Good Morning PLEACHVRN and Haley new Zerborn about the changes
to the New Zealand airpoints program.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah what are you? You're a silver? Are you still
going to be a silver? No?

Speaker 4 (00:20):
No, get knocked down a tear.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I don't, I don't. I'm unfamiliar as a man.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Who's you know, still dizzying at the elevation to silver.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I don't know what I know.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
You might actually drop down to bronze. He's going to
be bronze. It's going to go bron Why are they

Speaker 5 (00:43):
So close to elite, I'm a number of a couple
of flights away.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
She's flying around the country for a.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Week, getting off of her elite perch.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Well, she's a neippo. She's a neo elite because of
the boyfriend. But you know, the boyfriend's going to get
Corey Black CODU black and she'll be that.

Speaker 4 (01:03):

Speaker 2 (01:05):
You can get that?

Speaker 6 (01:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Can you'll be Yeah? You bowed your friends and family
on that. Oh well, what changes? Nothing? Nothing, really nothing.
The world goes.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
On, keeps turning, keeps burning.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
And yeah, the top six on the way with everything
so expensive.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Especially dairy.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, I've got the top six recipes, classic recipes that
you can make that don't need milk, cheese, or butter,
because that's all gone up again, that's gone exponentially, which
is weird because we kind of make so much of it.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's weird. It's all made here, but we it's a.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Hard pill to swallow and we can't afford to hide
the pill in the cheese.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Next on the show, though.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
Black Friday sales have already started. Actually love this, Yes,
so prepare for me to be sort of churned out
for a lot of the show.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
It's so as an online shop, but I'm.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
Going to give you some thanks to look out for
because some of these sales are a little bit dodgy.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yes, sometimes you're not getting a good deal, not at all.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Fleschrn and Hailey Big Pod the what.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Would it be in New Zealand?

Speaker 5 (02:20):
The consumers consumers people, Yeah, consumers in New Zealand, consumers
use in ze yep, I'm sure they'll be keeping an
eye out for this, as global equivalents of those are
for Black Friday sales taken the perse basically, so Black
Friday actually falls on the twenty eighth of November. Black Friday, Yes,

(02:43):
And it used to be in the US because it's
all about Thanksgiving. Used to be that it was just
this one day, our Friday, and they have these sales
and people go crazy on Black Friday. And now it's
literally weeks long and globally even though we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, like,
we haven't always had it right, we haven't always been
into it.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Now, I feel like the Internet did it to us.
Of the internet, Yeah, yeh, because it's spread these American ideals,
these capitalism, capitalistically driven sales. Because it's like Thanksgivings over
next up Christmas, the America Thanksgivings, the big family one eight.
Lots of people go home for Thanksgiving, but don't all

(03:25):
go home for Christmas year, which is weird. Yeah, so
that's the way that there's so the Christmas is much
more about presents.

Speaker 5 (03:32):
Yeah, thanks I've celebrated Thanksgiving once when I was in
Oman and my friend was American.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
And we did a Thanksgiving thing it was nice.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
So I do I know what the dealers with Consumer
and Z Is it a government department?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
So I googled.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
It was established in nineteen fifty nine to promote the
interests of consumers.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's a not for profit charity. Yeah, it's not. It's
not a government organization.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
So just look at us after anyone like the government
or anyone that's so. Then, following the establishment in the
Ministry of Consumer Affairs is in nineteen eighty six, the
institute lost a special legal protection and government funding, and
nineteen eighty nine it became an incorporated society funded by
the members subscriptions.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
In two thousand and seven it's renamed Consumer and It's
it is. I didn't know this.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
They will be responsible, I guess. For if you are
suspicious that a company is taking the purse and using
deception and misleading tactics for Black Friday sales, the O
the people that will, I guess look out for it.
But here is a list of some ways that maybe

(04:32):
your Black Friday sale is a little bit dodgy, okay
and not so honest, claiming store wide sales like store
fifty percent off store wide, and it's like little asterisks
unless it's new and actually like caught the cool stuff
and not and not Lotto tickets. H get a Black
Friday and a Lotto fifty lot of tech out some

(04:54):
half pros Lotto tickets or something that would be nice.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, nine bucks, Well it'll be like all not Apple products, yeah,
or any you know something like that.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I always go to price by Yees. Yeah, it's that's
a good one.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
And you can search for the product you want and
it'll show you a graph of the price over the
last six months or a year.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
So this is the other one to look out for.
Hang on, did it fake price comparisons? So saying forty
percent off when actually a week or so before they've
hiked the price even off or y Yeah, they know
that this is coming by the long game.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, they put it.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Up, creep it up, you don't even notice.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
And then they say thirty percent off, We're back to
the original price.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
We're going shot thirty percent off for that shirt.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
I'll get it, but you're actually just paying what they
need it to be worth. You count don countdown timers
that falsely imploy limited time, like buy now.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I always want to when it's like three people are
looking at this, Jill purchased.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
The nine people have this in their cart.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Shape print exclusions that contradict the headline sale up to
up to seventy percent off, but that's on four items
and everything else to swing that lured you into the sale.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
And now now I'm here, you want to watch you
up to seventies and also you're up to g's.

Speaker 5 (06:15):
Up too, just like up to yeah, midnight, come in
quite late at night. So lots of retailers have been
fined around the world for doing this because actually it's
it's deception, like you're not supposed to do this.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
I feel like, if you've got your eye on something,
you know, if the price is good or not right, Well,
things are.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Only worth what you're willing to pay for them.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
That's true.

Speaker 7 (06:39):
You know.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Wow, Wow, that's deep man, that it's buy it.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
It's like, let when you go to the markets, but
when you're overseas and you're like, I'm not paying two
dollars more? Oh, hag on, It's like, are you happy
with the price? Yeah, if you're willing to pay for it,
that's what it's worth to you.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Look out, Yeah, because the black Sail Black Friday sales
are everywhere.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Already started now and they'll be going for probably all
bloody months.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Does that end podcast Network Born?

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yes, your suburb is in the news again. This is
QM Northwest Auckland. Yes, Rodney. Technically we're in the Rodney district.
That's why we can buy birds at the supermarket. But
now this is the ongoing saga, this news headline. We
may have even talked about this in twenty twenty or

(07:31):
twenty twenty three. It's been going that long headline. Thrupples
multi million dollar property divided by court after six year dispute.
But saga may not be over. Yeah, I remember this.
This has been going on for ages. This was first
like COVID COVID years. Yeah, this was first in the news.
And people love this story. It's like you can find

(07:52):
a story like on websites overseas, like the Daily Mail
and stuff.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
People just get so curious about any kind of other
relationship structure than heterosexual, yes, monogamous coupling.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
So this is what the story is.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
A former thruple must split a farm three ways, a
judge has ruled in the latest stage of what's been
a lengthy legal battle over a multimillion dollar property that
the trio jointly owned.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
This is stuff from the straightforward.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
How has this taken so long?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I guess, like any relationship separation, it's reason.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
No, it's it's all.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
It was all like the Family Court were like, three,
I don't know, three what man, I don't.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Know, what do you want from me?

Speaker 3 (08:36):
And then the High Court was like and so it
just kind of got the more mountains must have spent
on lawyers.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Three people.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Lawyers just must be like, wow, this is going to
be a hard one. Well, that's one of they say.
It may not be over because there may be some appeals.
There may be an appeal which would make it drag on, even.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
As one of the you know, one or two of
the three being like no, maybe even.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Split maybe because maybe I don't know, but I don't know.
Isn't if you owned it, if you co owned. But
that's normally two people, Hayley, No.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
I've had friends who have bought houses together as friends,
multiple people on the mortgage.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Really, but it's different. That's different. You would have an
agreement like your lawyers, wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
You wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yeah, they had lawyers involved in the sign.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Your bank wouldn't let you do it without some some
water tight what would you do? They'd break up if
they decide to sell such two women and a man
that lived together in a polyamorous relationship, and they lived
together for about fifteen years in the property and QMU.
After the relationship ended, they turned to the Family Court
to determine how the property should be divided.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
So, okay, okay, do you know if this is interesting?
Because we're at we're in a day and age where
this will probably become far more common. As a society,
we are more open minded two different relationship structures than
just two.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Here, just that the law hasn't caught up with law
hasn't caught up in modern times.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Because also and.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
If if it was just two of them, then the
then the basic version of it would be a fifty
to fifty split.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
So this is just a thirty three point thirty three
percent more, but sometimes people want more. Yeah, no, I
know because.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Of three percent recurring.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
The Family Court said initially said it didn't have jurisdiction
as the High Court, but the Court of Appeal overturned
that ruling, finding the Family Court could determine claims regarding
polyamorous relationship and the same way it determined claims for
those that were married or de fact Mormons do it.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, I think maybe it's trying to reach out to
the Mormons, might have to.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
Reach out to the moments. Got that massive church in
south Auckland.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, chuck a little good.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
That's joey enormous and Hattie. If it looks like it's
part of rambos En, it looks like Garish. It's so
Garabe go in for the haunted house. Yeah, you go
under the ground and by the log flow.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
You have not been to Auckland recently.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
When you're coming in from the airport into town on
the right, this huge.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
I wouldn't take that away if we're just talking about
ways to get from the airport to how I'm going
to Southwestern.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Oh yeah, I would have turned off the yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
But if you're coming in from Hamilton and your Hamilton

you're crazy. Second of all, it's on there on the right.

Hacker right, you won't miss it.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's bright white.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, up high Garish old.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
They've got a lot of money kicking around for Jesus.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
A lot of money in Jesus, there's a lot of
a lot of money. Almost thinking about selling a church. Well,
immediately there goes your text. Yeah, we could make this
show sort of a church organization and we preach thinking
about also selling some breakfast cereals and not paying tax
on the profits. That works because it's technically owned by
the church. Yeah, if we the new church will find

(12:02):
a cool name. Yeah, the new church sounds really good.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
The new church. It's kind of like people like it
because it's new.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yea new church also decide to do some sort of
grain based cereal.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
It's the church gives the churches making it, but we're
the church that we're giving them.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
This is the fact.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
Get why they do it?

Speaker 3 (12:24):

is the top six. Well, I mean food, that's an
expensive thing, but we need it, don't we.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, Well, milk go along without it.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Milk and cheese prices sore as power prices continue climb.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Power prices is that the problem.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
You've got to have the power to the power to
make the milk the cows first of all, to get
the milk out of the cows.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Use my milk, milk melt.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
That's free, that's free power.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
That's free milk.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
And then you know you've got to transport it the factory,
the whole process, the homogenization, of the pasteurization, everything that
so power doesn't it. In the last twelve months, milk
has gone up thirteen point five percent, Cheese has gone
up thirty point one percent, that's to.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Your average of a block a cag blot.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Fresh eggs have gone up eighteen point five percent, and

Well, I'm trying to save monem and personal recession and yeah,
still it's dragon, it's dragon. But I won't I won't money,
but I'm not gonna print my way out of this recession. Okay,
that will just lead to rubber inflation upcoming festive season. Yeah,
I've got some recipes that you can make that have
always heavily relied on milk, butter and cheese.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Without the milk butter and cheese, that still works.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Number If you've always loved mac and cheese, you are
not going to love as much Mac. Just macarona, just macaroni.
It's just mac. What is it still cooked or it's boiled?
It's boiled, okay, but then when you finished, you just
kind of drain the water if let it cool, and
then eat the seat the stodgy mass.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
So it's just mac.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Maybe, but some bacon, and can I get a price?
Heck on bacon, man, bacon's expensive. You cancel the bacon
that's gone to cancel the bacon. Maybe some shaved hand shaved, maybe.

Speaker 5 (14:59):
Some shaved hand, maybe the same.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Just get ready for macpi great saving many Number five
and the last of the top six recipes that have
always heavily relied on dairy that actually don't need them.
If you've always loved buttered chicken, love, but you are
gonna love chicken.

It gets a bit much of that. The butter.

Speaker 3 (15:27):

some crape butter crame.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
So we're not having any of that. Chicken and tomatoes, oil.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Chicken breast, And to be honest, we're probably just gonna
get a bachelor's handbag because I don't know how a
fully cooked chicken is cheaper than the chicken I know
they cooking for you, and it's still cheaper than a
standard you know, roast chick that hasn't been and it's
got stuffing.

Speaker 2 (15:52):

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Grilled sandwich.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Okay, grilled sandwiches.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Bad news is butter's expensive, so we can't put butter
on the outside.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
No fritzing sunflow oil.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Oh have you ever put de jaonnaise on the outside
of a toasted sandwich?

Speaker 2 (16:46):
No mayonnaise?

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah, so it's like that, except it's got the Dijon
mustard and the mayonnaise and it caramelizes up.

Speaker 5 (16:54):
It slaps me in my mouth. It slaps in my
mouth immediately, immediately.

Number two on the last of the top sex recipes
that don't actually need milk, butter and cheese. If you're
trying to do it on a budget, you guys, I
don't know about you. I love cheesecake, yeah, and I'd
like to introduce you to cake. It's not as good
what's in the cake though, because you need butter.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
No, sometimes you can replace it with sunflower oil.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
To be fair, I made a chocolate cake with my
daughter and used olive oil. In charge of price, chicken
olive oil extraversion, you.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Try to do it cheaper.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
We didn't try to do it cheap, and we just
wanted to moistless cake OILBT for the recipe for the
moists chocolate cake you can possibly make and this is
what it offered me up, so you could use an
olive oil.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
But as you say, price and number one of.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
The last of the top six recipes that don't actually
need milk, butter and cheese. If you try hard enough?
Are you guys like a little bit as simple? But
it's a classic of bread and butter pudding.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
I loved, but I had one last week. Well you
are gonna love bread. It is carving you up. I've
told her off.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
She has been. She has been properly told.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Is that why last night was the salad?

Speaker 4 (18:41):
I said, I cannot keep doing that.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
It was a salad followed by icing sugar, dowsed icing
sugar and quantro, dowst strawberries and fanol ice cream from
the freezer.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
I was just saying last week, and there's nothing better
than just when strawberries are in season, a little icing sugar,
some vanilla ice cream.

Speaker 5 (19:02):
A shot of Quantro in the bowl and it makes
the icing sugar into like a coating.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Oh my god, I really like the sound of that. Well, no, no,
don't start it.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
I can't help myself. I know I can help myself.
I prepare for an absolute blowout.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Is today's Upsex?

Speaker 7 (19:24):
Does that?

Speaker 1 (19:25):
M podcast? Needwork Plays?

Speaker 5 (19:30):
Companies across New Zealand increasingly using AI to write.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Their performance reviews.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
A lot of companies actually giving it the a OK,
saying like you know it's not just managers doing this
secretly up high.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
They're saying, yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
You can use it to sort of draft things and
da dah da da, but you can't use it to
assign scores, determine pay, or make promotion decisions.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Should Fletch get a promotion? AI over to you? Yeah,
over to you.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
The same potential benefits saving people time, reducing a traditionally
dreaded task of the end of view performance review, how
to produce more comprehensive, consistent feedback.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
But I'm not really into it.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
I'm just think feel free to give me a human
response anyway. I've actually done Ross Boss a solid and
I've done the performance reviews for Fletch and Vaughn for
the end of the year.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
We're at November.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
How many companies that, like big proper companies are getting.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
JP Morgan, that's so many to do. It's a time saver.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
It's not determining your it's not determining your pay or anything.
It's just kind of like surmising it. And then you
doual like AI like does it know how.

Speaker 7 (20:40):
You do it?

Speaker 2 (20:40):
And they call it.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
They're calling it AI work slop, shallow, generic, inaccurate.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
It is shallow. I'll show you in a second.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
Employees then distrust the feedback if we know, because we're like,
you're not even reflecting me, you're just actually, you know,
the computer's done.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
If you like work, output is if you're able to
analyze that, like if you work in like banking or whatever.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Or sales or radio.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Shall we see performance review? Carl Fletcher twenty twenty five.
I've put in two sentences of information?

Carl continues to be a highly reliable and technically skilled
anchor for the Zitiing Breakfast Show. His ability to push
buttons and keep the program running smoothly en shures the
team stays on track and the show maintains its fast,
energitic pace. It's known for providing strong support to his
co host Hailey Spell and Vorn Smith, how being create
a collaborative and positive on aerodynamic However.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Oh no, I was gonna say this has got paryarise written. All.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
While his professionalism is evident, there is occasional room for improvement,
particularly when it comes to keeping his musually eating zone
tidy and at times stepping up his on ear wardrobe choices. Overall,
Carl is an essential part of the show, successful consistency, humor,
genuine here to the studio.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Each day he got four T shirts. Why would anyone need?
Why would anyone shirt? Maybe five T shirts? So's every week?
So I do one more T shirt. I'll get you
another T shirt. Performance review Vaughan Smith.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Here we go late this morning? Slept in? Did you
put that down?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
I didn't? Forgot to set his alarm? Can you No?
I set my alarm and when it went off, I
went to breast snooze, but my alarm. I'm by the way.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
I'm just I just say, shread lightly, I'm fragile. Tread
lightly on your performance.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
Review or to Live with Smith twenty twenty five.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Vaughn continues to be a standout presence of the Zeni earwaves,
reliably bringing joy, laughter, and a much needed lift to listeners.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Even on his toughest days.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Has quick wood and steady supply of bizarre yet fascinating
facts remained.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
A core strength of the show.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
In the studio, his enthusiasm is infectious, though sometimes a
company by a less than ideal side effect, such as
bananas so overright they qualify as biological weapons, and a
rotation of T shirts that challenge both color theory and
common sense.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
I mentioned one poor T shirt what.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
This morning's accidental sleeping was a slight They can't but
one delivered with his signature charm and promptly forgiven by
all quirks. Aside, Vaughan remains a funny, engaging and highly
valued member of the team as human authentiticity a key
elements to the show success, and the atmosphere simply would
not be the same without.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Oh, that's a game, I'm sticking around. I'll hang around.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
You would accept that.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
I'm taking the rest of the day, but I will
see it.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
And that today he'll be knocking off early. Carl and
Hailey disapprove. To see how they'll add that. In updated
version d D Infection considered this morning's excidentual sleeping added
to the chaos, and today he'll be knocking off early,

(23:44):
much to the visible disapproval of Carl and Hailey, who
were already drafting their strongly worded eye rolls.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
See now it's gone.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Jovial for a harder one.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
It'll do whatever you take. Currently, I'm working out a
five night meal plan. I've told them what options I've gone.

wasn't a quantictionary dot com and it was six seven
sixty seven.

Yeah, I regret irish two minutes.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
To seven, doesn't it doesn't just two minutes to servant?

Speaker 7 (25:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Paras social as the Cambridge Dictionary of the word this
year social relationship parasocial relationship defines a relationship out by
someone between themselves and a famous person they do not know. Okay,
Taylor Swift's a great example. People thinking they've got a
sort of an inn and should be entitled to know
everything about a relationship.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah, all that bad jazz.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
The turnback dates back to nineteen fifty six, when American
sociologists observed TV viewers engaging in parasocial relationships with on
screen personalities.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
And of course the TV shows now are so.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Much more involved in the personal side of people's life,
and they like they're living with the Cardassian.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
They have more access to celebrities, don't they. They follow them
on social The celebrities are always posting Yeah only fans.

Speaker 2 (25:56):

Here? Are social When like these people get arrested for
stalking their house, that's.

Just psych stalker.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
One of the main characteristics, right, is that it's one sided,
so late never they ever like the celebrity or whoever
is not even.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Aware that you exist.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
But you're in this deep, deep relationship with them.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
So willing to pay thousands of dollars to see them

that you'd look up on Urban Dictionary.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
I think bird dogging meaning political activism where activists repeatedly
question officials to force them on to record.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay, like pushing them.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
It's not as six y as I thought.

Go to sometime in the boost you to get this water?

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Why one day sort of a pause before we I
like it. One day we'll record it. Shannon joins us,
good morning, I believe a travel hack.

Speaker 10 (28:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (28:30):
If there's one thing I know about Flitch, it's that
he loves traveling.

Speaker 12 (28:34):
And he loves to save money. I guess there's two things.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Sure. I love that.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah. I was being mocked yesterday while you guys are
at my house because I had already started chucking stuff
on the spear beer of stuff I'm going to take
on holiday leave.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
It's a pack.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, he's a month.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Something. I just chuck it and then I'm like, I'll
need that otherwise I'll be somewhere.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
And be I've forgotten that thing again. That's crazy.

Speaker 11 (28:55):
Man, Well, I've got a hack for you for when
you're traveling and you don't want to spend extra money
on baggage.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
I don't want to spend extra money anywhere.

Speaker 12 (29:02):
Exactly, Hayley.

Speaker 11 (29:04):
Now, Flitch, you and I actually share the same chest
size measurements wise.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Knockers I do.

Speaker 12 (29:14):
We both have the exact same chests.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
We have mentioned that you've got the same size as
and the trades following you to so many truck drivers
follow me when I talk about my giant knockers.

Speaker 12 (29:24):
Exactly.

Speaker 11 (29:25):
We weren't measuring you for a photo shoot and I went,
that's my size, and then to the sinimeter we.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Met, we're exactly the same chest size.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
I mean, it's just I will just say it is
distributed slightly differently.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
A little bit just narrower.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
But as the honkers, you're broader. But I'll say, anybody,
teddy committee.

Speaker 12 (29:42):
Oh, we've got a hack and I can help you
with this, Flitch.

Speaker 11 (29:44):
Okay, So instead of paying for extra baggage, what I
want you to do is grab a bra that would
have a larger cup.

Speaker 12 (29:51):
Than you do.

Speaker 11 (29:51):
So Flitch, I can give you one of my brass
and then I want you to shove and some extra.

Speaker 12 (29:57):
We could put a tea in there.

Speaker 11 (29:58):
We could put some single under you just shoved them
in there, and then a nice baggy tea on top
for the flight.

Speaker 12 (30:06):
But we've got some extra.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
I've got quite big boobs is of late, so I've
got to get like a G cup.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
You can do that and then fill that with stuff.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
And they're going to have such sweaty nut and lungers.
I don't want to start picking holes in this already.
But you're filling the boob the bra with light items
anyway that don't weigh anything space and don't take up
that and don't.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Take up that much. You could work out how to
get a pair of boots.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
There are jeans in there, yeah.

Speaker 12 (30:35):
Strap the jeans around. You could go full diameter.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
But you're just now you're just wrapping clothes on you.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
This is the exact same thing.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
It's just weiring everything.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
I don't want to accuse Shennon of plagiarism, but I
did come to the show many years ago with the
fishing best hack for travel actually, and that is far
more uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
I knew when Shannon said its a tree.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Heck, I was like, this is gonna be hard to
appress slitch because he's probably he's probably algorithm. This is algorithms.
You can't turn up at a foreign airport with boobs.
You can, you'll get you'll get looked at and searched.

Speaker 13 (31:13):
No, if you have a bagging enough T shirt, you
might just look like a bigger person.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
So I think we're in a modern day and age,
and you'd think that.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
A progressive, welcoming country like your fri France, your Germany,
or you're going to like one of those, you know,
quite bad nations where they're regressing through time, like Saudi
Arabia or the United States of America.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Yeah, you're heading. Yeah, what are you supposed to be?

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Look, I'll give it a no, give it a one.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
No, No, it's alms because you're you do this way
better by either just wearing all your jackets or by
the fishing fist.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
Hack that we are years ago.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
We're just doing what Vaughden does and taking three checked
bags on and then just ramming them in somewhere.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Yeah, it's a white privilege.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, okay, one star from me, Haley.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Someone messaging it.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
Can we at least make an effort, Shannon, This is
an effort. What how are we going when we're going
through security, they're gonna love us.

Speaker 11 (32:17):
Yeah, yeah, there's a legal heck yeah there's not. Also,
security doesn't care about this stuff. The airline cares. Security
will be like, good on you take.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
A pillow, take a pillow on the plane, but instead
put clothes in it.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Yeah, I stop the music. I'm going back to play
the one star, one star for you.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Yeah, okay, there we go.

Speaker 9 (32:40):
If you see a spade and sign at the side
of the road that says one star today for she.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Had one star baby. Yeah. Not not your work, not
your work, but at.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
Least it's one least it's not taping pads to your
feet so that you don't get fleets foot in the
Jim showers.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
You know, lest we forget.

Speaker 8 (33:04):
Does that M podcast network play z m's flesh Worn
and Hailey.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
Silly little pools?

Speaker 14 (33:15):
It is so silly, silly, silly, that little pool, silly,
little silly, little silly.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Today's silly little polos All thanks to Metcalfe.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Keep your morning rolling with great coffee.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
And the question is in theory and they hypothetically speaking,
would you date a hypnotist or is that a deal breaker.
It's come out that Jennifer Anderson's Jennifer Anderson's Aniston Anderson.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
It's pronounced an Well. Her new boyfriend is.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
His name is Jim Curtis. He's a wellness coach and hypnotist.
So he's less click your fingers now you're a chicken.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
He's more like every time you see a muffin, imagine
it's like it's a spew.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Yeah, so that you don't do that or like overcoming.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Fears muffin break a bit traumatic and more like just
a glass case of small spew buckets.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
And then she hard launched him on his socials. She
did a soft.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
Launch, and then she did a rock hard one. And now, yeah,
it's official. She is dating this hypnotist. Could you trust
a hypnotist? No, he's going to mentalize this. We say
to Shannon all the time, are we sure that you're
was it?

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Husband? He's a magician. Does he do hypnosis as well?

Speaker 11 (34:42):
He does mentalism where they kind of.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Have a couple of spells of mentalism. Awak, have a
crying and drink and get that out of the way.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
Yeah, that's a breakdown.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Hold, yeah, it was a scientific name for a mental break.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
No different.

Speaker 11 (34:58):
Yeah, when he's on a cruiseal he does one magic show,
one mentalism show generally, so he's a bit of both.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Okay, like kind of mind reading and planting ideas and
knowing what people are going to say.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Okay, we're in a safe space. But if you ever
asked your boyfriend to do the dishes and all of
a sudden you're doing that.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
You're doing this, how the hell did I get here?

Speaker 11 (35:17):
But they say it's through interesting with mentalism and hypnosis
and stuff. The more you know someone, the easier it
is to be conditioned. So like, because I hear his
voice every day and because I trust him, if he
was to try hypnotize me, I'd go.

Speaker 12 (35:28):
Like instantly, my wow, And it's a whole thing.

Speaker 11 (35:32):
And so like real hypnotists, they have to meet you
a lot and talk to you a lot before you
can actually do the whole.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
In the radio on the radio shows over the years
and yeah, it is he I remember one of them
telling us it's very hard for radio people to be
hypnotized because they're on and they're on the radio, they're
not comfortable and you don't know.

Speaker 11 (35:52):
It's performing you have to know the voice and trust it.
So I would be really susceptible to being hypnotized by
my partner, but probably no one else.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Is something we need to look into. I do not
like it.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
You're hypnotized. I like it maybe okay, yeah, I kind
of like just not knowing.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah, anyway, my thoughts on my own.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
What were the pole results? Wow, we are in theory?
Would you date of a hypnotist? Seventy one percent of
people said no, percent said yes, giant red flag, isn't
it a little bit? Teagan said no, purely because I
don't believe in it, so it wouldn't be fair on that.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
I never did.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
But then when we had people hypnotize on the radio
show and you see it, you're like, oh my.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Not believe in it, like it's real or fake. It's
just a manipulation of people.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
But it is.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Some people are more susceptible to it than others. And
one hundred percent of thing, yeah, yeah, that is the thing.
People aren't getting it like they do live shows. People
get up on stage not acting. I've been hypnotized once.

Speaker 5 (36:53):
It didn't really work because I can't I still can't
say the word mot h. But I got hypnotism for phobia,
oh fear phobia.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Ah, I don't.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Angela's messages and my say my first boyfriend was studying
to be a hypnotist and he cheated on earth my
best friend.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Now, I don't know if that's a that's you remember?

Speaker 3 (37:15):
I didn't, so I learned MYIAID you know what She's
been through some hardships, She's she can win the I
love that met Cafe fifty dollars out you as yours.
Angela well done and other.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Angela says you just can't trust them though, can you?

Speaker 5 (37:30):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Chris said, not interested in seeing videos of me clucking
on stage? Plus, get a real job. Who's heard of
a legitimate of legitimate hypnosis. I thought it was recognized
as well it smoking and eating and controlling urges, and
it is.

Speaker 5 (37:44):
And also unlocking like trauma and everything. There's lots of
people that use it to open your mind to memories
that you might have forgotten.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Kathy said, I have trust is shoes as you. Kathy
ban Wow said, they have trust their shoes as it is.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Abby.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
I do I really like them or have they made
me like them? I'd be sick and guessing myself the
whole time. Yeah, it's not gonna work for you, then, Penny,
I'm married to someone who used to be a hypnotist
full time. He's since become a cyber security engineer. He
recognized me, he reckons. He hypnotized me to quit smoking.
I've been smoked free for ten years, so it seems
to have worked. Even if she, like Haley and loves

(38:18):
a party Dart. Yeah, no part of account, though I
haven't had a report of a party Dart.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
And she said smoke free right, not smoke part time okay.
Dana said absolutely what I hurt. I'd actually go out
of my way to data hypnotists. That sounds like fun. Really,
I don't know what data fions of that. Jon's loving
that one, Shannon's love it isn't another hypnotism kink.

Speaker 11 (38:38):
There's something so beautiful about being a wag to a
magician or a beautiful n I get to have so
many fun things in my.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Apartment except for your boyfriend.

Speaker 11 (38:52):
Yeah, he's hardly there, but no, it is really fun
and there is a real community of the wags, like
we all.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Don't know how the wives of some people are like,
please don't call me a wag more than just a
partner of a sports person.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
She is like, yeah, I'm aware, waged me up.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
Your best friends with that girl that gets cut on
half a.

Speaker 12 (39:10):
I'm friends with the girls who get cut in half.

Speaker 5 (39:12):
Yeah, no, you're, but not the face, just the lead girl.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Yeah, you wouldn't know anyway, so it doesn't really matter
if you would or wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
That's a great point, You wouldn't know.

Speaker 5 (39:27):
Sort of a blissful ignorance.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
Yeah, Casey said my life's already a dump defie and
put an extra twist to it. Wow, okay, see Asia,
it wouldn't put me off as long as he didn't
make it this whole personality. I would be came for
some free hitting therapy to get rid of my fear
of spiders. He could take you with that and while
you're under make you into some other stuff too.

Speaker 11 (39:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Yeah, like see his and be like whoa, Yeah that's perfect.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
Yeah, what are these other people on about saying that's teenage?

Speaker 2 (40:00):

Speaker 3 (40:02):
Dana said, yes, please and hypnotize me to stop wanting
Little Midnight's next next and make me want to go
to the gym please, so that everyone's using this boyfriend
to their advantage. So for silling a little poll today,
we said would you add a hypnotist? And seventy one
percent of you said no, I would not.

part two was out tomorrow officially for general consumptions, you know,
for cities like yourself, but the Girlies produced girls Cowen
and Shannon were privy to the premiere on Monday night.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
It must be nice.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Yeah, you've got photos.

Speaker 12 (41:34):
It was Ozma Politan themed, so.

Speaker 11 (41:37):
That's a cocktails influencers were there and we were all
at our best of Zimpic Chic.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 5 (41:50):
Very anticipated this film because the first one was such success.

Speaker 11 (41:54):
We were so excited. It's a lot shorter than part one.
I'll let everyone know.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Because how long was the first one?

Speaker 11 (41:59):
Three This one is two hours nineteen so quite a
bit shorter, okay, which reflects this obviously the theater show,
because a second half is always a little bit shorter.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
I hear that.

Speaker 5 (42:11):
Of course, that's that's the key to a good theater show,
if you made the second half longer.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
We're a bit passed off at that point.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
I hear.

Speaker 5 (42:17):
There's a bit of uproar because Wicked for Good leaves
out a song that was very famous in the musical,
and they've added original songs that give you a little
bit of content. I'll pause again when the big note
comes fly. Anyway, so making Good is cut, which was

(42:44):
a song from the original Broadway musical, and then they've
put in new songs that give you a bit of
context about their life. Yeah, so Glinda has hers instantly
two carry on, So Glinda has her own song about
you know what she's feeling. But obviously in the original

(43:05):
theater show we don't see a lot of Glinda. In
the second act, she's definitely more prominent and I.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Don't know's character. Yes, I don't know if that is
big Glinda accent.

Speaker 4 (43:26):
They can't carry on?

Speaker 2 (43:28):
She does have one.

Speaker 5 (43:31):
Yeah, sorry, we're just st of have to hit the
final big note and then we can carry on.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Best one.

Speaker 4 (43:37):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
How does it not move you?

Speaker 11 (43:49):
I have to say some of the vocals in part
two I found stronger than part one, which.

Speaker 12 (43:54):
Is like crazy because Part one was incredible.

Speaker 11 (43:57):
But during some of those big belting moments, I genuinely
had goose bumps.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
I feel like you could cry, Yeah you will you.

Speaker 5 (44:04):
I wept in the first one, and I'm a musical
theater girl.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
It just moves you.

Speaker 4 (44:08):
Look at my goosey skin like it's just beautiful.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
But is that your staff infection?

Speaker 13 (44:16):
It is also a very beautiful message of like two
people who are not people that would like associate usually
I guess coming together, finding common ground and just becoming friends.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
But then it doesn't. The house fall on one of them.
It's a different story.

Speaker 13 (44:30):
Listen, Okay, this is what I had to explain to
my partner. They run concurrently technically, what.

Speaker 5 (44:36):
Is side by side storylines? But they're not intertwining.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Isn't the greenwich that you see Dorothy?

Speaker 12 (44:45):
But she's not a plot line?

Speaker 11 (44:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (44:47):
Yeah, Wait, what are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (44:48):
Because Dorothy is from the human Dorothy's in the second movie.

Speaker 12 (44:52):
Yeah, but she's not like a plot line.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
But she's there.

Speaker 13 (44:55):
You see her visually, but you don't see who she is.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
She doesn't speak. It's not you're not not only a timeline.
Is there a road? And is it yellow? There's a
yellow in this one?

Speaker 11 (45:07):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Yeah? You beckon? Oh my god, mine? So wait on?

We're not we're not talking about plex.

Speaker 5 (45:40):
We don't promote the plexy.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Okay, but what do you give it? Out of five? Five?

Speaker 4 (45:48):

Speaker 12 (45:49):

Speaker 5 (46:09):
What does think Rock to Moss Rot to Mots for
a rating?

Speaker 2 (46:14):
I love a Rock to Mots rating.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
And then you've got to tell me the metacritics score
versus the audience, because sometimes the critics.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Get a bit.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Yeah, they do enjoy something. Find it quite a lot,
isn't it. Somebody said, I watched the Wicked preview last night.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
It was a few shocks short of torture. What does
that mean?

Speaker 5 (46:36):
It means that they've got a bad added choose and
no good past and.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
To the premier.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Okay, so all right, so they've got on rot Tom's
what is Braddy Tom? Rodney Tom's? Yeah, so one more,
just one more, It's just we're done?

Speaker 1 (46:54):
Is that m podcast network play z MS flesh Worn
and Hailey.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
Was reading a great article about a woman who's earning
thirty before Christmas and has struggled with the concept since
she was twenty four, and every single year on her
birthday she cries about time passing her by and approaching
this milestone.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Age.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Yeah, I know people that had real problem with every
year turning older.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
I think it's an owner of herivilege.

Speaker 5 (47:21):
It's a privilege. I have never struggled with it, maybe
until recently. Why I've always felt young and but.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
You still feel young?

Speaker 4 (47:35):
Yeah, I know, I know it's silly, but every single year.

Speaker 5 (47:38):
She said that she brought in her twenty fourth birthday
in tears, and it's almost become like an habitual thing
that every birthday she cries. And the article was more
about what she's doing to stop that in her thirties,
which is like a thirty by thirty list she's trying
to do before her day birthday?

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Do you think she wants to achieve?

Speaker 5 (47:55):
But I thought a better question to ask our listeners
is why did you cry on your bos birthday? What
went wrong? Maybe we could get a little It's my
party and I'll cry if I want to. Oh great song,
because sometimes maybe there's too much pressure around the day
and you had a bit of a dream about how
your party was going to go.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
Or a lot of people have expectations in life like
I will be engaged by twenty five and married by thirty,
or I have a kid by thirty or what.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Maybe someone dumped you on your birthday they chose.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
That day, oh yeah, or maybe the day you got
you didn't get on the present that you wanted, and
so you cried.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
There you go, Oh we got messages.

Speaker 4 (48:34):
We've got so many messages already.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Why are people crying on their happy day?

gaesstro and I shit my pants a little bit.

Speaker 15 (48:45):

my water blaster and I kept forgetting to pick it up.
That's on me. Is he moving today? You let him

It was impossible to get past the cheese or flower cried.
I I feel that I had to go on my
eighteenth birthday to my pop's funeral. I cried a lot

(52:34):

your first legal drink at a wake.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Yes, with the whole bunch of old people. Yes, we

Speaker 7 (52:43):
Where?

It's meant to.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Be your happy day, No, dude, it's meant to be No.

By the way, she didn't go to Feedji by herself.

Speaker 3 (52:56):
She didn't got FEEDI that was the person that cried
on their birthday because I got Dune two days before,
five days before, Janelle, Why did you call on your birthday?

Speaker 17 (53:07):
So I was out at brunch with some friends and
got a call as everyone was leaving and paying that
from the neighbor to say that a few days earlier
they had seen my cat get hit by a car.
A few days well, no, so the cat had gone missing,

(53:28):
and so I'd printed out some flyers and dropped them
around the neighborhood. They had seen it that morning, right, Yeah,
so my cat had passed away and was at the vet.
So it gets a little bit some morbid humor if
you guys are.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
Up for there.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
At the time.

Speaker 17 (53:46):
So they'd frozen our cat in a kurled up position,
you know how they do on their sides, Yeah, freezer.
But it was in a massive warehouse stationary box. So
we went and picked her up. And because we're looking
at the.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
Box, I think.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
They're a great place to go for a box if
you a few days.

Speaker 17 (54:07):
So anyway, we've brought her home because we decided to
bury her under her favorite tree. And then I obviously
we can't bury this massive box. So I went and
got a shoe box that I thought, oh, that's about
the size of what.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
The cat is.

Speaker 17 (54:21):
Anyway, with husband and my best friend's husband dug this
hole to bury the cat, and then my husband has
had to transfer the cat into the shoebox. Didn't fast
was about an inch, like an inch tubing, And so
my husband is like making eye contact with me with

(54:41):
this really awkward like, oh my god, this is my
wife's dead cat, and he's just like pushing her into
the box. I was obviously really upset my cat has
just died, burying it on my birthday in tears, and
then just to look on his face, I just I
couldn't help correcked up laughing. But my best friends thought

(55:03):
it was just like a new wave of tears. So
she comes over and is hugging me, and I'm just
correct out laughing. So yeah, more umu.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
But yeah that was Did you end up getting a
new cat? Did you give a new cat?

Speaker 17 (55:16):
Now? We did the following year, But then that's a
really sad story as well.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Come on, we're here now.

Speaker 17 (55:23):
Oh no, she got a text by roaming dogs.

Speaker 5 (55:27):
Oh my god, you're gonna laugh.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
It was.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Like, that's insane.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
That's why there's those targeted ads in Auckland for roaming dogs.

Speaker 17 (55:46):
Are in Auckland.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
Yeah you're Inkland. Okay, well you know I want to
hear that. Thank you for sharing. By the way, I
always rap cat and a towel and bury it. Yes,
more melleable, Yeah, bigger the hole and then they kind
of can just be pushed into the hole.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Was the town just the grades every time? Anonymous? Why
did you cry on your birthday?

Speaker 16 (56:09):
Cried because my baby gave me a guesh I shipped.

it's your birthday. It's just the bacterial infection of the gas.

Speaker 4 (56:24):
How much ship made it into the pants? Anonymous, that's birthday?

Speaker 16 (56:28):
I realized what was it?

Speaker 2 (56:29):
You know, like a tea spoon or half a cup?

Speaker 3 (56:32):
Quickly shut off the valve when you knew it was
measuring cup.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
It was a metric measurement. That's the thing that's hard
to tell us, because a quarter of a cup of
shit will go along, you know, look might feel like ship. Yeah,
only a couple of drop ship. You only need a
little bit. We can't ind with that. Give us a tick,
Give us a couple of ticks.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
First birthday, my dad didn't shop and I was told
by his wife he'd just been sentenced to eight year
in prison. Okay, no, no, it's not good. My dad
left on my birthday to get milk and never came back. No,
that's not good enough. My partner, my partner and I

go drinking with his friends than spend my birthday with
me and literally said, you'll have another one next year.

Speaker 5 (57:34):

heart attack in our driveway and my mum had to

house for a party.

play Shane Warn Cricket. So what they had they had
a PlayStation one at the PlayStation looked up for joonal
lomer rugby and also it's the anniversary of losing johnal Lomu.
Yeah it is years ago, Joan of the Giant Shane

(01:00:04):
Warn Cricket. It was great on the PlayStation one, Shane
Warn Cricket I think was it PlayStation two?

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
They probably would have been a PlayStation one.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Do you know who he used to play Shane Warn
Cricket with Hayden Jones. Who's there who does the news together?

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):

game they had on the PlayStation one, cause they had
every generation of PlayStation hooked up. They had a PlayStation
one in the background was like a nineties room, yeah,
and there was a couch and the PlayStation one was
playing John Lumber Rugby and it was hooked up to
a fourteen inch CRTTV, the tube ones, the bat ones

(01:01:14):
that were deeper than they were white. And my children,
both Jenna Alphas, a thirteen year old and eleven year old.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
We're just like, what's going on here? Was that I said,
this is a fourteen inch television and they were like,
who would use these things?

Speaker 5 (01:01:29):
So think about a subway, big subway to think a
little bit more than there.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Think about your laptop with a foot of mechanics behind years.
So where would these TVs go? Would people carry them
around and take them on the beach?

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Dream on the drusser? Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
I was like, well, we got our fourteen inch television
because we were a one television household. So then when
my parents invested in a caravan, and that lasted two
or three summers because Dad wasn't allowed to smack us,
so he scream at us in the caravan parks.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
Yeah, I didn't like that wayless.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
He like, yeah, sometimes giving us a precautionary yelling at
and the smack at the start of the jade, just
to make sure we didn't wreck anything in the caravan.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
One just bank, one bank of smack.

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
And a scream at and well look and it's scream
at us, look at our up seat. You're making your
mother and like, looking back on it, she was probably upset.
It just the whole vibe in general. Yeah, but anyway, anyway,
I don't know, Dad, And then he'd.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
Be like, why are you boys that was heading each other?
Come here?

Speaker 12 (01:02:23):
Smack smack smack.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
I know you've taught us conflict resolution smack smacks mac. Anyway,
it was a different time and we love him dearly.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
Yeah, he was doing he was doing his best with
the tools he headed as the space.

Speaker 4 (01:02:32):
He was doing what every other parent was doing. It
was how we parented.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
So it was when we had the caravan for that
brief amount of time that he invested in the fourteen
inch television.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
Daddy.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
Now, when the caravan got sold, the fourteen inch television
went into Philip and Vaughan's room.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
Smack dam in the middle of the bedroom.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
No remote if you wanted to change your TV to
get it and push the ball at the broomstick.

Speaker 4 (01:02:52):
How old were you when you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
Shared a room of Philip all the way through? And
did we until he left a nineteen weeks university? And
I was seventeen? When did we discover the joy that
was having your own?

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
Very late? Actually I've been making up pretty of sins,
but late.

Speaker 3 (01:03:12):
So they were like well, and I was like, well,
you know, and I explained the room because my parents
will live in the same house. I said it would
sit against the wall. And they were like, how did
you see? What did you just looked at that? How
did you see?

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
And I was like, you know what else will blow you?
No remote?

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
It'd get up and push the change bottom And they
were like, oh, so what, Like how did you watch
Netflix and stuff on it?

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
I was like, here's going to blow your bloody. He's
gonna blow your mind. We watched what we were told to.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
When we were told to, we didn't even we had
to get up and wiggle the rabbit ear is to
get different, like if we went from three to two,
it was a different configure the rabbit. Yeah, And they
were like, okay, so did you play video games on it,
like the video games here. I'm like, yeah, we did.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
And we had a switch on the back that changed
it from TV to to TV. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:03:54):
And I was just like they just blot minds kind
of believe it, and so so would you take it
to school on the bus?

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
It had to be plugged into power.

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
We didn't have batteries capable of powering screens like that
at the time.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
The whole experience, they were just like the.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
Olden days must have been wild.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
Yeah, the old days, olden days. What the nineties?

Speaker 3 (01:04:16):
Yeah, the olden days, well they thirty we're halfway through
the nineties, is thirty years ago. So you think about
when we were halfway through the nineties and we said
the olden days and we were referring to nineteen sixty
five sixties.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
Yeah, that's wild. Ay, Yeah, Okay, I just sit on
that for a moment.

Speaker 5 (01:04:32):
I stayed at a motel over the weekend and they
had a I would say maybe it was a fourteen
inch or for sixteen inch at best was the TV
screen provided.

Speaker 4 (01:04:45):
And I was sort of the same, like.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
This little isn't it really not getting a lot of detail?
Did we sit closer or did we just not need
to see.

Speaker 4 (01:04:54):
I sat closer up here to be like, you'll get
square eyes.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
But then also when your parents were going to be
in New not supposed to be on the TV, but
it's the loud speaking, you'd have to like turn it
right down and sit real close and be like, have
it on two, Yeah, have it on we'd have it
on two.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
You could have it on three. I don't put volume
on odd numbers unless.

Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
It's fine two to five or ten two two for five, six, eight,
ten only acceptable. And to be honest, it's got to
be five or ten. Anything else doesn't sit right.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
Yeah, in podcast needwork.

Speaker 9 (01:05:24):
Fact of the day, day day day day Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:05:30):
Do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
Ah. We are looking all this week here at fact
of the day with iconic characters with shockingly little screen time.
Beetle Juice was Monday, Jaws was yesterday. The Shark Bruce
the Mechanical Shark, which yes, on further investigation that seems
the Bruce and finding Nemo the shark Bruce and finding
Nemos indeed nomage oh okay, and no marsh An m
marsh to the Jaws robot today we might be peaking,

(01:06:05):
might be peaking. It's really great way to get through
hump day because today we're looking at Darth Vader and
Star Wars and New Hope from nineteen seventy seven.

Speaker 4 (01:06:15):
Star Wars and New Hope. Which one was there one?

Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
The first one just called star Wars, right, and then
they chucked the title on it and called it a
New Hope. It's where we were introduced the first one
ever we're introduced to look Skywalker, Okay, I know these ones.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
These are the ones.

Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
Were the three I've seen the three nine three? Yeah? Three?

Speaker 3 (01:06:33):
What about the three before and the three after and
all the little side quest ones.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
We mean the three before the prequels where.

Speaker 4 (01:06:39):
We learn about three originals.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
Yeah, and then they so then in the in the
late two thousands, we learned the origin stories of Anakin.
Skywalker becomes Darth Vader. Judjo Banks, jar Jo Binks was
in the the prequels. Okay, I've seen one of those, okay,
and then there was three more.

Speaker 4 (01:06:56):
I saw none of those after ones.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
They weren't good, No, they were great. Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Every thing everything that's got Star Wars in the title,
to me is a ten out of ten will watch
again more of.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
A Bride'smaid's Girl.

Speaker 5 (01:07:06):
Yeah, great movie, great, great film again. Now ten things
they hate about you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
Well talk about you. We had to talk about Darth
Vader's Rolling Stars. How many? How many?

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
Chuck me your guess at what percentage of Star Wars
and New Hope Darth Vader was five minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
No, that's not a percentage on that's a time or.

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
You can give minutes if you want, but you're low.
It's more than that. This movie is two hours, one
minute long.

Speaker 5 (01:07:32):
Fifteen I will say he was in seventeen percent of
the film.

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
He was in six percent of the film. Oh wow,
he was only on screen for eight minutes. I mean
I was low. Five minutes was not low, Like five.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
Minutes was like close to eight. It's like you just
went seven eight. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
I was literally you could have said to me, you
were so crazy close, but.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
You were definitely low. You were low.

Speaker 4 (01:08:01):
That five was less than a yeah. But we could
always let it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
Go, Eschepe of Dane because you made it too high.

Speaker 5 (01:08:08):
Literally, the films like two hours, twenty two hours, one minute,
two hours.

Speaker 4 (01:08:12):
One minute, and you were three minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
Off getting a run so close? Well, so he's owned
six percent of the movie.

Speaker 5 (01:08:19):
Justice was that it's an injustice that you didn't say
to him, you're close.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
No, it's not. He was low high and then so
by now you know it's between five and.

Speaker 5 (01:08:29):
Fifteen when you both I want you to ord to
know listeners that both of the men have their arms folded.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
And that was. That was, that was. I didn't know.
I didn't know if out of this break, I'm done.
I was so close. He was in the movie for
six percent of the movie.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
A lack of respect, to be honest, he's doing it
to disrespect.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
Yeah, he is, because I was so right, you were
so close.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
Vader was supposed to be according to George Lucas's planning,
Vader was supposed to be the big bad in the
second movie, and in the first one.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
He wasn't supposed to be the focal point. But of
course he comes in.

Speaker 3 (01:08:59):
He's huge, he's scared of him.

Speaker 5 (01:09:02):
All yes, you haven't ever seen anything like it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
And then the voice, the James Earl Jones voice immediately
made an iconic It made an appearance at Cobb and Co.
My parents took me. I was like, I don't want
to go near that. Just get give crunches in my traffic,
and I'll get there before that shows up.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
I've got my crunches on my fingers. Yeah, I'm doing
my cod crunches like rings.

Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
I've got my pink panther.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
I don't need to see that guy. Yeah, he like huts.
People on half of the lights save half, don't they.
So he wasn't supposed to be talking.

Speaker 3 (01:09:35):
Of course, we all know Greymouth's talking was supposed to
be the drink if we if we've watched Rogue one,
we were in the origin of the Death Star and
the Death Stars Ultimate Weakness because it's led into the handle,
the handle of both and season one and two even
you'd love it. It's great Bridesmaids, I do like, which

(01:09:59):
is and then the weakness with the vent and the
event goes down in a bomb. So Tarkan's on the
desk Star when it blows up. R I p Tarkan
and that's when Darth Vader kind of steps up along
with the Emperor, and then the Emperor is the big
bad and the third one the Impress, and.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
You've lost me anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:10:15):
So but it is interesting that he was on for
just over five minutes, just three.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
More minutes than five minutes, so kind of like closer
to ten, closer to ten than just six percent. They
say they they've studied way. It was so iconic. His
entrance through the smoke was the reveal. They said, the
reveal of the character was iconic. Immediately there was an
interrogation droid and when he force choked that guy when
it was like you wizardre and he's like, I find
your lack of lack of faith disturbing, and that guy's like,

(01:10:41):
it was like, what's happening. He's choking him, He's not
touching him. So we learn about the force. He introduced
that whole situation and then he was chasing He is
Anakin Skywalker.

Speaker 5 (01:10:49):
Was Hayden Christianson, Yes, and that's who ends up being
Darth Vader.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
Yeah, spoiler.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
Yeah, yeah, the Kenobi series because Hayden comes back and
plays Dat Vater inside there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
But he was a good.

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
Boy, troubled, troubled, troubled, yeah, troubled and raged. He was
a little bit late coming to the Judi Academy for
the training, so of course he was powered mostly the
motion and then his mother.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
Was killed, was killed, and he went back and he
just lost his mind.

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
Skywalker was Darth Vader?

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Did you not know this? How have we been friends?
Close friends, genuine friends for this long? And you didn't
know Anakin? Sky because you don't respect time. I think
that I just didn't I respect you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
That's why I'll say that you're low.

Speaker 4 (01:11:35):
When you told them five sh minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:11:38):
Anakin kind of ruled the whole famous revenge. I'm done
with this chat.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
We love it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
We love it, so he despite only being on the phone,
we're done for a summation sentence.

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
We don't need it.

Speaker 4 (01:11:52):
So we've got messages, and Flip was pretty close.

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
In fact, you would agree on the low side.

Speaker 5 (01:11:57):
Five five is so close to your flavor of tism?
Was Trains or is it Star Wars?

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
It's both?

Speaker 3 (01:12:06):
Oh you wait till he season strain what I'm a
Neapolitan ice cream of tism. Okay, I got three flavors
and they kind of switch and change. Okay, I'm an
ice cream part and whatever ice cream. I'm in the
mood for a bird really love. Five minutes is four
point two percent versus eight minutes been six percent, So
it was it was close, but low, but high is

(01:12:30):
eighty percent. Eighty minutes higher rule.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
The math.

Speaker 4 (01:12:35):
Five minutes is four point two percent.

Speaker 3 (01:12:37):
Of the Just read that out, so you're not asking
you your opinion is now void.

Speaker 4 (01:12:41):
No, I was just reading the other the feedback.

Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
But people are on my side saying yesterday despite being
in the FILMYA.

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
This is the worst fact. It's not since calendars.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
Just immediately on board, despite this film being in the
film for only eight.

Speaker 4 (01:12:57):
Minutes, no tag team Fletch.

Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
Day is the most recognizable villain in cinematic history.

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
Take that on board.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
Unless you were five is less than eight. So today's
factor the day as Darth Vade. It was only in
six percent of the first Star Wars movie. It's pretty
close to four point two.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
Fact of the day, day day day day, Do do
do Do Do Do Dude do.

Speaker 9 (01:13:27):
Doo doo.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
The z M podcast Network.

Speaker 8 (01:13:34):
Play z m's Flesh, Forn and Hayley.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
A stat out of America. In the US, the average
American spends one hundred and forty seven American dollars annually
on decorations.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
I'm add more and more every year, like what what
is like? And that's the average American.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
So even if people have got the whole setup, they're
not buying anything somebody else is pretty much buying a
whole setup, or it's just the average of the annual spend.
The total market for Christmas lights and decorations was estimated
in twenty twenty three to be seven point eight billion
dollars in the US alone. That's Christmas lights, decorations, tinsel,
all of that.

Speaker 5 (01:14:09):
Because I I want to be a Christmas house and
I've been talking to my neighbor, but they're still renovating it. Mom,
I don't think we're ready. I think maybe Rosa, we
might have to do.

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
He mean, what you want the whole street to be?
So I want.

Speaker 5 (01:14:20):
I need to add more decorations of my tree. She's
a bit beer two. I need to warm up the lights.
I got cold ones by acident last year. I remember
it was a point of contention, cold cold hue rather
than warm, you know, like a white cycle white versus candle.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:14:35):
But I want the outside of my house to be
a Christmas house. And my dream is for me to
spread cheer in the street and get everyone involved. And
there's two neighbors already who are like, let's do it.
But I just don't think we're ready.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
And I thought about it, Like, did you hear before
the show when she's moaning about her power belt?

Speaker 18 (01:14:50):
I know?

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
And now you want to light cheer, I will happily
keep the heat pump off.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
Okay, you're okay, so you're a sacrifice. I don't know, man,
it's Maggie, late December.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
Maybe if we'll go the spar pole heading, Okay, we go,
no eating? Maybe if we go maybe eating, turn the fridgeop.

Speaker 5 (01:15:07):
Turn the fridge off. Yeah, because I want to I
want to be a Christmas person.

But this year my kids are both at an age
where they can't really agree on what decorations we're having
on the main tree, and so.

Speaker 17 (01:16:42):
We decided to let them have a tree each in
their bedrooms this year.

Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
Okay, that's a bit overboard.

Speaker 5 (01:16:50):
If I was a kid, my brother would have had
like Formula one and maybe like guitars and stuff, and
maybe cree. It would be like Pink and Bobie and
that's a good idea.

that's really cool. Nice to hear that something's happening out
there there. It's really cute. Though they are the locals.
No one's going to west Auckland's going to the traffic.
The traffic at the week would say otherwise.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
We've had a couple of people saying they leave them up.

Speaker 5 (01:22:10):
I leave my Christmas tree up throughout the year because
once you take the ball balls and ship off, it's
a indoor tree.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (01:22:16):
Somebody else said they changed their theme throughout the year.
We've headed up for two years straight. We've had a
Mexican theme. Okay, we had a dress up as Michael
Jackson once it was running jokes, so it never got
taken down, okay, and we just kind of like, yeah,
change the decorator. You could do an Easter one. Yeah,
I love that idea Salentine's Day tree.

like bad, bad bad, and they were like recal recall.

this magic sand.
