Welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe.
Try their refreshing McCafe iced coffee available now at Macca's.
So yesterday for the first time, Aaron and I went for a little walk in the Riverhead Forest.
Vaughan, that's out your way. Have you been?
I've not been to the Riverhead Forest.
This is a giant,
like, is it a pine forest?
Massive pine forest
and there's heaps.
Are you hunting for psychedelics?
Someone was.
Yeah, Tony.
Someone was.
People go into the Riverhead Forest
looking for mushies.
There are mushrooms
like lining the pathways
and I went,
there was like,
okay, side story.
There was a woman there
and her husband
and they had bags
and they were collecting
these mushrooms and then I said to Aaron, I was like, what do you reckon those mushrooms are? And then he was like, okay, side story. There was a woman there and her husband and they had bags and they were collecting these mushrooms.
And then I said to Aaron,
I was like,
what do you reckon
those mushrooms are?
And then he was like,
I don't know.
And as we saw them
at the end of the walk,
I said, what kind of mushrooms?
She said,
they are wild mushrooms
and they taste amazing.
And she's gone to her car.
I was like.
What?
That was her accent.
I love it.
I don't know.
She was like sort of
Eastern European or something.
Where is the mushrooms
Yeah
They're wild mushrooms
You inspire us
To be creative darling
Yes
You've really got to
Back yourself
If you're going to
Forage mushrooms
I know
Some of them look dodgy
Some of them were like
Those ones that were like
Orangey red
With like white dots
Like a cartoon
I love those mushrooms
Don't eat them
You don't eat them
Don't eat them
I know you love
Looking at them
Yes I love the look of them I imagine there you don't eat them. You don't eat them. Oh, my God, don't eat them. Don't eat them. I know you love looking at them. Yes.
Yeah, I love the look of them.
I imagine there's a smurf living in there.
Because I imagine the red means danger, right?
Yeah, yeah, that's usually the thing.
The nature technique.
The raspberries, delicious.
Yeah.
Cherry's delicious.
Dangerously moorish.
Yeah.
Oh, there he is.
Anyway, so we went in for this walk,
and this is the first time that we've been into this forest,
but it's very pathed out.
Right.
And we got there and I was like,
Aaron's got a backpack on.
And we were going,
we were like,
what do we do?
Like 60,
90 minutes maybe.
Okay.
And then I was like,
what do you got in your backpack?
It looks heavy.
And Aaron had packed like not only two bottles of water,
he had packed a leather belt in case one of us fell and we had to like-
Tourniquet.
Tourniquet.
Literally he used the word.
What?
He was like, leather will do anything.
He said, if you're bleeding and I need to stop the blood, I can do that.
You're going for a walk in the forest at the back of your house.
I know.
Honestly.
Like 90 minutes.
We didn't even go for a hike.
People get lost in there.
He had a safety blanket, one of those tinfoil blankets. Yeah, of course he People get lost in there He had a safety blanket One of those tinfoil blankets
Yeah of course he did
In there
He had a
Like a knife
You know like a
With all the bits and bobs in it
This is over
He had like bandages
He had
So much stuff
Always back to bed
He was like
Only a fool
Goes into the bush
Unprepared
You're not going into the bush
You're going into a wolf.
No, people get lost in there all the time.
It's massive and there's, as you said, just a multitude of paths.
Yeah, but it's not 1,800 metres above sea level.
He had to walk this whole thing with this massive backpack on his back
just in case I had lost my limb and he had to get the leather belt out
and stop the bleeding.
I mean, bless. And the day that this happens
and I fall down a cliffside and
He won't have it.
I'll be grateful. Because you mocked him so relentlessly
for it, he finally decides to leave it.
He just wouldn't hear a bar of him mocking.
I was like, this is OTT. He's got one of those
warmth blankets.
It's chilly. It's getting to a chilly time of the year.
It wasn't even chilly yesterday.
You're not going to be out there.
Only a fool goes into the bush unprepared, apparently.
The bush, yes, absolutely.
If you're going into the mountains in our rugged back country, absolutely.
But you were going for a walk in a little forest.
How was the walk then?
We got very lost, though, because it's not signposted at all.
And it's a shared track
with mountain bikers
and stuff.
So you're constantly like
I don't like those shared paths
because all of a sudden
you just hear
and it's a mountain biker
going full tilt
around a corner.
Yeah but I mean
there was no signs
nothing to follow
so we just kind of
kept going up
and then we'd find
like a mountain bike path down
and then up and down
and up and down.
It was a bloody good walk
but no harm was done. Yeah. And so
the belt remained in the backpack.
For next time.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and
Hayley.
Thanks, Rachel.
Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch,
Vaughn and Hayley. Happy Monday.
Short week. Short week.
Short week. Short little week.
Short little week.
Couple of short little weeks, actually.
Yeah.
A chubby little week.
Because there'll be Easter Monday next Monday.
A chode of a week.
A chode of a week?
Yeah, it's wide and short.
Yeah.
Well, no, technically it's not a chode, is it?
Because the weekend's not as wide.
Oh, no, it is because it's quarter.
No, the weekend is.
It's not as long or wide.
It's square.
Four days a week.
Technically, if you're going Sunday to Sunday. No, the weekend is. It's not as long or wide. It's square. Four days of work, then four days of weekend.
Technically, if you're going Sunday to Sunday.
Now, who's going Sunday to Sunday?
Get up to play.
The week starts on Monday.
It doesn't.
None of this, the week starts on Sunday.
Oh, I would count it as,
you start counting when the work week starts
and you finish counting when the weekend ends.
So it's four by four. Right.
Okay. So it's a chody week.
A couple of chody weeks.
Happy chody week.
The long weekend group
tote, that means.
This Thursday, eight o'clock. Join us
for that. Secret Sound continues.
$100,000.
Seven o'clock, eight o'clock, your next chance is to get in.
The top six is on the way.
There's another shortage.
Oh, this one will really hit home for everybody listening.
It's a butler shortage.
Not at my house.
You've still got your butler?
Full staff.
Full staff at my house.
I didn't spend years mentally tormenting my staff to have them walk away.
No.
They actually had Stockholm Syndrome.
Also, you hide their passports in your safe, so they can't leave.
You think they've got passports?
I burnt those the minute they got here.
They're not going anywhere.
So this is apparently like luxury lodges and hotels that employ butlers.
Imagine. Imagine. Imagine being employ butlers. Imagine.
Imagine.
Imagine a butler.
Yeah.
I would feel so bad.
I don't have those
at the Holiday Inn,
do they?
Yeah, but I can't get a...
Oh, no, don't worry about it.
I'll get it.
I'll get it.
Actually, no, no,
you sit down.
You have the bath.
You come here.
Just chill out.
Do you want a beer?
If I'm getting a beer,
do you want a beer?
I'll get you a beer.
Yeah, it's not really,
it's not very Kiwi, is it?
But that's the thing, it's for overseas tourists mostly, isn't it?
Right, well, there's a butler shortage.
Yeah, that's why most of them have left.
Top six solutions to the butler shortage.
All right, coming up on the show next, though.
Oh, we're going to start cute.
A doggy is in a bit of trouble with the law.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Sometimes I wish so deeply
where this was on TV right now
and people could see the image.
I encourage you to Google it
after I share this story with you.
There's a guy in the UK,
sorry, in Germany, actually,
and he received a speeding fine in the mail.
Okay.
He was like, God, that's terrible.
And he opened it up only to find the photo.
You know how they snap a pic of you?
Have you ever had a speeding ticket where they snap a picture of you?
Well, I think in New Zealand, is it true if you request,
you have to pay the moolah?
Oh, really?
Oh.
I've requested pictures once, and I got sent them and very swiftly paid the fine. Oh, when? Oh, I've requested pictures once and I got sent them
and very swiftly paid the fine.
Oh, when?
Oh, when did I drive in a bus lane?
Oh, I want proof.
And you're like, here you go.
And then you are like,
oh, you got a photo with your parking,
that was a parking ticket.
You look like a burglar.
That was a parking ticket, yeah.
I looked like I was thieving.
He had a big box in a hoodie,
just like.
It was raining too
and I was like nipping back to my car
because I'd been in a loading zone.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Classic.
Well, this guy, I think obviously in Germany that just comes with a photo
as proof of the ticket.
But it's not a photo of him.
There's the steering wheel, the little steering wheel popping out
at the top of the photo and then it's a dog,
like a little tiny little puppy sitting behind the wheel
just sort of looking straight forward.
He's on the owner's lap while the owner's driving.
The owner's reclined and sitting back.
No, so what happened was like the guy was driving along
and to be fair, he was speeding.
And apparently the dog usually has its own little seatbelt.
Right.
Of course it does.
What would you call it?
It's not like a Pomeranian.
It looks like that, yeah.
It's like a small little silly dog.
Yeah.
And then apparently the dog like jumped,
he didn't have it in the little seatbelt on this very day,
jumped on his lap for all of three seconds
and that just happened to be the moment that he got snapped.
Because it looks like the dog's driving.
It looks like the dog's driving
because his little paws are up on the wheel.
Like this.
And he's just looking dead for it.
Unfortunately, he did have to pay the 50 euros.
Pretty worth for the photo.
How fast was he going?
That's quite a cheap speeding fine. Oh, it was only like less than 10 over.
Oh, right.
Okay.
So I've Googled and you can request a speed camera photo for free online.
It's free.
Can't you?
I swear it used to be.
I think when it used to be,
because didn't they used to actually be camera rolls in there?
Well, definitely.
Back in the day?
Like film.
Like I don't think they've always been digital.
And now I remember when they installed digital ones
and they're like, good luck,
because we can take thousands of things now.
Yeah, yeah, because they'd only ever deal out the top percentage of them, eh? But digital ones and they're like, good luck because we can take thousands of things out.
Yeah, yeah, because they'd only ever deal out the top percentage of them,
eh?
But then digital, they're like, I can do this all day, baby.
Yeah.
Well, this one, I would frame this.
I would get a print on a T-shirt.
It's so stupid.
You can't even see the driver's face.
Ten past six.
I made something yesterday.
I've crafted. I have something yesterday. I've crafted.
I have lathe'd.
Oh, no.
You know what you lathe'd last time?
Oh, no, this is slightly more practical.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Yesterday, I returned to the lathe after a wee lathe break.
I think when I hurt my back, I stopped lathing.
Right.
The lathe I got for my birthday from my friends.
And I tried to make, I tried to finish making this wooden goblet that I was making.
Oh, okay.
Like a drinking cup.
Yeah.
Oh.
But I had a disaster and the top chipped off, so I had to make it a shorter.
Oh, it's a champagne.
Yeah.
Oh, it's weird.
Is it like an egg cup?
Yes.
Like a little.
It does look like an egg cup.
Eggs and soldiers.
Here's a picture of it.
It's because the base was supposed to be for a taller top.
So it's got this like.
It looks like a shot glass.
It's a chody.
It's like a bloody door handle.
It does look like a.
I can make door handles.
It does. It's a chody little cup's like a bloody door handle. It does look like a, I can make door handles. It does.
It's a chody little cup
because it was supposed to be taller on the top,
but the top chipped off,
so I just had to,
I had to retcon.
It would be a,
that's,
no one's ever put a handle on a shot glass.
Yeah,
it's got a,
this is a shot glass bottom
with a good weight on the bottom.
You're not going to knock this over.
It's classy.
There's nothing about that
that's dainty,
Fletch.
And then, that's thick. It's classy. There's nothing about that that's dainty, Fletch. And then...
That's thick.
It's thick.
It's thick.
After I did that, I was on a roll, so I was like, I'm going to give this a go.
And I made a rolling pin.
I made Sharts a rolling pin for all those pastries she's always making.
Did she want a rolling pin?
She hadn't mentioned it.
Ooh.
Yeah, sorry.
This is my first rolling pin.
The handles, no, the handles are the same length.
You just can't see the entire handle because it's
hidden, but it's on an angle.
I took a lot of time to make the handles
almost identical.
The rolling bit's
good, isn't it? It's thick.
The handles are, yeah. But then I was like, how long?
This is the sort of thing you probably need
to look into before you just start with a huge piece of wood spinning at 3,000 RPM
and you start putting a chisel against it.
Like, I didn't know how long rolling pins were.
I don't know.
Because I just kind of, like, had this bit of wood,
so I put my hands on the side and I was like,
I'm going to imagine the rolling part's got to be quite big.
Yeah.
I don't think there's a hard and fast rule about the length of a rolling pin.
You're so close to having...
It's got to be able to fit in the drawer.
Yeah.
Mine doesn't.
We haven't seen if this fits in the drawer.
I have to have mine in the little pantry.
Because I've got a giant long one.
Yeah, you want a big long one, eh?
It's a long one.
But it's got these coloured things you can put on the end.
So you can have the same thickness when you roll stuff.
Far apart.
I know.
It's pretty bougie.
What do you mean,
I don't understand?
It's pretty bougie.
Oh, wait, so it lifts
effectively like a jack.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's got these like wheels
that go on the end.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I see what you mean.
I got it at like
students.
That's flash.
One of those places.
But that's how I always know
you made a homemade pizza
is one part of the crust
is like thick and one part of the crust is like thick
and one part is like super thin.
One's so thin it's like you can see through it.
Yeah.
And it's cooked and it's crisp and it goes.
Not in my house.
You're an even roller.
Yeah, three mils.
Three mils.
Wow.
Three mils though.
I don't have a rolling pin.
I'm going to make you a rolling pin.
Make Hayley a rolling pin.
I've just got to wait for the tree we cut down at your place last week. I thought that would be a nice pin. I'm going to make your rolling pin. Make Hayley a rolling pin. I've just got to wait for the tree we cut down
at your place last week.
I thought that would be
a nice touch.
I took some wood
and I'm going to make it.
Oh, right.
But there's a really long one
so I'm going to make
the longest rolling pin
I can on my lathe.
Yeah.
I'll have to get
a custom made draw for it.
That's what I had in mind.
I wonder if that is
going to fit in our draw.
It's a girthy boy.
You'll need to do that thing
in the,
what do you call it?
I call it an implement drawer.
Yeah.
Utensil.
Utensil drawer.
Implements?
Implements.
And then you,
well you push,
you put your hand
and you push everything
to the side
so you can fit in like a,
because it can't sit on top.
Usually it's like
the soup ladle
or one of the biggest spoons
or the potato masher.
Always the masher
or the ladle.
That stupid son of a bitch.
Those guys have to
top and tail in a drawer.
Yeah.
Yes.
Because they take up so many ladle that way, potato masher this way to top and tail in a drawer. Yeah. Because they take up so many.
Ladle that way, potato masher this way.
So that might need a drawer clear before I pop that in.
You're so close to being one of those old mates in a market selling wooden spoons.
So there's a guy, someone sent me a photo at Queenstown, the Queenstown markets.
Yeah.
There's a guy called Vaughn and it's like Vaughn's Wooden Goods.
Oh, he's taken, you can't overtake him.
And somebody said, we thought it might have been you.
I was like, yeah, because I make all my stuff in Auckland
and then fly to Queenstown to sell it.
I mean, you've got to go where the people with the money are.
Of course.
But then they went up and looked and they were like, oh, hi,
and had a quick look and walked away.
And then this grumpy old bugger said,
it wasn't even worth getting out of bed this morning.
That's me.
That's you.
It might just be me.
It does sound like you.
Yeah.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Good news and bad news.
Is this good, good, bad, good?
No, just good and bad.
Okay.
Do you want the good or the bad?
Yeah, you always start with the bad.
The bad news is New Zealand's average life expectancy has dropped.
It dropped in 2021.
Oh.
It went up in
2028. Yeah, but it's still
higher than it was pre-pandemic.
Wow. Why?
Good old us.
Do they know why? Not as old as we were
us. I guess we let
COVID in, didn't we?
Yeah, we let COVID in.
The gangs spread it
around, remember? And then it was all over.
I thought you meant the gangs were going around
like executing old people.
How old are you?
We don't know.
82.
Sorry, mate.
So this comes from Virginia Commonwealth University
and the University of Colorado
who studied life expectancy
with the US and other nations around the world.
And yeah, so along with Norway and South Korea, New Zealand was only
one of three countries to gain life
expectancy since 2019.
So that's why there's good and bad
news. Like we dipped a little, but
we're still up. So we gained
it and then we've dipped a bit, but we're still up.
The average New Zealander is
expected to live to be 81.99.
So let's round up.
Does it have the gender breakdown?
82.
It does not.
Oh.
Which would you just assume like normally would be women.
Females higher than males.
But then I was wondering if one in particular had dropped away in 2021,
dragging the overall average down.
Well, men fear worse from COVID.
They do.
Don't they?
More mortalities?
Is that right?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's, I mean, it's, you know,
they suffer from colds and flus worse than ladies.
That's why I had my balls.
They genuinely do.
I had my balls removed at the weekend.
Oh, did you?
That's the major difference.
COVID precaution.
Yeah, COVID precaution for COVID.
I don't want long COVID, so that's all.
Yeah, right.
No, no, no, no.
I can't see any use of them.
Chop them off.
You should do the same fledge.
82 though.
That's 50 years away for me.
I'm not going to have
the KiwiSaver left over.
Oh, mine's going to run out
within the first year
at this rate.
Do they just give it to you all
when you get to 65
and then you just...
You can lump some of it
or drip it.
Because that'd be me.
I'd just be like,
oh God, let's go on a cruise.
Yeah, let's go on a holiday
and then it'll all be gone.
Live on a cruise ship and then when it's done wrap yourself in a carpet and huck yourself off the boat. Yeah, I'm just be like, oh God, let's go on a cruise. Yeah, let's go on a holiday. And then it'll all be gone. Live on a cruise ship and then when it's
done, wrap yourself in a carpet and huck yourself
off the back. Yeah, I'm out of there.
How will you get over the railings
in a carpet? Easy. Well, you just have to
run at it, hobble at it. Hold the edges.
Yeah, hold the edges so it doesn't
unravel.
This is my idea.
And feel free to use this if you want to roll yourself
up in a rug and huck yourself off the back of a cruise ship. I don't want to take Velcro strips. Oh, yeah, nice. That's a my idea. And feel free to use this if you want to roll yourself up in a rug and huck yourself off the back of a cruise ship.
I don't want to take Velcro strips.
Oh, yeah, nice.
That's a great idea.
So then, you know, there's some Velcro,
and then you roll around and it holds the rug shut.
Now, if you picture I'm like this,
and then I just take a one-way rug.
Because you won't be able to see.
All you've got to do is get more than 50% of your total body weight over the rail.
No, do you know what's going to happen?
You know how on cruise ships there's the top deck and the bottom one's longer?
Oh, yeah.
So you're going to flip because when you're in the tube of the ride, you can't see.
No.
So you'll just be like that and you'll just hit the rail at the waist.
You'll have to be airlifted to Florida.
Oh, no.
And you'll end up, yeah, just in a hospital.
You'll still be alive even in a hospital.
Will they winch me off?
Yeah.
Okay, that's when I have my back at night in my pocket.
I undo the back and I cut myself.
Cut the rope.
Yeah.
Or you could just spread out your KiwiSaver money.
This isn't a KiwiSaver issue.
Right.
This is just once I've done what I want to do.
Right, okay.
Yeah.
I want to leave a little something behind now.
You're already whinging about your back pain now.
Yeah, I know.
I'm under halfway.
Just under halfway.
Oh, God.
That's depressing.
That's depressing.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Yum.
A study out of America has said that two-thirds of young adults,
and actually you brought up the other day that you had to fill in a form
and the only option was young adult or middle-aged.
Yeah.
So this includes you.
You're a young adult.
Fantastic.
This pertains to you.
Two-thirds of young adults dread doing laundry,
citing it as the worst chore.
The worst of all the chores.
Laundry.
I don't mind that.
That would be my probably most favourite.
I think it's because it's never ending, right?
It's every single day.
Yes.
I mean, more so if you've got kids.
If you've got kids, it's every day.
Multiple times a day.
I do it maybe a couple times a week.
Yeah, I wear a t-shirt.
Do you wear like three?
Do you get stinky sitting there?
Well, this is why I buy lots of socks and undies.
Yeah, I got a hell of a lot.
Because then you don't have to do as much.
Well, yeah, two-thirds as well say that they avoid wearing their favourite clothes
because they don't want to have to wash them and potentially ruin them.
Because I don't mind doing laundry.
I actually enjoy it.
So satisfying. You know that first time you have to wash a sweatshirt?
And you're like, goodbye.
You're like, goodbye, you'll never be this new.
You'll never be the same.
And I've tried every trick in the book with clothes.
I've shrunk so many clothes.
I enjoy doing laundry, but I'm not very good at it.
I can't get stains out.
I always shrink things. And then you always have to I enjoy doing laundry, but I'm not very good at it. I can't get stains out. I can't.
I always shrink things.
And then you always have to buy a bottle of hair conditioner.
Have you ever done that?
No.
So.
A fabric softener.
No, hair conditioner.
If you shrink something, like a jumper in the wash,
and it gets a little bit tight, a little short in the arms,
you soak it in hair conditioner,
and it relaxes the fibers of the fabric. Like shampoo. Yeah, and then you can gently And it relaxes the fibres of the fabric
Like shampoo
Yeah and then you can like
Gently like pull it out a little bit
Without stretching
Without stretching
Huh
Relaxes the fibres of the fabric
Relaxes the fibres
Really?
Yeah
Yeah
Because I love
I love the washing part
I love separating
It's always your socks and your undies
Go together
And you give them a little bit of a hotter wash
Yeah
Then it's like t-shirts
Or light cottons.
And then maybe a pair of pants might end up in their shorts, perhaps.
Yeah.
But not a heavy track pant.
And then I do a heavy wash of like your sweatshirts, your jeans, your denim.
And then I hang them all out separately.
With same color pegs.
Yep.
And you're not a monster that puts towels in with t-shirts.
Are you kidding me?
Who was I raised by?
No, sir.
I know.
It's terrible.
Yeah.
I don't think I ever did that.
You know when you first leave home?
Yeah.
I think my mum gave me sort of a crash course in laundry.
She's like, here's the one thing you don't want to do.
You don't want to put your towels in with anything
because it's just going to ruin everything.
And so I never did, but I know I had flatmates
all the way through. Towel,
tea towels, undies. Yeah, everything of theirs
went in one wash.
This is madness. It's not the worst chore.
The windows. Doing the windows or
like dusting and skirting
boards. Fly poo off the ceiling.
That's the worst.
Those little brown dots.
You use exit mould. No. The easiest. Don't use exit mould. Baby wipes. ceiling oh yeah the worst yeah you use those little brown dots you use sugar exit mold no
the easiest exit mold baby wipes oh really baby wipes are good for fly poos oh because they're
gentle on the paint yes but they um they dissolve it there's something in it yeah right oh my god
when we sold our house we had you maybe left the ceiling a little bit and there was some fly poos
and then you know how you can't paint over it?
Why can't you paint over it? It bleeds through.
Oh, does it? It's magic.
So you've got to clean it. At our place, when we did our ceilings
like years of fly poo, it had never been
cleaned. They had to oil
paint it. Yes.
To seal it in.
But what if the flies start
breaking out? They start hatching. No, it's not eggs, it's poopsies. It, to seal it in. Effectively seal it in. But what if the flies start breaking out?
They start hatching.
No, it's not eggs.
It's poopsies. It's poopsies.
Okay, I'll feel.
The eggs don't come out of the poops.
They come out of when they lay the eggs in like meat.
So the maggots have got something to eat when they hatch.
Well, I, in the last house, this is just before,
this is like a week before open home started.
And I was like, oh, do you know what I'm going to do? Do you know what would be good
on this? It's a bit of sugar scope and a bit of scouring.
And then so I sugar scoped
and scoured
the ceiling. And I did it so, I stripped all the
paint, but we had to paint all the ceilings.
We had to like quickly paint the ceilings.
You could be very gentle with them. You could be gentle.
Baby wipes. See, that job's worse.
Way worse than doing laundry.
I don't like folding laundry because I can't.
Yeah, but you've got the retail fold.
I've never learned the retail fold.
Oh, my God.
You've just got to get your fingers involved.
Oh, my God.
Every time I'm in a store and I pack up a T-shirt
and then I can't put it down the right way,
I'm just like, I need to leave the store now.
No, they prefer you to leave it than fold it.
Manky, eh?
Yeah, yeah.
I'll pass that to me.
Like folding a T-shirt in the middle
so there's the split up the middle.
No.
No, good.
I'll teach you the T-shirt fold.
From the bustling ZM think tank,
this is the top six.
Well, hello.
Is that how a butler talks?
Good morning, ma'am.
No?
No.
Don't they say master?
Hello, master. Hello, master.
Hello, master.
You rang.
Master, master, master.
Who's that lurch?
You rang.
Adam's family had lurch.
Not monsters.
I'm going to get corrected on that by someone who's a big fan of 1960s
black and white monster-based television.
So Queenstown has a shortage.
It's what they have described as an unusual staff and quandary.
It can't find any trained butlers.
I didn't even know, in all seriousness,
that butlers were a thing in New Zealand.
This must be like high-end accommodation.
The Carlin Hotel opened last week in Queenstown.
Chuck that a Google. We're both there. Everyone's having a Google. The Carlin Hotel opened last week in Queenstown. Chuck, go to Google.
All everyone's having to Google.
It's been a challenging few years.
Constant price increases for building supplies
and its chief executive, Kevin Carlin
of Carlin Hotel
said
we have
department managers all aboard but again
bartenders, food service, housekeepers and butlers.
Oh my god, look, there's a butler there.
He's sexy.
So I just Googled Carlin Hotel on hotels.com.
Prices from $2,270 a night.
Oh my God, we should go.
We should go.
I mean, unless it's going to be $200 or something for the weekend.
Or they get a special.
Yeah, you're getting a special.
I don't know if I'll be staying here.
Getting a booking.com ticket.
Looks lovely, though.
Where's this, in Queenstown?
Yeah.
Show me whereabouts.
Whereabouts in Queenstown is it?
It's up on the hill.
It's up on the hill.
It's up on the hill,
ladies and gents.
It's overlooking the lake.
Lake Wakatipu.
It's beautiful, guys.
It looks amazing.
You get your own private
little spa on the deck.
I think I know that one.
Yeah, right.
You see it,
when you're up on
the skyline luge,
it's to your left. That part of Queenstown. Yeah, right. Up the back of you're up on the skyline luge, it's to your left.
That part of Queenstown.
Yeah, right.
Up the back of town.
Oh, there's a butler.
Look.
In one of the photos.
In the Eagle's Nest suite.
Oh.
I don't like it when people call luxury accommodation the Eagle's Nest because Hitler had an Eagle's
Nest.
Yeah, he did.
Yeah.
As part of staying there, you can hire a Maserati.
Is it included in the $2,200 or on top?
No, no, no, additional.
I'd be like, yeah, come on.
You'd drive it downtown, you wouldn't be able to get a car.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, but look, this butler, he's got a cheese board.
And there's all kinds of stuff on there.
So it's really hard to find a butler in New Zealand,
Kevin Carlin goes on to say.
We don't have a butler school like they do in China or America or Europe.
Oh, okay.
See, Kevin sounds posh, but then he said
China or America or Europe. He should have
said China, America or Europe.
Comma, comma, comma. Yeah, he's misused
the common use. He might as well have said,
how to find a butler don't have it in China
and America and Europe
and me. Well, you're not getting an invite
to the hotel, are you?
I was just munging him down because he seems wealthy.
I would love a stay at the Carlin.
It looks lovely, doesn't it?
Okay, but can't you just hire a Darrow Aussie who's over for the ski season?
They don't want that Darrow.
They walk in, they'll be like, how's it going?
Seawards, you guys want some shoes?
I had a Nibble on the way up.
We've got a Maserati if you want it.
The Maser?
You want to go for a Mas?
I've got a Mazzotti downstairs.
Yeah.
Don't do any doughies though,
because I did and I got told off.
I told them to stick their job up their ass.
So in a while I just came to say,
I hate your cheese.
Top six ways to solve the butler shortage.
That's today's top six.
Number six.
Get my mum to shame the wealthy
into doing their own shit.
They'll be like,
ding dong,
she was sick of hidden.
Yes.
Could we have a cheese board, please?
What did your last life die of?
Slam.
Oh, yeah.
We're a little pickish.
Well, there's an apple.
Have an apple.
We don't want an apple.
You can't be that pickish.
Bam.
Slams the door.
She'd put them in their place Absolutely
Absolutely
Can we have a little
Pretty dinner snack
You'll ruin your appetite
And I've made schnitzel
With a nice coating
Rich people might actually
Pay extra to be treated like that
I know some
Do you know what I mean
I might be able to make a fortune
Humiliating rich people
Who get off on get humiliated.
Calling them,
you povo.
Yeah, you think
you're better than me?
Yeah.
Number five on the list
is the top six ways
to solve the butler shortage.
Make them use
their kids as butlers.
Oh, okay.
So the kids will grow up
with a healthy disdain
for the super wealthy
and they'll end up
eating them.
Okay, yeah.
Eat the rich.
When everyone says
eat the rich, everyone says Eat the rich
I'm like
How rich we talking?
Yeah, we don't want gout
Yeah
Oh yeah
You don't want to get that
You know
Oh, ah
All the rich food
I've been eating
It's important
If you're eating the rich
Just have some veggies in there
A lot of greens
And some acid
Some lemon
To cut through the richness
Yes
You know what I mean?
Some vinegar Some cilantro Some sort of cooling things To cut through the richness you know what I mean some vinegar, some cilantro
some sort of cooling things to cut through the richness
and some greens, so that's people who
vote for the greens
they're not rich
exactly why you need it to make you appreciate
some poor greens and some nice thick riches
number four on the list of the top six
ways to solve the butler shortage, robot butlers
oh yeah
I'm talking them Boston Dynamic
freaky ass running cheater things.
Did you see they had those, China's got the
robot dogs out patrolling their
lockdown? Yeah.
It's real dystopian.
360 cameras on them, mate. So someone's just sitting there
watching. I think it reports them.
It's got the facial recognition software
in it as well. Turn on you.
That was literally an episode of Black Mirror, right?
It really was, yeah.
It was.
Where they got chased down by the robot dogs
for being where they shouldn't have been.
Number three on the list of the top six ways
to solve the butler shortage is make it not a shortage.
Tipping isn't a thing here and neither should butlers be.
So you might get some room service,
but you're not getting a butler.
Number two on the list of the top six ways to solve the butler shortage.
Take turns being butler.
Okay.
Like the husband's the butler.
Oh, yeah.
And then the wife or the wife and the wife or the husband and the husband.
I'm not here to force my heteronormative.
Well, look at this bedroom.
It's great for a role play, isn't it?
A butler role play.
Oh, yeah, but you still got to go and stay in this fancy place.
You could F word the butler.
Yes.
You could.
Yeah.
Can I get a cheese board?
In the Maserati.
You get more than the cheese board.
Oh, yeah.
And then you could, like,
play Batman and Alfred.
There was some stuff going on
in that Batcave.
Oh, without a doubt.
Yeah.
Like, Catwoman seemed like
an inconvenience at times, really.
Yeah, she was a bit.
She was a bit.
She's absolutely killing our vibe.
Absolutely.
And number one on the list of the top six ways to solve the butler shortage,
BYO butlers.
If you're rich enough for a holiday butler, you must have one at home.
And they want a holiday too, so it would be nice if you took them on holiday.
Well, you've got to shout them a flight.
Or they have to pay for their own flight.
No, they can drive down and meet you there.
No.
They can drive to Maserati.
But what if they're in Australia?
Then you'll get on the ferry.
Fly the private jet.
Yeah.
But sit where you can't be seen, like in the broom cupboard.
I'm assuming private jets have broom cupboards.
You've got to put your broom somewhere.
We're going to put your broom.
Everywhere you're going to be, if you're going to have a broom,
you've got to have a cupboard for it.
That is today's top six.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play
ZM. Wow.
We're prepping the garage
and the whole house basically for renovations
by getting rid of everything we don't need.
Okay. I'm talking side
tables that are too big for the space,
a couch that we
have only owned for a short amount of time and it doesn't fit
anywhere. A number of things
have gone up on Trade Me over the weekend.
And I don't know if you've used Trade Me on your phone to upload,
to list an item.
But when you list the item, you choose the photos first
and it just opens your camera roll and you just go tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
All the ones.
Easy.
Yeah, upload.
I've never done it.
I despise listing things.
Yeah, it's hard.
Is there a service that does it for you? And they are more than welcome to have like 50%. They've got things for sale. Yeah, it's hard. Is there a service that does it for you
and they are more than welcome to have like 50%?
They've got that for clothing.
Yeah, I guess, yeah.
There's clothing stores that do that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But there's going to be somebody sitting at home writing
and you take them the stuff and they sell it for you and then...
Maybe.
Okay.
Well...
It is such a pain in the...
And already, like, they've been up for about 24 hours and like,
can I have the measurement from armpit to armpit?
From nape to hem.
I'm like, get a grip.
What is a nape?
It's a size 12.
What is a nape?
What's the nape?
What is the nape?
Anyway, so this particular listing in question here that got me a little bit embarrassed
was vintage side tables forward slash bedside tables.
Wait, are you just trying to get an ad out there for free
on our very popular radio show?
Yeah, I don't have a story.
What I'm trying to do is head to my Trade Me listings.
Right.
You're circumventing the advertising process.
I am.
It's got to go.
Which would cost you money.
Everything's got to go.
Right, okay.
You can come over to my house, pick it up,
and have a little nosy.
Right, okay.
Anyway, so vintage side tables, they're very cute.
They're these little red and gold style vintage side tables,
but they don't fit anywhere.
So I listed those and then I went about my day
and then got a notification saying question on your listing.
Yeah.
And it was like, what's the interior measurement of the drawer
at the bottom because i've got a specially made case for all my fun time toys anyway so when it
but when i clicked on the listing the first photo on the listing like the the thumbnail that you'd
see when you're scrolling through vintage homewares
wasn't of the side tables.
It was of a berry smoothie.
Like sitting on the desk here at work, you can see the ZM logos in the background.
Yeah, you can.
So like every meal I eat at the moment,
I take a photo of it to talk to my nutritionist at the moment
because I'm dealing with my gut.
And I just take a photo like,
that's my smoothie. And it's a bad smoothie too.
It's all separated and clumpy and
gross and there's like a used mask
and yeah, the ZM
backdrop in the background.
And I accidentally, when I was uploading my
photos, uploaded this
photo of this honestly
awful looking smoothie
as the key photo.
What's in your gallery at the moment?
Out of everything in your gallery right now,
how bad could it have been?
So if I go close to the photos I took of the glutes,
yeah, a lot of food.
A lot of food, okay. A lot of food stuff A lot of food, okay.
A lot of food stuff.
So not too bad then.
There's a screenshot of Surge Tank in a System of a Down
announces live solo album.
I could have uploaded that and shared that with the word of trade me.
Cat pics, no, there's nothing dodgy in here yet.
Some, I wouldn't want that up.
Just having a scroll, I would just say I wouldn't want that up. Just having a scroll,
I would just say
I wouldn't want that up.
What's in your recents?
Fletch?
A lot of food.
A lot of screenshots.
Last night with the lads
we were discussing
our favourite dance
based movies
from the early
to mid 2000s.
Do you remember
when there was that
big craze of dance movies?
Yeah.
And I said my vote
had to be with Honey,
the Jessica Alba-led, purely for Jessica Alba alone.
Yes.
And so there was a lot of screenshots of dance movies.
Step up to the streets.
Vintage side tables.
The Honey poster.
Exactly.
Or one movie where she's spinning around and like,
water's coming up.
Yeah.
I'd be like, yeah, that could have been.
But it could have been so much worse. Honestly, it's a busy and like, water's coming up. Yeah. I'd be like, yeah, that could have been. But it could have been so
much worse. Honestly,
it's a busy phone, let's just say that.
There's a lot going on in there. So
I wanted to ask you,
listeners, when did you accidentally
upload something
that you weren't supposed to? Also, feel free
to dob in. Receiving.
The boomers in your life.
I'm reluctant to say boomers.
I know that raises their heckles.
But that, I would say, it's absolutely boomer territory.
A lot of community notices we get is where somebody will be alerting
the community to something or trying to sell something locally
and then they end up putting up a whole lot of photos of them
and their lovely wife in front of a waterfall.
But whether you accidentally
uploaded it in an email
or a text message.
Absolutely, or you were submitting
a CV for Ray.
There's something
in the news recently, isn't there, about a guy
who was trying to upload a CV
I think. Was it a CV?
And instead uploaded his
STD results
that's right
yeah his results
from the doctor
it's always
when a website
it's always like
attach your files here
and you're like
okay click
I know
and then it opens
and downloads
and they're all just like
code
like a bunch of
numbers and letters
and stuff
you're like
oh that's the most recent one
that's my CV
click
yeah
but it's not
no that's your
your herpes results
alright so 0800-DARZEN-M 9696 to text in recent one, that's my CV. Click, yeah. But it's not. No, that's your herpes results. Alright, so
0800-966
to text in. When did you accidentally
upload something? And what was the
aftermath? Alright, give us a call.
We're talking about when you uploaded
something you weren't supposed to
yesterday. Over the weekend
I was listing a few things on Trade Me
and the key thumbnail
I put for my vintage side tables
was a picture of my manky berry smoothie from Friday morning.
You've got to be careful when you're uploading from your phone.
You double check.
But you just go, you just like tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
And they all just go up.
It's easy, yeah, yeah.
You don't see them.
You only ever see the last one.
So we asked you, yeah,
when did you upload something you weren't supposed to?
Some messages in. We've got some some nudies definitely some nudies because it was that story we mentioned just before the guy in the uk accidentally was up attaching a file on his
computer uploaded his sti results yeah also one thing you've got to be careful of if you've got
the email all composed and then you nip out, screenshot something,
quickly go back into the email, click attachments,
and do the last screenshot.
It might not be the screenshot you just took
because that takes like five seconds to be like,
do you want to do anything with this one?
Are you going to edit this one?
On a Mac it does, yeah.
And then I'll put it on for a bit.
Yeah, so you could do totally the wrong screenshot.
A message on Instagram, I was talking SHIT about my employee
and accidentally attached it to an email to said employee.
Oh, that's a good payout if you're the employee.
Yeah.
I sent my new job contract to somebody I work with, not the new HR person.
They both start with K, so that was wrong.
Oh, like that applied for a new job.
Yeah. Anonymous joins us, that applied for a new job. Yeah.
Anonymous joins us, which normally indicates a good story.
Anonymous, good morning.
Good morning, Aidan.
Good, good.
So who accidentally uploaded?
It's actually a sick man story from my wife.
So on our first date, the first thing she ever told me about was
her boss accidentally uploaded a downstairs operation pic
on Valentine's Day to his Facebook story.
Oh!
Wow, okay.
And what mode was downstairs
during said photo shoot?
It wasn't flattering
by all accounts. I don't think
it was at its best
photo position.
Relaxed.
Relaxed. Re best photo position. Relaxed.
Relaxed. Yeah, relaxed.
Reclined.
Reclined position.
Who's taking a photo of a relaxed downstairs situation?
I believe he's a boomer,
so that could have had something to do with it.
Yeah, right.
And it was on Valentine's Day, so.
Oh, he's like,
he's like,
oh, I miss you, Sue.
I'm floppy without you.
And Sue's like, well, you nip home after work and I'll sort that out for you.
I'll sort out that for you.
Oh, my God.
Anonymous, thanks for your call.
Josh, did you accidentally upload something?
No, so it was my partner's dad and mum have recently broken up.
So we have a group chat and about three
times he's uploaded
a picture of his
willy I guess
to a family group chat
no dad
dad no
but he keeps forgetting and so
the most recent one was
he uploaded a pic of himself
and then the mum wrote back
this is why I left.
Oh mum.
How old a guy is this?
Yeah, no, he's decent.
Decent age. Okay.
Yeah, so he's
obviously trolling
the sites and then uploaded a picture
of himself but he's left a group chat now
so we don't know. Oh he has.
It's probably for the best to be honest. How embarrassing to upload a picture of himself, but he's left the group chat now, so we don't know. Oh, he has. Right. It's probably for the best, to be honest.
How embarrassing to upload a dick pic and then immediately leave the group.
He needs to use if this is in, like, WhatsApp.
He just needs to only have the one conversation in WhatsApp.
You know, like he needs to segment these things to different apps.
But yeah, it's a little funny.
Well, I'm so sorry you had to look that in the eye.
That's all right.
That is terrible.
Good God.
Thanks for your call.
Another message said,
I came across
a tradies promotional post
on social media,
which was highlighting
their recently completed jobs.
Included in the photos
was a screenshot
of someone demanding payment
and threatening debt collection
for their ongoing
financial situation. Okay, so that's not a good advertisement for the business. photos was a screenshot of someone demanding payment and threatening debt collection for their ongoing financial
situation. Okay, so that's not
a good advertisement for the business.
They might make a bloody
great awning.
Yeah. Or deck. Oh, they're known
for their awnings. Lovely awnings.
But the finances
need to be taken care of. Oh,
no. I did my GST
over the weekend. Did you do your GST?
I did do my GST over the weekend.
Some bizarre payments in there.
Yeah.
I like that about GST too.
I'm like, what was that?
You know when you can't find the receipt for something and then the bank statement sort of cuts off what it's from?
So I had one that was like, the location for NZ space U.
And I was like like what is this?
It's likely to be a bar.
But it was like
$480.
Oh wow, okay.
What was it?
It was the bar
when
we took a credit card
and paid the final bill
with it.
Ah, yeah, yeah.
That was right.
You remember you shouted
the whole bar?
Oh, that's right.
We had drinks. address.
Today's silly little poll. Do you share your food with your pet? I guess
that's anything from like
scraping off your scraps for your dog
to hone on.
A little bit chicken.
No, bad habit.
Bad habit. Feeding your dog from the dinner table.
Bad habit. Feeding it
human food so when it can smell it, it thinks
it's food it's had before, it'll have again.
It's a bad habit.
Yeah.
Also, we season, like, why season the meat too much?
And, like, we're going to get a cat.
Cats aren't supposed to have garlic and pepper and onions.
No.
They're not supposed to eat cooked.
Onions.
No.
No.
Well, this is very, very close.
One of the closest, in fact.
Yeah, 49%. Nah,
51%.
See, there's chucking a bit of
sausage to your dog off your plate,
but then there's letting a dog
lick your ice cream. Both bad.
Yuck, yuck, yuck.
Or like spoon feeding.
Get the dog its own ice cream.
Yeah, get a little doggy ice cream.
Cheapest ice, your little doggy ice cream.
Isn't dairy terrible for pets?
Yeah, it rips right through them.
Like cheese for cats and stuff.
Yeah, no, no, no.
Cheese is only because animals love it so much
you can hide pills in it.
Yes.
That's the only time an animal gets cheese at our place.
The only human food we'll share with Raleigh
every now and then
will be a little bit of shaved ham.
He loves ham.
A little bit of shaved ham. Yeah, he. He loves a little bit of shaved ham.
Yeah, he always comes in like, hey, I'm here about the ham.
Got some processed salty ham there.
He loves a bit of processed champagne.
He loves champagne.
Shaved ham.
He's a cat from the streets who has a fine taste for things.
Yeah.
Some messages in.
Not really,
but if I'm using cheese,
the dogs get a little
and they love the end
of the carrot.
The end of the carrot.
The hard bit of the carrot.
I'd give them that,
but I'd feed them in their bowl.
Don't chuck it to them.
See, this is why you can't do it.
Kieran message saying,
my dog has IBS.
Last time I gave her
some of my food,
she shat in her sleep
all over me,
my bed,
the wall, the carpet, even my face.
Never again.
Never again.
Oh, that is gross.
But also you've got a dog sleeping with a human there,
and I'm also against dogs on the bed.
My cat Bruno, says Rachel, has fish and chips with us.
Will choose his chippies from the floor and eat with us.
No, not off the paper. Total snob, though, and has'll choose his chippies from the floor and eat with us. No, not off the paper.
Total snob though and has to choose his own chips. Disproves if we choose his chips
for him. No, because then you've got a cat pawing amongst
all the chips. Yeah.
If you're eating fish and chips on the floor, which is a
sacred institution. Yeah.
Every animal has to
get out. Get out.
I think a lot of people that are messaging against the idea of sharing
your food with pets have been scorned before.
Katie messages not anymore because she got the shits from it
and cost us bloody $500 for a really bad case of gastro.
Yeah.
I want to know what the cat and or dog ate there that caused the gastro.
Oh, every time, Pauline, every time we open an ice cream,
the cat comes running and will sit and wait for a taste.
If we don't give her a taste, she swipes at us.
Put her on the nose. Spray her with a water
bottle. The cat doesn't run the household, Pauline.
I believe Rebecca will be a dog owner.
Honestly, sometimes I just can't be bothered getting the vacuum
cleaner out.
That's just a scoop onto the floor.
They just hoover it up.
Our cats are allowed to lick the plates after
we've eaten.
I know you're going to clean this. This is gross.
And if they're around while I'm cutting up meat,
they'll get little bits.
Oh, yeah.
Cassie messages saying,
my seriously fussy cat refuses to eat human food.
He eats one type and one type only of cat food
and it must be fresh.
Oh, really?
That's too good for your food.
Oh, yeah.
And then it'll lick its bum, won't it?
Yeah, well, lick its bum and then lick its paws and then...
And then turn down your delicious...
And then turn down your roast lamb.
Yeah.
Stupid cats.
Can't say.
Stupid animals.
Bless them.
Well, this comes out of the UK.
Of course, same as us.
Their cost of living is skyrocketing at the moment.
Food's expensive.
Gas is expensive.
Bills are expensive.
So some new research has revealed that almost a third, 31%, of single Brits want a partner just to help them save money.
Well, you think about it.
It makes everything like half price, right?
Like rent.
No.
No, that's not quite how it works.
It does.
It does.
It makes everything cheaper.
But they believe that couples pay less for housing and can budget better as a duo.
I mean, I think it does work out that way.
It's definitely not half.
No.
It's definitely not.
No, because if you're living in a small room, that's going to be two people in a room and then that's not going to be half. No. It's definitely not. No, because if you're living in a small room,
that's going to be two people in a room,
and then that's not going to be enjoyable.
No.
You're probably going to have to get a bigger place,
which is going to cost more.
Yeah, but if two people moved into a room,
and one person moved into a room,
and they were the same size room,
the couple would still pay more,
because they're still using the house.
Yes.
But when you split that in half, if you do 50-50,
it does work out cheaper.
So you're saying it's better
to be in a loveless relationship
just to have cheaper bills.
Well, this is the thing though.
So this is the perception
that singles have.
If I get a partner,
we'll split 50-50 on everything,
bills and everything included.
Yeah.
And it'll be cheaper.
However, the data shows
that that's actually not true.
Oh, because you've got to take them out for dinner and stuff, eh?
You actually end up spending.
Spending more.
They said there's a, they assessed the average spending habits of those who were single and
those who were together, cohabitating, they said.
And they found that couples spend 17% more per month
than those unattached once you split it.
Right.
Yeah, I know.
Well, is it because, is this just on utilities and bills
or is this like because they're together they have to go out and-
Weekly food shop.
You're probably also more likely to live by yourself if you're a couple
compared to if you're single you're more likely to live with people.
Live in a flat, that's right.
Yeah.
They spend 33% more each on bills compared to their single counterparts.
An extra 26% on their food shop.
I guess he's just always making more food.
Whereas I'm definitely like that.
Like when Aaron's away or when I was living on my own,
I would just buy what I needed to eat whereas if Aaron
I'm constantly like
oh my god
I've got to buy
all this food
yeah right
especially feeding
a big man like I am
where's the big man
he eats
he eats a lot
you've got to feel
the fire
yeah
in fact the only area
where singles are
actually spending
more money
is on clothing
and beauty
oh right
because you just
let yourself go
when you've got a partner
don't you
you just put on
trackies
all the time
and you let your monobrow grow out
Right, but overall
it's the couple spending more
Overall, couples are spending more
I wouldn't have thought that would have been the case
It's crazy
You can't argue with stats
So don't get with someone you're not that keen on just to save money
because it sounds like you're not going to save much money
Not going to save that much money at all
Be single.
Be single.
Be ready to mingle.
Yeah.
But the cost of living
and see lots of people.
It's expensive anywhere.
Yeah.
It's expensive
whether you're single or together.
They're going to cost you money.
You might as well enjoy
seeing them naked, you know?
Good point.
Yeah, actually free nudity
at the drop of a hat.
For a year,
you can't put a price on that, can you?
At any given moment,
you could be like,
give us a look at your jennies.
Yeah.
That's free.
Pop your trowel down.
Yeah, right.
I like that.
I like that.
I like having that around.

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Border Break is a competition we have been running
because the borders have reopened again.
Yes.
Where can you travel?
Vaccinated and you get your little snooze test before you come back to New Zealand
and it's much easier to come.
No MIQ.
Oh, yeah.
For the majority of people.
It's certainly easier to travel again.
Looking forward to welcoming tourists and looking forward to welcoming people home.
So we took some nominations.
I want to say thousands.
Thousands of entries.
It was nearly a thousand.
So you could say thousands.
A thousand. We received thousands of entries. Tens of entries. It was nearly a thousand. So you could say thousands. A thousand.
We received thousands of entries.
Tens of hundreds.
Tens of hundreds.
No, tens of tens.
No, tens of hundreds is a thousand.
No, it was nearly a thousand entries.
Yeah, of people that thought they wanted to come at war.
We've selected somebody.
Yeah.
Now, I've got the voice disguiser.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
60 Minutes anonymous face.
Yeah.
Hello, good morning.
Hello. Hello.
Can you hear me? I can hear you.
Can you hear us?
I can hear you.
You're a finalist in our
Border Break competition.
You've been away for three
years. Yes.
And we hear that you're really missing your family.
Yeah, I'm missing, especially my mum, I think.
A lot of mum and dad, but my mum, yeah.
I miss my mum.
As a dad, as a dad, can I just say that that hurts on behalf of all dads.
We know a lot of the time we're not the favourite.
Like when you're sick, you run to mum.
No, it's not a favourite thing, is it?
But there's something in you as a woman, I feel it too,
where you're just like, I need my mum.
Do you get that?
Yeah, no, definitely.
I'm actually born on my mum's birthday and we just have this connection.
Oh, my God.
Soul sisters.
That's so special.
Tell us, what would it mean to you if we were able to bring you home
to see your family and particularly your mum?
It would mean the world.
Even just thinking about it, I'm like, well, generally,
I think I would probably, a lot of ugly crying, I think.
Right.
She's one of those people, she would do anything to have me home.
So I think she would just be like overwhelmed with emotion as well.
Well, here's the good news.
She doesn't need to do anything more because you are the winner
of our ZM Border Break and we're bringing you home
to be reunited with your family.
Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me?
It's you.
We're just going to see
when the cheapest flights are.
I'm not going to lie to you.
We're not paying...
We're not paying premium prices.
We're looking for the specials.
We're out there hunting.
But we are going to be bringing you home
and kind of following you as you see your parents and stuff for the first time.
Oh, my gosh.
That means that I can't even.
Oh, my God.
That means the world, honestly.
Is there anybody else that we should trick into being there at the time?
Siblings?
So I think I'll probably try and get my sister in on it to help out with the logistics.
Oh, we're bringing sister in?
We're bringing sister in.
Yeah, into the spirit.
Can she be trusted?
Oh, I think so.
Oh, we're so excited to bring you home to see your family.
I actually don't even know what to say.
I'm so lost for words.
I'm trying not to cry now.
Just checking.
We're all fully vaccinated with no criminal records and no outstanding student loans. They're going to get you arrested at the airport? No, I'm fully not to cry now. Just checking. We're all fully vaccinated with no criminal records
and no outstanding student loans.
They're going to get you arrested at the airport?
No, I'm fully vaxxed.
I even got the first night, everything.
Good to go.
Nice, nice, nice.
I'm just, imagine,
it would actually be a pretty good video
that we fly you all the way home
and then Inland Revenue's waiting for you at the airport
to arrest you for skipping out on student loans.
We're actually working for Jacinda in the government.
We're trying to bring people who have student loans home.
We're going to catch them.
Because as much as it costs us to fly you home,
we'll get more out of you because you have been skipping student loans.
All right, well, we're going to have to do some secret squirrelling.
We'll be planning with you the big arrival.
And then we're going to reunite you with your family.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my gosh.
I can't believe this.
Oh, I'm overwhelmed right now my gosh. I can't believe this. Oh, I'm just overwhelmed right now.
Thank you guys so much.

Well, nearly two decades, 19 years since.
Has it been that long?
Yeah, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez broke up.
September 2003, they called off their engagement.
Because they met doing Geely, right?
Yes, Geely, that's right.
Currently at a 6% Rotten Tomato review
and a 2.6 out of 10 on IMDb.
Nothing brings you closer together than shared trauma.
Yeah, that's true.
And maybe that's what doing that film was.
Yeah, well, so 2003, the wedding was planned.
They called it off due to excessive media attention on their relationship.
And then four months later, they officially broke up.
Well, we all know that they got back together.
And everyone's very happy about it.
And, of course, over the weekend, Ben proposed.
Two decades later.
Because I think everybody's noticed how, like, you know how he was in all those really sad memes?
Yes.
And it'd always be outside with a ciggy looking all like this.
And now he just looks so happy.
And I think the world can just see how happy he is.
He is so happy.
Shay is so happy.
And I would be too with a 8.5 carat natural green diamond.
Have you seen this thing?
It is like.
Oh, wow.
It's like the size of a 10 cent coin.
I mean, I'm shaking my head i
don't know why did you say you'd be happy with it and then when i you showed me yeah can you also
like we're like yeah because it's worth like millions it would be like um winning the lotto
yeah i'd sell it and then get what i actually wanted yeah of equity value uh but it's absolutely
like everyone's loving this story because they've just come around full circle.
Yeah.
They went out with other people, Ana de Armas,
and she was engaged to that dude, that business dude.
And the, was it Rod Reyes was a baseball player?
Yeah, A-Rod.
A-Rod.
That too.
A-Rod.
A-Rod.
They were together for ages and they were super serious.
And that she's just like, she's peaking at the moment.
Yeah.
And now they're back.
They gave it another go.
The second time round, I reckon this is going to stick.
After a big gap.
Massive break.
Do you think they kept in touch in those 20 years between?
I don't know.
If you were Jennifer Garner, would you want your husband Ben Affleck still being in regular contact with Jennifer Lopez?
No.
A Jennifer of equal or higher standing?
No.
My rule is you can only contact people who are called Jennifer
that are not as good looking.
Okay, right, yeah.
Also, it sucks for Jennifer Garner because, you know, there's J-Lo,
and that's very cool, but she can't be like J-Gar.
No.
That's not as cool.
J-Gar. It sounds like one not as cool. J-Gar.
It sounds like one of those little plates
that you rub the bacteria in at school
and then put them in the incubator to see what grew.
Yeah.
Petri dish with that.
Like an A-Gar.
With the J-Gar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The J-Gar jelly.
Look, it's a beautiful love story
and we want to hear some more.
So when did it work out for you the second time round?
So you want to hear from people that you saw someone,
you started a relationship or maybe you had a fling
and then you were like,
this can't happen. No, and you went away
for some time and then you came
back together and it was the real deal.
How much of a gap are we looking for?
Not as big as obviously 18 years.
I mean, yeah, 20 years odd
would be a miracle to find.
Are you going to put a minimum time of at least six months or a year?
At least a year.
At least a year.
We can't have this like, we broke up and then like the week after,
I was like, he's the one.
Yeah, we broke up at the weekend and then Monday,
I was like, I've made a mistake.
I miss him so much.
What have I done?
What have I done?
You guys are annoying.
The people that do that, I'll just let you know,
everybody, including some of your best friends,
think you're so annoying. Yeah.
I want to hear from like, you went out and you
lived your own life again.
Maybe you got into another relationship.
Yeah, you just like, you change.
Because that's what they've both done, is they've gone and worked
on themselves. Maybe you married someone else.
And you were like, I'm married to this thing.
Three kids in the mix. Yeah.
And then you went back to your high school boyfriend.
Alright, so 0800DARLS.
We want to hear your stories this morning.
You can text as well, 9696.
Tell us, when did it work out the second time around?
Well, the world's a better place, isn't it, after the weekend?
Because J-Lo and Ben Affleck got engaged after they got back together
after 19 years separated since they cancelled their first engagement.
So we want to know, when is it worth the second time?
Are you all right?
I was just having a yawn.
He's upset because J-Lo's gone.
Off the market.
She a bit of you?
What do you think?
Who is it?
I mean, run through the Vaughn Smith criteria.
What do you think?
Run through the Vaughn Smith criteria and you would, you know,
you'd get a J-Lo.
Oh, absolutely.
She's 52 years old.
Like, wow.
I mean, her face isn't.
No.
I think she said worse.
Oh, my God.
Absolutely.
Her forehead doesn't move.
Doesn't it?
No.
I mean, you know, she's got her own skin care and all of that,
but Jennifer Lopez has definitely had work.
Are you just Googling now to back up your claims?
Jennifer Lopez, work done.
How many people do you reckon are Google celebrities?
Work done.
She has always claimed, this is as of last year as well,
she said, for the 500 millionth time,
I have never had Botox or injectables or surgery.
Yeah, she might just be one of those people.
She's saying get you some J-Lo beauty
and feel beautiful in your own skin. She's
promoting her beauty brand. She's not going to admit
that she gets a little bit of... She's done well.
Yeah. A little full, a little right.
Let's just say I've never seen a 52-year-old face
that looks like that. But she looks incredible.
Regardless. 52-year-olds
used to look like old as.
Oh, like back in the... But is that just because I'm closer to 52 now than when I was like 12 and I whipped up. 52-year-olds used to look like old ass, eh? Oh, like back in the day.
Are you just saying that because...
But is that just because I'm closer to 52 now than when I was like 12
and I'd see a 52-year-old and to me that was an old person?
No, but people do look, used to look older than they do now.
Is it sunscreen?
Yeah, sunscreen, beauty products.
We actually don't put things on our skin.
Yeah.
Anyway, we wanted to...
I'm not having a dig.
Her shirt looks incredible.
We want to know when you've made it work a second time around,
when that love was lost and then found.
Yeah, some messages.
And my mother was married in her early 20s,
not for very long, and they broke up.
20 years later, she remarried the same man.
And they've been together for 17 years now.
Oh, my God.
Now, she refers to this guy as the same man,
so this obviously isn't her dad.
Yeah. Her dad must have been in the middle.
My husband and I were together at
high school. We went our own ways at 17,
18. He had another relationship and a child.
Then we got back together at about 24,
25. Okay.
Been together since. Made it work a second time.
Annabelle, when did you make it work a second
time? So this is
my mum and so in 2003 she met my stepdad on a course for three days
and then she ran away from him.
Ran for the hills.
She's like, no, get out of here.
So then my dad came back home and they got married in 2008.
And then they divorced in 2013
and she got back together with my stepfather in 2014
and now they've just recently married.
Oh, she didn't run away.
She didn't run away the second time.
No, she didn't run away the second time.
Maybe it's too early to tell still.
You never know.
Annabelle, thanks for your call.
Stacey, when did you make it work
a second time?
It was my mother and father-in-law.
So my father-in-law was 18
and my mother-in-law got pregnant
with my husband and I don't know
what happened. They split up and we never saw it.
He never saw him. And when we were
21, I was going to my husband, you could have
walked past your dad and not known him. Let me find him.
So I found him. They'd subsequently had their own families and they left each other and got back going to my husband you could have walked past your dad and not known him let me find him so i found him they'd subsequently had their own families and they left each other and
got back together and my husband was 22 so yeah they were together for well they've been together
ever since but she sadly passed away but she was the love of his life he hid a vinyl record
yeah he hid in his in his bathroom his new house with his new family, which is a bit... But he had a Bob Marley record that he'd bought her
and he had it framed behind a picture hidden
with the date he gave it to her and everything
and he'd kept it all those years.
Oh.
Oh, wow.
Love is alive.
Love is alive.
It is.
Stacey, thanks for your call.
Georgia, when did you make it work a second time?
Morning.
I met this guy in primary school in Australia in 2007
and then high school.
We were like, nah.
And then both moved back to New Zealand in 2015
and we've been together ever since.
Oh, a primary school love.
Yeah, so it's like a little childhood sweetheart story.
A little sweetheart.
Wow.
Yeah.
What was it that drew you back to the flame?
Well, I was just like, because we were still like kept in contact.
Our family were still really good friends.
Oh, yeah.
And I was actually going to move back to Australia because I was down south.
And so I came and visited him before I left.
And I just haven't left yet.
Oh, that's beautiful.
That is.
Georgia, amazing.
Thanks, you call.
Some more messages in.
A friend of mine left his first wife in the 1970s,
married and divorced four more times
and then remarried number one in the 2000s.
Could have saved so much money and time.
Yeah, do you use the same ring when you get back together?
Oh, you've already got it.
Yeah.
I could already buy you this.
My grand date of the guy in her teenage years,
50 years later, they met up again and got married.
They were together 20 years before he passed away
at the ripe old age of 93 last year.
Oh, my God.
50 years apart.
Yeah.
Souls.
It's souls connecting.
Yeah, intertwined souls.
Lots of these, lots of these. I met my now wife 15 years apart. Yeah. Souls. Yeah. It's souls connecting. Intertwined souls. Lots of these.
Lots of these.
I met my now wife 15 years ago.
We were together 18 months, then split, got back together,
and have been married for over 10 years now.
Oh, beautiful.
Currently dating my very first boyfriend eight years later.
We went out for two weeks in year 10.
Oh, God.
What a disaster.
That's a long time for year 10.
Oh, my gosh.
So many lunch times. Then matched again on Tinder after eight years. Oh God, what a disaster. That's a long time for year 10. So many lunch times.
Then matched again on Tinder
after eight years. Oh wow.
Can you imagine, I'm thinking about the
boy that I sort of dated
On a lunch break? No,
in year 10. Imagine if I
got married to him now, I'm just thinking about
Have you looked him up?
Have you had a stalk? Is he hot?
Hang on.
I don't want to.
Because he'll be listening.
What if I say no?
No, I remember he's married.
We are still friends on Facebook.
Oh, okay.
Right, okay.
I'm happy for him.
What are you trying to break up this guy's marriage for?
I don't know.
I don't want to see because she's no me, is she?
She never will be.
He had it all when I was 14.
Did he?
Is he the one that broke up?
Yeah, rightfully so.
I was such an arsehole.
His new partner would never do that.
Yeah, no.
I'm back with my high school sweetheart.
We broke up in her early 20s.
Both moved on with our lives.
He, a new partner and kids.
Myself, new relationships and travel.
Reconnected eight years later when we were both single.
Two and a half years later, we're still together,
building a new home and wanting to have our own baby.
Aww.
That's nice.
Are they facing building shortages?
Yeah, they're facing a big wait on jib.
That's going to really put a test on this relationship.
Do they have it in on a jib?
On a jib supply?
Do they have it in on a jib?
Hayley's desperately.
Massive wait on jib.
Massive wait on roof trusses.
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
I don't know when they're going to be able
to bloody get this.
Can't even get railing
Can't even get posts to make a bloody fence these days
Oh
Don't talk to me about shortages
That'll tear apart a relationship

Pig?
No, pigs always an even number of teats.
No, they got eight.
Oh, right.
Pigs are eight?
Six.
How do you know?
Do different pigs have different amounts?
Because they always have a big litter of piggies.
I'm a nipple fanatic.
How many teats does a pig have?
Because you always see them lying down in this mess of a...
Pigs, on average, have 12 to 14, so it can vary.
I would like an apology.
I beg your pardon.
And I do apologise sincerely from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you.
12 to 14.
14 is a breed standard.
You want a pig with 14?
Well, there could be a pig with 13.
You don't know.
No, no, no.
They're always in evens.
Always evens. 12 or 14. I'm not saying 12 to 13. How many nips on a pig with 14. Well, there could be a pig with 13. You don't know. No, no, no. They're always in evens. Oh, always evens.
12 or 14.
I'm not saying 12 to 13.
How many nips on a quali?
That's a good question.
Two?
They're my favourite animal.
I'd say two.
I think they're two
just on the chesticles.
This would be a fun game show.
How many teats?
Well, you should do it
on your,
have you been paying attention?
How many nipples?
Nipples in the news.
Oh my God, nipples.
We could do nipples in the news.

does this animal have? Yeah, because this animal's
been in the news. Yeah.
Nipples of the news. Yeah.
This is great.
Producers, if you're listening,
Maude and I have an idea.
Female koala has two teats.
Okay, yeah. I'm just looking
at some mammals to make sure I don't get them confused.
Alice the camel had three nips.
No, that was humps.
Okay.
Two on a camel.
That would be my guess.
Fox.
Oh, I don't know how many a fox.
Okay, what's a fox?
How many teats does a fox have?
Is it, okay, just to narrow it down.
Four pairs of teats.
I guess they're a dog, right?
So they would have like dogs have teats.
Give us a clue.
Is it land or sea?
It's land.
Land mammal.
And it's a marsupial.
Otter.
It's not a marsupial.
Isn't it?
What's that?
It's just a mammal.
Yeah.
And you picked an aquatic mammal.
An otter came into my head and they're real cute.
They are pretty cute.
Hedgehog.
Hedgehog.
I don't know how many teats a hedgehog has.
How many teats does an otter have?
An otter has four nipples on the lower abdomen.
What did you just say?
A hedgehog.
No, they're not going to have lots of nips.
I reckon a hedgehog's got two.
That's my guess.
A wombat.
Kangaroo.
A hedgehog has five sets of nipples.
So ten nipples all up on a hedgehog. But that's an even number. That's a huge sets of nipples, so ten nipples all up on a hedgehog.
What?
But that's an even number.
That's a huge amount of nipples.
Where does it pack all the nipples?
Between the...
They'd have to be on the soft underbelly.
You can't put a nip between some prickly bristles.
You can't, and there's not nips on backs.
The mole?
No, it's not the mole.
Okay, just tell us.
Oh, and I just texted Chase.
It's the opossum.
Oh, my God.
Not our possums.
The opossum.
The American opossum.
Another interesting fact about it, it has 50 teeth.
That's the highest number of teeth on any land mammal.
Yeah, they're super violent, eh?
Yeah.
The white ones.
America's got the white ones.
Oh, no, I'm thinking of the honey badger.
Honey badger.
Honey badger.
Honey badger.
Honey badger.
How many teeth does a honey badger have?
But honey badgers are very violent animals.
Because honey badgers don't give a damn.
Honey badgers do what they want.
They don't even care.
They're one of my favorite animals because they just trot around all day eating snakes
and attacking things.
They're awful.
They're fantastic.
So, yeah, 50 teeth.
They usually give birth to 18 to 25 babies.
And with the time of birth, smaller than a bee.
Smaller than a honeybee.
And they latch onto the nipples, although the mother only has 13,
so you've got to be quick.
It's survival of the fittest in the pouch.
And the other ones, because you pick a nipple
and you stay on that nipple for your whole life.
Right.
Oh, so it's allocated nipple.
Allocated nipples.
Yeah, like when you go to the movies
and you've got to sit in the seat they give you.
Yeah, you're like, damn it, we're too close to the centre.
But you do get to pick the nipple, but then you stay in the nipple.
So I guess it is like picking your own seat at the movies.
Okay, but you do that online before you're born.
Yeah, you want to get an online booking form nice and early because of the shortages,
because of the nipple shortages.
Okay, right.
First in, first served.
So then, yeah, obviously if they don't get a nipple, they don't make it.
Yeah.
I hope I'm not really close to the screen up the front with the front nipple.
Yeah, but you don't want to be too close to the back either. Because then you're right down the middle of the pouch. You're right by the toilets. Yeah. I hope I'm not really close to the screen up the front with the front nipple. Yeah, but you don't want to be too close to the back either.
Because then you're right down the middle of the pouch.
You're right by the toilets.
Yeah.
It gets stinky.
It gets stinky.
So today's fact of the day is the opossum of North America has 13 nipples.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Play.
Sid Ames, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Tried a new restaurant the other night, Saturday night.
Very brave of you.
Sort of an adventurer of sorts.
You are.
My wife found it
She read rave reviews
And I can tell you the food was delicious
Okay
It's not about Willis restaurant
What kind of food was it?
Chinese food
Yeah
But like Chinese street food
Oh okay
Yeah like quick stuff
Not like a sit down
Yeah but we sat down to eat it.
It's not like Chinese fine dining.
No, no, no.
It was like street food, like fried chicken wings.
Yum.
Dumps?
Yeah, there was dumplings.
There was like steamed pork buns.
There was like skewers, like all the different sorts of skewers.
And it was, yeah, it was real good.
It was real good.
And I tell you what, they were not afraid to go heavy handed with the MSG.
Yum.
I love MSG.
MSG equals flavour
and yum.
I know.
And there was this
big anti-MSG campaign
for a while
and it's not, is it?
It's the type of salt.
Yeah.
It comes in tomatoes.
But it's so much
that it was real thirsty
so I had to pound
like six beers.
I just had to. I was a thirsty, I was a thirsty, so I had to pound like six beers. I just had to.
I was a thirsty, thirsty boy.
Anyway, we were ordering, as we always do,
and when you go somewhere new,
I like to try a bit of everything.
Yeah.
And if there's anything left over,
I'm going to ask for a doggie bag,
take her home for later.
But I want to try...
I don't know what I'm getting back there.
Variation.
Yeah, I want to try a bit of everything.
Okay.
So I'm ordering. I. Variation. Yeah, I want to try a bit of everything. Okay. So I'm ordering.
I'm rattling off our order.
And the waitress is like looking around,
running it all down.
And then she's like,
I get to the point where I'm thinking
about the next thing I want to add to the list.
Yeah.
And she's like,
more people joining you?
I was like,
no, no, it is myself, my wife,
my two children and my father-in-law.
Yeah.
Now those two look like they can't eat.
Yeah.
But they can eat.
They can eat.
I look like I can eat.
Yeah.
And my daughter, Andy, our oldest daughter,
she's getting to the point where she can eat.
Yeah, good.
Good girl.
So, you know, we're eating.
We're eaters and we're eating.
And she said, anybody else joining in?
And I said, no.
And she said, this is probably looking like quite a bit.
I was like, you shut your mouth and take my order.
I want three more of these. So we're then, whenever that she said, this is probably looking like quite a bit. I was like, you shut your mouth and don't order. I want three more of these.
So we're then, whenever that gets said,
a certain challenge has been issued and we've got to order some more stuff.
Anyway, when it all started arriving, we thought, uh-oh,
maybe we have pushed the boat out.
But I've also thought, uh-oh, maybe we've pushed the boat out before.
I've been out with you and we've ordered too much.
And we ate it all.
You're going to eat it all.
And then we were full
and she was like,
how was everything?
I was like,
delicious now about those desserts.
And she laughed.
She thought I was kidding around.
I was like,
we ain't kidding around.
I'm not kidding.
There was mango pudding.
Yeah.
And what was the other,
the other thing was so good.
Why am I having a memory failure
to what it was?
And did you eat it all?
You ate a few of those as well.
Did you take anything away
in a doggy bag?
No, sir. There was nothing left. And it's something at all? We had a few of those as well. Did you take anything away in a doggy bag? No, sir.
There was nothing left.
It is something to witness.
I've been at a Smith dinner where we did this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We eat.
As I said, I don't know when we're getting back there again.
There's other new restaurants.
Yeah, you've got to order lots, right?
You've got to order heaps.
And I'm the same.
I want like some of everything.
Yeah.
So if something looks good on the menu, I'm ordering.
And so if something looks really good and we're with a group of four,
we always get like two of that.
Right.
If there's like a beef rendang, we're like, we're going to need two of those.
You're going to need two of them because I've got a feeling I'm going to hit that
and I'm going to love it.
Yeah.
I'm going to have one for myself.
You guys want one?
You can order it.
So a lot of meat then at the weekend.
Oh, there's a fair bit of meat, mate.
Don't you worry about it.
I'm just trying.
I'm looking up the menu because I want to tell you what the desserts were.
I don't think we can,
it doesn't matter.
No, it doesn't.
It really doesn't complete the story.
I think it does
because you'd be imagining
like I'm there,
I'm really, really full
and you're thinking...
Like what could Vaughan
possibly squeeze in?
What would have made him be like,
yeah, I'm going to
absolutely push that in.
I don't know,
website loading.
I don't know, really, It's not going to matter.
The story's kind of
done its course now, hasn't it?
Yeah, I think we've sort of cut to a break.
No, no, no, no, no. People will be
dying. They'll be sitting
in their cars outside their workplaces.
We are going to cut to a break
now. Wait a minute.
I don't think we should.
No, that's not the menu. Maybe we can come out
of the break with it. No, I don't think this warrants a a decline. I don't think we should. Hot on here. No, that's not the menu. Maybe we can come out of the break with it.
No, I don't think this warrants a second break.
I don't think people care.
They know about this menu.
The point of the story was you ate a lot of food.
I ate a lot.
I ate a ton.
Say, for me, we're done now.
Yeah, we're done.
Right.
See, I would have thought people just would have wanted to know.
No, I reckon cue to a break.
Three, two, one.
Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. No, I reckon cue to a break. Three, two, one.
Chinese fried buns with sweetened condensed milk.
Like you have the condensed milk.
Like Chinese donuts.
It's effectively like a Chinese churro.
Okay.
Yeah, and you dip it in the sweetened condensed milk.
I don't think it added to the story before.
I think it did now because people are imagining me tearing them in half,
these piping hot, steaming, soft on the inside because it's the same sort of bun as you get a barbecue pork bun.
So on the outside it's crispy and fried and sweet,
and on the inside it's soft and steamy and succulent.
And then you tear them in half with a little bit of the steam out,
dip it in the sweetened condensed milk. Straight in the mouth.
How much food did you eat?
A lot of food.
And then because of this chicken wing dish that I've got,
it came with so many peppers and MSG, it wasn't even funny.
Yesterday, I pooped three times.
Oh, my God.
Congrats.
It went in and it came out.
Andrew, shut up.
We did not need to know that.
I'm so proud of you.
Now, I was terrified because I had beetroot for lunch the time before,
and I thought I was dying yesterday.
But alas, I'm alive and well.
Bluff or stuff?
Snow lying.
Snow lying around here.
Oh, absolutely.
Actually, there's a lot of lying, actually.
Well, two people are going to be lying.
Two of us are lying.
One of us right now is holding a big pair of snow boots,
snowboarding boots.
Burden,
I can see them right here
because I'm holding them.
They're white
and they've got Burton on them.
What else have they got on them?
Laces.
They are lace boots.
See, what happened just then
is that I'm actually holding them.
Sade joins us.
Good morning, Sade.
Good morning, guys.
How are you?
Sweetheart, you're not allowed to win.
No, this isn't your wife.
We're already going to Queen's Seven.
Huh?
This is not your wife.
It's a different Sade.
What?
Now, Sade, up for grabs right now is a multi-day pass for Kadrona and Tribble Cone.
Okay.
All right.
So, right now, actually, Kadrona and Tribble Cone's early bird multi right. So right now, actually,
Kadrona and Tribble Cone's early bird multi-day sale is on now.
They got a dusting the other day.
I got very excited when I saw their socials. They're getting a dusting.
I just checked on the webcam.
The dusting's dusted away, though,
but the dusting will be back.
There'll be more dusting.
You can scan Snowbird from $75 a day,
and it's just a short hop over the Crown Range
to get to Cardi's from Queenstown Airport.
Absolutely.
Easy.
So, Sade, we're each going to describe these boots
and then you've got to pick who's actually holding them.
Okay.
I'm going to start because, let's just cut to the chase,
I'm actually holding them and I'll do you one step better.
They're leather.
They've got sort of guitars on them, which is sort of weird.
And here's the sound of them on the desk.
Oh, don't lie,
Hayley. Here's the sound of them on the desk.
Sorry, your coffee
just spilled on your mug when you jammed that on
the table there. It's gone on the keyboard.
I've got it on my foot.
Now I'm stomping on the ground.
Because I've got one on my feet. Sure you
are. I've got them
shut out. I've actually got the boots.
They're my boots.
They're Sean White boots from about 2008
when I was allowed to spend money on snowboarding stuff.
I'm not allowed anymore.
I'm not allowed anymore because I've got a mortgage now.
I have to say because I am holding them and wearing one of them,
I'm surprised they fit me.
They're quite a good fit.
They're a little bit bigger. I'm holding them. I look inside. I'll. They're quite a good fit. They're a little bit bigger.
I'm holding them.
I look inside.
I'll tell you they're a 29 and a half centimetre long boot.
I'm a size 10, but I'm just feeling them on my foot.
I've got a little wiggle room around the toe.
I'd go a size down.
Well, with a big thick winter sock.
Thick sock.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thick sock on there.
Bit of sand.
I'm just knocking the sole.
Bit of sand coming off.
What's that from?
Well, I can tell you that's not sand.
I can tell you that's grit that they spread on the car
park. Oh, yes. Of actually
the last time that those were worn, apart from now
where I'm wearing one and holding
the other, was at Cardrona.
Sorry, I just dropped it, Sade.
Sade, who's
not lying?
This is so hard.
I haven't heard much from you, Fletch.
Well, no, I banged them on.
Did you want to hear me bang them on the desk again?
Yeah.
These, Sade, they are mugs.
Those are boots.
Those are boots.
This is boots, listen.
That's cups.
That's boots.
That's me whacking my foot.
That's a jandle.
He's got a jandle on his hand.
That's not a jandle, you liar.
Who wears jandles to work?
That's not very professional.
I'm a professional man.
Sade, you've got to take a guess.
A stab in the dark.
Is it Hayley?
Let's hurry up as well because they're getting hot on my feet.
Is it Vaughn or is it me?
Okay, I'm just going to go Vaughn.
You're right.
No, Sade.
No.
Sorry, Sade.
Holly.
My other Sade would tell you never back Vaughan.
Never back Vaughan.
You never back Vaughan.
Holly, who's holding the snowboarding boots?
Look, this is my fingernails, Holly.
Going a little.
I'm going to go Hayley.
And you're going skiing.
Yes, you are.
You are.
Congratulations. We've got
Fiona Saru-Bashade now.
We really put her through the ringer and Holly just swooped
in there. Holly, you have swooped
in and you have picked up a multi-day pass for
Gajrona and Triple Cone. Congratulations.
Holly?
Awesome. Thank you so, so much.
She's crying. She's beside herself.
I thought we'd lost you for a second there.
Another chance tomorrow and one every day this week
with our game Bluff or Stuff.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
ZM's $100,000 secret sound.
Soundkeeper Owls is in,
refreshed after a weekend of no secret sounding.
Although there was a lot of chat about it, which is fun.
It haunts you.
It does.
Well, you know what?
It's $100,000 now, the jackpot, and people are like that.
They want to know.
They're like a dog with a bone.
Yep, they do.
So it was a good weekend, though.
Yeah.
They're like a dog without a bone, and they want the bone.
Yeah.
They're going crazy until they get the bone.
Wait, is the bone the sound or the $100,000?
The money.
The money, yeah.
And the sound?
I'm not sure.
We can figure that out.
It's all in one.
Okay, well, Danielle joins us.
Good morning, Danielle.
Oh, my God.
Hello.
Oh, my God, Danielle.
You made it through.
Hello.
Now, Danielle, no pressure, but we're going to give you $100,000
if you can tell us what this sound is.
What do you think it is?
I think it's a pair of high heels walking on, like, a hard surface.
What?
Get those high heels out of my house.
Are they ruining the hardwood floors?
I don't
know. It's hard to tell what kind of heels they are.
You're denting my floors.
Are you a long
time player, Danielle?
I've kind of played
like all this season and
some of last season.
So you know how this goes. You've looked at the clues
then on the Instagram?
Yeah, yeah.
And I've got a bit of like an explanation for all of them,
but they might not make sense to everyone.
Fletch just mouthed, why not the seasons before that?
Where were you the other seasons?
Why have you been playing all the seasons? Oh, who told me?
I feel like I missed out.
Okay.
Well, it's like we've got an indoor netball team
and you've just kind of like been playing for a couple of seasons.
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, yeah.
She's here now. Sometimes she doesn't come to practice. playing for a couple of seasons. Yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah. She's here now.
Sometimes she doesn't come to practice.
Yeah, that's me.
No practice, no play.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
Okay.
It's a good guess.
It is a good guess.
Danielle?
Yeah.
That is not the secret sound, Danielle.
Danielle knew.
She's like, yeah, I know, I know.
Yeah.
Oh, it's so annoying.
All right.
You didn't ask me any more questions.
I was like, crap.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But then sometimes she does ask questions and teases them.
That's really mean.
Danielle, thank you for playing.

Loretta, good morning, Loretta.
Hi there.
How's it going?
Good, good.
Well, you've got through the first hard bit. The first hard bit.
The next hard bit is telling us what this sound is.
For $100,000, Loretta, what is it?
I think it's adjusting the dial on a thermostat,
like a heat thermostat.
Adjusting the dial on a thermostat. Like, heat thermostat, adjusting the dial on a thermostat.
Like, is it a clicky dial?
Yeah, the clicky dial like on a wall thermostat.
Like, yeah, that's adjusting the dial.
Like, anyone can go and adjust the dial on a thermostat.
Click.
Okay, yeah, right.
Yeah.
Actually, can I just throw this in there?
Yeah.
I have done my research.
Okay.
Cool.
And in season two in the
office, episode
17
where they keep adjusting
a thermostat
Yes, I remember this episode

Oh, your phone's cutting out, Loretta. Hold on.
Loretta, are you there? Yes, I'm here.
Oh, good.
You don't want to get
through and drop off. Well, let's get
to it while you've got
phone reception.
Thermostat adjusting. Loretta?
Yeah.
That is not the secret sound.
All right, well, back to the drawing board,
