Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Vaughan and Megan with Hayley Sproul Podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Download the Maccas app to get McCafe rewards today. And we're just currently shoe shopping, aren't we? We're online browsing. We're hoping to, once the show finishes, get out of this bloody boring meeting. Let us free!
Starting point is 00:00:19 And just go shoe shopping. Yeah, and we're actually going to buy matching shoes. This is the stage our relationship has got into at this point. We've gone from matching gym going to buy matching shoes. This is the stage our relationship has gotten to at this point. We've gone from matching gym programs to some matching shoes. Vaughn's not on board because they're more than $100. Are they? For those shoes? You guys are overpaying.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Do you know how much shoes are? Do you know how expensive a pair of shoes are? Those shoes are white. You're buying white shoes? They're going to be fucked by the end of the week. No, they won't. You can just keep them clean. No, I can't do that.
Starting point is 00:00:45 I've got to have a dark shoe. No idea. What I love about the organisation of this is that when we finish this, we've got like 15 minutes until we're going to have this meeting. And you're like, we'll just pop out then and go and grab them. So you think that we can go for a walk down like three streets, both go into a shoe shop. That, by the way, isn't open yet.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Both try on shoes. What time does it open? 10am. Oh fuck. Both try on a pair of shoes, decide if we like them, choose the colour that we want to get,
Starting point is 00:01:12 come back and then be ready for the meeting. Well maybe tomorrow. Ambitious. Maybe before our gym class tomorrow we're going to get some matching shoes.
Starting point is 00:01:21 God are you guys lesbians now? Well again, didn't someone message you asking if we were in a relationship? Yeah, that's the show's secret, that Fletch and Hayley are in a relationship. No, it's because that's Caitlin and I together. That's the show's secret, isn't it? Well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Well, she's gone, so you've moved on to you. Who's this Caitlin bitch? I don't know. Yeah, exactly. I feel threatened. ZM. Head music. Lives here.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. The podcast. Koda, good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Kolder, good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan with Hayley Sproul. Yes. Vaughan's just had a no talking. I'm just coming off a 10 minutes of no talking.
Starting point is 00:01:54 In forced silence. In forced silence. Because I was telling everybody about the Khaleesi virus. This was a virus that was released against the government's wishes to kill the rabbits. Because there's a rabbit resurgence in the South Island and I screamed, re-release the Khaleesi virus. And then needed to explain it to the young'uns. What was it?
Starting point is 00:02:15 What was it? A 90s thing? It was like 2000s. Late 90s, early 2000s. Yeah. And then they said, oh, there's this virus that'll wipe out a lot of the rabbit population. And was it like Doc? Biodiversity New Zealand people were like, oh, there's this virus that will wipe out a lot of the rabbit population. And was it like Doc? Biodiversity New Zealand people were like, oh, no, let's find out a different way.
Starting point is 00:02:31 And these farmers were like, too late. They smuggled it in up their bums. This literally, before you turned up, because we're always here before you, I was talking about... That was a good, that was really pass-ag. I like that. I was talking about the fact that I sort of want a bunny rabbit. As a pet.
Starting point is 00:02:49 As a pet. As a growing woman. Worst pet. They can get like a fright or a brisk wind can kill them. Oh, I love... They're so cute. There's a girl I follow on Instagram and she's got a pet one. Though I do want to say she hasn't posted about it for a while.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Dead. It's dead. It's dead. It's dead. They're always keeling over. But they're so sweet. Imagine just I don't know what noise they make. You've got a cat, don't you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:14 He's so sweet. Someone attacked my cat. Rolly would eat your rabbit. Rolly would eat the rabbit. He's a predator. He loves anything. They're not gonna. Native birds included. But get him released back into the wild in the South Island and maybe he could wipe out a few of these feral rabbits. Yeah, he is slowing down though.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Honestly, when we first got Raleigh, it was like rats, mice, lizards, birds every single night. And now he's a bit lazy. Fat, fat lazy cat. Yeah, it's defrosting mints from next door. Hot chicken from up the road. He's just, you know, he's really embracing that modern cat life. He's into the finer things in life now.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Add to cart today is back. Eight o'clock and Hayley today. It's all items that you've picked that we have to give away. I'm really excited about this. Did the person that were in my car, were they suitably froth? Throffing? I didn't catch. They were throughing.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Were they? I don't know. Can we get audio of their throughing? Yeah. You've won I don't know. Can we get audio of their throughing? Yeah. You've won a Lego Defender. Yeah, well, we'll see what else is on the list. And then if they're adequately throughing. All right, well, the first item is coming up at 8 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:04:15 You've got to be listening throughout the day. Add every single item to that card. Tell us what the items are if you get through at 5 this afternoon with Bree and Clint and you win all of it. The top six is coming up. Bill Gates, single and ready to mingle with your genitals. You know, my favorite tweet about the divorce yesterday was somebody said, Bill showed Melinda windows and she showed him the door. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:04:42 That is the biggest dad, mum and dad joke. That's not a my God. That is the biggest mum and dad joke. That is not a dad joke. That is a very sophisticated joke. That's a very sophisticated joke. It's 100% over. My dad tells it to me this weekend. Windows is on the computer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Windows in that joke has a double meaning. I think you've missed it, Vaughn. You've missed the double meaning. Windows has a double meaning in there. I know. I saw it. Sometimes Vaughn doesn't get the intricate humor. He doesn't get it. The intricate humor. Yeah't get intricate humour. He doesn't get it.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Intricate humour, yeah. Look at him, he doesn't get it. This high-end stuff's a bit below me. Why did Belinda and Bill separate? Because he did a fart on her face. See, that's more my level. No, that's more my level. Yeah, right, that's childish.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Childish is bullshit. I don't think he's getting the Windows reference. No, I know, yeah. You know, like Windows 98 and NT and Windows XP? Also Windows as in the windows of a house. Did he have something to do with that?
Starting point is 00:05:30 Did he? Oh, I see. Well, anyway. Many layers to this. They're divorcing and no prenup. No. Wow. But she's been with him for 27 years married.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Gold digger. Gold digger. No. Absolute gold digger. She's an absolute. She's put in 26 years. This was her goal. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Yeah. She was with someone. She had kids with them, set up like charitable foundations with them, but she's just a money hungry bitch. No, I think we're all joking there. Fletch, he hates women. No, I was. Again, you didn't get the humour there.
Starting point is 00:06:04 It was sarcastic humour that time. He doesn't even get sarcasm. I was. Again, you didn't get the humour there. Oh, you were being sarcastic. He doesn't even get sarcasm. I know. That's unbelievable. Sorry, guys. I'm such a dumbass. But I got the top six features of Bill Gates' new dating profiles because he's going to need to get out there.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Yeah, right. Coming up on the show next. E-sports. If anyone ever told you, you know, get off the computer and go get a job, earn some money. Turns out you should stay on the computer to earn some money. I know. We should have spent after school. Should have just been PlayStation, PlayStation, PlayStation.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Games, games, games, games. Game Boy games. Some money these guys are earning is insane. Fleshforn and Megan. The podcast. ZM. I'm just having a look at these figures and it's mind blowing. So, e-sports, which is now, it's like a whole world, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:06:49 Yeah. Heck yeah. Far out. Well, they reckon it's not going to be long until eSports are at the Olympic Games, right? See, I take conundrum with that. But they don't need the Olympics. Do you know what I mean? Like they don't need the Olympics.
Starting point is 00:07:03 But then, you know, it's the top of your... I don't know why, like, why does surfing care about the Olympics? It's a sport. Yeah, it's a sport, but who cares? They're already making enough... Marching's going to become an Olympic sport. See, marching's more of an Olympic sport. It's not, though, because it's New Zealand only.
Starting point is 00:07:21 So you wouldn't compete against any other country. Gold medal. Shield wins. Gold, silver, bronze. Yeah. New Zealand, New Zealand, New Zealand. It's more of a traditional sport that needs... It's competing. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:07:33 it was funny talking about the surfing at the thing because it's so dependent on nature as well. Yeah. I don't know why surfers don't seem like the sort of people that would give two shits about the Olympics. So I don't know why everyone's falling over themselves to be an Olympic sport. Well, I mean, it's no surprise now that esporters,
Starting point is 00:07:51 gamers, I'm clearly not one, esporter gamers, they can earn quite a bit of money. And esportsearnings.com has released its info around how much gamers are making. So Aotearoa's top eSport earner is Gratisfaction. I hate that. Is that his user? No judgment on the name.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Yeah, right. So Gratisfaction, whose real name is Sean Kaiwai, he has earned $165,000 from winning at a game, at Counter-Strike Global Offensive. One game. He made that from one game. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:08:35 $165,000. Do you remember when Fortnite first happened and then they had the big champs? Yeah. The big first Fortnite world champs pre-COVID. And didn't some 10-year-old won it or something? No, how old was he, Jared? He was young.
Starting point is 00:08:48 He was a teenager. He was a teenager. He was a young end of the teenage spectrum as well. He won $6 million. Do you know, I want to know what his NCEA results are, though. It doesn't matter. Who cares? It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:09:02 I'm just saying. But that's the thing. Your parents could be like come home after work and you're on your computer or the PlayStation or Xbox and they're like, get off that. It's going to amount, you're going to be a loser. And yet, literally, the highest
Starting point is 00:09:16 overall earnings, $6.974 million US. That is the top earner in the esports world. Yeah, but that's like saying, I'm going to be a rock and roll superstar playing a guitar.
Starting point is 00:09:32 It's like, yeah, just because someone out there is making millions of dollars doing it, it doesn't mean everybody can. Or the next top golfer, just because you get some golf clubs. Yeah. My mum would tell you, you've got to have realistic expectations and then tell you to get back to work because it's going to be easier to get a middle of the road
Starting point is 00:09:47 job with qualifications than 24 hours in one day of Fortnite. It's absolutely like millions and millions and millions of dollars of earnings. The top three earners have earned $151 million between them. As producer Jared has just sent through though, that's prize money.
Starting point is 00:10:03 That's not endorsements and when they do streaming and they do advertising. So that's like clocking a game and doing it. Clocking a game? You know, like That's when you get to the last level and Mario rescues Peach. You get all the jewels. You get your check. You've picked up all the gems and you've clocked the game. You've gone supersonic
Starting point is 00:10:20 in a way you don't. But it's from like one game, right? Like they just dominate and rule one game. Yeah, that's the kind of vibe is you pick your game that you're going to. But then they get these crazy endorsements just like sports people. Yeah. Adidas, you need some good sneakers when you're tapping at the keys. I don't think it's an endorsement deal for sneakers.
Starting point is 00:10:37 I think it's like beanbags, chairs. You can't sit in a beanbag. You've got to have a good chair. Good chair, gaming chair. The headsets. A lot of energy drink sponsors A lot of energy drink sponsors In the esports world
Starting point is 00:10:48 Yeah you need Pure sugar Coursing through your veins For that movement And they're always like Dark Those rooms They're like little hovels
Starting point is 00:10:57 I watched a guy that was Vitamin D There was a Gaming documentary On Netflix It was a series And there was the competitive Korean competitive
Starting point is 00:11:06 video game teams. And they like, it's full blown. They do boot camps and stuff for fitness and mental alertness and reaction times. Really? Yeah, this kid had the equivalent, this teenager had the equivalent reaction times of like Lewis Hamilton, the Formula One driver.
Starting point is 00:11:22 And that was what was going to be his strength on the team. He was super quick at reacting. And that was what was going to be his strength on the team. He was super quick at reacting. And one of them was like a tactician. So what's the, I'm not trying to take the piss, but what's the desired outcome? To be the best in the world. And then what?
Starting point is 00:11:38 Earn heaps of money? Well, it's like being the best in the world at anything. You just keep gaming? That's your career? I guess so. But then you... Yes. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:47 So Jared's also messaged in. They've got hand warmers they use between rounds so their hands don't warm down. Don't cramp down, yeah. Imagine the physio coming out just doing your hands. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:57 You know, like, they come out of the rugby field, they do your legs and everything. Back in my day, I'd sit at a computer with the lights off. You did your own hand warming. You're not winning $1.9 million for that, mate.
Starting point is 00:12:09 You're going old school, yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Guys, yesterday I got free money. That is my favourite kind of money. That's my favourite kind. Like, not since I found $5 on Queen Street in Auckland have I had free money. I was like, oh my God, this is great.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I mean, it was probably mine in the first place, according to this news story, because yesterday my ASB account, I just had $135 pop up. Oh. Just pop in. Was it an error? No, so no, it wasn't a monopoly.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Was it $10 million and you took off to China? No. Was it bank error in your favor, collect $100? So I did some digging. And if you're an ASB customer, and I think this has happened to some other banks as well, ASB are paying $8.1 million to customers for responsible lending failures
Starting point is 00:12:59 after a Commerce Commission investigation and settlement. So I think because my home loans with them, they didn't send some forms or something or tell me about a change. And so they've been pinged. And I think if you had a home loan or a loan or any kind of lending with them and this involved you,
Starting point is 00:13:19 then they will just give you the money. Either $135 or I think it was $70. Either of the two amounts. I'll take $135. Yeah, so it was $68 and that's 26,000 people in New Zealand getting that. And 47,000 are getting $135. I got $350 from my bank. What?
Starting point is 00:13:41 On the 5th of March. It just said goodwill payment. So they screwed up as well I don't know what that means Yeah I got one from ANZ as well It was some kind of Error like a
Starting point is 00:13:53 Like a You know Account charging error Or something Right It was like 100 and something bucks Well there you go Well if you're with ASB
Starting point is 00:14:01 Yeah you could You could have some free money Yeah It's fantastic What are you going to do If you're free money Because this is This is money that didn free money. Yeah. What are you going to do with your free money? Because this is money that didn't exist. I know.
Starting point is 00:14:07 So I'm just like, well, what do I do? A treat. A treat. A treat? Yeah. Lollies. Well, we were noticing your sneakers before. They were getting a little bit holey.
Starting point is 00:14:16 See, sneakers are good on the top a little bit. There's a little hole coming. Just a pinch. But on the bottom, the sole's wearing through. Yeah. But you don't normally see that. Are these shoes that you would exercise in? No. Yeah, no, you don't want that because they're not supporting anything
Starting point is 00:14:29 at this point. No. So maybe new shoes. New shoes. Yeah, maybe new shoes. What about a massage? What did you do with your free money? It's just there. It's mortgage money. It just gets mixed up into the ever depleting. God, you're so boring. Go and spend it on lollies. No, I allocate my money. I go mixed up into the... Right. Ever depleting. God, you're so boring.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Go and spend it on lollies. No, it's... I allocate my money. I go like... I'm like, compartmentalise it. Be like, that's the free money that doesn't matter. I can burn that. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yeah, no, I'm just waiting for them to come for this goodwill money back. I'm a little wary. Oh, right. You don't think you deserve this money? Oh, look, I deserve everything. Well, Hayley spent hers. Yeah, I'm not, nah.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I'm straight online, like, what dress is $135? Oh, God. I'll get that. All right. I'll buy that now. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Well, it's one of my favourite Pacific Island destinations, so you all get in line, please, because...
Starting point is 00:15:24 Muroroa Atoll in line, please, because... Muroroa Atoll. Oh, yeah, I love Muroroa. You love that. The Bikini Atolls as well. I'm a massive fan of anywhere where there was a horrendous amount of French-based nuclear testing. You really come back from your holiday glowing.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I love you. Seriously, seriously do. I love the thought of, you know, back in the day, French officials were like, my God, this is the most beautiful place in the world. Bury bombs here and set them off, please. Let's destroy things. I know. What was the thinking, eh?
Starting point is 00:15:55 French. I don't know. At least Russia did it in their own backyard. Russia went to the most desolate, shitty place they had, and they were like, we do it here. This feels right. We build bomb test station right here. French were like, oui, oui, it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Let's bomb it. But no, I'm not speaking of the Muroroa Atoll or the Bikini Islands, the Bikini Atoll. I'm talking about the Cook Islands. Yes. And so what, 10, 11 days away from a travel bubble. They just announced it and it's coming soon, two weeks away. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:29 And there's been some insane increase in the amount of searches because that's like, we were talking about it yesterday. Was it you that said, would you rather go to Australia or the Pacific Islands when the bubble's open? Yeah, I did, yeah. I said Pacific Islands. Australia is just another like hotter, more racist New Zealand. The Cook Islands.
Starting point is 00:16:50 I love the culture, the people, the food. Yeah. Experience the scenery. And see, you can easily do two weeks on an island or a week on an island. I get bored. I am born for relaxing on an island. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:04 It's a bit of a shame because the coldest season in Raro is June to August. It's still not that cold, though. Not cold for us, though. No, it's dry. Yeah, that's good. So yesterday, because of this news, searches increased. Yeah, like four bajillion percent. 4,000, I believe.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I believe it was just 4,000. I was one of those. Were you? Yeah, as soon as Four thousand, I believe. I can't believe it was just four thousand. I was one of those. Were you? Yeah, as soon as it happened, I just looked at my calendar. I was like, there's some potential dates. Put them in. Had a look. It wasn't too expensive considering. Right. Flights and accommodation? Yeah, I just put in random dates. I didn't look for any deals or
Starting point is 00:17:40 anything like that. And it was like six something. $600. Yeah. For a holiday to Raro was like six something. $600. Yeah. For a holiday to Raro. Just the flight, $600. Or Anacom. Am I out of touch?
Starting point is 00:17:52 No, no, no. No, that's really good. I thought that was quite good. That would be just flights for like, yeah, during, I think. Oh, just flights. Just flights. I think that's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:17:59 I mean, on special, you might've got there for like 400 bucks. Yeah. Pre-COVID. My fiance Aaron has family over there. They own a house. They live over there. That's my dream.
Starting point is 00:18:08 So free accommodation? Well, I'd have to talk to Canada, yeah. I can't wait to be the fat, leathery old white guy that's got an unknown connection to the Cook Islands. Don't call my fiancé a fat, leathery old white guy. No, Vaughn means that. Vaughn means that. I said, I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:18:25 This is the love of my damn life. Now, you know when you go to a tropical island and there's a weird old white fat guy and you're like, he's been there for 30 years. Because you can't own land in the Cook Islands unless you have direct Cook Island ancestry. Yeah, Aaron's family are Cook Islanders.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Yeah. So, again, he doesn't fit the bill because he's very broad-shouldered, whereas the older I get, the more rounded my shoulders are getting. And he won't be leathery and old white. He'll tan up beautifully. I'm going to be the guy running some weird thing, and people will be like, where did you get all your motorbikes from? And I'll be like, do you want to ride the motorbikes or no?
Starting point is 00:19:05 You go up the dirt path, you go around the end. I don't know. I don't know if you're cut out for tourism. You don't deal with people well. And if I'm going to town, I'll give all the local lads a ride on the back of my weird little truck. You know the weird little truck that looks like a little van that's just had the back cut off?
Starting point is 00:19:19 Oh, my God, I miss the island. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. From the majestic ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Hi there. Today's top six. Bill Gates, he's back. Well, he's not back dating yet. We're just, you know, taking the next step for him
Starting point is 00:19:38 and making it absolutely okay to be a 60-something billionaire who wants to get out there and find another true love, you know? Yeah. It's hard. But I read yesterday, this is what I was telling you about before, he had a relationship before Melinda with a woman. He broke up with her. But then when he got with Melinda, he said,
Starting point is 00:20:01 this is something every year I need to have a weekend away with her. And we need to go. When they were together. With his ex. They'd go away to this like country cottage because they went to the same country cottage every year for like a weekend. And he's like, it's just a tradition. There'll be nothing romantic. You can come if you want.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Yeah. I'd prefer if you didn't. But if that's going to be the deal breaker, you can totally come. We're just going to hang out because this is like a tradition we established. And apparently she was like, okay. What? There is no way most people would let that. Would you let that fly, Hayley?
Starting point is 00:20:34 If Greg Rover from Nova, your fiance, was like, I've got to carry on this tradition at a batch down in Fongamentar. I think I'd be like, maybe early on in the relationship, be like, that's fine. But do we like ease it out? You know what I mean? Like phase that right out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Well, he probably didn't, did he? Anne Wilblad was his ex, right? Yeah. They get to keep one vacation tradition alive every spring, as they have for more than a decade. They spend a long weekend with Winblad at the Beach Cottage in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where they ride dune buggies, hang glide, just chucked in there quite casually, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:21:11 Why can't he do this with his wife? Have a fun getaway and go hang gliding. Maybe she was anti-hang gliding, which you should be because that's crazy. You're holding on to a kite and jumping off a mountain. I don't trust myself to hang glide. That'd be so much fun fun though, wouldn't it? You crazy bananas. I've done paragliding.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Which one's that? That's where you get strapped in with someone. No, that's paraponting, isn't it? I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, that's paraponting. Paragliding's fixed. And what's parasailing?
Starting point is 00:21:44 Parasailing's up behind a boat. Oh, yeah, yeah. So maybe it's paraponting. What's paraponting? I think it's the same. Is it? But just a different name. What's the one where you're fixed in?
Starting point is 00:21:53 Only there was some kind of search engine. A hang glider. The sport of cross-country gliding. Oh, is paraponting the one where you strap a lawnmower on your back? No, no. Paraponting is you're just, you're're just, it's basically a glider. A parachute. You launch yourself off the summit of a mountain and glide back to the valley.
Starting point is 00:22:12 But it's not a fixed wing. It's a chute, right? It's a chute. That's the one where you catch the wind gusts. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, thanks for joining us this morning. Just talking about wind sports.
Starting point is 00:22:25 All of them get smashed into the side of cliffs and never end well. Those people that do kiteboarding and it's blowing an absolute gale and they're just going up and down the beach. Yeah, I've seen one strewn across the Northwestern Motorway in Auckland. They thought it was going to be cool to do it off Point Chev and then the wind changed and they're just like, uh-oh. Yeah. Always their power lines, too. I'm like, this isn't going to end well. Yeah. off point chef and then the wind changed and they're just like uh oh yeah and they're on the right of way

Starting point is 00:26:05 That is today's top six Pods I used to be so into pods When I was like fresh at high school You'd always get a big bag before you go to The movies Or Reading cinemas And then they announced recently
Starting point is 00:26:23 Events Or Rialto Or you know sort of some of your independent cinemas. And then they announced recently events. Or Rialto. Oh, we're having a competition, aren't we? Or, you know, sort of some of your independent cinemas, your capitals. I'm out of cinemas now. Embassy. I think we've covered everything. I didn't even get one.
Starting point is 00:26:36 You said you were out and you had two more in the bag. That's really impressive from you. Thank you. Well, of course, they announced recently that they were going to be discontinued, the pods, and people went absolutely flipped. But they didn't, right? Yeah, is this true? They said that-
Starting point is 00:26:51 They said they were going to discontinue pods, but then they're like, no, no, no, no, no. No, they didn't ever say they were going to discontinue pods. They said they were going to discontinue the 160 gram bag of pods. Right. But pods would exist in other bag sizes. Bigger bags. Right. But pods would exist in other bag sizes. Bigger bags. Right. That was what I read.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Because, you know, the thing that went mad was that little screen cap of the, someone messaged them and said, hey, what's the deal with pods, y'all? And they're like, oh, we're winding down 160 gram bags. And everyone lost their mind. But I think the thing they were doing was getting rid of the size, not pods on a whole. Well, I don't know. But this article here is saying it's discontinued.
Starting point is 00:27:27 And stores. Mars New Zealand have confirmed it will discontinue pods. In a statement to TVNZ, Mars said it's not working. So it is being discontinued. Basically, people didn't buy them enough. People didn't buy them enough. That's why lollies and food get cancelled, isn't it? We forgot about them. Yeah. They were the hot get cancelled, isn't it? We forgot about them.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Yeah. They were the hot thing in the early 2000s. We forgot about them. What I call Campbell Live Syndrome. Yeah. And this is in no way to disrespect people who worked on Campbell Live because it was like a great current affairs show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:57 But people didn't watch it. They wanted it to be there because it did great work and every now and then it would strike a chord with something they felt passionate about. But they weren't watching it, but they wanted it to be there. Yeah. Yeah. No, so it's not going to make them.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Manufacturing capabilities. Can't make them anymore. So people are selling them off. Can't make them anymore. The machine was just like, I'm leaving and you're not allowed to copy what I did. Yeah, I know. So people are selling them on Trade Me. And this guts me because I was literally
Starting point is 00:28:25 in a dairy at the weekend and there were like 20 bags and I thought to myself, huh, lots of pods. And it was this dairy kind of out of the way and I was like, it didn't seem like a popular dairy. It wasn't on a main road or anything. I was like, oh, I reckon they're on a gold mine here and I should have just got all of them.
Starting point is 00:28:42 You should have stocked up because they're like $3.50 a bag or something like that, under $5. Now people are taking them to Trade Me, of course. The Mars variety is the most popular variety. Is it? I would have thought the Snickers one would have been. We had a bag of Snickers ones the other day and honestly,
Starting point is 00:28:58 I mean, I'm fine without them. But they're selling for hundreds of dollars on Trade Me. This happens every time. In 2009 when they discontinued Snifters, Tangy Fruits and Sparkles. And do you remember Caramook before they started making it every week? Blocks and blocks of it for heaps of money. What was the other thing that was going for heaps of money?
Starting point is 00:29:17 Smeg knives. People just see an opportunity and they exploit it for their own financial gain. Look, even this, a four pack of Mars pods for $45. Get a grip. $45? But now you can count down. They're not there anymore. Count down already. They've got rid. Yep. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:29:35 If you're in a dairy or supermarket and you see some pods, grab some. Found a recipe on how to make your own. See these things? They might not taste great the first time. Stick at it. You'll get better at it. You can make your own. Is what I'm saying. You to make your own. See these things? They might not taste great the first time. Stick at it. You'll get better at it. You can make your own.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Is what I'm saying. You can make your own. I meant to make a giant pod. That's just a cookie bowl with filling, right? But that's the thing. You need the manufactured version of it because it'll hold together. Whenever you make your own version of something, it's all crumbly and falls apart.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Oh, gross. I just found a clean treat version. A raw parts. In a medium bowl, combine coconut oil, almond butter, rice malt syrup. Get a grip. Can we have a cleanse of the internet? I'm feeling really good. I had a really good sleep last night and I
Starting point is 00:30:24 h-needed it. Right. night and I h-needed it. Right. Yesterday. You h-needed it. I h-needed it. I don't know why. I was having a fine day yesterday. I was quite tired yesterday.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I have had two nights of quite bad sleep. I can smell your leather on my fingers. I'm sorry, I've been touching Vaughn's sheath Vaughn made a knife leather holder he's made a leather sheath and I brought it in to show off my
Starting point is 00:30:52 you know I'm distracted you know why I'm distracted I've got scrambled brain and yesterday I was absolutely fine I left work I went to a cafe to do some work
Starting point is 00:31:04 and then apparently they don't have a breakfast menu anymore. So I was like, okay, well that sort of irked me. So I went to a different cafe that wasn't as good and I was like, oh, it's fine. I just need to get my PT session. Got into the car and I was like, I'll quickly pop to the supermarket and grab some new deodorant because I've run out.
Starting point is 00:31:19 My Mitchum's run out. Went to the supermarket and like people were sort of passing me aggressively and I was so worked up. And then I had this sort of annoying phone call that really, really bothered me. And then I received a bill I wasn't expecting. I was just like, oh my God. And then I went into my car after the supermarket.
Starting point is 00:31:42 I was about to head to the gym and I went to close it and it just like clipped me a bit and I went like And that was that. And I grabbed my sunglasses and I tried to snap them What is what? I grabbed my Lispex and I went
Starting point is 00:32:03 Not the Lispex. And I grabbed them and I went and they wouldn't break which annoyed me Lispex and I went, what? Not the Lispex. And I grabbed them and I went, and they wouldn't break, which annoyed me even more. And I went, and I burst into tears. I was like, what? In the supermarket car park. Yeah, New World Victoria Park. Okay, great. That's a frustrating supermarket at the best of times.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Oh, the bougie people. I was just like, a girl walked past me on her phone. She nearly walked in and I'm like, look up! Jesus. Anyway, and so I burst into tears and these tears came out and I immediately
Starting point is 00:32:30 felt so much better and I went, oh, my period's coming. Gotcha. Gotcha. You just, you just don't know what's happening
Starting point is 00:32:41 and you're like, oh, I hate everything. And then you burst into tears and you always know this is a sign for me. I just don't know what's happening. And you're like, oh, I hate everything. And then you burst into tears and you always know, this is a sign for me. I just get like zero to a thousand. Like I'm having a nice day. And then it's all bad. And you're crying in the supermarket car park.
Starting point is 00:32:58 And then I worked out and I was like, I feel so much better. Honestly, fitness for me, it's me, it's more about the body. It's like a mental thing for me. It's a lifestyle. But then as I was walking down the stairs to get my bag from the changing room, there was another person who didn't give way. It's very tight in the Les Mills I go to
Starting point is 00:33:18 and she didn't give way and I was like, I'm back. And as I was driving home, I was like, at Beran, Aaron better feel my wrath coming. Like he better know that I'm coming home I was like Aaron better feel my wrath coming he better know that I'm coming home like this and he didn't and honestly I wanted to put it out there because I know
Starting point is 00:33:35 this is for me anytime today I'll be sitting here and I need you guys to know at some point I'm going to get my period because I can feel it And I need you guys to know at some point I'm going to get my period. Because I can feel it in my soul. I'm hyperactive. I'm sharp.
Starting point is 00:33:54 I'm looking you in the eye and you'll know. You've been handling my leather sheets. I want to know from period getters out there, what is your giveaway sign? How do you know that it's going to come? As a man who lives with a woman who gets her period yes um i think it's a very important thing to spot the signs yep ours is and it'll be like nothing and then all of a sudden it'll be like can we tidy up the bench can you get all your shit off the bench why do you just dump when you get home from work you just dump everything on the bench.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Can you please tidy up this? When I'm going out, I want to come back to a tidy bench. Right. And it's always the bench. It's always the bench. For the weeks previous, it doesn't matter if you leave your stuff on the bench. No, no. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:34:38 It kind of starts to stack up. Or if you want to say, do you mind moving your stuff from the bench? You might just be like, oh, babe, do you mind me moving your stuff from the bench? But it's the tone. It's sharp. Razor sharp. Can this bench be tidied up? And then, so I've also learned is that I don't just tidy up my stuff and then push all her stuff into a pile and be like, that's yours.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Don't do that. Oh, don't do that. Yeah. Don't do that. Oh, you put her stuff away too. Yeah. Oh, right. Shouldn't she put her stuff away?
Starting point is 00:35:05 Not this week. Not this week. No away too. Yeah. Shouldn't she put her stuff away? Not this week. Not this week. No. No. So I want to know, what's your giveaway sign when you know Aunty Flo is coming, when you know it's about to break
Starting point is 00:35:16 within the next 24 hours? What is your giveaway sign? Maybe you're crying in the supermarket car park or maybe you're telling Vauden to clean the bench up. Another one for me, NZ Post ads. You know those old ads, those emotional ads. Where do the children play? 0800 DALES.AM, you can give us a call.
Starting point is 00:35:38 We're asking you guys when you know that your period is on its way. As I tried to snap my sunglasses in the New World car park and then I cried yesterday and I just knew, any minute now. And was there a moment where you're like, why am I acting, why do I feel this way? No, you're out of control. You're out of control of it. You are
Starting point is 00:35:58 absolutely out of control of it. And then after a moment you might go, this is unreasonable. Right. This is off the scale. I mean, I'm a sharp, bitey person as it is. But it's that kind of, it's unjustified. And that's when I know. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Okay. Well, lots of text messages coming in. This is a whole lot to take on board. Someone said, same as Hayley, I get insanely angry at inanimate objects. I looked at my handbag sitting on the passenger seat and it wasn't sitting right and I tried to tear it to pieces. What? You did that thing. The reaction is so ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:36:39 You wouldn't just be like, handbag. You literally, I'm going to shred it. Yeah. Somebody said, three weeks of the year, I love a joke around. Three weeks of the month, sorry, I love a joke around. Bit of banter, bit of ribbing, and then
Starting point is 00:36:55 all of a sudden someone will say something in a very light, very teasy manner, and I'll burst into tears, and I'll say, this is not funny! And I'll run away crying. And it happens every month. You've lulled everybody into a sense that they can roast you. I know, you're bantering.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Yeah, I know. And then you're roasting, they're roasting, everybody's roasting. Caitlin, good morning. How do you know your period's on the way, Caitlin? Morning. I will rip anyone's head off who breathes too loud near me. Oh, I love this. Do you have a partner?
Starting point is 00:37:28 I do, unfortunately, for his sake. Yeah. I do have a partner, unfortunately. He'll just do something tiny, and yours is breathing. Yeah, and I cried yesterday because the pharmacy didn't have what I wanted. It's the tears. It's coming.
Starting point is 00:37:43 I can track my wife's menstrual cycle by going like this, making that noise and judging how angry she gets about it. Oh, see, that irked me. That irked me.
Starting point is 00:37:53 I know mine's coming because that irked me. Caitlin, thanks. You're cool. Charlotte. Charlotte, how did you know
Starting point is 00:37:58 your period was on the way? It's usually the day before. So I, all of a sudden, will just get this craving for everything and anything in sight. So it's not just like a block of chocolate. It's like five or six.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Yes. Or it's like a family feast from McDonald's or something absolutely ridiculous. I do this too. Oh my God. Bubs. Bubs. Babe, you're such an ally. You should start tracking. You should start tracking.
Starting point is 00:38:25 You should start tracking. I am an ally. Yeah, because you need to know what your fertile days are. Charlotte, so what's your go-to? The family-sized McDonald's deal? Yep, or like a quarter pounder with three extra patties. Like I'll have a D, sin burger. McDonald's should have a period menu.
Starting point is 00:38:42 They should. They should. And it's like not like... They really like, because, you know, like family, what do they call their big snack attack, the big family box? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All the hunger busters. Yeah, the hunger buster. The period buster.
Starting point is 00:38:54 The period buster. Yeah. I won't be judged. And they're like looking on the drive-thru when you pull up and you've ordered a family thing. They always look to see if your family's in the car. But if it's like you've ordered the period combo, then there's no judge. There's no judge. And then a lovely woman pull up and you've ordered a family thing, they always look to see if your family's in the car, but if it's like you've ordered the period combo, then no judge. No judge. And then a
Starting point is 00:39:07 lovely woman opens up and she's like, here you go, babe. You don't want to see a man at that stage. And maybe there's like a small bottle of Prosecco in it as well. Or like a chocolate sundae with extra sauce or something like that with some tissues. This is what I order.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Brilliant. Charlotte, thanks for your call. Some more text messages. Somebody said, I know I'm about to get my period when I get super horny all day long. No comment. But sort of agreeance. There's quite a few of those coming in. There is a lot going on in the estrogen, testosterone levels at that point. Somebody said they feel really sorry for their partner because literally they're like climbing him.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Yeah. And like trying to I'll use their words mount him during dinner. And then the next day they do not want to look at him. Wildly angry at him for no reason. I need you right now but you better not breathe loudly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Somebody said every single month I get the period pimple. Same pimple, same place and I'm like oh hello my old friend and it's just a reminder to try to you know balance my emotions a little bit. Wow. And this is a monthly occurrence
Starting point is 00:40:18 for some people. Good Lord. Well stay strong out there guys and just cry it out. honestly. Maybe just remove your inanimate objects for a couple of days. Yeah, honestly, I sort of feel like a soft, padded room with not a lot of stimulation in there would
Starting point is 00:40:33 just be what you need for a good couple of hours. So you can just cry! ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Take me back to the rainbow. Yeah. That rainbow kind of magic. Yeah. Rainbow, the rainbow, the rainbow's end.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Fletch, you really need to chip in here. No, I'm doing the deep. But at rainbow's end. End, end, end. We went to Cambodia on a work trip, Hayley, and honestly it was so weird. That song got sung nonstop for like an hour or two at a time. Those Cambodian villagers loved that song.
Starting point is 00:41:12 They thought we made it. Really? We sung it in the car on the way there and then we sung it for these little village kids. Why? Well, we were talking about stupid old like jingles and then that one came up and we worked out between like the
Starting point is 00:41:25 we had like five lads we could kind of do it really like dumb not nearly as good as the originals but then the driver heard us and was like the kids at the village would love to hear that and we're like no they wouldn't and then the driver was like do your song for the kids
Starting point is 00:41:41 and then set it in Cambodia and all the kids were like nodding and we were like oh god so. So then we sung the Rambos End. It was beautiful. We really did the work of World Vision on that trip to the land. We really did. The reason we sing this 90s, early 2000s TV jingle
Starting point is 00:41:57 is that Rambos End, I saw this on their Facebook page, have trained the log flume. We've talked about the log flume, the water on the log flume and how you can't get it in your mouth when you go down the splash of it at the end because... Because God knows what's in that water. Yeah, you thought COVID was bad.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Yeah. Get a mouthful of that water and we'll see how quickly the World Health Organisation can move on vaccines. But they've drained it. Yeah, so the news a while ago, they're doing renos on the log flume. Yeah, yeah, they're going to do renos. It's phase one of the upgrades to the log flume. But I want to have a look.
Starting point is 00:42:31 What did they find? We need a rappers and representatives to tell us what they found. Like, I always get so nervous about engagement rings. You know, you could put your hand in the water and it just swaps off. It just sits in there. There'd be rings, hats. Yep. Oh, like phones, I reckon, from photos. Yeah, there'd be swips off. It just sits in there. There'd be rings. There'd be money. Oh, like.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Phones, I reckon, from photos. 90 starter caps. Yeah. There'd be like some Alcatel DBs in there. Those things sunk like a stone if they ever got in the water back in the early 2000s. Yeah. But like drained, drained. And one thing I didn't know is it's all concreted.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Yeah. I assumed it would have been not all concrete. Like lined just with like, you know, if you're putting in like a plaster. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like a thick polythene or something. And then earth underneath. No, it's all concrete. No, no, no, no, no. It's all concreted.
Starting point is 00:43:13 And my second question, could the log flume run without water? No, because you flowed along for a lot of it, almost. The bit where you go, are you attached to something? No, only when you go up the hills. They go on the It feels dangerous. And this, I feel like it probably could get most of the way around. It's got little wheels on the bottom. When you go
Starting point is 00:43:33 down into that. Imagine the noise the whole time. Scraping along the concrete. Yeah. It'd be interesting to know what they found when they drained that. Yeah, if anyone was working on it and is listening, text in. I want to know. What was in the bottom? Snakes.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Snake skeleton. I wonder if any ducks met their grizzly end in there. Because I don't think they've drained that for years. I don't know if it's ever been drained. I don't even know if they ever have, yeah. Do they reckon they've got like a filtering system, like the water's being drained? I'd say so. That's what we talked about once I accused them of not filtering and not circulating as the water always looked stagnant
Starting point is 00:44:07 and mosquito larvae filled. But then when we talked about that, someone did say there is a cycle system for the water and a filtration vibe, but it's so big and so flat, something could have been sitting at the bottom there. God, I hope they really upgrade the tunnels. Well, what do you need from your tunnels?
Starting point is 00:44:27 Just more scary kind of LSD gnome-y kind of vibes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, more of that. Really scare the kids. Yeah. Yeah. No, they should put stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:38 If they want to really scare the kids, they should put stuff like responsibilities and like tax burdens and stuff in there. They're like, this will be yours to worry about one day. I don't know. I think that might go over a five-year-old's head. Yeah. Really scare the shit out of mum and dad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:54 All right. Fleshfauna Megan, the podcast. ZM. Now, this is alarming news. Jaina. Jaina. Jaina sent a rocket into space. Now, it hasn't gone boyfickly, but China won't tell you that.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Oh, no, everything's fine if you ask China. They're like, mm, okay, baby. May 10, this rocket is going to plummet to Earth, and New Zealand, Wellington, and Auckland are in the calculated path possibly. Yes. Along with other places around the world. It's a 30-metre long, 21-tonne part of the Chinese Long March 5B rocket is going to re-enter Earth's atmosphere out of control
Starting point is 00:45:38 and not exactly sure of its path and where it will again meet Earth. I'm going to tick up that line today then. So eat those takeaways today. Oh, you don't have to tell me twice. You know, that's how I go every day, just because the International Space Station could drop out. We don't know. We don't know.
Starting point is 00:46:01 You guys seen Armageddon? Get that brioche. That's a bad thing. Yeah. Comets and stuff. Aliens might arrive. So they have said that. So they've worked out.
Starting point is 00:46:09 And imagine being, like you were saying just before, so smart that you could work out like some falling rocket. Yeah. And pinpoint where it was. It's weight. It's last known location. It's trajectory at the time. The speed it was going.
Starting point is 00:46:24 How fast it was falling. Like all of these things are taken into account. And then they do like estimations and predictions of where it will hit Earth. May 10, which would be what May 11 for us, a couple of the waves pass through Wellington and Auckland. Yeah. But like they say, when it re-enters,
Starting point is 00:46:43 it could be put off by a thousand kilometres. So they really don't know. Spain blows my mind. Also saying New York. Yeah, as far north as sort of like the boundaries of New York and as far south as parts of Chile and Wellington. And when's this supposed to be? March 10.
Starting point is 00:47:04 March 10. Slash maybe 11 if that's a US? March 10. March 10. Slash maybe 11 if that's a US date. Yeah. March, May. Sorry, May, May 10. Yeah, it's going to go back in time. It's going to go back in time. This is all news, guys.
Starting point is 00:47:13 It's going to go absolutely back in time. But then I'm reading some of the comments from these real smart folk who are working out the maths of it all. Some smartos. Some guy, Leo, his profile picture is real science-y. Oh, okay. It's not just a little bit science-y. He's working on that rover that just landed on Mars.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Okay. I was like, what's that in the background? And why is he wearing a mask? He's working on it. I'm guessing that's like so he doesn't breathe coronavirus and infect the Martians. But he said his predictions say that the huge possibilities it's going to land at sea, however, it could make for a very astonishing nighttime display of a southern Europe
Starting point is 00:47:50 and the eastern Mediterranean. Oh, yeah. And people are liking that tweet because obviously everybody wants to look up and see something. That would be amazing to see though, wouldn't it? Would it all burn up before it got here? Or would there still be bits of it left?
Starting point is 00:48:03 There would still be bits of it. And it's going real quick. You wouldn't want it to donkey on the head, that's for sure. Certainly not. No. Certainly not. Somebody said Josh His name's just Josh. The other guy had a photo with the Mars
Starting point is 00:48:18 rover, but this guy's just, his name's just Josh. He said, I'm no expert, but I reckon about 145 nautical miles off the coast of Perth. Really? I'm no expert, but I reckon about 145 nautical miles off the coast of Perth. Really? I'm no expert. Yeah. Well, shush.
Starting point is 00:48:30 All right. Well, what, five or six days until we see where that lands. Fun. So hopefully not Wellington because you're in Wellington this weekend. I'm in Wellington this weekend. Yeah, that's why you're worried it could ruin your weekend. Yeah, well, it said Wellington, but then that was just, you know, New Zealand's always clambering to have a connection to global disasters and stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:47 They're right, yeah. The smallest possibility in the world is it could hit Wellington. Please. It's a bit of clickbait, do you think? Yeah, yeah. Well, it drew me in. Alright, well, maybe just, what do we say in five days? Hide under the kitchen table? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Just maybe just don't go to work. Maybe update your will. Okay. Just in case. Lucy go to work. Yeah, maybe update your will. Okay. Just in case. Lucy's messaged in. She said, I was a kid where we were told Skylab was going to crash down to Earth
Starting point is 00:49:12 in this part of the world and I remember as a kid I just spent so much time stressing out I was going to get crushed by a random piece of sky junk while playing in the school playground. I don't want anyone to stress about that. No, let's not.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Yeah, let's not stress about that. Yeah, Iron Man will take care of this. You know what? This whole segment redacted. Don't listen to us. Spider-Man and Iron Man have got this taken care of. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I was sharing this morning.
Starting point is 00:49:35 And we'll just go back to the 60s now. Yeah, I'm going to take you back into time. My man's been building me a shed. This is a she shed, isn't it? No, there's a he shed and a she shed. Well, he shed, she shed, bullshit. Come on, get in. So we've got this house and it has a carport
Starting point is 00:49:56 and the plan is, and this is all happening over the next month, we are tearing down, the previous owners had skinned the carport to make it an enclosed space. So it was just really badly, like, corrugated plastic and, you know, to kind of seal it off. Yeah. To make it more of a garage situation. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:14 And when we moved in, we were like, that doesn't suit, you're not going to put your car in it, you're not going to put your precious stuff in it, it doesn't suit us. So we're going to pull that out and put in a little working space for me. We'll have my pianos up. So Aaron's sick of your shit in the house. He needs you to take this whole performance in front of the mirror thing into
Starting point is 00:50:33 a separate area. He wants to separate me. We're trying to get as far away from each other in a very small house as possible. So we're removing the carport, but then all of the garage-y things need a place. So Aaron's been building himself a tool shed to go next to my she shed. So it's his he shed. So he's going to have a shed and you're going to have a shed.
Starting point is 00:50:51 That's so great. Yeah, and he's built it from scratch. Yeah. He's built it out of some ply, some wood. Yeah. He designed up the framing with his friend and they built it. No pattern, none of this. They didn't have a design going in.
Starting point is 00:51:06 No kit set, mate. They just did it themselves. And small enough that it doesn't require council consent. Under 10 metres, baby. Yeah, that's the good stuff. Under 10 metres squared. It's good to take that Auckland City Council. So he's been building this and he's been working really hard
Starting point is 00:51:18 and he gets his little working boots on and his working socks. He gets his little working boots on. And his shorts and his open shirt with a singlet underneath. His long hair up in a bun. Jesus, is he making us a coffee at the local coffee shop? You've just described a barista.
Starting point is 00:51:35 And his friend, Logan, has been helping him. He's a handyman as well. He's brilliant. And every day I come home and these men are my hard-working boys. Couple of man buns. Couple of man buns there, right? Couple of man buns. He's got lovely long locks of hair that he ties up. He's got work boots on.
Starting point is 00:51:52 And I just sit in the lounge and I watch a bit of telly and I watch them. And it's really turned me into wanting to be more of a housewife to Aaron. So I sort of, you know, because when I'm not there, they might pop down to the local sushi place or wherever you know you can get some or some bakery and get something
Starting point is 00:52:07 that's not feeding them your classic tradie pie and beef yeah so I have this thing in me now that I'm really enjoying which is scones
Starting point is 00:52:16 yeah the other day I whipped them up a batch of cheese scones and I came out and it just came out of my mouth and I said hey boys
Starting point is 00:52:23 you've been working hard come in I've made a batch of scones and as this came out of my mouth and I said, hey boys, you've been working hard. Come in, I've made a batch of scones. And as this came out of my mouth, I really enjoyed it. And I felt good and the boys came in and I went, where you go? And I stood by the fridge and I watched them dig into the scone.
Starting point is 00:52:33 They were bloody starving. They've been lifting wood all day. And then yesterday, so now I've just got this thing and I like to come home. I get out of the car, Aaron's like, hey babe. And I hand my hand, I go, I've got a little box of beers for my boys. A little box of beer for my hardworking boys. Yeah, I'll pop that in the fridge for you.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Oh, I've got a cranky one for you now. It's lunch. Who's watching? I like this. And I come out. And I come out with my little frosty beers for the boys. Oh, this character's like evolving, too. I feel like she needs a penny.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Oh, she does. She does. She needs a penny. Yesterday, I came home. And I thought, do you know what? I've got the boys today. I got them a roast chuck needs a pinny. Oh, she does. She does. She needs a pinny. Yesterday I came home and I thought, do you know what I've got the boys today? I got them a roast chuck, didn't I? Oh my God. You weren't turning into a roast chuck
Starting point is 00:53:10 and a bag of buns and a box of beers. This is my nana. Yeah. This is what now was like when you were like, we were cutting firewood. Nana would turn up and she'd be like, oh my gosh, look at this. Look at this pile of wood.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Look how hard you've all been working. I know. It's time for smoker. And I sit inside and I do my afternoon work, whatever I'm doing, which is far less hard than what they're doing outside. And I think, I wonder if the boys have had some water. I might bring them in.
Starting point is 00:53:34 You are turning into a 60s house. I'll bring them in a little jar of water for my hardworking boys. A nana or a 60s housewife. Pass me your empties, babe. I'll replace those. There's something in it. I'm just absolutely loving it. The housewife. I don't know what I'm going to bring them for lunch today.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Oh. But we're going out. I might get them a little something from the cafe. Take them something from the cafe. Take them a sweet slice. Or I might say, boys, where's my hardworking boy? What's going to happen when he finishes the shed, though? Then he's going to be working on my shed.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Right. Okay, so it just keeps going. Well, that's next level. Watching my hardworking boy making Okay, so it just keeps going. Well, that's next level. Watching my hardworking boy making something, building something for me. Because when we moved out of the town
Starting point is 00:54:12 and into like rural life, I remember Sade saying, this will be nice. I'll be able to do those things that like farm wives do. Like make scones if you're like trimming the hedge and stuff.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Guess what? Zero effing scones. Wow. She's useless You need to tell her to lean into I need to send her to your house for lessons The classic women's roles from the 1950s Yes
Starting point is 00:54:32 Whip your hard working boy up a batch of scones Yeah I'm out of, where's my scones? Wipe that sweat off his brow Give him a chilled beer Tell him to piss off Flesh, fauna, Megan The podcast
Starting point is 00:54:44 ZM. We were just talking before the show today to Carween, who we say, her name's Carween, but I've decided we say Carween. Carween. Yes, Carween on the social media desk. And she was saying she went to a chiropractor yesterday for a crack. Did you get a crack? No, it was just a first appointment. Right. Did you get a crack? No, it was just a first appointment.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Right. Did he give you a crack? Have you got a wonky back or something? Is that the back people? Do they get the backs? Not a wonky. Well, actually, he did say I was like wonky. Are they the quacks?
Starting point is 00:55:15 Yeah. Are they the ones that the other doctors call quacks? Yeah, absolutely. Chiropractors? Do they? Why do they say that? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You don't want to go there.
Starting point is 00:55:22 You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, right. That's not medically sound. You want to go to an osteo. I don't want to. I don't either. Oh, the osteos that are quacks. No, no, no, no, no. You don't want to go there. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no. That's not medically sound. No, no, no, no. You want to go to an osteo. I don't want to. I don't even. Osteos that are quacks.
Starting point is 00:55:28 No, no, no. Osteos are the ones you call the chiropractor's quacks. Oh, right. There's a bit of osteo-chiro. Yeah, because it's too brutal. I didn't know there was beef. But I don't even want to go because I'm a huncher. I'm a huncher.
Starting point is 00:55:37 And I don't need to be telling I'm a huncher. I know. Sit up straight. Oh, my God. Same. Yeah. So this is how I want to be. So you're filling out the form before he sees you.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Yeah, so it's all like the normal, do you have any medical conditions, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then one of the questions was, what are your hobbies? And I had to leave it blank because I don't have any. Did you write NA? Is that an in for them to make small talk with you when they're touching your back? No, it'll be so that they know, you know,
Starting point is 00:56:06 what kind of physical stuff you might do. If your hobbies are like surfing. Like if it could affect. Yeah, right. But you don't have a single hobby. I like sleeping. Eating chocolates, did you say? Yeah, and watching Netflix.
Starting point is 00:56:21 But you could curate that. TV critic? Yep, TV critic, film and movies. The chocolate could be sort of chocolatier, chocolatierian. That would indicate that she's making chocolates. Or not just buying the cheapest, biggest one. Anna, this is a bit of you, food reviewing. But do you, because Anna, Executive Intern, you also said you don't really have any, you
Starting point is 00:56:48 couldn't name any hobbies. No. My boyfriend and I talk about this a lot because he's very into, obviously, cars, mountain biking, like our weekends. He's like, right, I'm off to do five million things. And I'm like, well, I'll tell you what, I'll sit here and I guess I'll see you later. Do you remember when you had to watch him at the skate park? Famously
Starting point is 00:57:08 yes. Because he does have lots of hobbies. You sat in the car and read the Weekend Herald. I did and I had a flat white. One sugar please. So that's a hobby. Coffee. Whereas producer Jared has hundreds of hobbies. Yeah I've got a couple.
Starting point is 00:57:24 You're a D&D guy. Gaming. Puzzles, board games. Oh, no puzzles. I thought you were a puzzles guy. Barbecuing, you've been getting into barbecuing. Yeah, I've been hitting up the grill. Yeah, grilling, baby, grilling.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Yeah, there's a few hobbies I'm too poor to start doing that I really want to do, like blacksmithing. Nah, don't get a hold of your back. You just get some forks, melt them down. Like a really, really hot fire and just chuck some forks in it. I don't get money to hold you back. I don't know if you can just open up the cutlery door and turn a fork into a fork. All I'm hearing is a lot of excuses, Gerard.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Do you know what I mean? I'll do better. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone's got an oven. Everyone's got some forks. Then I thought, my wife's the same. We've talked about this.
Starting point is 00:58:04 I said to her once, I said, you need to get more hobbies. And apparently she took that as a wild attack. And we had a big fight about it. Would you say that she, I would say, but then is it a hobby? She loves the renovations. That's too expensive to just be like, my hobby is renovating every six months. To be fair as well, like you are parents. So a lot of your life,
Starting point is 00:58:25 and this is why I won't be having children, is around their hobbies. Yeah, but that's the thing. Even my kids aren't, like, massive. Well, you're not giving them the life that they deserve, Bourne. But that doesn't stop you from having hobbies. I've got lots of hobbies. Yeah, but they've got hobbies. They've got, you know, do they do sports?
Starting point is 00:58:41 Reluctantly. Yeah, they started learning the guitar. Oh, yeah, that's a good word. But she couldn't name a single hobby. That's right, I couldn't name hobbies. And I'm a hobbyist. Yeah, you're into hobbies. You've got the marching.
Starting point is 00:58:53 I've got the marching, piano. Trying a whole bunch of stuff. We thought this morning we would see how big a problem this is. Are you hobby-less? Are you hobby-less? And maybe we can get you on the phone. You can call us. 0800-DARZITEM.
Starting point is 00:59:06 If you can't think of a hobby, maybe we can just quickly run through your life and maybe we can give you a hobby. Yeah, or work out or identify hobbies in your life that you have that you don't know are hobbies. It is weird, though. If you just work nine to five or work all day and then you catch up with your friends and you drink at the weekends or whatever. And that's just your life.
Starting point is 00:59:26 No, but you should have a hobby. What are your hobbies? I don't have any hobbies. Well, wine's a hobby of mine. You see, travel's a big hobby for you. Oh, yeah. Travel used to be. You've been somewhat restricted with it. Fitness is a hobby.
Starting point is 00:59:34 Is it? Okay, good. You see, there you go. Yeah. You've got hobbies. Yeah. Is fitness a hobby? It's a reluctance.
Starting point is 00:59:41 I would say so. Do you enjoy it? You kind of have to, otherwise you get fat. No, but you do more. It just seems like a gun to the head. And then Jim, the girl, asked me, how was your workout today? I said, as awful as every single workout I've ever done. I don't want to be here, but I also don't want to be obese.
Starting point is 00:59:57 We're talking about people that are hobby-less, and it turns out that a lot of people cannot name a single hobby. And in the interest of having a home to go home to, I just want to say my wife's not lazy or boring. She feels I'm portraying her as lazy and boring because I said she didn't have hobbies. But we're saying it's more of a generational thing, especially amongst the females that work here.
Starting point is 01:00:16 You can't identify a hobby. But when you had the argument with her about hobbies, did she actually end up naming one? No. Okay. But that's why I said we've got to do more things. And this is the thing, when she does them, she likes them. She's shy.
Starting point is 01:00:29 Home renovation? Your hobbies are like, let's go make a knife. Yeah. And she made a knife and it was an awesome knife. Did she like that? That's a great knife and she had a great time doing it. Okay. You can try these things. And she enjoyed that time we went tramping. I'd put that as the outdoors. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a great hobby and she had a great time. She should have believed in herself. I'd put that as the outdoors. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a great home. I mean, she had a great time.
Starting point is 01:00:46 She should have believed in herself. I believe in her. And have I done enough to get myself out of trouble? I don't think I've done enough. Tick the box. Tick the box. I don't think so. I'm in the green now.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Yeah, I think so. I could probably go home and do something real cheeky. We've actually had a message in from someone that deals in recruitment and writing people's CVs. They create people's CVs for work and they say, I'm finding more and more people are hobbyless and literally can sit there for half an hour and not be able to name anything.
Starting point is 01:01:14 Do you think it's because, like, we were talking about burnout yesterday. Were we? Or was that on Have You Been Paying Attention? That was on Have You Been Paying Attention. Yeah, on Have You Been Paying Attention is saying one in three people in the working industry In New Zealand. In New Zealand are burnt out
Starting point is 01:01:28 or heading towards burnout. So are we just not allowing enough time in our life or do we not have enough time in our life for hobbies? Not everyone considers them. I think a hobby isn't like, it's outside of work. It's time consuming, it is. It is time consuming,
Starting point is 01:01:42 but it's also like you find what you love and it's actually relaxing. Yeah, but then also how many times have you said, it is. It is time consuming, but it's also like, you find what you love and it's actually relaxing. Yeah, but then also, how many times have you said, God, I've got no time, but you've binged like four seasons of New Amsterdam. Yeah, and then you get your weekly report of screen time and it's like, you spent 12 hours a day on Instagram
Starting point is 01:01:58 and you're like, uh-oh. Yeah, I know. But I totally understand that it's not as easy as being like, get a hobby. You know, it's financial, it's time. Yeah, you've got to find what you that it's not as easy as being like, get a hobby. You know, it's financial, it's time. Yeah, you've got to find what you like. Tina is on the line. Tina, you are hobbyless.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Yeah, I think I'm hobbyless. Tina, let's categorise you some hobbies. What do you do with your spare time? So, well, I do go for walks every morning and then go to work. And I do go to gym, morning and then go to work. And I do go to gym, but it's more about trying to stay healthy. I do my walks in the morning because I do 10,000 steps a day. It doesn't feel like I do it because it's a hobby.
Starting point is 01:02:39 I feel like I do it because... Do you enjoy these walks? I do. Not as much in the winter, but yeah. What if you did the walks through a park or a national park or a dirt trail and then you change it to hiking? Tina, bird watching.
Starting point is 01:02:56 I enjoy doing that. Do you see birds? When you're walking, do you see birds? Yeah. Bird watching. I think this is the answer, Tina. You don't need any more time or money to do this. You're already on your walk.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Just take a little notebook and your phone and maybe binoculars. You're a bird watcher. Here's another one. You could be community watch because you're walking around all the streets. So you're a community watch advocate. Yes, that's your hobby. Now you've got two hobbies, Tina. Put that on your CV.
Starting point is 01:03:28 What else? Yeah, if I see some dodgy characters, take photos. Yeah, your security now, that's your hobby. And then you might get so into it, Tina, it might lead to another hobby like jujitsu or karate because now you're doing security
Starting point is 01:03:44 in Neighbourhood Watch. And then you're doing security and neighbourhood watch. And then you become a vigilante crime fighter. Superhero. Superhero. Brilliant. There we go. But I'm learning. Yeah, there you go.
Starting point is 01:03:52 I'm learning body combat, so I just sort of linked to the jujitsu. You've got more hobbies than me. Body combat. Exactly. There we go. Well, Tina, you are welcome. Kelly, hobbyless as well. Yeah, unfortunately, I think I am.
Starting point is 01:04:06 Okay, well, let's solve this problem right now. Yeah. What do you think you spend most of your time on outside of work? My children. I blame the children. So they're the cause of me being hobbyless, but are they maybe my hobby as well? I'm not sure.
Starting point is 01:04:19 What about if you could turn that into a very popular hobby, scrapbooking? You know, they bring home all sorts of rubbish art, terrible photos of them and little bits and bobs. I tried with my first, and then of course I've had another one, and I mean I've got some pictures, but I don't even think I've got the scrapbook itself yet, and he's two, so I clearly failed at that one. That second child guilt where you're like, oh the first one's got all these neat photos and the second one's got a bit. Yeah, just a couple.
Starting point is 01:04:44 I failed at scrapbooking as a kid because I'd accidentally glued the pages together because I was an over-glower. Right. And it would ooze out the side. And then you'd close it. Yeah, so it was a waste of time. Do they still have those glue dispensers that you'd turn upside down and push them and you'd open the lip of the glue pot and then it would all squirt out?
Starting point is 01:05:02 That was how I often over-glued. Yeah, right. Remember those things? Yeah, I do. What about, Kelly, do your kids have any hobbies? No, we're trying to get the eldest one into some sports. So hopefully this coming winter will keep us a bit busier. And we'll be up nearly on a Saturday morning, like you mean.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Yeah, but you could attach yourself to that sport. You could be refereeing or coaching or something. That could be a hobby. Oh, dear, I don't know. My mum was pretty shocking at chasing us up and down the sideline when we were kids playing sports. I'd hate to do this to her.
Starting point is 01:05:28 I believe in you. You've got a genuine voice. I believe in you. We've got to get you a hobby. Do you like anything? Cooking? Do you like cooking? Oh, cooking.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Yeah, absolutely, cooking. And unfortunately, I love the washing. Don't ask me why. I'm crazy. Absolutely. I don't think you should be embarrassed about having cooking and cleaning as your hobby. My husband's pretty happy.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Cooking, you could say, I've got a culinary hobby. Yeah, cuisine. How do you redo the washing as a sort of a... Fabricure. Textiles. Textiles. Textiles. Yeah, love of textiles.
Starting point is 01:06:00 Love of textiles. That'll do. Fresh textiles. Textiles and cooking. Excellent. There you go. Textiles and cooking. Excellent. There you go. Textiles and cuisine. Kelly, thanks.
Starting point is 01:06:07 You called some messages in. A lot of people hobbyless. Yeah. Someone said, I'm really upset. Someone is saying, as someone with many hobbies, a list of hobbies, it makes me really sad to think people don't have a hobby to escape work from. Yeah. They said maybe.
Starting point is 01:06:22 That's what it is. It's escape. It is a privilege as well To have a hobby I totally understand that But it can be small It can really enrich your life Cross stitch
Starting point is 01:06:30 I did cross stitch for a bit That was fun That's nice That's relaxing Because you can watch TV But you're still actively Doing something you know Yeah
Starting point is 01:06:36 And that's good prep For your retirement home life Yeah it is It is Yeah Somebody else said I recently discovered I had no hobbies
Starting point is 01:06:45 So I made candles Not to sell Not necessarily I just liked making it It was just fun I liked when the wax melted I love that Question
Starting point is 01:06:52 How do they get the string in the middle? The wick You put it in before you put the wax in And you dip it down And you put like a peg over top So that it doesn't Yeah it holds it up Yeah so it holds it up
Starting point is 01:07:01 And then how do you make the smelly bit? The oils and stuff in there. Oh, right. Stuff that you add to the wax. Oh, well, that's it. You should get into some candle making. Well, that's it. I'll do my own Akoyas.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Can I fill up my Akoya jars with glasses? Yeah, there's your jars. I've known people who have. What? Finish their Akoyas and then give them a boiling jug to get the rest of the wax out. They're a great jar. And then refill it. They are a phenomenal jar.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Yeah, well, I'm coming for you, Akoya. And then you put a bit of bacon grease in there from your leftover weekend fry and you've got a bacon candle. Oh, fantastic. There you go. All right, well, there you go. Maybe that's a hot – I know it's May, but maybe that's a New Year's resolution. Get a hobby.
Starting point is 01:07:36 I think so. For 2021. Mid-year hobby. Yeah, somebody said they played heaps of sports games online, like video games, and they just said that they were into sports organisation and management. Yeah, perfect. That's great. There you go, easy.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Perfect. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I like when noises do that. It feels like they're winding around each other. Yeah, I don't know if that's a good thing. Isn't it? Not for everybody? It's good. Happy birthday today. Isn't it? Not for everybody? It's happy birthday today.
Starting point is 01:08:27 Happy 100th birthday. To who? To Chanel No. 5. Oh, a classic pong. Classic fragrance. I was going to say fragrance. You said pong. Would you use that?
Starting point is 01:08:40 I've never bought it. My mum had some and I would every now and then have a little spritz. But no, it's not a fragrance that I connect to. It's not an old lady fragrance either. It's not at all. It's not a Red Door. It's not a White Diamonds. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:55 Easy now on the Red Door. Do you go Red Door? No, I don't wear Red Door. I was going to say, I don't know that smell. That's my mum's smell. You don't wear it at all ever? No, I'm an eczema-y kid. And I used to get eczema all over my neck.
Starting point is 01:09:07 And so anytime I'd spray perfume, I'd forget. And I'd be like... Oh, boo. But you don't just spray your clothes? No. No, you just don't? No, sometimes I use the like natural, lush, creamy ones. So you just rely on impulse, purely?
Starting point is 01:09:23 Your vanilla impulse. Yeah. You've walked right into our trap. This wasn't so much of a fact today as an intervention about your smell. Oh, no. Is my Mitchum not? Mitchum's letting you down. No, Mitchum's not letting you down.
Starting point is 01:09:35 I know you wear a bit of smellies. I've never been the hugest fan. I love a bit of smellies. Until I found that one that everyone was like, that's real nice. And I was like, oh, this is mine. No, what about that one that you tried in studio and then we were all immensely attracted to you? Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 01:09:47 That was just the plain base of a perfume, wasn't it? Yeah, that was the base. Twink bait. What's that one called? Versace. Versace twink bait. Twink bait.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Yeah, that's what it is. Twink pearly. It's really good. It's really twink pearly. Walk down the street and there's just a bunch of little fish swimming behind you.
Starting point is 01:10:03 But you like musty fragrances. I don't like musty fragrances. Yeah, you like sort of danky, mouldy. I don't like mouldy broom cupboards. Quite often walk into work and we'll be like, sometimes you've got wet socks on. What's that one? Have you put your washing on before it's dry?
Starting point is 01:10:18 Shut up, both of you, and stop picking on me. I'll take this to HR. This has been recorded. Hello, HR, how can we help you? They keep saying I smell wet. What's the Pac-Man one? Parker Rabanne. I got sent that, and that was nice.
Starting point is 01:10:29 But Sade said, I love it. It's nice, but it's a bit fruity for you. It's a bit like, so I'm more of a musky man. Yeah. Because I look at me. I'm like sweet fruity if I go for one. Yeah, but look at me. I'm not like a sweet fruit.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Nah, you're a leather and tobacco. Yeah, I'm a bloody, I a bloody dusty old broom cupboard. You chew your tobaccy. You smell like sawdust. An ashtray that's been rained on. Yes, that's me. Chanel No. 5 has stood the test of time for a reason, right? It's like a very young people can wear it,
Starting point is 01:10:58 old people can wear it. Yeah, that's the thing. It's never been pigeonholed as anything other than a classy perfume. The number five has a significance, by the way, if you've ever wondered what the deal was. This is the fifth one. Coco Chanel.
Starting point is 01:11:13 Yeah, she asked a famed master perfumer, Ernest the Bull, to present her some perfumes as options to go with a fashion range she was releasing. And Coco Chanel number five was the fifth one that he presented. It just had No. 5 written on it with Chanel written on it. And she was like, that's actually, like, pretty minimalist and classy. Yeah, right. And so I'm on board with that.
Starting point is 01:11:35 And the main ingredient, I did not know this, but as a fellow liquid laundry detergent, the main scent in it is ylang-ylang. Ylang-ylang. Ylang-ylang. Ylang-ylang. Ylang-ylang. Ylang-ylang. Ylang-ylang. Which is my liquid
Starting point is 01:11:50 clothes washer of choice. Oh, you like that one. I love the like, ylang-ylang. How much does a bottle of number five go these days? I don't. I'm just having a look
Starting point is 01:11:57 on Smith & Coie's. Oh no, Jesus, why are you looking there? Good, your private school girl is showing quite a bit today. What, should I buy a ticket overseas instead and get it duty free? Isn't that what's at Parallel Imported? Yeah, Parallel, that's where I go.
Starting point is 01:12:11 Or Chemist Warehouse. Yes. They do a cheap perfume. I like smelling like Ariana Grande, so I like going to her. Yeah, but I feel like Chemist Warehouse only does celebrity endorsed perfumes. Your Paris Hilton's, your J-Lo's. Your Katy Perry's. So today's fact of the day is it's 100 years ago to the day that Chanel No. 5, the famous perfume, was released.
Starting point is 01:12:37 Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Flesh, Fawn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Now it's time to talk about one of my favourite subjects, female comfort. Oh, God. We are talking about female comfort. Bras, they are, to some people, a necessary thing. Evil?
Starting point is 01:13:10 Necessary evil. I mean, I don't have an, I like wearing a bra. You know, some people are like the people that want to get into their house and rip them off straight away. I like the hug it gives me. I'm more of an elastic. I was trying to make the snapping noise of the elastic. I hate an underwire, honestly.
Starting point is 01:13:25 But there was a thing that went viral recently on TikTok where a, I don't know what you'd call her, bra fitter, boob expert. Okay. She was sharing on Instagram about why you can't just walk into any old bra shop, any brand, and be the same size, that it's all different, and why different fits of bras mean you're a different size and why they just, honestly, you have no idea.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Trying to find a bra that fits perfectly is so hard. Because I know in the past, and we've talked about this on the show, a lot of women will just put up with an ill-fitting bra. Yeah, and then they'll just be, then the day you get into the right size for you, the right fit, it's life-fitting bra. Yeah, and then they'll just be, then the day you get into the right size for you, the right fit, it's life-changing. Right. Because this
Starting point is 01:14:09 TikTok that this woman shared, she talked about the term projection. So she was talking about projection is like, there's a difference between how far your breasts come out from your chest and the difference between that and breasts that are wider
Starting point is 01:14:27 so that, you know, that take up more space. So the same volume but in different... Same volume but in different projections. Different shapes. Right. Exactly. And this like went crazy because people were like, why this woman was talking, she thought she was like a 12A
Starting point is 01:14:41 and turns out she was a 10DD because she was like, I've got small breasts because they don't stick out very far. But she didn't. But she didn't. She had mass, but it was distributed differently. Anyway, so this was like the talk of the internet and then people were sharing this incredible website that my best friend has actually used before.
Starting point is 01:14:57 It's called a brathatfits.org. And you put in all these different measurements. It's not just like, I'm a size 12. You just put in your actual like centimetres or inches, whatever you want to do, all the loose underbust, snug underbust, tight underbust, standing bust, leaning bust, which is, my best friend told me she had to do this. So you have to lean over at a 90 degree angle
Starting point is 01:15:20 so that your breasts are hanging. And then measure that from the back through to the nipple. To where they hang down. Oh, okay. And then it takes all of those. All of those measurements and it tells you the dream size. And then you can take that, you can either order a bra on this website with that size and it'll give you a list of the perfect bras. Or you could take it into a shop and be like, I did a bra that fits.org and this is what I was told. But also, I mean, an amazing website. And then my best friend
Starting point is 01:15:49 got these bras and she was like, oh my God. And she changed size. She changed size and style because there's like balcony bras or full coverage or this. What's a balcony bra? It's the ones that kind of sit like, am I wrong? They kind of sit like half across the boob. They're not, they don't go like that kind of sit like half across the boob. They don't go like
Starting point is 01:16:05 that. I am using my breasts as a demonstration. They don't go like over. They sit like that. So is it like a little ledge for the table and chairs? Like a little prop. Do you want to run your nipple falling over the edge of the balcony? No. Well, but if you've got the right size you wouldn't be spewing out of the bra. It's absolutely amazing.
Starting point is 01:16:22 So it would spit you out of size and then you'd just go into the store and try that size. Yeah. Wow. It would tell you like, because you would be a different size depending on the style. So you would go, if I did want a little sexy balconette number, I'd be this cup size. That's interesting in itself. Different styles are different sizes.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Yeah, I know. It's absolutely amazing. I do recommend, and I've done this before, and I feel like people get embarrassed to go into like a bend-on or whatever and get a fitting. Changes your life. Because so many people are like, I think I'm a 12B or whatever, and they'll just
Starting point is 01:16:55 cram themselves into these uncomfortable digging-in bras, as opposed to going in and then trying, getting a proper fitting from an expert. You think that's embarrassing in a bra shop. Try messaging your wife in a mall saying, where are you? And she says, in the bra shop.
Starting point is 01:17:09 And you go into the wrong bra shop and you're like, shut up, hello. No one's in there, sir. No one's in there. You don't even have a wife, creepy old man. Just coming for a gawk at the mannequins, haven't you? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Going away this weekend.
Starting point is 01:17:25 Yeah. Going to a friend's birthday. Okay. In Wellington. And one of my mates, I'll name him. He gets very angry when he hears that he's been talked about. Okay. Callum.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Oh, yeah. Lifelong friend. One of my oldest, one of my dearest, one of my closest. Yeah. But shit, he's like the worst organiser. And he's got a girlfriend. Yeah. And she is just turning his life around.
Starting point is 01:17:46 Really? She is to him what Sade is to me. Like we just put them in touch. When I say my people will talk to your people, we literally just get my wife and his girlfriend. They talk, they organise everything. Yeah. She's organised the hotel.
Starting point is 01:17:59 Sade's organised dinner. Like we're just romping in like two casual lads. You're going to bring the banter. Do you know what I mean? All the banter. organize dinner like we're just romping in like two casual lads and you're gonna bring the banter I do you know what I mean all the banter they get sick of that too
Starting point is 01:18:09 both of them hate it I'm surprised they're so enthusiastic to organize our time together because you couldn't organize a weekend away I mean you could
Starting point is 01:18:18 but you'd leave it last minute the flights would get expensive the hotels would get expensive I also think it would cost like ten times as much you'd be booking it the night before.
Starting point is 01:18:25 We wouldn't know what we were doing for food and then we'd walk around and everybody would be booked up and we'd just, I don't know, get a burger somewhere, which is fine because it's about the company, isn't it? I feel like also if they enjoy organising then let them do it. I get the feeling they do. I love the organisation.
Starting point is 01:18:41 It was our 10 year anniversary on the weekend and everyone was like, so what's Aaron got planned? And you're like, no, no, no. I've planned the day. I'm not going to leave it with him. God knows. It is weird how all of the pressure of anniversary tends to fall on the gentleman. It did.
Starting point is 01:18:56 Like he had to romance me. And your heteronormal couple. No, I did all the surprises and all sorts, and he kept being like, what are these surprises you're organizing? And I was like, no, it's just I'm organizing a day for us it's for me as well yeah yeah yeah but i just want to enjoy the day again because you know it wouldn't get done if it was up to him it just might just be a different day okay is that why selfish reasons you've taken it upon yourself to organize it because you want it to be what you want it to be and you even after 10 years don't trust him
Starting point is 01:19:25 to know what you like. I just think my brain goes there quicker. I think I can go like, I can see how I could go, this is what we'll do in the morning and then we'll go to a massage place here because I know that you like that place. You might forget that I like this place so we'll just go this place. Okay. So what you're saying is it is what you want.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Yeah. But it's also a gift to him because he just gets to roll with the day. Yeah. That's what I like, rolling with the day. That's the gift. Rolling with the day. God, I hate organising things. This is great.
Starting point is 01:19:53 Roll with the day. You get to roll with the whole weekend. I've got Fletcher work. Yep. He'll organise me. He's work wife. I've got a home wife. I'm pretty sure those are the only two wives I need.
Starting point is 01:20:03 Hopefully there's no more out there That you don't know of There might be Hey Well if it helps you get from A to B And roll with it Yeah All good How nice is that
