She is British comedy. royalty. Yeah. And is coming to New Zealand in just a couple of months. Yeah, November? For the remix tour, which is reflecting on 35 years of comedy. And honestly, I have been watching Eddie Azad since I watched

Dressed to Kill. One of the greatest, you know, comedy specials of all time. It's so good. I'm very excited. Have you seen Eddie Azad live though? I've never. And I bloody well will be. Yeah, I did it like, it would have been like maybe 10 years ago? Even maybe longer? Yeah.

Well, we'll talk to her very soon. Next on the show, though, how much an Australian family has paid to be neighbours with the Hemsworths? Play ZM's, Flashbourne and Haley. A family have paid to live next door to the Hemsworths. You remember Chris Hemsworth and his wife and the kids? They built that massive Westfield. It looked very Westfield-y from outside.

It looked like a giant Westfield Mall on Byron. in Bay, basically on the beach, on the coast. That's right. Beautiful, like, spot. Well, the house next door to them, it shares a property line with the Hemsworth. It has set the August house price record, and they have paid this family to live next door to the Hemsworth. 36 million Australian dollars.

I mean, look at this. The house, no, that's the Hemsworth's house. The Hemsworth House. The Hemsworth House. Does it goate? This is the neighbours. Oh, wow. How much land?

And it looks like a lot of land And obviously you're straight down to the beach Bondi No No No, no Byron Bayon Byron! Byron! Byron! Byron! Byron! I meant

Like it's a big house Like it's a sprawling mansion Sprawling mansion It was built in 2014 It's nine hectares Far around Of land Yeah so that's a lot

That's a good whack of land But it's not like a It's not a dairy farm Like no I'd be disappointed if I paid that much to live next to the Hemsworth's because all of their properties are so massive you can't even get a peep in

you know what I mean like it's not like we're sheer an offence but their purpose for purchasing wasn't to be neighbours of the Hemsworth it just so happens that you don't think that's a part of it that'd be a little bit did then the real estate agent at the open home

was like tell you who lives next door Thor? Thor? Who had four? Thor imagine going over and asking Thor for an egg I'm making a cake If you've got nine hectares and you're not running a chook. Yeah, that's on you, actually. You're an absolute bloody moron if you've not got a chook run.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But also if you're paying 36 million. I wondered if it was a couple of cashed up rich gays, but it's not. It's a husband and wife. Oh, that's disappointing. The cashed up rich gays are like, swear out, we're going to move next door to the Hemsworth. Yeah. All right, honey.

And they're just like, we need some more sugar. We need some sugar. Yeah. And then, I mean, would you, would you pop over and say hello? Absolutely. You've got to introduce stuff to the neighbours. Hi, we just moved in next door, just sending over a batch of lemon scones, you know?

Yeah. Lemon scones, lemon muffins and say hello. I don't think the hems are scorn people. They do a lemon poppy seed muffin. But like gluten-free. Gluten free. Maybe some homemade protein balls. Yeah, bliss balls.

You know, bliss balls. You know, I brought you some bliss balls. You'll be careful. A lot of hidden sugar in a bliss ball. What's his wife's name? It's like... Eliza. No.

Patricia. No, Pataki. No, her name is Elsa. Potacki. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Last names. Reminds me of Hay Arnold. Wasn't that, wasn't that one of them Pataki?

Helga Pataki. Was she Helga? I didn't even knew Helga's last name from Hay Arnold. Helga G. Pataki. She was the bully on Hay Arnold, but she was secretly in love with Arnold all along. You know that. You know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know that. Yeah, she's Elsa Pataki. She's Spanish? I don't know. Sleep up in. Play Z-M's. Flash Vaughan and Haley. What's, what, what, what, what, what, Brent,

of deodorant do you use? I've got a Rexona spray on and a Mitchum Roll-on. Not every time, not every time. I switch it up, I change it, my body works it out. Ball and aerosol. No, it doesn't.

Balls and assholes. Yeah, that's, I wear it. Do you know that joke from, not the 5 o'clock news or whatever it was? No. Oh, I would like to buy some deodorant. Ball or aerosol. Neither. It's for my armpits. That's good. It's pretty good, pretty good. A little joke.

Pretty good. And what do you use? Fletch? I'm a nivir. Oh. Yeah. It's a soft way thing. A lot of compliments on my deodorant.

Oh, really do you? People are like, what are you wearing? I'm like, it's just deodorant. Just deo? Yeah. I think it's my natural. You've got something. I've got a natural...

I've got something in your skin that adds to whatever... Oh, his pheromones. I've got a, yeah, I've got sexy pheromones. He does have hot pheromats. Remember the base, when you put on the base of the perfume and we were all like, yeah. I didn't do anything for us. I didn't need anything else. a base.

Yeah. Yeah. God, I wanted to kiss him that day. Yeah. I didn't know I held back. Well, I'm asking this because Mitchum, I use Mitchum, but I use the clinical gel. And Producer Carwin, you use Mitchum as well. And so does Shannon.

And so does producer Shannon. Oh. We're a Mitchum girls gang. Well, Mitchum's had to apologize because a lot of people using the 48-hour protection roll-on, which is not the one I use. That's the exact one I use. Giving people a rash. Rashi pits.

I'm a rashy girl, though. Have you heard rashy I'm a rashy girl too? But constantly, you know. What's causing the rashy pits? I'm good, my pits are good. My mine are all right. Wet though.

Did they have a, did they change your recipe or something? They don't know. There's been just recently, so it's not like this is an ongoing thing. Recently, there's obviously been a batch. There's gone wrong. They're truly sorry. Truly sorry. And there's been some batches due to a change in manufacturing processes.

that have been affected by this. I've seen a few girls comparing the labels from a few bottles ago versus now and they're seeing some differences. And yeah, the girls are showing like almost a chemical burn line. So they have changed the manufacturing process.

Does that mean they've done something to make it cheaper to manufacture and it's backfired? Yeah, yeah. Put like cat piss in it or something. So one girl, her name was Steph Buttery. Now that's a great surname. I'd marry into that family.

Hayley-Buddery. Sure am. It's a buttery. Biscuit. She's a buttery biscuit. Steph Buttery, she's 34, loyal Mitchum Custer for the last 15 years. But the new one, she was like, no, no, no, no, no. Red rash, armpits started smelling really bad. Now, that's not what deodorant's supposed to do. It's actually the opposite. It is. Correct me if I'm wrong. That's what it's supposed to stop. And antipersper and deodorant. Yeah, so Mitchardove said that they're recalling all of this. I thought

sometimes my person said they had weeping, weeping pits. Weeping pits. Weeping pits. Yeah, I saw one girl on TikTok say that it was like she'd had some sort of like rubbing rash from running and she couldn't put her arms down like to have her arms like ice packs ice packs in the pits well Mitchum says we want to reassure there's no change in the formula so they haven't actually changed what's in it but they've identified a change in the manufacturing process affecting one of our raw materials that has affected how the roll-on interacts with skin of some users so I think they'll be reviewing that it's all of them yeah it's all of them it's

It's ball and aerosol that have been affected. Right. Good thing you are, just using it in your armpits, right? Not your ball or your aerosol. So what are they saying? Just hold off until they change. I reckon do a temporary switch. Yeah, okay.

Wow, wow. Yeah. Or like go to a dairy that's still got roll on from like, I don't know, two years ago. God, you know it's rough a bay when you're pulling into a dairy. Yeah. But you're going to be paying top dollar too. You're going to be paying whatever that little white. faded sticker tag.

White faded sticker, yeah, 14 bucks for a roll-off. Play. ZM. Fletch Forne and Haley. Okay. This is a study that I didn't know

needed to happen. Okay. Out of the University of Plymouth, not new, old. Old Plymouth in the UK. Yeah. Involved 120 UK participants

and used computer-generated female faces, but we'll apply this to the male face as well. From various ethnic group, each face had 11 different eyelash lengths. Participants had to rate the face on health, like how they perceived the health of that person.

Attractiveness and sexual receptivity. Like, do you want to bang them, basically? Okay, yeah. Do you want to bang them? You might be able to look at a face and be like, that's an attractive face, but I don't want to bang you. So those are the three things.

Do they look healthy? Do they look attractive? And do you want to bang them? Which is the wording used. The most attractive and healthiest-looking eyelash length was one-third of the width of the eye. That's a long lash. I've got really long.

I don't have mascara on, so I'm being honest about my eyelashes. Mine, I've got long lashes, and they bang my sunglasses. Do they? When I'm at the dentist, you know, they put the glasses on. It drives me nuts because they're sort of pushed down on my eyes. Oh, I don't have that. I don't have that problem. I recently, at the last Friday, Indy put a fake nail on me.

How do you do it? How do you have long nails? I was like, you'd go to scratch your face and stab yourself in the face. It was horrible having long nails. The eyelashes banging on things would be, yeah. So one third, the width of the eye. I've got a little thing. I'll get you to measure my eye and we'll see if I'm bangable.

Wait, so if somebody wants to have the perfect lash length. Yes. They should, what, trim their... Like if they're too long, like should you be trimming down to a third of your... I trimmed one eyelash the other day, which is seems absurd because everyone wants long lashes. But it was one at the bottom and it was so long down the middle. It just looked like a... Yeah, it's kind of rubbing on it.

Your upper lip. Yeah, it sort of was... Keep getting in my mouth. I was not going away. So, people with much longer lashes, like the big falsies. You know, oh my God, one of the funniest things I've ever seen was a chick who had those huge fat bar lashes on. You know those huge ones

that looks heavy. Yeah. On the shot over jet in Queenstown. Oh my God, it was so funny. Her eyelashes kept getting caught in the wind and her whole eyes were being pulled up. It made me laugh. So people with big, long kind of fake-looking eyelashes

did come across as more bangable but less attractive and lower rating for health. So people with the moderate lashes that we're referring to more attractive, were the most attractive. Very short lashes. People saw it as a sign of poor health aging. Short lashes.

What have Vaughn and I have good eyelashes? Gives a lot. Yeah, you've got, yours are straight but long. Okay. Vaughn? Glasses on. Real short, he's got short ones, isn't he? Like, kind of short and spiky.

Like, spiky. Dude, they do poke straight out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they're real spiky short. Not a lot of curve. So I'm the most bangable, I think, would say, and you guys look, like, you've got, You've got poor health

Got problems Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley From the unmoderated comment section This is the top six Our attention span is dwindling Now this might be a surprise to you Or maybe not

Because it's not so super obvious everywhere Especially because quite often during our meetings You're on your phone, Vaughn Yeah, that's because the meetings are boring Yeah, he would pay attention if it was exciting. Yeah. Or quite often during the show you're on your phone. Yeah, the show's a bit boring.

Are we boring you? I think it goes a bit long. Okay. Yeah, right. You think just a punchy hour. I reckon just half an hour? Half an hour? Yeah, okay.

Tight 30. I still think that even if we got down to working half an hour a day, you'd still be on your phone. Yeah, yeah, definitely. It is a problem, eh? No, it is. So Microsoft Research showed the average human attention span dropped from 12 seconds

to 8 and continues to go down. Right. So 8 was a little while ago, pre-pandemic and ongoing. They believe it's probably lower. More like a 6 now. Right. Is that because there was a change to the

I don't know when it happened, the 8 second goalkeeper rule. So the goalkeeper and football can only hold the ball for 8 seconds now and it used to be longer. And they say maybe that's why because people's attention to spam was like, come on. Go, go, get it back in the field. Get it back.

Yeah. I'm bored. Change. So I've got the top six ways to get your attention spanner. Who was saying before they saw a video and you basically watched a lady draw? I think it was Carwin. What was the story? She draws?

Yeah, she, you know, those like really nice paint pins? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, did you see those the other day? Oh, I know these things. We're house stationery. Yeah. And so she, the one that I saw last night was, um,

pieces of watermelon. She was drawing pieces of watermelon. And because the lines are like so repetitive and in the same movement, it calms your brain down because apparently the worst part of our brains is the talking. So when you're watching videos,

he's talking, when you're talking to people one-on-one, you're talking, it's all about the talking noise. Whereas watching these videos, you're just watching the same movement. Does anybody else while Carlins talking just want to go on, they're fine? I'm shopping online.

I'm just looking at a shirt. Yeah, I'm just looking at a shirt. I was, I'm just looking at a shirt. It's got distracted because of the eight seconds, Carlway. It's the talker way. Also, terrible news for a medium such as ours that's just talking. Yeah, well, maybe we should get out the paintbrushes while we're talking. And we can do a live stream of us doing watermelon paintings while we do the radio show.

We could make some paint noises now. Okay. On that nice thick, grippy paper, eh? ASMR. I can so many people just change the channel. I love. well the sound of all sorts of things on a thick like cartridge paper

yeah it's good stuff pencils everything well anyway I got the top six ways to get your attention span up number six on the list watch some paint dry yeah you actually can see it change if you watch closely enough and long enough you can see the drying and the spreading I've watched enough paint dry we're gonna have to lock our phones away

during this top six aren't we yeah yeah number five on the list of the top six heyley's on his top six ways to get your attention span up That wasn't even on purpose, was it? It was a bit. Watching a kettle boil. That always takes ages when you're standing over there watching it. But I like it when it rattles a little bit at the bottom.

When he first gets going, I was like, I'm awake. I'm awake. What do you mean? A bit of hot water spurts out on the bench. Yeah, and it gets loud and you're like, man, he's boiled quick, but he's not. He's just warming up. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six ways to get your attention span up. Watching grass grow.

Shit, that's a long way. It's a long way. But you know. But you're training yourself, aren't you? You're training yourself. Yeah. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six ways to get your attention span up watching ice melt.

I saw one yesterday. Was it the... Yeah. You get a treat. Yeah. You get a little tube, like a vase maybe. And you fill up with ice and you put a little Diet Coke or whatever you want in there. Your little treat could be a beer.

A little fridge soaky bar. Yeah. And then you put it in there and you have to work. A fridge sig. Diet coats are a fridge. Yeah. They are. And then you can't...

You wait till the ice melts, and you've got to work that whole time when the ice melts, then you pours, you get a tree. You get your tree in the middle. See, that would be better for me if you froze, and it wouldn't work for a diet Coke or a can, but if a chocolate bar, you freeze it into the block of ice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And so you can only get it when it melt. That would have such a long time. Otherwise, you'd just dip into your Coke early. I'd just put three ice cubes in there, do you know what I mean? Keep it low. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you've cracked the system. And I'd heat up my Coke can.

You know what I'd do you know. So then you'd get a nice warm. Coke. Number two on the list of the top six ways to get your attention span up. Not watching TikTok. Let's face it. Oh my God. It's so bad.

Where is it? I think our attention span, we've got too many options. No, except our TikToks. Watch our TikTok channel. Well, yeah, watch our. Otherwise, like, it's really bad for you. It's just a lot of talking here.

Carlson talking's the problem. Yeah. And number one, on the list of the top six ways to get your attention span up. Ooh, there's something happening outside. Is there? No, but see, that was a test. Now I'm disappointed looking at the window, nothing's there. Number one on the list is don't have distracting friends.

Okay. Well, this is the end of us, isn't it? As a trio. For the end of our attention span, that's the day stop. Play. ZM's Fletch, Ron and Haley. I actually cannot believe that I'm about to introduce this guest because I have been a, well, 35 years, she's been in comedy, and I'm 35 years old.

Eddie Isart is on the show. Good morning. Good morning. So what? Were you born in 89? 89, yeah. I started in 86. It really should be 36 years.

Yeah, so I started one year before you were born. And you probably saw a very early show when you were half a year old. I don't think my parents let me watch your comedy until maybe a little bit later. But Dress to Kill is one of the reasons I got into comedy. I love your storytelling comedy, you know, as opposed to your one-liners. Right, yeah, I don't really have one-liners, do it? I mean, I'm just a child of Piketon. I actually, when I went to seven out of ten of their gigs 11 years ago, the O2 in London,

and I did, they came to the point right at the end of the last gig, where I happened to be standing next to them all, and everyone else wasn't there. It was really weird. I'm like a sad fan that just said, I come a job ago, and they were standing in front of a man. I had to do a photograph for someone who'd made this dead parrot.

I said, can I thank you guys all for my career? Without you, I wouldn't have the career. And then Terry Gilliam said, well, we want it back. Just a funny life. Now, you are coming to New Zealand with your show, Ediezer,

the remix tour, which is reflecting back on 36 years of comedy. Does it feel like it's been that long? No, it doesn't. But then as you get older, I'm very, very old. I'm 109 now. Oh, you look fantastic.

You look like. Yeah, darling. Well, that's the thing. As you get old, if you jump to light speed on the age, you're looking good at it. But as you get old of the time, just goes faster and faster. I suppose if you're having a good time, if you're not having a good time, then it goes slower. Do you remember

there was a woman in, as it, Chechnya? You know, the oldest person in the world is always changing because they do pass away, unfortunately. and she was a Chechen woman and they said to her what was it like being your 115 what's it like? She said every day has been hell

oh that's not good but I that is what she said it was just like oh right well end of the interview thank you very much and have a good last couple of years enjoy the interview

miserable life yes that's what it seemed like but I have chosen to have a good day well my dad said I was always on holiday and now I'm doing stuff that I really like doing and I have been doing the stuff I like doing for a long time and, yeah, I try and make myself love in the remix because I am remixing Death Star Canteen is there

and I do say this and you go, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, what's Definitely DeMorya doing in this scene? And so definitely DeMoreau makes it into the scene and I like it. This is definitely a great show for people that have been following you for all of these years. So the greatest hits. Yeah, the greatest, would you call it the greatest hits? It can be a greatest hits, but it's a greatest hit's remixed. It doesn't go where you exactly think it's going to go.

I just want to touch on, because it is a reflection, I guess, of the last 36 years. And I don't know, maybe you get this all the time or maybe you don't. But The Riches was one of my favorite bloody shows. Ah, yeah, we loved doing it. It was, that was great doing that. And I stood around and I had to talk as Wayne, as Wayne, as Wayne Rick. and to get in the American accent and stay there, I stayed there like this, so I talk like this,

but after the show I would stay in like this. So I go to the shops and I do the thing, you know. And then I got done for jaywalking, and I was saying, but what, jaywalking? And I gave him my Los Angeles driving license, California driving license, and I thought, I should have given my British license and gone all British.

Then I wouldn't have got a ticket to see what it got on paperwood. That was my passing out ceremony for being in the accent. So, yeah, I love doing that, and it was great, and it comes, and then we did two seasons, and we end up as a cult. Yeah, I know, yeah, it's always those shows that get cut, that are such high quality and they get cut way too soon that they do become cult classics. So I'm glad that it is because I love that show. Yeah, we're on the 19th season of Grey's Anatomy. 19th, I'm just saying, a bit of averaging out there. Yeah, so no, some of it would become really good and go on and do great stuff, and ours didn't quite happen.

I think I've always, yeah, I've never quite landed in that place where they, and then it ran on and everything was good. So I've had to, I have to just fight my corner. That's why I tour in French and Spanish and German. And I've got Hamlet touring as well now and running my others. I think I have to keep setting up things as you're unusual because I just don't think anything's going to land in my lap and really work and just go on working. You know, I think that's what the fates have decided.

I don't believe in a god, but the fates have said, Well, you're going to have to work for it. Go out and work for it. So that's what I do. Do you, because obviously this is, I mean, reading all the information, Eddie is the remix tour. But you also go by Susie now. Like on stage, do you have a preference?

Or it's, I know that you've been kind of like anything and everything. Yeah, well, I put that at stake. But prefer Susie. Don't mind Eddie. Prefer she heard. Don't mind he, him. You can't get it wrong unless you call me Arnold or Sabrina or something like that. and my brother goes from calling me Eddie

then Susie, then Susie, then Eddie and my niece is called me Susie and say that he's... And I said, no, it doesn't matter. My director, Salina, she calls me Eddie and she wants to stay on Eddie. And Eddie was a found name because Edward was my given name. So I found Eddie and I found Susie. So I don't have a dead name.

Susie, thank you so much for chatting to us and you can see Eddie Isard, the remix tour in November, Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland. Very excited to have you. Thank you so much for chatting to us. No, probably. Eddie is on.com. You can go to a very easy place to go.

Oh, I've actually got a website as well. Yeah. It's my name.com as well. It's just the best of us. We have these websites, Eddie. It makes it all work. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley.

This is a study. It's from America that has revealed how Americans are borrowing money from family and friends. Okay. And little bits here and there, you know, can you cover my power bill, dad, Mum, can I borrow some money for this?

Can I borrow a bit of that? My brother, might I, you know, trouble you for some money? Resulting in Americans borrowing $52 billion off of friends and family. Oh my God. $52 billion. Wow, that's not even credit card debt or personal loans. That's the loan of mum and dad or friends or family. So the most common person to borrow off is of your parents.

Yes. Grandparents, oh, siblings second to that, grandparents third down, your friends. Yep. And then your partners. I've definitely borrowed more money off of a partner than I have my grandparents. Is that true? I don't know.

Is that true? Is that true? Or am I lying? I know they've borrowed money off my grandparents. I borrowed money off my parents. Yeah, same. I got given money from my grandparents. Like they paid for things.

Oh, did they? Yeah. My dad's parents did. They paid for my school uniform because it was $1,000. $1,000 I know, it was Will darling designed by Barbara Lee Oh, darling, private school uniforms

I always thought Our school uniform was just a blue hoodie With the emblem screen printed on You could get that for way cheaper And now I just do it yourself Yeah, and it shows It'd be slightly off blue It shows that that was your school uniform

And mine was wool by Barbara Lee Oh, they froze every morning Yeah, yeah, oh you were a sick kid Yeah, character building Well I went to a public school year You froze in the morning What was you was made of wool? Mine was made of asbestos.

So this is so much money, but I want to know now how much money do your friends owe you right now? Maybe there's a particular friend? Did they work out, is there an amount? Like, I know there was a... Average borrowed was 300 bucks roundabout. Oh my God, that's still a lot of money. Yeah, I got into a habit. I think when I first, because I came, like when I first started earning money and I had lots of friends

It weren't earning money. I would often, I'd give, I'd lend a bit of money. Well, that's the struggling art. The struggling artist, yeah, totally. You'd have, like, theatre friends that were like, I can't do this. But it looks like communism and it smells like communism and it's communism. But no, I don't know. No one owes me money now.

Right. Other than Vaughn still owes us that beer, because remember we did rounds. Oh my God, Vaughn still owes us like a round of, yeah, exactly. No, I know. Haley owes me money, actually. I actually do. Does she. Because we got in for some good airfares.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he chucked them on his car. I was just like, if you. If you don't do that. Tie Hall. Let's not forget, he's getting points from spending the money. I will be taking that into consideration when I pay back. Our friend Dr. Shawnee minus a purchase that I made for both of us.

He minus the points I was getting. Yes, that's right. And you know what I think that's fair. It's unbelievable. At the time you were using his family duolingo account for free. Yeah, right? Well, it all comes out on the wash with friends, doesn't it? It all comes out.

Yeah. So this is what we want to. asked this morning, I-800-a-diles at him, text a 9-6-96. How much money does a friend owe you? And maybe it's become a little bit of a point of contention. Oh my God, especially when you lend money to a friend and then they say, oh, I can't pay you

back, and then you see them on Instagram or whatever and they're on holiday or they're drinking. That's the worst. New jacket. New jacket. And you're like, I'm a priority. Hang on. And this is exactly why you don't loan friends money. I'll say it right now. Because then you get resentful and then it gets awkward and then you have to have that conversation. We're like, hey, how we're

going with that money. Okay, call us 0,800,000, M-Texter, 9-696. How much money does a friend currently owe you? The average, in America, they owe their friends and family $52 billion. That's how much they're borrowing from friends and family. Yeah. An average of about $300 per person, we want to know how much money does a friend currently owe you? And is it, has it caused a bit of a riff? Has it caused a bit of a tiff? Yeah, I tell you what.

A lot of people owe their friends money. I owe you money, Fletch. How long before it becomes awkward? I'll just start dropping hands like, oh, I could have had that money in an account earning, you know, interest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, you know, earning, I could have had it in a term fund. Oh, you'll come over to my house and be like, new, new, new, that's new.

Did you need these new curtains before you paid me back? Do you need curtains? Do you need curtains or not? No, like, yeah. Man, my sister borrowed $20,000 to get her and her family back from Australia, but six days before mum passed, she told me it cost me $26,000 to get home and she won't get me home

as the sister never paid her back and made the decision not to allow mum to let mum go home to die. What? Okay, there's a lot happening there. There's a lot to unpaid. Also, how does it cost $26,000 to get home? Like, furniture and stuff.

I don't know. And a car. Are you bringing a car back or something? It feels like we're bringing back a dog. The breakdown is, the mum said, the sister borrowed $20,000, and the mum said it actually cost me $26,000 and now she won't even let me go home to die. And now there's this debt outstanding from the sister

that's supposed to be repaid to the mum's, like, a state. Oh, God, it gets me messy. It gets me so messy, doesn't that? My friend owes me 1,500 British pounds from university. That's 20 years ago, I reckon with compound interest it's a house. Yeah, I reckon it's 200,000 now. Yeah, that feels about right. Yeah, at least.

1,500 British pounds. Well, you got $3,000 New Zealand dollars right there. Straight away, yeah. 20 years ago? You're kidding me? That was a house back then? Yeah. My ex owes me $4,000.

I think I'm more likely to be present for the second coming of Christ than I am for $4,000. So you might be right there, hon. That's a right off. Yeah, it's a right off that one. It's an interesting way I'm getting messages in from like couples or people that are like, oh, my boyfriend and my girlfriend owes me this money. It's like, yeah, someone said my partner owes me $180 plus flights to Australia and the cost of doing one of the great walks, but I'm in no rush because they make a lot more money than them.

I just kind of go, yeah, I just pay for that. That's just you paying for... Maybe they've got clear financial boundaries. True. You know? That's healthy. Yeah, good for them. That's healthy.

My exos, my dad, $10. Now, is that just $10? Or is that $10,000? I think if it's $10, as a father, you'd be happily pay that $10 to never see this dude again. Dude, or girl. I don't know. We don't have a gender here.

Yeah. It would be so funny if you broke up with someone. Maybe, and if they did you dirty, you just hound them for the rest of their life. You want to me, $10? Okay, it's $10,000. They said I missed the K. Oh, okay.

So they went, they wrote, my exos, my dad, $10, lull, but then there's no gap. So I think they might have gone for a K, and then, but there's a deletion there somewhere. Yeah, there's a deletion in there. Okay, so, I won't be getting that way, $10,000. $10,000. That's so much money. I lent, we lent my sister-in-law about $10,000 in order for her to move here with us. She thinks that we earn more than her, therefore she shouldn't have to pay a bag.

No, that's not how it works. Yeah, that's not how a loan works. Yeah. It's not your business. Yeah. That's so much. money. I had a friend who asked to borrow $1,000 to her partner gets his Kiwi Sabre. It's been five months. Now I see her stories going to Australia and buying a new car and liking post

of celebrities on Instagram. And I can't even get a straight response about where we're at with that $1,000, mind-blown. Small claim, can you take these people to small claims? Or would you have to have a contract or any kind of like evidence that you lent them this money? I suppose you could do a bank transaction and be like, I lent you this money. Yeah. Weird. Okay. Money is such a crunchy topic, isn't it? Yeah. My friend who I looked after 20 years ago, he had cancer, I gave my bedroom.

His mother says he wouldn't be here without me. Did what I had to do. He says he still owes me, of course. No. But I say, no, you don't, even though it was out of pocket to look after him. Oh, you're doing these things. I'd chuck in a couple of bucks for you two. See, they're saying it, but they've texted into the topic where a friend owes you money.

So deep now, I think there's a little... There's a little financial bug in the back of their head that every now and then Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like, oh, it doesn't owe me some money. It would be nice if he took me out for a steak meal. Yeah, and he thinks about it all the time like how when we're out and about, I'm like, man,

four knows us that beer, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we did rounds, we did around. I know, I'm good for it. I don't feel like you are. It feels like I am. It feels like I'm good for it. Well, and yet there's not a beer in my hand. You know what I mean?

It's a weird one. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Very soon, we have been promised, Shannon's best hack yet. That's the promise. And the ongoing saga and series it is Shannon's hacks. Shannon's hacks. Now, we need to talk about Tyca Waititi and Rita Orra, who are married, who are both hot.

I saw them the other day on social media at the Oasis concert. Yes. Really? Yeah. And I saw they did a photo shoot with the cast of bloody Joe. Jojo Rabbit. No, no, no, that was just a throwback. Oh, was it?

That was a throwback six years ago. Oh, I thought they got back together and hung out. So, they are calling this new project, exciting, weird and potentially disastrous. They are developing a musical, you know, I froth a musical, about the Firefest disaster. Wow. Now, if you don't remember the firefest disaster, what's the name of the doco? The Firefest doco. There was a couple.

Fireland? Yeah, there was the Netflix one and then was it. They went on Prime as well or something. The greatest party that never happened. That's the one I watched on Netflix. So good. So good. It was about this guy who was going to put on this luxury music festival on a private island,

sold all the tickets, but nothing had been planned. And then all these people turned up. And they got like a luncheon sandwich and sandwich. Lunch and sandwich and sandwich and just horrendous accommodation. And then he got like charged for it because it was all just... He's been... He's out of prison now though. He's out of prison now and he started...

planning another fire festival, right? That was his first thing. The guy's mad. So Tyker and Rita are developing a musical. Like, what are the songs? Who was meant to play there? Was it Jarl?

Jarl? Like, do you think his music will be on that? Wasn't he involved a bit more than just performing? Yeah, they flew him over to the island and did all those promo videos with models. That's right. And Victoria's Secret models and Kylie, Kendall Jenner on the island.

There was heaps. There was heaps of people that social media influences promoted it. Yeah. The original lineup was Disclosure, Major Laser, Pusha Tea, Blink 182 and Migos. That's right. So Fire Fest the Musical, oh my God, I just love this, is slated to be a musical comedy based on the life story of the famously disastrous

2017 influencer festival co-founded by Billy McFarland. That was the guy, and rapper Jarl. So he was a co-founder Jarl. I still follow the guy. Do you remember the guy from the documentary Andy King? It was this off-sider and he was up with his bottles of water and he's like, I don't know how to get it and he's like,

you get down there and you do what it takes for that bottle of water or something and kind of implied that if he needed to. Yeah. Yeah.

It was going to happen in order to get the bottle of water. What have I got to do? Yeah. What have I got to do? I still follow that guy on Instagram and post up every now and then I'm like,

that's right. Okay. So there's no production timeline yet. It's in development. Right. Oscar winner Paul Epworth, who has worked with both Adel and Rihanna are going to write the music.

and David Corrins, who is the set designer for Hamilton, is signed on to design the sets. Wow. So they're not like, this isn't like half-a-s, it's happening. Super Bowl commercial veteran Brian Buckley is also on to direct. So it looks like Rita and Tycho are just kind of the producers of the thing, but it's going to be written and want by other people. That's a dream, though.

You make a, like a show like this that just travels broadways around the world forever, right? You just make bank. Yeah. Well, Lin-Manuel Miranda says to be doing okay. And the South Park guys. Yeah, yeah, Book of Morgan's still going.

I just love musicals. Do you know the wildest musical that have ever come across? I didn't see it, but I have friends that did. Was, once were Warriors the musical. We did that. Really? And there was a song about cooking. Okay, right.

Wow, we did that. And like, Gracie, I mean, like, oh, well, that's not a musical. That's not a musical. I'm not. It's just not right for it. This sounds like it's going to be very funny and very good. Play Z-M's Fletchhorn and Haley. If you see a faded sign

at the side of the road that says 50 miles to a Shannon's hack. Shannon's Head, baby. We've actually been promised you know we're not getting in the both. We've really got to get in and record an intro and do it properly.

That was perfection. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, one day, maybe 2026. Now, she has said this is her best hack. So what a bold claim to make. Really bold. Yeah. You, in fact, Monday, you said, guys, this week, my best hack ever. And she made us wait until a hump day. I don't know.

Long tease. Is this going to be the hump of the week? Maybe. Yes. This could be the peak. This is the buildup, now the gentle floor. This is one that I think I will. Oh, Shannon, that's not appropriate.

Clim hacks. How am I going to talk to my children's climax? This is one that I think I will actually use Oh wait so the rest of them you've just been shitting on us You've just been frowning, you've been wasted Our time and the listeners time Well sometimes I think they're good And then you guys shit on them and I reflect

But this one I'm feeling good about Okay Here we go see So you know when you go food shopping Impromptually Oh yeah And you haven't got a reusable bag with you Yes

It's so annoying And the purpose of this hack is mainly if you're traveling or you're someone like Fletch and I where you walk to a supermarket. You know when you travel and you're just like popping over and you haven't got a reusable bag, the paper ones rip,

the reusable paid ones are expensive and then they're a waste. And you've already got 12 of them at home. You just, this is a situation. Okay, I find myself exactly in right now. I've got to pick up groceries on the way home. Me too. And you don't have bags.

And I forgot my reusable bags. Well, I was in this situation. Last one I paid 39 cents for the paper bag. And you've got to hold the bottom and you're scared the whole walk on. And you're scared. And the walk is horrible. It's really awkward. It's uncomfortable.

I have got the greatest hack. Here we go. What I want you to do is take your suitcase with you. This is the, no, wait, stop. No, your suitcase is a great solid vessel with wheels. So walking home, it's easy. It's like there's old lady carts. Yeah, just get an old lady car.

But I'm saving money. I don't want to spend money. Because you've already got a suitcase. My suitcase is ginormous. Well, full week shop Can you imagine how perfect this would be Fletch, you live in the city?

I do, and do you know what? I've seen people that do this. How are you supposed to remember your suitcase if you can't remember the reusable bags and you go to home? This is what I mean, you're travelling, you're out. If I'm travelling, why am I doing groceries? I'm eating out.

To save money. This is a money saving hat. Oh, you're saying on holiday, you're in the hotel. You've got your suitcase. Then I've got to unpack it at times. Do you not unpack already? No. No.

and I just rummaged through. I love an unpack. But yeah, just imagine if you live centrally, you walk to the supermarket or something. Walking home with a suitcase is the elite way to travel with your graceways. Someone's got a way better idea. Someone's going to try and steal that, though, because they think it's full of your luggage.

Someone's got a way better idea. They just text them. They just take their washing basket. Oh, yeah. That's good. That's a great idea. That's a great hack. Shannon, bringing you a suitcase.

And if you were doing, if you were doing south. So I guess if we could just, that could be probably text of this. You want a text of the week that? I want to be a text of the wake. Yeah, I don't know. It's pretty, If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says 15 miles to the 770s hack.

No, no, no. They get an intro, you don't get an intro. Boo, Shannon, boo. Shannon, this is not, you've set it up so high. Boo, someone just messaged in. Boo! Four o's. No.

I'm not going to the supermarket. What if you go into the self-checkout and you've got to put up your suit case on that? How embarrassing. You're going to fold out your suit. Your suitcase and the self-checkout. I'm literally going to do this. It won't fit on the little thingy where you put it. Someone said they invested in an old lady cart.

It's awesome. And then you don't have to open your suitcase. The old lady-cars rule. How good is putting your washing basket in your supermarket trolley? Like if you've got a big, like a rectangle one, not a circular one. I just leave it in the boot of the car. Trolley to the car. Yeah.

That's perfect. I don't have a washing basket, so I've never thought of that. You're in luck if you live in Dunedin. because there is a second-hand old lady cart brand new though for $12.50. Oh,

that's on Trade Me. Someone's died, haven't they? I bought Fletch one of these once for his birthday and he put her and left it here and then it got chucked out. Fank Louis Vuitton, wasn't it? That's embarrassing.

Well, pick up to Eden and trade me if you want to score yourself a bargain there, $12. Otherwise, I mean... Someone said I think we've missed the whole point of having arms? You need arms for a suitcase. I'm acknowledging the arms, but I'm talking about I have a washing basket sitting in the boot all the time so handy because it actually doesn't take up any room technically

because if you're going to put something in the boot, you just push it in the washing basket as well. Yeah. Some people buy those baskets too that they can take into the supermarket and then just put it straight in the car. Yeah, it's a two because we got it just because we got excited. Can I counter? If I send you a photo of me with my full suitcase in my metro supermarket,

will you give it three stars? No, I'll just be him. Somebody said, you might as well just carry all your groceries home in a shirt like a child who has too many oranges. That's how I collect my eggs. All right. Kangaroo pouch. Two?

Two. And we're going to do the outro. Two? Two. Is it a two? Two, two? Two tops. She's disappointed.

Look at the look of disappointment on her face. She's really upset. She told us it was her best. It's honestly whatever worse. See a faded sign at the side of the road. That's just two stars for Shannon. attacks two stars baby

play zm's Fletchborn and Haley Play ZM's Fletch born and Haley Fletcher's brainwashed me He's brainwashed me And now he's taking no ownership over it On gas lighting of sorts

Yeah All right you two put your squabble down Okay There's a couple online Hayley's blaming me for some brilliant life choices And I won't have it This is just insanity Carry on.

It is weird being blamed. The blame felt bad, but it's a good, anyway. Anyway. Not for now. It's personal. A couple have kind of solved this big problem. Now, if you're in a relationship and it comes to birthdays and, nope, you're both shaking you're in a relationship and it comes to a birthday and you're like, what am I going to

buy this person? Because they buy themselves everything they want, that could be one situation, or they're just perilously hard to buy for. With this couple suggests, and it's what they do, is that they float their birthday gift giving and it doesn't have to be around the birthday. Example,

you're born in winter. Summer's rolling around, you're about to buy yourself a new fishing rod. The missus says that's your birthday present. I'll pay for it. I'll pay for it. I feel like my parents used to do this a little bit. I'll pay for that, but that's your birthday present for this year of being

34. Yeah. Or you get a big You're like, that's birthday and Christmas, done. I love a birthday Christmas combo. And you get a nice big gift. And you're like, that's birthday and Christmas. February, and so if Christmas is there, sort of like, nice. High five, meet in the middle, I don't feel too hard done by it.

But if you're like born in May June... You can't do birthday Christmas. Birthday Christmas is spread too fast. It's a 17 split and bowler. I'm almost equi, right? Because I'm October to December. Yeah. So I used to get quite a lot of like, well, that's a big thing, but birthday and Christmas.

And you get to Christmas day, you're like, And you already had it. Well, that's what this couple does as well. They do a little something for the birthday. Like a $20. Yeah, like a little. Or flowers or dinner. Yeah, flowers or dinner or...

But so, say we were going out and I see you and you're paying the rates and I'm like, okay, that's your birthday present. Paying the rates. Yeah, well, this is why you're not in a relationship. Money's tight. The rates as a birthday... I'm sorry, that this is... Wait, this is our... We can't even afford the rate.

Who owns this property? Collectively, did we own it or? I'm not a joint owner. We both own it. Well, that's not my birthday prison. We're struggling. We're struggling. We're struggling.

Imagine saying that's your kids. You pay rates. You're like, that's your birthday in Christmas. But live under this roof. You want to live in this property? You want to get the rubbish picked up every week? Yep. And the roads?

Bins are here. The pavement taken care of. I've just paid for the insurance on this place. That's birthday and Christmas. You like riding your bike on the pavement. I've just paid rates. That's birthday Christmas. You like watching Netflix every month?

That's your birthday present. Jesus. So you could do a year long, if they did very much enjoy like Disney, like if they're a Disney person, buy them Disney Plus for a year, that would be an acceptable birthday present.

It's your birthday. And it lasts all year. So that's what they do. Right, they float the gift giving. Yeah. But of course, your birthday is your birthday,

but if you're buying that now, okay, that can be for your birthday. I'll pay for it. Yeah. So someone messaged, my husband bought me the Dyson Air Wrap for $1,000. Remember, that's very expensive.

That's a birthday and Christmas. A few years ago, said Christmas and Christmas, birthday present for the next two years. For the next two years. I was joking. That's $1,000. That's $250 per birthday and Christmas. That is a lot of money.

I mean, it's better than rates for your birthday, isn't it? It is a crap cat. We're in a cost of living crisis. The rates. You know what? You've been such a good boy for birthday. I'm going to pay for the insurance too. Thank you.

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. So there are Jennifer Aniston. We've long been obsessed with her dating life, right? Like, everyone's always like, well, she's going to get married. Way back to the Brad Pitt days. The brady days. Yeah, and then.

Justin Throw. Yeah, they were together for a few years, isn't they? Yeah, but they were they going to get married or something? I can't remember. Anyway, and then she's like, kind of famously single. Yeah. And we're always like, oh, yeah, she's got a boyfriend. Well, she did a blink and you miss a post on Instagram saying,

thank you, Summer. It was a 17 photo dump, you know, like. carousel. We're scrolling along. There's her in rollers in a chair. There's a dog. There's her with Adam Sandler. There's her post-jim workout. There's her getting her hair done. Dinner with friends.

Then there was one, I don't know. Everyone was like, soft launch. It is the back of a man's head looking at a sunset. Oh, God. I hate when people do this. This is Odyssey. The games people play. I love that. And everyone's like, You think we didn't notice Photo 17, Jennifer? that is none other than Jim Curtis, rumored new boyfriend. Oh, that's what I was looking up.

Who's back of the head of we got here? He's a, he's a hypnotherapist. Oh, no. He's hypnotized her. Yeah, he's bloody, hypnotized her. Hypnoticed, life coach and author. If you reckon every night, he's like, and she's like, and she's like, boogie, pookie, poohy, pique, poohy, and she's like,

yeah, yeah. How good would that be dating a hypnotist? Then just, they just be like, it's 8.30, you're going to touch to bed. You've had all sort of. for the morning and sleep up. And then you wake up and you just have the best sleep

either? Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. And you're like, thank you. Apart from the chicken thing.

Apart from the chicken noises. Yeah, that would annoy me the chicken thing to be exhausted. Like, why do my quads hurt so much? I've been squatting down.

Why am I constantly dancing like a chicken? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he previously dated Bethany Frankl. Oh! $3. If you've ever listened to a podcast

where she voices an ad, you'd want to strangle her. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Apparently they're in a great place bringing out new sides of her. But yeah, he's like a life coach sort of mentalist, hypnotherapist. But it was a 628,000 followers on the grand.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He has some good advice. My mission is to help you heal and thrive by upgrading your AM. What is that man? Oh, look, I don't know. Anyway, the soft launch, we got talking about this. And producer Shannon was sharing, this is a whole world of people planning on soft launching on social media. Oh, the girlies do a rollout.

They will plan. Like, I had a friend who recently started seeing a guy, and she was like, all right, this week, we're going to do a corner of a hand on a table. And obviously, I'm on a date. I love when somebody shares a panel and they're out on a hike and there's just a little arm of someone they're with, enough to be like, oh, who's that?

It's someone new. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whether it's to make someone jealous or not. She totally would think, like, okay, well, I'll show a situation where I'm clearly not by myself. Yes. Like, oh, there's a fireplace. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know, I like a fire. I hate shearing a fire. I like a fire. I like a fire or a fire all by the cell. But yeah, no, she did a full rollout plan, figured it out, and then eventually, yeah, face reveal a few weeks later. Yeah.

I just realized I was involved in a scheme of sorts. Oh. Oh, yes, you were. I don't know if I should say it. I don't know. I don't think you should. Okay. Oh, I don't like this one took a person.

just a little, maybe a little vein on it, you know, yeah, this is what I'm doing. You get away, he's mine. That's my man. I was a bit tipsy and posted a couple close up and made it my profile shot. Now I can't change it. That is a hard launch. It's a rock. It's an accidental hard launch.

Hard launch. My ex accidentally launched his soft piece when he uploaded the wrong pick to Snapchat. He was meant to be having our kids overnight, but his mother had the kids while he was on a double date. I saw an elbow in long brown hair and I knew. Oh dear. Sometimes I delete the Instagram photos with my husband and them

and then re-upload them later just to keep everybody guessing. I love that. That's so good. God, you are a, that is trouble. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Haley. Play ZDM's Fleshworn and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do do do do do do do do do.

Did do tip to dip, dip, dip, did dip, do do do do do do do. Do do do do do do. Hey. Today we're looking at a Japanese. company. This week, the entire week is themed companies that had different names when they launched. So we're looking at a Japanese company today, launched after World War II and the rebirth and rebuilding of Japan. Because, remember, they were naughty in World War II. They were so naughty. And now they're our ally.

Good friends. Good friends. Friends of the show. Friends of the show. Friends of the show, the country of Japan. Yes, absolutely. Invite us. We will be there. Yeah. Absolutely. Sushi of the day. Haley loves Japan. Haley loves Japan. Fletch loves sushi. Vaughn will maybe never come back because he'll, of course, live the Pokemon lifestyle. Yes, of course. In the Pokemon district. In Mario, okay, around the streets and just generally become a big, huge white guy in Japan. Yeah.

The name of the company in Japan was Tokyo Tushin Kailgo, which translates to Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation. Oh, okay, so they made electronics. They made the early products, a rice cooker prototype, flopped. Japan's first tape recorder, the type G, and eventually, the first transistor radio is made in Japan out of a bomb-damaged department store 20 employees, not Mitsubishi.

Mitsubishi Electric Kawasaki. Kawasaki. Not Fisher and Pankle, that's a New Zealand company. Kawasaki, no. What is? Samsung. Samsung's Korean.

Sanio. Sanio, you're circling the pipe, but you're not quite. Bingo. Tokyo, Tushkin Kugo was a mouthful, even in Japanese, translated to Totsuko, but they didn't travel well overseas. and he noticed that Americans struggled to pronounce to remember the name and it sounded like countless other

Japanese industrial companies at the time that didn't stand out so they needed it short, they needed it catchy and they did it globally friendly and they used Sony which is a combination of sonus that is Latin for sound tying to their audio products and Sunny which was slang for a bright young boy

gosh darn Sunny Jim giving it a youthful approachful vibe and they came up with Sony in 158 and changed their name. Wow. Yeah. They were the first Japanese company, one of the first Japanese companies

to use Roman letters and give a foreign-sounding name. So Roman letters is just our alphabet, basically. Right. Every other Japanese company used Japanese symbols at the time. And they were the first Japanese corporation to adopt in an English name as well. And then Sony was launched.

They've done well. They have done well. Haven't they done well? Haven't they? I think about that every time I turn on my place. I think they haven't that well I've got their noise cancelling headphones They're amazing They're so good

Have you got the um I had a baby Yeah Oh I even got the latest I see people with the latest ones And I'm like oh jealous But I've had like babies in front of me on planes Warring nonstop

And I never hear them Yeah And yet you still you can't hear them But you still shush them It's interesting Well yeah sometimes they've got my head foes The vibration still hit him The sound waves and he shushes any

Sushes any sort of sound wave Yeah He's doing it on behalf of the rest of the plane. So the Sony TR-63 was a pocket-sized transistor radio released in 1957 under the new branding, became a global hit, especially with US teenagers. Because they could listen to the radio wherever they went. They could go, or they could listen to Rick Dees' Top 40 at the beach

with their friends or in the car with their chubs. So Sony just went from there. Amazing. TVs, Walkmans, Play-Stations. Yeah, right. They got in there. Good stuff. So today's fact of the day is Sony was originally known as the two.

in a certain pop stars life have a listen her song is called Give Me More for a reason because all you people one is more, more, more, more.

Leave her alone. Your lucky she even performed for you, bastards. Leave it alone. Please. I... Yeah, wow. This is, like, YouTube in 2007. This is my last year of high school, like, I was

obsessed with YouTube. It was just like the weirdest stuff on there. And at the time, on YouTube, it had two million views in its first 24 hours, which was massive. For that time. So, so good. This was during when Brittany was full peak, like, breakdown.

Is this when she shaved her head? Shaved head, umbrella thing. Umbrella attack of the car. And lucky she's fine now. I mean, honestly. You see her dances, are you like, okay, what is happening here, right? When she was going through, leaving her conservatorship and all the people were there, like, protect Brittany at all costs.

Like, this kind of resurf because everyone was like, Chris Crocker's been saying it this whole time He's been right the whole time We mocked them Now she Actually in 2021 Sold the original video as an NFT

Those non-fungible tokens No idea whether they're Even though you can just look it up on YouTube and see it Yeah so someone bought it for 41,000 American dollars Paid Her And then she used that to pay for all of her Transitioning from Chris to Kara

Oh right Used the money, yeah, basically. Did we speak to her at some stage? I feel like years ago we did? Yes. About this? Yes. Pre me, for sure.

It was a long time ago, yeah. Yeah. So this YouTuber has since gone on to make adult films. Oh, really? Yeah, adult films. Right. Has also recorded her own music. to have a bit of a foray as a pop star of her own.

And, yeah, but this video would still be the thing that should be known for the most. But 2007, 18 years ago. Is that right? I've done the wrong math there. 18 years ago. That is 18 years ago. I didn't leave high school 18 years ago.

Silley little pole. Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly, silly that a silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Today's Silly little pole.

little pole. If you're saving leftovers, what do you do? Wait for it to get cold before refrigerating or put it in the fridge while it's hot? Nah, I was told years ago that, because everyone doesn't want a sweaty beef. Everyone doesn't want a sweaty beef so they'd let it cool down, but that just has more time to sit at their optimal bacteria growing thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they get a hold. I'd actually never thought about this, but I always let it cool on the bench because I'm worried that I put a hot, because I've got the those glass containers. Yes.

And I feel like the heat... It must be no. It must be not. Well, they're just, you know, better... Glass-privile. You aren't they, than plastic? Yeah. Well, no, I've got microplastics in me.

You've got microglass. I've got glass dust in your brain, dude. I put my mince in a plastic bag. I'm always worried about putting my hot leftovers on the fridge and the cool fridge. I'm worried the glass will smash. Oh, and it's tempered. It's fine. I don't know.

It's like pouring hot stuff into a pyrex. It's fine. Here's an AI overview. It's generally not better to let... leftover's call completely before refrigerating. Instead, you should refrigerate them as quickly as possible to prevent bacterial growth. What I'm hearing...

Sorry, I'm just hearing that I was right. I was right. Well, 73% of... Haley was right. Thank you. 73% of people are wrong then because they wait for it to get cold before refrigerating and 27% put it in the fridge while it's hot.

Aren't we learning some food safety here? This is really helpful, actually. We're helping the people. April, at Amia, said I would like to put... Weird joke for one. Weird joke. I needed to put leftovers away immediately around, so go back for seconds or thirds,

and then basically there was no more leftovers left, and it's got nothing to do with the honest, just the fact that it was out, and I thought I should eat it because I could see it. So you're inadvertently being food safe, but also restricting calories by locking it away from yourself, and you'll have some more of that tomorrow, little piggy. Rachel said, I ain't got time to wait, lull.

There's too many rules with food. You just got to pick a couple and try your best. Haven't had food poisoning yet. Touch wood. Fair enough. Adam, this sounds like Gen Z don't know basic food safety. Well, I'm not Gen Z and I didn't know that Mel said I stick it in the fridge hot

Because no one has time for this shit And it's the fridge's job to just suck it up and deal with it She's expecting a lot from her fridge Yeah She's asking a lot from her fridge Taylor, I'm going to forget about it If I don't throw it in the fridge straight away This is also reminded me to hang out my washing

It's sitting in the washing machine Thanks guys Good a busy brain here You've got to start that washing again If it's been in the washing machine that long It depends how long it's been in there Less than an hour If anything over an hour

Or maybe two hours I might But like a real quick 15 minute. I didn't overnight. You don't have that full cycle. Ooh, that's mangy. I didn't overnight and I reckon I can smell it. That's what I was going to say, that's why you smell musty. I do smell musty today.

Yeah. I know. She musty girl. Sophie, like 75% cold. Just leave it in until I'm heading to bed. Then it's fine to just slap that in the fridge. Marzi said, just because I'm lazy so it sits out. Massey pan.

Rice goes in the fridge immediately though because I'm weird like that. someone's a chef, Eliza's a chef, she said putting it in the fridge while it's hot isn't the right thing to do according to food safety at work. But when I'm at home, I don't care, I just do whatever I want. Well, the council aren't going to bust into your home and just... They do actually. They'll show you down the issue with derating

until you're not allowed to make rice anymore. So for silly little poll today, we said to you, if you're saving leftovers, do you wait till it gets cold before refrigerating or slam it in the fridge hot, and 73% of you wait for it to go cool. I counted 79 all rights today. Fletcher, I believe that's a new personal record. Oh, fuck off. How many of those did you count?

79 of those, too. All right. Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us a rate and review. Oh, fuck off. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
