Speaker 1 (01:50):
People are traveling here almost as much as before the pandemic.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Where are we gone?

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Like, we're at eighty something percent of people coming here
and yeah, which is good. Australia is the number one place.
I mean, that's no surprise, is it. That is just
it's what three our flight to Sydney three in a bit, yeah,
Ford of Melbourne. That also just be people back and
forth in the family over there, and I think they're

(02:15):
like the biggest they're like fifty percent of visitors to
New Zealand as well Australians. But again that's just key.
He's coming home, right, Yeah, nine percent of holidays. And
second place the place that Kiwis are going the most
FI g that makes sense, Yeah, makes sense. It's it's
family island. Yeah, we've done a FI It's not my

(02:37):
favorite island. Well, you've got to get off the island
to the other islands. Yeah, but I can see it's
like accessible and people just go and stand the resorts.
It's easy to get to. Yeah, I haven't done someherre
love it. It's on the last around it.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
So third.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
It sounds too hot to do that. You've got to
go in the cooler months, okay. On the list of
the cow and place Kibis are traveling the most the
US and in the UK okay, so yeah, but like
UK one, Yeah, just the UK. Also other parts of
your order. They fly into the UK and then maybe

(03:18):
just book flights return to London and then kind of.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Go around from there.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
But also speaking of travel, you'll be a bit you'd
be a bit on edge at the moment if your
book you've booked a trip to Bali, which wasn't on
the list of most popular destinations. But it's cheap. Well,
because you've got an exploding volcano. The volcano up again.
It's it's it's five hundred k's away from like Bali Dipping,

(03:43):
so the main airport you fly into. But yeah, the
it started on Sunday. Australian Airlines jets A, Quantas and
Virgin announced yesterday that flights basically people were stranded. They've
can last flight. I don't know if it's the same
one as last time. There's so many volcanoes around me.
I think the last one wasn't the last one on

(04:05):
the main island.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
It was closer.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Maybe it is, like I said, a gong was the
last one.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
What's this one that's going on? This one is.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Called Louid Toby Lucky Lucky Okay, So that was great pronunciation,
by the way, Yeah, perfect gong was.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
The one I was thinking from twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, this is active five hundred k's away from Balley.
So it exploded, killed nine people and like fifteen thousand
people evacuated. But yeah, a lot of flights even today
are looking at the flights in and out of Bali.
A lot of them have been disrupted or canceled. So yeah,
you've got a Barley trip. It's coming up soon years cross,

(04:45):
but I don't so no ye, so yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah it ms Fledgeborn and Hailey.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
I'm trying to find the definitive list of documentaries about
John Bene Ramsey because I can remember it happening as
a six Yeah, is that what happened ninety six? And
I can remember the yes, December twenty fifth or twenty
sixth niney ninety six, fantastic Christmas?

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Was it fantastic Christmas? Well, it is, apart.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
From for them, is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries
murder mysteries of all time.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
And like many series and dramas on TV back in
the day, were the original podcasts, weren't they?

Speaker 4 (05:25):
See I seem to remember a two night television event.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Well there was only I feel like last year or
the year before in Netflix mini series or donco about it.
But producer Shannon very excited at this news because you
have described the John Bene Ramsey murder case as your
Roman Empire.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
It just plagues my brain. I have just watched and
researched for so long. When I was in high school,
we got to study in history. We got to pick
a conspiracy theory and we had to run an essay
on it, and I did Marilyn Monroe because my teacher
said I wasn't allowed to do John Banne Ramsey, and
I remember crying.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Because it wasn't at school. Your teacher is like, find
a conspiracy theory and right about it.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
And the funny thing was is at the end of
the essay you had to say what you thought. And
if you did the moon landing and you said it
was fake, you would fail because they said you didn't
look at the evidence hard enough.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
And I remember that because my friend failed.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
She fearing what school? Did you go to?

Speaker 6 (06:22):
A public one?

Speaker 5 (06:27):
How it.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
All public schools? With that? Thank you?

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Now this Netflix have announced you Can documentary. I felt
the last song was amazing.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
Yeah, so this one, it's kind of re enacted by actors.
They're kind of getting all these actors to do it.
It's coming out on the twenty fifth of November, and
I am fizzing. We just watched the trailer and the
actors look so much like them. Right as soon as
I saw Patsy, I went guilty.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Host Patsy mum, because there are two options, right, the
brother did it, the younger brother did it, and the
parents covered it up. Then there was a ransom note,
which was what four pages it was, or it was
an intruder that just happened to walk off the street
bludgeon this girl and then leave. Yeah, and like and

(07:14):
then see the ransom note, but left the body.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
It was a.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
CNN documentary in twenty sixteen and they got a kid
to come in and use a torch on a watermelon
and the mark what.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Do you mean like put it behind the watermelon and
see through.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
The water No, like blood in the watermelon.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Blood in the watermelon? What a torch?

Speaker 6 (07:32):
Well, that was the murder weapon.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
If you were going to kill some of the torch
kind of torch would you use one of those big
police ones?

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah? Double yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
It was kind of like a long middle one.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
And so they still Actually I think they've got little
torches now. I think I think they go little but
powerful torches. Yeah, so that you wouldn't bludge in anyone.
Did I ever tell you about the time we found
a police torch? No, Hamilton, what did you handle this talk?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
No, Callum had it and then I think someone stole
it from his house.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Sort of a sort after item. Cool torch?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Okay, right Hamilton Marketplace and see if I can find
a police torch. I want a police to watch, and
I want a fireman's axe please. I want that Navy
seals use.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
How would that be just driving along at night?

Speaker 6 (08:20):
I want to know who killed John?

Speaker 1 (08:21):
But I ram, well you will, You'll get another documentary
and what ten days ten eleven days on Netflix.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Play Splitchborne and Hailey blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
This is the top.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Six ah when I put it where a grandad put
his last here, it is our top six signs the
tourists are back, because the numbers are back getting back up.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yeah, so almost.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
We're almost back to pre pandemic levels with tourists visiting
the country. It's a speedier recovery than expected. I thought
we'd kind of be back there by now. So in
September eighty seven percent of twenty nineteen numbers before the pandemic.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
But now we're changing people more to come to New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
I think it's like one hundred is it a one
hundred bucks extreme entry entry when you get your eVisa
right stance. New Zealand say overseas visitor numbers three point
two three million in September in September twenty twenty four years.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
So the year piece, it's like one hundred thousand people
a day. That explains the big lines. That's the year.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
But yeah, it's a big increase, but still still a
little bit below twenty nineteen numbers. Well, I've got the
top six signs that they're back baby. The numbers are
up number six on the last lovely little piles of
poos on the side of the road and rest areas
on State Highway one yeah, sixteen two twenty seven for
freedom of the State highways. Freedom campers, Yeah, yeah, they

(09:53):
love a little The sticker says self contained. Why are
they still doing purpose outside because nobody if you ever
been in a camper there, nobody wants to put in
the camp empty it and its smell.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yeah, there's emptying.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Spot number five on the list of the top six
signs the tourists are back baby.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Cars are driving on the both sides of the road.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Again, it's very confronting when you're in coensound or Wanaka
and you pull out somewhere and you're driving down the
road and you see the arrows pointing which way you
should be driving like that, it's right, And every reachon
how you get into should have a little stake left.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Yeah, they do, should have a keep leader.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
But then having driven also in places where you drive
on the other side of the road, it's just habit.

Speaker 7 (10:33):
Man.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Sometimes you pull out and you're just about to pull
out on the wrong lane. Follow. I just follow people, Yeah,
but that's well, that's all right. If there's people around,
I just wait till someone comes up.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
It's right.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
We were in America and I was driving in LA
and I was coming up to an intersection. I was like,
I hate zero idea of what to do here, so
I just kind of like pulled over, yeah, and then
waited for someone to come up behind me. Then I
got back and behind them, and for luckily they were turning.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
And I followed them around. Yeah. Otherwise I guess I
just would have flawed it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Number four on the list of the top sex signs,
the tourists are back. You meet someone on what I
would describe as a challenging bush hike and they're wearing
socks and sandals, yeah, class socks and sandals, light shirt shorts,
and then they might stay the night in the heart
completely ill propated classic. Number three on the list of
the top six signs, The tourists are back. You see

(11:21):
people climbing fences to get into paddocks with dangerous animals
because they assume every animal is a friendly photo opportunity. Yes, oh,
that is a beautiful Highland cow with literal swords attached
to inside of his head.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
I might chomping the paddock with it.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Number two on the least of the top sex signs,
The tourists are back. People with funny accidents are asking
you where the hobbits are.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yeah, that's a suref down the road.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, keep driving that way you will come across the
shire for sure. And number one on the less of
the top six signs the tourists are back. You're likely
to come around the corner in a scenic spot on
a road to a family standing in the middle of
that road for a photo. Because those road photo where
the road is like, yeah, going through the middle of
a hill and there's a thing in the background, hot
property on the ground, they said, tartarnake. One round the

(12:07):
road goes up in the mountains in the background. Beautiful
And there's the stretch of road out towards out from
Queenstown past Glen Orki. Oh yeah, yeah, people always stopping
around there. Man, beautiful shots of these long straight roads.
But there's a corner at the start. Yeah, there's a
corner and a few months that you can go. Just
be careful as what I'm saying, just drive very carefully.

(12:30):
That's today's top six.

Speaker 8 (12:32):
Play zims Fletchborne and Haley play zims Fletchborn and Haley.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Okay, we've talked about.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Sleep divorces and people get them and my grandparents to
had two single beds in the same room.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
But it was a very big room.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
And there are on other sides of the room but
beds single beads and they could have.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
Fit at least double or Queen's.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
They could have fit. The room was huge. They could
have fit five king sized belhind the room I still
had room. You know those hotel rooms that there's two
big beds and you put your suitcase on one of them, yeah,
and the other one you sleep.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Their room was significantly large.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
That would be the ultimate or like how Europeans do it.
There's kind of like two mattresses next to each other. Yeah,
and you each get a dovet, so you're not stealing
the dobat.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
That's the way to do it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Whereas my parents get into bed together until one of
them starts snoring and the other one gets so shitty
they go and sleep in the other room. Yeah, and
then that's a modern take on a sleep divorce. Yes,
that's just whoever can get to sleep first and start
snoring will vacate the other one.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Well, this has become popular, those sleep divorces.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
I can totally if you're not getting a good night's sleep,
you can totally see if your partners a snorer.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
So this couple, American couple, they do a little bit differently.
They've got custom made queen size bunk beds. So okay,
they've both got a queen sized bed each, but they're
literally sleeping right on top of each other.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
That's gonna have to have. They got.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
It's not a rickety bunk bed, it's it's it doesn't
look like it's rough, so on timber, right, struct, dark
hut vibe.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yeah, a bit of mattress.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
So you know, there's some of those Airbnb's in there.
There's like the middle bunk beards and there's a bar
in between the mattress.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
And it's not ds, not kads bunks. It's like big,
grunty bunks.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
So I wouldn't mind that, but I would want to
be on the bottom bunk because I go wheeze all
the time.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
It's very study.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
It doesn't look like it would wobble and rockety when
the person on the top bunk gets up to go
wee's in the middle of the night and the ladder's
big yep.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
But and then so the person up top leans over
in the morning to check the person downstairs is away,
and then they'll pop downstairs for a cuddle. So yeah,
And they said it's great that they're younger, though they've
only been married for five.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Years, an old old cup. They're American, aren't they? Young?
And Americans?

Speaker 1 (14:56):
So a story from July said that over a third
of Americans say that they sleep in another room or
have a sleep divorce arrangement to accommodate their partner. Yeah,
so just snoring, just a living crisis. Though you've got
a here, you've got to have an extra, an extra
room mate, otherwise you're just going to be if you

(15:16):
can afford that luxury. Yeah, or you just do single
beds in the same room or double beds in the
same room in a really big room, total opposite side.
Push them together to turn off your hearing aid. Yeah,
and don't you chainsawing in the other corner. Play it
ms flet Vaughn and Haley.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Silly little pool, still pole.

Speaker 6 (15:39):
It is so silly, silly, silly, that.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Silly little pool, silly little silly little pool. Today.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Do you poop at the same time every day? Fifty
six percent of people said no, Really, people said yes,
they poop at the same time everything. I'd say, I'm
like the mornings, give or take roughly the same time.
I think it's for me. It's around about the same
time every morning. Yeah, because it'll be after work on

(16:15):
a weekday and at the on the weekend, it'll be
like after breakfast, which both Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
A line around you know, nine nine thirty same time.

Speaker 9 (16:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, And it was this week I heard the great
saying boss gets paid in dollars. I get paid in dimes.
That's why I'm always doing my purpose on the company's time.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Oh yeah, okay, great, great, that's great stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Get to work, yeah, Clark, And yeah, you're doing that
for free at home and you're having to buy the
toilet paper.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Yeah, yeah, great idea.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Vaughan first thing in the morning, says chairs. Sometimes it
even wakes me up if I'm trying to have a lion.
Oh okay, oh my god, I'll get working by a
Wii regularly.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Yeah, because I did.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
I did look at some Google results and they say
that the morning is when the coal and like you,
while you're sleeping, So in the morning is the best
time it does its work. Yeah, it does its work
while you're sleeping. And said here, you should poop anywhere
from three times a day up to three times a week.
Who's no, three times a week up to three times

(17:17):
a day because if you were, that would be a movement,
and that would be a movement down and bow it. Yeah,
anything from three times a week to three times a
day is normal.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
Who's not pooping every day? Some people don't. Some people
just don't that blow my mind?

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah, don't. They gotta get it move they gotta get
a moving have they not eat fiber? And then some
people worth like I guess if you're purping more than
three times a day. You might have the old ibs
might be yeah, or like yeah, should probably get talked
to somebody about it. Yeah, but goodness, I recently heard
about some of the poops once a week regularly once

(17:55):
not just when they're just once a week. Do they
must be as hard as a rock is, so compacted,
so compacted as wild.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
First thing in the morning, I yet not read that one.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
I'm laughing and IBS is lotty right, slave to my body. Okay,
I must go, and I must go, actually said my
boss knows the phones will not be answered for a
ten minute window at two thirty pm. That's what I'm doing,
my purpin right, okay to thirty pm.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
It's late, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Big lunch mat So when you have you ever had
like I think I can think of three times in
my adult life, ring to go purs in the middle
of the night, so weird, so weird in the dark,
because you everybody knows that, like needing to bust, to
go wheeze in the middle of the night, feeling yeah,
because I go, I'll go for a minnight. You know,
three all the time poopings when you're at your most vulnerable. Yeah,

(18:49):
and it feels that it's wrong to do it in
the dark. It feels like primarily it would have been
a terrible iada to sneak out of the cave. Yes,
for a poop, you would get eaten. You'd get eaten
by so yeah, by something I don't. I don't even
poo every day. I'm a once or once or twice
a week kind of goals taken. How is that possible?
I don't Is she eating enough enough? You need some

(19:12):
fiber in your diet? Made a musial pels, but they're not. Yeah,
I don't know. Is it a painful one when you
do go? It needs to be any more regulations? We
should we should do an a once a week purpose. Yeah,
I've got so many questions. Mason said, no poop schedule here,
I poop on a need to purp basis. Do you

(19:34):
find it weird because I'm always the same time esh morning.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
If you go on holiday and then everybody goes up,
so I think it's plain food and you change and
diet when you go on holiday, that just clogs it
up a bit, and then you get your.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Barley belly or your daily belly, and it.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Sorts it stuff out pretty smartly, Courtney said.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
Musically in the morning coffee. Oh you know.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
She regular okay, Mirror says yep every morning and night,
morning and night, top and tail on the day, top
tail book ending of the day with I absolutely hate
using public bathrooms and avoided it all costs, So I
guess my body's just adapted to I poop when I'm
at home. Yeah, Nadine said, if only I had that
sort of bowel organization in my life. And because I went,

(20:18):
I know a ship when I need a ship, sus

seen the show and you're going two more times. Yeah,
someone say slightly obsessed.

Speaker 6 (22:39):
Cheap?

We want to talk about now if you're named after
a fictitious character, like a movie character or someone from
a TV show. Because a lady on Reddit said she's
pregnant she's twenty three. Yeah, she wants the name of
baby after a Star Trek character. Okay, she loves Star Trek,
or maybe she's just heard a name while spot I'm
playing Spark A great name, yep, Tiberius because that's.

named after Ben Kenobi Obi Wan Kenobi, and his middle
name was Luke because his parents from Massive Star Wars.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
See, you're just lucky you've got a wife that said
no to all of that. Yeah, well, Indy.

Speaker 1 (24:18):

Speaker 10 (24:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
You can't wish we had states. You know, we've got regions,
the provinces. Your province is just not as cool sounding,
is it.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
No. I like provinces. I think we should say states.
I think we should say the state of Auckland.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
The state of the state of the state of Taranaki. Yeah,
sort of thing. You can do that if you want.
You know, you just don't know how you're talking about.
Pull down menu when we're filling out on a dress
just makes you feel a bit special.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
What state? Yeah? So we yeah, we want to know
this morning.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
If you're named after a fictitious character, maybe it's from
a book, there from a movie.

Do you know what?

Speaker 1 (25:16):
There aren't there And I know we've talked about this
in the past. Kalis's After Game of Thrones. I heard
on school pick up one day somebody walking around saying,
hurry up, Callisi.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
What a sentence to hear.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
And they would literally that would have been they would
have been young enough that that was a game year one,
so five totally well young enough, Yeah, to be named
Callisi from Game of Thrones.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
I love that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
I think Game of Thrones had the names. That's like Denarius,
sounds like a posh classic English name, but it was
totally made.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Up by Yeah, it was by George R. R.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Martin, who apparently there is there's a Game of Thrones
movie coming HBO. I've had this big like kind of
a couple of days at press, like released a few
white Lotus teasers and stuff, and apparently that there is
a Game of Thrones movie coming, so maybe that will
inspire more fictitious.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Name.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
There are some messages coming, okay from some people whose
parents thought they were making like a wild Shot in
the Dark and then the movie got really popular. Oh okay, okay,

You are imagining it's got to be something a little
bit different, right, Yeah, well, wow, we're hearing, we're sily

Goblin King and The Labyrinth, as that was my mum's
favorite movie while she was pregnant with.

probably gonna start losing.

Speaker 8 (28:01):
Us here nineteen now and hasn't.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
But wow, so he's nineteen.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
So you named him after like the first Fast and
the Furious movie. You had no idea it was going
to be a franchise of like fifteen of them.

Speaker 8 (28:16):
No, not at all.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
I didn't think you would have seen that first movie
in thought, I think, which was going strong in twelve
years or twenty years.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
That's insane. There'll be a lot of these.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
I feel like this, this is the franchise that's going
to take on. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
How does he feel about that name of it?

Speaker 11 (28:32):
Now?

Speaker 8 (28:34):
Hey thinks it's funny.

Speaker 1 (28:35):

Speaker 8 (29:58):
This was before the movies. It was with the movies
were the thing. Yeah, when the came out, I really
did want to stare people.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
For all the jokes because from the move from the
point the movies came out. Have you just been explaining
or having conversations about your name every single day?

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (30:19):
Yeah, you would, and no one knew how to pronounce
it before the movies came out right.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
I mean the wildest part is your middle name is Frodo.
That's what I as. What is your middle name really boring?

Speaker 8 (30:34):
Jane?

Speaker 4 (30:45):
That's incredible. Thanks you call some messages in the Shi music.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
I can keep it going, Lovely lovely churn. He did
a fantastic job of scoring these movies, Howard. Sure, Yeah, okay, correct,
I'm in the middle of a rewatch. Okay, I tell
you what. I'm really appreciating the music second time around.
Savannah the Prince of Tides. This is a movie and
a book, but the character that I'm named after gets
institutionalized and goes crazy. Okay, My mum was never intending

(31:13):
for me to be crazy, and I'm not. Don't worry.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Crazy people say they're not crazy. My son is Body
from Point Break with Patrick Swayzey. Was Patrick Swayzey. He
was Body, a character from a Point Break called I
Can't Remember. I was going to missa jan My son's
name is mcgever. What you are kidding me?

Speaker 4 (31:34):
That's not true. That's not true. He also got to
meet mcgiver. Yeah, we got to meet mcgiver and it
was really disappointing.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Well, he wasn't doing a jump roll through a gate.
Was he were making a bomb outis Addison mum chewing gum?
And then he hands sanitized in front of us and
it was like, I felt like we should be the
ones sanitizing. Yeah, yeah, he was quite sweaty. It was
just the whole thing was childhood disappointment. I went to
a school holiday camp with my daughter a couple of

(32:01):
years ago.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
We've moved on to the next song.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm just gonna cut the I'm just
cutting in a world from you. I went to school
holiday with my daughter a couple of years ago and
helped with the group because there was a ten year
old girl called Yoda.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
It wasn't miss you miss hearing it? Or was Yoda
like a nickname? Yoda was the nickname? Maybe it was
a nickname.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Surely the government that burst deaths and marriages aren't going
to let you call your kid Yoda. I feel I've
sawd us a lot. There should be a naming panel
that says yes or no. What a fun job. It
would be a great job. No, no, try again, don't
be silly. Named Jack's after the Sons of Anarchy character. Yeah,
you're rolling the rice on that one, boy on your hands.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
My middle name is Morgana after MORGANA la Faye from
the King Arthur stories. Okay, very classic there. Yeah. My
son's name is Hudson. He is named after the Hudson Hornet,
which was her car in the movie Cars.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
That's pretty good. Wow, it's pretty good. They named after
the car from the movie Cars, Hudson.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah. A girl I go to the gym with named
her daughter Kruella because they love the movie so much.
Like even the girl she gets called Ala or Crew.
Oh yeah, yeah, those are cool nicknames. Yeah, because that's
an evil character.

Speaker 7 (33:26):
Well.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
I never watched them a Stone movie the Origins. But
I mean she did plan to murder one hundred one dalmatians,
so she might not have started out bad.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
She's sure in in there she just a cat? Person?
Is that the thing?

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Didn't she have a cat? Didn't she have a I
don't really know the story. Yeah, I just the one
hundred Yeah, that's all I literally know of the story.
I was always led to believe that one dog had
given birth to one hundred and one Dalmatians, but it
was just her puppies were part of the larger pool
of dalmation. It simply sounds like this, some people should
be taking responsibility and getting there and animals new noted.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
But then in the end, I don't think there's enough
if it put into finding the owners of the other
Dalmatians that they just take the Dalmatians. See again, I
don't know the story, so I just know that there's
one hundred and.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
One of them.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Character from point break was Johnny Utah. How could I
figure one of the greatest names of all types?

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Its fledgeborn and Hailey.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
Areas. He's in bad.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
News Bread one day, we're going to give it to your.

Speaker 11 (34:30):
Birthday, Bread January January. Why do you want to know
you're going to steal my financial details on scam?

Speaker 1 (34:36):
No, no, no, no no, I just thought I've never
known were Does that make you an aquarius or a
caprical capricorn? Front half of the month? Okay, right again?
Are you trying to scam them? It sounds like a scam.
The street you grew up on made the name first
pit bad News Bread. It's our affectionate nickname for you.

(35:01):
We'd love to one day call you good News Brad. Yeah,
if you're new to show, Brad's the chief economist and
big dog who droves a Ford Ranger when he's in
the regents. It was one time just tell me sometimes
he gets a Ford Ranger as a higher as a
higher car. Well, that's a big meg.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
Energy, it was.

Speaker 11 (35:18):
I'm not going to lie as someone who quite likes
my you know, small cars and maneuverability, big old Ford
range of very different park.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Yeah, Struggle Street.

Speaker 11 (35:25):
Now you're not a preck well, I mean other people
would probably be to different, but I like that you've.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Got that he changes.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
He changes when he is in a Ford Ranger though
everybody does. Everybody does, it's just comes with the territory. Now,
people love our chance with you, Brad. We obviously don't
have a lot of time now to get into big
in depth discussions, but over the weekend we're going to
do a podcast with you. So if you have a question,
a financial question that is that you'd love Brad to answer.
If you go to our instagram, if vh ZiT in

(35:54):
there's a question box, and we'll do our best to
answer those on the podcast record over the weekend, but
right now we thought we'd chat the I guess the
state of the economy.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
A lot of people fixing mortgages. I saw.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
I heard a stat the other days at billions of
dollars that need fixing in the next week.

Speaker 11 (36:08):
Want well, I think it's something like thirty forty percent
of people have refixed in the last couple of months
for just six months, so a lot of people going short,
you know, because indistrates are coming down for the first time,
and that is sort of the good news. If you
look at one year special mortgage rates sort of what
you can get if you've got over twenty percent equity
when you go in for a home loan, go back
about a year or so when they were at seven
point three percent. You can get stuff today for below

(36:31):
six percent, so a whole percentage point lower that people
can start to get a mortgage on.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
That's that's encouraging news.

Speaker 11 (36:37):
It's a much better start, and it means that people
do have a little bit more free cash in their pockets.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
When's the next ocr are they review.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Because aren't they talking about doing a megacut or they
have been talking of it.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
It's next week, next Wednesday? No, is it next week?
The two weeks time. I'm trying to think of your Thanksgiving,
isn't it. It's sort of it.

Speaker 11 (36:54):
And it's one of those things where like, because we
live and breathe it so much, you actually lose track
of the dates. I almost feel like we're into some
it's the twenty seven seventh. Yeah, yeah, it must be
two weeks away then. But yeah, there was talk of
maybe a seventy five basis point big cut just because
they're coming in in November. It's the last time they
review interest rates for three months. Normals every six weeks,
this time it'll be twelve because they take a big

(37:16):
long summer break because we need Yeah, well, it's the
thing I'm always like, come on, guys, everyone else has
got to work fuly.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
They can cut the rates from a batch in the
coramandle oh.

Speaker 11 (37:24):
I was gonna say, just get we're brown on a
team chat right, you know, like thumbs up react for
fifty you know, heart reactions for seventy five.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Yeah, I Reckon just said to Adrian, I mate on
the fifteenth of decembed, you up to you yeah, yeah,
to point whatever you feels right, what's up?

Speaker 4 (37:38):
But they do.

Speaker 11 (37:40):
So there was talk of a seventy five because they
might need a bit of insurance over that longer summer period,
you know, then come back next year assess how things going.
Some of the data since then hasn't been sort of
enough to convince us that we really do need the
big one. But pretty much expectations are settled on fifty
basis points. So another fairly big cut coming through.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
How has the you where selection changed that? Because Big
DT always been a huge fan by the way, Johnald Trump, Yeah,
you just don't want to go to President A.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
Yeah, are you planning to travel to the US and
you're just trying to make sure that you're huge fan.

Speaker 9 (38:16):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
He's putting tariffs on important goods, and we do export
quite a bit to the United States.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
We do.

Speaker 11 (38:22):
And look, the tariffs are a big, big, sort of
question mark because let's be real, he gets in on
the twentieth of January next year, so it's still a
little while away. And will he do it day one?
Probably not, like he's got other things to do. So
I think there's a question of one if he does
those tariffs at all but two if they come through
as immediately. Long story short, I think the risk at
the moment that we've been seeing and.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
Economists are never happy.

Speaker 11 (38:44):
Right when we looked at Harris's policies, we were like, oh, well,
you know, it wouldn't have enough growth, and then for
Trump it was like, oh, there's too much growth coming
through this time round. What we think might happen is
that all of that could lead to higher interest rates.
If the US economy actually goes too hot, that would
generate a bit more inflation there locally, and that means
that their central bank doesn't need to cut interest rates

(39:04):
quite as much. That would have indirect but flow on
implications for ours. Long story short, interest rates still coming down.
Question next year is if they come down quite as much.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
So the greatest question of all time? How long do
you lock it in for? If you're Vaughan Smith and
you have well so on mine, Actually I need to
would be refixing before the twenty seventh, But I'm you
know what I'm going to do. I'm going to roll
the I'm going to roll the dice on a float
for a little while, because I think the floating rate
now is still less than what I've locked.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
In a previously really, so I'm going to float.

Speaker 11 (39:37):
I think you got a bad deal that last time
I've locked it, and that hurts Daddy's while at big time, Yeah, well,
not specific advice. I'm sort of surprised that no one's
ever pined me as well, you know for this you
always worried, but you do always say this is yeah, okay,
some things. One sort of thing to consider because a

(40:00):
lot of people, like I say, there's this great chart
that people are that I'm showing around to our clients
and people at the moment showing just how massive a
proportion of new mortgage lending is going on just six
month terms.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
Like the very very shortest.

Speaker 11 (40:13):
And what gets me is when you actually look at
some of those numbers, you go is six months the
best I get how people going six months means I
get to refix lower sooner. But the gap between your
six months and sometimes you're one year, that sometimes worth
having a little bit of it, either a shop around
or talking to a mortgage advisor or somethe and going
what actually is my best bet here? Because like I say,

(40:35):
there's some questions at the moment that we're asking ourselves
as economists, how much lower interest rates go. They don't
go a bit lower, but we wonder where that bottom
starts to come out because you look at some of
the banks a couple of weeks ago. They've continued to
cut their short term rates, but they actually lifted their
four and five years.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Just to smitch.

Speaker 11 (40:52):
But it sort of said, all we may be close
to the bottom. So questions to be asked. Don't necessarily
think that just because it's the shortest, it's the bestest,
and maybe not if you're Trump the bigger option. Just
have a little bit of a think about those other options,
have a little bit of a cast around what are
those different rates?

Speaker 4 (41:08):
What can you get? Because it might be worth shopping around.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
So does that mean with Trump next year, is travel
to the US a bad idea? It's a dollar going
to be really crap for US next year traveling?

Speaker 11 (41:18):
I mean quite possibly. The dollar has already sort of
come into a worse position. I mean it's only down
about a one cent, but that's still not good. And
it's sort of direction to travel wise not awesome. But
I mean all of this is sort of a little
bit of hindsight, right, if you were that smart and
you were putting all your money in the betting markets,
you'd be laughing all the way to the bank at
the moment. And if you're going traveling, like, there's never

(41:38):
a great time is there to lock in your money.
You know, everyone's always oh, I'll wait another week or
I should have done it back then. Like, if you're traveling,
you probably don't care that much about how politics are going.
You're going to go and have a look gun, you know,
smash your face into some big American food and I mean.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Yeah, yeah, here, I worry about it later, and then
that's the best financial advice.

Speaker 4 (41:59):
Eh, check it out, worry about mate. I mean, sounds
so much like.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
The one good thing about Trump, though the Trump one
has the key we savor. Balances are insane at the moment,
and like manage funds just gone nuts in the last week.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
And all of cost that's was woman's reproductive rights. You know,
what are they on something? My joke? I joke. I
don't know. People.

Producer Shannon joins us, who was famous for giving us Shannon's.

Speaker 6 (43:18):
Hacks best hacks in the world.

Speaker 4 (43:20):
Well, not yet. You yet to receive a fine star review.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
I did get four though, when we take pads to
Haley's foot, I don't remember.

Speaker 6 (43:32):
You gave it a three and Vaughn gave it a two.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
Average, so that's about a three.

Speaker 5 (43:39):
Well, I've got one today. Christmas is upon us, which
I'm very excited about. And you know, every year people
get real trendy and want to do theme trees.

Speaker 6 (43:48):
That's kind of a goo to at the moment.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Do you know I forty days away from Christmas. I've
got my Christmas clock.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
Wow, count down on my laptop. Forty days.

Speaker 6 (43:56):
Perfect timing for this hack.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (43:58):
So if you're getting ready to sit.

Speaker 5 (43:59):
Up your tree and you're like, I want to do
a new aesthetic this year, you know, people go for
the teal, or they'll do a pink Christmas or you.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Know, yeah, but it's exciting nice to have a pink
Christmas tree in my flat.

Speaker 4 (44:08):
Do you remember that one?

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (44:09):
But great?

Speaker 1 (44:10):
What do we call it the gay Christmas Tree? Yeah,
it's beautiful, it's beautiful.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
It was, yeah, and silver really pomped.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Yeah, and a gay man owned it and he called
it the big Gay. So we were just calling it
what he called it. Yeah, we weren't saying Pink's gay. No,
absolutely not No, just protecting ourselves there after the Trump
thing before, I really feel like we put some safeguards.
I don't want to get it. I really don't want
to get cancer. I will always talk about mortgatory pansy

(44:38):
don't have a panic attack.

Speaker 5 (44:40):
Well, yeah, so everyone does theme trees, which can be
really wasteful and really expensive. If you go all out
one year and buy a bunch of silver ball balls,
the next year you're like, I want gold.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Not if you put them in the garage and recycle
and go on off every few years.

Speaker 5 (44:53):
Yeah, but you know people are going trendy and they're
buying new themes. So I've got a hack to save
money and save the environment. All you need to do
is buy a packet of balloons the color that you want,
chop off the little neck jump I'm going to use
the term condom it around.

Speaker 6 (45:10):
A bull bull. Okay, you have now a.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
Themed Christmas tree, no waste, and every year you can
swap it.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
I think balloons. What do you think balloons are made of?
Just a quick question?

Speaker 4 (45:20):
There was and that's bi itegradable in your opinion.

Speaker 5 (45:25):
Well, you're only buying maybe twelve latex balloons versus a
whole pack of ballbulls, which.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
Will last forever.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
But do you when you do it next year, do
you just get different color balloons and put them over
the top of the existing balloons, or do you peel
the balloons off and discard them.

Speaker 6 (45:45):
Which ever gets me a higher hack star.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
Well, because everyone's going to be like, do you have
balloons on your Christmas tree?

Speaker 5 (45:53):
They don't look like balloons. It'll texture around them.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Ballbulls are shiny and have a shiny finish.

Speaker 6 (46:00):
You can put some vessel on if you want. Oh
my god, maybe some.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
Da No, some lube. So now you putting glube on it.

Speaker 6 (46:07):
Yeah, it'll make it shiny.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Okay to picture that for a second on your on
your Christmas tree.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
Merry Christmas, Mum, Marry peers.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Dad. Why is that balloon on the tree shining so much?
We covered it in kwoy jelly.

Speaker 6 (46:20):
Yeah, but you saved the planet and you save money.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
I don't know if because anybody's still using k jelly
is lube pop do you mean as the preferred brand.

Speaker 6 (46:33):
It's the bable cover of chies, you know.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
I don't think anyone's using it to put on their
Christmas decorations.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
She had not at all.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
Okay, I'm going to give you a zero point five
point five.

Speaker 6 (46:45):
Are you understanding what I'm saying?

Speaker 4 (46:47):
Yeah, definitely, perfectly. I absolutely am man.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Ky Jelly is expensive twenty two dollars for a one
hundred gram tube. Yeah, and that's at the chemists warehouse
with it, don't you know that around Yeah? Yeah, a
good prime you need to get if you want to
bulk by, you need to find out where the doctors
get their big Yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Nothing's as sexy as getting down to it.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
I'll pull the I'll pull the bucket leader, I'll pull
the bucket lid of k I and just get a
whole hand and plays z M S flesch form and
well he probably became known to everybody in the American
version of the Office has a goofy gym. Well, now
he's the world's sexiest man according to People magazine. John Krasinski,

(47:28):
who do you have a big blow up? He especially
because he played Pratt type glower. Yeah. He played Jack Ryan, Yes,
in the Prime series that and he was he was
a bit of a shit kicker in that. Yeah. He's
married to Emily Blunt. I've got children together. Yeah, she's.

Speaker 4 (47:48):
Very good.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
They keep their kids pretty private, right, but those kids
are going to be good looking kids when they grow up.
I reckon with parents like that. But sometimes yeah, sometimes,
and sometimes you're like huh, I mean you're not, but
you think it.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
What you just don't say it out late, but you
think it. Yeah, you're like, what happened there? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (48:06):
But also when you see someone that really hot and
then you see their parents and you're like, I.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
Know, and you're like, how did that happen? Or someone
that's really tall and you see their parents and they're not. Yeah,
you're like, and they don't look anything like their dad.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Yeah, Ace history dogs and you're like, oh well. It
has kind of divided people because you know, the man
of the moment, Glenn Powell that everybody's.

Speaker 4 (48:29):
Glen Pale's got so much time to.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
Be people's sixiest Man, but everyone thought it's his time.
Surely he's a shill in this year. Nah, he's got time.
They were always a little bit older. It's always like
Brad Pitt got it on his a little bit older.
Richard Gear has won it twice late. Yeah, you know,
George Clooney's been it. It's always the older gentleman with.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
People sixiest man.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Producer, girlies, How do we feel about this choice this year?

Speaker 12 (48:52):
Look, I think that he's an attractive man one hundred percent.
He's not who I would have picked this year.

Speaker 4 (48:57):
Who would you who would have been your number one glen?

Speaker 12 (49:00):
Okay, right, did you see that Twisters movie? I?

Speaker 1 (49:04):
I didn't, but you know, I find tornadoes very sixy,
so unfair advantage because he's surrounded by them. Do you
think it is the weather though, that makes him hotter
like the weather?

Speaker 12 (49:17):
I think it's like him. He's like chasing after them,
like saving people and stuff hot.

Speaker 6 (49:21):
And did you see him in Top Gun Mayverrock? I mean, hell, yeah,
that was cool.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Again, that's unfair though, because white horny when it comes
to fighter git ye, any warplanes basically, Yeah, let's just
see him in a normal because he wasn't that Netflix
hat man. He was great in that.

Speaker 6 (49:37):
Yeah, and I think anything but you hot?

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (49:41):
What has John done this year for us to know
if he's hold or not?

Speaker 1 (49:43):
You know, well, it's just been directed. He's moved a
lot into like directing.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
I don't think she's met with a very sixy response.
But no.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
He did that Imaginary Friends movie with Ryan Reynolds that
everyone was like, and then Ryan Reynolds was like, guys,
dead Pools coming out and never got about that. Anyone
forgot if right, Shannon, not your peck.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
No, you know, I think, you know, Glenn Powell seems
like the right choice. He's been in a lot for me,
top Gun Maverick. I've seen it like six times. Him
and Miles Taylor. I mean I could give them the
award together.

Speaker 4 (50:16):
You know, Miles Taylor is a good looking dude. I
think you're going to say, like to see a magician
up there and like type Chriss Angel.

Speaker 5 (50:26):
Number one, David Copperfielder at three and four.

Speaker 6 (50:34):
It's good stuff.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
Paul Daniels. Daniels, I could never do any of those.

Speaker 6 (50:43):
J the clown. Have you heard of him?

Speaker 4 (50:44):
He looks you know, the clown.

Speaker 7 (50:48):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (50:49):
Okay, great, Well people's sexiest man alive.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
It's surprisingly it's not. The Clown's not.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
A magician, plays zidim S, Fletchborne and Hayley.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
I want to talk now about the loyalty programs or
the points rewards systems that you're addicted to. Yeah, because
news that Woolworths or countdown that's now slowly turning into
war Worths.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
I're gonna let.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
You use your everyday rewards points for air points in
New Zealand airpoints or Quantus points.

Speaker 4 (51:25):
So they've added a couple of airlines.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
Those they come to both the competing airlines.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
I don't get the airlines.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
When you get to two thousand rewards points, you can choose, okay.

Speaker 4 (51:39):
Or I don't know.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Maybe you can log on and select what was old
because New world you can select either to get the
points or airpoints.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
Yeah. I got airpoints, and then you do it.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
New Worlds also got club card because sometimes I'll see
something on special and ill, oh, that's a good price,
and I'll get it, and then I'll get up to
things and it'll be like, oh, it doesn't work, and
I'll say, excuse me, this is priced. And they said,
do you have a club card? And I said no,
And they said you need a club card. I know,
because they don't just give you one anymore. You've gotta
have one.

Speaker 4 (52:08):
Yeah. Yeah, so just get one.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
I don't know to get your points, or do I
turn my club card points into air points? You can
select either. It's not it's literally so easy. You can
choose any I just always just give air points.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
Same, But do I if I use my club card,
can I still use air points?

Speaker 4 (52:26):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Okay, Yeah, so I get the discount, but I don't
have to get the points. But I feel like I'm
working at a customer service desk and I'm dealing with
morons all day. Yeah, and I've only dealt with your
question very hard word. But this is what I wanted
to know because so many people are like into on.
My mum was the coupon queen growing up. She go

(52:47):
to town and go to the two different supermarkets. Really,
she had different specials and different coupons. But this is
the thing now with these loyalty they're trying to like, well,
that's the whole reason they're called loyalty programs. They're trying
to make you loyalty just their brain spending money there.
And some people like won't fly a different airline because
they want the air points and the status, or they
will only go to the supermarket because they want the points, yes,

(53:08):
and they never go anywhere else.

Speaker 4 (53:10):
Yeah, and that's what I want to reckon.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
One of the biggest sway away from that loyalty is
when they do the things like the plates and the
knives and you collect the stamps, yeah, and then you're
just like I need them, I reckon. That sways people across.
But if you did the maths on it, it wouldn't
stack up no or no. You see your statement and
you've gone to do your supermarket shopping and you get
like zero point eight seven airpoints, You're just like.

Speaker 4 (53:30):
Well that because I don't know matter.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
I've got that app, that Stoke card app on my phone. Yes,
I've got fly Bys rop rop that's gone now. But
people were into that, weren't they. But everything else isn't
like a loyalty program so much as it is. You
need the card you to get the discount, like Gilmore's
card and my card. But those are both things you've
got to You've got to have to have you get

(53:53):
in there. But I don't think anything else is like
loyalty program. Producer girlies, are you hopped on any loyalty programs?

Speaker 12 (54:00):
I love Farmer's Club Card.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Oh, I always whenever I go to Farmers Jocks, I
always going by my jockeys from Farmers Special.

Speaker 4 (54:11):
They are actually jockeys.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Yeah, that the jockey brand, Okay, But I don't want
people thinking I'm wearing dad jocks.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
No, you wear You're wearing a box of brief? Yeah?
Is that what these are called? Box of brief? A
box of brief?

Speaker 1 (54:23):
And they changed the recipe of my box of brief recently,
I wasn't so happy on it. What did they change
in the rest some recipe there's some part of the
recipe chain. The waistband was different, but that wasn't my
biggest issue. The farm they changed, which I did not approve.

Speaker 6 (54:35):
Did you change?

Speaker 1 (54:36):
No?

Speaker 4 (54:38):
I mean undoubtedly, or maybe I.

Speaker 6 (54:40):
Didn't mean it in a white way. I just didn't
like configuration down there when my.

Speaker 4 (54:45):
Balls go on top? Now, what do you think?

Speaker 1 (54:48):
I don't think there's definitely diffinitely a recipe change of
the grass.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
Yeah, But anyway, whenever I go.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
To farmers, there always that you have a farmer's card.
I say no, my wife does, though I give her
give them her for I'm not. I give them her
phone number, right, well she's and then she gets points?

Speaker 4 (55:06):
Right, what do you do with those points?

Speaker 12 (55:08):
You get a voucher, a tweet all a voucher. I
think I can't remember how many points it is, but
it's not much like I get it pretty quickly, and
for ages I was doing the same thing as you
and just using my mom's number until one day she
was They were like, oh, you've got a voucher, and
I was like, oh cool, and they're like you need
to have your card to use the voucher.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
And I was like, so you were going to steal
off your mum, your own mum that birthed you.

Speaker 12 (55:30):
I was the one that had just spent a bunch
of money and got her that voucher. So now I've
got my own cards, okay, and now I give Carmen
all my points.

Speaker 4 (55:40):
But why don't you just have your own? I don't.

Speaker 5 (55:43):
I don't believe with wallets, right, I don't want to
carry anything.

Speaker 6 (55:46):
I just give them to that.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
Okay, Well, I wouldn't know what the loyalty programs that
people are addicted to. You can text a nine six
nine six eight hundred dollars at M.

Speaker 4 (55:58):
The loyalty programs, I.

Speaker 11 (56:00):
Don't know.

Speaker 4 (56:01):
Yeah, some people don't here, but some people just.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Like just absolutely nuts about every purchase they make. I
remember was it Razine that said, do you want to
sign up to our loyalty programs? Like?

Speaker 4 (56:11):
I just don't paint that much? Do you like it?

Speaker 1 (56:13):
If I as a trade, absolutely, I'd picked my brand.

Speaker 4 (56:16):
And I'd stick to it. If I don't paint that much,
what are you painting of fence? Like every ten years?

Speaker 1 (56:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (56:22):
Hopefully not more often because yeah, it's not my thing.
It's expensive. Oh wait, hundred dollars at nine six nine six.
What loyalty program are you kind of addicted to? The
more obscure, the.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
Better to Yes, ah, eb games, games, loyal jack.

Speaker 4 (56:40):

Speaker 1 (56:43):
What about people that might see their balance and they're like, oh,
three more points to something, so they're going specifically spend money. Well,
that's how they like the new or knives or the stickers,
that's how they get you. You do extra shopping because

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Get Angela. What points or loyalty programming you addicted to?

Speaker 8 (58:04):
First of all, I'm a longtime listener.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
First time called the bell, I will say, we've I
found another bell.

Speaker 4 (58:11):
No, don't come in here with you.

Speaker 7 (58:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (58:14):
That's what I'm gonna say.

the new bell, whereas the longtime listener bell beautiful bow,
the dirty bell. Oh no, different times, that might be
the KPI bell. Okay, yeah, fantastic, Angela, go ahead.

Speaker 8 (58:31):
So I am addicted to the Celtics petrel Oh okay,
So I just get forty dollars petrel at a time
and stack my points every time, and then you can
use it at the end of every second month. Right,
And they do like promo days like say you get
twelve feets off and on some weekends.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
So you plan your fuel consumption around accruing points right
to Celtics.

Speaker 8 (58:59):
Can you use how to go to Chouteu? But now
it's only Celtics right. But I normally saved like two
hundred and twenty odd cents plus off a full tank,
so you pay like fifty six dollars.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
For all Wow that fuel tank costs to fill without
any discounts, you normally.

Speaker 8 (59:15):
Save about one hundred and sixty seventy eighty.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
So you're like really working the points there. But is
that annoying?

Speaker 1 (59:21):
It sounds like you're going to servo like every two days.
That's annoying.

Speaker 8 (59:24):
Yeah it is, but it's worth it.

Speaker 4 (59:28):
I'd rather pay one hundred and fifty dollars ye, just ago
once a month.

Speaker 8 (59:32):

(01:02:35):
programs because they are a proof of purchase. Oh yees,
especially at clothing stores. It'll be you're loyalty program. You
purchase if you bring something back, and you don't always
have to keep the receipts. And then also they can
email you your receipt instead of printing out four meters
of that receipt paper.

It's fizzy drink week at Fact of the Day, and
today we're going to learn what country consumes the most
fizzy drink. The global carbonated beverage market size is estimated
at four hundred and forty two billion US dollars per year.
That's insane in twenty twenty two, and they think in
another in twenty thirty two it will we six hundred

(01:05:44):
and fifty four billion dollars. Because it's more about the
weird things if you go to third world countries, because
I'm saying the developing world will consume more fizzy.

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
Yeah, there's always fizzy. There's always fizzy.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Yeah, it's easy to get fizzy than it is to
get order. Yeah, in third world country, So okay, we'll
give us, give me a clue. Um, it turns out
they are also thirsty. Africa, no something number one. It
turns out they're also thirsty.

Speaker 4 (01:06:17):
I don't know. Just hungry Ethiopia.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
No, hungry, some poor country, No, no, no, no, thirsty
something hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungary, Hungary.

Speaker 4 (01:06:35):
Yeah, like Budapest.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
Three hundred and ten leaders per person is consumed per year. No,
that's in sa I know that's ridiculous, isn't it. Three
hundred and ten leaders per capita?

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
And what do you know? A leader went on in
the top ten as America in the top ten, it's
fourth place. One hundred and fifty four leaders per capita
of fizzy drink. It is consumed.

Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
Go through the top ten Treesky unexpectedly up there because
these guys are usually on the list of countries for happiness.
Norway really ninety eight leaders per person king the United
Kingdom one hundred and five liters per capita, one hundred
and five leaders per person per year. Eight is Uruguay

(01:07:27):
one hundred and thirteen Uruguay, don't tell anybody. Number seven
is Germany one hundred and twenty leaders. Yeah, Mexico. I
thought Mexico would have been up there per capita, but
I guess it's got a very large population. One hundred
and thirty seven leaders per capita, Chile one hundred and
forty one, the US one hundred and fifty four leaders,
Argentina one hundred who were the champions by the way,

(01:07:50):
were they one hundred and fifty five leaders per capita?
Belgium massive leap to two hundred and seventy two leaders
per capita, and Hungary three hundred and ten leaders per capita.

Speaker 4 (01:08:01):
So that's like a leader of a day per just
under a leader a day per person.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
Sure, the locals drink just over two leaders of soft
drink a day day. It's the highest concentration of one area.

every day two leaders a tree god yeah at the most. Ah.

In the minute you're of a forty some part of you,
he's got to give up. And from that it was
my back.

Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
I think it's like one of those what do they
call those pains that are due to that but somewhere differance.
It's like a nerve pain. Shoot, it shoots off somewhere else, ye,
and it goes down somewhere else. Okay, because I've got
into the back stretching and that pain has alleviated. And
then when the back gets tight the next day, that
feels tight again. So I feel like I've gone You're
working on your core.

I'll do more on my lower back.

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
Okay.

Yeah, so that's one thing. Then about three days ago
I woke up and I just I was like, well,
that's weird. I must have slipped on a clinched fist
and my drawer is sore only on one side.

Speaker 4 (01:11:33):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
Then yesterday I woke up and it was worse ye

And but then this morning I woke up. I could

like I'm not enunciating enough. And you told us you
don't want to laugh because it makes my mouth go
up and down. Job is to laugh out louder once
I know you imagine how bad I feel on the

(01:11:55):
vibe higher. Also, I should be leading the chuckles because

favorite things to do.

do a whole pack the next day. My gums, my jaws.
But like, ow, it's not that, it's not that, it's
not that I saw. I've never been punched in the face,
and don't take that as an invitation anyone.

Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
Yeah, you imagine that's what it feels like.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
But I've been donked over the back of the head,
so the whole dome isn't completely you know, I'm untarnished.
But but this is what I imagine it feels like
the day after you've been punched in the face. So
I come into work and I said, this jaw and
produce the shons like this.

Speaker 4 (01:12:39):
She dying tight mouth jaw, tight mouth, jaw, tender mouth jaw.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
No got it. That means she hasn't got rid of it.
So's yours.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
Because when you said TMJ, I looked at this acute
or the chronic. Yeah, I'm hoping for a cute because
I am cuty.

Speaker 4 (01:13:13):
You are cute, Yeah, that you do deserve the acute one.

Speaker 7 (01:13:17):
What is it?

Speaker 5 (01:13:18):
So basically, it's real common for women in their twenties,
So welcome to the club cut right, okay, But basically
I got it a few years ago when I was
quite sick and I was taking a lot of medication
and my jaw. Now this is the dramatic way to
put it in doctors, Please don't come for me.

Speaker 6 (01:13:34):
My jaw fell off. Its thing.

Speaker 4 (01:13:36):
It's hinge.

Speaker 7 (01:13:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:13:38):
If I opened my mouth too wide, it clicks off.
And I won't do it into the mic because that's
a lot. Okay, But basically I had to go to
the dentist and I have a splint and it's basically
a reverse mouthguard so at the top of your teeth
that it puts a big spacer. And I showed worn
a photo and I had to wear it for eighteen
hours a day.

Speaker 4 (01:13:56):
Oh my god, a few weeks and durable.

Speaker 5 (01:13:58):
Yeah, it got a lot better after that. And so
now if it's painful, I put the splint back in,
but it just clicks off. We know open my mouth
too wide, So I just can't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
I've always prided myself on having a big gaping mouthhole.

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
Like you know, I can I go up like a
snake and just shove a lot in and food. Yeah,
like I can do a whole custard square at one
sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
I can't. I can't even I can't even go and
but an apple I had to, like, I had to
eat an apple using my front teeth as a sort
of a grating.

Speaker 4 (01:14:30):
System on.

Speaker 3 (01:14:33):
Food.

Speaker 4 (01:14:33):
Mushle your food for a little bit.

Speaker 5 (01:14:35):
Well, I had to drink soap through a straw for
those few weeks. I can see if we have the
same sized teeth. If you want to try my splint.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
It doesn't seem like very different mouth doesn't seem like
something you would share with someone, like a moon like
a moon cup.

Speaker 4 (01:14:50):
Almost well, you wouldn't share a moon cup, would you, not?
Even after a thorough wash.

Speaker 6 (01:14:54):
We've got the same amount of teeth.

Speaker 4 (01:14:56):
I've got wisdom teeth same do you? Okay, maybe we
do this?

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
Why haven't you?

Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
Asked friend of the show, doctor Shawney. I don't like
to bother him.

Speaker 6 (01:15:04):
He's got doctor Shannon.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
He works doctor Shawn, who works three days a week.
He's very peddling snake oiling crystals.

Speaker 4 (01:15:11):
I darn't bother one of them. Very well deserved day off.

Speaker 6 (01:15:15):
I do have a bit of advice though.

Speaker 5 (01:15:17):
My dentist recommended that you massage gun the very top
of your spine.

Speaker 1 (01:15:22):
That doesn't sound Yeah, do you go to the dentist
or the doctor for the Swiss chain because I've got
a din this a woman in two weeks, but I
don't think I can wait bring it forward.

Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
My dentist sorted me out because I needed the splinter
and all that and maybe draw surgery. But you can
also get botox and like you and it, it's called
the track.

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
While you're there, they do that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
I remember a lot of dentists are branching into botox
for this reason because they've been grinding and the and
then while you're there, they just check a couple of
units in your throw brown. Okay, well, good lie on
messaging in.

Speaker 4 (01:16:02):
What are they saying?

Speaker 1 (01:16:03):
Yeah, I have TMJ interested to hear about this because
no one I found can help me. Oh, someone said
get a night guard. I can't afford it. I can't
afford someone to standing guard of me all, but I
would feel pretty good go to bed knowing that there
was a night like a red badge. Yeah, I more
likely what if.

Speaker 5 (01:16:22):
We got you like a mouthguard like Rugby and then
duct taped some cotton.

Speaker 4 (01:16:28):
Now anything, you're also not a real doctor?

Speaker 7 (01:16:33):
People?

Speaker 4 (01:16:33):
Are people agreeing with the diagnosis though? Yeah? Yeah, people
had somebody own that's so said.

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
I was dating a girl for ages and one day
I know where this is going and she said, I
can't do that because I've got TMJ. And it turns
out she didn't have TMJ. She just googled excuses to
get out of doing what I was quite.

Speaker 4 (01:16:51):
Care for how to do.

Speaker 6 (01:16:52):
Maybe that's why so many women in the twenties get.

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
J MS. Flinch vawn And this was a post on
Read yesterday with the headline kiwis aren't inviting? Now this
is I've heard this said by a lot of people
that move or immigrate.

Speaker 4 (01:17:13):
To Australia and wondering you shut up STI talking about
this is what it says.

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
I found New Zealanders to be clique and uninviting to
meet new people. I tried out court sports last week
that had mixed sexes and ages. The only person that
talked to me was the person that gave me the
club spear racket. I had to initiate conversations. No one
asked if i'd played before, I should squash. We're not
there to talk to you about your feelings. Trying to

(01:17:42):
chat club if you want a shit chat.

Speaker 4 (01:17:44):
And so it just goes on.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
It says, I'm in New Zealander and I disliked the
side of our culture where we're not actually friendly or inviting.
I I don't know why I'm so offended because I
don't talk. I don't go out of my way to
talk to people.

Speaker 4 (01:17:59):
Yeah, but that's this is their whole point is that
people don't want to talk to people. So the point
you want to talk to New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
This is the thing is that this is what people
are finding, they say they post continues. I work for
a company that employs hundreds of people, many of whom immigrants,
and they say the same thing. Seriously, kiwis how hard
is it to say hello to someone new or invite
a new employee to enjoy to you know, join going up.
What that saying is, when you move to New Zealand
and you're an imigrant, you have to wear a T

(01:18:27):
shirt that says I'm an immigrant.

Speaker 4 (01:18:29):
No, they're not saying that. They're not saying that. I
don't know who's an immigrant. We put up a question.

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
Box and it was insane. How many Kiwis you know
people that were born here and grew up here? Replied
to the saying the same thing. It is clique. It
is hard to make you if you moved from one
region of New Zealand to another, it's one hundred percent
like moving to different countries, one hundred percent.

Speaker 4 (01:18:49):
It's as hard it can be hard. Yeah, wow, totally.
But then I feel sometimes like now now, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:55):
It's just if you start talking to strangers, people just
kind of look at you, like, what what are you doing?
Like there's a bit of an eck there. They're just
like submissive. They might think you're creepy or something.

Speaker 4 (01:19:04):
Yeah, yeah, you know, like there's.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
That kind of culture where you if you start initiating it,
you must be maybe you're a creep.

Speaker 4 (01:19:10):
I don't know, it just yeah, it's just easy to
just keep to yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
Doesn't it help that when you do it, your hands
are down your pants. So that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:19:18):
I'd put them with a and my trench coat and
my trees. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Well new to
the country, are you? Keys? Are so cluque?

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
He went to LA for the first time this year
and made so many friends because people just start talking
and you're like okay, and then yeah, just start talking back.
I've been here for twelve years and my only friends
of people from where I of where I came from.
Here was a really friendly but really hard to take
to the.

Speaker 4 (01:19:42):
Next level of being friends with.

Speaker 1 (01:19:43):
Yeah, like people say, there's a superstiti not superstitious, a
superficial level of friendship, right, you know, like just enough
like pleasant trees and nice, but you know they're not
gonna invite you around horrendously. Clucky moved here twenty years ago.
Schoolmarms are the worst race. My friends are from overseas.
I don't every problem with the score mums that I
wasn't want to talk to me. Yeah, but you're the

(01:20:05):
hot damn hot dad. You're hot dad.

Speaker 4 (01:20:07):
Hey the cross to bear? Did that make you feel better?

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Yeah? While you're falling to bits, I'm falling and my
testicles and my drawer saw Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:20:14):
Both the ends of the both the ends of the hot.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
Data falling apart, ladies, Yeah, get in before there's nothing left.
We had some with us on Instagram. We had some
responses as well. You can still keep texting nine six
ninety six. Yeah, I might back in there. Yeah sure,
Debbie said, we're emigrating here, and still twenty years later,
I find hard to relate to New Zealanders. We start
talking to them and they just answered really shortly, yeah,

(01:20:38):
and don't keep the conversation going. Adam, this is one
hundred percent correct. When I moved from England, I was
shocked at how nobody talked to you. Natalie said, I
agree with this. I moved back to New Zealand thirteen
years ago, and after being an overseas so so long,
was really hard to make friends. Not all, but lots
of keys don't seem to be able to go beyond
a superficial friendship. What do you want from me?

Speaker 4 (01:21:00):
They want you to ask them how these days going?

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
Enough friends? I'm not auditioning for more friends. You've come
to the wrong guy.

Speaker 4 (01:21:09):
Yeah, as I think it's because Kiwis are just lazy friends.
It's how we like it. Maybe that's it. We're lazy,
lazy friends. We don't want it to be hard. Yeah,
I agree, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:21:21):
Want high maintenance. My friend friends are lazy friends. We're
lazy friends, great friends and true lazy friends. You mean
someone yesterday and I haven't spoken to them, I would
imagine in five months. Yeah, And I was just like,
I want I want to have a message straight back back,
three three messages each day. I like those friends year
you can't chat with you haven't seen them, maybe before
even a year or two sometimes. Yeah. And it's just like,

(01:21:42):
and I've talked about the fact my favorite friends to
hang out with her women, you can sit there for
an hour and no one needs to say anything. You
just look at something, well, think about something or watching something,
and you're just like, after a while, you're just like, yeah,
this is the good stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:21:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:53):
I moved forty minutes from my hometown to move in
with my partner. I'd started meeting his friends and their partners,
and the partner told me they didn't need any more
friends because they had enough friends.

Speaker 4 (01:22:04):

back and I'm still struggling for new friends. Yeah it's
not good. Eh.

Speaker 4 (01:22:25):
I literally friend every waif and stray.

Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
They always say I'm an epic connector the more of
the merry, I say, keey, born and bred.

Speaker 4 (01:22:34):
