Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Enjoy the... Try the refreshing McCafe iced coffee available now at Macca's. Yes, here we go. I screwed up my sheet of paper that tells me that. I mean, you say every day, you think it'll be embedded. I have said it for the last literally six months, and I can't, it doesn't stick.
Starting point is 00:00:27 It doesn't stick. Because I don't retain information I don't need out of work. Oh, wow. No, I hold on to everything. Right. Yeah. That's probably the root of your anxiety. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:42 I'm working on it. I've got a ferret problem, or a stoat problem, or a weasel problem. It's not a weasel, it's a sto've got a ferret problem Or a stoat problem Or a weasel problem It's not a weasel It's a stoat or a ferret It looks too big to be a stoat Because I know stoats are small With long tails and a tip on the end
Starting point is 00:00:52 You sent this to the group chat This photo of outside your house A stoaty ferret thing There's a ferret Is this on your to-do list today? I need to buy a ferret trap And apparently you bait a ferret trap With rabbit meat
Starting point is 00:01:03 Which I do not have There are rabbits There are rabbits So maybe the ferret trap. And apparently you bait a ferret trap with rabbit meat, which I do not have. They feel too close. There are rabbits, so maybe the ferret would do it. Maybe I leave the ferret for a while, let the ferret take out the rabbits, then take out the ferret. I didn't even know we had ferrets in New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Ferrets were pets. They became illegal to breed. But is it more stoats? Stoats are the littler bastards. I know when you go hiking in like a national park, you see all these little like long wooden boxes. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And they have like a metal thing with an egg in it. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:01:32 And that gets them in. What about an egg? Use an egg. In my rat trap, I've got an egg as the bait. I've got this, I bought this rat trap. It's called a Dock 150, I think. Right. And it's what the Dock use, except they use a wooden, you've seen them, the long wooden
Starting point is 00:01:46 tracks. This one's got its own plastic housing. Ooh. And it'll fucking blow the eye out of a rat. Jesus Christ. Would your cat get in that, though? No. You don't want your cat going in there.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Well, the cat can't get in that one. Okay. It's too small. Oh, that's good. And plus, it's not interested in an egg. Yeah. But if you use rabbit meat, the cat will be interested. Yeah. God, that use rabbit meat, the cat will be interested. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:07 God, that's, yeah, wow. What a conundrum. It's more like a ferret. The photo I saw looked more like a ferret. People that have those as pets are weird, eh? Ferret and stoat people? My old flatmate had one that was worse. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:19 I went to high school with a girl who was American, and she had a ferret, but it was at home in America. Maybe that's why I thought we just didn't have them here right as a pet oh they're horrendous they're like an elongated rat so they were originally brought to new zealand to hunt the rabbits that were brought to new zealand to give the people something to hunt because the rabbit population exploded so they're like oh we'll bring some Stoats and some ferrets And they can hunt these rabbits Because they're pretty Ferocious little bastards
Starting point is 00:02:46 But then of course Classic Early Colonizers Fighting fire with fire And the whole world's on fire Yeah I was the same with gorse
Starting point is 00:02:57 What a wonderful hedging That would be In cold That's everywhere Hard to grow things in England And then it got to New Zealand And it was like We love it here Now they're going to be Bringing in snakes. And then it got to New Zealand and it was like, we love it here.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Now they're going to be bringing in snakes to deal with the ferrets. The ferrets. And then the snakes will become the problem. No, I like to think we've learnt. Surely we're not bringing in snakes. But those genetically engineered mosquitoes, they're going to release in that swamp in America. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:19 I don't know, guys. It feels like the beginning of a movie script. Yeah, it really does. It takes blood from something with COVID and it's genetically engineered and zombie mosquitoes. Oh, dear. So it doesn't even need to be a zombie that bites you. It can be a mosquito that bites you and then you get the zombie virus.
Starting point is 00:03:37 This is why you need to build your underground bunker ASAP. Well, maybe I'll get the ferret to build it. Dig it out before I kill the ferret. Yeah, that's what they do, they ferret. But then I'd feel bad. He helped me build my underground bunker. What am I, just turning my back get the ferret to build it. Dig it out before I kill the ferret. Yeah, that's what they do. They ferret. But then I'd feel bad. He helped me build my underground bunker. What am I, just turning my back on my ferret friend?
Starting point is 00:03:50 No, he's not my friend. For the greater good of New Zealand, you have to. I'm going to fucking kill this ferret. I'm very, very angry. Well, they're a pest. They're a pest? Yeah, well, they eat kiwis, don't they? Well, I've got, you know, at the weekend, the kereru were making themselves at home in the cabbage tree
Starting point is 00:04:04 because they eat, this time of the year year they eat the cabbage tree shoots and stuff. I'll have a kereru every day compared to a little fuckity ferret. Fuckity little ferret. Fuckity little slippery little bastard. Cool kereru and a fuckity ferret. Yeah, kill them, keep the tui. Yeah. Got a couple of magpies moved in too.
Starting point is 00:04:22 They've come from nowhere. Thoughts on shooting them? Yeah, we've got them too. We've got them too But they're an Australian bird As soon as they dive On any of our humans Yeah
Starting point is 00:04:31 Or if I see them Picking on any other birds They'll be shot I don't want to come across Cruel here on the show But I am trying to protect Our native species It sounds at home
Starting point is 00:04:39 You're going to be loading up And heading out Yeah Having a good old hunt A few different guns Traps the whole lot I'll make you a ferret. You know I love my taxidermy.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Oh, but not a ferret. But these traps, there's just not a lot left of the skull. No. Needle and stitch, you'll be all right. I'll make you a bit of polystyrene ferret. Get a little polystyrene ferret. Thanks, Lee. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Thanks, Lee. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Barcelona. Barcelona. Barcelona. I wonder what kind of state Sagrada Familia is in at this point. My man has lost his gas motor. Forever. Yeah, constant state.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Well, that's sad. We've lost the America's Cup. But we're still hosting it. But just there. Right. We're still defending it, but just there. Like, we're still defending it, but in Barcelona. It's like when you host a hens do, but you borrow someone else's nicer house.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Yeah, that is right. Or windier house in this instance. Yeah, maybe. We didn't have enough wind last time. I don't know if I can be mad at that. It's so lovely over there. Not that I'd ever go for sailing. I was like, what, are you planning on going?
Starting point is 00:05:48 I didn't realise you were so passionate about sailing. I've never been. I'd love to, though, for the tapas. You haven't been to Barcelona? Oh, the tapas. And the Estrella. You know that beer? Oh, Estrella.
Starting point is 00:05:58 It's got Barcelona written on it, I assume. Red with the yellow star on it. I remember the first time I had it, I was like, this is delicious. It's so cultured I know You've pretty much been I know I feel like I have Yeah
Starting point is 00:06:10 Oh you sound so nice I'd eat it all too I'd eat it I'd eat everything Oh they go Yeah they can get pretty squid heavy I'm not like Yeah they can
Starting point is 00:06:19 I've gone off squids And cephalopods Octopuses After seeing my octopus I haven't seen it I haven't watched that Because I think it'd be too much. I listened to a podcast about them, a couple of podcasts about them,
Starting point is 00:06:28 and I can't eat them anymore. Heavy in the podcast market, are they? Squid podcasts? Squid, octopus. Well, they're fascinating creatures. They're fascinating creatures, so they make great podcast fodder. You should watch the doco. Yeah, I don't know if I'll cry.
Starting point is 00:06:42 That guy's weird, though, eh? Oh, he's a... He hung out with an octopus for a year. What do you reckon? Yeah. An octopus is his best friend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:50 What do you reckon? All right, coming up on the show, Secret Sound. Coming up at 7 and 8 this morning, your chances to get your hands on that $50,000 cash.
Starting point is 00:06:59 The guesses that we had yesterday, all the clues on our Instagram account, ZMSecretSound. Going to give you a chance before 7 as well to win yourself a $500 Rosene voucher. It's got a guess, the colour, on the Rosene colour chart.
Starting point is 00:07:12 You were all over this at the moment. I went to Rosene's yesterday. Did you see on my... Rosene. Oh, you said Rosene's. I always say I went to Rosene's. Went to the Rosene's. No. I went to Rosene's. It's like saying I went to Pack and S. Went to the Razine's. No.
Starting point is 00:07:25 I went to Razine's. It's like saying I went to Pack and Save's. Yeah, that's what I say. I went to Pack and Save's place. I went to Razine's yesterday. They got 10 test pots, and you should see the state of our lounge. It looks like a patchwork quilt. All right, well.
Starting point is 00:07:39 That's what you could do, though. That could be your look. We're doing sort of like just anything goes. Cool, cool. Alright, we'll chance to win that $500 Rosene voucher soon on the show.
Starting point is 00:07:49 But next. Oh, I've got a very interesting little study here for you that talks about the correlation between your finger length and something else.
Starting point is 00:07:59 You've got, you've got, oh no you don't. From where I was standing, you look like you had really petite little hands. But they're a little sizable. Scott. What are you, you don't. From where I was standing, you looked like you had really petite little hands. But they're a little bit sizable.
Starting point is 00:08:08 You've got big, chunky fingers. Vaughan's got chunky fingers. I wish I did have the hands of my forefathers. My grandad's both had those paddle bat hands, like massive, fat sausage fingers. It was like where we met the boxer Junior Fah a couple of weeks back, and he gave us a handshake, and your hand just went like, where is it?
Starting point is 00:08:27 Your hands have just evolved to operate a PlayStation controller, basically. That's what the thumbs do. Look at his thumbs. So what about our fingers? Well, it can tell you something. Something that I didn't know that it could tell us. Okay. Here's a bit of wild science for your... That's my favourite branch of science.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Wild science. You've got your marine biology. Yeah. You've got your human sciences. I like wild science. Is this the kind of wild science your auntie reposts on Facebook? Yeah. Regarding a pandemic?
Starting point is 00:09:04 Yeah. Cool, cool, cool. This is the kind of wild science, likeie reposts on Facebook? Yeah. Regarding a pandemic? Yeah. Cool, cool, cool. This is the kind of wild science, like you'll hear this now from me and then you'll recite it at the pub like it's like fact. Like it is it is you're so smart that you know
Starting point is 00:09:18 this. Yeah. I love when someone tells you something and it's not until you are hearing the words come out of your mouth to someone else, you realise it's bullshit. I think that is the mark of a wonderful storyteller. If they tell it to you and it's rattling around in your brain, you're like, I'm on board.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And then it's not until you hear yourself saying it that you're like, absolutely being led up the garden path on this. Oh yeah, for sure. But you have to sort of like... If only everybody had that filter. If only everybody could recognise. Well, listen to me. I've got this wild, for sure. But you have to sort of like... If only everybody had that filter. If only everybody could recognise. Well, listen to me. I've got this wild science for you.
Starting point is 00:09:48 So they say you can tell a lot by your hands, you know? I don't mean palm reading. Well, it's the length from your thumb to the top of that. Yeah, the length from your thumb to the top of your index finger. I wish. It's supposed to be your willy length. No, you can't do a shuckers. That's woo.
Starting point is 00:10:06 No, no, it's this. Yeah, that's out of control. Like an L. Yep. I'm a big boy. That's not true. You've got big hands. Well, it's not only the length of your index finger that's of interest here.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Your ring finger, your fourth finger. Well, I guess they call it your fourth or maybe a third finger that one the one next to the pinky yeah inside of the pinky well hopefully there's not a finger on the outside of the pinky it should be the last one yeah your second pinky one two three four five six you're like one of those cats there's polyhedral cats yeah well this uh that ring finger can tell you uh well, according to this wild science, how much you may suffer from the effects of COVID-19. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:51 And scientists believe this is because that finger is often an indication of testosterone levels. So a longer fourth finger, a longer ring finger, can mean that you have higher levels of testosterone. But is that good against COVID? That's why I'm rocking somewhat of a beard most of the year round. That's a long finger. Well, you should never have taken up the piano as a child. I know. Your fingers just keep growing.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Do I have a long one? Yeah, very long. Oh, okay. Yeah. Wait, so wait. According to this wild magic that you're speaking of. So science. Wild science, a.k.a. magic.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Science. Is more testosterone better or worse for fighting COVID? Better for fighting COVID. So long finger, better for fighting COVID. They said, and I'm quoting the study here, if you have short little feminized fingers. Oh, dainty little lady hands. You are more at risk at suffering more
Starting point is 00:11:48 severe symptoms from COVID-19 and therefore higher risk of being hospitalized. And that's because your testosterone levels could be lower, your sex hormones could be lower. And they've made a correlation between low testosterone and
Starting point is 00:12:03 COVID symptoms. And it showed that people, like especially in elderly men, have more of a, you know, like COVID impacts them more because of their low testosterone levels. So if your testosterone levels as a man or a woman are quite low, you're more susceptible to being hospitalised with COVID-19. Wild science. Maybe not. Wild magic.
Starting point is 00:12:28 You're not man enough to face the virus or something. That part of the science, I'm not so sure. But now they're looking into this to go, could testosterone boosters that people can take help fight against COVID-19? Oh, God, what if we all had to get a tight testosterone boost? I think there's too much testosterone of anything in the world at the moment. If everyone had a big beard, they'd be bald.
Starting point is 00:12:52 They'd be invading the Ukraine. Yeah, they'd be punching, you know. Chris Rock. Yeah, Chris Rock in the face. We don't need more testosterone, we need less. We definitely don't, but it might help COVID-19 symptoms. All right, next on the show, big news for those in the Lower North Island and just those that love infrastructure.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Oh, civil engineering. Oh, civil engineering. You're infrastructure nerds here. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Well, finally, finally. F-ing finally. After years and years and years, Transmission Gully today will be officially opened
Starting point is 00:13:29 with a ribbon ceremony and a blessing by the Prime Minister. Oh. And tomorrow, Thursday, the general public will be able to drive on this new 27K stretch of State Highway 1, which will, just by portididoa, join, go inland, and join State Highway 1, Paekakariki. Wow. And, I mean, you're a Wellingtonian. I've driven past it so many
Starting point is 00:13:55 times. I'm excited. But you've been, they've been waiting for, we've been waiting for Eva, because when did this, it's been talked about since like World War I or something. Yeah, I believe it was World War I that they started building. Did you say that Jacinda's doing the blessing? Or she's doing the ribbon cutting? I think she's doing the ribbon cutting. I was like, that doesn't feel right.
Starting point is 00:14:15 No. I don't know if Jacinda should be doing the blessing of the road. I don't know if she can make it because Clark's on home detention. Yeah, but he's been sneaking out. He's been sneaking out. Here's what I knew. He put the home detention bracelet on Nev and left her home alone. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Because they've got similar DNA. Corrections wouldn't even know that's on a baby. She's got a big fat ankle for a three-year-old. Yeah. I've always known that about Nev. She's got big, big legs. Like big, big ankle. She's got a big ankle.
Starting point is 00:14:46 People are going to be frothing about this. So you're right. It was first proposed in, excuse me, 103 years ago in 1919. Oh my God. Isn't that wild? Yeah. And finally now it's open. It's $400 million over budget. It's
Starting point is 00:15:05 cost $1.25 billion. What? I know. For a road. And apparently in winter it's going to be susceptible to fog and snow and ice. Snow? Oh, great. Ice. It goes quite up into the hills.
Starting point is 00:15:21 I've seen the flyovers. I'd love to go for a burn on this. I'd love to go for a burn on this. I'd love to go for a hoon. Love to. And do you know what I'm excited about? Is this will be open for our next long weekend group too. Pre-Easter. But the traffic will be flowing.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Like, it's not going to be. That's the point. I preferred State Highway 1 because it got real blocked up on us. Yeah, right. It was a real piece of shit. Yeah. If you'll excuse my language, State Highway 1, right. It was a real piece of shit. Yeah. If you'll excuse my language, stand high, everyone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:48 It was a real piece of junk, a real terribly designed road. Yeah. And that led to more tutability because of more nose and tail traffic. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's an option, isn't it? What did you say the budget was? So in 2009, Minister of Transport Stephen Dildo Head Joyce announced the... Did you think his name was actually Stephen Dildo?
Starting point is 00:16:13 I don't know who Stephen Dildo is, but that is so unfortunate. Terrible family name. I would have changed it. Announced the government's commitment to the project as one of seven national roads of significance with a predicted project cost of $1.025 billion. Oh, well this is $1.25.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Okay, so $200 million over? That's a lot of money. Well, they're saying $400 over, so I don't know. Maybe more. How long did you say it is? 27 kilometres? Yeah. And it looks good. Double lanes, they're all like, they've got those things in the middle that,
Starting point is 00:16:47 Barriers. Barriers, but the tight strings cables. Yeah, yeah, yeah. High tensile cables. Which I've seen someone smash into and it's, It'll stop a car, but it'll cut a motorcyclist in half.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Yeah. Absolutely. That's what every time I see one where, you know, the Waikato Expressway that goes from like the top end of Tarapa Strait around the Huntley Bypass and rejoins at Ohinluwai. Every time I drive down there, there's always like 10 or so sections of just like eight of those posts knocked out. I'm like, who hit that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Like they must have been at 110 kilometres an hour and just absolutely into those high tensile cables. Imagine the sound it would make on your car. Oh, yeah, that's terrible. Well, Wellingtonians, those in the lower North Island, the Carpenter Coast, tomorrow, Transmission Gully. They're not having one of those days where you can cycle in. Oh, Vaughan, I think the time's gone. People just want this open.
Starting point is 00:17:42 You've missed it. Yeah. Those are always good days. Coming up next, Kim Kardashian has made an apology. Exciting news this morning. Joining us on the show, it'll be via Zoom after 8.30,
Starting point is 00:17:57 Oscar Isaac, the one and only, the beautiful man himself. Oh my God. This Guatemalan Cuban man is just gorgeous. He's my man crush. He's your man crush. Hard man himself. Oh, my God. This Guatemalan Cuban man is just gorgeous. He's my man crush. He's your man crush. Hard man crush.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Your wife told you off for going on about him. Beard. With, without, long, short. He looks great. Either way, shaved head. He looks great with a shaved head, but he can grow the thickest head of hair you can imagine. Star Wars. He's been in Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:18:22 He's been in the Addams Family animated. He was the voice of Gomez Addams. He's mentioned before that he kind of has like a Cliff Curtis thing where he can play any ethnicity. People are saying, where are you from? And in a brand new show. Moon Knight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Oh, God, I'm looking forward to this. Yeah, yeah, it's on Disney Plus today. Yeah, so he's on the show with us after 8.30 this morning. So Kim Kardashian has made an apology. You may remember this viral clip where she just told people to get out of bed and work. Get your f***ing ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days. That's so true.
Starting point is 00:18:58 You have to surround yourself with people that want to work. Have a good work environment where everyone loves what they do because you have one life no toxic work environments and show up and do the work so shut up Courtney in the background too no one wants to work that's the right that's the right that's the part where she had a job a 95 so obviously like I understand where she was coming from but everyone was like Kim this is so tone deaf. Because, of course, last year, 2021, Kim was officially declared a billionaire. She's obviously a very successful businesswoman, but she's obviously had a big boost, like a big start in life
Starting point is 00:19:37 and a lot of money behind her in order to create a business such as her own. Coming from a rich family. Yeah, she started. But then also rich family. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She started. But then also, like, people were pointing out, you know, the sex tape thing kind of also helped. Yeah. Boost the profile.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Absolutely. And like you say, I mean, she was sort of handed a reality show. Yeah. Without that show, none of her businesses would be nearly as successful. They're great businesses and she runs them very well, but people were like, it's so... She had an advertising campaign that money couldn't buy. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:20:09 It's so ignorant to not acknowledge what she's had as a starter that other people wanting to start businesses don't have. And did you see the Oscars? The three hosts played a joke where Dame Judi Dench didn't win her Oscar and then they said, Judi, we've got a gift for you. It's a quote from Kim Kardashian. Work harder. Yeah, yeah. Gotta get up and work.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Yeah, you gotta get up and work, Dame Judi Dench. To be fair, I don't know if Dame Judi Dench knew the context or what was going on. Yeah, I don't think Judi Dench knows who Kim Kardashian is. But anyway, Kim has apologized. And it wasn't a blanket statement towards women
Starting point is 00:20:48 or to feel like I don't respect the work or think that they don't work hard. I know that they do. That was taken out of context. So it's kind of an apology because obviously the original statement caused so much drama. But I think she's still missing the point of why people were, she's
Starting point is 00:21:08 like, I didn't say that people don't work. But she needed to acknowledge I am rich and that's why having a successful business is easier. But anyway, she's made an apology. I like Kim Kardashian. Takes a big person to apologise. Yeah, it does.
Starting point is 00:21:24 She's famously quite petite. I've seen her. I've seen her at the airport. Have a big person to apologise. Yeah, it does. She's famously quite petite. I've seen her. I've seen her at the airport. Have you? At LAX. I saw her in Kanye. And then they got in a little golf buggy. I don't know what it is about.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Like, she's someone that I sort of, in my head, don't believe is a real person. She's so famous. She's a construct. She's an idea, like a cartoon. It was bizarre. Everyone was just going nuts. Imagine if I stood next to her. She's very short. Oh, you're way taller
Starting point is 00:21:52 than her. I would look hilarious. We're on different planets. Anyway, good on you, Kim. Having a go at an apology. From the panoramic ZM think tank, this is the top six. One From the Panoramic ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. One person won $28 million.
Starting point is 00:22:11 They're an Auckland grandmother. Unbelievable. Did you guys have that conversation this last week? What would you do? I have it all the time. I have it every time. It was bought from Megstar in Henderson. What's Megstar?
Starting point is 00:22:26 Is that like a dairy? It's a dairy, yeah. Like a superette. Megstar, no, it's in the mall. Oh, yep. It's a magazine. Okay. Post shop, little kiosky.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Wasn't this, I think this was like the third or second biggest lotto prize ever. Biggest win. Yeah. Jesus. Nuts. So one West Auckland grandmother and that's the only description
Starting point is 00:22:53 we have has won that. So I've got the top six signs your nan won the lottery. I hope she holds on until she's like 112 and the whole family's like, give it up, give it up.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Number six on the list of the top six signs your West Auckland grandma won the lottery. She's put some of those mega loud siren speakers on her Daihatsu charade. And now she's the siren queen. And she bumps it to Credence Clearwater Revival. Oh, yeah. Nice. Yeah, that's how she gets in there and drowns out the siren. Do, do, do, looking out my back door.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. You hear it coming from a mile off. Those effing sirens. Yeah. How are they illegal? Have you seen them, like, started petitions because they want to be taken seriously as, like, a hobby group? As, like... No.
Starting point is 00:23:44 No. No. Guys. Oh, no. They want to save space, guys.? As like... No. No. No. Guys. Oh, no. They want a safe space, guys. It's like, no. No. Go and die somewhere.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Go and die somewhere. Oh, sorry, guys. Jesus Christ. I just haven't had a lot of sleep because of sirens. Siren kicks. Yeah, wolves are... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Have a nap in the corner, I reckon. Number five. There's no sirens here. You're in safe place. Thanks, guys. Thanks. Number five on the list of the top six signs your nan won the lottery, her Werther's original jar is full.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Oh, yeah. She bought more than one packet. It's not just she pulls them out of the bag into the jar and only sort of one third fills it. Yeah. She's bought three or four bags of Werther's. You don't reckon she's switching to some kind of fancy British chocolate of sorts? Oh, maybe. No, no, no. She's found her favourite. She loves a Werther's. You don't reckon she's switching to some kind of fancy British chocolate of sorts? Oh, maybe.
Starting point is 00:24:26 No, no, no. She's found her favourite. She loves a Werther's. Why not? Number four on the list of the top six signs your West Auckland nan won the $28 million lottery.
Starting point is 00:24:35 She just got a brand new 32-inch television. Oh! Don't go too big. I don't want them too big. No. The thing is, the bigger ones, they use more power.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Yeah. That's just maths. Because your parents brought a new TV at Christmas and they didn't go big, did they? We bought them a TV for Christmas. We all chipped in. But they didn't want a huge one. They didn't want like a really massive one. Oh. We were just like.
Starting point is 00:25:00 It means their eyesight's still good. You know what? They don't want that monstrosity taking up too much of the corner of the lounge. And the corner of the lounge they've got is only so big. That's the other thing. If you've got a TV in a corner, you're somewhat limited. Bit of Pythagoras there to work out the absolute maximum of your TV space.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Number three on the list of the top six signs your West Auckland nan won the lottery. She's put away the bell tea and she now drinks exclusively Dilma's. Oh la la. She's put away the bell tea and she now drinks exclusively Dilma's. Oh, la, la. Yeah, she's doing well for herself. Fancy.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Yeah, she thought she had downgraded when she stopped working, but she's back, baby. She's back on the dillies. Are you part of it? We don't say that. I don't believe that's the abbreviation of Dilma. I would probably say the mamas. Yeah, she's on the mamas.
Starting point is 00:25:41 She's on the mamas. She's on the mamas, yeah. Number two on the list of the top six signs your nan won the lottery. Grandad's Cialis prescription has been filled and prepaid for life.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Oh, yeah. She is going to get it when she wants it because she is a queen. Wow. Also, absolutely zero mention of the grandad, the ex-partner.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Oh, yeah, maybe he's gone. I wonder if he's passed or he was a piece of shit and she left him and now she's got $20 million so he can totally suck it. She's-partner. Oh yeah, maybe he's gone. I wonder if he's passed or he was a piece of shit and she left him and now she's got $20 million so he can totally suck it. She's an independent woman. Yeah, either way. She's got the Dilma. Yeah, who needs a man when you've got the mamas?
Starting point is 00:26:16 Dilma brings all the boys to the yard now. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six signs, your West Auckland nan just won the $28 million lotto. She's taken the protective cover off the couch because she's thinking about getting a new one anyway. She's like, stuff it, I can afford a new one.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Does Patsy use a protective cover on the couch? Patsy wouldn't. My mum puts pillowcases down because the cats sit on the couch. My parents have mink blankets on everything you can sit in in the lounge for on the couch. Oh no. My parents have mink blankets on everything you can sit in
Starting point is 00:26:46 in the lounge for the same reason. Cat fur. And it keeps it protected. Yeah. It keeps it going longer. Wow. I didn't think
Starting point is 00:26:54 Patsy would be a protective cover. Big aesthetics. Yeah. Yeah. It's just replacing that couch if it gets
Starting point is 00:27:00 If it gets mucky. Why not? Live your life. That is today's top six. A list is out. This comes to us via AMI, one of New Zealand's biggest insurers. I just say they are. I don't know that.
Starting point is 00:27:17 It's pronounced Amy. Amy, AMI. Who are you insured with? I think it's Amy. Amy where? Who does she work for? It's Amy, your starter. It's Amy. Amy where? Who does she work for? It's Amy, your starter. It's Amy. So this list of stolen vehicles is based on claims made from 2019 to 2021.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Oh, yeah. Now, the cars, this is the top 10 most stolen and that have been claimed for. So I guess if you had a real dungy, you just wouldn't claim for it if someone. Oh, yeah, true. You're like, thank you. Thank you for stealing it. No, but then you would claim. No, because you might...
Starting point is 00:27:50 But the excess might be... Yeah, it might just not be worth it. I mean, that's a real piece of shit, isn't it? Yep. So the 10th most stolen car, the Honda Civic, followed by the Subaru Forester. Subaru Forester. The Ford Courier.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Is that a van? Is it a ute? The pre-runner to the Ranger. Okay. I think my dad's is a Courier. Well, seven on the list is a ute as well. The Honda, sorry, the Toyota Hilux. I was going to say, the Honda made a ute.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Subaru Impreza is number six on the list of the top ten most stolen vehicles in New Zealand. Do you know, I always run this up when you talk about Subarus. Yeah. I once did a voiceover for Subaru or Subaru. I did the voiceover, I should know. Yeah, hang on.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Which one did you say on the day? Subaru. Welcome to the Subaru. They said that the police had told them that between midnight and five, if there's a Subaru on the road, two out of five will be stolen. Whoa. Wild day. Wild day.
Starting point is 00:28:56 40% of Subarus on the road between midnight and 5 a.m. are stolen. That is wild. If you're in a Subaru and you're driving around between midnight and five, a very high chance the police are going to be following you to run the plates. And pulling you over. Or pulling you over. Do they have easy locks to break into or something? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:12 And some of those old 90s Subarus are worth a fortune now. Well, number five on the list of the most stolen cars in New Zealand, Mazda Familia, the Subaru Legacy for another Subaru, the Nissan Tita. Oh, my for another Subaru. The Nissan Tita. Oh my god, no! You thought it was the Tilda. I always thought it was the Tilda. Because why would it have two eyes? That's ridiculous. That's the third
Starting point is 00:29:34 most stolen car. Now that car, a lot of these cars can be stolen and used for ram raids or just stolen to ride around. Who's ram raiding with a Nissan Tita? Yeah, I don't know if I'd want to ram raid with it. I also love that you thought it was Tilda. A Tita.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I love the actress Tita Swinton. She's so talented. Tita is derived from the English word tide, which means something that may increase or decrease natural harmony. The reading of the car name is derived from the Okinawa word tita, which means sun. So there you go, it means sun. Horrible looking cars, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:30:03 The Mazda Atenza, also known as the Mazda 6, is the second most stolen car in New Zealand. Oh yeah, I know that one. The most stolen car? Isn't that your car? No, I'm a Mazda. You're a three. Axler.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Oh, right. Mazda three, yeah. I always thought those were on the list of the most stolen cars as well, but not on this one. The Mazda Demio is the number one most stolen car. The Mazda 2, like my mum's got. The little Demios. Again, I just think they're easy to break into.
Starting point is 00:30:29 A lot of what they're saying is that the cars that are the most stolen are easiest to break into. You can fix that by having things like a immobiliser alarm. I don't know if you're putting one of those on a teeter. I always think it's a joke when they say those steering wheel locks
Starting point is 00:30:45 because that just seems like the 1990s solution to stop having your car stolen. But they reckon it can deter people. Aaron used to put one on his terrible old Toyota Corolla. Crack it in. That's on the list, though, isn't it? Oh, the Corolla's not on the list. No.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Well, no, because Aaron got them off the list. Got them off the list. The good news is if you do have a Mazda Demio, the most stolen car in the country, the Mazda 2, they're also the most likely to be recovered. Because someone drives down the road and they're like, okay, these aren't gutless. This is a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:31:19 94% of stolen Mazda Demio cars were recovered. Really? 94%? 94%, yeah. The highest rate out of the vehicles, yeah. So they don't steal them to strip them for parts. They literally steal them to steal them to get somewhere or do something. Run some errands and stuff, and then they are, they're like, ugh, this car sucks.
Starting point is 00:31:35 And then just basically, yeah, get rid of them. Oh, what about that regional one there? You've got the most frequently stolen cars. So, yeah, the most stolen by region. Shall I run through these? We've got time. Northland, the most stolen car, the Toyota Hilux. Auckland, the Teeter.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Waikato, the Mazda Atenza. Taranaki, the Demio. Your mum is an absolute... She's going to get robbed. I know. Her little Kermie. I'm going down this weekend. Shall I take a steering wheel?
Starting point is 00:31:59 Yeah, I think you should. I can give her a steering wheel lock. The Bay of Plenty, the Demio, the Mazda Demio. East Coast and the Manawatu, the Mazda Atenza. The Hawke's Bay, again, the Demio. Again, these are mum regions, aren't they? Mum regions. Big mum energy coming out of Hawke's Bay.
Starting point is 00:32:15 The Wided Appa, Ford Couriers. Lock those up. Farmers. Wided Appa. The Wellington region and the Nelson region, the Mazda Demio is the most stolen car. The West Coast and Canterbury, Horlucks. Got to be the bloody Horlucks. Yeah, bloody Horlucks.
Starting point is 00:32:28 That's because you're only allowed to drive a Horlucks if you live on the West Coast. Oh, God, if you turn up in a Teeter. Oh, my God. You'd be torn in new one, mate. They wouldn't pull you a Max, that's for sure. Teeters are always terrible colours as well. I remember I hired a car in Christchurch and I got a Teeter and it was like gold, like champagne. Champagne, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Or crystal, all that crystal blue. Yes. Which are great and in-trend in new bathroom fittings, but not for Teeters. Otago in Southland, the most stolen car, the Demio again. I thought it might have been the Ute in Southland, to be honest. Fascinating stats. Driven.co.nz are part of our company.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Driven? Let me hear more about Driven. Well, it's the New Zealand hero of the motoring, isn't it? And they also do car reviews? Yes, they do. If you're in the market for a new car. And they have car sales. That is company synergy.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Wow. That's fantastic. I always park next to, my car park's next to the Driven car park, so I get to park next to whatever car they're testing that week. That's why when they take back the cars, you've always got a ding in the door. Bit of a ding in the door. A bit of a scratch on the side.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Yesterday, we learned that one of the team has been enjoying delicious salami, and I'm a big salami fan. Love salami. Love. Have you had a home kill salami?
Starting point is 00:33:43 Okay, no, no, no, no. You've lost me. Oh, no, I'll bring you in. Cheap, processed plastic salami. It it. Is it a home kill salami? Okay, no, no, no, no. You've lost me. I'll bring you in. Cheap, processed plastic salami. It's so good. Peel the plastic packet open at the supermarket. And I want it to have a sheen on it. Like it's got a wax, like a gloss.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Because my mum's anti anything with flavour or taste. So growing up, we never, never knew it was an option. But when you get like a home kill, they can do you salami sticks that I would say would be as thick as my wrist, maybe even forearm, and like that long. Oh, I don't know about that. And they're $10. Cut your forearm that way.
Starting point is 00:34:15 That would be too big for a cracker. Oh, mate. It's a sandwich. It's almost a sandwich salami. It's like bougie salami. You know when you go to like a Faroes or a Moore Wilsons or something and they've got that salami. Yeah, big, thick salami. It's like bougie salami. You know when you go to like a Faro's or a Moore Wilson's or something and they've got that salami. Yeah, big thick salami. Oh, okay. It's real good salami.
Starting point is 00:34:30 I'll bring in a salami. What's in it? What's hopping in the salami? Blood. Fat. Yeah. A lot of salt. What animal? Some preserve. Oh, Moo Moo. Moo Moo cow. I've had venison salami too. Have you had venison salami? That is a nice salami. Oh, no. Bambi. I've had venison salami too. Have you had venison salami? That is a nice salami.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Oh, no. But now I want salami. I had a venison salami pizza the other night. Oh. Let me tell you. What else was on it? Pears? No, no, it was pretty simple.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Like some red onions and cheese. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Venison salami. Okay, well, I mean, as you can see, we're very passionate about salami. We could literally talk about it all day. We've just lost ourselves down a salami hole. Should we cancel some stuff later on in the show and we'll just do some more salami?
Starting point is 00:35:08 Yeah. I reckon we just don't answer that Zoom from Oscar Isaac later on and we'll eat the salami. Or maybe he wants to chat about salami. He probably wants to talk about salami. So it was executive intern Anya who'd been enjoying salami. Enjoying salami so much that... I ate some plastic.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Was it plastic? Was it wax paper or plastic? Wax paper. No, no. No, no. It's a plastic covering. Wait, so you were slicing through the salami and the plastic? Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:36 I mean, this speaks volumes for your knife. You must have a sharp knife. Yeah, good knife. You buy a big log of it, do you? So I haven't had the big log since I was a kid. I've been enjoying little midday antipasto platters, you see. Oh, shit. And I thought it's more cost effective if we do the roll rather than the fancy slices.
Starting point is 00:35:53 So I did that last week the first time since I was probably 10. And I cut into it and I was like, huh, that's an unusual kind of gloss on it. But I tried to peel at it and I was like, oh, no, that's fine. Ate it, didn't notice anything, tickety-boo. And then it wasn't until yesterday when I'd say I've got about three centimetres left on the salami roll. Oh, my God. I thought you were going to say it wasn't until yesterday
Starting point is 00:36:16 I had three centimetres of plastic hanging out my arse. Probably, yeah. Like a cat. When a dog eats a sock and you look at it and you're like, what the hell is out the dog's arse? And it's half a sock. When a dog eats a sock and you look at it and you're like, what the hell is out the dog's ass? And it's half a sock. Yeah, and then I saw it and it was a little barcode on it. And I was like, well, hang on.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Isn't that unusual things to put on a salami? They would wrap it. They would probably shrink wrap it. So it goes so tight to eliminate the air. And it wasn't the paper level. It was plastic. I know what you mean, though, because it is easy to to eliminate the air. And it wasn't the paper level, it was plastic. I love that. I know what you mean, though, because it is easy to eat that. Yeah, because it feels like it could be the casing.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Yeah, right? Of a salami. Oh, no, I'm a fail then. Did you as a kid ever eat the plastic on the luncheon chub? No, that was very, very brightly coloured, as I recall. Oh, yeah, you peel it. There'd be no mistake. There'd be no mistake. Or if they sliced it at the supermarket, they'd leave, yeah, and you peel it off. There'd be no mistake. There'd be no mistake.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Or if they slice it at the supermarket, they'd leave it on and you'd peel it off. Yeah, sometimes. I have eaten, and Jared, you shared with us, a friend of yours did this too. Yeah, we were snacking on the Babybel cheeses, which have that red wax around it, and we glanced at my mate and he'd just bitten straight.
Starting point is 00:37:23 He's eaten a wax. I've done that before. Not on those cheeses because I feel like that was really obvious. But you know on sometimes a real fancy kind of cheddar or something, it's got that edge to it that you're supposed to cut off the wax? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've eaten that. I often eat a Pita Pit wrapper.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Oh, if you're eating a Pita Pit. If they've oversourced it, if they've oversourced it, and if I may speak honestly, Your Honour, they're always oversourcing. They often are. And I love sauce, but they've oversourced it. You leave it for the walk back to your vehicle. It's an absolute soggy mess. Down the sleeve.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Yeah, and then you start eating it, and the paper is almost sogged up to become part of the wrap. And I'll eat some of the paper there in a hundred. That's fine, though, isn't it? Yeah. Is it? Is it? I don't know I mean you only notice
Starting point is 00:38:06 Until you're like Yeah That's not lettuce And then I just go like this At least it's not tinfoil on a kebab I've done that too That hits a filling That hits a filling
Starting point is 00:38:15 And you know you're alive Yeah We want to know this morning What you've accidentally eaten Be it a wrapper Be it something that was on Or a decorative garnish That wasn't meant to be eaten.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Which I think if a garnish can't be eaten, it shouldn't be on. Because I love eating the parsley at the end of anything. Love a big chew on some parsley. Freshens the breath. Great for the digestive system. So yeah, we want to know what you've accidentally eaten on 0800.ZM or text 9696. Bonus
Starting point is 00:38:41 points if you accidentally ate the plastic pie wrapper. How drunk were you? We're talking about what you accidentally ate the plastic pie wrapper How drunk were you? We're talking about what you accidentally ate With a mere centimetre or two left of a big roll of salami Executive engineer realizes she's been eating it wrapper and all Plastic wrapper too, not that wax paper stuff She saw the barcode, that's how she realized Oh god
Starting point is 00:39:03 So we want to know what you've eaten accidentally that you didn't know. Take some calls. Linley, what did you accidentally eat? It wasn't me. It was a colleague at a work function. And they had those little piped butter, little round butters that piped out. And he thought it was chocolate and he just chucked a couple in his mouth. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:39:32 The consistency would be. And I was like, we kind of looked at each other and then he just grabbed a bread roll and just ate a big hunk of bread to go in with it. I thought you were going to say he spat it onto the bread roll and then ate the bread roll. No, no, he just choked it all in together.
Starting point is 00:39:46 Did he think it was some kind of white caramelised chocolate drop or something like that? Yes, yes. Yeah, I think he thought it was chocolate. Yeah, yeah. Oh, Lindley, no.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Thanks so much for sharing. Sheila, your husband, what did he accidentally eat? Well, he was drunk in his defence, but places like Pack and Say, they now do a doggy pick and mix. And they have things like sliced beef lung and chicken necks
Starting point is 00:40:11 that smell like sweaty orifices. Sheila! Sweaty orifices? That was actually my punk... That was the name of my punk band in the 90s, Sheila. Yeah, oh, sweaty orifices. So good. We had a couple of big hits. Oh, Sweety Orifers. So good. We had a couple of big hits.
Starting point is 00:40:26 I've not bought it yet, though. I've not bought it yet. He had a doggy peanut butter cookie. I got my dog because our supermarket recently got one of these too and curiosity got the better of me. I'll tell you what, it's not a cheap way to buy dog treats. No, I bet. It's expensive.
Starting point is 00:40:40 I bought the dog's peanut butter cookies as well. They smell amazing. But you don't eat them. I don't see why not. Did he eat the whole thing? He ate the whole thing. He was tanked up slightly on Captain Morgan's. Oh, a bit of rum.
Starting point is 00:40:56 He's a pirate. He's got to have a chocolate biscuit. Did he give a good feedback, read the dog biscuit? He went, oh, that was nice. Have you got any more? And I'm like, no, that was the dog. Oh, no. Wow, Sheila, thanks for your call.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Phil, what did your mate eat accidentally? Yeah, g'day, team. Morning. We were at the Lone Star, and he was talking about the ribs. He goes, they're really good, but it comes with this terrible lemon soup. And we were thinking,
Starting point is 00:41:24 lemon soup, what we were thinking, lemon soup? What are you on about? Terrible lemon soup? Yeah, so he drank the water you wash your hands in, the little lemon water. He drank his finger dipping bowl? God, that's really excited Vaughan, isn't it? Oh, you've broken born with that one.
Starting point is 00:41:47 That is in a good spot. I've got shortness of breath. Oh, shit. You can't do this to Fletch. He's just recovered from COVID. He's on his hands and knees. I need an oxygen mask. That's so good, Phil.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Don't try the lemon soup. Drinking on the lemon soup. That's terrible, but that brought it to me. I had to oxygen mask. That's so good, Phil. Don't try the lemon soup. Taking out the lemon soup. God, that's terrible. Put that water through me. I have to drink it. Guys, plenty of water. Eat not much too, eh?
Starting point is 00:42:14 Phil, thanks for your call. Some messages in. Oh, shit. We're not going to be there. It really got me. Has anyone messaged in that they've had a little nibble on a Lush soap bar? Because eating that butter reminded me of, you know, I used to see those soap bars and they'd look like white chocolate or something.
Starting point is 00:42:27 And still soap. When you go into Lush it looks like fudge, eh? Yes. It could be a candy store. Absolutely. It could be a candy store. Somebody said, I thought there was salami at a friend's house so I ate what looked like a little beer stick.
Starting point is 00:42:43 It turned out I'd eaten a raw chorizo but once I started and it was like soft and cold I was like okay maybe this is just different, maybe this is just different I'd eaten a completely raw sausage I suppose because you can buy chorizo sausages that you have to cook and then you buy chorizo sticks which are like
Starting point is 00:43:00 which are like bear sticks which are already done My brother was a little itchy in the bottom area So sticks, which are like... Which are like beer sticks, which are already done. My brother was a little itchy in the bottom area. So mum gave him a suppository. And as soon as she popped it in his hand, he popped it in his mouth and swallowed it. Wrong end. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:20 You could take a suppository for worms. I thought it was those little chocolate squares. My kids get excited when there's worms in the house because we all have a little chocolate square. It's like a free chocolate. It's a very nice chocolate, though. My great-grandparents told me when I was a kid that when bananas were first introduced in New Zealand, they'd never had them before and didn't know you had to peel them,
Starting point is 00:43:38 so I ate them skin and all and said they were a horrible fruit. Oh, yeah, you wouldn't even get through the whole nani, would you? It was hard. I used to hate edamame beans. I thought they were a horrible fruit. Oh, yeah, you wouldn't even get through the whole nani, would you? It was hard. I used to hate edamame beans. I thought they were disgusting until someone told me I'm not supposed to eat the whole shelf. I'm just supposed to pop out the little beans and eat them. Oh, so fibrous.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Yeah. I made a sandwich, I started eating it, and it wasn't until my child walked into the kitchen because they're so short, they were like, what's on the bottom of your sandwich? And I looked and the bottom of the bread was just riddled in mould. One side of the meat, totally. Oh, no, I can't with that.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Fluffy, mouldy bread absolutely freaks me out. Lovely. Next on the show, Vaughan had quite a vivid dream last night. It was one of those dreams, as soon as they fell asleep, it started and it morphed, but there was like a common thread throughout. Life's different today, guys. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Last night I had one of those dreams that started when I first went to bed
Starting point is 00:44:36 and ended. I was worried what my dream was going to be last night because we started Euphoria. Yeah. On Neon. Oh, that's right. Giving you the chance to win soon $50,000 for Secret Sound. Very exciting.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Started Euphoria and I really, really struggled with it. Why did you? You have two young daughters. I know. Who are heading very quickly towards teenagehood. Yeah, I know. And you started watching Euphoria? It's dark. It's so dark. I really struggled with it. I don't know. And you started watching Euphoria. It's dark.
Starting point is 00:45:05 It's so dark. I really struggled with it. I don't know if I'm going to be able to persist. It's like skins on crack. Great cast. But I don't know. I'm just like, I don't know if I can do this. It's really great.
Starting point is 00:45:17 So I was worried about what my dreams would be. Because sometimes if I worry about things too much, that's what I dream about. I think that's a lot of people, maybe anxiety-fueled maybe anxiety fuel dreams but anyway in my dream it started off pretty casually my wife um told me that she would be um ending our marriage in my dream right and she approached it she's just like here's the story right um I'm I think our marriage is done and I was like that's a hard pill to swallow And she's like I've actually got someone
Starting point is 00:45:47 On the back burner And I was like okay Well that's understandable And then I remember kind of seeing him But you know what dreams are like You don't really see someone but you kind of see someone And he was handsome Was he from Euphoria?
Starting point is 00:46:00 No he wasn't from Euphoria He was handsome so I was like this is understandable In my dream I was taking, this is understandable Yep Makes sense In my dream I was taking this all relatively But she said, I'm worried that Without me forcing you to socialise That you'll become a hermit Which you would
Starting point is 00:46:15 Which I absolutely would You just play PlayStation We'd never see you No, no, no, no I'd go bush I'd go bush with my Starlink And you'd never see me again. I've got the internet in the bush.
Starting point is 00:46:26 What more do I need? And she said, I'm worried that you'll go hermit. Yeah. And the kids won't have a great relationship with their hermit dad as they get a bit older. And I was like, oh, okay. And I'm like, where's this going? She's like, so I'm leaving you, but I'm also helping you find somebody and i would like you to
Starting point is 00:46:46 meet lara i don't know lara what does she look like in your dream this lara um brown hair yeah um i don't know how else to describe her kind of like she looked a bit like i've been thinking about who she looked a bit like she looked a bit like one of the characters of Yellowstone, which is another show I'm watching, which you can also see on Neod. Neod, the sponsor of The Secret Sound. Giving you a chance to win $50,000 if I had to click the spotting. Don't call yet. And she looks a little bit like Mia on Yellowstone,
Starting point is 00:47:20 who I've just Googled and it turns out is Josh Brolin's daughter. Right. You know, Thanos. It's Thanos' daughter. Is she a hottie? Yeah, she's just like, she's down home. She's just like a country gal. More Hollywood nepotism.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Yeah. Good to see. For the Rolands. So you, so you, she introduced you to Lara. Yeah, and nothing, like, nothing, I just kind of was like, okay, oh, I mean, you've left me, and I'm really can't be bothered putting any effort into finding anybody. Do you have this big cowboy hat in your dream? That'd be hot, though.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Yeah. I could definitely buy her a cowboy hat. Unless you're wearing your cowboy hat and you go to kiss and they... Yeah, the brim's whack. Yeah, the brim's whack. Brim collision. So, Lara and I just hang out. Lara's cool, man.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Okay. Lara just... Nothing, this is the weird... It was just like I just had a new pal. Right. No kissing? No kissing. No touching?
Starting point is 00:48:09 There was no kissing. I said to her at one stage, she's like, what are your plans for the weekend? I was like, I'm playing D&D with the boys. And she said, how charming. How does that work? And I was like, what? And she's like, how does Dungeons and Dragons work? I was like, did she leave you?
Starting point is 00:48:24 Do you want me to explain it to you? And she's like, yeah, tell me how it works. And I was like, what? And she's like, how does Dungeons and Dragons work? I was like, did she leave you? Do you want me to explain it to you? And she's like, yeah, tell me how it works. And I was like, okay. And I kind of told her, she's like, oh, absolutely charming. That sounds like fun. And I was like, I'm surprised she didn't leave. Yeah. No, she hung around. This is Lara. Lara, what a trooper. I woke up this morning and I'll
Starting point is 00:48:40 be honest, I miss Lara. Do you have that little hole in your heart where you're a little bit like someone's missing? It's Lara miss Lara. Do you have that little hole in your heart where you're a little bit like someone's missing? It's Lara. Right. And you told your wife. It's imaginary Lara.
Starting point is 00:48:50 You told your wife. She was leaving me. Right. If anybody's going to be anybody angry about this absolutely fictitious situation, it should be me. Right. Because she's leaving me.
Starting point is 00:49:02 It is fictitious, but you have spent the morning trying to Google women that look like Lara so that you can keep a photo of Lara in your memory at all times. No, I didn't keep a photo of Lara. It's absolutely locked in. Are you hoping that maybe Lara might visit you tonight? Nah, that would just get me in trouble. You didn't even get to kiss.
Starting point is 00:49:19 You could have an affair. You could have a dream affair. That was the weird thing about it. It wasn't like a sexy dream. It wasn't like a sexy dream. It wasn't like a sexy dream. Right. It was just like, Lara was just, it was just like I had a friend, really. It was like I had a friend.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Yeah, she's accepting of your nerdom. Nerddom. Yeah. Nerddom. Nerddom. And she's going to stop me being a bush hermit. Yeah. Oh, I can't wait to meet Lara.
Starting point is 00:49:44 You'll never meet her And neither will I We never know She might walk into your dreams one day And you'll be like Oh my god it's Lara That's the woman I'm supposed to be with Goodbye kids
Starting point is 00:49:52 Goodbye Sade Goodbye perfectly happy life Goodbye perfect life Goodbye woman that's put up with Nonstop bullshit for nearly 20 years This is a slippery slope Because very soon you're going to be able To put on your VR headset
Starting point is 00:50:04 And go to MetaWorld and have an affair with Lara. Oh my God, you can have a VR affair with Lara. A VR affair with Lara. Because you can create her. Yeah. Oh, it's getting dangerous. How far away are we from this technology? I don't know, but not too, yeah, not too far.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Nah. Not too long that that twinkle in your eye will disappear. Lara was cool, but, you know, what we had was magic, but it's over now. Lara's cool, but Sade is just like a solid, reliable workhorse. I did try to talk Sade into joining our Dungeons & Dragons yesterday, and she laughed at me and said, I wouldn't waste my time. Now Lara would. Lara wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:50:42 You know you can't pull that on Sade. Oh, Lara. Well, you know, my imaginationary Lara. Imaginationary? My imaginary friend Lara certainly wouldn't have scoffed at me. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Give them some good news.
Starting point is 00:51:05 Give them some good news. Then give them some good news Give them some good news Then give them some bad news Good, good, bad, good Oh, I love it. Yeah, it's good. Good, good, bad, good. So much bad news out there at the moment. Yeah, I mean, we can't deny that bad things are happening, so we have to put a little bit of bad news in.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Yeah, it's like good news. Like what management call a crap sandwich. Yeah. They give you a positive and then they put in that little bit of crap in the middle and then another positive. It could have been another name for this segment is the crap sandwich. Yeah. So we're hiding the bad news, surrounded by good news. Would you like to start with some good news, Dawn?
Starting point is 00:51:40 I can start with some very good news. Please do. We've got another air traffic controller back in the tower. Yes. You've got to have your air traffic controllers back in the tower. Yeah. You can't have a tower empty.
Starting point is 00:51:51 That would lead to aviation disaster. Oh, my God, a nightmare. You might be wondering, where did the air traffic controller go? And the good news is he's back. Well, he lost his job after an investigation by the Civil Aviation Authority, found out that he had been handcuffed to his chair and involved in sexual activity
Starting point is 00:52:11 while giving instructions to pilots on how to land at the airport. Multitasking, eh? Multitasking. This is a wild story. Now, a further investigation, you might be thinking, well, how did he get it back? If that is indeed the case. Further investigation has said, now, while the man did have sex whilst on duty in the air traffic control tower, he hadn't been handcuffed at the time.
Starting point is 00:52:31 So hadn't been physically prevented from doing his duties. Right. The handcuffing part happened in a hotel room in this four-year-long, oh, no, how long? Two-year-long extramarital affair that he'd been having. Right. Wow, okay. That's a long time. Now, when this ended poorly, this affair, the other
Starting point is 00:52:53 woman contacted his wife and filled in her and on all the details. Oh, okay. And then word got out. Right. The investigation begun. This woman had also said, give me $50,000 or I'll ruin your life. Blackmail?
Starting point is 00:53:09 Yeah. And he said, uh-oh, and then she proceeded to ruin his life. And then he ruined his own life. Yeah. Really? So now he's got his job back, but now he's got his license back
Starting point is 00:53:21 to practice calling in the planes. I'm terrible at multitasking. I'd either be concentrating on what's happening or the plane's landing. I couldn't do both. No, you absolutely couldn't do both, particularly in some moments. My God. Yeah, if you find this story online, this happened in New Zealand, by the way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:38 There's a photo of the judge, Judge Chris Tohee of Wellington, at the Wellington District Court, who dealt with this. I have never seen a man so fed up of bullshit in my life. Oh, my God. Look at him. He's like, man. He's like, are you effing kidding me?
Starting point is 00:53:52 He's like, you did what in an air traffic control? Wow. Claire de Lange. Damn. I'm too educated for this. Flaps down. Well, that's good news. Don't make me laugh.
Starting point is 00:54:04 He's got COVID. He's short of breath. I do apologise. That's's good news. Don't make me laugh. He's got COVID. He's short of breath. I do apologise. That's my good news anyway. Another air traffic controller back in the tower. Great news. I have some good news. Kawasaki have released their rideable robot goat.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Kawasaki, the motorbike people? Yes. Now, it looks very similar. The bottom half looks very similar to the Boston Dynamic Robot. Oh, my God. And then it looks like some bizarre 3D model. More like a deer than a goat. Like a deer, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:34 And, yeah, so that's a thing. That's my good news. That's fantastic news. Well, I don't know if they're mass produced yet, but there's... The Kawasaki store, there's the Kawasaki Ninja. Yep. And then beside that, the Kawasaki Goat. Yep. God, imagine you and me, Vaughan, in the mornings,
Starting point is 00:54:46 riding in to work from West Auckland. On our Kawasaki Goat. On our robot goats. And you're coming in from the CBD on yours, and then we park them up and give them a pat and off to work. Plug them into charge. Very good news. Well, of course, it is good, good, bad, good.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Yep. So the bad news, you may have read a number of years now, people have been saying, oh, a glass of red wine a day keeps the doctor away. You know, they said it was good for your mental health, good for your cardiovascular health. It's got riboflapins in it. Yeah, it's got antioxidants.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Red wine and dark chocolate. And so people have been going like, alcohol's not that bad for you. In fact, there's some positives. Well, scientists have finally put a pin in that one. Alcohol is, at its core, fundamentally always bad for you. Oh, nuts. There is nothing about it that is positive. So that would be your intake of how much a week?
Starting point is 00:55:38 Now, what did scientists say about a bottle of whiskey over five days? Two of those days of the weekend. Well, the average alcohol consumption of an adult is 9.2 drinks a week. I guess you can just say I'm advanced. Yeah, exactly. Or you're high functioning. So cardiovascular disease, heart disease is all higher in people who drink more. Alcohol does more harm than good, unfortunately. Red wine a day gives the doctor his pay, in fact.
Starting point is 00:56:14 But I will end it with some good news, and this is very good news indeed. There is a road in London that has been closed for nearly a month. And, I mean, it's been driving people nuts, but it's for a good reason. Toads migrate across this road, and they have closed it to protect them so they don't get squished by motorists during their annual migration. The good news is the toads have made it, made it, well, they've made it probably along the way,
Starting point is 00:56:40 they've made it across the other side of the road, all of them unscathed, and the road is due to open up tomorrow. Oh, that's good news. That's great news. Have you ever seen those wildlife crossings? They've got some in Aussie, and they're just like a green footbridge
Starting point is 00:56:53 that spans across the road, and that's where all the animals go. Big and wide. How do they know? I think they should make the roads go under or over. It just stays at the same level for the animals. Oh, right. Like they were there.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Because humans famously respect animals and their planet. We're like, oh, no, no, you were here first. Yeah. It's like that wild herd of Kawasaki goats. Yes. You know, now they've captured them and enslaved them to be ridden. I know. I can't wait to get mine though.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Me too. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Well, this is this comes out of the University of Cornell in New York City. Looking at the secret to everlasting love, being around
Starting point is 00:57:38 finance and their findings from this and how couples deal with money together. Is it get a sugar daddy? Get a sugar daddy is number one, of course. I had one of those and the gross old dude kept waving it in my face. I remember not too long ago. Earn your money.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Earn your money. Get that out of my face, Graham. I'm only here for the car. I got approached recently, remember, by a guy who wanted to be my sugar daddy. Didn't he want to see your feet? That's a different guy, wasn't it? Yeah, that was a guy wanted to be my sugar daddy. Didn't he want to see your feet? Well, that's a different guy, wasn't it? Yeah, that was a different guy. But also, Carmen gets like three or four of these a week.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Yeah, I know, but she's gorgeous. You know what I mean? I'm going to wash it up. I'm a 32-year-old hag. Anyway, I said no, but it's fine. So what they found was that couples that pulled their finances, had joint finance, exhibited stronger connections and had a more positive relationship with each other.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Safe, stable interactions. They used words like we and us. Oh yeah. Shared language and our. We're never talking about their future. People in strong relationships, they say very rarely use the word I. I'm doing this or I'm doing that.
Starting point is 00:58:44 It's always we. Right. And when you pull your money together, that changes that thing. You're always thinking about yourself now as one entity. What does it say about your secret bank account for spending that you've got? Well, that's actually my business account because I also am a freelancer as well. Yeah, my account, not our account. Yeah, but that's business slash moochie.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Right. Right, okay. Business slash shopping account. Right, okay. But me and Aaron have been joint financers for like five years or so, five, six years. Love it. Love it.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Yeah, I guess if you were together for so long and you had individual accounts, it might be weird. Like, oh, you're on your own. Good luck. But I know lots of people that still have completely separate things and then they put in to their joint life. Even like growing up, a mate of mine, his mum took care of the mortgage
Starting point is 00:59:37 and his dad paid all the bills. But they kept their money separate. Really? Yeah. The dad took care of all the money, please. Were they paying equally? I don't know. It? Yeah. The dad took care of all the money. Were they paying equally? I don't know. It's strange. It was just like, I'll take care of this, you take care of that.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Yeah, just put it all into one. One pool, yeah, right. Yeah, you'd think so. Yeah, I don't know. Not for everybody. No, it isn't. I think it would be complicated. I mean, for me it has always made sense because we've always been freelancers with periodic work. He'd have work and I wouldn't and then I would have work and he wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:00:05 So it was like kind of made sense. Whereas I guess if you had two salaries, you could just rock it like that. But I don't know about being like 50 years old and being like, baby, haven't put your rent in. Yeah, that'd be weird. The power bill was at 147, so that's 73.50 each. So if you could transfer that.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Yeah. Plus I got the Uber Eats last night. So that was $42. So that's another $21. So that's $94-ish. Oh, could you imagine the admin? I just can't. But anyway, there's another reason to pull your finances.
Starting point is 01:00:44 I mean, wait a little bit. Maybe not at the six week mark. No. Don't go all in and get a joint visa together. Yeah. But it forms a more positive,
Starting point is 01:00:52 safe and stable relationship. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. A study done in America, but I believe it will be worldwide. This will ring out.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Ring true. Ring true in New Zealand for sure. That 74% of people have experienced buyer's remorse after purchasing something online. Common regrets after buying things online include that the item was less valuable
Starting point is 01:01:19 than expected. Cheap. Cheap shit. I mean, you can't be shopping on AliExpress and thinking, man, it's disgusting than expected. Cheap. Cheap shit. Yep. Cheap shit. Yep. I mean, you can't be shopping on AliExpress and thinking, no, this is costing $2 and I'm getting free postage from China. This is going to be some high quality. The quality should be good. Speaking of which, I ordered that egg shaker thingy.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Oh, no. Why? It looks so gross. So you put an egg. I'm for it. I'm on the record. I'm for this. You put an egg. I'm for it. I'm on the record. I'm for this. You put an egg into this little weird egg-shaped cup thing.
Starting point is 01:01:53 You shut the lid and then you pull a string and it scrambles the egg inside the shell. And then you hard boil it. And then when you open the egg, it's all yellow. It should go without saying, but I am not pro-segregation. But egg whites and egg yolks are separate and never the two shall mix. When it arrives in two months, I'm so excited. Egg partied will not have a voice on the show, Hayley Sproul. The only way they mix is in a scramble or an omelette. You can't shake up an egg and then hard boil it.
Starting point is 01:02:15 It looked so firm and dense. What if you did the... Shook it and then didn't hard boil it, cracked it straight into a pan. Well, yeah, but that's just like, that's just like, you might as well use a fork. You've got it. You might as well try this thing. You could just do that in a cup and give it a whisk.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Well, I tell you what. You just think you came up with a cool new idea there, boy? No, no, but I was just thinking it's another option. I'm giving this guy options. Did you just? Yeah. Well, I tell you what, there's no remorse because that was $11.
Starting point is 01:02:41 But it hasn't arrived yet. You're going to get it and you're going to think this is the stupidest thing I've ever wasted money on. Even more stupid than the taco holders that you made me buy that are just sitting in the drawer collecting dust. It's not my fault you don't use those. I use my taco holders. You love AliExpress.
Starting point is 01:02:56 All the time, these little white bubble wrap bags are overworked with some insane sticker on them. Like, the stickers are insane. Yeah, I know. And then you look and it's come from some far off place in China. Yeah. And it says, like, free postage on it. It's nuts. I know, it's wild.
Starting point is 01:03:15 You love it. I do, but no remorse. Free postage, Jane. You've spent two bucks on it and it's come from China. I know. I know. I don't know how that's happening. How does it work?
Starting point is 01:03:22 Yeah. Well, other regrets after buying things online, not using it frequently as this egg monstrosity will be in the taco holders. And having spent too much money in the first place. Because people get, they blame it on good advertising. Yeah. Cheap pricing, AliExpress. Or they're drunk.
Starting point is 01:03:40 A lot of people do that. Oh my God, lockdown. Because I couldn't have a little itch, like a little scratch of my shopping itch. Yeah. And because I was drinking so much in lockdown, I was often like nine martinis in and absolutely spending up a storm.
Starting point is 01:03:56 And it would all turn up and I would feel this instant guilt, like what have I done? Buyer's remorse. Buyer's remorse. So, three quarters experience the remorse. Yeah. And now, three quarters of people own up to 15 items they don't even like. And they don't get rid
Starting point is 01:04:13 of them. Most of them are stashing them somewhere they'll never see. Like the back of the wardrobe or the bottom of the drawer. God, they're taking up so much space too. And they just sit there. They just sit there reminding you what a stupid, stupid purchase that is.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Here's what we need to do. Open up the phone lines and ask you about these items that you have buyer's remorse over. What is your biggest online shopping regret? And do you still have it? And where is it? Yes. Maybe it's a stupid item that came up on Wish or on your feed and you were like, I need that. Oh, I Yes. Maybe it's a stupid item that came up on Wish or on your feed and you
Starting point is 01:04:45 were like, I need that. Oh, I know. Or it's like... Wish! What are you buying? Crackpipes? $2 crackpipes? This is mad. 0800 DALS.M is the number. You can text as well. 9696. What is your biggest online shopping regret?
Starting point is 01:05:02 Ads. Frank Ocean. Lost. Goodness me. Words were said as microphone faders were going up and I thought you're saying that. Don't do that to me. You set me up. He does that. And then you turn on the mics as I'm about to respond.
Starting point is 01:05:18 He says his filth. And then you're about to filth back and he's pulling the microphone faders up. You do what to Frank Ocean? Don't you dare. Unbelievable. So many things's pulling the microphone faders up. You do what to Frank Ocean? Don't you dare. So many things. I would do so many things. 20 past eight, if you've just joined us,
Starting point is 01:05:31 there is a study that's shown that three quarters of all people have buyer's remorse when it comes to something online. Yeah, some online shopping. And most of the time we now just hold on to it and shove it at the back of the wardrobe and just think, oh, what a waste of money that was. So we want to know from you this morning, what item do you have buyer's remorse for?
Starting point is 01:05:49 Yeah, what's your biggest online shopping regret? Fiona, what item is it? Hey, good morning, guys. Good morning. So I brought, it was a hair crimper that I seen advertised through our Instagram during lockdown and I was like, yeah, yeah, let's give this a go. It looks amazing.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Got it, used it. Looked like I had had a perm. Not, not, not keen at all. Not the look you were going for then? No, no, definitely not. So I've used it once and it's just gathering dust now. And I really don't even think there's any hope selling it on Marketplace, to be honest. Oh dear.
Starting point is 01:06:24 You do get lured in by these like cool Instagram girls, eh, with their wavy hair. And you're like, ah, that's what I look like. For sure. Yeah, it doesn't happen, does it? No. Well, good luck with your perm. Yeah. Looking like Deirdre off Coronation Street.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Fiona, thanks. You're cool. Julie, what was your buyer's remorse? Hi, guys. Good morning. Mine was, I don't really buy much offline at all. And one time I did, I was looking through as at Wish. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:52 They showed those massive fluffy blankets. Like you could feel the warmth coming through the screen. They were just thick. Was it one of the weighted blankets or just fluffy? No, it was a big king size, it was a big king size one. It just was fluffy. It just looked beautiful. So I said, right, I'm going to do it.
Starting point is 01:07:11 So anyway, I waited for days and it still didn't come. And anyway, the postie treated at the gate, I went and found this tiny little package. And I thought, I haven't ordered anything. The bloody thing was the size of a flannel. What was it a blanket for? A Barbie? Well, exactly. I mean, I just didn't
Starting point is 01:07:36 get it. I thought, what king-sized person uses that? But the more important thing, Julie, was it soft? No. It was solid. It was like one of those things you wipe
Starting point is 01:07:49 the bench with oh like a chamois like a microfiber yeah like a microfiber oh no Julie thanks for
Starting point is 01:07:56 your call some messages in yeah online shopping disappointment I bought a $150 tennis ball launcher for my
Starting point is 01:08:04 dog on AliExpress and two months later a tennis ball turned up in the post. I've seen those. You like crank them back and lock them in the spring and then, boom, shoots a tennis ball. Do you have to crank it every time? Yeah, I think so. They just got the ball.
Starting point is 01:08:21 Also, just don't spend $150 on anything on AliExpress. No, I wouldn't spend that much And then you get 18,000 emails a day from AliExpress Telling you that another person's put it on and it only costs $2 now Oh gosh Goodness me Someone ordered an adult fun toy Except
Starting point is 01:08:41 How do I put this They're not satisfied? Too satisfied. Not that sort of one, but they ordered this and rather than the whole thing turning up, it was just a replacement part for if you were to wear
Starting point is 01:08:59 out the original adult fun toy, you would take one part out and you could put this part back in. Wow. Yeah. Oh, okay. So we just got a mime. We just got a mime for what it was.
Starting point is 01:09:13 Yeah, I just chucked it away. But anyway, they thought they were getting either. They thought they were getting the whole one, but it just was the parts. Laurie, what was your buyer's regret? Well, I bought one of those waist blankets. I always see them. I always see them and I'm like, hmm. Your buyer's regret. Well, I bought one of those waist blankets. I always see them.
Starting point is 01:09:28 I always see them and I'm like, hmm. This looks amazing. So I was like, yep, that'll sort her out to sleep. That'll sort the anxiety. Yes. Yes. So I got it and I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions, like the weight and then so she was like 60kg, right? so you get one that's, like, I can't remember.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Anyway, that's probably why I stuffed it up. Yeah. Because, and we got it, it was so heavy that my husband couldn't actually lift it, and so I was, like, I put it on Charlotte, because I was, like, oh, Dad's being dramatic. Yeah. And she was, like, stop, give it off. Oh, my God. It's like a Dad's being dramatic. Yeah. And she was like, stop, give it off. Oh my God. It's like a smothering blanket.
Starting point is 01:10:09 And then I tried it, and I was like, yeah, it's pretty heavy. I mean, you were buying a weighted blanket. Oh, that's so good. You're still enjoying it. That's so good. Thank you so much, Laurie.
Starting point is 01:10:27 Maybe you have to work your way up on weighted blankets. Yeah. Yeah, like doing weights. Yeah, like weights. You start with the twos and then you head to the sevens. You work your way up. Someone said, I bought some stuff from Sheen. Oh, Sheen.
Starting point is 01:10:38 Oh, Sheen. Sheen are the ones, sometimes you get an ad and it'll be like a pair of jeans that end halfway up the ass and then another pair of jeans come out like a G-string and then go up over the belly button. The wildest fashion. Okay, that just sounds horrible. It's like Wish, but for fashion, not $2 crack pipes. Right.
Starting point is 01:10:54 So I bought some stuff from Sheen. My gua sha came broken in pieces. I've looked that up. That is... Oh, it's a face massager. Yes. Yeah, it's a traditional Chinese healing method in which a trained professional uses a smooth edge tool to stroke your skin
Starting point is 01:11:05 while they press on it. Has Dr. Wen got one of those? Oh, absolutely. He would. He would. He'd have one. Oh my God, PhD. So that turned up broken.
Starting point is 01:11:14 But the zip-up jersey I ordered was see-through and made from 100% polyester. I tried it on and I was like, well, there are my nipples. It has been shoved into the back of the wardrobe ever since. It's never good.
Starting point is 01:11:29 Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Some new notes in there. Yeah, we went all over the place. Today's fact of the day is about how much money is in gaming. Oh, lots. Any idea as to the money made by the gaming industry? Billions. Yep.
Starting point is 01:12:01 Far out. How many billions? In 2021? 20. Okay, 20? Six. 100. $180 billion made in the gaming industry.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Well, you think you release a game, it can make more than a movie, a Hollywood movie, and probably not even cost that much to make. No. But the budgets of games certainly have gone way up. Yeah. Like pretty much most of them are little movies now. They've got motion capture. They've got all the best voice artists, actors and stuff playing the roles.
Starting point is 01:12:35 Okay. Now have a guess at the split of what type of gaming made the most money in 2021. What are you looking at? What's the types of gaming made the most money in 2021? What are you looking up? What's the types of gaming? I just, well, I Googled, like, how much does it cost to make a game in the list of most expensive games? Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:54 Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2, development costs $40 to $50 million, marketing $200 million, so a total of $250 million. So comparable to a movie. To a movie, yeah, to a total of $250 million. So comparable to a movie. To a movie, yeah, to a blockbuster. But what, you see a movie once, it lasts for, let's say,
Starting point is 01:13:12 two and a half hours. Movies are getting a little bit longer. And you see it once and that's that. But gaming, you buy. Also, that didn't include in-app purchases. Right, Cyberpunk 2077. Yeah, that was very expensive and a big letdown.
Starting point is 01:13:29 $316 million. All up. Like you say, they are like movies. I remember Aaron, years, years back, was an actor because they do make, you know, all the story stuff is acted out. The cut scenes, the cut scenes are motion captured. Yeah, so Aaron did this and then played some kind
Starting point is 01:13:48 of war hero or something like that for a thing like this and then they get soundtracks, awesome soundtracks just like a film. So it is a film. So Modern Warfare, Call of Duty that we mentioned before that with marketing and everything cost $250 million. And the first day
Starting point is 01:14:04 Modern Warfare, from revenue in just the United States and UK, was $310 million. Okay, and day one, it's recouped. Day one. Recouped everything it cost and added another $70 million.
Starting point is 01:14:16 After five days, $550 million. There you go. And it's taken over a billion dollars in sales. Yeah. Because that's the key to a good game. You get the people to buy the game and then they've got to buy things in the game. So the game's always evolving.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Wild. However, it's not console games or PC games that make all the money. It's candy crush. Hard games. Mobile games. Oh, so it's not solid here. This is only digital games. This doesn't include board games or card games.
Starting point is 01:14:42 So it's your candy crushes. Yep. Mobile games in 2021 had a 7% increase year on year to $93.2 billion. Woo! Over half. Wow. Over half of the money last year made
Starting point is 01:14:58 by gaming companies was made on mobile gaming. Because his aunties need some more jewels. But it's less, so less money would go into these app games, wouldn't they? Less money would go into a Candy Crush than a Call of Duty. Totally. Because the production value is so much lower. Yeah, but it's easier to play.
Starting point is 01:15:16 And it's addictive in that way. Yeah, and far friendlier to a larger audience, like moms and aunties and people who don't have time for video games. Like they'll probably tell you they've never played a video game but they play candy crush for two hours a day yeah and spend a bit of money yeah so pc gaming uh was 36 billion dollars our console gaming was 50 billion dollars and mobile gaming was 93.2 billion dollars so if you've got a kid and they can code um the future is theirs. Encourage it. Encourage the coding. Isn't that weird?
Starting point is 01:15:47 At high school, I mean, I went to an all-girls school. I know it's a very male-driven industry, but there was no, like, there was no, that wasn't a career. Yeah. When I was there, that wasn't, like, we did computers. We had a room for computers when I went to school. Yeah, but I think
Starting point is 01:16:04 we did. It was A13, computer room. Yeah, and you learnt like Excel spreadsheets and how to use a PowerPoint. Not how to code a game. But the people that did learn it and hung out there at lunchtime and made a career out of it will be absolutely milking it.
Starting point is 01:16:20 So today's fact of the game is fact of the game? Get out of it. Fact of the day is that in 2021 the gaming industry made $80 billion and over half of that was on mobile gaming alone. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Well, it's out today on Disney+. It's Moon Knight. It is the latest TV show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:02 It's very exciting. And Oscar Isaac joins us now via Zoom. Good morning. Hello. We were having bets whether or not you'd be full beard or no beard, and you're kind of in the middle. But who wins? Well, Vaughn's actually quite annoyed because he said it's not fair
Starting point is 01:17:18 that you look equally as good with a beard and without a beard because him without a beard. I look horrible without a beard. Are you? Terrible without a beard. Face is without a beard. I look horrible without a beard. Terrible without a beard. Face is falling off the skull. It's, stop it. Handsome eyes, really?
Starting point is 01:17:31 Oh, still. The beard's carrying the eyes. The beard's got to frame the eyes. That's the thing. But that's the problem. Also, short beard, long beard. Like your beard in Dune, it was long and like this big, beautiful, bushy beard and he looked great and all of that stuff. I prefer to keep just a tight moustache most of the time, to be fair. Let's talk about
Starting point is 01:17:46 other parts of my body with hair on it. Let's do it. Yeah, yeah. I feel like let's get into it. We can talk about you know, I don't have any chest hair. Naturally, or do you choose to get rid of your chest hair? Naturally. I naturally don't have any. It's like a little like a Sahara Desert here. Wow.
Starting point is 01:18:02 Starts at the belly button again. Chest alopecia. Yeah, it's like the... No, it's a little bit like, it's more like the earth, you know, where like south of the equator it gets like a rainforest down there. But up here it's a bit more arid. I like that. Tropic of Capricorn and
Starting point is 01:18:18 that. This is the coffee growing region. Right there. This is where all the weather forms. Okay, lucky. To get this beard, I had to trade my head here and then make an agreement with the devil to be completely covered in hair from neck down. So you've been in Star Wars, Animated Atoms Family, Dune, X-Men, the Animated Spider-Verse,
Starting point is 01:18:39 and now you're officially in the MCU. Why must you be in everything I love, Oscar Isaac? World domination. Yes. It's just I'm franchise hungry. You want the toys. You want the bits and pieces. You want to be everywhere.
Starting point is 01:18:54 He's nailing it. That's right. Any plans to get into Paddington? Because that's my one franchise that I absolutely love that you haven't yet been part of. Every single one. I'm after every single one. I have to win the board. How hard did they
Starting point is 01:19:08 have to work to get you involved in Moon Knight? It was. It took a lot of thinking about because, you know, I wasn't sure. There is a lot of superhero content out there and I wasn't sure the world needed another one or at least my participation in one. But after talking to Kevin and thinking about the story and the potential for the character, I felt there was an opportunity to do something really unique within the MCU. I was just going to say this one's completely unique. We've had a little preview and the moment you think you've got your head around it it totally changes your accents costumes you're in different places different times different realms you must have had a blast filming it was so much fun i really did every day i remember ethan early on said you just want to make sure that when that alarm goes off you're excited to get to set you
Starting point is 01:19:59 know and and everything we worked on was just stuff to make it better, make it more interesting, make it more emotionally intense and connected. And yeah, there was just so much to do. That's awesome. Did you get to keep one of the suits? It's my big thing when people are in shows. I'm like, did I get to keep a suit? I didn't keep the suits.
Starting point is 01:20:21 I did keep some of Stephen's costume. I just thought it was so cool. But the suits, you know, not so much. I kept one of the crescent blades. Oh, yeah. Imagine someone breaking into your house and you're like,
Starting point is 01:20:30 I don't want to pull this on you, but I've got a crescent blade here. I am Moon Knight. It's time you left. We're out of time, but thank you so much for your time this morning. We love Moon Knight.
Starting point is 01:20:41 I only watched two episodes because it had my big dumb email address across the middle watermark. But it is streaming tonight on Disney+. It is Moon Knight. Oscar only watched two episodes because it had my big, dumb email address across the middle watermark. But it is streaming tonight on Disney+. It is Moon Knight. Oscar Isaac, thanks so much. I hope you enjoy it.
Starting point is 01:20:50 Thank you. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. Well, I mean, Oscar Isaac complimented your lovely eyes during our Zoom call just moments ago. Yeah. And we thought, well, while you're on such a high, your man crush has said lovely things about your eyes. Now would be the perfect time to do an intervention.
Starting point is 01:21:08 Yeah. So on Monday morning, Vaughn, you walked in, as you usually do, with a new bag, a new backpack. Because you said just before, is this my Birkenstocks and jeans? But we both said that's very stylish for you. No, no, that's acceptable. We're on board. But this bag, however, we both clocked it.
Starting point is 01:21:27 We looked at each other and we said nothing. We thought, surely he's just picked up one of the girls' bags and tomorrow he'll be back with a normal bag. Yesterday, the bag is back. And today we will stand for it no longer. The bag is still here. Today when you walked in, it almost was like a hideous yellow light beaming into our...
Starting point is 01:21:46 I put my sunglasses on. Yeah. So this bag, will you describe it to us, Vaughn? This bag, it was my daughter's bag. She got given this bag for her birthday, but she had a bag. That is so hideous. At the weekend when I was cleaning out my room, I went to clean out my backpack, which I've had for like 10 years.
Starting point is 01:22:11 And the straps were all loose. The rippy bits were happening. It wasn't great. So I was like, I'm going to chuck this. And then before I get my bag, I said to August, can I borrow your Pikachu bag? And she said, yeah, absolutely. I'm not using it.
Starting point is 01:22:24 So this is a temporary bag while you buy a new bag. I don't know. I really like it. No, look at him. He's put it on his back. So it's a bright yellow. It's yellow on yellow. It's Pikachu yellow.
Starting point is 01:22:32 It's Pikachu yellow. Pikachu yellow bag covered in little Pikachus. Little Pikachu faces. Like the pattern is Pikachu faces. Yeah, all the different little Pikachu emotions. It's so obnoxious. It's hideous, isn't it? Pikachu.

Ah. Oh, so it's legit. It's a far, far off. It's not legit because everything's already fallen out the bottom.
Starting point is 01:23:46 Right. But it was a fake Fjallravenkronk Oh I like my I like this Pikachu bag No And it's also small It's made for a small human So the straps Are like up by your nipples

No, because people love Pokemon. Yeah, people are... They came for his Pokemon and the people revolted. Okay, well, we should put a poll up to see what the nation thinks
Starting point is 01:24:32 and then deal with this tomorrow. Maybe instead of like, should Vaughn keep this bag, it'll be like, would you wear this bag? Yes. Because then they need to look, they'd be like,
Starting point is 01:24:39 oh yeah, but Vaughn, he's a quirky, fun guy. Would you wear this bag? Or what about if the question was, does Vaughn look ridiculous in this Pokemon backpack? Yay or nay? And then it's a quirky, fun guy. Would you wear this bag? What about if the question was, does Vaughn look ridiculous in this Pokemon backpack? Yay or nay? And then it's a side on.
