Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Somebody's missing a foot. Oh, dear. I saw that in the news last week on an overseas website that a foot had washed up in New Zealand. And I was like, oh, they must have got it wrong or it must be an old story. Because it wasn't on any news sites like here last week. I didn't see it. No. It wasn't like big news, was it?

Was it at Petone Beach? It was. Yikes. Now, and police are giving no details. They won't even say if it's a left or a right. Oh, well, how will you know if it's yours? That I don't like. Right. I... This happens semi-regularly.

I know. Legs and such wash up. Odd, isn't it? Yeah. And not always do we get our answers. No. Yeah. Oh dear, well.

Stay tuned. Missing a foot. Police have got it, it turns out. Although I think you've probably missed a cut-off there for reattachment. Cut-off. Yeah, probably. It's got to be quite fresh. Quite.

You've got to put it on ice, don't you? It'll be very wrinkly. Yeah. One would imagine. It will be, yes. Joining us on the show today, Bad News Brad. Brad Olsen, economist. After 7.30 on the show this morning.

He's a good boy. He is a good boy. We've done another special podcast episode with Brad. So that'll be released today. That'll be good. Probably some good news. Definitely some good news.

Have a quick Google and see what... I think the OCR's going up tomorrow so that'll mean rates. Interest rates going up. Can I give a big Can we just stop

listening to them? Yeah, what do they know? Just shut up on the OCR for 15 minutes, will you? Well, you sent us your questions for Brad just about the economy and the state of things. So we'll get into that in the podcast special today and a little bit this morning after 7.30. The top six is on the way.

We're losing more nurses. We are hemorrhaging nurses and there's not even any nurses here to stop the hemorrhaging because we're hemorrhaging them. 5,000 since August have left New Zealand. And you can understand why. Like, the money in Australia and overseas is pretty good, isn't it? Oh, yeah.

I mean, if you can turn a blind eye to a variety of human rights issues, the United Arab Emirates, what a place to go and earn some money. Yeah. I've got the top six ways we can keep some nurses. Okay, maybe some incentives Do you reckon Yeah why not Alright silly little poll

Sweets and lollies and stuff Silly little poll coming up When I voted for this last night I could not believe Neither How ridiculously even And close this was Really

Hang on I missed it I didn't vote When you cut your nails Do you cut like around To go with the toenail or do you go flat across? Do you have a flat toenail?

Toenails specifically, not your fangy nails. Hang on, let me vote. You vote. I was surprised. Huh? I know. I know. We'll go through the results soon on the show,

but next, a couple of new reality shows. Yeah, one which I like the sound of and one which I think is total trash. Well, now that Mavs is basically wrapped up, all we've got is the reunion dinner, which I know you guys are very excited about. Oh, so excited.

How many couples do they start with? 18. Two said yes at the end. Oh, that's good for them. Great stuff. Ten couples. Congratulations on finding love. Yeah, I think both of them already split, I'm sure.

So that's done. We need new reality shows. There's two. One from America, which is available on three now. It's called Written in the Stars. Twelve hot singles. There's a fresh idea. Okay. It's called Written in the Stars. Twelve hot singles, there's a fresh idea. Okay, yeah.

Are matched into six couples by three astrologers. You'd love this. Using only their birth charts. Oh, wow. Isn't that

one of the arranged marriages? Do they use star signs? Or astrological zodiac situations? Do they? Oh, God, I hope not.

Sorry, there's a big yawn. So, yeah, They get astrologers Are we that boring? A little bit at this hour It's daylight savings Yeah Yeah So they use your Zodiac sign

And your year And your Whether you're a moose Or something like that And then I'm a moose See are you a moose? I'm a rat

No I'm a snake I can't remember No I'm a dog Or a I'm a snake I can't remember No, I'm a dog Or a goat 1989 Or a tiger Chinese Snake

I'm a slippery little snake So that's the one I think is stupid Written in the stars It's basically Love Island They go into a big villa, it looks like Right Big villa And they all hang out

And they can swap and stuff But they're trying to make it all based on Jeez, charge your crystals. Charge your crystals, exactly. They're trying to make it all based on your star sign and they say that it should be fail-proof. It should be fail-proof!

Because you've got to use your whether or not you're compatible astrologically. Of course. We'll see. And then the other one comes to you by the same producers, creators, and presenter of Naked Attraction, the show where you judge people from the toes up. Is it still going, that show? I think so.

Okay. So this one is called Naked Education. It's going to be hosted by the same host, Anna Richardson. Wait, this sounds like a PE teacher's going to be hosted by the same host, Anna Richardson. Wait, this sounds like a PE teacher's about to get struck from the register. Dude, when I watched the trailer, the host Anna said that it's going to be going further than Naked Attraction did. How?

With even more graphic nudity than the dating show. Naked Attraction is sort of one step further than Naked Attraction. Let's normalize bodies. Let's have the conversation about what than naked attraction. Let's normalise bodies. Let's have the conversation about what we go through and let's actually educate the nation. Now, it's all about, like, staring at each other completely nude, but there was one bit in the trailer that I was like, um, where they go into, like, a high school and they get three dudes to just stand in front of students

to be like, this is what a normal body looks like. Now, I'm all about body positivity and normalising all sorts of bodies, but I was like, I feel like you'd have to sign a form. Wait, they're letting adults on a dating show stand in front of... No, this isn't a dating show. This isn't a dating show. What is it? It's just like a naked education.

Wait, so they're getting naked people to go in and teach high school kids? Yeah, basically. We're just showing them, like, normalising bodies. What we all look like with our clothes on. Right. Normalise all body types. I mean, that's good for body positivity. I love the message behind this.

But you can't even get bloody parents to sign off on, like, sex ed and, like, teaching your kids about consent and, you know, cycles and puberty. How the hell are you going to get the parents to sign off on your kids just having a gawk at some nude dude that decides he wants to expose himself to school children? Three nude grown men are going to come and derobe in front of a student. No, no, no, no. There's a trailer.

So this has been made. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like this isn't like it's in the works. It's been made. this has been made. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, this isn't like, it's in the works. It's been made. This has been made. This will be Wow. Contingent. And it's all like, I mean, there's bits of it that are like, you know, people that might have had a mastectomy or something and

them sort of owning their bodies and standing in front of... So it's more of a doco? Yeah, yeah. It's kind of a doco series. More like what's the, you know, the doctor one with embarrassing bodies. Oh, yeahco? Yeah, yeah. It's kind of a doco series. It's more like, what's the doctor one with embarrassing bodies? Oh, yeah, embarrassing bodies, yeah. But not embarrassing, just kind of like accepting. Well, maybe that would be good for teaching body positivity in different bodies.

Yeah, I totally agree. However, it's just that one scene that you're like, oh. It's a little odd. But do they do life drawing In high schools Or is that just Hens stews We never did it We drew vases and fruit

Yeah Not Not the couple of peaches And a banana Yeah we had to draw fruit too That was me I was out Yeah

It's hard to distinguish One round fruit from another On Instagram lately People that can paint Like with a paintbrush And there's a line and they just go real quick and follow it. How do they do it?

How do they get the right amount of paint on the brush? I'll get a blob. I'll get a blob at the start and I'll be dry at the end. He's always dry at the end. I'm always dry at the end and blobby at the start. And what's supposed to be a smooth paintbrush? Maybe I'm just buying cheap paint.

That could be it. Or. Yeah. And what's supposed to be a smooth paintbrush. Maybe I'm just buying cheap paint. That could be it, yeah. That could be it. Or you're just not talented. There's that. In the art department. There's that. That's all right. That's okay.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little poe. Silly little poe. It is so silly, silly, silly. That silly little poe. Silly little poe. Silly little Pole, what shape do you cut your toenails? Rounded, as in like following the natural curvature of the nail. Of the nail.

Or square. Flat across. I just cannot even look at square toenails. Yuck. Like the big toe? Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. You've got to go down.

And it'll have little triangles on the end. Little spikes of sharp little 90 degree. It'll go through your socks. Yeah. Cut through your socks. And scratch your bedfellow. Oh, yes. Your bedfellow.

Can I introduce you to my bedfellow? This is Aaron. This is my bedfellow. Oh, yes. Your bedfellow. Can I introduce you to my bedfellow? This is my bedfellow. I cut my toenails rounded because I wish to keep them as my bedfellow. Yeah, I'm a roundy. What I vote in. Yeah, you've got to round off. You cut and then you curve a little bit. You curve and then you get a little file out.

With the nail trimmers, I don't even know how you'd go flat because they've got to curve them. They do, yeah. No, not all of them do, though. Some of them are flat. Some flat know how you'd go flat because they've got to curve in. They do, yeah. No, not all of them do, though. Some of them are flat. Some of them are flat. Oh, no, you've got to curve these. Some people,

because a lot of people use scissors, like those toenail scissors. Oh, no, you're monsters. No, no, get you a nice pair of clippers. Yeah. 64% rounded,

36% square. One third of people are square. I can't believe it's that high. Like, when I voted, I was like, I thought it'd be like 80 or 90% round.

Yeah, same. And then I was like, bleh. This is the thing, you know. We don't always represent the people, do we? As three round-toed people. Yeah, and that's... We need to represent the square ties. Yeah, we're all living our life as round-toed people.

Round. Round-toed cutters. Round it off. You guys... Anybody in the producer's booth are square. No, they're all... No, they're upset that we even insinuated. Yeah, they're all shaking their heads. people. Round it off. Anybody in the producer's booth a square? No. They're upset at even insinuating it. Yeah, they're all shaking their heads.

Are you still rocking a burk at the moment? Yeah, I'm still rocking a burk. All of mine grow rounded apart from the second guy in from the big toe. He grows to a flat. So you've got to guide him. Yeah. My little toe only needs a little cut and that's normally one cut. Yeah, one all the way across and just snap.

Oh, my little toe is like a triangle. It's sort of a weird shape. It doesn't even really make sense. Yeah. It's like just a useless knob. It feels like it grows at half the rate of the other ones, too. Yeah. Lisa said, neither.

I don't cut them. I file them. You'd be constantly filing, wouldn't you? Yeah, but you'd still round it off. Yeah, you'd round it off. Ah, I panicked and picked the wrong answer. I meant to put rounded. Sorry for screwing with your stats, says Emily.

So the stats are off. Stats are off. Only just, though, Emily. You weren't the only one that voted it. Because I'm lazy and it takes less cuts to do it square, says Bridget. Snap, snap. Who I'm guessing sleeps in her bed all alone. No bedfellow there.

Because if you scratch that against a bedfellow, he'd simply complain. Even just scratching against your own sheets. to her bed all alone. No bedfellow there. Because if you scratch that against a bedfellow, he'd simply complain. Or even just scratching against your own sheets. Oh, I hope she doesn't have satin sheets. She'll snag them. It's like a hangnail.

Yeah. They get caught on everything. Anna says, I quite often bite them, like fingernails. It also keeps me flexible. She bites her own toenails. You bite your toenails?

I'm upset by that. They have a yuckier of the nails. I'll rip my fingernails off sometimes if I don't have any nail polish on. Yeah. The fingernails, the fingers see more things. Yeah. But the toes.

The feet. The feet. Yeah. They live in your sock. Yeah. Or touch the floor more often. Corners get stuck to my sock, says Hayley. Not me.

So what is she saying? She goes round. I don't see what she voted for. She'd go round because of the corners would get stuck to my sock, says Hayley. Not me. So what is she saying? She goes round. I can't see what she voted for. She'd go round because of the corners would get stuck to her sock. You'd assume. Rounded toenails equal ingrown toenails. Go square or best prepare, says Devon. Yeah, I've got one that's definitely going to be an ingrown.

But I'm just ignoring it. I'm just ignoring it. You've got to dig it out. Is this true? What do you mean? That a rounded toenail is more likely to be ingrown? Yes, because you tuck the end down, right? Right.

Rather than having it just flat. And it pushes into the side of the toe. Well, who knew that, Devon? I had no idea. Rounded makes them look too small and weird, says Jen. You've got little toes. Who apparently wants big, flat toenails. Get extensions.

Get some French tips. You get some Frenchies. On little toes. Apparently it was big, flat toenails. Get extensions. Get some French tips. You get some Frenchies. On the toes. And Tyler said, more of a risk of ingrown toenails if you cut them rounded. This I did not know. Surely if you keep on top of the cutting, you're not going to get an ingrown toenail. Yeah, I just rip them out. I just hook the corner out, snip it off.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Get that thing that's like a file, but it's got a hook end on it. Yeah. Underneath the cutter handle and just have a dig out. Get in there. Oh, my God. How to prevent an ingrown toenail.

The number one tip. Trim your toenails straight across. Do not curve your nails to match the shape of the front of your toe. We're the idiots. So do you think that's why so many people do it then? Because they're scared? But then you've got to, I would rather have an ingrown toenail once in a lifetime than

have flat nails. That's what everyone's saying. You've got to cut them properly to avoid ingrown toenails and the proper way is straight across. I'm going to start looking now. I've gone round and I've never had an ingrown toenail. the proper way is straight across. I'm going to start looking now. I've gone round and I've never had an ingrown toenail. Yeah. I'm sort of prone to them

and I'm a roundy but I've just got deep beds. Same with my fingernails. They're just always a little bit of... Oh yeah, but if you're not chewing that skin on the side

of your fingernails you're not anxious enough. You need to put yourself out there more. Not anxious enough. I have a coffee. We have spoken of soft

launching a new partner where they might sort of be lingering in the back of your Instagram photos for a while before you do a whole here's their face. Yeah, or you hide, some people hide an emoji, hide them behind an emoji. Yeah, exactly. That's a real tease. I love that because

you get a little bit of like, oh no, I've got some nice shoulders. I like the shoulders I'm seeing here. Yeah, exactly. That's a real tease. I love that because you get a little bit of like, oh no, I've got some nice shoulders. I like the shoulders I'm seeing here. Yeah, very yellow smiley face. Really yellow. Kind of big pink blush cheeks. But now it's a dating term. We like to make everything a, oh not a dating term, a working term.

Sorry. We love to translate everything from the dating world to the work world and now the soft launch is how we should be starting our work week. Oh, management would love to hear this. So basically, I feel like we're all sort of inherently doing this anyway. Yesterday was Monday,

start of our work week. I'd had two hours sleep. I'd had a big boozy weekend. Yeah, and you soft launched your week. I absolutely soft launched it Which is basically like starting your week softly Easing into the week Ramping up to Friday

You're done I do the opposite I come too hot out of the gates And then I'm out of energy You're pitty You know when you're a kid and you're in a running race And you come out hot and you're leading And then you're like I've pushed it

I've gone too far I'm a broadcast professional. I start the week hard and end hard. End hard. You dip in the middle. No, he doesn't dip. I don't dip.

I end, dip in the middle. He's a dipper. The whole week. The whole week. He's a big dipper. People are saying even with, because we talked about working from home

and whether or not we should still be doing it. And the polls said what most people were like 80 odd percent were like still should be able to work from home. Can we?

Well, they say that's a great way to do a soft launch into the work week. Work from home on Monday. Right. That's called a three-day weekend. Yeah. Yeah. We know you're mowing the lawns at home. Absolutely.

We know you're on the couch watching Netflix. Well, they're saying that the rise in levels of burnout, people not just being like, oh, I'm tired, I can't wait for the weekend, but actually just sort of like crumbling is just so high at the moment. We've got so many other things to think over. So they're saying that we need to be soft launching. We've been through the ringer for a few years with the pandemic. So, yeah, I won't be here on Mondays. It's been really nice.

Is that pandemic levada or pandemic more? Pandemic more. Yeah, pandemic, I won't be here on Mondays. It's been really nice. Is that Pandemi Levato or Pandemi More? Pandemi More. Yeah, Pandemi More. Your classic. The original. The OG Demi. Yeah. Play CDM's Fletchford and Hayley. Play CDM's

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. I was just saying to Hayley, they're doing a live-action Moana. It's awesome. Dwayne The Rock Johnson's just announced that. Is he going to be his character? I think so. Maui.

I think there's usually a bit more of a gap between the animated and then later on you cash in 20 years later on the live-action. But it's so popular. It's good. When's a live-action Frozen coming? Oh, that would be good. I thought that would happen before Moana. Yeah.

I thought that would happen before Moana. Anyway, we're not here to talk about animation to live life, real life. We're talking about lives and saving them. Because, ladies and gentlemen, our beautiful nurses are leaving New Zealand. In droves. In droves. 5,000 since what, August? That's nuts.

I didn't even know we had that many. No. And if you were studying to be a nurse and then you graduated, you'd just move to Australia, right? Like so many industries somewhere. Where the pay is so much better. They've got to make the pay better because there'd be some incentives. Yeah.

What's 7,000 United Arab E... To New Zealand. You know, Arab E to NZD. Ladies and gentlemen, you are witnessing a live currency conversion. Oh, my God. Live on the radio. Thrilling. $3,000 a month.

For a new... Tax free. Starting years. Is that what... a month. For a nurse. Tax free. A starting nurse. Is that what? In the United Arab Emirates, apparently. Right. Yeah. Apparently.

I feel like that's not enough for a nurse. Nah. That doesn't seem right. That doesn't seem right. That doesn't seem right. Well. They're going to Australia though, aren't they? A lot of the nurses.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're going to Australia. I mean, a lot of places around the world pay more for their healthcare professionals. Yeah. And just probably better working conditions because it's not always about money as when nurses have struck before. The average nurse salary in Australia is just under $81,000. Right.

A year. Yikes. So, they're leaving. So, I've put on my HRikes. So they're leaving. So I've put on my HR hat. Vaughan Smith, HR professional. I love it when he wears that hat. It's my HR hat. The top six ways to keep nurses in New Zealand.

I've been doing some research. Okay. Clarity Wave, for example. The 12 worst things you can do at work. Forbes's list of seven ways to keep your employees happy and working really hard. Business News Daily, 12 secrets to keeping employees happy without a raise.

Without, oh God. Or pizza parties. You bet. Is that on your list? You bet. Number, and quantum workplaces, future of work and how to keep employees happy. Drinks on Friday.

But I wish, can we just, for our company, one, really grateful for the job, but two, could we start Friday drinks at like 9 a.m.? That's our lunchtime. That's our wrap-up. Yeah, we're kind of done by then. I don't know if everybody arriving at work at 9 a.m. wants to start with a...

Yeah, but why should we miss out? They should have a drink. Okay, get the day started. Top six ways to keep nurses in New Zealand. Number six on the list. I read perks matter. Okay. Work perks matter.

Everyone loves a work perk. So let the nurses have a little toot on the nos at the end of their shift. Oh, fun. A little toot toot before they head home. Yep. Maybe they can have a room. A nice room. The Nang Room.

Yeah. Just freak out for a room. A nice room. The Nang Room. Yeah. Just freak out for a bit and then go home. Hometime. Number five on the list of the top six ways to keep nurses in New Zealand. Another thing I learned from Quantum Workplace, flexible work hours. Yeah. Okay. So maybe just let nurses work nine to five.

That shift work sounds terrible. One week you're in the day, next you're at the night. You're there for 12 hours. Yeah, that's too long. Who's going to bathe the people? Bathe themselves, kiddos. Bathe the babies of the evening. Who's going to look after the sick people at night, though?

They can look after themselves. It's about time we took some personal responsibility around here. Okay. Number four on the list of the top six ways to keep nurses in New Zealand. This comes from Business News Daily. Yeah. They say people appreciate

casual work attire. Oh, yeah. Have you seen nurses' uniforms? They're a little like... Very serious. Yeah, maybe just let them wear whatever jeans and a Metallica T-shirt. I would love to be served

by a nurse in a Metallica T-shirt. In a Metallica T-shirt. Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah. Wow. Put it in. Iron Maiden nails. nurse in a Metallica T-shirt. In a Metallica T-shirt. Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah. Wow. Put it in. Iron Maiden hills, huh? Get in there, bloody get in there.

Yeah. G'day, I'm Steve. I'm here to give you your bloody sponge bath. You don't want to get vom on your nice Metallica T-shirt, though. That's true. No, you'd have to have casual work Metallica T-shirts. Yeah. And then your dress Metallica T-shirts.

Your home Metallica T-shirts. Formal, yeah. Somewhere else. Your formal Metallicas. All right. Number three on the list of the top six ways to keep nurses in New Zealand. Very popular job listings at the moment. The most popular ones, let people work from home.

So maybe we let the nurses work from home. Okay. How do we go to them? No, they bring a patient to their home. Yeah, right. To look after them there. I mean, we've got options. Yeah. Yeah, right. And just put them in the lounge. I know we've got options. Yeah. Yeah. Or they could just like

FaceTime. Or nurses would save on parking because you know they always get stung with the parking at hospitals. It's nuts that they have to pay for parking. I know. It's like that's such an easy fix. That's such an easy incentive to give to the nurses. You can park for free. Yeah, free parking.

We won't tell you. Here's a sticker for your car. Well, maybe we should let them take a couple of for free. Yeah, free parking. We won't tell you. Here's a sticker for your car. Well, maybe we should let them take a couple of patients home. Yeah, in the back of their car. It saves on parking. Yeah, yeah. Totally. Number two on the list are the top six ways to keep nurses in New Zealand.

I read another website here. What one was it? I don't know. It wasn't Quantum Workplace. It was the Forbes list. Oh, okay. I don't know how to keep people happy. They really like health benefits.

So maybe we stop making them deal with sick people because sick people make other people sick. If it's a contagious thing, as you said before, the pandemic war is still going. Yeah, strong. So maybe they don't have to deal with them anymore. Yeah, okay. That would make your day better, right, as a nurse,

if you didn't have to deal with sick people. Yeah. Just healthy ones only. Healthy ones only. How are you? Pretty good. Good for you. Cool.

Do you want a bath? Sure. Could you bath yourself? I could. All right. If you're offering. And number one on the list of the top six ways to keep nurses in New Zealand. Now, this didn't come from any website.

This is from up here. Vaughan Smith. Vaughan Smith, HR hat. Yeah. Give them more money. Wow, that's so simple, isn't it? We'll put up taxes to be able to afford to pay nurses more, but then because they're earning more, they're paying more tax.

So technically, nurses are paying themselves to work. It's called capitalism. It's a circle. It's a circle. You're paid by the taxpayers, but I am a taxpayer. Great news. You're paying tax, and it's going back into your own pocket. You do a job, but you pay yourself.

Yes, effectively. Effectively. And we put enough money in the pool to just keep it circulating. Wow. It's so simple, that idea, isn't it? And they'd stay. More of them would stay. More of them would stay for more money,

because then they'd be able to afford to live. Have you seen how much a broccoli costs? I think you can say, have you seen how much a barocca costs? I was like, you don't need a barocca

if you're at a pinch. It doesn't feel essential. Vitamins wise, it's probably the cheapest way to get your daily dose at the moment. Yeah, to be fair. It probably is.

Vegetables are so expensive. Yeah. Yeah. That is today's top six. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Can we make this snapper? Got some hot cross buns under the grill.

First one of the season. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Because I was going to have a bit of a gossip about Lewis Capaldi. Didn't he say he was like, might give up music? Well, yeah, his Netflix doco is out. Is it today or this week? Let's go. Let's move.

Hot cross buns. This is exactly what I told you not this week? Let's go. Let's move. Hot cross buns. This is exactly what I told you not to do. Jared has gone out to the kitchen. I'm worried about young Jared. Because his idea of toasted might be different. He's from South Africa. He drinks Red Bull. They crisp them.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And I was going to flip them and I was going to put butter on them at the later stages of a cook. No, but I want fresh butter on it. Well, then you can add more butter as fresh butter. Yeah. I was going to butter and then you can re later stages of a cook. No, but I want fresh butter on it. Well, then you can add more butter as fresh butter. Yeah. I was going to butter and

then you can re-butter. Because I like a little bit solidified. Yeah, fair enough. So I can have a little cold bite with my hot bite. Yes, yes, yes. Shut up then. Shut up. Okay, let's go, let's go. Okay, so there's been a study out of America and it was looking at how we're learning online. A lot of students still doing it. I spoke to

if your girls got COVID, do they have to jump online or would they just take the- They wouldn't jump online with a teacher. They'd just get homework sheets. Well, I think a lot of universities around the world are still doing this, lectures online. Yeah. And, you know, with like Zoom and stuff,

a lot of the time it's got a forward-facing camera. Yeah. It's stuffing us. Oh, you spend too much time looking at yourself. It's increasing social anxiety and anxiety in general. It's making people feel insecure. And then they don't, they spend so much time looking at their own face and kind of correcting themselves that they're not even listening to the lesson.

So they're not learning. Yeah. Because they're too busy looking at themselves. And people were saying, like, the impact of this has been hard and strong. A lot of students in the States are on Zoom for 8 to 10 hours a day in lectures. Like, just go to uni. Just turn your camera off. I know.

Would that be the best option, turn your camera off? That's what they're saying. You've got to do it. Would you be distracted by everybody else on the grid in the lecture? Less distracted, though. No, you're just going to put the talker on. Just the talker. Okay. Turn on that grid. That person who's talker on. Just the talker. Okay.

Turn on that grid. That person who's talking gets the camera. But I'm so curious. I like to look into people's houses. I like to look at what other people are rocking. And yeah, I'm always thrown when I don't have my forward-facing camera on because I'm like, what am I rocking at the moment? Tell you what I'm not rocking at the moment, hot cross buns.

Yeah, well, that's it. That's a study. If you're doing a thing, turn your camera off and pay attention. Concentrate more. I'm going to flip the hot cross buns so they get drilled on both sides. Just leave.

Not too toasty. I don't want crumbs. No, no, I'm not going to too toasty them. I don't want like, you know, wafers. Oh, no, Jared's already done it. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Let's just get seal of approval on the toastedness. Not enough. Not enough. Oh, you haven't toasted those enough, Jared. But at least Not enough. Oh, you haven't toasted those enough, Jared. But at least it's... Oh, not bad.

They're a little crispy. I'd like a little bit more golden. And I'm going to flip them just to get the other side of it. Producer Jared knows. Thank you, Jared, for coming. This is not your job. Producer Jared knows if they were too toasted, we would have absolutely flipped the table.

I know. See, look, he's nodding. He's afraid of us. He's afraid of portion. Yeah. Okay, I'm going to put some butter on, re-grill. Okay, yeah, good. Butter re-grill.

Even the oven here at work is gross. Oh, yeah, it's normally for saucy rolls and party snacks. Yeah, your savoury samosas. It's only been cleaned since Hodaki did beer and pie July, last July. Or the one before that, maybe. Yeah, three Julys ago. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Last July Or the one before that Maybe Yeah Three Julys ago Tomorrow on the show Oh my god

eating hot cross bun. I'm pretending to eat a hot cross bun because what I'm doing is I'm relating to people on a weekly level. You're not. No, I am eating this

because other people are having hot cross buns this week. So now they feel intrinsically linked to my schedule. We're live. No, I am eating this because other people are having hot cross buns this week, so now they feel intrinsically linked to my schedule. We're live. We're live now. We didn't record this last year. You can literally

hear it. That's how good I am at food acting. Oh, really? At true acting. Okay. Catch me next semester at Toi Whakare, delivering the Vaughan Smith Class on Fake eating I wish you were there when I was there

We never got to learn it Listen to me It's not believable So the movie air out tomorrow Matt Damon is on the show tomorrow Marlon Wayans is out after 8 o'clock Will we do that after 8? 8.10 tomorrow The story of the Air Jordans

So Ben Affleck wrote, directed this movie. He's in it as well. And there are a lot of interviews coming out. Yeah, and so we know that they're a great pair, great friends, best of friends. From the days of Good Will Hunting. Was that their first movie? From before then.

So they were friends before any of the success came to them, obviously. And they were living together and auditioning, like doing the LA hustle, basically. And they revealed in an interview that they actually shared a bank account when they were just starting out. And they said, basically, it was as long as one of us had money, we knew that we were going to be able to be all right.

Like a couple. Yeah. Like a couple moving to a big city or doing their OE. They said we needed money for auditions to get there and whatnot. And if one person got a job, then they were all right. And so they'd put that money into the bank account. They had some rules. The rules for the account were you're allowed to go to auditions in New York and LA with

the money. Oh, yeah. You're allowed to take out $10. You were allowed to go take out some money, get quarters and play video games. Okay. Eventually they were allowed to try and buy a beer which never worked because they were under 21.

Yep. Aww. But isn't that just a nice thing? I mean it's kind of wild. Small scale communism. And now who would have more money, Ben Affleck? You go, I'll go Matt Damon, net worth. Ben Affleck. Net worth, 2023.

And I'll go Jennifer Lopez, net worth. So Ben Affleck has a net worth of $150 million. Matt Damon, $200 million. Jennifer Lopez, $400 million. Oh, wow. Okay. So Ben by default. Did you know Ben Affleck is 6'3"? Yes. Oh, wow. Okay. So Ben by default. Did you know Ben Affleck

is six foot three? Yes. That's hot. He's a big Boston boy. He always looks like real sad and short in all of his memes. Do you ever think

that's short? I always thought he looked cool. Nice thick big boy. Anyway, so they shared this bank account and I wanted to know if there were people

out there that shared something with their friends. So not partners. Not partners. But like, did you have a way of sort of sharing the goods with someone? Like when I was 19, I worked in like a high-end designer clothing store and my best friend and I

had to share a wardrobe. And then we would look at the new season stuff from brands we like and be like, well, I'll get that one and you get that one and that way we don't have to buy them. We'll just share them. But then what if you spilt like soy sauce? Oh, what about if you

put a cigarette hole in it? Jess? Oh, Jess. Is this the same Jess that's permanently marked on your body, Jess? Yeah, this is my J Jess. This is your best friend.

My bestie. Yeah, we were on the durries back in those days and we had these like highly flammable dresses and then she put a cigarette hole in one so she had to keep that and I got to steal one of hers. We were on the durries in those days. And we had these like highly flammable dresses. And then she put a cigarette hole in one. So she had to keep that.

And I got to steal one of hers. But it was perfect, right? Because you go like, we had no money at the time. And I got this huge discount at this clothing store. So I was like, you save your money. I guess you could do that with friends. You could share video games. Like you buy one, you buy the next one.

Yeah. Yeah Yeah you could do But you need them in your console To play them together Yeah that's true Yeah I always thought this was a really alluring Factor of being a lesbian But any lesbian I talk to about

Do you share clothes And most of them are like No Are you sure? Yeah Like what about just if they need a pair of socks? Yeah maybe if you needed socks or something But you've got your own style still.

I'm a boring old cis hetero couple and we share socks. And I've got a larger foot. Sometimes you wear Sade's underwear. I do. Which is quite spicy, I think. I think that's hot. She's not using a lingerie during the day, is she? Oh, the lingerie?

Cuts me in half, but I do it. So what do you share with friends? Do you have an arrangement? Maybe you have a, I don't know, some people might have a boat or some kind of toy together. I had friends that shared a bloody mortgage. Disaster. Oh, disaster. That can go, I was going to say, that can go one of two ways.

It can, well, you just don't know if they're going to go meet someone and get married and then all of a sudden you have to sell this house. Yeah, totally. But it's a great way to get in if you've all got 50K or something and it's not enough to do it on your own. Just do it with your most repulsive friend so they never get married. Yeah, the fuggo of the group. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no, because fuggos can be nice.

Yeah. And that will get them married. They've got a good sense of humour, I guess. Yeah. All right, well, 0800-DARLS-IT-EM is the number. Give us a call now at text 9696. What do you share with a friend? Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey.

Play ZM. Very soon, our Kogan Mobile Easter hunt. We did this yesterday. Somebody found the Black Thunders in Auckland under the Harbour Bridge and won some Apple AirPod Pros. Oh, nice. Must be nice.

Quite a large prize in size today. We'll give you the clue in about five to ten minutes. I want to see what it is. Large prize in size. Oh. See? Oh. A lot of inches.

Oh. I don't know how that's going to fit in an Easter egg. It's going to be a gigantic Easter egg. We'll give you the clue. You're going to be able to find the Black Thunders soon on the show. We're talking about, so Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, when they were first starting out in Hollywood, shared a bank account so that whatever money they made each,

they could help out the other person to still afford going to auditions and whatnot. And it worked out because they both got mega famous at the same time. So we wanted to know what you share with a friend. Sarah, what do you share with a friend? We bought a house together. You're crazy. It's already turned out terribly, Sarah.

Has it all gone well so far? It was well. It was 18 years ago. We went half in the house. And about four years in, she dug along with her life and sold her house to me, and there we are. Oh, right. Oh, my God. I wish I bought a house 18 years ago.

Well, when you were earning $21,000. Oh, yeah, I didn't have any money. So when you had to buy her out, was that complicated? Did you have to get lawyers involved? I knew that I paid for her part. I was the lawyer for part of the field group, and I paid for mine. At the time, I may have been working for a law firm,

which made it cheaper. Oh, that's good. Oh, nice. Oh, wow. But that's always a worry. Imagine if you'd done that, three years ago and you buy a house and then now you go to sell it when she meets the love of her life and prices are down and it's gone backwards.

Yeah, it doesn't happen. Yeah, she's like, yeah, not my problem, babe. Not my problem. I bought it 18 years ago. Not my problem. I've been in the market 18 years. It's smart. It's smart. It's smart.

It is. Amazing. Thanks for your call. Let's go to Yvonne. Yvonne, what do you share with your friends? We share quite a bit, actually. We share an automated pool cleaner. We also go halves in a beast with them.

A beast? We share a house with them for 18 months. Wait, what's a beast? Home kill. Home kill's a beast. Home kill, yeah. Oh, what's a beast? Home kill's a beast. A home kill, yeah. Oh, yeah. Born with no...

Well, you haven't probably got a freezer big enough to do a whole beast at a time, so it bloody works lovely, actually. Get the beast on half-half. What's a beast? A cow. A cow, right, right. Got you. Right.

You go and hunt a fantastical beast. Whatever one you can find. Sometimes you've got a unicorn in the freezer. Oh, that one from the Westpac ad. That'd fill a freezer. Oh, that's Aaron. That's Aaron inside that suit. Don't forget,

that's Aaron inside that suit. Aaron would fill a freezer if you wanted to hunt Aaron. Oh, I'm going to hunt a man. So you just split the costs and it just makes it easier. Yeah, but they lived with us for 18 months

while they built a house as well. Oh, yeah. You must really like these people. No, pool cleaner. We're about to go away overseas with them as well. Okay. That works for your friends.

Have you ever thought about just becoming a polyamorous collective? No. No. So you don't share that. I love them, but not like that. When you say pool cleaner, do you mean the little robot that scoots around your pool or a person who cleans the pool?

No, we don't share a person, thanks. Okay. Yes, you share a little machine. We share a dolphin. I didn't want to put dolphin because then it sounds like we share an animal. Is it a brand? The pool cleaner, yes. Are they those automated ones that go and just you leave them?

Yeah. I think that makes a lot of sense. That's what they do in Scandinavia is like they'll have like two lawnmowers for the street. Why do we all need lawnmowers? Because someone's not going to take care of the lawnmower. And I want to use the lawnmower when I want to use the lawnmower. I want to use it now. I don't have to wait for Svadlad Bashnort up the street to finish his lawn.

Svadlad Bashnort. But his edges are good. His edges are good, but he hogs the mower. And he never refills it with gas. And everybody would want to do their lawns on Sunday morning, on the fine day, so that might not work. Sundays. Sundays, yes, Sunday that might not work. Sunday. Sunday would be a disaster.

You're right. Yvonne, thank you. Alicia, what do you share with friends? Hi. So we share Ford. Oh, that makes sense because they're expensive now if you get a big fancy one. They can be really expensive. So what we do is like when the pre-order comes out,

sorry, when the pre-order comes out, we like, oh yeah, we'll buy that one. And because they can cost, I think the latest one we got was $500. What? Excuse me, what game is this? It's called Moonrakers. It's a board game. Moonrakers. We're all looking at it, by the way.

Board games are crazy. Is this some kind of nerd like... It's a game of shipbuildingbuilding temporary alliances and shrewd negotiations spitting us set in a space-faring future aaron so it's just risk in space wow okay i mean that makes sense as well because it's not like you're going to be playing it every night yeah but what if you chew up the pieces what if you yeah so we share them with the group and we all just borrow them off each other. But we mostly play them together.

But instead of all of us buying one copy, we just buy one between us. Yeah. So what, have you got an account you all put money into and then that's the board game account? Yeah. That is pretty cute. It is cute.

And it's better than everybody buying their own board game, isn't it? But board games make me fight with my friends. So then it would be like, well, I'm taking this board game. We still do that. Brilliant. Alicia, thank you. Some messages in. What do you share with your friends?

Hold on. It needs to be updated. It says Ben and Ryan are cousins, but I don't know if they, Ryan who? Ryan Affleck? We're talking about Ben, this is how we got onto it, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Ben and Ryan?

No, Ben and Jerry. Ben Affleck. Ben and Jerry aren't cousins. My daughter lives in Auckland and there's eight of them in a flat. And together they bought a van so they can all go out together. And if anyone needs a vehicle, it's there. Like a courtesy shuttle at an RSA. This is a problem because if it breaks down,

you've got to convince everybody to chip in the same amount to fix it. Warrant, reg, this is a nightmare. Sharing things is a nightmare. In London, we shared a bed and clothes. Oh, I know friends that shared beds in London. Beds and clothes. Yuck. My sister and I share gardens.

She will plant some species and plants and I will plant other veggies. That way we have a bigger variety of veggies with minimal waste. Oh, that's good. So you take care of the cauliflower. I've got the soil for the corn. Yeah. Yeah, you'll be at tomatoes that I am. Also think, I'm thinking about investing in a greenhouse.

A glasshouse. Yeah, so we're going to build one. Have you seen the price of effing tomatoes? Oh, yeah. I know we're getting into the non-tomato season, but tomatoes were never cheap this season. Tomatoes were never cheap this season. You can grow a lot in greenhouses.

You can grow a lot in greenhouses. You can. You really can. Catnip. Will you get me some catnip? I'll grow you some catnip. Thanks. Brilliant.

That's great. Fantastic. Can you hear my winking on the radio? No. It's not coming through. You want a bit of catnip, do you, buddy? No, I actually just... Oh, I can. I can hear your lids sla through. You want a bit of catnip, do you, buddy? No, I actually just... Oh, I can.

I can hear your lids slapping together. I actually just want catnip. I don't... That's the sound of his eyelids. Don't slap your eyelids together. That's disgusting. Slapping together. You want some...

Oh, I don't like it anymore. Can't wait to come over and kick a rugby ball through your... No! That's what I'm worried about. Or like when you're mowing the lawns of rogue stone. Yeah. Good stuff. You need to get that plastic. Good stuff. Somebody said we share a boat tractor

with three other families. Oh yeah. That makes so much sense. Yeah. You don't all need a bloody boat tractor. You want to be down there at high tide, don't you? And if Steve cocks it up and bloody jackknives the boat into the thing and causes a back load at the boat ramp by the time the tractor gets back, the tide will be on the way out.

Bit of fun info. Matt and Ben are distant cousins. Tenth cousins. Tenth, oh, right. And they're also related to Princess Diana and Barack Obama. Really? Yeah. I mean, distantly.

Distantly. Like we all are, because we're from the same two people. Yeah. Yeah, I think Adam and Eve. Bless. Thank you. Well, it is the season.

It is. You know how much we love talking to our economist pal, Brad Olson, who's right here. Hi, Brad. Good morning. Good morning. He's our pal economist. She didn't intro you as bad news, Brad.

Well, because I don't want to spoiler alert because we have done a podcast special with Brad about the questions we've been given about the recession and saving and house buying and that's out now. You can listen to the whole thing. But give us a little teaser. What's the state of the world, Brad? Look, I mean, everyone knows that it's difficult

and it's expensive, but... It's bad. It's bad, yeah. But it's difficult and it's expensive, but... It's bad. It's bad. It's bad, yeah. But it could be a lot worse. And I say that because, look, I mean, the fact that there's still more people in jobs each and every month, the fact that we're still seeing people get pay rises, yep, it's extremely difficult. Some of those reasons are out of our hands.

We can't control the weather. We can't control the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But we know that there are tougher times coming. If we know that that's happening, at least we can prepare for it. those reasons are out of our hands. We can't control the weather. We can't control the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But we know that there are tougher times coming. If we know that that's happening, at least we can prepare for it. That's the point, I think, of the podcast. Let's go through some of the nitty-gritty, the issues people have got coming up,

and let's try and at least give them a bit of a stare on how to get through a more turbulent time. Because are people still spending too much? Are we still, like, we're going up for breakfast after today's show. You are invited. Should we be packing sandwiches instead? Oh, look, I think you can go

to breakfast every now and then. If we were doing it every day, a bit of a concern. See, Brad said that because he knows he wants to come to breakfast with us and have lackeys.

He wants lackeys. It would be, you know, he'd be a hypocrite. He'd be a hypocrite if he said you shouldn't be going out for breakfast. And then he's going

to come for lackeys. But I think as well, what it means is that everyone looks at their own budget, right? And I go, hmm, maybe I can make sure that, yes, I can pay for breakfast this morning. And maybe I won't do something else another time. Maybe I won't go out for drinks later today or whatever it might be. There's sort of, you can make those trade-off options. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You're telling me I've got to choose between breakfast lackeys and evening drinks?

Well, that or, I don't know, some shopping. One of... Brad! Brad! Brad, I'm going to stop you there. Every time she acts surprised, doesn't she? Look, I'm just wondering, Hayley, what part of spending would you cut back on? Vegetables.

I'm going... Tax. Is it pay taxes? Agents commission. Yeah, yeah. Rates. All sorts. I mean, car. I'm working at getting Agents commission? Yeah. Rates. All sorts. I mean, car.

I'm working at getting gifted one at the moment. I don't know if you know that. I think it's going quite well. Yeah, thank you. The hashtag spots post all the time. No, look, I know that we need to be saving at the moment, all of us. And I am. I am making conscious effort too.

But I will not sacrifice that piece. We laugh because otherwise we cry, Brad. I read a stat last week that 14% of North Island mortgage holders are behind in their mortgage in some way. And was it 9% in the South Island or 8% in the South Island? Is that worrying? That's worrying. It is, and I think it reflects, though, the realities of the time.

Interest rates have gone a lot higher a lot quicker. There's some people that have moved from the baked beans diet to whatever's after that. There are some people that, yes, are in struggle street, but importantly as well, I think this is the time, if you are getting behind on your mortgage, if you're having those sort of challenges, talk to someone about it before it goes even worse.

Because the worst thing you can do at the moment is bury your head in the sand and then someone comes to repossess your house. Go and talk to your bank manager and figure out what is the next step. How do you get this thing back on course before it's gone too much and the train's derailed? Because that's very scary, isn't it? Like when you think about that, you know, people, you might miss a payment here and there

for a credit card or whatever, but a mortgage payment, that's very, very scary because as you say, if you let it get far and far and far and far, they can take your house. Absolutely. And I mean, for a lot of these things, a part of that is around the budgeting and having some of those tough conversations.

And look, we've got to face up to that. Talking to people, there's always this worry of, oh, I don't want to admit that something's gone wrong and similar. But realistically, when it comes to money, New Zealanders don't talk about it fantastically at the best of times. But when we do turn a bit more to Struggle Street, you've got to have those conversations.

And you know what? Most people are more than willing to have them with you. They'll say, look, how can we help? How can we figure this out? What sort of support do you need? Is it that conversation with the bank of mum and dad, for example? Is it figuring out with the bank if you're currently on the right situation? How do you look at all your various debts and similar? What does that mean in terms of the job?

Do you need to work a few more hours or figure out another source of income? Those are the conversations at least you can have. You've got some information. Or, like I say, you can bury your head in the sand and then someone comes and rips your house out from underneath you. I know which option I'd prefer. Do banks, how do banks say to, like, if someone was struggling, could they go on interest-only payments?

Yep, yep, they can go on interest-only payments. They can figure out, you know, sometimes they've got other debts they're paying off as well. You might be able to consolidate them together. Again, a lot of the time is also sort of figuring out, well, what are your expenses currently looking like? Let's go through with the bank and figure out what's going through there. Is there a cheaper option? Is there some support you're not getting from the government?

Some, I don't know, working for families, tax credits or whatever that's there. Some of that stuff's incredibly difficult to navigate. And even to understand if you're eligible for it. Oh, absolutely. I mean, you can, trust me, people that are experts in the space get it wrong all the time. So actually sitting down and going through the paperwork is important. Because a lot of this time, I think the worry I have is that some Kiwis are just sitting back on their couch at night and just stressing. They're a ball of stress.

They go, I do not, I can't see a way out. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my finances. Everything is too hard. Now, it might well be that you're in a pretty compromised position, but at least if you're talking about it, you can figure out where the pathway next is because just sitting at home and talking to your partner or not talking to your partner or whoever else you might share

those sort of things with, that becomes difficult. Yeah. Well, we asked you for your questions. So, Brad, Bad News Brad, and in the podcast special, which is out right now, wherever you podcast, iHeartRadio, Spotify, wherever, we delve into everything that you asked us and more. Yes, thank you for your questions, and thank you, Brad, for answering them.

Lovely to come through and have a yarn. I mean, good to see people asking these sort of questions. They're important. Yeah, they are, and often hard to understand. So that's why we love having you on the show, Brad, is because you simplify it for people like us that can't speak the bank language. Bank, Bangladesh, I think it's called.

Bangladesh? Is that where Bangladesh comes from? Close, but not quite. Brad Olsen, thank you so much. And download the podcast now. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Yummy, yummy, yummy In my tummy It's so rich and good Yummy, yummy

A segment of the show where we take a look at new food items New trends So we This came out and everyone was like April fools And then the company was like, nope This is happening So this is my pick and mix lollies.

Oh, yum. You know, just the yummiest lollies. They have created... I saw them in the paper yesterday. They won an award. Did they? It was this big thing of like, I don't know what these awards were.

Was it for those... I scrolled through the companies and one of the things was pick and mix lollies. Was it for their spinning wheels? That's my favourite lolly in a pick and mix lollies. Was it for their spinning wheels? That's my favourite lolly in a pick and mix. Right. The spinning tops.

Don't write me. They're delicious. That's such a bizarre choice. Yeah. Okay. It's a fizzy coke bottle. I mean, I love a tube and I love a fizzy coke bottle.

Don't get me wrong. It's them green apple ones. The green apple rings. You know the rings and they're white and green and they're real tangy. Do you like those? Yeah, mine are tangy.

I'm not a huge lolly guy, though. It's not final rankings pick and mix. No, it's not, and we'll leave, but we'll put that in the bank. So they've made a cotton candy. It's in a bag. Candy floss. Yuck. Yeah, candy floss.

Yuck. Yuck. And the flavour of this candy floss is mince and cheese pie. Double yuck. Two things. Now, I love candy floss, but how's that going to taste? And I love a mince and cheese pie. A sweet mince and cheese pie.

Yeah, and they announced it and everyone was like, um. April Fools. April Fools. They thought it was a Stitcher, but then they've doubled down. Could be a double April Fools. No, but you can't double down April Fools after April the 1st. They said, this isn't a joke. We take our cotton candy very serious.

You can actually buy this. Check our website. It's made using dairy-free parmesan alternative and wild harvested kombu seaweed leaves. Potentially the meaty taste, I guess. Right, but then there's still the candy floss, the sugar that's seaweed leaves. Potentially the meaty taste, I guess. Right. But then there's still the candy floss, the sugar that's whipped up. And then it's pink with little bits in it.

Oh. I'm looking at their other, I've gone to their website. They do an espresso martini cotton candy, a raspberry and vanilla bonbon cotton candy, pumpkin spiced latte, gingerbread, peaches and cream, mojito. My goodness. Salted rosemary cotton candy. Would those be good?

Oh, salted rosemary would be good. Would those be good on a cocktail as like a decoration? Yeah, a little fluff on top. They'd melt. No, but you separate it with, I don't know, some leaves. Go on. Tell us, mixologist. What do you separate it with?

You celebrate your cereal with some legs. Leaves. Oh, leaves. Oh, no. Like a lily pad. Yeah, like a lily pad. So now you've got to take the lily pad out and shake that off and throw it on the floor because what was that doing in your drink?

A lily pad. It was to separate the cotton candy. There's a frog in there as well. Oh, yuck. His frog cocktails are the worst. Yeah, or a tadpole gets into your espresso martini. So, oh, my God, apple pie. This looks yummy, some of these.

But the mince and cheese pie one, you can buy it for $5. I think we need to try this. I mean, I don't know. I think we're going to have to try this. I'd try some of the cocktail ones, like the espresso martini and the tomato. Look at all the lollies on the website. Yum. Good stuff.

Should I do a small order? Small order? Large order. Oh, they've got a seconds. I like bung lollies on the website Good stuff Do I do a small order? Large order Oh they've got a seconds I like bong lollies Because they taste the same But they're just a bit bong They've got a dent Or they're a funny

Meerkats? They do like a Like a snake Except it's a meerkat And it's standing up I tell you what I've had a couple I've had a big booking except it's a meerkat and it's standing up. I tell you what, I've had a couple of, I've had a big booking

whoopsie daisy I want to talk about soon on the show. This is unlike you. Very unlike me because I've organised, I always organise the trips away,

don't I, for the group. Yep. I've organised the wedding which is coming up in May. We're going to a wedding. You've not organised the wedding. I've organised all the accommodation.

The accommodation, but not the wedding. I've put the rental car in Vaughan's name. Can you make a wedding planner? No. Why is the rental car in mine? Because you like to drive. I do like the wedding. I've organised all the accommodation. The rental. I've put the rental car in Vaughan's name. Can you make a wedding planner? No. Why is the rental car in mine? Because you like to drive.

I do like to drive. See? I can't sit in the back. I get a little bit spewy. So if I'm not driving, I'd want to be in the front. Okay. But you're driving. We'll see.

The names. Heads and tails. It was a shout out for who gets the front seat. But no, it was when I was booking an Airbnb yesterday that I had a question because I had to request to book the place. Is that always a thing? Right. If you're staying somewhere and you request,

it's so that they can suss you out, right? Yeah, I think so. They look at your photo and judge you on your photo. They'll Google you, Facebook search you. Give you a real good once over. See what you're... So I was like When this request went through

I was like I wonder what my My Airbnb My Uber My Uber I was going to say my Uber rating I was wondering what my Airbnb rating was Because I

I don't know if I'm imagining this But I remember back in the day Or I thought back in the day Everyone had an Airbnb Out of five star rating Like you do for Uber, right? Yeah. You do, you do. But you can't see it now.

I've tried to search. You cannot find your Airbnb rating number. If I go to my profile. You can see your old reviews. Hi, I'm Hayley, 20, 2015. I've got five reviews done on me. So you can see those reviews. You can find those when you dig in.

Or average it out. No, but it doesn't say the stars. It doesn't say. There was one incident in an Airbnb friend of the show, Morgan. Yes. She pushed the boat out. She chunied in

a rubbish bin at an Airbnb in Cuba. Oh, good for her, though. Made it to the rubbish bin. Yeah, it was $1 mojitos in Cuba. Chunny, you mean vomit, just because you said Morgan, friend of the show, sexologist, and then you said chunny in a bin, and I was wondering if that was some sort of sex thing. No, no, no, no.

It's just a spew. It's a vom. It's a vom. So I was wondering maybe if that's kind of pulled me down, and that's why I had to request right this airbnb but i think they you did it in the bin yeah and i actually cleaned it up before the people the host knew but maybe there was some residual chun left behind that a little bit of chance not through the bag and then i got a you know i got a three out of five but you you can't

find your i didn't realize this either it sort of doesn't make any sense how do they know i think it shows when you go to book it, it shows your... It shows them. It shows them. Oh my god, I really want to know now. Because what if I'm low? I'll have to start again. I love how much we care about these. Uber ratings, Airbnb ratings, Trade Me ratings. Well, it's like that episode of

Black Mirror where everybody can see your... You're socially shamed if you're not up to scratch. Or like living in China with your social rating. Black Mirror or,. Or like living in China with your social rating. Black Mirror or, you know, living in China. Similar. I'd love to fly to Wellington. I can't.

I don't have my social as an above four. Yeah. That's actually a thing, isn't it? They ban them from public travelling if your social ratings are under a certain amount. Like it's literally that. So you would like to know your Airbnb rate? Well, how can I find out my... Yeah.

Does anybody know? Sade manages her dad's place that's an Airbnb. Oh, yeah. And so she sees people's scores when you could apply to stay there. I could apply to stay there. Yeah. But then will she accept the book? I don't want to stay there.

It's going to cost you. Oh, we could be nice. We don't dish out this service for nothing. This is actually a good side hustle on the Airbnb Should we go for Easter? Should we go hang out at the place? I've got plans Okay, I'll apply

And then I'll cancel But she'll be able to tell me how many stars I've got Yeah, but then I'd leave a bad review If you booked a place and then immediately cancelled it I'd be like, he's playing me around And I'd give you a terrible review So do you want to risk it? So then I'll apply more

Ouch Yeah I don't know I don't know I'm stuck now You're lying me around and I give you a terrible review. So do you want to risk it? So then it will plummet more. Ouch. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I'm stuck now. I just like seeing old people review for places. It was like this guy was on Shutter Dad's Place. Lovely spot.

Beautiful view. Perfect. Loved it. Four out of five stars because the couch was too low and I got stuck. Oh, that's on you. Old Damon. He got stuck in the couch. This time tomorrow on the show, Matt Damon joins us to talk about the new movie Air along with Marlon Wayans.

I was just trying to Google how much weight he put on for this movie, because you'll sit and you'll be like, holy moly. Oh, really? Well, he's playing like a middle-aged dude who just literally travels around America watching basketball, eating bad food and living in motels. I'd just ask for a fat suit, because I wouldn't

be able to. Imagine being able to just eat and eat and eat and be like, it's for work. Yeah. Just go to freely do it. It's business expense, what I'm doing right now. Yeah, she's doing her taxes. How many rounds of McDonald's can I claim? Show sponsor.

Yeah, I don't know if that's part of your business. But anyway, yesterday I made a monumental booking mistake. This is something Vaughan would do. Oh. Were you booking your friend's flights a month or two ago? No, he booked his own flights. I was in the car when he booked them, but it was the classic March, February mistake of,

if it's not a leap year, the weekdays are the same for the numbers. So he booked the wrong month. February 16th is a Wednesday, March 16th is a Wednesday. Yeah. He booked for March, not February. There was a whole calamity of errors. Well, I booked a flight yesterday, and then I went to go put it in the app, and it didn't show up.

And it was like, this doesn't exist. Because, you know, you put in those six letters and then your last name. So I was like, six letters. And I literally copied and pasted it from the booking. And they were right, and I spelled my name Fletcher, and it just wasn't coming up. And then I like looked at the itinerary that I'd been sent

closer and I'd left an H out of my name. Fletcher. Fletcher. Oh no. So I was booked to fly under Fletcher. Carl Fletcher. Yeah. I'm big Fletcher. Carl Fletcher.

I was trying to say it and a weird accent came out. It wouldn't work because I'd get to the airport and my ID wouldn't match with Flitka. I've had this before when someone's booked a flight for me and they left the Y out of my Jane. They just did J-A-N-E instead of J-A-Y-N-E. And it was like a multi-stop ticket for a big marching trip. And every single place I had to go, have a meeting

with someone, say here's the era here's an email saying so thank god you've noticed it because it's bad news. I know because if I hadn't put it into the app I would have just turned up at the airport and I'd be like you're not Carl Tetka and so I was like googling and it was like

this airline will charge you 100 US dollars to change anything and it was like, oh, this airline will charge you $100 US to change anything. Oh, my. And I was like, oh, no. Oh, no, I don't want to pay that. And the flight itself wasn't even that much. I'm like, do I just get a... Anyway, so I rang them, and I don't know how, but maybe because it was within 24 hours.

Right. They were like, okay, done. It's unreasonable of them not to be like... 100%. Easy mistake. Easy mistake to make. It's not of them not to be like... 100%. Easy mistake. Easy mistake to make. It's not like I was changing both names. Or the date that you were flying or anything like that.

I was literally just adding an H to my name. But I was just like, that could have been so much worse. Oh, God. And that's what I wanted to ask this morning. When have you made a big booking error? My common one is booking the wrong direction. When I would always fly back to Wellington, I would always book Wellington to Auckland,

Auckland to Wellington, not the other way around. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just dum-dum. Just dum-dum. You dum-dum. I've done it at least three times. Really? Because I'm always so careful with the dates.

I'm always like, check. I book them. And then just before you pay, I'm like, yep, yeah. And then just before I pay. That's the year. What year is it? What year is it? 2023. And then I'm like, month, month, day, like, yep, yeah. And then just before I pay. What year is it? What year is it? 2023.

And then I'm like, month, month, day, day. It's right. It's right. And then didn't even think about the name because I was just like. But you know, sometimes when good flights are there, you want to go quick. Yeah. So they don't run out. And so you just go like.

Because there are like three seats left and you're like, ah. And then you take the flight and there's like 40 seats on the plane. Or when I went to ACDC years ago, we went with a big group and my best friend booked the wrong area on the ground. So we were all in one like GA area and she was in like GA

something. Having the time of your life and the best time of your life. Absolutely, we all arrived and she was like off in this other gate we were like, no! And she had to like watch ACDC alone. When have you made a booking whoopsie? Whether it was the wrong dates, the wrong month or year, you turn up to the airport or to wherever. When she booked for ACDC, was she further down?

Yeah, she had like a better. So she was lower. So you'd say if she wanted to go back up to the top, it's a long way to the top if you want to saucer drop. Yeah, it really was a long way. I was waiting for the payoff. I was like, here we go. I was like, where is he heading with this? Taking your calls,

your text messages now. When have you made a booking? Whoopsie. Maybe the wrong day, dates, a spelling typo in your name like I did. I missed out on H. Luckily, I had that change for free, but some people have had to pay huge amounts. Somebody said Delta Airlines in the States charged my dad

$800 to correct the spelling on a flight booking. Not change the name, correct the spelling. Huge amounts. Somebody said Delta Airlines in the States charged my dad $800 to correct the spelling on a flight booking. Not change the name, correct the spelling. $800. Wouldn't it just be cheaper to just not catch that flight and catch a new one? Yeah, just don't turn up. Yeah. That's insane. Oh, not flights.

But I filled out a form and ended up buying the wrong work car for our work fleet. So there was one car that didn't match all the other cars. Okay, that's a big booking whoopsie. Oh, my God. I booked flights to arrive in the UK in June. My visa didn't start till July. So what, you didn't live at the airport for a month? Oh, yeah, you could.

Tom Hanks it. Tom Hanks it, yeah. I'm sure that would sort it out, right? Well, you'd just book a flight straight from there to Europe and just hang in Europe for a month. I'd have to go to Spain for a month. I'd have to go to Spain for a month. Oh, I'm stuck that would sort it out, right? Well, you'd just book a flight straight from there to Europe and just hang in Europe for a month. I'd have to go to Spain for a month. I'd have to go to Spain for a month. Oh, I'm bored.

I'm stuck in Spain. I'm bored in Spain. I might go to Italy for a month. I'm going to go to Papua New Guinea. Emily, what was your booking whoopsie? Hi, yeah. I went on a backpacking trip with my friend through Asia and we just had the worst luck.

Every single flight we had issues with, but there were two in particular. One, she booked us for the wrong month. We were meant to be flying out of one of the Asian countries. We arrived at the airport, and our flight wasn't even there. Oh, for God's sake. Did this test your friendship? No, surprisingly. You say you had the worst luck,

but the examples you've given have just been poor booking. Well, actually, yeah, I would say it was mostly her fault. Yeah, there it is. Yeah, you don't think you should have been in charge of booking the flights, Emily?

Well, I deliberately didn't because I hate organising that sort of thing and the pressure of it. So I passed it to her and honestly, looking back, it was the worst decision. Yeah, you both sound like it wouldn't have been ideal.

I'm surprised we made it home, but anyway. Yeah. Because that's the thing, travelling with friends, it's make or break, same with new couples. Yeah, yeah, for sure. That kind of thing could end relationships, couldn't it? Friendships. Yeah.

Yeah. You did it, Friendships. Yeah. Yeah. You survived. You did. Thank you, Emily. Kylie, what was your booking whoopsie? So this is quite raw because it's very recent. Oh, okay. But we as a group from Christchurch had booked tickets for three adults

and our children to come up to Pink next year. Oh, yeah. Okay. So sold it to the group that we're going to go and stay at the Quarters, which is super bougie for us. Oh, yeah, lovely, lovely. Yeah, okay. Is the Quarters the one with the eight, the smorgie board downstairs? Yeah, yeah, it's got the smorgie board.

It's got the fog. Oh, my God. They do all have great ideas. Oh, my God. Kylie, you just wait. So I run. I got a good quote, my God. They do all great ideas. Oh, my God. Kylie, you just ate some white. So I rang. I got a good quote, $3.79. I was like, yep, want to book that in.

But, you know, is there anything you can do better? For six people. She said, I have to go to the reservations manager. Yeah, okay. And she's like, so will someone ring you back today? I was like, cool, I definitely want to book that in. Nobody rang back. So I emailed saying, hey, spoke to somebody today. I've got this rate of $3.79 definitely want to book that in. Nobody rang back. So I emailed saying, hey, spoke to somebody today.

I've got this rate of $3.79. I want to book it in. But, you know, was just waiting to hear back from somebody. A few more days have gone past nothing. And I rang up in the weekend, $555, $2.99 minimum now. Oh, my God. Book online immediately, straight away. So it wasn't a booking whoopsie as much as you got greedy,

you got a good deal, but you're like, I want a better deal. And they didn't call you back. They're like, stuff this, BI. Yeah. They probably suddenly realised that pink was coming that weekend. They're like, oh, no. Oh, no. Yeah.

Oh, dear. You have to find something else then. Worth it for that smorgasbord. Yeah, yeah. Worth it for the smorgasbord. Oh, smorgie. Let's go get a smorgie. They've got a chocolate fountain, Kylie.

There's a chocolate fountain. Oh. She's a ghost. She's a ghost fountain. She was crazy on it last time, so yeah. Oh, you've been before. Yes, we should have. A chocolate fountain.

Yeah, a chocolate fountain. Got excited. Thank you for your call. Michaela, what was the booking? Whoopsie. So my husband and I were going out to an anniversary trip, very spontaneous, to Mount Ruapehu. Oh, you're stunning. And I sent him a link to National Park to book something there.

But little did I know that I accidentally sent him the link to National Park in Australia not National Park in Zealand. So we booked the accommodation. And then we drove all the way from Auckland and we were like five minutes from what we thought was our accommodation

and it was the wrong place. It was the wrong country. How did you get it so wrong? I don't know. You know, thankfully we laugh now, but back then I was admin. It wasn't my fault. Yeah. You know.

Well, it wasn't my fault. He just booked what you sent him. But did he not look at the photos or at least the address or? No, well, he was, at the time, he was building under a house. So, like, I don't know why he needed to book it when I was more than capable of booking it myself. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, no. But anyway, we ended up getting accommodation

there and apparently it wasn't the first time that had happened so thankfully we made it there. Thankfully we won't be the last. It's probably how they survive. Miss Bookings. Yeah. Small place. Thanks, Michaela. Some messages in. I got a flight home From Christchurch to Wellington

I mixed it up And got to the airport 12 hours early I missed my today-o class And one news reporter Jordan Oppert Saw me crying Outside the airport

Now I wouldn't worry about that Because hey Jordan Oppert Loves standing in a storm Oh she loves Standing in a storm Yes it's raining In Christchurch, Wendy.

There's a veranda right there, Jordan. Yeah, get under the veranda, Jordan. Somebody said, booking whoopsie accidentally flying La Paz, Mexico. Am I saying that right? Sure. Instead of La Paz, Bolivia. Oh, yeah. Oh, no.

Now, a lot of, in Central America, a lot of places with the same name. Yes. You've got to be really careful. So, we ended up, we noticed that when we were an hour into our flight, heading north instead of south, it ended up being an amazing and inexpensive change and we had to book more flights to South America. Right.

Now. Now what? This is a funny story. Okay. But it does tiptoe along certain... It's naughty. It's a little bit naughty. Okay.

But you'll give it a PG. I didn't know that. You can play it well. When you enter a competitive... He's scared. A very well-known triathlon Ironman, you have to put your name, and your name gets put on everything. Yes.

Everything. Oh, okay. Shirts, your medal, your finishing certificate. Yeah, it's on your back, and it's on your tummy. The tattoo they make you get on your calf. They make you get it. They make you get it. And you get your name on it.

They brand you. So once you enter the forms, very hard to get the name changed. Oh, is it? And that's why somebody listening doesn't have the name McQueen as their surname. McQueef is their surname. That's quite

far from N born on the keyboard. I'm just looking at the N. You've got to go past the H, the B, the G, and the V to get to the S. You've got to go past the H, the B, the G, and the V. Yeah. To get to the S. You've got to go past the V. You've got to go past the...

To get to the N to the F, you've got to go past the B and the V. Yeah. To get to the F. Wow. Are you sure they can't? Are you sure they were trying to change it? No, it's too late. You can't tell me.

You've got the email. Someone at the Iron Man office must have been printing that out thinking this can't be right. Steve McQueef. Great, great, great actor. Great, great. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Done.

And then they got the email saying, we'll see you Sunday, Steve McQueef. And they're like, what do you mean? And then they realise this is a mistake. It's too late. It's too late. It's too late. It's been printed. Wow.

Well, that makes me feel better about leaving out just one letter of my name. Fletcher. Fletcher. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day. Day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day, one for the dentists. Good morning, dentists.

Good morning. Vaughan actually was just... Good morning, oral hygienists. Vaughan just had a... Had a torch in his mouth. Yeah, he did quite well, actually. I've chipped a bit of... something's come off. A filling's come off. It looks like previous work you've had done has been less than

satisfactory. And it's chipped. Because it's not like a chipped tooth. It's like a very rich coming from you with a temporary crown running at 12 years. You want to go to our guy. He's going to make a temporary crown last 12 No, I'm going to have to go back. I don't even remember it coming off. Actually, I've just stuck

my finger into that tooth and that's sensitive. Because it's not supposed to be there anymore. But it's got a nerve in it. It was all drilled out before they poured the liquid metal in it.

That doesn't mean that it's a good tooth. It just means you can't feel what's going wrong. Oh, God. That means I've eaten a bit of my tooth. Yeah, I always do that.

Swallow it. I've got very weak teeth. Where's that gone? Poos. It'll come out. It'll come out your poos. Don't worry about it, God. That means I've eaten a bit of my tooth. Yeah, I always do that. Swallow it. I've got very weak teeth. Where's that gone? Poos. It'll come out. It'll come out your poos. Don't worry about it, though. Don't worry about it, though.

Goodness. So today's fact of the day is overbites, according to paleontologists, overbites are only getting worse because of utensils. Oh. The humble knife and fork and spoon. The humble knife and fork and spoon. Because it's taking the small piece of previously cut meat or food and putting it in your mouth.

Whereas when you're biting something big or tearing, like gripping and tearing meat off a bone, which I love. Can't get enough of bones. Mum used to say, I'd say, what's the dinner, Mum? When I was a kid and she'd say mutton. And before I could even get the words out of my mouth, she'd say, yes, you can have the bone. What are you, a golden retriever?

So clenching a piece of meat or food between your jaws and like ripping it off, like how when you bite into an apple. Yeah. And you're really using your jaw and the strength in your jaw to rip it off, kept your teeth lined up. Oh yeah. This is called the stuffer, sorry, then today you'd cut a little bit off and put it in and you're not developing the strength of your jaw. And you know, kids only want to eat bloody nuggies and chips.

Yeah, mush. And soft mush. Yeah. You're supposed to, when you're young and your jaw's developing, your muscles, that's when you should be doing hard chewing. Because I think I've got a soft jaw. Because I didn't eat meat off the bone until I was older. And I'm very delicate. Delicate teeth. Soft jaw. Soft teeth. No chin. No chin.

Wow. You know that is a sore point. What have you done? Weak chin. Rounded moon-like chin. I think you've got a great chin. I've had a moon face since I was born. You've got a round face, but you don't want like a big strong bum chin.

Yes, I do. You want a strong bum chin. What you've got to do is you grow your beard out. Yeah. And it hides it. Just grow the goatee. Grow the goatee. I've got to do is you grow your beard out. Yeah. And it hides it. Just grow the goatee. Yeah.

Grow the goatee and. I've got it lasered. It's too lame. Yeah. Okay.

I would rock a goatee. You would rock a goatee. Yeah. If you're a guy 100%. No.

Absolutely. As a woman. I think I'd rock a goatee. So we're not using our front teeth anymore to like.

To rip. Rip and chew. So now we cut into smaller bits and let our back teeth do all the work. Yes. Well, that's where

I've chipped off the bit. And it's putting less stress on our jaw muscles and it's created a lazy way to eat that doesn't allow the jaw muscles to be exercised

to the fullest extent. They are soft, some more than others and the lack of muscle in the jaw leads to a misalignment that we owe as an overbite because we're eating too many soft foods.

Does chuddy help? Chuddy. Do you think chuddy helps? But you chuddy chuddy with your back teeth. Yeah, you put it in the back teeth. You're doing the very essence of what we're saying is causing the lazy chew. I chew for too weak.

Okay. Fascinating. Overbite is a misalignment where the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth more than five mil. Now, an overbite is better than an underbite. Can we agree on that? If you were to have one of the bites. Which one's that? Where the bottom jaw sticks out more.

What are those dogs that always have an over? Griffins. Yeah. Or like the Shih Tzus. The Shih Tzus do as well. My friend's dog's got it. And he'll be like... Yeah, you can see a dog.

When you can see a dog's bottom teeth, they're not intimidating. No. Dogs should be utilising their top teeth for an... And what else are they? Hey! How are you going to bite me with those things? You did this to me.

You've bred me poorly. And mixed me with things I shouldn't have been mixed with. So, yeah, the overbite is where it goes over the top teeth. It's become so common that it accounts for approximately 70% of dental disorders in children. Oh, wow. Yeah. It can have bad side effects as well, so it's not just kind of like a funny looking. So to get around this, get your kids on the raw bones, like your dogs.

I think you're about to give us an Invisalign plug and a code. No. No. No. No. Well, you think these have been in Invisalign? No. It's meat off the bone.

That's my dental tip for you today. So today's fact of the day is the increased use of utensils has increased the chance of you having an overbite. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Producer Jared drops this bombshell on us Did it, did it, did it, did it. Play it. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Producer Jared drops this bombshell on us just before the show starts this morning. Last night, he made a change to the cutlery drawer.

He took... He also thinks he's alpha dog in the relationship. Yeah, he's not. Doesn't he? He's not. No. So he's just like, I've never seen that. He's had no impression that he's alpha dog in the relationship yeah he doesn't know he's not no he's just so cute he's had no impression i've moved like this this is something an alpha dog does this is a beta dog

test in the water yeah yeah this is beta dog having a little bark well we've got the cutlery drawer and then underneath in the cutlery drawer set the same cutlery drawer. And then underneath it. In the cutlery drawer, set the same cutlery drawer. Knives, forks, spoons, teaspoons. And we've got like a slightly wider cutlery drawer so we can put some big knives in there too. Yeah, right. Wait, what? The odd wooden spoon.

Yeah, okay. That's in a separate drawer. That's a separate drawer. That's in a utensils drawer. That's in a jar on the bench as a decorative spoon. Yeah, we've got that. But the good ones. That you're not allowed to use. That's in a jar on the bench as a decorative spoon. Yeah, we've got that. But the good ones. That you're not allowed to use.

No, you can't use them. Oh, look at someone flexing over their counter space. Yeah, we've got a counter space. So what did you move? We have a spatula that lives in the second drawer. A spatula. Like a fish slice? Describe this spatula to me because lots of things fit the spatula umbrella.

Fish slice. Or is it got a slight curved end for like flipping things? No, it's a flat spat with a cut out in the middle. Yeah, a hole in the middle. I call that a spatula too. Kind of like a triangle shape. Yeah. Odd.

Why don't you go for a normal fish slice like everybody else? It was free. It was free. Okay, fair call. So you decide that this needs to move from the second drawer with all the utensils to the main top cutlery drawer. To the frequently used drawer. Now, does this spatula identify as cutlery? Because it has no place in the top drawer.

Well, I thought it. I'm not getting involved in utensil and cutlery gender wars. thought it... I'm not getting involved in... I'm discussing....you can't sew in cutlery gender wars. Identification. I'm not... But how often is it being used? I'd say almost every dinner. Maybe there's like two or three dinners a week that we don't use this spatula.

Do you have... How many drawers are on offer in your flat? Four in that kitchen. Yeah, no, it doesn't go in there. It goes in the second one. It goes in the second drawer. Third one down is for junk and plastic bags. Yeah.

Yes. Fourth one is just for... Like placemats and more plastic bags. Yeah, yeah, yeah. More plastic bags. And tea towels. Yeah, tea towels. Tea towels.

Plastic bags, tea towels. Well, yeah, I moved it in the afternoon and then went and consoled the middy who was having a very stressful day at uni with assignments and whatnot. You've made it so much worse. Here comes the later. Here we go.

I've moved to special. Beta. No, I didn't tell her because I thought exec decision. Don't be making those. And then he's a nervous little chihuahua like sitting there shaking. So cute that he thinks he can make an executive decision. He's like a beaten greyhound. Yeah, yeah.

Shaking his ass. Ball of anxious nerves. Nothing but a mover. I'm going to bloody chase it. So what did she say when she saw that you'd moved the spatula? Well, I wasn't in the kitchen at the time, but I heard clanging of someone looking for something. She was looking for the spatula.

And then I hear, like, Emma is a very chill person. She is. And then I hear a very distinct, frustrated tone. Where the mm is it? Where is it lives in. Emma is a very chill person. She is. And then I hear a very distinct, frustrated tone. Where the mmm is it? Where is it? Wow. And then I was like, oh no, I know what this is about. So I said, hey, are you looking for the spatula? And she said, yes. I can't find it anywhere.

It's not in the drying rack. It's not in the drawer. Where did you put it? And I said, oh, I made the exact decision to move it up to the cup reader. I'm a fool. Idiot. And she hit the cover. She hit the roof. You put in your place, weren't you?
