The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Grab any size McCafe coffee. For only $4, conditions apply. They do indeed. And I've got a press release here from Airbnb. And they, it's a few New Zealand stats.

The average Airbnb host in New Zealand made $8,000. Doesn't feel like enough. $42 million in revenue. Okay, that's enough. Although there's been a lot of COVID the last year. The number of hosts is around just over 5,000. Right, so they made $8,000, but they wrote maybe $20,000 off for tax purposes.

So they're getting a massive refund on their beach house that they still get to use in all the prime time. Gotcha. Gotcha. I see what's happening here. It's still too much effort for me. I don't want someone rummaging around sleeping in my bed. Yuck.

Ew. It's weird, eh? Because when you go to a hotel or a motel, you're sleeping in a bed that so many people have slept in. I know. But you never think about that, do you? You never think about that bed being a shared bed. Yeah, but yet if your bed was Airbnb, you'd come back and be like, who the hell has been

in here? Yes. Oh my God, I wouldn't be able to shake it. I'd have to have a mattress I swapped out for Airbnb. What about a mattress protector? No, it doesn't do anything. A thick mattress protector. It's the energy of the mattress that has forever changed. It's the ick. It's the ick. Right. it doesn't do anything. A thick mattress protector. It's the energy of the mattress that has forever changed.

It's the ick. It's the ick. Right. And you know that they're banging. Do you know what I mean? No one's going to an Airbnb and not. Not having a bang. Yeah.

Are you saying you've banged at every Airbnb? I've had a wank at the very least. The moment you walk in the door. This is the podcast. Come on, we're amongst friends here. How many downloads does this thing get? It can't be many. Wow.

10,000? No, 10, 10. Well, I tell you what, no wonder all of your Airbnb hosts have changed everything. Yeah, great. I've changed everything, but it's great. They always give me a solid review. Thanks, Lee. Good morning.

Welcome to the show. Fleet, Smawn and Hayley, three minutes past review. Thanks, Lee. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleets, Vaughan and Hayley. Three minutes past six. Happy Budget Day. I know you're so excited about it, Hayley. Oh, it's a big day for everyone. You know me and the budget. I like to follow it.

I like to write it down. I like to do my own calculations. Yeah, I know you do. Yeah, I get really excited for some spending and some saving and some exports and some imports. Yeah, good. I'll follow it with great interest. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Is Cindy still at home? Yes, she is. She was debating over Zoom yesterday. How did that go? Well, I just threw it on the news. Oh, right. You know how they get together in parliament and carry on like children. And she was doing it over Zoom with a blurry background.

She didn't want to show the colour of her walls. I don't know. I don't know what was going on back then. What's that government house they stay in? The Prime Minister lives in. It's hideous. It's disgusting. It's so ugly. It's so gross. Well, what's that government house they stand, the Prime Minister lives in? It's hideous. It's disgusting. It's so ugly.

It's so gross. Oh my God, any time you see it are you like, couldn't you put a lick of paint around? Can you imagine being the Prime Minister that's like,

it needs renovation, which it does because if it doesn't it's just going to, it's like a historic place, right? Yeah. But imagine being like,

oh, we need a million dollars of taxpayer money to reno. Yeah. They could do the block. They could dollars of taxpayer money to reno. Yeah. They could do the block. They could do a season of the block. That'd be a great idea. They should put up Resene, you know, and just see if they slap a bit of paint around it. I mean, Clark's on

home detention station. He's got nothing else to do. It's because of his ankle bracelet. Don't tell me there's an ankle bracelet. Again, reiterating that was heavily sarcasm. That was heavily sarcastic. Our retro petrol time machine back again this morning

at eight. Your chance to win free fuel, all thanks to Gull. So listen up for the activator. The top six is on the way. Yeah, jib... Board? Jib board? What does the B in jib stand for?

What does jib stand for? Good interior board. It must be an acronym, right? Yeah, it's always in capitals. It's got to be, yeah. What are you googling? I'm furiously googling. What does jib board stand for?

Gibraltar board. Gibraltar. New Zealand informal, short for Gibraltar board. Gibraltar. Gibraltar board? Okay, so it's Gibraltar Broad. Gibraltar Broad? Okay, so it's short. It's not an acronym. It's a nickname.

Gib Board. Gibraltar. That's a place, isn't it? It is, yeah. What is it, like a chalky, the chalky cliffs of Gibraltar? Because that stuff's always very chalky. Oh, maybe. Gib's super chalky.

Gib is chalk. Yeah. So there is a critical shortage of Gibraltar board in New Zealand. It has officially reached, there's been a shortage, but now it has reached a critical shortage. Now I need a couple of sheets of Gib. How are you going to get them? I'm going to steal them.

In a heist. In a couple of sheets. In a heist. Like an Ocean's Eleven heist. I've got a friend that's hoarding a few in his garage. Oh God, give over. Maybe for a good price you could get it. that's hoarding a few in his garage. Oh, God. Give over. For a good price, you could get it.

I'm going to steal them from his garage. I'm going to... Gone in 60 seconds. National treasure. Ocean's Eleven. Every heist movie you can think of, I'm going to heist some jib. It's not a very sexy heist when you need a higher trailer from the servo. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hard to tuck it in the pants and backflip out of there, you know. You're driving really fast. He's like, we'll return it by five. Yeah. Oh, flat tyre. So I've got the top six other things that are also a critical shortage. You may not even have noticed. There's a lot, lot.

So many critical shortages. A lot of supply issues. All right, it's coming up next on the show, though. A warning for people that are planning that overseas holiday. Yes. That's you. You've got one planned.

I do. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. A warning. This comes from Emirates in a news article I found yesterday. They're warning people that are booking flights, particularly to Europe, I'm guessing on their network particularly, that if you want a flight, book it six months out.

I always book international well out. You've got to plan. You've got to plan your holidays. You've got to plan, but some people don't. They're still in this mindset of pre-pandemic where you could book three months out to go to Europe or two months out. And they're always waiting for a sale.

Waiting for a sale, but those sales aren't really happening. No. People are trying to make their money back. They're not going to put flights on sale. Well, yeah, and this article says, and Emma, it's the same, that they're trying to get a lot of their aircraft back in the sky and they've got to find crew, like every other airline. They're just still struggling to get a lot of their aircraft back in the sky and they've got to find crew like every other airline. They're just still struggling to get crew,

so they can't put more flights on. They need more flight attendants. I always thought that would be a fun job. Just for a moment there, you were contemplating being a flight attendant. I'm out of here. Stuff for you guys. I can't imagine a worse job. Really?

Their sense of entitlement for people on a plane, because they paid so much to be there would be through the roof. Your work hours would suck, but then you'd be in... But then especially in an airline like that, you could be in the most amazing places. So you'd have to put up with a-holes, like you say.

Like yourself. I'm very polite on planes. For a flight, but then you've got a couple of days in a lovely location. Oh, I know. See the world. You're in Malta. Yeah.

You know? Malta. I don't know why Malta came to mind, but I just thought it was a beautiful location. Lots of warmth. Ugh. Mmm. Um. Nah.

You've got to book in advance. Yeah. We always have to book in advance with Aaron because he can't fold into the seats. So we've got to get exit row. So that's why you book so early. But now I've got friends talking about going in like August, end of July, August, and they still haven't booked. I'm like, oh no, you're crazy. It's too stressful.

I get so stressed booking flights. Like I'm even surprised you got a flight to Disneyland. I know you're not paying. I don't. That must have been an expensive flight. I don't know how much it cost. Are you up the front of the plane? Oh, no, like business.

Yeah, I'm a pilot. I'm piloting. I'm in the cockpit. You think they're short on air hostesses? They're so short on pilots, they're going to give me a go. Yeah. I just had to show them good luck with that.

My Microsoft Flight Simulator. Yeah, you're pretty good at that. Training. Pretty good. Which was enough. Pretty good. I'm just wondering if they can invert the controls on a plane. Because that's how I fly on video games.

You invert? I invert the Y axis. Why? It's just how I like to do things. Wow, you're wise. So on the plane, I hope that's the case. Otherwise, I'll go to take off. I'll slam a string to the ground.

These things happen. Yeah, they do. I'm sure people will be very forgiving. Next on the show. We're going to talk about comfort food. It's maybe too early because I'm a little bit hungry. Oh, is Maltesers your comfort food? Love it.

I'll tell you why you might be reaching for it. All right, next. ZM. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. It's making you giggle. The printing. Producer Jared's done the printing today and it's... Our carween is away. Oh my goodness, it's all over the show, isn't it?

And yeah, Jared, you've given it a red hot go and I'm going to call it an absolute failure. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. That's the title. Yeah, we've got some printer margin era. Yeah, some formatting issues here. Anyway, carry on. Oh, God.

Yeah, anyway. Look, we love you, Jarrod. We love you, Jarrod. You can't be good at everything. Now, studies looked into how we deal with stress and anxiety. Okay. At the end of a long day, perhaps, or in a period of ups and downs, perhaps. And a lot of the time people are turning to food, sweet and savoury foods,

because they release dopamine, which is maybe the best thing our body has the ability to do. It's a quick hit, isn't it? Yeah, a little dopamine hit. Is serotonin different to dopamine? Dopamine is the happy. I thought serotonin different to dopamine? Dopamine is the happy. I thought serotonin was the happy.

What's dopamine? You're asking questions we're not qualified to answer, Vaughn. Dopamine function is a ton... High levels of

... Yeah, it makes you happy. Dopamine versus serotonin. Dopamine and serotonin are both neurotransmitters,

meaning they are chemical messengers in the brain which communicate via neurons. Serotonin are both neurotransmitters, meaning they are chemical messengers in the brain which communicate via neurons. Serotonin is associated with feelings of happiness, focus, and calm, while dopamine is associated with feelings of rewards, motivation, and being productive. Oh, there you go. Those sound like two hot, hot chemicals.

Yeah, they do, yeah. What a delicious little cocktail. I think maybe my favorite chemicals. Yeah, same. Yeah, buddy. I've got a top ten list of chemicals. I'll tell you what, dopamine, serotonin. Hydrogen chloride's up there.

Oh, yeah, that's a chemical. What's the one in science where you put that silver thing in and it went all fizzy? Oh. That was fun. Sodium. Maybe. Wasn't that raw sodium?

I don't know. Like soda and it would... Yeah, that's one of my favourites. You love baking soda, do you? Guess what that is. It's so versatile. It is really good. Well, yeah, eating sweets and foods. Nah.

What? Nah. Yeah. Nah. What? Sodium's chemical sign is N-A. Oh. Nah. So you were like, it's so versatile. Nah. Because it's sodium. Okay, okay, Mr. Smith. You're the cool chemistry teacher. Yeah, nah. Because it's sodium. Okay, okay, Mr. Smith.

You're the cool chemistry teacher. Yeah, awesome. But a lot of people are combining comfort foods such as popcorn, salty carbohydrates, chips, and choccies with watching TV as a way to calm the nervous system. Do we need a study to tell us this? This is like... This is breaking news. This is...

This is breaking news. If you're feeling anxious or stressed, don't just grab a Sammy. Grab a Sammy. Put on some slacky tracks as well. They're saying... Oh, you've got to have comfy pants. It increases the release of dopamine if you are wearing comfy clothing while you are eating salty carbohydrates,

while you are watching a light romantic comedy. Is that what they recommend? That's what they recommend. If you're feeling stressed, action, sci-fi, horror, thriller, famously not very good for keeping the heart rate low. Something kind of void of any substance. So most of what's on Netflix. Most of what's on Netflix.

That's often what I say to Aaron. He'll be like, what do you want to watch? And I know my brain's too busy to handle, you know. Ozark. The Lobster or Ozark. So I'll always say like, something with Paul Rudd in it. Do you know what I mean?

Just give me a little bit of Paul Rudd. Oh, reliable Rudd, eh? Give me, I need a Hugh Grant today. Yeah. And yeah, I do feel, I feel a lot better. Okay. So watch a terrible movie and put on some fat pants and. Unwind.

Eat some pretzels. 20 past six, the top six is next on the show. The top six are the critical shortages Currently affecting the country From the self-driving ZM think tank This is the top 6 Hey there Hey kids

Gibraltar board Which I shall only ever refer to it now As we've learnt what gib means Gib board Short for Gibraltar board From further investigation which I shall only ever refer to it now as we've learnt what jib means. Jib board, short for Gibraltar board. From further investigation, I can see that it's made of that gypsum stuff. And I assume Gibraltar has a large natural reserve of gypsum. And that's why it's called Gibraltar board. And we just call it jib board because we make it here.

It's the stuff on your walls and it's impossible to buy. Yeah. As you'd know Hayley. Yep. It's going to be a cold house. So it's the same stuff as plaster of Paris. So you could go down to your art supply store and make your own jib board. Just slap it on

the walls. Make your own. Put a bit of cardboard down. Yeah. Make a little frame for it. Pour in the plaster of Paris. Let it set. Get it up on the walls. Make your own. Put a bit of cardboard down. Yeah. Make a little frame for it. Pour in the plaster of Paris. Let it sit. Get it up on the wall. I have been thinking about jib alternatives for our whole house renovation.

Thank you so much for talking about this on here this morning. And I was like, I don't know, can you clay the walls? I just, like a horse hair.

Yeah, like they do in Africa for the mud huts. Yeah, mud huts. Yeah. Bit of dung. Yeah, elephant dung. Yeah. Bit of dung. Yeah, elephant dung. Yeah.

And then set it and then paint it. No one will notice. Cute. Cute. Cute, got a dung house. There's only one place that makes jib board in New Zealand, right? One company. It's wild.

Yeah. And isn't it owned by? Fletcher. Fletchers? Who have a lot of projects. Don't look at me. No relation. Thank God.

I'm not to blame for any of this. I was about to drag you through the mud. Plywood. I just looked at alternatives. Plywood. Yeah. Rough though, isn't it? Plywood with veneer.

No painting but can scratch and shit. Yeah. Yeah, there's some different. I don't know if a veneer is good in a 144-year-old house. No, it's not quite the look you're going for. It's not quite the aesthetic. I'm going to go with dung. Yeah, elephant dung. Elephant dung. Okay. It dries nicely. I'm it's not quite the look you're going for. It's not quite the aesthetic. I'm going to go with dung. Yeah, elephant dung.

Elephant dung. Okay. It dries nicely. I'm going to head up the zoo on the way home. So all the elephants are dead, aren't they? No, we've got one. Remember, we've got Australia, and Australia's like,

actually, we don't want your elephant. Also, we've still got an elephant. We've still got an elephant. Oh, okay. Head up the zoo. Do you have healthy bowels? Producing a lot of dung? Oh, producing a lot of dung.

Biggers can't be choosers. Yeah, I'll take that dung. But also, there's some other vegetarians there. The rhino, for example. Giraffe dung. A couple of cages over. I'll take any dung. zebra.

You've got your African dungs there. Donate your dung to the Sprout Project. To Hayley's Walls. The top six other things in the country at critical shortage.

Yeah. We're having a lot of shortages. A lot of problems. Number six on the list. Affordable cheese. Affordable cheese at a critical shortage. Yeah. We're having a lot of shortages. A lot of problems. Number six on the list, affordable cheese. Affordable cheese at a critical shortage. It's wild. What was

the news story? The tasty. $21. Aged tasty is $21 a kg. So yeah, that's posh tasty, but it's still a kg of cheeses at $21. That's nuts. That's posh tasty, but it's still a kg of cheeses at $21. That's nuts, eh?

Yeah. I'd rather live without walls than cheese. What if your walls were cheese? I can't afford it. Yeah, that's for a treat. Not at 20 slices. I simply can't. Thin, thin slices.

Number five on the list of the top six things also a critical shortage in Aotearoa, post offices. I never want to use one, but when I do, there's never one nearby anymore. They've just tucked them all into dairies. I know. And chemists. They've become a little counter as opposed to a full shop, haven't they? Seeing those legendary old post office buildings

turn into other things. Oh, they're always bars. And they call it the post office. Post, yeah. It's a bar because it's got a great area. It's got a great sort of area, a waiting area, doesn't it? They were normally really nice old buildings, weren't they, back in the day? Made to last.

They were government buildings. Absolutely. Very important places. You used to do your banking there. All your posting. That's where you used You used to do your banking there. Yeah. All your posting. That's where you used to go to send your texts. Except your texts

had to be written out on paper. And then they could be folded up and put in another paper. Yeah. And then you'd send them. And that'd take days to get there. Wild. Number four on the list

of the top six other things in New Zealand at a critical shortage. People wearing masks in public. Even though we are constantly being told the next wave is only weeks away. Do our part. Number three on the list of the top six things

at a critical shortage in New Zealand. Discount Easter eggs and chocolates. I feel like we've hit that time where it's just long enough after Easter that I can't get a chocolate bunny for like 99 cents at the checkout anymore. Yeah, they're gone. R.I.P.

R.I.P. You know they've just been put out the bag. Well, you know the chocolate Santas are only weeks away. No, because I was only at the weekend I saw a discount chocolate Santa. Granted, I was in rural Northland, but...

It's been there for like four years. Yeah, they're not big on Christmas in Northland. No, they're not. They don't do it. No, it's too warm. Well, that's how's this chocolate surviving. It's just too warm for Christmas. Yeah, no, they're not big on Christmas in Northland. No, they're not. They don't do it. No, it's too warm. Well, that's how's this chocolate surviving. It's just too warm for Christmas. Yeah, how's this chocolate surviving

this warm period of, you know, Northland? Number six on the list, oh no, number two on the list of the top six things at a critical shortage in New Zealand at the moment. My collection of petrol that I've been hoarding since the 90s when petrol was 90 cents a litre.

Good boy. I'm down to my last drips. Oh no. You imagine the shock. You guys are all 90s when petrol was 90 cents a litre. Good boy. I'm down to my last drips. Oh no. You imagine the shock. You guys are all like oh no, $3 a litre. You've been slowly led there. I've been living on petrol that cost me 90 cents a litre in 1999. Doesn't it go off? What? Petrol does expire. No wonder my car's

been running like a... A what? My car's been running like a... No, I can't say it. My granddad had a saying about when something was running poorly. Oh, I don't think we say granddad sayings now. Yeah, I'm nervous. Turn his mic down.

Don't say it. It's not racist. Send it to us in the message. I'm scared. Don't say it. I'll send it in the message. I'll give it a gauge whether it's radio appropriate or not. Yeah, I don't think we call them that now, Vaughn.

It's plural. Oh, wow. Yeah, don't say that. Bucket of rusty nails, I don't think we call them that now, Vaughan. It's plural. Oh, wow. Yeah, don't say that. Bucket of rusty nails, I believe, is the radio appropriate version of that. Ah, okay, running like a bucket of rusty nails. Yeah. Okay, we can do that. And number one on the list of the top six things that are critical shortage in New Zealand at the moment are

the entire nation's F's left to give. Everybody's running on E when it comes to Fs. Critically. Critically low in the amount of Fs left to give about basically anything. Yeah. That is today's top six. Excuse me.

You're emotional while we're about to talk about it. I am because you know I'm an ally. You are so passionate. You are an ally, and I thank you for that and I feel it every day in the studio from both of you. Spain have made a big move. They have

it's a draft bill at the moment but it's very likely to pass. Right. That is going to give workers three days of optional medical leave a month called menstrual leave with two additional days

permitted in exceptional cases. And this is for those who suffer with painful periods. So they are just saying, you can't just sort of go, oh, my period's here, I'm not going to work. It's for really painful periods.

So three days a month or a year? Three days per month. Okay. Per cycle. Per cycle, yes. No one's coming around to check the pain level. Well, I don't believe you also have to send in proof that you've got it either. Yeah, so take a couple of days. I was going to say take a couple of photos.

I don't think they want to see that. But they're saying it's important to be clear about what they mean by painful periods. Thinking like your endometriosis sufferers who can sometimes have like migraines, fainting, crippling pain, diarrhea, headaches, terrible stuff. So you can take three days per cycle and then an additional two days paid leave if you suffer from this. And to be fair,

so the leader of the left-wing party, he was like, if men had periods, this leave would have come in decades ago. Which is one I'm here to say. They're being super progressive at the moment, Spain. They've done some other things. They've legalised drugs and stuff and made it a health issue rather than a criminal issue.

Very progressive, but I didn't realise this, only a small number of countries already offer menstrual leave, including Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Zambia and Indonesia. Zambia? Indonesia. See, I didn't know that this was, I'd never even heard of it before, even as an idea or a concept. And I think a lot of the time people,

especially people with conditions like endometriosis, who have such painful periods, they'll just take sick leave. And now they don't have to use their own sick leave. They don't have to use their own sick leave or annual leave or unpaid leave. They can apply for this menstrual leave. But yes, I imagine sometimes you might have a very painful period the day after your birthday.

Yeah. Or in the days between Easter and Anzac. Before a long weekend. Yeah, yeah. Oh my God, it's just hitting. Oh, it's really, really sore. I don't know how they're going to measure it. I guess it's like, honestly,

it's the best policy. Or you could just share the app with the boss. Yeah, share your flow tracker with the boss and be like, ah, ah. Which would be problematic for HR, right? Like, that's never going to happen. It really would. But this is cool news. Cool news.

Come on, Cindy, get on board. Well, the budget's today. Maybe Grant Robertson will pop it in there. Well, he's an ally. Yeah. Oh, yeah, he's an ally. Big ally energy from Grant. Big ally energy, actually.

Oh, maybe. Fingers crossed. In America, if you have health insurance, good. You can go to the hospital. If you don't. If you don't, you can't. You're dying in the street. They'll chase you for the rest of time. Recently, a YouTuber went to the hospital. If you don't. If you don't, you can't. You're dying in the street. They'll chase you for the rest of time.

Recently, a YouTuber went to a clinic for help. And she got her itemized breakdown of what cost what on her visit. And she said the most puzzling for her, I mean, she had a capillary blood drawing. They take a bit of blood. It says hemoglobin there, so that must have been a hemoglobin count. Yeah. A PT-focused health risk assessment, $30.

A brief emotional and behavioral assessment, $40. She said, what is a brief emotional behavioral assessment? And it turns out that is because she got emotional when she felt frustrated and helpless and a nurse came and said, they're there. Everything's going to be okay.

They charged her $40 for that. They charged her more for crying than they did for the vision assessment test, the hemoglobin test, the health risk assessment, or the blood drawing. Because she had a little cry. Yeah. I think if you're in hospital, you're allowed to have a little cry. Absolutely.

But stressed? $40. I would love to know how they worked that out. Like how they sort of break down the value of the time you take up for crying. America is so screwed, eh? Like you always see those stories in New Zealand of like,

this is why you should have travel insurance. Dave broke his leg and it cost like $400,000. I know. And you're just like, what? You see horrible stories

of people who like give birth in hospital, right? And then they get this bill. They're like, oh, I can't pay that. Because maybe something went wrong. And you're like,

what are you going to do? Say no? Yeah. Terrible. Yeah. And you've just got to be like, oh, I can't pay that. Because maybe something went wrong. And you're like, well, what are you going to do? Say no? Yeah. Terrible. Yeah, and you've just got to be like, yeah, good. I mean, I know we've got some mouldy old hospitals here. We really do. We're not perfect, but at least, you know, you can go in and it's free.

Yeah, absolutely. You might have to wait with the blimmin' plebs of Friday night. All the drunken. God, the amount of times. Sometimes because I was a pleb of a Friday night, I've been in there. But when you're not, it's horrible. Oh, I got a $40 cry.

Yeah, that's it. Can you put a price on a good cry though? Oh God, no. Oh no, it's probably not. Sometimes you'd pay $40 just to get the crying started. Get it out. Get it out, get it going. Unblock it.

Do you have a go-to for a tactical cry like a movie? No, music. Oh, really? Yeah, like real sad music. Well, like an Adele track or something. No, maybe a bit older, more of a Cat Stevens. Oh, okay. Oh, I know the church and play.

You've got it. It's working. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. 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. We asked. Time for our Silly Little Pole. Yes, and we asked, do you still drink traditional cow's milk? Beef milk.

Beef milk. 71% of people said, yep, sure do. Wow. Why are you surprised by that? I don't know. I guess I just sort of like jumped on the non-dairy milk bandwagon years ago and never returned, even though, I don't know. You eat ice cream?

I don't have a problem. Yeah, I eat ice cream and other dairy. You eat cheese, yeah. I consume a hell out of cheese. Or a lot of people, though. It's just the fact that it doesn't agree with their tummy. Yeah, for sure. I don't even know anymore.

I'll only have, like, tiny amounts in, like, my coffee. You don't get a big mug of milk? I couldn't just... Seeing an adult drink a glass of milk's a weird thing. It's funny, eh?

What are you up to? I know a lot of people still do. So 71% said yes. 29% said no, I use alternatives. Okay. So here are some people's reasonings why. Harley says, I use alternatives. Okay. So here are some people's reasonings why. Harley says, I love milk.

Who loves milk? I have a glass of milk every night before bed. Oh, baby. Really? Yeah. I wonder if it's warm. I wonder if Harley warms it. Gives it a little nuke in the micro.

Nighty says, and her Instagram handle is that farmer's wife. Oh, okay. So she said, I'm a farmer. Got to support the industry. Yeah, true. So I drink milk. Rochelle says I'm dairy intolerant. So all the alternatives that are out now are great.

Yeah, good. There are some goodies. Compared to like, say, even five years ago. Oh my God. You've got so many more like alternatives. Yeah, if you're drinking almond milk still, get in the trash.

That stuff is just water. It's yuck. Gotta go oat. Do you know what I don't mind? What? A little UHT. Oh yeah, no, UHT's all good. What's UHT?

You know that stuff in a castle? It lasts for ages. Oh yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I've got some of that because I don't use a lot of milk just for coffee, so UHT's great. Oh right, so because it, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I've got some of that because I don't use a lot of milk just for coffee. So UHT's great. Oh, right.

So because it lasts longer. Yeah. Do you ever put in a bit of milk powder? Under the coffee? Yeah. No, that's weird. How old school?

God, I remember being a student and, yeah, not drinking a lot of milk but wanting it for like little things. So I used to get milk powder. Mix it up a little bit. Mix it up as I desired.

As you desired from the... You've got to keep it dry or it goes clumpy. Oh, it goes very cl powder. Mix it up a little bit. Mix it up as I desire. As you desire from the... You've got to keep it dry or it goes clumpy. Oh, it goes very clumpy. Very clumpy, very easily. Beck says, I don't like the taste of cow's milk. I only use it in baking. Oh, yeah. Emma says, both. Cow's milk for coffee, raised on a farm. Don't cancel me.

And oat milk for porridge. Oat milk and porridge. You're cooking oats in its own milk. In oats. That's a bit cannibalistic, isn't it? Yeah, it is, isn't it? Oat milk when you have a mocha. An oat milk mocha is legit.

Oh, yeah. It's creamy. Yeah. It's a creamy milk. Hayley says, cow's milk with coffee, cereal, oats, etc. Yeah. Almond milk for smoothies. Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God. You can't have a milk smoothie. A full milk smoothie. That's a milkshake. That's a milkshake. That's a yummier milkshake. Yeah. Almond milk for smoothies. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. You can't have a milk smoothie. A full milk smoothie. That's a milkshake. That's a milkshake. That's a yummy milk shake. Yeah. Annie says, because so many nutritional benefits compared to that.

Oh, so she's pro cow's milk. So many nutritional benefits compared to that nut-based water rubbish. Yeah, it is. It's just nuts and water. It's just blurred up nuts. So there you go. People are still big fans. People are rocking it straight from the cow's teat.

People are still a big fan of the cow's milk, so that's great news. Oh, I know there'll still be farmers milking this time of year. You're autumn carvers. You're well aware of the autumn carvers milking through now. A lot of dairy farmers want to dry it off for the season, though. What was that milk I used in your mum and dad's fridge? Like Silvertop or something? It made me shit myself. Silvertop?

Stolle milk. What's that? It's like raw cow's milk. But my parents do Stolle milk where the cows get an injection and it makes them produce a protein in their milk and it's really good for arthritis and joints and stuff. And clearing your bowels, apparently. I just had a little bit of my coffee and I was like,

Jesus. Blew the gates off you. It's like Avgas compared to petrol, you know. Oh, gorgeous. Get me some of this milk. It'll clear you out. It'll do you right. Next on the show, a great example of why New Zealanders

can't have nice things. Oh, we suck. We just suck because of this. We're terrible people. This story makes me sad. We ruin everything. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Right now we go to Christchurch and... A lot of fun.

A lot of fun to be here in Christchurch. We can't have nice things. What have we ruined? Because a restaurant has scrapped its bottomless brunch option. I don't know many places that did the bottomless brunch that are still doing the bottomless brunch. There's a couple. Doesn't Wellington have a couple that had to be like...

Wellington's got a couple. Wellington had an issue, though. They shut a few down or a few had to kind of... Yeah, no one should be starting on Courtney Place at 10am. That's not right. Well, Kaiser Brew Garden director, Campbell Parker, this is in a news article, said before Christmas, police visited multiple outlets that offered bottomless brunches.

And since that, they have now introduced a long lunch. So it's not a bottomless brunch. It's been renamed long lunch, and it will provide continuous food for 90 minutes, but a cap of five drinks per person. That's not bottomless. That's bottomed. That's bottomed.

Well, it's a long lunch. Ugh, five drinks. Of what nature? Well, it doesn't go into the nature. It'll be like cheap bubbles. Yeah. Pre-mixed sangria or something. Something like that.

Normally your mimosas. Mimosas. Yeah, because they love that cheap bloody orange juice. Pith-free. Yeah. Pith-free orange juice. What orange juice? Are they not using a, what's that, home wine or a super squeezed?

Nah. Nah, they're going cheap. Raro. Raro. Raro and Prosecco. That'll start your day off well. But yeah, so they're cracking down as they have in other parts of the country. Is that because people are getting too rowdy?

Yeah. I mean, having done bottomless brunches on one hand, but also having seen the people that walk around, say, the viaduct or the city at like one o'clock completely trollied. I remember once I was having lunch with a friend at a restaurant bar and the guy next to us didn't look well and then just chundered all over the table. And it was like, it was 1.30 in the afternoon.

Good thing is, though, you wake up the next day feeling good because you go to bed so early. Exactly, but he'd come from a bottomless brunch and there were just people sprawling. He's churning on the table. There were people sprawled all over the place. Churning on the ground? people Sprawled all over the place Like it was bad Shrouding on the ground Yeah

Get him home I remember the first time I did bottomless brunch And I had no idea What I was in for I was like This sounds absolutely Up my alley

And then I was like Oh excuse me I do need to go to the bathroom You walk into the woman's bathroom It is carnage in there And you look at your watch You're like It's 11

What do you mean carnage You're like chummy Stacey Oh no Stacey! You're pretty. This is my worst nightmare. This is why I don't bottom this brunch. Excuse me, can you take a photo of us? Oh my god, I hate that in the dark. I don't want that happening in the daylight.

Do you think Tyrell looks hot? Tyrell? There's no one here called Tyrell. I'm drunk. God, did you eat? It's called a bottomless brunch. The brunch part. Oh, you are. God, did you eat? It's called a bottomless brunch. The brunch part is where you eat something. No, the brunch is the worst part.

The food is never good at the bottomless brunch. Yeah, they give you like eggs with runny whites. And there's never enough. You're never enough. Never enough food. Because they want to get you out of there. Yeah. They don't want to line your stomach too much.

They're going to line the stomach. This is why it's going poorly. Christ, yeah, they've cracked down. So, RIP to the bottomless branch. Come on to Auckland. We're still doing it. And Wellington. Not for much longer, but it's...

I think you should have accepted his Tortilla. It's not called Tortilla. That's like saying Casadilla. I think you should have accepted his tortilla. It's not called Tortilla. It's Tortilla. That's like saying Casadilla or Jalapenos. That's like saying, name a European dish and someone's saying breed. Bread, yeah.

Mispronounced it and it's not a dish. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Hey, now we all know that 18 is the legal age you are an adult. Right? Yes. 18, you are an adult, right? Yes. 18, you are an adult now. You can do whatever you want.

Screw you, mum and dad. I'm out of here. Yeah. Door slammed. Until you need some money. Until you're like, oh my God, university is so expensive. Well, apparently only half of adults considered themselves an adult when they turned 18. When now I'm an adult and I do adult things and I have adult responsibilities.

For the other remaining, it was 53% of people thought they were an adult at 18. The other remaining 47%, thank you so much, 47% said it took until they were at least 29. Oh, wow, okay. 29 years old for adulthood to truly sink in. Now, I sort of relate to this. I mean, I'm 32 and I probably still don't really feel like an adult,

despite, you know, having a relationship and a house and a job. Yeah, but, like, getting a mortgage was, for me, was like, oh, my God. This is, like, something parents do. Yeah, I think maybe that was the first, like, oh my god, this is something parents do. Yeah, I think maybe that was the first, like, oof, like, I'm really doing this, and you get, like, a lawyer. Yeah, I know, and you've never had a lawyer before.

And you've got to print out all your bank statements and show them how you spend your money. And then you log into your internet banking, and there's this amount that's in a minus, and it's got lots of zeros. A huge amount, an anxiety-causing. A huge amount. An anxiety causing crippling amount. And you're like, hide that account. You're like, hide this

account from my feed. You feel like you're getting money and then it's negatives. And then it's just never and then you pay it off and it never changes. It doesn't change. In fact, it sometimes goes up and you're like, what? How does this work? And then you're like, I'm an adult now. This is an adult. Well, there

are the top signs that made people feel like they are an adult. Yeah. Topping the list, living on their own. So moving out of home. So I guess that would sort of tie you to, I mean, I moved out when I was 18. For the first time. Followed

by buying a house. Yeah. Obviously makes you feel like an adult, as we just said. And then getting married kind of confirms that you are now no longer a child. Oh, yeah. You don't belong to your parents. You belong to a man. What was yours? Was it getting married or getting a house?

Or was it sooner than that for you? No, I think it was, yeah, getting the house, which happened like six months before we got married. Yeah. Yes. But then it steps up again when you have kids, I think it was, yeah, getting the house, which happened like six months before we got married. Yeah. Yes. But then it steps up again when you have kids, I think. Yes. That's the next one on the list is having kids

because you have to be an adult now. Yeah. You can't still be a kid. There's a baby. There's another human relying on you being able to adult it a little bit. Yeah. What about is on the list like when you've just left home and you're 18 and your higher purchase a stereo or a bed?

Yeah. Financial stuff. Is that on there? That is on there. Well, buying real furniture. Yeah. You know, like not. A set.

Not a Salvation Army or side of the road couch that you and your flatmates used to put your cigarettes out on. Doing your own taxes for the first time, realising that's a thing. Taxes always make me feel like an adult. Buying business clothes and watching the evening news makes you feel like now I'm an adult. Can you switch that over to the news at like five minutes

so the kids will be watching something on YouTube and I'll be like, hey, can you just flip that on the news? They're like, yeah, okay. It's just there's something really adulty about that. That's settled in. 17% of people say that their increase in caring about the environment has made them realise they're an adult. You know, because as a kid you're like, meh.

You're like, that's an adult problem. But when you start making changes in your life to save the environment, how's that going? makes you feel more mature. Well, I'd love to take some calls on this. Those moments when you felt like an adult. Yeah. When did the penny drop that you're like, like I remember when I was working in retail and someone said,

ask the lady where the toilet is. And I was like, you're the lady? I'm the lady? I'm the lady? No, I'm a child. But you would have been in charge of like locking up the store, right? Absolutely. And like thousands of dollars worth of clothes

and you're doing the banking at the end of the day. Yeah, terrifying. All right, well, 0800DARLS.N. What was the moment where you thought, I'm an adult now? I'm truly a grown up. Yeah, whether it's something from the list or just something little that made you think, wow, this is a lot of responsibility. I'm talking about the moment the penny dropped that you are now an adult.

Yeah. Because a study found that for 50% of people, it didn't happen until they were about 30 years old, not 18, which is the legal adult age, that they went, huh, I am, I'm the adult here. I'm in charge. So we want to know what triggered you into thinking, oh, I'm an adult now. I've arrived. Some messages in when I had to buy the bin tags. I had to pay for my own waste to be taken away.

Yeah, that's adulting. Yeah. When I bought life insurance. That was a big one. Somebody said, a teenager called me ma'am. And I was like, well, I guess I'm ma'am now.

Oh God, ma'am. Oh, that's horrible. Rhiannon, when was the moment you realised that you were an adult? So I had to call up and book my own doctor's appointment.

And I was absolutely crapping my pants. Yeah, because that's something mum would do, eh? Yeah, she's always done it for me. And then she's like, you get the phone. I was like, no, thank you. How old were you? How old? Probably like 17, 18, around there.

Okay. Yeah, well, you are an adult at that point. Yeah. I think your mum was sort of shooing you out the door, around there. Oh, okay. Yeah, well you are an adult at that point. Yeah. I think your mum was sort of shooing you out the door, it feels. She starts hanging up her responsibilities and looking after you. Yeah, and it was expensive, so. You have to pay. That's when you realise you're

an adult, when you're paying for everything. How much? 50? How much? What? Rihanna, thanks for your call. Keep your messages coming in. 9696 0800 dials at M is the number. When did you realise? Oh, I'm an adult now. We want to know when you felt like an adult.

What age and what was it? Somebody said when my parents said they were stopping paying for my health insurance and recommended I pick it up under the same policy or it's going to cost me a fortune. I was like, I don't know what any of this means. I've had that call. I think it's about time. I think it's about time. I think it's about time we take you off the policy.

But on the other side of things, I know people that are still getting their phone plans paid or like they're still on. Oh, really? That was me for so long. And I was like, doing well on TV

and then Pioneer Finance was still paying my phone bill and I was like, Dad just rung me. He was like, we're got to sort this out. We've got to stop this. Yeah. But I know people that still get their car insurance,

they're under mum and dad's plan. Yeah, hell yeah. It's just one of those things that lingers for a while and you, the younger person, hope they never notice. Emma, what was the moment you thought, I'm an adult now? When I got my first pet. Oh, yeah, because it's a responsibility, isn't it? Yeah. So much responsibility.

What age were you? 29. 29, yeah? For the rest of the time, you were just rocking about like a teenager. Oh, no, see, I already had a husband and a baby. I would have thought the baby would have been the moment.

No, I feel like once you get all three of those things, there was the accumulation of getting the pet. I was like, right, this is like the full family adult life. Tick, tick, tick. Over the edge. What kind of pet was it? A kitten, a cat. Oh, yeah, okay.

And that was it? I hope you didn't get a designer cat. I hope you got an absolute rescue. No, he was meant to be a Bengal, but he turned out to be a bit of a dud. Yeah, dud Bengals. Dud Bengals. Yeah, that's a tabby, not a Bengal. That's a tabby with tigery marking.

Wait, so he was a Bengal, but what? The Bengal? Because I know I'm trying to look Bengal tabbyby i think i just got sold and not bingo uh thanks you call emma another emma good morning what was the moment you thought i'm an adult now good morning um two years ago my sister turned 18 i was 24 years and she had a big A-champion. It was like 50 of her friends. My mum asked me to help her out supervising the children. And one of the boys, I went out the front, there was a few boys in the driveway having a drink. One of them was like, oh, you must be our host mum.

Thank you so much for having me. You were like, get off my property. Get out. Don't talk to my sister again. You're older than her, damn it. Jeez, that's a, that was a really,

yeah, that was a horrible moment. Nothing makes you feel like an adult more than someone assuming another human being is your child and they're not.

Yeah, and then all the rest of the boys in the driveway were like, oh no. Amazing. Hey,

thanks for your call. Verity, when was the moment you realised you were an adult? Morning. I was sleeping and I was out and about and it started raining and I became very worried about my washing that was on the line. Oh, yeah.

Not only are you an adult, you're your mother now. Yeah, I remember we'd get home from school and mum would ring, get the washing in. Yeah, quickly. Some showers are coming. I hope you got your washing in. Yeah, quickly. You're like, oh, rain's coming. Some showers are coming. Yeah. I hope you got your washing in. Also, when you were saying

you were out and about, I remember the moment that you used to go to town, you'd just wear a little dress and the moment that you started bringing a blazer or a jacket. That's when you were an adult. You don't want to catch a chill.

Yeah. Amazing. Ashley, when was the moment you realised you were an adult? What do you know, guys? What do you know? I realised I was an adult

when I became a teacher and a fight broke out at school and I was looking around for someone to jump in and help and all the kids were going, Miss, Miss, that's you. And I realised that I'm the adult in this situation now. Ashley, it's terrifying that you only learnt this on your first day or on your first job.

In my defence, it had never happened before. Do you have a good stern voice? I like to think so. Do you go by first name or miss? No, I go by last name, yeah, but usually it's just miss.

Brilliant. Ashley, thanks for your call. More messages in. I realised I realised I was an adult when I bought my first fabric softener I thought I'm really

Putting my name on the power bill. I felt like an adult. I was like, wow, only adults have their name on amenities which is very true. bill. I felt like an adult. I was like, wow, only adults have their name on amenities, which is very true.

This one, we have an audio clip for you. I want you to tell me what movie is this clip from? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate a whole wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? I'm not even mad. That's amazing.

It's an absolute classic. Yeah, what movie is that from? Will Ferrell classic. Amy? I have no idea. You have no idea what that film is? No, I could tell it was Will Ferrell, but I have no idea what that movie is.

You want to guess a Will Ferrell movie? How are we going? We are dead. I finished my cheese. It was, of course. Or should we save it? Should we give it to someone else? No, it was Anchorman. It was my cheese. It was, of course. Or should we save it? Should we give it to someone else? No, it was Anchorman.

It was Anchorman. It was Anchorman. Right. Unfortunately, Amy, no. Let's go to Jennifer. Good morning, Jennifer. Good morning, guys. Oh, God, we're giving away cheese.

Welcome to cheese. We actually haven't given away too much, have we? Okay, well, here we go, Jennifer. This is a nice, easy one for you. What cheese, particularly loved by kids, is wrapped in red wax? Is it Belle? I'll pay that. Baby Belle.

Is it? Baby Belle. I'll pay Belle. Here we go. Awesome. You've won a big block of cheese. I remember cheese used to come in triangles and it would fit in this perfectly round thing. That was good cheese.

That was cool. I've got a hard question here that I really want someone to answer. Okay, well, Caitlin, good morning. Let's have a shot, Caitlin. Welcome to Cheese Quiz. Welcome to Cheese Quiz. Caitlin, do you consider yourself somewhat of a cheese connoisseur?

Oh, mate, if it's got carbs and cheese, like, I'm there. Yeah! Yum. Okay, this might be a good... What about a cheese scone? It'd be right up your bloody alley. Caitlin, what do you do? Yay! You can't beat it. Oh, yum. Okay, this might be a bit... What about a cheese scone would be right up your bloody alley with a can of water?

Oh, you can't beat it. Okay, we have another audio file for you. Who are the two lads singing this song? We are the blokes from down on the bump. We really know our cheese. There's much better value in Chesdale. It never fails to please. Chesdale slices thinly, never crumbles. There's no waste. And boy, it's got a mighty taste. Chesdale slices thinly, never crumbles. There's no waste.

And boy, it's got a mighty taste. Chesdale cheese. It's fine as cheddar. Made better. Now, the clue is their names are in the song. They'd be turning in their grave at the price of cheese now, wouldn't they? Perhaps they would. They'd be very upset.

What are the names of the two lads singing that song, Caitlin? Oh, guys, I don't actually know. I like knew all the other questions up until now. So it's Chez Dale Cheese. What could their names be? Oh, is it Cheese and Dale? Yeah, it's Cheese and Dale. I wanted you to have cheese.

You just wanted her to have cheese. Congratulations. You've won a very expensive block of cheese. Okay. You've got another question? I do have another question. Paul joins us. Welcome to have cheese. Congratulations. You've won a very expensive block of cheese. Okay. You've got another question? I do have another question. Paul joins us. Welcome to Cheese Quiz, Paul.

Cheese. Cheese Quiz. Cheese Quiz. He knows. He knows. Now, I've got two questions up my sleeve here. We've got two left that I want to give to our cheese callers. Do you want a difficult or just a hard?

Just a hard. We're going to just go hard. Okay, which cheese has the highest fat content? Is it A, cottage cheese? B, cream cheese? C, blue cheese? Or D, cheddar cheese? Paul, highest fat content?

Blue cheese. Blue cheese? Not the answer. It's cheddar cheese. Cheddar cheese? Cheese whiz, Paul. Unfortunately, Paul, we'll go to our final caller, Bella. Welcome to Cheese Quiz.

Now, I've done the opposite of what I was instructed to do. I've left the hardest question till last. May I suggest you have Google open? Oh, really? Okay. I'm really nervous. I'm just saying if I was to hear the radio host baffling on a bit, I might open a window on my phone just to be ready.

All right, then. I'm ready. Bella, good. Let's see how much of a cheese connoisseur you are because wine connoisseurs are called sommeliers. What are cheese connoisseurs called? Is it A, a tourophile, B, the big cheese, C, a fromagier, or D, cheddar man?

Yeah, it's got to be that. It's got to be that. Tourophile, the big cheese, fromagerie, or the cheddar man? From a year. From a year? How do you say it? I think I said it, tourophile. That'll be it.

There you go. Yay! I just want to give away cheese. What if it was French? For sure it would have been the front of my head. Yeah, fromage, right, is French for cheese. Yeah. Fromage.

But it's not. But it's not. It's a terrify. It's a cheesery. Bella, another block of cheese for you. Our final winner for cheese quiz. Cheese quiz. Thank you.

Congratulations. Congratulations. Next time you do your shopping you can skip it this week Yeah, nice work Well done Well there's been a study done and it is found

and I don't know if you guys can put yourself in this situation and comment I will but it's found that women are more jealous than men of their spouses or their partners opposite sex friend So I would are more jealous than men of their spouses or their partner's opposite sex friend.

So I would be more jealous of Aaron's female friends than he would be of my male friends. Yes. I don't wish to comment. You asked if I wish to comment. I put myself in the situation. You don't wish to. Why would I put myself in this situation?

Yeah, fickle. Well, I mean, I think I'm a bad case study. There's something in Aaron and I that we've never been jealous. And I know that jealousy is like the poison of relationships. Yeah. And I guess we're just like perfect and everything's easy with us and perfect. Do you know what I mean? Like nothing goes wrong.

But you never fight. You've never had arguments. Never fight. Just like totally agree on everything. Yeah. But no, I've never been jealous of his female friends and I truly don't believe, and I say this with confidence,

that he's been jealous of my male friends. I will say I have a lot of homosexual male friends, so maybe the threat doesn't exist there. Well, no, because that's the results show, even contrary to previous findings, that women tend to be more jealous than men of their partner's opposite sex platonic friends. They're more concerned with sexual infidelity than emotional infidelity. Yeah, right.

So they, yeah. I mean, look, if I had an absolute six foot six giant godlike friend. Jason Momoa. Jason Momoa. And I was like, we're just mates. Maybe he would feel a little bit like he wanted to chuck a couple of kgs on the bar at the gym to compete. Also, like, with me and Aaron, because we went to drama school,

there's something about actors we always kiss on the mouth. So no matter what, like when I see. I mean, pandemic still hasn't solved all these actors just out there kissing on the mouth. Yeah, so when Aaron greets any of his friends male female regardless of sexuality or gender

it's always a kiss on the mouth and I'm the same with my friends we've never had a kiss on the mouth have we you don't kiss on the mouth no

from either of you or Aaron either yeah no Aaron hugs Aaron does do hugs but I've never had a kiss on the mouth do you want one

no we're warming up we're warming up I don't care but it's also like you can tell've never had a kiss on the mouth do you want one? we're warming up we're warming up but it's also like you can tell people that want a kiss on the mouth predominantly my friends are either comedians or actors and it's just

it's funny nice to see you straight on the lips right lip to lip so no jealousy whereas the minute someone says hello to me I turn my head

so the lips aren't kissing your ear yeah I'm like, no. What if he was still friends with a long-term ex? Because a lot of people have problems with that, right? I guess it's just not the case, so I haven't had to deal with that. I think you'd probably find it hard if they were all, you know,

like touchy and then you think about them together. They're past. Yeah. I don't like it. Make the image go away. But nah. What does it say about men do that they still care but not as much? Yeah, they're just not as bothered by it.

It's arrogance. They're like, well, would she ever need anything else? Yeah, it is. It's male arrogance. She's not going to leave me. It's male arrogance.

It is. How I long for a little bit of it. I just want a kiss of male arrogance. Play it. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Man, the guts dropped out of that one halfway through.

Sorry, I had a little choke in the middle. Well, today's Fact of the Day isn't about steam locomotives, but you can expect some in the future because I've been just doing my own little reading on steam engines. This is the whole show since like 6 o'clock this morning, every 10 minutes. Guys, do you know how much water a steam locomotive uses? It blew my mind. Like they're powered literally by steam

and they're constantly hissing out steam. Yeah. And then 10 minutes later, do you know how they get the water in? Everyone talks about the coal and you always see the coal being shoveled. No one ever talks about how much water they're using and where do they get the water in? Everyone talks about the coal and you always see the coal being shoveled. No one ever talks about how much water they're using and where do they get the water

from and how do they get the water on the train without stopping. What happens when they run out of water? Explosions. I've got questions. Big bad explosions. I hate to say it, Fletch, I'm hooked. Never run out of water in a steam locomotive. But that's not today's fact of the day. But expect some steam locomotive fact of the day is coming up. Something for the listeners to get excited about.

In the future. Oh God, you can hear them. Might drop one in tomorrow. You can hear them. You can hear them tuning out. On Frisky Friday, might give you some steam locomotive facts. Oh, yum. Get you horny for trains.

Today's fact of the day is about another mode of transport. It is about the Rolls-Royce Ghost. This is the absolute pinnacle. This is a car? Luxury vehicles. Yes, it's a Rolls-Royce Ghost. This is the absolute pinnacle. This is a car? Luxury vehicles, yes. It's a Rolls-Royce. It's not a Rolls-Royce engine on a plane. Yep.

That's all the Rolls-Royce do otherwise, eh? I think so. Do they do plane engines? Yeah. Yeah, Rolls-Royce do plane engines. Huge manufacturers of plane engines are the go-to. So the Ghost, 17-foot long, quite a long car, costing more than $300,000 US.

And it is like the pinnacle of luxury. However, they made a mistake in the design. They wanted to make this car soundproof. Like, you know when you're driving in a cheap car and you can hear tires on road, and then you'll get taken in a nice car and you're like, why can't you hear the road as much? They wanted to completely eliminate outside sounds.

Oh, like a sound booth. Yeah. So you'd get in and you'd shut the door. The outside world would be gone to you. You wouldn't hear the road noise. You wouldn't hear someone tooting at you? You wouldn't hear someone tooting at you. You wouldn't hear someone tooting at you. Isn't that dangerous?

You know when a motorbike sneaks up on you in traffic and then goes past and you shit yourself like, and you're like, you wouldn't hear that either. There'd be no fright. However, the problem was when it was too quiet, people found themselves disorientated and really carsick. Yes. Because they had no sounds to balance out what was happening.

When you go into a sound booth to do voiceover or something and the door goes, and there's like dead noise. It does. It makes you feel a little bit queasy. Yeah, because your inner ear is like, I need some sound for some balance. I need to be hearing something. To orient where I am in the world.

Yeah. And even like when you talk and it bounces off a wall, you don't know it's happening because you're not a dolphin, but you do get a sort of a sense of your location in a space from a reflection of sound. Yeah. They used 220 pounds of sound insulating materials, including the window glass.

The tires even had something in them to eliminate sound created by it. Windscreen wipers and air vents were, like, specially designed to eliminate, like, whistles and squeaks. Oh, imagine never hearing your window wipers. I know. How would you? That'd be weird. Weirdly weird.

How would you know how to turn them off? I only know when they need turning off because they start going, weee! Weee! Weee! Dragging a dry bone. Yeah. So they made this car, and then they spent all this money making it soundproof,

and then when test driving began, people were like, I feel sick. I hate that you're not a fan. I don't feel well the minute I get into that car and start driving, because it's literally too soundproof. Yeah, it would be awful. So they remedied that by stripping some of it out and making it so you could hear a few things again. Putting a little bit of air in.

Yeah, a little bit of a whistle here, squeak there, a bit of road noise on the road, the way you went. Yeah, so today's fact of the day is Rolls-Royce made a car that was too soundproof. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We're just talking about Vaughan not getting COVID.

Hang on, how long was that playing? Oh, look, a while. We're here. We're here. We're here. Ap Vaughn not getting COVID. Hang on, how long was that playing? Look, a while. We're here. We're here. Apologies to the listeners. Vaughn's having a little bit of a panic because... He's going to Disneyland on Tuesday night. You fly out to Los Angeles.

COVID gods be kind. People at work are dropping like flies. We've lost our car wean. Yeah, a number of people in the office. I did just pop to the toilet. And we're wearing masks at the moment, but a lot of people aren't. And I walked past the office and I heard the most deep, chesty hack. Oh, no!

I've ever heard. It's coming for me! It's coming. I know you shouldn't blame it and people will blame us, but if I get it and I find out who gave it to me, I'm demanding that they take me to Disneyland. No, you can't be like that because it might be one of us. Well, I'm demanding you take me to Disneyland.

If you don't get to go to Disneyland, I don't think I've ever seen you like you will be. Sade had to sit me down last night and be like, okay, positive thoughts, it's not going to happen. And you're doing everything you can. You're wearing a mask. You're washing your hands. I'm like, kids, kids, wash your hands. Kids, wash your hands. Kids, wash your hands.

Don't go near anybody at school. Be the kid that lingers in the outfield. Oh, my God. You'm like, kids, kids, wash your hands. Kids, wash your hands. Kids, wash your hands. Don't go near anybody at school. Be the kid that lingers in the outfield. Oh, my God. You're like 2020 pandemic. You've gone backwards to Feb 2020. I know, but I've never had anything relying on. We've been scrubbing our groceries. Yeah.

Oh, I'm wiping apples with dead old bleach wipes. Oh, yeah. I've had it. You're going to have it again? Your time's nearly up. People are getting it. People are getting it For a second time now I've just got it Don't put it into the universe

Any more than it needs to be Put into the universe This is how I live my life Just it doesn't Don't welcome it into your life Can I broadcast the show From my tree hut For the rest of the week

Yes And I'll call it The Vaughn Smith isopod Lonely week for Fletch next week. Well, I tell you what, the nation waits. Will Vaughan make it to his flight on Tuesday night? It's drama. It's high stakes drama.

Should we do a poll? Do we think Vaughan will make it? Or should we send some thoughts and prayers? We'll do thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. Yeah, thoughts and prayers, please. Keep me in your prayers. Next on the show, there is a New Zealander who...

That's how God works, right? He, like, someone who doesn't believe in him gets rewarded by dodging a virus so he can go to Disneyland. Yeah, I believe so. Especially someone like yourself. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, do you know who needs a little hand at the moment?

That white guy that's got it all already. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Vaughn's just walked through the office and heard the chesty cough. I heard the chesty cough. You heard it. I just went to the toilet, masked up, like, don't come near me, and I heard the chesty cough.

The cough I told you about. That cough shouldn't be at work. Go home. Can we find out who this is, please, and we'll get them on here. We'll dox them. We're going to give names. IRD number. That'll be fine.

Home address. You know that if you get COVID, you can still have a cough for weeks after, right? Yeah, but does it have COVID in the cough? No, it doesn't. Doesn't it? You'll be fine. Look, stop panicking. You'll make it to Disneyland.

Yeah, if you're putting it into the universe, you've got to stop it. Guys, I've got great news. Shrimpy Boy is going overseas to represent New Zealand in the Drone Racing Championships League in Europe. Great news, because I hadn't heard of Shrimpy Boy 10 seconds ago, and now he's already right up there. Racing, like speed racing. Oh, that's so good.

Does he wear, oh, yeah, he wears the goggles. He wears the goggles. So they reach speeds of up to 180 to 190 Ks. I've seen videos online. They race around like, well, courses and like stadiums and stuff. It's nuts. And he is going. He is going.

He's 25 and will be in a racing team based in Spain. Wow. So they have a track, like they follow it like a race course. Yeah. Wow. But isn't that weird? Like I've kind of seen the odd video, but I didn't know that was a thing. No, neither.

No, I knew. It's insane. And you watch the videos and then you see what they're seeing and you don't know how these guys aren't like, because you know when you do virtual reality and you put on the goggles and it like moves and you go, bleh, and you don't know how these guys aren't like you know when you do virtual reality and you put on the goggles and it like moves and you go and you fall over. They're racing through tiny gaps

and warehouses and stuff. But there's actually a drone, eh? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But why do they wear the VR goggles? To see where the drone's going because it's going to go through like checkpoints. It's going so far away. It's like those Red Bull plane races. Oh, those are wild. But they're doing it semi-virtually because they are piloting a drone,

but they're doing it from standing still. Yeah. This is like when I found out there was a checkout championships. Yes. So our very own producer, Jared. Well, he was actually Pack and Save Albany Checkout Check of the Year 2017. I don't believe they call you Checkout Check. No, they are.

Were you the Checkout Chick of the Year? No. I wasn't even close. Regardless of gender. Jared, don't sell yourself short. You were Checkout Chick of the Year. Don't be humble. Okay, maybe I was.

You were Checkout Chick. So what's this competition you entered? So they chose certain checkout operators to enter the Checker of the Year competition where we went to a high school and there were fake checkouts set up on the big stage and adjudicators would come

and they'd place... Wait, was this just all the pack and save operators or this is all supermarkets? Remember we met the countdown lady who was checkout operator of the year. So she's the operator but Jared's the chick. I remember her name. She's lovely

though. So Jared, is it about speed of pushing product through? There's a lot of factors. What are the factors? You got a bit of chat? Yeah, a bit of chat. One of them is like chat, so like conversation. I failed on that part. Oh really? I love your chat. I love your chat, Jared.

The other one was like scan rate so how fast you poop yeah um we had to give the correct change without using the calculator machine what about bagging you know the layout of being always packing save they don't do bagging oh my god yeah they're like go get a box yeah we didn't have to just like swoop it into a box how Yeah, we didn't have to box or bag. You could just swoop it into a box. How did you go at the checkout championships? My conversation scored low. My scan rate scored high. My change was incorrect by quite a bit.

You've got to work on your chat a bit. And your maths. So you missed out. But it's wild. There are all these championships and competitions that in everyday life we wouldn't know about normally. Yeah, comps. And that's what I wanted to ask this morning.

Has anybody listening been involved in an unusual industry competition or a sport like drone racing? Yeah, or maybe an internal work thing like these checkout championships. Checkout champs. Checkout chick champs. Well, I'd just love to hear. 0800 DALS at M. You can text in 9696. Have you been involved in like industry champions?

Maybe you're a winner of something. Yeah. Strange championships. Like fastest phone reception answering. I wonder if we've got any sort of food eaters, you know? Fast, fast food eaters. What's that called? Eating comps.

They dip their hot dogs in a cup of water. We want to know if you've ever been involved in an industry competition or some kind of unusual competition. A New Zealand guy is off to take part in the European Champions League drone racing. Yeah. And Jared was telling us about his checkout championship. Checkout Chick Champ. He was in.

He was Checkout Chick of the Year 2017 at Pack and Save Albany, I believe. That's a big pack and save. That's a big pack and save, yeah. Huge honour. It was absolute. You may have remembered Jared there from his time working there. Yeah, but apparently he had crap chat, so you might not remember him. He might have shortchanged you 50 cents as well if it was cash.

Joe, what was your industry competition? Morning, mate. I used to be an arborist, or as I like to refer to, a tree surgeon. Okay. And we had yearly competitions held by, I don't know, whatever governing body where all the companies would get together and we did stuff like who can climb up the tree the fastest and who can throw the little hacky sack string through the correct part up the tree the fastest and who can throw the little

hacky sack string through the correct part of the tree the best. Wow! Do you throw the string through on the hacky sack? Why do you do that? It's called like a throw line. So basically it's a hacky sack on a really

small fishing line sort of size nylon string, and you throw it through the crotch of a branch, which is like the fork in a tree, and then you pull through your climbing line on that. So instead of having to climb up it bit by bit, you can basically climb right to the top of the tree on the first hit. Are you any good, Joe?

Naturally amazing. Oh, yeah, I can hear it. I can hear it. I can hear it. You can hear it. Was there a competition for husband clambering up tree to cut off branch and wife screaming

you better not fall and kill yourself? Because I've had that a couple of times lately and I think I'd be a champion at it. Yeah, you might take gold for that, yeah.

Hanging onto a tree that'll go no business being up, let alone cutting down. Joe, thanks. You called some messages in. So many. I've never heard of half of these.

I know, but now I want to go and watch them all. My brother-in-law was part of a forklift competition. He didn't win, but he came top five in the country. Picking things up and putting them down. There is nothing like a crown. Someone said, my cousin went to the International Plumber of the Year competition a few years ago.

What do they do? Do they need volunteers to come take a big dump in a toilet? Oh, you've got a big one here. How is he going to handle this? Do you reckon they line up like 10 plumbers under sinks and you've got to look and judge who's got the best crack? Yeah. Maybe the crack comes into play. Maybe shorty shorts.

Beautiful trail of hair from the small back to the crack there. Oh, yeah, right down to the crack beard. Oh yeah, right down to the crack beard. And he's wearing his tradie undies with the correct day of the week on them as well.

There you go. It is indeed a Tuesday. It's the perfect 10. Someone said, I worked in a hotel as a cleaner and we went to a conference and had a bed making

competition with the other hotels. Oh my God, the corners. Hospital corners. Hospital corners. Yeah. And then the turn down of course, equally as important. Gorgeous. And then the Turn down of course

Equal is important Gorgeous And then do you reckon They'll throw you a curve ball They're like someone's Left their Last guest has left Their adult fun toys

In the top drawer Yeah Next to the Gideon's Bible What do you do? They just make sure You're checking They wouldn't tell you about it They'd let you

Find it yourself Sure Talking about your unusual Or your industry I mean they're unusual to us But maybe not to you Your industry competitions Like a guy's going to be on a drone racing league

A New Zealand guy And Jared had his checkout chick competition Yes Some messages in I was in a speed 18, 10, 70 18, 10, 30 It was a speed waxing competition in the UK years ago

Speed like Brazilians We had to wax half a leg, knees down, and Brazilians, whoever got their hair off first with all the before and after care applied won a year's worth of wax. I didn't win because I glued somebody's genitals shut. You should never speed wax the genital area. I don't think speed is of concern.

I want precision. Yeah, that's not a competition. Speed wax hair. Your legs, the back is a fairly forgiving area. But the genitals are famously delicate. So you're sitting there and someone's like glued your bits together. And like I'm assuming another judge has to come in or a couple of judges. So everyone's looking.

Oh my God, you're looking at the quality, getting right in there to see and make sure they've got all the bits and bobs. That's weird. That's wild. I've seen it played at parties, but somebody won a New Zealand beer pong tournament and got invited to the international beer pong tournament in Munich, Germany. Paid for me and my partner, travel and accommodation.

Ended up making the quarterfinals, but in the quarterfinals I didn't even get a shot because my opponent didn't miss a single time. Just went round and got them all in. Were they sober? I don't know. That's actually a good call. I don't know.

Yeah. Stephanie, what was your industry competition that you were involved in? Morena, guys. Morena. I, this was probably a good 10 years ago. I used to work at McDonald's. Oh, yeah. So they've actually got a couple

that I personally have been involved in. Okay. So I was in the McCaff and they had... Show sponsor. Show sponsor. Show sponsor. You've got to say grab any size McCaff coffee for only $4. Conditions apply.

You didn't say that, Vaughan. The conditions apply. Do conditions apply? Just a message, man. You get the finer details. What do the competitions... Entail. Entail. So they have a barista comp. So they start off with regions.

Yeah. So I fell under the Waikato region. Cool. And then they take the top three from each region and they go into the nationals up in Auckland. So just like sports or anything, really? Regional? Yeah.

At a national level. Did you win? Where did you place overall New Zealand-wide? I didn't quite make it to nationals. Oh. Yeah. Why are we talking to this loser? Can we get the winner on?

Give me a win! I actually know the girl that beat me. Get her on the phone. Is she with you? Can you pass the phone to her? You're on the rivalry. It does sound like there was some rivalry. What did you win?

What did you win if you won nationals? I believe there was a trip involved. Stephanie wouldn't know. She's a loser. I didn't get that. loser. You go Google it. Only kidding, Stephanie. Stephanie, amazing. Thank you for sharing. Gene, you've been involved in some

industry competitions. So we do excavator competitions. So, you know, big diggers and things. Oh! Do they just like take you to the middle of a big field and they're like, dig some terraces?

No, no. Actually, quite often they have them in a show, quite often truck shows. Last year, I think we were actually in an aquarium with a separate show

all together. It was an opening of a transport museum. And we, there's actually almost no digging involved. Most of it is, like we've got to

pick up an egg, an unboiled egg, drop that into a styrofoam cup without breaking it. Oh! And is that possible to do? Yes. Yeah, it's all possible. It all can be done. Are you any good at this, Gene?

Do you fare quite well in these competitions? Yes. I've been to the competition three times, and every time I've placed to the competition three times and every time I've placed in the top three. Jean, I'm the dig dig.

Jean, I've actually got a retaining wall that needs to be put in the back of my property. I might get your number. Hayley's going to place

a dozen eggs on her back lawn and you've got to get them all out of the property. There you go. All right, Jean, thanks for your call.
