Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. Thanks to Spark, get even more data with their prepaid rollover packs. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Thanks Anya. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Good morning. Another morning for a lot of people without power. Did I see on Instagram stories Ross Boss, still without power, went and got a hotel? No, that was the night before. I believe they had power back last night.
Starting point is 00:00:26 But yeah, there's people just around the corner from us. I thought my neighbourhood was sorted, but there's people still around the corner just in no power. I don't actually know what I would do. How you wash your hair? In the stream. Because they're cold water, right? In the stream.
Starting point is 00:00:42 Find a stream. A non-salty stream. Yeah, that's when a gym. A non-salty stream. Yeah, that's when a gym membership comes in handy. But what if the gym doesn't have power? Well, yeah, that too. Yeah, it's true. Oh, so many things to think about.
Starting point is 00:00:53 So many. Awful, awful things to think about. All right, it's Friday. More cash for you to win today with Heads or Tails. Thanks to MyTags. We're going to play that 8 o'clock this morning. So if you'd like to play to win that cash, you've got to register first.
Starting point is 00:01:05 ZM Online. It's Friday flashback day today. I know. When you said, yeah, it's Friday, I was like, oh, damn it. It's my Friday flashback. Okay. I'm on it. Always leaving it to the last minute sellers.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Like she did with her homework. Pot, kettle, black. Yeah, we're Kiwi way. We're all pretty bad like that, aren't we? And Friday Jams back again today, 9 o'clock today. The A to Z of Friday Jams, which I believe goes A, and then you play a B song. Right.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Is it songs or artists? Well, probably either or. Probably either or, yeah. Probably either because I don't know. Whatever made it easier to. Any bands with Z that were big in the 90s. Zebra. I was in a brainstorm to try and figure out X.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Exhibit. Exhibit. No. Come on, guys. Does that start with X? Yeah. Yeah, okay. It doesn't start with an E, white guy.
Starting point is 00:01:54 No, I thought he was exhibitioning. No, he's exhibit. He is an exhibit. Drop the E. All right, you lot. Listen up. It's story time. All right, three news headlines for story time.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Weird, unusual, wacky news stories from around the world. Unusual stories. Vaughan and Megan picked one headline only. Headline one, geese grounded. Headline two, woman copyrights herself. And headline three, and this is actual, actual headline, Louisiana law to ban sex with animals wins Senate vote 25 votes to 10. I heard about that.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Think about that. Just let that settle in for a moment. In Louisiana, it's never been illegal to have sex with animals. It's never been illegal. They finally put it into writing and took it to their state legislation. In 2018. And they voted on it. 25 people said yes.
Starting point is 00:02:54 10 said. 25 people said yes, make that illegal. 10 were like, wow. I didn't even think about the 10. No, that's what you actually, that's why I said you've got to let the headlines sink in. Is that anonymous? No, but there is a reason. Oh.
Starting point is 00:03:09 What is it? They want to have sex with animals? No, it was, we're not going to do this story, are we? No, but you've got to tell us the reason. No, well, maybe I won't. No, I'm just going to tell you because I don't want to do this story.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I just wanted the headline. There was also homosexual slash sodomy laws in this. Oh, in the same legislation. In the same legislation to make it illegal. You can't put that in the same. So they lumped in man on man. Yeah. And man on beast.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Or man on animal. Whether it was like historical man on man, something like that anyway. So yeah, I think that's why those 10 votes were there. They were like the really conservative religios slash maybe just wanted that as a cover for still being able to sleep with their animals. Jeez. But I mean, come on, Louisiana. Come on.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Okay. So headline one, geese grounded or headline two, woman copyrights herself. Well, I think I know geese grounded, or headline two, woman copyrights herself. Well, I think I know geese grounded as well. Okay. Was that the lightning strike that killed like 100 geese? Yep. Oh, yeah. Old Vaughan Smith all over the news.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Did it, I know the headline, but did it strike them in the air and then they all fell to the ground? Or did it strike them on the ground? I don't know where they were when it struck. I think I thought they were ground based but in the air makes more sense because then it could have disrupted them and
Starting point is 00:04:29 it could have been the fall that killed them. Were they struck in the air or on the ground? Well I'm not giving away everything.
Starting point is 00:04:35 If you want that story to... Just point which way they were struck. In the air. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:41 That'll explain that the fall was fine. Fine. Okay so headline two it is then. Oh, two. We go to California now, and a federal court judge, District Court in California last week,
Starting point is 00:04:52 entered a judgment against a man and ordered to pay him, and ordered him, rather, to pay $6.45 million in damages against a ex-girlfriend who he shared naked pictures and videos online. This is a case of revenge porn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Now, it is the second largest payout for a victim who wasn't a celebrity. Really? So normally the celebrity revenge porn cases, because I guess they go everywhere and there's a lot of attention. Very high profile. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Yeah. But whereas this guy, I don't know if he's going to be actually able to afford $6.45 million. Because what happens if you can't afford a court payer? Just pay it back at $5 a week. I think so. Forever and ever. That's a bit rubbish, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:38 The interesting part about the story was, is that this woman was finding her images on websites, adult websites, all kinds of websites online. She was saying to them, this is me, please take this down. Do you know, a lot of them were just ignoring it or refusing, simply refusing to take them down. I've always wondered what
Starting point is 00:05:59 they'd do if you approached and said, hey, in all seriousness, this is me, and it's... If you're Joe Bloggs and not a celebrity, you'd have to lawyer up. It'd cost you more money. It'd cost a heap. It'd cost so much money, it would be ridiculous. And there's actually no, I don't think the law has fully caught up. Yeah, because I was going to say, could you contact the police or authorities?
Starting point is 00:06:18 This is what you do. And this is what she did. Right. She copyrighted. She copyrighted. Do you She copyrighted. She copyrighted. Do you say copyrighted? She. Because she copyrighted her breasts.
Starting point is 00:06:32 She copyrighted them. So then she could say to these places. She could sue them on copyright. Yeah, then she has legal grounds to sue them because they're using her copyright. Her breasticles are on their website. So then she can say to them, you're infringing copyright. You breasticles are on their website. So then she can say to them, you're infringing copyright.
Starting point is 00:06:48 You need to take those photos down. Whereas before they were just like, eh, eh. What does it take to copyright one's breasts? Um, a big form. I think, yeah, it might have to go into some paperwork, but you'd maybe have to prove that your breast was... Yeah, maybe do you need a distinguishing feature? Like a birthmark?
Starting point is 00:07:09 Like a nipple. Or an odd nipple. You'd need a map, a digitally map your nipple, I would say. Are they like a fingerprint? No. No. They would be. Every nipple would be different.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Right. And I'm assuming you'd have to go to court or some kind of legal office and show them. Because I was thinking that's quite a good idea, but then isn't it sad that she's had to do that? Yeah, that is sad. Exactly. And a long way around, too. A long way around to get it, you know, like copyright.
Starting point is 00:07:38 You can't do it overnight. There has to be a period where people can object to the copyright. Like her mum could have been like, well, actually, I made those, so I'd like to apply for copyright on them. Yeah, there is actually a legal company in California that does a lot of this pro bono and helps victims that have had an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend revenge porn them.
Starting point is 00:07:58 But yeah, pretty crazy, right? Yeah. Right. I'm just trying to could copyright my stuff. That's saying you're at the risk of someone spreading that around. Yeah, but you'd have to describe it and it doesn't do well under the year description. Skinny. Skinny.
Starting point is 00:08:18 I would get a nicer word for skinny than... Slender. Slender. Slender. No, that's even a worse way to describe one's penis. It's a slender penis. Slim.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Slim. Slim. Svelte. I feel your... Svelte. It's a svelte penis. No, I feel your svelte, slender penis
Starting point is 00:08:38 has had a lot of air time this week. It sure has. F.M. Day eight of the Commonwealth Games was yesterday. Day nine today. Congratulations. The hockey team beat England, the female Black Sticks. F.M. Day eight of the Commonwealth Games was yesterday. Day nine today. Congratulations. The hockey team beat England, the female Black Sticks.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Right. So what does that mean? We're in the semis? Well, we kept Australia scoreless. We're doing pretty bloody well. Right. In the hockey. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Yeah. On that bright blue turf. Bright blue. Yeah, is that weird? Is it normally blue? Well, back in my day It was green It was green
Starting point is 00:09:07 Yeah It just looked like grass Probably grass though Wasn't it You actually played on grass We used to play on grass And then like Only the good games
Starting point is 00:09:14 We got to play on turf But it was green And it was a sand turf So if you fell over on it It was like falling over On gritty sandpaper Right yeah But now these are water turfs
Starting point is 00:09:22 So there's like Ground up road tyres Underneath them And they pump water up into it. It's weird. It's pretty legit. I've been on a sandy one. It weirded me out.
Starting point is 00:09:30 You should have a run on a water one. Oh, I don't know. Do you squeak when you run? Oh, I don't know. Maybe that's a good call. Like squeaky shoes. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Maybe you squeak. But they're doing really well. We got a gold and silver last night. Mountain biking. Oh, a bit of drama there. I don't know, what was the drama? The guy that won is some sort of pedal-based freak. Like, put him in anything with pedals and he can win.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Unicycling, penny-fathering, pedal-karting. There was a breakdown and then there was someone ripped the fingers and then they came out and apologised. He broke down on the final lap but then got his puncture fixed, got back on his bike and still won gold. And then the guy that came second was a bit iffy about it,
Starting point is 00:10:17 as I would be too. Popped tyre, it's like, here I go, gold medal time. And then the guy like zooms past you, you're like, what? So there was a little bit of poor sportsman. There's been an apology issued this morning. Still, they look like whiny, like grumpy. Yeah. They looked a little bit grumpy.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Do you know there's more African athletes that have gone missing as well? Because there was eight originally. Now I think there's 14. So I'm all for them. Give them permanent residency. If you can train hard enough that you can be top of your country in a sport with the primary objective to skip the entire games and not even compete. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Just to live a better life. But just because you're good at sports doesn't mean you can break the law. I would. No, but it's like scholarships, you know. People get to go to private schools because they're huge and good at rugby. Yeah, that's weird too. It's like Australia should give special scholarships they're huge and good at rugby. Yeah, that's weird too. It's like Australia should give special citizenship to people who are good at sport and if
Starting point is 00:11:07 they don't use sandpaper to rough up a cricket ball during a match. That's also another great thing to have in the sporting repertoire. So there's eight Cameroonians, two athletes from Uganda and one from Rwanda and also a men's double squash player from Sierra Leone.
Starting point is 00:11:23 And none of them actually have competed, have they? No. So they don't turn up for their, like, what they're supposed to compete in. At least pretend you're going to. Yeah, you've done all the training to get there. At least do the race and then go missing. So we have slipped to.
Starting point is 00:11:39 You're too tired to run after your race. You've got to do it while you're full of energy. Good call. Go do your carb loading and then just boost it. We're now sixth on the medal table. Again, overnight, South Africa just nudging ahead of us. No, but who else is ahead of us then? Because they got ahead of us yesterday.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Oh, India. They've gone right up to third spot. Both of them have got lots of people. No, Canada. Yeah, they've got 12 now. Canada have gone above us. They were below us. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:12:03 So, Australia, top of the table. Do you know they have 63 gold medals? 156 medals in total. Home advantage. But, I mean, home advantage. So, you can put a lot of athletes. But they always do well at the Commonwealth. Yeah, they do.
Starting point is 00:12:13 England second. India, Canada, South Africa, and then New Zealand. We're followed by Scotland, Wales, Cyprus, Jamaica, Nigeria. And so on and so on. And so forth. Yeah. Right the way down to... Who's bottom?
Starting point is 00:12:27 Oh, Vaughan. Let's not do that. Solomon Islands. They've got one medal and it's a bronze. Norfolk Island. Wait a minute. Aren't they part of us? Oh, I don't...
Starting point is 00:12:41 Don't get into geography. Is Norfolk the one with the... Pines. Oh, they like to sleep with each other. See what I mean, mate? Like family. Oh, yeah, there's one of those islands that's a bit like that. Pitcairn.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Oh, one of them. Are they on the middle? Yeah, mate. No, they're not. Cousin kissing, not yet a Commonwealth Games sport, which I find disgusting and discriminatory. But when it is, they're going to be right up there. Pitcairn will be like,
Starting point is 00:13:06 oh yeah, we'll go in. Yeah, we'll give that a go. Yeah, we'll all go. The whole team of us. You remember last year that guy got dragged off the United flight in America kicking his grave? Oh famously, wasn't he a doctor? He was, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:22 And then people were recording it and blah blah blah. Well, now the security guard that pulled him off that flight, the guy kicking and screaming, the guy that pulled him off, he's suing United. Wait, wait, wait. The security guard's suing the airline. Yeah, so everyone's suing everyone.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Because did that guy get any money? Was that ever settled or is that still ongoing? I would imagine he had a fair case against the money. He would have got so much money from that. I think he did. But remember, they went on a real offensive and like found all this. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Complete slander against him. So now the guy is saying, well, we didn't really have any training or I didn't really know what was, I didn't, you know, just can I have some money? Because it wasn't like the guy guy if I remember rightly, sorry, the guy wasn't causing trouble. He was being removed because they oversold the flight and he didn't want to get off, right? Yeah. And then it all got a bit fisty cuffs and he refused to move so they dragged him off.
Starting point is 00:14:16 So the security guard, obviously, his face was on this video. Yeah. And he's kind of worn it a bit. So who was the one that punched the guy? Because he had... No, didn't he fall while they were dragging him? Oh, okay. I don't think anyone like fully punched him.
Starting point is 00:14:31 I think he was... It was like when my... There was a small period of time when my brother was bigger than me. Yeah. And the best way to, you know, avoid being dragged or taking someone you didn't want to go
Starting point is 00:14:43 was just to be dead weight. It's quite hard to move dead weight. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah, before I could, you know, avoid being dragged or taken somewhere you didn't want to go was just to be dead weight. It's quite hard to move dead weight. Yeah, it is. Yeah, before I could, you know, fight back. Because he was a bit older than me, so he had that puberty. There was a time where I remember thinking, uh-oh. Uh-oh, he's got me. I better grow.
Starting point is 00:14:56 And then I think I willed myself to grow because then I outgrew him. And the draggy became the dragger. Yeah. God, we broke a lot of things. I know, same. Yeah. Well, I broke a lot of things. I know, same. Yeah. I think of the collateral damage my parents' house suffered. Their toilet door's still got a crack in it.
Starting point is 00:15:11 From when you were fighting. Yeah. Probably a good thing you've got two girls. Yeah. And not two boys. No, they'll just launch psychological warfare on each other. Yeah. Like have year-long fallouts because we'd have five-minute fisticuffs
Starting point is 00:15:24 and then just be on to the next thing. FVM, the podcast. FVM. A couple in the Wairarapa have finally checked their lotto ticket and they took home $12.5 million. Now, they've been trying to keep it pretty normal in the three months since they finally got that money.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I mean, three weeks, sorry. Yeah. And they have still been going to work. It's a tough one, isn't it? But you just do that for a while to cover your tracks, right? Yeah. It's like walking through a desert and just raking it behind you. Like, you just don't want anybody to know.
Starting point is 00:15:59 To know you're walking. Yeah. I just follow the line of sand that's been disturbed. Oh, you're going to follow the rake marks? Yeah. You're walking. Yeah, you know. I just follow the line of sand that's been disturbed. Oh, you're going to follow the rake marks? Yeah. You're clever. I got you. And then one day, you go to work, and the boss is like,
Starting point is 00:16:13 you're five minutes late. And you'd be like, is five minutes a problem for you? And the boss is like, you can't speak to me like that. I'll speak to whoever I want. Now get effed. And they're like, you're fired. I don't need your stupid job. And then boom, you're not working anymore.
Starting point is 00:16:28 I think I'd like to carry on going to work, but I'd get real arrogant. Because you've got nothing to lose, really. You've got nothing to lose. So you would actually be quite difficult to work with, wouldn't you? Yeah. You'd just be a real dick to your boss.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Some people have worked in this industry for a very long time that are difficult to work with and done quite well for themselves. So it might be the key. Yeah, yeah. I certainly wouldn't work breakfast hours. Well, yeah, that's the thing. The alarm goes off and you're like, not today. I believe your contract are too born.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Just keep yourself fired, as previously stated. Oh, yeah, right. Okay, yeah. Yeah. More of a casual. I'd turn previously stated. Oh, yeah, right. Okay, yeah. So they... More of a casual... I'd turn up for an hour around lunch, maybe. But then I'd have a lunch break and then go home. We know where they're from, but they want to remain anonymous.
Starting point is 00:17:15 But we also don't know what their jobs are. Again, it's good, though. It's good because you don't want to tell people when you win Lotto. No. People go all out there and then you get all the sob stories and people emailing you and messaging you. I think they're doing this right though because they are going to celebrate with their friends and family.
Starting point is 00:17:31 They said they're doing group holidays. So you give everyone a group holiday and then you're like, now shut up for the rest of our lives. Now leave us alone. This is what you get, nothing else. Yeah. No, because they shouldn't have said that because now on Facebook if anybody sees somebody going on a big group family holiday.
Starting point is 00:17:47 That's true. It's going to get out, though. It's a small town. It's a small region. Yeah. Can you imagine ever asking someone for money if they won Lotto? You found out someone you know won. No, I couldn't.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I've always thought that. Maybe I'm too proud to do it. I'm a bit too stubborn. But I could never. I can't think of a single person that would win Lotto. Oh, unless it was mum and dad. Are you talking asking a friend or a complete stranger? Oh, asking a complete stranger is completely off.
Starting point is 00:18:18 No way. I would never ever ask a complete stranger. You remember the girl that won Secret Sound, the very first one? Yeah, and then first one. Yeah. And then people started asking her complete strangers. People found her on Facebook. Yeah, and they were just asking her for like $1,000. It's madness.
Starting point is 00:18:31 But even someone you know, like mum and dad. No, see, I wouldn't straight up ask them. I'd just suddenly be really good friends with them. Oh, but that would be the worst. It'd be really obvious that you were doing that because. Yeah, you never come around to events the world. It'd be really obvious that you were doing that because... Yeah, you never, you never come around to events. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Like, you just sat home. That would be like me all of a sudden turning up to events that the person's at and be like, oh my God, are you here too?
Starting point is 00:18:52 What a coincidence. Be like, Vaughn, you never leave the house. I'd be like, what? Just sit down, talk and have a wine.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Only for my best friends like you. Oh, I reckon that's what your life would become. Let's get some drinks on you. The Top Six with Vaughn Smith.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Hello there. A dinosaur was dug up in 2013 in Wyoming, and everyone's like, oh, not another Allosaurus. I wanted a T-Rex. Oh, man. Is that like the archaeological equivalent of a Kinder Surprise you've already got? I imagine so. An Allosaurus.
Starting point is 00:19:24 An Allosaurus. But then a T-R surprise you've already got. I imagine an allosaurus. But then a T-Rex you've already got. I would imagine every archaeologist wants a new one, right? Yeah. So it was dug up in 2013. They thought it was an allosaur. They didn't name it any differently. But when they were putting it all together, they worked out it was a little bit different. It was 9 metres long.
Starting point is 00:19:42 It would have stood at about 2.6 metres tall. It had more teeth than its closest... I've got so many teeth I can't even talk properly. Its closest relatives, a bigger pelvis and longer shoulder blades. Okay. So they put it all together and they've decided to sell it and the person who buys it also gets to name it.
Starting point is 00:20:01 I mean, they'll have to sit down with it because they'll give it a name but then it'll have to have Icarus, Bicarus, Nicarus, Snicarus on the end or however you name the Latin names of it all. But they're estimating between 1.2 and 1.8 million euros. This will go for sale. This is a specialist at an auction house, Orgets, that said that. See, if I won Lotto
Starting point is 00:20:22 or I was a mega rich businessman you know, businessman or something, I'd have one of these in my lounge. Why? I'd have a foyer big enough in my mansion to house a dinosaur skeleton. That's Mavonosaurus. And people would be like, oh, I'd be like, yes, you're right. It's making up for my insignificant small penis. I mean, most people just get a Maserati.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Yeah, but I didn't want just to go down the standard track of owning multiple European sports cars. Yeah, I know. I wanted a dinosaur, so I got one. So the top six names for this new dinosaur, if the new owners don't have a name. Number six, the Alvisosaurus. Because remember I said it had a bigger pelvis.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Oh, yeah. The most dinosaurs, and Alvis's nickname was Alvis the Pelvis because he sure knew how to work that pelvis. So you could call him the Alvis-a-saurus. An Alvis-a-saurus. Along those lines, number five, due to the long shoulder blades, the Phelps-a-saurus. Because Michael Phelps.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Yeah, the swimmer. The swimmer has bigger old shoulder blades. He's long. I mean, he's long everywhere. Yeah. He's in all the right places for swimming. I mean, I can't speak for his Rudder Down stair, well yeah
Starting point is 00:21:29 Obviously not causing too much drag But that might be the togs But you know if the maths all adds up it's probably not too bad Number four On the list of The top six names for this new dinosaur Is the half bowling Linosaurus
Starting point is 00:21:44 Because remember I said it's nine metres long of the top six names for this new dinosaur is the half bowling lanosaurus. Okay. Because, remember I said it's nine metres long? Yeah. And most bowling alleys are just over 18 metres long. Oh, okay. So that would mean it's half a bowling lanosaurus. Okay. Mention if it was standing over your bowling lane
Starting point is 00:21:57 and you mentioned. That would be good. Until someone got drunk and hit the ball at its skull. Yeah, because everyone gives it up, don't they? Yeah. Another name that I came close to settling on, length related, would be two giraffes on each other's shoulders in a super long trench coat-asaurus.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Because at that length, it's about the length of two giraffes. Okay. So two giraffes on each other's shoulders, big trench coat. I'm imagining that now, and it's great. One big giraffe. Yeah, thank you. Number three on the list is a Sparrowasaurus. Now the reason being
Starting point is 00:22:29 this dinosaur was a theropod. So that's three clawed foot and hollow bones. And the most widespread theropod currently is the sparrow. Oh, wow. The sparrow ticks the same boxes that this 550 million year old dinosaur did.
Starting point is 00:22:48 And if you've ever looked a bird in the eye, because, you know, the story is that some dinosaurs evolved to birds and managed to survive them and wipe out. You look a bird in the eye, very dinosaur-y. Very dinosaur-y. Oh, okay. Especially turkeys and stuff. Look into your soul. Yeah. Just like when the T-Rex goes...
Starting point is 00:23:09 On Jurassic Park. Yeah, that's scary. Number two on the list. You might remember that the dinosaur had more teeth than its closest relative. Yep. So I would like to propose the Hilary Duff-asaurus. Don't be mean. Because Hilary Duff has more teeth than her closest relative, I'm sure of it.
Starting point is 00:23:26 A lot of teeth. Or you could call it the Lizzie McGuire-asaurus, if you want to personally feel attacked. I wouldn't have felt attacked if they'd named a dinosaur after me because of a prominent feature. I'd be honoured. You'd love it. I'd be honoured.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Because she's got lovely teeth. Yeah. Beautiful teeth. White, straight. They were veneers. She got smaller ones because the originals were everyone took the best out of.
Starting point is 00:23:47 And the number one name for the, today's top six, the top six names for the new dinosaur, Keith is number one. Keith. There's a reason for this.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Okay. Just because it would drive paleontologists insane. Yeah. Imagine an episode of Friends where Ross Geller comes back from a field trip and they discovered, they dug up a dinosaur
Starting point is 00:24:07 but he said, oh, it's one that, you know, it's just an allosaur, so we didn't name it. And then he gets a phone call halfway through Friends and they're like, oh, it turns out this isn't an allosaur, but we're going to take it to auction and that person gets to buy it and name it. Imagine some classic textbook frustrated
Starting point is 00:24:23 Ross Geller and then someone calls it Keith at the end of the episode, and he hears about it and just, has a Ross Geller meltdown. Yeah. I recently have watched three episodes of Friends. Yeah, right. They are still pretty good. I'm quick to scoff at how often they're replayed,
Starting point is 00:24:40 but they are still pretty, pretty, pretty good. That's why they replay them. That's why. That is today's Sub 6. In turn, Anya's 12 days. Oh, so when did you start? April, start of the 1st of April. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:54 You are 12 days clean of any beverage other than water and green tea. Mm-hmm. Why are you doing this? Because I normally would drink two coffees a day And one to two Coke Zeros This bloody kid I got real bad, I was drinking two coffees a day
Starting point is 00:25:14 No, but that plus two Coke Zeros is quite a lot You and Megan are known for sneaking into the work fridge daily We used to sneak, now I'm just like You just take it I think the people out by the fridges out there fridge daily for a Coke Zero. We used to sneak. Now I'm just like, you just take it. I think the people out by the fridges out there just believe that we've got some sort of special privilege to it because we just walk in, we'll grab three of those.
Starting point is 00:25:34 The trick is walk like you own it. Short of a high-vis vest, confidence is your best friend of getting something you're not entitled to. It is. So 12 days, clean. How do you feel? Good now. The day four and five, those days were really hard.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Headaches. Yeah, it really felt like I was coming off something real strong. Drugs. Yeah, pretty much. Well, caffeine's a drug. You're still getting caffeine in green tea, just probably not as much. Yeah. So yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:02 What a tea drink is all about. It doesn't spike. It's longer lasting. I don't know. Tea drinkers. Yeah. But you've got a problem this weekend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Qualms for days, guys. Let me tell you. It's the BF's Big 2-1. We're going to Hamilton to party in the barn. That's not a bar in Hamilton. That's literally they're going to a barn. To the barn. That's not a bar in Hamilton. That's literally they're going to a barn. To a barn party. He's a fun boy.
Starting point is 00:26:29 That sounds wild. It is going to be. Some of my favourite parties have been in barns. Okay, so the hay bales are just... Yeah, we're literally going to sit on hay bales and the plan is to drink some beverages, but... That would break your streak. Yeah, I don't want to be there.
Starting point is 00:26:42 But he only turns 21 once. Exactly. This is the qualm, guys. Do I drink green tea at a 21st? No. And water? No. No.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Okay. You can drink, I think a shortcut, a hack for this would be vodka sodas. Yeah. Because then you're drinking water with Russian water. I don't know your thoughts on limes, but you could squeeze some lime in there, have some lime. Technically just water.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Technically all just waters and the juice of a fruit. That's a good call. And you also run the risk of like if you get a wee taste of it, it's all over Red Rover, you know? But here's the thing. You wake up, there's a French press in your bed, you've drunk four litres of coffee. You've got to start again.
Starting point is 00:27:26 So you'll only have 13 days by tomorrow. And then you've got to start. Will you be able to start again on Monday? Well, I want to. Like, I really want to. This is probably the fourth time I've tried to, like, solidly give it up. But she just doesn't get that far. See, I'm just like.
Starting point is 00:27:42 You can streak, though, 13 days. Yeah, that's not bad. Why give it up streak though 13 days Yeah that's not bad Why give it up though? Like that's my thing I just I just kind of want to have teeth when I'm 25
Starting point is 00:27:50 It's kind of like where I feel at the moment But I thought Coke Zero was all good for teeth Is it the sugar or it's no good for the teeth? Well no the dentists don't like the bubbly water
Starting point is 00:28:00 They don't even like bubbly water They don't like anything apart from their boats and houses on the waterway Yeah Right But Megan you gave up hot chips They don't even like Lovely water They don't like anything Apart from their boats And houses on the waterways Yeah Right But Megan you gave up
Starting point is 00:28:08 Hot chips For the entirety of 2017 You shouldn't be like Why give it up You gave up hot chips Yeah but I've like I have tried to give up
Starting point is 00:28:16 Coke so many times How many times Have you tried to give up coke I don't know Six Six times And I just can't It's my only vice
Starting point is 00:28:23 I don't smoke I don't even really Drink that much You don't gamble Don't like chocolate And I just can't. It's my only vice. I don't smoke. I don't even really drink that much. You don't gamble. Don't like chocolate. Don't gamble. Heroin, but I meant it. I mean, aside from that, no.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Aside from that, yeah. It's my only thing. Six times. Yeah. But then I get to the point where I'm like, why am I doing this? You've got to have a vice, though, I think. And if it's a low-end vice, that's all right.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Like, you've got brain lesions from your artificial sweetness. Fletcher's got booty calls. Try as he might, he can't give them up. He cannot stop. Where am I going to turn this mic off? Making hair. It's gone. I found your mic
Starting point is 00:29:00 on the switch. Try as you might. Try as he might, he can't say no. Ding, ding, at 11 o'clock at night, he's like, okay, Liam. What are you talking about? That's like, let's get it on. Wait, no, he's saying he's never tried to give it up. He's happily addicted. It's not one bite.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Mine would be chocolate, though. Always trying to give that up. And at the moment, I've been pretty good. But chocolate, you don't need to give up. You just need to regulate. No, but I can't regulate. I cannot buy an entire block of chocolate and think, Pretty good. But chocolate, you don't need to give up. You just need to regulate. No, but I can't regulate. I can't.
Starting point is 00:29:28 I cannot buy an entire block of chocolate and think, you know, there's people that are like, I'll just have a row, and then tomorrow or the day after I have another row, I have to eat the whole thing. Right. So currently I'm pretty good with chocolate. I've been plain quite a while. You don't have it in your house.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Yeah. No, I've even got some in my house. Locked it up. Yeah, I've got caramilk. Yeah. Did you buy one of those timed lock boxes that I see on Facebook? That's good. That's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:29:50 We'd like to know what you can't give up, what you can't quit. What you can't say no to. Try as you might. Right, maybe it's Megan with her fizzy. It's Anya with her coffee and her Coke Zeros. I can't do it. It's me with chocolate. Do you have one born?
Starting point is 00:30:07 No, I don't know. Because you just do whatever you want. I'm like, well, this is bad for me. It's like having a whiskey at night. I'm like, oh, I probably shouldn't, but oh, God, who cares? I'll regret it if I don't. I'll be lying in bed being like, I should have had that drink. It's worse when you get out of bed to go back down
Starting point is 00:30:25 for a drink of whiskey because then you've got out of bed to have a drink. Whereas if you have a drink while you're still awake, no one's questioning it. But when you come back to bed
Starting point is 00:30:33 and my wife's like, did you have a drink of whiskey down there? It's weirder and it becomes an issue. But you have it earlier in the piece. No one bats an eyelid.
Starting point is 00:30:41 No, yeah. All right, so what is your advice? How many times have you tried to give it up and failed? Because smoke isn't notorious for this. Maybe are we wanting things that are a bit more like food? Something that's not like definitely going to kill you.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Your usual. Yeah, but then biscuits can kill you, Megan. Longer game I feel. It's a longer play. And really enjoyable slow death biscuits. Alright, 0800Diles.m, you can text I feel. It's a longer play. All right, and really enjoyable slow death biscuits. All right, 0800 dials at M, you can text 9696.
Starting point is 00:31:09 What do you always try to quit but can't? We're talking about why you can't quit, why you've tried to give up maybe multiple times but you just can't say no to. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:31:16 intern Anya, newsreader, day 13 and then she's tried to quit only drinking, what she's doing,
Starting point is 00:31:23 only green tea and water but she's got to drink this weekend so she's got to quit only drinking what she's doing, only green tea and water, but she's got to drink this weekend, so she's got to restart the counter. Can she not pause the counter just one day off the counter? No, it doesn't work. There are no cheat days. Some text messages in,
Starting point is 00:31:36 somebody else trying to get off the caffeine, but the coffee, they've specifically tried to quit coffee a few times. The first time, their flatmate literally got a job at Nespresso two days after this. And another time. Free pods. Another time they tried to quit,
Starting point is 00:31:51 this was after the Nespresso flatmate had settled into their job. The flatmate brought home the new type of Nespresso and all the new capsules to try as well. So they're just like, it's just. You can't. It's almost like if I feel like I should invest in Nespresso and then announce I'm going to be off the coffee.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah. Because they're going to bring out something new and their share price might go up. So that's a solid option. So I want to know from you what you always try to quit but just can't. Jennifer, good morning. Morning, guys. All right, so what is the vice here?
Starting point is 00:32:23 Oh, so many good chips every time. Oh, yeah. Oh, so what is the vice here? So I'm going to get chips. Every time. And the best ones are when they're like, your mouth is like burning. I'm with you on that one. And your tongue and the roof of your mouth are like, please stop.
Starting point is 00:32:40 And you're like, no, you do your job. So how often are you eating these? Like every day pretty much. It's so bad. And then I'm like, when, you do your job. So how often are you eating these? Oh, like every day, pretty much. It's so bad. And then I'm like, when I go to the supermarket, I'm not buying it. And then my partner or my daughter will be like, oh, let's get some chips. I'm like, guys, stop selling.
Starting point is 00:32:56 But what if they got like a yak flavor, like chicken chips? Because then you'd be like, sweet, there's nothing appealing. I try to encourage that, yeah. Right. How many times do you think you've tried to quit them? I couldn't even tell you. Just too many times. And what would be the longest day that you've gone?
Starting point is 00:33:12 The longest amount of time? Well, I did decide this one time. I was like, right, that's it. I'm stopping. And I had, like, willpower for, I think it was, like, three days or something. I was so proud of myself. I rewarded myself with some chips. Oh, you were like,
Starting point is 00:33:26 you've done so good. Three chips. Three chips. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brilliant. All right, Gina, thanks for your call. Maddie, what do you always
Starting point is 00:33:34 try to quit but just can't? I always try to give up airways chewing gum. Oh, that's the stuff that's got the intense flavour and it was like... Oh, yeah, and it cleans your airways, right?
Starting point is 00:33:44 Yeah. I used to be really full on with chewing gum, like every time I got into my car, but I've stopped now. You took a couple of bits of chatty in. Yeah, for years. So have you tried to quit it? Yeah, I have, and I'll just be like, oh, no, I won't buy it. And then somehow it will just, like, turn up in my car or in my room.
Starting point is 00:34:05 The remnants of your past addiction. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just like, what's this down there? Oh my God, it's a fresh pack. Yeah, is chewing gum like cigarettes though? They think it's, and please, mine's out of the gutter, but is it an oral fixation? Is it doing something with your mouth?
Starting point is 00:34:19 Like, because they think a big thing about cigarettes is just like chewing pens or having something in your hands and in your mouth. Yeah. I think it is like, not like boredom, but just like chewing pens or having something in your hands and in your mouth. Yeah. I think it is like, not like boredom, but just, yeah, like doing something. Right. Okay. All right, Maddie, thanks for your call.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Somebody else said, I managed to quit smoking two years ago after trying many, many times. So that's to be congratulated. Well done. However, now I'm hooked on Eclipse mints. I did a recent tally in my car And I had 12 packs in the car My bag rattles like a pill poppers bag would A pack a day
Starting point is 00:34:50 I can get tummy aches from eating too many of them But my reasoning is I'm scared that if I cut them out I'm going to have the craving for smokes again Be better to be hooked on those than ciggies though It's giving you a sore stomach You've got to wonder though, doesn't it? Somebody else said
Starting point is 00:35:04 And I know a few people, bread. Bread is their ultimate. Oh, really? Because I don't even, I could go, oh, maybe garlic bread. Garlic bread is the king of all breads. Fruit bread. Fruit bread is also the king. And I am so glad they stopped making that scone toast because that shit was crack.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I don't know. I haven't seen it for ages. Scon toast. Maybe this is not. I know we're going into winter. It might be like the season for a thicker bit of toast. Oh, right. If you never had scon toast, it was basically toast made of scones.
Starting point is 00:35:33 It was insane. Yeah. It was like, I got fiendish for it. Right. Fiendish. Yeah. Somebody said, yeah, bread. And I don't mean to be, but in my life, it's females I know have a real trouble stepping away from bread. And carbs. Yeah. Somebody said, yeah, bread. And I don't mean to be, but in my life,
Starting point is 00:35:47 it's females I know have a real trouble stepping away from bread. And carbs. Yeah, my mum and my wife and my mother-in-law and my sister and everybody is just like their big thing, they crave bread. And cheese. Oh, I see. I can't say no to it. I can't say no to stinky blue.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Cheese on bread. Oh, yeah. A big spanky blue. I never used to be into blue cheese, but now every time I see blue cheese, I've got a little mouse craving over here. I want me some of that stanky blue. Last night we found some in the fridge at the back, and I was like, this is stanky as stank, and we cut the outside off.
Starting point is 00:36:20 I was like, we got ourselves a pristine cheese of Santa and we got into it. A couple of crack fiends finding, oh man, it was such stanky blue cheese. Many chocolate texts. Quite a few chocolates. Yeah, but I mean, we've heard from more people about Diet Coke than anything else. Diet Coke is their number one addiction that they'd love to be able to say no to, but they just can't. But why? Just say yes.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Don't give it up. Don't fight it But why? Just say yes. Don't give it up. Don't fight it. Don't fight the moonlight. FEM. Now, yesterday was day two of federal despositos with Facebook creator, I say in speech marks
Starting point is 00:37:00 because I believe Spiderman Andrew Garfield actually made it, but that's by the way. I know, all I could think about was that movie, The Social Network. Where Eduardo is now sitting back watching going, phew. Yeah. Oh, God, that looks intense. Mark Zuckerberg facing more questions about Facebook's data mining,
Starting point is 00:37:20 I guess you'd call it. Yeah, and the sale of our personal information. And those old people that know nothing about the internet. Although yesterday there were slightly less older people and they seemed a bit more onto it. I think because the internet had ridiculed them so horrendously that they put some fresher faces on there and asked some more pointed questions.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Oh my God, the memes that came out that have been coming out the last couple of days are amazing. My favourite is the face of Zuckerberg during it and then some guy tweeted saying the face you make when you just wanted to make a quicker way of rating girls' hotness but you ended up putting a dictatorship into power in the world's most powerful country. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:57 On point. They asked a question yesterday though. We've all been asking this. We have wanted to know this. See if you believe Mark Zuckerberg's reply to this question. So I've heard constituents fear that Facebook is mining audio
Starting point is 00:38:11 from their mobile devices for the purpose of ad targeting. Yes or no, does Facebook use audio obtained from mobile devices to enrich personal information about its users? No. I mean, so you're talking about this conspiracy theory that gets passed around that we listen to what's going on
Starting point is 00:38:31 on your microphone and use that for ads. Right. We don't do that. Are you buying it? Are you buying that? He went on to say, because you know how it says Facebook would like to access your microphone? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:44 If you film a video in Facebook or do Facebook Live, says Facebook would like to access your microphone. If you film a video in Facebook or do Facebook Live, that is giving Facebook access to your microphone. That's not uploading a video previously filmed. That's filming a video in the Facebook app. You would give them access to your microphone. And he said, so there is access to your microphone required for those
Starting point is 00:38:59 videos. Full stop. Full stop. He didn't say whether it mines audio from those videos right and I didn't believe him but there I don't yeah because there are people have done videos and uh there's quite a bit behind this theory online where people have tested it and had conversations and we'll even have conversations and then ads will pop up and you're like, how has that happened? Yeah, and those conversations aren't, we're not recording them with Facebook. No.
Starting point is 00:39:30 It's just a conversation where your phone's there. I had someone tell me about boys, a boys soundbar. That was a story that somebody. Bows. I was at Bows. B-O-E-C. Bows. I'm surprised I got the ad because we were saying it wrong.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Boys. There's no I. Yes, there is. No, there's not. B-O-I-E-C Well I'm surprised I got the ad Because we were saying it wrong Boys There's no I Yes there is No there's not B-O-I-E-C Boys No it's B-O-E-C Is it?
Starting point is 00:39:51 It said bows I don't know if there is an I It said bows I'm probably No I'm probably wrong You know me and high end stuff There's no I There's no I
Starting point is 00:39:58 You know me and things That cost money I don't know how to say Fashion houses It's a city in Idaho Oh boys Idaho Yeah So Someone told me about A sound bar from them And then you told me I don't know how to say fashion houses. It's a city in Idaho. Oh, boys, Idaho. Yeah. So someone told me about a soundbar from them,
Starting point is 00:40:08 and then you told me about headphones that you had. Yeah. That were that brand. Bose, yeah. I've never typed in any way. I've never Googled to see what they look like or anything, and I started getting ads the very next day. We've talked about this.
Starting point is 00:40:19 We even did a topic on it, and people were phoning in saying there's no way it had any idea other than the fact it could have heard us talk about it. Yeah. So I don't buy that. Whether or not
Starting point is 00:40:31 it's Google listening in and they need to answer the question and then Facebook are using I don't know but yeah. That's dodgy though
Starting point is 00:40:38 for him to be asked straight up and point blank say no. Because if it does come out. Yeah that's what a lot of people
Starting point is 00:40:44 are saying that down the road he may have a lot to answer for if he's... He'll go to jail. Because he lied to a congress. Yeah, he lied during a federal desposito. Do you know one of the most craziest things was shadow profiles? Did you hear about
Starting point is 00:40:59 this? No. So the idea is that they have a shadow profile for every facebook profile so behind your profile is like a whole lot of data that they use to like sync you up with other friends work out like algorithms stuff like that and they even have apparently shadow profiles people that don't have facebook profiles so if somebody doesn't have facebook but they're in a photo and they use the face recognition and they'll be like this person doesn't have Facebook But they're in a photo And they use the face recognition And they'll be like
Starting point is 00:41:25 This person doesn't have A Facebook profile They create a profile Or your friends have a number For someone that It's not associated to a profile They might try and invite them It's pretty full on
Starting point is 00:41:36 Like yeah So apparently the only way That you can get rid of that Stuff is to log on Make a profile And then delete your profile Have you done... I've seen multiple people going in and saying,
Starting point is 00:41:48 I don't know how to do it. It's pretty easy to Google and find out, but you can find out what information they do have about you and what apps and what... Yeah, you've got it. You can download a copy of your profile. Apparently, it's like a multi-gig file. And then, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:01 What, do you just scroll through? Yeah, it just downloads everything into like a files and you can go through everything they have on you. It's like yeah you can make it really private and yeah you can download all your information and you can read all this stuff but like CBF. Yeah that's true. And to be honest sometimes Facebook
Starting point is 00:42:19 ads are kind of helpful. You're thinking about something and then it shows you the exact thing and you're like, thanks, Facebook. Okay, we'll just go along with it for now then. Off the top of your head, what can you remember about where you sit in your siblings? Like it's always the oldest is the
Starting point is 00:42:36 brainiest. Yep, the favourite with mum. The youngest is the favourite. No, the youngest is always the favourite. Statistically, the youngest is the favourite. What is it? The youngest is the favourite. No, the youngest is always the favourite. Not in my family. Statistically, the youngest is the favourite. No. What is it? You're more likely to be gay the more older brothers you have?
Starting point is 00:42:52 Yeah, that's... Was that a thing? That was a thing. Statistically, I don't know if that's an anomaly or what, but that's a thing. The middle children are the attention seekers and the rowdy ones. Oh, that's... Without a doubt, that's a thing.
Starting point is 00:43:03 That's born. That's great. Right. At least we're finally getting something. There's bad news for older, you said. Bad news for the eldest. You are the worst drivers. The eldest child in a family is most likely to speed,
Starting point is 00:43:17 get fines for motoring offences, and have traffic collisions. The youngest tend to be the safest driver. I have had one, two fines. No crashes. You also don't have a car. So you're driving a lot less. When you do drive,
Starting point is 00:43:34 when all three of us are there, I don't know why we get born to drive. I should be driving. But we all unanimously say... The patriarchy sister. I say we take it down. We all unanimously say no to Fletch. Only because at one time the brake was really sticky. It was really sticky.
Starting point is 00:43:51 And this is how he changed lanes. He goes, flicks on an indicator. One, two, three, pull. And he just jerks it. He doesn't like gradually go across. It's like he's trying to change lanes without hitting the cat eyes. And a handbrake is a sometimes thing for Fletch. Oh my god. I left a
Starting point is 00:44:08 handbrake off once and a car went into our house. You do it once and you get tarnished for life. Technically that wasn't my car and my insurance so I'm clean. Were you in control of parking it? Well at the time I wasn't with the car. But these are the stats that the oldest siblings are worst at.
Starting point is 00:44:24 These are stats where the numbers I'll tell you are the stats that the oldest siblings are worst at. These are stats where the numbers I'll tell you are the worst amongst the siblings. 89% of the oldest siblings are likely to speed. 47% are cut off people. 46% drive too
Starting point is 00:44:39 close to the centre line. 35% have been fined for their actions. 17% admitted to applying make-up while driving. And 30% will use their phone at the wheel, which is higher than any of their younger siblings. Just me for all of those. Because I'll do my lipstick on the motorway, won't I? And use your phone to take a selfie
Starting point is 00:44:58 to make sure it looks cute from all angles. Yeah, no smudges. And on my teeth. No smudges. Get them off your teeth. I've had like one speeding ticket and I've never had an accident. What about your brother?
Starting point is 00:45:06 Your older brother. Oh, like multiple speeding tickets, not wearing a seatbelt, crashes. Like he thinks he's a better driver, but I'm clearly the best. In this particular criteria. Yeah, yeah. Well, and the fact that I haven't had an accident. But you're not executor of your parents' will, are you? No, neither of them are.
Starting point is 00:45:27 No, that's the lawyer. A perfect stranger's been given that horrendously personal responsibility. Fish, fool, and me. Swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe. Oh, one of my favourite segments of the show. And let's end the week with somebody's dating disaster. Swipe me as we look at your dating disasters on apps like Tinder. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Bumble, Happn, Grindr. I guess, you know, if we'd been doing this segment in the 1980s, it would probably be called Classifieds. I put a lovely ad in the paper and a complete creep replied to it. Classifieds. Now, joining us this morning, Selah, good morning. Good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Now, you've had a swipe, Mia. Tell us about it. Oh, my gosh. Yes. So, quickly chatting with this guy here and there for a couple of weeks and then said, oh, let's have a drink in Takapuna on a Saturday afternoon. And he just ticked all the boxes. Awesome. Very cool day. Everything going well. And then suddenly this beautiful woman with two young children shows up and the kids are like, daddy, daddy.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Oh, okay. Awesome. Yeah. And I said, okay, I knew he had kids, but then, um, the lady comes in for a pack and I'm like, Oh,
Starting point is 00:46:51 right. Like a kiss on the cheek or the lips? No, on the lips. With him or with you? With him. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:00 Okay. And what does he say at that point? No, he was just like pretending nothing was happening, nothing was wrong. And I was just like, okay, act normal, act normal. You obviously missed something. And then she was stunning, gorgeous, perfection. And then they all said, okay, I'll leave you guys to it.
Starting point is 00:47:21 And then they walked away and then they left. And I was like, did you miss something? I'll leave you guys to it. And then they walked away and then they left. And I was like, did you miss something? Do you have something to tell me? I said, oh, yeah, sorry. That's my wife. I told her that I was having a meeting just to catch up with a work colleague from overseas. It was over. And I was like.
Starting point is 00:47:44 So they are still together? Yeah. They're not split up or anything? They live 200 metres away from the bar we were at. Oh, this guy is playing fast and loose. And shitting where he eats. I could not believe it. And the unfortunate thing is I didn't even say anything.
Starting point is 00:48:02 I said seriously, like, goodbye. I just left. Wow. The problem is I live in Davenport anything. I said seriously, like, goodbye. I just left. Wow. The problem is I live in Davenport, and I bump into them every so often. And she says, hello. So was this on Tinder? That was on Bumble. Bumble.
Starting point is 00:48:17 And so was he chatting to you for friendship, or did he want something? What did he say he wanted? No, no, date. He said he was looking for someone to share a life with pretty much. You've got one? You've got one already? Well, exactly. I think he wanted someone to share a second life with.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Oh, no, no, no. After she left, was he like, so should we carry on with the date or you just left? Do you know that emoji face where you show all your teeth? Yeah. That's the face he made. And I was like, yeah, nah. Wow. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:48:55 What are you supposed to do, though? Because it's a happy family. Like, you don't want to mess that up. Exactly. I said, like, you know what? I'm out of this situation. It's not my problem. I'm just out. Wow. Wow. I said, like, you know what? I'm out of this situation. It's not my problem. I'm just out.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Wow. It's awful. Wow. But bold, right? Yeah. Bold. I know, bold. Do you know, I accidentally bumped on my phone that thing that takes audio and puts it into
Starting point is 00:49:18 text about 30 seconds ago, and all it says is, no, no, wow, wow, no, what? So from now on, the first question I ask that you're not married, right? Yeah, are you single? Which you would expect people if they're on Bumble, Tinder, Happen, any of these apps, you would expect them to be single. Oh, absolutely. Especially when you said, let's meet at Takapuna. I live just nearby.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Yeah, it's gone a day 200 metres from my house and my wife. Also, any woman listening in the car now that... Oh, yeah. Anyway. Yeah, I know what you're saying. We weren't the ones on the app, were we? No. Selah, we're going to hook you up with a Swipe Me As Prize pack.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Thank you so much for sharing. Have a great weekend. That's awesome. Thanks, guys. Friday Flashback. And it's Megan's pick this Friday. I came in this morning and I was like,
Starting point is 00:50:08 this song, I asked the producers, they said yes, and so we've gone with it. There's no indecision today. 2007. It's a reggae-influenced song. Now, it did go number one
Starting point is 00:50:18 in heaps of countries. New Zealand, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Ireland. It was massive. Spain, the UK, the US, all around the world. Number one. Wow, okay. Absolute banger.
Starting point is 00:50:29 And you said we nearly lost him. We nearly lost this guy in 2011. If I tell you how, it's going to completely give it away. It was a... Was it in Farmers? And he was with his mum, but then he stopped to look at the Sega systems and then his mum kept walking.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Oh my God. I got lost in Farmer's Island, so I thought that was it. I thought I was going to die. And then you hear... She goes over by the couches. Bing bong. If there's a Vaughan Smith in store, your mother's looking for you. If you could just make yourself known to staff,
Starting point is 00:50:58 that would be much appreciated. If she's about to give you a hiding, too. Once you hear your name over that PA system once, you get a real taste for it. That's why I won't board an aeroplane until they say my name. When I say lost, though, he almost died in a jet skiing accident. Oh, Shauna Kingston. Today's Friday flashback, Beautiful Girls.
Starting point is 00:51:19 All right, set in. Your way to beautiful girls. Yes, yes. That's way too beautiful, girl. Yes, yes, yes. That's why it'll never work. You have me suicidal, suicidal. When you say it's over, damn all these beautiful girls. They only want to do your dirt. They'll have you suicidal, suicidal
Starting point is 00:51:47 When they say it's over Now we're fussing and now we're fighting Please tell me why I'm feeling slighted And I don't know how to make it better Make it better You're dating other guys, you're telling me lies Oh, I can't believe what I'm seeing with my eyes I'm losing my mind, and I don't think it's clever
Starting point is 00:52:16 Think it's clever You're way too beautiful, girl That's why it'll never work You'll have me suicidal Suicidal When you say it's over Damn all these beautiful girls They only wanna do the dirt
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yeah, you'll have me suicidal Suicidal Sean Kingston, beautiful girl. Yeah, I feel suicidal Suicidal Suicidal Sean Kingston, beautiful girl. That's a mean trick. Yeah, turning the mics on while Megan's still singing. Never gets old. Your Friday flashback today, Sean Kingston from 2000 and...
Starting point is 00:52:58 Seven. Number one song in New Zealand as well for a while. All around the world, yes. Rubbish. Oh, is that the feedback? Is that feedback not good? Nope. Oh, dear.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Someone said, what a tune. Somebody else said, absolute gem. Yep. Somebody says, one does neither hate nor love this song, Megan. I do, however, think you've had better. One hopes this isn't the beginning of the end. Side note, new hair looks great. That was a very balanced comment.
Starting point is 00:53:24 It was a sandwiched critique with the negative of the end. Side note, new hair looks great. That was a very balanced comment. And I did like the compliment at the end. It was a sandwiched critique with the negative in the middle. Yeah. This may be the worst of all year, maybe ever. Sorry, Megan. I was looking forward to Friday flashback as work's going to be a real punish today, Megan. No need to worry about that because Friday Jam's coming up at nine. And this morning during Friday Jam's kicking off at ten the A to Z
Starting point is 00:53:45 of Friday Jams where we have an artist we start with A and then we go right the way through to Z. That's how it works. No more explanations. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:53:53 We're not explaining the alphabet. Will there be one for J? We might have done songs that start with A. Just shut up, all right? I'm explaining it so everyone knows.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Okay. Christ. I'm just trying to do my job here. As you have no doubt heard. Just be better at it. That would be my career advice for you. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:54:12 I've made it this far being pretty average. I've made a wonderful career out of mediocrity. I shan't be having anybody tell me to be better. I'm not going to try harder. As you have no doubt would have heard, Khloe Kardashian has had a baby overnight. Baby girl. Yes.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Now, the big, I think the shocking thing for everybody here is that just a couple of days ago, the stories and photos came out. Of Tristan Thompson cheating on her. With one or two women? Two women in the club. Two women in the club in October. And then there's also pictures of him only like last weekend
Starting point is 00:54:45 taking a woman to his hotel room that was a video too I saw the video like there's no denying that and he did a dodgy look around outside he was like little scan for the paparazzi missing obviously the camera
Starting point is 00:54:58 so he could be a repeat defender the king of dodgy look arounds the king of dodgy look arounds sure can't identify another dodgy look around it was a dodgy look around if ever I The king of dodgy look-arounds. Sure can't identify another dodgy look-around. It was a dodgy look-around if ever I've seen one. And I mean, like, anyone would be devastated. We heard reports that she was devastated. It's an awful situation given that she was about to give birth.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Now, overnight she did give birth, and the story is that she allowed him into the room. So she said, you know, despite whatever's happening, this is a big moment for someone's life, a birth of a child, and I don't want to deny him that, despite whatever he's done to me. Wow. So he was allowed in there. Screw that.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Is she kind of known for being pretty level? Yeah. Well, they all kind of, like, look at the greater picture, and they all manage to be pretty level-headed. But then they have massive fights between themselves over the most ridiculous things for the show though
Starting point is 00:55:48 really but then Lamar Odom wasn't very good to her either and she like nursed him back to health and everything so say what you want
Starting point is 00:55:55 about the Kardashians they seem to have pretty level heads what a time to find out someone's cheating on you like you're literally going into labour
Starting point is 00:56:02 and then you get the news no I think it was the other way around. I think she went into labour. The stress of it was the labour. So she was about a week away from due date. Yeah. Wow. That's heartbreaking.
Starting point is 00:56:14 The worst time to find out that your partner's cheating on you. Would there be a worse time? On the morning of your wedding? Your wedding day. Oh, nobody's going that far, are they? It'd be a hard pill to swallow, but, I mean, you're going to get one of life's greatest joys out of that. You know, you're still going to get a kid at the end of the day.
Starting point is 00:56:33 You could, like, use that as a wee buffer, you know? Like, be like, oh, yeah, whoopsies, but look what we've got. Yay, you know? Yeah. Or look what I've got. You're not getting it. Because the endorphins or, I don't know? Or look what I've got. You're not getting it. Is he endorphins or I don't know. It might work in his favour.
Starting point is 00:56:48 I think finding out someone was cheating on a wedding day would be worse. Worse than just before you're about to give birth. No. I disagree. Because you're so far down the line once you've given birth to this guy's child. And then half of it's his and you're like, God damn it.
Starting point is 00:57:04 No, because I've had friends that have had kids with people and broken up pretty soon after. A friend. And then half of it's his and you're like, God damn it. No, because I've had friends that have had kids with people and broken up pretty soon after, a friend, and I said, is that hard? Yeah. That this is the constant reminder
Starting point is 00:57:13 of this person that treated you poorly and they said, no, I don't look at it like that at all. Right. I look at it as this is my treasure
Starting point is 00:57:20 to take with me forward. You can't look at your child begrudgingly for something that someone who simply donated some DNA did and you did your best to raise that child to be a better person than the DNA donated. What about on your birthday, finding out someone's cheated on you?
Starting point is 00:57:33 Oh, that'd be pretty bad. Because it's your day, it's all about you and then all of a sudden you get the news you've been cheated on. Yeah. Would that be not as bad as when you're pregnant or before your wedding day, but it'd be up there. Yeah, you'd be reminded of everybody's birthday.
Starting point is 00:57:45 I think we should take some calls on this. It's just asking for it. Well, like the worst time you found out someone cheated on you. Yeah, you personally. You personally. I don't think you have to measure up to the birthing suite. No.
Starting point is 00:57:57 For location. Maybe there was a big moment at work or a big moment in your life or something was going on and then you found out at the worst possible moment, maybe before a hair appointment, I don't know. That could make you make some rash decisions about it. You could have it all
Starting point is 00:58:11 sorted but then you find out. Or maybe you're in the middle of something, like a hair appointment or a cake. A difficult cake to make. And then very specific there for the cake makers who have been cheating on listening to the show. Overnight, Khloe Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl and
Starting point is 00:58:28 Tristan Thompson, her cheating baby daddy, was allowed in the room when the baby was born. And it's fresh too. It's just these rumours that just a day or two old and she's obviously like, look, put that aside. Come and witness this. The drama is not going to overshadow the birth of
Starting point is 00:58:44 this amazing miracle. Would there have been other Kardashians in the room? That would have been very icy. That whole thing would have been awkward. You imagine Kris Jenner. Mama Jenner don't muck around. She would have been in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:59 So we are talking about the worst time you found out someone was cheating on you. So she was originally a week out from giving birth. It sounds like the whole pressure of everything made her go into labour early. Yeah. So the worst time you found out someone was cheating on you. Tennessee. What was the worst time you found out someone was cheating on you?
Starting point is 00:59:19 Tennessee. Oh, hi, morning. Hi, morning. You thought it was the other Tennessee, but it wasn't. Just you. I found out that my boyfriend of one year cheated on me just before my very last school ball. Oh, no. So you were obviously going with him.
Starting point is 00:59:39 You had everything ready. Yeah. So we bought the perfect matching tie to the dress. He hadn't seen the dress. And when you've been the dress and you know when you're being with someone for a year when you're 17, that's a pretty big deal. Yeah, you're going to get married. It's a huge percentage of your life. Yeah. And it was just like
Starting point is 00:59:55 it was so devastating but I was just too angry so I was just like to him, give me that tie back. You're not wearing the tie. I'm going to go by myself and like stuff you pretty much. But it was pretty devastating because everyone was like, what's going on? Because it was that weekend.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Oh no. Where's your boyfriend? What's happened? Then you've got to explain it, don't you? To everybody. Yeah, I did. So many people were asking and they were like, oh, we would have voted for you guys for Queen and Queen. And I was like, really? Oh, I measured if they had.
Starting point is 01:00:27 Did you ever consider just going with him just so it didn't ruin the night? And like, I don't know, if you were king and queen, but it was with him, would it have been better or no? No, because I probably would have been very, what's the word, like, colorful towards him. Yeah, I would have had a raspberry cruiser that I'd snuck in in my pants and I would have just lost the plot. Bottled it.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Yeah. Bottled them or poured it over him because those stains will never come out from a raspberry cruiser. I'm not wasting a raspberry cruiser on him. Well, get the taste in your mouth and spit it on him. Drink it and then waste it entirely. Ash, the worst possible time you found out
Starting point is 01:01:03 someone was cheating on you. Hi, guys. Yeah, my found out someone was cheating on you? Hi, guys. Yeah, so my girlfriend of three years cheated on me with my best friend on my birthday night. Oh, no. So you were having a party, a get-together, and that's when you find out. Yeah, so I was out with the mates, and she was home sick with the lady thing, and she didn't come out. So after a long night I called her and I heard him in the background.
Starting point is 01:01:29 So that was a big excuse. And so what happened then? Did you go home and find them together? Yes. That sucks because you lose two for one. Like your bestie and your partner. Pretty much. I went home and I saw him coming down
Starting point is 01:01:43 saw her coming down putting an apron on and saw him coming down with his shirt on. Apron? She's straight out of the barbecue. What, were they in the middle of baking something? Yeah, or some bacon in a pan that spits, so you're going to wear an apron. All right, thanks, Ash.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Samantha, the worst possible time you found out that someone was cheating on you? Hey, guys, so kind of like the Khloe Kardashian story. No. You were pregnant? Yeah. I was 38 weeks pregnant with our second child. And a lovely girl sent me a message request on Facebook
Starting point is 01:02:19 with a photo of her in bed with my husband. What? Why would she do that? I have never understood why people do that. But wait, was she skiding or was she like, you need to know this is happening because she'd just found out about you as well? Or what was this?
Starting point is 01:02:34 No, she knew about me the whole time apparently. Oh, no. No, that's messed up. Yeah. So are they together now? No, no. She lives in a different country. I'm not with him anymore. messed up. Yeah. So are they together now? No. No, she lives in a different country.
Starting point is 01:02:46 I'm not with him anymore. And I still allowed him to be in the theatre because I had a C-section. I would not. I don't think I could. Tell me why because obviously
Starting point is 01:03:00 we can't ask Khloe Kardashian because you have to pay like thousands of dollars for an interview. But why? It's a pretty emotional time and like everything's running so high. So even though he hurt me so much, I kind of needed that support at the same time.
Starting point is 01:03:14 And I kind of felt like I could never give that chance back to him to see his child for the first time. Once you'd forgiven him. And he was chanting on you for like, how long? A year? No, from what I knew, like a couple of weeks. Right. Don't make a regretter decision.
Starting point is 01:03:33 You should have been. No, he's level-headed. I've been in a caesarean and it's all pretty all go. You could have put your hand under the curtain and been like, scalpel, and they would have put one in your hand and then stabbed him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:44 And they'd be like, sorry, you know what it's like, hormones and stuff. And everyone would have been like, totallypel, and they would have put one in your hand and then stabbed him. Yeah. And they'd be like, sorry, you know what it's like, hormones and stuff. And everyone would have been like, totally forgivable. Yeah, right. He's dead now, but we can make it look like an accident. Okay, and then after that happened, were you like, now get out? Yeah, I was for a couple of months.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Right. And then I just kind of took the courage, took the children and left. Wow, because, I mean, a lot of people wouldn't have that courage, would they? It would be quite hard. It would be a very hard thing to do. Very, very hard.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Wow, Samantha, thanks for sharing. No worries. All right, have a great weekend. Text messages in and wow, some bad times. People have been caught cheating. Literally found out my partner was cheating on me on the day we moved in together. Oh. Oh!
Starting point is 01:04:22 For the house we had bought together. Oh, no. I was thinking 12 months lease I could just take one of the other rooms. Yeah, no. It's a mortgage.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Yeah, no. No, no, no. Found out the day after our engagement party that had been cheating on me during the entire pregnancy
Starting point is 01:04:38 that I had had with his child which was just before the engagement party. I was about to say at least you can like you didn't have to go through a divorce, but then you've got a child together.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Yeah. It's like harder, I think, than if you were, like, yeah, if you had a kid together, that's going to be harder because this person's got a, you know, a legal entitlement to see their child should they want to. Somebody said, I was seven and a half months pregnant and I walked in on my partner with somebody else in bed. Not only a woman, but an absolute
Starting point is 01:05:07 goddess. Swedish blonde, amazing looking, tall, skinny, slim, beautiful woman. Is that better or worse? She sounds like she wants to join in. But when you're seven and a half months pregnant, it sure made me feel like a fat frump. Yeah, you're not feeling sexy, are you? No.
Starting point is 01:05:23 You're growing a human. Yeah, you're doing a sexy, are you? No. You're growing a human. Yeah, you're doing a great thing. Some other messages in. My ex cheated on me about four months into my seven-month deployment in the army. So I couldn't even deal with it because I was ages away and I couldn't go home. How far do those bullets go? Fiangle it, right?
Starting point is 01:05:42 Or you get one of Donald Trump's missiles that he's always talking about until you're able to get them. Somebody said, we were just about to move to England. Two days before we moved to England together, I found out he'd been cheating on me. But at least it was before. You know? That's the thing.
Starting point is 01:05:55 I know people that have moved countries and then found out they'd been cheating. Yeah. Like, it's just like, why did you bother moving with them? Just say you didn't want to go. Yeah. But what about, you've paid for all the tickets and stuff. You've done it. Two days out, you've done all the admin.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Yeah. You don't want to have to undo admin. Ah, yeah, lots of messages of people finding out. Dirty dogs. Oh, somebody said they found out their partner was cheating on them yesterday about three hours after the Kardashian news broke and everybody else didn't really care about them. It was all about Kardashian cheating.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. But it marries in quite nicely. Okay. You're more likely to cheat on your partner during periods of extreme dieting. Oh, I thought that was it. During periods. During extreme periods.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Get me another man, my partner Shantu. And get me some goddamn chocolate. During periods of extreme dieting. Or just dieting that you're not used to. Now, this is a psycho, a psychologist has done this study. Yeah. And apparently,
Starting point is 01:07:13 willpower, the ability to say no to things, Yeah. is Are you going to say like it's transferable? No, no, it's not transferable. Depleted.
Starting point is 01:07:23 Yeah. It's like your ability to work out cardio, it's not transferable. Depleted. Yeah. It's like your ability to work out cardio, like, cardiovascular exercise. Right. I'll use a comparison to cycling.
Starting point is 01:07:32 Yep. You can only cycle so much. Yep. You know, so if you're using all your cycling power to diet and say no
Starting point is 01:07:41 to the foods you love, you can't say no to everything because you exhaust your willpower. It's an exhaustible resource. So you transfer all your willpower to dieting. Yeah. And then you've got none left. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:53 And it's not just to cheating, but it's to other things as well. Like, I don't know, if booze isn't in your diet, if you're not concentrating on that, it's more the food intake, you might be less likely to be able to say no to booze. Because your willpower can be exhausted. Yes, you can. Can you train your willpower? Correct. Okay, wow.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Yeah, apparently stubborn people already have an unfair advantage of willpower. So we'd probably all be pretty good at that. Also, if you grew up getting whatever you wanted and never having to... Only children. Yeah. Or spoiled brats. You never had to exert any willpower to say no to something. Or if you grew up just being able to eat whatever you wanted.
Starting point is 01:08:30 Yeah. And you never had to say no to food. But the other of us who were chubby little buggers, mums were like, come on, let's do some exercise and stuff. And you had to learn to say no to the egg cream donuts. Born you can't eat an entire bag of farm-baked biscuits. And I'll be like, can't I? Watch me.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Yeah, if you've never had to say no to things. Right. You don't have, you've never exercised your willpower and they believe willpower is exhaustible. Now, when you were eating your crackers with dust on them last year, shredding for the wedding and eating like bird food was ridiculous. Did you find your willpower had diminished? I was exhausting a lot of willpower on that. But then I don't know where I was like saying yes to things then.
Starting point is 01:09:12 She also didn't have the energy to have sex with anybody else. She's like, drags herself home. She's like, I'm just going to lie here. Like knock yourself out, mate. But I've only been eating crackers. But the more I diet, the more Coke Zero I drink. Because I'm like this is... And that is something that you usually maybe
Starting point is 01:09:30 pull back on. I can realise I'm having too much of that, but no, I'm doing that. So I wouldn't have to do that. Well, you just gotta make sure if you are dieting that you stay away from Toyboys. Okay. Be really careful, please. Because they're my kryptonite.
Starting point is 01:09:48 They're your art killer's heel. Right. You can't say no. Or sugar daddies. I don't know Megan with you sometimes. So apparently meditating is a good way to exercise your willpower because it's saying no to everything. No, I don't have the attention span.
Starting point is 01:10:01 No, but that's what it's about. It's about exercising the willpower to turn yourself up and just sit and do nothing because you're a bit all over the shop. What does that mean? You've got to be doing something. Yeah, because I went to that Les Mills class with Caitlin and I got told off for talking. That was yoga, not meditating.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Yeah, they're like, oh, the sun's coming out of your moon and out of your aura and just think about the trees. I was like, this is stupid. You don't necessarily have to think about the trees but you have to put in the willpower and just sit perfectly still. Oh, I can't do it.
Starting point is 01:10:30 And fight the want you want to have to be doing something. He can't even have a bath. Like sitting still in nice warm water. I run a bath and then I get in and I'm like,
Starting point is 01:10:37 bored. I'm like, what a waste of the environment. I'm like, this is such a waste. You're like, I'm going to give this thing a go. Wait, what do you do once you're in here? Even bubbles. I'm like, this is such a waste. You're like, I'm going to give this thing a go. Wait, what do you do once you're in here?
Starting point is 01:10:47 Even bubbles, I'm like, bored. Really? Yeah. Such a waste. The inability to be able to just do nothing is a sad state to be in. So today's fact of the day is that if you are really exerting all your willpower on dieting, you are more likely to, and I'm not saying you will, but more likely to than you wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:11:10 Get a toy boy. Yeah, get yourself a toy boy and treat, because willpower can be exhausted. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. There is a list of five things that dermatologists would never put on their skin. So these are the skin people that know what they're talking about. Some of these I find really interesting. So first of all on the list of five, spray on sunscreens. They are universally not loved by professionals,
Starting point is 01:11:47 and it's not because they don't work. It's because people don't put on a thick enough layer. So usually like... Yeah, and I find that at the beach in summer, you go for a spray and then the people next to you get it in the face, and they're like... That's what they're saying. Half of it goes into the ear, barely any of it goes onto your skin,
Starting point is 01:12:05 and then most people are just doing it too briefly, like... But is there a problem with it going on the skin? Because that's sort of an administration error. No, their problem is you get burnt easier. Right, that you don't do it. Yeah. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Number two was tanning oils. Now, I confuse this for fake tan, not fake tan. This is the tanning oils, so you get like a fake tan, not fake tan. This is the tanning oils so you get like a coconut oil with SPF 4 or something. Baby boomers love a tanning oil, don't they? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Does your mum use olive oil? No, she did when she was a teenager. She was slowly basing herself. She probably used some Cremelta spray. Oh my god. Whatever was cheapest and around. No, not God. Probably whatever was cheapest in a round. But no, not anymore. No, she doesn't use a tanning oil anymore.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Yeah, so basically low levels of SPF. People are still allowing themselves to get burnt. So dermatologists never use it, never put it on their skin. Chemical sunscreens. Now, dermatologists don't use this because they prefer what they call physical blockers. So I was thinking that's like a hat or something physically blocking the sun. But they're talking about zinc and titanium dioxide. They say it's much greater for reflecting UV radiation and it has less chemicals in it.
Starting point is 01:13:19 So the trouble is, though, you can't like put zinc all over your body. You put it on your nose for a bit of fun. But like, how are you going to put that all over your body? And that'll pretty cost a fortune too. Yeah. More than sunscreen. Now, Fletch is a great one for this. Dermatologists never put parabens on their skin.
Starting point is 01:13:37 Well, I don't know what those are. What the hell is a paraben? I always hear it's like no parabens. But I always, because I've got sensitive skin. I don't know, because I've just got natural beauty or something. I don't know why. But I, yeah, like, I just try to get a soap that's soap free. Well, you always see ones that say paraben free.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Yeah, but I don't know what that means. Yeah, good. But what is it? Parabens are naturally occurring in blueberries, mango and honey. But there's something bad about them that a lot of people are like, there's none of this in our soap. It's essentially a preservative. So it stops to, or it limits the bacteria, mold, and yeast growing in something.
Starting point is 01:14:10 So it helps your beauty products last longer. Right. And there has been no specific studies that have found that it's really bad for the skin. But then dermatologists are like, well, there's no studies that either way. Yeah, because I try to stay away from soaps that have like heaps of like fragrance in them. Oh, yeah, because I get rashy with fragrance. That's why you can't do scented toilet paper. You get an itchy anus, don't you?
Starting point is 01:14:34 Thank you for telling the nation that. That's why hotel soap. Like if I forget my soap when we go away, I'll just go to the supermarket and get some. Really? Because it always makes me itchy and yuck. Yeah. See, in the good old days, we just want to the supermarket and get some. Because it always makes me itchy and yuck, yeah. Yeah. See, in the good old days we just would have let you die.
Starting point is 01:14:50 Yeah. Darwin, man. You know, we would have evolved to being a stronger species if old itchy Mick can't handle soap, wasn't around to pollute the gene pool. That paraben, studies indicate methylparaben. I don't know, maybe that's a... Methy, methyparaben. Meth indicate methylparaben. I don't know, maybe that's a... Methy. Methyparaben.
Starting point is 01:15:05 Methyparaben. Yeah. Can react with UVB, leading to increased skin aging. Oh, okay. So no paraben soap's a good thing. Okay. Yeah. And lastly, exfoliants.
Starting point is 01:15:17 What? Dermatologists never put exfoliants on your skin. First of all, microbeads. Your body scrubs. Bad for the environment. But secondly, it's just like literally peeling off everything, you know, natural oils and everything off their skin. First of all, microbeads are bad for the environment, but secondly it's just like literally peeling off everything, you know, natural oils and everything off their skin. So generally
Starting point is 01:15:29 they don't use them. But don't dermatologists do chemical peels and stuff? Micro abrasions? Yeah. You've got a good point there. Micro abrasion where they literally sandpaper your skin? You know, I got quite into, there was this St. Ives scrub.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Oh, the apricot. The apricot stone. Yeah, lovely. And the gritty part in it was ground up apricot stone or apricot for our American listeners. And that stuff was made for your feet because they say it's too harsh for the face. My face and head had never been smoother.
Starting point is 01:16:04 And it just meant like I'd put it through A buffer It was so nice Okay ZDM's Fletch Vaughn And Megan
