From the ZDM Podcast Network This is Fleshwin and Haley's Big Pod Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse The Biggest Brands at the lowest prices I have, I've actually seen this quite a bit on Instagram where TikTok becomes rather refined Refined TikTok Refined TikTok

Instagram Reels Yeah Instagram Reels Where people are showing how they are using ChatGPT or AI during Job interviews and they'll be Zoom job interviews and they'll have their little Zoom there

and then they'll have their phone like tucked to the side with ChatGPT open and then they'll be using ChatGPT live to answer the questions they're being asked in interviews. Okay. And employers are saying, we know you're doing this and sometimes it's so bad if they don't have

their phone there they'll see people going so, hey Lee, what you know what makes you passionate about this job? Thank you. Tick, tick, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click. What makes it, chat, TPT, tell me what makes you be passionate about this. Well, I mean, they're not using, they're not using AI right.

I would have mine on the microphone setting. This is what I've seen people do. And I would say, we're about to be asked some questions. You listen and reply in text. So this is what people do. And then the employers, what I've seen on Instagram, where a TikTok becomes refined, is people in the, people who are doing the interviewing will go, share with me your screen immediately.

And they go, yep, hold on in one moment. and they have to screen share to show that they don't have a chat-chip-T tab up. Or just from the start of the interview, they're sharing them so that they can't do it. Yeah, and it's because now, like, with Zoom, like, many job interviews are remote. Even if you lived in the same city, it's just easier, right? That they can just, like, run through a bunch of interviews without people having to come in. How hard? Should we role play?

You've got it open. I've got it open on my phone. I was going to use the voice. Okay. Oh, yeah, great. I was going to use the voice. What job should he be applying for? Butchers apprentice.

A butcher's apprentice. Okay, hold on, hold on. Okay, I've got to set JetGPT out before we start. Okay, yeah. Hey, Alan, it's Vaughn here. I'm about to go into a pretend job interview where someone's going to be asking me questions. You listen. I'll leave the microphone on.

You listen and feed me some good answers for the job I'm applying for, which is at a butchery, being a butcher, okay? So that's just transcribe me now into J-TPT. I'm just weird that you call That you've named you Alan, it's weird that you've Well I, it's an AI But the eye looks like an owl So it's al

So it's all So it's all so it's more formal Okay I'm also using chat chitpete I'll be a quiet win man here Since I can't actually listen live Okay Oh so he can't listen live

So you still have to Are you paying for a jade level subscription To chat GPT? He'll read it out to me Okay Okay so you still have to tie See how are people getting away with this? I don't know

Okay Okay so if you want to type type it in and then I want to see you fill as well while you tie it. But I want to see how quickly you can turn this around and how you stall. Okay. Okay, Haley, you've got the first question. Vaughn, Ellen? Yes. Hi, how are you? Good, I'm Grant.

Hi, Grant. Hi. Now, thank you for applying for this job at Sprow Butcheries. Yeah. I just want to know how do you work well under pressure? Well, pressure's always made diamonds, as my grandfather

used to say. Yeah. And, you you know, coal turns into diamonds. I work best by staying calm and organized in a busy butchery. You've got customers waiting and lots going on. I focus on one task at a time. Keep a station cleaning. Communicate with the team so nothing slips.

Pressure motivates me to be efficient. Yeah, just you could really... I saw the switch. You saw the switch. We really saw the switch there. Okay, thank you, Warren, for that answer. I just want to know, do you have experience making sausages

and what is your preferred method? Well, you know, there's the old saying about they don't like to see how the sausage is made. He's going to start everything with the old saying. But I will say, I haven't had formal sausage-making experience yet, but I understand the basics, and I'm really keen to learn the proper techniques. I know attention to seasoning, consistency and hygiene are keen,

key, and I'll pick it up quickly with some training. Can you describe the different... Again, I feel like I heard the switch there. Vaughan, can you describe the different primal cuts and how you would break them down? Oh, primal cuts. Some of my favourite cuts are the primal cuts. I will say, however,

I feel like, again, that was the switch. The primal cuts depend on the animal. But for beef, you're looking at chuck, rib, loin, round, brisket, shank and flank. From there, you break them into subprimals and then retail cuts, like taking the loin into sirlines, strip. Ten loin steaks. I understand the structure and where the main cuts come from. It's actually pretty fast. That's actually, that is because you just have a little stall.

Yeah. Thank you for that question. Yeah, I mean, primal cuts is a passion of mine. I mean, I'd work on the performance sliding from personal to AI. To reading out. But they obviously can see this for a mile away. Well, gee, it was barely subtle. It's so quick, though.

That's so quick. Do you want to hear Alan read out the answer? Sure. Oh, you're what voice? What voice have you got? Imagine it was like the devil of doubler. That one, Vaughn. Keep it clear, but not too textbooky,

so it sounds like you know the basics and are keen to go deeper. So he knows that you don't know. Option one, general knowledge shows awareness. the main primal cuts depend on the animal but for beef you're looking at the chuck rib loin round risky I want to give Alan the job I think we give Alan the job

he's got a great butcher's voice he's got a great butcher's voice what kind of steak are you looking for today Alan could get it from the producers but he's sexy voice hey I went through and picked I went through and picked why I just needed in a right I best friend Alan's gonna say thanks Alan if you do

have a job interview on Zoom they know your AI or Google your answers. Maybe, like us, have a little practice. It's smoothing between your own voice and AIs. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Fletch Fawn and Haley, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly, silly that a silly little poll, silly little pole, silly little pole. Today's silly little poll. Today's silly little pole. Today's a little poll is, what's your ideal party? When I host at my house or when someone else hosts?

I don't know. I don't mind hosting, but you know, everybody has to leave my house early if I host. I always kick people out. There needs to be a pre-established, expected time of departure. Yes, like I threw a party on Saturday, and 4 a.m. turned out to be the expected time of departure. And then I left at about 11.30 p.m. And then you guys kept going.

Very many hours. And really, it felt like it was... It got a second chair. It got a second wind. Got a second wind. And then didn't you end up with like eight cars at your house for the next... The last one got picked up last night. Wow, okay.

But that's host responsibility. Yeah, it is. No one drives. No one drives. Brilliant. Take their keys off them. Well, 75% of people said it's when someone else hosts and 25% like to be the host. Okay.

Oh, really? Yeah. I don't mind being the host. I like it. I like it because your bed's right there. You're already home. You're comfortable. You know the lay of the land.

You can have. up yourself start doing the dishes kind of passing around the trash bag yeah yeah yeah yeah get done with that done with that tat tat ta uh some feedback on it denise said uh somebody else so i can leave when i want yeah fair cool um step uh i've gotten to that age where i am the one hosting i tell them what time they need to leave by i've not had one complaint and they love that i'm honest with them the majority of time it's close circle of friends and they know what i'm like yeah 100% beautiful yeah that's good stuff and then no uber for you yeah yeah You're home.

Yeah. And take care of the big stuff. But then in the morning, you know, tottle around and finish up the rest of the cleaning. That's right. What have. Victoria said, somebody else, no stress, no cleaning, no mess. Can arrive and leave when I want.

Claire said, I don't drink. Would Ray, would way rather help clean up and drive home than have to clean up my own house? So she's not a drunkist. The key is to get everybody to just get you, get a couple of big black sacks and everyone cleans up. and they drop the rubbish off on the way out the door

and you're clean. I was doing dishwasher loads at 3 a.m. It come 4 o'clock when everyone left, the house was tidy. Gorge. It's the way to do it. Taylor said, I have a rooftop Auckland City apartment

with a giant balcony so people like coming to mine. I'd rather go to somebody else's though so I don't have to clean. When do you think we're getting the invite to Taylor's? In a city. A rooftop. In a city.

Yeah, with a big balcony. Earl, what are these people on? Posting at your own places is way better. You can drink more, responsibly, of course, and you get to choose what you eat, and you can tell people to go home. Yes, you may need to clean more, but being the host definitely outweighs

all the negative ones. Jess, nothing better than sneaking off to bed when everyone's drunk and leaving them to it. What, in your own home? I would say leaving them at somebody else's home so that the noise isn't also in your house. Yeah, yeah, yeah, true. This, Fiona's nailed it here. Nil, none, either. I don't want

to party. 9 p.m. bedtime. I don't want to party. I don't like it. No, I'm not partying. I'm torn, says Lauren. If I host, I don't have to find an Uber home. But if someone else hosts, I don't have to clean up. Yeah, fear.

Kaya says, why is there no option for solo party at home? I love a solo party. We should have just put solo party in there. And Courtney said, I host equals I can set the time menu and guests. No awkward small pork talk with people I don't know or like. You don't want awkward small pork either. Keep the pork chunks nice and sizable. Yeah, big.

Also, no driving means we can keep the drinks flying on both hubby and I can enjoy. Not to mention the leftovers for days, if there's a food aspect. I hate some of your beef yesterday, Vaughn. I've been living off of party leftovers for ages. I love it. Also, not my best beef. Oh, it was really, it was delicious. Yeah, it was nice, but it wasn't my best beef.

Oh, it was the talk of the party. Yeah, I know, but I need to do better. Okay. I set myself a very high bar when it comes to beef. You do, you do. You've got to do your beef right. Well, we are. You have a silly little pal.

What do you prefer when it comes to a party hosting at your own house or when someone else hosts and 75% of you like when someone else hosts? Play ZM's Fletch, Born and Haley. My supermarkets had an upgrade, guys. Tell us about it. Because, you know, I live in the ghetto. It actually didn't, I didn't dawn on me until producer Shannon mentioned this,

but a lot of supermarkets around the country don't have the trolley stops. Yeah, when I went down to rural Southland, I couldn't believe I was like, this is so low security. There's no man standing there. There's no trolley guards. You just get to walk into the supermarket free game. Mine and Vaughn's just had them removed,

and now we flow in, lovely, openly from the street. They're annoying things that hit your legs. To-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to. But now ours flows, doesn't it? Yeah, I was surprised to see them get rid of them in this day and age. Because it's also the new world, and they've all kind of done that in a nice indoor-outdoor flow. You know what I mean?

It's my point to say there's still a to-to-to-to-a-to. Yeah, of course. That's what that's Pekin-Say. But where they don't have the toqa-tocca-tocas, they normally have a big security guard, don't they? Yes, yeah. To stop you... No big security guard.

There's the sushi lady at the gate. I think she might be a ninja. Undercover. I think she does have those stars. She's got those, you know, they put the soy sauce in the little plastic fish, but they're bigger versions with ninja stars. Yeah.

Slice your throat. Yeah. She'll just... Throw your right in face. She'll just... Yeah, yeah. So my supermarket's had these for ages, the to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to.

To stop you pushing the... trolley out backwards. Yes. And now what they've done is not only have they upgraded, they've put an extra row. So it feels like you have to walk for about 100 metres through the toka, toca, toca, toca, which is, you know, it's a bit degrading, isn't it? Well, wait, so how many toca, toca, toca do we talk? So double layer of toca toca-tok-tok-tokers.

They had one. Oh, ours has got two now. What, you mean double deacres? So three, no, there's like four on each one, isn't there? So there'd be like eight or them, eight or so. So you go tukut-took-took-took-took to get in. There'd be six on each one. I think you'd rock in a 12.

Double height? Normally they're at like, what is that kind of thigh? Thigh. Mid-thigh? Yeah, mid-thigh. And so, you know, you'd go through it and go, to-took-took-took-took-took. Well, now they've got ones at shin height.

So there's double... Tuck-took-took-took-took-took-tok. But what they've done is they've put a foam thing. This is what I wanted to talk about. They've put a foam, like a... No, it's like a... It's like they've shrank. It's like, maybe it's like a tiny pool noodle, but it's covered in like a vinyl.

Okay. And so you go to-to-tok-tok-a-tok. Like when those hip-thrust things, you put them around a bar at the gym. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then so now it'll go tuk-took-took on your, but it's not padded at the thigh height, but the shin one's padded. So the thighs are still taking a whopping. So it's sort of a to-to-tok-tok. So, talk-tto-tok.

Yeah. Gosh. I mean, that's... I'll do the thok-a-thok-thok-thok-thok, okay. So the troll is coming up and it enters. but it's not for the trolley, it's for your shins, isn't it? Yeah, but the trolley would be hitting it, I assume. Yeah, I guess so.

But when you don't go in with a trolley, you bear the brunt of it all, yeah, exactly. The trolley is your guard, when you're going in basket. I do like going backwards through them. Like sometimes I'm like, that's why they've gone double. They've gone double. It's going to be so much harder. If you forget a basket, you're screwed now. I put my arms like this and I go.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you sort of swish them out of the way. Yeah, yeah. I saw someone jump over it. try Thieve, but he, it's quite a big jump and he dropped all his goodies and it was really embarrassing for him. Yeah, that's so shame. I wonder if they've made it longer than the world long jump camp. Oh, so only one man in the world could do it. And if you could, they'd be like, congrats. Shadokadokka. That's how you say congratulations. That felt real

right. Okay, so wait, the world record for the men's long jump is 8.95 meters. That's a lot of shit off the supermarket has nearly gone, I'd say half the way of the world-long jump champ with the toka-tokin machine. You come out with internal bleeding and just being whacked at the same point. Either side of this is there sort of a high display of specials? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

See, I'd probably just plow through the specials if I was going to do that then. Rather than try to jump the docketofer. Yeah, look, I'm not here to, you know, hypothesize shoplifting board. No, but I'm saying what they need to do is get some high, they need to as long as that as long jump They need a high jump champ.

They need the high jump, high. Maybe those festival fences. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do yours not have those, like, security things? Like the, you know? Yeah, the little scanners that would be, B. Well, yeah, mine has those as well.

They've got those on the exit. On the exit, yeah. Yeah, well, I'm just saying now they've added some phone pads to the to-tock-tokers. So enjoy. No, it's broken again. Oh, no, it's broken again. We can keep on talking. This happened yesterday.

I reckon keep on it. And then what happened is because I'd press the button five times it When it does catch up It plays it five times Mine has also now broken Can you just do three hours of talking? What song was due to play

I could just play it off My Heart Radio on Acapellarate ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley From the unmoderated Comment section This is the top six Yeah, gidday

Oh kiti-ho Get on my Get on ma'i Got them up. Hines Watties, owned by Kraft Hines, is looking to reduce the amount of New Zealand growing peaches that it buys for canning. This is terrible news,

especially for our Hawks Bay Orchardist, who have been told some of their peaches aren't going to be needed this season. Of course, you beautiful boy. Summerfruit, NZ CEO, Dean Smith, of Smith family fame. Oh, wow. We're very proud of our cousin, Dean.

He's like, well, this kind of sucks. Not his worst, mine. You know, orchard investments a long term. And all of a sudden, they're like, well, not going to use as many of peaches. Hey, pull you head it, dickhead. Let's not forget what he's founded in New Zealand in Hastings, right there in Hastings in middle of the picture.

In 1934, and it was acquired by Hines in 1992. And actually inspired this song many years ago about peaches. Hit it! Hey! Beaches come from a can. They were put there by a man in a factory town. In Hastings. A little way

I eat beaches every day Some soaking molders in the shade So they're scaling it back Not exiting New Zealand But scaling it back I didn't know this Wadi's have previously moved supplies offshore Using apricots from South Africa

Right You'd like that? I know There are no apricots Like the South African apricots They are just superior You love to pork your core at the orchid Park in the orchard.

Porch, hot, hot, and glab and apricot. That's right. And asparagus from Peru. Peruvian asparagus? Peruvian asparagus. What does it make, our whee, stink less? Otherwise, I'll have my asparagus. New Zealand grown.

Thank you. Cousin Dean encourages New Zealanders to vote with their wallet by choosing New Zealand-made canned peaches. How will we know? Apparently it will be labeled. Oh, good, okay. I will only be from here on out. I swear to you. I shall only be why

How many peaches do we have? We have Millions of peaches Peaches for me Millions of peaches for free Not really Millions of peaches

A couple of dollars A can Quite a look Millions of peaches From overseas Looka! Okay, we went early Carri-only wearing early

The Trump sex signs Your peaches are Australian peaches Yeah, good-day Mike Number six on the list Their hats have corks on them Of course I didn't even know peaches had hats. Peaches do have hats.

They do. Ozzy peaches have hats because the sun's so harsh. Oh my God, of course that makes complete sense. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six signs. Your peaches are Australian. They're driving a Holden Commodore. Yeah, my.

Again, I didn't know peaches drive. Yeah, no. Well, they do, yeah, because how do you think they get to the factory from the orchard? Car? A Holden Commodore, yeah. And then what do you do with all the cars? Because obviously they take the peaches who have driven in. Yeah.

And then they put the peach in a can. Yeah. That's what matchboxes are, those little cars. The Peruvian and Asparagus drove it back to the orchard for next season. Oh, right, okay. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six signs, your peaches are Australian. They just said something racist, but don't think it's racist.

Yeah. Don't say that. Don't say that. I'll punch you out of the mouth. Number three on the list of the top six signs, your peaches are Australian. They're listening to Jimmy Barnes. Oh, of course. Yeah, Barnes.

They're listening to that in the Commodore. Well, they said something racist in their hats have corks on them on the way to the factory. Banzi. He's hanging on, isn't he? He's clinging. He's hanging, man. That voice just keeps getting rasper and raspberry. Number two on the list of the top six signs your peaches are Australian. They're already making excuses

for losing the bledders low. I'm completely ignoring the All Black's performance from the weekend, by the way. No, no, no, no. The only thing that made the Warriors lost palatable was that the All Black's lost by more. Yeah. Yeah. But go the girls.

My girls didn't. Black foon's unstoppable. How many losses is it going to take before everyone starts ignoring the all-blacks? Are those black? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who have hardly had to mention, but continue to romp it at the World Cup. And number one on the list of the top six zones,

your peaches are Australian, they just got really drunken Queenstown and made assholes of themselves. Yeah, classic. Real classic. The Queenstown police still do that Facebook page where they put all the crims on. Remember that?

That was so good for so many years. I don't know. Wow, that is today's top six. Play. Z-M's Fletch, Vaughan, and Hayley. Play Z-M's flesh, Vaughan and Haley.

I reckon I'm in a spot of trouble. And Vaughn, I reckon you might have noticed this as well. On our drive from out where we live, Vaughan and I live quite close, to work, it's like there's not much there. It's just sort of bush and mowed away. Then a couple of roundabouts and then we're on the motorway and then we're at work.

Five in the morning. It's five in the morning, nothing. Like if you wanted to go and find temptation, you'd have to go and find like a 24-hour McDonald's. Yeah. But in the last, have you noticed this for it? In the last month, a new cafe has opened. Oh, yes.

A bakery. The bakery. A bakery. I know! I have been great, easy, right on the side of the motorway, like, just before you get on the motorway, right on the side of the road, adequate parking. Yeah. The lights on, every time we go past, I have a little peek at the hot cabinets.

There's hot cabinets, there's pies, there's sausage rolls. It's like, what temptation are you talking about? At 5 a year, it's open and no one's in there. You could rock in and get a fresh one. You could go, like, and like, you know, when we work these hours, sometimes you wake up in the morning, you're like, man, I'm just hungry, I'm tired, I'm rabid, I don't want my pros, my musley or something. But there's nothing we can do about it.

You're just going to get to work? Nothing's open. Yeah, because there's no temptation. No, no, no, there's no 24-hour McDonald's on the way to work or whatever. There is now a bakery, and I'm like, this is dangerous. there have been multiple times that I've been driving past us and be like there's a light on

and there's a light on and now I just looked and I saw hot cabinets and this morning I was like there's pies and then I was like this is great for the show because you know

sometimes we have events or concerts where the next day the mahim it has to be done we've got to turn up but we feel a little air of dust and now it's broken arrive at pies

but have you haven't been in you haven't seen up close the selection of like Are there slices? It's a full bakery. I mean, there's a V-fridge. Do you know what I mean? The genius part about it is later in the day when the traffic starts to build,

like people are just going to be crawling past it. And don't tell me, you wouldn't be like, man, I'm hungry. It's going to be another half an hour to work or longer. Pull in. Yeah. Really smart from the location from them. Really good. Because it was just, there's just nothing else there.

And it used to be this little shop that's never really became much. And then was, had like some wood. Watermelons outside. Right. Now, guys, next hangover, next big night we have, we've got to arrive at work. I'm bringing pies. Yeah, right.

But also, it cannot become, you know, once a week. A thing. It can't become a thing. No, I know. Especially when you're buying a pie and you're not hung over or you're not going home. You're going to work at 5 a.m. That's something different.

Like, I might get on the daily pies. Do you know what I mean? And then that's a slippery, slippery little slow. Yeah, because then you're following. That's following that up with a sweet treat. Yeah, well, I'm going to get a lolly cake while I'm there. Yeah. I think what I'm going to do is maybe at some point this week, maybe I'll treat myself on Friday.

I will pull in early morning and I'll test the goods of this place. I'll be painted. Yeah, because I'm, yeah, I don't dare tend myself. Well, shall I bring us all in a pile? Yeah. You know, just this once. No, because again, slippery slow. No, just this all once.

We'll have a pie on Friday. Oh, no. What? Friend of the show, Chris, that's just pretty average of that bakery. But they've just started. Let's give them a chance. No. Let's see what the training wheels on.

Also at 5am, I'll take average. I'll take an average pie over no pie. You expect less when the sun's not up. Yeah, totally. You'll lower your standards when the sun's not up. It's the same with sleeping with people. As the sun goes down, you're like, look, it's starting to get late. I'm probably going to have to take it from an expected seven to a possible five.

Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. Hey, listener, give us a text right now, 96696. If you, in this month of September, have, it's this bloody 16th today have already been through a breakup whether you've initiated it or you've been dumped. In September?

In September. Okay. Or if with two weeks left in September you're considering it. Because apparently September is the most popular, they call it break-up season, September, the most popular month globally.

I was going to say, is this a northern southern hemisphere thing. Well, the article in reading is a northern hemisphere thing because it's like you've come to the end of summer, your summer flings kind of wind up and you're kind of getting back into a routine I guess of like knuckling down for the winter

but I've also read another article that it's the exact same thing we've been through winter and now we're kind of like I'm actually ready to go out and explore and have fun be single for summer yeah it's just the basically be single for summer it's the change of season thing that is sort of and I feel this like at the end of each season more at the end of winter and summer

a mindset kind of a reset you know where you're like, right, I'm going to get back into this or I'm going to do this or change up this. And relationships are a bit of a casualty of that. Right. And September is the most popular month. The most popular month. Someone just messaged an eight year relationship ended within this month.

I mean, I get it. I'm feeling that at the moment the need for a reset pre-summer. Yeah. You know what I mean? To get some routine back in the life. Today I'm going to do groceries. Are you? In person or online.

No, in person. Right. In person. I'm doing groceries. I've been turned to the online shopping for everything apart from produce because I don't, I don't trust them to pick my prologes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I've just, I've sort of been out of routine of like meal prepping or like going to the gym or, you know, giving a shit. I mean, I've tried to invite you to the gym, but you keep turning me down.

Yeah, I know. I'm like, why would I want to do that? Does that sound fun at all? Messages in. Not me, but one of my friends just fly. I flew home from the UK after a breakup. Decided to end my three-year relationship the first week of September, been thinking about it for ages, turned 30 in January and want to start fresh.

It's that fresh, start-fresh thing that people are doing. It's sort of a spring clean. Yeah, spring clean. Yes, I ended my five-year relationship last week, spring cleaning time. Spring cleaning time. Also, so you don't cry on Christmas Day. Oh, yes, you get it out of the way, you heal over the next couple of months come Christmas. You're doing all right.

And you don't have to buy them a Christmas present. And you're saving a bit of money. Soaving some money. Yeah, yeah. Yes, with my baby daddy the first time, but got back together, but fully ended it. Oh, okay. Oh, they did a bit of bouncing. Did a bit of a...

Wow. So, okay, so it is. It's a thing. It's a thing. We're doing a September reset before summer and good for you. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. It was the Emmys yesterday. Right, yes, it's always on a Sunday, so it's our Monday.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I love the Emmys. I reckon they're always way more fun than the Oscars. Do you know what I mean? The last was a bit stiff And maybe there's like too much pressure on it And TV shows are just more fun They're so much more fun

And there's some great moments One of my favourites is that Nate Baggetzi Bargetti Was the host Who is he? He's a very, very good comedian His stand-up is top tier

He actually came to New Zealand Not too long ago And he did a work in progress show And it was like flawless He had like notes I don't like that Okay It was amazing.

So he ran a donation clock. He was going to do a $100,000 donation to the Boys and Girls Club. And he had it on the board, basically. And if your Emmy speech, which is kept at 45 seconds, went over, he had subtract $1,000 from it. Every second. Every second. Every second was $1,000 gone.

The studio came out on top. The beer with the amher. of like Emmys at one that day. I mean, Hollywood loves a story about itself, don't they? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. But it was an incredible series. The last couple of episodes of that show

were just incredible. We've talked about that so many times. Absolutely flawless. Brian Cranston's amazing in that, Seth Rogen, just, and it's beautifully shot. It is, it's incredible. That's on Apple TV if you haven't seen it. Yeah, and Brit Lauer won for lead actress in a drama series

for Severance, and on the back of her acceptance speech, thing it said let me out, like she'd written it like her iny, had written it for her out and Travis Tillman, who we spoke to as well, won, didn't he? Friend of the show. Friend of the show, you'd say friend of the show. Tremel Tillman. Tremel, sorry, yeah. He won for supporting actor. Yeah, studio was outstanding comedy series, the Pitt outstanding drama series, which I haven't seen. Oh my God, the pit is so good. I love the pit. And Noel Wiley won. Yes.

Because did you see, was it BuzzFeed posted celebrities at their first and latest? Oh, I've seen them do that before, it's pretty cool. And there was literally a photo of Noel Wiley in the late 90s when he was on ER. Yeah. Stephen Colbert won for Outstanding Talk series, and the audience was chanting. Yeah.

Like Colbert, Colbert, because he's been cancelled, basically. So then my favourite actor is ever, Stephen Graham, who plays the dad in adolescence, he won, and everyone was elated. But making history was, oh my God, what's his name? I've just lost it. Owen Cooper.

Owen Cooper, who was the youngest ever Emmy nominee for adolescence. And here's his speech. The Emmy goes to Owen Cooper. Wow, it was just so surreal. Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple years back, I didn't expect to be even in the United States, never mind here. It may have my name on this war, but it really belongs to the people behind the camera. And Stephen and all that, all the cast.

So, yeah, and I hope you all have an amazing night and good night. He's so... He's amazing. How old is this kid? He's 15. Wow. So on to a day. Because you imagine if you'd won that at 15, you'd be like, yeah.

Suck it! I told you, Mrs. Milden Hall! I was going to be... So, like, at 15, youngest ever outstanding supporting actor and lead, you know, like nominee, incredible. But there was a really sweet moment with him and Jake Gyllen Hall before the ceremony. I think everyone knows that Jake Gillen Hall's my top number one. You know, like, I'm a top number one. I'm nervous. Now I'm feeling nervous.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. So, Jake Dillon Hall, like, surprised him and they met. I have a present for you. Oh. It's just a lucky duck. Oh, wow. Gave him like a tiny lucky duck. I just came by because he's just been talking about me too much. I just figured it would have stopped it. It's a cute video. It's posted it on their social. Yeah, you should go and look at it. It's very cute. But I think it was a really good Emmys in It just reflects, like, how good TV has been recently.

Also, like, it's a really good list of shows if you haven't seen. This is always the best time. If you're looking for a bunch of shows to watch, just go through the whole nomination list. Also, surprisingly, White Lotus didn't get a single win. I know. And everyone's like, oh, snubb, because they win, like, every year. They do win every year, but it was just an incredible year of television. It was, yeah.

So, yeah, like, you're so right. Go and look up the Emmy Award Winners list. Were there any shows on their? that you hadn't seen or heard of that won something that piqued your interest? No, I have felt quite vindicated by my television choices. You are, you have a fine palette. All of my favourite shows won, like all the awards basically. Oh, Hacks. Hacks won, Hannah won for supporting actress

and comedy series, which you've loved. Jean Smart won as well, and they've said that the next season, that they're filming at the moment, I think it's even out soon maybe. Oh, no, maybe not, maybe filming at the moment. That'll be the last. Oh, you've got to watch the whole thing. But go back to the start. Play ZM's Flesh, One and Haley.

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley Now in the UK apparently shoplifting levels have doubled since the pandemic Yeah And since the government changed last year It's gone up another 20%

It's like massive problem People are doing it tough And Gen Z are like Well I don't want to work in a shop If it's going to get like If I'm going to have to stop people stealing stuff I'm not why or why I'm not paid enough to stop them stealing stuff

Yeah I get that It's a bit too hard And people are like Oh no no you're young, you're supposed to be the people that populate the retail sector as employees because we the companies don't want to pay an adult rate to an adult who has the expectations of their salary. Yeah.

What we want to do is take advantage of a young worker. Yeah, for sure. Maybe before you're qualified or, you know, while you're young and you need a job that has this sort of flexibility. I thought they didn't want to work in retail because they're scared of people. Well, yeah, they are scared of people coming in and stealing stuff from them and then they're going to be like, oh, don't. I don't want to talk to them, let them steal it.

I remember when I worked fashion retail, and I was 18, 19, and I used to think it was insane that was in charge of a shop. Yeah, I know, because it was ridiculous. I think that when I walk down Queenstreet or something after worker at the weekend and you see people like opening up a gigantic retail store. With thousands and thousands of stuff in there. I know, or like when you see them closing up a store, it's like that's one person locking the door.

Like, what if you don't lock it? I would just be like, I might have to go back and check. Yeah. Like I just want to check like five times before I left because that is so much responsibility. Oh my God, yeah. I used to panic setting the alarm. Yeah.

You'd have to cash up because people were still using Billy Cash then. And then setting the alarm, locking the door, locking the bolt, pulling down the roller, and then you'd be like, did I do that? Or remember when I was in charge of the shop and I just didn't turn up. I was on opening at 10 a.m. And then at 12 o'clock, the second girl turns up for the 12 o'clock shift. She was like, the store's not open.

Was that in a mall or it's separate? No, no, no, it's its own standalone store. Yeah, because my mate was in charge of opening a store in the mall and when he didn't open on time, he got big trouble. Oh, yeah, because the mall's fine, you, eh, like if you're a store and you don't open. Yeah, and all the shops are open, you're just this roller door pulled down.

Well, that's all we wanted to ask this morning is what happened when you were in charge, whether it was a shop or you were in charge of something? Yeah, I remember the first time you ever look after a kid and you're like, but I'm a kid. I remember looking after my best friend's daughter when she was really, really young She was like, just take her to the park or something

And then she was up there on the Standing on this tower with a big slide down And she just fell off the back of the tower And landed on her spine Like on the back And I was like, I've killed it I've killed it The first time you left me alone for daughter

She screamed and then when She's in a wheelchair now Yeah, yeah, she'll never walk again No, no, she was all right But listen to learn Yeah She won't do that again No

When her mom came to pick her up She was like, Mom, I nearly died And my friend was like, as a parent, that's what you want to hear. That's like the first words from your kids when you can see them in. Were you in charge of the service station? No, I's never left in charge of the service station. Of course, so they knew better. Mum and dad used to leave us in charge of the farm when they'd go on their winter jaunts.

Oh, yeah. Never took us on their winter ja. Yeah, no. To Hawaii and the likes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or tropical holidays. Yeah, and that was full of calamities. Hungover.

Well, this is what we... Antics trying to move cows and stuff. Oh, yeah, looking after, like, animals as a kid? Okay, this is what we want to know when you were in charge. Maybe it was at work at a young age. Or at home, looking up to your siblings. 0,800, dials at eminent number. You can text through 9-696.

What happened when you were in charge? Well, we want to know what happened when you were in charge. Gen Z doesn't want to be in charge of working in stores. They're afraid of adults coming in, people coming in, they're having to deal with thieves. I get it. Because if you work in retail, like, aren't you just talking? I would like just let people take it.

Like it's not worth fighting in the way. We got jujitsu at our shop. And when it was of a design, a clothing store. Really? Those were expensive. Some light jujitsu train. You could choose karate, jiuitsu, taekwondo or just boxing, straight boxing.

I did boxing. Would they just let you forego those classes and just have like a crossbow behind the counter? Yeah, I had bought an illegal switchblade from Thailand and they said that'll suffice. No firearms, but sort of string propelled. still hand-to-hand combat. Yeah, yeah.

Knives and knives and... Any midi of a weapon was allowed. Yes, yes, yes. No, no, no, no bommie knockers at my work. I don't know that really, you've worked before. Yeah, yeah. Numb chucks. They were like, nah.

Numb chucks. Some stories in. I was in charge as a dog groomer, a dog poked its tongue out while I was grooming around his face and I cut the tongue. Oh, my God. It was blood everywhere. Okay, yeah. I worked at a sunglass retailer, and maybe someone didn't shut up properly.

And $4,000 worth of sunglasses got. stole of. See, this would be my worst nightmare. I couldn't be in charge of a shop. Yeah. Like, I'd do something like that. I'd just leave and they're like, oh. And then wake up at 2 in the morning and be like, did I lock the sunglasses? Did I lock that

sunglass shop that I work in? Yes. First time I'm looking after my godson, change a pooie nappy. Pooop's bright red like he's bleeding internally, rang the ambulance straight away, then proceeded to call the parents. Turns out he loved a strained beetroot. Oh, they've done a puree. They've done a pierre.

You've actually, legally, you put a little mark on their hand, don't you? Just to remind yourself. Yeah. When my older brother was in charge of my younger brother had a door closed on his thumb, the thumb was on the hinge side of the door, and the door was completely closed. My little brother was trying to annoy my older brother who's hanging out with his friends and kicked the door shut onto what was then. That'll do it.

A completely flattened thumb. That'll do it. Hannah, you were helping someone who got robbed. Who was in charge? Yes, who didn't. happened to me personally, but a couple years ago, I'm in Auckland City, I was walking home after work, so five o'clock

in the afternoon, and a bunch of kids had run into a sunglass shop, and literally seconds later, they ran out with the arm's bull, rushed past me. I hope they got prudders, do you know what, if you're going in. And I was walking past, and I see

there's a young girl inside, must have been an 18 years old, just stood there, looking completely pale in the face, and I walk in, no one else was in the shop. I'm like, are you okay? And she just burst out into tears. And I'm like, oh, my God, okay, all right, we're going to lock the shop. Have you called the police?

No, I haven't called the police. I called the police for her. I got her. I had, like, a fresh bottle of water, so I gave that to her as well. But, yeah, she just completely, like, had no idea what to do, obviously, like, minimum training as well. Yeah, I would know what to do. Yeah, I was not in my 20s as well. So I'm like, oh, my gosh, okay.

You get just two babies. There's no weapons. Yeah, yeah. Well, at least, yeah, you were lucky. that you, she was lucky you came along. Yeah, totally. And you could see why they don't want to, Gen C's not want to work in shops if this happens.

Yeah, too hard, too much, I wouldn't want to. Too much stress. Would we say Hannah is somewhat of a hero? I would say, I'd say, a hero. Let's give Hannah caller of the week to. I think there's a real heroic thing you do. Yeah, a bit of a hero there. So we're going to hook you up with a chemist warehouse price.

Home of the biggest brands, lowest prices. Well done. Thanks, Hannah. Bye, Hannah. Some of the texts I worked as a Pilates. Sorry, can we save Hannah as Hannah the hero? Hannah the hero. If she ever calls back, we'll save us Hannah the hero.

I worked as a Pilates instructor once during class, the fire alarm went off. I looked to the adults in the room for what we should do, and they were looking at me like I should be in charge. And I was like, oh, I do Pilates not fires. Sounds like someone wasn't there during the fire drill training. Yeah. Just run.

You got to get that. I'd say just panic and run. Yeah. This is pretty wild. I was unqualified with zero prior experience at 20 when I was given a job as being a nanny. I was immediately trusted with the lives of four children, family vehicles, very expensive ones, and just a credit card. Wow.

I used to just get lost all the time driving the kids around because I lied in my interview and I said I was familiar with the area. I wasn't. We missed gymnastics, swimming lessons. Nothing super bad, but I should not have been in charge of anyone. Could barely manage myself. How terrifying would this be? I've just bloody lost the text.

Guys, this is a... Oh, my brother and myself were left alone on the farm like Vaughn. When the September earthquake happened and we lived in Greendale, 10K from the epicentre. Oh, yeah? It destroyed a lot of the farm. Lucky we had awesome neighbors to help us with everything. Imagine you're there and your parents' farms just getting torn apart.

Just slips and... People came together, didn't they? Cows just slipping into cracks. That's how I imagine that. That's how I imagine that all the chickens getting sort of sucked into the earth. The earth opens up and the chickens just fall in. Yeah, there were just chasms of cows. No, there wasn't there that famous footage of those, that earthquake and the cows were stuck

because they were standing on a piece of land that like slid down the hill. Yes. Yes. And it broke away from them, eh? Yeah. They were just like, but I don't think Haley's imagining

like a vacuum The earth is a vacuum cleaner. Swallows up cows. Like some kind of Stephen King horror or something. Exactly, like sucking them into the epicent of the world. Started working at a bank

straight out of high school and the bank manager died. I'd only been there a couple of weeks so the branch was effectively closed because everybody knew him so well and they went to the funeral I was left behind to answer the phones I had to crawl around on the floor

because there were people banging on the windows telling me to hurry up and open but I was just like trying to stay out of you. I don't know no no no I don't want to open up My stepson was 18 and worked at our kids after school care The job was to check all the kids had been picked up and collected And then lock up They thought they'd checked

But no, there was a young girl in the girl's toilets And she was locked into the school by herself That's bad Yeah In the early teens I was responsible for opening a dairy on my own early mornings I used at one or two fresh cream donuts when they were delivered Never paid for them Young and good

They've just been delivered is it mock cream? I feel like it might have been in a mock cream. That's mock cream. They were eating a fresh cream. Well, they're not opening up at 4 a.m. and whipping cream. No, yeah.

When I was 25, I had to have triplets, and they just let me take them home. They just let a 25-year-old walk out with three babies. How are responsible of this government? You always hear people with their first baby, yeah, they're just like, what do we do now? We just walked out of the hospital with a human.

Oh my best friend's mom was really young when she had my best friend. And she said she left the hospital with this baby, and was like, what? And just like, got on the bus. Yeah, like, Where's the manual? Yeah, we're just like, okay. Yeah, I was a grad nurse in charge of a rest home at night.

I'd only just graduate. I was fresh in my nursing outfit. Oh, no. And an older man tried to unalive himself. Now, that's an interesting way of putting it. Can you imagine dealing with that? Yeah, no. When I was about eight and my little bro was five,

my quarter was meant to be looking after us. Instead, he snuck off to the TAB. So I grabbed my brother and I took him down to Fantasyland in Hastings, eight and five. Wow. Back then it was free and they didn't really care if a couple of kids were running around on their own. Mum eventually found us and, mate, she absolutely tore strips off my koro. But I got to know.

I got to know, did he have a good couple of wits? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Get a box drive. Yeah, perhaps. Hit the Guinella. Play Z-M's, Fletch Vaughan and Haley. Where was this in 2011 when I lived in a flat with five women who slowly but surely all acquired boyfriends? Oh, and one was a girlfriend.

One was gay. Okay. Okay, one was gay. All of us are quite, we took a few boxes. Yeah, yeah. Some were brown and some were gay. It was really, we're perfect cast for a show. On Netflix.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because this is amazing. So we received an email from Op. Opes, how are we saying this? Opses partners. Anyway, what they've created is a flat guest costometer or costometer. That is a checking and fun way to, figure out, if you have a flatmate

who has a boyfriend or girlfriend or partner staying and you're like, they have not financially been contributing, they've come up with a little website thing that you can use to work out actually how much you might be able to charge them. I love this. This isn't for the person that stays once on a

Saturday night. This is for that person that they've just started saying that won't leave. Three nights a week, hot showers. Four nights a week. And then you're like, he's been here for two weeks. If they're snacking on the communal snacks. Yeah.

Yeah, or you'd like cook as a flat, right? Yeah. And then you came up with another plate. Like, I'm hungus, malungus. Like, I'm not going to have enough food. We've all been in flats where this has happened. Okay, so it's www. OPSopES partners.

Dot.com. That needs a better UR.S. Yeah, yeah. We need to be tightening that up. Like flatometer.com. Yeah, yeah. I think maybe this could become a full-time thing. Okay, so you go to this website and we'll work this out.

Okay. With a fake scenario, first question it asks you, how many weeks has your flatmate's friend been staying over? So in total, let's say over the cost of last month, we'll do a month's worth of bills. Three. They stayed, should we say two weeks out of that month? Two weeks, yeah, yeah, okay, perfect.

Two weeks. But then you're, this is why it's always tricky in a flat situation because then what if they were also then staying at their house? Yeah, so it was two weeks. But that's not, but I'm the flatmate. I don't give a shite about his flat. flat cost that's not my business no they're saying they're taking the girlfriend with them when they go back to his flat so technically she's not using any hot water or stuff when she's not there that

would even it out and also have you noticed that haley has a secret heater and just walks around just wearing shorts yeah but i got the colder room i got the cold room with the covered up fireplace she's got a plug in hybrid and she's just plugging it okay let's say so so he's been around for about a month okay um and stays let's say three nights a week okay okay And then, and the next question, how much does your flatmate pay per week for their room? So their room, let's say, 250? I don't know how much. Is that, is that, is that a vibe, 250?

Yeah, that could be. How many showers a day does their special friend take? Let's say they do two. Two showers. Yeah, because then they had fun times and needed to shower again. You've got a shower after. And the very least wheeze. Yeah.

And then that's a flush. A wean wipe. That's just basic. Is that a warm white? and sex education. And then they're flushing the toilet, more, aren't they? Yeah. It's your own water rates.

It's gross that none was an option anywhere. Do you know what I mean? If you're here shaggar my flat, mate, please shower your bits. Yeah. Or dip it in the sink. Two showers, we're going to say, is your water heating gas or electric? I'm gas, I'm going to click gas. How often do they cook?

Never really, sometimes often daily. Oh. Should we make them a bit of a villain? Never. Never contributes. Okay. Do they ever do laundry at your house? Oh my. So this, okay, this works out of everything, doesn't it?

Yeah, I'm going to say no laundry. Okay, calculate the bill, crunching the numbers. Costs breakdown. That person owes you $505 for that month. That's a breakdown of accommodation, 12 nights total. Yeah. Utilities and power, that's 0.6 cents. $9 for your showers cooking, none.

Laundry, none. That comes, plus a bit of petty tax, they add at 15%. $505.99. This is a lot of fun. And it would actually, you could do this even just to start the conversation and be like, listen, like, you know, we're not going to charge that, but it'll be nice if you chipped in. Yeah. And had a shower. But you should chip in anyway, right?

Like, if you're staying there a few weeks. Yeah, if you're listening and you realize that you've actually been staying at your partner's flat a little too much, just chip in a little, a little note here and there. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Emmys yesterday. We talked about the Emmys, all the winners. and, you know, it was a great night. But I saw online that Sophia Vergara,

absolutely fantastic actress, modern family's fame. What she's done? I know she's done that Netflix show about the, she was a drug lord. That was great. That was a great show. She's America's Got Talent. She's one of the main foreign America's got talent.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, she said that she was literally glam done, hair and makeup all on, ready to go. And as she was getting to the car, she was like, oh, my eye. We went back to look in the mirror, and her eye had this incredible allergic reaction. And she showed a photo, and it is, like, I've had this happen to me before. When obviously some of the makeup is interacted with her eye, and it's puffed it almost shut. Oh my gosh.

Yeah, I know. Would you just chuck some sunnies on? No, because the camera's going to be on you. Yeah, I do sunnies. I do sunnies inside. I'm just going to show you a photo, because I want to know right now when you've had an allergic reaction at the absolute worst time. And I, years ago, I'll show you a photo, it's so funny.

Years ago, I was performing one of my solo shows in Hamilton. And same thing. I woke up in the morning and my eye had reacted to some makeup and it had swollen shut. But I, um... Had you gone to sleep drunk with your makeup on again? I'm looking at my house. Oh, wow. Wow.

That is what you puffed to smithereens. Yeah, and I had had so few drinks tonight before in my eyes. and take my glittery and makeup off. Yeah, that'll be it. And then so I ended up having to perform the show looking like that. Oh, my eyes puffed. What kind of show was it?

A solo show, one-woman, one-hour solo show. Well, you know, couldn't be glasses for that. Yeah, but what did you do in the show? Could you have worked that in with a little bit of improv? I've just been, had my martial arts sort of just start. Before the one-woman show starts, I just want to know the character's been at a martial arts class. She'll never mention it again.

Not great when you wake up with your eye-swollen show. Oh, that's it. Then I had to go and, you've just got to do the show, so I must go on. Well, so Sophie and Vergara didn't go to the Emmys. She pulled out, she said, sorry, I'm not there, I'm in ER. She went straight there to get a bloody injection to get it down. Oh, wow, okay.

That's what I want to know this morning. Oh, 800 dial Z-M. Text 966, when did you have an alert reaction at the worst bloody time? Like, oh, I've seen a friend of mine had a reaction to something she ate in the morning of her wedding. And she was wearing a boob tube dress, strapless gown. On the big day. Huge rash across the chest. Okay, 9696, text in 0800, dials at M.

When did you have an allergic reaction at the worst time? Sophia Vergara had to pull out of the emmy. She was literally putting a foot into the car on her way there and then felt that her eye saw looked in the mirror and it had swollen, nearly shut. Went off to the ER instead. She's someone that gets allergic reaction. She gets allergic reaction to something.

We want to know when you had an allergic reaction at the worst time. Sophie, when was it? Um, so first day of high school was like, you know, the people who, it was year eight in Australia, so I was like just the year eights in the year 12th. Yep. And good old Catholic school, like nurse uniform. Yep. And I got allergic to the starch in my dress and ended up going home in the ambulance with like welts all over my body.

Oh, my. Is it like the spray that they spray on, the starch spray? for ironing and stuff. Yeah, so your uniform doesn't crease because you wouldn't want that. Oh, no, under the eyes of our Holy Lord and Savior Jesus. Jesus never had an eye at a rainbow and his toga. No, his toad is always perfectly stained.

Cardboard. It was like cardboard. It was a literal biscuit. And so, oh, that's horrible. That's a horrible impression on the first day. Yeah, I had to go to school for like the whole week. So when the whole school was there, everyone was in full uniform and I'm in sports uniform. Oh, hon.

Wasn't it the worst when you were in a day? different uniform to everyone else how shame yeah especially like you know first day scary like thousands of kids yeah and what so what did you do going forward you just didn't start to uniform i just washed it like 700 times until it was you know loose and wrinkly and loose and sin in the eyes of god yeah i hear them thank you sophy some messages found out as allusion to cats when my now husband took me to adopt a kitten for my birthday took three days for my face to not be swollen and puffing and for my eyes to not look like they were popping out of my head.

Yep. If you're allergic to cats, you are not my person. My daughter's wedding, I had a facial three days before the wedding and my whole face an upper body was covered with a red rash. Oh, no. Like a chemical cure or something? Maybe, I don't know. Oh, allergic reaction to it.

I had an allergic reaction whilst on a holiday from the sunscreen. Had puff the eyes and a skin rash and had to stay covered so I couldn't do activities with the family. Oh, the whole reason you're there is to enjoy the sun in the beach. I had an allergic reaction to edible body oil during, well, you know, at a fun time. Edible body oil? Surely it's not in the regions. adult fun times if you've got oil and you're playing around and you know i think it's safe to say it was and it's edible too what flavor was it uh 644 what flavor was it for banana you're out the

Um, it was on the morning of a dirty weekend away before my boyfriend moved away and the hair removal cream I used burnt the only part of me that mattered that weekend. It was a massacre down there. Yeah, it's napalm, that stuff, isn't it?

Someone said I got a kitten for my birthday For my wife I'm allergic Like welting from scratch's level reaction She knew I was allergic to cats But went ahead with it anyway To be fair he was a cute cat Post tense

Trying to get rid of you By the sounds of it Yeah, do, yeah, yeah. Read between the lines on that one. Sianara. Play Z-Dem's fleshborn and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do-d-to-d-d-d-d-d-dip-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-do.

Well, it's Pickleweek. Here at Fact of the Day. Sure it is. I said it in my absence yesterday, but a hell of a topic. Yeah. I'm actually quite pleased with it. We were going to maybe do a stitch-up, Vaughn, you know, and sort of leave your flailing for the rest of the week.

Yeah, but no, pickles, there's lots of facts about pickles. Very exciting. Including today's fact of the day, pickles can stop cramp immediately. What? Yeah, I've heard that. It's a salty pickle juice, isn't it? It's not about hydration because it works too quick for that.

The vinegar and the high salt content stimulate receptors in the mouth and throat, triggering a reflex in the nervous system that tells over-excited muscles to relax. But when have you ever had a cramp And immediately been near a jar of pickles So apparently in some situations There are jars of pickle juice for athletes

Who have known to experience cramps So they can come off immediately get Get the cramp gone By drinking the pickle juice So it also does Like if you drink it It's got electrolytes and hydration To it as well

Right The sodium and potassium Of course, sodium's like the salts. Yep. And it is very salty, so of course, in moderation. But they are two electrolytes that regulate nerve and muscle function. And if you drink pickle juice after extreme exercise, it can restore electrolyte balance faster than plain water.

It sounds like a DIY sports drink. So like a little half marathon or some kind of big endurance event. Yes. Pop that in. Yeah. Pop that down. Pop that in. Okay.

Yeah. But then I was like, oh, this is interesting about the pickle juice reducing cramps and having some other sort of reported benefits of like blood sugar control, the antioxidants and pickles and the salty sweet combo can trigger satiation signals

which mean you feel full or faster so it's like the original a Zempic Pickle Zempick Pickle Zempick Wow, Pickle Zempick Yeah what's your trick How'd you lose to the sweat Are you a Monjaro?

No, I'm on Pickle Zempo Yep You're on what, sorry? Pickle Zempick Wow So then I said Are there any downsides to the pickles And of course too much salt

They've got high salt content So that's not like a great idea To be doing it too much But the World Health Organisation Did Did classify it as a group To be possinimal carcinogenic to humans Oh

The same group is Alavira leaf extract And radio frequency from cell phones Oh okay So it's just like basically Long exposure to it The way it's made Are there nuts that you can

is it almonds or walnuts that are good for cramp or there's a nut that's good for cramp as well I feel like there is for immediate relief that helps you I'm pretty sure there is but you could also do

coconut water would be better for you with electrolytes potassium but my cramp is like immediate and then it's over like ooh you'd hit a pickle juice and it would be gone way quicker wow I have been

when I feel foot cramp coming on I'll engage I let it cramp yeah I let it cramp oh I hate it It's a good pain. Yeah, man, it's only a foot. If it's a tearal pain.

If it's a calf, if it's anywhere else, it's sore, but something about the foot and the toes go all like, gnaw. I get it in my hip sometimes. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's not a good one. That's not a fun cramp. Get your pickle juice ready to get rid of that.

So today's fact of the day is pickle juice can reduce cramps. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah, do-d-d-d-to-do-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-d-d-d-d-d-d-l. Someone messaged, they used to play in the N-RL, their friend used to play in the N-R-L. Oh, yeah.

Even though, who was the celebrity, someone took a photo on their friend's phone of the celebrity on this app? Wasn't it Ben Affleck? Yeah, but there was, no, there was someone else, and then

they put that on Twitter. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But there's nothing stopping you, they wouldn't have known who that was. No, no, no, no, no, no. But if you get caught, yeah. Like, I know someone's spoken on a podcast about it. seeing a celebrity and then they got banned from the app. Yeah, I tried to take a screenshot once on it, just to show

you guys and it gives you a warning, be like hey, oh yeah, da-da-da-da-da-ta-cha-ta-cha-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma. Yeah. And then I've told you guys a couple times, like, oh my God, guess what I saw on here? The guy from with the eyebrows, you know, the guy from that very popular show. Yeah, yeah. That TV show. Yeah, yeah. You know. And then I haven't been on it for a bit and I was like, proud.

I just have a little prowl in front of the TV last night. And I, and I, you know, I saw, I'm not going to say, I can't say, but it's a massive musician, American singer-songwriter. Okay, yeah.

That if I if I did You know In a world Imagine that And then you listen to a song on the radio I'm like That's about me It's about me

That's about me He's like, He said, he ruined and woman. Ruin my life. Play ZDM's flesh, one and haley. If you missed it, I talked about this maybe last week that I've had a friend visiting from Australia

who put his passport through the washing machine and tried to blame me because he handed, he put the clothes in, but I press play. But it absolutely tore this Australian week little, papery passport apart. Oh, they don't have the nice little laminated page like we do. Which is really, I'll say it, the key page. It's the key page. Instead,

his page actually came off of the seams and was sort of faded and washed away. And then we rung the Australian consulate and they said, here's your options, pay this amount for an emergency passport that'll only last six weeks, or just turn up and have a little go. You know, have a little think about it. Just turning up and having a go at international

travel with those passports are a wild option. Yeah, but the guy at the Australian consulate said like it worked between Australia and New Zealand, if you've got enough documentation and you can show your busted passport, they'll be like, all right, make an exception. But at the manager's discretion. We had a friend that came back from Hawaii like that. Yeah, totally.

I mean, it can happen. It's just that when you get into Aussie, they're really strict. Like, I find that airport, all the Aussie airports, the most intimidating, I reckon. No, it's because you've... It's because of what... It's got nothing to do with the 10. But we can tell if she's supposed to be white? Yeah.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Guys, I can't help. You're actually, this is actually racist. This is actually racist. It is. Anyway, so that was that, right?

And then we made the executive decision, wing it on the day. Rather than lose a bunch of money, which you didn't have to spare it. So, we'll just, oh, it'll be fine. You wouldn't mind paying for the emergency passport if it lasted another 10 years. If it was your new passport.

But no, for them, it was a six-month temporary thing. How weird. I don't know. Anyway, so, we turn up yesterday very early to Auckland International Airport to get him on this flight

and suddenly I was like get your story straight like it's all genuine but I was like we're going to be clear we're going to be very like we're here we're going to be warm but we're going to be firm we need to get home

this is a situation that happened he was like I'm panicking you're better you just deal with it and I was like okay went up to the counter and I said hi we just need to talk to someone about a situation with this passport.

And then the woman opened it, we've dried it since then with a hair dryer. So it was puffed to like, you know, triple thickness. Did you burn the edges and put some tea on it? Yeah, yeah, to make it look like a pirate map. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe when we did that, that was fun. Lemon juice and then bake it, eh? Is that the other way to do it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but the picture page was looking a bit better, though detached.

Okay. And the woman said, oh, I think it could be alright, because we can see that that's you and that number down the bottom, that's really what we need. She said, I'll just go check with my manager. Yeah. And all good.

So we were like, we're fly. We're all good today. This other woman, and then we see three women gathering. Oh, yeah. Phones are on the go. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. They come back eventually and it's a different woman. She goes, it's a no, I'm sorry.

She said, we've just gotten off the phone from Australia. Yeah. And they won't accept you at their end. So, you know, it's like we could put you on the plane. but if we send you over and Australia says no, then they get a fine, the airline gets a fine for accepting you. This is why the airlines are really strict with like visas and passports, wherever you go, because yeah, the airlines are heavily fine.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So then my friend was like, well, what are we, what am I going to do? Just like get an emergency passport, book a new flight. Flight sales are over there, like good luck. And I just said, no. Oh. Yeah, put on my ugly face. I said, no, that won't do.

I said, we've run this Australian consulate and they said that this happens all the time and it's at a manager's discretion. Now, as the manager, I would employ you to use your discretion. And she said, well, I'm not the manager. I could ring my manager. Oh, wait, did you Karen and ask her the manager?

She did. Karen, middle name Karen, right? Karen Karend. And then I said, you know, like, well, that'd be great if you could ring your manager. Nick Miner. No, Hayley, we're not. We're not.

Oh, no, Haley. Were you away last week, Georgia, we ran a poll. Are you still neck minute? No, that's, wait, no. And the answer was a resounding, yes, we are. No, there wasn't. It's like chur. We're not doing any of that.

No, we're churric. Anyway, so I say it'll be great. If you could ring your manager, thank you very much. She gets on the blower a little bit later. Neck minute, one would say, guess he's going to Australia with no passport. Oh. Let him through.

They just make a few calls, and apparently it was an absolute nightmare for him when he went through customs, but it's not my problem anymore. Wait, customs in New Zealand. No, like, going through customs in New Zealand was easy because they ring ahead at every stop. Right. There's a person, this is his name, and he's flying with no passport. You can see why management are like, no, just go get a password.

What a headache. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But apparently going through Australia, absolute nightmare. But again, like I said, I was fast asleep at that point. He lives here, and you were born there. Like, you're a citizen. Like, just, it's not a big deal. So I think sometimes you've got to use your big girl voice.

Yeah, and Karen. And you got to use your, you got Karen, a little. it, because I said if we hadn't have asked, we'd have been out of money. Yeah. So anyway, time. Oh, another podcast in the bag. The plastic bag. Are they back?

No, no, still banned. Okay. They never left. That's where you come in with the line, boy. Boy, man, if you enjoyed that. Okay. Oh, and if you enjoyed it, give us a rating and a review, and be sure to tell all of your friends. God, I need some sleep.
