people are definitely more prone to warts than others. The
difference comes down to how well your immune system recognizes
and fight softer. The hip of this is this is classic.

was like if you were doing decorations or something you
had no yeast. It's like flat and it's like this
hard disk, almost cracker esque, but not delicious, like no salt,
no flavor, no nothing. It's like flour and water and
it goes hard.

fletched Vorn and Haley.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
Play ms fleshed.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
One and Haley.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Okay, there is this is not good news. So there
is an actress. Her name is Shane Mitchell. She was
in Pretty Little Liars and you you know, you know
the stalkery series from Netflix, The Guy pen Bag.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, oh yeah, okay, okay, Yeah. She's a bit of you,
isn't she worn. She's an Canadian actress and entrepreneur.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
Yes, well the entrepreneur b is the bit we want
to talk about, not her acting work, because she over
the weekend launched her new skincare brand called Renie. It's
the Korean word for children. Now we know Korean skincare
is like wolf, like huge top top sheff stuff. We
love the Korean skincare. This skincare is called children basically

(13:59):
because of for toddlers, for little baby.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
We're talking like we're talking child skincare.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
We're talking toddler widow.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
We're not talking we talked about Sephora kids. Because everyone
from the age of like ten is now like I
gotta go to Mecca, I gotta go to all the
skin care and everyone was like, please don't put retinol
on your face.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
You're gonna burn it off.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Yeah, you've got thin skin, hasn't been weathered by the
sun like mine. So no, this is really aimed at
very very young children. Really it's released. It started with
three face masks. Okay, we can put on skin care.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Imagine a four year old with a face mask.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
They're calling them cyper allergenic and say for kids, but
there's just a bigger issue, right even if the stuff
that the kids are putting on their skin is gentle
enough for kids skin, which by the way, dermatologists are.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Like stop, like like, just put some lock.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
On your kid.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
They don't need anything else. Could argue that you could
just do that for adults as well. You don't need
a you're gonna put anything on it, some block in
the nets. Yeah, I think you could probably speak to
burning off half your face last month as someone that's
had has children and continues to have you got some
block on.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
It's also what we say to if we have some
block off. Yeah, you very noughty. You guys got sunscrewen on, I.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Got I got my still got my barley ten a
little bit.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
You would still if you put Sunscrewen'll se Vaughn's translucent, Like.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, we've gone and got a little bit of color
on the arms. Oh yeah from Barley for sure.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
But I that's on my face every single day though,
even through winter. Some block is a mask for me.
And that's why incredible.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
But people were outraged that this is even a thing.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
So dermatologists are calling it the lesser of two evils.
Kid formulated products are the lesser of two evils, even
if they're mild and well tested. It's more about psychological
what we're training kids to get into, right, And then
parents are like, it's gonna it's gonna it's like early
beauty conditioning that they're gonna be like, I need to
do this so that I'm beautiful. I need to do
this so that I look better, that my skin doesn't age,

(16:13):
And you're like, we can't be doing there. And then plus,
if you've got like a young young kid, and then
I've got super sensitive skin, which they often do. Even
the like mild stuff like Elavira or whatever, it can
still be like really irritating. So yeah, she's got thirty
five million followers on Instagram and if you look at
her face you can see why.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
But I think people are just like.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
Can you not target our children for your skincare? Brains?
Flesh One and Hailey joined in the studio by our
favorite person, John Campbell.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
Hello, favorite person in the studio now other than the
three of.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
John Campbell in the studio friends, I love that. Oh
my god.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
I mean, I don't you know, I don't I need
to state some stuff in advance, like this is how
I dress the beach and I wouldn't go to the
beach if I did.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
What would you eat at the beach club? Well, I
wouldn't go. I wouldn't go to the beach club.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Okay, go to the beach was an I am experience
and I had a good time.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
I've seen the photos. In fact, I've lingered over the photo.
You're all magnificent.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Now, John, tell us about the special. It's out now
on TV and z Plus.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
It's Uber. So I've just looked at Uber.

Speaker 6 (17:39):
So I suspect many of your listeners, many of your wonderful,
insightful and formed and descending listeners, all news Uber all
the time, all.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
The time, all the time. Yeah, it's fantastic. Is incredible.
It's efficient.

Speaker 6 (17:51):
The reason it's sufficient, the reason you never have to
wait longer than two or three or four or five
minutes if you live in a relatively central suburban and
one of our major cities, is because it's about eleven
thousand uber drivers on the road.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Wow, there's not enough work for them.

Speaker 6 (18:02):
Yeah, And so the reason you only have to wait
two or three minutes is that they're just driving around,
waiting and waiting, waiting. So I live in gray Lynd,
I come into town, that's typically if it's not serging
about eleven bucks, the EBB driver is giving me about
six bucks of that. If they've waited ten or fifteen
minutes for the job and then driven five minutes to
my house and then fifteen minutes, ten or fifteen minutes
into town, their hourly rate is way below minimum way
of like waver.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
So I think that's a discussion we need to have.
Do we value labor that cheaply? Because that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
If I catch an uber home that's a sixty five dollars,
I'm like, DAEs are well out of that, not taking
into consideration at all.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Getting back to where the people are.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Totally and we live out, so the chances of him
picking up a ride on the other way.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
Slimton, slimton nun Also, Uber takes sort of twenty eight
thirty percent of that roughly ballpark. And then of course
he or she has to pay the cost of keeping
a car on the road. Acc insurances charging a lot
of them. If you catch a comfort Uber and they've bought,
they've got you get into a press, they've borrowed money
to buy that because they get three dollars extra fear right.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, So it's.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
A really incredible model. It works for the ub user.
It certainly works for Uber. They made four hundred million
dollars revenue in New.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Zealand last year and New Zealand.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
Four hundred million dollars for you, they paid eight hundred
thousand dollars tax.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
So the market is just so pro Uber. But who
else is it pro?

Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (19:20):
And what else is it doing to the worker model?
If we allow people to work for less than the
minimum wage? Then what are we saying about how we
value labor? And what will that eventually mean for everyone
listening to this now?

Speaker 4 (19:31):
Yeah, I never thought about it because I was always
such a fan of Uber because it's so easy and
it takes you anywhere, and it's the app's amazing until
a good friend of mine started doing it as a freelancer
and needed extra money.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
And you would message at the end of some nights.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
And how long did you go?

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Three? Three hours, four hours?

Speaker 4 (19:46):
I lost money from the gas from just circling around
wasting my time for a couple of fifteen dollar rides.
You know, there's no guarantee of money. It is nothing,
no holiday pay, no holiday pay, nothing. And then your
seat belt breaks and now you've got to go and
put one thousand dollars here and d D d dah.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
All of that.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
And then of course four Uber drivers went to the
employment court. I'll keep this really short.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
They won.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
The Employment court said, yes, you've been working in the
nature of a permanent relationship with Eber, so you are
an employee, not a contractor. Uber appealed that to the
appeal court. The drivers went again at the appeal court.
It's now before the Supreme Court. So in fact, actually
the courts are saying this is an employment relationship. You're
not contractors. Yea the year fifty hours a week, that's employment.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
It's not a contract.

Speaker 6 (20:26):
But now Brook Van Velden the workplace. The Relations Minister
is rewriting the legislation to get around that.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
So these are big issues.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Yeah, but do you think that Uber is so bad
that they just wouldn't even care because they'll just like
get rid of you if you don't want to do
Uber anymore because another thousand people one hundred percent because
it's it's it's easy, not easy. It's not an easy job,
but you can do it, you know, if you need
extramegy skills, We've got a car I can drive, so

(20:55):
that they don't need you. They don't need to care
about their employees.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yes, no, they don't.

Speaker 6 (20:59):
They need a certain amount of dri is because no
one will use in that you have to wait too long.
But that's that's what they need.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
But what is the solution?

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Is it a new app that's a new Zealand base
that gives the drivers more and more money.

Speaker 6 (21:12):
Yeah, and then questions only questions fletch. So that's so
that's the Hailey, Fletcher and Vorner app. Right. Yeah, and
you guys are paying your driver's minimum wage, which means
my fearing from Grayland is an eleven bucks. It's eighteen bucks?
Am I going to use it so, yet it kind
of comes back to us, and you know, this is
a middle aged dute, it has an immensely privileged life, saying, hey,
we should be paying more for this. A lot of

(21:33):
your listeners won't be able to afford to pay more
for that, but those of us who can should And also,
what is the government doing about protecting workers? Do we
want a significant workforce earning less than minimum wage a
lot of the time?

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Do we want that?

Speaker 4 (21:45):
So when your special, do you feel like you land
on any answers or any like or are you just
looking into it?

Speaker 6 (21:50):
No, it's hard to land on answers now, Yeah, of
course the question what do we do it?

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, if you can afford to your tip? Yeah, if
you can afford to, does all the tip go to
the driver or the uber take a cut of that too?
It's a really weird one.

Speaker 6 (22:04):
So I tip five bucks every time and always say
to the driver, show me what you got, and they
get foured on twenty five even though it's one hundred
percent of your tip goes to the driver.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
So it really it feels like it's a tip.

Speaker 6 (22:13):
Yeah, it feels like GST is coming out. I can't
get anyone to explain what's happening here. But they get
more of the tip than they.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Do of the fear.

Speaker 6 (22:19):
Right, okay, right, So I don't think ubers cream any
of the tip. I don't think we have that money's
going it's not going to.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yeah right, yeah right.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
I mean all this would be solved because New Zealand
has such a fantastic public transport. Want to be nice
if we could just rely on that, yeah, I guess.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
One half a yeah, yeah, where.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
We don't have a public transport to alleviate the stress
on this, and we're just going to make it harder
for these people to function to provide the transport situation.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
I'm glad you're.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Looking into it, John.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
It just feels like another one of those issues that
it's like because it serves us and we enjoy it
that we sometimes can put blinkers like a lot of things.
Then session recycling.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
We're not going back to taxis because they were, they
were taking advantage of us, but way too long in
the past.

Speaker 6 (23:08):
I remember when I first caught an uber and it
was like half the taxi fair and I remember feeling
really pissed off. The taxi companies had been ripping the how.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Many times we would come back from the airport and
you know, work was paying for a taxi and it
would be one hundred and twenty bucks.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Or one hundred bucks.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
That night we went out and I will say I'd
had a few too many dregs and dumb Hatley just
was there was a taxi old just get in. It
was one hundred and seventy seven dollars home.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
One hundred and seventy seven dollars.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
That was only quite far out with but I think.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
It was Alie. It was a silage.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
It was a seven bars.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
I'll tell you what if you ever want to left
to one hundred and twenty.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
Okay, you know he's going to turn up in a suit.

Speaker 3 (23:57):

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Which is nice but not life changing.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
It's so close to the power ball. Any one came.

got all sex. But then they had the wrong power,
the wrong power for all sex of them. So it's

the seat right forward, a couple of blocks on the pedals,

passenger princess.

your squib, here's here's your costume, here's outfit.

Speaker 8 (41:24):
All right, get into this hotel room.

Speaker 7 (41:26):
Three days, yeah, three days of confinement in your hotel room.

Speaker 8 (41:32):
You can't see the time. Meal times are random.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Kind of like a game, Like the game is already on, yeah,
like covid em cue, Yeah, you can't leave your hotel room,
no thanks, every now and then you.

Speaker 7 (41:44):
Go for a meal though, it's just four hundred and
fifty six crazy Americans, and everyone's like.

Speaker 8 (41:49):
Do you think I did so much excitement?

Speaker 2 (41:51):
Do you think they did that to kind of make
it so that when you did appear on the show,
you were just itching to get out there.

Speaker 7 (41:58):
And itching, and they didn't want you forming alliances or
like getting keeps.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Comfortable with making friends with people. Yeah, okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
So then you walk into this ginormous warehouse, like, what
are the sets like?

Speaker 7 (42:09):
Because that's the set is so incredible. I thought there'd
be like the fake wall with all of the camera
crew in that.

Speaker 8 (42:16):
It is so immersive.

Speaker 7 (42:18):
And the one thing they told us is you're going
to do red light green light for the first game.
So we're all waiting in anticipation. They're like, all right,
go down this tunnel, it's game on. In the hotel room,
I've been doing half hour squats and trying to see
what position I could sit in for that long go
in and you're in the dorms and you're like what
And it was just fully immersive, incredible, just insane.

Speaker 8 (42:41):
The energy was wild.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
What I loved about the reality TV show version was
the that they honored the shooting and the blood spurts.

Speaker 8 (42:52):
The squab pecks they call it. Yep, we're getting.

Speaker 4 (42:56):
Installed in you so that when you I mean, don't
tell me because we don't want to if you die
or not because on the one then.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
But does everybody get a blood pack for that first round?

Speaker 3 (43:04):
Like you don't know everyone? Yeah, okay, we'll see the.

Speaker 8 (43:07):
Awkward little box and some of the shots. Everyone squibbed up.
Everyone's micd up.

Speaker 7 (43:13):
Can't imagine how many editors are watching four hundred and
fifty six people and deciding what's the interesting bit, that's.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
The crazy bit about it.

Speaker 4 (43:20):
Yeah, it's editing of it happening in the moment.

Speaker 8 (43:24):
Yeah yeah, all.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
So they've just literally paid for so many of these
people to fly all the way around the world and
then they're.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Shooting them and they're sending them home.

Speaker 7 (43:32):
I mean, well, I'll just tell you what happened, right,
because the four episodes are out.

Speaker 8 (43:36):
Did you see in the first game? Are we like
to talk about it.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
Yeah, of course we can.

Speaker 7 (43:41):
That first game they wipe out half the contestants in
one go.

Speaker 8 (43:45):
Yeah, and they had no part to plan it.

Speaker 7 (43:47):
It was just who can count to four hundred and
fifty six seconds?

Speaker 8 (43:51):
Your time starts?

Speaker 7 (43:52):
Now, do you imagine two hundred people like.

Speaker 8 (43:56):
Fifty six seconds?

Speaker 7 (43:57):
It was absolutely crazy and our guy, this guy goes, yo,
I'm a musician.

Speaker 8 (44:03):
I can definitely do this.

Speaker 7 (44:04):
There's a Pink Floyd song that's sixty bats per minute
and he just starts going. We're all We're like, yep,
he'll do it, let's trust him. He starts just grooving
away and he's just going and I'm like, he's got this.
He's absolutely got this. He just was in the zone
and he got it. He got it by two seconds.

(44:26):
The opponent got it twelve seconds off. They dropped this
big screen to see the other competitors and we're all
like throwing up this X, like yes xxx, and they
looked kind of sad.

Speaker 8 (44:37):
And then you just see put all of the big
packs go off and we were like, oh my.

Speaker 7 (44:44):
God, no sporting event, no Cricket World Cup final, nothing
has ever had me that get up.

Speaker 8 (44:50):
Like we were on the edge of our it was amazing.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
Were you surprised because it's like not real, but like
they make it so it's all feels real. Were you
surprised how into it you got?

Speaker 8 (45:04):
Yeah, but but it is real.

Speaker 7 (45:07):
Zealand dollars, Like you're like, come on, bro, count to
four hundred and fifty six. But even the you had
to choose do you want to be on the red
side or the blue side. I went across to the
blue side. They're like, quickly, get into your groups. These
my mates pulled me across to the blue side, and
I was like, oh, it feels so icky here. I
don't want to be here. And then stuff came out
and they're like, yeah, that's it. You're split into two.

(45:28):
And I was like, I need to get on the
other side. I just feel so bad in my gut.
And they're like, oh, hey, guys, we've got an issue.
We need fifteen guys and nine girls to come over
to the other side of the I'm going.

Speaker 8 (45:37):
I'm going, And I jumped up and I.

Speaker 7 (45:39):
Argued with these people and I got to go back
to the red side, and that was the team that
won the first game.

Speaker 8 (45:44):
And I pulled my American.

Speaker 7 (45:46):
Girl mates with me and then they went on to
go even further and first.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Like people hooking up on the banks, but us, you.

Speaker 4 (45:55):
Know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (45:56):
They had protection available should you want to get down,
and eighty cameras looking at you.

Speaker 8 (46:05):
The rel likes to get frisky. But I was like,
that's that's a bold move. Do I really want that
fifteen seconds of fame?

Speaker 4 (46:12):
Now, Chris?

Speaker 3 (46:13):
Can we quickly touch on?

Speaker 4 (46:15):
So five years ago, well six years ago. Part of
what's made you such a confident person, that made you
feel like you can tackle anything, is that you were
kidnapped in Tanzania and told give us everything you've got
or you're going to be dead. Yeah, yeah, okay, just
give us a quick rundown of what happened.

Speaker 7 (46:37):
Well, we've been me and my partner Tiffany went on
this big oe for nine months. Yeah, we've been using
we've been using Uber and Grab taxis that have been
all good. Meet this friendly guy at a museum and
he's like, Hey, I know you're going to use Grab,
but I'm.

Speaker 8 (46:51):
Just starting a taxi business. Could you support me instead?

Speaker 3 (46:54):
I was.

Speaker 7 (46:55):
Okay, all right, think of everyone chance, Yeah, why not?
Then we go into this taxi it's you know, it's
got taxi stickers on it.

Speaker 8 (47:05):
All good jumping it by the way.

Speaker 7 (47:08):
Yeah, next thing, you know, flies down a dusty road,
the doors fly open, two men jump on me, get
me in a headlock. I go into jiu jitsu mode.
Just that just weird flight or fright, I guess, and
I'm just like, oh, yeah, no, nice, try and grab him,
kick them out, kick out another dude. There's about six
people around the car, just shoving people into the back

(47:29):
of it. Then they've got my partner tip and the headlock,
and yeah, it's very scary from them.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Yeah, oh my god. We survived and what gave them
some money?

Speaker 8 (47:43):
They rinsed us.

Speaker 7 (47:44):
There was a whole gang involved that drive from eighteen
to eighty and they're like, tell me the correct number
or you're gone.

Speaker 8 (47:50):
She's gone to.

Speaker 4 (47:51):
The five grand and your phones.

Speaker 7 (47:55):
Yep, and enough money to leave the country because they
know where you're going. And I think that, yeah, the
accommodation let them know what was happening.

Speaker 8 (48:03):
It seemed like.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
They knew everyone's in on it. So yeah, you're just like, well,

controversial about it delicious and way and pizza, but somethings
personal breath.

a little break before. We're in Auckland. Seven days. Live
to Auckland this Friday to Saturday.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Going to be fun.

Speaker 4 (52:39):
We're not doing New Plumbouth No, because that's why we're
in Rhade of Vegas, because that New Plumber Theater is
under construction at the moment, So I just going to
one of my favorite spots.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
But yeah, you mean we've got a lot of warm
memorial halls you could have used, but don't worry about it.

Speaker 4 (52:55):
Then, Yeah, it feels like it's We could have looked around.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
Center City food call that would think outside the box.

Speaker 4 (53:04):
Here people kind of propped up with the lin line
avoided the art. It's lazy, and I apologize next year.
Yesterday flew home from in the cargo in the cogo
was so much fun. I love it down there. I
genuinely love it down there. And we told them when
we came out, We're like, we love being in a Vicago.
They laughed. I don't think they think we were being serious, right,
great time. Caught a flight home yesterday to our flight

(53:27):
landed in Auckland and there was a big group of us,
quite a bit of baggage and like some signage and
stuff that we're heading back to the main office where
a lot of us had parked our cars and I
was getting picked up.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
So we were looking for a.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
Van, you know, a taxi van couldn't get couldn't fit
in an uber, so Ubers went on the on the
carts and then couldn't find the right taxi band, so
we had to split between two taxis. Okay, one group
in one taxi, me and Josh Thompson, friend of the show,
and another taxi. I will say the guy opened his
boot and he sort of hefed the bags and quite roughly,

(53:58):
and I was like, he's he's got a chew. I'll
give him that.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
We get him in the back of the car and
we pull out and immediately.

Speaker 4 (54:04):
I go, oh, oh gosh, this guy is I don't
know if you want maybe wants to get home early.
Maybe he wants to get home.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
Because he was in a hurry far out right. We didn't
feel like you were inconveniencing him.

Speaker 4 (54:20):
In fact, yeah, like what are you doing in my car?

Speaker 3 (54:25):
He or you're a taxi? Yesterday I had the worst
taxi ride I've ever had in my life. Wow, Now
does this include overseas taxis?

Speaker 4 (54:33):
Because really, and I was in a crash and a
black and one of London taxis.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Really and he got.

Speaker 4 (54:39):
Outside bloody and swearing and stuff.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
This was worse.

Speaker 4 (54:44):
This guy like was so if there was a car
in front of us that was definitely going one hundred
kilometers on the motorway and this guy was almost nose
tapping him and was god of going like right up
the Then I hear like he's flicking his life. I
was like, this is aggressive man. Then he does like

(55:05):
the lane next to us, the slower lane clears and
he does like a full swerve out, looks over like
raises his fist that the other guy swerves back, and
at which point I see him hit one hundred and
twenty five kilometers an hour.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
On the Southwestern Motorway. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:21):
So just from the airport, yeah, heading northwest, yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:25):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
Well now this is before the tunnel, yes, yes, yes, yeah,
before the tunnel.

Speaker 4 (55:31):
One hundred and twenty five kilometers an hour.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
Wow, Okay, that's flying on that.

Speaker 4 (55:34):
I do that thing where I'm like I've braced the
arm thing at the back.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:39):
I At one point I grabbed Josh Thompson's shoulder and
just like squeezed tightly and he just looks at me like.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
One of my favorite and funniest things you'll ever witnesses
Josh Thompson in a panic. It's the stuff of pure
like laughs.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
He kept doing the classic tom of noois and I
like it being like Jesus. Oh, so you guys were
vocalizing yeah, a little.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
Bit oblivious, and I was like, okay, it luckily gets
blocked by another car who retail gates mercilessly. Yeah, but
it means that we can no longer go one hundred
and twenty fivekilometers an hour and a one hundred, so
this is good. But at that point is when he
put one hand on the wheel and then he reaches
down and starts like there's another phone on the passenger

(56:27):
seat and he starts like typing away on it. Oh,
now there's a period of time in which we're going
at one hundred and he hasn't looked at the road
for some time.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
So this is the moment.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
You know, they do that in movies sometimes, like he's
not even looking at the road, but then that they're
filming that on a trailer and they're not actually drying.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
We're not on a trailer which we are driving at
one hundreds an hour.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
This guy is sending.

Speaker 4 (56:49):
An email I see on why email type tape tape.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
So I just like going no.

Speaker 4 (56:54):
No, no, no no no no no no no no
no no, And I said, sorry, would you mind concentrating
on the road and he was like, I just was
like you actually, I know, I worked up the courage
and then he said I like that, and and then
we overtake again.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
That yeah.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
Then we hit the Waterview tunnel which lowers down to
eighty and his cameras it does that, you know, the
testing the entry and exit speed.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
It's just a speed camera. At the start. Well, well,
I don't know how much he's paying tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (57:33):
He starts tooting at the person who has slow to eighty.
So he overtakes in the left lane and we fang
it through the tunnel.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
I was just like for deer.

Speaker 4 (57:44):
It was madness. And then he gets a text and
same thing. He's got like three phones on the go
by the way, texting in the front, not looking. It
was harrowing. And then we get finally to the destination,
which is grad I praise be.

Speaker 3 (58:02):
We get them of clarity. She saw. Yeah, he now
believes in Jesus.

Speaker 4 (58:07):
And the producer who's paying for the TEXTI writers in
the second taxi. So we're like, we're gonna have to wait.
And in my head I was like, we have gone so.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Fast, they're going to be twenty minutes back. So far behind.

Speaker 4 (58:20):
We pull in. The other taxi pulls them behind, and
I was like, how is that possible? And then I
see the producers and whoever it was who alse was
getting up poor Leger get out and they they have
white faces, and I was like, what happened? They were
like our guy was the worst driver ever, and I
was like, no way, and he said, I reckon. He

(58:40):
was trying to chase your guy, knowing that they were together.
So these two taxis would have just been nice.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
The first driving as he is wont to do it,
and the other person's like, I've got to follow him
the lead can't because they won't.

Speaker 4 (58:53):
Because we won group.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Did they have the ID?

Speaker 4 (58:57):
Oh listen, I took a photo of the number plane
and I d and I think I'm gonna make a complaint.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
Yeah, I feel like you do.

Speaker 4 (59:04):
I'm like, if I was not who I was in
sid hey, can you concern the road?

Speaker 3 (59:09):
Yeah? You know, like you've got to speak up. Wow,
that's okay.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
They had a similar situation once and they were wondering
why the text drivers on the.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
Phone so much. She was also dropping drugs offer in
the city.

Speaker 4 (59:19):
Oh okay, yeah, we've got a dealer on our hands. Yeah,
it's got a little detoy.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
Need to drop off or something.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
And then he's running back of the carving like.

Speaker 4 (59:34):
Oh my god, it was absolutely terrible, but I'm here.
You're here, and it's giving me a zist for life.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
And that's why you've hung up your Live Life Love poster.

Speaker 4 (59:43):
Yes, out of James kindly left behind that you snuck
into my home Love Love Laugh is up.

Speaker 8 (59:49):
On the walls.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
Out of the garage plays Flitch.

Speaker 3 (59:54):
For absolutely stoked about this. I think this is a
good idea.

Speaker 4 (59:57):
However, hard to obtain a New Zealand ski straw. Don't
get excited worn. There's not a straw that sort of.

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
Whiskey the whiskey.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
The whiskey strawer. It is a metal straw that has,
you know, your little mouthbit that you would like a
reusable It bends down and it goes down, down, down,
and at the bottom of the straw is a whisk,
a small whisk that you could use to shake up
your marcher or.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
Your remix remax something. Sometimes if you taste being split
and separate.

Speaker 4 (01:00:32):
Like when you get a freshly squeeze juice and the
water and the pulp kind of separate, any frozen drink,
any frozen.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
That it gets the lumpy.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
Yes, So it's called the whisky straw. It was on
one of those like Shark Tank esque shows called by
It Now, which I haven't heard of. But it's basically
like you know, they say, lemonade, coffee, chocolate, milk, powder,
drink smoothies, protein shakes. Perfect wist concept. Wis concept yep,
but it's like thirty American dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
This is actually a great idea, guys. All I'm going
to need is a middle straw. I've got some wire
and harmoni. Okay, Okay, I.

Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
Could make us This is what I thought, because you know,
it like came out in it they've got all the
mini wesks like I've got a lot of many tongs,
but they have many whisks as well, so you just
wouldn't need the attachment.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
But I think we could just spot weld it straight
to the straw. Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:01:27):
So the straw bit goes right down to the bottom,
and then the whiskers like around it, so you're welding
the whisk to the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
I put the the bottom of the whisk.

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
It's a whiskey.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
It's a whiskey, but why not just have a tiny
many West what you made of hands? So I've what
am I holding a straw mount the glass and one
hand in the whisk is the other whisky and the.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
Stirring and drinking with three whatever? Yeah? What a what
are you for you to talk about this?

Speaker 8 (01:01:55):
But not me?

Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
Not me too precious hands? You know this would be
great for the ninja slush cheese.

Speaker 4 (01:02:00):
Oh, I know, because sometimes the frozen drinks it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Doesn't it do its own slushy lash.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
You take it too long to drink your drinks.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
Yes, that's but when you do, when you sit on
a slash, the ice goes to the bottom and then
the thing that is drink too fast.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
You drink the flavor first of a slushy. And yeah,
that's a great idea.

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
That's so good. I just I just searched.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
On kmart and nobody's they don't have a imitation because
you know, normally the cheap imitation a jube. But nobody,
nobody's dup. They meet the person who works for kmart. Yeah,
who's I'm getting on the internet a lot just looking
at the thing that's about to pop off like this
whisk straw.

Speaker 3 (01:02:38):
What would be okay, do it boom on the phone.

Speaker 4 (01:02:41):
Yeah, hello Chinese, we're heating up our hair with air.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
Now there's an ear wrap. I got one twelve thousand
whisky makers.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
Would you Would you want the pressure of that job, though,
because what if you ordered something and like nobody liked it,
and then let's move some units like the.

Speaker 4 (01:03:00):
Came the dip thing, the dip hold of the nugget
dip hold in the cart.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
I'd send it to a couple of influences and be like,
I remember, you tell everybody how cool this is. Cost
me five cents to make it, and I'm sitting out
for twelve dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
Welcome to revolution, they say.

Speaker 4 (01:03:15):
But yeah, if you get a travel bag, because this
is you put in your handbag or whatever. And then
when you go get your marcher for the day, you
get a whisky straw. It's for the whiskey straw and
a traveler bag to get it from the States. And
then this is you know, still going to ship its
forty five US dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
Yeah, so you better just to sellotape a mini west to.

Speaker 4 (01:03:35):
We are better to get sellotape in our hot beverages. Yeah, full, okay, okay, okay, okay,
because I'm looking at the whiskey straw, the beta, the
beta off of a beta off of a beta off
of the mixer hand mixed.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
No you need but you need the whisk attachment for
the electric beta and then you just yeah, wowed the
straw beside.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
It's a great invention. It's really great. Okay, you make
one of me? Can you make it?

Inventing a straw with we're out of here?

Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
So what do you have to do?

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
So we have an inventor that we're literally wrapping off
someone's idea telling everybody.

Speaker 4 (01:04:30):

air fair call Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
Stay tuned for for.

Speaker 4 (01:04:38):
Whiskey Business by fletch For and Hailey play Ms.

Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
Fletchborne and Hailey play z MS Fletchborne and Haley. Fact
of the day, day day day day, Yeah, dude, Landmark

(01:05:04):
week in fact the day famous buildings flocked to sea
around the world. And today we're looking at the Statue
of Liberty. Lady Liberty, bring us your sick, bring us
your poor. Not now, No, that's basically what they've changed the.

Speaker 4 (01:05:17):
Inscription on oh except now dot dot dog.

Speaker 3 (01:05:22):
Poor people signed Donald J.

Speaker 8 (01:05:25):
Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
So originally the Statue of Liberty design was not meant
for New York, not meant to welcome immigrants to New York.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
The French.

Speaker 4 (01:05:36):
The French.

Speaker 3 (01:05:36):
Yeah, and they put it on a boat, didn't they.

Speaker 4 (01:05:38):
And it's some amazing like old old photos of her head.

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
Yeah, and like it as well.

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
The Farmer Center's slightly more impressive than the old Farmer Center.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
He was he is our statue of Liberty.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
He's just lying dead at some woner toy museum museum.

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
Yeah. Well, the original idea for.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
The Statue of Liberty, the creator Fredrichtholi, first envisaged this
colossal woman at the mouth of the Suez Canal in Egypt.
Oh okay, obviously she wouldn't have been wearing the crown
and sort of western garb. She was to be a
robed woman holding a torture loft standing at the northern
entrance of the Suez Canal, and a peasants robe and

(01:06:23):
a headscarf, far more Middle Eastern style. When he first
conceptualized it, Egypt was undergoing a massive modernization. This was
in the eighteen hundreds, the Suez Canal was being built.
They borrowed heavily from European banks. The French will act,
we'll get in an chapin, but I'll build the square,
but you're paying. You're paying for it, Yeah, basically, and

(01:06:43):
we own you the time, super super cane to do it.
But then just couldn't make it work financially. But BARTHOLDI
had designed it sort of had this massive design, had
done some engineering work on it, and had even talked
to Gustaf Eiffel.

Speaker 4 (01:07:00):
Gustaf Eifle of Lituri Fell River tower tower, the Eiffel River,
the world famous Eiffel where everyone.

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
Got any engineered.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
So then it just got kind of put on it
in the corner and set it together us the designs
that it had done. Years later, there was a French
anti monarchist political politician and the who wanted to make
the relationship between America and France stronger, as they both
had a little bit of an eck going towards the UK, right,

(01:07:32):
so both, like you know, had their issues, shall we
say uh? And so BARTHOLDI remembered the Egyptian concept, repurposed
it and made it lady in liberty, put a crown
on her head, made her a little more western, and
the Roman the Roman robe and the crown of seven spikes,
and back into the picturepo Gustaf Eiffel who did it.

(01:07:54):
So the French people actually paid for the statue. There
was public donations, lotteries and fundraising events. All the Brigans
had to do was build a pedestal that oh yeah,
it's stood on out there on Alice Island, which cost
you know, in the millions of dollars in modern money,
but back in the day it was two hundred and
fifty thousand US. And they were struggling to do it,
and they're like, we're not going to be able to
have your lovely gift until Joseph Pulitzer of Pulitzer Prime

(01:08:17):
Price fame launched a public campaign and said your name
will be on this if you donate, no matter how small,
and everyone loved the idea of their name being somewhere
on the Statue of Liberty, so they raised the money
and up she went in eighteen eighty six.

Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
And was actually a working lighthouse. Oh crown and the
heads and the torch. That made way more sense.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
It wasn't deed a light, but it was. It was
ineffective because they couldn't like install.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
The mirror system. That need to get it further out
and change the light bulb was and.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
How many people does it take a change the Liberty
massive bot pro tepe as well if you do when
our trip to the iHeart ready to jingle ball soon
within his own pro tap. You don't need to pay
for an expensive cruise, you just get the staten Island
Fury returned for free and.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Again you can see it, yeah, you don straight past it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
Well, I mean it's not as you don't get as
up close as a cruise and you don't get to
go on the island, but it's free.

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
Get a photo.

Speaker 8 (01:09:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
So the face of the Statue of Liberty was named
was based off bled His mother parent is a real
mummies boy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
Oh yeah, mum's hot. It's weird.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
He just decides to build you know who statue to
his mummy. Yeah, I love my mummy.

Speaker 4 (01:09:33):
She's not preshy. I'd say, Oh, she's quite a handsome woman, right,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:09:38):
Like, but that's the thing. Back in the day, the
Mengas were the hot one. Yeah, I know, And now
it's flipped.

Speaker 4 (01:09:45):
Because I'm an old school maga.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
Yeah yeah, right, yeah, right, if you go back to
eighteen hundreds, you would have actually been so hot. Yeah,
I'm in the wrong, bloody crick Yeah, I mean, if
you've got to drive machine.

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
He went back and all the guys are like.

Speaker 4 (01:10:00):
Yeah, what the hell is that?

Speaker 3 (01:10:02):
What's that?

Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
What's all that? What's there?

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
Yeah? Okay, Well they could have modeled off Haley's face
in Statue of It would have been a straight tin.

Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
In eighteen hundred ten.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
