Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe.
Drive through and get a cup of barista-made McCafe coffee on the go.
Hayley at Nationals today, marching Nationals.
Yeah, but as you were hearing the podcast, she was not here.
She won't be here?
She is not here.
Not here?
She's not here.
Yeah, I think we did alright, didn't we? I think we did okay.'s not here. Yeah, I think we did all right, didn't we?
I think we did okay.
I think we did all right.
I think we did okay.
We got there.
We got there.
There will be a special segment of the podcast today
where we will read out some more messages
from one of our phone-in topics of
who did you hook up with that you shouldn't have.
Oh, yeah, because some prison guards in Wales
have been hooking up with the prisoners.
Yes.
There were some that we couldn't read out the prisoners. Yes. Say no more though.
There were some that we couldn't read out, some juicy ones.
Yes, some real.
And some sicko ones.
Some sickos.
Some real sickos out there.
Also, you'll hear in the podcast a brief chat about Antarctica.
Yes.
And how I consider six months there in exchange for one of their Scott-based Antarctic jackets.
I have since found the Extreme Cold Weather Antarctica jacket by New Zealand
brand Earthsea Sky.
Is that a New Zealand brand?
I don't think it is.
Yeah, New Zealand made.
It says up in the corner.
Yeah.
Oh, I had no idea.
Extreme Cold Weather Down jacket as designed for and supplied to Antarctica,
New Zealand, and Australian Antarctic Division. there extreme cold weather down jacket as designed for and supplied to antarctica new zealand and
australian antarctica division each jacket is made up of 106 individually cut patterns takes
eight hours for an experienced machinist to make it utilizes nine different fabrics specialized
fabric sourced from canada i'm guessing that's the goose yeah japan that's the whale. Taiwan.
Don't know.
And Italy, the pasta.
So if you are serious about staying warm, this is the jacket for you.
Right.
$1,599 New Zealand dollars for an orange men's extra large jacket.
Goodness me.
Mama Mia.
That's a lot of jackets.
It'll be the braised pork rice from Taiwan. That'll be what it is. That's what's in the jacket there. That'll a lot of jacket. It'll be the braised pork rice from Taiwan.
It'll be what it is.
That's what's in the jacket there.
It'll be what it was. I've just looked up foods from Taiwan.
And as you'll hear me mention in the podcast today,
I stand with Taiwan.
He's saying it online now.
Again, I'm saying it online.
I don't want to have to read out the John Cena message, but...
Yeah, don't read out the John Cena message.
Wait, so you don't stand with Taiwan.
I, um...
You walk a fine line.
I walk a fine line.
You walk a fine line.
I've got a big trade deal with China.
One of my biggest exports.
So I don't want to rock the boat.
You don't want to rock the boat, yeah.
I don't want to upset Chairman G...
G...
Ping.
Ping. I thought there was a syllable... G.G. Ping. No, G.G. Ping. G Ping Ping
I thought there was a
Syllable
No
G G Ping
G G Ping
G G Ping
Chinese
Yeah
Is he a president?
Or is he a
Xi Jinping
Xi Jinping
Right
Yes
So it's Xi Jinping
I don't want to upset him
Now I have to
You've upset him
Because you've stood by Taiwan and you got his name wrong.
Well, actually, Vaughn, I would like to just make a quick statement.
My friend John Cena has given me a message to read.
I've made one mistake.
Yeah.
I must say right now, very important.
I love and respect Chinese people.
I'm very sorry for my mistake.
I apologize.
I believe you said that part in Chinese.
Would you like to?
Didn't think so. Big Taiwan guy over here. I apologize. I believe you said that part in Chinese. Would you like to? Didn't think so.
Big Taiwan guy over here.
Big Taiwan guy.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley.
Thank you, Sam.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley.
Mine is Hayley today, who's at Marching Nationals at the camp.
She's at the motel in Rolleston.
Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup.
That's not,
I don't know,
are they up at the crack of dawn
doing the marching?
Up and down,
up and down, up and down.
I don't know,
I probably need a sleep in
after all of yesterday's marching.
Well, I thought yesterday
was primarily an admin day.
Oh, travel.
Was it travel?
Travel and admin.
Right.
Yeah.
Travel and admin.
Sounds like a lot of hard work,
especially on a Wednesday and a weekday.
She might be having a sleep in.
That B-I-T-C-H might be having a sleep in.
Unbelievable.
What if she's having a sleep in?
Not okay.
Very rude.
Let's message her and wake her up.
Yes, let's do that.
But the top six today is coming up.
The top six Haley's that aren't currently in the room.
Okay, right, yeah.
It would be time for a definitive ranking of Haley's that are not here.
Do you have six that you can just...
Absolutely.
There's been quite a few Haley's over time itself.
I just thought of one.
I didn't want to ruin your list though.
I'll run it past you
and see if it's on the list.
See if it's on the list.
Deal with deodorant soon for silly little Paul
because you quite often have deodorant
marks. It's only on the right hand side.
Your left. My left, yeah.
I get it. I don't know why. Maybe that shoulder
doesn't go up or goes up too much.
No, it's because you put your deodorant on and then you put your T-shirt on.
Yeah, but it never comes, the marks are never on the other side.
Yeah.
See, I'm always T-shirt on, deodorant.
Yes.
After.
Right.
But you spray.
I spray.
Mine's a speed stick.
Oh, see, that's why it's going all over the yuck.
Yeah.
Well, some real etiquette questions soon because it's a bit of a double whammy for Silly Little Pole today.
Because do you put your deodorant on before or after clothes?
And then if the clothes are on when you put it on,
where do you go through?
Because Hayley...
The neck hole or up under the top?
Yeah, when we were talking about this yesterday,
Hayley goes through the neck hole.
Which stretches your neck.
Which stretches your neck hole.
Stretches your neck hole. Stretches your neck hole.
Well, we'll see how the country voted soon
with Silly Little Pole, but next on the show,
there's something that half of adults
think is only for special occasions.
The nice cutlery.
The nice plates.
The nice plates.
No, it's not that.
Grandma's plates.
Something bigger than that.
It's next.
Play. ZM's Flet bigger than that. It's next. Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, in a survey, a study has looked into milestone travel.
What is milestone travel?
Like special occasion travel.
Like, you know, like anniversaries.
Okay.
Birthdays.
Yep.
Special occasions.
And it's found that half of adults think vacations, holidays,
should be reserved only for special occasions.
What?
Not just because you've got two weeks off and it's July?
Yeah.
But that's the best time to take a vacation.
Because you can have two weeks of vacation.
Yeah.
Or like a good week and a bit of time to settle in and...
Ah, yeah.
So those who travel to celebrate special occasions,
also it turns out are happier and more successful than those that don't.
So they looked at thoughts on milestone travel.
48% are save travel for special occasions only.
Another 40% think you should travel as much as you can.
So it's a bit 50-50.
That would be... Yeah. as you can. So it's a bit 50-50.
That would be, yeah, if you can afford to.
Well, that's also, it's a luxury, isn't it?
Absolutely.
But then it doesn't mean, it's not saying that your travel has to be to overseas.
It could just be, I don't know, a nice little batch somewhere.
Sounds nice.
Somewhere.
Quiet, nice weather.
Yeah, quiet, nice weather.
Off-season, but nice weather.
A glamp maybe with one of those tubs that overlooks a vista.
Oh, the tub,
the wood-fired tub?
Wood-fired.
No, no, no,
I'm against a wood-fired tub.
It's a slow cook.
You're slowly cooking yourself.
You're like stewing yourself.
Yeah.
But it's romantic.
You get the fire,
you get to smell the fire,
and then you get to sit in it,
and the copper pipe's
going through the fire,
and then it goes back
into the tub,
it warms up.
When it gets too hot,
don't you just block it?
Because it's convection, right?
I'm not trusting
a wood-fired bath.
Right.
I would trust that.
You're skewing yourself.
I don't like those ones
where the fire's
underneath the bath.
Well, that's what
I was imagining, yeah.
No, no, no, no.
It's a pipe and it goes out
and there's little
drum situations
so you've got the
beautiful brazier.
Right.
You've got the fire you can look at.
You're not putting it straight under because then you are.
That's like a cartoon of the cannibals cooking the explorers.
Was it Gavin Larson?
The far side had a view.
Gavin Larson?
That's not right.
He was a cricketer, wasn't he?
Gary Larson.
Gary Larson.
Gary Larson. Gary Larson.
Gary Larson.
Yes, with the old ladies with the big funny glasses.
Yeah, and the cows doing things that cows don't do.
Yes.
Was he the one that was cancelled?
No, that was Dilbert.
The Dilbert creator, who got cancelled and then people... Doubled down.
He doubled down because then all the white supremacists were like,
well, now we like Dilbert.
And he's like, well, now I've got to pivot to my new crowd.
And I think Dilbert got rid of the company's hiring policy for diversity.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was a...
Not good.
A misstep.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. A silly little pole
born out of the fact that
I often, if I wear a pure black t-shirt,
you might see a little deodorant.
It's weird. It's hard to describe. It a little deodorant mark. It's weird.
It's hard to describe.
It's like a little wrinkle.
It's like where the shirt was wrinkled and I pulled it over and it got paint on it.
Yeah.
And then you unwrinkle it and it's like that.
Do you know, when you go down to tie up your shoelaces or...
Yeah.
And your armpit goes over your knee, you get it on your knees sometime on your jeans.
Oh.
If you haven't put a t-shirt on. Oh!
I'm often not in jeans putting on shoes
without a t-shirt already on.
Or like the t-shirt slides up and
it gets a bit of the white powdery stuff on it.
Well, when do you put your deodorant
on? Before getting dressed
or after?
I cannot believe I'm in the
minority. 72% before getting dressed.
Are they, yeah.
Are they letting it dry?
Maybe there's a dry.
Because, you know, roll-on doesn't dry straight away,
whereas spray at least does.
Spray dries pretty quick, and speed sticks,
I don't even know how to describe what they do.
Just a damp, a dampness.
They dry pretty quick.
72% before getting dressed, 28% after. You're big on the speed stick. what they do. Just a dampness. They dry pretty quick.
72% before getting dressed.
28% after.
You're big on the speed stick.
Love a speed stick.
You've just gone to that.
America loves a speed stick.
Yeah.
Because I remember having to buy deodorant once in America and it was speed stick everything.
Speed stick everywhere.
And I was like, no, no, no, no, no.
Not about it.
I'm spray.
Spray.
They had a thing with the spray though, didn't they?
Wasn't something in the spray. It's like the talcum powder thing. We've been using it for years and we found out something bad for it. I'm spray. Spray. They had a thing with the spray there, didn't they? Wasn't something in the spray.
It's like the talcum powder thing.
We've been using it for years
and we found out something bad for it.
Bad for us was in it,
but it was like how Americans did it.
Well, then we asked to follow up
and a double back-to-back silly little poll.
If you go after putting on clothes,
which way do you go in?
Neck hole?
For the deodorant, yep.
Or arm hole?
Or under?
I would go up and under.
I'd go up and under.
But then the ladies at work said
then you risk the boob popping out.
But I'm like,
isn't this the sanctity of your own home?
No, Jared said you risk a boob.
He said the boob street.
Jared said you'd pop a boob.
Well, he speaks with ladies.
You're not going to pop a boob, though, are you?
No.
What are you thinking, Jared, that they just pop out?
I don't know.
I just assumed they kind of flopped out.
No.
Because you can go up here, up the side.
Yeah, but look how your arm is raised.
I've got small boobs.
Don't shame my boobs.
What if you've got a gaping singlet?
I'd go neck.
Always.
Yeah, but ladies also have a looser neck, don't they?
But I can't believe it.
You don't want to go through your neck, do you?
You'd just constantly be stretching it.
No, but they say they're not wearing whatever this neck is.
Is it a crew neck t-shirt?
Like a plunging...
You put it on and then you let it dry and then you pop your top on.
Yeah, but who's got time for that?
Who's got time for that?
Me.
Every day.
I just can't believe people put on deodorant before getting dressed.
Yeah.
The majority of people.
That blows my mind.
Alicia messaged saying, I don't know whether or not to tick before or after dress because it's after bra before shirt.
That's before dress.
Yeah.
Because the bra doesn't affect the area.
No.
It doesn't come in contact with the area.
Leanne says, I bet it's all the blokes who selected after.
I don't know why she would say it was all blokes who selected after.
Maybe she's got an issue with the breast getting in the way.
Maybe they're like Jared.
Common issue.
During, says Tiana, when you have your top half on, stop and put it on.
Only because I forgot when I didn't have my top half on, stop and put it on. Only because I forgot
when I didn't have my top on
and I'm halfway on.
You might as well carry on
and put the shirt fully on, Tiana.
And then go back for a deodorant.
No point.
The missus goes from the bottom
to put a deodorant on,
says Michael.
And I think that counts as a red flag.
From the bottom.
She goes up under the waist.
Now that's how I do it.
You'd go up.
That's a long way to travel.
Yeah, but it's less stress on the T-shirt.
How do you know your can's facing the right way?
Do you check your...
I know my can.
You know your can.
I know my can.
It's got a little indent, so I know I'm facing the right way.
And you create a cavern of sorts and then straight up onto it.
See, I'd get more on the shirt there, I think.
Nah.
I'm pretty good at it.
I'm putting it on my forehand.
Good aim.
And I'll tell you what,
those Lynx Africa cans.
Oh, perfect.
They're the perfect size.
Nice, short little stubby can.
Yeah, beautiful.
Beautiful.
Molly says,
I would rather have a stretched arm hole
than a neck hole.
And I put it on afterwards
because I don't want the white stuff
to get in my clothes because then you look dirty when you're fresh and clean. But then you end up with somewhat of a wizard's sleeve, don't want the white stuff to get in my clothes
because then you look dirty when you're fresh and clean.
But then you end up with somewhat of a wizard's sleeve, don't you?
It's all kind of hanging there.
I don't even know if I could get it in there.
You've got like a raglan tee on.
Well, yeah, this is it.
So that's sort of a half sleeve.
You can't go up a raglan tee hole.
I don't know if I can get up an ordinary tee, but that's probably just the bulging biceps.
It is, yes.
Huge arms.
Common problem for you.
Yeah, big problem.
Up and under the shirt, says Erin.
I'm not a goddamn animal.
A goddamn animal, she says.
Neither.
I go from the bottom of the shirt, says Christine.
If I get deodorant on the shirt, I get deodorant on the shirt if I put on deodorant before getting dressed.
And if you put it on through the arm or neck, it stretches the shirt hole.
Go from the torso if you can.
Life advice from Christine.
Yeah, just ride up the T-shirt a little bit.
Yep.
And then up and under.
Yeah.
It depends on the shirt, but normally through the neck.
But also I put my deodorant on at night before bed.
Now, controversial.
Yeah, okay.
Some people do chuck on some deodorant before bed.
I chuck it on, I'll shower before bed or in the evening,
chuck on deodorant, and then in the morning I'll just have a little top up.
Yeah.
Which is why I always smell so delicious.
Again, Lynx Africa.
Never too old to use Lynx Africa.
Does Lynx still have the three original scents?
Which I believe were Musk, orient, and voodoo.
Was it voodoo?
I don't know.
I thought voodoo came with Africa.
I don't use links.
You know I'm a big Nivea man.
Yeah.
Nivea blue.
Kids, the 1990s was wild when we started getting these deodorants.
Because it had just been primarily old spice.
Yeah.
To that day for men.
And then in the 90s we had a real revolution.
Yeah.
And links had three original scents.
Mask, Orient, and Aqua.
Oh, I don't know.
It gave me raging scabs under my armpits.
Because I've got to use deodorant that doesn't have alcohol in it.
Right, sensitive skin.
Amber.
No, I don't know if it was called Amber.
And then they've had some, they've had some
flavours recently, Lynx Africa
that were out the gate.
Oh, like chocolate pudding. Yeah, like
Lynx chocolate pudding. Lynx
chocolate pudding. No, no, no, no, no.
Amber musk and spice
in 1985. Says
Lynx. That's from the official Unilever page.
Yeah. I do apologise.
Originally launched in 85, yeah. 85! And it's called Axe body spray in America. That's from the official Unilever page. Yeah. I do apologize. Originally launched in 85, yeah.
85.
And it's called Axe Body Spray in America.
That's right.
It was called Axe overseas.
Hold on.
I'm just going to look up the 90s.
Java came in 1990.
Marine Orient.
Yep.
Musk.
Africa was in 1995.
Okay.
It was 1995 okay it was 1995
and stinky
teenage boys
all of a sudden
took on a brand
new scent
ladies and gentlemen
and it smelled like
the continent
of Africa
it was called
Kilo
in North America
and native
in Brazil
ah okay
now I'm
just going to spend
the next how long have we got?
Because I'm going to do a little deep dive into my own personal satisfaction.
Into the history of Lynx.
The history of Lynx products on the Wikipedia page.
Voodoo was 1999.
Was it?
Okay.
Voodoo was 1999.
Yes.
I'll leave you in that deep dive.
Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Well, this is out of the US, the Institute of Customer Service.
They surveyed members and workers,
and more than half have said that they experienced increased hostility from customers.
This is in the hospo industry.
Oh, no.
And it's only been getting worse, they say, since the pandemic. So we just need to chill out. Yeah, no. And it's only been getting worse, they say, since the pandemic.
So we just need to chill out.
Yeah, okay. I guess
people are angry things cost more and they
take it out on the person that has nothing to do with it.
Yeah, that's not their fault, but
go on, I'll hear you out.
Why? Why?
Why would anybody yell at the person?
I know, but
you're supposed to have a nice relaxing dinner.
Don't yell at the person who's bringing you the dinner.
Yeah, hang on.
I'm in complete agreeance.
Agreement.
Agreance?
Agreance.
Is that a word?
You find yourself completely agreeing with you.
That is the way.
Okay.
I've never been one to misdirect anger at myself.
What if somebody
Overcooked your steak
I would hit the roof
Here we go
But that's
No I wouldn't
But I wouldn't blame
The wait staff
I'd say
Oh this is
This is too cooked
Yeah
You wouldn't be a dick about it
This is too cooked
But I find
That doesn't happen
No
But then I would say
It wouldn't just be hospital
It would be across the board
Everything Where you deal with people Yeah I just think Everyone's a lot happen. No. But I would say it wouldn't just be hospital, it would be across the board, everything
where you deal with people.
I just think everyone's a lot, they're very
stressed at the moment with the way
the world is and the cost of living and everything
that people just are short at
the moment. Who can we
take this out on? I feel like
we've got to be able to release
it to somebody.
It's been misdirected a lot since the pandemic
But I think, what a job
Yeah
To put your hand up and say you can take it out on me
It's going to cost you this much
What if you took it out like you could MMA
You could take up MMA
Oh, no, I like my ears too much
They've always got mangled ears like rugby players
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the cauliflower ears like rugby players. Yeah, the cauliflower ears.
And plus I don't like to be hit.
Running. Take it out on exercise.
Oh, I couldn't.
What about
drinking?
What about a healthy
coping function?
Exercise, that's right, but it's hard to
when you're stressed to
think that that's a priority to do that.
Okay.
So don't yell at hospitality staff.
Don't yell at anybody.
Don't yell at anyone.
No one.
We do need someone, don't we?
Parking wardens?
No, because they're just doing their job.
Okay.
Okay.
Traffic lights. Anemone objects. What about yelling at traffic lights? No, because then you doing their job. Okay. Okay. Traffic lights.
Anemone objects.
What about yelling at traffic lights?
No, because then you're on a slippery slope.
If you're yelling at inanimate objects, you know.
In your car, yelling to nothing.
But then you could get, you know, a nice court-appointed two-week lie down.
Okay.
You know, he needed a lie down, he needed to chill out.
Yeah, it's a little time out.
Yeah, he was yelling
At the trees again
He was screaming at the trees
For not producing enough oxygen
And that
And then yeah
Well there's a slippery slope
Isn't there
It's been a
Study of
Americans
About their sleep habits
And what they'd be willing to do to get a better night's sleep.
And just under half of them,
49% said they would be willing to try sleeping in separate beds
if it meant getting a better night's sleep.
Now, that might be, at the moment, you might be thinking,
no, not me, but that's why parents used to say, no, not me.
And now, snoring, they're just like, you know what?
I'll go sleep in the spare room.
It's not worth it.
Yeah.
I'll try to get some sleep.
And it's kind of become a bit more normalized over, I feel like, the last few years.
Like, even couples that are newly married do this.
Yeah.
And they're happy to admit.
One might like a soft bed, one might like a hard bed.
Yeah.
Well, you worked for Goldilocks and the three beers involved in Goldilocks, Mama and Beer
and Papa Beer, they had separate beds but they still had
baby bear and apparently went for a walk every morning
while their porridge cooled. And you get
a good night's sleep because you've got the body pillow.
Yeah, I do. And so that kind of... A barrier.
Yeah, it's a barrier. A barrier.
For pets and everyone.
So then it looked into
what disrupts sleep for couples, like what would
put them into different beds. Okay.
So stealing the covers was big. Snoring was the biggest. into what disrupts sleep for couples like what would put them into different beds okay so stealing
the covers was big snoring was the biggest snow i know if you are with the snorer they said that is
by far and away the biggest problem because even earplugs you'd still hear it yeah because i'm an
earplug sleeper oh no you still hear the vibrato yeah and yeah there's nothing you can do about
that is here it's just separate rooms the operation the don't you shut something in your Vibrato. Yeah. And there's nothing you can do about that, is there?
It's just separate rooms.
The operation, the thing you shut something in your nose.
You'd try it all, surely.
So stealing the covers, tossing and turning, snoring.
These are the two that I can't believe people do.
Sleep with the TV on.
What?
Like as for background noise, like white noise. Sleep with the TV on. What? Like, as for background noise.
Like, white noise.
Like a white noise machine.
Untune it.
But it would be like talking.
Yeah.
And sleeping with the lights on.
Oh, no.
It doesn't say how many lights, but it says that the lights are on.
It's something people do.
Yeah.
That would put them into different beds.
Stealing the cupboards thing is interesting because are the duvets too small?
Because, you know, if you've got a queen bed,
you've got to have a king duvet.
Correct.
And people don't know that.
You always size up.
Yeah, you size up.
Because I didn't know that for, like,
I feel like I only knew that for, like, the last 10 years.
Right.
You always size up.
Whereas if I always had a queen bed,
I'd always get a queen duvet.
And then you'd lose the duvet.
The good thing is about an extra big duvet as well
is that you just flick the sheet below.
You don't really have to put effort into making the beard
because it hangs a bit lower and it covers everything.
It covers the fact you haven't tucked in the sheets.
But then the sheets are a little on the skew.
The downside of that is the next size up
is always a bit more expensive.
Yeah. But it's worth it
because you don't get the steelage.
Yeah. And there's a bit of extra
real estate. You could also buy a bigger
top sheet too if that was
a problem with sheet stealing.
You could do it. Get the king on a queen.
But then if you go too big and the heavy duvet slips
down through the duvet cover and you need to get
yourself some duvet domes. Duvet domes.
Yes. Duvet domes. We talked about that. You iron it onto the duvet and then iron it onto the duvet cover and you need to get yourself some duvet domes. Duvet domes. Yes. Duvet domes.
We talked about that.
You iron it onto the duvet and then iron it onto the duvet cover.
And then when you put it on, you click them together.
And it sounds like the simplest invention of all time.
And a lady sent us some.
And they are the most magical things in the world.
Yeah.
The duvet does not slip anymore, my friends.
This sounds like an infomercial.
It's an unpaid endorsement.
And you don't even know they're there.
You might think, oh, but what if I feel them?
You won't feel them.
You won't feel them.
You won't feel them.
I'm the princess and the pea baby.
I can feel anything in the bed.
You won't feel them.
And you won't be dealing with a slimy duvet
and then, you know, put a pillow over your partner's face
because they're snoring so loud
and you'll have a great night's sleep.
Trust me.
Also, the Europeans have two separate duvets
on a bed.
Yeah.
That's another way to do it
if your partner's always
stealing your duvet.
Yeah,
and they drink wine for lunch
and then have a sleep.
They've got it sorted.
They have nailed life.
They've got it sorted.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
From the self-driving ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Hello, today's top six are top six Hayleys that aren't currently in the room.
You'd think there's a sitter for number one, isn't there?
Well, she's not here, so...
Maybe.
She's not in the room.
Top six Hayleys that aren't currently in the room.
Power play by you.
Someone might think there's tension.
There's no tension.
This was just an easy option.
I saw her as a sitter for a day that she was away.
Top six Haley's that aren't currently in the room.
Number six on the list, actress Haley Steinfeld.
Oh, yeah, okay. From 2010's True Grit through to 2020-something's Hawkeye TV series.
Feels like you're already scraping the bottom
of the barrel.
Hayley Steinfeld.
Big Hayley Steinfeld fan.
Number five on the list
of the top six Hayleys
that aren't currently
in the room.
Hayley Williams
from Paramore.
Oh yeah.
You'd know if she's in the room
because of her bright
orange hair.
Yeah.
Still has bright
orange hair?
I am not sure.
I don't imagine so.
The photo I saw
when I googled
Hayley Williams
from Paramore still has brother.
Oh, yes, she does. She still does.
Her hair's got to be on the verge of falling out after mistreating it for that many years.
Wouldn't you think so?
You hear about people that are just constantly bleaching and colouring.
They need to take a break and let the hair rejuvenate.
I think she took a break, and then now that they're touring again.
She's back on the orange clothes.
Oh, so she feels the pressure to have the orange hair, do you think?
I think she's just reclaiming it back, you know?
And then people wouldn't know who was singing for Paramore anymore
if they just had ordinary brunette.
Or just had brown hair, yeah.
Just a brunette.
Yeah, goodness.
Number four on the list of the top six Haley's that aren't currently in the room,
it's the Haley that I bet at SingStar in 2004, Haley Westenra.
You love that.
Never forget.
You'll never forget.
Never forget.
It's hardly...
What?
The judge of singing, is it?
Well, isn't it?
It was the absolute peak of technology that we had at the time.
Yeah.
And I bet Hayley Westernra at SingStar.
I don't remember what song.
It was either Jamelia Superstar or Maroon 5 This Love.
One of your original SingStar bangers.
Yeah.
Maroon, nobody does Maroon 5 This Love like you. No one. star bangers. Yeah. Maroon, nobody does Maroon 5
This Love like you.
No one.
Not even Adam Levine.
Try as he might.
Yeah.
Try as he might.
He can't.
Number three on the list
of the top six Haley's
that aren't currently
in the room,
Haley Joel Osment.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That's right.
I remember him.
He would see dead people.
Yeah, in that movie.
From the 60s.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And other stuff since.
What other stuff?
I don't know what he's done lately.
I saw him pop up somewhere.
Didn't he do a cameo in one of those, like, Law & Order or SVU or CSI shows?
And everyone was like, oh, my goodness.
He doesn't look like a seven-year-old kid anymore.
Why doesn't this man look like a child anymore?
Recently,
oh, she's been pretty quiet.
The Boys.
He had a cameo in The Boys.
Daddy.
Do we know this?
Great show.
It's written in here that he had a cameo in The Boys.
Okay.
He's been on the Eric Andre show.
Somebody else,
the Mysterious Benedict Society.
So he's kind of...
Oh, look, family guy, American dad. Somebody who's The Mysterious Benedict Society So he's kind of Oh look
Family Guy
American Dad
He was the voice
Of Casey Jones
And Rise of the Ten
Ninja Turtles
Okay so he's
Still working
He's still working
He's got a whole lot of work
Okay good
Okay good for you
Hayley Joel Osment
But he's not in the room
Number two on the list
Of the top six
Hayleys that aren't
Currently in the room
Hayley Beaver She's not in the room Not inaley's that aren't currently in the room. Haley Beaver.
She's not in the room. Not in the room. She wanted to be in the
room, but we were like, Tam Selena.
Yeah. Your bullying
days are over. Mean
girls are cancelled. That's all we said.
That's all we said. Absolutely. And number one
on the top six list of Haley's that
aren't currently in the room. Haley's Comet.
Not in the room. Not in the room.
Can confirm. Not in the room. And for those kids that went around in the room. Not in the room. Can confirm.
Not in the room.
And for those kids that weren't around in the 80s slash 90s.
Dude, this is maybe why Gen Z is such a bunch of wimps.
They weren't around to see Hayley's Comet.
They didn't have to stay up till 11 o'clock at night.
For the once in every 28 year comet? No, no, no, no, no, no.
84.
84 years.
84.
Wow.
And we got to see it.
Hayley's Comet. Halley's Comet.
Halley's Comet.
Yeah.
75 to 79 years.
Next predicted perihelion.
I don't know what that means.
Time that we see it?
28th of July, 2061.
Oh, my God.
So the poor Gen Zs will probably be dead by then.
Well, they could be.
Because of the upcoming war and famine and global change.
They will have died of being offended.
What killed them?
They were very offended.
They were offended.
This sucks.
You didn't get to see the comet.
It was 1986, and it'll be back again in 2061.
It's got a hell of an orbit on this thing. You should see the comet. It was 1986 and it'll be back again in 2061. It's got a
hell of an orbit on this thing. You should see the
orbit on this thing. Yeah, look at some photos.
Look at some photos.
Yeah, Google it. Google it.
Hell of a time. Hell of a time to be alive.
Hell of a time to be alive. That's a nice
episode.
Chris Thompson
at the Academy Awards
was offered, I'm guessing, I could go two ways.
The food they take around on the little trays
could be really, really good or really bad
because people aren't really eating
because they're in their nice dresses and suits and stuff.
But it's the Oscars and celebs.
I feel like the food would always be amazing.
The after party, there was a photo of Beyonce with,
who was she sitting next to?
And they were eating pizza out of a box.
And I was like, nice to know.
They're just like us when they're drunk.
Yeah, yeah.
They're drunk.
They'll eat a cold pizza out of a box.
They're like, I'm just playing in the box.
I'll take it with me.
Eating it when you get home.
When you're lingering in the kitchen and you're not sitting down
because you know if you sit down, you're not getting back up.
So you lean on the bench.
And it's a real, a lot of weights on this arm.
You're at a real angle and you've just got to, you've got to find that perfect button
every now and then.
You'll change to the other arm, but you're not sitting down because if you sit down,
you're not getting back up.
And at the same time, the hand that isn't leaning on the bench is just shoveling food
in your mouth hole.
Yep.
Yep.
That.
You've got to get as much in because you're about to go to sleep
for a long time.
Yeah.
That, but it's Beyonce.
But Tessa Thompson, actress.
I had to Google and I recognised her.
She's been in a million things.
He's been in Thor.
She's been in Thor.
She's been in The Avengers.
That's a big one.
It's just so many things.
Heaps of things all over the place.
39 years old.
Yeah.
Probably most famously because she was photographed
in that like three-way patch with Red Aura and Taika Waititi
when they were filming.
Sorry, I can't hear you.
What?
I'm whispering into a microphone.
She was that member that three-way patch?
Was it Taika Waititi?
Red Aura.
Yes.
Yeah, okay.
She was the third member.
You record that quite quickly.
Very, very quickly. Yeah. And in great, in third member. You record that quite quickly. Very, very quickly.
Yeah.
And in great visual detail.
In great visual detail.
Even though I only ever saw a blurry paparazzi photo of it,
I feel like I saw it in person.
Yeah, right.
But she was asked if she wanted a burger,
and she said, oh, I've never had one of those.
A burger.
Where were the burgers from?
Does it say where the burgers were from,
or were they like catering?
In-N-Out Burgers.
In-N-Out was the official sponsor of burgers.
Right.
But does she mean I've never had an In-N-Out burger
or does she mean I've never had a burger?
People took it as her saying I've never had a burger.
Who's never had a burger?
They're the best.
Like even like you say
If you're vegetarian
You can make a vegetarian burger
Yeah
You can
You can make
If you're keto
You can make a keto burger
And like growing up
If you're paleo
You can make a paleo burger
Growing up
You'd have a burger right?
Yeah
So
They said to her
Are you vegetarian?
Yeah
And she said
No
I'm not
I eat other things.
I've just never had a hamburger.
I only recently tried eggs for the first time.
What?
What?
How do you?
She was unimpressed with the egg.
I've never had one of those, and I don't think they're that great.
Has she had scrambled eggs?
Although American eggs are not as good.
You know when you get food in America, omelets are always there.
She does love potatoes. And they're famously versatileelettes are always there. She does love potatoes.
And they're famously versatile.
She is not wrong.
She's not wrong.
Is she a fussy child or was she?
Sounds fussy.
But then, never had a burger.
Have you never had a hamburger?
Never had a burger.
Or a burger.
Or even eggs.
Yeah.
An egg burger.
Wait till she finds out a breakfast egg burger.
It's going to blow her mind.
The best.
So she's never had a burger.
I cannot think of something I've never had because if it's food,
I'll put it in my mouth.
Yes, same.
And then I'll mull it around with my teeth and my tongue,
and then I'll put it down my throat because that's how food works.
But some people are famously fussy, and they grow up,
they move into adulthood, and they just continue being fussy.
Like some people.
We grew up very like meat and free veg.
Yeah.
Like I didn't even know sushi was a thing.
Yeah.
I think I had sushi for the first time when I was like 19.
It wasn't really a thing.
It wasn't as much sushi.
Until it kind of exploded in what, like the 2000s in New Zealand?
Early 2000s?
Yeah.
And I was like, it's weird because there never used to be Thai food.
Now I'm sure I'm not just inventing that.
There was Thai food.
Growing up, did you have Thai?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was.
I never saw Thai food growing up.
There was always like Chinese and Thai.
There was never Mexican food growing up.
Yeah, never Mexican.
Yeah.
Never Mexican food growing up. I remember when Mexican. Yeah. Never Mexican food growing up.
I remember when that kind of, you're like, so what is it?
A taco.
As nice as it is like a sandwich.
But you would have had those growing up.
A taco.
Yeah.
No.
Okay.
I would consider that the Mexican food that I just mentioned.
You've certainly made up for lost time.
Haven't I?
That's why every time.
How was Taco Tuesday used to be?
We didn't have tacos last night
oh not every way what did you do on tuesday just some chickeny fun i mean it was delicious that i
wanted yeah yeah it was it was it hit the spot yeah but uh it wasn't tacos but that's why every
time i have tacos now i have two extra to make up for the fact that i didn't have them in my childhood. In my 20s. So, okay, so Tessa Thompson, 39 years old.
Never had a burger.
Never had a burger.
Maybe that's the key to getting a three-way patch
with Taika Waititi and Rita Ora.
That's your problem.
Too much food.
No, but I bet Taika's had a burger,
and that was the sort of seat I imagined myself in.
I didn't imagine myself as the Tessa Thompson in there.
Yeah, yeah, you imagined.
Nothing against them. Yeah. Ta, you imagined. Nothing against him.
Yeah.
Tug of War did a very attractive man.
Yeah, but that's.
But I imagined myself in his seat more than hers.
Yeah.
Burger filled.
Full of burgers.
Full of burgers.
And yeah.
What a day.
So.
And then straight afterwards die.
Happy.
We want to take calls now from you.
Are you the same?
Is there a food that maybe you've only just recently tried?
Yeah.
Or a food that you've never tried?
Or a drink?
Yep.
A drink that you've never tried?
Because I know adults that are like, no, I've never had a coffee.
And you're like, how?
How?
How?
Like, come and do this job and wake up at 4 a.m.
Weren't you really tired one day?
And we're just like, yeah, it's not nice
but we do what we have to do
because we're adults now.
Yeah.
But yeah,
I know adults
that have just never
had a coffee.
Well, give us a call.
0800 dials at MSN number.
You can text as well.
9696.
What have you never tried?
Tessa Thompson,
39,
never had a burger.
Mind-blowing.
Mind-blowing.
This was admitted
at the Academy Awards
and she said she'd
only recently just
tried egg.
Egg.
Delicious egg.
Imagine, like,
that could be half
her life or a
third of her life.
Well, she's never
She lived to 120.
40 times three.
Oh, no, I was
meaning, like,
she's 39 now.
That's, like,
half your life.
Yeah, half your life.
Yeah.
You said you're
not a third of your life. Oh, yeah. Hey, she could have had 120. Well, we don't know meaning like she's 39 now. That's like half your life. Yeah, half your life. Yeah. You said you're not a 30-year-old.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, she could hit 120.
Well, we don't know how science is going.
I mean, she doesn't look 39.
No, she doesn't.
She could be biologically aging slower and just hasn't fully recognized it yet.
God, and then when you do get to 100, it'd probably be quite hard to eat a burger.
You'd have to get it blended up.
Blended up.
And then through a straw.
Pushed in.
Well, it's not impossible because Joanne joins us.
Joanne, I know it's rude to ask a lady your age, but how old are you?
I'm 32.
Would never have guessed.
32.
Would never have guessed.
I would ask you for an idea if we were at the supermarket
and you wanted to buy a bottle of wine.
Yeah.
Joanne, what have you never tried?
The list is long, but one thing that stands out as a Kiwi,
I've never had a pie.
Never ever had a pie?
No, any kind, sweet, savoury, nothing.
Are you a fussy?
Are you a fussy girl?
No, I have like a brain thing where I just, the foods,
I can't mix foods and stuff like that.
So it's not just that I'm fussy, it's that I just can't kind of get over that.
I've never had a burger either, or eggs.
What?
Or eggs?
No, I tried eggs.
What do you eat?
Meat, and I just started eating broccoli.
So, but could you eat a pie?
Could you spoon out all the mince?
No, because that's the one meat I don't eat, mince.
Oh, right. But what if it was something else
like chicken?
Could you spoon out all the chicken
and then eat the pastry? Because then that's not
combining it. Weirdly enough, I
eat sausage rolls.
What? A sausage roll is just
a dry pie with no sides.
Yeah. I don't know.
I don't know why. You don't like your meat
totally encased.
It's got to have
an exit point.
Yeah,
that must be it.
It's got to have
two fire emergency
exits on either end.
I think I also
grew up on a farm.
So,
we grew up on a farm
killing,
like,
beef.
So,
I grew up with,
like,
meat and potatoes,
essentially.
But we,
I grew up on a farm
and we always got a good, a good slab of the home cool
was always minced.
Yeah, no, I just avoid that.
And then if we did a stew,
my dad would pull out the pieces of meat
and wipe off the sauce because I didn't like that.
I can't believe you grew up on a farm
and your father did anything extra than cook the food.
Yeah, wow.
He'd be like, eat it.
I don't want it.
Well, then you get one.
That is mind-blowing.
Joanne, thank you for sharing.
Let's go to Sam.
Sam, how old are you?
And what have you not tried?
I'm 32, and I still haven't tried eggs.
Ever?
Ever.
But also, growing up, I had a thing called Afro,
which is where you're afraid to try new food.
So probably up until my mid-20s, I hadn't eaten hundreds of foods.
There was a, when I was growing up, there was a solution for that, for that disorder.
It was called giving them a smack or letting them go hungry.
Yeah, pretty much.
And then sit at the table until you ate.
And see how it tastes when it's cold.
Yeah.
I had an amazing mum who used to cook me
just plain pasta
and plain rice
because it was all I would eat.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Like a UN food drop in Africa.
You're on the UN African diet.
Pretty much.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
So you're 25 years
to try an anzac biscuit,
to try a mandarin,
broccoli, cauliflower,
everything.
Wow.
And still to this day, you just can't do eggs?
Can't do eggs.
Can't do the smell of them.
I'll cook them for my husband and for my kids.
I was going to say, I heard kids in the background.
Has this been passed on to them or are they...
My son is really fussy.
He's two.
He's super fussy.
But I'm trying my hardest not to pass it on to him because I know
what torture
I put my mum through
yeah
oh that's so fascinating
isn't it
Sam thank you
Tessa what have you
never tried
oh I have tried them now
but I'm 31
and up until a few weeks ago
I'd never put beans
in nachos
oh no no no
don't put beans in nachos
no I'm all about
beans in nachos
no no
beans in nachos
is it black beans?
Are they the best ones?
Yeah, black beans are the best.
Kidney beans?
Pinto beans.
We did a three bean mix now, but I went to the movie theatre and had like a, I was eating
the nachos in the gold class and I was like, this is delicious.
And then I realised it's because it had beans in it.
Oh, nice.
Also, it makes it go further as well.
Yeah, it's delicious.
And now I'm like 31 years of my life
and I've missed out on the greatness of beans and nachos.
Nah.
Nah.
I don't know whether you get a burrito
and they put beans and rice in it.
It's too much.
They're filling it up with beans and rice.
Ditch that.
Give me the chicken.
You're on the good stuff.
Yeah, I'm on the good stuff.
Tessa, thank you for sharing.
Ask the messages through.
Hey, I'm 37.
I've never eaten baked beans or ketchup.
That might be a sauce issue.
Yeah, sounds like a tomato sauce issue.
I've never had an energy drink.
Oh, yeah.
Send the messages in.
That's fine.
I think you can do without them.
Like, historically, we went thousands of years without them.
You probably don't need them.
It always blows my mind The massive ones The massive cans
Yeah I get
Heart palpitations
Just looking at them
Yeah
I'm a
36 year old female
I've never tried male
It's not for everybody
It's not for everybody
No
That's a gold star lesbian
Well we don't even know
If she's
She's not
Clarified
Her orientation
Oh yeah okay She might just not have tried yet Yeah right okay Fair call 31 Never had coffee Well, we don't even know if she's not clarified her orientation. Oh, yeah, okay.
She might just not have tried yet.
Yeah, right, okay.
Fair call.
31, never had coffee.
I've never eaten meat or drank any alcohol of any type.
Vaughn's like, I don't want to hang out with you.
What do you eat?
What do you do?
What do you do for fun?
What do you do with your time?
Yeah.
If you're not cooking meat or drinking,
maybe just a Fanta and some tofu.
If you're not drinking alcohol,
but you're drinking Fanta,
because you think it's better for you,
I don't know what the problem is there,
but it's not.
I just thought that could get you hyped up
on another level with everyone else that's drinking.
Someone said, I'm 32.
I've never had instant noodles.
Yeah.
I mean, that's not a bad thing.
I can see how you've got around that.
But that's your childhood.
Young life.
And student flatting.
Yeah.
Instant noodles.
And then you walk past them and you're like, never again.
Yeah.
That smell.
Yeah.
That smell of when the hot water first hits.
The instant noodles. Because I'm a the hot water first hits the instant noodles.
Because I'm a big fan of boiling off all the water.
I don't like a soupy two-minute noodle.
No, see, I'll do the noodle.
I'll boil off the water and it kind of goes a bit like... Gluggy.
Slimy and gluggy.
Yeah, gluggy.
No.
Noodles, cooked.
Yep.
Drained.
Yep.
Flavour then added.
Yes, add flavour last.
Yeah, add flavour last.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
But you're boiling the water off. Yeah, and then I'm... You just leave them in the water for so long. Yeah. And then added. Yes, add flavour last. Yeah, add flavour last. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. But you're boiling the water off.
Yeah, and then I'm...
You just leave them in the water for so long.
Yeah.
And then drain the water.
Yeah, I just don't put a lot of water in to start.
Really?
Yeah.
And boil it off.
Yeah, boil it off and then add the flavour.
Sort of a dumplings, sort of a boiled dumplings,
or a pan fried dumplings vibe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
On the noodles.
No, it's not crispy.
That would be good if it was though.
They're just soggy.
Yeah, it could be.
Put it in the pan.
And then also in my...
Put some oil and boil it off.
I used to do a good two minute noodle omelette too. You've talked about this omelette. Yeah, it could be. Put it in the pan. And then also in my eyes,
I used to do a good two-minute noodle omelette too.
You've talked about this omelette.
Yeah, it's a winner.
That's a winner.
Protein.
Well, it used to be the cheap option,
but now eggs cost more than gold,
so that might not be the cheap option
for an after-school snack anymore.
No.
22 and I've never had tuna.
Can't get over the smell.
Oh, no, I don't blame you.
Nothing will put you off canned. Is it canned salmon where they leave over the smell. Oh, no, I don't. Don't blame you. Nothing will put you off canned.
Is it canned salmon where they leave the bones in?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And you're like, what's that?
Oh, my God.
It's a spine.
It's a spine.
Play Zed-In.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Play Zed-In.
Well, Ted Lasso, season three premieres today on Apple TV+.
Yeah, and yesterday we caught up with Brendan Hunt, Coach Baird.
Thanks for joining us.
Well, thank you very much for having me.
This is delightful.
Three of you.
I haven't had three people at once all day.
This is thrilling.
It's chaos in here.
It's chaos in here.
It's a lot of energy.
You're bringing a fourth energy to the chaos wheel already.
Now, it's the third season.
Is this the last season?
We have no idea.
We always thought it was a three-part thing,
and this is that third part,
but all we really know now is that once the show is out,
we need to get the f*** away from each other for a while
because we're driving each other insane.
And so we're going to take a break,
and then we're going to figure it out.
But everything is on the table.
We haven't decided, but there will be time before we do.
What about a good old-fashioned three seasons and a movie?
I like where your head's at.
Everything's on the table.
I'm not saying no.
I was going to say Christmas episode, but we had a Christmas episode.
But why couldn't we do a Christmas episode every season?
Every Christmas.
Every Christmas.
There's so many Christmases.
They just keep coming. They do. Okay, well, we had a Christmas episode every season? Every Christmas. Every Christmas. There's so many Christmases. They just keep coming.
They do. Okay, well,
we had one good idea and one that's horrible.
So we're doing fine.
Now, so I've seen the first three
episodes. There's some juices and great
storylines this season.
Did you feel the pressure heading
into this season? Because everybody loves
the show, you know, writing-wise.
Yeah, the only pressure we feel, we let ourselves feel, and we do have to work at it because loves this show, writing-wise. Yeah, and the only
pressure we feel, we let ourselves feel,
and we do have to work at it because people keep
knocking on the door with
what they want us to do, left and right.
But the only pressure was just to make a show,
continue making a show that we like
and keep serving ourselves.
When we made season one, which apparently
people enjoyed, we weren't sitting there
thinking, what do we do to make sure't sitting there, you know, thinking like,
what do we do to make sure people enjoy this?
And so that doesn't help the process.
So we have to compartmentalize and stave that away.
Are you able to remove yourself from the show in terms of watching it?
Like, can you look at it and see the value in it in the same way?
Or are you just looking at yourself and looking at your work and going,
ugh.
Wait, why would I say that?
Well, I just know lots of artists.
I am an artist myself, a writer, creator.
We can get into that.
Hayley said the show got cancelled.
It was because she kept giving me a thing like, ugh.
Here we go.
Give me the CV.
I'll see what I can do for you.
Jesus.
I mean, look, I have been the lead of a sitcom before,
but we don't need to get into it because I work in radio now
because it's a more stable career path, apparently,
for a short time.
No, but I just mean a lot of the times when you watch your own work, it's hard to be subjective
about it and kind of go, oh, I can see how other people are really enjoying this without
picking apart my own contribution to it.
Yeah, I mean, you know, I still essentially hate seeing myself on camera, but it's like
if I were to, every time I see myself on camera in the it's like if i were to every time i see myself on
camera in the editing process if i were to stop and go ew oh god no then i'm gonna slow things
down you know and so like you just kind of put that aside um and as for the show itself like
the show still makes me laugh you know uh we watch edits over and over again and there's certain beats
where i'm like oh my god goddamn that that damn, that one take, that one joke, that one, you know.
We still enjoy doing it
and, you know, the
quote-unquote significance of it to people
which is so beautiful and wonderful, that
is external and I
leave to the rest of the world. But in terms of just the show
itself, it's still a hoot.
I was trying to think of what, before
watching season three, I need to watch a recap of season
two because everything I was trying to think of that happened in season two was actually from Welcome to Wrexham.
So I think you've got a real problem with these Brian bloody Reynolds and Rob McElhenney coming in and stealing the football after you guys made it popular with America and the rest of the world.
Yeah, the nerve.
The nerve of those guys.
Using a real club in a real city.
I'm embarrassed.
I thought your club
was a real club too
until I mentioned it
to a soccer friend.
He's like,
you know that's
a fictitious club.
I was like,
um,
um,
yeah,
sure,
no,
definitely not.
I mean,
we were almost
going to be
Richmond FC,
but the,
the,
the Aussie Rules Club
that exists
would have been
a copyright situation.
So we had to be AFC Richmond. Oh, you should have taken that. Aussie Rules is that exists would have been a copyright situation. So we had to be AFT Richmond.
You should have taken that. Aussie Rules is a silly
wee sport. Bouncing,
catching. They're dancers, basically.
Tiny little shorts.
Tiny, hot, tiny shorts.
But big arms.
Big arms, tiny shorts,
mother haircuts. This is the most
Kiwi moment I could have imagined.
I watch Aussie Rules and I'm like, oh my gosh,
these are 22 or 30 of them, I don't know,
just hired killers.
And you guys are making fun of them for being...
No, no, no.
New Zealand rugby is like brutal
and the men are like ripped apart with torn off ears.
And these guys are like,
I work for Versace on the weekends.
You won't be able to catch me
as I prom
watch me run
I'm off to audition
for Peter Pan
at the Melbourne Theatre
this is the next show
Brendan
you can write a show
about Aussie rules
and we'll play
as a little rugby player
go around the world
okay fine
the CV
and the pitch
I'm just giving ideas here
she does this every time.
It's embarrassing.
I've got to make use of this acting degree.
It's truly just rotting away in a drawer.
Brendan, we're very excited to be talking to you.
We're so excited for the rest of the third season.
What else can you tell us before we go?
Any little hints at this season?
Well, you know,
in a regular football season,
every team plays every other team twice.
So that must be true for
Richmond and West Ham as well.
He's good.
He's good. He's been cool. He's not giving too much
away. Awesome. Thanks for your time,
Brendan. Really appreciate it. Thank you.
Well, this was the highlight of the day. Appreciate it.
Where can she send the CV to though?
Yeah, so just an email.
Is it Brendan?
I reckon try it.
Oh, guys, I've got to go.
I'm on.
Bye, guys.
He works there from TV
at iCloud.com.
Coach Ben at iCloud.com.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Just found out that the person
that blew this whole situation
might have messaged me on Instagram before.
So I was like, that name rings a bell.
And I clicked on it.
Yeah, we've had correspondence.
Okay.
About different things.
So this is how this all started.
And for those of you that don't know,
let's start from the start because there is scandal
within the confectionery industry.
Courtney Adele on TikTok claimed that the chocolates
that the Potter Brothers were selling, kind of pineapple lump-esque things, were simply pineapple lumps dipped again in chocolate to give them a thicker, chunkier look.
But still the square pineapple in the middle.
So they were dipping a pineapple lump.
Yeah.
The official pineapple lump or like an imitation lump?
Very good question.
I believe,
no, I believe it was
bulk purchased.
Yep.
Like massive bags.
They would then dip them
further in chocolate.
She took a scalpel to it.
Popped a...
She did an operation.
Yeah, full operation
on a pineapple.
And it had that,
you know how pineapple lumps
have got the swirlies on top
and then underneath
it's got like the print from where it sat
and set on the conveyor belt?
Yep.
And then recoded them and claimed small batch made in New Zealand,
proud to be 100% New Zealand operated.
Everyone's like, that's a bit cheeky.
Handcrafted for Kiwis by Kiwis, et cetera, these sorts of lines.
Yep.
There's been updates because then everybody got really stuck into it.
Like yesterday, the Labour Party ditched 80% of their policies.
And rather than being like, oh, why?
Hold on.
I thought climate change had recently affected us and we were trying to put a bit of effort into that.
Everybody's like, they've double dipped the pineapple, I'm so bastard.
Yeah.
Like people are literally still cleaning up from these floods.
Huge floods.
These devastating floods.
Massive cyclones.
The hundred-year events that have happened three times in the last 18 months.
But it's the big issue.
The big issue is, are they taking pineapple lumps and dipping them again?
Yep.
Yeah.
So, apparently they've got other items that aren't,
but a lot of these are just re-dipped lollies.
Okay.
Yeah.
On the news last night they talked to a spokesperson for,
is it Mondelēz?
Yeah, that's who owns Pineapple Lumps.
Pascal's and they own Pineapple Lumps.
Cadbury, that's Cadbury.
Once we sell them, that's up to the individual what they do with them.
Is it?
I mean, that's no different than, say, you buy a sundae at a restaurant.
Yeah.
And they sprinkle it with lollies or pineapple lumps.
Yeah.
But you know you're getting pineapple lumps.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's true.
Is it a bit like somebody buying a motorcycle, changing it,
and then selling it if it was a Honda?
Do you know what I mean? Doing some mods on it, taking the badges off, and then selling it if it was a Honda. Do you know what I mean?
Doing some mods on it, taking the badges off and then selling it.
Like if I was buying Harley Davidson and rebranding them Fletchy Davidsons.
Fletchy D's.
Fletchy D's.
Fletchy D's.
Motorcycles.
Oh, what's that?
That sounds like a Harley Davidson.
No, it's a Fletchy D's.
A Fletchy's proudly made here in New Zealand.
Oh, actually, I don't know if that would be the same.
Okay, would it be like me buying Harley Davidson motorcycles,
dipping them in chocolate,
and then rebranding them as Fletchie Davidsons?
Fletchie Davidsons, chocolate-covered treats,
and you've got to lick the chocolate off to see what's inside.
Yes.
It could be a Harley Davidson.
I like that.
It could be a...
It could be anything.
It's like a Lucky Dip covered in chocolate.
But they're basically like,
well, once we've sold Our pineapple lumps We don't care
Well there's nothing
They can do
Yeah they were just like
Well that's capitalism baby
Once we sell them
They're sold
Individuals buy them
What they do with them
Then it's up to them
But the business
From the Potter's Brothers
They kind of were just like
Let's just ignore this
And hope it goes away
But they forgot
That Kiwis love lollies
So it didn't go away
So they've come out and saying,
when we started, we were young, excitable, and naive
and didn't consider how the use of some words in our content
may not be appropriate.
This is the handmade, small batch made
when it was just re-dipping some other stuff.
They've updated their website to reflect the personal and professional growth.
It's been an ongoing long-term project.
Okay.
I mean, I'll still eat them because I love lollies,
especially double-dipped. Yeah. I mean I'll still eat them because I love lollies especially double dipped.
Yeah.
Like that's extra better.
I wonder if they've
tried making biscuits
and chucking a pineapple
up in the middle.
I love a biscuit
with a hidden chocolate
in the middle.
Buying biscuits
and dipping them
in chocolate
and then reselling them.
Reselling them.
See you couldn't
get away with that.
Like if you were
double dipping a squiggle
and then saying
they were hand batched
handmade
Yeah. Like small batches like you'd buy it in and be like this is a squiggle and then saying they were hand-batched, handmade, like small batches.
Like you'd bite in
and be like,
this is a squiggle.
This is just a re-dipped squiggle.
In fact,
I'm surprised they got away
with it for this long.
They would have got away with it
if it wasn't for the van
full of teenage stoners
and this huge great dame
with a penchant
for giant sandwiches
who unmasked them
as the villain all along.
That's why you don't
tango with stoners.
You don't try to get one over
on stoners when it comes to treats.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley.
This story comes to us from Wrexham.
Yes, the same Wrexham, the home of the football club
that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhinney bought.
That's right.
In Wales.
Correct.
Yeah, okay.
There is a prison there and 18 female guards over six years have been
fired for affairs they call them
with the inmates.
Does that mean they had partners on the outside?
They were affairs. I don't know. They were just
hookups. Or they weren't meant to be
doing it so it's an affair.
Do you think that falls under the definition of
an affair? I always thought they would
have had to have been cheating. Definition.
An action or aition. An action or
a sequence. An event or a
sequence of events of a specified kind that
had previously been referred to. No.
A sexual relationship between two people, one or both
of whom are married or in a long-term relationship with somebody
else. Those are your basic definitions.
Okay. So,
matters of public interest and importance. Anyway.
We could talk about
English language all day.
In Wrexham,
18 female guards at one jail
over six years have been laid off for
intimacy with
You know why? It's because
women cannot resist a bad
guy. They love a bad boy. They love a naughty
boy. Producers.
Am I wrong?
There's a difference between a bad boy and a prisoner.
Yeah, that's a bad, bad, bad boy.
I'm not that kind of level of bad boy.
Yeah, you know, I've made some
poor decisions.
Because you want to change them.
You see them locked up in their prison cell, you're like,
I'll help you, baby. I was once
with a guy and he got arrested while we were
together and I remember being like, not the biggest
deal breaker.
We're not together.
Shannon, you need to respect
yourself. Low standards.
You need to respect what happened.
I am happy you found yourself a respected
magician.
Those two words have never gone together.
A lovely, respected
magician.
Not a criminal. But this is why
Because
And I mean if they were hot
You'd be like
Yeah
So one of them
One of them ended up
In jail herself
She got eight months in prison
She'd smuggled a cell phone
Into her prison lover
So she could send
Photos of herself
To him via Snapchat
Why don't you just show him
When you're at work
Yeah
Yeah and if
it's... She was also caught kissing
him. Okay. By another
prison guard who reported it at the time.
And
then she accepted money to bring in the phone.
Another one was jailed
for a year after having a fling with a
dangerous inmate.
Or as Shannon said,
not the biggest deal breaker. Not the biggest deal breaker.
Not the biggest deal breaker.
The criminology and psychology graduate
made numerous phone calls to this bad boy
while he was serving his 12-year sentence
for conspiracy to rob
and smuggled in a pair of her knickers.
She was a criminology and psychology graduate.
So she was obviously...
These are like...
Dumb-dumbs.
No. These are like... Yeah. Dumb-dumbs. No.
These are like...
That's fascinating.
The same year, another one...
Oh, okay.
Another one was jailed for one year for an act of the sexual nature upon a prisoner.
Okay.
So quite a few of them ended up in jail themselves.
And this is just one prison that...
It's one prison.
That we know of.
Yeah.
So now the 500 members of staff have undertaken corruption prevention training
because this was such a problem.
But is it because you're not allowed to do it?
That it makes it.
That it makes it, like, tempting to them?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What is that called?
Being married?
The forbidden.
What?
Being cheating?
It's the same thing, right?
The forbidden fruit.
The forbidden fruit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The forbidden fruit.
Like a married man is forbidden fruit.
He's forbidden fruit.
He has a wife.
He's the apple that you've been told not to eat.
And then you just want a bite of that apple.
Yeah.
And you can't have that.
Makes you want it more.
This is what we want to ask this morning.
Who did you hook up with that you shouldn't have hooked up with?
Okay. I mean, bonus if you're a prison guard listening. This is what we want to ask this morning. Who did you hook up with that you shouldn't have hooked up with? No joke.
I mean, bonus if you're a prison guard listening
and had a little kiss in the cell.
Yeah.
And I don't know,
but that's a high number of females working at a male prison.
Yeah.
I would have thought female guards were at female prisons,
male guards were at male prisons.
To stop this happening.
Well, would it though?
But yeah, I don't know.
I just sort of would have thought physicality and intimidation alone.
Now, I'm not to say that female prison guards aren't intimidating themselves.
They can definitely hold their own.
Yeah, absolutely.
There's something quite hot about that.
But I'm not in prison because I'm a weak little boy scared of the law.
Right.
We have had a message in.
I'm from Wrexham.
And to be honest, there's not a lot to choose from.
Yeah, I've watched the TV show.
And apart from the football players who all seem to be living somewhere else,
apart from when it's game day or practice, there's also not a lot.
A lot of options.
Yeah, and a lot of options.
So you're saying that maybe there's a man drought and all the hotties are in prison.
Yeah.
Okay. Somebody said, remember these prison guards look like Mrs. Trunchbull from the Matilda movie. So you're saying that maybe there's a man drought and all the hotties are in prison. Yeah. Okay, well...
Somebody said, remember these prison guards
look like Mrs. Trunchbull from the Matilda movie.
I'm looking at photos of them and no man, no sir, they do not.
They don't.
They don't look like Mrs. Trunchbull at all.
No.
So 0800-DARLS-IT-EM, we want to take some calls this morning.
Have you hooked up with someone you shouldn't have?
You don't?
You can be anonymous.
Absolutely anonymous. It's be anonymous. Absolutely anonymous.
It's probably best you remain anonymous.
Yep.
We don't need to use names.
You can put on a funny accent
as long as we can still understand you.
0800 dials at Amazon number Texas 9696.
Who did you hook up with that you definitely shouldn't have?
Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Play ZM. Hayley's away at Marching Nationals Definitely shouldn't have.
Hayley's away at Marching Nationals in Christchurch.
She would never have let this happen.
The show's just... She would have been on board with this.
So a story from Wales.
One prison alone in the last six years
has fired 18 female prison guards
for hooking up with liaisons.
Liaisons.
Liaisons.
Smuggling them things.
Also a big no-no.
Yep.
Yeah, liaisons.
So now the 500 staff are going through anti-corruption training.
Seems a little late.
Seems a little after six years.
We want to know from you this morning,
when you hooked up with someone that you shouldn't have,
the forbidden fruit, there are some
wild messages coming in.
The forbidden fruit bowl
is chocker. It's full and people
are just grabbing all sorts of fruits.
And I tell you what, this forbidden fruit bowl with the price
of fruit and veg at the moment is
very expensive. Well, it's a free forbidden
fruit bowl, you see.
So people are in there for two reasons.
Yeah.
The vitamins and the minerals.
Yeah.
And it's forbidden fruit.
Yeah.
And it's free.
Wow.
Three reasons.
There are so many we cannot read out.
My mother hooked up with my ex-husband.
I would consider that pretty naughty.
Oh, yeah.
That's forbidden?
That's forbidden fruit.
That's not.
That's a no-go.
Ex at the time?
Ex-messenger Through the questions
What
What did you say
Her
Her mother
Yeah
Hooked up with her ex
That's bad
That's don't speak to her again level
That's
What did you do that for mum
What
Yeah that's
So many
And so does that mean
The whole time she was with him
The mum was like
Had eyes on him
Don't know The first one Somebody's a double offender here So many. And does that mean the whole time she was with him, the mum was like, had eyes on him?
Don't know.
The first one, somebody's a double offender here.
The first time I hooked up with someone I shouldn't have with me was my boss's daughter.
I lost my job.
Okay.
Second time was the next boss's wife.
Also lost my job.
You've just got to stop that.
Don't meet the boss's family.
No.
Stay away from them.
Yeah, when your new boss is like,
do you want to come around
for a barbecue this weekend?
Say no.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
Oh, why not?
I don't know, man.
It's just best I don't.
I've got a bit of a record.
Yeah.
Somebody else said,
my aunt hooked up
with her husband's son.
My aunt?
Yeah, hooked up
with her husband's son.
The son was from
a previous marriage.
Right.
Stepmother, stepson.
Like, like... The online was from a previous marriage. Right. Stepmother. Stepson. Like the online.
Yep.
So I've heard.
That's bad.
Are they still together?
I don't know.
No, because it doesn't say.
They can't be together if they hooked up.
Or they don't know.
It's actually easier, somebody says, for a woman to work in a man's prison.
Once you get past the tough guy act, they actually treat you pretty well.
Working in a woman's prison, on the other hand,
presents the power pull that often happens between women.
I did four years in a men's prison and one in a woman's.
I go back to a men's prison any time.
Women are ruthless.
They are.
That's when a woman put a female prison guard.
They are ruthless.
They're like a reality TV show every day.
Yeah.
And they can shank you.
Let's go to Tim now.
Tim, good morning. You were in estrogen. Yes. Let's go to Tim now. Tim, good morning.
You were in prison.
Yeah, morning.
Yeah, yeah.
I was in a Rimetaka prison.
Okay.
Is that the one in the central North Island?
Yeah, it's in Wellington.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, the Rimetaka.
Do you get your own room?
Yeah, yeah.
You've got your own little quarters.
Okay.
You want to call it that?
Okay.
Now, Tim, dancing lightly and remembering we're a family show
talking about hooking up with prisoners,
what happened when you were in prison?
So I was in prison for a little while there
and I ended up hooking up with one of the guards.
Okay, and how did this happen?
Just over time, did you build a rapport with them?
Oh, you know, check game's not too shabby, eh, mate?
Well, you're charming the pants off me, Tim.
Yeah.
Goodness me.
Okay.
Did this happen once?
Multiple times, and I think seven or eight times.
And we got caught on the eighth time, and she got fired.
I got moved to maximum security.
Oh, no!
What rating is Rumataka Prison?
Oh, you know, I'd rate it a zero out of ten, mate.
No, I mean like security-wise.
Oh, security rating low.
Low, mate.
And then you got moved to a maximum.
Low, medium, yeah.
Oh, medium.
Right.
And so no hooking up with the guards at a maximum.
You'd have to do it through the slot in the door.
It happens, mate, you know.
It happens.
Never say never.
Never say never.
Wow.
But that was never in the news, was it?
Of course not.
No.
They don't want you to know about that.
Does that happen more than we'd think then, Tim?
It happens regularly, on the regular occasion.
Wow, okay.
Very interesting, Tim.
So we were like, oh, this happens in Wales.
They don't have it sorted, but it happens here.
It happens here.
A lot.
And we just keep it under the hat.
Much more than anyone would know.
Wow.
Interesting man, Tim.
Thank you, Tim.
Thank you, Tim.
He's a good boy now, I can tell.
He's a good boy.
He's a good boy now.
And I imagine he was just in prison for light fraud.
That's what I'd like to imagine.
Light fraud.
Light fraud.
My ex's best friend and founding business partner
someone messaged in who they shouldn't have hooked up with
and my ex still doesn't know.
Wow.
I've hooked up with someone at pretty much every job I've ever had.
Not ideal, but it's a little game for me now and I won't be stopped.
I won't be stopped?
It's a little game for me.
I won't be stopped.
Wow.
I won't be stopped.
I like that they're just like, love a challenge.
My sister hooked up with her married boss.
He had two kids and a pregnant wife at home.
Grandma was none to impress when she brought him to Christmas that year.
I can see why.
Grandma, traditional grandma. But also, he's a piece of ass if he's brought him to Christmas that year. I can see why. Grandma, traditional grandma.
But also, he's a piece of ass if he's doing that to his pregnant wife at home.
Oh, I'll scroll back up to the top.
Someone said, I love some morning scandal.
That's what just all they messaged us.
I know, it is.
Great way to start the day.
The prison scandal.
That's happening here.
Isn't that mind-blowing?
So, follow-up.
Remember we talked about the ex that mum slept with her partner?
Yes.
Follow-up.
It was during our messy split-up.
He did it for revenge and I no longer talk to my mum.
So he was only doing it.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Someone said, to celebrate graduating high school,
I revisited the music teacher on the top of a piano.
So hot.
I'm glad that...
What, they reset their exam, do you mean?
It sounds like they finished school.
Yep.
You know, just to cross the I's.
Yep.
No, what do you do?
You cross the T's and dot the I's.
Don't cross the I's because then it becomes a little capital T.
And I guess the teacher was like, well, they've left.
Done.
On top of a piano.
What kind of piano?
The school piano?
It would have to be a grand piano.
If Hayley was here, we could ask what kind of piano.
It wouldn't be a stand-up piano.
Not a lot of room.
Unless you put down the protector that covered the keys and someone sat on it.
Anyway.
I'll leave that.
Details.
I'll leave that to your imagination.
So now we read out the podcast-only messages we received for the phone-in topic,
as you've just heard some wild stories on air.
Who did you hook up with that you shouldn't have?
Okay, scroll down to the bottom.
Are we going to talk about Dee who called up?
Dee slept with a homeless man.
I don't know.
I didn't get to.
Can we actually just check in with who took Dee's call?
Was it you?
It was Jared.
Why did Dee say she shouldn't have slept with a homeless man?
A myriad of reasons.
They met in the clubs and then basically said.
Oh, so she said, let's go home to yours.
And he's like, we're here. He said, I live in Albert Park.
Right.
Took her home to a folded out fridge box.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So she took him home.
He stayed for a while.
Things went south and she moved out.
Of the box.
Wait a minute.
She took him home to her house.
Yep.
And he just didn't leave.
And then so she found it easier to vacate her premises.
Effectively, yeah.
Oh, wow. Okay. So that was quite a story. She didn't give full details, but yeah, it was a good play. And then so she found it easier to vacate her premises Effectively, yeah Oh wow, okay
So that was quite a story
She didn't give full details, but yeah, it was a good play
Jesus, Dan
Yeah, well we didn't put that on here rightfully, so
Yeah, okay, so
The look of horror on the Gen Z's face
Did you see that?
Yeah
Awful
Awful
But here on the internet, it's the Wild West
Here on the internet, you're in full support of Taiwan
As we've established You recognise the people West. Here on the internet, you're in full support of Taiwan, as we've established.
Well, no, I-
You recognize the people of Taiwan.
I read the John Cena statement.
Yeah.
I don't want to ruin your trade deal with China.
Thank you.
Let's talk Hong Kong.
Hong Kong?
I side with Hong Kong.
Wow.
Isn't it cool?
Your trade deal's gone.
My trade deal's gone.
But, you know, you've got to draw the line somewhere.
Who shouldn't you have hooked up with? Somebody said, I spent some time in's gone. But, you know, you've got to draw the line somewhere.
Who shouldn't you have hooked up with?
Somebody said, I spent some time in prison recently,
and there was a female guard who got caught in the storeroom of the prison.
So this happens.
Wow.
Was it Tim?
Naughty boy?
I couldn't stop myself if they were hot, though.
Who could?
Because what does a prison guard earn?
Not enough to care that much, eh? Well, technically, they'd be a government employee, eh?
Because our prisons are all publicly prison guard salary, NZ.
The average salary for a correctional officer is $59,000 in New Zealand.
Oh, okay.
Corrections officers start on about $60,000 and usually earn up to $69,000.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Senior corrections officers usually earn between $75,000 and $69,000. Nice. Nice. Nice. Senior corrections officers usually earn between $75,000 and $79,000.
Principal corrections officers can earn between $84,000 and $88,000.
And if you're willing to take bribes from gangs to smuggle more stuff in, the world's
your oyster.
Oh, the bonus is there.
I just...
What I've heard is you can never stop, though.
You can.
Did you ever hook up with any customers at Pack and Save?
Was that allowed, Jared?
Producer Jared, when you're a checkout check? Not. Did you ever slide into with any customers at Pack and Save? Was that allowed, Jared? Producer Jared, when you're a checkout check?
No.
Did it slide into anyone's conveyor belt?
No, I hooked up with the staff.
You hooked up with the staff.
Oh, wow.
What was the sexiest apartment?
Deli.
No, you'll be shocked.
You'll be absolutely shocked.
It was seafood.
Yeah.
A bit smelly.
Wow.
A bit pongy
Yeah
They smell like that machine that squirts the muscles
Yeah
And it takes hours for that smell to go away
Really
Yeah
Gonna need some good soap to get that out
Wow, the seafood
The seafood department
Wow
I've been sleeping with the same married man for 10 years
Wow
This is terrible
My ex's best friend I hooked up with them with the same married man for 10 years. Wow. This is terrible.
My ex's best friend, I hooked up with them.
My ex's best friend.
Oh, yeah, that's not too bad.
That was a few of those messages in, actually.
The friend isn't going to like that, though.
No.
No, no, famously.
My mom's ex-husband used to work in a woman's prison before they got married.
A female would keep popping up on his Facebook messenger
and my sister and I did some investigating and we further found out that it was a lady from prison
that he was having an affair with while he worked at the prison that she was at before he met my mum.
But he continued to have the affair with her while with my mum when she was released from prison.
Scandal.
My gosh.
But he could never have been with her because you can never holiday to Hawaii
because Americans, they don't let you in because they've got a criminal record.
I took the virginity of my flatmate's little brother.
I took.
This was a mutually agreed upon deal.
I took the virginity of my flatmate's little brother.
Then later that year, took another virginity of one of my friend's little brothers.
Jesus Christ Christ this little
mate
my current partner of three years is
do they work in the seafood department at
Pakensove I tell you what they might
they might do it exclusively with
the butchering of yeah
fish from the sea
um I've got a double
whammy with you okay here's our double whammy
for us I hooked up with my friend's mum in high school.
She was single.
Your friend's mum.
That's something.
Also, the same year I did the same with my homestay in Tahiti.
They hooked up with the mum of the homestay in Tahiti.
Bora, bora.
We have got a real Romeo on our hands here.
Haven't we?
God, Lord.
I was sleeping with my best friend's boyfriend for the last year of their relationship
and then the two years following that.
Not your best friend's boyfriend.
Come on.
I got a ride home one night with my friend's girlfriend
after he passed out from having too many lemonades.
She made a move on me and four years and two kids later were engaged.
It was meant to be.
Meant to be, yeah.
It was meant to be.
Not me, but in high school, our woodwork teacher got the English teacher pregnant when they
were both married to other people.
Scandal.
That's the old woodwork teacher.
Got his doweling up.
Rough hands.
Yeah, rough hands.
Rough hands and a thick dowel.
A thick dowel.
Sand in the dowel.
You want to smooth out that dowel.
Are we going to mention Shannon?
Shannon let pajamas at the social media.
Disque her message through to the group chat now.
I haven't seen the group chat now.
I haven't seen the group chat yet.
Read that.
You will be disgusted.
Off the back of Jared, I got caught hooking up with a dishwasher guy
at the restaurant I worked at while at work.
Yeah.
Not too proud.
At work?
Yeah.
It was a slow night.
Right, like a Tuesday, was it?
Yeah.
And we went to the bins.
Ooh!
Yuck!
That is feral!
I was young, I was young.
That doesn't make any sense.
The bins!
Cut it, cut it.
We were just having a pash, nothing too serious.
There would have been bin juice.
Yeah.
Exactly, there would have been a stink,
there would have been a rat within your proximity.
You know there's always a rat by a bin,
you might not see it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't.
My boss came over, and she's like,
not now, not now.
Well, she comes over, you're so engaged in engaged that you don't hear your boss on the approach no we were outside at the bins
like the big skip chain um a mildly big chain a mildly big big chain monster no but you're in
the right vicinity yeah little india in there right India. Was it Little India? No, it was an Italian restaurant.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, we can probably work that out.
A mildly big chain.
Pizza Hut.
I don't think I know any Italian chains.
Oh, La Porchetta.
Close.
Oh!
No, no, no.
I'm out of it.
Non-solo pizza. I'm stopping. I'm out of Non-solo pizza
I'm stopping
I'm out of Italian
It's in East Auckland
And if it's got a stinky bin
That was probably it
Play
ZM's
Fletch
Vaughn
And Hayley
Couple of follow up texts
To the conversation we just had
About hooking up with
People you shouldn't
The forbidden fruit
Someone said
This makes me realise
That I am
Planer than vanilla
But also I'm not doing
Too bad at life.
Yeah.
That's what I should know.
And somebody else messaged in, thanks guys.
Now my five-year-old is insisting on having forbidden fruit in his lunchbox as it sounds yum.
It is yum.
It's yum.
It's the best.
This is the thing, five-year-old.
Once you have forbidden fruit, you won't be able to go back to a brown nana.
No.
Or a flowery apple.
No way.
There's no fruit like it.
All right, it's time for...
Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day.
Okay, today's fact of the day.
I was researching some fact of the days and I clicked on this
because I like this song and it was interesting,
but I just thought this would only be interesting to me and I played it
and then my wife was like, oh, my God, I haven't heard that song for so long.
Okay.
And then my kids were like, what is that song from?
And I was like, have you heard this before?
And they're like, no, but it is.
They said it is an entrancing song.
And I said,
okay,
that's enough for me
to be like,
that's going to be
tomorrow's fact of the day.
Okay.
And what is this?
Do you have this song here?
I've got this song here.
Okay.
It's,
it's a song called
Return to Innocence
by Enigma.
I'm familiar with this.
Why were you playing this song?
Because I was researching
fact of the days
and there was a fact of the day
about Enigma.
Right.
That kicks in about here.
Oh, yeah.
This has been remixed as well a million times, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
So I was of the understanding
that that chanting in the background was Native American.
As I believe everybody was under the impression because the fact was
it's not Native American. Right. It's actually
Taiwanese. Native Taiwanese.
Native, part of China. No.
Pre. I'm not getting on this. I'm not getting out of
I'm not. Free, free Chinese.
Oh, okay.
Somebody wants some.
Hey, hey.
I'm just saying, I'm just saying there were people there before.
Undeniable.
I'm just saying the People's Republic of China take a hard line on this attitude.
You've got a trade deal.
I've got a trade deal with China that I don't want to ruin.
You've got a trade deal with China and you don't want to, you know've got a trade deal with China and you don't want to put that into turmoil, but I'll
say it. There were people there beforehand.
Now this part.
The most identifiable part of...
I never thought that was anything other
than just them singing, chanting
rubbish.
Which it's not.
It's not made up. It turns out.
It's actually a Taiwanese song called The Elder's Drinking Song.
This is the song that was sampled.
At which stage?
What are they drinking?
You might be thinking, what did Enigma actually do for the song?
Because that's pretty much just the same song, right?
Yeah.
The chanting.
Well, let me tell you how Enigma came to get their hands on this chanting.
It was during a cultural exchange to Spain that Dai Fang and Ngei Duana from the Amis,
which was...
China doesn't want to hear it.
But the people that were there before.
Yeah.
Yeah, from their tribe.
They were on a cultural exchange to Paris.
Look, I'm just saying,
you don't want to be John Cena
and have to read out that statement.
The apology statement.
The apology statement.
And look, I don't think China gives too much of a hoot
what I have to say about things.
But they were on a cultural exchange program.
Yep.
To Paris in 1998.
And part of it was a song,
and they sung this song
called The Elder's Drinking Song. And part of it was a song, and they sung this song called The Elder's Drinking Song.
And it was recorded onto a CD
and just, like, kept.
Then the producer for Enigma
came across it and was like,
God, that'd be lovely, wouldn't it?
If we put the drumbeat
from the Led Zeppelin song
When the Levee Breaks behind it.
Right.
And we will make the Enigma song
Return to Innocence.
And that's how it happened.
They didn't ask permission.
Oh, didn't they?
No.
When they made Enigma Return to Innocence.
But there was no internet, so good luck finding out.
Well, they found out.
Oh, did they?
They found out.
And right up until their death, it was an ongoing lawsuit
where they sued the producer of Enigma for it
as they said that that's not your song.
We want some money.
They were given an undisclosed amount of money.
Oh, were they?
And all further releases of the song,
they were credited, including royalties.
Oh, wow.
And when they passed away in 2012,
had made quite a lot of money off it.
This reached number five in New Zealand, by the way,
in 1994 when it was released.
Wow.
That's incredible.
So there you go.
And for the record, I do think that Taiwan should be independent of China.
He's made a stand.
He's made a stand.
Someone's growing a paper.
Do I have to read out the John Cena statement?
Please read out the statement.
Oh, God.
Okay.
So today's fact of the day is this song from Enigma is a drinking song from Taiwan.
That's effectively.
The elders drinking song after a hard day work.
This is what they'd sing as they'd begin to their drinking.
That we turn to innocent.
Such a banger.
Great song.
Great song.
Great song.
Great song.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Someone on Reddit spotted this saying, is this new?
And it's a T's and C's from a New Zealand post.
Okay.
Under packaging.
Let me read you this.
Who goes on the T's and C's?
I don't know.
People.
I'm thankful for the people that do it because every now and then they find something.
Yeah.
You are responsible for ensuring items are well packed and can withstand a 1.2 metre drop.
What?
That's like when you're at school and they're like,
here's an egg.
We're going to have a competition who can drop it from the highest point
and the egg not break.
And you'd wrap it in bubble wrap in a box.
Yeah, and then you'd have it suspended so when it hit,
it never really touched the sides of anything.
That was always a great one.
So a 1.5-metre drop.
1.2-metre drop.
I'm imagining.
Just higher than the desk.
Would you imagine?
Oh, yeah, that desk is probably about.
So it's waist height?
Or no, it'd be about, like, on me, it'd be.
Well, I'm 1.87, so just under halfway.
Oh, yeah, that's high.
No, down.
So would that be so that a postie or a courier could chuck it onto the porch?
Maybe drop it over a fence?
Or when they're sorting it, because it goes through all those machines,
they chuck it on there.
Oh, maybe it drops off.
Does it drop off a belt into a bag?
But then if it was dropping off into a bag full of other things,
that would cushion the blow a little bit versus it being launched onto your porch.
Because when you send something, you're like, oh, my God,
they pick it up and they just walk it over to the van.
Like a baby.
They carry it like a baby and they lie it down.
Swaddle it, tuck it in, put the blanket over it.
And then the whole way there, it's in the courier's arms
and he's driving over with one hand on the wheel,
one hand holding your package.
And then he gets to your house, he's like,
man, I can't be effing getting out.
Across the passenger seat, out the window, holding your package. And then he gets to your house, he's like, man, I can't be effing getting out. And just hefts it across the passenger seat,
out the window,
onto your porch.
So it says,
you're responsible for ensuring items are well packaged
and can withstand a 1.2 metre drop.
Acceptance of an item by NZ Post
does not free the sender
of this responsibility.
The sender of an item
is responsible for any damage
caused to any other sender's item
or our or others' property
if caused by inadequate packaging.
So if you're sending something liquid and you haven't packaged it right
and then it leaks through and ruins other things, that's you.
That's on you.
That's on you.
The sender of that item has to be responsible
or if you send something that breaks and it damages other people
because it wasn't packaged properly, that's on you.
That's on you.
That's why I don't put a return address on anything.
It's out there.
It's out there in the world.
It's not my problem now.
And if it gets lost, that's just best of luck to everybody.
So is that in new terms and conditions?
I don't know.
Or has that always been?
Well, somebody said, has this always been the case?
Oh, wow.
So I don't know.
I mean, it always pays if you're sending something fragile
to really package that well.
Like put it in a box.
Yeah.
Package the hell out of it.
But then, you know, bubble wrap's not good for the environment.
But shit, it did a good job.
It's a great, it's a great though.
Oh, it did a good job.
Are they not making bubble wrap that's, I don't know,
dolphin friendly, biodegradable, compostable now?
There's those, I know the packing peanuts they made,
the packing peanuts made of the stuff that you just put them in the garden,
they got wet and they dissolved to nothing
and there's that cardboard
now that's all like
looks like someone's
run through it
with mum's crimping scissors
and that's kind of
that's not as good
as bubble wrap
no
people are messaging
and saying that
this has always been
a terms and conditions
so it's not like
a new sneaky thing
they've put in
it's just that
somebody's noticed it
and that maybe
we haven't before.
That's been the T's and C's for years.
Probably 10 plus somebody messaged in.
So I feel like that's always been there
because of the drop into the shoot
into the mail sorting centre.
How big's that shoot?
Always amazed when I see the mail
sorting centre on the news.
Somebody said just actual popcorn
is great packing.
Popcorn?
Actual popcorn.
Edible popcorn.
Buttered?
I'd go unbuttered.
I'd go unbuttered.
I'd go a dry.
I'm salted.
I'd go a dry popcorn.
I worked for NZ Post in 2012, and that was in the T's and C's.
So it's been around a while.
Get to know your T's and C's.
Get to know.
Okay, right.
Okay.
So there's been a meter and a half drop this whole time.
Wow.
Who knew? Who knew?
Who knew?
Well, as we mentioned, Antarctica, a job hiring at the moment.
40 positions available.
Now, if this is a bit of you.
This is just at Scott Base.
Yeah.
How many people are at Scott Base?
That seems like a large percentage.
Huge turnover.
You know, they do the big, you go down for five months at a time.
And this is the next kind of.
Yeah, because you're stuck there over winter, right?
This is the intake, yeah.
Summer's got more in and outs, more flights.
Yeah.
So you've got till Sunday to register.
That's when applications close.
I know.
I haven't got my CV to get that.
You've got your LinkedIn.
Should I broadcast from down there?
Okay, so that's not on the job list.
So Antarctica New Zealand website is where you can register your interest.
Most roles require a commitment from August 2023 until Feb 2024.
Cool.
Applications close 5 o'clock on Sunday.
And there are all kinds of roles.
Tell me about them.
Well, they have this obviously science.
I'll pick which one I'll do.
They have like roles for scientists. I'll about them. Well, they have this obviously science. I'll pick which one I'll do. They have like roles for scientists.
I'll do it.
Engineers, mechanics, and anything.
Cooks, cleaners, electricians.
Tinkerers.
Tinkerers?
You could be a cleaner slash tinkerer.
This isn't working?
I'll be like, I'll give it a go and then pull it apart and make the problem worse.
Then have to take it to the engineers.
Right.
So the mean temperature in Antarctica, minus 19.8.
That's very mean.
Dips lower than minus 29 in winter.
But penguins.
But penguins.
And yeah, you work six days a week.
Six days a week?
Six days a week.
You only get one day off.
Well, sort of, let's talk dineros.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Let's talk money. How much are they paying? It. Not Robert. I don't know. Let's talk money.
How much are they paying?
It doesn't say.
It doesn't say.
Six days a week.
Because somebody I know knew someone that went there and they said that they saved lots
of money because there was kind of nothing to do.
Nothing to spend money on.
Like there's a little tuck shop, hey?
There's a tuck shop.
There's a canteen for like treats and whatnot.
Yeah.
But most of it's like all included.
I think half my suitcase would be Whittaker's.
That's a very good use of part.
And the other half, a puffer jacket.
A puffer jacket.
I assume, is it BYO puffer jacket or a ride?
I think they kick you out with, you know, those famous orange.
They probably kick you out with all the gear and the orange jacket.
Who do I talk to?
It would never get cold enough or near cold enough,
thank you, global warming,
in Auckland to warrant one of those big puffers.
But, you know, for the trip down to Ruapehu or maybe the occasional, you know,
family ski trip to Queenstown, I wouldn't mind one of those big puffers.
Those Antarctica puffers.
Oh, yeah, they're heavy duty.
The Scott Bass uniform is hot.
Yeah.
Quite literally both hot and hot.
See, you'd love it if you got to tinker and be a tinkerer down there.
Yes.
Like a handyman.
Correct.
A Scott-based handyman.
But you don't like people.
This is the problem.
If everybody was chill and just kept to themselves, that would be fine.
But if on day one I automatically discovered somebody I despise
because they ate too loud in the mess hall,
I don't know what could happen over five months.
I'd systematically try to mentally destroy them,
which worries me.
Which worries me if there's no escape from them.
You've got to be there for each other
because, you know, you're all in it together.
There's a small group of people.
You've got to get on.
The ad on the lotto ad
where he buys the ticket before he goes
but doesn't find out the results
because they've been isolated.
Yeah.
And then on the last day,
everybody's bought in with a mallopuff and then he wins, presumably. They don't read out the last number, but been isolated. Yeah. And then on the last day everybody's bought in with a Mallow Puff
and then he wins
presumably,
they don't read out
the last number
but they win
and they're like,
well we own a portion
of the ticket
and he's like,
actually,
no you don't.
A Mallow Puff
was never a fair buy-in
to a $12 million
lotto win.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I hope.
Would you even get to,
there's the internet.
There's internet.
Absolutely,
there's internet.
Yeah.
Okay, good.
Well,
you've got till Sunday if you want to pack the job in and apply.
Again, no radio announcers needed.
I just thought I'd probably have to run this past my wife.
Yes, because you've got a wife and two kids. Yeah, that should be on the list.
If I just disappear in August and re-emerge in February.
Quite hairy.
But what a time.
You have a free puffer jacket, though.
I will have a puffer jacket.
Unless on the last day
they're like,
oh no, you leave those here.
I'll be like,
well this was a waste of time.
Okay, if you had to rate,
review or marry
Fletch, Vaughn or Hayley,
what one would it be?
Okay, I would marry Hayley.
I would have sex.
Wait, which one is it?
No, no, no, no.
It's only rate, review, marry.
Oh, okay.
No comment.
I would have sex with the podcast.
I don't know how that would work.
Give us a sexy little review though.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
