Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the Zidim podcast network.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
This is from the Foleo and Haley's Big Pond.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Thanks to animates making happy happened for Pits cos we
crawl closer. Just got to get through to Christmas. I know.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Do you know what though, I've had a real one
ad on my mood.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yes, dropped a little. It's almost like when you don't
get enough sleep in your mood changes and then you
get sleep and then yeah, and then you've got a
lot of sleep last night and now you're happier.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
It's it was so weird out there, there's no science.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Then also yesterday I had my first fall asleep in
a bean bag and the sun's sleep of summer and
my first barbecue of summer.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Oh yeah, this just really brightened me up. You have
some great weather around the country coming up on the show.
The Top Sex born Australian Teens upset.

Speaker 5 (00:48):
That absolutely gutted their social media band is going to come.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
In yea, and so it's already in right, it was immediate.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
What was the date of it?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
I thought it was taken over, like are we're talking
about you? And you me? And they were shooting themselves
that it was coming. It's already happened, has it?

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh wow.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
They they're not they're not happy about it, and they're
saying you are constant. One particular fourteen year old blogger
as saying that you are constantly a human right of socialized.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
December ten, So tomorrow, yeah, yeah, tomorrow is when it happens.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
I knew it was lumen.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
There'll be tears, so they'll be blocked from techtok alphabet
and meta alphabit Google.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
So meta being like Facebook, Instagram.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
YouTube, all of them. Mom supposed to do. Alphabet is YouTube.
That's kind of very surely not actual. Wait, so they're
not even allowed to watch YouTube? But surely you can.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
I mean, kids are on YouTube, but maybe it's not
have their own account, maybe they have a parent, Maybe it's.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Parents account, the blocks on the family account. Okay, well,
I mean lot, they're they're beside themselves. I as somebody
that's spent a large part of my youth without free
access to tell you there's a lot of ways to
socialize out there. I'm also gather around, as granddad tells,
the days before the internet. Also coming up, I've found
a calculator that's been invented by a university that works

(02:20):
out if your Christmas tree is a bit much. And
I'm not looking at anyone in the room, but Hailey,
I will need some measurements of your Christmas tree.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
You asked me to go around my Christmas tree and
count them all up yesterday, which I did, and now
I feel like it was pure as you could call
me out on here.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, yes it was, and we'll input it into the
computer and will work out the correct.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Measurements, the correct level of tackiness exactly. My fear is
mine's not garish enough.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Well, Nick's on the show. Here's the way I.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Think our group of friends, either the three of us
or the wider group of friends, could do to keep
updated with how our weeks have been.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
A cute little friendship idea.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Next the fleet worn and Haley Pod.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
This is a great idea, you would.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Would what is it?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Insinuate Vaughn, you're a trend follower.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah, Wan, yeah, I am, actually, but we don't need
this because we see each other too much as friends,
as genuine friends. Well to do to utilize this little
friendship trick that someone has shared online? Okay, but I
think this could be good for the likes of the gaggle,
or a wider group chat, a wider group chat, or
you know your bestie group that all live sort of

(03:36):
far apart, like your lads chat.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Worn Yeah yeah, all spread out.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, so well it depends what they got up to
on the weekend. Now, on Sunday at twelve pm every
week you do a little drop of five photos from
your week and you just go bomb, here's my five.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Bomb, here's my five, here's my five.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Okay, and it kind of gives you a little you
know how people do this on Instagram, like little photo dumps.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
I'm not into it. I prefer a curated fee. It
will become like Instagram. No one's going to put up
here's my way. Oh, here's me crying just alone. Here's
my progress perk for the gym. No progress, no progress
actually gone backwards. Yeah, he's just me sitting at work,
bored out of my brain. Yeah. Here's a screenshot of
a bank account when I was transferring some money.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
I'm just looking at mine now. Yeah, here's a shot
of a river that's not very interesting.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Well, well tell me about this river stones It was
pretty brown. Did you hear about side note?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Did you hear there's going to be a scone Stone
skipping championship at Harwea. This summer news you've got that
is fantastic because a lot of technique involved in the story.
Yeah there is, there really is.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
But for example, like I was in Wannaker over the
weekend and I could just send a little photo of
a little.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Thing I was doing that and then one of me
doing something and a little bit. The thing is, though,
our group chat and our giggle group chat, those would
probably be the group chats I'm most active and participate.
I think I'm ont to be part of both of
those those. When things happen, people just put a photo
in straight away, like it doesn't need it doesn't need
everyone on a Sunday to dump photos because if anything

(05:11):
interesting happens, we know about it.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, I know, but I would argue that our group
chats are very active. I think it would be good
for you, like your school friends or you know, you're
like anyone from and do you know what the worst
part is, it's just gonna be kids.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Do you want to be in your school friends group
chat when they have Victoria's secret models, like here's what
I got up to this week? Do you want to
feel good about that every Sunday.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Partying with this rock star and I like, oh my god, same,
I got a white stain out of an old shirt
that I've.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Been Really was a stain And what was your technique?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
So it was cooking? It was a paprika base. Yeah, stay,
it's been.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
I'm a huge fan of standing room.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
Both of the things you've used as borrowing examples of
really tickle my fancy. I still want to see this
river and I don't removal before and after.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I'll put that in our chair, but probably not the
chat with the Victoria's Secret model because she's she's Do.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
You think she could get a stain out of a
white shirt? Real? I don't think she's washed her shirt
since she left. Chuck it another one to her from
some high end fashion level. She's fresh Valencia Tea and
the Post wins. The last time you even spoke to
her this Victorious Secret message, would she be like, oh, hey,
I remember you.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Should remember me? But we weren't like buddy, But I
wouldn't like miss sure, assume you'd remembered I'm pretty unforgettable. No,
she probably remembered me because we had a trauma bomb
when we got a car crash together.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Really, Yeah, she was driver. Is that where what happened
to your face happened?

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah? She got You were both on the way to
own model. Yeah, you were both on the way.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
To modeling.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
As a tractor at the hospital and they were like,
there's only two doctors on to fix, like you go,
one really good and one's not good. Yeah, what a
funny wrap. We're all laughing. Laugh, We just laugh. We laugh.

(07:09):
Otherwise we cry. Please if you've got a fat camp
or a fat dog or a fat budgy, I don't
know if the budget, I don't know. I don't know
if budgies get fat. Never actually seen a fat budget.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Can birds get fair?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Well, the kid is faton, that's this big bone. Birds
can get.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
Fat, especially on seed heavy diets with little exercise. Always
remember walk your budge, that's the.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Disease. Well, great news because they have made a weight loss.
Jab four pits. Come on, PIM should have done. This
is a top six. It was itself really asking for it?

(07:58):
Well yeah, no, so it has. It's it's being developed.
I mean, I guess it's the same stuff we're using,
but smaller waist, smaller doses. So they're not as hungry.
Animals famously love getting jabs to they the back of
the neck. Yeah, the dogs don't really mind. Yeah, I
don't really feel it. But then I don't know if
you guys have seen much of the Osborne's Oh my god, disgusting.

(08:22):
It is like someone needs to take their jab pins
away from them because they are skeletal. No, it's horrific
to look at. But could you imagine a little bobble
hit cat like my cat, if he got skinny skin,
you'd have to have a little full wrap around nip tuck.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Take them to Turkey on the plane with us when
we go for your boobs? Oh yeah, what was happening
first boobs or face boobs?

Speaker 3 (08:51):
First boobs, face boobs at face at fift day. I
wouldn't even I wouldn't even let you know. I'm not
gonna be hiding this.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
But yes, apparently it's it's gonna become GLP one drugs.
Four pets.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
It's happening.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
So I suppose if you're picked, because you know, when
you see those real fat pets and they've got to
do that water therapy.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Oh yeah, that was that too heavy on? It's too
heavy on. Their joints.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, like I suppose if it's so bad that they're
uncomfortable and you want to take away a little bit
their hunger so they're not so stressed about food.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
You kind of get it.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
But we can't be having this is gonna this is
gonna take over Hollywood.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Dogs. Yeah, all the fat all the fat dogs in
Hollywood or even the actor dogs, like the famous dogs
and monkeys and all that that are on screen.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
They're going to start like monkeys. You say, Kelly Osborne,
fat monkeys, fat monkeys on screen monkeys, And then all
the screen monkeys is going to be like, oh my god,
have you seen Sunday. She's so much She's got the
ches on the jabs.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
She's saying, bana's I had half a.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Banana this morning. I'm good for the day. Man, I
got to have tin.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
They're going to start getting too skinny, looking like bloody monkey.

Speaker 6 (09:56):
Osborne plays it ends least one Haley, Well, Christmas is
from a tass away because you know, I'm not good
at maths, so can someone.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
It's a week tomorrow, Two weeks tomorrow, oh my god,
so close. No, two weeks one day tomorrow. I just
say two weeks in two days time.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Six Why don't you just say sixteen? However, however you
painted it's really snuck up. Yeah, look it's one payday
till Christmas. That sincond. So some mathematicians from Sheffield University
in the bok.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
Miss the Sheffield named after mister Sheffield for some reason.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
I guess they're trying to make it well that Maxwell Sheffield.
Sheffield was his name from the nanny for some reason.
I think there's mathematics university students are trying to make
university fun because God, I can't imagine a maths degree
or anything in maths being fun.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Well, that's not the attitude they have come had with
your schooling.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
They have come up with an interactive tool to work
out if your Christmas tree is gaudy yeah, or is
too much yeah. So they have come up with an
interactive tool. You put in the height of your Christmas tree,
the number of ball bulls, the height of the star
or the fairy, the length of tinsel, and length of lights,

(11:19):
and then it will give you the ideal amount based
on their mathematical analysis of a beautiful, perfect looking Christmas tree.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
So you mentioned this yesterday and told me to go
and get this information from my tree, which, by the way,
I put up on Instagram. And I'll say a lot
of feedback is it can take more.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
It can take more heading because it looks it looked
good to me, Layden, it looked laden. I think I'm
missing some things. Okay, okay, well I need the height
in two and forty centimeters. I got a biggie two
hundred three hundred, okay, so now give me the rest
of the and it's already spat out the correct amount

(11:57):
of ballbles. How many ball bulls? Wow? Okay, here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Okay, I don't really want to include the mini bullbulls.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
They're filler. No, they're bable bubbles because I've got okay,
rather down, there's still bubbles.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Twelve birds, twelve flowers, eight soldiers, six ten hearts, six
crystal ballbles, twelve stripe ballbulls, six bury twigs, and eighteen
mini balls.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
We kill of the birds. That's a decoration. Yeah, that's
a ball bull. Okay, Well, how totally including the.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Mini ones because they're like this, they're like a ten
cent piece. They're just little filler.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
We are including them. That's all up.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
It's a perfect eighty.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
If we don't include the mini bullbulls. Wow, I'm really
trying to help you here. Sixty two okay, the perfect
number of ball bulls for a two meter four tree
two point four meter tree. Forty nine.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
No, listen, the mini bubbles, we're not including those.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
I think you go too much. That's fluff. That's fluff.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
And also it's the six berry twigs. Surely that's just fluff.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
Go in too much.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
We could take that. Okay, Now, the height of you
you've got a star I've got a star burst thing.
It's thirty seven centimeters again, twenty four centimeters. Mathematics, it
should be a tent. There should be ten percent of
the tree. So that's the and these are mathematicians that
have worked out exact okay.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
The length of tinsel, no tinsel.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah see, I think that I get more bubble allowance.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I think we could clue include the mini bubbles and
the berry twigs as my tinsle allowers tinsel.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Sometimes it looks really good and sometimes it just looks
real bad. I want beads, okay, well the old I
got some beads. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
I want a garden, but it's not a mardi Gras,
is it?

Speaker 1 (13:40):
I want Mardi Gras beads. The perfect length of tinsel
for your tree would be one two and twenty five centimeters. Okay.
Now the length of your lights something meters? Ten? Yeah,
twelve meters? Do you buy lights in New Zealand and
by the meter?

Speaker 7 (13:58):
You do?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (13:59):
So how many meters of lights do you have? Thirty meters? Which? Three?

Speaker 8 (14:04):
Pout?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Three?

Speaker 4 (14:05):
How many centimeters?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Three? Three?

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Three thousand, three thousand mills?

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Wait? How lights?

Speaker 4 (14:11):
Three thousand cinameters?

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Okay? Well, the perfect lengths of lights seven hundred and
fifty four centimeters. No, that's not enough lights, there's not left.
That's enough. Really sounds like you've got like four times
a scientific I don't think it's a weird.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
I think I need upload a photo because it's not
a weird that I've got a fatty base.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
It gets wide, very wide. How trees work, they've they've
worked all.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Of this out.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Then they're imagining a fast, slimmer tree, and I don't
I don't know. I refuse to include my mini bubbles
because well, you.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Need roughly six point two ball balls for every thirty
centimeters one foot of a text, and that Christmas tree calculation,
thank you. Three one four.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
That Christmas tree calculation is not taken into account diameter
and thickness of tree.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
A very thick tree.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Some trees are tall but per fast than twiggy things.
It's mister crucial component here.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
I totally agree. I've got a thick I've got a
thick bat right. Well, they so, as part of this
news story, they talked to a guy that decorates the
enormous Christmas tree at the five star hotel in London,
Clarages Famous, and he said, the amount of decorations you
use depends on the type of bables you plan on using.
You see, I've got birds and flowers. So he says,

(15:25):
we allow seventy five to ninety ball balls for a
six foot tree, assuming they're all about eight centimeters in
diameter and all textured or patterned in some way. Come.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
I'm I'm sitting under there, and I think I could
actually afford more.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Well, okay, so after all of this, do you think
you need more boys more? Did you see?

Speaker 3 (15:43):
I made a Christmas wreath out of fake flowers for
my front door and I hung it up yesterday. I
think it's gorgeous.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
That's beautiful, that's really nice. What are the big white things.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Fake pionies? And then I've got some sort of so
that one on the top write that penny is out
of it's out of line. It's out of line.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
I know in a cable tied them to keep them on.
So I've got to yank that one down, but.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Rid velvet by a nothing like a couple of cable
ties just to make it look really really we bring
in the Feast of Spirit.

Speaker 9 (16:16):
The ZNN podcast network, play z in Splitch one and Haley.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
From your local community Facebook page.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
This is the top six.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Hi there today's up sex and top six Wace To
socialize without social media, Australia's Teenage Social Media Band comes
into place tomorrow on the ten.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
On the tenth, and these kids are shitting themselves.

Speaker 10 (16:42):
Teenagers are losing a vital communication tool and you're celebrating.
You're taking away the way that we communicate with our friends,
the way we feel connected to the world. You're taking
away our creative outlets, something that makes us happy, and
here you are celebrating it.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Room Clout. I've had enough of you writing emotionally manipulative
blogs right go to your room, no wonder, we've got
a hiding as teenagers. When you hear that, that's like,
are you trying to take anything away from me as
a teenager? And I would And then you found a
cause and with words, so I would have written a speech.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Yeah, I was at speaking, so I would have said
it real good, I mean sort of get it. But
I also think that social media is horrendous for teenagers.
So I'm like, it's in your best interests.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, but I mean if that's what you've grown up
with and you always had it, yeah, then yeah. And
also Australian teens already flouting with just basically changing their
age on Instagram, yeah, and using other apps that don't
check ID or just using vpas is.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
It a vpn' gonna do the trip?

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Maybe? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (17:49):
Well I know the top six waste of socialize without
social media. I grew up in a different time. You
did number six. Build a tire S one and the
people will come.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
We will go, we will well gether.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
We will gather and be like, guess it go? How
high can you go? Who built this?

Speaker 3 (18:09):
Whose dad gave us this rope? We noticed the rope
is not thick enough and it's like rubbing on the bar.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
You need a way, you need like sort of a
metal loop around where it's on the things that slides
on the middle, not the bark. Its way through the
thinat also weakens your rope. Yeah, how is it attached
to the time?

Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's danger. We had his kids, but didn't we bond
and make friends?

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (18:31):
We did, especially when we hit the ground, and yeah,
we encourage the chubby kid to go on. The tires
went full well known. It could be the end of
the tires win, but boy would laugh good time.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Number five the.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
Less of the top six ways to socialize without social media.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
It was Christian, but they didn't do anything Christian.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
I imagine you were the kind of person that joined
because it was a hot boy there.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Once he threw a bust warm my face, I was like,
desper what do you love me or something?

Speaker 4 (19:04):

socialized without social media.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Start playing a game of four square.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Main people will gather, the people will gather. There'll be
a Q for who gets to be the first square joker. Yeah, Prince,
queen King. Yeah, it wasn't a princess in the game.
I just played that. It was just numbers. Well, it
didn't have a name. You got to king and you
were king. I remember his kingdom. I don't remember the
other one.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
The queen was the second one, the fingers of the prince.
I think it was the joker.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
The four You rural kids made up some crap. Yeah,
either that'll go home and look at cows.

Speaker 5 (19:56):
Yeah, that could be number three on the list, but
it's not three in the list of some guy did
it the weekend.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
That was so much fun. Go tad polar Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
We used to tell we did cocker bullies.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
You did cocker bully.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, you should see these tadpoles we caught, man, they
were huge fatties.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Would you catch them in? Because ours was one of
those big just juice containers.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
So we stole dad's pool cleaning net that he uses
to clean this pool with. And when we came back,
he's like it's full of duck weed seeds. We're gonna
he was there. By the way, my dad's just turned
into a big kid. He was excited about the tad
polar Ryan was funny because if you'd missed up as
knit as a kid, you would have got a hiding.

(20:35):
And now he's such a smack because his grandkids are
there and you'll do anything for them. We've got a
smack for taking that down to a dirty pot.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yeah, I was just looking at what a cocker bully is.
It's just a little fish, fresh water fish thing good
work to kill themselves because they hated living in a
just juice container. So if you left the lid offer
just jump out and be like.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Sacrificial. I get it, But ever jump on them if
they can get out of a justice container. If you
have a water lower in the water level, nah hate
get the water nice and high.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Build a very dangerous, very rickety heart. Now it can
be on the ground, yes, it can be up in
a tree. But if you build a heart, kids a
good want to hang out in the heart for the heart,
build your own heart.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
You can have a community of hearts.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
No building, consent from the councilday, no reasons management Act.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
Yeah, No, not one at all and number one in the.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
Less of the top sex waste of socialized without social media?
As the band comes in Australia, is that a rock
and roll band? While you notice the sharp decline in
rock and roll bands that social media came out.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
Yeah, that'd be wanted to be in a rock and
roll band.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah, and now there's no kids just picking up some
instruments and trying to be in a rock and roll band.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Rock and roll. That's today's top.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Six plays plays it ends.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
You may remember a couple of years ago we talked
about Hitten, my favorite dairy guy.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yes, yeah, the local.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Diary down the rough of my shot. There's two diaries,
and Hitton's Deary was my diary of choice. Hitten's gone,
as is the dairy.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
We had good times.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
He had a career change and then the shop was
just shut up. And so for a while my tiny.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Village has been operating with one diairy, one dairy and
how many vape shops two thoughts on? Yeah, somebody worked
out the per capita vapes. We've new Zealand is not
because I remember we got a friend that was visiting.
He's like, why do you guys have so many vape stores?
Juice babes, We love the juice.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
It's becoming a running gag with a friend when you
see a nice restaurant and you're like, that's a nice restaurant.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
Thank god there's a vape store on the block.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
I know because they are literally every night I have.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
We've got a specific vape shop, and then we had
three outlets that you could buy vapes from, so it
was technically four anyway. So Headed's dery is gone and
there are.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
One and twenty registered specialist vape retailers in New Zealand.
There are at least no more than man a higher
combined toe of five thousand, seven hundred and sixty general
vape retailers and one thousand, three hundred and sixty one
specialist stores.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
No, there's got to be more. So that's five thousand
and Auckland alone. Surely it's wild, Yeah, totally.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Well so, so the Deary was empty for ages bought
it up, you know, all emptied out, and it has
been sort of like what what's.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Going to go in the air, what's going to go
in there?

Speaker 4 (23:22):
What's do you do?

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Get really excited when you see like they the paper
up the windows and you're like, what's going to be there?
That happened, It got papered up and there was it
was action. There was action.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
I was like, what's it going to be? Then I
got very busy and it wasn't home alone. It's coming
home in the dark, and I sort of forgot about it.
And my mom, who now lives with me. If you've forgotten,
my mom came and was like, have you seen what's
popped up in the old deery? And I said no,
She's take a little walk. I went yesterday, Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a second hand store. Wow, Riverhead Bizarre and.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
It's open shrinkets, home wears, old.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Goods, the kind of crap that I like to spend
my money on. Yes, literally like a four minute walk
from my front door.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Oh that's trouble. You're trouble. I'm in trouble.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
I'm going to lose all my money. I'm going to
lose all of the space of my house. My house
is going to end up looking like the Riverhead Bazaarre.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah, how many? How are all of these second hand
stores finding enough stuff? Because people like Hailey spend ridiculous
amounts of money on an old firit. What I'm saying is,
where are they getting?

Speaker 5 (24:30):
How many diseased states are happening? There's so many second
handsfors and they're all full of st I reckon.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
They go to garage sales and looks like good stuff.
I haven't walked in yet because I'm trying to enter
a personal recession. But this will not be helping.

Speaker 9 (24:44):
The n podcast Network lays z nds flesh one and
Hailey's fully.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Silly little pool.

Guy, I said, I was told my bonus this year
was getting to keep my job.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Hot. Wow, that is so rude. Yeah, that's not great.
That's not great. It sounds like some real boomer management speakers,

Speaker 3 (26:58):
I also would like to keep my job for Christmas.
I just want to let that be hurt ran.

Speaker 5 (27:03):

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yeah, hither, I said, I'm a teacher. What's a bonus?

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Although copious amounts of chocolate gifted from students at the
end of the year feels like a bonus and a curse.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Where's you know pats used to make out my teacher's
Russian fudge?

Speaker 4 (27:23):
Is Patsy still making Russian funch?

Speaker 1 (27:25):

That's Russian funch.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Ladies all wrapped up in cell a phone, little ribbon
curl she runs up there yet.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Yeah, Nathan c got a seventy five dollars pack and
soay vout you getting Christmas ham that's good, Get a
ham ice cassidy a five hundred Christmas bonus every year.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
One year I got two thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Imagine that.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
Before that's like, oh, that's so good. Alana said, no,
we don't. And this year we don't even get a
Christmas party or a lunch. The business is struggling.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Yeah, we're going to talk about that later in the show,
about the Christmas party, the downfall of the work Christmas party.
They're being slashed left center.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
My boss is a piece of shit. Nothing for Christmas.
By the way, I'm self employed. So that's just a
little bit of year there. Yeah, that I'm going to
finish up on anonymous who gets a fifteen thousand dollar
Christmas bonus? What but the last three months of the
year have all been sixty hour weeks. Yeah, so that's
just kind of going to equal out of here. Probably actually, yeah,

(28:29):
not getting a bonus, are you?

Speaker 8 (28:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:31):
I remember when I first moved to Auckland years ago,
and a friend's wife worked in finance or mortgages, when
it was all like goeh and got a forty thousand
dollars Christmas bonus and that was like Jesus, that's like
my salary. I was like, what forty grand?

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Some messages.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
We used to get a Christmas lunch on Christmas Day
at the hospital and this year management have canceled it.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
That's just the text. That's just come on, you know who,
you know who? It reckons to blame David Seymour, like
he's a slant. I reckon he's head canceled Christmas. If
you could cancel Christmas, he would work on Christma.

Speaker 7 (29:11):
Is.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
I work at Bunnings.

Speaker 5 (29:12):
I get a thirty dollars balance to spend there, and
this year we're also getting a Bunnings branded monopoly.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Do you think that they check your receipt if you
work at Bunnings, like on the way out, on the
way out, yeah, I even if you're in the uniform.

Speaker 8 (29:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
My ex, which was a business owner, used to give
herself a ten thousand dollar bonus and Christmas. And then
we separated and she'd be still her earnings and pretended
she earned air for for child support purposes, but I
knew she was giving herself a ten grand Christmas bonus.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Well, that's cheeky. I kind of look up a little
call of the IRD. I'd actually get on the blow
out of the idea as soon as.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Well as I love it. That probably got called an
arc line. That probably got some targets. I got ha
before the end of the year. Cool eight hundred ird narc. Yeah,
I wonder what the most movie mood for an arc? Yeah,
chuck an ark on the old budget pre Christmas nark. Yeah. Man,
so that I wander one of the most expensive squares
on the But Bunnings monopoly that that Bunnings said they

(30:08):
were getting, Oh yeah, they got a budding. Um would
it be a part of the store. I reckon it
would be a part of the store, don'ts What do
you reckon? Go to the equivalent to go to jailer's,
go anywhere where they let the kids play because it's
noisy the kids playground. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
So in two thousand and sevens Bunnings and Australia did
a monopoly, but it was Bunting stores.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Oh it.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Stores. Do we get confirmation there?

Speaker 5 (30:35):
We can come back, we can come back next to
see what the dealer is with that with that Bunnings one,
because today for Silly Little Pole, we said do you
get a Christmas bonus?

Speaker 4 (30:42):
And eighty nine percent of you said narrow?

Speaker 9 (30:45):
Does that M podcast Network play z m's flesh fornon Haley?

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Now, a warning for something that I've done a bunch
of times. I know we've all done this, and a
lot of us stood at bars and restaurants and that's
opening up a tab and you give them your credit card,
they leave it behind the bar or the restaurant.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
When you go to balancer, you take it yea hand,
your little number over and then it's all good, and.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Then it's all good. Well, this is kind of highlighted
because a key we can't all were holidaying in Miami
that we dom Miami and they went to a day
club with a minimum spin. A lot of these places
in like places like we did one in Bali, and
they say you can book a debt and hang out here,
but you've got to spend at least three hundred dollars
or something like that. That's like Ballei prices. But in Miami,

(31:29):
the minimum spin was three thousand US dollars. I'm sorry, sir,
I know, so that works out about just over five thousand.
But They were cool with that because obviously they always
do in New Zealanders. Yeah, so they get a date
and I'm assuming there's a bunch of friends, so between friends,
I mean, that's so expensive, but they're doing it. They're like, Okay,

(31:50):
it's going to be three thousand dollars. When they go
to pay or when they leave, they find that the
bar has actually charged them about the equivalent of thirteen
thousand New Zealand dollars seven and a half thousand US dollars.
Why you God, you better had a good night, you know. Well,

(32:10):
so they disputed the charge, the credit card provider reversed it,
but then the bar said, we've got the receipts, this
is how much was spent. They were like, well, some
of those aren't our signatures. And so this is why
it's in the news because they went to the Financial
Services Complaints for a ruling and basically they said, well, tough,

(32:31):
you broke your banks the credit cards terms and conditions
because you let someone else have your card, you handed
it over, You handed over your card and so like
that's kind of the biggest thing from this whole story
is that we loophole. We all do this, but when
your card.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Is out of your possession, you're still responsible for your
card even when you've handed it over exactly, so they
reviewed the I mean maybe different credit cards are different,
but I'm sure they're all the same.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
If your card's not with you, my card, yeah, don't
lit firing if I know.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Well, that's the other thing, because I'm thinking after this,
maybe we just have like a debit card or some
kind of travel card car with no prey car. Do
you reget the take fifty.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
The money we're willing to spend on the prissy card
and not a dollar more.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
I know that hotels don't let you check in sometimes,
they don't do that in prizzy cards. So the if
is c L found that by allowing stuff to hold
the couple's card behind the bar for hours, the couple
had unintentionally breached the cards provided terms and conditions.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
So basically, it's it's the walked away from the card,
and that's your responsibility where the card is.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
So someone abuses it, then that's up to But then
who did the other transactions with other people coming in
and be tabs?

Speaker 4 (33:41):
I think so or it was just a genuine mistake.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
But everyone's gone now and the bar needs their money
and maybe the table number is wrong. I mean also
probably settle that up when you get your card back,
but you'll probably toasted after a whole day spending yes,
three thousand US dollars in a Miami days drinking spot.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Yeah, it would be so hard to argue when you
were like you were trolleyed when you leave. I know,
but I wasn't that trolleyed.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
But like, so I don't know, like a bars is
not going to serve your table, and they don't get
a credit card, right because they think you're going to
dine and dash, of course, But so what do you do?
You just hand over, like you get a travel card
with no money on it and give that to them
and then pay with your actual credit cards, right, a.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
Fifty dollar Prizzy card to spend a dollar more.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yeah, when that's out.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
Yeah, I've got a couple of bottles of Jameson's in
my back.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yeah. I always give them my card, even even if
we go thirds or whatever, Like, I'll just use my
card to hold it. It's fine, they're not going to
do anything, Honestly, other friends do that now, I think,
do you ever think this.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
When you go down to like a breakfast at a
hotel in the like room number all the time, all
the time to seventh threat.

Speaker 5 (34:46):
Yeah, just going in there the day before, cozying up
to some people at the pool, having a bit of
a chat, Oh what roomor you got we're over here
and they're like, oh, we're in room till what that
get the name of the next morning?

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Tick them up breakfast.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Sometimes the hotels have massive they have the big print
out of all the names, and if the server walks away,
just like Lucky, you look at Jeffries, Jeffries.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Jeffries an't coming to have a breakfast.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Say, you've got to hope the Jeffries are still sleeping.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
The z M podcast network plays z Ends flesh Worn
and Haley.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
I thought this was an odd pairing.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
You know how Variety does those interviews actors on actors
and they pair up different actors of the season and
they chat acting. So the recent pairing of Adam Sandler
and Ariana Grande was it wasn't. I was like, what
an interesting chat for them? Anyway, I watched some of it.
It was a really good chat. But at one moment,

(35:44):
Adam Sandler makes a six seven reference right, and Ariana
Grande admits she doesn't know what that is. She's like,
I don't know what that means, and everyone's like confused
by it, and she's like, I don't know. I'm just
I'm I'm just like scared of it and I can't
be bothered learning it.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
And I feel like in this wicked era that she's in,
she does play willfully ignorant some things, though, like the
wide eyed wonder if I don't know what you're doing? Yeah,
I don't know. I feel like some celebrities, you can
really tell they don't have an online presence and they
don't go home and they stay off the.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Phone, which they would have to do it they have it.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah, you have a dumb phone where you can call
your friends, but you don't go online. And I feel
like a lot of celebrities do that. Otherwise you would
see the worst things about yourself. You'd hate you'd hate life.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
She come to say, I don't know what this means,
is reacting to him saying something else, I'm scared what
is six seven?

Speaker 1 (36:37):
And she's like, actually, I don't want to know, Please
enjoy whatever. I want to know.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
What is the thing that you don't want to know
that you just don't want to learn. You've just gone
you know what. I don't want a bar of that.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
It's like when you meet someone and they're like, I
don't want to drive, Like I'm not friends, it's scared.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
I just I just don't. It's too late now I can't.

Speaker 1 (36:54):

forties is like, I don't see a need to learn
to drive. Yeah, I don't want to.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
What that lime scootering everywhere? That's bananas getting on.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
You need a car in like smaller towns, you need
a car. But it's just sort of it's not interested,
a little bit scared of it.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
It's just kind of like, ah, okay, we asked on
the gram. Okay, off, we'll kick it off. Well, we
get some textans, some calls coming in. Shan says how
cricket works? Yeah, I loves watching it and encourages me
to learn. If that I was recently a friend sat
down and watched the first ever game of cricket. He's
just like, how does it work? I was like, well,

(37:41):
they get six bolls each. She's like that guy had
more than six boles. One of the balls was a wide.
It's so hard to explain cricket from the ground up.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
I had to do that to a friend that was
visiting recently, and he's like, how does this work? And
when you were explaining it, you're like, you sound like
a crazy person. The rules. Yeah, because I'm like that
tennis scoring, I refuse to learn.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
It is not but you understand, but not tennis.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
Yep, fifteen thirty forty.

and then you've got to get advantage and another point.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
Then you get a man.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Yeah, I don't like, I don't know, and I refuse
to learn it because I'm like it's stupid. Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
I mean, someone just message and I think there'll be
a lot of people how to use the QR codes
at restaurants just like, becuse me.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Do you know what though? Like we just talked about
leaving your credit card behind the bar on a tab
and why that's bad, but like QR codes, you don't
have to do that at least no, and you pay
as you go.

screen at McDonald's. Can I please talk to a humor?

Speaker 1 (43:03):

the screen over the human because then you don't get
that like look of judgment when you're ordering a lot
of Nuggies.

does because we said it does.

Speaker 5 (43:41):

Speaker 2 (48:46):
The z M podcast network play z m's flesh Worn
and Haley.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
We had a meeting after work yesterday hymphab Hympha. But
we don't just get to leave. And before said meeting,
Fletch and I decided to just have a little one
on one date just to see if the vibes were vibing.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
Turns out they're not. We're just gonna stay friends. That's
I mean, it's good to know we had. We had
breakfast before we went to the gym. Okay a day
and that sounds like a breakfast date. Yeah, dates don't
have many, sure if you want all the Reddit rooms
to start up again, Like I.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
Mean, we went up for a quick little brecky and
as we were leaving the studio, my eye was drawn
towards the three big bins we have outside our studio.
Is a recycling, there's an organics, and there's a general
trash and in the general.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
And I would just say, do you reckon it actually
goes and recycling and because it just feels like.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
I don't know, not all the time, that's the general.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Yeah, because didn't they the local rubbish bins, didn't they
look into that track years ago. Every now and then
someone want to put a track or on something and
put in recycling that just ends up in the landfill.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
We only in Auckland, it's only one two five. Those
are the plastics. Those are the plastacks. Because you know
my parents have moved on.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
Three four six, stop to do that. We're putting our
succesive And I know about pizza boxes into going but
how changes can wait? What because if it had food,
greasy greasy food on it, I mean that the paper
couldn't be recycle.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
But I think they changed that.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
You're confusing. I just put it all on the bin
because we're gonna we're going to die soon anyway because
of AI.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
Well, we're not encouraging their behavior one too far anyway,
because I've been trying to explain to my mum and
even though she's washing the recycle with it, which was trying.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Oh my god, pets, it all ends up in a landfill.
You should put an Apple ear tag in one of
your washed out bottles one day and just see I'm
not getting rid of an Apple ear tag. They're expensive.
You put your on ear and it's part of a
similistic exposing.

Speaker 5 (50:55):
Yeah, maybe you'll get in the hero because I've already
said we're going to do it now, so they'll be
like chuck there recycling in the land.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Yeah, there'll no, no, no, will find one somewhere. You
remember what it was.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
It was those council installed bins and there was a
rubbish bin and a recyclingent beside it, and it was
they were putting them in council bins and they were
rolling it up in the land.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Yeah, that's what it was.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
That's what it was.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
Well, I'm not even talking about the recycling bin or the.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
Did you hear that?

Speaker 1 (51:23):
God was a little bit.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
Of off your on your blending here every day and
the eight o'clock hour Flitch cuts up an apple for
us to share as genuine friends. It's one of the
loveliest things we're doing. He hands me my slices before
and says, donat it. We're gonna be on ear.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Did you just hear that? Yeah, I know I crunched
into my apple, but only because Haley can't finish the
apple quickly and then talk on the radio.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Anyway, I'm talking about what was in the red bin,
which was these there's like beautiful kind of sort of
what's the word, like exotic bunch of flowers.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
And I just pulled it and I was like, what
the hell is this from? Because you had gone home.
So they were like they looked like they had maybe
a couple of days left in them. They didn't look fresh.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
They were fresh airs, but they had life in them.
And I think it's from our little four yer era
sometimes gets hired out for events, and I think an
event had been on and someone has dumped these flowers
or they were sent to a lover and there's there's.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Been enough apology flowers and they always trained the burn
like that.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
So I just pulled them out and I whit some newspaper.
I will say Flick called me out because he was like,
that's today's newspaper. You've always got to use a previous one,
and I just grabbed a fresh I worked for the
business that makes it. Yeah, and I took it and
I soaked that thing and I wrapped it up and
then I got to walk around a bit like, oh
my moles bought me flowers.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
And then at the elevator someone was like, lovely flowers's
so much.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
I know, Well, I'm a lovely gowl. Anyway, I took
them home. Patsy, my mom and I we did a
little bit of bringing to life. Look at that that
was just going to go into the trash. Put the
lovely vase or something.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
Water, and you've got a few days out of the home.

Speaker 3 (53:05):
I've got a few days out of them.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
And everyone walked around being like, who's the lover in
all and all? Because you're a grubby bin diver. I've
got bin flowers.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
I dumpster dive these flowers and they're still got life
in them and they're beautiful.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Just thing that looks lovely. It allowed to dumps to dive.

Speaker 5 (53:23):
So in New Zealand, apparently the problem with dumpster diving
is you often have to enter private property to do it,
and that's their legal part.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
So no, that's that's absolutely funny. So you're fine to
dumpster diving because do you remember that. What was it
the some of the clothing saws. People went through the
bins out the back and they were cutting up clothing
that they were throwing out rather than throw the whole
thing in the bin because then people couldn't dumps to
dive for it.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
Remember high in luxury brands do that.

Speaker 5 (53:53):
Yeah, they cut up like they were puffer jackets somewhere,
and they were worried about people who were living rough
getting their half for jackets and wearing them. Oh boo
boo hoo. Something you're going to throw on the bin
is going to keep someone warm at night? What a
terrible what a terrible bitter cut me mart. We've got
a few messages in by the way game.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Someone said they do soort home recycling fletch, and a
lot of it is sold to processing plants.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
The street ones tho, we are usually two contaminated, so
they're not bothering off that follow the rules.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
Yeah, one, two and five was standing out across the
entire country. And pizza boxes are fine as long as
they have food in it. Just a little bit of
oils fine. And someone takes and called me a trash pander.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
That's trash or as trash panda. That's what they call
raccolon tras.

Speaker 4 (54:35):
It's kind of cute.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
Trash pan trash panda. That's what can we rename Haley
in our group chat to trash trashan. I'm happy. I'll
take that.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Good play.

Speaker 1 (54:44):

Do you think they're a little your stuff will work
on it.

Speaker 1 (55:40):

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
When it was in the middle of a brutal heat wave.

Speaker 5 (01:02:53):
Okay, temperatures daily were averaging between thirty eight and forty degrees.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
Cells upper heat wave.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
Is heat. Yeah, here's the other thing, interestingly written about
a very famous young degree Christmas song.

Speaker 4 (01:03:09):
Yes, not a single mention of Christmas.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
It was just about snowing in the fireplaces. You're right.

Speaker 5 (01:03:16):
There's no Santa, no gifts, no snowman, no trees, no
reference to religious celebration, and no bells. As literally says,
it's snowing heaps outside, we're inside.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
Let's start making that on account. So it wasn't made
as a Christmas song. It was made because it was
so hot. They wanted it cold and snowing.

Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
They knew it would be a popular holiday song or
a winter song. Yeah, but they wrote it. They wrote
it in the middle of a heat wave, really wanting
it to cool down.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Yeah. Oh, you're so right.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
There is no Christmas reference at all, no holloo, nothing, nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:03:54):
So they are the two writers carnen Stein were working
on just writing songs together for people Dean Martin to record.
But this was originally recorded by Ben Crosby, right, and
he did White Christmas. He was the Michael Buble of
the day, he was, and they walked in and he said, look,
why don't we write a winter song. Let's call it
down because I'm like sweltering with the heat. And so

(01:04:16):
they did, and they wrote wrong. The first ever recording
of it was, Oh no, that's not that's that's the song.
I've got to do it another one about another day.

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
Rack a rat Now I'm into that.

Speaker 4 (01:04:28):
Yeah, I know that's a good one. That's a really
good Christmas song.

Speaker 5 (01:04:31):
The first ever recorded was the first ever recording of
the song was by a man called Vaughan. Oh Vaughn
Who Vaughn Monroe? Do you RECKONVA Monroe? Should I change
a stage name?

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Stage wrong? Though it was v A U G h N,
which I'm imagining still when you call up any sort
of help disc online and they look up your phone number,
or or you know, when you're chicken, when you at
Farmers and the lad do you have an account?

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
Do you have a Farmer's card?

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
And you say yeah, and then you look up your
number and then they look at you, and then they
look at your name, and then they look at you
and they go no. Vaughan Monroe was not related to
Marilyn Monroe.

Speaker 4 (01:05:12):
That's a shame.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
Yeah, despite sharing the surname that it's probably a popular
one of the time.

Speaker 5 (01:05:17):
Well, today's specter that is about this song let It Snow,
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, which was written in
the middle of an l a heat wave in the
absolute height of summer. It's not even about Christmas.

Speaker 8 (01:05:30):
In fact of the day day day day day, did.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Do needwork plays? It ends flesh worn and.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
Hayley, I think we're gonna we're going to do a
little of an anonymous phoner. I mean, you can tell
us your name if you want. But did you see
the story? The better we want to know what went
down at the Christmas party.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
Been talking to HR a while ago and they said
Christmas parties are the busiest time for them because a
lot of the time they're drinking, involved and things get
out of hand and people say things or do things,
and then they're super busy for the two weeks before Christmas.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
So we were out the other day, remember, and like
it's definitely Christmas party season. You see these big groups
yet together on Thursdays, Friday, Saturday.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
So one News Today story on this, the death of
the Christmas Party, and they spoke to someone who was
an event who's been in company events and you know
those eving companies that organize big companies events. They said
that there would be a time when big New Zealand
companies would regularly spend over a million dollars on a

(01:06:49):
Christmas party.

Speaker 5 (01:06:49):
I remember the big companies and years gone by that
have spent phenomenal amounts of money on't there.

Speaker 3 (01:06:55):
Yeah, but I used to work the wetter parties as
an actor because they got for Maddeck and you know,
it's pretty cool, immersive.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
Lots of things.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
One was like a spiritual guide, one was a Russian gymnast.
One year I was like a circus performance.

Speaker 4 (01:07:12):
I was just expecting one.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
So apparently most companies now are opting for like toned
down events, maybe even Christmas bonuses instead of big lavish things.
We did drink and breeze back yard, and that's the thing.
Do y celebrations just like, hey, let's just do this.
It'll be real quick and easy. Or maybe it's just
like a dinner. Yeah, b yo, do nothing yells me

(01:07:38):
one thousand dollars from when I hosted years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:07:40):
Just every I just remember.

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
That.

Speaker 4 (01:07:46):
Yeah, hasn't forgotten, like an elephant never forgets never.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
Ever. A lot of the reason the Christmas party has
has gone down the train is because Shenanigans.

Speaker 4 (01:08:00):
Went down.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
And that's what we want to know.

Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
What happened at your work? Do your Christmas work, do
your end of year function. We can be misbehaved yep.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
We can keep it in honest, maybe you regret your
actions at the work Christmas party at some stage? Oh
you no judgment from us? Yeah, we all know what
it's like.

Speaker 4 (01:08:18):
After a tiple.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
Only one hundred dollars at Emma's number, call us now
tick through nine six nine six?

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
What went down at the Christmas party? What went down
at the work Christmas party? Because they're a dying breed,
feel can't afford them anymore. Yep, companies pulling back and
trying to avoid scandalous stories like the ones that we're
getting on.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
To be honest, just reading these stories, I'm surprised anybody
who's a lot of Christmas Yeah, anonymous, good morning. What
happened at the work Christmas party? Is that you? You anonymous?

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:08:51):
So I worked for a really big company.

Speaker 4 (01:08:53):
Yes, and I one of my stuff who.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
Has decided that are getting naked and walking through a
crowd of that's the same hundred.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
That's pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (01:09:03):
Oh my god, that's pretty funny. How did that go
down after the event? Yeah, I mean it was awkward.
They showed up at work.

Speaker 6 (01:09:10):
So I was the following week, which I was pretty
impressed by, to be honest, I think I would have
just emailed my resignation.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
Yeah, same same. And did they did they like get
in trouble? Oh? I mean there was you know, beating
toms and things that, to be honest, that wasn't even
like the wildest thing that happened at those events. So
and go on, and this is why, this is why
we don't have Christmas parties anymore. Yeah, I mean all

(01:09:40):
the stories are about to tell you for reasons es exactly. Anonymous,
thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:09:45):
Somebody said this is a fresh one. This happened this year. Yeah,
this is a fresh eet. On Saturday night, my receptionist
told me she has a kinky sex dream about me
and my husband and watching me eat a hot dog
was turning her on.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
Oh that's so inappropriate. We just keep to ourselves.

Speaker 5 (01:10:02):
Also, there's nothing hot about watching someone at a hot
mustards on their face.

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
That's not hot at all.

Speaker 7 (01:10:09):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:10:10):
I churned it in the bathroom on the location we
had our Christmas p coded the whole room a week
later that then you shut down.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
I don't think that was because of your spew. It
might have been setic spew that melted pipes or something.

Speaker 5 (01:10:24):
One Christmas party a long time ago, I made out
with the boss's mistress on the dance floor. She worked
in the office, and the wife had found out her
about her a week or so beforehand.

Speaker 4 (01:10:31):
So good times, good times.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
Wow, there.

Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
There is a real fat message that's just come with.

Speaker 4 (01:10:39):
Yeah, you read it, you pre read it. I'm going
to read one of.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
The other messages.

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
Years ago, at my Christmas party in christ Church, my
workmate was already two sheets to the window now on
the body red bulls.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
By three pm. We lost them for a bit.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
Then I see a text message on my phone that
says help toilets. So I barge into the means toilets,
yelling his name. He's in a cubo who says come in,
No thanks, mate, anyway, I reluctantly do.

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
He's standing there looking sheepers. She asked what's wrong, and
he tells me he's caught his dick in a zipper.

Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
He looks at me earnestly and says, what's the options here? Now,
I'm not a doctor, but I'm sure as hell didn't
want to see it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
I said, wrap it down, plaster it up, and get
back to the party, or we got to hospital. He
opted for the hospital circumcision via levis just secret Central.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
Week later, someone bought him Valcro jeans.

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
Yeah, nice, nice, that's good stuff. We'll keep your thanks
coming in nine six nine six, eight hundred dollars. It
in what went down at the Christmas party.

Speaker 4 (01:11:36):
So we're talking about what went wrong at the Christmas party.

Speaker 5 (01:11:38):
I've got to say I love Someone said it was
a sit down dinner, but someone got too tank literally
shout themselves sitting at the table.

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
Everyone could all of a sudden smell it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:49):
They weld obviously pretty drunk, started looking super sheepish, got
on to excuse themselves.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
Just even let's quit your job or you ain't showing
back next year. I wouldn't go back the next day.

Speaker 4 (01:12:00):
It'll be done.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
I don't we get these ticks often. I have, but
I have I'm a drinker. I never shat myself from
drinking too much alcohol.

Speaker 4 (01:12:11):
Well, that just tells me.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
None of us responded as though we had.

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
I haven't, But it just sounded like you were really
being defensive there.

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
No, I've a myriad of things while I've had too
much to drink. Pooping myself at the dinner table is
definitely not one of them.

Speaker 5 (01:12:28):
Our Christmas foighty got canceled this year after at last
year's Christmas party, someone flashed the ceo.

Speaker 4 (01:12:32):
