Starting point is 00:00:36 up, everybody's striking. Dude, I meant, right? Nurses, teachers, fire people. And do you know what? Pay them all the monies. Those are three very crucial areas. I think that's a I'll say it. Reflection of the state of the nation. Now it's with the left.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Wow. But one of the big ones is we can't have our beautiful people of the fire and emergency New Zealand fens. We can't have them striking because we need them. We need the calendars, don't we? Have you guys clocked your eyes over the women's firefighters' calendar, New Zealand? No. I reckon just give it a clock. Hey, I don't even know there was one. I reckon just cast your eyes over it.
Starting point is 00:01:15 I've got eyes and they're free for cast it. While I follow the women's fire hydrant calendar, New Zealand women's firefighter calendar, we're not upset. Oh my goodness. No, okay. No, we're not upset. I'm going to set myself off fire. They're striking on Friday. Yeah, Freudy. Tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:01:35 So, I've got the top six ways to not catch fire tomorrow. But am I right in thinking that only striking for an hour or a certain amount of time? Yeah, a certain amount of time. Yeah, a very specific targeted strike. I know, yes.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Even that. Yeah, whereas teachers have a whole day to make it a long weekend. Yeah, well, you pop down to the Coramandel. Do you know what I mean? It's heating up. Yeah, yeah. You can actually start swimming in October.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Wow. My daughter's school. has a teachers under day on Friday. Thursday strike. Friday, teachers only, Saturday, Sunday, Monday long weekend. Good for the teachers. That's planning ahead. Good from the teachers. Well, the top six coming up, top six ways not
Starting point is 00:02:11 to catch fire during the strike. Next on the show though. Kevin Fedeline, ex-husband and baby daddy for Britney Spears is releasing a book and it is going to tell all and he's already started pouring the tea. Play ZDM's, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Kevin Fetterline, Baby
Starting point is 00:02:29 daddy to Britney Spears two sons. He was one of her backup dances back in 2004 when they met and hit it off and, you know, got married and he tried a music career for a while and everyone thought he was a joke and now he is the primary parent for those kids. He's parent one, right? He bloody
Starting point is 00:02:47 took them away as quick as pos. And they are like 58 now the kids, right? Yeah, I think they're just about pension age. But they're like... Adults. They're adults. And they made the decision, I think, a few years ago to distance himself from knife dancing mum
Starting point is 00:03:03 and great choice this is on my gym playlist I'll agree on Martin Henderson That's right in the music video One of New Zealand's biggest proudest moments He's the hot guy and the toxicity Toxicity no that's wrong band
Starting point is 00:03:21 Toxic but toxic Yeah yeah yeah Anyway so Kevin Fideline is releasing a memoir it's called You Thought You Know This is going to have a lot of teeth So considering he didn't really do much else Like he's not known for much more
Starting point is 00:03:37 I think this is going to be a very Britney-based book I read her memoir A couple of years ago, loved it I thought it was so good I saw one of the things he said in this book Was the night before their wedding He caught her on the phone To Justin Timberlake and was like
Starting point is 00:03:52 What? She's like, oh baby, I don't know Should I go through that And he was like, who are you talking to? Justin. He was like, Justin. That was really good from me, actually. Good impressions.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Another thing from the book is that he caught her cheating on him with a female backup dancer. Bisexual activity. Oh, wow. It doesn't count, though, if it's the same sex, right? No, because that's just hot. And he's like, man, titties on titties. And different area code. If you're on tour, same sex, same sex.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Backup dancer, it's not cheating. Yeah. So he's been doing a bit of publicity for this and he was on entertainment tonight and he was expressing some of his genuine concerns about Brittany. What's going on now and I'm not going to get into details because I'm not going to just expose her personal life. But it's ten times worse than anything that I've said in my book. I've stayed with my mouth shut for the sake of my family. I've tried to help my sons build a relationship with their mother and I pray to God every day that she gets to help that she needs or wakes up and realizes that you have two sons right there in front of you that are screaming. a life with you, the same
Starting point is 00:05:00 that they have with the rest of their family. At the end of the day, I just want Brittany to be around for her children for a long time. I think this is going to be a good read. If you, like me, have sort of become obsessed with the ongoing saga that is, our beloved... I think the world
Starting point is 00:05:16 is always obsessed. Totally. We just want to know more. She's so peculiar. Anyway, that's out on Tuesday next week. Wrap your ears or your eyes around that. Play. Z.M. and Haley. It's all the rage at the moment. Dopamine detoxing.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Oh, yeah, I'm a dopamine addict for sure. Quick fixes. Ruining our attention spans? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, guys, science is here to ruin the party. Oh, no. Because science has debunked the popular dopamine detox trend, which is all over TikTok reels and social media at the moment,
Starting point is 00:05:51 because you can't detox from dopamine. Because it's not a toxin that you can flush out. Isn't a good for? for you? Well, yeah, but the little, like, the addiction to those little dopamine hits is the thing that you're trying to detox, but you can't actually flush dopamine from the body, no. No, and so that's what they're saying. It's like, it might feel good for a day if you avoid screens, sugar, social media,
Starting point is 00:06:16 all of those kind of things, but it's not actually going to reset your brain's reward system. And apparently, the only way you can do that is by making, like, meaningful improvement. Yes. I know, I know. I know. You've got to focus on, you've just got to do all those little things and just change your habits.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Okay, I found this little article of the 45 ways to get a quick little dopamine hit. No phone needed. Chocolate. Should we try some of these? Yeah. Give me a number between 1 and 45. Seven. Wait, are you on, she's on slides. You can't do this when you're on slides.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Yes, I can. Stay with me. Because you're going to have to shuttle backwards and forwards. Okay, here we go. Eat lean protein. Yum. What are we talking? Let's get some chicken nuggets in here. I don't think... Get some chicken McNuggets is a
Starting point is 00:07:01 dog. I was talking to a food technologist on Tuesday night about... A food technologist? Yeah. Wow. Like, inventes food. Yeah. Wow. And she was saying, what is the thing we take?
Starting point is 00:07:13 Creatine. Yeah. Next, like, everybody should be taking it. There's a new type coming out too. There's a new type. There's a new type. Creatine, it's all the rage at the moment. Creatine.
Starting point is 00:07:23 I've eased off. Because what they said was, you would have to get creatine naturally. You'd have to eat one KG of like... Tomatoes or something. And I was like, well, I'll just do that. No, no, because that comes with a whole lot of other stuff. But I want to eat a KG stack a day.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I mean, it's really good as well for like people like us and people listening now that get up early in the morning. Yeah, everything. Yeah, she said everything, everything. Everything they test. Oh, no, I don't need to get dad on some creatine, get me on some creatine. Keeps your brain. It adds water to your muscles, right?
Starting point is 00:07:54 What makes it so good for you? Yeah. Is that it keeps you hydrated. I was getting too jacked, man. I had to go like sideways through a door. Yeah, you did. Yeah. That was a really tiny door though.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Yeah. It was a child's playhouse. It was a child's playhouse. But I had to go sideways. Because of the lats. And kind of like crowd. Okay. Do you want another dopamine hit?
Starting point is 00:08:11 Okay. That's not like a bad dopamine hit. Sniff coffee beans. Okay. Oh my God. This looks. I'm now looking at the list. One of them is look at the stars.

Starting point is 00:08:40 Use a silly voice. So if we could, or just do the hook. I couldn't pick a voice. I don't like, I'm just going to go back to my, I'm just going to go back to the scrolling TikToks, to be honest. Yeah, I think as well, I just want to have a little bit of phone time. No, stop this. Why did you pick that voice of all the voices? Do your Jenny slippery impression.

Starting point is 00:10:16 There is a updated version of chat GPT coming. When is this? December. December, December 2025. And it's supposed to, I mean, originally they had a lot of sort of safeguarding all over it to protect, you know, whoever was using it. And I remember, you know, trying to be a bit naughty with it. And it was like, I can't do that. I think it was like last year and I was maybe, well, the year before. Look what I did with mine yesterday.

Starting point is 00:11:19 So as part of the new version of ChatGPT, It's going to allow more human-like personalities. It's going to be able to use emojis, respond like a friend, match user tone. And it has introduced a new erotica feature. Oh, my. To in line with its new treat adults like adults' policy. So I think you'd have to log in to do this. I don't log in to prove your age.
Starting point is 00:11:43 It'll have age-gating measures. So you maybe upload ID or something like that. And then you can go on and be like, what does Mama want to read today? Uh-oh. So it'll... Write me... Is it cashing in on the whole... The girlies, the smart world.

Starting point is 00:12:36 What's a C-Ban? Could have been an email. Oh, yeah. We could say they were sat at the back of the C-Bam meeting when thighs brushed. And then off it would go and it would write us an erotica. Is it about that or is it, about getting their users more in love with their product?
Starting point is 00:12:56 Definitely, because, I mean, I love reading smart. We all do, but it's sometimes you're like, oh, I'm not, that's not so much my cup of tea. But this is going to be personalised. You can go in and say, I want the lead character to be a hilarious, hot 36-year-old woman from New Zealand, for example, I would put in there. And I want the main male character to be Jason Mamoa.
Starting point is 00:13:19 And they meet. Yeah. Well, Carmen's just messaging. is that it's the problem with authors and I've heard this is that, and this is the same with all of like anybody that uses it to generate art or stories it has to draw inspiration from somewhere.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Yeah, it can't. It doesn't think it up. No, it can't create. Yeah. It just takes and changes and it's using actual author's real works. Yeah, so it's basically stealing, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it'll never be as good as a creative brain.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Yeah. It was sat there and for months mapped out a story. All of the massive, like, A lot, not all, but a lot of the massive titles in this area started out as fan fiction. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Little internet fan fiction.

Starting point is 00:14:38 Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Haley. Now, yesterday, Fletcher and I went to the gym together. And so we were headed downstairs to collect my vehicle. And that was when, I believe Fletch felt a small rumble in the tumble and said before I get into the vehicle I am going to need to evacuate my bells. This says the bike, the bike bathroom.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Oh yeah, the bathroom's downstairs. Sometimes I'll skip the toilets in the foyer at work, catch the lift down to the basement when my car's parked and immediately would be like, I'm not going to make it home. No. And I go and use the... There's only one toilet in the downstairs. There's like five six showers.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I think they've got the shower to toilet ratio all whacks out of whack. It's so out of whack. Same with the female ones as well. And they can't have urinals down there because it's below. Yes, where's it going to go? I worked it out. I was like, why isn't there a ear in the nails? So you flush the toilet down there and you hear it go
Starting point is 00:15:27 and get sucked up to street level. Sucking up your poops in the street. I love that. Whereas the way isn't an ear in it wouldn't. No, it wouldn't. So you were heading to the bathroom, which is when I heard you say, he literally called out,
Starting point is 00:15:39 help! I was like, wait, what's happening? And they go around the bend and that's when we see Vaughn's truck, lights on. Unlocked, lights on. Unlocked. No, Vaughn.
Starting point is 00:15:52 I was like, oh my God, Vaughn's going to be collapsed in the front seat. He's had a heart attack. There it is. There's all that red meat. An incident? Right. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Well, it's hard to gas yourself in a hybrid. It is. It's pretty hard. Yeah, God, you'd sit there for a long time. Just goes to electric, you know, as soon as it stops. Yeah. So I'm like, oh, Vaughn's left his lights on. The idiot.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Absolutely idiot. And I'm able to open the door and I'm like, what? And I'm like, I'm trying to turn off the dial. It's on off. Yeah, yeah. And the button is still on a dial. No, the button shuttles between the different lights. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:22 And I did press... Oh, I see what you say. And I did press it as well. And that's when Haley and I realized that it's not turning off. The lights aren't turning off because your keys are in there. Your keys are in the car, and the car was like on. Not motor running, but on. Yeah, and you'd gone to catch up with a friend for coffee.
Starting point is 00:16:39 And I'm like, oh, well, Vaughan's just obviously dumped his bag in the keys and left it here. So we're starting to picture a horrific afternoon for you. You've come back from a lovely friendly catch-up with a friendly catch-up with a Your friend, your car's dead. So we were like, we'll save the day. Yeah. I get in the front and I turned off the car properly and I took your keys out and I hid them.
Starting point is 00:16:59 You hid them on the, literally on the foot rail. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, you literally had the car running with the keys in it. So I was like, safety wasn't really an issue. This is, yeah. This is true. It's in a locked car park.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yeah, yeah. And then you had tried calling him. I tried calling. I sent a photo. I said, here's we've left your keys. And Haley and I went on with our day. and we did say to ourselves many times, we've really saved one's day there, haven't we?
Starting point is 00:17:21 Yeah, yeah, and crazy, actually. He must still be catching up this, mate, because he has not sent us the thanks that we felt so deserving of. That we deserved, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And then you finally messaged after catching it with your car. And I said, no, I did it on purpose.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I was charging my Apple Watch. Yeah, so you weren't anymore, were you? No, because I was only gone for like maybe 10 minutes before you guys, these two clowns came along and turned the car off, so my Apple Watch started charging. My Apple Watch stopped charging. Yeah, imagine if you had. It's got an electric battery, so it would, like, just sit with that for a very, very, very long time.
Starting point is 00:17:53 We don't know how batteries work. Sometimes in my car, if I leave the lights on, it's screwed. You're not rocking a hybrid. I'm not rocking a hybrid. I didn't know hybrid batteries were better. Because my watch didn't charge overnight, and I was like, I'm not going to the gym if I can't close the rings. Like, what's the point? And so I needed the encouragement of the watch having a full charge to be bothered going to the gym on the way home.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Okay. So I left it charging, full well-knowing that the battery wouldn't go flat in the hour and a bit. away. Yeah, how much charge did your Apple Watch have when you got back to the car? About 14%?
Starting point is 00:18:23 That's not enough for a long workout, is that? Nope, nope. So you didn't go to the gym because of us. Because then I got back in the car and I was like, oh, and I put it back, I put it, plugged it back.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Right, turned the car on. Well, see that, you could have just done that eventually anyway. We're still waiting for our thanks for saving your afternoon. Not thanks. Kind of just pulled me out. The watch was constantly like,
Starting point is 00:18:47 I was just finishing my workout and I was like, I'm going to go flat again. So I just managed to get it in. Okay, well, good. Well, no harm, no foul. No harm, no foul. Just don't, just don't touch it. And your not thanks is not accepted.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Next time something like this happens and you actually do need us to, you know, step in. And you'll be like, help, come give me a jump. Play ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley.

Starting point is 00:24:19 whatever you do. Yep. Do not bloody rub two sticks together at a rapid pace and put dry pine needles on them and gently blow. Whatever you do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:27 What would happen? Well, you could start fire. Fire. Fire. A couple of sticks. Yeah. Stick, stick, stick. We'll get a hot bit of pine needles.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Far easier said than dumb. Do you genuinely think if you got lost in the Bosch? No. You'd be able to do it? No. And New Zealand bush is too wet. Don't you create?
Starting point is 00:24:47 Yeah, it's too weird. Yeah, yuck. We are a moist bush. We're a wet bush. We need to get somewhere, you need to get out from under the canopy cover. Yes. And find some dry stuff. But even then.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Or just a McDonald's. This whole country's as weird as a shag. I'd probably just get a fire starter, one of those blocks in a lighter. Yeah. We're bothering of sticks, man. Use a lighter. Yeah, man, that's a great point. If you're lost, light a fire with a lighter.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Take a lighter. That's why I always have a lighter in a knife. Yeah. If I'm lost. In the city. Yeah, CBD. Yeah. You won't keep.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Catch me, that's the top sex today. Play, ZM, Split Vaughan and Haley. According to this survey, three in ten, American adults are still afraid of the dark. A lot of them, one in ten, sleeping with the lights, fully on. What? That's so bad for you. That's so bad for you. You should, like, what the hell?
Starting point is 00:25:39 You should try and have a darkness. I sleep with an eye mask now. It's so good, life-changing. An iron mask. An eye mask. You are ugly, but I don't think there's any mention. for wearing my entire face. The man in the iron mask.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Can you mean? Leaping in an iron mask? Oh, God. No. No. It's like an anxiety blanket for the face. It is. It's pretty quite nice. But you need darkness to like, you know.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Tell your body it's time to go to hell to sleep and replenish. No, I need complete darkness as well. And I love the dark. The other day I did see a shadow and I went, and I... But you can't have shadows in the complete dark. Because I've got a little window that looks into my bedroom. Do you know, like at the top of the door?
Starting point is 00:26:18 Oh, that was me. The peepie tom window. Yeah, and my TV was on. She's so desperate for attention, she even wants people to watch her sleep. Genuinely. You wake up and someone's there, you know, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Yeah, that's her nightmare. That's my nightmare. Hello? Someone look and listen at me, laugh at me. Oh, God, the most horrible nightmare that no one was laughing at me. Anyway, so it's a very childish fear, I guess. It is. Yeah, that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:46 I want to know. But isn't it one of the innate human fears? Well, it's just, yeah, because you can't see in so well. Is it there, like, fears that you're born with? One of them is falling. Is it so that we keep ourselves alive? Yeah, so we don't go out in the dark because our bodies were, I guess, wired to escape predators.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Yes. I mean, cavemen had the moon, didn't they? Yeah, that's true. They already had the moon. They didn't have blackout curtains. We are born with two in eight fears, the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. I do apologize. The darkness isn't one of them.
Starting point is 00:27:15 I hate loud noises. If you pop a balloon near me, I'm going to punch you in the guts. Anyway, I want to know if you have an unreasonable or a silly fear like the dark. And I don't want to poop out of anyone's fears because let's be honest, mine is one of the dumbest. A lot of them have like the actual names, don't they? Yeah, well, phobia is mine. Yeah, clownophobia. What's that?
Starting point is 00:27:35 The phobia of clowns. Clownophobia. I'm pretty sure though there's a proper name for that one. No, there's not. There is. It's called clownophobia. Don't come around here with your education. Choroi phobia.
Starting point is 00:27:47 I'm not afraid to wear in cordroys. I'm not afraid of proficient of clowns that can trigger significant distress. Do you know a lot of people to this day as adults will be scared to get to their bed. Oh my eyes. Feet monsters under the bed. Feet hanging on the side of the bed. You're like, oh, someone's going to grab my ankle.
Starting point is 00:28:03 One of the main reasons are good solid bed-based rules. Because you can run and leap. The goblins and the monsters can't live under there's no room. No one can live under my bed unless they're in one of the drawers. Yeah. But keep that shut. They can't actually open that. It's like when the monsters are in your wardrobe,
Starting point is 00:28:18 you shake the wardrobe, they actually can't open that. No, they can't. But if you leave it open, they can get out. My clothes horses slid under my bed, and that's all that fits under there. So good luck, monsters. Okay, so you want to hear from people this morning. What is your silly or irrational or, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:32 maybe like a childish fear that you still have now as an adult? Okay, 0,800, wait, what did someone message? No, someone just messaged in the word, and they said they're legitimately scared of MOTHs as well, but you can't be because you were happy to type the word. I wouldn't even say the word or look at the word Okay, 0800,000M is our number Give us a call, you can text through 9-69696
Starting point is 00:28:53 What is your silly fear? Third of Americans are still scared of the dark So I want to know what is your, I guess, irrational or sort of seemingly silly fear That you still hold on to as an adult As an adult. Yours is the powdery butterflies. Powdery butter, dusty butts. Dasty butt. Fletcher is also scared of dusty butts.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Yeah, you've got to keep a bit of. fresh. Dusty butts. Oh my God. I hate them with all my being. The irony is, and I think we've mentioned this before, is that Haley is terrified of MOTHs, but we have
Starting point is 00:29:26 double glazing, two layers of windows, the outer exterior and the insteria, interior. Interior. And there's an MOTA that they didn't clear out on the end, they put the windows in. And it sits there. It's like a vitrine, like a
Starting point is 00:29:42 museum display. Yeah. Yeah. There's a chair There's a chair in front of it And every now and then I see it again It's made me feel quite slick Let's move on other people's phobias Michael, good morning What's yours?

Starting point is 00:30:10 With a knife Really? So you'll just You'll lose a bit of the skin and Apple just to get rid of it? Yep, gone. It is weird they put those stickers on everything, like even...
Starting point is 00:30:21 Every piece. Like, every piece. Like, okay, we know it's a Mandarin, you know? I'm aware of the Mandarin status of this Mandarin. It is so weird. They need it. They need it. Because if someone just buys a single Mandarin,
Starting point is 00:30:34 then what? They're not going to know it's a Mandarin. Put it in your mouth and taste it. All the stickers have got the PLU on them. Yeah, yeah. But the weird glad wrapper I can kind of understand because it's a weird texture. isn't it?
Starting point is 00:30:45 It's the texture. It's the... Oh, you don't know how long it's been there for? Yeah. How much money, Michael, would you take for us to cover you
Starting point is 00:30:55 in wet glad wrap, like wrap you in it? Oh, yuck. You couldn't pay me. Like, what about $1,000? I've got 10 grand in my pocket. I'm going to give it to right now if I can wet, glad wrap you.
Starting point is 00:31:06 10 grand and $1. And we're on. I told you, Michael. I had 10 grand. I don't have 10 grand. And while you're covered in wet glad rat will put fruit stickers on your cheeks. Oh.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Oh, he's like, nut. He's like, nut. No money in the world. I need 20. Sorry for traumatising you there, Michael. Sarah, what is your fear as an adult? Good morning. My fear has been for a long time, robots or people dressed as robots.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Okay. Shit, the future's going to be bleak for you. Yeah, you must not want to go anywhere in Boston, Diane. Wait, so wait, not actual robots, but just humans wearing robot costumes. Both. Both. And I don't know where it comes from. And the other thing is stilt walkers.
Starting point is 00:31:55 I am highly craped out by stilt walkers. I've never liked. Yeah, because it's like, you're so tall, but, like, it's just a stick. But you're still in proportion. Yeah. Anybody else want to dress as a robot and get on some stilts? Really blow my mind. No.
Starting point is 00:32:09 No. No, robot is on stilts. Exposure therapy. It is a real way to get over fear. I think it comes from Doctor Who as a kid and Star Wars. Yeah, okay. I guess it was a bit traumatic.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A bit scary as a kid. Yeah, yeah. The Daleks and Doctor Who. Thanks, Sarah. Anonymous. What is your fear as an adult? Morning, long-time listener, first-time caller. Oh, wow. Welcome, welcome.

Starting point is 00:33:01 It's just makes me cringe I can literally hear the quiver in your voice I know Wait could you do you still use salatite Like to wrap presents But you just have a dispenser Yeah I just have a dispenser that all use scissors.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Cissors, like a normal human bay. I mean, it's probably good because we're not supposed to be using our teeth the way we use them. No, no. Opened beer bottles and cracking, you know, ripping shit open. Anonymous, thank you so much. Some techs in.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Stringy bits on the sides of banana. Yeah, they're pretty dark. Kelsey said, I've got megalophobia. Like, having to walk off planes if I have to because they're so big. And standing next to the Skytower absolutely freaks me out. Oh, okay. So it's a grandeur of things.
Starting point is 00:33:41 things are way, way bigger than be. Imagine seeing a huge whale. Oh, that'd be too much. Yeah. Absolutely too much. Megalophobia. I've never heard of that. No. That's so fascinating. Let's see when you go overseas,
Starting point is 00:33:56 like if you were going to London, you just have to do like lots of three-hour trips on little planes. Yeah, because I mean, you could take a boat, but those things aren't small. Some of those jumbo jets, eh? They're like, they're woppers. Well, yeah, like an A380. I'm seeing an A380 when you were like walking past it to get on it, and you're like, oh, that's not fine. That's not flying.
Starting point is 00:34:12 That's not hovering. Yeah, how does that get off the ground? Yeah, as if. Then you get iron and it makes all those squeaky noises. Yeah. Ice block sticks. I can't even see or watch someone holding on to it. Oh.
Starting point is 00:34:22 I thought I wanted to touch my tongue. Balloons are scared of those. Discussing latex bags of hot breath. Latex bags of hot breath. I've never thought about it like that. That's so funny. As a kid, someone told me that when you kill a spider, all of its family will come for you.
Starting point is 00:34:39 And so now I'm like terrified of spiders. They also won't kill them, because I don't want this. I'm scared of using big spoons. I'm a teaspoons only. Okay. That probably makes you meal go further. Yeah, it does. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Makes you feel like you're ready more. I have tropophobia. That's the cluster of holes. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like sponges and... Lots of people have those. Pumice. Terrified of...

Starting point is 00:35:20 Nope, nope, no. I ain't scared of no hole was okay, hole busters? Yeah, no, no, because we hadn't said it out loud. It was improv. Improv doesn't always work. Improft doesn't always hit. It's not scripting. I think the broadcasting standards authority has, they're a bit looser on improv.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Right, okay. Yeah, they are. Because it wasn't calculated. No, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As broadcasters, we make mistakes, and Holbusters was one of them. I don't know if there's a name for it, but when it's nighttime and dark outside, I can't have the curtains open, it feels like someone's lurking in the darkness.
Starting point is 00:35:51 I think that's just being afraid of the dark. I think that's watching scream as a teenager. Yeah, yeah. Lobsters or crabs, mum threw one at me while I was on the toilet once as a kid. Mum sounds fun. Mum sounds fun. Oh, Mom had had a couple of wines. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:09 How weird is it that? Your mom's like, I've had a couple of drinks. I'm like, go throw some crabs at my kids. Haley's in the toilet. Lloyd, Craig, Craig, watch this. I'm a chuck of a boff a crab in there. I'm about to create a lifelong trauma. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Vaughan right now has a sob story. You've only got yourself to blame for this, Vaugh. Technically, the cost more than $10. Okay. A friend of mine messaged a while ago, and she said, I've got a package for you. She started doing, like, marketing and pay.
Starting point is 00:36:40 for Lee sawm, the sawmill beers. Oh, yeah. Out Matacanaway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She moved there and she's like, I've been, I'm doing this now. And I've got this package for you. And I was like, I'll carry her it down. I was like, well, that's going to cost.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I was like, just give it to a mutual friend. And I'll catch up with that friend and there'll be in exchange. Now, that is one of those things where you're like, yep, said and done. And then weeks are passing and you still haven't got your thing. And then the friend's like, I'm sick of carrying around this thing for you. Can I just post it down? Make time to get it.
Starting point is 00:37:11 And so I was like, let's catch up for coffee. Okay, nice. So yesterday I went and caught up with coffee for her and this box sat on the table the whole time. And when she left, she's like, how are you getting this back to your work? I said, I'm going to pop it in the back of a lime scooter. Some of them have baskets.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Some of them got the seats in the baskets. The seat lime scooters are embarrassing for a fully grown man to scoot around on. Yeah, I don't like them. Because I've done it a few times and everybody, every time someone said to me, just stand up. Yeah, just stand up.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Yeah, I stand up if they're the only one to use. Just stand up. I'm feeling silly. Also, when you sit down, I feel like you get all the bumps, whereas you stand out of the jumps. It makes you feel like I'm a freestyle motocross.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Off-roader. I feel like I'm a nitro circus. Okay. Or the metal militia. Yeah, welcome to jackass. I'm a 43-year-old man with the bad back. This is actually very dangerous for me to be doing. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:01 So then I get back to work. I hop off, I take my photo of my scooter in its position, and I walk away from the package. Didn't you leave something? It was your protein powder. That's right. Same thing. Like I'd picked up his courier and we split ways and I was like, I'll bring this over to yours.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Back of the thing, you just walked away. Because you don't see it. And the basket needs to be on the front. Yeah. So were you constantly looking at the thing. I went back. I haven't told them by the way that I, both the original gift. Did you go look?
Starting point is 00:38:31 Because I went back and then the package was in the back and I was like, oh my God, I just grabbed it. I didn't even think about it until I got home, way later in the. the day after some runabouts of the girls and I got her, I was like, man, I could do it with a beer. Oh my God! Damn it! Wait, and I miss is Shannon who just left a box of beers in public. A kid could have found those.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Wow. I wouldn't put that on me? Yeah, and now he started his lifelong relationship with alcohol and that's on you. Wow. Yeah, when the teacher's striking yesterday, there's probably some three-team, 14s. He's probably just working up in a gutter. Yeah. I don't like to think that happened.
Starting point is 00:39:04 I like to think someone living in central Auckland that's living rough. Yeah. Found themselves a sweet little friend. A lovely lovely, local craft beer. Lovely. Warm. Lovely.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Shaken. Yeah, warm, slightly shaken. Yeah, you know, not fussy. Just grateful. Also, I like that you got in our group chat later in the day and then like kind of kind of said, oh, maybe you go check Shannon to go and check it. I'm like, Shannon does it? Is it doing a run around?
Starting point is 00:39:26 She offered. She said, I live close. I'm going to go to the dairy anyway. Yeah, I was going to the dairy. I needed tomatoes. So I was like, I'm going to do a round trip. I went to the other dairy just for you. and then I was messaging you being like
Starting point is 00:39:40 is it the scooter is it the scooter it's a very funny chat It wasn't it wasn't any of those scos Yeah they were long gone I might be one of those scooters but the package was gone I haven't told either of them by the way I'm just yeah
Starting point is 00:39:51 I'm gonna message and be like Mmm the delicious be I was also thinking how funny it would be If I found the bears How suspicious I would have looked Just walking up to a scooter stealing from it essentially It looks like a drug drop eh
Starting point is 00:40:03 Yeah It does yeah You know what I mean Like I'm gonna leave this here And then you're gonna parked it, put the money in there. And then you scoot away on it. That's actually the best way, because no one touches the drugs.
Starting point is 00:40:11 No. And in the movies, that's, so where's the touching of the drugs and the exchanging of the money? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you pulled up on scooters? So if today, if you were thinking of doing a drug drop. Well, I don't know. I reckon someone arrives with drugs in the back of the scooter

Starting point is 00:42:49 as a lifestyle choice. Big backyards, friendly dogs, and proximity to the highway makes it feel like a mini escape from the city, though technically you're still five minutes from Kmart. Oh, that's good. You've got a lot of close to a Kmart.
Starting point is 00:43:00 You just never know. You just never know. You need some storage options. It might need. ice tray. I might need. So that's randomly generated. Now I've got the boundaries. Okay. It's a fairly big part of Invercala. Okay, say the suburb

And it wasn't in a friendly matter at all. And then the girl who was being bitten swung back over her head with a bottle, a tattoo, if you remember that RTV.

Starting point is 00:46:15 describing her environment. Yes, I know this is a perfect winner. I'm a teacher. What can I say? Wow. Yeah, there we go. Well, this will help the next time you strike. You know, you've got $10. Yeah, you're primary or secondary? Secondary.
Starting point is 00:46:28 $10. I am primary, so we're striking on, Therazer. You have it next Thursday. Well, you just got a $10 pay rise. One day only, though. One day, and just you. That'll be burning a hole in your pocket, though, if you can hold on to $10 for a week.
Starting point is 00:46:41 It will be well. Janelle, wait there, Vaughn's going to personally transfer you. Are you just doing a bank transfer horn? Are you just checking what account that's going out of? Okay, right, okay. I reckon it can come out of that account. We've got to talk to Ross Boss today about boosting some funds into your account, I think.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Yeah, I'm starting to worry. It might have to become Haley's. Hey, I was going to say. Play ZMs, Flaj, Vaughan and Hayley. Kim Kay, who by the way, I love I'm such a fan of hers. I think she's very funny. I think she's very self-aware. I think she's very successful and I just think
Starting point is 00:47:09 she's smart. I really, I do love Kim Kay. I say that with no irony. I saw, I made of 57, so I did see her at an airport once. Oh, she's so little. So, okay, two bits of news. Let's start in the Skim's territory. Okay. Of her underwear or
Starting point is 00:47:28 active wear, her brand basically. They famous for some of their pieces, including the bra, that Morgan sexologist, Morgan Penn bought the hard nipple bra. That's right, really? We did a test. I believe it was Dr. Shawnee did the testing.
Starting point is 00:47:45 And high. She will often go without. Yes, I know, but when she does, she likes a push-up. And so this was a push-up with a hardened nip on it. I don't remember who did the nipple testing at that lunch? And I had a hard nipple and we tested her fake hard nipple with my
Starting point is 00:48:00 real hardenerable. This is why we don't get invited back to a lot of restaurants. Was this with the lunch recently? Your birthday lunch? No, no, no, no. The one before. I was going to say, I don't remember it. Must have been mad.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Maybe it was so traumatic, I blanked it out. Has she just recently done a co-lab with Nike? Nike? Nike? Eddie, one of them. One of them. Anyway. Adidas was a Kanye.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Yes. I think it was Nike. Yeah, it's Nike skins. Nike, Nike. That is, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And I love it. Her brand is like size inclusive and like colored skin inclusive.
Starting point is 00:48:30 I love it. So her new piece already sold out, which it always does, right, on skims. It is a thong and it is tiny. And in the front is a little panel that would go over the front. And on it is a sort of sewn in pubs. This is the modern Merkin. And it's sold out immediately. Well, we've all laced it off our pubs and everyone's full of regret.
Starting point is 00:48:56 So now if you want a big bush, yeah, the bush, yeah, the bush is back. Long string and pubs as a matter of fact. Right. I mean, I think it's like, it's a bit of tongue and cheek as well. Yeah, yeah, it's just marketing, right? Like what was her last one? Oh, the face strap that sold out immediately. It's smart.
Starting point is 00:49:14 It's so smart. She gets everybody talking. Yeah, yeah. So that's sold out if you want to buy it. I think the nipple push-up bra you can still get online, but yeah, the Merkin is sold out. And I saw this this morning when I was having a little scroly-wolly. Kim Kardashian is the latest guest
Starting point is 00:49:31 on The Call Her Daddy Podcast which she gets great guests and always has amazing interviews and Kim Kardashian is the latest one and I tell you what Alex the host didn't hold back with the questions she asked him what it's like to co-parent with Kanye
Starting point is 00:49:48 and how involved he is when was the last time Kanye saw the kids whenever he'll call for them and ask It's probably been a couple months since we've heard from him. Look, it's not easy no matter what. Every time he has asked, I will always let them see their father. That's just who I am.
Starting point is 00:50:12 You know, if there's a time where it's just really super unhealthy, I will, you know, say, hey, let's do it here at my house or let's figure out a different time. So she basically doesn't, she just doesn't sugar-coder. He's not a hands-on father He's barely involved in their lives very much The question that the host Alex asked Was, what's it like co-parenting with Kanye West And Kim's immediate answer was
Starting point is 00:50:38 What do you think it's like co-parenting with Kanye West? A nightmare? Yeah, like you just get this sort of idea That she's a very patient and like tolerant woman Yeah But she asked all these questions Like she asked about rumours of fake You know
Starting point is 00:50:52 Stuff that the Kardashians have been accused of for years like implants and, you know, planting paparazzi and leaking sex tapes for their own success and all this kind of stuff. And it's very, very honest and very raw. And that's the latest episode of Callie Day. Yeah, it was out like 10 hours ago, basically. And it's definitely worth a listen.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. A bit of a saga to quickly unfold here before I want to hear from our lovely listeners. You may remember last week I took Tuesday off the day before my birthday I don't know what you guys said on here I was sick or whatever
Starting point is 00:51:32 We didn't say I think we just said you're away Yeah away I wasn't away You were away With the bloody fairies Because I had woken up on that Tuesday morning to go to work at 440 or whatever
Starting point is 00:51:48 420 or whatever it was And I Fout a burning On my chin like no other and I had messed with the chin the day before but not I didn't think it was
Starting point is 00:52:01 I thought I was sort of wake up and what I'd done would be over and I went and I looked in the bathroom mirror and my chin was starting to blister slightly and as I tried to touch it or put something on it the skin would sort of start melting away and that's not what you want from your skin yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:52:16 no because I remember that happened to me when I was working in Chernobyl I don't know if you guys have heard of the yeah I remember there was this little town in the 80s there was a slight incident. Yeah, and your whole skin melted off. Just melt my face and the whole skin rubbed off. That's right.
Starting point is 00:52:29 I recovered with some Savon. Yes. Yes, she was actually going there for a while. It's a vast, yeah. So what I had done the day before was I had dermoplanged my face to remove my chin bristles and the hairs, right? There's little blades that you just kind of go like this and lots of girls do it all over their whole face,
Starting point is 00:52:48 but I was just getting the pricklies. I do this a lot. I've never had an issue before. And then later on in that day, I noticed some light pimples. I didn't put two and two together that I just probably had a little bit of, you know, abrasion or whatever. Yeah. And so with the pimples, what I did was I squeezed them. And they weren't pimple-like because what came up was more of a watery liquid.
Starting point is 00:53:10 And then I thought I'll put a pimple treatment on it and I got one of the harshest ones I could find that was full of all sorts of acids. And I put that on my face. And so when I woke up on the Tuesday, I was like something's gone horribly wrong. my skin start melting off and then so what I did on that day was rub it quite aggressively and then put hydrochortizone on that
Starting point is 00:53:30 so then I throughout the day it got worse and I jumped on a video call with a doctor and he said why on earth have you done that please stop touching it but I didn't quite believe him so I continued with the hydrochortisone for two more days
Starting point is 00:53:44 later that day I also did an emergency doctor yeah literally says on the tube of hydrochortisone And don't put in open sores. Open wounds and sores. And then I sort of thought that was the worst of it. And on that Tuesday, I had sent photos and it was like, it didn't look as bad. I was like, it looks worse in real life. And I just said off here before, I had no idea what was coming.
Starting point is 00:54:04 The next day was my birthday and I wanted to feel attractive. So I put makeup on it. Mistake number nine at this point or whatever. By the Thursday, like shit hit the fan. It got so bad. My skin blistered. It melted. Like my whole, it grew through like my nose down to my chin.
Starting point is 00:54:21 It was cracking, it was bliss, it was, it has been horrendous. Now, this would never happen if you washed your face with St. Ives' foot scrub. I know, I think causing the abrasion was mistake number one. So it was it the planing, the dermaplaining? I created small, this is, because I've seen four doctors now. I created basically micro little cuts and abrasions. Then I'd squeezed bacteria through it by popping these little pimpleum or blisters or whatever. it was. Then I'd put acid on it and created a chemical
Starting point is 00:54:53 burn. Then I'd put hydrochortisone on it. The acid didn't kill the bacteria. The acid didn't kill the bacteria. Because I'm feeling this had a big, I swallowed a spider to catch the flying. Yeah, totally. Why oh, why? And then, so the last doctor I've seen was, it's concluded and then I had a staff infection on my face. So it's literally been awful. And then you may have noticed on our socials. I was like, don't film me, Shannon. What is a staff infection?
Starting point is 00:55:18 Just a bacterial skin infection, real bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, real bad. And then just to sort of add to it, so I went on antibiotics to get rid of the staff, and then I thought I got thrush, and then I took anti-thrush medication to get rid of the thrush from the antibiotics. It's big, so I just wanted a catch flight.
Starting point is 00:55:32 You know, and I finally today feel like I've woken up, and I'm like on the mend. It's been a big 10 days for Haley. It's been a thing. I've cried a lot. Have we sufficiently provided comfort? You've been great. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Honestly, as a team. where I was like you were really upset and Fletch and I were just sitting here looking at each other and I think I patted you but Fletch was just like it's okay and I was like I don't think we're doing enough no you're fine I don't want to overdo it and then Haley's like I'm not used to being ugly yeah I said I'm new to being ugly I said don't bully me I'm new to being ugly and then I said really and yeah I've been down well she cried she cried again you to being ugly yeah but it like we can laugh now because you were trying to It got so bad.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Yeah, and it was all in the name of beauty. I know, it was. Like, if you just left your face alone, you'd be fine. I know, literally every step of the way I messed up. Anyway, I want to know now, what was your beauty nightmare? And this always happens when you take things into your own hands. Yeah. When you're like, I'm going to give myself a wax.
Starting point is 00:56:40 I'm going to wax my eyebrows. I'm going to... This ointment will be fine. This one will be fine. It's not used for that, but I'll use that. But you literally, every step of the way, just made things worse. Yeah, and then each new doctor I saw was like, oh, why? Why?
Starting point is 00:56:55 Why? Yeah, was one of those doctors, Dr. Shawnee, our friend, Dr. Shawnee. Dr. Shawnee was Dr. Schorney was Dr. No. 3. He provided excellent advice. And then Dr. No, 4 was like. Because you had the thrush and the UTI, the thrush from all of that. She was the one who was like, that is now officially staff, so. Jesus. I did a number on the face.
Starting point is 00:57:19 Wow. I feel like almost I was like, should we put a photo up on socials, but it was grim. It was so, so there. We've turned a corner? We've turned a corner, yeah, it's like the antibiotics have kicked in,
Starting point is 00:57:27 everything's, it'll be gone, I reckon come Monday next week. Right, there might be a little, it'll be red for a little bit. Yeah, do you know we went on a date with this face? Wow. I mean, that's a true test. I was like, Sprow's still got a prowl.
Starting point is 00:57:40 It was like when your cat, it's been in a fight with a cat and it's looking a bit bad, but worse for wear, but it still goes out on the prowl. Well, she was in a burker. You were in a burke, weren't you? Yeah, and then I was like, is this wrong?
Starting point is 00:57:51 You know, so I took it off, and he was like, far out. Anyway, you've got to call him. You've bought me at my best. You've got to have me at my worst. Yeah, this is true. Okay, so, we want to take some calls. If you can't handle it at her burns victim, you don't deserve it her Beyonce. That's right.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Yeah, exactly. Put that on a t-shirt. Yeah. So, 0-800 down at air. We want to hear some calls now. Take your stories. You can text in 9-6-9-6. That we're flooded already.
Starting point is 00:58:14 I love this. I want to know what was your beauty nightmare. Make me feel better. Yeah, because... Because I did it all to myself. Are you using face masks again? I just want to say, and I want to apologize to Casey, I am a Casey ambassador. This has nothing to do with them.
Starting point is 00:58:28 They're like, we're distancing ourselves from here. Well, over the last 10 days, I have quietly and emotionally been dealing with a self-inflicted chemical burn that turned into a staff infection in the great place of my face. There were days last week when we were told off for making you laugh because you couldn't open your mouth. When it was doing the drying process, I had to, and I couldn't eat very well because I couldn't have opened my mouth. The mouth's been completely useless for 10 days.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Tell you what. Anyway, I want to know what was your beauty nightmare. Jane, good morning. What happened? I was just laughing with my daughter about what shade of orange, my head turned to when I died it from dark, dark brown
Starting point is 00:59:13 to try to diet blonde myself. You can't just do that. Well, I didn't. It was way back in the early 2000s, and we decided that it was a firecropped orange. Yeah, yeah, firecropped orange. I beeline my way to Stephen Maher in Newmarket, if I can name drop that cell.
Starting point is 00:59:34 And I don't think it's a shedload of cash trying to trick it. And I was still crying at the end, and it's taken so long to get over it. So I still can't deal with the color. She's triggered. She sees mandarines. She sees oranges. She's like... Donald Trump's on the news. She's like... He's okay. He's okay. He's okay. I don't think we say he's okay. He's okay to look at you. He's okay. He's okay to look at it.
Starting point is 01:00:02 You don't try to make yourself blonde. I feel like every woman learnt that the hard way. Yeah. It was way back in the 2000s when we were flapping and Collie Marama. Yeah. What colour is you here now, Hon? Have we stayed dark? Um, no, I just said to her, my daughter, I'm like, here we are. No, no, no, we didn't stay dark. We went to the blonde, and it did take a long time and thank God for Oliplex. I thank God for Oliplex.
Starting point is 01:00:27 Jesus bless. Thank the Lord. What's Oliplex? It's like, it helps strengthen your hair. It's like a savior of hair. Too late for me for a normalplex? Sorry, boys. Jane, thank you.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Let's go to Charlotte. Charlotte, what was your beauty nightmare? Um, so I go to a beauty school, and I got my first Brazilian wats. And long story short, she sealed me shut. She, she what? Shut. Of my Brazilian wax.
Starting point is 01:00:54 She sealed my... She sealed your flags. She said, she sealed a flat. She sealed up the hoo-ha. Yeah. She sealed up the furrow. She re-sealed Tutman-Karman's tomb. Why was the wax on the lips?
Starting point is 01:01:10 It should be on the outer, not the inner. I don't know. I really don't know. Yeah, but that's what beauty school is for. It's about trial and error, isn't it? It's about learning. Yeah, but I'm not putting my vagina on the line for you to learn how to... It's about learning the inner outer ins and outs.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's literally learning the ins and out. To learn your minora's from your majors. Yeah, yeah, yeah, which one's which? Also, is this, is it weird going to course, Charlotte, and everyone in your course sees your hoo-huh? Mm. Oh, 100%, but it's even worse that the teacher's seen it.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Yeah, because you don't go to welding school and get your dicks. You don't. You don't. You actually do. You obviously don't know how many engineers. You didn't go to my school. Charlotte,
Starting point is 01:01:51 I love getting it out. How did we separate the sea? Um, she just had to just rip it. Oh, Farrah Palmer. Oh, that's a lip smacker. That is a lip-smacker.
Starting point is 01:02:08 That is a lip-not, though, is that? Yeah, well, it's not. Um, okay. Lillip rip. The lip-rip. Lipper ripper. Latter rip. Okay, Charlotte, thank you for that.
Starting point is 01:02:19 I'm so sorry, Charlotte. Okay. Our blessings to your menorah, yeah. Brenna, good morning. What was your beauty nightmare? Good morning. I was a student in Dunedan. I came home from town at all hours of the morning.
Starting point is 01:02:30 And I was like, right, I'm going to be good. I'm going to take my makeup off. I know. I would have thought. And the makeup removal bottle looked very, very similar to the nail polish remove a bottle. No, no. So I slat that on.
Starting point is 01:02:43 And, yeah, I drowned my face. face in all my eyes in a nail polish removal. I got super sensitive skin until it just burned and rashed up. Oh, Brennan. Oh no. Did you have to go to the hospital or anything?
Starting point is 01:02:58 No, I was like, we're just going to have to sit this out. I'm not going to ask. It's basically like turps, eh? Turp and time. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Because you wouldn't, you would have noticed straight away. It's not like you would have... Yeah. Yeah, it's an instant thing. Yep, that burning of the eyes.
Starting point is 01:03:14 Oh, shit. just go to bed with it on. And then the next day you can sort of tidy it up a bit and crack on day two. If you're staying in the spare room, he has to wash a pillow. He has makeup on them. Brenner, he hates it when I don't wash my face at his house. It's just a courtesy, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:03:30 It is, it is. I like a big brown smear on the white sheets. Thank you, Brenner. So many messages are in your beauty nightmares. I cut my own fringe two days before the school ball. It looked like one of those weird, short, hipster fringes. Minge fringe. Got a binge fringe.
Starting point is 01:03:43 Oh, 800 minge fringe fringe. Got a minch fringe in our hands. Yeah. Oh, 800 binch fringe. Who asks us if you call that? I don't know. I don't know. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Do I have to dial one to get out? 0,800. Oh, wait, I don't have the letters on my keypad. Oh, let me put it. You're going to have to tell me what M is. Is it nine? No, no, no, no. M was six, wasn't it?
Starting point is 01:04:07 Six. Hang on. Hold on. Well, now I'm going to have to start again, aren't I? Hang on. It's a motor. Here we go. I've got it.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Okay. One. 0-800 6, 4, 6, 4, 3, Yep, and they'll probably get just F3. Enter. Oh, that's cool. No, this is what it does when it calls reception.
Starting point is 01:04:31 Oh no, you've got to wait. How embarrassing, if you didn't realize it as a company. The number you have called is either not allocated. Oh, 800 minge. Oh, 800 minge, friend. Mingeiff. Pizure. We have the F.
Starting point is 01:04:43 Lovely. Well, that's good to know that's available. I got squirited in the face by one of those automatic fly spray dispensers. Well, that's not where I thought that was going at the start of story. I know, that's why I didn't pause. I just kept going. I got squirted in the face by one of those automatic fly spray dispenses. My whole face swelled up like I was there. I was like that cat lady. It was horrific. Also, how tall are you or who's leaving one of those? Those aren't at face height?
Starting point is 01:05:06 Those aren't at like the breakfast bar level? No. You have them high or low? Yeah. I met a month ago, a little sore on the tip of my nose. I thought it was a pimple. gave it a squeeze, it grew into a cold sore. Turns out it was also staff-infected, and I have to miss that on an awesome event.
Starting point is 01:05:18 I've still got some red scar on the end of my nose. Because one of my friends gets her cold sores in the nose only, not on the lip. Oh, okay. You get some there. Yeah, she squeezed her. The nose and the verge of the lips. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Oh, wow. They look so sore. Went staph-o. My mum put hair removal cream on her butt crack on the way out for a date, forgot about it and went out. When she was driving her day, she went away her asses on fire. She chemically burned her. You have to be so careful with that hair removal cream.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Yeah. When I was a teen, I used Pizboan to tan, which was about 25 years ago, an orange base. So I went what was described as tandoori orange. Ridicool at school, came home, took a bath in detol and aggressively scrubbed. Resulted in a red, awfully, awful, itchy rash. And guess what? Still a tandori orange tan. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Oh, no. Yeah. My best friend went viral on TikTok Okay My best friend went viral on TikTok Trying to film and get ready with me I love these videos Oh my God
Starting point is 01:06:19 And accidentally pulling all her eyelashes off With the eyelash curler Worth it though It's launched a semi-success A side hustle for her Oh that's good So the little you know This little stampy ones that people use
Starting point is 01:06:30 I've seen a few of these And then people go like that And the eyelashes just came off Yeah Oh wow that's horrible The Fletchborn and Haley Big Pod Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Starting point is 01:06:44 Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do This week at fact of the day we're looking into the Matilda effect because Tuesday was Aida Lovelace day. The Matilda effect, just to catch you up, is a effect that describes the bias where women's scientific achievements are attributed to their male colleagues. You're a real feminist for campaigning this week. Oh, I hosted an event on Tuesday night with some very inspirational females in the STEM industry and the most confronting moment was when one of them said I was born in 2004.
Starting point is 01:07:25 No, you weren't. And I said, impossible. People were born in 2004 should still be at school. You're a baby. And she's like, no. And I said, what were you doing in 2004? And I said, pretty much what I do now? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:36 And then I went to the toilet for a cry. But anyway, that's by the bye. Today we are learning about Nettie Stevens. Netty. I love that as a name. What is it short for? Nettle. Nettle.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Nettle. Nettie. Nettie. Play some Nettie. Nettie. So Nettie Maria Stevens was a pioneering American biologist who made one of the most fundamental discoveries in genetics. She worked out that an organism's gender or its sex was determined by its chromosomes.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Oh, he bought the name Annette. can be called Nettie. Oh, yeah, that's nice. An Nettie. Yeah. My nana was Lettie. Or Jeanette? What was Lettie short for, Latitia?
Starting point is 01:08:14 Right. Yeah, also Lynette's, Henrietta's and Antoinette's also get called Nettie. I like it. What a fun, that's theme for next week. How some, because you know, I've learned recently how Richards became Dix. Yes. Yeah, that could be. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:29 Or James becomes Jimmy. Jimmy. So she was studying meal worms, Nettie. She was studying meal worms. And she... Sorry, what was she? responsible for? She discovered I'm about to tell you.
Starting point is 01:08:43 Far be it on this week for a man to tell a woman to wait. No, but you said something before and I missed it. Something about... She made one of the most fundamental discoveries in genetics. That an organism's gender was sex, was determined by its chromosomes. Okay. So while studying mealworms, she observed that male mealworms carried both a large and a small chromosome that we now know as X and Y. Oh yeah. So X, Y
Starting point is 01:09:04 male. And then females carried two large ones. X. In 1905, she wrote a meticulous scientific paper that was years beyond, like, where she is and the technology she had, but she worked it all out. She clearly described the chromosonal mechanism of sex determination. Overtuning the popular belief of external factors like, do it on a Monday and you'll have a boy. Or if she's on top, it'll be a girl. Oh, yeah. Put your legs up afterwards and it'll be this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If it was cold outside on the day, it'll be a little boy. Old wives tales. those old wives sales, she said, no, it's all got to do with with the chromosomes that we carry. Thomas Morgan, here he is.
Starting point is 01:09:45 Here he is a male. A more famous male contemporary dismissed her findings as premature. Sadly, at the age of 50 in 1912, Nettie died. Oh, they always died before they get the recognition. Of breast cancer. 1912 at the age 50. So she's the oldest of all the other wonderful scientists, these beautiful minds that we've heard about earlier in the week,
Starting point is 01:10:05 kind of died in their 30s and such. She got to the age of 50 and died in 1912. In 1933, 21 years later, re-enter Thomas Morgan, who wins a Nobel Prize. Prick. For being a prized, idiot. For being a prized son of a gun after he adopted her chromosome theory as his own. Despite saying it's premature and it's not right. So she died without ever knowing that her discovery and her work would be the cornerstone of modern
Starting point is 01:10:36 in biology, underpinning genetic counseling, IVF. Oh, of course. IVS screening and how understanding of inheritance and diseases that you inherit from like what side of the family and if you inherit like a specific disease through the females on your family or the males on your family, all pinned back to her work. Ancestry.com would have blown her mind. Oh, well, she bloody started it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Her and who do we learn about on Monday? Rosalind Franklin, the first one to take the photo of the double helix DNA that had her work stolen by Crickin Watson. Good, it upsets me greatly that these women didn't get to experience the recognition. What? Sorry. That was good, A, it was so good. A, it was well, but B, it was very good.
Starting point is 01:11:22 It was very good. Did you just timing? Shush, shush, shush, shush. Let him finish. Babe. Babes. Shush. Shush, shush.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. The Z&M Podcast Network Play ZDM's Fletch, Wornin and Haley.
Starting point is 01:12:15 I've got a skill that I sort of forgot that I had, and I'm actually really good about that. I was really surprised in the group chat last night. I was doing bloody chat with myself. It was a good effort. Yeah. So I've got a photo shoot happening at my house because I've finally got curtains
Starting point is 01:12:33 after owning the house for four years. And I've been working with this company Martha's and they've done a great job with these curtains. They're coming over to take some photos. And the house just isn't like done, you know, and it was a bit lame and the couch is so plain and boring. And I was like, man, I really need some like cool cushions, you know, to kind of funk it up a bit.
Starting point is 01:12:55 And so yesterday I quickly hit Newmarket and I was having a little shop around. And charging what for a designer cushion? One I really liked, I was like, that's going to look perfect. $290. What, for a cushion? For a cuisian. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:13:10 Now, I do have nice taste. Yeah, oh, okay, so. I've got, I'm a bit lux, you know what I'm in a man. How much for a cushion? I'm going to blacked out. $290. $290. But you didn't buy that because it's no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:13:23 No, even I have a bloody line that comes to that. Because when you think about it, it's so cheap to make, right? It's a square. It's a stuff, it's fluff. Yeah, it's fluff inside. It's nice. I'm happy to pay, you know, good money for the feather in his bit. Then what, where's the rest of it?
Starting point is 01:13:37 I could just start collecting my chicken's feathers at the drop. Yes, great idea. Great idea. We'll go to the park and just abduct some ducks. Oh my God, yes, and then just put them in more. If you go to that effort, abduct some geese, get them goose feet. 50% duck, 50% go. There's all these Canadian geese and they're a pain in their ass.
Starting point is 01:13:53 They're a pest, actually. I think we should be shooting them. But they're good for jackets, aren't they? Great for a warm jacket. Good for a puffer. Maybe I'll lure some into a trap. Perfect. Pluck them.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Well, then you might want to come in on my business. Well, I'll come back to this. I don't know. I feel bad about releasing naked geese. I don't. They'll feel shame. They'll feel embarrassed. Like, did you imagine you're just walking around.
Starting point is 01:14:13 And walk around behind them with a bell. Yeah. Shame, shame, shame. Don't look at me, please. So I was thinking about this and I was like, oh, and this shoots up like it's today. Yeah. And I just, I was not winning. And then I remembered, in my garage, I have all of these old pillows, like feathery pillows.
Starting point is 01:14:32 that are just like lumpy now. Yeah. All different shapes, some old thin cushion things. And I was like, man, I could just kind of reshape those and make an inner. Maybe I'll try and make some cushions. And I remembered I got my sewing machine fixed. I got my sewing machine for my 17th birthday. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:48 So she's an old gal. That's cool. Yeah. And I got it fixed not long ago. So machine's certainly one of those things that last forever, though, if you look after them. When I took it to this place to get fixed, the first time it's ever been fixed since my 17th birthday, the guy was like, no, she's perfect. It's all good.
Starting point is 01:15:02 just fix the foot and there you go. So I remembered that I had a sewing machine and so I went back to Martha's, which is this fabric shop. And I was like, well, maybe I'll just have a little look for some fabrics. And I looked around the shop and I found some like, cool, I've one embroidered, I got a velvet,
Starting point is 01:15:18 I got a kind of a bouclee fabric. The team was like, what are doing? It's pronounced buckle. It's not a fabric. No, no, no, bouclee. You know, it's not like soft lumpies. Don't come here using you please. Oh, every woman listening I think knows what a bloody boo clay is.
Starting point is 01:15:32 Can you just use words that... It's that texture. You know, chairs are all made of bouclean these days. I've never heard of boo clay in my life. Well, I'm not making it up. You've been to a boo clay party, haven't you? That's boo clay. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:15:46 I've never... Will you make pillows out of the fabric? I did go to a bouquet party, and I was surprised because I was not what I was anticipating. At all. I was like, where's the cushions? It's like, you would say it's a mottled fabric. A lumpy fabric.
Starting point is 01:16:00 How do I spell it? B-O-U-C-L-E with her accent Buclay Okay, Bucle-L-A I did you say Mrs. B-K-K-Dy I did see Mrs. B-K-K-Dy. It's B-K-K-Darly. She was so funny.
Starting point is 01:16:13 That was a very funny show. Okay, can I move on from Bucle? Yep. So I got these fabrics and then I thought, do you know what we'll make these not look amateur if I got like a trim? And I was like, how would I sew in the trim?
Starting point is 01:16:25 I don't know. I had to look through Martha's Trims and I was like, I'm going to get some damn trim. So I left. this place with four different fabrics and two different trims and no plan. And I go home and I set up my sewing machine and suddenly it's like, whew, like this like a rat under the hat almost takes over and I remember how to thread down up, hook, down through, fish for the bobbin. And then I was like, you fish for the bobbin. That's my favourite part is when you fish for the bobbin. But then I
Starting point is 01:16:51 realise my bobbin is not right. So then I'm like, I know how to make a bobbin and I get the cotton and I put it on the thing and switch it. Br, right. That's my favourite part in sewing. making myself a bobbin, put it back in, go fishing, and then I sort of just start cutting squares and figuring it all out. I make this cushion that is legitimately so good. I was so good. And this is all...
Starting point is 01:17:11 Look at that. With a fringe, embroidered, it's all stitched nicely. I stuffed just an old pillow in there. I love it. It looks so good. You'd never know. It looks like you'd spend $290 on that. I know.
Starting point is 01:17:22 And then I was like, oh my God, I could start doing this for gifts. You'd imagine at Christmas time. And I think, okay, what is flea? Letcher's apartment need a drop of color. You know, and so I would go, it's gray, black and white, and that is not my jam. It suits my cat. Maybe he needs a lime frilly cushion.
Starting point is 01:17:41 And so I'm giving away my tricks here, but I might be doing cushions for Christmas. I think I'm all right for Christmas, are you, warning you? Because I'm on a bougear, and you can go to fabric stores. This is the best bit if you're making cushions. Get the scraps. You've always got the bundled up scraps for cheapest chips because it's not enough. I'm impressed considering the last time you would have done sewing was what at Intermedia or High I've done some, like, crap stuff over the years
Starting point is 01:18:02 and the machine was broken. But this, honestly, if you saw that in a design store, I would happily charge. $10. No, I'll charge $100 for that. Wow. I would charge $100. Designer fabrics and a trim and my mahi.
Starting point is 01:18:18 $100 would be mates rates. Jeez. But you guys are getting one each for free. Okay. Anyway, so the business idea. Can I have Garfield on mine? The business, I'll get you some Garfield fabric. The business idea is I'm going to.
Starting point is 01:18:29 I'm going to make, I'll get, Etsy store, I'm making the cushions. Fletch your, I'm not sure of your use. Often I'm unsure what to do with you. Vaughan, you are going to catch the geese. Sourcing the geese feathers. Our New Zealand made geese in us. It's a sustainable thing because the geese are an invasive pest. Yeah, and they're awful.
Starting point is 01:18:53 They're awful. I can just put the whole goose in there. You can put the whole goose in. Well, that's more puff. Yeah, more puff. There's way more of a film. Really, we're going to get a stink. And you're going to go to lie down on the couch
Starting point is 01:19:02 and a sharp bit of the foot's going to hit you in the... No, we'll get rid of the... Lips. The limbs. Yep, okay. And the beak. Real goose stuffed. Real goose-stuffed. Yeah. New Zealand made cushions.
