The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Grab any size McCafe coffee for only $4. Conditions apply. Now, producer Jared, I've never seen... Have you seen him this angry?

He's irate. He's irate. He's got a stolen bin. Yep. Now, this is your bin at your flat. Yeah. The council bin. This is actually the second time it's been stolen. The last time it was returned after a couple days.

This time I'm not going to be waiting the requisite couple days. I'm going on a hunt today. Do you think you're being targeted? It's possible. Entirely possible. Do you think it's a hate crime because you're South African? It's possible. Entirely possible. Do you think it's a hate crime because you're South African? Yeah, they're targeting immigrants. Yep, that's what it sounds like.

Have you marked your bin so you know which one is yours? Yeah, we've got we've vivided our number on the top and it's got like a council sticker that has our street number on it as well. And a little code on them as well. Oh, okay. A little code on them that if can if they find

it they can scan it and see where it belongs so how do you think stolen this um oh here we go like what see some theories why would someone do this they've got their own vineyard to show them yeah i think they might be jealous of our two bins because we've got two blue and yellow bins which is the rubbish bin why do you have two i do you have two? I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell you. So you've still got one? Yeah. Why do you need two?

Because we've got a lot of people in the flat. There's four of us. Right. They make a lot of waste. I'm very recyclable. You're right. You're very recyclable. I'm recyclable. For a house of four.

A house of four. But they're not the big wheelie bins. They're the small wheelie bins. Yeah, right. So you could fill up easily that Yeah we fill that up in like four days Jeepers You thought about composting?

Nah Nah it's too hard eh Thought about burning Burning any of your rubbish Yeah you like a bit of burn Yeah my flatmates forbid it I don't know why Right yeah

Something about greenhouse gases Oh I don't know I'm yet to see any proof of that But we want green We want more green Yeah So greenhouse sounds positive Release the trees

How are you going to search for these bins? Well I'm thinking of doing like a little casual stroll down the road And just like trying to pick up driveways And then if I Got an idea Vaughn's drone Oh yeah No it crashed into the ocean

It doesn't work anymore Plus you're not allowed to fly a drone in a built-up urban area. Says who? What good are they? Says who? The anti-perv policeman. PC madness. Oh, my gosh.

It's just red tape. I stole a whole lot of bins when I lived in town. Yeah. I use them now for storing firewood. Oh, yeah. But to be fair, I didn't steal them. There was a time where you left it on the side of the road if you wanted the council to come and take them back.

And I thought, well, I'll just take them instead of the council. I've had rates. And so I've got one if you want one. Yeah, we've got a backup bin too. I've got a big bin. This is a lot of flexing coming from you too. A couple of bins. I don't want to wealth flex everybody with the amount of bins I've got.

I remember when I was like 18, we used to go around driving and I'd take my Mitsubishi Mirage and we'd just sort of hit bins lightly to knock them over and then drive along and find a cone hit that open until the cone went under your car and started dragging making a whole lot of racket

yeah knock a good bin maybe they're having a bit of fun with your bin yeah maybe I'll just because there's always recycling bins left out, like a few days after recycling's been collected, because my neighbours are lax. So what if I just start taking all those recycling bins? Like a ransom.

One person takes a bin and then it's a knock-on effect and everybody's taking a bin. Like Mahatma Gandhi said, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Beautiful, Vaughan. So you'd replace eye with bin. Yes, a bin for a bin leaves the whole world binless Put that on a t-shirt I'm going to make an Instagram quote about that right now

It's beautiful, I appreciate it I'm going to share it Thanks Rachel, good morning Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley It was cold this morning Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Hi. No. It was cold this morning.

Cold start. Let me bring up my temperatures. You love this. You missed producer Jared walking into the studio this morning. He's got full puffer. He was in a beanie and a big puffer. He feels the cold. I know he does. He looked like Kenny from South Park. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. He looked like Kenny from South Park. Oh my god. Oh my god. Kill Kenny, you bastards.

Yeah, he does feel the cold. I know he does. Oh my god. Kill Kenny. Kenny, he loves his hoodies. Why is the MetService blocked? Oh, that's .com. Is it something else? MetService.hub. MetService.pornhub.

Weatherhub. MetService. Just bring up the something else? MetService.hub. MetService.pornhub. Weatherhub. MetService. You need to look. Just bring up the app. Oh, no, here it is. I don't know. It's a bit skew-iffy. It's Tomatanui, minus 3.3. Yeah, it's always cold.

The coldest place. Always cold there. Hamilton, it's one degree at the moment. Auckland's five. New Plymouth, five. Wellington, six. Christchurch, zero. Dunedin, again, we Christchurch 0, Dunedin. Again, we've got an error in Dunedin.

Maybe the thermometer's unplugged in Dunedin. Unsure, but yeah. I reckon some hooligans have smacked it down. A lot of hooligans in Dunedin. Yeah, or set it on fire. Coming up on the show, the top six. Vaughan Smith, you're delving into supermarkets. Yes, I am.

There are a fierce competition between these two. It's a duopoly on who can appeal to us the most. Well, you had Foodstuffs yesterday saying they've got 100 items. Are they going to price freeze? Yeah. Yeah, they're going to return them to 2021 prices. I loved how... Who's the other one? Countdown, Woolworths.

Woolworths Group. What's that called? Yeah. Well, like we're going to freeze these items. And immediately people were like, let's find the problems with this one. And you're freezing them at a seasonal high. Yes. And Spin-Off did a big in-depth into it, didn't they?

That was fascinating. And the only meat was like bacon and was it something else? What other meat do you need? Oh God,

imagine if the only meat you ate was bacon. Like price-free freeze mints, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You love a bit of mints. Everyone can use

kids love mints. A thigh. Yeah. A chicken thigh. The best piece of the chicken. So the top six soon dealing with this. Well the top six other things that supermarkets can do to draw us

in and appeal to us as a shopper. Okay, nice. We've got cash to give away as well. All thanks to McCafe with our coffee shot. Three McCafe sized coffee cups. Each with a different dollar amount. We'll take a shot each with a ping-pong ball. You win whatever cash

we get it in. Given away hundreds of dollars already this week. So the activator coming up before seven. But next on the show, a couple has found something cheaper than a mortgage. Living in your car? It's not living in your car.

Pitching a tent in the local park It's not that, no I'm out of ideas Well, a couple Ange and Richard They're from Seattle in America And they have decided That they won't live on the land anymore.

What? They will live. A blimp. In the air. They will live on a blimp. Yes. Wow. No, they will live on cruise ships.

They're saying for the rest of their lives. Oh, no. Because it is cheaper than living on the land, they say. Hope they like diarrhea. Well, yeah, because gastro rips through a cruise ship, doesn't it? Oh, yeah, baby. And as we've seen at the start of the pandemic, so also do pandemics, viruses, yes.

The pan-dammit. The pan- That's what we should call it. Dammit. This makes me feel yuck. I would hate to be on a cruise ship. I've never done a cruise. I think they're appropriate for some people that want a curated holiday experience

for a certain amount of time and see certain things for a certain length of time. But to live on it. And also, yes, they're saving money. Maybe their ticket is cheap, but they'll be pulling up into beautiful countries. You can tell me you're not going to drop a few euros in Venice every now and then. And that's the thing. So they worked out, they are from Seattle. The average house price is just over $950,000 US.

So they worked out that their mortgage costs would be around $50,000 a year. And they worked out that they can cruise for around $88 a night. So $32,000 a year. $82,000 a year. And they worked out that they can cruise for around $88 a night. So $32,000 a year. $88 a night. Food included. They're in a gross cabin with no windows. Yeah, yeah. They'll be in the middle cabins.

They're going to get divorced. I'm calling it now. Let's check in in a year's time and see if they're still together. And the idea of a mortgage ride is at the end of it, you've got an asset. And that's what they're not factoring into this. At the end of their cruise life, where do they retire? Do they just retire on a cruise ship?

They die and then they just chuck them overboard. Yeah. That's the way to go. Because they'll have no assets at the end. No. But I'm assuming they don't have kids either. And how do they have the money to... Because if you're in Seattle, you can have a job in Seattle.

But if you're in... I think they've just worked... Their plan was to do this a bit later in life, but they've saved so much and lived quite frugally. Right. They're like, well, let's just do this now. And since pretty much mid last year, they've been cruising all over the world. And they're like, this is the way.

Because you get all your main meals, a buffet, they're included in the price. Do you reckon there's swingers on cruise ships? 100%. So how did you get to that? Because when you said they've just been cruising I was like, have they now? Yeah, because you'd think you'd get a little bit bored. I reckon six months in you'd be like, oh. What are their names?

What are their names? Richard and Ange. I reckon Ange would be like, oh, Richard and I bumped into a lovely couple in the hallway. I thought we should have dinner with them. And they've got a nicer room than us. Yeah, and then Richard's like, alright, Ange, I'll have dinner with them. I'm hearing what you're saying. Next minute, footsies under the table. Well, they do have, you know, like, themed

cruises. Like, bands will play on some cruises. They have, like, gay cruises. I had a friend who, yeah, was in a band on a cruise ship. He said it was the best time ever. Because you just played two shows a day, and the rest of the time, you got free food and hung out and swam in the pool and then like got off of these cool ports. Yeah, you're in the Bahamas.

Yeah, you're in the Bahamas. It was awesome. I wouldn't be able to help myself because I know it's just like, you just go and help yourself to a buffet. Oh, yeah, and you're not allowed to hook up with the guests. Oh, I didn't even mean working on that. I just meant living on a cruise ship. Oh, yeah, right, yeah. If I was living on a cruise ship, my goal would be to work my hook up with the guests. Oh, I didn't even mean working on that. I just meant living on a cruise ship. If I was living on a cruise ship, my goal would be to work my way up to the captain.

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Even if you're retired and you're cruising around the world, you've got to have goals. Yeah. If you don't have someone to work towards, you'll just, you know. Yeah. Someone to keep you going, don't you? But I mean, that's not a bad idea.

Like, how much is a Ryman? You could just blow it all on cruises and sail out your days in the Bahamas or the Mediterranean. That's your style. But yeah, as Vaughn said, get used to pooping your pants and chucking over the edge. Horrible. 13 past six. I'm just thinking about that buffet thing. Yeah, yeah.

The fish has been out since bloody 10. Yeah, I know. I'm not touching the fish. And you never go early to a buffet because it's the leftovers from the last buffet. Yeah, you've got to get the fresh stuff that they're replacing. You've got to go fresh later in the day. Hold off on those eggs because I reckon that egg dish is about to be refreshed. Yeah, absolutely.

And you're going to get some fresh eggs. They're looking a little rubbery at the moment. I don't know if I could eat powdered eggs for longer than a few weeks. There's no chickens. Have they got chicken pens on the thing? We're not getting fresh eggs. Yeah, down stairs. Anyway, enough on that.

Coming up, a study is looking at who spends the most time looking beautiful, trying to make themselves look beautiful. Is it males or is it females? That's a rhetorical question, right? No, I'm going to answer it. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I guess there's a common perception that women take more time to get ready.

You're like, creaky. Was it me? As Vaughn gets ready? A common perception that women take a long time to gets ready. Common perception that women take a long time to get ready. There's always the image in the films of the man going, darling, we've got to go. We're going to miss the hors d'oeuvres. And the woman's

still zhuzh in her perm. Well, a study has, it's a number of studies actually. They researched this through four different means, four different groups asking a series of different actually. They researched this through four different means, four different groups asking a series of different questions

of how people invest and spend time on enhancing their appearance. And the first stage of it, they narrowed it down to eight most common ways that people attend to their looks.

So this isn't like if you're going out for, say, a date. It's not the hour before. It's overall how long we spend beautifying. Right, so you're even like gym. Even gym. So the eight that they narrowed it down to, makeup use, cosmetic use, so your skin cares, et cetera,

cardio, strength training, hair grooming, body cleaning. So if you haven't even included how long you scrub it up, dub. Hands grooming. Okay. A bit of chorizer or maybe nails. Nails are included in there. I always like to get a fresh henna on my hands before. You do love a little henna design.

I do. And mirror checking. So how many times you go in and... And then they looked at how many people, how long they spent doing this, each person, put it all together. And the result is, at the end of the day, there's no difference between men and women

and how much time and investment we put into our bodies. It's exactly the same. We just spend it differently. So while I'm, you know, Botoxing my forehead to death, you might be grooming the downstairs. Grooming the biceps. Or pumping iron. Yeah, pumping iron while I'm on a treadmill having a jog.

Or also pumping iron. But then we would have been at the gym yesterday for around the same time. Yeah, we were at the gym for the same time, probably. Surely you've got to be more. You'd be more than me. Yeah, but you did text me after the gym. I think you get distracted at the gym based on the message you sent me. Very easily distracted, this one.

Because I just left as you must have been just arriving and then you get a text being like, are you at the gym? I was like, no, I've just left, why? He's like, I've spotted a hottie. I was like, Hayley will love it. I wanted to point them out. And I was like, no, I'm out. Describe them to me.

Stop being a gym pest, Hayley. Stop being a gym pest. You called yourself a gym pest. Anyway, yeah, the amount of time we're putting into looking beautiful. Too much time, I would say. How long would you spend getting your nails done? Thank you for noticing I did get my nails done yesterday. Between, it takes between like 40 minutes to an hour.

Surely women have got to be more than men. No, but it's... Really? Yeah, like, I mean, I think about with Aaron, he takes a lot of time. Yeah, but he's got, like, so much hair. A lot of beard, a lot of hair on the head, and I guess more height, more body. Yeah, right. More to claim.

Just more surface area. More surface area to give a good scrub to. He loves a long shower. What do you, do you think you, compared to your wife, Vaughn, who would spend more time overall? Oh, yeah, but that's Vaughn. You know what I mean? No, I don't.

Wow. Please elaborate. I'm just saying you're not someone who places immense value in, you know, plucking your brows. Oh, please. Go on. You also have a very beautiful wife.

Well, why does she take so long then? Yeah, true. She's bloody. Yeah. It's all bloody paint and plaster. Paint and plaster, yeah. But it's like when we're getting our makeup done for Have You Been Paying Attention. Oh, my God.

They're literally like, plop, powder. It takes 30 seconds. They're like, thanks, you're done. I'm like, thanks. I have a two-hour slot. Yeah. They've got to fill in everything, though, don't they? They fill in mostly my bald head with a whole bag of fake hair.

That's the main thing. All right, 6.21, next on the show. An exciting new possibility for an Auckland public transport system. It's flawed. Is this the blimp? This is the blimp. Are we getting blimps? We're getting blimps. Yes. the blimp? This is the blimp. Are we getting blimps? We're getting blimps.

Yes. A blimp forever, Abba Daffy. Sorry, guys. My blimp was late. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Gondolas. I love them. Gondolas.

Gondolas? They're the boats with the people that stand in the back, right? Yeah. I don't think you call it a gondola, though. They've got on the Avon. It's also gondola. It's gondola and gondola. There's got to be a difference.

Yeah, it does annoy me. They're the same word for two vastly different things. I know. A gondola. Gondola. Gondola. Gondola. Well, here's a proposition for a zero emission public transport solution,

even though it's got to be powered by electricity. And last time I checked, a large chunk of our electricity is still produced by dirty old coal. Yeah. So maybe not zero emission, but maybe zero emission on site. Unless the power goes out and then we have to crank up the old diesel generator to get it across. There's a proposal that gondolas across the Waitemata,

Auckland Harbour, could be a public transport solution. Public transport? Yeah, they just constantly run. I always think of gondolas as a fun activity. Like when you go to the luge in Queenstown. In Queenstown, I don't particularly go, I'm taking it to work. We've got the, what's the one in Wellington? The cable car.

That's a cable car. Yeah, that's a cable car. People use that. But they're quite popular in South America. There's actual means of transport. A lot of, yeah. Well, because it's so steep, right? Yeah.

And in, like, for example, Columbia in Medellin, they use cable cars to bring the slums into the metro rail network. And these communities used to be isolated. And then they opened up and flourished. That's the thing. It doesn't have to be the main source of public transport, but it's a feeder to your rail and your bus routes. I always, where I grew up in Eastbourne, it was very cliffy.

And you always knew someone had money if they had a gondola from their car to their house. That's, I'd always, I remember the first time I went to Wellington as like an adult and I actually looked at houses. It's real popular there. And it's just like, literally like rail cars.

Yeah, from the street up to their house. Yeah, where you'd like park your car down the bottom off the street and then you'd get your groceries and stuff. I had one friend that had one. Are you still friends with them? Because I've always wanted to go on one of those. No, and they don't live there anymore.

Next time I go to Wellington, I want to ask. There's one around, you leave the city, go around Oriental Parade. Yeah, there's heaps around there. Yeah, heaps. But there's one in particular that I see, it changes direction. I know the one you mean. I know the one you mean. And then it goes, and goes, no, should we just have a bing bonger at the bottom?

They must have a bing bonger. Well, let's just, next time we go there, we'll bing bong. And be like, can we come up? Can we just have a ride in your mini cable car?

Because I've never talked to anybody. You're the first person who has ever said, and I've got mates that live in Wellington, I know someone that had one. You have a private school. Yeah, I know. Yeah,

and Eastbourne. Yeah. I've never seen any in Eastbourne Yeah heaps Oh really Because you've got to think Eastbourne drops off into a cliff And then it's the ocean So all the houses

Were like built up the side And if they had no access Other than a pathway It's the perfect place To build a house on a city On a fault line you know Right next to the ocean On top of a cliff above the ocean

Yeah What could go wrong Well next time we go to Wellington We'll have to put a call out. Absolutely. And get an invite round to one of these. Yeah, totally. Personal gondola.

A gondola over where the harbour bridge is in Auckland. I think it's a bit of a waste of money, to be honest. Oh, okay, my gosh. No one uses the bike lanes. So, a doppelmayer who In my opinion The finest creators Oh they make great

Cable cars Who A what? A doppelmayer You know when you go skiing Or the It's always a doppelmayer The chairlifts are always

Yeah yeah yeah They're always They're a big cable Company Was it a doppelmayer in Was it Switzerland or Italy Where it just Careered down the mountain

And killed everybody in the... Maybe. Probably. Maybe. Oh, God, that's tough. So there's a New Zealand branch in Christchurch. Also, good morning. Good morning.

They have confirmed they are proposing a 4.2-kilometre line across the Waitemata Harbour. It could be built within two to three years, cost around $200 million, which is just over a quarter of the price of the walking bridge and cycling bridge. Yeah, right. Which is going to be $785 million.

See, get in like you do in Rotorua if you're going mountain biking. You chuck your mountain bike on the... On the back of one of the open ones. On the back of it. Yeah. And then you get in and you go to work that way. Skididididididida. What about wind?

My thing is wind. Oh, yeah, on a windy day. That's the sound of me getting off, grabbing my bike and cycling. Skiddle-a-daddle-a-daddle-a-daddle-a-daddle-a-daddle-a-daddle. I wasn't quite sure what that was. Wind. Yeah. It's a windy harbour.

Yeah. Some days, even driving over, you feel a bit wobbly, don't you, if it's windy? Yeah. It's a good lark. They are a bit terrifying sometimes, eh? That Queenstown one. Why don't they just get... It's so steep. God, They are a bit terrifying sometimes, eh? That Queenstown one. Why don't they just get a... It's so steep.

God, you're basically just going vertical. But why don't they just get extra buses that you can take your bike on? Or extra ferries? Ferries, probably. It seems like such a waste of money. You've got to get off the roads. That's the issue.

I just looked up the world's longest gondola. It is in Serbia. Oh, okay. The Zlatibor Gold Gondola is the longest gondola in the world. It's going to have 9,000 metres of gondola, like from one end to the other. How long would that gondola, they proposed that one from Queenstown to Teana?

It was Arrowtown. Oh, yeah, that's right. Up and over. At the end of Glenorchy. Yeah, that would have been a huge one. Up and over. At the end of Glen Orchie. Yeah, that would have been a huge one. Up and over. Yeah, previously the record held by a 7.4 kilometre gondola in the Chinese National Park.

In our Chinese National Park. Now I just feel like going in a gondola. 25 minutes, the longest gondola from one end to the other. 30 minutes in a little capsule. No, thank you. Yeah. Oh, I think I'm out. If it's got Wi-Fi, though, get some work done.

Oh, yeah, okay. We need one of those Wonka elevators. The great glass elevators. The great glass elevator. Goes every direction. Okay. I reckon if we're going to get a few more from Willy Wonka's thing, we should get that little boat that he takes the kids in when everything goes wrong.

The psychedelic boat. They all take acid and troubles. Well, I want an everlasting gobstopper. Oh, yeah. I want a goose that lays a golden egg, Dad, and I want it now. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Well, if, like me, you've only just mastered the duck pout,

Kim K was big on the duck pout. Well, it's popular because it gets your face taut and your chin up for a photo. Gives you a jawline, gives you cheekbones. But nobody's, I thought that wasn't in fashion. Hasn't been in fashion for a while, has it? It's been fading away, but what was there to replace it? What's the face everyone's been doing? Remember back in my school, it was there.

Cover your chin. Cover your chin. Cover your chin with a... With a V. With a V. That was Usain Bolt. Oh, yeah, Usain Bolt did that. Wasn't that what Usain Bolt did when he... And then point to the sky.

We used to do that at high school, well before Usain Bolt was around. Before Usain Bolt. Why, though? Just because you'd hide the chin? I don't know. That was just the look. Right.

Well, now, the new face trend, I didn't know there were trends in faces. It's called the disassociative disassociative pout. That's the word, eh? Disassociative. Yeah. Pout. Seen on the likes of old, what's her name, Sydney

Sweeney from Euphoria. Yeah. That whole cast is saying like Euphoria is really like the driver behind this. It's a real Gen Z thing and it's like having a dead face. You're like dead face and like a little bit like I'm pissed off. Like

in our latest photo shoot where I look like I don't want to be there. You definitely don't want to be there. I look like I'm squeezing out either a sneeze or a fart. And Vaughn's just trying not to cry because his back was hurting so much on that day. That's right. I was in horrendous back pain at the time. You truly were.

So there's no look of happiness at all on your face. So I'll show you some examples so you can help me describe it. That looks terrible. Who was that? So she's sort of grumpy. Like this is what my mum used to say. I used to pull this face when I was a kid. Mum would always say, don't trip up on your bottom lap.

Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Watch your face, the wind might change. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's looking kind of like disassociated, like bored face. Not sad, but not happy. Yeah, they're calling it a soft grunge. Here's Billie Eilish does it really well.

Yeah, she does. It's like, don't talk to me. I can't with you today. Right, yeah. It's a disassociative pout. And it's the new look. So very rarely now will you see people doing a duck pout. It's the disassociative pout.

I might have to start telling women to smile again then. Yeah, give us a smile tip, something like that. Give us a smile, love. It lightens up your face. You're much prettier when you smile. It takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile. I think that, yeah, I think that'd be good. Yeah, cheer up.

What have you got to whinge about? Yeah, have you tried going for a walk? You've been out, yeah, yeah. Did you go into nature today? Did you get some sun? Have you had a poo? Something like that. Yeah, get yourself a nice treat, but nothing too calorie heavy.

That sort of. Yeah, that's, I'm going to try and practice my disassociative pout. I'm too old. It's like a millennial thing. Is it sort of the face I do because, like, in meetings? Yeah. Because afterwards they're like, jeez, what was wrong with him? Yeah, it is.

And I was like, oh, nothing. I just, like, zoned out a bit. I think this is the trend for you, Vaughn. Yes. Because you don't have to try. Yeah, it's not bitchy. I think I've nailed it. Do I look Gen Z-y?

Yeah, there's a bit of Gen Z there. It's sort of that. Remember when like heroin chic was a thing? Like shabby heroin chic. Yes. Everyone was doing that. This is the softer version of that, which is like...

You look miserable to be at work. That's the disassociative power. Yeah. Misery. From the self-driving ZM think tank, this is the top six. Supermarket price fixing, but the good price fixing, right? Yeah. Because when I say price fixing, I automatically think of like inside a...

It's illegal to price fix. It's illegal to price fix. It's illegal to price fix. Is it? Yeah, for like two companies. Like there was an investigation into petrol stations a little while ago, eh? They were all being like, psst, psst, psst. Yeah. Psst, psst, psst.

Well, they brought in new laws. Psst, psst, psst, psst. So you can't price fix as in you have to reflect what is actually the cost of things. You can't go to your competition and say, we're all going to set broccolis at $8. So it would be impossible for people to find a broccoli for $8. Meanwhile, we're buying them for $0.50. And collectively, price fixing is illegal.

But this price fixing is saying the cost of broccoli will not increase over the coming period. Everybody's doing it tough. You've got to be able to afford your basics. It's a freeze. The supermarkets have been accused of just, I guess, trying to... By taking the piss? Yeah, because their profits are so huge.

For their $8 bag of lettuce. You know who they should go after next? Banks. Yeah. Also taking the piss. Yeah go after next? Banks. Yeah. Also taking the piss. Yeah. Quit taking the piss. Yeah.

So I've got the top six supermarket tricks we might see next as a way to lure us in because one said, oh, we're going to freeze some prices and the other one said, well, we will too. It's like 100 items

or something like that, eh? Like key items. Yeah. Yeah. Because they're not just going to price fix stuff that we're not going to buy. I would. You know what I mean? I'd be like, what's that?

Creamed corn. I'd like to see them. Aunt Betty's rice pudding. Yeah, I'd like to see them fix my favourite Prosecco. Because on special, that's gone above $15 now. Oh, no, it has. It used to be a $14. It's a good Prosecco. It's a good Prosecco. Yeah on special, that's gone above $15 now. Oh, no, it has. It used to be a 14. It's a good Prosecco.

It's a good Prosecco, yeah, I know. I mean, this is exactly what people are talking about when they say people are a struggler. Exactly. It's hard out there. That's exactly what I want everyone to picture when they talk about how hard it is for families. I want someone to picture Fletch going, oh, no.

Fletch walking over to his booze cart and going, oh, man, oh, no. $14 was my limit of what I'll spend on. You're going to have to go to cask. I'm an absolute non-essential. You're dropping from Prosecco straight to cask. It's a plunge. It is.

So the top six supermarket trips we might see next to lure us in are number six, souped up supermarket trolleys. Oh, okay. Like get some mag wheels on it. You can motorise with a, platform you can stand on. Yeah. Dun, dun, dun, dun. That and that, that.

And you know how you drift them on the corners? Always drift a supermarket. I forget about supermarket high prices if they had cool carts. Yeah, same. I pay for the privilege. Cool carts. Number five on the list of the top six supermarket tricks we might see next. It could be the return of the collectibles.

But something we all want, like money. Spend $20, get a dollar. Wow. Yeah. Maybe do that instead of knives and Legos and stuff. Fill out this card and we'll give you five bucks. That'd be good. My knife, eh, though, it's still cutting.

Still sharp. The smith knife. The smith knife. Still sharp. Jeepers. Number four on the list of the top six supermarket tricks we might see next. In order to ensure the freshest meat, you've got to go to the supermarket and look the chicken in the eye before asking the in-store butcher for two chicken thighs. Wow. No, thanks.

You like that. That's going to draw you in. Yeah. It's like going to a restaurant and picking your cray. Yeah. I just feel really bad because they tie their hands together. It's like a handcuff them. Is that relatable content?

Going to a restaurant and picking your own crayfish? I'm just still getting a feel for the audience. Yum-cha. It's one of my favourite things about yum-cha. There's always a tank,key looking tank Full of fish That I'm never ever Going to buy But they're there

You're like Look at that one And one time There was one in its little It was actually Really long The antenna was poking I do too

Oh it's horrendous It's mean for them But they just chill It's the fish in there That I feel sorry for They're like Too big for the tank They could

You could totally repurpose those tanks as an ice bath. Oh, you could? Yeah. Hey guys, welcome to my YouTube channel. I'm just going to do some huffing. Breathe through. This is why I don't get a cold, because I go

to the cold. Oh my god, I am the cold. Number three on the list of the top six supermarket tricks we might see next. A playground at the entrance like Mitre 10 in Bunnings. So you can just drop your kids off and come back when you're done. Oh, fun. Yeah, you're not supposed to. Do you leave the kids unattended at the playground, do you?

Yeah, I do. I say, you know the rules. Don't go with strangers. Don't leave the playground. Don't lick your fingers after you've been in the go-ahead. I'll be back soon. Yeah, okay. And then like three quarters of an hour later, you're like, oh my God, I had children.

Yeah. At least they won't be asking you for chocolate bars and chippies. Exactly. True. Exactly. Ditch the kids. Speaking of kids, number two on the list of the top six supermarket tricks we might see next.

You've heard of free fruit for kids. Yeah. How about a free wine or beer for mum and dad? Oh my God. Happy hour. Yeah. There's a bartender on the way in.

You know when they've got those little stalls, you know, and they're like, do you want to try the Pinot Noir? Yeah. It's not enough though.

Yeah, it's not enough. Or they give you a tiny little... Yeah, we can just go, I might have to try it again. It's not quite lingering on the palate. You come back,

you put a beanie on, come back, and then get another one. Hello. Hello. What have we got here then? We've got a little pinot noir. And then you do it again, you put a little fake moustache on.

Oh, my, oh, my. Is that a pinot noir I see before me? A bonjour, no. The people working at those free wine tastings, it fools them because they can't comprehend. I would just appreciate the effort. And then after they've had like 12 and they're getting real sloppy and their accents are, and they're like,

oh, my, I'm doing an Indian accent. No. No, no, no. No, you've had enough. That's where we cut you off. I'm cutting you off. No more. No more for you.

And number one on the list of the top six supermarket tricks we might see next. Number one, maybe just lower prices. What a wild try. What? That's a wild. It's a wild. How are they supposed to make money, Vaughan?

It's a wild world. They're not making enough. You mean they could make a few million less a year? If they wanted. Wait, to make sure that people are fed. It's a wild concept. That's crazy. Hey, communist.

You've gone too far. You've a wild concept. That's crazy. Hey, communist, you've gone too far. You've gone too far. Let us know in the sub-sex. Well, upon reading this article, I'm going to say it's pretty silly. But, you know, let's dive into it. So, you know when we say researchers and you think, yeah, scientists,

intellectuals at universities and the likes. Yeah. And you think, oh, if I was a researcher, I was a scientist. I think when I think researcher, I think guy I went to school with who never really listened but, you know, has watched a couple of YouTube videos. Watched YouTube, watched one Netflix special and has gone. Yeah. That's the new research, isn't it? Yeah.

But you always wonder how you find your topic of research, how you go, this is what I'm going to look into and I'm going to conduct research around this. What did our friend Zach at uni, what did he do on circumcision? Oh, really? From a law perspective. Yeah, and looking at its effects on, I think he just likes.

Its ongoing impact. I really wanted to see a range of them, I think. Yeah, he just felt like looking at a few diddles. Yeah. Well, this researcher was trying to find how you can make yourself look more trustworthy when booking an Airbnb. Right. Because I guess, like, especially when before the pandemic,

sometimes you'd like couldn't get your place you wanted because numerous people wanted it or, you know, you'd book and then it would get rejected or blah, blah, blah. Because when you're on Airbnb, sometimes it's instant booking, but other times they have to review it. You kind of apply and they review. Yeah. And sometimes you have to put like your reason.

I remember when I was like hiring a place for a hen's party. Oh, yeah. And I was like small ladies lunch. That's what I called it. Small ladies lunch. Small ladies lunch. Anyway, we broke a few glasses. Anyway, so they looked at,

so what you can have is your profile picture on Airbnb to make your chances of getting an accepted booking higher. Okay. How they did this. Yeah. They took a man and a woman. Mm-hmm. They took photos of the woman smiling.

Yeah. Not smiling. Smiling with sunglasses and not smiling with sunglasses. Okay. They did the same for the man. Smiling, not smiling. Smiling with sunglasses, not smiling with sunglasses. So that was the test.

That was the extent of this test. The research found, and then they put it out to a whole bunch of participants, I guess, and said, like, who looks most trustworthy as the thing and who would you be happy handing over your house to? It found women smiling with glasses is the way to get more bookings. Really? Yeah, you've got a women smiling with glasses,

followed by men smiling without glasses. So men? Yeah, because men, when they're smiling with sunglasses, yeah. What's he looking at? Wear his eyes because, you know, if it's a thing, he can't see that. But a woman with sunglasses, I'm outside and I'm having a chardonnay. I'm having a chardonnay in the sun at my lady's lunch. So you could be smiling, wearing sunglasses,

maybe sitting on the deck with a glass. But the most important aspect is you're smiling and you're wearing sunglasses. Yes. So photos of men with sunglasses or both with neutral facial expression, which I think is a bit psychopathic. Yeah. If your profile picture is you like, like no smile, had lower levels of trust and lower,

they thought that they would be less likely to like book, follow through, pay and be a good guest. Do you think that would work on dating profiles as well? But then also sunglasses are a little bit catfish, right? Because they do hide like a third of your face. Especially if you've got some like early 2000s Kim Kardashian glasses that go down to the bottom of your cheekbone,

top of your mouth. You can hide a myriad of sins. So they do say, if you want, if people that are looking to rent out their properties on Airbnb or who are wanting to rent, because I guess it goes both ways, that people if I'm looking and I'm looking at the profile picture

of the house owner and I see a man wearing glasses not smiling, I don't want to stay in this psychopath's house. Does this translate to other profile pictures? I don't know. It's weird that it's just very specifically. It's all based on how much you feel like you would trust that person. Right. Would it work for your Uber picture?

Oh, maybe. Is there a picture on Uber? Yeah. Is it your Facebook picture? It was what I had at the time when I signed up for Uber. It was years old. Look, because remember we've been through this and I've had a few one stars.

No, I don't have a picture. What about like open homes for like flat listings? Could you turn up with your sunglasses smiling? And there's a big smiley face. Wow-wee, look at this flat. You want to take your sunglasses off? No, no, no. Because there's so much sun in this beautiful flat. I don't know,

give it a go and see if it works for you. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, he's one of my favourite comedians, a dear friend of mine as well, and he made this show for the Comedy Fest a couple of years ago called Boy Misty. So I saw it, An incredible show. And now he's filmed it. And it's on air

tonight. Joining us, James Rocke. Oh, thanks for having me, guys. Hey, that's all new information about me, Hayley, that I didn't know that you thought about me. But that's great. Yeah, I have a hard time expressing my feelings. So I just, I wanted to let you know now that you're one of my favourite comedians. I just say one off. She's also got it written down

with a blank space where she just changes the names to whoever we're talking to. I have said similar to Pax Asadi, Rhys Mathewson, Eli Mathewson, but you're up there, mate. I'll take it. Now, I saw the show when you

first did it, and it is such an amazing show. Tell us a little bit about the show for those that haven't seen it. So the show is about the first time I ever went back to the Philippines after moving here. So I moved here 20 years ago and I'd never been back. So it was kind of all the stuff that came up from going back for the first time. Like I met my family. I met family that I hadn't met in like 20 years, which is just a fuzzy experience.

And it's also just about like all the kind of hangovers from colonization in the Philippines. Yeah. Which I know doesn't sound funny. Like whenever I say that out loud, people are like, how is this comedy, bro? Like you're talking about decolonization and trauma and stuff. It is.

It's also got like 10 minutes on it. It's the dream that every comedian wants, which is like a show that makes you laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh the whole time and then at the end you're like, why am I crying?

Why am I crying? What did you do to me, James? Yeah, absolutely. And then people leave with confused emotions and they don't know how to unpack everything. This is Spanish colonisation.

Yes. Oh yeah. Yeah, big time. That's why my last name is like this. Yeah, I've often wanted that but then I also, like it was only this year

that I worked out that the Philippines is named after a Spanish king. Yeah, which is, bro, you know what's the most brutal thing? The guy that they named it after, it's like they chose a name that we couldn't pronounce. We can't actually hit the Fs, like the F-P-H, like we can't hit that sound. We don't

have that sound in our original alphabet. And so like they named it Philippines. When doing full well, our Fs turn into Ps. So we had to say Philippines when we pronounce it. And that is why on you'll know this, on Finding Nemo, the person that takes the fish is P. Sherman

because it was a fisherman that took it. But the Filipino animators on Finding Nemo couldn't say fisherman. They said fisherman. And it sounds like P. Sherman. That's a real tidbit. That's a great Finding Nemo fact.

You're such a dad, bro. James, when I saw this, it was in the main stage at the basement. And then the show got nominated for the Fred, didn't win, but, you know, nominated for the Fred. Yeah. And shout outs to James Lukise who robbed me in 2019.

It was also a good show. I love James Lukise. But then of course, it was such an amazing show and you thought, I'm going to film this. And then where did you film it? In front of a bigger audience, eh?

Yeah, so I taped it at Q Theatre in the main space, which is probably three or four times bigger than the stage that you saw it at. Yeah, and what was that like, filming it? Oh, it was wild. So the reason why I've always wanted my own special was I remember watching Chris Rock's special,

Never Scared, in like 2000. I had like gastro and, you know, rented it out. But I remember watching that being like, oh, I really would love to tape something one day, like an hour long special in front of like a big audience. So like that was like a dream come true, being able to do that. And I know it's not like civic and stuff,

but it's like, you know, it's still a decent sized room. And I think on screen it translates and it feels really special. Well, I haven't seen James Nakise's special on Primetime. No. Free to air networks. No. Free-to-air networks. No. Who's winning now?

Who's top James? Funny thing about that is actually he directed, like I tapped him on the shoulder to direct the special. So he was the live director for it. And so when I took it on the road prior to taping it, I workshopped it with him. It's got a little bit of Fred Magic in it then. Yeah, of course.

I was like, well, I'm going to get the guy who actually won the award to help me make my show better. Well, I have to say, seeing it live, it's one of the best shows I've ever seen. And now it's out tonight. Yeah. 8.30 p.m. on 3 and then available on 3 now. So excited for you, James. Well done.

Oh, thank you guys so much for having me, man. I'm excited. I'm excited to tell my mum that I have a real thing. Look, mum, I did it. Oh, that. Well done. Oh, thank you guys so much for having me, man. I'm excited. I'm excited to tell my mum that I have a real thing. Look, Mum, I did it! Oh, that's so cool. Thanks, James. Okay, this came out

of the blue yesterday and I have no idea how. Now, usually when I get spam, it goes into a folder and I never see it. Yeah. And so when it breaks through, I've been having a little bit

of this recently, I'm always like, well, how did this happen? So I checked my inbox yesterday, my personal email, not my work email. Yeah. And the subject was Petone,

which is in Lower Hutt. Yeah. Near where I grew up. Yeah. That's the subject. That's the subject. And then it says, just from Margaret is the name.

Okay. Hi, Hayley. Meet me near Pitone? Okay. And I was like, what? And I looked at the email address, which is like numbers, letters, at gmail.com. Right. Right.

And I was like, wow, this looks like fun. So I emailed back and I said, Margaret, yes, what will you be wearing? Oh, Margaret. And the weird thing about it is every time she emails back, it starts a new email. So then she said, Hayley, hello, and thank you for your reply. I found your username. Are you still on any dating websites?

I've never been on any dating websites ever in my life. Never, ever. Do you remember me? My photos are here. Link. Oh, you didn't click the link, did you? I'm not a fool, Carl Fletcher. And then I saw an email back and I said, Margaret, how could I forget?

Do you remember me? Now I'm going to scroll up to the next one. And then she said, I'm online. Let's have a talk. I have had this exact conversation. Let's have a talk. I have had this exact conversation. Let's have a talk. Click link. Yeah.

This thing, is it from Margaret? It wasn't from Margaret, but it was from like Susan or something. Yeah. I believe this came from the great Domino's breach. Do you think so? Because I remember that's how they got the, because mine was Te Atu, because that was where I had lived when I had my Domino's account.

Because they got your suburb, didn't they? Yes. Your email. They got from a Domino's that you had ordered from. Wow. Would you have ordered from a Petone? Yeah, well, my best friend lives there. So you may.

And often we might have a few wines, and the next day potentially there is a dominoes literally like a few metres across from their house. Wasn't that years ago? Is this still happening? It's years ago. That's when it freaks you out is when it's calling in a suburb. How do they know that? But it's strange

that it's gone so sexual. I mean I have turned it this way. But she said, I mean I said no I don't want to click this link. I don't want to talk to you online. I thought we were meeting in Petone. I'm on my way there now. And she's like, Hayley, baby.

Hayley, baby, please. No more emails. Let's talk on this site. Link, link, link. And then when I was enjoying this back and forth, I ended it last night because she said, I'm ready to chat now. Like sexy, sexy little face. And I said, well, I'm standing in the freezing cold in Petone waiting for you.

I've travelled down from Auckland. I've got to head back. I've got work in the morning, so goodnight. I know you're trying to play me. Anyway, so I shared this in our prep email, and I said, guys, I've been played by Margaret. And then producer Jared messaged me, and he said, Hayley, I believe we have a friend in common. Yeah, old Margaret. Margaret?

You got an email from Margaret. Yeah, Margaret wanted me to meet her in Albany. Oh! Have you ever owned as well? No, early May. I think I was a warm-up for Hayley. Wait, so Margaret's bi? I think she's bi.

She could be. No, she's... I think she's sapien sexual. Yeah, right. Just like humans. She said to me, like, no, I think she's sapien sexual. Right, yeah, right. Just like humans. Because she said to me, like, no, I can't meet, I can't meet. My boyfriend's going to see the messages

if we keep emailing, click on this link. Well, her boyfriend's Jared. And I said, boyfriend? Margaret, this is news to me. Are you aware that I'm a woman? And she didn't respond. So she is, must be bisexual of some kind. That's amazing.

What did she say to you? Well, we're in the midst of planning our life together. Right. Where does she want to meet you in Albany? Why did you click the link? Yeah, I clicked the link. I've sent her the deposit. Yeah. I believe it's going towards a little apartment in Albany. But, yeah. Oh, wow.

Imagine if she was real and she was super hot. Plot twist. Oh, no. Have I ruined something, the potential of something great? You might have. Yeah, but it's a big, you can get to Albany via car. I've got to head to the airport, fly down to Wellington, catch the bus to Petone, ask my best friend if I can stay

because she lives just around the corner. Probably order pizza again. Order Domino's. It's a mare for me. I've got to check with the midi. Babe, is it all good if I go hang with Margaret? If I go with Margaret. She might be keen to get Margaret involved.

Yeah, I might get tickled by a third. The other scam doing the rounds at the moment is this one on Instagram where someone's just like, hey, I need your help. I got like my eighth one last night. I was like, I'm going to engage. I'm going to see what they've got to say. And this is a dodgy one because it comes from people you know on Instagram.

It comes from legit profiles, and I'm guessing they get your profile when you end up doing what they want. So I was like, I always wonder what this is, because previously I've just been like, I send them the link to the story about the scam being like, I know this is a scam so last night I was like

Gustavo messaged me who's legit he does he looks like a maitre d' he did have photos but I've just clicked on his profile and all his photos are gone so I hope he gets his profile back

I need your help I said anything for Gustavo I'm trying to sign up with my Instagram on my new phone and Instagram don't allow me they showed me two friends

I can contact to help me receive a link. So if I get you the link, can you screenshot it and send it to me so I can log on? I said, yeah, please, Gustavo, send it through. Anything. I don't think Gustavo. I've just sent, please click link and then screenshot it, and then I get a text message on my phone to my phone number.

Oh, wow. Which I guess is linked to my Instagram account, but I don't know how some random outsider can get my phone number. Well, this is how they get your account is they're basically doing a password recovery. Yeah. And they're clicking your account

and saying reset the password. So when you send them that, they log onto your account, lock you out, and they've got your account. And then they do it to everybody on your account. Which is probably what happened to this poor guy. Because I kept getting the text messages.

I was like, Gustavo, I'm not getting any messages. Where should it be coming from? And he said, SMS. I said, Gustavo, quick, send me the link. We've got to get you on your new phone. Yeah. And he's like, I'm sending, I'm sending. I'm like, Gustavo, I'm getting no messages.

I'm getting like 10 SMS every time. And then he said, it should be, you should be getting the SMS. I said, how did you get my number? He said, I didn't get it. Instagram service is the one sending the link. I said, I still haven't got it, Gustavo. He's trying to reset

your account. And that way getting around the two factor. It's pretty crafty. And then I said, I've just Googled why I'm not getting the message and it sent me a link to this story about how this is the exact description of a scam doing the rounds. And he said, forget it. If you don't want to help me get into my new phone,

forget it. I thought you were my friend. I said, Gustavo, I would die for you. Send me the damn link. And then that's it. And then that's it. then that's it oh yeah the end of conversation so don't don't

engage in any of that it might look like it's someone you know but it's not and it's rife too because Jared's just sent through a whole bunch of messages that we're getting

from our listeners so many people Margaret Margaret I'm getting emails from Margaret I've got the same email from Margaret nice

you gotta be you gotta be careful. And totally unrelated news. Does anyone want a return flight from Auckland to Wellington for this weekend? I no longer need them. To see Margaret. Comes with a complimentary broken heart. Be Hayley Sproul.

Cue the Metallica. No. Do we have to play? You are the first man from New Plymouth to not immediately be fully aroused by Metallica. Nipples hard and really rough. By one man asking another man to cue the Metallica. Enter Sandman, please.

Oh, it's a banger. Don't screw your face up like that, Fletch. Don't shun. Even the band themselves didn't like into Sandman. Didn't they? No. When they first were working with the producer who made the Black album, which is... Rick Rubin.

Wasn't Rick Rubin? I think so. They were like, this is a sellout. We've softened up. Dub the Unforgiven. They were like, this is a sellout. We've softened up. Dub the Unforgiven. They were like, this is BS. And then this came out and they were like, they wanted to make a pop metal song.

And they were all like, poo, this thing. And then it's into Sandman. Arguably their biggest song. Yeah. So this is just that applying. We're in Brazil. This sort of. We're in Brazil. This sort of thing always happens in Brazil. And

Jose Fierro is heavily pregnant. She had been cleared, however, by doctors to go along to the Metallica show. Imagine being a little baby in the womb nearly ready to pop out. And hearing this.

That great entry music, though. If you think about people who walk out when they're going boxing or fighting or wrestling, they have an entry song. Yeah. This baby's world entry song was Metallica Enter Sandman. This is a kicking. Kicking through the amniotic sack. Open up, mum.

I'm coming out. So, yeah, the baby was born at a Metallica concert to the song Enter Sandman. You can't... Wow. You can't go through life and not be cool if you were born at a

Metallica concert. You know, if this kid grows up to be like a big nerd. Yeah. How pregnant was she? 39 weeks pregnant. Oh, you don't go to a Metallica concert when you're 39 weeks pregnant. You do if you're a massive Metallica fan. Well, yeah, I guess if you've been waiting for the concert, right? Yeah.

You have your tickets for, as sometimes you do, a year and a half or a year. Especially, yeah, with delays, COVID and all that. But so I asked if she was going to name the baby Sandman. She said, I will not be naming my child Sandman. Or anything Metallica related? Nothing at this stage. Sandman Sproul. Name, please. I'm Sandman Spr stage. Sandman Sproul. Name please? I'm Sandman

Sproul. Sandman, yeah. My Nana had a dog called Sandman. Was she a Metallica fan? Huge, huge fan. I knew she was a massive metalhead. She was a huge, huge metalhead. No, it was because he was a golden lab and he looked like he was sand and they just called him Sandman. Oh, wow. Okay.

Great story to tell though when you grow up. I was born at a concert. But also if you're mates of that Sandman. Oh, wow. Sandman. Great story to tell, though, when you grow up. Oh, I know. I was born at a concert. But also, if you're mates of that person, you get so sick of hearing every time the song comes on and someone you'd be around would be like, hey, I was born at a Metallica concert. Yeah, okay. Yeah, we get it.

Yeah, we get it. You're still a big loser now. It didn't translate to coolness. Good time to take a break. So embarrassing. I was born in a hospital. I am wondering this morning, hearing your stories, where were you born? That wasn't a hospital.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's a boring story. Yeah. Everyone just brings up hospital. You can tell us you were born in a national woman's hospital and we'll be like, boring story. And we'll hang up on you. We'll tell you you suck first and then we'll hang up on you. We'll be like, plain story. And we'll hang up on you. We'll tell you you suck first and then we'll hang up on you.

We'll be like, plain Jane. We want unusual places. Like born in the back of a car. Oh, I love that. Born on a plane. Yeah, okay. Supermarket? A beach?

Yeah. A supermarket, yeah. Yes, that would happen. A biscuit factory. A biscuit factory. Oh, terrible clean up in a biscuit factory. Yeah. But good snacks.

Good labour snacks. You wouldn't want it to happen on the production line. You'd have to write off all the squiggles. Unless it was a boring line of biscuits on the conveyor about like super wines. Very absorbent of super wine actually. It'd be great to just crush up the super wines and soak up the amniotic fluid.

Good for baking. Good for a banoffee pie. Great for a biscuit bake. Okay, so 0800-DARLS-AT-M. We want to take your calls. Maybe you were born somewhere unusual that wasn't a hospital. Yeah, or you know someone that was born in an unusual spot, and maybe it even translated into their name.

From eight, a baby in Brazil was born at a Metallica concert. Right as Inter Sandman started playing. Yeah. She was 39 weeks pregnant, but, you know, Metallica's in town. You've got to go. You've got to go. She had clearance from the doctor. She said I took all the precautions necessary.

The doctor said the baby's fit and healthy and everywhere it should be. So, yeah. So was there detail around whether or not she, like, pushed it out in the pit? No, she pushed. She was in a seating area where people with wheelchairs can park themselves up. So there's a bit more room. So I think she just. Just there.

Just there. Then and there. All right. Well, we want to know from you this morning. 0800-DARLS. And you can text as well. 9696. Where were you born that wasn't a hospital?

Like an unusual place. Someone was born at the Avondale Markets. Oh, lovely markets. So much fresh produce. You've got to get there early. Just like behind the stall. No further details other than Avondale Markets.

Jeepers. My cousin was born in the back of a car and they called him Carter. Carter. Carter. Somebody else was born on the side of the car and they called him Carter. Carter. Somebody else was born on the side of the road in a Capri car, a Ford Capri. They named her Capri.

Actually. To the car. A car, I believe, famously, if it was hit from behind in an automobile accident, often exploded due to the fuel tank positioning.

The Capri. The Capri. The Capri. Oh, goodness. Well, I used to love the look of that car. I used to think it was a really cool-looking retro car, but, yeah, if you got hit in the back, she was prone to a little explosion. She's going up in flames. Maybe that's the same with Capri.

All right, well, 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696, where were you born that wasn't a hospital? I would like to issue an apology to the Pinto. No, sorry, the Capri. You just remember before we had someone who was born on the side of the road in a Ford Capri? Yeah. And I said that was prone to an explosion if you hit it from behind. Yeah.

That was the Ford Pinto. I just heard from the driven department here at NZME. This is some synergy here. Good company synergy. For other interesting car facts and information about car, please Google I've really ballsed it up now. Please Google Driven.

Driven.co.nz Driven.co.nz Or you get the handy part that slips out of the paper. Yeah, they do the car reviews. They tell you which ones explode if you hit them from behind. If you hit them from behind. Yeah. Which in this case is the Ford Pinto, not the Ford Capri. Now, we want to know the weird places you were born that weren't a hospital, the unusual

places. A baby was born at a Metallica concert in Brazil. Pretty cool. Nicole joins us. Nicole, where were you born? Not me. It was my daughter. She was born on the side of the road, on the footpath outside the hospital. Oh, you nearly made it. So you birthed your daughter? Yes, I birthed my daughter, yep. And you just didn't see it coming? What happened? No, so what happened was she was a quick birther. So I messaged my midwife at 8.30pm and I said, I'm going into labour. She said, you've got a couple of more hours. And no, I didn't. Wow.

Yeah, my contractions were not normal. They were, as if she was just taking her time and she was coming. Wow. So, 8.30pm, so it was dark. You're outside the hospital on the footpath. Thank God. Having a bear bear. Did anybody stop and see if you were alright?

No. hospital on the footpath. Thank God. Having a bear bear. Did anybody stop and see if you were alright? No, so what happened was we like basically my husband rushed to the hospital. The midwife just got there in time to catch my baby. The nurses ran out and yeah, it was just all on. Was it a nice footpath?

It was lovely, yeah. A smooth one? Pat bitumen, asphalt-y vibe rather than a raggedy one. It was actually quite lovely, yeah. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, that is special. Some's a bit rough. And then someone comes along afterwards on a lime scooter

and hits the skiddy patch and just assholes. Lucky they're outside the hospital already. Thanks to you, Corn you call Nicole Some messages in Someone said I witnessed someone have a baby At Northern Base A couple of years ago Oh my gosh

Wow Who was going to Northern Base That's the only thing missing From my big day out experience I saw a lot of things At the big day out That I haven't seen since I'd never seen before

And I haven't seen since Yeah God imagine being born In the boiler room Yeah being born at the big day out. But I mean, someone was born at Northern Base. My daughter was born in my jeans. I was walking up to the door of the hospital

when the head came out. I hope this was in the early 2000s. The baggy jeans. Baggy jeans phase. Holly would have slipped down the thigh with all that baggy jeans. Yeah. That would never happen in a skinny 2000s. It was a baggy jeans. Baggy jeans phase. Yeah, recently. Holly would have slipped down the thigh with all that baggy jeans. Yeah. It would never happen in a skinny jean.

No. My friend was born behind a rose bush. Apparently, mum just went behind there for a little bit of privacy and ended up giving birth to her. Did they call her Rose? I don't know. They don't say, but her nickname's Bushy. Oh, see, I would rather Rose than Bushy.

Yeah. Oh, Bushy Sproul. Someone said, my friend was born on the side of the road in Africa, and the big thing is if you give birth on the side of the road in Africa, you don't hang around because of all the smells that can attract the predators. Imagine that. You give birth and then a tiger or a lion comes in. You just see some eyes peering from a bush.

Just chuck the placenta at them. Like, take that. You can have that bit. Yeah. Have that one. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. Hayley's version.

Woo! Songs sung with different lines. It is Hayley's version. It's been a while. Highly anticipated return. After some breaking news yesterday that the borders of New Zealand will be open to the whole world. Yeah. From July 31st.

It was originally going to be October, right? Yes. Yeah. And they've brought it forward. They still, they're making us do these pre-departure tests to come back though. So if you want to go to Aussie. Yeah, it's a pain in the bum. It's a bit of a pain.

Yeah, it is. Especially because apparently in Australia some places have just stopped doing them. Yeah. Well, this is huge news for our tourism industry, obviously. Yeah. Very excited. And boy, do we put on a good show during winter. Oh, we do.

Oh, we're picturesque. Just in time for like the ski season. Absolutely. So for today's Hayley's version, I sort of wanted to, even though predominantly people in New Zealand will be listening right now, this is for our tourists returning to remind them what New Zealand has to offer and all the awesome things they can see and do when they come to New Zealand. And so I thought I would cover a New Zealand classic song.

I won't even introduce it, but my song is called Haere Mai. And this is the song I'm covering. I think it's been a while since it's been on air. That's a good one. This is Hayley's version, How Bizarre, Haere mai. won't have to sleep in that grass hut. There's so much to discover on July 31st. You'll probably land in Auckland though, which is by far the worst. Haere mai. Haere mai. Haere mai. So get yourself a rental and head on down the mile. If it's 5pm, you'll be in traffic for a while. But pretty soon you'll reach the greatest place you've ever gone. It's gambling garden Bogantown. You're in

the Tron. Hide in mine. You's crazy. Hamilton's crazy. Lots of pokies you can play. But if you take getting tired of driving and need a sweet fix find a local dairy and get a $1 mix or a double scoop of ice cream some orange choc chip don't leave your scooter outside or neck minute it'll be nicked

some point you'll reach the capital which they say you just can't beat go watch some weird buckets on iconic Cuba Street. At some point you will realise that wind doesn't go away. So screw you Peter Jackson and this mythical good day. Hi to my. Time to fly. Say goodbye. Oh baby, oh baby, the Cook Strait is way there, The Cook Strait is way there The Cook Strait is way there Depending on the tide

It's a really bumpy ride You might chunder over the side The Inter-Island is great Hold the hair of your mate. I've added a verse here. Now you're in the South Island where I tell you what it's cold. No need to stop in Christchurch, it's just pretty white and old. If you're looking for a party, then keep on heading south.

Drive down Duterneden and set fire to a couch. Hit the night and day and give a mince pie a go but if it's after 3 a.m. you might want to give that pie a blow Oh baby oh baby Dunedin is crazy Dunedin is crazy every time you look around there's a drunk guy on the ground no policemen to be found but it's still great oh baby it's really long new zealand is crazy new zealand is. Drink a glass of Chardonnay. Then throw yourself out of a plane. Now go and book your holiday. Because New Zealand is great.

There you go. Come to New Zealand. Yes. I think that's going to get a lot of tourists. Yeah. That was your longest time-wise. That's your longest Taylor's version. I added a verse they didn't have in there.

Did you add another one? For their trumpet solo. I thought, I'll fill this. Chuck it in. Yeah. Holy moly. Tourism New Zealand. That one's free.

I was going to say, that's like better than the New Yorker. Don't go for battle in Sydney. I mean, maybe Hamiltonians are maybe a bit meth. Yeah, some people may be not so happy about how I've portrayed their cities, but look, try harder. Very excited to have our tourists back. Well, it's time for a conversation. A grown-up conversation.

Let's be adult about this. About sex. Let's be adult about this. About sex. Let's talk about sex, baby. An article has been done, and I read it, and I found it very fascinating. Well, firstly, this article was blocked by IT, wasn't it? Yes. I had to click, am I sure? Yes.

Continue to page? Yes, please. Would you like to read more? I would. Are you sure? I'm sure. Are you an adult? Most of the time. Age-wise, please. Would you like to read more? I would. Are you sure? I'm sure. Are you an adult? Most of the time.

Age-wise, yes. Maturity, not always. Yeah. But the article is why you should never marry the best sex of your life. And it goes on to say people will often fall in love with someone that gives them this extreme amount of pleasure. Right. But, like, long-term, these can be self-obsessed narcissists with self-esteem issues. gives them this extreme amount of pleasure. Right. But like long term, these can be self-obsessed narcissists with self-esteem issues.

Okay. Two types of people. The one you want to fall in love with is the one that cares about how you feel, constantly communicating, adjusting. And I mean, that's what you also need. Compromise. That's what you need to have in a healthy relationship.

But even though they might not be the best you've ever had, that's better long term. It's a more well-rounded partner. Yeah, right. That is open to learning, open to being told, not just, yeah. Not putting all of your eggs into one sexy basket. Yeah, the basket of life has many eggs. Are they chocolate?

You've got to balance your basket because if you put it all in one end, the basket will tip. Oh, deep. And then you've got cracked eggs. That was good from you. Yeah. Bloody good from you, actually. So you should find someone that, like, cares about you and loves you for you and you in turn love them for them

and anything that's not quite up to scratch is something you can work on together. Oh, you can work on it. Yeah, right. There's all sorts of things you can try, people you can go and see if it's not the best. Yeah. So on the back of this...

I thought that was very interesting. Yeah, on the back of this, we did ask on Instagram and ran a poll, is your current partner the best sex of your life? Tell me the results. 31% of people said nah. Ah, only 31. And 69% said yeah, absolutely.

But I think that also grows, doesn't it? Because sometimes if you're having casual, mind-blowing sex, that's one experience. But when love comes into it, I suppose it enhances the sexual experience as well. So when people are saying like, yes, I am, you've grown together. Yes. And that's what it takes to grow together. Yeah.

Is that sort of person. Because now it's the best not just because of wham, bam, thank you, ma'am, but because of the deeper connection that you experience together. You're making love. You're not having sex. You're making this sweet, sweet honey love. Honey love? Sometimes food can get involved. This is another way that you can spice things up. I'm making sweet, sweet aspartame love. Sweet honey love? Sometimes food can get involved.

This is another way that you can spice things up. I'm making sweet, sweet aspartame love. Yeah. Artificial sweet love. I'm making sweet, sweet stevia love. Zero calories. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, tay, tay. Handle. It's got a handle. Middle handle. Yeah, the Chinese takeaway box.

An American invention. I was going to say more of an American. It's kind of come here. We're more of the plastic container. Yeah. You know, you fill it for $8. Yeah. Or the rectangle. Rectangle, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Your mum washes it out and keeps it because that could be used for something. And it just sits in the cupboard for years. Until the lid breaks. And then, of course, without the lid, the base is redundant and it gets put in recycling. Good for renovation. We pour paint into it. You know, if you're doing little bits, you're going up a ladder, pour paint into your Chinese takeout. No, if you're just doing little bits.

I don't want to be painting my walls and there's a bit of carrot on the wall. You do give it a thorough rinse. Thorough. I've always said, though, that tone of white with that little MSG at your last place was quite the look. People are going to walk and be like, there's a je ne sais quoi about this space. It's MSG on the look.

There's a smell. There's a texture. There's a slight shade of MSG. It's a tinge of sweet and sour pork. A kiss of sweet and sour. So originally invented for what purpose? I need from you two things. I need the year you believe this was patented.

Oistrustical. Patented. Patented. Was it something to do with war? I need the year and its original purpose. Yours, please. Original purpose. So I'm going to assume that it wasn't for food.

It is for food, but it's not Chinese. I would say 1970s. And it was originally used to food. I don't know. Soup. Soup. You could totally do soup in it. Because it's actually like fully. It's pretty sealed.

Yeah, it's sealed. I'm looking at how they fold it out of a single piece of card. Single piece of card folded. I'm going to say 60s for lunches or something. 60s for lunches. For like working men's lunches. Wrong and wrong on both accounts. Okay.

Painted by Frederick Wilcox in 1894. What? For the purpose of carrying home your oysters. Your oysters? Yes. In New York City, this has been a fact of the day before. In New York, they reckon, in the harbor of New York, there were over a trillion oysters.

And for the water? Fantastic for the water. Or is that muscle? Fantastic for the water. No, they're bivalves, so they suck in and pump out. Fantastic water filters. Well, that's why down in the viaduct they put the mussels on the pots. Yeah, yeah, yeah, to try to filter out the water. And I've watched a documentary about how quickly

and how fantastically bivalves work at filtering, and that's why they reckon New York was just the cleanest water. Yeah. Because it had a trillion oysters in it. This is why I've got oysters and mussels in my toilet tank at home. Yes. I don't need a blue loo. You know, like some people use the blue loo.

But you've got chemicals. Every time you flush, you've got to sprinkle some salt, don't you? Yeah, I do. I do, which is annoying. I pop an oyster in my water bottle every morning to filter it. Uh-huh. Because we don't have a tap filter. Gotcha.

Fishy. But fresh. It't have a tap filter. Gotcha. Fishy. But fresh. It does have a tang to it. So basically when there was a trillion oysters and they were literally everywhere, people would just go down. Someone started making money because the hardest part about the oyster

was shucking the oyster. Yeah. So people would collect all the oysters and someone would stand there shucking. Workingmen would come and get them for breakfast, lunch and dinner because they were so cheap and plentiful. However, they had no way of carrying them home once they were shucked. Oh, yeah.

Plastic wasn't invented. Yeah. Buckets were all but spoken for. These were poor people who couldn't afford it and a guy invented a way of folding a piece of card that the wooder couldn't escape and would hold it in. It's like if you've ever had a cup from, like, Macca's, and you get a takeaway and you put it in the car holder,

and then you put the cup holder in the car and you forget about it and you come back and it's slowly seeping through. It was the same. It would be enough time for you to get home and eat or take it to work and eat and keep it watertight and not have to deal with the slugginess. Oysters, famously, you don't want to hang on to them for too long anyway. No, no.

No. I mean, I've only had food poisoning once and it was from oysters. Oh, really? Yeah. I'm not a fan. They're too... I love them. I love oysters.

It's funny that you said, you said, you said, like, was it a bit of a poor man's food as well? Yeah, it was. It was cheaper than poultry, which was the cheapest source of protein in New York City at the time. Yeah, way cheaper. Because now oysters are very ooh-la. So ooh-la-la.

Yeah. So ooh-la-la. So today's fact of the day is the Chinese takeaway box that we're all familiar with, folded from one piece of card, which is an amazing feat in itself, was painted in 1894 for the purpose of carrying home your oysters.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. The iPod, which you would say revolutionary. Revolutionary piece of kit. In its day, yeah. When was it released? 2001. So it lasted for 21 years. God, the iPod shuffle was a bloody good Mother's Day gift, wasn't it?

The iPod shuffle. The little skinny one. The original one, the skinny one. The skinny one. Yes. With a little center thing. Sade still has a pink one of those somewhere. Yeah, pink.

That's right. I remember I had a little shuffle, which was like, what, an inch and a half by an inch and a half. Oh, yeah, tiny. You had like 30 songs on it. But it was good for running. Yeah. And you could just clip it on.

I used to go running with one with the clicky wheel. And it had a spinning disc inside it, like a hard drive. It wasn't a flash drive. It was like a spinning hard drive, and if you were running it, it would go, and it stopped working.

The sound it would make. And then as soon as smartphones came along, they were an iPhone. They were a phone and an iPod, so there was really no need for them. I hung on for a long time because things like Spotify, I was like, nah, like it's too vast. I like to curate my music collection and just have what I like.

So I rocked my iPod for ages. And I've still got it, but I can't charge it. It's one of those wide chargers and it won't, it's done. There's something wrong with the connection. Maybe you've got a bit of fluff in your hole. I've blown. Have you defluffed the hole? I've tried to blow.

What about, is it a charger issue? Have you tried it on multiple? I've tried multiple of the square chargers. All right, well, just give it up. No, no, no. Two points of discussion. Can anyone get that going? Yeah, because the only reason I want to get into it

is because it's got all my teenage music on it and I have one playlist that was like 200 songs deep and just perfect. And you need to replicate that. And I want to replicate that on my current music source. So they've still been up to now making iPods. Yeah, which blows my mind. And they changed quite a bit from when I'd last seen the humble iPod.

Okay. They had like a proper colour screen on them. Well, they looked like an iPhone, like a Nano, didn't they? Yeah. Hard to describe how they looked. It still had that sort of iPod look, but anyway, it's gone and I think, like you were saying, you had that specific playlist. You would put it on, it would

remind you of your iPod. I want to know what song reminds you of your iPod. I will lead the charge. Do you have my Mary J. Blige? Oh, family of fear. This reminds me of my iPod. I will lead the charge. Do you have my Mary J. Blige? Oh, family affair. This reminds me of my iPod. This was on my playlist. You got an iPod and this song was the song.

This was the one, I think it was at the start of the playlist. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And like, yeah, great song. There was another song, Power Man 5000. This is what it's like when worlds collide. Now, I'm not expecting anybody out there remembers that song whatsoever. Was it from a Hamilton covers band?

No, no. It was, you know, I just looked them up before. It feels pretty niche. I looked them up before. They're still a band. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah.

This was mine. I can't think of one. Mine was more like this sort of holds the whole vibe of my iPod, which was like emo. Like heavy emo. This is like the lightest song I probably had on that iPod. Remember those T-shirts? iPod.

Yeah. And Fall Out Boy would have been a big iPod. Yeah, big iPod generation. So we want to open up the phones now. 0800 DARS at him. You can text as well, 9696. Take us back to the 2000s and tell us if there was one song that kind of summed up owning an iPod for you,

what song was it? They're gone now. It's a memory now. And also, if you have a way for me to get my playlist off of my iPod, it was the big one, like with heaps of gigs. I used to watch like movies on it. On the tiny little screen? On the tiny little screen, yeah.

Wow. So it wasn't an iPod Touch? No, it had the clicky wheel, but it had a colour screen. It was like 170 gigs. It was outrageous. All right, 0800DARLS screen. It was like 170 gigs. It was outrageous. All right, 0800DARLS.M. Give us a call. You can text as well, 9696.

We'll take a trip down memory lane. What song reminds you of your iPod? Well, the iPod, it's been announced by Apple, will be discontinued. I mean, I guess because we've all got a smartphone. If it's not an iPhone, it's a Samsung or a whatever. So there's really no need for them to keep making iPods. I didn't even know

they were still making them. Well, maybe Nana needs to update her device, her player. So many people are messaging in saying they're gutted to hear it because they still use their iPod all the time.

Really? Somebody said, my husband was showing the kids the iPod the other day and they were just like, wow, this is such old technology. Oh, shame.

Did you just... Calm down, kids. Do you know what, though? It would be great at the gym because you wouldn't get distracted by, like, Facebook and Instagram and everything.

Absolutely. It's nice to be offline with your music. For sure. All right. Give me a break. We want to know your early iPod

song memories. Henriette, good morning. Good morning. So my favorite song was Skater Boy from Avril Lavigne. What a song. Yeah. Absolute classic. This has got big mini disc energy to me.

Yeah, mini disc. Nobody was using a mini-disc except you. I know, I know. And only because you stole it from a radio station. I did steal it. She was a girl. Can I make it

any more obvious? And then, of course, she died and they replaced it with a doppelganger. Yeah. Well, so the rumour goes. Was this whole album

on loop for you, Henriette, or just the song? Majority of that whole CD, to be honest. As complicated as a hell of a jam. Yeah. And then remember you had to rip it onto your computer

and then drag it onto your iPod and iTunes. Yeah. Sync it up. And then it always had funny titles because you downloaded it from some dodgy-ass place on the internet. Brilliant. Henriette, thanks for your call. Sean, good morning. Hey, good morning. Hey, good morning, guys.

Now, your early iPod memory, what is it? It took me back when Hayley was listening about the emo phase because 100% listening to Evan is going to bring me to life. Yeah, mate. On the way to school. Were you hanging out with Hayley outside BK on Queen Street? Yeah, I'm pretty... Oh, no, Manor's Mall. Yeah.

Manor's Mall was the goth BK. It's always outside of BK. Yeah, the goths love a BK. They do do a vegan, they were one of the

places that did a vegan burger, I think that's why. Oh, wow. Take your bag, gang. We're going to get him.

Great song. Great outfit. All uniform with the hoodie over the top. Oh, my God. Uniform with a hoodie on top. Like hiding your shame of being educated. Sean, can I ask, did you wear a bit of eyeliner? Oh, if you know.

I was still in the mood for it. Yeah, yeah. I ran the black eyeliner down the face. Let's get an eye. Let's get a pencil out and get those eyes coloured out. Were your parents worried about you as well, like Hayley's? Oh, no, that was something secret. My parents never knew about that.

Oh, private even he's listening. I didn't know about that stuff back in the day. Secret emo. Wow. All right, Sean, thanks for your call. Lots of messages in. I've got some other ones. This one is an iPod classic.

Do you remember this one? Oh, my God, the Rasmus. The Rasmus and the ones. This one is an iPod classic. Do you remember this one? Oh, my God, the Rasmus. The Rasmus and the shadows. This is on my gym playlist currently. It's a banger. That one? This is such iPod energy. This is massive.

What genre is it? This is massive iPod energy. Also, the songs they use to market the iPod. Ting Tings. Yes, the songs they used to market the I.I. Ting Tings. Yes, that's on my name. But that, to me, is just like not champagne. What about this one? Oh, my God.

I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace. Now, gosh, these white men were all very angry. Very upset. Did they not know how good they had it? No idea of their privilege. Oh, God, yeah. Oh, God, yeah. We'll play some more and we'll come back with some more callers. Yeah, give us a call. 0800Diles.M

You can text 9696 to your early iPod memories. I probably had this, but the Mariah version on mine. Yeah. Lado, big energy. ZM. It's RIP to the iPod. Apple, I guess we're all using smartphones and streaming, so there's no reason. Maybe they would have seen a slight drop in sales over the last 10 years?

Slightly, yeah. Well, I think that's the last time I had an iPod would have been like 10 years ago. You would have had people that hung on, like, you know, people that hung on to records when CDs came around. Yeah. And then hung on to CDs when the iPod came around. And now, you know, it's hard to let go. If you've got an early iPod, you can get a bit of money for it. If it's like working and stuff

Yeah Early click wheel Like some of the early click wheels And yeah, some of the Like their collector's edition Kind of stuff Ooh la la So we want to know from you

Your early iPod song memories Adam has called through What's yours? That would be Broken by Seder Featuring Amy Lee Oh Emosh Got a little bit.

God, Adam, were you okay? Oh, sometimes. What a paper song I was. Sometimes. Oh, my God. What is that sound? Is it steel guitar? Steel acoustic.

Yeah, steel acoustic sound of the 2000s. It hit four to win there, bloody crescendoing at the end together. Yeah. Steel guitar was big in the 2000s, wasn't it? Oh, yeah, big. And there's a bit of strings.'t it and they're in the desert she's wearing angel wings

man I remember this, this is my vibe Adam here's a big chorus broken broken round in his etnies of his baggy jeans you've gone for Amy Lee's part and not Cedar Cedar's trash, Amy Lee's the queen

Adam brilliant let's go to Liam, Liam good morning for Amy Lee's part and not Cedar. Cedar's trash. Amy Lee's the queen. Adam, brilliant. Let's go to Liam. Liam, good morning. What's your early iPod song memory? This one's for the LimeWire users. I don't know if you remember the Jay-Z and Linkin Park mash-up encore song.

Can I get an encore? Do you want more? LimeWire, the program that you used on your mum and dad's computer would blow it to pieces. LimeWire was after Napster, eh? Yeah. There was a whole EP of mashups of their songs, eh? Yeah, there was.

Hell of a time. What a time to be alive! And then when you listen to Numb afterwards without Jay-Z, you're like, eh, it doesn't hit the same anymore. No, brilliant. Liam, thanks for your call. Laura, what is the song that reminds you of your iPod?

MIA Paper Planes. Oh my God. Good song. This song is brilliant. Huge. Huge iPod energy. Huge iPod energy. What a song with all the sound effects. Who would have thought of putting sound effects in a song?

Is this the edited version? It doesn't have an E beside it. That's how my kids, when we're playing songs on Spotify now, it's got the E beside it. They're like, sweary one. Sweary one, please. Oh, really? Don't shortchange me, Dad.

Laura, thanks. You're cool. Will, what was your iPod memory? I had the special edition u2 click wheel one that people seen amount of money and that was special because it was red wasn't it yeah black and red and silver on the back of the signatures and i've used it occasionally was that the one that people you could not get the youtube album off it yeah yeah that came later later that came later because i felt later. That came later.

Yeah, because I felt sorry for those Ukrainian people sheltering in a bomb shelter this week. And then U2 turns up. And, like, haven't they been through enough? They have. I had all the Now CDs on there, and the one that comes to mind is Chumpathumpa. Chumpathumpa. Chumpathumpa.

Chumpathumpa. Sorry, Will, what was the title of the song? Was it Chumbathumpa? Was it Get Knocked Down? Chumbawamba was the group. I can't remember what it's called. We're not moving on until you tell us the title of the song. Was it Chumbathumpa?

I can't remember. I can't remember. We were all Chumbathumpa. I remember a good old Chumbathumpa. You're't remember. We were all chump thumping. I remember a good old chump thumping. You're so close. You know what? That song actually is pre-iPod. That was CD.

Yes, it was on the now. Yeah, but that's big CD energy, that song. Why are you going to do the chump thumping? Chump. I'm going to thump some chump. If you don't mind. If you don't mind, Will, we might chump some thump. God, you used to have to upload like, upload the CD to your laptop,
