The ZM podcast network. The Flesh Vaughn and Haley big pod. Treat yourself to Maccafe coffee

with my Macca's rewards. Good morning. Welcome to the show Fletch Vaughn and Haley three minutes

past six minus Haley today. Who is coming back from Melbourne today? Right. She was filming a TV

thing yesterday. Australia's have you been paying attention yesterday? Yeah. And then there's like

no late flights. Gotcha. Well there is this late flight that leaves at like midnight but then

you get in like now. Well that's better than tomorrow. Where is she? Yeah well I did question

work ethic. Yeah. You lose a whole day coming back from Aussie. Well you came back

yesterday. We left at like 11 20 and it got in at six five o'clock six o'clock. Yeah six o'clock

because the daylight savings right three and a half hour flight three hours difference at the

moment. Gone. See you later. Days gone. See you later. See you later day. Yeah daylight savings.

Saving. Saving. So it would normally it would normally be five o'clock right now. Yes. So when

I woke up my cat was waking me up. He was an hour earlier. He's already adjusted. He's already

adjusted. Because he can read a clock because he's hungry. Yeah. Fat little effort. Yeah.

Gotcha. Okay. So on the show today our cash catch up continues eight o'clock.

$25,000 we've got to give away. So listen out for that. Activator we play at eight

midday and four o'clock. Load to cash coming up to give away. The top six. Yeah AI might be the

key to finally understanding what animals want. Like when your cat was yelling this morning.

What did you get one food. Obviously it doesn't take AI to work that out. Doesn't take a genius.

It's a cat and that's pretty much all they want from us is food. Yeah. And a pat now now not now

not now. So I've got the top six things different animals have been trying to tell us for ages.

Finally we'll know. Yeah. Next on the show the US military are working on a new weapon.

And I've got to say this one is like out of a movie. Oh because I watched the TV last night

that a story on the US submarines that Australia is getting the nuclear powered ones. Oh yeah.

And they kept talking about the war using like inevitable terminology. Oh yeah. No ifs.

It was more of a wins. Fun times. Great times to be alive. I'll tell you about this new weapon next.

So the US military are working on a new weapon. And I thought this would be right up your alley

Vaughn. It's a fictional. Well I mean we've seen it in movies as a freeze ray gun but they're

working on a real life freeze ray gun. Like Dr. Freeze off Batman like Batman. Yeah exactly like

Batman exactly. How would it work you point it and you pull the trigger and then the targeted

position freezes. And if I like shot you with it would it make an ice cube around you or would

it just create a extreme point of cold. So apparently so you're like oh god I can't concentrate

on ego wheeze because I'm cold. Yeah there's an engineering department they reckon they stumbled

upon a method to create this accidentally. Right we were out there just trying to think of a fun

new way to kill a fellow human. No so they were stumbled across a freeze ray. They I think they

were trying to sort of like planes that operated high altitude like war planes and stuff. They

need to call the overheated electronics. Okay. Like the system so they don't overheat but so that

when doing this the computer while my computer's got a little fan in it. Yes I don't know if you

should try that. I don't know if you can have a little fan at 30,000 feet. But also 30,000 feet

it's incredibly cold. Yeah I don't know. How hot are these things running. Quite hot by the sounds

of it. Because when you're in a commercial airliner and it's like outside temperature minus 50.

Yeah that's pretty always pretty wild. So yeah so they're working on these. I mean it's I'll be

honest it's a lot of science for one to explain but yeah they reckon that this is how they're

going to do it. What's its range. I don't think we're there yet. I don't think we're there yet.

Okay. I just I need more information because they could just be making this up. The molecules and

plasma and there's a whole lot of years. Also they should be keeping this to themselves like an

Oppenheimer. Yeah like don't tell anyone. Yeah don't tell China. No because then they'll develop

they'll take what limited information they're given. Give it to their best people and they'll

have one too. Don't China have like a microwave ray gun or the Americans have got one of those

two way. Where you just shoot a laser at it just like microwaves people. But it's hot on the outside

and freezing cold in the middle. And the bowl you're in. The bowl you're in is so unbelievably

hot to the touch. Yeah. Next on the show if you're considering facial surgery. No. Maybe put it.

Maybe we're on your list. She's finally getting it done. She's finally getting it done. She's finally

getting them filled and then Botoxed. We'll be looking tomorrow. About why traveling overseas to

do it might not be as easy as you thought it would be. Play ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley.

Now if you've had a little nip tuck. A little change to the face. You'll probably go for a

discrete change. A slight de-aging if you will. Well this is how people start isn't it. But we

it's a slippery slope and then your face looks like nothing like you had before. Yeah. What was

it? Who was telling me Turkey's the place to go now? Is it? Turkey's the new Thailand.

Turkey's the new Thailand. We've had a rebrand. Yeah. Is it? Okay. Hair plugs, face stuff,

teeth business. Yeah right. If you're going to get it done. Turkey. Hair plugs. Yeah. Who's

hair do you get? I don't know. Do you get like your bum hair or back hair or someone else's?

Okay. My barber told me that was the place to go. I said it's too far gone. He didn't say to me,

he told me he had it done. Oh really? He had it done. Could you tell? No. Really? No. Middle

eastern dude. You know middle eastern dude, thick hair to hair. Yeah. Completely not suspecting.

Good from him though. Good from him because if you go to Turkey and get hair plugs you'll go back

and need the haircut and the bedroom. Oh yeah. Now he's just getting more money. I think you're

going to say I got a Turk and I come back with middle eastern man hair. Do they match the hair

to the person? I don't know. That's so many questions. I know. Lots of questions about it.

Yeah. But apparently it's the place to go. But there is a problem that has affected older Koreans

who are going overseas to get like intense face lifts. Not little pull back, little like this

71 year old woman gets a full rear posturing of the face. Kind of like when your couch gets old

and saggy and you need a rear post. Yeah you need to get totally done. And it's really tight. You've

got a classic old car and the old vinyl seats have stretched and ripped and you get a full rear

poster. She's got a full rear poster. Does not even look like the same person. Oh no. Okay. Very

obviously had surgery. Yeah. Maybe it calms down over a while but at 71 years old the body takes

a little while longer to heal. They can't get back into Korea. Why? Well they don't look anything

like their passport. Like nothing like their passports. The surgery has made them look younger

I say because it's just taken away all the wrinkles but it's also changed what makes a Korean person

look like a Korean person. Oh okay right. So they look nothing like their passport. They try to scan

it to get back into the country and it's like you're going to know you're going to need to go to the

desk. Yeah. So yesterday a guy pushed in rudely in front of me on the line to use the passport

kiosk. Rudely. I was like it's very busy at the airport yesterday. Yeah. We get to the front of

the line. He puts in his passport and it's not an A passport so he has to go online. He has to go

all the way back to light up with the other people. I didn't think you would have a passport that

wasn't an A passport. I know for they would have expired by now. Yeah or I think there are certain

countries that aren't allowed to use those smart gates. All right. And he was from one of those

countries and I had a great moment where I was like huh shouldn't have pushed down.

Karma. Well maybe it didn't recognize them. Was he a Korean man who had recently come back with it.

Had the shuffle of a man in his late 70s early 80s but had the face of a I didn't know he didn't

look puffy plastic G.I. Joe that had spent a couple of summers on a dashboard didn't look

didn't look puffy. Yeah so apparently can't get back in then even when then they go to the desk.

Yeah right. They don't look anything like the passport photo anymore because there's no way

to tell is there. It just looks like you're using a fake passport. That's exactly what they

are. They've got to be detained and then they've got to have like they've got to work out the proof

proving to them that you are that person. I wonder how many people a day try to use fake

passports. I don't know. Like would it be that many. I don't know. I just never. It's probably

it'd be so ballsy to use someone else's passport that wasn't yours. Like we talked about airports

on the show the other week and someone said they used to work at Heathrow. Oh yeah. And they said

the airlines get fined. Oh yeah. Because they let them on there in the first place. But yeah they

said it was like at Heathrow quite a few. Yeah right. People seeking asylum. People trying to get

into the UK. Yeah right. And once you're there I guess they arrest you and you're there. Yeah.

So you don't care. You might get sent back. You might stay. But I've never thought about it.

That would be interesting to get in the loud. Let's official information request.

Auckland Airport. How many fake passports have they busted? Love to know. Yeah.

18 minutes past six. From going overseas and traveling home to just staying put. Oh yeah.

That's not for everybody. A dock hut. Yeah. Not for everybody. Can we ask the producers when

it's the last time you were in it. The great outdoors lovely dock hut stayed the night.

Look at Sharon's face. It's like I said the most horrific thing imaginable. I don't think I've never

camped. Like I've not even stayed in a tent before. I'm not even flight new years for like

R and V when you were 18. Nah. I'm a cabin girl. Like a like a top 10. You're an Airbnb.

You're a holiday. I'm an Aucklander. So I've never been in a dock hut.

I don't tarnish all 1.5 million Aucklanders with your brush. I just love to get out and visit a

great hut in a national park. Not me. No. Okay. Can't win. Yeah. No. I've never been in one.

Not because I don't want to. I've just never had the chance. Oh my God. You're missing out.

Now that I care. That's a passionate self. We yours would have been when we did the

River Jarrod. Yeah. That's actually the only one I've ever stayed in.

Right. Oh my God. So only because we forced you on a river trip. No. I wanted to go.

I would happily sleep in another dock hut. Right. Okay. Well, we got to see the long

tailed bat. Didn't we? Yeah. Yeah, we did. Tiny, tiny thing. Blinking your moustache.

Socialize with the dock ranger. Listen to some old mate snore the entire night through a get

shooshed by his wife at 7.30 at night. Even though she was up at six.

Fletcher's farts. I know. They were Vaughn's farts. No, that was. I know because I don't fart.

In fact, that the food where you just add the boiling water and let it sit in the bag.

There's no nothing. No farts. No purrs. Nothing. You need earplugs in a dock hut.

And I certainly do. You're just silly if you don't. Well, the dock huts, a list has been released

and annoyingly the top nine. It's always 10. Oh, why did they do that?

At the bottom of this article. It tells you about the 10. Yeah, they don't work in radio.

They don't know. Poor Kai Hutt. Stay. No, I haven't stayed there. Stopped there.

We haven't stayed there. Yeah, we went to stay there. Because in there it says beside it,

how many days it was at 100% capacity, which is 16. 16 people. And that night that we were

going to stay there, but we didn't, we left was because it was at capacity and there was just

children everywhere. Yeah, that was before you could book it because you can book it now online.

Yeah. So you don't turn up and it's already full. Yeah, I think it was like double the amount of

people that could stay there. People just on the floor. So barrier hut in Otago. I've never heard

of that one. That can sleep 20. Yeah. Pack horse hut in Canterbury. That can sleep nine.

Lane Cove hut in Northland. This looks nice. It's got like a deck and everything. Oh, yeah.

Lovely little deck there. Mueller hut. Oh, I want to go to this hut so bad. It's beautiful.

It's beautiful. One of the very picturesque South Island hearts that's in Canterbury.

It's absolutely Instagram bait this hut because it's like red and when there's snow everywhere.

It's yes, that burnt orange. Yeah. Good stuff. Like a red barn colored hut. Yeah, it's good.

It's very contrasting to its background. So these, these and because I need to open up all the bookings

for Summit, didn't they? So these are like, yeah, already chockable. Bookable hearts that are

currently running at 50% or more full capacity over the 1st of December to the 31st of January,

period. Wow. So, okay. So these are already, these are booked. Yeah. A lot of these that you're

going to have trouble getting in. Yeah. Moutaka Wanui hut in Northland is number four. Peach Cove.

Now I've stayed at Peach Cove. This is a beautiful little hut. It's just north of Whangarei and you

go up a very, very steep hill and then you go down the other side of the very, very steep hill

and the Peach Cove hut is absolutely gorgeous. We were there in a really bad cyclone and you

wouldn't tell it's quite sheltered in there. So I can speak to that thing very popular.

Are these the huts that aren't on the Great Walks? Because those have all sold out, right?

Oh, no, that one's on the, is it Tiara Nui, the track that goes from the top of the north to the

bottom of the south? The full length of New Zealand? Yeah, I don't think it's cool. Is that what it's called?

Tiara, Tiara, it's tea something. Yeah.

It's a big one, long one. Canterbury, number two hut is the Otomahui hut and number one is

Hookah hut in Canterbury, which is, that's Instagrammable, isn't it? Very Instagrammable.

That's the one that's close to Mount Cook. Yeah, right. I think it's a walk from the visitor's

centre. It's the closest one to the visitor's centre, but it's quite like, that's at 50 days,

full capacity, 58 days already booked of the nearly 60 days that I just described.

Yeah. So if you're wanting to head into the Great Outdoors over the summer holidays,

you're about buggered. You pretty much screwed, yeah. Because even the ones that aren't at 100%

capacity on those nights, there are already some people staying there. Yeah. I mean,

you can always take a tent and go outside, but that's not as much fun. Yeah, we gotta carry that.

You gotta carry that. You gotta hike it in. Take care of that. Bye.

slash build. There was a small incident in Wellington. Details on the story.

Oh, I've got nothing to do with me. Oh, you were there for the weekend, weren't you?

I was. Yeah. Well, no, this was a police officer. This happened in Wellington,

Romanti South on Friday. A police officer has injured their foot after accidentally

discharging their gun. They shot themselves in the foot, like the saying, don't shoot yourself

in the foot. Shoot yourself in the foot. The officer was taken to Wellington hospital with

minor injuries. What is the injury of the saying, shoot yourself in the foot? I mean,

unsure. Perhaps this very, this very example is that you have a holstered gun. Shoot yourself in

the foot. Was that pulling the trigger before you headed out? Maybe you'll shoot yourself in the

foot. This is something I do. I couldn't have a gun. Was he fiddling with it? That's my problem.

I'd be fiddling with it. Yeah, you'd be fiddling with it. You'd be like, what if I pushed you?

Yeah. To shoot yourself in the foot, to roast from the, from World War I, where a soldier would

deliberately shoot themselves in the foot to avoid having to go over the top and the trenches to

certain death is therefore a cowardly act that involves self-harm and pain as an alternative

to something much worse. But that's not really how we use the saying, though. You shoot yourself

in the foot, you buggered it up. You kind of, yeah, you messed it up. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's

interesting. Well, you, so, but I guess our saying is just taking on another meaning. Yeah.

Really showing himself in the foot, telling the interviewer all the others who are applying for

the job he wanted. The colloquial term alludes to the accidental shooting as opposed to the

deliberate one. So as to avoid military service. Also, it's kind of changed a bit. Yeah. In 100

years. But this officer, that's embarrassing, isn't it? Cause you're going to be in the training

manual now. You are. You're going to be in the training manual. Do not fiddle with gun citation

require citation of this incident and probably some paperwork. I'd imagine also gun. I thought

wasn't armed offenders, right? Yeah. It says there was a an armed offenders squad. So this

was an armed offenders. Oh, or was it the police officer? Cause they're allowed to get the guns

out when the armed offenders are there, right? I think why don't I? Otherwise it's tasers. Yeah,

normally tasers and pepper spray and those, um, new plastic handcuffs, those cable tie handcuffs.

Yes. Yeah. Which are just from Bunnix. It is from Bunnix. Yeah. Very hard to get out of. Oh,

yeah. And possibly hard to get out of a cable tie. Well, though you'd be able to like surely

scratch your way out with a bit of glass or melt them on your hand. If you were in a, um,

a wagon being transported and there was an accident and there was a sharp surface,

you could certainly see yourself free. Certainly what happens in the movies. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

They might, I think they'd be better to chain you up there though. Yeah. Cause of that if the

chain's in the, maybe walk you to the van in the plastic, but then, and then add the additional

steel. God, you're, you're, you're, you're sharp at this stuff, aren't you? Oh yeah, no one's

getting out of transportation. It's really your forte. Yeah. And then I'm the driver and I'm injured

and I'm in a coma and they assume I'm dead. The guys that have flipped the van. Yeah. So they don't

shoot me. Yeah. And then I'm in a coma for a little while. Right. And then I wake up and I'm,

I'm livid. Right. So my training begins, montage. Yep. Hunt down the bag guys. Yeah. Go outside the

law. Yeah. The law of which I served for so long that turned its back on me. Yep. Because of

I was in the coma. Yeah. And then I'm, I'm turned my back on the law. I'm like, I am the law. And

you hunt them down over time. Yeah. All of them. Yep. Great movie. That would be a great movie.

Great movie. So we will find it a little hard to get on board with my character who was just a

driver and now all of a sudden he's just ruthlessly murdering anybody he wants now. Yeah. Has he

become the bad guy? Find out in the sequel. Once we get this writer strike over. Yeah. I was going

to say the drawing board. I was going to say that your movie could be called The Transporter,

but that's already a movie. Yeah. Prison transfer. Yeah. Driver guy. Yeah. Driver guy. Yeah. It's

a worse title. It's a worse title. Well, this is what happens when the writers are on strike.

You're screwed. Yeah. You don't do it all yourself.

I think I wrote this story because it's positive.

And that's the sort of world we live in. Yeah. It's all bad. And this is good.

And then you've got to be suspicious of the good. Apparently we might be able to use AI to talk to

animals. But back and forth. Okay. You could talk to your chickens. Understand them and then send

them something back. Say to your chickens, come on. You're not laying fast enough. Yeah. More.

Do you know somebody who was it that told me that people trick chickens into laying twice a day?

Really? It's a wild day. They make them think there's been a mini night time.

It's for the ones in the cage. Oh, that's sad. They don't have a great time. Yeah. Right. Stop

doing that. They lay once a day if you let them out. That's plenty. That's plenty. Yeah. Yeah.

Just get more chickens. Yeah. Ta-da. For himself. They eat more. All the cost is going up. Yeah.

Everything's going up, mate. Well, we might be able to talk to animals because AI will be able

to map out their language structure effectively. Do we want to know what they're saying? Well,

I don't know. But I've plugged it in. Okay. And I've run some tests over the weekend.

Of the top six things AI will tell us the animals have been saying all along. Okay.

Number six on the list. We spoke to birds. And to be honest, it's all pretty sexual.

Is it? Yeah. The dancing, the singing, the puffing up of the feathers.

Right. They did it all for the nookie. All this time they've been what?

Just flirting. Yeah, flirting. Okay. And just trying to bang other birds, basically.

Okay. Birds banging birds. Yeah. That's what they want to listen to. It's nature. Yeah. Number

five on the list of the top six things AI will tell us the animals are saying. We tried it on

primates. Oh, yeah. All the monkeys, et cetera. Yeah. Right. Guys, again, it's all pretty sexual

to be honest. Oh, no. Where do you think we got it from? Yeah, from them. We're pretty, most of our

chat. It's endgame is sex. Yeah. So you can see where we got it from. Number four on the list of

the top six things AI will tell us the animals are trying to say. We tried it with reptiles.

Oh, don't tell me. This might come as a huge surprise. Don't tell me it got sexy. It's pretty

sexy. Oh, really? Have you seen how their tongues pop out and go and then they slither around it?

Yeah. I'm a reptile. It's pretty sexual stuff. Oh, okay. Wow. Sorry to break this to you.

Number three on the list of the top six things AI will tell us the animals are saying.

We tried it on horses. Well, not horses too. It's all pretty kinky. Okay. All that leather,

they like it. Yeah. Oh, they like foaming at the mouth when they've got like a bit in there.

Yep. Harnesses. Wow. And those wings. Huge wings. Yeah. I hate to break it to you,

but they're joining reptiles, primates and birds. I think just pretty sexually centered.

It explains horse people, doesn't it? Yeah, it really does. It really does. Number two on the

list of the top six things AI will tell us the animals are saying. We tried it on insects.

Oh, not them too. Guess what? It's all sex stuff. They're rubbing their wings together. They're

slapping their legs on the torso. They're reproducing like crazy. You think ants got to their

population number by being prudes? I've got news for you. They did not. Yeah. They stole cakes from

picnics and then they went home and they ate the cake and then guess how they celebrated.

Oh, not really orgy. And number one on the list of the top six things AI will tell us the animals

are saying. We plugged it into dogs. Oh, yep. Let me guess. Food ball, vacuum, postman's hair,

someone's at the door. That was all they ever said. That was all they said. Over and over in

various orders. Right. Yeah. Food ball, vacuum, postman's hair, someone's at the door. Easily

pleased. So easily pleased. And it was nice to finally meet an animal that didn't prioritise

the sex stuff. That's the next top six. Play Zerims, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well,

Sonny's been done. This is out of the UK. A lot of Brits like a lot of Kiwis still working from

home after the pandemic. 40 percent of people that work from home say that not being in the office

all week. And so this is based on people that work solely from home. I guess hardly ever go

into the office. 40 percent of them say that not being in the office all week has made them

fundamentally unspontaneous and boring. Why? Because they just don't want to go out. They're

just like, they're just perfect. They're more likely they are you like a trend. They're also

not getting like talked into on a Friday. They're like, I guess not. They're like, yeah, let's all

go out. Straight to where the spoons. They do say that they're more likely to reject night out plans

and agree to them. Right. So it's just made them stay at home. Unsociable, which I mean is right

up your eye. But also you do, you need human interaction. You do. God, I've met some terrible

humans. The terrible ones outnumber the really, really good ones. But you'll go out sometimes.

Yeah. If Shade makes you. If Shade makes me. If Shade drags you along. Yeah. It's school holidays

now. Yeah. How does that affect the worker from home is probably makes it easier because they

don't have to find something to do with their kids. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Imagine that. Yeah.

Versus having to go into work. Yeah. You got to find something to do with your kids.

Imagine if school holidays made you go into the office just because you wanted to get away

from your kids. Yeah. But then I guess you got to look after them as well. Someone does. Because

my parents were farmers growing up. So school holidays was either get sent to the grandparents

or help out on the farm. But we're always jealous of the kids whose parents had jobs because they

got sent to school holiday programs. Oh, yeah. Or just got to be in the house alone. Oh, yeah.

When they got to a certain age, they just got left home alone. And then you can make fudge

and stuff. What a bad. You are bad to the bone. You make icing out of icing sugar and cocoa powder.

And some fudge. Yeah. That was free chocolate. That's a well rounded diet.

And icing. Did you put the icing on the fudge? No, I didn't even think about that. Could you put

icing on fudge? I mean, you could. It'd be a waste of time. Why? Because you I mean,

double chocolate, maybe not. Yeah. What am I saying? Oh, see, I would have gone Russian fudge,

the not chocolate variety, and then put chocolate icing on it. And then I would be weird.

Why? I don't know. This would be a lot of icing. I mean, I'm not saying no. I'll try it. But yeah.

Yeah. Well, you don't have to put lemon icing. Not on Russian.

Don't speak too soon. Don't speak too soon. I was about to say you want to put lemon icing on it.

And then the minute the words came out of my mouth, I was like, actually, I think I might

I think I might put lemon icing on a Russian fudge.

Today's silly little poll does your lock screen on your phone feature your partner.

This is after Kylie Jenner was spotted. Her phone has her and Timothy Shalamalai on the front.

She's having a smooch. People like in this, this coupling. It's a bit weird.

It's a weird couple. Shannon's, Shannon's all over it. She loves it. Oh, she loves it.

Yeah, she's big thumbs up. She just doesn't normally go for weedy white guys though,

don't she? Skinny little Willy Wonka fellows. Does your lock screen feature your partner?

35% of people saying yes. 65% saying no. That's interesting. I thought it'd be more.

I think people without partners might have voted for no. Yeah, right.

Which might have bumped those numbers up a little bit. They should have skipped.

This wasn't for you. Single's Day is coming up. That day's for you.

Isn't it the 11th of November? Single's Day in China?

It's sales day, isn't it? Huge sales day.

So yeah, 65% of people saying no. 35%. Producer Jared has an interesting quandary.

Oh, okay. Because once you've got a lock screen of you in the midi.

Yeah, we're at my cousin's wedding. She looks hot.

Hey, you're not pretty spiffy too. Your cousin looks hot.

No, no, my girlfriend looks hot. But the way I originally worded it was ambiguous.

So you didn't clarify that you don't think your cousin's hot.

No, I don't think my cousin's hot, but I've got a very hot midi.

You're allowed to say your cousin's good looking, are you? I've got a good looking cousin.

Like if she wants to be your cousin. I've got a hot cousin.

Yeah, no, you can't say that. Way off track.

Yeah, you've really dug a hole here, Jared.

So I set the midi as my lock screen ages ago, but I've recently wanted to change it to something

cool from one of the animes I watch, but is... Yeah, don't rule your own.

But like if I change it to some cartoon characters, the midi's gonna be like...

Yeah, yeah, she will be. She will be. Yeah, definitely.

Caroline.

Why don't you make your lock screen the new photo and then your wallpaper hurt?

Because the wallpaper is covered by apps.

Yeah, but... It's hard to see what's back there.

Also, set up a couple of those little widgets that are photo widgets, which is you too.

Or do a profile so that you have... You and the midi is like when you're at home,

and then when you're at work, it's your nerd, whatever your nerd stuff.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

As soon as her phone's within Bluetooth region of yours, it changes to you and her,

and then she leaves, and it's bloody, my hero academia.

Cha-cha-cha!

Yeah, that's what I was going to do.

Right. Okay, could she... Would she say something if you changed it?

Oh yeah, I think she would.

It's like changing your Facebook profile picture,

you have a nice picture of you and your partner, and then you're like,

you did something cool, so you change it, and they're like,

yeah, but they don't want the honey's coming at you.

Well, that's...

She's not in the photo.

It's pretty much taken the wedding ring off, isn't it?

Yeah, pretty much.

Yeah, I am.

DTF.

I don't know what that sounds like.

You know you've just got a nerd photo.

Yeah.

But some feedback.

Alan said lock screen is cat wearing sunglasses, home screen is partner.

So they've got different lock screen, home screen situation stuff.

The cover... The partner will be all covered by widgets.

Yeah, I know that.

Yeah.

Laura says, yeah, but only because he's holding our niece,

otherwise he wouldn't make the cut.

Rough.

Rough.

Ashley, it's my kids.

They never let it not be them.

Yeah, my kids do that too.

Constantly changing wallpapers on computers and phones.

Really?

Can you know why?

Get out of it.

Get out of the settings.

Alexandra says, minor all nature, beaches, scenery,

lame lock screen is my wallpaper because I'm lazy.

Yeah, right, right.

Get a nice picture of the partner and chuck it up there.

Ashley says, my dog, always my dog.

I kiss her on the mouth more than I do my partner,

therefore she deserves to be front for all to see.

There's a lot of bacteria there.

Yeah, that's a yuck.

And they lick their butthole.

They lick everything.

Yeah.

They eat turds and vomit and gross.

Even just the biscuits alone that they eat.

The food alone is enough to be.

Yuck.

It's a no-no for me.

Rachelle said, I have my vision board as my lock screen,

so to become a better person.

Oh, I wonder what's on the vision board.

I would like to see the vision board, too.

Like a nice holiday.

Is it like gold kind of stuff?

Is that what it is?

Yeah, maybe.

I don't know.

Have you ever had a vision board?

What's a vision board?

Is that what you've used?

Things you want.

Goals.

Isn't it?

Goals and things you want.

Yeah, okay.

Like a big pile of money.

You'd have that on your vision board?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So one of those just falls off a back of a.

That'd be great if that just bank truck.

Yeah, fell off a bank truck.

Famously bank trucks poorly secured.

Yeah, they are.

And just under tarpaulins generally.

Back doors open.

Yeah.

Angela said I don't have a partner,

so it features my cats.

Oh, you're nice.

I thought I would have kept that to myself.

And Gaina says, no, it's for losers.

What's the...

Do you know what I don't get?

Straight up, that's very aggressive, Gaina.

People that have the default, like a,

you know, the default phone wallpapers.

Yeah.

Love a little.

Yeah, change it up.

You can put anything on that.

Yeah, anything.

And you're just putting the picture of the world on there

that comes with your iPhone.

The world's pretty cool though.

I live there.

Yeah, I love there too.

I live on that.

Yeah.

I live there.

That's, that is actually quite a fun place to live.

And quite beautiful.

From a distance, don't look too close.

We're messing it up.

Come on, it's like default.

Some space that looks good.

The default wallpapers, you gotta, you gotta go...

Brunch out, live a little.

Brunch out.

Yeah, exactly.

Gotcha, gotcha.

Hey there, my friend's calling me Big Bobby.

I dream big.

I like big burgers.

And I'm big on streaming.

And when it comes to catching those big moments

of my favorite shows,

I unfold the big 7.6 inch screen

of my new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.

I love you, James.

I've always loved you.

And Big Bobby also gets big feelings.

Good for you, James.

You deserve it.

200 foreigners have been kicked out of Bali this year

to date.

So...

It's not...

It was a 108 for the entire year last year.

Oh, okay.

They aren't cracking down though, aren't they?

So only 12 of them were Australians.

Russians were the biggest perpetrators.

59 Russian foreigners are kicked out of Bali.

14 from the United States.

13 from the UK.

12 from Australia.

9 from Nigeria and New Zealand.

Not on the list.

We're well behaved.

We're well behaved.

We're being very good boys and girls

when we go around the world.

But like you...

I honestly thought Australians

would be highly represented.

Having been to Bali, I've been twice.

So many times.

And you see...

Like I saw an Australian walk out of a bar

absolutely blottoed.

Get on a scooter,

drive at 10 metres, crash,

and then get up and then get back on the scooter.

Like that kind of craziness.

Well, if you pull off the horse,

unless the horse is powered by a 50 cc engine,

then you're going to absolutely kill yourself

because this doesn't sound like a helmet wearer either.

No, it was not wearing a helmet.

No, fantastic.

Well, they also released the do's and don'ts of Bali.

The do's are boring.

Here are the don'ts.

Don't touch sacred trees.

Yeah.

Don't engage in behaviour that defiles sacred places,

temples, idols or religious symbols,

such as climbing on them or taking indecent...

That's why a lot of...

Apparently the big amount of Russians

that were kicked out.

Yeah.

It was like Russian influences being...

Yeah, they get naked at these sites,

so they can climb over things.

Okay.

Very attractive.

The photos they use as the examples.

Yeah, very...

Okay, right, yeah.

Don't trespass on sacred territories.

Don't litter or pollute lakes, springs, rivers.

Stick to the...

Don't go chasing waterfalls or polluting them.

Stick to the rivers and the lakes like you used to.

Don't use single-use plastics.

Styrofoam, plastic straws,

apparently they're trying to pull back

on the single-use plastic,

which is good because it's everywhere.

Yeah.

Don't say offensive words in public.

Engage in work or business activities

or that proper documentation

or get involved in illegal activities

such as trading illegal goods,

drugs, sacred objects, cultural artifacts, etc.

Yeah.

They also established a hotline

that anyone can call to dob in fellow tourists

for bad behavior and where it's happening

and where they are.

Wow, okay.

And now they've released an app

that they're encouraging accommodation providers to use.

Hotels, resorts, like, you know,

when you go and you hire a villa in Bali.

Yeah.

And you stay there,

they're asking the owners of those.

And it's not just if you're misbehaving,

it's just that you are staying there.

Oh, wow.

Okay, so that's an app that you can dob people in.

Well, no, it's not dobbing in,

it's just keeping a track of you.

Right.

So it might just be you were there

and they're saying while it is, like, naughty,

it could also get you out of trouble.

All right.

If you were staying in, well,

if they say you were staying there

and something on the other part of the island happens.

Right.

And they're like, that was them.

It's like, well, I'm staying way over here.

I was here.

Yeah, right.

But then what if you have a big drug night with your mates?

And you end up over there.

And you end up somewhere,

they'll just knock on the app on you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.

Yeah, no, that would be the hotline more than anything.

Right.

But that kind of just trying to,

one of the terms they use is make Bali holidays

about quality over quantity.

Because people come, they eat heaps,

they drink too much, they get carried away.

Yeah, but that's like drugs.

People like going to Bali.

Yeah, well, Bali doesn't like having

to clean up after you.

Yeah.

So.

Well, I can't have it both ways.

So can I?

No, but it's trying to make it a more family friendly

destination.

Right, OK.

Which they said that's like the ear goal is to be.

And also recently, they had their big,

the police had one of those big press conferences

where they lined up all of the adult fun toys

that they confiscated.

Yeah.

And people's suitcases.

And you had them on a table like,

you know, when they bust drugs

and they have big piles of drugs and money,

they had a big table of dillies.

And much like the big table of drugs,

it's going to make the police Christmas party.

Oh, yeah.

Because you know, they're just taking all of those on.

Yeah.

100%.

Dead or wiped.

And away you go.

Zed M's Fletchvorn and Haley.

Well, this was a famous story when all over the world,

a New Zealand couple on a Singapore Airlines flight,

demanding a refund because they had to sit

next to a farty dog.

I didn't know it was an,

I never really looked too far into the story.

I thought it was in America.

I thought it was a domestic flight

and it was an emotional support animal.

But it was international from Italy to Singapore.

And then Singapore onto New Zealand.

So the farty dog was Italy to Singapore.

Where apparently it was in business.

It was an emotional support animal,

which if you've traveled in America,

you just see the most wild animals on the plane

that people are always bringing cats and dogs.

Yeah.

Ostriches, iguanas.

Yes.

Didn't somebody take a little mini horse?

Yeah. I think that's when they,

when they cracked down on it,

when someone took a mini horse on a plane,

they're like, you're taking the dust now.

Was it a bulldog?

Uh, well, it does sound, I'm unsure,

but it was apparently slobbering over the man's leg at some stage.

Oh, no, no, no.

Farting quite a lot.

And they said to Singapore Airlines,

we want a refund.

Yeah.

That noise, the entire flight.

And they've actually come through with a refund.

They got it.

$1,400.

Because they were in business class, right?

Yeah.

And so they were like, come on.

That's not the same price as a business class ticket.

No, so they, because they said,

can you do anything about this?

Yeah.

And they were like, well, there's seats in economy.

And they were like, no.

It's she wouldn't.

It's, she wouldn't.

Cheers, man.

You, you don't want to downgrade.

Would you?

No.

Yeah.

No.

So, uh, and yeah, initially,

I think they offered them a small amount of money

and they said, no, but they've come through with a $1,400.

And I think that's US.

Right.

So they've got a bit of cash back,

But yeah, I mean this story we're all over the world

I'm one of the full I'm one of the full fair. No, but you also flied in business. Flight that I love

Why did I fly to England? You've seen it. I seen it. Yeah, I've been a flu

But I don't know you would have flowing all the way in business. It's not like you're not getting the dog

Yeah, I know

But just ban stupid dogs

Well, I just didn't know you could take an emotional support animal on international flights

Do they have a loose quarantine? No, but is it is it the Emirates Airlines that let you take those hawks?

Is it falcons falcons? Yeah, you can take a falcon on Emirates. Yeah, which is just like a fly there anyway

Not that fast. Well, not that fast. Yeah, they'll get there. But yeah, I think you can but that's more of a

That's a prestigious animal of of high importance culturally. Yeah, the people of the

For the area the Emirates. Yeah, it's not just some

Fatty bulldog that's slobbering on people as well

Yeah, but I wanted to ask a question this morning

Is there something that you've complained about and got a refund? Oh, yeah shot for the stars for a refund

I got it because you're always here of people complaining in these stories

But you never hear of the refunds. Do you at least it's like fear going they're only doing that because of the media. Yeah

Yeah, yeah, you know

Yeah, they don't want the bad press. Yeah, but yeah, I would love to know if anybody listening has ever complained about something

Actually got a refund

Because you know you'll be like this product was not up to scratch and they're like would like to send you more vouchers for the product

And depending on how not up to scratch it was sometimes you're like, I don't want to do this product anymore

I mean sometimes I feel like tarnished people are complaining and they don't not really justified

Oh, absolutely, but you know the customer is always right. You're paying a fortune for business class though

You want you don't want a slobbery sarn slobbery dog farting dog, which was definitely a French bulldog. Was it a French bulldog?

I know I can't I can't find any. Yeah, but it's got all the hallmarks of a French bulldog

Well, the couple has finally got their refund from Singapore Airlines after sitting next to a farty dog

This funny dogs been great for content for radio though. It really has what have you sat next to want to play

You know, do your dog's fart smell and now I got the refund. We can do the wind. Did you get your refund?

We've been dining out on this for weeks. Thank you dog. Thank you dog. Thank you news

But yeah, we want to know if you've ever managed to get a refund and what you've complained about. Yeah

Refund cash refund or refund the boy. Yeah, maybe you just got some gift certificates. Simon. What did you complain about?

I'm many years ago. I bought a Fitbit and I have a latex allergy

So I'd made sure I bought that there's like an expensive one that came out

It's had zero latex and the um strap. Yeah. Yeah, so I complained about that because I started having an allergic reaction to it

I had like a

Like a large red kind of welting marks going up around my wrist. Oh, wow

so I

I um

Filled up Harvey Norman or no lemmings over I bought it from and they told me I had to go talk to Fitbit about it

So I contacted the Fitbit support and they went. Oh, that's no good

Um, we did have a faulty batch that went out or something along

Some of their no latex branch had latex in it. Yeah, the very thing

They said it was actually a problem that I heard about and they didn't ask any further questions than that and just went

If you want to refund you can you just show us you destroying the strat and we'll fully attend your full

Send proof of you destroying the strat

Yeah, that instantly to me is like a challenge. I would have set up a tripod got like a like some kind of digger or like a flamethrower

Yeah, this amazing video digger or a flamethrower

Well, I went digger and then I changed to flamethrower say what about a digger with a flamethrower mounted? Yes

Yes, and then I would have sent them that video in the hope that it really

This also feels like I ain't no questions asked

They know it's an existing brand a bit. You've got to destroy it. They don't want you going more public with it

Um, they just didn't want to me reselling it. I think all right. Okay weird and so and they just gave you your money back

Yep, um, so they just asked for the receipt from the retailer. I bought it from and then refunded that amount

They were like, thank god this guy's from New Zealand. He can't sell us and then did you trust them to send you one that didn't have latex in it?

Oh, they didn't send me a product

How do you in the right direction, how does that work with the way you just carry your flip around idea?

Um, I can't I just

I just

I could buy the like rebuy the strap and then on sell it but um

I was kind of like that's done really well by me. I'm not gonna go. Yeah

How do you is it hard having a latex allergy like rubber gloves connies like everything? There's so much latex in the world

It is like quite hard like I started when I first went into like uni and stuff

I started like doing physiotherapies or the health sciences. So they're gonna wear gloves all the time. Oh, yeah

Um, but a lot of places start doing latex free gloves anyway. So

I just go for those ones that they're on offer or try and bring my own gloves. Yeah, right by our gloves

Yeah, nice. Okay. All right. Thanks, Simon

Good work. Good work. Good luck in the world. Keep your tics coming in 9 6 9 6 want to know when you got a refund

I bought a gold seat on a bus

a what

A gold seat. I think it means you can just go in like it's you just pay so much and you just get unlimited travel

Oh, okay, right for my daughter, but they put her on on the upstairs

Upstairs on the bus. I complained and they gave me a full refund

But she was just a gold seat mouse had been downstairs. Oh, okay. I don't want to be upstairs on the bus

I don't want to be upstairs on the bus. You see more of us. I can't see in a single situation

I'd rather be downstairs on a bus

We want to know when you've got a refund when you've maybe complained. Yeah

The famous story from a few weeks ago the couple sat next to a farting dog have received a payout

surely when you complain nowadays

More often than not if you're justified

You'll get a refund or a replacement product rather than just being palmed off

Or especially with like all the bad priests

He says even though the dome on this wallet he bought broke the first time he tried to open it to put his air tag in

and despite

The company continuing to advertise to him daily on facebook about their wallets

Have not replied to any of his messages. Yeah, I don't this is why you don't buy

Uh

I mean, I mean would you even say that's leather?

Absolutely not leather. It's not a genuine leather. Yeah. See just the lowest grade something can possibly be and still

Loosely be called leather. Yeah, this is a problem when you buy something off a online only company

Yeah, you're rolling the dice store. No, you can't so we want to know when you got the refund

Alex you got the refund

Yeah, hi guys

What did you what did you get a refund for?

Um, I had I'm a I love online shopping and I had a few parcels come through

One day a posty obviously was having a bit of a bad day. Um, and we came home to

a parcel

broken

And all of that the the bottom hand of our glass front door was cracked

looked back at the cameras and he had zipped the

parcels so hard into the front door just just chucked it

um, so we contacted

Both the supplier and the um posty and they were like, oh, so sorry about that. We will

organize it the post yet to come back and apologize in person

Um, apparently he did have a really bad day and he came past on his next run and was just apologetic about it

Oh, that's funny. Yeah, and wow. Okay. And so did they just pay for the whole thing?

Yes, they did. Yeah. Oh, that's good of them. I there would totally be male fires a posty though

If you didn't have to get out just have that on the front door. Yeah

Would you hang around and make sure it and but then what can you do once you smash someone's window leave a note?

Yeah, I tripped

You had a camera. Yeah, I'd written a note saying I tripped and fell. I'm so sorry, but then you were the camera and it's them

hiffing it at the door

Oh, amazing. I like amazing. Thanks. You call some messages in I once got a new bike because

I crashed into a hedge on the drive home from the pub and bent the forks and it's not your fault

There was a lifetime guarantee. So I called them up and I said, yeah, I crashed a lifetime

And they they gave me a new bike. Really? Yeah, but that's not the people's fault the bike people's fault

No, I know I wouldn't thought so. Okay. Um

Uh, I'm not even gonna read that one. It's intense and sounds like we could be inviting legal challenge

If I did mention a brand that wasn't mentioned there. Good. Good editing on the fly for you. Thank you

My phone was plugged in in the car and the phone charging port started smoking

The plug got burnt into the phone and the car and like welded itself in what it did

Uh, I had it up sent the phone away. They admitted fault sent me a brand new phone in the newest model and paid for the repairs

Yes, good stuff. Yes

um

Some other ones we contracted a builder to flatten the garden and put on a retaining core wall cost $50,000

He completely screwed it up

unbelievably refunded $40,000

What how how

That's tradies and builders don't do that. They don't do that. They've already spent that money that money's going towards the next project

That's crazy picked up at the same time that they're still doing your project even though they haven't finished your project

Maybe they didn't want a a one-side review on builders crack. Yeah

Uh, we're gonna refund from uber eats because the bike guy picked up our ramen. Now you shouldn't be picking up ramen on a bike

No, that's sloppy. That's sloppy. Well, we handed us the plastic bag. The broth was pouring out of the bottom of the plastic bag

All right

Because it rattled it around the littered unwedged itself and all the broth was gone from the ramen

Just a little hack there just cut the corner of the plastic bag and just drinking your mouth. Yeah

Did I tell you what happened with like a moosey my uber last week?

No, I ordered it when we're in wellington

I ordered an uber from the airport and it said it was going to be

$18 and then did they make you walk to the other side of the airport?

I walked to the other side of the airport, but I was aware that was a thing and I ordered out and I said 18

It was like cool on the way and then I got to out of the uber and it was like thanks $39

I was like what and I messaged them and they said oh because this is your first time experiencing

Surge. I was like sweety horn

Sweety sweety darling

No, yeah

It wasn't surge when I clicked it. Yeah, that's cheeky, isn't it? Very cheeky. V cheeky indeed

So they refunded the they refunded the surge. I went to get on my beam scooter the other morning at like 5 a.m

As I always do every day. Yeah, and they wanted to charge me a surge

I've heard this surge on e-scooters because normally it's the 49 and they wanted to charge me 59 cents a minute

Which is like, I mean, I know it's only 10 cents. It's a principle. They were like it's surge

It's also not a surge at five o'clock in the morning. I literally I drove past like 30 beam scooters not being used

I didn't see a single human being on the streets. I'm like, how are you doing this?

Cheeky show me show me your bloody workings here beam. Yeah, why all the sudden surge?

I got charged a hundred dollars per person cancellation fee for a restaurant because we didn't show up

I called the next day and said we'd crashed our car lie got a full refund. Oh, yeah, that's good. I would have been great if I didn't like

Well at the end of last week, I was in Wellington for a couple of days

My auntie got a Queen's service medal and then sat on a Wellington caught up some friends and

Coincidentally blow me down who's in town?

One of my favorites, Maddie McClane

So on friday amazing my message on thursday, we find out he's there and I say how about we do breakfast tomorrow

Was he there on the taxpayer's dollar?

Why would he have been there on the taxpayer's dollar for work? No, he was well, he was there, but he was there

So he's tagged on a it wasn't a tag where he's team in zed's not fully taxpayer funded. You've got to stop this

This rhetoric. I'm just gonna stop this rhetoric. He's getting a free dangerous rhetoric on the on the taxpayer's dollar

We need to know he was down for a big client. The breakfast got a big client. Oh, was he wooing them?

He was wooing the clients. He was in charge of wooing the clients if you ever seen anybody to woo clients could be Maddie McClane

Of course charmer absolutely palatable. Absolutely never met someone that doesn't like Maddie McClane

in person

Once they met him. Yeah, he charmed me very charming

So we were having breakfast with Maddie McClane and there was a couple of things. He said it was quite loud

I was like maybe lower of volumes

So he loves a glass

Yeah

But you know what when we left and we were walking away shite. I was like, um

Well, Maddie was talking quite loud like couple a couple of those names people might recognize like like fletched us

I always do that. You're shocked and I said, yes. I've been meaning to talk to fletch about his gossip volume

He doesn't he doesn't drastically reduce volume while gossiping. It's being in a like a cafe

Is like being in an uber or a taxi you just forget that there's someone else there. Yeah, like the driver

Yeah, like I always know there's someone behind me. Even if I'm in a booth where I can't see who's behind me

I'm assuming there's someone back there with good ears

And they're gonna I say, you know, you'll never guess what I overheard at breakfast

Yeah, 100% that's so and so I was saying about I did actually the other day when we were having breakfast

I had to check behind the booth behind us to make sure no one was there before we had a gossip

Right, so see I'm good always check with your gossip. Well, it wasn't the gossiping that was the problem

When we were sat down for breakfast, we were mid conversation

And someone sat at the table next to us now. I immediately was like, I know that person

It was ruby now ruby you will uh, remember

drew

a few very

poignant poignant poignant

I had to hit the G in that poignant

A few poignant

Illustrations of New Zealand at crucial moments

Over COVID when the march shooting happened in Christchurch at the mosque

Um, she just had this way of the these beautiful illustrations

Capturing a moment. Yeah, and New Zealand were like

Don't know that makes me feel better or I don't know it took

bipartisan

It was all in the politics and everything was taken out of it and it was a human reaction to something in an illustrated form

Yeah, she's very talented very talented

Instagram and when producer Caitlyn left we got her to do a picture of all of us correct. So when she sat down I

Got my phone out and I said to

Shade I was like that's message that you didn't conversate. I didn't I said that's

Ruby sitting beside us. Yeah, right illustrations. Okay. Shade messages back leave her alone

Well, she didn't even want you to say hello

Because she was eating. Oh, right. Okay. Shade's like leave her alone. Yeah, and I'm like, what are you talking about?

She's like you always talk to people at the worst moment you like never want to talk to anybody

But then when you choose to talk to someone it's when they've got a mouthful and you can just see them going

You know when you ask them a question they got a mouthful and they're like pausing you

And then they're chewing too hard and then they might swallow and they could choke. So she's like leave her alone

Yeah, so we have a conversation and then

Um, I get up I go to the bathroom and when I come back

Maddie and Shade have got up and they're moving away. So I'm like

And so I go up to them and then Shade's like you're a bit of pay so I paid and then I was like

I'm gonna go back and say hello. She's like you can't go back now. You've left the table

You've already left. You can't go back. You can't go back. Yeah, I'm kind of with her on there

And I was like I'm gonna go back and say hello and Shade's like do I go back and say hello?

And I was like damn it. And so then we walked out. But you also didn't want to look rude

Didn't want to look rude. You just completely ignored her. Exactly

And then I said to Maddie I was like when we got outside I was like should I go back in and Maddie's like oh, maybe

I don't know and Shade's like you can't go back in now. You're even further than you were the last point. Yeah, you've gone outside now

Yeah, yeah, so we were walking and I said it's also gonna look like you didn't recognize her and then Maddie told you and then

Yes, or I went outside and had to check

Yeah, is it them and you find them and you like look at their face and then you look at them from outside the cafe

And you're like it looks like the same person. It looks yeah, and so you go back and sorry

And then Shade's like don't and then we're walking and I open on my phone and I open up instagram

And I start messaging and I'm just like I'm so sorry. Here's the story and Shade's like who you're messaging

I was like I'm messaging her to say you wouldn't let me go back and say hello

Shade's like why are you doing that for?

Don't do it. Just don't do it. Just let's pretend all this is done. I feel like you should message

I have messaged. Yeah, right. Okay, and she said the same thing

She's like when she sat down we were mid story and she thought it was a business meeting

Wow, this is a goss

Right hooded sweatshirt. That's how I had my business meetings. Yeah, I thought it was a business meeting

So I didn't want to interrupt and then when you got up and walked away and you came back and you went straight

And I was like, well, then we were both like

Slightly introverted people are not sure and we were just barging for a hellosie. Yeah, so it's sorted right but Shade's not happy

Well Shade is just like

You've got to get better at this and I see what you put me at every stage. I kept checking with her

Yeah, when's the best stage to do this and she just said to avoid it all together

But anyway, it's sorted now. It's sorted now, but awkward. But yeah, yeah

I I don't know how it is. I don't know where we've left it. Yeah

I think it's okay. Who paid for lunch? Did Maddie put that on the tvNZ critical?

So Maddie went first and just paid for what he had

Daddy he didn't even offer

I mean, we were two-thirds of the people and we had better breakfast than I

Fair enough. It would have been nice. He doesn't say he was there on the tax payers teat

He doesn't need to be paying for you two. No next on the show the most pointless argument you're gonna hear today

I defy you I do too very strongly, but I defy you to find a worse argument you'll hear next

Before the show today when we were like, what are we doing on the show today? What are we doing?

What was everybody up to?

We got talking because I think I saw this online as oh, no, it wasn't online

It was this Shannon talked about the fact that she

Was talking to some people you did not go to high school with these people

No, so it's my flatmates and we all start went to high school in different cities

So one flatmate grew up in Taranaki. I grew up in Auckland and the others in Christchurch

Is it obvious which one grew up in Taranaki? Yeah, absolutely. Excuse me. I'm right here. This is very rude stringy here

It's and and it's got it's in the finals for one of the towns of the year

I didn't see your town in town of the year Vaughn. We don't need a mess town of the year, maybe

Yeah shots fired so sorry Taranaki you grew up in Auckland

Yeah, and then a Christchurch and where it started was the Taranaki friend

Admitted that when she was at school the classes you went to were called instead of periods

Which I think most of the country calls it

She had spells

What they're like first spell second spell and I was like did you go to Hogwarts?

But she went to an all girls school and apparently having periods was too. Oh, it's been cancelled. Yeah

So they had spells and then it just turned spells. So there was no confusion as to block or a sector

About blocks. That's what we called them. That was the that was the secret you called them periods

But blocks was the secondary

When your first block would be morning and then second block afternoon. I don't know. We just went with periods

Yeah, we had periods and then it became a bigger chat about houses at school and how many you had and what colors they had

This is where I am very passionate about what you're talking about. So yeah, Shannon your school. What was it called?

Howard College Howard College. How many houses did it have six too many? Yeah, we had four. It's always four

It's always four is the magic number for how many school houses there should be

Oh, wait, Jared, you went to a posh private school. I wish Hailey was here today with her. She went to the private Queen Margaret

Yes, I went to a posh private how much how many year houses did you have?

We had four apollo jupiter mariner sadden and they were green red yellow blue

Green no, aren't they normally after named after famous people?

You'd go for the stars space stuff space stuff that's out of this world

Yeah, Shannon's audible grown there gave getting a response for the country

Why six? I guess it was a big school. How many people you just have more people in four houses

You don't need six thousands. I guess because you had like the deans and stuff. I don't know but I was in the pink house

Then here's was it was even problem four because it's the primary colors in green. That's how you color the houses

It was so good for dress-up days because you'd just be a fairy and there was like all these costumes the pink panther was our guy

Pink, okay. Wait, so you've breached copyright for your mascots as well. Yeah, absolutely

Other colors of the houses. So there was like the og's like you're saying and then there was a purple house

And there was an orange and then pink so there was no yellow

There should be a yellow. There should be a yellow. Yeah, there's always yellow blue red green, right?

I've never I've never heard of a school having six houses. What about like ridiculous the biggest high school in the country

What's it along the toto? Okay. Well, how many houses does that have time someone messaged in?

My ex-girlfriend was a around your total girl. I believe they had four

I believe if they can be the biggest the biggest school in the country. Exactly had four. There's no reason how our college

Is and if there's more kids, there's just more kids in each house college you do a competition where the losing houses

A cut from the registrar

Kind of like

Like a football league or a rugby league the bottom tier teams are relegated

Yeah, and they have to fight for their existence

Well, the thing is is I got the choice of which house to be in because my brother went to the school before me

So I got to pick and I picked the pick

You don't get to pick you always just have to go the same one as your family

No, I got the choice and I got to choose if I wanted to be in his tutor group or home room

Or whatever you called it. Oh, this sounds like some strings were pulled

Someone said my school had eight houses

Here we go. Okay. What school had eight houses? I went to a posh private school and we had ten

No, oh my god, what if in your house?

No, no, darling darling. We're talking about houses at school not how many rentals your parents had

Darling darling. Ten houses. That is ridiculous. There's not enough colors

Because you imagine like a school sports day with your houses and there's ten houses. That's ridiculous. It's too many houses

That's too many

It's four houses. It's the Hogwarts formula. It just works. Yeah, that's ridiculous

Blue green red. You see even Hogwarts is blue green red yellow

Someone said we've got five houses. You can't have it on number of houses

You've either got to have four or six

You've got to have four or six. Six is better than five

Which was the bung house at your school?

Alexandra

It was the red else was yellow satin

That was the bad. We were yellow. We were Campbell. I the boarders always used to win

Because they I don't know they had their own house. Yeah, I think they did. Yeah

And they always won because like I don't know the the parents don't love them

I don't know why

Yeah, they were like maybe if my house wins dad will love me and let me live in the family house again

Yeah, a hundred percent not just palm me off and call me the boy when I am home

Maybe he'll remember my name

And so they strive and they strive and they strive and strive and guess what? Yeah, dad. So it doesn't love them

That's tough

Okay, my school had to get rid of my house and we all got reassigned so we had five houses

Was it did they get turned into a mess lab or something?

Like what happened?

You don't get rid of a house to put you yourselves at odds because then if it's versus someone's always going to be left out

Queen Margaret had five houses this this absolutely

Explains Hailey isn't it?

Yeah, Glamis Burwick Stirling Bremner and Lockie

With the houses my mums just messaged me on whatsapp. They had five and one of them was purple

Yeah, our purple was purple and then they had a secondary color of yellow and I was pink with a secondary color of black

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no primary color

It was so unlike dress up day the boys like didn't have to wear pink or they didn't have to wear purple

So they could be purple and yellow

Yeah, right. This is very this should be regulated by the government. I believe so

Uh, with it should four I will vote in the next election for whoever does made a four-house rule

be four houses

Or six not five

It do it if you're one of your chartered schools. That's yeah out of my

It's out of my area

Wild

Cameron boys high has six houses. It's too many houses too many four houses

We ask our school had four houses and they all had names that were um after British soldiers involved in the New Zealand land wars

colonizers yeah, we did too

Yeah

All ours were named after streets where those streets were named after yeah white colonizers. Yeah

Factor of the day is next on the show

My high school didn't have houses apart from the one we lived in because we were homeschooled

Ha ha ha ha

Just a quick touch on um school houses, and we're just talking such a risk. Oh, sorry siri shush

We're not talking about you

siri making a play for hayley's job

um

We're just talking about school houses and how any more than four is too many and it should always be the primary colors plus yellow

That's the rule. Hate it. Hate it response. Keep it simple. Hate it response. We've just learned that at um car wings

college

And which which college did you go to?

Oh, you don't want to say

William Kalenso college kalenso college kalenso college when William Kalenso college. Who was he? He's the advertising agency, isn't he?

He's an advertising agency. He did some he did some treaty stuff. He translated good treaty stuff. Oh, I did a terrible job

He did a terrible job. They didn't have google translate back. He did a shocking job

He didn't the blame get squarely put at his feet from both both parties involved. It was a translation

No, his name was bill the guy that bill kalenso william kalenso william kalenso. Maybe it was him

I feel like you need to do some research before you slag off the high school, but he

Oh, no, not him your school you had houses. How many for correct number or the good correct number. Yeah colors

Blue purple yellow orange terrible terrible now. You didn't have a red. What was the reason you didn't have a red?

It might be gang-affiliated

Munger mob territory

Oh my god, that's amazing, but they put kids in blue

It was sky blue

Also, haven't they got yellow now? Isn't that killer bees?

Everybody's gotta come now. You can't win. Can you? Yeah, all right 8 31. It's time for

Oh

fact of the day

Today's effect of the day is the first day an ancient rome week

It's ancient rome week effect of the day because everybody's always talking about the ancient rome in the empire

Always think of ancient rome at least once a week. How often how often do you think and now that it's been?

Uh brought to our attention that we do think about it. I'm thinking about it even more

Yes, I would normally. Yeah

Like I had a video of ancient aqueducts pop up the other day and I was like, this is amazing

This was ages ago. Like how did they know all of us and phenomenal engineering?

Well, no, I've gone for weird stuff that they did in the rome empire. Yeah, good for this week's fact of the week

Our theme the ancient rome empire today's fact of the day is charioteers

People that drove chariots and gladiators

Drank an energy drink made of goat dung and vinegar

What? Yeah, goodness. I know red bull gives you wings

goat

Dung gives you speed

Apparently yeah, was it like some kind of uh, like gut combutory drink well according to fermented somehow

Pliny the elder who was a roman author naturalist and natural philosopher the philosopher goat dung

Um could be used not only uh for patching up wounds in the case of an emergency

Yeah, the poultice, but also uh mixed with vinegar to make an energy drink

Yeah, yeah gross. Hey the best dung was collected in spring when the grass that they were eating was the

newest new growth full of the nutrients that came with spring

and dried out and then powdered and mixed with vinegar

and

Could be drunk and this is also was by narrow the emperor of

Rome at one stage narrow drank it because it gave him extra strength and speed in the

Targaryen, which is like an equestrian training place for like war equestrian

Not like a sandy square where a horse goes clip plop clip plop. Yeah, okay

Nowadays like it was a far more war. Yeah adjacent training

So that's something to think about if you're tucking into your monster energy drink or red bull or v or

Whatever you're doing. You could just be making your own. I've got a couple of goats. It is spring

Uh, join me at the upcoming cumus summer markets with

I think I would have shut down by the council health department. I do you reckon if you keep that up

Oh, because I didn't prepare it in a commercial kitchen great point

I will take it to a commercial get a commercial kitchen and uh, dry it out and mix it with vinegar

So today's was basically like the roman like equivalent of a wellness influencer. Yeah

Well, my dogs love it. Are they roman?

They'll eat possibly they'll eat goat poo. Yeah when the goats have been on the lawn over one and then they'll go

Speeding around the round. Yeah. Maybe there is something to it. Maybe not worth trying though

So today's fact of the day is if you would like the recipe for an ancient roman energy drink

You are going to need some goat dung and vinegar

Fact of the day day day day day

Visiting casinos a little too often can't seem to stay away from gaming apps

You've joined just remember the house always wins the more you bet the more they get

Don't let the house take your house. Call 1 800 gambler or visit 800 gambler.org

Save some friends in wellington uh on friday night, uh good friends of ours and uh, they're they're ball game people

Oh, are they ball game people?

Shade and I

Not ball game people. Yeah, I'm a ball game person. I'm a game person as long as the rules aren't too complicated

I can't sit down and it's like, okay. This is a new game called

um

settlers of katan, which is

And I understand for people who love it and play it. It's not that complicated. Yeah, I'm done here

But a game like that take on board a game like that or monopoly, you know, you're in for a long time

I don't like those games. I want to be able to tap out. You want to do a few rounds and then I'm done three rounds

You can get out versus playing one round that takes eight hours. Let's just play snap

Well, this game we played is called hues and queues

Hues and queues on juicer shannon shaking and nodding her head. She must love this game. It was a cool game

It was like the spectrum of colors

And they each had a square assigned to them

Yeah, and there was a code like abcd fg across the top and the numbers down the side

This is already too complicated for me. So it could be like

C18. Yep. So you I'm playing I pick up a card. It's got four colors on there. I pick one

Now I can't say that color. Okay. I'm also saying blue is pointless because there's a thousand one or a thousand

Yeah, there might be like 25 blues on there. Okay, so blue narrows that down a little bit

But not enough. Yeah, you have to pick first round

One word to describe that color

Oh, okay one word like it's not a lot of me

Yep, could I say the ocean the sky can I say sky you could say sky but the sky has so many blues

Is it dark? Well, this is bloody stupid. What's this?

Well, so that's the challenge is coming up with the right single right word now everybody else playing puts their counter on

The square they think you're talking about. I like this. I like this. Then there's the second round

Yep, well, you get to use two words to describe the color. Yeah, but you can't say something like

lighter sky

Right, you can't use a word that would point someone who's in the right direction closer to it

It has to be two words unrelated to like

The color to darker to lighter richer or whatever

So you have to come up with two words to describe the color even better right people are already around

The area or someone's bang on it

I with the way we played it you didn't have to do a second round

Because you get points by how close people are and they get points by how close they are right

So this guy is a fun game. Yeah, right

But now has it caused an argument my friend johnny and I were

In sync like there were three rounds three or four rounds where literally I put my counter on the exact square

He was talking about can vice versa. Okay, however sharday lacked

But this is classic her and then she can think of it's like wait wait

Cranium calls an argument and craniums absolutely banned from our house

And I'm like, I don't know keep going keep going sure like I give up

If you don't have it by now, you're not gonna get it. Yeah, I will just keep going

And that's yeah, so one for example, she had a green. Oh, yeah, we don't know what kind of green

Okay, we didn't even know it was a green. We didn't know the color and she said kermit

Now that's a very specific green if you're a fan of kermit the frog. Yeah, it is. Yeah original

Muppet show. Yeah frog a very specific. Is she allowed is she allowed to say she's allowed to say kermit? Oh, that's good. Okay, so with I

We all kind of surround the same green. Oh, okay. That's kermit's green. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and then it's not in her mind

That's not kermit's green

And then I'm well, I picked two more words to describe it. Okay, and she says

Right kermit meaning go to the right

No, you can't do that. You can't do that. Exactly. You haven't even bought it. You know the rules. I know you can't do that. You can't do that

So how did she take that she didn't take that well? No, no

She didn't take that well and she couldn't think of another word to describe it and she'd already said it right

Okay, so we knew it was to the right so we

And then next round johnny said

What did he say the first purple he said something along the lines of like

Cadbury and then the next one he said vivacious

No, something else and he said vivacious cabri and I put it right on the one. She's like, how did you get vivacious cadbury but not right kermit?

No, because that's loud. That's just saying a really bright nice purple. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey mate

You don't need to explain it to me. I know I mean we get if you're brave enough next time you say shut up. I dare to explain it to her

But I'll be all right. I'll be all right

But just uh add it to the list of another board game that we can't play it's banned. Yeah

Zm's fletch one and hailey

Please phone and hailey the shoe. Thanks to mccafe start your day with a great tasting mccafe coffee

perfect

I just got um targeted advertising for an expensive perfume side note before we talk about the scam we went into the shop this

Mecca. Yes. Is that a shot? Yes. It is

Yeah, when I was walking around my wife and I traded off. She's like, I'll come into your shops if you come into my shops

Oh my god, I felt like I was um in a hetero couple at the weekend because I went

It was so horrible. I um went uh shopping with hailey and melbourne. Oh, yeah

I sat in the seat in this woman's shop that men sit in when they're waiting for their girlfriends and uh wives to

Try on a million dresses. Yeah. Yeah. It sucks. Yeah. It was a big black sack

No, it was it. I told her I told her up. No, it was a floral. It was actually floral. Yeah. Yeah

It was going against her current looks, but yeah, that's not. Oh my god. How do you do it?

No, thanks. I prefer shopping on my own but it's good going shopping with them because I get to sit there and be like

Like that and that really deters her spending money

Okay, right. What do you think of this hence why she probably sneaks up in shops when you're not around bingo

That's it, but I saw that expensive perfume. Maybe hailey was like I've got that bottle of expensive perfume

She wouldn't tell us how much it cost

Really?

I thought it was a typo

I was a decimal point. Yeah, right. Oh my god. Nuts out of control nuts. Okay. Anyway. Yeah, it's a whole thing

I'm a wife seige because then my deal was she got I dragged her into like the nerd shops the comic shops the anime shops

And she said I got a question. Yeah, I was like great. She's interested. She's he why is everything so sexual in here

Because the nerds a very good point. I said nerds get horny. They do. Yeah, that's the end even nerds have needs of our shopping adventure

Now we are going to the producer's birth to hear about a new facebook scam

And this is to be avoided. Remember do not pass judgment on an older person or a person in your life

Is not as tech savvy as you if they ask for help because if you if you like laugh at them or make fun of them

They won't come to you next time

And your inheritance will be gone. Your inheritance will be gone. Yeah

Just like that. Great. That's great

advice

Okay, so this is a facebook marketplace scam

Facebook marketplace, of course it is

So you are selling an item someone says hey, I want to buy this

I will arrange the shipping myself and you go vets really handy. It's so nice of them

I know and then they send you a link which goes to a page that either looks like

No, it usually looks like mz post. Okay, but it asks you to log in

Sus don't do that. Don't do that. There's not on my accounts there. I'd log in for my account

But it's not

Because I don't have an NZ post account. Do you know the real me?

Yes, you can use that. Mine's about to expire. Why did you get that thing saying your real me's about to expire?

Yeah, I did and then I expired and I didn't exist for a bit

Because either it was a scam at first, but then it said don't click any links to do with this

Just go and log in as you normally would right. Okay, that's how you know it's not

But the other form of the scam is that they say yeah, cool

It's all sorted just pop your bank details in so that you can get the money that I've paid you

For the shipping on they get you that's how they get you right

Right, don't do it. So and then they have your bank detail your login details for your bank

Okay, slowly slowly slowly take like two dollars every couple weeks and you don't see it happening

And I would notice I would notice that you notice two dollars. I noticed two dollars

Okay

Do you go into the account

To see I just do that thing where it's a quick check of the balances and I'm like, yes, sweet. That's enough for a sausage roll

No, I'd notice I'd notice because they're like

I'm about to buy a sausage roll and it's telling me that pay wave is going to cost me more or credit card

So I need to know use the f-boss. All right. Okay flick open the app and it's like f-boss account. It's like, yeah, that's enough

I wouldn't notice two dollars going

But you don't like even go on so for your yeah, yeah

At the end of the month when I'm like, where's it all gone? Yeah

And you bet yeah by the end of the month you wouldn't notice two dollars in a month's worth of transactions

But you would if it was like two dollars every day

Yeah

100 I'd say hey if there's gonna be a small amount of money leaving my account for absolutely nothing

That's the bank's job. Yeah, and if it's not the bank taking it, then I'd notice. Well, it's a scam doing the rounds

So just watch out for that one

Oh

Hey guys, I reckon that was the most fun I've ever had on a show
