Thanks to McCafe, Barista made coffee available from drive-thru and McDelivery at level 3 and also dine-in at level 2. Oh, we've got to get petrol. I am below zero. Vaughan, this is not what I need to hear right now Fletch is pregnant and he needs to be taken for his epidural
Starting point is 00:00:27 I'm getting my epi I'm taking Fletch But I also drove to work with my needle literally under the E-line Well, we've got a lot of time I don't need to be there till 10.40 and it's 9.40 now You're getting your epidurals today Yes, I've just got a form here to fill out A CT guided epidural injection
Starting point is 00:00:44 A patient information and consent form I'm not allowed to eat any food I've just got a form here to fill out. A CT guided epidural injection. A patient information and consent form. I'm not allowed to eat any food. And I'm getting a bit hangry already. I'll tell you that much. Oh, but you've eaten? No, from, you're not allowed to do it two hours before. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:00:58 So I haven't eaten since like eight o'clock. When I got my CT guided jab, it really hurt. Yeah, I know. Megan's so, so apparently they put some local on you. Yeah. And that hurts and stings. You go to West Auckland, so some dude from West Auckland's going to be on you. Is that what you mean by local or local anesthetic?
Starting point is 00:01:14 Yes. Yeah, they gave me a local, but then they did it straight away. Oh, no. You've got to give the local a bit of chance to set in. It was on my hip joint, and I felt the needle pop through the hip joint. You know who does that? You know who does that? You know who does that? Dentists. You know when they jab you to get you numb?
Starting point is 00:01:29 Yeah. And then they get bored? Because they're like, oh, could I just... It'll be done. It'll be done. And then you're just like, ugh. And they're like, oh, well, I'll give it a bit more time. It's like, yes, you will.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Oh, can you feel that? Oh, yes, I can. I can because you literally haven't given it enough time. Yeah. So just like run away for a bit between the local and the. Yeah. So does that mean I'm going to have a numb bum for a few hours? Because I have my lower back.
Starting point is 00:01:51 I'll have it. It'll be localized. No, I don't think it'll go as far as your bum. I think it's very local. But it's like the low back bit. What if it makes my bum cheek so I can't feel them? I'll spank your ass when I pick you up. We'll run some very scientific tests.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Great. I'll give you a spank. A little spanky. That's the only payment I want. Before you're right. I'm dropping you back off again. One big full swing wet hand bear ass spank. Yeah, look, I feel like you've got some things on your list.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Some unresolved issues. Yeah. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleach, Vaughan and Megan, three minutes past six. And it's a long weekend this weekend. It's just dawned on
Starting point is 00:02:46 me. That's good. I need that. Yes, yes, yes. I need that long weekend next week to recover from the weekend just been. Shit, I went to a great party. Last thing I remember, there was someone twerking on a broken ping pong table. Woo! What a blow. Good to blow off some steam.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Good to blow off some steam at a big old party. Seen some chums that I haven't seen for a while. Yeah. I can't even imagine you like that. No, calling it a ping pong table and saying chums, I think that discounts you as being at that party. It was good to see my dogs and someone twerking on a twerking table. Sure, close, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Does that make me more likely to sound about that party? No, still not. I saw the video of that party and it honestly looked like my worst nightmare. Yeah. Everything about it. The volume, how close everybody was. Pre-pandemic, I didn't like that many people in that closest place. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:46 This should be everyone's worst nightmare currently. Currently, yeah, but just outside of any time. Yeah. In a different world. Yeah, nah. Bloody idiots. Bloody idiots. Is that what Phil Goff's called them?
Starting point is 00:04:04 Bloody idiots? Yeah, bloody Idiots. Bloody Idiots. Bloody Idiots. Well, they'll be regretting it after the last 24 hours of social media attention. Yeah. Might be hard to get that sweet collab going forward. Top six is coming up on the show.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Yeah, the top six new wedding venues for Jacinda. You may have seen this was the other big story over the weekend is that there's been a cancellation of wedding venues. The owner of said wedding venue, not happy. And now we've got to find a new place for the PM to get married. Okay. So I've got the top six spots. Real great suggestions because you know me.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Yeah, always. Wedding planner. Yeah. Secret Yeah, always. A wedding planner. Yeah. Secret Sound, all thanks to Neon coming up again this morning with chances to win it. Seven o'clock and eight o'clock.
Starting point is 00:04:53 There was another clue as well put up from Soundkeeper Owls. You can see that ZM Secret Sound Instagram. Next, the 10 best TV shows ever have been decided according to a poll. So people have decided the best best TV shows ever have been decided according to a poll.
Starting point is 00:05:06 So people have decided the best ever TV shows. Yeah. I mean, prepare to disagree. Yeah, I mean, people liked Big Bang Theory, so I don't think you should let the people decide anything. I can't even relate to Big Bang Theory. Those main actors, they were getting a couple of million bucks an episode. All right, it's next.
Starting point is 00:05:25 ZM. ZM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. The best TV shows ever have been looked into by Flix. Do you know the app Flix? Yes. The New Zealand one. Well, it's Australian. Is it?
Starting point is 00:05:37 Okay, right. I thought it was the New Zealand one too. You go on there to find movies and stuff. They've done a poll on what the best TV shows of all time are. 10,000 people discussed this. Okay. I have the top 10 that these people decided on. You're probably, I mean, it's very subjective, so you're probably going to disagree with
Starting point is 00:05:58 a few, but I think these are among the most popular. Number 10, Big Bang Theory. Instantly, this list has no credibility. It gets better. It has no credibility. You shouldn't ask people to decide things. People are idiots. This is purely on popularity.
Starting point is 00:06:15 But like the Big Bang Theory, like it or hate it, they won, did they win Emmys and stuff? Yeah, heaps. It ran for years. It always ran really well. Right. Maybe I'm the idiot then for not getting that show. It was just easy.
Starting point is 00:06:30 It's like friends. It was easy. There was nothing mentally challenging about it. What was that? The Office is number nine. American or British? It doesn't specify, actually. You just assume British, right?
Starting point is 00:06:42 Would you? Yeah. Number eight is The Wire. Great show. Great show. So now you're starting to get on board. Now I'm like, right? Would you? Yeah. Number eight is The Wire. Great show. Great show. So now you're starting to get on board. Now I'm like, this list is good. Now it's taking a turn. So number seven on the top ten TV shows of all time is The Simpsons.
Starting point is 00:06:57 It's a classic. It's a classic. I watched the monorail. I showed the girls the monorail episode at the weekend. Yeah, right. Do they watch The Simpsons often? Like, what do they think of? They're like really, really interested in it. Like, really interested in it. But they're not like,
Starting point is 00:07:11 Dad, stop forcing this old person to turn on us. No, but it's still being made. Yeah, true. And they make like little shorts now that focus on Maggie Simpson and it's just like little Maggie adventures. Right. And I think that was their gateway.
Starting point is 00:07:25 They didn't appreciate. Simpsons was their gateway. They didn't appreciate the intricacies of the monorail episode. Right. But they did like it. Okay. Maybe come back to it in a couple of years. See if they get it there. A few more years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Number six is MASH. Yeah, people rave about MASH. I just remember it always just being on. On before the news. Yeah, it used to be reruns. I feel if you watch it now, it wouldn't have aged well. Yeah, I don't think so show. I just remember it always just being on. On before the news. Yeah, it reruns. I feel like if you watch it now, it wouldn't have aged well. Yeah, I don't think so. There'd be some cancellations.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Yeah, it was made in the 80s, set in the 50s. Yeah. Fairly much. Top five now. So number five of the top TV shows ever made. The Sopranos, which I watched at the time, but I feel like I need to re-watch. How many seasons?
Starting point is 00:08:04 Six seasons of The Sopranos. Hour long episodes but only... It's actually had a bit of a resurgence and all these new generations finding it and re-watching it because HBO just brought out the prequel movie. Yeah, apparently it's not very good. Isn't it?
Starting point is 00:08:20 Because it's actually got a son in it. James Gandolfini's son actually plays him. Plays the young James Gandolfini. That's pretty cool. Our number four, Seinfeld. Yep. Who was it that recently found Seinfeld? Aaron Smith, the All Black.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Oh, yeah. He tweeted, I've just found Seinfeld. Guys, it's great. Like, had he never seen an episode? I don't know. I just saw his tweet. Guys, I've just found Seinfeld. You'll love it.
Starting point is 00:08:46 It's great. Or something. And I was just like, that's brilliant. So you guys, have you guys heard about this show? Yeah, it was made in, because yeah, the first episode of Seinfeld was 1989. Wow. 89 or 87. Yeah, like late 80s.
Starting point is 00:09:03 That's crazy. Wild. So top three TV shows of all 80s. That's crazy. Wild. So top three TV shows of all time. Friends is number three. Yeah. I would have thought that it would have taken the number one spot, but it hasn't. Number two, Game of Thrones. Just forgetting the last season.
Starting point is 00:09:15 I know that last season. Why'd they rush it? Yeah. And number one, the number one TV show of all time, Breaking Bad. Yeah. That's what people voted. Good. It's so perfect, isn't it of all time, Breaking Bad. Yeah. That's what people voted. Good. It's so perfect, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:09:27 It's a great ending. Yeah. It's just, it has everything. Beautifully shot. Yeah. I mean, I'm not just kidding. You can't argue with that. Nah, it's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:09:36 It's really good. Fantastic character development. Yes, it really was. It really was. You know, you saw the whole story, every one of them, you know, just ended in a different situation from where they started. So what you always say about TV shows, it's got to have character development.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, 621. Well, there's been a couple of studies done during the COVID pandemic, and this probably won't come as a surprise to you, but avoiding the news during the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with better mental well-being. Totally. Totally.
Starting point is 00:10:14 There's no need to watch that. 24-7. Yeah, the whole thing all the time. It's not good. Like, I think we all watched a couple of the 1 o'clock press briefings when it first happened. Yeah. And then every day you're like, I think we all watched a couple of the 1 o'clock press briefings when it first happened. Yeah. And then every day you're like, I just can't deal with this.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Yeah. It was appointment viewing first time around. Yeah. But then this time I'm more than happy for it to slide by and then to just get one push notification. Yeah. To say the numbers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:42 That's all I want and need. The season is lost. It's luster. Yeah. yes it's repeating a lot of the story lines yeah yeah speaking of the yeah and then you know tv show plotline it jumped the shark a couple of times with these like 71 new community cases that was a real i was like okay what's gonna be tomorrow 80 give me a break um yeah. Yeah. I mean, unfortunately. No character development. I know we just talked about that moments ago.
Starting point is 00:11:08 You know, they're out there peddling the same old thing. Yeah. Well, sometimes Ashley's not on an episode and they'll bring in Carolyn McLinney. Yeah. She's lovely. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:22 But do you think we need more characters? It's like when they replace Aunt Viv on Fresh Prince She's good but She's not Ashley She's not Aunt Viv Yeah right Or Ashley Aunt Ashley at this
Starting point is 00:11:35 Aunt Ashley yeah Aunt Bloomfield At this stage But then like And also that's only the actual news What about like all the misinformation and stuff out there that people spend way too much time on and then they rabbit hole themselves
Starting point is 00:11:49 and then before they know it, they're in conspiracy echo chambers being a relay unit in this dangerous world of misinformation. Well, I think you can add social media to news avoidance for your mental wellbeing. Yeah. I totally agree. It's hard though, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:12:08 You've got to keep up with what's going on, but then how much is too much? Let's try to find the perfect balance. What? Let's try to find the perfect balance. Okay, it's radio. You know, whispering doesn't work, Vaughan. You need to project your voice
Starting point is 00:12:23 so the listeners can hear. Let's just try something new. Yeah, don't do that. No, whispering doesn't work, Vaughan. You need to project your voice so the listeners can hear. Let's just try something new. Yeah, don't do that. No, they don't like whispering. See, even your volume did a little bit there. We all just could do with a half volume. I think we could all do with a half volume day. Do you think?
Starting point is 00:12:36 It's just a little bit slower and it's a little bit quieter. Next on the show. Insurance. Oh, God, no, because when you say insurance like that, it sounds very boring. Yeah. Insurance. No, it still doesn't sound appealing.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Insurance. A way of which my insurance premiums would only go up. There's a new way of calculating how much you should be paying for insurance, and I do not like it at all. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Tesla, I didn't know this. Tesla, in America, Tesla has offered insurance to Tesla car drivers, specifically for those.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Oh, so you don't need to go to your insurance people. Yeah, you can just do it through the car. And they're going to do this in Texas as well. They're going to be offering insurance to people, but your car determines your insurance premiums because Tesla is constantly reporting back to Tesla HQ. Oh, I don't like that. About your driving.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Everything about your driving. How rapidly you accelerate. What your braking's like. How much stress you put on the car when you corner. Lane drifting. If you're doing it completely by manual, it's still scanning to see where the lanes are. So it knows everything about your driving.
Starting point is 00:13:54 And the cameras would always be on your face as well, so it would know if you're on your phone. It would know if you're paying attention. It knows if you're daydreaming and your eyes are looking somewhere else, and then you're looking straight forward as you slam on the brakes. It knows everything about you. And thus your insurance premium will be higher because you are a more dangerous driver.
Starting point is 00:14:13 I mean, this is kind of like statistically how insurance premiums are dictated, right? Yeah. As it is, they know certain things about you, you know. Well, it's like if you have speeding tickets or you had other accidents, your insurance premiums will be more. Yeah. But this is like, this is more, this is intense. This isn't just like by demo either.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Males. Excuse me, males in their early 20s. Yeah. Sorry, you got bad insurance premiums or higher insurance premiums because you're more likely to be involved in accidents. Yeah. Whereas now they might have a driving record
Starting point is 00:14:49 that says they're actually quite a safe driver compared to females over 25. And that's the thing. If you are a safe driver, this is good. So they're going to have to insure it first before they get a track record of yours. So is your premium going to be altered depending on how? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Maybe. That would be quite confronting if you get the report after a year and they're like, you're actually a terrible driver. You've got a lead foot. You're hanging around those corners. The number of forward collision warnings you get every 1,000 miles is one of the things. Oh, that'd get you. No, but sometimes those things go off and you're like,
Starting point is 00:15:27 I've seen the car, they're turning. You know, like, and it's like, baby, baby, I got a crash. It's like, no, I'm not, chill out. Well, our shut-a's car, when you're backing out of like, in the supermarket car park, it can detect cars coming, which is very handy. It just goes, did, did, did, did. You can't see them because it's in the car park.
Starting point is 00:15:44 What about trolleys? Does it get trolleys? Yeah, anything behind. But if you're slowly crawling out and there's a car going on, and it's giving you heaps of room, but you're just slowly crawling, it'll go, and jam on the brakes. And you're like, I saw it coming. That's why it was going really slow so it could go around.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Right. But it's like, no! It jams on the brakes. The Tesla's insurance will also be determined on the amount of times you hard brake, how often you take too fast turns, how closely you drive behind other drivers. I mean, the Tesla should be taking care of this.
Starting point is 00:16:15 And how often you take your hands off the wheel when autopilot's engaged. What is autopilot for if not taking one's hands off the wheel? Yeah. Wow, That is. I kind of want it to just, I want one just so it can do the assessment on me. Just so I can see. But then it's too late.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Yeah. Unless you drive your friend's one or go to a dealership. Yeah. It's like a report card because then, you know, you get a bad report. You're like, well, I've got to be on my best behavior driving this month. And everybody that I've ever seen with a Tesla, the first thing they do when someone gets in and they have never been in a Tesla before, they're like, been in a Tesla?
Starting point is 00:16:53 And the person's like, nah. And they're like, watch this. And they just floor it because it just goes zoom on a rocket. They're like, okay, you've been in a Tesla before? No, I haven't. Can you chuck me $25 because that's how much my insurance premium before? No, I haven't. Can you chuck me 25 bucks? Because that's how much my insurance premium goes up every time I do this. From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest.
Starting point is 00:17:15 So Adele has revealed that she hosted a listening party for her album for her friend, Drake. Now, do you remember? I'm pretty sure it was Drake that we saw leaving her house late at night and everyone's like, what's going on there? Like a year ago, remember? Yeah, yeah. And we were like, what is happening? Well, it turns out that it could have been one of these times
Starting point is 00:17:37 when she was playing him her album. She said, I played it to Drake last year when he was in town and was like, is this what people want or not? He said, absolutely. But that's it really. And she said, he then, when she dropped her single, said, one of my best friends in the world has just dropped a single with a smiling emoji. So it turns out they're just BFFs. And he heard the album a year ago.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Well, I think it's like a lot of artists, she just sat on it because of COVID, right? Yeah. And now she'll be tweaked in. Yeah, and now it's raked up the most streams in a single day on Spotify. Yeah, she beat the record. Who had the record before her? BTS, I believe.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Right, okay. But she's probably had that record before. Pepsi Max is fueling the latest. Max taste, no sugars given. All right, coming up on the show, it's the top six. Yeah, the top six new wedding locations for Jacinda and Clark. It's a bit of a right kerfuffle. Right kerfuffle.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Right kerfuffle. Right kerfuffle. Delve into that soon on the show. Also coming up, your chance to win cash, $15,000. The current jackpot, ZM's Secret Sound. All thanks to Neon is coming up, your chance to win cash, $15,000, the current jackpot, ZM's secret sound. All thanks to Neon is coming up, the activated just before seven.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Next on the show, three things not to do when you fall in love. Fletch. Get them to sign a prenup? Is that one of them? No, you should absolutely do that. Immediately, immediately.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Sign here, please. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. A therapist has revealed the three things you should not do when you fall in love or when you think you're falling in love. Actually, this therapist is a co-founder of Therapy Den. It's a platform where people can find therapists for all kinds of reasons, whatever you need. So he's delving into love. And this is something we spoke about last week.
Starting point is 00:19:26 People feeling love and positive thoughts to people on TikTok especially. Like, I love them. I need them in my life. Yeah, and they don't actually know them. They don't know them. Hero worship sort of, but more on a personal level. Yeah. So he says, first of all, first thing you should not do when you think
Starting point is 00:19:45 you're falling in love, don't fool yourself into thinking that you're actually in love. You've got to be together for a little bit. And he said, once you see how dumb and annoying they are, and you still think that your head over heels in love, then you're actually probably in love. Right, because you can stand all there. You've got to get to the messy bits.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Yeah, right. Don't move too fast is the second mistake. Even though you want to see them every single day, he actually sets a limit and says that up to two or three times during the week is enough to take it easy in the beginning. Otherwise, you're getting too hot and heavy and you're likely to crash and burn. Yeah, right. Kind of leave you wanting more.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Yeah. Okay. Definitely you, kind of leave you wanting more. Yeah. Okay. Definitely didn't follow that. Number three, the third thing you should not do when you're falling in love is don't make any big decisions. So he says,
Starting point is 00:20:34 you think you're in love and you think you're with the one, but there's so many chemical reactions and hormones going on in your body and in your brain, you're bound to make some pretty bad decisions. So don't quit school.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Don't like decide you're going to move overseas and follow the band or something crazy like that. That's his quote. Yeah. I'm not speaking from my experience. Because did you? You followed a band, didn't you? No, I did not.
Starting point is 00:20:58 But yeah, don't make any major life decisions until you're sure and you're in the relationship. But then you always, you have those friends that moved overseas real quick and they're still together. Yeah, well, I mean, sometimes it works out and that's because
Starting point is 00:21:12 they were compatible. But you also have those friends that move overseas and then they're back in a week. Yeah. Well, they move overseas for someone and then end up
Starting point is 00:21:23 with someone else. Yeah. But it worked out, I guess, didn't it? Well, they move overseas for someone and then end up with someone else. Yeah. That worked out, I guess, didn't it? Well, somebody looked out for somebody. I know, I was just, yeah. Yeah, anyway. From the vulnerable ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Hello there. Today's Top Six, dealing with the Prime Minister's new wedding venue. She needs a new one. Yeah. After it's all fallen through at the Bushmere Arms venue. That's in Gisborne, outskirts of Gisborne. I'm looking at it now. And I went to do a tour, but apparently I need Adobe Flash Player 9, 10 or higher.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Do you have Adobe 10? I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think anyone's using Adobe Flash you have Adobe 10? I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think anyone's using Adobe Flash anymore, are they? I don't know either. But I'm looking at their wedding venue. From one to 200 people. I don't know who's having a wedding and inviting one person.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Right. It literally says from one to 200 people. Some people only have one friend. I'm getting married again and I'm only inviting one person. Who would that one person be? Your wife? I haven't considered her. Surely she would be outside of the...
Starting point is 00:22:37 Because then that would be two. So this sounds like... So they apparently a couple of years ago were like We want to get married here Because this is Clark's home province It is yeah And then they've obviously said
Starting point is 00:22:53 Look we're going to get a celebrity chef Peter Gordon Peter Gordon to do the catering And it looks like the guy that runs the wedding venue Is like thinking it's going to be a collab And they're like No he it's going to be a collab and they're like no he's just going to do it all so that's external catering to which is not that doesn't fly here at the bush mare arms yeah because they that's how a lot of venues make their money isn't
Starting point is 00:23:17 it but then what do you just suck up even if it was a little bit of a loss because this is going to be in every woman's magazine and over all the news. Yeah. Like, you're going to be booked out because people are going to be like, I want to get married where the Prime Minister got married. Yeah. They'd be there.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Maybe not young gnats, but everyone else would. No, that young gnats would be, they would be into it because they'd be like, oh, we've got to have it there and make it flashier. Make it better.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Show it right. We've got to outdo the Prime Minister. Like, you'd almost give it to her for free, wouldn't you? For a venue. Think of the publicity. I don't know. You're never going to be able to buy that publicity. Well, anyway, he wants $5,000.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Yeah. Like cancellation fees. But it doesn't sound like there was a... Was there a contract? I... It doesn't go into that, does it? I don't know. I would hate to run a wedding venue.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Reason number one, people. Yeah, bridezillas. You can't go right when you're dealing with humans. Any where. At the best of times. Oh, God, and so many of them. It'd be bad enough running an accommodation. Imagine working in a venue. Oh, God, and so many of them. It'd be bad enough running an accommodation. Imagine.

Starting point is 00:29:53 Play ZM. ZM's $50,000 secret sound. Season 10. It is season 10 of ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. $15,000 is the current jackpot, and it is all thanks to Neon. Watch TV series and movies hand-picked for Kiwis by Kiwis on Neon. Lauren joins us.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Good morning, Lauren. Good morning. How was the weekend? Oh, it was pretty quiet. It was pretty bad weather in Wellington, so just outside. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right, well, maybe $15,000 could...
Starting point is 00:30:32 I know. ...kick the week off, put you in a good mood. Soundkeeper Owls joins us. Good morning, Soundkeeper Owls. Good morning. How are you guys? Good. Now, Lauren, did you see the clue that was put up?
Starting point is 00:30:44 I did, but I didn't interpret it, so it's a bit of a gamble today. How are you guys? Good. Now, Lauren, did you see the clue that was put up? I did, but I didn't interpret it. So, it's a bit of a gamble today. Now, it is, Soundkeeper, is it sign language? Yes, it's New Zealand Sign Language, which a few people thought were a bit confused. However, it's, I think, important. Did you learn that clue or do you know sign language? I learned that clue, but it was really interesting learning a little bit of sign language. And I will say my name's in there, so I got to learn how to say my name, which was really fun to learn.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I'm very impressed because it looked so fluid. It looked like you were already versed in New Zealand sign language. Well, thank you. I would like to keep learning, actually. It's very fun. Well, you keep this up and you could be at one of those one o'clock press conferences behind the Prime Minister. Oh, that would be fun.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Besties with Jacinda. Yeah. Well, Lauren. It's not about you. It's about the announcer. No, no, no. It's about Lauren. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:31:33 You'd be pushing it in front of the Prime Minister doing your sign language. Yeah, and the people who are watching for the sign language are reading you and being like, why is she telling us that she's besties with the Prime Minister? Shouldn't she be giving us some numbers or something? Yeah, sorry. I'll focus on that. All right. Well, this is the secret sound.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Lauren, for $15,000, what do you think it is? So, I think it's when you're playing that game Boggle, or Burgle, however you say it. It's definitely said Boggle. No one calls it Burgle. I would say Boggle too.
Starting point is 00:32:04 And it's when you're shaking the dice in the container and you're shaking it really fast and it makes that noise. How did you think of that, Lauren? I think I played that game all the time when I was a kid. This is one of those nostalgic noises that when I heard it I was like
Starting point is 00:32:19 wait a minute. Yeah, we're talking about that in Brian Clint how some noises you just remember as a child and you carry on with them throughout your life. I will tell you now, though, Lauren, I love the guess, but is it the secret sound? It would be great to start off the week with that. However, I'm going to say that that isn't the secret sound, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:32:46 All right. Hard luck, Lauren. Eight o'clock is the next chance for you to win the cash. All the clothes, the guesses that we've had are at the Instagram ZM Secret Sound
Starting point is 00:32:57 so you can keep updated. Coming up on the show, we're going to refund somebody's date. They've had a terrible first date and they would like to apply for their money back. Next on the show,
Starting point is 00:33:06 I wish that I'd read some instructions over the weekend because it's backfired on me. Oh, you only read instructions if something goes wrong. Yeah, that's exactly what happens. Most of the time
Starting point is 00:33:15 it's too late by now, isn't it? Alright, it's next. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. So yesterday, there's no way that I can go and get my eyebrows dyed,
Starting point is 00:33:24 just by the way, because, you know we're in level 3 what do you dye your eyebrows for because you always dye your eyebrows
Starting point is 00:33:30 yeah but that's what I was going to say I always do it myself anyway what about your hair what do I dye it or
Starting point is 00:33:37 no do you dye your hair no it's my so why do you dye your eyebrows because my eyebrows go lighter so do my are you saying that I should be dyeing my eyebrows?
Starting point is 00:33:47 I've said that to you so many times. I've literally heard you. Not only Megan, about a thousand people say, have you considered dyeing your eyebrows? It's on my bucket list. Please, one day. For some reason, my eyebrows fade out to nothing. They go blonde.
Starting point is 00:34:01 They go brown to blonde. They're the whole way, but halfway it's like... But then, okay, imagine I turn up to work and I've dyed my eyebrows. Could you imagine? I'd laugh. Everyone would laugh. But then I'd stop laughing. And then eventually I'd get used to it.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Right. But it would look weird, wouldn't it? It'd look so weird. Only initially. No, it'd look so weird. Everyone would just look at me. Please let me. No, I kind of like the beard. I'll get you a lighter colour. Because mine's like brown black. I'll get you a lighter colour.
Starting point is 00:34:30 No. Ginger. Oh, God, one day. Or just, yeah. One day. No one's perfect, guys. I'm going to get you a bottle of Prosecco and then you'll let me. I mean, like, you're going to drink the bottle of Prosecco.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think after two, two and a half bottles of Prosecco, you can do anything you want to me. Jesus. Yeah. Eyebrows wise. Well, you look hot. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:51 So, yeah, I always dye them anyway. But the little thing that I've bought has changed. So it used to be two things, you mix it together and you put it on your eyebrows. Well, like an epoxy. Like an araldite. Like a super glue. Yeah, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Like on the repair shop. One's like a liquid and one's like a little gel. And you used to mix them together and just put them on. Okay. Now it's two tubes. And I've done it before. I've done it once with this new system. And I was like, the second time yesterday, I was like, I know what I'm doing.
Starting point is 00:35:20 This tube goes first. And it turns out that I did the wrong tube. So I put the tube number two on first. Oh, you silly goose. I wiped it off quickly and I was like, I'll start again. And then I went number one and number two. Except when I took it off, after literally like a minute, it looked like I'd vivided my eyebrows.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Like, I bless you guys for not saying anything. No, they look fine. Because they're very dark. But do you know, they are very dark. Can you see down here? I wouldn't know. There's a big black smudge where I smudged it down my face. Oh, yeah, I can now. But it just looks like a shadow.
Starting point is 00:35:53 I feel like I'm crying. Yeah, no, it is just a shadow. Sometimes I cry on the drive-thru. Yeah. I'm just lucky I just don't wear mascara. Yeah. Otherwise I get here and you'd be like, well, what's wrong? But now I can get here and I've got, I put some cooling stuff on my eyes
Starting point is 00:36:07 and then when I get up here it doesn't look like I've been crying. Yeah. It had dyed my skin as well. So I had two big vivid black lines. Was this Saturday? No, it was yesterday. Oh, okay. I scrubbed my face with so much exfoliant.
Starting point is 00:36:21 I think I literally lost a few eyebrows and this is the result. But it's still very dark. So they're very dark. I wouldn't have ever noticed. I think I literally lost a few eyebrows and this is the result but it's still very dark. So they're very dark. I wouldn't have noticed. I think I've managed to get some off my skin but this is when you should read the instructions. Is that what Brian Tarmacky does? Because he's very
Starting point is 00:36:37 pronounced. He has a tattoo. He has a tattoo and then I don't know what he's done with the rest of it. That's why they're a little bit green. The ink is faded a bit. He needs a re-joj, I think. Yeah. And what's the new tattooing style called? Feathering.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Not just going for block. Yeah, you go feathering, don't you? Yeah. Come on, Brian. You've got enough money. It's not a money issue. And if you need some, just ask for more. Like I've got no time for you at all. I think you're an
Starting point is 00:37:07 absolute scourge on society and a piece of shit, but I don't like seeing anybody with eyebrows like that. Even my, even you know, someone I've got absolutely no time for. But if they evaporated today or dissolved in the rain, I wouldn't give a second thought to it. But while you are
Starting point is 00:37:23 here, those eyebrows, sweetheart. Down. On. So I would like to know when you didn't read the instructions, what happened? Oh, okay. What was the aftermath? There'd be some, I mean, not just,
Starting point is 00:37:37 you're not just looking for beauty and makeup. Anything. Anything. Where you really backed yourself. You're like, I know what I'm doing. I've done this before. I don't need to read the instructions. Like kit set stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:47 You know, how hard can this be? Here's a couple of screws. I blew up a Fusion car stereo once. Of course you did. Because, yeah, I should never ever have done it. But I plugged a non-powered speaker into a powered speaker port. Is that a thing? Anyway, it smoked.
Starting point is 00:38:04 So that's how I know I did something wrong. Okay. I took it back. I was like, this doesn't work. And they were like, smells smoky. I was like, you're telling me, mate. I don't know. You're the expert.
Starting point is 00:38:15 All right, well, give us a call. 0800 dials at M. You can text as well, 9696. When didn't you read the instructions? We'd love to know when you didn't read the instructions. Shout out to everyone on the text machine that wants the OG formula of my eyebrow dye back because we have all given ourselves vivid eyebrows because I tried to dye my eyebrows yesterday with a new thing and didn't read the instructions
Starting point is 00:38:37 and I just ended up with black eyebrows and black skin. But you've obviously done a good job. Like, we can't tell you've dyed your skin. I literally almost made my eyebrows bleed exfoliating. You had a fire at the weekend, right? I saw that on the gram. An outdoor fire. Someone said, lick the finger.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Please don't lick it like that. Lick your finger. Yeah. Tap it in the ash from the fire, obviously, once it's cooled. And then that is like the ultimate exfoliant for removing dye. Really? Oh, because it soaks it up. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Does it soak up the dye? I don't know. Wow. But yeah, that would charcoal work. I remember that was when you'd clean the window of the fireplace, you'd get wet newspaper and dip it in the ash left behind, and it would like scrub glass really, really well. Wow.
Starting point is 00:39:25 All right, well,. Wow. All right. Well, we'll take some calls. Claudia, when did you not read the instructions? I was making dinner for my family. I made Thai green curry and we always used like a paste from a jar. Yeah. But I didn't really read the instructions. We went to eat it and nobody could eat it because it was so spicy and hot.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I used the whole jar, but I was only supposed to use a third of it. I know that little jar with the yellow lid. Yeah, I know that. And you used like one or two tablespoons max. Yeah. And you did a whole jar. Wow. Yeah. Did you did a whole jar. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Did you water it down or did you just all throw it out? We just threw it out because we had already put, like, coconut milk and everything trying to, like, make it better, but it didn't work. I've never made a green...
Starting point is 00:40:21 We've got it, and Sade will make green curry, but I've never known him. I would have done the same thing because I would have been like, yum, this is more flavour. Whole jar. No, no. Your whole jar.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Yeah, you can do like four different curries out of a jar, really. Wow. Claudia, thanks for your call. Some messages in. Someone said the internet is the thing I use without reading the instructions. When I was living in England, my n Nana sent me 100 pounds for my birthday. I used it to buy myself and my cousin tickets to see Miranda live. But didn't read the information properly and booked the tickets for 2014 instead of 2013.
Starting point is 00:40:54 The visa ended before the show, so I had to give the tickets away. Always read when you're booking for. Yeah. Yeah. Partner and I decided to put a bookcase together after a day of copious drinking. Didn't bother with the instructions because, you know, it's a bookshelf. How many ways could it possibly go together?
Starting point is 00:41:09 Well, the back panel and the shelves are inside out. Oh. I guess. And you can see the particle board on the front of the shelves. Oh, no, no, no. Still. Like, they left it like that. Yeah, take it apart.
Starting point is 00:41:23 That's disgusting. You shouldn't be able to see. I mean, we all know everybody's bookshelves are made of particle board, but we don't want to see it. Yeah, hide it. We all know everybody's using the cheapest, crappiest material for their bookshelves, but hide your shame against the wall.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Somebody said, every time, don't read how much pasta you need to cook per person. And the other day I made a dish for two and there was like three quarters of the pot left over. Just put the whole bag in. Yeah. Let's reheat that later. Yum. Also, you never, always underestimate how much that swells.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Like, yeah, I can eat all of that. I know, it really does swell, doesn't it? Yeah. Mmm. Pasta. Buddy. Real swelly. Huh?
Starting point is 00:42:04 It just always does. Yeah, it swells up. Pasta. Real swally. Huh? It just always does. Yeah, it swells up. Pasta's so swole. And spaghetti. I mean, that's the type of pasta, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Was there any truth to that thing about the spaghetti spoons, you know, the ones with the claws on the outside
Starting point is 00:42:18 and then the hole in the middle and the hole was how much spaghetti per person? Oh, yeah, but that was too little, right? That wasn't enough spaghetti. Nah. Is that a serving size of spaghetti? Yeah, which is never enough. Serving sizes are dumb. Rubbish.
Starting point is 00:42:29 So dumb. There was chocolate the other day, it was like, serving size, two squares. I'm like, um, what? Yeah, that's just to cover their ass when people come for them. They're like, um, we've put on the packet. You made me fat. Hey, you made me fat! And they're like, no, refer to the packet. I told you,
Starting point is 00:42:45 two squares. I thought you made me fat. And they're like, no, refer to the packet. I told you, two squares. I thought you meant two blocks. Next, I've got the physical signs that someone's into you. Oh, don't do that. Did you see that? Oh, it's just. Eyebrow. Just raised her overly painted eyebrow at me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Thank you. It looked like a pointy witch's finger. Okay. Thank you. Lovely. All. It looked like a pointy witch's finger. Okay. Thank you. Lovely. All right, next. ZM. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan.
Starting point is 00:43:10 I have a bunch of signs that someone's into you. These are physical signs. So if you're standing in front of someone, you find them quite attractive. You're on a date or something. Like body language stuff. Yeah. More than just body language, though. Like actual physical signs.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Stiffies. Okay. Jesus. It's not on the list. No, that's not. Stiffies. Okay. Jesus. It's not on the list. No, that's not. But I'm not disputing it. That's not just for men. That's women, too.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Please don't. Stiff nipples. Everybody, it might be cold. The air con might be up too high. How old are you? What else would you like me to call them? Erections. That sounds so much more,. It does sound more scientific.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Okay, that is their name. Certainly a sign someone's into you. We'll give you that. It is. We'll give you that. It wasn't on my list, so you've added something. Thank you, Vaughn. Stiff.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Yep. I can add some more too. I'll start thinking. No, it's fine. Their pupils are dilated. I was just about to say, a-ooga eyes. Technically, Their pupils are dilated. What about... I was just about to say, a-ooga eyes. Technically,
Starting point is 00:44:06 your pupils are dilated. Unless you're at like a dance party then. I mean, you just think everyone's into you. But apparently, oxytocin, dopamine and stuff, they help dilate your pupils. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:19 And it's so that you can be wide-eyed and like study the interesting details of something in front of you that you're into. So, literally, your pupils will give you away. What am I talking about? I'm only going to go on dates. I'm not going on dates.
Starting point is 00:44:33 I'm married and if I'm not married one day I'm certainly not going dating again. I only go on dates in dimly lit areas. Because their pupils have to be big and then by proxy they have to be big and by proxy, they have to be into you. What if you go on a date and you're at the beach in the sunshine
Starting point is 00:44:50 and they're facing the sun and they've got pinhole eyes are they not into you or are they into you but the sun is... I don't know, the environment's working against you. Yeah, okay. Turn them around so the sun's not in their eyes. Vaughn's got a point, go on dimly lit dates in dimly lit places. In dimly lit places.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Caves. Caves. Basements. Yep. Carpark buildings. Yes, carpark buildings. Under wharves. Yep.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Warehouses. Yeah. There's some great spots for the first dates. Yeah. The next one is... The back of a van. Okay. Someone's breathing pattern could sync up with yours if they're into you.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Oh, okay. But then you're going to sit there going. You just kind of lean over and you're just like. Trying to listen to their breath. Just hearing you breathe. Do you do that? If you get into bed and your partner's already asleep and you match their breathing and you'll be asleep in no time. It says that, yeah, partners do this naturally because because you know, they're into each other and they can
Starting point is 00:45:45 sync up their heart rate and their breath. I just do it. I'm like, she's already asleep so she must be onto something with this breathing and so I'll try to do it at the same time. Do you ever find like, what if they breathe in and it's like a long one and you're just like
Starting point is 00:46:00 Oh, you've got to be ready for that next time. You've got to be ready to go next time. You've got to be ready to go next time. It's a bit deeper than I thought. So you've got to wait or then you're out of sync and it's weird. And then Sade wakes up and I'm like right in behind her going Going to sleep.
Starting point is 00:46:19 I'm trying to make you a breathing. Okay. If you're on a date and someone's sweating profusely, that is a sign that they're apparently into you. But it's also not. No. Totally attractive. It's not super sexy that they're soaked in the pits.
Starting point is 00:46:36 No. Yeah. Raised eyebrows, a physical sign that someone's into you. Okay. Is that because you're like in tree? You're like, okay. But again, if they're sitting in the sun squinting, that could be why as well.
Starting point is 00:46:50 So don't go for dates in the sun. But they'll be sweating. Yeah, true. But they'll be squinting. And they'll have pinholes. Yeah. Blinking rapidly apparently is another sign that someone's into you. But again, the sun.
Starting point is 00:47:03 You're making their eyes so dry that they feel the need to rapidly moisturise their eyeballs. Yeah. So the moral of the story is don't go on a date in the sun and you can see the physical signs it's not into you. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Well, Megan, you're famous for doing Christmas shopping
Starting point is 00:47:20 early. I have the gun. It's true. In fact, you said on Friday, you were like, when you left work, you were like I might put on my Christmas tree this weekend. I have the gun. It's true. In fact, you said on Friday you were like, when you left work, you were like, I might put on my Christmas dress this weekend. I didn't. I want to. I'm resisting just because I usually do it at the end of October. It doesn't feel... Because if you
Starting point is 00:47:36 do it early, you're getting to the end of October and you're not going to have that little bump. I want to like pace myself. Yeah. Yeah. Because want to like pace myself. Yeah. Yeah. Because if you go early, yeah, and then it'll get to October and you're like, well, let's
Starting point is 00:47:49 open the presents. Yeah. I need something else. End of October and then it'll get to Christmas and you're like, what do we do now? Well, we're 67 days away from Christmas and a study has shown that one in five Americans had started holiday shopping last month. Where? Because of, I'm guessing,
Starting point is 00:48:09 the news of the global supply chain and shortages and issues. There's been a few stories about it on the news. They're like, if you want toys, then you better get shopping now. And then kids are watching the news and they're like, ah! Panic!
Starting point is 00:48:23 Ah! I want toys. And there was a story, I think Thursday last week, Trade Me have seen new toy sales on their site up 40% compared to last year. Wow. So if you don't want to have a screaming, crying kid or two at Christmas, get onto it now. Because yeah, it looks like if you're going to leave it until December,
Starting point is 00:48:46 you're going to be tough out of luck. Do you know Trade Me is so lit currently? Like we've been selling things. Let's calm down on the use of lit. We've been selling things on Trade Me. People are going bananas. Like paying, like wanting to pick it up straight away.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I'll offer you like so much money. What are you selling? Like outdoor furniture and all sorts of random stuff that we were money. What are you selling? Like outdoor furniture and all sorts of random stuff that we were like, what are you going to sit on outside? And like all these light fittings and things that we changed in the house. Are you stripping your house? Take down the lights.
Starting point is 00:49:15 But we got a new, like a bigger outdoor set. But the old set, people were like fizzing for. Is it because they can't... Have to sit outside? That too, but is it because they can't... Have to sit outside? That too, but is it because they can't get a new outdoor set? Probably. They have to wait like six weeks or God knows how long. But if you have
Starting point is 00:49:32 anything at home that you're like, oh, I should sell that. Do it now. I don't want to. People are like, what is the centimetres from the end to the end? And you're like, what is it? What is the depth of the pillow? I'm like, it's just a what is it? And they're like, no, no, that end, the other end. What is the depth of the pillow?
Starting point is 00:49:46 I'm like, it's just a pillow. What do they want to know how thick the, what do you call those things? A squab thing.
Starting point is 00:49:52 They want to know how thick the squab is. Oh no, that's a good, that's a fair question because you know when you, have you ever sat
Starting point is 00:49:56 on a seat and then like, you look at it and you think, that's going to be really soft and comfy and then you sit down too fast
Starting point is 00:50:02 and you go, tonk, onto the bottom. But when you buy that from a shop, I guess you can maybe sit on it. But you don't get the dimension. You can see. It's a pillow. It's a normal squab.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Yeah, but they might be looking at it thinking, what if this is a miniature couch? Because we've all seen those stories online about the person that bought something and it ends up being a miniature. Yeah. Yeah, it is draining. All right, well well you've been warned 67 days away from Christmas. Get onto it ASAP if you don't want disappointed family
Starting point is 00:50:33 members. Otherwise just get them a voucher, right? Those will still be around. Yeah. We'll just use it as an excuse and be like, oh I should have missed out. Or service station presents. Christmas Day, that always works a treat, doesn't it? Here's a fuel can and a map. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Some sunglasses. And a trumpet. It is all in the name, but this is where we refund someone's date. They went on the date, it didn't go to plan, and it was not pleasant. We welcome to the show, Toni. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good. So, Toni, start from the start. What happened? So, I work at a small shop, let's just say, not to let off too much information.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Okay, the warehouse. Yeah, cook and bacon shop, let's just say that. Okay. So, I was out the back actually in the kitchen and he'd come into work a couple of times this day and he ended up giving his number to one of my colleagues who came out the back and gave it to me and said, look, this guy's given your number, given his number.
Starting point is 00:51:37 And I said, oh, yes, I saw him out the front there. He's pretty damn cute, you know. Oh, okay. So I texted him and a couple of days go by, we've been texting back and forth. Yeah. And then I realised, okay, he actually wants to take me out and I don't usually go on dates with anybody,
Starting point is 00:51:54 so I was pretty excited. And we decided he'd come out on the beach to where I was a bit more comfortable. So we went down the beach and I made us a milkshake at my workplace. And we're sitting in the car watching the sun go down and we were talking about
Starting point is 00:52:08 what attracted us to each other kind of in the first place and he asked me first and I said, well, I don't know, you had a cute smile or I thought you were pretty cute and you seemed warm. I think I actually remember telling him his aura was yellow because he felt really bright to me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Oh God, what did he say? Here we go. He goes, oh, that's really interesting because I wasn't actually attracted to you at all, but your eyes saved you. What? That's a compliment, that wasn't it? Excuse my language, but who the hell says that? How did he just say
Starting point is 00:52:43 you have beautiful eyes? I know. I was like, oh, okay. Thank you. And then I don't really remember what happened from there after that conversation, but I remember going home and then we decided maybe like a week or so later that he wanted to catch up again. So I was like, okay, maybe he was just a bit nervous.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Give it another go kind of thing. Oh, no. Okay. So I should mention that that night while we were at the beach, I spent $40 on fish and chips for us, which we sat and ate in my Swift. Oh, the Swift. Okay. It was Riley. And then, so this other time, I drove up to where he was living,
Starting point is 00:53:21 which happened to be Palmerston North, and we went to like a food thing, festival thing there, which was strange anyway because his family had a food stall there, but we weren't allowed to go over there because he wasn't sure his papa would agree with having me there, which was strange, but okay.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Okay, strike two, that is. Strike two? Strike three, we went to the, actually, strike three, we went to the botanical gardens for a walk Around the river and he asked Me like why are you you know like why are you Single like why did you go on a date with me Like how do you not have a boyfriend and I kind
Starting point is 00:53:54 Of said well I've been working on myself And he said oh I'm actually Single because my girlfriend Moved away about eight months ago and I'm Would still probably still be together if she was Here but yeah I thought it was time to try something new he is the king of self-sabotage I'm digging this approach okay time to try something new yeah I know what does that mean and so was that you were like I'm pulling the pin on this yeah so I pretty much like I was like oh
Starting point is 00:54:24 yep cool so we left the day I'm not I'm not nasty so on this. Yeah, so I pretty much like, I was like, oh, yeah, cool. So we left the day. I'm not nasty. So I was lovely, of course, and passing. And then we left. Yeah. But he messaged me again a few days later, like, you know, hey, how are you? Kind of thing. And I was quite vague.
Starting point is 00:54:35 But he wanted to catch up one more time. Bless him. And he came down and I said, look, it's nice to see you, but I'm not really interested in taking it any further. And then he cried in my car while I asked him to leave. Oh, no. He's just not a very good communicator. If you're listening right now, God, you're a lovely boy, but crocky. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Oh, dude. Oh, my dude. I'm so sorry. He must have quite liked you then. Yeah, he must have. And I, sweetheart, honestly. He really liked you, but why didn't he say that? Yeah, like, you were already in my car for the date, so don't tell me that you weren't actually attracted to me at the first place.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Oh. Well, Tony, how much money do you think you spent? How much would you like to claim back? I would like to claim back $70, $40 for the fish and chips and $30 for the gas I spent driving to Palmy to be in the whole thing. Alright, okay. Do they still do that
Starting point is 00:55:37 $5 departure fee in Palmy? You don't want to claim for that too, or is that just the airport ages ago? That was just the airport ages ago. We'll leave the $5 and we'll leave it flat. Yeah, no, they used to do that, but they don't want to claim for that too? Or is that just the airport ages ago? That was just the airport ages ago. And they justified it. We'll leave the five and we'll leave it flat. Yeah, no, they used to do that, but they don't do it anymore. I didn't know if you had to pay it with the car still.
Starting point is 00:55:53 I haven't been out of Palm before a while. No, I don't think so. Okay. All right. Well, let's put that into the date refund. Still running the $3,000 model? Still running the $3,000, yeah. Your date refund request has been... Accepted.

Starting point is 00:57:55 No, those are running short lengths, right? Running shorts of, like, five inches. Do they have an inner mesh to stop things popping out? Yeah, well, I hope so. Or I guess you just wear a jock. They're very short, Fergus. I think we've actually been, Fergus has gone quiet there. He doesn't like this line of questions.

Starting point is 00:58:54 Next on the show, I want to talk about what you've got a his and hers of. Pretty cute. We've got, Sade and I have a his and hers something. I told you, he's taken over me and Andrew. You guys are the grossest couple on the show now. Yeah, because now you've got to focus on children, and we've done that. Ours are moving out of home soon.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Next week, I'm kicking them out. I'm like, nine and seven seems old enough. You're on your own now. All right, we'll go delve into that next. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Made another click and collect on Friday. I may have a problem. I did two.
Starting point is 00:59:27 I did two Mighty 10 click and collects in one day. You sounded like you were going to say three. Well, no, I did one on Thursday. But then I did two on Friday. But I had an 11 and then a 130. So I rang up and I said, I hate to be this guy, but can I just come once and pick up everything at 11? And they were like, what was the other time?
Starting point is 00:59:43 I was like, 130. And they're like, no, because that's pushing something earlier. And I was like, ah, worth a try. Can I pick them all up at 1? And the girl was like, yeah, that's much easier. We can make that work. Right. Hate to be that guy, but I will be that guy.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Hate to be that guy, but I'm that guy. Hate to be that guy, but here I am being that guy. Well, one of the things I picked up were, you may have heard us talking about this. When were we talking about the weed pulling? Oh, God. That was a month ago. No! Three weeks ago.
Starting point is 01:00:11 No, it was the start of last week, wasn't it? Or two weeks? No, it was longer than that. Two weeks ago. What a time, man. The times become irrelevant. Yeah. Times become irrelevant. So, Sade enjoyed it and it's one of the few, like, yard chores I've found that she enjoys.
Starting point is 01:00:27 So I bought us his and her weed pullers. Oh, my God. Now, this was a tool you inserted into the ground. You find the prongs? Like a dock is a great example of it. A tap root. Yeah. And the root goes down.
Starting point is 01:00:44 So this thing, you find the middle and you push it down. And then when you lean it back, it closes the prongs down in the ground. And then when you rock it back, it just plucks it out. It's like pimple popping. It's like Dr. Pimple Popper, but in your backyard and not your skin. Yeah. And you're stabbing it. And then you have a little, oh, look how much of this one I got.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Right. It's just like a little weed and then it's got this long root and then you kind of stand around for a while looking at it and be like, look at that. And then you chuck it in the bucket and then you find the next one. So she saw you doing this and got very excited. She's like, can I have a turn? I was like, oh, this isn't for everybody.
Starting point is 01:01:23 And then she did it and she got it out. I was like, you're a natural. Yeah. And she was like, oh, this isn't for everybody. And then she did it and she got it out. I was like, you're a natural. Yeah. And she was like, this is quite satisfying. And what do you call it? Like calming, there's a word where you like do the sand raking. Meditating. Meditative.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Meditative? Cathartic. Cathartic. All of these things. Yeah, right. And so I was like, well, I'm going to pounce on this opportunity. So I got her one. So now we've got his and hers weed pullers. And so I was like, well, I'm going to pounce on this opportunity. So I got her one. So now we've got his and hers weed pullers.
Starting point is 01:01:48 And I gave her the new one. Foreplay looks a lot different in your house. It's plucking weeds out the lawn. And so did you all go out on the lawn and you did a his and hers weed? Yep. Oh, my God. And we did that thing where she got the longest taproot of the day. Right. Right.
Starting point is 01:02:06 Okay. And she got the most unexpected taproot of the day. That was where it was just a little weed on top, but when the taproot came out, it was really long. Oh, that would be exciting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's unexpected. Like an iceberg.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Yeah. It's like an iceberg. In fact, that's what we'll call the trophy from now on. The iceberg award. What are you having a trophy? Well, we just have awards. We talk about like... Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Yeah, I got... I think I got... You two both need to get out more. Multi-route of the day. Like, because you stabbed in a one, but then ended up getting two out at the same time with long... I do want to play with this
Starting point is 01:02:39 next time I come over. It does sound very fun. It is fun. But it's a bit funny. Have you got specific ones for her and for you? Or are they just both the same? Mine's older. So she gets a flash new one. No, hers isn't
Starting point is 01:02:51 pink. They're exactly the same. But you're right. We could flare it up. Yep. We could personalise it. Maybe, you know those old, we used to get those old stickers that were letters and you'd put the letter on and then you'd rub it. Oh, you remember those. And then you'd peel it off and it would leave the letter on there. It's actually a great idea.
Starting point is 01:03:07 I might pick up some of that. That sounds like another click and click. Labelling our weed pullers. Anything to pass the lockdown days. But we've got his and hers. Right. We've got his and hers weed pullers. Just that sentence, does that make you...
Starting point is 01:03:21 So that's like what I want to talk about now. What in your couple do you have a his and hers? It's the same. So you've both got one. Right. Like his and hers, do you do his and hers knitting maybe on the couch? I feel like that's where you guys are going next. But then you would say we have a his and hers knitting needles.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Yeah, exactly. His and hers knitting needles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you have any his and hers? I mean, I'm sure we do. I can't think of anything quite as sexy as the weed pullers. I mean, I've set the bar very high. Usually we come in sort of mid-ground.
Starting point is 01:03:59 We take some better calls, some lesser calls. I'll go home and I'll float the idea of maybe a his and her weed puller. We could do that to pass the time. You could definitely do that. You've got total of a garden. Yeah. I don't think we've got any of those big dock situations. In the grass, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:14 Well, no, that's the thing. Anything, you can pull out any weeds with these. And that's the thing. You can start going around parks when you run out of weeds. Oh, my God. His and hers. That's a joke. And he's like, oh, my God, yes. Yeah, no, it's not a joke. Because then afterwards we went out It's a joke and he's like, oh my God, yes.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Yeah, no, it's not a joke. Because then afterwards we went out into the paddock and Shadow's like, there's some out here. I was like, should we get the his and hers weed pullers? And she's like, I think we should save it for another day. I was like, yeah, right. Who knows how long we're going to be in this weird state of lockdown. Probably do our paddocks and then just start doing the roadside.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Alright, well, is there something that you do as a couple, his and hers? We'd love to hear from you this morning. 0800 DARS at M. You can text as well 9696. Talking about his and hers. The matching items that you have at

Starting point is 01:06:51 Hi there. How are you guys? Good. Yeah, we've got his and his sides of the toaster. Oh, what side's your side? It's always the left-hand side, and his is the right-hand side because he does not give one hoot about what his toast looks like, whereas I am a perfectionist about how I like my toast cooked.
Starting point is 01:07:12 And I want to teach our son how to do it properly. Right. Wait, so you can cook the sides individually or the left-hand side just cooks it better than the right? I just have mine set to three and a half. He could have his set to three and a half. He could have his set to six and would still eat it. He could have it set to one and still eat it.
Starting point is 01:07:31 I can't deal with that kind of chaos. You've got chill temperature controls. Yes. Oh, that's fancy, isn't it? I thought it was one control for all holes. Slots. What would you call them? A slot or a hole? A toaster hole.
Starting point is 01:07:47 A toaster slot. I guess a slot, yeah. Yeah, a slot sounds better. Well, a hole to me is circular, but a slot indicates dimensionally. No, but a hole can be rectangular. Oh, 100%. But not as much as a slot. Like you think about a grave hole. That's rectangular.
Starting point is 01:08:03 Or a grave plot. I wouldn't call it a grave hole or is it a toaster plot all right guys gather around it's time to get buried it's trying to lower nana into the grave hole what are you putting nana into the grave slot digging the grave but it's just saying it's a rectangle and it's a hole. I don't think I'd call it a hole. I think you're on your own with this. Either way, thank you, Olivia, for your Hazenhurst toaster. Into the grave, yeah. Into the grave, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Slot. I now want to call it a grave slot. We've got Hazenhurst peanut butter. Crunchy for him, smooth for me. Yeah, maybe we should do that. I like the smooth.

Outside of Fish and Chip Shop at the weekend, I saw some footwear and I said, those are wacky looking Crocs to my friend. And they said, those are Yeezys. And I was like, those are the ugliest things I've seen in my life. Those are the dumbest, dumbest shoes. And I said it loud enough so the guy wearing them could hear them. I was like, how much are those cost?

Starting point is 01:11:09 because my husband was not cleaning his paint brush and roller properly. So he'd be buggering about painting his cleaning rollers. Cleaning it afterwards. Where is all that paint hiding? Yeah, I know. You just get under the tap and it keeps coming. And you roll it out and it's more. And then it's clean. And then you shake it. And then it's like, oh, I've got some more in here.
Starting point is 01:11:29 Sorry, I forgot what you were trying to claim me. I've been holding on to this. I just chucked them out and put a new one on. And that's what I've always said. You're all about the environment. Yeah, thanks. We've got his and hers bedroom toys. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:11:43 Like he's got Monopoly and she's got Cluedo. Yeah. And they've got a shared connect for. You don't want to get stuck in that. His and hers tomato sauce. I have Waddy's, he has Heinz. Oh, that's controversial. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Well, one's ketchup, right? And one's sauce. Tom's sauce. Yeah. Very controversial. CDM's Fletchborn and Megan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. You may remember on Friday I was going to do a fact of the day,
Starting point is 01:12:25 but then I got a little sidetracked by a fact sent in by a friend of the show. Moikalo Hagen. Yeah, I do remember. I heard from Moikalo Hagen at the weekend. He said he was listening to the podcast while driving the tractor, and he heard his name, and he was like, that's a bit neat. And then he heard it again, and he was like, that's pretty cool. And then he heard it again, and he was like, oh.
Starting point is 01:12:46 And then again, and he was like, that's pretty cool, and then he heard it again, and he was like, oh, and then again, and he was like, hmm. And then he heard it by the end, he was like. Even Michael O'Hagan was like that. Even Michael O'Hagan had had a bloody guts full of this cayenne. It was all for you, Michael O'Hagan. Well, this is the effect that I was going to use on Friday before I used Michael O'Hagan's fuck to the D. It's about contra-rotating
Starting point is 01:13:06 thumbs. Now to participate, this is a participatory fact of the day. People have a favourite one. I need you to interlock your fingers. And then, you know, like twiddling your thumbs where you're chasing your thumbs around each other. Like you're going to play Pinnacle with yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Now this is called contra-rotation of thumbs. Okay. If you can do this, your left side of your brain and your right side of your brain, you've got a good connection. If you've never practiced that, this is something.
Starting point is 01:13:34 It's like patting your head and rubbing your tummy. If you practice at it, you can do it. Yeah. But then, you know when you're patting your head and you're rubbing your tummy? Yeah. Doing it. What? you're rubbing your tummy? Yeah. Doing it. What?
Starting point is 01:13:48 You're rubbing your head. What are you doing? You're rubbing your head and your tummy. Can you do it or are you just being silly? No, you're... I went to go pat my head. You can only do both patting and rubbing. So if you pat and rub and then quickly switch,
Starting point is 01:14:02 and can you pat and rub with the other hand? No, because I just go, I rub my head. He just pats or rubs. I can't do it. But practice. If you practice it, you'll be able to do it. I'll do it later. I'll practice later.
Starting point is 01:14:12 I've got better things to do. Well, you've just been made to look like a rat. Yeah, haven't I? So this is the same with corneal rotating thumbs. Okay. So get one thumb, the outside thumb, whichever it be, the left and the right, going one way. Say forward, goes down at the front, then comes up at the back. Okay. So get your get one thumb, the outside thumb, whichever it be, the left and the right, going one way. Say forward, goes
Starting point is 01:14:27 down at the front, then comes up at the back. Yep. Now get the other thumb going the other way on the inside. It's very, very hard to do. And if you can start... I can do that. No, no, no, those are going the same way. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, right. One goes like this, forward,
Starting point is 01:14:44 and one goes backwards. But then they go on the way of each other. No, they don't, because you just... Oh, forward, and one goes backwards. But then they go in the way of each other. No, they don't because you just do it. Oh, my God, that's so hard. It's really, really hard to do. You can get it with practice. Forward, forward, forward. If you can start them doing it, chances are they will naturally
Starting point is 01:14:58 start going the same way about half a turn in. Yeah, they do. It's called inexplicable synchronisation. Huh. Go the other way, Dick. We're not strangers. Okay, you do that. Don't be hard on yourself.
Starting point is 01:15:14 You do that. Stop it! And you get really angry at one thumb. That started one way but started doing the other. Yeah. So there's something you guys can all practise today. If you're stuck in level 3.4878714. Or you just want to waste some time at work today.
Starting point is 01:15:32 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then if the boss is like, what are you doing? Waste your time doing that. Saying, well, I'm actually trying to link the sides of my brain to become a more efficient worker. Yeah. Is that it? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:15:44 I don't know what that was. It was kind of like watching a kid ride a bike and knowing they're going to hit a bush or something. Yeah. Is that it? I don't know. I don't know what that was. It was kind of like watching a kid ride a bike and knowing they're going to hit a bush or something. It was alright. So today's fact of the day is if you can contra-rotate your thumbs, you got a good little brain linkage there, buddy. Fact of the

As a regular Tinder user. God, I missed that. You did, you missed it. Tinder came up after you met your wife. No, I missed that, like where you sit
Starting point is 01:16:47 around with a single friend and you go through all their Tinder options. Oh, you love doing that. Yeah. Orn loves doing that.

Starting point is 01:17:20 this is going to be full of different sorts of features. Right. Different ways of finding people, different criteria and stuff. But plus one is specifically about finding someone to come with you to a wedding. Like if you are friends with people, good enough friends, that they're going to give you a plus one just without knowing them, then you can use this feature if you don't have a plus one
Starting point is 01:17:47 to find a plus one so it'll say where the wedding's going like what kind of wedding date you're after are you after like someone who's casual or someone who dresses very smartly is it somebody who's just gonna like be a wallflower at the wedding
Starting point is 01:18:00 or do you want someone that's gonna be you know engaging people with their special brand of chat? As a wedding guest, this would be very exciting to witness. Somebody bringing
Starting point is 01:18:10 a Tinder Plus One that they hardly knew to a wedding. I would find this so entertaining. Like, could you imagine it? And also, they're not going to be
Starting point is 01:18:21 known to anyone. So the first question is like, oh, how did you guys meet? Like, give that story on your relationship. You have to make something up, right? You wouldn't say I just met them on Tinder last week. Tinder plus one. It's my Tinder plus one.

You're in the dark here, yeah. But there was one called Vibes, where it sounds like the voice version of dating. Like you get matched with them more on their vibe
Starting point is 01:18:56 than your immediate look. Right. So you'd be like, my vibe is nature. And then other people who have selected nature as their vibe, you get matched with them. But then are you nature I like going for walks and hikes in nature
Starting point is 01:19:12 to see unseen vistas or nature as in I don't wear deodorant. Like which one? And then there's two. Yeah, that's why you've got to work it out. And each one very much
Starting point is 01:19:23 entitled to whatever they want to do but maybe not as cohesive. Well there's two. Yeah, that's why you've got to work it out.

Starting point is 01:20:48 It's the tip of the building. Yeah, because, you know, they put those needles on the top to make it longer. Well, the Empire State Building, do you know that was supposed to be an airship port? What was that? They were going to be able to dock blimps and stuff there and unload people at the observation deck. And that was what that was for. I'm going to say the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower. And it would be...

Starting point is 01:22:20 Came out and said that, yes, humping is dry humping. Dry humping is not great. Dry humping is not great. Dry humping is not a COVID-friendly activity outside of your bubble. I can say that with some certainty. Some certainty. Wow. Well, I'm going to take that piece of information, and you can use that to your advantage.
Starting point is 01:22:37 You could, you know, to someone in your bubble proposition a dry hump because you've just heard that there's something you're allowed to do within your bubble. They're in your bubble. proposition a dry hump because you've just said that there's something you're allowed to do within your bubble. They're in your bubble. It's been a while between dry humps for this fellow. So there was
Starting point is 01:22:55 this big douchebag party full of douchebags breaking the rules which this sort of thing is only going to make it longer and worse for all of us so yes, we should all be fairly disappointed at this bunch of people who considered themselves above make it longer and worse for all of us. So, yes, we should all be fairly disappointed at this bunch of people who considered themselves above the rules and better than the rest of us. But what were you...
Starting point is 01:23:10 Like, you know you're breaking the rules, and I'm not condoning it, but why put it on social media? I know. Because you think you're above the rules. You're so dumb. You're from such a position of privilege and arrogance that you think you're above the rules that everybody else is adhering to.
Starting point is 01:23:26 Yeah. Idiots. Well, some of them have come out and apologised. Yeah. And said, maybe don't give us death threats. Well, no, because you've threatened death upon yourself, basically, by flouting the rules against the... Yeah.

Yeah, take away their TikTok. Yeah, no, some of them have deleted their... Yeah, because of the death threats. A couple of them, though. That should be the punishment.
Starting point is 01:24:00 You don't have to look too hard online to find out their backup accounts. I mean, that would be completely up to you if you wanted to have a look for that sort of thing. But yeah, that would be a good punishment. Yeah, you're not allowed to use Instagram. TikTok. Imagine. You'd be like, hey, Maggie. Who was it?
