Hello, welcome to the Fleeche Vaughan and Megan with Hayley Sproul podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe. Download the Mac as app to get McCafe rewards today.
And you'll hear us in today's podcast say that the average person has five manky bits of
rotting food hanging out in their refrigerator.
And timely because you're actually about to go home after the show.
I am.
And clean your fridge out of your flat.
I've got two hours until I've got a flat inspection, my final inspection.
I'm going to get my bond back because we're moving.
And the fridge is the last thing to do.
And I'm dreading it because I'm a manky fridge keeper.
So do you know the key to cleaning the fridge?
And I learned this a while ago and it blew my mind.
Ever since I used this trick, you wipe all the surfaces.
You get all the stuff out.
You can use maybe a light bit of spray and wipe.
Oh, yeah, you've got to.
You've got to get that in there.
But then you get like cheap vanilla essence.
So not like actual vanilla essence.
Oh, no, you're thinking vanilla extract is the expensive stuff.
Yeah, that's the stuff that's real bougie.
I think that's all I've got.
Well, you just get like cheap vanilla essence and you put it on a paper towel.
And then you just, or I guess you could you put it on a paper towel and then you just
or i guess you could put it in a squeeze bottle couldn't you if you had a squeeze you'd dry it
down oh yeah not a full direct squeeze get that all over the surfaces wipe it down with the paper
towels and your fridge will smell amazing it's the ultimate odor neutralizer yeah when my big
chest freezer defrosted and it sat there for like three weeks without me noticing. Oh yeah, it was insane.
I tried all the tricks.
Baking soda, bleach, everything, but I could still smell it.
Vanilla essence.
Well, actually, I used the extract because I was just so keen to get it done.
So it still works?
Oh yeah, it works better.
I might go to the supermarket and get some essence after this.
Just get like the home brand, whatever the PAMS or whatever.
It's like vanilla flavoring, eh?
Yeah.
And it's amazing.
And your fridge will smell amazing.
Better living, everybody.
You're welcome.
Works on your body parts too.
Oh, can you vanilla essence your tush?
Yeah.
I don't know if you should be telling me.
Oh, vanilla essence the balls.
Do you?
Yep.
Like, you know when you do cologne, you give a little.
Yeah, a bit of that.
Do that with vanilla essence.
Then you get your little vanilla.
Okay, we are joking.
But serious, do you think people cologne their genitalia?
100%.
Oh, totally.
No.
Yeah, 100%.
Totally.
Because when I do like a cologne, if I've just had a shave, it stings.
Oh, yeah.
But it doesn't sting your genitals unless they're freshly shaved.
But I don't want to smell.
You don't want to go down there.
It fades, though.
It fades.
It fades off.
I don't think you want to be distracted from whatever you're down there doing,
whether you're the person who owns the bits or someone near the bits.
Maybe I'd go for a natural aroma only, I think.
Maybe a pheromone scent.
Vanilla essence would probably be absolutely fantastic.
Sprinkle lightly on the genitals.
Producer Jared has just messaged,
have you, y'all, baby-powdered your bits?
It's a vibe.
Baby-powdered?
Oh, is that to stop it from-
Is that talcum?
You'll also learn in the podcast today
that Producer Jared has a very sweaty gout.
He does, yes, he does.
Almost problematically sweaty by the sounds.
There's nothing better than a dry set of balls.
You want to be careful there,
otherwise you'll end up with some of that Johnson & Johnson lawsuit.
Yeah.
Actually, you know what?
What would work as well as talcum powder
but doesn't have the pending multimillion dollar lawsuit?
Yeah.
Corn flour.
Yeah, I was going to say cornstarch.
Yeah.
Thickens a stew because of its drying quality.
So get a bit of that down in the area.
Thickens a stew.
If your balls are sweating so much that you've got a stew situation going on,
definitely add some cornstarch.
Add a bit of cornstarch or it'll feel like a stress ball too.
You know, they come a little bit starched because of the starch inside.
Hey, just a reminder as well for overseas podcast listeners,
it's Waitangi Day on Monday, so there will be no podcast on Monday.
You get nothing.
You get nothing.
But, hey, we'll be back for you on Tuesday
With the regular programming
Good morning, welcome to the show
Fletch, Vaughan and Megan
Today's the day
Eight o'clock
Are you here?
Long weekend, Groot
Just getting a yawn in there to start the day right.
Stretching those muscles, eh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Warm up.
So 8 o'clock this morning, the first long weekend group tour of 2021.
I'm excited.
And I couldn't sleep last night.
I'm so pissed.
I know.
It's going to be amazing.
And the news yesterday that we're going to be having an extra long weekend group tour
next year with Matariki.
I know. And that's a floating
long weekend group tour, like Easter.
Yeah. And it's an added
bonus for you, isn't it? Well, next year
the first one will be, yeah, day after my birthday.
Yeah. So some years it might actually
be on my birthday,
which would be bad because then I won't get attention
because I won't be at work. Right.
Yeah, we're too busy thinking about Matariki.
And not me. And not you.
Yeah.
I might have to take out some Facebook advertising or something.
That's all right, I'll chip in.
So my friends can see it's my birthday.
Can you promote your birthday?
I don't know.
Put up a post, it's my birthday.
Promote.
This is sponsored.
It's Fletch's birthday.
By my mum.
She wants everyone to know it's my birthday
and I'm her big special man.
Big special boy.
Coming up on the show, I believe the baker of the day is returning.
Bakery of the day.
Bakery of the day.
Of course, the baker who works there wouldn't, of course, take the title of baker of the day.
No, we will be giving them no recognition.
This was huge last week.
I received so many messages from people saying,
oh, I listened to the podcast, I didn't have time to get in in person to recommend my bakery. I said, well,
tough titties to me.
It's in person or newt.
Newt. Newt.
Last week's bakery of the day was in
Christchurch, wasn't it? Yes.
It was, yeah. And they received
bakermans. And when we say
we're going to give you a certificate, we don't lie.
No. I tell you what.
A beautiful certificate.
Was it Morgan? Was it Megan?
Morgan sent the photo of the certificate?
Yeah. Beautiful. Just wonderful
to see that. It looked like she had tears in her eyes.
She was crying. She was definitely crying.
Actually heard from the owners and their last name is
Bakerman. I mean,
what else were they going to do?
Yeah. So today,
for Bakery of the Day, we thought we'd get two
people on the line. Yes. And they're going to do. Yeah. So today for Bakery of the Day, we thought we'd get two people on the line.
Yes.
And they will have to argue.
Sell their bakery.
I mean, it doesn't have to be your bakery, just one that you frequent.
Yeah.
So if you have a favourite bakery, because we are compiling just a giant list of the best bakeries.
Yeah, there's a drive up and down New Zealand.
Exactly.
Your chance to do that is soon on the show.
The top six as well is coming up.
Yeah, Apple, the technology brand, is teaming up with Kia, the car brand, not the famous Alpine parrot of South Island fame.
I saw some of those over the holidays.
Although those ironically pull apart cars.
They do.
Kia build cars.
Apple and Kia are going to build some cars together.
What are the top six features of the Apple Kia.
All right, that's coming up on the show.
The UK's just banned something I believe we should ban here.
It's misleading and it makes me feel bad about myself.
All right, we'll delve into that soon.
But next on the show, two of my favourite things are at one place.
Yeah.
And they're going through a bit of a hard time.
So I want to chuck them a little bit of a SO.
It's a shout out.
Oh, okay.
Next on the show.
Guys, New Zealand, it seems,
although yesterday there was a confirmed community transmission,
but that person had been isolating for a while.
So that was very well handled.
That was the best possible outcome, right?
The wife and the mother of the two cases.
Yes.
So, I mean, it was, that was a ticking time bomb.
Yeah.
So they predicted that.
They'd been isolating.
But this latest sort of like whoopsie-daisy one slipped through.
Of course, when it was released there, what do they call it?
Track and trace.
No, that's when you're waiting for a parcel.
The QR, the diary, the QR tracing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tracing app.
Yeah.
COVID Tracer.
That's it.
At the,
at the centre of that long list
was Barbecue King
because they went there
some eight or nine times.
It was six times.
Well, let's exaggerate it
because no one remembers
the exact number.
We might as well
really sell this.
They went there 24 times
in two days.
Yeah.
They were a customer.
They were basically doing lunch and dinner.
Lunch and dinner. And yeah, everyone
was like, oh, they must be
like, they must work there or they must be
a supplier or something. Yeah.
And then Barbecue King confirmed
just a loyal customer, which is great
marketing on their behalf. It is. And I have
since followed Barbecue King. Same.
On Instagram. Yeah. And it turns out that they don't only do, if you look on their behalf. It is. And I have since followed Barbecue King. Same. On Instagram.
Yeah.
And it turns out
that they don't only do,
if you look on their website,
a wonderful array
of Korean barbecue.
The menu's huge.
One of those monster menus.
One of those
intimidatingly large menus.
That folds out
to like five pages.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't be scared.
Don't be scared.
Yeah, it looks like
one of those sun visors
you put in your car
to stop the...
A tanning one? Yeah. Don't be scared. Yeah. Don't be scared. Yeah, it looks like one of those sun visors you put in your car. A tanning one?
Yeah.
Don't be scared.
Yeah.
Don't be scared.
Get in there.
They also do K-pop parties.
Right.
So when it gets later in the evening, they start cranking the K-pop
and you can sing along.
There's karaoke.
There's all sorts of things.
And they've got a jazzy social media presence.
However, since they were named as the most frequently visited place of somebody who had COVID-19, business has absolutely gone silent.
Oh, that's sad.
That is sad.
Because you followed them, I remember you saying, and I saw it reported in the news, that they gave this place the deepest of cleans.
The deepest of cleans.
That's what I think.
There wouldn't be a cleaner place.
There wouldn't be a cleaner takeaway. It's not takeaway, it's think. There wouldn't be a cleaner place. There wouldn't be a cleaner takeaway.
It's not takeaway, it's restaurant.
There wouldn't be a cleaner restaurant.
People are still going to the supermarkets that they went to.
Yeah.
They get cleaned as well.
Yeah.
So they reopened 14 days after it was visited by the two cases
after a massive amount of cleaning,
and they said Tuesday was its worst day for business in its history.
Only three tables of customers all day and one takeaway order by 9.30 when they decided to shut.
Guys.
Yeah.
And that whole kind of area, that little block of shops and food outlets have said they've been experiencing next to nobody since.
Which sucks.
Because, yeah, they're probably cleaner than your average
Auckland suburban eatery too.
And all of their staff tested negative.
They've been tested multiple times.
Here's an idea.
Invite the press down for like a Friday evening dinner
and Ashley Bloomfield and his team from the Ministry of Health
are having a dinner and then go into K-pop anthems.
Yes.
Yes, bring the joy back to barbecue
king yeah with ashley bloomfield yes and he opens k-pop karaoke with gamnam style yes by psy because
my all my other k-pop knowledge is extensive k-pop groups yeah right actually bloomfield is but one
man well he could get a few people from the office and form, I don't know,
a group.
Okay.
He can do that.
I don't have any examples.
BTS.
Yeah, that was my
only other, yeah.
Go to BTS.
Okay.
Always fall back on BTS.
They could, okay.
They kind of have
brought K-pop to the world
on us.
So, yeah,
if you're around the area
this long weekend.
Support them.
Get down there
and open that massive menu and give them some support.
They'll claim.
They'll claim, baby.
I think we should go.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
The good old Advertising Standards Authority in the UK has made a bit of a decision
around something we use on Instagram a little too often, I reckon.
Influencers and brands, makeup brands, products,
are no longer going to be able to apply filters
when they're advertising beauty products
that exaggerate the effect of the product.
So because on Snapchat and Instagram filters,
you can get those filters that kind of give you a glow and slim your face, right?
Give you a glow, slim the face, put a little bit of a smoky eye on.
Yeah.
They're all going to be banned.
They're saying that they're totally misleading them,
the effect of the product.
And it's like false advertising, basically.
Some could say that they should do that for like dating apps as well.
Yeah.
Because people take their dating app photos using those.
Stop slimming that nose down.
Yeah, and then people meet them and they're like,
oh, okay, it's misleading as, yeah, it's misleading.
But that's what happens when you buy online.
This is true.
When it turns up in person,
it's not at all what was cracked up to be.
Yeah, you're a fan of getting it in the store, aren't you?
A big fan of local retail.
Local retail.
Buy local, buy local.
How is it different than buying a magazine
or seeing an ad that's been photoshopped?
Yeah, I don't know.
There's no difference, is there?
There's no difference.
Or is it that you expect like a glossy magazine ad
for a makeup to be Photoshopped?
Yeah.
Whereas you don't.
This is aimed at influencers, but it does apply to brands as well.
So anything they post on social media,
and maybe that's because the younger people are looking at it, maybe. I don't know. But yeah, it's just about saying it's giving
unrealistic expectations to their products. And people take it to the extreme. Have you
seen those ones on Instagram where it's the blackheads and they get this magic product
and they remove it and it's like this fogged out filter. You can see the smoked out edge of it all.
It's stopping stuff like that where you're like,
that product will not do that for you.
Don't waste your money on it.
Did magazines do that?
Or they have to say, don't they have to put somewhere if it was?
There might be some fine print.
If it was photoshopped.
Like we photoshopped the zits on this teenager.
Yeah, maybe.
Or a simulation or something.
So now if you had a product that was for acne and you used it,
you couldn't now post a photo that you've smoothed out your skin
and removed it all.
Yeah, face-tuned everything off your face.
Face-tuned everything off it.
You have to be honest.
I like that, though.
I like that.
Yeah, so you can still use a filter.
Like, you can use a regular Instagram filter,
like your sepias and your black and white.
Those are the two filters I exclusively use.
But you just can't be using things that enhance
the effect of it.
Right.
You know, where they really glow it up.
Yeah.
And then they have a dog tongue and whiskers and dog ears.
Yeah, like that highlighter didn't give me dog ears.
No.
Fletchvorner Megan, the podcast, ZM.
From the ZM clickbait room, this is the top six.
Hello there.
Apple and Kia combining forces to build a car.
To build not one car, 100,000 cars.
Wow.
I like Kias.
I went in a Kia, a new Kia recently.
It's very nice.
They are nice cars.
It could drive itself, kind of.
Mm-hmm.
Kind of?
Or is that something that you want to try?
That lane assist.
That lane thing where, like, if you put it on
and you take your hand off the steering wheel
and it goes towards the line, it just auto-corrects it?
Yeah.
But we're living in the future, guys.
So you put it on cruise control.
Yep.
You put it on distance assist,
so it won't get too close to the car in front.
It automatically controls the speed.
And then go to sleep.
And then as long as...
No, I don't think that's quite what they're encouraging.
Lane assist requires a hand on the wheel,
and if you don't have a hand on the wheel,
it goes...
in case you have fallen asleep to wake you up.
It's a sellotape of sausage.
No, you just push your knee up on it.
It just requires pressure.
You're pretty good sellotape of sausage.
Don't be ridiculous.
Five sausages.
We're going to sellotape a sausage.
Five sausages.
This is clearly the smarter option here.
Five sizzlers.
I hired a car in Dunedin
and I can't remember what brand it was
but it did this thing where anytime you got
close to anything, someone in front, someone
on the side, your under seat
would vibrate
on your bum. Oh my god, so you're
just like skimming past everybody.
Oh, now I'm a swerving left front centre.
You don't need an orgasm on the passing lane.
I'm sorry.
Heading out to the airport,
you're like, well, I've got a bit of a driver ahead of me.
Hit the wrong one.
Oh my.
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, Mausgill.
Oh my God.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Teddy Flats.
Okay. Yep. That's the extent of my sort of Oh my god Oh Oh Oh Teddy flats Okay Yep
That's the extent
Of my sort of
Dunedin to the airport
Places
Right
To drive past knowledge
That's good
So Abilene Care
Building a car
Top six things about that
Number six
If your car's running
A little slow
You have to hold down
The bottom on top
And the side button
Until the car restarts
Yeah
Hard reset
And then it should be said
That's a hard reset
For your car there
Good
Really shake things loose If not just Hold the button Until Yeah, hard reset. And then it should be said that's a hard reset for your car there. Yeah, good. Really shake things loose.
If not, just hold the button
until your whole car jiggles
and then delete a few.
Yeah, reinstall it.
Or just wait until your car jiggles
and just enjoy that
and then just shut it down again.
Hurrah!
Number five on the list
of the top six things
about this car
that Apple and Kia
are building together.
We're all going to have a friend
who takes your car off the charge
to charge their own car, even though it was your
charger and your car wasn't fully charged.
Yeah, and you had less
charge than them.
The height of rudeness. What are you at?
What percentage are you at? Actually, this is my
charger, so it's got absolutely no
ramifications of what I'm at. I'll charge it
until I'm charged. I hate that. What percentage are you
at? You're like, oh, about 27.
Oh, I'm on 11.
That sucked to be you. Well, maybe you should have
packed a charger. Yeah, Stacey.
I don't know who this Stacey is, but...
Oh, she's rude. Oh, she's rude.
She's the worst.
Number four on the list of the top six things about this car
that Apple and Care are building.
You'll always talk about getting a case for your car
and a windscreen protector.
You always talk about it.
You're always going to do it.
And then one day you'll drop your car and, well, now it's cracked.
Yeah.
It's too late.
You should have done one beforehand, shouldn't you?
But, you know, hindsight's 20-20.
Number three on the list of the top six things about this car
that Apple and Care are building together.
When your car's a couple of years old,
you'll have to charge it off other cars' car chargers
as your battery isn't what it used to be.
Yeah.
You'll pull up, you'll be going along on the motorway
and you'll wind in the window
and you'll pass them a really long USB cord, I'd imagine,
and they plug it into their cigarette lighter.
Number two on the list of the top six things about this car
that Apple and Care are building.
You'll try to look at your car in bed,
but you'll drop it on your face,
and you'll die.
And you'll die.
You'll be dead.
It will squish your face.
You'll be flat.
How'd you lift it in the first place?
I don't know, man.
And number one on the list of the top six things
about this car that Apple and Kia are building together,
when you're having a shower,
your partner's totally going to be sneaking through your car.
Oh, yeah. Having a good old totally going to be sneaking through your car. Oh, yeah.
Having a good old rummage.
Good look through your car.
Who's he been driving to?
Oh, yeah.
That's today's top six.
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM.
Hello, Fresh.
You will have maybe, if you've got Instagram,
you will have seen someone.
Yeah, I think I did one of those.
Was that the one I did?
I can't remember if Sade did one,
but I can't remember if it was that one or the other one.
Yeah, I've done one.
Yeah, I've done a little collab with HelloFresh.
I think everybody, everybody has.
Anybody with a social media account,
it's a little HelloFresh, well, it's bloody paid dividends.
I think everybody knows how these work, right?
Like you sign up for three or four meals a week
and they just send it to you in a box.
Yeah, and it comes all chopped up, ready to go,
all individual spices.
A little bag.
They do no work other than chuck it together.
Yeah.
They are the country's third largest grocery player now
after an absolute monster 2020.
So what it goes-
They made $194 million in the 2020 financial year to December
compared to $74 million in the same period a year earlier.
They had fourth quarter sales alone that saw growth of 143%.
God, no wonder everybody's using their discount codes
on any Facebook group
you're in.
Yeah.
Also, they won't care
if you're buying it discounted.
They can afford it.
They've overtaken
my food bag
and now the only
two grocery players
ahead of them
are the two major
supermarket chains.
So foodstuffs
and Progressive.
Which one's number one
out of those two?
It doesn't say.
Oh God, now I need to know.
Same.
It would be the ones
that do pack and save.
Yeah. Wouldn't it? Who's that? I don't know. That's food, now I need to know. It would be the ones that do Pack and Save. Yeah.
Wouldn't it?
Who's that?
I don't know.
That's Foodstuff.
So they do Pack and Save, New World, Foursquare.
Yeah, a whole bunch.
And Countdown are progressive, right?
Yeah.
And what other one do they have under their belt?
Fresh Choice?
Yeah.
Maybe.
That's a real, Fresh Choice is a real. That's a real, like a rural-y supermarket.
So, yeah, they're the third largest grocery player,
meaning like food provider in the country.
Wow.
I'd love to see their warehouse.
The sheer logistics of how many people must be signed up to it
and how many boxes are leaving and what goes in what box.
I would love to see their kitchen where how many people are chopping
little pumpkin cubes.
That's the worst job of them all.
Yeah, pumpkin's so hard to cut through.
They might have a blade.
They might have a machine like a bandsaw.
Yeah, I would get a subscription to that just so I could cut pumpkin.
Yeah.
Get rid of the rest of it.
I did. I did get a bit
of a
soft radish.
Oh, did you? Got a soft radish.
Get one every week. We got one this week.
We get one every now and then.
So, is anybody surprised
that this is the third largest
or that it's so popular because
you struggle to understand it because you're a single
person and you are time rich.
Like you have time on your hands.
I do.
You do nothing with your day.
You've got from 10.30 every day.
You do nothing.
You've got nothing but free time.
Sit on your ass.
Like it's not cheaper though, is it?
No, but you're paying for the convenience.
You're paying for the convenience.
But why not get takeaways then? If you're not a giant family. But it's also, they're quite paying for the convenience. You're paying for the convenience. But why not get takeaways in if you're not a giant family?
But it's also, they're healthy, like they're well-balanced meals.
Yeah.
But I think with super, like, is it cheaper?
No, I mean, is it more expensive?
Because when I go to the supermarket, I just do my big shop
and I just overbuy.
I blow out, yeah.
Yeah, right.
You see the number going up
when you're at the checkout
and you're going,
what?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're like,
we can never have too much
Coldwater Surf.
No.
That's me.
I buy it at three hours.
You know how much
I love a $20 bag of cereal.
Yeah.
Is it just that
people don't like
that what's for dinner argument
and this is,
that is a shortage for you?
A huge thing of it is that you can um pick what you get
you can dodge things you don't have to have that what are we having chat again yeah and then you
don't really have the risk of of making a meal and then it being yuck because they've tested them so
you've got to really stuff it up for it to not be yum.
You know what I mean?
Like they've got the balance.
Also, just to come back to that, who's the biggest?
Foodstuffs has 53% of the grocery room market.
Countdown has 32, according to CanStar.
Right.
They're in charge of the cans, all the cans.
Making sure they're facing the right way and they don't have dents in them.
Sure.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Bakery of the cans. Making sure they're facing the right way and they don't have dents in them. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast.
Bakery of the Day.
Bonjourno.
Is that French or Italian?
Bonjourno is
Italian. That music sounds
Italian. Yeah.
Bonjourno. Wow, delicious
bakery items in Italy. I feel like I'm
going with Tony Soprano.
All right, so this is how Bakery of the Day works.
We have two callers on the line, and they have to, I guess,
win us over with their bakery.
And you nominate any bakery in the country.
They're doing a sales pitch for us, basically,
selling the goods of the bakery to prove that they are worthy of Bakery of the Day.
And they're just passionate consumers a lot of the time, not even employees of the bakery.
Oh, yeah.
A lot of people reaching out after we awarded bakermans last week in Christchurch.
People saying, yeah, that was a good win, that one.
Yeah.
We've got a lot to live up to today.
We can't get it wrong.
That's on the visit list.
All right, well, let's meet our first contestant.
Bakery number one.
Benjamin.
Buongiorno.
Buongiorno.
Morning.
Good morning.
Yeah, good morning.
Yeah, good morning, mate.
Good morning.
That's my Italian.
What bakery are you here to tell us about this morning for Bakery of the Day?
Well, I think it's a bit of a dark horse, to be honest.
But Hastings New World just kills it.
Wait, so is this the bakery department within,
or do they have a bakery?
No, they have a bakery department,
but you wouldn't expect it from a supermarket.
Oh, okay.
So, because some of them have like a flash,
like a cafe bakery before you go in,
so that mum can stop outside and have a little treat.
Because you don't go shopping hungry.
No.
Yeah, but you're talking about the actual bakery department.
Yeah, that's right.
So what is it that wins you over in the Hastings New World Bakery Department, Ben?
I would either go the potato chop pie or their Sally Loon.
Sally Loon! Sally Looon. Sally Loon!
Sally Loon!
Sally Loon!
We always got Sally Loon's as kids when we'd go away for like picnics or beach days or whatever.
What's the icing ratio?
Oh, it's probably a good maybe one to four.
Oh, you're beautiful.
Good.
Because my favourite as a kid with the Sally Loon's, because I haven't had one as an adult, actually.
Have you not?
When the actual bread dips down and they fill it level with icing
and you get like an inch and a half of icing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That pink icing with coconut on top.
Yeah.
That's why you've got to let everyone else take a slice first
and then you take the middle bit, which has got the most icing in it.
Yeah, good.
Okay.
Just showing my colleagues here, I've Googled New World Hastings. It does look like a lovely New World. Yeah, that's a lovely. Look at it. Yeah, good. Okay. Just showing my colleagues here. I've googled
New World Hastings. It does look like a lovely New World.
Yeah, that's lovely. Look at that.
Okay. It's got lots of
sweet treats there in that bakery.
That's quite bougie. It is.
It does look very upmarket. Well, Ben,
hold the line there. Thank you.
Bakery number two.
Tamare,
good morning.
Good morning.
Buongiorno.
Buongiorno.
Which bakery would you like to nominate?
The Anderson's Pie Shop in Hauru.
Oh, being from Taranaki,
Anderson's Pies have been around forever, right? Like, even when I was a kid, they were around.
Yep.
Yep, and they're amazing.
What makes them so delicious?
Well,
my favourite every time I go
there, which is a lot,
I will always
get a jumbo steak
pie and an apple
turnover. Yes.
And because of
Anderson's, I'm fussy on what pies I get as well as lamingtons.
Lamingtons.
Yes.
I love a lambie.
Really, I don't often reach for a lambie.
Oh, yeah.
When you come down here, you've got to have a lambie.
Okay.
Yep.
And when the lamingtons have thick icing, that's when they soak them for a long time.
That's when they're good.
I've Googled.
They've won many awards over the time.
I'm seeing a story here from 2012.
The Harwood Apai named one of New Zealand's best.
This looks like I'm looking at their photos,
so they've got their menu and can click on it.
It's just all these photos that mum took of the boys.
It's not in a flashy light box.
They're not trying to sell us the photography.
They're selling us the actual bloody meat in the pie.
Every flavoured pie is a slightly different shape.
So you know your steak, bacon and cheese
from your vegetable and chicken.
Got a wonderful array of pies here.
They've got a pie cabinet
and I'm looking at your sandwiches.
You've got your sandwiches.
You've got your filled rolls, your ham filled rolls, your donuts.
When you say jumbo steak pie, how jumbo are we talking here?
Well, it took me the first couple of times I had them,
it took me a couple tries to actually finish it.
Oh, see, I love that.
My man.
That's good.
That's good.
All right.
Well, I think now the judges
must deliberate.
Yeah, the judges have deliberated.
The judges have deliberated. How'd up the amount
of fingers that
correlate to what line our winning caller was
and we must just say
congratulations.
They've been around. Can I say, this formed in the 1930s when Joe and Anita Anderson purchased a bakery in Whangamomana.
Whangamomana.
Whangamomana.
I knew I'd missed the syllable in there.
Whangamomana.
Congratulations.
Tamate, you have recommended today's bakery of the day, Anderson's Pies and Hawara.
Yes.
Cheers, guys.
And I think we should give a special commendation to Ben
for alerting us to the Sally Loon.
Oh, I know.
At Hastings New World.
That does sound like...
A hidden gem.
Yeah, that's on the list for sure.
But, yeah, congratulations.
We'll send out a certificate to the bakery.
They may just be like, what the hell is this?
They might have no idea what's happening.
If you're popping through Harwood today, don't be a fool.
Oh, you're getting there.
Stop at Anderson's Pies.
Tell them we sent you.
That's not a discount, but...
We have no authority.
No, we don't.
Tell them Tomato recommends the Monster Steak Pie.
Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast.
ZM.
Felt it last night when we arrived at Banger's Bingo.
There was some awkwardness in the air.
I identified the situation.
I made some inquiries.
And now we crossed to the producer's booth where they would.
What?
You said juicer's booth.
Yeah, I'd love a juicer's booth.
I'll just get a green juice.
Thanks.
I went super soft on the purr and came in with the juices.
Yeah.
Producers booth
because it was between
two producers
and an awkward message
was exchanged.
Yeah,
so this was
in the height of
bingo set up last night
so I was very stressed
and like had a million
things going on
and I had a spare
10 seconds
so I figured
I'd just text
my lovely Mrs. Emma.
Yeah, midi.
The midi.
The midi, yep.
It turns out I didn't actually text Emma, and I texted EP Anna.
Yeah.
So, yeah, Anna received a text from me saying, hey, beautiful, XX.
No.
Wow. Were you there when you got this message?
Nah, Jared and I had just got off the phone
discussing, as you said, bingo logistics
so I saw a new message from Jared
and I was like, oh boy, something's gone wrong
and I opened it and I was like, oh wow
that's very flattering
That's inappropriate
Was your mind starting to race a little bit?
What do I say?
I had no idea you liked me.
God, how awkward.
What's work going to be like tomorrow?
Yeah.
No, I thought straight away,
this feels like it might be meant for somebody else.
It might not be for you?
It's certainly a change from our usual messaging style.
Yeah, very professional usually.
Imagine if it had been worse.
Yes. If it was a picture.
I would
throw my phone in the ocean.
Set it on fire. I have
received something like this before.
A picture. Not like this.
Hey beautiful's nice. We should be telling our friends
that more often. We should be. Hey beautiful.
Thank you.
So I went out
and this person
shall forever
remain anonymous
but we went out
on the razz.
We had a few
little venos.
Yeah.
Just a couple of bottles
and we got home,
separate taxi.
She went off to her house.
I went off to mine
and I went to sleep
and I hear this little
ding on my phone and I opened off to mine and I went to sleep and I hear this little ding on my phone.
And I opened up the phone
and this was when I was
right into the Snapchat.
Yeah.
And in my sort of
drunken slumber,
I was like,
what was that?
And I opened it
and I pressed the image,
which was from my friend
who I'd just been out with.
And it was a full-blown,
full-body nude.
Wow.
So she was booty calling.
So she got home drunk and was like, it's time to booty call someone.
It's time to give someone a little tease with this hot bod of mine
and accidentally sent it to me.
Now, she had no idea she had done it.
Because, you know, with Snapchat, they're so quick.
And, you know, like, it's not that clear.
And you can't recall it. You can't recall them. Because you know with Snapchat, they're so quick. And you know, it's not that clear. And you can't recall it.
You can't recall them.
Unless you block them.
The only thing I regret
was that I was too messy
to take a quick screenshot.
Only so I could eventually show her.
So the next day we were hanging out
and I said,
do you know what you sent me last night?
She was like, no.
And then I told her what it was
and she was so mortified. So mortified
one that I had seen her naked body, which is no big
deal, but mortified as to whether there
were more people that she had seen.
We're clarified there wasn't.
But her boyfriend
really missed out. She looked
good.
So she was sending it to the boyfriend.
She was sending it to her very new boyfriend.
You know how you, you know.
Right.
Do you have a similar first letter or were you just close to each other on the Snapchat?
No, it was probably like we were like her top two people on.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
So you got it.
You've got it.
You've got a double check.
Good setup.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Purely platonically.
Platonically?
Yeah.
Look, I've said to my mates, I'm like, if you want to shoot me through a nude just to get, you know, my genuine take on it.
Platonically, she was keeping it tight.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, good, good.
Good for her.
But you've got to double check.
We've all done that thing where you send, like I've done this where I've sent a message about someone and I guess my brain does a little skip
and it sends it to the person.
I'm always a double checker.
You know, if you're talking about someone.
It's risky.
Having a little goss.
You're having a goss.
You just say, okay, are they in this group chat
or am I about to send it to them?
Don't do that.
Yeah.
But I think we've got to take some calls this morning,
not just on messaging the wrong person,
but when you've messaged the wrong person something sexy.
Sexually charged.
Whether it was like producer Jared, just a little, you know, kiss, kiss.
Yeah, thinking of you.
Yeah, hey babe kind of thing.
Or maybe, yeah, like your friend.
It was a full blown.
A Snapchat or a photo.
Yeah.
I mean, worse if you send a photo in text or something
because that doesn't disappear like Snapchat.
Yeah.
Thank goodness it was the time of the peak of Snapchat.
Yeah.
We're talking about messages,
sexually charged messages going to the wrong people.
Whether it be nudes to a friend after a night out Snapchatting
or hello, was it sexy?
Was that what he, was that what Patricia said? Was it sexy or
cutie? Cutie. Cutie.
Cutie. Hello cutie. Cutie to a
workmate rather than your
middy. So yeah, we
want to know when those ones have gone to the wrong people.
Alright, well let's take a couple of calls. Let's start
with anonymous. Always a good sign
of a good story when somebody is anonymous.
What happened?
So I, my, so a friend of mine was going on a Tinder date
with a Swedish guy,
so I thought I had text her a couple of comments.
One was, do you think I'm sexy?
And the other one said, do you have a big schlonger, so to speak.
In Swedish.
So to speak, yeah.
In Swedish.
Wow.
Right.
So I didn't understand why she didn't reply.
And a couple of days later, I asked her about the text,
and she sort of looked at me blankly.
Didn't think anything more of it.
A few days later, I had to contact my daughter's solicitor.
And he, because I hadn't heard anything,
and I hadn't thought about it, but before I'd text my friend,
I'd text him something on my phone for my daughter.
Anyway, I said, what's happening with her case?
And he had texted me back and said, sorry, emailed me back and said,
oh, look, I don't think it's appropriate.
She sent me a couple of inappropriate texts
and I don't think I should be representing her.
And I'm like, oh, my God, really?
And he goes, yes, they were, you know, emailing, very inappropriate.
And then I went back and I asked her, she didn't know anything about it.
And then I thought about it and I looked at my phone and I had texted my
daughter's solicitor.
She's too inappropriate.
And I had to face up to it
and I had to tell him
and it was so embarrassing.
Oh my, and did he eventually
grab the presenters?
Yeah.
Oh, he did, great.
I love the multi-layer of
not only did you say it in English
but it was also there in Swedish for him.
Yeah.
I'd imagine he Google translated that
and then was quite horrified.
Anonymous, thank you for your call.
Linley, when did you accidentally send something sexy to somebody?
I wasn't so sexy, but I worked for a law firm in London
and the guy I was living with at the time worked for the same firm.
And one of the firm's partners had the same name.
Oh, yeah.
The initials were different in the email address.
And I sent him an email saying, hey, did you know if we get married,
the firm pays you £100 for every year you've been employed by the firm?
That'd be £800 that'll pay for our airfare back to New Zealand
when we're having a holiday.
Yeah.
And I sent it to just one of the senior partners
of the firm instead of my boyfriend.
Oh, wow.
So you were basically proposing to the boss.
Yes, I proposed to him.
As soon as I sent it, I saw what I'd done
and I quickly picked up the phone and said,
hey, don't open up that email.
And he said, oh, I've already replied.
It's a yes.
Yeah.
Well, he was gay.
Oh, right.
Okay.
He replied and he said, thanks very much for the offer,
but I don't think it applies to partners.
Oh, okay.
They were doing well enough out of the business.
Exactly.
Hey, Lindley, thanks for your call.
Natalia, when did you accidentally send a sexy message to the wrong person?
I was going through my phone, deleting off old photos and videos.
Yep.
At the same time, I was also talking to a new person.
Yep.
And I accidentally sent him an inappropriate video.
Oh.
And did he appreciate that?
He was horrified. Hor did he appreciate that? Um,
he was horrified.
Horrified?
A bit early,
perhaps.
A bit early,
yeah.
Yeah.
And so,
did that go anywhere
or no?
No,
I was so embarrassed,
I just walked away
from the whole situation.
Oh,
no.
Brilliant.
Sometimes you're just
going to throw your hands up
and be like,
I'm out.
Yeah,
exactly.
Can't fix it.
You might maybe get some feedback in the meantime.
Just, you know, see where you could have gone wrong next time.
Thanks, you're cool, Natalia.
Some text messages on those messages of a spicy nature.
You can now retract a snap pic.
Can you?
Somebody said, yeah, if you're on Snapchat now,
if you accidentally send one, you can pull it back now.
Oh, there's a good time
because I do
I've got that function
on my email
because I do that often
you know
whenever I see an email
in the work email
that's like
someone so and so
has retracted this message
I'm like
I must look
yeah
there's a
our mate's WhatsApp group
you'll get in there
and it'll be like
message has been unsent
and you'll be like
what was sent
I know.
And then you don't believe them.
You don't believe them when they're like, oh, no,
it was the wrong group.
You're like, no, it wasn't.
Tell me what it was.
I'm the only female at work and I accidentally text my boss
rather than my partner saying, have a good day today, my love.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
That was.
Oh, God.
Cringe.
We had a party and I drunkenly
got in our spa.
I sent any pics
to my husband
who was still
partying in the man cave.
The pics were of my boobs
bobbling around in the spa.
Yeah.
I woke up to many
messages from friends
because he had his TV.
He had the phone
connected to the TV
screen sharing
showing him things
and he kept getting
pictures of my boobs
bobbling around in the spa.
So, right person but wrong people saw it.
Yeah, well.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
We're disgusting as people
and... Speak for yourself.
And do you know what? This is actually very timely
because I've got a
flat inspection today before
I move out finally and the last job
I have to do is clean out the fridge.
I left. It was late last night.
I thought, you know, I just don't want to deal with that hell today.
Is it their fridge or your fridge?
It's their fridge.
Right.
But my disgustingness in it.
Yeah, right.
And your bond on the line.
And my bond on the line.
Yeah.
Because a recent study has found out that at least five food products
are rotting away in the average person's fridge right now.
I've got like a third of a cucumber, which I thought about putting in a salad the other day,
but I was like, no, you're gone.
They shrank.
And I'm not touching you right now.
You can't leave a cucumber too long because they go spongy, they go wrinkly,
then they just turn to like a brown water.
Yeah.
Be careful with the...
I reckon I'm two days away from brown water.
Brown water, yikes.
So a survey of 2,000 people revealed a lot of things
about our habits in the fridge, what we keep there,
some of the disgusting things that they discovered.
Cream cheese often goes pink before people throw it out.
I've never seen pink cream cheese.
Mouldy cucumbers.
Yep.
And even bugs hiding inside there.
I'm guilty of that.
I was kind of sand flying in my fridge.
Or did he get trapped?
You opened it, it flew in, and you're like... Probably, but he had plenty to eat in there. I'm guilty of that. I was kind of sand flying in my fridge. Or did he get trapped? You opened it, it flew in
and you're like... Probably, but he had
plenty to eat in there. Get an earwig in your celery.
48%
of people admitted to having to
throw out whole containers of
leftover food because we just leave it in there to rot.
Or you leave it in there because it'll
keep it cool and not smelly until
rubbish day, then you put it in the bin on rubbish day
because then it doesn't stink out the bin
by putting it in too early.
Yeah, exactly.
It's keeping it nice and chilled.
Two out of three of the people that they surveyed,
I was going to say interviewed, surveyed,
said that they left it so long
that their containers had a lingering smell
that will never leave.
Oh, like when you put bolognese in a sustainer
and it goes orange or any container.
But if you leave it there too long,
it's got that tang.
Yeah, chuck it out.
Get a new one.
Things that rot the most,
that most people had rotting in their fridge,
broccoli.
I've always got a shriveled stalk
with like two florets on it.
Yeah, because they go a bit
floppy, doesn't it? Yeah, it does.
Fish.
Oh, no. See, I don't
because fish is so expensive. You buy it
on the day you're going to cook it.
There you go. And fruit.
I'm real bad at that. Mine's always
like the half fruit or veggie
in the egg tray that you're like, I'll
come back to that. And you pop it in there and then it just becomes this.
Onion.
Shriveled up.
Shriveled up thing.
So at the end of the survey,
they also surveyed who wants to get better
at getting organised with your fridge.
Only 64%.
The rest of them are happy to let their life rot in there.
Surely someone says, do you want to get better?
You'd be like, yeah.
Even though you're lying, you've got no intention of you,
but everyone would love to be, I'd love to be better.
I'd love to be better with my fridge.
40% of people are like, can't even be bothered lying to you about that.
What a horrible thing to think about.
Five things are rotting in my fridge right now.
On average.
On average.
In every person's fridge.
Yeah.
Wow.
I'm trying to think about what they would be.
It's definitely a cucumber.
Yeah, 100%.
Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast.
ZM. Fletch Warner Megan
with Hayley Sproul. Refund your date.
I depend on me.
It's time to hear
from Lachlan about a bad dating experience.
He's going to give us all the details and then tell us
how much it costs. I feed those details
into the date refund of 2000
and it decides whether or not he qualifies for a refund.
Yeah, I mean, spoiler alert, it has given a refund every date, hasn't it?
What?
Has it?
Might need a...
The denied button is working.
Yeah, I might give it a reprogram after today.
Okay.
We'll see.
Lachlan, let's start from the beginning.
What happened?
Okay, so basically I matched with this guy on Tinder
And he was super, super cute
So I was like, alright
I'm going to take you out for dinner
Okay
Let's hang out
Can I just ask Lachlan
If they're not super cute
Do you not take them out for dinner?
I don't pay for dinner
Okay
Wow
I love your honesty
I've got to secure this one
I was like, this one has to be secured.
Got to pay for it.
Okay.
Yeah, exactly.
So basically we went out to dinner in Wellington.
This was back when I lived there.
Paid for everything.
Just trying to impress.
He was from the UK.
Okay.
So he was, he had moved here.
I was like, oh, he's probably, you know,
he was saying he didn't have much money,
all that sort of stuff, you know, just being nice.
Anyway, end up going back to mine, having a bottle of wine at mine,
you know, praying, you know, doing all those really,
really nice Christian things.
Yes.
Nothing naughty.
Someone was saying, oh, God, oh, God.
For a moment there, I thought you were actually praying,
but that's code, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's code.
We were Bible bashing.
Oh.
Yes. It's code, isn't it? Yeah. It's code. We were Bible bashing. Yeah. Yes, you were going door to door.
Yeah, truly.
Spreading the word of the Lord.
Amen.
Honestly, amen.
So, yeah, so great time anyway.
So after that, he had a little bit of wine left.
So I was like, I hadn't really drank.
So I was like, cool, I can drop you home, save you an override all that sort of stuff yeah of course um so
while dropping him home i was like oh by the way why are you in new zealand like you know tell me
your life story a little bit more about that yeah um he was like oh i was actually living in Sydney, but I've ended up moving here because on New Year's Day,
I was found with a ginormous amount of mini, mini drugs at a festival
and I got arrested, put in jail,
and then they bailed him out to go to his court date and he fled the country.
He's a fugitive.
He's a fugitive.
And he was allowed, and he flew to New Zealand. Yes, and he fled the country. He's a fugitive! And he was allowed, and he
flew to New Zealand. Yes,
and he escaped to New Zealand and I was just sitting
in the car like, oh my god, we're two minutes
away and I've just slept with
a fugitive.
Were you scared?
Or kind of turned on? I was sort of
like, this is definitely one for the bucket list.
I've definitely
done something that I'm, you know,
I'm never going to do again, but at least I've done it.
Yeah.
Yeah, and he was a little tipsy at this point.
So he's like, you know, talking on and on about it.
And I was sort of just in shock, like, asking more,
but not really wanting to know more.
Halfway through it, spills the rest of his wine all over my car
and then goes
and he goes
oh sorry
anyway
we're here
but I'll talk to you later
but I was like
okay bye Pete
see you later
bye
bye
and yeah
and then he was like
oh just message me
about like cleaning up that mess
like I'll organize something
get home
go to like
message me like
hey
you know,
I'm going to have to clean my car because it was so bad at reek.
And he blocked me on everything.
Oh.
We didn't have any money to pay for the car cleaning, did we?
We could go and steal some and then pay for it.
Oh, my God.
It was so ridiculous.
I'm sorry.
The other thing was I haven't seen him since because he told me
the other thing he told me was
he thought that the
Australian police had figured out that he was in
New Zealand so he was escaping to
Thailand
in the next few days.
And he was like, I'm just going to go to Thailand. I feel like they're on
to me. I'm just going to, you know, I'm going to go.
I have to move countries. And I was like,
never seen him again.
Well, there's a tip for the police right there, isn't it?
He's in Thailand.
Yeah, Thailand.
With his dad.
With his dad.
Go find him and get me my money.
Okay, so Lachlan, you had to clean your car.
You had the bottle of wine and dinner.
How much are you claiming for a refund here?
It's about $200.
$200. Okay. I'll put this into
the date refund of $2,000.
Your date refund request has been...
Is the machine broken?
No, it's accepted.
Yes!
There you go. That's a soiling
fee in a bottle of Pinot Noir. Ah, beautiful. Thank you. Yes. There you go. That's a soiling fee in a bottle of Pinot Noir.
Oh, beautiful.
Nice bottle of Pinot Noir.
What kind of wine drinker are you, Lachlan?
I do a shoddy.
I was going to say he sounded like a shoddy guy.
Shame on you.
I was just saying to like you.
No, Pinot Noir is disgusting.
I will never be one.
I will never drink it.
I assumed the wine spill was a red wine.
Yeah.
No, it was like a stinky.
See, I had gone all out, so I got a cheap bottle of wine.
It was like that clean skin, disgusting mix of everything.
So it was so gross.
Well, hey, congratulations, Lachlan, $200.
Thank you so much. ZM's Fletch, congratulations, Lachlan, $200. Thank you so much.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Today is my flat inspection.
And then I am done with that street,
and I am done with my student neighbours.
But their final prank.
So this was...
By the way, they haven't claimed this prank, have they?
You're just assuming that you've been pranked.
I've strung some strings together.
I think we've got a Shutter Island situation.
I have made some conclusions.
This is the flat.
You've told us about this.
In the few weeks you've been filling in for Megan on maternity leave,
you've had the issues with the builders and coning the car parking.
Coning the car parks.
We've got the students next door
that I swear have stolen my favourite T-shirt
and my favourite undies.
And then your new neighbours listen to music too loud.
I'm going to let you in on a saying.
No.
No.
My nan says a saying.
Meet an arsehole in the morning, you meet an arsehole.
Meet arseholes all day, you're the arsehole.
No.
It's a great saying. Ithole. It's a great saying.
It is.
It's a great saying.
It is.
You're the common denominator.
Yeah.
You're a pain in the arse.
I refute that because I'm just trying to be a friendly neighbour, a quiet neighbour, a
considerate neighbour.
Okay.
But anyway, so I feel like these students, we don't get along.
I feel like they moved my furniture once.
It's been a bit weird.
What? Moved your furniture? Yeah. I feel like they moved my furniture once. It's been a bit weird. What moved your furniture?
Yeah, I told you about my outdoor furniture.
Stacked nicely.
I was stacked nicely.
Students, of course, are always stacking things nicely.
And you have no recollection of stacking.
It wasn't your partner that stacked the furniture.
No, no, no.
We both came up and were like, where's our furniture?
And there it was.
Okay.
Now, I feel like, because we had a little altercation the other day
we came out onto the boom and my aaron he loves to keep a tidy boom and we came out and on their boom
were just some scattered bottles like they'd been drinking so aaron lightly yep chucked them back
up their driveway did one shatter That's up to the listener to decide.
He's a boom Nazi.
He's not a boom Nazi.
He's a boom Nazi.
Anyway, so the other day I got into the car with my mum and it's a new car, right?
It was groomed.
It's a new secondhand car, but it was groomed.
It was lovely.
And we get into the car and my mum just goes,
Did you piss yourself?
I was like, what?
Patsy, no, I haven't pissed myself.
And then she goes, well, I know I'm getting older, but I don't think I have.
And then she quickly checked and she hadn't
pissed herself. And then
quite distinctly into the car came
a wharf of urine.
Right.
Human urine?
So that was that.
Distinct, human, slightly dehydrated urine.
Stale, you went wheeze in the middle of the night,
didn't flush the toilet, go back in the morning.
Yeah, and this has not been an issue.
I've had this car for maybe a month now,
and it has not been an issue.
I've not smelled it until that day, a few days ago.
Then the next day I got in, and there was that urine smell again.
And I thought, God, it wasn't mum.
She didn't wee herself.
I didn't wee myself.
Next day.
And yesterday I was driving and there was the smell of wheeze in my new car.
And I figured it out.
I reckon.
And I'm almost 100% sure these students.
Jesus. Have pissed in my air conditioning vent.
How do you piss in the air?
How do you do that?
I'm sure of it.
Right.
They have pissed their student nutrient deficient piss into my car air conditioning vent.
Where does the air conditioning vent happen?
I don't know, but they're pissed on it.
Because doesn't it come from...
I don't know.
Where else?
Where else?
They see me pull up.
They see me pull up in this.
They would have seen, oh, she got a new car.
Who does she think she is?
What kind of car is it?
A Mazda.
A Mazda.
Axilla.
Axilla.
Skyactiv Technology.
Okay. Skyactiv Technology. Okay.
Sky Active Technology.
What does that mean?
What is it?
What year?
It's just a little sporty.
Right.
It's just a little sporty model.
It's got blue sky on its leg.
It's a 2013.
Okay, 2013.
I'm going to see whereabouts your air conditioning intake.
Well, maybe if there are people listening that are familiar with air conditioning units
in Mazda,
Axela?
Axela, A-X-E-L-A.
Tell me, yes, tell me, where have they entered themselves to pee into my car?
Because there's no other reason for it.
But there was no, you couldn't see on the car if there was any, like, stains or wetness or...
I know, the car's really dirty because we've been living opposite this construction site.
Okay, which is another issue.
Which is another whole story.
We'll talk about that later.
Oh, my dude.
Yeah, they just sort of pissed on your windscreen.
And it's just below the windscreen.
So they would have stood on your car.
They stood on the bottom of your car
and just like,
take this!
They did!
I know they did.
There's no other reason for it.
It has not smelled at all.
And suddenly it smells
just after we may or may not have smashed a bottle up the driveway.
Could there have been a cat?
No, no, this is human urine.
And it's too much.
Of a coincidence.
It's too much of a coincidence.
Yeah.
So.
Yeah, someone said it's a classic.
Someone who works in air conditioning messaged and saying it's a classic.
Right.
Nico's called up.
You work or you know saying it's a classic. Right, we've had, Nico's called up, you work,
or you know that this is a thing.
Yeah, this actually happened to me.
What?
Like a month ago.
My goodness,
you don't know these students, do you?
No, it was actually my mates,
but actually now I'm thinking about it,
are they actually my mates?
Yeah, well exactly,
when you say it out loud like that.
So they stood on your car, urinated on the windscreen, and it went Yeah, well, exactly. When you say it out loud like that. So, they stood on your car,
urinated on the windscreen, and it went
through the vents. Correct.
And I'm still trying to get it out.
And I text him, like, every time I go to
my car, I still text him, and I'm like, bro,
it's all over the place.
Is there a puddle of it sitting
in the air? I don't know
anything, but I'm just trying to problem-solve
here. Yeah, well, I haven't
actually had a look.
I've tried to get under it
to get into it, and I'm not a car
man, so I don't know how to do it, but...
I mean, are we still on water restrictions?
Because I wonder if there's a way I can get one of those car
washers that bursts up under and just sort of
cleanse the whole system.
Yeah, or you could just park your car
up the drive and just blast the air con, you need some more you can just park your car up the drive and just
blast the aircon level your windows down and just have it going for an hour and might just like
could you get some fragranced water and kind of run that where they would have yeah some elderflower
why did they do this why did they do this to you nico okay so it's because first of all i peed on his
tire on his family wagon and he's like oh bro i'm gonna have to piss on your windscreen now
yeah right i didn't think that he'd do it like he's 90 kilo and i've only got a nissan teeter
and he just climbed up you had a 90kg lad on your Teeter bonnet.
You're lucky the whole thing didn't flip over on him.
A 90kg lad on a Teeter.
Nico, you have confirmed my suspicions because I was like,
actually, have I gone out of my mind?
But I'm so sure this is it and now you've confirmed it.
I guarantee it is correct.
Wow.
Okay, well, if anybody has any tips on how to fix that horrible student prank.
Well, when we finish work, I've got to go home.
I've got two hours until our flat inspection,
so I've got two hours to cause chaos for those students.
You also don't have any proof it's them.
I don't need proof.
This is a quiet cul-de-sac and they...
No, it's probably the tradies because you keep moving their cones.
You've got so many enemies, Sproul.
It's probably the guy that you've moved over the road from.
He followed you back to your old place and was like,
tell you to take me to number 7.
But the tradies are gone by 6pm.
They're gone by 6pm.
They can't have come in broad daylight and pissed on my bonnet.
It's the students and they will pay.
Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast. ZM. Friday Flashback. It's the students and they will pay.
Right.
This song's 10 years old.
That's the criteria.
It has to be at least 10 years old.
It's a third of my life, basically.
Love this song.
And it needs, it's got this in it.
It's got a real.
Which I think we need a head of the long-awaiting group, too.
Okay, we need a bit of energy.
We need a bit of energy.
Okay.
This song was also two times platinum in New Zealand and two times platinum in the United States.
Okay, so it's a big song.
Big song.
It was from an album called Sticks and Stones,
but I don't know if the Sticks and Stones did much else,
to be totally honest.
Okay.
When this came out in 2011,
the singer who is now,
they always list their names on,
the ages on Wikipedia.
Is she hiding her age?
She's hiding her age.
I think she was like 17 at the time
that this came out.
Okay.
It got to number three in the New Zealand charts.
It got to number one in the US.
It did better in the US than it did in the UK,
even though she is from the UK.
Outside of that, New Zealand loved this song more than any other nation.
Wow.
In Australia, it only got to number 36 on the charts.
Well, they had no taste.
No, no.
That's been shown through and through.
Canada, it got to 11, but that's the only ones.
Apart from the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, it got to 12.
From 10 years ago, from her album Sticks and Stones,
today's Friday flashback is Cher Lloyd, I Want You Back.
This is 10 years old.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
This part.
Wow.
Three, 2, 1
See them? With that other girl in town Lookin' like a pair of clowns, clowns, clowns
Remember all the things that you and I did first
And now you're doin' them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first
You got me, got me like this
Boy, you can say anything you wanna
I don't give a shit, no one else can have you
I want you back, I want you back
Don't, don't you, don't you back
Please, this ain't even jealousy
She ain't got a thing on me
Tryna rock them ugly jeans, jeans, jeans
You clearly didn't think this through
If what I've been told is true
You'll be crawling back like boo, boo, boo
Remember all the things that you and I did first
And now you're doing them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first
You got me, got me like this, like
Boy, you can say anything you wanna
I don't give a shit, no one else can have her
I want you back, I want you back
I want you, want you back
Ooh, I thought you'd still be mine
When I kissed you goodbye
Ooh, and you might be with her
But I still had you first
We used to be, but now it's a separation between you and me
Baby, I'm moving on to another girl that understands me more
Dates in front of your place so you can see it all
I remember the times when we used to bond
But I never realized that you wanted to be mine
So I gave her the ring instead of you, nickname too
I can tell that you're upset because it ain't you
Met a new girl and I came from my heart
Not noticing that you wanted
me from the very start you want me back we could just be friends or try to stay all over again I broke it off thinking you'd be crying Now I feel like looking at you crying
I want you back, I want you back
I want you back, I want you back
I want you back
Let me know
I want you back, I want you back
I want you back, I want you back
What, what, what?
Cher Lloyd, it's your Friday Flashback on ZM.
That song is now 10 years old.
It hurts.
And nobody believes it.
How the F word is this 10 years old?
Somebody said, if you'd asked me, I would have said this song was two years old tops.
Yeah.
And somebody said, my eight-year-old is looking at me in horror as I belt out my lyrics.
You've got to belt these out.
All right.
Is it time?
Yeah, let's do this, baby.
Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's

Well, now, can it be three in a row?
Vanessa, that is all up to you.
Okay, I'm just coming up
to the intersection with a red light.
Can you just hold on just one second?
One second, one second, Vanessa.
Whereabouts are you, Vanessa?
What intersection are you pulling up to?
I'm in Manukau City.
I'm just outside the mall.
Oh, okay.
Lots of cars around there.
Yeah, you don't want to be
turning at a red light.
People will start freaking out.
Lots of buses. Hold on, here we go. Okay, you don't want to be turning at a red light. People will start freaking out.
Lots of buses.
Hold on.
Here we go.
Okay, here we go.
It's embarrassing.

Oh, Vanessa.
A good toot from you, though.
A good toot. Do you want to give her another?
I know you're moving on.
Really good.
I'm going to Brianna.
We're going into, I believe, Brianna Newmarket in Auckland.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Okay, would you like to give us a long weekend group toot?
Yeah, I'll go now.
Okay.
Auckland.
Brooklyn.
No.
Auckland is dismally far.
Twice out, two different areas of Auckland.
Everyone's heads down, stuck on their phones.
Brianna, thank you for trying, Steve.
We'll get heads out of your ass, Auckland.
Ha ha!
Listen!
Steve in Waikato, whereabouts in Hamilton are you?
Uh, uh, Te Rapa, River Road.
Okay, all right.
River Road at the moment.
Oh, is it?
Oh, is it?
Are there any cars that you can see, Steve?
Yeah, there's a truck and a van in front of me,
and I think I can also see Navarra and Samantha.
Okay.
All right, well, when you're ready, Steve,
give us a long weekend group toot.
All right, here we go.
Here we go.
Boom! Oh, no. We started so strong.
With a hissing roar. And then we jinxed it by saying we've never started this strong.
And we've had three in a row fail.
So now we're running a two from five.
Chloe, Tauranga, good morning.
Oh, morning.
All right.
I think Tauranga is always good to us for the long weekend group.
Whereabouts in Todong are you?
I'm sitting at a red light on 15th Avenue.
Okay, let's do it.
Go for it.
Okay, ready?
Yep.
Yes!
Yes!

Yeah, okay.
All right, give us a toot.

And Hamilton, whereabouts?
So I'm just, again, coming up to Victoria Street.
Okay.
In the city.

I'm just looking at my stats sheet here.
Two callers from Hamilton this morning.
Neither of which have been successful.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
When you're ready.
When you're ready, Danielle.
Okay.
Come on. Okay. Come on.

They were right there.
That was good.
Thank you, Danielle.
On the board and some redemption there for Hamilton.
Let's see if we can get some redemption in Auckland.
Chanel, good morning.
Good morning.
All right, give us a long...
Whereabouts in Auckland?
I'm in Pakuranga Road.
Lots of cars around.
Okay, there's no excuse.
There's no excuse. There's no excuse.
There's lots of traffic.
I'm feeling positive.
All right, when you're ready,
give us a long weekend group toot.
Yes!
That's nice.
That's nice.
Good, good, good.
That's nice.
You're on the board.
All right, thank you, Chanel.
Let's go to Jess at New Plymouth,
where coincidentally we are hosting our Bangers Bingo this Thursday at the Good Homes.
We just see your team at ZM Online.
Good morning, Jess.
Good morning.
All right.
Hold on, Jess.
I just want to give you some stats.
We're currently running at 5 from 11.
So if you can see all this, we're running at a 50% success rate, okay?
And also our first caller from New Plymouth this morning,
putting New Plymouth at a 100% strike rate,
should you successfully receive a toot back. But there's no pressure. Whereabouts in New Plymouth this morning, putting New Plymouth at a 100% strike rate, should you successfully receive a toot back.
But there's no pressure.
Whereabouts in New Plymouth are you?
I'm just pulling up to Boys, like the Boys High.
I'm hoping there's going to be a stoppage at the pedestrian.
That would be great.
And there is.
Okay, get into it.
Go for it.
All right.
Yes!
Oh, the fuck?
It was a definitive reply.
Jess, the wind muffled your toot a little bit,
but we heard it there,
and then we heard the definitive reply.
Oh, yeah, the reply was loud and clear, Jess.
100% for New Plymouth.
Now, we've had 12 callers.
Six out of 12.
50% success rate.
Do we want to recoup? Have a small break for oranges. 50% success rate. Do we want to recoup?
Have a small break for oranges?
I believe, yeah.
Let's have an orange break.
Do we want to call half-time?
We're going to call half-time.
Come back after this song with a few more.
See if we can get the Long Weekend Group Tweet on the board.
Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's Long Weekend Group Tweet.
I'm waiting for it.
That group tweet.
I want it.
Welcome back to the second half of a long weekend, Group 2.
We've had a Powerade or a Gatorade.
Who sponsors us?
LucasAid.
LucasAid.
You mentioned our two major competitors.
I do apologise for mentioning our two major competitors.
LucasAid.
We are.
Great.
Fantastic. Yeah. Brilliant. Huge shout out by LucasAid. We are. Great. Fantastic.
Brilliant. Huge shout out to LucasAid.
Massive shout out to our sponsors
LucasAid. We've
replenished our electrolytes and
we are ready to go for round
two of the long weekend group two. Currently, if you've
joined us, we are at about... We're at 50%.
We're at 50% after the first half.
Six from 12. If I have a quick look,
100% strike rate from New Plymouth.
Hamilton and Auckland had a shocking start with zero attempts,
but the last two callers from both those provinces redeemed the areas.
Christchurch, we've only heard from you once,
but you are batting at 100% strike rate, and same with Tauranga.
Fantastic.
And we did mention during the breakout live stream
that we do need to set up a spreadsheet. Yes. For previous long weekend group tours.
I've just had a text message from the CEO, Bogsy, who said, I can whip up a spreadsheet for you.
Oh, fantastic.
He knows his way around.
He's not trying for that sort of thing.
He would for us.
He's the kind of CEO he is.
And a big golder to our UK.
People are watching in the UK.
They need this.
They're in lockdown, baby.
They're in lockdown.
It's cold.
It's lockdown.
It's miserable. Let's lockdown. It's miserable.
Let's go now to Angela in Auckland.
Angela, it hasn't been a great long weekend group tour for Auckland so far,
but we'll try now.
Whereabouts are you?
I'm on Packeringa Road in Packeringa,
just outside St. Kenton College,
and I've just come up to a red light.
Oh, okay.
Let's go.
I'm probably going to get an Audi horn back then.
Let's roll, baby.
Okay, ready?
Yep.
Ready.
Ready.
Yeah, I got one.
Stuff them, stuff them.
What?
You got one?
I got one.
Yes, I got one.
Did you not hear it?
We didn't hear a thing.
Let's go again, Angela.
Let's get that phone right out the window when you toot.
Angela, toot again.
Okay, ready?
Yep.
Go.
Okay.
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
We're going again!
I love how excited you are for that, Angela.
Well done, Angela.
That's brilliant.
On the long weekend on the sport, Angela,
Stephanie and Whangarei, good morning.
Oh, hi.
I'm going to be quick because I'm just about to pull into my car park.
Go for it.
Go for it.
No. I think you'd lost before you'd even tooted.
I doubt your voice was riddled with doubt.
Also, a nice flex at you at You've Got a Car Park.
Yeah.
Whenever anyone else has to walk a couple of blocks.
I'm right behind someone going into my car park too,
but he'll probably think I'm dead.
They didn't reply.
And they didn't reply.
Well, screw them.
Okay, we're back to 50%.
Modi, good morning.
Hello?
Mori.
Mori, you there?
Mori?
No, I just popped on hold.
Do you want to just check in? Maybe
their line's dropped out.
Janae and Isabella, good morning.
Hello.
Now, you're in New Plymouth.
We've had one from one from New Plymouth.
Yeah, great day for New Plymouth.
Would you like to give us a long weekend group toot?
Yes, all right.
Okay.
Get into it.
Are we taking that?
Yeah!
It was an absolute shambles.
I don't know who was turning out of Janai or Isabella,
but you guys need to sort your shit out.
You're an embarrassment. Yeah, sorry.
Work out your rhythm a little bit, babe.
Don't say sorry to me.
Say sorry to his kids.
Okay.
We'll take that.
New Plymouth.
Absolute.
Yeah, I think you guys are showing a little bit of hometown favouritism there.
Letting that one roll.
Yeah, I'll give that a.5.
I'll allow it.

I think after you, we're going to do two more.
I'm literally just about to pull up to the light.
Okay.
So I think this could be good.
I'll give you a little bit of stats while we wait for you to get to those lights.
We know that cockiness doesn't win.
Be humble.
Okay, all right.
I'm just pulling up right now.
Yep, go.
We're going to give it a go.
Okay, yep. Oh, someone just did it.
Don't pass.
We didn't hear him.
You're going to have to put the phone out the window.
We've got to hear it.
Yep.
Yes!
Good, Hastings.
We'll take it.
Good.
You had a cute little horn, Taylor.
Yeah, that is cute. You can't'll take it. Good. You had a cute little horn, Taylor. Yeah, that is cute.
Oh, thanks.
You can't talk to women like that.
Give us another tune of your cute little horn.

Let's go to Dunedin.
This is our first Dunedin tune.

So to hit that magical 50% mark,
we need this.
Okay, Kelly and Ashton in Tauranga.
Good morning.
No pressure.

Yeah, Wellington represented.
Tauranga hit and miss there.
Did we get any Auckland?
Vanessa, early on, she failed.
We got Auckland.
Angela from Auckland, she was a success.
But there was lots of Auckland failures.
Chanel, you'll remember just before the break,
she was an Auckland success as well.
But other than that, it was a bit dry for Auckland.
Pretty good.
Going through a toot drought.
A toot drought.
Well, luckily we're not too far away from the next long weekend, are we?
Yes.

The clothing.
Oh, no, that's just...
Is that outdoor clothing?
Swazi.
Oh, yes.
What is that?
You see, like, farmers wearing it, and they're like,
good, mate.
Swan dry?
Nah, there's another one.
No, I do know.
Swazi, yeah.
Swazi, that's New Zealand clothing.
Swazi.
There's hunting and fishing. They do that camouflage polar fleece top. Yeah, there's a rod and gun. Yeah, there's another one. No, I do know. Swazi. Swazi. That's New Zealand. Swazi. There's hunting and fishing.
They do that camouflage polar fleece top.
Yeah, there's a rod and gun.
Yeah, there's Swazi.
There's Ridgeline.
Yep.
That's that one.
You can get a pink camo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In case you wanted to hide amongst a bunch of marshmallows.
Yeah, or road workers.
Yeah, they won't be able to find you.
Aren't they so that you don't get shot while you're hunting?
Yeah.
Oh, probably. Yeah. Yeah. The deer are all laughing at you. Yeah, they won't be able to find you. Aren't they so that you don't get shot while you're hunting? Yeah. Oh, probably.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The deer are all laughing at you.
Yeah, they are.
Look at this idiot.
Yeah, mid-pink.
Anyway.
Who's laughing now, deer?
Run, Bambi, run.
So it's about Swaziland.
Rules came into place in 2013 where witches are not allowed to fly their broomsticks above the 150 metre off the ground limit.
That is airspace that falls under the CAA, Civil Aviation Authority.
Swaziland got on board with this and said, yeah, so your drones,
your helicopters,
your non-registered aircraft,
and of course,
witches on brooms.
No one goes above 150 metres.
And everyone was like,
okay, deal.
And then I'm guessing
maybe an international journalist
was like,
um, what?
That last one.
What was the last one?
It sounded like you said witches.
Like, with this rule, you're taking into account modern technology.
Yeah.
And aeroplanes and drones.
Yes, correct.
And you still believe, these people making the rules,
that witches fly on broomsticks and even exist.
Yes, yes.
Right, okay.
Right.
Isn't the broomstick idea a Disney thing?
I don't know where the origins of the witches on broomsticks situation comes from.
Well, you carry on and we'll figure that out.
Okay.
I'll give you a little bit more information.
Apparently, when illustrating his point, he also used the broomstick,
a traditional Swazi broomstick, which is like not what we'd consider a broom.
Not from Briscoe's.
Not from your Mitre 10 Mega. I didn't know you could get brooms anywhere
else, to be honest. But more of your
traditional stick with smaller sticks
tied on the end
just to, you know, get the stuff out of you.
Right. Just a quick Google
the historical depiction of witches
running broomsticks has its origins in
hallucinogenic plant pharmacology.
Some dude was tripping balls.
I was just about to say that.
Yeah, and images of witches
on brooms date back to 1451
with two illustrations
in a French poet's book.
1451, eh?
Not a good year for witches.
No.
Not a good year.
That was when they were busted,
seen, locked in,
and then hunted a long time afterwards.
Swaziland, it doesn't say they, like, hunt them
or being a witch is a bad thing,
but if they're going to be flying brooms,
they've got to stay below the 150-metre airspace.
Right, and probably stay away from airports, like drone rules.
Oh, certainly, certainly.
Don't go near an airport on a broomstick.
You get sucked right into the jet engine.
That's today's fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Producer Jared though
shared something with us
rather intimately this morning
Yeah he's changed up his sleeping
routine
and he said it's revolutionised his life
Sometimes you need a bit of a shake up
Sometimes I'll get a new pillow
I'm out there, I'm wild, I'm pretty rock and roll
Have you just recently got a new
Were you talking about new pillows recently?
Or did your wife get a new pillow?
No, we're talking about new pillows.
We are thinking of investing in some new pillows.
Because we talked about getting new mattresses,
which we said between six to eight years,
you should be changing the mattress.
But now I'm freaking out because I don't want to spend all that money
without sleeping on it first.
Yeah, you want to do a try.
Yeah, and pillows are the same because they're not cheap either. If you get a good pillow, memory foam or like... You can lie sleeping on it first. Yeah, you want to do a try. Yeah, and pillows are the same because they're not cheap either.
If you get a good pillow.
Yeah.
Memory foam or like.
You can lie down on it.
Yeah.
But how long are they supposed to last until you hurt your neck?
Also, I like the idea of those pillows with the slip,
the little layers of foam you can take out to get your right height.
Oh, yeah, those are good.
Those are good.
Add or remove.
But it's not about bedding as such or pillows or bed
that has revolutionised producer Jared's life.
What is it, Jared?
I've ditched the pyjamas, guys.
You're a nude sleeper.
I'm a rooty-nooty.
Oh, you're butt naked.
What did you go from?
When you say your pyjamas, what were you sleeping in?
Just a pair of jocks.
Right.
All right, so it wasn't a huge step to her.
It wasn't a big step, but, man, I feel it.
Are you saying jocks as in you're talking All right, so it wasn't a huge step to her. It wasn't a big step, but, man, I feel it.
Are you saying jocks as in you're talking wire front traditional jockey briefs or boxers?
The one that looks like shorts but real tight.
Yeah, okay, yeah. Boxer briefs.
We call those boxer briefs in the industry.
Yeah, it keeps you nice and tight, but you can still breathe.
Support.
Now, has this coincided with the fact that you've now got a midi
because now there's two humans in the bed and it's getting hot.
How often are you doing sleepovers?
How many nights a week are there sleepovers?
She stays over most weekends, like the whole weekend.
Yeah.
Right.
How much are in the week?
Nah, she stayed over last week for a long weekend.
You've got to get up at 4 a.m.
Yeah.
Who wants that, you know?
Yeah.
Now, I've done this for years because I was like you.
I was the same.
Always slept in summer.
I'd sleep in my jocks, my undies.
And in winter, undies and a t-shirt.
And then I just went nude winter, summer, all year round.
And it is amazing.
So are we showing our privilege that we live in houses that are warm enough to sleep in?
Well, mine certainly needs a bit of heating and winterboard.
I wouldn't say I'm living in like the most...
The tropical.
You're not living in a glass house.
And so when you get up to go to the toilet, nudies, because I'm not a nudie.
Well, I live by myself, so I get up and walk naked to the toilet.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Is it funny?
Okay, but no matter if I...
Okay, so here's the thing.
If I have people stay over in the spare room, like I've got guests staying, I'll wear my boxes to bed
because I don't want to have to get up.
I'll just get up out of habit for a wheeze.
I don't want to run into them.
That would be awkward.
It would be really awkward.
Or have a fire emergency.
Gerard, what are some of the benefits
that you've been experiencing?
Let's hear them.
Well, when I was wearing my boxer briefs,
there was a certain area of the body
that was always warm.
The old CMBs. The gooch. Oh, right. I wasn't sure if I was wearing my boxer briefs, there was a certain area of the body that was always warm.
The old CMBs. The gooch.
The gooch.
I wasn't sure if I was allowed to say it.
Very specific.
Is that the gooch?
Yeah.
Scientific term.
It's a scientific term.
Does it get hot in your undies?
Gooch, is it not?
Perineum.
Oh, no, I'm thinking of weenus.
That's a scientific term.
That's your elbow skin.
That's your elbow skin.
Not sexy at all, the weenus.
By the way, I've got a lot of dryness on both my ween eyes.
I've got some nicer moisturiser you could use. Thank you. Is it weenus. By the way, I've got a lot of dryness on both my ween eyes. I've got some nicer
moisturiser you could use. Thank you. Is it weenus-specific
moisturiser? No, no, no, it's just
intensive. Oh, thank you.
Rosskin Skin Repair. Sorry, back to the benefits.
My gooch isn't as sweaty at night time anymore,
which is good. I'm worried about the fact that it was
sweaty enough that you'd notice. Oh,
not majorly sweaty. It's not like dripping,
but it's... Oh, far out.
We went there.
Now, okay, so we ran a poll.
We run a poll on our Instagram.
Thousands of responses.
Do you sleep naked?
35% say yes, 65% no.
Yeah.
That really surprises me.
I just feel a little...
I don't know what it is about it.
I just feel not as held, not as comfortable.
Yeah, I've got children, but I've always slept in underpants.
But if you have children, it's even more so because sometimes you wake up
and they'll be like right over you being like, what's for breakfast?
Or do your children get into your bed?
Not so much.
Not anymore?
Not so much. You know, you can't do that once you get kids. Yeah, you do your children get into your bed? Not so much. Not anymore? Not so much.
No, you can't do that once a week.
But no, yeah, you don't want to.
And just the tanglement.
What do you do about your tangle?
What do you do when you roll over?
You'd have to do a manual readjust.
Whereas if they're packed into the box of briefs,
they're not whipping everywhere.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't have a tangle problem.
Yeah, no no Awkward
