Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Oh, we were just marvelling Sam's pronunciation today, all Māori. Beautiful way to start the day. Beautiful, beautiful. Unfortunately, Vaughan not here with us today. Yeah, just two of us. Just the two of us. Someone has COVID. Big, thicky second line, didn't he? Yeah. So he tested on, what was it, Friday night, he told us. No, Saturday.

Yeah. Friday, Saturday? Friday. Or Thursday. It was Friday, which felt like Friday. Yeah, that's why I'm confused. Yeah. So still feeling a bit groggy, so he won't join us today,

but maybe tomorrow from home. Maybe. Because you still have to isolate for seven days. Yeah, we're still doing that. We're still doing that. That's today's cylinder poll. Do you think that we should still have to isolate? Because there's a couple of states in Australia you don't have to.

All right. Hey, speaking of seven days, that makes a return this week. The comedy television show. The comedy television show. The comedy television show. Are you on this week? It's on Thursday this week, and I'm on it. I'm on the... Unless you get COVID from Vaughan.

Oh. Nah. Enough time's passed since I intimately shared the small chimney with him. Well, his wife still hasn't got it, and she's sharing a bed. Yeah. So we could be fine. Well, maybe they don't. Maybe they are already sleeping in separate beds. And they won't tell us. And this is how we found

out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the silly little poll on the way. We'll do the top six today, too, even with Worn Away. I'll give it a whack. You'll give it a whack? I'll give it a whack. Tesla has revealed that they can see the cameras in the cars. So ex-employees

have admitted that, yeah, they've for a laugh, gone through photos. Yeah, this is alarming because my car is my private space. What happens in the car stays in the car. So I'm going to do the top six things that Tesla employees saw. Next

on the show though, the UK looking to ban something. Yeah, I know. Devastating. A convenient thing. There's a packet of them right in front of us here. Well, yeah, calls for New Zealand to do the same. We'll touch on that next. There is a survey that was conducted in New York.

I believe that's in America. And it says the average person feels insecure five times a day. I don't think I clock. Five times. If you were doing this survey, would you go, got it, that one. I felt insecure then. There's another one. You'd really have to think about it, wouldn't you?

Think about it, yeah. Mine just permeates all day. So five times a day that they would have a moment of insecurity, this can be like just a general feeling or brought on

by different situations. Right. So speaking in front of a large group, we know that that's like a global fear. Not us. We're speaking in front

of a very large group. No, but see, I can do this and it's fine. I don't even think about it. No, I know. Whereas a large crowd, I'm like, oh, there's so many people. And I can see, you know what's worse than a large crowd? I can do a large crowd. It's an intimate group of people that you know.

You know. Same. That is the worst. Same, same, same, same, same. I hate it and I do not want to do it. I know. I've got my comedy fest show coming up, right? And Aaron was like, should I come on opening night?

I was like, absolutely not. No, you don't need to. You can sneak in on the side. Yeah. One night that I'm not aware of. Yeah. I'm the same. I'd rather talk to a thousand strangers than 20 friends.

Same. Okay, that's one insecurity. That's one insecurity, speaking in front of those that love you the most. Not being properly prepared is another thing that's one insecurity. That's one insecurity, speaking in front of those that love you the most. Not being properly prepared is another thing that brings on insecurity, feelings of insecurity. So you may be turning up for a meeting, you haven't done the work, you know, not putting in the... Or you just turn up to work and you feel you're just not good enough.

Wow. Wow. Do you want to talk? You're so good with the buttons. Oh, no, thanks, thanks. The slide, you got the little slidey things. I do, I do the slidey things. You're so good with the buttons. Oh, no, thanks. Thanks. The slide. You got the little slidey things. I do.

I do the slidey things. You know all the artists' names. No, no, no. I didn't mean I'm turning up here. I was meaning up. David Guetta is up next. Yep, that's next. See, I can do that.

Baby Rexha. Yep, I can do that. You're so good. Thank you. Another thing that brings on feelings of insecurity, starting a new job. Yeah. Yeah. But you say people every day.

Every single day. It's got to be little things, right? Yeah, I'm sure it's not like huge, overwhelming like. Like you're not going to be talking in front of a large group every day. No. But this is on average. Right. Then they said they worked out some ways on how to gain more confidence.

Right. During your every day. Topping the list, adopting a positive mindset. Oh, okay, yeah. No thanks. Gaining support from family and friends. Yeah, we love that. Being prepared.

Yeah. Got to do the work. Working out. You love a bit of that. No, but maybe that makes people insecure as well. Like they go to the gym and they're like, oh. Oh, I know. I can't lift as much as that guy or I don't look as muscly as that person.

Especially our gym. In your bit where you are, good Lord, it's quite competitive. I once took Aaron to our gym and he was like, I feel like I've got to get fit before I go there. Oh, wow. Yeah. But he was his unit. He like I've got to get fit before I go there. Oh, wow. Yeah. But he was his unit. He's a big unit.

He's a hottie. He's a big unit, yeah. But you've, yeah, that's a weird area. Yeah, I feel like a lot of people would feel insecure at the gym. Yeah, totally. You literally are in, especially women, skin tight clothing. Yeah. In front of mirrors.

I'm in skin tight clothing yeah I've seen you you've seen yeah I've seen you I wear the onesie sometimes yeah you wear that leotard yeah when you're doing the deadlift

it's just better for yeah for movement I just feel though I can really see everything yeah you can when you're wearing that

yeah and um I've been asked to stop wearing it all I'll say is well done yeah thank you thank you. I've been asked to stop wearing it. All I'll say is well done. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Really have seen it all.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly. That silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Today's silly little pole.

Well, if you're just joining us, you'll realise there's an absence of one male voice in the room. Vaughan's gone. Vaughan's gone. Inappropriate behaviour in the workplace, I believe. He's been dismissed. No, it's COVID. Too many submissions to HR and he's gone. It's COVID.

It's COVID. He's got... I mean, for us, this is quite selfish, but the best time for him to get it was over Easter when we were off air for all those days. A couple of days. Yeah, he'll be back. He'll be back.

End of the week. He'll be back. Friday or maybe next seven days. We won't hold him to anything. Yesterday he was feeling a bit rough. He was, yeah. That's why he's not on this morning. So he's resting up. He is resting.

But the rules are still, if you are test positive for COVID, you have to stay at home for seven days. Australia ended theirs on the 14th of October. So what's their thing now? Nothing. Oh, you've got to work. They say if you can stay home, if you're not feeling well, stay home. Much like the flu.

Yeah, right. There's no rule. It's not mandatory like it is here. And apparently the government are looking at it in the next week or so. Oh, okay. But they've kind of indicated nothing much will change because nothing much has changed. Well, maybe we'll submit our silly little poll to the government because we've actually conducted our own research.

Asked our listeners, do you think we should still have to isolate at home for seven days with COVID? 52% very tight. Oh, it is. Said no and 48% said yes. So that's a real split. I know because people still have concerns about

immunocompromised people, old people. We don't want to just be out and about with COVID. Isn't it bad whenever I see anyone with a mask in public, I think, oh, you've got COVID. You've got it. You're just sneaking out to get some groceries. Some salami. Yeah.

Well, some feedback. Amanda says, I just had my first ever positive COVID test yesterday alongside my husband and two babies, day one, and already want to kill each other. Set us free! She wants out. How until now have you managed to go without getting COVID?

Like, are there any novids listening? Yeah, well, Shannon, our very own Shannon, has not had COVID yet. You're a novid. How have you managed this? I'm quite, well, I wouldn't say I'm lucky, but I don't have an immune system, so we think I can't catch it.

But touch wood, who knows? I feel like you not having an immune system would make you more susceptible to it, but no. No, honestly, I feel like I know as little as some, you know, it's a hard disease to know much about. Roll with it. Yeah. Roll with it. So currently a virgin.

Would you rather... Oh, well we didn't ask you that question, but that's alright. We can talk about that in another break. Good for you. Would you rather people stay at home when they're sick or you don't care anymore? I respect what people want to do. I'm a bit more hyper aware, I'd say, because if I caught it, it's a lot more

severe. Like, I've got a respirator booked at hospital, so if I caught it, I go straight in. You've got a VIP suite. VIP. Straight up. Oh, nice. Can we go? Yeah.

Hi, my friend Shannon has a VIP suite, and I was just wondering if I could use it. You can borrow my respirator. Yeah, I'll borrow it. Okay, cool, yeah. Silver linings, you know, for these almonds. Absolutely. Brianne says, at the very least,

people should have to wear a mask when leaving the house, but I also reckon you should have been doing this for any flu, cold, contagious thing this whole time. Yeah, but that's not, we didn't do that. We didn't. A lot of Asian countries, they did that. Yeah, yeah. And they're wearing masks on planes and stuff.

Smart. Now that masks are more normalised here, I don't see why you shouldn't try to avoid spreading sick masks. So she's saying that you should stay at home or at least wear a mask. Or at least wear a mask, yeah. Oh, I've clicked out of it. But then would you want somebody,

like would you want Vaughn to be at work today? But you kind of want it now because you've got a lot of work. I'm a very busy May. And you don't want to get it in May. Oh, I've been a busy May. I did consider popping over. We've both just booked our boosters, which are available if you're over 30 and...

Six months. ...haven't had COVID within six months. Yeah. Oh, this is really going to delay Vaughan getting his booster. I suppose it is a booster. It is. Getting COVID. Kelly says, I'm a parent of two children,

one only three years old, so too young to be vaccinated. Plus, I have an immune compromised parent. My main objective is protecting the vulnerable people in our communities. I think a lot of us agree with that. Yeah. Having said that, I'd be keen to see the seven day ISO period potentially reduced to four or five days, providing the proof is there regarding the infectious period. Because they did say it's like the infectious period was only like.

It's the first three days. First three days. Yeah, something like that. Yeah. Katie says, I got COVID last July and I'm still struggling with a cough. Now I have chronic bronchitis

and I'm currently pregnant so I can't take Lemsip. You're not allowed Lemsip? Is it because of the paracetamol? Maybe. I can't have decent painkillers as well if I get sick. People should stay home if they are sick in general. Yeah.

Great. I've got a bit of a sniff. Maybe I'll go home. Are you good? Have you got this whole show on your own? You've done a COVID test. You're fine. I did do a COVID test.

You're fine. It is a big neggy. And Amy says, I just had COVID for the first time. Amy! Are we congratulations? Are we congratulating? Also, Amy, charge your phone. for the first time. Amy! Are we congratulations? Are we congratulating? Also, Amy, charge your phone. Oh, my God, what is it?

No, this is Shannon, charge your phone. Shannon, are you on how many percent this morning? No, no, no, I was working late last night, don't you worry. That was a screenshot from whatever time I screenshotted that. Thin yellow line. Oh, my God. No, 100p right now, don't you worry. You're on 100p right now.

Okay, all right. Good, because you need to book that VIP suite. You can't be running on a 2% battery if you need to get to your... Yeah, when you're in the suite. When you need to get to your VIP suite. Amy says, I just had COVID for the first time. I was so unwell. There is no way I could have left the house any earlier than seven days.

Even if you don't feel as unwell as I did, you should still give your body a chance to rest. It's kind of a good forced rest. And your employer can still claim money for you to ensure you get paid while you're off. Oh, can we get money with Vaughan away? Can we have Vaughan's money because we're doing extra work? I feel like we should.

Okay, we're going to investigate this. That's today's Silly Little Pong. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Vaughan at home sick today with COVID. Got the vid? COVID-19, the vid. So studies looked at how much pet owners spend on their pets. If you had to work out in a year what you spend on your pet, do you even, I mean, food?

It wouldn't be anything compared to a dog owner that can get like collars and leads and little jackets. Registration. Yeah, registration. Chew toys. I've got a cheap cat. Yeah. He's pretty cheap most of the time.

So this is US currency, $3,200 a year. So like five grand? And that's pet owners. Jeepers. So that's dog and cat and all. Yeah. Everything like vet visits, food and clothing toys. Clothing.

Even tech. I guess like what? High-tech pet feeders. Well, you've got one of those. A little cat fountain. I've got a cat fountain, yeah. And you've got quite a high-tech poop tray. You know, it's like. I mean, no, it's just literally cat litter.

No, but my poop tray was like a large Sistema with litter in it. Well, I can compare it to a Sistema. Yes, it's bougie. And yours has got a little hole that he jumps into, and it's all very private. Yeah, he's getting too fat, though. He's going to get stuck in the hole. He'll jump in and won't be able to get out. He won't be able to get back out.

But this study looked into a whole lot of stuff about pet ownership, and it found that 41% of people are more likely to spend $100 on their pet than their partner. Yeah, I'd agree with that. For example, we came home, right? We went away this weekend. We came home and Rolly, oh my God, it was so gross. Aaron, Rolly had been in a fight a couple of days ago and we were like, oh, he's all right. Rolly like picked him up to like give him a cuddle like, hey boy,

and like smeared his face against his face. And then Aaron was like, oh, my cheek is wet. And he was like, oh, picked him up to, like, give him a cuddle. Like, hey, boy. And, like, smeared his face against his face. And then Aaron was like, oh, my cheek is wet. And he was like, oh, my God, something stings. And then he was like, dude, this is rough. And then he said to me, he was like, oh, how's that thing? Raleigh's got, like, poo on his face or something. I was like, what? He was like, his face is wet and it stinks.

Oh, yuck. And Raleigh had this cyst on his neck. Yuck. That had burst and Aaron had smeared his face against it. Did that like, and you guys don't have a shower at the moment because you're doing renovations. He was straight to the sink with like the soap. Yeah.

But anyway, he'd had this, he'd been in a fight and it's quite common with cats is they often get like a little bit of a claw stuck in the neck and it makes a cyst. So, like, if Aaron had been in a fight with, like, a huge gross thing on his neck, I'd be like, wash it up, put a plaster on it. You'd be fine. Yeah, whereas I was like, to the emergency services with my boy,

and it was so expensive. Yeah. Because you, you know. Oh, because it's the weekend. It's a public holiday. It was a public holiday that we came back. How much does a vet cost on a public holiday? It was nearly, it was $400 with antibiotics and painkillers.

Oh, wow. In the after hours service. And he got a little shave. I know. Wow. Yeah, so he's an expensive cat at the moment. He's expensive. For a plastic bag cat. She also said, so he's an expensive cat at the moment. He's expensive, yeah. For a plastic bag cat.

She also said, what's his breed? And I was like, plastic bag cat. She was like, domestic short hair? And I was like, oh, yeah, okay. Some sort of weird mongrel. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. So some ex-Tesla employees have revealed that when,

because there's cameras in the Teslas, right, capturing all sorts of things at all times, that when there would be interesting things, it would like circulate through the office via email. So things like, there was like, someone like hit someone with their car and then it just like went around the office, like gossip, funny dogs in the cars.

Some guy approaching his car naked. Totally naked. Which I guess if you live in the middle of nowhere, right? And you were naked in your house, you're like, I just need to get something from the car. Why wouldn't you? Why would you put clothes on? I only put them on because I have to.

Yeah. And so this has got a lot of people going like, oh, my God. Like, what else have they seen? Because if you think of your own behaviour in a car, when you're on your own, my mind's usually I sing a lot. I have a lot of conversations with myself. Yeah. Yeah, you've done some things.

I've done some things in a car on my own, you know? Yeah. So I have the, shut up. I have the top six things ex-Tesla employees saw you do in your car. Number six, you definitely just changing the music on your phone and not texting. Oh, 100%. I was just changing the

track. Yeah, 100%. I would never text and drive. Of course. I was just getting tired of the song and you know, like, how else am I going to do it? I mean, there's a whole display there, like your phone is synced up with the display. Yeah, I know, but sometimes my phone, like, the connection's not quite strong, so it's just easier to, like, just quickly have a quick little change.

Number five on the top six things ex-Tesla employees saw you do. Your rendition of Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back to Me Now. Oh, my God. Imagine, like, the bad singing montages you could do from in-car. Oh, no. It's like the shower. The car is so private. You really go for it.

You're like, I wonder if I could hit that note. Baby, no. It's like the shower. The car is so private. You really go for it. You're like, I wonder if I could hit that note. Baby, baby. And you're like, I hit it. I hit it. I'm great. I've nailed it. New Zealand Idol, here I come. Number four on the top six things ex-Tesla employees saw you do in your car.

You going to town on your nostrils. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're digging out a big boy. And then where do you put that big boy? Flick it on the floor. Under the seat? On the floor. Just flick it straight.

Just wherever. Yeah, okay. In the footwell of the passenger side. Yeah, anywhere. In the air somewhere. Anywhere. It's no longer my problem. It's out of my nostril.

Yeah. Number three on the top six things ex-Tesla employees saw you do in your car. You trying to navigate steering the wheel while also holding dipping sauce with one of your hands via nuggies and trying not to drip any down your front. You need those. What were we sent by the lovely listener? We were sent a little

nuggy dip sauce thing. You put it into the air the vent. The air vent. You clip it in. Like you do like a Glade clip-in or an air freshener. Yeah. My only issue with that is that it's still quite far away. So I'm driving, right?

So I've got my right hand on the wheel. I've got a nuggy in the left. I'm going to reach right forward and then carry that wet nuggy. Yeah. There's going to be drippage on the gear stick. So you'd like to see like something that clips in maybe an extendable arm. From the wheel. From the wheel.

Directly forward to the chest area. You couldn't have it on the wheel because then if you turn a corner, your nuggie saucer goes down. No, it needs one of those stabiliser things. That when you turn it, it remains straight. So it's always, the nuggie saucer's always level. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

There's an idea. There's a business idea. Number two on the list of the top six things ex-Tesla employees saw you do. You getting in after a date and just utterly letting rip. Because you can finally part. And then you just sit in the stink enjoying your own unique aroma.

It's like, wow. It's got a lot of layers. Yup. It's been a rich weekend. It's been a very rich weekend. And number one it's been a rich weekend it's been a very rich weekend and number one on the list of the top six things

ex-Tesla employees saw you do in your car whatever it is you were doing with your boyfriend parked down that dirt road off State Highway 1 whatever that is

whatever you were doing probably just looking at nature probably just having a chat about like where's our relationship at where do you see this going that's probably what you were doing yeah

that is today's top six. Chef Gordon Ramsay, very famous chef. Maybe the most famous chef. Yeah, he's not as yally anymore, is he? No, he's calmed down. Kind of chilled out a bit. I follow him on the social medias and on the YouTubes. And he's got great cooking videos.

And he's got that TV show where he goes around with his mates. Fun. And just has a laugh. I would love a TV show where I just went around with my mates having a laugh and eating food. How do I get that? I think you've got to be quite famous. Okay, tick. What's next?

So Gordon Ramsay was he was being interviewed and he had three golden rules for eating in a restaurant. Right. The things he always swears by when he's going there. Do you remember that food blogger recently or just some guy on TikTok, he's like, the way to pick like the best Chinese restaurant was like,

was it four stars or three and a half stars? Do you remember that? What was that one? Yeah. Because he said those ones are the most like authentic and the best. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't go somewhere. Don't go for like five stars because it'll be too expensive.

Yeah, and it'll be Pākehā people being like, they're sweet and sour pork rules. And you're like, cool, awesome. Cool, yeah. So his three golden rules, the first one was be wary of any place that throws around suspicious boasts about the quality of their food. He said words like

famous or best in the country. Like my famous you know like Susie's famous lasagna. Yeah. The best burgers in the country. Because he's going, who said that? Yeah. Who named that? Put a credit next to it.

So avoid that. He said he also has a special trick for getting the best bottles of wine for a bargain price. This is coming from a man that's worth like, let me Google. Millions. What do you reckon? Ramsey. 89 million, I'd say.

Do you reckon? Net worth. He is worth 63 million US dollars. That was in 2019 by Forbes. He's doing alright then. They were laying in, oh no,

another one here says 220 million. He's not worried about the increasing. Oh, so his net income per year was 60, so he's worth about

220 mil. Right. 60 mil a year. But, oh yeah, but yeah, if you need to get two dollars off that bottle of wine, hon. Yeah, well a year's worth about 220 mil. Right. 60 mil a year. But, oh, yeah, but if you need to get $2 off that bottle of wine, hon. Yeah, well, here's the trick, you cheapskate. He said you should ask for the bin end list, which comprises of bottles with scratched labels or vintages that haven't sold well.

I'll take a scratched label. Yeah, but if they're not selling well, that's because they're not great wines. Because they're yuck. Because they're yuck. Yeah, but I'll take one with a rubbish label. Oh, yeah, if it's a nice wine with a scratch label. Yeah, but if they're not selling well, that's because they're not great wines. Because they're yuck. Because they're yuck. Yeah, but I'll take one with a rubbish label. Oh, yeah, if it's a nice wine with a... Stick a peel off.

Yeah. And then he said the other thing you should avoid is the soup of the day. Oh, yeah. And he said a way to figure out whether the soup of the day is actually the soup of the day is to ask what the soup of the day was yesterday. And if the soup of the day yesterday was pumpkin and the soup of the day today is pumpkin. Or just anything of the day. Yeah, he's saying you're more likely eating the soup of the week

or potentially the soup of the month. The leftover soup of yesterday or Wednesday. Yeah, so he's going, it's not fresh. He thinks, yeah, a lot of the time it's just a big vatter. I remember someone saying that about buffets. They worked at one and they were like, never go early because it could be yesterday's, a bit of leftover from yesterday.

Oh yeah, you gotta wait till they're freshened. You gotta wait till like later in the night when it's all like fresh stuff. He actually chucked in a bonus one, even though he said three things. A little tip, if you're going for a romantic evening.

Okay. He said, when you book, book a table for three and it reduces your chance of getting stuck in the corner or like right by the door in that little gross two-seater. And then

when you get there, say, oh, someone had to pull out. And then they just remove a chair from a three-seater table, more room. Or they just put you on a two-seater in the corner. Oh, yeah. I hate that. Or they charge you $50 because that person didn't turn up. Yeah, yeah, you've changed the booking to last minute.

And you've taken a table. Not worth it. Well, last few weeks we've been giving away trips with our competition Next Flight. We did, and Ben won, was it our final trip? Yeah, Hawaii. I believe, all the way to Hawaii. Well, we're going to talk to Ben because he has a bit of an update on what happened on that trip. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

And one person who was very happy they didn't have COVID was a friend of the show now, Ben, who won our trip to Hawaii. Hello, Ben. Aloha. Hello. Oh, nice. He's aloha-ing now, is he?

Aloha. Do I detect a slight Hawaiian accent that you've got there? I've actually got a massive blister on my lip. Oh, wow. I got badly sunburned. Rookie. Yeah. The sun, it's as harsh as it is here in New Zealand, the sun there.

It is, yeah. No, the lip balm came off, so. Not too much smooching. Oh, no. A bit of smooching, I think. Tell us about the trip. You've had an amazing time in Hawaii. Yeah.

Yeah. No, it was awesome. It was awesome. The first day was we just had a look around and there was like this big, huge outdoor mall. I think it's like the biggest in the world or something. Wow. Someone was saying, so there was so many shops there,

so we were there for a while, and then we went out to the clubs that night. Hit the clubs. Yeah, we met up with a lady that was a real estate agent, and she led us through to the VIP area, which was Oh! We love a VIP area.

Which was great. Oh, wow, a VIP area. Which is great. Oh, wow. Okay. Yes. And then she contacted us a couple of days later and she took us around the island. So that was quite cool. So you sort of introduced a third on your romantic holiday. A little bit, yeah.

Okay, it's up to you, Ben. You do you. You do you. You do you. Yeah, we're very friendly. But you've got a bit of a... Something happened. Something exciting to share with us. Yeah, I got engaged, which was quite cool.

Wait, you popped the question? I did. I was really trying to get it down to the fireworks, because they have big fireworks on Friday night. Yeah. But I couldn't get it down there, and I was really stressing out. I was like, shit, what am I going to do now? And then, so, I just

did it on the balcony of our hotel, which was quite nice. We had a nice sunset there. Oh. And did you say yes? Wait, before we celebrate, did she say yes? Yes. Okay, imagine if you were calling us to say I propose. Otherwise, the lady from the VIP area might have said yes.

Well, she sounded so clean. She sounded like she could be keen to say yes, didn't she? Well, probably. And so, wow, and so she said yes. Yep, yep. So she was very shocked. She didn't turn around. She seen me on my knee, but she didn't turn around.

I was like, come on, I've got to turn around. I thought you were fixing your jandal or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, adjusting your jandal. Oh, good for you. I'm so glad that you took the opportunity. Yeah, thank you. When's the wedding, and are we going casual, are we going formal? Because I need to organise a dress.

Formal, definitely. Okay, yeah, formal, great. Well, Hayley's a marriage celebrant for another wee while. Yeah, you'll have to get it done before October because I'm not going to renew the licence. It's too much stress. All right, we'll try. So you've got a few months to sort it out and you'll do your wedding.

Well, Ben, our next flight winner, engaged. Oh, congratulations. Wow, I feel like we had a part in that. We were Cupid. We were. Wow. Thank you, guys. Amazing.

Well done, you. Ben, congratulations. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. And for you, I have a study, and it is one I agree with And I've been vocal about this in the past But this is from the Michigan State University 20.9%

So we'll say 1 in 5 Because I went to a private school Of adults Don't want children And then they researched people Who hadn't had children later in life And the vast majority of them don't regret not having children. Oh, wow.

That's always the thing that I get, which is like, won't you regret it later in life? And I'm like, what, when I'm like on a yacht? When I'm drinking champagne on a yacht? No, I won't regret it at all. Won't you regret it? When you're still raising that thing? Yeah, when it's still at home, when it's 30 and it's just like.

Oh, God. Get some toast from the supermarket. Now, look, I literally just spent the weekend with my friend and with three friends and a very fresh baby, a one-week-old baby. Oh, wow. Cute. Like, so heartwarming. It was so lovely.

And we're a group of four, these women, and three of them have kids. So you're the only... Me and Aaron were the only ones without kids. Oh, wow. But then did you leave them all so you could go to the pub? Well, no. They actually took the kids to the pub.

Oh, okay, great. They were good, including the one-week-old baby. Everyone at the pub was like, wow, these are my friends. They're very, like, they actually took the kids to the pub. Oh, okay, great. Including the one-week-old baby. Everyone at the pub was like, wow, these are my friends. They're very, like, chill. Yeah. And this one-week baby was just at the pub and having a lovely time. And then there are moments where you look at the baby and you think, oh, that's nice.

You're made of human. Yeah. My friend couldn't believe it was a little boy. She kept saying, like, I grew a penis. I grew that. I grew a penis. I was that. I grew a penis. I was like, that is incredible that you did that. Yeah.

But nah. But nah. But nah. Because the endocrinic babies are like golden retriever puppies, aren't they? So cute when they're young. And then you're lumped with it, aren't you? And it grows up and it's not cute and it shits everywhere. It shits everywhere and it, like, can't get up on the couch

and it's got, like, weird legs and it's, like, It shits everywhere and it like can't get up on the couch and it's got like weird legs and it's like more annoying than anything. Because that's what I see when, because you know, the conversation, we're surrounded by babies, we're celebrating babies. My other friend had her two kids there. My other friend,

her two kids were sick so they weren't there. Any, you know, last ones, Hayley and Aaron? It's like, yeah. Well, that's how I feel for the couples, the one in five, that throughout

their entire lives have to put up with those questions. Yeah. Especially from parents, like, oh, when are you gonna?

Oh, oh, must be. Are you? And especially for the couples that can't. Especially.

You know, not the ones that choose not to, but the ones that try and can't. Every time you ask that, they have to go through that whole pain. I think that's a more

sort of accepted thing now that like sometimes it's a choice. A lot of the time it's not. And so you just don't ask. Don't ask a woman if she is pregnant because even if the head is

out, I wouldn't assume. You would never assume. She's in a hospital bed and she's got a head out. She's in a maternity ward. She's in a maternity ward and she's saying, get this baby out of me. I still would not say, are you pregnant? I wouldn't assume.

I wouldn't assume. Did you have a big lunch or are you all right? And then, yeah, never ask couples if they're going to have kids. Why? No. So you didn't get clucky at all after the weekend? A slight cluck. A brrk.

There was a brrk. Maybe a little brrk. And that's it. And then when I left. Yeah. And we got home and I left and I'm in an Audi, you know, and there's like no kid seat in the back. Yeah.

We're cruising along. We stop. We get some nonalds. Yeah. I don't have to get the kid nonalds. We're cruising along. We stop, we get some nonalds. I don't have to get the kid nonalds. I'm saving money. Then we get home and we just relax and we go to the pub. You know what I mean? Did Aaron get clunky?

I don't think he got clunky. I think he would be like sure. If I really pushed for it, he would probably be down with it. Okay. But otherwise, more non-olds for you. And then someone keeps saying like, yeah, but what's your purpose in life? I was like, to have fun.

Isn't that a great purpose? You agree with me here. Yeah, I agree with you. My purpose on this earth is to entertain and be entertained. How good does that sound? Sounds perfect to entertain and be entertained. Yep. How good does that sound? Sounds perfect to me. And margaritas.

Oh, lots of margaritas. And don't have to stop. You don't have to be like, oh, I better stop because I've got the kids. I've got to look after the kids. Endless margaritas. Endless. Next on the show, there is a man in the UK that has found out after 20 years he's been eating something wrong. What a nitwit.

Play ZM's Fletch Vornanalee. Play ZM. A review on a supermarket website has gone viral. This was on the Tesco's website. Oh, I love a Tesco. You know, you shop online and you just put a review underneath it. Do our online shopping like

you know, there's Amazon. Do we review them? But like supermarket items don't have reviews. Don't they sometimes go, like if you do a countdown order or whatever, they'll go how did we do? No, but not the products themselves. You're not like, oh my god I really love this milk. I don't know.

Blue Top Milk was real yum. I don't think I love a review. I take it as rote. I believe in it. Yeah. No, can't wait. I take it as Ro. I believe in it. Yeah. No, can't weigh in saying. She hasn't seen it. No, none. So there was jelly that this review was for jelly.

Now, I didn't know this, but in the UK, sorry, where Tesco's is, and the jelly that they have in the UK, they make their jelly, they buy it in cubes, like sugar cubes. Oh, okay. So it comes cubed, and then you put the cubes into the bowl, and then hot water. Right. Dissolve like you do crystals.

Like an OXO cube. Yeah, like an OXO cube. Right. Or a stock cube. But a sweetie one. And so this man, his review said, thought the cubes tasted great, very strong and a bit chewy. And then it's, so they found this guy and it turns out that for 20 years he was eating jelly cubes.

And he thought they were like lollies. Has he never seen jelly, like a bowl of wobbly jelly? Yeah. I don't know. Weird. Thought the cubes tasted great. But a bit chewy. 20 years this man has apparently been eating jelly cubes.

How did he get it so wrong? I don't know. Thinking that that's what he was buying. If you're believing this, if it's to be believed. But yeah, apparently. Maybe he was just buying a little sort of sugary treat. Yeah. And I mean, like when I, you know, like,

did you ever eat Raro after school? I hoovered it. Yeah, all the time. Because it was yummy. You just pour it onto your hand know, like, did you ever eat Raro after school? I hoovered it. Yeah, all the time. Because it was yum, eh? You just pour it onto your hand and be like, and just like tongue it off your hand. Or just lick your finger and poke it into the jelly crystals or the Raro. Sherbet?

Is sherbet still a thing where you like lick a lollipop and dip them? You used to get those little bags with the straws in them, eh? Yeah. Oh my God, yeah, the little bag. Yes. I think you get straws now with them in, like big straws. Yeah, yeah, I've seen those. So I wanted to ask the question this morning,

is there a food that you eat unconventionally? Yeah, maybe not the way that it's intended to be eaten. Like, this also comes from after-school snack. You couldn't be bothered cooking the two-minute noodles, so you just crunch them up in the packet. I knew you did that. And then sprinkle the flavour on them. And it's like a biscuit.

And then you eat them like chips, like hard chips. We used to try to see who could eat raw pasta noodles the quickest at high school. You know, you get raw pasta noodles and it's like... Yeah. Which is pretty gross. It doesn't taste like anything. No. Or what about people that eat like subs long ways?

Oh, like a hot dog but get it from the side? Oh, like a hot dog, but get it from the sides. Yeah, like a hot dog, but from the sides. Because a Subway, oh, hang on. Yeah, no, you go in. Or people that deconstruct burgers. Like, you get a Big Mac, but then they take off the bun and they eat that. I've seen that before. And then they eat the other bun and they eat the middle bun.

Yeah. And then they eat the patties and the lettuce. Now, show sponsor has perfectly curated the stack. Oh, they've perfectly worked on this. Yeah, over the years. You've got to have the stack. You know, I've... What about people that eat burgers with knife and forks?

Like, would you buy a Big Mac or a Cordy P? Now, look, every now and then when you go to the pub and it's one of those really massive burgers... Oh, you have to. You've got to. Same with a pizza. You know when you get those big kind of wood-fired pizzas and sometimes they're a bit sloppy joe? You have to. You gotta. Same with a pizza. You know when you get those big kind of wood-fired pizzas and sometimes they're a bit sloppy joe?

You have to. You gotta take it with a knife and fork, which I know is sacrilege, but you gotta do it. All right, well, all 800 dials at M. Would love to take some calls now. You can text through 9696. What foods do you eat unconventionally? Maybe people pick you up.

They pull you up on it. They're like, that's weird. It's like Vaughn eats the apple core, and you eat the kiwi fruit with the skin on. Bit weird. Bit weird. Good for the poops, though. A man, it turns out, in the UK has been eating jelly cubes for 20 years. He hasn't been adding the water.

From what I can see, we get the jelly crystals, but it's like an ice cube tray. And then you add water and then it... water, and then it... It's like those stock, it's like those little jelly pot stock things. You still have to like, thin it out with water. But he's just been eating them like lollies, like hard jubes. So we asked, what do you eat

unconventionally? And some of these are psychotic. Now Steph, I appreciate you listening to the show. We really do, but you're a monster. Yeah. You're a monster. What food do you eat unconventionally? I only like feijoa skins.

I don't like the inside. Wait, so do you spoon out, you cut a feijoa open and you spoon out the good stuff? No, I peel the skin off and eat the skin and throw the other stuff away to the horses. How the hell do you peel a Fijoa?

It's all potato peeler. Oh, so you eat like... Wait, wait. So you don't eat the flesh. You're just eating the green bit. Yeah, because it's nice and smooth. The flesh is all gritty and right there, like,

smushy and... I just repeat again, Steph, you're a monster. She's not the only one, though. There's so many people messaging him with bizarre Fijoa habits. What is wrong with you people, Steph? Steph, thank you. Some more messages in.

Someone, I only eat the Fijoa skins. I eat the whole Fijoa. I cut Fijoas in half lengthways just to be a mad lad. I'm sticking with it. No, that's not the way to do it. Hang on. We've got some more messages in. Kit Kats, I bite multiple bars at random.

Shame on you. You've got to break the finger off and then... Yeah. Turner says I eat kiwi with the skin on. I do that. I do that. You can. Only for the golden and the new red ones.

Yeah, the green one's too fuzzy. You can't do it. Don't be. Don't be like Steph. Catmumgem says she eats a McDonald's cheeseburger, bottom bun, then the top bun, then the patty and cheese. No, what are you doing? What are you doing? You don't deconstruct Anani's burger.

Yeah. Sushi, I pick them up with my fingers, not chopsticks. Come on, Daniel. I literally, you see me do that all the time. Almost daily. And Caro says always, always eat pizza from the crust end and no. No, Caro.

That's a weird one. Some really weird messages coming in. You're being bombarded, in fact, by messages from you lot listening about the foods that you eat unconventionally. There's a guy in the UK that said that he ate the jelly cubes before adding water. So he was like, they're really, really strong.

We've had some strange messages in. One I love, I make meringue mixture Which is raw eggs and sugar Just to eat it raw Yum No, you've got to bake it No, it's yum, it's like cookie dough It's up there

Yeah, my partner eats apples from the top down Rather than around the court Absolute psycho Do you eat like the bowl Like how would you? How would you get your? Oh, I can't even. That's weird.

I deconstruct my Big Mac layer by layer and dip each layer in sweet and sour sauce. Oh, okay, I'm here for that. I've done so since about 15 years ago. A lady in the UK was doing it, and I've always done it since then. Well, so they saw a lady doing it. Yeah, and they were like, I'll give it a go.

But then every time you buy a Big Mac, you're going to have to buy, I reckon you'd need three pottles. Yeah. Two? Because you've got three buns in a Big Mac. You've got three buns. Two meats and cheese. Because quite often I might use a bit of excess nug sauce to soak up a bun.

Oh, same. Same. Sweet and sour sauce. Yeah. Also, more on this after 8 o'clock. My stance on sauce. You've been betrayed. I've been utterly betrayed.

Yeah. We'll come back to that. Someone says, I don't do this. I don't do this, but my sister does. She eats a chicken wing with a knife and fork. Whereas your normal person would go savage at it yeah a lot of feijoas um i eat my peas with honey i've done it all my life it makes the peas taste really gross but it keeps them on the fork wait so it's it's a sticking

issue not the fact that it makes them taste nicer? Yeah. Oh, no. Someone said I eat condensed milk out of the can. Honey, that's the only way to eat it. That's the only way, yeah. That's delicious. I mean, you could put it in fudge and stuff, but...

Why? It's already delicious. Yeah, you don't need to. Marina, good morning. Hi. What's the unconventional way that you eat a food? I eat raw potatoes. Oh.

What? You should try them cooked. They're fantastic. Do you eat, like, chunks, or do you, like, get the peeler and just peel layers? Ever since I was a kid. Yeah.

We've lost her. Oh, God, the tease. The tease, Marina. The tease. Ever since I was a kid. It bonged her off. It bonged her off. She's gone.

Okay, we'll finish it. Ever since I was a kid. It bonged her off. It bonged her off. She's gone. Okay, we'll finish it. Ever since I was a kid, I wasn't allowed to boil a pot and I just had to eat the potatoes raw. So I nibbled it. I reckon she's a nibbler. I eat the top off a pie and then eat the filling with a spoon. Yeah, that's

I've seen that before. But then you've got to eat the dry. Sometimes the pastry's not that great. Yeah. I... Wait, I believe we may have Marina back. Marina? Yep. I had money on the fact that you're a nibbler. Were you nibbling or were you peeling?

No, mum used to peel them and chop them up and then I would just eat them in big chunks and I still do today. They're so starchy. They're so yuck. Why? They're so starchy. They're so young. Why? They taste like... Yeah.

They taste like dirt, but no, I don't know what it is. It may be the texture, but I just love it. Wow. And you still do it to this day. Marina, you're an absolute freak. I still do it to this day. Freak. Yeah, my kids think I am too.

I bet they do. Marina, thank you for calling Some more messages My kids eat frozen peas, corn and raw broccoli I like a bit of raw broccoli but the frozen peas and stuff Let's get it better than eating lollies I eat my ice cream with a fork

What? Ew, my son loves a peanut butter sandwich with raisins on it Ew, that's not right loves a peanut butter sandwich with raisins on it. Ew. That's not right. Nah, get a new one. Trade it in. Trade it in. Ew.

I unwrap my sushi. I don't eat seaweed fish poo in it. It's delicious. It's delicious. It's delicious poos. My friend likes to consume a baraka by licking it like a lollipop until it dissolves in their mouth. Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. Your tongue would be literally bright orange too.

Yeah. When I was a kid, I used to pour milk over frozen baby peas. Like it was a weird healthy ice cream. Oh dear. Oh, chicken sandwich with tomato sauce and salt and vinegar chips. Yum. I'd absolutely eat that. Good morning.

Good morning. What's your unconventional way to eat a food? I eat Easter eggs with hot chips. Wait. How do you combine the two? So you break up the Easter egg and then put it on top of the hot chips. Wait, you're eating chocolate melted over chips? Yeah.

Okay, before, I'm just deciding if I'd like that. I like chips. I like chips, and I like chocolate. And I like chocolate. It's really good. And it's a bit of salt in there as well, so it would be like a salted... Yeah.

Okay, that's all. I mean, I'm not willing to dismiss that just yet. Yeah, neither. I've got to go. I've got a red hot go, Tash. Thanks, that's all. I mean, I'm not, yeah, I'm not willing to dismiss that just yet. Yeah, neither. I've got to go. I've got a red hot go, Tash. Thanks, Tash. Man, there's so many strange ones. Honestly, so many of them centre around eating fruit bizarrely.

You just, you know how to eat it. Yeah. Eat it the way we were made to. Play ZM's Fletch Vornanale to. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. I am so excited for this film, the Barbie film. I am, was, always a Barbie fanatic.

I've got 52 Barbie dolls. You've got 52. And I've still got them all. And you broke the special Karen Walker Barbie. I broke the Karen Walker Barbie. In front of her in studio. I opened, I had a limited edition one. My dad bought me one.

I opened it and I played with it. And now she doesn't look very good at all. Worth nothing. Could be worth thousands. Yeah. But we've all been watching a little bit of the trailer for the Barbie film. I thought I might stay over tonight. Why?

Because we're girlfriend, boyfriend. To do what? I'm actually not sure. You're innocent. Children's toys. The longer trailer came out on what, like, Thursday, Friday? Yeah, because it was the first trailer, right, last year, and everyone was like, oh, my God, this looks incredible.

Greta Gerwig is directing it. So it's not going to be a Disney-style kids' film. And then there's Margot Robbie playing Barbie. Yeah. And Amy Schumer was supposed to play Barbie. That's right. And now Margotgot Robbie playing Barbie. Yeah. And Amy Schumer was supposed to play Barbie. That's right. And now Margot Robbie's playing Barbie. And then against her as the main Ken is Ryan Gosling.

And I was like, perfect pair. Yeah. Stunning. Yeah. Gorgeous. But people online are like, dude, Ryan Gosling is so old. He's way too old to be playing Barbie. To be playing Ken, sorry.

How old is Barbie? way too old to be playing Barbie. To be playing Ken, sorry. How old is Barbie? And how old is Ken? How old is Barbie? Like early 20s? You know, she was 19. I don't want to say 80. She's 83 years old.

Yeah. But how old is Barbie? How old is a Barbie supposed to be? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Too much Google. But everyone's saying like on the trailer, like, oh, my God, Ryan Gosling looks too old and too dry. Not sure if it's because of the hair or the tan,

but he needs some moisturizer. So he is 42. He's 42. He's 42. He looks great. Wow. He's like. He's 42. He looks great. Wow. He's like your age. His figure is my age.

Why don't I look like Ryan Gosling? Well, you've got a good face, but Ryan Gosling's got a better one. Undeniably true. Undeniably true. I'm not going to sit here and lie to you. Thank you for not lying to me. I'm a friend. I wouldn't do that.

You are. You are. But in the video, he looks hilarious. He looks great. He looks funny. But that. You are, you are. But in the video, like, he looks hilarious. He looks great, looks funny. But everyone's like, his wrinkles are taking me out of it. Oh, wow. But Ken doesn't have wrinkles. No.

So what, people are saying they should have gone for, like, an actor in their 20s. Yeah, but how old's Margot Robbie? She's always been young. Not how age works, Hayley. 32. 32. So she's my age. Right.

And she's got a better face than I do. I mean, it's undeniable. It's undeniable. You won't lie to me. I wouldn't lie to you. 32. 32. So she's my age. Right. And she's got a better face than I do. I mean, that's undeniable. It's undeniable. You won't lie to me. I wouldn't lie to you. We're friends. Yeah, Margot Robbie, very attractive. Yeah, so people are just not having a bar of the fact that he's too old.

The movie just looks wild. The movie looks so good to me. The trailer is like, this movie is either going to be incredible or it's going to be really bad. It's like Hollywood actors in their 20s. Who could it be? Because he's dyed his hair blonde. I mean, the main, Timothy Chalamet, get out. He's not buff enough.

He's not buff enough. He's not buff enough. See, Ryan Gosling's got the buff. Ken is buff. What is bloody Robert Downey Jr. doing on this list? No, that's too old. That's too old. That's too old.

Ryan Gosling, I wouldn't say too old. Jeremy Irvine, you think, should have been friend of the show. Jeremy Irvine. Yeah, I'd agree. I'll get behind that. People are upset. Well, either way, this movie is out soon. It's going to be a trip.

It's going to be a wild ride. I'm excited to see it. Cause like you watch the trailer. There's a naughty bit, like very, uh, what is the, what's the word?

What's the word? Innuendo. Innuendo. And then to the bar, it looks like the Barbies and Kens go into the real world. Yeah. Cause in the trailer, they,

I don't know. It's going to be wild. Go watch the trailer. Cause it's truly a trip. As you say. Next on the show. After. Yeah. I just, I'm heartbroken to be wild. Go watch the trailer because it's truly a trip as you say. Next on the show after Yeah.

I just I'm heartbroken to be honest. I think I'm going to have to leave my fiance of 12 years. Vaughan's away with the vid Yeah. today.

Missed out on a trip didn't he? Yeah. He was going to be heading down to beautiful Blenheim and couldn't go because the family's got COVID. Well, he's got COVID. But I went away this weekend, went to New Plymouth.

My hometown. Your hometown. Yeah. Beautiful spot. That's what I've been saying all this time. No one listens, are they? Yeah. It's not sort of like outwardly alluring,

but once you're there, oh my God, the monger moanga, because it was like a blue sky one of those days. Beautiful. The whole time we were like filming out the window for some content. I want to become a content creator. And it was just stunning, like a stunning drive from Auckland and back. Anyway, on the way back, we were a little dusty. So Aaron was driving because I was dustier. Yep.

And we left New Plymouth, left our friends. We were driving through and then we stopped somewhere like, I don't know where it was. It's not my, I don't know that road. I don't know those towns. It wasn't Te Kooti, but it was somewhere, somewhere. And we were like, what should we get for dinner? Saw a Nonald's.

Oh, right. And we go. Maybe Otorohonga get for dinner? Saw a non-olds. Oh, right. In we go. Maybe Otorohonga. I'm going to say Otorohonga. Probably. Because they've got a non-ease. Do they? Before you turn off.

Yep. To go to the, yep. Yep. Yeah, that's where we were. All right, that's where we went. Good to know where we were. And we went in. We didn't do drive-thru.

We went in because I needed a mimi. Yep. Went in. It was chaos as well. There were so many kids there. I was like, oh, if I don't have COVID I've got it now. They're all touching me. Anyway, so

we ordered our food. I got filet-o-fish, add lettuce. Shut it. Yuck. Filet-o-fish, add lettuce and gherkins. I got a plain cheeseburger as is because it's perfection. Don't need anything else. And a six pack of chicken nuggets. Perfect. There you go anything else. And a six pack of chicken nuggets. Perfect.

There you go. Perfect. Aaron got 10 pack of chicken nuggets, Big Mac, and one of their gourmet creations. Oh, he's a big boy. He's a big man. He's a big boy. Yeah.

Anyway, so then we went out into the car and we were going to eat it on the go a little bit. And he's like, I'm just going to quickly eat my nuggies now because they're hard to eat on the drive. Hard to drive and eat nuggies. And so he pulls out his pack of nuggies rips off the I don't want to get emotional but he rips off the lid of his sauce and that's when I look over

and I notice he's got barbecue sauce and I said, Aaron what the hell is that? He was like, it's my dipping sauce. Do you want some? And I was like, no bro, because I've got my own. I have sweet and sour sauce, which is the only sauce. The only sauce. It's the only sauce. It's the only sauce.

Unless they do that, when they did the sriracha. Sure, but that's not a full time either. The Rick and Morty one. Yeah. Yeah. He got barbecue and I was like, why did you get barbecue? He was like, I always get barbecue. And this is the first time you've ever noticed this in 12 years. Did you notice I'm not wearing my engagement ring today?

I'm serious about this, man. I'm serious. That is like, I know that McDonald's has to put on more than one sauce option, but we know that it's not there to actually order. It's just there for like bulk. People do. There are monsters out there that have barbecue sauce. I just feel like I've invested all this time in this relationship.

I felt like I know this man. I don't know him at all. I don't know who this person is. I can't believe it's the first time you've noticed he doesn't do sweet and sour sauce. I've just never sort of thought about it. I'm usually so involved in my own nuggies. But for some reason, I think I went cheesy beef first.

Oh no, I went filet of fish first because it's the freshest. It's just so sting bun. And so did you talk about this? Yeah, I just said, I said, this is a major issue for me. You're a monster. And then I opened my sweet and sour sauce. And I said, have a dip. And he had a dip and he was like, nah, barbecue is better.

What? Who is this man? Who is this monster? I'm like, I don't know. We've got nothing in common. We've got nothing to talk about anymore. So maybe not going through with the wedding now. We're not going through with the house. We're not going through with the marriage.

We're not going through with each other. I're not going through with the marriage. We're not going through with each other. I'm on the market. I'm on the market and all I want is you've got to be 6'6". You've got to be quite sort of hairy in the face region. And you've got to choose sweet and sour sauce. Scenario, Jason Momoa. Oh, don't do it. You go to Nonny's with him and he orders barbecue sauce.

I'd slap it out of his hand. I'd tell him he was an absolute idiot. He says, that's my only sauce. I would say, you're out of my life. You're gone. You are no longer attractive to me. Wow. That is an impossible scenario.

You can't do that to me. You think you know someone. You think you know someone. Yeah. And they go and shake up your world like this. I'm absolutely shook. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Yeah. Today's fact of the day is that in 1993, Mattel, who make Barbie, we're on theme today, accidentally released a super gay Ken doll. Accidentally? Accidentally released a, quote, super gay Ken doll. In 93? In 93. Okay, so that would have been very progressive.

It was very progressive. I mean, kind of. The 90s, we did sort of go back a bit after the 80s and the 70s. But what happened was Barbie was at the peak of her popularity because this is when I was getting Barbie all the time. Yeah yeah when i was a good girl get a water and a barbie get an i get another one to add to your thank you 50 barbies yeah so but the ken wasn't doing very well barbie was at a peak ken wasn't doing very well everyone was like he's lame he wears like satin tuxedos he's not cool yeah he's not cool at all so before before they just got rid of the Ken altogether, Mattel held a survey with children asking at the time, what is cool?

Now these are kids that would have grown up in the sort of late Madonna era, the late 80s, club culture. And so they told Mattel what is cool at the moment. And Mattel made that Barbie. The doll was called Earring Magic Ken. Wow, okay. He had an earring and you know there was the

thing of like if you've got an earring in your whatever ear, it's a symbol, it's a sign, you know, especially when people went out. But then even if you didn't have it in the other ear, everyone at school would just be like you've got it in the gay ear. I remember that.

And then nobody knew which ear was the gay ear. Oh, my God, you've got it in the gay ear. Oh, my God, I remember that so much. You remember that, yeah. Oh, my God, Jason got his ear pierced. It was in the gay ear. Okay. Yeah.

So he is wearing, it's so good. I just have to show you. One, he's in full purple. Like if they release a gay pride Barbie. This is him. Or a pride parade Ken doll, that would be it. He is wearing a purple mesh cropped singlet with a purple sort of motorcycle vest style vest over top. He's got a long silver necklace.

A lot of area out, like the sort of mid-drift area, top of the pubis even, low-rise jeans, and yeah, an earring in the gay ear. Wow. And then as soon as it came out, everyone was like,

this Ken is very obviously gay. And Mattel was like, we didn't release a gay Ken. This is just... A cool, what was cool at the time. Right. And they said, you know, the necklace is something that he could gift to Barbie.

Yeah. Or Barry. Yeah, or Barry. Or Barry. I think Ken was out while Barbie was sleeping. Yeah. So everyone, even though they were saying it was the new Ken, in the 90s it was known as the gay Ken.

Those would be an absolute collector's edition if somebody still had those in the packet. And then when mums were trying to like just get this earring magic Ken for their kids because all the kids want the new one because he's cool, a lot of queer men were selling them out by buying this gay icon doll. And it was, once it sold out, they didn't make it again because Mattel was like, they recalled it from the shelves. They recalled it.

He was, I mean, he's wearing loafers with no socks and jeans. Dead giveaway. Super gay. Super, yeah. Wow. So today's fact of the day is that in 1993, Mattel, who make Barbie, accidentally released a super gay Ken doll. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Apparently, according to this survey, this is in America,

but I'm sure it translates here. Half of people say the longest they've gone without ever cleaning their house is a month. Just a month. Anything, like not even vacuuming. No vacuuming, no scrubbing, no anything. 10% of people admitted they've gone more than six months without cleaning their house. That's disgusting.

That's gross. I'll admit I'm pretty bad with like mopping my bathroom floor But I feel like it gets kind of wiped down enough How? Like I don't know water from the shower and I'll just use the towel And I'm like that's enough Or I'll just do a spot clean if I see Yeah

I'm like that'll do Because you're mopping Mopping is a pain But I'll like every week I'll do a good vacuum Maybe a couple of times a week vacuum just because of the cat. Yeah, I mean, at the moment our house is literally like so disgusting because it's just a construction site. Yeah.

So when we get into bed, and the bed, by the way, is in the centre of the lounge, which is also under construction. You sit on the bed and then you have to pick up your feet and rub off all the dust and sawdust and grit and bits and then hop into bed and it's yuck. When your house is in a construction site you're normally very, it's very clean. Yes, well Aaron, Aaron

cleans and his father is a cleaner and they just sort of like, well he's not a cleaner he's a teacher but he cleans. Is it an OCD thing? Not quite OCD but just like he likes when I'll go like say the house gets in a bit of disarray and I'll go oh we should just do a quick whip around. Let's do

an hour on the weekend and we'll whip around and just tidy it and then I'll come in and he'll be like with a toothbrush scrubbing like the drawer of the bathroom vanity and I'm like no no dude we were just. We're just doing a little tidy. I'm talking like put your clothes away and make the bed. Yeah yeah yeah. Chuck a vaccy around.

See, I don't do a clean like that. I do a clean like that very rarely when I'm like getting a toothbrush or getting like... It all adds up. Yeah. If Simone Anderson has taught us anything on the social media, it's that you've got to do a little bit every week. Yeah. I think now that the house is going to be fresh and new and renovated, it'll be...

He'll clean very... A lot. Yeah, a lot. Well, that's good for you, he'll clean very. A lot. Yeah, a lot. Well, that's good for you. You can just go to the pub. Yeah, bro. Anyway, I wanted to know, with these dirty houses lying around everywhere. Well, especially what you're saying, one in.

One in ten. One in ten will go at least six months without cleaning their house. Yeah. That is disgusting. So things are adding up, right? The toilet's looking bad. It's stained. That is disgusting. So things are adding up, right? The toilet's looking bad. It's stained. It's gross.

Oh, when you go into someone's house and the toilet and there's just like, like they don't even clean. Or like the seat's up and it's like spritzed. It's like a little drop. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Clean it's gross. We want to know if you've ever gone around to someone's house, what is the grossest thing that you've seen?

Maybe you're a tradie or something and you enter people's houses all the time. Maybe it was your mate's house. Yeah, rag on your mates. You saw something really, really gross. That's the thing. You have a really messy house and you can live like that. No one else visits. But then, say, a plumber has to come around and fix something or a flat inspection.

Totally. I mean, you'd clean up for that, right? You would hope. Or like nurses do like on-call things. Yeah. Or delivery people. You have to go into the house. Yeah.

Fix something. What's the grossest thing that you've seen? Ugh. Stinky. Do we want to do this? Stinky. We can tap out. Messy.

Anything like that. What is it? Like hoarders' houses. Yeah, oh my God, it's so curious, eh? So one in 10 people, it turns out, are not cleaning their home for at least six months. Yeah. That is manky.

That is disgusting. It's a bit manky. And we've asked you this morning, what is the grossest thing you've seen in someone else's house? And I regret asking now. I regret asking. We're getting such funny messages in. Fixing pipes in the attic space

and was given a cup of tea. When I put it to my mouth, I noticed a baked bean was stuck to the inside of the mug. It had a crust in it. So it had definitely been in there a few weeks. Yeah. A baked bean in your tea? I was visiting an old school friend about a month ago,

walked in and there was a pair of crusty undies right by the door. I walked in further and she had a mouldy mug. When I pointed it out, she said it was her ecosystem. No. That's not how I... Was she not expecting... That wasn't a cold call, was it? No.

That's why you've always got to tell people you're going round. Yeah. Give them a chance to at least clean up a little bit. Christy, what's the grossest thing you've seen in someone's house? Hi, guys. Many years ago, I used to read power meters. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay.

And some of the older houses, their meters were still inside. Yes. So we had keys to access the property. And believe me, there was someone sometimes, and I just used to pretend that I had been there and just left a note saying access blocked. I can tell you some stories. Not as good as toenails in a jar.

That's a shock class. But I've had piles of dishes where I've gone and the meter was above, like, in the kitchen. Yeah. And a mouse jumped out at me from the stack of dishes. Oh, God. That is disgusting. I know.

I know. I've had a lovely older person that lived alone and they got a puppy, which I thought was great because it kept them company. Yeah. However, every time the puppy did its business, they would put newspaper down. And bear in mind, I'd only go every two months, right? One was an instrument, one was a read.

Yeah. Yeah, after about six months, I could no longer access the hallway because it was just covered in newspaper and stench. Oh! Oh, nice. What else? I could just go on.

You should write a book. You should write a book. I don't know if it'd be a bestseller. Yeah, I don't know if I'd read it, to be fair. I don't know if it'll be New York Times bestseller list, but I mean, it'd be interesting. Oh, my God, Christy. Oh, Christy. You obviously don't do that now.

That was enough to scar you out of that job. No, no, no. Don't get that now. That was enough to scar you out of that job. No, no, no, no. Don't get me wrong. There was some lovely people, you know, but, yeah, there were some people that, and some people were, you could tell they were a little bit embarrassed. Yeah. But some people just didn't care.

They were like, yeah, come on in. Oh, just climb over the pole of shit. Just climb on over. Just for a while. They just live like that. Yeah, wow. Christy, amazing. Thank you for sharing. Just for a while. They just live like that. Yeah, wow. Christy, amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Some more texts in. There's so many. So many. When I bought my first house, there were three generations of family living in there. They had jandals in the shower, which were stuck to the tray with dirt. So rather than clean the shower tray,

they just wore the stuck-on chandles when showering. Just like slide into position. You've got to stop the athlete's foot somehow. Yeah, totally. Oh my god, there's some. I was painting a house once and the owner used to tip the cat shit

out the window. It had climbed up the house to halfway up the window. So they just tipped it out and it was like growing. I went and I've seen it all, unflushed toilets, hoarders, even a rat's nest. I came in to fix a roof and the owner gave me a cattle prod to electrocute rats if they were there.

No, I would be like, find another plumber or find another builder. I'm not doing that. Yeah, and the shot glass person wanted to reiterate that the shot glass full of toenails was full. I had a flatmate who never cleaned the toilet because he said when he always went to the toilet, nothing ever splashed out. He didn't understand why people needed to clean toilets regardless.

No, no, no. Back to my London days. Oh, my God. Back to my London days, there was a bunch of Kiwi lads living in a different flat who had a wall where they all used to... I'm sorry. I started reading it without reading the end. A wall where they all used to... I'm sorry. I started reading it without reading the end. A wall where they all used to wipe their snot. It was labelled the Boogie Wall.

Yuck. Those people have probably grown up, moved home, and now have families of their own. Oh, my God. I would do this. I went to an old lady's house to do some plumbing work, and her dog was on the couch, but I didn't realise that she got her dead dog taken to a taxi tourist.

Would have just been staring at it like, is that thing alive? Oh my god. I've known more than one guy who would pee in a bottle in his bedroom instead of getting up to go to the bathroom and they were not quick at removing it. Yuck. Okay, people are disgusting. You need to take a good hard look

at yourself. Renovating an old batch at the moment. I've just found about a hundred... A hundred what? Used earbuds inside the wall cavity. Yuck, that is disgusting. Guys, there's too much. There's so much in it. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing. Thank you for sharing. Let's all clean up. It's so much in it. Thank you. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for sharing. Let's all clean up. It's a cleaning day today. Yeah. If you like today's podcast, tell your friends you could send them the link. And if you don't have any friends, just pretend you did. Yeah, great.

And rate and review. And maybe get out there and try to make some friends.
