MACAs rewards. Good morning welcome to the show Fleece Vaughn and Haley it's two

minutes past six. I'm here. Present. Vaughn you're here. I am here. Mentally are you

here? Yeah I am actually. Just doing your taxes. Your GST. Yeah I've left it a bit late.

Dude so late you're gonna get it fine. No you can wait into the month you can do it.

No you're gonna get a fine. No I won't. You're gonna get told off by the land revenue department.

Were you like this with your homework as well? What homework? Did you guys have homework? Yeah we did homework.

We did homework. I didn't understand why we had homework. I'm a kid I'm supposed to be out enjoying life. Yeah.

Anyway yes I have been naughty and I've left it late so I am here but I'm also working on that.

So you're half here. Yeah. Half here. Coming up on the show silly little poll are the big important issues

always with silly little poll. How do you like your dumplings cooked? Pan fried? Steamed?

All dumplings are welcome in my gob. Yeah I think it depends on what kind of dumpling you're having.

Same. Yeah we'll delve into this soon with our poll results. Next though a New Zealander believed he was

accepting an award on behalf of New Zealand for our fantastic COVID response. Wow. And he was flowing to Thailand.

Oh my god I love Thailand. Yeah well it didn't all go to plan. No this is an insane story and I'll tell you the details of it next.

Gotta watch out for the the old ones in your life. You really do. Falling for these scams.

This will be a great episode of Border Patrol. I'll call it. Australia does a good Border Patrol.

We're doing OK Border Patrol. Australia does a really good Border Patrol. Yeah they do. Yeah their work is very aggressive.

Yeah because we're just like oh what you got in the year you got no food. And then they've got food. All sorts of delicious edible bits and pieces.

Yeah I love Australia gets more drugs and more like people breaching and lying about who they are and why they're there.

We get all the tourists coming with a pack of mushrooms and a little bit of you know cured meat. Yeah not even the good mushrooms.

It's not that exciting. Yeah not even the best ones. Yeah so we're talking about Portobello's. Yeah it should okay for me.

We should rank mushrooms on Friday. I only really know about three different kinds. That's what you need. He's a button bit. He is a button bit.

He's a big oyster. Oysters very posh. Oysters posh. Oysters posh. Sometimes I'll branch out and go a brown button. Yeah oh my god you spicy boy.

You peel the skin off don't you? No absolutely not. Give it a good wash though. I don't wash my mushrooms. They're terrible. They're absolutely covered in dirt.

They're literally grown in shit. You gotta wash them. Delicious. So this happened in July but 18 months prior to July.

I'm not going to tell you what happened in July just yet. You know what's something to do with Border Patrol. 18 months prior to July.

So I don't know. Go back a full year and then six more months. So the start of the previous year. January or February 2022 let's say.

George gets a WhatsApp message. Oh no. From Chang. I know George's last name is Chang. Yep. And the person says hey we would love for you to come to Thailand to accept a COVID response award for New Zealand from the UN.

Oh fantastic. You need to go to Bangkok. We did do well. We did do really well. We need you to go to Bangkok to sign the certificate and pick up prizes.

Okay. For the other people back home. He worked for the Ministry of Health or the government. Nope this guy. Nope he's a 77 year old. Okay.

So he doesn't have a job. He's retired. Yes. Okay. Why. It's crazy they chose him.

Well I guess it doesn't affect productivity if you take someone who's already retired you know. Yeah that's right. So he would he wouldn't have to take time off work.

And so he's like this is my right trip to Bangkok. Yeah. But they pay for flights. Yes. It actually doesn't say who paid for the flights. But surely.

So when he was in Bangkok a woman came to his hotel and gave him a black carry on bag with gifts for the officials that he would be meeting in Australia on his way home.

Okay. And they said don't open them because they're not your present stuff for somebody else. I mean instantly a lot of red flags here.

When you get to the officials in Melbourne you will get 23 million dollars and a certificate. My God. Wait is he getting the 23 million.

Is that for the government. No that's for him. 23 million US dollars. So what almost give that a good round up. Let's say he's 40 million dollars here.

He's getting paid a baby. Yeah. He's doing it. Yeah. So then he's flying back to meet these officials and the Australian Border Force officers in Australia say sorry Eric there's something in your luggage and we need to check it out.

And he's like those are the presents. Shit. You can't open up the people's presents. You can't open up the people's presents. I wonder at what stage he told them 23 million dollars was waiting for him and a certificate.

They didn't open the presents. So they were like well Eric we've got to open the presents because we're we have reason to believe it's drugs.

Why would it be drugs. It's an award. It's presents. It turned out to be two kilograms of pretty good heroin heroin. Yeah dude heroin.

Not even like one of the fun ones. Not even mushrooms. Do we even have heroin in New Zealand. Seems ridiculous. I've never seen anyone do heroin but I do live in a bubble.

I don't see people do a lot of things. I've never even seen P but apparently it's everywhere. Apparently. I've never seen anybody do it. No neither. I've probably met someone who's on it and didn't even know.

That's a very high chance. I've never seen anybody do it. I've never witnessed a murder. But people occasionally do it. Maybe not as much as P.

So then he was arrested and because of the drugs and his luggage and this paper thin story that he's telling about how he went to Thailand to pick up an award on behalf of New Zealand and he's in big trouble obviously.

So he's facing what like the rest of his life in jail. He says he's the victim of a scam 25 years up to 25 years for that amount of controlled substance being caught with that coming into Australia.

I mean but come on like come on. Like you can feel sorry for the guy but this is a bureau.

Oh he's old though. He's old. But come on. That's old. He's old. Yeah but surely by the age of 77 you know that he had previously fallen for online scams but this one probably will have more severe consequences.

I'd say so. Yes. He's been held an immediate security remand centre in Melbourne's west where religious offenders wait to face court. Right. Yeah. He will probably be in jail on a 78th birthday.

So because that's coming up. Why didn't they let him go and then follow him and see who is giving the drugs to.

Follow the drugs. Follow the money. Follow the money and the drugs. Yeah. Like those are the people you really want. Yeah. Yeah.

But I guess they've just got to make sure a story or has he had done any crime before. No. No. No previous records. He's probably just a dot dot real man who just got a bit confused. Yeah.

There's a down the bottom of the article. There's a picture of his of his luggage. Yeah. I've got questions as to why there are three glass bottles in there.

That's giving me my father-in-law energy. Bring home something he really doesn't need to bring back to New Zealand because we've already got it here. Yeah.

Oh but it's different there, Vaughan. It's different in Thailand. Yeah. It's really indistinguishably like the pain in the ass you're going through putting glass bottles in your baggage you're going to be significantly more.

Would your father-in-law have fallen for this? He loves Thailand. He loves Thailand. He would have fallen through when he would have asked if he's been flowing for an upgrade to business.

And then because he knows the hotels in Thailand they would have been like we're going to put you in the Marriott or whatever and he would have been like ahhh.

It's a little bit nicer. I mean come on. I'm getting an award. And honestly you've been with him. They would have been millions of dollars. He would have been such a pain in the ass to deal with for the drug dealers.

They would have been such a pain in the ass. They probably would have just been like just let him go. Just send him home. Don't give them the drugs. They'll lose them.

Quarter past six next on the show are some plumbers have gone viral for teaching us all what we can't use our insincerators for.

Do you have one? Yes. Do you have one in the new kitchen? No. You're on old waste. Plus we've got a bougie sink remember.

No you've got a bougie. You can't put one in there. It's kind of led people to go well what's the point of these things? Apparently you can't put anything down there.

Yeah they're weird. Go through the list next.

Well some plumbers have gone viral on Tiktok. There's a company, six plumbers and they were like answering questions from just I guess your followers or just people online.

And the question was what is the one thing you should never put down your garbage disposal which we just call as sinkerators right? Yeah. And sinkerators are brand.

It's a brand but that's just what we all call it. Like Gladwrap. I remember when I moved to Auckland I was like what are all these things man?

We never had them in Wellington. They just were not really that popular and then every house they went into in Auckland had them. Really? Yeah. I've never had one.

I don't think we didn't have one growing up. We had a scrap spin. My grandparents I was just thinking we're on a septic tank so we've been told we can't have one which makes no sense because you want some organic material in there to break it down and everything.

But my grandparents had one growing up and they were on a septic tank. Fun. Especially when you drop a teaspoon down.

Out of all the out of the six plumbers half of them said I wouldn't put anything in my waste disposal in my in sinkerator. Yeah.

Anything. Then they listed off the things that you definitely should not put down there and it's kind of left the internet thinking well what's the point of having these things?

What is the point? What is the point? So a lot of things that you can't put down there egg shells. Yeah. I knew that. Because they do they clog up the

I guess all the little shards maybe at an eye. Yeah. Starchy foods, shellfish, coffee. I always put my coffee down there. Coffee grounds. Why can't you put those down there? Why wouldn't you?

Why aren't you supposed to put starchy food down there? Because it would be cloggy. Starchy even fatty. It says oily and starchy foods because they clog up the drains. Yeah.

Maybe I guess if there was no water and there was still potato on the potato. Starchy potato on the pipes and maybe it hardened. Yeah, maybe.

Egg shells, banana peels because they're stringy vegetable peels. They can all clog plumbing. Things that are okay. Fruit, fruit pips, vegetable scraps, corn cobs.

That's okay. I wouldn't do a corn cob down there. Too much. You'd have to trust the blade. They say small bones are okay. I wouldn't do bones. I wouldn't do any bones. Don't do bones.

Yeah, and this kind of left millions of people reacting to this TikTok saying, well, what's the point of having this thing then?

I would have a lovely, lovely deep sink. It wouldn't go in there. And then people commenting on this video saying, well, I've rent, so I put everything down there. Oh yeah. Fair enough, not my problem.

Which you would do, right? Because it's not your pipes or your house, so you don't care. Don't you put eggshells in the garden? In the garden, yeah.

Crush them up. Well, it keeps the snails off the things. They can't crawl over them because they're sharp. But also, nothing you can do with eggshells so I've been told, check with any vet's list thing, is powder them, like proper powder them.

Like grind them to nothing. Yeah, to nothing. And then you can like mix them with a bit of dog food for a bit of extra calcium for your puppies.

But like super grind them. But why don't you just buy dog food with calcium in it? Yeah. Well, I think the cheap stuff doesn't have calcium in it. That's why you don't see white dog food anymore.

Do you think your dog's the cheap stuff? Shit, yeah. No, times are tough. In all honesty, dog food's got crazy expensive. Is it? Yeah. So I think cat food's the same. It's gone up like 10% or something. Yeah, last for a while.

We have a bougie mix. We do a custom mix. For your cat? For Rolly, yeah. Custom mix. You're not one of those people that buys supermarket meat and feeds it to your cat, are you? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He doesn't eat meat. He only likes ham.

Yeah, maybe he's on a fully dry diet. That's why every time he shits, he's like, his ass is in tatters. Yeah. Silly little poll is next. Dumplings. Yum, yum, yum. It's all about dumplings next.

Silly little poll, silly little poll. It is so silly, silly, silly. That is silly little poll, silly little poll, silly little poll, silly little poll. Silly little poll, silly little poll.

Silly little poll, silly little poll. How do you like your dumplings cooked? A very good question. And excellent clue. The phone is trying to guess when you play. Guess who?

Boiled yeah, pardon me. Yeah, I would have left off boiled, but

Like a like a fast place you get a boiled but they get a steamed

Stained steamed boiled or pan fried the winner is pan fried

You're gonna be pan fried it is 77% of people say pan fried

I do like a bit of crunch

But every now and then I like a soft or like an oil like a chilli oil dumpling that's got to be steamed

I think the best steamed ones are the bougie ones. Yeah

Yeah

We're gonna yum char again soon. Yeah, and because yum char down here I

Didn't think it was coincidence last time we went the woman came over and said would you like soup dumplings?

Just to us just to our table and I'm like, yeah three lots were huge soup dumpling eaters

And I think she remembered the time before we went when I asked if they were doing soup dumplings and she said yes

And I said three lots. So I just think she knows me as soup dumpling guy. Yeah, he doesn't God. They were good

You just I know because I'm a white man in control. Yeah, I've got my

I've got my Asian father-in-law there. Yeah, and my plethora of

Mixed race yeah, wife and family members. Yeah, I take control. Yeah, and she's like she likes it

Yeah, I know I like I like going out for dinner when you order. It's giving me big coloniser energy

I

Dumplings, yeah

So they've got to be steamed they can't be they simply can't be pan-fried

21% of people said steamed and 2% said boiled

2%

The same one as your mom who boiled the hell out of Brussels sprouts and then wonder why no one would eat them

Right some feedback

Jennifer says crunch factor no more to be said. Yeah, she likes a bit of crunch

Sometimes if you're getting one of those like coriander ones that needs to be steamed. Yeah

Some of them just require a softness and some acquire crunch. Yeah. Ah, like life really

Mickey says all of the above usually get six of each because I'm a fat man stuck in a skinny man's body. Yeah, lucky bugger

Lucky you lucky bastard

Courtney says pan-fried a poku though when you get

A little arms and weird little guts. Yeah, skinny man weird guts. You'll get that little fat guts

Yeah, I agree with a poku. Yeah, and you still have a really small pants, but your guts will hang over the pants

Yes, they will. Yeah, you have to get bigger shirts. You could like what's happening here?

Yeah, you'll be hanging the shirt because of the little guts

Yeah, pan-fried for sure says Courtney are boiled are like slimy disgusting brains. No, thanks. Oh

Yeah, they are they slimy. Yeah, Owen said pan-fried until brown then put water in a pan to steam shallow boil

I know you do it the wrong way around how you pan-fry as you put water in it the water boils off

And then you left with the oil and then it's cooked steamed and then you pan-fried it bloody stir fry

You're gonna have to run there. You're back to front. Oh back to front. Oh, and

What are you back from I will say though, I know supermarkets are doing amazing dumplings. Yeah, they are now

Yeah, you're my favorite brand because some of them will just fall to bits

Yeah, I got the Asian grosses and they go go into the freezer. Yeah, it's good one in Mount Albert in Auckland

You go into the freezer and they've got real good real good dumps

Prefer steamed but boiled as the home substitutes in now now need some steaming baskets

Yeah, was it just after the first lockdown I bought all those steaming baskets. How did they go dude?

They ruled the bamboo steam bus. Oh, yeah, we've got those you can make a pile of them

Yeah, you just stack them stack them right up on top of a pot of boiling water

And just let them go your biggest ones you're um

Your steam the pork steam buns down the bottom because they need the most steam. Yep, and then your smallest dumplings at the top

You pretty much you might oh, yeah, yeah, she might down the bottom. It's pure meats. Yeah. Yeah, I love boiled dumplings

Especially in soup. Hey, if we're talking if we're talking like a wonton soup, we're talking a different game all together

Yeah, stop it. Ah, that's from Rhiannon. I'm getting real hungry now

Darwin literally just had breakfast. I've literally never eaten in my life. That's how I feel

Hannah says any way possible. Just put them in my mouth. Yeah agree on that good summary. She doesn't even want to she doesn't want to touch them

Just one off secret Santa that is today's top

This is actually really sweet there is a

There is a three-year-old girl

who

Like a lot of three-year-old girls goes to bed and then the parent will say what story do you want for story time?

Hmm, right and

This girl usually chooses a merry, you know one of the myriad of books of books that she has

Do you have to do this every night so they fall asleep? Oh, no, it's just nice is bonding time and they appreciate books and reading

Player podcast or something. Yeah, I play podcast. Okay. I like to play my daughter. Joe Rogan

Generally they'll fall asleep after 45 minutes and then they just learn subliminary from blooming either really from the best

It's a blimmy. Yeah, that's right. They wake up wiser. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah wiser to the world in its wicked ways

Yeah, and I find them in the freezer in the morning. I'm like, how are you doing in there? And they're like, I'm cold treating myself

COVER SHAT!

Anyway

This little girl when she was asked by her mother what she wanted to be read. She wanted the iced

coffee

machine

instruction manual

Okay, so she so the mum read like literally got the manual and it was like

Insert the pot into

the capsule. Yeah, push down hard on the thing and the girl's like

Like often at the sleeper like loving it and now apparently she's obsessed with this book. Weird kid

And so every night she has to read the coffee machine manual coffee machine manual, right so that the daughter can get to sleep

I'm sure there's something in there about cleaning it thoroughly to

And every now and then running a decalcification

Yeah, yeah, that's important. Actually ours is due for decalc. That'd send you to sleep pretty quickly. Yeah, it would indeed

Anyway, I thought everyone was like what a weird kid man

Like have the rainbow fish or something or like the hungry caterpillar or Harry McClary. Yeah, not the coffee machine thing

I'm trying to think about the weirdest thing I would do as a kid. I don't

Know that I was that weird. I

Was extra. It's certainly likely with you. It's very likely. It's very believable. Yeah for sure

I would say a story about it. Yeah, that's you. Yeah, I can think of a myriad, but none of them are like weird weird appropriate. Oh, okay

I've talked about this in stand-up before you know when you're a kid and you just sort of start humping the couch and you're like

Quite like that. Yeah

You know what I mean when you were you kid you first work out that you like explains a lot now though. Yeah

Yeah, I like that. Yeah, sit on this and sit on the arm of the couch for a little bit longer

I was like get off the couch. You know, don't tell me what to do

I used to roll around when the vacuum cleaner was getting done sniffing the air that got blown out

I know that smell I can smell it right now sitting around just like wiggling around behind the vacuum and like

Yeah, weird kid. Okay. That's a weird kid thing

I want to know if I think we should take some calls and get some messages of I were you a weird kid

And what's the weird thing used to do? Okay. I'll 800 dahls at M. Give us a call now. You can text through 9 6 9 6

Weird kids rejoice we want to hear from you. What's the weird thing you did?

Maybe and maybe you don't remember because you were so young, but your family reminded you

You know just like you were a weird kid man. Yeah, we're to read you the coffee machine manual to sleep

I want to know if you're a weird kid, man

There's a weird kid that likes the coffee manual reto every night so she can go to sleep. Yeah, this is a three year old

Yeah, weird kid. Yeah, we kid. I knew lots of weird kids

But when you're growing up, you don't think you're the weird kid until you realize you're the weird kid

No, maybe your parents have had to remind you how weird you were

Some Instagram responses because we asked on the grand

Shannon says I decided I was a cat kind of gut and I only want my cat costume every day and meowed or hissed

That's actually very similar to you corner. Are you pretending to be an animal as a kid?

Yeah, I pretend it to be a dog

For how long

Well, I don't know how long but I was about six years old

We were we lived on a farm. So there was a lot of dogs around right and I

Would run out in the driveway on all fours barking. Yeah, even they came out the drive

Because your father showed the dogs more affection than he showed to you perhaps made more attention and affection

No, but he was the one that got me to stop

Had a bad day at work on the on the farm of thing

And he came home in a bad mood and he yelled at me saying you get on my feet. I'm a human being and I need to do it again

Dad killed that

Dads do put a stop to things

Regrets it yeah corner. Thank you, Rochelle. Rochelle. What was your weird kid thing?

As a kid, I was obsessed with the feeling of raw chicken skin

Like when mum would get a roast chicken ready

She would always let me know as I could come and like rub my hands over the chicken

I just love how it felt. I would have discouraged it

If I walked in and I see one in the oven, they didn't get to touch I'd get really upset

Are you obsessed with scrotums?

A chickeny feel to them

But also slippery scrotum

I think I really love one of those skinless cats, because I think

They are the scrotum of cats. They really are, Rochelle. Thank you for sharing. I don't know if I would have shared that one

Colt what you're a weird kid?

Well, we had weird horses

So we used to buy the 20 kilo bags of the horse carrots and I used to just kind of grab them out of the bag start eating them

And I've got a vitamin in them for keratin

Well, it turns out if you have too much of that in your body, it makes you go orange

Wait you actually win orange. Yeah. Yeah for like three months straight

I was having probably a good like 25 30 carrots a day. I'd be taking them for school

Everything and yeah, orange. And do you like carrots now?

Oh, yeah, still a fan. Yeah. Do you have a photo of you as an orange 12 year old?

I do there is one in the family out a photo album. Brilliant. Okay, send it our way on the grand play

Brilliant Colt, thank you some messages in Jordan. I used to walk down the street singing loudly

I genuinely thought a talent scout would just drive past and find me that was gonna be my

Story of how I got famous. It's so extra. I love that Katie when I need to go toilet

I'd cool up and sit on my heels and say I've got the

Instead of just going to the toilet

Like that's something you would have done

Yeah

Jessica fully believed for a long time and in primary school that I could control the wind with my thoughts

When it was rainbow Mufti day at school, I dressed up as a clown

Full rainbow wig and makeup and I actually like didn't even care what anybody said and Gabby said I used to paint my pet chicken's toenails

I sell my most reading glasses when I second six and started wearing them to school and told everybody I was blind

I'm found out at a parent-teacher interview when the teacher asked how I was getting on with the adjustment of my glasses

And my mother was like what she can see fine

Then my teacher realized how big my glasses were and we're like oh that makes sense because they were way too big they didn't fit

When I was a kid I put rubber gloves on my feet and walk around

Sounds a little bit like you want to be a chicken or something. Yeah, my sister had a pet tree named Andy

It was just a twig stuck in the ground. She used to feed it

Fertilizer and such weird

From the ages five to seven I used to lick my lips aggressively to the point

I ended up with a red sore ring around my mouth. I have three

Yeah, when I was five my unborded boyfriend to stay he was probably in the early

It is early 20s. I wouldn't leave him alone

I tried to win him over by catching field mice and crabs and insects and giving it giving him the gifts

I even managed to catch a wild rabbit and I was like

Isn't the dead animal thing a sign that you're a psychopath? Yes, or a serial killer

When as a kid I was invited to a furry dress-up party or a fuse to dress up as a fury

And I wanted to go as a clown, so mum made me a clown outfit and then there's all these photos

Ferries weird kid when I was nine. I was so protective over my school desk. I'd lick the whole thing so other kids wouldn't touch it

I

Used to love the feeling of my grandma's prickly hair legs through her stockings

I'd sit on the floor between her legs and just rub my hand on her shin. I

use also used to carry around a

Oh my god, like spiky ears

I used to carry around a pastry brush for a similar sensory throwing rubbing it on my face like painting my face with invisible paint

Sounds like you've got ADHD. I had sensory issues

I used to be obsessed with horses not just playing with horse toys, but I'd make all my friends act out like we were all horses all the time

I used to eat cat cookies. They're not called cat cookies

I wouldn't either as I wouldn't admit to as a four-year-old for Christmas

I wanted the shark navigator steam mop with pocket insert the center at Westfield had a real hard job

Navigating what it was that I exactly wanted. Oh, they would have seen the um, the infomercials. Yeah. Yeah

Um, I was used to want to go for a picnic at the hill. The hill was a cemetery and I used to like talk to the graves

You're a bit of my oldest we used to wonder every night when we put into bed

It'd be like daddy read me the tractor book. It was the John Deere brochure

All the different brochure of all the different tractors. Um, I used to

Sniff the lemon-scented laundry pattern get a little close sometimes a little laundry pattern up the old schnoot

If you lines of

I was a weird kid. I'm helping home kill before school

Our shit was right on the bus route. I got bullied for being able to feed myself at seven

I

Mean it'll be a normal farm thing wouldn't it to be able to feed yourself. Yeah. Yeah

But yeah, they used to do the home kill. They used to get the hands on and everything and

Thank you to all those weird kids. Yeah, look, we were all we were all a bit weird

And at least we've all grown up to be well-rounded humans except the one that licked the desk

Shannon sometimes needs guidance in life

As we know of you Shannon you tend to get a bit lost

Sometimes you don't know things that others may assume you should know. Yeah, I feel like I had an alternative

Upbringing so sometimes I just have

You

But you weren't where you went to normal school. No, you know, we're gonna get complaints from Steiner

I've got the most respect for Steiner. I wish I went to Steiner. I would have made more sense of myself

Where I'd be if I would have gone to a Steiner school, I don't know what that means

A little bit better. Yeah, probably a little bit better a little bit more

You just play shut down at the idea of it. No the public. I think it's good. It's good at the public schooling

They teach you not to touch. Yeah

Don't touch. No. Yeah, well, that's gay

That's what they say at the public schools. Now Shannon yesterday

You hopped into your vehicle innocently just desiring to your home

Yeah, I was tired ready to go home

And then I see a little critter poke his head up right in between my windshield and like the dashboards

Was it a squirrel? Was it a squirrel? I wish it was a cockroach

I'm pretty good with bugs. Yeah, me too. Like they don't scare me or anything

I just felt like rank because my window had been left down the day before so I think he crawled in

Yeah, so he was in between the dash and the windscreen. Yeah, I just panicked and I knew I had sprayed deodorant to my handbag

Ready to go. So I just sprayed it across my whole car not thinking and he like

And then white went everywhere like I didn't realize deodorants like a powder he goes

I don't know my car is covered in like a film of deodorant and I had just put a new air freshener in the car the day before

So it was already fragrant like yeah, yeah, big strawberry smell and now I've got like a cool charm smelling car

And there's deodorant everywhere. I don't know if I killed him. I don't know if they were definitely done this

I've definitely tried to kill a bug with both deodorant and like a spray and wipe, you know, like a bloody Ajax or something

You're gonna drown them. You try to drown them in chemicals

Yeah, you do. We have to do at the time crutches would survive though. Yeah, cuz you can't they

Survive a nuclear a new fallout. Yeah, not the explosion itself, but they could live in a nuclear wasteland, right?

But you reckon they could survive cool charm or

I mean, let's talk about

Still rocking a cool charm is any equivalent of a

Still wearing links Africa. Yeah, but there's something good about it, you know

No, it's a link remember mum

Yes, I remember my mum used mum and when I first started using deodorant. I was like mom

That's what deodorant is. Well, we had the hello kitty one. That was big when I was a teenager

Wow, but yeah, so now I'm a bit nervous that I've got like a really cute smelling cockroach just still living

Also, how do you clean this Jared recommended a little baby wipe or something?

But I haven't got that far yet cuz I'm nervous to get down there home with that white

Yeah, cuz you sent a photo in the green chat and there was a lot of window that was

Blocked out with white

Yeah, maybe lean in and put more and then do a little Christmas decal

Yeah, but then I got a bit dumb and like this will surprise no when I try putting my wind

You're not at the stage a bit dumb. No, I put my window wipers on to try get rid of it

And that's when you realize the window wipers are on the outside

Maybe I don't know if that

Condensation or something good fix it. I'll just wipe it

There might be a cockroach down there, but it's just a little cockroach. You'll be alright. Yeah, but what if he bites me?

Don't they bite?

No, I don't want you to see my car for

Vaughn already roasted. No, they've already been in my car. It's really messy. No, it's just a bit tragic

She's got heaps of radio station stickers on the back window. I have like soft toys in there

And I'm nervous he's living with the soft toys. What if he's in one of the rabbits, it's just

Well good I'll say it again. Good thing. She's pretty

Good luck. Good luck

But puzzled lasagna toppers. Oh, I think we know it was like a little zone

It was like a deep-fried lasagna. It was like a lasagna and then coated

Yeah, I kept in the pie wall from the petrol station those are pretty legit. Yeah, and the tuck shop we had like we had

You could order food, but we also had a tuck shop where you could get like slices and cookies and pies

Frozen juicies made in Nelson. They were now they were they were Nelson terrible for you. Why not a juice?

Do they still have lollies and tuck shops? Well, I don't know because we had the standard pies

We also didn't call it a tuck shot. We call it a canteen

Exclusive I think we were tuck shop and then we had the giant lollies. I always remember giant winegums giant Jeffers

Yeah, yeah, and a seed wheels. No. Yeah, those are old. Those are that's weird. Hey. Whoa. Oh, yeah, I think it was primarily for me

Yeah, yeah, you know dollar mixes. Oh, yeah, maybe we had a dollar. I can't they wouldn't sell any more though

Donuts, I think they were done. Yeah. Yeah cream donut and a pie. That was your ultimate

Like it, you know, like a biscuit slice, you know, like a chocolate

Biscuits on it. Yeah, the chef would cook them for

Someone said I used to work in the factory of the bad mooses and juices

Same factory

Machines are wiped between milk and juice or there's just a couple of juicy milk ones in there

Producer Joe, do you mean to because yours that doesn't sound very private school? No, it wasn't like we didn't have I mean

Brand pie Jesus no, we had

Unbranded. Yeah, I think I think I was a pecking saves. Yeah, I think we bought they bought those family pies and then

Yeah, put them in a white bag. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and then during summer. They reactivated the frozen cola machine

And zinging on sugar and then in the height of a brisk Auckland winter that turn the potato and gravy machine back on

Yeah

So good

How the other half educate a

Somebody said cookie time cookies kept in the pie warmer and a few different people have messaged this in with the ultimate

Was the actually? Yeah, good stuff. Yeah

I'm currently a teacher at an intermediate with a canteen winter or summer kids

Throth the juices and the mooses. Yeah, it's still going. It's a Kiwi institution. Those things. Yeah, it is man

Delish. Yeah. Oh, what else we got in here? Is somebody else big cookie now big cookie can't can't go wrong

Um, I went to a private school in Singapore. We had everything from fried rice pasta cheese to see Frank

Fancy drinks. It was very cheap as well. Yeah, let's get a grip. Yeah, that's really

at Barateen

Yeah

You could get vocals with marmite and cheese

So a couple were on a road trip in

Thailand and

They were driving along and it was a really long drive. Yeah, and the wife took a sleep in the back seat

Yeah, she was like lying down across the thing shouldn't do that. Okay, so they're holidaying there. No, they're from

Oh, they're from there. What do you would you rent a car in Thailand?

I'm just trying to think not a Bangkok. Not in Bangkok

Scooter scooter now they were going like through the jungle basically like through

Right big land not cities, right? Okay. Anyway, so about 3 a.m. In the morning

The husband's driving and nature calls. He needs to take a wee-wees

Yeah, so he pulls up the car and pops out goes for a ways

Yeah, right gets back in the car and takes off again

100 miles now how how far is that 100 miles?

Yeah, so 160 kilometers away. Yeah, he realizes his wife's not in the back of the car

What happened to her? So when he went out to go for a wee she woke up and was like, oh, yeah, I'll go for a wee as well

Ruff a little bit to the wards the jungle because you know, we girls we got a popper squash not in the jungle

What you just stand and pee down your leg?

No, but I just on the side of the right

I'm gonna open that into a jungle. Well, she just went in a little bit

The problem being though the husband didn't realize she'd done this so he drove for

so long and then she came back and

Found the car was missing. Yeah, even worse. She left her phone in the car and had no money on her

So then she had no choice but to trek for 13 miles in the middle of the night into the center of a town

At about five o'clock in the morning. So she's been trekking for about two hours

She finally found a police station and was like, I don't know where my husband is

So and she didn't know her husband's phone number by heart

Called her own phone 20 times. He didn't answer

Luckily finally they managed to get hold of him. He was a hundred miles away 160k away

And then he had like noticed and was slowly like retracing his steps back right to try to find her

So like she didn't hold a grudge and they kind of got on but I would be

How long would it take you to get over that

When I die

You'd be forever alone in a jungle in the middle of the night would be terrifying. Yeah

Yeah, if you weren't, you know planning to do it for some sort of reason every argument

Going forward. Yeah, always you'd always be able to say remember that time you left me in a jungle

Yeah, now they're in their fifties this couple and they've been married for 27 years before this happened, right?

So like there's a base there. Yeah, good Lord. I would lord it over Aaron. I would I just anything he did

Yeah, anything he said

Hey, why don't you stay in this weekend? Hey, why don't you not leave me on the side of the road in a jungle?

Yeah

Why don't you help me do the housework?

Hey, why don't you help me by not leave me on the side of the road in a jungle and you reckon you could do that for the

Rest of your life together. I reckon you divorce me after a while, but yeah, I wouldn't let it go. Yeah

Anyway, I've never I don't think I've lean left behind like this, but it happens all the time

Yeah, especially road trips like people don't realize and then they're like off and they're going oh my god

We want to know when you were left behind

maybe someone just forgot you and

Maybe you drove off and left somebody track. Yeah, you were the person

It's a sign you've got too many kids if you leave a kid behind. Yeah. Wow. We all know what happens

Yeah, I think if you were a kid left behind, you know at that point, you're not the favorite, right? Yeah, totally

Yeah, they literally don't care that my parents are obsessed with me

They'd never leave me behind

We have asked when you have been left behind somewhere by someone

There's a couple in Thailand the man drove off for bloody 160 kilometers

Kilominators not realizing that am his wife wasn't in the back

Sandra, this has happened to you. How long?

Um, that was a little while ago, but I'd flown to see my husband

He was fishing away and now

Had worked all day and flown down to Nelson and arrived. I think it was like we're just before midnight. Yeah, and I

rang him and

He didn't answer and I waited and I waited and I waited probably three hours

All three hours, he was all jolly

He's been having a few drinks with a friend that he'd met down there that he hadn't seen for a very long time

And we were supposed to be going skiing

So we were supposed to go to some I I didn't even know where it was. It was

It was way away from where he was

so

He gets out and he's wobbling over he's like

Hi, I'm like, mm-hmm. Oh

Yeah, it's what you first want to hear from your partner when you haven't seen them for a little while

He's like, okay, and then I give me the keys so I took the keys off of me site. Do you know where you're going?

Of course, I don't I've never been to Nelson before so I started driving and he fell asleep. Of course

So I was actually a snooze. Mm-hmm. Yeah, he had a really good snooze and I drove and I was

Like just driving because he said it's just straight. So I was like, okay

Famously terrible directions

Yeah

And I started going through like a forestry area and I was like this can't be it

So I turned around and I went back to this little town and there was nothing open

But there was some people having a party. So I thought I'll just stop at a party and

I went in and the guys were really nice and they thought they thought it was hilarious that he was asleep in the car drunk and

And

They gave me really good directions, but they asked me if I needed a drink first

Now Sunay

What the hell is happening?

I know so I finally found the place which was just in the middle of nowhere

Yeah, and he he wakes up and he's like, oh, are we here?

You get the bag

I

Got left behind

Sandra, thank you Mel. When did you get left behind?

Five years old my brother was about eight and we lived in a small town called T-Row and our parents booked us in for a holiday program

But the holiday program and actually moved to Patatou and so they just dropped us off of the door

Went to Hamilton for the day to big fresh to the monthly shop for the whole day

and a police officer saw us about two minutes after they dropped us off and

He was my dad's best friend and we spent the whole day at the police station

Yeah, when you said big fresh I was immediately taken back to the 90s

And

So yeah, we spent the whole day at the police station and then they came back to pick us up at the time

you know the holiday program was finished about a half three and

We were there with the police officer

How was the program you're like we didn't go

I would have been way better than a school holiday program, too

Well, I just like to bring it up every time like my dad gets like people think he's really trustworthy and like a really good guy

Now thanks you called John when were you left behind?

Hey, oh, I was a about 16 years old

And we were on a school trip

We went a rock climbing in Derbyshire

And we we're saying at a campsite

And then the teachers in the evening they took us to the local pub, which was in the old village

Yeah close enough and so we we all go there have a shandy

We all go there darling and have a shandy

A few hours later

We're leaving and I'm a little bit delayed and he goes below and I go outside and there's no mini-buff

The mini-buff is left. Oh my god. There's about ten of us

And I think ha ha ha yeah good joke

Yeah, you'll be back in two minutes and I wait and I wait and then nobody comes back and you're half-cut because you've had a shandy

And he's broken the seal

I ended up spending all night wandering around the village

Oh my god

There was a telephone box and I've got newspapers out of the rubbish bin

Put them in the telephone box and try to get comfortable in the bottom of one

And then the next morning at about six o'clock the teacher arrived in the mini-buff going. Oh my god

God, you're safe

I'm sorry. What year what year was this?

but

so that would have been

nineteen

eighty

Okay, I have a shandy with the teachers

2000s you're not gonna

Wearing a high-vis down Vista on a school

Yeah

I'm gonna put it next time my kids were on a school. I'm putting an Apple ear tag on them

John thank you some messages in when were you left behind I was left at the St. Luke's creche as a little kid

That's at the St. Luke's shop. Yeah, you can drop your kids off you pay whatever and you can just go shopping without

Still a little shape window waiting for them to come back for me because I missed my parents so much

I finally saw them and they walked straight past me and out the door to the car

They can hear me banging on the window saying I'm in here. I'm in here

It took them getting home before they realized and came back to me. I'm dumb

When I when we were leaving and I said to the people who were in charge they walked out without me

I saw them. They walked out without me. They were like, no, you must have seen no

No, we just had a long shopping trip. You must have seen somebody else

Lots of people getting left behind my mom left my sister at church when her kids

She was rushing to get to Sunday drinks at her friend's house

It's important what you do straight up to church. Yeah, you gotta get licked needed a little bit more Jesus as well

Yeah, there were four of us kids and when we got there where we were like mom

And she was like shush and wouldn't let us finish our sentences until she ended up having to go back to get the kid from the church

Hell of a place to leave. I mean if I was at a church, I'd just assume that child was abandoned. Yeah

Southern option process

Hey

Longer a week here at a fact of the day that fact that I just told you off here before we came on

Dude, is that too rough to be a fact of the day one day this week? I don't think so. Just don't say the P word

Underwear. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay. Well, that's not today's fact of the day today's fact of the day because yesterday

The first day we talked about the monobusm. Yes. This was a look in the earliest of 1900s

Of the appearance of one central breast. Yes, like a pigeon. No gap between already flowing over. This is way sexy

Already just loving it. Yeah, today. I want to talk to you about sweater girls heard of sweater girls

Yeah, I have and bullet bras

That's the that's the pointies the bullet by what bullet bra

We're probably most familiar with would be Madonna's

Bra, then we Madonna just wore the bra and it was very pointy cony and then what was Austin powers

They had a gun in it. That was the gun boson

Fembo

They were caught and they had a gun in the military and those weren't bullet bras. Those are fluffy bras

Yeah, right, okay as a boy that was 17 years old when Austin powers came out. I can tell you in detail what that looked like

from memory alone

So the bullet bra is the pointy bra and the sweater girls were called sweater girls because of course you put a sweater over top of them to

Accentuate. Yeah, the bullet. No, so also no underwire in these bras

It was all in the pattern of the bra that led and now when you're making that could be made out of four quarters

That were sewn together and peaked out right and the stark

Opposite to yesterday with a monobus and we talked about these were pulled apart and pointed out

Yeah, to be too very individual mountain

So they were made out of four that were either sewn together so that they peaked or a spiral form that went up

The cup and came to a prime

When was this big what kind of 1950s?

Swing skirts a tiny waist

Sweaters pointy boobs your Marilyn Monroe's and it's never it's never become a thing again. Has it pointy boobs? No pointy boobs

No, it's not well

No, there was the Madonna thing. You should bring them back. That was just the bring a bag. No, I'm trying to just naturally

Yeah, yeah

Rounding out so but of course you put a sweater over top of them a tight sweater of the top of them to really

Accentuate so that they would then be called sweater girls

in fact, it was a

phrase used by a

Police officer who said that he believed sweater girls

And the way that they were really accentuating their individual breasts and you know really taking the attention of the male eye

Was indicative of the downfall of polite Christian society. Oh, really? Yeah about pointy booze of your pointy boozies

So yeah, Marilyn, they make me want to ram rate. Yeah, they make you

A couple of sausages

Six pack of saucy. Yeah crazy. So today's factor today is that sweater girls

And their bullet bras were famous before Madonna

And with the downfall and the beginning of the cycle of modern Christian polite society

Fact of the day day day day day

Hey

I'm on a journey to health

I'm back on a journey to health because I woke up feeling yesterday like a flaming can of garbage

Is this after your big long weekend? Yeah, I've just yeah, I've been burning the candle

I've been getting the candle and I've just been

Dipping it in gasoline

And then setting it ablaze never mind burning it from both ends and the middle and the middle around it's engulfed in flames

I'm engulfing the candle is what I'm doing at the moment. You are almost immediately a gooey pile of swear wax

Yeah, and I know this happens when my eyes get eczema and I get a bit clogged and I get very histamine-y

And far out and and yesterday I had to you know drink baking soda and stuff. I was like, oh my god

They had terrible reflux and I couldn't find any gavvy

Is that all gavvy is? It's just baking soda. It's just bicarbonate soda soda soda

It's taste disgusting when you do it like that

You do like a teaspoon or I do a teaspoon of baking soda water get it down

But it gets rid of it. Yeah, you know what else gets rid of it not treating your body like trash

Anyway, so part of my journey to health yesterday. I went to the class baking soda sounds easier. Yeah. Yeah

Um

Actually, I'll just keep up the baking soda. I went to our gym class that um fletch and I sometimes like to go to

I've been back maybe like

sporadically sporadically like eight times this year. Yeah

And yesterday I was like, right. We're doing Tuesday and Thursday. Those are the days that he goes

I'm gonna go with them, but I'm struggling because I'm really unfit

I've lost all my fitness and I've I'm starting from scratch. You've been doing real. You've been doing great though. I've been doing all right. Yeah. Yeah, thanks

Um, this guy next to me. Hey, what a prick. He's a piece of shit. Yeah. Anyway, so

I'll say that at 842. Thank you very much. You've known him for far longer

And I would have liked more of a warning of how much prick he was

He's a new friend to me and I just yeah, I've been blindsided. Yeah, I've said many times we're more work colleagues. Yeah, I know

He said that he said, oh my god. Yeah, let's add this to the bloody fire

The trainer comes over and we were being silly with each other during one of the movements

And she says this is the ceremony guys full on. It's a hard noise. It is hard

We're being silly with one of the movements and kind of like fletch comes over and pushes my stuff over

I'll put my I'll go put my foot in his rings

For example, and then she said something. Uh, she said to him. Are you guys friends and he said, oh, yeah

more work colleagues

Rough rough rough. I said we were secretly in love but whatever we're somewhere in between

And then we're on the barrel rope side by side because we like to go side by side

And I there's a countdown that comes down and I always look at it

And I was stopping I was getting tired and I would stop and then the the bell would go

We were doing like five sets of 20 seconds and then you get like a little five second rest

Man, I don't know about you guys in the producer, but I'm loving the story

I hope everybody listening is enjoying this boring story about a gym routine as much as

Way more exciting than your freaking steer climber that I get notified

Will it's been an hour on the steer climber? Is it because I'm watching tv on the steer climber?

I am up those stairs. We're moving. We're doing different things. You're just going

Hang in here guys. I got a great story about my time on the steer climber

No, the story is that he called over the instructor and then told on me that I was

I was stopping before the timer. So then she watched me for the rest of the class

You are welcome

Asked my name and then said every time we would like watch at the clock and be watching me and make sure that I didn't stop

And then I was nearly like your other friend James

If we are really your friends who nearly hated bloody spew

I think it just keeps people less fit than him around to make himself feel fit about

Oh, I'm trying to understand this what he's doing

All right, you'll notice I wasn't invited on the weekend to partake in the walk that had a lot of stairs

Because I'm a stairs boy

You are well, we can do that. We can do that hike if you want master

No, I want you can go on your little hikes and me and Vaughan can

Can sit

Don't invite. What do you invite me for? I'm happy about myself. I don't mean

Because then I won't get to hang out with either of you. That's fine. That's also fine. We're hanging out here

So great. So you have slotted me back into colleagues as well

I'll stop knocking on you. I just wanted you to get the most out of your workout

Oh, wow

Wow

Tomorrow's getting rocking in an f45 singlet. It feels like it

It does. It feels like he's

You know the ones we swing your whole body the whole thing and you get up and get on top of the bar fine. All right

colleagues it is

Play you little buttons push you little

Yeah, come to the knock on her to the gym and was he trying to impress the gym instructor

Was that a weird? Because he's not very good at flirting

No more at my alley than hers

Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley Tinder

Tinder matchmaker

This is basically what we all do, but they've just they've just claimed it rebranded it as an actual thing

I know Vaughan loves doing this. I know you do this all the time people that have been in long-term relationships

Love grabbing someone's tinder and just going through it

So more than 75 percent of active tinder users ask their friends opinions about their matches

So tinder's just integrated it directly into the app. So you can go on to the app and you can go

Start a matchmaker session. Yeah, so say you were on tinder Fletch and I would take your phone

I'd start a matchmaker session and you would see my pics for you

And they'd be in their own category. They wouldn't just fall into your pics

So you wouldn't actually match them. I would then see yours and then I could decide if I matched kind of yeah

It's like me. I determine them worthy of a of a swipe, right? But you still ultimately get to

Swipe around I'm not forcing you into any engagement. So I won't be able to chat or send messages

To the partner you just get to see them and be like, oh, yeah, I actually wouldn't have put eyes on that one

But thank you for bringing that to my attention. Yeah

Because I've got friends that are very quick to swipe. No, and I'm always like

I put it up a bit. I put it up. There you go. And they're like, okay

They've just picked a bad picture and then you leave and they just unmatch. Yeah, so they're saying that friends

family

Parents could ever go on this. Jesus. I would love to meddling. They're too meddling. Imagine the type of people

That your parents would choose for you

Compared to who you would choose for yourself. I think I'd be I'd choose you good matches. Yeah, you choose good. Yeah

Vaughn, I think you'd choose some goodies. I don't believe you're a fussy person. I'm just give it all

I'm a little fussy

No, I've only get excited when he sees guys on tractors and stuff. He'd swipe with those

Yeah, a lot of bogans coming in

It's not not my type, is it?

You want a man not afraid to work that land

Yeah

So we say it's so

I think this is a great thing because I do it for my friends all the time

And it's so fun

Because and and it's great because it'll bring people into the tinder app that don't use it because they've got partners

Yeah, like me and then we can sell them advertising

Do you have so would you have to download tinder to use your friends matchmaker or you still use their phone?

I'm trying to see that. I think you would use their phone. You would use their phone. Yeah, right

Okay, it gives you just too much of an excuse for a dirtbag to have tinder on their phone. Yeah, it really is

I was just doing that matchmaking thing with my friend

And me just see it out there. Yeah

Yeah, I'm not sure if you could get it on your phone like if I could be at home doing it for you

Handing your phone over to your friend group was the original vibe check

Obviously, you want your friends to do it

So tinder matchmaker is a fun way to get the bestie silver pair even before the match

Right, okay

This is good. This is fun. It's hard out there

Shivers guys 10 out of 10 podcasts that one. Yeah, I think two of us were 10 out of 10 and one of us was on

Or who is that? Which one? We'll just leave that. We'll just leave that there

Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us a rating and review. Please do. Unless it's a bad one. Oh, yeah
