Speaker 2 (00:03):
This is Fletch Vaughan and Hayley's Big Pod.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Thanks to Animates, making happy happen for pets. Fletch Vaughan
and Hayley. Hayley's back. I'm back, baby. Didn't win lotto.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
I just wanted to take the day off to really
scan the ticket.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
A few times. A few times. Different times of the day.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Well, isn't that $ 20 million ticket still not being claimed
from that big one that.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Got split in half? The Blockhouse Bay. Yeah, I think so.
That's right. The Blockhouse Bay $ 20 million ticket. Well, that's
not yours.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
You don't want to be that idiot.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
That's not yours either, is it? No, I've checked them
all and I've checked them again. Nas in Melbourne. She back, baby.
Coming up on the show, BP Rewards. You missed it yesterday.
We gave away $ 800. Did you? $ 800 free fuel thanks
to BP Rewards. So your chance to play it this morning,
8 o'clock. Listen out for the activator. I love it.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Next on the show, the UN has adopted a new map.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's called Equal Earth, this new map. Great news for us.
We're in the middle.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Because we're right beside the... We're not going to be
left off maps anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
We're just bottom right.

Speaker 6 (01:06):
No, no, no.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
We're right smack in the middle because of the dayline.
The international, you know, dateline.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Everything's coming up New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Some other changes to this map. America's not happy. America's
the only people that aren't, sort of, weren't on board.
Everybody else is like, yeah, okay, America, I'll tell you
why they weren't on board next. You should see Africa.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
The ZN Podcast Network.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Africa is bigger. On the new map. God, it was
already quite large, wasn't it? So who's done this new
map and why?

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Well, it's a bunch of cartographers, which is just a
great word for people who specialise in maps. They've said
we've been looking at that map that we're all very
familiar with, the size and shape and stuff, where we're
never in the middle in New Zealand. Sometimes we're left
off in the bottom right-hand corner. But it was only
that shape because that would fit on a globe.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Like a round globe. Because we're a globe. So if
you took that map and then wrapped it around a
globe roughly, that would work. And kind of line up
from the equator.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Right.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
It kind of looks right, but when you lay it
out flat, it loses a bit. So there's misrepresentation of
size and shape and scale.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I guess, when looking.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
at that typical face-on, equator-level situation.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Sometimes that does happen, though, when you look at a photo.
You can misrepresent the size of it.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Until you see it in real life and you're like, oh,
you sort of.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Angles and such. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at it from below,
make it look bigger.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, when you look from below, sometimes it can look
much larger.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
But the US has got smaller, so they didn't want
to vote for it, even though it's a more accurate
representation of international continental land masses.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
What do they care? So what, the UN has done this? Yeah,
the UN. Right.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
So we're in the middle because we get the day first.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Well, we do. Second-ish. Who gets it before us? The islands?
What's the island? Chatham Islands? Not the Chatham Islands. Did
Samoa jump the... Did Samoa jump the... No, they don't
get the sun first. Did they jump the date line, though?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I'd say Fiji's closer to it than we are.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
But then at this time, we're moving into the time
of the year where the sun will rise earlier in
the south, so we'd get it earlier than Fiji in
the summer. But, you know, we're kind of the first
big dog to get it.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I would say to the dear listener listening now who
can't see this real-world map, have a Google because it's
quite interesting. We definitely look bigger. You can see why
America didn't vote for this. Cause they're like, we're number one,
but they actually look like a lot like South America
and America looks a lot skinnier now.

Speaker 7 (03:35):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
And they're wrapped, not wrapped, but like, to the right
and kind of to the side, and it definitely doesn't
look quite as grand.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Australia looks a little tiny bit smaller. A little bit. Yeah.
You know, it looks stretched out. Stretched. Stretched top to bottom.
Looks longer, but maybe not as wide. And Africa, Africa's
ginormous now. Yeah, it's really big.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
I'd say the big loser when you compare it to
like that, what are they, the Mercator map? Russia looks
skinnier because it was allowed for that slope.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
And China? Greenland and all the ones right at the top. Oh,
it's really interesting. Oh, I like this because we're in
the middle. So America voted no. They voted against it.
Some others abstained.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
America voted against it and six other states abstained from voting.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
They were just like, we won't vote.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Bigger issues. What you've got to do. is look at
a before and after. We're sinking. Look at Africa.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
That's before on the left.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
So it's a lot. So just as you sort of
know it, wide. A girthier.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, more kind of as wide as it is long.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
And now there, Africa, much longer. And still as wide.
And still as wide. Africa's just got bigger. Well, yeah,
it's fascinating, isn't it? And so they took a vote
on it. And so because. 164 countries. So it's passed. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so it's the new world map now? Is that
what we say? Yeah, I mean, if it's.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Well, if it's printed out flat on a wall, this
would be the more, has always been the more accurate
version of the map.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Madagascar got long. Did it? Madagascar got long. Did we
get a bit longer? A little bit longer. I think
the big one for us is we're in the middle.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yes. Because they're like, this is the dateline. This is
where the, you know, the day starts.

Speaker 7 (05:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
In the centre of the page. So we'll pop that
in the centre. That's good for us.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
It's like they got the world map and kind of
like it drooped down. You know, like everywhere looks much longer.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
And the paint's running a bit. And the paint's running
a bit. Everyone's got longer. And it's like dripping. It does.
Because look how long.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Okay. Well, it's worth a Google. So wait. And we've
got a new world map.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
How much more north the end of Africa is than
the end of South America? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Like South America goes so much further south than Africa does.
It does.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Do you think geography teachers across the nation, across the
world are like.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Oh, God, that's going to cost us, isn't it, the taxpayer?
They're going to have to do all the maps in
school again. Retrain. Yeah, yeah, you do all the maps.
All the new atlases, they'll have to get new textbooks.
What if there's an insurance job in that? That we're
not even on, you know?

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yeah. Oh, yeah. What if there's an insurance job if
everybody just draws dicks all over the atlas? You know,
they'll be able to claim insurance and get new atlases. Maybe.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Now, I don't know if you guys, the girlies will
remember this. In our public bathroom, our shared bathroom at work, downstairs,
there used to be a lovely little wicker basket. And
inside of it was just some tampons and pads.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Lovely.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
And then I believe people from the street started coming
in and procuring these tampons and pads. And now you've
got to swipe into the stationary cupboard. So if you
go to the toilet and you discover you are in
need of tampons and pads, they're going to sort of waddle.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Your way to the... Pull your pants back up.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Pull your pants up, maybe get a bit of toilet
paper in there temporarily, waddle to the stationary cupboard. But
in women's bathrooms everywhere, there's always these like cool machines.
If you go to like pubs or, this is big
in Australia, but like pubs or public bathrooms or whatever,
sometimes there's vending machines.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Do you guys ever have those? Condoms. Condoms. Sometimes, but really.
But I haven't seen new ones.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
It's still those old ones you put a coin in
and you crank it around and the condom drops out.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Get a condom that definitely is going to break.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Oh, yeah, because when I'm using a condom, I like
to trust a brand I've never seen before in my life.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, and that has been in that machine for six years.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Give that a quick Google. You found out they went
bust in the 80s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. After a string
of unwanted pregnancies.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
So there's all these great machines. Well, this is one from,
this is in Belfast.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
And you go in and you, it's got pay waves.
You don't even need a coin or anything like that.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Love.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
And it kind of looks like the drinks machine at McDonald's. Coke, Sprite, Fanta.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Like this, but it's all behind this glass panel. You swipe,
you push a button and, And what you're selecting is
from a selection of like high-end perfumes.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Your Diptyques, your Elizabeth Arden's, your Yves Saint Laurent's maybe,
your Chloe's.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
You select that.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
It gives you a little countdown and it goes.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
And gives you a spritz. So you've got to what,
like go up by the nozzle? No, it's like put
a good spritz on it.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
So this girl's showing a video and she's, I'll show you.
She's kind of, she goes up to it and it's
like this.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
And then it just comes out this little hole.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Oh, right.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
And she's turning her neck like that.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
If you chose a different fragrance, would you get the
dregs of the previous? No, it's all, they each got
their own. They've each got their own nozzle. That was my,
that was what I was thinking. Cause then it would
mix and it'd smell weird.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, a bit of nannery lavender mixed with your nice
spicy thing.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
You might have a really nice one though. Maybe you're
creating a new mixed perfume that could be lovely.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
A little custom blend.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
No, no, no. It's each got its own spray hole.
I think this machine has six of them, five or
six of them. And you just take a little spritz
like that and you get a little top up. Come
out of the bathroom smelling refreshed. Maybe it's like a
perfume that you always wanted to try, but it's like
really expensive and you.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Wouldn't do it. Well, that's what we do at the
Duty Free, isn't it? Just with the Tom Ford.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
The Tom Ford that we put on on Friday.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Oh, you're going heavy on it. Did you get someone
on the Friday? Never buying it because it's $ 500. It's
so expensive.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
And yet I know it's the perfume I like the most.
And every time we go travelling, it's like. But if
you saw, if I went into a bathroom and there
was a Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, or what's the one
you like now?

Speaker 8 (09:32):
Oud.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
I don't know. Udward. Udward. Udward.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
I think you like the Udward and I like the
Soleil Blanc.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
I mean, if it was a couple of bucks, you'd
do it. You'd just get a little K-Wave, right, and
be like, hell yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Although that divided by squirts would probably be... Just by
the bottle. Just by the bottle. Just probably by the bottle.
Probably works out a little bit better, girl math wise.

Speaker 9 (09:53):

Speaker 1 (09:57):
From the unmoderated comment section, this is the top six.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well, Auckland Airport's falling in line with Sydney and other
international airports overseas by putting the security screening.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Before passport control.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
So if you're familiar with Auckland Airport, you walk through,
you check in, and then you go upstairs and through
the thing.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
And then they check your passport. You put it in
that thing and you've got to stand perfectly still and
you take your glasses and your hat off and you go.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
And I do like a little mini kind of facelift
because my passport photo is so hot and young.

Speaker 10 (10:29):
Right.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
And then it goes.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
And then you're through and then you get your bags
checked and your scans and everything.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's going to. Switch around. So they're doing a big
reno at Auckland Airport. It's huge. And you're going to
check in for domestic at the same place. At the
same place. But this is in the future, like a
year or two away.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Right. They'll be rolling out the stages through end of 2027.
As part of the new integrated terminal build. What are
they doing with the old domestic terminal?

Speaker 3 (10:57):
We just had this conversation on Friday when we were there.
And I was like, what are they going to do
with that site?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I'd love to see an explosion. You know, a controlled explosion.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I'd like to see an uncontrolled explosion. Imagine the old
Sunglass Hut and Krispy Kreme going up.

Speaker 7 (11:10):
Oh, I know.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I'm sure they'll take the donuts out before they do.

Speaker 8 (11:12):
Are you sure?

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Why don't they take out the Tom Ford sunglasses?

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh, then they'll take out the stuff. Okay. Before they
do that.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
I'd like to see a bowling alley put in there.
Because it's long.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
It's really long and wide.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
It's been an entertainment quarter of six. Well, they're going
to get some new scanners as well.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
They've got the top six things.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
The Auckland Airport's new scanners will actually be able to
scan and tell you.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Before you get to password control.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Number six on the list is whether or not you
charged your headphones and whether you're going to be tethered
to the screen and not be able to watch your
own entertainment. You'll be, oh, hate when you forget your headphones.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
When you're like 76 and then you put them in
and it's like, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
You're like, no.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah, well, I'll get out these little, Pull open that
plastic bag. Yeah. Now I can hear everything happening around me,
but not really what's happening on the screen.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Number five on the list of the top six things
the new scanners will be able to tell you before
you get to passport control about the lone forgotten piece
of fruit.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Rolling around in the bottom of your backpack. Mandarin. That's
going to cost you. Apple. That'll cost you. Bananas. What
is it now?

Speaker 4 (12:10):
300?

Speaker 8 (12:10):
400?

Speaker 4 (12:10):
500?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
I thought it was 400.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
I think it had gone up.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
It's just changed, eh? Is it 600 or 800 now?
My auntie got hit. Forgotten orange. Who was it? Gwyneth
Paltrow that got done? What was the Hollywood?

Speaker 4 (12:27):
No, Hilary Swank. Hilary Swank was a big famous one.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
You don't get, you know, special dispensation because you're famous.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
So they're doubling, they're proposing doubling it to $ 800. But
it's still $ 400 per item.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Right.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
What if you have a bunch of grapes? Is it
$ 400 a grape? Yeah, it is. It's per grape. It's
per grape.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Imagine if you had a packet of pomegranate seeds.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Is that per seed? It's per seed. Well, yeah, because
they're out of the skin, so it'll be per seed. Okay, right.

Speaker 8 (13:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
You don't want that.

Speaker 6 (13:02):
No.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
What if you had a... Bag of rice.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Bag of sesame seeds, I was going to say.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Per seed. Out of the sesame.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
What are sesame seeds growing? That's a good question.

Speaker 6 (13:14):
Shit. Shit.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
A pod?

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Let's just sidebar him.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
Stop the music.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Stop the music. Stop the music. Stop the music. What
is it like wheat? Sesame seeds. That you go like.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
Growing. Yeah. Growing.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Goodness. Sesame seeds growing. It's a tall sesame plant's. Okay.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
The plant grows straight and tall between two and six foot.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
It flowers.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
It produces delicate bell-shaped flowers that are white, pink or purple.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
It looks like wheat, you know, that you'd go for. Yeah, okay.
So that's how you get sesame seeds. Thank God we
learned that. There must be a mess in the sesame
seed factory. They'd be everywhere.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
You'd just miss a couple in the kitchen. They're everywhere,
aren't they? They're growing like a pod at the end
of the flower. It's full of seeds. What a mess.
No way. What a mess. Delicious, though. What a delicious mess.

Speaker 10 (14:01):
Yum.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
I love those little sesame squares, you know, all joined
together by glucose.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
You know, the sesame bites? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sesame's
a great flavour.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
Sweet. Number four on the list of the top six
things the new Auckland airport scanners will be able to find.
It'll run a live undies audit on your bag, declaring
whether or not you've packed enough undies for the four-day trip,
which of course means you take all your undies if
you go for four days.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
Four days?

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I overpacked for the weekend. You never know. You never know.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
I had like 10 pairs and you're like, you just
don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Hayley, you're away two nights. You don't know I might
need a dozen pairs of undies.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Three pairs, you know. Just put three pairs on. Number
three on the list of the top six things Auckland
Airport's new scanners will be able to tell you are
whether you've actually told your parents you're going overseas or
mum's going to freak out when she sees your location
somewhere over the Pacific. Where the bloody hell are you?
You've been kidnapped by pirates or sort of a shipping line.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
What are you telling me?

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Because I'm nearly 40.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Number two on the list.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
It's still important to tell them. Top six things Auckland
Airport's new scanners will be able to tell you. It'll
scan you and find compatibility seating so it can seat
you near like-minded individuals. Chatters with chatters, babies with babies.
In fact, it will just have all the babies together.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
No parents. It'll just be all the babies. Or like
they could do tiny old people next to the bigger people. Yes.
Size weight us. When a tiny old lady sits next
to you, you're like, yes.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
And she'll just have her elbows down like that.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Wow, she's so tiny. She's so tiny. Although she will
punish you and ask you, how does the entertainment work?
And she'll fart the whole flight. Well, you've got to
weigh out what you want. Arm room or... I want
a hottie. How good, eh?

Speaker 3 (15:38):
When a hottie's walking down and you're looking, you're like,
come on.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Come on. Come on. He sits down next to you.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
You're like.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
And number one on the list of the top six things,
Auckland Airport's new scanners will actually be able to tell
you when they scan you whether or not you genuinely
believe you'll be using that neck pillow this flight, the
one that you drag around that you never really end
up using.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
But, you know, you're like, I purchased it. I kind
of want to win.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Like, does it make me feel better or is it
actually worse to sleep like that?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Just going to wake up feeling terrible.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
That is today's top six.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Well, it's needless to say, I took a three-hour flight
home from Melbourne yesterday, so I've absorbed a lot of
fart air.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (16:21):
It was a full flight, a lot of old people
on there. I was sat next to a woman who,
I don't know if she was the culprit, but.
Like looking around, sort of thought she was of the
age where farts would be escaping.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
She was reading a Kindle.

Speaker 8 (16:40):
Right.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
And the Kindle readers, they love to fart on a plane.
Do they? More so than the traditional page turners.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
It's actually, there's a real Venn diagram there.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Because I've heard that after those long haul flights, the
person opening the door gets, that must stink. A wave
of fart, anything. How embarrassing to be a human. Do
you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Like we're just in this like fart cabin and we're like.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Hey, new country, it's warm. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Anyway, so I knew farts were going to be part
of my day yesterday, but I was not anticipating this
moment where at Melbourne Airport, it was really busy. And
it was really early in the morning. I guess everyone
was going off somewhere.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Where are you going on a Monday?

Speaker 5 (17:17):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
So it's really busy and there are lots of people
and gosh, they love a leisurely pace. And I was
doing a fletch, you know, like.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Weaving through traffic. Sometimes it's people's first time in an
airport ever. First day on earth, babe. They're just, wow.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
It is a pleasure to share their first day on
earth with them.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, goodness me. And I'm just going to stop. And
just take it in and you're sort of like, hey,
moving here. So because I was weaving, I was not
taking a nice, clear, direct path forward. And I turned
sort of to weave past an older couple that were
looking at a corked hat.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
In the souvenir store. Do people actually buy those? Americans do. Yeah, okay. Oh,
we went to Australia.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
So they were looking at a corked hat, but they
were looking at it, so they just stopped in the middle.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
So I'm like.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
And as I turn left, I find myself getting caught
behind a group of teenage boys. Don't know where they're going,
but there's like four of them. Teenage boys like this.
And as I turn like this, I hear, and I
walk into the fart. Like I enter sort of the
slipstream of the fart. They see it happen. They see

(18:30):
me see it happen. And then the smell comes and
we all just have to like acknowledge.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Are we talking like older teenage, like the sorts of
boys who maybe had a big weekend in Melbourne?

Speaker 1 (18:40):
17. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
I think perhaps some underage drinking had occurred. He let
out a little toot, but like the violence that hit me.
And it was like a sliding doors moment there. I
was like, I feel this couple looking at the bloody
corked hat is to blame because I've had to slipstream
this way.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, yeah. And divert.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
And they're laughing and they turn around and they just
see my face as the waft hits the nostril. The guy,
the boy just goes beetroot red and all of his
friends immediately clock it.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
They just crack up laughing.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
And I was like, thank you so much. And they
just kept on walking.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Gave him a quick thank you. Yeah, gave him a
real thank you. I wanted him to know that I knew.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Because I think a lot of adults would be polite, right?
And just be like, oh, farting, how awkward. I just
looked at him and I said, thank you so much.
And just kept on going. I hope he got roasted
all afternoon for that.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Well, he had bright red, so he's obviously embarrassed. He
was so embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
That little toot in front of your mate's already embarrassing
as a teenage boy. Then for it to reek, double
layer embarrassing. For it to, in live moment, hit the
nostril of a perfect stranger.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
And his friends were pretty like, oh, that old lady.
She's like, you've got that old lady.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Right in the nosy.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
The Fletchborn and Hayley Big Pod.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Now, you may remember last week, the end of last week,
I ran a speed date for Lovely Brooke from The
Night Show. I'm actually going to be doing another one
at 9 o'clock with her. I've teed up another one because.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
She's hard to impress. This woman. Anyway, I'll talk to
her later. Do you know what I mean? She's like,
I'm single. I want someone. And then she's like, nah, nah,
don't like the name. Nah, got to be this.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Nah. Anyway, I've teed up another date. But when she
was in on Friday, whatever day it was, she smelt
so good. And I said to her, God, you smell good.
And she was like, hey, it's Juicy Couture. And I
was like, who's Juicy Couture?

Speaker 1 (20:40):
It rings a bell.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Viva la Juicy. I mean, Juicy Couture.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Is this you too, Producer Shannon?

Speaker 5 (20:45):
I wear this every single day.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
And this is why when you come in, I'm always like, God,
you smell good.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
Did Juicy Couture do those tracksuits?

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's the same company that did
the tracksuits? Yeah. What came first, the tracksuit or the smell? Tracksuits.
You can, I'm reading here.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Get a Goosey Tour Viva La Juicy at Chemist Warehouse.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah, that's the one. $ 59.

Speaker 10 (21:06):
99.

Speaker 6 (21:06):
It's got a big pink bow on it. It's got
a bunch of charms. It smells what you imagine the
tracksuit is. Like the tracksuit is what it smells like.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Sweet, kind of tacky.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Like I used to wear it all the time. It
was my perfume for years.

Speaker 6 (21:19):
It just, we were going through a bit of a
rough time at the end of last year and I
was like, what is going to fix this?

Speaker 5 (21:24):
Dopamine fixing. What is going to fix this? And I
thought Juicy Couture.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Because that's the thing, the moment I smelled it, Brooke,
I was like, oh my God. Like, that's iconic. And, like,
when did it come out? Can you look that up?
When was Viva La Juicy out? When did they get
into camper vans?

Speaker 1 (21:38):
No different. We've got an I in Juicy Couture. Oh, okay.
That's Jussie Rintos.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
Juicy Couture perfume history?

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Because I was a teenager, and I'm quite far away
from that now.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Juicy Couture launched its first signature perfume in 2006.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, yes, and that's when I first got it, and
I was like, I love this thing.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
It's the 20-year anniversary of Jiu-Jitsu Couture Fragrance. So Brooke
was saying it's the one she just always uses.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Yeah, she's worn it.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
I mean, she's younger than me, but she's worn it
from day dot, and she's just like that. Like, my
mum's the same. Hers is, I can't remember what brand
it is, but it's called Samsara. And then they cancelled
it and I found another one that did it and
she's like beside herself.

Speaker 7 (22:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
This is what we want to ask because then we
got all nostalgic about those iconic perfumes that you just
can't get rid of. Like Britney Spears Fantasy would be
one of them. It's another like super sweet kind of
young perfume. But every time I smell it.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
I'm like, I don't know, hit a bot. We're like
creatures of habit. So if you find one that you
like and people compliment you, then you just stay with it. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (22:38):
Oh, yes.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Someone just texted in Body Shop White Musk. Body shock
sprays and perfumes were iconic when I was at high school.

Speaker 10 (22:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
And you'd always be like, white mask. Oh, my God.
It's so good. Okay. Well, this is what we want
to ask now. 0800 DARS at M. Text through 9696.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
What is your all-time scent?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Stevie, what is your signature scent?

Speaker 7 (23:03):
Morena.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Morena. I.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
I hate Katy Perry because she's crazy.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (23:09):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
I was talking about Katy Perry the week, and now
she's said, I found the love of my life. I'm
sure I've heard you say that three or four times.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Didn't she say that with Russell Brand.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
Orlando Bloom, and now the Canadian Prime Minister? Ex-Prime Minister, yeah. Oh,
so you hate her, but I'm guessing you love her fragrance.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, it's called Meow.

Speaker 9 (23:29):
I actually did a little play on words in my checks.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
I said it's a meow thing.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Okay, good, good, good. Oh, yeah. Does it come in
the cat-shaped bottle?

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yes, it's purple.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
The bottle's so tacky, Stevie.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
It's tacky, but the smell isn't, I hope.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Describe the smell. Is it sweet, floral, bright?

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yeah, it's sweet.

Speaker 10 (23:51):
It's probably a little bit giving too much youthful energy
for my age.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
No, no, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Age
is just a scent, you know? It is just a scent.

Speaker 10 (24:02):
So when I wear it, I'm probably like in 20s, 30s.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
I say we've got tangerine, pear, jasmine, gardenia, and lily
of the valley.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
I need to smell this now just to see what
it smells like.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
40 bucks at Kim Warehouse.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, see, it's classic. Mine is $ 550 a bottle. Your what? Crazy, eh? Okay, yeah,
that's good. And how, and do you just, is it
every day you wear it?

Speaker 8 (24:24):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
Oh, not every day.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Sometimes I like to jazz it up a little bit
and go a bit bougie, but most of the.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
Time, yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
You're bougie for the good days and for your day-to-days.
You're Katy Perry, meow, 39.99.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Love it. Stevie, thank you. So many messages. That's cheap.
That's good. Somebody said, do you remember the diesel? Yes.
That was the hand. Yes, the first.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
The first that had diesel and knuckles.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
There was a red. The diesels used to pop, man.
There was a diesel that was like red. Well, they've
stopped making it.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Was it a red bottle?

Speaker 1 (24:54):
And it was sort of, oh, it was good.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
I can smell it.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Hold on, I found one here at Chemist Warehouse. $ 99
for 50 mils of that diesel. But there's a discontinued one,
and I found it on an overseas website for $ 470
because it's discontinued.

Speaker 10 (25:11):
Oh, I'm people.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
You should get it as our studio perfume. Somebody said
Dunhill Desire for men.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Like the cigarettes. But they wrote Dunhill Red.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Now, when I went to the servers, people asked me
for Dunhill Reds, and you'd be like, yeah, cigarettes. Dunhill
Desire in a bottle. Got it on a P &
O cruise when I was 15. Loved it, and I've
used it as my main one ever since I'm 33.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Wow. Okay. J'adore by Christian Dior.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
That's a bit of a classic.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
J'adore Dior.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Karma and Taboo.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
No, I don't know that one. I wonder if anyone's
still rocking J-Lo glow. That was in that skinny bottle
like that.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
It was iconic for years. It was a classic.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
And it had a little charm J-Lo on it. And
it smelled like soap. It just smelled like straight soap.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Is anyone saying CK1? That's a classic. No, but I
tell you what we've had multiple reports of.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Joop.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Really? Joop. I remember a friend at high school had that,
and it's just, it's so, yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
Well, I said my nearly 48-year-old husband still wears good
old Joop. I've tried to get him to change, but
secretly I love the smell. It takes me back to
my younger days. And that's what somebody else said. I
wear Joop because why wait to bump into a man
wearing Joop when I could wear it myself and smell
like my dream man?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
Jupe.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Big Gay here. Hello. Oh, okay. Hello and good morning.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
I'm a Blue de Chanel or Chanel Homme Sport.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Oh, yeah, I know that one. That's a classic Chanel.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beautiful. Like, there's all those.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
What were the....

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Jean-Paul Gaultier. Jean-Paul Gaultier with the bodies. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
So the women had the curvy boobies and stuff and
the men had like the air bodies.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
What about an Izzy Minyake for men? Oh, who's classic?
That was a classic bottle. Who wore that?

Speaker 4 (26:57):
Well, Hayley's just trying to remember the last couple of years.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
The tattoo boy wore that.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
A little snuff. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
A little snuff.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
DKNY, that little apple-shaped thing.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Somebody else said Marc Jacobs Daisy. Very nostalgic. Has anybody
texted in about the Eros Flame? That's a good one. No.
That's my one. Is that yours? The red bottle. Yeah, right.
A Gucci Rush was my go-to.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Someone said Britney Spears fantasy. I'm embarrassed to say it
out loud. I can smell it now and I've never
bought it. And it is just so, it's like you
walked into the Chelsea sugar factory.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yum. It's yum. It's so good. And it's cheap as chips.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Davidoff Cool Water smells like a Subaru Impreza being driven
by an 18-year-old to me.

Speaker 6 (27:45):
Love. Love.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
So good. There's so many.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Nothing takes me home more than the smell of Red
Door and a menthol ciggy someone sent.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's great. Christina Aguilera's perfume.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
I think it was called Aspire, but you can't buy
it anymore, so I'm still too scared to finish the bottle,
but I'll just take the lid off and have a
little sniff around there.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Does it go bad? I don't know. I don't know.
It's so bad. Yeah, maybe not. But I remember someone
saying that you shouldn't leave them out in the sun.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
You should put them in cupboards.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, they oxidise sometimes. I'm a nurse. One of the
attendants at the hospital wears CK1.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
Back to my youth. Man, if you can smell CK1
above that cleaning stuff they use in the hospital, that
must be.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
My dad will wear CK1 until the day he dies.
You know he's ready for a party when you can
smell that waft down the hallway.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 6 (28:31):
He's out.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
He's ready. Calvin Klein, Euphoria. Um, my dad rocks old spice.
What's jazz? Oh, Hugo boss.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
So someone said jazz was my first boyfriend's aftershave and
I bought it for my husband and I just go
mental for him when he wears it.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
So it's like super nostalgia.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
St. Laurent has got a jazz, but I've just Googled
Hugo boss jazz, but it might be discontinued.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Oh, what about the DKNY? They were famous, man. They
did so many.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Hmm.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
My 44-year-old friend still wears Tommy Girl.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Reminds me of when I was 13. Jazz YSL. Yves
Saint Laurent. Yves Saint Laurent, yeah, yeah. Hugo Boss. There's
still some Hugo Bosses. Fahrenheit, does that ring a bell? Yes,
it does.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Fahrenheit for men takes me back to my teen years.
Here I'm showing my age.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
I reckon if you nailed a men's scent, you'd be sweet.
Because guys just find one and they're just like.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Well, they have one. It's Lynx Africa.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Well, actually, a few messages in for a Lynx. A
few messages in for a Lynx, actually.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
Really?

Speaker 4 (29:29):
People still get asked what they're wearing and they just
have to say, like, Lynx Dark Temptation.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Team it up with a body wash and I tell
you what, the ladies will not stop. Knock, knock, knock.
Kate the Smith.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
I don't hate the smell of African in particular. I
don't hate it.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
I just don't. It is interesting.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Parker Rabban, millionaire that was in the gold bottle. That's
too musky for me, that one.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Who was saying what's back? Were we talking with the girls?

Speaker 3 (29:57):
What's back?

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Dark, dark.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
God, Hayley, have more information before you pitch this.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Mara can just keep saying dark. It's in the red poison. Poison.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
I read an article the other day, Poison Perfume NZ by.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Hypnotic Poison by Dior. Do you remember that? And it
was really deep.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
And apparently it was like too much for a while.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Everyone was going for fresh.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
And then I just was reading an article on Cosmo
that was like, Poison Dior's back, bitches. Strap up to
hit the nostril when you walk into a room because.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Man, I can still smell it.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
I used to go when I was on like marching
trips if we were ever in Hong Kong. I remember
discovering the underground knockoff.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
And I bought two bottles of poison Dior and I
used to wear it to high school and you'd walk
in and it was just like. Thankfully it was the cheap,
you know.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Cheap knockoff version. So it only lasted about 30 minutes. Oh,
I can smell all of these perfumes.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, amazing. So many messages coming in. Oh, my God, Angel.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Angel, it smelled like musk. It smelled like pink smoker lollies.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Who made it?

Speaker 3 (31:10):
My, I don't know, it was in a blue star.
My best friend used to wear that.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Oh, Fairy Mugler.

Speaker 10 (31:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
What was that one that you had and you smelled,
like a wet Uber?

Speaker 6 (31:19):
Um.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
And really musky. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wet Uber.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
I think a suit of muskier scent works. You don't
look at me and think that guy smells light.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
You sued a musk. It's a musky scent.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Can't remember what it was called. It was deep, though. No,
it wasn't a Jonas Brothers, eh? Jonas Brothers.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Didn't the Jonas Brothers release some perfumes and, like, two
were really sweet and the other guy was obviously like, well,
we have to make these smell different and just release
the most, like, dark smelling mushrooms.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Or Kevin got the mushroom smelling.

Speaker 9 (31:53):
The ZNM Podcast Network.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
I did a little.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
Bit of, you hard launched your girlfriend, Vaughn, after a
trip away.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah. Stewart Island. Yeah, but Vaughn hard launched during a
paid post for Rillian Z. I'll tell you what, I'll
do anything for clients. You know what I'll do.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Stay tuned in an hour's time where I'll no doubt
forget St. Pierre's are sponsoring Fact of the Day because
I get so excited about Fact of the Day.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
I know you do. I know you do.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
I love a hard launch in a paid post.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
I tell you what, got me a ski holiday again
later in the year, so let's just calm down on that.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
If I was your new girlfriend, I'd be like, yeah, sure, man,
if you're going to keep taking me away to these
wonderful trips. And then I, with Mike, I sort of
hard launched gently. It was the softest worst kept secret
of all time because I did my show and he
was in it at the end. So I just put
a poster up of the show and, you know, a
reference to something in the show. The hard launch is

(32:53):
at an end, guys. So Fletch, hold off on that.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Oh, damn. Romantic.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
He's been writing poetry all morning.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, I was going to. I was going to hard
launch my non-existent relationship.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Yes, my love, my heart has been taken. I've waited
for someone like you. Hard launch is dying. Instagram is
going off the going official.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Right.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
They are getting less engagement. Everyone's just like, it's disgusting.
People think it's... It's disgusting even.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
It's cringe.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
There was a 2025 consult report said that a third
of social media users post less than they used to
and one third of social media users said that they
find Hard launch posters, cringe.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Especially when it's someone that's hard launching someone every few months. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
How hard do you launch?

Speaker 1 (33:47):
How hard do you launch, yeah. And how early? Or
someone with just at a dinner and you can just
see an arm.

Speaker 7 (33:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
Or something. So some case studies they looked into. There
was a 32-year-old, Saoirse. She said her way of doing
it was more of the soft launch for eight months.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
So they're just like casually in a dump? Group photo. Yeah,
they're in a dump.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
A dump meaning like a series of photos, not like
we went to the tip today. You know, like, yeah,
they're in a group photo or whatever, or like we're
away and they're amongst other things. And then eventually you're like, oh, yeah,
that person's been there.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
You just catch them at the end of a pano
at a beach? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's soft, soft. Soft, soft.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Anjali, this was another case study, she did a hard launch,
like a full hard launch, and then they broke up
a week later. So she was like, we're never doing
that again.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
What is the opposite of a hard launch? A hard end,
a hard crash.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Well, it's basically you're kind of setting up your relationship
to be public. So then the breakup, the inevitable breakup,
she said, is then public as well. And then that's
like a public mess.

Speaker 10 (34:58):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
So I get, I mean, a lot of people are
just saying they just keep their relationships entirely off of
social media in general.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Right.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
They're saying this is the new pattern. Or like not
doing anything and then posting a milestone, like one year together.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Everyone's like, huh?

Speaker 3 (35:16):
Or like we're having a baby or we're engaged.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Oh, jeez, that's the hardest of launches. So you're just
going straight to the big milestones.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Just doing the milestones as opposed to like this is
my love and you're like.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Okay, what about do we use an emoji or tag
their name in the bio? Is that allowed?

Speaker 3 (35:34):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Bio tags. Cohen's bio tags are huge. This guy's jumping
deep in.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Cohen just literally mind vomited.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
I have a visceral reaction to that.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Neither of you have your boyfriends in your profiles.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
God, no.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
I posted him for the first time when we got engaged.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
That's the milestone approach.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
But what about all the hot honeys that want to
slide into the DMs if they saw that you had a... Hey,
she said let them.

Speaker 6 (36:02):
I hate to say this, Fletch, but I actually just
trust my partner and don't really care what.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
He publicly puts out there. Interesting. What's your thoughts on trust, Fletch?
I never trust anybody ever.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
I'm just like trying to look at a few people
I know to see because mine is like jobs to
hear me here and see me here. But looking at
normal people, if they've got partners, I'm trying to think
of a friend that has a boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
I'm looking at Dr. Shawnees. If he's like husband. But
he's married. He does. He's got his in there. He's
got the engagement ring. Because you've seen how hot his
husband is. He doesn't want the... Honey's sliding in there.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Actually, they're both so hot, eh, Sean and Gerard.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
Look at them.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Okay, let's go to Gerard and see. He doesn't have Dr.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Shawnee in his. Wow. I don't want to start a fight. Okay,
you're going to start a fight now. Okay, I'm going
to head to our other married friends. But this is
the thing. We're just being subtle about it, Hayley. Do
you have your new boyfriend? God, no.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
God, no.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
So people are allowed to slide into the DMs or not?

Speaker 3 (37:06):
No, it's not that.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
It's just I find it icky. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
You don't own me. Don't tag me in your bio,
you weirdo.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
No, he hasn't put me in his either. No, we definitely.
The bio tags. The bio tags. Very serious. That's almost
after engagement, maybe a bio tag. No, even then.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Dude.

Speaker 9 (37:29):
You can't.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Are you going to be someone that tags in the bio?
I'll be a bio tagger one day. I didn't know
we had a friend who was tagging bio.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
Dr.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Shorty tagged Stuart in the bio. Yeah, I know, but
look at them.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
They're so– they really love each other. Like it's a real–
they enjoy being around each other all the time.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah. Okay, well, it's all subtle on Instagram. It's going subtle.
We're going subtle.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
The ZM Podcast Network.

Speaker 9 (37:56):
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little po. Silly little po.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
It is so silly, silly, silly.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
Well, so the little poll today is kind of how
do you feel about an online funeral?

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yes, because drones and multi-camera funeral shoots. Drones? Live streaming
is now a standard expectation at funerals.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
I'm guessing it's part of the package. Maybe it's an
upsell as well.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Heaps of funeral homes. Do have it as a thing.
And they've got their camera system there and their website.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Kind of took off during COVID, eh? When you couldn't
get to anywhere. And that's what they're saying. Because of
COVID now, people are like, well, I could fly from London.
I'm not that close, but I'll just watch it online.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
When my marching coach sadly passed away, she had such
an impact on so many people around the world, you know,
because she travelled with the team, that like people from
Norway and Edinburgh and all this want to be there.
So it was all live streamed and there were thousands
of people watching.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
And obviously I feel like if it's like you've got
a ranking of family and close friends. And you're in
a church. And then those are the people you want
to see and you want to be there in person
for them. But then if it gets too extended and
someone you worked with 18 years ago, watch it online.
You're taking up a seat from a cousin.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Have you been to one of those funerals where within
the building it's too big and they expand to an
outer building?

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Oh, no.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
I went to one and they live stream it, but
you're there.

Speaker 6 (39:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
And you're like family, important people. And then in the
next room it's being... projected as well.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
So these are the options we gave you.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
How do you feel about Zoom funerals? Do you like
to attend them? Yes, if it means I don't have
to travel. Yes, even if I'm in the same city.
Or no, I would rather attend in person.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Okay. 64% of people said no, I'd rather attend in person.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
33% said yes if it means I don't have to travel,
and only 2% said yes even if I'm in the
same city. They prefer a Zoom funeral or an online funeral,
a stream funeral.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
Kate said, oh, my God, guys, first a question about long-haul–
flights yesterday.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Now funerals as I return from my brother's funeral in
the UK. On a long haul flight. Double whammy.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Oh God, that's horrible. What else is happening in your life, Kate?
We'll line that up for still a little poll tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
God, what? That's horrible. Her brother.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
She went to the UK to her brother's funeral.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Oh, that's awful.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Sean, if you're willing to attend via Zoom, perhaps you
don't need to. If you're only willing to attend via Zoom,
maybe you don't need to attend at all.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yeah. I agree with that. Interesting. Interesting. Interesting.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
They don't know you're there.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
You can log on at home and watch the 30-minute
proceeding and be like, oh, that was nice, a celebration
of someone's life, versus, like, travelling there, accommodation.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Getting dolled up. I know because you might need a
suit as well.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
Or a shirt and tie if you don't have one.
I have a strong hate for these currently, says Hannah.
I feel like Zoom funerals need to be regulated as
in you have to sign up and be verified for
the link. As with all the scams and crimes, et cetera,
I feel it would be easy for a scammer to
get so much personal information from a funeral and use
it to scam vulnerable people afterwards.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
I mean, I feel like, yeah, the link would be
distributed by the family. I feel like it's not just
going to be willy-nilly online. With a password, yeah.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
What would the password for your funeral be? Durries. She
loved a durry.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Zero, yeah, zero, M-G, O-M-G.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Gone too. Soon. Soon. Exclamation mark.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Exclamation mark.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Zero, O-N. F-D-S-E-G-E-S with a Z. Yeah. M-M-F.

Speaker 7 (41:52):
M-M-F.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
F-F-M. BBC.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
BBC.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
P-A-W-G. M-M-M-F. Yeah. F-M-F-M-F-M. M-M-F.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
E-N-M. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Oh, B-D-S-D.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
B-D-S-M.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
B-D-S-D.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
I'm going to have to copy and paste this. P-C-O-S. A-B-H-G. I-B-S.
All of them.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
That really sums up your life. God, it's an acronym, Glyph.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
Yeah, at Mulbrah.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Yeah. Jane said, I'd rather attend in person. Would I
rather attend in person? Yes.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
But for the likes of my Nana's funeral during COVID,
when my brother couldn't get into the country or other
reasons that you couldn't travel, as opposed to just don't
have to, then it's amazing that we can do these things.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
And I feel like if you are on the other
side of the world, no one's going to begrudge you
if they're not super close.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
I would literally say, don't come.

Speaker 10 (42:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
But for some people, it is a way to... heal,
you know, like just have that final closure. And so
you can't be just seeing the video helps.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Well, Dana said, if I can't make a funeral, I
ain't there. Attending the event is a place of discomfort
that I can't welcome into my lounge. My Nana's funeral
was filmed for me to watch and I've never felt
the moment where I thought, yep, I feel like today's
going to be the day I'll be sat in my
lounge and watch my Nana's funeral. Just like a wedding
video or anything. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (43:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Or any concert footage you take. Nobody watches this stuff again. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (43:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
No, you don't. You genuinely don't. Snoring Taylor. Oh, yeah.
Favourite of the show. Still got a boyfriend? Yeah, we
actually spoke to him yesterday when you were away. Still
got his boyfriend? Still snoring. Still snoring, yeah. Happy, though.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
Taylor said, sorry for laughing. I didn't even know this
was a thing. Imagine sitting in the waiting room for
that stupid dial tone and you're just sitting there crying
waiting to be accepted into the Zoom call.

Speaker 7 (43:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
The funeral starts and it's like, Hayley is waiting to
be let in.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Your host will let you in soon. And then someone's
got their mic on and they're yappering away and the
dog's barking. Susan, can you mute the call, Susan? Can
you get me a wine from the fridge? Mute all
the callers. Mute all the callers.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
There's no jokes in them.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Should go in person, said Bailey.

Speaker 4 (44:03):
However, in COVID I zoomed in and it was a
freeing experience to just ugly cry without an audience or
having to worry about disturbing the Yeah, good call. The
funeral process because I was just having a good, loud,
ugly cry at home.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Maybe you could just, there's a tears button. Like a
heart button on a Twitch stream. That crying emoji and
it just rains down them. Yeah. And you can see
who's crying the most. Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
Oh, my God, yeah, Hayley's really upset.

Speaker 4 (44:26):
Cry, cry, cry.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
And then you're out of cries so you've got to
buy some more cries.

Speaker 4 (44:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Buying some cries. Buying some tokens from the funeral home.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
Someone's going, foot, question mark. You're like, not now, creepy cousin.
You keep putting like, rofk.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Rolling on the floor crying. Cry, yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Cole, crying out loud. Crying out loud. Wow.

Speaker 10 (44:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Cry my ass off. See now. See now.

Speaker 4 (44:47):
Well, today's Little Polls, how do you feel about Zoom funerals?
And 64% of you said, no, I'd rather attend in person.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
The Gen Z Stare. Now, let's bring in our Gen Zers.
And I want to know, Producer Carmen, Producer Shannon, do
you guys give us the Gen Z Stare?

Speaker 1 (45:08):
I feel like you don't. You don't do the Gen
Z Stare. Carmen was just doing it. I was trying
to do it.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
The Gen Z Stare on radio is.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
You can hear it. It cuts right through you. So
this is.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Reminiscent of how Gen Z's pick up the phone and
don't say hello.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Ring, ring, ring, and they go. Which, like... Who does that?
I've never heard that.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
It's such a thing.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
All the time.

Speaker 7 (45:30):
I'll call someone back because they've texted us with a
great story and I'm like, we must chat. silence when
i answer the phone i'm like hello but we often.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Are calling from a private number.

Speaker 6 (45:39):
No but also in the office because carmen and i
in this room are gen z but in the office
we're millennials man yeah we are old at zm yeah
and the amount of times the girls will either just
stare at you or yeah just not speak hello.

Speaker 4 (45:53):
Why are they staring because they don't know what to
say yet yeah i think so what would you do
if you don't know what.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
To say I just yap, eh? You just say, you fill,
we fill. The millennials, we're a generation of fillers. You
give us a gap, we'll fill it. Okay. So we'd
be like, okay, hold on.

Speaker 4 (46:09):
So if someone asks me a question and I don't
have the answer to it immediately, I need some time
to process.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
Yeah, why is custard yellow?

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Egg yolks.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 5 (46:17):
Like try finger something.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Yeah, something that you wouldn't know.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
Or like, are you able to sort out this spreadsheet
for us? Because we're going to be getting the investors
are coming in.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Yeah, something simple at work. Something simple at work. Like,
can you do your job? And they're just like, oh.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
So it was like the investors are coming in while
they're like processing what needs. I would say something like, oh,
so when are they coming in?

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they don't ask that. No, it's fine.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
Are they happy in the silence? Are they comfortable in
the silence? Because that's actually a skill in itself.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
I think they're happy in the silence.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
You know I like this generation. You know I like
this generation. Let's try it. Okay. But it really would
suck for our job. We can't go too silent. The
alarm goes off. Something's gone wrong. Something's gone wrong with
the radio station. I would be the opposite of this.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
And I think it's one of my best skills is
if there's an awkward situation or there's new people or anything,
I'll just talk.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
And I'll fill.

Speaker 4 (47:12):
Sometimes you just want people to shut up. Just keep going.
We need to take... Some people need a bit more
Gen Z stare. You don't need to talk the whole time.
This meeting's now gone for three quarters of an hour,
longer than.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
It needs to go.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
I'll Gen Z stare when I'm needing things to wrap
up and I've had enough. Or like premenstrual, you'll get a.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
The premenstrual stare. Yeah, that's different.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
That's a tighter lip than the Gen Z. You can
feel it. And it's like a knife is just coming
down and slicing the person.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (47:41):
You can feel that. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
I was reading a great article about a sports physiotherapist
who in particular works with female athletes and she was
talking about how she gets the FIFA Women's World Cup
team in.

Speaker 7 (48:05):
America.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
In America, ready to perform at a top level, at
a professional level and part of that is navigating their
cycles because.
When you're leading up to it, you feel more sluggish.
You're not feeling great. During it, you can be in pain.
We get one week per month where we feel good.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
Yeah. Sometimes you don't even get that.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
Sometimes you don't even get that.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
And you think about like even a World Cup, the
football World Cup seems to go on for like, Is
it six weeks?

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
A long time.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
Yeah, if you're part of something where you're going through rounds,
chances are at some game you're going to not be
feeling 100%.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
And so she has to do things like tailoring their
nutrition a bit more and pain relief and all that
kind of stuff. But you just can't fight it. And
then I remember, yeah, the Olympics, I can't remember what
country she was from, but there was a swimmer and
she didn't do nearly as well and she was being
interviewed on television.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
She was like, I got my period this morning.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
And you just feel sore and bloated.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
Yeah. I just gave your period syncing up a myth
because I was thinking that would be the ultimate way
to do it, right? Get all the girls into a
training camp early.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Sync up and then just try to time it with
the bike.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Is it a myth? It's a myth. Period syncing is
a myth.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
Scientific research shows that when people who menstruate spend time together,
their cycles do not actually align due to a biological connection.
It's the McClintoff effect. She suggested college... female college dorm
residents align their cycles over time.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
And everyone's like, hmm. No, you're all on your own thing.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
And that was Martha McClintock too, not Matthew McClintock. That
was a woman.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
So she was saying that she treats it kind of
like you've got an injury. I'm not feeling good or
I've got a sore shoulder or something. And then you
do that rather than the whole kind of blanket thing
of I've got my period. But sometimes it just comes at.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
The worst time. Well, imagine your wedding day. So this
was my friend.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
And then beyond the white dress, you probably have plans
that night.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
And I don't know if it's the most romantic thing
at the end of the day.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
But this is what I want to know.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
When did you get it at a really inconvenient time?
Maybe you had a big thing, you know, like a
sports game or something where you needed to be top
of your game and it just ruined it.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Or, yeah, an occasion.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
You're going on holiday and you've packed the teeniest little
bikini essence.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
And here she is.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
She stops for no one other than a baby. It
stops for nine months and a.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
Human comes out. God, we're already getting some messages. Okay,
0800 Giles at M, 9696, text through to the studio. Oh,
goodness me.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
When did you get your period at the most inconvenient time?

Speaker 1 (50:41):
Megan joins us. Megan, what happened?

Speaker 8 (50:43):
It was my first period, like, ever.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
And.

Speaker 6 (50:48):
I was at my first.

Speaker 8 (50:50):
Silk showcase, you know, like circus, like the fabric hanging
from the ceiling.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Hank does it. From the ceiling. Yeah, like that sort
of thing.

Speaker 8 (50:58):
And it was my, yeah, I got my first period.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
And I went to my coach and she was like,
oh my God, this is so exciting.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
You need to throw a party.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
We're not throwing parties. It's not that exciting.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
That's not my vibe. Also, we've watched a little bit
of silk circus performance. You kind of wrap the silk
between the legs.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Was the silk safe?

Speaker 6 (51:21):
Yeah, the silk was safe.

Speaker 7 (51:22):
I was in leggings.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Oh, thank God. But I had to wear a nighttime
pad because it was the only.

Speaker 5 (51:28):
One that we had.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
For you boys, a nighttime pad, it's like, It's a
glorified diaper.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
She's thick.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Right.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
She's not elegant. As thick as those big refill pads. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
Think about like a tip-top super soft slice.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Yeah. Like the big thick toast slices. Right, right. Oh, Megan,
thank you for sharing. Let's go to Anonymous. Anonymous, what happened?
Is that a dog? Yes, a dog.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
Oh, yes.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
Stand by.

Speaker 6 (52:00):
I'm just putting my dog at the kennel.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
He can come back to you if now's not good.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
He doesn't want you to leave.

Speaker 8 (52:08):
He's really upset every time.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 4 (52:14):
We'll come back to you in a minute. That dog's
either terrified or super excited.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Hard to tell the difference.

Speaker 4 (52:20):
I am back.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Okay, okay, she's back. Hi, Anonymous. Anonymous, when did it
strike at the worst time?

Speaker 4 (52:27):
So I raced in the Commonwealth Games in the 400 metres.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Wow. Oh, my God. Congratulations.

Speaker 10 (52:34):
Oh, thanks.

Speaker 7 (52:34):
So I raced on the first day of the Games
and I raced on the last day of the Games.

Speaker 5 (52:39):
So my first race.

Speaker 8 (52:40):
Was individual, 400 metres, and the day before I got
my period.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
And when I got my period.

Speaker 10 (52:49):
I used to have 10 days of a severe migraine.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
And, like, 50 vomits every month. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (52:56):
And... That happened the day before I raced.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
So you're in pain, you've got a migraine, you're throwing up,
and you're at the Commonwealth Games.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Yeah, yeah, ideal.

Speaker 8 (53:06):
And needless to say, I got second to last in
my heat.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
It was absolutely disastrous.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Oh, no.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
Do you believe, like, wholeheartedly in your soul that you
would have done better had it not have arrived?

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Oh, 100%.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
That's so disappointing.

Speaker 4 (53:28):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
But I raced on the last day and did okay.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
So that was fine.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
Great.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Okay, nice. Made up for it.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
But, yeah, disastrous.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
It really is. Can I ask what kind of dog
was that right at the start of the call? Yes, sir.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
What kind of dog was that right at the start
of the call?

Speaker 5 (53:45):
Oh, his name's Mr.

Speaker 8 (53:47):
Bear, and he is a Westie Booth. So half West
Highland Terrier and half poodle.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Oh, okay. He's very excited. He's very excited. Great day
playing with his friends at Doggy Day. Anonymous, thank you
so much for sharing some messages and so many.

Speaker 4 (54:01):
I got my period at the start line of the
Rootburn track. That was a three-night hike. Did not pack
any period products. Not a great time.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Do they have a vending machine at the first hut?
I don't think they do. I don't think they do. Kawakawa,
the answer to everything. Kawakawa. Bit of a one-stop shop
in the bush, the old Kawakawa. Shove it down there.
What did you do? Yeah, actually, five, double, three. If
we could get a follow-up on what actually... Would you
sacrifice a T-shirt?

Speaker 10 (54:22):
Oh, you'd bail.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
Do you bail? But then you've paid. Where's the start
of the root burn? Still in the middle of nowhere.
You'd still have a big drive to get to a store.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
No, you'd sacrifice a T-shirt and you'd make old-school rags.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
Located near Glenorchy. Where the term on the rag comes from.
Because that's the thing. You need to book these huts
and these trips so in advance and you wait hours.
forever to do this trope.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
Maybe you're just sort of doing it and then just
finding a river.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
You know what I mean? And asking for forgiveness. Yeah,
but beers. You've got to watch the beers on the
root burn.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Yeah. I was duck shooting in a maimai on a swamp, basically.
No clean water, let alone toilets or anything. My partner
gets her period without fail every year when we're out there. God,
you'd think of it, the maimai. Yeah. Got my period
while trying on wedding dresses. Got on one of them.
The woman helping me had seen it before.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
That's almost like the bridesmaid scene when they vom over her.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
When she shits and they throw up everywhere.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
The lady was very kind, didn't charge me anything for
it and got me a sanitary product.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Oh, that's nice. A few people saying they got theirs
on the way to get a colonoscopy. And it wasn't scheduled.

Speaker 4 (55:29):
It wasn't prepared, had nothing with me, wasn't scheduled to happen,
just kind of kicked off a little bit early.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Is that because you flushed your body? Yeah, maybe. Or
the heaving when you're doing the prep.

Speaker 4 (55:40):
On my wedding day, I took tranexamic acid to stop it,
but then that delayed my ovulation and I ended up
getting pregnant unexpectedly.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
Whoa. Okay.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Someone said, remember when Lydia Clow.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
Clow?

Speaker 3 (55:54):
Lydia Ko was being interviewed and her physiotherapist came out
to give some back pain relief.

Speaker 7 (56:00):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
And they were like, oh, God, you know, are you worried?
What's this injury? And she's like, no, I just.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
It's that time of the month and I'm sore.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:07):
I'm about to run a 102-kilometre ultramarathon and got it.
Let's just say all dignity went out the window on
that track.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
My period arrived on the third mile of my 10K
at the Mount a couple of weeks ago. I had
an inkling that prick would arrive early, so I was
wearing appropriate underwear, but was not prepared for the crippling
cramps and blinding headache that crept in as I ran on.
Finished in good time, didn't collapse.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
Got my period on the first day of the honeymoon.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
We were exactly away for five days, so I had
my period the entire honeymoon.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Not a great start to married life. Those poor towels.
The poor person that had to keep bringing more towels.
Holy shit.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
Our best friend did assisted death.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
I'm so sorry to hear that. This is wild. What?

Speaker 3 (56:51):
My best friend did assisted death and I decided to
wear white pants. As she was on her final moments,
I felt the gush and it was as if she
was playing a horrible prank on her way out.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Wow. Wow, that's full on. I'm really sorry about.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Your best friend, but like my best friend would find
that so delightful.

Speaker 1 (57:13):
Yeah, we'll find that very funny. And she died. And
you're like, no.

Speaker 2 (57:19):

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Is this show real?

Speaker 9 (57:22):

Speaker 4 (57:25):
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Fact of the day is brought to you by St. Pierre's.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Fact!

Speaker 4 (57:46):
Today's sushi of the day is eight pieces of salmon supreme. Oh,
it's my favourite day. It's great for the brain.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
The memory. Yeah, it's good for the omega-3s. It's because
of the omega-3s. Yeah. You've got to have your omega-3s.

Speaker 4 (57:59):
Well, I've tried the fish oil tablets, but I get
burpy afterwards and I don't like the taste.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
That's why you've just got to do salmon. You could
do it at home. In the pan and stuff, it's
a little bit of an order. No, no, no, dude.
Eight minutes in the air fryer.

Speaker 6 (58:09):
Perfect.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Perfect.

Speaker 4 (58:11):
That sounds good because I need it for my short-term
memory because I've tried the fish oil tablets. But anyway,
it's hormone week here at Fact of the Day. Yesterday, Hayley,
we met oxytocin, the bonding hormone.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Oh, nice. Today we're meeting your friend and mine, cortisol. Oh, no.

Speaker 3 (58:25):
I once got my cortisol levels checked. I did a
blood test.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Why? Did you hear a podcast and then go to
your doctor and say, I need all these things checked? No, no, no.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
Cortisol's high in PCOS, gals.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Correct.

Speaker 7 (58:38):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
And she was like, well, just check it.

Speaker 3 (58:41):
And then she told me the number and it was
like 1,400 and something or other.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
And I was like, is that normal? She was like,
well above. What are you saying? Well above.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
Well, cortisol is known as a stress hormone and cortisol
can rat you out.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
Before your face does.

Speaker 4 (58:57):
Because when cortisol is released into your system, it actually
changes the tension of your vocal cords.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
It can tighten them. So your voice just gets a
little bit higher. I'm not stressed. I'm not stressed. Something
like that. Wow. And one of the ways that.

Speaker 4 (59:10):
police can test you for lie detectors, like the lie
detector test is your temperature, but also like.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
They can listen for it in your voice.

Speaker 4 (59:19):
When you lie, your voice can increase a little bit
because you don't even mean to do it, but the
cortisol hormone tightens the vocal cords.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Which of course makes your voice go a little bit tight.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
They'll never get there.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
And it changes your breathing. Did you kill him? I'd
be like, no. Did you do it?

Speaker 6 (59:34):
No.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
No.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
It can change your breathing as well. It makes them
shorter and more panicked breaths.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Yes. I wonder if AI using these kind of detectors
will replace the lie detector, the poly, what do you
call it? Polygraph. Polygraph. Yeah, the poly and graphs. Hell
of a breakfast show. One hell of a show.

Speaker 4 (59:56):
So, yeah, it's like the built-in lie detector. It can
heighten the voice. Some other things that this fun, fun, fun,
fun hormone does. It peaks about 30 minutes after you
wake up. It's called the cortisol awakening response. It's to
get you started for the day.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Give you a little panic in the morning. Give you
a little, hey, welcome to Fletcher and Hayley, where you
panic in the morning.

Speaker 4 (01:00:15):
And it hits its last around midnight Because that's when
obviously you shouldn't need it But sometimes at 2 o'clock
in the morning it's like Hey Vaughan, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
Why are you asleep?

Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
I was thinking I might Freak us out for three
hours It can also affect your ability to recall memories
in the moment. So when you get really stressed, when
you get into an exam and people say, I can't
think of it, it's because the hormone floods your body
and it prioritises survival rather than recall.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
Or like dropping a line if you're doing like a
theatre show or something. You're nervous and you're like this
and you come out and you're like.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
What's my line?

Speaker 4 (01:00:48):
It can also be linked to belly fat storage. Chronically
high cortisol is linked to fat storage around the abdomen.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:00:55):
And now short bursts of cortisol can actually boost your
immune system.

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
So that's where you're like your quick ice baths and stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
And afterwards people report, you know, feeling, feeling energized because
it spikes the cortisol and it kind of like boom.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
And it can short term.

Speaker 4 (01:01:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Good for the immune system. Long term. Not good. Not good.
Wears you out. Exhausts you. Now here's a way to
lower it. Laughter. Laughter.

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
There have been many scientific studies that show laughing, even
watching something funny, being happier and laughing causes a measurable
drop in cortisol level within minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
Come on, we're going to get it down.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
It affects your blood sugar control as well.

Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
Right. So that's pretty good stuff. And, of course, you
hear about people who get stressed and lose a chunk
of hair. It can be linked to hair thinning and
the tightening of the follicles. Which means that the hair
falls out and won't regrow until... Is that why we
lost our hair?

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Yeah, big cortisol spike. That's the only reason why.

Speaker 4 (01:01:44):
Huge cortisol spike. So it's a fun... It's a fun hormone, cortisol.
And today's fact of the day is cortisol tightens your
vocal cords and you won't even know it, but your
voice goes up in pitch.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Well, it's the end of an era.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
The time has come. It couldn't last forever. It's come
sooner than.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
I would have liked, but I am now no longer
a Mazda-bassador. I received the call from lovely Derek that
North Harbour Mazda has been sold.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Right. And I said... What's some violins? You lose a
free car and it's like the end of the world,
isn't it? I'm feeling it too. I bet. I don't
know what this is. Sad violin? Did you search sad violin?
I'll see if I can get a cry going. Oh yeah,

(01:02:52):
this works. Beautiful. I got my first.

Speaker 3 (01:02:54):
Mazda in 2009 when my Peugeot carked it on the
Kaiwharewhare Gorge in Wellington.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
You're Persia. Out of interest, what Persia? 206? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
306.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
It was a red one.

Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
It was a repossessed vehicle because someone didn't pay my dad.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
So he gave it to you? Was it actually owned?
You were using it while it was being held in
case this person... I don't think I ever technically owned it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:23):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
And it parked it in the Kaiwharewhare Gorge and my
mum lent me her Mazda 6.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
No, Mazda 3. And I just never gave it back.

Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
And then moved to Auckland in that thing and had
to get it cubed because I had done 400 kilometres.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
And she was tired.

Speaker 6 (01:03:42):
400,000?

Speaker 4 (01:03:42):
400,000, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Sorry, I'm upset. Then I bought an absolute limit of
a Mazda 3 from....

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
Pax Asadi, famously didn't have a spare tyre, which I
learnt when my tyre burst. And I parted ways with
that and became a Mazda ambassador.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
And it was beautiful. Man, I started in the convertible,
didn't I? You did, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
And I went to the big mum mobile and I said,
hey man.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
This is too much room.

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
And they put me in a Mazda CX-5 and I've
got to return it next week.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
It's in a state. I've been moving stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
I've been renovating in that thing and I've got to
return it because North Harbour Mazda was sold. I think
I'm done with this sad music now.

Speaker 4 (01:04:25):
Are they not taking their ambassadors with them to wherever
they go? No, no.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
North Harbour Mazda was no more. So I'm no longer
a Mazda ambassador.

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
So you're Carlos in a few weeks.

Speaker 7 (01:04:35):
Shit.

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
Well, here's the thing. My parents are still overseas, so
I've got their car.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
For a little bit. It's the Mercedes. I also represent.
Was that also represented? Years later.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
But it's a bit of a lemon car. Like it's not,
when I say Mercedes, don't picture what you think you're picturing.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
This is like, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:04:53):
Picture one of those ones that you see, Like a
kid driving to high school because mum got a new
Mercedes and they kept the old Mercedes because they liked it.
It was a fourth-hand car.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:05:04):
One of those real old ones that every time you
take it to a mechanic, it's going to be thousands
of dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
Oh, yeah, baby.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
And now the issue is I've never had a new car.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
I've never bought a new car.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
I've either had these repossessed things or hand-me-downs or Pax's hand-me-downs.
And then I've just had this lovely year of getting
these new cars and I've become accustomed to the zip
of a new car. And then I was over in
Melbourne and there was a car enthusiast and he was like,
get something silly. And I was like, yeah, I think
I'll get something real silly. And then everyone else was.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Like, don't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
Don't do a stupid old car that's going to cost
you money.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
No. But now, I don't know, I'm car shopping. I've
got to buy a vehicle. You need to get one
of the BYDs or something, one of the... Electric ones.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
The issue is I've got no money.

Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
Oh, okay. Because I'm renovating at the moment.

Speaker 7 (01:05:53):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
So this, yeah. What does a Toyota Aquar go for?
I've got no money, but I also have.

Speaker 6 (01:06:00):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
Are you hearing this, Carlin? I also have.

Speaker 7 (01:06:04):
Really?

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
She thinks she's too good for an Aquar. I think
she needs to be humbled. I don't think she's too good.
You know what?

Speaker 5 (01:06:08):
Me and my Aquar are doing good for the environment.

Speaker 4 (01:06:10):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
I see that you're doing good every morning when I
pass you. 20 kilometres faster.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
Than you're going. I'm not going slow.

Speaker 5 (01:06:15):
I'm going the speed limit.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
I've been doing a little bit of research, you know,
and I want something with speed because I can't do
a sluggish.

Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
Why don't you borrow Vaughan's chimney? I have. The offer's there.
You need to clean it, though.

Speaker 10 (01:06:32):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
Inside and out.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
I am too impatient to drive the Jimny.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
And it's blowy on the motorway. Yeah, and it's a
car for uni girls.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
North Shore uni girls and Vaughan. Hey!

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
I know, but also I need the sound system. So
the person who just texts in saying goodbye, they're 2003
Daihatsu Medu.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
I'm all good. Oh, I love those cars. My nana
had one of those. I hired one once. Practical.

Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
All I could afford when I went down south and
I drove it up. The road up Kadrona with the
Japanese on that trike over Snowboarding. He was speaking Japanese
and I didn't know what he was saying. I was
just like, I reckon hold on, dude.

Speaker 10 (01:07:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
I love a Daihatsu Mara. Yeah, well, wish me luck.

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
I'm going to be carless and car shopping for a bit.
I sort of want something that goes.

Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
Well, I was hanging out with my brother. She's driving
a chainsaw by the sounds of that. Yeah, well, that's
sort of my budget.

Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
I was hanging out with my brother who does sim racing.
He builds simulated car rigs and also drives a, it's
like a Nissan, no, a Hyundai, you know, three turbo
engine thing that makes a racket when he comes out
of the garage.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
That only ought to show in LA.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
No, he's from Whangarei and I think that's really showing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
Yeah. Anyway, wish me luck.

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
Oh, people are saying that I would suit a Subaru Legacy.

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
Why are you saying that?

Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
Because you're... I would say this year I've looked gayer
than ever.

Speaker 9 (01:07:58):
That's fair.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
There's been a scientific review of 57 studies that suggests
that music may do more than distract from pain. It
may change how the brain and body function. register pain signals.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
Like how it actually processes it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:15):
Yes. Because you know what?

Speaker 3 (01:08:17):
When I, this is Sammy who's done, who did my
Vaughan tattoo. She used to say to me like, pain's
in the head.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
But she was like, it is, it's a mental game.

Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
Cut off your head and you won't feel pain.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
Yeah. So, but music makes you feel better. And that
people with chronic pain, they might be able to listen
to songs that, and moving in sync with that song
showed measurable pain-easing effects on their own. Yeah. I'm sure
people with chronic pain love being.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
Told just listen to a song you like and move
a bit, love.

Speaker 3 (01:08:50):
So that was one of the main findings, right? Producer
Shannon's in studio. She's nervous, which is so funny because
I was like, well, let's put it to the test.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
Put my body on the line. And I think it's
more appropriate that Shannon slaps me than you two.

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
Yeah, fair call. It just feels that way. So you're
going to endure some pain.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Well, because one of the factors was you've got to
choose a song. The person who's going to receive the pain...
Chooses the music. If it was chosen for me, it
wouldn't have as strong an effect.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:09:20):
So I've chosen a song that, like, we were literally
talking off air.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
No matter what. Always makes me feel good. A 22-year-old
song with three and a half billion streams. And still
in the New Zealand top 50 as well. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah,
it was in the top 50. All this time.

Speaker 8 (01:09:33):
Wild.

Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:34):
Wild.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Okay. So hang on. So pause. Should I?

Speaker 3 (01:09:38):
Are we going to? We need to compare it against
just raw.

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
Dog and pain. Just the control pain. I've got two cheeks.
So I think she should slap me.

Speaker 6 (01:09:46):
Raw dog.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
Okay, no music. But do you think that's going to
hurt more?

Speaker 3 (01:09:52):
But then she'll slap me on the other side with music.

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
How's she going to slap? Don't backhand me.

Speaker 4 (01:09:56):
I think she has to go on the same side.
I just got a birthday notification on my laptop that's
plugged in for Mr.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
Brightside. So in case anybody was just freaking out.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
I think you need to hit me on one cheek.
I've just warmed myself up. And then on the other
one with music.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
It's going to hurt. What are you, right-handed or left-handed?

Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
It's going to hurt less with the left hand anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
She's not going to be full whack.

Speaker 1 (01:10:19):
Why is she going to be full whack? This is science. Shannon,
you've got to give it a bit of a whack.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
Can I have like a waiver here?

Speaker 5 (01:10:25):
Like this is, we're all good.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
You're fine.

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
Just for management listeners.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
That's not a waiver. You're fine. You're fine. It's not
a waiver. Which side are you going to go on now?
You've got to take your headphones off. Left hand, left
cheek for no music. No music. Okay, no music. All right,
here we go. So you're going to go this way.

Speaker 5 (01:10:42):
I'm going to go this way. Or your left hand,
right cheek.

Speaker 8 (01:10:44):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
Hold your mic.

Speaker 5 (01:10:46):
Did we make eye contact?

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
Or are you going to shut your eyes?

Speaker 3 (01:10:48):
Slap me, you bitch.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
Oh, okay, rock me up. Yeah, you stupid. You don't
know how to do your job.

Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
Go.

Speaker 8 (01:10:54):
Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
It wasn't light. It wasn't light. It had a connection.
It connected. It was the timing of it, too.

Speaker 7 (01:11:11):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
Okay, Vaughn, if we could have that. While we're in
the heat of the moment, then I'll compare notes. Your
cheek is gone red. Get it into a bit of
a chorus-y bit. Where does it get to the chorus-y bit?
Are you ready? Are you ready? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, oh, Jesus.
I forgot I was so well ready to receive.

Speaker 7 (01:11:31):
Okay, ready?

Speaker 4 (01:11:31):
Ready?

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
Oh, wait, but I need to hear the music. Taking control. Oh,
you've got to be listening to the music. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
Wait, keep playing the music.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
For the pain.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
I've got to enjoy the music. I've got to move
with the music. But it's just a price, Susie. I'm
going to get slapper again on the chorus. Fed up
my ego. That is the chorus. Surely this. No, that's
the chorus.

Speaker 3 (01:12:06):
You just want Shannon to slap me again.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
It was pretty funny to watch. Okay, first of all, Shannon,
good hit. Yeah, good slaps. Good slaps. Good slaps.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
Afterwards, you immediately cower and sort of go, ooh. So
if in a real fight, I think you'd have to
stand there.

Speaker 10 (01:12:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
Now, the first slap without music, compared to the slap
with music, was there less pain?

Speaker 5 (01:12:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
Yeah. Because you're basically distracted, right?

Speaker 3 (01:12:29):
You're distracted and immediately put more into a joyful place.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
The first one, in silence, you're just like, ow. It echoes.
And it stings.

Speaker 3 (01:12:37):
And all you've got to focus on is the burning
and the hot.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
Did we just do science? We just did science.

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
This is like we could have done this at high
school and then put it on a display board and
showed it at a science fair.

Speaker 4 (01:12:51):
Pain.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Pain. Silent pain versus musical pain. Now, Shannon, you choose
a song, and I'll hit you back.

Speaker 6 (01:12:57):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
She was too keen. She was. She was.

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. What is in your algorithm all
the time? And maybe because you just clicked one thing. Or,
I don't know, you got into the football, the FIFA
World Cup, and now there's this hot footballers in your algorithm.
And you're like, stop it. Stop. Stop. Curaçao, please. Producer Carwin,

(01:13:26):
who is getting married or is engaged, it's all up
in your feed at the moment.

Speaker 4 (01:13:30):
It's everywhere.

Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
And I get it, right?

Speaker 7 (01:13:32):
Like they've got some serious SEO going on, the targeted
searches and stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:13:36):
But I've only clicked.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
On one thing.

Speaker 5 (01:13:37):
And it was actually designer wardrobe advertising a wedding dress
to me. And I was like, huh, click, to see
what it looks like.

Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
You only have to linger a few seconds and they
got you.

Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
Yeah, and they're like, she liked it, she liked it,
she liked it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
And you're like, oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (01:13:51):
And now I know about every wedding venue on the planet.

Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:13:55):
And it doesn't need to be like targeted advertising. It
could just be like a theme.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
Mine's vintage shopping. Mine's antiquing. That's it, that's it, that's it.
On both pages.

Speaker 4 (01:14:04):
Stretching your lower back. Yeah, and the dishwasher, yeah, everything.
How to stretch the lower back. And the dishwashing sheets.
What do you mean dishwashing sheets?

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
Stop, stop, stop talking. I'm too horny. Stop, you've turned
on everyone too much.

Speaker 4 (01:14:18):
And the thing is, when I lean over to put
the sheet in the dishwasher, I go.

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
I've got a sore lower back. You've got a sore
lower back. Georgia, what's in your algorithm at the moment?

Speaker 10 (01:14:26):
Well, funny we say this because it's literally just come
up now. It's called, like, Drama Wave or, like, Drama
TV on Facebook, and it's literally, like, AI'd, horny-ass, like,
short films. This one's about, like, biker gang takes a queen,
and he, like... takes, and it's like, jeez.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
And it's 9.23 of the AM. He gets her on
a bike, and then that is crazy. No, if you
don't know her on the bike, I don't even want
to know. It's full, I literally.

Speaker 10 (01:14:51):
Stayed up till like 11pm the other night watching it,
and then I was like.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Hang on, this is not real, and also. And it's
all AI. It's all AI. Oh, But they're all hot.
They're better than that, but they're not real. Yeah, I know,
but it's so good.

Speaker 10 (01:15:03):
Like you could be there for hours and then it
will get to a certain point where it's like, now
sign up for more.

Speaker 1 (01:15:07):
And I'm like, we're not going that far.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
So you stayed up till 11 o'clock and you're like,
I don't know why it's all over my social media.
I was only up till 11 o'clock last night watching.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
Hayne was asleep next to me.

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
Chain smoking episodes of AI generated softcore.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
It was so bizarre, eh? Wouldn't watch normal.

Speaker 3 (01:15:24):
Just the AI version.

Speaker 1 (01:15:26):
She's very prudish. Yeah, she's very prudish. Once a week. Well,
this is what we want to know. 0800 DARS at M.
Flick us a text because we find this so funny. 9696.
What is dominating.

Speaker 3 (01:15:38):
Your algorithm at the moment? I have a very innocent
Instagram at the moment.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Abby, what is all up in your feed at the moment?

Speaker 8 (01:15:48):
So it's actually my grandma's feed. She came to family
dinner a couple of weeks ago and she was so
stressed out about it. She has these dancing AI policemen
and they're everywhere. She showed me her YouTube shorts, her Facebook,
her Instagram. They're everywhere. And she got really stressed thinking

(01:16:08):
that she got hacked. policeman had hacked her phone and
she didn't realise it was AI she's like Abby what
are all the policemen doing dancing oh my god Abby.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
Oh no so what she just saw one video once
and lingered and watched it and now I think.

Speaker 8 (01:16:24):
She was so so intrigued as to why the policemen
were dancing she stayed and must have watched it a
couple of times I would be intrigued too yeah And
then they were like, yep, she loves it. All she
wants to see is dancing policemen. This is what the
65-year-old woman needs to see on a daily basis.

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
You need to start.

Speaker 4 (01:16:40):
I think they have worse things to see as a
65-year-old woman than sexy dancing policemen.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
I think they need to send her things. Oh, they're
not sexy policemen. And they all do the same dance,
don't they? Yeah, yeah. It's all the one dance that
AI's got. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:55):
I think you should start sending her stuff. to reset
her algorithm. More nana at grandma's house.

Speaker 8 (01:17:01):
She's in a dancing fireman.

Speaker 4 (01:17:01):
Yeah, I mean, you might as well get your entire
emergency services ticked off.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
Yeah, get some paramedics in there. Absolutely, let's get it. Yeah,
might as well. Good luck, grandma. Love that. Thank you,
Abby Arani. Good morning.

Speaker 10 (01:17:12):
Hi there.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
What's in your algorithm at the moment?

Speaker 2 (01:17:16):
3D printing.

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
What are you looking to print? Oh, just everything. I
just started up a small little business, 3D printing.

Speaker 4 (01:17:26):
Oh, right. So you've Googled a few things in the
social media as like, you were going to love this
3D printed minion thing. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:17:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
Something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:17:38):
Does it like link you to like the designs to
download so you can 3D print them too?

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
Or is it just. Yeah, not everything.

Speaker 8 (01:17:46):
So it's, interesting things that I've printed today or best
place to download 3D printing stuff or.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
Where to find all the elements. It is weird.

Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
It's like the algorithm is exhibit on Pimp My Ride
in the early 2000s. It's just you mentioned one thing
once and he's like, this kid likes horses.

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
She likes that. She likes that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
Rani, thank you. Jordan, what's in your feed at the moment,
your algorithm?

Speaker 4 (01:18:11):
Hi, morning.

Speaker 5 (01:18:12):
I have a six-week-old baby, so my Instagram, Facebook.

Speaker 1 (01:18:16):
TikTok is all how to burp and fart babies at
the moment. It sounds like you need some dancing policemen. Yeah,
sounds like it. Or the firemen sounded pretty good. Some
hot firemen. I mean, if you search hot firemen... I
just know from Hayley's experience. It really sort of sets
things up. It takes some hard work, but you can

(01:18:38):
sway that algorithm.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
I like to go fire people.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
Put some work in. Yeah. Oh, my Lord, they're in
the rain. Oh, they are too, aren't they? God, they're
getting all wet. They're shooting for the calendar. Here they are. Jordan,
thank you. Some messages. Oh, holy moly. That guy always
gets me, eh? The tattoo.

Speaker 3 (01:18:55):
The tattoo on the gutters.

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
The tattoo. Fireman. Leave me to paradise.

Speaker 4 (01:18:59):
Someone said, mine's just a million different versions of that
song that goes, he want to lick my boomba. Crazy
for that poo na na na.

Speaker 1 (01:19:10):
Brilliant. Can we say poo-na-na-na-na on here?

Speaker 4 (01:19:12):
You can say anything if you bust out the syllables
and just repeat the offensive part.

Speaker 1 (01:19:16):
Yeah, right, right.

Speaker 4 (01:19:18):
Somebody said, yep, I'm on the newborn baby wagon as well.
All the different pumps are extracting the baby milk. Somebody
else said, talking cockatoos. Hilarious, but stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:19:30):
Hilarious, but stupid. Somebody else said, big booty girls in
tight yoga pants. Hot.

Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
Somebody else said, fake goth girls dressed in Starbucks clothes. Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
Aprons spitting in coffees.

Speaker 10 (01:19:41):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
Wait, on Starbucks time or in their own time? No,
I don't think they actually even work at Starbucks. They
just get a green apron. Yeah, and then put the
logo on it.

Speaker 9 (01:19:50):
Oh, no.

Speaker 1 (01:19:50):
Well, that's not good for Starbucks, is it?

Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
I've wondered when Starbucks will be like, excuse me. Excuse me,
could you stop that? But in a way, it's kind
of like advertising, so is it?

Speaker 1 (01:19:59):
Yeah, but that's misleading because then you go to Starbucks
expecting a baddie to spit in your coffee and they won't.
I mean, they will if your ass lies.

Speaker 3 (01:20:05):
Yeah, they're like, do you want a shot of caramel?
You're like, is that the code word?

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
I want a shot of something. I'll have a shot
of Big Goth.

Speaker 4 (01:20:13):
My feet is full of men's underwear ever since you
guys talked about Hawkeye modelling the underwear a few weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (01:20:19):
Oh, yeah, the one that had the hammock that kept
the balls from the.

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
Separated the bits and pieces. Oh, yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you sure? It sounds like they're blaming us for
something else. Thank you, I think, is the word you're
looking for. Yeah, you've got to keep searching for it
to come up. So is it our fault? Eventually, if
you look at anything else, it will reset.

Speaker 4 (01:20:38):
This might be our fault. Francis said it's just all peptides.
Lots of peptide advertising. Yeah, there's plenty of peptides. And
videos of their husbands annoying their wives.

Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:20:49):
Do you think you'd get on the peptides if you
have to get yourself a.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
New husband maybe? Sort of sort the algorithm.

Speaker 4 (01:20:53):
And then it'll start annoying you and then you can
get another one because you're on the peptides. Weird AI
aliens that tell jokes is my current algorithm.

Speaker 1 (01:20:59):
Oh, God. Don't tell Georgia. She'll be into that. Oh, yeah,
that sounds like a bit of you.

Speaker 10 (01:21:04):
No, guys, I'm not into, like, fairies and aliens and stuff,
all right?

Speaker 4 (01:21:08):
Well, it's a slippery slope from your sexy bike gang
picking a new queen to someone with tentacles for arms.

Speaker 3 (01:21:14):
I don't want the tentacles doing anything with those arms.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
You're going to get tentacle arms.

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
You say that now.

Speaker 4 (01:21:20):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
It's a gateway. It's a gateway drive.

Speaker 10 (01:21:22):
No, because these are all human-looking.

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
Botox is a gateway to a breast lift.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
For now. This is the gateway. Nah, I don't need
a breast lift.

Speaker 2 (01:21:30):

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
Is this show real?

Speaker 9 (01:21:32):

Speaker 3 (01:21:35):
Now, are you in the dregs of a relationship and
you're just, you're really, in the trenches is probably what
I meant more than the dregs. But you're just slogging
through it and maybe your sparks disappeared a bit. You know,
winter's tough and you're, everyone's not.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
Feeling very good at the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
Well, a relationship therapist has shared online what she does
to reignite spark.

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
And this is free for anyone. Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
That is maybe feeling that at the moment. First thing
that the couples therapist says to do, one, do a
first date, like an actual first date vibe once a month.
So somewhere you've never been before, dress that you're trying
to impress each other again, you know, like you would
on a first date, not like, oh, I just want
to go comfy.

Speaker 1 (01:22:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
Wear your nice undies, do something like that, try to
impress each other. Your brain loves novelty and long-term love
gets very stale. So this, you'll be like, oh, new restaurant,
new activity, new undies.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
You can pretend to be different people too. Hello, is
this it to take on?

Speaker 3 (01:22:32):
I am a spy, but I have the night off.

Speaker 4 (01:22:34):
The thing about picking up an accent for the role play.

Speaker 1 (01:22:36):
You've got to keep up the accent because the minute
you drop it, it drops the magic, you know?

Speaker 6 (01:22:40):
I know.

Speaker 4 (01:22:40):
A couple of drinks, it's getting worse and problematic. And
go for a simple accent, you know?

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
Howdy! Okay, the second bit is bring back anticipation.

Speaker 3 (01:22:49):
Don't tell them every detail of every plan or every
detail of your day. Like, we're going to do something,
but it's kind of this.

Speaker 1 (01:22:58):
Yeah, I like that. And then even if you.

Speaker 3 (01:23:00):
Which is funny because I think Maddie was talking about
this recently, which is like, you know, when you just
tell your partner throughout the day everything that you're doing,
you get home, you've got nothing to talk about. You've
got to have a little bit of anticipation. Send them
a text being like, I've got something for you later.
And then be like, don't know what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
Nice. And it could be a lovely bunch of flowers.
It could be a little treat.

Speaker 3 (01:23:19):
It could be some sex. It could be anything like that.
But just a little bit of anticipation. Third point of four.

Speaker 1 (01:23:27):
Wish you did five. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:23:29):
Third point is reintroduce yourselves. Ask questions that you've genuinely
never met.

Speaker 1 (01:23:33):
That's nice.

Speaker 3 (01:23:34):
Like tell me something about you. Tell me about a
childhood memory. Don't assume that you've known anything.

Speaker 1 (01:23:40):
This is a good question.

Speaker 3 (01:23:41):
What's something that you've changed your mind about recently? Something
that you used to believe maybe and that's changed? And
then the fourth one is flirt in, what is it?

Speaker 1 (01:23:50):
With strangers. Yeah, flirt, open it up. No, they don't
always love that. No, they don't love it.

Speaker 4 (01:23:55):
No, they don't.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
No, that's the gays talking there. No, flirt, oh my God,
the slideshow TikTok, I hate you. Flirt in inconvenient places.
Send risky messages across the dinner table. Send them a
little compliment when you're brushing your teeth or something like that.
Grab their hand in the grocery store. Romance gets hotter
when it comes into like.

Speaker 1 (01:24:13):
A public area. Nice. There you go.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
So if you're feeling stale or, what was your advice?

Speaker 1 (01:24:20):
Open it up. Open it up. Yeah, yeah. And never
trust anyone ever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that the podcast done?
Because I'm busting for a poos. Busting for a poos. Jesus.

Speaker 3 (01:24:32):
