Starting point is 00:00:00 ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. He has to live with me, so he puts up with a lot, but he's a top guy for a variety of reasons. One, for my birthday this year, he bought me off Trade Me two absolutely pristine blocks of ever so mysterious caramel chocolate, my absolute favorite chocolate. He refuses to tell me how much he paid for them, and I almost cried when I was opening them. I was too scared to eat them because once they're gone, it's gone. Caramel's been back since then.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Is it still back, though? It had an over-summer revival, didn't it? Nah, it's gone again. It's gone again now. He listens to the podcast more or less every day. We're both in on the show. Secret drink to Princess Diana. Princess Diana.
Starting point is 00:00:51 To the People's Princess. To Mother Teresa's BFF. I mentioned she had a controversy with Mother Teresa. That wasn't it. It was. Their personal fave podcast moment was recently when Caitlin told you all you were running late to go to a movie premiere in Newmarket
Starting point is 00:01:10 and everyone lost their minds. Oh, yeah. One time... Oh, my God, where are you telling us? Oh, my God. One time... It's not how we sound, Caitlin. ...even rang in front of your phone in segments
Starting point is 00:01:18 and got on air something about a guy he knows who has the V can symbol tattooed on him and now gets hooked up with free V. I remember the call. Yeah. It's his birthday on the 17th of November and the only way I know how to repay him for the caramel is to surprise him with a podcast shout out. Well, his birthday happens again this year in November 2018.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Surprise. Surprise. We're early or we're late. You choose. I mean, like a nice brand new car would have been nice too, but I'm too poor. I made a hole in my bedroom wall and he filled it and painted it for me and now it looks new so I won't get in trouble. Why don't they go out, these two?
Starting point is 00:01:49 Is he... It sounds like he's been friend-zoned. But is he... Or is he the love of her life and he's right in front of her and she doesn't know it? Oh my god, this is a cute rom-com. This could be a rom-com.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Neither of us are international right now. We're both in Auckland. I can assure you that I would much rather be shit-faced on a yacht in Italy lapping up the sun than going to work on a gloomy Wednesday where I'm writing this message. What is both their names? Jo. Yeah. And her flatmate, Jamie.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Jo and Jamie. Jo and Jamie, yeah. I mean, it works really well. Joe and Jamie. If this helps, I was just at Friday Jams this weekend, just gone, and seated across from the Vodafone lounge you guys were on, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching all the shapes you were cutting. If I was a judge on Dancing with the Stars, you'd get a 10 out of 10.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Happy birthday, Jamie. Thanks for being a fabulous friend and flatmate and for getting me caramel chocolate. I only hope that this very loose loophole results in a happy birthday message from our faves. We got there. I don't want to make it awkward between them, but it's definitely something public. They should definitely kiss.
Starting point is 00:02:55 They should just make some sort of formal agreement that you'll just try to kiss, and if that's good, do what you're going to do. And it won't be awkward. If it's not, then forget it happened. Yep. Agree to disagree. Matt Rose.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Hey, guys. What's it like in the year 2020 when I assume this will be getting read out? Sass. Cheeky bass. Sass. This is from my friend Luke, who's currently living in Brisbane, Australia. I've known Luke for seven years, and I'm hoping an episode will make him listen to you guys and something so bloody stubborn.
Starting point is 00:03:21 So with any luck, as of right now, you have a new listener. He just got a job as a data scientist for a gas company. So I'm very proud of him after all these years. He finally meets the real world. Producer one,
Starting point is 00:03:33 aka Bae Caitlin. Caitlin, she's just coming back with her drink. Pack up the mic, Caitlin. I know I'm only 22, so too young for you. But you're my fave. You're the only one
Starting point is 00:03:44 I've talked to on the phone, and it made me so happy. Legit felt like I was talking to royalty. Do I have a weird voice or something? A royalty voice. How you can treat me like the princess you are? He's just like 10 years too young. 10 years too young? You're not 30, Caitlin.
Starting point is 00:04:02 No, I need someone over the age of 27. Matt even goes on to say James' voice is a lovely deep voice. You should be on air more often with that lovely voice. If I get a word in, you know. He doesn't say much, but when he talks, he makes it count. Quality words. Quality words. I've got no socials to plug,
Starting point is 00:04:25 which is just as well as Safety Dad is surely not happy. Please never leave. And one day you might get an all-expense trip to Africa. We can bless the rains. XO, XO. Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl. Edward Garland is next.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Not 100% sure where to send this, so send it through here. Dear Mrs. Papadopoulos, Deputy Prime Minister Smith, the cat captor, hot mess, pack rat, and retired fuck boy.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Would you class James as a retired fuck boy? I've never considered James a fuck boy. What's a pack rat? A pack rat is someone that buys things and then just steals them away. Like the... Oh God, you are a pack rat. A pack rat a pack rat
Starting point is 00:05:05 you're not talking into that that worked tune your broadcaster that worked this is my first international podcast shout out from

Starting point is 00:05:23 oh yeah I was going to say a bad criminal Megan would you be able to google the Bedfordshire Clanger for us sounds like a really bad... Oh, yeah, I was going to say a bad criminal. Megan, would you be able to Google the Bedfordshire Clanger for us, please? We'll come back to you momentarily. My awesome girlfriend Katie has been listening to the show for five years before I was on the scene. You guys would help her get to sleep when she was scared or alone. Oh. She introduced me to you guys one night during our dating phase.
Starting point is 00:05:41 I was woken up by some dulcet- dudes and girls talking in the bedroom and I've been listening ever since. Unfortunately she doesn't get much time to listen as her commute's only three minutes long. However I get to listen to the podcast every day which makes her jealous. After years of saving and being tight ass we're finally making the move to immigrate to Middle Earth, land of the long white cloud and we've both got jobs in Christchurch
Starting point is 00:05:59 Katie is flood risk and drainage engineer and I'm a building surveyor We land in Auckland on February 6th We're staying a few nights Then we'll be touring down the North Island In a motorhome These people came into the studio Yeah they came into the studio
Starting point is 00:06:13 I was going to say This all found The drainage we talked about We talked about drainage We talked about flood risk I love a good chat about flood risks And the floodplains And the levels
Starting point is 00:06:24 What's the beverage you're playing at? Oh my god What do you think it is? A rapist I love a good chat about flood risks. In the flood plains. In the levels. What's the Bedfordshire clanger? Oh my God. What do you think it is? A rapist. No. Is it poos? No.
Starting point is 00:06:35 It's definitely something off Urban Dictionary or something, isn't it? No. No, wait, wait, wait. James, what do you think? I heard cling. Something clinging to you. Clanger. Oh, like a clanger. A clanger or a clinger. A clanger's a vagina.anger. Clanger. Oh, like a clanger. Clanger or a clinger.
Starting point is 00:06:45 A clanger's a vagina. Bedfordshire. No, it's not a vagina. The Bedfordshire vagina. I've never heard a vagina called a clanger. A clanger. Is that what you get? A clanger.
Starting point is 00:06:56 No, you're all way off. Clunge is the only word. Oh, don't say that word. I know it's a horrible word, but Caitlin couldn't hear me. I was off mic. Clanger. My wife's appalled. Check out the clanger. You say that's an old cl it's a horrible word, but Caitlin couldn't hear me. I was off mic. Clanger. My wife's appalled. Check out the clanger.
Starting point is 00:07:06 You say like that's an old clanger. It must be some old thing. No, you're all wrong. What is it? Well, the one that I pulled up, it's like a type of baked good. And so one end is sweet and one end is savoury. Ah! Never heard of it.
Starting point is 00:07:20 So, yeah, one end is pork and cider and the other end is roasted apple. So it's like a whole meal It's like a two course pie It's like a sausage roll That sounds wonderful Why don't we have those? I don't know You know what I'd really like? I'd like the border
Starting point is 00:07:37 The demilitarised zone where the pork seeped into the air You know that little bit of switch I changed it That would be a real delight There's a beef and ale and a rhubarb, a vegetable curry and a mango. We need to get those here. I'm into the beef and I'm into the pork. Okay. Well, I'll go on.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Oh, that sounds good though. I'm excited about that. So yeah, Edward and Katie came into the studio. I remember this. Very nice people. They took me on the motorhome. Yep. They're motorhoming the Coromandel,
Starting point is 00:08:05 Ha'he, Hobbiton, Waitomo. That's right, because we talked about all these places. Rotorua, Taupo, Tongariro, Wellington. And is there anything to really see between Tongariro and Wellington? Look, you're settled in. We don't need to answer that question. If you guys want any treats,
Starting point is 00:08:18 again, this is too late. That would have been great, though. We'll look for some white chocolate Maltesers, but those aren't made anymore, so you'll never find them. What do you do with the motorhome when you get to Wellington? You've driven the edges, pushed it into the ocean. Yeah, you sit on fire and then tell Maui, I don't even know what happened.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Right, but you're a demigod of the man and woman. You can sort this out. Benjamin Campbell is next. I'm bringing you an episode from China. China. China. When my sister and I are on a 10-day tour as a celebration. She finished her post-grad course in sonography.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Okay. Raiders. Scanning the babies. Scanning the babies and testes. Okay. Scanning the testes. I just finished my Masters of Earth Sciences, which studied tectonic fault in Northern Hamilton.
Starting point is 00:09:04 He'd know about your bloody salt lambs. Probably, to be honest. He'd be well versed in salt lambs. And Anya's bullshit wizardry of salt lambs and auras. It's all about the vibes. Thesis writing was shit house, but the constant stream of podcasts was a ray of light. There was also a highlight
Starting point is 00:09:26 when I worked at ag research in the Tron sampling cow urination events in soil with Emma Bagley. A genuine thanks to the crew for lifting the mood when dealing with cow piss. China is insane. Definitely one for the bucket lists.
Starting point is 00:09:38 If you want to see pickies, my answer, Megan, are you ready for this one? Yeah. Ben Campbell NZ. Ben? Ben Campbell NZ. We. Ben Campbell NZ. We're in a tour.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Highly recommend. Couldn't imagine trying to freeball this country. It's insane. Unfortunately, the tour is dominated by dithery old Australian racists. My sister booked from Australia where she lived. So far, highlights include the Great Wall. Far more developed than I thought. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:10:02 There's a picture of him with the Great Wall. Him with the Great Wall. Him with the great wall. What do you think he means like the village around, like it's built up, cities come close to it more than the totally rural. Yeah, I reckon. Lotus Lane in Beijing. Watching my six foot tall white
Starting point is 00:10:17 sister be accosted by four foot tall Chinese ladies for photos. The renewed appreciation of how stunning New Zealand is. Lowlights have included the Chinese government having a say in the appreciation of how stunning New Zealand is. Lowlights have included the Chinese government having a say in the organisation of the tour, so the transparent attempts to exhort money from us at boring, overpriced pearl and jade factories, especially when Chinese jade sucks
Starting point is 00:10:36 compared to New Zealand greenstone. Having to deal with bottled water for everything and my sister breaking her only set of headphones, my spare pair I kind of gifted to her, so having to share a pair on the five-hour train from Beijing to Suzhou was terrible. A tip for anybody traveling in China, WeChat means you can access Western internet from Wi-Fi,
Starting point is 00:10:56 but I reckon getting a global roaming plan from your home country is the way to go. Unintended internet access. Courier. We got a courier. Oh my God. I love getting couriers. What is've got a courier Oh my god I love getting couriers What is it?
Starting point is 00:11:07 This courier is going to be like What the fuck is going on here? Do you know courier Oh this is so fun There's like six people in there And they've got bomb making equipment Couriers are like Christmas What is it?
Starting point is 00:11:16 What is it? What do you reckon it is? Who's it for? What's for me? What's for you? Is it poo or cheese? No Is it Uggs?
Starting point is 00:11:24 Why I don't If it's Uggs It's tiny Uggs, it's tiny Uggs. That's from a PR outlet. What is it? Some sort of bag. Oh, it's some... I think it's some shaving product. Oh.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Sorry, it's a bit boring. But that's in your little toiletries bag. Oh, lovely. Oh, it's a shave cream. I've heard wonderful things about this shave cream. Red can. When you shave your whole head, you need a good shave cream. Low irritation.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Back to the show. My episode goes to Helen Talbot, Hamilton North's favourite posy who has killer calf muscles until they introduce those little electronic vehicles. R.I.P. posties hot legs. Yeah, well they don't have to do anything now, do they? You look like such a dick in those too.
Starting point is 00:12:12 You have to wear a helmet. Oh yeah, you do. Safety's no joke, Megan. Also to Vaughan for clarifying the rowing camp situation at the Outback a few years ago. Attached us a photo that night which shortly after I got X'd from Da Club. It was bullshit. Apparently
Starting point is 00:12:28 I was too drunk. But what do you expect when you're selling 1.5 litres of beer at a time? I've still got those glasses in the cupboard. That was from that beer fest we did in Hamilton. Also, I think Katie Tunstall's song, Black Horse and the Cherry Tree rocks. And that would have been a great Friday flashback.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Megan might see you at Lana in Brisbane I saw you got tickets tell us that story Megan no because I miss yeah so I was supposed to
Starting point is 00:12:52 go on Thursday and my friend was getting married on Saturday so I had to sell the tickets it was heartbreak heartbreak for me

She looks very healthy. I'll be travelling to Singapore at the start of December to represent New Zealand in the Oceania Powerlifting Championships.

Starting point is 00:22:19 after a girly weekend in Berlin. Trying to convince my boyfriend, EO, with a thing over it, I-N, that's apparently pronounced Owen, to pick me up from the airport in exchange for A, being a general disappointment, move to Scotland and meet a brawny Scotsman and end up with a skinny Englishman instead, and B, not having to go to church when I
Starting point is 00:22:38 take him back to meet the parents in Kaikoura this Christmas. I listen to you guys every morning to keep up my fuck accent, and Owen, by Osmosis can now sing the fact of the day jingle. His favourite used to be Vaughan until he found out
Starting point is 00:22:50 you didn't poop regularly on holiday and as if I can't and as if three times a day poop or rain, hail or shine he was not impressed at your nervous
Starting point is 00:22:59 bowel constitution. How much is he eating to shit and or do it all at once? I only stop once a day. Once, yeah. Sometimes twice, depending on what I eat. No, I do two.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Really? Sometimes, mostly two, I'd say. I've broken myself one abhorrent shit before bedtime. Yeah, right. Do you shit before bed? I try to do it on morning. No, because I... That's awful.
Starting point is 00:23:19 We're not awful. In the en suite. Yes. Not in the en suite. No, I use the downstairs bar. Oh, right. Either way. I trained myself when we started working mornings.
Starting point is 00:23:27 I was like, A, I'm not shitting at work, and B, I don't have time to shit before work, and C, I don't want to shit when I get home. That's a long time to wait. So I trained myself to shit before bed. That means you're shitting after dinner. Yeah. Yeah, my mum used to say, those who go before a meal go because of need. Those who go after a meal go because of greed.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Oh, that's a good one. What does that mean? I want to eat over a shit because I want to fit more in. No, because you've eaten too much for dinner. Oh! No, it used to be a morning. It used to be a morning, but then we started working mornings and then he goes
Starting point is 00:24:00 on to say, as requested, here are my top tips for travel.

The Kissing the Blondie song, is it wiped?
Starting point is 00:24:38 No. Between kisses? No. It sounds like a meningitis hotspot. A hub for meningitis. Take my advice, run away screaming, drink a lot to calm yourself down. It sounds like a meningitis hot spot. A hub for meningitis. Take my advice, run away screaming, drink a lot to calm yourself down. I also include a bonus top list.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Most surprising locations that have great wine. Slovenia. I've heard Slovenia's got great wine. In fact, Slovenia might have the largest single cellar of wine. I think I heard that on the podcast, No Such Thing as a Fish. They deal with that. And it's huge. It's absolutely huge. It's one single wine cellar
Starting point is 00:25:06 Croatia Germany Austria and South Africa all great wines now I wanted to end my episode with a question we're looking for tips
Starting point is 00:25:13 for an English lad about how to meet his very Kiwi in-laws for the first time do's and don'ts well it's a bit late isn't it but we can give them
Starting point is 00:25:22 because he's already met them in Kaikoura I think so it sounds like he came back for Christmas so he already met them in Kaikoura. I think so. It sounds like he came back for Christmas, so he already met them. He's having to retire his Pope jokes for the month. P.S. Speaking of the Pope, have you ever heard Tim Minchin's songs, the Pope song, and thank you, God, I have.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Very good for atheists. Don't go into it thinking you're going to hear a lovely song, which is actually thanking God. Owen's favorite is if I didn't have you, Keyline, if I didn't have you, I'd probably just have somebody else instead. So, yeah, I mean, this meeting's gone down. We'd love to know how it went. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:51 But I'm sure he did fine. Patty Ryan, I hope this is the right place for a podcast. Shout out. Thought I'd exploit a loophole as I'm currently in Australia, but actually live in Christchurch. Hashtag sneaky. I just finished my fine arts degree with honors, so naturally I'm about to start working for my dad as a train layer.
Starting point is 00:26:06 This is the thing about a fine arts degree. Yeah. My shout out is actually for you guys, as long as I can remember I've listened to the show. I've been through some tough times, great times, and boring travel times, as I'm sure all the podcast family can agree to. Caitlin, you may remember me from sliding into your Insta DMs
Starting point is 00:26:23 asking how to spell Nungas. Oh, yeah. Remember this young fella This sprungly young fella I don't think it was like in a creepy way He was just like talking to someone And was like you use the word Nungas How do you spell Nungas N-U-G-G-A-H
Starting point is 00:26:39 No that would be Nuggas N-U-N N-U-N. Nuggers. N-U-N-G-A-H. But that's the generally agreed spelling of Nuggers. N-U-N-G-A-H. Oh, you rubbish guys here.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Waste management. Did you put your rubbish out? Is that a bit out? Yeah. A bit out. He's lined it up. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, this motherfucker doesn't get out of the truck. Does he have robot arm yeah you watch his robot arm go up is it a high-vis turbine
Starting point is 00:27:10 that is so inappropriate carl fletcher but you're right it is a high-vis turbine you're also yelling and the door's open no he can't hear oh, I didn't mean it in a bad way. I just meant like that. I've never seen a high-vis one. No, you're right. I've never seen a high-vis turban either. But they're normally white, aren't they? That's right, though.
Starting point is 00:27:30 That's insane. Because if you're wearing a beanie and winter working, you've got to make it a high-vis. You can get different colours. Are you kidding me? It's like a health and safety law to have a high-vis turban. What, if you're going to wear it? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:41 But I know if you're going to wear a beanie and a situation where that is required. Turbans are all different colours. Yeah, he just probably wanted to match his jacket Serious question That's true Marry up your colours
Starting point is 00:27:48 Is it just like me wearing a hat I can choose any colour I want or do they mean something Serious question I don't know but there are different colours For different things
Starting point is 00:27:56 Lots of different colours Okay Kayla maybe you could research that And also can you Health and safety laws with turbans I'm just going to finish
Starting point is 00:28:02 patties and then we're going to get back to the genitals and where you inherit your penis size and your vagina shape from I wish to leave you with turbans. I'm just going to finish patties and then we're going to get back to the genitals and where you inherit your penis size and your vagina shape from. I wish to leave you with a story that I
Starting point is 00:28:09 always wanted to submit for last calls. I started talking to a girl and she asked if I ski and wanted to cover the mountain and of course I lied and said yeah how
Starting point is 00:28:15 hard could skiing be. Flash forward to finding out she skied for Australia and her whole family ski race. I'm not sure at which stage they realised I had lied about my
Starting point is 00:28:24 skills but I'm pretty sure it might have been when I got stuck on the T-bar lift and dragged up the mountain screaming out with flailing limbs. I love when people lie about knowing how to do something and then have to do it. It must have been somewhat impressive though, as we've been dating ever since, and now giving the long distance thing a go. Thanks, heaps of much love from Paddy. All right, thank you Paddy.
Starting point is 00:28:40 We go down to producer Caitlin who has compiled a thorough report on genital size and where you inherit it from. Just quickly before that, we'll talk about the turbans. So each colour is just like a different colour. So there's no like cultural significance to colours? Some colours like orange, blue and white are traditionally worn during religious celebrations or occasions. Red is traditionally worn during sick weddings. Sick weddings.
Starting point is 00:29:05 So that was Hiver's orange. That wasn't a celebration time. So maybe it is. He does have to wear a... Yeah. But you're wearing a jacket. That's enough, right? No, I've heard if you are going to wear a hat in certain industrial circumstance,
Starting point is 00:29:21 if you are going to, it can't be a dark colour. It's got to be bright because someone could misjudge where your head is. Right. If someone was to come through the factory. So maybe he does. Maybe it is a legitimate requirement. Penises. Go on.
Starting point is 00:29:35 So it's kind of like if your dad's tall, then you're going to be tall. You know how they always say like, oh, their parents are pretty tall, then they're probably going to be tall. If your dad's got a big dick, you've probably got a big dick. Oh God, I love that. But I read that one brother might have a big dick and then the other brother might not.
Starting point is 00:29:56 You can inherit different... I know someone that slept with twins. Who? I know someone that slept with twins and they had identical penises, but that's different though. That's twins though. They're genetically almost like a card and copy. Also, it actually has nothing to do with race
Starting point is 00:30:12 or anything like that. It's always about your height and overall proportion. That's not right though, is it? As a six foot two man with a small penis I'm waving my America's Cup protest flag. And it can be on hormones as well.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Like earlier when you're developing. Yeah, I was on a lot of estrogen. But do you ever get it from your mum's side then? Or is it just from your dad's side? It says here you can get it from your mum's side. Truck driver there is bald. He's not wearing any high-vis top, but he's wearing a high-vis jacket. Yeah, that's true. Maybe
Starting point is 00:30:45 it was the turban and the helmet. No, I don't know. Why is there a digger on our road? But also, apparently, if you don't use your dick that much, then it gets really small. Like a muscle. Can you pass that to Anya? Anya, it's your turn to do
Starting point is 00:31:01 a home report on dick size. No, you have to use it. You have to, like, touch it and stuff home report on dick size. No, you have to use it. You have to like touch it and stuff. It's like it's a muscle. You have to touch it and stuff. Take it to the doctor. Give that to Anya. She's going to do a report. I need my computer.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Can you do it on your phone? Anya, can you please do a Google? No, I'm with this. I believe it. And vaginas come in all different shapes and sizes. Is there a correlation between vaginas? Like if your mum's got a mint fanny, are you going to get one? A mint fanny?
Starting point is 00:31:33 I don't know. I'm just reading this. This is an opinion piece. Oh, yeah. So, okay. I don't even know. What a fact piece. Anya, produce a fact piece for us, please.
Starting point is 00:31:43 You read the news. Oh, you already got an answer. Yeah, this article says, I never doubted my brother and I had the same father until I saw the size of his genitals. So I don't know if this is true. So the brother saw the other brother's dad? No, but it says, the one I read, it said it was just like eye colour.
Starting point is 00:32:00 So you could get chromosomes from your mum or your dad. So you and your brother could have one could have big one could have small I don't want to get my mum's dick No but if you have your mum and if you have your mum's your grandad your grandad on your mum's side
Starting point is 00:32:11 What do you have to say to mum? Mum what was grandad's dick like? Because I don't know where I got my dick from Like blue eyes you're like oh okay grandad had blue eyes
Starting point is 00:32:20 I got grandad's blue eyes Did I get grandad's dick? Which grandad? Okay somebody consider. Very important. Do you want to know the different vaginal shapes? Conical, parallel sides, heart, slug, and pumpkin seed. Slug.
Starting point is 00:32:39 I don't have a slug vagina. That's the duddest vagina shape. A pumpkin seed, that's quite cute. That's my vagina. A pepita. A pepita. That's what they call. A pumpkin seed, that's quite cute. That's my vagina. A pipita. A pipita. That's what they call them. Oh, mami, da pipita.
Starting point is 00:32:49 That's what they call them in South America. Yeah, yeah. Mexico. Anya, if you just spend 10 minutes here to get a good answer for us. You know, you should go to Quora, K-U-O-R-A. No, Q-U, isn't it? Q-U, K. Oh, yeah, Q.
Starting point is 00:33:02 No, but then they ask you to sign up after you've looked it up. No, no, no, no. You just Google. You just search within that website for someone will definitely answer that question. But you know what you need to do? Put your hands up if you've got a slug. Fuck. That was so weird.
Starting point is 00:33:20 No one's putting their hand up to having a slug. We've all got little papitas. Papitas. Big old slug. We've all got little papitas. Papitas. Big old slug over here. No one's blaming that old bloody tree stump, Tammies. You may have a little peanut, but you've got a bush in your hand. What if PJ said something? What if a vagina looked like a cactus?
Starting point is 00:33:40 We didn't hear about what PJ said about me. No, PJ was the pizza slicer. No, PJ was the pizza slicer. What were you? Duck bill. Nothing. Did you say duck bill? No. What was the pizza slicer No PJ was the pizza slicer What were you? Duck Bill Nothing Didn't she say Duck Bill? No
Starting point is 00:33:47 What was yours? This is Caitlin by the way Mine is a perfect vagina I've just got a heavy flow Okay Good God Alright moving on From one Caitlin to another
Starting point is 00:33:57 Caitlin Penty Now I've got an edit I've got edit notes for this one Because I'm going to read this as it came And then what happened in the meantime. Caitlin said, Hi, I'd like to request an international podcast shout out if I may. I was intended to send this
Starting point is 00:34:12 while I was in Melbourne over the weekend, but it was a short trip and I was busy so I exploited a loophole instead. Now this is the Caitlin that told us that Jonathan Groff was coming to New Zealand. Oh, she went to Jonathan Groff's teachings in Christchurch. Great chat with him. I'll keep this short.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Dedicating this episode to my boyfriend, Liam, who's from Perth, living in Sydney, currently in Melbourne, working as a stage manager for the Pop-Up Globe. We met in August last year
Starting point is 00:34:34 when he was in New Zealand for a show and have been together since. He's probably the okayest person I know. I introduced him to the podcast during a mini-roady
Starting point is 00:34:42 of the South Island a year later. He loves you as much as I do and he can finally tell Fletch and Fawn apart. You may remember us from your Shortland Street debut. I came wearing a cape, and he gave you an outstanding review and recommended you try your hand at treading the boards. I remember. I wasn't going to give any compliments because F the rules and also stay humble, I have to say Megan you're going to be a beautiful bride and I look forward to seeing
Starting point is 00:35:06 some wedding steps. I'm pulling a fletch and flying back to Melbourne on Christmas Day because shit guys flights are so expensive over the holidays.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I had to spend two weeks with Liam before heading back to work for 2018. It'll be the first time we've spent more than a couple of days together since
Starting point is 00:35:20 September and I'm very excited. It's a great tip for getting cheap EFS. On Christmas Day. People want to be with their families or some shit apparently. Yeah. You're all about saving some dollars.
Starting point is 00:35:30 There are a million more things I could say but this is already getting quite long so I'll leave it at that. Thanks to the entertainment. Thanks to the podcast during work days and workouts. Here comes the edit. Caitlin messaged me soon after saying that her and Liam were no more. They'd broken up
Starting point is 00:35:45 she said I'm no longer with Liam you can still do the shout out but I'm not with him anymore I know they're over that's sad when they were apart things seemed to be good didn't they but then when they got back together
Starting point is 00:36:01 maybe they realised that it was Anya. Why are you laughing? This is a tender moment. What's happened? What's happened on that side of the room? There's some,
Starting point is 00:36:11 some overall sniggers coming from the North end of the room. Whereas the South end of the room, professional consummate broadcasting professionals and Caitlin are maintaining a non giggly. I had my finger in the olives. I was, I was the olive. I was there. Is the olive another shape of vagina?
Starting point is 00:36:30 Oh, could be. Could be, couldn't it? If you open the olive, it's got that little bit in the middle. That's weird. Do you have a pet in your vagina?
Starting point is 00:36:37 No, no, no. I'm talking about Don't worry, Anya. I'm not going to explain what the vagina looks like. Are you going to explain what your giggles were about? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:36:44 No giggles. Let's keep going. Next, Bri Stewart. Hi, fam. My name's Bri. You may remember me from such shout-outs as my Christmas Bali adventure with my family and boyfriend. I'm riding this on a plane, typical, on the way home from one month in Japan with my two
Starting point is 00:36:59 best friends, one of which I dedicated my previous shout-out to. I'll keep this brief, and I'll use bullet points to try to stay on track. I dedicate this podcast shout out to Amy, who I'm traveling with, even though you can't read a map to save yourself, all passive aggressive. We would be nowhere near as organized without you. Our other friend that we're traveling with doesn't listen to the podcast in
Starting point is 00:37:16 spite of my constant nagging that she should. Thank you to the podcast to help me cope with my hospital job. It helped me save enough for this trip. Even though I enjoy being a barista, talking to people all day is not my forte. Funnily enough, Vaughn came into my work on my last shift before this trip and I didn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:37:34 And his kids were even more cute in real life. That's good because I tell them off a lot when they're being rowdy, when they're getting up to ruckus. I don't know where that would have been. To anyone thinking of going to Japan, you simply must going in the autumn.
Starting point is 00:37:47 This is what somebody else said about going to Japan. Japan seems, so our spring is their autumn because they're a northern country. That seems to be the time to hit Japan. Because of the autumnal colours. Well, the autumnal colours are wonderful. Some of my must-dos are Dotonbori and Osaka, Hiroshima's Peace Park, Mount Fuji,
Starting point is 00:38:04 the Torii Gates in Kyoto, and just all of Tokyo. Word of caution, though. If you are a vegetarian, you will seriously struggle to eat traditional foods or finding food in general. The people of Japan are amazing and kind. Even if you look mildly confused at a map,
Starting point is 00:38:17 someone will try to come up and help you. Oh, that's nice. Interesting that they're vegetarian. I've never heard that vegetarians might struggle in Japan. Here's hoping the second shout-out brings me up to friend of the show status. Guaranteed. After your second shout-out. And by the time you guys read this out, I've sorted out my life
Starting point is 00:38:36 and hopefully no longer working in hospo. Thanks, Heap. Sorry the bullet points didn't keep me on track and keep this short, but I tried. T-Heap. You did. Thanks again from Briar. Thank you, Briar. I need to go wheezing.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Anya, have you got an update on the... Have you done some research on the peanuts? Um... I was doing it, and then I started thinking about magnums. So I stopped. So before the shoutouts today, we went to the supermarket. Vaughan wasn't
Starting point is 00:39:02 here at the supermarket, but we were loading up the trolley, and Anya brings in boxes of Magnums, plain-flavoured Magnums. Legend. Clementine Flatley is next for the podcast. Shoutouts. I'm just going to continue in Vaughan's absence
Starting point is 00:39:14 so we can get through these. Sorry to do this to you, but can I please request an IPSO? I've already had an IPSO this year, so I'll keep it short and sweet. Soz for being greedy. Looking forward to hearing the 2018 special, perhaps Vaughan's turn.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Smoked mates and banter from Indian August. Well, they're not here, are they? They're at the grandparents this weekend. Feeling vulnies after my second night out in Madrid. Bad life choices made by me and my Bessie mate. Consumption of an Aussie hottie. Whoops. What do you think that means?
Starting point is 00:39:40 Consumption. Consumption of an Aussie hottie. Did you? I need Carl to tell me I'm not a sluzzer. You're not a sluzzer. What does consumption mean to you? I just think she slept with an Aussie. That's all that happened there.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Shout out to my mate Liz for encouraging tattoos and excessive tequila. Hopefully when we play this to her, she'll finally agree to listen to the potty. Thanks to the FEM team for the lulz and keeping me sane during a very stressful year. Clementine Flatley, who engaged with an Australian earlier. What's happening outside the window? Is there a digger?
Starting point is 00:40:16 A couple of houses down. Our neighbour's neighbour is taking his quarter acre section and subdividing it. And it's been the talk of the street. I bet it. And it's been the talk of the street. I bet it has. It's been the talk of the street as to how he's going to do it, what he's going to do, what kind of house he's going to build on the front half of the section
Starting point is 00:40:30 after the current house has moved to the back. Goodness me. Okay. All right. You sit back down. I've done Clementine. Marie's up next. Marie Stenning.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Here you go. Always good to hear from Marie. Where's Megan? Oh, she's having a spew. She's on the phone. Has she? She's on the phone. Oh, she's having a spew. She's on the phone. She's on the phone. Oh, she's on the phone. I thought she'd nipped her for a nap.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Marie Stenning, who is a friend of the show, friend of the show. We've heard from Marie before. I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say, Merry Christmas or Happy Anzac Day. Earlier in the year, I had my first episode where you thought it was hilarious that I was in Canberra. I'll give you that one.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Doing my international trampoline judging course. Well, joke's on you because my trampoline judging has also taken me to Switzerland this year. And I'm currently sitting in Singapore's Changi Airport, which is a huge airport. It's a wonder of engineering, isn't it, Changi Airport? In Singapore. It certainly is, Morgan. It's huge. It's in a big U-shape, three different terminals. You can catch a train between the terminals.
Starting point is 00:41:24 We got a free tourist $20 voucher to use. $40, I believe. And you can spend it on whatever you want. You just have to line up to cash it in. It's a pretty sweet gig as most trips are majority funded as well as making lifelong friends from around the world. Great to see different places too. As Sofia Bogara, this is Sofia in Bulgaria,
Starting point is 00:41:43 not Sofia Bogara, the woman off Modern Family, was never on the bucket list but looking forward to doing some day trips to Serbia and Macedonia on my days off. Upon my return to New Zealand, we're packing up the family and moving to Melbourne to start up the delicious Fritz's Wieners across the ditch. So soon Aussies can be introduced to decent sausage as opposed to the old cheese sizzlers they seem to think are the best things ever. However, the whole snake situation where we're living is making me quite fearful e.g tiger snakes and brown snakes in the area fuck that trying to keep awake for my 12 a.m departure
Starting point is 00:42:15 5 a.m new zealand time so i'm riding the travelators up and down as i need to stretch my legs but i'm actually too tired to walk hindsight has told me that high heel boots weren't a smart choice for traveling as they didn't fit in my suitcase. That's when I went through Changi Airport I was wearing a size too small chucks
Starting point is 00:42:30 so I pulled the laces out and that was just an awful, awful idea. Everything was terrible. Never fly in chucks. Definitely don't fly in heels because your feet swell up. I have to wear flight socks
Starting point is 00:42:39 because my legs swell up. That's when I got a deep vein thrombosis when I was wearing chucks. Really? Yeah, that's why I'm like, I reckon they did it. They're out the window,
Starting point is 00:42:46 you get a healthy shoe. Also, I'm listening to the podcast, so I'm looking like a bit of an idiot, having a bit of a grin on my face walking around this airport. Thanks for the podcast. Happy holidays. Love from Marie.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Thanks, Marie. Sarah Burkett is next. I was just doing that just so you could eat your chips warm. This is stalling for a second of time there. Canan, would you be able to slice me one slice of each of the cheeses? From Poohoi. Poohoi cheeses.
Starting point is 00:43:14 What's that? A cheese. I think that's a rindwashed brie. Don't touch that. Don't poke it. I think that's a rindwashed, I don't know what kind of cheese. That's the brie and then there's two blues. The kaiwaka blue.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Two do I for. Okay. I wrote't know what kind of cheese. That's the Brie. And then there's two blues. The Kaiwaka Blue. Two die for. Okay. Gelder. I wrote this in September and totally forgot to send it. Pretty please. Greetings, everybody. I wrote this en route to Bali during the height of the great jet fuel crisis of 2017. Remember that?
Starting point is 00:43:38 Yeah. The line got punched in by a digger. That's right. Wasn't that April? No. October. Much later in the year. October, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Suffering from anxiety and not having left New Zealand in nine years, you'll understand my annoyance that some douchebag has put his digger through the only fuel pipe to the Auckland airport. And they've never, do you know they closed the case on that? They were like, we don't know who did that. Really? Yeah, they were just like, uh. They gave up.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Yeah. A 50-minute stop at Brisbane Airport to refuel, and now we're on our way. Anyway, thank you for being my morning, sometimes afternoon. Listen, the humour tickles my fancy and at present my husband is laughing at me laughing at you. I frequently poke myself in the eye while applying mascara
Starting point is 00:44:16 or get caught crying with laughter at the traffic lights. Some very lovely compliments thus here follow. Mention of the show Secret to Lady Diana, to Princess Di, the People's Princess, the Minesweeper of Cambodia. And yes, you're right. Love you guys.
Starting point is 00:44:35 She's got some cheese for you. Do you want them on crackers or do you just want one at a time? I want them on those oat crackers. Please. Do you want the... What have we got there? Is that like a quince? It's so good.
Starting point is 00:44:46 The quince paste. Yeah, I'm down for some quince. I need more quince in my life. Hi, FEMZ. My name is Zoe Brook. I'd like to caress that international pocket. Shout out for Lauren Jewhurst. Lauren, I have no idea if you remember me,
Starting point is 00:44:58 but we went to Blamace UN Intermediate together. I think we might have been in Mrs. Patterson's class together. I saw you pop up on the fan facey page when you were in hospital And hope you are 300% feeling better and doing awesome I've been living in New Zealand's most western city, Perth For the last four years studying dentistry I graduate on December 12 and I'm returning to live in the motherland On December 13 I am at Beyond Jazz
Starting point is 00:45:20 My boyfriend and I are planning to walk the South Island section of the Te Araroa track 1300km from Bluff to Ship's Cove. We've been doing long distance so every night and day tramping and tent sleeping together might be a challenge. Thanks to the potty. You've been the light on many a dark homesick day. P.S. Vaughan
Starting point is 00:45:40 and everyone else, if you're ever in Dunedin and need a dental checkup come in. It's like ripping off a bandaid. Just get it done. and everyone else, if you're ever in Dunedin and need a dental checkup, come in. It's like ripping off a band-aid. Just get it done. You actually do need to get your crown actually replaced, don't you? Well, you just got yours done
Starting point is 00:45:53 and it was $1,500. Well, yeah. They've got the temporary one in. I'm getting the real one next week. Christ. Should have gone to Thailand for that. Should have. Got to get a little holiday.

Love, Ed Van Oosten. He's short, formal and to the point. I like it, Eddie. I like it. His name made up a very large, his name and his

Annalise Bond is next. International podcast incoming. My name's Bond. Annalise Bond. Shout out to myself. I'm currently sitting in Fiji in some very intense heat.
Starting point is 00:46:36 It's 10.20 a.m., 29 degrees, 98% humidity. I'm here for 14 days. Anyway, a group from a glorified farm of a university, Lincoln, has headed over here on a somewhat cultural slash mission trip.

Starting point is 00:48:22 a Kentucky. Mine went around Eastern Europe. Highlights include partying on a river cruise in Butterpiece, getting lost in Venice.
