Good, thank you.

Good? You got a new shirt for me.

I do, yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
I was gifted this shirt.

Speaker 5 (00:20):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Is it a Pokemon?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Yeah, it's a Pokemon shirt.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
Oh, you said it like you were hashtag gifted this shirt.
Hashtag gifted. Oh, no, I was given.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Hashtag from my girlfriend. Yeah, she sponsors me.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Dollar a day. I'm pretty cheap. Yeah, nice.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Is it actually from the girlfriend? Is she encouraging this?

Speaker 6 (00:37):
Yeah, dude.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
No, she's a nerd. She's a hot nerd. She's a
hot nerd.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
She's a hot nerd, yeah. Okay, that'll be why. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Right.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Well, on the show tonight, guys, we've got loads of
chances for you to win your chance to get to
the ASB Classic. We've got, thanks to BP Rewards, your
chance to win free fuel at 8 o'clock. And I
don't know why it was announced at this time last night,
but was it 8 o'clock?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Somba is coming to the country.

Speaker 6 (01:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
He'll be performing in New Zealand in April next year
at Spark Arena. And we've got a double pass up
for grabs, but you've got to be eagle-eared listening for
a Samba song. First quarter through when that plays. Sometime
on the show today, you get a double pass. So
be listening out for us to play Samba. His concerts

(01:23):
look so good. Like I want to go.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
I want to go to this.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's going to be an amazing show. And I reckon
this will sell out because he's been On fire.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
He's a tall boy. You could go and do your dance.
12 to 12. You always do your little.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Oh, yeah, my dance is 12 to 12. I've been
known to boogie. Yeah. Top six for us soon, Vaughn.

Speaker 7 (01:45):
Meth found in a McMuffin or a McMethan. A bacon
and egg McMethan.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I'm sure McDonald's was stoked when this hit the news.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Yeah. Love the connotation.

Speaker 7 (01:56):
Yeah. Well, I like the top six of the breakfast
foods you can hide your drugs in.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Breakfast specifically. Yeah, breakfast specifically. Right.

Speaker 7 (02:03):
Look, I haven't written it yet. It might, like, when
you hear it, you'll be like, man, he's not mentioning breakfast.
And that got too hard, so I just kind of
broadened it to all foods.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
All foods. Okay, next on the show.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
There is a man who found a handbag, and when
a woman tried to claim it, he wanted to make
sure that it was definitely hers. I'll tell you about
it next.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
The ZN Podcast Network.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
We've got new Miley. 18th of September, she's just announced
an hour ago on her social media, a new album,
Bass Persuades. Her 10th studio album. 10th studio album.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
She's got a new record label. She said, music takes
hold of us. We feel it, sing it, sometimes dance it,
let it out and carry on. It's powerful, vulnerable, sweet
and strong. Heartful, heartache, everything in between. This is what
this album means to me. Exciting.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
So that's what, 16 days away?

Speaker 4 (02:48):
That's... New Miley. And in the little video she's dropped
in her socials, now just Miley, remember? No, she's dropped
the Cyrus. She's rocking out with a guitar, so we
might have some bangers.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yes, good.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
We love a Miley banger. Now, there's a great story.
There is a man who found a handbag. just left
at a shop, left outside a cafe, sorry, and he
shared online his process of finding its owner. He'd put
it up on the local community page. Hey, someone left
this outside this. I've taken it home and, you know,

(03:21):
wanting to return it to its rightful owner. And then
someone responded and said, this is my bag. And he
did the thing where he wanted to make sure that
it was... Their bag.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Which is, you know.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Online publicly for everybody.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Okay. So this is on like a thread and says,
you know, oh, that's cool. You know, let me know
just a couple of things that are in the bag.

Speaker 7 (03:47):
I do love when someone finds something, can they take
it upon themselves to.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Sort of take the law into their own hands. I
love when they take it really seriously. Prove to me,
tis your bag. And she said, okay, yeah, it's got,
you know, whatever it was, a wallet that looks like
this and, you know, a lipstick of this colour and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And she was correct. It was her bag. And so

(04:11):
he said, oh, yep, cool, cool, cool. That's absolutely fine. Obviously,
that's your bag. Just want to let you know that
your vape's dead. Ha, ha, ha. Because obviously he had
a little look and had a little... A little toot
on the vape. A little toot on the vape.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Wait, he had a toot on the vape? Well, how
would you know that the vape was flat if you
didn't give it a little toot?

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah, so he went like this and he wrote a
comment saying, FYI, your vape's flat. And she said, hon,
that's not a vape.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
A Vaughan. A Vaughan. So he put that in his mouth.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Small little pocket vibe and he had a little shh. Oh, dear.
Nothing's coming out of it. She said, oh, hon, that's
not a vape.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Would you det hole that or would you throw it out?

Speaker 4 (05:03):
You would hope that she– it's probably one of the
things you'd keep cleanest, you know what I mean, that
you do wash. Yeah. Regularly after use.

Speaker 8 (05:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Still, though, you're not, you know– I don't think you're
tooting on it, no.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
No, you're not buying a new one.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
And I'm like, how– this guy– I mean, I suppose
sometimes the ends, they do look deceptively– vape-like, don't they?
Because there's all sorts of different... It would be cool
if you could get one that did both.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
That would actually be really handy. You know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
You wouldn't want to put it the wrong way around, though,
because you'd think your foo-foo was steaming.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, steaming.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
God, I think I've overworked at the thing steaming.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Yeah, jeez.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
It's letting off vapour.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
I've absolutely run this thing to the ground. I think maybe...
Who told this story, the woman? He shared it, but
it was all on like a Facebook community page. So,
you know, it's not a secret. He shared it.

Speaker 7 (06:00):
He shared it saying your vape's flat. It was kind
of a word to the wise. And someone's like, that's
not your vape. And he didn't delete the comment.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Just left it there.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Just left it there. I think it's just sort of
maybe a PSA of if you are going to find
something and you think it's a vape, maybe don't suck
on it. Pop it in your mouth.

Speaker 9 (06:15):
Play ZM's Flesh, Horn and Hayley.

Speaker 10 (06:22):
Silly Little Pole today is when.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
You sneeze, do you like when people say bless you?

Speaker 10 (06:36):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
And I always say it too.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
It infuriates me.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
And especially when non-religious people say it, like my friends,
I'm like, don't say that to me.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
That's me. Right.

Speaker 7 (06:52):
See, I think it's transcended religion. It's more of a thoughtful,
oh my gosh, I know how much those are uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
It's like saying big stretch to a pet. Oh, big stretch. Oh,
bless you.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
If your pet does a big stretch and you don't
acknowledge the big stretch, you don't deserve big stretch.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
No, big stretch. Always got to say big stretch. They're
showing you how big their stretch is.

Speaker 9 (07:10):
I know.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
And a yawn, when they do a yawn, you've got
to tell them it's a big yawn.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Oh, big yawn.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Someone's had a big day of doing nothing.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah, you fat loser. Yeah, I always say bless you.
And when I sneeze and someone says bless you, it's
thank you.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
What would you prefer, Fletch?

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Gesundheit? Nothing. Just shut up.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Do you want us to say, oh, big sneeze? Oh,
big sneeze. Big sneeze.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Oh, big sneeze. Maybe as a friend group, we'll implement, oh,
big sneeze.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
We'll try to remember to implement, oh, big sneeze.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Oh, big sneeze.

Speaker 7 (07:39):
When you sneeze, you like people to say, bless you. 71%
of people said, yes, they like it.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
So do you know the origins of bless you?

Speaker 4 (07:47):
The devil?

Speaker 1 (07:49):
So apparently the plague in 590 AD, there was an
outbreak of bubonic plague.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
In 590 AD?

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Because the big plague was much later on.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah, 13, 14. Pope Gregory. Class of the time.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Greggie, we call him.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Oh, Greggie boy.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
We call him Pope Greggie. He ordered people to say,
God bless you. Because when you sneezed, it was a
sign of the deadly illness.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Oh, so you've got the illness. May God bless you.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Also, there's ancient superstitions as well that many cultures believe
that a sneeze could force your soul out of your body.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
That's what I could imagine. Put your soul out and
the devil gets in. I'm sorry if you just want
to sneeze your soul out. Because I thought Gesundheit was a...
sort of a spell to put it back into your body,
but apparently it's just the misspelling of a German word. Well,
we and our listeners, we're moving to, oh, big sneeze. Oh,
big sneeze. Big sneeze. Big sneeze.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Oh, big sneeze.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Some feedback on it.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
Caitlin said, when I was in primary school, one of
the teachers told me that every time you sneeze, someone says,
bless you, and you say, thank you, a fairy dies.

Speaker 8 (08:53):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Was she like a hippie? I like this teacher.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
When someone says you don't say bless you and thank you,
a fairy dies? Why would a fairy die if you
said bless you?

Speaker 7 (09:02):
Nearly 30 years on, I still have a complex about it,
and I prefer not to be put in a situation
where I have to choose between good manners and fairy slaughter.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
We don't want fairies dying. We don't want fairies dying.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
You said a fairy died if you said bless you
after a sneeze.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Well, maybe because fairies are not there of the... mystical world,
not the religious world.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
Oh, right.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
So if you say bless you.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
That's what I always think when I see fairies, I
think heathens.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Oh, you bloody heathens.

Speaker 7 (09:25):
Get out of my garden, you bloody heathens. Ben said,
is someone with year-round allergies? Please don't. Michael said, yes,
it's a million times better than when I sneeze. And
my wife says, F you, she hates sneezes.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Oh, I love a sneeze. I hate when someone holds
it in, you know, and they go. I'm like, why
would you?

Speaker 3 (09:43):
It feels so good.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Why would you ever hold that in? Don't hold it in. No,
it feels good to let it out. Did you say
it feels good to hold it in, Fletch?

Speaker 7 (09:51):
No, I said it feels good just to sneeze. There's
simply no worse feeling than holding it in.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
I swear.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
People can do serious injury holding and sneezing. or trying
to suppress them.

Speaker 7 (10:01):
I remember as a kid someone said if you hold
in a sneeze it can detach your spinal cord.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Now they can't.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
But I remember being very scared of my spinal cord
becoming detached.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Let's not risk it.

Speaker 7 (10:11):
Always, and also to strangers in public, it brings a
smile to their face every time, says Tash. Unless they're strangers,
Fletch or 30% of the crowd. I will ignore you
if you say that in public.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
No, he'll verbally attack you instead. Don't you put your
witchy curse on me.

Speaker 7 (10:26):
Emily said, I sneezed during a conference keynote speech in Germany.
I got 400 plus whispered synchronized gesundheits as a response,
and it was the funniest thing ever.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Gesundheit, gesundheit, gesundheit, gesundheit, gesundheit, gesundheit, gesundheit, gesundheit, gesundheit.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Big sneeze.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
Big sneeze.

Speaker 9 (10:42):
Oh, big sneeze.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Imagine the crowd goes, oh, big sneeze.

Speaker 7 (10:45):
Okay, if you're coming to FVH Live, the new rule
is if any of us sneeze, everybody has to give
a synchronised, oh, big sneeze.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Oh, big sneeze.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Bree said we need a don't care button.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (10:59):
I like when people let us know they don't want
to participate But just say I don't have an opinion
But thanks for the show or something I don't care
I've actually banned I don't care in my house With
the kids I don't mind is what we say What
do you want for dinner? I don't care Well if
you don't care why should I?

Speaker 4 (11:18):
I don't mind How about you get nothing and go
to bed And clean out the fireplace Cinderella And go
to bed with no dinner Acknowledge the sneeze, said Lou.

Speaker 7 (11:29):
Always acknowledge the sneeze. Megan says, but if someone else sneezes,
I only say bless you once. Any more than two
sneezes in a row, you need to get your shit
together and remember you're an adult.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
No, two's normal.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah. Any more than two, she's saying.

Speaker 8 (11:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
Remember our friend Rachel Fletch?

Speaker 6 (11:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (11:46):
Rachel Patterson would sneeze like eight times in a row. Now,
they always used to say a sneeze is an eighth
of an orgasm.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (11:52):
And she'd sneeze eight times in a row and she
was like, I tell you what.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
It's not. Melanie Bracewell does that. She goes, and you're like, jeepers.

Speaker 9 (12:03):
Grow up.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yeah, grow up. Two and then grow up.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
I never sneeze once.

Speaker 7 (12:08):
It's always five times reasonably spaced out, says Sherry, so
it just gets awkward. Then I also feel the need
to say it to someone when they sneeze and feel
awkward when I don't. So that would be annoying. She's
sneezing spaced out sneezes. She's not Mel Bracewell. She's like, achoo.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Achoo, achoo. Gesundheit means good health.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, German for good health. The Germans say it as
a polite way. So I'd rather have a gesundheit than
a good health.

Speaker 7 (12:33):
Why does even good health in German, gesundheit, sound?

Speaker 3 (12:37):
It doesn't sound it.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Does it? We go cheers to good health. To good health.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Gesundheit!

Speaker 9 (12:41):
What a.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
Language, eh?

Speaker 7 (12:45):
Yeah, so for still a little poll today, we asked you,
when you sneeze, do you like when people say bless you?

Speaker 4 (12:50):
71% of you, they like a bless you.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
The ZNN Podcast Network.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Now, our lovely producer, Karwin, is currently, Shannon, currently, the
only person engaged in this studio.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Wow, wow, wow, wow.

Speaker 7 (13:06):
Just a shot across the bow there.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
She sits, she waits. I almost talked to him when
we hung out with him on Friday. Anyway, back to you, Karwin.
You are currently the only person engaged on our team.
What an honour. What an honour.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
We've talked a little bit about this, but let's touch
base again. Wedding plans, have you put anything, you know,
ruminating in the mind?

Speaker 8 (13:29):
A lot of questions about this and not a lot
of action, honestly. My Facebook algorithm really likes to suggest
things and I've pinned a few.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
So you've got a Pinterest on the go?

Speaker 8 (13:37):
Not a Pinterest, but like a TikTok folder of like, oh,
this is this bookish thing that's being done at a
wedding or this is this thing.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
I just sent you one this morning that I saw.
It was like a beautiful dining table in like an
old bookshop and I was like, giving big car one. Beautiful.
Does the fiance read? Not really. It's not really about him.
Can he read? He can read. He's able to read.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Not that I'm judging if people can't read.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
No, no, no, but he works in the media. Yeah,
he does. Need to. Would you think, if you were
looking at a wedding with other costs in mind, that
you would go for a big lavish wedding or something
more along the micro trend, which is the number one
thing Wedding trend of 2026, micro weddings.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
What does that involve?

Speaker 4 (14:20):
So less than 50 guests is called micro, but like
usually it's like 10, 15 guests.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
Lovely.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Usually a courthouse wedding, like we're not doing big venues,
no catering, or if it's catering, it's something cheap.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Right.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
So would you be thinking more towards micro or macro?

Speaker 8 (14:36):
Well, definitely not macro, but I think we counted on
our hands, like all the people we were going to invite.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Fletch, Porn, Hayley, plus ones. Fletch, you bring big hearted James.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
He's a great, he's actually a hoot at a wedding.
He's a celebrant. He is a celebrant.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
Oh, I think I have already locked in Georgia as
a celebrant. That's crazy. I'm a celebrant. That's crazy. I'm
a celebrant. I would absolutely make that show mine.

Speaker 8 (15:03):
Sorry, I forgot you had refreshed your license.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, it's crazy, man. Type five at the top, get
the crowd feeling good.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Make it all about yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (15:12):
You can see why she's opting for Georgia. Selfless, lovely Georgia.
Put everybody before herself. Or Hayley, who will make the
wedding about her.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
How many laughs do you want? So you counted.

Speaker 8 (15:23):
And I'd say it's over 50, but not much over 50.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'd say more the micro style, yeah.
So it's like the rise, as you say, it's on TikTok.
It's always framed as low stress, intimate, and more romantic.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
To have a micro wedding. It's not about showing off.
It's about what it's about. It's about love and the
bringing together of two families. But a wedding planner has
come out and said, I'm sick of this shit. You're
just poor. And listen, fair enough. It was such a
rough take.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Of course, everybody is at the moment. So the answer
is yes.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yes, yes, yes. So they were saying it's most likely both.
that couples are being smarter with money, not just that
they're like broke. But this person was like, stop framing
it like some romantic, intimate thing. You are broke and
your wedding looks broke. I was like, oh, that's just
because it's constant.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
The wedding planner's... We've been ripping people off forever.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
100%.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
You're not getting a wedding planner for a micro wedding.
You can do that on your own. Totally. 100%.

Speaker 8 (16:24):
And I feel like in the past, you know, a
wedding has been a good time for families to come together.
Maybe you haven't seen people for a while, but we
do that all the time now.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
We're hanging out.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
We're travelling.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Totally. So it's not that special anymore. So Gen Z,
that's you in particular, seen as more financially literate and
cautious than us. We were like, the amount of friends
that I've been to their weddings, they got loans for.
To the tune of 40, 50 grand.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
And how many of them are still together?

Speaker 5 (16:51):
Half.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yep, exactly.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Half for sure.

Speaker 8 (16:56):
Maybe we're just more realistic that like it's not worth
that money just in case.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
No, exactly. And you've got student debt, you're saving for
a house or you've got a house and you want
to get a bigger one, you know, work your way
through the property market, not spend eight grand on a
wedding dress you're going to wear once and then divorce,
you know. Yeah, exactly. What was it, 10, 20 years
down the track? Don't point at me. Well, only one engaged.

(17:20):
She's like, what was that?

Speaker 3 (17:21):
You, over there. Only one engaged, I point to Carwen.
Only one divorced, I refer to you, my friend. Western
Australian police had been surveying one particular house, believing it

(17:43):
to be dealing illicit substances.

Speaker 7 (17:47):
When a car left, they pulled a man over. They said,
what's in the bag? He said, some Maccies. And they
were like, oh, yeah. And they give us a look.
And they looked in the bag. And everything was warm
except for one cold bacon and egg McMuffin at the bottom.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Which drew their suspicion. So they opened it.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
And inside the McMuffin, a little baggie of meth. Now,
far better for me. So that's how they were delivering it,
were they?

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Illicitly.

Speaker 7 (18:14):
Yeah, well, no, that's how they were getting it out. Right,
I would have reheated the muffin. I would have put
the meth in a salt bag.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah, but we're talking three people that have never done meth. Now,
can meth be hot? Georgia's actually in really early. Georgia,
you do meth quite famously. You love a bit of meth.
Famous meth addict, Georgia Bird.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
High-functioning methamphetamine addict.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Excuse me? Oh, yeah, she's electric. She's always so up
and spirited. Yeah, oh, my God, she's so happy. We
don't see the 3 p.m. crash when she needs to
hit the pipe. Do you know how much meth is
in a meth session? How much meth? I'm just going
to guess, what, like half a teaspoon? A teaspoon? No,
going by grams, you silly non.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
A gram?

Speaker 4 (18:56):
A gram? From the last time I did it was
a gram. I'm Googling.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
How much meth do you do is my Google search.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
No, don't Google that. We're at work. What dose of methamphetamine.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Do regular consumers use? Anyway, the top six.

Speaker 7 (19:12):
Okay, so there was meth in a little plastic bag
and it was shoved inside a bacon and egg McMethan.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
That's funny.

Speaker 7 (19:20):
I've got the top six other breakfast foods you can
hide your drugs in. Number six on the list, a
bowl of special K-etamine.

Speaker 5 (19:26):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
It's a special K, eh?

It's a special K, all right.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
Very special.

Speaker 3 (19:32):

Nah, straight in there.

Cocaine pop pops. Cocaine pop pops. Cocaine pop pops.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Number three on the list of the top six.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Would you sprinkle it?

Speaker 7 (19:58):
Having never done cocaine, I don't know how much. That's
what I need to Google. How much cocaine do you do?

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Just ask in general of the drugs when you do
a session of it. Of drugs.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
How much drugs should I do?

Speaker 7 (20:10):
Number three on the list of the top six breakfast
foods to hide your drugs in, Fletch, this one's right
up your alley.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Creamy magic mushrooms on toast.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
Oh, yum.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
I do love creamy mushrooms, but not magic. I would
hate that.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
Number two on the list of the top six breakfast
foods to hide your drugs in, pancracks with maple syrup.

And number one on the list of the top six
breakfast foods to hide your drugs.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
In, ham DMA omelette.

Speaker 6 (20:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Loose. No, why didn't you say ham DNA and cheese omelette?

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Ham DNA.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
I wasn't sure I was saying that right.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Ham DNA. Ham DNA. Ham DNA. Oh, yeah, that works.
Ham DNA and cheese omelette.

Speaker 6 (20:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Now, someone said 0.1 of a gram is a big session.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Jesus.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
So if we're doing a gram.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Well, yeah. Three and a half grams is worth about $ 2, 000,
they said.

Speaker 5 (21:06):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Okay, jeez. How many.
How do you do meth? Do you smoke?

Speaker 3 (21:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
Okay, anyway. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Drugs are bad.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
So many people are using meth. I'm like, when are
they doing it? I don't see them.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
How do you do the meth?

Speaker 4 (21:21):
I don't see them doing the meth.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Well, it's prevalent. So it's probably people you know. You
just have no idea, sadly.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (21:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
He's looking in the eyes around the room.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah, yeah. She's always bloody happy.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
George is pointing to light bulbs. Listen, move on. We
don't know. We're actually embarrassing ourselves.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah, I'm meth illiterate. That is today's top six.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
The ZM Podcast Network.

Speaker 9 (21:45):
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
I want to talk about your body quirks, your unusual
little things that your body does.

Speaker 6 (21:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
And absolutely no shame. Purely, you'll be entertaining us.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
I can vibrate my eyeballs. You know that thing?

Speaker 8 (21:57):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Russell Seale could do that.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Growing up, I was always jealous. I'd get him to
do it all the time and he'd be like, I can't,
I've got a headache now.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
You can do it for like a short, you have
to be looking right at the light and then you
can only do it for a short amount of time
until your brain's like, whoa, stop. But yeah, I can
make my eyeballs vibrate. George, you got a weird body
thing at all? I can just fold my ear inside
my ear. Go on. Go on. No, I've got to
warm it up. So hang on, come back. Can you
warm it up? Warm up your ear. We'll be back
to you in a minute.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
What do you mean you've got to rub it? You've
got to rub it?

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah, she is. So you warm up your ear so
it folds and it holds. Hang on, headphones off. Don't
talk to me.

Speaker 11 (22:30):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
What camera does she need? Where is she at? She's
on Fletcher's. She's good. She's good. Okay, she's at Fletcher's.

Speaker 7 (22:36):
The audio, she's literally like winding it up like it's
an old car and she's turning the crank.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
Keep talking because this may take some time. It's been
a wee while.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
You're making it all red.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Fletcher, have you got a weird body thing?

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Nah.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
I've got a fifth tooth in the middle down the bottom.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
Really?

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Like five down the bottom, so you have four.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
That's very Tom Cruise of you.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Apparently, Carwin can twist your arms right around 360.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Well, go on. Hang on.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Where's the give? Where's the give?

Speaker 4 (23:04):
Where does it stop?

Speaker 3 (23:05):
She should be in a travelling circus. Where does it stop?

Speaker 4 (23:08):
What's it called?

Speaker 3 (23:08):
A hyperflexibility. A woman's foot on line, when she chews,
her eyelid goes.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
When she.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Like in time with her chewing, her eyelid goes.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
Oh, that's not good. Imagine a first date. So tell me. Yeah,
I know.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
Because my pig, literally a pig. I'm not calling anybody,
a human.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
A pig.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
My pig. Don't talk about Amy like that. My beautiful pig. Hamlet,
when he chews, his eye bulges out.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Like it looks like it's going to pop out of
the socket.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Like squeezing a toy with those bulgy eyes.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:40):
And one day I'm freaking out if he gets a
bit older and it gets a bit worse. His eye
could pop out and I'm going to have to finger
it back in.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Should we just check back in with Georgia? Yeah, so
this used to be something I'd do every single night
when I was in bed. So, like, it's a little
bit out of practice because I'm an adult, obviously. She's
really made a child of you.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
That would actually be a good phone. What did you
used to do when you were in bed?

Speaker 4 (23:59):
Oh, it doesn't stay anymore. It used to stay for ages.
Suck coins.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
The top of her ear is being tucked.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Into her ear hole. I'll say no one uses shit radio.
It's shit to look at. When I was a child,
it would stay all the time, okay? I wasn't prepared
for this, was I? I just got here.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
It is a shame when you can't do what you
can do as a kid, eh?

Speaker 7 (24:23):
Because you start practicing and stuff like, you know.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
Like sort of breathe and stay calm.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Or just sitting with your legs crossed and not being like, oh,
my hips. Oh, yeah, crossing your legs now, sitting on
the mat is adult.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
No, I can't have my legs straight. They have to
be folded.

Speaker 7 (24:36):
Oh, I can't sit straight either. I kind of just
have to lie.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
0800DIALZM is our number. We want you to give us
a call right now. You can text us as well, 9696.
Does your body have a quirk or a rarity? Ooh,
also accepting rarities. We've actually got a name somebody's messaged in.
We've got a name for the situation that got us
talking about our topic today of your weird body quirks.
A lady said, does this happen to anybody else? When
she chews, her eye opens and shut. Marcus Gunn Phenomenon.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (25:05):
I love Marcus Gunn. Congenital or Jason's? I'm a Jason
Gunn man myself. I'm Marcus through and through.

Speaker 6 (25:11):
Are you?

Speaker 5 (25:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Because I'd go Jason Gunn, Rod and Gunn. No.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Marcus Gunn, number one.

Speaker 7 (25:16):
And then Top Gun, number two.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Great movie.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
And Shotgun, number three.

Speaker 7 (25:21):
A congenital condition where an individual experiences involuntary movement of
the eyelid, most commonly known as.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
The jaw winking syndrome.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Jaw winking.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
One eyelid drops.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
but it suddenly winks or retracts upward when the person
moves their jaw. And babies are first diagnosed with it
when they start breastfeeding. Apparently they wink while they... Don't
wink at me. They suck when they wink.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Yeah, when you're down there, don't wink at me.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Suck it on that. And it's named.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
I'm guessing it's named after the man who, well, I guess,
researched this, Jason Gunn's brother.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
Jason Gunn's brother.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Marcus Gunn. Somebody said, my son got diagnosed with it
at three months and 30 doctors came running in to
see it as.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
A little bit of a... Wow. Oh, yeah. Guys, we've
got a Marcus Gunn.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
You never.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
You never want to be that embarrassing patient where the
doctor's like, just wait here, I've got to show my
doctor friends.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
You know, my uterus is really deformed, a bicornuate uterus,
but mine's so deformed that when they discovered it, my
gynecologist was like, Can I, sorry, can I just bring
a few people in to look at this? Because this
one's really, really, really munted.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Are you in any medical papers? Have they put you
in any?

Speaker 4 (26:26):
No, but I'm a great example. People came in and
they were looking, you know, I'm up in the stirrups
and they're looking on the screen being like, oh, whoa,
I've never seen one this munted, I think was the
medical word. Gemma joins us on the show. Gemma, what's
your weird body quirk?

Speaker 6 (26:40):
I've got a few. My main one is when someone
gives me a fright I get tingly armpits.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Oh my God, I get that, the fizzing? Did it work?
Did I give you a fright? Yes, like you're like
pins and needles in your armpits.

Speaker 10 (26:55):
All my friends think it's weird because I always grab
my armpits when I get a fright.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Fletch tried to give you a fright.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
I tried to tell you.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah, you guys are near me.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
Sorry, Fletch.

Speaker 7 (27:03):
There's got to be some sort of primal reason for this.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
I've never researched it to be fair. Is it something
like when you get a fright, you get that flight
or fright mode that maybe you're sweat?

Speaker 11 (27:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
You know, sweat coming. Maybe. And it's like a short,
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
Or you know when you get a fright and your
hair stands on end and the armpits do have hair.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe it's a.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
I try to keep them updated. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:28):
Well, I've kept it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's still the follicles.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Interesting.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
Yeah, nice. Well, thank you, Gemma. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Um.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
Don't say that. It's such an inappropriate message, 233.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Excuse me, that's so rude.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
So inappropriate.

Speaker 7 (27:41):
Are my tongues so long I can stick it up
my nose? My brother has a long tongue as well
and can tie cherry stalks and knots in his mouth.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
That's a tell you what, the ladies. Okay, Hayley.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
Proof or it's not true. Yeah, we'll see that.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Long-tongued. Man, do that trick.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
I've got a twitch I get in my eyebrow when
I get angry.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
I've never seen it, but my partner says it happens
all the time, says Paige.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
So her eyebrow starts, look in the cartoons. Yeah, that's
totally fine, babe. You go out with the boys.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
I can blow air out of my eye tear duct.

Speaker 8 (28:15):
What?

Speaker 7 (28:16):
I've seen people do that. It's the same people that
are like, I can make milk, and they put milk
in their mouth, and they go, and it comes out there.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Weird. It's all connected through the nose and everything, right?

Speaker 7 (28:25):
I can also make a popping noise putting my finger
in my ear and popping it out at a certain angle.
I'm 34 and I still have a baby tooth, no
adult tooth underneath, so nothing.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
To push it out. It's just stayed there. Oh, a
little shame tooth.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
I thought the little baby teeth, they'd rot out by then.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
I don't have the stamina. They were a temporary situation. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
I can pop my eyelids. It feels really good. I
never liked the kids that turned their eyelids inside out
at school.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
That was weird.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
They probably didn't. you know, in jail now or something.
My mate Ryan has that eye chew thing. His mum
said when he was a baby and he was breastfeeding,
he did it back. One massive bulgy eye opening and
closing looking up at you was very creepy, she said.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
Gosh. We've heard from Creaky Galley and Louise.

Speaker 7 (29:05):
Because, you know, not all these things, we're kind of
talking about these things, not in a super positive light.
She said, I was once told by a doctor that
I have the most symmetrical pair of breasts he's ever seen.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
Wow. Wow.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
That sounds like an inappropriate comment from a doctor.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
Depends what kind of doctor. If it was a dentist,
you'd be like, it's not actually. This isn't your department.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Stay at the mouth.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you wouldn't want to be
told that you've got the most wonky set of tits
that he's ever seen. Nah. Symmetrical, though. That's a high praise. Sisters,
not twins, you know?

Speaker 7 (29:40):
My body parts randomly decide to crack like glow sticks.
I get lightheaded like my brain just released all of
its glow fluid into the.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Rest of my body. So they get crack, crack, crack, crack.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
On the baby tooth thing, my 19-year-old daughter only has
seven adult teeth. All the rest are baby teeth. She
won't ever get adult teeth in those ones.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
So they're just not there to push them through in
the skull?

Speaker 7 (30:01):
494, which ones are the baby teeth? Because I think
I'd prefer my baby teeth hidden at the back. Not like,
imagine if you had like full teeth on the side
and then just the middle ones are still the baby ones.
I'm sorry, 017, can you please call up if we've
got time?

Speaker 4 (30:14):
I can play my head like a bongo but can
shape my mouth for different notes.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Oh my God, we need that on the phone immediately.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Mary had a little lamb. Please call us.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
We need that on the phone.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Please call us. Yeah, if we can get you on
the phone there, 017.

Speaker 7 (30:26):
I go to routine MRIs, which I'm very used to,
but now my body faints every time without warning.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Big red flag in my file now. It's very embarrassing.
Someone said, my weird body quirk, I can eat five
spicy curry, five, I can eat, sorry, I can eat
spicy curry five nights a week and poo normal, but
the second I have a potato, I shit myself like
no tomorrow. That's the widest food there is a potato. Yes.

Speaker 7 (30:53):
Chris has hypermobility and can turn both feet 180 degrees backwards. Feet.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
So you could just twist where you stand.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
We're going to need to see a video of that.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Now, Jordan joins us on the phone. Good morning, Jordan.
Good morning. Now, you can bongo your head and the
note changes with the shape of your mouth. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:13):
I can give it a try, but I don't know
if it'll come through on the phone.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Okay. Well, we can only try. We're going to try
these things.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
This is for science.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
Okay. Okay. No, the bloody phone gates blocked it.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
I heard one more.

Speaker 7 (31:27):
Do you think you could just record a video and
send it through to our social media? Because everybody listening
obviously wants to hear this.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
We're invested. We are.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Everyone needs to see this happen, Jordan.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
I'll do that now and I'll send it through to
you on Instagram.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
You're a good boy, Jordan.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
We'll play that ASAP. Thank you, Jordan. For science, obviously.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Obviously for science. Just the phone gates.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
Yeah, the phones are too good now. They're getting too good.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
All right.

Speaker 8 (31:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
That's all of our freaky little listeners.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, freaky.

Speaker 9 (31:57):
Little freaks out there.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Just touch base of things coming up that we're excited
to watch or things that we've just watched that we've
loved recently. We love doing this. And I've finally been
watching Rivals that Fletch has been going on at me
about for a long time. It's on Disney?

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (32:16):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
It's on Disney. Have you watched it?

Speaker 3 (32:18):
No, it's on my list.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Oh, it's so good. Great British humour.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
I just love David Tennant. He's phenomenal in this.

Speaker 7 (32:25):
I've never seen David Tennant in something and thought, eh,
not for me. Everything he does, he does so brilliantly.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
He's so good.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
He's brilliant in Rivals. That's on Disney. And then I
just finished watching a, I believe it was a miniseries,
three parts. on Netflix called The Pastor's Wife.

Speaker 10 (32:42):
Micah was influenced by John Paul because he was 15
years older than her.

Speaker 4 (32:46):
She just listened to his voice, a voice of a pastor,
a voice of a mentor, and then a voice of
a husband.

Speaker 10 (32:53):
She showed me that John Paul's signature was tattooed on
her side permanently, like ownership. It kind of spiraled from there.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
It's like classic Netflix true crime doco. Done so well.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
So it's called Death of the Pastor's Wife.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Sorry, yeah, Death of the Pastor's Wife. That's right. So
spoiler alert, she dead. Yep. Okay. But we learned that
right at the top. That's not the spoiler. It's kind
of like how did we get here? And then, you know,
like church leader vibes. It's really, really good.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
I saw a trailer.

Speaker 7 (33:29):
I think I sent it to the group yesterday for
the next HBO three-part investigation.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
That looks incredible.

Speaker 7 (33:35):
About a couple that were murdered in 1992 and his
ex-wife gets convicted of it, the dead guy's ex-wife. And
like this many years later, this couple is obsessed with
the fact that she didn't do it so much that
they're going to sell their house to fund her retrial.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
That looks amazing. And HBO always does those things particularly well. Well,
I didn't even have my eye on this show.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
A killer story is what it's called. Sorry, I do apologize.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
Yeah, Carmen's just sent it through. A killer story. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That looks so good. The show that I know that
we'll be excited for. Did you get into this as well, Vaughn,
that Fletch and I watch? Adults?

Speaker 6 (34:08):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
So good. It's like they called it Girls for Millennials.
It's like... No, it's Girls for... Gen Z?

Speaker 3 (34:17):
I'd say it's Gen Z. It's Gen Z girls, yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
Gen Z girls. We had girls for the millennials. The
Gen Zs have adults and it's just like, you know,
friends in a flat and they're kind of comings and
goings and they've just dropped some of season two, I think,
on Disney. Right. Which is, it's such a good show.
It was one of those ones I was like, well,
maybe not and then I just really got into it.
So that's on Disney season two. All eight episodes are available,

(34:42):
I believe.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
I started watching Reacher season four last night, Fletch. Yeah,
good stuff.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
It's week by week, so I'm waiting till it's all out. Oh,
you're going to wait till it's all out.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
That's on Prime.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
I just really like this.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Because you refuse to wait.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
He doesn't do episodic. Yeah, I refuse. I refuse to wait.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
No, he won't have a bar of it. And, Producer Carwin,
you were just saying you cannot wait for the next
season of?

Speaker 8 (35:06):
Outlander, Blood of My Blood. It's the prequel to Outlander.
It's hot Scottish men, time-travelling people.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
It's so much fun. That's got our boy in it.
Jeremy Irvine's in that.

Speaker 8 (35:16):
Jeremy Irvine, my favourite.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Kind of a crush, to be honest.

Speaker 6 (35:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Hot Scottish time travellers.

Speaker 8 (35:21):
Yeah, so a couple accidentally travel back to the Highlands
and they're surrounded.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
By like hot Scottish people. That was the original Outlander.
Is this a spin-off or have they found the same porcelain?
So this is the prequel.

Speaker 8 (35:32):
So Outlander, Blood of My Blood is the parents of
Claire who was from the original series.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
Okay. Someone just messaged in, you've got to watch Woman
of Substance on TVNZ On Demand. And Lucy said we
need a list of shows. Maybe we could chuck something
up on the socials of the things that we're watching
or the things we're excited about.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Woman of substance. At the beginning of the 20th century,
Emma Hart works as a maid in a kitchen. She
transforms herself into a successful businesswoman and owns a store.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
She is successful, yet lonely. Oh, as many successful women are.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Well, there you go.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
That's everything that we are watching or excited about at
the moment.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Fairamone maxing just seems like the latest in a bunch of, like,
young men with too much time on their hands coming
up with ideas and putting them online. Like, looks maxing
and the jaw hitting and the... We've stopped that, though, aye? No,
I don't think they have.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
We're still smashing our jaws with hammers.

Speaker 7 (36:28):
Fallen out of fashion to be talked about. But apparently men,
being manky, not washing and calling it pheromone maxing, embracing
their so-called natural mask in the belief women will be
more attracted to them.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Yuck.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
But pheromones aren't your stink, hey?

Speaker 4 (36:43):
It's like a bit of your natural perspiration, right? But
also oils and... Yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
What we secrete.

Speaker 7 (36:50):
You're like natural smell? You can't be like, that's the
smell of pheromones. Because you sense it, but it goes
to the brain and you like it. But it's not
a specific smell.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Remember when Fletch put on that pheromone perfume? Oh, yeah,
and we were all humping it. We were like, let
me out of it. Let me out of it.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
The base of perfume.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
Yeah, the base of a perfume. And if you put
it on, it enhances your pheromones. And for some people,
it really sings. And then Vaughan put it on. We
were like, oh, yeah, it smells all right. And then
Fletch put it on. We were all like... Daddy. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
I was irresistible. He was like a burly bomb when
he walked home that day. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
So did anybody message him saying that they actually appreciate
the smell of the body odor?

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Yes, but we've established a law, gentlemen. If you smell
because you've been like working hard and it's that sweat
of a man who has been at work all day
or at rugby.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Physical, yes.

Speaker 8 (37:45):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (37:46):
Yes, that smell across the board the ladies have messaged
in are on board with. The stink you get when
you are, like, rotting in bed, doing a bit of
a bed rot, and you're laying around doing nothing, and
your body's just like.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
Sour.

Speaker 6 (38:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (38:00):
It gets a bit sticky, and your armpits get a
bit sticky, and then you smell it, and you're like, poo, poo, poo.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
I like that, but poo.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Or the smell of a nerd at Armageddon.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Exactly.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
Yes, that's different to the smell of a guy who's, like,
been working outside, and, you know, like... Got a fresh
sweat on. But it's like if you take off your
shoes and you've got stinky socks, like now I'm immediately
back off.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
Kate said I call it the tang. I love my
husband's tang.

Speaker 5 (38:26):
Tangy.

Speaker 7 (38:27):
Message, that I don't know if I'd say it too
loud in public. Someone said, absolutely depends on the man.
I'm early pregnant, says 453. So every human on this
planet smells horrible. The idea of a smelly man is
making me feel sick.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
Oh, sorry. I love me a dirty daddy.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
One of the things I found most attractive about my
now husband was his smell when he's a bit sweaty
from working hard all day.

Speaker 7 (38:48):
Met when I was 23. I'm 29 now. I've been
married three years.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
Couldn't be happier. I swear matches are better if you
love their smell.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Yeah, right. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 7 (38:55):
I love my partner's natural scent. Even after the gym,
I find it comforting and safe. After some not so
great relationships, I think he's my soulmate, and it's a
lot to do with the smell.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
I do like, I mean, I love the smell of
some skin, and I love to sniff my cat. You
know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Oh, yeah, my cat smells real nice.

Speaker 4 (39:14):
You're so good. You're so good.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
That's cat maxing.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
That's cat maxing.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
That's cat maxing.

Speaker 6 (39:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
You just like sniff them. You're like, God, you do
such a good job of cleaning yourself, you clever boy.
Who taught you that? Not me. Give us a text 9696,
but please give us a call 0800 dial ZDM if
you have a work voice. Because Brits, particularly East London, yeah,

(39:40):
are very likely to tweak pronunciation and their accents a
little bit in order to be taken seriously in the workplace. Now,
we across New Zealand don't have like huge accent changes,
Southland a little bit. But in the UK, it's like intense.
The north is so different from the south. East is

(40:01):
different to west. Yeah, it's all over the place. Yeah, totally.
And some of them come across, I guess, as a
bit more working class. Yes. You know, or like your
Cockney accents or whatnot, or your northern. And so a
lot of Brits were saying that they do have a
work job A work voice.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Sorry, a work job.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
I've got a work job. I've got a job. Mummy,
I've got a work job. A work voice so that
I guess they've seen with a little bit more status,
respect and whatnot. I sort of feel.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Because I myself.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
Have employed a work voice for a little more respect.
And it doesn't quite fit the show, I don't feel. No, no.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
This is actually my real voice, what you're hearing now.

Speaker 7 (40:43):
And then, of course, I just relax into it and
come across a more casual and everyday man.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
Yes. Whatever it were. I was definitely told.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
There definitely be people in customer service that would put
on a voice.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
For sure.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Oh, 100%.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
Hi there, welcome.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
How can I help you?

Speaker 4 (40:59):
Hi there, welcome.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Yeah, hi, how are you?

Speaker 7 (41:01):
Because, yeah, have you ever done one of those punishing
training modules where they need to hear your smile? Yes.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
I understand you're feeling frustrated by the fact that your
product did arrive broken, Miss Sproul. I am trying to
remedy that with my manager, but can I just put
you on hold?

Speaker 3 (41:16):
Thank you for calling me a bitch, sir. I'll just
put you on hold and I'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
Thank you so much for that review of my personality.
I'll let my mother know. Okay.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
This is great. Well, we want you to give us
a call, 0800 DARS.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
I mean, you can text through if you're called out
for your customer service voice or maybe you definitely do this,
but we'd love to hear some examples.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
I think it's got to be an 0800.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
Yeah, we've got so many people on the phone at
the moment. Can we kick one off and then we'll
come back? Yeah, let's do it. All right, Tom. Tom's here. Hello, Tom.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Hi, how you going?

Speaker 4 (41:47):
Yeah, how you doing, mate? How are you, Tom? So
what's your job and what's your work voice?

Speaker 1 (41:56):
I won't tell you my job, but my work voice is,
I've been called.

Speaker 6 (42:00):
Out for dropping a few octaves when I answer the phone.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
Oh, really?

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Really? I'll call you answer, okay?

Speaker 4 (42:07):
Ring, ring, ring, ring.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Kia ora, Tom, speaking.

Speaker 5 (42:10):
Oh!

Speaker 3 (42:14):
Yeah, you did drop a few then.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
That's really.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
Is your job authoritative?

Speaker 4 (42:21):
It is, well, it tries not to be.

Speaker 6 (42:23):
It's more rehabilitative than authoritative.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
Right.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
Relaxing, calm, strong, reassuring.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (42:31):
Quite often I get the phone call. kind of dad
mode kicks in.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Yeah, gotcha.

Speaker 5 (42:39):
Gotcha.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Gotcha. All right, Big Daddy. Yeah, thanks, Tom.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
We'll let you get back to it.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Georgia's bloody... Lucky Georgia's not on the line.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
Georgia, you've got Georgia bloody hot and bothered, haven't you?

Speaker 4 (42:49):
He's clearly from the South Island, eh? You can tell.
Are you from the South, Tom? I'll go back to Tom.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
No.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (42:56):
Excuse me. Excuse you.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
Stereotyping. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
That's island phobic, actually, Georgia. Yeah. Tom does sound hot. Okay, 0800.
Tom did sound hot.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
Can we just go show our hands?

Speaker 4 (43:06):
Everybody that thought Tom sounded hot? Fletch, yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Yeah, everybody.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Everybody. It's unanimous.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
I was told I had a voice for radio, but
you guys don't really... We don't really do a radio
voice in that typical way that maybe you would have
been taught.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
No. Back in the day, they were always like, good morning,
good morning. I tell you what, it's going to be
a beautiful day out there today.

Speaker 6 (43:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (43:27):
You can hear the smile on my face and my
mouth opening far more than it needs to.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
Far more.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
Because we're broadcasting professionals.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
Knowing you both as on-air friends and genuine friends, and
I think it does come across. I think you can
hear it in the show. We do talk like ourselves,
maybe just a little bit more energised.

Speaker 6 (43:45):
Louder.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
And louder. just by having microphones. But, yes, we want
to know your work voice. We have a barrage of calls.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Great.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
Should we start at the top?

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Yeah, we'll start at the top, work the way down.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
Madison, good morning. Good morning.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
Now, are we hearing your casual voice or your work
voice right now?

Speaker 8 (44:04):
A bit of a mix because the social anxiety just
kicked in.

Speaker 4 (44:07):
Yes, the performance of like, I'm on air. This is
a weird thing. The nation's listening to me. I understand that.
It's a weird thing that we do. Can you tell
us what your job is?

Speaker 8 (44:19):
Yeah, I work in customer service and sales support.

Speaker 6 (44:22):
For a Christian company.

Speaker 4 (44:23):
For a Christian company? Yeah.

Speaker 8 (44:25):
Yeah, and I'm a dairy farmer's daughter who he always
said if he walked into a church, he'd catch on fire.

Speaker 4 (44:30):
So it's a bit of a weird thing. Well, how
do you sell Christians?

Speaker 3 (44:33):
What does a Christian go for these days?

Speaker 7 (44:35):
And where can I lodge a complaint about some of
the things Christians have done?

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
We're good people.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
We're good people, I swear.

Speaker 5 (44:42):
Oh, we love it.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
And we welcome our Christian listeners. We do apologize for
some of the things we say sometimes. Oh, no, I
say the C word, it's fine.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Don't say that on air.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
Christ, Christ.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
She means Christ, of course, our saviour.

Speaker 4 (44:52):
So, Madison, if you were calling me a Christian and
you would call me, no, I've called you and I
will do a little role play and you give me,
Madison's daughter of a dairy farmer, give me your Christian
customer service voice. Ring, ring.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
Ring, ring. Ring, ring. Hi there, this is Madison speaking.
How can I help you?

Speaker 4 (45:13):
Hi, Madison. I am just looking for more Christ in
my life.

Speaker 6 (45:18):
That's awesome. I can get you through to our support
team and they can set you up as a member.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
Yes, Madison.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:24):
Hi.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
That's good.

Speaker 4 (45:25):
Madison, I'm calling with a complaint.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
My cross has fallen over.

Speaker 4 (45:31):
My recommendation is you put it back up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's sort of a let's just pick it up thing.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
I like that though. Madison, thank you.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Our friend Matt, who's a teacher, has messaged us in
the group chat saying that we would diet his teacher voice.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
So, because Matt sometimes wants to just tell you that
this person is a bitch. You know what I mean?
That's Matt's. That's Matt has kind of like a, do
you have any tea voice? Yeah. I would love to
hear Matt's teacher voice, but let's hear Kat. Kat, are
you a teacher as well?

Speaker 6 (46:04):
I'm a teacher aide. Okay.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
You've got quite an energised voice. A bit assertive as well.
I had some, you know.

Speaker 6 (46:12):
It's also called the social anxiety.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
Oh, lovely to have you.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
Fantastic. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 4 (46:21):
So Kat, okay, I'll role play as a kid, okay?
And you do your teacher voice. Miss Kat, piss my pants.

Speaker 6 (46:31):
Okay, let's go and get your school bag.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
What do we hate you?

Speaker 5 (46:37):
Hey.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
Oh, I do love that you slip into like, oh,
have you now? Well, that's okay.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
It sounded caring though, didn't it?

Speaker 4 (46:49):
Very caring. Kat, is it sometimes hard to put on
this voice?

Speaker 6 (46:53):
Yes.

Speaker 8 (46:54):
But also because I'm English, my accent changes a lot
when I'm talking to.

Speaker 6 (46:59):
Children, especially with phonics. I have to loosen my vowels
and relax them to sound more Kiwi.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Oh, yes, because vowels. Yes, right.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Do you have a partner?

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Do you go home and sometimes speak to them like
you're speaking to the children and they have to be like, OK, look,
I'm not a kid.

Speaker 6 (47:19):
Well, he acts like one sometimes.

Speaker 4 (47:21):
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. We wouldn't if we didn't have to, Fletch.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
It would be lovely if we could get.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
These dishes off the bench, wouldn't it? Oh, look at you.
You managed to put your socks in the basket. Well
done to you.

Speaker 5 (47:35):
And you never say good girl or good boy.

Speaker 6 (47:37):
You say good job because you want them to know
that the job is good and not just that they're
good because they've done something.

Speaker 7 (47:44):
See, I'm dealing with a woman in my life and
she loves being called a good girl.

Speaker 6 (47:50):
I have children in the car.

Speaker 4 (47:53):
Oh, you have children. She's definitely not a child.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Thank you for joining us on the show. Very much
a woman.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
Now, next to give us their work voice. Fawn, apologise.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
To who? Amy, everyone. She likes to call a good girl. Also,
good job. She particularly likes my good girl.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
Oh, yeah. Right in the ear. Look at me. Grab. So, now,
our next caller to give us their work voice is
Hamish Hamish Chocolate Man. Welcome back, Hamish Hamish Chocolate Man.

Speaker 6 (48:22):
Morning, how are you?

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Hamish, we've completely forgotten what we called you, Hamish Hamish
Chocolate Man in our system, and we don't want to know.

Speaker 4 (48:28):
We don't want to know. Hamish Hamish Chocolate Man, where
do you work? What's your job?

Speaker 6 (48:33):
So I work in a call centre for an electronics retailer.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
Oh my God, amazing. Okay.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
Well, I'm calling up because my light-up Jesus cross is broken.
And the Christian company wanted nothing to do with it. Ring, ring. Ring, ring.

Speaker 6 (48:44):
Good morning. Thank you for calling my company. How can
I help? Oh. Oh, yes.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
That was official. I didn't find that confrontational. It was official,
but like soft. Tell me about your cross. Tell me
about your cross. Oh, my light up LED cross.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
It fell over.

Speaker 7 (48:59):
And the Christian company just told me that I should
put it back up.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
But now the lights don't work.

Speaker 6 (49:04):
Okay, so I hear you. Do you happen to have
your receipt number so I can look that up for you?

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
Acknowledgement of, like, I hear you. I hear your problem.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Yes, I hear you.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
Yeah, I've got my receipt number.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
It's 5577-22814.

Speaker 6 (49:17):
Perfect. I can see that that's still within warranty.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
Oh, Hamish Hamish Chocolate Man. Hamish Hamish Chocolate Man. Thanks,
Hamish Hamish Chocolate Man. You're much better to do that.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
I liked her.

Speaker 7 (49:32):
I liked her too, but she didn't want me to
put my cross on. I wanted someone to come put
the cross back up. I had to do it myself.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
Hamish, thank you.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
Hamish Hamish Chocolate Man. Hamish Hamish Chocolate Man. Lisette is here,
also a teacher, I believe.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Yes, I am.

Speaker 4 (49:46):
Yes. Now, what age range do you teach? I'm a
high school teacher. Oh, God.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
You'd have to have a stern teacher voice.

Speaker 7 (49:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (49:56):
Okay, I'll do one. Hey, Miss Lisette, you're a bitch. Sorry.
Unappropriate use of language within the classroom. Why don't you
mind this language, bitch? You suck.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
You and I will go outside of the classroom and
we'll have a little discussion about your behaviour.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
You and I. Kind of turned on, Miss Lissette. Kind of. Wow.
Kind of turned on.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
That's so good.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Do you have to deal, Lissette, with like little shitbags?

Speaker 3 (50:36):
Well, sometimes, but most of my students are pretty good.

Speaker 6 (50:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (50:40):
Okay, so praise one. Do you give us an example
of how you'd praise one in your work?

Speaker 4 (50:44):
Miss Lisette, Miss Lisette, I got an excellence in my
art project. That's fantastic.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
Why don't you show me what it is that you
did to get that excellence?

Speaker 4 (50:53):
It's a picture of you eating poo.

Speaker 7 (50:57):
Oh, Jesus.

Speaker 10 (50:59):
Poor Miss Lisette.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
She's not even going outside.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
And have another chat.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
I'm not going to dignify that with a response, Hayley.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
So good. Miss Lissette, I think I need to be
told to go to the hallway.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
Oh, my God. Miss Lissette. That is amazing. Thanks, Miss Lissette.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (51:19):
Have a good day, Miss Lissette. Someone messaged in saying,
I love my husband's dad voice when the kids are naughty.
There and there. Oh, yes.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
Turn him off. Right. He gets home and she's like,
kids have been naughty straight away. Have they?

Speaker 6 (51:34):
What did they do?

Speaker 4 (51:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
Just going to tell them off.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
Little angels doing their homework in the bedroom.

Speaker 7 (51:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
And he's like, your mother said you've been naughty.

Speaker 6 (51:39):
What?

Speaker 11 (51:39):
What?

Speaker 4 (51:40):
We did the dishes. We did everything.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
We've been doing everything.

Speaker 4 (51:43):
Father, we love my mum.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Father, we've been nothing but a pleasure for mother.

Speaker 4 (51:46):
No dessert.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
Mum's like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:52):

Speaker 9 (51:54):
Play ZM's Flesh, Ron and Hayley.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
Well, it's time for... Fact of the.

Speaker 4 (52:02):
Day, day, day, day, day.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
It's electricity week.

Speaker 4 (52:08):
Here at Fact of the Day. And today I'm going
to tell you a whole lot of.

Speaker 5 (52:13):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
Oh, for fuck's sake. He's useless, isn't he?

Speaker 4 (52:27):
You literally had a hooey before with Carwen about this.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
Carwen, she threatened me.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
No, she buzzed in and said, and now what are
we doing today? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
Like you're a baby now?

Speaker 7 (52:36):
And then I turned around and she, like, shook a fist,
as in you better remember. Fact of the day is
what you were saying.

Speaker 4 (52:40):
Actually, she shook a fist. Come punch him. Come in, Carwen.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Give him a punch.

Speaker 4 (52:44):
No, she doesn't want to punch. I'll do it. She
doesn't want to punch. I'll punch him. I don't know
how hard you can punch.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
You've never punched me before. It's got to be hard.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
Oh, that was piss weak, actually.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Do it again, then. Oh, you're left-handed.

Speaker 11 (52:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
Okay, go. Okay.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
Don't miss and punch me in the face.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
You're punching a weird part of the arm. It was
so low. It was so low. Why would you punch there?
You don't punch just above the elbow. That's criminal. I'll
punch you where I want. Do the bloody St.

Speaker 5 (53:12):
Pierre's.

Speaker 4 (53:12):
That was from St. Pierre's, by the way. You punch
here in the fleshy part. No, I punched him in
the tricep.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
Got you.

Speaker 4 (53:18):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
St. Pierre's brings you today's fact of the day.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
I was just changing things up.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
I don't think they've paid for a specific word order.
They just want the words.

Speaker 4 (53:27):
Said, you know. 9696, if you work for St. Pierre's,
do you want me to punch them again in this time?
Don't punch them.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
9696, if you're going to punch someone in the arm, like, joke, joke.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
It's not a joke.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
You don't punch just above the elbow.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
You screw this up every day. It's not a joke.
You punch in the fleshy part of the arm.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Fact of the day is brought to you by St. Pierre's.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Fact!

Speaker 4 (53:44):
Today's sushi of the.

Speaker 7 (53:45):
Day is eight pieces of tasty tuna mayo for only $ 8. 40. Okay,
so it's electricity week, and I was like, why is
a vault called a vault? Why is an amp called
an amp? And today we find out the origins of
a lot of electrical terms.

Speaker 4 (54:01):
Okay. For electricity. Buzz.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
Spoiler alert, a lot of them are just dead scientists.

Speaker 6 (54:06):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
Amp is named after André-Marie Ampere, a French physicist and magician.

Speaker 4 (54:11):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (54:14):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (54:14):
Mathematician. No, keep magician. Magician.

Speaker 7 (54:17):
He worked out there was a mathematical relationship between electricity
and magnetism.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
Boom, he gets a unit of current named after him.

Speaker 7 (54:23):
Amp.

Speaker 4 (54:23):
Amp. Amplifier, that's what we say, like plug into the amp. Yeah,
amp it up.

Speaker 6 (54:28):
Ohm.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
You know OHM? Yes. Ohm.

Speaker 7 (54:31):
That's named after George Simon Ohm, who was German, and
he worked out the law. That was the relationship between voltage, current,
and resistance. And he was mocked for it. But who's
laughing now? Because he's got a unit named after him. Watt,
as in wattage or how many watts, is named after
James Watt, a Scottish inventor.

Speaker 4 (54:51):
We're lacking a lot of female representation here, aren't we? Yeah.
The next one sounds female, but it's not.

Speaker 7 (54:57):
Volt, Alessandro Volta, an Italian physicist, built the first true
battery in 1800, so he got Volt named after him.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
Wow. Wow.

Speaker 7 (55:06):
Then there's Hertz. It's after Heinrich Hertz. Hertz Rentals. Yes,
of course, Hertz Rentals. He's a German physicist.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
Heimlich Hertz.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
Heinrich Hertz.

Speaker 4 (55:15):
Heinrich. Heinrich. Is it H-E-N-R-I-C-H?

Speaker 10 (55:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:21):
Henrique, like Eric? That's the French pronunciation.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
Henrique. Henrique.

Speaker 6 (55:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
The jewel, as in we'll be familiar with like killer jewels, right?

Speaker 4 (55:29):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
There's a thousand jewels.

Speaker 7 (55:31):
It's named after James Jewell, an English physicist, who was
a brewer by trade but got.

Speaker 4 (55:36):
Into physics on the side.

Speaker 6 (55:37):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
I do, yeah, love to dabble in physics on the side.

Speaker 4 (55:41):
Do you dabble in a bit of physics? Dabble in
physics while you're drinking beer.

Speaker 11 (55:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:46):
Dangerous. And electricity. Dangerous. Could be very, very dangerous.

Speaker 7 (55:50):
So today's fact of the day for Electricity Week is
most of the terms you hear around electricity are actually
just named after old dead white men.

Speaker 3 (55:59):
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Speaker 4 (56:05):
I do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Shannon's Hack. If you see a faded sign
at the side of the road that says.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
15 miles to a Shannon's Hack.

Speaker 4 (56:27):
Shannon's Hack, baby. Now, producer Shannon, your last hack got
you basically dropped off the Sky Tower.

Speaker 5 (56:38):
Yeah, that was crazy for me, you guys.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
Yeah, it was. Where are we thematically today?

Speaker 5 (56:44):
This is a bit of a social media hack, I
would say.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
Well, this is good because mine is dwindling.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Not that kind of hack.

Speaker 5 (56:52):
You keep ignoring my advice.

Speaker 4 (56:54):
Yeah, well, no, I posted a reel at the time
you told me to post a reel and it absolutely
fell flat. Maybe it's the reel. Do you think it
was one of my best jokes of my show and
then no one laughed? Terribly painful. Really painful.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
She's spiralling, she's spiralling.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
You're okay.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
You're okay. She can only do so much, Hayley.

Speaker 8 (57:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
She can't make the content better, can she?

Speaker 11 (57:18):
No.

Speaker 4 (57:19):
Anyway, Shannon.

Speaker 5 (57:21):
So personally, I use apps like TikTok and Reels. To,
you know, get many ports of inspiration. I'll get recipes
from there. I'll get crochet ideas. I know, Hayley, you
get renovation, vintage ideas.

Speaker 6 (57:33):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (57:33):
But it can be quite hard to just have all
of them in your liked videos. You know, your saved
folder is just a bit of a mishmash of things.

Speaker 4 (57:40):
You never go back. It's like screenshotting shit on your phone.
You're like, remember that for later.

Speaker 5 (57:44):
And then you'll be like, what was that potato recipe?
And it's just lost in the abyss.

Speaker 4 (57:48):
Yum. Boiled. Oh, classic. In a pot?

Speaker 3 (57:51):
Yeah, classic, with a mint leaf and then some butter.

Speaker 4 (57:53):
Yeah, a mint leaf and butter. Baby potatoes only. Of course.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
My hack for you today is instead of just saving
videos willy-nilly and losing them.

Speaker 4 (58:01):
To the abyss.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
I want you to utilise your DMs more often. So,
my hack is, if you find a recipe, maybe we
could use the celebrity Alex Warren. Every time I see
a recipe, I'm sending that to Alex Warren. And I
remember now, if I want to find a recipe, I'll
go to my DMs with Alex.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
Alex Warren is a dear friend of this show.

Speaker 5 (58:19):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
Wait, so you're saying he's never replying. He's too busy.

Speaker 5 (58:22):
He's not going to see it.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
But then what if he is just going, and he's like,
why does this bitch keep sending me recipes?

Speaker 4 (58:28):
But then he'll love Daniel's point of view.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
Yeah, unsubscribe.

Speaker 7 (58:31):
And all of a sudden he's piling on heaps of
weight and he's like, this woman just keeps sending me
these delicious recipes and I have my chef cook them
for me.

Speaker 5 (58:37):
You can use different celebrities for different things. So then
maybe I could send to Ashley Tisdale some renovation. Crazy.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
That's why I went to Ashley Tisdale.

Speaker 5 (58:47):
You could just pick a celebrity for each thing. For crochet,
I might send it to Miley, famously, now.

Speaker 4 (58:53):
Not Miley Cyrus. Previously known as Miley Cyrus.

Speaker 5 (58:55):
Yeah, and I'll just now remember these celebrities. Every time
I'm hungry, I'll go, Alex, what should I cook?

Speaker 3 (59:01):
And then go to your inbox. If we were back
at that Skytel, you'd be going off twice.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
I'd push her off unharnessed. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
This sucks.

Speaker 4 (59:10):
Someone said there's literally a thing called collections.

Speaker 9 (59:12):
Yeah, I use this.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
That's what I thought you were going to say.

Speaker 4 (59:14):
I'm like, I use it all the time. I've got
different ones.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
I've got one called stretching, one called recipes. You could
even call it potato recipes.

Speaker 4 (59:20):
Do you have a stretch? Sorry, pause. Stretching. Got a
stretching album, old man.

Speaker 11 (59:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
Oh, man.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
I know, lower back. I think I've got tight hip flexors.

Speaker 4 (59:28):
That's what I'm all.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
Oh, yeah, I've got type A flexes as well.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
Dude, and they pull on the back. Oh, well.

Speaker 5 (59:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (59:35):
It's just like a vagina, Joe.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
What are you referring to? I'm going to need clarification on.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
I don't mean you're quite saggy.

Speaker 5 (59:44):
Right, right.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
So you said it's the only thing that's tight on me.

Speaker 4 (59:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Someone said just DM it to your
own profile rather than spamming poor random people. No, she's
saying Alex Warren's recipes.

Speaker 5 (59:54):
Ashley Tisdale for renovations. Miley for crochet.

Speaker 7 (59:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (59:59):
Also, like, what if this gets her seen by someone
like Alex Warren?

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:00:03):
Because they go into their requests and there's this girl sending.

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
Them a bunch. But it's not a great impression. If
you want to talk to a celebrity, I don't reckon
I'm bombarding them with crafting and crochet ideas.

Speaker 7 (01:00:12):
Hacks.

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
They're not going to see it, though, if they don't
follow her. No offense, Shannon. No, they might go to
the request.

Speaker 5 (01:00:18):
Someone said they're just going to start DMing me their
favourite reason.

Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
Yeah, you asked for it. I'll take it. I'd love that. Brilliant.
I think this is bad. People are saying you just
make a saved collection or a photo.

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
That's literally what collections is.

Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
It literally is.

Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
Last night I went to a sauna and I walked
in and I was wearing... Bro, you finally admitted it. Wait,
I'm sorry, a gay sauna.

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
Yeah, I went to a gay sauna. Did you do
things or did you just look?

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
No, not a single man. There was other men there,
not a single one. Touched me or wanted to or implied.

Speaker 7 (01:00:43):
I don't know if I was missing some hints or tips.

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
Wrong sauna.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
Yeah, I think it was just a standard public sauna. Wait,
you actually went to a sauna?

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
Yeah, I went to a sauna. And you know when
I walked in.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
But not a gay one or a gay one?

Speaker 4 (01:00:53):
No, no, it was a.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
Which one?

Speaker 4 (01:00:53):
Gays, heteros, everybody. Them bays.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
Oh, right.

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
Everybody's welcome at this sauna.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
Were there holes in the wall?

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
No holes. Oh, there was.

Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
There was like.

Speaker 7 (01:01:02):
But I think it was just, you know, the wood
gets rotten after a certain amount of time.

Speaker 4 (01:01:05):
I wouldn't have stuck my.

Speaker 6 (01:01:07):
Wood?

Speaker 7 (01:01:07):
I wouldn't have stuck my penis through the hole in
the wall.

Speaker 4 (01:01:10):
You would have got splinters. Oh, it's $ 8. 51.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
It wasn't. Children in the car, please.

Speaker 4 (01:01:14):
Please.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
What are the implications?

Speaker 4 (01:01:16):
Mummy, why would there be a hole in the wall?

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
Now I've got to explain that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
It rots.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Anyway, I wouldn't put anything in it. And, you know,
I walked into the.

Speaker 7 (01:01:23):
Afterwards, I walked into the shower a bit to shower off,
and it's the first time I've thought, the pads on
the feet wasn't a bad hack.

Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:01:31):
Thank you. Thank you. I agree.

Speaker 7 (01:01:34):
The first time I walked in, I was just like,
I could kind of get an ooh.

Speaker 4 (01:01:39):
But I get it. Better than ooh, yeah. Yeah, ooh,
but better than.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
I was in Crocs, but there was a dude in barefoot,
and I was just like... He could do with some
pads on his feet.

Speaker 4 (01:01:46):
Shannon, this is a two. I think you can say
it's a two. It's a one. It's a two because
it's something that exists in a better way.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:01:55):
You're harassing celebrities. You're reinventing the.

Speaker 7 (01:01:57):
Wheel, but you're not making a wheel. You're just making
a cube or something and being like, kind of the same, guys.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
Kind of the same.

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
Okay, so what are we saying, 1.5 or 1 overall?

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
We should just do 1 for tidiness. 1 for tidiness.
It already exists in a better way. You could have
rounded up Swedish. Nah, we're going Norwegian. Actually, if we
were Swedish rounding 1, you'd get 0. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Oh, sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:02:15):
Do you want Swedish? No, I'm on, I'm on. No,
you'll take your 1 then. Yeah, 1's good. Thanks.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
All right, hit it for me.

Speaker 4 (01:02:20):
All right, crank it, Georgia. I said throwback to the 90s.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
But this is where it was born, but it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
Thrived in the 2000s. Why? Because... I know what you're
going to talk about. And I always thought it was
more of an early 2000s.

Speaker 6 (01:02:46):
2000s.

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
Christine Aguilera led a discharge on a bit of this.

Speaker 4 (01:02:48):
Yeah, because she went blonde hair, black streaks. So I
read an article on Beloved Cosmopolitan where we learned how
to do all sorts of fun things.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
Is that website still blocked by the IT department because
they think it's smart?

Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
Pornography. Yeah, yesterday I was trying to read an article about, oh,
we were talking about Pillow Talk. And there was one
article on Pillow Talk, which is, you know, like connecting
with your partner after nerve-macking. and it flagged it as
outright pornography, which was funny. But I'm back on it today,
so my complaints were. Oh, great. Now, this article from Cosmo,

(01:03:21):
five early 2000s hairstyles that are suddenly cool again. And
I was like, oh, yeah, love this. We know the
Y2K trends everywhere. Yeah, definitely. Get these, okay? The flippy cut.
Georgia joins us, by the way. The flippy cut. So
this was the choppy pixie cut that you, like, flipped
out to the sides. Oh, yeah. Apparently that's bad. You

(01:03:41):
straightened the sides out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Flip, flip, flip, flip,
and you had it all choppy and whatnot. Some of
these are fine face framing layers, hair clips galore, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But here's the one I want to talk about the most.
Chunky highlights, a.k.a.

Speaker 7 (01:03:57):
The mince and cheese. The Christchurch mince and cheese. Christchurch,
and I say this with love. The ladies at Christchurch
held on to that for years after it was acceptable.

Speaker 6 (01:04:07):
Really?

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
Did we?

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
I don't, I actually, I mean, you went for it. No,
I had a chunky highlight, don't I?

Speaker 8 (01:04:13):
I did.

Speaker 4 (01:04:14):
Mum put that cap on me and then pulled through the, like,
the bits through the holes. And then you blonde there.
And then you pull that off. Hey, Dee. So she
famously hates being called AD, by the way. AD. Famously.

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
She was flirting with Fletch before. George's mum was flirting
with Fletch.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
She just said you look fit.

Speaker 11 (01:04:34):
Take it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:34):
Thank you. You watch it. Does George's mum want to
have sex with Fletch?

Speaker 7 (01:04:39):
George's mum wants to mount Fletch.

Speaker 3 (01:04:42):
Do you know who also loves a chunky Vaughan, please?

Speaker 4 (01:04:45):
Please behave. We're actually still at work.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
She is a married woman.

Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
What were you going to say, Fletch? Hasn't stopped you before,
you dirty dog. What?

Speaker 6 (01:04:52):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
Are you okay today?

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
Do you know who loves a chunky highlight? Real estate agents.

Speaker 4 (01:04:59):
Oh, yes.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
Heather from Harcourts will be leading this charge.

Speaker 4 (01:05:02):
A chunky highlight with the flippy cut. That's it. Key carries.
This is bloody, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
But also, as a chunky highlight, remember the when.

Speaker 7 (01:05:10):
The top part would be a different colour to the underneath.
And it would be like hidden and you'd shake your
hair and it was two different colours.

Speaker 4 (01:05:16):
That was the official mince and cheese though, right?

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
That was the official mince and cheese.

Speaker 4 (01:05:19):
Because it was blonde on top and then mince underneath. Yeah,
cheese on top, mince underneath. But I remember the first
time getting highlights, because now if you get highlights, women
in particular will know, they'll pull a section of hair
and they go, and they weave a tail comb through
it so that only half of it, so it's super
blended and melty. Whereas we used to just grab a chunk,

(01:05:40):
that bit's blonde, leave a chunk, that bit's brown. And apparently, like,
the young gals are going, we love this. No. Kelly Clarkson,
I've got a photo of her here rocking a mince
cheese stripe. Next minute, they're going to be on that
sun in. They're going to put the sun in. Sun
silk custom highlights. Man, I went, I left intermediate and

(01:06:02):
went to high school with a head full of sun
silk custom highlights. And I didn't highlight. I just got
the moods. and did my whole hair, and I'd go
out in the sun and be like, bake. And it
was gingy. Sun in.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
Was that what that stuff was called back in the
day too? Sun in.

Speaker 4 (01:06:16):
Yeah, sun in. Sun silk custom highlights. I used to
tell people that it was au naturel, and then I
never used it. I was like, oh, my God, my
hair just goes like this. Oh, my God, I know.
I'm actually a natural blonde when I was born, but
now the sun just kisses up. Anyway, this is one
I'm going to be, I'm going to sit this one out,
the chunky highlights. Yep, you're returning the chunky highlight.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
Isanata for me.

Speaker 9 (01:06:38):
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
Basic things that you have to do to help your partner.
Maybe a bit of a man-child. Maybe you're dealing with
a man-child. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:06:48):
You could be dealing with a useless Susan too.

Speaker 4 (01:06:52):
Maybe.

Speaker 11 (01:06:53):
Actually, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:06:53):
A useless Susan.

Speaker 8 (01:06:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
Sometimes I do need a little like.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
You play up the damsel in distress. Yeah, that face.

Speaker 4 (01:07:00):
A little bit, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
Help.

Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
This was an article about a woman asking, I guess,
the internet if it's okay that she dresses her husband
and takes charge because he's got no idea.

Speaker 4 (01:07:13):
I think if it's a fashion thing, like you don't
know how to construct a good outfit and they want
you to look good, I'm into it. If you were
incapable of just like putting on pants and realising like
what you should and shouldn't wear to certain things, that's
a bit ick for me.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Yeah, so you'd step in and you'd be like, okay,
you're just wearing this. And some guys might actually like that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
If a guy was able to dress himself and said, like,
I want to wear, you know, like this weird nerdy
sort of child's Pokemon. t-shirt and like some like kind
of crap old cheap jeans and like an old beanie
that's like probably stinks and like hasn't been washed all winter.
Do you know what I mean? And then sort of
wrap it up with like a nice ponami that just
like sort of is being tarnished by this kind of
crap outfit. Kind of weirdly specific there. I'm like that's,

(01:07:57):
you know, because he's clearly been able to put this
on himself. But if I wanted him to look better,
more attractive and fashionable and more approachable, then I'd maybe
step in. Vaughn, are you okay? What's up?

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
Is that a tear?

Speaker 4 (01:08:13):
It's one at each eye. He was sort of like
works in like a soft sit-down kind of corporate job,
but he wears like work boots that you would do
like felling trees. Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
Yeah, or in a mine.

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
Yeah, like a mine worker would wear.

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
They literally sent to me from one of.

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
Our listeners, shout out Thomas who works in the mines.
Everyone who doesn't know you, Vaughn. Comes up and sees
you and is like, why are you wearing work boots?
Why is he wearing work boots? I get it all
the time. And someone actually.

Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
Threw a comment on one of our social posts, been like,
Vaughn's big, ugly work boots are the modern equivalent of
DC skate shoes.

Speaker 4 (01:08:44):
Yes, the big, fat work boots. And I was like, wow.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
Which, by the way, are back in fashion.

Speaker 4 (01:08:49):
I'm back, baby.

Speaker 7 (01:08:50):
I wear them because they're comfortable. I don't have to
undo the laces. But this is a workplace, bro. It's
got great arch support. I hate to say it, sometimes
I get sore arches.

Speaker 4 (01:08:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
Okay, well, you can get an insert from show sponsor.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
Kim's Warehouse if you're worried about your arches.

Speaker 7 (01:09:04):
But if I was going to a formal event, I'd
just say, what shall I wear? Because I don't want
to have to put something on and come out and
be told it's not quite right and go back and
do it again.

Speaker 4 (01:09:14):
Yeah, I don't mind doing that.

Speaker 7 (01:09:16):
If you care about this significantly more than I do,
you just tell me what to wear.

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
This is what we want to know this morning, and
you can give us a call, 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696. What basic thing
do you have to help your partner do?

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
Is it cooking?

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
Is it, like, are they so useless at something, you
just have to do it? And, I mean, that's weaponised incompetence.

Speaker 5 (01:09:35):
It is.

Speaker 3 (01:09:35):
For a start.

Speaker 4 (01:09:36):
But, you know, like, sometimes they don't get taught those things,
and it gets passed on to the partner. And you're like, cool,
all right. Your mother didn't. Do that, so I'll do it.

Speaker 7 (01:09:46):
We want to know what basic thing you have to
be helping your partner with. You know, you've got an
adult on your hands here, and they're struggling like a child.
And I tell you what, a few people saying wet
towels on the floor.

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 4 (01:09:59):
I would slap it across your face.

Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
That gives me the screaming shits.

Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:10:04):
A wet towel on the floor from an adult.

Speaker 8 (01:10:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:10:07):
Okay, so some other messages in. Somebody said budgeting. The
boy does not know how to not spend money.

Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
Oh, yeah, true.

Speaker 7 (01:10:17):
Buying his registration. It's literally the simplest task, and he
still doesn't know how to do it. That's weaponizing competence, actually.
I'd just give him the website and be like, figure
it out, big boy.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
We've got an anonymous caller. It's cooking for you.

Speaker 4 (01:10:30):
Is it anonymous?

Speaker 7 (01:10:31):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 4 (01:10:33):
So if you're not there to do the cooking, what
does he do to survive? So he'll probably just make
a bowl of cereal.

Speaker 11 (01:10:41):
My thing with cooking is if you don't eat food,
you die. And it's wild that adults get to a
point where they don't really know how to put nutrients
in their body.

Speaker 4 (01:10:55):
I know.

Speaker 6 (01:10:55):
And if I don't make him lunch, he won't take lunch.

Speaker 4 (01:10:59):
He'll just starve for the day. Oh my God, anonymous.
Christmas is coming up, the next kind of big gift-buying holiday.
That's a cooking lesson. Yeah, or even a recipe book.
What was his mum like?

Speaker 9 (01:11:15):
Well, probably the same, actually.

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:11:17):
Kind of, yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:11:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
That would make a lot of sense.

Speaker 7 (01:11:20):
Yeah, because I always remember my nan and my dad's
mum said, I've spoiled my husband. Like, he had a
mother who did everything for him, and I've done everything
for him, and I will not let it happen to
my boys. So my dad was always, like, super capable of, like,
whipping a meal up out of nothing and.

Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
Feeding himself if mum was away. But, yeah. Great skill
to have. Gotta stop that. Break that. I've got sons.

Speaker 3 (01:11:38):
As well, so I've been teaching them.

Speaker 6 (01:11:39):
They help me cook and everything.

Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
Good, good, good. It's not going to happen to them.

Speaker 4 (01:11:42):
I know.

Speaker 7 (01:11:43):
Good.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
And so a woman in their life is really, or
a man, are really going to appreciate it one day.

Speaker 4 (01:11:47):
Yeah, for sure, for sure.

Speaker 7 (01:11:49):
Yeah. All good.

Speaker 4 (01:11:50):
Thank you very much, anonymous.

Speaker 7 (01:11:50):
Thanks, and I'll still let you get back to the
kitchen probably. I don't know, the guy needs to be
fed three times a day. I'm assuming that's a full-time job.

Speaker 4 (01:11:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:11:56):
My missus loves gardening, but can't for the life of
her figure out how to connect the hose. I get
a call every other day, and I have to talk
her through connecting a hose. I've showed her multiple times,
but it just goes in one ear and out the other.

Speaker 4 (01:12:05):
That's from Leighton. Just click, isn't it?

Speaker 3 (01:12:09):
You just click. Just put the hose on and it
goes click and then take it off.

Speaker 4 (01:12:13):
So easy. Yeah. That's unusual.

Speaker 7 (01:12:15):
My boyfriend had hair that was longer than his shoulders.
I had to teach him that he should brush it
and how to brush it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (01:12:22):
When men have long hair or thick hair or something,
it's like that's, you think you've got a man's hair routine. No.

Speaker 7 (01:12:30):
I also had to teach this man you're meant to
brush your tongue when you brush your teeth too.

Speaker 4 (01:12:33):
Oh. I don't hit the tongue enough. I go hard
on the tongue. Yeah, I know that's why. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gag on it. Yeah, well, you're not known for your
gag reflex. Do you struggle, Fletch, brushing your tongue?

Speaker 3 (01:12:47):
How far back do you go?

Speaker 4 (01:12:49):
Poke your tongue out?

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
I just do the little.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
No, because I have to do throat swabs sometimes, and
I always put it in, and I'm like.

Speaker 6 (01:12:56):
Yes. I hate it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:57):
I hate it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:57):
Yeah, you're not bad. It's horrible. Vaughn, you're the worst
when we're COVID times.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
I almost have a chunny every single time.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
Anytime we were sick, we'd always go, okay, we'll do
a COVID test or something, and then Vaughn would be
there working himself up. And we'd always go, do the throat,
then the nose, and you're. Even thinking about it makes
me a little bit... Don't, don't, don't, don't start.

Speaker 7 (01:13:16):
My partner can rebuild a car from scratch, but in
the five years we've had kids, he still can't fold
down the pram. I had to teach my partner how
to moisturise his face. Jenny said, finding a towel. I've
been in the same place for 15 years. Where are
the towels?

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
Oh, God. In other words, bring me one.

Speaker 4 (01:13:32):
Yeah, yeah. What about men teaching women things?

Speaker 7 (01:13:37):
My husband cooks and picks my clothes for events we
have because I overthink it and then I give up
and we get nowhere and I sit down it's.

Speaker 4 (01:13:43):
Giving big ADHD right decision paralysis you just choose.

Speaker 7 (01:13:50):
Oh we have said somebody said don't blame mothers both
parents can impart life skills agreed but if the father's
useless he's not going to be able to teach the
son how to cook yes the father can teach them
all the other stuff yeah for sure sack in the dishwasher.

Speaker 4 (01:14:03):
Stacking the dishwasher.

Speaker 3 (01:14:04):
They said their partner can't do it. But then that's,
they don't want to be good at it. Yeah, don't
touch it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:09):
It's personal.

Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
You actually don't deserve a dishwasher.

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
It all comes out clean.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
I think no. I think it doesn't.

Speaker 4 (01:14:13):
It ruins the dishwasher.

Speaker 3 (01:14:15):
I think you should have to set a license to
get a dishwasher.

Speaker 4 (01:14:17):
My house, my dishwasher. I've never given you anything on
a dirty plate at my house.

Speaker 3 (01:14:21):
That was that TV show you did, didn't it?

Speaker 4 (01:14:22):
Yeah, My House, My Dishwasher. Season two.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):

Speaker 9 (01:14:28):
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
Now, let's just do a whip around our ages.

Speaker 7 (01:14:34):
Vaughan Smith at 44 will be turning 45 in February.

Speaker 4 (01:14:38):
Now, I, Hayley Sprown, 36, turning 37 next month.

Speaker 3 (01:14:43):
And I, Fletch, Fletcher, Fletchofferson, 47.

Speaker 7 (01:14:47):
47.

Speaker 4 (01:14:47):
We're turning 50 quite soon.

Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
The other day, I had to really stop and think.

Speaker 3 (01:14:54):
I was like, am I 46? No. I remember yours
because it's 10. You're 10 years older than me.

Speaker 4 (01:14:59):
Shannon's 26. I'm 36. You're 46. And then you go first,
and then we all kind of catch up. And then
you go. Yeah, you go.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
That's why we're having a joint 100th in three years.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
No, we're doing 90th.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
Oh, joint 90s.

Speaker 4 (01:15:12):
Excuse you.

Speaker 3 (01:15:13):
Sorry.

Speaker 7 (01:15:15):
You could have a joint 120th if you include Shannon.

Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
Yeah, we could. You're turning 50 the year that I
turn 40 and those are big milestones so that we're
going to have a joint 90th. It's going to be
90th themed. It's going to be on a boat. It's
going to be in Croatia. We've got it planned.

Speaker 3 (01:15:30):
It's going to be great.

Speaker 4 (01:15:30):
It's going to be so great. Well, at that age,
on that day.

Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
It's more than likely in three years that we can't
afford that and we'll be on the fuller's ferry.

Speaker 4 (01:15:38):
Fuller's ferry.

Speaker 3 (01:15:38):
Not Croatia.

Speaker 7 (01:15:39):
Either way, as long as you wrap me up in
a carpet and lob me off the back.

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
Not at 50, but... Not too long after. It's a party.
We've got a plan. It's a party time.

Speaker 7 (01:15:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:15:47):
Anyway, we need to start talking about the plan because
when we implement the plan, there's all this evidence that
you murdered your friend.

Speaker 7 (01:15:52):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:15:54):
We were joking. Anyway, so this was out of Britain,
but I think I kind of understand this. On that day,
on the boat in Croatia, when you turn 50 years old,
that will be the age where you will feel like
you finally have your life together.

Speaker 5 (01:16:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:16:10):
So you're approaching it, Fletch, but this was a survey.

Speaker 3 (01:16:13):
Wait, this is a study that's found the average age.

Speaker 4 (01:16:15):
A study from Cambridge was looking into this and it was,
you know, looking at maturity of brains, which in general,
regardless of gender or race or anything, is around the
32 mark that your brain is like fully matured. But
people were, it was more of an opinion based on
how they see their life as being sorted. 30% of

(01:16:36):
them said they feel nowhere near mature. close to having
life sorted. And 56% said that they think that no
one ever fully does.

Speaker 3 (01:16:43):
I don't think they do, no.

Speaker 4 (01:16:46):
Yeah, I remember talking to my dad about this, about
when should you feel like an adult? Because he's a
bit of a silly Billy. Yeah. You know what I mean?
He ran a company, but like silly Billy, funny guy,
always having a laugh, life of the party. And he
was like, I still don't. And he's got like two
adult children. And he's retired. He's retired. Like he's finished
his working life, but still doesn't kind of feel that way.

(01:17:08):
And then they were asked, what does it look like
to have your life together? And there was like the
top 20 signs that you've got your life together. I'll
just do the top 10. Okay. The 10th thing is
you've got work hours that you choose. The moment you're
a bit more flexibility, you're like, got my life together. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Ninth was having eco features like some solar things or

(01:17:31):
smart meters in the home. Very funny. Eight, a strong,
healthy friendship group, which we've got. Seven, you feel like
an adult when you've made your bed daily. Why do
I do that? Six, the sixth sign that you've got
it together, you know what day bin day is. Fifth
was you don't pay for unused subscriptions. Four, you say

(01:17:51):
no to things you don't want to do. That's a
big sign, like, I'm not doing that. Now, the top three,
admit when you're wrong. Number two, enjoy your own company.
And number one is having savings.

Speaker 3 (01:18:01):
What a lack of affiliation.

Speaker 7 (01:18:03):
I think I had one out of those 10. But
you're not 50 yet?

Speaker 4 (01:18:06):
I'm not 50.

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
I've got a few years.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):

Speaker 7 (01:18:10):
I don't want to belittle the work of hundreds of
dedicated Department of Conservation workers, professionals, vets, legends. But I
think I might be the key to de-extinction.

Speaker 4 (01:18:26):
What? How did we get in here?

Speaker 3 (01:18:28):
Inhumanity or? No, the humanity is stuffed.

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
And you know what?

Speaker 7 (01:18:32):
They've done it to themselves and they've got no one
to blame. I'm not going to de-extinct humanity.

Speaker 4 (01:18:35):
No, the sooner we're gone, the better.

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
This world is too people-y in my opinion.

Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
Nature will rebuild.

Speaker 7 (01:18:40):
I'm talking about the kakapo, which is a bird I
have had a personal involvement with. I went to Anchor
Island down south.

Speaker 4 (01:18:47):
Yes, and you touched one. A halibut.

Speaker 7 (01:18:50):
Do a health check on one, found one. It was
in the burrow, carried it in the sack. Like I
was a bad guy, but I was a good guy.
They've had a boom of breeding season, and it's the
first breeding season since I was there.

Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
Sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
I'm a von Aphrodisiac. I'm a von Aphrodisiac. You dropped
some of your spores. Yeah, yeah. Come on, guys, loosen up.
Let's get sexy. Guys, it's 2026.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
You had to fly by helicopter, and before you went,
you had to make sure that your sleeping bag was clean,
all your clothes had been, like, checked.

Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
It was honestly, when I was going through one of
the worst periods of my life, was one of my
life highlights. Going and seeing like the hard work of
these people. Well, there was a low bar at the time.

Speaker 4 (01:19:30):
It was extremely low. It was an extremely low bar
at the time. It was barley and the kakapo. Literally
nothing else.

Speaker 7 (01:19:36):
Barley was the year before. Barley the highlight. Barley a highlight.
This was a different sort of highlight. But yeah, it's
for the first time in 75 years, our population of kakapo,
which are found nowhere else in the world, the world's
heaviest flightless parrot, is over 300.

Speaker 4 (01:19:50):
They're so cool. They're so beautiful. I would like die
to see one in public. They're the goofiest, goofiest dudes.
Why are they goofy?

Speaker 7 (01:19:57):
Well, they're parrots and they were just like, well, we
don't need to fly, so we'll stop doing that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
We won't develop legs that help us run. We'll just
like roly-poly down hills and stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:20:08):
When you saw it in the flesh and the feather,
were they as green as you wanted them to be?

Speaker 7 (01:20:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
They blend in so, their camouflage is insane.

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
Well, could this be a service you hire yourself out
for if couples are looking to procreate?

Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
No, as I said, this world is already too people-y.

Speaker 4 (01:20:27):
Oh, right.

Speaker 1 (01:20:28):
Okay, because I was going to say you could hire
yourself out and you just pop around and sit in
the lounge with them.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
You know, drop your aphrodisiac pheromone.

Speaker 5 (01:20:34):
Your energy.

Speaker 3 (01:20:35):
Yeah, yeah, drop your energy.

Speaker 1 (01:20:36):
And then they can just go to the bedroom and
maybe you can charge $ 250.

Speaker 3 (01:20:39):
I'll probably.

Speaker 4 (01:20:41):
Less if he gets to stay in the chair.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
Drag a chair and drag... I'll drag one of those
white plastic warehouse chairs that you always have.

Speaker 5 (01:20:47):
Oh, no.

Speaker 4 (01:20:47):
A bit of clamor in the bedroom.

Speaker 3 (01:20:49):
Pop that in the corner.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
A cushion at least. Oh, I'll get a cushion. Yeah, yeah,
I'll get a cushion.

Speaker 4 (01:20:54):
So if that chair snaps under your weight, you know,
in the corner because you're swinging on it. I do
like to swing on those chairs. Those legs crack.

Speaker 3 (01:20:59):
I do like to swing on those chairs. You can
really feel them going.

Speaker 4 (01:21:01):
It's going to interrupt the flow.

Speaker 7 (01:21:03):
No, I mean, congratulations to the people involved in that
program because that's amazing news.

Speaker 4 (01:21:08):
Shivers, guys.

Speaker 3 (01:21:09):
10 out of 10 podcast, that one.

Speaker 8 (01:21:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:21:11):
I think two of us were 10 out of 10
and one of us wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:21:14):
Well, who was that? Which one?

Speaker 4 (01:21:15):
We'll just leave that. We'll just leave that there.

Speaker 3 (01:21:16):
Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us a rating
and review.

Speaker 4 (01:21:19):
Please don't. Unless it's a bad one. Oh, yeah, no, don't.
Don't bother. Yeah, no, don't. Don't bother.
