The ZM Podcast Network. Hello, welcome to the Fleach, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Download the McDonald's App and Earn Rewards on your coffee. I'm surprised I'm walking today. Had a bit of an issue yesterday. Right. I was moving a fence so that the cows could have some more grass.

Bloody wet out there. Yeah, God, you're good to them. Bloody wet. I do my best. And I opened up a little bit of the fence for the cows to walk through, but Hermione, the female cow, bit of a bitch, she stopped in the

gap so Humphrey couldn't get past her. Oh, yeah. And also stopped right beside where I was winding up this fence. Yeah. So I was kind of like behind her but to the left. Yeah. And I saw her leg go up and I was like, she's going to step forward, but she lashed out and kicked.

And she kicked me once in the knee and I was like thinking about it and she kicked me again like whack, whack. Both times in the knee. Like a double kick. Yeah. Like a double tap. Wow.

She double tapped me. She'd be Chun-Li off Street Fighter because the kicks were quick man Yeah And then I stood there That could have broken That could have like Literally

If she'd like done it with any Because it wasn't Hard-ish I was right I think it was right at the end of the kick Oh right It wasn't like she could have kicked Further through

Oh I've just touched it It is sore but not It's not bruised Right But that quick They just look like big dumb Steaks you know Yeah so you get those nice Instagram videos and photos of those.

Oh, yeah. Of your fluffy cows, but. Well, at the moment, they look like drowned rats. They're covered in mud, and they're booting me twice in the knee. Yeah, right. It's not worth it, though, is it? Not worth it. Isn't it?

Turn them into steaks. That's what somebody said. I don't know if they'd be good eating. A slow cooker would. So, last night, I cooked a tomahawk steak. Speaking of steaks, after she kicked me, I went to the butcher. Yeah. Just to show her what she could be.

And cook her on the outside barbecue just to let her know, you know, what happens when you mess with me. Tomahawk steaks are those big steaks. Big, beautiful steaks. And then the butcher said to me, do you know we do pork tomahawks now? This doesn't mean anything to you, does it? Not a barbecue, not a meat. So it's like a big pork steak on a rib, so you could cook it and then cut it off, eat it like a rib, then have a steak as well. And when it's finished cooking, crank it under

the grill and it'll crackle. then have a steak as well. Right. And when it's finished cooking, crank it under the grill, and it'll crackle. Yeah, right. Crackling on the back. So it's like a steak, a rib, roast pork, and crackling all in one. All in one. Well, if that doesn't make you hungry, today on the podcast soon we talk about toasted sandwiches.

Oh, my God. All right. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. Thank you, Sam. Good morning. The ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and... I mean, Hayley's... Hayley's...

Yeah, she's at home, isn't she? About to have a camera up the baton. Yeah, she's got a colonoscopy today. And she took her... You can follow her whole adventure. It should all be up there because it's within 24 hours of it kicking off. But I can't believe she took the pooey juice, the juice that you drink, and then she's all go.

Yeah. And four hours in, she'd had no movement. I reckon they're going to find a cork up there today when they pour a plug or some sort of road works. There's certainly something blocking something. There's something wrong. But then when the dam broke, it broke.

Yeah, yeah. It was from her last thing last night. She's like, okay, I get, because I was, I've done it twice. Yeah.

And so I was giving her the heads up of what it was like. She's like, okay, now I see what you mean. And you wake up, she'll be waking up

this morning feeling hungover because she's just so drained and dehydrated. So yeah, that's where she's at. So she won't be on the show today, but she'll be back tomorrow.

The top six is coming up. Auntie Papa have announced that they're collecting some items for an exhibition. Yes, from the protest on Parliament grounds that we all remember from last year? Yeah, start of this year.

Oh, when was it? Jesus, I don't know. The last three years are all just a mud puddle. I feel like it was the end of, no, was it the start of this? When was it? It was the end of last year, right? Surely. No, it was the start of this year because it was when COVID was in the community, right?

Like there was COVID in the community at that stage. Well, I know yesterday the police released more photos. So many more photos. Yeah, so many more photos. Yeah. So, Te Papa are doing an exhibition on, I guess it's photos, certain bits and pieces from the protests.

It was Feb 22. It was this February. It was this year. Dude, it's August next week. I know. It's bananas. So I've got the top six things you will see in the exhibits at Te Papa about the Parliament protests. Alright, next on the show

it turns out companies are using TikTok to influence us. Oh my god. And influencers to influence us. Oh, my God. And influencers to influence us. Oh, my God. Who would have thought? Not me. Well, a study out of Australia from a university has shown how fast food brands

and big corporate brands are using TikTok challenges to influence us. Oh, yeah. Okay. Right. I mean, you might not like, I mean, there's like advertising, right? Like here's a burger or here's a Pepsi. Yes. Drink it.

Yum. Yeah. But this study delves into the way that it's kind of a bit more clever where they start a TikTok challenge. They pay someone with many followers to start a challenge that seemingly they've come up with by themselves, but it uses their product. Exactly.

And they've worked out some of the big ones. The biggest is Pepsi, the Swag Step Challenge. Now, I don't know if you've heard of that. It looks, from what I'm reading here, it looks like it probably was quite big in India. 107.9 billion views. So you think they pay an influencer, what, I don't know, a couple of thousand dollars to come up with a challenge

and make it go viral? I've seen the swag step challenges where you go up the stairs in some sort of cool way. That girl that's always popping up, her and her boyfriend do dances nonstop it seems. That's all. Do they ever sit down? I've not seen them sitting.

I've not seen them enjoying a lovely Lazy Boy recliner. Perhaps they could, you know, Lazy Boy needs to come out with some money for a challenge and they can do the Lazy Boy recliner. But these two are just constantly dancing and constantly in my explore page. But yeah, 107, you couldn't get that, you couldn't pay for that kind of reach, right?

No. Just traditional advertising. See, some of the other big ones, Lays, which are like a chip, like a chip brand. The Smile Challenge, that's had 49 billion views. Doritos, Doritos Flat Life, 17.6 billion. Cheetos, more chips.

Yeah. Chip companies love a TikTok challenge. 13.9 billion views. Starbucks had one that had 10.9. Doritos again. McDonald's, the McDonald's CC Sing Challenge on TikTok, that's 8.6 billion views. C as in S-E-E or C? CC, the McDonald's CC Sing challenge on TikTok. That's 8.6 billion views. C as in S-E-E or C?

CC, the letter, Sing. Yeah. And then Cheetos 7-Eleven and Starbucks had one as well with 12.7 million. Right. But yeah, they delved into this and they're like. Well, that's clever. Yeah. I mean, that's what the study found is that it's, they're reaching us.

Yeah. And they're tricking us. Yeah. I mean, they can't trick me because I'm not dancing up some stairs. I don't have the knees for it anymore. Nah. I just walk upstairs. That's a challenge enough for me.

I mean, call me old fashioned. Just show me a picture of a burger on a bus stop ad and I'll go buy it. I'll buy it. Oh man, I'm immediately salivating. I don't like dancing. I'm all over it. But dancing up some stairs, if I was puffed at the end, the last thing I'd feel like reaching for would be a bubbly Pepsi.

I'd need some cool, still water. Yeah, right. Okay, yeah, some nice icy water. It would just give me, I'd be very burpy if I was, you know, just finished exercising and then got into some carbonated beverage. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. People are out there travelling again. One New Zealander, Bree, who's from Nelson originally,

she is not only travelling, she chucked in the job and she's just like, she's living in Southeast Asia. She's a digital nomad. What? Digital nomad. Oh, you're working from the road? Yeah. No, I don't even know if she's working.

I think she's just travelling. How good would it be being a digital nomad? Like having a job I haven't heard that term Have you never heard that term? Nah Digital Yeah so it's just

A job you can do at home But you do it in Bali Yeah Because it's cheap and Nicer But then What are your times What's your times like in Bali?

What are they so many Hours behind You'd have to be up At the crack of bloody dawn It's more those kind of jobs That are freelance jobs Right You pick your own hours As long as you get it done. As long as you get it done or you can get into the work systems,

just do your 12 hours or however many hours you do and you're done. Right. But yeah, loads of people choose Bali because it's cheap in Thailand and Southeast Asia. That was one of Bree's posts. She told everybody how much it's costing her to live in Bali. Oh, I mean, we've been for a holiday. We know how cheap it is. Yeah. So to celebrate living in Bali for a month, she decided to book a special accommodation. Okay. $80. Okay.

That's pretty up there for Bali, isn't it? That's high end. $80. Yeah. For one night. Yeah. It was described as a private room in a nature lodge. Upon arriving, it was abandoned. It wasn't there. It hadn't been used for quite some time. And this is the first like anyone at Airbnb or anyone had heard of this? Positive reviews.

That's what got her ticked in. But it wasn't until she got there and then checked again. They were reviews from 2019. Yeah. It was all literally just walked away from. Like, there was still chairs and tables and everything in the dining area. Yeah, it had literally been up and walked away from. So whether or not it was owned by an expat who just was just like,

I'm just going home until this quarantine thing blows over. And hasn't got back there yet. Hayley was saying, who's away? Hayley's away today. If you've just joined the show for a colonoscopy. But she was saying a lot of stuff is still abandoned and closed up. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

And that was the situation. The listing was still as it had always been. And apparently Airbnb said it hadn't been brought to their attention, that it wasn't. So no one else had booked it in the whole, like, since 2019? Apparently not. Apparently not. The photos and everything were of it when it was functioning.

Yeah, right. It said that it generally replied to people within an hour of their messaging, but abandoned upon. Wow. When they got there. That's your worst nightmare, right? Arriving to a country. It looks kind of fun, to be honest. What? Abandoned? Yeah, but abandoned upon. Wow. When they got there. That's your worst nightmare, right? Arriving to a country. That looks kind of fun, to be honest.

What, abandoned? Yeah, it looks fun. It looks like a little post-apocalyptic sleepover. Right. Like, you know, my wife would not be on board for it. Whatsoever, don't get me wrong. No. But it would be fun, like, if you were with an adventurous bunch.

Just to take it over and just sleep there anyway. Pretend the rest of the world was gone. Well, it's abandoned. And then jump on your scooter and nip down the road and get some cheap food and then come back and continue to believe that the world has ended. But add zero inconvenience to you. In the Philippines, a lawmaker is proposing a law. Because there's some laws out there, man.

Oh, yeah. No, they, because if they still want that. No, they've just got a new president. So the old president. Do Dan. Do Marty. He's the son of the old dictators. And you know, Amalda Marcos had all the shoes.

Yes, yes, yes. And they spent like bajillions of Philippines money. Yes, yes, yes. He's their son. The new guy. The new guy. The new guy. But the old guy was the guy that would just blow up illegal fishing boats and just kill people. Yeah, yeah.

And if he found like a drug lab, he was like, ask no questions, kill them all. Yeah. Like, wild. Wild. Wild. But this new law proposes to make ghosting an offence. Ghosting? Like ghosting.

Like the thing that happens on dating apps, like daily, or like when you leave a party and you don't tell your friends like I do all the time. Why is this anybody's business? Well, the idea is, is that study,

is he's saying that it develops feelings of rejection and neglect. So it causes hurt. Do a dance. Do you know how long it takes to say goodbye to everybody? It's just a whole process, and then you've got to deal with, don't go yet, don't go yet.

Stay and party. Or like you're chatting to someone, or you might go on a few dates, and then they just never message you back, or they disappear. No, but that's good. They're doing you a service. You've got to look at yourself and be like, why did this happen?

Or just count your lucky stars that you don't have to deal with this in like six months. Exactly. You're better to deal with it now than when you've actually developed feelings for them. So this politician in the Philippines says that ghosting can be likened to a form of emotional cruelty and should be punished as an emotional offence. So he's saying that this won't be a heavy punishment. He's saying that

they'll impose a penalty of community service for people to work out and do the time and realise that it's cruel. This dude has been jailed too. He has. And I can see why he is a narc. He's got big narc energy. He has. This guy has been stood up so many times. And I can see why he is a narc. He's got big narc energy.

He does. It's absolutely no surprise to me that, I don't know, ladies or gentlemen or whoever he's into, I've just been like, ugh, ghost time. Because this guy's a narc-y nerd. Yeah. So no word on, I think it's like when a bill is kind of in New Zealand, when it's drawn out of the biscuit tin.

Yes. I think it certainly has to go bill is kind of in New Zealand, when it's drawn out of the biscuit tin. Yes. I think it still has to go through the process and be voted on. But it could soon be a law in the Philippines that if you go somewhere, you'll get community service. Oh, my God. Can you imagine the local courts? Just all these F-boys up the front being like, yeah, I mean, look at me.

I'm a piece of shit. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Well, you might have noticed Instagram's changed up a bit. It hasn't happened to me. According to head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, it is a test to a few percentage of people out there. Because I had the new, you know how they put the inbox down the bottom again?

I had that for like months. And everyone's like, I don't have that yet. I don't know where I'm at with the inbox. Where's your inbox? No, no, top right. Oh, yeah. So I've had it down the bottom for ages. Like it used to be.

So what did you lose down the bottom? Or did you just get another one? I've got home, search, reels, marketplace, which I never click on. I've got that. You've got home, search, add. What's in your top right? Give us a look.

What's in your top right? It's just the settings and likes. Okay, yeah. Yours is different. But I don't have the, when you scroll through, the problem that everybody has with Instagram now who's got this. So, can I went to the social media desk, has this changed? What exactly is different?

Sorry, I don't know if you've got a microphone on. I do. Are you ready to go, baby? What is different about it? So, immediately it's dark mode. See, people have a problem with that, but I love dark. I've got everything on dark mode. No, I don't. Saves battery by BT dubs. Well, it's dark mode. I like that. See, people have a problem with that, but I love dark. I've got everything on dark mode. No, I don't.

Saves battery by BT dubs. Well, it's not for me. Yeah, me neither. I'm a light guy. And then the feed is just TikTok, basically. Yuck. Yeah. I already don't like how many people I'm getting in my feed that I don't follow.

Yeah, so there's more suggested or sponsored posts, more ads. Do you know what I got last night? I got this guy and it opened up and he was telling a story and I'm like, oh, it's stand-up comedy. Right. And so I was watching. It wasn't. I watched it for a minute.

I realised I was watching a church sermon. There was no punchline. It was about Jesus. People aren't liking the algorithms. There's certainly no TikTok algorithm. No. I'm getting suggested so many things that I would never look at. Say what you will about the Chinese government.

They know what you're thinking before you think it. Yeah, they do. Tip of the hat. Anna was saying you don't like the algorithm. No. I just keep getting served all this really irrelevant stuff like cute cat content and little animals. What have you got against cute cats?

No, I don't have anything against cute cats. I just have no business researching them. You know? I like a cute cat if it's in front of me, but I'm not going to look up videos and be like, oh, look at its little booties. I don't care. People hate it because if you've got the new Instagram feed, the photo goes large.

Yeah, so it goes large, but it looks clunky. Like, it doesn't look right. So it goes large, and then you're in this feed of videos. Yeah, and you can't, the stories don't stay at the top anymore. So if I'm halfway down my feed, I'm like, oh, I want to go see that story. Yeah. Well, you're not. Mine doesn't do that.

Mine's never done that. No, because you don't have the new. Oh, you don't have the new one. You don't have the new one. They're trialing it on a few people. But I don't have what Fletch has. My inbox and all that is still at the top. I know, it's weird.

See, I'm trialling it. I'm a trialler as well. You were saying previously that your stories floated down the screen. Yeah, I think so. They just stay there. No, mine are anchored at the top. So you have like a hybrid of both of ours. Yeah, so I mean they're certainly rolling out a few trials to a whole bunch of people.

It's a different experience for everybody. You know, our opinion means nothing. But the opinion of Kylie Jenner means something. Yes. She's posted, reposted that thing that says, make Instagram Instagram again. Stop trying to be TikTok. I just want to see cute photos of my friends. Sincerely, everybody.

Now, last time she spoke out about a social media, it was in 2018, she tweeted, is it just me or is nobody else opening Snapchat anymore? This is so sad. Immediately, they saw a stock plummet of Australian $2 billion. Wow. That is insane, right? So, yeah, just her thoughts led to that. So now that she's posted that,

the big boss of Adam Masseri of Instagram has released this video. We're experimenting with a number of different changes to the app. And so we're hearing a lot of concerns from all of you. If you're seeing a new full screen version of a feed, know that that is a test. And the idea is that a more full screen experience,

not only for videos, but for photos, might be a more fun, engaging experience. But I also want to be clear, it's not yet good. And we're going to have to get it to a good place if we're going to ship it to the rest of the Instagram community. The second thing I'm hearing a lot of concerns about right now are photos and how we're shifting to video. Now, I want to be clear, we're going to continue to support photos. That said, I need to be honest. I do believe that more and more of Instagram is going to continue to support photos that said i need to be honest i do believe that more and more of instagram is going to become video over time so in other words tech talk and reels leave reels in the reels tab yeah if people want it they'll go to it won't they if they want it that disparately yeah oh well well. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.

From the yummy ZM think tank, this is the top six. Well, it was dominant in our headlines, didn't it? The Parliament protest earlier this year. We were just trying to figure out when it was before. It feels like ages ago, but it also could have been last week. Yeah. February. February.

There is going to be a Te Papa exhibit. Yeah. A whole lot of things from the protests. They went around and collected tennis balls thrown at journalists that had freedom written on it. Oh, did they get a couple of the bricks? You know, are they got the cobbles? Any of the pavers?

Fingers crossed. Oh, how fantastic. And the New Zealand police actually released a whole lot of photos, some more photos of people that they want to speak to with regards to property damage. I wish Hayley was here because she thought one of those guys was hot in the last batch. I had a quick squiz through.

I don't think there's any that meets Grail's high levels of attractiveness this time around. But today's top six is the top six museum displays from the parliament protests. Number six. Those beautifully spelled signs. Chef's kiss on the artwork

children. Not bad for 60... What's that, adults? Hello. You might want to work on your spacing because, you know, it's like making a homemade birthday card. You get to the end of the line, you've still got more to write. Like if you write happy birthday on one line, I always split it.

Yep. I'll always split it and then base the size of my birthday off how happy filled up the line above it. Oh, yeah, good. Don't do happy birthday on one. You'll get to the end and DIY will have to be around the corner. Yeah. It's hard making signs.

Yeah, real hard making signs. But it's worth, you know, it's worth spacing it out. We'll do it in pencil first. Yep. Oh, you've got an idea. Then going over with a more permanent solution. Our number five on the list of the top six museum displays from the Parliament protests are that melted slide from where the playground got set on fire.

The good thing about it is the slide was quite big, but now that it's been on fire and it was plastic, very small. Yeah, it shrinks, doesn't it? Very, very much so. Very much so. You can still see the original colour a little bit in the middle

but it's brown around the outside like a pancake. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six museum displays from the Parliament protests are that weed plant that popped up afterwards.

Yeah. It grew in the soil because in the panic someone dropped all their seeds. They could just have it live growing into papa. Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah. That'd be cool. Might have to be behind a glass screen. How big can they get? I don't know, actually.

I've never really thought about the mass, you know, the largest size possible. Because everything's got its limits. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six museum displays from the Parliament protests that will be in Te Papa are cobblestone.

Yes. A cobblestone that they very peaceful protesters who were there in the name of peace and freedom. You remember them? Yeah. When they were peaceful?

The cobblestones that they threw at the police. I remember walking past Parliament when I was here in April after it had finished and it was all looking pretty good. It was still fenced off and the grass was regrowing.

If you're going to plant a new lawn, it's autumn when you want to do it because it's going to have the moisture but then a lot of rain. I don't remember the cobblestones because you wouldn't put those back, right? No, just concrete. I'd have those ripped up, whack down a bit of framing, get a concrete pour.

Yeah, you'd think cobblestones would be kind of phased out any kind of one kilometre of Parliament now, right? Yeah, because you carry those things, they're heavy. You're not going to carry them in a kilometre throw at any politicians. No. Number two on the list of the top six museum displays during the Parliament protests,

a collection of social media posts from New Zealanders and some people in the media who fuelled that fire for weeks on end and then denied any involvement when it all went tits up and playgrounds were on fire and cobblestones were being chucked at the police. Yeah. Remember them? Yeah. Remember all those people? Yeah. That were out there

saying, oh yeah, baiting them along? Yeah. Then, oh no, nothing to do with me, I didn't do anything wrong. Some politicians involved in that as well. And number one on the list of the top six museum displays from the Parliament protests, a poo that was taken on the footpath. They actually dug up the whole bit of footpath around it.

Preserved the poo. Oh, lovely. As was, it'll be in an airtight glass container. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I will apologise in advance for what this is going to do to you because I've just read the story and now I am absolutely starving. Yeah, this is going to make you hungry.

The best toasted sandwich in New Zealand has been announced and it's Okiti Falls, the cafe at Okiti Falls, which I don't know if they've done it. They used to do a beer fest at Labor Weekend, and shit, it was a good time. Yeah, we were hosted down there one Labor Weekend for the beer fest. So much fun. It's on the shores, on the banks of the Lake Rotaiti in Orotaroa.

Yes. Beautiful spot. It's kind of where you start off rafiti. Yes. And Orotaroa. Yes. Beautiful spot. It's kind of where you start off, is it where you start off rafting? Correct. And you go to the highest waterfall that you can commercially raft off. Kaituna Falls?

Kaituna Falls. Kaituna Falls, yeah. Beautiful. It's the one where everyone has a photo and they're like basically. Yeah, you're going down vertically. Yeah. You're trying to look cool,

but you're holding on and screaming for your mum just a little bit. Beautiful. As you climb it off. And like you raft through these like beautiful like fur. It's so cool. It's awesome. And then you can pop back up to the cafe and have a couple of beers and have this toasted sandwich,

which has been at 180 other places across the country. So this is the best toasted sandwich in New Zealand. It is a house smoked beer brined brisket. That's your meat component. Okay. McClure's pickles, which are grey pickles. Where do you get those from? Because I don't mind pickles.

Soup packet and stuff. Okay. Yeah, great pickles. McClure's. McClure's. Okay. Like Troy McClure off The Simpsons. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what I was going to make me. I don't even remember it. I'm Troy McClure. So your brisket, your pickles, hop salted mozzarella. So you've got a stringy cheese, you've got a stretchy cheese. These look like good pickles

because I buy the cheap pickles. Yeah, I'd be nice to, because the kids eat the cheap pickles. If I was the only one eating the pickles, I'd be, because I always fingers in the jar. Well, I don't have annoying kids, so I might splash out for the nice pickles.

Is that the one with the garlic, the whole cloves of garlic in the bottom of one of the pickles? They've got some, and they've got spicy ones, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. What do they call them? Something in tangy? Hot and tangy? Okay.

Pickles? Is that what they're called? Those are delicious. Good stuff. Anyway, we're getting distracted on the pickles there. One element of this amazing sandwich. Pop-salted mozzarella. So the cheese

We've got stretchy cheese Yeah It's not the only cheese Because there's also Smoked cheddar in there Right There's watercress And then for that little

Patang Watercress Yeah I'm going to stop you there For some greenery That's put me off A little bit Watercress also heats well

Yeah It doesn't wilt as much No It's not from the lettuce family As much as it's from the spinach family. Right. It's not, but that's what I'd compare it to when it receives heat. Okay. Spinach heats well.

Lettuce is just just. When you get a panini and it's got lettuce on it and they said, do you want it heated? Yeah. None of it's got lettuce in it. No, no. Lettuce is unheatable. Yeah.

Lettuce just turns into an edible glad wrap at that stage. Yeah. So watercress, and then for the tang, horseradish. So it's got a strong Reuben vibe to it, this toasted sandwich. Wow. Then it's in between two slices of bread asylum cross lumberjack brewing spent grain sourdough. Slathered. I'm notdough. Slathered.

I'm not finished yet. Slathered, okay. In pickle brine sour cream and served with a bear gravy dipping bowl. So you dip the sandwich in the gravy. Wow, okay. And this is the number one toasted sandwich in New Zealand, beating out 100 and something others. That is the number one toasted sandwich.

Who, what's that place Picton has a good toasted sandwich? People rave about that. Did they win these awards? Is that why we talked about this place, the Picton place? No, we talked about them because they'd faced some problem, remember? A noise problem. Noise or smell? Yeah, that's right.

Neighbours were complaining about the smell of the toasted sandwiches in Picton. And then our friend Mike had one and he said it lived up to all expectations. Yeah, is it called Toasty Picton? There's not too much in Picton. And then our friend Mike had one, and he said it lived up to all expectations. Yeah, is it called Toasty Picton? There's not too much in Picton. It probably is. It probably looks like it. I mean, that looks pretty amazing. Yeah, that's the one.

Yeah, no, they won the Hospitality Award final, or they were finalists. Alright. And People's Choice, Toasty Takeover People's Choice 2021. So you might now be like, but Vaughan, the Oketifo store, although it is the crown jewel in the collection that is the

New Zealand Toasted Sandwich winners, this article at the Herald also has the best toasted sandwich by region. Oh, okay. Do you want to – do we have time to run through? I could go. I could quickly run through it. I mean a toasted sandwich.

The public office? The public office. Is that what it's called? That's what it's called. It must be an old post office or something. Is that where I always get my lamingtons from? No, no, no, no, no. No, okay.

You stop at the tea rooms with the stained chairs. Okay. So that's pork. The Okere Falls store ones we've mentioned. Toasty okune is called Owen's Mrs. Who Takes No Schmack. That's a corned beef, pickled carrots, pepper and me schmack sauce. They do a bloody good sauce and sprinkle as well, pepper and me. Do they hate Aucklanders?

Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Fletchford and Hayley's silly little pole, silly little pole.

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. Do you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed? Open. 56%. The majority, just 56%. 44% sleep with their door closed.

If I didn't have a cat, I would sleep with it closed. Like when I didn't have a cat, closed. Why open so the cat can get in and out? Yeah. No, I would shut the cat out and shut the door. That's why I sleep with the door closed. If I shut my cat out, I open the door and there's little bits of door on the carpet.

He'll just claw at it. Or the carpet. He'll claw the carpet and try and dig his way in. I mean, you've left this late. This is like trying to teach your teenager rules. You've let the child run rampant for years. British short-haired cats do what they want, Vaughn. You can't teach them.

Expensive, prone to medical issues, and absolute shitbags with a bad attitude. But they're cute. No, I sleep with it to keep the animals out. Right. If the animals aren't there,

very rarely, I'd sleep with the door open. Right. Do you sleep with hotel doors open or shut? Wide open. Wide open with a welcome in sign on the door. Yeah, yeah, yeah, nice, nice. I have a little sign on the door that says, oh, what could be in here? Yeah.

And then people come in to look and it's me asleep. That's just what I get off on and I won't be judged. Don't kink shame me. Yeah, don't kink shame me. You like to be watched sleeping. Yeah, which is weird because usually people like to watch other people sleeping.

Generally, they don't like it, but I quite like to be watched sleeping. How's your website going? Watchvaughnsleep.com Well, it's been tough lately because more people have got into the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

More attractive people have been off and on. Oh, don't be harling yourself. Oh, well, no, I'm just being fair. You were the original. I was the original. there's nothing to be said for first to market though anymore apparently

yeah Nicole messaged in saying open in summer for air and closed in winter to keep the heat in yeah it's good for the winter keeping the heat in

good for the circulation yeah I wonder if that's what you know causes the condensation in the in our room at home we sleep with the doors shut

so there's not enough air circulating to... Yeah, but if you had it open, it might be colder. Yeah, and the cat would be like in and out. And the dogs would probably just be like coming for a look. No. Big debate in our household says, Sam, I want it open to let all the animals come in.

The partner is a firm no to that happening. Sam, I am with your partner 100%. The bedroom is no place for animals. Even during the day, it drives me nuts if I walk into my bedroom and there's a dog in there. What are you doing in here? Get out. Sometimes a cat will sleep on my bed.

I'll allow a cat visit during the day. Okay. But not a dog. No, no, no. No pets, please. Rachel says, I don't get a choice. My partner hasn't put the doors up yet. There you go.

We had that growing up because Dad was slowly building our house. No doors. And sometimes you just wouldn't have a door. Yeah, yeah, for a bit, eh? Yeah. I need to paint this. Well, and then you needed to buy the doors one day. So, you know, it's just, we got doors eventually.

Yeah. Did he hang them in the door? Because they all come pre-framed now, huh? Yeah, they do. I think they hang them at the time. He was hanging them in the door. Yeah. I'll tell you what, that's a lost think they hang them at the time. He was hanging them in the door. Yeah. I'll tell you what, that's a lost art, says my dad every time he talks about a door.

They come pre-hung now. Lost is the art of hanging a door. Okay, Dad. Off to the rest home with you. Naomi says, I keep it closed to keep the kids and the dog and anyone else out, to be honest. Yeah. Yeah. I think also if you're flatting, you're not, nobody

flattings sleeping with the door open, right? I never did. I can't remember. Did you ever flat and sleep with the door open? Yeah, I think so. Really? Just a jar? No. Maybe a little bit for a little bit of circulation? Yeah, okay. I didn't ever.

Have it shut and locked. Oh, right, for your private time. It's no coincidence that every flat I lived on, I had a lock installed on the door. Yeah, right. I had some private time. Pam says, open when others are in the house. When I'm home alone, closed.

Okay. That's just a security thing, maybe. Makes it feel a bit better. I live with my sister, says Connor, and we'd rather not hear what each other got up to behind closed doors so it's a closed door. Fair call. That's a closed door policy. Zach said I'm a firefighter and if the house

catches on fire during the night you have more chance of survival but he didn't tell us which way he voted. No surely survival is closed because the smoke won't get in. Yeah and then always if there's a fire or a light you put your hand on the door to feel if it's hot. If it's hot on the other side

and then don't open that door. And then if it's hot, you've got to smash your way out the window. Yeah, yeah, because of that movie Backdraft. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He grabbed the handle

and the guy was like, no! And he opened it and the oxygen fueled the flames and it blew them all. That was called the Backdraft. Yeah.

But if you grew up in Hamilton going to the Outback, the Backdraft was that drink that they sprinkled cinnamon on and then lit on fire and then you sucked the gas and then did the shot. Yeah. But if you grew up in Hamilton going to the Outback, the backdraft was that drink that they sprinkled cinnamon on and then lit on fire and then you sucked the gas and then did the shot. Yeah. Both lethal. Both very lethal.

Both have caused many trips to A&E. Livvy says, what psycho sleeps with the door open? That's exactly how monsters always get in. Oh, you're fair call. It's a fair call from Livvy. But then they can also get under the gap in the door at the bottom. Well, it depends what kind of monster you're dealing with. Are you dealing with a spirit or are you dealing with a full-blown,

solid Oogie Boogie man? Can they not go under one-inch gaps? Okay. They've got to knock. Alice says, I'm a die-hard door close, but the real owners of this house, the cats, insist on the doors being open so they can get in at any time. Yeah. Yeah. So the real 50-50 today, get in at any time. Yeah. Yeah.

So the real 50-50 today, or a 45-55. Really close. Really close. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. Well, a new study has found that one in five new young adults, you'd say, or people under the child-bearing age or child-wanting age. Child-harbouring age.

Don't want kids. Okay. That's up to them. I thought it might have been more than that. One in five. I think people change their minds too. You might not be at the space. You might have been asked in your early 20s,

which is when I was like, I don't want children right now. Yeah. I'm but a child myself. And still now, sometimes I think that when I see my children, I'm like,

how do I have them when I am still but a child myself? No, you're not though. It's cool when you're young and your parents have got it sorted out. Your parents didn't have it sorted out.

Your parents are just the bigger versions of you with a job, basically. Yeah. They don't have it all sorted, parents are just the bigger versions of you with a job basically yeah um they don't have it all sorted but i can see why not exactly the world every person dreams of bringing children into at the moment is it no wars famines plagues i mean it's got all your favorite biblical end of humanity situations happening at the moment? So 21.6% of adults do not want children and are therefore child-free, according to the study. Okay. Yeah, they just don't want them.

Like you say, for various reasons. Yeah. They want to travel. Yeah. Or they go on planes and they hear them crying, and that's enough. That's enough. That's enough.

Right, okay. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Those reasons, I was just thinking more of of they might be a bit freaked out about bringing them into a world where, you know, everybody's fingers hovering over a nuclear launch button or the sea levels are rising. But they say that in the study as well, that women who decided in their teens to be child free are still now on average nearly 40 and still don't want them.

Wow. So they're not just like asking 20-year-olds and then that's it. They've kind of done it over a period of time and followed people through and you're seeing if they've changed their minds. Okay. And ended up having them. But yeah, one in five.

And then there's people who you're like, you've had enough and they keep having them. I know. I saw a story the other day, or this week, it was like 16th. I was like, do they just like slide out? She wasn't even that old, that lady. No, no. She wasn't like pushing her luck in her early 60s or something.

I reckon she'd almost have spent more of her life pregnant than she hadn't. Yeah. She obviously started young. You would literally need your bus driver's licence. 100% You'd need to buy an old intercity bus

to get them round. Yeah. Or just do shuttle runs. You know those little school buses the ones where a rural school doesn't have that many kids

but they're legally required to get them home. And it's like imported from Japan and it's tiny seats and it to get them home. And it's like imported from like Japan. Yeah, and it still speaks Japanese. And it's tiny seats and it's, yeah. Yeah. And you open the door and it greets you in Japanese.

Yeah, emergency exits in Japanese. You know that it's the emergency exit because it's in red and there's a little hammer next to it. Yeah, and your oldest kids have just by osmosis learnt Japanese. Yeah. Because they've always had to drive around in one of those buses. Crazy. Play. ZM's Flet morning getting her colonoscopy. So she'll be back tomorrow on the show.

Yep. Talking about accents now, we want to talk about accents. Tom Hardy, the British actor, it turns out American audiences can't understand him. Yeah. It turns out American audiences can't understand them. Yeah, now here's a real dead-end story, but I saw a headline saying, why did Gen Z millennials fall in love with subtitles? And I didn't click it, I didn't read it, but I love, I always have the subtitles on.

Always have the subtitles on. No, I find them annoying, unless I'm watching like a foreign film. A film? A film, a foreign film. No, I just have them on because I live in a noisy house, I guess. Like there's always going ons. Oh, no, I tell the kids to go to bed or something.

And then if you're watching something at the gym, I have it on because I'm huffing and puffing. Yeah, right. And it's just easy if you're like, I missed that. You look down real quick. You're like, oh, that's the word that they said. Sometimes like it ruins jokes or it ruins, like they might be out of sync. Yeah, it might be a little bit ahead. It might be a little bit ahead.

Well, maybe that's why Americans are flocking to subtitles because they can't understand any accent that's not theirs. Tom Hardy, apparently the hardest person for Americans to understand. He is a bit of a mumbler though. He mumbles. He does kind of mumble and is a bit of a mumbler, though. He mumbles. He does kind of mumble and have a bit of a gruff voice, doesn't he? And he plays, yeah, when he gets into character, he like fully goes into the character he doesn't worry about.

Because, you know, there are so many people in real life that are super hard to understand. Yeah. These are the list of actors who are hardest to understand. Tom Hardy was in at number one. Sofia Vergara. Oh, yeah. At number two. Arnold Schwarzenegger, three. Yeah. I thought everybody are hardest to understand. Tom Hardy was in it, number one. Sofia Vergara, number two.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, three. Yeah. I thought everybody got used to that. Yeah, also he has like four-word lines in movies. Yeah. Sean Connery. Oh, yeah. Johnny Depp.

He did a lot of mumbling in the Pirates movie. That was kind of his character, right? Jackie Chan, Ozzy Osbourne, who I heard speak at the weekend. Oh, because he hasn't been well, eh? Well, he's just aging. But he's got a new song out and he sings and it still sounds the same. Oh, right. But his talking's worse and worse.

Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Caine and James McAvoy are the top ten. So again, anyone foreign. Yeah. Everybody apart from Johnny Depp is an American on that list. And this is what we wanted to ask this morning because if you've travelled, especially to America, and it's so hard. They just think you're speaking another language.

Yeah. Especially our Kiwi accent. Yeah, and then you've got to slow it down. Yep. And to say my name, I'll have to speak American. Yes. Because they just have no idea. Yeah.

Both your name and your nickname. Because we've had interviews with people over Zoom or the phone when they're setting it up. And they say, so, Flitch. Flitch. Yeah. It's Flitch and Vaughn. Flitch. Hi, Flitch.

Hi, Flitch. Flatch. Flatch. Flatch. Like the Chevy Chase movies. Yeah. And Coral. Yeah.

I'd say my name's Coral. Really roll it. Yeah. God, we're cute. Oh, we're so, they love us. Oh, my God. Yeah, they love us. We're so cute. Yeah, and Coral. Yeah. I'd say my name's Coral. Really roll it. But it is. God, we're cute. Oh, we're so, they love us. Yeah, they love us. We're so cute. Yeah, we're adorable.

Yeah, I've got a friend in the US at the moment. He's staying in a real posh house. He got to do a job dog walking, and he said it's just because of this cute accent. And he's staying in these rich people's house because they just thought he was real cute. They thought he was cute. It is quite a trustworthy accent, our accent, too. Do you think so? I don't trust a single word out of an American's mouth.

Oh, yeah, yeah, fair. But I think the New Zealand accent's quite a trustworthy. Yeah, so it's cute. Maybe we seem a little too daft to pull off any great scams. Certainly puts us up to like a nine or a ten. Absolutely. That's for sure. Absolutely.

A few points on it. But we wanted to know when there's been a communication problem with your accent. Yeah. With your New Zealand accent when you've been travelling or your accent when you've been travelling. Maybe somebody just completely misunderstood you. Maybe they took offence because they thought you were saying something completely different. Like when we say we're out sitting on the deck enjoying the sun,

they don't know what that means. They think we're out on the... You've got to say porch. Yeah, you've got to say porch. Porch or patio. In America, absolutely. So a list of actors has come out that Americans just The other thing. You've got to say porch. Yeah, you've got to say porch. Porch or patio. In America, absolutely. So a list of actors has come out that Americans just can't understand.

Tom Hardy tops the list. It's basically anyone like Sean Connery was on there, R.I.P. He's... Always forget he's dead now. Remember that? He was living on a Caribbean island and he died like a couple of years ago now.

R.I.P. Because I thought of him in that new Nicolas Cage movie when they were talking about The Rock. Oh, really? The movie The Rock?

Yeah, yeah. Great movie. There's so many references to Nicolas Cage's career. That movie, by the way. I've got to see it. You've got to see it. The unbearable weight

of talent or something. So we want to know when you've been in America and the accent has caused you problems, because the Kiwi accent, you may as well be speaking a completely different language. Oh, anywhere. The Kiwi accent, what do we do? We drag some vowels and we rush through others.

Jackie, what happened? Sorry, I wasn't in America. I obviously misheard them. No, no, no, no. It's anywhere in the world. I was open to anywhere. Yeah. I was in Europe doing a top-dig tour.

Oh, yeah. And I ordered a sex on the beach cocktail. Yeah. And they made me six of them because it was an Australian bartender and they said six on the beach. They made six drinks. No, that would have been six, six on the beach.

Six, six. Yeah, well, I know. And I was like, well, I'm 18, and I can't actually afford six cocktails, but thanks. And did you have to pay for all of them? Some other guy on the tour paid for it, so it was all right. See, that's the thing. It was a mistake, but then the cute accent got you out of the trouble. Exactly.

Like somebody messaged in, their partner's American and whenever I talk about lollies or fizzy drink, she says New Zealanders speak like babies. And we do. All of our words are like kids' words. Lolly, lolly. How much fun is lolly to say?

But it's like, lolly. Such a lazy word to say. Oh my god, we've cracked it. That's why they think we're cute. It's because we speak like babies. Jackie, thanks. You're cool. Right now though, talking about when your Kiwi accent or when your accent has got you into a misunderstanding overseas.

Yeah. Our cute little accent. Our cute little accent has got us in big trouble. Some text messages to start off. My name's Jess and I'm Australian. Kiwis always call me Jass. Jass. Jass. Unless I introduce myself as Joss. Joss. Jess and I'm Australian. Kiwis always call me Jass. Jass? Jass. Unless I introduce myself as Juss.

Juss. It's me, Jessica. One time I told my boyfriend it was socks and it was time to wake up and he thought I was waking him up for a little morning nooks. That'll work though. Someone said, ask any Kiwi who's worked in a UK pub when something costs 10 pounds and they ask for it.

That'll be 10 pounds. 10 pounds. That'll be 10 pounds. Never works. Sarah just got back from the States. My name's Sarah. My sister's name's Charlotte. We ordered smoothie bowls and when the names got called out, they were for Sierra and Shallot.

Yeah. A shallot, of course, named after a small oniony situation. So many messages. Carla, what happened? My misunderstanding, I was in LA and I needed to get to the post office and back to post the passport back to New Zealand. And I needed to get back quickly because I had the tourist bus that come around to the motels and pick up you to go to,

I think it was like Legoland or something like that. So I hopped in the taxi cab and I was like, I need to go to the post office and I need you to wait for me. I'm going to post the box and come back. And he's like, what? I was like, I need you to wait for me. And he's like, wait? And I was like, no, not wait. Wait. I need you to wait for me.

And anyway, I must have said it like 20 times. Wait. And he's like, what's wait? What's wait? What wait thing do you want? And I was like, no, I want you said it like 20 times, like, wait. And he's like, what's white? What's white? What white thing do you want? And I was like, no, I want you to wait. Stop. Stay. Stay. We got to the post office and I was like, just go, mate.

Just go. I can't do this anymore. Just go. And then my tourist bus with all the tourist people on it to come round to the post office to pick me up because I couldn't get back. I mean, that probably worked out all right in the end, didn't it? If they came to the post office to pick me up because I couldn't get back. I mean, that probably worked out alright in the end, didn't it?

If they came to the post office. You were probably like, go, go and he's like, it's alright, I can wait. Yeah. I got out of the post office and he was still sitting there and I was like, oh. I give up, I give up. Amazing. Carla, thanks for your call. Chloe, when did your accent cause a little bit

of trouble? So, when I was living in the States, I was an au pair, and I was looking after my host kid. And after about eight months, he ended up needing speech therapy because he didn't know how to pronounce R's anymore. R's. Oh, my God. We do do a sort of an A or an AH instead of an R.

Yeah. Unless you're from... Like, get in the car. Get in the car. Get in the car. They say, what, get in the car, and we're like, get in the car. But then Boston says, get in the car. Car.

Car. Yeah. I wonder if that's the first time I've ever heard of that, because there are so many Kiwi au pairs and nannies. Yeah. I wonder if that would be a thing. They're messing up the accents of all those beautiful

little children. Yeah, yeah. That was me. Did he get his R's back? I believe so. Okay. After I left. Because you don't sound

like you're from Southland. No, you don't. I was expecting you to have a real R. No, because she cost him the R's so she wasn't doing the R's. Yeah, right. Dro in the R's, so she wasn't doing the R's. Yeah, right. Yeah, okay. Alright, Chloe, thanks for your call.

Henry, this was Camp America that caused you some problems. Yeah, it's all over, guys. I did Camp America a few years ago and when we did first day training, I just drew fast pitches instead.

So when it came time, they asked me, oh, who could do the posters? Everybody went, oh, Henry, because look at his booklets. They just filled the pitches instead of the work he's meant to be doing. So I started drawing one of the big posters that they asked me to do. And I made a little bit of a mistake and I just asked out loud. I was like, oh, does anybody have a rubber? Yeah, no time for a condom here, Henry. That means a condom, doesn't it?

Yeah, not an... What would they say? A razor. An eraser. Yeah, an eraser. Yeah, that was pretty fun. Yeah, yeah, amazing. But on the other side of things,

I do hear if you go to Camp America, the other council, some of the other councils, you might need a bloody rubber. You might need some rubbers. Might need a bloody rubber, yeah, amazing. But on the other side of things, I do hear if you go to Camp America the other council, with some of the other councils, you might need some rubbers. Henry, thanks for your call. Some messages in. So many messages. Instagram, Vicky says cousins from the UK were here and they kept

thinking we were being mean to their son by calling him Bin, but his name's Ben, but we just say Bin. Thought we were being really mean to him. Brony says we're in in America, and I said, ah, my jandals are wet, and all the Americans stopped and looked at me because they thought I said genitals. That will stop a crowd if you announce that your genitals are wet.

Visiting family in England, I told my husband we needed to leave to make a 10 a.m. check-in. The English family couldn't understand why I was so obsessed with having make a 10 a.m. check-in. The English family couldn't understand why I was so obsessed with having chicken at 10 a.m. They said it's not really a lunch. It's not really a breakfast meat. So good. And so many, just so many text messages in.

Somebody was in New York and blew a shoe, so they went into Foot Locker, and they found the one they wanted, and the lady said, I'll go check out back for your size. And as she turned around, I said, sweet as. Yeah, no. Yeah, I got a big serving and I just couldn't understand what I was going, why? Because everybody thought I said sweet ass.

Yeah, no, sweet ass. Sweet ass. Yeah, you don't say that over there. Sweet ass. Somebody else said, whenever I go to the southern states in America, people always have their mind blown when they ask me where I'm from and I say New Zealand, and then they say you speak mighty fine English for a foreigner.

And it always only happens in the south. Yeah, of course it does. Yeah. Someone said, when I go overseas now, I just write everything down for people and pass it to them because it's just so much easier. I mean, when I go overseas now, I just write everything down for people and pass it to them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's just so much easier. I mean, they speak English too.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a wildly different use of vowels. Yeah, all right. One, one, two, go. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Hey, you on the phone, I bet I can Guess Your Mum's Name.

We are joined this morning by Georgia. Good morning, Georgia. Good morning. How are you going? Good. Now, Vaughan will now have five questions to ask you about your mum. And then after that, we'll have 15 seconds to try and guess her name. That's how I bet I can guess your mum's name works.

Yeah, that is how it works. I've totally dealt with it. I've got no paper. No room on my paper. Jared, could we please get a blank sheet? Oh, this is not a good start, is it? An artist needs his canvas, Georgia. An artist needs his doodle

space. There you go. Okay, we've got some paper. An artist needs his doodle space. Oh, thank you. There you go. Okay, we've got some paper. I beg your pardon? An artist needs his doodle space. Not that much. Who have you been talking to? Famously, not a lot of them. Famously, right. Not a lot required.

Okay, all right. So you've got some paper now, Vaughan. Yeah. Five questions for Georgia. Yeah. Question number one. What's mum's favourite biscuit? What has mum always got in the...

I'd say my mum's always got sugar raspberries. Okay. The wine biscuit, definitely. Ew! You're saying her favourite biscuit is a wine biscuit. Yeah, with butter. Butter!

Would she have earned a Girl Guide biscuit? Yeah, definitely. With the chocolate base. Wait, Would she have earned a Girl Guide biscuit? Yeah, definitely with the chocolate base. Wait, so she... Oh, wow, this mum. A buttery super wine. How fascinating. I think my mum's like a Toffee Pops.

I think that would be her. Bev! That is so glamorous. She's certainly not a super wine. Okay, now I'm not thinking mum's name's going to be too out of the box then. Jan. It's going to be your Jans and your Lindas. Marie.

Marie probably loves a super wine, doesn't she? Linda. Marie. Janice. Yeah, I've got to put a Karen. You've always got to have a Karen on the list. Could be a Janice. Yep.

Barbara. Helen. Oh. I mean, always got to have a Karen on the list. It could be a Janice. Yep. Barbara, Helen. Oh. I mean, you're really insulting a lot of people here. Super wine mum names. It'll be nothing out of the box. And then you've named all these. What's mum's go-to flower? Like, what is she like for flowers?

Like, does she grow them? Or if dad was going to bring home flowers what would they... Is she a gardening mum? Yeah, definitely not a gardening mum. We're thinking more along the lines of if she got a bouquet of flowers then. Yeah, she'd go for a white lily

if she did. She'd go for a white lily. Classy. A classy mum. A classy dame that loves a super wine slathered with butter. Classy. I'm getting all kinds of mixed pictures here. Yeah.

White lily. That kind of also tells me that she produces... Sharon? This could be a Sharon. A Sharon with the white lilies. With a Y. She could be a lily. She could be a lily.

Yeah, a lily. Put down lily. Or a Sharon with an O. Definitely a Sharon with an O. She's a a Lily. Yeah, a Lily. Put down Lily. Or a Sharon with an O. Definitely a Sharon with a low. She's a Sharon. No, mum's just messaged saying she does like a toffee pop, but favourite chocolate biscuit is actually a macaroon. You know, the coconut ones?

They're good. Yeah, they're not a bad biscuit, actually. Not a bad biscuit. Not a bad biscuit. And you can hammer them? Yeah. That's why I'm thinking now, I'm thinking George's mum loves hammering a few wine biscuits,

guilt-free hammering a biscuit, you know? Yeah, okay. Because if she hammered a whole row of Toffee Pops, oops, there's a lot of guilt associated with hammering a whole pack of Toffee Pops. Slam a whole pack of like arrow roots, wine biscuits, malt biscuits. Yeah, but then you've also had like 250 grams of butter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, but like, I'm just thinking perceived guilt. Yeah, perceived guilt.'ve also had like 250 grams of butter. Yeah, I know, but I'm just thinking

perceived guilt. Yeah, perceived guilt. It's all about perceived guilt when I'm binging food. Yeah. What else? What else? Do I have Helen on the list? It's an H name. Tracy? Have you got a Tracy?

I don't have a Tracy. I'll put that up. Belinda. What about a Belinda or a Lindy? Oh, I've got a Tracy? I don't have a Tracy I'll put that up Belinda What about a Belinda or a Lindy? Oh I've got Linda But I don't have Belinda Belinda Okay Belinda Belinda Do you reckon Belinda? Yeah I mean

She's a young She's a young mum Robin okay. She's a young, she's a young mum. Robin? Could she be a Robin? Could be a Robin. Could be a Robin. Could be a Nancy. Now I'm just down names of Stranger Things, to be honest. Okay.

Yeah, put a Kate down there. Do you think we need a bit of a younger, like a 50, if she's in her 50s, have we gone, are we in the right? Thinking of Kate? Could be a Kate? I just literally wrote down Kate. You just literally, Jesus Christ. I'm losing my mind.

I was like, what are you? Okay. Who's in their early 50s? Mum, White Lilies and Super Wines. A couple of names have come to mind. I put a Pat down there too. A Pat? Just in case.

It's not going to be Pat. I know, but just in case. No 54-year-old called Pat. Pat took a break around that time. What would, now this is to assume, are mum and dad still together? No. Okay. I was going to ask what does mum yell at dad about,

but obviously he ended in divorce. What about siblings names? That could be a good one. Does your mum have a new partner? Like is there a stepdad on the scene? Yes. What does she yell at him about? I'd probably just say more general, you know,

the old cooking or cleaning or nothing. I don't know, nothing major. Right, so your sort of domestic duties. Yeah. Okay. Sort of a yell. Okay. You don't want to like drop, I don't know, you don't want mum on marriage number three, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Okay. Sort of a yell. Okay. You don't want to like drop, I don't know,

you don't want mum on marriage number three, you know what I'm saying? You don't want to end this one. And I so badly want to ask, but I'm not going to ask about the first, but your mum and dad's arguments. I just want to admit it's not the time to talk about it. And what kind of car does mum drive? A blue BMW. Ooh.

Series 3, Series 5, Series 7, four-wheel drive, M5. I honestly don't know. They're living over in Australia at the moment, so I'm not sure. Is it big? Is it a big four-wheel drive thing, or is it like a small car with two doors? Small car with two doors. small car with two doors?

Small car with two doors. Small car with two doors. Okay, so a zippy little beamer. Zippy little beamer. She loves white lilies and super wine slathered in butter. And she's living in Australia. Mixed messages here. Is she living on the Goldie?

On the Sunshine Coast. Yeah. I was going to say Sunshine. She's got a real Noosa feel. It's got a real Tracy kind of vibe to me, like a real Sharon Tracy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tracy kind of vibe to me. Like a real Sharon Tracy. That kind of like, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah.

Ooh. Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um. I feel like you're not quite there today. Well, we'll see. Um, Louise. Did you put a, what about a Lorraine? She'd go by Lou. You know, like a Lorraine.

She's a young Lorraine. A Lorraine, Tracy, Sharon kind of vibe. Lorraine. A Joe. Could be a Joe. I'm feeling Joe. Oh, yeah, Joe. Yeah, that could be just.

And then I could imagine Hillary Barry smashing a pack of biscuits, you know? And just be like, to hell with it. Not super wines, though. Slathered in butter. She might, though. You reckon? Well, you could ask her.

Just give her a message. Yeah. I reckon I'm going to ask her, because I picture she wouldn't be afraid of a Girl Guide or a Super Wine. Yeah, I think she'd be more of a chocolate ooh-la-la biscuit, to be honest. Yeah, that's why she was after Wendy, because I imagine Wendy Petrie's not afraid of smashing a couple of Super Wines either. No.

All right, well, congratulations, Georgia. $100. Bonus round. While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name. Now, it has triggered the bonus round. $100 if Vaughan can guess your dad's name. Not stepdad.

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Well, a study out of the Middle East, out of Israel, has delved into flirting when you're in a relationship. Okay. So what they're looking at is like, not like, I don't know if you'd call it, would you call it light flirting? Whereas you might just make a nice- Flirting light, like you haven't paid for full membership.

You're just getting an introductory beta package. Well, it's a light flirt. It could be maybe liking some photos or commenting or, I don't know. Okay. I mean, you probably shouldn't do that when you're in a relationship, but people do, don't they? Yeah.

And that's what this study looked at, at this kind of flirting. What do you mean, sending a DM? Well, yeah, maybe. Right, okay. Even though it might not be overly sexual in nature. I don't know. Overly sexual in nature. They're just talking about online flirting. So you would never do it in real life,

but you would do it online. So anything that you're doing online, that's good. I'm going to help myself. In person, online. They love you. They love you. People's mums.

That's maybe why I can guess their names. They gravitate to me. Okay, so you shouldn't do this because flirting or having interactions with someone that is not your romantic partner, this study has found that they have a subtle and unconscious effect on how you perceive your real-life loved one. So in other words, flirting online may lead someone to see their partner as less attractive because over time, you're having these interactions and it's causing you to find them less

attractive over time. Yeah, that's what they've found. It's got a domino effect and it's making individuals more likely to release passionate feelings towards people other than their partner. Right. What if you've got a lot of passion? What if you're overflowing with passion?

And what if the old ladies just love you? They just love it. They just love you. And to be honest, I get a little bit more back from them than I get from Sade sometimes. Right. They chuck a little flirt their way and they're like, what's going on here?

Yeah, and then Sade sees it. Yeah, and it makes her try harder. That's what it's all about. It's the old bait and switch. Yeah, yeah. It's the old bait and switch It's the old bait and switch Yeah She sees that lady in her late 50s Absolutely getting

You know The good stuff The side eye Couple of smooth lines You know No harm, no foul The old girls love it And Shadi

Then is like I gotta give this guy a little bit more credit. With credit's due. She'll be listening in the car right now. Oh, yeah, she knows. She knows. But she's just used to it, isn't she? She sees what I'm like when I'm unleashed in the bloody, at the bingo, at the housey.

Yeah, of course. Yeah, the golf club. Yep. Acqua jogging. Well, I'm not allowed to go there anymore. No. God, what a hit I was. Yeah.

Just getting all pinched under the water and such. And your speedos. Yeah. Well, I don't wear them anywhere else. Yeah. I was getting all pinched under the water and such. And your speedos? Yeah. Well, I don't wear them anywhere else. Yeah. Give the old girl something. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Fanta. This just sounds like big fizzy trying to get in the podcast game.

Well, we'll see. I'll tell you the history. Okay. You can tell me if they'd still be pleased that it's in the podcast. Oh, okay. In the podcast realm. Blows my mind. So the initial fact I started out with was,

do you know that Fanta is older than Sprite? I mean, I guess. Sure. Fanta is older than Sprite? I mean, I guess, sure. Fanta is older than Sprite. Sprite's lemonade. I assume lemonade had been around forever and ever. Yeah, fair call. So, and the first appearance of Sprite, it was called Claire Lemon Fanta.

What? Was it an attempt to get rid of the food colouring that hyperacted children? It was just an attempt to try different Fanta flavours, as there are many Fanta flavours now. Yeah, right. Originally developed in West Germany in 1959. So the Fanta line and its name was Clear Lemon Fanta. It was quite popular, but they're like, it's a long name.

Clear Lemon Fanta. We want to bring this but they're like, it's a long name. Claire Lemon Fanta. We want to bring this back. And they brought it back as Sprite. And then it took off in the US market. Took off, hasn't looked back. Nice. Still going strong. So then I was like, what the hell was West Germany doing developing its own Fanta line?

Yeah. Fall in line, West Germany. That's what I thought. It all comes out of the US, surely. Yeah. So then I was like, well, I don't actually know the origins of Fanta line. Yeah. Fall in line West Germany, that's what I thought. It all comes out of the US, surely. Yeah. So then I was like, well, I don't actually know the origins of Fanta. Uh-oh, this is very close to World War II and the Nazis. Bingo! Here we go. Bingo! During World War II, the US established a trade embargo against Nazi Germany, making the export of Coca-Cola syrup very difficult. To get around this, the export of Coca-Cola syrup very difficult. To get around this, the head of Coca-Cola,

Deutschland, Max Keith, created a new product for the German market using only ingredients available in Germany at the time. Now, you'll remember World War II was very hard on the German country. Yes. Or everything was just kind of put into the war effort. Yeah. So he had to make a drink using what he had available,

these ingredients. At the time, beet sugar. So that's sugar from beets. Yeah. So that's not your sugar cane. Yeah. It's beet sugar. Whey, which was a byproduct of cheese production,

which now you have as protein to- Oh, brah, brah. It's in my protein, brah. Yeah. Or on poutine. Oh, should we do poutine after the show? I could do poutine after the show. It's one of those days.

And apple pumice. Now, I'm not sure I'm saying that right. That's basically like the pulpy leftovers of any juice production. Think grapes, think olives, think apples. The pulpy stuff that they can't get any more juice out of. Okay. So he set about making this.

He came up with a formula and then he went to the team and said, use your imagination. Or imagination, the German word for imagination, fantasy. Oh, I see what's happening here. So then they shortened it to Fanta, to like use your imagination. So then after the end of World War II, American Coca-Cola comes back in and gets complete control of the plant and any intellectual property or anything.

And they're like, what's this? And they're like, that's Fanta. Yeah. And bingo. Fanta, Fanta. Fanta got around and became like this symbol because then it was East and West Germany. Yeah.

This is how they should teach history. Oh yeah, this is, yeah, exactly. Because it East and West Germany. Yeah. This is how they should teach history. Oh, yeah. Because it's about Fanta. Yeah. I mean, I don't remember anything about history at school. I remember. Apart from gerbils. What?

Himmler and gerbils. Gerbils. Gerbils. One of them. Gerbils. But if they'd come in with Fanta from the start. Put Fanta on the table and be like, what does anybody know about this and its relation to World War II?

You're wasted in teaching. You should go and get the sweet holidays these teachers get. Shit, yeah. And teach some future generations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And have to deal with all the parents that don't want their kids wearing masks. Man, that sounds cool right now. Should these guys get paid again?

We joke, but teachers, you do an amazing job. You do a godsend. You need eight an amazing job. You do a godsend. You need eight times the pay. You're doing godsend. So then Fanta was back in control and became like the symbolism of the American Western civilization's part of controlled Germany because East Germany didn't have any because it was under communist rule.

So it was a little bit of a la-di-da, we've got Fanta. Amazing. Yeah. And then Sprite came later because it was... Sprite, when they were like, well, this is popular, let's rub it more in the Russians' faces. The East Germans. And oh, la-di-da, we can do flavours. What is flavour? And that sort of thing. They made the line and they called it Clear Lemon Fanta and it was so popular, they were like, this needs to be a full-time drink, but not called Clear Lemon Fanta, we'll rebrand it Spr like this needs to be a full time drink but not called Clear Lemon Fanta we'll rebrand it Sprite

and that ladies and gentlemen is the story of how World War 2 gave us Sprite fact of the day day day day

day I do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, know. I was like, if we were downstairs and it was dinner time, or it was the same when you were waking up, it was like,

Calf! Skate! Dinner! Or it was like, Calf! Dinner time! And you'd be like, Jesus, who is your mother? Well, she had a booming voice. Bev could really hit the notes.

You know, it's just Boys, you just did. I haven't told Sade this and I'm somewhat reluctant to. Will she be? Yeah, she's not going to be in the car anymore. I'm going to roll the dice on this one. There were two magpies talking to each other in a tree. I was at one side of our

house and some magpies were in another and they were like and I 100% thought Sade and her mum were talking. I was like, are they outside? They come outside every day. Magpie. Magpie. And that's why I haven't told her. No, I probably wouldn't know. But hearing you being like, girl, stop. It was like, get it ready! We came from a yelling family. Oh, yeah, yeah. Even now, Shade will be like, oh, don't. Like if I'm asking the kids to do something

or saying it's time. She wouldn't yell at them. I'm like, this is just the Smith volume. Yeah. We're making an announcement. I'm not yelling. There's no intent in this tone. It's just yelling.

Yeah, when you're being yelled at, you know that you have to do it, right? Yeah. It's impossible to deny hearing something if it was screamed in a three-bedroom house at 120 decibels. So now it's all text message. Nuts.

That's crazy. I know someone that had like an Alexa situation set up. Alexa dinner time and then that meant the lights because they had those Philips lights would like flash

in case they had headphones on and the little Alexas would be like dinner time, dinner time, dinner time. You could probably

even turn off the router to be honest on your app. Yeah, you could turn off the wifi. That'll get everybody out pretty bloody quickly. But yes,

people are texting. It's all texting. That's crazy. What about some good old yelling? That's the. What about some good old yelling? That's the problem there. Parents aren't yelling enough. Girls, dinner time.

Don't give your, when you think of your name, if you're about to have a baby, you've got to remember anything longer than two syllables is really hard to yell. Indy, August. That's bang, bang, bang, bang. Kyle, Scott. Your mum nailed it with the yelling names.

Vaughn. Vaughn. I was easy. Philip, Michelle, Vaughn! I was easy. Philip, Michelle, Vaughn. Philip, Michelle. Like a horn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Horn!

Just trying to think of a really long syllable name that would be a nightmare to yell as a parent. Oh, well, Indy's full name is Indiana. Indiana's a horn. Indiana!

Oh, no, you can't yell that. That's not... Nah, nah, nah. Just get a little punchy name that's easier to yell. Play. ZM's Flety name that's easier to yell. Now, before I tell you why you should collect those little silica gel packets that are in everything, you know, you have them in the little multivitamins? Yeah.

Or you buy something and there's always a little gel. Shoes? Yep, yep. I think anywhere that moisture is... Anywhere that can be damp. Moist. Anywhere that's moist or damp, it sucks up the moisture. Before I tell you why you should collect those little packets,

does anybody on the show want to admit to eating one of those? Not me. Yep. Producer Anna. You were young though right? No it was last week How old were you? I would say probably four

Oh I thought you were like 24 when this happened Oh well this isn't funny This is dangerous and bad parenting This is sort of a warning What happened when you ate this little packet? I went into mum and I think I started like low-key foaming at the mouth.

And she was like, oh, what's happened here? And I just was holding the packet. And so we scooted to the A&E and I think I had to take like a charcoal drink sort of situation. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. And I just did some very unusual business for a few days. Those charcoal pills.

I took some charcoal pills and barley, and they suck up everything, don't they? Yeah. And then your poos is like this. Super black. Yeah, it's like a soft serve black. Yuck. Sorry for the images.

Yeah, it's quite something. So a tech writer has said the reason you should keep these little packets and just put them in like a... I've got them in a zip slide bag in the battery drawer. Yeah, or you chuck them in like an old sustainer or something, like one that's had ebolognase in it and it's stained it. Slightly stained. Yeah, one of those.

And then he's saying they come in handy for anything that gets like, any tech that gets waterlogged. Oh, that's why I've got it. Because if your phone ever gets wet, you put it in the bag with it and you zip it. You think rice does a great job. Do you see silica gel do its stuff. Would the same work for the cat litter that I use?

It's silica crystals? Because that's the same thing. That's why silica is a great cat litter. Yeah. Because all the smell and the liquid goes. But I don't know if it would just suck it up from nothing. Yes. It should.

Because he's saying that. But then the dust of the silica could also be problematic Yeah true So this tech writer had some brand new air pods That got dunked in water And he put them in with all these silica gel pads That he'd been collecting And now they work fine

Right So same with that phones Anything that you know Yeah you dunk in water Yeah yeah That's why I've kept them in a bag He doesn't say how long Right. So same with that, phones, anything that, you know, yeah, you dunk in water, just chuck it in the nose. He doesn't say how long. He said he left them there for like a day. Right.

But I don't know if that's kind of the usual. Can you still buy a damprood? Is that the same thing? Because that's opening up a tub of silica crystals, isn't it? Yeah, and you would put it in the corner of your wardrobe, and if you had like a damp room, it would keep your clothes from going mouldy. So silica crystals. Yeah, and you would put it in the corner of your wardrobe and if you had like a damp room, it would keep your clothes from going mouldy. So silica gel... I mean, we should have just built houses

with proper insulation and stuff the first time around. But you know, whatever. We'll deal with this however we can. So these silica gel packets and silica can take 40% of its weight in water and bring down the humidity of the air around at 40%. So it'll just suck any water out

of devices. Perfect. So that's why you should keep them. But out of reach of children. They do look like little packets of jelly crystals. And like you said, Anna, foaming at the mouth. Yeah. I wouldn't recommend. But you get a trip to the hospital though, don't you? True. Yeah, man. It's pretty cool being a parent waiting around there

for six hours. That's real neat when the health system's already absolutely under the palm. You're getting frequent flies at the hospital, aren't you? At A&E? I've got to go and see. Well, if you enjoyed that, give us a rating and review and be sure to tell your mates. You know what?

I reckon your script reading's getting better. I think it is too. I give it five stars. Thank you. Just like I'd give this podcast. I'm telling my friends about your script reading too. Thank you. Much like I'm going to do about this podcast.

Thank you, Vaughan and Hayley, for that. Good boy. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
