It's been Fleashborne and Hailey.

When did I When did I burn off my last
round of warts?

It was with my at home kit that I still
have a.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Scar from that one.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
Yeah, yeah, right, because I really pressed down and spread
the sort of cold what is it you're always sort
of liquid nights?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah? I always follow directions.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Yeah, I pushed down too hard, too long to really
burn it off, and I think, yeah, I've got I
had a scar there. Well, if you look down from
the scar where the wart was burnt off.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
New waterlet.

Speaker 6 (02:48):

more warped prone than others.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
I don't know how it works. Are they contagious? Squeeze
your warp onto me? Would I get it?

Speaker 2 (03:03):
You get it of my water? Chose? Well, you don't
touch that and touch the light switches more. It's contagious.
They're not in an extreme or instant way.

cold saw or something.

Speaker 2 (03:14):

to the body.

and then I saw another one on the other knee,
sort of oppositely.

Have you've been sharing razors, towels or socks with people? No, okay,
keep them covered with the waterproof bandage. If you swim
and go to the gym, please.

your hands after touching any water.

bathroom after the spring. Well, know, why do you got
them again? You keep touching. I am very touchy.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
I spread a whole in fiction around my face quite
famously last month. So I now I'm like, what do
I do? Do I go to the doctor this time
to get the doctor to burn them off, because the
doctor's better. I did the at home kurt last time,
and man, I absolutely sizzled the skin.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
But I think you, like you said, you press too long.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
And then it just like spread and spread and spread.
It's pretty gross.

Do you live in a warm, damp place.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
You just look Auckland, I said, some people more prone
to warts than others. Yes, people are definitely more prone
to warts than others. The difference comes down to how

Speaker 5 (13:11):
Hailey Okay, there is uh, 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 3 (13:29):
Oh yeah, okay, okay, Yeah, she's a bit of you,
isn't she worn. She's a Canadian actress and entrepreneur.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
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 like huge top top souf stuff. We love
the Korean skincare. This skincare is called children basically because

(14:02):
it's for toddlers, for little baby.

Speaker 6 (14:06):
Oh we're talking like we're talking child skin care.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
We're talking toddler widow. We're not talking.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
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 sell the skincare. And everyone was like,
please don't put retinol on your face, you're gonna burn
it off. 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

(14:36):
started with three face masks.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Okay, that we can put on skin. Imagine a four
year old with a face mask.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
They're calling them gyper alergenic 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
like star like, Yeah, just put some lock.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
On your kid. They don't need anything else. You could
argue that you could just do that for adults as well.
You don't need any a you're gonna put anything on.
Some block in the nets.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, I think you could probably speak to burning off
half your face last month.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
Someone that's had has children and continues to have you
got some block on.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
It's also what we say to if we have some
block off. Yeah, you very noughty. You guys got sunscreen on?

Speaker 4 (15:29):
I got I got my still got my Barley ten
a little bit.

Speaker 6 (15:33):
You would still if you put sunscreen, I'll see Vaughn's translucent, Like.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, we've gone and got a little bit of color
on the arms. Oh yeah, from Barley for sure.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
But I that's on my face every single day though,
even through winter.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
Some block is a mask for me. And that's why
I incredible.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
But people were outraged that this is even a thing.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
So dermatologis 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 psychologically
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.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Gonna be like, I need to do this so that
I'm beautiful.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
I need to do this so that I look better,
that my skin doesn't age, And you're like, we can't
be doing there. And then plus, if you've got like
a young, young kid and then they'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

(16:35):
and if you look at her face you can see why.
But I think people are just like, can you not
target our children for your skincare?

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Brain flesh?

Speaker 6 (16:44):
One and Haley joined in the studio by our favorite person,
John Campbell.

Speaker 7 (16:48):
Hello, favorite person in the studio now other than the
three genuine John Campbell four.

Speaker 6 (16:57):
In the studio, come to Barley with that's next someone
our genie friends.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
I love that.

Speaker 7 (17:04):
I mean, I don't you know, I don't I need
to state some stuff in advance, like this is how
I dress.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
The beach.

Speaker 7 (17:13):
I mean I wouldn't go to the beach if I did.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
What would you wet at the beach club? Well, I
wouldn't go. I wouldn't go to the beach club. Okay,
go to the beach an I am experience and I'm
not a good time.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
Hand.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I've seen the photos. In fact, I've lingered over the photo.
You're all magnificent.

Speaker 6 (17:37):
Now, John tell us about the special. It's out now
on TV and Z Plus.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
It's Uber. So I've just looked at Uber.

Speaker 7 (17:42):
So I suspect many of your listeners, many of your wonderful,
insightful and formed and descending listeners, all Newsuber all the time, all.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
The time, all the time. Yeah, it's fantastic. Is incredible.
It's efficient.

Speaker 7 (17:54):
The reason it's efficient, 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. One
of our majors is because it's about eleven thousand uber
drivers on the road. Wow, there's not enough work for them. Yeah,
And so the reason you don't 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 getting about six bucks

(18:15):
of that.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
If they've waited ten.

Speaker 7 (18:17):
Or fifteen minutes for the job and then driven five
minutes to my house and then fifteen minutes, ten or
fifty minutes into town, their hourly rate is way below
minimum way of like waver.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
So I think that's a discussion we need to have.
Do we value labor that cheaply? Because that's the thing.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
If I catch an uber home that's a sixty five
dollars and I'm like, DAEs are well out of that,
not taking into consideration at all.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Getting back to where the people are.

Speaker 5 (18:40):
Totally and we live out, so the chances of him
picking up a ride on the other way.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Slimton Clinton Nut.

Speaker 7 (18:45):
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 Ober and they've they've got you
get into a pres they've borrowed money to buy that
because they get three dollars extra fair.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Right, Yeah, So it's a really incredible model.

Speaker 7 (19:07):
It works for the Ubi user. It certainly works for Uber.
They made four hundred million dollars revenue in New Zealand
last year and New Zealand four hundred million dollars for
rem you they paid eight hundred thousand dollars tax.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
So the market is just so pro Uber. But who
else is it pro?

Speaker 8 (19:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:22):
And what else is it doing to the worker model?
If we allow people to work.

Speaker 7 (19:26):
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 5 (19:34):
Yeah, I never thought about it because I was always
such a fan of Uber because it's goods 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, needed extra money, and you would message at
the end of some nights and how long did you go?

Speaker 8 (19:47):
Three?

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Three hours, four hours?

Speaker 5 (19:49):
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 there's nothing,
no holiday, pay, no s not hold they pay no nothing.
And then your seat about breaks and now you're going
to go and put one thousand dollars here and da
da da dah.

Speaker 7 (20:04):
All of that. And then of course four Uber drivers
went to the employment court. I'll keep this really short.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
They won.

Speaker 7 (20:09):
The Employment court said, yes, you've been working in the
nature of a permanent relationship with Uber, 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. Yeah, the year, fifty hours a week, that's employment.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's not a contract.

Speaker 7 (20:29):
But now Brook Van Velden the workplace. The Relations Minister
is rewriting the legislation to get around that.

Speaker 9 (20:35):
These are big issues.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
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 on one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Because it's it's it's easy, not easy.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
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 that they don't need you.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
They don't need to care about their employees.

Speaker 7 (21:01):
Yes, no, they don't. They need a certain amount of
drivers because no one will use in that we have
to wait too long. But that's that's what they need.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
But what is the solution is a new app that's
a new Zealand base that gives the drivers more and
more money.

Speaker 7 (21:14):
Yeah, and then questions only question is Fletch. So that's
so that's the Hailey, Fletch 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.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
It's eighteen bucks? Am I going to use it?

Speaker 7 (21:27):
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 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 2 (21:47):
Do we want that?

Speaker 5 (21:48):
So, when you're special, do you feel like you land
on any answers or any like or are you just
looking into it?

Speaker 7 (21:53):
No, it's hard to land on answers now, Yeah, of
course the question what do we do it? Yeah, if
you can afford to, you tip, yeah, if you can
afford to.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Because all the tip go to the driver or take
a cut of that top. It's a really weird one.

Speaker 7 (22:07):
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 2 (22:14):
It's really it feels like it's a test.

Speaker 7 (22:15):
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 do.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Of the fear, right, okay, right, wow, So I.

Speaker 7 (22:24):
Don't think Uber's cream any of the tip. I don't
think where that money's going. It's not going to.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah right, yeah right.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
I mean all this would be solved because New Zealand
has such a fantastic public transport.

Speaker 10 (22:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
I want to be nice if we could just rely
on that, Yeah, I guess one half a.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
Yeah, yeah, where 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 2 (22:56):
Huh. I'm glad you're looking into it, John.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
It just feels like another one of those issues that
it's like because it serves us and we enjoy it,
that we're sometimes going to put about blinkers like a
lot of things, and then our session recycling.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
We're not going back to taxis because they were, they
were taking advantage of us, but way too long in
the past.

Speaker 7 (23:11):
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.

Speaker 6 (23:20):
How many times we would come back from the airport
and you know, work was paying for a taxi and.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
It would be one hundred and twenty bucks or one
hundred bucks.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
That night we went out and I will say I'd
had a few too many dregs and dumb Hatley just
was there as a taxi.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Old just get in. It was one hundred and seventy
seven dollars home. One hundred and seventy seven dollars.

Speaker 5 (23:37):
That was only quite far out with But I think.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
It was a silage. It was a silage. It was
a slave bucks. I'll tell you what if you ever
want to left to one hundred and twenty.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
Okay, you know he's going to turn up in a suit.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Out the door for you. Don't worry about it. Reliable.

Speaker 4 (24:04):

my god, I want to get a million dollars. They
won one hundred and sixty six thousand dollars each.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Which is nice but not life changing.

Speaker 6 (24:54):
So close to the power ball, any one came because
it's eight power balls, so that means they have got
all sex. But then they had the wrong power, the
wrong power for all sex of that.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
So it's rolled.

Over to forty five million dollars million on Wednesday. So
and how many of how many of our conversations last
week were consumed with what when we win?

like I just had an online one, and then I
was like, I'm not winning forty worth online.

Speaker 6 (25:26):
Of those five first division when it's only one was
a physical ticket.

just giving animals a place to live. Yeah, that's actually
just what you do now, much bigger scale and much
bigger loss. Yeah, much bigger loss. Yeah, huge losses. But

It's too much money for one person. No, it's nice.
It's too much money for one that's absurd. You couldn't
do that for one person.

billionaire should be taxed any more than anybody else.

met Cafe, your one stop coffee spot to keep the

my parents' marriage. Patsy and Sprowl has become the designated
driver of the relationship.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
The driver.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
Craig has been driver since stage does big driver energy.

was a little slow. Okay, he's conservative, Well so little polos.

(30:32):
Who drives in your relationship? And the options were I
do they do? We alternate?

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Okay? We alternate was the most popular response. God knows
sharing it. Yeah, but sometimes you might not feel like driving.
I always feel like driving.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
Sometimes my mum and dad will arrive at my place
and Mum will be driving and I'll be like, what's

Speaker 6 (31:03):
Sometimes they swap halfway now they say go to the
bathroom and get a drink, take over the driver.

Speaker 2 (31:09):

Thirty six percent of people said they do, and twenty
five percent of people said I do.

Let's get into some responses. Joe Anne says partner is
ranger danger. Apparently his ut is safer than my little Kia. Also,
I have a lead foot, so okay.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
That is the thing. If you're used to a sort
of more sluggish vehicle.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
And then you get behind the wheel of a powerhouse, yeah,
you could be a little abrupt.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yea. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:50):
Things Matiita say is usually I liked her about we

to learn. Oh wow, okay, okay, but Victoria, I've told
him that if I become pregnant later down the line,
in the pregnancy, he will have to start driving again
because I'm a little short of the most in the
bump like it in the way.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
He never drives.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
I mean, you don't want to be sixers and say
the guy always drives, always a taller person always drives.

Speaker 6 (32:20):
No, she said, she's she's a little shorty, she's got
the seat right forward, a couple of blocks on the pedals,
and he's just like recring back like some sort of
passenger princess.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Maybe he's just more of a passenger princess.

Speaker 6 (32:32):
Maybe I'm sick of having to pay speeding fines for her,
so now I drives zalez here.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Why did you have to pay her fine? Yeah, that's
a her fine.

Speaker 6 (32:41):
Interesting, Gabby said me, unless it's long distance, because then
her because I get sleeping.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Oh yeah, the good call. That's a switch changer.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
But also, don't be the person that says you drive
I'm sleeping and go to sleep in the passenger seat
and leave.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
The driver rule by themselves.

Speaker 6 (32:57):
Yeah, that's that's bad.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
That's bad. Shock. Yeh is a terrible need.

Neubes said, I'm a professional driver, so I know my
way around.

it's like you can't be bad at navigating these days,
excuses bits said. My partner says he gets castick when

(33:32):

of tunes and have naps, so it's a win for me.

The front seat. A little little week boy.

Speaker 6 (33:41):

A minute. You're on a flowing to the UK.

Speaker 11 (41:15):
I think they cheaped out because they flew me to
La x first, then another six hour layover, then twelve
hours to the UK. Then get into the hotel room.
Here's your squib, here's your here's your out costume, here's outfit.
All right, get into this hotel room. Three days, three
day squeeze. Yeah, three days of confinement in your hotel room.

(41:35):
You can't see the time. Meal times are random, kind of.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Like a game, Like the games are already on, yeah,
like COVID cue, Yeah, you can't leave your hotel room,
no thanks.

Speaker 11 (41:46):
Every now and then you go for a meal though,
just four hundred and fifty six crazy Americans, and everyone's like,
you did so much excitement.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
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 and.

Speaker 11 (42:01):
Itching, and they didn't want you forming alliances or like
getting keeps comfortable with.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Making friends with people. Yeah, okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
So then you walk into this ginormous warehouse, like, what
are the sets like?

Speaker 11 (42:12):
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. It is so immersive. 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

(42:33):
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 9 (42:43):
The energy was wild.

Speaker 5 (42:45):
What I loved about the reality TV show version was
the that they honored the shooting and the blood spurts.

Speaker 9 (42:55):
The squab packs they call it. Yeah, we're getting.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
Installed in you so that when you, I mean, don't
tell me because we don't want to know if you
die or not because other one.

Speaker 6 (43:03):
Then but does everybody get a blood pack for that
first round?

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Like you don't know everyone?

Speaker 11 (43:08):
Yeah, okay, we'll see the awkward little box and some
of the shots.

Speaker 9 (43:12):
Everyone squabbed up. Everyone's micd up.

Speaker 11 (43:15):
Can't imagine how many editors are watching four hundred and
fifty six people and deciding what's the interesting bit.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
That's the crazy bit about it. Yeah, it's editing of
it happening in the moment.

Speaker 8 (43:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (43:27):
Yeah, all.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
So they've just literally paid for so many of these
people to fly all the way around the world and
then they're shooting them and they're sending them home.

Speaker 11 (43:35):
I mean, well, I'll just tell you what happened, right,
because the four episodes are out.

Speaker 9 (43:39):
Did you see in the first game? Are we like
to talk about it?

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Yeah? Of course we can.

Speaker 11 (43:43):
That first game, they wipe out half the contestants and
one go yeah. And they had no part to plan it.
It was just who can count to four hundred and
fifty six seconds? Your time starts? Now, do you imagine
two hundred people like.

Speaker 9 (43:59):
Fifty six seconds? It was absolutely crazy and our guy,
this guy goes, yo, I'm a musician. I can definitely
do this.

Speaker 11 (44:07):
There's a Pink Floyd song that's sixty bitutes per minute,
and he just starts going.

Speaker 9 (44:11):
Well, We're like, yep, he'll do it, let's trust him.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (44:14):
He starts just grooving away and he's just going and
I'm like, he's got this. He's absolutely got this.

Speaker 11 (44:22):
He just was in the zone and he got it.
He got it by two seconds. 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, and
then you just see apart all.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Of the big PEPs go off and we were like,
oh my god.

Speaker 11 (44:48):
No sporting event, no Cricket World Cup final, nothing has
ever had me that get up like we were on the.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Edge of ours.

Speaker 9 (44:56):
It was amazing.

Speaker 5 (44:57):
Were you surprised because it's like not real, but like
they make it so it's all feels real.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Were you surprised how into it you got?

Speaker 9 (45:07):
Yeah, but but it is real.

Speaker 11 (45:11):
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. And I was like, I need

(45:31):
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 I'm going.

Speaker 9 (45:40):
I'm going.

Speaker 11 (45:40):
And I jumped up and I argued with these people
and I got to go back to the red side.
And that was the team that won the first game,
and I pulled my American girl mates with me, and
then they went on to go even further and first.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Like people hooking up on the banks, but you know
what I mean.

Speaker 9 (45:58):
They had protection available should you want to get down,
and eighty cameras looking at you. You know, THEESEL 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 2 (46:15):
Now, Chris? Can we quickly touch on?

Speaker 5 (46:17):
So five years ago, well six years ago were 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 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 11 (46:40):
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 just starting a taxi business. Could you support
me instead?

Speaker 10 (46:56):
I was.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
All right, we think of.

Speaker 9 (47:02):
Everyone a chance? Yeah, why not?

Speaker 11 (47:04):
Then we go into this taxi it's you know, it's
got taxi stickers on it. All good jumping it.

Speaker 9 (47:10):
By the way.

Speaker 11 (47:11):
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, flat 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

(47:32):
of it. Then they've got my partner, Tiff and the headlock.

Speaker 9 (47:35):
And yeah, it's very scary.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
From then, yeah, oh my god. He survived and what
gave them some money?

Speaker 9 (47:46):
They rinsed us.

Speaker 11 (47:47):
There was a whole gang involved that drive from eighteen
to eight and they're like, tell me the correct number
or you're gone.

Speaker 9 (47:52):
She's gone.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
The five grand and your phones.

Speaker 11 (47:58):
Yep, and enough money to leave the country because they
know where you're going. And I think that, yeah, their accommodation,
let them know what was happening. It seemed like they.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Knew everyone's in on it, so obviously, yeah, you're just like,
well I'll go on, I'll.

Speaker 11 (48:15):
Yeah, sort of a feeling where you're like, oh, I
could just die and that's it. So after that, Yeah,
hashtag goolo. We'll just fucking go for it.

I've been on tour. Got a little break before. We're
in Auckland.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
Seven days. Live to Auckland this Friday to Saturday.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
Going to be fun.

Speaker 5 (52:42):
We're not doing New Plumbouth No, because that's why we're
in rade of Vegas, because that New Plumber Theater is
under construction at the moment, so I go to one
of my favorite spots.

Speaker 6 (52:53):
But yeah, you mean we've got a lot of warm
memorial halls you could have used, but don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Then, yeah, it feels like it's We could have looked
around Center City food Court that would think outside the box.

Speaker 5 (53:06):
Here people 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.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
They laughed. I don't think they think we were being serious, right,
great time.

Speaker 5 (53:27):
Caught a flight home yesterday to our flight landed in
Auckland and there was a big group of us with
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 2 (53:39):
So we were looking for a van, you know, a
taxi van.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
Couldn't get couldn't fit in an uber, so Ubers were
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 would say the
guy opened his boot and he sort of heffed the
bag is then quite roughly, and I was like, he's
gonna he's got to chewt 'll give him that.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Yeah. We get him in the back of the car
and we pull out and immediately I go, oh, oh gosh,
this guy is.

Speaker 5 (54:12):
I don't know if you want maybe wants to get
home early. Maybe he wants to get home because he
was in a hurry far out right. We didn't feel
like you were inconveniencing him.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
In fact, yeah, like what are you doing in my car?
He or you're a taxi?

Speaker 4 (54:30):
Yesterday I had the worst taxi right I've ever had
in my life.

Speaker 6 (54:32):
Wows Now does this include overseas taxis?

Speaker 5 (54:36):
Because really, and I was in a crash and a
black and one of London taxis.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Really and he got.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
Outside bloody and swearing and stuff.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
This was worse.

Speaker 5 (54:46):
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 going of going like right up
the Then I hear like he's flicking his lines, and
I was like, this is aggressive man. Then he does,

(55:07):
like the lane next to us, the slower lane clears and.

Speaker 4 (55:11):
He does like a full swerve out, looks over like
raises his.

Speaker 5 (55:15):
Fist that the other guy swerves back, and at which
point I see him hit one hundred and twenty five
kilometers an hour.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
On the Southwestern Motorway. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (55:24):
So just from the airport, yeah, heading northwest. Yeah yeah, yeah,
well now this is before the tunnel, yes, yes, yes, yeah,
before the tunnel. One hundred and twenty five kilometers an hour. Wow,
that's flying on that.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
I do that thing where I'm like I've braced the
arm thing at the back. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 5 (55:42):
I At one point I grabbed Josh Thompson's shoulder and
just like squeezed tightly and he just looks at me.

Speaker 6 (55:48):
Like one of my favorite and funniest things you'll ever
witnesses Josh Thompson in a panic.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
It's the stuff of pure like laughs.

Speaker 5 (55:59):
He can do it the classic tom anoys, And I
like it being like Jesus. Oh, so you guys were vocalizing, yeah,
a little 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 five kilometers an hour and a one hundred,

(56:20):
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 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 2 (56:37):
So this is the moment.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
You know they do that in movies sometimes, like he's
not even looking at the right but then that they're
filming that on a trailer and they're not actually drying.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
We're not on a trailer. We are driving a one
hundreds an hour. This guy is sending an email I
see on why.

Speaker 5 (56:55):
Type type type, and so I just like going no, no, no,
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 this, and and then
we overtake again.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
That yeah.

Speaker 5 (57:19):
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. It's just a speed camera.
At the start, well, well, I don't know how much
he's paying tomorrow. He starts tooting at the person who
has slow to eighty. So he overtakes in the left

(57:40):
lane and we fang it through the tunnel. I was
just like for dealer, 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.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
It was harrowing.

Speaker 4 (57:59):
And then we get finally to the destination, which is great.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
I was like, praise be.

Speaker 6 (58:05):
We get them of clarity. She saw, Yeah, he now
believes in Jesus.

Speaker 5 (58:10):
And the producer who's paying for the TEXTI writers in
the second taxis. So we're like, we're gonna have to wait,
And in my head I was like, we have gone
so fast, they're going to be twenty minutes back so
far behind.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
We pull in.

Speaker 5 (58:23):
The other taxi pulls the 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
leg to 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 was trying

(58:43):
to chase your guy, knowing that they were together. So
these two taxis would have just been the first driving
as he is wont to do it, and the other
person's like, I've got to follow her the lead.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Can't because they won't because we won group. Did they
have the ID? Oh listen. I took a photo of
the number play and the I D and I think
I'm gonna make a complaint. Yeah, I feel like you do.
I'm like, if I was not who I was in
sid hey, can you concern the road? Yeah? You know,
like you got to speak up? Wow, that's okays.

Speaker 6 (59:16):
They had a similar situation once and they were wondering
why the text drivers on the phone so much.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
She was also dropping drugs offer in the city.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
Oh okay, yeah, we've got a dealer on our hands.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
Yeah, it's got a little detoy need to drop of
some and then he's running out of the car being
like gett oh my god.

Speaker 4 (59:38):
It was absolutely terrible, but I'm here.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
You're here, and it's giving me a zis for life.
And that's why you've hung up your Live Life Love poster.

Speaker 5 (59:46):
Yes, out of James kindly left behind that you snuck
into my home, Love Love Laugh is.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
Up on the walls out of the garage plays Flitch.

Speaker 4 (59:56):
For absolutely stoked about this. I think this is a
good idea.

Speaker 5 (01:00:00):
However, hard to obtain a New Zealand the whiskey straw,
don't get excited worn.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
There is not a straw that sort of.

Speaker 5 (01:00:09):
Whiskey the whiskey, the whiskey strawer. It is a metal
straw that has, you know, your little mouthbit that you
would like a reusable and 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.

Speaker 6 (01:00:29):
Or your remix remax something. Sometimes if you taste being
split and separate, when.

Speaker 5 (01:00:35):
You get a freshly squeeze juice and the water and
the pulp kind of separate any frozen drink, any frozen.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
That it gets the lumpy. Yes, so it's called the
whisky straw.

Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
It was on one of those like shark tank esque
shows called by It Now, which I haven't heard of.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
But it's basically like you know, right, they.

Speaker 5 (01:00:57):
Say lemonade, coffee, chocolate, milk, powder, drink, smoothies, protein shakes.
Perfect wisk concept. Wis concept, but it's like thirty American dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:01:06):
This is actually a great idea, incredible, guys, All longing
I need is a middle straw. I've got some wire
and harmono. Okay, okay, I could make us.

Speaker 5 (01:01:17):
This is what I thought, because you know, it like
came out and 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 there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
I think we could just spot weld it straight to
the straw.

Speaker 5 (01:01:29):
Okay, 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 2 (01:01:36):
I put the bottom of the whisk. It's a whiskey.
It's a whiskey, But why not just have a tiny
many West? What you made of hands?

Speaker 6 (01:01:47):
What am I holding a straw mount the glass and
one hand in the whisk is the other whisky and the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Stirring and drinking with three whatever? Yeah? What are what
are you for you to talk about this?

Speaker 10 (01:01:58):
Not me?

Speaker 7 (01:01:59):
Not me?

Speaker 6 (01:02:00):
Too precious hands? You know this would be great for
the ninja slushies. Oh, I know, because sometimes the frozen drinks,
doesn't it do its own Slushyah? You take it too
long to drink your drinks.

Speaker 5 (01:02:11):
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, or if you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Drink too fast, you drink the flavor first of a slushy.
And yeah, that's a great idea.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
This is so good.

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
I just I just searched on kmart and nobody's they
don't have an imitation because you know, normally the cheap
imitation a jube.

Speaker 6 (01:02:31):
But nobody, nobody's dup this meet the person who works
for kmart. Yeah, who's I'm guessing on the internet a lot,
just looking at the thing that's about to pop off
like this whisk straw?

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
What would be okay, do it boom on the phone. Yeah,
hello Chinese, we're heating up our hair with air. Now
there's an ear wrap. Yeah, I got one. Twelve thousand
whiskey makers.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
Would you want the pressure of that job, though, because
what if you ordered something and like nobody liked it,
and then like you're let's move units.

Speaker 5 (01:03:01):
Most units, like the came the dip thing, the dip
hold of the nugget, dip hold in the cart.

Speaker 6 (01:03:06):
Like 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 seeing
it for twelve dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:03:16):
Welcome to your revolution, they say.

Speaker 5 (01:03:18):
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 it's still going to ship.
It is forty five US dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Yeah, so you better just to sellotape Mini West to
We are better to get sellotape in our hot beverages.

Speaker 5 (01:03:41):
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.

Speaker 6 (01:03:51):
The mixer hand mixing. No you need, but you need
the whisk attachment for the electric beta and then you
just yeah, wowed the straw.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
It's a great invention. It's really great. Okay, you make
one of me? Can you make it?

Speaker 5 (01:04:04):
And we could start a business a key we owned
whiskey straw business.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Straw with We're out of here? So what do you

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
So we have an inventor that we're literally wrapping off
someone's idea telling everybody about.

Speaker 5 (01:04:39):
Stay tuned for for Whiskey Business by fletch For and
Hailey play z.

Speaker 6 (01:04:44):
MS, Fletchborne and Hailey play z ms Fletchborne and Haley.

Speaker 8 (01:04:50):
Fact of the day, day day day day, Yeah, dude,
Landmark week in fact that the day famous buildings flocked
to sea around the world.

Speaker 6 (01:05:11):
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 inscription on except now
dot dot dog poor people signed Donald J.

Speaker 9 (01:05:27):
Trump.

Speaker 6 (01:05:29):
So originally the Statue of Liberty design was not meant
for New York, not meant to welcome immigrants to New York.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
The French, the French. Yeah, and they put it on.

Speaker 4 (01:05:40):
A boat and they and it's some amazing like old
old photos of her head and.

Speaker 5 (01:05:49):
As well the farmer Center's slightly more impressive than the
old Farmer center.

Speaker 6 (01:05:53):
He was he is our statue of Liberty. He's just
lying dead at some Wonka toy museum.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Museum.

Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
Well, the original idea for.

Speaker 6 (01:06:04):
The Statue of Liberty, the creator Fredrich Botholi, 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 holding a torture loft standing
at the northern entrance of the Suez Canal, and a

(01:06:25):
peasant's robe and a headscarf, far more Middle Eastern style.
Right 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,

(01:06:45):
and we own you the 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 2 (01:07:03):
Gustaf Eifle of Lituri Fell.

Speaker 5 (01:07:06):
River tower tower, the Eiffel River, the world famous Eiffel
where everyone got any engineered.

Speaker 6 (01:07:14):
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 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,

(01:07:35):
so both, like you know, had their issues, shall.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
We say uh?

Speaker 6 (01:07:38):
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. So the
French people actually paid for the statue. There was public donations,

(01:08:00):
lotteries and fundraising events. All the Americans had to do
was build a pedestal that it stood on out there
on Alice Island, which costs, 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 Price fame launched a public

(01:08:23):
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 and was actually a working lighthouse in her.

Speaker 2 (01:08:40):
Crown and the heads and the torch. That made way
more sense. It wasn't need a light, but it was.

Speaker 6 (01:08:49):
It was ineffective because they couldn't like install the mirror
system that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:53):
They need to get it further out and change the
light bulb was and.

Speaker 6 (01:08:57):
How many people doesn't take change the Liberty and pro
tap as well if you do win our trip to
the iHeart ready to jingle ball soon within his own
pro tap.

Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
You don't need to pay for an expensive cruise. You
just get the staten Island Fury Return for free. And
again you can see it, yeah, you don't straight past it. 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 2 (01:09:19):
Get a photo. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:09:20):
So the face of the Statue of Liberty was named
was based off bled His mother parently is a real
mummies boy.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
Oh yeah, mum's hot. It's weird. He just decides to
build you know, he statue to his mummy. Yeah, I
love my mummy.

Speaker 5 (01:09:36):
She's not preshy. I'd say, Oh, she's quite a handsome woman, right,
you know.

Speaker 10 (01:09:40):
What I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:09:41):
Like, but that's the thing. Back in the day, the
mengas were the hot one. Yeah, I know. And now
it's flipped because I'm an old school manga. Yeah yeah, right, yeah, right.

Speaker 6 (01:09:52):
If you go back to eighteen hundreds, you would have actually.

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
Been so hot.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
Yeah I'm in the wrong, bloody Yeah. I mean, if
you've got a trime machine, you went back and all
the guys are like, yeah, what the hell is that?
What's that? What's all that? What's there? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:10:11):
Okay, Well they could have modeled off Hailey's face in
the Statue of Lord would have been a straight tin.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Eighteen hundred and ten.

Speaker 6 (01:10:18):
So today's back to the day is Statue of Liberty
technically a riggift.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):

Into this, you know, emotional remotion.

Speaker 5 (01:11:41):
You know, relationships end over lots of reasons.

Speaker 6 (01:11:43):
It's always more complicated than just that.

Speaker 5 (01:11:45):
But they she certainly was a bigger nail on the coffin.

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
Wow, okay, and now they how long ago did this happen?

Speaker 5 (01:11:56):
That was about.

go done with them. But then it's also like they're
training with these hot people. They're making them hot, they're
making them hard and then hotter they start up and
what's the word like.

Speaker 9 (01:12:42):
Langelo?

Yes, yeah, workwives and husbands are the only way I
survived work. But of course they have to be a minger.

wife and my husband was at work and his work wife.

a single girl. That really pays me off.

Speaker 6 (01:13:06):
I don't go into friendships with the intent of stealing
your man, and often struggle with women that think that
of me straight off the bat.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
It's hard.

Speaker 5 (01:13:11):

platonic relationship.
