Speaker 2 (02:02):
You at the night and day afterwards. The top sex
on the way, it is on the way. We look
to be purchasing where I mean, where's the country? Okay?
A Mogami class frigate from Japan, So like you know
your toyotas your hondas with the other secondhand Japanese import frigate.
So I've got the top sex signs that you you

(02:23):
frigate is a secondhand Japanese import. Also coming up, I
have the top signs that you're actually in a really
healthy relationship and the number one sign it's good. Next, though,
San fran is morning a cat oh, a well known
popular cat. We'll discuss this next.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
The fletch Horn and Haley bed.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well, guys are sad news. A cat has been run
over in San Francisco by a waimo. Okay, one of
the one of the fully do you say autonomous autonomous
or automated vehicles? Yeah, I saw a lot of these
when I was in La last and I really wanted
to Our friends went in one. I really wanted to

(03:09):
go for a ride, but I couldn't get my text
so I didn't have roaming so it couldn't get my
number two authenticate the app. Oh, oh my god. There're
just insane to see driving around.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Do we in New Zealand because we're getting more cars
that can drive themselves, But don't we We've still got
a roll right.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
That you have to be behind the wheel. I think
so yeah, whereas in La and whatnot, there literally is
no one in the car. No, so many freeze that
it's just like this car just pulls up and tapes
around and it is weird to see. They've got like
a big kind of a bubble thing on the top,
and then they've got cameras everywhere and then here you
do you sit in You don't. I don't think you're
allowed to sit behind the wheel, but you can literally

(03:48):
sit in the back seat and no one's driving. It's
so wild. So how how well? So this this cat
is quite famous. It's a Bodega cat, so you know,
like a dairy cat. Yeah, and it's just always in
the dairy And apparently, yeah, a few days ago it
was run over by a Weimo and it's got people
really pissed. Reported details. I just gurgled to see KitKat

(04:10):
a cat. Yeah, it's a great tabby Hayley like your rolly.
Oh no, don't even know. The local complaint alleged the
weimo did not break s were for otherwise avoid the animal.
Bystanders say people on the sidewalk tried to pull kit
Cat from underneath the vehicle. Oh stop it, it's too awful.
Visibility could have been limited because it took place at night.
The incident all right in the cat's gray mane. Yeah,

(04:33):
but you'd think that would have cameras that would be
able to see in the dark.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I mean cats are thick because I yesterday I drove
from Todunger to Napier and I saw two cats like
running across highways.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
And I don't I mean, obviously, you know, you do
your best, but yeah, you're gegging for it and could
have been feral cats. You don't got no time for
feral cats. Yeah, I know. All they need though, is
a others love. That is absolutely simply there's been a
visual held for and it's got some like a local

(05:11):
politicians saying well maybe the state needs to do more
and let people have a say in how these vehicles operate.
So I don't know what's going to happen going forward,
But like just a couple of days ago, the CEO
of Weimo, she was asked a question, do you think
the public is prepared for Weimo to cause a death?
And she said, I think I think society is ready
for that what a human death is, But when do

(05:35):
you think about it like humans deaths every day, and
we we we I mean, you know we're affected by
it when it's someone we know, but you just accept.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
That we crashed all the time, and if someone dies
in cart crash, you're like, what an awful way to go?

Speaker 2 (05:50):
But off they've gone. So they've said that their robotaxis
cats Aside Cat Society's driverless vehicles are involved in ninety
one percent fewer crashes compared to human operated vehicles. So
I mean that's a great stat isn't it.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
I know it's a good step, But you're right, the
moment that a weymo causes a death, it was gonna
be like their prop they're the problem.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
They're the problem. Is we've been doing death. We've been
doing deaths page since like since we start fourteen twenty one.
No way before that, are you sure?

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Heaps before? Okay, okay, Well fourteen twenty one was the
first way moment death. I was reading my Bible last night.
Oh yeah, wherever it was kind of able. How did
that want to do go back? How far did that
go back to? Six thousand years? Of course I've been
doing a lot of death.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Then the z N podcast network plays z Ends.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Flitch one and Haley, I mean, there comes a moment,
doesn't there when you're in a new relationship and you
decided to take the plunge, and instead of going to
the bathroom and doing it into a tissue, or waiting
until you get home and getting in your car and releasing,
you make the choice to fart in front of your
new part and now you're doing it into a tissue

(07:03):
to muffle the noise, to muffle the noise.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yeah, yeah, whom, I know what I'm talking about. What
you'll do is you pop to the toilet I'm giving
away and fold yourself a little pad of sorts and
you just sort of plug up the back and you
into it and then we just like release.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
That kind of like rolling up a big wad of
tissue paper and chucking it into the end of a trumpet.
Really yeah, really to muffle the trumpet, Y say, you
wouldn't want to do it into your you know, curved palm,
because that's if you've ever seen someone play a trumpet,
sometimes they put those things on the end to get
a little bit of a different out. Yeah yeah, yeah,

(07:40):
but I like, I mean, I know the pain, I
know what it is like to start dating someone and
to hold onto your farts sometimes for days, so sometimes
for forty eight hours and then get into your own
car and just remove. So this is the sign that
you are in a good relationship.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Not only a good relationship, a healthy relationship if you
can find everyone's looking for.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
If you can fart in front of each other, fight
in front of your partner.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
To fart in front of one's partner is an indication
that you have a deep level of comfort, respect, trust,
and intimacy. It signals a mutual respect, a sign that
you would have good communication moving forward for bigger issues,
non fart issues. If you far in front of a

(08:30):
partner and they accept it, you're actually laying the foundation
for great communication in terms of how you move forward.
It breaks down a barrier when it comes to intimacy
and actually fighting in front of This is a quote
that I'm pulling from a psychologist report. By the way,
farning can increase intimacy and lead to better sex in
your relationship.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Better.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Because you're becoming more intimate and you're becoming more comfortable
with this pride.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
But you should at least waiter a little bit before
you let rap all the time, right, So.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
This psychologist has put together a list of what to
consider before you make the decision a choice to.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Release. Mutual respect.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
They say, while farting is natural and we agree, a
healthy relationship also requests open communication and mutual respect for
each other's comfort levels.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
So you want to know that your partner is going
to receive it well.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Or they suggest communication is the best way to move
forward and perhaps approach the topic with your new partner
and say, hey, how do you.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Feel about me? Lettin rip and then could imagine that
conversation and then you're going to fight and your sleep
at some stage and it didn't up anyway. Didn't you
wake yourself up the other night, Hayley?

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yes, I did wake myself up with a sleepy fart.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
And yes, was there a gentleman in the bed beside me? Correct?
And I did? Did he acknowledge it?

Speaker 3 (10:02):
He didn't, But I had that moment we're like a
big slappy far and I kind of came to and
I looked over at this gentleman, a stranger to me, and.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Just sort of wait to see if he was reacting.
And he did it? Okay, there was nothing.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Well, so it's a good sign if you're in a relationship,
maybe communicate Hey, are you ready for me to farm for?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
From the unmoderated comments section, this is the top six. Well,
we're getting a Mogami class frigate. Possibly, we're in talks
to Japan. I frige. It's a boat. It's just that. Yeah,
navy talk for a boat. Now that'll be secondhand from Japan.
Did we get an insurance payout?

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Is that ami insurance power for that frigate? We sunk
in some more excess, okay, and now we've got to
go sick and because what we we rode off our
new Yeah, we're just gonna, you know, save up for
another one. But in the meantime we need a daily Yeah.
So we're getting a Japanese multi mission stealth frigate. Have

(11:11):
you just been pouring through the Wikipedia of the Mogami
stealth because I said it's very boxy, and it's because
it's stealth. Yeah, it's like you know the stealth bomber,
that y plane, that black plane. But it's also got capability.
It can have a helicopter on it, and it can
have anti ship missiles and I'm assuming some kind of

(11:32):

giving big like no, it's a sushi train around the
inside of it. You just sit at the station and
a train goes park.

and like fried noodles, Yeah, fried noodles and then yeah,
so apparently apparently Australia has got a few of these.
It's a few navies around the world that have these. Yeah, okay, Hey,
we've just had a suggestion and on the text machine.

many many cars ago. Yeah, that was an a uber
the other day and the Japanese map was on and
I asked the guy to zoom right in so I

(14:05):
could see where we would be if we were in Japan.
Oh fine, and we were just like driving, and then
it would just chuck you on the nearest road, and
then of course he'd turn in New Zealand, which isn't
a turn in Japan, and would be in a rice
paddy field. Yeah, and I love the car stereo. It

And number one on the least of the top sex
ways you never have seen this one come come so next,
ways to tell your new navel friend it's a Japanese import.
The radio doesn't go above ninety on the FM. Literally
just said that. I literally made that joke. Minute shadow

(16:16):

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Does that m podcast network plays.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's scary screaming at us for five seconds ago? Stop
stop somebody talking about we're about going here, We're so
deep in a chat. Shut up. Put some mics on
complete change of subject. Yes, yeah, So.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Here's some absolutely terrible news basically for the hospital industry
and industry. I lasted five months and before I poured
a hot long black on someone and feed an ellergy
person pine nan Oh Jesus.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Strangling actress, really trying to have a job to help
with pay rent. I had bigger dreams than this cafe.
So again, another problem in your life was caused by
a long black and some nuts. Some would say that
it's not a problem. Not I don't see any problems,

(17:17):
not for you, your size coin anywayspitality anyway, any way, the
dire state of hospital, the diocet of hospital.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
They're calling it a New Zealand, the hospital industry hanging
by a thread.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
I mean, that's just it is weird seeing restaurants that savin.
I have survived multiple recessions and global financial prices and
COVID and everything, and they're like, this is the hardest
it's ever been and we can't do it anymore. I know,
it's it's really tough out there.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
It's so tough, and I do feel for people. Over
two thousand and five hundred restaurants, cafes and bars have closed.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
This year between January and August. Oh my god, Zealand.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
In New Zealand, that's up twenty percent from years gone by.
But you know, and this that includes your little hole
in the wall things, you know, giving it a go
and holes.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
It does take off, Haley, please, you know those hole
in the those hospital, those places, but the whole Christ
calm down, though, if we're gonna if we're going to
open a cafe.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Popular But isn't that In New Zealand alone, twenty five
hundred restaurants in the space of eight months.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
And some really well known ones as well, like getting
the If you are.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
In Auckland was one of the most popular restaurants that
shut down. I mean hang as you say it hung
on through COVID. It's hard Wellington suffering, Auckland and christ
the hottest spots for places closing down. I suppose it's
just your big centers, right, Yeah. A lot of eighty
one percent of surveyed hospit spots in christ Shirt said

(19:01):
that they're not in a good state.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Eighty one percent.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeez.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Isn't that absolutely insane? I will say though, it is
like it's expensive when you do go out, like it
is like I can see why, like people are finding
it tough. I can see why when people do go
out they may not be staying for long, maybe not
having as many drinks or maybe even not buying drinks
with dinner.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
So this is the number one cause they're saying is
the cost of living crisis, right, So everyone's raining in
their bouts and stuff. So we might say we're going
to go out for dinner and give ourselves a treat
still because you know, as we want to do, we
want a nice little meal, but we're going to cut
costs as we're going to go, or we won't drink.
We might have a couple of drinks before and after
at home. Yeah, we're not going to buy drinks there

(19:44):
because you know each drink is between bloody twelve to
twenty dollars. Yeah, and people are saying no, no, they're not,
so they're cutting extras like drinks, desserts and sides. We're
just going out and we're going to have the main
and we're going to come home.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, and always feel really bad when like, would you
like to say, dessert me in you and you're like, no,
thank you, But that's mostly because I've stuffed myself, so
I've gorged you. And then you're like, I know you
have a lot, yeah, and then and then you stuff
even more.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Then podcast Network plays ends. Flesh One and Hailey.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Men have been caught out for Angels for Man's Spreading Right,
which is when you're on your public transporter, on a
park bench or something, and your spread your leagues.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Wide so that your balls can have a bit of space.
They need to breathe. I know they need to breathe.
I want them to breathe. Making them very sticky. I'm
sure they are, but you're taking up so much extra space. Yeah,
guys can be pretty bad on public transport or seats.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Oh my gosh, the spread on you.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
And then it becomes almost sort of what's the word
like performative because you're like, man, not.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Got to spread real hard because lopper on my hands,
and you're like, okay, guys, I don't think that's what
guys think when they're man spreading on a bench. They
just like they're just like comfortable.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Where does it hang? I'm trying to think of the logistics.
So when you've got your legs tight together, it does
it sort of sit on top?

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah? Isn't it? Don't go down? And my parents goes up. Well,
I just set the top because it's it's on the top,
isn't it. Yeah? Yeah. Has there ever been one backwards?
I don't know. Has there ever been a medical like

(21:36):
upside down, dm B. Do you remember it was that
guy on Reddit didn't ask me anything and he had
too Yes, yes he may need Yeah he may need
to manspread. But did he have four balls? No? No
to no? So two balls? These were all and probably
all answered and the Reddit ask me anything. You can

(21:58):
probably go back and find those problem. But okay, so
man spreading.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Man spreading, we've known for years now men are calling
out a well, everyone's calling out a social behavior from
men called bag spreading and fletch. You do this as
a man who loves his backpack, but there's actually worn
You love a backpack as well, But you're not as
bad as flee.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, because you won't let me keep putting things in
your purse. That is not its purpose. I've been I've
had to bring a bag because Hailey doesn't have any
room for my charger and battery pack. Are you taking
your bag? Are you bringing your bag? I know exactly
what you're asking.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Bag spreading refers to wearing a backpack in like crowded
public spaces, public transport concerts, and then.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Like your like extra hump is actually.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Abating my personal space now and I've got to sort
of navigate your back hump.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, so that you can have your backpack. What is
the etiquette then if you're on a bus or you know,
when you're on a train maybe and you're standing and
it's quite crowd should you take off the bag and
hold it on one hand and put it on the floor.
But then someone could trip over it, or someone could
steal it if you're in a big city over seats.
I don't know what proper etiquette is, but he's an
example was a big place us. I probably put it

(23:14):
down there anyway, keep a better eye on it because
if we're on your back, they could be getting into it.
Were it on your front, we're on your front, but
you're still taking up space.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
Jen took part in this online commentary about bag spreading
Sydney commuter. She says she was repeatedly hit in the
face by a man's backpack on a crowded bus because
he was sort of swinging around. Yeah, and I hate that.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
If you're shorter as well, you're getting that right in
the face totally.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
They call it entitled and inconsiderate, and they're saying, yeah,
it's a it's a it's a big gendered thing because
often excuse me often ment you know already maybe taller
and bigger in general, shall we say, And now you've
added this huge sort of back girth and here you
are swinging it around, and us petite little.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Women were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know what
to say about that.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
I yeah, this, apologized, saying it's a decline of social etiquet.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Declared I'm pretty sure this. And also I feel society's
got farber issues. Yeah, collapse of societal etiquette, I will say,
if we're gonna like have potshots, I've been sitting on
an aisle seat many times and had a handbag in
the face. Oh really, You know when people walk down
the island, they're like, don't, don't, don't if you say
sweet knockers love and she wacks you with your handbags

(24:37):
the face. I'm sick of you being like, give us
a smile, sweetness? Is that why I keep getting a.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Hand plays it in split one and Hailey, silly little pole.
It is so silly, silly, silly, that silly little pool, silly.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Silly little pole. Today. Are you okay if you're not
sitting next to your partner on a flight? Yeah? Something
popped up online again one of those people, like they
wouldn't let me sit next to my boyfriend. It's one
hour fly one hour even, Like, I don't know if
sleek deceit or don't moan about it.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
I just I actually prefer it. I don't want to
talk to anyone ever ever on a flight, Like, I
just want to put my headphones on and not talk
to anyone.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, it's you're in your space a like enjoying my thone. Yeah,
I'm doing my thing even if your partner's next to you. Yeah. Wow,
this also started. You see what happened in the group
chat this morning, because we've really kind of opened a
wound here again, ripped off, scabbed. Oh yeah, well we've
caused a marital riff. Our friend Mike will constantly use

(25:55):
his upgrades and leave his partner in economy. He's mean,
he's done it many times. And you know, if you've
got a free upgrade and it comes through, I'm sorry,
but you're an economy I'm off you. Could you save
the upgrade until next time you got an upgrade and
then upgrade both of No, it might not be, it
might not happen. Ah. Really, In fact, you know what

(26:15):
he told me the other day. He purpose I wouldn't
say it loud, I reckon, don't say it what he
told you that. I might have been okay, I didn't
he say it in front of him. I just wouldn't
say I See. He purposely books somewhat separate tickets so
that he doesn't get held back by him when he
gets upgrade, because sometimes he reckons they weren't upgradh because
he's with his husband.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
One of the most understanding marriages I've ever witnessed in
my life.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Between those two, it works, doesn't it. It works if
you work it well. We asked you, are you okay
if you don't sit next to your partner on a flight.
Fifty three percent of you said yes, I don't mind
at all. Okay. Forty seven percent said no, I'll only
sit next to them. See. I've been asked once to
move on a flight, and I did because it was
the same aisle seat. Yeah, And I was like, that's fine.

(27:04):
And then when I got to the seat, it had
one of those you know that sometimes the seatback entertainment
has a big box under the seat, and it was right,
it was right where my leg goes, and I'm like, oh,
I just ungraded myself. Yeah, you have to. You're with
your kindness and generosity, and that's why he never did
it again exactly. Some feedback on it, critique says, I'm

(27:26):
on staff travel, so you're grateful to get a seat
on the same plane. Yeah, that's sitting next to each
other's a big bonus. That's when airline stuff get the like,
you know, cheap fears. But you have to literally find
out last minute if you even get on the plane. Yeah.
I voted no, said Asia, but only because we have
children and if we are sitting together, then chances are
I'm not the one sitting alone. If he were to
have the crotch gremlins with him, then I'm all for it.

(27:49):
Yeah cremlins, crounch gremlins. Oh my image and said my
mum once said, I think it would be nice if
for you kids. I know, your dad and I were
together if the plane went down, And I genuinely thought
that was a really sweet look at being an orphan.
So that's why the moment they had met images, mum

(28:09):
and dad like to sit next to each other, so
by side. Yeah, look, Matt's just message saying he does
know that he does books separately. I reckon it should
null void a prenup. Oh kay, yeah, look, that's a
legal question I can't answer, Shelley said. I said, no,
but it really depends how long is the flight. Domestic
all good if we're a part ossie maybe, but if

(28:31):
I'm going to the other side of the world, you
best believe we're sitting together so we can watch something
called the iPad together and yeah and talk. Ah Cursey,
he said, it depends on links. Totally fine with domestic trips,
but would be a bit upset for a long haul.
Pret says, sit next to a stranger. Now think you
that's just going on an aeroplane every time though. Yeah,
but yeah, she might opt for switching seats with her

(28:55):
partner so they're the buffer between her and the Yeah.
What if there was a four play in the middle
and they had the middle two sets? Oh yeah, it
really appears probably what to sit next to them on
the way to our destination, but separately on the way home,
if you know what I mean. Because you had enough
of them, Yeah, had enough of them. I think that
one deserves the Okay, yeah, okay for that very real

(29:18):
take on it. On traveling a little pole today, all
thanks to make Cafe keep the show on the road,
one cup at a time. It's more socially acceptable to
grab my partner and I'm scared rather than a stranger,
said Caroline. Yeah, but that's the sort of a beautiful
love story. Grab onto the things. Do you want someone
that's that scared all the time? No, I don't know.
From Caroline to a Caroline, I mean, I don't mind, Caroline,

(29:44):
stay stay tuned, Stay tuned for Friday gyms today, all
little clue there alongs in Caroline. Then you've got to
play Roses. No, I'm not playing Roses, and Hayley won't
let me play hey you because it's moated, so I can't.
You know what.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
I didn't want to be out and on here and
I didn't ask for this. I think, heyar By outcast
is a rubbish song.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Wow release oh die on this? Hell, I don't mind,
but like, why am I not be organized and pick
your seats? But in reality, I'm with the kids and
he's sitting across the aisle with noise canceling headphones on,
acting like a childless batch, like James Corden, like James
Corden and James Corden is want to do?

Speaker 4 (30:27):
That?

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Is such a great story, That story of James Corden
on a plane. It's so funny. Somebody was on Is
it real? Yeah? How do we know this is real?
Because he apologized that's right. Okay, So he was on
a plane. Somebody was at the buffer of business class
and economy on a transatlantic flight from America to the UK,
and James Corden got on. They're like, oh wow, James Corden.

(30:50):
And then opposite James Cordon on the other side of
the eye was a woman with a screaming child in
business class as well. Now James Corden ignored them, and
they were like, man, James Gordon's gonna be pissed off
having to sit next to that screaming child on the
on the end of the flight, that whole flight. At
the end of the flight, James Gordon got up, got
her bag down and held her hand. It was his
wife and CHILDI the whole time, kind of a scream

(31:11):
in the plane out and he just had very expensive
noisecance on headphones on his head. We both want an
aisle seat so I can book us opposite aisle seats,
so we're still together but can get up when we
want to suspics. Oh that's nice. And I saw this
online the other day. It's the ultimate couple seating double
aisle and yeah, you can hold hands if you want,

(31:31):
but you've got easy access to the aisle. But watch
out for the drinks trolley. Yeah, get you in the knees.
We never go on holiday, so best bit im. I
am one hundred percent beside him. And so someone says,
if they are there, that's better. Of course if they
aren't though at Bitter be I better be sit next
to someone with tan skin and green eyes. Show fave.

(31:55):
So today for Silly Little Pile, we said, do you
mind if you I'm not sitting next to your partner
on a flight, and fifty three percent he said, don't
mind at all.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Then podcast Network plays that ends flesh.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
One and Haley's now we know the producer.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
Girl is love the books. I love books as well,
but probably not as much. And also shout out at
Carwen reads on Instagram.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Get it to three thousand. She's really trying. She's trying
to get there jetitor three thousand. Yep, Carwen book book fluenza.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah, she's a book Fluenzer at book karlhen you love
to read you.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
I saw on your extra you're at three thousand and six.
What a day? What a day, poor baby baby, Because
I saw on your Instagram Carwhen at Carwen Reads on
Instagram you have already on the seventh of November blown out.
You've surpassed your book reading goal of the year. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:57):
My goal was forty and I'm at forty two books.
But this does a lot of them are.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Hearing mcleary from Donaldson's Theere It Takes Fun. Oh yes,
reads it. I reread the entire Captain Underpounds serious.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
But also some of those are audiobooks and Fairness, which
I have had official word from Harshet the publishers that
audiobooks is reading reading.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
I've said this many years, haven't I.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Of course it is because you're interesting, the beautiful story.
I totally agree. So now there is uh, there's the
rise in a kind of a social activity, and they're
saying it's perfect for those who are introverted but still
looking for a little kiss of social interaction.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Silent book clubs. We get together.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
There's no assigned reading, no discussion, no pressure, not like
your book clubs that you're you're part of Carwen and that.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
You run where you chat. This is we hop in.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
We might say hi to kick things.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Will say any thing? Or did we just sit as
like a library, you just come in quietly and set
not quietly.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
And basically and then you will sit around and you
read silently together and then eventually go great session, you leave.

Speaker 5 (34:11):
I love this, you know, yes, so fun. You all
meet up at somewhere cute, maybe like a cute bookstore
or like the park or something, and then just like read.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
It's nice.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
It's like I spent some time with my friends, but
also I got to do what I wanted to do,
which was read, and no one talked to me.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
So this was this started in twenty twelve, so this
has been over for a while.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
It all started. I don't want to I don't want
to purpose your story. But I actually did silent reading
at school a long time ago. Silent reading when the
teacher just couldn't be asking. It was just called silent reading.
It wasn't even called sustained silent reading. It was just
silent reading. Yeah, just shut up and read.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
So this study years ago as a small thing of
like oh show we made up, you know, was reading
the same book Let's Go, and it has just exploded
post pandemic and now it's huge. These silent groups, they
just like meet up, they pick a spot and read
their quiet little books.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
I love this.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
I think that there are quite a few books that
I was an Auckland that do this. They offer it
late night, so after work you can go to the
book store just sit there and have a read.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
But you want to like, okay, I get it, well,
reading in silence, but just do that. But at home,
if you're doing a sort of semi social thing, don't
you want to be chatting and saying, like, you know,
a good chapter.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
I guess it depends on your living situation though, Like
if you have flatmates, maybe they're annoying and loud. Maybe
if you have kids, you just want to escape them,
you know.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Like.

Speaker 5 (35:37):
Yeah, but also I'm sure that if you did have
a chat but like, oh my god, you have to
read this, but I just read like, no one's gonna
be no.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
They would.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
They're called silent book clubs for a reason. They just
you were like, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Somebody said they do similar things with craft clubs. People
take their work and project work in progress and just
grop sitting and do their would love that you.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
Yeah, I've seen some movie cinemas offer it and they
do dim lighting because obviously you need to see the
craft and obviously yeah, and people will bring their knitting,
their crochet or anything and then girlies will just sit there.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Could I bring the set of drawers I'm making.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Plays plays that ends.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
The movie Predator Badlands as out in cinemas across the
country today, were joined in studio by the star of
Predator Badlands Demitrius. Good Morning, good morning, good morning. I
think it's almost love the Predator franchise, Like it was
the first scary action I watched as like a kid,
the original to Predator. Yeah, and it was horrifying, terrifying,

(36:50):
but you couldn't seeing and visible. Yeah. And also the
three red dots when he was like hunting things in
the original. I love so was this like you got
to be the Predator, man.

Speaker 7 (37:03):
It's crazy. It's still kind of surreal to be honest. Yeah. Man,
like as a franchise that literally span it like twenty years.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (37:10):
Yeah, like being able to be a part of it.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
I have. Also, your face is so much better than
in the film.

Speaker 8 (37:18):
Are you sure your lifts a way less sort of fleary?
You know when you talk like teeth like great teeth, demetrious.
I had to leave those other teeth at home today.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
So how much of that because the when it came out,
I didn't know that it was you. I was like,
this will be the opening a little bit and then
we'll see them, but the like, how much of that
was prosthetics and how.

Speaker 7 (37:41):
Much was c G I so pretty much the whole
suit was prosthetic except for the face. So the faces
cut out for the facial captures. Yeah, oh wow, okay, yeah,
so I was quite lucky in that sense where I
didn't have to have like ours and saying what.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
They did to your face? I don't know. With have you?
You're typically pretty handsomely like I'm stir, I'm the star
of this movie and you can't even see me exactly. Yeah,
and the number a little bit on the street being

(38:16):
like I'm gonna say, pre guy, look it looks just
like the character.

Speaker 7 (38:19):
I've got a few of these messages. Yeah yeah, they
didn't use any make up.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Lhood friends and stuff too. Popper, Yeah, yeah, gotcha, gotcha?
Are they so stick.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
At This is a bit of a side statement, and
I will get back to the film.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
But do you know when you google you that its that.

Speaker 7 (38:36):
You're I've seen that like seven through your solf yesterday.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
We were like, oh my god, this guy's like messive
when he comes through the doors and stuff.

Speaker 7 (38:47):
It's so funny because like I've got so much like
hate from it, Like people are like, you're not seven,
but I just refuse to like address it online, which
I'm like, bro, I love it, but the controversy is good.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah, this feels like such a huge leap up, Like
I mean, it's amazing. This is like a huge blockbuster
film and you've been in some of like New Zealand's
awesome stuff like the was the Brass, Red White and
Brass and Panthers and stuff. Are you feeling that leap
like going from not that New Zealand cinemas small but

(39:19):
it's a bit more isolated now you're on this global stage. Yeah,
it's quite it's buzzy.

Speaker 7 (39:25):
It feels the same like when you're working, because you know,
same kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
It's cre camera or whatever.

Speaker 7 (39:29):
But yeah, I think it's all the stuff afterwards, you know,
the press and the Yeah, it's a it's a lot
at times.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
And you hit el Fanning on.

Speaker 7 (39:40):
Yeah as a backpac she's so coolly. She's actually really
humble and like just really nice. I was like kind
of nervous at first. I was like, oh my gosh,
she's going to be a dev off, Like I don't
know what she's going to be like. But then yeah,
she came on and she's just so like down to
earth and really helpful.

Speaker 4 (39:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:55):
Yeah, put me on a lot of game, which was yeah,
really cool.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
So we saw the first twenty minutes and there were
three intense, separate different fight scenes and maybe four technically. Yeah,
it's just.

Speaker 7 (40:08):
Like what's It's a lot of training like for it,
Like man, it was. So we had a month of
pre production and they just had me in every day
with the stunt scene just like pretty much just strength training,
trying to eat my body prepped to like have the
suit on because it's like an extra like tenkgs for Thinkiji's.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
That I have to wear like everydow. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (40:26):
Yeah, and like the suit kind of restrictional movement, like
it kind of just feels like resistance bands time like
that you're wearing.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
So we know we've all dropped a bit of Wait recently,
I'm carrying around a twenty kg pack for the last week.
I know what it's like to train a bit here
the end.

Speaker 7 (40:42):
Yeah, but it was Yeah, it was good training because
at first day I was like, oh, yeah, like I
trained usually, so I should be fine, And then I
got in the suit I was like, oh, yeah, I'm
not fine.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
But also the speed of it, like all of the
sword work and stuff, because I'd want to just go fast,
but imagine you had to start super slow, right with
all the combat stuff.

Speaker 7 (41:00):
Yeah, it was funny because the swords that we used
in training, they like taped together two swords so it
could be heavy as so that when one sit like
it just feels like yeah yeah yeah. I was like Bernie,
like broke mom not doing training because it's so heavy.
I'm like my forearms that I'm actually not seven three.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Despite what you're read, do you get to like understand
what the audience is going to see eventually? You know,
because I imagine there's lots of green screen. You're not
completely looking like what you're going to look like. Do
you ever get to see a snippet of hey, this
is what it is actually what you're creating.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (41:36):
Yeah, So they had the I called him the CGI Master,
but he was just the pretty much the guy you've
seen all of that. He would show us like snippets
of what it would be looking like, so they'd be
editing while we're filming.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (41:49):
Yeah, so they'd like, do your little bits and pieces
here and there, so they're like, yeah, this is what
you're going to look like.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Did they help you because otherwise you just be like
just like weird green dots, you.

Speaker 7 (41:59):
Know, silly kind of But it was kind of cool
because since we filmed a lot of it in New Zealand,
like we were actually on location.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
I was gonna wonder because I saw like some ferns
and I was like, I always kind of fern. I've
been over seasons and I was like, I thought only
we had fern. We saw the bucket fountain and the
sky tower and you know, yeah, wow, I guess so

(42:27):
some of the that was gonna I was gonna ask,
we're about in New Zealand?

Speaker 7 (42:29):
Did you film all over all over North Island? So
there was that opening at like when you first get
to the planet that's on Bethel's Yes, Okay, that's Bethel's Beach.
We filmed that, like Hanora Falls. We went to the
red Woods and South heard yeah all over the police.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
Man.

Speaker 7 (42:50):
It was it was really cool, like yeah, the Americans
they love it here. I was just like, yeah, this
is a standard. You know what I'm saying, This is like,
this is.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
What we have.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
I kind of feel like it would be that, you know,
usually imagine a key we kid getting on a massive
set being overwhelmed by like how cool an American everyone has,
but would be the other way around, people being like
You're so lucky to be Yeah.

Speaker 7 (43:10):
Literally, they were all saying like, man, we would love
to live here. I was like, hmm, it's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Crowded. Did you take the many cool places? Were you?
Like the guide?

Speaker 9 (43:22):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (43:23):
I tried to be, but then like doing the shoot,
like our ours were just hectic yea. So it was
just like I couldn't really. I was like, I think
I'll just sleep, but I'll give you like some pointers.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Yeah yeah, get a sandwich from there.

Speaker 7 (43:35):
I'm not coming back, so I'm going to have a nap,
but you can go.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
So what's next, Like you're going you'll be traveling around
doing press for this all over the over the world.

Speaker 7 (43:44):
Yeah, so we'll be at London for the comic con
that they have going on there and then premiere in
Ali and then yeah, just go around doing press, Dunkard
and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
It must feel so sorreal soreal to l A. Probably
get a nice suit or something.

Speaker 7 (44:01):
Yeah, you guys, can I take this home?

Speaker 2 (44:08):
What's this afterwards? Like i'velready got one from Helenstein's, Like
this one is just yeah, I think it's still first
it from Frank Casey here and take it work. You
just return it when you get back.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
We'll best of luck, Demetris. Yeah, I can't wait to
see the rest of the film.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Thank you so much. Thank you guys for having me
appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Fletch Haley, Big Pod.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
New Zealand's a bit of a buzz at the moment
because especially the restaurant industry, because apparently the Michelin Star
people are expanding into New Zealand and have for a
while been dining at all the restaurants.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
Secret Jessy Mulligan, I mean, will be beside himself that
these people are coming in with a hotter opinion than him.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Well, yeah, that he writes for The Herald doesn't know
that would be the best job reviewing. I think about
all the time. You're not paying all this nice you
do pay, but he claims he would claim it back.
Yeah yeah, yeah, so so good. I read what a
Michelin star sort of like dining experience looks like. Okay,

(45:14):
they visit anonymously, they never announced themselves. They pay for
the meals that don't ask for special treatment. They blend in. Yeah,
they apparently ignore daycoor hype, celebrity status, how big the whiners,
or whether or not the chef's Instagram is popping off.
They focus on quality of ingredients, mastery of the techniques,
harmony flavors, personality of the chef in the cuisine, and consistency.

(45:34):
A star cannot be awarded by a single reviewer multi
they have to have multiple visits. Oh okay, yeah, so
you just someone's like Susan's like Barry, I've got I've
got a star here. Option you go and give it
a Goah yeah, yeah, give it, give it another one.
So because Susan might light the squid and Barry might
not devil with for you, So stars it for the

(45:57):
food at the restaurant. One star is you're a good restaurant.
Two stars excellent cooking with the detail, because that's why
it's called Michelin Star, because the tire people initially started
that how much of a detour this food would be worth?
It's worth wasting your times, wasting your tires. Three is
exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey. They get re evaluated
every year. Oh yeah, restaurants don't apply, they don't pay.

(46:18):
There's no nomination system. They decide where to send the
inspectors based on buzz food media, local recommendations, word of mouth,
and their own discovery team. If you ever eaten in
a Michelin Star, they're always pas you hear of a
Michelin Star restaurant. They're expensive, right, but every now and
then they'll give one to like a street food place.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
Remember those documentaries on Netflix and it was like this
little noodle spot and wherever get to Michelin's and then.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
They get overrun and you from seven am. Well, aside
from this and all the posh places that will get
Michelin Stars, we thought this morning it would be funny
to take your local recommend who's your michel, who's your mission?
Who has a Michelin Star in your heart is it? Like,

(47:05):
is it the local takeaways shop that it's place in
Wellington that does the Chinese smakeas board because it's just
amazing cracking fish and chips, like the chips fish crispy.
Maybe you've got a great local fish and chip shop.
You're just your local place that is never going to
get a Michelin Star, but has one in your heart.

(47:26):
Has your heart's Michelins, has your Heart's Michelin Star. Yeah,
because everybody has that play And maybe it's a bit
maybe it's got a D food rating. Yeah, maybe it's
you that is. It's consistently delicious and dirty. Do you
remember how much people used to love that food court
the Mercury Plaza before they turned it into the train station. Yeah, yeah,

(47:48):
did a hell of a suit. People love that. Always
went there before a game which was you know, was
a real roll of the dice when it came to
a rumbling dumbling were birds inside.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Yeah, Katy Cafe and Wellington, I know Wealentonians will be like,
yeah Casey Cafe or Sarte Kingdom, you know.

cons is still some seats available indeed.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
But yesterday we drove from Todunger to Napier, lovely drive.
I don't know, I slept through most of it. And
when I got to Napier, I had a hankering for
a sweat, you know, And I just I haven't exercised
for a while, and as you know, I'm trying to
get real like extraordinarily hot quite quickly for summer, for

(58:36):
many reasons being one of them, showing my naked body
to strangers being the other. And and so I got
to Napier and I just hankered for a sweat. And
I will say, and this is no disrespect to where
I'm saying, but they say gymnasium, you know, complimentary gymnasium, and.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
I go down half deflated Swiss ball.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
There was an exercise bike that didn't have a power
cord and nor a power point to plug it into.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
Why do they bother it? They should just buy memberships
of the local German say go here.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
There were six weights, none of which matched, you know,
and I was like, okay, this is not what I'm after.
I know, yeah, yeah it was in It was in
the basement of the car park.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
I was like, this isn't happening. And so something in
me just said.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
Run, you know, run really and for some people yourself
included porn, that's a normal thing to do for exercises,
to run. A lot of people run. Our dear friend
Mettie MacLean, he loves a run. He's become a runner
who doesn't shut up about running and posts all.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Of his runs drama every day. It's I went for
a run.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
It's like, oh cool, Yeah, I also did interesting things
with my day, and so I went for a run.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Here's my review one my shorts. My thighs are hungry
and man, they ate up the shorts and I just constant.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
So if you saw me running along the waterfront of
Napier constantly pulling at my crotch, it was because the
shape of my thighs it's like a mouth.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
When I run. I was like, do not normally run?
You walk? I walk. I don't. Cardios not for me.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
And I hate running. I've always hated running. And then
so yeah, my crutches, eating the shorts. And then because
I hadn't planned to run, I did not wear a
running bra.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
So you seen us a video and I did want
to ask because it was everywhere and I had to
look away, and I was like, yeah, I don't know
this nauseous kind of nauseous watching my norks bouncing up

(01:01:04):
and down.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
Am I run? I did see the video. I had
to get content of me doing this run. Of course
I am the new man in McLean.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Yeah, it was great, though I loved it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
Oh my god. The whole time I was running, I
was like, I reckon. This is one of the most
horrible ways that a human being can pass time. You're like,
this sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
If your body can handle it's good fitness, I know, and.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
I will say like, I've always struggle with running. I've
never been I've never been able to go far.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
I had four point two.

Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
Kilometers on my first run in years, and you didn't
post it on social media? Interesting, No, because what I'm
gonna do is hard launch.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
I'm going to do a marathon.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
I just finished, okay, I finished my four point two
kilometers and.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
You've done a tenth of a marathon and you're like,
I can do that way? Do you keep going? Are
you doing a full or a half? Do you start?
Halves are embarrassing. I'm sorry, you're going to strap those
norks down because you're gonna have two black eyes and
about ten k's then I reckon. I know because the
last time I ran as well, my norks were much
younger and I was much lighter, so they were smaller
and tighter. And now near the norks, I've got to

(01:02:10):
get a.

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
Good running bra yes, okay, as I high perfectate on
my new hobby, and then I'm gonna get all the gear.
I'm gonna going to, you know, like to put on
my little yells.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
And I know, I don't think we need to look
at it. You're in the in the Special Forces Grenades.
It's gel pick some of those running sunnies. Oh yeah,
my friend's got some of those. Yeah yeah, Crookeeters the
nineties and stuff like via the original pit. Why didn't
you start with a half and then go to the
fall because the four point two just really fell under

(01:02:47):
my feet. It was so easy on the face ten
of those How long did it take you to four
point two?

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
I will not say, will not say on how long
four point two kilometers took me?

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
It's shameful. What are we talking? Like? An hour? No? Okay, right,
well a ten hour marathon out there for a long time.
You've said it on are so now you have to
lie find a local one, like when you see next week. Fuck,
it's okay, how hard can it be? It's really hard,

(01:03:20):
actually really hard. It was a breeze. Okay. Yeah. Then

Speaker 4 (01:06:58):
Fact of the Day, Day day day day, Dude, Dodd
do do do doude.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Do? Well, it's very tale week at Fact of the Day.
And I've just realized they accidentally sourced six not five.
Oh okay, you want Goldilocks or Pinocchio or both Goldie Locks. Goldilocks, yeah, okay, Pinocchio.

Speaker 6 (01:07:30):
Water bar.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
Pinocchio was like, well, which is the story? Well, they're
both pretty dark. Okay, I'm just going okay, not to
do too. I've told you. Okay, we don't have time. Okay, here, cool,
thanks for ruining Christmas dead Goldie Locks. Before foraging cuteness,
there was trespass and punishment. The first ridden version came

(01:07:53):
at two year. She was tress as she was trespassed.
The first written version came in an eighteen thirty seven.
It featured not the golden haired child that gave it
its name, Goldilocks and the three beers, but it was
simply the three beers and a malicious old woman. A
malicious old woman, milicious and the three beers doesn't quite know. Yeah.

(01:08:17):
So she sees the beers are family cottage, stumbles in there,
eats their food, drinks their milk, yeah, breaks their chair,
and sleeps in the baby bear's beard. The beers return,
she wakes and screams and appearing. Depending on the variant
that you'll read, she is either beaten yep, to death, yeah,

(01:08:37):
she burn in their fireplace, yeah, or throwing out the window. Now.
I don't believe the windows open before she's thrown out.
That's a very implantation because I have always thought this
is very realistic because in real life she would be
more to death by the beers and real lifelies. Yeah,
they wear brown grizzlies. There was an europe the European

(01:08:59):
Beers because it was from Europe. Smaller if it now,
if it was written in Canada or Alaska, Oh yeah,
those beers are to your face off. In a second,
it was golden locks in the Three Polar Bears. There
would not be a story. No that I opened the
door Alpha Predator did. Yeah, me beer, You know the
saying if it's black fight back. If it's brown, lay down,

(01:09:20):
and if it's white light. If it's white, good night?
Is that about good night? Otherwise I'd disagreed, but carry off.
If it's brown, lay down, lay down, lay down on
your stomach. I don't even know why I said that.

(01:09:42):
Rue regret it later on. Later on, a few years later,
the retaelling softened it to be a naughty little girl,
and Victorian illustrators gave it the now iconic curls. It
was easiest kind of here to to draw, Okay, so
they made her goldie locks, and the story shifted from
being about violent retribution to the moral lesson of don't

(01:10:03):
invade others homes or take what isn't yours. A much
nicer story without the gore. Yeah, but it remained about
boundaries and consequence and a nice little warning, yeah, to
not go into other people's houses. I love that. Yeah.
So today's back to the day. As originally, Goldilocks was
a malicious old woman and the beers.

Speaker 4 (01:10:23):
Fact of the day, day day day day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10:28):
Do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do
do do.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
The ZM podcast network, what's going on? Ms fledged Vorn
and Hailey.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
New Zealanders are taking more sick days than ever. We're
still just not that man. Yeah, So the average was
six point seven, and since this Syrup workplace survey started
in twenty twenty two, it's the highest it's been, so
it's actually gone up since COVID. So it equates to

(01:11:04):
nearly thirteen million lost work days, which is compared to
last year ten million. So it's it's insane when you
look at it like that, But way are we looking
at it like that?

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
Yeah, you're entired to them, Flitch, you don't take your
sick days?

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
Why you're not settled to them? I'm not sick, but
just take them. I've got great gut health. That's why, guy,
That's why I didn't get Barley Belly.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
I was gonna say, I've taken a few this year
for like mental health reasons, but you've also got great
mental health.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
I'm there's just no faulting the guy. Well, once you
remember when I had to have two weeks off for
Adult Chicken Box, Yes, I remember that. That was wild.
And I watched four seasons of twenty four with Jack Balle,
which if you do the maths on it. That's quite impressible,
so very impressive. I didn't leave the bed room. That's
ninety six hours of television. It's a fantastic twenty four
hour twenty four or twenty four hours tixton now nine

(01:11:55):
six nine sex or give us a call. I want
one hundred dollars in him. What was the great reason
you pulled a sect? I don't want it, like not
actual sickness, Like what did you pull a sicky for?
You know, like did you have a long weekend somewhere?
Did you go to a concert? And you've got to
be careful when you do this, because if you're friends
with workmates on social media that you know want to
climb over you on the corporate ladder, you know, kick

(01:12:16):
you down, You've got to hide your activity on social media.
Oh god, it's a more, really good way. I've just
asked this lightly. The text machines already flown and we
had responses on Instagram today. I'm taking a SECT day
because I want to plant my potatoes. It's the season,
isn't it. Christmas. I've already got my I've got my
