Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Fawn and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Download the McDonald's app and earn rewards on your coffee. Now I know people are wanting to know and I just wanted to give a hot update that the marching season has started. I was actually wondering this the other day and then I saw you post a couple of days ago the photo of your boots on your Instagram. Do you always march on, serious question, what surface? Wood, concrete? You wouldn't be marching on the grass at this time of year? It's as muddy as buggery out there. It used to be a real grass

sport. I always marched on grass growing up, but now not so much. You get a turf or a concrete court, and Nationals is always inside in an arena. Right, so it's now, and when does it finish? March. Nationals is in March.

Marching, Marching, Nationals in March. Yeah, it's not hard to remember, is it? Is that on purpose? I don't know. I think, no, it's just the end of the good season. Right. End of the good weather. Okay.

So you'll march pretty much every weekend now until March. Yeah. Every single weekend. You get a little break between Christmas and New Year's, but then it's all go. Does part of you not be fucked at the weekend? Yeah, me? No, that's my weekend.

I remember when I first moved to Auckland, I kept playing cricket at the weekends. And you'd just spend the whole day playing cricket. And then you'd be like, that was such a waste of time. I don't know. I've just done it my whole life. So I just have a different relationship to weekends. Right.

Because weekends are always marching time. So on Saturday you'll do marching and then Sunday marching. Yeah, so at the moment because it's the start of the season, we're just doing one day a week, but it'll go to three days. So you do Saturday all day, Sunday all day, and Wednesday nights. Is there any newbies in your team? Heaps of newbies. We've got lots of fresh blood in the team.

So you think you, as the public face of marching, have drawn in the new blood? Do they see you as the old gal? I am a bit of an old horse. Yeah. Okay. I am a bit of an old horse in the team. Any promising up-and-comers? Yeah, tell you what, a few new girls, and I was getting excited yesterday.

A tall girl. Oh, okay. And I've always been the tallest in my team. Taller than me. Couldn't believe it. Wow. I felt shook. So these Nationals, when do they happen?

In March. And how many days? Over three days. Oh, we've got to do the show from the Nationals. Oh, it's in, I think it's in Hamilton. It's not that far away. I take that back. Beautiful spot.

Oh, come on. We've got some studios down there. I take it back. Yeah, whereabouts in Hamilton? Claude Lins. I think it'll be at Claude Lins. Oh, beautiful arena. I've done that a couple of times in Claude Lins.

Yep. Fantastic. We've got to come to the Marching Nationals March. For those overseas that don't know, this is kind of a New Zealand only sport. Yes, so people are thinking marching band. No, you just march around a field and you're all kind of in unison. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And that's it? Yeah, that's it. Okay. How many points do you get for a goal? A goal? What's a goal? Well, I'm sure there's some kind of goal. Point scoring system.

Precision is the goal. Precision is the goal. Precision is the goal. So you get points for preciseness. It used to be a deduction system, but now it's an awarded system. Is there some sort of laser measuring? So you've got four different judges. They all look at

different things. And then display has two other judges. But like someone's looking at upper body. You're telling me there's six judges watching this? Someone's looking at upper body. Someone's looking at feet, someone's looking at structure, and then another one's looking at patterns, another one's looking at expression. He'd be all about the upper body, wouldn't he? Catching that upper body of those marching girls.

Oh, you want to have a little look at those legs? Marching girls, famous for their legs. Yeah, I know, but that's, you know, he's an upper body boy. He's an upper body boy. That's what it's all about. I'll be on form. We're just talking about the cost of living payments that everybody's been getting.

Yeah, I need to contact my brother, who's lived in Australia for 13, 14 years maybe, to see if he got it. Oh yeah, my brother got it. That is great. I was talking to my mum last night. She's like, you'll be pleased to know your brother got the cost of living.

You'll be pleased to know. Because you can start calling him a beneficiary now. Yes. Which he'd love. Yeah, mum said it's a it's a mess. It's a mess. And I said well, yeah. And then she's like did you get it? I was like, no, I didn't get it.

And she's like, did Sade get it? I was like, well, let's scour the bank accounts and see. How much is it? I was like, no, I didn't get it. And she's like, did Sade get it? I was like, well, let's scour the bank accounts and see. How much is it? $350. All up, right? All up, but yeah, $116. Not with Sade's taste. You couldn't buy much of that.

Oh, what is that? A half an anine bing? Not as a quarter. It's a sleeve, maybe. It's a sleeve of an anine bing. We're on a hard anine bing ban. Have you banned an anine bing? I ban it hard Anine Bing ban. Have you banned Anine Bing? I ban it.

I ban it. I said she can buy it secondhand. I was just about to say, what about secondhand? No, because they'll do vintage that looks like secondhand, and she'll fool you. I won't be fooled. Oh, like a stonewash. Yeah, like a stonewash.

She'll be like, it's from Trade Me. I won't be fooled. Hmm. So is your brother going to give this back? Like, he should send that to you, and you can just pop it in Jacinda's bank account, maybe. I don't know what his... He and I, politically, very, very different.

Yeah. So he's almost like, nah, they bug it up, they're a mistake, I'm keeping it, sort of thing. Yeah. Which I'm sure many people will do. I was just trying to think, he hasn't lived in this country for...

He left in... No, longer. Oh, 18 years? He left in like 2005? Oh, right. Okay, so a long time ago. So 15, 16, 17 years. Yeah. And he's getting free money. Yeah.

Because he's got a bank account here. I don't know. Yeah, right. Yeah. There he's getting free money. Yeah. Because he's got a bank account here. I don't know. Just for fun. Yeah. There's money in it and then... It's a long and bloody complicated tale about buying people birthed their presents, I think. All right, coming up on the show, the top six are looking at EV charges. Well, as EVs are ever more popular...

Oh, yeah, they're skyrocketing. It lines and waits to buy these cars. Yeah, as EVs are ever more popular. Oh, yeah, the skyrocketing lines and weights to buy these cars. Yeah, huge queues. Well, there's also going to be a queue to charge them. Not enough public charging spaces. Which I always thought was going to happen. The old free charge when you're at New World or Westfield was always going to just be a gimmick while the people got on board. You're the early adopters. I've put more in our gym.

There used to be maybe like four or five, and now there's the whole bottom level is EV charging. Is it free? Yeah, it is. It's pretty good, isn't it? That's the other thing. I don't know how long business is going to be able to free charge for. Keep it going for free.

The more cars, EVs on the road, the more charging, the more they're paying for it, I guess. Well, you've got some solutions in the top six. Oh, I'm a solutions guy. Yeah, you are. I am a big solutions man. So, yeah, the top six places you could probably still rock a free charge on an EV. All right. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

So, there's a shop in London. It started as a pop-up and I believe it might be an established brick-and-mortar store now. Okay. It's called The Ice Cream Project, and it was started by a woman called Anya who wanted to do kind of out-of-the-box flavours. And recently, Vaughan, you were talking, eh, about the, was it the New Zealand Ice Cream Awards?

The Ice Cream Awards, yeah. And there was some strange flavours. Yeah, they had like kimchi and there was marmite and all kinds of weird flavours. So this is kind of that vibe. The one that became the most popular, the best seller, was Kikkoman.

You know the soy sauce you get in like... I recognize the label. It's every Japanese restaurant. Every Japanese restaurant. A glass bottle with a red lid. Yeah. And you pour it

and it's got a big hole on one side and a small hole on the other. Yeah, that's it. I hate it when you use the big hole for the sushi when you've done that. Yeah. The more soy, the better for me.

Really? You like to drown your sushi? I love to drench it. Okay. I like a little bit of sushi with my soy. Yeah. So it's a Kikkoman

soy sauce ice cream. And apparently, tis delicious. Because your first reaction is to be like, that's disgusting. Salty and sweet. But salty and sweet works for everything, doesn't it? Kind of like a caramel, like miso caramel is so popular at the moment. Making caramel out of miso paste.

Have you tried it? Oh my God, it's so amazing. What? What, do you just heat it slowly until it caramels? Well, no, because I'm... No, but you add it with sugar. Yeah, like brown sugar? Yeah.

You make a caramel. Miso caramel? Let me tell you. Oh, my God. I hadn't even heard of it. Because you do that on eggplant with cheese, and it's the most amazing thing. Oh, I bet.

Miso eggplant. That over, like, vanilla ice cream, a miso caramel. On the Kikuman website, prior to this ice cream, there is a recipe called ice cream with soy sauce. For this, you will need ice cream, one scoop, soy sauce, a small amount, directions, scoop ice cream into bowl, drizzle soy sauce. No. That's good they put a recipe because I'm struggling to follow that.

Yeah, that's it. It's quite a complicated. Cooking time, one minute. Right. See that? Look, just. Cooking time, one minute. Right. See that? Just drizzled soy sauce just dribbling on. I think I get it. I think I get it.

I was so against it when you first said it before, but now I feel like I could be coming around. Vanilla ice cream with delicious butterscotch sauce, and the butterscotch sauce is salted soy sauce butterscotch. Because it's just salting, isn't it? It's just salt. Yeah, it's salting sweet. Some of the other flavours she has, Worcestershire sauce.

Worcestershire sauce. Which is a soy of sorts. Like a Lee and Perrins, like a classic Worcestershire sauce. Does she do an HP? She does an HP sauce. A Heinz tomato. HP is such a sweet sauce anyway. Oh my God, it would be amazing. Heinz ketchup

flavour. Mayonnaise flavour. Mayonnaise ice cream? No, no, no, no. Salad cream flavour? You've lost me. Baked beans flavour. She's just being stupid now. All real like kind of British

staples. Yeah. Mayonnaise ice cream, I just Googled that. Myrecipes.com has a recipe for mayonnaise ice cream and it has one out of five stars. Oh yeah.

And it's only got one review so someone big no on that. Oh, Kellogg's Cocoa Pops ice cream. Yeah. Now we're talking. Golden syrup ice cream. We've all done

a Cocoa Pops ice cream, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I haven't. And Milo. Lots of Milo. Yeah, when you're a kid. Rock that in. Well, I haven't. And Milo. Lots of Milo. Yeah, when you're a kid. Rock that in. Well, I really want to try this.

If you are in the UK right now, please go try some. Tell us what's yummy. I mean, otherwise, just put some soy sauce on your ice cream. Or just mix through some ketchup. Easy. Done.

Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. As well as the world has opened up and people are starting to travel again. We're open. We're open. We were just open yesterday, weren't we? That was weird. It's like yesterday was the first day tourists were fully allowed back to New Zealand.

Vaccinated tourists. Vaccinated, yeah. Did you feel everyone kind of be like, I thought that was already happening? Yeah. I thought it was already happening. It was with a lot of countries. But people were coming if they had a tourist or a working visa. Or if you were from a country that we had partnered with to say,

yeah, you can come and welcome. Because I've noticed in the city a few more tourists around, even in the last month. How do you spot them? Like with backpacks yeah and they just look foreign backpacks

they're lost because it used to be the bum bag but now you know all the cool dudes were in bum bags aren't they yeah it was hard

fanny packs fanny packs yeah well um the list of top 50 cities has been named um sadly

we're not on any of this list. In the 50? In the 50. I've got the top 10. Wait, what are these? The 50 best cities to visit or to live in? No, not to live in. All kinds of things have been taken into account here.

Everything like walkability, entertainment, nightlife, transport. They haven't chosen boring cities? Yeah, like boring cities that are cheap. This is time out. This is time out has made this list. Number 10, Copenhagen, the Danish capital. Never been. I've been.

I don't know. Can you stop eating those lozenges? Oh, butter. Stop eating butterscotch lozenges. Butter, menthol. You're better than that. I've got a sore throat. You're better than this. I'm not. You know what we've got to get today? We're on our little trip. We've got to stop and get some Irish moss cough syrup.

Great volleyball team. I love Berlin. I'm very familiar with volleyball teams. Berlin. Great volleyball team. I love Berlin. I've never been. I feel like if somebody says I hate Berlin, I'm just like, what's wrong with you?

Do you say I hate you? Yeah, I hate you. I hate Berlin. What if it's like a 94-year-old who has traumatic memories of World War II and he says he hates Berlin? Are you allowing him? I'd let him have that, to be honest. Number seven on the list.

I have not been Mar Marrakesh. In the top 50 cities of the world. That's in Morocco. Morocco, yep. But yeah, apparently that's just an absolute cultural capital. Great volleyball team. Is it? I haven't seen them.

They've got a lot of sand, so they can play as big courts. Right, number six on the top 50 cities. And I've actually, remember, I had an accident, an incident here on the Lyme scooter. I shit myself because I had the Tommy Bug. Cobblestones. The cobblestones. It shook it right out of me.

She said on a scooter. Prague. Beautiful city. Prague is so beautiful. It's beautiful. I'm not worthy of you shitting yourself on a scooter. They don't have enough public toilets. That's all I'll say.

How did you get so sick in Prague? No, I had like some food from a market. And it gave me like... He's got weak constitution. I've got weak constitution. Camp Labanga or something. He is a little bitch. He is a little bitch.

Wait, Prague. Yeah. Great volleyball team. Great volleyball team. You reckon? Are you Googling Prague volleyball team? Prague volleyball team. I would say it would have a good volleyball team.

Absolutely. Number five on the list. Vaughan, you've been to this one. Yay, finally. We've been together. Yeah, I've been. Yes. Oh, yeah?

What did you get up to? Well, I smoked marijuana and ate a brownie and then saw a pile of sticks and thought it was a broken bike and cried. So there's that. And then had a panic attack in a hostel at 4am when the sun was up and I thought I'd slipped out of time.

Oh, my God. But it just turns out in summer, that's how early the sun comes up. Yeah, it goes down really late. But great volleyball team. Phenomenal. I think I made the volleyball team. World number one almost. Yeah.

Number four on the list of the top 50 cities, Glasgow. You've been. We've both been. I loved it been I loved it I loved it as well It used to have a Like back in the day Like 80s 90s

It was stabby wasn't it She was pretty stabby Yeah pretty stabby She was pretty stabby But beautiful I love the Glaswegians as well They're so Scottish So Scottish

Like really listen hard To what they have to say Scottish They've got beautiful old I think it was when we got there and I couldn't sleep just because of the time difference, not because of the pile of sticks and Amsterdam. That hadn't happened yet. I went for a walk around and walked around

and like saw gravestones that were marked like 1300. Yeah. And I was just like, this is crazy. Now, more importantly, the volleyball team? Phenomenal. Wow. The Scottish... Yeah, very pale, though.

They don't like the sun so much. Yeah, when they get the bikinis out, you're like, why'd they say beach volleyball? Oh, just volleyball. It's indoor volleyball. It's indoor. Okay, right there. Hardcourt.

Number three on the list of the top 50 cities in the world, and this is probably one of my favourite cities, Medellin in Colombia. Oh, yeah. Which, like Glasgow back in the 90s, if you've seen Narcos or not Pablo Escobar, was not the place to be. favorite cities medellin and colombia oh yeah which like glasgow back in the 90s was you if you've seen narcos or not pablo escobar uh was not the place to be it's one of the never been murder capitals of the world but your beautiful city was that taken into into account a completely

different place great public transport it does now well no no not not murders now no murders now i mean i did walk past uh um there did walk past a large pile of blood once where someone had been shot, but that's another story. Number two on the list of the top 50 cities in the world. Just quickly though, Mitty, and great volleyball team. Oh, great volleyball team.

Do they? Great everything team, I think. Yeah. Even the chess team. Very sexy chess team. Oh, yeah, I thought of the chess team. World's sexiest chess team. Chicago, number two on the list of the best cities.

Terrible volleyball team. Terrible? Terrible volleyball team. Oh, wow, really? Why? Oh, they lost. Oh, they lost. Okay, right.

Number one, the best city has been crowned Edinburgh. Taking into account everything. I haven't been. You love this place. I've been maybe five or six times. Love Edinburgh. It's got the big old castle, doesn't it? It's got the military tattoo every year, the fringe festival every year, the film festival every year, the castle. It's got the big old castle, doesn't it? It's got the military tattoo every year, the Fringe Festival every year,

the Film Festival every year, the castle. It's an amazing city. Right. I feel like everyone who goes to Edinburgh has a little thought where they're like, maybe I'll move here. Yeah, okay.

And then they remember that it's really cold and grey. But it's lovely. It is, yeah. Okay, well, now that we're open, great volleyball team? Great volleyball team. Edinburgh. Them and Glasgow really go at it on the volleyball.

Well, maybe that's the key. We could get our volleyball team kind of winning a bit more and get us into the top 50 list. I don't even know if I've got one to speak of. I think that's what's leading us down. That's what's leading us down on the list. Wow. Play ZM's Fletch Vornanalee.

Timely reminder, if you're a member of parliament listening to the show and thinking of dropping a red hot TikTok to go viral to ensure that come next elections, you're going to be elected by people who vote who also are on TikTok. And that Venn diagram has zero crossover. You're not allowed. New Zealand MPs aren't allowed to use TikTok on parliamentary service devices. So they will get given a phone. If you've got a personal phone, you can have a TikTok. But you can't have any parliamentary information on that phone. Well, it's a Chinese government spying device.

Yeah, basically. Yeah. Oh, I thought it was because it's really embarrassing. Yeah. There's definitely that too. I think this is just like the Speaker of the House's way of being like, yeah, oh yeah, nah, they'll get all your information. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cringer. Did you see what Nicola Willis did last week? Oh my God. Oh my God. Cringer. Australia is actually like straight out ban it. Ban it. Ban it.

Well, in America, haven't they? MPs even using it. Haven't they in America even talked about banning it for everyone? The app on a whole, yeah. Really? Remember when Trump brought it up and everyone was like oh, crazy old Donald Trump. Now more people have looked into it

they're like, there's a lot of information harvesting going on there. But then didn't Microsoft buy a part of it? Yeah. So that kind of quelled that for a little bit? Yeah, it did because then it had an American interest in it. Yeah, right. But they've still got a giant backdoor into everybody's data.

Absolutely. So Chinese-based employees from BitDance who own TikTok were repeatedly able to access non-public data of American TikTok users. But like what? What would you put specifically on TikTok? No, it's not on TikTok. No, no, no.

It's the back information on your phone. So when you download the app and you click OK to whatever you've just clicked OK to. I'm not reading that. You're not reading any of that. They've got access to everything. So your number and your money. Your contacts and your personal information

and your location. My pictures. Yeah, your information and your location. My pictures? Yeah, your... Maybe your pictures. Because I... Yeah. To have a look at them. Yeah.

And it's still... I know, yeah. Yeah. So... So they're saying all of that. I mean, if they want to, they'd have to specifically go out of their way to probably find you and look for your...

Thing. Yeah. Wow, okay. So who... They can still have an account, but they just need to get a personal phone. It's on their private phone, yeah. Or they can use their kid's one.

Use their kid's TikTok. Like you say, just don't do it, because it's embarrassing. I don't know that I've seen a successful politician's TikTok. You know, where you're like, that has made you more relatable to me. Are any of them doing such an appalling job that there's like that horror watch? You know,

he'll watch some things because they're so cringey. Karween was saying she enjoys, I don't know, like the businesses that come up on TikTok that are so bad at TikTok, it's entertaining. You like those ones. Yeah, it's cute, you know, it's entertaining. You like those ones. Yeah, it's cute, you know, it's wholesome.

They're trying their best. No, but you're laughing at them. And I don't think that's ever good for a company. You said you like a real estate one. What was funny about the real estate one? They just jump on any trend, even if it has nothing to do with the real estate agency. That should be a radio station.

Exactly. Yeah, follow a radio station. Exactly. Yeah, follow us on TikTok, please. Remember that company from years ago that was like, welcome to my store. Like, do, do, do, do. Yeah, yeah, the American. It's like a husband and wife team. And then all the office people get involved.

Yeah. Was it a furniture store? Yeah, something like that. Was it an American furniture store? They would be all over TikTok. Like old companies, like small town local stores making music videos for themselves. Yes. More of it, please.

Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Blah, blah, blah. This sounds like some, it kind of reads a little bit like, not the anti-EV, but criticising an aspect of EV that doesn't need to be criticised. Because it's about like free charging spaces.

So it's free. Everybody didn't think that was going to last, did they? No. And it's for like free charging spaces. So it's free. Everybody didn't think that was going to last, did they? No. And it's for free. Yeah. It's like getting a good park. If you're lucky enough to get a good park, you get a good park. If you're lucky enough to get a park that will also charge your electric vehicle for free.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a miracle. It feels like big petrol, you know? It feels like big petrol being like, well, you didn't need that with us. But I guess you're old, man. Move aside. Fuel's been so expensive for so long that it's actually making,

and it's a good thing, it's making people think about their next car and if it should be electric or like EV, a hybrid. Well, there's states or maybe cities in Australia that are going to ban petrol vehicles by 2032. Diesel's going to be outlawed in Britain by like 2030. That's not far away. That'll be here before you know it. I recently, thanks to the team

at driven.co.nz Yeah, right, part of the company. Part of the company, yeah, the motoring division of this company. New Zealand Meteor Entertainment. Yeah, NZME. Is that what it stands for? Yeah, I drove a...

Just learning that? Just learning that now? I drove one of those Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Oh, I went for a ride in it with Vaughn. It was amazing. That's too many words. Way too many words. Fev.

Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi Outlander Fev. Fev. Fev. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. So Fev. Yeah. I've got a Mazda 3. And so, how often did you have to charge? Where did you charge that when you were using it? We just had an extension cord

running out the laundry window. Sounds safe. And, yeah, you might remember how much it rained last week. Yeah. We had it kind of sheltered from the rain. And just kind of, when we got home, we'd just plug it in. Yeah. And didn't put any petrol in it all week. Wow.

And, yeah, Sade does a lot of ticky-toering around. Pottering. Nipping out for something. You know why? It's because Aneen Bing, they don't do send-outs. You've got to go to the store. They don't have Aneen Bing in Kiumiu either, so you've got to really. So she's got to travel.

But, yeah, like, it says 80kms, but if you drive like quite sensibly, you get a little bit more. Okay. You get a little bit more than 80 Ks. And then what, to charge it, you would be spending a dollar or two. Yeah,

I think so. That's pretty amazing. Yeah. Well, it's convinced us. We're looking. We're in the market now. Yeah,

right. Because we bought a diesel because we're like, diesels are cheaper. Well, they're not now. Yeah. And you know,

those new diesels don't pollute that much. Not like your old old smoky trucks. So I've got the top six places you can still get a free EV charge. Number six, just put the jumper cables on the power lines and then put the other end on the car. I don't think that's a good idea. Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom,

you know what I'm saying. Straight to the source. Yeah. Cut out the middleman. Cut out the middleman. I always wonder if you work for like the lines company or the power company, could you just like find out where the street mains are and then just rig up your own free power? Are you in Thailand over there?

That's a real Southeast Asia trick there. Yes. God, when you're in Southeast Asia, you look up at the power lines, you're like, how is this? That's naughty. It's going... Number five on the list of the top six places to still get a free EV charge. The food court at the mall has a few PowerPoints

if you know where to look. Just what? Run a power cable? Run an extension cable. Run an extension cord in there. You always look for the may if you want to do a little bit of work on the lappy. You're like, there it is.

Get your phone a little cheeky charge. Number four on the list of the top six places to still get a free EV charge. At the gym, just plug it into the spin class. Yeah. It'll work. That's how they power the gym. So just plug it into those bikes and away you go. That's how I've been at the gym when there's no spin class.

The lights just go out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They charge the batteries though. Yeah. That's why they're all about spin classes. Number three on the list of the top six places to still get a free EV charge, those big wind turbines you see on the hills around the country. Oh, yeah.

Do they have a plug at the bottom? They have a plug at the bottom. Oh. Well, you could put a multi-box. Just unplug the town. Yeah. Like there's one in Palmerston North. Just unplug Ashurst.

Yeah. And they'll be all right for a couple of hours. They'll be fine. And give yourself a little charge there. Yeah, nice. What about the people that are on life-saving devices? In Ashurst? Yeah.

Dare I say, they're not worth saving. Wow. Big call there. You know, two parts of my family settled at Ashurst. Right.

I don't want to go on about my family's horrific colonial past. White colonisation. I was going to say, they settled or they colonised. They just rocked it

and took what they wanted and cut it down and burnt it and made it farmland and it was just like ours now, but we did. Not proud of it. But there's a few. You sounded proud for a second there. There's a few McElroys in the old bloody graveyard there, I'll tell you what.

Number two on the list of the top six places to get a free EV charge, camping grounds. Oh, yeah. Especially this time of year, no one's going bloody tenting and they've got those little poles with the power on. Yes, chuck it in there. You do have to pay though for a powered site. You pay a little

bit more. Don't tell me they're flicking it on and off at the main office. Power's there the whole time. But just say you're visiting someone, get in there and plug a room for a little bit. And number one on the list of the top six places to get a free EV charge. You run a steel cable from the town clock tower down to the street

and then between two, lamplight. So when the lightning strikes on Saturday, November 12, 1955 at 10.04pm and produces 1.21 gigawatts of power, you get a full charge and get to travel back to 1985 where your brother and sister were no longer like invisible. That sounds incredible. And Biff Tannen. Yeah.

Wow. Works for your dad now and your were no longer like invisible. That sounds incredible. And Biff Tannen. Yeah. Wow. Works for your dad now and your dad's a successful author. That's number one on the list. That's today's top seven. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Silly little po

Do you like to chat during beauty appointments? Now, I had one yesterday. You had a laser. I did have a laser and I got my eyebrows done. Thanks. Can I have a look? Oh yeah. I You had a laser. I did have a laser and I got my eyebrows done. Thanks. Can I have a look? Oh, yeah. They just got a tidy.

They just look normal. It's not dramatic. Just a little tidy. I told you I like the monobrow. They were connecting in the middle. She really did focus on that area. Right. Did you get laser in the middle?

No. You should just get a zap of laser. You can't do it too close to your eyes. No, just put something over the eyes and just give it a zap. No, it's like welding, isn't it?

You're not supposed to look at it. That's why you've got to wear those speckies. Yeah. Goggles. Yeah, the blue blockers. But I chat a lot

if it's an appointment below the waist. What, to distract from the mess down there? Just to be like, look, I know, but I'm also a really charming,

nice gal. So please forgive me, look, I know, but I'm also a really charming, nice gal. So please forgive me. Yeah. You know, I chat maybe just to break the awkwardness of someone sort of messing about in your folds. Right. But if it's above, like, a facial treatment or something, no chat. Oh, like, when the dentist's bloody wiring away? No, don't you say that, because my dentist will be listening right now. They love ZM.

Huge fans. Lumino Mount Eden. No, I know. This is why you don't have a dentist. Vaughn. They could listen to the show and here you haven't been

in 12 years. This is why Vaughn has a, and you've still got a temporary crown by the way. No, I mean, I got a Lumino so lovely as well but sometimes they talk to you

but they've got everything in your mouth like the clamps and the cotton buds. I just talk. I just go, yeah. Sucky thing. You just go.

Like what? That's right. Like, I can't answer you. Look at my mouth. Yeah, beauty appointments, I'm not really a talker. The laser was always like. Yeah, so I'd be like that. But then when they take a break and put the ice pad on,

they might ask you a question and then you'd answer. Yeah. But I'm not huge on talking. You did the back end as well, didn't you? Yes. Do you chat while they're zapping your most intimate face? I found, and this maybe speaks more to me, about me, I found the closer to the anus they got with the hair removal laser,

it hurt less. The anus doesn't hurt at all. No. The anus doesn't hurt at all. No, the anus doesn't hurt at all. It's padded, isn't it? It's padded. It's the bony bits that hurt the most.

No, no, no. The cheek, I felt not as much. The back, I always felt the mid-back, the big expanse of the back. It's anywhere where

there's like bone hurts the most. Yeah, that was very hard to talk through that part but when they're on the cheeks or the crack or the hole itself. Chat, chat, chat.

Well, 66% of people say that they need silence. Okay. And 34% of people say, yeah, for sure, I chat the whole time. Okay. For me, it depends on the treatment. If you're getting a facial, you want to zone out. Hairdressers, though.

Chat, chat, chat, chat. I mean, says the guy who doesn't. Hairdressers, though. I mean, says the guy who doesn't go to hairdressers, but I go to barbers. They lightly chat. But, you know, Sade always comes back from the hairdresser with such a bloody list of things to discuss. Stories to tell. Real stories to tell. They love a goss.

They love a goss. They do love a goss. Some feedback. Kitty says, massage of any sort. Silence. Hair, I'm down a goss. Some feedback. Kitty says, massage of any sort. Silence. Hair, I'm down for a chat. But not during the hair massage part. Yeah, good, good.

You don't want chat during a massage. I don't feel you get chat during a massage. No, no, no, no. Massage is for relaxing. You've got to listen to that sweet royalty-free Balinese music that's playing. I do love that. I had one masseuse I went to for a while who was a chatter. Could you bring up

some Roti Free? I want Wind Beneath My Wings. The Bette Midler song but like the pan flute and wind chimes. While you're looking that up, some more feedback. Emma says,

I prefer mostly silence. It's when I do my best thinking. It is a time to sort of sometimes do some work or think about things. Angelica? Yeah, here we go, here we go. Exactly what I was after.

Maybe not. No, I'm not quite. No, it's a bit heavy on the keys. Yeah, that's too heavy. Can you put in like Thai massage music? Oh no, that's it. Yes. This is the waiting room.

Oh, oh. How's my pressure? How's the pressure? It's okay, it's okay. I will take it like, ow. How's my pressure? How's the pressure? It's okay. I will take it like a man. It's really good. You are a 40kg Balinese woman. I will tell you it is fine even though you are killing me.

You've got tears in your eyes. It's fine. Angelica says hairdresser and Botox. Yes. Anything else? No. Botox? You can't talk? They hairdresser and Botox. Yes. Anything else? No. Botox? Botox?

You can't talk? They'll freeze it that way. Yeah. You want to be keeping it still as possible? What if they go to do your eye, your crow's feet on the corner of your eye and stab your eyeball? Yeah. No. Jessica says, my beauty therapist and I always chat and laugh while she does my Brazilian waxing.

Ladies love to chat when they're down there. Yeah. And I honestly wish we could be best mates, but I'm assuming that would be a bit too weird for her. Oh, how do you ask your Brazilian waxer out as a friend? Wait. Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're up here. You need to be down here.

No, no, no, you're hitting the notes. You're everything I would like to be. You're sharp there. You're sharp there. Bring it down. Bring it down. M says, I prefer silence, but I'm so worried to offend someone that I always talk. They don't want to talk either.

They're exhausted. Oh, yeah. And then I'm more exhausted than when I came in. Don't do that. Tim, a male perspective. Having a haircut is my zen time. I don't want to chat about my day. I've literally just finished thinking about it.

Yeah. I mean, unless you've got hair. Yeah, nice for some, eh? Did you ever know that you're my hero? Okay. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Yesterday when I was leaving work, I saw a parking warden. Uh-oh.

Are they just doing their job? They're doing their job. Unless they're giving me a ticket, sons of bitches. Are they just doing their job? They're just doing their job. Unless it's you getting a ticket. Unless it's me getting a ticket, sons of bitches. But they're just doing their job.

And he was there with his sun hat on and his printer. Well, that's good. They've got printers on their belt. Yeah. Who else does a job and they've got a printer on their belt? A label maker. No, because they're not on their gun. Yeah, what other job do you have a printer on your belt?

Dude, that's sick, man. They're just doing their job. They're out there. They've got a cool little accessory. They're just doing their job unless they're giving me a ticket, sons of bitches. But other than that, they're just out there doing their job with a cool belt-based printer. That's cool, man. Do you reckon you could print off your sort of schoolwork or your itinerary for an upcoming trip on that printer?

Unless you want your travel itinerary on a parking infringement. Oh, real skinny. Two inch wide would be a skinny. Waterproof. Yeah. But the heat will kill it. Yeah. If you leave it in your car too long.

Yeah, that's true. Like a lotto ticket. Yeah. Well, this parking warden was next to a little red car. And producer, you might have seen in the group chat, I said, Jared, you're getting a ticket. Producer Jared, the vits was getting a ticket. I panicked.

Look, man, they're just out there doing their job. My car's on the bitches, but they're just out there doing their job. Yeah, but it was Jared's car, so... It's his fault. He shouldn't have parked there. He should have paid for it. But wait, isn't it your fault when you park there and don't pay? No, no, it's these sons of bitches that we're...

These parking wardens were there. Well, they're cool pruners, man. They're just out there doing their job. They're giving me tickets, sons of bitches. So I messaged your group chat and this... Someone hit the reset button on board. He's malfunctioning. The parking warden's taking a photo of Gerard's car and so I put in the group chat,

Gerard, you're getting a ticket and I scoot off. I've got to get to the doctor. Hang on. So you didn't do anything to prevent this ticket? What are you supposed- I hate this. What are you supposed to do? What are you supposed to do?

No, you go up to the car and you pretend like you're just looking for your keys and be like, oh, sorry, I'm just moving. But I don't care. The minute they start issuing that ticket, these sons of bitches, they're on a warpath. They're just doing their job

with a cool belt-based printer. That's cool. That's my ticket. So it was underway. I'm assuming that once they've started the process, they can't stop. It's like when the tow truck's there. Oh my God, and you're like,

please take it off, take it off. They're like, we can't stop. It's like when the tow truck's there. Oh my God, and you're like, please take it off, take it off. They're like, we can't. Yeah, the minute that thing goes under your car, there's another bunch of dudes just doing their jobs

unless it's towing my car, sons of bitches. But if the tow truck is there and they haven't left yet, you take off all your clothes and you get in your car and lock the doors. Oh my God.

No, you lie on it naked. You lie on it naked. Because they can't move. The car can't move. Yeah, with you, it's a health and safety hazard.. Oh my God. No, you lie on it naked. You lie on it naked. Because they can't move. The car can't move. Yeah, with you, it's a health and safety hazard. These sons of bitches. These sons of bitches.

No, you're just trying to do their job. No, they can't move. They're just doing their job. They're just doing their job. Unless they don't like it. They can't afford a naked person to fall off the car. Why are you naked? Well, because you've got less.

Why do you have to be naked? You've got less clothing covering you can get more gravel rash when you fall off going down the motorway. And it's on them. And then the police are like, why have you run over a naked person?

What is going on? So they uncouple the car, the sons of bitches. Yeah. And then you get off your towing ticket. It works every time, trust me.

They're just out there trying to earn a crust, you know, they're just out there doing the job and it's that time I call these sons of bitches and it's just, you've got to question it. me. They're just out there trying to earn a crust. They're just out there doing the job. Let's not tell my car these sons of bitches. And it's just, you've got to question it.

You're both mad. I can't believe your first response to seeing your car get towed is to just quit and get on the bonnet. Yeah, and then get on the bonnet. It works every time. And then Jared points out it's not his car. Yeah, no, my car's parked in a car park. Wait, so you're naked at this point on top of the car.

You're straddling a vitz. I'm not naked on the vitz. And this guy that's parking on it is just like, I'm just trying to do my job. But then Jared gets angry at me because he said, if it was my car, you just left. Fair enough. It's not on me.

You should have paid for parking. But it wasn't even your car. It wasn't my car. And, like, if I saw what I thought was my friend, I saw their car getting ticketed, I would have run interference while texting them.

Me too. I would just say, this guy's just doing his job with his belt-based printer and you should have paid for your parking. He did. That wasn't his car. You don't scold the man. It wasn't his car. You don't scold the man. It wasn't his car. Why are you naked?

And why are you telling Jared off? But why was he upset though that I left? It wasn't even his car. I thought we were closer than that. It's the principle. It's the principle of it. It's the principle. Well, just remember,

they are just there doing their job. They're doing their job with a cool belt-based printer until they took my car. Them sons of bitches. We're just going to talk about this. Just for a minute here. Vaughn and I. Sidebar.

Sidebar, listeners. We're just talking about concrete here. You know, speaking of which, you can go watch this video. We were just talking about Concrete here Gotta You know Speaking of which You can go watch this video We were just talking about How we were driving Concrete trucks

And you've actually Got one in your house now Today's Finally The concrete has been Poured from my new shed Better late than never Yeah

Late is definitely The word for it So I know I was just saying About concrete trucks And Fletch is like Well what are you gonna do

Out front of the garage out front of the garage now the out front of the garage at the moment is cobbles yeah they've got to go yuck they've got to go in winter they slosh around

in summer they're dusty and the weeds corrupt through the middle they've got to go so I said well see you don't want anti-vaxxers camping out in front of your new shed

and they use these cobble stones turning on me and throwing them at the police dangerous weapons and then they're my cobbles and I'm of course associated with the blame

of the whole situation I don't want that. And I'm sort of in a similar thing. We're going to concrete our driveway because ours is gravel. Yeah. And you've got to drag things across it. It's awful. So I said I'm just going to get concrete.

And Fletcher's like, what kind of concrete are you going to get? I'm just like, just plain concrete to match the driveway part before it goes to concrete. I was just like, why don't you get a nice concrete? He's trying to tell me over here to get a stamped concrete.

Yeah, and he said like little pebbles. Little pebbles. Get the nice concrete. What's nice concrete? You know when you drive past a subdivision that was built between 1997 and 2002 and you know it was built between 1997 and 2002 because everybody had a stamped concrete that was like coloured. I know. Colours the same as their aluminium joinery,

which for some reason was never plain. It was always blue or green. Green. Or red. Red. What are you thinking with your aluminium joinery? Go for a simple aluminium joinery, and they had the stamped concrete to go with it.

That's what you're describing. I'm not saying stamped. That's disgusting. He said pebbles. I'm saying a nice texture. Pebbles. A posh concrete. The whole point of getting concrete is that it's like a flat surface.

So what are you, you're, is it called an acid wash where they wash the top bit of the concrete off so the pebbles poke through? Well, I don't know about that. You've got to go for a nice, a posh concrete is what I'm saying. Thank God the man has an apartment because if he was let loose on a plot of land. God damn if he was doing concrete. Right. Okay, we'll be giving the move along. And I agree.

But we just couldn't leave this. We're going to let that go. We're going to do posh concrete. I'm just saying get posh concrete. You find me a picture of posh concrete and I'll tell you why it's called Portuguese. I'll just go plain concrete. It doesn't age. It's just a bloody driveway for crying out loud.

You turn your car around on it. Oh yeah, that's a nice sense of concrete. Oh, okay, show me. I found some pictures. We'll talk about this afterwards. I'm not doing this. Sweeties, sweeties, it's 7.39. That's what Anna just sent to the group chat.

Can we move on? We're moving along from this abomination to something quite beautiful. When they do nice, posh concrete on the block, everyone's like, ooh. No, people love a flat concrete driveway. When you sell a house, you say, concrete a driveway, and people go, thank God. Thank God it's not stamped red concrete. Thank God it's not little posh pebbles. Thank God they haven't matched the concrete print to the colour of their aluminium joinery,

which for some reason they've just decided to go green on. Anna, you have to acknowledge that number of times I've tried to move along. I have tried. I've segued. I did a beautiful segue. We're still talking about concrete. We can't help it. We're just common folks talking about concrete.

Speaking of hard, rock solid things, one woman... I'll let that Speaking of Hard surfaces Rock solid Yes Things One woman I'll let that go There was a woman And she got divorced Never a nice thing to do But she was grateful

It was really fun. Yeah. And they make you drinks and stuff. Well, there was a little bit of a connection between the recent divorcee and this shirtless waiter. Did you say divorcee or divorcee? Divorcee. Divorcee. I will say there's a photo of him at the party.

Mm-hmm. And she's got a big divorced sash on like you would a hen's night. And he's there in his bow tie, his Calvin Klein's pulled up in his jeans, shirtless, rock hard abs, but he's got a durry in his hands. You're working. You're working. It's a professional environment. Anyway, so she invited him to this party.

And then they just hit it off. They absolutely had the best time. They were talking. He was, you know, entertaining them. And then they just hit it off. They absolutely had the best time. They were talking. He was, you know, entertaining them. And they absolutely fell in love. They are now married happily. He'll be married for a few years now.

And she said it wasn't just like into his looks. Like once we started talking, I just knew that he was the one. I mean, certainly that he's standing there in his Calvin Klein's with a durry, topless, wouldn't have. Hold me back. Yeah... Hold me back. Yeah. Hold me back. But I reckon she said, what's your thoughts on concrete? Like, do you go coloured print or do you just go for a plain timeless?

He probably said posh. I reckon he went plain timeless and she's like, you're the man for me because my last husband wanted a green concrete print. A stamped concrete. Oh, my God, guys, they've had a baby. They've had a baby. They've had a baby. Right, but it's gone viral because I guess they met in a bizarre way. In such an unconventional way.

And that's what we wanted to put out to you guys listening. What is the unconventional way that you met your partner? The unusual place where you fell in love. Well, we'd be taking calls from people with a posh driveway as well as a subreddit? No, they can... Subreddit. Subreddit. Slash r slash posh concrete.

Yeah. So have you met your partner in an unusual way? Forward slash do you have a posh driveway? Do you have a posh driveway? With posh pebbly concrete. I'm just going to put it out.

Posh ones or just plain ones posh driveways. No, we want to hear about love, where you met people. I love driveways. Do you think... Posh ones or just plain ones? Just plain ones.

Yeah, me too. Do you think, like, I mean, most people would meet at work, right? At work, at a party, at uni. Yeah. But we want to hear from, like, the weird places you met. What about on a plane and you just happened to sit next to them? Wasn't there someone who met the Tinkerbell at Disneyland or something like that?

And then they were like, I love Tinkerbell so much and then kept going back. And then Tinkerbell was like, I love you so much. What? I thought she'd say, you're a pest. Surely Tinkerbell would be like, security. Yeah. No, and they got married.

See, they have posh concrete at Disneyland. Oh, they know their driveways. They do. They've got the kind of like red pebble. That's a novelty. It's a place for children. It's a child's place. 0800 dials at Amazon number. You can text at 9696.

A woman held a divorce party, met her stripper, is now her husband. Well, topless waiter.

Topless waiter. His junk was away the whole day. Right. Just the top was out. I mean, she could kind of see it. He was wearing his Calvins. Didn't matter either. They got together and she got to see the whole thing.

And then subtopic, concrete. Subtopic is concrete. Does concrete tie into your love story? And what kind of concrete, if you were to lay a driveway, what would you do? Probably not a coloured or stamped. We're talking posh driveways as well. If you're just tuning in now and you've missed the start of this,

it's too much to explain. Just go with it. This whole hour has been... Just go with it. I don't know, man. Catch up on the podcast because there has been some excellent concrete driveway chat. You can find it on the iHeartRadio app. Here's one that kind of covers both too.

I have a gravel driveway and no partner and I don't think it's a coincidence. Get that driveway concreted. Well, the honey's all... Producer Jared's new driveway, he's got that, you know that, those concrete bricks that are diamonds and the grass grows in the middle. Yeah.

Yeah! I'm sorry. They were amazing. That's not his house. It's a rental. But if you walked on that. He can't go and re-concreate it. He's not spending thousands of dollars re-concreting a rental's driveway.

I mean, I would. I'd be absolutely furious every time I looked at it. It should be part of the renter's thing, you know, like the happy, healthy homes. Yeah, yeah. Insulation, heat pump, extractor fan in the bathroom and a driveway that's not going to make you sick every time you drive up it. Jess, did you meet your partner somewhere unusual? I was involved with a car club and he was involved with the dealership that sponsored the event. We had to do a little race with a

classic car versus a modern car down to Little Slalom and I ended up doing the start flag and he was driving the car. You were the sexy flagger who went, go! What? Go! Go Vin Diesel! Go pole walker! No, I'm thinking

of, what's her name from Greece? You know, the one who's like definitely 40 but pretending she's 16. And so it was all happily ever after from that moment. Yeah, we have been married seven years. I moved

into the house about ten years ago and then we bought a flash driveway. Oh, now let's talk your driveway. We've got a driveway. Is it a posh concrete? Is it posh concrete? It is. It is.

It's one of those ones with the brushed texture finish and the squares cut into it. No, no, no. You stamped the concrete. You stamped the concrete. It's not stamping. It's brushing for the texture. No, no, no.

She's brushing the texture. I'm off. I'm out. It sounds posh. We're going plain. It's still fancy. Yeah, it sounds fancy. I'd love to see it, by the yeah. I'm off, I'm out. It sounds posh. We're going playing. It's still fancy. Yeah, it sounds fancy. I'd like to see it, by the way.

I reckon we're going to be able to date your house build exactly by your kind of concrete you put on your driveway. You and Fletch deserve each other. Jess, thank you for your call. Hang up on Jess, hang up on Jess. No worries. Jessie, how did you meet your partner? Was it an unusual way?

Yes, I met him, oh, also, by the way, a long-time listener, first time caller. Woo! Woo, ding it, dang it. Now, what's your driveway like? Quick, quick chat about concrete. I was pretty interested to hear about this chat, to be honest. Yes, thank you. She's right in the station's target demographic there too, intern Anna.

Stop it. Now, are we talking, what what are you, your gravel, are you a grass, are you a concrete? Well, the place that I had just recently sold was a mixture of that awful red. Yes. Yeah, no, I'm not about that. I'm not about that, yeah.

No, it was horrible. So when we sold that, I was so happy to part with it. And the place that we just recently bought has got, it's a short driveway, but I'd say it's that lovely posh concrete. Oh, posh. Posh concrete. Now, just quickly, where did you meet your partner? So I met him on a super yacht in a cabin.

I had to share a cabin with each other. Oh, that's posh. And now, look at you, posh driveway. You've got a posh driveway. That's the sign of a porno. Jessie, thank you. More concrete chat. Just concrete chats flowing.

Someone said, my husband and I met at a Domino's car park. Yes. Which was asphalt. Which is a driveway option now. Lot more work involved than laying asphalt in a driveway. This is the most confusing.

30 minutes of radio. I'm a 31 year old female in Christchurch who met her husband 10 years ago at my sister's house. Neither of us was supposed to be there. Absolutely fate. And today we are laying our second concrete driveway. Oh, wow.

I wonder if it's going to be a posh concrete. I'd love to know actually that message ends in 947. We could go round. We could go round because we land, don't we, at midday. Tell her we're coming over. Get her a dress. Get her a dress. Just do a drive-by.

I don't want to stop. If it's early in the pouring, you've made a terrible decision. We could probably... Or we could brush it for them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. What are you brushing the driveway for? Keep your brush away from their driveway. Leave it plain.

My husband and I are splitting up and our driveway is in a disarray. Potholes everywhere. Now, I don't want to say that someone's driveway is representative of their relationship, but you need no further proof than the marriage that's falling to bits got potholes. The person who's single has a gravel driveway

that's a little bit of a shambles. Stop saying that. I've got a gravel driveway. No, but yours is a lovely gravel driveway. And we're concreting it. But I also you said your driveway's like noisy to back down, but when I've driven into your driveway, it's that lovely crunchy gravel of a French country home. Oh la la. It is.

It's nice. Oh la la. You know you're driving on a good grade. Also, a lot of single people have gravel driveways messaging in. Yeah. It's not a good sign. Yeah. I need to either get married or lay the concrete. Yeah.

Yeah. And I will not be brushing it. Somebody's messaged it. I just want to say I work in concrete, and I just haven't heard concrete discussed on any commercial radio station to this degree. And I'm just so here for it. I'm pleased that you are reaching this area of the audience. It's time.

Yep. What's tomorrow? Ponds. Ponds. If you've got a pond in your garden, it's 2022. It better be either big. It's got to be a big pond and a natural pond. It's 2022. It better be either big. It's got to be a big pond and a natural pond. Natural.

Natural. Don't bury a trough and call it a pond. Yesterday, and you spotted me walking along the road, Hayley, before this happened. But you didn't toot. I didn't. Weird. Why not? Then you come to work and you say, I saw you yesterday. I didn't. Weird.

Then you come to work and you say, I saw you yesterday. It was in a moment. I was turning off. I was coming from the other end. And then I was turning off to head down towards the gym. Right. And you were on the right. And I was sort of like, huh.

But you didn't toot. We're not friends outside of this. Someone I don't know drives past my house and toots. And I don't know're not friends Someone I don't know Drives past my house And toots And I don't know Who they are I don't know who they are

But you're assuming That's for you I don't know who That's for you Before It could be the neighbours Because the car's moving When they toot

And then it gets to you They're still tooting No no no It's definitely In front of our paddock It's very presumptuous Hugely presumptuous To think they're tooting for you

But so I was Going to the doctor yesterday when you saw me, and then I was like five minutes early, and I had a coffee, and it was quite sunny. And then just as I was about to walk into the doctor's, I saw on the bonnet of a car a ginger puss. Oh, cute. I love a ginger one.

A ginger puss. We've got two ginger pusses. They are particularly cute. Yeah, and it was like on the bonnet, it was in the sun, and I was like, I'm going to go pat that cat. You've got to pat a cat. You've got was in the sun, and I was like, I'm going to go pat that cat. You've got to pat a cat. You've got to pat a cat. Ask him for it.

I'm going to go pat that cat. And so I went up and I was like, hey, what's up? And it didn't really move. It wasn't scared. And then I like patted it, patted it, and it just was not fussed at all. Just didn't like it? It just wasn't into it? It let me pat him, but was like just not fussed.

Like didn't make a big, yeah, like a big thank you. This is a Ponsonby cat. This is a hobnob cat. We might get lots of pats. Yeah, lots of pats. And a bit of an attitude about it. People were giving me stick after this, saying you don't pat random pets like dogs or cats.

Oh my God. Is this a thing? There's this one in Queenstown. You know, in the centre of Queenstown, the stream runs through it and there's a pub there. Do everything by where the fudge shop is. I know it's by the cookie time shop. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now we're talking. The cookie time shop there and that little stream, that bridge and there's a pub there. There was a cat there once and my daughter loves animals. She tried to pat it and I went, meow! And like scratched her and I made a lot of jokes about how she now had rabies. She didn't but we called it rabies cat. Now that cat looked like it wanted to pat but on

approach, that cat wanted nothing to do with humans. I don't know why it was lingering there. But is there an etiquette like with dogs? I always pet cats. Yeah, see I always do as well. I fell in love with a cat, a neighbourhood cat. In the first lockdown, 2020, when everyone was walking,

you just go walking, and we fell in love with a cat. This is the cat. I've got a photo. I think about him every day. His name is Van. That's quite a cool cat. Dude, he's like rough. He was like puby, like rough. He had this really interesting fur, and he started following us around these walks, and he had a collar, and it said Van. And I was like, I love Van was like, puby? Like, rough? He had this really interesting fur. And he started following us around these walks. And he had a collar and it said Van.

And I was like, I love Van. And every now and then, this is nearly three years later, I always just say to Aaron, I wonder how Van is. And then do you go and walk and find him? No, because he's in like two suburbs ago where we used to live. But you've got a photo on your phone. How quick did that take to pull up? Meow, Van.

Oh, that's pretty cute, Kat. I favourited it because I love Van. Blue eyes. Lovely blue eyes. Well, I thought about stealing him. Right. Because I just had a spiritual connection with this cat. And it was all because I went up and patted this cat.

And I was like, he's puby. I think it should be worthy of a silly little poll about. Like, because some people don't like it when you pat their dogs. Dogs are different. Dogs are different. Like, I'm all for't like it when you pat their dogs. Dogs are different. Dogs are different. Like, I'm all for, you've got to ask. Like, we've taught our kids to say, is it okay if I pat your dog? And some people are like, it's a bit of a funny dog for your safety.

Don't bother. Yeah. Which is great. Great way to answer it. But dogs are different to cats. Cats will just sort themselves out. If they don't want to pat, I'm out of here. Yeah, they'll walk away. I'll just sort themselves out. If they don't want to pet, I'm out of here. Yeah, they'll walk away.

I'll give you a quick. So dogs are just like. Rather than doing a silly little poll on this, can we instead put up a picture of Van and use our wider network to see if we can find the owner and I'll make them a hot offer? Because I think I genuinely probably once a month say to Aaron, I hope Van's all right. Why don't you just ask if you can go the owner and I'll make them a hot offer. Because I think I genuinely, probably once a month, say to Aaron,

I hope Van's all right. Why don't you just ask if you can go around and play with the cat? I mean, you must know kind of roughly where it lives. Just go for a drive-by and pet it. If you've got a pubic cat

with blue eyes, grey hair, and in Mount Albert. Lock it up because Hayley wants to steal your cat. I'm coming for Van. We ask people on our Instagram account, do you pet random cats? Oh yeah. 61% of people will to steal your cat. I'm coming for Van. We asked people on our Instagram account, do you pat random cats? Oh, yeah.

61% of people will pat a random cat. Oh, we did do a poll. Fantastic. Yeah, 39% said no, they won't pat a random cat. Yeah, because cats can... But if it's there and it's kind of like... up against a fence, you'd be crazy not to be like,

hello, cat. And you talk to the cat like it's going to talk back to you. Yeah, yeah. Like you're in a video game and the cat's about to give you an amazing side quest. You're like, hello, cat. And you talk to the cat like it's going to talk back to you. Yeah, yeah. Like you're in a video game and the cat's about to give you an amazing side quest. You're like, hello, cat. And the cat's like, I'm glad you've talked to me. Again, if we've already done the poll, I think we should just try to find Van.

Van. Van's owner. Drop it. You're going to get a restraining order. Can you get a restraining order if there's a cat? Well, someone should just know that I've got their cat as my desktop background. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I read a study recently that said one in four people just drop a brand after trying it once.

There's no loyalty to a brand. Well, they don't give it the time of day. They don't let, you know, people, especially things like skincare or beauty stuff. They're like, it takes like six months to a year really to see the impacts of something like that. And then I realised I had just recently done this and I'd palmed it off onto producer Anna. I tried a moisturiser that is like, everyone uses this moisturiser. It is the best. And I was like, well, I've got to get on board.

You can't say that and not say the brand. Why did you, why did you, just like that, why did you dump it? I got pimples. That's not what you want from your moisturiser. No, but that's not your the brand. Why did you, why did you, just like that, why did you dump it? Again, I got pimples. That's not what you want from your moisturiser. No, but that's not your moisturiser's fault. That's your diet's fault.

Now look, me trying this moisturiser did align with me being in Bali and sweating and eating terribly and drinking lots. But I was like,

there you go. What's the easy thing to change? My lifestyle or this stupid moisturiser? It's the moisturiser's fault. It's the moisturiser to change? My lifestyle or this stupid moisturizer? It's the moisturizer's fault. It's the moisturizer's fault. So I'm already trying a new moisturizer and I've got to say, eh. Why don't you go back and give it a...

No, I can't. You've given it away. I had lots of like immediate pimples. Right. And I gave it away to Anna. Have you had pimples yet trying this moisturizer? And I do want to note that it was really expensive and I was very generous to give it to you.

You were very generous. No, I'm trying to use up the last of my dregs before I then go on this potential pimple journey. Yes. Yeah. Because then you'll know. Why is everybody raving about this? You're worried about pimples because Hayley got them.

But I also share the same diet and stress lifestyle that Hayley does. So I don't have... We don't go to sleep. We eat funny. Gotcha. Yeah. But I was... I'm real quick.

If I'm not impressed by a brand, immediately I'm out. My problem is I make such a statement about a brand loyalty that even if it doesn't go right for me, I've got to stick by it. Like, my power tool of choice is DeWalt. Yep. I'm Milwaukee. No, I'm Milwaukee. You're Milwaukee. Yeah, I've got to stick by it. Like, my power tool of choice is DeWalt. Yep. Now, I know the tradies. No, I'm Milwaukee.

You're Milwaukee. Yeah, I've got the whole everything. It's Makita's. It's the Makita crew that really let you know about it when you go to DeWalt. Yeah, right. Do you know what Hayley's Black and Decker? No, no.

We're Ryobi. Oh! Are you? Oh, no. No. Ryobi's not the old samurai slice on the TV ad that it used to be. I think they've gone a little low end now, don't they? Oh, are you? Oh, no. Ryobi's not the old samurai slice on the TV ad that it used to be. I think they've gone a little low end now, don't they? Well, to be fair, like when we first started renovating,

we were doing small renovations. And it's just one of those ones you just jam all the packs on. Yeah, the batteries. Yeah, yeah. Same with Milwaukee. But that's why I went with DeWalt. Because once you buy the batteries, they're the expensive parts. So then you're hooked into the thing.

But then, of course, it became every time I got out the DeWalt, some Makita joker would have a go. And I'd say, oh, you're a big blue, eh? You're going to stick with your yellow. That sort of trash talk. It's good tradie banter. Yeah, but I burnt out my DeWalt impact driver at the weekend. It caught fire in your hand.

It caught fire. Yeah. I wish I had. Because when it started smoking, I thought it was funny. And so I revved it. And then it blew flames out the side, which looked real cool. I wish I had it on video. but then it doesn't work anymore. That's actually the DeWalt handheld flamethrower you've got there.

Yeah, except the flames come out the side by your hand, which is, I think, a product. And not outwards towards the criminal you're trying to burn. It's a design issue that I've got to work with. But then I knew when I went straight back to it, because I've got the batteries and I've made this big... Wait, you bought the same brand? Yeah, yeah, the Core Fire, a slightly gruntier version

of the same brand or the same tool. Did you get a refund or a? I was in a hurry. There was no receipt. I'm going to be, oh, I will be contacting DeWalt. I might have been outside of my warranty. But I don't feel like I'm not a tradie. I'm not using it every day.

I don't think it should flame. Yeah, it shouldn't flame in your hand. Definitely shouldn't. But you've got to try new brands. You've got to do it until you find the one that you like. You've nailed it. Like recently, you noticed that I was a Carmex

lip balm user. And have been since I was a teenager. And perpetually dry lips. And then you use, honestly, a shockingly expensive lip balm. But it's because I got to try a sample of it and it's the only one that works.

It's not like the ballistic. That's how drug dealers get kids addicted to drugs too. They give them a free sample. He has given me a free sample. And it's working, isn't it? It's the best lip balm in the world. Look at these kisses. Luscious.

Luscious. Luscious. Moist. Wet. Don't be afraid to drop a brand. They'll drop you. I've got no loyalty. I mean, unless it's this brand. Don't drop this brand.

Oh, we've done nothing wrong. We've done nothing wrong. We're tried and true. Yeah. What have we done wrong? I like to imagine we've lost a couple of... I was going to say Cadbury's, but we haven't been... Well, that's what somebody messaged in saying,

Cadbury's like that X you keep going back to. First palm oil, then they reduced the block size, and then they closed their New Zealand factory. Nah, see, I'm Whittaker's. Go Whittaker's. Then they brought back caramel cone and just ship it to Australia and have them make it differently. I can finally say I've broken up with them and I'm Whittaker's baby. You'll be back once

you see two blocks for like six bucks. Yes, you will. You will be. I'm crawling back. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Right now, it's time for... Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Now just before on the show Fletch did mention this lip balm he uses

That's worked and Hayley's now addicted to it We will tell you the brand of lip balm At ten minutes to nine Ten minutes to nine You are such A teasy bee. But remember, I did say, I did preface it by saying it's exorbitantly expensive. Oh, yeah, it's stupid.

For a lip balm. Consider the foreplay begins now. Tickle, tickle, tickle. What? Sorry, I just immediately slipped into foreplay mode. I have been revealed. You are a... Now, I must ask, for those listening, were you getting tickled or doing tickles?

I just think we just put them in the park. Fact of the day. Is it both? Fact of the day time. Most tangential show ever. Oh, goodness me. Fact of the day. Is it both? Fact of the day. Most tangential show ever. Goodness me. Well, this kind of involves foreplay as well.

Today's fact of the day. Lizard foreplay. Yep. Lizards. Lizards. Yep. Okay. Zoology observations have seen that certain animals emulate a push-up action. For example, and probably most notably,

a variety of fence lizard that involves the male engaging in postures to attract females. The western fence lizard is a species that does push-ups. I thought the fence lizard was those sort of wire, you know, things that you'd find on the back of your mum's fence. Yeah. Mum's been to Mitre 10 and gone into the garden section the back of your mum's fence. Yeah. Mum's been... Those sculptures. Mum's popped a Mitre 10 and gone into the garden section and come out with a lizard sculpture.

A sculpture. Copper. Old copper. It's beautiful. It aged lovely. We saw one when we were in Spain on one of the Casa de Milos and we just had to have one when we got home. Yeah, no, it's not a lizard that's a fence decoration.

It's a fence lizard. It does push-ups to attract females. Because have you seen someone do a push-up at the gym and you think, ooh, yeah. Hell yeah. Push-ups are hot. They are a hot exercise. Well, you've got to have the strength, don't you? Squats. Okay, top five hottest exercises. Oh. Squats.

Hip thrusts. Curls. That was a little bit full on there. It was quite fast. I would like to put foot hip thrusts. You love. I was a little bit full on there. It was quite fast. I would like to put foot... Hip thrusts? You love a bloody... You love anything... You love squats. Tickle, tickle.

Ring the bell. Ring the bell. I'm tickling. Back to the day. Moving on. Tickle, tickle. Tickle, tickle. You love a deadlift.

A deadlift? What one's that one? No, not... Oh, yeah, right. Oh, so the weights are on the ground and they're bent at a 90 degree and then they stand up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Call me old-fashioned and 80s, but I do love a star jump.

God, not in the women's gym, I tell you what. There's a lot. There's a lot going on. Star jumps, if you haven't done one of those for a few years and you're older now, give that a blast. The arms don't go up much. When you're a kid, you'd do star jumps, and your hands would, like, smash together.

And now when you do a star jump, it gets to about here, and your shoulders are like, not today. So today's fact of the day is the western fence lizard does push-ups to attract a mate of the opposite sex. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Well, it's time for the Fleets of Horn and Hayley impossible phone-in topic. Yes. Something we think is so impossible, people will not call.

And this came about because I read this incredible article about a US woman called Ashley Ness who gave birth to two sets of twins at the same time. So they're not quadruplets. They're not quadruplets. It happens when it's a one in 10 million chance that this would happen. It's when two eggs are fertilized simultaneously

by two different sperm and then the eggs split. So it's like this egg, that sperm, and then the egg splits, twins, and then a separate egg is fertilised at the same time. Splits. Splits, twins. Whereas if it's quadruplets, it's like... Four eggs.

Four, okay, right. Like that. Wow. And that's one in 10 million, the chances. One in 10 million, the chances of this happening. Okay, so that's what we want to... Our impossible phone-in topic today isn't have you had two sets of twins at the same time.

No, no, no, no, because that would be one in ten million chance of a caller. But it is along the lines of what is your one in ten million? Yeah, what's the super rare thing that has happened to you, your body, your life or something like that, that the odds of it happening are slim to none. Have we talked to someone hit by lightning? We've talked to multiple people hit by lightning. Yes, I feel like we have. And that is a one in a million chance? No.

No, getting struck by lightning. Probability climbs significantly when we look at the odds of being struck by lightning in your lifetime. One in 15,300. Averaging lifetime to be 80 years. The odds of you being affected... Now I'm terrified. By someone you know being struck by lightning.

That's very low. That's very low. You'd think it'd be in the millions, the chances of being hit by lightning. Oh my gosh. For an everyday person, your odds of winning an Olympic gold medal is one in 662,000.

I mean, that's pretty hard. We've got lots of stats here. Having twins... So First Division New Zealand, That's pretty harsh. We've got lots of stats here, having twins. So First Division New Zealand, the lotto odds are 1 in 3,803,000. No, that's just red. Not Powerball, because then that adds more, right? Is that right? That's just the first four.

1 in nearly 400,000 of winning First Division. That seems low, eh? Yeah, because... It's on the Safe Gambling website. You'd think that they'd have a good figure. That's First Division, did you say? So the odds of any six-number line winning First Division

is one in 3.8 million. There you go. That's better. That's more like it. Oh, God, Safe Gambling needs to up that. Yeah. By about 20 times. Yeah. There you go. So's more like it. Oh, God. Safe Gambler needs to up that. Yeah. By about 20 times. Yeah.

There you go. So what else? You've got some other odds. Your odds of, oh, God, that one. What about being eaten by a crook? Odds of living to 100. Yeah, what's that? In February 2021, there were 97,000 people alive.

It's something like woman. That differs greatly between the genders. Yeah. Woman, 80% of people who hit 100 are woman. So what are the chances? One in a million. Your chances of dying in a shark attack, one in seven million. So you're probably all right.

You'll be fine there, yeah. Chances are probably higher if you're a surfer. But again, if you've, yeah. Okay, so we want to know now the impossible phone-in topic. What is your one in ten million? What's your one in a million? The thing you just cannot believe happened to you. We don't want crap ones like this.

The odds of cracking open an egg with a double yolk, one in a thousand. I've had plenty. Do you know I've had a couple. We had one chicken that laid, we had a chicken that laid double yokers. Mutant chicken. Mutant chicken. She must have had the double yoker chain.

Anyway, you'll know it. If you have this thing, you're like, I have this super rare thing or this super rare thing happened to me. What is your one in a million thing that happened?

0800 dials at M, you can text as well, 9696. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. You can text as well, 9696. Well, the impossible phone-in topic. What is your one in a million or even more? Ten million, a hundred million, quiz or drillion.

Yeah, a woman gave birth to twins separately. So two sets of twins. Yeah. Two twins, two twins, not quadruplets. They were both in the oven, but they're not quadruplets. Yeah. Crazy. And it's a one in 10 million rarity that that occurs. Yeah.

So that's what we wanted to know. Do you have something like this where you're like, that shouldn't have happened, but it happened to me, or I have that. I'm one in five million. I'm one in 10. I've got five teeth down the bottom, a set of four. Is that a mutation?

You do have a lot. So you've got a middle tooth. The little ones, I've got a middle tooth. Who else had a middle? Wait, when you go to the dentist, when you go to your Lumino, you're as Warren on about them. Shout out to Lumino. Absolutely love them.

Lumino Mount Eden. Do you, do they, you know how the dentist has got the computer program and each tooth has got a thing? A name. They call it a something plus or like a something B. But does that freeze their computer system? I don't know.

They're like, Freak, Freak, Freak. 22. Sue, what's your one in a million? Oh, hey guys. Yeah, well, my one in a million. When I was seven years old,

I fell off my push bike and the handlebars of the push bike went down my throat. What? What? Yeah. How do you... Okay, so you're driving along, hands on the handlebars. Whoa! How did they end up down your throat?

I obviously did the big ahhh with my mouth open and as I came off, the handlebars twisted around and yeah, went down, yeah, right down my throat. How far down? Because it had torn all the back of my throat as they went down. Oh, Jesus. Like, I know. One in 10 million, like,

I don't know anyone else that that's happened to. Yeah, that sounds like a one in 100 million. Yeah. Yeah. Incredible. I've never spoken to anyone who has ever

known anybody for that to happen. Amazing. Sue, thanks for your story. Some of the

messages in, somebody said, my wife has had three MMR vaccines and still won't produce the antibodies for measles,

but is immune to mumps and rubella, the M and the R, but not the first M and they're studying her. Wow. Okay. Yeah. It's like those people that cannot catch COVID. Remember they were like sneezing into their mouth. Yeah, yeah. They couldn't get them.

Yeah. You might be one of them. You might be one of them. You might be one of them. Could be. Oh, someone messaged in the one thing Hayley mentioned off air. Somebody said,

I've got two different coloured eyes. Oh, yeah. And you said, Is that rare? Get out of here. Yeah, I said get out of here. Every other bloody Husky

and David Bowie had that. My parents won first division lotto twice on the same ticket about a year apart. Does it say how much they won? No. Because what do you give up?

You know, like, you hear people that win multiple lottos. It's like you won millions. They're still buying lotto tickets. Like, just calm down. Yeah. That's pretty cool. I don't know. Somebody, I won a bonus ticket from a bonus ticket, like, four times in a row.

I don't know if that's one in a million. That happens every time. But it's not one in a row. I don't know if that's one in a million. That happens every time. But it's not one in a million. I think that's just called gambling. That's called keeping you hooked. Yeah.

I ended up in the back of a J-Lo movie. Well, the chances of ending up in the back of a J-Lo movie, Hayley spat her water out, are one in two billion. I love that people are like,

I have this medical anomaly and they're like, I was in the back of a J-Lo movie. If you thought this podcast was nice and spicy, why don't you go tell your mama? Vaughan's mum doesn't like spice. Oh, okay.

Very plain. It's a salty podcast, though, and she's a huge fan of salt. Oh, she's got a high sodium intake. Christine. Tomorrow we promise more mild. Yeah, and if you'd like the podcast, rate and review.
