We're just happy with the woman I love Hello, welcome to the Fletch Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It is thanks to McCafe, grab a rich, smooth, barista-made coffee. I believe we were talking about this yesterday, weren't we? Why, how did we get into the all-black showering at half-time? Oh, you said you're going to the mall to get lasered. Oh, I get naked. It's weird that at a mall where there are so many people,

that there's someone in a room naked. People are always naked, and then you said, Vaughan, in stadiums, we're up top and the All Blacks are downstairs. Tens of thousands of people and there's a whole lot of naked athletes underneath. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we question whether or not the All Blacks have a shower at half time.

I also believe you made some claims. I made some claims about some members of the All Blacks and maybe the size of their manhood. And I said, these are not questions you're allowed to ask in All Blacks interviews. I know, I know. And so we left it up to the listener's imagination.

Yeah, absolutely. Well, I have received some communication and she will be delighted because she has said that she is a big fan of the podcast. So, hello Anonymous. is a big fan of the podcast so hello anonymous hello anonymous wag of the all blacks. Do they like wag?

Oh because I know some people don't Not everybody loves wag. Wives and girlfriends Also what if you're a boyfriend of one of the all blacks? You're a bag You're a bag You're a dirty little secret Yes you are You are a bag You're a bag You're a bag No you're a You're a dirty little secret Yes you are You're a secret

You are a bag We keep you in the bag It's got to be a gay all black hey Statistically alone Statistically alone In the time of the all blacks There has to have been I might ask this

What's that government department Statistics New Zealand To give I need a statistician To tell me What percentage Of the all blacks Have been homosexual

Would have likely been gay? I don't know. There's a lot of factors to take into that, though. You would need an absolute PhD of stats to work that out. Yeah, totally. And, like, culture of how many homosexual players would make it all the way to the All Blacks, given the culture around how, you know. Anyway, so, well, I'm talking about one of the confirmed straight All Blacks. One of the wags. One of the wags. Okay. No, no, no. Oh, one of the confirmed straight all blacks.

One of the wags. One of the wags. Okay. Oh, one of the, okay. One of the partners. I said it again, didn't I? Who is in their own person and should be defined as such. Yes.

Not reliant on the position of their partner. I'm an ally. I just want that for the record. You really are, aren't you? Yeah, you are an ally. I think you don't point out you're an ally when you're a real ally, though. No, you just be an ally. I was want that for the record you are an ally I think you don't point out you're an ally when you're a real ally though

no no you just you be an ally for brownie points you be an ally I feel like I was like vocally I'm an ally but like behind the you know

behind the curtain I would be horrendous misogynistic I would embrace it I'd love to be a wag I'd love to be a wag well this this independent

wahine toa who happens to be wedded to uh an all-black wanted to chime in and she said that i'm you know big fan of the podcast i love you guys were you shocked when you received this message i felt compelled to defend my husband's honor because we were making all sorts of rumorsours up about the All Blacks. No, we were wondering. Wondering? We were wondering. Wondering about the shower thing. Well, we do have confirmation. Direct from an All Blacks mouth, no shower at halftime.

Because I also thought about that. When I have a shower or a spa, I get very zapped of energy. Like, do you get that? It depends on how hot it is because it can put you to sleep. Yeah, if it was cold. You'd have to have a cold one at halftime. But if you were playing in the middle of winter and it was cold and you were a bit wet and muddy, I'd want a hot shower just to like.

No, because then I'd go back out into the stadium and be like, I just want to go home and cuddle up in a blankie and watch a movie. Yeah, fresh socks. Yes, you can't do it. You've got a whole half plate. Fresh socks, some deodorant. Yes. I don't think they do any of that.

Smelling salts wake you up a little bit. You're allowed to snort salts at halftime. Probably not. I don't think they do any of that. Smelling salts. I think they just sit down. Wake you up a little bit. You're allowed to snort salts at halftime. Probably not. I don't think they're doing, definitely not bath salts. So they don't have a shower? They're just like zombies. So we have direct comms via the partner, via me, and now here I am, that they don't have a shower.

We also have confirmation of another salacious rumour that I was sort of chucking around yesterday about the size of the All Blacks' manhood and I called it an acorn in a bush. Confirmation, that is not the case, is all I'll say. Confirmation, not the case. So congratulations to that anonymous All Black who we did talk about yesterday and whose name I mispronounced.

ZM's Fletchmore and Hayley. What an absolute superstar show today for you. Holy moly. Thank you. That's very nice of you to say. Here he is. That's very nice of you to say. First up, Vaughan Smith. Here I am.

Well, so am I in this list of superstars? Because do you remember there was a New Zealand film called Home by Christmas starring Martin Henderson?

And there's a moment and I walk behind him. So you were an extra. I'm just going, if we're talking movie stars You're looking at one You're more of a movie star Than Vaughn Well actually I was in Critically Panned

Gary of the Pacific As a motivational spokesperson So Oh no So that's actually A lead That's a minor role In a movie

I was in Baby Done and I was a pregnant midwife for I think about 30 seconds. How many words though? Probably about 20. Vaughan, did you have more than 20 words? I spoke very fast, so probably. Okay, so Vaughan's probably just... I mean, should we pull up Gary of the Pacific and Baby Done? Yeah, we'll put them side by side.

And have a vanity off. Well, no, those are our two big superstars on the show this morning. And our third superstar that we can't say. We're not even allowed to give clues as a Hootie third. Yes. Arguably biggest star of the lot. Eight o'clock this morning. Were they in the Sunday theatre movie about the Tangiwai disaster?

Were you in that? I was in that. That was a hell of a film. I was in the carriage. I got to drown in a pool in Avalon Studios. Did you? You got to drown in a lahar? Yeah.

Fantastic. Yeah, it was really fun. How did they make up the lahar? Was it just muddy water? It was very clear in my recollection of it. Yeah, no, it was just literally a pool at Avalon Studios, and they put a carriage in it, and we just went swimming. Did you have any last words before you drowned in the Tangiwai? Help, no, it was just literally a pool at Avalon Studios and they put a carriage in it and we just went swimming. Did you have any last words before you drowned in the

tiny wave? Help, help, help me help. Yeah, yeah, I mean, it wasn't scripted. Oh, right. Like, I know the subtitles would have said woman. Woman. Help, help, help me help. Probably. I made them all up.

Okay, well, big superstar at 8 o'clock this morning We can't give you any more details But make sure you're listening at 8 I don't know why there are these rules We have to follow Has this superstar been in a movie? Yes

Don't give away clues Don't give away clues Don't give away clues Coming up on the show The top 6 Monkeypox. Yeah. It needs a new name.

The World Health Organization have said that they're going to rename it because- I hadn't even thought this, but maybe that's from my privileged position of a white male. Yeah. I hadn't thought about the racial connotations of monkeypox and the associated geographic origins of West Africa. Yeah. Like, that's wild. But the World Health Organization is like, I think we need to change this.

Yeah. So I've got the top six names I'd go for. All right. Coming up on the show as well, there's a brand new reality show based on one of the world's most popular TV shows. We'll talk about that soon. Now, silly little poll on the way as well. But next.

Our own faces are ruining our day. Great. Great. Every day. Every day. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Okay, be honest.

When you're on a Zoom and say it's just like you and someone else, who are you watching? Me. You can always see who you're looking at. It's like a Skype with your parents. You can always see who's looking at themselves. Yeah. I watch myself almost predominantly.

Or maybe not predominantly, but I'm like, check, listen, listen, listen, check, listen, listen, listen. Like I'm constantly looking at myself. And, you know, when you go to like speaker view and then suddenly you become small. I can't handle it. I've got to be on gallery. So I'm present at all times.

Well, apparently. When we did Have You Been Paying Attention From Home, which is PTSD for both of us, they kept saying, I'll put it on speaker view. So whoever's telling the joke or saying something will pop up big. No one did. No one wanted that. And you could tell it too because people will be looking and all of a sudden their eye would be in the corner

where they were in the talking order. Or the giveaways, the touch. Like mine is like when we're having a meeting and I'll just like be zhuzhing, zhuzhing, looking. Just playing with the hair. Yeah, looking at this sort of jawline and having a little, you know, like constantly touching because you're reviewing yourself. Well, apparently this is not very good for our mental health.

Apparently staring at your own face for too long is making us very, very depressed. So the way they did this is wild. They used eye tracking technology to examine how often we were looking at ourselves. As you say, glance down to the corner, having a look, having a look. And then how our mood went throughout the length of the Zoom. Right. And the more that you looked at yourself, the worse and worse your mood got. Oh, wow.

Just confronting your own Zoom fat face. How is this when we work in a studio with giant pictures of ourselves? This has taken some adjustment for us because we've all picked, oh, God, I'm looking at you. It's just so, yeah. Constantly staring us in the face. I mean, you're out of focus. I've absolutely screwed up my nose. No, that's just his face.

I've got a thumb face. Yeah, you do have a face. He's got blurry features. Always out of focus. Anyway, apparently on this getting more and more angry and depressed the longer we look at our own face it gets worse if you consume alcohol

on a zoom which I would say I've done most of the time you're sipping on something behind the thing well not if you're at work but no not on our breakfast zooms but yeah so if you're drinking and looking at yourself on Zoom, apparently it's only going to lead to a worse day and a worse mood.

So what, should you turn off your camera? Yeah, turn off your camera. Or just make yourself tiny in the grid? Well, don't turn off your camera. Yeah, just like put it on the speaker view so that you're only looking at... The person speaking. The person you're speaking to. And then when you speak, just close your eyes?

And when you speak, just close your eyes? And when you speak, just close your eyes. And your day will be a lot better. It'll be a lot better because you don't have to look at it. It's just like, especially on your phone, when the angle is so bad and you open it up on the camera and you're like, God, one, two, three, four, five chins? Really? I read yesterday that the new iPhone that they're going to release,

and when do they normally release? Around September, October. September, yeah. It's going to have insane front cameras. I'm like, do we need better cameras? More defined. More definition.

The worst is when it's down under you like on a table and you get it and gravity's pulling your face down and you're like, how did I get that much skin on my face? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley, silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole,

silly little pole. Well, pole, silly little pole. Well, today's silly little pole about sleeping. Do you sleep on your side or do you sleep on your back? Now, my option's not there. I'm a front... Tummy. I'm a tummy sleeper. Are you a psychopath?

You're a tummy... Like that. It is. Why is it a psychopath way to sleep? I do it every now and then if I'm restless and, you know, you're sort of like, oh, where do I want to be? I go between front tummy sleeping and side. No, but if I'm restless on my side,

I go to my back. It's never to the tummy. The tummy's, where do you put your head? No, but every now and then, that is nice. It is nice. If you're lying like to the side. On the grass in summertime.

Yes. On your tummy. Or at the beach on your tummy, but not for like a full blown all night sleep because where do you put your head to the side like that? How do you not wake up with like a paralysed neck? No, I've got a delicious memory foam pillow. Oh my God, on a pillow?

Yeah. If I lie on my stomach, there's no pillow present. Oh no, you have to have a pillow. No, because then it pops your head up and in the side. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What, you never want to walk again? Also, don't worry about the head. Where's your testicles and your breasticles going?

When you're on your tummy. Well, the testicles just pop the legs open a little bit and the testicles will find their way to freedom. Yeah, they find their little pocket. Yeah. Yeah, on the chest it's not great. I would imagine the breasts. Oh, yeah. Because they've got to split to the side. That gets a bit tiresome. I'm a side sleeper through and through. If I sleep on my back, I'm too aware. The ears are too exposed.

Yeah, I don't. There's something about sleeping on my back that I just cannot do. It's corpse-like. Yeah. Yeah. I've never thought about it like that, but it is. When I sleep on my back, I'm too aware. The ears are too exposed. Yeah, I don't. There's something about sleeping on my back that I just cannot do. It's corpse-like. Yeah. Yeah. I've never thought about it like that, but it is. When I sleep on my back is where I hear everything and I'm like... Because on your side, one whole half of your hearing is blocked. I know, and that's, I love that. I love that. And the other one's pointed towards the roof.

This way you're like all open to the room. Well, what's our silly little poll saying today? 88% of respondees sleep on their arm side. Oh, yeah. Okay. 12% on the back. Caitlin says the reason being if I sleep on my back, I have nightmares.

Oh. Oh, I didn't know that was a thing. Neither did I. Nikita, on my side because my cat sleeps under the covers on top of my right arm, and I'm too polite to say no. There have been many a physio visit, and I'm pretty sure my schmole cat's been preferred, and my schmole cat's preferred sleeping position

is why I have to go to the physio. Yeah. I think her cat might not be as schmole as she's been. Well, your mind's 6kg, so you feel that on my back. Yeah. Vinny said, fractured my back at the age of 22, have slept on my back. Yeah. Vinny said, fractured my back at the age of 22. Have slept on my back ever since.

Oh, yeah. I had to try to sleep on my back when I hurt my back. Yeah. And it was so hard. Like, it would take me ages to get to sleep. Yeah, there's something like cuddly about being on your side. It's fetal. It's fetal. It's fetal position.

It is far more fetal than you can get on your back or your stomach. And Vinny also says, I sleep with, on my back, no pillow, and an electric blanket on three all night. I hope Vinny lives in the coldest part of New Zealand. No. Vinny's slow cooking himself. You're like a casserole on a sundae at a slow cooker. Vinny on the spit.

Shred him up. Just run a at a slow cooker. Yeah, maybe I have to pull him to spit. Shred him up. Just run a fork down his leg. Yeah, yum. Slow cook Vinny. Hayley says, sleep on the side all night. Great for spooning, great for spreading out. All around versatile position. Get hot, kick a leg out.

Too cold, intensify the fetal position. Yeah. She knows. Vic says, I always intend to sleep on my side and stay still, but I'm a constant position. Yeah. She knows. Vic says, I always intend to sleep on my side and stay still, but I'm a constant roller. Yeah. She must be annoying

me to sleep with. Stomach all the way, says Christy. Yeah. Who wishes stomach to be represented. Josh, I sleep on my side. Sleeping on my back

feels a little too much like I'm already laying in a coffin. Yeah, I get that. Corpse position. Do you reckon you can get on your side in your coffin if you want? Yeah, we get that. Corpse position. Do you reckon you can get on your side in your coffin if you want? Side saddle.

Zoe loves sleeping. I wonder if you could buy side coffins. Yeah. I'm a side sleeper. It would be like an ordinary coffin except on the side. It'll be skinnier and taller. Yeah. But if you open the lid from the top still, they'd have to slot you in.

It folds. It opens and the handles are on the side. Yeah. That could work. Okay. So today's Seller Little Pole, far more people on their sides than their back. All right, next on the show, there is a brand new reality show coming. Just what we need.

Says the host of a reality show. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Says the host of a reality show Well Netflix have announced That they are recruiting participants For a brand new reality show Based on the hit show Squid Game And this will require 456 recruits

Vying for 4.56 Million dollars What? Yeah, over 10 episodes. Where's this money? How much money? Isn't this crazy? So this will be the largest cast and lump sum cash prize in reality TV history.

How much money did you just say? $4.56 million. Because like the show. They had a million dollars for every person in there, and it started out with 456 participants In the Squid Game So players will compete through a series Of games inspired by the original show

Plus surprising new additions Yeah and basically they'll get eliminated But they won't kill them I was going to say it feels like a human rights violation This will have to be good to beat MrBeasts YouTube and MrBeasts if you're not heard of him Of all the people It feels like a human rights violation. This will have to be good to beat Mr. Beast's. YouTube and Mr. Beast's, if you're not heard of him, of all the people that my children watch on YouTube,

Mr. Beast's and Mark Rober, the guy, the engineer, that built the squirrel obstacle course and the glitter bomb thing for people stealing his mail, he's my favourite. But Mr. Beast's content is phenomenal. He did a reality Squid Games. He did a Squid Game, yeah. He had $ 456,000 American dollars

of his own money. And he made, he built sets. Built sets. It was incredible. Yeah. Yeah. He does such like

large scale things. Who's paying for all of his stuff? He, it's just the people who gets on board as sponsors and stuff. He just puts all the money

back into his content creation. All his like ad revenue because so many millions of people watch his videos, the ad revenue is intense. Wow. And then he just puts it back into his things. And he gives away so much money to Sharon. Shout out, shout out Mr. Beast.

Mr. Beast, great guy. So this was 25th of November, 2021, that his version of Squid Game came out. 258 million views. So he would have made that money back even though he gave away... In YouTube views. Yeah, wow.

Yeah, totally. So participants, and I'm imagining they'll get cast from all over the world, right? Netflix. It would be the smart thing to do is have at least one or two from New Zealand. How are they going to get it though?

Are they going to go into Subways and stuff with a man in a suit and kind of find him that way? I thought you meant the sandwich shops. Footlong meatball. Footlong meatball. Footlong meatball. Double meat. Double meat.

We've got to compare. Slap. Participants will need to be at least 21 years old. They must speak English and be available for up to four weeks in early 23.

So early next year for filming. Oh, English. So boring. Do you think that it's... I think to be in the... Running to win this $4.56 million, you should have to learn Korean.

Yeah. The language is part of it. I don't know. Do you think it's just kind of taking it too far, like taking it away from the show? Also, how do you... The thrill of the show is that they died. They died, yeah.

People just promote the show and keep us thinking about it, because it's announced that it's going to be happening. It'll be a couple of years until we get Squid Game season two. Oh, yeah. So this will be the interim. Tied us over.

Yeah. Tied us over? You're right. Tied us over. Tied. Tied us over. Tied. Tied us over.

Tied. I believe it's tived. Tived. Tived or O'Brien. Tived. Tived or O'Brien. Tived. Tived or O'Brien is said and named. Tied. Tied you over.

It's not tithe, is it? Like the church money giving thing. It's not the case. Rest assured, tie me over is correct. Tie. T-I-E. Yeah. Enough to tie me over.

It's a common misconception that the phrase tie me over is actually pronounced tide me over. Some even go so far as to say the tide refers to the ebb and flow of hunger. But I'm reading a different one that says it's tide. To tide someone over is derived from a seafaring term, as in the actual tide. Okay, well, so we're both right. Should we do a silly little poll? Tide or tie me over?

Sailors would sometimes depend on the tide to carry them over obstacles. So you'd say tide me over. Tide me over. Tide me over versus tide. Tie me over. Oh, look, I don't know. Well, either way, it's going to get us through to the next season of Squid Games. He does. Sit down in case you don't already know.

Pack up your shit and go. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM.

We're going to give you a category, and for everyone in that category, in the 20-second time limit, you win $50 cash. What did we give away yesterday, $550? Yeah, so much money. So much money. We've also got a huge cash prize if you can be on the top of our leaderboard

at the end of the week. The activator is just minutes away. From the panoramic ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hi there, monkeypox. Yep, that's right. Dealing with one pandemic and another one's kind of like,

hey, keep an eye on me. I'm snigging up. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I'm getting there. My numbers are up. My numbers are up, baby. It's like a rookie coming up through the ranks. The World Health Organization did say this is nothing to worry about, but they did also say that about COVID. Yeah.

In the early days of COVID? They did because I Googled it. That's right, because they didn't want to class it as a pandemic or a – Yeah. What's the one just below a pandemic? Epidemic? Epidemic. Yeah.

Too early. They didn't want to panic people, did they? Yeah. God, monkey pox. I didn't want to panic people, did they? Yeah. God, monkey pox. I'm just had a little Google. Oh, it's horrible. It looks horrible. As someone who had adult chicken pox,

these blisters are like dark and way bigger. So are they, I always ask, are they a herpes strain? They are of the pox family, which is all linked back to chicken pox. Your shingles. Your clusters of bugs. But a smallpox vaccine prevents monkeypox. Monkeypox. And

a lot of Europe have just ordered a big bunch of doses. Because smallpox was eradicated because of vaccines. That's how it worked. Or thoughts and prayers. We're not sure worked. Who knew? Or thoughts and prayers. We're not sure if it was the vaccine or thoughts and prayers. I'm pretty sure it was science and the vaccine.

Okay. A rebrand is being proposed for monkeypox because of the racial connotation. When I first heard this, I thought it was because of monkeys. But I was like, you don't hear chickens bitching, do you? They've been dealing with it for ages. Or swines. Yeah, swine with the flu. They just put their head down.

I mean, they did. And avians on a whole. When they created the flu, they didn't. You're like, oh, that's a bit unfair. Don't name it after. Don't name it. Achoo. Name it after us.

What's wrong with you? So they are looking for a rebrand. They said they'll get onto this. The top six better names for monkey pox. They said they'll get onto this. The top six better names for monkey pox. I'll take care of it right now. Number six, chimpanzee pox. This is from the other types of monkeys that just want chimps taken down a peg. You know, when you think of like cute, funny monkeys, you probably think of chimpanzees having a cup of tea and smoking a durry in a zoo. The old chimp tea parties. Starring in movies. Wild to think we used to make them smoke and put them in movies?

We didn't make them smoke. We bought them smokes but they were the ones that kept putting them in their mouths. Yeah, okay, fair call. Dunstan was a... Dunstan's Day Out was the one where...

Dunstan checks in. Yeah. Didn't he work at the hotel? What are you talking about? Did he have Tim Curry in it? The movie, Dunstan. Dunstan was a chimpanzee in a series of movies.

Airbud was the Labrador that went to space, played basketball and did all that stuff. Right. Dunstan was the monkey that did in a series of movies. Airbud was the Labrador that went to space, played basketball and did all that stuff. Right. Dunstan was the monkey that did the same sort of thing. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six better names for monkey pox. Human pox.

We're the spreaders. Can't recall the last time I saw a monkey protesting vaccination rules or lockdowns or anything. Or travelling internationally. Human pox. Human pox. We're to blame. Although we can get all of these pox. I feel like we're just the poxiest bloody species there is. Yeah,x. Human pox. We're to blame. Although we can get all of these pox.

I feel like we're just the poxiest bloody species there is. Yeah, we're very poxy. Dotty, aren't we? Number four on the list of the top six better names for monkey pox. Spa pox. Because most of these stories of it spreading seem to have a central location of a spa. Listen to this line. Where was this line?

It was so funny. They were so reluctant to say gay men. We all know that they were so reluctant. Oh, here. The person with the monkey pox arrived in London from Nigeria on the 4th of May. The virus had already been

spreading for some time, predominantly among men who have sex with men. Men who have sex with men. So reluctant to say gay men. We'd label it. Yeah. We don't want to raise the ire of the gays. Better just say men who have sex with men.

Yeah. There have been some, like two or three stories of gay sex saunas. Yeah. Oh, saunas, not spas. No, not spa. Not like a day spa. Not like when you go to East Day Spa. Yeah.

It's the same thing, but with swings. And steam rooms. Not like a day spa. Not like when you go to East Day Spa. Yeah, because it's them. It's the same thing, but with swings. And steam rooms. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And holes in the wall. Yeah, yeah. Saunas? God, they need to patch those up. Is it a sauna?

Is it an infrared sauna or an old steam sauna? Is there even a sauna at gay saunas? Or have they just adopted the name? I don't know. Because it's hot. Sure. Because it's hot and sweaty. Yeah, yeah.

Everybody gets sweaty. Number three on the list of the top six better names for monkey pox, monkey scabs. Because maybe the problem is the pox in the name, not the monkey.

No, it's the monkey. Scrap. Scrap number three. On to number two. Cosby pox, Spacey pox, or Prince Andrew pox. Those are all really ruined names.

No one's going to go into bat for Bill Cosby, are they? Oh, I don't call it Cosby Pox. What about Dr. Bill Cosby? Who's had his honorary doctorate stripped after a series of date rape situations. And number one on the list of the top six

better names for monkey pox, pigeon pox. No one likes pigeons. Oh, no one. Everyone hates pigeons. Yeah, put it on the pigeons. Yeah, put it on the pigeons or... I don't know what... Grotty. Seagulls have had hates pigeons. No one likes pigeons. Yeah, put it on the pigeons. Yeah, put it on the pigeons or... I don't know. Grotty.

Seagulls have had it too good for too long, too. Sparrows? No, I live with sparrows. Sparrows are mega. They're dealing with cats. If pigeons are rats, sparrows are mice. Also, they're both pains in the arse. Yuck, little birds.

Hey, pigeons. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. The Retro Petrol Time Machine returns at 8 o'clock this morning. Chance you to win free fuel, all thanks to Gal. And we work out when we do this competition, the average tank of gas at the moment is $152 New Zealand dollars. That is a lot.

Every day that goes up. It does. Every day. We started at like $144. Yeah. And now. It's nuts. Will you imagine what it costs to fuel, to fill up an Air New Zealand Dreamliner?

Now, these are the big boys, the big planes that fly to LA. Well, Air New Zealand CEO, Greg Foran, has told us. He's done that classic mum and dad thing where they tell you how much something costs so you stop whinging about it. Yeah. You know when you want them to buy you something or you costs so you stop whinging about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know when you want them to buy you something or you want them to take you somewhere

and they're like, well, it costs this much. We're not made of money. Yeah. But I want to go. I want to go to the True Bliss concert. Do you know how much it costs

for you to see Joe Cotton? How much? $144. Jesus, was it? It was never that much. No, I don't think it was that much. It was never that much. I think they were like $35. Yeah? No, I don't think it was that much. It was never that much.

I think they were like $35. Yeah, I think it was Koha. Pop into Sounds, you'll probably catch them for free if they're promoting it. Well, Greg Foran, the Air New Zealand CEO, has revealed that it costs to fill up an Air New Zealand 787-900 Dreamliner Oh, I can tell I'm not going to like this already. to fly from Auckland to Los Angeles costs $144,000 in fuel. That's a thousand times as much to fill up a car.

And then is that a one-way trip? We have to fill up again when we get there to get back. So for each leg. And he's not saying if he's getting the docket at the supermarket and using that six cents off. You should wait till Wednesday. That's your 10 cents off. Well, you should wait for a long weekend.

They probably do a deal. Yeah, a lot of them do a deal. So like a return trip is like a quarter of a million dollars. Yeah. Is that right? So if the average seat, what, 240 seats or 250 seats? I don't know how many seats are on. On a Dreamliner?

And obviously like business class people are paying more. So say, for example, $144,000 to fill up the plane. If divided by 250 people, that's $576 a person. Okay, that's cheap. To go to LA? Yeah, but then there's like, you've got to pay for the pilots. The staff. But there's also cargo underneath there.

The food. Yeah, there's food. The actual plane itself wasn't free. The landing fees. Oh yeah, the plane's not free. You've got to get new tires every now and then, don't you? Yeah. Because they hit the ground, they go...

Those little bottles of gin and bourbon. God, yeah, yeah, yeah. I still reckon they... People go through. They were pouring from big bots. Oh, were they? On the plane I was on recently. They were pouring from the big bots.

I'm like, well, that makes way more sense than having so many of those little bots. So you reckon they've watered it down like they do, you know, in some party countries. They've watered it down. Yeah, well, that makes way more sense than having so many of those little blocks. So you reckon they've watered it down like they do, you know, in some party countries. They've watered it down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or it's not actual booze. Yeah, you've had like eight voggers.

You're like, this ain't working. You wake up, you're blind. It's ethanol. Because it's ethanol and you've made it in the backyard. It was some of Greg Foran's plane gas that they put in a Bacardi bottle. Yeah. Pour it into a bucket on. Copenhagen Beach. Well, you might not have a Dreamliner plane to fill,

but if you've got a car and you need some free fuel, 8 o'clock is the next chance for you to play a retro petrol time machine. Play. Sid Ams, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Men are not having a good time looking in the mirror, apparently. Of all generations, L'Oreal have teamed with one poll to do a bit of a study asking men how they feel about themselves.

Millennials, it's not good news for the millennials. Well, I'm an ex-annual. I'm in the middle. Ex-annual? No, upper crust millennial. Upper crust millennial. I'm full blown. Jared, is he a millennial? Are you a millennial? Low-end millennial.

What are you, Jared? What's your thing? You're low-end millennial? Are you a millennial? No. You're Gen Z. Low-end millennial. Low-end? Or what are you, Jared? What's your thing? You're low-end millennial. You're millennial. Yeah, could be. 93? I don't know what bracket that's in.

Yeah, that's millennial. Okay. How do you feel about yourself? Yeah, great. Super good. Yeah, you're millennial. That's right, son. Keep pushing it down.

Keep pushing it down. 81. 81 to 96 is millennial. Okay, that's right. Keep pushing it down. Keep pushing it down. 81. 81 to 96 is millennials. Okay. And so what's the problem? We're not happy. They're not happy with themselves. Apparently, 78% of millennials,

millennials, millennial men are the most self-conscious about their physical appearance. 78% of them have some qualms with the way they look. Well, what are you going to do about it? Well, maybe you should give us a compliment. Later on in the study, the way that they say looking and feeling

their best, the way to improve the way that they see themselves is by compliments. Oh my God. Okay, Jared. Hayley's got a compliment for you. Jared got a big compliment at the weekend at Armageddon. An American Games commentator said, dude, power stash. Yeah.

And he was just like, yeah, big power stash. It's a fantastic stash. Yeah, it's a pretty girthy stash. You've got a very sort of sprightly physique. You know, at any moment you could just run like an elk. You know? Like if there was someone on the show that needed to climb into an air conditioning duct.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's definitely me. That'd be Jared. If we were Ocean's Eleven, he'd be the guy in the box, you know, who would then backflip onto the pile of money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's you. I mean, yeah. I don't know if he's a compliment. He's not a clowny, but he's an absolutely crucial part of the yeah. I don't know if these are compliments. He's not a clowny, but he's an absolutely

crucial part of the team. I don't know if it's a compliment to say you're so small you could fit in an air conditioning dart. All I've ever wanted is to be small enough to wiggle up

an air conditioning dart. Okay, right. You've got a great set of brows. I have been complimented on those before. Did you just hear Carwin laughing at that?

Carwin? What's wrong with his brows? Oh my God, did you hear that snigger from the... This is why men have insecurities. You women are laughing at them. No, I just really felt like Hayley was just like reaching. I'm not reaching.

I'm not reaching. I'm just trying not to overtly flirt with my workmate on here. It'll be a bit full on. It's a fine balance. Alright, let's move to you, Von Smith. No, no, no. Don't need them. No, he does. Don't want them. Don't want them. Don't need them. Nose on you. Got a great nose. I do have a fine balance. All right, let's move to you, Vaughan Smith. No, no, no, don't need them. No, he does. Don't want them. You're a wonderful nose on you.

Got a great nose. I do have a great nose. I'll take that. A little butter nose. A little butter nose. That beard creates some kind of jawline situation. I don't know if it's true or if it's not, but it's working for you. Hides all matter of sins.

And you're not too hairy on the arms. Good arms. Good arms. Good arms. All right, Fletch. I don't need them. My God, look, the nose on this guy as well. I mean, it's a beautiful nose. It's great.

It's strong, isn't it? That of a god. Yeah. Stop. This is weird. I mean, just a fantastic eyes. I don't need them. You know how I feel about this man's body.

It is a chiseled marble. It's popping off. It's popping off at the moment. Anyway, I think I've helped these stats somewhat. I think you have, yeah. So that's just what they need. Like just constant affirmation,

I guess. Yeah, apparently men are checking their appearance. Men of all generations checking their appearance three times a day and having a little scrutinise. Don't do that.

Don't be so hard on yourself. We've had a pandemic. Of course, absolutely. We've had a pandemic yeah of course absolutely we've had a pandemic and you know they keep making new flavours of things

and chips and lollies oh my god it's not our fault stop with the flavours stop with the lumps how many more lumps do we need

stop with the flavours and stop with the remixes where they smash two foods together that were already barely resistible as one and now there's two of them

I mean you're all hot and we're lucky to have you. I love you. Except for some of you. Except for some of you. Some of you are just junk. A-holes. Some of you are trash.

But a lot of you are just gorgeous. Some of you are a waste of cosmic dust. Next on the show, Taika Waititi, Chris Evans from the movie Lightyear. year. Well, it's out today. The brand new Disney Pixar movie Lightyear starring Chris Evans, Taika Waititi. And they join us on the phone. Good morning.

Whereabouts in the world? You guys are not in the same room. You're in different spots. Whereabouts are we reporting in from? Los Angeles. New York. New York. That's a very healthy house plan as well there, Chris. Do you have someone water that while you're away? Yeah, I do actually.

It's beautiful. Not too much water. You guys are using up your four minutes pretty fast. It's coming through. I was just about to text you, Chris, and say with all of the New Zealand press, it's a of true i was i was just about to text you chris and say like with all of the new zealand press it's a little bit like me like introducing you to my family everyone it's like everyone is either like my mum or like my brothers or my cousins

oh hey tiger how's it going and i'm like like yeah hey you're like oh you, have you met any famous people? How's it working with Captain America? Think you're a Flash guy now, do you? Chris Evans, you were 14 years old when Toy Story came out. Do you have any memory of seeing it in the cinema? Yeah, of course, of course. Probably a couple of times. When I was 14, I still really wanted to be an animator.

You know, I mean, I splintered off into acting maybe when I was 15 or 16. But at that age, animation was a big part of my life and I just thought that's what I was going to be doing. So Toy Story kind of kicked the door down in terms of this new way of making movies. So yeah, absolutely. It left a mark.

And it's even changed a bit since then, the CGI ability of animation. Yep. Yeah. Taika, I've got to ask, when are you going to stop working with the world's most attractive people? Ryan Reynolds, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal.

You're a very attractive man, but I am concerned. Pedro Pascal's in that list? You don't think he's attractive? He's a good looking man. That dude is. Just because you put a moustache on something doesn't make it attractive. They had to hide him under a helmet.

They invented the whole character to hide that beautiful, beautiful face because it was so distracting. But yeah, if you want to work with some ugly people, we're more than available to just stand in the background and take it away from them. Did you guys work in separate locations at the moment?

Was it like that when you were recording your voice parts as well? Were you actually all together at any stage? No, no, you do it all separately. I mean, I haven't even met half his cast. Really? I refuse to. I mean, I haven't even met half his cast. Really? I refuse to. I don't want to. I don't even want to see him.

I'm pissed I'm doing it. You just wanted to do this without anybody. You were just like, yeah, cut off his camera at least. If I can just never see a person throughout my day, it's a good thing. I don't know. And you guys are radio. It doesn't mean why we have to leave to see you. I know we should be.

Why are we doing this? It's going to be a phone call. Yeah, it could have been a phone call. It used to be back in the day it was a jet trip to Los Angeles to sit face to face for four minutes and then fly all the way home and now we're doing it over the moon. Even this feels too much. I feel like it should have just been a straight, you're on one end of the phone,

we're on the other end of the phone. Where do you feel? This is what it's like, the audiences these days, to a shorter attention span. You know, this already feels too long. Yeah. We've only had our four minutes and it's too long. Back to the plan.

If we could just get one TikTok from you each with our remaining time and then we'll just be done here. Super concise 15 second TikTok.

Is it too early to be talking sequels? I mean, I'm not sure how that works with Pixar. I don't know. Yeah,

that's a bad idea. I feel like they never even tell anyone and they just get to work on it and then it just comes out. We need you back in a voicing booth, not seeing anybody remotely human. This is the sequel. Awesome.

Well, our four minutes is up and it has been a pleasure. Oh, well, that's our time. It's been a pleasure. Lightyear, out now. Thanks, guys. See time. It's been a pleasure. Lightyear, out now. Thanks, guys. See ya. Sorry about them, Chris. Don't you apologise for us.

What did they talk about? Talk about us. Play ZM's Flex Vodaneli. Play ZM. Big announcement and a special guest on the show. Huge, huge announcement. Huge. It's not Donald Trump. No. Huge. Imagine her guest on the show. Huge, huge announcement. Huge. It's not Donald Trump.

No. Huge. Imagine her guest was Donald Trump. I wouldn't let it happen. Good morning. But it'll get people talking, you see. Have a controversial guest on. It'll get people talking, you see.

What about the damage to the brand? Don't worry about the damage to the brand. It'll get people talking, you see. What about the damage to the brand? Don't worry about the damage to the brand. It'll get people talking, you see. That's all that matters. Yeah. No, it's not Donald Trump. Thank God. It is something pretty massive, though.

Now, yesterday I embarked on a... It wasn't a complaint. It was a lodging, shall we say. You lodged a complaint? I lodged... No, no, it wasn't a complaint. It was very passiveging, shall we say. You lodged a complaint? I lodged. No, no, it wasn't a complaint. It was fair. I was very passive.

You had a good moan about it. Well, to you I did, but to them I went in, you know, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Yeah. Yes. True. I online purchased a pair of jeans a couple of months ago, and I only online purchased them because I had exactly the same pair of jeans that I loved.

Once you find them, you just never stop. And then they get discontinued. What are you supposed to do? For years I couldn't wear jeans. They'll make something similar but it's not the same. It's not the same. They're lower or tighter or whatever. And then you've got to once again enter the endless search

to find the pair of jeans that makes your booty pop. You saw these jeans? The day I got them, I put them on at HYBPA. Everybody was complimenting my dearie. Yeah. We couldn't look away. Some said an HR issue. I said compliments, compliments.

Some said before he spoke, his Subi spoke. Yes. Yes. Look at this tweed coat. Tell me he's broke. Yeah. So, yeah, I had these nice jeans, so I bought another pair online. And then at the weekend, I noticed they'd torn in the crotch.

Now, not my usual good situation, which is behind the mid-seam. It's just under the fly. Now, have you been using these for outdoor work? No, sir. Okay. Dress jeans only. Yeah, yeah, they work, and I get on, and I get into some. Quality jeans like that shouldn't happen.

No, jeans should last many, many years. Certainly not. Now, if you paid full price for these jeans, they'd be expensive. But, of course, my rulers never pay full price for them. I found them so incredibly cheap. You got a sale. Yeah. So I messaged the place I got them from and I was just like, hey, guys.

Is this on Instagram? Yeah. Okay. I slid into their DMs. I emailed them and heard nothing, and then I was like, yeah, but who's checking emails these days? No one. No one knows their login.

Nah. They predict that thing I do. You just control, alt, everything. Yeah, yeah, delete all. And delete all. If that's important, they'll get back in touch. They'll find you on another avenue if it's that important. So I got in touch on Instagram, and I thought I would show them where it ripped.

And so Sade, my wife, said, you've got to take the jeans off. I said, no, because if I take the jeans off, it doesn't fully show the extent of the fray. Or where it is. Yeah. So I squatted to kind of give it a little bit of a, and not an aggressive squat, like just a little bit of a squat. Did you put the camera on the ground and put a timer on and squat over it? No, no, I did that and then I leaned forward,

but then I was like, that's not quite capturing it, so I needed to pull up the jeans at the top. Oh, God. And that was perfect. Wouldn't that have given away some sort of sense of shape behind? No, no, no, no. No, there was no, no. No, there was no. No, there's no sense of shape.

Just making sure you weren't pulling them up too high that we were getting a knuckle situation. No, no, it's a farmer's mannequin. Okay. So I pulled that up. Don't describe yourself as a farmer's mannequin. Yeah. Thanks, guys.

Don't be so hard on yourself. And I took the photo and I sent it away and I said, this is the rip, et cetera. And Sade said, show me the photo. And I showed her the photo and she's like, oh, my God, your fingers at the top where you're holding the jeans up look like you've popped the top of your penis out of the top of your jeans. And it's got a fingernail on it.

Yeah, but at a quick glance. I mean, how skinny? And the DM's on a small screen. No, it was two fingers. It was like that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, okay. And it was just the angle and everything.

And she was like, just at a quick glance, that's what it looked like. Right. No, you definitely, like, if there's this thing, you take them off and you put your hand in them to flatten them out, and then you take a photo like that. You don't take a crotch shot and send it to someone.

I would say predominantly retail is run by women. So now some woman is going to receive a picture of you squatting over a camera and showing the hole in your crotch. I was holding the camera like that. So I wasn't like squatting over it so much. Yeah, but you're going from under, under up. Yeah, I said I just, and then I messaged again saying, I hope that photo sort of like shows the extent of the fraying.

You're wearing like, granted you did get them on sale very cheaply, these lovely Subis with a Mitre 10 trade T-shirt. Yeah, I just grabbed it. Jesus Christ. So, you know, we're talking about the four types of dresses on the show yesterday, and I told you, in the dark, I literally have, in our wardrobe, on the top shelf, there's two baskets. Basket on the right left is undies, basket on the right is socks.

And I just blindly grab, and then below that's the T-shirts, and I grab a T-shirt. I don't care what T-shirt it is. I just grab it. They're all pretty much of the same colour. They're all dark. I just can't believe you're actually still wearing the jeans today because not yesterday they were all dark. I just can't believe you're actually still wearing the jeans today because not yesterday

they were fraying. Today there is like an old 50 cent coin size hole absolutely staring us in the eye. You were sitting in the chair before

and I looked and I was like Jesus I want to look too closely. Well no, again, farmer's mannequins. It's not going to sneak out that long.

Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Hold on just a minute. I'm just sending Hayley a link to a... Oh, you were just doing a little bit of work. A new restaurant in Bali set inside a 25,000-year-old cave. The idea of being in Bali in a couple of weeks' time is shocking to me. Now, you know that you're meant to be working right now.

Yes. Yeah, but also I've got a trip to plan. And I just saw this and I said wrap your laugh and get around that. Right. Now that is us doing something non work related on work time which leads me nicely into how did this happen?

Wow. Look at the segue. I'm going to give that segue a soft kiss. No that was too hard. No too hard. What are you doing? Too hard. Soft kiss on the forehead. It's going to be that segue a soft kiss. No, that was too hard. No, no, too hard. What are you doing? Too hard. Soft kiss on the forehead. That was, I'm very happy with that last one. I'm going to leave it at that. Yuck.

So, this working from home worker, she works at a call centre, which, who was it? Whose flatmates Were working I know From home People that have done this And it blows my mind

That you could ring Say your power goes out Or you ring Your phone provider And you get put through But it's someone Sitting in their bedroom Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah And they've logged up To a computer program And they've got a headset And they can do it From anywhere That's wild eh It would be fun

It would be fun in the summer Because if you had like a deck, you could like sit up outside with a mojito or something. Yeah, but then you don't want to ring up. Chips and dip. Yeah, service provider and you hear a lawnmower in the background or some birds. It might be weird.

Birds would truly be so weird. You're like waving both your arms at Steve next door. Steve, cut the mower one minute, one minute, I promise. Well, this woman that works from home has gone viral. Yeah, because she works at a call centre and she said she just needed to put a caller on hold and she put them on hold because she was going through

the drive-thru and her order was ready to pick up. Now, she made the caller believe she needed to be put on hold because she needed to check something. But all the while she was filming for TikTok, I'm assuming. Yeah. A girl was kind of dobbing on her mum because her mum was the call centre. Oh, okay, right.

Of course she could lose her job. Is this like legit? Is mum allowed to do this? And she's like, put her on hold. And she said she does it all the time. Like when they get to wherever they're going and the kids are jumping out, she's like, if you could just hold there for one moment.

See you guys. I'll be back. Have a good day. Did mum have a laptop as well? Got a laptop in the car, yeah. Oh, wow. So you could literally be on the road. If she needs. I'll be back. Have a good day. Did mum have a laptop as well? Got a laptop in the car, yeah. Oh, wow. So you could literally be on the road. If she needs to check something, yeah. But she's heart and about doing it. So she's working

from home, but she's not at home. That's great. That's genius. So it made me think, what else are people doing on the company dime? Now this can be anonymous of course, because management don't like this. Even though they do it. They do it, don't they?

They do it but they've got KPIs. They need you to work hard. They need you to work hard so they can hit their KPIs. I think we're all guilty during work time of buying something online. That goes without saying, right? I literally have about four tabs open. I'm just looking for the perfect black cardigan.

Yes. I've got my yellows and my pinks and my grey. I need it to be the perfect black cardigan. I'm just looking for the perfect black cardigan. Yes. Do you know what I mean? I've got my yellows, my pinks, my greys. I need a perfect black cardigan. I'm just about to start creating my next Dungeons & Dragons character. I've been invited to a new campaign, and I'm pretty much planning on doing that in a work time. Yeah, gorgeous. And now I'm doing some Bali holiday planning.

All of my best characters have been built and worked during the songs and ads. I have a friend who got a degree. She worked the reception hours in a hotel, you know, early, like overnight shift. Oh, yeah. And she just studied the whole time. If you were going to be asleep, you'd hardly work. Yeah, so she didn't do any work.

She just studied and wrote her essays and stuff. Oh, wow. And got paid. That's perfect. That's a great idea. All right, well, this is what we want to ask. 0800 DALS at M. Give us a call.

You can text as well, 9696. What else do you get done on the company dime? While you're being paid to work, what else are you doing that you probably shouldn't be? Probably a little bit. But, I mean, if you can get away with it, if you're a... If you're getting your work done. Then why not? Why not?

Because I know, I have a friend that when he worked at the council, used to just watch Netflix and work. Yes. What did he do at the council? Probably, I don't know, building permits. I was just about to say. And then he turns up to do the inspection and he hasn't got anything on him

and it's my fault because I haven't printed out everything in triplicate. He's got an iPad in his hands. He's probably using it to... This is why you wonder why the councils take so long. This is probably Netflix. 0800DARLS.M Give us a call.

You can text 9696. What else do you do at work? Well, you should be working. Talking about the things that you multitask, the things that you do at work on company time. It's just about being smart,

isn't it? Making the most of your time and your opportunities and your resources. It's being very cheeky. It is being a little bit cheeky. Hearing from a lot of people planning weddings. Yes. Someone said, I can't believe you haven't already heard from everyone who's ever had a wedding

who used not only company time but also resources to plan their wedding. I remember your wedding. Like glue sticks. I remember your Vaughan's wedding invites. You did them all on the photocopier. No, I didn't. Yeah, you did back at MediaWorks. You used the whole frame.

That's why MediaWorks. No, I didn't. The photo was, it was colour photocopied. No, we had a, no, no, we had a. The toner was down. We had a good stock. Yeah. The stock of that paper wouldn't have fit in a MediaWorks printer.

No, no. It was thick. Practical card. Oh, yeah, baby. Taylor's called. Taylor, what did you, you tried to do something on work time. It didn't go well. Taylor.

Yes, it is. So I obviously work for a call centre. And since the whole COVID thing, I've been working from home. Yep. And this time I have gotten two kittens. You've gotten two kittens? I just started to branch out into kittens. You've got two kittens. Were you never into kittens. You got into kittens? I just sort of branched out into kittens. You got two kittens. Were you never into

kittens before the pandemic? I had a cat many years ago, but, you know, family's just like, we've got two dogs, we can't get any cats, but I just brought cats home and they stayed. But anyways, I knew my dad was on his way home and I had to move my car out, just a basic

thing, because I don't stay at home. I don't like where this is headed. No. So I put a cooler on hold because I knew my dad was going to be home in five minutes, jumped in my car. I re-reversed five ways. No. Five ways. My little baby.

No. She unfortunately decided to hang inside my car motor or something. Yeah. So I lost my baby girl. I had to come back in. My auntie was here. I said, you know, I just end this call. I've got to call my boss.

All that type of stuff. So it's just something that I've learned to just do your job. Concentrate. Yeah, don't. You've had disasters. So this is a horrible story, but a story of caution. You put a collar, so while a collar was on hold,

you ran over your cat? Pretty much, yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, my God. Obviously, I came back to the collar like, I'm going to put you back in queue, and then just ended it. I'm going to put you back in the queue, and then just cut them off.

Oh, wow. Taylor, thank you for sharing. Anonymous, what do you think of the cute? And then just pat them off. Oh, wow. Taylor, thank you for sharing. Anonymous, what do you do on work time? Well, I don't do it anymore. But when I first moved to New Zealand, I got an office job, nine to five Monday to Friday kind of gig. And I worked from home on Fridays. So what me and my friend used to do about 12 o'clock on a Friday

is we'd put our YouTube video on and we put it on to full screen mode because that kept at the time your Skype status as available. So it made it look like that you were there in the background. But then we'd just go off together and we'd go to the cinema and we made this a weekly thing and called it the Cinema Club. Oh my goodness. Wow. A YouTube video playing in the background that made it look like you were still working. Yeah, still working.

Because some places monitor your mouse movements. So that can be a giveaway if you're not moving your mouse. Yeah, but I think kind of people base it off, like, oh, is Mark there? Is he still available? His little green tick is still there. Yeah. Wow, and you go to the movie while being paid for work.

Amazing. You should put some catnip or a little fancy feast on the mouse and have the cat sort of lick it every now and then. So it keeps moving. So it keeps moving it. A little feather on there and it whacks it around. Anonymous, thank you for your call. A quick couple of text messages before we get to our big announcement. Huge.

Some people getting away with what they're doing while they're getting paid to be working. I'm a teacher, and when we had international students, I got the role of showing them around the country, and the school paid for it. Wow. I got to luge, whitewater raft, surf, all these other amazing things New Zealand had to offer during school time. And my other friends who were teachers at other schools were very, very upset about this. I bet.

Yeah. They weren't getting all the fun stuff. Somebody said, I have a friend and he works three jobs that are work from home, part time, 30 hour a week jobs. He gets all of the jobs done in the same 30 hours. Oh, wow. Okay. So he's working three jobs.

Yeah. So he's getting paid for 90 hours a week, but he's only working 30. He's living the dream. That's smart work. Smarter, not harder. Yeah, smarter, not harder. Yeah. You'd have to Mr. Doubtfire it if you had a Zoom meeting at the same time.

Yeah. Hello. Hello there. Alligs. Yeah. Hello. Hello there. All right. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Ed Sheeran on ZM, Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. And he's just announced two extra shows.

His first two sold out in Wellington and Auckland. And now an extra show at each venue. Sky Stadium Wellington, the new show will be on the 1st of Feb, that's a Wednesday, and at Auckland's Eden Park on Saturday the 11th. Tickets will be on sale next Thursday, that's a week today.

All the details you can find at ZM Online, the mathematics tour. And we've got him right here, right now, Ed Sheeran. I say this just sounds like another attempt to get that sweet New Zealand citizenship. Yeah, why not? Why not? No, I'm really, really pumped to get back. Yeah, man.

Yeah. I'm surprised that they're putting on another one because I know, like, how big the venue was. So I'm really, really pleased and happy. So thank you. You mean so much to New Zealand at this stage. This time when you come, you get to eat one of the Kiwi birds. Yeah. A mate of mine went, like, wilderness trekking there

and they were saying that you guys have, like, a deer problem. Yep. And that you have to kill deer over there or something. Yeah. Yeah, the deer cull. because, yeah, they're wild, but most things that were introduced to New Zealand, they just got here and they were like, this is just lovely, and they flourished.

They humped up a storm and made more of themselves. Yeah, deer cull and tar, which are kind of like a cross between a deer and a goat. I don't know how else to describe them. Very alpine-y looking thing. Got to kill them. A lot of things need killing. Feel free to bring a gun.

It isn't coming here to kill our animals, whether we like or not. He brought it up. He was like, you've got a deer problem, do you? Ed Sheeran will take care of it. You were saying I was going to kill a kiwi. No, you don't. No, no, no.

You don't kill it. You just eat it. You have to come five more times before you're allowed to kill a Kiwi. No, you don't. No, no, no. You don't kill it. You just eat it. You have to come five more times before you're allowed to kill one. Cool. Done. Yeah, done. It's happening. Ed Sheeran, we are looking forward to having you back.

But before that, you've got a lot of shows around Europe. Are you just about to get stuck into the European League? Yeah. Well, we're kind of pretty stuck in right now. I've done six weeks of it so far, and it's been great. It's been great. I mean, it's mad, like, going to some cities

and, like, feeling energy that I haven't felt before playing those cities because it's in the round. You're basically surrounded by, like, you're so close to everyone that you just feel, like, every bit of energy. So we've just done four nights in Manchester, and it was, like, insane. When you play end-on, you're so close to everyone that you just feel like every bit of energy. So we've just done four nights in Manchester and it was like insane.

When you play end on, you're kind of very far away from a crowd. So you just kind of, you feel like you're kind of performing sort of to yourself. Yeah, but detached. How are you handling this all with a new bebe? You've got a new bebe in the house. Oh, well, I mean, apologies if I've seen him a bit.

Yeah, it's a long night. It's just like when one's calm, the other's not. Oh, no, we've had this now. Youngest is eight, oldest is 10, just turned eight, and they're both chaotically out of control at the same time. Ten and eight. Ten and eight, yeah. It doesn't end.

No, oh, sorry, yeah. No, wait till they get to 16, Ed. I was a nightmare. When you say nightmare, like are you like trashing the house? Like sneaking out? I kind of did. Actually, at one moment,

my parents said I was allowed to decorate my room. So I got vivids and I drew pentagrams all over the walls. And I don't think that's quite the aesthetic my mum was going for. No. Although I was sort of like that when I was like 12, 13. I got really into Slipknot. Oh, good or bad? We all had a Slipknot face.

Oh, of course we did. A classic bad. Oh my God, Ed, you've got to do some covers. You've got to do some collabs. So I bought Iowa the other day. They released Iowa on vinyl and I do vinyl breakfast with my daughter every morning.

And, you know, we'll play like everything from like Black Sabbath to like Jack Johnson. And I got Iowa and I was like, I wonder if this is a morning album. And I put it on

and I was like, I don't think this is a morning album. No, I can see her first words at kindy being like, people equal shit. I mean, this is a morning album. No, I can see her first words at kindy being like, people equal shit. I'm going to listen to Slipknot with my dad. What song is people equal shit from? They wore that.

Yeah. It's a great album, though. I mean, like, they're so good at playing music. Like, they're really great musicians. But it's like when you've just woken up in the morning with your, like, 18-month-old. Do you get any downtime when you're in New Zealand? Yeah, loads.

Loads. I'm actually turning 32 in and around that, so I'm going to plan my birthday party in New Zealand and do something fun. Oh, my God, we accept. Do you need a venue? Like, what are you thinking? I don't know, really.

I don't know. I think there's so much cool stuff in New Zealand that it won't be that hot. I mean, it will just be like, wherever we are, we'll find something. But yeah, cake-wise, it's actually in my management contract that my manager has to get me a Colin the Caterpillar cake every year.

Do you know about Colin the Caterpillar? No. It's like a chocolate sponge cake that looks like a caterpillar that you buy from DeMarc Suspensis here. I'm just looking it up. I've had a Colin the Caterpillar cake every year since I was like three. Ed, you are a superstar. You can do better than the caterpillar cake.

Sometimes I have my birthday not in England, so he has to get like a chef specially to make it. So it looks exactly the same. But like, you can do super. If he doesn't do it, the contract's over and I get to leave. Well, I'm going to hook you up. I'm the host of the Great Kiwi Bake Off, the spin-off of the British Bake Off.

I'll be able to find you a celeb baker to make you this caterpillar. Very silly caterpillar. I'm in. I'm in. It actually sounded like he wanted out of his management contract and he was making sure he was literally as far from a Marks and Spencers as he possibly could be. There's a few things in the contract that we've taken one out.

He doesn't like Harry Potter and he really doesn't like watching the films. So I got him the Weasley twins on a key ring and then a massive picture of him and then my in my contract it was uh whenever he does like a really professional serious photo shoot like a music magazine he has to have that picture in the background so that was part of my contact and then also that he always has to sit next to me on a plane and look happy and they took the look happy bit out of it because they're like we can't control that but we can make sure that he always has to sit next to me on a plane and look happy. And they took the look happy bit out of it because they're like, we can't control that,

but we can make sure that he always sits next to you on a plane. Yeah, I have fun doing the contracts because he has to like pay a lawyer like loads of money every time I make a decision. Like write it in and spend like days doing it. I love doing it. You've got to find joy in contracts. You've got to find some joy in these contracts.

Exactly. And, you know, just like doing a management contract and being like, yeah, I'll give you 20%. Like, what do I get? I want... I want some joy out of it. Some absolute joy out of this. Ed, thank you so much for joining us this morning.

Thank you. Hi, ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We just chatted to the man. Lovely as always. Very tired. Very tired. Very tired but very gracious. So much effort put into a chat. He said afterwards, he was like, thanks, sorry I've only had two hours sleep.

He must love chatting to the Kiwis when he feels like that though because we're so like, we'll just work with you with anything. He does love New Zealand. Well, his two extra shows in Auckland and Wellington, you can get all the details at ZM online. Rachel,

congratulations. The first double pass in the whole world is yours. Oh my God, amazing. In the whole world? In the whole world.

In the whole world. Why stop at the world unless Ed Sheeran's doing Jupiter shows saying the whole solar system? the whole world, they don't go on sale until next Thursday

but you've got the first double pass. Congratulations. You guys have just made my week. Thank you so much. You've made ours. Honestly. Love it. Have fun.

All right. Well done, Rachel. Big day. My week was made yesterday, actually. I don't want to say Rachel made my week. Oh, wait. Hang on a sec. Get Rachel back on because she didn't make your week. It was made yesterday, actually. I don't want to say Rachel made my week. Oh, wait, hang on a sec. Get Rachel back on.

Because she didn't make your week. It was made yesterday with this video. You owe Rachel an apology. Yeah, Rachel. Rachel, Rachel, Hayley owes you an apology because you didn't make her week. Sorry, Rachel. I said you made my week,

but actually my week was already made yesterday. I've got to take it back. Also, Fletcher owes you an apology. That's no way those were the first tickets given away. We've lied to you. And we were allowed to announce it at 8cher, as you an apology, there's no way those were the first tickets given away. We've lied to you. And we were allowed to announce it at 8 o'clock.

Bullshit. There's no way. We've done nothing but lie to you. No one else has tickets. No one else has tickets. How do you know? You don't know this.

Don't you lie to the people. There was an exclusive interview. There was an exclusive interview. They deserve the truth. Rachel, you deserve the truth. Don't put up with these lies, Rachel. You did not make Hayley's week and you certainly didn't get the first double pass. But you've brightened today. You Rachel, you deserve the truth. Don't put up with these lies, Rachel. You did not make Hayley's week and you certainly didn't

get the first double pass. But you've brightened today. You've brightened my day today with your attitude. I mean, undeniably, we still made your week? Yeah, definitely, and I will take the pickets as an apology. No problem. Okay. As a sorry that they weren't the first. Thank you, Rachel. Enjoy your chair. Well, yesterday

Hayley's week was made. It was because I was, um, I'm on seven was made. It was because I was, I'm on Seven Days Tonight, and I was in the studio and I opened up my phone and I follow Sade's Instagram, Vaughn's wife Instagram, and this video was playing and I was like, wait, wait, what's happening? Am I crying? I watched it and I burst into tears

because Augie's birthday yesterday. Yeah, I cannot believe she's eight. Crazy, eh? I watched it and I burst into tears because Augie's birthday yesterday. Eight. I cannot believe she's eight. Crazy, eh? She was born six weeks after we started working. Yeah. Here during breakfast hours. Wow.

Eight years. So it was her birthday and we led them astray. There was birthday presents and then I said, oh, there's one more present, but you've got to chuck on earmuffs and a blindfold. Yeah. And that's when I went and got our new kitten out of the car that we, again, adopt, don't shop, executive intent. Why did you look at me when you said that? Because you shop. Yeah, you've got a fancy-smancy expensive cat.

Yeah, and it keeps having dumb things like UTIs. Yeah. It keeps having royal family problems, you know. They're so inbred. They have all these health. They get something that dragged itself out of the gutter. Dude, Rolly was dumped on the doorstep in a plastic bag. He's got no issues.

We don't know the backstory of this cat, do we? I'm going to make up some fanciful story about how this cat absolutely survived. This was a cat that producer Anna was... Fostering. Fostering, that's what you call it. And it got renamed. No offence to George. Did you name the cat George? Yeah, I did, but it was absolutely fine.

What did you call the ginger cat? Cheeto. Like Cheetos. Like Cheeto puffs. Makes sense. Yeah, like the chip. I said to the girls, do you like those? And they're like, nah.

Okay, cool. Works better than rations, though. You had them blindfolded and earmuffs on. Yeah, we put earmuffs on because I was afraid on the walk in, the cat was going to be like, meow, meow, meow. Well, here was how it went down. Where's dad? What's that?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's your first day of getting a little baby. You won't say you want him. It's your kitten, Ogie. Oh, my God. Really?

Is this a prank? He's a little kitten. Oh my God. He's so cute. So proud. So proud of the cynicism passing down through the Smith bloodline there of something nice is happening. I assume this is someone playing a joke on me. I've been trying to teach my kids if something seems too good to be true,

it probably is. So I think that was showing that it did. But then that got you crying. Oh, my God, it got me going. You were blubbering. Everyone watching, I'm blubbering now. Yeah. Were you crying because Vaughn was crying?

Or because they were so overjoyed? I was watching the, like, raw like raw and like unfiltered emotion of a child faced with a small animal. It was so beautiful. And then, yeah, hearing you being like, yeah, it's okay, kids, I can. It's okay, kids, you're letting your dad go. Also, like kind of chuffed, like I've nailed this.

Oh, I nailed it. And I tell you what, August came up to me four or five times throughout the afternoon and said, I love you so much. Thank you so much for the best birthday ever. And every time I was like, that's all right. That's all right.

That's all right. That's all right. So yeah, every time as a teenager, she's like, I hate you, Dad. I'll be like, really? Because I got you another kitten. I'm going to cut you a house. You're going to do that every time with a teenage girl.

It's just going to be crawling with cats. But it was just an emotional, from the moment the cat appeared to when we went to bed, it was just a highly emotional day. August came to me at one stage crying and I was like, it's okay, bud, it's okay. Like, you're just, you're overwhelmed. It's okay.

And she's like, no, I've just thought I don't want, we're not replacing Anakin, our cat that died at the end of last year. She's like, I don't want people to think we're replacing Anakin. And I was like, oh God, you're eight years old. Well, you might use the same bowls. Yeah. Probably should get another bowl.

No, no, new bowls. God, Fletch, do you remember we were there the day that Anakin died? Do you remember? We were at a barbecue at your house? No, that was when he first went missing. Oh, no, was he? And then the next day he was dead. I was like, I found him, yeah. He was taking himself away to die, but, you know, he was still alive.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, still alive, and then it all happened. And then he'd be like, yeah, where's that cat? Yeah, just dying. Dying under these. Dying. Cat's dying. While we're having a glorious barbecue above, just dying. Dying under these. That's dying. While we're having a glorious barbecue above. Joyful noises.

He's like, I don't want a lot of fuss, mate. He was an old mate. He was like, I don't want a lot of fuss, mate. I don't want a fuss. Yeah, so there's a new cat now. My worry is now with this amazing gift and this fantastic reaction, every year how do we beat this? Dogs.

Dogs. Until you are over it. Anything they ever I can see how people Get caught up In getting carried away Like if I was Puff Daddy Rich

I'd be like It's not just It's not just a cat Outside Go and have a look They walk out Eight ponies A Maserati

I'd be like Mad on On love And Yeah Dad power Alright See how they get carried away Mad on love and dad power. See how they get carried away. Play it. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Fact of the day, day Zealand had cars before it had laws about cars. That's wild. And it was just free for all. No. So this guy, William McLean of Wellington, I feel like I might be going crazy, but also isn't there still a McLean Park? That's in Napier.

That's in, no. Do you think McLean Motors isn't there? Could be. One of the big. Maybe it could be Maddie McLean, TV1 Maddie McLean's great-great-grandparents or something. Great-great-granddad. So William McLean imported cars into Wellington and then Parliament was like, shit, we don't have any rules about these.

Were there even roads? I mean, there would have been roads. There were roads for horse and carts. Yeah, there were roads. And the early, early cars, because this was 1898. So early cars had like carriage type wheels and they didn't go super quick. But, you know, they were steady. They could put along.

So they quickly whipped up the paperwork required for the motor car. And this is an actual copy from the New Zealand library. Oh, it's short. Yeah, it's three pages long. And it's kind of like relatively easy to understand. Have you read contracts? They're all like, or laws. I never read them.

I just sign them. Same. Don't read. Henson, fourth from this location to date. And it wouldn't have been a seatbelt law then? Nope. They probably didn't even have seatbelts. Certainly no seatbelts.

That came in in the early 2000s. So it says, This is an act to authorise William McLean to use motorc cars and to enable other persons to obtain permits and licence for the like purpose, and also authorise the storage of inflammable substances used in driving such as motor cars. So basically, he was carting around explosives. So they had rules about transporting flammables,

but not in the form of something that was literally using the flammables as it was transporting the flammables. We should jump in the retro petrol time machine to 1886. We should. Gosh. When fuel was one cent. How much would fuel...

I don't know. A penny. It would have been kerosene. It wouldn't have been petrol as we know it, right? As we know it, no. Right. It would have been a different sort of... See that stuff you put in the survivor torches at the warehouse?

Yeah. Kerosene. It's your camping kits, isn't it? Yeah. A little camping burner. A bit of kerosene, that'll get it going. So yeah,

you can find this online. A beautiful place, our library. Our online library. It's normal. You don't look that impressed by the fact that we've got all these amazing documents

founding of our country. No, I love it. Because I follow lots of pages that have like retro photos and walkways. Oh my God. Is it Time Spanner? That's a great one. Yeah, that's a good one. I always love that. It's the founding of our country. No, I love it. Because I follow lots of pages that have like retro photos. Oh, my God. Is it Time Spanner? That's a great one.

Yeah, that's a good one. I always love that. There's a Facebook page and they chuck up like photos. The best part is, and Hayley, you'll appreciate this, there's lots of photos of the North Western Motorway and how it was all through farms. And if you can work out where it's taken from now, it's all houses.

Yeah. Yes. That's crazy. There's a photo of my house In 1880 something Christ and you're like Why is it leaking? God it's cold eh? Didn't even have cars

Yeah the cat just fell through the floor What the hell is going on with this 130 I think you found the reason 34 year old house So today's fact of the day is New Zealand had motorcars Before they had laws about motorcars.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Do-do-do-do-do. I got my head out this sunroof. I'm blasting my favorite tunes live. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. Ha, suck it. I was right. Netscape Navigator was before Internet Explorer,

but that's not what we're talking about because Netscape Navigator died years ago. Years ago. But Microsoft have announced that they are retiring Internet Explorer. The famous E with the whoo around it. That's the first browser I think I can remember using. It was the only one until Mozilla. Mozilla Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox. It's been a time, but so many of them were just absolute junk. Yeah. Yes. We're absolutely spoiled for choice now. And then it forced Bing on you. Oh, my God.

Stop it. You'd go to Google something and it would be like, here's what Bing says. And you're like, how do I change you? How do I change you? Bing don't know Jack. Bing don't know a thing. No.

So. It's being retired. And so what will you use now on Non Macs I don't know I've only got a Mac We're Mac We're Mac through and through

A lot of people just use Chrome On Windows anyway Or Chrome or Safari on On Macs I don't use Safari I Chrome all the way I'm a Chrome Chrome all day

All night all day You've gone back to Safari Haven't you Yeah just because it Sinks up with you Yeah Embarrassing I've got 8 million Safari tabs open on my phone

because when you open a link out of anything, it just pops it in Safari. Oh, yes. And you're like, thanks for your help, Safari. And then back to Chrome and then you check on Safari and it's like, I'm carrying too many tags. But it got us thinking with Internet Explorer, probably one of the first things we would have used on the Internet.

Like, that's going. End of an era. Like, we wanted to ask this morning, what is your first memory of using the internet? Mine was this website called Dolls Mania. And everyone of my era will be like, oh, Dolls Mania. Dolls Mania?

And they were like these kind of girl characters, and you could, like, choose their clothes and stuff. Oh, like paper dolls but online. But online. Yeah, like paper dolls online. You'd dress them and give them names

and characters and they were like sassy gals and you could download them as JPEGs. I'm pretty sure that was the only website and then like Neopets. Yeah, right.

I remember Neopets. And then I used to go into little chat rooms if you're listening. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I used to see you when I was about 10 or 11 years old.

M-I-R-C chat rooms. I remember ICQ and there was MSN chat. Yep. Yep, those were big. The big chat rooms. The big chat rooms. Uh-oh. And you'd be like, ASL.

You'd be like, 10. 10 female Wellington. Why? They're like, bye. Hopefully. Hopefully. Hopefully they said bye. So we wanted to open up the phone lines this morning.

0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696 with the RIP of Internet Explorer. What was your first memory of using the internet? Maybe it's a fond one. Maybe it was with Internet Explorer. You googled something or you remember a website you used to always go to? We went to the Hamilton City Library to use the internet. Oh yeah.

In the really early days of the internet. And because we were children, we needed adult accompaniment. And Mr. Jewhurst came and he ran a hydroponics lettuce growing outfit. He may still run it on the outskirts of Moronsville. A legitimate lettuce.

I was like, quote unquote lettuce? Well, he's probably ready to branch out. He's just waiting for that legalisation. He's got the whole set up there ready to rock. But he did a hydroponics lettuce and he stole every kid's internet time googling hydroponics lettuce. How else are you going to learn? We want to google friends. I think that's what I'm mind is time googling hydroponic letters. How else are you going to learn? We were like, we want to Google friends.

I think that's what I'm minding, is like googling something about friends. Yeah. Like, I don't know what it was. A friend's fan club. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some blinding wonderful guy, and they were like, friend's fan club.

And we all just stood over their shoulder being like, what, how, where? This is magical. Well, Microsoft is shipping off Explorer to a retirement home. They're getting rid of it. Yeah, retiring to the beach. Got us talking about your early internet memories.

Because a lot of us would have used Microsoft Explorer to look at different webpages. Yeah, so we want to know what were you doing? What were you doing on the internet? Andy, what's your earliest internet memory? We had slow dial-ups in the lounge and also

we used MSN chat and Bebo and played Worms. Yes! Oh my God, Worms! I love Worms. Who was your favourite Worm? It was the rocket-launching

Worm for me. Every time. It's got to be Kamikaze. Oh, you like the Kamikaze Worm? Yeah! Because that would just be a worm. I'd tie the headband on and just roll it straight over the money. Damn.

So you can still buy worms. I looked at buying that during the last lockdown, but it was too expensive. I was like, I don't know if I – You are so cheap. What was it? It was like $5. It was like $5.

It was like $5. It was like $5. It was like $80 or $70, and I was like, I don't want worms that bad. No, no, no, no. Andy, did you used to have like a cool MSN messenger name? Like you know in your chat and everyone's like

lyrics. You'd go like Andy Rastrix and then a title and then make it look like there's swirls And then like capital letter lowercase letter

capital letter lowercase letter. Yeah, you used to go into like chats and talk to random people. You randos. Wildly dangerous. Yeah, and now you just use dating apps to do that. Now you just do that. Yeah, you used to go into like chats and talk to random people. Yeah, randos, wildly dangerous. Yeah, and now you just use dating apps to do that. Now you just do that. Yeah.

But this time you're not. Now you just like how my kids not to do that. Yes, do do that. Amazing. Andy, thank you. We want to know your earliest memories of using the internet. Microsoft getting rid of Explorer. It's R-I-P. Goodbye.

Something else you're using now. I wouldn't know. I think we could almost talk about what was your first internet name. Some of these are pretty. Someone said my MSN username was I'm in love with a stripper. I was 11 years old. What the hell? I didn't even know what love is.

To be sure, I didn't even know what a stripper was. Wow. Man, some things that people for their first internet. You may remember the TV show that featured a computer-generated penguin. This was filmed and produced out of Dunedin. Yes. It was Dominic Bowden's first TV gig, Matt Gibb, Ryan Ingalls. Yes, yeah, yeah.

Squirt. Squirt, the little penguin. Someone said that my first experience was trying to find how to join their fan club by Googling it. And I'm guessing they got redirected. The results, yeah. They didn't get what they were after, that's for sure. Tegan, what was your first internet memory?

My first internet memory? My first internet memory was I remember my siblings going on the internet, so I started nagging at my parents. And then when they finally caved, I was like, cool, now what do I do? Like, I had no idea what I was doing on it. My sister ended up introducing me to Habbo Hotel. Habbo Hotel? What's that?

So it's pretty much like an online hotel. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you go to a, you've got like a little avatar, and you go and like interact with people. It's kind of like a fancy like chat room. Oh, yes. But then you can like pay money to like buy furniture and like make your room and stuff.

It was like Bad Sims. Bad the Sims, you know? Yeah, before the Sims. Yeah, kind of like that. And bad mostly because the people in there were misrepresenting themselves and behaving badly. Yeah. Thank you, Tegan.

Vicky, what was your early internet memory? Playing Neopets and printing off pictures from the Bubblegum Club. Bubblegum Club, was that colouring in pictures to print off? Or was that just pictures you could cut out and stick on your school books? Bit of both. I used to use magazines for school books mostly. But Bubblegum Club, you could print off the pictures and I'd take them to school and we'd

all colour them in. And I was really cool because we had a printer and nobody else did. Oh my God, when your friend had a printer? I know. You would have had your ass kicked if you used all the colour cartridge to print out a whole lot of money.

Oh my God, I'd just get mum to print it off at a government department at the time. Yeah, yeah. My government departments were loose, eh?

I used to do the same when I was a kid. We used to steal hundreds of kilograms of copper. Yeah. I did it. Great stuff.

Just don't want to criminalise myself there. I absolutely didn't. Vicky, thanks. You call some more messages in. So many inappropriate chatting with strangers stories coming through from people who now have young children. Yeah.

Our parents had no idea what the internet was. It really was. Whereas we were around for the birth of it. Yeah. We know it's the Wild West. There was no child, you know, safe version of it. You just free reign. Wild West. There was no child safe version of it. I don't even think they invented filters for a while.

Like 18 plus Google search results. No, that wasn't there. That wasn't there. Somebody said my earliest internet memory is holding a pillow on the back of the computer to try to muffle the beep. You used to tape them onto the bed.
