Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Warren and Hayley podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe, grab a rich, smooth, barista-made coffee.
Thank you for saying my name so gently.
I had hit the Hayley hard.
We had to delete that one.
I said Fletch, Warren and Hayley.
Are you angry at me?
No, but we're here.
We're here. We're here.
We are here.
No, not at all.
Not at all.
We've just been hit by the classic.
I think these come out always Monday at like 9 o'clock or quarter to 9.
It's Monday for me, yeah.
Yeah, the daily iPhone screen time, the weekly iPhone screen time.
Very confronting, isn't it?
Oh, and my parking's about to expire, so let's not dilly-dally.
Dilly-dally.
Now, how did you find it? Because I got a
text or like a little buzz.
You can go into settings
and then in settings you scroll down
to screen time. What was your last week's
average? Mine was up
48% from the week before.
Up 48%!
48%! Quiet week the week before.
I think it's because I've been watching a lot of the
I've watched a bit of sport on my phone.
Oh, babe, mine's down 34%.
Also, I did spend a lot of time messaging people because it was my birthday last week.
Yes, this is true.
Saying happy birthday.
Thank you for the messages.
So I'm down 34, you're up 65.
I was down 17.
Okay.
That's probably because you spent all your time stuck in the mud on Sunday.
As you'll hear soon on the show.
Yeah.
Oh, what's this?
A lot of time.
I'm wondering when you've got your phone plugged into Apple Play on your phone.
Yes.
On your car, sorry.
Does that count as screen time?
No.
Because my screen is active.
No, it's not. Yeah, when you're using your maps or whatever
Yeah, yeah, I listen to podcasts using it through that
I wonder if it counts towards it
Yeah, I truly don't know
Oh, look, it breaks it down
Social, no, that's the most of it
My biggest day was Saturday
That was when I was hungover
Oh, no, I was hungover on Friday
That's also up as well
But you were also hungover on Saturday
Yes, I had a two-day hangover
So Friday and Saturday, my screen time is through the roof.
Yes.
Yeah.
My most used Instagram.
Let's see what my kids did for screen time.
Does it?
You can go to Bonham, you can do family.
I can add Sade, I can see everybody.
But when you listen-
Indie's the worst.
When you listen to music, it doesn't-
It counts as screen time, but it's not.
Only if your screen's on, though.
Like, if you're just listening to headphones, does that count it?
I don't know.
No, it doesn't.
I don't think so.
It doesn't, because I listened at the gym,
and I've only got 56 minutes for last week on Spotify.
It's just updating.
Okay, her average last week was four hours, five minutes a day,
down 31% from the week before, which was which we're rocking about six hours a day.
Oh, my God.
That's terrible.
Yeah.
Look, there's needs.
Imagine if when you were a teenager,
the internet knocked to your parents.
I know.
Oh, my God.
The chat rooms I was in.
Imagine.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
She spent 15 hours on TikTok last week.
What?
Wow.
That's crazy.
The week before, 18 hours on TikTok.
19 and a half.
That was our isolation week where we were all just sat at home.
Yeah, well, that's fine.
Feeling like sacks of shit, but.
Maybe you need to put a limit on it.
You can put app limits.
Yeah, I know you can, eh?
Yep.
You can go an hour a day.
Producer Jared spent nine hours 28 a day on his phone.
Jared!
And that's only up 5% from the week before.
Yeah.
I really have no idea where that came from.
Does it have a breakdown?
Because it shows you the apps that's in it, that's using it.
There's a lot in social.
A lot in Safari incognito mode.
Yeah.
Nine hours.
Private browsing seems to have had a lot of that.
You're watching the wrong stuff.
It's taking you hammering.
You've got to close your ranks somehow, Tim.
Wow.
Oh, well, good for you, mate.
Good for you.
I had personally a great weekend, but for women around the world, not a great one.
No.
Truly.
Terrible.
No, ma'am.
Yeah.
Truly outrageous.
However.
But as I say, I had a lot of good food this weekend.
Yeah, personally.
Personally.
Great weekend.
Gender-wise, not stoked.
No.
It's a toughie.
What a crap one.
America, eh?
It's getting more and more like the actual Handmaid's Tale every day.
Yeah.
It actually is.
Yeah.
I think even Margaret Atwood said that, didn't she?
She came out and said...
I think she said that about three things ago.
Yeah. And it feels like it about three things ago. Yeah.
And it feels like it's not slowing down.
No.
Good Lord.
Not good.
Well, that was a great start.
Yeah, real good.
Not much to say about it, is there?
It's just outrageous.
This week on the road, we've got more Bangers Bingo.
Yes.
We'll be in Tauranga Tuesday.
Wellington on Wednesday for our Bangers Bingo. So get We'll be in Tauranga Tuesday, Wellington on Wednesday
for our Bangers Bingo.
So get a team in.
You said Wellington's going to be cold.
My hometown.
Yeah, I think there's a few storms
coming this week.
A bit more cold weather
for the South Island as well.
What's the weather for Tauranga doing?
Because are we walking up the Mount?
I'm not walking up there
unless it's infinite invis visibility, you know?
Unless it's going to look good on the ground.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Tuesday, cloudy.
I mean, that does give us a lot of even light.
Good lighting, but then the beach doesn't look good.
The visibility, yeah.
I want to be able to see all down the coast, you know?
Yeah.
We'll just go to the pub instead, I reckon.
Yeah.
Sure.
I reckon.
Get some hot chips.
Get a Copenhagen cone and hit it. All right. The top six is coming up on the show. Yeah. We'll just go to the pub instead, I reckon. Yeah. Sure. Get some hot chips. Get a Copenhagen cone and hit it.
All right.
The top six is coming up on the show.
Yeah.
Eden Park has said thanks, no thanks to some school balls being held there.
Yeah, quite last minute too.
Yeah.
And I thought, it always blows my mind when schools are having their school balls at places
like Eden Park.
Well, you don't know it, but there's actually a big, there's big function rooms right up the top of the stadium.
Oh, no, I know that there's function rooms.
I just can't believe school children think they need Eden Park for a school ball.
Oh, yeah, but they're big schools, aren't they?
Yeah.
It's not mine school college.
Gosh, no.
Where was your school ball?
School hall.
Yeah.
Where we had assembly.
Mine was in the Wellington Town Hall.
Oh. Oh. Oh. La, la, la, la, la. Savage. School hall? Yeah. Where we had assembly? Mine was in the Wellington Town Hall.
Ooh.
Oh, la, la, la, la, la.
Savage. It was James Bond themed.
Down, down, down.
Did you do a joint school ball with a boys school?
No, we used to do your form.
No, no, your discos, like your dancers would have joint,
but your balls you'd take a date from whatever school.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Good fun.
These schools now looking for a venue.
Yeah, so I've got the top six places you can have a school ball.
All right, next on the show.
We want to talk about healthy eating habits.
On a Monday.
Come on.
Give me a break.
I've got to ease into it.
God, me this weekend.
Outrageous.
All right.
Play. ZDM's F. Outrageous. All right. Well, according to this survey,
three in five US adults, United States,
those guys,
can't stand them, honestly, at this point,
have attempted a traditional diet in their lifetime.
58%.
I would have thought all of them.
I would have thought more.
Same. I reckon it would be more in New Zealand. 58%. I would have thought all of them. I would have thought more. Same.
I reckon it would be more in New Zealand.
We love a diet.
We love a healthy choice that's looking after
yourself. Yeah. We love a Jenny Craig.
We love a crash diet, like a
month before we need to lose the weight. Yes.
Knowing we'll put it back on in
two days and more.
Oh, actually, just on that, you know how
we've got a formal event coming up?
I put on my suit yesterday.
Fits.
The pants do, but I must have bulked up.
Oh, wow, this is a brag.
You chat.
This is a big brag, a humble brag.
I'm just my upper.
No, my upper.
No, my personal trainer said to me,
oh, I saw Fletch in the gym yesterday.
And I said, oh, yeah.
She said, he's been lifting a lot of weights recently.
Oh, he's all about the weights.
She knows you as a cardio boy.
Yeah, because I can't do cardio because of my long COVID.
Yeah, so you're getting a bit jacked.
So I can't do any, yeah, cardio.
So I'm just, all I'm doing is weights and I can't fit my shirt.
She said you were doing the double fly.
Oh, that's the worst one.
Why is that the worst one?
That hurts.
Yeah, so I've got to buy a new shirt.
But the pants are fine. What're going to get absolutely ripped. Yeah, so I've got to buy a new shirt but the pants are fine
but it's three weeks away
and the pants
are just perfect
but there's no give.
Are you going to do
a Kim K?
A Kim Kardashian,
what does she eat?
The cleanest meat
and vegetables
and that was it
to get into
the Marilyn Monroe dress.
Yeah, no.
The cleanest meat.
I mean,
at this stage I may need more pants,
depending on how this next two weeks goes.
I need a whole new wardrobe at the moment.
I've been packing some stuff up.
I don't need it looking me in the eye every day.
Oh, yeah.
As I'm searching for the pants that fit.
I don't need that stuff.
It's vacuum packed.
Consider yourself vacuum packed.
Anyway, so lots of people doing diets.
I'm going to Frank Casey's suit hire.
Are you?
Are you?
Only the best for this beautiful boy.
Are you going to get a blue tuxedo?
I'm probably going to say I'm going until 10 minutes before
and then just be like, I don't feel well.
I've got COVID and then I don't have to go.
He absolutely will.
You will too.
Mm-hmm.
Well, okay.
You're most welcome.
Anyway, 80% of people that have been on a diet
say they very quickly revert to their old eating habits.
Do we need a study to tell us that?
On a Monday, everyone's like,
I'm going to eat good this week.
And then by Wednesday, Tuesday.
For like a year now,
because you know, I was a big keto girl for ages.
Loved it.
And then it's unsustainable.
You can't keep it.
And then bread happened. And then cro's unsustainable You can't keep And then bread And then bread happened
And then croissants
Yeah
On a Sunday
And every time I go
Every time I go and do seven days
I forget that I haven't told them
I'm not keto
So I always get a keto meal
And everyone sits there
With their like
Chicken filo pie
And I've got a
Can of mince
And some broccoli
And nothing that even
Remotely represents a grain.
Yeah.
Well, don't feel bad from the study, I think.
Don't diet.
That's what we can take from this.
Life's too short.
Life's too short.
Everybody gets back into the old habits.
Eat the croissant.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Silly little boys.
Silly little boys.
It is so silly, silly, silly that Silly Little Pole, Silly Little Pole.
Silly Little Pole, Silly Little Pole.
Silly Little Pole.
Well, today's Silly Little Pole supermarket etiquette here with the trolleys and the self-serve checkouts.
Yeah, can you take them through there?
Is that a trolley-friendly zone?
It's normally the half trolley that people will take through there.
Oh, absolutely.
You've got only a half trolley.
Oh, my God.
You couldn't have a big, deep pack-and-save one, for example.
Nah.
Those are like trucks.
My local supermarket has banned them now, I think.
They've got a no.
Really?
The half trolleys used to perfectly slide over the shelf,
and I think that was on purpose.
Right.
And so you could just unload them.
You wouldn't have too much stuff.
Yeah.
I don't think it matters as long as you've got the amount of items, be it 12 or 15.
No, but there's no item limit on the self-serve.
12.
Yes, there is.
No, there's not.
It's 12.
Yes, there is.
What are you doing your weekly shop?
Okay, you wouldn't take your weekly shop through, but there's no item limit at the self-serve.
Not at mine.
It definitely is.
I thought it was 12.
It's 12.
No, it's not.
Some places, 15.
What do you shop at again?
Why do I do New World and Countdown?
25 at a self-serve, apparently, according to Jarrod.
No, our New World is 12.
I think they're all different,
because I remember looking at mine,
and there's never been a sign.
Do you think it's a space situation?
Because you can only load up that small little weight bit.
And if everybody had a trolley in there, it would be impossible to get to the end one
if that was the one that was available to you.
Yes, and it's supposed to be faster.
Yeah.
So is it okay to use a self-service machine if you have a trolley?
60% of people said yes.
40% said no.
Melissa, if they don't have a sign saying no trolleys, then it's fair game.
I always try to get on the end, though, so I can put my trolley out of the way of others.
Yeah.
Shelby says, but only when it's me.
No one else should do this.
Which is very much everybody's opinion of anything to do
in a supermarket, eh?
No one else should be doing this
but I do.
Everyone's poking avocados
and propping the tops off.
They shouldn't be doing that.
I do it.
But nobody else should.
They should do it
so I can do it when I arrive.
Yeah, because they're ruining
the avocados
but I'm obviously
getting the best avocado.
Of course, yeah.
Got a bit selfish, haven't we?
Yeah, self-serving.
What do you want us to take an inward sort of look to you?
A bit of a reflection upon our actions.
Maybe we should be.
It would be a good time.
I also think it's a little too late.
Yeah.
We ruined everything.
Yeah, I reckon we just ride this one out.
Yeah.
Earth 2.0 though, no more mistakes.
Tash says,
Pack and Save literally have ones that are made to take trolleys.
Yeah.
I think it depends on how big the supermarket is and the size.
Our local Pack and Save has self-service,
but it's in West Auckland,
so you'd rather be self-servicing if you don't know.
No, the Pack and Saves, I've been to have had them.
Yeah.
They were the last to get them.
Maybe how they do it, pack your bags.
Remember when they just said, we're not going to do that anymore?
No, that's up to you.
And they just slide the stuff down the air.
Excuse me?
How rude.
Oh, you pack and you save.
Alexandra says, as long as you don't have tons of stuff
and always keep it neatly out of the way,
but if it doesn't have a 12 items or under sign,
why not get in there?
Yeah, do it.
Why not get in there?
And Hannah said, our self-service is there for peeps who have a small number of items or undersigned, why not get in there? Yeah, do it. Why not get in there? And Hannah said, self-service is there for peeps who have a small number of items
so you don't have to wait behind someone with a full trolley.
Yes.
So again, you're half trolley only.
You don't take a full trolley through.
Half trolley and not like a bulging half trolley.
Not a Christmas shop.
No.
Half trolleys are amazing.
They're where it's at.
I remember when they introduced those.
You remember when only a few supermarkets had them?
Yeah.
I remember we talked about them.
Yes.
Just like, what are these amazing inventions?
Because you don't want to carry a basket.
No.
It's too much for a basket.
It's too much.
And the basket can get heavy.
In the crook.
In the elbow, yeah.
It's pulling it.
Oh, that's so heavy.
Especially with the wine.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
A few wines, a few big bottles of Fuzzy Pop.
I mean, that's adding Three to four litres
Yeah
Right
That's nuts
Yeah
So there you go
Use it but
Don't abuse it
Bingo
Play
ZM's Fletch
Vaughn and Hayley
Fletch's birthday
Last week
And I must say
An absolute present
From left field
Oh
This was
From
The people from
Illumination Studios
who make your favourite animated...
You don't like animated movies.
You know, I love the Minions.
You've never seen The Lion King?
I'd never seen The Lion King until about...
What?
Four years ago, five years ago.
Oh, my God.
I sat down and made him watch The Lion King.
Have you watched the original Cinderella and Pocahontas?
No, no.
Pocahontas probably wouldn't get made that way
No
I don't think it would
I don't think it would
I don't know
Many of the
Pre-1960s
Walt Disney animated movies
Probably get made the same
Yeah
Way
Well that's why they're remaking them all
Yeah
Well the new Minions movie
The Rise of Gru
Is out on
It must be Thursday
The 30th of June
Monday
Tuesday
Yeah Thursday
Yeah
And you love a Minion
He's a big Minions boy But not like I'm not like He's got a stack of Thursday, the 30th of June. Yeah, Thursday. And you love a minion.
He's a big minions boy.
I'm not like your auntie that's still... He's got a stack of tires outside his house
and he's painted them yellow.
Oh, yeah.
With blue overalls on.
So they look like minions.
But I'm not like an auntie that posts minion memes.
I think you've sent me a couple of minion memes.
Big, big, big auntie minion memes.
The best minion memes are the ones that have nothing to do with Minions.
Like a picture of a Minion and it's like,
Blue Lives Matter or All Lives Matter.
A Minion would not take that political stance.
No.
I've never seen any of the Minion World films.
Oh, they're so great.
They're so great.
Well, they started out as like the adorable,
marketable part of Despicable Me.
Yeah.
But then everybody
just fell in love with them.
Yeah.
Do you remember that time
you won a couple of movies?
You won a Minion.
We won Minions
in the claw machine.
Yes.
It was a great day.
It was a great day.
Centre City?
Yeah, it was a great day.
Where is that Minion now?
That quality Minion?
I don't know.
I think my Minion
got killed by the dog.
Yeah, I was going to say.
Major Murray has eaten it.
This was out of absolute left field.
I got this sent to my hungover state on Saturday morning.
The studio that make Minions.
Illumination!
Have been doing some artwork, some pieces.
Yeah.
And it was all...
New Zealand's biggest Minion fan, Fletch, got a hand-drawn birthday image.
It is so cute.
And so it's me wearing my headphones with a microphone
and there's my cats there and there's Minions.
And you're wearing your yellow t-shirt and your blue hat.
I know, it's amazing.
Yeah.
You can literally go and look at it right now
on FEHZM on Instagram.
That cat gave me, your cat gave me that look
when I saw it last week.
It's very fitting.
It's very,
it nailed that look.
But yeah,
it's very cool.
Oh, it tickled me.
It cured my hangover,
my birthday hangover.
Yes.
It's very good.
Amazing, yeah.
Oh, so cute.
When's the movie out?
Thursday.
Thursday.
Are you going to go
and watch it
and freak out?
I think so
yeah
oh well
take yourself
on a nice little date
that'd be cute
we'll show you
some popcorn
yeah
I'm more of a
Maltesers
oh you're a Maltesers boy
oh yeah
that's fair enough
yeah
popcorn's a bit much
popcorn's a bit much
a bit much it really grinds a bit much. A bit much.
It really grinds the teeth, doesn't it?
It really gets in there.
And buttery,
and afterwards,
you always regret eating the whole box.
It is too much.
Look at that sort of roof coating of butter.
So much waste too,
because half of it just gets left in the box
and put on the floor,
or tipped all over the floor,
and ends up up the vacuum.
How much per volume do they vacuum popcorn-wise
out of the heaps?
Cinemas, eh?
Must be a lot.
You'd be churning through vacuum cleaners.
It would absolutely destroy them.
Yeah.
You'd be getting a new one every week.
And then there'd be the discussion of maybe we just buy a decent vacuum cleaner
rather than keep buying these shitty vacuum cleaners.
No, no, no, these ones are fine.
No, these are fine, these are fine.
We'll place them every month.
These are fine, these are fine. We place them every month. These are fine. These are fine.
I didn't actually know that Auckland had been rated the world's most livable city.
I think it was in, was it last year?
Yeah. It was when everybody was like riddled with COVID.
And we didn't have it.
And restrictions.
COVID wasn't in Auckland.
So bar a couple of lockdowns, it was like business as per.
Yeah.
Therefore, liveable.
Well, it's not anymore.
God, we've dropped.
We've absolutely dropped.
Auckland has dropped from first, most liveable city in the world,
to 34th.
Oh.
Same thing, basically, now that we're just behind,
because now we're in the...
Jesus, Adam, you did 34.
That's embarrassing.
That's dropping like a stone.
We're winners.
It's the biggest drop.
The second biggest drop, actually.
Wellington was fourth and is now 50th.
Oh, okay.
How?
How has it become so?
Is it because we can't afford a cabbage and we've all got COVID?
Bit of that.
Yeah, I'd say a bit of that.
So it looks at...
And petrol's like $3.25 for 91.
It looks at education, infrastructure, health care, political stability.
Oh, there you go.
Crime rates and culture and environment.
Is there political unrest?
And I haven't heard about it think, has been a little bit.
Probably the parliament protests.
Those clowns.
Took some time.
Taking it down.
Tiny, tiny, tiny minority.
We don't worry about them.
It's both New Zealand and Australia that we've just absolutely bombed.
Really?
So who's number one now?
Okay, let me just have a look.
Guesses.
Guesses before. Oslo?
It'll be some European country.
Or Scandinavian.
Vienna in Austria.
Then Denmark's
Copenhagen. A little close to
nuclear war for me.
Zurich in Switzerland in third.
Calgary and then
Vancouver in Canada.
Melbourne is 10th now
German cities have had the biggest improvements
Frankfurt
Well it's named after a delicious sausage
I can't like it so much
I'm good as I have to live
And then it's just a hot dog
That leapt
What?
What?
Too much bread
I'd just rather eat the Frankfurter
Too much bread
Do what you want What's wrong with you? But I'm just saying eat the frankfurter. Too much bread. Do what you want.
What's wrong with you?
But I'm just saying that it's delicious.
Yeah.
Chopped onions, mustard, tomato, crispy bun.
You know, like the bun me bun would be a great bun for a big fat fritzes.
Hell yeah, crispy and just super soft.
Yeah.
Now I want a hot dog.
Good work, Fletch.
Now we want hot dogs.
Thanks, Frank Fletch.
I don't know if you're going to get one in a city that's dropped in its livability ranking so high.
No.
Now you need to go to Hamburg.
You need to go anywhere in France, Canada.
Oh, wait.
Don't talk about other German cities that have brought us delicious treats.
Yum.
The Italian town of pizza.
Yep.
Just ahead of the Italian town spaghetti bolognese.
Your favourite sound is the town
Carbonara.
You love a creamy
white pasta. I love a creamy white pasta.
There's nothing wrong with that. It's because you're a creamy white
man.
Play ZM's Fletch
Vodanali. Play
ZM. From the yummy ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Excuse my giggles.
I really feel like you're hitting smooth today.
Smooth.
Grab a rich smooth.
And I like it.
I'm six hours, you know.
Six hours?
I've ordered a big round of coffees.
McLean's college principal Steve Steve Hargrave, said,
it's not fair.
Life's not fair.
That's what he'd say to someone if they said it's not fair at school.
Well, life's not fair, so it's good to prepare.
Principal Smith over here.
Oh, I run a tight ship.
He said they got a call out of the blue on Thursday
from the catering person informing them that all balls at Eden Park, which theirs was booked for five weeks,
have been cancelled due to one school ball ruining it forever.
Who was the school?
I don't know.
They won't say.
So I'm assuming they let them out and then everything just goes bad on the streets outside.
Is that why?
Yeah, and they'll be sneaking in booze and getting drunk.
Yeah.
Do they have an afterball on site or do you think...
I thought all of those were like, no school wants anything to do with an afterball.
No, no, no.
Oh, that's off the books.
Yeah, that'll be off the books.
So they don't have it at the same venue.
So they've just said no more balls ever.
Why?
Well, for the foreseeable, yeah.
Which is crazy because it must have been a good moneymaker for them, right?
Oh, yes.
It wasn't going to be used that night and they could...
Well, maybe that's not...
Booking it out's not a problem.
It's just the raucous behaviour.
Well, they've got to find somewhere else now all these schools, don't they?
Last minute.
Yeah. They do. So I've got the find somewhere else now, all these schools, don't they? Last minute. Yeah.
They do.
So I've got the top six places
that you can have your school ball
because it always blows my mind
when schools have the money to hire
like a proper function centre.
Yeah, well, you and I went to like public hall schools,
didn't we?
We did.
I went to a very rich school
and had a very rich formal.
Well, you had your Wellington Town Hall.
Wellington Town Hall.
Yeah, ooh la la.
Had a big photo on the stairs.
Mum and Dad came.
I had to dance with Dad.
Mum had to dance with my partner, Louis.
Why did your parents come?
Why did your parents come?
This is a seventh form ball.
You're like leaving ball.
I don't know, it was very old fashioned.
Oh, for our leavers dinner,
we even got drunk at Villagrad's.
Yeah, gorgeous.
Great.
Good stuff.
We shouldn't have been,
but everybody that was there
had a parental guardian.
Okay, so you're allowed
to have a couple.
So technically they were allowed
to buy us a few drinks, I think.
Is that legal?
I don't know.
I think so.
It was under the old drinking laws.
Yeah, I think it was
if you had a parent.
I don't think those laws existed.
Right.
Cool.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
What's the statute of limitations on a place losing their alcohol license? No. You're right. Cool, cool, cool, cool. What's the statute of limitations on a place that lives in the Iraq?
I hold license.
We got you.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
I got the top six places to have a school ball.
Number six, the local rugby club.
They'll be done by then.
They'll be done by then.
Classic, yeah.
Pay someone some cash to be on.
Oh, no, because it's a school ball.
There won't be a need for the barkeep.
Oh, I was going to say a $5 handle.
A $5 handle of fizz.
They could pour you a lemonade
out of the fountain thing.
Yeah, good.
But the syrup's kind of
running out
so it's mostly just
carbonated syrup.
I hate when a place
isn't on top of their syrup
and the soda gun.
Or even if it's just
the ratios of it on the piss
and it's way too syrupy.
Like I think,
I was at a bar
and I had a gin and tonic.
We had it with dinner, a friend and I,
and they'd obviously, there was no tonic syrup
and it was just like soda water, but like a tinge of tonic.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I was like, no, why bother?
Why bother?
I know.
Well, number five on the list will never do you wrong with a pour.
Number five on the list of the top six places to have your school ball,
the RSA.
Yeah.
The local Raza.
And you've got the pokies.
Have your ear chewed off by some old mate.
Oh, they'll go in one half.
You can have the dance floor half ride.
Where they usually have the meat raffles and the bingo.
You can play some pool as well if you get bored.
Yeah, darts.
Yeah, darts.
Are you still a RSA member?
You still go to your RSA?
I am an RSA member, but I don't really have like a local close to me RSA.
Okay.
Hmm.
Yeah.
RIP. Good food that time we went. GoodSA. Okay. Hmm. Yeah. RIP.
Good food that time we went.
Good food.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Humble.
Simple.
Number four on the list of the top six places to have a school ball, a post-World War II
community hall.
You see these dotted around the country?
Rural?
Yeah.
I myself grew up next to one, the Kitei Hall.
Kitei.
They're always dark though, aren't they?
Dark and they've got lots of photos on the walls.
You always drive past them and you think,
God, that must smell musty.
Every time I drive past them, I'd love to have a look in.
And they're always in the middle of nowhere.
Like, even when they built those,
there can't have been many people around.
That was the idea of them, though,
because it was a community hall and these people,
it was farming communities and they were so spread out and these old mates had been to World War II
and were starting a family and their wives had maybe been involved
in the war effort and they wanted to keep that feeling of community going.
Right.
So they'd gather there and, I don't know, trash talk the Nazis.
Fantastic.
After World War II.
But, yeah, they're still around and every time I drive past them,
I'm like, ooh, I'd love to have a look in there.
Yeah.
Because you know it's got one of those steel wall urinals.
I feel like they only hold AA meetings now.
I kind of sort of imagine about what else happens.
Many at 21sts.
All of my family have had their 21sts in the same hall.
I've been to a 21st in a town hall.
I don't know.
Community hall.
Community hall.
But they might do indoor bowls there.
They might roll out a turf and do indoor bowls.
Oh, sweet.
Lovely local dance.
Number three on the list of the top six places to have a school ball,
the school gymnasium.
Oh, yeah.
It's not quite the assembly hall.
It's got the wooden floor.
It's got the volleyball markings.
It's also got bad memories of the beep test.
Yeah.
Oh, God, no, you can't do it at school.
There's the showers there.
There's the toilets that are on.
And you could have a romp.
Who's having a shower in the middle of their formal?
How hard are you dancing?
Well, you could be very sweaty.
Yeah.
Or you could have a romp on the crash mats.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, now they're on board.
Now they're on board.
People romping at the school boards.
Did your school always have a,
oh, you were to an all-boys school.
Oh, you were to an all-girls school.
It might still happen.
What?
Did you always have the rumour of the couple that
did it between the crash mats?
No. No. Not at Queen Margaret
College. I remember there was the rumour of the
couple that snuck between
two stacked crash mats that you use
for high jump. Got in
between them. So one day I was like,
I just don't believe the physics of it, so I climbed
in between two mats as a one-man operation.
Not for a week.
Oh, Jesus.
Not to play with myself.
But then just kind of like tried to lift a mat.
And I just thought, even though I had no idea how it worked.
Right.
Sex.
But why didn't they just go to a toilet?
Why didn't they just go to a toilet?
Yeah.
Just didn't get caught in the toilet.
Oh.
Someone could walk in.
Between two thrusting, humping mats.
Well, I don't know.
They would flap together.
Number two on the list of the top six places to have a school ball are the library.
Push all the books.
Push all the books.
Right, okay.
Move all the shelves.
Get rid of all the books.
And that's generally quite a big area.
Oh, but you'll be shuffling on that quiet carpet.
Yes.
And someone will be like.
It's a bit dense in there, I think.
Someone will have Dolly Doctor open in the corner
reading the sealed section about...
Dolly!
About their bits and pieces.
And number one on the list of the top six places to have a school ball,
why not have it in that old abandoned warehouse
with horrendous asbestos issues just down the road?
Perfect.
No one's using it.
Red-stickered.
Yes.
So it'll be cheap.
It's already got a theme
Yeah
Post apocalyptic
Yeah
Zombie themed formal
That'd be cute
Yes
Run with it
Run with it
Do with it
It's about time you consider being creative
Get off your iPads
And start being a bit more creative
With your school balls
That's today's top six
A man has lost
And I
I don't
Actually have only read that he lost it.
I don't know if he's got it back.
He lost the details of an entire city.
You might be thinking, how does a man lose the details of an entire city?
He had the details of everyone that lived in the city.
Right.
So, like, rates. He worked for. Right. So, like, rates.
He worked for the council.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All sorts of personal information.
And he went out for a few drinks on the way home from work.
And he lost a USB stick,
which held the personal data of an entire city.
And looking at the size of the city,
it would be the equivalent of someone from, say,
Christchurch Council going out and losing it.
But how many people?
I think it was just under 500,000.
Yeah, it was just under, that's a Wellington-sized.
A Wellington-sized city, yeah.
Or bigger.
I don't know, I can't remember how big Wellington is.
Very small, everyone knows everyone.
Well, I just know that it's got a big thing on the weather.
So if you've got a big thing on the weather.
If you've got a big thing on the weather.
If you've got a big flyover on the weather, you're a big deal.
Capital City. Yeah.
When Napier Hastings
dipped their toe in having a flyover in the
weather. Yeah, I don't know if I was on board
with that. No, you weren't. And I'll tell you who else wasn't.
Anyone over 50.
Skip it.
So was this the only USB?
There was no backup USB. No, no, no. There's
at work. It's on the computer, but he had a duplicate.
Right.
And he just dropped it out of his pocket or something.
So it's...
Yeah.
He's got it shrunk and lost it.
Yeah.
So it was encrypted and password locked, but...
Oh, okay.
But, I mean, would you want it to get into 465,000 people's bank account details,
addresses,
birthdays,
and full names.
Oh, you could do
some real identity fraud
with that.
Absolutely.
And also,
if you had the skills,
you could definitely
get into that
if it wasn't
a strong password.
Yeah.
There's a fair bit of
shenanigans to be
had with that
with nearly half a million
people's full information
and bank account details.
Password 1234.
I love when you read these stories,
like someone that works for the government
leaves a folder on the bus,
and you're just like, huh, something I'd do.
Yeah, or like the key to the office or something.
That is the only one.
They lose it.
Yeah.
Misplace it.
You get the whole locks changed,
speaking from experience.
Well, we want to know this morning
the most important thing you've ever misplaced.
Maybe temporarily, maybe forever.
Maybe it was lost and gone.
Right.
But it was something.
Because I know just before you get married,
you can't go and get your marriage certificate six months before.
No.
You've got to get it within QE.
Right.
You know, of getting married.
Okay.
But also, that's just a piece of paper.
So you could totally lose it.
Did you lose it?
No, no.
Oh, Jesus.
No, I picked it up
and literally held it with two hands.
Like a winning lotto ticket.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then got home
and gave it to Sade
and immediately like,
No, thank you.
Not my problem.
It's like birth certificates.
Do you still need them for anything?
I don't even think I've got
I'm pretty sure
mum's got that
in a drawer somewhere
It's still in the
orphanage in Russia
Mum's big ring binder
Mum's big ring binder
full of everything
Yes
So when I count
for my IRD number
I still ring mum
Man
You are 40 years old
you should have
your IRD number
You need your IRD number
I've got it now
but like
in my 20s
I was like
Mum I'm going for my IRD number And she'd be IRD number. I've got it now, but in my 20s, I was like...
And she'd be like, hold on.
You'd hear the writing desk go up and the big folder come out
and she'd have it in the front.
You got a pen?
That's because she fraudulently used my name to dodge taxes in the 80s.
So I'm just saying, farm and say.
What?
Who's this?
Huh?
What?
What?
We want to know from you this morning,
when you lost something important,
whether it was a USB stick full of an entire city's information.
Oh, God.
Or just something.
A ledger.
Yeah, super important.
Maybe it was a work thing.
You lost a work laptop.
Oh, yeah.
I'll just check with Sean if I can tell that story,
and then I'll tell that story when we come back.
It's a good story.
Hopefully we can tell you.
Yeah, when did you lose something important?
Maybe you were in charge of something?
I'm trying to, I mean, I'm just so vigilant.
Yeah, right.
You don't misplace things?
No, though one New Year's I did have too many drinks
and I showed everyone my engagement ring.
It was the first
New Year's after I got engaged. I was showing
it around and then God knows where it went
and I lost it for a good week.
And it turned up on their windowsill.
There'd be a lot of people losing their
wedding ring and having to maybe cover it up and get
a new one so their partner doesn't find out.
Oh yeah. Or an engagement ring.
I didn't order it again. We're talking about when you've
lost something important.
A man in Japan lost an entire city's details of 465,000 residents.
Bank details, date of birth, full name.
They're the whole shebang bank.
Is that a list that exists in the world?
Yeah, I don't know.
You know, like, is there a list that we're on with bank account details?
That a city official would have details?
Like, the IRD in New Zealand
would have it,
but maybe they do
like a regional tax thing as well.
they're not giving USB sticks
to employees on Friday night
to lose and pass.
I had this happen to me once.
I had a brand new police station
built in Auckland Central.
And so I had my old police station
and instead of clearing out
all the very important information
like a list of 67,000 names
of people with firearms
and their addresses,
I just left it in the building.
You bloody turkey.
What did you do that for?
I thought you were a fool.
Idiot, eh?
And then it was stolen.
Yeah.
Wow.
Dumb.
And then did you pull somebody over
for speeding and they said
your time would be better spent
cleaning out those offices
of all those firearms,
license details?
That's all I've been getting ever since.
Yeah, I bet. That's all I've been getting ever since. Yeah, I bet.
That's all I've been getting ever since.
I bet.
But lots of people misplacing things.
Very important things.
Yeah, and irreplaceable things as well.
Anyone misplaced their child?
No stories of misplacing the child as yet.
No one's owned up.
I think they get them back.
So Patsy didn't message in?
When did she misplace?
Did she leave you?
In the mall. You know when you're
a kid and you just lose sight of them?
Yeah. And you're screaming.
And then you get someone to put on the...
Is anyone missing a child? You do have
big leash child energy. Yeah.
They didn't have leashes in the 90s as much.
I had a leash. Yvonne had a leash.
It saved him from being drowned.
We were in Whangamata
and we went down to... Did you have a leash? Word got round 1980s Whangamata and we went down to the... Did you have a leash?
Word got round, 1980s Whangamata, that someone had caught a marlin
and they were stringing it up down at the wharf to weigh it.
So everybody was going down.
So Dad and his mates went down and my mum was like,
take Vaughan or take the kids with you.
And I'm pretty sure my dad would have been like...
Anyway, he did.
All right, stick him on the leash.
He was looking at the marlin and he had the leash around his hand
and I just walked off the side of the wharf.
And his arm just went up like that.
And I was like, whoa, AJ Hackett styles.
Wow, okay.
Yeah, sometimes I see like a parent with a kid on a leash
and I always think about that story of you.
Big leash energy.
Wow.
I should have been leashed, but I wasn't.
Yeah, and I know some people are anti-leashing a child,
but I'm all about
leashing a child
well you're not a dog
are you
I'm pretty close
at least a dog
can swim
if it falls off the wall
let's take some calls
Belinda
what did you lose
that was important
hey
you know
after our wedding
my
one of our groomsmen
accidentally took
my husband
Jake home
you know after a few drinks oh yeah and they One of our groomsmen accidentally took my husband's jacket home,
you know, after a few drinks.
Yeah, yeah.
And they were catching the bus, and as boys do,
they were just having a bit of a play fight in the grass on the side of the road.
Sorry.
Sorry.
If you've just married a man,
you shouldn't be play fighting with another man in the grass
on the night of your wedding.
Anyway, so the marriage certificate fell out on the side of the road.
And we were like, oh, we didn't know where it was.
The next day, we were looking for it for a couple of days.
And we sort of resigned to the fact that we didn't have the marriage certificate.
Anyway, about three or four days later, a road worker turned up at our house and was like,
I think this belongs to you.
Oh, wow.
So we're really lucky.
So what would you have, you would have had to get a whole new certificate
and get it re-signed and witnessed and stuff?
I don't know.
I don't know, but yeah, I don't think it would have been ideal anyway.
Yeah, because getting it signed and everything.
I should know this, I'm a celebrant.
I should know this.
You're failing this.
Isn't there two?
I think there's two. There's two couples. I should know this. You're failing this. Isn't there two? I think there's two.
Yeah, right.
And then you take one
and then the celebrant
sends it off to the office.
Isn't it a coincidence though
that where these two men
chose to have a play fight
on the side of the road
in the long grass
is probably exactly
where that road worker
decided to have a midday nap.
Yeah, gorgeous spot.
Well deserved nap.
It is.
Belinda, thank you.
Anonymous,
what did you lose
that was important?
Is that me? Hi. That is you, Anonymous. Good morning, Anonymous. It is. Belinda, thank you. Anonymous, what did you lose that was important? Is that me?
Hi.
That is your Anonymous.
Good morning, Anonymous.
Good morning.
I lost a client's engagement ring.
Wait, what's your line of work?
I was at the time a jeweler.
Oh, wow.
I am no longer a jeweler, but not because of that.
Better than a sex worker.
You wouldn't want to lose your clients.
Well, I mean, they shouldn't be coming to you for it
when they're wearing one, should they?
Or saying, can you hold this while you service me?
So how did you lose it?
So it was a really good family friend of mine.
I was in the middle of my apprenticeship
and it was sort of my first big job.
His wife no longer wore her engagement ring because you know
they designed it when they're really young and so he had decided as a surprise for her he'd get it
remade without her knowing because it was in place at home so he gave it to me um and i as i said was
in the middle of my apprenticeship didn't have a safe or anything so i hid it somewhere really safe
in my flat so that i wouldn't lose it no no one would steal it. And then when he decided what he, like the design he
wanted to do, I couldn't find it.
You're really good at hiding.
Really good. I know.
You're like a squirrel.
It was the worst feeling in the world. I had to ring him and tell him. He was obviously
very upset.
Where? Did you ever find it?
So you never found it? Oh, no, I found it.
So I had just ordered the new diamond for a placement that I had to pay for
as a young friendess.
And I went to get a pencil, my pencil case, in the back of a drawer
and there it was.
Oh, my God.
You diddle.
So what did you do?
Did you go with the new one or the old one?
No, no, no.
Of course I rang him so excited that I had found this bloody ring
because it was very sentimental to them, obviously.
And so I returned it to him.
And luckily, as things always seem to work out,
I had another really good friend that suddenly wanted to get engaged.
So we used a few diamonds.
Wanted a diamond.
Oh, brilliant.
Anonymous.
Amazing story.
Thank you.
I'll send messages in.
We had a cleaner lose the master key to a 12-floor building apartment.
And so the possibility was that person could use that key to rob any of those apartments.
Oh, because the master key works in every door, doesn't it?
In every single door of an apartment.
$25,000 to get the whole place re-locked.
Like, get new locks.
But see, is that on them?
Oh, because you can't have a backup of the master key
because the whole idea is...
It's a master.
It's a master, so that can be used.
Oh, wow.
Oh, 25 grand.
Is it an insurance cover?
I guess so, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess it's insurance.
Hopefully. Yeah. I just it's insurance. Hopefully.
Yeah.
I just quickly mentioned that story before
about a laptop being left in a strip club.
Yeah.
Well, you didn't say strip club.
Well, I just thought I'd add that in now.
I just saw someone I knew in Wellington.
I was like, hey, man, what are you doing?
It's early.
And he's like, I just came back
and I just realised I've left my work laptop
in a strip club.
Straight from work to the club.
How did you go to a strip club?
Hey, what are you doing going to a strip club?
Drop your bags home first.
Don't give me the whole, the beers
went there for a beer excuse
because the beers are expensive.
Anyway, Ian, drop it or leave it at work.
Anyway, three days later they found it.
Brilliant.
That laptop could tell some stories.
Lots of passport stories.
Travelling to New Zealand from Canada
on the first flight to LA, I left my passport
in the seat pocket in front of me.
It flew off to Portland before
I realised. It took two days
to get back to me. Everyone said, if you're ever stuck in LA,
you know, you've got so many options.
Disneyland, Universal Studios.
No, I cried straight in my hotel room for two days.
So, whoopsie daisy.
Yeah.
Well, I was reminded on my birthday
what it's like to be in a relationship,
and it was...
Was it the moment that you and I were scooting down the hill
and I was wrapped behind you and you thought,
God, it is nice to have a cuddle every now and then?
On a scooter, no, it wasn't.
Boobies in the back.
Boobies pushing into the back.
No, it wasn't.
So we had a boozy lunch for my birthday on Thursday.
Apologies to anyone in Auckland Central that heard my obnoxious
but lovely friends sing
happy birthday every 10 minutes.
Well, it started out on
the hour and then it increased
to per drink. We kind of
worked out that we were at
the restaurant long enough that if we sung it every
half hour there'd be a new table and sometimes
that table would feel obligated to then send
the birthday boy a drink. Yeah.
That worked like four or five times.
That, by the way, is just a great little hack.
It's a great hack, yeah.
And it's always a good hack if you're going out with friends
just to make up a birthday
because sometimes places will give you a free dessert
for the birthday boy.
Yes, that's right.
You get a free dessert.
Yeah, free dessert, which is a great tip.
It's a rip-off when they write on the plate with chocolate.
Yeah, they do.
They should give you just a bigger cake.
Oh, yeah, because we had a writing
on the plate.
We had a writing on the plate.
It was a little macaron.
And then people were like,
yeah, exactly.
Get a bigger slice of cake.
Well, I wasn't complaining.
It was still free.
Yeah.
Did you lick the plate?
No, I didn't lick the plate.
No, because we'd literally
just come from dessert
and then we arrived somewhere else
and you got dessert.
Always room for a little lick.
So we had a,
I would call it a gigantic eating lunch.
Huge.
It started at 12.30 and I think we were out of there at like 2.33.
Yeah, but the dishes just kept on coming.
A lot of food.
A lot of food.
And so you went home, Vaughn.
I did.
Smart.
And Hayley and my friends, we kept drinking.
And it was, I think it was 9.30 or 10.
Yeah, at your house.
At my house when I was like, let's get everyone out of my house so I can prepare for dinner.
And your neighbours because we were singing Mr. Brightside very loudly.
Yeah, we're very white.
And so I was like, let's go and get some food.
And we'd kind of forgotten because we'd been so full and so hungry that I thought, let's go and get some food.
So we went to the show sponsor, McDonald's, down the road, and they were closed.
I don't know why.
I think maybe there was some COVID sickness or something.
So we went around the corner to the Brian Clint sponsor, KFC.
It's just good to see you're keeping it in family.
We wouldn't dare eat anywhere that wasn't a ZM sponsor.
A ZM sponsor.
So we went to KFC and we were, yeah.
Now, I don't know if Hayley remembers any of this.
Yeah, I remember it, but just.
Because there was a moment where I woke up in the morning
and I was like, oh, I'm hungry.
It's because I didn't eat dinner.
And then I was like, wait, yes, I did.
I had some KFC.
Yes.
But we got there and so I ordered and I got a quarter pack.
And then I said, and Hayley's like, I don't need anything.
Oh my God.
She does, by the way.
And that is when we're all sitting down eating
and that is when I remember what it's like to be in a relationship,
especially with a female.
I don't need anything.
And then they eat half your quarter pack.
I didn't even eat potato and gravy.
You didn't even eat any potato? She left me the potato and ate all the half your quarter pack. I didn't even eat potato and gravy. You didn't even eat any taste.
She left me the potato and ate all the gravy with my chips.
It was so good too.
And then ate the only good bit of chicken.
The other two were the dud bits.
What were those ones?
The dry, bristy ones.
Oh, bristy is always dry.
Yeah.
And I got thigh.
Thigh is the king.
Yeah.
It was so good.
Thigh.
Because I didn't think I needed anything until I smelt the potato and gravy.
And that gravy is so good.
And the fries.
And the chicken.
And then I literally got half a quarter pack.
Yeah, but look how trim you're looking.
I got an eighth pack.
I got an eighth pack.
And I didn't even want to eat the potato because the only good thing is the gravy.
They should just give you a puddle of gravy.
No, no, no, no, no.
They're nothing without each other.
No, no, no.
You need a little bit of something to suck it up.
A tiny bit.
But I was like, yeah, it was unbelievable.
Welcome to Erin's life.
I got that thing done to me.
Yeah.
I don't need anything and I do.
Because you weren't expecting it, because you are in a relationship,
I would know that this was coming so I would over-order
to compensate for the taxing.
But he's out of practice, he's out of practice.
My friend James said that he went to a restaurant once
and there was a little box down the corner of the menu
that said, my girlfriend's not hungry.
And it added an extra bit of fries and something else.
Cool.
And then so you could order that with your order.
Yeah.
And then the girlfriend would eat that.
Yeah.
That's a hot play.
Unbelievable.
Welcome back.
Whereas now I've gone full circle. I do what
is called the dad diet, where you
order less for yourself, knowing
you're going to finish what your kids can't finish.
Yes. Oh, okay. Yeah.
It is by no means
cheaper. Yeah. But it's
just balancing the waste.
You've got two kids, that's never cheap. Never cheap.
Never cheap. Dad, I want
the double cheeseburger. You can't, you. That's never cheap. Never cheap. Never cheap. Dad, I want the double cheeseburger.
You can't.
You're incapable of finishing it.
I want it.
And I'm like, well, actually, I want the double cheeseburger.
So maybe I will let them order the double cheeseburger.
But does Shana ever do this where she will eat your...
Not anymore.
But would she have used to?
She'd have a bit more.
Yeah, right.
But you've got to remember, we're the couple that when we first got together,
we used to get a family pack from Nando's and half a cheesecake. Cheesecake. I should have a bit more. But you've got to remember, we're the couple that when we first got together,
we used to get a family pack from Nando's and half a cheesecake cheesecake and sit in bed and eat it all.
We've never been, we're not backward about coming forward when it comes to eating.
We love our eating.
Well, I have no regrets because I woke up with no hangover.
Which is a modern miracle because when I left, I was like,
here are a bunch of people who are going to be...
Yeah, we were sending you some videos.
We were absolutely screaming.
Well, I'm going to need $7.50 from you.
I'll transfer.
Good.
It's only fair.
This sounds fun.
Last week, there was a conference in Las Vegas called ReMars.
Okay.
A lot of things announced there.
It's a conference that...
Sounds like an email subject line regarding the red planet.
ReMars.
ReMars.
Is it like a technology conference?
Yeah, so it covers the latest in machine learning,
automation, robotics, and space technology.
Okay.
Machine, automation, robotic, space, Mars.
Ah, Mars.
There you go.
And there was an Amazon rep
who was talking about the latest developments in Alexa,
who was their voice.
Yeah, their smart speaker.
Like, Alexa, do this for me.
Alexa, do that for me.
And I don't know who's...
No, it's always, Alexa, what is today's weather?
175 degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Yeah, yeah. How many inches in 84 centimetres? Yeah. What is today's weather? 175 degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Yeah, yeah.
How many inches in 84 centimetres?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Conversions.
That would be the number one use for Alexa in our house.
Or Alexa play the song.
Well, I don't know whose voice it is.
What does Alexa sound like?
Is she Australian?
Is she a real person or a robot?
Because Siri's a real person. It'll be based on a real person.
There's a lot of Siris. I don't know
who Alexa is, but they have in the
past had Samuel L
Jackson lend his voice and been
Alexa voice for a while.
But now they've announced that they're at a point
where they will be able to
mimic the voice of any person, living or dead.
What?
And have them as your Alexa voice.
This is some real deep fake kind of technology, isn't it?
It's creepy, man.
Living or dead.
And all you need, you don't have to like upload them saying every single word.
Yeah.
They just need a minute, one solid minute of them talking.
And then they'll be able to take from that.
So if you had voicemails from your Nana and she's passed
and the collective amount of voicemails was over a minute,
it would be able to piece it together.
Put it all together, upload it.
And Nana could be telling me how many degrees are in.
So at this conference, they're calling it human-like empathy.
At this conference, they showed a video of a kid saying,
hey, Alexa, can grandma finish reading me The Wizard of Oz?
And then the voice comes on and, like, reads you stories.
That is, no, I'm sorry.
That's creepy.
That's too much.
That's creepy.
No, no, no.
That would absolutely freak me out.
Yeah.
I wonder if you could get enough.
As a kid, it would have, but I'd do it now.
I'd totally have my Nana as my Alexa.
And it'd be weird though.
My Nana had one of those really like calming voices.
And it was probably just because she was my Nana.
Oh.
But no.
It was fine.
Lovely Vaughn.
No, I wasn't like that.
Lovely Vaughn.
180 degrees is 350 Fahrenheit.
No, see that's creepy.
I don't want that.
That sounds like a witch who's going to lure me into
her gingerbread house.
Should we be asking
relatives to record
something for what, one or two minutes? One or two minutes
in preparation for their death
or you can use it while they're alive.
I would use someone famous
like get some
concert footage of Freddie Mercury
talking and shove it all together and get him to be like,
you're Alexa.
With his British accent.
It was quite posh.
It was quite posh.
And he had to talk around those big teeth.
Yeah, yeah, but Alexa would learn about the teeth.
Yeah, how the teeth work.
It's very creepy.
Not my dead grandma.
Sorry, Nana, but I don't want you on my device.
No. No.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Which is just panicking about getting stuff to the airport tomorrow,
and I said, well, strap it to the roof of the chimney.
Oh, my God.
Take my car.
It's got way more room than yours.
Oh, no, because I need a valet.
Because of all the mud in it, it's in my car.
It's all through my car.
Also, you've been warned by the finance department here
that you can't just get a valet on the company parking.
Because that's fraud.
No, but here's how I look at it.
I'm imagining you've got a ticket for a three days parking.
No.
What?
Do you not have those anymore?
No, I don't have those anymore.
They ran out.
My plan's falling to bits.
Because I was like, I'll just get them to write it down as parking,
but it's actually that I...
Oh, right.
That's also called fraud.
It's called receipt fraud.
It is.
Playing the system.
But anyway, I'm invincible.
And after the weekend,
I feel even more invincible.
My wife's dad bought a place up north in Pahi,
which is beautiful,
beautiful on the Kaipara Harbour.
Beautiful spot.
Now, we've been up before, but I did check the rain gauge,
and there'd been 145 mils of rain since last time we were up there,
just over a month ago.
So 145 mils of rain.
Yeah, that's a lot.
Soggy.
And five.
So the ground had changed a little bit.
Now, last time we went up there, gosh,
I had fun driving the chimney up and down the property.
Sure.
So this time, Sade's stepdad was there, Pete,
and we'd been out fixing something.
And we were coming back in the chimney and I said,
I'll show you the fun way back.
Now, I didn't give Pete a chance to tell me not to.
Pete's a wise man.
He's lived many years.
So as I pulled on to the steep muddy hill
he said
have you been down here
since Australia so much?
And I said no
and that's when we started
sliding sideways.
Oh my god.
And you know
many people said this
photos never do
a gradient justice
like how steep
something is.
Like you go to Baldwin Street
you've seen the videos
you've seen the photos
it's not like you're standing
at the base of Baldwin Street
in Dunedin
and you're like
holy hell. Yeah. There's not like you're standing at the base of Baldwin Street in Dunedin and you're like, holy hell.
Yeah.
There's a hell of a lean on this.
So, yeah, the photos I put up maybe didn't sell just how steep it was.
So we started sliding.
And then when it came to the corner in the track where you would go
around the corner, we just slid off the front.
Quite a steep drop.
I saw these photos.
We were both very surprised.
As we were sliding, we started going over.
He's like, do all you can to keep it straight because if we go over sideways,
we're probably going to roll because it was all happening.
Oh, my gosh.
As we were sliding through mud.
So you nearly killed your father-in-law.
Yes.
Well, my stepfather-in-law, but I still have a father-in-law,
so I've got a backup, you know.
I've got two. He's disposable. Who needs two? Yeah, yeah, yeah. If one of them goes, but I still have a father-in-law, so I've got a backup, you know? I've got two.
He's disposable.
Who needs two?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If one of them goes, there's a backup.
It's like having a hard drive backup.
So we went sideways over it.
We eventually, even when we went down and didn't roll,
we kept sliding because this is just how muddy it was,
and eventually stopped and got out.
And he's like, are you going to tell Sade about this?
I was like, how am I not?
I'm stuck 50 metres down a very steep hill. When you've got to go home, you're like, how am I not? I'm stuck. 50 metres down
a very steep hill.
When you go to go home
and be like,
I think we should Uber.
Where's the car?
I'll come with you guys.
This was never an option.
If you look at the photos,
it looks muddy.
It looks so muddy.
Did you not walk on it
before you went?
No.
You didn't walk on it?
Nah.
Your Instagram story
just gave me so much anxiety.
I was like,
shaking my head
like your wife.
She did a lot of head shaking.
You bloody idiot.
One of the old.
So anyway, it was a nice way to meet the neighbours in the new place.
Shout out to Matt, Mike and Kieran.
They were my rescue team.
But I tell you what, throughout the time of the Jiminy being down there to when it got out,
I would say we had nine or ten people come and have a look.
Oh, yeah, because they probably would have got around some idiot Aucklander and his white girl.
Jiminy.
Big city slicker.
Yeah.
Because the guy turned up in a Toyota Hilux,
like one of those pumped up four-wheel drive surf sort of situations.
And he came, he's like, oh, yeah, nah, piece of cake.
Where is it?
I was like, down there.
He's like, all right, I'll see you later then.
Bye.
Nah, nah, nah, I'm not going down there.
I was like, yeah, nah, fair enough.
So anyway, got dragged out by a tractor.
You can see it on my Instagram story, the whole sordid affair.
You just, absolute idiot.
Great way to make.
I would have just lost my shit if I was in the car with you.
Same.
You are not going down there.
I would have dove out.
You would have jumped out.
But when we were sliding sideways, it was passengers first. So if you had jumped out, you just would have gone under. I'd have beenbuckled and I would have dove out. You would have jumped out. But when we were sliding sideways, it was passengers first,
so if you had jumped out, you just would have gone under.
I'd have been under the car.
And if you had hit anything like a tree root,
you would have gone straight over.
And then you would have ridden off.
You could have died.
Imagine it.
And you wouldn't have got insurance.
Have you got tumble?
God, you're an idiot.
You're an absolute idiot.
I run roadside, because I run a towing company.
You bring roadside assistance. I run a towing You rung roadside assist
I rung a towing company
And this guy
I won't say
What
Like who
But he said
Ring your insurance company
And see if they'll do
Roadside assist
And just tell them
You've just slipped
Just off the road
You parked on the side of the road
And the road gave way
And then he's like
Oh my god
We'll fudge it
And I'll come pull you out
And then we'll just charge it up
To roadside assist
So I rung them
And they're like
No no no
Know this by the up to roadside assist. So I rung them, and they're like, no, no, no.
Know this, by the way.
Your roadside assist won't come and help you or pay for a tow truck.
You'll have to pay for them.
If you park on the side of the road,
and then your car slips off the road,
they will not assist.
But that's roadside.
That's not roadside.
That's what I said to the lady.
Even though my car wasn't on the roadside,
it was down a bank,
that I drove down, it was by no means an accident.
It was absolute user's error.
Well, they should call it road assist.
I was like...
Because road only, you can have at least one wheel on the road.
Yeah, what if you get a flat tyre on the side of the road?
Well, no, they'll come and help with that.
Right, okay.
If you've got a flat tyre and while you were waiting there,
your car slid down,
they won't help you.
They won't help you.
They'll just see you in the ditch
and be like,
good luck to you.
Good luck.
Yeah, well,
they'll get a tow truck
but you have to pay
for the tow truck.
Then it becomes
an insurance plan.
But anyway.
Yeah, it was like,
life's for adventures, guys.
Life's for living.
Oh my God,
you are so,
I can't believe it.
We're glad you're okay.
One of the old boys, Mike, said,
because Shada was just out there shaking her head
literally the entire time watching the rescue,
because they made her come out and film the rescue.
Were you in lots of trouble?
No, because I'm pretty cute, so...
Cute as a button.
It got you out of it.
Although, if you'd written it off,
you would have been in trouble.
Yeah. I mean, I've definitely not heard the last about it. Yeah. Cures the button It's like It got you out of it Although if you'd written it off You would have been in trouble Yeah I would
I mean I'm definitely
Not heard the last about it
Yeah
But one
Shadow was shaking her head
And one of the old mates said
If she keeps shaking her head like that
It's gonna fall off
I was like
I like you
And then I said
Am I
Cause I'm new
And this is everybody
Here's
First experience with me
Yeah
This is what I'm gonna be known for
And they were like
Oh yeah yeah
It'll be like,
you'll be called Slick or Skid.
But you'll
just leave your name at the door.
Your reputation is soiled.
Or was it already soiled when you pulled up in a
gym knee?
Play ZM's
Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM. Well Lizzo's brand new album is out July 15,
so only a few weeks away, and we've got your chance to win.
If you go to ZM online and read to see you can win a trip
to a Lizzo-themed night at Calusi in Auckland,
thanks to Grab a Seat.
Oh, it's going to be so good.
I've been thinking about it a lot because, remember,
when we talked to her, our friend Lizzo, we said, oh my God, we love this song, About Damn Time.
She was like, wait till you hear the rest of the album.
Which I know they have to say, but I believed her.
All right, well, it's out July 15, ZM Online to register.
So this has popped off.
Is that the cool popped off?
Yeah, no cap.
No cap?
This has popped off, no cap.
Carween is absolutely cringing. I'm 32. Carween, employer. I'm. No cap. Oh, I don't know. Now it definitely. Carween is absolutely cringing.
I'm 32.
Carween, employer.
I'm 32 years old.
I'm only 40, babe.

Employer acting sus.
No cap.
Oh, my God.
What the hell is that?
Social media diss.
Can you raise, can you raise Rain Vornan?
If you say someone's, if you say someone's cap.
Yeah. That means they're lying. No, don't? If you say someone's cap... Yeah, don't...
That means they're lying.
No, don't...
Okay.
Like, cap, cap.
When you don't believe something, cap.
You put a cap on it.
Cap.
Okay.
And then if you're only making a statement...
Carwen is hiding under the desk.
Carwen is hiding under the social media desk.
This absolutely popped off.
Oh, my God.
Honey's no cap.
No cap?
Employer acting sucks.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Ah!
I can't keep up, and I refuse to. So, there waser acting sucks. Stop it. Stop it. I can't keep up and I refuse to.
So there was a Burger King employee.
Yeah.
It was his time to leave his work.
It was his time to leave the Burger King franchise and move on to other things. This is in America, isn't it?
Of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As all wild stories are.
27 years of service he had given to Burger King.
Yeah.
Never missed a single day of work.
Not even for a sickness.
So the company gave him a good trip.
That's what?
It's trip.
Is it trip?
It's trip or I will turn your mic off.
It's the loyalty.
I'm turning Vaughn's mic off for the rest of this.
It's the loyalty for me.
You have a button?
It's the loyalty for me.
It's got a button.
It hits different.
Wait, you can turn us off.
We can turn ourselves back on.
No cap.
Okay, the car went crying.
Yeah.
Okay.
You need to stop.
Dude snatched.
Stop it.
We have no choice but to stan our loyalty king.
Stop.
No cap.
Okay.
Screw it.
Screw it.
Please stop.
I'm embarrassed for you. Can we get security in to remove him from the studio? I can't. I'm embarrassed for you.
Can we get security in to remove him from the studio?
I only pressed the button.
Dude understood the assignment.
No cap.
Where's my panic button gone?
We've removed the panic button.
Do you have a panic button?
Oh my god, what if someone comes in and tries to get us?
Oh my god, say less.
Tries to get us? Say less, Queen.
Say less.
It used to be here.
The screws have got, there's just holes there now.
No panic button.
Okay, boomer.
Oh, my God.
I hate you, Vaughan. Well, I can't call security.
I hate this version of Vaughan.
We're stuck with him.
Yeah.
Anyway, so after 27 years of service, never missed a day off,
this man received a goodie bag as a parting gift.
In the goodie bag as a parting gift.
In the goodie bag, there was a pack of Reese's, a Starbucks cup, two pens, and a single movie ticket. That not bussin'.
Oh, Vaughan, stop.
Get him gone.
Get him gone.
So, 27 years of service, and pretty much they've scraped together, I'm assuming, what they've found in their car.
It's like a real estate agent.
Yeah.
He got two Burger King pens.
And then he said, look, he was a really humble guy.
He said, I'm 54 years old, 27 years he's given to this place.
Yeah.
He said, I'm happy about anything.
I'm thankful for anything I get.
I'm not that type of person, you know.
I've been through a lot.
It's been a great company.
I've loved my 27 years. We did used
to get checks for 20
years and that's what I thought the movie ticket was.
I was like, hey, they finally gave it to me.
And then I saw it wasn't even two movie tickets.
It was just one!
Wow.
This is when the internet responded
in the best way possible.
Because this has actually turned into quite a heartwarming
story, hasn't it? Heartwarming indeed.
In fact, celebrity...
David...
Are we going to call him C-List?
Joe Dirt.
C-List celebrity David Spade has promised to pay him some money.
So he's given $5,000.
$5,000.
And I think somebody set him up a GoFundMe
and when I last saw it, it was like $120,000.
Yeah.
The dude had never missed a day.
Yeah.
He was supposed to be there. He dude never missed a day. Yeah.
He was supposed to be there.
He never missed a day.
And I mean, especially now, like people know how hard it is just to get people to turn up for any kind of customer facing job.
Yeah.
For 27 years.
That's incredible.
I'm going to check the GoFundMe now.
I think it'll be in US dollars.
150,000 US dollars.
Dude's vibing. That's so cool.
Dude's vibing.
That's, stop.
I think, get him out of here.
That's nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
That's $237,000.
Because why did he leave?
Was he just finding another job?
I'm not sure.
I don't know.
He was like happy to leave.
It was all fine.
Right.
But you know, two pens and a single movie ticket's a bit shy.
We want to ask this morning
When you've been on the receiving end
Of a bad leaving gift
From a workplace
Yes
We've seen a few of these
Haven't we Vaughan?
Have you?
You mean when we left a place
After ten years
And they forgot
And then they grabbed a bottle of
What did you get?
A bottle of vodka
A bottle of vodka?
I can't remember
It was out of the client
They give like Bottles of booze to like Clients What did you get a bottle of vodka? A bottle of vodka? I can't remember. It was out of the client.
They give like bottles of booze to like clients.
Oh, I forgot.
Like don't worry.
Thank you for your service.
It was that time that someone left and they worked in radio and again it was forgotten about.
They'd been there for a while and on the way to the leaving party,
somebody, well it was just a party that they were doubling up as their leaving party.
God, we need to get them something.
So the worst person in the office went and bought them a radio speaker.
They work in radio.
And they bought them a radio speaker.
Like a speaker that tunes in.
They weren't happy about it.
A singular speaker.
It was not a Bluetooth speaker.
No.
It was just, it had a big dial in the middle for the volume
And one button in the dial for like
Seeking the next radio station
So if you missed your radio station you had to go through
All the radio stations to get to the one you wanted
But is this on us like do we deserve
A leaving gift from a workplace
You know
Oh but some flowers and a bloody massage voucher
The dude had not missed a day of work
27 years of service.
This is the sort of thing that a company could celebrate as this,
we look after our employees so much.
They stay for 27 years and they love coming to work every day.
And then they give them something and then the PR they get from it easily
gives them more value.
It's not like Burger King doesn't have the money.
Give them a Burger King.
Give them a franchise.
Give them a franchise. Give him a franchise.
All right, well, 0800DARLS at M.
We want to take your calls now.
You can text as well, 9696.
When was your employer acting sus?
No cap.
No, that's not the phone, huh?
That's not it.
How bad was your leaving gift?
And I'm going to be buying one for you soon, Vaughn.
Were you being character?
Snatched.
No cap.
Stop. A Burger King worker, after 27 years of service, one for you soon, Vaughn. Were you being character? Snatched. Go cap. Dog.
A Burger King worker,
after 27 years of service,
is leaving his workplace.
They gave him a little gift baggie.
Oh, God, he was excited, wasn't he?
He opened it up.
A couple of lollies,
a couple of lols.
A couple of pens.
Okay.
Like, literally just what was lying around the office.
A couple of BK pens
and a single movie ticket.
So, this was in America.
The internet has responded.
And at the moment, the GoFundMe is at $150,000.
Because people are feeling for this guy.
$150,000 US.
Nearly a quarter of a million New Zealand dollars.
So good.
Apparently a lovely guy.
Like a very charitable guy.
So it got a good use.
27 years, never had a day off sick.
Yeah.
So we wanted to know what was your rubbish leaving gift.
It was in America.
I probably couldn't afford to have a day off sick. No. That's true to know what was your rubbish leaving gift? It was in America. I probably couldn't afford
to have a day off sick.
No.
That's true.
Anonymous joins us.
Good morning, Anonymous.
Morning.
This was your partner
who got the crappy
leaving gift.
Yeah.
So she worked for
a certain makeup company
I won't mention the name of.
Okay.
There's only one, isn't there?
Yeah.
Carry on.
And she was there for about seven or eight years.
And even when we moved to London for a bit,
she worked there as well.
Yeah.
And I remember on her leaving day,
they just gave her like this bag of sample of makeup
that was like half used or fully used.
Oh, yeah.
So cool.
Everyone's been fingering that.
She worked her way up to manager
and like,
I just remember,
you know,
sitting at home
on her last day
and we were just
picking through the bag
trying to find the ones
that weren't.
Yeah,
pretty good.
Ooh,
yuck,
that is gross.
Couldn't even chuck her
a bloody mascara.
Also,
international company
by the sounds of it,
like,
I'm sure they can afford it.
Oh,
absolutely.
This company,
which I know who you're talking about,
can absolutely afford to buy her a little massage.
Supples and stuff.
She would have had access to that the entire time of her employment.
Oh, yeah, she would have had.
Exactly.
Anonymous, thank you.
Bethany, your partner had a crappy leaving gift as well.
Yeah, yeah.
It was pretty bad.
Okay, so how long was he at this job?
So he was there for nine years and then he left and received nothing.
But I was actually at the same job and I was for about five, six months.
And we lived at the same time, but I received like this goodie bag and I put on like a whole
cake thing for me, like a whole leaving party.
Do they hate him?
Is he a bad person?
What's your partner.
So you were there five or six months,
and you got a whole party, but he got nothing.
Yeah.
So then I ended up having to share my goodie bag with him,
which was fine, I guess.
Share your goodie bag?
Fine, I guess.
What kind of goods did you have in your goodie bag?
It was like one of those things that you get from a countdown
or a supermarket.
It was about $100. Oh, like a hamper. Oh, like a countdown Or a supermarket It was about a hundred odd dollars Like a hamper
Oh like a hamper
Like a hamper
Yeah
Did you have different managers
Or the same manager?
No
So yeah
We had different managers
We were in different departments
So
Oh yeah okay
Yeah you sound like
That's the thing in a big company
Some managers are good
And people people
And the other ones
Are just trying to tick those boxes
To make their money.
All right.
Hey, Bethany, thanks.
You called some more messages in.
Your crappy leaving gifts.
Nicole said, at my job,
the standard for people leaving is a shared lunch
and a gift from the company and a gift from the team.
No one from my team turned up and I received no gifts
and I was also made redundant.
So that was heaps of fun.
Oh, rough.
That's when you steal stuff from the office, eh?
I would take everything.
I'd take the photocopier.
The best.
Oh, God, how are you getting?
The whole thing.
It's got wheels.
You're just going to undo those locks.
It's got wheels.
I'd need a ramp into the van, but I reckon we could do it.
Oh, what ramp?
Just get it as close as you can and then just lever it in.
Sure.
It's not going to work when you get home anyway.
You're basically just stealing it to inconvenience them.
Yeah.
The best one, the best in heaps of text messages, I like this.
They've worked at some place for ages,
but it wasn't until they were leaving
that they realized these people never listened,
never knew anything about them.
I did,
somebody said I did 10 years at a company
and at my leaving,
I got given some earrings,
which was thoughtful.
I'll give you that,
but I don't have my ears pierced
and it was a regular conversation I had
with how I don't like needles and I would never have my ears pierced. And it was a regular conversation I had with how I don't like needles and I would never
get my ears pierced.
Right.
And yet they gave me earrings on the way out.
Somebody said I got given a huge bunch of flowers, even though for my entire time at
the office, they knew that they couldn't put flowers next to me because of how allergic
I am to pollen.
Anonymous, what did you get for your leaving gift?
Nothing.
That is crap.
How long were you at this job for?
It wasn't too long.
It was about like 15 months,
but no one even remembered that I was leaving.
So I sat through my whole last shift
and no one said a single thing.
It wasn't until the week later when they realised I hadn't shown up at work all week
that they realised I'd actually, they forgot my last day.
I would have made such a fuss.
Like I would have walked in and been like, last day today.
So they promised like, oh, we'll do like a work dinner or a work event with you in the next few weeks.
And then two weeks later, I saw some pictures on Facebook of said work event that I wasn't invited to.
They just forgot.
It seems like they just constantly were forgetting about you.
And then had your party without you.
Amazing.
Ouch.
Wow, ouch.
We appreciate you.
Thank you.
Ask some messages in.
I'd been in a workplace for 10 years.
On my last day, I got a small bunch of plastic flowers
and a toy dog that were 100% from the $2 shop next to work.
I put them both in the bin on the way out,
and I heard someone go, oh, ungrateful.
I left my job to have a baby.
I got some flowers, but another employee who was leaving
on the same day as me
who was also going
on maternity leave
got boxes of nappies
and a whole gift.
A whole gift hamper.
Maybe they were liked more.
Yeah.
It definitely sounds
like they were liked more.
Or just like you said before,
different managers.
Maybe different departments.
Here's another one
of those situations
where they weren't listening.
One of my jobs,
you got a gift.
It was written into the contract.
You got a gift leaving $50 per year
you were there. Oh, okay.
That's insane. That's good, yeah.
I was there for four years.
I was 19 and everyone
knew I was saving for a house.
I had been talking about how I wasn't going to be
doing my OE. I wasn't doing any spending.
I wasn't going anywhere because I was
saving for this house with every dollar I earned.
They bought me
a $200 suitcase.
Five years later
that suitcase
has still not been used
for its intended purpose
of international travel.
Oh my God.
Yeah, lots of...
Also, I mean,
I hate to admit it
to that beautiful listener
but $200
was not going to contribute
towards a house.
That was a flash in the pan.
Today's fact of the day is about snail's mouths. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
Today's fact of the day is about snail's mouths.
Snail's mouths. Okay.
I never thought of what a snail's face looked like.
Snail's face.
Snail's face.
Well, the eyes are on the end of the pointers, right?
And that's what I was just thinking, yeah.
If I was to draw a snail, I'd definitely...
So surely the mouth's...
Down there.
Down there somewhere.
Yeah, it's underneath the face.
Like a little moustache.
It's...
Well, today's fact of the day is that snails have a mouth size of a pinhead,
but they have 25,000 teeth.
What?
They can have up to 25,000 teeth.
Between 10 and 25,000 teeth. What? They can have up to 25,000 teeth. Between 10 and 25,000.
10 in there when they're a younger snail and they get more teeth as they get older.
Right, so you definitely shouldn't put your finger in one.
You wouldn't be able to get your finger in one.
It's too small.
How big are these teeth?
Yeah, how big is a singular tooth?
About teeny tiny, teeny tiny teeth.
Are they like all in the body?
Is all the inside just teeth?
It's a small conical projection
on the reducer
like a carpet. Think of a carpet.
Like a long shag carpet but every one of them is a teeth.
A tooth. A tooth?
A teeth.
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah like this.
Like this. That now is
one of my, oh okay that is
definitely. Yeah, rose and rose and rose and rose and rose and rose of teeth.
Something I wouldn't want to enlarge
with an enlarging machine.
A snail.
A microscope?
If it's got that many teeth.
You know, like a ray gun
that enlarges something small to something big.
Yeah, that'll chew you alive.
Oh, like a...
They could be our biggest enemy
if they were the size of elephants, couldn't they?
Ooh.
Would they catch us?
Ooh, imagine. Yeah, real slow would they catch us? Oh, imagine.
Yeah, real slow.
But they can move by body length.
You know, we talked last week about how fast things are
by their own body length.
Yeah, right.
Meaning that if they were, you know, our size,
how fast would they be?
I bet a snail could probably, a big snail could move it.
Yeah, right.
If you're having a nap on the lawn in summer
and all of a sudden your toes are gone.
Yeah, that'll be the snail. That'll be why. Probably a big giant snail. That'll be the giant snail. Do you have access a nap on the lawn in summer and all of a sudden your toes are gone. Yeah. That'll be the snail.
That'll be why.
Probably a big giant snail.
That'll be the giant snail.
Do you have access to one of these ray guns?
Well, no, but I'm certainly working on one.
Are you?
Investigating it.
Yeah.
You and Jared with his 3D printer.
Yep.
Exactly.
Good luck.
Did we have the world's largest snail?
The coldy snail?
Is that the world's largest snail?
Oh, it's a snail.
I know there's a giant African land snail.
That's a fairly sizable snail.
Give me a comparison.
I'm just looking for one in somebody's,
because I like to see a snail in a hand for a comparison.
Yeah, hands are good.
Yeah, but then what if the person has small hands?
Oh, yeah, okay.
Well, here's...
Yuck.
No, that's fake.
This is the largest snail in the world, the African land snail.
Oh, that's massive. Would is the largest snail in the world, the African land snail. Oh, that's massive.
Would you say a guinea pig?
I'd say that's the size of a papaya.
You were going to go fruit.
I was going to go animal.
Maybe the size of a kitten.
Yeah, an eight-week-old kitten.
But we had the coldy snail, I'm pretty sure, is a big snail.
Remember, they were a conservation issue, so they had a whole lot in an area,
and then someone accidentally bumped on the air conditioning
and it froze them all.
Oh, no.
We wiped down like half the population of this endangered snail.
Oh, dearie me.
We really, really bought.
Classic humans.
Classic humans.
So today's fact of the day is next time you see a garden snail,
have a little look because they've got 25,000 teeth.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Do you ever get a little bit tired of life? Like you're not really happy but you don't want to die.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Play ZM.
Okay, we're going to talk about kissing, something I love a lot.
I love to kiss.
You're a kiss on the mouth person.
Are you talking about passionate kissing or a greetings kiss?
All kisses.
Kisses to greet, kisses to hate.
Kisses for meat.
So I'm just trying to figure out how they actually worked this out.
I guess they sort of like polled people on their current partner,
whether or not they were the best kisser, good kissers, da-da-da-da-da,
and then asked them what their job was.
And from that, they have created a list of the best and worst kisses
based on your occupation.
Okay.
And you said Radio Announcer is not on the list.
We're not on, but maybe we might be able to thumb ourselves into bloody one of these.
So we'll go, should we go the best?
Yeah, sure.
Top five best kisses.
Okay.
Number five, waiters and chefs.
Oh, chef's kiss.
Chef's kiss.
Yeah.
Number four, teachers.
Oh, okay.
Gross.
I don't know why teachers have no wee kiss.
Unless teachers are listening now, in which case, congratulations.
Yeah, they're humans, but it was hard to remember that when you were at school, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Teachers actually have a real life.
Number three, engineers. Wow, they know the're at school, wasn't it? Yeah. The teachers actually have a real life. Number three, engineers.
Wow, they know the mechanics of it, don't they?
They know the ins and the outs.
They know the structure.
Well, that brings me to number two, doctors and nurses.
Well, the doctor knows the human body.
They know how the lips and the tongue interact.
With the teeth and the saliva glands.
Yeah.
Number one, accountants.
What?
I don't.
They're doing their spreadsheets.
No, really?
Yeah.
Profits and loss.
Like a freak in the sheets, the accounting sheets.
Profit and loss sheets.
Shame on you.
Shame on you.
A freak in the sheets. The on you. Shame on you.
I'm freaking the sheets.
The Excel sheets. I'm a freak in the Excel sheets.
Great use for the accountants, though.
It is great.
Good for them because they get a bad rep.
Yeah, you'd say it's kind of got that rep as a bit of a stuffy profession.
Yes, yes.
Yeah.
I remember they were boring bean counters.
Well, they did work out.
I mean, they created a character, remember,
who was the most boring person in the world?
And it was a small-town Christian accountant.
Yes.
With a kink, as it turns out.
With an absolute set of lips on him.
Yeah.
Okay, so those are the best kisses.
Accountants, doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers, waiters and chefs.
Have you got worse kisses?
Worse kisses. Number five, IT workers engineers, teachers, waiters and chefs. Have you got worse kisses? Worse kisses.
Number five, IT workers.
Yuck.
Don't kiss me.
Just reset my computer.
At least you need your computer reset and you're not going to get any help from upstairs.
But they're obligated to do that as part of their job.
They can't be asking for a kiss.
Yeah, true.
Yeah, fair.
Nate, demand a kiss.
You know, let's ask for a bit of a kiss.
All right.
Number four, real estate agents. Oh, really? Oh kiss. You know, let's ask for a bit of a kiss. Alright. Number four, real estate
agents. Oh, really? Oh, yeah.
That's for sure.
That's one thing. Oh, this house.
Oh, it sells itself. Those lips were made
for lying, not for smooching.
Absolutely. Number three, lawyers.
Too busy, too stressed.
Yeah. Too much reading.
Number two, bankers.
Okay. Can't kiss to save themselves.
And number one, civil servants.
So anyone that works at a government department.
Anyone that works in a government department.
IRD.
Yeah, oh God, they can't kiss.
MB.
I don't know if I've ever kissed anyone who worked at IRD.
But again, when it comes to tax time, I would be happy to.
Absolutely happy to.
Just to give them a smooch so they turn a blind eye.
Yeah.
Is that tax deductible?
I don't think it is.
I don't know if that's how it works.
And then keep smooching them for seven years until you've got yourself into the clear.
Yeah, and then you're like, get out.
Statute of limitations.
Never liked you in the first place.
Shout out to my hometown.
This is my favourite supermarket in Wellington.
Right.
Which one?
Yeah, my favourite.
New World Schaefer's.
Schaefer's Park.
It's on the way.
It's like leaving Courtney Place area,
heading to Oriental Bay.
I've been there.
I've been there.
Always good for a little,
a quick bot on a Friday night.
Yep.
Before the big weekend.
It's sort of,
it's bougie,
but it's not Thorndon bougie. Right. And the big weekend. It's sort of it's bougie but it's not
Thorndon bougie. Right.
And people who shop at those new worlds will know
the difference between the two. Which one's Thorndon?
The one by Te Papa. Yeah.
Over the road from Te Papa. No, no, no.
That's the one we're talking about. That's Schaefer's.
Thorndon's by the Beehive.
Behind Parliament. I remember that Thorndon was the
first supermarket I ever saw a
digital price thing on. Oh yeah. The Thorndon was the first supermarket I ever saw a digital price thing on.
Oh, yeah.
Like the Thorndon one always has stacked fruit, you know, like grids.
Oh, yeah.
Meticulous.
Pretty bouge.
Yeah, it's bouge.
Full stop.
Indeed.
Well, one thing people love about Schaefer's New World the most is they always has rockin' music.
Always like the best music.
Really?
And then someone...
Better than a radio station.
I mean, look, they're not tuned into ZM,
but they've got the second best music.
It's a playlist.
Right.
Well, they can't tune into the radio.
Everyone on the radio is bashing supermarkets
for their price gouging.
Yeah, exactly.
You can't have like...
In the supermarket, you're about to pick up butter
and then three bloody wise guys, smart alecks,
come on the radio and start bashing supermarkets
for how expensive their butter is.
You're too right.
It's safer just to make your own playlist.
There's actually some cheap butter at the warehouse, isn't there?
There is cheap butter at the warehouse.
They wouldn't want us saying that.
They'd be bloody scrambling to turn us off.
We won't be stopped.
So there's a Facebook group called Vic Deals.
It's a very famous Facebook group in Wellington.
And it says, for the connoisseurs, you never asked for this playlist,
but here it is.
It is the Schaefer's New World playlist.
And this has gone crazy online, hasn't it?
Because it's like...
There's 447 songs on this playlist.
And the thing is, every song is a well-known song,
because it has to be, because it's played at the supermarket. Absolutely. They it's all, and the thing is, it's every song is a well-known song because it has to be
because it's played
at the supermarket.
Absolutely.
They're all like
classics and bangers.
But listen,

Yeah.
The perfect playlist.
It's something for everybody.
Let's not forget.
Maybe I will pick up some pineapple and cream.
