Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Vaughan and Megan with Hayley Sproul podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe by five McCafe coffees.
Get one free on the Maccas app.
Hayley's just AliExpressing.
Okay, so I have never bought something off AliExpress before.
Oh, you're in for a treat.
You're in for a three to four month wait.
I know what I'm in for in terms of quality.
I'm not one of those people that bought a watch strap and went,
why did my watch fall off?
But why did we get talking about this?
Oh, Taco Tuesday. Yes. Taco Tuesday. we get talking about this? Oh, Taco Tuesday.
Yes.
Taco Tuesday.
We got talking about the fact that we love tacos.
We both love the Tia Pablo corn tortilla.
Spoiler alert for today's podcast.
Tia Pablo.
Absolutely.
Yeah, best tacos.
And then, Fletch, you brought up that you'd bought some tortilla stands.
Yeah, from AliExpress.
So my ones i got were like
aluminium yeah like stainless steel um and you they're just like a a jutty mountain bridge or
triangles yeah and you can buy like long ones or short ones and yeah you you make the tacos and put
them in the stand so they can all really go because we have see so when we have the uh taco night at
our place me and aaron just make it flat on the plate,
and then it all kind of gets messy,
and then you have to fold it up, or you go one by one.
Do you make one at a time at the table?
That leads to an overloaded taco.
No, we usually do two.
I do, yeah.
We go two on the plate like that.
So you order.
I lean them against each other like this in the middle.
Yeah, so anyway, so I went on to look at the one that you got,
and then I found one that I really like in four colours.
It's like a
it looks sort of silicone-y or like plastic-y
maybe and they're like
skate ramps that hold your tacos.
I got one in green, one in blue, one in yellow
one in red but I just got my order
confirmation
and it's got one off.
It's definitely got
one off. One in green.
Where's my red one?
Check my order. The thing is you'll forget you've even ordered. This is how AliExpress works. It's definitely got one off One in green Where's my red one?
Check my order The thing is
You'll forget you've even ordered
This is how AliExpress works
You order
You get real excited
And then you forget
And two months later
There'll be a message saying
You've got something in the mail room
And it's your thing from AliExpress
So this
Oh no I've had it delivered to home
Right
So on the check my order
The red one is there Okay Right okay So on the check my order, the red one is there.
Okay.
Right.
Okay.
So all of this panic.
It might be coming from a different factory.
Yeah.
There might be a factory for red taco holders.
Do they do bulk?
Like, can you do shipping, like buy different things and then put it all into one thing?
Oh, damn it.
Because I should have done a bigger order because I just found one of those tortilla
presses to make your own.
You can get those from Tia Pablo.
Can you?
I'm on the Tia Pablo
website.
Look, you can get your own.
It's a 19 centimetre
in diameter.
Like that, hey?
The little pan press thing.
And I think you hate that,
do you?
You hate that.
That's only $65.
That's really good.
Because that heats it up
because I have to admit,
I'm in the microwave.
Oh!
Oh!
No, Gita, just...
I'm so sorry
Senorita no
I've got a gas oven
I need to start doing
The scorcher
Yeah just
A pan on a
On a not on heat
And give it a roll around
I squirt a bit of water
On the pan
So it kind of steams
Oh
It's so soft
Yes
It's taco night tonight
I'm going to do it
Especially the Tia Pablo
They're quite thick
So a bit of water
On the pan
And then 10 seconds
On each side
And they'll be nice and –
I put beef fat in there.
You put beef fat in everything.
You put beef fat in your cereal.
When you die and they drain your arteries of beef fat,
they'll be like, we think it was the beef fat that killed him.
I cooked short rib at the weekend, which is beautiful
when you cook it for a long time due to this streak of fat
that runs through and it melts and it goes through the meat.
And you know what I put on top?
Beef fat. More beef fat. Oh, my God. You can't go wrong with beef fat. Due to this streak of fat that runs through it and it melts and it goes through the meat. And you know what I put on top?
Beef fat.
More beef fat.
Oh, my God.
You can't go wrong with beef fat.
You can't go wrong with beef fat.
You're high on beef fat.
I am.
It's coursing through my veins.
ZM.
Head music.
Lives here.
Fleece, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show.
Fleece, Vaughan and Megan. With Hayley Sproul. to the show, Fleece, Fawn and Megan with Hayley Sproul.
Thank you.
Who's got a two-day hangover from a wedding.
It's just that little lingering dustiness, you know. Yeah, that's called getting older as well.
No, you gave it a top up.
You powered a couple of beers.
Have you been paying attention last night?
I did load a couple of beers back.
They kept offering me my usual glass of Pinot Gris and I was like, oh, not today.
And then the moment you said,
do you want a beer?
I was like, yes.
Give a little top up.
So that'll be a good show
screening tonight.
Have you been paying attention?
No, it was a really good show,
actually.
It was blooming fun.
Yeah.
And we had a pro wrestler,
Candy Lee,
on the show
and she wrestled me.
And the audience screamed.
I honestly thought Hayley was going to be broken.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was amazing.
The room was like, ah!
I thought I was going to have to try to break it up.
Right.
I mean, I would not have been able to.
No, no.
The top six coming up on the show? Travel bubble
announcement
today, right?
Yeah.
This is what we said last time and we got
an announcement of the announcement.
So this could just be an announcement
that an announcement's coming.
We've already had that though. Could this be an announcement
that an announcement happened?
Maybe. Oh, a post announcement. A post announcement announcement. Could this be an announcement that an announcement happened? Maybe. Oh, a post
announcement. A post announcement announcement. Yeah.
For another announcement.
My money's on, it's gonna
happen. I reckon she's been
peer pressured. But we're gonna get a lecture.
I reckon we'll get a lecture about if we get
stuck there, we're screwed. Rightly so.
Rightly so. Well, the top six things
to expect from the travel bubble announcement
today. Alright, also, after 8 o'clock six things to expect from the travel bubble announcement today. All right.
Also, after 8 o'clock this morning, somebody in the room,
well, actually a couple of people in the room,
are celebrating their 17th anniversary together.
Wow.
Well, I mean, I've been here two months, so it's not me.
I don't think so, no.
So we have, over the weekend, over the long weekend,
lovingly crafted furniture for each other because that's a gift.
That's the symbol.
That's the symbol.
So we've got a presentation after 8 o'clock today,
and I believe we've got a special guest judge who's going to pick it.
Somewhat of a furniture expert.
The favourite piece.
How much effort did you both put in?
Oh, a lot.
Because I've seen Vaughan's effort for you
and
it's hours.
Okay, hours.
I wouldn't say mine's hours.
Right, minutes.
Minutes. Wow.
Okay.
It's after eight this morning. Next on the show though.
A baby has been welcomed into the world
and they have, not one, not two, but three appendages that, yeah,
we're going to talk about them.
Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM.
We have a medical first.
Well, first ever documented, but they're assuming it is the first. Now, there's a condition called diphalia, which is in around 100 people worldwide,
which happens when a boy is born with two penises.
And I've seen about 100 cases of this.
Now, a boy in Iraq has been born, and he has trifalia.
Three.
Three willies.
Born with three willies.
That's the first child ever proven to have the deformity.
Three willies.
But they weren't, like, fully functional three fully functional willies. They they weren't like fully functional, three fully functional willies.
So they don't all work?
They don't all work.
So there's a main willy.
Yeah.
Is this the word that I'm going to use?
I'm just trying to choose my...
You know, willy's good.
Willy's acceptable.
Yeah, acceptable.
So he's got the main willy.
Yeah.
And then two shorter willies around two centimetres long.
Right.
So one of them was one centimetre long, the other one was two centimetres long,
sort of located near the root of the main willy,
positioned actually below the scrotum.
Underneath? Right, okay. below the scrotum. And neither of them...
Underneath? Right, okay.
Neither of them have a urethra,
so it doesn't do wheeze.
Right, okay.
The extra willies don't do wheeze,
so they decided, because they were just, you know,
nubs, basically, useless nubs,
they've lopped them off.
How fascinating the fact that they have no features of the standard penis,
apart from their geographical location.
If they were located on the hand, you'd call them fingers.
You might, yeah.
You know, it all depends where they were because it didn't have anything
other than the protrusion and the geographical location.
Because what have they done in the past with the,
what was the other, the die failure when people have two?
Do they just keep them if they're both?
Yeah, I guess so.
It just depends.
Was that guy on Reddit, wasn't there?
Yeah, there was the My Life With Two Penises guy
who had two fully functioning, sexually functioning penises.
Yeah, and he did like an AMA.
And people were just asking questions.
And I'm pretty sure he put up a photo too.
So in most cases of dye failure, two willies,
most of the time they are the same size and sit side by side.
Right.
As you kind of might imagine it immediately.
And with the bolos underneath.
But like a shotgun, do you want an over and under or a side by side?
I reckon a side by side.
It would stack better.
One on each side of the underpant.
Take a ball each and go down the middle.
I think it's going to be splitting the balls.
But if you're on top and bottom, that would be a nightmare to stack.
Yeah, it would.
At what stage, if you had diaphalia, if you had two,
would you bring it up in the dating phase?
It's got to be early.
How early, though?
First date?
By the way, I've got two willies.
Well, I mean...
Well, you don't talk about your ordinary penis on the first date that openly, do you?
Yeah, I don't think I go in being like,
let me explain the situation down there before this goes any further.
I don't know.
Because I remember being told that that guy, the Ask Me Anything guy,
with two functioning
penises, that it was actually BS.
It was fake? Yeah.
No. Was he? Yeah.
Had he googled the answers
when people were asking him? I remember saying to a friend of mine
I remember that guy and he was like, yeah
it turned out that was all rubbish.
I mean this is just salacious gossip
at this point. Yeah, okay, Reddit's gullibility
in regard to the double dick hoax.
Yeah.
Are you kidding me?
That was fake.
I know.
And they saw the photo and everything.
Yeah.
Well, this young child doesn't have to grow up with any of that.
Oh, my God.
Even Rolling Stone did an article.
Yeah.
Fascinating facts from the man with two willies.
It was really good photoshopping.
I feel lied to.
But people do have it.
People do.
Did he just do that thing on your MacBook where you open up the photo library
and, you know, he can mirror one half to the other
and then he just kind of like went on an angle and it was like, see?
Well, I've made the mistake at 6.13 a.m. on a Tuesday of Googling Di Kelly.
I did too. Did you see the photo, the default photo on the Wikipedia page? Yeah. Yeah, don't mistake at 6.13am on a Tuesday of Googling DiFalio.
I did too.
Did you see the photo, the default photo on the Wikipedia page?
Yeah. Yeah, don't look at that.
So it doesn't look as sort of straightforward as the Reddit guy made it seem.
It's a bit more sort of jumbled.
So you've been flagged by IT and it's not even 7 o'clock yet.
Wait till I start Googling TriFalio.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Well, in Canada, there is an organisation
which is helping members of the music industry
struggling with mental illness and depression.
And they have, with the help of artificial intelligence,
started a project called the Lost Tapes of the 27 Club.
Now, this features musicians like Jimi Hendrix,
Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, and Kurt Cobain.
Oh.
And they are using artificial intelligence computers
to recreate, or create rather, music from these dead artists.
Like they're making new music.
Yeah.
So the artificial intelligence is going through all of their songs
and picking up, like, I don't know.
Trends.
Trends and vocals and everything.
Chord changes.
Yep, all the chords.
Lengths.
And then it's the artificial intelligence spits out lyrics
and all the music, and they do have to get a human to voice.
Yeah, you don't want that.
So I've got a Nirvana track for you here.
This is a guy that does Nirvana's covers.
He's a very good Nirvana's covers person.
So the artificial intelligence spits out the music and the lyrics
and he sings it.
And this.
I can't believe we're dropping a new Nirvana track right now.
Because was it you that was saying at the weekend
that Kurt Cobain has been dead longer?
As long as he's alive.
Wow.
20 to 27 years since he died.
And that was on.
And he was 27 when he died.
Was that Saturday or Sunday?
Yeah, over the weekend.
Isn't that insane?
It is insane.
So this is what the art of, this is a computer program.
This is what it has created.
Instantly already sounds like a Nirvana song.
Oh my God, the guitar is so distinct.
It's called Drowned in the Sun.
That dude does have a very good Cucamane voice.
But yeah, it basically sounds like it just could be a Nirvana song
that they've unearthed from the archives.
Oh, I'm into it. I like me a could be a Nirvana song that they've unearthed from the archives. I'm into it.
I like me a bit of Nirvana.
Yeah.
So they're doing this with a few artists.
Yeah, so they're doing it with Amy Winehouse.
That'll be really interesting to hear.
Yeah.
So it's called The Lost Tapes of the 27 Club.
Oh, hit the chorus, hit the chorus.
Absolutely.
And that's AI.
Like, is that, you know what scares me?
AI and those Boston robotic dogs.
Like, what's the future going to be like, eh?
Because it's such a weird thing for an AI thing to be able to do because music is so
emotional and instinctual.
I guess if it's just copying a band
that you've already got a strong emotional attachment to,
like you said, those opening guitars and this,
it's so very Nirvana.
But is that like the future of Spotify?
You open up your Spotify and it knows you
and so it creates music for you?
Yeah, well, it's kind of like...
That's not even real? But it is kind of so it creates music for you. Yeah, well, it's kind of like... That's not even real.
But it is kind of like a lot, some modern music.
You know, they use a lot of loops and stuff.
Like, they're not sometimes creating a new riff, are they?
You know, they're just using loops and stuff like that.
So it is a lot of computer assistance.
It'll be weird to hear the Amy Winehouse one
because, like, Nirvana was a whole sound,
like the very distinctive
voice of Kurt Cobain, but like
Amy Winehouse's
voice carried the whole thing.
I'm going to download this.
This banger is getting straight on my gym playlist.
Like from a Nirvana album,
but it was one of the non-single tracks
or one of the early...
I would be like, oh yeah.
I know, you, oh yeah. Yeah, I know.
You'd believe it, eh?
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast.
ZM.
From the yummy ZM think tank, this is the Top 6.
Hello there.
Today's Top 6, the Top 6 things to expect from the Travel Bubble press conference.
I'm imagining that it'll be a press conference situation.
Yeah.
They'll keep it pretty formal.
Yeah. Get out there and give us a press conference.
We don't know where we're going, what we're going to be able to do.
It might be a date for Australia, the Cook Islands.
A lot of the airlines have started selling quite a few seats to Aussie and back from mid-April, the 12th, I think.
But that doesn't mean that's the date.
That's next week.
Yeah.
Where are we at with Thailand?
Well, Thailand could only afford the vaccine that had a 50% effectiveness.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
They've handled it all pretty well, though, haven't they?
They have, but they got it a bit later than most people.
But yeah, for the numbers, because they wanted everybody to have a vaccine.
Yep.
So the vaccine they got is one that didn't have a huge success rate.
Oh.
It was like 50%.
Oh, dear.
Ah, yeah.
So the top six things to expect from today's Travel Bubble press conference.
And number six, someone will rhyme bubble with
trouble. Oh yeah.
Yeah. Bubble, trouble, imminent.
Yes. Yep. Definitely. Do you reckon they'll
come out as
the three witches from Macbeth?
Bubble, bubble. That's a bit of a theatre
reference for you guys. Yeah, they could come
out around the cauldron.
Yes. Because we're definitely getting a lecture
about if you get stuck.
Well, that is number five on the list of the top six things to expect
from the Travel Bubble press conference today, a pre-telling off.
Yeah.
You know, when my parents would do this,
when we were going to somebody's house, we'd get a telling off,
even though we hadn't done anything wrong yet,
but it was a telling off.
It was the shots fired.
It was an absolute stay in your lane. Yeah. An absolute pre-naught a telling off. It was a shots fired. It was a don't, absolute stay in your lane.
Yep.
An absolute pre-naughtiness telling off.
Look, I'm not happy about this, and I'm just letting you know,
I didn't want it to happen.
But I'm going to let you go.
It's happening.
Yep.
Number four on the list of the top six things to expect
from the Travel Bubble press conference today.
Some burning questions from Tova O'Brien.
Oh, yeah.
Probably the same questions Jessica Much-Makai just asked,
but Tova wants her voice at the start of the clip
that they'll play on 3 News later tonight.
Yes.
And it'll be like, why haven't you done this sooner?
Yes.
And then when someone infected comes back,
she'll say, why did you let this happen?
Yes.
That's how it works. I don't know how this happen? Yes. That's how it works.
I don't know how they keep their cold.
That's how questions work.
I would just call them out and lose my shit.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Well, I'm asking from a neutral point.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Number three on the list of the top six things to expect
from the Travel Bubble press conference today,
the New Zealand sign language sign for aeroplane,
which is basically the shaka sign for aeroplane. Which is basically
the shaka sign. Oh yeah. With your
fingers, the curved fingers
facing forward. And then you just push it
towards. Oh yeah. That's
aeroplane. What's plane
crash?
Shaka.
But you're burying a shaka, but hopefully
no need for that. Number two on the list
of the top six things to expect
from the Travel Bubble Press Conference today.
We better get a bloody kia ora kato kato
from Dr. Ashley.
Oh, yeah.
That would be nice.
We've come to expect it.
Did you hear his Easter ads?
I saw that there was an Easter ad,
but I haven't seen it yet.
He was like,
it'll be egg-cellent if you can turn on Bluetooth.
And it was just like lots of Easter puns.
I'll only accept it from him, to be honest.
He's got an exception.
He's got a license to ride those dad jokes as much as he wants.
Yeah, somehow it makes him sexier.
I don't know what he's doing, but it's working for him.
Yeah, he's inside your head.
He is.
He's nestled in there.
And number one on the list of the top six things to expect
from the Travel Bubble press conference today,
a metaphorical comparison between the fragility of a travel bubble
and a soap bubble.
It'll be something along the lines of both can pop very easily.
Both could go away as easily as they came.
Both of them are quite fun.
Yes.
You know?
Yeah.
Both of them shouldn't be done inside because if it goes on the floor,
it'll stain the floor and mark the carpet.
Yeah.
That's fair.
Maybe that's a little bit more of a soap bubble
than a travel bubble.
But that is today's top six.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
I've got some terrible, shocking news.
Do you guys reach for the paracetamol
when you're feeling a niggle or a hangover?
Hangovers?
I'll take a couple of paracetamols. Yeah, I've got a big box. You know when you go to the doctor, you just ask for the paracetamol when you're feeling a niggle or a hangover? Hangovers? I'll take a couple of paracetamols.
Yeah, I've got a big box.
You know when you go to the doctor, you just ask for a prescription pack
so you don't have to pay, like, heaps of money at the supermarket.
Ibuprofen and paracetamol.
And antihistamines, by the way.
You can get those on a prescription.
Can you?
Yeah.
Don't pay a cent.
Well, it turns out I do.
Have you heard me this morning?
Grow up.
I've got some terrible...
Grow up and stop being stupid with pollen.
Well, it turns out...
Grow up, they're only pine trees.
I think it's something in this little nut bar that I have.
This would be a terrible way to learn that I'm allergic to nuts, wouldn't it?
But every time I have these, I do get a bit...
There'll be something in it.
Yeah.
That's what I have to do.
Oh, Aaron's going to hate that.
Anyway, so it turns out that paracetamol,
brands like Panadol and the likes,
may be no better than a placebo in lots of common pain conditions.
This was a study out of Australia, wasn't it? University of Sydney looked at reviews
and lots of other data,
evaluated that paracetamol for pain relief
in 44 conditions.
They looked at that and found that it was only effective
in knee and hip arthritis,
craniotomy, craniotomy.
A headache.
That's probably a hangover.
But that's a particular type of headache.
Right.
What is it?
Cranial what?
Craniotomy.
Craniotomy.
Craniotomy.
Just spell it.
C-R-A-N-I-O-T-O-Y.
I just put it in cran and then cranberry and then craniotomy.
And perennial pain after childbirth.
Oh, right.
Oh.
Easy now.
Craniotomy is the surgical removal of a part of the bone from the skull to expose the brain.
You see, it's not a headache.
It's a bloody headache, all right.
Absolutely.
You can have a couple of pennies and you'll be fine.
So other than that.
Other than those very specific things.
But are you sure?
Because when I have a hangover and I take a couple, I'm fine.
They say including migraines, post-operative pain, dental procedures,
childhood middle ear infections, back pain, abdominal pain,
like period pain, cold-related headaches, low impact, paracetamol.
But what should you be having instead, like a Nurofen?
I don't know.
Then that's not good for everything as well, is it?
But Nurofen is anti-inflammatory, right?
So that's...
What about a Dispirin?
Oh my God.
When I was a kid, we used to mix a bit of Dispirin in with orange juice and drink that.
Isn't Dispirin paracetamol?
It's aspirin. What? Butysprin paracetamol? It's aspirin.
What?
That's a paracetamol.
Aspirin's not a paracetamol, is it?
Paracetamol, aspirin, and ibuprofen.
Can you tell that none of us went to...
School.
I was going to say pharmacy college or whatever it's called.
They're saying that in lots of conditions, having a paracetamol was so...
Yeah, aspirin's aspirin.
The effect was so small that it was questionable
whether or not it had any benefit.
Right.
And now they're saying, look, now that we know this,
it's their duty to tell people,
so they're not wasting their time with ineffective treatments.
For example, back pain.
What about a tramie and a jamie then?
What about a tramadol? They'reemmy then? What about a Tremadol?
They're high-end.
I don't like...
I had these nerve blockers when I had shingles
to stop the shooting pains.
They were something else.
You'd be like, ah!
You'd take a nerve blocker and you'd be like,
hello, mummy!
Yeah.
Shadow's like
I'm your wife
flesh fauna Megan
the podcast
ZM
got an air bubble
oh
I love that
I always try to see
how long I can keep mine for
yep
yeah
you know like
when you've got helium
and you don't want to
take a breath in
because it will go away
so you're like
I gotta go I gotta go it's the weirdest noise but then it's scary when it Yeah. You know, like when you've got helium and you don't want to take a breath in because it will go away. So you're like, guys, I got a Bible.
It's the weirdest noise.
But then it's scary when it lasts for longer than six seconds.
You're like, this is me forever.
This is my little voice.
Okay.
So there has been a study to find out
what is going to make you the happiest
on a cranky, cranky bed day.
Oh, it's going to be something like...
Lollies?
I love lollies.
Lollies.
All fizzy Coke bottles.
So, 31% of people wanted a sweet treat to make themselves feel better.
25% of people wanted something salty.
Now, what about the other ones?
Because that's only 50%.
Yeah.
Okay.
What did they want? A carrot or something? Get out of here. A burger's only 50%. Yeah. Okay. What did they want?
A carrot or something?
Get out of here.
A burger.
Get out of here.
Pizza.
Okay, so it was fresh vegetables and fresh fruit.
Roast to 39%.
But I feel like that.
You know when you're feeling a bit down in the dumps,
you're like, I've got to sort my life out.
That was me after this wedding.
That's me today being like,
I'm going to eat some spinach today.
That just tells me that you had a good time.
You had a good weekend.
You had a good time.
Very good.
Yeah.
Don't be hard on yourself.
If you had a good time,
you're like,
I've got to sort my life out.
Well, it turns out that the ultimate top food
that made Americans feel better
and people who participated in the survey,
tacos.
Now, it was close.
Oh, yeah.
I would say close with burgers.
Burgers not on the top three.
Really?
I'm always a burger.
Bacon and eggs and steak.
See, bacon and eggs for breakfast, absolutely.
Especially hungover.
Steak, definitely when I'm like,
that feeling of like,
oh, I just need some sustenance.
I need some broccoli and some steak. Tacos, though, I'm 1, that feeling of like, oh, I just need some sustenance. I need some broccoli and some steak.
Tacos, though, I'm 1,000% on board with that.
So good.
How good?
Because it's like, this time I'm going to put sour cream on the bottom.
Next time I'm going to put guacamole on the bottom.
And I'm going to have another one.
And it's not going to have any cell in it because I'm a grown man, do what I want.
You know?
Yeah.
It's variety and it's a little delicious parcel and you get to yum it up.
If you're out, where do you head in the direction of, say you're going to get three tacos, which
is always my sort of go-to, I go, I'll make a fish.
A fish is a definite.
A fish is fish tacos.
Fish tacos.
No, I'll never do a fish taco.
You'll never do a fish taco? You'll never do a fish taco?
Yuck.
What do you mean?
A lovely white flaky fish taco.
Nah.
With some beautiful sort of bright red onion and coriander and lemon.
Yeah, lemon.
Pop, pop, pop, pop.
It's popping off.
Pop, pop, pop, pop.
Some shallots.
So where do you go?
Because I go, if I'm going to be three.
I love a pork taco.
Yeah, pork taco.
Like a shrimp taco.
I love a beef barbacoa.
Barbacoa.
Wait, you'll go a shrimp taco
over a fish taco?
Yeah, 100%.
I don't know why.
You're crazy, man.
I like you, but you're crazy.
Yeah, you're out of this world.
You're a wacky dude.
I don't think you could
show me a taco
that I couldn't enjoy in some way.
A hard shell.
Okay, so stop right now.
Get out.
Did you show me a taco I don't like?
People that do hard shell tacos, like, yuck.
What are you doing?
I'm going to do Taco Tuesday tonight because I've got an empty fridge
and an empty pantry.
Do it.
Do it.
Neutral palette.
Now, I will say that, and this is in no way
a paid endorsement, for this
specific tortilla.
Are you going to say Tio Pablo?
I would know.
They're good.
I was going to say, is it Farrah's?
They do a really good one as well.
And you just warm up a pan and you
put it in there. 10 seconds.
That's
a flour tortilla.
Yes.
The Tio Pablo is a corn.
Authentic Mexican.
Authentic.
Yeah, those are good.
They're a bit thicker and they're smaller.
Like that big.
Yes.
And they've got a little texture to them.
A little grainy.
Do they come in like the red packet?
Yes.
Yeah, they're good.
You just peel them off.
They're like authentic.
Yeah.
So good.
But you do your flour tortilla.
No, yeah, but I'm just wondering, like, you guys,
you cook for yourself and your partner and Fletch eats tacos for one.
I've got a family to feed.
I've got a feeling we could bankrupt ourselves on these.
Oh, you can't be having to eat Pablo every day.
We literally get two between us.
So there's four of us.
Yeah.
My kids smash tacos.
Yeah.
They will do like two 10-packs of tacos.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, we're easy to eat five tacos each.
To be fair, with me and Aaron,
sometimes I will buy a double pack of chips.
Yes.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Skip it or stream it.
This is where we ask you.
This kind of seems like we're just doing this for our own personal benefit.
Oh, we are.
Whether or not we watch the first couple of episodes of a season to find out it's not for us.
Or we ask you and then we judge whether or not it's to be watched, but for everybody else as well.
So let's take a look at some of the big shows at the moment on streaming platforms.
Yep.
And the first one is Superstore.
We asked you, Skipper, to stream it, and 55% of people said stream it.
Yeah.
I haven't seen it, but my fiancé chewed it right up.
Yeah, I've heard a lot of people say it's quite funny.
There's lots of seasons of it, right?
Yeah, and it's very silly, it sounds.
I love a bit of a silly comedy.
Some of the comments on it say,
starts good, doesn't finish strong.
Oh, okay.
It silences my head noise.
Sometimes you need such a somebody to dull the head noise.
You do, you just need to drought out life.
Somebody else said,
this is literally just a rip-off of The Office.
Someone said,
fully relatable to anybody who's worked in retail.
Great, great show, hilarious and a great series. Watch it every night. It's anybody who's worked in retail. Great, great show.
Hilarious and a great series.
Watch it every night.
It's The Office, but in Walmart.
See, I'm not mad at a rip-off of The Office.
The Office is exquisite.
No, it's great.
And you worked in retail as well.
And I worked in retail for a short amount of time.
The relatable.
And someone said, the favourite thing about the show is you can use a device when watching
and probably not going to miss much.
Sometimes you do just want to show.
I know, because sometimes I'll watch a show with subtitles
and I'm like, uh-oh, like I've got to concentrate.
I can't be on my phone.
Yeah, I don't feel like reading.
I reach from one couch to the other couch
and try to whack my wife's phone down
because I know I'm just going to get asked what's happened
or can we rewind it a couple of minutes
because I see the phone light up in front of my eye
and I'm like a cat patting it.
I'm like a cat patting it. I'm like.
Okay, so that's that one.
Next up, we asked you about the hottest Netflix documentary of the moment,
Seaspiracy.
We said skip it or stream it.
And 52% of people said stream it.
That's quite close.
Very close. I've heard a lot of people raving about this doco and friends posting it online. Yes. And it is on my to watch list. Stream it! Not today. Deep. Too much. I saw some of the footage. I was the same, but I just had gurnard for dinner.
And I thought, I don't need this guilt.
I don't need my gurnard shaming.
I don't need gurnard.
And it is Taco Tuesday.
And I will be having fish.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
But do you remember, you know, we've all seen Blackfish.
But have you guys seen The Cove?
Oh, yeah.
No.
Yeah.
I don't need to watch that.
I know that's bad.
The Cove, where I literally, me and Aaron after the cove, sat in silence as I wept.
And then as I started watching Seaspiracy,
I thought, I'm going to do the same again.
You guys have seen Seaspiracy, the producers both?
Yeah, absolutely shook.
Okay, and worth a watch.
Yeah, and like it genuinely made me think,
oh, fish, maybe time to wrap it up.
Okay, so because I had gurnard for dinner, would I have felt bad that night?
Yeah, absolutely.
Are you still allowed to catch your own fish?
Yes.
Like, you're allowed to go fishing?
But we always say that fish is, like, the sustainable, you know, like, it's fine.
Well, sustainable, that word is covered a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah, consider yourself cancer.
Right, it's not one of those Netflix docos that's a bit exaggerated, is it?
That's what I read over the weekend.
The tides, excuse the pun, have turned on Seaspiracy.
And people are saying a lot of it is just that hyped up.
You know how we'd love to buy into a hyped up documentary?
Absolutely.
Yeah, but that could just be big fish money getting to you.
They could have been spreading those lies.
But remember when we all wanted to charge into the African bush
to find Kony in 2012
and then next minute
that televangelist Christian
was masturbating
in the middle of the street
and we were like,
man, we all got sucked in.
That was crazy.
We all got sucked in.
And then we're here.
Kony 2012.
All the ordered stickers
and shit online.
Woo!
And then he's naked
masturbating in the street
and we're like,
what's going on?
And we're like, you were our leader. And did they find
Kony? Oh no. So
is it Taco Tuesday or is it not? Because I'm
having fish. It is Taco Tuesday.
Probably not fish if you've seen the documentary.
Otherwise, I think you're fine. I haven't seen
it. What did people say? Someone said,
what an absolute crock of shit.
This opened my eyes so much. It was an interesting
watch. It's hard to believe.
You'll ditch seafood.
Someone said hypocritical perspective,
although there are some terrible trends.
Stop eating fish.
Save the world.
Stop eating fish.
Humans suck.
I mean, I could tell you that.
I could have told you that
without watching that.
Humans are the absolute worst.
I'll just stick with chicken
until there's a Netflix documentary
called Chicken Spiracy.
God, I've just Googled Kony 2012 and I remember all of this.
Just seeing the thumbnail of the video that I so vigilantly shared is very triggering.
And then he's like, dancing on cars, naked.
That was a fantastic meltdown.
It's one of the top five meltdowns of all time.
Ginny and Georgia, we said skip it or stream it.
And you said at 51%.
Stream it.
Just.
Close again.
Just.
This doesn't appeal to me, this show.
You know when you just see the thumbnail?
Yeah.
That was enough for me to go, this isn't a show I'd like.
The only thing I heard about this show was, remember Taylor Swift was like, shut up, because
they did a Taylor Swift has so many boyfriends joke.
Yeah.
And they were like, women need to raise up other women.
But people loving it though.
Someone said it's an easy, twisty, awesome watch.
Somebody else said, don't mess with women.
Someone said it's trashy, but it's got a good soundtrack.
Funny show.
Somebody, Gingy Bean, said, this is Taylor Swift,
I will never watch this.
Okay.
Somebody else said,
not exactly what I expected,
awesome,
entertaining female cast,
nice,
funny,
easy watch,
perfect for a hungover binge.
Yeah,
nice.
Well,
now it's Daylight Savings.
Oh,
yeah.
We've got a lot more TV to watch,
right?
Yeah,
we do.
We don't feel as bad
because it's dark outside.
Oh,
God knows we shouldn't be going outside.
What if the fish strike back?
Oh, no.
Flesh, fauna, Megan.
The podcast.
ZM.
Well, the lippy Gen Zers have spoken again.
Oh, shut up.
There they go.
Fall in line.
We haven't had our turn on the throne yet.
Exactly.
They've done a survey and they've interviewed people
between the ages of 16 to 24.
Very talkative bunch.
About which emojis are now considered ancient and not cool.
Right.
So this is the latest kit.
All right, open up your recently used tab.
Why are they taking everything away from us?
Skinny jeans?
Yeah. And what was the thing? I don't have hair, but the side part was an attack. recently used tab. Why are they taking everything away from us? Skinny jeans?
Yeah.
And what was the thing?
I don't have hair,
but the side part was an attack.
The side part?
Where am I at today?
I'm all over the show.
You're like a Harry Potter lightning. I'm a straight over the shower roller work.
Okay, how do we do?
We go into messages.
Yeah, and you just open up
as if you're going to send an emoji
and then it goes top left down
are your most used.
Okay.
So shall I read the list and we'll check off?
We'll see what number it is.
Okay.
So they did this to say which one's the most ancient.
So if you're using these in a message,
Gen Z will think you're old.
You're like, oh, my God, that's so old.
Yeah, okay.
Okay.
Number 10, the grimacing face.
That one.
I don't have that one.
It's in my last row.
I don't have that one either.
But I love using that one.
I don't have it.
Wow, dude.
Huge fan of it.
For some reason, I do have the Japanese flag.
Not sure about that.
Number nine. Oh no, this
is my number two.
Kiss. Really?
That's not even in my one.
Really? Mine neither.
Oh no, I'm really bad. I'm looking
ahead in the list. Okay, number eight. Clap hands.
No. Clap hands
is my number two. Is that the pray one?
No, no, no, this one. Oh no, no.
It's like that. Not that. The sound lines. Is that the pray one? No, no, no, this one. Oh, no, no, no. It's like that. Not that.
And it's got the sound lines
coming off it.
The sound lines.
So that's your number two.
Clap hands.
My number two's a kiss.
This is saying lots about us.
Yeah.
What the hell have you got?
You're not even on the board yet.
Well, luckily I'm not messaging
too many Gen Zs.
No.
But my one is the,
my number one's the laugh cry.
Which.
Well, hang on.
Oh God.
Am I going to be on the board soon?
Number seven, monkey eye cover.
You know, like, oh, yeah.
I don't have any monkey, but I like monkey.
I don't have monkey eye cover.
Number six, laugh cry.
Okay.
Laugh cry.
I'm lame.
I'm on the list.
Yeah, I'm sort of there.
That's probably my 11th.
Number five, poos.
Poos.
I don't even have poos. I don't even have po. Number five, poos. Poos.
I don't even have poos.
Yeah, because we're adults here. Number four,
the tick. What?
God, screw you, Gen Z.
What's wrong with using a tick? No, I don't have the tick.
But you know what I mean. There's nothing wrong with that.
Number three, okay hand.
Yep, that's my number three. No.
Your honour. Okay. You're winning here, by the way. You're No. Your Honour. Okay.
Okay.
You're winning here, by the way.
You're the lamest so far.
Number two, and this is my number one, is the red heart.
Oh, I've got that in at six.
Okay, that's my number one.
Seven.
You're six, seven.
That's my number six.
We really have different love languages.
I'm kissy and hearty, and you guys are more laughy sort of shuckery
Number one
the lamest one in Listen Up
Patsy Sproul who responds to everything
I send her, mum
Thumbs up
That's a classic boomer
Where are you?
That's my number
five
I said listen up and now Siri's typing a text to Aaron Go away That's my number five. Oh, of course.
Oh, I said listen up and now Siri's typing a text to Aaron.
Don't go away.
So there you go.
Thumbs up, red heart, okay hand.
There's your top three that you're an oldie and Gen Z thinks you're just a shriveled old soursack.
I feel like my top five would have all been in the top five.
In fact, my top six because of the kissy faces there.
But for some reason, the bumped head with the bandage on
has snuck into my top five.
I don't know when I used that one.
Down the bottom of my top is a Japanese flag,
some other flags of countries I can't identify,
and then another just Chinese symbol.
Look how big this boomer's font is.
Have you got a sized up font?
No.
Show me your font.
No.
Look at your emojis, they're massive.
Oh my gosh, Kate, can I just say,
you know how I said listen up
and then Siri started writing a text?
Yeah.
Can I say, I'll have to read this to you.
I missed one and listen up, Patsy Sproul,
who responds to everything I see.
Mum, thumbs up.
Are you a lesbian?
Me to like you.
Like you.
Where are you?
Siri's always listening.
Siri's absolutely lost the plot.
That'll explain why your targeted advertising's a bit odd in the moment.
Yeah, I know.
Well, there you go.
Pitsis, probably your lesbian.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Get started.
Get started.

It was Easter.
And always forget until like last night watching The Chase.
No ads on Easter Sunday.
All good Friday.
But it's also the day you're like really least likely to watch telly.
Do you know what you find?
Like it's the same with Christmas.
No ads on Christmas, but you don't really watch TV on Christmas.
So what a waste.
But it was good.
More chase.
Yeah.
So, Fletch, I believe you were slightly inconvenienced over the weekend
and you would like now to moan about it for minutes on end.
I would like to get started on the fact that Easter alcohol laws and trading is so backwards,
we have to stop it.
But that has changed, hasn't it?
A little bit from how it used to be.
So did you go to a bar on
So a friend and I on Friday, we were
like, well, let's just go for a drink. And we knew
that you have to go, if you're going to
like a restaurant or bar, you have
to get food. We knew that. I didn't know that.
I thought it was Friday, Sunday,
nothing. They don't sell
alcohol at all. So places that are in like
tourist areas can open.
Right. Because they've always been allowed
to, but still got to follow the rules.
But then we went to a place, and they were honestly
taking the piss. They were like, oh, you've got to order
a large, substantial meal
each per drink.
Why? Because that's the rule.
You're there to eat
primarily, and the drink is
an accompaniment.
Is, yeah.
And so you've got to, I think you're only allowed to be drinking
within an hour of eating as well.
What?
So, but then like,
we were just like,
well, let's just get some snack food.
It was kind of between lunch and dinner
and they wanted like,
they were just like,
no, you need to order massive like pizzas.
So you couldn't just get a bowl of fries.
No.
Can we remember when Jesus turned
one bottle of wine into a bajillion bottles of wine
and everyone got litty and went to Jesus Fest?
Well, if you believe that, yes, you can.
Jesus Fest 04.
Imagine that party.
But it was honestly just taking the piss.
And then went to another place on Sunday
and they just ordered our drinks first up
and didn't even care about the food.
And then we did eat food there.
Yeah.
But they didn't say you have to order this amount.
They just let us order whatever.
I don't know.
It's just so backwards.
I went on Saturday, but then everything, rules are off on Saturday, isn't it?
Yeah, rules are off.
Yeah, right.
Because I certainly didn't have any food on Saturday.
Too much drink.
A lot of liquid.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's just so backwards.
Yeah.
It is a bit antiquated, isn't it?
Because we're not a particularly overtly religious country.
Executive Ntunani, you had this at the weekend, didn't you?
Substantial meal rule?
Yeah, we were in Rotorua and got some dinner with some friends
and had a wine.
And then I was like, oh, yes, time for another.
And they were like, cool, you're going to have to get another main meal.
I was like, do I want to pay $40 for this wine?
Is garlic bread a main?
You'd already had a main meal.
Yeah. And then one of you would buy another
one. Yeah, like a meal per drink.
Could you have got a dessert with maybe a dessert?
No, I didn't quite. See, our place, one of the places
was like that as well. I was like, this is ridiculous.
Like, I'm not even hungry.
One wine. But are you angry
at them or are you angry at whoever made that rule?
Jesus.
Mangry, Jesus.
Did he make the rules?
Mangry.
But see, now's the time, surely, with post-COVID and everyone, all the, you know, hospitality
industries are struggling.
Now would be the perfect time to be like, let's get rid of it.
Still have it as a stat holiday.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Where people will go out and enjoy drinks and food more.
But supermarkets not being open, it's ridiculous.
It's so backwards.
Do you know what?
I'm actually heavily on board with you on this.
Good.
Do you know who I've always liked over Easter?
Who?
Garden centres.
Come and pry the compost from my cold, dead hands.
Yeah, they're like, find me, we're open.
Yeah.
Because they make so much anyway, don't they?
It's so backwards.
Come in here and we'll throw a lemon at you from the lemon
trees that have a sale. Great time to plant
a lemon tree. It's just weird, like,
if there wasn't a rule, I would order substantial
food, but when someone says you have to order
a substantial meal, I'm like, don't tell me what to do.
I can't and I shan't
be told.
Fleshforn and Meganuna Megan The podcast ZM
Should I start again?
Now that you've turned my microphone on
I will not be silenced
Let me speak
A painter has been awarded 12 and a half grand
In compensation and lost wages
Because four and a half days into a job
That he believed was going to be 14 weeks long
Okay
He was dismissed.
So there was a big...
I also, I'm thinking about what would take 14 weeks to paint in Blenheim.
A big long fence.
All of the fences.
Every fence in Blenheim was getting a fresh look.
Yeah.
Was there a new build?
Was there like a...
A big building.
A sports thing?
All the railings on a winery, maybe?
Maybe a new vineyard, a new building on a vineyard.
Anyway, 14 weeks work, but after four and a half days, gone.
He was just sacked.
Yeah, there's a whole lot of blah, blah, court details
about the legality of it and stuff,
but apparently he didn't fit in with his co-workers
and there had been complaints about him
from the foreman. Right.
So they let him go. He's got the money now.
Now the guy that was laid off
did raise concerns about his co-workers
cannabis use.
What like on the job?
On the job. Have you ever met a painter?
No offence painters if you're listening.
Oh but their hire's quite stately. I don't know how you're listening. Oh, but they're high as kites daily.
I don't know how you do it.
I've been huffing them all their lives.
We had our house painted,
and they had to put this layer of paint over to seal.
Yeah.
And I walked in with a full gas mask on and goggles on,
and my eyes were watering and I was choking.
I could only be in there for 10 seconds,
and they were just in there with one of those COVID masks on all day.
Like just a paper mask.
I'm like,
how?
I'm sure they've built up like a layer in the lungs
or something like that.
Can't be good for the old lungs.
My grandfather was a painter
and he didn't have anything,
but he was like,
this was like in the 60s and 70s
where he would be dealing with asbestos,
lead, all that, everything. He's absolutely
fine. He's still going.
He starts this job and then
it's like, hey, everyone's smoking weed.
And they're like, oh, you're fired.
Well, no, so then
he complained about his co-worker's cannabis
use on the job and he took that concern
to the boss and the boss said, yes,
I took that on board
but if I acted on everyone that smoked weed,
I would have a painting team list to complete the project.
So easier to get rid of the one guy that doesn't want to smoke weed at work
and keep all the dudes who do.
Didn't he say you don't quite fit in with the team vibe?
Right.
As in like your vibe attracts your tribe.
You're a narc.
Maybe that's why
it was a 13-week job.
It was a four-week job,
but with the weed,
everyone was like,
oh, this was just
a kid's bedroom
and they were like,
oh yeah,
14 weeks probably.
It's been a while.
Wow, so is he gonna,
is he going at them for,
he's been paid out,
yeah.
He's been paid out
12 and a half grand.
12 and a half, that's not bad. And he didn't even have to suck in the. He's been paid out 12 and a half grand. 12 and a half,
that's not bad.
And he didn't even have to
suck in the fumes
for any longer
than four and a half days.
But four and a half days,
it's a short stint.
It's a really short stint.
We would like to know
if you've also had
a short stint of employment.
Yeah.
How long did it take you
to lose your job?
And maybe it was
a bit of a mistake whoopsie from you that did it take you to lose your job? And maybe it was a bit of a mistake, whoopsie, from you that did it.
Oopsie days.
But these things do happen.
Yeah.
Maybe you were a narc.
Maybe you were just a big old narc.
But wouldn't that be a weird thing to go to the boss and be like,
Hey, I know it's my first week here.
Everyone seems to be smoking weed on the job.
I know.
They're like, see you later.
And the boss is like,
you're one of them narcs, are you, boy?
Get out.
Have you ever been fired, either of you guys?
No.
Neither.
I had a written warning once.
Oh, yeah.
Throw those things around.
They're meaningless.
Come in here, threaten me with your paper.
Yeah, I know.
What did you get it for, though?
Oh, dear. I worked in retail,
and I was also at university at the same time and it was a Saturday and it was my day to open up the shop.
At 10am the shop opened, 12pm Hayley wakes up, utterly hungover, driving to work very quickly and yeah, that was it.
Didn't shower, this was like a designer clothing store and I rock up in a Motley Crue T-shirt and a pair of shorts.
How did you not get fired?
We were all friends there.
Oh, right.
So your friend had to give you the warning.
Yeah, it was really awkward.
Ouch, that's even worse.
We're talking about how short a tenureship you had at a job.
That's how long you lasted.
Yeah.
Guy lasted four and a half days.
A painter, he's been paid out because he got axed early
because apparently he wasn't super keen on everybody smoking weed on the job.
I reckon he's going to find it hard now to slip into another crew,
like a painting crew now.
Do you know what I mean?
They're going to be like, you're the rat.
Yeah.
He comes with a new set of painting overalls.
They're like, that's payout overalls right there. Yeah. He comes with a new set of painting overalls that's payout overalls right there.
Yeah. Somebody said,
I quit after one shift at Parliamentary
Catering because the boss had a no ankle
showing rule. What?
Harden? She also told me off for
writing on my hand after the shift.
That was it. I was done. I wasn't coming back.
So shift's finished.
She was writing some detail on her hand.
No ankles. No ankles.
No ankles.
Is that a parliament thing?
Well, you know how they get.
Politicians.
And honestly.
A bit of ankle.
When I see a bit of ankle, I get absolutely set ablaze.
Horned up off ankle.
That's a real problem.
Lots of other stories.
Some really interesting ones.
Talking about the painter that lost his
job after four days because he
and rightly so, he said to the boss, look, everyone's
smoking weed here. And they were like, look,
you should go. Yeah, you're just
not really part of the co-pub or about company.
If you don't want to hotbox the bongo
at lunchtime
with the lads with a couple of open tins
of raisin, that's maybe
best you move on.
Olivia, how long did your cousin last in their job?
So when she was younger at school holidays,
we went up to my grandparents,
and they decided to go berry picking.
They lasted till morning tea
when they came home at about 10.30 in the morning.
Whoa.
Wow.
That is hard work, berry picking.
Because you've got to be gentle with them.
Very strenuous.
Yeah, and also, I couldn't do raspberries
because I'd have to eat all of them.
Yes.
You would have the absolute shit.
One for me, one for you.
Yeah, eating the profits.
Amber, how long did you last in a job?
Four hours.
Oh!
That's good.
That is good.
Now, why did you get fired amber um so i was working
in the vineyards in blenheim and i had to do something called lift wiring and i wasn't very
good at it okay um and you got paid by how many rows you did and the owner came up to me said
sorry amber it's not working out i'm going to let you go and i was like okay to me and said, sorry, Amber, it's not working out. I'm going to let you go.
And I was like, okay, no worries.
And she's like, you also owe me money because I gave you transport
and you haven't done enough work to pay it off.
If she's going to let you go at lunchtime,
she's going to write off the transport cost.
I think so, yeah.
Wow.
Did she give you a chance to get better at it?
No, I think she's like, no, we'll just get someone else in who can actually do it.
Yeah, wow.
And so how much did you end up paying her?
So I think I owed her like 10 bucks or something like that.
Oh, my God.
You own a winery for Jesus.
You should have got her a cheap bottle of wine to pay her.
Brilliant.
Amber, thanks for your call.
Some other short-term employment, shall we say.
I got a job telemarketing.
I was there for an hour and a half.
This is, by the way, this is brilliant.
I was there for an hour and a half.
It was just a really yuck old building.
No one was speaking, but I guess that's because they were, like,
doing their job.
So I just, and it was kind of us really
bored, so I just asked if I could take my break
and I ran away.
Wow.
What were you expecting it to be like?
Expectations. Telemarketing, they just thought it was
going to be fun and laughter the whole time.
Yeah, put on hold and be like, Helen, you'll never guess
what I'm dealing with. Another one,
out of school, I was looking for some part-time work.
I found one of those door-to-door vacuum sales
teams. Oh no. The first day
on, I told
the team leader who also drove the
bongo van
that I didn't really like the hype
chant they were doing and I was not going to partake.
I guess they must have been like an
on-the-way, like a sales chant or something.
They got so angry, they
stopped on the side of the road and wouldn't start again until I got out.
So I had to get out of the car and stand on the side of the road
and mum had to come and pick me up.
That's dangerous.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
Somebody said I lasted until lunchtime on the first day of asparagus picking
and then I got heat stroke.
And somebody else said I never even got the job.
I was a female. I was applying for an admin role at a construction company never even got the job.
I was a female as applying for an admin role at a construction company, 26 at the time.
The company owner started asking me personal questions about my circumstances, like married, etc.
And then he said, look, I'll be honest with you.
The problem with you, Sheila, is you train you up and then you go off and get bloody pregnant.
You're not going to do that, are you?
I think that's illegal to ask in a job interview.
It is.
Yeah. Very illegal. ZM's Fletch, a job interview. It is. Yeah.
Very illegal.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
We are live on Instagram, Facebook.
We're live on Facebook for the reveal of our anniversary presents.
Furniture is the 17-year anniversary present.
And Vaughan and I have been working together now 17 years.
So over the weekend, we lovingly crafted each other a furniture gift and we will now be presenting these to each other.
Yes, but you don't only have to impress each other. You've raised the stakes here. You
also have to impress our resident builder, Peter Wolfkamp.
Greetings. Wonderful to be here.
From the block. Great to have you here.
Lovely to be here.
What are you looking for in these gifts?
I think when you see something that is lovingly
handcrafted, it's almost like you can see
the fingerprints, the little teardrops of love
that are part of it.
You might see that. Oh, well, okay.
You don't want it to look like you've bought it from
Ikea.
Hey, look, I've got a personal affection for Ikea
so I'm not going to say anything wrong about Ikea.
Can't wait for them to arrive here.
But anyway,
I must admit, what I heard before the news about dumpster diving and that sort of thing,
I'm not sure how that's going to go.
It's called upcycling. Big fan
of upcycling and
done more than my fair share
of that as well. Okay. Okay, so
who wants to go first
with the presentation, Jericho? It's a lot of pressure.
It is a lot of pressure. It is a lot of pressure.
I'll present mine to Fletch first.
Okay, all right.
I just roughly wrap this in.
Can you get it through the door?
Yeah.
Good.
Oh, my goodness.
That looks big, doesn't it?
I was listening, though, and I was like,
I've picked up Fletch said the other day
that he doesn't have a bedside table.
Yeah, sorry.
Oh, this is exciting, isn't it?
Okay. Gee, it's heavy. Oh, sorry. Oh, this is exciting, isn't it? Okay.
Gee, it's heavy.
Oh.
Wow.
What?
Have you crafted this with a chainsaw?
Yes.
Oh, hey, that's like bonus points immediately.
Oh, look at that.
Wowee.
And it smells good, too, doesn't it?
So that's made from one piece of wood.
We had a tree cut down at our place,
and the guy said, I'll leave you a big part of the trunk
because I think he couldn't be bothered cutting it up.
But he said, you might be able to get one of those slab cutters
in one day and cut it.
That's actually seriously impressive.
You think that's impressive?
I really do.
I'm going to say from my vantage point,
it's on a bit of a tilt.
It's on the pisser.
You could add a couple of little feet to stop it scratching the floor. It sits. Yeah. It's on a bit of a tilt. It's on the piss, right? You could add a couple of little feet to stop
it scratching the floor.
It does.
I mean, that's part of the job.
Don't fill the glass.
That's the idea. But if somebody renovated their block
room and put this in it, in their
bedroom, would you be saying the same thing?
Well, I don't do the judging, but I think it's
absolutely wonderful. I really like it.
It does remind me, though, of those skateboards that you get.
The hoverboards.
It's like a prehistoric hoverboard.
Yeah, the Flintstones hoverboard.
Like Dad said to the kids, you're not having a hoverboard back.
I made this.
I made you one.
Yeah.
So, Vaughn, what are your expectations in terms of where Fletch is going to put it
and how we might use it?
Bonus points as well.
Do you know what the timber is?
No.
I remember them saying it was a Japanese something.
Ooh.
Japanese maple?
Maybe.
Does it smell like a Japanese?
I don't know.
It's red and stuff.
It's a smell piece that you might know.
There's a bit of red to it.
So you haven't done any joins.
It's just one piece.
It's one huge piece of wood.
Mm.
You know what?
I think it might be.
Hang on.
I'll get back to my microphone.
I actually wonder from the smell
if it could be macrocarpa.
It does smell, but it wasn't
a macrocarpa. It spoiled me.
Beautiful.
Genuinely,
super impressed. I had to sharpen
the chainsaw. I've got three
chainsaws and each of them went blank three times.
So I sharpened chainsaws nine times.
So not only did you think about this and the purpose
and how we'd use it, but you risked your life.
Chainsaws.
Absolutely.
And you sanded it.
I had to.
It's beautiful.
I put a bit of a sand on it.
It was hard to sand.
Yeah, I bet.
All the.
Soak in wet timber.
I had to on the fly change my design as well
because I found a bit of rot.
And of course, you don't want to leave the rot in there, do you?
So it was just going to be a stump
and then you carved out the rot, basically.
I was going to shave a bit out of it,
but then there was some rot,
so I had to redo my approach.
Giving me a rotting table.
It's not rot, though.
There's no rot left in it.
And I cut out the ants bit.
Right.
There was an ants bit.
You don't want those on your apartment.
What's your first initial response to this? It doesn't suit the aesthetic of my spit. Right. It was an ant spit. You don't want those on your apartment. What's your first initial response to this?
It doesn't suit the aesthetic of my apartment.
Right.
But it can be painted black.
Well, I thought I could give you this at this stage of it
and then from there you could put your own spin on it.
It could go next to the toilet maybe with a wee candle on it perhaps.
Yeah.
A little Sequoia candle.
You know?
Something like that.
A nice Sequoia.
It's wonky.
The candle could slide off. Yeah, you do. I wouldn't light the candle. You know, something like that. A little Sequoia. It's wonky. The candle could slide off.
Yeah,
I wouldn't light the candle.
Thank you,
Vaughn.
Thank you very much.
It's my pleasure.
Thank you very much.
Now,
I will bring in now
my gift for Vaughn.
Now,
I know that you've got
a very Scandinavian feel
in your house.
A lot of,
you know,
you're surrounded by bush
at your house.
Yeah.
And I thought
this piece of furniture
will be good for the kitchen.
This is a kitchen specific thing.
Okay.
Okay, I'd like to bring in to you my gift.
And that is, oh, Peter, don't laugh.
What is it?
That's a paper towel holder.
Yes, for the kitchen.
But it's a natural.
But you've put a tree in it.
Now, you did say on mine that it was on the piss,
but watch, yours are standing.
No!
Oh, timber.
Well, no, that might just need a bit of a lean in the kitchen
against the wall.
Just need to find the sweet spot.
So that is a paper towel holder for the kitchen.
Right.
How do I get the next roll of paper towels on?
It's a good question, Vaughan.
You have to detach the tree.
So what I've done is I've got a one and a half, two metre tree branch
and I've screwed that to the base and that's your paper towel holder.
How do you...
Where did you find the base?
Yeah.
That's been upscaled.
That was just...
I found that.
I think it was an old lamp.
Oh, Vaughan, just watch out.
You're hitting the lights there with that.
So we'll just get your initial
thoughts there, Peter.
I have to say that the creativity in that
is genius. Thank you. And having
been in plenty of places where people upcycle
old branches and that as decoration,
I have a soft spot for that as well.
Practically speaking,
you could run into
trouble with the overhead cupboards.
Yeah. But he's got a large, he's got a big roof, he's got a big ceiling
right, the pitched ceiling
yeah the pitched ceiling in the middle
so that's going, so
I tell you what won't be okay there
having to screw it to the bench top might be a bit of a disadvantage
just a practical thing
and my wife is not going to want this
and so she's going to
she'll message me any minute saying
please don't even bother bringing that home. Please don't bring that home.
I have to say, I mean, I'm not an expert at all,
but creatively I think this is inspired.
Thank you.
Upcycling, it's the future.
It's far more than I expected.
I underestimated you.
Thank you.
You know, if we see this on Pinterest in a couple of weeks,
I wouldn't be surprised.
I wouldn't be surprised, yeah.
It actually does feel like something
hipsters might get on board with.
This is, yeah.
But again, like you say,
to change the actual paper towel roll,
you've got to unscrew the whole base.
And I did glue that on,
so maybe to serve those.
It's glued and screwed.
It's glued and screwed.
So if you have a spill you want to really think about
if you want to use a paper towel or not.
Yeah.
Vaughan, your emotional response.
I'm taken aback.
This is beautiful.
Thank you very much. Thank you. Wow. I'm taken aback. This is beautiful. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Wow.
I know that you were concerned
about the possible areas of rot or ants in my wood,
but yours literally just dropped bugs out of the many.
Well, yeah.
That's the problem is that is a dying branch.
Is it?
Yeah.
So which bin did you go dumpster diving for that branch?
Or was this just a random walk in the domain?
That was actually a reserve.
I believe a car hit a tree and that was already dead on the ground.
So I've upcycled that.
Famously at a reserve, you shouldn't be cutting trees.
No, no.
The leaves would be a lot greener if it was a fresh branch.
Yes.
I did think about a fresh branch, but no.
Peter Wolf came from the block. who are you choosing to win?
Oh, look, hands down, I think this little pedestal is just magnificent.
The fact that it is lovingly handcrafted, you've used a chainsaw, and, you know, there's
something really, really attractive about it.
Not all of us own a chainsaw.
Well, my jigsaw is broken now.
Yep.
I really struggled to get into the hard, wet wood of that stuff.
I was going to shape the inside pedestal as well.
Yeah, lovely.
Hopefully the 18th anniversary present is tools.
Is it?
No, I'm just saying.
It is.
Look it up.
Congratulations, Vaughn. Well done.. Look it up. See what it is. Congratulations, Bourne.
Well done.
You're the winner today for our furniture competition.
And in a healthy relationship, there are no winners.
The relationship's the winner.
Okay?
Hmm.
And we're winners today.
No one here believes that.
Peter, thank you so much for coming in and helping judge these.
And to keep up with Peter, head to residentbuilder.co.nz.
Lots of tips and tricks there.
Absolutely.
And any new block coming soon?
Yeah, there will be another series this year.
Nice.
Okay, looking forward to that.
Thank you so much for coming in.
Pleasure.
There's been a study that has deciphered that people can't tell the difference
between a good scream and a bad scream.
A scream of joy and excitement or a scream of fear.
We can't tell the difference.
Well, I think if you're walking through a park and it's like one in the morning.
Someone may be proposing in the middle of the park.
And they're like, ah!
Right, okay.
I screamed when I got proposed too.
So what they did is they did a test.
They got a bunch of people in.
They put headphones on with no visual cues
so you can't see any smiles or, you know, cries or whatever.
And people had a really hard time deciphering
between a joyful scream and, yeah, one full of fear.
Is this men or women have trouble?
Both. Both, both. Really, I would have thought. Anyone, regardless of fear. Is this men or women have trouble? Both.
Both, both.
Really, I would have thought.
Anyone, regardless of gender.
Okay.
Trace, are you saying you screamed
when you were proposed to?
Maybe squealed.
Right.
I'm trying to think about,
because this is something I think about often,
like when was the last time I truly screamed?
Yeah, right.
On a roller coaster?
No, I go,
Me too, I go, I can't scream, my gut's just coaster? No, I go, huh? Me too.
I go, huh?
I can't scream.
My gut's just going like, huh?
I just go, ah!
And then I just laugh.
Sometimes at work, when I'm being silly, I scream.
Yeah.
And then I see stars afterwards and my voice goes a bit weird
and I don't feel well for the rest of the day.
Could you use your acting?
Yes.
Because as you do like to go on about it,
you went to drama school, Hayley.
I have a Bachelor of Performing Arts, bracket, acting
from the New Zealand Drama School.
Vaughan and I will close our eyes.
Yes.
Bachelor of Performing Arts, brackets, drive-thru.
How very dear are you?
That's just that.
A little shot across the bow there.
So Vaughan and I will close our eyes
because we're in the same room,
but listeners obviously don't need to close their eyes.
Yeah.
And we'll work out which is a scream of joy and which is a scream of terror.
Yes.
Okay.
I'll give you two screams.
Yep.
And then you can figure out which one.
I'll have to get into the-
Maybe not too close to the microphone.
Oh, no, no, no.
Like off mic, off mic.
Okay.
Okay, Vaughn.
So I'll give you one scream.
I'll leave a space and I'll give you the second.
Okay.
And we have to-
Okay. I reckon you- Yeah. Okay. Okay. Further away? I'll give you one scream. I'll leave a space and I'll give you the second. And we have to. Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Further away?
Yeah.
Further away.
Like, it's distant.
And yeah, we're not looking at you because obviously that would give it away.
Okay.
Yep.
Three.
Oh, Jesus.
Did you hear the mics just go?
The speakers go.
Okay.
All right.
Scream.
All right.
Scream two.
Okay. Okay. that one was definitely...
That was terror.
Scream 2 was terror.
I'm too good of an actor.
Yeah, you absolutely sold it.
I'm too good.
But the first one also had a little terror about it.
I think had I not have given you the second one...
I was thinking one was the terror until I heard the terror of the second.
What was the first one inspired by?
The first one was a big gift.
Ah, big gift.
I'm so excited.
I can distinctly remember getting a Sega Master System 2 for my birthday.
It was like six or seven.
And I squealed and my uncle and my auntie said,
Stop squealing. And like ruined my birthday.
I can remember being told off for squealing with pure
and I've never squealed with excitement since.
Okay.
I've never screamed with pure joy.
I'm going to squeal a subtle one and see if you can figure it out.
Okay.
Okay.
Terror.
Here's the second one. Okay. Tira. Here's the second one.
Okay.
First one was Joy, second one was Tira.
Yeah, you've got it.
Actually, it just sounded like a yappy dog, that one.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day is about Space Jam.
Because I watched Space Jam for the first time at the weekend.
So why?
How did you miss it?
I don't know.
Here's the weird thing of why it's weird that I never watched Space Jam.
I, when it came out, was like 14,
and I wore Tasmanian Devil t-shirts.
I was a big Looney Tunes fan.
A looney nerd.
Watch the tunes as we go, bro.
Timber Tasmanian Devil was wearing like baggy jeans and a backwards hat.
He was a cool, modern, urban Tasmanian Devil, much how I saw myself.
Did you watch this because of the new?
So the new Space Jam 2 trailer came out.
Yeah.
And I was watching it and my daughters were like, who's that?
What's going on? And I was like, we need to watch Space Jam.
Yeah.
And they were like, that sounds dumb.
And I said, I don't care what sounds dumb.
You're watching Space Jam with your dad.
And I'd never watched Space Jam.
So at the weekend, I watched Space Jam.
And I thought it aged pretty well.
I've never seen it.
Like the graphics and stuff.
Yeah, right.
I just thought it was stupid that there was a movie
and they'd put a cartoon rabbit in it.
And I was like, I don't believe it.
It's not believable.
It's not believable.
No, but it's joyful.
Look, there was a lot of weight on Michael Jordan's shoulders
to carry that movie because he was just acting.
I've been doing some reading about the original Space Jam.
He was just acting to an entirely green screen.
Oh, okay.
The whole basketball court was painted green
and everybody there was in full green suits.
Oh, right.
So he had to do a lot.
And you know what?
He didn't do too badly.
And LeBron James is in the new one, isn't he?
LeBron James is in the new one.
I didn't know how many famous 90s basketball players
were in the original Space Jam.
But today's Space Jam fact of the day is that Space Jam
is the highest earning basketball movie of all time.
Really?
Yeah.
White Men Can't Jump was the basketball movie prior to that.
Yeah, right.
That has made the most of the box office.
But as yet, Space Jam is still the highest earning basketball movie
at the box office.
Because it's a classic.
I mean, is it a crowded category?
Are there many movies about basketball?
I'm not sure.
High School Musical?
It's about basketball.
Yeah, it is about basketball.
It's about the Wildcats.
Yeah.
Get your head in the game.
Get your head in the game.
Get your head in the game.
Love and basketball.
Yeah. Have you Googled Love and basketball. Yeah.
Have you Googled movies about basketball?
Well, maybe Space Jam 2 can knock it off its perch.
Right.
But also one of the guys that was a sports commentator, Jim Rome,
who was in Space Jam but only just for like a little bit right at the start,
every year he still gets a residual check for his appearance in Space Jam. In 2014
he shared his invoice
which came to a total of $6.38
Wow
Okay. Just gotta sign some sort of
backdoor agreement with it
So today's fact of the day is Space
Jam all these years later is
still the highest earning basketball
movie at the box office
Fact of the day day day day day years later is still the highest earning basketball movie at the box office.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
A woman has been sharing her experience of dying.
She died thrice and... Why don't you just say three times like the rest of us?
I kind of feel like thrice makes me sound, I don't know.
Like private school?
Posh.
Yeah.
Classic.
So, thrice she doth die.
And she opened up about what she saw.
Now, I've read accounts of this before.
Yeah.
Where people say, you know, I saw a light.
And your life flashes before your eyes, all the best bits.
Exactly.
So, she had a heart condition,
which meant that she had died on three separate occasions.
Each of the times, she said that she,
no word of a lie, jumped out of her body.
It's like her soul bolted out of her body,
couldn't see anything apart from a bright white light
and herself, like she could see herself dying.
These were the bright lights in the hospital?
Yeah, well, could be.
Because I thought, isn't there an explanation, scientific explanation for the light at the
end of the tunnel?
Yeah.
Moving in slow motion towards the light at the end of the tunnel.
It's DMT, right?
It's a drug that you can manufacture, but apparently there's the pineal gland, which is a pine cone-shaped gland in the brain,
which releases this DMT,
which includes the side effects of euphoria, floating,
vivid hallucinations, altered sense of time,
and depersonalization.
So depersonalization is you're out of body.
You're out of body, right.
Your altered sense of time,
it could feel like you were gone for a day,
but it was literally like...
She also said it was in slow motion, like she was drifting away from the air.
Vivid hallucinations and floating.
I know.
Euphoria.
Our bodies are amazing, aren't they?
They're like, you're about to die, so I'm just going to give you a sweet drug.
I know.
How do we get that going without needing to die?
Yeah.
Just like, hey, I've got a Sunday afternoon spare, Brian.
How about you kick me some of that DMT?
I've woken up a bit grumpy.
Give me a little bit of that.
You don't want a DMT on the way to work.
No, you don't.
You want to clear your schedule if your brain's going to drop you some DMT.
But she said it's a really weird, nice feeling,
and it made her feel better about diet.
So that's the idea, right?
How is she, this is her third time, like what is she, a cat?
She said she's had the exact, I know,
well she's got like a chronic heart condition.
Oh, right.
So it's not like three different times.
She's had three horrendous near-death experiences.
She's got a heart condition.
Her heart fails.
Right.
And she said every time it was the exact same experience.
Wow.
Isn't that crazy?
Have you ever had a near-death experience?
Either of you.
Oh, I've nearly been run over by like four buses lately.
You guys have been there when I've nearly died like four times recently.
But that's not really like actually being hit by the bus
and having that come back to life.
The adrenal gland pumps,
but the old pineal gland's not releasing any DMT into it.
Well, I want to know from our listeners, if anyone...
Don't think.
Okay, you have little faith. Has anyone died? And come back to it. Well, I want to know from our listeners if anyone... I don't think. Okay, you have little faith.
Has anyone died?
And come back to life.
Well, you just want to talk to someone that's
died and come back to life. Yeah, and I want to know what
their experience of it was.
I'm very much a scientific
man.
This paper was reviewed by Dr.
Ellen Carter Pharmacy.
Yeah, right. Written originally by Dr. Adrian Santos Longhurst
about what we need to know about DMT and the spirit molecule.
I know you're new to radio, Hayley,
but normally when we do a topic,
we like to choose something broad that a lot of people can call in about.
No, I want...
Hang on.
Tell us something about your mum.
It was only a few weeks ago that we asked if anyone accidentally gave birth
without knowing that they were pregnant, and we found someone.
Yeah, we did, actually.
So I want to know, have you died and come back to life?
And if so, what was it like?
A woman on social media has been sharing her experience
of the three times she has died and what she experienced,
what she saw, and then came back to life to be able to share it.
And so I was asking, is there anyone out there
who has had a similar experience, who has died,
and come back to life?
And I want to know what their experience was.
And I was like, you're not going to find anybody.
You had such little faith in the story,
but we have managed to find someone who has died. Jane,
good morning. Good morning. So you died and came
back to life? Yes, I was revived. Wow.
And what, did you like see, like they say, light at the end of the tunnel
or do things flash before your eyes? Yeah, so
for me, what it was was everything went black.
And the best way I can explain it is like strobing light.
And it was flashing these very beautiful, clear images
of my children and everybody that I loved.
So it was people.
Your life flashed before your eyes?
Yeah, all my children, my parents, my brothers, my husband, friends.
Just like a flashing montage, really.
Any animals?
Like, I'm wondering if my cat would go as well because I don't have a partner.
Well, I'm asthmatic, so I'm actually allergic to animals, so I've never had animals.
So no.
But probably if I did, it was everybody I loved.
And it was just this feeling, like a tingly, warm sensation.
Like you feel at peace, at ease, like happy, like content kind of feeling,
almost like being really drunk.
Well, that's what you would do.
That's what this drug does.
Your brain magically can pump in when it's like chugging down.
Yeah, it's apparently, yeah, like a serotonin that's released in the brain
when things happen.
But you were still there mentally experiencing this.
Like you were...
Well, yeah, I woke up.
When I came to, I was in recess and they then explained to me that, you know,
I had actually passed away for a few minutes and that I had to be revived.
And it took a couple of days to fully comprehend,
but I still had, like, the feeling and the memory was still there.
It was still quite vivid.
That's the thing it says about this is that everything's so vivid
and it does feel like a memory's been created.
It does.
It is.
Yeah, yeah.
It was really, it was a peaceful feeling.
So, yeah, I'm not afraid to pass away now.
The good old brain, eh?
The good old brain's like, just, uh-oh. Follow me away now. The good old brain, eh? The good old brain's like, just
uh-oh. Follow me. Yeah.
That is so crazy, isn't it?
Jane, thank you so much for sharing that with us. I've never
heard anything like that. Yeah.
It's okay. Like, apart from, like,
movies and... Yeah, okay.
It's an interesting thing because, I mean,
speaking on behalf of myself, I'm not
religious, and so I feel like
it'll just go, you know, and I won't have a god
like experience to look forward to. But now
this.
No, my experience
was good and it put me at ease.
Yeah, I don't fear death anymore.
I'm glad you didn't speak on everyone's behalf
there, Hayley. Fletch is
full-blown Baptist. Oh, he is
deeply religious. No, thank you so much
Jane for sharing. Some other people messaging in, thank you so much, Jane, for sharing.
Some other people messaging in as well.
Someone said,
guys, I've died six times
in the last four years
and I've never seen anything.
Oh, wow.
No explanation.
I said six times in four years either.
That's the thing.
When Jane was saying,
you know,
all these memories,
like it's almost like a final slideshow
that somebody's done
and you're sitting in the lounge watching it.
What would be on my slideshow?
What if it was all the things I hated?
I reckon it's-
Like all the times I was in line waiting for things.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Or like all of the dumb things you said you immediately regret.
Yes.
I reckon-
When someone's like, hey, how are you?
And you're like, hello, good.
How are-
Oh.
Yeah.
I reckon given that yesterday was your 17th anniversary as a working, loving relationship together,
I reckon it'll just be Vaughn.
You'll just see Vaughn the whole time.
I'll be like, where the hell's Vaughn?
Why isn't he here yet?
Where is Vaughn?
Just a montage of Vaughn rocking and late.
And then I'll die later that day.
Because of that.
And it'll be like, no, Bob.
Yes.
Wow.
But yeah, it's crazy.
A lot of people messaging in.
One time time somebody said
When I dislocated my knee
The ambulance officers
Gave me a gas
And it felt funny
And I felt like I was floating
That's
That's not quite
What we were after
But yeah
I'm going to the dentist
Today actually
And I'll be
You're on the nangs
I'll be asking for the nangs
For sure
You're going to a hygienist
Yeah
Very sensitive in the mouth
Can you ask for the nangs At a hygienist Yeah you can No you can't Yeah you can Are you kidding to a hygienist? Yeah, very sensitive in the mouth.
Can you ask for the nangs at a hygienist? Yeah, you can.
No, you can't.
Yeah, you can.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, you can, just to relax you.
Why go to the hygienist?
I'm a super anxious dental patient,
and they'll just give you a little bit of...
Nangs.
Do they go to the dairy too and say they're whipping cream?
Yeah.
Outrageous.
That's how they do it.
Outrageous.
They don't need to lie.
They're dentists.
Oh, right.
Somebody else said, my
mum had a near-death electric
shock after my grandad's funeral.
It had rained and she turned on the dryer and it turned out
to be earth. She got blown across
the room and she said in
that moment, the grandad said to her,
it's not your time. And she
woke up and now she's religious.
Oh, wow. I love this.
She woke up and now she's religious. Not living wow. I love this. She woke up and now she's religious.
Not living every day
like it's her last. No.
No.
I died briefly. I got a large
dose of pain relief too quickly.
And apparently my
vitals all shut down. I was
resuscitated, but I really felt like I had an out-of-body
experience when I saw myself lying on the bed.
And I was like, come on, wake up. And then I whooshed back into my body. And then resuscitated, but I really felt like I had an out-of-body experience when I saw myself lying on the bed. And I was like, come on, wake up.
And then I whooshed back into my body.
And then resuscitation.
It probably was only a few seconds, but it felt like forever.
So this all lines up with this chemical in the brain
and mix it with the painkillers that have overdosed you.
What an incredible cocktail.
Well, no wonder people fall in love with the St. John's guy
when they wake up and they're kissing them on the mouth.
We need to learn how to bottle this. And sell
it. Yeah. It's illegal.
It's a controlled substance.
Pretty much all around the world.
