Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe, great barista made coffee on the go.
Now, Hayley, as you'll hear us mention in the podcast a few times today, sick with a throat infection.
Yeah.
So she'll be back.
Apparently a non-contagious throat infection,
but a throat infection nonetheless.
Yeah.
I thought they were contagious.
Are they not?
Well, I don't know because I thought I got strep throat
from somebody on a plane with strep throat when I got strep throat,
but maybe she doesn't have strep throat.
Right.
Maybe it's just a throat infection.
But then, yeah, I assumed that they were contagious, but she said they aren't contagious. Oh, okay.
Maybe unless you're smooching. How do you get them? A throat infection.
You just get run down. Right. Yeah, throat gets a little...
Okay. Well, producer Jared, he's not feeling great
either. Today he's got an ailment. Yeah, I'm getting older.
Okay. How old are you for the podcast listeners?
I'm 28 for another two weeks.
Is that another fucking present we have to put in for?
Maybe.
Why do we...
Guys, please.
I just feel like everyone's having a birthday.
Famously, once a year.
I didn't get a present for my birthday But I'm putting in For all these presents
That's okay
Your presents

Where was my present
I feel like you got a present
You did get a present

Yeah
That's fair she did
She was like
Leaving party
Leaving party
Leaving lunch Where's my present?
How many fucking things am I putting in for here?
And she had a birthday just before she left, didn't she?
We should have skipped that birthday
because she's gone now.
We didn't know.
You have to be here for the full year following your birthday.
You're getting a present in advance
of your upcoming birthday.
I have been here one of the longest and I still haven't. I'm just saying
next year maybe put in triple. Because I put in a lot of money for these anyway
carry on jared what's your ailment um 29 soon yeah no i'm creeping up on the on the years so
i think i'm getting uh what's it when you eat spicy food and your tummy says oh no oh indigestion
indigestion yeah i'm getting that which is a a shame. I love spicy food. I can feel your pain because now that I've had COVID again,
I've got the burps back and a bit of reflux.
Yeah, it's real yuck.
But do you know what I love?
Gaviscon.
Shit, that's yum.
In tablet or drink form?
I got the drink form.
I could just shot that, eh?
Maybe add a bit of Miduri?
Is Gaviscon the same as a Quickies?
It's similar, yeah
Similar kind of stuff
Yeah, I think
the Gaviscon's more of a
Was the Gaviscon
the one where
the firefighters
walked down the throat
spraying the white spray
everywhere?
Yes, it was
That was Gaviscon
Yep
Okay
Why are you laughing?
It was a bit jizzy, wasn't it?
It was very jizzy
It was a bit jizzy
It was a very jizzy
commercial for prime time
do you think they knew what they were doing?
I think they did
are we sure that was Gaviscon?
I can't find any
I think it was Gaviscon
it was one medicine anyway
it was a medicine in the ad
for those that haven't seen the ad in New Zealand
these tiny firefighters
are in someone's throat with a big hose
creaming all this.
I can't believe I just said that.
I apologise.
She pours it into the spoon.
I'm watching it now.
And then they trudge.
The thing is when they're trudging on her tongue.
Ew.
It's a real.
Squelchy.
Yeah.
Like they're trudging through sort of like foot deep mud.
And then they're like, come on. I've got the audio here if you want to feed my party, house party.
She's like, burning in the chest.
Is that a heartburn?
She goes to the medicine.
Quick lads, this lady needs our help and fast.
She's suffering from heartburn and needs Gaviscon.
She can feel the cooling and soothing already.
Oh, there's the jizz cannon.
No.
What a feeling.
Gaviscon.
What a feeling.
Yeah.
And they just walk in and throw it, spraying the jizz cannon.
Wow.
Okay.
Who signed off on that ad?
You know what?
It's British, isn't it?
It's British.
Yeah, that was gaviscon.co.uk.
Yeah, that'll be why.
They pulled up in a fake fire truck.
It's just, yeah.
Oh, they reanimated the ad in Australia.
Let's see if it's any different.
Do you reckon they changed the voices?
She needs relief.
Yep.
Gaviscon starts to soothe
in just four minutes and lasts
for up to four hours to provide
long lasting relief.
Is it the same lady?
What a feel. It's the same lady
and most of the same animation
they've just changed it a little bit because in the British
one he poked the side
and was like, she's burning
up. But in this one he's just like spraying the cannon and then he poked the side and was like, oh, she's burning up. But in this one,
he's just like,
ah,
spraying the cannon
and then he pats the floor.
Oh, right.
Okay.
I don't know.
Maybe the patting the wall
was too erotic,
so he patted the floor.
Maybe there were complaints.
As a replacement.
Maybe there were complaints.
I don't know.
Oh, here's another one.
Here's another one.
This is John.
John suffers from indigestion.
His twin James
suffers from heartburn.
Sometimes it's the other way round or both. That's why they use Gaviscon suffers from indigestion. His twin James suffers from heartburn. Sometimes it's the other way round or both.
That's why they use Gaviscon Double Action.
It soothes in three minutes and lasts up to four hours.
For dual relief from heartburn and indigestion, Gaviscon Double Action.
So there's two firefighters there.
One traditional white Gaviscon and then a pink Gaviscon.
Oh, okay.
So the white guy was spraying the cannon
all around the outside of his purr,
but the other guy went straight to the guts
and just pumped the pink hose
straight into the guts.
Right, okay.
Fantastic.
I had a whole thing, didn't I?
I feel for you, though.
Yeah, right.
So eating two bigger meals.
You don't eat big meals.
No, I don't.
But because we had a multiple meal stopover and I had a spicy thing, suffered, recovered,
had another spicy thing, suffered again.
Oh, dude.
Do you think it's a post COVID thing?
Cause I'm Googled.
It's not a, it's not a big post COVID symptom for a lot of people.
But it is a thing.
It's a thing.
Yeah.
Cause I know when I had it last time, I'd, I never burp after eating and i'd always do burps little tiny cute burps just like
delicate yuck so not a belch because about not it's not about and it would always be after eating
and i was like that's so weird that would never happen and then it went away when my long covid
symptoms went away and then just recently got it again and back on the burps oh yeah i'm gonna i'm
gonna chalk it up
To COVID
Rather than getting old
Yeah
Otherwise get a big bottle
Of the jizz cannon
From the chemist's warehouse
Yep
My dad'll do the quickies
A roll of those quickies
Quickies doesn't have
All the stuff in it
That the other stuff
Does
Oh really
Like a Mylanter
Or you get the big
Big tabs of that stuff
Tums
I don't know if that's a thing
In America they call it What do they call it Pepto-Bismol Or something like that Yeah That get the big tabs of that stuff. Tums? I don't know if that's a thing. In America, what do they call it?
Peptibismol or something like that.
That's the big one over there.
I'm reading this FDA government drugs information situation on heartburn and indigestion.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it mentions Mylanta.
Okay.
Good chat.
Good chat.
Great chat.
Good chat.
Good stuff.
Ouch.
But that's my worst nightmare, having anything.
You know, people are like, oh, I'm sensitive or a gluten.
I can just eat anything.
Spicy food.
Yum, yum, yum, yum.
Gout's my nightmare, and I know that's coming.
I thought you were going to say your nightmare is having tiny firefighters inside of you.
No.
No, quite the opposite, actually.
A little bit of a dream of mine.
Play ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Hello, good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
It's two minutes past six.
Minus Hayley today.
Yeah, lads, lads, lads.
Lads, lads, lads.
Stroke infection.
Yeah, shit to go to the White Cross at the weekend.
Yep.
And if you've ever been to the White Cross on the weekend, you'll know that that's a
special experience.
God, they jack up their prices at the weekend, don't they?
Doctors don't like working weekends.
I wouldn't if I was in a fully qualified medical position.
No, neither.
I don't work weekends, and I've got the most minimal of qualifications.
So, like, what is it?
Like, strep throat.
Didn't you have that once?
Nah, I don't know if it was strep throat.
They swabbed.
That's high-end throat infection.
Right. She might have just had a throat infection. But they would have swabbed for strep throat. They swabbed. That's high-end throat infection. Right.
She might have just had a throat infection.
But they would have swabbed for strep throat, so I guess she'll get that.
Right.
How do you get that?
Do you not mouthwash enough?
I don't know.
So I'm a big mouthwasher.
Big mouthwasher?
Big mouthwasher.
Goggler?
Goggler?
I'm a bit of a gargler.
Lady Goggler over here.
That's actually my drag name.
That's a my drag name. It's a solid drag name.
Carween and the social media desk,
you are our RuPaul drag race correspondent.
How would that go for a drag race?
How would that go for a drag name?
Oh, actually, you're going to the microphone.
No.
No.
Producer Jared's left the booth. Jared's gone to the printer. No. No. Producer Jared's left the booth.
Jared's gone to the printer.
No, that's not,
it's definitely not my end.
We'll wait,
we've got time.
Yeah, no,
we'll wait until you've
sorted out your microphone.
No.
No.
Well, it's those ones
at the top,
I reckon you've got
a top button issue.
Okay, out of 10
using your fingers,
how out of 10 is the drag name Lady Gargler?
No, she's still...
Jared!
Eight!
Can you press the buttons?
What are you doing?
He's going to the printer.
He's got a printout today's show planned.
Press the buttons.
I did that.
It was the top button, wasn't it?
It was the top button. No, it was the faders. Oh, okay. I did that, told you it was the top button wasn't it it was the top button
no
no it was the faders
oh okay
I did that
but obviously not now
okay
alright
Lady Garglar
as a drag name
oh so good
yeah thank you
yeah that's a great drag name
someone's probably taken
I bet there's already
a Lady Garglar out there
I'll tell you
yeah
is there a drag name registrar
nah but there should be.
Like they do for Roller Derby.
Roller Derby, yeah. Once you've got your Roller Derby
name, you can't have another Roller Derby name.
Like it anywhere in the world.
Drag name registry.
I am looking at...
Drag Kings Unite International
Drag Name Registry.
Drag Name Registry. Hey, Kings,
check out this registry.
I'm just going to Google then. I'll Google
Lady Gargler. You've got to
say it like that too. Lady Gargler.
Lady Gargler. Drag
name.
Slight typo there.
I'm just going to. Lady Gargler.
Yeah.
List of queens. There's not. There's no immediate. This is fantastic. There's no immediate Lady gargler. Yeah. List of queens. There's not.
There's no immediate.
There's no immediate.
This is fantastic.
Yeah.
What a great day for me.
Well, anyway, Hayley, gargling aside, well, I'd say it'd be away a couple of days.
She's on the antibiotics.
Yes.
For the throat infection.
Yeah.
And that means we've got to delay Monday Maestro.
So I was very excited about this,
our competition to try to find the biggest celebrity we could
to get on the show.
I've had to text my celebrity just now to say,
hold off today.
Okay.
Yes, just hold off.
And they said, lucky because I'm very drunk.
That's good.
That's good.
You don't want someone getting themselves cancelled.
That would have been a year worth of that too, yeah.
Yeah.
Coming up on the show this morning are the top six.
Neighbours, you'll remember.
Neighbours.
Everybody needs good neighbours.
It got cancelled because it stopped screening in the UK.
The UK broadcasting partner stopped that and the budget just plummeted
and they're like, well, we can't do it anymore and they cancelled.
It's been uncancelled, ceremoniously uncancelled,
and it's going to be back on Amazon Free V.
Oh, wow.
I don't know what that is.
Is it the free version of Amazon?
Do they have a free version?
Okay.
Maybe this is what they're using to launch it.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Yeah, but I've got the top six to do with Neighbours coming up.
All right.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Well, this week, Candy Crush turns 10.
I was thinking of Bejeweled Blitz.
Yes.
Bejeweled Blitz has been around longer.
Right.
Candy Crush was like a copy.
Right.
It was like one of those ones.
I've never played Candy Crush, but
it was, you'd drag a candy and it
made a line of four and it would disappear and give
you points, right? Yeah, and this and Bejeweled,
that's what you always see the mums and aunties
playing on the plane
on their iPad or their phone.
Yeah, they love it. They do.
So it's turned 10
and, yeah,
started out in Facebook, didn't it?
And then became an app, yeah, an in-browser game.
Like Farmville was.
Yes.
An in-browser app, an in-Facebook app.
Over 3 billion players have installed Candy Crush Saga so far.
And they say that they could be repeat downloads.
Right.
Like, you know, you go through a couple of phones in the last 10 years.
Yeah.
So you've got to re-download it.
But yeah, 3 billion downloads.
It's one of the top grossing games.
And the company that owns it, their net revenue from gaming was $1.78 billion in Q3 of 2022.
So just in the last third quarter.
That's crazy.
Mum's paying $1.69 for a few more energy.
Because that's the thing, right?
You run out of energy and you've got to wait for it to boost up.
The idea is that you'll pay because you want to get it done sooner.
Because I'm just looking at Bejeweled,
which I believe it's based off Was first released in 2001
Yeah because when it said 10 years
I was like that doesn't seem right
Because
There's been
You were playing Farm
You were playing Farmville
Like 13 years ago
Yeah
Years ago
Yeah
So yeah
I think
There was Bejeweled before that
But there must be something about
Candy Crush must have nailed the buy-in
Yeah
Both
Financial buy-in But also En masse financial buy-in, but also en masse.
I mean, once you crack that auntie market,
you know, once you get into that mum market.
Solitaire's down.
They're not playing Solitaire on the Windows computer anymore.
R.I.P. Minesweeper.
R.I.P., yeah.
Minesweeper needed to be like,
you've clicked on a bomb for $1.69,
we can make that bomb disappear.
Because they've got rid of Minesweeper now, right?
Haven't they?
Wasn't that a thing?
They were like,
we're getting rid of Minesweeper?
I don't know.
You can still play it online.
Right.
Because I think I played it online
not so long ago.
I just found Minesweeper
in browser.
But yeah, I don't know
if it still comes on
Windows computers.
Does Solitaire?
Does Spider?
Does Hearts?
The game no one knew how to play?
Yeah, I don't know.
Just randomly clicked Hearts and hoped for the best?
Again, you just get an app, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
Coming up on the show before seven,
we've got your chance to guess the instrumental.
Hayley, we were going to do this with Hayley Sick today.
She was going to play on the electronic keyboard
that we have in the studio.
So would you like to play the instrument?
Give it my God's best.
Because, I mean, you've done a little bit of piano training.
Yeah, I did.
You've done a thousand miles.
Yeah.
I can try.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
I've never heard of these guys,
but best of luck to them going forward as a business.
This porn hub never has released the most popular relative search terms guys, but best of luck to them going forward as a business. Pornhub never
have released the most popular
relative search terms.
Because when I read this, I was like, this is a lie.
This is brilliant marketing, don't get me wrong,
but every region of New Zealand
has got a different top search.
But it's relative
search terms, so it's terms
searched more often in each region when
compared to the rest of the country. So it's terms searched more often in each region when compared to the rest of the country.
So it's what this area is searching more than other areas.
Right.
Now, most of them I can't read.
No, and that's fair enough.
Even at this time of the morning.
Yes, yeah.
We thought about doing a podcast-only expose,
but even then we thought it really does.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
But there was one that we could read out and that has really raised a question mark.
About the Bay of Plenty.
Oh, Bay of Plenty.
Tauranga.
Whakatane.
Yeah.
Rotorua slipping into this by this map of where the cuts go through.
So if you are in that area or you know someone in that area,
we've got a question and we should all have a question really.
Why are you searching pillow humping on Horn Hub more than any other area?
Like Northland.
Do you know what Northland searches?
What? Naked girls.
Now I assume there must be a lot of very young boys not meant to be searching anything on this website
because it is R18.
Get home from school before mum and dad, and that's the first thing.
Very uncreative searching.
Yeah.
But they have plenty.
Pillow humping.
Pillow humping.
It's conservative.
I didn't even know.
It is.
Tauranga's, you know, what's the old saying?
It's white and Christian.
That's not the old saying.
Old sayings tend to rhyme or fly off the tongue Better than white and Christian
Yeah, I don't know
Conservative area
I didn't even know that was a category
Is it a category?
No
I don't know
Right
Is that, could you go to heaven for watching pillow humping?
Will that get you into heaven?
Well, I mean, maybe
Maybe it's a loophole search. Yeah.
It's not really nudey, is it?
You don't have to be nude to hump a pillow.
I've never humped a pillow, I thought.
And correct me if I'm wrong, I thought that was more
of a female. Although, we do
have body pillows.
And how good is a body pillow?
I koala mine, but I don't hump
actually. I'll snuggle up to mine, but I'm not
humping it.
There's certainly no grinding going on.
There's very little, other areas, very little that can be read on the radio.
Otago I can.
Okay.
Bikini, apparently.
Probably because it's so bloody cold.
It's a fantasy of theirs to ever have put on a bikini in Otago.
That goes up through central Otago.
Manawatu, Wanganganui, public.
Oh, okay.
Interesting.
Your home province, Taranaki.
I can't read.
I wouldn't even be able to say the word without blushing.
Oh, wow.
What about your?
Is it worse than your home province?
Well, I can say the word for mine, but it's unusual.
It's a race-based search.
Oh, okay.
And there's a few of those.
Okay, right.
I had to Google a couple of terms.
Oh, okay.
Because I wasn't familiar with it, but it's about different culture.
Right.
Cultures and races being searched.
Either way, the one that stands out in this entire list is...
Is Bay of Plenty.
Is Bay of Plenty.
Yeah.
How awfully weird.
Well, no, please don't kink shame.
I'm not.
I wouldn't dream of kink shaming.
But of all the things you're going to search, if you're going there...
But maybe it only got searched five times.
Yeah.
But nowhere else in New Zealand searched it at all.
And maybe it was one person searching it.
One person.
And it's popped it off because it's relative search terms to how often it was searched person searching it. One person. And it's popped it off because it's relative search terms
to how often it was searched in other areas.
God, it makes me think that maybe farmers should hide their pillows
or at least have them behind a Perspex lock case.
What's that mall called?
Bayfair.
Bayfair, yeah, lock up the pillows.
Yeah, and one of those Perspex cases where they usually put like
highly stolen items.
Stiggies, spray cans.
Spray cans, yeah.
I think so.
I think the pillows need protecting from these serial pillow humpers of the Bay of Plenty area.
Next on the show, silly little poll.
This is something I'm very passionate about.
Our silly little poll today, laundry powder or liquid?
You know, I turned my back on powder years ago.
He did.
Years ago.
Play it.
CDM'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 Silly little pole Silly little pole
Silly little pole
Washing.
This is clothes washing.
This is a listener suggested silly little pole.
Do you use liquid or powder?
Or Tide Pods should have been in here.
I've got to stop in at Costco.
What time can we get out of here today?
I've got to be there when the doors open.
I'm not lining up.
Oh, yeah, you've got to go to Tide Pods. If you're doing today? I've got to be there when the doors open. I'm not lining up. Oh, yeah.
You've got to go to Tide Pods.
If you're doing Costco, you've got to go during the week, which doesn't work if you work.
Not Fridays.
Not really.
Is that bad?
When I head home from here on a Friday, there's a line on the motorway to get off to get to
Costco.
That's nuts.
Like, any time of the day, eh?
Yeah.
It's just always packed.
Yeah.
West Auckland tip for people who aren't from West Auckland that are going to Costco.
If the line's back on the motorway, go to the next exit, which is a roundabout.
Turn left and go back that way.
And don't park in there.
No, no, no.
Just up the road.
Yeah.
It's West Auckland.
You can park on anything that's grass, basically.
Sure.
Don't block the footpath.
But they have been importing the American Tide Pods.
Tide Pods.
And you can get versions of those pods here.
Can you?
I think you can. But they're not as popular.
You can for your dishwasher.
Yeah, I know you can, but yeah, they are the odd laundry kind of pod.
Love a Tide Pod.
Love a Tide Pod.
Liquid is just best because you don't get any streaks or powder left in your clothes.
Well, 54% of people are still using washing powder.
Oh, really?
46% use washing liquid or a detergent for their clothes.
I know that you can get the big laundry powders quite cheap,
but surely it's cheaper liquid-wise, right?
If you don't use too much, if you use what you're meant to.
This is Brittany's point.
Britt wrote, powder's the only way who the F is using liquid.
It costs 10 times more.
I refuse to believe that you have the bougiest listeners out of all the stations.
We do, actually.
We do.
We've got a very bougie.
We've got a bougie listenership.
We've got a bougie listenership where people are doing well for themselves,
but they play it down.
They play it down.
They're secretly tide potting?
Yeah.
Is that it?
Yeah, she thought the Hosking listenership might be liquids.
No, because they're all powder.
They're all boomers.
They're all boomery powdery.
The thing with powders, it's a lot of filler.
Powders.
A lot of filler.
Yeah.
You want to use...
Yeah, I know.
If you only use...
My problem is I'll just free pour a liquid and I end up using too much.
Too much, yeah.
Far too much.
Don't need that much.
Why'd you change my liquid? Because do you remember Consumer did that thing and they said my liquid was
rubbish. And I was like...
Oh yeah, they did. Oh, okay.
They came at you for your liquid. Yeah.
Tony says neither. Laundry sheets
are the best. Ew, what?
What are laundry sheets? I've seen
these and they're just like, you know like
sheets, you pull them out and they're like a sheet.
Do they dissolve?
I think, and they dissolve.
And you just chuck them in there?
Yeah.
I've never in my life seen nor heard of them.
I've seen them in the supermarket, but I'm like, that's not me.
I don't want a sheet.
She says, laundry sheets are the best.
No big bottle to store, no clumpy powder anywhere, and they do a great job.
Okay.
They're quite good, says producer Jared.
Are you a laundry sheeter, Jared?
We used to be a sheet household now we're
a pod household but the sheets were they were pretty rad right okay so do they dissolve yeah
it's like supposed to be a eco vibe thing so it's just like a little almost like a sheet of paper
but a little bit thicker could you write a list on this piece of paper like and then use and then
when you're done with it put in the in the wash? No, I reckon the ink
would bleed through
onto your whites.
Yeah, you don't want that.
Oh, you don't want that.
Restore concentrated
laundry detergent sheets.
Okay.
Yeah, those are the ones
we used.
They were good.
Measured hypoallergenic
dissolvable sheet.
That's interesting.
I didn't even know
these were a thing.
Tony's a big fan.
Tony's a big fan.
Big fan, right.
Courtney says,
I just switched to liquid
because I was getting sick
of powder being left
on my clothes. See? It sounds like a game changer. Yeah, it big fan, right. Courtney says, I just switched to liquid because I was getting sick of powder being left on my clothes.
See?
It's a game changer.
Yeah, it does.
It does.
It gets left.
Aisha says, it depends on what I'm washing.
Clothes get liquid, towels get powder.
That's fair if it's a budgetary thing.
Yeah, if it's a, okay, fair call.
Towels, you know.
I'd love to know, has someone done the maths on what's cheaper?
Because surely liquid's cheaper, right?
If you buy a big bulk bottle.
I don't think so.
Because you'd be able to get bigger, bulkier powder for cheaper.
Yeah, probably.
Like I remember growing up, we used to have this sack of cold water surf.
Like a 20kg sack.
Wow.
And we'd slowly scoop it down.
And then when it got to a certain level, mum would run the scissors around the top of the sack.
So you didn't hit the bag dragging the scoop out.
But that thing was cheap.
That was a very cheap way of doing washing.
Yeah, right.
Tati said, cardboard boxes are better than plastic bottles.
Hashtag eco warrior.
Yeah, that's a good call.
Danielle says, honestly, whatever's cheaper.
Yeah.
They're versatile.
They're budget dependent.
Yeah.
You know, product dependent there.
So there you go.
You're just 54% of people still are on the washing powder buzz.
Okay.
So it's pretty close.
I'm going to try these sheets now.
Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey.
Play ZM.
From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Well, it's
been resurrected moments after
its death. It's pulled a full
Jesus.
Neighbours is coming back.
It was just
this year that the final one was,
the final episode was filmed. A whole lot of famous faces
went back for it. Kylie Minogue went back
and spoke a total of, what, three words
the entire time she was back.
People were like, that was weird.
After 37 years on air in July, it finished up.
Well, I guess they've got the money, don't they, the streamers?
Because streamers have done this for a few TV shows.
Manifest is one that got cancelled.
Manifest got cancelled and then Netflix picked it up
and made another season.
And now it's like one of the most popular shows in the world.
Yeah.
So this return for...
I saw some video recently of people going on to the Abandoned Neighbours set.
Yeah, same.
And I was like, why hasn't that been pulled down?
Well, now it makes sense.
It can be kind of cleaned up because it had been tagged and stuff a little bit.
It can be cleaned up and can be ready to go.
2023, they're expecting the first episodes to come out.
Wow.
And they say they're calling them seasons now.
Okay.
Not like every day, a daily.
Right.
So.
So what?
There'll be like, what, 20, like an episode, like a season of Grey's Anatomy would be 20
odd episodes, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
Maybe they're going to do that.
So the top six changes to Neighbours when it comes back on Amazon. Is that who has saved it?
Number six on the list.
There's no mailman.
There's only someone who does Amazon personal deliveries.
Oh, 100% there'll be some product placement.
Yeah, every box that the post has got will have that Amazon tape on it.
Yeah.
Number five on the list of the...
Can we just talk about that tape?
The Amazon tape.
It's like a masking tape.
Yeah.
No, it's like a brown paper tape.
With Amazon written on it.
It's amazing tape.
I love that tape.
It's good quality tape.
Yeah.
There's a name for that kind of tape.
Because it's like the box, but it's tape.
It's like paper, but it's tape.
Paper tape.
It's amazing tape.
Yeah, it's good tape.
I get a bit jazzed on it.
And it's strengthened as well.
Some of it's strengthened.
Yeah, it feels like it's paper on top,
but there's definitely some plastic involved. I think it's strengthened. Yeah, it feels like it's paper on top, but there's definitely some plastic involved.
I think it's supposed to give you the feel
that it's environmentally friendly,
but I don't know if it is.
But it's not, yeah.
Some sort of braided inside.
Yeah, God, it's great.
The extra strength.
Great tape.
What is that tape?
What is it called when a tape's got the paper?
I don't know if it's got a name.
It makes my tongue feel funny even thinking about it.
Do you remember a brown tape as a kid
and it wasn't sticky until you licked it
and it became adhesive?
No. And it was like, was it. Do you remember a brown tape as a kid and it wasn't sticky until you licked it and it became adhesive? No.
And it was like,
was it called port tape
or brandy tape?
Like for some reason
I feel like it was named
after an alcohol.
And you'd lick it.
It wasn't a,
ugh,
that feeling makes my tongue
feel funny.
You'd probably wipe it
over a sponge these days,
you know?
Okay, yeah.
To keep your saliva
to yourself.
Our number five
on the list
of the top six
changes to Neighbours
when it comes back
to Amazon,
there's a mysterious,
sexy, good-looking guy
who's generous
and loving and cool
and his name's Jeff
and we don't know
a lot about him
but he lives in the new mansion
on the end of Ramsey Street.
Let's see if Bezos
put himself in his favourite
TV show.
Maybe the Bezos is in.
Number four on the list
of the top six changes
to Neighbours
when it comes back to Amazon,
there's swearing now.
Oh, great.
Yeah, there would be.
You can have swearing.
As much swearing as you like.
Imagine if they did that to someone like Shortland Strader.
You heard them swear.
You'd just be like, what?
This is Mother F-ing Ramsey Street.
Violence of sorts.
Number three on the list of the top six changes to Neighbours when it comes back to Amazon.
Harold only watches and references other Amazon TV shows and there's no mention of
any past Neighbours actors that appear on any
Netflix or Disney Plus shows.
They're gone. They're gone.
They're out. Number two on
the list of the top six changes to Neighbours
when it comes back on Amazon. There's a lot of
pro-rocket chat at the cafe.
Oh yeah. Everybody's talking about
how cool rockets are the entire
time.
And man, if I had that amount of money,
I definitely wouldn't solve any of the world's problems.
I would just build a rocket.
Yeah, totally.
And number one on the list of the top six changes to Neighbours when it comes back on Amazon,
zero tax paid.
Yeah, true.
Zero, zero, zero.
No tax.
Yeah, that's today's top six. Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is that people from Nigeria and Niger are both called Nigerians.
Well, they're different places.
Yeah. Niger. Nigerians.
Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is, isn't it? It's different places.
Niger. I learned last night Niger is both named after the river.
Niger was a French colony and Nigeria was a British colony.
So you say Niger and Nigeria.
But both people from these countries are called Nigerians. However, the British way of like Canadians, A-N-S,
but the French way of saying where people are from, E-N-S.
So said very similarly but spout differently.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Yeah.
But they're both, if you said, oh, our friends, the Nigerians are here,
you could be referring to people from Nigeria or from Nigeria.
Huh.
This is 25 million people.
In Nigeria.
Yeah.
Yeah.
One of the biggest populations in that area of Africa.
Okay.
And landlocked.
Yes.
Completely landlocked.
River.
Yes.
Next to Mali. Do you still have that? Did he die? And landlocked. Yes. Completely landlocked. River. Yes. Was its trademark.
Next to Marley.
Do you still have that?
Did he die?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're the sponsor kid in Marley.
Yeah, I think I did him.
Saw him through.
What's he doing now?
Have they followed up with that?
I don't know.
Because I'm looking at the map.
Yeah, Niger.
And then Marley is next.
Marley is next to it.
And the capital of Marley is Timbuktu.
Timbuktu.
That's why I remember.
It was really hard to get to,
so that's why Timbuktu is often referred to.
So he graduated high school,
and then they cut you off.
I think so.
What is it?
Could you stop payments?
Little column A, little column B.
So you've cut payments,
and now this kid is out in the big world.
He got done.
He ticked.
How old would he be now?
He must be getting close to 20.
He must be getting close to 20.
He's probably made something of himself.
And you don't know.
Can you contact World Vision
and ask them to reach out?
I'm okay. He's out there. You're done reach out. I'm okay.
He's out there.
You're done, right?
I'm okay.
You think you want some money?
I've got to worry about my own bloody kids.
You've got two sponsor kids of yourself.
I'm sponsoring two New Zealand children that are genetically half my wife's,
but collectively ours.
Okay.
Yeah. They're expensive collectively ours. Okay. Yeah.
Very expensive.
Okay.
Well, you've cut them loose and just hope.
Well, this wasn't about Marley and the people from Marley.
This was about the people from Niger and Nigeria,
and they're both called Nigerians.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. You know, of popular video games This isn't any video game for me I can't get to the end
You get stressed
Or the checkpoint and I'm just like
I can't see any on the list
The jump scare video games
That are really popular at the moment
Like really dark setting
That's, you know
Right
Terrifying and there's someone chasing you and stuff
But on the list
And the winner of it was Mario Kart
Now if you've ever played Mario Kart
Wario Stadium
Someone's fired a blue shell,
you're just rounding that last hairpin turn
and pinning it down towards it.
You can't get hit by that.
Then someone's second, they're right on your tail,
they're going to get you.
It's a very stressful game and it's ruined many friendships.
It was one of the first, like, multiplayer games.
I remember on the Nintendo 64, that and GoldenEye, man,
ruined some friendships.
And I wouldn't play. Well, we played Crash Team Racing as a family and Goldeneye, man, ruined some friendships. And I wouldn't play.
Well, we played Crash Team Racing as a family, and that was good.
But it was another example of why my wife and I can't play games together
because if I won, she'd think I was showing off.
Yeah.
Even though I could win and not do anything.
But then that would wind her up because she said it was too modest in winning.
We don't game well together.
No.
Board games, also
off the, you know, craniums
definitely ban.
That's led to a few arguments, hasn't it?
I've witnessed some of those.
Yeah, you've witnessed a couple of
blow-ups on the cranium game.
And then at the weekend,
Producer Jared was gifted
by the midi a Nintendo
Switch.
No, I'll just stop you there.
I saved up myself.
I pinched and saved.
I got the Switch myself and the MIDI got me a game for it. Oh, she got you a game.
Oh, right.
Why couldn't you have just let her have that just then?
It wouldn't have mattered.
I don't know.
It just felt a bit, I don't know.
Like she got you too much?
Yeah.
Yeah, because the present I got her didn't match up to a whole Switch, you know?
Right, right.
This is the little handheld one, isn't it?
Yeah.
The one that was in that photo with that celebrity.
Yes.
Yeah, that one.
Okay.
Which celebrity competitors
schlong to a Nintendo Switch?
I can't remember.
I can't remember.
Was it Very Big Sean?
Jeez, was it Big Sean? Did he take the end controllers off? No. I haven't remember. I can't remember. Was it very big Sean? Jeez. Was it big Sean?
It was one of them.
Did he take the end controllers off?
No.
I haven't seen it.
Was he just comparing it to one of the little controllers on the end?
I don't think so.
Jeez Louise.
Screen and two controllers.
Yep.
Holy.
Ouch.
Yeah, you sent a video.
She beat you at the bowling game?
She dominated me at the bowling.
I came out strong with the strike.
This is why I didn't want to say that she bought the switch.
Oh, yeah.
There seems to be a real power dynamic struggle going on right now.
Right.
So I came in hot with an initial strike,
and then the middie got like four or five in a row,
and then you, oh, man, I've been hustled.
She got me switch sports, and it's very competitive in our flat at the minute. like four or five in a row. And then you, oh man, I've been hustled.
She got me Switch Sports,
and it's very competitive in our flat at the minute.
Yeah, see, and this, I would, as a man with some experience,
caution you away from getting too competitive because... Arguments.
Arguments.
It's going to lead to arguments.
It's necessary arguments.
There's a sword fighting mode,
and we're saving that till last because that's going to...
Is that where you're in a lane yet?
It's a different one.
You cross beans.
Slightly different one, yeah.
Oh, is that slightly different?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
Wow.
I know video games are so advanced these days.
Yeah, right, but it's not going to end well, young Jared.
It's not going to end well.
Yeah, no.
We're incredibly competitive.
Yeah.
Switch Sports, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, all those kind of games. Oh, you, we're incredibly competitive. Yeah, Switch Sports,
Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart,
all those funny games. Oh, you've got all the games? No, no,
you've got to get single player games.
The minute there's a multiplayer aspect to it, especially when it can be played at your
house, play it online, that's fine. You can mute your
microphone and not listen to the 12 year old saying
a series of ungodly things about your mother or
your wife or whatever.
But in the house, it gets too competitive.
We don't Monopoly anymore.
Yeah.
Oh, Shadow and I don't Monopoly.
We basically don't play any competitive games.
What do you do?
You just watch TV.
We headbands.
You know the game where you've got a thing on your head,
but then you'll remember the great penguin debacle
where I said, do I have feathers?
And they said no.
And then when I found out, I said, I'm a G-damn penguin.
Yeah, they've got feathers. They're like, no, it's a thick fur. I'm like when I found out I said I'm a G-damn penguin yeah they've got feathers they're like
no it's a thick fur
I'm like
it's a bird
it's a bird
so we've got to be
very careful
you're allowed to google
when we play headbands
to give the correct answer
oh okay yeah
that makes sense
so if you're not sure
rather than staring me wrong
and saying I've got fur
not feathers
and I'm a penguin
yeah
well you can google it
to confirm what a penguin
would be covered
yeah that's fair
you shouldn't need to google what a penguin's covered no of. Yeah, that's fair. You shouldn't need to Google what a penguin
is covered in. Of course it's feathers. It's a bird.
It's a thick, thick...
It's a thermal layer of very thick,
fine feathers. Yeah.
We want to know what game
you and your partner can't play.
This morning. Like, when...
Maybe it started out lovely. Maybe it started out with a,
you know... Oh, yeah. A lovely birthday
present. A fun little present. And we're
doing some bowling. Ha ha ha. Hee hee hee.
And then it went off
the rails. Maybe it's too competitive.
Maybe you're just leagues ahead
of them. Yeah. And so
they get frustrated at why you
don't seem to be putting in any effort but
significantly better than them and it causes
frustrations. Board game. Any game.
It could be a gaming game
or it could be a board game.
Yeah.
Or any kind of challenge.
You don't play it anymore.
What can't you and your partner
do anymore or play?
Because it's too competitive.
Sports as well.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Because I know recently
someone I know
has been getting into
a bit of rock climbing
and they're female.
Yeah.
And they've been going with it
but their partner got it into them.
Oh, and they're better than their partner.
Yeah, they've immediately become like,
they've found their thing.
They're like, in my 30s, who knew?
Well, you can't go out with your partner
to play tennis anymore
because it's too competitive.
Someone smashes a racket.
Yeah.
You've got a John McEnroe in the family.
All right, 0800 DALS at Emma's number.
Give us a call now.
You can text as well, 9696.
What games can't you play in your house?
Hayley away today with a throat infection.
A throat infection.
Yeah.
She's still gargling.
She doesn't mouthwash enough.
It's a problem.
Dirty.
I think she's listening to the show now,
so we've exposed her dirty lack of mouthwashing.
Her dirty little throat.
We're talking about what games you can't play at your house.
It started out because Mario Kart's apparently a very stressful game,
and I know that.
Any of those sort of racing games where you're all playing on the same screen,
you crash team racing, you're Mario Kart's,
excessively competitive.
Yeah.
And tempers get flared.
So we want to know what's not playable in your house.
Nicole joins us.
Good morning, Nicole.
Good morning.
Now, what can't be played in your house?
Bananagrams.
I've never played Bananagrams, but I've seen it a lot.
It's like a little sack full of lettered tiles,
and you tip them out,
and then you have to spell all the words you possibly can.
You do, and you kind of have to link them all up,
and they all have to intertwine together.
Yeah, it's confusing, but my wife and I love it,
but I always end up the one getting poopy and throwing it around the room.
You throw it around the room.
Now, I would like to say that's very brave of you to ring and admit
that you're the one that gets poopy and throws it around the room.
I'll always admit it. I'll always admit it. It's all good.
Why do you feel if you can admit it,
why can't you control it in the moment?
And I ask.
I'm not attacking.
I'm asking.
I just cannot because she'll always beat me.
And I just, I am a sore loser.
I admit it.
Yeah.
But yeah, I mean, I love playing with her and it's good fun.
Right.
Is there anything you're good at that you always beat her at?
Look, I don't know.
We're so competitive.
It's just, it's crazy.
So everything we'll just always give each other absolute grief for and, you know, try our hearts.
But yeah.
Nice.
All right, Nicole, thanks for your call.
Kim, what game can't be played in your house?
Monopoly. I'm sure it can't be played in many households.
Many, many, many houses.
That ruthlessness where they're out of money
and they have to mortgage their property
and you just look at them and you just put your hand out for the money.
You're out of the game when you're mortgaging properties.
You're not coming back from that.
If you come back from a more, it's a slippery slope, a single mortgage.
Yeah. You've still got to have, you know, it's a slippery slope, a single mortgage. Yeah.
You've still got to have,
you know,
properties on the board
that they can land on to get,
oh,
you know,
it's a slippery slope.
If you're playing with mulch.
That doesn't stop the husband
from trying,
though,
does it?
Oh,
really?
Yeah,
okay.
Do you just play two-player Monopoly?
No,
when we last played
with our eight-year-old daughter.
It didn't end well either.
Okay.
Yeah, little tip. Kids can. Okay. Yeah, little tip.
Kids can be savage.
Yeah, little tip next time.
Kim, be the banker.
Steal the money.
Free money.
Yeah, see, I tried that and it doesn't work either.
Oh, right.
So you've got to steal it a couple of days before.
Oh, you're saying if you've got Monopoly for Friday,
on Wednesday start pocketing hundies.
Or some five hundies.
And then, you know, I've got to go to the toilet,
come back, slip it in.
Easy.
I can't fault that logic.
Yeah, no, it's good.
Five hundies are easy to spot that have been slipped in.
You want to do it with the 50s and the hundies.
Okay, yeah, well, whatever. I think my husband would know exactly how many hundreds and 500s are in the bank.
Yeah, he might count the float before you play.
He definitely would.
Interesting.
All right, well, good luck with that, Kim.
Some messages in.
We can't play
Overcooked 2
Now
I'd forgotten about
Overcooked 2
What's Overcooked 2?
I think you would love
Overcooked
Okay
You play as a team
You can play
Why is Jared nodding
Why would I love this guy
I think we should play
Overcooked with Winch
Just because he'd
Lose his mind
The idea is that
You're in a little
Restaurant right
Yeah
And it starts simple.
You've got to place orders.
So it might be like hamburger and it pops up as his hamburger
and all they want on it is the buns, the meat and the cheese.
Yeah.
So I'm in charge of buns.
I'll get the bun.
I'll put them on a plate, put it in front of your character
and then you cook the meat and plop it on there and then cheese
and then pick it up and take it to another place.
What if you don't do it in time?
You lose the point.
Ding.
They get sick of the customer and they leave.
But the problem is when it starts getting complicated and there's like four of you but six tasks.
Yeah.
And you're running around screaming and someone's got to go and get an onion and then you've got to chop the onion.
You've got to cook the onion.
You're like, I want onions.
It's not like working in a kitchen, which is a highly stressful environment, but it is.
Okay. It's like the comical version of it. Yeah a highly stressful environment, but it is. Okay.
It's like the comical version of it.
Yeah, we should play that one time.
That would be fun.
Somebody said,
my wife and I took a one-hour break from each other
after failing the final level five times.
So that's on Overcooked.
Somebody else said, we can't play Overcooked 2.
As my inner Gordon Ramsey comes out,
there's F-bombs and yelling and swearing,
and I get very disappointed in my children,
and I realise how bad that is.
Or because they haven't made
the fake onions in time.
Or they left something
and it boiled over
and then you've got to
start the soup again.
Yeah, right.
Okay, yeah,
I think I would love that game.
In fact, they should have put that
for the most stressful game.
They should have put
Overcooked in there.
Yeah.
Because I think it's more stressful
than Mario Kart.
Play ZM's Fletch V than Mario Kart. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
ZM FM.
Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley's Community Notices.
Hello and welcome to Community Notices,
a segment of the show where we have a look at what's happening around New Zealand
according to local Facebook pages.
You send these in to us.
It is the segment by you, for you.
What's the other one?
Amen.
For the people.
Amen.
By the people, yeah.
By the people.
All the people.
Let me tell you, my children have had very little exposure
to any religion growing up.
And we were watching something and they said, amen.
And they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Our man?
They were offended that it was our men and it should be our person or our woman or more inclusive.
Yeah.
Fair call.
That was a proud parenting moment.
By you, for you, by the people, for the people.
There's definitely a third part to that.
Yeah, I don't know.
That I'll work on for later.
Okay.
So let's pop down to the Otatara Notice Board
where Greg's got a question for the group.
Anyone know what roast peacock tastes like?
And a picture of two peacocks on an adjacent house.
Okay.
If you've ever dealt with peacocks.
They're annoying, aren't they?
They're the worst. People who love you've ever dealt with peacocks. They're annoying, aren't they? They're the worst.
People who love peacocks don't have peacocks.
Did you have some neighbouring peacocks?
There was a rogue peacock.
A rogue peacock.
And it shat on my windscreen.
Wait, how did it get on your windscreen?
It just jumped up on the car.
Oh.
The car was outside.
Right.
And it jumped up on the car.
I'm guessing to get away from our dogs or just jump up there for a vantage point. I'm not sure. And it turded on the windscreen.'m guessing to get away from our dogs or just- Yeah, right. It jumped up there for a vantage point.
I'm not sure.
And it turded on the windscreen.
What's a peacock turd?
Huge.
Really?
Huge.
It eats a lot of grass.
It's a huge fucking turkey-sized poo.
Because for a moment-
Is that allowed?
For a moment there, were you like, if I had to squirt that with the wiper and then-
It just smeared it.
It was one of those ones-
Oh, yuck.
Okay.
I knew it wasn't going to work. You need the hose. You need the hose. You need to wash it off and everything. But it It was one of those ones. Oh, yuck. Okay. I knew it wasn't going to work immediately.
You need the hose.
You need the hose.
You need to wash it off.
But it was like one of those ones, you know when there's a bug and you're like,
I'll be able to windscreen wipe it that off and it just goes.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're surprisingly fatty, aren't they?
Yeah.
Greasy, fatty bugs.
Greasy, fatty bugs.
And probably why they're going to be the protein of the future, to be honest.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Probably why we're all going to be eating them as snacks in a few years.
And the peacock poo just would not come off.
Oh, okay.
It would not come off.
And they're loud.
How would they be roasted, though?
That's a peacock noise.
If you ever hear that in the wild.
Horrible.
Horrible birds.
Horrible birds.
And I don't believe they would taste good either.
Yeah, okay.
I don't think,
I mean edible,
anything's edible
if you've got enough sauce.
Anything.
Yeah,
fair call.
And people like poo kicker,
those things are nasty.
Yeah.
But they can be eaten.
But Greg would like to know
if anybody's got any recipes.
So if you're in the area,
Yeah.
Greg's pretty keen
to pick up a recipe or two.
This is from the
Wanganui Buy Sell
Anything Except Drugs page.
I'm not lying.
I'm not lying.
I love that they've had to stipulate that on their community page.
Yeah, wow.
Okay.
It's no drugs.
And no capitals either,
which probably isn't as popular as the buy, sell, swap, anything,
including drugs page in Whanganui.
Kate found some dentures.
Beautiful looking dentures, actually.
It's the kind of teeth I'd like.
Found these washed up on the beach,
have handed them to the lifeguards at Castlecliff.
So, I don't know, how did that happen?
Do you think she stood on them?
What's that?
Oh, she felt them, yeah,
but I'm wondering how Grandad lost them in the first place.
Pretty a rogue wave.
Rogue wave.
Yeah.
Had his mouth open.
Got them washed out.
Got them washed out.
Colette, I would like everybody at the Perongia group community page
to know that there's a lost pet.
Okay.
And pets and speech marks.
In the middle of the road at the turnoff from Southend McClure Street
onto the village part of McClure Street, someone must own it.
He seems happy enough.
Been rolling around for a few days.
He's charcoal phallic and very hardy.
So somebody's lost an adult fun toy in the traffic there.
And someone might be missing that.
But, yeah, they don't need a rinse.
Quite easy just to leave that on the roof of your car
and jump in and carry on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People do it with cell phones all the time.
Yeah, they do,
but then I would have thought you'd have this in your bag,
not just carrying it in your hand.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm not exactly sure on that one.
This one from the Golden Bay Community page.
Jim says,
this parcel was just delivered to the Golden Bay Visitor Centre, no name or clue
who ordered it. Did you order
a goat drinking bowl?
We're open from 2pm Friday, otherwise
Monday 10-2 and all next week
and order a seat when picking up would be appreciated
Somebody literally got, this is
the address that they wrote, sent to
Takaka, Willow Street, Takaka
Tasman. Now that's all it says
and it's a drinking bowl for a goat.
Yeah, that's...
Does somebody not have...
Is somebody off the grid?
Yeah, they must be.
They don't have a postal address so they just get all the information sent to Takaka
and they'll just pop by and pick it up.
Yeah, weird.
But I guess you could.
Because I thought the post shops would normally do like a collection.
You can put the post shop and collect it from there.
I don't know.
Weird.
Yeah.
And finally, from the Topo original notice board, Steve writes,
somebody tagged this man and let him know he can't drop the kids off here.
And that is CCTV footage of a man taking a poo on a bar, inside a bar.
Oh, in a bar.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Well, look, there's a picnic table.
It might be outside, but it's within the carry of a bar. Oh, in a bar. Yeah. Oh, my God. Well, look, there's a picnic table. It might be outside, but it's within the carry of a bar.
Like, for example, if that was my friend, if that was you,
I'd know that was you.
You'd know that's me.
That's a good quality CCTV shot, that.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's in a bar, but there's a toilet.
Well, maybe it's after hours.
Is it after hours?
Yeah.
It might be after hours.
Don't do that there.
No, don't.
I'd like to know if anybody's on that page,
if that person, that perpetrator was found.
Oh, he 100% was.
Cool.
Remember, you can always send us your community notices.
Screencap them and send them to FVHZM on any of the socials.
Just talking to Fletch about some wine tasting I did at the weekend.
Had a chardonnay, lovely buttery chardonnay.
You had a buttery chardonnay, did you?
I love a chardonnay.
The romance.
The romance.
It was the weekend before, actually, but we were busy.
It was Chardonnay's 12th wedding anniversary.
I can't believe that's been 12 years since that wedding.
Crazy, eh?
And we went up north.
We love up north.
We'd never really been up there until we got engaged up there.
Right.
So is that why you went back?
On Urupukapuka Island.
Oh, yes.
Beautiful.
In the Bay of Islands.
So we went back up.
We went to Russell.
We actually coincidentally had dinner on Friday night somewhere you could see the island.
Isn't that a happy circumstance?
That's lovely.
And is that the one you have to take the ferry
over, don't you? To Russell?
Yes. Yeah.
Otherwise you have to drive the long way.
I've never driven that long way, but I think
it might be quite a nice drive.
Otherwise you just get the little ferry and it
just toodles over.
We just turned the corner and this woman
waved us straight on. We just drove straight on
and then it literally, with the last car on, it took off.
We got to the side.
I was like, goodness me, wasn't that wonderful?
Wasn't that quick?
Yeah.
We're very pleased with that.
Romantic weekend, though.
We went into an off-the-grid little cabin.
Yeah, okay.
That was really lovely.
Secluded on a vineyard.
Had a big, I won't get into the details,
but there was a big, beautiful stainless steel tub.
Oh, okay.
Filled that up with hot water.
Yeah, nice.
We heard kiwi at night.
That's pretty cool.
We're surrounded by tui and fantau during the day.
Were there other cabins around you?
No, no cabins.
Single cabin.
Oh, that's good.
Singular cabin.
Because I don't like when you go away and you're in the middle of nowhere
and there's like a cabin or a whatever, a yurt or a tent,
but then there's other people right near you.
That's weird.
No, no, no.
There was nobody else near.
I spent a large part of the weekend completely naked.
I don't know if this winery...
No, no, they couldn't see us.
It was in the bush.
You had to walk like 100 metres through the bush to get to the cabin.
But are you away from the grapes?
Because I don't want naked people near my wine It was in the bush. You had to walk like 100 metres through the bush to get to the cabin. But are you away from the grapes? Because I don't want
naked people near my wine.
Miles from the grapes. When I was near the
grapes, I was fully clothed. Okay, good.
Yeah, it was off the grid.
But were you worried that people could come
to your eco-cabin? I wasn't.
Because it was also the end of the road.
It was like that was very close to a cliff.
Right, okay. Beautiful view. And you could look out
onto the bay.
Okay.
But honestly, them looking in, it would have been the tiniest little hole.
They would have really had to have been on boat with binoculars,
knowing the spot was there to see me naked.
And then jokes would have been on them because it's not that great a view.
So they would have seen it.
And yeah, it was beautiful.
We went out for some lovely meals.
We did that thing where you go out for lunch and you have a couple of wines
and then you have a real nappy afternoon.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I can't do that at home because I've inherited my father's problem
of looking out the window and seeing a job that needs doing.
Oh, yes.
And you can't relax.
Active relaxing.
So I actually relaxed.
Shada got a photo of me like I fell asleep in the sun on a chair.
Horrible photo, but it really summed up how relaxed I was.
Yeah, great.
Beautiful, romance, lovely, calm.
We were very lucky with the weather
because it was supposed to be thunderstorms all weekend
and we managed to dodge that entirely.
10 out of 10 weekend.
Yeah.
Apart from the composting toilet.
A what?
A composting toilet.
Is that like a dock long drop?
No, it was a very short drop. A very short drop. Okay. It was in a composting toilet. Is that like a dock long drop? No, it was a very short drop.
A very short drop.
Okay.
It was in a compostable bag.
Ew.
It was a toilet, but it had a compostable bag in it.
And after you did wheeze or poos,
you had to scoop in some more sawdust to cover your business like a cat.
So this beautiful romantic spot has a litter box.
Effectively, yes.
A cat litter box.
Effectively, yes.
And then what would you do?
The other option wouldn't, the other option, there was no septic system.
It wouldn't have worked.
Right, okay.
So this was the option.
And I know people have these like full time because they are environmentally, you know.
Right.
I mean, if you're off the grid, you're not connected to the sewage, are you?
No, you're not.
So what happens to this once you've sawdusted?
I don't know.
Oh, you didn't have to take it and put it anywhere.
No.
Oh, but then what are other people's under the sawdust?
No, no, no.
It was a fresh bag when we arrived.
Okay, right.
So it's just yours.
It was a fresh bag when we arrived.
It's just our business in there.
But there was the option of walking the 100 metres back through the bush
and then walking up the trail to the restaurant at the vineyard
and using their bathrooms.
Oh, okay.
So this was me every morning after waking up,
plunger coffee, strong plunger coffee,
a little breakfast straight through me.
This was me when I was walking through the native bush part.
Oh, heck.
Oh, heck.
And then out into the vineyard, I was like, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I'm not going to make it.
I'm not going to make it.
Today's the day as a grown man I poop myself.
Just to get to the restaurant.
And you know that one where you're trying to fight it off
and you start getting the shooting pains?
Yeah.
I mean, I haven't been in labour, but I'd put it up there.
Oh, yeah.
Breathe through that one and there's like a contraction.
Ten more litres, you're like...
Shallower breaths because you're scared.
And then you get there and, yeah, the business, it's all happening.
But we couldn't bring ourselves to go in the composting toilet
because if we'd been tied it off
and put it somewhere,
that would have been fine,
but it wasn't,
it was part of the housekeeping
at the end of it.
I couldn't leave that for them.
Oh, no.
I don't want people seeing that.
I couldn't leave that.
And I don't believe
there was any amount
of sawdust that could have...
We were eating very well.
We had oysters.
It was a very rich,
you know,
decadent sort of a weekend.
There was no amount
of sawdust
that could have covered that.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and
Hayley. Well, news stories
love a TikTok and
we love a news story.
So there's your chain.
What if Elon Musk crashes
and burns Twitter into the ground?
What are journalists going to do? Just TikTok?
I guess just TikTok.
By the way, Elon Musk ran a poll at the
weekend to see if Donald Trump should be allowed back on Twitter.
And it was yes by a small amount.
It was 50-50, wasn't it?
Yeah.
And so he said, welcome back, Donald Trump.
And Donald Trump said, no, I don't want to come back.
I can see some problems with this platform.
Yeah.
I mean, that's good stuff.
Well, they reckon that with the World Cup and all the engineers and people leaving Twitter,
that it could crash it.
Yeah, which wouldn't be a bad thing.
Well, then I keep seeing at the weekend people tweeting stuff
like Twitter's out in Europe, but then I don't
know if it was just trolling
or whatever, but it could happen this week,
so that could be fun to watch.
This couple on TikTok have said their three
rules, their three
relationship rules.
And this is why they've gone viral.
Yeah.
First one is they constantly share their location on an app called Life360.
It's a family tracking app.
You can see users' location or track them or monitor their location or movements at any time.
Have you turned me off Find Friends?
I don't know.
Why? I know you're there.
I think you were just missing for a bit
at the weekend. Oh, yeah, I was off.
You were up north. I did see you up north.
I was like, great, that looks like a lovely spot.
Yeah, it was a lovely spot. No, it's my friend
Mike that was off for a couple of days.
Nobody's back on now, but I was going to
question his whereabouts. His whereabouts. Well, you need to know
where people are. Okay, and Hayley's at home as
well, which is good. That's good. Imagine if you
logged on. She's having a sick day
and she wasn't at home.
I know.
And she was at Rainbow's End.
Oh my God,
if she took the day
after she got to Rainbow's End,
I'd be livid.
I want the day after.
And didn't invite us.
So rude.
Well, no, she's at home,
I can see.
And it says that she's going
like 44 Ks an hour.
You're like,
she's on the roller coaster.
She's on the roller coaster.
That's sort of a gun.
And you just see her on Fine Freeds
just looping around.
Just looping around.
Yeah, unbelievable. Oh, and now she's on Gold roller coaster. She's on the roller coaster. That's sort of a gun. And you just see her on Fine Freeds just looping around. Just looping around.
Unbelievable.
Oh, and now she's on Gold Rush.
Yeah.
In the log flim.
That would be a slow one, though. She'd be moving slowly.
Their second rule is that they share all passwords.
What?
For everything.
And keep no secrets, like no secret accounts or anything,
but they're all passwords.
So phone, PIN, email, passwords, anything is open.
Yes. Okay. And thirdly, PIN, email, passwords, anything is open. Yes.
Okay.
And thirdly, and probably the most controversial of,
hanging with the opposite gender alone is strictly off limits.
No exceptions to the rule.
Now, is this because there's been a case of cheating in the past?
They don't say so, but it definitely feels like it.
Because, you know, like I can imagine that rule coming in
if someone's cheated.
Yeah.
And they're trying to, you know, mend the relationship and move forward.
Yes.
That seems to me like a rule you'd impose.
But if there's been no problem, you know, why are there trust issues there?
Yeah.
That's an odd rule.
Does that mean you can't talk to the same sex at work?
Or you can't be alone with it?
They said no exceptions.
Surely there would be times when you might have to work with someone of the opposite sex at work. Well, you can't be alone with it. They said no exceptions. Surely there would be times when you
might have to work with someone of the
opposite sex at work.
Yeah, one-on-one.
In a room with a closed door.
Yeah, that's not going to work, is it?
No. And then he gets all sweaty
because he's breaking his rule.
And she's on Fine Friends watching him
watching every single move.
But we're wondering if you've got
rules in your relationship.
And maybe they need explaining and then you can explain them to us.
Or do you think we're more likely to hear from people that had rules in an old relationship?
In a previous relationship.
And that's why it's over because it just was never going to work.
Yeah.
But what, just any kind of rules?
Just odd, unusual rules?
Our rule is last one out of the bed makes the bed.
And that works great for me because I'm never the last one out of bed.
It would be a very rare occasion that I'm the last one out of the bed.
Even at the weekends?
Yeah.
I know I'm always out of bed early on the weekends.
I'd just get up at 3 o'clock and go on the couch.
Just so I didn't have to make it.
I think that's called cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
Well, yeah, maybe there'd definitely be couples out there that would demand the other person's password or phone lock, surely.
But then that's, I just think, yeah, there's no trust.
Got the same password for most of our stuff, including our joint stuff.
Yeah.
So, yeah, that's easy peasy.
That goes without saying. All right, well, 0800Diles.am, we want you stuff. Yeah. So. Yeah, that's easy peasy. That goes without saying.
All right.
Well, 0800 dials at M.
We want you to give us a call.
You can text through now, 9696, whether it's your relationship now or a past relationship.
It could be a kid rule.
Yeah.
It doesn't have to be like this crazy know where they are all the time rule.
Yeah.
Always have to do a little kiss goodnight or a book.
Yes.
Yeah.
That's my self-written rule is I give Shari a kiss
on the forehead before I go to work. Even if
we've had a tiff the night before.
But there's a difference because this morning we just had a lovely
weekend. It was like a... But sometimes it's like
and you
bump them so they wake up.
Oh, sorry.
Alright.
I'll wait
Andrew dials at M
9696
Give us a call
Or a text now
What's your
Relationship rule?
Play
ZM
Fletch for the nightly
Play
ZM
So a couple's gone viral
Because of their
Relationship rules
One of them includes
You're not allowed
To hang out alone
with the opposite sex, which I think is probably the one
that's made this go viral.
So we're talking about your relationship rules,
maybe the quirky ones, the odd ones, the cute ones.
My girlfriend's rule is, and brother,
I assume brother, it might be sister,
we're all feeling your pain.
My girlfriend's rule is I have to show her
any photos of us together
before I post them online
to get her absolute approval
on the photo
oh yeah
because sometimes
I only zone in on me
everybody does that
by default
and then you don't realise
that it's a really horrible
photo of your friend
but it doesn't matter
because you look great
the best one is
when it's somebody's birthday
and you put up a photo where you look great,
but the birthday boy or girl looks trash.
Yes, or their eyes are shut and you didn't even notice.
Yeah, and you're like, my Raider day.
My day one Raider day.
But they look like they're half asleep or their eyes have fallen out.
Yeah.
Claudia, what's your role in the relationship?
So my husband and I have an understanding.
He is not allowed to shave his face less than like a number three on a clipper.
And I am not allowed to cut my hair past my shoulders.
So it has to stay long.
He likes long hair on you and you like a beard on him.
Yeah, 100%.
And it cannot be broken.
Wow.
So you wouldn't want his clean shaven face at all?
No, I think I saw him once before we were even together,
clean shaven.
I was like, oh, sorry, you should really grow that back.
And ever since, it's been there and I never want it to leave ever.
Right.
He looks like a big baby man.
Yeah.
I love facial hair and he's got really strong beard game.
He looks really good with it.
It's like when Vaughn shaves his beard,
you just look really weird.
It just looks weird.
Sick kid.
I do look like an anemic little sick kid.
Claudia, thank you.
Teresa, what's the rule in your relationship?
So the rule in our relationship is each year when we have our birthdays,
you get the same number of hours celebration as you're turning.
So when I turn 53 this year, I get 53 hours of me time.
Oh, my God.
That's so long.
Are these waking hours of celebration,
or would an eight-hour nap contribute to the eight hours?
Yeah, no, it's concurrent.
So, like, you know, you go from, say, midnight Friday
to midnight Sunday if you're 48 hours, if you're 48 years.
God, how are you going to do this if you're 83?
Well, he may be dead by then,
but I'll still celebrate 83 hours of sleep.
Jeez.
No, well, I mean, it's just a fact.
Women live longer than men.
But it also sounded like you had a little hope in your voice.
He might be dead by then.
And something to look forward to as you get older.
You get these three-houry tears.
Yeah.
And so what do you normally do for these 53 hours or however many?
Well, most of it is, you know, for me, it's like princess time.
It's like, you know, it's all about me.
So whatever I want to do is fine. I mean, I'm not,
you know, we're not partying solidly for
53 hours. It's just whatever I want,
I get for 53 hours. Right, but if
there were chores to do, he does
them. I'm not doing them. Oh, yeah, good.
I like it. It's a good idea. It's your hours.
Teresa, thank you. Clara, what's the rule
in your relationship?
Our rule in the relationship was that when we ran into the ocean,
no one was allowed to spray each other
until the other person put their head under the water.
No, this is good.
I like this.
It's like when you're getting into the pool and someone's splashing you.
You're like, don't splash me until I'm being submerged.
That is a great rule.
We just always thought stuff like, stuff to flirt.
Like, no one liked being sprayed.
And then once I sprayed him and he got, like, genuinely so angry.
So you made the rule.
Right.
And now, yeah, no one is allowed to splash the other person.
That's a solid rule.
Yeah.
It's like when someone runs up and dunks you under and you're not under yet.
No.
Okay.
So it was like an unsaid rule
and then it just became a rule
and from then on it's a rule.
My nipples aren't wet.
Please don't wet them.
Yeah.
It's inappropriate for you
to wet my nipples.
I'll wet my own nipples.
Clara, thanks.
You call some messages in.
Don't eat my left
and my effing leftovers
is my rule.
So there you go.
They're your leftovers.
They're your leftovers. They're your leftovers.
How do they feel about, I don't need any chips?
I'd imagine that's just...
And then they eat yours.
Throwing away.
Don't you dare.
Relationship rule is no phones at the table.
Went out for dinner.
That's nice.
What do they do instead?
I think they talk.
Maybe about their food, about things.
What do you say what you did during your day.
Yeah.
That's unbelievable.
Our relationship rule is that we can only make love to Darude Sandstorm.
Is it the beats per minute?
It's too fast.
Too fast, yeah.
You want it slower.
Yeah.
That's going to encourage.
Try some Buble.
Yeah, a little bit of Buble, slow it down.
The one rule, sorry, my husband's passwords.
Yeah.
I've got them.
He gave them to me, but I didn't ask for them. It's just that he always forgets them.
So I have to write them down.
Right.
And someone said.
Well, he's not cheating on you then.
You couldn't pay me to have my husband's passwords.
Once I was trying to find a message in his phone from somebody that had details we needed,
800 messages about golf and cars was a big no from me.
It was an absolute mood killer.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, you'd be like, maybe he's cheating on me.
Maybe he's still got game.
Maybe, you know, the ladies still find him attractive.
No.
Golf, golf, golf, golf, golf, golf, golf, golf, golf.
Jesus, why am I in a relationship with this guy?
All right.
It makes me sad that the fire authorities have to come out and say,
stop cooking steak in your laid-over toaster like you saw on TikTok
because it could burn your house down.
People are actually doing this.
Well, it makes me sad for two reasons.
It can cause a fire, but also that's no way to cook a steak.
You have some respect for a steak.
How big's your toaster that you're getting a steak in there?
It looks like a small steak.
Right, okay.
It looks like a, yeah.
Wouldn't it take, oh, someone's trying to put a hole by the looks of that.
That's a big sirloin boy trying to get that in there.
That's not going to work.
How long would it take a toaster to cook steak?
It would take a long time, right?
I don't know.
I haven't seen this on TikTok.
I'm imagining all the fat stripping off and then that's igniting,
which would be causing the fire.
You know when you're cooking steak on a barbecue and it goes,
and just a little bit of oil or fat hits it and it goes up.
That.
Which is fine in the barbecue because that's all cast iron, isn't it?
It's all contained.
Whereas in your kitchen, then the curtains catch fire.
Correct.
And then you've got a house fire before you know it.
It's, yeah, the London fire brigades around the world are reiterating this
and ours have said, yeah, that goes the same for us.
Don't do that. Just another way TikTok is ruining the world are reiterating this and ours have said, yeah, that goes the same for us. Don't do that.
Just another way TikTok is ruining the world. Yeah, but right now at
nzfirecal.co.nz you can
purchase your 2023 New Zealand
firefighters calendar. Now,
Carl Wayne was saying, is it grand? She gets
one every year.
She does. Does she set off
her sprinklers so they come round?
You know, I don't think she does that.
Right.
But she loves to put it pride of place,
like right by the door when you walk in.
Really?
Yeah.
And she's like, oh, let's look at what month you are.
That's what everybody does on the calendar.
And you have to marry the person that's representing your month.
Oh, right.
I thought she was just finding you the hottest one to be your husband.
Oh, that too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, cancer.
I mean, cancer.
July.
June, July.
July always gets the worst whatever the picture is.
Really?
Because I'm cancer.
I'm June.
Is it normally a dud?
No, July for me.
Because looking to your page in the calendar is the old
person's version of, you know, the things you see
on Facebook that is like the Disney
character of your month represents who you
are. You always hope not for a dud.
And you're saying you always get the duds.
I'm telling you, July is always a dud.
July's always get the dud. But I'm
sure it's still a hot firefighter, let's be real.
Yeah, I was going to say, I don't know this year if that's
the way you want to speak about the firefighters. It's for charity as well, Carwen. It's for charity. I'll still a hot firefighter. Let's be real. Yeah, I was going to say, I don't know this year if that's the way you want to speak about the firefighters.
It's for charity as well, Carwen. It's for charity.
I'll still buy it. Okay.
But it definitely seems like
this one's the raising money for
Child Cancer
Foundation. Yeah, it says $2 from
every calendar. It's definitely
moving away from the
firefighter calendar of yesteryear because I've got
all the different ones from, there's a one in there, and that's very sexy.
It looked like it could have been on a mechanics workshop in the 80s.
Yeah.
Remember those?
Did you ever see those?
You say 80s.
Wildly probably.
Are they still a thing?
Yeah.
With movies.
They're not front-facing.
You don't see it when you're going for your war on a fitness,
but I bet they're still there.
They'll be in the smoker room or in the lab.
In the lab. In the lav.
In the lav.
Always in the lav.
Oh yeah.
Which when you think about it
I saw one sort of
a year ago
and I was just like
oh my god
they still make these.
Yeah because you'd think
maybe they wouldn't.
Do they sell those
at the calendar kiosk
at the mall?
I don't think so.
I think they're a special order
from like part suppliers, right?
Yeah.
Like you buy some
break things
and the break thing company
gives you the
almost nude calendar.
Yeah, it's pretty wild
that's the way I like it.
Play ZM's
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
From today,
due to
gender pay gap,
from now until the end of the year
on average,
women are working for free.
If they were to be paid
the same as their male counterparts,
you know,
from here on out
would be for free
to make up for the shortfall.
So you think that's the real reason
Hayley's not here today?
I think that's why she's just like,
I might just take the day.
Okay.
It's not the throat infection.
Nah. She's not coming back until what, next year? It's a like, I might just take the day. Okay. It's not the throat infection. Nah.
She's not coming back until what, next year?
It's a protest, I guess.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
What do you want us blokes to say about that?
It's terrible, isn't it?
Give me a bit of this.
And I'll distribute it.
Right.
Yeah, I can.
Carwain, do you want to tell everybody what you just said as an ally?
No.
No.
I was saying it about myself.
I said maybe I'd have a little bit more money
if I didn't spend it on clothes and makeup all the time.
But that was about myself.
But that's not about, that's at the other end of the transaction.
That's when you got the money.
Yeah.
Yeah, so not my fault.
That's your money.
Once it's your money, that's your money.
What they're saying is the equal in the terms before the money.
Am I more of an ally than Carwen is to her own team? I think you are. I think you are. Wow. What they're saying is they're equal on the terms before the money. Am I more of an ally than Carwin is to her own team?
I think you are. I think you are.
Wow. What an ally. Do you want to be an ally
and give me some money?
Shall I play the ads? I spent
quite a bit of mine the weekend.
On your wife?
Yes. Ally?
No, that's our money, Carwin.
She's a terrible ally.
She's a terrible ally. Yeah.
She's a terrible ally.
That's our money.
You have to share your money?
Carwen!
I know I'm an ally.
Again, more of an ally than you're making yourself out to be.
I am the biggest ally.
Well, you're on the team.
It's like finding out someone on the Warriors is betting against the Warriors before the game.
Yeah. And meanwhile, you know, people are remaining to keep in the faith.
It can all come back to a Warriors analogy, by the way.
Yeah, it can.
Any ally teaming up.
Well, hopefully Hayley back tomorrow.
I doubt it.
Or the end of this year.
Next year.
Right, okay.
You'll be lucky to see her before next year.
Well, somebody has worked out trawling Google the top 15 most misspelled words.
Now, they use the words that are quite hard in the first place.
Okay.
Quite tricky in the first place. And then trawled Google search data, and they've come up with 15.
Now, a lot of these are I and E's back, you know, the wrong way.
Heck yes.
Because does that trip you up quite a bit?
I was trying to spell out the weekend, and I kept putting the shield.
E-I-I-E.
I don't know.
I just type in if it gets a squiggly line, and my phone just corrects it. S-H-I-E. I don't know. I just type in if it gets a squiggly line and my phone just corrects it.
S-H-I-E.
I-E.
I before E except after.
There's a whole lot of exceptions and that's not really a rule to play by anymore.
I know because there's so many exceptions.
I'm like, ugh.
Wow.
The list of the 15 most common misspelled words, number 15.
I thought we'd run through these.
Siege.
Siege. Oh, under siege. S- run through these. Siege. Siege.
Oh, under siege.
S-E.
No.
S-I-E-G-E.
But people most commonly misspell with the E first.
The E, right.
Next on the list, spaghetti.
S-P-A-G-H-E-T-T-I.
Yeah, they miss out the H.
It's the most common thing there.
Broccoli.
Oh.
What are there two of?
The C's or the L's?
Well, that's what people get wrong.
B-R-O-C-C-O-L-I.
Correct.
There are two C's.
This is how I remember occasion.
Occasion has two C's and one S's
because I would like to see the occasion.
And then you put it on the C.
I see me some broccoli.
That's how I'm going to remember it from now on too.
Next on the list,
and bear in mind this is from America,
is license.
But the incorrect way people are spelling it in America
is the way that we spell it with a C
and they spell it with an S.
Do they spell it L-I-S-E-N-S-E?
Oh, no, no.
Which one's the wrong,
on, you know,
the wrong one is how we spell it.
They spell it with an S,
American spelling.
L-I-S-E-N-S-E.
Yeah.
Or C at the end.
Yeah.
L-I-C-E-N-C-E.
They spell it,
that's how we spell it.
Yeah.
But that's wrong for them.
L-I-C-E-N-S-E is the license. Yeah, correct how we spell it, but that's wrong for them. L-I-C-E-N-S-E is that, like sense.
Yeah, correct.
Because for a moment I was like, oh my God, which one am I reading wrong?
No, but yeah, it is.
Yeah, they spell it with an S.
Like they use Zs instead of Ss.
They're weird, aren't they?
Yeah.
Someone's got to have a word to that country.
11 on the list of the most commonly misspelt words until only one L.
Only one L.
Are they spelling it with two Ls?
Yes.
Congratulations. They're spelling congratulations. two Ls? Yes. Congratulations.
They're spelling congratulations.
They're putting a D in there.
Oh, no, no.
What about occurred?
Occurred?
Yeah.
C-U-R-D.
Like milk curd.
No, like occurred.
No, O-C-U-R-D.
Yeah.
It occurred to me.
An occurrence.
It occurred to me that.
O-C-C-U-R.
Occur.
But how many R's? One R. Two. What? For occurrence or occur? Occur. But how many R's?
One R.
Two.
What?
For occurrence or occur?
Occurred.
Oh, occurred.
Occurred.
Yeah, okay.
Connecticut is one that people spell wrong.
Oh, yeah, that's a place.
Believe, that's another I and E round the wrong way.
It's I-E.
Rhythm, this one always gets me.
It's like psychologist, therapist.
No, psycho. Physiotherapist.
Physiotherapist. Yeah.
Psychotherapist. Those PHs, yeah.
Physics.
What's this one? Rhythm.
Rhythm. R-H-Y-
T-H-M. Yeah,
correct. Yes. Separate.
No. Separate. I never know.
It's S-E-P-A-R
Separate. A-T-E's S-E-P-A-R-A-T-E.
That's separate, but what about separate?
Well, this is separate.
If you or I were to have separate beds,
that would be different if we were to separate the bed.
Separate something, yeah.
Yeah.
So this is separate.
Separate.
Yeah, we're separating this chocolate.
Receive is number four on the list of the most commonly misspelled words
because of the I and the E again.
Nice, same thing.
I and the E back to front.
Yeah.
What is that one?
Is that N-I-E?
Yep.
C-E.
Arctic.
I do this all the time with Antarctic.
Arctic.
Because there's another C in there.
Yeah.
A-R-C-T-I-C.
Correct.
And the most commonly misspelled word from America,
calendar.
C-A-L-E-N-D-A-R.
Yeah, but they're spelling it E-R.
D-E-R. Yeah. Do we spell it E-R?
No. You sure?
Well, now you've got me second guessing
myself, but I'm more sure it was A-R.
Oh, yeah, it is A-R. Yeah, it is A-R, now that
I look at it. Yeah. But it also does look
right E-R. Yeah, it is AR now that I look at it. But it also does look right ER.
Yeah, that one misspelled.
Oh, someone's got a tip to remember how to do rhythm.
Oh, okay.
These are the things I love.
If you remember them right, you never forget it.
Rhythm has your two hips moving.
Rhythm has your two hips moving.
That's how you remember.
R-H-Y-T-H-E.
Oh, I love that. Rhythm has your two hips moving.
Seg.
Someone said spell seg.
Don't look at the computer because that's written on your screen.
Seg, seg.
No, it's not written on my screen.
Oh, it is written.
No, I only want to open that thing.
It's R.
Okay.
R, seg.
This is a word you see every day.
S-E-G-U-E?
Correct.
Yeah.
Yes.
Somebody said they just learned to spell that last night.
See, but why do you need to know that word?
A segue?
I don't know, segue?
Segging is what we call joining two songs and mixing them.
You can save the seg.
Yeah.
But other than that, I don't know, would you need that most days in your life?
No.
Hmm. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, over the weekend, a couple have taken what some are calling the selfie of the year.
Selfie of the year? I don't know if anyone else...
Well, we are getting towards the end of the year.
We're going to start getting those lists, like, you know, the top...
Of the years.
We're about to get our Spotify roundups.
Yeah, that's the start of December.
Yeah, all those lists start coming out, even though it's not
quite the end of the year.
I don't know if there has been a selfie this year.
Remember when that monkey
took a selfie? Everyone was like,
selfie of the year.
I don't think we've had one this year.
I can't think of one.
Because although there's been a few people who have been
in trouble for taking
photos,
but they have not been selfies. people who have been in trouble for taking photos. Yeah.
But they have not been selfies.
Somebody else has been taking them.
Well, over the weekend, there was a plane crash.
It was a LATAM flight taking off in Peru.
Yeah, I've heard about this.
Have you seen the video?
No.
Wild.
It's like a security cam footage or like a wide shot of the runway.
Yeah.
So the plane's taking off. And, you know, these planes are gunning it.
You know, they take off at hundreds of kilometres an hour, these planes.
It hits, before it takes off the ground, maybe midway through, at midpoint of the runway,
hits a fire truck, which was not meant to have been on the runway.
Apparently it was involved in some kind of exercise.
Yeah, famously not where fire trucks are meant to be.
No, not on the...
During takeoff.
Like occasionally they'll do a little like survey of the runway,
won't they, to see if, you know, it's clear of debris.
Yeah.
But we were lucky enough to go to Auckland Airport where we once
had a toot around the airfield.
Yeah, we were on a ute and we drove down the runway,
but that was when no planes were coming nor going.
And it was interesting because they actually have to get clearance,
don't they, to enter the runway.
Yes.
They talk to the control tower.
They talk to the control tower or the tower in charge of that area,
and, yeah, they say you can go on now or you have to wait.
But, yeah, this plane smashes into an A320,
smashes into the fire truck.
And thankfully, everybody on the plane was okay.
There were two firefighters died though.
That were in the truck.
That were in the truck because the truck got obliterated.
And it's just lucky that the plane didn't go up in a fireball.
Yeah.
Because you think about all the fuel, you know, pre-takeoff.
And so this couple covered in fire foam, firefighter foam,
evacuate the plane.
And they take a selfie looking back at the plane.
After they...
Yeah.
And everyone's like, well, it's quite...
I mean, you're looking at the photo now, Vaughn, for the first time.
It's a remarkable photo.
It is.
And I don't know, they didn't know at the time that two people had passed.
I wouldn't have imagined.
They just thought they'd survived
a plane crash
and they wanted to get a photo of it.
But then they put it up
and the minute it's up,
I can see that there's various
different Twitter accounts
are sharing it there.
So it's like once it was up,
even if they took it down,
it's out there now.
It's out there.
So yeah, people are saying it's selfie of the year. People are saying it's out there now. It's out there. So, yeah, people are saying it's, you know, selfie of the year.
People are saying it's really bad taste.
Yeah.
I mean, what would you do?
You just evacuated a plane.
You'd get a phone.
You'd get your phone out, right?
Yeah.
I would have got a video of it probably happening.
You've just survived a plane crash where you probably should have died.
Yeah.
I mean, would you post it, though?
Probably not straight away.
Probably privately
to like your private Facebook.
Yeah.
But not publicly
to a public account,
not straight away.
Yeah, well,
if you haven't seen the video,
it's pretty insane.
It was really going
when it hit that.
It was flying.
It looked like
it was about to take off.
Yeah.
About to leave the ground.
I just saw a little bit. bit Yeah I've just seen the footage
It's pretty wild eh
Top six is next on the show
I'm just watching it
It's
Absolutely
That fire truck knows
It's in the wrong spot too
Because he looks like
He's turned quite
Turned quite quickly
To try to get the hell out of the way
Yeah
In a way turned into the
The path of the plane
Yeah
Top six next.
Neighbours has been saved by Amazon.
The top six changes to Neighbours when it comes back to Amazon.

Amazon, not son.

Okay, I would marry Hayley.
