From the ZM Podcast Network This is Fleshwin and Haley's Big Pod Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse The biggest brands at the lowest prices You know when you sit down on a toilet And usually in a mall and on the back of the cubicle There's always like an ad Oh yeah they'll get an ad in anywhere they can

The gym has them Yeah yeah totally Where's the gym got them At the back of the toilet's there Yes they do For themselves For themselves yeah for like promos and stuff Yeah yeah for sure

We're getting a reno actually Are you getting a reno? They always do this They always do the men's bathrooms first What do you mean That was to do the men Remember when you guys You know

When we had a spa pool And like saunas and stuff And they ripped them all out For the car park And the men were like Well we've still got ours Unbelievable sexism We don't have ours anymore

Yeah but you had them for much longer than us What's the Reno? The bathroom are we? Are we? Yeah How nice How nice? How nice?

I think we have to For the next few weeks shower with you though Oh cute Cute Oh, because sometimes the All Blacks and the Warriors or, you know, the South Africans way, they train at our gym. No, I'm not, no, there's none of that. Imagine?

Imagine it? They're like, guys. Hi, Les Mills members. Just we're going to have unisex bathrooms, including the showers. So, excuse me, I'm talking about some public toilets in China. Right. That have taken advertising to the next level. They're claiming it's also to help with waste because they believe Chinese people are over-consuming toilet paper.

so on the back where there is the toilet roll dispenser it's sort of a bit of a mechanism looking thing with a QR code on it that you have to scan and watch an ad in order to receive a couple of squares of toilet paper

what like a pre-roll ad before you watch a video yeah you've got to endure the ad and then it will what squirt out some toilet paper and it is just a couple and they're saying the system cuts down on waste with authorities suggesting some people take an excessive amount of free toilet paper.

I'm sorry, I need it, I need a lot. Especially the, you know, public toilet paper, if you have to use a public toilet, it's always the thinnest. You need a double layer of that to make it a four or five, six ply. Yes, we're upping the ply ourselves. Yeah, yeah.

With the bulk. So if you, if you want more, you have to watch another ad, or you can pay some money. What? So, I mean, this isn't like, there are public toilets, even in New Zealand around,

where you pay, a little bit of, like you pay a coin. It's really popular in Europe as well. We have to pay like 50 cents or something. You travel, you're never getting a free toilet. Most places you go. But this just feels like, and I say this, pun intended, like a pain in the ass.

Actually. You know what I mean? And then the amount you watch this ad, what is it? How many seconds is it? I think it's like 15 seconds. Oh, punishing. I'm sitting there with, you know, a moister noose. 15 seconds in, it goes,

and it's just three single-plined sheets. And then you've got to watch another 15. You're still moist. The inner is still moist. And then I reckon I'd have to watch about six or seven ads. I'd be like skip ad pay, skip ad pay, skip ad pay, skip ad pay, skip ad pay. Have you ever had public toilets? I think South America is pretty big for this.

You pay to go in and use them. But then the attendant there, normally some little old lady, she'll give you like a tiny amount of toilet paper and that's all you get. That's what you get. It's like, no, I need more. No, no, no, no, yeah. I'm about to, hey, I'm in South America. I've had some spice. There have been some beans.

Yeah, there's beans and spice in my bowels. I'm going to need three times in a Mount Horn. Play, ZDM's, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Well, a woman has gone viral because she has been to 40 different McDonald's around the world. I wonder how many I've been to, because I've been to lots around New Zealand. It always feels like a bit of a crime when you're in Europe or somewhere or somewhere. and you're just like, yeah, but how good would a quarter pound to be right now? I reckon, the best McDonald's I've ever had was in Rome.

Oh, yeah. And we'd literally just been to see the Coliseum, and it was me and mum. We'd walking around and it was hot, and we just thought, man, it's easy, it's got it. Is it because you'd been, had a week of pastor? Yeah, yeah, totally. Maybe you just craved a burger? Just a little corny peat. Well, I don't know if she intentionally set out to go, and that's, it's not, I don't think it's the reason she travels around the world,

but this woman, Kelly Marshall, who I will say, bitch, she's eating all this McDonald's, and she looks like, I think she's a runner, I think she's a runner, I think she's a runner. She burns it. She burns it, she burns it. Because I eat McDonald's and I sell it on the couch. Yeah, see, she goes for a run by the looks of it. But she, her video is quite funny because she will rate every McDonald's at a 10

that she's been to. And I guess that's why it's kind of picked up because people are like, oh, we haven't scored as well. She gave high praise to Laotocco in Fiji. Okay. There's a McDonald's, I remember seeing a McDonald's in Fiji when I first went. I've only been to Fiji once, and I did not frequent the McDonald's. She said pros, best nuggets and fries have had in time,

like a pint worth of McFlurries with chocolate sauce added. So she said there was lots of chocolate sauce. So she gave it a nine out of ten. But she did say Coke wasn't great, but I didn't mind. Maybe the bubbles are a bit low in Fiji. They've gone on. Maybe they... Thick on the syrup and low on the fizz.

She carries on. She, in France, pros, potato wedges. They've got potato wedges. Wedges? Tokyo, Japan, she gave 10 out of 10. She said the nuggets were phenomenal. But the nuggets are the same everywhere, aren't they? No, they're not, because we use Kiwi chicken.

Oh, yeah, okay, right. I would say our nuggies are some of the best in the world. I've had some absolutely moolied up crap and, you know, across the world. She said the Coke hit the spot in a crowd of Japan cannot fault. 10 out of 10 in Tokyo in Japan. Her next one, Melbourne, Australia, pros gave me an extra nugget, so that was nice. Do you know, I have never had an extra nugget.

And I always count them, I'm like, today could be the day. Do you know, I think once I've had five? Really? Yeah. You just didn't count the one that you ate? Oh, could have been. Malta. She said, not really a fan of European nuggets as a whole,

seven out of ten. Wow. Pro's exactly what I needed when I hadn't consumed anything all day. fries were phenomenal, so she gave Malta a seven out of ten. Sydney, Australia, got an eight out of ten. Nottingham in England, a five out of ten. She said, Nuggets were pretty good. Diet Coke was phenomenal. Cons didn't really want it so the chips felt overwhelming, so they had to sit outside. That feels, that she's basing some of her scores on her experience of the place. Completely. Wait, where are we? Napier, New Zealand. She went to Napier. Pros. You can

have a large drink without having a large fries and a medium meal, and I've wanted for a while. Cons, they still have the yellow and red colour scheme with Ronald everywhere, and I don't know, that just gave me the ick. And the sauce was packet, not pot. Oh, so she got ketchup in a packet.

Because some places do ketchup in a pot. Eat the little pump thing in the pot. She gave Napier. Our Napier, 6.5 out of 10. I don't like this woman. But again, I don't know this woman, she eats McDonald's and she's skinny. and she has no idea.

I've been to the Napier McDonald's. It's great experience. Not a bad way to say about it. You know we are fans of Hawke's Bay. I think it's more just on her mood that day in the colour scheme. Someone just messaged in and said, oh my God, the terriaki burger in Tokyo McDonald's elite fast food. I love when you go to McDonald's and they've got like a local.

Yeah, like people must come here and see the Kiwi burger and be like, oh, what's it got it? And then they're like, beach root? What? How's that doing in there? Play ZN's Fletchbourne and Haley From your local community Facebook page This is the Top Six

Well in Vaughan's absence I'll be doing the Top Six again But this is out of Adelaide There's a club, a nightclub called Atlantis That is being slammed by I was going to say animal rights activists But it's really one guy who's really kind of going ham on this Okay

Because they have a very large fish tank It is amazing. Like, it's actually huge. It looks like an aquarium tank. It's massive. Yeah. Like, imagine, like, it's like a small, like, silo in the middle of it. But it made out of glass.

And then, of course, you've got all the lights, and it does look very cool. It looks very, very cool. Yeah. see a dance with thrush. No. So the animal rights activist is saying

that the fish are traumatised because of the lights and the music and everything but the club owner whose name is Mr Pratt. He says that they've been tested they've had a whole bunch of marine biologists in they've checked the decibels

and it's really thick glass about it would have to be it's not like a home aquarium yeah this is like you say a silo it's ginormous yeah yeah it's like it's proper It's 50 millimetres thick. It's so thick that you couldn't hear anything through it.

They're like, it's nothing. We're not getting rid of a fish. But anyway, I've got the top six thoughts that a fish in a nightclub tank is having. Okay. Number six of the list. God, these bloody skirts are getting short these days. I can see a coochie hanging out. It's just swimming around.

There's just boobs and coochie everywhere. Yeah, you'd see it all. You'd see it all. From that tank. Yeah, you can't hear a thing. No. But the eyes, you can see it. Number five, man, this fish food tastes a bit different than usual.

It's why it's got much finer flake and makes me want to share my opinion on everything, oh, mate. You guys are feeling good? God, my jaw hurts. Oh, I feel great! Do not. I hope people are not sprinkling in naughty substances into the fish tank. Well, number four on the list is Ash,

and I think some of my slopped a little bit of the drink in here, and I just want to say that sharing the space was used. I've been an honour of my life. Number three in the list of the top six thoughts that a fish is having in a nightclub tank. All the music sounds the bloody same. Dolf Dolf this and doffdorf there. Play something that we can dance to like octopus's garden

or something by real big fish or Frank Ocean. Oh, that is good. Good from you. Thank you. Good from you. Number two on the list of the top six thoughts that are fish in a nightclub tank is having that girl's tan is offensive.

and I can say that because I'm an orange ruffie and our culture is not your costume bag and number one of the list of the top six thoughts a fish in a nightclub tank is having they really do need to install more women's toilets you know there's always a line they should just do what we do and just piss where we stand it's so much easier

they do it's just a thought we're all having just give us more toilets yeah the guys are fine we've got the urinals yeah and you just get in there and you hold it Yeah, we've got a whole thing we've got to do in there. Anyway, the fish are fine. Yeah. And actually, this kind of makes me want to go to this club in Adelaide.

Yeah. Atlanta's Club Adelaide, shout out. ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. I think I've only ever been cast like once in my life and I was reading a book. Like that always, or if I'm on my phone too much and someone else is driving. Which, by the way, why is someone else driving? I'm the best driver in the car. I hate being a passenger.

But when you do find that if you're on a roadie, if you're in the backseat and you're on your phone, sometimes you can be like, oh, a little pleasy. even as an adult. Yeah, yeah. But I used to have, my best friend was like super Karsik all the time. Like pull over on the side of the road and have a little spewy.

That would be a pain. Yeah. So apparently, if you are a Karsik sufferer, and I imagine it's awful, there is a study out of China that examined how different types of music impact motion sickness

and they use like full you know, brain dot, put the dots on the wires, wires on the dots. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chuck these people in the back of a car, loomed around some mountains. I'm thinking, you wairarapa, your remitakas. Oh, yeah, yeah, nice. You know what I mean? Your gorges. Yep. The Karangahake gorge, I'm thinking those kind of roads.

Yep. And they played different kind of music to try to find out if different styles of music helped in different ways. Did they tell them in the study, like, not to look at the road? Or to be on their phone? or to be reading? Like the causes of? Or these are just people that just constantly get car. No, it was 30 young adults.

They dropped in. It was a simulator car. Okay. Used to induce motion sickness. So they were just like normal. They weren't reading or texting or on TikTok or anything like that. They listened to four different types of music. Soft music.

Joyful music. Stirring or passionate music. What like classical? Classical? Yeah. Or I was saying, do you know what immediately came to my head? the Lord of the Rings theme. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, epic. Yeah, or sad music. Now, sad music, I'm gonna, I've got my IHeart radio open. Okay. I'll play some sad music. It's company KPI there. You can listen to the Iheart radio at wherever you go. Listen to the show live, our podcast as well.

That's right. God, actually flawless. Have you got me up? Have you got me up? Yeah, I do. God, big delay. Big delay there. So this one here

So I'm counting this as sad music Sad, okay, right This is probably one of the saddest songs of all time This and Father and Son by Kate Stevens Worsened symptoms Wait, so this made car sickness worse, okay Worsened symptoms No one like improved by listen to this music

It made people feel like sicker Okay Okay, it's gonna be, I'm doing DJing here That Lord of the Rings Do you see somebody paid Chris Martin like millions of dollars to do a private concert. Ain't that crazy, eh? Can you imagine having that much money?

Okay, stirring music, which was the next, the second, you know, least effective. Hang on. Okay. What are you thinking for stirring music? What? I'm going, I'm going, hang on. This is...

Lord of the Rings. Okay. Yeah, I'd say this is stirring. Yeah. But again, not as effective for car sickness. Yeah. Sturing. moderately effective.

So 48.3% of participants saw a reduction. Yeah. Listen to some stirring passionate music. Okay. I mean, Lord of the Rings might not be your version. And then joyful music. And now, I mean, I know I'm being a little bit obvious here. But I'm going to choose the most sort of obvious happy song.

Okay. It better not be for a real happy. I'm so sorry. You should have said that earlier. Oh my God, I've played a brass band version. I hate this song so much. Do you know what? I hate the song so much, too.

It's not happy to me. It makes me angry. Joyful music. Wait, what's another happy song? What's a happy song? Happy music. I'm just looking at that. The happiest songs.

Happiest songs have brought up. Feel good, happy mix. Okay. a little look here on the iHeart radio app take us wherever you go listen to us on our podcast lots of company kPI's here i mean the first one's michael jackson this would make okay this is joyful music absolutely agree with this okay god i hope i'm not playing the explicit music five six seven eight okay we agree this is happy music joyful music second second best option yeah reduced symptoms by 57.3% okay so listen listening basically to zet m and pop

while driving. Well, this was the most popular. Yeah. The most popular. I'm going to try to find, I mean, it's not my favorite song of all time, but the girlies are going to love this. The most effective music to listen to

when you are feeling car sick, they found, is soft music. Reduce motion sickness by 60%. Because we're reporting. So, for example, Cardigan by Taylor Swift. Yeah. You know? This, and they said it's,

don't want to be driving late at night with this, you'll just doze off into a ditch. You know, into a ditch. I know. Soft music likely calms the nervous system and reduces stress. Okay. So you're just feeling a little bit more at ease as opposed to like oh, don't feel very well. And while joyful music will distract

from discomfort by actively rewarding your brain with like, I feel, feeling good and feeling good. Or you could just fly. Whereas sad music, it just makes you feel sad. And so you're feeling bad and now you're sad. Yeah, yeah. Makes sense. And then you've still got three hours on the road trip to go and it's just that's sad as well. Oh, someone did just text and I should play Mr. Blue Sky, you know, like a big, that's a,

that's a happy song. Yeah. I'm happy with, um, I'm happy with Chapel Rhone. Okay. So use music if you're, if you're, yeah, but I, again, yeah, just to reiterate, late at night. Yeah. Late at night, probably not the best. What did you cut it off for?

I sort of thought you were going to punch out. I was, but I was going to do a lovely face. You're not a very good DJ. Okay, we'll try again. Hang on. Vaughn might have not have Spotify Premium or YouTube. YouTube Premium. Okay, let's do this.

So, if you are feeling passing, the most effective type of music to listen to Fletch, it's soft music like this. No. Where were you with the button? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Play ZM's Fletch Worn and Haley. There is a Gen Zia, Janelle, Ferreier. not Ferreiro Ferre Roche.

Yeah, it's Janelle Ferre. She's ruffling feathers online by providing Gen Z boot camp for millennials. For some reason, the video has been removed. Okay. I hope she hasn't been since cancelled, and now I'm sort of hyping her up. Yeah, as possible.

Maybe she's sort of, they found, you know, body buried in her backyard in the last 24 hours. If that, I removed myself from it. Anyway, Janelle provides a Genzi boot camp for millennials trying to remain relevant. Right. I fall into this category. Okay, the first thing she comes for is the fonts we're using on Instagram.

I'm aware of this. Let's bring in our own Gen Z's. Yeah, yeah. What fonts do you think are not acceptable? Well, she said there's unacceptable, fine, and like these are the ones we're doing. Well, we know that poster is known as a millennial font. Yeah, but it's kind of cute. Jen, it's been approved.

It's been approved. It's approved. Okay. So the ones that she is calling an absolute, she says it's screaming. millennial. I hate that we're in this generation now that we're not the generation. Yeah. We're screaming millennial. Yeah. Signature, bubbles, squeeze and meme.

Yeah, I go for literature. That's my favorite. Okay, so the ones that she said they're fine. I won't think twice if I see you using it is modern editor poster. That's us. That's us. And deco. She said the ones that are most aesthetic and absolutely we're frothing, elegant, strong, typewriter and classic and literature.

See, typewriter to me is so overused. It did. In our lifetime, it's been so overused. Because we used to, when we went to school, we rode on typewriters. There's one called meme now. And it's comic sands. Oh, yeah, comic sands is the worst actually used by anyone ever. But it's being, I think it's being...

Ironically used. You know? Yuck. But as I've mentioned, many times this week, you've got to be careful when you start saying things ironically. Because neck minna, it becomes second language. Okay, the next thing she came from, For millennials, we're not saying sleigh in earnest now. You can use it ironically, but we're not doing sleigh.

We're tapping our fingers or something like this. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we're tapping like this. So instead of being like, oh my God, sleigh, oh my God. Look at you. Absolutely stolen from queer culture, but that's fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So would sleigh.

The third, yeah, it is, eh, for sure, like vogueing and, yeah, yeah, yeah. The third faux par that us millennials are being accused of is taking the meanings of words too literally. So she's like, we're using things like, I'm dead, I'm deceased, I'm sick, I'm screaming, I'm throwing up. These are all good. Whereas I'll be like, oh my God, I'm throwing up. Help, something's wrong.

I've eaten something bad. The next thing we're not doing is, and this is, I feel really attacked, is we're not taking photos of our food. Yeah, to be fair, yeah, we're not. I went out for dinner with someone who was a older millennial and she genuinely said their phone eats first and I was like no babe we're not doing

The phone eats first Yeah it does it was like what are you doing Stop touching your food hang on hang on and they're over Maybe if it's like a cute really chic chakuritory board But aside from that or a cute cake She said what we're doing is if you've got a meal Because we're like birds eye view Plate in the middle like full thing untouched

Is like to zoom in really unassessed aesthetically and maybe have like an elbow and then like tag the restaurant in like the most minimal font in the corner like we're not really highlighting the food but like yeah I'm eating and what and what about it I mean oh listen when was the last time I posted something I've been a bit slack recently I'm off I'm off the hashtags yeah because we're not yeah no hash do you learn that didn't you no hashtags yeah my last post that I posted was my Hobbiton post which has gone really well and I think it's because I didn't use hashtags and I just said I went to Hobbiton I loved it more than I thought that he ever could. And I wanted to do, hashtag fellowship, you know, hashtag Bilbo. I nearly swore. I think maybe you two should run some courses. Yeah, some boot camps. I think as well, the big millennial thing I notice is not only the captions,

but when you comment on a friend's photo. Oh, what are we doing? It's just being like, oh my goodness, you look nice or something. Okay, so my friend's Chief Peter Gordon, renowned chef, he's been honoured by the Queen. you look so at home. Is that a no? No, I would go like, what's the square route of 64? Side note, that feels like a dig. When you were at Hobbiton?

Oh my goodness. Oh my God, I got roasted by a famous chair. Hang on. You got roasted and you didn't even notice it. Hang on, you commented on here, Shannon. What a casual cool hobbit girl. Yeah, because you keep talking about how you're a casual

girl. Yeah, I was wearing a beanie. Yeah, you're a cool. I'm a cool. I'm still hobbit. Oh, and there's so much to Learn flech. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. We've got the new hot girl hobby of the year. Okay. And you laughed and I'm just going to wait for an apology.

Followed by another laugh. This is unbelievable. Shannon's laughing too. Shannon's laughing too. Shannon? I am a hot girl. I speak on behalf of all hot girls. Your selves include it.

Yeah, you're a hot casual girl. I'm just laughing because a few minutes ago you said, guys, my period's coming and I haven't even had a mood swing. and then you just annihilated Fletch but not saying it was not. That's why I'm laughing. Because usually I feel mad before my period's coming and I said, oh, I haven't had a mood swing.

And Fletch said, ideally you could wait till after nine. When I'm not here, when I'm not here. So the new hot girl hobby of the year is not what we, you know, like Pilates. Because that's very obvious. Or yoga. Or, you know, crafts or something. Well, you're about to say crochet, would you?

Well, she laughed when I suggested that, you know, I wasn't hot, so she gets that. It's birding. Birding. Or bird watching, but we're calling it birding. So the hot girls are going to birding. When you're into dogs. You take the dogs to the dog park.

Fletcher. By the way, Fletch, dogging is not when you're into dogs. You're kidding me. Fletcher, come on. If you could see this guy's face, he's aghast at the news, he's just received. He had no idea. Hon, you've been using the term doggy or wrong. You'll have to tell me off here what it actually means.

I will, but it is for off-air. Okay, do continue. So there is a, I think this is funny. I do want to say there is a journalist, her name's Emma, her last name's Boner. And I just... No, they actually say Bonner. They don't like to say, no, they do, because I

knew someone that was called Bona. And they said, it's actually Bonner. And I knew... Bonner's got two ends. And I knew a chick with the... last name, Death, and she was like, it's Diath? Oh, Diarth, it's not death. It's not, it's actually death.

So, death and Boner. So Emma Boner, who's a journalist, she has been sharing that, she kept noticing over her feed, her Instagram and TikTok and everything, Girlie's going birding, or bird watching. She was like, what the hell? This is stupid, because bird watching

used to be like this activity. Sort of like golf, you know, like kind of rich people with too much time on their hands, could take a whole day. Well, kind of like, it's kind of a weird man kind of hobby. Say it, loser guys. I was like, a loser guys. Sad losers, not hot girls.

Little sad loser guys would do. And she was like, the girls are going birding and they're sharing their fines. They've got their binoculars. They're out in the bush. They're getting nature. And so she was like, oh my God. Well, as a journalist and a hot girl,

I'll give it a go. It's her new passion in life. She loves it. She absolutely loves it. She's joined online birding communities. There's thousands of Facebook and Reddit groups. When did it have a rebrand to make it sound cooler? It's bird watching.

Birdwatching. Babes, do you want to go birding? What are you doing this weekend? Let's go birding. Because, like, Friday night, like, after we have drinks and something, I feel like Saturday I'm just going to need some nature. We could go burning. To be fair, I have to do this every day

because the pigeons try break into my apartment. You do your sort of involuntary burning. I know if that's burning. And when Carwin comes and sits on my half couch, she will hear the pigeons and it freaks her out. Sometimes they just, like, flit and you go, whew at you. So they were saying, it's like, it's kind of great because unlike your hobbies, for example, Shannon,

of like crafts and that's actual skill and you have to learn something and I'm not interested in learning I'm at capacity I've learned what I'm going to learn do you know what I've done everything birding's easy you don't have to be an expert

you literally look at birds but do you have to get a binoculars You've got to get some equipment I was going to say I hypothesise that the next trend will be glasses because all the girlies are going to realise they can't see yeah for sure

for sure now this reminds me and I just want to sort of like take a little tangent here because you know I've been looking for a new hobby. Yes. Because Marching was taking up too much for my life, I had to park back to the side. And my current hobby of watching TV on the

couch with a bottle of wine is like not serving me. Crazy. And you may remember I actually sort of seeded the idea of my new hobby is going to be skateboarding. Oh God. I'm committing. I'm committing quite hard to this. Okay. I'm getting some lessons very soon and I put up

I put up a post on my social media looking for, I mean I feel like I mean, honestly, I'm almost ready to give up. Birding feels so much easier. But I'll commit for a bit harder. At least buying all the gear is, well, like one pair of binoculars versus a helmet, knee pads. No, no, no, no, no, but it's not as sexy.

I know this is the hot girl thing, but I've got a vision for the skateboarding. So I put up something asking for all the equipment that I needed. And everyone said the things, like elbow pads, knee pads, obviously a board, a helmet. And I was like, I had those in my mind. But then someone was like, absolutely you're going to need padded pants. Oh, yeah, because you fall on your arm. Because you'll fall on your ars so much. Like ice hockey pants.

I could buy Kim Kardashian's little booty. She's got patted ass things. Yeah. And also a risk guard. People were saying you need a wrist guard, like snowboarders. Well, I'm this weekend I'm going to start acquiring all of my things and follow along my journey becoming a hot skater girl. And if that goes wrong. I can't wait until I have to help you list all of this crap on Trade Me.

And then help me find binoculars because if this goes wrong, I'll become a birder. Yes. And follow your ACC. Play Z-M's Fletchbourne and Haley. Fletchport and Haley, silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole. Today's silly little pole, do you talk to your friends about money?

I love this, A and Z. They were. Well, you've been doing a bit of work. They did a study. We talk to our friends. I will literally take photos of some of my bowel movements and send them to my best friend. You know what I mean?

Like that, we just take things too far. Don't talk about money very often. I talk to my friends in general ways. I wouldn't say to many of my friends, like how much I earn or... Is that seen as taboo by asking someone how much they earn? It is a little bit. Less so, I'm hoping.

Yeah. A bit of transparency, but I don't know. We don't talk about money often. No, these are the options that we gave you. We gave you. Yes, we talk in-depth about income and bills, etc. I mean, we talk, me and Vaughn in particular, we share mortgage horror stories. Yeah.

We said, yes, we talk in-depth about income and bills, etc. was one option. Yes, but very surface level, like I'm saving for, you know, whatever. Or no, we just avoid it. Those were the three options. Okay. The least popular was no, we avoid it, at 11%. then yes we talk very in depth about everything

income and bills the most popular one at 63% yes but very surface level yeah and see that's when the problems happen if you're going out to dinner with friends or holiday and you know people can afford something some can't afford it you don't know if someone's going through a bit of like

a tight time and then you're like come out because you know one's just like guys I'm on the absolute bones right now yeah yeah some feedback from our lovely listeners Kayla said you can get some great money hacks from comparing notes with friends, not necessarily sharing income, but definitely bills. Yeah. Again, just referring to us, like, we did this the other day,

we were like, how much do you pay for power? And then we were like, oh my God, mine's so much more than that. And then we all did a little compare and have a little look. Yeah, get the calculators out. Henry says airline life. We're all on union agreements, so we all know what everyone earns, makes for a very transparent conversation. Oh, right.

So you're kind of getting paid the same. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so you can all chat quite freely about how much money you're making. Kylie says I'm a cash-ed-up, Aussie Bogan, that is a very successful business. All right, Kylie. I love that. Money doesn't often come up, but when it does, friends are often surprised because even though we drive nice cars, we don't dress or act like we have money. Yeah, and that's why you have money.

That's why you have money. That's why you have money, because you're not spending it on... No one cares that your black t-shirt is Balenciaga. It literally looks like it's from AS color. Yeah, exactly. Tessa, a pinini bing. Tessa, best to know who can do what and not shame them by putting out an idea that they can't afford.

So they have financial transparency with their friends. Yeah, good. Ash said, only my best friend, because we're in a similar financial situation, have similar lifestyle, so it's very relatable. Okay. That's helpful. Vicky says definitely not.

I know some of my friends are currently unemployed, so it's just a topic I avoid completely. Yeah, that'd be hard. People really struggling. Amanda said, why be shy about it? No one's here to judge. Eve said I live in London so it's a major talking point over here

Oh okay I guess everything's I guess you do you Because I know friends in London And they're always like you know How much rent are you guys paying Yeah yeah for sure To make anything as cheaper as you can

Rebecca said yes with close friends It's good to get ideas on budgeting and savings Sophie says I was at a lunch on the weekend And people were discussing their salaries in debt That it made me so uncomfortable I've always sort of been Do you think it's because she's she earns way more.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, like, it would make you uncomfortable. I think either way would make you uncomfortable. If they were like, oh my God, I earn this much and you're sitting there being like, Jesus. I don't even earn that much. Yeah, or if you were teased and they'll talk about theirs, you'd be like, I don't want them to know how much money I make.

And then you have to pay for all the drinks if they find out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because they're like, how much money do you make and it's twice as much. They'll be like, well, I'm not paying for a single thing ever again with you. I wonder if it would change the dynamics of a friend group when everyone found out how much they were earning. Yeah. I'm all for financial.

transparency, but when you say it like that, I'm like, it could get awkward. Andrea says I'm a financial advisor and I own rental properties. People are really scared of debt and scared to do something that they may be the first to do in a family. So sometimes I find it helps when talking openly about how money and mortgages work to help demystify reality versus what may have been incorrectly passed down. Or just answer any questions. It's scary how many people have literally no financial literacy. Totally. And Natasha says, I'm currently helping my friend and her boyfriend buy a house. It's like I'm the third piece. so you're chipping in

it is weird when you do that and you're just like I'm I'm an adult but I don't know any of this stuff I was thinking this yesterday I've been like man GST I still don't really understand it why are you giving it to me and I'm giving it back don't give it to me in the first place

anyway so we asked you do you talk to your friends about money and 63% of you said yes but very surface level play ZM's Flash 1 and Haley Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Haley What?

What we're watching Whatca, wooka, wooko, wu, woo, What we're watching I bet the guy that makes those for the station Scared you coming for his job. Sam is shaking in his boots. Sam's coming to work like, oh, maybe I'll just turn around and go home. Hayle's got my job.

And I'll be like, bong, and do all the stings from like, Netflix and neon and everything and like the start of films What, look a wiki what we're watching Yeah, okay Got to get in the booth I mean, yeah Add that to the list of things

We've got to get in the booth We're going to get in the booth We have to do that What we're watching What have you started watching Okay, so I'm in a period of needing to tune out So I'm just rewatching shameless At the moment

Okay Which is great But we need to talk about this And I'm God I wish Georgia was here Dilly delying Do you know what I mean? Yeah, where's she? Late today.

Sleeping in. Oh, that must be nice. God, what a life. She referred to this yesterday, and then it popped up. It's the number one movie in New Zealand today. And it is called The Wrong Paris. Now, Carwin.

Yeah, Carwin, as a girl who loves a romantic, you know, novel. Yeah, this is for the girls that like a cowboy romance novel, you know? This already sounds horrendously crap, and I shan't be watching. Do you know what, Fletch, I will say. For you? It's not for you. So this storyline is Dawn thinks she's joining a dating show in Paris, only to land in Paris, Texas.

She has an exit plan though, and she starts working at a ranch, and then a guy comes in with two hay bales, a waistcoat, and I'll tell you what, an eight-pack of abs. And she's like, oh my God, I'm in the wrong Paris. Like, it's, I, listen. It sounds terrible. I can indulge in a hallmark crap, you know what I mean?

But I started yesterday and I lasted 10 minutes. Then I scooted a head to see some abs and biceps. Okay. Just to catch my eyes over them. Okay, yeah. Phenomenal. But the, it's the plot's thin. Miranda Cosgrove, who is a Disney kid.

Nickelodeon. Sorry, Nickelodeon girl. Icarly. Like, she's iconic. She's Icarly. She's the lead as a woman now. So already my brains just bobulated. The app, worth it for the abs?

Okay. The bodies are insane on this, but yeah, you know what I mean. You know. It's when you want like a thin plot and just like something to chuck on in the background. This would be great with like some girlies on the couch, having a glass, a wine, some batch margaritas. And it's just on in the background. And every time he walks in, we all go, ah ha ha ha ha ha ha. That's how if I made a movie, I'd want everyone to describe it.

You know, just one of those movies with a thin plot you can just have on in the background and not really pay attention to. It's one of those movies you want to watch when you don't actually want to watch it. And then if you only look every few times, it's palatable. Yeah, see, that's not a great review, is it? But who am I? Who am I? Who am I to say it's literally number one on Netflix? Honestly, what are people?

Is there nothing else to watch? There's so much to watch. There's too much going on in the world to watch something serious or informative. You've just got to put on some track. Totally agree. That's me with reality TV, like maths and all that. Well, speaking of reality TV, Shannon, you were heading the group chat yesterday with some incredible snippets from a show.

You've been getting advertised this show for a while. Yeah, I've been seeing it lots. So it's called Are You My First? It's on Disney Plus, and it is basically a show of 21 virgins. They all are virgins for different reasons, a lot religious, but a few other reasons too. And it's a dating show to try potentially lose their virginity, but also they're just so awkward. Like, man, they quiz the men on female anatomy. One guy said a woman's pregnant for six months.

Close. They can be, but it's not well. It's kind of scary. Yeah, it's so funny. And just the way they flirt is so good. I've got a little clip here for you. Yeah, now this, you've seen this in the group chat. Now, let's just, if we could set the scene before we play it.

Please do. What, Haley, what would you describe this guy as? Not everyone's cup of tea? Yeah. Yeah, well put. Thank you. As corny as it is to say it, I think most people would be surprised to find out that I'm virgin just because like statistically speaking i'm in the top three percent of good looks i wanted to lose

my virginity for a while but i'm a little bit scared of intimacy uh there's fear of me not being any good there's a lot of fear of maybe i'm too good you know okay no one's surprised you're a virgin no one is surprised he's worried he's gonna be too good i'm in your top three percent of good looks the top three percent of good looks really yeah as someone who is do you know what I meanie what are you watching actually you know what I just finished Wednesday and I think that it's the best season like better than the first season

I watched such a funny clip yesterday she'd hunt it out whereas you know Jenna Ortega she's quite a serious person I've interviewed her before and like she is she takes the role very seriously and I think she would be quite intimidating to be in the presence of and there was a guy who as a mind reading medium and he was like you know kind of works into the world of the sort of

spooky worky and was like okay I'm gonna like read your mind and she is not having a bar of really he's like I'm thinking of like a feminine kind of energy is that and she's like but you could just like say that about anyone oh that's so mean though I'm trying to his job I know I've never watched Wednesday but I hear it's great you're a goth girl why have you not I guess it's sort of felt a bit childish for me. It's like not though. Like Tim Burton has done an amazing job of making it good for like children ish, but also adults. Fletchy? Well I've said this Money haze. Money haze. But I will say

the creators, the people that made money heist, because it finished what, 2022? Yeah. It's the last one. They have a brand new show coming out which has been produced and made in Spain. It's called billionaires bunker and it's out tomorrow on Netflix and it's about a whole bunch of billionaires that live in a bunker under the ground, aesthetically, watch the trailer. Phenomenal. It looks amazing. Oh God, yeah. And Money Heist vibes. We went to play the audio but realize Spanish on radio

doesn't really translate. Yeah, Shannon was going to give us an audio clip of the trailer and I said, I don't know if that works on. But it looks so good and I'm, the people I watch Money Heist with the first time, we're all going to co-watch it. So every episode, um, debrief because it's just to be so good. We have some messages in from our lovely listeners. People are saying, because I'm watching Shameless, I'm watching the American one and people are saying, no, no, no, no, watch the original,

watch the UK. You're not watching the UK? Why? No, I don't know. I just, here I am, and I'm in season three, and I've got to keep going. And then I'll do the UK one, and someone just messaged in, the summer I turn pretty, I'm a dude and I am invested. We are a week behind Carlin and I watch it together every week and we're watching the two episodes

including the finale tomorrow and we are dodging spoilers hard to that. I remember. But the summer I turned pretty. It was the day I was born. So anyways, the day I was born. It was December 1989. We were all too, far too delayed there with our silence, guys. I've got to work on that.

Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. So there's been a study. This is crazy. And, I mean, it is out of America. The survey shows the average child these days gets $119 a month in allowances. Like pocket money. Sorry. I'm sorry.

What? Are they even having to mow the lawns? and do the dishes and clean the house. $19 a month, that's nuts, say. Far out. I mean, that's $30 a week, which when you break it down like that, you're like, oh, okay, in this day and age, we didn't. We didn't get allowance.

It was like you could ask for $20 and it had to cover the bus, the movie, the food, the snacks and the bus home. Now it's probably not even going to cover the movie. It's literally not at all cover, Jack. So this gave me an idea because I know an adult And I won't name names That gets an allowance still from their parents Despite being late 20s

He's not here, it's Vaughan. No, he would wish, he would wish. No, I won't say names. They are in their late 20s And they get an allowance from their parents For Mum and Daddy. Just because Mummy and Daddy, I don't know, they're cashed up. Yeah, why not?

They love their little boy? It makes me want to roast them My parents don't give me an allowance. I mean, they helped me through uni And didn't they pay your insurance until last... Maybe that's not fun money for me. Didn't they pay your phone? Even that's not fun money.

That's just sort of like stuff that they absorbed. Three years ago? I was earning more than my dad. And you were like 30? That's insane. Your parents were still paying your bills? It was just sort of a hangover. Yeah, you're like, I'm still a poor artist.

Yeah, yeah. Hey, I'm just a little funny girl. So on the back of this, the fact that kids in America now average a hundred dollars a month in allowance Is there an adult Or do you know of an adult That still gets an allowance Maybe you would like to admit this

But mommy and daddy still pay for something That's okay And that's okay We're not here to judge Yeah I just want to know like What people are getting their pocket money for Yeah I love it

Yeah maybe your parents do give you A little bit each week And it's like that's for your something I mean if they can afford it And they love doing it I do you know what I reckon It's going to be mostly dads and daughters Yeah

Or yeah It's all right I'll give my little girl some money everywhere. I'll give you $100. Oh my dad. When I was at uni all the time, you'd ring. Hi, Dad. He'd be like, hello.

And he knows. He knows straight away. And he'll wait till I ask. How are you? I'm good. How are you? It's coming. I'm just doing this.

I'm just doing this. It's coming. What do you want? I just wondered if I might be able to borrow 50 bucks. And of course, he always said yes, right? Oh, always. Okay, this is what we want to know. Oh, 800,000, Diles at M is the number.

Give us a call. Text in. 9-6-9-6, already getting messages. And do you know, already some jaw-dropping amounts? Yes. Okay, give us a text. Do you still get an adult allowance? No one's willing to come on air with us, but we have a lot of messages.

I genuinely thought that maybe we would struggle with this. No. No. I get $15 a fortnight. I don't know how that works. Why bother transferring it? I mean, I guess it's like a subscription, right? Yeah, I guess so.

That pays for your subscription a month for a streamer. My friend, well, yeah, it would be nice of Patsy chipped in on my Netflix, but I don't know. Well, she's kicked me, she's had me kicked off. She has. She's had me kicked off the family Netflix. I'll tell you why, my mum said Haryatu. She was like, Hariartu Fletch. Goodbye.

Rude. My nan gives us $300 a month towards childcare for our kids. That is so sweet. Nanny? Yeah. Kiora Nen. My friend, $1,000 a month from their parents, plus extra pay if she does do chores around the house.

A thousand dollars. You could get like a cleaner for like, sure, I don't know what cleaners cost, but surely it's not that much. But if they cleaned it would be extra on top of the foul. So that's just a good amount. But are you like creating someone that just always wants this handout in their life? You're telling me, if your parents were cashed up and they said, Fletch, we want to give you $1,000 a month, you'd be like, no? I'll be like, absolutely pay me now. Yeah, take it.

Here's my bank account. You've got a pen and paper? And I'd probably become a terrible human. I get $100 a week as a 25-year-old. They cut my younger brother off years ago. You're the favourite. I'm 30 and my parents give me $500 a month. Do you still get an adult allowance?

This is blowing my mind. Me too. Man. Well, no judgment. No. I'm just like if your parents are in position and then why not? I mean, I would like some free money, sure. Absolutely.

Mom and Dad. You know, a lot of parents are doing that thing. Like, I'd rather help you now while we're here and alive. rather than you get a big inheritance at the end when you're older like I'll just give it to you sort of pepper it throughout your life but I mean people are living longer these days

you get to the end you don't have any money for care I guess you just have to live under a bridge yeah sniffing a sharpie okay some context producer Shannon just walked in with a Sharpie pro permanent marker

and was like it's a real sniffer now we're not in The sniffing of Sharpies. No, no. And then I said that's how Haley and Fletch ended up living under a bridge with no money, just sniffing Sharpies. Smiffing Sharpies. Because it's addictive and it's naughty.

It's naughty, but I got a little tingle. Anyway, some messages aren't so many. I'm 29. Hang on. I did just get a little bit of a head rush. Okay, I'm good. That was water. I'm 29, Mom and Dad pay my phone bill in health insurance.

That was me. That was you, yeah. phone bill and health insurance for ages. You've been cut off now though. It was just like it just ticked over until my parents were like, you've got a job, out you go. Heidi artu, she said to ma'am. I'm 25 with my own house and my parents still pay for my car insurance,

sometimes my red joe in any work for my car and my phone bills on a family plan. My three-year-old gets $250 a fortnight. What? Oh, like, are they putting it into a savings account for them? you need swimming lessons, new shoes, etc. That feels like a child, maybe a separation.

All the parents give it to them? I don't know. Like her parents or their parents? Oh yeah, maybe. Yeah, like Nana Pop, give $2.50 a fortnight but to buy all the good things. That's cool. My dad pays my phone bill still and I'm 34.

It's not an allowance as such, but my mum comes and lives with us for like five months a year. She's from the UK and honestly go when she's here, it's so good because we don't buy groceries. We barely put fuel in the car. She's a delight. Oh, it's so sad when she goes back to the UK and we can't afford steak anymore.

I'm at university and my mum gives me $200 a week but she refuses to let me work because she is worried it'll affect my grades. Oh, that's nice. Like focus on uni. She's going to be so pissed when she finds out just you're out every night drinking.

Not really, yeah, yeah, that's my parents. Not really an allowance, but I never change my address when I get fine so they just go to my mum's house and I don't pay them and my mum just seems to take over them. my 45 year There's so many

My 45 year old brother Gets free rent and power What? I'm 41 with three children I work full time as a teacher And I just bought my first house At the beginning of the year by myself And my mum and dad still send me

$300 every few months To get clothes for myself and my kids My oldest daughter's 21 My parents still pay for my dentist every year I'm 27 Okay that's a good That's a good one I get $100 a fortnight

For my grandma Because she's rich She does this for her eight grandchildren I'm 29, the rest in their late 30s and 40s. What a gem. And still get the money. Yeah. That's insane.

I mean, like, there's so many messages. Like, I can't stop scrolling. My, no allowance, but mom got her inheritance and gave my oldest siblings 1K, the middle two nothing, and me 15K. Okay, what did the middle two do? Can they, you need to message in and tell us what the middle two children did to not get anything? And what did you do to get 5K more?

than the other ones. No, no, 15K. Oh, and the other's got 10. No, one. Oh, the oldest got one, the middle two, nothing, and me 15. Oh, so you're the youngest, the baby. So when the middle, yeah, so when the middle two flipped out over the oldest one's money, being like, she got a thousand bucks, we got nothing.

I just stayed zip. I got 15 great. Play ZM's Flashborn and Haley. The name's Katie. We're students of your work. crime nerds. So you're like the bad girls. And you're like a mango with teeth.

What? Is that what I look like? Oh, shit. And how lucky are we, the two of the stars, Craig Robertson, who I love from the office. And Sam Rockwell, who we love from everything, but most recently, White Lotus. Yes. Join us now. Hi, guys.

Hello. Quick question before we talk. Craig. Because my dad's name is Craig, and in New Zealand we say Craig, but everyone keeps saying Craig. Which one is it? There's no Ian. There's no Ian. You know what?

I accept both because I've grown up hearing both so you're both right. But when you think of your cell... America says Craig. Craig. Like, a lot of people see it as Greg, but then there's Craig with the C.

You've heard creak in America? But 10 people go, Craig, Craig, Craig. It's a lot of different ways to say. But you would say the name Greg, G-R-E-G, Greg, wouldn't you? Greg. It's just feels a bit hypocritical, Craig. Do you know what I mean? There's a lot of them.

sort of inconsistencies. Craig and Greg, yeah. I think I just created a sitcom. Can I just call you Mr. Robinson? I don't want to make things too formal. Hello, Mr. Robinson. This is my IG Heddle, yes. Yes.

Now, guys, I have to ask you in particular, Sam. Do you find it hard to have a mental reset inside of yourself after the absolute filth that you spilled in White Lotus to then move into the realm? I don't know what you're talking about. That's a clean show. I don't know what you were drinking on that day But honestly

Was it hard to go from that Into something more appropriate for children? You know I consider myself You know an actor that does a lot of stuff A lot of different things I consider you that as well Versatile

Visitile I was going to say viscital It is versatile Do you know we were also asking ourselves Before whether or not people of your calibre still need Headshots because Fletch had to get as much... What kind of shots? Head shots.

Like, head shots. Had shots. Because I just got my new passport photo. Do you guys just use your headshot for your passport? It's a 9-5. Yeah, basically, that's what we do. I just wondered, because I had to go to a shot. And a lady took my photo.

You say, hey. Your passport. That's right. At customs, I just go, hey, man. Look at GQ, dude Exactly Exactly What do you want for me?

Look at Google It's called Google Now I don't know how these movies To put together these animated films But do you guys record together Or are you doing everything individual? Both Right

But Craig was alone a lot I'm not really sure I was alone a lot It's not As sad as it sounds I was in the booth And I had the director And the producers

Who are very talented Very funny and very passionate and we just would play and you know create that chemistry that transferred to the rest of the cast sometimes Sam will be what you tell

well sometimes they would give you like they were very good like in the beginning giving you backstory and you obviously try to read the script occasionally but I think but in all seriousness

I think in these cases I find that animation, you really have to see it. You have to see the temp, what we call the temp cartoon, which is kind of like storyboard slash stick figure sort of moving, and it gets more

sophisticated as it goes. It takes a couple years to do it. And so I like to see a little bit of it, and then you know what you're kind of... You can do like sound effects. Why Craig or Craig or whatever, if that is your real name? Why were you so alone? Why are you

difficult to work with? Because I've heard other things. You heard you love you to work with, but obviously not. Well, actually, I worked with the other actors. I just didn't want Sam to know that. Also, Sam's difficult to work with, yeah, that makes sense. But since we're still talking about it, no, no, you know, it just worked out like that. You know, different schedules and stuff. And that's, but I'm sorry, that's not even, typically that's how it goes.

Every once in a while, do I end up in a booth with somebody. Amazing. Well, guys, thank you so much for your time this morning. We really appreciate it. The movie is out today in New Zealand. What is that backdrop? Oh, it's New Zealand, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Flat of the Concord. Shout out. Yeah. Germaine. Germaine. Thanks so much, guys. Appreciate it. We'll send you back.

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. I'm not inventing this. Just before anyone's like, I've been doing this for ages. But I am a. big fan of quick protein. Okay.

You know? That's why often you'll see me sucking on a protein yogurt pouch. Because it's just like on the go, we've got to go. Yep. And you love a bachelor's handbag. I love a bachelor's handbag. You buy the bachelor's handbag. You eat the best bits just as they are.

And then you sort of pick away at it. You make some wraps. Maybe use a little bit on like a little pizza or something like that. It goes a long way. Yeah, it does. See, the other day I was at home and I I was really, really hungry and I was in the mood for some chock

and I'm trying to, I've neglected any and all thoughts of health for a good few months now. Yeah, okay. Coming back. Now is not the time for a blowout, you know? So I was at home and I have all these vegetables and everything

but I had no protein. And I was like, I need a chook but I'm not getting in the car at this point and going to the supermarket and getting a chook. Then I was like, I'll see what's on the old Uber Eats. Don't come for me. I know that we're just supposed to be...

Don't come for me. I was on Uber Eats and I was like, where can I get a chicken? Like, I just need a chicken. You know what I mean? Obviously a dead cooked one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got off the live animal tab on Uber Eats. We can get a fresh, fresh cow delivered for you to butcher yourself.

And I was like, who's going to do me a chook? And I didn't, because I'm trying to be a little bit on the healthiest. I was like, I'm not talking your deep fried chickens. Okay. I'm not talking your chicken burgers or your KFC chicken or anything like that. I was like, I just had a chook. And then I was like, oh my God, do you know who does like a great chook? Indian takeaways.

Oh, yeah. A tandoori chook. Oh, yeah. With all the pasts on it and you just get a chock. So I go on my local Indian takeaway, of which there are about nine. Okay. So I got on the one that I liked and there it was. It was a Tandera.

chook you could get a half or a hole and that was it wait it's not in like a curry or anything it's just a whole chook okay that's good okay right yeah okay you know what i mean okay yeah so i go okay full chook yeah i will say significantly more expensive than a bachelor's handbag i'm not so this is not a money saving hack this is a chook hack when you need a chicken i order you're too far from a supermarket i am i am what is this at like 15 minutes drive no no it's only like 10 minutes but it was the end of the day too so the chook sort of been swat-air and dry.

You know what I mean? You've got to get them fresh. So I ordered, from my Indian takeaway and this was the hardest bit, I ordered, added tandoori chalk. Half a hole, I said whole, put that, add to cart. The hardest bit was leaving

without being like, and a butter chicken. Oh yeah. And you know when they leave and you go to the next tab and it's like, do you want to add some? And I was like, yes I want to. But I shouldn't.

I shan't, I'm here just for the chook. Chook arrives. I thumb the ch' and it was amazing. Like, obviously a tandori chicken, delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious. And it wasn't bad at it or anything. So I'm like, I'm feeling healthy enough. Yeah.

And then, so now I've got this whole tandoori chook. And I have been treating it like I would my bachelor's handbag. So I sort of peeled it all apart and like peeled it all off in the things. Yesterday I got home quite late because I was filming something. Yep. And I made tandori chicken wraps. Yum. Yum.

Because I had all these like, I just said, whatever. I had an avocado. I had some hummus. Like, we are really mixing cuisines here. And I put it all in. And now I'm like, I can't. go back to the handbag chook. A tandoori chook is... Some of the handbag chooks are different flavours.

None of them are cooked in the tandoor oven. Yeah, yeah. It's got the charred smokiness, like the bright orange flavors, the spice. But is it more expensive than a bachelor's handbag, even if you picked it up? It is, but how I've seen it is, the way that they've prepared it, it makes it much easier for me to break down because it's not all in the sort of slop of the bag. And so I'll often, and I'm a disgrace to say it, I'll often waste a bit of a handbag chook

because it sort of gets a bit gnarly in the sack, you know, of all the juices. Whereas if this, it was just like, flavour, flavour chicken. Someone just message, Haley, this is genius. I know. This is your new way of, but it's more expensive. Quick chook. But can't you buy them in like the frozen section?

Have they been pre? No, but you're not cooking them in the traditional Indian oven. I'm sure I've had a half or one of those butterfly chickens, tandoor-flavored. Yeah, but that's made by a white man. Do you know what I mean? And you can tell, and it was cooked in a white man's oven. Right. This is an Indian-made chicken with Indian flavors in a traditional Indian tandoori oven.

Right. The flavor. Like, I can't go back. And I really read it. Does it even make the dry breast bearable? So bearable. Okay, yeah, good. All right.

So when you've cracked the bachelor's handbag coffee. Yeah, if you're at home and you're looking for your pantry and you've got some wraps or sandwich bread and limp lettuce and a dip of some kind, you're like, I'll just get Uber eats. You can. But just get the tannery chicken and make yourself sandwiches. I'm going to make a tandoori chicken salad today. Better living, everybody. Better living, everyone. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Haley.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. In the absence of Vaughan Alan Smith today, he has provided us today's fact of the day in this Pickle Week, which we actually decided on on on Monday. Love it. It's a great theme. It is a great thing. Today, the, good talking.

Today, the fact of the day for Pickle Week is there is something called a coolicle. A coolicle. Cool, I'll give you a clue. Cool is spelt with a K. I've got still a new idea. Coolade. Oh, coolie.

Coolicles are coolade and pickles. They're usually made by soaking classic dill pickles in a coolade solution, cherry. So we would use like a raro. Raro. Okay. We'll call it rarical. Rarical. Rarical.

Okay. The brine goes neon. The pickle flesh turns bright red, purple or blue, depending on the flavour. Okay. And the flavour is a wild sweet, sour or salty mashup, those are my favourite pickles, the sweet and sour ones. They're the best.

So you just think like Rarol Kool-Aid, which is very American, because this is where it came from, Mississippi in the Delta region. Popular in small towns across Mississippi and parts of Tennessee. Thought to have started in a corner store in the 1990s, early 2000s, where jars of coolicles were sold for kids as a cheap.

So basically you're opening up a jar of your pickles. You're pouring in your Rarade or your Kool-Aid or whatever powdered, sweet, sweet beverage. Eating the pickles and then drinking... Shaking it up, leaving it for a bit, and then opening it, drinking the brine and eating the sweet pickles. You know, we talked about how pickle juice is, and a lot of sports teams have pickle juice for cramps. Cramps. That would be the ultimate marathon drink. Yeah, because of the sugar.

Because of the sugar. You're getting your sugar and your electrolytes and stuff. Yeah. Or you could use like a powdered gatorade or a powerade. So you just tip out a little bit of the brine and you put in your Raro. Yeah. I think I'm going sweet navel orange. No, no, no, I want to go tropical.

Go raspberry. Go raspberry. You seal it, you shake it. You've got to leave it for minimum a week. So we're repickling the pickle with Raro. And then the longer they sit, the more like the vibrant color comes in. So you bite into it and it's gone like pink or purple. Those American colors like the reds that are.

all banned in Europe and New Zealand. Because they're driving up the wall. They're going to be like bright. So you've got the crunch and sourness of the pickle. Then you're the candy sweet. Oh, yum. Because they use cherry coolade. We're like cherry would be so good.

They say like a warhead candy with a cucumber crunch. That's a review. Wrong but right at the same time as another one. And then it's gone, it went crazy in pop culture in 2007. Everyone was talking about them. And now you can actually, like, bar. them pre-done. Wow, okay.

Someone made a coolical or a rar-orical, we would say, cocktail. Oh, okay. So you're taking some of the brine, the sweet, salty brine, you're adding gin or vodka. I'm understanding this. Yeah, that would be a good mix. Yeah. The sweet and the sour. Yeah.

Okay. So some variations of this. Someone's done cool cool, cool snow cones. So like put the brine through the ice, shaved ice. or added instead of Raro adding flaming hot Cheetos dust. Very weird. Okay. Anyway, so today's fact of the day on this pickle week is that in Mississippi there is the Koolakle,

which in New Zealand would call the Raricle, which is when you add a powdered sugar drink to a jar of pickles, and apparently it's delicious. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I do do do do do do do to do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. Now right now I want to hear from you, y'all out there with uterus that every now and then sheds. Because yesterday my bestie was messaging me in the morning full late. and I was like man this is a real like change in tone

where her headspace has been recently she's usually for me the voice of calm and I'll have and she'll be like hey hey hey hey and then she gives me a really good perspective and I'm like this is why you're my best friend I'm the chaos you're the calm yesterday she was losing it and I was like okay

this is all good and I did a bit of calming I'm not as good as it as her and then yesterday on set I was filming something yesterday and hashtag pregnant My belly looked... We don't know we don't do hashtag anymore, remember? Do we not?

No. You think you're onto a trend. Neckminor, it's not relevant anymore. We don't say neck minute either. Don't groan at me. But I had a belly that, like, I'm usually bloated because of my IBS, but it was a different, you know, the belly. A belly that wouldn't quit. It wouldn't quit, and it goes sort of liquidy.

Hey, and it's like... It's liquidy, but hard. Liquity but hard. There's a density to it. I know, and on the set of this thing, I can't talk about, but I was wearing very tight highway waisted short jeans, jean shorts. And I had to dome them around the belly. And I was like, what's going on?

And then I felt that little twinge on the right side. And I thought, oh, my God, looked at my period tracker app that I use. And I was like, ha, ha, ha. And then my phone went, ding. And it was my best friend sending her tracking, being like, oh, my God, I'm so sorry about this morning. This makes sense now. She was losing her mind.

I had the period belly. These are signs. Is there a feature where someone else can get the alert before it happens? Exactly, yeah. Wow. But usually mine's a mood, because I'll be like, do we need those kind of snarky comments this hour of the morning flinch? And then you would know.

And then I would know. Or I would say something. Well, you would think I would know. You were like, you know, like trying to feed a lion when you're like, here's your apple. And I'd be like, it's flowery. I don't want it. I took a photo of Haley before it.

I didn't show her. Yeah. Because he knows. I know. Slice by bar, can you feel which side you're releasing your egg from? Always. I can, always. Can you?

This month it's the right. When you said that To the ride My egg is being released From the ovary in the right So I mean Do you guys get the signs Mine's usually mood

I don't get a real one Because I'm on the pill But I get a phantom one And it's so funny Because I don't know I've got my period But then I'll be like Oh this makes sense Normally for me it's hating that I'm pale

Yes hating you're pale I fake tan as soon as I'm on my page Georgia at the moment with her problematic Australian tan. Yeah, I know, Ouse. So jealous. I know. But yeah, no, and I love to just put on something to cry. Yeah, I'm crying. It'll be mine. Mine'll be like hooking her shoulder. Carwin, do you have won? Yeah, I'm just starving.

I'm like, I'm hungry. I've eaten what I normally eat, I'm starving. And then I'm like, oh. Well, this is what, I mean, uteruses unite. This is what I want to ask our listeners right now. What is your dead giveaway that your period is imbound? 0,800,000. We want to take your calls? Well, my best friend and I have synced up

and we both had to apologise for our behaviour yesterday as a result. So we're just losing our minds and we're like, I feel these huge feelings and we're like, oh, when we saw our apps. So we want to know, uterus people. What is the dead giveaway that your period is imbound? So many.

I get super horning. Someone messaged down. Wow, okay. So I get super turned up. Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong. Do you know that's a whole thing Is because we're about to We're fertile

So that your body tells you So we can get a baby Okay Very confusing I lose all arm strength at the gym Oh okay To start to get weak A bit lethargic

Rage looming sense of impending doom And a super flat feeling stomach The day before Flat stomach Bitch I've never experienced anger stuff like that But about a few days before I get mine I'm so tired.

I could literally fall asleep standing up. Like bad bad, I don't drink coffee, but I know it's a few days away. I'm so tired. Jessica, what's the sign for you? I get really annoyed with the blankets on my bed and they don't feel right to me. Yes.

And then in the moment it sort of tugs on you the wrong way, you're like, I'm going to have it fit. Yeah, like it just doesn't fear right. I'm like, no, I don't like these blankets. And then I get my notification. I'm like, that's why I don't like my blanket. Ah, it'll make sense now. I mean, it happens every month.

You'd think you'd know that the blanket thing was coming. I reckon that, yeah, I reckon Fletch just watch what you say. Yeah. Yeah, because I think I've synced up as well because I was annoyed with my blankets last night too. Oh, Jessica, I've got some alpha ovaries. They're controlling the nation. I think so. Oh, no.

Alpha ovaries. Yeah. Someone messaged in saying that they think women's periods and perimenopause symptoms are getting worse because of toxins. Oh, I. making us all full of the bad stuff. Someone said my husband has downloaded the app on his phone. I wondered how many husbands or partners would have this because it would just be brilliant to have some warning.

And he checks it and is like, oh okay, so in this week, this is how I behave. In this week. Ask to go fishing with the lads before this time. Ask, don't tell. That kind of stuff. When I want to all of a sudden murder my whole family. Someone messaged it.

Oh, okay. that's when you know. We don't act. No. Okay, 966, keep your text coming in. What is the dead giveaway that your period is inbound? Georgia joins us, about to do the day show, play some songs. As always.

Yeah. And what is your dead giveaway sign that your period's inbound? Mine, because yesterday I looked like, honestly, four to five months pregnant. Oh, so it's the bloat for you. The huge bloat, but it's like a watery, it's different to my, like, IBS bloat. I've got tears of bloating. It's so fun. Yeah, that's interesting.

Mine's straight cry. If I cry multiple times, we know that it's on the horizon. I'm just going to cut my kiwi fruit while you two talk about this. I think it is best if you should give here. Yeah, honestly, Fletch, don't you dare have an input. Yeah. I'm not having an input at all.

I'm just here pushing the buttons for this segment. I feel like the women needed this today. Okay. Because there are so many messages. Starving, ugly and considering divorce, said someone. I'm a literal psycho about 24-hour. hours before my period starts. My poor husband and kids, nothing is right, highly

irritated, and as soon as it rives, sweet as. Uh, Ruth, what is the sign for you? Morning, guys. I have a 13-year-old daughter. Oshed. We'll be a mess together. So a week before our period, we'll just cat fight, we'll argue over the smallest things. And, um, I think I just heard Georgia say that she's a cry. We both cry as well. Oh, no. Honestly, it's the tears.

It just... Just crying, eh? You could look at Fletcher's Kiwi free to just could I... He cut it wrong. Yeah, I know. You cut it wrong. What gets me is I'll end up on TikTok

and watch like coming home videos. Yeah. They just set me off. But yeah, so we're both due for it because we're, this week's been crazy. Right. Are there any men in the house, Ruth? Do they evacuate during that time or just battened down the hatches?

I've got three sons. I'm a single mom on my own. know. But the uncles around the family, they know just to shut up. Shut it. Yeah. Be quiet. Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. Roe, thank you for sharing. It's awesome. It's not awesome. It's awful. It's all. You're sorry, it's awful. Awful. Sorry. I don't know what to say. I thought you were supposed to not have input.

I'm just going back to my Kiwi fruit. We have hundreds of messages in. I feel like the women just we've synced. My period sings up with the moon. So when there's a new, moon coming. It's a dead sign. Good for fishing though. Fair. Never catching. Isn't it good to catch you on a full moon or something? I'm about to hook you. Isn't there a tide chart with the moon? My wife

is... You tell me, Fisher. Oh my God. My wife is my angel, someone text in. However is the next word. However. There's always a however. Exactly. And I mean exactly a week before her period, she will become a monster. And because it's so unlike her, I spot it immediately and I tell her to check her app.

dangerous and she snapped out of it because she becomes my angel again that's cute I feel like oh yeah I get mad at my partner before it's due I've read it's because he didn't get me pregnant so naturally my body thinks that he's not worthy enough yeah that's the thing oh that's a good way of looking at it's the animal instinct

so we get Randy because of the hormones yeah that's the best part then the man doesn't fertilize us and so we're like pah you serve no purpose get out rage cleaning That's huge. Yeah. I rage clean and my husband just existing makes me want to set him on fire.

Do you rage clean? Yeah, I rage clean. You should come clean my place. Oh my God, that would be perfect. Love this idea. Oh my God, imagine a fight. Because you'll just come into the house. I'll just open my home to rage cleaning pre-men and poor women.

Oh my gosh, that's a great business model. That is so good. And you don't have to pay for it because they just want to do it. Menstruation maids. That's the new company. Love it. And you get women on different days. Yep.

And then you go, that we come and we're men straight made. But you make sure that they're not ever going to meet because you don't want them to sink up or anything. So you're going to make sure that their roster never crossed. It'd be bad for business if everyone synced up on your employment schedule. It would be. On the cleaning schedule. This is so good.

I just saw such a good one. Where is it? Oh my God. It really made me laugh. Pimples is an absolute giveaway. Oh, yeah, for sure. Massive increase in bra cup size and also two. Two cages heavier, yeah, I always do that.

I get constipated for three days, it's horrible. But then period poops, it's the best release. Someone said itchy boobs. Oh. Their skin itches. I start to hear the Jaws theme tune. I'm the husband. Dernet.

I have many digestive noises, bass treble and a high-pitch whale in my stomach. It's a whole symphony, both very amusing and annoying. I've, is it rage? We've got rage, rage, rage. Accident prone and clumsy. Eye clean, everything has to be spotless. Yes, to the flat stomach the day before. That's so the opposite for me. Migraines. I cry at everything. A remotely sad TV ad will absolutely get me going. How about the one hearing other people eat gross as you are? That's a thing, eh? Yes. Can you please move because I will.

Yeah. Honestly, I feel sorry for the partners out here. Farts. Oh my God, we haven't talked about the farts. So yesterday on set, I had to keep leaving the same. Yeah. And put my hand over my chest mic that was on and be like, and you're like, ah.
