The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Grab any size McCafe coffee for any $4 conditions apply. Today at work, I'm looking out the window, it's flu shot day. It's jab day. Jab day. I've booked mine in for Friday.

I'm booked in today. I'm booked in tomorrow. It's good we've spread these out. Are you? Just in case we fall like dominoes. You never know. Yeah, no, I'm going first. I'll try. I'll give it a go.

How long does it... I forget for the dead arm to come in. Because I get a dead arm from these every year. I never get a lightly tended arm, but I never get the dead arm. I've never had the flu vax. What? You've never had it before? Never had it. No, I never get the dead arm. I've never had the flu vax. What? You've never had it before?

Never had it. No, I just don't get sick. I don't know. This has never been part of my family's thing that we do. Are they really encouraging it this year? Yeah, I know. So that you don't think you've got COVID. Well, because you could get a combo of COVID and flu.

And for the fact that for the last two years, everybody's been like, during our flu season, it's been very careful, masked up, spaced and protected. But this year, it's just a bloody hellhole free-for-all out there. Free-for-all, yeah. The flu, if it gets in, could spread. We're in the stage of the pandemic where we're ignoring, aren't we? Yes, but I was at the mall yesterday and everyone was wearing a mask but one guy that I walked past.

Oh, really? And I was like, shocked to see his face. But he's allowed to. A friend came back from Australia, and I was like, what's it like over there? And he just said, it's crazy. Like, hardly anyone wears masks. No, nothing.

They're just like, ah. Could COVID piggyback, or could the flu piggyback on COVID? Oof. Because you know how COVID's super transmissible. Could the flu – I mean, this is a question how COVID's super transmissible. Could the flu? I mean, this is a question. This is more of a rhetoric hypothetical. I can do some research.

I'm trying to create panic, you see. I thrive off people panicking. Because if you got COVID and you're inside for seven days, and then you got the flu as well on the back of that, you'd have to stay because you're still symptomatic of COVID, even though it's now actually changing to a fluke. You could be inside for a couple of weeks. That'd be nice.

That's pretty good to me. That'd be bloody nice. That's pretty good to me. Well, get your microphone. You can work at home. Oh! Ray. ZM's Fletchford and Hayley.

Thank you, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletchford and Hayley. Three minutes past six. Look at him bloody sauntering in. He's got a box of beer in his hands as well. All right, let's get going then.

I've been sat in the corner that I can't give its full name to. No. The go F yourself corner. Yeah. I've got a sign. I've got a new sign that's been made for us. Great sign. I'm packing your Pikachu backpack.

You're still going with this Pikachu backpack? It's incredibly embarrassing. Yep. Have you been paying attention the other day? Who was it who said, oh, do you actually use that? They thought you were doing just a gag. There was no gag in a Pikachu backpack. It's a fine backpack.

Grow up. It's got a little laptop compartment. Oh. It's a fine backpack. Grow up. It's got a little laptop compartment. It's got a little pouch on the front. It's a great backpack. That's something else. It's lost. It's high-vis, too.

The top six is coming up on the show. Do you remember that? Yeah, don't tell me. It's in there somewhere. I was in the corner when I was told. Oh, yeah, the top six places to take your cat wife. It's going to be a very serious show today. Somebody's marrying their cat.

To get round a no cat rule that their landlord has imposed. Oh, I like that. Apparently you can circumvent it. Circumvent? What's the difference? You're married to them.

Circumvent. Circumvent is like avoid, isn't it? Yeah. And circumnavigate is go around. Go right around. Yeah. So circumcise your landlord's rule. Yep, that's another one.

You have to go all the way around with the circumcision too because if you only go halfway around, it'll... Still be attached. Yeah. You can't have that. You circumvent, find a way around an obstacle. Yeah, there you go. Circumvent. Circumvent, find a way around an obstacle. Yeah, there you go. Circumvent.

Circumvent the landlord's rule of no cats. By marrying the cat, I believe they're then your partner. Right. But there's still a cat. This world. Sounds like something either I or Carwin would do. Marry a cat. Could he flitch civil union in Murray?

He wouldn't go full marriage. Only with a prenup. Oh, yeah, you know, he's coming for your money. Don't want the cat taking you to the cleaners. Yeah. Although I'll hopefully

outlive him. Oh, jeez, that's grim. Oh, wow. You've got such little respect for his life. What, yours is more important than his? Yeah.

He is at the top six place to take your cat wife or cat husband. All right, it's coming up in the Top 6 next on the show. Well, a food expert is chiming in on the best way to eat toast, and it's definitely not the way I've been doing it. Hey, I don't want to get you all hungry because this absolute watery protein smoothie in my hand is not doing the trick,

but let's talk toast. A classic meal. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. I'll rock a bit of toast on the weekends. Love a bit of toast. Yes. A bit of vogels. Okay.

Always vogels. Yeah, always vogels. But I'm not like a plain toast guy. I'm avocado. I pile it up. A bit of your chilli jam. Chilli jam, which I made over the Anzac weekend. But every now and then, though, you can't beat a little bit.

I had a bit of your honey. Just your plain honey. Yeah. It's good honey for toast, that honey. Toast. That honey. It's not too sweet. Well, a food expert has said that the secret to great toast

is all about the way that you eat it upside down. And actually, it makes a lot of sense because your taste buds are on your tongue, not the roof of your mouth. And all the good stuff, no offence, vogels, is sitting on top, the spreadings. Yeah, but once you chew it around and eat it, you're getting it, aren't you? You're getting all that honey all over. But it's the immediate hit. Right.

The first thing you taste. But then gravity. If you were rocking a lot of honey, this might be all right for a marmite. Yeah, exactly. What I'm thinking of my loaded toast with avocado and chilli jam, it could all end up in my lap, couldn't it? You'd have to go quite quickly on that. But they did say make sure that your toppings pass the upside down test.

So I would say if you're having a peanut butter, it'd pass. If you're having a peanut butter and banana, wouldn't pass. What if you cut your toast into quarters or manageable segments so you could have it the right way on the plate and then upside down and on the way in? 180, put it into your mouth and then 180. Oh, you're like in, twist, ram. Yeah, like cut little squares of it.

Yeah. Good idea. Probably just solved a pretty major problem that this article didn't even address. No. Do you know my favourite thing to ever have on toast of all time is apricot jam, butter, apricot jam, cheese.

Oh yeah. That would work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bit of sweet. What kind of cheese are you talking? A hard cheddar? I'm talking just like a tasty. You know, yeah. A basic cheese. Okay. I'm not getting fancy here. No, I was just thinking a hard cheddar

would cut through that sweet apricot, wouldn't it? It would. It would. A sharp, sharp chase. Yeah. Oh, I'm hungry now. Well, there you go for your toasting this morning. I've always thought that Mr. Trick

not having the flavour in the toast. Well, that's a toasty, isn't it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That is a toasty. Listen up, stupids. I think he's just answered 200. Vogel's gets together with Vegemite, because I'm a Vegemite guy, not a Marlite guy,

and they make a Vegemite-flavoured loaf. But it wouldn't be wet. No, but then you just... Sometimes you need a bit of wetness. You just butter it for the wetness. You're being silly now. You're being outrageous. We've already got toasty bread.

I'm putting this to my friend Ra, who works at Goodman Fielder. He'll go straight to the Vogel's family and he'll say, listen up, dummies. He will. He won't want to be embarrassed at work with your shit ideas. You won't. Mark my words. Vegemite injected toast. It's not happening.

Terrible idea. Vaughan's Vegemite Vogels. It's a triple V. It's terrible. You're going to sink Vegemite Vogels. It's a triple V. It's terrible. You're going to sink a lot of money into this, I reckon. Oh, I'm not putting a single dollar into it, but I'm absolutely plundering it for profit. A list of the unspoken rules of New Zealand

popped up online and people started adding their own rules that we subconsciously agree to as being New Zealanders. Like if you're overseas and you see someone wearing an All Blacks jumper.

You've got to say something. You've got to say something. Or eyebrows. Or eyebrows. Gotcha. Or when you get off the bus you always have to thank the driver.

Of course. Thank you driver. That's why I don't like getting off the back door. Because I'm worried they won't hear me and think that I've just left their services ungrateful. And then I scream it. Like, you know, the one that takes you from the park and ride

at Auckland Airport. Oh, yes. From there to the airport. Sometimes you're so, like, full of bags. But he's a real public transport user, this one. You've got to go. Oh, eco-warrior. No, it's purely money.

It's purely the cheapest place to park. Yeah. So, yeah, you get off the back door. Yeah. There's a big hustle bustle. I can't walk all the way out the front with my bags. I've got to scream. Yeah.

You've got to wait. Thank you, driver. You've got to wait until they look you in the eye. So you get to... Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah, I don't click and whistle at drivers anymore. Oi, oi, oi. Thank you very much.

Right. Yeah. Okay. It's an unspoken rule in New Zealand. Yeah. One of the other unspoken rules were that you've got to say just these thanks when buying something at the dairy or the servo. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just these. Oh, they still ask you at the servo if you want the two for chocolate bars because they think you're the mystery shopper. Yeah. It's a test. They have to ask you. Who was it that said their dad when they, who was it that told me

this story? Their dad, when they went to their batch, they were, their dad, every morning it was his tradition, he'd walk down and he'd get a bottle of milk and something else and he'd pop it down and he'd walk away and he'd get a bottle of milk and something else and he'd pop it down and he'd walk away. And after ages, like doing this tradition,

every morning he did this, he found out they were charging him for their papers, a paper every morning, because they had their heralds on the thing. So he'd pop the milk and whatever on top of the paper and they'd be like, just that and indicate to that and they were charging him for the paper.

Cheeky. I know. Wow. But then he never took the paper. He never took the paper. They should have let him go in and buy, you know,

get something of his choice for free. Because that was a weird thing whenever we went on holiday. Dad, who never read the paper that I can remember, would always in the morning

because he's a dairy farmer so he'd wake up at four o'clock in the morning, because he's a dairy farmer, so he'd wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning and not be able to go back to sleep. He'd wait till the dairy app and walk down and always come back with a paper. All right. He was a well-educated man at the end of any summer break. Yeah. Because he was finally reading the news.

Another rule, someone said one must always thank the bus driver. Yeah. If someone raises their eyebrows at you, you raise your eyebrows back. Yeah. Never pay full price for anything at Briscoes No, no, no Or Rebel Sport Or Catman Do That's another one

Always on sale If you really need something You know, it's Thursdays Thursday sales and the weekends If you really need something on a Wednesday You can go to Briscoes, buy it, use it Then take the receipt on the Thursday and they pay you back the difference. Do they? Yeah. Within seven days of

the price change. If you go back, yeah, you go like, oh, I didn't realise it was a sale on it. No. I didn't realise it was a sale on it. It's Thursday. Yeah. So it's sales day. Yeah, but they'll give you the difference. It's like I fill up at a Zed and it shits me no end when I need to fill up on a Tuesday, but I know Wednesday's the day

where they do the 10 cents off a leader, not the usual. Oh, okay. Six cents off. When you meet someone at a party, you must find two degrees of separation between the two of you. Yeah. It's fun when you have two degrees of separation overseas. Oh, yes.

Or like one degree and you just know someone. Yeah. That's a New Zealand thing as well. Yeah, very much so. There's everyday jandals and going out jandals. Oh, yeah, yeah. Aaron's got dress jandals. Yeah.

They're sort of more of a leathery. Or a formal jandal. Yeah, formal jandal. A little bit more leathery. Strappy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Spend all day in them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So when you, we talked before about eyebrows up for people you know, nod down for strangers. A nod for strangers, up for friends. If anyone ever answers a question with not many, you must immediately follow it up with, if any. Children's birthday party tables must have Cheerios. I would go one step

further and not say just Cheerios. Cheerios that have turned themselves inside out Because of the fast boil Yeah Oh yeah So they're brown again Yeah And the skin's peeled off

They've blinded themselves Inside out And fairy bread Fairy bread Now do you do fairy bread With honey or just marge? It's gotta be marge Yeah

It would be marge Yeah when we were kids We used to have a little honey Honey Dublay sugar Bourgeois I had a very fancy upbringing. In Auckland, if you've got a new child in the family,

you have to take them to the zoo and put them in the mouth of that dragon. Oh, yeah. At the kids' playground. Is there anything about waving at the pedestrian crossing? Because I feel like that's an unspoken Kiwi rule that's being let down. It's being dropped. I do that. It's being let down.

You've got to thank them. Always thank the driver for stopping at a crossing. Slight nod and a raise of the hand. Yeah. Well, people aren't upholding that one. I do that. It's being let down. You've got to thank them. Always thank the driver for stopping at a crossing, slight nod and a raise of the hand. Yeah. Well, people aren't upholding that one. I toot when people don't. When people walk past. I do.

You're like, I have stopped for you. I stop and then they just walk past and don't acknowledge me. I give them a little boop. I even do that at like the... I'll wave a... Yeah, yeah. A little. Thanks for not running me over,

even though, you know, you'd be in trouble with the law, but I'd probably be in hospital and I don't want to be in hospital. No. You've got to say hello to people you walk past on any unpaved path, like a tramping track. Oh, yeah, God, that's annoying if you're on a popular path. Walk around the base of the mountain. Good day for it.

Yeah. Hey. Hey. Hello. Hello. Hi there. How are you? Or, like, just name the time of day. Morning. Yeah. Hey. Hey. Hello. Hello. Hi there. How are you? Or like just name the time of day.

Morning. Morning. Afternoon. Or if you're going to a hut, anyone at the hut? Just so you know if you're going to have a space to sleep. Yeah, true. And if you should just turn around. Hut busy?

On road trips, you've got to honk through a tunnel and hold your breath over long bridges. Always thought that was the go, but I grew up on the North Island. We've got very short bridges up here. There's some big longies down south. They've got long ones in the South Island. They've got big, long ones. Long and thin. Well, not a lot of water, actually, but those braided

rivers. Yeah. Not very wide, though. Because the farmers have plundered them for their irrigation. Oh, have they? Okay, right. Always, it's shoes off unless they say otherwise. Yeah. And you should always start taking your shoes off as well.

No feet on the table. You've always got to dig a hole at the beach. If you're tying something to the roof racks or to a trailer, you've got to tap it and say, that's not going anywhere. Otherwise it will. The unspoken rules of New Zealand. And maybe have your hand on it through the

window just in case it blows off. Just because if a tie down isn't going to hold it down, your weak wrist definitely will. You want to be able to grab onto it when it flips off. 100%. I remember reading about this chick a few years ago. Macy Curran. She has the world's longest female legs.

It's a Guinness official. It's full Guinness official. She's 20 years old. Oh, no. Yeah, 20 years old. She is 208 centimetres tall. Oh, wow. Which I believe is 6 foot 10 for a woman.

Yeah. For a 20-year-old. Exceptionally tall. Very tall. So she is 208 centimetres tall. 135 centimetres of that is leg. So over half of her. Is leg.

Like a big over half than her 135 centimetres are her legs And Jared was reading about Macy Curran Producer Jared, how tall are you? I think I'm like 170-ish You're 170?

So her legs would go up to What, the bottom of your chin? Yeah, I measured yesterday and it's like to the base of my neck by these like collarbone things. So you would be like legs and then your head would just pop up above the legs? Yeah. So like if you were going out with her, she'd come home? She'd call me her belt buckle.

Yikes. Wow. This is 135 centimetres is so tall. We don't have a tape measure. I'm trying to think about... I reckon mine are like a metre. Because how tall are you? I'm 179 centimetres.

Okay. 5'11". Yeah. Wow. Because I'm six foot. Yeah, you are. Yeah, I am. You're a six footer. Born? Yeah, I'm six foot Yeah, you are You're a six footer, born

Yeah, I'm just over But then I don't think I'm too long in the torso See, I'm very long in the torso I think I'm longer in the leg And I've got longish arms Yeah, see I'm all bod, long bod I even bought special togs Oh, go on

Because I'm long in the body and shorter in the legs. So people always think like tall girl, long legs. No, I've got very average legs. Right. But long in the body. So often when you get a one-piece, like a leotard or a one-piece bathing suit, you shorten the bot. So you either have it right in the crotch, but the boobs or the baps are out.

Yeah. Or you get it right on the baps, but Lord, what's happening down there? You've got a real Kendall Jenner situation going on down there. An absolute Kendall Jenner. So I. Is there a store that does like swimwear for the long bodied lahine? Well, two of my closest friends from my marching team, we're all long in the bod, short in the leg.

It's out the back of Amazon. And we, she found a website and she was like, they've got a long body option. And they arrived with these special one piece togs for long bod. And now the baps and the. It's all covered. All covered. Were they too long or were they perfect? Perfect.

Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. So our short little legs sticking out the bottom and the long bod's all covered. Right. How many options are there for a long bod tog? Oh, there were plenty of options on this website, but generally. A bikini would be long bod by default, right? Yeah.

Yeah, but you're not always in the mood for a bikini. No, no, no, totally. But I was just thinking like togs, options if you win a bikini. Yeah. Oh, look, I wouldn't call it a disability yet. I don't struggle. I'm not that out of proportion that I struggle to find normal clothes to wear. Right.

But a long bod tog, I tell you what, it's life changing. Yeah. Where can people find it? There might be other long bods listening. I can't remember what it was called. I like also for people, like every time you've said long bod, I'm looking at you, but in my mind, you're getting longer in the bod and shorter in the leg.

And you've said it so many times now, you're like a banana with legs. That's very much my body. From the self-driving ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hi there. If your landlord has a pesky no pets rule, it's time to get around that by marrying your pet. That was the plan of London mother of two, who I'm sure her children haven't been teased about this at school at all.

Yeah. What about their new dad? Mr. India. That's the cat's name. Okay. She married India to bypass the landlord's ban on pets. She has previously rehomed three animals due to landlords who don't allow pets. My, I think, just stop getting pets.

Yeah, but some people love having a cat or a dog around, don't they? Yeah, but how many, can you rehome the heartbreak of having to rehome three different pets? Yeah, that's true. I thought they were going to be sort of ruling this all out. This is in London. Oh, I think they're doing it in New Zealand though, eh? Where like, you can't, they're bringing something in about you can't

tell your tenants they can't have pets. Because of the amount of mental well goodness. Mental well goodness. That having pets gives you. Right. You can't take that discriminating isn't it yeah yeah yeah but that's cool if your staff features are on the wall well i guess you're just gonna have to pay when you move out spoken like a real landlord ah so she married india at a civil ceremony in a park to show any future land how important it is for the pair to stay together.

By marrying India, I need any future landlords to know we come as a package. We cannot be separated under any circumstances. She is as important to me as the children. Okay. I'd rather live on the streets than be without her, which might be your only option. I don't know if people are going to take you marrying your cat seriously. Just do what everyone else does and don't tell the landlord you have a cat.

And when there's a flat inspection, have one of those little cages, get the cat in there and take it for a drive in the car. Yes. To one of these amazing top six places to go on a date with your cat spouse. Number six, the fish markets. Oh, yeah. Could you imagine it? Do you reckon the cat would just be overwhelmed

by the smell that generally repulses the rest of us? Yeah. They might have a heart attack or a stroke or something. Yeah. Wow. A roar of pure joy at the smell of all those delicious fishes. And then they put a whole fish in their mouth and then pull it out by the tail and it's only

the bones left because that's what cats can do. Number five on the list of the top six places to take your to go on a date with your cat spouse the plant store to buy some catnip. Let them pick their own catnip. They might, you know, smell something special in there that's lost on the rest of us

and then they can have a sniff of that thing and get amongst it. Do you grow some catnip. They might, you know, smell something special in there that's lost on the rest of us. Then they can have a sniff of that thing and get amongst it. Do you grow some catnip in your garden for Rolly? I haven't grown any in the new house, no. Well, you should. I've got some dried. Oh yeah, nice. Some dried that I sprinkle over his food like it's dried oregano. Do they eat it? Wait. Yeah.

Why don't they just like smelling it and rolling in it? No, you can put a little bit in their food and they go like. Right. So you're just getting your cat high at dinner. Yeah, sometimes. Edibles. Edibles.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow, okay. Edibles. Number four on the list of the top six places to go on a date with your cat spouse are animates. Let them pick a new toy. Yes. Pop into animates. This one's got a bell on it.

Oh, yeah. This one. And then also they can have like a look at the fish. Oh, yeah. What a beautiful date. Romantic. It's got a bell on it. You're doing this one. And then also they can have like a look at the fish. Oh, yeah. What a beautiful day. Romantic. Maybe buy a rabbit for your cat spouse.

Yeah. To eat like a live rabbit. Maybe. What's your budget? Jesus. Live food. Number three on the list of the top six places to go on a date with your cat spouse, speaking of live food, the native bush,

because let's face it, your cat's the biggest predator there is for the native bird. Get it a kitteroo for dinner. Yeah, well, it'd have to get its own. But here it come in, but got it a bit. It has to be high in the tree. Yeah. High in the tree to get those things. I've never seen one land on the ground.

Number two on the list of the top six places to go on a date with your cat spouse. Take them to the SPCA to remind them how good they've got it. Look, you want to be in that cage? We've got all these other cats. Do the dishes. Yeah. What's the human equivalent of taking your date to the SPCA to let them know how good they've got it? Prison?

Yeah, not prison. The SPCA is trying to rehome. Yeah. I don't believe there's a human rehome. Take them back to the foster home where they came from. The orphanage. Yeah, the orphanage. Wow. Yeah, remember where you came from.

It's rough. It's quite toxic. Definitely, that's a red flag in your relationship. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six places to go on a date with your cat spouse. That really cool place for cats with everything you want. It's the vet. Great place. Scratching posts everywhere. Take them to the vet.

But don't tell them you're going there. Tell them you're going to the beach. You're going to the vet. They need their jabs. They need their jabs. It's when they lube up the thermometer that I feel bad for my cat. At least I'm lubing it up. When I go to the doctor they just jam it straight in dry. Dry? Under my tongue. Or for my cat. Oh, I know. At least I'm moving it up. When I go to the doctor, they just jam it straight in dry.

Oh, dry. Under my tongue. Yeah, right. Or in my ear. But I prefer anything to be lubed if it's going in any hole, you know? Oh, yeah. That's why I dip all of my food

in cooking oil before I eat it. Yeah, yeah. It makes it go down easy. No, it slip slides straight down. No need for chewing. That is today's top six. Well, I met a man, a woman called Samantha Lee, 96, TikTok.

Yeah. She had a video. I thought you were saying she was 96. On TikTok? No, I imagine this means she was born in 96. Okay, yeah. Yeah. She shared a video on TikTok

of a little test she does when she brings home dates to her whare. So she puts a little mark on the door at six foot, and she said, I'm fact-checking guys that I invite over from Hinge that say that they're six foot. So when they're walking in. She just goes like, quants. Because, like, service stations and banks have these on the doors.

I didn't know this. Yeah, the coloured tape, the striped tape on the door of service stations is so if they get robbed, the security camera can see how tall they are. So they can say we're looking for a six foot assailant. Yeah, sometimes it'll say like six and have the markings. All the different colours. Well, people are saying like, what's wrong with that? Like, there's nothing wrong with a short man.

I remember recently, not too long ago, we talked about the fact that short men are on the rise, so to speak. Right. In popularity. A sexy short man, Tom Holland. If somebody walked in your door, you'd be like, oh, they look tall enough or they're hot enough.

Like, who cares? No, but it's about lying, right? It's about guys saying, I'm six foot. Yeah. Yeah, six foot. I'm six foot. Love the gym. And she's like, okay, cool.

And then they come around and they're not that five, nine. What else are they lying about? Yeah, exactly. They've got a web of lies behind them. People think this is a great idea. A lot of people commenting saying they're going to do the exact same thing. God, there's so much fact checking to do when you're going on a date.

How tall they are, whether they're a criminal. Yeah. Whether they're a psychopath. You've got to check these things before you bring someone like that into your home. Roll the dice on the psychopath part.

Oh, quit Google. A quick Google wouldn't go on this. Yeah, maybe just quit Google. Quit Google and don't be afraid to hit that fourth or fifth page. Oh, yeah, because that's where all the good to this. Yeah, maybe just quit Google. Quit Google and don't be afraid to hit that fourth or fifth page. Oh yeah, because that's where all the good stuff is.

Oh yeah, like 10 years ago, a local news article. Yeah. Aren't there services where you can pay like... Someone to look into it? No, you can pay for your...

A private investigator? No, you can pay for your like history to be buried. Oh. So people bury it. These organisations, if you pay enough, they'll bury it

like back past like five or six pages because nobody ever looks past there. I don't know if there's much on the internet that I need to bury. No. I mean, I guess it's if you murder someone. I'm going to hit a quick Google, Hayley Sproul, and then we'll go. Problematic. Hayley Sproul, cancelled.

Page five. Nah, show reviews. I think we're all right. I think we're safe. Page five, I'm pretty good. Melanie Br. I think we're all right. I think we're safe. Page five. I'm pretty good. Melanie Bracewell. We're different people.

Yeah. Oh, what's this? Ah, yeah, though. Who is Aaron Courtesy? Meet Hayley Sproul's partner. Oh, we hate this. I saw the new Gringrover from Novaraid last night where there was- Oh, my God.

It plays all the time. Where there was three. This is Hayley's fiancée. Hayley's fiancée. Would that be- Was that like hot for you? Yeah, man. I it plays all the time. Well, there was three. This is Hayley's fiancée. Hayley's fiancée. Would that be, was that like hot for you? Yeah, man. Being like, whoa. You wish I was the one in the ad having three Aaron Courtesies knocking on the door.

Yeah. Look at this website. Aaron Courtesy revealed. Oh, my gosh. Aaron Courtesy is an actor and director best known for 30 Days of Night. He played a zombie. Yeah. Eagle vs. Shark.

Did he get to bite Josh Hartnett? I don't know. He got killed violently. Alibi. Who is he? Let's reveal Aaron's information. So there's all this stuff about your fiancé online. Yeah.

Oh, my God. The precise birth of Aaron Cordese is not available on the web, but his age seems to be in the range of 32 to 40 years old. He's 40. He'd love that. 32. Yeah, that's right. Still to be revealed. This is what he liked.

His ethnicity is Caucasian, according to research. Wow. My Italian stallion. Well, there you go. Aaron's done many films. That is so weird that they're like,

who is he? Net worth. Oh, yeah, that's always Fletcher's with $69 million. Oh, yeah. Remember that? That was hilarious. I was like, I wish. Oh, my God's always Fletcher's was $69 million. Oh yeah, remember that? That was hilarious. I was like, I wish. Oh my god, Aaron's net value is not

explicitly mentioned, but because he is a director of theatre, might I add, we may say he earns a good deal of money and enjoys an incredible life. The most common filmmakers make about $2 million each project. Wow, congratulations. I can confirm here and now this is not true. filmmakers make about $2 million each project. Wow. Congratulations.

I can confirm here and now this is not true. Wow. Okay. Well, maybe don't go five pages deep on the internet when you Google yourself. Yeah, there you go. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Well, magnet fishing.

Lots of YouTube channels, lots of stories of people fishing up some amazing stuff, like World War I grenades. Oh, yeah. Stuff like that. This got you so excited. You jumped online and ordered magnet fishing kits for you and producer Jared. Yep, lost the first one, threw it in Auckland Harbour, and I got trapped in a rock and probably still down there somewhere.

Gone forever. Bought another set. Yeah. And have you ever got anything of value? Like when I went with you that time, you got like some washes or like wasn't there a spark plug? Yeah, spark plugs. Old spark plugs. Like nothing inside of huge value but one less spark plug in the ocean, you know?

One fewer spark plug in the ocean. Yeah, but you've thrown a whole fishing set in the ocean, so it's sort of tit for tat. You're actually polluting more than you are saving at this stage. Yeah. Right. Well, I've fished out a few hooks and such. What are you going to do with those? Do you keep them or do you just bin them? I think I've took them home and binned

them. You can't get them off the magnet. From the ocean to the landfill. You are a hero. You're the most welcome ocean. I was hoping for a supermarket trolley or, you know, something exciting. Supermarket trolley would be a hard one to fish out because they don't have a big, flat piece of, you know, and they weigh quite a bit. Yeah. Well, a 15-year-old in the UK, he was with his dad and they dredged up a safe with their magnet, an old safe. He's got a popular fishing channel called Magnetic G.

Look at the size of this. Wow. Has he got multiple magnets? It looks like two. Are they bigger than your magnets? No, about the same. Wow. Because your magnet can pull up how many kgs?

Was it 250? Whoa. Yeah, it was a 700 pound, whatever that was. Big magnet. It had a flat surface. They got the safe over and it contained thousands of dollars. And they've reunited it with the owner. I've got a photo with them.

I'm not reuniting that with the owner. It's finders keepers. Yeah, that's salvage rights, baby. But then wouldn't it all be wet? Well, apparently not. Apparently the safe was stolen in 2000 during an office robbery. 2000? This dude's son, that's your money.

Yeah, I know. But they couldn't get into the safe. So I'm guessing the robbers just chucked it into the. Into the ocean. Or it might be a river even. But yeah, they got it open And yeah reunited the safe Isn't that crazy

How much money was in it Just thousands of dollars Wow I've got to get back into it then I missed the prime weather I missed the prime weather for magnet fishing When it was warm Because this is what I was

Asking I missed the prime weather for magnet fishing when it was warm. Yes, you have. Because this is what I was asking is... Who said that? Who said that? I don't know. Who said the word? Who said the word? I was just having a listen. Somebody's called up saying that we said this S word.

I don't know that we did. I don't know if we did. Heaps of people are calling. When did we accidentally... We've got to choose a word that we can't accidentally just say. We didn't plan to say it now. I think it's because we've been saying safe. A safe.

Yeah, maybe. I don't think we said it. I might have said saving the world. Like, saving the world. Oh, you did. You did. Well, somebody might have said like, oh, you're saving the world. Yeah, I think you might have said that.

But then that's not the plural of saving. I think I said saving the planet because I said. Yeah. But that's saving. That's not savings. That is not today's. This doesn't count because we're discussing it. Alia, who's calling up?

Sorry, babe. That is not today's. We didn't say it. Sneaky little word. We are just checking, though, because we're bloody useless. An audio adjudication on the matter. Jared, just let us know in the chat whether or not that's... He's still listening back.

He's still listening back. Jared, producer Jared, what have you come to there? I'm in the process. I'm hearing your current audio and your audio from two minutes ago. That's going to be hard. That's going to be tough. Very tough there. This is really because we wanted to open up the phone lines now to ask you

about the times when you've taken up a hobby like Vaughan hasn't only done it twice. Three times. Three times. Three times. How much did the kit cost you? $40. Oh, okay.

I'm not mad at that. That's not bad. It's not like you put a couple of thousand dollars out there and bought all the hobby equipment and then you've done it none. I bought a $200. Oh, this is just landing now. A $200 recorder, you know, like a big one. What are they called?

Like a bass recorder. Real like dulcet, big fat tones. And I was like, I'm going to learn how to play this. Is that like the one that they do the Mandalorian you know the Mandalorian Star Wars series yeah probably

it's an incredible sound but I thought maybe I would learn how to do that because it would be a really funny trick to learn right

I haven't opened it you know those are like $30 no for the little plastic ones yeah but for like the big actual instrument ones they use

in orchestras and stuff for the hardcore recorders. No, for the little plastic ones. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, but for like the big actual instrument ones they use in orchestras and stuff, for the hardcore recorders. Okay. Wow. But was it still plastic? Yeah, but it's like, I think the tip of it's resin, you know, like it's-

Is it like that? It's got a full read, like a big 30. Yeah, like that, but it doesn't have the bend in it. Oh, it's real posh, isn't it? It's a posh recorder. I'm a posh gal.

We want to take your calls now. 0800-DARLS-AT-AM. You can text'm a posh gal. We want to take your calls now. 0800 DALS at AM. You can text as well. 9696. When did you take up a hobby, but only do it once or twice? Yeah. Or nuns? Maybe nuns at all.

Nuns at all. Yeah. 0800 DALS at AM. You can text 9696. And bonus points if you spend a lot of money too, getting ready for this hobby, buying supplies. I was collecting dust right now. Yeah.

We're talking about hobbies that you have maybe invested in and not got your money back from. Well, no. Well, somebody's fished up a safe with their magnet fishing kit and Vaughan's used his three times. Yeah, where's the good safes? Where are all the safes in the sea? If you were a criminal, let us know, 9696.

Where would you chuck a safe? Because then, you know, just sort of like understand the criminal. I feel like the places where these YouTube channels are and the magnet fishing happens, like in countries that have got a history and they're always pulling up some metal swords or some cool stuff. Yeah, like Europe's massive for it. The canals and stuff that have been around for hundreds of years or like America, guns. People are always pulling guns.

I'm happy to live in a country where you're not constantly fishing up guns from waterways. Yeah, yeah, guns and bodies. Yeah. Guns and bodies. Happy, happy to do that. Some messages in, I bought a $1,200 drum kit and I've never touched it. Sold it for $500 just to get the space back. Wow. That's a loss.

I took up drumming for a couple of months. My dad bought me a kit as well. Sat in the corner. You want to get those ones that don't make noises, that are just the pads. The electrics. The pads. The electric ones that you can wear headphones right and hear it. Spent $500 on a two-month F45 membership and went once.

Yachi, yachi. I spent $1,500 on DJ decks in lockdown just to try them for 10 minutes and get bored, but they look cool in my room. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Nice sort of set dressing piece. They're reeling in the honeys. That's money well spent.

Yeah, put that on your Tinder profile. Yeah. Your decks. You're a DJ. Yep. You're reeling in the honeys. My girlfriend and I took up golf. She bought all the gear brand new.

At least a couple of thousand dollars. Then hated it after three games. Never played again. The stuff's just still sitting in her garage. Oh, no. Maybe when she gets older. You know, like, yeah, have more time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's a genius sport. Your mum does a bit of golf, doesn't she? I don more time and it's... It's a genius sport. Your mum does a bit of golf, doesn't she? I don't know, she's been on the golf course lately. Why not? I simply must ask her. I know she doesn't like to play in the winter. Oh, yeah, too cold. Too cold, too wet. To be walking around like that.

It's a bloody misty, too. It gets misty in the winter. Oh, it's so misty. You can't find your ball. No, you couldn't possibly. Our flatmate and I decided to learn to surf. $400 board, $350 wetsuit, $170 on lessons. We went once on our own, nearly drowned, never been back. And sharks, and it's real cold. Well, that's where the sharks live.

You can't be angry at the sharks. No. It's not their fault. Because you've gone to their house to look like a delicious seal. Yeah. Not that they bother you people that often. But roller skates and all the gear during the big TikTok phase when everyone was getting back into roller skating on TikTok.

I've been twice, spent over $300, fell over, decided to hurt too much and haven't touched them since. Oh, dear. Now, Vaughan, you were interested before because, you know, we are saying this because you have only used your magnet fishing three times. Where are all the good safes in New Zealand? Yeah, yeah, if you were a criminal. Well, Daniel's called up.

Apparently there's a safe in Hamilton that keeps trying to get dug up. Daniel, what's the case with the safe? So basically there was a bunch of old criminals that were doing some real dodgy stuff in the area that I live in, out in the back of Hamilton in Royal Tarangi. And they basically got locked away. But before they did, they buried their millions, their millions and millions of dollars out on this farm.

And quite a large property. And ever since, it's been about six or seven years now. But people have been buying the property regularly every couple of years. They come in with their big ideas. They're going to dig up the millions. They go searching. They bring in diggers. And they don't find it.

They go bankrupt. And it goes on to the next gold. You need to get your magnets down there. This is a wild story. This is the Hamilton. What's that? DB. Who's the guy that jumped out of the plane with the millions of dollars?

Yeah, DB Cooper, isn't it? DB Cooper. Yeah, yeah. The DB Cooper story. This is Hamilton's very own DB Cooper.. Yeah, D.B. Cooper, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, the D.B. Cooper story. This is Hamilton's very own D.B. Cooper. Wow. Yeah. Real similar, yep. And I mean, honestly, and to be honest with you, the farms have gone back up

the sale again now, so if anyone comes to Huntington, one of the millions, and has a spare digger laying around, a spare few hectares, I mean, it's a beautiful farm as it is. It's got a beautiful view. Oh, I think we should all go in. Daniel, you can come in because you've informed us. I just think a farm itself would be lovely.

Yeah. Run some sheep on there and then occasionally dig a hole. Tie the magnets behind the sheep and when they're steady with the sheep, suck. Can't move. You've found it. Daniel, brilliant. Thank you for sharing that.

We'll get Vaughan's hobby back up and running. Callie, what did you spend on a hobby? So we decided after COVID lockdown and that you couldn't travel anywhere, that we would buy a caravan. You know you can hire those, eh, for short term. Oh, no, but we were going to go holiday. We were going to use that.

You can't get away from your partner, though, Callie. No. Yeah, well, he's to blame, are we honest? Yeah. So how many times have you used said caravan? Oh, once. Oh, no. Yeah, once in a year.

Was it like a new caravan or like a retro caravan or a big one? No, it was an import, but we paid 46K for it. Oh! Oh! I was thinking, because I've been trying to convince Sade to let me spend like five grand on a little old retro one one day.

Oh, I've got one you can buy. I don't want a $46,000 imported one. Unless you're willing to take a huge loss on it. Or swap it for a magnet fishing kit. Oh, a straight trade. Are you sure you could fish up another caravan? Yeah, you're probably right. Two things as well.

We're still paying storage fees for it, $150 a month. Okay, you need to sell that caravan. I do. I'm not the barefoot investor or a rich dad, poor dad, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't agree with that. No, brilliant. Kelly, thanks for your call.

That's a lot. Messages to finish up. I bought a Bowflex Revolution. Are they still making those? For $5,500. What? What are these? What are they?

Like, ab machines, aren't they? Weren't they at home? Everything. It was like, not weights. It was all like bending the thing. Hardly use it. Currently in storage at a friend's as I don't want to lose money Selling it but I don't have space for it at my own place I'm afraid you are going to lose money

Selling it but you've just got to take that hit Right Wild times Alright our silly little pole is next On the show. Tarai's silly little poll is submitted by a listener. Listener submitted. Listener suggested.

I wouldn't ask listeners to suggest many silly little polls because it saves us coming up with them. Absolutely. We're dry as a bone at this point. We're lazy at heart, aren't we? And this is a good one. No, you say something like, we find your involvement in the show really important

and we love crowdsourcing oh wow the language yeah spin of this one you could work in pr oh my god yeah this is low hanging fruit yeah yeah wow and i just find the i don't think they i don't want to identify them as listeners i think of them as family participants. Yeah, absolutely. Wow. In this get-together. Yeah. This day in the get-together.

And it's your show too, so sure. Submit them. Here we go. This is submitted by a member of our extended whānau. Do you place mugs and cups up or down in the cupboard? Good suggestion. Now, up meaning open at the top. Yep. Down meaning closed off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Room at the top. Yep. Down meaning closed off.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Room on the shelf. I'll start. I'm up everything. You're up everything? I'm up everything. I, too, am up everything. But I used to be mugs down.

So the idea, right, is that dust and stuff can't get into them, right? I know, but how often do you clean your cupboard shelves and you're putting the rim on the bottom? Yeah, that's true. And then you're taking that out and you're supping straight from it. And if you've left any moisture in there at all and it remains in there for any amount of time and it forms a seal, it could get a little manky fungi.

Ooh, yes. It could get a little manky mouldy. Is the other idea that you're more likely to pick it up with your fingers from the top if it's a glass? Oh, yes. To get a little nanky moldy. Is the other idea that you're more likely to pick it up with your fingers from the top if it's a glass? Oh, glasses. I was only talking mugs. Right. But I'm just assuming if you're going to leave your cups down, you're probably putting your glasses upside down too, right?

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, do you put your wine glasses? No. Upside down? Top heavy. No, no, no. Not unless you're hanging them by the base. None of ours are hanging them because some of the replies will say flies and dust.

Okay. But none of our cupboards that we store our glassware or muggery in open. Are fly accessible. Yeah, they're not fly accessible unless a fly nips in while the drawer's open. Wow, this is very, very divided. Up a short lead at 55%. Wow, and it really is close. Down 45%.

Some feedback. Kath, up at home, down at work. That's so true. Why is that? All of ours are up, right? Up at home, down at work. Yeah. Based on how many people might be touching them.

But a cup, you're touching the handle, so that's irrelevant, right? At work, do you go for the cup that looks like it's been used the least? Because we've got a whole lot of screen-printed cups here at work that have the company's name on it. I like the red ones. I always go for the iHeart. The iHeart Radio Cup. Oh, a fantastic... Now, is that in support

of the iHeart Radio app? Oh, a fantastic app. Now, this is an app where you can listen to our show. App is short for Apple-ication. Apple-ication. Apple-ication. You can listen to the show, the podcast, anything, anywhere on the go. That's right.

Nearly live. There's a slight delay. Minutely delayed. Put that down as another seamless mention of the iHeartRadio app. iHeartRadio. I even put the jingle in. Yeah, thank you. Another feedback on mugs up or down.

Erica says, always up just feels cleaner to have the piece your mouth is touching not touching the cupboard. Mankey cupboards. Yeah. I change all the cups at work from facing down to facing up for this very reason. Who knows when that cupboard was last cleaned?

Is cup up, cup down the new toilet paper front or back? But there's only one answer there. The toilet paper front. Unless you've got children or animals that will pull it off, then toilet paper back makes it harder to pull it down. Shannon says mugs down, glasses up. Feels like a game you used to play at school. Mugs down, glasses up.

So your wine glasses open and up. Yeah, mugs. Somebody just fell from the ceiling. Your mugs. That's just asbestos. Mugs down. Anna, well, you don't store your plates and bowls upside down. Yeah, exactly.

Gross. Okay, Anna. Anna's got a point. Well, you don't store your plates and bowls upside down, do you, suckers? Wow, the sass. Charlotte has the same rhetoric as the reason I thought people would say down. Down so dust doesn't get inside the cup. Yeah, but you've got a dusty cupboard.

What are you, living in the desert? Like, clean your cupboard. How much dust is getting in cupboards? Just have less cups so that dust doesn't have time to accumulate. Shorter rotation. Yeah, shorter rotation. Taylor agrees with you. I don't know why, but I feel like the stale air gets trapped in my mug if it's face down.

I don't want my lips to touch the rim of the mug. The moisture could definitely form a seal. Yeah. Oh, cup up. I don't want no creepy crawlies walking over crap and then in my coffee cup. Cup down. What again? What are you living in the jungle with spiders?

Yeah, all these mangy people with their dirty bugs and dust and stuff in the cupboards. Roaches, yeah. Have you covered a claim? Clay, Zed M's, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Okay, so yesterday on the little group chat we've got here for work-related stuff, but also just, you know, just friends chit-chitting and chatting. You find a funny video, like chuck the TikTok in the group chat. We'll have a gif.

Yeah. It's a gif. Can you stop eating licorice all sorts? I'm allowed a lolly at 7.45 in the morning. I've been up since 4. I mean, at least pick a decent lolly. How dare you? A licorice all sort is lolly um it's trash uh tuesday 1 15 p.m

um executive intern arnie writes we should talk about this lots of eyes and then sends through a tiktok link and she says i love and so i'm like well well, far out. This must be something. Hot content. So I open it up and there's a young lady and she's like, I've worked out how to answer the question, what should we have for dinner? Now, this is a big question that a lot of couples face, isn't it? Everybody faces it.

You must say to yourself, what am't it? Everybody faces it. Yeah. You must say to yourself, what am I going to have for dinner? Yeah. Yeah. And 90% of the time it's Thai takeaways. Let's be honest. This, ladies, genius solution was to- Life-changing, mind-blowing solution. Executive Internanya said this.

She wrote down. Why do I even try? I wondered too. But this woman's life-changing solution is she wrote down every meal that she likes. Her and her partner. Her and her partner. And then put it into a randomizer. So I put it in a random order.

And then. Like it was an Excel randomizer. Like there must be a thing in Excel that does this. Yeah. Yeah. And then had it repeat in her Google calendar once every effectively eight weeks. So they were never eating the same thing, you know, week after week. And then she did this sort of like breakdown

of how you can't get sick of something if you only eat it once every eight weeks. The effort that this woman, the size of this Excel spreadsheet. Yeah. And she puts it in her calendar.

Imagine looking at your calendar trying to say like, oh, am I busy on Thursday? And it's like got a hundred meals written in for the next six months of your life. At the top,

the headlining your iCal or your Google calendar is what you're having for dinner that night. Fish tacos. It's terrible. It's a terrible suggestion. It's a terrible idea.

But you're a big fan of this. I thought it was going to change everyone's life. Oh my God, how? No, because if I knew that fish pie was dialed in for Thursday and it got to Thursday,

I'd be like, I don't feel like fish pie. But you can't change because you've planned out so far ahead. Exactly. If you rob from next Tuesday you've either got to

double up or move fish pie to Tuesday. The amount of effort that went into creating this spreadsheet is so much more than the amount of effort

it takes per day to think what are we going to have for dinner? Yeah. And I like then we started talking about when we were growing up, we

pretty much ate, like, a very tight rotation of meals. I feel there were like five or six meals on rotation. Yeah. Meatballs with pasta. Yes. Spaghetti, yeah. Spaghetti. Meatloaf. A rice risotto. Yeah. There was a diamond rice risotto.

We always had like a beef sort of chow mein, like a cabbage beef. Oh, no, we didn't have that. That sounds posh. We had a roast. We had a roast. Yeah, roast. Either roast beef or roast chicken.

Spag bol. Spag bol. Yeah. All the classics. Yeah. But how many different meals are you having every night? I could honestly make like five to seven meals. Seven?

If you put that in your randomizer, you're not in any better place. So what, for example, what's a meal that you make? Steak. Okay, so you have steak. I love steak. I could never get sick of steak. I could literally eat steak every single night. But do you change what you eat with the steak? You change the sauce? You change the veggies? A good

steak doesn't need a sauce. So you put... So you have steak tonight and then you put it in for eight weeks time. What are you having in the next seven weeks? Why am I doing this to myself? You'll pass out. I'm anemic. But I think the reason this girl was doing it because

they'll quite often spend a lot of money on takeaways. So they'd be getting savings by not eating out all the time. No, but life's too short to not be eating takeaways all the time. Yeah, but life's too short to not be eating takeaways all the time. Yeah, but it's like you said, if you had it in the planner and then you got there and you're like, I don't want this, it's Thai takeaways. Let's go to the pub.

Let's get Thai takeaways. This is why I don't like those box meal things that you get. Because it's in your fridge and it's like tonight you're having a schnitzel with stuff. Yeah, and don't tell me what to do. I want a schnitzel. Don't bag schnitzel. I hate schnitzel. I love it. I grew up on it. I hate schnitzel with stuff. Yeah, don't tell me what to do. I want a schnitzel. Don't bag schnitzel. I hate schnitzel. I love it.

I grew up on it. I hate schnitzel. You can't even say it. Probably because I can't say schnitzel. Oh, I know. You haven't had a good schnitzel. I like that when you mispronounce it the first time, you got one syllable right.

It was the last syllable. And then when you mispronounce it the second time, you got the first syllable right and the last one wrong. It's wrong and yuck. Cooking your schnitzel wrong. It's wrong. Don't blame the schnitzel for your poor cooking technique. You're baking the schnitzel.

You've got to shallow fry the schnitzel. Yeah, I don't like to be told every day what I'm eating. I'll decide on the day. You're an independent woman. What can we say? Absolutely. Well, I mean, it's... I like to imagine Nadia Lim's really telling me what I'm eating.

Right, yeah. Well, you like to be told what to do. I like to be told what to do. Yeah. Doing by Nadia Lim. Yeah. Doing Bernardi a little. Yeah. Thank you. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

I will preface this story by saying yesterday as we were having a meeting after work, remember I did say, oh, and Anna said, what? And I said, I just felt a twinge in my left ovary. I assumed. And it only means one thing. Yeah, that's what I assumed. I assumed and didn't say anything thing yeah that's what I assumed I assumed

and didn't say anything the egg have been released yeah and Flo Flo isn't and Flo's in town she's on the fast track from Dargaville

to Auckland why is she coming from Dargaville I don't know is that where my is that where your marae is every time you get

comes all the way from Tenopai Northland but anyway yesterday I had I had a really busy day after work I had an audition Every time you get... Comes all the way from Teno Pai, Northland. But anyway, yesterday I had a really busy day after work. I had an audition. I had a laser appointment. I had all these sort of appointments.

I think I'm a busy gal. And I just felt, I was feeling super irritated, really, really annoyed. And it's been days and days and days of feeling this, that all my undies are too tight. Oh, I hate when that happens. They're too tight. Yeah. They're just too tight.

And they cut in and they suck in and they're pinchy. And it's like I can feel it all day. And it's been a constant. And I've sized up, but I didn't size up. You know what I mean? You're undies. Physically, I've sized up and I didn't size up. You know what I mean? Physically, I've sized up and I didn't size up my undies. So I had a bit of a meltdown and I rung Aaron

and I was in tears. He was like, well, tell me what's really going on. I said, oh, this thing and this thing and this thing. I was like, all right, so what's it actually about? And I said, my undies are too tight. It all boiled down to your undies being too tight. It all boiled down to it. I think I would have been able to handle the day a lot better had my undies have fit. Because it's just a constant reminder like somebody poking you there just being like you don't fit these. Hey. And then you

feel bad about that. These don't fit anymore. And all my undies are like this. So I got upset about it. And then he just said the most obvious thing which was why don't you just go get some new undies? And I was like, that makes so much sense.

See, that could have gone two ways for him. He was really walking on a tightrope there because you might have been testing him. This is how I, this is my, I approach everything with caution if there's a motion. You're in the middle of a field, there's a landmine all around you.

I'm like Minesweeper on a Windows computer circa 2000. Yeah. And there's flags all around me and number three. Now that means it's pretty much surrounded. But I would have been like, the logical solution is get new

undies, but do you want the logical solution? The logic was not at play here. You're but do you want the logical solution? The logic was not at play here. You're right. This is the Johnny solution, because my friend Johnny is the most pragmatic person I know, and he will say to his partner, now what do you need from me? Do you need emotional support, or do you want the logical

solution? Oh, wow. I know he is a genius. Anyway, I tried this on Sade one day when she was emotional. I said, now, what do you need from me? Emotional support or the logical solution? And she said, F you. And I was like, ah, I don't know.

And I rung Johnny. I'm like, Johnny, what do you do when they swear at you? He's like, it's never happened to me. I'm like, God damn it, Johnny. Solutions. I would be totally taken aback if Aaron had ever said to me, what do you need? The emotional support or the logical solution.

Because it's almost like saying, are you being irrational here? Yeah. It is a nice way of saying, are you being irrational? And how can I help you either recognise your irrationality or am I wasting my time here? Exactly. Do you just want me to tell you you're beautiful? Can I help you either recognise your irrationality or am I wasting my time here? Do you just want me to tell you you're beautiful? I don't know.

I will say because I don't know how. So I took logical then, right? Yeah. And I just went to, I popped into farmers. And boy, I bought myself the biggest sundaes on the shelf. Yeah, they're granny panties. Look how light and happy I am today. You're a completely different person. Nothing's digging in.

Yeah. But this did just remind me that later I got home and I was sitting down and I was still feeling a little bit stuffy and I was doing some work and watching TV and doing some work on the computer and I just turned to Aaron and I said, I can't just sit here all day. And he goes, all right, all right, what should we do?

And he made these suggestions. He was so sweet. He was like, should we go go-karting? Go go-karting? What? Man, I wish he was my boyfriend. I'd be like, I'm grumpy. Should we go go-karting?

Immediately. That's the greatest idea anyone has ever put to me to get over my grumpiness. I said, that's so much effort. How much does it cost? I just poo-pooed the go-karting, which honestly would have solved everything. I was like, I'm just going to go for a walk. And then I went for this walk and I started running. And I went

for a run. I haven't run for ages. And I came back and I said, I was puffed. And he said, well, how was your walk? I said, I ran. I went for a run. And he said, that's great. He said, it's really good for you. You know, you should run a little bit more often. And I said, no! I said, why are No! I said, why are you fat shaking me?

No! Well, poor Aaron. Day before yesterday, I got home and he was limping. And I said, what's happened now? And he had hooked his little toe on our little retaining wall in the driveway. You know when you sort of wrench it a bit? Well, I hate when you, like, a little toe into the corner of, like, a table leg or something.

Little toe anywhere. To make matters worse, this is a toe that he broke years ago. And they didn't do a good job on it. So they whacked him in a moon boot, you know, for six weeks. He broke two toes and like the top of his foot and the toes sit wrong. So it's always been a dodgy toe. It's a bit wonky. Bit wonky.

Yeah, right. But then he hit it and he just sort of clipped it and then was like, ow. And then I said, gives a look at it and it had this it was so swollen and bruised but it had this like dent in it yeah and I was like tapping it being like nah that's not bone that's not bone that's just swelling I said I can feel it squishing back you were like poking his bowl yeah and he was like and he just was going oh no it's broken he said I'm telling you now it's broken. I was like, no, don't be so dramatic.

It's not broken. You've just heard it. We'll put some ice on it. I was like, maybe I need to go get an x-ray. I was like, no, no, no, no. Look, we'll just ice it for the night. Put it up. Woke up the next morning and I obviously had already come to work yesterday.

And then I text him during work and I said, well, what are you up to? And he said, I'm at the hospital. And I was like, why are you at the hospital? It's not broken. You've just heard it. He's broken it. It's broken. Oh, wow.

And I was tapping it really hard. So you may have made it worse even. Yeah. So, I mean, they've, you know, splintered it and put it in a little. Does it get a moon boot? No, it's not a center foot. It's a moon sandal.

It's not a boot. You know when a moon boot goes up the leg, you're like, oh my God, someone's in a moon boot. What does a moon sandal look like? Oh, we'll give you a little look. It looks like... It's a moon boot without the boot part. It looks like...

Like a flipper. You know those sandals you used to wear at school that were like Velcro? Airtrek. Is that what they were called? Airtrek sandals? Like a little flipper. It looks like when you go? Air trick sandals. Like a little flipper. It looks like when you go scuba diving or like a snorkeling shoe.

That's all velcroed up. Oh, no. But, yeah, it turns out I was very, very wrong about it and it is broken and now they have to see, you know, they've got to leave it for a bit, compare those X-rays with the last ones and see if he needs to get it properly broken. Oh, it's very reset. Chuck some pins in it and stuff.

And I was like, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Nah, that's not the bone. Wow. And so did you, when you got home yesterday, did you, when did the I told you so happen? Yeah, pretty quickly. Yeah. But it was hard not to, for either of us to feel any kind of, you know,

guilt or something because he was clobbering around on this one moon sandal. I think we just both had to laugh about it because it was so stupid. But I wanted to put it to our callers. Has this happened to you? When did you have an injury that maybe someone underplayed? That nobody believed. No, no, no.

Also, I think there'd be a lot of people listening who are like I've got COVID or, you know, and people are like Yeah, right Like, you know, the man flu You've got hay fever Yeah Like, oh, I'm sick Oh, you know, you've got the man flu

And it turns out they have some horrendous infection Yeah, yeah And they're like on a ventilator but they're like Told you so Yes Told you I was sick Years ago, I was marching in Australia when I was like a teenager and this girl who I was marching with said, oh, I've got such a sore gut.

She was like, oh, my God, my stomach. Everyone was like, get over it. You've just eaten something funny. And then while we were marching, her appendix burst. What? That's a serious one. Yeah, and she had to – she just finished the whole march display that we were doing.

It was crazy. But it's that thing where people go – So she got to say she just finished the whole March display that we were doing. It was crazy. But it's that thing where people go. So she got to say, I told you so. Yeah, I mean, she was on a pretty quick flight back to New Zealand and then in hospital. But yeah, people always quit to poo-poo and injury. Yeah. Especially a silly one like a toe. Yeah.

All right, so 0800DARLS. We want to take your calls now. You can text as well, 9696. When did your injury prove someone wrong? Now, just before we get, we've got a little issue here. Libby's called up. Good morning, Libby. Hi, how are you?

Good. How can we assist you this morning? I've got your dad's phone. My dad's phone? Or my dad? Yeah. Vaughn's or Fletcher's? Vaughn's dad. Where did he leave the phone? Where did he leave his phone? He my dad? Yeah. Vaughn's or Fletcher's? Vaughn's dad. Where did

he leave the phone? He left it at J.A. Russell. What was he doing at J.A. Russell? He's probably buying stuff. He's been and buys bits and pieces occasionally. Is he an electrician? I hope he's not going to electrocute himself. When did he leave it there this morning? No, yesterday afternoon. And I thought, someone's going to

ring it. No one's going to ring it. Give your mum a call, Vaughn. I'll give the landlady a call. Wait there, Libby, just one moment. Okay. I love that you knew to ring ZM. Yeah. Well, I didn't know how else to get hold of them. What?

The phone would be locked. Yes, it is. Hey, mum, it's Vaughan here. Hi. You're on the radio, so don't swear. I know you've got a potty mouth on you. Oh, she's got such a pirate mouth. Thank you very much.

Hey, has Dad lost his phone? Yes. Oh, we've got it. It's at J.A. Russell. He left it in there when he was there yesterday. Yes, he knows that. Oh, he knows that. Why hasn't he called them and let them know or rung his phone?

They're worried about him. How do you know he's left it at J.A. Russell? Libby from J.A. Russell's on the phone. She's got Dad his phone. I'm worried about him. How do you know he's listed at J.A. Russell? Libby from J.A. Russell's on the phone. She's got Dad's phone. Oh, okay. As long as he knows where it is, he... Libby, okay, thanks, Mum. Are you pardoned? I said thanks, Mum.

Oh, that's okay. You're going to ring them when he gets in to say have you got my phone? I'll send my wife in to pick it up. There we go. Okay. Well, Libby heard that, so you're still taken care of. Okay, so we're sending in.

Are they open already? Are you open already, Libby? Yes, we open at 7 a.m. They open at 7 a.m. in my bloody morons or J.A. Russell? Oh, well, you tell her I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth and come on in. Okay, that's great. Oh, that's nice. Thank you very much for your help, detective.

Okay, that's more than welcome. All right, we'll see you later. Bye. There we go. Let me thank you. You'll get to see Ward's mum soon with a clean face. Great. And clean teeth.

And a clean mouth. She's big on cleaning her teeth. She always says to me, literally first thing in the morning, she's like, have you brushed your teeth? I'm like, I just got out of bed. I didn't have my coffee. Give me a moment.

Give me a second woman. She's like, and you've got sleep in your eyes. Go wash your face. Oh, my gosh. She's all still all over me. Oh, bless her. All right, getting on. Getting on now.

Back on to TAR. It's good to do a bit of admin. It is. Do a bit of admin. Do a bit of admin. Second care of. Your fiance, Aaron. Broke his tongue.

I didn't believe him. And I gave it a tap, tap, tap. We didn't get an x-ray. It's broken. It's a very broken effect. So we want to know when maybe an injury proved a partner wrong. Yeah, or proved someone wrong. Nobody believed you?

You twisted your ankle. Everyone was like, oh, come on, whack some shoes on. We're going to town. Jeff, you didn't believe your wife. Yeah, it'd be bang on, man. Tell us what happened. So we just got out of the section and went up there to go and dig some holes for the retaining wall.

And yeah, I'm not going to lie, the ground was pretty firm. And so we were digging away, digging away, man. And she was like, man, my wrist is just real sore. And I was like, you know, you work in an office, man. You're just not used to the physical labour. You'll be fine. Just carry on. Oh, Geoffrey in an office, man, you're just not used to the physical labour, you'll be fine, you know, just carry on. Oh, Geoffrey, Geoffrey, Geoffrey. Is this your ex-wife now?

I was instantly playing with fire, you know, throwing that comment out there. And so we carried on for a bit, man, and then, yeah, then I just said, oh, look, when we get up to the house, put the mice on it, it'll be sweet, you know, everything will be right. And then the next day she went to work

and obviously trying to hold her hand to work on the keyboard. And then she was like, this is just sore. I need to go and get it sorted out. And I was like, oh, go and have a look, man, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be broken. And then sure enough, I get a message with a photo of her arm in a cast because she's broken her wrist. Broken.

And you're in the dog box. I'll be married for five years. Yeah, we got married not long after that and it's still a sore point and it's still a talking point in the house. Yeah.

Yeah. Wow. We don't forget these things. No. Jeff, we don't forget. Jeff, thanks for your call. Olivia, you didn't believe your sister.

Yeah. So my sister was a poor student but just had awful wisdom teeth taken out. So she'd come back home and she wasn't feeling too well and she was on codeine. She was like, guys, I'm really not feeling well.

We're like, nah, nah, it's just the codeine. You know, last time you didn't react too well to it. She was like, no, really don't feel well. And me, mum and dad are like, look, you's just the coding. You know, last time you didn't react too well to it. She was like, no, really don't feel well. And me, mum and dad were like, look, you just constipated. We're not taking you to the hospital or anything. That's what you say to a kid when they say, I've got a sore tummy and you gave your bimpoos. Yeah, yeah, maybe he's going to get bruised.

But anyway, no, she kept up the fuss and mum and dad were like, well, you take her because that's what older sisters do. So took her down and turned out that she had a rumbling appendix and that had to get emergency surgery. Oh, wow. A lot of those similar stories. Yeah. It's dangerous. We could have just said, when did people not believe you had appendicitis?

Because, man, there are some text messages on it as well. Olivia, thanks for your call. This one blows my mind my partner was complaining of a sore jaw and spent days resting on the couch saying they were lethargic and they had a sore jaw

I was really taking the piss out of him taking photos sending it to our friends he took himself off to the doctor he'd had a heart attack at the grand age of 28

and jaw pain is an indicator of a heart attack remember when I had a heart attack at the grand age of 28, and jaw pain is an indicator of a heart attack. Remember when I had a deep vein thrombosis from flying when I was like 30? It was like a little weak, squatty thing, eh? And it looked like half your face went down. Oh, yeah. I tell you what, there are some stories of people messaging and saying they didn't believe their children when their children, like like jumped off a playground.

We're like, oh, my leg. You're all right. You just jumped off the nail teacher. And they had broken ankles. You're just trying to get a happy meal.

Broken bones. It was always like parents would blow on it to cool it down. Give it a little rub and a kiss. Yeah. We're like,

here you go. My daughter fell over skiing and said her chest was sore. We said, you've just pulled a muscle. Four days later, it turned out she had a broken sternum.

Oh my God. I'd never let my parents forget that. and said her chest was sore. We said, you've just pulled a muscle. Four days later, it turned out she had a broken sternum. Oh! Oh, my God. I'd never let my parents forget that. I had bad chest pain. Everyone was telling me it was reflux and kept giving me quickies. Oh, yeah. Oh, what was that?

I'd have emergency surgery to have a toxic gallbladder taken out. Oh, my God. They said if I had stayed at home much longer, it could have been far more serious. All blood had taken out. Oh, my God. Wow. They stayed at home much longer. It could have been far more serious. A friend hurt her pelvis playing soccer as a kid, and her mum told her to rest up and she'll be fine.

Years later, she had an extra, and they commented saying, oh, I see you've had a previous fractured pelvis. So mum was just like, rest up, and then it healed. But they could see it. This, like, pages of messages of when you weren't believed. It's very Kiwi too just to be like I'll be happy. You'll be alright. Strap her up.

Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day day day day day I do do do do do do do do do do do do Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the teapot. What? Today's fact of the day is about a teapot.

Okay. You guys ever heard of the Assassin's Teapot? No. I want one. I'm going to see if I can buy one on AliExpress. Because these did originate in China. As a lot of your AliExpress purchases will also. Oh, wow.

The Assassin's Teapot means you could pour, say we were having a meeting. Yeah. And I was in charge of tea. Yeah. But I wanted to kill Fletch, but not Hayley. Yeah. She's an ally.

You have mischievous plans afoot. Oh, okay. I want to be leader. I would say, tea. Yeah. And you would say, yes. And I would pour myself a tea. Yeah.

To prove that we're all drinking the same teapot. I would go to Hayley, pour Hayley a tea. Yes, thank you, tea. And then pour you a tea. And we would drink. And only you would die. Because you released a secret lotion, potion. No, no, no, no.

Do you want to go second? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Tea? I'll go first. You go second. Hayley goes third. Well, there's two chambers. Can I drink the tea?

Bingo. There's two chambers, and you're releasing one of the chambers. How do you do the switch? There's different air holes on the back. Oh, okay. So there's two chambers, and they share a split spout, and when you go to pour it, if I cover the back one, it means that no air can get in to let the bottom one flow out.

So only the top chamber flows out and that would be the poison or the non-poison. Very important to remember which one's the poison. I wouldn't trust myself with this. Also, isn't some poison going to get stuck in the spout? Or is the spout part of the chamber? The spout's split right to the end. I still don't trust

myself, but maybe a little dribble might come in and I'll die. Yeah, same. A little dribble of poison. You might just have a big nap that afternoon. Yeah. Your heart might slow significantly. Yeah. Wow, okay.

Yeah, so it was a way of killing people, but having them in your house. Not very hospitable. Yeah. Could you... Does the chamber go all the way down to the bottom of the teapot? So it's literally split in two, basically. Because maybe you could use this now in a modern-day setting for maybe like an earl or a breakfast tea,

and then the other one could just be like a peppermint. Absolutely! You can have one teapot. If it's a real estate situation on your table, maybe it's small and there's other plates. You know when you're at a cafe and you get just a two-person table? Yeah. You both get a pot of tea?

Yeah, just the rule of exponential area increase. Four people at a four-person table have more real estate than two people at a two-person table? Yes. A bit more spread, a bit more plates lined up. And it's a real estate situation. You could totally have one pot of tea with two different teas in it using the assassin's teapot and it would be good practice because then you drink someone drinks and they're like this tastes like earl grey

yeah and you're like i've stuffed it up i'm not ready i'm not ready poison in the front tea in the back poison in the front tea in the back poison in the front tea in the back do you want a tea poison in the back do you want in the front, tea in the back. Poison in the front, tea in the back. Do you want a tea? Poison in the back. Do you want poison? I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, so two different chambers. You could totally poison your enemies and drink from the same teapot and absolutely survive completely unharmed.

So today's fact of the day is there is such thing as the assassin's teapot. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. at work, there's kitchenettes. I wouldn't class them as kitchens. No. Microwave. Microwave. You've got a bench. A couple of dishwashies. Yeah, some dishwashers. Couldn't find a serrated knife the other day though, could we? I'm just saying it had some shortcomings.

There is an oven, but there's no stove. There's an oven in that kitchenette. There is an oven, but there's no oven tray. As we've also discovered recently. Straight on the racks. Look, I'll take this to the next board meeting. Thank you. Absolutely.

A show rep. Yeah. Oh, no, as a board member. Oh, wow. Vaughan likes to think he's on the board. I'm on the board. Because he messages the CEO. I put in a lot of apologies.

I just can't be bothered. You know, they're always like, another meeting. I'm like, apologies. But something I won't take to the board meeting is that somebody here at ZM has been banned from microwave usage. Georgia Burke, good morning. Good morning.

I was just going to interrupt you there. Are you not taking it to the board because you're sticking up for me? Is this why? No, no, no, no, no. Because I'm washing my hands of this whole initiative. Because he's not on the board. He's not on the board.

Don't encourage him. Jealousy will get you nowhere. Certainly not on the board. He's not on the board. Don't encourage him. Jealousy will get you nowhere. Certainly not a board seat. Spoken by someone who's definitely not on the board. There was a note on the microwave yesterday, and it was aimed at you. Okay, there's multiple reasons why this could be aimed at me. It started off because I overflowed my porridge,

and I have been porridging it up in that kitchenette for a long time. Yeah. As you two do the same. I love a porridge. But it overflowed and I got cleaning it up. It actually took me about 15 minutes to clean it up because it exploded everywhere. And then I had to clean the bowl. It was a nightmare.

And then she was like, man, it's like those people that heat up fish in the microwave. And I was like, I'm like those people. Because if I've got like a little fish pie or I've had fish the night before, I halve my meals and I take the rest

If you have fish the night before, it doesn't come to work. It does. Fish is one of the very few things I won't eat leftovers of. You either finish it all,

you only buy enough fish that you're going to eat and finish all the fish on the night. Nothing worse than overcooked fish. Because then you've cooked it to perfection and now you've heated it up and overcooked it.

Nah, well, it doesn't actually affect this level because the way the air con works is it goes to level two. So it doesn't actually matter to anyone on the ground floor. Right, but except those on level two. Because the sign on the microwave said everyone can use this microwave unless your name is Georgia.

I actually wonder whether there's another Georgia roaming around. No. She knows another Georgia, but I checked. She doesn't eat fish. Oh, doesn't she? Okay. Oh, does she not? No, she's fish.

She's non-fish dependent. She's strictly beef. So she's not allowed to use the toilet, but she is allowed to use the microwave. Strictly beef. Because of her strictly beef diet. How often are you heating up fish that you've actually

been banned oh it would be every couple of weeks probably I'd say well it's just like bringing tuna into the yeah unacceptable

as well what tuna and rice is a staple no no not in the workplace not in the workplace you've got that all wrong

well then what about my two boiled eggs as a snack your two boiled eggs as a snack is another reason we need to talk to you. Hang on. So all you're eating at work is tuna and boiled eggs. And fish pie. Fish and boiled eggs.

Fish pie, tuna. Are you hearing this? Are you hearing this? It does sound... That might explain a few things later on in the day for me. Yes, it might. Yeah, well, that's exactly what the producers are saying. No wonder your farts are lethal.

Your farts are lethal. Oh, I've got better at that. The protein, I've cut back on the protein. Oh, your protein powder. I've got a protein fart problem myself. And they actually sit with you all day. Oh, yeah, yeah. They get stuck in your clothes and you take off your pants.

You're like, oh, they're a trap. Right. We can safely say if you're in a workplace, no reheating fish. And if you're going to eat tuna and rice, eat it cold outside. Get in your car. Go sit in the car. It'll be torrential rain and you'll make me sit out there. Find some shelter.

Yeah, find some shelter. Fish love water, famously. Yeah, or sit in your car and eat your stinky fish in the tuna den of shame. Oh, that seems really lonely. It is lonely. It's a lonely life eating fish at work. There is,

at my house, there is a simmering undertone of anger's not quite the right word. It's jealousy. It's jealousy.

It's jealousy. It's jealousy. It's resent. It's resent. It's jealousy. It's resent. When you said anger and jealousy, I was like, I know this feeling. It's resentment. It's resent. It's resent. It's jealousy. It's resent. When you said anger and jealousy, I was like, I know this feeling. It's resentment.

It's resentment. It's a little bit of jealousy. And Executive Intern Anya, there's the same feeling. Well, she told me yesterday what Mr Bun Buns is getting up to soon, and I felt the tone. It's the tone I've been getting. Resentment. Recognised it.

Yeah. Resentment. Would you say that's the right resentment, anger, jealousy? What would you describeised it. Yeah. Resentment. Would you say that's the right resentment? Anger? Jealousy? What would you describe it as? Yeah. Frustration. Yeah. Sort of feeling a bit disloyal, you know.

Left behind? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Baby's been put in the corner. Like a sock that's lost its pair. Shit on a shoe. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Lonely. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because there's some big news for you, Vaughan.

I. See, even. Yeah. Because there's some big news for you, Vaughn. I... See, even you know. Well, the thing is I can't. I haven't told too many people and I haven't been like overly, outwardly excited about it at home because of the resentment. I'm not going to get back. But you've been gifted the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm going to Disneyland,

and I'm getting to go to Star Wars Celebration Day and partake in a sort of like short week's worth of Star Wars stuff. Which is put on by Disney for like, is it for invited people, like media and stuff? Yeah, and there's tickets and stuff people can get to go to Star Wars Celebration Day, and it's just and stuff people can get to go to Star Wars Celebration Day. And it's just like a whole, not just like new Star Wars, even though the time I'm going to be there is also the release of Kenobi,

which I'm super excited about. The Obi-Wan Kenobi post-Revenge of the Sith, pre-A New Hope story of what he got up to there on Tatooine during that time, which I'm very, very excited about. It's a celebration of old Star Wars and surprises about what's happening for Star Wars soon and Star Wars events at Disneyland. I get to go to the Galaxy's Edge.

I'm going to make a lightsaber. I'm going to make a droid as well, baby. It's wow. Look at you. He's literally crawling out of his own skin with excitement Yeah I get to go to panels where they're gonna like Get into the nitty gritty and the nerdy stuff

About like the animated Star Wars series That I can't get enough of Not only that though You get to do some international travel And they pay for it Go to Anaheim Yeah So go to LA and then go

Staying right beside Disneyland Yeah And so how's that gone down with the wife? Well she said Yeah, so going to LA and then staying right beside Disneyland. Yeah. And so how has that gone down with the wife? Well, she said, well, me and the kids should come. And I was like, oh my God, such a dad. She's paying for you to go. Also, she hasn't obviously searched flights. No.

Because they're ridiculously expensive. Oh, really? Yeah. And I was like, I'm just going to be at these panels listening to people, absolutely grilling creators of Star Wars. Every tiny detail. Still have you working on the show. Oh, well, that's up for debate.

No, we've worked it out that it's 11am to 2pm LA time. Easy peasy. That's prime Disneyland. You can get a little sleep and have a bit of brekkie, go for a walk, hang out with us. The reason that Executive Intern Anya can sympathise with your wife is because your partner, Mr Bun Buns, is going to go, where's he going? So he's an automotive journalist and he is going on an all expenses trip paid to Italy and Germany to drive a new car around Lake Como and on the Autobahn. Now you've got me. You lost me a little bit more with the Star Wars stuff.

That's one sort of version of a trip. I'm Lake Como. That's the one I'd be jealous of. Would they film some of Star Wars at Lake Como? No, they don't. They did the prequels. There's a scene with Anakin and Padme and they're standing at a very famous Lake Como spot.

Really? At George Clooney's house. Yeah, having a chilled red wine. Yeah. I'll find the scene. You know the latest season of Succession, when they helicopter into that place by the lake in Italy? I'm not up to date.
