The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. Thanks to McCafe, try the refreshing McCafe iced coffee. It's available now at Macca's. We've started Bun Me Fridays. Bun Me, I know it's only Monday, but god damn it, I'm already looking forward to Bun Me Friday.

I had to fly to New Plymouth for the weekend, so I missed Bun Me Friday. You did come into the Bun Me place. Have a look. Oh, I had a sniff. New Plymouth for the weekend, so I missed Bunme Friday. You did come into the Bunme place. Have a look. Oh, I had a sniff. Sniff around. Delicious. And then you left.

Yeah. But what happened on the way to the Bunme place? Which you also missed. Which you also missed. It made me laugh. Vaughn and I were walking out the front door. I was wearing my Charlotte Hornets jacket. Yeah.

Looking fucking swishy shit. Flyer. Did you wear that to the 21st? No, it was too hot. Oh, thank goodness. Yeah, you can't wear a big padded. It would have popped, though. It would have popped. Oh, yeah. They would have loved it.

Anyway, as we're leaving, we pass, and I was like, who's that? Yeah, me too. I was like, I really recognize that person. And he goes, oh, g'day, mate, directly to Vaughn. And then Vaughn goes, oh, g'day, mate, how are you? And they walk past and I was like, that's Christopher Luxon. Wow, okay. And then I immediately was like, why are you so familiar with him?

He over-familiarised himself with me. Oh, g'day, mate. I say that to everybody, g'day, mate, how are you? Like, that's just what I say. I don't care how you are, but that's what I say. Have you met him, though? No. Because he saw you, recognised you, and then sort of became interested.

We were both looking at, it was Nicola Willis that threw me, because she was kind of on the inside of him. Why were they doing a media thing? If you're listening from overseas, this is the leader of the opposition, the National Party, and his right-hand gal. Right-hand gal, I didn't mean that. It sounds like condescending. And his little lady that helps him with the bra.

Does she do the cooking? Does she? Does she do the cooking? I'm assuming she's on sandwiches and such. Yeah, she does the clubs, the club sandwiches. If the boys need a plate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.

So he's the leader of the opposition. And they were going to, I'm assuming they were going to Newstalks. They'd be upstairs. Right. I saw Bogsy. Was he meeting with them? Oh, yeah. Bogsy was, I think Bogsy. Was he meeting with them? Oh, yeah.

Bogsy was our CEO. I think Bogsy came down and had a hello. Greeted him. Yeah, right. Surprise, surprise. The CEO of a company likes the right wingers. I was just blown away that he was so familiar with you. Yeah.

To me, you don't feel like his audience. I think even though I was wearing a hat, A, he was really, really vibing my charlotte hornet's jacket because it's the same color as any new zealand colors in the 90s right but he had a real teal yes vibe and he used to be the um ceo of that airline he mentions that quite a bit he does um and uh i think it was that and he could tell as a bald brother and so there is this sort of unspoken sort of Freemasons. Yeah. Yeah, thumbs up.

Thumbs together. A meeting of the thumbs. Because I, of course, was absolutely ignored. Well, you are a woman. I am a woman and I've got greenie written all over me. He probably assumed you were to me as Nicola Willis's. You're a bit on the side that does the sammies. Sammages and finance.

Me and her should have connected and be like, well, have I got a recipe for you? Yeah. Boy, do I know how to whip up an egg salad. Oh, eggs make Chris a little tootie, and he can't get tootie if he's going on media. Oh, bugger. Or my Vornay.

No, he loves that. Oh, he loves these. Oh, he loves it. A bit of char. Iron guts. You're going to do it. Mustard powder. Okay, if we are tapping on this egg salad chat,

I'm excited about egg salad now. Yeah. Do you do a good egg salad? I do a bloody good egg salad. Tell me. I keep it simple, though. Yeah. So don't hard boil the eggs.

You've got to keep them slightly golden, slightly goo. Okay. So soft boil, but a little bit more than soft boil because you don't want to run any. Right. And then good quality mayo, either your best foods or I dare say your Kewpie. Oh, I love the Kewpie mayo. That's the only mayo I use now.

Yep. Salt, plenty of pep, bit of parsley, a little bit of spring onion. And mash the egg or slice the egg? Mash the egg. Mash it, just a rough chunky mash. But not to a creamy consistency. Okay. You're not putting, you're not decorating it with anything else?

Bit of Tate in there or anything like that? No, no, no, no, no, no. Get your carbohydrates away from me. Oh, okay. It's an anti-carb situation. Let me see how it is. You're talking about a potato salad. Well, no, a potato and egg salad.

Egg potato salad. I'm talking about an egg salad. What about a bit of mustard? Yeah. Not for it. I'm talking powdered, old school. You've sworn your mum's going to stick your thumb in your... Or curry powder

Yes, good stuff Yes, curry to egg How good's a deviled egg if we're speaking about eggs I'm going to boil you, I'm going to take your insides out I'm going to make them more delicious I'm going to pump them back in with an icing pipe Fuck, yum Yum, yum

Yum If you stop talking, the podcast can start. No, no, no, no, no. Actually, now you've brought up another idea of Bun Me Monday. Bun Me Monday. It works better because it's an M. Does that mean we're parking Bun Me Friday or we're doing two Bun Mes a week? No, leave it exactly where it is.

We're booking in the week with Bun Me. And then in the middle, perhaps we can do a pho. Oh. Wednesday. We're doing a pho. Oh. Pho Wednesday. We're doing a Vietnamese April. It's all Vietnamese food all the time. What do you look so concerned about? Oh, just this Zoom link that we're about to do has the wrong date on it,

but apparently it's working. Oh, okay. Well, we've got to Zoom. We've got to Zoom. All right, see you. Now, this is a Zoom that you've got to be inspirational. Good fucking luck. Oh, dear.

I'm in a series of dark places. I'm going to... No, I already did an inspirational Zoom last night. You're out of inspiration. And then they said, what have you had to overcome in your life? And I realised absolutely nothing. Because you're so privileged.

So incredibly privileged from day dot to the very end. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. That's blowing the budget, hasn't it? You just recoiled at Rachel saying that a sheet of jib board, the stuff on your walls in your house, $1,000 on Trade Me, a sheet.

I might have to think outside the box here. What about papier-mâché walls? I don't know if those are fire rated. Hard to get them smooth enough. Jeepers. I don't mind a textured wall. What did they used to do? You know, sometimes you see horse poo.

No, they do like slats of wood and then they'd plaster over that. Was that what they used to do in the old days? Yeah, you could have done that. You could see some old houses that are like... I'm going to be getting creative. I'm not paying a thousand... A black market for jib board.

Well, that's what. We've had to pull out the old wardrobe, new wardrobe going in. And, you know, everything was screwed into the jib on the wall. And I said, shut up. It was like archaeologists slowly opening the tomb of Tutankhamen. I was like, don't break anything. Because shit, if we break jib, we're in big trouble.

A couple of big holes. but I tell you what, if you're liberal enough with the plaster, they fill up a hole easy. But you know, I'm more or less a jib stopper now. The amount of plastering I did, filling up them holes. But I tell you what, saved me the money. A YouTube how-to. Yeah, so many flat inspections.

I have no idea there was a hole in that wall. Absolutely not. It's the balloon one for me. Oh, yeah, so many flat inspections. I have no idea there was a hole in that wall. Absolutely not. It's the balloon one for me. Oh, yeah, that's a good one. You know the balloon one? If you punch a hole in the wall, punch a hole in the wall. If a hole ends up in the wall, however it ends up in the wall. Okay, it's revealing.

Will Smith. All right. You put the balloon in, and then you blow it up, and then you pull it, and then you use that as the backing for the plastic fill. Put like some cardboard or a block of wood back and then with a hole in it, a string, and pull that up against the wall. Wow. And then you can cut the string.

The hard part about that is if the hole's round, the wood you can get into that hole isn't going to be round. Oh, you can get it in. Hard to get them in there. I just hang a picture over it no matter how high or low the hole is. Yeah. Even if it's down the bottom. Just put a nice picture of the family there.

All right. Well, Secret Sound returns today, 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock, your next chances. All thanks to Neon. If you can identify our Secret Sound. What is this week? Three, four, three. I think it's week, three. That's the sound. Get through

it, seven. $50,000, the current jackpot. The top six is coming up. Yeah. Problems in space. Oh, big problems in space. Aliens, you see. No, Russia might be pulling out of the International Space Station because of ongoing political

divides. It was the political divide of the Cold War that got the bloody thing up there in the first place, the of ongoing political divides. It was the political divide of the Cold War that got the bloody thing up there in the first place. The space race. That was what everybody the Western

against Russia was the big race to get into space. And now we could be seeing another one because yeah they won out of the space station. So I've got the top six things

we New Zealand could add. Because we can launch we can launch a rocket. We've got Rocket Lab. Yeah. Did you see that scientists are thinking of sending nudes into space to try to attract aliens?

What, like nude pictures? Yeah, like thirst traps. Like pump. Like put them out just in case that's what the aliens are like. That's not an April Fool's story, is it? It sounds like an April Fool's story. It was only yesterday. Oh, okay.

If it is, they're too damn late. Okay. An alien opens up their laptop and... They'll be here within two weeks. Oh, that sounds... Whose nerds are we sending? Dunno. I'll volunteer as trivia.

Absolutely. What do we want from this? No one turns up. Aw. Seven past six. A whole universe of infinite possibilities and no one wants to see you

in person. That's rough. Up next, I'm going to tell you what the colour of your bedroom may be impacting. Well, mine's just plain white. Boring. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Why is this plain white? Boring. Now, you've said that you've got a white-on-white house.

Yeah. The colour of your walls, everything's white. Everything's white. You've got... Our last house, we had grey. We had like a light grey. And when Sade proposed it, I said, this is craziness. Who are we?

The bloody Kardashians? But it was actually really nice. It was nice. And people often commented, this is a nice, like, it's not white. Yeah. It's not wacky. It's just a nice grey. So it was a white-ish with a bit of grey.

It was a really light grey. It was a really light grey. Oh, no, lighter than really light grey. Was it on the Resene colour chart maybe? It definitely was on the Resene colour chart. Coming up later in the show we've got a $500 Resene voucher. But in our house now we're back to

white. All white. I think we made the decision in our last place that we were going to paint it like wild colours. Vaughan, you would have seen it when we were doing summer. Yeah, orange. We had an orange living room, a blue study, a pink bedroom, a peach hallway, a green spare room.

Jesus, you are. We just love it. We had so much fun with it. And we're doing the same now. Like not so, because it was like a mid-century house. So we went a bit sort of like 60s, 70s love it. We had so much fun with it. And we're doing the same now. Like, not so, because it was like a mid-century house. So we went a bit sort of like 60s, 70s with it. But now we're thinking of like really bold colours for our house because it makes me really happy.

But there's a, I think we know this already, but people are reminding us that the colours of your walls impacts your mood very much so. So what if you've just got white walls? You're dead inside. You're dead. You're just slowly dying. You just walk in and you're like,

you're slowly melting into a puddle. But one of the main, like the most important things that can affect is your sleep. The colour of your bedroom impacts your sleep. Lights are out. No, but it's about like

the setting of the mood when you're in the bedroom. Could I get one of those Philips light bulbs and a lamp? I want one of those. Multicoloured. Put on the red light when it's time for a bit of fun. Reading.

Yeah, reading. Or developing old school photos. Yes, or developing some photos. Well, our last bedroom was, we called it nipple pink. It was like this sort of peachy pink colour. Right. It was very warming, but apparently, according to a feng shui expert, Angie Cho,

she says that the best colours to paint, the top three best colours, a soft blue is great for obvious reasons. For relaxation. It's very calming. Yeah. Calms the mind, the mood, the nervous system. Help you wind down for a good night's sleep. If you're a renter, perhaps, and you can't paint the walls,

you should maybe do some, like a duvet in that colour. Okay. The other colour is a sage or mint green. Ooh, okay. I love my greens. Yeah, I could see you doing that. Same thing, very calming nature vibes. It helps you sort of get out of a technological world

and calm down a bit. And then the last one, which surprised me, is beige. Oh. Beige walls. They say it creates balance and eliminates distractions. I guess because it's so boring. Yeah. So you're not distracted by it. Yeah. You're not in a pink, a nipple pink

bedroom like I was. But then is all of this just irrelevant if you've got a giant 40 inch, 50 inch TV at the end of your bed? No, never. Don't put a TV in your bedroom. Do you have a TV in your bedroom? Yeah. That's sexless.

What do you watch on it? It depends what you watch on. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, this man is 49 years old and his name is Craig Buttfoy, which I think is a funny last name. I'm sorry. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I think he probably heard about it when he was a kid.

You too. Grow up. I don't know what, like, but is funny. Foy, I'm not sure why. I think it's just the combination of the two. But Foy. But, like, B-U-T-T? No, B-U-T-F-O-Y.

But Foy. Okay, one word, right. But Foy. Well, he's in jail anyway for 12 months. What did he do? Well, he lied about his experience as a pilot to get a job with British Airways. Wow. How was he? How very catch me if you can.

Yeah. Was he somewhat of a pilot? How do you mean somewhat of a pilot? I've dabbled in pilotry. He'd been in a plane. He had like done little plane stuff. Yeah, so he kind of knew a little bit. But not like

he claimed to have 1600 hours experience as a captain of a commercial jet. Right. Like a 737 or an A320. It doesn't list exactly what he claimed to. But yeah, one of the ones that carries passengers.

Right. Or maybe an AT300. Which airline is this? He tried to get a job at British Airlines. So how did they catch him? How did they catch him out? Well, they looked into him at some stage. Well, because he didn't actually get the job at British Airways.

Right. But he applied for the job, and lying on your CV when you're likely to get a job where you're literally going to have hundreds of people's lives in your hands every day. That's crime enough. I wonder what the plan was if he got the job and then he got rostered on. Maybe it was just to phone in sick and then just use the staff benefits. Like, you know, get cheap flights. I reckon fake it till you make it.

Yeah. That's wild. But you've got to do like simulator training and all of that jazz. But do you have to do the simulator training to become a pilot and then you just... It's ongoing. It's ongoing. So he could be like, oh, I might need a bit of a refresher on the 737. Yeah.

But I doubt they'd give anyone a job without seeing them to a simulator first. Oh, absolutely. Because then there's no way that they'll let someone through. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. You put them in the simulator and see how well they do, right? That's not the kind of job you lie about. You lie about, like, I've got experience in fashion. I know how to do Microsoft Excel.

Yes, yes, yes. You lie about that because you can quickly Google. I've got Photoshop skills. Yeah. That's a hard one too. Nah mate, magnet tool. Yeah, magnet tool. Paint. That magnet tool. The paintbrush. Fiverr.

You just get someone to do it for $5 overseas. Somebody had a job right and they were just putting it all on Fiverr yeah but then you know they were getting these jobs done

they'd be allocated two days to get the job done or two days worth of pay yeah and as soon as they got it they'd put it on Fiverr

and be like this needs to be done ASAP and it'd get done in a day and then they'd have a day and they'd pay them probably a bit more than five but significantly less

than what they were charging out to the company they worked for. Yeah. It's genius. So he's gone to prison. Yeah, 12 months. Oh, jeez.

Is it a thing just like, what if you were lying in a marketing job? Would you go to prison? No, no, no, no, no. It would be because of the risk involved. Civil Aviation Authority. You know, the people that are always like the Civil Aviation, when you get on a plane,

they're like, the Civil Aviation Authority says this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who are these faceless... Car! Yeah, right. Well, they're just sitting there imprisoning people. Yeah, chucking them in jail. Well, people are going crazy for a £25.

So this story from the UK, I'd say, what's that, about $50 New Zealand dollars? $50 mark, yeah. It's still around double. A couple's duvet. Now, I guess if you're single, you could use this too, because what makes this duvet special is that it's a half and half. So it's one half cool, less filling, less down filling, and one half warm.

That's genius. Because do you find that your gigantic fiance, Aaron, does he like a colder or a hotter duvet? Well, he actually prefers to fall asleep warmer, but then he'll push them off, whereas I like to fall asleep cooler and then pull them on. So we'd have to do a middle of the night switcheroo. Like a full 180.

A flip. A flip. Yeah. But that's genius because I just find it bizarre that we even share beds with people. It's not right. There's no way. There's no way that people are supposed to be sleeping in the same bed with the exact same circumstances. Entirely different points.

Someone doesn't like a spoon. I don't like a spoon. I don't like a spoon. I don't. I love a spoon for a while, but then absolutely. Get away from me. Get off. What are your thoughts on this hot and cold duvet? Would this work for you? No, we run pretty similar.

Pretty similar. Yeah, I would just get a leg out if I need to cool down. Yeah. Yeah, pop a foot out. Yeah. Snuggle a bit more blanket underneath. So I don't know what a tog, what's a tog? 4.5 tog and 10.5 tog.

Is that a? Thickness of. Oh, we do it by. Oh, yeah, thickness of goose down. Goose down. Thickness of goose. How thick was the goose determines. Yeah, but people apparently are absolutely raving and loving this.

And I've mentioned this before. I think the Europeans do it the best with two duvets on a bed. It's so unsexy though. It is very unsexy, but like... Just get separate beds. That's happening more and more these days. Yeah. With young people.

Totally. We're prioritising our sleep. You can even get mattresses that do this now though. Like you can get a half firm, half soft mattress. Right. So your partner might like more of a firm and you're a softy. Yeah. I'm just looking up the tog.

The tog is what does tog mean? A tog is essentially a measure of how effectively a duvet insulates heat. Oh, okay. British units, a tog. He, he, he, he. Okay, it's officially recognised. Does it mean thickness of goose?

British units. The measure of thermal insulence in an area. I can't see what it stands for. Thermal octane give. I believe it's the thermal octane give. That'll be it. Oh, thermal overall grade. Ah, there we go. I was close. Yeah, were you? The thermal octane give. That'll be it. Oh, thermal overall grade. Ah, there we go. I was close.

Yeah, were you? Thermal octane give. The name comes from an informal word togs for clothing. Did you know that? Togs for bathing suits. Yeah, that's what I thought too. Which in itself is derived from the word toga, a Roman garment, the backronym. Oh, of course.

Oh, so, no, no, no, so they've backronised it. Right. Where there was a word and they've given it an acronym. Right. Which they have said stands for thermal overall grade. But that was just called the TOG before. And it's not just for duvets.

It's for thermal insolence. A thermal insolence, yeah. Right. Well, I guess if we don't sell these here in New Zealand and you can't be bothered Amazoning it, you could just probably sew together a couple of singles from Briscoes, right? Yes, you could get a big thickie and a little thingy.

And then that makes a queen? And that makes a queen or a king? Does it? I don't know. How? Is two singles a queen? What's the worth of a single? Is two singles a king?

Bit of an overlap there, but you could easily do your own. Get the duvet domes. Oh my god, the duvet domes. That'll keep the duvet in place. So a single bed is 92. Yeah. So double would be 184. What's 184? You're going right up. Everybody knows whatever duvet

you got has to be the size bigger than your bed. So you get some overhang. It's a king. 183 is a king. Oh, wow. So two singles is a king. That's why at a hotel you can have two singles in a room or one king and they, like, push them together. Yeah, but there's that big bloody split in the middle.

I hate that. But that's good because you just said before people shouldn't be sleeping on the same bed anyway. I hate sleeping on the same bed as someone. It gets them away from you. Yeah, it does. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

These, what do you call it? This isn't a joke. What do you call it? You know, on Facebook, when you're on your phone and you're on the Facebook app and a video pops up and it's like a suggested video. Yes. And then you click on that and then it kind of takes you to that next tab in the mobile app

that's like watch. Oh, yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean? All the videos, yeah. This one. So yeah, you click on the video and then automatically it takes you to watch

and then, oh, what's that? And then you're just... That guy's going to make a Japanese knife. Oh my God. Flip it, flip it around. Oh, he's making it of screws. He's going to melt

these screws down and make a knife out. Oh, now I want to see that. But I do this. That's going to be good stuff. You're just scrolling through your feed. You find a video, and then you just scroll. It takes a while, and when it finishes, it just chucks the next one up.

Are these reels? Yeah, they've been very cunning. They're putting all the reels in the videos in the feed now. Reels are shorter, though. It's very easy to get hooked into an endless cycle. Yeah. I love it. So I got deep into people buying old tools and stuff and restoring them.

Oh, don't they soak them in coke or something? They soak them in all sorts of stuff. Sometimes they'll run a current through and it bubbles off all the rusty stuff. And then I was like, why don't they just sandblast from day dot with a little sandblasting thing. They put their hands in the rubber gloves. Yeah. We can't, too much chunky rust in there,

it ruins the sand for sandblasting because it cycles through. Oh, of course. That's what I learned. You got to get rid of most of it first. So I watched a ton of those. Right. But at the weekend,

I don't even know why it suggested it, but I knew. It was like, I bought this car at auction and it had been abandoned. And it was just, and he's like, he left the windows down, didn't he? And it was this car. And you're like, oh, no, heck, what'd you buy that for? Yeah. This guy's a professional, like, deep car cleaner.

Oh, yeah, that's hot. And a professional, like, deep car cleaner. Ooh, yeah, that's cool. And so he, like, takes everything out. He takes the seats out and, like, cleans them. He, like, shampooed them and then he, like, steamed them and then he used one of those, like, deep vacuums and... Ooh. And that came out looking good. Love it.

And then he just did it to the whole car. He deep cleaned everything in the car. Does he show you the dirty water from the back? Well, he shows how when he takes things out and he's, like, steaming it and it's, like, blowing through. Because he takes you the dirty water from the back? Well, he shows when he takes things out and he's like steaming it and it's like blowing through because he takes the door panels off

and everything. Does he show you how many M&M's and nuggies are down the seat? Yeah, cold chips. Yeah. This thing had been

left outside with the windows open so I think if it had nuggies they probably would have been yummed up by a possum or something. Would have got its way

in there. But then I was like, oh my God. And at the end of it he's like, and now I sold it. And he shows how much money he made basically by buying a car. And then cleaning it. Mechanically, he gets it checked apparently.

Right. And it's like, all right. It's just real grubby. So he's not doing anything under the bonnet. It's all inside cleaning. He might get a little bit of something done under there. Right. To get it running properly again.

It's all aesthetics. You just get into a hole of watching this guy clean cars. So he did one and I was like, that's amazing. And then he did another one and he's like, this one's, you know, it's got its problems. And I was like, oh, mate, it's screwed. Talking to myself watching it. Yeah.

And then he gets this one was like a ute, like a little truck. And it had bad paint and everything. And I was like, no, you've got the outside to deal with now. It's not just the inside. He cleaned out the inside. Then he cleaned the outside.

Right. Then I realised I'd been watching him do these car videos for about an hour and a half. But it was so satisfying when he got the little, the steam thing

seemed to be my, it was like a water blaster but for steam. So everything wasn't soaking wet. I mean, it was still wet, but not soaking wet. Those guys clean the rugs. I don't know why those videos just pop up all the time. And you're like, that rug is so dirty.

And they just hose it down and they sweep it all into those little gutters. Oh, my God, I love the rugs. I also love the pools being cleaned. The pool clean one. I watched a lot of pool cleaning ones. Tombstones being cleaned very very cool driveways when they water blast yeah time oh yeah i watched one of those at the weekend some guys like oh this one's in a real state and it was like this courtyard that three different

houses shared yeah and he said a water blast this is gonna come up mint disappointed all right at the end of it it didn't sparkle i'm so sorry weird weird that we love watching these videos but yet if you had to clean a driveway or a car, there's no way you'd want to do it, is there? I'd do a driveway, and I really enjoyed when I water blasted the deck before I stained it. That was so gratifying. Is that the word I'm on?

Satisfying. Satisfying, yeah. You just watch it, and you're like, oh. You watch it go under dirty, and it comes out the other side clean. That was good. Yeah, I love that. But the car, this guy had a certain set, oh. You watch it go under dirty and it comes out the other side clean. That was good stuff. Yeah, I love that. But the car, this guy had a certain set of skills. Why is it so satisfying?

It's like pimple popping. You're just like, yeah, clean it up. Because pimple Bob is not done until she gets the sack out. She pops the pimple and then she digs out the sack that the pimple was growing in. She's not done until you see that sack getting dragged out of the hole. Oh, I don't know why I brought it up. Sorry if you're eating breakfast right now. Yeah, good morning.

From the self-driving ZM think tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. The director of the Russian space agency Roscosmos. Roscosmos. Roscosmos. His name is not Cosmos. No, no, no, no, no. The agency is called Roscosmos. I thought you said there was his name.

Ross. Ross. It's very Russian name. Roscosmos. No, that's the space agency. My name is Roscosmos. The partnership at the International Space Station will be halted until

illegal sanctions against Mother Russia are lifted. That means getting people there using their launching pad and their rockets and everything is going to be paused. This is our chance to get in there. Let's get in there. We've got some rockets.

We've got a rocket lab. Yeah. Let's chuck some. All that money we were going to spend on the America's Cup, we should, well, we should probably use it to fix a whole bunch of problems before we give it to the rockets. But we're definitely giving them a bit. Yeah.

Make some bigger rockets. I don't think our rockets can dock with the space station though, can they? No, it's because of the different docking ports. Oh, okay. It's like when you go can dock with the space station though, can they? No, it's because they've got different docking ports. Oh, okay. It's like when you go to America without the adapter plug to come plug in here straight. Yeah, you're useless.

Yeah. But I think we'd be great space station partners and these are the top six things we, New Zealand, could add to the space station. Okay. Number six,

wool seat covers. Oh, yes. Because we've got, you know, the best wool and, you know, at the moment, wool's not worth much, yes. Because we've got, you know, the best wool. And, you know, at the moment, wool's not worth much. Velcro them down? Yeah.

Famously quite cold in space. Cold when it needs to be, warm when it needs to be. Wool, ladies and gentlemen, a wonderful insulator. Marino. Number five on the list of the top six things we could add to the International Space Station. Pies. Oh, yum. Would we have a pie warmer like in the dairy?

That'd be a mess. The flaky pastry. Sloppy mints. You've got to contain the flakes. It would be like when you're eating and driving and you don't want pastry all over your lap. You've got to suck and bite. You go... Suck in all the flaky pastry,

but then you might get a... Especially when it's hot, eh? Yeah. That's a blow-suck bite. Also, you don't want like... Blow-bite suck don't want rogue mince and cheese on the buttons and panels. No, don't they suck all their meals out of a bag? Leave it in the bag then and eat it slowly out of the bag. And then screw the bag up at the end and contain all the pastry.

I'm going to say it. I'm usually in support of you, but that seems like a disaster to me. You don't think Python Space is a great idea? Where's the tomato sauce? Where's that gonna go? That would be a great name for the comedy TV show, Pies in Space. And it's about Kiwis in space. Yeah.

I can see it now. We'll get Reece Darby. He'd be great. We'd be a bloody full not to. Murray in space. Eating a pie. Oh no! Oh no Some New Zealand reference to why this has gone wrong Sure

Oh no, my mince and cheese has got in the control panel Number four On the list of the top six things we could add to the space station If Russia pulls out Pump water bottles Because they bottle those, that beautiful blue spring. Oh, they do. Down there.

Down, down, down. Huta. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. I was going to give that one to Otorohanga now. I realise how wrong I was because they've got Kiwis. They've got Kiwis.

Yeah, they've got Kiwis. They've got Kiwis. And a Macca's that gets a pounding when people are driving through to the ski slopes. Oh, my God. That Macca's gets a pounding. That Macca's gets a pounding there. Number three on the list of the top six things we could add to the space slopes. Oh my God, yes. That does get a pounding. That does get a pounding there. Number three on the list of the top six things

we could add to the space station if Russia pulls out are pine trees. Do they need pine trees? Do they need wood? Or maybe at least a pine freshener we could hang from the rear vision.

Yeah, we could chuck that. Essence of pine. Yeah. Yeah, because I just said, we're exporting all these pine trees. We could make a couple of spear. Could we build a ship out of pine? out of pine.

It would burn up on re-entry. Lovely. Interior though. It could be an interior thing. It could be another episode of Pies in Space. Like a Lockwood ship. Yes, the interior of the ship is Lockwood. It'll creep to high hell.

When they go around the earth And they're out of the sun It'll go It's only a Lockwood home If you've never been In a Lockwood home When there's been A temperature change At the end of the day

You might not know What I'm talking about But the wood all gives A good creak And when you're home alone It sounds like the house Itself is screaming Those homes

Are classic Kiwi homes Classic Well that's what There you go There's your jib solution We go back to Lockwood. Hey, you want to varnish your walls? Yeah.

No. Well, I love what I'm spewing. Hey, expose timbers back in now, guys. Wood panels. Yeah, but not the whole damn house. Not the whole puzzle fit together house. I used to think that was so cool when I was a kid. Same.

The idea that to build a wall, someone just tongue and grooves, put a wood on top of each other and nailed it. I just thought that nothing would be cooler. Like a cabin. Yeah. Had a very cabin vibe. Number two on the list of the top six things

we could add to the space station if Russia pulls out, lamb chops. Oh, yum. Chuck a couple of chops on the barbecue up there. You'd have to, again, you'd have to overcook them, though. I know you like your meat rare. Why would I need to overcook them? Because it'll be too juicy.

Oh, too much juice. You need it dry. What if there was a meat, I'm just thinking pies and lamb chops. What if there was like an area, you know when you're going into an aviary and you've got to go through, shut one door before you can open the next so the birds don't get out. What if there was some sort of airlock system for where you could eat meat and pies

and flaky pastry and stuff? And then at the end, when you got back into the safe, but you pushed the button and it ejected into space. Or could you pop a pie or a lamb chop in a blender, blend it up,

because you're still going to get the flavour. You could, that's yuck. Pop it in like one of those yoghurt sucky pouches and you think it's a little bit cleaner. Yeah, good idea. Good idea. Totally could. And number one on the list of the top six things we you need to get something a little bit cleaner. Good idea. Totally could. And number one on the list of the top six things we could add to the space station

if Russia pulls out fresh milk. Oh, yeah. We'll go, we do so much milk. We export so much milk. We could totally get a little anchor, little vending machine, little anchor packets. You wouldn't spill it either because it could have a little straw sucky pouch. Like feeding a baby lamb. Yes.

They could just get there. That could work as well. That is today's top six. Well, there's a guy in Derby. Derby. I can't do a Derby in accent. In the UK. In the UK.

Who, he thought, you know what? Life's too short, treat yourself. And the way he did it was he went and bought a Ferrari. He was like, you know what? I don't think most of us can say life's too short, go treat yourself, buy a Ferrari.

Treat yourself. Yeah, treat yourself. Get a facial. Maybe a second hand Mazda 3. Absolutely. I lovehand Mazda 3. Absolutely. You know I love a Mazda 3. I'm on my second Mazda 3 and I'll be replacing it with a third. But he was like, I'm going to get a Ferrari. Pulled it out of the Ferrari shop. Yeah.

The dealership. Ferrari and things. The Ferrari. Bed, bath and Ferrari. And he in less than two miles totaled it. Absolutely crashed it. Like written off.

Like torn up the front, the whole on it. Two miles from Ferrari Mark. Two miles from Ferrari Station. Oh my god. He just absolutely caned it. That's going up the rear of someone. He was on his phone, wasn't he? Yes, and he wasn't on his phone,

but he was like totally unprepared to drive a Ferrari and they're incredibly powerful vehicles. And so he just like put his foot down like you would say in a Mazda 3, expecting it to go from first to second to third in a general light, easy fashion. A slow, either building acceleration. And instead it just like absolutely zoomed from underneath his feet.

And he has smashed it. Oh, wow. Now, before you buy a car, you're supposed to insure the car before it leaves the lot. Yeah. Oh, please tell me he'd done that. I'm just going to check. I did mine online.

Yeah, you can. Yeah, when we were going to pick up the chimney. As I was driving to pick up my car. Well, Sade was driving, so I was doing it on my... Oh, I was... You were driving. No, I'm kidding. That's great for your insurance.

I want it. Are you currently driving? We can tell from your GPS location you're currently driving. Yes. Are you the only person in the car? Yes. We will not insure you. It doesn't say whether or not he was insured.

You're hoping. You must have been. Surely. Also, I feel like if you can afford a Ferrari, you can afford another one. You don't pick up a Ferrari from Ferrari World without an insurer. No.

I love Ferrari World. Well, people are absolutely tearing him apart. Like, if you're going to buy a Ferrari, you need to be able to drive a Ferrari. You need to know what you're in for. Well, and this is where we get our tall poppy syndrome from, from the British. Absolutely. They'd be loving mowing this guy down.

How hard is that? Would you assume that a Ferrari like that, like this is a very sporty, red, classic looking Ferrari, would be a manual? Yep. It would, because you drive a car. That's put me off a Ferrari. Or maybe you were considering it otherwise.

Maybe it's one of those flash ones that can do either or. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, I test drove one at any time Ferrari. They had that option. Right, okay. Well, I wanted to ask, because this would be absolutely terrible. Regardless of whether or not you're insured, I mean, if you're not, it's even worse.

But it's a real shame when you buy something. I love it when you watch those videos of people lining up for the iPhone, and then you see them and they're like... Or someone will buy it and smash it in front of them. That's cruel, man. Because those videos

where people smash brand new iPhones or Samsungs. That for me is what's wrong with the world. But that's for a different chat. People lining up to buy an iPhone just to smash it in front of people. But we want to know this morning when you've broken something brand new. Yeah, when did you buy something and then immediately break it? And like ideally something of like some expense or worth

or like something you'd waited for for so long drones oh yes they've got a lot of safety bits and pieces in them now yeah

it doesn't stop them running out of battery and crashing into the ocean doesn't stop you yeah you've crashed a couple into the ocean haven't you and in that time

I oh yeah well but to be fair the work one that was supposed to be a waterproof one so waterproof why did it start smoking

when it ended up in the water? That's my question. Great question. You know it's bad when it's on fire and underwater. How are you on fire and underwater? That's amazing. I don't think you're putting that in a bag of rice hoping it comes back to life.

All right, give this call 0800DARLS at M. You can text as well, 9696. When did you buy something and then immediately break it? Well, a man in the UK treated himself. He was feeling, you know, he was feeling a bit generous to himself, and he treated himself by buying just a Lamborghini. No, a Ferrari, sorry. Yeah, I thought you said Ferrari.

A Ferrari. No, I'm going to buy a Lamborghini. Oh, yeah, of course. That's when I'm going to treat myself. He bought a Ferrari. I saw an Aston Martin at the weekend. Oh, yeah? If we're talking what supercars, like, posh as...

I thought that looked pretty good. I don't know if it's the Kiwi in me, but every time I see someone in a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, I'm just like, who do you think you are? We had drinks the other weekend in Parnell, which, if you're not in Auckland, is a very fancy part of Auckland. The amount of Maseratis that were driving past. I was like, what? Anyway, this guy bought a Ferrari, Not in Auckland. It's a very fancy part of Auckland. The amount of Maseratis that were driving past. Yeah.

I was like, what? Anyway, this guy bought a Ferrari, and within two miles of driving, he crashed it. Total. So we asked you, when did you buy something and then immediately break it? Mitchell, what did you buy and immediately break? Come on.

Morning. Good morning. So I bought a motorbike, and this was like a week after I got my basic handling tests and license. Oh, okay. I only just got my motorbike learners. Me and my friend had gone to pick up a motorbike that I bought from Todonga, and I was driving the bike home that night,

and we were going through Hamilton and it was like, I think Cobham Cambridge Drive, coming around this sweeping corner I'm like trying to pass my friends and it's this two lane road and I'm coming to the inside near the island that's running through the middle. Oh no, no. I know and I'm slowly

veering across, I'm this learner, never driven a motorbike properly before. Oh no, oh Jesus! Coming towards the centre and then I get into the gutter and my bike, my wheel's catching and mucking all around and I can't control it. And then I black out and tumble in through the island and everything.

What? Mitchell! The very night that I brought my motorbike home, hours afterwards, no insurance. Oh! Mitchell! Mitchell! Okay, first question, were you okay? I miraculously, I walked away with like some bruises,

a couple of strains, but nothing much. But my bike was gone. I remember coming to and the paramedics, you know, they had their arms under my shoulders and they were walking me across the road and I was like, where's my bike? Where's my bike? And I was completely confused.

And one of the dudes was like, nah, man, that bike's gone. It's gone. It's gone. Dude. And you, please tell me you didn't buy another motorcycle. Oh, I absolutely did. Mitchell. Oh, my gosh.

Mitchell. Good God, Mitchell. Get it insured. Do your parents give you, we sound like parents. Yes. Do your parents give you a bloody lecture? Nah, they just, they were just worried. Oh my God.

You sound like a bloody worried Mitchell. You're overtaking people on your first ride. Yeah, I think the key is to go to Rarotonga and get a full licence, isn't it? And come back and... Does that still work? Oh, really? You drive around the block and they give you a... I hope not.

I should, I hope not. Mitchell, thanks for your call. Good that you're alive. Anonymous. What did you buy and immediately break? Good morning. So my partner and I bought our first ever car that we paid cash for, which was very exciting.

And then I was very careful to insure it on the side of the road before we drove it home, which was wonderful. We got home and then the next night we fancied going for a bit of a drive and I said to my partner, no, no, you drive. And he immediately reversed it into the neighbour's garage. Oh, no. Yeah. We then made quite a hefty insurance claim before we'd even paid the first premium instalment.

Oh, my God. So, shout out to AA. Wonderful people. Wow. I'm surprised they didn't ban you after that. Yeah. They do refer you to a special team. Oh, yeah.

Oh, you've got the special team. The special team, yeah. And then they met you and they're like, yep, no, they've reversed it. The special team, do you have to prove that you didn't just get insurance after you'd crashed it? Because it's such a good claim. No, no, they were actually really nice about it.

Like, it was, yeah. Considering how embarrassing it is. I think they could sense that I was, you know, I was angrier than they were. Yeah, they were like, let's just pay it out. He's going to get it from her. We'll just leave them alone. Anonymous, thanks.

You're cool. Dale, what did you break immediately after buying? Oh, hi, guys. It wasn't me. It was my 16-year-old daughter, and it was nowhere near as dramatic as the motorbike. Jesus. That's a motorbike. Jesus. That's a mum.

That's a mum. Jesus. That's a mum. Yeah. The rule in our house was that the kids, we spot them their first cell phone and then after that if they want to upgrade, it's all on them.

She did the whole upgrade thing, was really excited. Walking down to the Spark Shop with her mates to get the whole contact thing switched over, took it out of the box to show them and dropped it and the screen was blipped. Oh no! Took her a solid hot minute to actually

confess to us what had happened. I was like, mate, you dumbass, that's your money, not mine. Do you have insurance if you haven't paid for it yet? I mean, how does it? Oh, no, she paid for the phone. She was just getting the contact check sent over.

Great lesson, great lesson learned there, Mum, though. You didn't even have to teach her that one. She taught herself. And she's still rocking an iPhone 3 now. You know, she's got the curvy edges. Oh, the curvy edges. Dale thinks you called some messages in. I had been waiting patiently for a pair of coveted,

wide-plated GHD hair straighteners. I used them once on the day they arrived before my six-year-old thought it would be an awesome idea to straighten her Bratz dolls hair. And it all melted all through it and completely ruined them. I just got my 2016 Nissan Leaf. You got your electric vehicle there. Yeah, good.

Petrol prices are the way they go, and your cost of petrol has just dropped through the floor. However, it. Petrol prices are the way they go and your cost of petrol has just dropped through the floor. However, it only took three sets of traffic lights to be rear-ended by an old lady in her tank of a car. Bent the back chassis.

My insurance hadn't been confirmed yet and she had no insurance. But you still don't have to pay for it. She does. She does, but good luck getting it out of her. You get it one worth a week. Pay you out in worth as.

My husband bought a $2,000 drone. He took it to his friend's house to show off. He refused to read the instructions. One hour and 15 minutes, he got started. Ten minutes after that, he flew it into the side of the house and it smashed. All because he accidentally put it in sport mode. Yeah, sport mode is where it stops the alerts happening.

But you can go way faster. Yeah, that's for the pros. That's not a first day thing. Yeah, I've never seen so many grown men so quiet. It was as if they'd just witnessed a horrific crime. Yeah, lots of people. My nephew bought a large toy helicopter for Christmas, decided to take it for the spin.

Didn't remove the last tab at the back, so the back blades didn't spin. So it had no stabilising and it just went up and then flipped upside down and smashed straight into the ground and exploded. It's like that video, remember, that went viral of the kid with a fairy dancer who pulls the cord and the fairy flies up and then flies into the fireplace. Flies into the open fireplace. I used to work at Noel Leeming and one day a customer came in

and purchased an Xbox and a laptop at the same time. Two weeks later, they were back as they had been sitting on this broken laptop and Xbox for a little while. They were taking the Xbox out of the box and it dropped and fell onto the laptop. So it was a double claim. And I said, why did you take so long to come back in? And they said, purely just out of the embarrassment of the fact that I broke it on the actual day I purchased it. I would have gone to a new store.

Yeah, same. A different store. Or check the rosters and make sure the person you bought it off definitely wasn't on the counter still. Clitch, Fawn and Hayley's Community Notices. Hello and welcome to Community Notices, a segment of the show where we have a look at what's happening around New Zealand according to local Facebook pages. Yeah, your segment, you send these into us. So if you see anything on your local Facebook page,

screenshot it, send it to us, FVHZM, on Insta or Facebook. Easy. This one from the Waihi Community Information Grapevine. Jill says, hello, Waihi subway will be closed today, 4pm due to short staff. Sorry for any inconvenience. Brodie swoops in automatically with maybe hire some taller staff. Oh, Brodie. I saw that coming.

That was low hanging. Yeah. Another thing that the subway staff at Waihi can't get because it's low-hanging, but they're just not tall enough. I've seen this a few places from Wainuiomata, the dog poo bins. Dog poo bags only.

They've made them of metal, so they're made to last, but somebody's made a Vladimir Putin stencil, put that on and labelled them the Putin. I like that. Somebody said, I'm usually against graffiti, but the poo tin. I like that. I like that. Somebody said I'm usually against graffiti

but this seems fitting. I like the dog poo bins sort of shaped like a dog and you open the green one. Yeah, those are great. I saw one of them had been set on fire.

Yeah, that's I was just going to say That would smell like Yeah, you wouldn't be You wouldn't be able to set that Wainui Mata bin on fire. That's bloody metal. No.

Yeah, no, that's probably the good part about it. That's probably why it's like that. You know, a bit from Wainui Matara. Oh, they love arson. Quite fond of lighting things. Wainui loves a bit of arson. Let's go to Nelson, LostAndFoundPetsNZ. Pippi Longsocks writes,

Some will laugh at this, but today at Tahuna Beach, I was in the water with my daughter laughing and having fun when I obviously laughed too hard and my top denture fell out. I grabbed it, but then a big wave knocked me over and I lost the mat of my hand. So if anybody is taking a stroll and comes across some toothy pegs, I'm sorry, but waves there don't get any bigger than a foot. I thought it was a particularly like...

It's a pretty placid beach. Like you'd surely be able to have a look around. Maybe they were lying down. A bit foot. Yeah. I thought it was a particularly like... It's a pretty placid beach. Like, you'd surely be able to have a look around. Maybe they were lying down. Teeth must have been a bit loose. Yeah. People offering advice, like, you should insure your dentures.

Yeah. Helpful at this stage of proceedings. People love to hear that. They take a while, though. They're not an easy replace. Gotta get them all. No, yeah. Well, unless you order them,

then the place would have all your details on file, right? True. Is that something people do, like order two sets when they get them made, have a backup? If you've got the money, maybe. They're pretty expensive. Yeah, like an at-home and then like a going-out set.

Yeah. Might have like a diamante, you know, on the... Oh, yeah. The ones you don't smoke ciggies in. Yeah. Because you don't want the stains on them. The ciggy set. Yeah.

Ciggy and coffee set and then Gal About Town set. Okay. She goes on to say, shout out to anyone who wants to throw me a penny or two towards a new pair.

I need to start a give a little page. I can't afford three and a half thousand dollars again. Oh, okay. So you're not getting a backup with that price. As funny as the situation is,

my self-esteem has crumbled completely. It's not a nice look, let alone feel, looking like an 87-year-old granny at 34 years old. Could you get the metal detector in there at low tide? Didn't there be any metal in the teeth?

No, any metal? All because I was laughing too hard and frolicking through my daughter. I lost them from laughing in the ocean. I'll never do it again. She'll never laugh again? Don't be miserable in the ocean and I'll never do it again. She'll never laugh again? Don't be miserable in the ocean. It's a lovely place. When you're in the ocean, you can't be miserable.

No. Well, maybe somebody, maybe they washed all the way over to Australia. This is a loose segue to our next post. This comes to us internationally from the Wagga Wagga Buy Sell Swap and Free Goods page. Kenny says, for sale teddy bear with my grandfather's upcycled dentures, $60. Pick up, no holds.

Look at this god-awfully terrifying teddy bear. It's wearing like a... Tutu? Yeah, it's in a little ballerina's tutu. It's got teeth in its mouth hole. Oh, that's disgusting. And it's got like a lacy mask on. Yuck.

Like a masquerade ball mask. That's creepy. Kind of almost sexy vibes. You're into your... With your grandad's teeth. You love your taxi, do you? I mean, I'm surprised you're not... Chomping at the bit.

Yeah. Chomping at the bit on that. Sent over from Wagga Wagga. That's what people think when they see a ferret rat that you've got. Yeah, that's too... That's even too weird for me, and that's saying something. Yeah. And finally today, from the Buy and Sell New Plymouth in

New Zealand page, Pam writes, jigsaw puzzle help needed. And it's a photo of the picture she's trying to create with the jigsaw and what she's got so far. It's a circular jigsaw as well. So no hard edges there.

That's going to be a tough one. And so she posted that over a day ago. And one of the comments a day later says, from Lisa, says, Hi, did anybody offer to help you, Pam? And Pam just writes no. Oh, Pam. That's sad. I hope Pam's found the help she needs.

Let's end on a happy note. Okay. Vic deals. Jessie writes, Hi there. I hope he hasn't found the help she needs. Let's end on a happy note. Okay. Vic deals. Jessie writes, hi there, I'm looking for my Cinderella. I pumped into, now I believe he means bumped. Bumped into, yeah. Very different. I pumped into a lovely brie.

I pumped into a lovely brie as well. You know when it's there and it's been cooked? Yeah, I love a cooked brie. You can just get a cracker in there. It's like runny cheese. Yeah, you get pumped. Boy, you're not pumping into too much brie. Get a cracker in there. It's like runny cheese. Yeah, get pumped. Boy, you're not pumping into too much brie, are you? None of your business.

Bumped into a lovely brie last night at a gathering in Hanson Street. Had an Evie tattoo on her arm. That's Evie. That's a Pokemon. Not an Evie car. I thought, I also imagined a Nissan Leaf on her arm. Yeah, she's got a huge Nissan Leaf tattoo right up her arm. Nurse, good vibes got a huge Nissan Leaf tattoo right up her arm. Nurse, good vibes and killer smile.

She had some good laughs and great convo. I think her flatmates left and she went with them. Honestly, it was so tragic. How could Paul soul out? Evie, if you're out there with your... Oh no, her name's Bree. Not Evie. Evie's the tattoo she's got on her arm.

She's probably got a wheel of Bree on the other arm. Yeah. That's how she'd know. Get in touch with Jessie. She just wants to make that sweet, sweet love connection. Those are today's community notices. If you see anything on your local Facebook page

that tickles your fancy, screen cap it and send it to ours, FVHZM. So obviously Easter is just around the corner. This Thursday, it'll be a week Yeah and when we think of Easter

From a non-religious point of view We think of the Easter bunny Chocolate Chocolate eggs Hot cross buns But never have I thought of Easter crackers Like Christmas crackers Like that you crack open And jokes fly out of them.

No, that's a Christmas. What? That's a Christmas staple. Yeah, I would have thought so. Well, apparently that's a thing now. And this came up in the news because a woman bought some from Kmart in Australia, in Adelaide. So I just had a quick look on Kmart New Zealand. I can't see any Easter crackers.

It's all just bunnies and Easter crap. Well, then in Aussie they do because they cracked one open and it had a joke and a game like charades to act out. And these were definitely aimed at kids. And the mum got up in arms because the film they had to act out was Fifty Shades of Grey. Wow. That's not very Easter, is it?

Not very Easter. Not very child-friendly. Well, no, it is quite Easter. If you know the story of Easter, there was a fair bit of tying up. Whips and charms and chains. Yeah, right. Yeah, actually very Easter. Thorns of crown.

A bit of B&D going on there on the big hill there for the crucifixion. Fair call. I don't know if we would call the crucifixion of Christ BDSM, but who knows? Perhaps it was. Was there a tiny chocolate egg in this cracker? No, it was just like a hat, a toy, and a joke, and with a little game thing.

Was the cracker like an Easter bunny? Yeah, so it's like pink with a bunny on it. It's very Easter looking, but it's a Christmas cracker like an Easter bunny? Yeah, so it's like pink with a bunny on it. It's very Easter looking. But it's a Christmas cracker. I've looked into the history of Christmas crackers. It was by a London lollymaker, Tom Smith, who invented them. Because apparently the French used to have almonds wrapped in pretty paper with like a riddle inside them.

A scorched almond? I don't know if it was a chocolate covered almonds. It just says almonds wrapped in pretty paper. I mean, how disappointing would that be? Like I love an almond, but not if I'm expecting a candy. And what is it? Is it a tamari? Is it a roasted?

Honey plain maybe? Or is it just raw? Oh, not a raw almond. Oh my God, a raw almond. It stays in your mouth for days. And there'd be a little motto or riddle in there. Okay. And he brought them back and motto or riddle in there. Okay. And he brought them back and decided to start selling them in England

and no one liked them. So then he put the bang in them and the bang really got a bit of attention. I feel like traditionally he had a lolly inside the bonbon cracker. Right. There's a lolly and a riddle inside there and it banged. And then when he died, his son took over and he said, you know what, we need in here a hat. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And a stupid joke. It was Walter. died, his son took over and he said, do you know what? We need in here a hat. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And a stupid joke. It was Walter. No, the stupid joke was originally in there. Oh, was it? Okay. The stupid joke's always been in there. Or a motto or like a little inspirational saying. Walter was like, we should put a hat in there.

Oh, no. We should only have to suffer through those hats once a year. Yeah, not twice. So the Easter cracker had a hat? Of course it did. I don't know if it had a hat. Of course it did. It's just a redecorated Christmas cracker, right? Peel off the Easter cracker had a hat? Of course it did. I don't know if it had a hat. Of course it did. It's just a redecorated Christmas cracker, right?

Peel off the Easter bunny. I bet there's a Santa under there. What year was this invented? So it was in 1840 that he went to Paris. 1861 was when it first had the cracker part. I reckon back in the late 1800s, that crack would have been bang. Would have been like a bullet. He bought the little crack strips off a fireworks maker.

Oh, okay. He's someone that specialises in making fireworks. So it would have actually, it sounds like it would have been a proper like, light the fuse and then just pull. It's weird. I don't like it. I don't like it either.

I don't like it. It's not right.'t like it I don't like it either I don't like it It's not right We look forward to this We look forward to Christmas To have the Christmas crackers coming out And I love it Every year mum will be like I got the good ones

Oh yeah the bougie ones Oh yeah mum Mums pride themselves on a good cracker Yes in the opening You get a little pair of tweezers or something Yeah it's better than a little plastic dinosaur key ring That little set of like tiny screwdrivers that you're like, you'll never need that.

And then Dad's glasses need tightening, so you get out the little tiny screwdriver and tighten it up. I think we might still be using the same Allen key we got from a cracker years ago. God, I'd burn through Allen keys like nobody's business. While we're talking about Christmas crackers, 264 days till Christmas.

We're 100 days in? Is that 100 days in? Yeah. Isn't that wild? The foyer of Fletcher's building has been having some work. Oh, my God. Has it what?

It's looking nice. It's looking nice, but there's a problem. The new door has a new handle. Imagine my absolute disgust when I went to leave my apartment the other day and the lovely black door, the main door, black. I don't know how to describe the colour. I showed you a photo, just black. It's black. Yeah, it, black. I don't know how to describe the colour. I showed you a photo, just black. It's black.

Yeah, it's black. Not black, black, but just kind of like a charcoal. Like a midnight black, a charcoal. Yeah. And a lovely charcoal black door, main door into the foyer. Oh, that's lovely. Has a brown handle. A brown on charcoal.

It's not on, actually. I showed you both a photo. I'm livid. Can I see the photo again one more time so I can just reignite this fire? Can I see what kind of brown it is? Bad brown. Bad brown?

What would you describe that brown as? What is it made of? Metal? Yeah, it's a metal handle. Is that the old door and they've just painted the old door black? No, it's a new handle. It's a new door. But it? Yeah, it's a metal. It's a metal handle. Is that the old door and they've just painted the old door black? No, it's a new handle. It's a new door.

But it's not like it's a brass or like a bronze or something like that. No, no, it's not. It's not. It's matte brown. It's brown. Oh, and it doesn't match. On the black door. It feels like they might have picked up a good deal secondhand.

That's a good quality handle. You know how there are supply issues at the moment with everything? I'm like maybe thinking they went to the handle store and they were like, oh, we don't have any black handles, but we've got these ones. Handle store, do you need to open the door? Handle store, we've got so much more. It's handle store. There are white doors in the foyer that have black handles on them,

different kind of handles. You're all right with that. But they're black. I've got too many handles. I know, and now I'm just like. You've got too many handles. And then there are white I'm just like... You've got too many handles. And then there are white doors with those brown handles, but the black door, get a black handle.

So there's white doors with brown handles, white doors with black handles, black doors with brown handles. Yeah, I know. It's doing my head... And you're paying to live in this building? Who makes these decisions? I don't pay other people.

Aren't you a body corporate? I'm considering paying just for a new handle just so I don't have to see this every day. Oh, I don't think you should think twice about that. I think you need to go to Mitre 10 after this and get a new one and just replace it. Or take that handle off and go and get it powder coated. Oh, yeah, that'd be nice.

Waste not, want not. I mean, you know, when you look at everything that's going on in the world at the moment, you know, people suffering from long COVID. No, no, don't diminish this. This is made to happen. No, this is what started diminish this. This is major. People dying from COVID. No, this is what started the problems with Russia and Ukraine.

The door between the two countries. Had a brown handle. Had a brown handle on a black door. It just didn't go. Right. That'll start a war. So you're like my problem. You're the UN here.

You can solve this. You can't just complain about a brown handle when there's so much wrong with the world. Yes, you can. Yes, you can. And bigger problems. This is you can. And bigger problems. This is pretty major. Powder coatings for that, I reckon someone will do it.

For real cheap. Just take the handle off for the day and put a note up saying handle removed for repairs. Everyone that's in charge of repairs will assume somebody else in charge of repairs or somebody else doing repairs is taking it upon themselves to repair this broken handle and then you just put it back on.

Yeah, I can't deal with it. Even cheaper, I reckon just take a vivid to it. It'll take you a little bit of time, but you could absolutely colour it in. Or one of those really thick pens they use for tagging. Yeah, some graffiti pens. Yeah, AirTag pens. No, because that'll come off on people's hands. What about electric tape?

Black electrical tape. What about a tennis racket handle? You know how you buy... Oh, that'd be soft. Yeah, it'd be nice. It'd be soft on the hand. It'd be soft and be nice. So you'd replace the door handle with a tennis racket handle.

And you'd have a Dunlop door handle. A Wilson door handle. Great. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Do you remember when Kim and Kanye were first dating and Kim was still kind of like early 2000s trashy dressing with lots of sort of like braided gold belts and...

Sure. And shimmery things. Yeah. And then Kanye gave her like a full makeover. And everyone was like, that's problematic. But unarguably, she looks amazing. Yeah. Well, Kim has now Kanye'd Pete.

She's done a full wardrobe makeover for him because you know he was living in his mum's basement. Yeah, and famously loves track pants. Loves the track pants. Like just a lad, right? Like just goes out in a t-shirt and track pants. Yeah. Which I'm all for.

He still, I think, no, he doesn't still live in his mum's basement. He doesn't. But Kim's given him a major wardrobe makeover. If you can look at it, there, it's all colour coordinated. Oh, wow. Oh, gosh. It's all organised. There's some pastels in there.

I will say 95% of what I'm seeing is still tracksuits. It does look very tracksuity. It's tracksuit heavy. He's got a net worth of $8 million. He shouldn't be living in mum's basement. And if he is, he should be paying rent. No, he's looking after his mum because his dad died in September 11. His dad was a firefighter and he died in one of the Twin Towers.

And so he just stayed with his mum because she... No, but he bought a little house. Yeah, that she lives in. He calls it her house though. Oh, okay. Right. And he just lived in in. He calls it her house though. Oh, okay. Right. And he just lived in the basement to look after her. Well, they got this like impressive organising company called Spiff

to come in and do like this total thing. All new clothes, some swish stuff in there. I'm seeing some Vuitton. Oh, okay. Some Louis in there. Some designer. His old mates from Staten Island would be like, Pete's changed. Yeah, 100%.

They like when Pete was on TV and in the movies, but now Pete's dating Kim. Pete's changed, man. Absolutely. 100%. But even when he's like stepping out now, there's like a photo of them coming out and he's wearing this like nice woolen jacket.

He's got some Swiss shades on. He's wearing jeans. Yeah, he definitely looks like... What are jeans? Jeans. Jeans. Oh, jeans. I think it's how rich...

I thought jeans were some European footwear. No, they're just new to him because he's usually in a trackie. So she's Kanye'd him. And he does look, in those photos, looks pretty amazing, eh? I think Pete Davidson's so hot.

I think Pete Davidson's really hot. I think Pete Davidson's really hot. I'm just one of those women. I think he's a wizard. I think he's got magic powers. There's something about him. And also the rumours about that. That doesn't hurt, does it? Well, my...

Or does it? Probably would, actually. Anyway, regardless, he looks amazing. So I wanted to ask our lovely listeners, when you had to change your partner's look, maybe they were so, I don't know, behind in the times or just dressed like a scruffy bum and you sort of thought it was time for a zhuzh.

Either way, either genders, any genders. But when did you change their look? I'm trying to think if I gave... Did you get a bit of a zhuzhvorn from Sade? She zhuzhs you sort of actively. Remember even at the start of the year when we had your surprise on Why Hickey, she made you go and buy a linen shirt.

Oh, yeah, she does that sort of stuff. She went stroppy about it. I did not like it And now you rock your Birkenstocks all the time Yeah, the Birkenstocks are very comfortable In fact, she has actually Kanye'd you Hasn't she? Without you even knowing

She's definitely made my life a better place You can't live like you lived in your early 20s forever Somebody needs to show you the way You'd be in league jerseys and clear jeans if she hadn't found you. That's right, but it's been symbiotic, you know. Yeah, yeah. We've given each other stuff.

Yeah. Don't ask me what I've given each other stuff. How did you sort of shape Sade? Well, no, to be honest, she was a big, she'd tick up, if she wanted something, she'd just tick it up. Right. Like, you know, when she worked at Lippy.

Yeah. And Wild Pear. That's where she was working when we met. She was doing that classic thing where, like, 80% of her wages just went into buying stuff from the place she worked. I was just like, that's crazy. It's Hamilton economics. I was like, we've got to bust this out.

So, yeah, maybe you've had to change your partner's look or you had to work on something. Maybe they were always in tatty undies. Tatty undies. Or sat in boxes and you were like, you've got to start moving to some fitted boxes. Some nice firm briefs. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or maybe it was even a facial hair thing. You know, maybe they were scruffy in the beard and you had to teach them how to personally groom. Yeah. When did you help change their look? You may have noticed, slowly but surely, Pete Davidson's getting one hell of a makeover from Kim Kardashian.

Kim Car-fash-ian. But they've just released photos of his really new done wardrobe, which is an absolute, it's been Kanye'd. Still a lot of tracksuits. A lot of tracksuits, but I imagine they're all worth a lot of money. Yeah. And there's some more. The photos of them going out somewhere,

he wouldn't normally dress like that. He's wearing a woolen jacket. Yeah. And some strapping looking glasses. So we asked you, when did you have to change your partner's look? Have to. Have to. When did you absolutely have to?

Yeah. I don't know where your satin boxes are. Must have got eaten in the wash. Yeah, they must have caught on fire. I did a really hot wash and they melted. Kat messaged on Instagram saying, my partner, when we first got together, had a Velcro wallet in capital letters.

I did not have a hard time choosing his birthday present. When did you give up the Velcro wallet? I still love a Velcro wallet. I know you do. Because nothing falls out. If I go overseas and I don't want to take my good wallet, I'll take my Velcro wallet. I love a Velcro wallet. A Velcro wallet's a good take my good wallet. I'll take my Velcro wallet. I love a Velcro.

A Velcro wallet's a good overseas decoy wallet. Oh, decoy wallet. You're rocking a decoy wallet. If you go somewhere where, you know, muggings are up at a high chance, have a decoy. Have a decoy. You can be blessed if they're standing behind you,

you can hear them. Yeah. There it is. Maddie Craig said, this is another Instagram response. I was absolutely, my hand was forced when he wanted to wear jeans to the ball. Oh, okay. Yeah, right.

No formal slacks. It depends on the jean. Remember when suddenly you could wear jeans and a blazer to a wedding and everyone was like, thank God. Yes. But nice jeans. Oh, no. Yeah, like new jeans. Holy jeans holey jeans or acid wash jeans. Not faded.

No, not acid wash. Alice said when we went travelling and he pulled out cargo pants and a bum bag. I had to throw the bum bag in the bin. And then say I don't know what happened to it. Yeah. But cargo pants, hard. You know, it'd be pretty hard there all of a sudden. You find out the guy you're dating's wearing cargo pants.

Well, they've kind of made a comeback, though, haven't they? Don't you shake your stupid mouth. You shake your stupid mouth. Antonia, when did you have to change your partner's fash? Oh, it was more when we first met. He was quite a bit of a rugged bushman. So when we first got together, he didn't really know about sheet changing or daily showering. Oh, no.

Wow. Let alone his clothes. His clothes must have been in a state if they'd been lived in without showers. No, his mum would come in and do his washing for him. So it was always nice. It felt really good. But then I found out what his habits were, so that changed pretty quick.

Wow. Okay. And did you have to change, like, underwear, different types of clothing? He did pretty good on most fronts. Whenever I saw him, he would put, like, it would be, like, at events we first met, so he always, like, showered for the event and dressed really nice at the event. Yeah. But then when we started properly dating and I saw his habitat, it was an insect.

You just described him like an oxalotl or a lizard. His habitat. How did you slowly go about bringing him into the modern world? Well, I said I wouldn't stay over if he didn't shower. So that was a big... An ultimatum. So it was a bit of bribery and corruption there, I think.

Some fresh sheets. Straight blackmail. Yeah. Wow, okay. I mean, it's worked, hasn't it? Yeah. You've worked your magic. He's great now.

Smells good? Smells all right? Yeah, smells amazing. Oh, that's lovely now. Smells good? Smells all right? Yeah, it smells amazing. Oh, that's lovely. That's lovely. Antonia, thanks for your call. Some messages in. Another Instagram message.

Someone said, my now husband used to just get his mum to buy his clothes on her Helen Steins account. She'd just pick them out, like things that you would expect your mum to pick out for you to make her little man look like her little man. Little man gets close to little man. How much was she buying clothes at Helen Stein's for a little man that she had an account just to tick up? I don't know.

Yeah. Maybe she worked there. You know, like maybe she was a Helen Stein's employee. Yeah. My partner, before he dated me, he dated a hippie chick and he'd always wear the ugly hippie clothes that he... So he was made over into the hippie and then she's doing a remake over.

Right. Unhippying. Do you think she was wearing some of those elephant tie pants? Absolutely. Those are so comfortable. Some Hessian shirts. You know, real scratch. I mean, real scratch.

Comfortable. Asbestos shoes. You know, all of the worst building materials as clothes. I made my ex throw out his gimmicky, his cheesy gimmicky T-shirts. Oh, yeah. One had a picture of a rooster. You can imagine what it said on that.

Oh, no. Another one had an FBI female body inspector. No. People aren't still doing that. No, they are. I pooed. Remember that one? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. That looked like the iPod. Skate shoes are. I pooed. Remember that one? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, they look like the iPod. Skate shoes are getting a few mentions on the text. When I first met my partner, he was still wearing DC skate shoes and hideous skate tees

and waxed up hair like it was the 2000s. I remember I was at a General Pants and a girl was saying to her boyfriend, you just can't wear skate shoes anymore.

You've got to grow up. Well, when I first got, this is, oh, bless him. Oh, this makes me laugh up. Well, when I first got, this is, oh, bless him. Oh, this makes me laugh and cry. But when I first got together with Aaron, he was wearing, like, skate shoes with a high top because he said, oh, my God, I guess his legs are so long. Because his legs are so long.

Because his legs are so long, so his pants. Oh, his pants wouldn't reach. So he had to wear a high top shoe to stop showing ankle. Oh, his pants wouldn't reach. So he had to wear a high-top shoe to stop showing ankle. Oh, poor dude. If it makes you feel better, I wore Puma high-tops in 2010, and that was not the reason. No. Yeah, his pants were always a little bit short,

so he wore a high-top shoe to sort of connect the two. That's good. And now is he buying longer pants? Now he's got long man jeans. He can get long pants. Oh, that really makes me laugh. Long man jeans. Yeah, a few more skate shoes there.

A few messages in about the days of the week boxes that a lot of people have. Oh, not okay. Unless you're going to stick religiously to the day of the week. Yeah, it's when they wear the wrong day. Or when they've got a Wednesday sock and a Tuesday sock on the other foot and it's Friday. You're a mess.

That is a mess. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about New Zealand standard time. As soon as our daylight savings happened yesterday, we went. Silly little poll results coming up soon. How we feel about it.

Should we get rid of it? Should we keep it? Well, I'm here to tell you we're on a permanent daylight savings time. Already. What? New Zealand is on a permanent daylight savings time. But then we have an extra daylight savings. I'm so confused. Please explain. Is this so that we're still

the first place in the world to see everything? Nope. It's because in World War II, we wanted to reduce electricity use by residential people. Houses and stuff. So it could be more concentrated on stuff for the war or to support the war effort.

In 1941, during World War II, clocks were advanced half an hour to reduce electric power use, making New Zealand 12 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. Now, before that, we were only 11 and a half hours ahead of them. Oh, no. It's always got to be an even. Oh, yeah. I know. It would have been half an hour out. No, no, no. and a half hours ahead of them. Oh, no. It's always got to be an even. Oh, yeah. I know. We would have been half an hour out.

No, no, no. Like the Chathams. Yeah. The Chathams are 45 minutes out. Oh, that does my head in. Make it an hour. Yeah, round it up. At the end of the war in 1945, people were like,

we should make this. The Standard Time Act was passed. And in 1946, it came into play that we were we would stay 12 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and so we did and the Chatham Islands 45 minutes ahead of that. Right. Who are

we as people who, so we're so mighty and powerful that we're like, we're just going to change time. Well, here's the other amazing thing. What is the actual time? We were the first time. What is time actual time? We were the first. What is time? What is time, man? What is time, man? We were the first country.

We were the first country to adopt a standard time to be observed nationally. Right. The first country in the world. The big countries. You think of your big countries, your America, Russia. China. They're huge and have multiple. Multiple time zones.

China doesn't. Doesn't it? Nah. China's got a one time zone. Think how massive huge. Have multiple time zones. China doesn't. Doesn't it? Nah. China's got a one time zone. Think how massive China is. One time zone. Communism, eh? Communism.

Just follow suit. Just do what you want. Australia, multiple time zones. Multiple time zones in Australia. But it was, we were the first people to observe a national time. Right. First in the world in 1868. God, we're cute, eh?

Yeah. We're so cute. We're so proud of us. So we're like, that's the time now. Yep. Everybody set your watch. That's the time now. Right.

But everybody else was kind of like you. Before that, you'd set your time by like sunrise, sunset, the highest point of the thing. So people would more base it around that. You eat when the sun's at the highest in the sky. But that's the actual time, isn't it? The sun is the time. But it changes.

Yeah, we base our time on the sun. But it changes because of the way that the earth tilts. So our first daylight savings was put forward in 1909. Sir Thomas Sidey said we should have daylight savings and it wasn't until 1927 that he succeeded. So he was on about it. They would have been here all grinding the papers. Would he stop harping on about that?

And anyway, it happened. And the clocks were put forward from the first Sunday in November till the first Sunday in March. Okay. Hugely unpopular. And what was the thought behind it again? Because I still don't understand it.

So his was to get more use of the daylight when there is less daylight. So more use of the daylight in winter. So in summer, yeah, you get more daylight. It's longer days. But the problem is Auckland, like where the majority of the population lives Is not as drastic as it is down south Oh yeah, like when I lived down south it'd be like 10.30 and you'd still see a little bit of light And then in the winter the sun comes up so much later and it's darker so much earlier

So it was to kind of like balance it all out a bit more, I think, for the extremities. So it was unpopular. So it got changed to half an hour. So they had half an hour daylight savings from like 28 through to the war. Right. Can you imagine putting your clocks forward 30 minutes? Why bother?

It's weird. Yeah, but I'd rather do... But it's just because I guess it's what we never did. Rather do that than be in the trenches getting bombed by the Germans. Yeah, I'd rather do do that than be in the trenches getting bombed by the Germans. Yeah, I'd rather do that too than be in the trenches getting bombed by the Germans. I'd rather get bombed by the Germans. Have you ever been in a car when the time's out by an hour?

But at least you can be like, it's an hour off. But then half an hour, half an hour ahead, half an hour behind. It's very, very confusing. Which way do you go? And you'd have to press the button 30 times rather than just pressing time and then pressing hour behind. It's very, very confusing. Which way do you go? And you'd have to press the button 30 times rather than just pressing time and then pressing hour once. It's a nightmare. Yeah.

So today's fact of the day is technically New Zealand is in a constant state of daylight savings. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Well this is something I certainly worry about And I combat it with a lot of candles So many candles I want a candle band Really? Like what, buying them?

No more candles Not buying them, storing them, putting them out. I thought you were meaning after your house caught fire a couple of weeks ago, you were on ban from lighting. But that's a wiring issue. It's very dry. It wasn't a candle. I've never set the house on fire with a candle.

But apparently seven out of ten people worry that their home stinks. That their home smells bad. And you know that thing when you're like, it smells in here. I always worry your house smells, but sometimes you wouldn't be able to smell your own house because you live in it. Yeah, and you haven't left. You know how everybody's house has a smell?

Yes. I'm worried ours is golden retriever. Like wet dog. Have you been to a house and smelled like dogs? No. It's my biggest concern with dogs. What does it smell like? It just smells neutral.

Neutral. Even a neutral smell. My mum's house smells like the clothes wash stuff she uses. Oh, yeah. Cold water surf. Because you walk in the back door and it's right by the laundry and it's the first whiff you get. Because I'll always, when people are coming over,

just put a couple of candles on. Yeah, same. But then because I'm an inner city liver, you might get a whiff of Indian food from the Indian takeaways downstairs. Oh, yum. I love that. Which is not bad. Or you might get some bus exhausts.

Yum. Yum. I love bus exhausts. That's French food, isn't it? Bus exhausts. Yeah, busque sauce. That's French food, isn't it, Basque sauce? Yeah, Basque sauce. Basque sauce. Or maybe my apartment smells like my cat.

I don't know. No, I mean, I used to worry about smelly house because when I lived in Wellington, famously cold, famously a lot of bad housing for renters. Yusty. We'd always have like a damp or musty kind of house. Yeah. And I remember it always coming and be like, it smells damp in here, it smells damp in Yeah. And I remember I'd always come in and be like,

it smells damp in here, it smells damp in here. And you'd be like, dehumidifier on, candles going. Candles are the key. I still have that trauma. Well, yeah, the majority of people are worried about the stink of their house. They combat it with candles, incense. I used to love incense.

Oh, no. Oh, yeah. No, incense just smells like you've been smoking weed, but then the paranoia got to you too much. The fact you've been smoking weed, never could smell it, so you better light love incense. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. I can't stand it. No, incense just smells like you've been smoking weed, but then the paranoia got to you too much, but the fact you've been smoking weed, everyone could smell it, so you better light some incense. Yeah, yeah, it's a vicious cycle. Or like floral room sprays and the like.

Oh, okay. But whenever I smell something like an earwax, I associate it with the smell of poo. Yeah. Because... Someone's masking it. Someone's masking it, and then they would blend together. So now whenever I smell a lavender earwax, I'm like, someone's done it. Someone's masking it. And then they would blend together. So now whenever I smell a lavender earwax,

I'm like, someone's done it. That's why candles. You can't go wrong with the candles. You can't go wrong with a candle. So if you're worried... You haven't been candle money? I accuse you of being... You haven't been candle money?

I'm not a big candle money. I mean, you know I love an aqua. Oh, I love an aqua. The pine Christmas tree. Yeah. That's a special occasion candle. You've got to trim your wicks though, guys. You've got to trim your wicks. I don't trim my wick.

Why don't you trim your wick? Oh, you've got a big old black and it's all like at the end, it's all black. Yeah. Soots up the wax when the wax melts. Yeah. And it explodes when you light it. Yeah. No, it can't.

Your crackles, that's going to start a house fire. It's easier to light. Yeah. People are trimming these days, Bourne. People that don't trim their wicks don't trim their pubes either. You've got to trim. Yeah, yeah. You've got a big bushy wick and a big bushy crotch.

Both of which are a big fire hazard. Silly, silly, silly, that silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Should we get rid of daylight savings? Was that a silly little pole? 55% of people, so not a huge majority, 55% of people say no. I honestly thought it would be way more.

Who said no? Who said yes? Yes. Let's get rid of it. Do you think people think the daylight savings is the not daylight savings part? Because what is the daylight savings part? Daylight savings now. It's now.

Now means that we, no, no, no, we're not saving daylight now. Are we talking about saving in the morning or in the evenings? Well, it depends what you want. That's for the farmers. The farmers have lights. All we think about. Yeah, it's electricity now. And farmers have got headlights and all these bloody energiser head torches.

They're always starting in the dark. What's the difference having more dark? If they didn't have to start in the dark, that would be one nice thing for them to bitch about. I know. I don't want to get up in the morning. They love that. All I think about is it gets dark early in winter, and that sucks.

And, I mean, we go to work in the dark anyway, so it doesn't worry us. But even if I worked in an office job, would you care if it's dark in the morning going to work at your job? No. Have you been to England? It's either light at 4 o'clock in the morning or not light until like 10 o'clock in the morning.

Yeah. Or just not light at all. Just very grey. Yeah. So should we get rid of daylight savings? 45% of people said yes. 55% of people said no. A lot more split. A lot more split.

Michelle says, who cares if it's dark in the morning? Yeah, well, I agree. Back off. Michelle's coming in. Coming in hot, Michelle. Who cares if it's dark in the morning? Jess says, I feel like at 31, I've only just got the hang of daylight savings.

Yeah, right. I don't think you can get the hang of it. I'm just a savings. Yeah, right. I don't think you get the hang of it. I'm just a sheep. Following, doing what I'm told. I love summer evenings. Same. I love them. But I also love winter evenings

because when you have to get up early, it's sometimes very hard to convince yourself to go to bed at an appropriate time. Whereas if it's dark and cold outside, you're more likely to be inside earlier, get everything done and then be in bed at a decent hour.

But the outdoor dining thing, because of climate change, it's April and it's still today going to be about 24 degrees in Auckland. I mean, that's perfect dining outside weather, but now it's dark.

Yeah. Dark and warm. Eat earlier? Oh. Taylor says, this keeps life interesting. Taylor, get a hobby. It's like, oh shit,

we have to change the clocks today. But what about how now everything changes automatically? Your phone, your smartwatch, some cars, not all of them, but some cars change automatically, but there's still a couple of clocks hooning around the house. Your ovens, your microwaves, your wall clocks that require

a change. Surely microwaves should be better than they are? My microwave doesn't have a clock. It does, but it's never on because we turn it off at the wall. Yeah, so mine's on 00 all the time. Our microwave's hidden away so you don't see it, but the oven, I constantly have to do the oven.

Give it a little microwave compartment. God, how the other half live, eh? It's in the butler's pantry. Oh, imagine being able to hide the microwave. Hide away that shameful microwave, please. What are some other feedback on this? Amy says,

because my dad would have a fit if they got rid of it and I'd be the one who has to hear about it. Amy's purely saying she doesn't want to deal with the bitching. Old mates don't love change. No, they don't. But then they get over it. Yeah, they get over it.

If we get rid of daylight savings, it's less change. Yeah, exactly. Because we stop changing the time all the time. Katie said, yes, get rid of daylight savings, but keep the time at daylight savings time. Which time is... Does she mean the summer one, eh? She wants to keep summer time, right?

Like more light at the end of the day. That's the one I want. This is the confusing part about it. What time is daylight savings time? Sunday. No, that's not what I'm trying to do. And Janelle said, hell's no giving me them long summer evenings.

Yeah, that's what everyone loves, right? Yeah. All right, well, we're split. New Zealand, we're split on this one. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. ZM's $100,000 secret sound. Soundkeeper Owls, good morning.

Good morning. Another Monday. Hello. Howdy,ls, good morning. Good morning. Another Monday. Hello. Howdy, howdy, dum. Howdy, dum. That was exciting. Another Monday. God.

Silence. Are you okay, buddy? Still alive. Who would have thought? Yeah, life. Have you felt the impacts or the benefits, I should say, of daylight savings? An extra hour yesterday. Yeah, that was nice.

But I don't. It doesn't translate to Monday Yeah, that was nice, but I don't... It doesn't translate to Monday, does it? No, and I don't like leaving work and it's pitch black, you know? Yeah, my cat... Yeah, that's not fun. My cat doesn't get daylight savings. Stupid. Oh, my God, I know such idiots.

Like, he was calling me at 3.30. He's like, where's my food? I'm like, it's 3.30, you stupid cat. Dude. Like, we put our clocks forward back. For dinner at, like, five. I'm like, meow. You're like, yeah, I'm hungry. Yeah, check your watch, you dumb cat. Yeah, I know. put our clocks forward back. For dinner at like five, like meow. You're like, I'm hungry.

Check your watch, you dumb cat. Yeah, I know. Turn your clock back. Stupid cats. Alright. We've got Stacey joining us this morning. Good morning, Stacey. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning to you, Stacey. Is it? Are you feeling this

Monday as well? Yes, very much. Alright. Well, this is the secret sound. For $50,000, what do you think it is? I think it's adjusting the antenna on a radio stereo. Okay.

Do you mean the telescopic ones? Yes. It's been a while between antenna pools. Yeah. Okay. And before you a while between antenna pools. Yeah. Okay. And before you ask, I know what it is. I just wanted to make sure. I wanted to just make sure.

I saw Hayley's eyes. Are you, like, lifting it up just so we can confirm? Adjusting or bringing it up or bringing it down? You're bringing it down. Yeah, bringing it down. Okay. Because they kind of stack, don't they? Like, big, medium, little.

Got it. What, like a clock? Yeah. What would you do with $50,000? I'd probably do everything. Do everything? Nice. Maybe, like, just try and get out of the country. Oh, wouldn't it be nice? Yeah.

Okay, well, it's got time of year to leave as well. Oh, I reckon. Warm over in Europe? Yeah. That'd be nice? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, well, it's got time of year to leave as well. Oh, I reckon. It'd be warm over in Europe. Yeah. That'd be nice. It's getting very war-y, too. It'd be really nice. Quite war-y.

Both war and warm. And with the additional M. Yeah. Warm and warm. It's got everything. Yeah, everything. Stacey? Yes? Stacey? Yes.

That is not the secret sound. She can't go to war now. Okay. All right, Stacey, hard luck. Another challenge coming up at eight. It's all thanks to Neon. You can watch TV series and movies handpicked for Kiwis.

If you can tell us what this sound is. No pressure. No pressure. It's just 50 grand. Am I letting you guys know now? Yep, let us know. All right. I think, you know when you, like, you scrape ice off the side of a freezer or something?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's so specific. No, it's satisfying. I love doing it. Or like a windshield in winter. Yeah, something like scraping ice. Okay.

I can feel it. When it's that real hard eye saying you've got to get a chisel in there and be like... Yeah. Because that does sound like you're chipping away at it. Yeah. Mike, have you looked at the clues? Yeah, I've had a look. It's still driving me crazy, but I'm just happy that I got through.

There you go. Either way, you don't know at least. Well, Mike. Scraping ice. Is not the secret sound. All right. Well, another chance to have a guess. This morning at 11 o'clock with Georgia,
