This is...
Flashwoman in Haley's Big Pod
Thanks to animates, making happy happen
for pets. Good morning. It's like
Have you guys ever watched that Netflix show Lupin?
Oh, I remember it.
And it was all about the heists
in Paris? Yeah. It's a great show.
Wait, was it based on fact or...
No, it's based on, like, some books.
It's live by the ventures of Arsene Lupin,
Gentleman Thief
He sets out to avenge his father
For an injustice inflicted by a wealthy family
And I think there was even a heist
Because there's been a few seasons now
There was even a he poised at the Louvre
That he pulled off
Really?
Yeah
So it's like insane
I also when they said
Took off on scooters
I imagine lime scooters
Not Vespers
No but it will be Vespers
It will be Vespers
It's France
But it's
Funnier if you imagine them on a lime scooter
quickly like scanning in.
And then putting it in the basket on the back of the Lime scooter
and then getting off at the other end,
taking a photo of their scooter,
forgetting to get their stolen goods out and walking away from it.
Shit, it's in the back.
Happens to us all.
$10 suburb returns this morning today on the show,
doesn't it? After 8 o'clock, it turns to play.
Now, it was payday on Friday.
Am I going to have to sponsor this again?
No, no, no, no. We should be right.
We should be right.
If all your pay is gone in two days, I'm worried.
The top six is coming up.
With birth rates dropping and the average amount of children, people having sort of sitting at two,
it's RIP to the middle child.
Oh.
You only get the oldest or the youngest.
And you are a middle child.
I am a middle child.
An attention-seeking middle child.
The top six signs the middle child is becoming extinct.
Oh, no.
Next on the show, though.
There is a shoe company that actually I love.
I love these shoes.
But they're being sued for a very funny reason.
The ZM Podcast Network
Play ZM's Fletch, Born and Haley
Jim's shoe of choice
The on running sneakers, cloud tech
I don't know what it made
I always thought that was a C
A C, or a Q, the logo
Or a QN
Cloud Tech
Cloud Tech on
I've never even seen it or nor heard of this brand of shoe
Oh, they're amazing, I love them
I've had a couple of pairs
Hashtag influenced me
They're incredible
They're so comfy
Good gym shoe
Yeah really good gym shoe
And good for running
That's what they're for
Okay maybe I'll look into it
Because I've you know
The whole
Hold off
It's going getting worse and worse
You've got holes in your running shoes
Yeah
We're my big toe
Oh pushers in the top
Yeah
You should get some of these
No I reckon I've had these for two years
And I smash them
Like that's like the only gym show I wear
Basically
Well customers
Before we go and buy another pair
Because I have actually jumped
On some online shopping as well
customers are actually filing a class action lawsuit against on the shoe brand
due to the fact that some of their sneakers are causing little embarrassing squeaks
that sound like that's little sort of squeaky squeaks
and I've had enough of it so I think it's not all of them but it is the hallmark cloud tech
now that's what I've got yeah yeah yeah that is making a
it's got different shaped holes in them.
My only quorum with that is that I've got a gross gravel driveway
and the massive stones get wedged in the like big holy gap
and then I'll feel them and then they scratch my wooden floor.
But that's on me for wearing my shoes inside.
Bad Māori.
Yeah, shoes off, yeah.
Nauty.
Bad Māori.
Yeah, and apparently some of that, it's like squishing out
and making these embarrassing squeaky noises.
And they're of course he's sewing because it's America.
Yeah, so they say it's, um, they say it's,
seemingly inconsequential, the company has refused to give money back to the customers.
But customers are saying that this is no relief because the shoes are not cheap, about $200 a pair.
And they're saying they can't wear them anymore.
They're, you know, useless to them because it's too embarrassing and that they need to be doing DIY modifications to the shoe, like perforating them so that more air comes out and less like of a tight squeak.
is this if you're if you're heavier
I'm not sure so it's a it's a very popular choice of shoe for nurses
wild question to ask a woman on a Monday morning by the way
I was up on the intonation if he was saying that I'm in the heavier group
well Haley didn't say his squeak did you don't
yeah because I'm like as a feather just get jammed up the stones
you know America just jammed up with stones
so yeah these DIY remedies
a lot of people rubbing coconut oil on them or sprinkling baby powder
inside of the sneaker.
They're saying sometimes, like, little things
like air bubbles can happen from normal
wear and tear, but it's not a product
defect. They're basically saying no.
Have you seen just on that
wearing the shoes, have you heard of Disney rash?
Disney rash.
It was the thing people were like, I went to Disneyland and I got this
rash. It's from making out
with the big felt heads.
On the legs and stuff. And it turns out
it's not a Disney rash at all. It's just
people who never walk, had to walk for the whole day.
It's called chafing.
And they're, no, because it was just on, like, the skin,
and it's just like, doctors are just like,
no, this is just a sign that you certainly need to be walking more.
Wow, Disney rash.
Yeah, because larger people go to Disneyland and walk all day
and it's literally more exercise than they've done.
It's huge.
And their body reacts to it.
Disneyland is ginormous.
It's a 30,000 step day if you do it right.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
So people go and they've never walked.
Yeah, and they've just never walked me.
And they're getting these rashes and they're like, help me.
Disneyland gave me this rash, and doctors are like,
no, I just, when you talked about the shoes, it reminded me
because somebody in it was like, maybe I got it off
these new shoes.
Oh.
And the video I watched.
And very soon we'll be converting.
We're Birkenstocks.
There's the famous Burke Fart.
My mum was new to Birkenstocks as well, and she was like,
what is this noise every now?
And then, you know, when your foot has moulded to it
and you slide it on a hot, sweaty day.
Yeah.
It was like, furt.
Burt Fart.
You just accepted as part of wearing shoes.
The Z&N Podcast Network.
What's calling me?
on zm's fledge vaughan and haley producer shannon you would have loved me over this weekend i showed three
more cushions oh lovely one with can you turn your vibrator off on it's really loud
very inappropriate for the workplace yeah sorry i can't help it's power in that thing a diesel engine
she's got a backup generator no i had a generator going out i had such a good craftnoon yesterday
making more cushions craftynoon yeah lovely craftynoe and i thought of you because i was like i'm just
I'm in my crafty or I'm trying to get a sock.
Did you saw me in my sewing box?
Oh my God.
So, no.
Side note.
Vaughn went away, passing some great op shops.
Morinsville's got this awesome little junk shop.
Yeah.
And I went and saw my folks at the weekend.
And we decided that I need a sewing box.
Yeah.
And then you were like, you've got to get an old biscuit tin.
That's the way to go.
Yeah.
And then you saw one.
And I said, how about this?
But you know, you don't buy things for Haley, right, Fletch, decorative things?
No, no, no.
No, no.
You'll get it wrong.
Yeah.
You will.
You'll get it wrong.
And so I took a photo of a aforementioned biscuit tin with a bird on the front.
I said, is this what you're after?
No reply.
I was previously occupied.
Left shop.
Left shop.
It looked good.
I thought it was good.
It was nice.
I could get Christine to get it on the way through.
She's never been to that shop.
Unbelievable.
But then yesterday I went to the Hamilton East has these markets on every other Sunday or something.
Oh, lovely.
And there was like biscuit tins galore.
But this woman knew she was on to something.
She was charging $22 for a biscuit.
No, no, no.
I want $7.
It was $8.
The original one was $8.00.
Anyway, I'm in my craft era as well,
and I just feel very inspired by Shannon
because we know that you're good at sewing,
you're good at knitting, you're good at your crochet.
Thank you. Well, I actually was crafting
over the weekend, and I thought of you.
Oh, my gosh. So I've got a question
for you.
What are we obsessed with each other? Yeah.
I was thinking about you, but...
Should have message. We should have.
What are you doing?
Get a room. Turn off your vibrator and
concentrate on work. The vibrator is
really distracting.
Famously. Famously, so they're
I started a new project over the weekend
and I'm very excited about it
and I'm going to send it to you in the chat now
because I am now worried that
Haley is going to hate this
it is a butterfly
No it's not an EMOTEH
It's a butterfly cardigan
How do we feel about this?
What colours are you doing it in? Because it would look way better
in monarch butterfly colours
So I went to get monarch colours
It was a whole thing
And there was no good oranges
So it's going to be a bluey purpley
With black and white
This is pretty cool
So it's like a cape that looks like wings,
but the wing, you've got little sleeves.
How do we feel about it?
I like it.
I like it.
I was so worried I was going to wear it
and you'd be like devil
and then I wouldn't be allowed to wear it to work.
If you went brown, sorry.
If you went brown and dusty.
But my other issue is,
so this is a new crochet technique
and don't worry, I'm not going to nerd out on you like Vaughn.
But basically you have to count.
You have to count every single row
and it's a lot of thinking.
It's called tapestry.
crochet. And basically, as I'm
doing it, every single row I found myself
going, 6, 7.
And I'm like, 3. 1 has ruined my life.
Every row, 6. 7.
Somebody sent me a number plate.
You can actually get the number plate.
6.7.
Just 6.7.
Wow.
6. The numeral and then 7 written out.
6.7.
Yeah, but that's a passing craze.
What's that?
Do you think they purchased this?
Like recently?
No, no, no. Somebody sent it to me saying this is available.
you get it and I was just like oh my I'm
surprised someone has on it. I don't have a thousand dollars
for a flash in the past. No.
Also like this will be the most irrelevant
Yeah.
She's next minute over here.
Excuse me.
This is a, that is a timeless classic and I won't hear a bad word about it.
I will, I'll give a shout out for the latest episode of South Park
because I'm all, I didn't watch South Park for what, like 15 years.
And then all of a sudden it's back and it's funnier.
It's funnier than ever.
Yeah.
And their whole latest episode is about success.
Is it?
Yeah.
Can I also have a shout-out?
You gave me one on Friday and it felt good.
Oh, yes, Shannon.
What did you say, Shannon in the workshop?
We just want to give a shout-out.
You look on the radio, Shannon-likeout.
I want a shout-outs.
You're literally on the air right now.
Shout-out to me.
Shout-out to me.
Shout-out to me.
Shout-out to me.
Yes.
Have a great day.
The Fletchhorn and Haley Big Pod.
From the Fletchborn and Haley group chat, this is the top six.
Well, well, well, well, well, well,
Well, well, wow, wow, well, well.
The birth rate required to sustain a population is 2.1 per woman, basically, birth giver.
So we can look after the oldies when they get old?
Yeah.
Now, yeah, I know.
Someone's going to say, you're doing none.
So we're going to find someone doing 4.2.
Yeah, but there's plenty of those.
So the average birth rate in New Zealand is 1.57 births per woman,
which is below the replacement rate of year, 2.5.2.
point one. Some regions
have a higher birth rate than that
in New Zealand, but the average
we're not doing enough. And a lot of news
at the moment about it's going to be
a problem in the future
years when it comes to supporting
the population. Right.
And that means people aren't having three
or four kids. They're having one or two.
One or two. And the death
of the middle child is imminent. Yeah,
for sure. Because, yeah, you
need three. Or five.
What was that middle child like, right in smack damn, bam,
ordered all three in the middle counters the middle children
and in a situation of five.
Yeah, they just became self-sufficient.
Yeah.
Their own little ecosystem.
Yeah.
Well, I got the top six signs the middle child is becoming extinct.
Okay, for today's top six.
Due to falling birth rates.
Number six on the list, just not as many little dancers
happening in the lounge in front of the TV when the ads are on.
Yeah, with the tape deck out.
Yeah.
Watch this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've got four minutes.
Yeah, yeah.
You guys ready?
I'm going to walk in.
Is everybody watching or should do I need to start again?
God, how much of being a parent is pretending to care, right?
All of it.
Mum, mum, you're not watching.
Mum.
Mom.
Oh, me.
When I was doing my little dancers, I didn't even have to compete with smartphones.
Imagine that.
Yeah, I know.
Being a middle child and your parents looking a glance at their smartphone
when you're doing your little dance.
Number five on the list of the top six signs
the middle child is becoming extinct.
Just not as many people using whiteboard dusters to make fake bruises
it for attention.
Whiteboard just to make fake bruises.
So the whiteboard dusters,
because it was all dark on there,
you could like brush on a bruise.
Oh, and it was that...
Oh, we've got a rag out there.
It was that purpley, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you do it at school on your elbow,
whatever, and you come over at.
I'm like, oh, mom.
Me, me, me, pay me over at school.
And it was such a brave boy, though, ma'am.
I hardly cried at all.
And you never cry, ma'am.
Man.
Number four on the last of the top six signs,
the middle child is becoming extinct.
Just not as many people writing themselves
Valentine's Day cards with their left hand
to make it look like it was from somebody else.
Aw.
Look, ma'am, I'm going to go for you, me.
You're somebody who's been really peppery or excuse me?
Ma'am, how could have you secreted Mary?
Mary?
Mary.
Your left hand, Vaughn.
Hey, maybe it is, ma'am.
But maybe it is from
Princess
Jennifer.
Jennifer Seque.
Jennifer Sequeque.
Number three on the list of the top sex signs,
the middle child has become extinct.
Hardly anybody putting on funny voices at the supermarket
and pretending their family's not their family.
It's so sad.
Walking the other way with my own little trolley.
Yes.
Well, good day to you.
Yes.
I see you're buying food for your family.
Vaughn, put the trolley back.
You don't need that trolley.
Who's this Vaughn, now?
It's me.
The father of Jennifer Sequehre.
Jenny Fair Secre.
I am the fair there.
Born, put the trolley back.
You've got a whole lot of stuff in there
and I'm not buying it.
Oh, burn myself for I'm a growing man.
He is the middle child.
It's really showing.
It's not too many people pretending to choke at the dinner table
when their siblings going on about their accomplishments.
Oh, yeah.
My moment now.
Yeah.
Oh my God, oh my God, I think I'm joking.
Oh my God, that was so scary.
You know I love you all.
I was so scary out that I was going to die.
Enough.
Philip.
No, shush.
No one cares about your science mark.
I nearly died.
I nearly died.
And number one on the list of the top six signs of the middle child has become extinct.
Who's printing out their own certificates at school?
Oh, hon.
To bring home and get praise for.
Oh, imagine that.
Imagine that.
No, for sure.
No, for sure.
Yeah, for sure.
You know, for writing.
Hey, this, I guess, like, I don't even know, like.
For writing?
God.
did he say this certificate I got for writing
I guess he just like wrote an essay about the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire
it was like she said it was like super advanced
It says that it's for writing
It says this certificate is born for writing
Yeah
I've been doing some writing over here
Right once everybody else been doing
R-I-G-T-I-N-J
Yeah
And you know what that just earned me another one
Probably tomorrow I'm going to bring home a certificate for spelling
Yeah
Probably I don't know maybe
You know there's certificates they're just nothing to me
Just don't even worry about it
That is today's top six
The ZM Podcast Network
Play ZDM's Fleshhorn and Haley
Well this is an absolute
Haley Sproul move
There's a gentleman who lives in
Conchi Village in Gaya
Okay
Mohan Lala's his name
He's 73 is a retired Air Force veteran
Thank you for your service
Yeah thank you
Thank you
Just on behalf of India
Yep
Thanks
and I speak freely
the people of India
74 years old
and he wanted to see
how much people truly cared about him
and it's hard you can't just ask people
can't just be like you know how much do you care
how much would you miss me say
if I were to die
how sad would you be questions I myself often ask
because I at my funeral
you want a living funeral
I don't want a living funeral
but I just want to just know that
people will be devastated.
I kind of do like the living funeral.
When someone knows they're going to die
and they've got six months or whatever.
Yes.
I kind of like that because then they get to hear all the nice things.
For sure, but I do want to say that Mohanl is of perfect health.
Okay.
Yeah, so he wasn't having a living funeral.
What he did was he faked his own death and staged a funeral.
Full traditional Indian funeral too.
Like he's sheathed in the white sheet.
He's got the bright orange flowers on him.
Yeah.
A whole thing because he wanted to see who truly cared.
about him.
The things that they would say and who would turn up.
Was it open casket, or did he sneak in the back?
Open casket.
Look at this.
So they do, because it's not casket, but they, where's the photo?
You know, they sort of lie on a bed shrouded in this.
He just closed his eyes.
He just had a little nunnies.
Had a little nunnies.
And then does listening.
Florals and everything.
All the night.
What if someone had said something that wasn't so nice or not enough?
What he did was he got his neighbours to help him.
Okay.
He was like, oh, I don't know.
Got them to stage a full traditional funeral.
And invited the whole neighbourhood.
Everyone basically just said, like,
let everyone know that I have died.
And this is the date of the funeral.
He lay wrapped in a white shroud,
pretending to be dead.
Hundreds attended with various degrees of emotion.
Some howling with sadness.
Oh, God, okay.
Howling?
Would you feel bad at that point
when you can hear people,
that are your friends and family howling?
Oh, one heart.
Yeah, well, you're like, oh, I'll have to describe it as howling.
Yeah, I've traumated them a bit.
I may have gone a bit far ahead.
Completely unsuspecting.
And he got to listen to the sadness of the people.
It made him feel really good.
And then just before the final cremation rights were read,
he sat up before everyone, shocking the crowd.
Yeah.
And then he did this whole thing about, like,
Don't wait till we're dead to let people
know how great they are, which is a sentiment
I stand by for sure. Yeah, yeah.
But it's probably like
a little bit dramatic.
By the way, I would like to also
note that he has two sons and a daughter who
were also none the wiser.
What? He didn't tell them?
It was only his neighbours who knew.
They'd probably already spent like the house
they were like, okay, we could pretty sell the house.
Yeah, I wonder how far down the road they went.
Oh my god, hell yeah, my mortgage was huge.
So it became the talk of the village, obviously,
and has gone very viral on social media across India.
Yeah, I don't think he's getting that second funeral won't be as nice,
so people will be a bit dubious.
I'd be getting out there, he'll die, right?
Because he's 74, like it's not like he's got like the rest,
you know, the bulk of his life ahead of him.
And I get there, I'd be like, yeah, come on.
You do it.
Come on, Mohan, give him a slap across the face.
Yeah, exactly.
You'd give it a poke next time to make sure he's actually dead.
Yeah, come on, mate.
I'm not buying this shit again.
The ZDM Podcast Network
I'm sorry, I've just learned the devastating news that my co-lid little pole, silly little pose.
Yeah, I'm sorry to have broken that to you.
I've been left rattled.
You're going to have to find a new cobbler.
I'm down a cobbler.
Well, today's silly little polo, thanks to Mick Cafe.
Keep the show on the road, drive-thru, Mick Cafe Coffee for your morning fix.
Do you and your partner share a hobby?
I just read an article about the benefits of, one, having hobbies.
You've got to have a hobby.
And two, that hobby, not being the same hobby as your partner.
Obviously, you can bond over things, but you've got to have your own...
Time.
Separate avenue as well.
Yeah.
You go, I'm doing my thing and you go do yours.
Some people don't like if their partner goes away and has a hobby and does something,
and they're all alone.
Yeah, well, don't be alone.
You get a hobby.
That's sort of the balance there.
60% of people respond to don't share a hobby with their partner.
40% do share a hobby with their partner.
Isn't that something?
Yeah, interesting.
Okay.
Well, Aisha said, I voted no.
Is parenting a hobby?
It's kind of the only thing we have time for these days.
Not a hobby.
You'll have time to get yourself a little hobby when they're a little bit older.
It doesn't even be a big hobby.
You don't even join the bloody social netball team.
No.
Hobby could be reading.
Or some cross-stitch.
Yes, some cross-stitch.
Or cross-fit.
Or some cross-fit.
Or some cross-fits.
Are we counting the gym as a hobby?
I don't look at a hobby.
I don't look at it as a necessity.
Yeah.
There'd be couples that hiked together.
Look, if I had a naturally thin body, I'm not going to the gym.
I don't even care about the sort of mental health benefits of it all.
Yeah, no, no.
Danny said our shed hobby is winding each other up.
Okay, well, you have fun of that.
Okay, that's going to have.
that could end poorly.
Lauren says we both play the drums.
It's very loud at our house.
Do you have two kits?
Yeah.
And do you have to go different ends of the house?
Poor neighbours.
What if he's in three four time and you're in four time and we're out and we're out?
I don't even know what that means.
I don't even know what that means.
Yeah, yeah, you sort of eventually hit the same point.
Yeah.
Only for a moment.
Do you know, actually, speaking of being in time,
I was listening to a voice note from a friend
and he sent it when he was driving
and he was driving and I was also
driving listening to it. He turned on
the indicator in his car on the voice note
at exactly the same time I turned on the
indicator on my car and our indicators
was synced. You're going to get married
I reckon. It felt really good.
It felt really good.
Rochelle said while other people are watching TV shows
we play board games. We both love them.
Have over a hundred of our own and lots of friends that we
play board games with. I just
could not imagine being with someone in
sitting there playing board games with them.
I know people that just love it.
Too many rules.
Maddie loves it. Maddie and Ryan, they love board games.
Too many rules.
Yeah.
I've got room for one rule, one set of rules in my head.
Yeah.
I can't learn a card game or play a different game unless it's so simple.
It's like I try to do Settlers of Catan and people love that game.
So complicated.
My brain was just like, bf, yeah.
What am I trading?
I don't know.
What about the longest road?
What does this card do now?
Now you've got the card
Because you've got along the road
How much stone?
I couldn't follow that game
And then I watched my daughter
Destroy a couple of people
We've been playing for a long time
At least I had her, I thought
Alexandra said
My husband and kids ride dirt bikes
And I'm the pit mother
I'm happy not riding
I like sorting lunch
Sitting in nature
And watching the kids
Really fills my family card
That's what I was just thinking
Oh my god
Isn't this nature swing
I love that
Oh, listen to the birds.
And then rushing them to A&E when what are their handlebars goes through.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Katie said football.
We both play Twilight and Indoor on the same team and outdoor for different teams at the same club.
Oh, that's cool.
That's cool.
And you keep fit.
Yeah, I love that.
That might be, I think that hit me so romantically.
I think that might be the response that wins the prize that you want to tell everybody about.
The $1.50 dollar Mette Cafe voucher.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That's literally the prize.
Okay, tickled you?
How complicated did you think the prize was?
Sponsored by McCafethe, it's a 50-Lum at Cafe Voucher.
I was, I know I was told.
I was told, but then I started thinking about set-less of guitar again,
and my brain was just like, how many sticks?
Georgia says golf, he's good at it, and I found myself enjoying the driving range,
and now we hit the golf courses together.
It's free lessons for me.
Golf's one of those ones that, like, the lads disappear on me.
I know some lads, and they go play golf.
They've got kids.
Nine holes, just nine holes.
Nine holes, another nine holes.
Nine beers.
Nine beers.
Home at nine o'clock.
Can you come get me?
Leave home at nine.
Get home at nine.
Yeah.
Oh, you're in trouble.
Mason's a year we've stepped a foot into the world that is showing cats.
Oh, cat show.
We have a main coon that we show this year.
And we'll be showing her and another main coon next year.
And I get they brush them.
Yeah.
Yeah, lovely.
Our shared hobby says Tanya is watching Jersey Shore in all of
its evolutions.
Great, well, that's cute.
Nadia, we play poker every
Wednesday. Oh, cool.
Poker, hardly know her. And Greer said,
Oh, four.
Oh, four, please.
This is a couple playing a lovely
just game of cards.
Strip poker, do you think they ever play a little?
Oh, stop making it horny.
I'm just thinking there a couple.
Oh, come on.
And Greer said,
does drinking in moderation count?
No, don't make that your hobby,
hon. No, that's not wrong. It's more of a
passion.
So for silly little poll today
We asked if you and your partner share a hobby
And only 40% of you do
Play Z-Ns, flesh one and Haley
White Lotus
What was that last one, season three?
Was that season three?
Yep, yep
That's a great season
Yeah
What's the Leslie Bibb
Who played one of the gals
She had a bob
Now they called it something
But I can't say it on air
Because it involves the worst swear word
Ever
But it's a something little bob
I think you can say that word
freely now. Who did I see saying it at the weekend?
No.
You cannot.
Not Merrill Street, Glenn Close.
Said it like five times on a red carpet.
The sea word. Did she?
She said she was serving
C and giving C.
Well this is the vibe.
The C.E. Little Bob, right?
Yeah. Was the vibe because you remember
she had this short like just above
the jawline little bob
and everyone was like, ah, this is
the do. Then we were all bobbing.
Because for a while we were lobbing guys. And I don't
remember if you know that we were lobbing.
Well, Vaughn and I have been out of the game.
We haven't been lobbing, bobbing, snobbing, robbing, yeah, anything.
Rats tailing.
Fringe.
We haven't done any of that.
No, you haven't.
We don't have the hair.
Well, there was the lob, the long bob.
That was huge for a while because everyone was like, do you know what?
Long hair is for?
The male gaze.
And we're not feeding that anymore.
And so we just want these cute little lobs.
Boom, more feeding of the male gaze.
Well, babes, we're back.
Yes.
We're ready to absolutely serve up.
You couldn't live without our gaze.
Yeah.
So this is short-lived because that little Bob, Leslie Bibbs' little Bob,
yeah.
Started a whole wave and everyone was going to the hairdressers being like,
I need this bob.
We're cutting it all off.
And almost an act of rebellion, but also it's like cute.
It's short-lived.
Rapunzel Age, apparently we're back.
Right.
Now, I can't do this because I have, I have, like,
I think Vaughn's got more hair in his beard than I do in my head.
Like, I have very, very thin hair.
so when my hair gets long, it sort of looks ratting and yark.
But producers Carwin, Shannon, you guys, you've both got quite long hair,
particularly you, Shannon.
Thank you.
Is that a compliment?
No, very much so.
Are you excited about the return of the Rapunzel age?
Yeah, I definitely am a hair girlie.
I have like, I hate to admit, like a 15-step hair care process.
I spend so much money on hair products.
I don't get it dyed or cut.
I cut it myself and it's natural, but I will spend,
hundreds old hair care products.
Yeah. It is my pride and joy.
Carwin, you're a redhead
not by birth.
Yes. Which is a very high
maintenance colour. It is. And also
people judge me. Why did I choose that colour?
It looks nice. Yeah, it does look nice on you.
But you've got quite long here. Are you excited
about the return of Rapunzel? Because we did, none of us
I sort of lightly bobbed.
I lobbed. Yeah, I haven't
taken the plunge because it's very scary and I
don't. I used to have a bob
back in high school, I tried it for a short moment
and it wasn't a good idea.
I was going to say, is it rude if I say that I think
that you'd look quite silly with a bob?
It wasn't, it was like a little lob, but it wasn't good.
How you know someone's a friend
is when you say, should I cut my hair like this
and they say, God no.
Heaven forbid you don't, that is not for you.
Yeah.
Well, the repunt, you guys, I think you'll thrive
in the Rapunzalera.
Thank you.
Fletchborne, yeah, sorry.
Okay, so now we're just all growing it out.
All growing at it.
And also, it's not just that it's a trend thing.
It's the sake of ease.
If you want to keep a bob,
like the short, short bobs that were popular,
it's constant maintenance.
Yeah.
Because you're constantly going trim.
It's getting too long,
and it's getting to, like, Lord Farquod, sort of...
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
And, like, it gets farquoddy
way too quick.
Whereas if it's long, Rapanza,
you're just letting it flow.
Yeah.
It's just easier.
The Z&M Podcast Network.
Come on, Vorni.
Okay, hold on.
I'm just got to get my...
Got to get in that booth, eh.
We've just really got to...
We've just really keep saying.
Shannon's hat.
Us and on.
If you see a faded sign at the side of the road
That says 15 miles to a Shannon's hack
Shannon's hack baby
And she's in the studio
Watch out your paprika's about to slip off
I've got a prop
She's got props, she's got a bowl in a jar of paprika
If you're new to the show
Producer Shannon famously pitches us hacks
and we rate them out of five stars.
And I'll say generally they're terrible.
They're genuinely low quality.
Until today, because I showed Ross Boss off here,
and he said, and I quote,
that one's actually good.
Oh, wow, okay.
Now, you've got a, what have you got here at some pre-ker?
So I've got a little spice jar,
you know, a classic where you open it
and it's got holes and you've got to get the spice out.
Real good, descripting words.
We're on radio.
Really good.
Just paint a picture.
You know, when you pour out a spice,
that doesn't come out super well
when you're kind of shaking your arm
and especially...
You should use the other one.
No, but if you're sprinkling over a dish
and you're like, oh, look, not much is coming out, right?
That's clumpy.
It's not good.
I'll say it's moist.
Yeah, I've been doing it over steam, you know.
That's where everyone goes wrong.
They straight over the pot and the steam.
Yeah, clumps it arm.
See how slow this is?
I've got a hack for you today.
This can be used on any spice jar.
What I want you to do is twist the actual lid itself
instead of shaking your arm.
Look how much spices are coming out now.
That's brilliant.
Thank you.
It's actually brilliant.
That's crazy.
Wow, that's actually, that's crazy how well that works.
It's so much less work.
It's more even.
Look how even it is in my bowl.
Wow, that's an even ball.
No clumps.
So effectively you're treading the lid of the spice jar like a salt grinder.
Like a grinder.
Yeah, you're grinding it.
How'd you?
And because of the backwards and forth forwards motion,
It's shaking it out.
It's so much less work.
Still, I wouldn't do it over a steamy pot.
No, that's a personal flaw of mine, but that's nothing to do with the hack.
Because I've personally jarred and alphabetized and labeled my spices.
My spice straw is looking sweet.
Yeah, if I was to return to the world of that, that's a game changer.
Well, how do you get your spice out of your jars?
I open the jar and then I get a small teaspoon.
Oh, now we're making mix.
Man, that's posh, isn't it?
Yeah, no, but it's set it.
Aesthetics.
Okay, right, yeah.
So, Shannon, you just wait there.
We'll just have a small hurry.
Yeah, if we could just have, I'll turn her microphone off.
Yeah, yeah.
That doesn't mean she can't hear that just because she can't speak.
Yeah.
She can still hear us.
I know.
Love your rest.
Cover your rest, please.
Mum and Dad are going to swear at each other.
That's pretty effing good, isn't it?
That's pretty bloody good.
I just, I don't want to give her at five because it's a bit much.
Yeah, do you know, it's a simple.
It is not solving it a giant problem in my life.
No, but it is.
It's good.
That's good.
It's flawed.
Four.
Four. Is it like a flawless, forless?
Are we thinking a four?
A four?
I mean, once you go,
I think of a revolution.
When she did a five-star hack
they got her to the theme song,
what was that one?
I don't think it was pads on the feet.
No, I got it.
She's not solving homelessness, is it?
Yeah, but come on.
She's not a city council.
She's not a government.
I think wars continue to rage.
She's a simple East Auckland girl.
It's amazing she's coming with that.
She's from East Auckland.
I know.
Should we say five then?
No.
I'm going to get five.
It's been a while between fives, I feel like.
It's not a fine.
I'm sorry, it's not a five.
When we go, it's a five, and I'll go, it's a five.
And then you'll flet you go, it's a four from that.
That's not a perfect five.
And then she won't get five.
And then boo, you'll get booed.
Do you want to be Simon Cowell?
Have you seen what happened to us?
I don't mind her by Simon Cowell.
Shannon, you're back.
Okay.
Well, Shannon, for Shannon's hack of getting rid of clogged, like your paprika,
this would work on all matter of cinnamon.
Anything, yes.
Just a little twist of the lid on the jar.
Ivorne Smith will give you five stars.
Shannon, for me, I thought long and hard about this.
And I just think I'm so proud of you.
This is really a great hack.
Shannon, it's a five from me.
Oh, my goodness.
Okay, okay.
It's happening, it's happening.
It's happening.
Okay.
For me, Shannon?
Yeah.
It's a four.
Buh!
Simon Cow!
Simon Cow!
Simon Cow!
It's great, but it's not life-changing for me.
Can I have my annual swear word?
No.
It does mean it's about a 4.3...
What, 3? 6.6. 4.6. 6.6. 6. 6.
So that's... Yeah, that's not a 5-star.
But it's so good and just never give up
because that really was something.
Thank you.
I really liked it.
Yeah.
Okay, so we'll do the outro there.
Okay, here we go.
If you see a faded sign at the side of the road,
it says 4.6 for the Shannon's head.
4.6, baby.
The Z&P Podcast Network.
Play ZN's Fletchhorn and Haley.
Paulie goes in studio.
Good morning, Paulie.
Good morning.
Great to see you guys.
You're looking so fresh apart from one of you.
What's my up?
had facial burns.
It's not you.
Oh, it's not me.
Wow, okay.
Well, we know that it's born, isn't it?
Pauli, where I literally just opened up my calendar to go, when are we hitting the road?
Wednesday, 5th of November, we kick off the seven days live tour in Tohanga.
Yeah, like it's only two weeks ago.
I'm starting to actually panic a little bit.
Yeah, me too.
Excitement panic.
Yeah, yeah, it's so much fun.
And going everywhere to like 11 places.
Tohungaung and Napier, Dunedin and Vicargo, Auckland, Rotorua, and Nelson, Wellington, Parmiston,
North Christchurch Hamilton.
I mean, that's a fair spread.
And the fact that that's all one night.
I mean, we should spread it out.
That last gig is going to be so late.
Poor Hamilton, eh, getting to 4 a.
4 a.m. in the morning.
No, it'd be midday, I think, by the time we get to Hamilton.
Yeah.
No, they're different dates.
It's going to be amazing.
So it's you and me.
It's Jeremy Corbett.
I believe he's going to host this year.
Yeah, my God.
I mean, he's quite new to the hosting business.
I really hope he doesn't stuff it up.
He is.
Ben Hurley is bringing the beard factor.
He's got the Vaughan factor.
He's got a beard coming in.
Vaughan's got a nice bit of strawberry blonde in there.
Ben's more...
Call it what it is.
It's a gym.
Strawberry blonde.
Yeah.
Also the fact that it's solidly on one side is weird.
I think that's the sun kiss aside.
That's your driving side.
Yeah, just getting burned.
Up and coming.
Di Hingwood.
Yes, he'll go a long way.
He's going to be there.
And yourself, Justine Smith, is there to get angry.
and hit everybody and who am I missing out
Josh Thompson
Oh yeah he's all right as well
Shambles
Great lineup wonderful
I know everyone always sort of wants to know
like what's it like on tour as a group
and it is chaos
I think there's a lot of hollering from
the women about the temperature in the van
I run hot and let's just say
she's menopausal so that's
that happens
There's a lot of Josh Thompson always running late
We're all sitting in the van
Oh absolutely
Absolutely
Die is the way
I will say that's poor
and I say this with such love and respect to you
Yeah of course
We prefer it when Di drive
Because he's a bit more reckless
Oh okay
He was a very concerned
A very safe driver
That's what you want
Oh sorry
Sorry that I want to get to every gig alive
A van too
You don't want recklessness in a van
No
They're so slow to respond
Much like me to be honest
Yeah
Dye is quite heavy footed
And it does mean for a more
adventurous drive, but
we get there quicker.
Yeah, sure, absolutely. It's a
miracle that he's heavy-footed when his legs
are so short. How does he actually
do it? Maybe he's using a stick.
Yeah, when you guys interchanged the driving, he has to get those
little extension things put on.
Describe the show, if people haven't
been to seven days live, which is
how many years has it been going?
I want to say the live show
probably about 12, maybe
11 or 12. Wow. That's crazy.
Yes. And you've done every single one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was so young.
Maybe the last two or three.
Came straight out of drama school into the van.
Yeah, exactly.
No, the first encounter I had was when I saw you on the side of the road.
Oh, that's right.
You were going on holiday and we were having to work.
Yeah, and I said to myself, one day.
One day you'll get on there and now you are and it's awesome.
And you're a highlight of the show.
Thanks.
This one too, within reason.
Describe the show for those that haven't been.
Essentially, we started doing it because we thought it'd be quite cool to be able to
have kind of a looser version of the game show on stage
where we're not sort of limited so much by cameras and stuff like that.
Broadcasting standards.
Yeah, sort of say what you want to us, to a certain extent.
So it's a looser version of that,
but before that, the first half is everybody doing stand-up.
Because we all kind of come from a stand-up live performance background.
So we all do seven minutes of stand-up each.
It's like a little mini comedy gala.
Yeah.
But you're seven of us bang.
So that's done in an hour, and then we bring out the desks onto the stage,
and we do a seven-day show.
for that town and sort of cater it to that town
a little bit if we can. Yeah, so
it's awesome. So if you're a fan of
the show but you hate stand-up, wait till the second half.
If you love stand-up but hate
seven days, buy a ticket anyway, see the
stand-up, then piss off. Do you have a favourite
place? Because 11 cities
and there's some that
come with like an expectation.
In Christchurch, a lot of us
will be, uh, juzzi will cry
because the venue's so beautiful. Yes, yes, yes.
And in Vicar, there's likely to be a brawl.
Yeah, absolutely. I think the
first year that we played Invercargle
in the same show,
somebody threw up down someone's
the back of someone's shirt, they turned around,
punched them in the head, and then there was a second
fight. This is while the show was
happening. And we're like, the audience
seemed distracted in some way, and
what's that smell? So Invercargles
set the bar like really high.
That's like Invercargle. Yeah, I think
I've only done, yeah, less than
half of the years of it and I've seen two
brawls in my time. Yeah, it's full on.
It's full on. I mean, each show
is great and every time we do one we go
oh that's been the best show so far
or that's been the best show so far
I think Napier's been pretty brilliant the last few years
yeah been consistently good at the Memorial Hall
but look they're all fantastic Hamilton always brings a noise
Auckland's selling great at the moment
which is very non-Auckland of them
yeah we might go
I don't know
yeah we might too know 7 days.como nz
is the easiest link because it's just got all the dates
and someone paid for that domain it might as well get a bit of use
Yeah, well, Seven Days isn't on air
at the moment, the actual TV show,
so otherwise it'd be sitting dormant.
No, I'm pretty sure Di organized that.
Tai?
I'm pretty sure he bought it.
I think he bought it.
I think you're right.
I seem to remember him buying it
and being quite surprised
that it hadn't already been taken by seven days.
And I'm like,
yeah, it isn't for anything other than seven days live.
I'm like, I love that show, but I'm not surprised.
Seven Days, Docto, N, Z, toning a napier to need in Invercargo,
Auckland, Rotorua, Nelson, Wellington, Palmerston North,
Christchurch Hamilton, kicking off in just over two weeks.
Get your tickets. Get your tickets.
Can't wait. Thanks guys.
Thank you so much.
Can we get so...
You wanted some pack and save deals while he was here.
Can we get any?
Yeah, absolutely.
Great.
A deal on hair.
Play Z-N's Flesh, Vaughan and Haley.
Well, Vaughn walked into studio at the end of last week
and said, I've got a little surprise for you.
Yeah.
And you dumped a big box on the desk.
And we got very giddy.
I said, you guys open your present.
Yeah, and we did a little bit brothers and sisters, opening present, she had present.
And it was a ninja slushie, which we've talked about for a bit.
Yeah, from briskos.
Yeah.
Sent and gifted by Ali, a friend of the show.
Yes.
Who we just happened to go to the rugby with.
Yes.
Bad news, Brad invited some people, some close friends.
Haley was invited.
And Ali was there, and we got talking about the ninja slushy machine.
And she told me some astronomical.
facts about how many sold
Yeah, the sales were insane
The online sales were insane
And she said the online
For briskos is still small
In comparison to the big online
In store, yeah yeah
Offline
So we were talking about it
She said oh well
I'll try to organise sending you one
And then she did
And then at the weekend
I was not there
But you two said you were gonna
We've got shared custody
Of the Ninja Slushy by the way
Yeah yeah yeah we do
I think it lives at Hayley's house now
Well it's
Basically, it was a comedy of errors to begin with
because I was sort of setting up for the partay,
getting a few things together.
You guys were arriving at 2 o'clock arrival.
Like it was just perfect.
Sunny afternoon, very lucky.
And my dream was for the gaggle members invited to arrive
and we would have frozen margaritas upon arrival.
That was my vision because the core driver behind having this social event
was the slushy machine.
Like that's why I threw this little shindick.
We were like, let's just test it out.
Come over to mine.
Have some slushies that you can go home.
So everyone arrives and I was like, Spanner in the works.
Fletch was driving my car because I had some drinks on Friday.
And I was like, well, you pick up my car and Saturday drive it out.
Perfect plan.
Gets Fletch.
Problem solved.
Fletch gets to mine.
I don't drive on Friday.
And good for me to drive and just refresh, you know, my license.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just remind everybody.
Just remind yourself how it goes.
Yeah, remind everybody that I do have a license.
I can drive.
Yeah.
In a borrowed car.
Because when I did pick up Maddie, he's like,
we'd, I've never seen you drive.
I was like, well, I can drive.
He can do it.
Yeah.
And then the problem with that was that it was in the boot.
The slushy machine was in the boot.
Yeah, so.
So there was no pre-Margarita.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, so it wasn't churning away, freezing, ready to go.
And we were told 45 minutes to 60 for a slushy.
And I was like, that's fine.
On arrival.
By the way, this.
This is why friend groups have all started buying one each.
Yeah, so you can...
So that you just have them...
Stack them up.
You bring them up and then they're all stacked on the...
At different stages.
Yeah, yeah.
So that wasn't going to happen.
That was fine, right?
And I'd bought...
We'd bought you.
You'd procured some tequila.
I'd got all the mixes ready.
Like, everything was ready to go except for the machine arriving.
Machine arrives with you and I had other drinks planned.
So I was like, that's fine.
No one's going to go drinkless.
Made some non-frozen drinks.
Yeah.
with ice cubes, like a peasant, blah, blah, blah.
And then I start to make the slushy thing,
and I sort of chuck in the mix,
and I heap in the tequila, and we get it going.
I will say at this point, Vaughn,
there wasn't much reading of the manual.
How hard can it be?
I'll just say she didn't read the manual.
How hard can it be?
It's a freezing device.
Okay?
And she wouldn't let me take the stickers off of it?
No, no, because I needed to know which when I wanted to wear.
Oh, okay, yeah, okay.
It was obvious, but she wouldn't let me peel the stickers off.
So he's upset with me already.
Then it starts churning and we're all excited, music.
We had, you know, corn chips.
The whole thing was sort of frozen margarine themed.
And then we're back into the kitchen at the 45 minute mark.
And I tell you what, it almost felt more liquid than before.
Right there before it had been.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
So I was sort of one-way-one pulling people in being like...
And then I said, why don't we chuck some ice cubes in?
And that's when Haley said one of the stickers says no...
No solids.
No solids.
That's its whole thing.
It's got an augur in it, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No ice cubes.
It's like a concrete truck.
Yeah, pretty much it is.
And then we were like, maybe she's just getting going, you know?
So we went back out and I was like, why don't I open a bottle of champagne?
So we had a little glass of champagne instead of we waited.
We're like, here we go, here we go.
We went back in.
Again, it's like it was warmer, right?
Where's the manual now?
On the bench.
Okay, and that still isn't getting read at this?
No, Fletch Hayman to start aggressively reading it.
Are we an hour and a half in?
At this stage, you or Haley has also skipped over the point where she reset it.
Oh, Haley.
Yeah, I did go in and I said, it's turned itself off,
which is there something that it does to temperature regulate.
So it's not churning all the time.
It will turn stop, doll, and then turn.
Because if it's turning the whole time, it won't let it turn to ice.
And then so because Haley had seen that it had stopped churning,
she turned it off and on.
Yeah, back on.
And that's when Mike started reading the manual and was like, no, you're silly.
You're silly.
It got a bit hated.
It got a bit hated.
Unlike the drink.
Sort of fight.
I like the drink.
Mike was yelling at Haley because she'd reset the machine.
Yeah, yeah.
He said, why have you done this?
Also, we realized that it's like a mini fridge.
Yeah.
And because it had been on its side in the boot.
For two days.
For two days.
You need to set it upright for at least two hours.
That's what you do when you move your fridge.
You're supposed to leave it before you plug it in.
Which I had no idea was a thing about fridges and gas and coolant and whatever that magic.
And I would say out of the party of seven, I think the five of us at one point we're on Google trying to get to the bottom of it.
And what we figured out was that you can't just biff in willy-nilly at science because you can't freeze alcohol.
Alcohol doesn't freeze.
It doesn't.
So my Jamison's in the freezer and it like goes, you could leave it in there and not touch it for a month and leave the freezer shut.
It still doesn't freeze.
It's nice and thick, but it doesn't freeze out of it can't freeze.
So when I had sort of hifton mix of tequila, I'd heavy hand.
Which is my shock you, I heavy-handed the tequila.
Also, didn't the machine beep and tell you too much alcohol?
Yeah.
How do they know?
It just knows.
Because it wasn't freezing.
There's a breath tester in it.
Because Haley, old boozy sprawl here and just poured.
Oh, heavy-handed Haley.
Yeah, that wouldn't work.
Yeah.
And then you've also got to make sure when you're making, if they're alcoholic slushies,
you've got to have sugar content as well.
It's got to be at least 5% or something.
We had the sugar, right, because my mixes were sugary, too much alcohol.
the solve was you've got to add water
and then immediately she slushed
and then we were on a roll
and then we were like we got the science right
and so it was like the moment that slushy had been done
someone was like let's do something else
at one point I couldn't find a mix
and I was like let's chuck in a bottle of wine
see what happens we had a bit of frosate
like it was so much fun
but from the arrival of the gaggle
to the first slushy was four hours
so that sort of I'm going home after four hours
I recommend that's the end of the party for me.
And I would like to say that I had a hard out for everyone.
I wanted everyone out of my house at 8pm at the latest.
Now that I'd already push from 7pm.
It was 2 to 7 and I said 2 to 8.
1 a.m. the Uber's turned out.
But that's also on me because I made them wait 4 hours for their first slushy.
So there is science behind freezing alcohol.
But once we've read the instructions.
Oh, so enjoyed it was amazing.
I'm glad I missed this.
I'm going to come in when everyone's experienced.
Veterans?
Yeah.
I feel like if you were there, it probably wouldn't have...
Are we taking the Ninja Slushy Machine away with us on our genuine friends?
Oh, maybe.
Depends on where we end up going.
Yeah, that's what I...
That was kind of me trying to get a clue.
Might not be appropriate on top of a ski field.
That was bad improv.
Damn it, he knows we're not going skiing.
The Fletchborn and Haley, big pod.
Now, look, you know, this is actually my year of tattoos.
I think I've got like seven this year.
She's a dick, did.
Yeah, big time.
And I've got so many more plant.
Like, I'm in.
I'm all out.
Well, Vaughn, you even got one, didn't you?
Yeah, I did.
Oh, he did.
I got one.
I don't have we've already talked about it too much.
No, we haven't.
Yeah, I go one.
I'm going to get some more, too.
It was with your group of friends.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
My lads, my boys.
Yeah, the boys.
My boys.
My close and personal.
The lads I love.
Yeah.
I will say, we were somewhere the other day,
and someone said, I love that cowboy on your thigh.
Did you?
I said, I love him too as a friend.
As a friend.
Yeah, that's my friend.
And I said, that caused a bit of trouble, that tattoo.
The lady said, that sounds like a story.
I said, well, we don't have enough time.
Where are you guys?
We're going to go.
We're up at a cafe and pants and bit.
Oh, lovely.
I have my little skirt on.
Anyway, we digress.
Tattoos, we're talking about it because ACC claims for botched tattoos
tops 500 a year.
I didn't know that botched isn't, like, infected or like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
It's an open wound.
You're just like...
I don't think this would fall in the ACC.
I thought it would be medical.
It's not an accident, is it?
No.
Tattoo-related injuries are behind hundreds of ACC claims every year,
costing the country hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
Interesting.
From people claiming injuries where the accident description contained the words tattoo.
Oh, is it because you just put on your ACC form you did it at the gym during a lap pull down?
Yeah, the gun got infected.
Yeah.
And then the tattoo got infected.
And they just say, yeah, sure.
That's very interesting.
Do you know what's interesting?
Tattoos are not covered by ACC.
Oh, here we go.
I've had a Google.
Here we go.
Because they're not considered injuries from an accident
but of a pre-planned elective cosmetic procedure.
ACC covers injuries caused by accidents while some injuries from medical treatment can be covered
under treatment injury claims.
This is a specific to an injury caused by a necessary medical procedure.
Therefore, getting a tattoo, which is a voluntary choice, does not cover for ACC.
I don't know.
We've got conflicting information.
Maybe their claims, maybe they don't pain them out, but it's saying it's costing us a lot.
And this is from New Zealand.
It's from the NZ. It's from the NZ Herald Trust.
Very interesting.
So, yeah, it's like it's an open word if you don't look after them or it was done by an unqualified person, which is great.
I've had most of my tattoos done in Australia where you have to have a license.
You do a whole thing.
You apply.
You prove your quality of work that you've been taught by someone of repute.
You're not reusing your needles.
You're not doing all this shit.
And then in New Zealand, there are no specific qualifications.
required for tattoo artists in New Zealand.
So you can just get yourself your little
Timu gun and off your trot.
So this is how bad it could get.
There's a master
tattooist who specialises in traditional
samoan tattooing, which is often done with
the wood, and the banging.
And you'd go in the whole legs, you know,
and it's a whole thing.
Similar to what they do in, is it Thailand and Bali?
They do that as well? A lot of traditional tattoo.
I saw somebody in Bali or Thailand,
And it's years ago, and they had got the traditional one on their back, the poke tattoo,
and their whole arm had gone like black purple.
And I was like, good luck.
There was a man who traveled to Samoa to get his traditional, you know, family heritage,
the shorts, like the whole bottom half of his body done.
He ended up in the hospital in Samoa being told that both of his legs would need to be amputated
due to the blood infection from this tattooing that was done too deep and too, it was just not done well.
and then it took him two years to heal from it.
Wait, did they not chop his leg off?
No, they didn't.
He got on a plane.
Always good to get a second opinion
before they're about to chop your legs off.
He said he left the hospital from Samoa,
got straight on a plane to Auckland
where an ambulance was waiting for him.
He got taken there, full, you know, blood cleansing and everything.
Two years later, this master tattooer was able to fix it
and do it properly.
So, someone said, my mum had the dog jump on a new tattoo,
a dog, jump on a new tattoo
at the beach which caused an infection
so that procedure was fine, the dog
calls the injury to the tattoo.
Oh, right. Oh yeah, there you go.
But that's an accident. But just
a botched tattoo wouldn't be because as I say
it's elective. Yeah, it wouldn't be. Yeah, if you got a new
tattoo and you're like, someone pushed me into the ocean
and I definitely wasn't on holiday going
for a little swim too early and, you know, I got hot
and I thought it'll be fine. The salt water
will help it. Yeah. Well, be careful
out there and make sure you do your research
before you commit.

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley
Right, well let me scroll back in this Instagram conversation
I've been having with this fellow.
A fellow?
September the 18th.
That's a month ago.
I got a message from a man called Jaden saying,
Good afternoon every year my wife and I
and our friend come to Auckland for what we call a make a wish weekend.
We aren't dying or anything, but you know, you never know.
And he's right.
We should all be constantly doing Make a Wish weekend.
Weekends because what if you get hit by a bus
and you didn't get you to make a wish week yet? That's how I live my life
like it's just one big winner wish.
You know I think I'm a living a make a wish life.
Yeah. Great.
Fantastic for you too.
Now the premise for the weekend is whoever's turn it is gets to pick the activities.
Last year it was my wife's turn and we got tattoos and went to a
lambington making class.
Oh my God, a lambington make it? Because you know the tip is you freeze the sponge.
If you don't freeze the sponge it's going to be a crumbly mess.
You're not going to get a lambington.
And you're dipping.
frozen sponge it makes it so much easier oh my god it's it's a hack so he says this year is my turn and my
dream car is a chimney and i'd love to be able to hire or rent one for the weekend just driving around
orpun do you know because you're a jimney man do you know any companies that do this as an option now
what time did i reply to him later in the evening okay yeah yeah yeah yeah i'm feeling generous
you're hanging out with your mate jameson what have you done he um he's here looking at the
weekend at 18th of October.
Honestly, we wouldn't even
need it overnight if you know anyone's at rents them.
I say, what don't you just have mine?
Crazy.
You don't know this person?
Never met him. Never?
Never met him. Just borrow mine.
He's like, no, no, no, it wasn't implying that.
Now that is at,
turn that message, go back. 9 o'clock at night.
I'm like, ah, it's all good, brother. Talk soon.
It's all yours.
Were you going to give it a clean?
Because you keep your chimney quite
scrappy.
Also, you can hire them from the rental places.
I'm pretty sure you can.
I don't know.
So then he messages me back the next day.
Would you seriously lend your car to a random stranger on the internet?
He was kind of giving me the eye out.
Yeah, yeah.
And I was like, look, if you wrote that car off,
it'd probably hit the top five bad things that have happened this year.
And he's like, that sounds like a lot.
And I was like, yeah, man, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Because you've got to laugh or you cry.
Yeah.
And then he said, I'll be in touch closer to the weekend.
I said, yep, all good.
Then he messaged it on October 6th, saying afternoon, a couple of weeks away,
just wanted to see if you want to opt out again, sweet ass.
And I'm like, no, man, totally, it's all good.
You don't know this person.
I was like, and he said he's got a clean license.
Okay, yeah.
And he said, it's going to be the 18th of October, can pick it up on me to wherever.
And I said, yeah, sweet ass, I'll sort it.
We'll just sort it, message me again on the week.
This is wild.
Then he says to me.
Why are you doing this?
Because who cares, man.
It's a way.
It's a winner wish.
I've got to make some guys weak here?
Yeah, totally.
Actually, totally.
He said, and he says to me
on the 6th of October,
is it an automatic?
I've just realised I can't drive a manual.
Oh, hon.
And I said, it's automatic, baby,
you're sort of needs.
I got a license, I promise,
you want me to send you a photo of it?
I was like,
couldn't give a shit.
You literally couldn't care less.
Well, I mean, yes,
because then you know who's got your car
if it doesn't come back?
I got his Instagram account.
Oh, yeah, that's true
that everything on Instagram's real.
I can't see any filter.
Jesus, Vaughn.
What are you doing?
He says arriving Friday, staying in Mangaree, happy to meet wherever.
And I said, ah, I'll come drop it off of Mangare.
What the how are you doing?
That's the opposite side of Auckland.
I don't care, man.
And then how are you getting out of from Mangani to back home?
I'll sort it out.
Oh, what is he, Father Bloody Christmas.
So, and he said, um, what a da-da-da-da-da.
I know, this is, because we weren't going to talk about it on Friday before it happened.
Yeah.
But I was like, you'll poo-poo it.
Of course I will.
You'll shambuzle.
You don't know these people.
I don't know this guy.
I never met him in my life.
This is wild.
He's like, what Pedro does it take?
I'm like 91.
Basic.
I said there's a few rules to the chimney.
If you see another chimney and there's a car park empty next to it,
you've got to park next to that chimney and take a photo with the chimney.
And you've always got to wave to other gymmy owners.
And you can not go over 80.
Yeah.
It's just not possible.
That's not a rule.
That's just a limitation of the vehicle.
I try.
I'm like, hit me.
me with his address in Mangare.
Okay.
He hits me with the address.
And on Friday, I'm like, I'm just going to park it on the side of the right outside your
friend's house and chuck the keys in the letterbox.
Oh my God.
Far out.
What is wrong with you?
I'm bad at it.
No insurance.
Like, no, like, in an exchange, like you get me a little.
Because I log on to the app and it's like, if you want another name, another name driver.
And I'm like, oh, that's his name off Instagram.
Like, you know, when you forget something, they're like, leave your keys behind.
What are you doing?
What is wrong with you?
No, a deposit of some kind?
Out to South Auckland, park on the side of the road,
chuck the keys in the litter box.
I'm like, knock yourself out.
I hope you have a great weekend.
You're famously known for its lower insurance premiums also.
Yeah, yeah.
Wait, did you clean it?
So hang on, he's looking for a fun gymny experience.
You give your old sort of dusty, dirty,
uncleaned.
I said either the glove box is full of receipts.
Don't, like, open that because the receipts will spill out.
Great.
So, there's anything else I need to know.
I'm just like, I'm just like, I guess just have fun.
I was like, you can take it full-wheel driving and stuff.
No.
I don't mind so much.
Just whatever.
Okay.
Okay, please tell me you've got the car back.
Nah.
I was supposed to get it yesterday afternoon.
I completely forgot it.
Oh, for God's sake.
Wait, so it's just sitting on some street and they've left.
Nah, he's still here.
I think.
You think?
What?
I'm going to go get an air tag in it?
Yeah, I did actually.
That's a good call.
I should check where it is.
I haven't even thought to look all week.
I would be tracking that thing like a hawk.
Oh my God.
What is wrong with you?
That is insane behaviour of war.
It's not insane.
It's very whimsical.
It's whimsical, but it's very irresponsible.
It's a, it's a, the Manaco Super Centre in Cavan District right now.
Well, imagine if he went to go do like a ram raid or something.
I don't care.
What's he doing at the Manico Supercent?
age 16, nothing's open.
I don't know, he's from out of town.
He might be just going to see some stuff.
Nothing's open.
He's there ram raiding and I know.
You're absolutely insane.
This is insane behaviour.
And you're right.
If you told this story on Friday,
I would have said absolutely not.
What are you doing?
I don't care.
How are you going to get the car today?
I don't know.
Someone needs to be taking charge of this man.
Do you need one of those like,
what are those British Bears?
Conservatives.
And that should be your.
No, I don't want all that.
I don't want an admin this.
I don't even want my own admin.
I want nothing to do with it.
No one wants this admin.
If I get it back, I get it back.
If not, I don't, whatever I just think.
I don't like it.
It's whimsical.
It's whimsical. It's fun. It's very whimsical.
Because then you've got to go to yourself.
Okay, worst case, what happens?
The car gets ridden off.
Who cares?
Yeah.
What's the story?
Oh my God, I cannot believe this.
I don't have anything jaded them.
Yeah.
You're a Ford basseter.

I can't believe

the long weekend

so you need to just relax
and chill out
I'm stressed now

I'm really like
sinking into it too
I might start doing more fast

I feel like he's going to come back
with some sort of like facial tattoo
you know what I mean
and like uh yeah
okay well look let's just not be doing that again
I would say
I think it's been a great
If I get the car back
There's a few messages
Okay what are people saying
People want us to call the guy
With the chimney
Just to check in
A lot of people
And this is a great definition
Of love and faith
Hope it works out
If not the story just gets better
Love and faith
It is love and faith
Yeah
That's what I'm calling my twins
Yeah yeah
Guys I'm having twins
Someone did say
Tell you what I actually need
A Ranger for the weekend
If you wouldn't mind
If I could buy that
I'm not used to
it this weekend. No, that's not yours
to listen. That's not your
car. That one's not yours to lend. It's got a dent.
Someone just wants to know

$10 suburb
returns this week for the half
week that we're here.
Away on Thursday Friday for the long weekend.
Monday's...
Monday's Labor Day.
Yep.
But how $10 suburb works is I read out a suburb,
you have to be in that suburb,
a randomly generated suburb somewhere in Altero, New Zealand.
And if you're in that suburb, you call in, prove it.
I'll ask a couple of questions.
And then you win $10 and I transfer it straight from my bank account into your bank account.
Randomly generating...
That's the sound it makes.
Onerahi in Fongare.
Oh, okay.
Oh, I know that.
It's described as Fungare's balcony
because you get the best harbour views
and a front row seat to every weather system
rolling in off the Pacific.
Okay, so I love watching a weather system.
Right now, you're listening.
You can be driving through,
you can be in there, in the suburb,
and Fungarei on the irahi is...
Onerai.
It looks, I mean, like most of up north, beautiful.
The Fungara airport's out there?
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So if you're in that...
Any other stats on this?
It's quite statistically, I mean, geographically, it's quite a big suburb.
Okay.
It's got a fatty on our hands here.
That was quite a lot of ground.
So, Mother, you want to learn a little bit more about the suburb?
The great unspoken rivalry with Riverside on the Rahi folks.
I reckon they've got the better view.
Riverside insists there comes with fewer mosquitoes.
Oh, okay.
Well, everyone still tells the story of one time a local bloke landed as microlight on the wrong side of the runway.
just as if he could.
Amy, good morning.
Good morning.
Welcome to $10 suburb.
You are currently in this suburb.
In Onarahi?
Yes.
I am.
I'm just driving to work
and I've pulled over on the side
of the road near the shop.
Okay.
All right.
This is great.
Is it a nice day there
because the photos online
make it look like the water
would really sparkle.
It is a really nice day today actually.
It's really funny and it's really warm
on my drive to work.
Sparkly water.
So what road are you on?
Where are these shops?
I'm not.
super familiar with the
I am on the corner of
the road sign
I'm on I'm off on Arahi
Road and there is the flame
that
hotel and I pass
outside cease India and it's across
the road also from the Fangre
Alahey Library
and the place of it. Okay
she's giving some of the Honorahey Library
came. You are
Waverly Street.
Waverly Street I can see it bang in the
smack bang in the middle of the suburb.
We do just see it run a couple of quick questions
using Google Street View just to make sure
you're not trying to, you know, fraudulently obtain
$10. Yeah. Because you would say you were on
honor. What is it?
On the Rahi Road.
So what's, what did you
say was the
takeaways that you were outside?
Outside to East India, which is an Indian
restaurant and behind me is
that, what do you call it?
It's like a
some sort of onerahi
he's a tavern.
You would say that though
because every
course on it
he's got a tavern.
Of course.
I'm next to the public
toilet
to my race.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, no.
She's,
this is all
stacking up.
Is it?
Any, any,
she's just described?
Alik, could you ask a sign?
Just like,
so we're definitively
proving that she's there.
Same is very friendly
and sometimes I'm like,
why are you so friendly?
Yeah,
because she's trying to get
$10 out of us.
The tavern that you're
describing,
tell me about the sign.
Which.
sign.
Well, I would say it's the most vis-really dominant sign.
It says pub on it.
Oh, pub.
Let's have a lot.
Hold on.
I don't have over the car.
The commitment to the $10.
Yeah.
Good commitment to the...
I mean, it's not jumping a fence.
From the main road, I get the sign on the corner.
Yes.
It says comfort hotel and flame.
Yep.
It's like a two for the...
She's done it.
She's not making this up.
No, she's in order.
And so far, we're not.
We have, we've never failed with $10 suburb, have we?
No.
It's a, it's a winner.
I want a long list of winners.
I was looking for a, oh, funny if I say, oh, no, that he.
And then we did.
And we did.
And we did.
And we did.
Say on the line,
Vaughan is going to get your bank details, uh, or it's a painful, um,
this is so painful and someone did just text and saying,
I can't believe he asked more questions of the $10 suburb person
than the person borrowing his vehicle.
That is so true.
I thought that was one ridiculous morning story as well.
You wouldn't loan your car to a stranger, would you, Amy?
No, no, neither.
But would you borrow my car, Amy?
I probably would.
Yeah, see.
Yeah, but it's wild behaviour, Amy.
It's okay.
Well, wait there, Amy.
We'll get that transfer through to you.
Play.
Play, Z, N.
Flet's one and Haley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day.
It's rhub-to-to-to-to-d-d-to-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-ttoo.
It's rhubarb week, at fact of the day.
Hmm.
Because I am currently custodian.
Yes.
Of Haley's nana's rhubarb.
Latitia's rhubarb.
Although, imagine when Patsy's back, should we want that rhubarb back?
Well, no, because we've got to, like...
I want my rhubarbababababababab.
I've got to make a spot for it in my garden.
and that's a process.
Because at the weekend, my mother cut me a whole lot of rhubarb
from her thriving rhubarb plants
and we got talking about rhubarb
and that's what spawned this is fact of the day.
Now I've got one rock solid fact
and two more days of the week to fill.
This could headline calendar week.
I'm just saying it's not sexy.
I have an emotional investment
because if you kill that rhubarb,
my nana passed away in 2011.
That's how long we've been keeping that thing alive.
Also, it is wild.
You handed me a near-dead rhubarb and you're like,
don't you dare kill that rhubarb
It's like shooting someone
And then being like
Don't you dare die
That's on you if you die
That's on you if you die
That's on you if you die
I didn't kill you
Well today's rubarb fact of the day
Is the same thing
That makes rhubarb leaves poisonous to eat
Is in barkeeper's friend
The scrub
You know the scrub
Like the barbecue scrub
The barkeeper's friend
That's what it's called a barqueen
It's like a multi-purpose
Dude it rules for cleaning
Yeah
So if you've got a rust mark
Yeah, barkeeper's friend.
If you've got pots that need shining
and you don't want to use barkeeper's friend,
grab a handful of rhubarb leaves
and scrub your pots with rhubarb leaves.
Shut up. I'm... Shit you're not. I've tried it.
Shut up. I tried it. I tried it. Not with Nana's rhubarb.
Not the Nana's rhubarb, but Christine's room.
It's not enough to fear. Christine is a nana.
Christine is a nana. So when we say nana, my nana,
my nana also grow up.
No, ladies's rhubarb. Let's call that
Letties rubarb.
Christine's rhubarb. The leaves,
So the oxalic acid
Is a naturally occurring organic acid
Found in many plants
What
Sorry, just in a group chat
We've had just some feedback from the producers
The fact sucks
The fact sucks
Excuse me
Wow
This is classic Gen Z
Not willing to put it in the hard yards
To scrub a pan
They'll just chuck it away and go get a new one
Yeah
One with PIFS
Forever chemicals
Yeah
Yeah
It's this team new economy
That they want to live in
Yeah.
This fascinates me.
So you grab a handful of rhubarb leaves and you can scrub pots with it.
I just worry about the oxalic acid.
I just worry about tomorrow's and Wednesday's factory.
I don't even know what they are yet.
I'm a bit worried that we're going to attack.
So it's the same, it's the same, the oxalic acid is the same active ingredient that's in Barkie of his friend
that I recently used to clean a glass, a shower glass.
Oh, okay.
Does it work on shower glass?
Dude, it works so well.
Should I get in the shower today?
Because my shower glass is a bit filthy at the moment.
With some rhubarb.
Yes.
How natural nude rhubarb are there.
Cleaning the gloves.
So rhubarb leaves, the toxic levels of the oxylic acid, is 1,900 milligrams per 100 grams, which is toxic.
It'll shut your kidneys down.
Oh, goodness.
It'll do a whole lot of stuff to you.
Not good.
Rubarb stalks have up to 500, so it has nearly four times as much as the actual stalks themselves.
And in lower quantities, it's actually really good for you.
So spinach, it's in spinach.
One of the highest edible sources.
Spenish is great for you.
Yeah, I eat a lot of spinach.
Yeah, I love spinach.
Well, it's definitely in there.
There's even some of this in chocolate.
Yum.
And dark chocolate is some of this acid.
And brewed tea has a small amount, but it still has it.
So after you've boiled your rhubarb, there's another way of you can use that.
Fletch, please don't hurry.
You can boil your rhubarb if you're going to make like a rhubarb,
and you can use the water left over as a cleaner as well.
Well, come into this.
Lucky it's a short week.
Grab a handful of rhubarb leaves next time you want to clean your pots and get them sparkling clean.
Because the ace fact of the day is the same acid that makes rhubarb leaves.
Poisons to eat, by the way, to everything, not even goats.
Yeah.
Goats can eat anything.
Goats can't eat rhubarb leave.
It'll kill them.
It's toxic to them.
Dogs as well, keep them away from the rhubarb if they're chewing on those leaves.
The same thing that makes rhubarb leaves toxic is the active ingredient in one of the world's best cleaners.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day.
Do do do do do do do to 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 to do do do to do do do.

After many, many, many, many, many, many years of marriage, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman split up this year.
Yeah.
A separation no one really saw coming because they.
They've always been so in love, you know.
Yeah.
It's not amicable.
It is amicable?
I don't know.
Who's the vibe on the ambicabalities?
I don't know.
Doesn't seem like it.
Yeah.
It's not giving big amicable.
No.
Because there's been a few sort of slights.
It's not a conscious uncoupling.
No, no, no.
We're full of a family kind of a vibe.
No.
So he was performing in his high and alive world tour
and there was a sign that a woman had up.
It was a handmade side.
asking the country singer to help announce her pregnancy to a family,
like that classic thing.
And he got into a little bit of an engagement with her
where he was like, okay, yeah, like, you know, I'll entertain this, you know?
And there's like, okay, I'm going to do this.
And he was like, what's your name?
And she's like, it's Nicole.
And then he kind of recoils back onto the stage, like, oh, God.
Yeah, and he was just like, what was your name?
Nicole, and he was like, ugh, basically.
And she's like, yeah, I'm sorry.
That name's probably ruined for you.
And I imagine if you spent that long with someone
and there was a little bit of wrongdoing,
that name might always seem a little bit of a chill up your spine.
So I want to know today, what is your ex ruined for you?
Maybe it's a song or like a food that you're like,
I can't eat tacos anymore.
There's already some funny text messages.
And we've got Instagram responses as well.
And I feel like we'll have no shortage.
No shortage?
We're living in a bountiful time.
Because I feel like we can just go now with some responses.
Yeah, let's do it.
It could be something small like a street or a road.
You know that thing that you're like...
A TV show?
Topol.
Oh, really?
But see, that's why you've just got to go and make new memories of someone else or with friends.
You go in there and soiled Topor.
Yeah.
With new memories.
Please don't soiled to-po.
Please don't soil that beautiful.
Soil Topo with new memories.
Residents of Topor don't need you coming down there soiling them.
Get in there and smear yourself around Topor.
I used to love the movie.
Lilo and Stitch until I found out my ex was
chatting on me for months and their nicknames for each other
were Lilo and Stitch.
Okay, yeah.
My ex ruined a little wee-woo.
Oh, Stitchie-Wee-Wool.
Hey team, my ex ruined that song, Mr. Brightside.
It used to be our song.
It's an absolute banger, but all I can think about is his chatting ass whenever I hear it.
And that's such a banger too, to be ruined.
You need to do something excellent to that.
Yes, to replace it.
You know, to replace that memory, something bigger.
Nachos.
Every time I eat that, I think of her.
She's the one that got away.
Oh, so like...
No one should ever be sad eating nachos.
You should only be ever experiencing absolute joy.
Mexican food can only bring joy.
Don't you dare cry while you're eating tacos or burritos?
Oh, no.
If there's a sizzling fajita platter, depression, tata.
Yeah, yeah.
That can sizzle off.
Sizzily wizzily.
Sizzle off the depression.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The heater sizzling platter.
So we...
That's actually a great advertising campaign.
It is.
It is.
Sizzle away your depression without our sizzling for heated platter.
People are like, I don't know if that's had a lot.
Depression works.
It Fletchford and Haley's
Sizzling Fahita planet
grill.
I'm so sad. I'm going to need two
fajitas.
I bet you'll be happy after that, just saying.
One of the Instagram responses, geology, I used to
love camping and rock hounding and now it's all
just triggering. Oh my God.
Take me rock hounding.
You see some shist. I want to go rock hounding
and find one of those round ones and they pick them up.
The guys on the internet are like, there's a fossil in here
and you're like, how do you know?
Then it cracks it open and it's a bloody snail thing.
Wow.
It's just so cool.
bro.
I'd love to do that.
Sorry, I'm just too busy
being so turned on over here.
I'm just trying to get my head back focused.
Fossils, baby.
I'm going to go soil, topos.
I'll wait 100,000 emerson number.
You can text in 9-696.
What has your ex ruined for you?
What an ex ruined for you?
Joe, what did they ruin?
Oh, KFC.
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
No!
No!
He would work late at night and he'd come home with Philly with a bucket of
chicken under his arm and I've just got these
vivid memories of him sitting in the corner of the
lounge like Gollum like sucking
on the bones of the chicken and
just the smell takes me back
to that flat and just him like
growling like my gracious, he's eating all this chicken
and just grease going everywhere and I just can't
do it. Joe's triggered, eh?
That's a real, that's a whew!
Yeah, wow. It's taking me back 20 years
like that. Wow.
Oh man. I thought you were going to say you
had a relationship with the Colonel
himself and you couldn't stand to see his successes
Honestly, he smelt like the colonel by the end of it.
No, this man had nothing on a bearded hot man.
Oh, brilliant.
Love that, Joe.
Thank you.
Freya, what did your ex ruin for you?
My family batch.
Oh, but that's your batch.
Yeah.
Yeah, I met him at the beach.
Oh, yeah.
And, you know, I was only young, but it was all on.
And then he broke my house.
Young love is very potent.
Summer heartbreak.
It's very potent.
It's actually a song about it.
Every time I went to the beach, he'd be there on his motorbike and just completely ruined it.
He's a bad boy. He's got a bad.
So he had a motorbike, because I was going to ask, like, did he have a car?
Uh-huh, mm, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Yeah, he had a motorbike.
Oh, did you have in a blast?
Like, it was pretty dreamy.
Yeah.
Did you do some splashing around?
And he would love this anymore.
Did you do some splash around?
Long-time listener, first-time callers.
Oh, yes.
At the end of the call, this is chaos.
I love it.
Freya, thank you.
Some messages in.
My ex ruined my chimney when she drove it into a wall,
so hearing Vaughan's Jimny's story this morning.
This may be upset, and it's triggering.
Now, have you messaged these people to ask if...
No, he was at Kmart.
Remember when you were like, what are they doing there?
He just said he's at Kmart.
I was like, enjoy yourself.
I think we might need to talk to him tomorrow on the show,
just to get some...
customer feedback about your rental service
that feels weird asking him for his number
now at this stage of the go
it is it's too retrospective
like it's too
there could be damage that needs
it could be oh
oh my god someone's ex ruined
why hecky for them
too
because they got cheated on at a wedding
while eight months pregnant
oh my goodness
I have a new memory over there
we should make a new memory with them
we can make a new memory on wah
hecker
A-E-O-W-W-W-A-E-O-W-A-E-I-O-U and always wha-W-N.
And sometimes...
We could do a segment called Memory Remakers,
and we take people places, and we have a fun weekend.
It's like heavyweight, the podcast that we love,
where we kind of go back and, like, fix a bad memory.
Memory Remakers.
That's a really good idea, Vaugh.
Yeah, we are going on holiday and Wednesday, so sorry.
Park that.
Yeah, yeah, park that for when we're back on.
I'm going to 26.
I've got a boat.
He used to captain said boat naked.
And now he's gone and any time I'm on that boat,
I see him and I remember what he did.
He ruined me going out of my own boat.
You could reimagine him with like big hairy butt.
You need to get another naked captain.
Yeah, get another naked captain.
Just hire one.
But that's also something we can do in our new segment,
memory makers.
We'll go out on your boat naked.
We'll be naked.
Three of us just in the boat naked.
We'll do a day-skipper course
Because I don't know idea about driving boats
I think it's mad
Than anyone can just go and drive a boat
We'll get to more of your text next
We're having fun, George
We're talking about what your ex ruined for you
Yeah, I was trying to think of a story before about that
I don't have one
Nice, like you let go move on
Yeah
Well, not everybody else
Fleets, can I have auxiliary court up please
Because somebody said
This has been ruined for me
No
Chimericoy
What?
What?
Why would you care?
It gets sweeter.
If you don't remember this song, Georgia, this was massive in the 90s.
Huge when MTV launched in New Zealand.
Do you not know this song?
I've never heard of this song for it.
Do you know, I was such a vibe for a while.
It wasn't.
And you watched the music video for this.
The walls moved and he danced around the past.
Yeah.
It was like late 90s 2000s 2000s.
So I broke up with my girlfriend.
And then I saw on the tally,
she was going into the British Music Awards
with none other than Dramaraquai.
What?
Oh, my God's sad.
What?
He's broke up with him.
What?
And you hooked up with Dramarquay.
God damn it.
I love that song.
But my mind goes there every time.
You know, la, there's love with him for eustace,
Tristan.
Okay, wait.
The song was 1996.
Yeah.
Guys, I feel like I've completely, like, not lived a part of my life.
Everyone's like, this is the absolute best.
Never heard of this in my life.
Yes, you have.
You're so drunk.
This album was really good.
Are you drunk right now?
A whole album by these people.
This is a great album, iconic.
8.5 million people listen to this band Monthless Spotify.
Guys, I was brought up on, you know, like, Boysone and stuff.
This was Boys Zone adjacent.
That was the other great British music.
Can we just leave this?
going in the background
as we are
yeah
absolutely
the rest of
the ones
carry on
um on
and it goes on
she'd send me
pictures of
his Ferrari collection
as well
so
what Germanic wise
I do not need to hear
about Germanicloy
she's literally
it would be a great
phone and topic
but you wouldn't get
many like calls
like we need someone
move on
with someone famous
yeah for sure
that would be the worst day
oh my god I'm not
yeah
Warren's losing his mind
Down in the garage
Dancing around the Ferrari
Send a picture of your ex
You're this
He'd have
My new technology
Send a picture to your age
Wait let me get my hat on
Let me get my hat off
He wore funny hats
He wore just stupid hats
He wore big like velvet top hats
Like soft velvet top hats
Someone said oh my god
There's a kid at my school
My child school called Jamirikwai
No, there's not.
No, there's not.
That's where it came from, yeah.
There is.
Oh, my God, it's the pictures of the Ferraris.
I don't want to see pictures of Ferraris.
God, you're losing your mind.
God, damage you're going to my face.
I'm adding this song onto our road trip playlist.
Oh, yeah, fantastic.
Accept it.
Okay, well.
No, no, we're going to peak, but there are some other ones.
Yeah, that's our show today.
Vaughn, I think, tomorrow on the show,
follow up with the chimney people.
Yep.
I think we should get a review of sorts.
Yeah, I think we're going to have to have them on the show tomorrow.
Did you hear this insane behaviour, Georgia?
Honestly, I kind of rate it though.
You've got to live life for the content sometimes.
That's what Morgan's doing.
Vaughn loaned his chimney to a listener he's never met.
Get better funeral stories as we say in Sex.Life, and this is a good one.
I do find it bizarre you don't even have his number though.
That's a set mistake.
That's real fuzzy.
What do I need?
Yeah.
He's got a blue tick?
I don't think so.
Famous last words.
Hey guys, apparently being the company's most successful podcast isn't enough.
They want us to tell people to tell more of their friends.
So people are clearly liking it, but we have to tell them to tell others to like it.
I would concentrate more on the shitter podcast that the company makes.
Yeah, same.
You know, the real losers out there.
Yeah, like, no, no, no, we'll just...
Yeah.
Maybe we won't say nice.
Maybe we should even encourage people to listen to other podcasts that the company makes.
Oh, no, but only after Alves.
Yeah, nah, no, don't do that.
And not more than ours.
Give us a sexy little review, though.
Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
