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, try their refreshing McCafe iced coffee. Available now at Macca's. Happy Anzac weekend to those listening. I'm off to the Coromandel. Is this with friends or with the fiancé?

Yeah, with our friends. It's two couples, fiancé and our two friends. Swingers. Who booked the Airbnb? Our friends, but we as a quartet have stayed in this exact Airbnb before. Okay, so is there even rooms? No. Because this is my issue with Airbnbs.

There's always a shitty little kid's bed that some adult gets. No, there's none of that so we stayed there last year I think okay we were in October and we had the best time and it's like an A-frame house

which I think are the silliest houses like a ski chalet they're like a tent you waste so much space it's so much unusable space you can't get into the nooks they're too low

I mean they're great in like Oikuni because it snows because the snow doesn't go on the roof and the Coromandel. Yeah. Useless.

But upstairs, where I believe Aaron and I will go again, was like a loft sort of area. Oh, okay. It's hot up there. Really hot up there. But it had a firmer bed and it all got bad back Aaron. Yeah. And downstairs was another double bed for our friends, but it was lumpy and soft. So maybe we will have to swap this time.

We have yet to decide. Yet to decide. We're going to Whangapua, you know, kind of right by old, what's the beach? New Chums. New Chums. Right around the corner. It's a walk.

You walk from there to New Chums. Oh, lovely. I know. And I don't know. Hopefully the weather holds out because I want to swim regardless. Don't let that stop you. Just swim anyway. It might be a bit nippy.

Marco, sharks are in there too. Are they sharks in there? Well, the sea. I don't know if they'll go for you. Excuse me. She's very seal looking. As Fletch said, I don't know if they go for you. He looked me up and down like I was shit on a shoe.

And then we did a little hand gesture like a bit of you. It's a compliment. Why? You'll be safe in the water. Because I'm so slender. Yes. There's nothing on you. There's nothing to me.

Yeah. They don't go for skinny binnies. Other than my fat dumper. But that's. That might look like a chunky bit of seal meat. Yeah, but they'll get in there and they'll realise it's just it's full muscle you know there's no good fatty bits so you think you'll be one of those like shark victims that has like just a mark and a chomp on the on the dumper and they're just like yuck and they're like too it's too gristly it's too

strong that's chewy we'll try to avoid being a shark attack victim well they don't want anything to do with me Oh my god I can't believe I'm insulted that you said that a shark Wouldn't want to eat me A shark would be privileged to eat me And so now this weekend, whatever the weather, you'll be like In the water, come on, come on Are they like cats?

You're like puss puss puss puss puss puss Shark shark shark Just open up with a blade, just open up your hand Squeeze it into the water Cut the hand before I go in Puss puss puss puss puss Shark, shark, shark. Sharky, sharky, sharky. Just open up with a blade. Just open up your hand. Squeeze it into the water. Cut the hand before I go in. Yeah. Woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh. Yeah, you don't shake the biscuits for a shark.

You just bleed. Yeah, bleed in the water. I'll be shaking my biscuits for the shark. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Happy Friday.

Happy Friday to ya. Another long weekend. We like these. Long weekend after long weekends, don't we? Yes, we do. And then we get a, like normally we wouldn't get a long weekend until Labor Day. Yeah, October. But we get Matariki.

Yes, the weekend of the 24th. Yes. There'll be a long weekend then. Great stuff. Now, again, probably good to mention this morning now, just so we don't get people's hopes up. I don't want people driving around going mad out there. Getting ready to toot.

I mean, by all means, conduct your own long weekend group toot on this the eve of the long weekend, but we won't be doing a long weekend group toot. Just because we just had one. Yeah. We tooted out. We're saving up for Matariki. Yeah, so that't be doing a long weekend group toot. Well, just because we just had one. Yeah. We tooted out. We're saving up for Matariki. Yeah, so that'll be the next long weekend group toot.

Coming up on the show, though, the top six. Yeah, it's Earth Day. Happy Earth Day. Yay. That's why we're actually doing the show in the dark this morning. Yes, we are. All sorts of things happening under the desk. Yeah, because I've got a fire to light later, so I need to even it out earlier in the day

by not using as much power. Oh yeah, that's how it works. But the top six things I love about Earth. It's Earth Day after all. It's like telling someone on their birthday the favourite thing you like about them. Also warning if you use the hairdryer, Vaughn. You should not use the hairdryer in a hotel.

Why that is, soon on the show. That face, you've used it. If you're going away for a long weekend, take your own hairdryer. The hotel. Why that is, soon on the show. Yeah. That face, you've used it. If you're going away for a long weekend, take your own hairdryer. The last one I used when I caught it burst, you know, it went poof, and then that was it. Like fizzed. Yeah, and I just tucked it back in the drawer and let that dry by the air. Maybe that's somebody else's problem. Yeah.

And that hotel burnt down, didn't it? Yeah, it did. Oh, the insurance. I mean, they don't check that, do they? No. I think you obviously got away with that, right? Well, the cleaners aren't going to, I mean, I didn't do anything wrong, but the cleaners aren't going to come in, plug it in, turn it on,

and be like, yeah, it's still good. Yeah, it's their fault for having a crappy hairdryer. Yeah, it is. All right, well, why you shouldn't use the hotel hairdryer coming up, but next on the show. Well, when it comes to a good relationship, it's about more than just, let him, bonking and banter. There's something else that's even more important.

Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Santa is something else that's even more important. What do you reckon most couples argue over? Sex? Money. Or chores? Oh, chores. Yeah, it's chores. So sex and money are the second and third, but chores. Who does the chores?

Who pulls their weight around the house is the number one thing. It's me. Always me. And your partner? Nothing gets done. Because they don't exist. Yeah. That'll do it.

That'll do it. Lazy. There was a survey done that asked a lot of couples, same-sex, opposite-sex couples, about dividing housework and how it affects their relationship. And the majority, 65% said that dividing housework equally is just as important as sex. Yeah, right. Far less sexy though, isn't it?

Far less fun. Well, otherwise you're just arguing, right? If somebody's not pulling their weight. Arguing all the time. And nobody wants to have sexy times when you're hating them. Absolutely. Over half of them said that it would help improve their loyalty to the relationship So I guess like

How long are you going to stay in this relationship for? Yeah If things were split 50-50 Do you argue about chores much? Nah not really Would that be not really? Nah not really

You just end up doing the dishwasher though Because it gets done right though Oh my gosh And it stacks beautifully Do you ever stacking a regime? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's just done right, isn't it? Pots don't get put in there.

Oh, who's putting pots in there? Unless you're fully stacked and you've got one whole bottom rack empty. Yeah. Maybe pop a pot in there. Give it a good scrub and rinse beforehand. I think they should be hand washed. Pots absolutely should be hand washed. Knives hand washed.

Knives hand washed. Like sharp knives. Like big knives. They go rusty otherwise. Butter knives. Butter knives in the drawer. In the drawer, yeah, yeah. Anything with a wooden handle.

No, no, no, no. Right, but you don't argue? You're not a big one arguing about the chores? No, because I work a little bit more than Aaron, so he'll probably end up doing more of the housework than I cook more. So we're pretty even. We're even Stevens. We don't argue about it.

We argue about everything else. But they say that relationships, even though it might sound silly and trivial, splitting your chores is really important. And even to the point where couples should have like a schedule of chores, like almost a chore chart or a chore wheel that's one way to really rip the sex out of a relationship

isn't it? spinning a chore wheel give them a star chart a rewards based system stick with it nobody's doing a star chart are they? what if you had like a I'm just condescending as you please

But some dudes like to be humiliated Or imagine you're married to a teacher She might have a star chart for you She might bring home the coolest stickers The roll of stickers The roll of stars Remember the sparkly roll of stars Gold stars

Sometimes they were just Green or red Yeah What if you had a chore wheel That you spun But scattered throughout it Were some sexy things So you're either Going to do the dishes Or we're going to have

A little What about If one half of the wheel Is sex stuff And the other half Is a chore So you spin it Whatever it lines up on

Is what you get to do After you've done your chore Oh this is a great idea Great idea How good's that? Yeah. Give the floor a vacuum and I'll give you a vacuum. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

A microbiologist called Chuck. Okay. Once had a little look. Can I Chuck? And with a little bit of luck, old Chuck found. There's only so many things that rhyme with Chuck before you have to use the F word. So I'm just going to put that to the side. He found some muck.

He found some muck. Yes. Because he's a microbiologist. Yep. And he looks for muck and he makes a buck. Yep. That's our friend, the microbiologist Chuck. Studied hotel rooms and, I mean, travels back on the semi-menu, you know?

Yeah. So don't use the hairdryer. Oh, really? That's basically what he said. And we've spoken about this, never use the kettle or the jug in it. People wash their undies in it. I know. People boil off their undie bacteria.

Their genie germs. Yeah. And pop in their cups too. What are those things called? Measuring cups. Men genie germs. And pop in their cups too. What are those things called? Measuring cups. Menstrual cups. Measuring cups. Put your menstrual cup in the jug.

Or in like a boiling mug of water. Oh no, I put my retainer in there. Don't do that. But the cups need to be cleaned. There are certain things that need to be cleaned as you go through when they come in to clean the room. They tick, rip the sheets

off, tick, scrub the toilet and spray some sort of antibacterial stuff on the seat. Tick, clean out the sink. Tick, wipe the shower. Tick, the hairdryer is apparently never on anybody's list. Really?

Of things that needs to be cleaned. So everybody uses it in the bathroom, handles it, but then they just wrap it up and put it away. Plus it's floating around in a room of poo particles and the likes. Toothbrushes, all sorts of things get splashed. Water gets splashed on there. And you've got to hold it for ages because they're the worst hairdryers. Yeah, but then if they put a nice hairdryer in there,

it gets stolen every time, doesn't it? Imagine they had a little Dyson. You know, the ones that are super small and large. They'd have to be at the gym. It'd be on the chain. It'd be wired into the socket. Yes. Chuck recommended that these were added to the list Of definite clean items

Yeah right By the way it's not just the handle You know how if you've got a hair dryer The back where it sucks the air in Gets dusty and it gets the dust covering And it can actually be a fire risk Also sucks your hair in sometimes Which seems counterintuitive doesn't it

I once famously at the pool Saw a man standing Oh for god's sake, no. Drying his pubis. No. Didn't he? Then the sign went up. Yeah, then the sign went up.

Don't use for pubes. Why? I mean, why not? I know. You know, why not? It was something to behold. But I've heard about these male bathrooms at the gym. If your pubes need a blow dryer, you've got too many pubes.

Yeah, exactly. You need a trim, but don't do that at the gym bathroom either. Absolutely not. Don't be trimming in the shower. At home. What a shame though, just like standing full nude at the mirror. Leg up. Giving the bush a blow wave. How dense is it that it will be

too wet to put undies on? Were they combing it as they blow dried it? No, just a straight blow. No combing. Get a towel on that thing. And again, if it's still wet after that, you've got too many pubes. Wow. Just knock some of them off. What would the tip be?

Maybe just take a sanitary wipe, like an antibacterial wipe. Give it a wipe. Give it a wipe before you use it. So Chuck also said there's other areas like remote controls, light switches, and things that are regularly touched that aren't usually on the cleaning list. Well, the hotel I last stayed in, the remote was like vacuum sealed in a plastic. But I don't understand that. You had to rip it off so that you showed that you used the remote. Oh, right.

So then they'd clean it. Or they put it in like another one had it in a bag. So you had to rip the paper bag open. That's a good idea. Yeah, yeah. That's a good idea. I thought you meant it was just sealed In a plastic thing I was like

But then you're just touching the plastic thing Yeah yeah Touching all the plastic Like when dairies have like Glad wrap over the airpods Oh yeah And you're like This feels like it's holding more germs

Yeah yeah totally It's like glad wrapping in the germs Yeah Okay so Keeping the germs fresh and crispy Sealing them up So don't use the jug And now don't use the hair dryer

Or give them a wipe Give it a wipe Before you do. Just walk in, sit on the edge of the bed and just go. Have the most anxious day on your holiday ever. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there. Today's top six, guys.

April 22nd. It's Earth Day. Happy Earth Day. Happy Earth Day to you, Mother Earth. Happy Earth Day to you. Happy Earth Day, Mother Earth. Mommy. Mommy.

Happy Earth Day to you. Oh, that was horrible. You know what? Today I won't use glad rap and I know you'll like, that was horrible. You know what? Today I won't use glad rap and I know you'll like that Hayley. Glad rap is my devil. Maybe every day don't use glad rap. Hang on. Every time I use glad rap, I'm always like, I must

send a video to Hayley. He's going to double down on glad rap tomorrow. Or sad rap, as they call it. You're saying today you're not going to use glad rap. That means you use glad rap every day. Not every day, every couple. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

Well. Do you hear that? That's a turtle screaming because he's got glad rap over his nostrils. Turtles can breathe through their butts. Oh, that'll be fine then. Exactly. Turtles are fine. Earth Day.

So, I've got the top six things I love about the Earth Okay That's pretty nice Some good appreciation from you finally Number six Oceans Have you guys seen these things? I have

Beautiful, beautiful Huge Yeah Huge Bit of plastic in them Not as nice as they once were perhaps From Hayley's glad wrap Don't you glad wrap.

Oh, don't you glad wrap me. And not as much fish as there once was. No, sadly. Coral reefs are also a bit buggy. They're a bit bleached. But on a whole oceans, you guys have got to get in one of these things. They're getting nice and warm, too. They're warming up every year. They are warming up a little bit.

They are warming up a little bit. Like a tepid bath. Yeah. They're good. I would recommend an ocean. Yeah are warming up a little bit. Like a tepid bath. Yeah. I'm good. I would recommend an ocean. Yeah. But be careful. Yeah.

Number five on the list of the top six things I love about planet Earth. Mountains. You guys seen these things? Beautiful. Beautiful. They're like flat ground, but pointy. Yeah. And they go up.

Yep. And if you go up one, you can see, if you go to the highest one in the area, you can see everything else. Yeah. Well, unless it's too high. Everest, I don't think you could see down. Are you like a climb a mountain,

go hiking person? I'm a bush walker, but I wouldn't hike a mountain. Would you stay in a hut? Yet to stay in a hut. Never? No, like a day walk. Some lovely huts out there.

Some lovely dock huts. Vaughan and I have done some dock huts. Yeah, I know, but you can get sort of bed bugs, and that's not for me. No, the mattresses are wrapped in sort of a hearty plastic. So even if you were to piss yourself, you could just tip it over. Tip it straight over, and you've got no problems, no harms, no fails. But these mountains. We do a good mulled wine

in the hut, in the dock hut. A bit of extra weight on the way in, but it makes it worth it. Maybe I'll come next time. Yeah. We've got it. We've got it with the wine.

Yes. It's a great walk. Number four on the list of the top six things I love about Earth. Animals. You guys seen these things? They're great.

They're everywhere. And they look so different. There's four-legged ones. There's two-legged ones. There's winged ones. There's bird ones. There's feathered ones. There's ones with tails.

There's ones without tails. We are them. Yeah, we are one. There's ones you can eat. There's ones that will eat you. These things are everywhere. Oh, one just flew past the window. That was a bird.

Crazy. Which falls under the animal umbrella. This Earth Day is the best one yet. It's so good. There are less of them than there were before. Less what? Animals. But more animals in really confined spaces.

So there's probably about the same amount of animals, but they're not enjoying the same freedoms they once did. I'm looking at you, caged chickens. Yeah. A lot of those. Number three. So there's probably about the same amount of animals, but they're not enjoying the same freedoms they once did. I'm looking at you, caged chickens. Yeah. A lot of those. Number three on the list of the top six things I love about Earth. Do you guys remember oceans?

Yeah. Well, I'd like to introduce you to rivers. Oh, yeah. Rivers team up mountains with oceans. Yeah. They are running water. They run down thanks to gravity to a lower point. They start high. They always end at sea level.

Yeah. That's where the rivers end. Fascinating things, rivers. They certainly are, Vaughn. Fascinating. Sometimes the river will be low. Yeah. And then it will rain.

And all the rain will congregate in the river, making the river. High. Bingo. Until it gets to the. Drought season. No, ocean. Into the ocean. And then it will go down again in the drought season.

Number two on the list of the top six things I love about earth. I've been saying like I love about earth. Ice poles. Oh, yeah. You guys seen these things? No. Not in person but have you seen the videos? Seen videos. You seen them on the map? They're melting. There's one at the top. Yep. One at the bottom. Yeah. One of them's got Santa. Santa's at the top one. North Pole you've got Santa, polar bears, narwhals, whales. And then South Pole. No penguins.

Yeah, South Pole is devil Santa. Devil Santa. Satan Panta. Krampus. Krampus. Krampus is in the South Pole. Krampus is in the South Pole. A long word.

Satan Santa. Scott Bass. Penguins. Yep. Penguins. Scott Bass. Penguins. Scott Bass. Yep. Penguins. And Scott Base. Penguins. Scott Base.

Antarctica. The Yeti. And the debris of an Air New Zealand plane. Correct. Sadly. Sadly. Sadly. RIP.

Aerobus. These are the ice poles. Yeah. I don't want anyone to get them confused with the mountains. Yeah. Because you've already mentioned mountains, which you love. I've already mentioned mountains, which I'm a huge fan of. And number one on the list, because it's Earth Day

today, the top six things I love about the Earth! Plants! You guys seen these things? There's one behind you! Watch out! It's a hedge. That is a plant. In fact, looking out there, there's lots of plants, aren't there? There's hedges, there's grasses, there's trees.

Now, these plants are everywhere and they'll sneak right up on you. You've got to be careful. You'll think, I'm in a plant-free zone. And guess what, champ? You're not. There are lots to appreciate about our Earth. Beautiful, beautiful. Get out there on this Earth day.

Beautiful orb floating in space full of oceans, mountains, animals, rivers, ice poles, and plants. Hey, Earth, I love you. That's today's top six. Okay, so the dirtiest item in your home. What do you think it is? My sheets. Well, you haven't washed them for a year.

No, you don't need to. Toilet button. Wall shortage. Toilet button? No, it's not the dirtiest because it gets cleaned a lot. Yeah, true, true, true. The toilet seat and you clean your toilet more than. The handle leading out of the toilet.

Oh, I know I always give my handles a wipe. Oh, I never wipe the handles. No, I never wipe the handles. Only in the spring clean, really. Oh, but your toilet's in the bar where you wash your hands, eh? Yep. Oh, you have a separate toilet. That's not that.

So you go back into the bathroom. A study has found some research has found that the household remote, TV remote. Oh, yes. Is the germier. So they did. They swabbed a whole lot of surfaces in the area in the study, and they found 290 colony forming units per two centimeters on a TV remote. That's terrible.

And that was... I've got no idea on the scale of... I don't know the scale of colony faecal matter and bacteria. You should read up about it. It's very interesting. But they compared that. So 290 for the TV remote per 2 centimetre square compared to the toilet, which was 12.4 forming units.

So it was, like, way more. So it was like way more. Way, way, way more. I suppose so, though. Like I cleaned my toilet maybe two days ago. I don't think I've cleaned my remote. No, you never clean it, do you? I've owned that TV for like four years. How do you clean it?

Well, you just get an antibacterial wipe. Just a little wipe. And that's what I use for like handles and stuff. Right. Which I never used to do pre-pandemic. No. Never. We've got a lot better with our cleaning.

Yeah. Also, I've got a lot of those wipes that I need to use. A lot of wipes. Don't flush them. So even during the middle of the pandemic, from 2021, a study found that adults only half use soap while washing their hands. Oh. Isn't that nuts?

That's out of America, so that's not here. I'd like to admit something. Okay. There was definitely a period of time pre-COVID where I was a water-based washer because I'm allergic to soap, and so my hands get very, very dry and eczema-y. Gotcha. So I'd always just have a little, And if it was Wheezy's. You wouldn't bother.

You'd just rinse. I'd have a little water rinse for a long time. And then COVID came and I was like. You just got to. Did you find a good soap? Yeah. But it's hard because I would always use soap-free soap. But then COVID came and it was like, that doesn't really do anything.

Yeah. Because it's the oil that breaks up in the virus. Yeah. You know the one they say is the best is like a bar. A bar of soap. A bar of soap. So you've just got one of those now. Dove bar. Well that would explain why people are going from the toilet not using soap. Half

of people and their TV remotes are filthy. And then also you're eating. You might be eating. Yes. And then you've got your greasy fingers. Yuck. I'm like that with my laptop keyboard. Eat, eat, eat. Grease, grease, grease. Well, you've got to get an antibacterial wipe on that every now and again.

I'm going to do it right now. It's feral. I reckon this laptop is dirtier than my TV remote because I always eat. I know. I was going to say you could swab it and send it away to the lab, but you don't want to know. Ignorance is bliss. It's not like you take a photo of your screen and you realize how much you spit.

I know. You're on your screen while you're talking. It's absolutely spritzed back there. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. When you think of breadcrumbs, what do you think? Maybe a little. Panko.

Panko. Always a panko. A panko, a schnitty. Yeah. Or some breadcrumbs on a mac cheese. What were those? I don't know if this counts But I always remember mum growing up

Would always do the chicken drumsticks And that breadcrummy Oh country Coating stuff Yes Yes country something And it was like yum It was yum

Did you ever have that coating? The chicken coating Yeah yeah yeah Yeah it was real yum Yeah It was kind of breadcrummy Maryland style. Yeah, I remember it.

Good stuff. I love the thing a little about chicken. Well, this isn't about chicken. They're using the term breadcrumbing in relationships. And this doesn't just apply to, you know, romantic relationships or sexual relationships. It can apply to social, family, and work

relationships. Okay. So I'm going Okay So as we go through this list I've got five signs That you're getting breadcrumbed And we can look out We can look out for these Hansel and Gretel They got breadcrumbed No, they breadcrumbed

They breadcrumbed They were the breadcrummer Yeah, they were They were the crummies Okay So breadcrumbing can be defined as the act of Leading someone on, putting out little breadcrumbs, follow me, follow me,

keeping their hopes up, keeping them interested. Like Hansel and Gretel, follow them. Yeah, yeah, come on. I'm just leaving you some little things here to keep following me. But ultimately, they will disappoint you with false expectations, empty promises, and abandonment. Oh, okay. I know.

It takes an absolute turn, doesn't it? One minute we're talking about delicious homemade chicken drumsticks. I'm taking you on a rollercoaster right here. And now we're getting deep and serious here. Somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster, which is the first sign that you're getting breadcrumbed. I don't know why I can't say that seriously.

It's pretty intense. But when you're on the receiving end of being breadcrumbed, you often experience this emotional rollercoaster. Do they like me? No, they don't. We're hot. We're cold.

What's happening? You get put through the absolute ringer. So these are really signs that your friend or whoever you're with is a terrible person? Yes, and therefore are breadcrumbing you. Right. They're not in the delicious way. They're not dipping you in flour and then egg. And boiling you.

And then panko and then giving you a boil. They're breadcrumbing you. Number two is you feel more dependent. You have more dependence on them because you're like constantly waiting for that next crumb. So you're like, hey, hey, hey. It turns you a little bit desperate after a while if you're like, I don't know.

I've had a taste of the bread. I want more bread. I want more crumbs. The third sign is you find yourself waiting a lot. So it's similar to the dependence. You're always waiting for the breadcrumber to text or call or follow through on a promise that they've made. But they're not going to because you're getting breadcrumbed.

The fourth is that you feel used and manipulated, but you'll deny it. You'll have those feelings. You'll be like, no. Because then just as you're like, this is ridiculous, they breadcrumb you. Right. Give you a little bit of attention. Give you a little bit of attention.

Give you a little bit of a crumb and then... This should be called tapas-ing. You know, you get a little tapas, you get a little tapas, you're ready for your next little plate of tapas. Yeah, but sometimes the next plate of tapas takes a little bit longer, doesn't it?

And you're like, where are my tapas at? I want more. I'm not full yet. And the last sign, this is a bit sad. You feel lonely. All of these things combined can often make you feel like it's not enough.

You need a whole slice and you're just getting crumbed. It just comes down to they're just not that into you, right? And all of those. Yes, but the difference of that, which is like, can keep people connected, I guess. Treat them mean, keep them clean. That rhetoric. Yeah. But this is more like as soon as you start to feel that way,

they give you more. Yeah. And they come back in and shower you with praise and gifts. And then disappear again. And then disappear like old Hansel and Gretel. Well, don't get breadcrumbed. Don't get breadcrumbed. You need to find yourself a big thick slice.

Of wheat, mixed grain, toast. Have the whole life. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Fletch, Vaughan 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, silly little pole. Well, today's silly little pole, do you watch TV while eating dinner? Now, will we also be accepting YouTube? Yeah, watching any screen. Watching any screen. Watching any screen. Yeah.

No surprise here that 84% of people responded absolutely. Yep. That's bad. When we grew up, the TV in the lounge was on a rolly cabinet, and you'd turn it around so you could see it from the dinner table. Yeah. That was just always what you did. I think we had a little, like, we had the TV in the lounge,

but then we had a little TV in the kitchen. Yeah, yeah. A little side table. Yeah. Well, I actually recently, I worked with a nutritionist this year to help with some of my gut health issues, and apparently this is one of the worst things to do. You know, I hate to say it, but mindful eating.

Yeah. Because, I mean, it's not just about, like, trying not to overeat, but if you're not mindfully eating eating so say you're watching a show You're just like hooning your dinner in you're eating so fast and like without much thought you're not even giving your stomach enough time to realize That it's there's food coming because you're just like there it is Apparently this is what she said to me She was like turn the TV off give yourself 20 minutes to sit down without it and eat dinner and focus on dinner. So 16% are like, no, I don't want anything while I eat dinner.

What are they doing? Just talk. Or just sitting in silence? Talking about what? What we're going to watch after dinner? Yeah. What does your family do at dinner time? Because you always talk, eh, though?

Yeah, we talk. Don't you do that? What's your one thing? What's your favorite part of the day? Oh, yeah, I do that, yeah. If you could change your part of the day, what would you change? We did what was your least favourite part of the day, but then I felt like that was negative.

Negative. So if you could change one part of the day, what would you change? Yeah, we do that too, me and Aaron. What was the highlight of your day? Yeah. Often Aaron will say this. Isn't that nice? And you're like, oh, I thought you were like.

I was like, oh. No, that's a real shit. Stop sucking up. That's a rubbish answer. And I'm like, oh, I thought you were like, no, that's a real shit, that's a rubbish answer. And I'm like, oh, I went and I spent 400 bucks at Moochie. And he's like, what? And then we fight. Yeah, yeah. And then he's like, if you could change one thing about today, what would you change?

And he's like, when you spent $400 at Moochie, you're stupid. I'm like, you stupid what? Say it, say it to my face. Stupid cow. Well, some messages in. Amy says, yes, we watch TV. You can't not watch The Chase. Yeah.

She has an early dinner. She's having a pre-six dinner. That's an either. I have a rest time dinner as well time. I'm on rest time hours. Liana said, yep, I live alone. There's no point sitting at the table. Oh, now I'm imagining she's eating a little TV dinner.

Oh, that's quite nice though. On a tray watching the telly. I sit at the table. You can't. I cannot. I don't like eating off my lap. But we've done this as a poll before, haven't we? People that eat on the couch.

It was quite higher than I thought. Yeah. If I eat in front of the TV, I'll sit on the ground cross-legged and put my plate on the coffee table. But we do. I mean, summertime, outdoors always. Oh, is it a lovely outdoor meal? Rach said, summertime, outdoors always. Oh, I see. Lovely outdoor meal. Rach said, can't start eating until I've pressed play.

Otherwise, it's a waste of a meal. George says, I can't be to sit in my own silence. I'm an iPad kid. So they've got an iPad sitting right in front of them. Yeah, I'm a laptop YouTuber. And I'll watch shows and catch up on stuff. Yeah. I watch while I cook.

But yeah, I tend to turn it off to eat. Hayley says, dinner is family time, not TV time. Yeah. I don't really have a family. Do you think if you had a family you would do like no TV? Yeah. Probably. TV off.

Sunday to Thursday we try not to eat at the table. We try not to. Oh, okay. Sunday to Thursday we try not to, comma, and eat at the table with the kids for a family dinner and a chat. By Friday Saturday it's family movie dinner and the kids love it. I had a little treat there. That's nice. Laura's playing cool

mum. We only watch the rugby if we're eating dinner. What? Husband made that rule. So he'll only watch TV if the rugby's on. But there's hardly any rugby on most nights of the week. Yeah, unless you're watching on special occasions again. Glory All Blacks games.

Someone texted, my wife hates the sound of chewing, so the TV goes on to cover it up. Yeah, it is a good cover up. That works. Yeah. Absolutely, that works. Yeah, no, I can't stand that sound of wet. I always turn around to Aaron and I'm like, you alright? I am, I'm that person. I just told you his favourite part I'm like, you alright? I am.

I'm that person. He just told you his favourite part of the day. He was like hanging out with me. And I'm like, shush. Play it. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Do you think masks make you look older or younger? Oh.

Because they do cover a big part of the old smoosh that indicates age. Well, I mean, we get up at 4 a.m., don't we? So we get the bags under our eyes. So then people are only seeing your baggy, tired eyes. So maybe, yes. I would say since wearing masks on the rig, I get ID'd a lot less. I've been ID'd, like, forever. I still get ID'd now. I'm 32've been ID'd like forever. I still get ID'd now.

I'm 32. Thank you. Thank you. Hold for applause. Hold for applause. Absolutely, yep. But with the mask, I don't because I've got really kind of wrinkly eyes because I smile a lot because I live a very happy life. So it depends. It depends. Your age, yes, it makes you look older.

Yeah, whereas I feel like I've got a fun, great, youthful smile with a quite expensive face. The smile brings it down. Yeah. But the eyes age you up. Yeah, but at the same time, you don't look like you're at high school trying to buy booze for your friends. Every time I get ID'd, since I turned 30, I'm like, look, maybe I don't look 30, but I don't look 17. Yeah, exactly.

I know, it always feels strange, but maybe it's a compliment. Well, if you're under 40, it makes you look older. But if you're 40 and above, it actually brings you down on average, your age. Yeah, I'm under 40. Wearing a mask with makeup on. Is that what they've done a study on? The Applied Cognitive Psychology magazine have printed results of a study. And yeah, for a younger woman, aged you up. For an older woman

it actually aged you down. Let's do our own study here. To you, the scientists. This is me. Yeah. This is me with the mask on. Oh yeah, older. Oh wow.

I don't know. I don't know. It would have to be a fresh face. Why am I not looking fresh? No, no, no. I mean like what I don't know. Because I know what you look like without the mask on. So it would just be someone who, A, I don't know their age,

and B, you've never seen them without a mask on. Yeah. I don't like the mask thing. I don't know who people are sometimes. I always consider myself quite the crack. Quite the crack? No. Yeah, quite the crack.

Quite the... Not crack pot. Crack shot. Quite the crack shot. There's such a fine line between being a crack shot and a crack pot. Exactly. You know those games that'll be like, what celebrity's this? In a woman's magazine, it'll just have their eyes.

Yeah. I've always considered myself quite good at that, but I've seen people that I do know, like through work and stuff, that are like, hey, and you're like, oh, hey. I find that quite helpful because I'm terrible with faces, terrible with names. So I always go, ah, and they go, oh, it's Fletch. And I go, oh, my God, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you with the mask.

The mask on. The mask, the mask, not my terrible memory. Yeah. And then you forget their name as soon as they send it to you. Mask guy's back. And you're like, Aaron, introduce yourself. Aaron, introduce yourself and listen really carefully. What's your name?

Say, hey, it's nice to meet you. I'm Aaron. But then Aaron does that and they're like, we know you, Aaron. And then they don't say their name and you're still in the dark. Oh, God. Still in the dark. So if you're underage wanting to buy booze, what should you do? Face mask and makeup.

Oh, okay. Right. Slap on some mascara. Wrap on a mask. Right. Oh, okay, right. Slap on some mascara, wrap on a mask. Right. You're not encouraging that. The biggest difference, the younger woman, it aged them up for an average of three years. But the biggest overestimation in the study group was 15 years.

Oh, wow. And that was the difference between they saw the face with the mask on and makeup, and then they saw it without. And that overestimated 15 years. I'll just put the mask back on again. 15 years. 47? Nah. Not quite, though. Nah.

But not 32 either, is it? It's hard to tell. It's so hard to guess someone's age when you can't see half their face. Well, works for me, actually, because I've got a lot of chin acne. I thought you were about to say I've got a lot of chin. No, I don't have any. You've just got to put all that acne somewhere.

It's the final rankings. She only just makes that noise. Every time I hear it, I'm like, I think it might be a re-record on that. Final. Oh, yeah, you might be right.-record on that. Ah, final. Oh, yeah, you might be right. Fine, just need to warm up a little bit.

Well, it's become a Friday tradition. We rank something. And we very rarely agree. No, today we are ranking our favourite M&Ms. Yellow. Now, some debate before we started this. Are we ranking special, like, you know, every now and again there'll be like a new flavour that might come in for a few months? No, I think we do the classics.

We simply can't because I'm looking at a list and there's probably about a hundred of them. Yeah. Yeah, no, we've got to do the classics. So what are we saying is classic? Well, I mean, your normal M&M, your milk chocolate, your peanut, crispy. Crispy. And. Minis?

No, because minis are just M&Ms. All right. So we're just doing peanut, crispy, and your white chocolate. I know you want to include that because you're trash. Your white chocolate's gone. The white chocolate you can only get in America. Okay, then well, it's off the list. We've just got three.

Those are the three main. Unless you had the caramel ones, didn't you? I had the caramel one recently, and it was good. Like, real good. It was just little caramel balls. I remember we tried the bubblegum M&Ms, and they were bleh. They were a bizarre taste. Yeah.

Bubblegum and chocolate, no. Yeah, it doesn't go. Is the caramel like caramel in the chocolate, or is it like a gooeyness? No, it's just caramel. Yeah, it's a gooeyness. It's gooey. It's like you put it in your mouth

and the shell comes off and then it's just a caramel ball and it pretty quickly turns to gooey caramel. But there must be chocolate in there too. No, I don't think so.

It's just the candy cup. Surely a slither. Not a distinguishable slither. Really? Caramel M&M's. Wow, okay. Okay, well for me, 100% number one

is the blue bag, the crispy. No. If we're talking bags, the green bag, the mixed, is the ultimate bag because you get a bit of everything. Yes, of course. No, we're not throwing in the mixed. We've got to differentiate. You've got to choose.

You've got to choose one. My issue with crispy is there's not enough to it. No. It's just a puff of dust. It's air. It's a puff of dust. Once you eat it. It's not the candy shell. It's a puff of dust.'s just a puff of dust It's air It's a puff of dust Once you eat it It's not the candy shell

It's a puff of dust It's a puff of dust Whereas I My number one Undeniably Caramel does have chocolate Doesn't it? Like a sliver

Yeah chocolate around it I thought it would Why do you think Crunchy caramel Because I didn't have Crunchy caramel Crunchy caramel has chocolate Around the outside

But I didn't have Crunchy caramel Caramel M&M's Just straight caramel Yeah it's got chocolate Of course it does I apologise I apologise profusely.

My number one, yellow bag. Peanut. Peanut. Wow. Peanut, because there's so much to it. Shell, chocolate, and then a nut. We're talking your Omega-3s, you know? Right, so you're doing this as some sort of health.

You're one of those. Absolutely. Always looking for the health benefits. Any angle of health. You're going to tell me peanuts are good for you. They're delicious, and they're big. They're booty. Have you ever had the peanut butter M&M's?

Those are legit. I remember those. They taste like Reese's peanut butter cups. Yeah, again, not American. They're not in our rankings. You can get them at the import stores, the parallel imported stores. Yeah. Is that a colouring issue?

I think it is. Probably. Probably a colouring issue. No, we can't include it. No. What about pretzel M&M's still on the market? They were yuck. No, we can't include it. No. What about pretzel M&M's still on the market? They were yuck. No, you're also a fan.

I don't like pretzels. I'm just looking at this massive list of M&M's. Well, I'm going to have to go milk chocolate. I'm going to have to go OG. Really? Classic. Yeah. Interesting.

Classic M&M's. Always classic M&M's. It's just chocolate. I found a ranking online and Classic M&M's smoked it Really? Yeah Who's the Mama Papa company of M&M's? Mars

Mars? Yeah Oh they do a good chocolate Yeah it's delicious You don't have any support You're going for a puff of dust I've added a peanut to mine You've just gone strip chocolate

I'm going original yeah So you want to make sure That it's good quality chocolate There's no doubt that it doesn't cost them much to make crispy M&M's They've probably nailed it They're saving so much money Yeah, because there's not as much chocolate There's nothing to them

They just sweep the dust off the floor and run it through the machine Yeah, exactly It's kind of like a wafer, right? It's a wafer crispy chocolate mix It is, it's the same sort of wafer that makes up a Kit Kat Yum, I love it I like, definitely a green bag though, the mix The mix bag's got something for everybody wafer crispy chocolate mix. It is. It's the same sort of wafer that makes up a Kit Kat. Yum. I love it. I like,

definitely a green bag though, the mix. The mix bag's got something for everybody. Yeah. If the mix bag's on offer, I'm getting the mix bag. Do you know what we should? Because there's no such thing

as a bad M&M, by the way. No, that's true. Good call. Oh, if there was a bowl of milk chocolate M&Ms here, which are at the bottom of my list.

You'd still smash them. You'd still smash them. Oh, I would hone them. Yeah. I can't wait to be famous as soon as a little burp came out because I was thinking about M&M's. That's how temperamental your stomach is. You even think of the wrong thing and it's like.

Yeah, my stomach's like, please don't do that to me. I can't wait to be famous enough to order a bowl of M&M's just one colour, even though they all taste exactly the same. Well, famously, that's what some people want. When they say, I want a bowl of M&M's, but no blue. As their backstage rider. Yeah. I'm on M& I want a bowl of M&M's, but no blue. As their backstage rider. Yeah. I'm on M&M's.com.

M&M's.com. There's no and in the middle. It's just M&M's.com. Or you can do that. One color. Oh, wow. You can do a custom order. Custom order.

Yeah. I don't know how well it will ship internationally. Do you know what we should do for rankings next time is movie snacks. And you're only allowed things that are at the movies Oh yeah Tangy fruits We haven't made tangy fruits for like 10 years Snifters then

I'll go snifters number one Snifters are gone too Jesus it's not the 90s How long have I been on this diet Sparkles have gone too There's no such thing as sparkles have gone too. What? There's no such thing as sparkles. University of Southern California has done a study looking at our workout habits. And what they found is that having a workout buddy increases the amount of exercise we do,

the results that we get from doing that exercise, and how much we enjoy it. Which makes a lot of sense because sometimes it's a bit of a punish, isn't it, going on your own? We've done a few classes together. Yeah. And I guess it kind of makes you go along because you're like, oh, I could just not go today. But then, oh, Hayley's meeting me there. Yes. And that's like, that's a prime example of like when you, if you exercise with a friend, it says,

you are more likely to push yourself. And that class that we did, ceremony. Oh, yeah, that's hard. That's like an F45 class. It's like a psychotic class. I would have never done that on my own. Vaughn. Vaughn, Vaughn.

Vaughn. Vaughn. No, Mum, that's all. Vaughn about dumb Joseph. Me and Fletch talking about how we worked out together. Oh, okay. Oh, cool. Sorry, I didn't miss anything.

So it was this, like, real intense class. And, like, we were just like, oh, my God, that's so scary. And then we were like, let's worked out together. Oh, okay. Oh, cool. Sorry, I didn't miss anything. So it was this, like, really intense class, and, like, we were just like, oh, my God, that's so scary, and then we were like, let's do it together, and then we got real fat. Vaughn, Vaughn, Vaughn. Ah, yep. We're still talking about that. We're going to the gym together.

Cool, cool, cool, cool. But in terms of, like, I always, because you, Jim, so like, don't you? Jesus, what happened? I got a little heck up. I got a little heck up. You got an electric shock. It was like you, Jim. like don't you jesus i got a little hecka i got a little hecka he died doing what he loved talking about the gym and being at work but you you go solo yeah i'm a wolf you have like the motivation like, the motivation. That's another hang-up. Not every day.

But that's life, isn't it? You have your ups and your downs. But would you find going with someone would be better? Horrible. Yes, exactly. I watch shows. When I'm not going to the gym, like, when I hurt my back, I had a backlog of television to watch.

Because I just do cardio and watch Netflix. Oh, you do cardio. I was like, how do you lift weights and watch a show that feels dangerous you know i do that as well and i just ipad propped up there and i just kind of like listen and every now and then i'll cast an eye down i'll be like i'm still up to date the motivation thing because i work out with a pt most times now because i lose motivation going on my own so if she's there i'm like well not only can she give me a whole bunch of skills that I don't have and actually push me to go further,

but I'm like accountable to her. No, see, my motivation is looking at your bank statement and seeing that you're paying for the privilege of going. Yeah.

So now I've got to go, I'm going to go, I'm going to have a long ass shower. I'm going to have the hottest, longest shower. I'm going to get my money's worth out of hot water alone. Yep.

This research also looked that, and, I'm having a brain hiccup, also showed that if you're working out with a buddy and you're kind of like, you both have the similar goals and similar kind of, you know, end goals that you want to achieve,

that when they start to lose weight, it motivates you even more. Oh, right. Because I can't let them look good and not me. Yes, maybe. But then I always find when I run into friends at the gym, you just end up yarning and talking forever. Like slower.

You just get sidetracked. Too much chat. Yeah, too much chit-chat. Yeah, that's why I like working out with my PT. She's definitely like, we've been working out for four years together, so she's definitely like a friend now, but we're still, you know, client, client

coach. Right. So, you know, we do get work done because otherwise it would be terrible. Well, if you weren't seeing results and you're not getting work done, you'd just cancel your PT. Are you saying that you're not seeing results? Are you saying, sorry, you're saying that you're looking at me and you haven't seen any results?

I'm seeing so many results. So many results. You said that like really convincingly, Vaughn. What was I supposed to do? Yeah, I've been gawking at your ass and it's so shapely. There's no right answer here. I've been noticing that dumper for years. Man, look at that dumper.

Get over here and give us a look. There's no right answer to that. ZN's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Refund your day. Get over here and give us a look. There's no right answer to that. There's a couple of clauses before you refund your date, though. You've got to tell us how much it cost and what was bad about it. And then we put it into the date refund of $3,000. It calculates. We've refunded anything from movies to dinners to cocktail to fuel.

Yeah, to a Lamborghini. Oh, yeah. That private jet we refunded. The interplanetary mission that you went on for your first date that didn't go great. Every cent we'll refund. Briar joins us. Good morning, Briar.

Hi, how you going? Try to colonise Mars on your first date, Briar. No, no, not quite. We got in big trouble when we refunded that. There was not enough money for that. Briar, tell us about this date. What happened?

It's a bit of a dirty one. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah, let's get filthy. So I met a guy, had a few friends in common, just did, like, movies and drinks at my house for the night, probably had a bit too much to drink, went to bed. He took his underwear off. I'm not sure why.

Oh, you get part. Is he a nude sleeper? Yeah, sometimes you've got to let it breathe at night. Yeah, yeah, maybe he didn't have spare clothes the next day. I don't know. Right. Oh, right, so rather than

muddy them up, not muddy them up, that's a terrible way of sweating them overnight, he decided to go clean up his... Yeah, yeah, totally fine usually.

That's cool. Yeah. But I got woken up in the early hours to him screaming, get up, get up, I've shat the bed. No!

No! I think that's it. We retire this segment. It's never going to get better. Let's give Brian all of the budget that we had for him. Everything for eternity and hereafter. We just replay this call every time. Okay, so, Brian, you snap away.

What's going on? He's just screaming at me and we don't know each other that well and he's like, get up, get up, get up. He's woken me up. You haven't shat the bed. What is going on? And then, yeah, literally he's stripping the sheets off the bed and I'm

just standing there confused and like, how do I deal with this? How do I navigate this? Do I kick him out? What do I do? Wow. So safe to say there was no second date? We actually carried on seeing each other for a few months. Because you can't embarrass him.

For the sake. You'd feel bad, right? You'd be like, I can't leave you at the back of that. You know, you'll never get to that. It was definitely out of pity. I was like, no, you can stay. It's all good. He took care of the sheep.

I later birthed him because there is no way you can come back from that. So they got out. But he tried. He was nice. And he tried. But my lovely Egyptian cotton Super King sheets had to be destroyed. Oh, a crime has been committed. Oh, no.

All the place. Briar. So how much are we requesting for a date refund here, Briar? Can I leave it up to you guys? Like, you know, Egyptian cotton's not cheap, but I'll take what I can get. Egyptian, Egyptian cotton. not cheap but I'll take what I can get Egyptian Egyptian cotton

What size is your bed? Super King So you're telling me you were single and you had a Super King bed Yeah I have lots of cats Oh my god The story gets worse I hope he didn't shit on the cats.

Oh, no. If it got all through the fur, they would have made the whole day so much worse. Okay, so we've got at Briscoe's, we've got 80 buckets. Oh, okay. Living & Co. at the warehouse, it's 109 buckets. Oh, Egyptian cotton. Yes, it is Egyptian cotton. What was your thread count?

Give me your thread count? Jesus, these were up in the high thousands These were expensive These were like $500 sheets $500? Not when there's $100 Briscoe's had a sale one day last year That one was You said $90 and $100

Why don't we go in the middle Dick Smith Online is selling them for 89 and you've got a 1200 thread count. Oh, okay. Which is the highest thread count I can find. Well, if we go 100.

I reckon we can go 100. 100 goes a long way towards some nicer gypsy cottage. It does, yes. That sounds pretty good. Hopefully briskos have a sale one day.

Wow, I don't know if they will be on a Sprite. Did he? No, it's my birthday. Brian, was there ever an explanation as to why the nighttime defecation? He reckons it was my birthday. Brian, was there ever an explanation as to why

the night time defecation? He reckons it was a bad chicken roll he had eaten. A bad chicken roll? Without getting

too grim, did it look like a bad chicken roll? I didn't, I really didn't look like it. Oh,

thank God, Brian. I shouldn't have asked. I shouldn't have asked. Most unusual. All right,

well, Brian, we'll lock in that $100 refund today. Congratulations. Awesome. Thank you, guys. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley.

Hello. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. No long weekend group toot today because we just had one last week. Feel free to just do it, you know. Oh, absolutely. Practice for Matariki.

That'll be the next long weekend group toot. Yeah, indeed. Warm it up. Coming up on the show, though, I feel like we're going to get a bit emotional. Yes, I know. We're talking about the films that scarred you for life. Ones you just can't quite shake off. Maybe it's sad. maybe they were scary?

Or maybe you're so scary you couldn't get to sleep because you saw a horror when you were like, I don't know, eight. Yeah. Accidentally. Way too young. Yeah. It's like me, I feel like I was too young at the age of 13 to go and see Passion of the Christ in the cinemas.

Far too young. Too young to see people throwing up around me and leaving in tears. My wife. Friday Flashback. Your wife what? What does Sade want? Her dad would let them watch shit like Pet Sematary and It. What?

No. Her mum was a nurse, so she'd be working night shift. And he'd put on like, oh, this is something I want to watch. And sit down and watch It as a family. I think even when I saw Pet Sematary and It when I was like, I don't know, 13, 14. Yeah, me too. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That was scary enough.

No, no, no, no, no, no. That's coming up on the show. But Hayley, it's your pick this week for Friday Flashback. Yes, and of course, I have chosen to honor the Anzacs. In a very loose way. In a very loose way. I think we should say in a very loose way, yeah, because you've just chosen an Australian artist. An Australian artist.

Now, look, I was obsessed with these two. And I even think by saying these two, you already know who I'm talking about. It is, of course, the Veronicas. A classic Aussie duo.

I thought it was going to be Kath and Kim. Oh, whoosh. Did they ever do a... They should have put a single out. They should have had an album. They should have had an album. They should have cashed in on that.

I've seen remixes of songs where they've taken things they say and put them into songs. Yeah. Like that episode where they do drugs and she wakes up with a chuppa-chuppa stuck in her perm. Oh, it's so good. I need to re-watch that. I've gone for the Veronicas, the Sestis, not Kath and Kim. And this was hard to choose a song from them, I've got to say, because they're all bangers.

They've got so many bangers. So many bangers, but this one, it just got me in the feels and got me feeling ready for a Friday. I know that the song was everywhere. Like, we've played this song so many times on the radio. Yeah, so it was released in 2005 in Australia, New Zealand and in the US, but then they re-recorded it and released it in 2009 on another album, and it did well again.

So people didn't really pick it up the first time? No, no, no, it did well over here, but not in the UK, so they were like, um, the song's a banger. Hello. I was like, okay, we'll add a couple more guitars and we'll just give it to you again. And people were like, hell yeah. It did really well.

It reached number seven in New Zealand. Okay. It's spent seven weeks in the top ten and 23 weeks on the charts. There's no denying it. It's an absolute banger. Let's get into it. This is four, the number four, forever by the Veronicas. ZM, it's your Friday flashback. care size me up you know i'll be the best tick tock no time to rest let them say what they're

It's a sweaty banger. It's a sweaty Forever Friday flashback. You'll pick Hayley and it's, I think, overwhelmingly positive. Yeah, I think so. It's a sweaty banger.

It's a sweaty banger. Yeah. I mean, nothing screams Anzac Day like the Veronica. No, exactly. Yeah, for the sacrifice that our forefathers made. It's actually the RSA's choice for the parades. Parade, yeah. Yeah, the RSA parades.

I mean, when we said it was honouring Anzac weekend. Well, it's just an Australian- New Zealand bond, isn't it? It's a bond. It's a bond. It's a bond we're highlighting there. Feedback. Someone said, I feel heard again. Yes.

I see you. I hear you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody said, oh, this takes me back to a lot of black eyeliner. Oh, yeah. They loved it all around. Because you were big into Veronica's, weren't you? No, I actually wasn't.

They were a bit light for me. Remember, I was a bit more metal-y. Yeah, you were more into your emo bands. Yeah, and they were more of a guilty listen. I was going to say they were pop punk, but there was a big crossover. They were a guilty pleasure. Yeah, you'd have a guilty listen, but then you'd put on your Cradle of Filth and be like, yeah, this is real metal.

Cradle of Filth. Maybe that'll be my next Friday flashback, some Cradle of Filth and be like, yeah, this is real, Meryl. Cradle of filth. Maybe that'll be my next Friday flashback, some cradle of filth. No. I don't know what cradle of the filth song would tick the box on it. Yeah. Good feedback. Good feedback for you. It often is.

I've been nailing it. I know what that's like as well. Do you? I feel like you've had a couple of bloody duds of late. Duds and plonkers. Now, Hayley, you've found something online that we'd like to discuss now. A Reddit user? I'm not on Reddit.

A Reddit poster? A Reddit man. A Reddit guy. A Reddit gal. Oh, don't get this wrong. They'll come for you. I know they will. That's why I'm scared. A Redditor.

A Redditor, yeah. That's why they kill themselves. A Redditor. A Redditor. Yeah. Put Redditor. That's why they kill themselves. A Redditor. A Redditor. Yeah. Put it to Reddit. What is the movie that traumatised you so much you could only ever watch it once? And the list that's come out of this, yeah, I agree with a lot of them.

Are they mostly scary and horror movies? They don't have to be, though. They can be upsetting. Haunting. Or haunting. Or there's imagery that stays with you. What was that documentary that made everyone cry? Dear Zachary.

Dear Zachary. Have you ever seen that? Yeah. Or what's the dolphin one? The Cove. The Cove. Oh, my God. I still haven't watched it.

Don't need that in my life. We sat in silence for like 30 minutes afterwards, Aaron and I, just going. The final scene of The Cove. Oh, my God. Or the final five minutes, you're just like, wow. So the story, the film that they chose to kick off this thread, Grave of the Fireflies,

which is a Studio Ghibli film about two kids, it's an animation, anime film, two kids surviving the last days of World War II. Oh, okay, so that'll be sad. It's bleak. And then people piled in and were like, here's the films

that got me going. And here's one of mine, Passion of the Christ. Never seen it. I watched that when I was 13 or 14 years old in the movie theatre and people were leaving.

Someone threw up. We were like weeping. It's so graphic. And I remember I went to a Presbyterian high school and I went up to my religious education teacher afterwards When I went back to school on Monday

And I said I saw Passion of the Christ He's like yeah what did you think? I said it was horrendous You know it was awful I never want to see that again And he said yeah And that's what he did for you

And I was like No the movie I'm not talking about the story of Christ Schindler's List is one that's come up quite a lot. Very sad film. Anything by Lars von Trier. What about that? Schindler's List reminded me of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

Oh, I know. So sad. Lars von Trier, a lot of his films are popping up there. He's dark imagery. Right, okay. Another one of mine is Blair Witch Project. I remember being very scared by that. Scary movies scared me a lot.

I've got way better lately. Yeah, because people say like The Exorcist and stuff, that's a once-only watch. Yeah. Melancholia, which is a Lars von Trier film. Have you seen that? It's the Kirsten Dunst one. She's a depressed new bride, and it's the last day on earth.

Oh. Why did she bother getting married? I don't know. Why is she sad? She's depressed. Because it's the last day on earth. Chuck that aside. You're about to absolutely

what's the last day on earth? I don't know. Party it up. That's true. She sort of darts. She ends up it's her wedding day and then there's just to see

like they finish the thing and she's like I'm just going to go for a walk and then she just shags one of the waiters on the lawn. Wow. And then the world ends. Right. Well, on the back of this, we wanted to take calls this morning and ask you,

what is the movie that has absolutely scarred you for life? The Exorcist, perhaps. That's on here. One movie that you probably couldn't watch again, but even to this day, still every now and again you were like, wow, that ending or that movie. Hereditary. Do you remember that one? Haven't watch again. No. But even to this day, still, every now and again, you were like, wow, that ending or that movie. Hereditary. Do you remember that one? Haven't seen it.

Oh, there's so many. It doesn't have to be scary. The Human Centipede. I've never seen it. Absolutely zero interest in ever watching it. Same. But you've heard about it, right? I've heard about it.

I've watched it. Have you? Out of absolute curiosity when everyone was talking about Human Centipede. I was like, you know what? Whatever. I'll just give it a watch. And do you regret that?

Yeah, I bet. It's terrible. All right. Well, give us a call. 0800DARLS.M. You can text as well, 9696. What is the most traumatic film you've watched that you can only ever see it once? There's a Reddit thread that is sharing the most traumatic films that people have watched and had them saying i'm never gonna watch it again i can only watch it once

The movie that you can only watch once. It's left a lasting memory. Some messages.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The original one. How was that? Not a horror film. That's my favourite film of all time. I reckon as a kid I... When he's going through the tunnel. Yeah, and he starts cribbing. It was a bit scary because I remember as a kid, we've probably watched that movie like

30 times. Gene Wilder, he's just he was just crazy. He just went rogue with it. And Timothy he's going to be the new Willy Wonka, isn't he? He's going to be young Willy Wonka. Young, yeah. In the prequel. Anything's going to be better than Johnny Depp. My God. Harry joins us. Harry, what was the movie

that scarred you for life? Oh, it's got to be Jurassic Park. I have to admit it was one of the scariest damn movies I had ever watched in my life as a five-year-old. Really? Oh, yeah, absolutely. When the lawyer's on the toilet and the T-Rex knocks it over

and then bites him, I remember being pretty freaked out about that. Right. I have to admit, like, my brother, I had two older brothers and they absolutely loved the movie. And they made me watch it over and over again as a kid. And even to this day, I cannot handle dinosaurs. I've just looked at the rating for Jurassic Park. 1993, the movie came out.

PG. Oh, PG. What does that mean? PG, parental guidance. But normally it would say like PG-13 or PG-5. And you're watching someone get chomped up. It's pretty damn scary, right? Yeah, I would have thought this would have been at least a PG-13 or something.

Or an M. An M, yeah. For mature audiences. Yeah, Harry, thanks for your call. We've got Corey. Corey, what was the movie that scarred you for life? Hey, guys. Oh, X-Files Terrifying

The movie or the TV show? The TV show, see I was really little And I don't think I even watched it But I could hear the Soundtrack at the start from my bedroom Do do do do do do Yeah, it was horrible But it was compounded because my sister

Snuck into my room one night and put her cold, like, skinny little fingers, grabbed my foot really strongly. I life flashed before my eyes, and I was sure I was being abducted. Oh, my God. You're right. Yeah, it was terrifying. Have you got the... Oh, yeah.

This is it. This is it. No, it's horrible. This is it. No. It's horrible. Yeah. It was creepy. Sorry to trigger you like that. I think the titles of the X-Files were some of the scariest parts of it. Yes.

Because it was all like aliens moving in shadows and mysterious. Well, I think it was my bedtime, and so that's what I went to bed with. Yeah. Yeah, that'll scar you for life, won't it? That's a haunting tune. Corey, thanks for your call Some more messages in Of movies

You can only really watch once Terrified you The Blair Witch I had to sleep on my sister's floor The night after Because I was so terrified Yeah Chicken Run

What? The movie that subliminally Turned me vegetarian Really? Yeah Stephen King's original It I can't even look at clowns. And that was over two nights.

Yeah. Because it was so long. It was such a long movie. If that was ever on TV when you were young, it was over two nights. Jordan said The Shining. That was, yeah, that's scary. That's a terrifying film. I watched it when I was eight and I had to sleep in my parents' bed for like a week.

Yeah. And then have you ever been to the Chateau Tonguerito? That's got some real Shining vibes to it. Very Shining. It's got its own haunting history. I think it does, yeah. Paranormal activity. It's not like some creepy old 1800s house in the middle of nowhere.

It was literally the suburbs where that all happened. Jeepers Creepers. I was 11 when I watched it. I'm 32 now and I'm still scarred. Wow. I don't know if they mean scared or scarred. Both. It's too scarred and scared. Yeah.'t know if they mean scared or scarred. Both. I'm still scarred and scared.

Yeah. Those ones are pretty good. I like the Jeepers Creepers. That's the scarecrow that comes alive every 27 years and it's got these freaky bat wings. It sort of seems fun and comical to me for some reason, but I'm sure back in the day. Yeah. Take it down with a flamethrower. Hello.

I know. Flamethrower is the obvious choice. Didn't they harpoon gun it at one stage? Yeah. It's not going to do anything To a straw scarecrow You've got to flame it Oh no it's not straw When it comes alive

It just stands up On a scarecrow No it's a monster With bat wings This sounds stupid Oh it's pretty good Never ending story When the horse dies

In the quicksand I'll say Atreyu Atreyu The horse. How did they film that? They actually drowned the horse. Back in the day,

they probably just minused a few horses. Watch at the end. It doesn't have that. No animals were harmed in the making of this movie. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The child snatcher

still shows up in my nightmares. I'm 26. Love that film. Chitty Bang Bang. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I love all those films. It's a weird It starts out about a race car

And then The race car's in the junk heap And then the dad does it up And then they go to the beach And then there's the king of Slavbard Or Bulgaria Are they Nazis? Oh that's Sound of Music

No Sound of Music Is heavy with the Nazis This is a made up kingdom Of adults that hate children Yes that's right And the child catcher Steals all the children

And then Was it a dream in the end? No, surely not. They must be a quiet place. Oh yeah, they fell asleep on the beach. You are the king of Bulgaria. You 100% would have a man catching all the children and then another man who makes toys

making you all the toys and that's another reason you don't like children is they want to play with the toys. They do. You are, you're the toys and that's another reason you don't like children is they want to play with the toys. That is you are. You're the king of all games. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Today's fact of the day is the first pipes 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-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-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-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-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-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-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-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-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- What? Bamboo. The first ever way that ancient China transported natural gas was through bamboo joined together. Because you know those old pipes you have in some old homes is all ceramic, hey? That's what it is? Yeah, like clay. You're talking about field tile pipes. No, like pipes under your house. Yeah. And they used to be ceramic. Yeah.

Yeah. Ceramic pipes. Not ceramic. You're thinking of a ceramic vat, like clay. They're clay. Yeah, And they used to be like ceramic. Yeah. Yeah. Ceramic. Not ceramic. You're thinking of like a ceramic, like clay. They're clay. Yeah, but you're thinking of those orange ones that are like that. They're called field tiles. Yeah, right.

They've never been used for anything other than like they would have, water could be taken away through them. Yeah, they could. And like poopoos and stuff maybe. But not gas. Nothing tight, not gas. And pressurized water could never have come through them. Right.

Drainage ones. And they were called field tiles because they were put in fields to help drainage. Right. What do we get down in terms of taking away? It's fun when you hit them. Oh, boy, oh, boy. Because you hit them and you're like, is this a problem? Yeah.

Has this been unused for 80 years or is this still where my poo-poos comes out? And it is. And you can replace it with plastic. How airtight is bamboo? Pretty airtight. It was just the joins. It was the joins that they had to wax up and gum up, and they weren't pressurizing it, so it was a really slow situation.

But they used bamboo to transport the natural gas, so they didn't know what they had stumbled across. They were drilling for brines. So brines, to the best of my ability, is like a salty water away from the sea. Right. So it's like a natural reserve of salty water that was used inland if you couldn't find a spring. Right. You would find a brine.

You would remove the salt. And that's actually, that helped because they found, it started bubbling and hissing. And they were like, what the hell is this? And it lit on fire, and it didn't, like, explode. It just, as it came out, it stayed on fire, so they stuck a bamboo pipe and transported it and actually used it to boil the water so they could have salt left behind. The water would boil away, and the brine salt would be left behind,

so it was a tooth up. It was a classic tooth up. Crazy. Crazy what we can figure out as humans, isn't it? And then did they put a wok on it? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

Yeah, definitely used for cooking. Definitely used for cooking. Good stuff. So this is another thing that blew my mind. In 1626, a long, long time ago, almost 400 years ago, in fact, natural gas was discovered in the Americas in the very early days of America, before it was known as America.

And it took over 200 years to turn it into gas used for lighting and heating and everything like that. They found it and... This stinks. Ah, well, park that for another day. I don't think it does stink. Doesn't it?

And then they add the smell to it so that you know when there's a gas leak. I've heard this theory before. Yeah, natural gas, liquid, LPG. CNG's compressed natural gas, which is like why it's cold and it hisses, because it's compressed. But natural gas in its natural situation will just slowly leak out. But yeah, no smell. Well, why didn't they add a nice flavor to it?

Like straw? Because you're a banana. Because you'd be like, hmm, nannies. Popcorn. But like gas, nothing smells like gas. So you smell gas, you're like, gas. Gas. Yeah, right.

Can you smell gas? I love when you smell gas. It's a, can you smell gas? Yeah. Yeah, because nobody's going to be reporting. We've got five seconds till we explode. Nobody's going to be reporting a grape flavor, are they, if they walk down the street? Yeah, my whole house is...

Smell grapes. Can you guys smell grapes? It's either there's a delicious vine in season right now or a potentially very large explosion happening. Yeah. So today's fact of the day is the first ever pipes used to transport gas from one place to another were made of bamboo. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

I've decided to branch out into embarrassing dad pickups. Okay. Yeah, I've been doing embarrassing dad stuff here and there. Making up silly, when they've got friends around, asking silly questions. Like, have you cleaned the skid marks off the toilet? That sort of like real good dad stuff. I was about to say, are the girls old enough to be embarrassed? But when you say something like that, it'll embarrass anyone.

So we were on pickups. Shada and I both went. I was in the passenger seat because I did not want to drive. You were drunk. Yeah. For the school pickup. Daddy had been drinking. Yeah.

And so I got out of the pack because we were parked down the road. And you're not supposed to congregate with COVID and stuff. You're not supposed to congregate at the school entrance. Okay. So I just kind of stand down the road. And when they pop out the gate, I wave. And they come down, and we were parked a little way down the road. And when I saw them pop out, I waved, and they waved back.

I thought, well, this feels right. Okay. So with all the parents and children around, I went, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da! Princess Indiana! Oh! Princess August Your royal chariot awaits

Oh my god Was your Okay was your wife embarrassed as well by this She was slunk down in her seat a little bit It's a threefer Yeah yeah Of shame It was a big sweeping threefer

Right And they were just like Immediately when I did it August was like Put her hands over her face and Indy was just she was like, oh my god, but Indy eyeballed me. Yeah. And was like no. And waggled a finger.

Like seriously no. Like August was like, oh my god my dad is so embarrassing. But Indy's like no. She's 10 right? Emancipation. Yeah, no, you can't do that. Yeah, and she's nearly at the age where you're going to have to drop her or pick her up around the corner and not be seen. Oh, yeah.

I thought you were going to say drop her up and pick her up from town. I was like, no, I'll give her some time, yeah. I always hope her laziness outweighs her embarrassment. It was the same as me. I'd be like, mum, drop me off as close to that classroom as you can. Yeah. Drive into it. Drive into

the school grounds. So as they got closer, I thought it hit well the first time. I might give it another heralding. Okay. And there were some other kids around, and their kids were laughing, and I went. Gave it a long trumpeting. Oh, okay. Bit of a different trumpeting.

Okay, yeah. And I announced that we would be Going for ice blocks In a heralding voice I said henceforth Ice blocks will be procured By the king They didn't know what that meant But they heard ice blocks so they thought it was good

But again it was just like what are you doing And then when they got close August took her backpack off and wound it up and threw it at me. And I said, ah, the princess wants me to carry her bag. A true honor. Oh, my God. I'm so embarrassed. I'm embarrassed for everybody. I can't wait to do it all again.

Are you going to do this until you go to university? I was thinking one day I actually turn up in a horse and carriage. Now I don't know where I'm going to get one of those from. You can find a horse out your way. A horse, not a problem. Carriage. What about a wheelbarrow with some rope? Yeah. But don't

waste all this now while they're at primary school. Wait till high school. Oh, are we doing it then too? It's really embarrassing. More elaborately. I was thinking at high school it'll be like a black helicopter and I repel in. And I'm like, it's an extraction.

You've got to come with me. Like your Chris Hemsworth. Yeah, yeah. Nah, see, that would actually be cool. I think that's too cool. You've got a fun dad. I'm like,

your dad just repelled from a helicopter. Yeah. And then the next day I'd come and I'd be a little cocky with my repelling. Yeah. I wouldn't hold onto the rope and I would fall to my death. You a helicopter. Yeah. And then the next day I'd come in, I'd be a little cocky with my rappelling. Yeah. I wouldn't hold onto the rope,

and I would fall to my death. You would hit? Yeah. Oof. And I bet they'd still be like, I don't know who his dad is. Oh my God, I don't know who that guy is. The guy bleeding from the eyes?

Not my dad. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Right, I have a list of the things that give men and women the ick in a relationship. That moment where you've started seeing someone, or maybe you've been seeing them for a little bit, and you're like, I just cannot get past this thing that they do.

Whether it's like a big red flag. I've been learning about the ick. A trait. Yeah, it's the moment that you just go like, oh no, no, I don't want that. Yeah, it changes for you. You're like, I just can't be with this person. Yeah. I mean, I'm not a woman. It changes for you. You're like, I just can't be with this person. Yeah. I mean, I'm not a woman who's been through many breakups.

A couple of young partners, then an absolute sort of cluster of fun for a few years, and then I met Aaron. So this is what men say. We'll go men first before we get into women. This is what men said gave them the most. Number one, personal hygiene, including body odor. Stinks. Lack of washing teeth or a messy house, 29%.

Wait, so you mean, is this a heterosexual or is it just towards any? Well, I'm assuming hetero, yeah. That was followed very closely by 28%, the other person's banter. So they don't like. Bad banter. Bad banter. Terrible, terrible. That also includes like inappropriate jokes or just boring conversation.

That was really close to the personal hygiene. Pretty much neck and neck. What would you prefer, bad breath or bad jokes? You could say something about the breath, couldn't you? I don't know, can you? I wouldn't like either. That could be better deep in the gums. The third worst turn off for men with a woman that gave them the ick are their bad habits, including nose picking and snorting.

Oh, snorting. I snort. 27%. When I laugh? No, I mean, they just mean like a. Like just blow your nose already. Yeah. So those for men are pretty much like evenly split. A third for each of No. Yeah. So those for men pretty much like evenly split.

A third for each of those. Okay. So it's not like one clear definitive definitive ick for men. But for women the things popped up

were very similar to their bad habits. Forty three percent. Like what? Not looking after themselves? Again, yeah. Body odor. Maybe not

cleaning your undies enough. Terrible with money. Ooh, ooh. Yeah, I'm off. That's the ick. Their banter was next on the list, 41%. Yeah, we can't have crap chat. No.

And then personal hygiene after that. So you've got to smell good, you've got to talk good. Yeah, so for men, it's more personal hygiene first. For women, that was way down the list. Yeah, because we know we can take a stinky boy and turn him into an absolute. Get him washing. Yeah, get him showering. take a stinky boy and turn him into an absolute. Get him washing. Yeah, get him showering. Male respondents were more likely to power through an ick.

34% compared to women at 24%. Power through an ick? Yeah. So just be like, oh, I don't like it. I just can't imagine powering through an ick. No, if you don't like it, you just end it, right? Because now you're getting past it. You've got a little bit of work.

You know, you don't run at the first sign of difference do you yes yes you've yet to find anything with chardae that you don't like nothing that i would describe as an ick trying to think the same about aaron i don't think i've got an ick yeah because if you did you would have no it would have ground me down stuff that makes you go like, that's annoying. Yeah. But no, like. It drip. Because the drip, if the drip will get through a stone, you know, the power of water. Just if it's consistent enough, that little ick, that little drip, it'll get through you.
