Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. I'll sing it loud in case you don't already know. Pack up your... Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Download, scan and play the Monopoly game at Maccas to be in to win. I shall start the podcast by talking about my platter incident. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Over the long weekend. Social weekend for you this weekend. Very social weekend. I tell you what, I think October might be just a, but then there's always stuff coming up. Because you said. A little housewarming. I'm going to lay off it for a month.
Starting point is 00:00:33 And then I was like, October's my birthday month. Also, don't do that. Why? Just moderate. You've got nothing to worry about. You don't drink during the week. No. And what do you have to worry about?
Starting point is 00:00:42 You're fit. You eat right. You go to the gym. And what do you have to worry about? I're fit, you eat right, you go to the gym. And what do you have to worry about? I know, but I just feel like I need a month of just not going out
Starting point is 00:00:49 every weekend. Anyway. Well, then what? Then what happens? You die. You die. You know? You die.
Starting point is 00:00:55 You miss all the good times. Next weekend, you might go to a social function and that's where you meet your soulmate. They could be them. Yeah. Or it could just be
Starting point is 00:01:03 somebody who's into some weird shit That you're into You never know when you're going to find someone else Who's into that real niche stuff Furries The amount of stuff hanging from his ceiling Suspension furry
Starting point is 00:01:16 There is literally A ceiling fan And that is it He dresses up as a bat And he hangs upside down in a full bat suit. Not Batman, like furry,
Starting point is 00:01:28 long-nosed bat. Upside down. Gets hooks in his back. Look, I'm not kink-shaming furries, but I am not into that at all. At all. And then someone else comes in and plays the COVID virus.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Oh, the whole thing's sorted. And sneaks in, yeah. No, so our friend Mike was having birthday drinks. Love Mike. 30 years old, had a birthday, Mike. And sneaks in, yeah. No, so a friend, Mike, was having birthday drinks. Love Mike. 30 years old, had a birthday, Mike. We went around to Mike's. Probably my only friend that's a real right winger, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Nah, I've got some mates that are, but he's very, isn't he? He loves it. Yeah, he is, yeah. But anyway, so there were platters, and the platters were outside, and his parents and his partner's parents were out there, and people I didn't know on the deck area. And then it was kind of the rest of us inside, congregating in the kitchen, making espresso martinis,
Starting point is 00:02:15 and drinking and chatting. But the platters were outside on the deck area. And everyone was like, we kind of want some platter action, but we don't want to go out there because then everyone's kind of looking at the platter and then you have to talk to people. It was just a bit awkward. So we're just like, we finally made the decision. Let's go to the platter.
Starting point is 00:02:37 And by this time, there wasn't a lot left on the platter. Oh, yeah. What was left? All the good meats. Apricots. All the good meats. And some of the unsalted, unroasted, non. All the good meats. And there were a lot of... Some of the unsalted, unroasted, non-chocolate covered nuts.
Starting point is 00:02:48 And there were a lot of vegetables. Cherry tomatoes. Capsicum. For some reason, there was cauliflower and broccoli. There was all... I think there might have been some vegans there or something. You've got to get in early. You've got to get in early to those.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Does the hummus have a skin on the top at the end of it all? There were a couple of loaves that had been hollowed out and turned into dip containers. Cobblos. Cobblos. So anyway, I spotted a couple of meats, like a big salami, a couple of those, and then I grabbed a... This guy spots a big salami at a party.
Starting point is 00:03:16 And then I grabbed a cube of cheese, and I put that in the middle of the salami, and I walked out. And I'm like, I'm good with that keto and I pop pop it all in my mouth I make the the salami is like a cracker yeah you know another layer of meat in there and a thing of cheese and I'm like in my mouth and I'm like mm-hmm and then my face goes hmm what's that and it wasn't a cube of cheese. It was a cube of butter. Yeah! Unbelievable. There was a pile of cubed butter.
Starting point is 00:03:55 But you know posh butter isn't as yellow as the poor people's butter? Yes, it's like white. It's like white. Like creamy white. To me, it looked like a cheese cube. Like a feta or something. They would explain its softness as well. Like a feta. And so I was like, ugh.
Starting point is 00:04:04 And then anyway, Mike messages me, whose party we're at yesterday, and he's like, I've been informed that you ate a cube of butter yesterday. And I'm like, how did you know I ate a cube of butter? Wait, you didn't immediately tell people? No, because I was like, because everyone was kind of busy, and I'd gone off to the plate and I was walking back. You didn't sort of go ting, ting, ting. You had a very greasy mouth.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I'm not alluding the party to the fact I just ate a cube of butter. You would have had such a film. Yeah. A fatty film. Your tongue wouldn't have been able to form the words. It would have been sliding around. Mike says to me, I'm informed that you ate a cube of butter last night thinking it was cheese. And I was like, yes, I did.
Starting point is 00:04:40 And I said, who puts cubed butter on a platter? I'm assuming the cobblos were meant to be buttered, but they turned them into dip. But who's cubed the butter? Well, I know it was a waste of, put cheese on there. But it looked like cheese cubes. And anyway, he said, yes, somebody had the opportunity to tell you that when you picked up that cube of butter, that it wasn't cheese.
Starting point is 00:05:01 And they didn't because they were too scared to tell you. And then they watched my face eat it while I realized it was butter. They had the opportunity to stop me eating the cheese. The real lesson here is you're an asshole that hates to be corrected. And if that's it to you, you know that's butter, you would have been like, of course I do, you fucking idiot. I'm taking it inside to spread on a bit of bread. I don't, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:25 So you deserved a butter cube in your mouth. Well, apparently I did. Wow. Did you ask Mike as to the initial intention of the butter? Why was it cubed? Well, I didn't know. I just assumed that it was for the loaf, the cob loaves. Is anyone even still cubing cheese?
Starting point is 00:05:38 You put a slab down now. You put a slab down. You put a wheel down. Yeah, you cut it yourself. A wheel, a slab, a slice. But see, the cheese had already gone, and I thought that was the cheese. Just don't put tube butter on a platter. That'd be yuck.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I'm going to call you Butter Boy now. He's Butter Boy. Butter Boy. And we're going to put some meat. Yeah, that could be good. That could be good. I don't know on salami, though. Salami is already quite high in fat.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Yeah, it's quite salty. And then, yeah. You need a cleanse. I do. Again, my month off. This is why I need the month off. No, boring's quite salty. And then, yeah. You need a cleanse. I do. Again, my month off. This is why I need the month off. No, boring.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Don't be boring. Boring. Just don't eat cubes of butter, you little fat little fuck. Fat little fuck. How's the diet go? Well, I keep accidentally eating butter.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I'm a fat little tub of butter. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hay butter. Thank you, Susie. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley on a short week. Happy Tuesday. Susie actually prefers knock-knock. Knock-knock. Thanks, knock-knocks.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Morning and knock-knocks. Hello, knock-knock. Yeah, short week. How about that, eh? Yeah. How about that, knock. Yeah, short week. How about that, eh? Daylight savings. How about that, eh? Now, you've been up since... I've been up since 2 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:06:49 I don't know. I couldn't sleep. I woke up. I went and checked on my cow, and then I could not get back to sleep. This is a cow that's... Birth is imminent. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Do you want to see a picture of the cowdrona today? Yes, please. No. It's pretty open, guys. Yeah. Just flash it up to me. I'm going to look away. You tell me when you've...
Starting point is 00:07:08 How would you describe that? She's bloody ready, mate. She is ready. She's ready. We're going to have a little orange fluffy cow any day. Yeah, I hope so.
Starting point is 00:07:19 I cannot wait for the photos. God, my phone is just full of pictures of a cow's back end. Right. Well, you've been banned or you've had a warning from Facebook's meta. I am. I of a cow's back end. Right. Well, you've been banned. You've had a warning from Facebook's meta. I am.
Starting point is 00:07:27 I'm a meta pest. Yeah. Well, don't send. That's why I wanted you to just flash it to me. Don't send it to me over Messenger. Because I feel like you're on your final Messenger warning. Well, I'm tired, too. I'm jet lagged.
Starting point is 00:07:40 That's right. I've been having international travel. It's 3 o'clock for me right now. You hosted. Well, technically, you only went away for two days, so it's still six o'clock. It's my three o'clock. Also, there's a tinge of an accent there from a weekend in Melbourne. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Oh, my God. Shut up. Is there? Is there? Oh, my God. No, there's not. Yeah, but? That's sick, mate.
Starting point is 00:08:00 You hosted Last Night's Have You Been Paying Attention Australia. I did. How did that go? It felt so familiar and yet so different. It was trippy. Well, when they made the set, literally the New Zealand one had to make it exactly the same as the Australian one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:15 The only thing that's different is like slight distance changes. Right. But I kept looking and I was like, where's Paul? Who's this guy? That was good fun. But yeah, 3am for me. 3am accent. Yeah, like it just, I don't know, but it felt good, you know.
Starting point is 00:08:30 All right, well, we've had a long weekend off from the Secret Sound All Thanks to Neon. It's back at 7 and 8 this morning. Your chance to win that $100,000 jackpot. Soundkeeper George is in from her country and western weekend. Oh, yeah. She's been meeting every country singer.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Had you heard of the country singer that she put a photo up of? Nah. Never in my life. I thought, I generally feel a little out of touch. With country music? With anything. But then she put up a photo and I was just like, Goo Goo Gaga.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Yeah, I had no idea who that was. Nathan Brown? No offence to Nathan Brown. Handsome dude and I listened to a couple of his songs. Fantastically catchy. But I had no idea, and then she made me feel like an idiot because I didn't. Maybe we should put some more country on this station.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Hells yes. No, I don't know about that. We'll see how we go. Coming up on the show, the top six as well. There's a seaweed farm. Yeah. Well, if you watch Country Calendar with as much vigour as I do, you would know about this.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Yeah, okay. It's a seaweed farm, but the top six problems I can see with the seaweed farm coming up. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. It's the end of the world as we know it. Okay. You know how they said this pandemic was a once-in-a-lifetime thing?
Starting point is 00:09:45 Well, the President of the United States last week declared the pandemic is over. Oh, don't worry about it then. We're done. Oh, thank God. Why didn't he do that a couple of years ago? I know. We could have been done with this whole thing so much earlier. Well, even if it is out of the way, prepare for the next one.
Starting point is 00:10:01 So scientists believe another pandemic will happen during our lifetime. Ugh. I mean, we've already had one. Yeah. I feel like we've sort of done our time, done our service with it. And now they think they know the origin of it. There has been a COVID-like virus
Starting point is 00:10:20 called Costa 2 originating from a bat in Russia. Another bat disease, guys. Remember when, I mean, I don't... So this is a new one that's coming. I'm treading lightly because I don't want to be like, ha, ha, ha, and then, like I did with COVID,
Starting point is 00:10:36 I was like, it's not going to go that far, is it? And now, look, three years on. Yeah, you regret that that first week, don't you, saying this won't go, this won't be big? Oh, remember, I was campaigning. It's just the common cold. How many people die from the flu every year? Yeah. Keep the borders open.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Business, business, we gotta make money. Money, money, money, baby. So, it was actually found a couple of years ago in horse hoe bats. Oh, okay. I don't know what kind of bat they are but they're a bat. A horse hoe bat. Horse hoe bat.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Sounds like I think it would be a little cutie. You know those little cute fluffy bats? I find all bats pretty. Horse shoe. It's horse shoe bat. What did you say? Horse hoe. This one here has written it horse hoe.
Starting point is 00:11:19 It's horse shoe. No, H-O-R-S-E-H-O-E. Yeah, I've missed the S. There's no horse-o-bats. It's a horseshoe bat. It's a family of bats. I'm reading the study. I think you should apologise to the bats.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Sorry for calling you horses. You're a horseshoe. Oh, no, no. No, they're not cute. No, they're not? No. They're the bats with the funny faces, the beaks. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Tiny eyes. Should we be eliminating all of these now? Russia should maybe turn their guns onto the bats with the funny faces, the beaks. Right. Tiny eyes. Should we be eliminating all of these now? Russia should maybe turn their guns onto the bats. Well, they say they can most likely spread to humans quite easily. Oh, God. From this. Precise origins of the virus are unknown, but it's been investigated by who?
Starting point is 00:12:00 The World Health Organization. You know when they're getting involved. Well, they've got to be on the guard for the next time around, don't they? You've got to be ready. Fool me once, shame on some. You can't get fooled. Fool me twice, boyo.
Starting point is 00:12:16 That's it. That's exactly how it goes. I love just these morning wisdoms from porn. Yeah. Put it on a headstone. So Costa 2 and SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19. morning wisdoms from porn. Yeah. Put it on a headstone. So, Costa 2 and SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Costa 2, that opens this week in West Auckland. Oh, it does. You've got to get a membership. You've got to get your membership, you've got to get your card. Well, they belong to the same
Starting point is 00:12:34 subcategory of viruses. Oh, cool, man. Cool. So, this could happen. Okay, this is terrible news. You heard it here first. It's the end of the world as you know it. Terrible news. You heard it here first. It's the end of the world,
Starting point is 00:12:45 as you know it. Terrible news. It's 11 past six. Next on the show, marathon runners. You'll know if somebody's done a marathon because they won't stop going on about it. You're looking at one right there.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I'm more than willing to discuss my 42.2 kilometres of determination. Well, next on the show, there is a new record for a marathon time. So if you've ever run a marathon or a half marathon, have your time ready in your head because I'm going to tell you how fast the fastest marathon runner ran yesterday.
Starting point is 00:13:14 And if you've beaten it, call up. We'll get you on the phone. No, there's no way because this is the new world record. He beat his own world record, but it's going to make you feel very unfit. I'll tell you that right now because it's very fast. Now, Vaughn, you've done a marathon. You've done it once.
Starting point is 00:13:33 You've gone on about it. Correct. How many? What was your time? Three hours, 36. Three hours, 36. Have you ever done like a fun run or a half? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:13:45 It's just you haven't gone on about it. Tell us about your marathon. You look at me and go, have you ever done a fun run? Around the bays? Have you ever done around the bays? Around the bays? I actually haven't. I'm just going to walk around the bays this year.
Starting point is 00:14:00 What? So you're just going to go for a walk with a thousand people everywhere in every direction. Tens of thousands of people. I'm going to walk around the base. Go and walk the base when it's not a crowded crazy mess. I think a lot of it's for charity though. Oh jeez, what an arsehole.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Sorry about that guys. Great work on raising money for charity. I had no idea. I just thought you were being a bit of a precious prick, to be honest. I apologise. When you ran your marathon, you just ran it for yourself.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Correct. Selfish. Selfishly correct. No, I hate asking people for money, apart from my employer. I'll ask them every two weeks on the day. Every two weeks. Yeah, they're like,
Starting point is 00:14:41 Vaughan, we told you it's an automatic payment. I said, I don't care. I need you to confirm it's going to be there. I always wonder why every second Friday you were taking the lift upstairs. I always go straight up to the CEO, you pay me this time? And every time he says it's an automatic payment, Vaughan, it goes in. I will see. And I slam the door.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Keep them on their toes. Yeah. Keep them on their toes up there. At the weekend, the Berlin Marathon was held. And Kenyan great, Eliud Kipchoge. Eli and Kenyan great Eliud Kipchoge. Eliud, yeah. Eliud Kipchoge. This dude cleans up at the Olympics.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Yeah, so he was back-to-back Olympic champion Rio and Tokyo. He set the previous world record in Berlin in 2018 of two hours, one minute, and 39 seconds. Now, a marathon is 40... 42.2 kilometres. 2.2 kilometres. I know, I did mine in 2009. Yeah, and you won. Now a marathon is 42.2 kilometres. 2.2 kilometres. Yeah, and you won't stop going on about it. To be fair though, you've got a good time. Sub four is the goal, right? I'll say it.
Starting point is 00:15:34 I'll be the Kiwi here. I'll be the New Zealander and mow him down a little bit here. I've been to Berlin. There's not a hill anywhere. Oh yeah, they say that about the Auckland Marathon. Helliest first half. Yeah, whereas the Christchurch, oh you do the Christchurch. Everyone's like, it's the first half. Yeah, whereas at Christchurch, oh, you do the Christchurch runs. Oh, I did this thing. Isn't that just like five laps of Hagley?
Starting point is 00:15:49 I think so, yeah. I couldn't do the laps. I couldn't do the laps. Because it's two same same, but it's flat. The best part about Auckland is you run past the finish line and you go out. Yeah. And then if you stop there, how are you getting back? You've got to get back.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yes. Whereas Hagley, if you were running laps, I'd just be like, I'm stopping now. How many laps have I done? Yeah, no, I couldn't do it. Well, there were hopes that he may beat the, and be the very first person to beat the two-hour mark because nobody's done it for a marathon. I thought he was a minute short.
Starting point is 00:16:20 So he managed to do two hours, one minute, and nine seconds. So he shaved 30 seconds off his previous record. And so the new world record has been bettered by 30 seconds. Can we maths that? How fast is that? That would be insanely fast splits, like per kilometre. Maths it. Maths it.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Maths it, daddy. I mean, there'll be a marathon time calculator that will do the splits for you somewhere. Marathon speed... Split calculator. Calculator. Not split. What do you know what a split's for? I don't know. It does the same thing, doesn't it? He runs twice as... I'm not a runner.
Starting point is 00:16:58 But it takes me about 30 minutes to run 5k. When I did it, I've only ever done a half marathon. I did an hour 31 and that was like a good time. Oh, that's really good. That was a really good time. Yeah, this guy's got bloody horse legs.
Starting point is 00:17:10 But like that's, he's doing another, in half an hour, he's doing what I did, another double. I'm sorry, are you just casually dropping in there that you've done a half marathon?
Starting point is 00:17:20 I've done a half marathon. How have you done a half? Well, I haven't done a fun run, but I've done a half marathon. I haven't even done a bloody How have you done a half? Well, I haven't done a fun run, but I've done a half marathon. I haven't even done a bloody fun run. I've only ever done one and then I retired. I need to get my energy. What did you say his time was?
Starting point is 00:17:32 One hour. Sorry, two hours, one minute and nine seconds. Oh my God, he's so close. He'll go again because he'll be training for this. Yeah. He'll go again soon, I reckon. Holy shit. The dude is rocking.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Every two minutes, 50. Yeah. Kilometre. Every two minutes. That's average pace. Yeah. Every two minutes, 50. He's almost sprinting. He is. He is. He is sprinting. Oh my god. He's incredible. That's insane.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Yeah. Well, there you go. If you're training for any of the upcoming fun runs around the bays or any marathons. Stop it. Every time you say fun runs, stop gesturing at me. I'm just saying it starts with a fun run. I'm more of a weightlifter. I'm more of a weightlifter.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Play it. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Hello. What were you measuring with your hands there? It started out small and went to, like, well wide in the shoulder width.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Do you know how you always sort of feel like you know what a metre is? That's way more than a metre, by the way. No, I'm thinking about 136. No, that's like 1.4. Okay, guess what 136 is. I've got my tape measure here. I did this the other day with Aaron. I said, what have I got?
Starting point is 00:18:41 I said, I reckon I've got 40. Okay. Okay, so you reckon that's 1. I reckon I've got 40. Okay. Okay, so you reckon that's 1 metre 36. I got 1 metre 36. Is this a new party game where you... I'm not moving,
Starting point is 00:18:52 I'm not moving. I reckon it's 1.4. That's 120. Oh. I felt short, I felt short. Because you said to me that's way more than a metre.
Starting point is 00:19:03 It's actually a great drinking game. 75 centimetres. And if you get it wrong... No, no, more than a metre It's actually a great drinking game 75 centimetres And if you get it wrong No, no, more than that It's tiny More than that This is 74
Starting point is 00:19:10 Oh no, that's 40 Three quarters That's 40 Of a yardstick It was 40 What a fun game that is And then, like, just drop a bomb Then just drop a bomb
Starting point is 00:19:23 24 inches. Oh, I don't. Hang on, hang on. Foot long and a foot long. Yeah. This tape measure's only got metric. We'd have to convert. What a great drinking game.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Well, that's the weekend sorted. Yes. We should try this. Although when you're drunk. Add bangers bingo tonight. You should. Oh, yeah, holding your hands like that. I did it like that.
Starting point is 00:19:45 And you'd be like quite wobbly and then you'd cheat. That's. Yeah. No, no moving. No moving. Locked in place. And you have to drink if you're within 10 centimetres or 5 centimetres. Wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:55 No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Outside of 5 centimetres. Guys, we just created such a fun game. We should put this into an app. Yeah. You know, like Ellen DeGeneres. She got so rich off of Heads Up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:08 I don't know how you'd do it. I don't know how you'd get it because it'd be free. Well, there's a measuring tape on the iPhone app, isn't there? The app has a measuring tape. No one can steal our idea. We're patenting it. I'm going to patent it. You do the top six.
Starting point is 00:20:19 I'm going to get a patent for us. Okay, you get a patent going. All right, get a patent going. Today's top six. The first ever seaweed farm has been built in Bluff. I believe this is the same one that was on a rip-roaring episode of Country Calendar. You love your Country Calendar, don't you? I love it.
Starting point is 00:20:31 I love seeing what? Resourceful. Because it's never just an ordinary farmer dumping his cow shit in the river and hoping for the best. No. It's always a resourceful little bugger. The people on Sunday night make truffles. Oh. And te puke.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Truffles. Lovely. And the little dog and the dog could smell the truffles. And then they dig the truffles. It was a cute story. It got me very interested in truffles, to which I had not spent much time thinking about at all prior to that episode. I've never had truffles.
Starting point is 00:21:00 But this seaweed farm apparently drastically reduces methane in sheep and cows up to 98%, depending on what they're currently eating. So they eat seaweed and then they don't fart and poop as much? Well, they fart and they poop, but the fart and poop, the byproduct isn't methane. I guess you compare it, if you know a gym bra who's like sliming protein shakes. Yeah, bro. Their farts are like rotten eggs. Two right in front of you right now.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Yeah. Gym bras. A couple of gym bras. I'm looking at two. We pump a lot of protes, but then, you know, you change up. This is why we only do fun runs, because you don't want to be hitting the... I can't shred too much.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Yeah, you can't shred too much. We're bulking. We're in the bulk phase. Concentrating too much on the shred, on your cardio. We can't be doing fun runs. Not too much cardio. So the methane is right down. Now, apparently, this will be great for Australian cattle
Starting point is 00:21:50 because a lot of them are feedlot cattle, not grazing cattle. What does that mean? Well, they're in like a, you know those gross ones you see on like problematic meat ones where the cows are in like a cage? A cage. A dirt, hard dirt thing in a steel cage and they look miserable and they don't have a lot of room to move and then they eat out of a feedlot. What do they eat?
Starting point is 00:22:09 That's why our beef is so good. It's because it's all grass fed and you can do some grain finishing. What do they eat? Grains and... Like chicken food. They don't eat chicken. He eats burgers. Yeah, like chicken food.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Yeah, like tofu. Or just leftovers or whatever. But they said because they're on a controlled diet, they can feed them the seaweed and the meat family will be right down. This is amazing. This is great. Very interesting. But I've got the top six problems I can see with a seaweed farm.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Okay. Number six, how do you milk a seaweed? Yeah, good call. It doesn't have nipples. No. I think you put it into a blender and add some water you blend it then you drain it

Starting point is 00:23:19 of the top six problems I can see with a seaweed farm, the motorbikes will sink. Yeah. Yeah. How are you going to go and check on the seaweed? Yeah. In the middle of the night?
Starting point is 00:23:31 You won't be able to. Let the seaweed could get out of the gate. Totally. Speaking of which, number four on the list of the top six problems of the seaweed farm, the saltwater will rust the gates and then the seaweed will get out. It's not going to work, is it? No.
Starting point is 00:23:44 It's really not. Even galve. It's not going to work, is it? No. It's really not. Even Galv, it's not going to stand up to those harsh... Currents. Those harsh currents and how salty the ocean is. Our number three on the list of the top six problems I can see with a seaweed farm, how do you whistle to your dogs underwater? And the dogs...

Starting point is 00:24:43 I don't know. Taxi Utes. Oh! Oh! Don't get me started. I was a junkie. That's just a piece of bullshit. No one's asking. I'm not that sporty. And I'm drunk.
Starting point is 00:25:02 We're out here. Rain, hail or shine. I'm down there in Wellington. I I'm Junk. We're out here. Rain, hail or shine. Down the room, Wellington. I'm worried about you. That's exactly how farmers sound. Catch a bloody break in the weather. Wet as a shag. Dry as bone.
Starting point is 00:25:18 I'm sure all the farmers in the milkshed right now are loving this. And we'd like to thank you for your continued patronage. Because we find it too hard to milk almonds. You guys are just so great, eh? Forgive me for my number one. That's today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM.
Starting point is 00:25:42 The Global Wealth Report for 2022 is in. I didn't know this was a thing. How did we do? Well. Is New Zealand on there? We're barely factoring in this. It's looking slightly, a bit depressing, but total global wealth grew by 9.8%.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Right. How do we, how? Do they just look at everyone's bank accounts? How do they do this? I really don't know. No, but I don't know how to do it. How does the global wealth, surely there's only so much stuff. Well, I think that what you'll find is the top of the list
Starting point is 00:26:13 are getting richer and the bottom aren't. Yeah, that's it. Inventing wealth. Where does the 9.8 extra come from? So, I don't know. $463.6 trillion US dollars. We need bad news. Brad on here.
Starting point is 00:26:29 So explain it to us. I've got a couple of questions. Somebody said, because you know how unemployment rate's really low. Yeah. That's what's causing inflation. Right. So we can't have both. Let's fire some people.
Starting point is 00:26:42 That's what I was like, who's ready to go? I remember when he told us last time, like, the interest rates are going up or the whatever. Inflation. Inflation's going up because we were told to support the economy and we did. Yeah, I know. So I just feel like we're being played for fools. Yeah, same. How do we win?
Starting point is 00:26:59 There's no win here. $463.6 trillion in US dollars is the global wealth. I'm thinking those communists had something going. There are 62.5 million millionaires worldwide. 62.5 million millionaires. Wow. That's the population of a fairly large country. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Yeah. So this is the thing that made me quite shocked was the world's most richest country, most richest, the world's richest country is Australia. Well, no wonder everyone's moving there. I know, but they've literally been doing snapping off broccoli stalks and everything else.
Starting point is 00:27:37 You know what I mean? That's how the rich get richer. That is wild in Australia that they pay for the broccoli stalk. I know. Like we pay per broccoli. Yeah. And they pay weight. Some weeks you get a little brock. know. Like, we pay per broccoli. Yeah. And they pay weight.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Some weeks you get a little brock. Some weeks you get a big brock. Yeah. Don't matter. And it all just averages out to you normally just get a medium brock. So the report revealed that the number of millionaires in Australia rose by nearly 400,000 since 2021. Is it because all their property's gone up as well? Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Right. One of the main reasons. Yeah, right. Like Sydney house prices? Yeah property's gone up as well? Yes. Right, so they're made... One of the main reasons. Yeah, right. Like Sydney house prices? Yeah. You think Auckland's bad? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Despite having less than half a percent of the world's total global population... God, that's crazy. Australia's so big. Yeah. It's all very empty. Yeah. Despite having less than half a percent
Starting point is 00:28:20 of the world's total global population, the land down under is home to 3.5% of the world's millionaires. Wow, okay. So they're millionaire heavy. So you were just there at the weekend filming. Have you been paying attention? Living it up.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Did you meet any millionaires? I don't think so. I might have brushed shoulders. Yeah, right. Oh, yeah, I would have been in a room with a couple of millionaires. I met Michael Ball. Musical theatre royalty.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Yeah, I don't know who that is. The original Marius from Les Miserables, the original production. Yeah, I don't know who that is. The original Marius from Les Miserables, the original production. Yeah, I don't know who that is. Is he Australian? No, no, he's a Brit. He's a Pom. What's he visiting for?
Starting point is 00:28:52 He's there for a concert called, do you hear the people sing? It's like a tribute to Les Miserables. Right. Yeah, because you're like, I'm sad lesbians, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Sad lesbians.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Miserable lesbians. Miserable lesbians. Oh, yeah. That's what it translates to. Yeah, miserable lesbians. Miserable lesbians. Miserable lesbians. I thought that's what it translates to. Yeah, miserable lesbians. Miserable lesbians that squat. Yeah. Squat and do chest press. I know, because you were like,
Starting point is 00:29:12 I'm so excited I'm going to meet someone famous, and then it was him, and I was like, I've got no idea. I think you were meeting Kath and Kim, or Kim. I did preface it by saying that my drama school friends would be excited about this. Oh, right, okay. But I would assume he was a millionaire.
Starting point is 00:29:25 But anyway, well done, Australia. Is that what you say? And I guess if you want to be a millionaire, move to Australia. I think that's how it works. Yeah, pretty much. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fletchvorn and Hayley, silly little poe, silly little poe. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little poll.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Silly Little Poll. Silly Little Poll. Silly Little Poll. Silly Little Poll. Silly Little Poll today on social media. Do you prefer to block someone or mute someone? You know, if they're like, they're annoying or they're posting too much about something
Starting point is 00:30:08 or they're shitposting or whatever. I think if you mute someone, you avoid that whole, why did you, don't ever do that. If someone unfollowed you on Instagram, don't ever worry about it. No, I wouldn't. I certainly don't hit them up about it in real life. I wouldn't, but some people do.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Is a block the same as an unfollow? So a block will, yeah, unfollow them. They can't see you either. You disappear off the app as far as they're concerned. Oh, so you don't see them and they don't see you. But then if they were to log on to someone else's account
Starting point is 00:30:41 and you were still on Instagram, they would then know that you've blocked them. Okay. I see, I see, I see. So a mute is very, it's the way that they'll never know. It's passive aggressive. It is. Although they'll probably notice that you're not viewing their stories.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Well, if you never reply and you were replying or you never comment on their stuff and you were. 16. How do you see if you've blocked someone or muted someone? There is a way of seeing it,
Starting point is 00:31:09 under settings or something. You'll have, in your settings, there'll be a blocked list. Okay. A muted list. And then, is there a mute list as well?
Starting point is 00:31:16 Yeah. Okay. I'll try to find it. Because you're going to be able to find them to turn it off. Yeah, right. On social media, do you prefer to mute someone
Starting point is 00:31:23 or block them? 69%. Nice% said mute. Yeah. 31% have said block. Straight into it, Courtney says mute it so they don't annoy me day to day, but I can still stalk them when I remember that they exist. Yes. It's always a thing, isn't it, Courtney, remembering people exist.
Starting point is 00:31:45 That is like summing up the mute so well. Vicky says, mute, it saves the awkward conversation on why they can't find you, especially if you have mutual friends who are on social media. Yeah. Nicole says, I save blocking people for people I really don't like. Mute is good for people you still want to connect with, but just not on the level that they are posting. So they might be posting every day.
Starting point is 00:32:05 You're like, I don't need to see what they're up to every day. I.e. your friends in Europe at the moment. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-mm-mm. My thing with friends in Europe who have been there for months is, how will they afford this? This is whenever I'm there in Europe, I'm like, how are they affording this? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:19 I've been thinking the same thing. I think we're thinking of the same people. How have they been there this long? How are they afford this? How do they afford this? How are they doing this? Kimberly says, I like to block, but honestly wish you could do both of these in real life as well as online. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Imagine if you could just block someone. I found out how to see. How to see who you've muted. So you go to your profile pic, then you go to settings, and then you go to privacy, and then there's a list down the bottom. Restricted accounts, blocked accounts,
Starting point is 00:32:46 muted accounts. Oh, okay. And then you can... I've only muted four. Okay. Two of which was for... I've muted four this morning. Two of which were for spoiler alerts,
Starting point is 00:32:55 like shows. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And two that I didn't know I'd muted. Oh. One we all know. Really? The plot thickens. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. One we all know. Really? The plot thickened. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Understandable. I don't know why. Semi-understandable. Brad writes, a mute is stronger than a block because a block is in the satisfaction
Starting point is 00:33:17 of a screenshot. A screenshot is content. Never give your enemy content. Jeez, Brad. The art of social media war. By Brad. Michaela writes, work colleagues add me on Instagram
Starting point is 00:33:29 so I mute my stories from them. Saves me doing a close friends list. Yeah, good. So that's people she's worked with can't see at the weekend. She absolutely cuts loose. Yeah, good. Danielle says,
Starting point is 00:33:39 I don't want them to see what I'm doing or see any of my posts. So that by the sounds of block there. Yeah. Connor, only person I've ever blocked is my father-in-law. Haha, sweat emoji, fingers pulled emoji. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:50 You don't need your family seeing some of your shenanigans. Yeah, agreed. Yeah, so there you go. It's strong for muting just for political reasons by the sounds of things. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Um, guys, this is all it took Guys This is all it took
Starting point is 00:34:05 This is all it took I went I got my Land Rover out of storage Garage is like complete Yeah Wow The power The power isn't hooked up yet
Starting point is 00:34:14 So Oh and also Side note You may remember I was the corporate voice Of Garrador garage doors Before you were fired For years
Starting point is 00:34:21 Well they just didn't renew the contract It's the same thing It's not very much the same thing It's the same thing. It's not very much the same thing. It's the same thing. You know, like when an actor does, like, the first movie, the second movie, the third movie, and then they don't come for the fourth movie? It's a gentle firing. It's a firing.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Maybe I was asking too much money. I wasn't asking too much money. But you've just got a new garage. Wait, and it's got Garadors. Wow. And I said, who is the voice of the Garadors ads now? I don't know. I haven't heard their voice.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Did you get a discount for being the Garador guy? No, no discount. No discount. It's lapsed, Jessie. Oh, lame. I would have gone with, what's that, Total Span? I would have gone with the opposition. No, it is Total Span, but they don't make the garage doors.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Oh. Garador make garage doors for Total Span garages. Oh, right. The inner workings, the political back and forth. Who knew? The behind the scene on a steel framed garage structure. Don't get me started. Who knew? But, so I got the Land Rover
Starting point is 00:35:16 back. It's got its own beautiful little special spot in the new garage, which is to be honest, it's ridiculous to keep my grandfather's Land Rover not rusting out as Land Rovers tend to do. I built a new garage, which is excessive. But the Land Rover also burps and gurgles and drops a bit of oil on the floor.
Starting point is 00:35:32 So I said to Shadow, I was like... As most old gals do. Yeah. A little bit of a slip, sneeze. A leak here and there. Achoo. But a wheeze comes out. But a wheeze comes out.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Achoo. But a wheeze comes out. Just a... Is it enough to put a little wheeze thing on the front a wheeze comes out. Just a... Is it enough to put a little wheeze down on the front of the jeans? No, it's not. It's a lucky day. Yeah, there you go. A little air dry.
Starting point is 00:35:52 You feel it slip? You look? Nothing. No one's going to know. Hey, that'll all be out soon in a rhyme and reso. Soon? It happened to me at the weekend. I think a little bit of wheeze came out.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Not enough to show through on the front of the jeans. We good. We good. On with my day. So I got some garage carpet. Just a strip of garage carpet. What? No, and I bought it.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Must be nice. Must be nice. Oh, did you? Good day to you. It looks like there's two new kings this week. King Charles III and King Vaughan I. Good day. I just put a photo up saying my Landrivers home.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Hooray. Why don't you just put an oven, like, you know, one of those oven, those tinfoil oven trays, put it under the engine. Oh, that'd be perfect. Yeah. Well, maybe I will have to if it drips on my new carpet.
Starting point is 00:36:49 And people are, so many people are like, ooh, garage carpet. It's just a, it's a two metre wide strip of, I didn't get the whole
Starting point is 00:36:59 garage carpet. Just like from Mighty Ten or something. Yeah, you go in and you're like, oh, you'll have four metres of that. It's two metres wide and four metres long.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Yeah. Ooh! Ooh! Must be nice. Ooh, got a bit of garage carpet, does he? For my third vehicle. What is it about going into a garage and it's got that carpet on it? That rough carpet.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Yeah, it is like pretty extra, eh? It's like, oh my God. What do you do when it gets dirty? Do you vacuum it? I think so. Yeah, you vacuum it. You've got to vacuum your whole garage because this is how you clean a garage with concrete floors.
Starting point is 00:37:35 You turn on the leaf blower. He's got a leaf blower. Must be nice. I'll be on the half-lens. Does this carpet get oil stains on it, though? It hides the oil. It hides the oil. It absorbs it. It's like a maxi pad.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Is it like a dark grey or like an oil colour? And it's got a, oh, it's marine. Oh. It's marine colour for the boat, darling. Right. Ew. So it's like hard. It's got a cold for the boat, for the boat, darling. Right. Ew! So it's what? It's like hard.
Starting point is 00:38:06 It's got a rubbery underside. So the oil won't go onto the concrete. I don't believe the oil will go onto the concrete. I mean, again, you could have got a $2 tinfoil oven tray. For more tips from the Millionaire's Club statue. Ew! I'm going to get an outdoor fan later. Must be nice.
Starting point is 00:38:30 But did you have a lot of people hitting you up when you put this picture up? Yeah. Where did it cost you? A couple hundred bucks. For a strip of carpet. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Must be nice. Must be nice. Must be nice. I'm sorry. Must be nice. I know some people are going through a hard time. Someone's voting national. Someone's a national voter. I wonder when you've got garage carpet, darling, you vote for apps.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Keep your filthy paws off my money, government. Yes! Must be nice! Jesus. I've been awake since 2am. I'm losing my mind a little bit. You're going crazy. I'm tired.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Are you awake because you woke up and remembered you've got carpet in your garage? I woke up and I was like, the peasants will be trying to start a revolution. Must be nice. I'm happy for you. I woke up because I couldn't see my cows on my security camera and I panicked and ran. I ran out there in my underwear and Crocs with a head torch on and I said, where are you?
Starting point is 00:39:31 And the cow was out in the paddock, but it wasn't having a calf. It was just out in the paddock. I couldn't see it on the security camera. Then I got back to bed and I had a paddock attack. So your truck has its own carpet and your cows have their own shed. Yes. Must be nice. Must be nice.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Just quickly, just a smart little suffix. Is that the one at the end? Mm-hmm. An architectural designer is listening to the show and I've always said. Oh, it's a station for architectural designers. And this is the home of architectural designers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:07 We talked that time about grand designs, remember that? Yeah. And I talk about reno-ing all the time. And the station slogan is design out louder. Yeah. I thought it was today's hit architects. Today's hit designs. I thought it was. Yeah, okay, sure.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Today's hit blueprints. Today's hit designs. I thought it was. Yeah, okay, sure. Today's hit blueprints. Today's hit blueprints. Today's hit council consents. Yeah. Today's hit engineering report. That would be a very niche station. I'd listen. No, but apparently we've had a message in.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Architectural designer head, garage carpet is standard in New York. Oh! Must be standard. Does anybody listening have a garage Roomba? Like a vacuum cleaner that just services the garage area. That is out of control. I reckon some lads with home workshops would surely have a garage Roomba. No, because the stuff in the garage
Starting point is 00:41:05 would be too big for a Roomba. It would be like wood chips. Maybe it's like an industrial Roomba. Yeah. Ho, ho, ho. Ooh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Ho, ho, ho, ho. Well, today, the 27th of September,
Starting point is 00:41:20 it's my mum's birthday today. Is it? Have you messaged her happy birthday? I haven't, but I shall. She's hooning around in her new car. She's traded in the Mazda 2. She said there's a lot of buttons and it beeps at her and it tells her the speed
Starting point is 00:41:34 she was saying. Oh, I hate that. And then it's got auto lane change and stuff and that's pulled her back a few times. Because you know she's all over the bloody road. She likes the rudders. Yeah. So it's her birthday today. It's October on Saturday
Starting point is 00:41:50 and we are 88 days today away from Christmas. 16 hours and 38 minutes. Exactly. Bloody hell. Close. Bloody hell. Can I just take this opportunity to make an announcement to my family?
Starting point is 00:42:02 We're not doing gifts this year. I'm out. I don't want to. I don't want to. I don't want anything. Somebody wants carpet in their garage. Yeah. I'll make you a card and I'll bake you some fudge. That's it.

He certainly has. Laura wants to add to the penetration. Laura writes, hi, team. I'm sorry to report this, but Hornby Mall has started playing Christmas songs.

Starting point is 00:44:47 Do you put them away for the rest of the year? The Santa Bears. You think you just take their hat? Suffocate them in a plastic bag? You take their hat off and they're just a beer. Take their cardigan off

But yesterday they'd opened up the front of the main doors and they were letting people in to the opening kind of foyer bit where the membership desk is. And you could just see everything.
Starting point is 00:48:40 How big was that? It is humongous. And you know, we joked about the coffins, but you could see, and I put this on my Instagram story, there's literally a display where you can buy coffins and then next to it was like the food place.

Starting point is 00:52:42 Nigel Fest. Yeah. And Hayley's very common. Very common as muck. But Carwen, you're actually C-A-R- W-E-N. I thought you were going to spell it wrong then. That would have been hilarious. I'd imagine there'd be a Y
Starting point is 00:52:55 in because is it Welsh? Yeah, so it's Welsh and the male way of spelling it is an I or a Y. Female as an E. So have you even met anyone that spelt it wrong? Nah. Or different than you, rather? Nah. You would have met many a Carmen. Yeah, definitely. And I get called

So we wanted to know if anybody listening is in the same boat as Carwin and you've never met anyone with the same name as you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Because I would have thought Carwin, there would be lots of Carwins. I thought there'd be enough that you'd meet one. Maybe there's a Carwin listening. But I did try to look on Facebook. You know, you just look Carwin. Yeah. Not a lot. Well, it's good you've got a unique name.
Starting point is 00:55:05 I like that. You need to go to Wales it's good you've got a unique name. I like that. You need to go to Wales. Yeah, you wouldn't be unique. When you go to like a souvenir shop, would your name ever be on a cup? No way. Absolutely never. No. Same as Vaughan.

Starting point is 00:56:50 Yeah, that's on you, actually. Olivia is spelled O-L-I-V-I-A. But that's okay. You spelled the name wrong. 99% of the people think. Yeah. And so is that common at all anywhere, the spelling of that? I think it might be more common in America.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Right. Do they call her Alivaya? Lots of people do, yeah. Yeah, and they go Alivia. Alivia. I think I might know an Olivia that's the same, but maybe where you've gone A-L-Y, they might have gone A-L-I. Yeah, yeah.

It was booked by the company I was working for over there. Give me your flight details, your passport number, your full name.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Because for those that missed it. Because your Israeli mate wanted to make a fake passport, didn't he? Actually, I very willingly handed him over.

Starting point is 01:06:10 Hayley's going to Australia this weekend. No, we don't want to bring up the fact that producer Anna was also going to Australia this weekend and you came straight to me.

Starting point is 01:07:02 Anyway, I got the upgrade, not you, Anna. And it worked, and I couldn't believe it. So I was sitting waiting for my flight and then I went to go check my, you know, what gate it was or something. And suddenly my seat number had changed from, you know, 43B to 4B. 4B. I can't believe that you got it.
Starting point is 01:07:24 I was like A? single digit C and I just I just couldn't figure it out I was like maybe they start the number maybe that maybe for business classes
Starting point is 01:07:32 is a different numbering system and I'm I'm just moving up the front and then I walked on and she's and then they said oh

Starting point is 01:08:07 and it's definitely a point of jealousy as I head towards the back of the back. I know, it's so funny. It doesn't look nice. No, it's so nice. They should let you board from, you know, the door in economy, so you don't have to walk past all the rich people.
Starting point is 01:08:19 Well, they did that on the way home. Oh, right. They put everyone else further back. But this, it was amazing. I sat down, and I was like pushing all the buttons and stuff and then someone came up to me and said do you want a glass of champagne? And I said How much does that cost?
Starting point is 01:08:31 Yeah, I was like Is it free? Is it free is the classiest question you can ask a business partner. Is this $4.50? What does this cost me? Now what would you like for lunch? Is it free? Then she went, oh, is this your first time? And I said, yes it is.
Starting point is 01:08:46 She said, well, I'll go get Heidi. Heidi? Is Heidi the first time consultant? Yeah, and Heidi came over and told me how to work the chair, told me how to work the thingy, kept bringing me champagne
Starting point is 01:09:00 the whole flight. Heidi was lubing you up. She was. And then she recognised me. She said, you're that comedian from TV, aren't you? And I said up. She was. And then she recognised me. She said, you're that comedian from TV, aren't you? And I said,
Starting point is 01:09:07 yes, I am. I thought she would have thought that it then made sense that I was in business class because people think people on TV make heaps of money. And then I said,
Starting point is 01:09:18 no, I'm not supposed to be here. I told her. My friend got me a free upgrade. I wasn't prepared for this. Famously, New Zealand comedians are terrible with their money Heidi absolutely
Starting point is 01:09:28 Heidi has no idea because when we went and we did the shows from Dubai Emirates upgraded us and that's it's a different world it was so funny though
Starting point is 01:09:37 because everyone around me heard that it was my first time and so like I'd get a champagne and they all looked at me and they'd be like cheers you know oh she's enjoying herself and then someone behind me on the other side was like heard that it was my first time. And so, like, I'd get a champagne and they all looked at me and they were like, cheers.
Starting point is 01:09:45 You know, oh, she's enjoying herself. And then someone behind me on the other side was like, first time, welcome. They were like, work hard and you'll be able to have nice things like this. Don't you know John Key was born in a state house and look what he made of himself. Anyway, I can't go back now. I see who are amongst up here.
Starting point is 01:10:00 You can't go back. Can't go back. Well, I've got bad news for you. He's out of upgrades. It's plastic cutlery for you from now back. Well, I've got bad news for you. He's out of upgrades. It's plastic cutlery for you from now on. No, I want the real deal. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 01:10:15 Well, in the UK, Durham City are rolling out an initiative at bars, and it won't be everybody that goes into the club. It'll be at the discretion of bouncers. But they're going to start breathalysing people before they go into the bar. And what would be their acceptable limit of drunkenness? Well, so they're saying that this is all because of the cost of living crisis. But I think this just describes the Kiwi drinking culture anyway.
Starting point is 01:10:42 Oh, is this a new thing for them? Are people going to bars and then buying their drinks there. Apparently. That's stupid. That's so expensive. Do you know in the UK, like, bars open and clubs open early and then they finish? Yeah, really early.
Starting point is 01:10:54 Whereas over here, everything's open late and finishes late. Yeah. But, yeah, they're saying that because of the cost of living crisis, people are turning to drinking and preloading at home, which, again, just describing the New Zealand drinking culture and then going to bars because it's too expensive at bars and therefore a lot of drunk people are turning up
Starting point is 01:11:12 and making bad decisions. And then going in and having one drink there and that's the drink that tips them over the edge. Or just the complimentary water. Yeah. And so the bars aren't making money and the council and the city are having to deal with a lot of drunk people on the streets. So they're saying that the breathalyzer system will work as a lights system, meaning if you've had a couple of drinks, you're fine to go in.
Starting point is 01:11:35 But if you've had too much and your breath is your blood, what a breathalyzer reading is of a certain amount. Blood alcohol levels. Yeah, then you'll be told to go home because they want to stop the culture of preloading. I think it's just easy to tell. Sometimes people wear their drunkenness differently. Vaughn, you don't wear yours at all. No, and it's problematic.
Starting point is 01:11:55 Remember that time I just got really sunburned at the cricket and that guy said, you can't come in, you're drunk. I was like, literally, I've had no drinks. Yeah, yeah. Oh, but you look flushed. I looked flushed because I'd been in the sun all day. You're a dead giveaway. Your eyes give you away.
Starting point is 01:12:10 Mine's I can't string a sentence together very well. Right. It's like I'm saying words as if I'm speaking like this, but they make absolutely no sense together. Yeah. Turkish dogs took the scissors and they went for a walk down the merry lane. He's like, come on in.
Starting point is 01:12:25 Juxtaposition with your Makona, sir. Okay, please. Sure. This woman is having a stroke. Yeah. But wow, I mean. But do you think that they could do that here? Because like.
Starting point is 01:12:35 You know what? I don't know how far. This is the wrong time for everyone to be breathing on the same device. One. True. Very true. One. That's my first run of with it.
Starting point is 01:12:43 The police, they've got those removable caps. Not a good time for disposable plastic caps. That's my first run of with it. They've got those removable caps. Not a good time for disposable plastic caps. That amount of plastic. I think that's what I was thinking
Starting point is 01:12:49 if you were going to say reusable or disposable. That's a ton of it. But then I don't know if bars ever have made that much money here
Starting point is 01:12:56 because everybody preloads. Shots. Shots, yeah. It's shots. Your Jagerbonds, your shots. Your backdraft. When was the last time you had Jagerbonds, your shots. Your backdraft.
Starting point is 01:13:05 When was the last time you had a backdraft? You've had a backdraft? No. Oh, what was that drink? Sam Booker and they lit on fire and they threw cinnamon on it. Oh, yes, I've had plenty of those. And then you're stringing some words together and your eyes are rolling back. All right, fact of the day is next.
Starting point is 01:13:27 And I don't want to play it up, but this might be my favourite fact of the day of the year. Whoa! Wow, big call. Big call, Smithy. I just stumbled across this. The fact of the day I had planned. Scrapped monkeys, coffees.
Starting point is 01:13:40 It's next. And religious men next. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day, promise a goody. Here it is. Are you going to tell people how this came about? Yep.
Starting point is 01:14:11 We were out. I was making our 7 a.m. cup of tea. And on the coffee machine here, before Hana, who makes the coffee, arrives, there's a very aggressive sign that says, don't use me, I'm covered in chemicals. Yes. Which I don't believe. No, she just doesn't touch the coffee machine. Yeah, they just don't use me, I'm covered in chemicals. Yes. Which I don't believe. No, they just don't touch your coffee machine. Yeah, they just don't want people to touch it.
Starting point is 01:14:29 People try to make their own cappuccino. Do not touch. Coffee grinds in here only, which I completely understand because they want to organically compost that and they don't want milk caps and all that junk in there. And I reached for the chocolate sprinkle
Starting point is 01:14:42 on top of the machine and I said to Fletch, would you care for a little chocolate sprinkle? And he said, put that down, you're going to get in trouble. I said, you're on camera. The lady in charge of the security cameras loved nothing more than to. And I thought, wouldn't that be funny to like lose my house?
Starting point is 01:14:58 Presumably my family would have enough and walk out on me all because I touched the chocolate sprinkle in five minutes to seven. What happened to Vaughn Smith because they touched the chocolate sprinkle in five minutes to seven what happened to vaughn smith he touched the chocolate sprinkle it was pretty much like willy wonka's chocolate factory that little august has glumped touched something uh and i said to fletch why is a moccaccino called a moccaccino immediately popped into my mind yeah more than happy to order a mocha a moccaccino and never ask why it's called a mochaccino. And then I said, does it have something to do with it's a mock?
Starting point is 01:15:30 Coffee. That's what I thought. It's a mock. Or it's mocha Italian food. And it might have originally been like decaf and chocolatey. So I was like, I'm having a coffee. I'm a grown up. You're a fakey.
Starting point is 01:15:42 No, you're not. You're a teenager. Grow up drinking black with no milk. Excuse me. I have a mochaccino all the time. Yeah, grow up. It's embarrassing. Every time you do it, it's embarrassing. It's not. It's not even Italian. Okay.
Starting point is 01:15:56 It's Yemenese. Big yeah, pardon? Mochaccinos are named after the Yemen city of Mocha. Salmon fishing in the Yemen. Salmon fishing in the Yemen. Salmon fishing in the Yemen. Salmon fishing in Mocha. In Mocha.
Starting point is 01:16:08 Mocha, which I am assuming has a ch in it. Yeah. That's the sound in Middle Eastern and Arabic. Mocha is a port city on the Red Coast Sea of Yemen and was in the 19th century the major principal trading port for the coffee industry. Peggy Pryor. So you know Yemen and the Middle East
Starting point is 01:16:29 that, what is it? It's got to grow between those belts doesn't it? Coffee, the coffee belt they call it. It's got to grow between, it won't grow productively outside of outside of it. So are you telling me that in this port that the chocolate got mixed in with the coffee beans? My mistake. No. It's that the mocha beans in with the coffee beans? My mistake.
Starting point is 01:16:47 No, it's that the mocha beans were from there and they said they had a distinctive, sweeter flavour. And even now, in Germany, traditional Turkish coffee, the way they make coffee, is called mocha. Okay. There's a mocha pot. And all throughout coffee culture, the word mocha keeps popping up because of this principal trading port. Right.
Starting point is 01:17:09 I can do better. Oh, okay. You thought that was the fact of the day. I thought it was, and I was happy with it. Sit down. Oh, okay. You're not going anywhere. Why is it called a cappuccino?
Starting point is 01:17:21 Because it's a cup of delicious chino. Nope. Why is it called a cappuccino? It is named after the Italian monks, the friars of Capuccia. Oh, yeah, okay. Oh, my watch thinks I've had a hard fall. I'm okay. I was just excited.
Starting point is 01:17:41 I fell, but I'm okay? Yeah, I fell, but I'm okay. I fell, but I'm okay. It, I fell, but I'm okay. I fell, but I'm okay. It's named after the Capucha monks, the fryer monks, and it's called that because when they made a cappuccino, it was the same colour as the monks' brown. It wasn't black like a straight coffee. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:59 Once the milk was added, it became brown and looked the same colour as the monks and had the white top from the frothed milk that looked like their little hoods. A lot of those monk colours are back in with bed linens at the moment. A lot of mustards. I've got like a sort of a rust duvet with white sheets. So I've got sort of a cappuccino. I would never have thought about monk colours. They are though, right?
Starting point is 01:18:25 They're always like dark, browns, and cheap to make, and you know, easy to do. So the Friar monks, the Capuchin, I was like, don't you dare whack your watch and tell me to hurry up. I'm very excited about this.
Starting point is 01:18:41 I said, I recognise that name. The Capuchin. Monkey. Mon recognise that name, the capuchin. Monkey. Monkeys are also named after the same monks. Or are they named after the coffee? No, they're named after the monks because the monkeys, when they first came across them, looked like they were,
Starting point is 01:18:59 because they're white around here and they have a little brown hood up, they look like they've got a little hood up. And they were like, those monkeys need a name. Let's name them the capuchins after the friars of the monks. Right. The Capuchin monks, who then also had coffee named after them. Right. Well, other producer has, other person producer's given you
Starting point is 01:19:17 six out of ten for that. A six out of ten? I just told you two origins of names of things you just take for granted every day. And the bonus monkey fact. These are my absolute favorite monkey fact. It had monkeys. It had men of the cloth.
Starting point is 01:19:30 It had Middle Eastern city that was a huge trading port. It had coffee. It had Italy. It had chocolate. It had four. It had literal chocolate sprinkles. You had a four. I had a four.
Starting point is 01:19:41 But I'm okay. Well, today's fact of the day is that the same monks that the monkeys are named after, the Capuchin monks, are also responsible for the name Cappuccino. And Mocha is Mocha because of the trading port of Yemen. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. I'll be right here for my head. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's. It must be so strange when you're famous to see a tattoo of your face on someone. Have you guys seen one of you? No.
Starting point is 01:20:36 Jesus. I'd be angry if someone's like, I got a tattoo of you. I'd be like, what did you do that for? I mean, there was that woman that named her twins Fletch and Vaughn. High end move. High end move. Those kids are going to be like eligible for jail time now. Yeah, they probably would be.
Starting point is 01:20:54 They'll be old enough to go to prison. So I'd love to know what shenanigans is going to get those guys locked up for the first time. So there's a guy, Margot Robbie was being, the lovely Margot Robbie, was being interviewed On the red carpet And the person who was Interviewing her was like
Starting point is 01:21:08 You have to see this My producer Ashley Male Has a tattoo of you And she's like Oh my god That's crazy
Starting point is 01:21:16 And he goes Come over It is ginormous It is a ginormous Back piece Oh yeah Like huge Of her is...
Starting point is 01:21:25 Harley Quinn. Harley Quinn. And it is... It's terrible. Shocker. It's pretty bad, isn't it? And then she's like, that's so cool,
Starting point is 01:21:33 but it's like, she's like, clearly, oh my God, it's so bad. She's never gonna say that's terrible. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:21:41 She's nice about it. No, she's pleasant about it. But I never find, like, even the good ones, they're very, really good. It's so hard to have a tattoo portrait, right? Because they can look pretty terrible. When you see amazing ones, you're like, oh, my God, that's incredible. I got my tattoo of Charlie Chaplin. I know.
Starting point is 01:22:00 Famous black and white silent movie star era Charlie Chaplin. He had a moustache that was later inappropriately taken by Adolf Hitler. And then my Charlie Chaplin tattoo got a bit stretched and now that takes explaining every time. I've seen just draw a moustache on him. Draw a whole moustache. Draw a whole moustache. It doesn't help. And say it's Tom Selleck from Mega VR.
Starting point is 01:22:22 Just go through some different moustaches. With a hat. Sam Elliott. Freddie Mercury. Yeah, some famous moustaches. With a hat. Sam Elliott. Freddie Mercury. Yeah, some famous moustaches. Okay, I like that idea. Yeah, yeah. But we wanted to ask the question this morning.
Starting point is 01:22:31 Is there anyone listening that has a celebrity tattoo? Like a facial tattoo. Portrait. A portrait of a celebrity on them. We want to know. And why you got it. Not like I got someone's signature. We want portraits of celebs. because they're such a commitment.
Starting point is 01:22:49 Would there be any dads out there? Would there be any dads with an All Blacks? I was linking dads with the three main dudes of Metallica. Yeah. I think Metallica get it. Bands like Metallica that, you know, Kurt Cobain. Yeah. Probably have, there was a lot of Nirvana tattoos.
Starting point is 01:23:08 Probably people have got Tupac. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you're real, they're no longer with us, that people have that emotional attachment to. I bet you they're still. Maybe this is a bit of an impossible phoner. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:23:19 I'm sure there'll be people out there, though, that have them. Well, maybe you know of someone or you've got one yourself. Do you have a celebrity portrait tattoo? Margot Robbie had to act very polite when she saw quite a bad tattoo of herself, a huge one over a man's back. So we want to know if you've got a celebrity tattoo and whether or not it's any good. Yes, a message is in.
Starting point is 01:23:38 No shortage of it. Somebody said, My husband is a tattoo artist and portraits are one of the most popular asks. Asks. Yeah. Which, again, like we said, they're hard to do right, though. Yeah. A lot of clients get their favorite singer or singers.
Starting point is 01:23:52 One client had a whole leg dedicated to Eazy-E of NWA fame. Why not? She got in touch with his daughter for a photo of the headstone and then sent the photo back when the tattoo was all done and the daughter shared it on her socials. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:09 Someone said my husband has Bruce Lee. Can't show him, can you? He's passed. Yeah. Tupac. Can't show him. He's passed. And he got Kobe Bryant.
Starting point is 01:24:20 Oh, wow. So it's like an in-memoriam leave. Well, no, I don't know if he's getting them done before this. I mean, probably Bruce Lee was after. Oh, my God, he's cursed. Yeah, maybe. Abby, what celebrity do you have a tattoo of? I have the outline, like a silhouette of Michael Jackson on my ankle
Starting point is 01:24:37 that I thought was so cool when I was in my early 20s, but it's actually horrendous. It doesn't look anything like him, and I get a lot of abuse from a lot of people. Yeah. Could you, like, write on the tattoo, tattooed before recent allegations of lies? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:56 Oh, yeah. Before the whole Finding Neverland thing, yeah. So that makes it even worse. Wait, how much is it? Have you had it priced up to see how much it would cost to get taken off? Well, the funny thing is, is that, because it's so, well, it's not very big, but it's very, very dark and quite big in patches. And I actually posted it to my community Facebook page.
Starting point is 01:25:16 Like, anybody got any ideas how to cover it up? But I got so much abuse from people. Aw, look at you. Why did you get abuse? You wanted to cover it up. Well, I absolutely want to cover it up, like, with anything, like a giant flower or anything. But honestly, every summer I thread the sandals.
Starting point is 01:25:34 Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, I'm sure you could easily get a design to cover that up. Yeah. Even to speak into a couple of... Well, then we should have an online competition. Well, I don't know if we want the abuse. Oh, you've always tattooed someone before you tattoo. Yeah, I put a sponge bulb on somebody's ankle.
Starting point is 01:25:50 I don't know how that's going. Apparently I didn't push hard enough. But I could... I think that's the time, Jay. I could do that. I could do a... Don't do it. Just get out the home needle.
Starting point is 01:25:58 The home needle. Don't do it, Abby. Abby, thanks for your call. Some messages and more calls next. Celeb tattoos. Do you have one? Is it any good? Or is it a shambles?
Starting point is 01:26:08 Better yet. Well, the Margot Robbie one is, yeah. It's bad. I mean, I saw her and she was really polite about it. She was nice about it, yeah. That would be the worst is coming face to face with the celebrity you have the tattoo of. Yes. And then, yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:20 They're like, oh my God, that's terrible. B, what celebrity do you have a tattoo of? It's not me. It's my partner, but he's got Richard Harris, the original Dumbledore, tattooed on his arm. Oh. There? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:34 As in the character of Dumbledore? In the character of Dumbledore. It's a whole Harry Potter sleeve, but it's recognisable. People know exactly who it is. Wow. Is Harry on there? No, he doesn't like Harry. He's not a fan.
Starting point is 01:26:48 Oh, my God. He is. He's the boy that lived. I know, but he thinks he's a bit of a wuss, so it's just Dumbledore. He's a child facing certain death. Who else is on this sleeve? Dumbledore is bringing him in the path of danger.
Starting point is 01:27:02 He's got Dumbledore. Who else? And Voldemort, just the two. Oh, wow. He's a bit in the path of danger. He's got Dumbledore. Who else? Anna Voldemort. Just the two. Oh, wow. He's a bit of a dark man. He prefers the, you know. He does.
Starting point is 01:27:10 He who shall not be named to the boy who lived. He's a Slytherin, isn't he? He's got big teeth. Did I just do a good joke? Is that the right one? He's got big Slytherin energy. Big Slytherin. Yeah, that's the one.
Starting point is 01:27:18 You know, I've only seen one of the Harry Potters. Yes. Yeah. Same. The last one, too. It was very confusing for Fletch. It was a weird wrap up. James, you've got a
Starting point is 01:27:27 tattoo of a celebrity? G'day guys. I've got a knee to ankle length Joaquin Phoenix from the movie Joker. Oh, okay. Good character. Didn't go for a Heath Ledger Joker or Jack Nicholson? I mean, the Jack Nicholson
Starting point is 01:27:44 is a classic, but Heath Ledger was probably Jack Nicholson? I mean, the Jack Nicholson's the classic, but Heath Ledger was probably too good. I went and watched Joker and I got it the next day. I was that into it. Oh, wow. Wow. It was very hard to find as well because the movie came out like 14 hours earlier, so there was very little images,
Starting point is 01:28:00 but it's the image from the end of the movie where he's eviling out Robert De Niro's character. It's just a great image, great scene. And I was like, let's do it. Called up my tattoo artist, who's a mate of mine, and said, I'll see you tomorrow. He said, I have appointments. And I said, bugger that, I'm more important. Go.
Starting point is 01:28:18 Cheap. You're really happy with how it turned out? Yeah, is it good? It is fantastic. We get a lot of credit for it, so I'm always trying to sell him. Yeah. But yeah, no, it's really good. It's hyper-realistic.
Starting point is 01:28:35 It doesn't just look like a sad sort of party clown fresh from drama school. It does not. No, I'm quite proud of it. Would you ever show him? Like, if you ever came face-to-face with him, would you be like, hey, check this out? Oh, yeah, I would geek out hard. I'd be like, look at this, your face is on my knee. And if he didn't appreciate it, I'd probably do nothing. I'd forget that the meeting ever happened.
Starting point is 01:28:57 Yeah, totally. James, amazing. Thank you for your call. Some other celeb tattoos. Corey said on Instagram, I've got one of Nick Offerman as Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec, but with fried egg eyes and a bacon moustache. Oh, we spoke to him once. He was very funny.
Starting point is 01:29:12 We've touched him a couple of times. It's not a funny tattoo. I like it. And he handcrafts canoes. He's an amazing man. He's a great woodworker. Some other messages in. My bestie has a detailed cowboy portrait of Bill Murray on her forearm.
Starting point is 01:29:26 Fantastic. Bill Murray would like that, I think. Yeah, he would. My brother has a portrait leg. It features many people, but including the guys of Step Brothers. Yes, so good. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as their characters from Step Brothers. Heavens.
