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. Good morning,
happy Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Today on
the show, the hottest tickets in town.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Oh my God. I was like, which artist? Many artists.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Some of the best artists. The was. That's right. You
missed out on tickets yesterday. Yeah, when I was.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
See, this was a big screen job and I did
it on my phone. And that's where I feel I
went wrong. As a millennial, I've got to sit down
at a big computer for the big jobs. But I
did it on my phone, on the app. Yeah, that's madness.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
I would never.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
I was in a waiting room from like five minutes out.
But when I got in, I was like four. What
did I send you guys, a screen cap?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I was like 5,000.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
5,000th in line? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I was like, this is never happening. Finally get in.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
There's like.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Two sections of seats left. I click on one section,
watch the last two tickets from there disappear, went to
the other section, watched the last, and so I was
very upset. However, I've got myself four tickets, and I've
got listeners. two tickets this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
He's a good man. He's a good man.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
I pulled some strings.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I pulled some personal strings here.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Did you pull a do you know who I am?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
No, I didn't pull a do you know who I am.
I've sold my soul.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
To various people. Right.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
We're probably going to have to do a promotion for someone,
are we? That's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
We'll do it so you can go to the ones
as well. Well, the one NZ Warriors are taking on
the Dolphins. It's a sold out qualifying final at Go
Media Stadium and today on the show at some stage
before 10 o'clock the activator will play Asking you to
call through. The first caller through, you get a double
pass to see the Warriors. This weekend, the 1NZ Warriors

(01:45):
taking on the Dolphins. All thanks to 1NZ. That double
pasta giveaway today on the show.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Sealed out.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Also, free fuel. 8 o'clock yesterday, we gave away $ 1, 267
or $ 76 of fuel.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
One of those.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
One of those. $ 1, 200 of fuel.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
That was the most. And this is, we don't hear the,
we don't know when we play the countdown what it's
going to be.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
BP rewards just go up and down.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
But this went down and we were like. Say stop! Oh,
my God.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
With your chance, thanks to BP, to get some free
fuel this morning at 8 o'clock. The top six is
on the way.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, mushroom killer Erin Patterson has been approved for taxpayer-funded
ozempic while she's in prison. Now, what a headline that
was to read yesterday.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, people weren't happy, were they?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
No.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
So I've got the top six medications I'd do a
stint in prison for.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's very expensive.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
Oh, yeah, I did.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Next on the show, though, we head to Christchurch, where
a pack and save is fighting a losing battle. This,
I had no idea, and I apologise to Christchurch listeners
who are listening right now and being like, yeah, biatch,
we know. The massive pack and save on Morehouse Ave.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Right?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I know I can picture it now, but what I
haven't pictured is thousands of red-billed gulls who have occupied
the building.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Are they seagulls?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, seagulls. What makes them red-billed? They've got a red beak.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
They've got a red beak.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Black and black belt girls.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I'm embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
She might not get this.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Guess how you identify a black belt girl.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
So if a red belt girl has a red beak
and a black belt guy.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
And a beak is also known as a belt. So
black belt. Sort of colour indicating.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Black. So are they black feathers?

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Don't some have orange?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Orange belt. Orange belt girls.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Aren't seagulls orange as well? Do they have orange? Or
is it the big ones?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
The albatrosses.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Or the mollies.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
No, they've got a standard greyish.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
Right.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Why do so many of them have one leg? Are
they tricking you into giving you a chip?

Speaker 4 (03:54):
They don't.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
I know.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
They don't. It's tucked up there and then you're like, oh,
my God, you poor amputee.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Oh, my gosh, yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
You're going to get so confused, Hayley, because there's a
gull called the great black-backed gull.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now, guess what part of their body is black?

Speaker 2 (04:07):
If it's black as well.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Their backs.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
No, they're all white.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, they're a bit grey. So these are the red-billed gulls.
Since 2013, the red-billed gulls have roosted on the roof
of Pack and Save Moor House in Christchurch. And this
year it's gotten so much worse.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
So they're nesting up there.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
They are nesting. And apparently it's an ornithologist.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's a person that studies birds.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Bird person.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Bird boy.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Bird man. Bird boy Peter Langlands says this is a
nationally significant chunk of the whole species that go to
Morehouse Ave in Christchurch.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Get up there and shoot them all. Oh, Carl. Oh, Carl,
you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
We've got to move them along. They are using it
over winter as a breeding zone.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Oh, God, the stink. The stink.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Why there? They say it's safe, but still open. Predator free,
so the stoats and rats and stuff aren't up on
the Morehouse air pack and say. Let's get a couple.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Of pusses up there.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
A couple of pusses.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
A couple of pussycats.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
A couple of pusses on the pack and say roof.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
We've got to move them somewhere else. Elimination's not the answer.
I don't think the cats will do much. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
So, and the rain that hits this massive tin roof
washes away all their mess. And so they're like, this
is a self-cleaning bloody shag pad.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
It's just like shag and shit wherever you want, guys.
The rain comes and it washes away all of our mess.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
It's this beautiful sort of like silky, you know, like
beautiful clear material, you know, that just washes away easily.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
And then you can pop downstairs for two broccolis for $ 3. 00.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Get some bread out of the bin. Apparently the numbers
of the Tarapunga, which is the red-billed gull, have halved.
It's got a Māori name.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
We can't get up there in bloody coloured.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
No. The minute you do that.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
The minute you give a name in the radio, it's
not killing.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
They've halved since 1983 due to changes in marine food.
There's all the snapper downstairs.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
There's Tarakihi.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
I'd love to get into the muscle bin. There's the
muscle cabinet.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
I'd love to get into the squirty muscle bin.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
So people have been filming them and there's one video
where a husband goes, run, they're going to shit on you.
Apparently it's just awful. It's just like awful.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
To go there.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Pack and Save has declined comment. Because obviously they don't
want that. But what can they do?

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Can they get up there and shoo them away? Or
why don't you get up there and scare them away
like a scarecrow?

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, I could. I'll get my goth gears on. Look,
they're actually cute though.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, well, that just looks like a seagull to me. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
They don't look like your basic birch beach seagulls.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
I always feel sorry for the seagull in Bird of
the Year because someone's like.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Well, you know who we're supporting for Bird of the Year?

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah, I know, because it's easy to support.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
The beautiful little.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
I mean, I can get behind all of these birds
except for the seagull.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Except for the seagull. Look at this photo. Yeah, there's
a lot, isn't there?

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Oh, they're just... Do you think.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
It's someone from Woolworths that's just chucking bread up there?
Crazy person. It's sabotage. It's sabotage from Woolworths. They're just
chucking up some stale buns.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Woolworths and New World got together and they had a
little hooey. No Woolworths.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
They're owned by the same people. New World's owned by
the same people. So New World daren't be involved. They
could be slingshotting up stale buns.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
They will be.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
They'll be slingshotting stale buns onto the roof.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
And they'll be putting rats up there.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Oh, no, no.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
They want the birds there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're feeding them.
It's a protected.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
The redbird go, you're in big trouble for saying they
should shoot it. It's a protected species.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Fletch, I didn't stand by what Fletch said. I felt
it in the moment.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Well, I will take back my comments. I would never,
ever shoot a protected bird.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
What's its Maori name?

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Tarapunga.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Good boy.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
What do you mean, exactly?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
What's its Maori name?

Speaker 8 (07:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Regular listeners to the show may remember that I talked
about this very scam as a warning to our listeners.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
There's too many scams around at the moment.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Months ago, I think.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Elegant.

Speaker 7 (08:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Months ago, I think we talked about this. But it
has been appearing. Fake QR code stickers on Auckland, Wellington
and Christchurch parking meters.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Parking meters?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
So, you know, you'd go up to the meter and
you'd scan. Number plate. Oh, yeah. No, you'd scan the
QR code on the machine to pay.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Oh, there's a couple of those. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Like I was just in New Plymouth, they have a
QR code and it takes you to the app or
the council website.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yes, there's one around the corner from us. Yes.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
So people are putting a sticker over or just putting
a sticker on the meter.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
And then creating a website.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yes, and then scamming people.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
And then putting a pay portal.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, and then so they might be scamming like a
dollar or two or three at a time.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I know, but then you're getting double scammed. Because of me,
I've scammed, I've given you my money, and then I'm
going to get a parking ticket because they haven't given
the meter man the money.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
And you're probably also giving them your credit card too. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
So parking wardens in Auckland, around the place have been
told if they see these to be on the lookout,
peel them off.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Oh, like look up close to see if it's a sticker.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
And they've said in Auckland, just use the AT parking app,
which is great because you can stop your parking as
soon as you finish. You don't have to pay... Much cheaper.
So good, yeah. And unless you forget to stop it
and you drive halfway to Hamilton.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, because you set the base level at 12 hours. Yeah,
I know. And you're going to go whoosh. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm here for 15 mins, bro.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Totally.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
This is very... It's very sophisticated.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
I know because you think about all the times you
use a QR code, like you go to restaurants or
bars or cafes.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
You know me, I'm like a Karen Boomer when it
comes to a QR code in a restaurant. How hard
is it to just come and say hello and give
me some service?

Speaker 3 (09:48):
No, I actually like it because when you're with a
group of friends, you just pay for what you get.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
I know.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
I do like that part and at the end you
just leave.

Speaker 6 (09:56):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
But you know, a hello and a what can I
get you?

Speaker 1 (09:59):
I mean, they still... ask you to tip, don't they,
these apps?

Speaker 2 (10:01):
So funny. I'm sorry, what? You did nothing.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
You literally did nothing. You did nothing. Well, they bring
it to your table, but still.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I'd say that's the bare minimum of the job.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Is to walk it to my mouth. We've got to
look out. This reminds me of like when credit card
scanners was the... the big thing, on an ATM machine.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh, yeah, they had a skimming. They had a skimming.
Skimming is what it was, yes.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
And everyone was like, you've got to look out on
the lip of where you put the card in. Because
didn't you get done? Yeah, when I was in Thailand.
And it took everything from my bank account.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Was it a machine or over-the-counter? A machine. Because you
never let them take your card out of your cycle.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
It was a machine. And it skimmed my card and
took everything. And then luckily I was there with a friend.
who walked past someone that had one of those pocket.
This is why we get the sleeves from Kathmandu.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Only boomers get those. The RFID blocker.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
But she walked past a pocket and got hurt. So
we were two girls in Thailand.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
With no money.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
With no money. It was terrifying.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
No offence, but you look like you'd be an easy
mark in Thailand. 100%.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Two absolute tosses who have had two buckets of cocktails
and no money. God help us. When I was young
and when I first discovered sort of witchcraft and whatnot,
during the school holidays, I've definitely talked about this before,
people would go to sports camp, basketball camp, you know, whatever.

(11:36):
And me and my best friend Jess went to witch
school in the heart.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Speaking of which, we are talking about Practical Magic 2
on the show today.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
I know!

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Because the producer girlies have had a sneak peek, a
watch of the movie, and we've got a review of
that soon.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
And you can think, you know, of my age, that
was a perfect time to see that movie. I was like,
that's me. So I went to this, like, witch school,
these witch courses, and one of them was about kind
of reading.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
In Lower Hutt, there was a witch school?

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, there was a sort of a fairies and gems
store called Arcadia. Anyone from the Hutt listening is like...
I don't know if it's still there. And we went
to these holiday program witch schools for kids.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Don't know how our parents sort of teed this up,
but here we were at witch school. One of the
classes was about reading things. And we had to bring
in an item that we hadn't revealed to each other.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Jess and I didn't know. And it had to be covered.
And we were taught how to read what it was. Okay.
And Jess was really good at it.

Speaker 7 (12:38):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Jess was like, there's something that's green and all this.
And I was like, ooh. And it was a photo
of me in a bush or something like that.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
And the bush was green?

Speaker 2 (12:46):
And the bush was green.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
So how do you explain that? The key to being
psychic is just being fake. How do you explain that?
And then I wasn't good at it. I can't remember
her writing, but I couldn't do it. I was devastated.
So later in life, when I became a gothy witch
as a teenager, I used to practice moving things with
my mind.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
And how'd that go for you?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yet to be moved. Yeah. But I, I, I'm, you know,
I get a bit useless. I didn't do the practice. Yep.
So I've always wanted these secret psychic powers and these
sort of the gift. I have friends that have the
gift and they're like, you know, you might have the gift.
You can train the gift. Well, Carrie King, she's a
tarot and astrology writer with 30 years experience. She has

(13:28):
shared online the three signs that you might actually have
the secret gift.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
She's made money out of this for 30 years. Sounds
like a lot of money, too. This is her job.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Now, this was part of her plugging her book that
releases tomorrow. And I genuinely was like, oh, shit, I'm
going to buy it. Because it's called This Book Will
Make You Psychic. Oh, Christ alive. This book will make
you psychic. Here are the three signs that you may
be secretly gifted and psychic. Click on a good instance.

Speaker 5 (13:59):
What?

Speaker 2 (14:00):
You have claircognizance. Claircognizance.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Cognizance.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Cognizance. Claircognizance.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Is it one word or two words?

Speaker 5 (14:08):
One word.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Claircognizance.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Clair as in like clairvoyant.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Cognizance as in like I've got it in my head. Okay. Claircognizance.
You have an essence of just knowing. Knowing. That things,
you know, you know things without knowing why. Maybe it's
you read a room, you're like, hmm, this isn't good.
Spotting a fake smile, like they're being secretive or whatever.
Sensing a bad idea before hearing details. If this is

(14:32):
something you're like, oh, I've got a real... Intuition.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah, good intuition, a bit of a sixth sense.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
She said to put this to the test, you get
a little notebook, you keep it for a week, you
jot down and explain, you know, these unexplained impressions that
you have. Yeah. And then you leave it for a bit.
Give it some time. Go back and test it against reality.
Was I right?

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Right.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Did that turn out to be a bad situation? Were
they a bad person? If you are right, you might
have the gift. Second one out of three, you have
vivid and prophetic dreams. Dreams that feel unusually different and
occasionally seem to come true or reflect real events. Now,
I had a dream the other day that I yelled
at you two. Did you? It was the weirdest situation.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Why would you yell at me? I mean, I can
understand yelling at Vaughn.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Why would anyone yell at me? I don't know what
it was. We were in this meeting and... For some reason,
I lost my shit at both of you.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Oh, goodness.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
And I just started screaming that I'd had enough and
all this kind of stuff. It was the weirdest feeling.
It was very odd. Okay. So if you have these dreams,
I don't know if that's going to come true. We've
got a lot of meetings coming up.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, God, I might tap out.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Might start flipping tables. Yeah. Suggest exercise, keep another dream diary.
So maybe separate the diaries. That's a lot of books.
The gut-feeling diary, the dream diary by the bed, write
down fragments immediately on waking and look for recurring symbols
and patterns over time. And the third thing that you
might sign that you might have the gift, coincidences or synchronicities,
thinking of someone right before they contact you, recurring numbers,

(16:01):
you know, your angel numbers, songs, frequent deja vu and
that kind of stuff. Suggested exercise. What you want to do,
you want to get a diary.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Got another diary?

Speaker 2 (16:11):
No, the suggest exercise, visit a place with history and ask,
what do I need to notice today? Wonder without an agenda.
Jot down, okay, so sorry, there is a diary.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
You lost me a long time ago. I got lost
when you couldn't say that word.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Claire Cognizant's. Claire Cognizant's Vivid Prophetic Dreams, Strange Coincidences or Synchronicities.
If you have those three, you may have the gift
that I so long have wanted.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
The vague gift of being a psychic.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Well, you all, you wait. I'm going to start practising
moving that dollar coin with my mind.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
You haven't got the lotto numbers right in our syndicate,
have you?

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Shit, no, I haven't. I'll really let you down there.

Speaker 9 (16:48):
The ZM Podcast Network.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. From the unmoderated comments section, this
is The Top Six. Good morning.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Convicted triple murderer Aaron Patterson has been approved to Zempac
after weight gain in prison.

Speaker 7 (17:05):
Sorry.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
So after a weight gain.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
In prison, I Googled that and she's been, yeah. Given
the go-ahead for the.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
And Australia, the Australian taxpayer public is upset, as you
can understand, that the mushroom killer is getting a weight
loss jab.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Actively plotted and executed.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
I know. Is this being made into a Netflix show?
Because it should be.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
It should be. It'll be underway. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
Now, corrections authorities say the medication is intended to reduce
her risk of developing type 2 diabetes, which if she
gets that in prison, because she's in her cell 23
hours a day, she's only getting an hour to get
out and get physical. It's going to cost you as
a taxpayer so much more money to take care of
a diabetic person.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Yeah, that's what I, that's, you forget that, don't you? True.
It's going to cost them either way, so it's better to.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
True.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
I mean, that's what Ozempic and the likes was originally for.
I've never seen a photo of them.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
Beef Wellington, there it is. That's the leftovers from the
one that killed them.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Why the hell would you have leftovers?

Speaker 1 (18:04):
I would have put that in the slot bucket. Why
do you think? Because they dropped dead, Hayley. They didn't
finish it.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, but wouldn't she have gone, get rid of the rest?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Oh, yeah, fair call. Fair call.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Basically, the problem is that someone who's attempted a murder
and been convicted of three murders is now getting the
easy way out when everybody else has to go to
the gym and slog it out and eat well.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
I was Googling, do people normally put weight on in prison?
Because you would imagine that you'd go to prison and
you'd be restricted with your eating. I planned out my
whole prison stay.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
I'm going to get a degree in something really interesting.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
I'm going to study. I'm going to learn.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Learn a language.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
I'm going to get jacked.

Speaker 7 (18:49):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
And even if I do something horrible, so I'm locked
down for 23 hours, I'm like, I'm, what's the word?

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Push-ups.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
No, yeah, like I can make things out of nothing.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Are you going to be mongrel mob or killer bees?

Speaker 2 (19:02):
I do have a connection to mongrel mob family-wise, so
I'll probably head in that direction for protection.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
You're wearing red now, so it makes sense.

Speaker 10 (19:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
I don't know, I'm scared.

Speaker 7 (19:13):
I'm scared.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
I take it back. I take it back. I take
it back. Isn't it the bulldog?

Speaker 4 (19:17):
I don't know. I'll just get you out of this one.
Top six drugs I go to prison for based off
this story. Number six on the list, peptides. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Get on the peptides, work out, three square meals, just get.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Jacked in prison.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
I could fly the drone over the exercise yard and
drop off when you need some more peppy tea. If
you could, yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Just drop the needle straight into his gut.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
If you could.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yeah, just drone me. Drones can do everything these days.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Just.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Pull it down, jab him, click it down, pull it out.

Speaker 7 (19:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
You're jacked. Three squeeze.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
Mind you, they reckon people are also putting on weight
in prison because the food's not great. It would also
piss me off if people were getting better food in
prison than in hospital.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
I wouldn't imagine. No, I doubt it.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
So I did, when I Googled that most people put
weight on because of the commissaries, like the shops inside
and it's all like processed food.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Oh, so their family give them credit to spend.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Yeah, or they might have money. Yeah, so actually most
people put on weight. Okay, number five on the list
of the top six drugs I'd go to prison for.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Propofol.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Lovely sleep.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Oh my God, I cannot wait for my colonoscopy.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
I got a reminder that I should be getting a
colonoscopy soon.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Stunning sleep, eh? Just a beard and you were, hello.
You wake up and you're like, hello.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Do you want a sandwich?

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
This is the best ham and cheese sandwich I've ever had.
I remember waking up from my shoulder surgery thinking, God,
that sleep was delicious.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
It was good stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Albert sleep.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Albert sleep.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Albert delicious.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
Oh, I've had something jammed so far up my arse.
It could have come out of my mouth, but.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Man, what a sleep. I'm at the hygienist next week
to reconciliate. Give you a little pro. No.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Number four on the list of the top six drugs
I'd go to prison for.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Honestly, caffeine some days.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
And sometimes I would end up in prison if I
didn't get it.

Speaker 10 (21:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
You know, it could happen.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Number three on the list of the top six drugs
I'd go to prison for.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Zoplicone.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Again, I don't want to, you know, begin a dream here,
but a lovely slap.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Bit of a slap.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
On a nice, quiet, single bed in a room with
an in-room en suite. Even if it's a little steel
toilet with no lid.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Sounds delightful to me.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
Zop, zop.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
Number two on the list of the top six drugs
I'd go to prison for. Again, a morphine drip. You know,
just chuck me on a wheelie, push me around, institutionalise me,
chuck me in a straitjacket, it'll feel like a hug,
just have.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
A little sleep.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Tell you what, when my friend died, everyone was questioning,
you know, where's the morphine pills going to go? I
think it was the same when my grandad died.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Everyone was like, someone in their A-grade painkiller pills.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Devastating.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
Where's all.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
I know who got it too. And really? And number one? Oh,
and number one on the list of the top six
drugs to go to prison for.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Honestly, some days just a paracetamol.

Speaker 8 (21:54):
Yeah, you know what?

Speaker 2 (21:55):
When you can't find one and you've got a bit
of a hangover, you wake up, you're like.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Just that light headache and you know, what I need
here is a liter of water and a paracetamol and
you can't find one.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Take me to prison.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Give me two. Let me have a little lie down.
That's today's top six.

Speaker 9 (22:09):
The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
You know when you first start seeing someone and you
make some like, you give them a bit of rope.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
A bit of grace.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, a bit of grace.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
I don't love that, but.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
But it's okay. It's early days. That's okay.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
That's you.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
It's early days. I'm not here to change you.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
I'm not going to control you in the early phases. God, no.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
I'll let that creep in when it really starts to
be on.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
I knew that my girlfriend, Amy, she's not a, for
a start, she's not a soft drink drinker.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
She doesn't drink soft drinks. No.

Speaker 8 (22:39):
Neither.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Unless it's in a, like a rum and coke or
a gin and tonic.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
I'm not a big soft drinker.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
I'm sorry, we're not. Last time, you had a rum
and coke. No, a cocktail rum and coke and something.
But yeah, no.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
No, neither really.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
I'm not a soft ale drinker, but I tell you what,
end of the day, I love a fridge cig. Yeah, man.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
Coke Zero. A Coke Zero and some Jamesons. That's my
fridge cig. I call it the Irish fridge cig.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, yum.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
I'm in the mood.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
I need it.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
I need an Irish fridge cig. Pour myself a little.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Now I know she doesn't love....

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Soft drinks. There's never soft drinks at our house.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Right. Primarily drinks. Water.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
And tea.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah. And I'll say you can tell.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Vaughn needs a podcast on artificial sweeteners. No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Nah. Don't worry about it. It's not the bloody sweeteners
that are going to get him. I had a moment
last night. This dude ran a red light.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
The light went green for me, and I started going
through a tennis section, and this guy flew through, missed
the front of the Ranger bike, and I was not
looking forward to that.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Called to Derek to let him know I was a
Ford bastard. I've got another damaged car.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
But it didn't happen. But it was one of those
moments where I'm like, that could have all been, it
could have been over.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
And that moment you saw that car where you're like,
fridge sick.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Also though, think of the payout for the girls. It
would set them up nicely. It would set them up
nicely if someone killed you from reckless driving. I'm just saying.
It would set them up. They'd probably get more out
of that than they would if you were to die
sort of in a soft way.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Like a slow, painful way. Sort of a soft die.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
I'm just thinking of the girls.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Find the sympathy, you know.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
The girls are almost indie. We wouldn't really have to
step in as that much.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Don't tell anybody that I had life insurance when you
start the GoFundMe, though.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh, no, we'll double dip.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
We wouldn't even bring it.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, we'll double dip.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Double dip.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Take yourself somewhere nice with a bit of that GoFundMe.
Of course we will.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
We're devastated. We've got to go to Brazil. Yeah, yeah,
take the girls. And we'll take the girls. Yeah, we'll
get a babysitter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
So that guy nearly wiped me out. But anyway, I
had a message. I said, look, it's been a day.
I'm going to need to bring... Coke Zero to your
house for a fridge set because I can't have one
before I drive to her house.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
I don't drink a drive. No, no, no. And with
a fridge sig, it's the experience. You need to like
sit down and enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
And on the way to her house, I'm like, I'm
already planning which one of her glasses I'm going to
have a fridge sig in.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Because it's nice.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
She's got great glass. So did she grant you dispensation?

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Is it okay if I bring a Coke Zero? Because
Danny needs a fridge sig. It's been an afternoon. She
was across my afternoon and she was just like, Yeah,
it's okay. But when I walked in, Karen, that fridge thing,
her eyes were immediately on it. Was she a bit like, pfft, trash?
And I plonked it in the fridge and she's like,
it's the first time there's ever been a Coke Zero
in that fridge. I was like.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
And she's.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Like, man, I must really like you.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
And I said, and I really like you. Thank you
for this. Oh, that's nice.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
But getting out, I extra needed the fridge sink by
the time I got inside because I had a 30-second
stint where an already testing day almost made me cry.
I got out of the car, went around to the–
and I opened the passenger's door and the Coke Zero fell.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Out and dropped all around.

Speaker 6 (25:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
I'm just like, how did you get in the position
where the minute I open the door, it's like, I'm out.
He's excited to be drunk.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
He's like, boy, you're going to get it. You're going
to get it. You're going to get it, boy.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
And so when I bend over to pick him up,
my drink bottle falls out and bangs on the thing.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
So then I've got my overnight bag on one shoulder.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
And my. work bag on the other, and as I turn,
my work bag gets caught in the.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Door, so it gets spun around in the car. Take me, Jesus.
Guess who hits the ground again? Oh, fridge sack. I'm
just like.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
So I put everything down, shut the door, lock the car,
pick everything up. Did you shut the door or did
you give it a.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
I got shut with some force.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
So then I'm all set and I've got my stability
and I'm like, okay, I'm good. And I get around
and she lives upstairs. So I turn and the bag.
grabs on the corner of the thing and pulls me back. No!
As I go back, I go, and I'm old, so
my back's like, and I'm like, and I over clamp,
guess who hits the floor again and tumbles down three stairs.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Fridge Saga. Fridge Saga.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I'm surprised it hasn't burst open at this stage. I
was fuming, like angry and almost crying.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Do you know what I reckon you've just experienced the
essence of? PMS. Like, the way you're describing it, the like,
not the Like that feeling.

Speaker 7 (27:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
You've experienced womanhood.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
So I was just stomping up the stairs and then
I walked in and that's when she saw the fridge, Sig,
and then I put it in and she's like, you're
not going to have one.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I was like, too shaken up.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Too shaken up. It's hit the ground like three times.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
Oh, dear.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
But then, yeah. It is fun, the sort of early
stage experience.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Living in each other's spaces exchange because I also had
a moment yesterday where I had to draw a line
with new boyfriend Mike. Oh, what did he do? He'd,
you know, his little things, keys and charges and whatnot,
and they'd go on the bedside table and not my aesthetic.
So when I was vintage shopping one day, I found

(27:57):
a gorgeous silver vintage tray that's like the shape of
a leaf. I put that next to the bed and
I said, you know, that's where you can put all
your stuff so it's all sort of condensed to one area.
And he's done that. And I walked in yesterday and
had put a couple of pairs of socks in there. Oh.
Like white.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
White socks sort of bundled in the vintage tray that
I bought.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Oh, and that's not the aesthetic. On the bedside table.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, so I texted him and I said, socks in
the vintage tray? Not really my aesthetic.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Just socks on the bedside. Tables are weird.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Do you know what I got? Because I do it
a lot if he like leaves something somewhere or whatever or,
you know, like a Powerade bottle in the kitchen. Not
really my aesthetic. Not really my aesthetic. So I text
him and I said, socks in the vintage tray. Not
really my aesthetic. Do you know what I got? Sorry,
it won't happen again.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Sorry, it won't happen again. And I said, bless you.
That's what I said. I didn't say, oh, no, it's
not that serious. I said, yeah, bless you.

Speaker 9 (28:53):
The Fletchborn and Hayley Big Pod.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Now, producer Carwen is tottling off overseas on a secret mission.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Now, are we going to mention how big her suitcase is?
How long are you going?

Speaker 10 (29:05):
Guys, I literally wheeled it down the staircase and I went,
Fletch is going to say.

Speaker 11 (29:08):
Why is it such a big suitcase?

Speaker 8 (29:10):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
How long are you going for? Till Friday afternoon. Two nights.

Speaker 6 (29:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (29:16):
Guys, I don't go to Australia every weekend like you three.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Don't say three. Don't say three. I wanted you to
feel included, babe. No, don't include me in this gallivanting.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
I'm just impressed work's giving you a baggage fare. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Oh, it's not.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Somebody else is paying for it. Oh, somebody else is
paying for it.

Speaker 10 (29:34):
Yeah, it's not NZ me that's paying for it.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
We'll take a giant suitcase then.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah, God, yeah.

Speaker 10 (29:39):
Yeah, I've got to do some shopping with that two-hour
system here I have.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
I was going to say, a little shopping. Tell you what,
you're getting married in the future. Sydney's like, great shopping
for dresses. I'm not going to have time for that.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
But now, you're not going to have time because you're
on a work assignment.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
I am.

Speaker 7 (29:54):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (29:55):
I love books, and you know this about me, at
Carlin Reads on Instagram. Or at Fletch Listens if we're
all getting a plug.

Speaker 11 (30:00):
Yeah, true.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
We're all getting a plug.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
He never listens though, does he? Actually, can you upload
something new? Social media manager Vaughan Smith.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
I haven't listened to a book in so long.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Don't say that, don't say that.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
You've got a DM. Oh no, who's it from?

Speaker 2 (30:14):
A DM.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
It'll just be a bot from Asia or something.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
You got mentioned.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Wanting to get married.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
In a thing.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
No, it's not a bot. Not even bots want to
marry you. I was just too mean.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well. Let me get a photo of you listening. Oh,
hang on. Standby at Carwin Reads. No, be more listening.
I think you need to theme it. Like I'm listening
to a horror. I'm listening to a romance. You know,
we could start to, you know.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
He doesn't care. Listening to thank you. Vaughn's my social
media manager. Now, why are you going to Sydney?

Speaker 10 (30:52):
I am going to Sydney because, oh, my gosh, the
incredible cast, Jeremy Irvine, Hermione.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Friend of the show.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Friend of the show, Jeremy Irvine.

Speaker 10 (31:00):
Hermione, Jamie and Harriet from the Outlander Blood of My Blood.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Cast are in Australia. Future friends of the show. Future
friends of the show. Let's hope so.

Speaker 10 (31:08):
Honestly, they are all stunning and gorgeous and incredible and
I would love to be their friends.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
I've seen his Instagram. He's been there for a few
days already. They've been sunning it up in Sydney and
doing all the media.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, and they did the bridge climb I saw.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
How fun.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
A classic.

Speaker 10 (31:22):
They are doing a big week of events for the
launch of season two in a couple of weeks for
Outlander Blood of My Blood.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
I haven't watched it yet.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
What is it about?

Speaker 4 (31:30):
So this is season two because I know there was Outlander, right?
And this is the prequel.

Speaker 10 (31:35):
This is the prequel. So Outlander follows Clea and she
touches a stone.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Well, she's British. Clea knows. I don't know how to
do a British accent.

Speaker 10 (31:45):
Claire, she touches a stone and gets transported back into
the ancient times of Scotland and is stuck there, can't
figure it out, falls in love.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
With a beautiful Scottish man. Sorry, that came out on air.

Speaker 10 (32:00):
And five following books follow that and a lot of
seasons of the show, eight I believe. Now there is
a prequel series which follows the parents of both Claire
and then the man that she marries, Jamie.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 10 (32:15):
This sounds absolutely 100% right up your alley. Yeah, and
they also time travel.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
How do they have a machine? Does our friend Jeremy
Irvine have a travel machine?

Speaker 2 (32:25):
No, he touches the stones. Where would you go if
you touched the stone? To wherever Jeremy Irvine is.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
The first thing I was going to show Jeremy Irvine.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
May I need to remind you just to look down
to your left ring finger. Big diamond on it. You
take him. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, guys on tour
stays on tour though.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
No, no, no. No, no, no.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
That version of Ward. Let's just put a lads chat.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Me and Carl would have some lads chat.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Oh, my God, fun. I love this.

Speaker 10 (32:54):
So, yeah, there's a fan event tonight. I'll do some
red carpet like Shandog did for.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
The Hey You event.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Wait, so does Jeremy live in World War I, post-World
War I, or does he live in 1700s Scotland?

Speaker 2 (33:05):
No, he is post-World War I.

Speaker 10 (33:06):
He is a soldier, and he's really going through it
with that post-traumatic stress.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah, hell of a thing. What did they call it
back then? The fidgets.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
So it has a really diminishing name for the PTSD
that these guys came back from a horrendous war with.

Speaker 10 (33:19):
And then him and his wife, they go back to
Scotland times. But they're separated, and they've got to find
each other.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Oh, good Lord.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Clans are clashing. Oh, my God. Clash of the Clans.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
I know Clash of the Clans.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Hell of a mobile game.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Oh, yeah. God, they love advertising, don't they? Clash of
the Clans.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Love this. We love that Shannon went over to the
Hey You event as well, and Carwen, you're going over
to this.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
So you'll have some interviews for us next week.

Speaker 10 (33:45):
Yeah. Around release time, yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Okay. I love this. Well, good luck and be safe
and be fun and make good decisions and don't do
what I did when I interviewed Jason Momoa and sort
of make a fool of yourself because you're sort of like,
oh my God, you're so attractive. Oh yeah, fingers crossed. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (33:59):
The ZN Podcast Network.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Well, the government has revealed that it's investing $ 32. 8 million
to build 34 new classrooms in schools around the country.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
One school is even getting a brand new gym.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Is that Massey?

Speaker 4 (34:16):
One of them, I was reading this one, it's in
West Auckland schools, the local high school.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
So this is what we wanted to know, like, how
grim was your school? Because imagine having a new classroom.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh, my God, no.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Sorry, Hayley, who went to a private school, isn't going
to be eligible for this phone-in topic.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yeah, Coomber College is in a building that's historically protected
by the Historical Society of Wellington. Jeez, really?

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Morrinsville College was just made up of a whole bunch
of prefabs that became permanent.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
So in New Plymouth Boys High, we had, like, the old, like, building.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
A Block?

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, we had a 70s block.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
We had blocks, but then there were a lot of
prefab classrooms and they were so cold.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
In winter.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
They were?

Speaker 1 (34:53):
What?

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Why were they colder inside than outside?

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Do we have the oil heaters? Do you have those
wrapped around the thing?

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, our form room in Form 7, it's called Hobby House.
It's a villa. It's a two-storey villa on the property.
A two-storey villa. And the main building of Queen Margaret
College was a historically protected building. But we did have
the ugly... 70s block when it became a bigger school.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Yeah, but you didn't have prefabs, did you?

Speaker 2 (35:16):
God, no. It was nice. It was nice.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Well, you can't be spending thousands of dollars a year
to send your kid to a school and it's got prefabs.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
And we're cold.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yes, and you're cold, darling.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Cold for five grand a term. I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
We were not in a cold. We had polyester uniforms.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Oh, well, darling, we had Will Barbara Lee.

Speaker 5 (35:34):
I know.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Oh, darling.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Darling, darling.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
We were cold.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
We were cold. I say when it rained, we smelled
like dogs. Yes, well, when it rained, we were wet
and it never dried. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
So this is what we want to know.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Like with all these new classrooms, and it's actually good
that schools are getting new classrooms because a lot of
schools need them.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Some are real cool and they're cool now. Like they
actually put a bit of thought into them and a
bit of insulation in the walls.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
Which is nice.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
They'll glaze the windows. We do want our rangatahi to
be actually, you know, warm.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yeah, learning and stuff would be nice. Learning and warm. Yeah,
learning and warm. So how bad was your school? How
grim was it? Didn't you have a rat, Shannon? They
had a rat in the history.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Famous rat.

Speaker 11 (36:12):
Yeah, we had a rat and we called him Rat Sputin.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Rat Sputin.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
It would have been way better if there was a
rat in the home ec room and it was Ratatouille and.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
It rode your head. Oh, that would have been good.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Pulled your hair around. Was it that grim? Was it prefabs?

Speaker 11 (36:26):
Well, I don't know what a pre-fab is.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Your classroom.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
You know, those like pre-built.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
It's like on a building site. You just see like
a kit seat.

Speaker 11 (36:32):
Oh, kind of.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (36:33):
I don't want to talk too much shit.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
How at college did DM me on Instagram saying I'm
one of their favorite alumni. No need to brag because
Luxon went there as well, but I'm their fan. Yeah,
hold on.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
You said no need to brag.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Huge brag. Hilary Barry went to Queen Margaret's. Now, there's
a brag.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Oh, yeah. We're proud of her. Darling, darling. Was this
a problem at your school, though? Rats everywhere or just.

Speaker 11 (36:55):
That one classroom?

Speaker 6 (36:56):
Yeah, well, we knew of rat sputum quite well because
I was in the same history class for five years.

Speaker 11 (37:01):
Like, the class was... So I got to know him
quite well.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
And would he just scurry in the ceiling or across the.

Speaker 11 (37:06):
Across the ground.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
He'd scurry across the ground.

Speaker 11 (37:08):
Yeah, and he had a big old tail, and we're like, oh,
rat's feet in.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Oh, God. The rat's tail.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Get a rat trap, yuck.

Speaker 11 (37:16):
No, that was our friend. He went to that school
longer than most students.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah, to be fair. Never got pregnant.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Okay, I'll wait to hear who dials at him as
our number.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
We want you to text through 9696... On the back
of these new classrooms coming.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
How grim was your school?

Speaker 4 (37:35):
There's 34, somebody messaged in, there's like 34 schools over
Palmy and Fielding in the area where I work. And
some of them have rooms that can't be used because
they're not earthquake safe. So it might sound really impressive
in an election year, but keep in mind that's not
going to go too far.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
No, no, no, no, no. And they're like some of
our most important spaces in the entire country.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Why don't they just get under their desk in an earthquake?

Speaker 2 (37:58):
That was our thing.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Yeah, but when the building's gone, the building's trying to
kill them.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
In an earthquake.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah, okay. Fair enough.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
Not to get political on it, but yeah, just remember
there's an election year and a lot of promises are
made by everybody.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Yes. Charlie, how grim was your school?

Speaker 7 (38:15):
Yeah, hi, guys. I went to Gunnersbury Catholic School for
Boys just outside of London.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Oh, darling.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
God bless you.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
That sounds posh, but it might just be your accent, Charlie.

Speaker 7 (38:26):
Well, it sounds posh. I mean, our school uniform was
from John Lewis, but that.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Doesn't make it up for him.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Doesn't John Lewis, don't they do the Christmas ads?

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Is it like a posh department store?

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 6 (38:43):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (38:43):
Oh, right.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
So your school uniforms are posh, like going to Concordia
and Staines or David Jones.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Yes. Lovely.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (38:52):
Our school was grim as it was a temporary hospital
during the Second World War.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Oh, spooky.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
Spooky.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
So you'd be outside playing rugby and there could be
like a little bit of ordnance sticking out of the dirt.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Old World War II grenades or something.

Speaker 7 (39:09):
Yeah, well, our rugby team wasn't the best, so we
all thought that the school was haunted and the rugby
field had... bodies underneath it.

Speaker 8 (39:17):
Oh, right.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
I thought you were going to say they weren't so
good because they were all amputees because they kept hitting landmines.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
When they were up.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
True, true.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
But yeah, I guess if loads of people were dying,
they'd just like dig a hole in the... Were there
any ghosts there?

Speaker 4 (39:30):
Charlie?

Speaker 7 (39:32):
There was never any confirmed cases, but there was a few.
Classrooms that would make noises.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
So the answer is yes, Charlie, there were ghosts.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
There were war ghosts.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Well, Hayley's a believer for sure.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
I am a believer.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Charlie, thank you. Some messages in. How grim was your school?

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Somebody said, our school, it was a new building, but
that didn't mean anything because when it rained outside, it
also rained inside. And in the winter, it would get
so cold that if there were any posters on the wall,
you'd come back and they're just like, rock.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Melted because of how wet it was.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
There was a mummified mouse corpse that was stuck between
a built-in storage system against the window pane for what
used to be a meeting room. We would parade new
people past it and they would understand this is where
their souls had come to die.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 7 (40:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Someone said Taupo knew we only just got new buildings
because some naughty sigging teens burnt down.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
I remember that. I remember that, yeah. So they've got
a whole new kind of area.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Must be nice.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Kind of good.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
Yeah, but like that person that messaged in before, the
room was so damp you probably couldn't burn it down
if you wanted to.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Yeah. Speaking of damp, I worked at a school in
a fancy suburb of Auckland and my classroom used to
rain on the inside. So the walls had to be
pulled down, everything away from the walls in the winter. Oh,
you had to pull everything away from the walls in
winter because it would just rain inside.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
I grew up in Germany and they wanted to build
extra classrooms on top of a two-story building. Problem was
it wasn't structurally sound enough to fix. They just put
tree trunks in the middle of each classroom while strengthening
the building.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
For a year, we had.

Speaker 4 (41:07):
To all share half our classroom to see the whiteboard
because the tree.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Was in the way. What? I'm sorry, what? Oh, someone
just messaged weird maggots fall out of the ceiling. We
had that once.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
You know those, oh, we've got them here too, those
ceiling panels. Someone was like, what is that? And pushed
it with a broom and there was like a dead
rat up there and all the maggots fell out.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Yuck.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
I don't want to be there.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Gisborne Boys High was so, so cold. The classrooms were
freezing cold. One winter, my friends and I brought in
lots of two-minute noodles, a jug, and disposable bowls to
make hot noodles for the rest of the class, and
we were kind of heroes for a while because we
did that.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Oh, nice.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
I'm a teacher. I had a classroom I used to
call the zoo. Granddaddy cockroaches, endless ants, and the odd mouse.
It was disgusting. I had to have a cockroach monitor
each lesson. Nothing derails a lesson like a granddaddy cockroach
scurrying across your desk. Oh my God, yuck.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
We had Templeton the rat.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
He would visit my year 12 English class on the
way to his rat hole and just scurry through and
people would freak out and be like, relax, it's just Templeton.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Wow, okay.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
How many rats are there in these classrooms?

Speaker 1 (42:14):
A lot. It sounds like a lot. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Schools, I love schools seemed fine. Did you read this?
Schools seemed fine at the time, but we went for
a tour of it as part of a reunion. Most
of it was condemned. Turns out half of it was
made from, insulated and decorated with. Asbestos.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Oh, yeah, but come on.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
If a school was built any time from 30s through
to 70s, it probably had everything.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Yeah, for sure. You just don't disturb it. If it sparkles,
you just enjoy the sparkles.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Somebody said we had working radiator heaters except everyone.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Melted crayons on them. Yes, I remember that.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
To the point where when they'd turn them on, everyone
would get lightheaded because of all the fumes coming off
the crayons.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Chemicals in the crayons.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Our female loos had no toilet seats, let alone toilet paper.

Speaker 10 (42:54):
What?

Speaker 2 (42:55):
The doors didn't lock either, so you'll see them hovering
on a seat.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
You couldn't have locked doors or seats?

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
That's pretty wild.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
Somebody said, oh, our school had mould once, and the
teacher said not to worry about it, and then one
of the parents that worked for the company that tested.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
It, they came in and tested it.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
Guess whose school had black toxic mould?

Speaker 1 (43:20):
Is that a great learning environment?

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Toxic mould? Yeah. I know the strong will survive.

Speaker 9 (43:25):

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Practical Magic 2. And the producer girlies, you've had a
sneak peek of the film. Is it a ghost film
or a witch film?

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Witch, but like.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
1998, the first Practical Magic came out.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Yeah, Shannon wasn't born, I was.

Speaker 11 (43:46):
Yeah, I was conceived, so.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Do you think there's a chance your parents conceived you
to practical magic?

Speaker 6 (43:52):
Well, no, see, it's crazy because I've not seen practical
magic and my parents give big that, but we didn't
have a microwave, so I think maybe it was on
that side of my childhood.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Oh, my God. Now, did you not even see the
first movie?

Speaker 6 (44:05):
So on Monday, Carwen and I, we went to Hamilton
and then Carwen came to my apartment and we sat
there and we watched the first movie and then an
hour later we watched the second. So it was a
full witchy day Monday.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Right, what was the difference between the one that was
in 1998 and now?

Speaker 1 (44:19):
I mean, a lot of plastic surgery in Nicole Kidman.

Speaker 11 (44:21):
And the CGI.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Is it plastic surgery or Botox?

Speaker 2 (44:25):
I don't know if she's had any plastic surgery. She
looks great, though.

Speaker 11 (44:29):
They're up to her neck.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Maybe not the face, but maybe.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Oh, okay, right, yeah. Fair, fair.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Yeah, and, like, the fashion's similar.

Speaker 10 (44:38):
But, like, with a 2026 spin on.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
It in the second film. And I know a lot
of the girlies are very excited about this movie. It
opens around the country tomorrow. What were your thoughts then?

Speaker 10 (44:47):
Oh, I loved it. I had already seen Practical Magic,
but it was nice to have a refresher.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
It's perfect.

Speaker 10 (44:54):
I think that it's, like, paying homage to the first
film perfectly, but modernifying it, bringing in some new characters,
changing some storylines.

Speaker 7 (45:03):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
But perfect.

Speaker 11 (45:05):
I loved it. I did cry for like half an
hour straight.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
And like there was, you know, generally when stuff happens
in a movie, no spoilers, but when stuff happens in
a movie, there's light reprieve afterwards. And there was that,
but I couldn't stop crying. So I just kind of
had a good chunk where it was just coming out.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Was it embarrassing for you, Carwen, the crying?

Speaker 10 (45:24):
Look, I have a strategy where I sit on the
inner seat and Shannon sits on the aisle seat.

Speaker 6 (45:29):
Carwen always sits as a buffer between her other friends
and everyone else.

Speaker 11 (45:33):
I'm on the aisle.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
So like no one saw her crying?

Speaker 11 (45:36):
No, just me.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Just me. But what would you give it out of
10 then?

Speaker 11 (45:41):
Definitely recommend, I'd say nine.

Speaker 6 (45:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Nine. Okay. Yeah, watch it.

Speaker 9 (45:47):
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
Well, very excited to say that this Sunday, not Father's Day,
it's CRL opening day.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
It's the opening.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Central Rail Loop.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
City Rail Link.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Almost.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
You got one right out of.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
A possible three. I have been following this with great
interest despite not knowing what CRL properly stands for.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Some civil engineering. Give me a train, give me a
civil engineering.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
My friend who loves trains almost as much as you
wants to go on the first train one through the tunnel.
And I was like, do you want to wake up
at five o'clock and do this?

Speaker 2 (46:26):
I'm like, not really. I reckon it'll be as busy
as hell.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
People wanted to be the first through there. So that's
what they've said. And I mean, we've already gone through
the tunnel. We were lucky enough to.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
You were.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
And I've been to Karangahape Station.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
You went on the open day?

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
With the mushroom parade. The mushroom parade.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
God, I love Auckland. It was a whole thing.

Speaker 4 (46:45):
But Monday is going to be the first, like, commuter day,
like the first weekday where this is open.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
People will be going to work.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Use it for its purpose.

Speaker 5 (46:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:54):
And we thought we could try to get one of
these Guinness World Records that radio shows just love getting.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
I've been here, this is my fifth year.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Because we're anti it.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
We've got zero.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
We're anti it.

Speaker 5 (47:04):
What?

Speaker 4 (47:04):
Fletch and I are anti Guinness World Record attempts.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Yeah, I know, but here I am and I'm.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
Like, come on.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Because you try so hard and then someone swoops in
and beats you by one or two.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Yeah, and then some guy comes and doubles it and
you're like, well, I'm not even going to try again.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Like, let's not bother.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
Because we were going to do, you know, heaviest squat
in the world. As a radio show. All three of
us in one bar. Three of us, one bar.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
But we've got bad backs. Bad back, bad back.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
Woman.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
It's never going to happen.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
No, there's squats with a woman's domain.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's our booties. Right.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
No, no.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
We're going to go for the world's deepest radio show.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
Because one of the stations is.

Speaker 4 (47:43):
42 metres underground?

Speaker 2 (47:46):
We're going underground.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
At the difference between the surface.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Now, producer girlies, you went on the escalator that goes
down from Nia Kei Road into the station. It'll be
the biggest escalator in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
It is.

Speaker 11 (48:00):
There's a plaque and I took a photo of it.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Oh, we love it. Send it in the chat. I
love a plaque. Send it in the chat, hon.

Speaker 11 (48:05):
It's a lovely maroon plaque.

Speaker 8 (48:07):
Oh, lovely.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Which is quite fun.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
You've got to read the plaque. Yeah. And what does
it say?

Speaker 6 (48:11):
I'll send it now.

Speaker 11 (48:13):
It's the longest escalator in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Wow. It is so steep.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (48:18):
Dude, yes.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
I've been on one season in London and you're just like, whoa,
this keeps going. And they put those dots in the
middle so people can't slide down on their bum in
the middle.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (48:26):
They have those.

Speaker 5 (48:27):
They have those.

Speaker 6 (48:28):
So it's a 43-metre escalator going down to 33 metres underground.
So we'll be 33 metres when we're broadcasting.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
So that's a hell of an incline, you think about it. Yeah,
that is. 43 metres and you're going down 33. So
we'll be right next to where the trains are.

Speaker 10 (48:42):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Okay. So it's going to be the world's deepest radio show.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
And I think we should do some other things that
are deep while we're down there.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Like a deep and meaningful. Yeah, we could get a
bit deep.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Deep on it. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (48:56):
We could do a phone and topic. How deep have
you been?

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
How deep have you been? Do you know how deep
I've been? I've been to a salt mine in Poland.
135 metres. Beat that.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
135 metres.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
How deep have you been?

Speaker 2 (49:08):
Underground. Please do not call in now.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
It will be Monday's phone and topic. How deep have
you been? Yeah, don't.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
9696 right now. Shut up. It'll be annoying.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
In fact, producers, can we phone someone who's been in
a submarine for that phone-in topic?

Speaker 2 (49:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
How are you going to do that?

Speaker 2 (49:26):
What about a diver? A competitive deep sea diver.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
I don't think they go that far. Oh, the guy
that did it down the blue hole.

Speaker 6 (49:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
How deep was that one? It's kind of unfair if
he's going to beat our listeners.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Free diving.

Speaker 11 (49:37):
What if we got a blobfish on the show?

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Yeah, actually. They go hella deep. Get a blobfish, get
an anglerfish on the show. Someone just texted and I've
been 30 metres. We don't care. We'll see you on Monday.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Not now.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Save your messages. Save it.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
For the deepest radio show broadcast in New Zealand and
the world and in history.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
Now, how do we get Guinness there? Well, we left
that a bit late for a fish out.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
Oh, Guinness World Records.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
I thought you had to drink.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
I thought, how do we get a drink down there?
I was like, that's a bloody good question.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Hell yeah, to celebrate our attempt at a Guinness World.
We'll have a Guinness.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
Hey, also, this is why the producers were there yesterday,
testing that we can actually broadcast there.

Speaker 6 (50:13):
Yes, now the 5G and 4G underground is stronger than
up on the ground.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
How is that possible? Because sometimes I'm at Vaughan's house
and I don't get two bars. No, you don't get anything.
So you've got to go to the corner of the deck.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
I get one bar of 4G at my house at
all times.

Speaker 11 (50:27):
This is state-of-the-art data.

Speaker 6 (50:29):
We had two tech guys come, not sure we could
do this, and we can do it, baby.

Speaker 11 (50:34):
We're going to broadcast down deep.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Were the tech guys here at work getting a bit.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
A bit excited about trains and stuff?

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (50:41):
We had two tech people come and it was really
a one-man job.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
I was going to say, it's a one-man job.

Speaker 7 (50:46):
One-man job.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Someone just wanted a little peek.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Yeah, that's my favourite. When we got a little peek
of the train stations, that was my favourite.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
I'm so excited for Monday.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Join us Monday for the deepest radio show in the
history of the world ever.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Should we give it a jingle? Because I know it's
not on brand, but the BJs do have a song.
How deep is your love?

Speaker 4 (51:05):
How deep is your show?

Speaker 1 (51:09):
Baby, I need to know. It's a bit slow.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
What about a DJ version?

Speaker 5 (51:19):
43 below the earth's surface.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
It's running itself.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Adele's rolling in the deep.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Maybe we'll play songs with deep in it.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Yeah, just a deep hour. Deep purple. Yeah, but a
deep purple.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
A deep hour. What other songs?

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Songs with deep.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
Well, there's Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Now we know that's a banger, isn't it?

Speaker 6 (51:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
We could play that song. That'd be lovely.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
Way too deep and I'm trying to get up above.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
This is great. I think that could be the intro.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Oh, my God. Yep. We've got Pearl Jam with a song, Deep.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Yeah, there's a couple of songs that Tame Impala, Breathe Deeper. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
There's a song called Deep, Deep Calls to Deep, Deep, Deep.
This is great.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Sheryl Crow, The First Cut is the Deepest.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
The first radio show is the deepest.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
The first show is the deepest. Baby, I know.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
That's really good stuff. Beautiful stuff.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
And then, like, tell us your deepest, darkest secret and
we'll reveal ours.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
But not now. Save it for Monday for the world's
deepest radio show ever.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Or, like, let's get deep, you know?

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Yeah, I love this. We're going to have a Johnny
Deep impersonator on the show.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Close, close, and I'll accept it.

Speaker 4 (52:30):
We can spray ourselves with mosquitoes with deep.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
That's deep. Oh, what about we could do a deep
heat massage?

Speaker 1 (52:38):
Oh, that would be nice. We've got knots. Oh, my God,
that would be great.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
I'll bring some deep heat. We can get a rub.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Love that, love that. Yeah, this is great. Well, it's
all happening Monday.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Join us for the world's deepest radio show ever in
the history of the world.

Speaker 9 (52:51):
The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayleaf.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Producer Karwin, not happy with one of us.

Speaker 10 (52:58):
When am I ever, though, actually?

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Yeah, true.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
Oh, please. Banter, banter. We've got to be banter.

Speaker 10 (53:06):
I received an email and it's– no, they're never good.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
I actually wish there were more of them in less meetings,
but that's me personally. Yeah, that's fair.

Speaker 10 (53:16):
And this one is– it's accusing me of something.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (53:20):
And the something happened at 10 past 10 on Monday,
7th of September.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Now, if I recall, Hayley, you were away that day.

Speaker 6 (53:29):
I was away.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
I am innocent of all involvement.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
You're cleared.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
You're cleared. 2pm, I landed back in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (53:35):
At the time, I believe we were in the station vehicle,
the ZM station vehicle on State Highway 1 heading to
Hamilton to drop off little Puku.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
For real NZ, he's making his way down the country.

Speaker 4 (53:46):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (53:48):
Yeah, cha-ching.

Speaker 10 (53:49):
We were, in fact, on the Auckland to Hamilton motorway
Epsom Auckland 1051 New Zealand.

Speaker 6 (53:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (53:55):
Exact location, GPS location.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
So who's this email from?

Speaker 10 (54:00):
Well, it's from the NZME Power Platform Tech. I don't
know what that means, but what the email headline.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Sounds like a phishing scam.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Delete it quick. Yes, it's a test. They do test
us at work that we do those emails.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
Yeah, like click this link or download this thing.

Speaker 11 (54:15):
I always have to ask Carlin because I've fallen for it.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Yeah. I thought Foxy.

Speaker 11 (54:19):
Wanted to give me a gift card.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
The trick is don't read your work emails.

Speaker 10 (54:24):
No, the headline says drive me, which is our little
driving service platform, speeding violation.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
Oh, the cars are bad.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
The cars have a tracker in them.

Speaker 10 (54:34):
Now, whilst the car was booked by our team under
my name, I have photographic evidence that I was not
the one driving. Yes.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
But you get the infringement because Vaughan was driving and
it was under your name.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Correct. Correct. So this is an infringement from our company,
not the Popos. Yeah. We don't worry about it. Police
are the final word in this country. Yeah, but TBC,
whether or not a speeding ticket from the Popos actually
does arrive as well. Because how fast was he going?
Am I allowed to say that? Yeah, come on, in

(55:09):
an 80. 103, I'll say it. In an 80. Where
is there an 80, though? To be fair, though, it
looks like a.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Where is your 80? To be fair, it's pretty much...
It used to be 100, and then it turns into 100.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
I'm sorry, it has not been 100 for so long. No, no.

Speaker 11 (55:22):
Like, in my life.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
I haven't had a car for, like, 12 years.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
It has been 80. I just kind of drive on
a vibe. Yeah, unfortunately not the.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Law, huh?

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Well, the law hasn't caught me. You should put some
stickers on your window screen so when you do get
snapped by the speed cameras, it's like, oh, he's just
vibing me. He's just vibing. I'm vibing, I'm vibing.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Can we wrap some tinfoil on this car? Oh, yeah,
how do we stop the train?

Speaker 2 (55:42):
How do we stop the train?

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Can we put some tinfoil over the tracker? The car
shouldn't be allowed to go that fast then.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
But it has to be able to go 100 in
a 100.

Speaker 11 (55:52):
You can't victim blame a car.

Speaker 4 (55:55):
If it's a big problem, put a thing.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
On it where you can't break the speed limit.

Speaker 10 (56:01):
There's a lot of restrictions at this company. Don't make
there to be more.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Don't do that. Don't make up your mind, Horne. What
do you.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
Want to do?

Speaker 10 (56:07):
I'm just saying I would like the nation to know
this speeding violation is not mine.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
I have been wrongly accused. But what are the consequences
of this? Joe, who deals with this, who already sort of,
you know, isn't really charmed by Vaughan, sort of, I'm cute.
It doesn't work on her.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
It's not my fault. She's impenetrable.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
I would say the only member of the team that
she truly likes is me. With us, she would have
been like, hey, slow down, babes. Come on.

Speaker 10 (56:34):
Look, it doesn't seem like I've got to pay anything.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
I don't think there's– it's just a– Well, no harm
no better.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
No harm no better.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Yeah, until the next time we need to borrow a
car to go somewhere.

Speaker 10 (56:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Also, that can't have been the only one that tripped.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
I only got one ding.

Speaker 4 (56:49):
Because you said to me, it sends them a thing
every time you go over the speed limit, so I
keep going up and down, up and, like, push it
up over, and then it's like.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Push it up over, and then it's like, push it
down over, just to see how many emails you were
going to get.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
I can't wait to see Joe today.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Also, that photo of me driving is AI.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
No, it's not. They did.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
They used ChatGPT. That's every defence now. Hey, ChatGPT, generate
a sexy man driving a car.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Speaker 5 (57:15):
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Fact of the day is brought to you by St.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Pierre's.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
Here's a fact for you.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
Today's sushi of the day is eight pieces of tasty
tuna mayo for $ 8.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
40. Wow.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
Tuna mayo.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Delivered. It's hormone week here at Fact of the Day.

Speaker 4 (57:44):
We're learning all about different hormones every day.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
And today we're going to look at adrenaline.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
Love a bit of adrenaline.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
I'm so low in it at the moment because I'm
not performing at the moment.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Right, so you've had a spike. Yeah. Epinephrine, is that
the other name? Because that's why it's called an EpiPen.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Oh, there you go. Yeah, you come off stage, right,
and you're like, whoo. You get this little high and
you're all energised and now I'm like, what is life?

Speaker 1 (58:08):
Well, you've got to wait a month for our live shows,
Fletch One and Hayley Live.

Speaker 4 (58:12):
Have you ever come off stage and hurt yourself, like
twisted an ankle or fallen down some stairs and kind of, oh,
it's not too bad?

Speaker 2 (58:21):
I feel very invincible, yeah. Like, if I've been sore
or pain or sick or whatever, and then I perform,
I come off, and they call it doctor theatre, and
you're like, I'm fine, I'll go out.

Speaker 4 (58:31):
Adrenaline is basically your body's emergency mute button for pain.
So it can be in moments of shock, danger, or injury.
It floods your system, and it can block pain signals
because it's like... prioritizes other things in the body at
that time it's it's your survival it's your fight or
flight you're gonna either fight or you're gonna get the
hell out of there so people have like the car
crashes or sports injuries or like soldiers who were shot

(58:52):
yes and then they walk for kilometers and then they
finally get out and someone's like oh my god you
did this with a broken neck.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Or like birth right birth you get adrenaline as well
so that you can push a human being out of
your tiny vagina.

Speaker 4 (59:04):
Births thank you so much for saying i've got a
tiny vagina.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Yours is knowing like known to be tiny.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
It's tiny yeah.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
So birth is kind of like this giving birth is
a cocktail of hormones because then you've got the dope
oxytocin's in it and the dopamine and the part that
makes you think that wasn't so bad I'll do it
again yes so it's basically reroutes the body it narrows
your focus to survival for the next five minutes And
pain gets pushed down. But when it starts to wear off,

(59:32):
you're going to feel everything that you've kind of been
pushing away. It instantly gives you an energy boost. It
triggers your liver to dump stored glucose into the bloodstream.
So your liver is like, let's go. And then you
get the glucose, the stored sugars, and away you go.
And your heart rate increases because it redirects all of
the blood away from like the digestion and the skin.

(59:52):
And it goes towards the muscle in the lungs. So
you're ready to run or fight.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
Isn't that amazing? This is a cool hormone.

Speaker 8 (59:59):
It is.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
It dilates your pupils.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
You see it in cats, don't you?

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

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
They're hunting their pupils, go like this. And you're like,
put down the MDMA, Rolly.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
It does that thing where, you know, you hear about
like someone like did some feat of superhuman strength that
they can never lift a car off people in a
car accident.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Absolutely, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
And it's used in EpiPens because it, reverses severe allergic
reactions by opening the airways and stabilising blood pressure.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
What would happen if I just jammed? I'm not allergic
to anything.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
I jabbed an EpiPen in your leg. Yeah. I just
thought the same thing before.

Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
You'd just get a mad boost of the same sort
of adrenaline that you feel on stage.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Can you buy them online?

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
You can. They're very expensive. Downsides. Downsides.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
The adrenaline crash afterwards. You get shaky, you get exhausted
and feel emotionally depleted.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Oh no, I can't be having them. Which is what
you felt after the... Yeah, which is when you're like.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
No shows.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
No shows.

Speaker 4 (01:00:50):
Also, tunnel vision and memory gaps, of course, because your brain,
your body's literally in, like, survival mode, so it won't
take in other things.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Don't need that. Auto-save's not on. It didn't need it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
Don't need that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
Yeah, and it can be linked to high blood pressure
and heart strain over time if you seek these adrenaline
things so often.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
So today's fact of the day is adrenaline.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
Good fact. Good fact. Thank you. Really good fact. Really
good fact. Really good fact. Let's go jump off a
sky tower.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Yeah, let's do it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
Well, that's actually one of the things they talk about,
adrenaline junkies. It's not actually adrenaline. It's a dopamine-adrenaline combo.

Speaker 8 (01:01:25):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
It's that cocktail. So technically adrenaline junkies should be called.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Dopamine-adrenaline junkies because it triggers their dopamine release and they
love it and it makes them feel invincible and happy
and euphoric. So today's fact of the day is adrenaline
is basically your body's mute button for pain.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Fact of the.

Speaker 5 (01:01:43):
Day, day, day, day, day.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
9-6-9-6. What is your partner's embarrassing habit? Dob them in, man,
because there is a guy, well, a girl shared this
and she called him the Funkmaster 3000, her boyfriend, because
they go to a coffee shop and he gets an
extra large cup of milk. Over ice.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
So it's in like a Frappuccino cup or like an
iced coffee cup.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
But one size up from Grande. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
It's a large cup of milk.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
A large cup of milk.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
It almost looks like a litre. Would it be 750,
800 mils of milk?

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
Oh, I'm talking minimum 700 mils of milk.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
It's America where everything's giant.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
He's just getting milk. There's no coffee in there. There's
no chocolate or chai or match or nothing. He just
gets milk and he's like, Sipping it. And I'd be like,
how am I supposed to?

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
That's a breakupable offense.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Yeah, that's, yeah, it's really yuck.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
That's really yuck.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
I think, yeah, I even made a joke about this
in my new show, like men drinking milk. Sorry, yuck.
Grow up.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
Are men allowed on their cereal? Because I have it
on my cereal every morning.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
Grow up. That's so embarrassing. Have coffee on your cereal
like a real man. Black coffee. Black coffee on the cereal.

Speaker 7 (01:03:13):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
Maybe they have an embarrassing habit.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
It's not enough that you want to break up with them,
but it's almost... It's just like, yuck, I hate that.
Don't bother calling me. I'm not going to answer. Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:03:24):
I'm too horrified to have my voice associated to the story, but...
My ex used to store his fingernails in his wallet
to use as floss later.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
I am going to quit radio now. I've had enough.
I've heard enough of these stories.

Speaker 6 (01:03:37):
I'm out.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
I'm done.

Speaker 4 (01:03:38):
Hey, look, if I've got something stuck in my teeth
and a long nail, I'll get it, but I'm not
storing it for later.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
I'll pick my tooth with my fingernail attached. I'm not
saving them as little picks.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
I do use my hair sometimes as floss if it's
really bad. Pull out a strand. It feels cleaner. It
feels not as bad.

Speaker 4 (01:03:53):
That's almost as icky. Oh, Jaden said, yeah, when I
worked at Macca's, I'd use my free meal drink. every
day is a cup of iced milk.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Yum.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
Yuck, yuck.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
Stop saying yum.

Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
James, stop saying men saying yum is also a bit yuck.
That's a grown man.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
Yum.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Yummy. Yum.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
I'm a man. Yummy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
Okay, 0800 dials it in. We want to take your
calls and your texts now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
9696.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Tobin, your partner's embarrassing habit.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
Vanessa, your partner's embarrassing habit.

Speaker 8 (01:04:23):
Yeah, my partner has some slippers that for unknown reasons
to me, he is emotionally attached to.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
How long has he had them?

Speaker 8 (01:04:29):
Oh, I think they used to be his dad's before him.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
No, we don't hear me down slippers. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Are they really manky?

Speaker 6 (01:04:41):
Yeah, sure.

Speaker 8 (01:04:42):
Like his pinky toe sticks out the sides and his
big toe like sticks right out.

Speaker 10 (01:04:48):
And then sometimes they're a bit.

Speaker 8 (01:04:49):
Try and be cheeky, try and be funny, just stick
it out. Even my two-year-old knows that they're gross, and
he just wants to throw them away.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
Yeah, why didn't you buy it? You should just buy
him some new ones.

Speaker 8 (01:05:00):
Okay, but see, the shoes aren't beyond the issue, because
he's like that with everything. He doesn't like anything new,
and I literally, like, okay, maybe 10 years ago, bought
him a 2 for 75 pair of jeans.

Speaker 4 (01:05:10):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 8 (01:05:13):
Exactly the same pair of his old ones that had holes.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
In the arms.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Mm-hmm. Yeah, sounds like you're with Vaughn.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
Excuse me.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Vaughn slippers are his toes.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
I don't wear slippers, I think. I think slippers are
just gross. You wear jeans, though, till they die.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
Who doesn't? That's what they're made for. Vanessa, thank you.
Good luck with that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Yeah, I just sort of feel like, Chuck, I'm in
the fire.

Speaker 6 (01:05:36):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Like, just take it out of his hands.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
But that's probably the good end of manky that we're
hearing about.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Oh, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:05:43):
My ex-husband would pull out his armpit hair and his
eyelashes and his eyebrows and tickle.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
His lips with them.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
I get the feeling of, like, sometimes I grab the
end of my head hair and go like that on
my lips. It does feel nice, but not from the pit.

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
Also, pulling out your armpit hair would hurt so much.
Do a little plug? Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:06:01):
My new partner and I just had our first weekend
away together and he insisted on making the bed fully
when we left the Airbnb.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
I just couldn't watch.

Speaker 4 (01:06:07):
What?

Speaker 5 (01:06:07):
No, why?

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Sorry. They're going to strip that anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
They're going to have to wash those sheets. Yeah, that's odd.

Speaker 6 (01:06:12):
Pull it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
I made the bed. Just look it up.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
You made the bed.

Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Airbnb I do.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
Hotel, no.

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
But they're not leaving the sheets on for the next person.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Why do you do that?

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
I don't know. Stop it. Yeah, I will. Now that
I know that that's an embarrassing habit, I will.

Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
My husband wipes his feet across the floor to take
his socks off after work.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
How does that work?

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
They must be loose socks.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
I couldn't do that with my socks.

Speaker 4 (01:06:42):
My husband has this weird grunt coup to babies when
he's holding them. And every time he does it, I'm like, yuck,
I'm going to divorce this guy immediately.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
A grunt coup?

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
A grunt coup.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Like a pigeon? Like a pigeon? Someone messaged in, my
stepdad puts Milo in his sachet latte and calls it
a mochaccino. Yum. I love this. Well, there was a,
what was the original? Oh, the guy, a woman dobbed
in her boyfriend for when they go to a cafe,

(01:07:10):
gets a big, huge cup of iced milk. Sips it
from a straw like a bubba.

Speaker 4 (01:07:15):
Some other messages in, every time he gets a tea,
it's so milky. It's almost white. It's like he is
just having a hot cup.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Of milk water. With a, Of tea. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
My partner, he always eats all the chips at the
party like a child does. Like he'll just stand by
them and just like keep shoveling them.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
In his mouth. Oh my God, that would be so
ick for me.

Speaker 4 (01:07:34):
He's not deprived of chips. We have chips at home
all the time. But that's just how he eats chips.
He'll just stand there just shoveling them in his mouth.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
And not talking to anyone, just being all about the chips.

Speaker 4 (01:07:45):
My husband regurgitates his food and swallows it again after
he eats, mate.

Speaker 8 (01:07:48):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
Well, they do say that you should chew your food
and eat it slowly. I'm a fast eater.

Speaker 5 (01:07:54):
Slowly.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Just do it once, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:07:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:07:58):
Somebody said my partner listens to Talkback Radio and occasionally
argues with the callers they have on. Sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
That's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
We're not having sex tonight. My mate's husband still eats
his boogers. He's 45 years old.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
She said my mate's husband, but do you reckon that's
like my husband? Oh my God, yes.

Speaker 1 (01:08:16):
My partner will sniff his fingers after having a scratch.
You do that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
My husband loves eating fingernails and toenails, especially fingernails while driving.
Nothing worse than hearing them start crunching on them.

Speaker 5 (01:08:29):
No, what?

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
You shouldn't be swallowing that. If you have to riff
off a fingernail off your mouth.

Speaker 10 (01:08:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
Out it goes.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Out the window, you go.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
And then it goes on to the person in the back. Yeah,
can do.

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Yeah, it goes back in. Can do.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
My husband uses bobby pins to remove ganky-ass earwax. To
be fair, the bobby pin's good because it's got a
little loop on it you can get over and then
push down in and drag it out.

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
My dad's an ear scratcher. I love it. From the
moment I've known him to now. Anything. Sunglasses.

Speaker 4 (01:09:04):
Most days we'll be on air and we'll just like,
I've done it right now, and I'll pull my headphone
jack out of the headphone connection and just have a little.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
End of sunglasses. My dad's never got something in his ear.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
It's not good.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
Actually, that feels really nice. I get it, Sprout. I
get it, Craigie. It feels really good. My husband, my ex-husband,
there you go, there's a sign, used to sneeze without
covering his nose properly and I'd find dried snot on
the walls, hence ex.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Ooh, yuck.

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
Ooh, my partner picks her boogers and slurps them off
her finger.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
Slurps?

Speaker 6 (01:09:35):
Swallows.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
Yuck, yuck.

Speaker 1 (01:09:39):
Ooh, yuck.

Speaker 5 (01:09:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:41):
Grim. My wife told me I have to stop behaving
like a flamingo. That's when I had to put my
foot down.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
That's Rory. Rory. It's a good one, Rory. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
I love when Rory sneaks a pun on the show.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
I'm a big fan. My partner makes me check that
you really can't see his nipples through his T-shirt every
time we leave the house. He's very South Corny about
his big bicky nips. But then he does this creepy
thing where he rubs them at me and honestly it
makes me feel quite unwell. Oh no!

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
Are we talking like a New Zealand cookie time? Or
a giant cookie time?

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
Big Bicky nips. I'm thinking at least sort of a.

Speaker 4 (01:10:18):
Or they just poke out of their long sausage nips.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
No, but Bicky. I'm thinking of Pam's finest.

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
Could be like the Christmas Buckets.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
No, I think we're going bigger than that. I think
we're going at least farm-baked. Could be a mellow puff.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
Could be both wide and out.

Speaker 2 (01:10:33):
And then he rubs them at her.

Speaker 9 (01:10:35):
The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.

Speaker 11 (01:10:42):
Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
Silly little poe.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
Silly little poe. It is so silly, silly, silly that the.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
So a little poll today is do you preheat your
air fryer?

Speaker 4 (01:11:03):
Apparently recipes calling for the preheating your air fryer on
the rise. You know, be like, first of all, preheat
the oven to 180 degrees.

Speaker 3 (01:11:11):
I always preheat the oven. I thought that's what you
had to do. It's like an oven.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
No, it's hot.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
It's like a microwave. Preheat your microwave to 5,000 degrees.
What do you do? Do you just turn it on
for a minute?

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Do you leave it on for a couple of minutes
at the temperature you're cooking at?

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
Or maybe like one minute, but not.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Or not hours. I'm not pre-heating an air fryer. How ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
Do you know what? Can I just share something? If
we're going to talk about air fryers, I've got the
most amazing salmon recipe. Because salmon's really hard to cook sometimes.
It is, and the skin can stick to a cast
iron pan. And you want it to get just that
perfect flaky. Eight minutes in the air fryer, don't touch it.

Speaker 4 (01:11:45):
Because I have been thinking I need to start getting
more omegas because my short-term memory's no good and I
can't do the omega-3,000 tablets because I get.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
The fishy perks. Well, you don't get that from the
salmon in the air fryer.

Speaker 1 (01:11:56):
Eight minutes in the air fryer. So apparently.

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
You can skip preheating for most foods, like frozen snacks, vegetables,
and chicken. Convenience foods. But you should preheat when you're
doing crispy coatings, searings.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
Meats get a better... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
Who's searing meat in an air fryer? I've seen a
steak in an air fryer. Kill me.

Speaker 1 (01:12:17):
And it's good for like, if you did a tuna
or a salmon fillet, it's good.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
Eight minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
Eight minutes in the air fryer. And it's really good.

Speaker 4 (01:12:24):
Because I'm actually going to look into that because I
can't do the fish oil tablets because I get the burps.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
I get it though because you know you don't want
to go cold to hot slowly with the meat because
then you don't get that crisp.

Speaker 3 (01:12:34):
And then also apparently foods with short cook times, like toast,
I don't know who's putting toast in an air fryer.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Shame, get a toaster.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
But they can turn out better with a hot start
as well. I think it's worth a couple of minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
A couple of minutes. A couple of minutes pre-heat. Oh,
I refuse to.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
Silly to poll to you, pre-heat your air fryer.

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
70% of people said no. Well, you're morons.

Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
13% said yes. And 16% of people said I don't
own an air fryer. I love putting frozen chicken drumsticks
in the air fryer 30 minutes from cold to perfect.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
It's my boy dinner. Oh, Edward.

Speaker 4 (01:13:08):
Edward.

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
Oh, Edward, we simply must try better.

Speaker 4 (01:13:11):
Alana said, never even thought about preheating it and I
don't own an oven. I cook everything in my air
fryer from lasagna to muffins.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
How does she do a lasagna?

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
A small lasagna. Oh, no, she might have a big
double drawer air fryer.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
It's just a little one.

Speaker 4 (01:13:26):
Ankle.

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
You've got an ankle. I've got a double drawer. I've
got a double draw ninja.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
I don't use mine much, but I've had it for years.
It's so good.

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
When I turn it on, I slip in whatever I'm
cooking and use the heat up time. Please don't say
slip in. Slip in whatever I'm cooking and use the
heat up time as a bonus warm up for the food.
I also don't really have any understanding of how to
use an air fryer to its best advantage.

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
It's a reheat machine for me. seldom do I cook
anything from scratch.

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
Yeah, yeah, or pizza, like next day pizza in the
air fryer for a couple of minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:57):
Raw dog, everything always, and maybe whack or two, one
or two extra minutes on the end, says Michael.

Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
Yeah, I always like a couple of extra minutes, unless
it's fish.

Speaker 4 (01:14:05):
Oh, okay, I've got a Kmart one. Now, is yours,
is Anko the Kmart or is Anko Warehouse?

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
Anko Kmart. It's just like a round rocket ship with
one drawer.

Speaker 4 (01:14:13):
She's got one as well, and it came with a
specific instruction, never to turn on empty.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
I didn't read the instructions for Anko Air Fryer.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
What a stupid instruction. What do you mean never turn
on empty?

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
Never turn on empty.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
It's not going to blow up.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
It's stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:14:26):
Alex said the instructions told me not to.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
It's pretty cheap.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
Who reads the instructions on new appliances? What's going to happen?
It's on a microwave.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
It's not like leaving an oven empty for like five
hours and it gets a bit hot and confused.

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
Jane's citing the Bible here.

Speaker 4 (01:14:41):
If God wanted us to preheat our air fryers, he
wouldn't have required us to set the timer for.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
It to start heating.

Speaker 11 (01:14:47):
True.

Speaker 4 (01:14:49):
Hogs said, I used to have one, but it took
up too much room. Got a new oven with an
air fryer mode though. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
And that needs preheating. Those were expensive.

Speaker 4 (01:14:58):
I thought an oven with an air fryer mode was
just a preheated fan bake.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
So did I.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
No, ovens now are like crazy. Ovens now have got
so many functions.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
It's all bullshit.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
It's all turntables, fidgets and buttons.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Because my microwave has a grill feature and it came
with this like metal plate that you put it on
the grill feature. So then I thought that my microwave,
you could microwave metal.

Speaker 4 (01:15:21):
Can't. No.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
No, you can't. And we're like, oh, nope. What am
I preheating?

Speaker 4 (01:15:28):
It says bloody blankets. Its job is to be ready
at any moment for 10-minute nuggies.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
Blankets.

Speaker 8 (01:15:35):
Yum, nugs.

Speaker 1 (01:15:36):
My husband.

Speaker 3 (01:15:36):
Place your hot water bottle inside the air fryer to
warm it up.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tuck it into bed.

Speaker 3 (01:15:41):
Tuck it into the air fryer bed.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
I noticed the other day my husband preheated the air fryer.
I said, what the fuck?

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
What the fuck are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
And now I'm wondering whether I should have been all along.

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:15:52):
Jack said the whole reason to get one was no preheating.
It preheats itself.

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
I had no idea how angry people were debating this online.
It's like a whole thing. It's the reason we've asked
this question. It just gets hot fast like a microwave.
Goes from nothing to hot.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
Yeah. Because it's small.

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
But it takes a bit longer.

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
It's just small.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Yeah, it's a small little.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
Like a toaster goes from nothing to hot.

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
Okay, so the Philips New Zealand official website says you
do not need to preheat your Philips air fryer.

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
But that's Philips specific.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
That's Philips.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
Don't speak on behalf of ANCO.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
I'm not going to speak on behalf of all brands.

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
No. We wouldn't dare. We wouldn't assume.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
Well, for so little, Paul, we asked you, do you
preheat your air fryer?

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
70% of you said no.

Speaker 9 (01:16:35):

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
Brussels sprouts. They made me Brussels sprouts. Do you know why?
Because we had some chicken breasts and, you know, trying
to be a bit healthy. But there was some bacon
left over from two weekends ago.

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
And I was like, I don't think you should be
eating bacon from two weeks ago. Why?

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
It's bacon. You can eat it from like two years ago.
I don't think you can.

Speaker 1 (01:17:01):
Doesn't it go a bit slimy, a bit smelly?

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
It had been cooked.

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
It had been cooked.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
God, yeah, I reckon he's... I don't want to say anything.

Speaker 4 (01:17:09):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
We're not both... He's not feeling very well this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
Yeah, you ate all bacon, you dumb bitch. No! You
can't eat bacon. It's like ham, right? Yeah. Look, I
know it gets... I know it's like.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
I don't think you can have it just open if
it's sealed.

Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
It was sealed. I'd wrapped it in glad wrap. The seal...
It was the best before was still good.

Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
Wait, had it been uncooked or cooked and then reheated?

Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
Just bacon. Slimy. Slimy bacon. Well, cooked isn't, it's been cured.

Speaker 1 (01:17:39):
It's been cured. That's all right.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
No, I'm not eating cooked bacon. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 4 (01:17:43):
I thought you'd been cured and you'd opened and you'd
left it. It gets a bit smelly and a bit slimy.

Speaker 10 (01:17:47):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
She was good. She was wrapped in glad wrap.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
Okay. Doubting yourself, though, aren't you?

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
So much. He's not well at all. I'm going to
have to come clean. Okay, so anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:18:00):
How long can you live uncooked bacon? You carry on.
That's been opened.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
The best before date was.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
Yeah, but that's before when it hasn't been opened.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
But it's a big pack. You're telling me when you
get one of those big packs.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
Yeah, you can leave it in the fridge.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
You can totally leave them in the fridge. I've done
it years and years and years.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
Open raw bacon lasts one week in the refrigerator.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
This is like a week.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
Signs of spoilage.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
A week and two days.

Speaker 4 (01:18:23):
A sour mouth. Slimy or sticky texture. Grey or greenish colour.
Possible mould growth. I mean, that's when it's properly bugging.
And it was wrapped like properly.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
Anyway, so I've got the bacon. Less on the bacon.
I've got bacon and we're having chicken breast for dinner.
And I was like, oh, my God, that bacon. Why
don't I do my Brussels sprouts? Because I do. I
chop up the bacon. I chop up some onion. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:18:48):
Onion.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
And then I. And I. you for pronouncing the G.
So many people forget. I'm so sick of people dropping
the G in onion.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):
Onion.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
And then I get the pan super hot, olive oil, salt, pepper,
and I just char these things to death.

Speaker 1 (01:18:59):
Yeah. And it's so nice. Well, we were just talking
about air fries.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
I do them in the air fryer.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Air fry Brussels sprouts. are insane. And you stop every
now and then and give it this guy. Yeah, shake it.
And then salt and vinaigrette. What are you, balsamic?

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
Yeah. No, I like doing it in the pan and
I had a bit of time. So anyway, I did
them in the pan and we're eating these Brussels sprouts
and Mike was like, man, me Brussels. And I was like,
how good are Brussels sprouts? And we're talking about how
they were just the devil's food when we were growing up.

Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
Because our Mothers, bless them, boiled them or steamed them,
never flavoured them and then drowned them in cheese sauce.

Speaker 2 (01:19:32):
So Mike was telling me as well, they have actually changed.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
Yes, they have.

Speaker 2 (01:19:36):
They're way less bitter. They're less bitter.

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
They are less bitter.

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
Brussels sprouts. And I was like, man, used to hate them.
Now they're like a fave. Like every time I have them,
I'm like, yum. I'll order them at a fancy restaurant
because they do them all nice.

Speaker 4 (01:19:47):
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
And I was like, let's talk about this tomorrow. The
things that you used to hate that now you love.
Maybe you've done a 180.

Speaker 1 (01:19:52):
We do, as we get older, our palates change, right?

Speaker 2 (01:19:55):
Could be food, yeah, for sure. Like, I used to
be real picky, and now I'm, like, slurping up oysters.
My mum's like.

Speaker 1 (01:20:01):
Who are you? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
But maybe it's like a show or some music. Maybe
you grew up and you were completely like a metalhead
and now you're like, I'm country music through and through.
What do you love now that you hated before?

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
Love this. So many messages. Oh, now let's start with you.
What did you used to hate but you love now?

Speaker 11 (01:20:19):
I said my siblings.

Speaker 1 (01:20:20):
That's nice. That's nice that you've come around to that.
Did you fight with your siblings a lot as a kid?

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
I have six siblings. Oh, jeez.

Speaker 8 (01:20:29):
So growing up, there was like, my eldest sibling is
33 and my youngest is 16 and we were all
in the house together.

Speaker 7 (01:20:37):
I think there was just a lot of tension.

Speaker 3 (01:20:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
How old did you say the oldest one was? She's 33, 34.

Speaker 8 (01:20:43):
Pass off.

Speaker 2 (01:20:45):
Move out of home.

Speaker 6 (01:20:45):
Get out.

Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
Yeah, ciao, ciao.

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
Yeah. We're not there anymore. This is when we were kids.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
I was going to say, God, let's get out of here.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
I think a lot of people would feel like that.
Not everyone, but would feel like that. You fight and
fight and fight, and then you realise, oh, actually, like,
you're like a little gift in life.

Speaker 7 (01:21:02):
Oh, I actually can stand you, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:04):
Just takes one night out.

Speaker 1 (01:21:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:21:07):
We're waiting for the youngest one to be 18 and
all of us hit the town together.

Speaker 2 (01:21:12):
Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
That's so good. Ono, thank you. Have a great day. Sophie,
what did you used to hate but you love now?

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Avocado. Oh. Oh, interesting. What did you hate about them?

Speaker 11 (01:21:25):
Oh, I was like you.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
I was quite a fussy kid.

Speaker 5 (01:21:28):
I think it was the texture.

Speaker 11 (01:21:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:21:32):
But such a downfall loving it now.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
And what turned it around for you? Good guac?

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
Yeah, I reckon it was guac. Yeah, good guac.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
Good guac.

Speaker 1 (01:21:41):
Yeah, like a homemade guac or one in a restaurant
where they do it in front of you. And it's chunka.

Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
It's a little bit chunka.

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
Yeah, it's good stuff. Thank you, Sophie. Some messages in.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
Mayonnaise.

Speaker 4 (01:21:50):
Growing up in the 90s, toxic diet culture convinced me
I didn't like it. I'm almost 40 now and that shit.

Speaker 2 (01:21:54):
Goes on everything.

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
I love mayonnaise.

Speaker 4 (01:21:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
Erica said, going to bed early. Oh, okay.

Speaker 4 (01:22:00):
Love that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:01):
And corned beef. Love a bit of corned beef now. Again,
corned beef done right. Yeah. You more or less got
pastrami in your hands.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
That's a kind of microwave corned beef recipe that Alison
White asked my mum for. You know, famous chef, Alison White.
I know Alison Holst. No, Alison White.

Speaker 1 (01:22:19):
Alison Goff?

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
Annabelle White. Annabelle Langburn?

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
No, Annabelle Langburn.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
No, Annabelle White. She's not.

Speaker 3 (01:22:24):
I tell you what, Annabelle Langburn's not popping a bloody
corned beef in the microwave ever. No.

Speaker 2 (01:22:29):
Okay, so Annabelle White is a... Television and radio chef. Yeah.
And she asked my mum for a microwave corned beef.
It's really good. She was like, oh my God, it's incredible.
How did she come across your mum's corned beef? I
met Annabelle White on a set of something and then
she was talking about corned beef and I said, my
mum's going to... And then she said, oh my God,
I cooked your mum's microwave corned beef.

Speaker 4 (01:22:48):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
Really?

Speaker 1 (01:22:49):
Well, now I want to try your mum's microwave corned beef.

Speaker 2 (01:22:52):
And try it, you shall.

Speaker 1 (01:22:53):
Stay tuned tomorrow when we reveal the recipe for Hayley's
mum's microwave corned beef.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
I'm not going anywhere. Patsy might want to protect that, actually.

Speaker 1 (01:23:01):
Oh, a little bit of IP.

Speaker 4 (01:23:02):
She probably got out of her kid's newsletter like she
did her Secret family ice cream recipe.

Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
I'm not revealing that. I used to hate coriander with
a passion. This was me too. Tastes like soap. And
then after I had my daughter, my taste bud changed
and now I love it. I want it on everything.

Speaker 3 (01:23:15):
But it's a gene, a genetic gene or genetic thing.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
Because I used to have it and then now I don't.
I have had no baby that I know of. I
had some wild years.

Speaker 1 (01:23:27):
I used to hate listening to the radio, says Melissa.

Speaker 10 (01:23:29):
Oh, Melissa.

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
She says used to, thankfully.

Speaker 4 (01:23:31):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:23:32):
Spotify was my go-to and now I listen to you
guys every morning.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
Oh, welcome back.

Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:23:37):
Thank you, Melissa. It's great to have you here. And
Trove has hated them for years and years. Had a
baby last year and now I crave them when I
was pregnant. Now I have to have a constant supply
of them. They're so salty and delicious.

Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
It is weird how pregnancy and that can change things within... You?
It's so weird.

Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
I used to hate mushrooms, says India. As a child,
I picked them out of everything. As an adult, I
love a good fried mushroom with everything. Same as veggies
on a whole.

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
Creamy mushrooms. But I realised it was because of how
they were cooked.

Speaker 2 (01:24:03):
Mushroom obsessed, as my cap says.

Speaker 4 (01:24:05):
How did mums cook mushrooms in the 90s? My mum didn't. No,
my mum didn't either.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
She'd peel them. Mum would peel them.

Speaker 4 (01:24:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):
Peel them, eh? So much work. The dirt's the flavour.

Speaker 1 (01:24:15):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 8 (01:24:16):
I know.

Speaker 4 (01:24:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:24:17):
Quick off the huge rocks of dirt.

Speaker 4 (01:24:19):
Shane said smacks straight across the bottom.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
Used to hate them. We all used to hate them.
We used to be terrified of a big smack from Daddy,
didn't we? We were just receiving them from the wrong person.
You're either dishing them out or getting them, baby.

Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
Woo, smacks are back. She loves a smack from Daddy.

Speaker 9 (01:24:37):
The ZN Podcast Network. Play ZN's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
Baba Vanya. Remember her?

Speaker 1 (01:24:43):
Is she the Nostradamus prophet?

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
Yeah, the blind Bulgarian mystic. She's always saying this is
the date. Now, I didn't realise this. She died 30
years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
Did she?

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
Did she? We see these articles all the time. Baba
Vanya says this date is the end of the world.
Baba Vanya says watch out for this, you know. For seeing,
you know, the end of humanity. She's been dead for
30 years. These are predictions she made, apparently... when she
was alive. And a family member has been conveying this saying,

(01:25:18):
Baba Vanya heads up, Baba Vanya told me.

Speaker 1 (01:25:21):
Now, if that doesn't make sense. Of course she does.

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
Of course she did. So the world's doomed. I just
thought I wanted to bring that. You know, she said
that again.

Speaker 1 (01:25:29):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
Three of five of her major prophecies to date have
been unfulfilled.

Speaker 4 (01:25:36):
So.

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
Yeah, she doesn't have a great hit rate.

Speaker 2 (01:25:39):
But she had a lot of them for 2026. Here
are the ones that are going to be happening, honestly,
in the next month or so. Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:25:46):
Okay, here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:25:47):
A massive spacecraft will land and we will be making
contact finally with aliens. Now, you know I believe in,
so that's pegged for November. Oh, okay. So we've got
to like, let's tidy up. There's so much trash around,
aliens are going to come down and be like, ooh, rubbish.

Speaker 3 (01:26:01):
Well, should we get our Christmas shopping done pre that
or will there still be Christmas?

Speaker 2 (01:26:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:26:05):
I'm not doing No Nut November if there's aliens coming.

Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
Oh, God, no.

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
I'd do more nut.

Speaker 1 (01:26:11):
Yeah. Yeah, because it's stressful. What if they invade?

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
What if it's the end?

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
The end of it all. Or what if they're really
hot and I'm out of practice?

Speaker 2 (01:26:17):
Dude, we've got two months to live it up, okay?
According to Baba Vanya, who, by the way, reminder, died
30 years ago. Okay, now this one feels almost as
if we could be knocking on the door. World War
III tied to China-Taiwan tensions and a Russia-US confrontation.

Speaker 1 (01:26:32):
Well, she's on the money there, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
That's Baba Vanya. And that's happening before the end of 2026? Yeah.
Maybe the aliens could come in, distract us a bit
from that? Yeah. Surely both won't happen. And Putin's going
to lose power. Now, Putin wasn't around... Really?

Speaker 3 (01:26:47):
It sounds like the new relative is kind of trying
to cash in on this.

Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
A bit of filler.

Speaker 6 (01:26:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
Putin's losing power and being replaced as Russian leader. This
is all happening before the end of the year. The
other ones have already been fulfilled. She had five, I said,
for 2026. Natural disasters. Obviously, we've had earthquakes, wildfires, floods
and massive storms. Of course, there are going to be
those every year. Baba Fania predicted it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:27:08):
And machines replacing humans, which happens a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:27:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
And will be happening more and more. And it will
be undetectable on Fletch Vaughan and Healy.

Speaker 1 (01:27:20):
Let's come back in December and see how much of
these have come true.

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
So there is World War III, there is contact with
aliens and Putin being replaced as Russian leader.

Speaker 4 (01:27:29):
I counted 79 all rights today, Fletcher, but that's a
new personal record.

Speaker 1 (01:27:33):
Oh, f * * * off. How many of those
did you count? 79 of those too.

Speaker 7 (01:27:37):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us a rate
