No fuck up science I don't need that now I need cake Thank you Sam Good morning Welcome to theletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. It's two minutes past six.

I don't know if you heard in the news there how very specific they were about the increase in delays in shipping from China. Oh, dear. 6,600 and something, something. Like, somebody's worked out. It's a lot of days. That is such a precise measurement of delay. Just say roughly a few years. No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's not a few years. It's the percentage increase in how long something takes to get from China to here. Are you waiting on something, Vaughan? No, I just thought it was funny that we even bothered saying 6,000% increase. Like, that's just better. Delays massively increase. Mass saying 6,000% increase. Like, delays massively increase. Massive delays. Massively increase.

Now that I've said it, I do want to check that map. Are you waiting for something from AliExpress? So, yeah, I ordered two things

at once. One showed up super quick. One was here like five days later sort of thing. What delays? Now we're a few months

down the track and I still haven't heard anything about the leather apron I ordered. A leather apron? Yeah. That's, hon, that's not going to be good.

Is that for your lathing and the like? It's just for a bit of everything. Right. Barbecuing, lathing. Out in your shed with your leather apron on and not much else?

Yeah, Vaughan Smith's upcoming The Forge. I'm going to build a forge, I'm going to build swords. You name it. But you need a leather apron if you're going to do any smithing. Yeah, Vaughan Smith's upcoming The Forge. I'm going to build a forge. I'm going to build swords. You name it. But you need a leather apron if you're going to do any smithing. Yeah, I just don't.

That's blacksmithing, not Vaughan Smithing. Yeah. Speaking of building things, I see your cows have utilised the shed. Yeah, they did. Last night it started raining

so I immediately put on a coat and ran out to see and yeah, the cows were in the shed which is pretty good. Imagine if they were just standing in the rain and you'd wasted all that time.

Somebody did message me saying I bet they don't use it. First of all what a prick of a thing to message somebody who's just spent a lot of money and a lot of time building his shed. And then I searched through all of my DMs to find them and I sent them a photo of them in the shed.

No comment. Just sent them the photo. them in the shed. Oh, pity. No comment. No comment. No comment. Just sent them the photo. Well, they're using it. Good. Coming up on the show this morning,

the top six. Yeah. The next cost of living payment is out on Thursday. Now, you may remember last time the cost of living payment went out. Boy, everybody got one. My brother got one.

Yeah. My wife got one. Although. My wife got one. Although she's a New Zealand citizen who earned under the amount, so she's totally entitled to one. But she was also very stoked to get it. Yeah, she's got a sugar daddy. Big daddy, sugar lumps. Big old leather apron daddy.

Leather apron, shed building, sugar lumps daddy over here. But a whole lot of people got them. So I've got the top six people and things that won't be getting the cost of living payment this time around. Because apparently the strings have been tightened. All right. Next on the show though, some dramas.

It's local body election time. It is. Hold the phone. God ugly core flute billboards are everywhere. Everywhere. But one man has shown us exactly what not to do while erecting your billboards are everywhere. Everywhere. But one man has shown us exactly what not to do while erecting your billboards.

Well Nathan Meyer is running for the Eastern Ward of Wellington in the local body elections which are happening at the moment which I personally think they should outlaw the advertising for. It's so ugly and out of date and surely wasteful. Yeah, councils have all these rules when you've got a business

about signs and signage, but it all just seems to go out the window when they want to be elected. Yeah. Isn't it? Yeah, environmental impact, all that. It's just rubbish. How would you like to see them advertising? Just Facebook ads or something?

Online or Yeah, cool TikToks and stuff Yeah, right But the trouble is that I mean, I'm not HelloFresh sponsored posts Yes No, that's what I want to see

I want to see who they align themselves with Paid post-wise I want to see every mayoral candidate How they peddle HelloFresh Yeah, yeah, exactly And then I'll vote for them Yes The best one wins

Some creative content Yeah That's what I want to see I want to judge people on their content Well, Nathan Meyer's got one of those little taglines Yeah, exactly. And then I'll vote for them. Yes. The best one wins. Some creative content. Yeah. That's what I want to say. I want to judge people on their content. Well, Nathan Meyer's got one of those little taglines even. Lower rates, fixing our infrastructure. Which is, I always think that,

I see what you're about to say and I'm thinking the same thing. When you lower your rates, that's effectively how the council has money and then to fix the infrastructure costs money. So unless Nathan's being elected to immediately start working for free, in turn offering his, maybe he'll sell off all the libraries.

Perfect. Because I reckon so many books, you'd probably get a few mil for that. I'd buy a library. I'd have a book burning. Yeah. Anything that doesn't sort of fit with my way of life, you know?

Jane Austen's. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, no. She's just a female. She shouldn't be writing books. All those bloody spot books with the lift-up flaps. Oh, God. Get rid of them.

Burn them. What are you burning those for? Well, it's misleading. You can't do that in real life. But we haven't found Spot yet. He'll be burned for life. In the book. Too late.

He should have gone missing. He should have come and we called his name. He should have listened to his mother. So lower rates, fixing our infrastructure, and we're not going to be able to afford to lower rates because while putting up his signage, the wooden stake wasn't doing the job. Right.

You know, you see them on the wooden stakes, pound them into the ground. Yeah, that wasn't working. So he thought he might drive in some Y posts, which are like steel, we call them waratahs, kiwitahs or another name. They're like a, imagine the Mercedes-Benz logo with the circle taken off.

Yeah. You know, the three. Probably that, but metal. And then you drive it into the ground. You drive those into the ground and then you screw the wood into them through one of the holes. Right.

He is in Wellington, so you've got to secure it. Yeah, windy. It's been very wet because they might just slop over or be part of a landslide if they're just a wooden stake in the ground. Anyway, he drives that metal warrata straight through the billboard, straight through the internet cable, cutting internet to everybody in the area. Well, that's one way to get people to vote for you.

Just to inconvenience them. Wildly inconvenience them. To be honest, he's lucky he was the only one that did it because there's billboard signs all down the stretch of grass. Oh, wow, okay. Yeah, look at this. I'll show you the photo of the guy fixing this. Oh, wow, yeah, okay.

There's billboard signs everywhere. Now, these people are running to represent you at the local council and they, you know, aren't checking where they should be slamming metal into the ground.

Always. What's that thing called? One something. One, two, four before you dig. There you go. Call that.

So, the internet cable's green. That's had the Waratah driven through it. Next to it is an orange one. Is that power? I think it's power. Because that's what... Because that's the double whammy. If you lose power, you lose the internet. Yeah.

But this way you could still boil the jug, but you couldn't go on the internet. You'd get a cup of tea and keep the heater on. Yeah, but you couldn't watch anything online anymore. So it was like... Imagine driving a metal rod through a power. Because I only think

it's power because when I went to buy recently some conduit, like the plastic pipe. Yeah. And the power stuff was all orange. Wastewater was all grey.

Oh, so it's all colour coded. Yeah. What's the green one? Because green... Internet. Is it? Yeah, right. I don't know.

It must be other services perhaps. Okay. So a few thousand dollars at least will be sent. To fix it. The repair bill will be sent to the person who damaged it. I love that. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. You may find this quite shocking,

but people are sick and tired of social media influencers posting about their lavish lives and their glamorous existences while everyone else is sitting at home struggling under the weight of the cost of living. Yeah. Understandable. Yeah, we used to look at

them and think, oh, that's what I want. It's kind of a voyeuristic way of how nice would it be? But now it's like the reality for most people is going so far the other way, it's hard to buy a bloody head of cabbage. And they're still posting about their fancy cars and Louis Vuitton bags.

People are over it. But then I'm like, if you were, like, what are you influencing if you're not sharing? If you're not influencing extreme consumerism stuff, 99% of people can't afford. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's like people are finally waking up to it.

Also, like a lot of the time, especially, I mean, this is out of the UK, said 60% of people said the cash rich lifestyles of influencers is driving them mad. But also that like a lot of it's really tone deaf. Like if you look at a lot of those influencers, they work with those like fast fashion brands. Yeah. That are like cheap, cheaply made, fast fashion,

going straight into the landfill after two wears because the stitching wasn't stitched very well by a six year old. Should I cancel my Primer with Primark, do you think? Yeah, I don't know if Primark's going to be the one for you. I should cancel it. All the British ones do, like pretty

little thing. That's the UK one. Right. It's like a $5 polyester top that's the right the UK one right where yeah it's like a $5 polyester top that's gonna get right into the nose hole of a whale pretty soon

I feel like I'm having weekly conversations with my kids at the moment about how like the YouTubers some of the YouTubers they watch which I'm

steering them away from there's a couple of really good engineering ones I'm pointing them towards engineering Mark Rober's my favourite engineering one. He's the guy that made that glitter bomb when people

kept stealing his packages and the squirrel obstacle course. He's amazing. He's the best. And they really like him, so they watch him. But there's a couple of people that just seem to have insane amounts of money. Yeah, right. And they do things like pull $10,000 pranks.

I'm like, you know no one has enough money to pull $10,000 pranks. I'm like, you know, like no one has enough money to pull $10,000 pranks. And they're like, well, where does he get his money from? I'm like, I can't explain it. I'm assuming he's from a rich family and he's getting paid a lot to do these. But pranks don't need to cost $10,000. Yeah. Who's the guy who does the like million dollar Mr. Beast? Oh, Mr. Beast.

But he gives a lot of it away, right? Yeah, he gives it all back into it. He's a really interesting story because he makes a phenomenal amount of money, but I think he said something like 75% of everything he makes just goes straight back into making the next video. Well, that one that he did of Squid Games

would have cost like millions. It had more people watching the first week than watched the actual Squid Game in the first week. It's insane. That's crazy. Yeah. There was a social media influencer called,

I'm so out of touch, and Karwen will be like, oh my God, Hayley. Molly May? Molly May. Is that someone I should know? Karwen, do you know Molly May? Do you know Molly May?

Yep. Yep. Okay. Nana here didn't know who Molly May was. Aw. Okay, boomer. Okay, well, she's got 6.4 million Instagram followers. Okay, Boomer. Okay, well she's got 6.4 million Instagram followers.

And then she had a bit of a Kim Kardashian moment because they were like, how are you so successful? She was on Love Island. And she was like, well, you know, we're all given 24 hours of the day. And everyone just blew up and was

like, no, we don't. No, we don't all have the same 24 hours in the day, Molly Mae. So she was basically saying like, I've made myself successful because I use my 24 hours. And we all know a spiritual warrior who, you know, talks about earthing and stuff on Instagram that's living off daddy's pocket. So, I mean, you've got to just look a bit deeper, don't you? Also, how many less hours

do you have if you're working a nine to five job and then you're going home and you have to cook dinner for your family? I mean, you've lost a few of those 24.

But hey. I'm just doing the maths if it's an eight hour day. Eight, nine, ten, eleven. It's an eight hour day and then some actual life stuff. All right, 6.21. Next on the show,

the top six. Yeah, the top six costs the people that won't be getting the cost of living payments. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah.

This is the top six. Hello there. Remember the cost of living payment? Yes. When did that come in? First of... March? No.

No, March. No, it was like August, wasn't it? It's September in a couple of days, guys. I know. It feels like Easter. August, September, October, the first day. Yeah. It was $500 split across three months.

So there'll be three. The next one is on Thursday, the first of September. Yeah. And there was outrage three. The next one is on Thursday, the 1st of September. Yeah. And it was outrage, wasn't there? Because people will over... Your brother got one, and he's a rich prick in Australia. Yeah, my brother got one as well, and he lives in Australia, has done for about 13 years.

13 years? Yeah. Yeah, my brother's been there since 2005, so was that 18 years? Nearly. Okay, they did waste a lot of money. A lot of people. A lot of people. But you had to have a New Zealand bank account, right?

Yeah, Kiwi bank account. And he got some good Uber Eats and I think he ordered a T-shirt from America. It was good. He ordered a T-shirt from America. Wow. So he really needed it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.

Uber Eats and a T-shirt. Helping at the cost of living, man. It's getting it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Uber Eats and a T-shirt. Helping at the cost of living, man. It's getting high. Yeah. So the government have said that they're going to crack down this time. There'll be a harder... Tightening the belt. Yeah.

Tightening the belt. There'll be harder criteria. Yeah. But I wouldn't have even said that. No. Because now everybody's going to be like, they said they were making it harder, but I've still got it. This person's still got it.

Yeah. That situation. So I've got the top six people and things that won't be getting the cost of living payment this time around. Number six, your dead grandparent, who technically doesn't have a job, but also doesn't have a pulse.

Did a few dead people get it last time? I never heard, but... The recently deceased, surely. Does your bank account stay open when you die? Yeah, unless... Until you've resolved all your stuff. Unless someone closes it. But that's part of...

If you die with assets, though, it's got to stay open until all that's taken care of. Look, if you've got money in there and your family are still alive, they'll get it out for you. They'll help you out. Don't you worry. They'll get you. Number five on the list

of the top six people who won't be getting the cost of living payment this year around. Someone earning $100,000 Australian dollars but technically not one New Zealand dollar. So they do need some New Zealand dollars to I don't know, order a t-shirt from America and get paid

from Uber Eats. Number four on the list of the top six people of things that won't be getting the cost of living payment this time around, your GST-registered dog. You guys got your dogs and cats GST-registered? I don't think Raleigh's GST-registered. No, you're missing an absolute trick. No, he doesn't make enough. Well, that's the trick, though.

You divert some of your income to your cats and dogs. Is this how you pay zero tax? Bingo. Right. Well, that's the trick, though. You divert some of your income to your cats and dogs. Is this how you pay zero tax? Bingo. Right. Okay. Yeah, yeah. This is why I've got so many animals. Right.

They're all GST registered. They're all GST registered. And all employees. Right. Okay. So, you know, they're all getting a little slice there. Yeah. This, by the way, that's not true.

Don't look into me. You're asking for it, mate. I feel like I'm poking the bear. Who is also GSE registered? Number three on the list of the top six people that won't be getting the cost of living payment

this time around. Someone who technically doesn't have a job, but they do talk about being a member of a trust a lot. Remember those kids at school? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Often dairy farmers,

children who went to university and somehow drove a mum's, you know, five- five year old BMW as their university car but somehow also got the student allowance. I know they always got the student allowance. I wasn't allowed the student allowance. No I wasn't either. My parents couldn't afford to give me money.

No but it didn't make any sense because you weren't allowed it because mum and dad earned too much but then mum and dad didn't give me any money. Yeah. But also, your dad worked in finance. He should have had that all tied up with a bow on top. I know, I know.

He should have been getting the benefit, technically, if he'd played his cards right. Don't look into him. A lot of don't look into what's here. Number two on the list of the top six people of things that won't be getting the cost of living payment this time around. The actual cost of living payment itself won't be getting the cost of living payment this time around. The actual cost of

living payment itself won't be getting the cost of living payment. Oh, that's good because it got it last time. It got it last time. It did. But it also paid everybody, so yeah. There's a paradox there. Don't look too far into it. Don't look into it. Not for the fact that someone's going to owe some tax. You may collapse the universe.

Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six people that won't be getting the cost of living payment this time around Clark Gayford. Because he's picked up another series of the House Moving Show. Oh, right. So it puts him above the threshold. The threshold. Daddy's out there earning their buckaroos.

Yeah, nice. Yeah, yeah. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. There has been a study done in America looking into the sleep habits of people of our age, our generation. And did you like how I included us all as part of the same generation? Well, it was kind of you depending on what generation. Gen Z, right guys? No cap. No cap.

No cap. No cap. Girl, we bussin'. We what? We bussin'. I think bussin' is good. No, no, no. I assume it's business.

You're embarrassing everybody here. I'm pretty sure last time I did a whole Gen Z lingo thing, people loved it. Yeah, actually, we hated it. People loved it because Gen Z were like, yes, we stan our zaddy. That's what they said. And then millennials were like, that's right, kill their language.

Because when someone our age does the language, it certainly takes a few cool points off it. And Gen X were just like, man, I thought I was out of touch. It made everybody feel good. Yeah. It certainly takes a few cool points of it. And Gen X were just like, what? Man, I thought I was out of touch. It made everybody feel good. Yeah, right. Yeah.

I'll Google some more Gen Z lingo, shall I? No, no, don't. No, I think we're good. I think we're good. I think us millennials, we can just chill out. Am I being chuggy?

You're being a little bit chuggy, mate. Dude, dude, it hits different. It just hits different when you're being chuggy. Just stop. Shall I screw it out of here? Stop. Look, we have no choice but to move on.

Yeah. Anyway, so it looked at lots of our sleep habits, how often we wake up, three times a night, and everyone was, like, shocked by that. That's a good night for me. Do you guys wake up in the middle of the night? I reckon once or twice. Every night, right?

I always need to go for a wheeze. Always need to do a nana wheeze. If I sleep all through the night, I wake up in the middle of the night? I reckon once or twice. Every night, right? Because I always need to go for a wheeze. Always need to do a nana wheeze. If I sleep all through the night, I wake up scared, confused. I just don't know what's going on. I reckon I've only slept entirely through the night in the last 10 years, like five times. And I've woken up and gone like, what time is it? Where am I?

Where am I? How did I get here? Always. I'd love to have a full night's sleep. I just think it would be lovely. One of the main things I looked into was eating habits in bed. Crumbs in the sheets. Big no for me. But I do love a little, you know,

I always pull the sheet right up, almost like a bib. Yeah. You tuck it in and then the crumbs can't get on the bed. And then you just, woof, flick the sheet and the crumbs just go that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that way, onto the carpet. Right. You're a monster.

Well, this is a very hypocritical stats here because 35% of respondents admitted that they eat in bed. Yeah. So about a third yeah and then 38 percent of people said that they would leave their partner they would dump someone if they were a chronic eater in bed yeah really i mean i guess it depends on your circumstances because i when i was flatting you'd just go and eat in your room why so you didn't have to share your place well no so you just didn't'd just watch a movie in bed rather than,

and you'd watch your TV in your room rather than in the lounge. Yeah. You know? Yeah, I don't. And you'd be in bed. Eat in bed. And then so you'd have a snack.

You might have a Malteser or an M&M or a packet or two. Oh, no, chocolate on the sheets is so bad. Have you ever done that in a hotel and you've eaten chocolate in bed and a little bit's gone on the sheets? And I remember once I had to, yeah, I left a little note and I pointed to it. This is not poo.

This is not poo. You say M&M's dangerous. You pour an M, I always pour them in my mouth and then you miss and one goes somewhere. Those things stain sheets. Oh my God, the colour and the chocolate. Yeah.

You can't get chocolate out of fabric easily. Explain to hotel housekeeping the next morning the red M&M that somehow ended around the bar and the chocolate. Yeah. You can't get chocolate out of fabric easily. Explain to hotel housekeeping the next morning the red M&M that somehow ended around the back and got crushed. So it is both red and brown now. The worst is toast. You can't eat toast in bed. It's crummy. Chips.

You don't eat chips in bed. Curry. Yeah. Full English. I mean, you wouldn't get like a butter chicken Stained out of a sheet No it'd be the end of the sheet It'd be the end of the sheet You would actually be best

To take the rest of that And finish your butter chicken But then with the rest Of the sauce Soak it Soak the whole sheet In the sauce Yeah and then you've got like

And then you've got orange sheets Well orange and those Kind of mustardy colours Are in at the moment So they go with everything Lovely neutral Lovely Rust

Yeah Beautiful colour Although the sauce Of the butter chicken I couldn't That's the best bit For me they're in at the moment. So they go with everything. Lovely neutral. Yeah, rust. Lovely rust. Yeah. Beautiful colour. Although the sauce of the butter chicken, I couldn't, that's the best bit for me. Yeah, but do you want to chuck these sheets out or not?

Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. ZM. Fletch Vaughan and Hayley, silly little po, silly little po. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole.

Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. How's it up? Silly little pole today. I'm just trying to make Fletch stand up. Do you have your ring for standing up? I don't, I don't know.

I don't know if I do. You got all lazy. After you got COVID, didn't you put down all your goals to, like, standing five hours a day? Yeah, I did. Did you put it on the lowest? Have you not put it back up? No, I haven't put it back up. You son of a bitch.

But I've been closing my ring so easy every day. You close your rings on the walk to work. Yeah, I do. All right. What day do you buy your groceries? That's today's little poll, not what do your rings sit at for your watch. What day do you buy your groceries? We gave you the options Monday or

Tuesday. That was one of the options. Monday slash Tuesday. Wednesday slash Thursday. Friday slash Saturday or Sunday. Friday slash Saturday. Those are very different days. And also, I mean, it's hard because Instagram doesn't give you

unlimited options. But I would have loved to have seen And also, I mean, it's hard because Instagram doesn't give you another option. Unlimited options. Unlimited options. But I would have loved to have seen her most days or just when I need food option. Yeah. When I'm hungry. And then in brackets, which I realise is a bad idea. Because I live within Kiwi of like two or three supermarkets, hundreds of metres away, I just get stuff when I need it. I, when I

saw this, because I do believe when I checked, the majority was Sunday, end of the week, setting up for a new week. I was shocked because it's so busy on a Sunday. That's a rookie era. You've got to go like 11am on a Monday. You've got to leave work.

People work on a Monday at 11am. You've got to do it. People work on a Monday at 11am. You've got to do it in your lunch break and pop home. Quit your job. It's so quiet. Quit your job and work around when the quietest time goes. I don't know if that's possible for everybody. Don't go on a Sunday. It's chaos on a Sunday.

Like yesterday when I stopped in on the way home to pick up Hayley and Aaron two bottles of Prosecco at a market. There was no one there, and the only person there was me buying two bottles of booze, to which I said to the person, this is for my friend with COVID, and they did not believe me. Yeah, because it was like 10 o'clock in the morning.

Yeah, that's also what an alcoholic would say at 10 a.m. on a Monday. Yeah. That's for my friend. My friend who has COVID wants two bottles of lovely sparkling Prosecco, please. I will say you bought two different brands, which is a while.

Yeah. No, you don't do that because you're going to drink them one after the other. Yeah, I know, but there was three brands. One was more expensive, so that absolutely

wasn't going to purchase. The other two were the same price and I didn't know which to pick, so I was like one of each. Okay. And then you could maybe have a new favourite. I don't know. No, one was better than the other. Okay. same price and I didn't know which to pick, so I was like, one of each. Okay. And then you could maybe have a new favourite, I don't know. No, one was better than the other. Okay, well that's good to know.

Okay. What day do you buy your groceries? An overwhelming 43% of people do it on Sunday. I know, because they're always at the supermarket on a Sunday, blocking up the aisles. Busy old Sunday. Also a high chance I'll be hung over on a Sunday. I don't want to be at a supermarket on a Sunday. Because all you'll leave with is like buns and pizza.

Carbs, chocolate, lollies, everything. Second was the Friday-Saturday combo at 21%. Monday-Tuesday came in at 20%. But it seems Wednesday-Thursday might be the day to do it. Yeah. Do you think a lot of people get paid like mid to late week? Maybe, maybe. So you get paid, so you buy your groceries straight away

so you're not spending it? No, according to this, you go out all weekend and then whatever money you've got left, you spend on your groceries. On your food. That's how that works. Stephanie gave us some feedback. Monday morning because I'm a bougie bee

who only works part time. I might have a mum bun, an oversized sweater and two toddlers in a trolley screaming, but I'm living my best life at pack and save on a Monday, bitch. Yeah, good stuff. And you get the new weekly specials too. Did your mum used to go, because we had a countdown and a new world. It was a three guys and a new world,

and then three guys burnt down and they rebuilt it and rebranded. But did your mum used to go to both supermarkets to get the specials? Nah, she was just a pack and saver. My mum would go to... Really? Countdown for the Countdown specials and then New World for the New World specials. But what if she got to the second supermarket and it wasn't on special?

No, she knew because she cut out the coupons. Oh. She'd get the mailer. She'd circle things. Yeah, right. She'd get the mailer and she'd go through it. She still does that and she writes on her Croxley shopping list. Wow.

Like, two, New World at the top, countdown down the bottom. See, that's alright if they're right close to each other, but if you're driving 20 minutes across town and wasting $4 in gas, I don't know if your savings are adding up after that. My mum would just get whatever specials were on at the farmer's market that weekend.

Well, you know, you buy very season led farmer's markets. What were the specials at the local butcher? What have you got for me today? Make sure you line the boot of the Mercedes. You don't want dirt on the carpet. Oh, no, you can't have that. The help will be taking the Corolla.

Janet says, Saturday, it's too busy during the week. I'm too busy during the week with work and kids, and Sunday is shit because half the shelves are empty by then. That's true. Oh, that's a new thought of that. Yeah, what's the stock-up day? Because sometimes you'd go to a supermarket and you'd. Oh, that's, I never thought of that. What's the stock up, the stock up day? Because sometimes you'd go to a supermarket and you'd be like, there's like no fruit and veg.

It's different for every merchandiser, right? Yeah. Yeah. Marie writes, we go when we run out of copper kettle chips. No. That's the marker. Lily, all of the days. I never know what I want for tea until it's time for tea. Yeah, I like that.

I'm the same. Tegan writes Tuesday because usually that's the next food restock and I don't want to deal with grocery shoppers on the weekend. So there she's got a little inside knowledge there. Yeah, I reckon a midweek. Like, go after dinner. Late Wednesday. Like, a midweek is ideal.

Emily's messaged in, I live in Germany where everything is shut on Sundays and shuts at 7pm on weeknights. The Germans. The Germans.

So I am so stuck doing the shopping on Saturdays with millions of other people. What fun and games. Oh, that sounds horrible. Yeah. Geneva goes on Monday

or Tuesday if I'm shopping for hot, unorganised men in the aisles. Otherwise Sunday if I'm shopping for hot, unorganised men in the aisles. Otherwise, Sunday if I'm shopping for food. Bananas up? Is that the thing? In your trolley, bananas up?

Danny says Sunday at like 8 or 8.30am. It's the best. Barely anyone is there and you can get it done really fast. Beat the hangovers. Yeah, beat the hangovers. Everybody with the hangovers. See, everyone's a little different. That is the end of Cilipol.

The end. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. The world's most chaotic game show. I'm still writing their names down. I'm still writing their names down. Chaos starts. Yeah. It wouldn't be chaos.

No, but she wasn't first, you see. She wasn't first. Yeah, right. Okay. The producers and I discussed. Anna said, let's not give away

cash, let's give away a thing. And I said, what about a piece of clothing? And they just said their favourite part. And we went through pretty much all of the parts of your body. Apart from arm, as it turns out. Yeah, right. But we'll get you a long-sleeved T-shirt. Congratulations. That really seems like the last few minutes was worth it, doesn't it?

It does. Great investment of your time. Laugh at the world's most cut of game show. Coming up on the show, the biggest five moments from the Britney Spears self... Would you call it a self interview? It was like a self-released

voice memo about her conservatorship. Yeah, it's coming up on the show but joining us next, she's got a new cookbook out. Miss Polly's Kitchen. That's her Instagram handle.

I just saw a Korean chicken recipe on Instagram. Oh, I love your Instagram. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Great Instagram. I mean, I'm already hungry. Damn, my porridge is going to live up to any of these recipes. Alright, she joins us next. Oh, I love Instagram. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Great Instagram. I mean, I'm already hungry. I doubt my porridge is going to live up to any of these recipes.

All right, she joins us next. I like you. I do. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. We're joined in studio by Miss Polly herself of Miss Polly's Kitchen, and her book is out today,

Miss Polly's Kitchen, for the love of eating. Polly Marcus, good morning. Good morning. Look at all these recipes. To be honest, I'm going to skip the risotto. Why are you skipping the risotto? I don't like risotto.

It's easy. It's baked. Yeah, I don't like risotto. It's not baked. It's not the cooking. I'm just not a risotto guy. A bit gluggy. Oh, my God.

I'm not saying your risotto is gluggy. Next page. Oh, my God. I'm not saying your risotto is gluggy. Next page. Oh, ginger hard cooker stir fry. Now we are cooking with gas. Beautiful. What was that? The veggie section? Yeah, it actually was white veggie.

Okay. Now, this must be pretty exciting for you because you've gone from Instagram to now having, like, the book, a cookbook. The book is here, yes. The book is here. It's really exciting. I feel like it's obviously been a long time coming. Like the book, a cookbook. The book is here, yes. The book is here. It's really exciting. I feel like it's obviously been a long time coming.

Like I've looked at that book so many times and now it's out. So it's a bit like, whoa. And then the first day it's out, somebody rubbishes risotto. Yeah. You've got salad and sides and vegetarian. Wouldn't that be one chapter? No. I'm not seeing enough meat in this.

Go back, keep flicking, there's chicken. Oh, there's plenty of meat in it. Oh, no, I know there's plenty of meat. I was just like, if we're looking to cut some pages, you know, maybe it's a smaller book. Stop hunting for the meat, Vaughn. There's more to life than just meat. I'm a hunter-gatherer. I'm a long-time fan, first-time chatter.

Now, I'm obviously locked up at home because I've got the COVID-19, though I am out tomorrow. I've followed your Instagram for a long time. Do I need fancy ingredients because there's nothing left in my pantry? I've got mince in the fridge.

Oh, you could make Dan Dan noodles then. Oh, I just made Dan Dan noodles. Or there's a really good ricotta beef mince meatball situation. Polly, I've been locked up

and do I look like a ricotta in the fridge? I could drop some off. Actually, Vaughn's dropping off some wine for me. Vaughn, do you want to... I'm not doing a full shop. I'm not doing a fancy shop. Looking at your Instagram and the photos in the book

as well, do you have like a special bird's eye view camera thing? iPhone. Is it all? Is it seriously? Not the cookbook. The cookbook was a bit more serious, but all that Instagram photos camera thing? iPhone. Is it all? Is it seriously? The cookbook was a bit more serious, but all the Instagram photos are off my iPhone. Are you kidding? Because they look so professional.

No, but I just pray that after a full day's work that sometimes I can get home before it's dark and take a photo. Wow. They honestly look so professional. Yeah, because how come your bench

isn't full of all the same junk like mine is? Like keys and... Oh, it is. That's actually, no, do you know what I've got? They're like these vinyl things you can buy. So it looks like I've got a really fancy marble bench. Oh, yeah, like that.

I'm just looking. That's outside. Wow. Are you kidding? Wow. This book should be re-titled Miss Polly's Lies. How did you decide what went into the book? Because you've got so many recipes on Instagram.

So I had to write 70 recipes and was told that I couldn't have too many that were already on Instagram, which is fair enough. Oh my God. But there's probably maybe eight from my Instagram and then all the new ones. I think it's just food.

Like I think of a flavor, I think of a protein and then how I would like to eat it, or what I find interesting, and sort of create the recipes that way. So I was trying to break it down. I mean, I think in the book, there's a lot of sides and salads,

which I think are aimed at people that don't really love to cook, but want to make something or throw it together. That's impressive. Yeah. Half my book's sort of about entertaining. Do you know what makes a salad impressive? Pomegranate seeds. Yes.

Where did you learn your trade? Where did you learn all these bits and pieces? My dad was an amazing cook but, so he sort of taught me from a young age just because I was obsessed with eating. So it probably made their lives easier. I was obsessed with eating too. My parents did stuff like defrost the pizza raw.

There's pies in the chest freezer. Oh, he was pretty, yeah, he was quite an amazing cook. So I guess I learnt from him and then I went travelling when I was 21. How old are you now though?

I'm 25. You're 25, okay. No, I'm 32. You're 32? I went, when I went travelling I went to do the super yachts and fell into a job.

More of a Ms. Polly, then. No. Miz? No, we're not Miz. No, Polly, I'm 32 as well. I bring this up because I know this is a sore point for Hayley, who's desperately holding on to her Miz title. Her Miz, yeah.

She's very much a Miz crowd. You turn around and look on the screen. You're a Miz. This is a Miz. This is a... No! I'm wearing a hoodie! I'm young and cool!

You're old and cool. You're old and sick. So sorry, Angela. You're on a super yacht. Yeah. And then I basically, I got a job as a crew chef, which was cooking for 15 hungry men and a couple of women every day, three meals a day.

And then I basically didn't have a budget. so our boss would just let you buy whatever you wanted and you could create wow yeah it was incredible so that's how I sort of learnt I had a couple of head chefs over the course of three years

that I learnt from I was meant to do it for six months and had so much fun I couldn't leave well it's out today and wow the photos the recipe's incredible

even the risotto I didn't even get to the dessert is there enough meat in there for you oh yeah dude dude dude dude if I may call you dude. Is there enough meat in there for you? Oh, yeah, dude. Dude, dude, dude. If I may call you dude. There's so much meat in here.

Miss Dude's Kitchen. Yeah, there's pork. There's lamb shoulder, which I think is probably the best cut of lamb. The lamb shoulder. Slow cook that guy. There's your large meatballs. You've got some lamb rump. The dan dan noodles.

I'm sorry, did I see a chicken snitty in there too? Yeah. A parmy? Because you know I love a parmy. He loves a chicken parmy. You need to tab that dan palmy, because you know I love a palmy. He loves a palmy. You need to tab that Dan Dan Noodles page, because you're picking me up all the ingredients on the way home, please. Well, the book comes with one of these strings.

Not enough books these days come with a string. No. I need a string. A ribbon. A Dan Dan Noodle. Okay, well, you sort that out in your own time, please. Ta-da. Miss Polly's Kitchen for the love of eating the book is out now.

Polly, thank you for coming in. So yesterday, this was huge. And then it kind of just... Fizzled. It just kind of fizzled. I don't know why. I don't know why. Especially because there has been so much interest in her conservatorship

and the fact that she's been held prisoner for most of her life by her dad and family. Yeah. So basically, yeah. And then obviously end of last year, that conservatorship was ended. It went through the courts. It was ended. Hashtag free Britney.

Britney was freed. Loads of documentaries and podcasts about it. Heaps of stuff coming out. People were so curious. But she's never really gotten into it. So if you're like me or an avid follower of Britney on the likes of Instagram

and Twitter, she was free for sure. Like she'd have these kind of big rants about her family and these big kind of jumbled messages. It didn't help this image, I guess, that people thought like Britney was crazy, basically. Yeah. It didn't help this image, I guess, that people thought like Britney was crazy, basically.

Yeah. And there were even last week or at the beginning of this week, rumours that she'd even signed a deal with Oprah and was going to sit down and do a tell-all. Yes. And then yesterday, she released,

because she's removed her Instagram temporarily, I believe. I don't know if it's back up. She on Twitter released like an unedited 22-minute long voice memo. And it's just her, it looks like she's just like this, right? Like holding her phone and just looking freely into it. It is edited together. It's not like a 22-minute raw uncut.

No, no, no. Because there were definitely, well, I could hear cuts. And there's your mumbled audio as well. That's your bloody radio. Yeah. Yeah, he's listening with his ears there. Well, bitch,

the thing is it's like self-release and it's unpolished and she starts off by acknowledging like that she could have done Oprah. She could have done a big 60-minute style

tell-all interview about what's happened to her in the past 15 years during her conservatorship. And she said it didn't feel right to get paid to do that because it still doesn't make sense to her. And that was kind of it. And she just got into the story of like,

she doesn't even know what happened. It was a really sad, wild 22-minute listen. It was insane. So we've got five moments that we've picked from this 22 minutes just to give you a taste of the things she talked about. One of the first moments was how under control of her father she was. I think the main thing I do remember when I started was my dad's control. He loved to control everything I did.

I remember the first day he said, I'm Britney Spears and I'm calling the shots. And I'm like, all righty then. Yeah. So the one thing I noticed about this as well is like, I mean, I know her voice sounds terrible. She sounds like she's got COVID. She sounds a bit like me.

But like, it's the first time she's not doing this like kind of cutesy, you know, like thing that she does on Instagram. It's actually quite. Well, cynical Vaughn wondered if it's even her. I thought, this is why I thought it wasn't big in news because you'd all been drawn into a ruse from a Britney impersonator.

Listening to it, it's 100% her. If this is a fake, it's pretty well done. It's pretty, yeah. Dude, we live in the time of deep fakes. There wasn't a video accompaniment. You've seen how easy it is to replicate people's voices. You're so cynical. You are.

It's her. Another moment, which is, you know, because we know a lot about her dad, but she hasn't talked a lot about the rest of her family and how she couldn't understand how her mum and her sister were behaving. But the whole thing that made it really confusing for me is these people are on the street fighting for me,

but my sister and my mother aren't doing anything. To me, it was like they secretly honestly liked me being the bad one like i was messed up and they kind of just liked it that way otherwise why weren't they outside my doorstep saying baby girl get in the car let's go i think that's the main thing that hurt me um i couldn't process how my family went along with it for so long. Because they were taking all of your money, I think, is the answer to that. So she keeps going on to it being like

they were like staying in my holiday home, you know, they were just living up on Brittany's dime while she was made to be she was like gaslit to make her feel crazy and she was going the whole time like, I don't know what I've done to be here. I mean, I know she had a public meltdown,

but God, give the girl a break. Yeah, and she goes on as well to talk about her mum. I'm honestly more angry at my mum because I heard when reporters would call her at the time and ask questions of what was going on, she would go innocently hide in the house and she wouldn't speak up. It was always like, I don't know what to say.

I just don't want to say the wrong thing. We're praying for her. Yeah. And speaking, I mean, obviously she comes from a godly family and Brittany herself has always been a godly woman. But there was a moment during all of this where she admitted that that was even up in question. The main thing, to to this day i kind of stopped believing in god at that time because i didn't know how they could have 40 people leave my house a day and me work from

eight to six at night be seen changed every time i changed in the shower no privacy no door nothing how did they get away with it? And what the f*** did I do to deserve that? So she couldn't even take a shower without being watched by people? No, she was like in a full psych ward. There's a moment in the memo where she talks about it. She did something like said, I don't want to do that dance move. And then the next day there was like a SWAT team in her house and she was like um what is going on anyway the whole thing

is really devastating uh we'll end with this one which is basically how she felt so manipulated I feel like the scare tactic and how badly they treated me in the end I think they thought I was gonna come begging back to work again because I was, they thought, you know, I needed them. Because they did, they put me in an ignorant, scared state of mind to make me feel like I needed them. And if you don't do what we say, we're going to show you who's boss. It's just awful. It was a wild listen. But I kind of love that she's gone this way about it because it's very Britney.

Britney is now officially unfiltered and even to do some kind of well lit, you know, beautiful makeup version sitting down with Oprah. You wouldn't get that

kind of truth, would you? I mean, yeah. It's gone now though. Yeah. So because she released, it was uploaded on YouTube and lasted like 20 minutes. But that was enough for everybody to save it.

Grab a copy and share it around. Yeah. And then she like she posted it. It's very earnest. You know, it's really like raw. Yeah. And then the next video she posted on Twitter was her like dancing in a yellow bikini. And she's like, I'm Maria Sunshine.

So, you know, good luck, Brittany. Hang on, there we go. All right, we're back on air now. We're in the wrong setting. Were we? We, you say we, but I want no part of that. Jared came in and messed with my settings. You pushed the button, Jared.

Why did you touch the buttons? Because I'm a bloody idiot. You're a pussy. Nah, I needed to chat to Hayley and that's my fault. That's what this button's

for, isn't it? Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. But then, you know, the co-pilot flew for a bit but coming in for landing. I would have double checked your settings there,

pilot feature. This is like I was pilot feature. I'd popped out to the do-wees in the cabin and I'd use the toilet I'd popped out to do wheeze in the cabin. Don't do wheeze in the cabin. Use the toilet. Oh, no, in the main passenger cabin.

Don't wee in the main passenger cabin. And I had a chat to the flight attendants and they gave me a little sandwich. What a flirt. And Jared was in the captain's seat and then I came in and he's taken autopilot off

and we've crashed. That's what's happened here. It was a poor handover. It's entirely my fault. I'm so sorry. I would have double checked my settings before coming into landing. Jared has to take all the dishes out to the kitchen today. We've got a trend alert.

I think we've got a trend alert thing. That's what Jared came in to do. So he hasn't told me that either. He did! He did! Trending alert. Honestly, it was all worth it, I reckon. Yeah, I think it certainly was.

Let's have a hard reset. Let's have a hard reset. No, we're not. We're here now. I can't go on from here. We're here now. I refuse to work in these conditions. We can only move forward.

We can only move forward. I'm contacting my union. You don't have a union. I'm doing this I'm part of the firefighters union. Are you? Okay.

It's got nothing to do with this job but I'm pretty sure the union will step in for me. Vaughn, I know you're not on board with moving forward but you're going to be on board with this

trend alert. Also, how are you part of the firefighters union when you have illegal fires in your backyard? You do. I'm a firefighter. I'm being watched by a firefighter.

Okay, right. Okay, fair call. Fair call. Okay, trending alerts. I don't have the right equipment, by the way. They're not supplying me with the right equipment. I've got my garden hose. That's not enough.

Get on board or get off. Okay. Which one are you doing? I'm off. You've given me the out. See you later, guys. Thanks for having me. The wheels are falling off.

Don't be a brat. Up, up. Get back. Tell him to get back me the out. See you later, guys. Thanks for having me. The wheels are falling off. Don't be a brat. Up, up. Get back. Tell him to get back in the chair. Trending alert. You're going to like this one because I reckon you were into this one. The statement necklace.

No. The statement necklace is back. Didn't you have like a shark tooth on a necklace once? Statement. A shark tooth on a necklace. I may have. I did some real douchebag things. I may have had a shark tooth on a necklace. That may have. I did some real douchebag things. I may have had a shark tooth on a necklace.

That's making a statement. Well, the statement necklace is back. This was like women did it all the time. You'd always find them at like La Visa and whatnot. Like big, plastic, chunky, cheap-looking necklaces are apparently making a return. Like a neck chandelier. Right.

Because shell necklaces have been back and we haven't been on board with that, have we? I know, I forgot to get us some when I went to Bali recently. I did think about it. Did you go to Bali? I went to Bali. I wish you'd said something. Oh, I know.

So I went to Bali recently. You've been quiet about that very unread, haven't you? I went to Bali. To be fair. It was lovely in Bali. And Hayley's feeling she hasn't raised it for at least two weeks until now. I haven't because I keep getting text messages being like, oh, have you been to Bali, have you?

All right. So why are these back? Are people wanting to show off the clavicle? The decolletage. Yeah. Yeah, well, apparently. I mean, because for a while, the fine jewellery, the very thin necklaces and the likes have been trending.

And now we're going back to Chunky Monkey. Can I say, the Chunky Monkey, good for me. A quick look, I can see what it is. When it's a fine necklace, I look and I squint and it looks like I'm looking at the boobies. Yeah, whereas you don't have to. You really see a statement. Yeah, yeah, statement necklace.

It's like, oh, I see big, ugly orange circles. Great. And that takes me like a split second. But when someone's got fine gold, I'm like, what's that on the end of their... Yeah, it does look pervy, doesn't it? And you get right up close. Yeah.

You almost nose to chest. Yeah. What is that? So not on board with this new trend. Not on board with this. And I just heard before, trending alert too, ballet slippers are coming back. Ballet flats. Which are like

women, we all had them, the worst shoes. Were they like, I remember when I was a kid, everyone had the kung fu shoes. They were the same thing. They were the male. Males didn't want to wear something called ballet slippers or whatever, so they called them kung fu shoes, which are effectively the same thing, just a very soft, palatable shoe.

Because they don't wear well, do they? They stink. No, and they make your feet stink. Because you don't wear socks with them. You just slip these shoes on. Disgusting. Well, we wanted to ask this morning on the back of the new trends here that we've highlighted, is there a trend that you can't get on board with?

Maybe a trend that's come back. I know lots of people can't do the baggy jeans again. No, or the low-rise jeans. Especially those that did them the first time around. They're like, no, not this time. Where does the muffin top go? Where does it go if you're wearing a low-rise jeans?

Yeah. Maybe all your friends are on board with this trend, whether it's fashion or beauty, and you just can't get on board with this trend, whether or not it's fashion or beauty, and you just can't get on board with it. We want to take your calls. 0800 DALS at M. You can text as well, 9696. What trend can you just never get on board with?

I worry about it right now. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Well, statement necklaces are back. The big, chunky necklaces are back. The big, chunky necklaces. Have you just tuned in and you're hearing Fletch get so excited about statement? Oh, you know I've been waiting for this trend to come back in. Hello, darlings.

You're never going to guess. Oh, I know. He's got a whole drawer of statement necklaces he's kept for the last 12 years. We want to know now. You can text in 9696 0800 Dials at M. What trends you just can't get on board with? Maybe they've come and gone and you're like,

no, I just cannot. Yeah, they're back and you're like, ooh, that's the ugliest thing ever. Melissa, what trend? Flares. They should have been left in the 70s. Yeah.

Oh, dude, I could go back to a flare. I could go back to a flare. It's so handy for going over 70s. Yeah. Oh, dude, I could ride. Vaughn loves a flare. I could go back to a flare. It's so handy for going over a boot. Yeah. The only problem with me with a flare is that I've got

quite thick thighs. Yeah, me too. The thigh does that and then the flare just kind of makes it look like a tube. Yeah,

it just doesn't work. It's not good, is it? No. You're not friendly on a thigh. I agree, though. Leave them in the 70s.

Like, they tried to come back around, what, the late 90s, 2000s? 2000s, yeah. Yeah, and now we're kind of, we're back on that baggy jean and flares thing again. Yeah. It's a no. All right, Melissa, thanks for your call. We'll get to more of your texting calls next. Imagine Dragons, on to them.

So, there's a new trend. It's returning. A statement necklace is back. The big, chunky, cheap plastic, crap-looking things that filled your drawers in the early 2000s. And they all got a wound all in each other. Yeah, they did, and they'd break and stuff. You had to get tweezers and put them in.

Anyway, they're back. So text 9696 0800 dials at M. What trends can you just not get on board with? You're just like, no, not this time or never. I just can't do it. There's a couple of low rise jeans. They've got to go. So these are the ones that sit lower on the hips.

I mean, they're skinny. The butt crack pops at the top. Skinny people. You've got to give your little downstairs a trim at the top. They're so low. Amy, what trend can you not get on board with? Mullets. Can't stand them.

Oh, no. No, I'm with you. I'm with you. Hayley's going to disagree with you on this because she loves a bogan with a mullet. But I've got a four-year-old and a six-year-old boy, and they're currently rocking them, and I just can't stand them. Well, their mother shaved their heads. I know, but I went into their hairdressers,

and they asked for them, and I didn't want to be that fuddy-duddy mother who said no, so I just smiled. My mum never let us pick our own haircuts as kids. No, she just didn't. There was absolutely no way my father was having a son with a rat's tail. No way.

And the worst thing is, I'm a primary school teacher, and every day a little boy comes in with a mullet. A mullet. Yeah. I think on an older gentleman, like a kind of a rock and roll, kind of shaggy mullet, it's a guy like, oh, I like it. Oh, you're talking an original, like, leather jacket mullet. Yeah.

That's been there since the 80s. I like it on a woman as well. You know, the women in white shag. It's very rural rugby club player, isn't it, Taffer? Very local Taffer. We are rural Southland,

so I have to embrace it. No, see, I'm going to go, I'm changing teams. Very cold, very cold back of the neck place. Yeah, true.

True, true. Summer's around the corner and you do get more sunlight hours down there over the summer. Do you know what, at least you're going to be able to look back at their childhood photos and laugh, you know, like we all did when we had rat's tails.

I didn't have a rat's tail. You had a rat's tail. I did. It was disgusting. I can't believe your mother allowed it. Amy, thank you so much for sharing. Sally, what's the trend that you just cannot get on board with? Bike pants.

Bike pants. But what about if you are a cyclist? Well, maybe for sporting reasons only, but bike pants are not flattering. Is it the outline? They're not flattering now. Outline of the genitals that you're not a fan of, Sally? Oh, yuck.

Well, that's particularly on women. All that camel toe. Oh, I know. It's a lot, isn't it? Also, are you more endowed in the thigh area as I am? Well, look, I couldn't wear bike pants then and I can't wear them now. No, I look like sort of bursting. I'm really thirsty.

You don't get into bike pants now. You know when you go, like, through a pot of Cheerios and some of them have burst? That's what my thighs look like in bike shorts. Jesus. Yuck. Right. Well, the ones that have such a stretching the Sav, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I was deathly against Birkenstocks, and then I tried on my friend's one, and now I've got two pairs.

So there you go. I know they do look great, don't they? And they are more comfortable once you've worn them in a little bit. You went team Birkies, didn't you, this summer? I did, yeah. I did go team, only because I found them at a very reasonable price. They can't be real leather.

I can't get on board with sanctimonious radio announcers. Neither can I, actually. That's why I'm a man of the people. I can't be real leather. I can't get on board with sanctimonious radio announcers. Neither can I, actually. That's why I'm a man of the people. I can't either. I really struggle with them. Right. What did you say to rile someone up? I don't know.

Just maybe because we're judging trends that we don't like. Oh, yeah, but we were judging a necklace trend. Yeah, but it was quite sanctimonious. That person's sitting here rocking an ugly statement necklace. Yeah, that person's got a drawer full of shit. I can't get into Crocs. To be honest, dude, it's so comfy.

Oh, yeah. Someone here ended up on the big Crocs money recently, didn't they? Well, yeah. And I got some giblets, those things you plug in the front. Yeah, good stuff. Pretty cool.

More bike pants, more talk of mullets. I seen a guy at the mall, so I can't get on board with people saying seen when they should have said saw. I saw a guy at the mall wearing a pearl necklace. I can't get on board. I know those, yeah, that's been a thing

because Harry Styles has been doing that for ages. What about high-rise tights with your stomach tucked in with a crop top? So you kind of It looks like This person's saying When I did it It looked like

Fat roll Exposed fat roll Runs again Covered fat roll Yeah yeah That's me It looks like a A licorice all sort

Bless you Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn And Hayley Hey you on the phone I bet I can guess Your mum's name Bless you. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hey, you on the phone, I bet I can guess your mum's name.

Hayley joins us this morning. Good morning, Hayley. Hi, how you doing? Good. I was like, dude, I've been here the whole morning. I knew that was going to throw you. Yeah, it really did. Now, Hayley, Vaughan is coming off a losing, bet I can guess

your mum's name. He's got it today. He's got it. Do you think so? Yeah, there she is. I do. I like when we work together because some people think

this is some sort of competition, but we're working together to get you $100. Yeah. Imagine it's us. We're working against executive producer Anna. That's who we're working against.

So I've given her actual, I actually said your actual name then. I usually get such a telling off because I say executive intern Anya. Yeah. I said executive producer Anna and you still pulled the fingers at me, but it's me. It's out of heaven. And Hayley, against you. It's on.

We want your money. Because Anna does like to pick a hard mum's name just to throw you from time to time. Yeah. Well, Hayley, Vaughan now has five questions to ask you about your mum, and then we'll have 15 seconds to guess her name. All right. Sounds good. Question number one.

What's mum's most used sauce? Good question. Most used sauce. Oh, I would go a mayonnaise or a tomato. Oh, okay. I don't know if I'd know my mum's most used sauce. What does she always put on the table? I can't remember.

What is she, a soy sauce? Is she a washi-sai sauce? She has all kinds. We've got so many condiments. You've got your teriyaki sauces. Oh, nobody's doing a teriyaki sauce on the table out of the bottle, are they? Your sweet chilli, sweet Thai chilli. You can go sweet chilli.

Mums wouldn't go Thai. Dad likes sweet chilli. Does he? Yeah. Shivers. Okay. Okay, so tomato or mayo? Yep.

They're very boomer neutral, aren't they? Those flavours. There's lawful neutral, Caterpillar neutral, and Boomer neutral. And Boomer neutral sauces are tomato and mayo. So you've got to go with your Boomer mutual names. Your Karens, your Christines. I mean, this is just that. You're just thinking about your mum.

She loves a bland flavour, doesn't she? Yeah. Nothing too spicy. Nothing too spicy. What did I offer her at the weekend? And she was like, whoa! S too spicy. What did I offer her at the weekend? And she was like, whoa! Sriracha? What did you offer her?

What was it even then? I think it was, oh no, August was putting white pepper on her eggs and mum was like, whoa! Like she was in the 1800s pulling on a wagon full of horses. Yeah. Whoa!

Oh my God, Julie. That's a white woman's name, isn't it? Okay, question two. What's mum's favourite TV show? Any sports. Oh! She loves her sports. We've got a sporty Susan. Sporty Susan.

Susan Devoy. Name for me some sportswomans. Valerie. Valerie. Okay, yep. Ruby. Beatrice. That's a throwback to Beatrice.

Farberwina. Farberwina. Yeah. The trailblazer. Beatrice. What did you say, Hayley? Ruby. Ruby.

For Ruby Toohey. Might be a bit young. Yeah. Ruby's like a bit more of an 80s, 90s name. Which I guess we could come to, and I want to change out that one. There's a real answer to this, isn't there? Do you know? Oh, yep, that's going to be my next question, actually,

because that was very funny what somebody said, a Palmerston North. What did somebody say? Oh, my God. Carol, a Joanne. Hey. Susie. Susie. I got Susan from Susan Devoy.

Oh, yeah, okay. Okay. Kath. Dame Kath Tizard. Famous sportswoman. Cath loves picking up the racket. Okay, so question three is, has your mum's name been mentioned in any songs?

Oh, I don't know. Because I'll give you the background to this. The guy we were talking to at Palmerston North, he was really interested in mum's name. I bet I can guess your mum's name. Really interested in how it works. He said to me, I just sing Lou Beggars' Mambo No. 5

every time. Because it's like a list of women's names. And you sing it, you get through it real quick. And he's like, he wrote it in a time where these women who are the mums now would have been. So I was like, that is one of the most ingenious approaches. To a better king gets your mum's name.

I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita. A little bit of Monica, Erica, Rita, Tina, Sandra, Mary, Jessica. And trumpets. And trumpets, yeah. And I think that's all the names because then he repeats those again I liked it and in honour of this

absolutely drunken suggestion I'm going to put it on board I mean there are how many names are there there's seven all up have you put have you put

Donna and Blitzen on there as well oh because that's a song isn't it yeah so okay Donna next question

I'm not going to do Donna, but I might do Nat. Did you get the answer from Hayley? Oh. What? Do you know of any? No, she said I don't know. Oh, she doesn't know. Yeah, I said I don't know.

Please pay attention, people. Sorry. They're working against us. Who is working against us? I'm not working against us It's the world The man It's the government, Hayley

It's the government They're working against us Alright, what's your mum's age? 75 75? Okay Is that going to rule out a lot of your younger names, isn't it? Your cooler younger names

Yeah, I think Brittany might be off there. It could be Elizabeth. Yeah, okay, so go for some classics. Hand me with some royals. Jeanette. Jeanette. Jeanette. Helen.

Mirren. Dame Judy Dench. Judy. I was going to say Judy for Judy Dench. Yeah. Marilyn. For Monroe Dench. Marilyn. For Monroe. Maggie.

Maggie. That's another old actress for the UA. Yeah, she's a great actress. She was a little bit too old for the seminar. But still, there would have been. Have you fallen down, Hayley, or have you wheeling the wheelie bit out to the road? Is it rubbish day?

Oh, I just moved my kids around, that's all. Yep, okay. That was actually very quiet for moving kids around. Yeah, it was. I would say well behaved. Nick, is that the last question? It's because they try to get me

to call every single time. Do they? Okay, well, you've finally done it. I hope Vaughan can do it for you. And final, it's a little bit of a classic. What kind of car

does mum drive? She's got a Mazda XC. Now tell me, is that on the list? Are we running out of time to talk about the list? No, we are going to go through the list of the most stolen cars in New Zealand soon, so make sure mum's listening soon because that could be on the list.

Yeah, a Mazda XC, that's the same sort of car as our Hayley. Yeah, which I drove your car the other day to reposition it. They're a great car. It's messy. It was very messy. Very messy. Yeah, which I drove your car the other day to reposition it. They're a great car. It's messy. It was very messy. Very messy. And damp smelling.

Yeah. I'm doing it on post-it notes this week. That's different. Hey. So here we go. Hold on, wait a minute. I've got to get it in order. Funky fun.

Okay, here we go. Also, those aren't post-it notes. Those are the cube papers. Oh, yeah. What are these called? Like office memo papers. Office memo papers. Alright, okay. 15 seconds. Hayley, if one yells out your mum's name, yell out, stop, that's my mum's name. Your time starts now. Karen, Christine,

Raewyn, Julie, Susan, Valerie, Beatrice, Ruby, Carol, Joanne, Kath, Donna, Angela, Pamela, Sandra, Monica. Stop. That's my mum's name., Donna, Angela, Pamela, Sandra, Monica. That's my mum's name. Which one? Pamela. Lubega, baby!

Lubega it was, yes! Yeah, a little bit of Monica in my life. Well, I couldn't say yes after you said the song. Yeah, because the song goes, I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra, and Rita, Monica, you know they're getting sweeter. So that listener in Palmerston North was right. Every mum's name is in member number five. And I'm in both.

So I've only 20 minutes from Palmer. So it works. Oh, my God. Wow, you are back. This all feels like more than circumstance, you know? Like Tingly Wingly Wednesday. Yeah, dude. Bonus round! While you're on the phone, I'll have

a go at guessing your dad's name. Well, Hayley, that $100 is locked in and safe. Lou. It's Lou because of Lou Vega. Something, Vaughn, that might help you is this just came through from the producers. Hayley is one of 11

siblings. Oh, wow. Holy mackerel. Pamela and who's like an absolute... George. George. Do you reckon he's a baby maker? Yeah, George would have been a 19.

George and Pam? George and Pam. No. At 75, you would have started baby making in like the 70s. Got to be something different, I reckon. Oh, yeah, what about a Nick after Nick Cannon? No, Nick's not a 70s. Unless it was Nicholas.

Her mum's 75. Yeah, but if dad was the same age, Phil. So he was born in the 40s then, late 40s. Post-war. Trevor. Absolutely, like baby boomer name. Yeah. Trevor, he's rural. Well, I assume they're Absolutely. Baby boomer name. Yeah. Trevor.

He's rural. Well, I assume they're rural. No one living in town had 11 kids. So after World War II. Yeah. Trevor. Winston. Winston Churchill. Because, you know, they loved him then, didn't they?

They loved him, yeah. They just won the war. God, I hope it's not Adolf. No, it wouldn't be Adolf. No, it wouldn't be. Of course it wouldn't be. Could just be something like Peter? George?

George really hit. Yeah, okay. It kind of fits that Beatles rule we have too, where dads are mostly named after the Beatles. George and Pamela. Mums are mostly named after member number five. Dads are named after the Beatles. Mums are named after songs and members.

Go for George. No, you're not feeling that? Peter. Peter? I don't think it's Peter. Peter and Pamela. Peter and Pamela, Picksford of Palmson. What, are you going to lock in George?

Yeah, I know, lock in George. What are you going to do? I don't know. What do you think I should do? You do whatever you, I don't know the name. I don't know. I haven't had a dad for a while. I haven't had a dad for a while. I haven't had a dad for a while.

When was the last time you guys had a dad? Peter. Peter. Yes. You were so set on George. George. Peter is an... I don't know.

Peter's old. It's got to be one of those two. It's Peter or George. I'm not sure that's how it works. I'm getting good vibes from either of them. Peter, George, George, George, George, George. Pamela, is your dad's name George? No.

Are you locking that in? Or are you going Peter or George? Well, now you're making me second guess. No, because I shouldn't second guess myself. What do you think, Hayley? What are you feeling, Hayley? Not listener Hayley. Oh, no, no, no. I don't have the power from my neighbourhood. I need to be in the studio. I can't. I can't. It's George.

No, I don't know. No, it's Peter. It's Peter and Pamela. Pittsburgh from Palmerston North. Okay. Hayley, what is your dad's name? Peter. Damn it, I really wanted George.

I heard George energy from that. Every time you said George, I was going, no, no, no, Peter, Peter. I really thought it was George. I was like, nah, because I thought Peter would be too. Pete and Pam. Get on your voice. Pete and Pam. Pete and Pam. Get on your voice. Pete and Pam. Pete and Pam.

All done up on this. But they're not siblings. They got married. You don't choose who you marry if your name starts with the same letter. I cannot believe you did that. That is insane. I really thought I was feeling George. Yeah, I was feeling George.

Is there any Georges in the family? No, but my husband is Nicholas. Oh, yeah, we said Nick Cannon. Yeah, I was feeling George. Is there any Georges in the family? No, but my husband is Nicholas. Oh, yeah, we said Nick Cannon. Yeah, Cannon. And you threw that out? Yeah. Pete and Pam. Pete and Pam.

Oh, Pete and Pam. Hayley, congratulations. $200. By the way, your name, I'll give you $300 if their surname's Picksford. No, it's Boraboom. I am so glad we weren't trying to guess last time. You never would have got that. Hey, congratulations, Hayley.

$200 yours. Thank you so much. You ain't nothing but a dog player. I get it. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Play ZM. The AA, AA Insurance have revealed which cars are most likely to be stolen.

And they've also, with this list that they bring out every year, have said that attempted thefts and car thefts have increased by 36.5% nationally. And in Auckland, 43%. So lock up your cars. It's terrible. People are locking up their cars. Regardless if it's Auckland or not lock up your cars. I mean, people are locking up their cars. Regardless if it's Auckland or not, lock your cars. Lock your cars. It blows my mind, though, the amount of people that leave stuff in their cars,

like on the back seat. Oh, my God. Or like change. Like, Hayley is so bad. So I got COVID and my car was at work and I needed to get it, but I couldn't go in, obviously. So we had a plan that Fletch was going to pick up my car and then ditch it on the side of the road and I'd go and find it.

But it needed to be on the side of the road for a couple of hours. And I was like, I can't leave all of this crap on a central Auckland street in broad daylight. So I was like, I'll put it all in the boot. There was so much crap in your car. I've been so busy. Also, there's the chilli bin in the back of my boot, and that's for you,

and it's been there for how many months? It takes up 0.3% space. Very little. Well, the list of the most stolen cars. Yep, here they are. Nissan Tita. I always thought that was a Tilda. You know what?

You know why? This car, there's three cars on the list that would be perfect for ram raids. Yeah, which sadly a lot of them have been used for. Because all they needed to do is to get through that door. Yeah. And the big cars are too wide, so they hit the supporting part, and the weak part of the door is in the middle where it's not, you know. So use a little nana car.

Yeah, blow it off its hinges if you hit it hard enough. These cars, I believe, are also easy to steal, like hot wire and chuck a screwdriver in the lock kind of deal. Yeah, and they fit in tiny spots when you need to hide them after you've stolen them. So the Nissan Tita, the Toyota Mark X, which I've had to look up because I'm not familiar with it, the Toyota Mark X was the renamed Toyota Corona.

Oh, okay. Apparently, yeah, when you see a photo of them, you'll be like, oh, yeah, those are everywhere. Oh, okay. Yeah, I mean, when you see a photo of them, you'll be like, oh yeah, those are everywhere. Apparently, right. Yeah, but for the last couple of years, they haven't been made. But it's still surprising me

that, you know, one of the most stolen. And they go forever. Don't they? They go forever. So if you're going to steal a car. I think they just keep going and going and going.

Just keep going. Lots of parts as well. Oh, parts. Easy to get parts. Easy to get parts. Get a car with plenty of parts. Next up, a car that's heavily represented at the show. It's a show favourite.

It's a show favourite, the Toyota Aquar. And we cross now to the producer's desk where two of the three people sitting there are Aquar drivers. Now, in the last year, have any of you experienced an Aquar break-in or theft? Twice. Tarwin has had both. Both on the menu. Didn't your aqua carween get completely stolen?

Yeah, potentially involved in a ram raid. Still unsure, though. Right. But you got a new one, but you've got an immobiliser. Yes, one of those. So they can break into it, but they can't steal it. Yeah, and it's keyless as well, so apparently those are harder to steal.

And I put one of those little steering wheel locks on. Oh, no. Oh, that's embarrassing for you, Han. It looks chic. What do you mean? It doesn't look chic. Safety is hot. Anna, have you had yours stolen or broken into?

No, but only because I'm too scared to drive it anywhere, like in the central city or anywhere slightly dodgy. Oh, okay. Hold your horses there, North Shore, calling everybody else. I'm dodgy. I just don't really leave over the bridge, so we don't have that problem on the shore. No, I just don't park it anywhere at night on the street.

I'm so scared. Fair call. All right, the other couple of cars on the short. No, I just don't like parking anywhere at night on the street. I'm so scared. Fair call. All right, the other couple of cars on the list. The Mazda Atenza. Now, do you have an Altenza or do you have an Al... What's the other one? Axela. Axela.

And yours has got Sky... What do you call it? And it's got Sky Active Technology. What is Sky Active Technology? What does that even mean? That is the technology where it turns itself off at the lights. Oh, I don't like cars that do that. I hate it.

I turn it off because it's like... Yeah. Because you just want that... I know it's not long, but it's a split second at the lights when it starts up again. You're like, no, no, no. No, that's not what skyactive technology is. Isn't it?

No. It just sounds like some marketing BS. Skyactive technology can compress the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders to an extraordinary degree. It sounds like marketing BS, doesn't it? Okay. Okay. I thought it was the auto stop.

Right. Turning off the lights. And, of course, last on the list. Well, not last numbers-wise. They haven't actually put these in any sort of numerical order. I think it's alphabetical. No, it's not because it's ending on M and we've been through T. Mazda Demio.

The Mazda Demio. It's a classic. The Mazda 2. The little green frog. It's a classic. Again, another car that would fit right through the front. I'm not saying to do it, but I know that there was a report of the increase in these sorts of sized cars.

Stop encouraging ram raids. I am. I'm anti-ram raid for the record. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is, and I can't believe it's taken me this long To find out this aspect of World War II

Which I enjoy That's the wrong word I find fascinating World War II I find fascinating God, I loved a World War I love a war that ended 40 years before I was Oh my God

You've been alive As far from my birthday My date of birth As World War birthday, my date of birth. As World War II. As my date of birth was from World War II. That's wild. I hate when this happens. I hate when this happens.

That's interesting though. I find World War II fascinating, every aspect of World War II. It's crazy that there are so many different theatres of war and so many different aspects of war. And that doesn't even cover the atrocities that happened. Yeah. But this is a very interesting part of World War II that I think could be made into its own.

Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks produced 12-part HBO series that is Band of Brothers and the Pacific adjacent. Aren't they doing another one? Aren't they doing another one? Yeah. I did hear some kind of rumours. There was talk of them doing a third in that series.

Because Band of Brothers is incredible. Classic. And the Pacific was different but it was still so fascinating. But this would be set in the Pacific Theatre of War because this is about

the United States Navy's Ice Cream Barge. Oh. Do go on. The Ice Cream Barge was a property of the United States Navy in the Pacific Theater of War in World War II.

And its primary purpose was to produce ice cream in large quantities to be provisioned to sailors and marines. It was able to create 10 gallons or 38 litres of ice cream every 7 minutes. Oh, wow. Approximately 1,900 litres of ice cream every seven minutes. Oh, wow.

Approximately 1,900 litres of ice cream per shift and could store 7,600 litres of ice cream. Why do they need that much ice cream? Well, there was a lot of them down there and it was very warm, so it would have melted quickly. So then I was like, what did they do with this ice cream? It was anchored and like supply ships would come and get it. But then like if every shift, it could be producing nearly 2,000 litres of ice cream

and its maximum capacity was just shy of 8,000. That's four shifts and it's full. So I will tell you about the USS Quartz, which was known as a crockery ship, which held because of what it was made of, which was a silicon quartz. It could hold its temperature better in the ocean. So they'd make it cold. They'd put ice in it.

They'd make it cold, and they'd use this as, they called it the crockery ship, as a contemporary of the ice cream barge, as a storage vessel. So your ship would go out. There was the ice cream barge, and right beside it was just this floating ice cream warehouse. That is wild. And you'd pick it up and take it back to your dudes. And like it was apparently when it arrived you

were waiting. Yeah. Like you didn't just get it. Oh maybe we'll get into that ice cream in a little bit. Like the minute that it came you were just like you were on it because it was so hot that the ice cream would melt. We've all been there dribbling down the hands. Totally. I mean they had other things to worry about certainly but primarily 100% just to boost morale

of what was a significantly worse theatre of war than anybody expected it to be. Yeah. Tropical, wet, disease-riddled, horrible theatre of war. And now, nowadays, you'd just airdrop some Mr. Whippy trucks out of the back of the Hercules. Yeah. Imagine that.

That'd boost morale. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yeah. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Ding. And they land. Ding, ding, ding. And they wouldn't even probably charge you for a flake.

No, they'd give you a free flake. Because everything would be free. I don't think they'd charge you for anything, would they? If they dropped you in specifically for it. Yeah. I'd go ham. I'd go to the bottom right-hand corner. When you were a kid and you were allowed to pick a Mr. Whoopie,

it was always top row, maybe second if you'd been good. But right down the bottom, there was that double-cone, chopped-dipped flake with sprinkles. Yeah, that was only rich people could have that. You'd be getting one of those in my box if you were fighting for your country in a theatre of war. So today's fact of the day is in World War II, the US Navy owned a massive ship.

Its primary purpose was to produce ice cream for the troops. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I have a drink bottle. Don't want to brag. I can carry water around. Stuff that would have been a brag 100 years ago. That's a good... Yeah. I don't want to brag, but I can turn on the lights at night.

It's a stainless steel... It's a vacuum deal, and if you put ice in it, the ice lasts for ages. Yeah. And if you put hot in it, the hot lasts for ages. Yeah. And if you put hot in it, the hot lasts longer. That's how vacuum thermal seal works. Bear in mind, this was a freebie given to us by the outdoor brand, Cathy Mandu. Cathy Mandu.

I love Cathy Mandu. It came with a strap on the lid that perished some time ago. I always just carry it around. It's always like a bit dirty and stuff because I'm always doing it, taking it with me when I do the chores. It fell off the quad bike and I didn't notice at the weekend and I was driving the quad bike

and it went under the wheel and I ran it over and it's got this big dent in it now. And it still works. It still works fine, I think. I can't, there is one part in the middle of the dent that gets really cold to the touch, but I feel it's just because it's dented in

so it's touching more water. The thermal bits. Yeah. Perhaps there's a slight. The line. I think you've pushed the lining together. Yes. I don't know if that's maybe going to work now.

Which is probably not going to work as well. But, God, the heat I'm getting around here. Get a new drink bottle. Get a new drink bottle. What does this one look like? It just looks so rubbish. Yeah, but then it's a great, like, what have you in your drink bottle? I've got a story to tell.

I ran over it. Get a new one. It's Haki. Oh, no, it's Haki. Get a new one. Still good. Still good, even though it's been run over. And that's what I would like to talk about now.

Right. What have you run over, but it's still okay? Oh, I do. Are we including children? No. Absolutely not. No. Animals? Because sometimes, you know, you hit something and you're like, oh my

God, and you stop. And then you just look back and it's just like, oh, you know, I'm a sweet man. You're just stunned. Whoa. But it always amazes me when someone run over a phone and it still works. Whereas once I dropped my phone, it fell out of my pocket at Eden Park, like literally a foot and then shattered. Yeah.

It's all where it lands, right? It's text style weak points or something. It's a weak point. I should have gone with that confidently. I would have put it on let me go again. It's all where it hits when it falls, right? It's like it's text style weak points. It's text style weak points. Ten so. One more time.

One more time. It's all where it falls, right? What hits the ground affects it. It's textile weak points. What is tensile weak? Tensile. One more time. One more time. It's all where it falls right. What has the ground affects it. It's tensile weak points. Tensile weak points. I don't think that's a thing, Vaughan. Tensile strength? Tensile strength, yeah.

But of course, if there's tensile strength, that indicates there's tensile weak points. Tensile strength is a measure of a force required to pull something such as rope, wire or a structural beam to the point where it breaks. Yeah, so tensile weakness would be the point where your phone hits the ground on the corner and it just... I don't know if that's a thing. It blows out. Laptops. Anything when you're moving.

When you're moving and you're like, there's no room for that here. I'll just put that there. And then you load it up and then you're like, done. And you drive away and run over something. All right, well, 0800DARLS at M. We want to take your calls now. You can text in as well. 9696, what did you run over but it still works?

Maybe it's a bit dented like Vaughan's drink bottle or the cat still works. Vaughan's run over his drink bottle. We're giving him grief about it because it's gone. He needs a new one. It does look bad. We do want to know now though what you've run over that still works.

Michaela, what did you run over that still works? Did you say Michaela? I did, Michaela. Yes, good morning. What did you run over that still works? Well, I ran over my daughter's cat which still works. Oh my god. Did you just hit a tail or something?

No, so middle of summer, the cats obviously sleep wherever the shade is. Stupid spot like under a family-sized Mazda Primacy. Oh yeah. I took off backwards down the driveway and I felt this bump and I looked in my rear view mirror and saw this flash of black and white. So I knew straight away what I'd done.

No. So we jump out the car, the cat takes off, we spend a good half hour trying to find it, grab it, throw it in the car, ring the vet,

it's Sunday, nothing's open, it's the emergency vet. They x-ray the cat, they keep it in overnight, turns out, no injuries at all because it was so morbidly obese.

The car bounced off of it. It's that you don't hear about when obesity saves lives. You know what, take that, vet. Yeah. what? Take that, Vick. Yeah. Wow. Oh, that's incredible.

Wow. Thank God. Michaela, brilliant. Thank you. Vaughan's run over his drink bottle and he's still using it. Much to our disgust. We are talking this morning about the things that you've run over that still work.

Debbie joins us. Debbie, you ran over your phone. Yes, I did. And is it the one that you're calling us from now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, how? That doesn't make sense. Like, how can you? I dropped my phone off the couch onto carpet once

and it shattered. Yeah. Well, how can you... I dropped my phone off the couch onto carpet once, and it shattered. Yeah. Yeah, well, the screen did break. Right, but everything else was fine. Yeah, it was costly, though. I see you've had it fixed, Debbie. It's not still broken. You'd be cutting the side of your face if it is.

Yeah, you'd have some shards in your cheeks. Thanks, you're cool, Debbie. William, what did you run over and it still works? It wasn't me. It was my mum, because she was a short wee lady and had a big truck growing up, and she used to drive. And my dog, Spud, he used to love to chase and try and eat the tyres. Spud wasn't so smart. Yeah.

So he got run over probably half a dozen times, if not more, and he ended up having three legs. Still love to do it. And his final one, he was about 13 at the time, he was trying to get the tractor tyres, and he went under the tyre, and we told my dad, stop, and he parked right on top of him. Oh!

So, yeah. I guess Spud became a mashed potato. Show, but he didn't die. He was still alive, yeah. I guess Spud became a mashed potato. I hope he didn't die. He was still alive, though. He was still alive after that. But we ended up putting him down. So we wasn't. Now, hold on.

I'll ask you, William. The phone-in conversation was, what did you run over that still works fine? Now, that doesn't sound like it works fine. Well, not eventually. He did. All the other times before that, he worked fine. He worked fine, yeah. So typically the tyre ended up being his

demise. William, thanks. You called some messages in. Oh, goodness me. Someone said AirPods. Not in their case. I dropped them. Gravel driveway. I ran over them. Then it rained all night. Then I ran over them in the morning. I got home. I found them sunken in the muddy driveway. Dried them out.

Worked perfect. I would have sent them to Apple and been like, I don't know what's happening here. They're broken. They're full of gravel. Oh got home. I found them sunken in the muddy driveway, dried them out, worked perfect. I would have sent them to Apple and been like, I don't know what's happening here. They're broken. They're full of gravel. Oh my God, I just took these

out of my handbag and for some reason they don't work. What's the deal? Someone said, my mother-in-law ran over her own arm. She was leaning

out the open car door to reach the grab the newspaper. This is a classic rural trick where they just chuck your newspaper on the side of the road.

What are rural people in such a rush for? Yeah, what have they got to do? Just stop the car. This is a classic rural trick where they just chuck your newspaper on the side of the road. What are rural people in such a rush for? Yeah, what have they got to do? Just stop the car. They've got everything. They've got a list that never ends. In a rush to

smell the fresh air. Yeah, in a rush to pat the cows. They've got to calm down. They fly out the driveway. They reach out. Anyway, she reached out and lost her balance

and fell out of the car. It was still in drive and her foot had been on the brake but the minute she fell out the foot was no longer on the brake and it ran her over. She ran herself over

and then her car crashed into a hedge. Good lord. Lots of, lots of, lots of animal stories. My friend accidentally ran over his wife and apparently, I've just asked him

and she still works fine. She still works fine. Oh good. Good to know she still works. She still works fine. How long would you be paying that off for? You'd be in debt for a while. Remember that time you ran me over?

And take the bins out. Forever. I got a red G-Shock watch, and everyone kept saying, these are all torque. There's no way they can survive it. So I drove over it with my horse truck on purpose. That's a big truck. Yeah, yeah.

With or without stallions and mares on. That's a big truck. Annoyingly, it was without stallions and mares on, that's a big truck. Annoyingly, it was on a shingle surface and scratched some of the red off. But other than that, absolutely worked perfectly. Wow. Still use it to this very day. Somebody said, we were moving house and I thought my adult fun toy needed to ride up front with me. As you do.

I put it on the roof of the car. It fell off. I ran over it. And then as I looked back. I put it on the roof of the car. It fell off. I ran over it. And then as I looked back, I saw it was there. I went up. I decided what I was going to do. I picked the gravel off. No, you didn't.

Picked the gravel off and cleaned it. And I can say the gravel has added a really unpredictable texture. Their words, not mine. It must have been a sturdy fella. It must have been a sturdy fella. It must have been a sturdy fella. Yeah, one of those

ones you plug into the mains. I'd say so. Yes, yeah, yeah. They don't make them what they used to. They don't make them

what they used to. Bloody hell. Well, congratulations to you, podcast listeners, you've reached the end. So, I would assume
