Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's thanks to McCafe, barista made coffee available from drive-thru and McDelivery at level 3 and also dine-in at level 2. We'll start today's podcast with some correspondence that I received from Brian. Oh, okay. We've met Brian, he came in.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Brian from America. Yep, he's a flight attendant. And he said, tell Vaughn, I was catching up on the podcast the other day, and Vaughn asked how flight attendants, on average, how many steps they do. Yes, they did. Well, how did we get onto that again? Emirates was looking for 3,000 new people. And I said that you'd close your standing rings.
Starting point is 00:00:43 And then I was like, how many steps do you reckon they take? I reckon it's more than usual because you know if you clean the house yeah it's just a lot of little steps they all add up guys it all adds up so Brian said he's obviously got a smart watch I'd say an apple watch uh because he seems like an apple watch kind of guy uh and he said uh I do tell when I do three miles a day so 4.8383km on a narrowbody. That's like a single aisle plane, like a short distance flight, I'd say. And on a widebody long haul, he does eight miles during the flight, so that's 12.87km. That makes so much difference between a widebody and a shortbody. I guess you've got to go up one side of the plane, down the other side. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:24 And I guess it's also a long haul flight, so it could be like 12, 13 hours, so you're up and down, up and down. Wow. Isn't that crazy? Wow. So how many miles? By the way, eight miles. Americans, would you just get kilometres, please?
Starting point is 00:01:38 I know. They're the only ones. Come on, guys. The only ones. Come on, guys. Them and another country that do miles, right? Yeah. I think even Britain's country that do miles, right? Yeah. I think even Britain's chucked it in, eh?
Starting point is 00:01:47 Like, they mostly know their miles, but their official measurement is. Yeah, yeah. They're just stubborn, though. If you were a country and someone was telling you to get on board with everything, you'd be like, oh. I'd absolutely tell them not to. I'd refuse to. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Right. Well, what's this? I don't know. Countries that measure in miles. Liberia. Myanmar. The UK and the US. Myanmar.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Myanmar. The UK doesn't anymore, do they? No, I think they. They're kilometers. Yeah. Most countries abandon the mile and switch to the metric system. It's a good system, guys. It's a good system.
Starting point is 00:02:19 I like it. It's a good system, guys. I like drinking a liter. Of what? Anything. Jesus, that's a lot, though guys. I like drinking a litre. Of what? Anything. Jesus, that's a lot, though. Unless it's water. Anything else that you're drinking a litre of is a lot.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Gin. Yeah, gin. Even fizzy drink. That's a lot. But it's better than saying four ounces. Or I drank a gallon. That's like four and a half litres. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Fleetspawn and Megan, two minutes past six. Happy Tours Day. Happy Tours Day. Happy Tours Day. What have you shaved there? Um... I don't know how to describe this one. It's kind of like...
Starting point is 00:03:02 You've got a full beard, but the chin's missing. The chin's gone. I don't think the mouth's gone. It's like a like... You've got a full beard, but the chin's missing. The chin's gone. I don't think the mouth's gone. It's like a reverse goatee. Goatee, yeah. Yep, the old reverse goatee. The old Irish pub owner. Not that it's about me, but it's not my favourite.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Nah, it's not my favourite either. Are you just running through a whole lot of different ones for the filming of have you been paying attention? Yeah, pretty much. Okay. Yeah, pretty much. Right. Yeah. How was this received?
Starting point is 00:03:27 Angela Dravid said I looked like a ventriloquist dummy. I thought that was pretty apt, actually. Yeah. How does the wife like it? Ah, hates it. Yeah. With a passion. Hates it with a passion.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah. Did you get emailed new QR codes yesterday by the government? No. Why? Why would I? I got new QR codes yesterday by the government? No. Why? Why would I? I got new QR codes yesterday. Oh, for your business. For my business.
Starting point is 00:03:49 For my business. For my business. For my business. For my business. For my business. For my business. For my business. For my business.
Starting point is 00:03:49 For my business. For my business. Yeah. Because remember I made the... You made a t-shirt. Yeah. Yeah. So people could scan in on you.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Yeah. So why did you get a new code? I don't know. The government just sent me some new QR codes. Said, here you go, chap. Is it maybe because you haven't been scanning in, like you applied for them and they're like... No, apparently everybody got new ones yesterday too. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:09 But no explanation. It's been over a year since most organisations got their QR code posters. We're sending you a fresh version of the poster and an alternate option that is quite a new look. You can display either or both of these images. And the only difference is that it's the standard QR code we've all come to know with checking in. And then one that says IQR code New Zealand. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Yeah, I thought the QR code would be in the shape of a heart, but no, it's just a square. It's IQR code New Zealand. Good to see when I was walking around central Auckland yesterday, good to see a hum in the city. Construction workers back, everybody supporting their local businesses. It was great stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Good to see people laughing and smiling. Yeah, I couldn't get over how busy the motorway was. It was nice. It's just sad that that's something you notice. I see tall people smiling and laughing in the street. And talking to each other again. It was nice. And the return of rubbish. Yeah. You sent out a couple of photos of people just dropping their rubbish in and laughing in the street. And talking to each other again. It was nice. And the return of rubbish.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Yeah. You see a couple of photos of people just dropping their rubbish in the middle of the street. Oh, nature is recovering. Yeah. Humans have returned. Next on the show, speaking of the lines of people that went out for coffee and takeaway yesterday, there's a website that helps. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah. Many people last night would have found themselves in quite the queue for takeaways. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Time in the Line was a website that popped up when vaccination stations were opened and we really started hauling ass on vaccines. Yeah, testing as well.
Starting point is 00:05:39 A lot of line for the testing back in the early days. That's right. And supermarkets popped up over the last lockdown. So time on the line could tell you how long. It was user generated, so you had to be there and say how long you'd waited in the line to give other people a general indication. Testing started at supermarkets for vaccinations. I'm looking now that takeaways have been added.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Good stuff. Takeaways have been added. I can't see Any reports Though I've highlighted Takeaways And I'm scrolling Around the map I mean there shouldn't
Starting point is 00:06:09 Be a line at this time I was going to say I thought there might be Little markers Indicating where they are Yeah this would have Been good to know Yesterday
Starting point is 00:06:16 Because I went past A few places And saw lines Snaking around the corner But do you think Today it'll be the same It'll be chilled out A little bit
Starting point is 00:06:24 It'll be calmed down A wee bit. Maybe. Did you do takeaways last night? I didn't. Did you? We did fish and chips and it was yuck. That's disappointing. I know. I said to Shade, I said, this does not compare at all
Starting point is 00:06:38 to the feasts we've been preparing ourselves. What was bad about it? Fish and chips feels like a real jump in the deep end. But it was like everywhere else was crazy. Right. So we were just like, oh, we'll just go the local fish and chipper.
Starting point is 00:06:53 And I don't know what exactly went wrong. Maybe not enough salt. You know, sometimes it can be as simple as that. I'm sure your local would love to hear. Broke the takeaway hiatus yesterday on some fish and chips. Not to my liking.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I'd love to see some stats on how much money was spent yesterday on takeaways and coffee. Oh, my God. Even just on coffee. Yeah. There was a story in the news just then that card spending's almost back to pre-doubter levels. So, yeah, I think we do. Given that no retail shops are open. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Yeah, I think we might have. All right, ten past six. Next, there is a fear of people who are going back to work. What is their biggest fear? It's a bit silly. Is it COVID, catching COVID? No, actually. It's not.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Maybe it should be, but it's not. So there's a lot of people going back to work, even in New Zealand. Maybe not at level three, but eventually level two, people will be going back. People have all around the country, outside of Auckland. In the UK, this study was done, and their biggest fear about going back to work was revealed. It could have been about catching COVID, but it's not. Was it what people would think of them because they were put on a little bit of lockdown weight in the last year? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Don't look at me when you say that. I didn't look at you. I looked at nobody. I looked at the ground. The computer's free. Just be really careful where you look. No, it was I'm going to the bathroom to take a poo. Was their biggest fear about going back to work. It is horrible having to use any work communal bathroom, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:08:36 If you're doing a number two and then someone comes in and you're like, do I just wait? Yeah. You don't do that. Don't pause yourself. Yeah. But then you've also got to stay in there till they leave or you've got to time your exit to know that they're still locked in doing their business.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Yeah. 53% of people who are asked said that they would leave their work to go poo somewhere else. Where? Like drive home or like a public toilet. Home I can understand, but I would not leave this work toilet to go to a public toilet. No.
Starting point is 00:09:06 As gross as it is, public toilets are so much worse. Yeah, public are way worse. Unless you live in, um, Kowakawaka, is that up north? Oh, those. Und uns fassen schniggenschlagen. Oh, yeah, I've been in those, um, yeah. Und schniggenschlagen, schniggenschlagen, schniggenschlagen. It's a hundenschwasen.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Wasn't he Dutch? I came all the way from... Was he Dutch? That was me being Dutch. Angry Dutch. That's how you speak German, just be angry Dutch. Hundenwaschen. He got buried in a neck curtain.
Starting point is 00:09:42 True story. Are you being offensive? No, they wrapped him in a, he didn't want to, his coffin to have any, he wanted to break down into nothing. So he didn't want to be buried in a coffin.
Starting point is 00:09:52 They wrapped him in some hessian. Not hessian. Muslin cloth. Oh, yeah. Am I saying that right? I always say that word wrong. Muslin.
Starting point is 00:10:02 That's right. Muslin cloth. Muslin. Okay. Austrian. He was Austrian. Muslim cloth. Muslim. Okay. Austrian. He was Austrian. So you were bang on. Yeah, pretty good with that one.
Starting point is 00:10:10 With your fluent German there. Yeah. Yeah. Send our Uber toilet. Oh, my God. Mein Puppi schlagen guggen time. They always sound angry. The train runs right through town.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Disturbing mein poopy. Disturbing mein poopy. Poopy. Okay. Because he's taken a German for pooping. On the way north. We've a must go over stop! Okay, well just, yeah, that's great.
Starting point is 00:10:48 To do the toilet! And the hunden waschen toilet! Achtung! Achtung! Okay, apologies to any German listeners. Jawohl! Jawohl, kommen wir an. Hogen!
Starting point is 00:11:08 Oh, okay. Next on the show Family Guy has done a PSA You come out of the toilet and it smells And you go, I know nothing, nothing That is a retro throwback To Hogan's Heroes Hogan's Heroes before the news After school, yeah Wasn't familiar with Seth MacFarlane's take on,
Starting point is 00:11:27 this is a creator of Family Guy and American Dad, and you know Seth MacFarlane. He does all the voices. He's the voice guy. Well, he has put together a vaccine PSA. Right. Using well-known Family Guy characters that he voices to try to convince people there's nothing to be scared of
Starting point is 00:11:48 and we should all get vaccinated. When you said you didn't know his take on things, did you think he'd be an anti-vaxxer? No, no, no. It's just like a lot of thing. I don't really think about it. I don't think, oh, I wonder what a specific person's take on this is. Like I wonder if Snoop
Starting point is 00:12:06 Dogg's an anti-vaxxer. Surely. I wonder if... Yeah. Snoop. But he's very outspoken. Seth MacFarlane's very outspoken. Oh, yeah. He's been very outspoken like politically and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I always thought he'd be pro-vaccine. Yeah. Well, Snoop Dogg did
Starting point is 00:12:21 an official message for the Californian Public Health Authority. Oh, okay. So he's pro. Yeah. He's all about it. Yeah. Well, Snoop Dogg did an official message for the Californian Public Health Authority. Oh, okay. So he's pro. Yeah. He's all about it. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Well, that was him convincing people to stay home. I would have to do further investigations to see whether or not he draws the line at vaccines or not. Right. Right. Well, as New Zealanders, we're all, I think, what, 70-something percent of us have had at least one dose? Yeah. So we're getting close to 40% two doses. You can just walk into any of your local places,
Starting point is 00:12:50 basically, by the sounds of it now. I mean, a lot of places do the bookings, but I don't think they're turning anyone away, are they? No. So you can get on the COVID booking website. But your family guy, Seth MacFarlane, has done a PSA. He's done a PSA explaining how it works. It's all animated. You can find it online. It's an interesting
Starting point is 00:13:08 watch. It is both humorous and educational. I think they call that edutainment. Edutainment. Yeah. Is it edutainment? It's not infotainment, is it? It might be infotainment. Yeah, because it's info-edutainment. Yeah. Sure. Vaccines have been around for hundreds
Starting point is 00:13:24 of years. They help eliminate smallpox from the face of the earth, and they're well on the way to doing the same with polio. Those were once devastating diseases, you understand, and now, thanks to vaccines, you don't even have to worry about them. Vaccines protect us from illnesses by activating our immune response without the danger of actual infection, thereby training the body to fight off the real thing. All right, well, what Peter might ask is, what if the vaccine makes him sick?
Starting point is 00:13:47 The common side effects from the COVID vaccines are generally mild and last a few days. But do you know what can have serious long-term side effects? COVID. They made Meg the virus. They made Meg COVID. And then it mutated and it was really ugly Meg. That's why I don't like being called Meg. No one call me Meg.
Starting point is 00:14:07 It's Megan. Megan Vestalian. Yes! You can find the full clip. It's like three minutes long on the Family Guy socials. Play ZM's Fleshphone and Megan. We would absolutely know better than this, but two men stumbled upon a car
Starting point is 00:14:23 and on the side of it, it said free car. I'd say, what's the catch? I'd say who's filming this? Yeah, what kind of car is it? Yeah, what TV show am I going to be on? I would have looked around for cameras. But the keys were in it so they were like, okay. They took it away
Starting point is 00:14:40 with them and they drove it to a family member's house. It doesn't say who the family member was or anything. It was only once they got it there, they decided to do a quick wee peek around the car. Okay. They opened the boot of the car and there was a body in there. Oh! A human one?
Starting point is 00:15:01 See, there was a cat. Dead? Yes. So there was a man's corpse inside. Because if it was the body of a chicken, but it was hot and cooked, then, you know, like you've got a free car and a free hot chicken. And a free rotisserie chicken. This would be the start of like a true crime though,
Starting point is 00:15:15 because so the man, he was 34 years old. He was found naked. There's no signs of any. Wait, so it's not a young white female. No. Not interested Karlyn you'll be out Anna you won't want to solve this case It's just a little ongoing joke here at work

Starting point is 00:21:26 ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. We always see like pat photos of singers and superstars wearing like spits of clothes and you can only dream of wearing the same thing. But Olivia Rodrigo has been pictured wearing a corset top from Glassons. New Zealand store Glassons. New Zealand chain store.
Starting point is 00:21:46 How did she get this top? She has stylists and they source most of her clothes. So somehow they must have tapped into it and thought, yep. This would be like Harry Styles pictured wearing some Helen Stein's chinos or something.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Yeah. I think he'd go for the whole, you know, got the whole suit deal for 200 bucks. Yeah. You just cannot go past that. Usually decked head to toe on Gucci, but today.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just Helen Stein's. Yeah. To the house of G. Yeah. To the house of H. Because nobody in the UK or America knows Helen Stein's
Starting point is 00:22:22 or Glassons. No. So they might just think it's some boutique store. Yeah. It's $35. So I mean, if you want to look like
Starting point is 00:22:31 Olivia Rodrigo, you can. If I put that on, I don't think I'd look like Olivia Rodrigo. You'd still look like Vaughn. Yeah, just in a way
Starting point is 00:22:39 as Vaughn wearing that top from Glassons. Yeah. But apparently, Glassons has got a bit of a name for itself on TikTok. And at the social media, there's Carl Wayne.
Starting point is 00:22:52 You've got the screen time of a 13-year-old TikTok addict. That's actually a fair call. Yeah, that is. I speak the truth. Have you noticed this? Yeah, so a lot of girls, like, in America are doing Glasson's hauls. So it became a thing to do Shein hauls and show what you bought. Now they're doing Glasson's hauls.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Oh, hauls. As in your haul of goodies. Yeah. Buy a bunch of stuff and then do a little fashion show. Um, I didn't know that Glasson's ship worldwide. Neither did I, but apparently they do. And everyone loves it. They're like, this is amazing.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I wish they were in our cities. What? Really? Yeah. It's like our own little top shop, kind of. Yeah. And the world is just being introduced to it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:23:35 That's pretty cool. That's pretty wild, eh? I had no idea. And now I'd say given even more of a boost because Olivia Rodrigo is wearing it. I've got to go. I'm just, you've sent through the link to this top. Yeah. Which is called a lace bustier, bustier, corset top.
Starting point is 00:23:52 We'll throw to Megan for the pronunciation of this. Bustier, bustier. Yeah, that's bustier. Bustier. Yep. Comes in portobello or milk. Portobello like the mushroom, like a brown. Like a light, fawny brown.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Yeah. Okay. So the model is wearing a brown. Like a light, fawny brown. Yeah. Okay. So the model is wearing a pair of high-waisted jeans. Yep. And instead of wearing a belt, she's got them turned over. Oh, yeah. Is that fashion? Is that in fashion?
Starting point is 00:24:17 No belt, turn the top over. Yep. Big trend. Big trend. Try it now. Well, I have to turn my belt off. Just look away. Tell us when you're ready.
Starting point is 00:24:25 No, you're not going to see anything. It's not a bloody peep show. So instead you just... Oh, look at that. Roll that over. But then you've got to pull them up. The high-waisted jeans become even more... You were looking very...
Starting point is 00:24:40 What do they call that? A moose knuckle or something. I think that's a moose knuckle. Yeah, that's what you've done there. It's a moose knuckle or something. I think that's a moose knuckle. Yeah, that's what you've done there. A moose knuckle. Yeah. Bloody elephant trotter. Okay, yeah, but she'll get one too.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Because it's high-waisted. And I'm just saying you're poor. She'll get, right. What? It sounded like, she'll get one too. Oh, no, I meant she'd get him some sort of like gooch-based tightness. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Okay, so that's a fashion. Yeah. Oh, well, there you go. Well, if it's good enough for Olivia Rodrigo. It's good enough for you. The House of G. We might see you in some House of G now, Megan. Excuse me, I have House of G.
Starting point is 00:25:21 That's not what you said before. Ditch the belt and fold in the top of your jeans, everybody. There you go. Well, the Hot Springs Spa T20 Tottenham Black Clash in association with Heartland is happening January 22. Tickets are
Starting point is 00:25:37 on sale now. And joining us on the phone from Team Cricket, Stephen Fleming. Hello. G'day, team. It's like our annual Stephen Fleming chat. Yeah. Isn't it? I'm a catch-up. It's a pleasure to have you.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I think when we signed off last year, I gave you a great sports chat, and you didn't take me at face value, so I felt bad about that. So if we can just correct that before we start. It was a very good sports chat. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, we did pride ourselves on our in-depth sports knowledge. I've completely forgotten that, but I love that that's been burning a hole in you, that you. Yeah, we didn't pride ourselves on our in-depth sports knowledge. I've completely forgotten that,
Starting point is 00:26:05 but I love that that's been burning a hole in you, that guilt. Yeah, 12 months of burn. Sorry, guys. That tells me a good sportsmanship, though, that you came out to apologise about that so much later. It's the New Zealand cricket wave. It's David at Reclaim Williamson. So, yeah, good sportsmanship.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Steady ship himself. Just before we get on to cricket, quick question about heat pumps. My one has, when I push the button, it's display. What do I push when it's in winter? Do I push the one that looks like a sun or do I push the one that looks like a snowflake?
Starting point is 00:26:39 Because I'm in winter, which is the snow season, but I want it to feel hot, which is the sun. Yeah, it's a really good question. A lot of people do get confused, but it is that my understanding, and it can vary from model to model, but it's that you want the ice in the summer and the heat in the winter. So that's, yeah, it's pretty high-tech stuff. Right, so the symbol is more indicative of the heat of the air
Starting point is 00:27:02 being pumped out of the Fujitsu heat pump. I would assume so. Look, I've been with the brand for about 22 years and it has changed over time, but I think right now that would be correct. Is that one of New Zealand's longest running endorsement deals? That's a long time.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I'm after the briskos, lady. I'm after that. Well, yeah, Jeremy Wells had to secede the Mercury Energy crown when he took the seven sharp gig, right? Yeah, Lee Hart's also a threat, but once you get your nose in front of the contract, it's very hard to get caught. That's Lee Hart and what the hell is meets.
Starting point is 00:27:38 I could see some kind of game here, a TV show, reality show, where all the endorsers, all the brand ambassadors are marooned on an island, maybe. Yeah, that would be a concept, wouldn't it? Celebrity brand ambassador, Treasure Island. We're going to have Dan with Chemist Warehouse coming in now.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Yeah, he's there through the days. We don't have to wait down at the stage. What you'd do on that island, what sort of challenge would you have to cross sell or what would you have to do? I think you'd probably have to promote your product to the native island dwellers.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Right, okay. I mean, you've got a great product that you want to pull down the huts. Yeah, yeah. I'm a fan. All right, well, let's talk cricket. This is a very popular game. I'm wondering why it only happens once a year.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Is it hard to get everybody lined up for that once-a-year appearance? Because I feel like this could be done at the start and the end of summer. Well, I think it takes a while for the old boys to recover, and I took my broken tie over the last couple of years from Izzy Diggs, so there's a little bit of a lag between getting back up to fitness. But sometimes when you oversaturate something, it loses its appeal. And when you look at why this was created, it was really to answer a question, sort of a high school question,
Starting point is 00:28:57 where people say, oh, he could have been a good rugby player or he would have been an all-black if he hadn't chosen cricket. So the reason it was set out to do was to prove it all wrong or prove that the myth was correct. So that's why it started. And it's just right. To be honest, the numbers we get each year are phenomenal. So you probably could put two on,
Starting point is 00:29:15 but the beauty of just having one off is that people look forward to it. And that's certainly been the case for the first three years. And those bloody Barretts are good at cricket, aren't they? Unfortunately, they are, aren't they? Yeah. But the other guy I'd ask is Will Jordan, who there's no surprise, he's so good on the rugby field. He said he made his debut last year and played very well.
Starting point is 00:29:35 So there is a growing list of players who I think are starting to sign up, which was good. There's a lot of young players come through who have that choice between sports. It's not just rugby and cricket either, but good athletes. So, yeah, it's great seeing what they can do and seeing them a little bit uncomfortable and also seeing them perform in front of people doing something
Starting point is 00:29:52 that they haven't trained that much to do. And it'll be in the Mount next year as well, moving from Christchurch? Yeah, there's been a debate these days as to where the home of cricket is. It used to be Christchurch and at Lincoln with the academy, but now there's a lot of black caps up in Cardinal.
Starting point is 00:30:07 So it's a good opportunity to take it up there and hopefully get the same type of support that we got on Christchurch and in Hickory as well because the crowds have been a big part of it. Well, thanks so much for joining us today to answer our cricket and heat pump questions. And, well, I look forward to seeing you knock the Briscoe's lady off that long-running ambassadorship. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I'm trying very hard, but I'm not making any ground, but thank you. All right, well, all the details at blackclash.co.nz. Thank you, Stephen. ZM's Flesh Warner Megan. Play ZM. I rang my parents last night, as I do, for a bit of a chit-chat. I rang mine too. Did you?
Starting point is 00:30:49 They both had their jabs. Oh, good. They were upset because they missed out. Taranaki did the, you might have seen this on the news last night, they did, as a bribe to get people along, bacon butty sandwiches. Oh, yeah. Did they not get their bacon butties? No, they went the day before the bacon butties.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Can you go back retrospectively and be like Hey That's a good question Did you get my bacon buddy? Take a friend Put it down How many rashes of bacon were they doing? I don't know
Starting point is 00:31:13 I feel like it would have been like shoulder bacon But it was Not streaky Not streaky Oh god I hate shoulder When people do shoulder bacon Oh yeah I don't get up at 4 or 5 in the morning
Starting point is 00:31:23 To eat shoulder bacon on the weekends. But good on them for doing the bacon buddies. Shoulder or streaky. Totally. Because they were one of the worst performing DHBs, the regions. Yeah, they were. If you're in the Naki. Well, I mean, it's no surprise it's the worst region of New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:31:41 That's my home region born. I will not have a bad word said. You're from Morrinsville. Shut up, Nelson. Nelson's doing the best. Nelson's doing very good with the chat. But I kind of like what Nelson did. They were like, right from the start,
Starting point is 00:31:52 they were like, no appointment, just come before or after work or whenever you want. Yeah. It's a very Nelson approach. It is. It's so laid back. Very Nelsonian. Well, it wasn't vaccination related.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Yeah. It was one of those, I was just chatting with mum. She was telling me about the dogs and how they've been chasing ducks and that. Yeah. And she's like, it's just in their nature. I was like, yeah, okay. And she's like, and then she went, can I tell him? Are you all right if I tell him?
Starting point is 00:32:20 And you hear dad go, yep. I was like, uh-oh. Your father's had a terrible day. And like, dad go, yep. I was like, uh-oh. Your father's had a terrible day. And like, dad's 65. So I'm like, is he dead? Well, I just heard him say he can't be dead. He's had a fall. He's had a fall.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Hey, he's having chest pains or something. And then I was like, I prepared myself for the worst. Yes, silly old bugger going up a ladder or whatever. But I was preparing myself for the worst, but it wasn't. She's like, well, he was cleaning out the sand traps. Now, Ed. I don't know what that is. Okay, so I'll explain it quickly.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Dairy farmers, when you're milking your cows and you've got to wash all the cow poo away, it goes into a sand trap and then it goes into a holding tank and then it either gets pumped to the effluent pond or gets pumped onto the paddock to make the grass grow. Is it like a sand bunker on a golf course? A little bit. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Both horrible things to get stuck in. So he cleaned that out and he's like, well, that was quicker than I thought. Maybe I'll give the old tank a clean out, which is the next stage of the cow poo wee water system. Okay. And he was leaning over to look into the hole to see how much was in there
Starting point is 00:33:22 and his phone fell out of his pocket and went into the poo pond. And I was like oh no he didn't go in after it did he because and mum's like yes he did when you say poo pond like how how deep are we well it's like a full 20 000 litre water tank full of and then in it, he emptied it down and apparently put a stick in and was like, oh, yeah, that's shallow enough now
Starting point is 00:33:49 that I'll be able to get it in my boots and it won't go over. Right. By the way, if you're listening in Morrinsville and you see my dad, you're not allowed
Starting point is 00:33:55 to talk to him about this. Because he'll go into the, he'll go into bloody Wrightson's or something and someone will be like, Ian, I hear that you'll be needing some new socks. Because the poo went over the boots and into it Wrightson's or something and someone will be like, Ian, I hear you'll be needing some new socks.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Because the poo went over the boot and into it and he's like, well, I'm in here now. This is a great advertorial for dairy farming in Korea, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Or just buttoning up the top pocket on your overalls. Yeah. So things don't fall out. So I got my dad, it's a Samsung overalls. Yeah. So things don't fall out. So I got my dad, it's a Samsung S10.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Yeah. It's a pretty good phone. It takes a good picture, he told me. He always sends me photos of the sunset to send to Renee. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:34:34 just send it straight to Renee. He's like, I don't want to bother her. I'm like, even now you're making me bother her. Has Renee ever put his photo on the TV one with her? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:43 I think both the Smiths should calm down and leave Renee alone. Both pairs. We're waiting for our cease and desist from the Renee Wright Incorporated company. So it's in the poo and he's like, well, Vaughn gave me that phone. I don't have the receipt. I'm not going to be able to claim insurance on that. I can't prove that I had it.
Starting point is 00:35:03 So mum said he spent hours in there like sifting around trying to find the phone and ended up coming home and she said he's had four showers and he still smells and I think the socks are a write off. They've had two hot washes and they'll be out on the line for a few weeks. Of course she did. It's laundry.
Starting point is 00:35:19 She probably got bloody excited when she was like finally a challenge. Getting these socks clean. But would his phone have even worked? No. They're waterproof. It might not have worked, but he wanted the phone to be able to take it into Vodafone
Starting point is 00:35:34 and be like, see, I have a phone. I'm not lying. And I said to him, Dad, you don't need, Vodafone can prove that you had an S10. He's like, how? I'm like, well, they know what phone you're using on their network. You can just go into them and say, can I please have proof of me using this phone for the last however many years?
Starting point is 00:35:56 And he's like, oh, shit. Literally. Do they? And he's like, well, I've still lost all my photos. I was like, no, I set up your phone. So it's got a Google Drive backup. So next time you get a new phone, you just log on to that and you're like backup phone from online.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Remember it was using your data so I turned it so it would only use it on Wi-Fi? Well, I don't know what you're all bloody doing on the phone. So he was wanting to get his phone back because he wanted the photos. He wanted the photos of it The proof Which I don't know if you could get anyway It was like an SD card Maybe SD card
Starting point is 00:36:30 Oh yeah It wouldn't have fried the SD card But he probably would have like Rinsed it under a tap To get it to work Fried it So he spent all And then I'm telling him
Starting point is 00:36:39 All the reasons he needn't Have got the ladder And climbed down into the poo tank And he's like Well it's Well it's good to know But it's too late now. So did he get it back?
Starting point is 00:36:49 Nah, he still hasn't found it. And I was like, leave it. And he's like, well, I can't leave it now because what if it gets sucked into the pump? Oh, it's used to go back in. No, because there's apparently a bit of mesh over it to stop it going in, but he's worried. I don't know. I was like, look, if you want to climb back in there,
Starting point is 00:37:03 that's your prerogativeative but you don't need to. How did he spend two hours down there and not find it? There's more than that. How wide's the tank? It's what you think about how big, like a big water tank is. Have you seen our water tanks?
Starting point is 00:37:17 Yeah. It's a 20,000, 25,000 metre tank. It's massive and he's like knee deep in sludge. Yeah, but it'll be at the bottom somewhere. Surely you could feel around for it. Yeah, but you know what it's like trying to, this is why radio stations put things in the bottom of jelly pools
Starting point is 00:37:31 or a thing of baked beans. You can't see through it and every time you go to grab it, it skids away that way. Well, maybe we should just tell people there's a radio competition at Ian's farm this morning to win a Samsung S10. And they'll find it and they'll be like,
Starting point is 00:37:46 but it's covered in shit and broken. We'll be like, well, we never stated. Teens and conditions. Yeah, T's and C's, baby. We never stated
Starting point is 00:37:52 it was going to work. Well, good luck, Ian, fishing that out of the poo tank. Today, somebody's off to buy a new phone.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Yeah. Mum's like, I found the box. I was like, you kept the box? Well, that's proof that I found the box. I was like, you kept the box? Well, that's proof that you owned the phone. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. I was FaceTiming my BFF yesterday.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Obviously haven't physically seen her for a while, five, six weeks or something now. So we had a wee catch up on FaceTime and she admitted to me that her last Friday night was wild. Okay. She drunk a bottle of rosé. Right. And then went online. Alone.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Is she alone or does she have a flatmate? Her flatmate's there. Oh, right. Okay. So she, yeah, drunk a bottle of rosé and then went online. Uh-oh. Was that the Kylie Minogue rosé? Does Kylie Minogue have a rosé?
Starting point is 00:38:51 Kylie Minogue. You are Kylie Minogue. Kylie Minogue, you. You are a poto. I'm not shitting you. I had a glass with more waff. Glass wood. And how was it?
Starting point is 00:39:01 It was lovely. It was lovely. I can't help it. Why are you doing British? No, I wanted to do Australian. Lovely. Lovely. That's where I wanted to put the emphasis.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Has it just been released? I don't know. I'm just Googling it now, darling. I'll tell you in a moment's time. Wines by Coily. That's what her website is. Wines by Coily. Coilymanaguewines by Kylie. That's what her website is, Wines by Kylie. KylieMcNuggetWines.com.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Kylie McNugget is a Prosecco Rosé. Oh, my God, listen to this. She says here to sell over a million bottles in less than a year has been incredible. Whoa. Well, I had one. Kylie McNugget does a Prosecco Rosé. Cots de Provence delaix-Saint rosé.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Okay. A Côtes-de-Provence rosé. A Vin de France rosé. It's all rosés. It's all rosés. Is it expensive? All rosés. How much did you shop?
Starting point is 00:40:01 It wouldn't have been expensive if you were buying it. I didn't buy it. Who did? Shade bought it. It wouldn't have been expensive if you were buying it. I didn't buy it. Who did? Shad, I bought it. It wouldn't have been expensive. I hope not. I'm about to bloody hit the roof because I'm pretty sure Danny Minogue would do a cheaper wine.
Starting point is 00:40:16 She probably would. Ellie said no, it wasn't the Kylie Minogue one. She said some $15 one. She tried it? $15 is like, I don't want to do 10. I'm better than that, but not quite $20. I only buy wine when it's discounted at the supermarket and it's got stickers on it. It would have been a $19.95 bottle of wine that was on special for $15.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Yeah, that makes me feel posh when I do that. It would have been at New World. Okay. A celebrity razor. Look, you guys carry on. Okay. We'll find out where Colleagues is and how much it is. So I don't think it was until Saturday morning
Starting point is 00:40:46 that she went into her emails and she had the order confirmation from the Candyman. The Candyman. Okay. Candyman.co, where she bought one KG. .co, is that Columbia or the Cook Islands? You don't want to buy from their Colombian Candyman. You get a KG of something, all right.
Starting point is 00:41:06 She bought one KG of teeth gummy lollies. I love those. You're like, ha, ha, look. They're not fun for that, but they're yuck lollies. Yeah, they're yuck lollies. I asked, I was like, how did you even find this site? And she was like, I honestly have no idea. How much was shipping?
Starting point is 00:41:23 God, she's a lightweight. One bottle of wine and she's blackout shopping. It was like $ I honestly have no idea. How much was shipping? God, she's a lightweight. One bottle of wine and she's blackout shopping. It was like $15 for the KG and then she said the order total was like $24 so the rest was shipping. So okay, so a vast majority of that is shipping. Okay, wow. And now she has a KG
Starting point is 00:41:38 of... No, no, it says here free shipping on New Zealand for orders over $60 so she needed to spend a bit more. Yeah, right, okay. But now she's awaiting the arrival of one kg of teeth lollies. Because you can imagine you would have been a little bit boozed. She's going to have them forever.
Starting point is 00:41:53 And found that hilarious. Mum's got a jar of something she bought two kgs of because we'll get through it. And they just, the family grew sick of it before you got through it. By the way, for those wondering, Carly's is about $20 a bottle for a Carly. That's a signature rosé.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Okay, I'll be waiting until that's on special. I'll recommend it. I'll go out there. You'd like that? Yeah. Okay, good. Well, since everyone's been kind of like drinking a little bit more lately and at home. And also we heard the stat from Rachel in the news that credit card spending has bounced right back.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Like during lockdown, people were spending up an absolute storm. I wondered if there was anyone else who's made a silly drunken purchase. Got out the credit card when you've had a couple of vinos. Especially when you can't remember it. Those are the best ones. Or even it turns up on your door and you're like, what is this? I didn't order this. And you open it and you're like, oh my god, it's a whole case of Kyle
Starting point is 00:42:53 and Manuki wine. Thanks, Kyle. She must have heard. 0800 dials at M. You can give us a call and you can text 9696. What was your silly drunken purchase? Talking now, though, about your drunk purchases.
Starting point is 00:43:13 My best friend bought a KG of gummy teeth lollies. Yeah, woke up the next morning and... With the order confirmation. Yeah, great. Cool. So, we want to know what you've ordered online. Maybe a little bit inebriated. Somebody said a Bumble subscription. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Somebody else said a bicycle. A Satisfyer Pro 2. Absolutely no regrets. Maybe they just needed a little bit of Dutch courage. Oh, I don't know. I should say Irish courage because I do have strong Irish ancestry. Or just say drunk courage.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Drunk courage. Yeah. A taxidermied badger. I would love one of those. Are you allowed to buy a taxidermied badger? I want one. Okay. How did they even find that?
Starting point is 00:43:55 I want one. A flight to Italy for the next morning. A metre tall lava lamp that was $350 on Amazon. Julie got drunk and purchased earrings of Ashley Bloomfield's face. Oh, wow. Yeah. I just found a taxidermy badger with a gun.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Like a Dick Tracy bad guy. Tommy gun. Yeah, Tommy gun. That's cool. Badgers are badass. They look evil. Like, they look stoty ferity. Yeah, they're of the family.
Starting point is 00:44:23 The Musclehead family. I once bought a disco light for the room of the toilet. When you sat down, it was weight activated, so it would turn on and have a disco. Wendy, what did you buy drunk accidentally? Oh, it was my husband, actually. Okay. He bought three alpacas off Trade Me.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Oh, wow. And woke up and did he have to break the news to you that you were now homing three alpacas off Trade Me. Oh, wow. And woke up and did he have to break the news to you that you were now homing three alpacas? Yes. I think I bought three alpacas last night. And do you still have these and they're still with you?
Starting point is 00:44:57 Yes, we do. Pain in the arse? No, they're not. They're actually very easy. Much easier than goats. A lot actually very easy. Oh, okay. Much easier than goats. A lot easier than goats. Yeah, goats are cheeky. Yeah, right, okay. Wendy, thanks for your call.
Starting point is 00:45:10 We want to know what your silly drunk purchases were. My best friend is now the proud owner of one kg of teeth gummy lollies. Well, when it's level two and we're allowed a pickup, I expect bags and bags. Yeah, she's going to make dollar mixtures. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's going to make dollar mixtures. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of just teeth lollies.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Yeah. What did you get in your dollar mixture? Just more teeth lollies. We're going to stop going to that crazy old lady down the road. That's only slightly above getting a whole mixture of mint leaves. Spearmint leaves. Someone has said that she'll be all set for Halloween though. Should we reach a level that allows for trick or treating
Starting point is 00:45:46 That's true Some text messages about what you purchased When it's slightly enablerated I bought a giant painting of a peacock For $600 at a silent auction for a work do $600? For a peacock Where's that gonna go?
Starting point is 00:46:03 Oh I don't know. I was on Wisdom Teeth removal painkillers. Okay. And I purchased the PlayStation secondhand off Trade Me. Had no idea until it turned up. Katie, what did you drunk purchase? Well, it actually wasn't me that did the drunk purchase, but my nana in her late 60s at the time, living on the west coast of South Island, had an afternoon tipple and the following week an Ab Circle Pro arrived.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Was that the rolly one? Yes, you know that's a bit old school, but yup. Oh my god, imagine... Wait, so she was planning on rolling on the ground to get her abs tight? No, no, ab circle. I don't really know. Ab circle pro was that one you, like, went on prone and you swung from side to side. Do you remember that?
Starting point is 00:46:54 You'd hold on to the middle and you'd swing around. Wasn't that not excessive? Wow. And huge. Imagine how many drunk nannies they get calling up the 0800 line on infomercials. Oh, yeah. Call now.
Starting point is 00:47:06 We've got another one. Katie, thanks for sharing. Ben, what did you drunk purchase? Yeah, so I was on Trade Me, and I brought a picture of Kobe Bryant. Okay. Was this after the RIP helicopter crash? Yeah, yeah. And I don't even know, like, I don't even know who Kobe Bryant is.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Oh, right. Okay. So, like, I was on Trade Me, and this guy was putting me up on this, yeah, and I don't even know, like, I don't even know who Kobe Bryant is. Oh, right, okay. So, like, I was on TV, and this guy was bidding me up on this, like, I do model cars, and then, yeah, I've seen him on this Kobe Bryant, so I bidded him up, thought it was funny, and, yeah, I won it for $15. So you were drunkenly angry at someone bidding against you for a model car, so you're like, I'm going to find out what else this guy's bidding on, and then I bid him on a... Oh, my God, that's spiteful.
Starting point is 00:47:44 But the funny thing was that I won it for $15, I'm going to find out what else this guy's bidding on. And then I'll bid him on a... Oh my God, that's spiteful. But the funny thing was that I won it for 15 bucks, but it cost me $45 to ship it, so I don't know who really won. NZ Post. That's my kind of pity, though. That's my kind of pity. The courier companies won out of that.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Thanks, Ben. Some more messages in. I drunkenly purchased my wedding dress online with my bestie. She was like, just do it. So I just did that. It was only $400. It arrived in perfect condition and fit magically. People always commented how amazing my dress was
Starting point is 00:48:18 and they've got no designer. Wow. I'm like, you can think. Corley McNug's bottle of rosé wine. No, I don't know. ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan. So it was my father-in-law's 71st birthday two days ago, exactly the same age as Bill Murray.
Starting point is 00:48:33 The actor, yeah. To the day. Yeah, that still just kind of blows my mind. Never really compared the two. They couldn't be more different. They both made me laugh. So I said as a birthday present, I would play some of his cover of Simply the Best on the radio
Starting point is 00:48:47 with permission from my wife, who was just a bit worried that everyone was going to be, not everybody, but some people might be mean. And I tell you what, she was blind out of the water, and I told her. I told her. Yeah. Not our people, not our listeners, not our audience.
Starting point is 00:48:59 You had a tear, Megan. I just thought it was so beautiful because he wanted you to play it. And, like, he loves singing. Loves it. And it was just so sweet. It was such a wholesome moment. And all the comments on social media. We got so many lovely text messages into the studio yesterday,
Starting point is 00:49:15 and I showed him those. And he was like, do I message these people back to say thank you? I was like, I'll just leave it. I'll just leave it. I don't think they were expecting a reply from you. No. And it would have taken him a long time. And then all the comments on social media and stuff as well.
Starting point is 00:49:31 The video of us playing it is on our Facebook and Instagram. All very nice comments as well. So he was stoked. I think he watched that video when the video got uploaded. Yeah. He watched it a lot. He watched it quite a few times. It's special for him.
Starting point is 00:49:48 A bit of a dream come true. Oh, totally. So special. Totally. There was a bit of a tear in the eye at one stage when he was watching it. Yeah, he felt very proud. And yesterday, we'll say there was advancements. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:05 I was filming Have You Been Paying Attention at Home and I came out into the lounge and there was a music video being filmed in the lounge. Okay. Sunglasses on. Yeah, of course. And Sade laughing because her dad had made a very big deal. He wanted to straddle a chair backwards in the music video.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Yeah, rock and roll, baby. Why sit on a chair ordinarily? Straddle the chair. It's the establishment. Yeah. Straddle the chair backwards. Shardow was like, you simply can't do that, Dad.
Starting point is 00:50:36 That'll look silly. And he's like, I'm doing it. And then he tried and it hurt his hips. So I think that was a little bit of a moment of realisation that perhaps not as rock and roll as he possibly could be. Would we be allowed to play a clip of the song now? Yeah, sure. I think so.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Just while we talk about this. Yeah, in the background here. So this is your father-in-law's band. Yeah. They're in Thailand. Yeah, yeah. But he's here. So this is all, you know, the magic of technology.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Yeah. He records the vocals, sends it back to them. This is exactly what happens in the industry. Yeah, this is how Taylor Swift does her stuff. Yeah, bits and pieces. Yeah, she'll stay in like New York or whatever. This is why we need fiber broadband in the rural community as well. There's all these retired singer-songwriters who need to, you know,
Starting point is 00:51:23 get a good quality file at speed. He's getting a double play here. He'll be absolutely stoked. He'll be absolutely stoked, yeah. This is an A rotation, isn't it? Same song twice in two days. So the video was filmed yesterday, the music video. Yeah, the music video was filmed yesterday.
Starting point is 00:51:42 And that's not for official release? Let's see if she's softened. I'll just... Because earlier your wife did say no to sharing. No, she said this is for your eyes only. And I said, but the people need it. Just out of curiosity, what's this band called? The band?
Starting point is 00:52:02 Down to Earth. Oh, yeah. Down to Earth, Simply the Best. Down to Earth, Simply the Best. Down to, yeah. Right, okay. Because you're watching that on YouTube, aren't you? Well, I wouldn't specifically say what video service I'm watching it on. Okay, yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:52:16 I wouldn't do that. Right. How many views has it had? 16. Oh, no, see, she's messaged me now. She said Dawn and she's in capital letters. I think you'll find I didn't do anything. Megan is the one that said it.
Starting point is 00:52:30 I just asked what his cover band was called. Down to earth. I can see how people could have pieced it together. Now looking back on it, enough clues were given. These internet sleuths. I just think it's a real shit. This needs to be out for the people.
Starting point is 00:52:45 He wants it. He wants it out there for the people. He wants it out there for the people. Shut up. Don't stand in front of the man in his dream. I'm wondering why she's trying to stifle her father's success. Jealousy. What is that?
Starting point is 00:52:55 Is she jealous, do you think? Macbeth, is it? Was it Macbeth that murdered his father? She wanted a music career. Wow, a duo. Father-daughter duo. A father-daughter duo. Yeah. Well, she's got pipes. She can sing. She's shy. That. Wow, duo. Father-daughter duo. A father-daughter duo. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:53:16 Oh, Lord. Yeah, wow. Wouldn't that be her? Now, that's going to take some convincing, but that is also what the people need. All they could do, don't go breaking my heart. Oh, yeah. That's a sing-star classic. Yeah, yeah,star classic from back in the day, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:53:27 He does. He can sing. He can do out and she can do kiki. She's capable of anything. That beautiful, angelic wife of mine, the mother of my children. And you know what has always been my favourite thing about her? What? How forgiving she is.
Starting point is 00:53:42 She didn't just message me dead, full stop. You know what she needs? Some Kylie Minogue rosé. She needs, I might stop on the way home, darling. If you're still listening and you haven't changed to another radio station, she wouldn't do that. Darling, I'll tell you what, I'll stop on the way home and get a bottle of that Kylie Minogue rosé you like.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Maybe you and I can chuck on a bit of down-to-earth Simply the Best and have a snooch outside. I mean, we may as well just share it on Instagram now, right? Well, let's not get me divorced straight away. Okay, right. Let the people do their thing for a bit. All right. Last night, Celebrity Treasure Island, another sea lab was cold.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Oh, you really cut that off fast. I refreshed it. Have you had a cease and desist from the wife? Yeah, her lawyer's calling me. I'm going to have to take this. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. We are joined on the phone by a loser. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:54:48 What a horrible way to bring a man in. What a loser. Art Green. Good morning, Art. I'm sure he's going to look at himself. Good morning. He's going to look at himself topless in the mirror later on and realize who the true loser is.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Good morning, guys. The guy that can't look at himself Topless in the mirror Later on And realise who the True loser is Good morning guys The guy that can't Look at himself in the mirror Topless Now You left Celebrity Treasure Island Last night
Starting point is 00:55:14 How did that feel? Oh It was It sucks It sucks to leave Because you're Because it's quite fun And
Starting point is 00:55:23 And you kind of Like now I think I'm going to get a bit of FOMO watching on TV and seeing what they're doing and all that sort of stuff. And yeah. You're quite like a competitive person. Do you like watching back on it? I actually thought what I've seen of the show you handled yourself well. I just know that you're a competitive person, but you didn't go like full crazy competitive on that.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Maddie McLean. Yeah, let's face it. When Maddie McLean's on season one, no one's going to look as competitive. No. In season two. Has there been any cringe moments watching back where you were like, not there.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Nah, not really. I don't think. Because I am really competitive, but I also just, I wanted to have fun, and I knew that to have fun, I just also wanted to get along with people and just kind of, you know, not take the game too seriously. So I think that I wasn't really put in a position where I needed to, like, choose competitiveness and getting intense about the game over just having fun. Yeah. think that I wasn't really put in a position where I needed to like choose competitiveness and and
Starting point is 00:56:25 getting intense about the game over just having fun yeah so and I think part of that was also when I left you know like this far through the show it's not I think it starts to get more intense from here on out so um so I wasn't really put in a position where I had to get too intense on it you know I think that is down to your personality though because I don't know many people who have been on like two completely different reality shows and come out just looking like such a nice guy both times. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 00:56:53 What's harder, being The Bachelor or being on Celebrity Treasure Island? Oh, way harder being The Bachelor. Yeah. What about hosting The Bachelorette? Oh, that's the easiest. That's the easiest. That's the easiest. That's a great gig.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Okay. I thought that might have been, like, a bit harder because, you know, you kind of had to concentrate versus, like, just being yourself. Yeah. You were just being yourself. You're totally right, actually. Like, in terms of, like, being a host of The B host of Bachelor, it's not very demanding on like
Starting point is 00:57:27 my time and stuff like that, but I do have to like put on a bit of a persona and, um, be a bit more formal. Um, where it was actually really nice being on a TV show where I could just be myself. Um, and so, and even when I was the Bachelor, I couldn't really be completely myself because I felt a little bit like I had, it was my first go on TV. So I didn't really know what I was doing. And I was a bit scared of how I would come across. Whereas now I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:57:50 you know, I don't really care. So I'm just being myself. And it was quite fun. Do you know who wins the Liberty Treasure Island? No. Okay. So who's your pick then?
Starting point is 00:58:00 I know the final three. Okay. Yeah. Why don't you give us your pick then? I won't say anymore, but, but I, I, you know, made, made the people know not Okay, okay. Why don't you give us your pick then? I won't say anymore. But I made the people know not to tell me because I don't want to know. I want to have to watch it on TV. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:13 I don't think we've spoken to you since you welcomed Autumn to the world. Congratulations. Yeah, thanks. Yeah, no, she's, what is she? She's probably almost four months old now. So it's been, yeah, it's been pretty cool. It's also been quite challenging because it's kind of like we had, I mean, she was born then like two weeks after she was born,
Starting point is 00:58:37 she ended up getting that RSV virus. Oh, my God. So we had that in our household. Now our son, Milo, he got it too. So it was like, oh, full on. And then we pretty much went into lockdown. So then we were in lockdown and it's just been a little bit, you know, it's been a bit of a ride.
Starting point is 00:58:56 But, you know, there's a bit of a light at the end of the tunnel now. So, yeah, looking forward to getting out of Level 3. All the while harbouring the knowledge of the final three of Celebrity Treasure Island. I know. I mean, it's been quite good getting us through it, you know. It's been a fun watch. Like, I like, it's quite nice having that bit of escapism of that sort of genre of TV show. You know, like there's so much kind of like serious, drama-y stuff and quite full on.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Whereas this is like, it's purely just fun. It's quite cool yeah totally awesome well it's on every single night every hour of TV2

Starting point is 01:03:21 fire. Yeah, not just like a little bit. It starts just like a little bit. It starts off as a little bit on both sides. One side gets put out by the person sitting next to her. The other side like literally takes off. Yeah. And then the video cuts out. Like she will need a... A haircut?

Starting point is 01:04:56 I forgot her name. I was like, when did Nicole? And it said Kidman. And I was like, that doesn't sound right. No. You can relate to this though because you have caught on fire. Literally the same way. I was at a birthday party, except it wasn't the birthday cake candles,
Starting point is 01:05:11 but there were candles everywhere across the table. And I was wearing a faux fur fluffy jacket. And I leaned across. It was fur. She just doesn't want a bucket of blood on her after the show. She's skinned a Muppet. Muppets are creatures too. And I leaned across to get some treats from the table
Starting point is 01:05:33 and the candle just, my jacket went up like an inferno. I've still got the jacket because I refuse to let it go, but the arm is burned. Yeah. She still wears it to work and you can see the burn mark. My friend, Jackie, deserves a shout out because she got burns on her hand from like patting me out because like Nicole Richie's hair. I would have had you burned out.
Starting point is 01:05:55 It's like if you own an old house, oh no, it's on fire and I've got all my photo albums out. Oh well. Like her hair though, it just like completely took off. I would have thrown a drink on you. I wouldn't have patted you off. I would have thrown a drink on you. I wouldn't have patted you. I would have just said stop dropping rules. I mean, you say all these things in the moment.
Starting point is 01:06:10 It all happened so fast. Yeah. I literally didn't know what to do. I was just flailing my arms in the air. Which gives the fire more oxygen. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I have set myself on fire like Nicole Richie
Starting point is 01:06:22 and I wondered if anyone else had this morning. Not in a really grim way. Like a we can laugh about it now kind of way. Yes. Like it was terrifying for three or four seconds. Yeah. Yeah. Those kind of set yourself on fire stories.

Starting point is 01:07:21 Has this put your daughter off, like, other birthday cakes or future birthdays? Not at all. She loves to tell everyone that this one time her preschool teacher caught her hair on fire. I bet the preschool teacher loves that. Oh, she has not lived it down. It was, I think, her first time she'd ever done a birthday cake as well with a child. Oh, God, she's not in charge of the birthday cake anymore.
Starting point is 01:07:45 We love her still to this day. She's still here. It's spoken about. It's laughed about. I like that you can set a cat on fire and keep your job. It's like the good old days, you know? Yeah, exactly. You know, you chuck a cat off the top of an adventure playground

Starting point is 01:08:30 this really awful smell. Realised my hair was singeing. You put your hair back into the fire. I like went back into the fire. Never put the candles where your head's gonna go. She's been a bath enthusiast. This is great now.

Starting point is 01:09:43 Oh, okay. She's just an accidental pyromaniac, I guess. She's not good with flames. Right. No, she's not trusted. Yeah, right. She used a lot of... Oh, she was at the house once.
Starting point is 01:09:55 Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. Fireworks. Does she know that you let those off outside? Those are outside toys. Yeah, but she aimed them at the house. What is she doing aiming them at the house? I don't know. A bit special, I toys. Yeah, but she aimed them at the house. What is she doing aiming them at the house? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:07 A bit special, I guess. Yeah. Keep an eye on mum. Let's confiscate her matches. Yeah, no, she's literally not allowed to start fires anymore. Okay, good. Good. Good.
Starting point is 01:10:18 It sounds like a gas fireplace would be good for her. Best for everybody. And a timely reminder, it's Daylight Savings this weekend, and that's a great time to check the smoke alarm batteries because Ayla's mum might be your neighbour. And she might shoot fireworks into your house next time. Well, flames can jump houses, can't they? They certainly can, so check those batteries.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Smoke alarms save lives. Thanks, Ayla. Some messages in. I leant over a candle at a wedding reception and set my hair on fire. The MC ran from the stage to set it and got it out before I even realised what had happened. Oh, wow. Slightly lopsided hair for the rest of reception,
Starting point is 01:10:50 and the whole hall will smell like burnt hair, but we're all right. Wow. I was sitting for dinner, and my four-year-old leaned over the table, and her hair caught a light from the candle on the table. I hadn't realised the first thing I saw was her auntie hitting her around the head with a tea towel, and I was like, what's going on here? And it turned out she was helping her, not just smacking her about the face with a tea towel.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Yeah. Somebody said, I put on deodorant and went outside, but I couldn't get my cigarette lit, so I went under my jacket to light my cigarette, and the remnants, these are all, by the way, these are all great warning stories of how not to end up hurt And they said Because if you ever had a candle going And then put on deodorant near a candle
Starting point is 01:11:31 I'm always like Get away from that By the way I'm not a spray on deodorant guy anymore Why not? I'm not a roll on, I'm one of them sticks A crystal stick Have you found crystals? Well, you know crystal? I'm a Botox and crystals.
Starting point is 01:11:45 Have you found crystals? Well, you know, because I don't know what's in spray-on deodorant. Yeah. So I Botox. And use a crystal because then that pulls out the bad stuff. Are you kidding me? You don't do spray-on anymore. Who are you?
Starting point is 01:11:59 No, I use that. Those balmy looking ones. Not a roll-on, but you turn the bottom and a bit more comes out. No. They're really good. No, they're not. They're really good. No, they're not.
Starting point is 01:12:10 I mean, I've been telling you about like roll-ons and. Not roll-ons. They're wet. I've had one of those ones that you're talking about. It's a balm. These are good because they're not wet. I don't like roll-ons. You put them on and your armpits automatically felt wet.
Starting point is 01:12:20 Yeah. Like they had some drying to do before it could stage dry. Someone's licked your armpit. And then you kind of got to do the bird dance. Yeah, you got to flap them about. You should try one of these sticks though. Pull your pits down. I don't want your stick in the pits.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Get it out. My granddad's stuck in his ways. Don't bother. No, come on. Try a stick. Try a stick in your pits. I don't want your stick in my pits. Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:40 I will put my stick in your pits. You bloody ask him first. I'm not taking no for an answer. Is it to Nivea do a stick in the pits? Nivea probably do a stick in the pits. No, I don't think they do. Because you know my blue Nivea, everyone gives me compliments about that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:53 They love it. For the scent. Yeah. They say, what are you wearing? I'm like, it's just Nivea. It's just Nivea. But you probably get the same response from the stick in the pits. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Do you remember, what do they call these? Speed sticks? I have to think about it over at Kylie Minogue Rose. I think you would do well to do some thinking over at Kylie Minogue. Yeah.
