After a typo in the group chat called her Carmel. Was it a typo? No, I think Vaughn just started calling you Carmel. I think it was to wind you up.
Starting point is 00:00:52 And then I remembered that I have a friend called Carmel McGlone, and so I just thought we'd call you Carmel McJone. Okay. Yeah, so that's your name. You don't get to choose your name. It looked better than flannelette sheets. That's true. She didn't get to choose that. Tell us your good news. Tell everyone your name now.

Starting point is 00:01:43 whistling at the construction workers I like that jot it down sometimes they need to have a wolf whistling at the construction workers. I like that. Jot it down. Sometimes they need to have a taste of their own medicine. It's so short, short say where they're asking for it.
Starting point is 00:01:50 An eye for an eye. Yeah, yeah. Wow. They're asking for it dressing like that. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Oh my God.

While you work that out, I'm just going to shut my eyes. Last week's average was 4 hours 48. I'm not proud of that. I'm not proud of that.

Starting point is 00:04:03 Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. I'm the Hayley one. You're the Hayley one. Yeah. Some wild weather out there, so be safe. We'll update you throughout the morning.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I slept through the worst of it because I was sort of falling asleep going, oh, it's picking up. And then when I drove to work this morning, I was driving down the street and there's all this debris everywhere. And I was like, oh. Yeah. I guess I snoozed through that. Heavy winds.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Oh, shit, here he is. Hello, welcome. He's woken up from his slumber. I'm hearing body, half mind, and no soul. Right. Wow. Big wedding over the weekend. Big weekend.
Starting point is 00:04:41 A lot of talking from you, singing. And a cigar. Oh, yuck. What did you do? They live with you for a good week. Yeah, it's living rent free in my whole throat. Is that, can you have a lemon honey or something? I've had, I had a lozenge in the throat spray before and now I need a hot drink.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Literally vibrating the table. Listen to you, just listen to yourself, would you? If this was my... Well, yesterday, you know, I had a little bit of energy yesterday. All the drive from Otaki back to Wellington, the whole way I was doing dramatic voiceovers for my wife in this voice. She didn't like it. You know, I saw her Instagram.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Saw her sipping on a blue Powerade. She went... We both had Powerades at one stage. In fact, everybody at the after wedding function had Powerades. You've got to have it. I cooked a thousand eggs. No, it wasn't a thousand. I cooked a lot of eggs yesterday. Right for breakfast.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Yeah, we did a big communal breakfast. What are you guys all rich? Where did you get these eggs from? No, that's the thing. Everybody in the family had been like buying one box of eggs per day in the week late up to the wedding.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Right. So there was enough eggs for the big breakfast the next day. I did. I felt like the king of Egypt cooking up all my eggs. The king of Egypt?
Starting point is 00:05:56 I don't know why Egypt. Is that what he's known for? Eggs? Oh, he loved decadence. Loved to scramble. That's what he's known for. Loved it.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Well, you built the pyramids and imagined eggs were nothing. Yeah. Coming up on the show, our silly little poll, talking in movies. Vaughan Smith, big movie talker.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Now we talk about in the cinema. Light discussion. A light discussion. Cinema or even on the couch? Oh. My main thing I say when we're watching a movie at home is, are you watching?
Starting point is 00:06:24 Do you want me to pause this While you text? Are you watching? Because I know I'm going to be asked To fill in the gaps Yeah yeah You don't have to watch this My favourite is Aaron will
Starting point is 00:06:34 Figure out the ending And let everyone know That he's figured it out Oh no She'll be already married to him And then I'll go to It'll be fine Well singer
Starting point is 00:06:43 Over the weekend singer Zara Larsson Raised this point about talking in the movies, saying it's fine. Wild. Wild. The internet responded most kindly and, you know, reservedly. They did. Silly Little Pole, we've asked you, talking in movies, yay or nay, how do you feel about this? Our results coming up.
Starting point is 00:07:06 The top six is on the way. It's Super Bowl day. Well, the top six things you know about the Rihanna concert. You might think of it as a game of American football. I think the majority of people are looking forward to Rihanna's return to the live stage because she's playing at halftime. You know, sometimes they usually have a couple of performers. Is there anyone else or is it just her? From what I can see, they've not announced
Starting point is 00:07:28 who else could possibly be joining her on stage. I think she's got a special, like a surprise guest. I think just her performing is enough though, right? Well, it's like Lady Gaga. She did it just on her own. But, you know, Dr. Dre last year.
Starting point is 00:07:43 He brought all of them. Well, top six is coming up next on the show. Tomorrow's Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day. Oh my god, did you just ask me to be your valentine? Okay. Oh my god. Stop flirting with me. But there's been
Starting point is 00:07:58 a spike in the sale of something ahead of this lovely day. Alright, it's next. Do you have any Valentine's Day plans, Fletch? No. Just probably dinner and get on the couch again. Nothing for Major Murray? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Okay, nor do I. Although maybe I should take my cat on a date. Well, he's never left the house. He's never seen another cat. No. Okay, neither do I. Although maybe I should take my cat on a date. Well, he's never left the house. He's never seen another cat. No. Apart from like when I've taken him to the vet and he sees another dog or a cat and he's like, what? I think that's going to be too stressful for Valentine's Day. You could give him a special biscuit or something.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Got any Valentine's Day plans, Vaughn-y? No. Jesus, you're a piece of shit this morning. Listen to yourself. You're an absolute dirtbag. Listen to yourself. Why couldn't you have any restraint this weekend at the restaurant? Moment of admission.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I overdid it. I overdid it. Yeah. Did you overdo it this weekend? Not at all. Okay. We should talk about that later. No, we shouldn't. We're not going to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:09:05 It's a sore point in my household currently. I bet it is. So about that restraint thing. Yeah. Show some restraint, boy. The best part about my restraint is that my wife's lack of restraint was equal to, if not exceeding of, my lack of restraint. So there's no one's upset with anyone.
Starting point is 00:09:24 We're more deeply in love than ever before. Right. We've both been, you know. Yeah. Good, good, good. Pieces of shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So ahead of Valentine's Day,
Starting point is 00:09:35 apparently Valentine's Day brings about an increase in optimism. Okay. Optimistic that, you know, it's going to bring about maybe a nice date, a romantic evening, and perhaps some sexual activities, which brings about a 30% increase in condom sales. Okay. People still... I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Starting point is 00:10:01 You absolutely should. But, well, Foodstuffs said that they have this massive peak in an annual rush every year. Really? To buy condoms on the week of Valentine's Day. And they say that it's a popularity spike due to the fact that people go, I'm getting lucky on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Right. Whereas they normally wouldn't get lucky? Yeah. Right. Well, I guess so. It's sort of a week where you're locking in a little shag. Yep. They say, oh, 61% increase in sales of personal lubricant.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Oh, okay. More lube than condoms. I tend to dry out this time of year. Yeah. You double lube per condom. It's quite windy out there too. I go lube, condom, lube, condom, lube, condom. I blow it up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Wow, a lot of protection. He cannot be too careful. He does not want another kid. Are you quad bagging? Quad bag. You get a quad bag. Yeah. You barely notice.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Okay, for those, that is a joke. You shouldn't double bag. Never quad bag. Never quad or double bag. Glad wrap is not a sufficient replacement. Heavy groceries, yes is a joke. You shouldn't double bag. Never quad bag. Never quad or double bag. Glad wrap is not a sufficient replacement. Heavy groceries, yes. The penis, no. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:11:11 So the foodstuffs boss said that the last annual spike in lubricant sales was Christmas. Christmas? That's a sexless holiday. No, but would it be people gearing up for New Year's? Yeah, probably. As well. Are you going away for a holiday? Yeah, I guess so. I mean, obviously other things like chocolates and flowers and that, they increase.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yeah. But flowers die. So does most love. Especially when one of you is a dirtbag and the other one is an angel. You've got to both be dirtbags. You've got to both be dirtbags. Yeah. Or neither be dirtbags. Whereas lube lasts forever. Lube lasts, no.
Starting point is 00:11:48 No, no, no. Expiry days. Expiry days. Right, okay. Trust me. Trust me. Oh, really? Have we had a tingly... Trust me. Have we had a tingly experience? Oh, look, you've had to go into a pharmacy and... Really? Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Does that cause that? Does that, if it's expired? Thrash. Really? Excuse me. I think I might have a minute. Does that cause that? Does that if it's expired? Yes, check your expiry date. Wow. Check your expiry date. Who knew that? I knew it. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:14 A number of years ago. Right. Okay, good. And I've never made the same mistake again. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. Happy Valentine's Day, yes. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, a 29-year-old female from Orlando, Florida
Starting point is 00:12:27 has gone viral on social media for a series of videos in which she outlines how being beautiful isn't all it's cracked up to be. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Claiming her attractiveness seems her regularly judged on her appearance. Constant.
Starting point is 00:12:44 And it's hard for her to maintain friendships and it's hard for her to be taken seriously in the workplace. And I thought, you must experience this every day. Sorry, Vaughan? New Zealander here. Yeah. She's not that hot. Rate yourself.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Yeah, rate yourself, mate. You're not that hot. Mate of mine who went to school, his mistress is hotter than you. Yeah. She's all right. She's just down to earth. She's pretty chill. Maybe that's the answer.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Move to New Zealand. You'll suit yourself out. Suit yourself right out. Yeah. It's not easier being this hot. All right, mate, calm down. I've made it incredibly a difficult workplace for everyone. That's why I've tried toning it down recently of just sort of messy hair and no makeup.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Yeah. And I sort of rest my gut when I stand. I rest it on the desk. Just so that you guys can take me seriously. Yeah. It is a struggle. It's a real struggle. She's seriously not that, not, I mean, not that attractive.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Yeah, well, she has been wearing it online. It's gone viral, like 300 million. Can I see this person? 300 million views. You've got to see the videos. The photos don't really show. I mean, she's a very attractive woman. Very attractive.
Starting point is 00:13:56 But in a constructed Instagram way. Yes. Like a lot of makeup. Yeah, whereas I'm more of your natural beauty. You're a natural beauty, yeah. I don't need anything. No enhancements. She said even in a circle, you know, her friends, her girlfriends will be envious of her.
Starting point is 00:14:11 They're not really her friends then, are they? Yeah. My friends are just happy for me that I was blessed with this face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're stoked. They're happy to be hanging around and pick up your scraps. Absolutely. Scraps of men that throw themselves at you and you, you know.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Because my scraps are better than what they would get just outright. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Your scraps are five-star meals. Exactly, for them. What do they call that star? A Michelin star scrap. A Michelin star, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Because I'm a Les Mills 11. At Les Mills anywhere. At Les Mills anywhere. You're an 11, yeah. Well, particularly Christchurch. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Who went to Carwin? No, it was Georgia. Georgia went to Les Mills Christchurch. She agreed with us. Messaged us over the holidays saying she was at Les Mills Christchurch 10. Yeah. Just outright like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:00 She said you were right. Sorry, Christchurch listeners. Step it up a bit. I mean, you were literally at the gym when there were four people there, Hayley. I just think you need to go out. I was at the top. You were in the aqua jogging class taunting the old ladies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Yeah. Oh, Janice, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're muck. Keep up, mucky Betty. They don't have a pole, but okay, sure. They got saggy old boobs there, babs. Look at those little buoys bouncing around.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Nick's on the show. Silly little pole. How do we feel about talking during the movies? Strongly. It's a strong no. Yeah. Play it. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Silly little pole, mate. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. It is so silly, Pole, mate. Today's Silly Little Pole was inspired by a hot take or a horrid take from singer-performer Zara Larsa. Now, she took to TikTok to share her opinion. She said, now I'm about to go to the movies. We need to talk about this because people always say if you talk during a movie, don't go to the cinema.
Starting point is 00:16:17 And then she said, lies. If you don't want to hear people talking during the movie, then you shouldn't go to the cinema. Isn't the whole thing about watching something with other people in the same room to experience it together, to laugh and scream and have a full analysis of the characters while you're watching it? No, not while you're watching it. I mean, laugh and scream and cry, absolutely, as a group. But don't say, now I think he might have had a troubled childhood.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Yeah, character analysis. Mark my words, he's the killer. Oh, my God. I'm telling you, guys, guys, I've picked it. Vaughn's a bit of a movie, you're a bit of a movie talker, but it's mostly... Where do I know them from? Where do I know them from?
Starting point is 00:16:54 Oh, yeah, and then you hop on IMDb. Yeah, and then say where I know them from. Yeah, so this bright light's coming from Vaughn because he's on his phone. Absolutely. Yeah, missing the movie. Just checking. Wow, there were so many people that responded being like,
Starting point is 00:17:06 hey, love your music. Shut up. Shut your mouth in the cinema. So we wanted to do our own research here. We said, do you talk while watching movies? It's a 50-50 split. Really? I wonder if we should have said at home,
Starting point is 00:17:22 done a separate at home and then at the cinema. Yeah, because at home, done a separate at home and then at the cinema. Yeah, because at home... You do, don't you? You relax a little bit. Yeah. Because you do have more of a one-on-one analysis with whoever you're watching it with. Yeah. Your cat.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Your wife. But still, I just... Keep it to a minimum. Also, shut up, yeah. Yeah. This film costs millions and millions of dollars. Show some respect. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:41 50-50 split. Some feedback we have received. A movie is to be watched, says Justin. Most of the time, if you speak slash ask questions during the movie, the answer will be given to you at a later time anyway. Just be patient. That's a shock. What's happening here?
Starting point is 00:18:01 Well, no, we don't know. Yeah. It's the opening scene. Why is she doing that? We don't know yet. You'll find out soon. no, we don't know. Yeah. It's the opening scene. Why is she doing that? Well, we don't know yet. You'll find out soon. Oh, we jumped ahead in time. I know as much as you do at this point.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Yeah. I don't know. Phil says, no, no, no, no, no, because there are other people in the cinema and it's not my living room. Talking is the rudest thing ever. Yeah. All right, people are passionate.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Kath. No, because people who talk during movies are psychopaths. We don't know if they might reach that status. She might have a point, though. Emma says, not at the movies, but at home, on the couch, or in bed, absolutely. Usually a, what's he from? Or a, well, I'll IMDB him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Or Rotten Tomatoes gave it an 8.2. 99% of the time, it's movie related. Okay. Bat Country Clothing said, People that go to the cinema and talk during movies need multiple kicks in their front bum. In their front bum! Wow.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Jeez. That's aggressive. Watch the bone. There's quite a big bone there. Yeah. I want to connect with the bone. The pubis. You could break a toe.
Starting point is 00:19:06 You could break a toe. Backcountry clothing. Hannah says, yes, only because I have the attention span of an ant and I can't keep track of what's happening. That's on you. There you go. And Andy says, if you don't talk, then why bother watching it with someone? So he's saying it's a shit experience, so you should talk. Shit experience, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:27 It's a shit experience. They're there and they're laughing too. That's enough. And Tony Esty is yes, because movies are boring. Somebody's been on TikTok too long. Yeah. Just losing their attention span. Yeah. Movies are boring.
Starting point is 00:19:43 They're very quintessential entertainment. Some movies are boring. They're very quintessential entertainment. That was a lot closer than I thought though being 50-50. Same. That poll result. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:19:51 With these chatty cafes. Yeah shush. Zip it. Shush. Fletcher will be in the movies shushing you too whether you're an adult or a baby.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Play ZM's Fletchvorner Naley. Play ZM. A globalch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. A global apocalypse is officially on the way. No, but it does certainly feel like it these days. When you used to think about the apocalypse, you'd be like, oh, only in the movies. I know, and now a pandemic. Now we're hunkering or bunkering down.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I know, I've just spent the last five minutes researching if it's hunker or bunker down. It's definitely hunker down. Which one are we looking at? No, it's bunker down. No, it's not. No, it's hunker. No, it's bunker down.
Starting point is 00:20:32 No, I've looked at dictionary.com. It's bunker down. I won't argue with that. You can hunker. That means a squat. You can squat down. That's the origins of the word, but it's evolved to mean...
Starting point is 00:20:46 Bunkering. Yeah. No, hunkering. No, it's bunkering. Get down low. Make sure you're squatting in this. Bunker down, please. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:52 You can squat if you want, but there's no need to squat. What's the definition of bunkering down, though? Because you would need to be in a bunker to bunker down. Well, no, it just says bunker or shelter, and a house could be a shelter. Right. Well, I'll hunker down. You bunker down, it just says bunker or shelter. And a house could be a shelter. Right. Well, I'll hunker down.
Starting point is 00:21:07 You bunker down and we'll see who survives this thing. Oh, there's a restaurant called The Bunker. Anyway. Is it in an old bunker? It's in Queenstown. Okay. Good fun. I think I've been there.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Have you? The Bunker? I think I've been there. Leave me a quick Google. I've been a lot of places this weekend. Yeah, I have been here. Okay. I've been there. Leave me a quick Google. I've been a lot of places this weekend. Yeah, I have been here. I have been here. Lovely. Is it a bunker? I had the fire going when it was hot
Starting point is 00:21:32 outside though. That was my one question. It was too hot. Oh, right. Is it an old bunker? It's a, well, it's not an old like air raid shelter bunker or anything like that, but it certainly does have a bunker feel to it. Sounds like a great place to hunker down in the bunker. See, now you've used hunker. Now you just
Starting point is 00:21:48 strictly told us to use bunker. You can still hunker but you're bunkering down. Why are you going to a bar and squatting? Great for the glutes. It's not on. It's good for the glutes. The glutes are never off. Well, I'll update you with the latest in the news at 7. Well, I'd appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Whether or not you should be hunkering or bunkering. Just read the bunkering. Yeah, we'll clarify. But if the apocalypse continues, New Zealand and Australia, in a partnership with Australia, has been analysed as being the safest place to be
Starting point is 00:22:19 at the end of the days. Is it because, are you talking about a nuclear apocalypse? So if there was a nuclear apocalypse or any kind of abrupt sunlight reducing catastrophe. Like a volcanic eruption. Unless it was one of our volcanoes. Unless we've got heaps. Yeah, it really would be the worst. But they worked it out based on 13 different factors.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Okay. And what we came out on top of is our ability to feed and provide resource for our population in situations where the world is coming to an end. Right. So anything like a nuclear, I can't really struggle with that word. Nuclear. Nuclear. Nuclear. I've put in too many syllables. Yeah, yeah. Nuclear. Nuclear. Nuclear. Too many, I've put in too many syllables.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Yeah, yeah. Nuclear. Nuclear. Nuclear. Yeah. Nuclear war, a super volcano explosion or an asteroid strike.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Right. We would have enough resource to look after the majority. Right. Some of us will have to go. Of our population. We wouldn't have antibiotics and stuff though.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Don't we get all that from India and China because remember at the start of COVID they were like, oh, there might be a shortage of antibiotics and stuff because. Don't we get all that from India and China? Because remember at the start of COVID, they were like, oh, there might be a shortage of antibiotics and stuff because we don't make any of it. Yeah, but we've got some better thing. Like China might have too many people to feed if something like this happened.
Starting point is 00:23:37 So, I mean, they wouldn't come and take all of our stuff, would they? No. So the things they looked at, food production, energy self-sufficiency, manufacturing and impact on climate, and we sat on the top. No, no, no, we're too close to the ocean. The majority of our population live within Kui of the bloody sea.
Starting point is 00:23:55 If it's an asteroid strike that causes a massive T tsunami. When did living by the sea ever cause any issues ever? I'm going to ask people right now. I'm sure the salt water lapping at their ranch like it would not be a problem whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:24:10 They said that there was one drawback. I don't really understand it. It's something with the military. Trilateral security pact between Australia, New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:24:20 the United Kingdom and the United States. Were they saying we're on like... More of a target? Yeah, bombs start going off and they're like, who are they teamed up with? Oh, but we performed New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. They're saying we're on like... More of a target. Yeah, bombs start going off and they're like, who are they teamed up with?
Starting point is 00:24:30 Oh, but we performed in that case, we performed slightly stronger than Australia. So we were less likely to be a target. We're skinnier, we're harder to hit. Yeah. Here we are. Sorry. Should we call them shapely?
Starting point is 00:24:44 Curvaceous Australia. I was going to say quite wide. Big fat ass on that thing. One heck of a dumper. Yeah, big dumper on Australia. Whereas we've got a little cinched situation, don't we? So comparatively, China, Russia and the United States, if a nuclear winter struck,
Starting point is 00:25:05 they would see a food production drop of 97%. So you wouldn't be able to do that. So even if we... Here go the cheap limes from Mexico. Yeah. Hayley's got a lime tree. I've got a big lime tree. I could serve quite a lot of Northwestern. We just have to do what our ancestors did for literally tens of thousands of years,
Starting point is 00:25:23 is eat seasonally. Yeah. You know, we can't demand winter stuff in the middle of summer and summer stuff in the middle of winter. But you've got a fungi on your lime tree. Yeah, but you can still eat them. It's not inside, it's on the outside.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Yeah, but you're not going to survive the apocalypse if you get too fussy about your citrus. Yeah, if you don't like my bloody citrus rot. Yeah. They said even in the worst case scenario, which would be a 61% reduction in crops during a prolonged nuclear winter, we'd still have enough food to eat.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Fantastic. Cheery news this morning to start the week. Yeah, cheery appropriate news. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the Top 6. Hello there.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Today there is a Rihanna concert happening that is being bookended by some football. Some American football. The Super Bowl halftime show. You bet. Who was last year? Dr. Dre. That was amazing. M&M, 50 Cent.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Amazing. It was the whole thing. Mary J. Blige. 50 Cent came in upside down. Is anybody going to beat Maroon 5 though? We're dead. 50 Cent was the whole thing 50 Cent came in upside down is anybody gonna beat Maroon 5 though? we're dead impossible
Starting point is 00:26:28 this love is making it so complete I said goodbye too many times
Starting point is 00:26:37 before banger after banger after banger after banger yeah so good No you can't beat that I got the top six things you need to know about the Rihanna concert
Starting point is 00:26:48 I'm at a payphone I'm at a payphone Trying to call home Earth, earth, earth See? Yeah What I mean? She will be loved.
Starting point is 00:27:08 She will be loved. That's beautiful. Man, nothing got the crowd going. More than Maroon 5. But a Maroon 5. Rihanna's concert today at the Super Bowl. Here's what you need to know. Top six things, number six.
Starting point is 00:27:28 It's also going to have some amazing ads. It's the only time of the year where you're like, did you see that ad? Although, do you remember last year there were like a handful of crypto ads? Larry David, Matt Damon, many celebrities. And all came under fire in the last like three or four months. Yeah. When all these places went bust.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Apparently in one of the ads Bryan Cranston is playing Walter White and he said that it's that's it. And also Jennifer Coolidge has done an ad I believe.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Wow. Wow. John Travolta's in an ad and he pays homage to Olivia Newton-John. Aww. I bet the estate of Olivia Newton-John. I bet the estate of
Starting point is 00:28:06 Olivia Newton-John family is stoked that her death is being monetised. They're probably getting a little bit of money. Oh, they'll get a little coin. Hopefully they get a little coin. Number five on the list, the top six things you need to know about the Rihanna concert today. It's absolutely fine to watch it and judge her outfit
Starting point is 00:28:22 while you have a mouthful of chicken wings. Yeah. She looks like shit. She sounds terrible. She's put on some weight, eh? That's the average punter? Yeah, pretty much acceptable. Number four on the list of the top six things you need to know
Starting point is 00:28:43 about the Rihanna concert today, you'll hear the term Philadelphia Eagles thrown around. Now, those aren't actual eagles. They are men. Okay. And the Kansas City Chiefs. Not chiefs. Just men.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I don't know how it all works. That's a football team. And they wear helmets, right? And big shoulder pads. Big shoulder pads. Big shoulder pads. Number three on the list of the top six things you need to know about the Rihanna concert today.
Starting point is 00:29:07 You can gamble on a whole lot of things including what colour the liquid poured on the winning coach is going to be. The winning colour at the moment, yellow green. Yellow green. Is it a Powerade though? Yeah. They always tip the whole
Starting point is 00:29:24 thing on them. Outside chances, none? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They tip the whole thing on them. Outside chances, none. Yeah. Water or purple. Okay. But red, orange, blue, yellow, green are sort of your favourites. Okay. Blue's been the winning colour in the three of the past four years,
Starting point is 00:29:40 but yellow, green is the favourite this time. You can actually bet on that. Yeah. It's likely. What's the winner paying? How much is it like? Well, it's like yeah, I guess it's the equivalent of $1.65.
Starting point is 00:29:52 You know, I'm through with the how you bet on horses and such. Yeah. For every dollar you get back $1.65. If I was the water boy, I'd be taking out a $10,000 bet. On purple. So would I. Purple's at $7.50. Put it all on purple. Oh, same. So would I. Purple's at $7.50. Oh, put it all on purple. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:07 It's likely because in 2018 when the Philadelphia Eagles won, yellow Gatorade was poured on then-coach Doug Peterson. If you're wondering what colour the Kansas City Chiefs used when they won in 2020, it was orange. Is it just whatever's left in the cooler? Yeah. In the drinks cooler? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Okay, yum. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six things you need to know about the Rihanna concert today. You'll see LVII written down a lot. That's Roman numerals for 57th. This is the 57th Super Bowl. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:35 And number one on the list of the top six things you need to know about the Rihanna concert today. Someone's likely to take a blow to the head that's going to likely give them CTE. Chronic Traumatic Enchromphalopathy. But yay, sports. Go sports. Go sports. And they wear helmets. You should watch a documentary on CTE. It's nuts. It's horrible. Even just some of the past rugby players here in New Zealand are just struggling.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Yeah, man. Oh, yeah. Post-retirement, it's pretty sad. It's very sad. It's intense. So I'd be made up for it. But anyway, R'd be... But anyway, Rihanna. But Rihanna. But Rihanna. Rihanna, Chicken Wings, great ads.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Yeah, I mean, you got it all. It's got it all. That's the next top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now this is a... These stats are out of Britain. Okay. But we share a lot of heritage, I guess, with them.
Starting point is 00:31:26 50% of British men, white British men 50% of them have a chance of losing their hair by the time they're in their 40s so by their 40s 80% of men by the time they reach 80 that's nearly everyone essentially
Starting point is 00:31:42 and I guess it's a massive thing isn't it sometimes and so they did some study in Taiwan it took a group of men to try to work out if they would be able to determine who was going to lose their hair and how
Starting point is 00:31:58 they could work that out. Did they just look at their like grandparents or their parents? It's definitely a lot of it's hereditary but there was one thing that commonly Just look at their grandparents or their parents. There's definitely a lot of it's hereditary, yeah. But there was one thing that commonly affects a lot of men who lose their hair, and that is that their right ring finger is taller than their right index finger. What is your ring? So your fourth finger, that one, is longer than your pointing finger. What is your ring? So your fourth finger,
Starting point is 00:32:25 that one, is longer than your pointing finger. Oh, it is. I'm bald. On my left hand, it's longer. On my right hand, it's the same.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Wow. Did you only just learn that you're bald? God, you have big man hands, eh? You've got big man farm hands. You've got big man farm hands. Hold up your hands like this. No, put them, put fingertips to me.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Which one's your right one? That one. No, your ring finger's slightly shorter. So you're not bald. Oh yeah, you're not bald. I'm not bald. Imagine if I took my hat off and your hair had grown back. Whereas mine is a lot longer, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:33:03 Yeah, yours is a lot longer. But what kind of baldness is this? Well, not the hereditary kind. So not like you can follow your parents and go, oh, my dad lost his hair around this age. It would probably happen to me. Yeah. Although that doesn't always work.
Starting point is 00:33:17 It kind of skips a generation, doesn't it? It must be weird, you know, when you see siblings like brothers and one of them's bald and one of them's not. Yeah. That's always like, oh, what's happened here? Well, the reason they think... Mum was sleeping around. Yeah, yeah, mum.
Starting point is 00:33:30 With the Aramex courier. I don't think there was Aramex back in the day. So the reason... Are you sure? Yeah. Not in New Zealand. Right. The reason they think...
Starting point is 00:33:41 If you're already balding, I mean, you're probably baldding because you're a baby. Yeah. But I was including like Postaste and the pre-New Zealand Couriers. You said Aramex. Yeah, but I was including the umbrella companies that Aramex became. So Couriers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Became Aramex. Who became Aramex? I thought it was a new... No, wasn't it something like New Zealand Careers or Post Hayes? They sold, did they? Is Post Hayes still a thing? I think so. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:10 You're quite big up. What about Sub 60? Are they still kicking? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I see them around every now and then. Do you? All I know is that when I order something and it's like Aramex have got it on its way, I'm like...
Starting point is 00:34:19 Yeah, you're like, oh, I'm never getting that. Yeah, yeah, see you. Okay, we'll see you soon. Yeah, cool. So the reason I think that you're... Just let your neighbours know to expect a package. The reason they think that you could have a long ring finger and that be tied to baldness is the long ring finger
Starting point is 00:34:36 is a sign of high testosterone. And high testosterone causes hair loss. Have I got high testosterone? A testosterone imbalance, yeah. Yeah, so why? That's why my hair falls out. Because polycystic ovarian syndrome, a lot of I got high testosterone? A testosterone imbalance. Yeah, so why? That's why my hair falls out. Because polycystic ovarian syndrome, a lot of it's high testosterone.
Starting point is 00:34:48 And that's why you're quite, lads, lads, lads. And that's why I'm not afraid of a bloody tackle when we play ruggers. Yeah. When we play ruggers. And leering at the ladies. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:34:59 You love a wolf whistle, don't you? Yeah. Yeah. Get fries with that shake, sweetheart. That's what Hayley always says. I always say, when Cowan and Shanley at Pyjamas walk in, I always say, oh, give us a smile, love. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Come on. Cheer up. But it's not your fault it's a high testosterone. A post-disabioid syndrome. Yeah. It affects a lot of women, and I'm one of them. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. We're joined on the phone this morning from WeatherWatch.co.nz.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Philip Duncan, come on, Philippe.co.nz, Philip Duncan. Come on, Philippe, kick the ball like I told you. Wow, that's a callback. How can that ad still be bugging me in 2023? Yeah, I know. Every Philippe I know. Come on, Philippe, kick the ball like I told you. Was that an ad for yogurt?
Starting point is 00:35:42 Yeah. And then Philippe booted the ball, collected his old man, blew him through the back of the sock and ate. Great. And then tucked into a strawberry yogurt play. Yum, yum. Delicious. Now, Philip, serious news. The cyclone that's battering the country.
Starting point is 00:35:58 I mean, there are obviously people without power. There have been huge swells and waves and trees are down. But some people are saying, well, we're expected worse. Yeah, and we get that in every storm because it's not stormy at their house and they don't seem to care about anyone else that isn't, you know, them. We're learning this about humans, aren't we? Yeah, if you look at the, I mean, it's so strange because in most other countries, they go, oh, thank God I'm not being hit by it.
Starting point is 00:36:24 But here they're like, oh, it didn't hit my house. What a load of rubbish. And yet you look at the power outage map and you're like, there's a lot of people in the upper North Island without power. And the cyclone's not even here yet. It's still north of New Zealand. So is the worst yet to come? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:39 The main part of it actually comes in later today and tonight and overnight tonight and Tuesday. And that's when it comes in closer to Auckland. The air pressure drops, the storm becomes more intense and we're likely to see record low air pressure in the Auckland region and that basically means that the storm is very intense and can produce very strong winds and very heavy rain. Will our ears pop?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Probably not, although some people have told me that their ears have been popping the last day or so. You know that thing on the wall that your dad always walks past and goes tap, tap, tap, and it's got the needle? Grandparents always had those. Barometers? Yeah. This could be the lowest in many, many, many, many years.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Yeah, for the Auckland region, it could be the lowest on record because our lowest air pressure in Auckland, I believe, is 970 hectopascals or millibars. And this storm, some forecasts are putting it down to 957, which is unbelievably low. That would make it deeper than the air pressure was when it was a severe category cyclone. Does that mean it's more windier when that happens?
Starting point is 00:37:44 What does it mean? It makes it more intense, more inclined to see very strong winds and heavy rain as well. What are hectopascals? It's how you measure the air pressure. Hectopascals. How many hectopascals would a balloon have? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:00 I was just trying to compare it to something. He's not a balloon man. No, but I was just trying to compare it to something. He's not a balloon expert, Vaughn. He's a weather expert. I am so sorry to compare it to something. He's not a balloon man. No, but I was just trying to compare it to something. He's not a balloon expert, Vaughn. He's a weather expert. I am so sorry to have brought up balloons. They're in the news at the moment, though, aren't they? Philip, so I noticed that originally we were saying,
Starting point is 00:38:16 oh, you know, Wednesday is going to be kind of gone and come Thursday we might be out of it. But now just looking at the weather apps, they've kind of got us covered till right through to next week. Is it going to linger around a little bit longer? It will. The stormy kind of weather is really today and tomorrow. Then the low kind of falls apart slowly or unwinds
Starting point is 00:38:36 over the next sort of two more days east of New Zealand. And that means just more sort of showers and wet weather coming in behind it. So, yeah, it's not a perfectly clear-cut system, but that's the tracking at this stage. Cool. Philip. Cool, Philip. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Where the F is summer? And when can we expect it? I don't think we're getting it. Summer finishes in two weeks. You don't have to ask any more about where summer's gone. Oh, my God. Are we going to have a nice autumn? I hope so. I hope so.
Starting point is 00:39:05 I hope so. You hope so? You're in with a man. That doesn't fill me with confidence. But what are we in at the moment? Is it an El Nino, La Nina, Benina? We're in La Nina, but it's almost gone. Almost.
Starting point is 00:39:18 So is it our third year in La Nina? It is. It's our third consecutive La Nina. So this will be the end of it the next one coming up will be El Nino by the looks of it so that's the opposite it gets drier and windier
Starting point is 00:39:31 hell yeah hell yeah what a great planet wow well Philip thank you so much for updating us so I guess just to recap expecting more the worst of it still to come today and tomorrow yeah that's right still to intensify later come today and tomorrow. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Still to intensify later on today and tonight and then across Tuesday as well. That's sort of the main part of it. And then it starts to unwind Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Philip, I love that you make it so understandable. I really appreciate that because honestly, I'm just going, the weather's shit. That's why a lot of people get frustrated because they hear that there's a warning out. They think that's the start. That's the whole storm. And actually, warnings can take sort of, you can have several warnings in a storm like this.
Starting point is 00:40:09 And the last one might be the worst one. So it's just a matter of just realise it could take longer than you think to go through. Yeah. And just before you go, what about our South Island listeners this morning? Are they going to escape most of this? They'll get some of this weather coming into the upper South Island, yes. It's around the Kaikoura Ranges especially. They're more exposed. Other areas, not quite so much.
Starting point is 00:40:30 But yeah, heavy rain could be going down into parts of Canterbury along with very strong winds too. It's only a fear they get a little bit. Yeah, they get you a little bit. Just a taste. Just a taste. Philip Duncan from weatherwatch.co.nz.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Appreciate it as always. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you so much,watch.co.nz. Appreciate it as always. Thank you so much. Yes, thank you. Thank you so much, guys. Cheers. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Ailey. Play ZM. Now, I might have got some stats wrong when I teased this.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Okay. Good thing you are back to hear the real ones. So, this Valentine's Day, perhaps a slightly... Sort of a clickbait situation. I clickbaited. You clickbaited. Wow. I clickbaited.
Starting point is 00:41:09 How does that feel? Empowering. Yeah, good. I hooked you, got you, is the feeling. Now, if you are thinking that this Valentine's Day you might lay it low, you might just maybe cook a home meal and watch a movie together, you are not alone. Because a new study has revealed that this year, only 22% of us are planning on heading out for a romantic meal.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Oh, so when you teased this, you said only 20% of people... Don't go backwards on the fake stance I used to hook you here. But this is an even more... This is even more staggering figure. Yeah, it is. It's only just, I mean, a fifth of us, basically, are going to be heading out on your typical dinner, dressed up, maybe drinks, a meal,
Starting point is 00:41:57 and a walk along the broad boardwalk. Over a third of New Zealand's population will be in the grasp of a an insane cyclone. There is no better excuse than ever before to stay at home. That is not the excuse that is being used here.
Starting point is 00:42:15 It is the cost of living. Yeah. We simply cannot afford it. We can't afford doing flowers, rubs, dinner, drinks. A rub can be free. Yeah, a little massage.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Is Aaron not good at it? He's finding it in lately. He's finding it in. Does he not use the thumbs? Arbitrary sort of foot squeeze. Oh, right. Okay. Used to put a lot more into it. Oh, wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Really airing a lot today. Used to put a lot more into it. Oh, wow. Okay. It's all right. Yeah. Really airing a lot today. Yeah. But yeah, a lot of people are saying that they're staying in at home. They're going to have an at-home date night. Not meaning that you can't celebrate. Which is fine. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Do you think if you're a new, like, you only just started kind of going out in the last few months, you might go out or you might put some effort in? Whereas if you've been together 10 years or whatever. Yeah. Just have a nice bottle of wine and a dinner at home. We've actually never really celebrated it. It's a, what do they call them? It's a commercial holiday. Yeah, it's a silly holiday. We don't even get a day off.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Yeah, but you say- I don't like rubbing it in the faces of single people that really want to celebrate. Yeah, who are lonely and having their Galentine's Day. Oh, yeah. Pathetic. Well, there'll be a lot of that cancelled tomorrow with the way the weather is.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Oh, yeah, absolutely. So the way the top things that people are going to be doing in order to save money this Valentine's Day, have sex. Yeah, it's free. It's free most of the time. Although Connie's in lube. And babies. Paid services. Yeah,. It's free. It's free. Most of the time. Although Connie's in lube. And babies.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Paid services. Yeah, babies. Not free. No. Millions. And just cooking up a storm together. Yum. Romantic meal at home.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Yeah, nice. Whereas compared to last year, the stats are so different because that cost of living crisis hadn't quite hit. Right. It wasn't particularly cheap, but now it's worse than ever. And people have been locked up for a while,
Starting point is 00:44:08 so getting out was a novel. Yeah, we had to. We wanted to go out. But a lot of people are saying it's not a bad thing. Does that, though, if you're with somebody who is a strong Valentine's Day believer, how does that excuse wash, though? But that's the thing that they're saying.
Starting point is 00:44:23 It's not a bad thing because the spending of money is not the point of the day. It's about spending time with your chosen valentine. Yeah, but what if their love language is gifts? Those people. Those people. Yeah, those people. Good luck. I mean, I don't have an answer for that.
Starting point is 00:44:43 I don't know. Yeah, make them a macaroni picture frame. If you've got some old pasta in the... What are you, five? I'm just trying to think of ways to save money. What could you whip up at home? A glitter sign that says I love you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:57 No, not glitter. Glitter goes everywhere. You're just going to frustrate them because they're going to be finding glitter forever. Like a cutout, like an origami bird that says... What if they're scared of birds? A lot of people are scared of birds. I'm running out of ideas.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Diamond, diamonds. It's got to be diamonds. I see now you're spending a load of money. They're just in the ground. Diamonds. You could just like dig a hole. You might find one. Go hunting for diamonds. You'll find something. There's a hole. You might find one. You'll find something.
Starting point is 00:45:26 There's your ideas. There's your ideas of Valentine's Day. Easter is approaching, and if you've been in the supermarket recently, you'll know the hot cross buns are out, all the Easter eggs, all the bunnies. I mentioned that sometimes cream eggs at the moment, cheaper than actual eggs,
Starting point is 00:45:46 depending on what brand and what's in stock. But there is a TikTok that's blown up and has come with a warning. You would have seen these. They're in little packets. Cadbury mini eggs. They've got a hard shell in their speckle. Like a candy shell. They almost look like a little
Starting point is 00:46:07 duck egg or some little bantam quail egg. Like a mini egg. Bantam or a quail egg. Like a sparrow or a robin or something. But too small to be a quail. So they're like a hard candy outer and inside is solid milk chocolate.
Starting point is 00:46:24 I know them well. And the hack that's gone online is people are opening the packet and pouring them all into a bowl or a cup. And there's only in each, there's maybe like, I don't know, 10 or 15. And then you microwave them for 50 seconds. 50? Yeah. That's a long time.
Starting point is 00:46:42 How long would you do a cookie time for? 20. 20. I was going to say 20 or 10. Yeah That's a long time How long would you do A cookie time for 20 20 I was going to say 20 or 10 Because you only just want It just melting Let's settle on
Starting point is 00:46:50 15 15 15 Yeah but it also depends On your microwave Because I've got a Microwave that's 11 I think it's 1100
Starting point is 00:46:57 10 Or a 12 Might even be 1200 You've got a powerful microwave It must be nice Yeah I don't want to brag But I do have a powerful Panasonic microwave I think I might have a powerful Panasonic microwave.
Starting point is 00:47:05 I think I might have a wiki. What's the brand? Smeg. No, Smeg wouldn't have a wiki. Smeg wouldn't have a wiki. Smeg, it's built under. Oh, must be nice. Built under bench.
Starting point is 00:47:16 I've got a Samsung. It folds in half and the screen just stays the same. Oh my God, amazing. Just like pop it open. And I get to like, when other people are talking about the Apple microwave, I get to tell them we had that six months ago. Oh, wow. Okay, yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Good quality food. The warning of this mini egg hack for 50 seconds is that people are putting them in the microwave and some people's microbes are blowing up. Because there's not enough in the microwave. Yeah, you're just making the environment hot, but the little thing is not enough to take it. You'd probably be best if you want to try this at home, because apparently people are raving about it. I thought the warning initially when I saw this news story was that the chocolate inside was melting hot.
Starting point is 00:47:53 I thought it might have exploded, because the candy shell does seem to have an airtight grasp on that chocolate. Yeah, but apparently 50 seconds just leaves it absolutely runny and soft inside. What are you doing? Gooey. That's too much. Well, people are saying they'll never go back to normally eating these. Really?
Starting point is 00:48:13 Again, because they're so delicious. Well, now I want to try them. I mean, I guess it's like a hot M&M, right? It's like a giant hot M&M. I guess so. Because you couldn't microwave M&Ms, could you? You probably could. Well, M&Ms were designed, the candy coating was designed
Starting point is 00:48:25 so that World War II soldiers wouldn't have the chocolate melt in their hands. But then they get the colour rub off. Yeah. That backfired. Give away your position.

Starting point is 00:57:40 what happened? And they clarified it afterwards. And not the only name mix up this weekend. So embarrassed, but on the weekend we were obviously talking with some of our neighbours, you know, don't hesitate to call if you're in
Starting point is 00:57:55 trouble or you need anything. And Aaron was talking to our neighbour who we've been chatting to for at least a year, when we've lived there for a year and introduced ourselves to them very early on and And every time we see them, we're like, G'day Adrian.

He's going to have to change his name. I've learned it wrong. But anyway, I find it so embarrassing when people get your name wrong.
Starting point is 00:59:22 There's something about it that just, I'm so bad at it. That's why I don't often back myself to say the name. Thanks, mate. Yeah, but they know. They know. Hey, champ, buddy, anything like that.

Starting point is 01:00:21 I'm going to call you Jay. You can call me Jay. Jay. No, just my name's fine. Jay is also fine. Yeah, but just Jay for short. I can't say that. Yeah, but maybe you met someone and they just like you erranded just the first letter and then you just give them
Starting point is 01:00:38 a completely different name. Yeah. And you just haven't been able to correct someone or maybe you finally did correct them. Or were you somewhere where your name was announced and it was announced completely wrong? Like Sam Capaldi. Play.

Starting point is 01:03:29 Yeah. And it has led to the question that a hammer could... I've got a metal-friendly microwave. Should I microwave my hammer, do you reckon? Oh, maybe give it a miss. All right. At least with a bowl of noodles or a cup in there. Yeah, okay.

Starting point is 01:12:18 Please stop distracting me. Sorry. With one of my best friends, absolutely 10 out of 10 professional dumper. Front and back. Front and back, as it turns out. God damn him. Anyway, he's a married man.
Starting point is 01:12:31 Now he's happy and I love the guy to bits. He's got it all. The record that was broken was a javelin record of 104 metres at 0.80. Someone threw a javelin more than the length of a rugby field. Hang on. 104 metres. 104 metres and 80 centimetres. Get out. Those things are heavy too.
Starting point is 01:12:52 No, 104. 104. No, no, no. Yes. I'm right. 104 metres. Yeah. And then an additional 80 centimetres.
Starting point is 01:12:58 So just shy of 105 metres. Jeez. He threw it in 1984 at the Olympic Day of Athletics competition, so it wasn't at the Olympics. But wait, why does this have anything to do with the balls being forward? No, because you were talking about pole
Starting point is 01:13:15 vaulting, and the guy got caught on it, and then that made me think, have you tried the undies? So we're dropping the balls. Well, no, we wouldn't be dropping our balls if we were wearing those supportive undies that had an extra pouch in the front to hold them. We're dropping the balls from conversation. It's not linked at all to his horns.
Starting point is 01:13:30 I was waiting for the balls. This guy has balls. No, it was your talk about the pole vault. I talked about javelin. You talked about pole vault. You then talked about balls. Surprise, surprise. Then I talked a bit more about balls
Starting point is 01:13:42 and my mate's absolutely beautiful buttocks It got ball focused And then I dragged it back Okay Sorry to drag us back to the balls This is just about javelin And then you've dragged us back to the balls I will again drag us back to javelin
Starting point is 01:13:56 So he threw just shy of 105 metres The previous record would have been 99 metres So obliterated it And then they changed the javelin design. Oh, was it too easy? Was it light? The centre of gravity changed in the official Olympic... With the world?
Starting point is 01:14:16 No, they moved the weight of the javelin back because so many people would throw it and it would land flat. And of course, every time it landed flat, they'd throw it. It's like a fault. So they said if we move it forward, it's more likely to poke. Yeah. But it also means it drags it down a little bit quicker. Wait, so that's not fair.
Starting point is 01:14:31 You'll never break the record. Well, they also changed it because they said that the standard Olympic javelin throwing size was 105 metres. So he was so close to breaking it. And you know what's at the end of the javelin? What? The javelin throwing size was 105 metres. So he was so close to breaking it. And you know what's at the end of the javelin? What? The javelin throwing pitch.
Starting point is 01:14:50 What? The place they run around. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Track. Yeah, because they obviously can't be like, stop everything to do with the track because it's javelin time. They need them both to happen at the same time. You're sprinting for your life.
Starting point is 01:15:02 Yeah, or that just makes it more interesting. It would make you A little bit faster Wouldn't it A little bit more close To the original Athens based Yeah Exactly
Starting point is 01:15:09 But also that has happened There was a US athlete Called Elijah Godwin Who was running And got impaled By a javelin And it punctured his Like your sister
Starting point is 01:15:18 His left lung She got impaled By a fencing standard That we had for a slip and slide In the paddock And we were throwing it And it went straight Through her foot.
Starting point is 01:15:26 And we put a plaster on each side and said don't tell mum and dad. You shut your mouth. And then she went white and started vomiting uncontrollably. And you were like we better tell mum and dad. Yeah well they knew there was vomit everywhere at that stage. Yeah okay. They kind of caught on to the fact. So today's fact of the day
Starting point is 01:15:42 is that there is an Olympic record that was set in 1984 for throwing a javelin that people don't think will ever be beaten. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Let us cross now to the social media desk where a Chanelette Pyjamas chose to do something this weekend that I didn't know was even available. Yes. What did you do?
Starting point is 01:16:22 I went and watched the 4K 3D remastered Titanic movie to celebrate the 25th anniversary at Newmarket, at cinemas all around the country. Does it still sink at the end? It does. Well they could have fixed that and saved a lot of lives. And it was sold out. Really?
Starting point is 01:16:40 Yep, Newmarket yesterday packed cinema. Well I guess there's nothing else to do right with the weather? Absolutely nothing to do. While the ads were playing, the emergency alert went off on everyone's phones. The whole cinema was like... It was terrifying. What does that sound like when it goes off for 200 people? It was terrifying.
Starting point is 01:16:56 So was it a better experience than when you watched it in the... Yes. How old are you? So I wasn't alive when it came out. It came out in 97. Oh, neither. My gosh. Wow, did you just feel really wasn't alive when it came out. It came out in 97. My gosh. Wow, did you just feel really old then?
Starting point is 01:17:07 You did. I was born in 99. And so I've never seen it in a cinema before. That can't be right. You're an adult. Well, yeah. No, that can't be right. I refuse to believe it.
Starting point is 01:17:17 I refuse to believe it. 99 was the last decade. No, if you were born in 1999, you're still a baby. You're still a child. Yeah, if you were born in 1999, you're only like 10. Tops. 10 years old max. I did use a fake ID to get this job, yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 01:17:32 She had little cute cheeks. But yeah, the cinema was sold out and the craziest thing was there was so many kits and it's rated M and there's a lot of intense themes. It's very intense. There's steamy scenes, isn't there? There was.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Why, what happens? Now, I don't know if you know that Shannon, the chandelier pyjamas, Vaughn has still and refuses to watch Titanic. What's wrong with you? I know, it's such a good movie. Well, I know what happens. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:17:55 It's a classic. It's experience. Yeah, and the different relationships, the dynamics, you don't know that part of it. And you've got to watch it in 3D because the water splashes on you. It's quite intense. Do you know what I mean? It doesn't splash on intense. I'm living in Auckland at the moment. Water's
Starting point is 01:18:08 going to be splashing on me for the next few days. I don't have anything I need to splash. Do you know I read this yesterday. Titanic must be in the zeitgeist because of its anniversary that you know when he's when he takes Rose down. Spoiler alert. When he takes Rose underneath
Starting point is 01:18:24 with all the poor people. I think 25 years later there are no spoiler alerts. You know when he takes Rose down, spoiler alert, when he takes Rose underneath with all the poor people. I think 25 years later there are no spoiler alerts. You know when he takes Rose down and they go dancing? Yeah. With all the poor people? And there's that little kid? Yes. Do you know they filmed a scene where she died? And then they went, it's too much. No, that would have ruined it. It's this little
Starting point is 01:18:39 girl and like Jack, like Leonardo was like dancing and it's like a bit. She'd be too old for him now. Oh yeah, she'd be way too old. It was so beautiful. I sobbed so much. Like I was trying to hold it in and you know when you're ugly crying and you're like. And then this kid
Starting point is 01:18:56 turned around and she started laughing at me. And then she's like, for me that girl's crying. How many times would you say you've seen Titanic before this? I watch it yearly. Oh, it's an annual thing. It's an annual thing. So I'd say I've probably seen it 10 times. Do you watch it on the anniversary of the sinking?
Starting point is 01:19:12 Or just whenever? Do you know, it was April 14th. I was about to say April 14th. Yeah, 1912. We're a month away. Wow. No, I love the movie. You have to go see it in 3D. It's the Titanic's 25th anniversary. So Leonardo DiCaprio's got to break up with the
Starting point is 01:19:27 Titanic now too. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. I didn't know anything about this until Paris, Paris Hilton, is that her name? Was having a baby and then she was talking about designer babies.
Starting point is 01:19:46 Do you remember that term coming into play? Designer babies? It's been around a while, right? It's been around a while where you can do polygenic screenings and have a look inside the baby or the little embryo
Starting point is 01:20:02 and moderate it. Kind of pick what you want. Modify it and pick things and get rid of things that you don't want. And this started from probably a good place, which is like removing. I was going to say genetic disorders and stuff like that. Genetic disorders. That'd be a great idea.
Starting point is 01:20:19 Yeah, I have a friend who's pregnant at the moment and she did this through the magic of science, which is she had a genetic thing that was passed on to her and she suffered from it and then she removed it. Wow. That's fascinating, isn't it? Now that baby won't get that thing. But now it's gone a bit too far because you can pick like, you know, a good footballer
Starting point is 01:20:37 and someone that's good at art. So this is the thing that like with the ever growing, that you could choose a smart child or, yes, someone who would be physically more at an advantage or more likely to get into, like, good colleges. But can you actually, is a lot of that taught, though? Like, skills and... I think a lot of it is, but if you have a pre, what's it called? Like, a predisposition to being good at things.
Starting point is 01:21:07 It was that song. It's helpful. Predisposition. Wow. He also had a bit of a struggle getting those high notes before they opened for the Kings of Leon. Did he? Sweet disposition.
Starting point is 01:21:20 Did he? Temper trap struggle. So with all of this in mind, they did a study about whether or not people would actually be into this because it feels a little... Yeah, like you're just a bit... I don't know. I don't have a baby. So maybe, you know, this would help
Starting point is 01:21:35 remove a lot of worries. But one in three Americans, I find you, would be open to a genetically enhanced child. You'd also be picking the sex of the baby too, right? Yeah, you can do that. Yeah. So you can just go, I want to make sure that it's female,
Starting point is 01:21:51 leggy. Yeah. Leggy. Leggy. Yeah. Intelligent. Can control the weather. A witch.
Starting point is 01:21:58 Yeah. Superpowers. Yeah. And good at baking. Metal claws that extend from its fists when it clenches it in time of thing. Yeah. Advanced, you know, super healing.
Starting point is 01:22:10 What are we doing? Are we doing X-Men? Is that what we're all doing? I think we're all doing, yeah. We're all doing an X-Men. Yeah. Okay, cool. You just got plain old normal babies.
