She's got some mail, although the mail is alcohol based and she's not supposed to be drinking a lot. I might have to. No. Do you know, like, that's the thing that pisses me off is when I had COVID, I ate really healthy. I didn't drink at all. And I'm still fucked. Whereas I talk to friends and they're like, oh, I just got pissed every night. I got takeaways and I got real pissed and I'm like, and nothing's wrong with that.

it's a race against time because you think one of your cows could be pregs. Well, if she is pregnant, Hermione, it will be a month away. Just over a month away because it was the 29th of September sort of due date. I have recently been taking some pervy photos of my cow's teats.

They know it's coming. Yeah, I know we do this at the start of the podcast. I know it's coming. Yeah, I know we do this at the start of the podcast, but sometimes I feel like there's no bridge to the show, you see. It doesn't need it. The people know. And ladies and gentlemen, you asked for it, so here I am to give it to you, today's podcast. They didn't ask for it.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I take your order? No. Oh, a podcast. I can whip those up for you. Would you like the podcast to come out all at the same time or as it's ready? We do things a bit differently. We do things a little bit differently. We design our podcasts to be shared.

That's why we're listening To this For a podcast I'm turning your mic off. Here it is. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Thank you, Lee. Good morning.

Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Mine is Hayley, who's got the vid. She's got COVID-19. So finally got the vid. COVID-19. COVID-19, it got her. I don't know if you guys have heard of it. COVID-19.

It's been doing the rounds, has it? I tell you what, she's not on Have You Been Paying Attention tonight. The wonderful Pax Asadi steps up and proves he can just about do anything. He's hosting, isn't he? He hosts. Oh, great stuff. If I can read a teleprompter. It's a hard job.

Yeah. It was last night at Have You Been Paying Attention in a break where I said, give us a go at this as a joke and realised that I'm probably going to need to go back to an optician because I could not read the teleprompter. Could you not? No. But do you, what about like road signs and stuff when you're driving along?

I know what they mean. I know the roads I drive every day, so I know that that's a 60 and that's an 80. Can you read what's on the TV in there, on the wall, in the office? But I know what it says. Yeah, okay. It needs to be something I don't know what it says. Well, this is quite scary. Yeah.

It's like that out there, I can read that billboard that says, listen, live this, I can read that says Auckland on the bottom. It's just fuzzy. It's not as clear as it was. So I don't know if I can get, yeah, I got laser eye surgery in 2007. Yeah. And wow. It's not as clear as it was. Because you got... Yeah, I got laser eye surgery in 2007. Yeah. And I don't know if I can get it again.

I would. I'd save my pennies and go and get it again because it's life-changing. Yeah. And I don't think I'd need glasses full-time. It'd be weird seeing you with glasses again. I know.

I know. I don't even know what style of glasses I'd go for. I think you'd probably go for the... Because everyone's going for the pedo glasses now, aren't they? I'll probably give them a wide berth, I reckon, because I think you've got to be like handsome and young to wear those. Oh, Vaughn, don't say that. Not ironically, but I would actually look like someone on the register, you know?

Right, okay. If I had my big specs on. Right, now, Anna's just got an eye test here. Oh, yeah, okay. Stand right away. Stand right on the wall, I reckon. No, no, no, no, no. You're never that far away. I can read big specs on. Right, now, Anna's just got an eye test here. Oh, yeah, okay. Stand right away. Stand right on the wall, I reckon. No, no, no, no, no. You're never that far away.

I can read those. F, C, B, P. No chance. Are you kidding? That's a D. No, yeah, but you can see a D from a model, Anna. Okay, you're not wrong. Okay, what about the, yeah, what's that?

Wait, you're moving your pen. Which one? The bottom one. So I'll tell you what I can read. P-T-O-B-Z-F-E-D-O-F-C-L-T. This should not be hard. Is it a T? And the last one might be an H.

Oh, my God, that's a B. Are you kidding me? I could have literally gone O, F, C, L, T. What about the next line? I can't read the last line. That's two. No one can read the last line. I was talking about the one under O, F, C, L.

Yeah, T, E, P, O, L, F, T, Z? No. F. No, which one? You mean that one? L. Yeah, D. Z. Can you not read any, Z? No. F. No, which one? You mean that one? L. Yeah, D. Z.

Can you not read any of those? No. Oh, my God. Okay, you need to go to... That's not what you need, eh? No, that's not what I wanted. Because I think when I got laser, they said, oh, because we've lasered your long vision.

Long vision? Farsight. Yeah. You might need them for reading. Right. Long vision? Farsight. Yeah. You might need them for reading. Right. But I can still read. Because most... It's clear as well.

Most people, when they get older, need reading glasses, don't they? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's... You go one way or the other, or both. Right. But how I kind of, like, thought this first popped up, I was looking through a gun scope.

Oh, yeah. On my slug gun, which has a scope on it, and everything was really clear. And I was like, put it down, and I was like, oh. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Right, okay.

So I think that was a real, yeah. Wow, all right. We'll add that to the to-do list. To-do list, yeah. Whoopsie-daisy. On the show today, we've got more cash to give away with HBO's House of the Dragon. Eight o'clock, I'll be listing out then.

They've just got to dodge our fire-breathing dragons to win the cash. The top six is coming up on the show. The Lying Down Championships have taken place overseas. Yeah. Some guy just laid down for ages and won some money. Well, five days worn. Yeah. But not enough, like for lying down for five days, I'll

tell you what he won for a prize, but I'd expect it to be more. Yeah, I same. Rather than he didn't do anything, but he did give up five days. Yeah. So that's coming up in the top six. Yeah, the top six other championships I reckon I could give a go. Right. The lying down championships is one of them. Also coming up on the show, a flight attendant has given her top tips.

After years of being a flight attendant, the do's and don'ts. One of these in particular I was like, what? No. We'll run through the list. No. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Every time you talk lately, it turns on my Siri.

What? Every time.ley. Every time you talk lately, it turns on my Siri. What? Every time. What? Every time. Well, I'm not saying, hey Siri. I don't know what you're saying at the end of a song. I'm just saying, well, just then I said it's Harry Styles late night talking. No, it was before that because it picked up Harry Styles.

I said ZM. I think it might be like something when you say ZM. Right. That doesn't sound like, hey Siri, does it? Stop it. Stop it. Look, it just did it again. I know, it's because you said Hey Siri.

Yeah. Dudes, the Pumas are in town to play the All Blacks this weekend. I never know when an All Blacks game is happening until it's happening. This is famously. I'll watch the haka and then I'll have a bath. You'll have a, and that's it. It's tradition, baby. It's tradition.

So I know ahead of time, though, though that the pumas are in town these beautiful big south american boys because they've just become my favorite rugby team right because they're in christchurch first game uh for the all blacks in christchurch since 2016 six long years yeah apparently they have ordered a lot of beer in for the stand to the stadium i read a stat they're ready to go. Fantastic news. Well, the Argentinian lads went down to Valentina Marquez. And, no, sorry, that's the restaurant coordinator. Excuse me.

They went to El Quinto. Yeah, right. Where you would talk to restaurant manager Valentina Marquez. Right. Where you would talk to restaurant manager Valentina Marquez. Right. And she or he. Yeah. Valentina feminine. I don't know.

Valentina feminine. I don't know. I've got to find out more because this is my favourite rugby team now. For lunch. Yep. On Thursday. Yep. And they ate 170 kgs

of meat. Oh my god. That is a lot. How many was there? I don't know. They just said it was... So you'd have the team, the players, the subs, the coaching staff.

Even if it was 30 people. How many kgs of meat each is that? Let me pull up my little note. 170 divided by how many people were you interested in the CDT? 30 people. That's 5.6 kgs of meat each. That is a lot. A lot.

What's a steak normally? A kg? If you've got a big tomahawk steak, so that's like a big yabba-dabba-doo Fred Flintstone thing, including bone. Yeah. Like a KG's a massive steak. You get a rump steak that's a KG, but rump steak's not. So even if there was 40 of them, that's still going to be a lot of meat.

170 divided by 40 is 4.25, which is, again, a phenomenal amount of meat. They said a whole lamb, they put on this feast, a whole lamb, which weighed 25 to 30 kilograms. Yeah. We had 60 to 70 chorizo sausages, which are big. We had 50 kgs of beef

and 20 kgs of chicken and pork, and they demolished the entire thing. The whole, they had all of that. Yeah. Yeah, the whole place is screwed, eh? They've got this way Of barbecuing Over there too

It's a sado It's an sado cross And I've been thinking About getting one of these Made for a long time And you light a fire On the ground Right

And you jam the sado cross Into the ground And it's like a metal Cross basically Yeah With a tilt in it And then you tilt it Towards the fire

With like a splayed Pig or lamb On it Right Like yeah lamb Or a splayed pig or lamb on it. Right. Like a lamb or a suckling pig's perfect size for it. And they're across, and then you just like, when you're done, you pick it up, turn it around, slam it back in, and lean it towards the fire the other way.

That sounds like a lot of... And you're constantly like basting it and slopping it. The fat's dripping off it, and you collect the fat underneath, and you slop it back on. Too much messing around. You just get a pack of sizzlers. They're done in two minutes. You shut your mouth.

And you're ready to go. Bit of garlic bread and some salads. Perfect barbecue. What I want to know is where they're staying because they're going to need some plumbers on hand. Yes. Because that meat's got to come out. That meat's got to come out. And there's no mention of veg in this at all.

No mention of any fibre or any green leafy roughage to get it through there. Well, it sounds like the Argentinians are fuelling up for this weekend's clash. Two things. Go the Argentinians. Go the Pumas, the mighty Pumas. It's very traitorous speak. I don't care. And next time we're in Christchurch, we've got to go to this barbecue restaurant.

Those are my two takeaways here. How many kgs do you think you'll eat? I could not do four and a half. If I was in a massive group, I think I'd be like encouraged by other people gorging themselves. Yeah, but that's a lot of meat. I'd love to eat with the Pumas. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

As well, a flight attendant from Hawaii who spent years in the air. Her name is Kat. Has gone viral on TikTok after she's released some top tips, some do's and don'ts when flying. Oh, yes. So I'm imagining what's the flight from Hawaii to even LA is about four or five hours. So most of her tips are for kind of mid to long haul flights. Okay. So those flights where you're going to be in the air for

quite some time. She's released ten of them. It's the top one or two that I find the most interesting. Yeah. There's one in particular that I'm like a big part? Yeah. So number ten, don't tell seat buddies details. Why? Because they could like scam you or something? Oh my gosh.

I mean just don't even talk to people next to you. Yeah, I'm not a huge fan. Give them a pleasant hello and then headphones on. Oh no. Or I'm sitting there. Yeah. I'm sitting there. She says always pack your toothpaste, of course.

Always obey your flight attendant. I mean, yes. Bring a face washer. Of course she's going to say that. Some face wipes. Always bring plenty of snacks. Always look up airports nearby. Is that to find a cheaper flight maybe?

I don't know. Always bring a change of clothes. I mean, especially now with airlines. Or the airline loses your bag. With luggage to waiters at the moment. Always bring a change of clothes. Always bring a blanket. And number one and two on the list.

Never drink the hot water. And always wear shoes on a plane. Always wear something on your feet on a plane, I get it. Especially when you go to the toilet. They never run a rug doctor up. Oh, no. Not after each flight. They're not cleaning that, are they?

No. They'll give it a vacuum. Yeah, yeah. That doesn't get the gooey stuff. Like on a long-haul flight, you go to use the bathroom, and there's little dots of wet on the floor, and you're just like, what is that? Is that wheeze?

Is it from the hand washing? It's wheeze. It's wheeze. So don't ever wear socks to the bathroom. That's one of the big ones. But the main one, never drink the hot water. Why? I saw this, and I was like, why? That's one of the big ones But the main one Never drink the hot water Why?

Why? I saw this and I was like Why? So bear in mind She's worked for Obviously she's worked for an American airline I don't know if Our airlines clean our hot water tanks That they, you know

Service coffee out of basically Yeah I don't know if they clean them more But she's saying that they hardly ever clean the hot water tanks on the planes and that they are disgusting. She said the kettles are cleaned in between flights, like, you know, the jug they'll walk up and down the aisle with, but the machine that's, you know, in the wall is hardly ever cleaned.

Neither is the zip. Neither is the bloody zip at work, is it? The zip on the wall of the bloody port-a-com that we go and have a cup of tea at our A-Croc. I guess so the idea is if it's hot water and it's boiling it kills the bugs, right? Yeah. I mean this is

probably also why you never use a kettle in a hotel. That's what I was going to say, but we're reluctant to use a kettle in a hotel but that's full of boiling water the whole time. So she's been backed up a recent news article and a study done by the Hunter College New York City Food Policy Centre at the City University of New York tested the drinkability of airplane water and seven in ten airlines did not have good quality water for drinking. They went on ten flights with ten different airlines and only three of them were decent quality.

Air New Zealand pour you water out of a bottle. Cold water, yes. Yeah, cold water. I'm like, surely there's a better way for in New Zealand where you can drink water out of 92% of the taps. I think it's just a clean thing. And you know people from different regions don't like other people's regions' water? Yeah, you were very

They come to Auckland and they're like, oh I can taste the Waikato River. You're not wrong. Where did I turn my nose up at some water out of the tap recently? Palmy? Palmerston North. Did you know I didn't try, I don't think I tried the water out of the tap. What was wrong with that? No, I thought it was in Auckland somewhere. Dunedin? Was it

Dunedin water? No, I think it's nice. Yeah, no, South Island's genuinely all right. Okay. Yeah. I turned my nose up at it and someone, you know, called me posh. Right. But that's because you've got an Evian water fountain. I do, actually.

My house is on a naturally carbonated water spring. So, gosh, I just get bubbly water the whole time. All right. I'm really spoiled. 621, House of Dragon coming up at 8 o'clock thanks to HBO. Your chance to win some cash. Next on the show, well, well, well, woman. You've got some explaining to do.

I notice that our two female producers have left the room for this. Yeah, well, because they're riddled with guilt. That's why. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Let's talk about sex, baby. Let's talk about you and me. Let's talk about the difference between men and women

when it comes to cheating. Okay. Long has it been said, men will be first to wander. Yeah. If you were to sort of generalize, men are the cheaters. Well.

Well, well, well, well, well. Suck it. Women are just as likely to. Right. An anthropologist. An anthropologist. Anthropologist. Yeah.

And an author released a book called Untrue, and that is where she looks into the difference between male and female libidos. Right. So female author. Female author. Yes, yes. Correct. Sociologists were interviewed. author, yes, yes, correct. Sociologists were interviewed,

dozens of them, sex researchers, anthropologists, the people that study sort of human behaviour and human history. And found that men experience high levels of spontaneous desire. Men, they describe this as, you know, when you're like, man, I'm hungry. That's what

men are like. Oh, man, I'm in the mood for it. Yeah, they're horndogs. Yeah, just washed over them. Oh, I could do with a drink. I could do with sex. Just like that. Yeah. Whereas women have a more responsive or triggered desire.

So they're reading something or they're watching something or it is initiated with them and it's like a choo-choo train getting up to speed, you know? I like the idea of this. Right. Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, choo-choo, let's go. Like that sort of thing. Whereas men are immediately like, rooom, like a fighter jet. That's how it goes.

Yeah. But desire in women's libidos are every bit as strong as men. Now, men are more likely to wander when they see something they want. That's how it goes. Yeah. But desire in women's libidos are every bit as strong as men. Now, men are more likely to wander when they see something they want. Again. So basic. Fighter jets. So basic. Fighter jets, very basic.

Yeah. Women are more likely to wander when they are, like, intrigued about the possibility of this person being a better partner than their current. Right. Women are also more likely to cheat when they've been in a sexless or orgasm-less. Orgasm? Orgasm-less. Organism-less. Orgasm-less.

Orgasm-less. Orgasm-less. Yep. A no-orgasm relationship marriage. Yeah. Okay. And they think, you know, that that's the norm. Yeah, right.

And they're like, well, actually, maybe I can get it and it's again that build up process. They're going to be really upset when that guy zooms in and then zooms away. Like a fighter jet just carpet bombing a sort of a village. Yeah. Gone. Yeah. So yeah they

said that the sexual desires you know women have got it. Yeah. It can be dampened, but it's always there. Right. For the re-ignition. Right.

So I feel we're owed an apology, really. I feel like we're owed an apology too. Because men are always. Hollywood needs to apologise to men. For saying we're like the cheaters. Always portraying us as the cheaters in the movies. Is there anything you'd like to apologise for? Not one bit.

What about that thing you said about quiet quitting before? Vaughn Allen. Your mic's not working. Hello. There you go. Hello. How's that? That thing about quiet quitting, no further comment on that?

I mean, this was off air. You've not missed anything if you've just joined. But I thought it was very funny. If you'd like to repeat it now for the nation. I would prefer not to. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity and the platform. I really appreciate it. You know, that's what I'm here for. I'm an ally for the female voice.

Give me strength. An ally would go and get me some breakfast and a coffee, I reckon. You're a confusing assistant with ally. Well, I'm not an assistant. You could be. I'm certainly not an assistant. There you go. All right.

Woman, we're all pieces of shit. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. From the panoramic ZM think tank, this is the top six. 560 New Zealand dollars is what Zarko Pinojanovic won as the winner of the 12th edition of the Lying Down competition. Lying Down Championships, he remained there for 60 hours. 24 times 2 is 48.

Where did this happen? 12 more. So, Montenegro. Okay. Yeah. Which, I've looked up whereabouts it is, because it keeps saying Bresna, and there's Bresnas all around the place,

but they're all in the old Soviet situation. Yeah, okay. Yeah, Slovenia's, Czech Republic's. It looks like a beautiful place to visit. Yeah, it looks lovely. But I think this is in Montenegro, and it's there he won, as I said, dollars, but also a lunch for two at a restaurant, a weekend stay at the ethnic village Montenegro,

and a rafting experience. It doesn't sound like a lot of money, does it? No, for lying down for two and a half days. Yeah. Yeah. He must have just had nothing else to do, but even what a waste of a holiday if he was on holiday. Yeah.

But anyway, he laid down and he won that stuff. He's the winner. But if there's a lying down championships, these top six other championships I could probably compete in. Number six on the list, the electric beater licking championship. Oh yeah. I always claim that beater. Yeah.

Well they say you shouldn't because it's got raw egg, but like I haven't died yet. No, me neither. You know, I've licked a lot of beaters in my time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Biscuit, cake, batter, all kinds. Well snakes eat raw eggs all the time and they're quite ferocious. Yeah, quite, yeah. Yeah. Biscuit, cake, batter. All kinds. Or snakes eat raw eggs all the time. They're quite ferocious. Yeah.

Quite ferocious. Number five on the list of the top six other championships I could probably compete in. The not looking very well for something because somebody else finds it right in front of my face championship. You'd need your wife for this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the you would win because you were looking for ages, but then they find it straight away.

So it would be the distance between how long they took to find it and how long you took to find it. The bigger the gap, the better. Okay. And you win. Number four on the list are the top six other championships I could probably compete in. The just kind of blindly backing your car

until you just feel it nudge something championship. I mean, that's dangerous, isn't it? Just go real slow, and then you feel a little bit of resistance, and that's when you stop. Right. A trolley and a cup. Dong, dang.

Yeah, maybe there's a little bit of noise, a little cup. Boom. And then you're like, that's where I stop. Away I go. Does your new Jiminy have the beeps? No. No, no. It doesn't have a backing camera either.

I've really got to get a tow bar, or as I call it, a back nudge. Just protect the tow bar there. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six other championships I would probably be able to compete in. The dozing off while trying to watch something championship.

Just on the couch there. Just trying to watch something. The eyes get a bit heavy. And then you're like, whoa, wake up. And you're like, how much of this show have I missed? And who's the winner?

The one that is awake at the end? The one that can tell you the least about the show. Oh, yeah. winner? The one that is awake at the end? The one that can tell you the least about the show. Oh yeah. Great. The one that had the best intentions to watch the show but fell asleep the quickest. That's horrible when it's actually a show you love. I know. And that you've got to pay attention to. Just pause it. Yeah. Come back

to it at a different time. You'll regret it. Number two on the list of the top six other championships I could probably compete in. The finishing the kids meal when you're out for dinner championship. That's what dads do when, you know, they're paying for a bloody meal

and these kids have hardly touched it. They just ate the nuggets. They haven't eaten anything else. God, leave them at home. Next time? Yeah, if it's a nice restaurant. Just leave them at home and they'll look after themselves.

If it's a pub meal where you don't want to have to order chips but you want to eat chips at the end. Yep. Then it's fine. Take them with. Take them with. That's a great little loophole.

And number one on the list are the top six other championships I could probably compete in, the scooting through a shutting door without touching it championship. Oh, yeah. You know when you see a door open, you're like, I'm going to go. And you go quick, and then you go sideways MacGyver through there. It's a good feeling. Yeah, it's a great feeling to get through there. Not a good feeling when the handle touches the tum.

I'll say that. Or you're out. You're out touches the tum. I'll say that. Or you're out. When the handle touches the tum or your plump dump at the back there scrapes through on the door, you know about it. You feel that. That's today's Top Soaks. Well, there's Newtown Road of Australia, and I'd say we'd be, you know, seeing as they're our neighbours,

our cousins, we'd be very similar know, seeing as they're our neighbours, our cousins, we'd be very similar. Half of them are us. Actually, fair call, sure. I mean, there'd probably be some Kiwis in the study numbers. More Australians are telling white lies to get out of social events or to avoid family time since the pandemic. And you're a big fan of this, aren't you?

Huge advocate. Oh, the girls are sick you're a big fan of this, aren't you? Huge advocate. Oh, the girls are sick. Huge advocate. Both of them. Yeah, no, they've both come down with something. Right. And you'll get out. You love getting out of an event.

Oh, baby. It's me. It's your go-to. It's my good stuff. So since the pandemic, people are telling more white lies, but people are being more authentic on social media and at work. So research was done like now, but also before the pandemic, and it's changed quite a lot.

So in 2018, 49% of people misrepresented their lives on social media, but that's now fallen to 11%. So I don't know if it's more like people are getting to be real, people are not editing photos. Right. They're just dumping photos as opposed to like putting up one. Yep. Although I feel those photo dumps,

they're always like drink that you had that you liked, maybe like a weird place you were, hot photo of you. Yeah. Oh, you've still got to put a hot photo of yourself. Yeah, you go weird photo, weird photo, hot photo, weird photo, blurry photo of you,

hot photo of you that was taken straight after the blurry photo of you and the last one absolutely not related to anything. To any other photo in the dump. So also in this study, 52% of people regularly lie to their employers in 2018.

Now that's 28%. I don't know, what were they lying to them about? Like sick days and stuff. I guess it's easy to get a sick day now, right? Yeah, yeah. No one questions you at all. 19% in 2018 said they would stay in an unhappy relationship to avoid being alone.

That's a drop from 27% four years ago. Life's too short. Yeah, so since the pandemic, we're, you know, we're life's too short. We've got a bit too much, a bit more life's too short. Yeah. But we're lying more to get out of events. Yeah.

Or life's too short to go to events you don't want to go to. But you want to be, you know get out of events. Yeah. Or life's too short to go to events you don't want to go to. But you want to be nice about it. Yeah. So you tell a little lie lie. It's a little tiny lie. Yeah, a little lie lie. Coming up on the show, 8 o'clock this morning,

we'll give away some cash with HBO's House of the Dragon streaming on Neon. But also it's Friday Flashback. And Hayley is away with COVID. It was her pick for Friday Flashback. Yes. So what are we doing about this? We are passing the baton to the producer's booth. Oh, no.

It'll be Smash Mouth. I think we've exhausted all of our Smash Mouth from previous producer booth picks. Okay, so they've got the big job today of Friday Flashback. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. big job today. Yep. A Friday flashback. If you've got a 17 year old in the house and you're like trying to get them out of bed, maybe 7 o'clock's wake up time but they're lingering. Yep. And you're about to go in and rip off the sheets and

get a glass of water over them. Get out of bed you lazy son of a gun. You can scream this at them. A 17 year old just flew solo around the world in a small aircraft, and they're the youngest to do so, and have multiple Guinness World Records as a result, and you can't get out of bed by 10 past 7 on a Friday?

You're a loser. You're a loser. Maybe don't call your kids a loser. That stuff sticks. Nah, tell them they're a loser. Nah, that stuff sticks. It's a motivator. It's not really.

It's a motivator. It's not anymore. It'll break them. It is if you've been slowly warming them up to this day, but you can't just drop in from being a casual parent to a loser like that. If it sticks with them, that'll really ruin them. This kid, Mac, he is a Belgian, and he flew around the world solo. It was supposed to take three months, but it took five.

Loser. Nah. He was delayed by things like extreme heat, some monsoon rains, sandstorms, etc. But when you're flying a tiny plane, you don't want to be flying them through monsoon and... And this is a tiny plane. I've never known

this, but you always talk about microlights. Yeah. And I always just figured it was the type of craft. It's when a craft weighs under a certain amount. Oh, right. When it's really light. It means it's so light, it's considered a microlight. God, you'd be really flying around.

You'd be absolutely hammered up there. Yeah. Flying around the world, getting smashed. You'd have to be used to some turbulence. And it's not, I mean, it's fast. It's 300 kilometres an hour. It's cruising speed. But when you think the average plane that you go on anywhere goes way faster than that.

Yeah. Also, usually a two-seater, but it was a one-seater because it had an extra fuel tank in it so he could fly it around. He took off from Belgium. He went through Africa, the Gulf region of India, China, South Korea, Japan. He crossed the northern Pacific and landed after 10 hours of flight on a volcanic island near the Bering Strait. So that's up by Alaska. Then he headed Alaska down the west coast

of the United States to Mexico. He headed north across the US to Canada and then across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe. And then back home. 17. He turned 17 during the flight. When he started, he was 16. He qualified to become a pilot at 15.

Now, the reason we're talking about siblings, his sister did the same thing, but she was a little bit older when she did it. She did it when she was, she turned 19 on the flight. Did she break any records doing that, or was she? She, I believe, was the youngest, and he stole her record. Oh, yes, I love that. Yeah, family of aviators because I mean

who can afford to do this and who is so casual with their kids just like, you want to know where your kids are all the time. I know like you might get like a you be home by 11 or you be home by 1. You've got to turn on your location so I can see exactly where you are at all times. Oh, he's trying to land on a

volcanic island in the Bering Sea. One of the world's most treacherous areas. At least we know where he is. And he's not kissing girls. Yeah. That's adventurous, isn't it? So adventurous. But yeah, he was apparently egged on by the fact his sister had done it

and he wanted to do it. I love that. And she seems okay with it. Whereas if that was my family, I would have landed and my brother would have punched me in the face. I'd be planning the next thing to one-up my brother. Yes. And I'd be setting a record he couldn't beat.

And if I died in the Bering Strait when I missed that runway, I'd just do it. That's when you were ditching him to the ocean because you pushed it a little bit too far. You were like, well, I hope he feels bad. Yeah, it was worth it. He made me do this. Yeah.

We'd like to know this morning how competitive it is with your siblings. Yeah. Maybe you did something, so they did it, or they did something and it egged you on to do something. It doesn't even need to be like, you know, like big world record feats. It could be things like, you know, like people one up with presents. Like it might be mum's birthday. So one sibling's like, I've got them this

and the other sibling's like, well, I'm going to spend more. Yeah. I mean, if you're a mum, By that time, I took my mum to Fiji for her 60th. I don't want to bring that up. You don't want to bring that up.

It's nearly five years ago. I don't want to bring that up. Yeah, right. I mean, I haven't seen a present come close to be honest. Right. Did you say something to your sister and brother

when you took her to Fiji? I don't know. I think the trip said enough. Right, okay. You didn't need to rub it in there. I think the smile on her face said more than enough, you know. And the fact that at Christmas you were like, what's your favourite holiday, Mum? Yeah.

In the last year. Well, it turned her mind around about Fiji. She wasn't a fan. She wasn't a fan. She went to Fiji in like 1977 and got very sick. Right. So she was not anti-Fiji, but she didn't want to go back. But I was like, look, let me show you Fiji.

And now she loves Fiji. So that's, I mean, again, again. Favorite son. Favorite son. Right. So 0800 DARS at him. We want to take some calls this morning. And you can text as well, 9696.

Are you super competitive with your siblings and what's it led to? Yeah. Maybe you took your mum to Fiji for her 60th and they haven't done anything decent. Okay, you're really using that one, aren't you? Yeah. Or maybe they gave her more grandkids,

but at the same time, that's going to cost her more in the long run. I want her to think about that seriously. Maybe you flew around the world to beat your sister's solo flight record. Maybe. Maybe. 0800DARLS.M, give us a call.

We're talking about how competitive it gets with your siblings. A 17-year-old has flown around the world solo. And you might think that's amazing. His sister did it before him,

but she was a little bit older when she did it. Shame. Shame. He wins. Who wins here? He's younger. First to the market

or the younger? I thought it was an older sibling. I mean, it would have been all about the older sibling's claim to do it first and then the other one was just a copycat. You'd be proud as parents though, wouldn't you? You've got two kids that are flying.

I'd be bloody worried. Yeah. I'd be bloody worried. Some text messages in on how competitive it gets between siblings. My brother became a nurse. Everybody fawned over him so much for his idea of being such a wonderful person. I decided the only thing to do would be to become a doctor. Take that.

Oh, my God. Probably not the best reason to become a doctor. I think you've really got to have it in you to become a doctor. Or a nurse. I think you want to help people. You don't want to one-up your brother. Nah. Or your sister.

Nah. Somebody said there was a set of boy-girl twins at a school that had been joint ducks for the past two years. They had to flip a coin to see who was going to get the scholarship because they were both so amazing. Oh, no. That's good genes. Yeah.

My brothers bought my parents a $400 DVD player for Christmas. Really set a bar. Okay. The following year, I made them a set of fancy Gothic-style iron gates. Comparable? DVD player to iron gates gothic-style iron gates. Comparable? DVD player to iron gates? Gothic-style iron gates? I mean, gothic-style iron gates would cost more than $400

if you were commissioning them, wouldn't they? Oh, yeah, but they made them, so I assume they made them themselves. Maybe they were a welder of sorts. Somebody said, My sister was a judge. Ooh la la. Worked her way up to was a judge Ooh la la Hello Worked her way up to being a judge

I decided the only honourable thing would be to become a doctor Is it great? Okay This is crazy Okay, so my brother and I are very competitive We're not super close in age So there was one year at high school Where we were going to be in the cross country, the same race in the cross country. Oh, okay.

Very competitive. We always won our cross country, but we were never in the same category. One entire year of all of our schooling, we were. Well, it got very competitive. There was shoving. There was pushing. Oh, brilliant. There was fighting.

It was chaos. Mum was at the finish line, and we, there was pushing. Oh, brilliant. There was fighting. It was chaos. Mum was at the finish line and we thought she was cheering for us, but she was screaming at us to grow up and leave our brothers alone. My brother's a funeral director. Okay. I became a paramedic to try to undercut his business.

I'll show you. I'll save the very people you wish to bury, brother. You're not dying today. My brother's not making money off you. Yeah. My sister's a teacher at a school and I'm a teacher, so I applied for a job at that school and I now have a job there and I'm her boss.

You piece of shit. You are. That is mean. Just a lot of obviousness. That's so mean. Can you do this for me? Yeah. Teacher's aid. Could we do this for me? Yeah. Teacher's aid.

Could we please have a word? Yeah. There'd be fisticuffs in the staff room. Absolutely for sure. I got my head out this sunroof. I'm blasting off favorite tunes. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM.

It's the final rankings. Well, it's a Friday tradition. We normally take an item or a thing. It's normally food and we will rank it and debate the best. Today, we will be ranking the best correspondent. TVNZ foreign correspondent position. Yes. So, because Daniel Faitawa, the European correspondent. TVNZ foreign correspondent position. Yes. So, because Daniel Feitawa, the European correspondent,

he's finishing up after, what, two years? Yeah, that seems to be about how long European correspondents last, though, right? Yeah. Is it a visa thing? I mean, he'd probably be able to get a high school work, I think. Yeah. But, I mean, that's probably, like, you know, I mean, he's been covering the Ukraine war for the last six months.

That'd be devastating enough. That dude looks so good in a coat. He does look good in a warm coat. He looks, I've messaged him. I'm like,

you look great in a warm coat. Brother, you look amazing in a coat. Yeah. He told me where a couple of his coats are from. I don't, I don't have the whole

set up to pull it off. I don't have the rig. I don't have the framing. I don't have the scaffold. You've also, your life would be constantly on the go. Like you could have the weekend setup to pull it off. I don't have the rig. I don't have the framing. I don't have the scaffolding. You've also, your life would be constantly on the go. Like, you could have the weekend off, and all of a sudden there's a terror attack. Yeah, so you're off to it.

So you're on a flight. You're going. You're gone. Yeah, you could be in Italy covering something, and then you decide to have a few too many wines, and then all of a sudden they're like, we need you in 15 minutes. That would be me. I'd be too pissed, and they'd be like, we need you on the other side of Europe and I'd be like,

yeah, tomorrow. Oh my God. And then you're doing it before you know it, you're doing a cross to Simon Dallow, you're slurring your words

because you had too many sangrias and that's the end of your foreign correspondent job. So I'm looking at a list of One News reporters and it's got like

the correspondents in their different areas and it's fun to say their names. Oh yeah, okay. Lisa Davies, One News reporters and it's got like the correspondents in their different areas and it's fun to say their names. Oh yeah, okay. Lisa Davies, One News. What, is she the American? She's Christchurch.

Oh, is she? No, I've got all the regionals that are in here. No, don't do the regionals. Jared McCulloch, Otago. No, we're not doing... One News.

Oh no, we're not doing regionals. Drop the regionals. Tell me all the foreign ones. Okay, Australia correspondent, Andrew McFarlane. Yes. Pacific correspondent, Barbara Drever Andrew McFarlane. Yes. Pacific correspondent, Barbara Drever. She's been doing it forever.

You'd never wrestle that off of her. I don't think you're going to get that portfolio off the Dreves. They used to say her at the Te Atatu supermarket. She's got the contacts all over the pack. She had to sit down with Frank Bonamana-Rama. Yeah, well, she knows everyone. She knows everybody. You're never going to get that cushy number.

No, no, no, not off the drivester. Daniel Foytower leaving the European Correspondency. I believe May Heron? Okay, right. Is that who's taking the spot there? And US correspondent, Atta Burns Francis. Okay, so let's rank our favourite. I think, for me, it's got to be European would be number one.

Followed by America. Followed number one. Followed by America. Followed by Pacific. Followed by Australia. Australia? I wouldn't do Australia. I mean, it's just... Australia's not that exciting. It's, you know, it's like here.

Are we thinking what it would be like in our current circumstance? Because I've got a family. So I don't think I would... You couldn't do this job. Uproot them and move them all to Europe. But, okay, imagine you're in your 20s, early 30s without a family. Am I single? Yes.

Europe. Tell me more. Okay, you were very quick to... Okay, you know you're going to work. You're not there on a Kentucky. Do I cover the Mediterranean? You do cover all of Europe. Do I cover Northern Africa?

No, you just... How far into the... You don't touch Africa. How far into Asia do I correspond? No, because that's an Asian correspondent. Do they need an Asian correspondent? I don't think we have one. So...

Because you've got to remember that your job as a journalist, you want the juicy stories, you want the big events. You want to be going to big events. Yeah, but you're on the precipice of, like, World War 3. Yeah. Now. Has Daniel been sent to Ukraine? Yeah, he was on the border of Poland and Ukraine when it happened, yeah.

And I remember he's seen some horrible things. Holy cow. That kind of stuff would stay with you. What was Mike McRoberts doing when he was always in a bulletproof jacket? Um, he was just down the road in Ponsonby. They made it look like Afghanistan. Right.

No, he did travel to some war zones. Yeah, he did. He covered war zone correspondence. I'm not interested in that. I personally, for me, it's got to be Pacific Correspondent. Okay, but you're imagining the Pacific Correspondent

as a beachcomber. You're telling me Barbara Dreamer doesn't hit a couple of Mai Tais when she's in Fiji covering a military coup? I just think the stories wouldn't be as good. It's either a tropical cyclone or a military coup. Political unrest. And that's all it is. Or some people missing a flight.

That's all it ever is. That's all right. I don't like too much drama. It's boring, boring, boring stuff. I like a dependable temperature. I don't like too much drama. Boring, boring, boring stuff. I like the dependable temperature. I love the people of the Pacific. I'm a huge advocate. In fact, I'd almost go Australian correspondent over Pacific.

I think Pacific always looks like he's having a good time. That guy's had COVID five times. You can't tell me. He's having a good time. He's not having a bit of side party. So I'm going to redo my list. I'm going to go European, American, Pacific. No, sorry, Australian and then Pacific.

Because having a think about it, Pacific would be boring. It would be beautiful, but you're not there to holiday. You're there to work. I'm there to holiday. I think we've got different ideas of what we're corresponding here. I would go Pacific, European. You'd go Pacific over anything else. Hey, I'm close to home.

Barbara still shops at a West Auckland supermarket. I could live the best of both worlds. Oh, no. So I'd go Pacific, European, probably. Yep. And then between Australia and US, I don't know. US seems dangerous. Because, you know, you're going to the capital riots.

Oh, yeah, yeah. And then Australia just seems boring. It's just a big, hot, dry, racist New Zealand. And snakes. And so many snakes. So many snakes. Okay, well, so really we're not agreeing on anything here. We're split.

I feel if Hayley was here, she'd be with me on the European. She'd be European. She'd absolutely be. Okay, so let's... European would win. European would win. Yeah. Because it was the highest.

It was my second. Yeah. Let me read you an Instagram post from Club 77 in Sydney. I don't know anything about Club 77. Okay, well, you're a big... Huge... Man, you know me. I love the clubs. You love the clubs. I don't know anything about Club 77. Okay, well, you're a big night. Huge. Man, you know me. I love the clubs.

You love the clubs. I love the clubs. Dance, explore, connect, manifest. In fact, when we went out. Manifest. When we went out after the Wiggles, our 15 show on Saturday night, is that the first time you've been at a club or bar? I couldn't even tell you the last time before that.

That late at night? That was very chill. Yeah, yeah. And it was outside and it was last time before that. That late at night? That was very chill. Yeah, yeah. And it was outside and it was seated. Seated. Seated. Seated. So I'm just even getting a little bit anxious and nervous

thinking about that many people in one place. It was seated. It was outside. It was not too loud. It was good. Good people. Just had the time of my life at the Wiggles. I'd had a handful of anti-anxiety medication beforehand. So you were great. I'm having the time of my life at the Wiggles. I'd had a handful of anti-anxiety medication beforehand.

So you were great. I'm having the time of my life out here. Dance, explore, connect, manifest. Manifest. Well, this Sydney bar has posted about a new rule. Thanks to the support of our community and our amazing patrons, Club 77 has been busier than ever. Unfortunately, this has also attracted some people

who do not share our values and ethics when it comes to club culture, consent and harassment. In response to this, and I think, reading it thus far, on point. Yeah. On point. In response to this, we've updated our safety and harassment policy and introduced new measures to make

sure the venue continues to remain a safe place. This is great, looking out for the people who are in the pub. Yeah, totally. We're continuously striving to create a safer and truly open space for our patrons, artists, and employees, and we operate a zero-tolerance policy on harassment of any kind. Creating a safe space goes beyond implementing measures that deal with incidents after they have happened. We also have an obligation to educate new club goers

and help them understand what is considered acceptable behavior inside the venue and on the dance floor. d floor where shenanigans are plenty happen we encourage you to interact with strangers however any engagement must begin with verbal consent this also implies if you are for example staring at someone from afar so this is the thing that you must first approach the person and say, hey, how are you? Nice to meet you. Yeah.

I'm going to go back over there and gawk at you. So this is, yeah, this is what they put out. No staring. No staring without verbal consent. Who's going to ask to stare at someone? I mean, that's... First. That's harassment in itself. Seeking consent. It's gawk. That's harassment in itself. Seeking consent.

It's gawk. That's the creepiest thing ever. Can I stare at you? I am all for clubs, like, having these sorts of rules in place. And I love... Absolutely. There's multiple places you go into the bathroom. It's like, if you are with someone who's making you feel unsafe,

or if you feel unsafe, go up and ask for the angel shot at the bar. Or whatever it is. Or bar staff. You need help, and we'll do our shot at the bar. Or whatever it is. They will indicate to our bar staff you need help and we'll do our absolute best to help you. I think that's so fantastic. And it's sort of a duty of obligation. Well, because everyone should feel safe, shouldn't they? But this is, and a lot of people are confused by the place saying,

now you're not, we're putting a big stop to staring at people. Unless you get permission to stare at them. I mean, you shouldn't be creepy and just be constantly gawking at someone and staring. It should go without saying, but to then put it in the same bar as seeking consent for any interaction. Yeah.

Because you'd be absolutely creeped out if somebody came up to you and said, hey, look, can I stare at you? Would it be all right if I looked at you for a long period of time? Without gazing away at all. I'm going to lock in for a long period here. To be honest, have at.

But I can only speak for myself. That's verbal consent granted. Yeah, right. For you to look. How bizarre. Imagine if someone came up and said that to you. Yeah. I've got to give them the benefit of the doubt,

given how responsible all this other messaging is. that to you. Yeah. And you're like, no. I've got to give them the benefit of the doubt given that how, you know, responsible all this other messaging is. Yeah. This is sort of like a mis... They've put it

in the wrong paragraph. Don't stare at people. That's creepy. If someone complains about you staring, you'll be removed from the club. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Maybe give it a big... Because nobody is giving consent for someone to stare at them if they're being a creep. No. Yeah. No.

Not at all. But all the rest of the No. Yeah. No. Not at all. But all the rest of the stuff, fully on board. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, makes sense, doesn't it? Stop being creeps. Stop being a creep. Stop doing yuck things. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

So I received a phone call the other night, mid-dinner, and it pops up. And what happens when you – it pops up, it's ringing and you're like, can't talk. And then it gives you an option of like mini replies that'll text the person who's trying to call you. Like I'm driving. Yeah.

I'm in a meeting. I can't right now. Can I call you soon? Yeah. So I set up a few more of those because you can go add custom. But when someone's calling you, it's too late to add custom. You're never going to get that sent out in time. So I added a few more of those.

And one of them is, sorry, just having dinner. I'll call you after. How often are people ringing you that you need to send them a custom message? Well, it's obviously happened at least one other time. Because then I was like, I need to add a custom to this. Right. Sorry, I can't talk. I'm just having dinner.

Yep. And that feels like a personalized reply. Yeah. Mind you, if you can pick up your phone at dinner and type out a text message and reply to someone, you can probably pick it up, answer it, and say, I'll give you a call back in five minutes. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, I've got one that says, can't driving. Yeah. Because that's short and sweet. A lot of phones, if you drive, they can automatically detect that you're driving and then reply to calls and block them anyway. Saying, sorry, can't drive. Yeah, like it'll put on do not disturb.

Oh, right. But then driving, most of the time I'm plugged into the app so I can answer it on the steering wheel and not have to take a thing off. But I've got a can't driving, because that's nice and short. I'm driving, can't driving. And then people get it.

Yeah. they're like okay ring soon but you've been mocked for the dinner one yeah the can't talk now having dinner call back soon

and everybody laughed at me and I was like why it's just weird no it's a great it's a great like how many times are you getting called through dinner

I would say the second okay in your whole life that would say oh no probably more than that but this is the second time in recent memory because I've obviously put in this custom reply. Right. That's a sexy custom reply.

What about one, sorry, making love. Because you can't stop. I'm in the throes of passion. I'm making love. Can I call you back when I'm done? Won't be long. Humour. Yeah.

It's got humour in there. Yeah. But if your phone starts ringing, I'd put it on do not disturb during passionate lovemaking. Yeah, well, and dinner maybe. Maybe dinner. Yeah. Oh, no, I'm not putting it on do not disturb during dinner. Because the kids will start one of these stories

that goes on for 10 minutes about something that happened at school that I don't know anyone involved in this story. Right, okay. And I'll be like, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, look at phone, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Well, they did what? The kids will start one of these stories that goes on for 10 minutes about something that happened at school that I don't know anyone involved in this story. Right. Okay. And I'll be like, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, look at phone, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Well, they did what? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. When was this?

Right. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Just a little check. You can't have it on do not disturb. Oh, parenting sounds so much fun for that. It's a bit autopilot involved. Play ZM's Fletchvorne and Ailey. ZM's Fletchvorne and Ailey.

We thought we'd give it to the producers today. Hello, good morning. Morning. Is this a unanimous decision? Or was it a majority rule situation? It was one suggestion that we all agreed on. It's not Smash Mouth again, is it? No.

Every time Anna gets a chance, it's always Smash Mouth. She's always peddling her Smash Mouth agenda. But not today. Well, today's song debuted almost exactly 10 years ago today. Comes out tomorrow, 10 years ago. Wow. It was in the New Zealand charts for 12 weeks. Okay.

And it peaks at number nine. Okay. So it's a banger. It's a banger. People will know this song. Top ten hurt. Yeah. Okay. And it peaks at number nine. Okay. So it's a banger. People will know this song. Top ten hurt. Yeah. Okay. Anything else?

No, that's all the research I did. Jesus. Band. Is it a band? Or a solo artist? Wasn't this a car ad? No. I feel like this was a car ad.

I've just seen it. I don't actually know. I don't think it was. I believe it's a bop. It's a bop? this was a car ad. I've just seen it. I don't actually know. I don't think it was. I believe it's a bop. It's a bop. Do you believe it? Do you?

All right, your Friday flashback from the producers today. It's Icona Pop. I love it. ZM. I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone. I crashed my car into the bridge. I watched I let it burn I threw your shit into a bag And pushed it down the stairs

I crashed my car into the bridge I don't care I love it I don't care I love it I don't care I love it I don't care

I love it I don't care I love it I love it I don't care It's your Friday Flashback on ZM Icona Pop. That song is now 10 years old. I love it. It's the name of the song. I can't believe it's 10 years old.

I mean, I say that every time I hear a 10-year-old song. Some feedback. Have producers got to pick this week? Oh, yeah. Let them have it. Thumbs down. I mean, I say that every time I hear a 10 year old song. Some feedback that producers got to pick this week. Oh yeah, let them have it. Thumbs down, thumbs down, thumbs down.

They had so many songs and they chose this stinker. Yeah. Someone called you a stinker. It's good that they're finally getting put in their place. Banger, I love it.

Oh, okay. Someone said it reminds me of Will Ferrell in the movie Get Hard. I haven't seen that movie. Hayley's COVID brain would have made a better choice. Yeah, wow. Someone said,

Bang, a great song to listen to on my way to work on Friday. Someone else said, Not old enough. My young children are singing it. Oh, right. Older flashbacks. Yeah, right. Not too old.

Don't encourage them. That last text just comes from someone who's not willing to grasp the fact that their children are getting older and they themselves are edging ever closer to death. Wow, that's deep and miserable. That comes from a man who also struggles to deal with the fact that his children are getting older and he is creeping ever closer to death. That's a morbid start to a Friday. Happy Friday, guys!

Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. All right, 13 minutes past eight, we will play the new Elton John Britney song, Tiny Dancer, the remix, soon on the show. The first listen. Kidney, I want to talk to you now, though, about Dr. Ajay Dajmali.

Can I just get a tip of the hat how seamlessly I rolled through that name? Well, you backed yourself. Dr. Ajit Dajmali. And you backed yourself, and it sounded great. I might have been wrong, but I said it with all the arrogance. It sounded right. All the arrogance and bolster of a white guy who's having a go. So he is a kidney specialist.

And over the years done countless kidney operations, often involving organ donors or people donating a kidney to a loved one. And after years and years and years of doing these, he one day decided it was his time to step up to the plate and he donated a kidney. So he had a patient, what, that needed one and what, they couldn't find one, so he's like, well, have mine.

Yeah. He first met this patient, John Jarts, when John had been diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease and had developed a friendship with him for eight years, had been dealing with this and it got to the point where he needed a transplant.

And he has a rare blood type and faced a five to seven year wait for a kidney from a cadaver donor. Yep. And he said, you're not likely to last that long. It's going to be a pretty miserable wait and a wait that you might pass away before. So the doctor said, shush, please, Siri, I'm speaking. And he said, we've found you a donor. And he's like, oh, my God, how quickly?

How did this happen? And he's like, well, it's me. And he donated a kidney to his longtime patient and good friend. So did he obviously go under and get a surgeon at that hospital to take out his kidney? Well, he didn't do it himself, Fletch. Well, obviously he didn't do it himself, but then did he put... Give me a mirror. I'll look in the mirror and cut myself

open and get the kidney out. But then did he like put that on ice, recover, and then did he put his own kidney into the man? Or did he not have anything to do with the operation? Oh, no, no, no, no. I don't think you're allowed to. I wouldn't think you were allowed to. Why wouldn't you be allowed to? Well, he works in a hospital.

I'm assuming he knows other kidney specialists, which, by the way, are called nephrologists. Neph, like neph. Like nephews. Nephew, nephrologist. Nephrologist. Yeah. Right, okay.

So he donated a kidney. That is above and beyond for a customer and that's what I want to talk about this morning. Take, you know, this is the time to be a little bit braggalicious. Yeah. Because you might have done something for a customer and you're like,

here we go. They're going to lay it on thick. And they were like, hey, cheers. And they didn't quite live up to your level of appreciation that you were expecting after going the extra mile. Maybe you didn't do it for that. I don't think we want to hear from just people

that found ungrateful customers. No, no, no. We want to hear from people who went the extra mile for a customer and perhaps weren't met with quite as much cheer and hope as they were. This guy was cheerful and happy. Oh, he was very, very, very happy. Very, very, very happy.

But I'm saying we could top them up if they did something and they were like, well, I win the extra mile and I don't feel like anybody appreciated it enough, we'll give you some appreciation. But also just taking stories on when you've gone above and beyond for the customer. Because I wouldn't.

If I was in a customer job, I'd do exactly my job and that's it. If I had to go and get shoes from out back, I'd probably go out back and if there were more than like Five boxes of shoes on top And it meant I had to restack something I'd probably tell them they weren't Is that why they always say

They don't have my size? Probably They go out the back and they're like Twelve's Oh they're right at the bottom They're right at the bottom And I mean if you're not on commission Like you would just say

If you're on commission You're moving a few boxes If you're on commission You'd find the size But if you weren't If you're on an you're moving a few boxes If you're on commission you'd find the size But if you weren't If you're on an hourly rate you're not Yeah You don't move in too many boxes

You probably have a little break out the back there And go back out and say Sorry I said try and log but I couldn't find it But do you know when like When someone you sit at the supermarket sometimes Someone leaves their groceries And the person will run after them I wouldn't run after them

They'll come back I'll put them to the side If they come back they come back Otherwise I'd take their groceries at the end of the day. They'll likely get... What? They'll likely... I think I either paid for them, though.

Oh, yeah, I'll put them aside then. But I'm not running after them. No, but wait, so you're... I thought you'd take them if they'd been paid for. You're taking them if they loaded up a trolley and left it in the shop. No, you're shoplifting. Well, no, you're shoplifting now. Possession is nine-tenths of the law.

Yeah, but that doesn't work when you're inside a supermarket. Well, I'll eat the evidence. Right, okay. There won't be any evidence. There won't be anything left. So when have you gone above and beyond for a customer? When did you go the extra mile? Maybe you gave them a liver, a kidney, a whatever,

whatever the stock did to them. I don't think we set the bar too high. I mean, we're not beating that. We're not beating an organ transplant for a patient. No. At all. But just maybe your chance to brag a little. Yeah.

To toot your own horn. Yes. We'll toot it as well. Yep. With your permission. When did you go the extra mile for a customer? Clay, Zed Ems, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. We're talking about when you've gone above and beyond for a customer. Clay, ZM's, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. We're talking about when you've gone above and beyond for a customer.

I mean, nurses. Oh, teachers. Every day they were. Well, that's what somebody said. I'm a high school teacher. My job consists of going above and beyond every day and being met with a complete lack of appreciation. So a story about a doctor who donated his own kidney?

Liver. Kidney. Kidney. To a patient who he'd actually become friends with. Kidney. Kidney. Kidney. To a patient who he'd actually become friends with. Yes. He'd known her for eight years. It was an ongoing issue, and the kidney had reached the point where it needed to be replaced.

He was on a long list, so he donated himself because he knew this guy so well. Wasn't like a same-day walk-in. Yeah. Imagine just walking into the doctor. What about you? You got one? Because, I mean, I'm on a long waiting list.

Sure. I work at a lawyer's office, reads this text. Okay. And we had an elderly woman come in to sign the documents. Then when she was finished, there were no taxis available to take her home. So I chucked her in my... I didn't...

I don't think they chucked. So I chucked her in the car and I dropped her off home. And just sign here and add me to the will. But you're a lawyer. You probably charged 1500 bucks to come and sign a couple of documents

we've all been into a lawyer's office and walked out and said how much are you taking me home taking me for dinner buying me a drink first

that's nice so I would have just let her wait in reception and there'll be a taxi soon you yeah I mean maybe You gotta get out of work

Yeah Or is this after work That's what I always like When I worked at a petrol station Someone would come in With like a weird problem Like someone came in once And the hose

Some hose had pierced And there was Stuff dripping out Yeah And I was like Hmm And I said Can you help me please

And I said to the person Working in there I'm just gonna help this person Fix their car But then I got to do something That wasn't work for like two hours. You're not a mechanic it's not your jurisdiction

I was like I reckon this will hold and I went around the corner and got some garden hose and cut it to length and stuck it on and put those little clamps on the end and I was like that'll get you home but don't muck around with it too long but they were like so thankful and they were like oh my god thank you so much but it was great because it got me out of pumping people's gas for two hours. Yeah. Matty, when did you go the

extra mile for a customer? Kia ora, team. Once upon a time, 25 odd years ago, I was working for a big box format type store and they had a bike department and there was back in the day that, you know, on occasion

bikes would come in damaged or not up to scratch and you're actually allowed to sell them at a discounted rate okay uh and it was over christmas one time and this lovely young lady and her family came in and they're kind of eyeballing this bike and they're trying to work out whether they could actually fix it themselves so their kids could have this bike and i could tell that you know she was probably struggling to weave it and might have struggled to actually put this thing together so i kind of said, look, come back in about half an hour and I'll see what I can do. I might be able to find some parts and get this thing sorted for you.

Yeah. So, you know, I rustled it up, put all these bits and pieces together. And, yeah, she came back and the bike was pretty much close to new again. And so she got to buy it at the super-duper discounted rate. She was so stoked. Yeah, she was pretty happy. Well, and like Vaughan, you just got out of work for half an hour too by actually doing something else.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. I'll show you a motive. Great, yeah, great work. Go in the extra mile. That's going in the extra mile. Good lad. There's a spanner over there and one of those kits. Go home and do it yourself.

Teach your man to fish. Yeah. Fix a bike, bike him for a lifetime. Exactly. Thanks, you call Maddie. Some messages in. I paid for a customer's groceries. I was checkout manager at Christmas a few years ago.

It was a young couple with a baby. I could see the stress on their face. They were arguing about money and what they had to put back. And I paid for it and they just turned around and said, and then left. And then the next day the husband came in and bought $80 worth of durries. I was livid. I was livid to say the least.

Do they think that he wrote or they wrote it off as like a supermarket cost? Not a personal cost. I don't know. But then you also can't do nice things for people with proviso, you know? You know, you can't buy something and then you can't be like, hey, I'll buy this for you as long as you stop smoking. Yeah. proviso, you know? You know, you can't buy something and then you can't be like, hey, I'll buy this for you as long as you stop smoking. Yeah.

But then you expect it of people but you can't sort of demand it, can you? Jessie, when did you go above and beyond for a customer? Yeah, so I'm a jeweler. Yep. And coming up to Christmas time, obviously we do lots of engagement rings.

Organised this engagement ring for this guy. He was going to pick it up after New Year's when we reopened. It was all made and everything like that. But on Boxing Day, I get this frantic message from him and this is all our socials, emailing, calling, that he desperately needed the ring today. On that day, on Boxing Day, which obviously we were not at the store. Yeah.

And he sent his dad on like an hour drive and he was standing at the steps of our store, waiting to pick it up. So got in the car, drove 25 minutes into town to get the ring out for him so he could take it and propose to his fiance. On Boxing

Day? On Boxing Day. But everybody's got the sales. That's not a good day to propose. It is a sales day. You've got sales. The children just think you But everybody's got the sales. That's not a good day to propose. Yeah, that's a sales day. You've got sales. The children just think you picked it up at the sales. Yeah. No, definitely custom made. Wow.

Okay. Dad was very appreciative, but I never heard from the guy ever again. Oh, so that's a public holiday. No. Yeah, you didn't know. You didn't even get a follow-up thanks. So he planned to do it in the New Years and then changed his mind and everybody had to drop

everything and go and sort it out for him. No. I bet you the marriage is over now. Well, I hope, yeah. You hope it's over. He sounds hard work. He sounds hard work. Jessie, thanks for your call. Kim, when did you go above and beyond for a customer? Just me, Kim?

Yes, Kim. Hi. Yeah, so when I was a teenager, I worked in a petrol station on weekends. And I'm in Palmerston North. And one weekend, this young, three young people pushed a car into the station at a broken down. We called the AA and they had to wait for hours to get help.

And then the AA couldn't get it going. And they were trying to get to Auckland because they had a family member who was very unwell and expected to pass away and these people were quite upset and desperate to get there. So when I finished my shift,

I attempted to drive them to Auckland to see their family member, but unfortunately along the way they got a phone call that the person had passed away. Awkward. Do you turn around at that stage or do you keep going? I was really sad.

Whereabouts were you when you got the phone call? Oh, I think about just slightly north of Taupo and then so one of the other family members drove down and met us at Cambridge and took them the rest of the way. So you're with a car full of strangers and they just find out that someone's died and you're like, oh wow, okay, you're a good person. It was pretty sad.

You probably put a sing-along on the radio to brighten the mood, wouldn't you? Some sing-along classics, maybe. Thanks, you call Kim. Sarah, when did you go above and beyond for a customer? Well, it wasn't actually me. It's my teenage son.

He's 14. Yeah. He's got his first little job in a fish and chip shop that he literally works like two hours a week and gets like, you know, minimum money. Yeah. He had a guy come into the fish and chip shop the other week that he ordered a burger and his card declined.

He was sort of like a middle-aged guy. Yeah. And so his card declined and he said, oh, well, can I get a bit of fish instead then? And Jaden was like, yep, so put that through and that accepted. And so he said, oh, could I see if I could add a scoop of chips to that as well? And then his card declined again on that, and Jayden just said, oh, look, I've got some coins in the back of my phone case.

I'll go and grab that, and I'll pay for your hot chips to go with it. And so he went and paid for the guy's chips, and I, like, literally cried like I did at born. And I had a moment. I had a pure moment, and I, like I like pulled my eyes out. That's so nice. Yeah.

Because I would have just stolen some chips and given them to him. I wouldn't have paid for them. I would have just like, oh, I'm here to run a business. He's not getting anything for free. Yeah, no, definitely. Oh, that's so nice.

Yeah. Raising one of the good ones. Yeah, Sarah, thanks for your call. Are some messages in to finish? I paid $1,000 for catering from my personal accounts so a small business didn't have to wait

for the next pay run in a few weeks time through work. That's a good thing. I heard that last night on 7 Sharp. Right. The summary was saying

that, you know, people treat big companies like small companies but small companies are like going week to week versus big companies that have got a bit of cash and arrears. So if you pay like going week to week. Yeah. Versus big companies that have got a bit of cash and arrears.

So if you pay your small businesses. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody said, I legit received a kidney from my nurse. What? They messaged in saying it happened here, but it was from a nurse. Wow. Yeah.

I FaceTimed someone's mum to help her do the Christmas shopping. I did not know her before this. Okay. That's nice. Someone had broken down on their bike, but they said they couldn't afford to get it taken to the place where I work to get it fixed. So I went out and picked it up in my own personal ute

and drove them back in. Oh, that's nice. Good. Getting a bit of business there. There are some good people out there, aren't there? There are. Some good people out there. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is in 1933, yo-yos were banned in Syria. Okay. I mean, we've had yo-yos banned at schools. Yeah, schools were banned at yo-yos. Why did your school ban yo-yos? I think it was for praise, weapons.

Yeah, they could be used as a weapon. You could take out a maths teacher with one if you've got a good swing on. Yeah. You could really wind them up. January 21st, 1933, yo-yos abandoned Syria by then Prime Minister Haki al-Azim. At the time, there was a drought. Yeah.

And severe cold. Drought and cold. Okay. Yeah, when a drought, at least it's warm. Yeah. This was a cold drought And it affected local cattle And agriculture

And you know The ability for people To feed themselves It was believed Superstitious people In Syria Believed This was divine punishment

For the people For the introduction Of the yo-yo Okay Of course it was It claimed People were praying for rain They said

Please let the rain come down from above. However, the yo-yo was mocking rain. Oh, okay. Because the yo-yo goes down, and just before it hits the ground, whoop, straight back up into the hand with a subtle tug of the string. Oh, my God. So apparently the divine powers that were in charge of rain felt they were being mocked by this thing that was defying gravity.

And so they were stopping the rain from falling. Right. And as a result, they were angered in the heavens and drought was punishment. And so they were like, we're going to ban the yo-yo. So on January 21st, police paraded the street and confiscated yo-yos from anyone and everyone that they saw playing with them. And they said they are now banned and no one can do yo-yos because you're mocking the rain.

When did they lift the yo-yo ban? When the rains fell down. When the rains fell down. Yeah, it's a banger. That song's a classic. Natasha Bedefield? No. No.

Hilary Duff. Hilary Duff. The Duffster. Hilary Duff. Both big songs on the Hills soundtrack. Yes. I believe. I.N. of the band was lifted after the drought broke.

They said you can play with your yo-yos again. People have believed in far sillier things, haven't they? Very, very silly things. So today's fact of the day is less than 100 years ago, yo-yos were banned in Syria because people thought they were mocking the rain. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I 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 Zed in. Researchers have asked people, and they have done this over 50, they've asked people over the age of 50 in 13 European countries when they felt the most happiest and most content in life.

Okay. European countries. European countries. What age range do you think that would be? Like from your time on Earth, what's been the happiest? How long do I have to think? I mean we're live on air

we probably don't need like minutes of dead air and a silence does silence indicate that I'm struggling to think of a happy time or I'm just struggling to think of which was the happiest?

Which was the happiest? 30s early 30s early 30s I thought I was happy in my 20s, early 30s. Early 30s? I thought I was happy in my 20s, but I probably wasn't as happy as I was in my 30s. I felt a bit more fulfilled. Okay, well, I'll tell you the time people felt the least happy were the angsty ages of 10 to 14 and over 70.

Because over 70, you're typically associated with loneliness and your body's falling to bits. Oh, yeah. And obviously angsty and, you know, those early teenage years are the worst. But, yeah, you actually hit it on the head. The ages of 30 to 34, according to everybody they asked, that was the time that people felt the happiest. But it's also that age where people dread, right?

Like the big monumental 30 or the 40. People are like, happiest, yeah. But it's also that age where people dread, right? Like the big monumental 30 or the 40. People are like, oh, no. Yeah, maybe not as much anymore. But maybe more. I don't know. Everyone's different, right? Yeah, everybody's different. But no.

Yeah, 30s make sense. Very content now. Happy now. What about you? Does that line up with when you're 30s? Yeah, I guess so. Are Very content now. Happy now. What about you? Does that line up with when you're 30s? Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, 30s. And you're happiest?

Yeah. Yeah. So I don't feel any less happy, but that does feel like a happy period. Well, yeah, because you turned 40. Did you feel less? No, I didn't feel less happy when I turned 40. No. It's all kind of the same from like 30, right?

It feels like it. It's just all of a sudden you're 40. And your back hurts a bit more. You need a body pillow. Yeah, and you make these noises when you get up. How was your body pillow last night? Still great?

Yeah, it was good. But then I rolled away from the body pillow and when I rolled back for the body pillow, Sade was on the body pillow like a barnacle. She was barnacling

the body pillow. And you couldn't get her off. She was asleep. And now the kids have discovered the body pillow. Oh my God. And they were like, I the kids Have discovered the body pillow Oh my god And they were like It's not there

I got to bed And the body pillow Wasn't even in bed They'd taken it into bed They loved the body pillow So now everybody In my family Everybody in my family

There's gonna be Four body pillows In the Smith house Oh my god Everybody wants one The body pillow Would be like Twice as big as a kid's

It's like a metre and a half It's taller than her She's like Look at this It's taller than me And then she was Dragging it around And then she's like

The good thing about it Is I can just plop it on the floor. I was like, don't put my pillow on the floor. And then she'd lay on top of it. She's like, look, I can lay on it and watch TV. So, I mean, the body pillow has been a huge hit. A huge hit, yeah. With everybody in the household. Play.

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fletchvorn and Hayley. Silly little po. Silly little po. Hayley. Oh, that's aliens. What do you play when you talk about ghosts? I just was screaming at Fletch. He had to play the X-Files music. No, that's when you talk about aliens. Oh, aliens. you're talking about ghosts? I just was screaming at Fletch. He had to play the X-Files music. No, that's when you talk about aliens.

We're talking about ghosts. Now, this slipped through the cylinder pole. Karwen put up, she's a believer. She's a believer and a believer. Karwen, this is, how did you let this slip through at the social media desk? I'm not going to throw anyone under the bus, but it wasn't one of our preps.

So one of us came up with this and it wasn't mine. In your defence... I know what you're going to play. You're going to play Ghostbusters. No, I'm not playing that. It's rubbish. In your defence though, the nation... Ray Parker Jr. would disagree. The nation has responded and a lot of them believe in ghosts. It's ridiculous. The stories that I've read this morning.

Ghosts. Do you believe in ghosts? No. 56%. So it is a majority of people who don't believe in ghosts. 56% so it is a majority of people who don't believe in ghosts yeah I don't think we've curated that audience

somewhat over the years yes 44% of people believe in ghosts they believe in ghosts maybe ghosts are different for everybody it's not the traditional

sort of like white yeah foggy sheet creature Casper not Casper yeah uh Abby here we go and the feedback Yeah Foggy sheet creature Casper Not Casper Yeah

Uh Abby Here we go And the feedback Abby says Um I clicked yes Because I'm too scared

To click no In case they come for me Abby You can't live your life Being scared of ghosts Scared of ghosts Yeah Um

Hayley says After watching Supernatural for years, I want to say no because they are as scary as F. Now, Supernatural was the TV show with the two hot brothers. I never watched it. One of them was Soulja Boy in season three of The Boys, Jensen Ackles. Oh, okay, right. You watched that yet?

No, it's on my list. Sort it out. You need to watch that. Season four of The Boys has started production. Okay. Jazz says, no, when other people have something creepy happen, I don't. It can all be explained. But yes, when it happens to me and I can't explain it immediately,

I assume it's of course a ghost. No. Rebecca said, I said yes, but I think it's more spirits than ghosts. Like vodka, Jim Beam. No, like spirits Like Spirits Spirits Eye roll Fletchers roll his eyes

I just rolled my eyes So spirits She's not thinking Traditional ghosts She's thinking Right Waves of cosmic energy I guess

Alright Allie Felt one in our house That's a Allie You've got a draft You need a little You know one of those

Sausage A bean sausage thing. Felt one in our house when we moved in. Had friends over and they saw her too. Oh, of course they did.
