Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe.

And I tell you what, the frozen berry world has been rocked.
Jesus, how do we know if our berries have the hip?
Because I've got berries in the freezer but I haven't touched them for a while.
Well,
for those that have missed the news,
yeah,
there have been people in New Zealand
that have purchased
frozen berries
from the supermarket
and they have got sick
with hepatitis A.
So,
there is a recall
of Pam's
frozen berries,
so Pam's from New World,
you know,
New World or Pack and Save.
Yeah.
Or, is it Foursquare?
Would they sell PAMS as well?
Well, wherever you buy your PAMS.
Yeah.
PAMS frozen mixed berries, 500 grams.
PAMS frozen two berry mix, 1kg and $7.50.
PAMS frozen smoothie berry mix, 500 grams.
PAMS raspberries, which I love my raspberries.
Oh my God, raspberries.
500 and 350 PAMS, which are apparently they've been traced genetically to a similar outbreak in Europe.
And these berries are from Serbia.
Which hepatitis is A?
It's the one transmitted via wee-wee or poo-poo.
It's the same one.
We had a bit of a problem here going a wee way back because people who picked berries
are getting paid by weight.
So people would pick a bucket of berries and then wheeze in the berries and the berries
would absorb the wheeze.
And the hepatitis.
And thus way more and they get paid more.
But there was the person who was doing it had hepatitis.
Whereas I would just argue all along, if you're going to do that, just use water.
Just use water.
On the picking farm.
Why are you going to use weeds?
So, yeah, apparently it's a precautionary recall of six Pam's frozen berries over a
possible link to recent cases.
But yeah, apparently we get frozen berries from all kinds of places.
Egypt, Peru, other parts of South America, yeah.
What else can we put in our smoothies then?
Cauliflower, zucchini.
Do you know you can use those when you're doing a keto diet?
You freeze it and it just thickens it without adding much flavor.
Because raw cauliflower doesn't taste that much.
Yeah.
Raw zucchini doesn't taste that much.
Is it like cauliflower rice?
Yeah, yeah.
So you just like blitz it up.
Oh, no.
Put in some berries, a bit of protein.
Got a thick shake. Yeah, it's feral
It's wrong
Hey, Vaughn
Is that you chucking up your cauliflower smoothie?
Jesus
Jesus
Vaughn, you're going to make people chuck before they listen to our podcast.
Enjoy the podcast.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Waking up to a chilly day, New Zealand.
I'm a bit worried.
So I left, we were, you know, we slept with our duvet on last night
and I woke up this morning freezing cold.
So I've turned the heater on in our bedroom and I closed the door.
What if I suffocate Aaron?
What is it again?
Is it an old school gas heater?
No, it's an iron bar.
Oh, he'll be fine.
He'll just wake up hot.
Dry.
Dry.
Dry it out.
But the big man will be warm and that's what matters.
And it's his birthday.
Oh, you've got to keep your big boy's warm on their birthday.
I've got to keep the big boy warm on his birthday. I've got to keep the big boy warm on his birthday.
I felt bad leaving.
You can't leave your big boy all cold in bed.
On his birthday?
I got my big boy out of bed.
Did you?
By big boy, I mean wife.
Yeah.
She is a big boy.
She's going to an early morning gym class.
What?
This morning?
Yeah.
How early?
It was so much fun waking her up.
Being like, wake up!
She's like, I'm like, yeah, I know!
It sucks, doesn't it?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
And then as I left, I was like, see ya!
Oh, she's got a big day, because the kids are away.
Oh, yep, yep. She's got this big day
playing, and she's like,
the only time I can go to the gym is now.
And then as I was leaving, I was like, alright, have a good time.
And she's like, I don't know how you do this.
And I was like,
remember you said that.
Yes.
All right,
coming up on the show,
more chances
for that $100,000 cash prize
with our secret sound competition.
Thanks to Neon.
Seven and eight this morning
and a cue jumper spot
at nine o'clock.
Your next chances.
We have some competition.
We have competition.
On the radio.
Yeah, I know.
There's a new...
I'm terrified.
You, I know you are.
A small Auckland-based radio station has been sold.
Turns out there's not a lot of money in the old radio anymore.
No, God, it's great.
It's a great medium.
It's my favourite.
It's my number one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's your favourite, isn't it? Absolutely. It employs you, doesn't it? Oh, my God, it's great. It's a great medium. It's my favourite. It's my number one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's your favourite, isn't it?
Absolutely.
It employs you, doesn't it?
Oh, my God, absolutely.
Where do you think podcasts got all their ideas from?
Yes.
This old workhorse.
Talking to the people into a microphone.
Yeah.
Original podcast.
Yeah.
We're the Clydesdale, and that's a two-wheel motorbike.
You know, it's zippy, and it's fun, and it's quick to get around,
but can do the hard mahi.
No.
No.
Okay, what a podcast can't do, breaking news.
Yeah, that's right.
That's true.
Suck it, podcast.
Yeah, take it.
Yeah.
Good morning to our podcast listeners as well.
I mean, a poem in our podcast.
Yeah, downloading.
Our podcast, the best sort of podcast,
a radio show just edited the songs and the ads out
and it becomes sort of a concentrated radio show.
Podcasts hate it, don't they?
That's the sort of podcast.
Well, the Destiny Church enters the radio market.
It does.
Yeah, the Auckland frequency of Bass FM.
Yeah, the look on your face, Hayley,
was the look that I had on my face when I heard this news too.
Is he going to win a Blackie?
That is the,
just to explain
people outside of
the industry,
that name might
need some
explanation,
legendary broadcaster
Kevin Black
passed away and
has an award
named after him.
Hayley won that
award in her
first year on
radio and really
pissed a lot of
people off who
have been trying
their whole life
to win one.
Yeah, I strolled
on in.
Strolled on in
and picked it up.
He could be a shoo-in. Is Brian going to take it away from me?
He could be a shoo-in next awards season.
Because it's for sort of a funny moment or a charming moment.
And he's a laugh-a-minute.
He is a laugh-a-minute guy.
The top six dealing with this new Destiny Church radio station.
Yeah, the top six things you can expect to hear on Destiny radio.
Goodness.
I'll be tuning in.
Right.
Coming up, we've got some Scooby-Doo news.
I know you've all been wondering what's happening with Scooby-Doo.
It's about time, honestly.
I was starting to get worried.
Yeah.
This is big news.
That you hadn't heard anything.
He's more than just a rollercoaster at Movie World, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That used to be the Gremlins ride.
Do you remember that?
Yeah.
And then they rebadged it.
Republished it.
Nobody knew what Gremlins ride. Do you remember that? Yeah. And then they rebadged it. Repurposed it. Nobody knew what Gremlins were.
Yeah.
Also coming up on the show, Vaughan,
you've got an interesting statistic about men at work.
I sure do.
Men in the workplace.
British men.
Kiwi men wouldn't do this, I don't think.
Well, that's up to you.
You tell me.
You can speak for yourself, but you can't speak for everybody.
14% of British men are doing this in the workplace, and it will absolutely shock you when we tell you what Speak yourself. You tell me. You can speak for yourself, but you can't speak for everybody. 14% of British men are doing this in the workplace,
and it will absolutely shock you when we tell you what it is.
But next on the show.
Well, science has been working on the hard stuff, the good stuff,
the stuff we really need.
They've created a new pill, and I'm in.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
From the self-driving ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Oh, hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Base FM is an Auckland-based radio station,
and in a surprise move to many of the employees,
yesterday it was sold to prominent Destiny Church members
George Nathai and
Raewyn Hanna.
So if you are an employee of
Base and then it's bought by Destiny,
do you now work for them? Unless you
quit? Well, they aren't Destiny.
They are high profile
members of Destiny.
They're very much
where their Destiny
Church heart on their sleeve.
Right.
They said there's no plans to make changes to the station, but we'll see.
We'll see, right.
Check this out, though.
They're like, look, we're business owners first.
We've got a $25 million business, including eight medical practices.
That's worrying that people who were involved in the church that was like no to everything regarding COVID
own a medical practice, eight medical practices,
two supermarkets, and Mr. Whoopie franchise
and multiple childcare centres.
Jeepers.
Wow, okay.
Do you think the medical practice, they heal them, you know,
like with their hands?
Yeah, but a holy water.
It's like, get up and walk.
Yeah.
Maybe.
But yeah, so they're big business owners.
And a lot of people who work there are out. But, you know, when it inevitably changes,
I'm actually just turning in now to see what we've got on the station.
On the station.
Oh, yeah.
It's a bit of Creed.
Creed, yeah.
It's your classic go-to on a religious radio station.
Kind of a crossover, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was, yeah.
Middle of the road rocket.
Oh, beautiful.
Pray, Destiny FM.
Pray.
Oh, more Creed. Oh, yeah. Why not? Just Creed, Destiny FM. Pray. Oh, more Creed.
Oh, yeah.
Why not?
Just Creed, mostly Creed.
I think it's mostly Creed.
Yeah, it's mostly Creed, I think.
Yeah.
Give the people what they want.
Yeah, beautiful.
I like their take there on play.
Yeah.
Like, we've got, you know, plays ZM'd up, but pray.
Genius.
Brilliant, brilliant.
That's really good.
Would you like me to turn off greed?
Yes, please.
Okay.
The top six things you'll hear on Destiny FM.
Number six on the list.
People win prizes, but then straight away have to give 10% of that prize back to Brian.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it's fair.
Yeah.
Fair is fair.
It is.
That's fair.
Them's the rules.
Number five on the list of the top six things you'll hear on Destiny FM. Fear is fear. It is. That's fear. Them's the rules. Number five on the list of the top six.
I think you'll hear on Destiny FM, the Rock 2000.
But it's literally 2,000 rocks that have impacted Christianity.
Spoiler alert.
I think the rock that they rolled in front of the cave where they put Jesus after the crucifixion.
Number one.
It's got to be number one.
It'll be that or the one Abraham was going to use to sacrifice his son on.
And he was about to kill him and God was like, Trucks! Wait!
Dude, I can't believe you were about to do that.
That's crazy. Why was he going to kill his son?
Because God asked him to, to show
that he was dedicated
to God. Did he have the voices
in his head? That's just what Creed's
song was about, My Sacrifice.
Abraham's sacrifice of his son Isaac.
See,
isn't it all just making fun of many Christians around here.
I know, my bit blay.
I was raised Catholic.
Number four on the list of the top six things you'll hear on Destiny FM.
A wacky segment where you hear listeners' dirtiest confessions.
Ooh.
But there's no prizes, just straight damnation to eternity in hell.
No, but if you confess, it's okay.
It's a confess and a donation.
And then you're saved.
And then Moshe Bryan will grant you that.
Okay.
Number three on the list of the top six things you'll hear on Destiny FM,
the Bible-based secret sound.
Oh, okay.
How does that go?
It's just a sound synonymous with the Bible.
Okay.
And then this is their one this time.
Nailing Jesus to the cross.
Bingo, you got it.
Oh, my God, $100,000.
Well, well, well, well, well, 90.
Oh, it's because of 10%. You got to get 10%.
Yeah.
Do I have to?
It's still good, though.
Yeah, you do.
Oh, okay.
It's still good.
That's still better than nothing.
Yeah.
Couldn't you have given away $110,000 and then...
No, because that would be...
No, because 10% of 110 is,000 is $11,000.
That would be $11,000.
Oh, okay.
Right.
Sorry.
It doesn't quite work like that.
Nah.
Number two on the list of the top six things you hear on Destiny FM,
Sunday night talkback with God.
Oh, okay.
It's pretty one way, though.
Doing a lot of talking.
Right.
At.
Yeah.
At God.
God's just kind of sitting.
He's a listener.
Right.
That's what makes him a great talkback host, you know. He's a listener. Right sitting He's a listener That's what makes him a great talkback host
He's a listener
And number one on the list of the top six things
You'll hear on Destiny FM
Bible verse of the day
Day, day, day, day
Oh
God, God, God
God, God, God
God, God, God
God, God, God
God, God, God
That's today's top six God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, an apology. Yeah. I agree. I couldn't agree more to be fair. Well, I said 14% of British
men are doing this at work. Well, it turns out
it's 14% of men and women.
Just Brits in general. It's actually
22% of men.
In the gender breakdown.
So thank you very much to women
who only
play with themselves at work
7% because that drags
the average down.
Wow, so it's actually worse for guys.
Yeah.
Now, I always get a little bit like, okay, I don't know about this
because this chemist for you asked 2,000 people
if they had had any sort of self-gratification.
Chemist for you?
I know.
Like that would be like the chemist's warehouse
asking us if we play with ourselves at work.
I know, I'm always like,
what's around the boardroom table
when they're like,
what should we do with our research?
Let's look into people playing with themselves at work.
Are they trying to sell lube or something?
Yeah, maybe.
If you're going to play with yourself at work,
make sure you do it nice and lubed.
So, I think it was more with more people working from home
and more people playing with themselves on the work dime.
Oh, right.
Okay, right.
Which was what they looked into.
Okay, well that changes my answer.
Working from home has many benefits.
From missing the morning commute to saving on fuel to travel costs
and it turns out Brits also playing with yourself when you should be working.
Guys. Can't you wait
till you clock off? Beg your pardon?
Clock off. Clock off.
Clock off from work. Clock off.
Yeah, gotcha. So this is people
in the office. This is people
on work hours. On work hours. So including
those at the office. Okay. But during
work hours. Wow. I mean I guess
if you're at work 12 hours a day, 14 hours.
But you know what the-
You know those people that work long days.
Or like shift workers.
I mean, if you were at one of those Kmarts that, you know-
Do you know what else?
Stays open till midnight.
You get a bit bored.
I'm at the back.
Right.
I'm at the back.
Duvet session.
The more money you earn, the more likely you are to...
What, because you like kind of risky behaviour?
You're powerful, powerful.
And who's going to stop you?
You're almighty, you're powerful, you're rich.
Well, and another thing is people said the lower wage earners
are generally more out there doing it, like, you know.
Yeah, right.
People out in public, you wouldn't want to see, for example,
the rubbish collector going down the road.
Whereas it's your management, like when you're
at Kmart, at the 24 hour Kmart.
It just went to your head, didn't it?
Yeah, absolutely.
And it's all quiet in there and warm.
Age groups?
What do you think? What age group?
20s. 20s. 20 to 34.
27% of people in that
25 to 34 age group
Horned up
Horned up
and have played with themselves
during work time
Unbelievable
The older it gets
35 to 44
18%
45 to 54
15%
Let's all just be honest
and say whether we've done it or not
No
Absolutely not
No you won't say it
or no you haven't
No I haven't
What job?
Your current job.
Not when you were staffing the Shell service station, Vaughn.
Oh, heavens.
No, no, no, no.
Heavens to Betsy.
No, God.
Someone could have popped in any minute.
We don't have the time.
Like, take the next song, for example.
It's two minutes 23.
No.
You can't even get to the toilet and back.
Who's going to the toilet there?
Gross.
I'm kidding around.
But playing with yourself in the work toilets,
the work toilets are gross.
Having to poo there is, like, anxiety-inducing.
Well, you guys recently gave me a tour of the men's toilets.
Oh, yeah.
What did you think?
You'd have to go disabled. Yeah, you would have gave me a tour of the men's toilets. Oh, yeah. What did you think? You'd have to go disabled.
Yeah, you would have to go in the big one.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's a different energy than the girls' toilets.
Okay, well, I think we'll change tack here for the show.
We've got some wholesome Scooby-Doo news next.
Oh, that's good.
Now the kids can listen.
Play Zed-N's Fletch for the Daily. Now the kids can listen.
Better Can Guess Your Mum's Name.
Vaughan will ask somebody five questions about their mum and then try and guess their name.
Hannah, that person is you.
Good morning.
Good morning. Welcome to I Better Can Guess. Hannah, that person is you. Good morning. Good morning.
Welcome to I Better Can Guess Your Mum's Name.
Thank you.
I'm retired. Vaughan is just
finalising some questions
in his journal. H-A-N-N-A?
H at the end.
H-A-N-N-H.
Yeah. H-A-N-N-A-H.
H-A-N-N-A-H.
It's written there on the screen in case you...
It's palindromic.
Yeah.
Okay.
Isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
Same forward as it is backwards.
Yes, it is.
Better than yell, yeah.
That's mine.
Let's get to know your mum.
Does mum...
My first question is, does mum run hot or cold?
Now, I'll explain this.
My mum runs cold. She's always like, oh, I'm cold. Yeah. And I'm always turning on the heater, is, does mum run hot or cold? Now, I'll explain this. My mum runs cold.
She's always like, oh, I'm cold.
Yeah.
And I'm always turning on the heater.
And some mums run hot.
Like, they're always hot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Mum might run cold, and then she goes through menopause,
and she runs hot and cold and moody.
And murderous.
And murderous.
Yeah, that one sounds pretty accurate, that one, yeah.
The last one. Yeah, right, yeah. The last one.
Yeah, right, okay.
The last one.
So she's all over the show.
A little bit.
Right.
That's okay.
Does it come up with a name, though?
Pre-menopausal.
We don't need to know about her menopause.
Well, no, we've covered it.
Grow up.
Everybody's mum goes through menopause.
It's something we've all got to deal with.
We should be supportive in there for our mothers during this tumultuous time.
Understanding, caring.
My mum didn't.
Yet.
Oh, yeah, maybe.
Delayed.
Yeah, she's fertile ground.
That's all over, but she just breezed through it.
Right, yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
She's fertile ground.
That's why she's lasting menopause later on.
Oh, my God.
Prior to that, did mum run hot or cold?
Imagine if my mum had another baby right now.
It'd be nice, I think.
She can stop bothering me for grandkids.
Yeah, she'd have her own.
No, wait.
Anyway.
So prior to, did mum run hot or cold?
I'd say more cold.
Yeah, all mums are cold, I reckon.
I think it's a trick question.
What does that help you with?
What names does that help you with?
Cold mum names?
Who hates a drafty window?
Yeah.
Well, Christine, did she hate a drafty window?
My mum famously runs very cold.
Yeah, so does my mum.
So put a Patsy and a Christine down.
Yeah.
They grow up, I'm thinking they grew up in uninsulated houses.
Yeah, right.
So they're always wearing a lot of clothes.
Yeah.
You see, and that's why they run cold.
I'm going to put a Jennifer.
A Jenny.
Okay.
A Jenny.
A Mary.
These are all cold mum's names, are they?
Yeah, these are cold mum's names.
Pam's cold.
Pam's running cold.
Yeah.
Trish.
Trish is cold.
Trish.
Yep. Trish runs cold. Yeah. Trish? Trish is cold. Trish. Yep. Trish
runs cold. Uh, Pauline?
Pauline runs a little chilly.
Uh.
Mary? Did you say Mary?
Diane's got ice in her veins.
Vianne's quite, Vianne's
quite, um. Leanne?
What's Vianne? It's a name.
No one's mum's called Vianne. No one's mum's
called Vianne. Alright. I'll put one's mum's called Vian. No, it's not. No one's mum's called Vian.
All right.
I'll put $1,000 on the line of my own money if this caller's mum's name's Vian.
Vian.
Oh, my God.
I hope so much your mum is Vian. No, in fact, nobody listening now has a mum called Vian.
Someone will.
I know a Vian.
Someone will, but it's a rare.
What is it?
What is it?
Half a Vanessa and a Diane?
I don't know.
Question two.
What is mum's go-to bakery treat?
Like if she's going to pop into the bakery,
I'll lead the charge.
My mum loves a custard square.
My mum loves anything apple, an apple turnover.
How good is that?
Like an apple turnover,
but the pastry is like puffed and like flaky.
And it's got icing sugar on top.
Now, we're on a lot of Julia and Half, and I'm sorry for doing that to us all.
My mum is dairy free.
So she will probably go for something that's vegan
or just not go to the bakery and go to a specialist cafe.
Oh, my God.
Vaughn's dropped his pen.
He doesn't want to play.
He doesn't want to play.
I don't want to play with your mum.
This isn't a, hey, you on the phone,
I bet I can guess your vegan mum's name.
Hey, on the phone, she's your mum.
She just can't have dairy.
Okay.
So she likes meat.
Yeah, she's fine with meat.
But you're saying the vegan treats are the ones with no dairy in them.
Maybe she's a bit gassy.
Vegan ones are the safest.
So she's got a bit of a funny tummy, maybe.
Gassy Cathy.
Or Chuck Haley on there.
Yeah, because you've got a funny tummy, don't you?
You're a gassy girl.
Anne.
Anne, okay.
Oh my God, Anne can't have dairy
Anne's not into her dairy
Yeah
Neither's Lorraine
Lorraine
Yeah Lorraine
You shit cut it out
Helen
Helen doesn't love dairy
Helen's dairy free
Yeah I always think
Helen's dairy free
But it's more of a stance
Against the dairy industry
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah then it is
What about Kate or a Casey
I was gonna put Catherine I put Kathy Yep okay but it's more of a stance against the dairy industry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, then it is. What about a Kate or a Katie?
I was going to put Catherine.
I put Kathy.
Yeah, okay.
I'm going to put Katie.
Because I feel like dairy-free mums are a bit posh mums.
Yeah, they're posh.
Maybe a bit younger.
Right, but she's not dairy-free by choice by the sounds.
No.
It's based of course upon her.
Tans?
Tanya, yes. Belinda? Do you reckon Belinda loves a dairy-free slice? Ianya Belinda
Do you reckon Belinda loves a dairy free slice
Belinda's stomach will explode
God imagine Belinda if she
Every once a year she'll treat herself
To a hokey pokey ice cream
And she's going to
Excuse herself afterwards
If it helps it was a choice
It was a choice
Oh it was Okay choice. It was a choice. Oh, it was.
Okay.
Okay, what's mum's age?
What kind of age range are we talking for mum?
She is 53.
Yeah, younger.
Okay, young mum.
Well, no, no, no.
I'm not saying she's late.
Yeah.
Lynn.
Lynn?
Lynn.
I'm thinking of Kim.
Yeah, Kim is what I was thinking of.
Yeah, Christina.
I'm standing, so I don't know if this is going to affect me.
I'm standing, I'm taking notes like a journalist.
Yeah, I like that.
Do you like this about it?
Okay, I'm thinking an Allie.
Oh, yeah.
So that's an Allison.
Allison Allie, yeah.
I'm thinking Lisa.
Could it be sort of like a natural, a naturopathic kind of person
if they're choosing.
Like an Ange.
An Angela.
An Emily.
Yes.
And
Teresa.
Put a Teresa down.
That just came to me.
Yeah.
Well, you've got to follow your instincts.
You've got to follow your gut, don't you?
What's mum's favourite swear word?
Now, if it's an actual expletive, don't say it on air.
Obviously, we don't want to get ourselves in trouble.
Maybe the first letter.
It would, yeah, you could say the F word.
Yeah, the F word.
Really?
Blast.
She loves the F word.
Sharon.
Have you got Sharon on there?
Oh, don't set the timer yet.
I'm not finished with my question. God, that scared the shit out of me.
You jumped.
That was such a fright.
Fletch jumped.
It was fine.
I don't think I've ever seen you get a jump right before.
Sue.
Give them a second.
Susie.
Do I have a Rachel already?
Rachel. Okay. Rough old. Do I have a Rachel already? Rachel.
Okay.
Rough old, rough old Rachel.
Clear, dirty.
She's a clear word, swear word.
I have Sarah.
What did you just say?
Far.
Far out.
Okay.
And what does mum do for a job?
She used to run a cleaning business.
At the moment, she's between jobs.
Okay, between jobs, she's running a cleaning business.
Okay.
Mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum.
Mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum.
What time does Kath come over to do the benches?
Yeah, I've got Kath.
Okay.
I've got Kath.
I've got Kathy.
Kim?
Do you have a Kim?
Yeah, I do have a Kim. Oh, yeah.
Good, good. That's why I thought of
Kim, yeah. Might chuck a Katrina on the
list. Okay.
I ran a cleaning business.
I've got a Rachel
and I've got a Rochelle.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got a
Joanna. Might put a Joanne
and a Joanna. Okay.
I'd hate to miss it with one letter.
Alright, Vaughn, you now have 15...
Cheryl, yes.
Vaughn now has 15 seconds
to guess your mum's name, Hannah.
If you hear your mum's name, yell out,
Stop! That's my mum's name.

Sweary Emma.
Oh, Emma.
Yeah.
Wow.
Emily and Emma.
Well done, Vaughan.
I think that was more under the...
That may have been under the pretense of dairy-free.
Oh, yeah.
You know, dairy-free.
Yeah, Emma's off the cheese.
Yeah, Emma's off the cheese.
By choice.
What was the choice that drove her away from dairy?
Just she felt better without it.
Of course we all feel better without it. Of course we all feel better without it.
Of course we all feel better, but cheese.
I never feel better than when I'm shoveling cheese.
Yeah, true.
The bonus round.
While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name.
Well, you've triggered the bonus round.
You've locked in $100 because Vaughn has guessed your mum's name, Hannah.
Well done.
Emma and Steve. Emma and Steve.
Emma and Al.
Emma and...
It is Steve.
You said it right at the gate.
I think it's Steve too.
You think it's Steve.
John.
Emma and John.
Emma and Tom.
Emma and Dave.
Emma and Shane.
Chris.
Chris and Emma.
Emma and Shane.
Was that a couple from home and away?
No, that was Angel and Shane. Oh and Emma. Emma and Shane. Was that a couple from home and away? No, that was Angel and Shane.
Oh, yeah.
Robert.
Emma and Corey.
Corey.
Corey.
Now, that's too young.
Too young.
Too young.
Colin?
Too old.
The 50s.
Let's meet in the middle.
Let's meet in the middle.
Okay, well, it's your guess, Vaughn.
It's on you.
You've got the spirit of Craig.
Emma and Craig.
Nah, too old.
Too old?
Yeah.
There's lots of Craigs.
My dad's a Craig.
Yeah, but there's Craigs in their 40s, 50s.
Tons of Craigs in their 40s.
Nigel.
Nah.
Nigel and Emma.
Nigel and Emma.
Nah, I don't think she'd go for a Nigel.
Glenn. Glenn. Yes, I don't think she'd go for a Nigel. Glenn.
Glenn.
Yes, Glenn would be a classic.
Emma and Glenn might be a Glenn.
Or a Greg.
Yeah, it would be more likely to be a Greg than it would be a Glenn.
But then Steve just came to me straight away.
Steve.
Emma and Steve.
Greg.
Steve.
No, I'm not being pulled towards a... Colin. No, I'm not being pulled towards a...
Colin.
No, I'm not being pulled towards...
Greg, I think.
Okay, Vaughan.
I lock in Greg.
I will ask you to lock in a name.
I lock in Greg.
Okay.
Hannah, what is your dad's name?
Roger.
We didn't even go there.
We didn't even go there.
Rog and Emma.
Steve Rogers.
Captain America. Yeah. You were kind of... Rog and Emma. Steve Rogers. Captain America.
Yeah.
You were kind of, you were there.
You were on a path.
You were on, you just need to explore it a little bit more.
Hannah, well, we unfortunately miss out on the bonus round dad's name guess,
but you have won $100.
Awesome.
Thank you guys so much.
Bet I can guess your mom's name.
Congratulations.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley.
It's birthday week.
In my family, it's Aaron today, my brother tomorrow, and me on Saturday.
All are the result of New Year's flings, by the sounds of it.
I know.
Yeah.
So Aaron's birthday today.
Boy, oh boy, have I got a day planned for my man.
Yeah, right.
He's going to wake up alone.
Oh. Yeah, right. He's going to wake up alone. Oh.
Yeah. He's going to
go out to an empty house with no
furniture. Ah.
And then his partner Hayley
won't be home till 7.30pm.
Oh.
Mama's working.
That's his king though.
Yeah, yeah. That's what he likes.
Maybe. And then I'm on a journey to health
So we're not going out for dinner
Oh
Yeah
Oh okay
And then we'll go to bed
And I tell you what
I'm tired
Ain't nothing happening in there
Yeah
And that's the day for him
What a day
I was really expecting that
To turn around at the end there
No
No turn around
It's a lame birthday weekend
We've got
It's the same
But you've got him a present, though.
No.
Oh.
We're not doing presents.
Okay.
I sort of bought him something a few months ago
and did that thing where you're like,
ah, it's your birthday present.
Are you sticking to the no presents?
Or on Saturday when it's your birthday,
are you going to be like, okay, we said no presents,
but that doesn't mean no presents.
Yeah, you're going to do that thing where.
I'll say it.
Women do it.
I stopped short in saying that.
No.
But they do.
I will correct.
My women do it.
No, we're sticking to the no gifties.
Okay.
There's too much going on.
I wrote him a poem this morning.
What?
Can you give us a little sniff of this poem?
No, I can't remember it.
I wrote it straight into the card.
It was a one-off.
It's a one-off original.
Oh, cool.
What about just a rough idea?
It was like
all the things that I
like about him and it were rhymed.
One of them was
You're six foot eight.
You're doing your best to build our dream
house. You sort it
out when Rolly brings in a mouse.
Okay, that's good. Those are two good things.
It rhymes. That's what he does.
That's what you like about him.
What was another one?
You keep me warm with your hot butt.
Hot butt.
Yeah.
You dance.
You're quite a nut.
Just write him a sweet little poem about some nice things.
That's nice.
That's fun.
But that's all he's getting.
Yeah, right.
I haven't even sorted him a meal.
Okay.
There's nothing in the fridge. It's fun. But that's all he's getting. Yeah, right. I haven't even sorted him a meal. Okay. There's nothing in the fridge.
It's a lame birthday.
And then my brother, I mean, I won't do anything for him.
He lives in Melbourne.
He's fine.
Yeah, but then when it comes to your weekend, if you get nothing,
how are you going to feel about that?
So I'm on Saturday and Aaron was like, well, you know,
I know we're not going to do gifts,
but like let's do something nice over the weekend
and spend some time together. And I was like, oh, no, I'm know we're not going to do gifts, but, like, let's do something nice over the weekend and spend some time together.
And I was like, oh, no, I'm marching Saturday, Sunday.
All day.
Oh, wow.
So, yeah, again, I'll wake up on my birthday and I'll go to marching
and then I won't come home till 5 o'clock on both days.
But I, you know.
You do want something.
Oh, it would be nice if I got, like, little gifts.
Oh, it would be nice.
You know, like, we're doing no gifts, but we're doing no gifts because,
I mean, I've kind of already bought him a gift.
Do you know what I mean?
I bought him a gift a few months ago.
Oh, right.
But that's outside of the birthday.
No, but it was a big gift.
So I was like, this is for your birthday.
And now and after that, we've decided we're not doing gifts.
Right.
So actually, I do feel a bit ripped off.
Put in the calendar Monday, ask Hayley how she feels about're not doing gifts. Right. Actually, I do feel a bit ripped off. Put in the calendar Monday,
ask Hayley how she feels about not getting a gift at the weekend.
I already know the answer, Your Honour.
I don't think I'm getting any gifts.
No.
Well, you asked for no gifts.
Well, I'll have the gift of...
Lucky you work with Fletch, famously a gift giver.
Oh, really?
And he's told me he's got something really big
to give you tomorrow.
Are you serious?
Vaughn knows I'm not a gift giver.
People don't need any more
material items. We've got enough.
Oh my God, it'll be like a voucher for my favourite restaurant.
Which he knows.
He knows what it is. Or like a voucher for
my favourite clothing store, which he also knows what it is.
And he knows you love spa and massage vouchers.
Oh my god,
I love to be touched.
He knows I love to be touched.
And being that he can't
bear to touch anybody.
Yes.
You know you're going
to go halves
if I'm guilted into
buying her anything.
Yep.
But it's all worth it
so when I transfer you
the money I can put
something silly
in the reference.
Yeah.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day is about cereal.
Again, I'm sorry because you're probably sick of hearing about it, listener.
But we're on a journey to health.
We're collectively encouraging each other to be better versions of ourselves.
Not just so we are undeniably sexy on the beach.
Oh, my God.
We look so sexy. Because that's down the list for me.
That's down the list for me.
I'm doing this for my wife, for my kids, you look so sad. Because that's down the list for me. That's down the list for me. I'm doing this for my wife,
for my kids,
for my mental health.
Wow.
Yeah, good.
I want to be around
for a little bit longer,
I've decided.
Wow, okay.
And plus,
I caught myself naked
sideways in a mirror
and it was real yuck.
So we're all in
a journey to health.
We've all invited ourselves
on our fitness apps. We have. We're sync. We journey to health. We've all invited ourselves on our fitness apps.
We have.
We're synced.
We're encouraging too.
It's not like it's competitive, but at the same time it's like nice competitive.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so Hayley currently at 14% of her daily goal.
I'm at 17 and Vaughn's at 9.
This is what I mean.
Like your metabolism as men is just burning faster than mine.
I'm the one who's been doing laps to the studio.
Yeah, you've been hurting around a bit.
Yeah, okay.
Damn these ovaries for wanting to bear a child. So, you've been herding around a bit. Yeah, okay.
Damn these ovaries for wanting to bear a child.
So, yeah, hold on to a little bit more.
I know.
You know, whereas what are our ovaries doing?
Exactly. Dormant, I think.
Dormant.
Dormant and out there trying to hunt and gather.
But then one day, like Tupo, they'll just explode.
Orangututu.
Our ovaries?
Yeah, will they?
Yeah, they're ticking time bombs.
We don't have any, do we? Yeah. Yo. Yeah, they're they're ticking time bombs We don't have any do we Yeah
Yo
Yeah they're just sitting
In there dormant
Like you know
Like the
What's the thing
That bursts the appendix
You don't need it
Oh god
Oh right okay
That's good
Oh god
Well we're talking about this
Because cereal
It's one thing
You kind of have to avoid
When
You scan that
In the old MyFitnessPal
And it's just like
No I wouldn't if I were you
No Oats though That's a superfood That's not a cereal That's not a cereal scan that in the old MyFitnessPal, and it's just like, no, I wouldn't if I were you. No.
Oats, though.
That's a superfood.
That's not a cereal.
That's not a cereal.
You drew the line there.
I didn't even mention it,
but oats are indeed from the cereal family.
They're not, and they're just straight up good for you.
So the cereals I'm talking about are your ones
that are targeted more at children.
Yeah, okay.
Your Coco Pops, your Honey Puffs,
your Skippy Corn Flakes, your Riceys.
All are the ones with a cartoon character on it.
Yep.
And you may have noticed that on the box or the bag,
wherever you find these animated mascots.
There's a barcode.
What?
There's a barcode.
What do you mean?
On the box?
Yeah.
Yeah, on the box.
That's not today's fact of the day.
Oh, okay.
Today's fact of the day isn't cereal boxes have barcodes.
You may have noticed.
Mind-blowing.
They just put it across this magic machine, it beeps,
and they know how much it costs.
I know, it's wild, right?
That's not today's.
Okay.
You may notice that all of the characters are looking down.
Their eye line is looking down.
Yeah.
Now, it might be towards
a bowl of said cereal.
But the actual
psychological reason
they're looking down is they're looking into
the eyes of children.
When they're on the shelves, this is no one.
This is no one. And children are walking
down the shelves and they look up because they're little.
They're little, aren't they?
Children famously little. And they look up. The character's looking at them in the eyes and they look up because they're little. They're little, aren't they? Yes. Children famously little.
And they look up.
The character's looking at them in the eyes.
And they're like, mommy.
That one.
I want that one.
Oh, the monkey's looking at me, mommy.
The monkey's looking at me.
I want that one.
This is why Whittakers make their chocolate blocks looking at you.
Directly in the eye.
Each block has a pair of eyes on the cover.
Yeah, one in the A and one in the D.
But you famously hate eye contact.
Yes.
I do, I do.
That would make you shy, I think, to Whittaker.
He gets shy when he looks at the chocolate.
He gets shy because the chocolate's looking in the eye and he gets bashful.
Looking at me.
Via that new hazel, by the way.
We're trying to be healthy.
I know, but last week when I wasn't
on the journey to health, it was so
good. All you do is talk about
Hazella or
cinnamon scrolls.
We've got to stop talking about this.
He harps on about cinnamon scrolls.
So I can see some examples of
New Zealand cereals. Cocoa Pops,
looking down. Honey Puffs, looking down.
Skippy from Skippy Corn Flakes, looking down.
Those naughty little snap crackling pop elves,
what are they looking down?
Are they together?
Like a thruple.
Yeah.
I thought it was always a good thing
there was some sort of sibling situation.
So did I.
Oh, okay.
Like triplets.
Never did I consider they were a thruple.
I mean, I'm all for it.
I'm a progressive man
I know you are
Oh my god I'm not judging
Yeah exactly
That would excite me
But I just don't know
The story there
I almost think they're non-binary
Oh right
There's nothing that says
Snaps a dude
Crackles a dude
Yeah right
Pop
There's nothing I don't think
Interesting well
Someone's got some
Explaining to do
Cap and Crunch looks down
Lucky Charms is looking down
You can't get Lucky Charms
In New Zealand
But that's an example.
So there you go.
Check this next time
you're in the supermarket.
I don't want to hear if I'm wrong.
Please inform Vaughn
if he's wrong.
Famously,
has anybody that's ever
tried to correct
a fact of the day?
I said,
look,
you've done 5,000.
There's going to be a couple
that slip through the cracks,
but no,
from my research,
it all looks legit.
So today's fact of the day
is the reason the characters
on the front of cereal boxes are looking down
is to catch the eyeline of children.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Just a quick update.
I said that I woke Sade up before I left
because she said she wanted to go to an early gym class.
She said, I think my body's in shock.
I said, how did the gym class go?
She said, getting up this early is incredibly yuck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, everybody listening now knows that. Yeah.
Yeah. Makes you want to throw up, doesn't it?
Yeah, it does sometimes.
You just want to cry on the drive to work.
I don't know. It's not for everybody.
But it's also a pleasure to be up this early.
It's a pleasure to be here.
It's a pleasure to be here.
Chilly start this morning as well, by the way.
I mean, not that you probably needed me to tell you
that. Coldest place right now, Tiano, minus 4.5.
And very low single digits across the South Island.
Christchurch currently one, Queenstown zero, Dunedin one.
With Tiano negative four, how nice would it be at Milford Sound right now?
It would be so crisp.
It would be crisp.
Yeah, absolutely.
But it might be stormy.
Yeah, could be. Could be stormy. Yeah, could be.
Could be stormy.
Beautiful.
I've got breaking lesbian news.
Do we have a sting for breaking lesbian news?
Oh, I could probably find some breaking news.
Yeah, absolutely.
No, a little bit lesbian specific.
We could probably use breaking gay news.
I don't have a breaking gay news.
Breaking LGBTI.
I've only got a breaking news.
Okay.
Breaking queer news. Yeah, could be. No, I don't have that. You don't have that either. What, I've only got a breaking news. Okay. Breaking queer news.
Yeah, it could be.
No, I don't have that.
You don't have that either.
What, breaking queer news or just breaking news?
No, I don't have any of those.
You don't have any breaking news?
I've just got a breaking news.
Oh, well, that'll do.
I mean, we can adapt.
Here we go.
This is Newstalk ZB Breaking News.
No one heard that it said News Talk ZB.
Well, normally Vaughan says...
News Talk Lesbian.
ZM.
This is News Talk Lesbian.
Oh, I dare not try to hog this.
This isn't mine.
I'm more than happy to share the news that it's official
that in the new Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo, our movie,
it's confirmed that Velma Dinkley,
cute little freckled Velma with glasses
and, you know.
Little mini skirt. Yeah.
She's a lesbian.
It's official. I mean,
duh.
Did you know all along? She's been
a, you know, a lesbian's icon.
Absolutely. For quite some time. Is it because she didn't
want anything to do with Fred? She was never into Fred. No. Fred was, you know, that was's icon. Absolutely. Is it because she didn't want anything to do with Fred?
She was never into Fred.
No.
Fred was,
you know,
that was Daphne's boy.
Yeah,
but you know,
Fred was a player.
He would have tried it on.
What was the thing he wore?
Was that a cravat?
Yes,
he did.
Is that what his choice
of neckwear was?
I reckon it's not long
until we've got breaking news
about him as well,
to be fair.
I think we might have to make
a breaking gay news sting.
Oh. Yeah. And then Shaggy's just going to sweep on might have to make a breaking gay news sting. Oh yeah.
And then Shaggy's just
going to sweep on in.
Yeah.
For Daphne.
Yeah yeah.
Unless she's also.
Well who knows.
I mean her and Velma.
It was the 70s.
Yeah and they were on
the road all the time
in that van.
Yeah.
Smoking God knows what.
Yeah.
So okay so in this new
episode is she going to
have like a lesbian lover
or would it be a lesbian ghost? There's a new movie A lesbian ghost
Alright
So James Gunn
Who
Yes
Did Peacemaker
And
Um
Guardians of the Galaxy
Yes
And
And the Suicide Squad movies
The second one
He
He actually wrote that
Early Scooby Doo
Oh okay
You know the live action Scooby Doo
With Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne.
Was it?
Pretty Prince Jr.
Yep.
And...
That guy.
Yeah, Matthew Lilly.
Yeah.
But you know who played Velma in that?
Who?
The lady who was in that show
with Christina Applegate that we liked
where she killed her husband.
Yes.
Super Instinct.
What is that show called?
The last season.
This is me.
Dead to me.
Dead to me.
Dead to me.
Dead to me.
That new season.
Linda Cordellini.
Yes.
The show's about to start again as well.
Cordellini.
Yeah, yeah.
So she was Velma in the one that he did.
That's right.
And he said he was very much trying to make it happen.
Right.
And like subtly nod to it.
Get her out.
Yeah, but they weren't super keen on it at the time.
But yeah, now it's sort of like.
Okay.
She meets a fashion designer, Coco Diablo,
and apparently, whoa, a ooga, a ooga.
Right.
Sort of old school cartoony.
Yeah, right.
Romantic feelings towards.
And then what if they get back to their house
and they start getting intimate in bed
and she pulls off a mask and realises it's not her.
And it was an old man.
It was a caretaker all along.
It's a caretaker.
It was an old man caretaker all along.
Trying to sleep with a lesbian.
Well, that's just terrible.
Because that's a Scooby-Doo episode on catfishing.
This is pretty cool when you think about young people
finally having like queer characters in front of them.
I'm trying to think about when I was young.
Yeah.
Who was...
No one really.
No one.
Not openly.
Maybe you're not.
I mean, the Pink Panther.
Oh, what about...
What about...
The Smurf, the real, like, the real mustly Smurf.
The Jack one.
The Jack Smurf.
Don't tell me he wasn't visiting gay saunas inside mushrooms.
I'd argue Yogi Bear dabbles.
I would have put Yogi Bear big bi energy.
Yeah, big bye energy.
We're going to get a picket basket, boo boo.
He was just taking everything and everything.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn
and Hayley.
Producer Jared sent us this video
to the group chat yesterday and we all had
a great chortle, but then it kind of started
this, and a few other groups of
mates that I talked to about, it kind of
started this debate on whether or not this was a little underhanded.
The New Zealand police apparently somewhere in South Auckland
had a cop, a plainclothes police officer,
at an intersection, a traffic light intersection,
dressed up as a window washer.
Yeah, and somebody had recognised him because he'd been arrested or ticketed.
Yeah, so apparently that police officer was watching four people on their phones
or running red lights and would radio ahead to the police officers stationed down the road
and they'd know which car to pull over.
And they'd say, we've seen you, and they're like, how?
Back there.
Yeah.
There was no one there.
And so somebody worked out it was one of the window washers.
He's the cop that gave me the ticket.
It's the cop there. He's the cop that gave me the ticket. It's the cop there. He's the cop that gave me the ticket.
Yeah, yeah.
He's pretending to be a window washer.
So what they do is they stand here
and they dress up in hoodies
with a window washer thing.
And they're looking and they're trying to get
people tickets for fines
for maybe phones,
seatbelts.
So, what are your thoughts?
The police came out and have had to...
The police have admitted that they said plain clothes,
we use plain clothes, police officers,
and undercover police officers all the time.
Perhaps dressing this person up as a window washer wasn't appropriate.
Because that's what people have the problem with, right?
Yeah.
This could be someone down and out.
But then, like, I mean, you watch, like, police shows all the time,
and they always dress up homeless people.
Totally.
I saw a comment on Reddit, and someone was like,
this happened to me, I was walking down Queen Street,
and this homeless guy asked me if I had a hit.
I'm assuming marijuana.
Yeah, right.
And he said, oh, yeah, but I wanted to help somebody out.
I was in a bit of trouble, gave it,
and the guy stood up and took off his thing.
Oh, my God.
I was like, what of trouble, gave it, and the guy stood up and took off his thing. Oh, my God.
I was like, what?
A big reveal.
Like, at the moment, there are jewellery stores and malls getting ramrated all the time.
Like, why not have an undercover cop outside a jewellery store
dressed as, like, a Westfield cleaner?
Like, not at the traffic lights ticketing people
for being on their phone.
But the mop is a gun.
But the mop is a gun. But the mop is a gun.
But do you know what?
Like it doesn't seem like a good use of resources.
No, and that was the thing in the video when the guy hits up the undercover cop,
four more cops arrive.
Yeah, so they're all there.
There's like five or six police doing this just to ticket people for being on their phones.
I know people can cause accidents and people can die in accidents.
It is a thing, yeah.
It is a thing.
Our road toll is out of control
and if people running red lights
or being on their phone
when driving
can reduce that by 10 people a year,
isn't it worth it?
That was my thoughts on it.
But then when there are like
ram raids and crime sprees
happening on the daily.
I know, but it's always
going to be what's worse.
You don't know where
they're going to happen. At jewellery stores You don't know where they're going to happen. At jewellery
stores, you do know where they're going to happen.
But which jewellery store?
Whereas the roads are just everywhere, you know.
The other day, walking home down Queen Street,
there was actually an undercover cop
with cops sat outside
a jewellery store. But then that was
parked behind a marked police car.
So I was like, you guys are doing this all wrong.
It's a bit obvious. I watch The Wire, guys. Yeah, I don't think anyone's are doing this all wrong. Yeah, it's a bit obvious.
It's a bit obvious.
I watch The Wire, guys.
Yeah, I don't think anyone's robbing this jewellery store when there's a cop car parked outside it.
No.
But maybe that was the idea.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah, so the internet was like ablaze last night.
It was that whole classic, like, if you're not breaking the law,
you've got nothing to worry about.
But then the whole, well, it's underhanded.
Yeah.
It's sneaky.
It's like actively trying to catch you out.
Vaughn and I have been in the car.
I won't say Vaughn and I.
I'll say Vaughn has been caught with a sneaky sting for being on his phone.
Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Come on.
We were in New Plymouth and we were going along a road and I was like,
I don't know where we're going.
And I had the maps and I passed it over to you as we went past one police officer.
Which made me an accomplice.
Who radioed ahead and said, that guy's on his phone
and then when we pulled up, she was pretty quick
to say, you were holding my phone with the maps on it.
So I just said, I was just literally passing it over
to him. Yeah.
She was hiding behind a pole
or she was up high
looking down. Hiding behind a pole?
Was she really skinny and she was like, boop?
No, no, no. It was like the minute you're like,
oh, there's a police officer.
And then the next one was like,
pull over.
Yeah.
Get over there.
We got out of it though.
I think because we're cute.
It is because we're a couple of cuties.
Yeah, because we were just flooded.
I've never gotten out of a ticket.
I've had to pay everyone.
Yeah, because you're not cute.
You're not cute enough.
Yeah.
Somebody messaged in,
they're going around the wrong way
because you're supposed to be able to feel safe
and trust the police whenever you see them.
But this comes off as a little bit sneaky
and maybe you can't trust them in every occasion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But also get off your phone.
But again, it's a hmm.
And where were they doing it?
Because this one was...
South Auckland.
Yeah, I know, but is it happening everywhere or is it...
And were they just dressing someone up as a window washer in South Auckland
or were they doing that if they were doing it in other suburbs as well?
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
What would be some better options to go under for...
On the North Shore.
Yeah.
You dress up as an old lady with one of those little toey trolley things
you're off down to the supermarket.
And your radar gun's in there, your gun's in there.
If you're undercover in Ponsonby, you'd be a Lululemon mum.
Yes.
You'd have the pram.
The pram,
the puffer vest,
the Lululemons.
What about if you're in Wellington?
You're just doing a little sting in Wellington.
You're a busker.
Oh,
brilliant.
Yes.
A busker with a sort of ruster beanie.
Or a nondescript government employee.
Yes.
You know,
you see them all the time,
they've got lanyards
and the same things on
and you're like,
what do you do for the government
Yeah there's only two types
Of people in Wellington
Rusters
Or government workers
And baristas
But they're all inside
Barista rising
Yeah
Barista rising in the coffin
We want to know
What month you were cheated on
Because apparently
September
Is the month
We are most likely
To be cheated on
Now I'm wondering
If this is a hemispherical situation.
This is out of America.
So it's...
Northern hemisphere.
It's like the end of summer.
It's autumn.
Heading into winter.
Getting colder.
Just before the spooky season.
Getting darker.
So maybe you want to snuggle up.
Maybe you've got the end of that.
You've got, you know, you're looking good.
You've had the summer.
You're bright.
So would that make March or October?
March.
March.
It wouldn't be the same month but in the southern hemisphere.
Okay.
So what I've done is I've got an A4 piece of paper.
I've turned it sideways.
So that's gone landscape.
That's landscape.
I've written a shorthand for the months across the top.
Where did you go on Octo? I know I made a mistake. And you'll see across the top. Where have you gone?
Octo.
I know I made a mistake, and you'll see I put August.
I put Ogu.
Ogu and Octo, but all the rest of them are three letters.
Okay.
So we want to know from you this morning,
what month have you been cheated on?
We just want that.
Text in 9696.
No details of the cheat, the when, the where, the what?
Okay.
You're more than welcome to call as well.
0800 DALES AT M.
Maybe you do have a great story you want to share.
I don't want to know the stories.
I just want as many callers or as many texters as we can
with what month were you cheated on?
And are we taking the month that it started?
Do you want to hear from people that have been cheated on
in the same month multiple times?
Yes.
Oh my God, yeah.
Maybe imagine that.
There's something
biannually they get cheated on.
About you in that month
that just drives your lover
into the arms of another.
Now, do you know...
Hunter, I'm going to start
recording these.
I can't recall being cheated on,
but do you think
you were cheated on
when you were dumped in December
on Christmas Day?
No. Are you sure? Yeah December? On Christmas Day? No.
Are you sure? Yeah, no, I'm pretty positive
she was just had her guts for.
Wow, these are
pouring in.
And Bourne is struggling to tell me.
Every month for two years, yes, but I want
to know what it started on. August and thrown
in December. Yeah, because if somebody was being
cheated on for two years every month,
you just want the month
that started.
If you know.
But I will say though
that this stat
that September
is the most cheated on month
would have been
true in your case
if you had gone through
with Jason Momoa.
Yeah.
Because he was here
the last week of September.
It would have been September
that I cheated on Aaron.
Yeah, but it never happened.
Someone said...
Didn't it?
Someone said...
Did it not happen? Did it not? Someone said rugby season. Now, but it never happened. Someone said... Didn't it? Did it not happen?
Someone said rugby season.
When does that start?
That's winter.
Training starts
in May, June.
Someone said New Year's Eve.
But I'm not sure if it was New Year's Eve or New
Year's Day, so that could be a December or a
January. I'd go December.
Can you give a half a point to December?
The intention was there.
The intention was there in December.
So September's just had a couple more come in.
March.
Twice in August, one in January.
Thank you for your...
I mean, that's sad that this happened three times.
Oh, that's so sad.
Yeah, three times.
Too trusting, maybe.
Chuck another in for December.
All right, well, 0800-DARLS-N.
October, November, December, January.
So the warmer months aren't yours then.
See, but I wonder, is that four different occasions of cheating
or is that it started in October?
Well, I won't record.
I'll put one in for October, but wait for further correspondence
to see if they were just separate incidences.
Someone said Crate Day.
Now what day does that fall on?
Yes.
November.
First Saturday in November.
Maramba.
December.
First day in December.
Yeah, okay, so there you go. He's our Crate Day queen. All right, 0800DARLSM. First Saturday in November Maramba December First day in December Yeah okay
I do apologise
He's our crate day queen
And hen vest
0800
She'll punish a couple of swappers
Oh mate I've seen her
On the Leon Rouge
We want to hear from you
Especially if you've been
Tatted on multiple times
In the same month
As we keep our stats coming in
0800
You know what
9696
Early stages
Texts alone
It's September, October and December In a three-way tie for the lead.
We love a summer fling. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole.
If you don't already have them, do you want them?
Kids.
Oh, God.
You bloody hetero breeders.
The planet is already even enough.
Hetero breeders. The planet is already even enough. Hetero breeders.
Who just announced what celebrity is having like their 10th or not?
Oh, Nick Cannon.
No, Nick Cannon's already had it.
That's a disorder, right?
I think he's on 11th.
Yeah, and there's someone else that's like up to their 6th or 7th or 8th.
Alec Baldwin had a 7th.
Like, stop it. Yeah. It's a lot, isn. Six or seventh or eight. Ellicott, Baldwin had a seventh. Like, stop it.
Yeah.
It's a lot, isn't it?
Stop it.
There's snippity-dippities for that.
Yeah, and we've got enough people on the planet.
Well, look, I'll take one for the team.
You won't?
Yeah, I won't.
Well, you guys, if we were doing it in studio,
that would be 66%.
I mean, I've already got them, so I sit this one out.
Yeah.
So we're 100% no.
This was a poll for those that don't already have kids.
Do you want them?
71% said yeah, one day.
And 29% said no.
That's actually quite a high percentage.
Yeah.
I think, like a reflection of the times.
Some feedback on the manner.
Amy says puppies are way better.
Yeah, they are.
They're just as much work.
You just have a cat. A cat, yeah. You can leave a Yeah they are. They're just as much work. Get yourself a cat.
A cat yeah.
You can leave a cat
for longer.
Emma says my younger
brother and his partner
just had a baby and it
made me pretty clucky
so yes.
Nicola no because
they're expensive AF
and loud AF.
Oh yeah they're so
loud.
Yeah.
They don't shut up
either.
They keep on going and
then they get a job in
radio and then they're
grown ups and they
won't shut up then. They keep on going and then they get a job in radio and then they're grown-ups and they won't shut up then either.
Yeah.
Caroline says, hell no, far too expensive and I would have to give up going out
to restaurants, travelling and sleeping in.
Yes, I'm selfish, but I don't care.
It's not selfish.
It's not selfish to just live your life for yourself.
No.
It just sucks though when you go down that road that you are just opening yourself up to.
Are you going to have a baby?
Are you going to have a baby?
When are you having a baby?
Any news?
Any?
This is my mum.
The only reason I'd have a baby is because I think my parents would be really good grandparents.
You could do that.
Yeah, you could do that.
Then you have it and they raise it.
Fungi.
Yeah, but then.
They've made the offer.
Have they?
Your dad.
What, is Craig here for this?
They need hobbies.
They need hobbies.
I know.
The joy of being a grandparent has been able to just give them back.
Yeah.
My mum has said many times,
the reward for having children
is you get to be a grandparent one day.
Right.
I mean, she put that on us very young,
so we knew it was written in the stars.
Yeah.
Jess said,
I always said I wanted to have five, and everyone says, wait until you have one, it was written in the stars. Yeah. Jess said, I always said
I wanted to have five
and everyone says,
wait until you have one
and I say, shut up.
Wow, five.
No.
Sarah makes a great point.
There's already enough people
in the world
and let's be honest,
people suck.
Yeah, we're the worst bit.
We're the worst bit.
Jessica says,
literally,
no desire to be a parent
plus the thought
of being pregnant is terrifying.
Keen to just be a fun auntie, rile them up, feed them sugar, and then hand them back.
Yeah, that sounds fun.
Tash and Squeakles.
I think Squeakles must be the cat that's in Tash's profile picture.
No thank you.
Babies are very sticky.
They are sticky.
They are a sticky thing, aren't they?
Head to toe, thank you. Babies are very sticky. Our sticky. Our sticky thing. Head to toe, quite sticky.
Christy says, I've got one and I want at least two more.
I'm sorry, Christy, you've already got one.
You're not part of the poll.
This question was for people who don't have them.
You're excluded.
Disqualify her.
Redact.
My partner is Canadian, says Tash,
but I haven't met his family yet because of COVID,
so no babies until I meet.
Got to see what the in-laws are like first.
That's clever.
Because you have a baby,
and then you're literally tied to these people forever.
But they could have a Canadian lake house.
Oh, that'd be nice.
Because doesn't everyone in Canada have a lake house?
And a moose.
Everyone in Canada has a moose and a lake house.
Right.
And a maple syrup tree.
That they just go out to and turn on the tap.
Yeah, they got a tap cranked into it.
They tap it into the tree and just turn, they put their pancakes under the tap.
Yeah, yum.
And just turn on the tap.
Turn on, yeah.
We should move to Canada.
I know, it sounds so great, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But they have beers.
And not like, you know, not gay beers.
No, not gay beers.
Not gay beers or fizzy beers.
Actual grizzly beers.
Yeah, yeah.
They're not fizzy beers.
They're only grizzly because you can.
Sour beers.
Saying they're angry. You know when you're not angry and someone says, why are you angry? And that makesly beers. Yeah, yeah. They're not fizzy beers. They're only grizzly because you can... Sour beers. Saying they're angry.
You know when you're not angry
and someone says,
why are you angry?
And that makes you angry.
I'm not.
We've called them grizzly beers.
They're actually like
pretty nice guys.
Yeah.
They get angry too
when you spray that
beer spray in their face.
I know.
They're like,
rah, boo, rah.
And everyone's like,
ah, shoot, or spray.
And they're like,
why, why?
And then that's
when they get angry
because you spray them
with mace.
I'd be angry too. Yeah. And you go, not everybody wants children. Stop asking people when they're like, why, why? And then that's when they get angry. Because you spray them with mace, they'll be angry too.
Yeah.
There you go.
Not everybody wants children.
Stop asking people when they're having children.
Uber Pool.
Now that's new in New Zealand, I believe.
Yeah, this has been overseas for a while.
It's like the Uber version of an airport shuttle.
So you can order it, but you've also got to stop and pick up some other people along the way.
Yeah.
But as a result, it's significantly cheaper.
Yeah.
So it's good if you want to save some money.
And it's mostly for around town.
What?
Yuck.
Yuck other people.
Shuttles.
Oh, shuttle.
Airport shuttles are the worst.
I've never been in a shuttle where I've been the first person dropped off.
I know.
You never are.
You never are.
No.
Never.
And your shuttle driver's like, we've just got to wait for one more passenger.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
They're on our flight?
Yes.
But apparently they're rolling off the plane and doing forward rolls all the way here,
so it might take some time.
Yeah.
And then their baggage somehow has been sent to Sri Lanka.
But we'll wait for the flight Sri Lanka to get back.
Or when you're on your way to the airport and you pull up at their house
and they're not ready.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Like, I'm useless.
Or they're just waking up.
I'm useless, but I'll always be ready for a shuttle.
I'm not.
I literally kept a shuttle on Saturday morning.
See, this is why I hate shuttles.
Yes. I hate shuttles. Yes.
I hate shuttles.
All the comedians were waiting
and I had to be banged on the door to get up.
So in UberPool, you would be already waiting
because you've called the Uber on your app.
So you may, on your way to your destination,
go on a slight detour.
Which is why it's interesting that they've done this research
because it seems counterintuitive to what UberPool is.
Because this research is around the impact on us
and how we now socialise post-pandemic.
Right.
I know you feel this a bit, Vaughan,
with, you know, like the way that you want to engage socially
in big groups has changed post-pandemic.
Oh, I do not.
Yeah.
It was there pre-pandemic, it's just really amplified.
Exasperated.
So new research commissioned by UberPool
reveals that 86% of Kiwis have gone to extreme lengths
to avoid socialising.
Almost a quarter can't even remember the last time
they proactively spoke to a stranger.
Well, this works either way for Uber though, eh?
Because they're saying like UberPool,
if you like strangers, you can take this.
You've got to get together.
Yeah.
You can still take traditional Uber.
Yeah, I guess so.
But then this is, you're going to be saving a bit less,
a bit more money.
So people will be forced to talk to.
I mean, you're not worth it.
How much?
Not worth it.
A dollar or two?
God.
Young millennials are the worst.
A whopping 68% say they actively avoid people at the shops,
choosing to take
a different aisle
if they see someone
they vaguely know.
Oh yeah,
would you do that?
I'd do that.
Totally.
Oh,
I can't bother.
I see people I know
that I just,
I'm not in the mood
to talk to at that time
and I will.
Yeah.
I see people I like.
I'm like,
not now.
I wish I was close enough
for them to be like.
You wouldn't do that
to us.
No,
I probably would
because I see you
at work all day
so we've sort of exasperated all of our talking points.
I've got to say something for tomorrow.
Then I can come in and I can be like,
you'll never guess who I avoided tomorrow or yesterday.
And then we're like, when did you see a friend and avoid them?
It's a chirpy radio bit.
It's an absolutely chirpy radio bit.
57% of Kiwis admit to lying about being sick to miss a social event.
Gen Zers are the worst offenders.
72% admitting to doing this.
They don't party like I used to party.
You couldn't hold me back from a party.
You sound old when you say stuff like that.
If we talk about how every time we book an Uber with Executive Intern Anya's account,
we get a dud one.
One turned up with a banana peel on the seat.
Were you in the car with the banana peel? No.
Oh, yes. You were in the car with the banana peel.
I was. No, we weren't
because we took the chimney. But every time,
it's a classic. I was the Uber driver. Imagine
an Uber driver pulled up in the chimney. How cute. We can go anywhere.
Four-wheel drive. Oh, my God. Cute. No space,
though. No space. Chuck it on the roof.
But, yeah, I think she's got a dud account.
Yeah, she's been flagged, I think, by Uber. She just gets the new ones But yeah, I think she's got a dud account. Yeah, she's been flagged
by Uber. She just gets the
new ones. Why do I always have to go with her?
There's no room in the chimney.
You're like, girls.
I know, but she always gets the worst Ubers.
Carween, don't look at me like that. You know that
Anna orders us an Uber and it's always a dodgy one.
Tell me.
Oh, we can't hear you.
It's always the worst Uber
Why has she got a bad Uber
What has she done
Does she have a chunny
In an Uber
She must have
She must have
She showed us her Uber thing
And it doesn't say
That she's got a low score
But there must be
A flag on her
Remember when she
Lived in Whangarei
But still worked in Auckland
Actually it wasn't Whangarei
It was pretty close though
She was way up there
Maybe they got sick of driving
Or were all the way up there and then having
no one to bring back. But Carween and I
are the ones who have to suffer and sit in her
musty,
banana peel on the seat.
Well, your wife's had a chunny in an Uber. Do you have this
problem when she calls an Uber?
Well, that was on my account.
That she had the chunny in the Uber.
Well, I did spend a good part of 90
minutes at 4 o'clock in the morning
after a wedding cleaning up Harry's Uber.
Yeah.
And I made Harry a cup of soup,
which is a weird thing to drink after you've seen someone chunny.
It's weird.
Because it's a chunky, weird drink.
He doesn't want your soup.
He just wants his Uber clean so he can leave your house.
Or a cup of tea or a coffee.
Be normal.
No, I was.
I said, would you like something to drink?
And he was like, I can't.
I'm like, tea, coffee.
And I was looking and I was like, cup of soup.
And he was like, oh, yeah.
And he had a cup of soup.
Wow, what flavour?
I was like, it was pumpkin.
I was like, that's interesting.
You've literally just seen a chunky pumpkin down the side of your car.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, it's time for the impossible finding topic,
a topic we think is so impossible,
we won't get any calls.
We'll be lucky to.
This is inspired by an article I read about a man called Fader Hussein from Portsmouth.
He, for his birthday, thought he'd go on a hike
and he chose Mont Blanc.
For reference, it is the highest peak in Western Europe.
It straddles Switzerland, France, and the Alps.
Is it that real jaggedy one?
Jaggedy ass.
It actually looks like a Toblerone.
Yeah, it does.
It does look like a Toblerone.
And it's where the high-end goods label gets its name from, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Yeah, there is a Mont Blanc, isn't it?
Yeah.
Anyway, so usually this is a, you'd say a high-level mountain.
Mountaineers would do this hike.
It's not a, you don't park in the visitor's car park and do it in a day and back.
In your shorts.
Yeah, no.
Well, usually you would have your full hiking gear.
You'd be totally prepared.
Yeah.
You'd be prepared for the day hike and you'd be prepared
in case you got stuck.
He was not.
Shock, horror.
He actually went up
in a track suit
and a pair of old hiking boots.
Okay.
A track suit.
Anyway, he got trapped.
The weather turned on him
and he had his phone.
He phoned for help,
but obviously they couldn't get up
because the weather was so bad.
So he had to spend the night
in sub-zero temperatures.
By the time they arrived
to rescue him, he was five minutes from dying.
Oh wow. Five minutes
from dying. So was there snow?
Yeah. It's that time of the year
there'd be some... It's just high enough altitude.
Just high enough that there is. It was just high.
Yeah, okay. Wow.
He called his family,
said his goodbyes and whatnot.
I didn't even know there would be a reception up there,
but apparently he had it.
He said, don't worry about me.
I'm going to die in a minute.
Hung up the phone and blacked out.
Then he woke up in hospital.
And had been rescued.
And had been rescued.
You see this, though?
Like growing up in Taranaki and going up the mountain all the time,
in a minute or two, the weather can change
so drastically. You can be in no
clouds one minute and a few minutes later
just be engulfed and
surrounded by clouds. So I'm just showing the guys a photo.
Oh wow, that's like alpine.
It is thick, deep snow.
That is what you'd call
alpine conditions.
So if you've ever taken your own temperature, you know how
it sits about 37? Yeah. And if it's too high, you've got a temperature, if you've ever taken your own temperature, you know how it sits about 37? Yeah.
And if it's too high, you've got a fever.
His body temperature, when they rescued him into the body temperature reading,
because if you're too cold, they can't automatically just chuck you in a hot bath.
No, you'll break.
And also, if they point that temperature gun at him,
they won't let him into Mecca if he's too hot.
Yeah, exactly.
Into the makeup store.
Yeah, the makeup store.
Yeah, they lazy a whore.
Not the religious pilgrimage spot. No. Both should be watching temperatures, you know? Yeah, exactly. And the makeup store. Yeah, the makeup store. Yeah, they lazy a whore. Not the religious pilgrimage spot.
No.
Both should be watching temperatures, you know.
Absolutely, yeah.
His body temperature was 25 degrees Celsius.
Whoa.
The dude was cold.
Freezing.
Anyway, he survived,
and this is what got me thinking for our impossible phoner.
Have you survived in the wilderness?
And I don't mean, you know, you went up, buddy,
a three-hour hike and it took five hours.
Because you kept stopping for Graham.
Yeah.
But when you, like, got stuck somewhere
or you bit off more than you could chew.
You had to be rescued.
Yeah, you bit off more than you could chew.
You were unprepared.
You got caught in the heat or the cold.
And you survived the wilderness. He wasn't as unprepared. You got caught in the heat or the cold and you survived
the wilderness.
He wasn't as unprepared
as you said.
He had a tent with him
and by tent,
I mean simple tarpaulin
he planned to...
Oh my God.
Oh, babe.
And the dude's
an aeronautical engineer.
Oh, wow.
I don't want to go
on any planes
he's designing.
I'll stay out of his planes.
So,
all 800 dials at him
for the impossible final.
We want to hear from you now.
You can text as well, 9696.
Have you survived in the wild?
Our impossible phone-in topic.
Have you survived in the wild?
Something went wrong and you made it out.
Liz, good morning.
Good morning, guys.
Good morning.
So, what happened?
Was this you?
So, this wasn't me.
This was my grandmother.
She was about 70 at the time.
So she's always been an avid hiker,
and she always does trips all the time.
So she was on a multiple-day trip.
I can't remember which range it was in New Zealand,
but she had to be helicoptered in.
Wow.
So on day two of her trip,
she had a stroke
in the middle of nowhere
and had to wait
18 hours
for the helicopter
to come back
and get her.
Oh, wow.
She survived
and about four
or five months later
she was off
to Alice Springs
in Australia
to do another trip.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah.
Bloody hell, she's lucky.
Yeah, well I don't know how long ago this was, but that's why now you can get those
little like emergency beacons.
You can press it.
Yes.
So this was, it must have been about 12 years ago.
Yeah, right.
Okay, wow.
So lucky to be alive.
So many messages coming in.
Some incredible survival stories.
Yeah, I was Form 2 on school camp.
Got lost in the damn bush.
Spent two days in hospital with hypothermia.
At school camp?
Yeah, transferred to Palm Hill.
Wasn't allowed to go on school camps after that.
No.
Were the teachers allowed to run school camps after that?
Yeah.
I went camping to impress a boy, even though I'm highly allergic to grass.
Ended up in hospital with an IV of
antihistamines and steroids after an extreme
allergic reaction. Wow.
And I got caught once in heavy rain going
from my car to the supermarket.
Wow. What an incredible
story of survival there.
That's amazing.
It just makes you really appreciate every day, doesn't it?
Everything you've got.
Yeah. God, you know, you enter the
supermarket, you're wet.
Yeah.
Or I will give you stories of survivors.
It's not over once you get there.
Coming in.
ZM.
Play.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
The three of us this week have absolutely reignited our journey, haven't we?
Our journeys to health.
It's been fantastic.
We've all synced up on the watches,
which I really enjoy.
Fletch hasn't,
you haven't accepted my rings.
No,
it won't let me invite you.
No,
I invited you.
I'll show you what happens.
I go to accept and it errors.
Okay.
Because I don't know.
I won yesterday.
What do you mean you won?
I won.
I closed my rings yesterday.
but I had the most,
I only just closed mine.
I've done mine by,
sort by move.
So it shows me who's, of all my friends, who's leading.
I'm on the bottom, eh?
Oh, I moved a lot yesterday.
It's a big D energy move.
I've set my rings as the most.
I think you've set your rings a bit higher,
so maybe I don't want you on my friends.
Okay, well, I closed mine yesterday.
I'll invite you again.
Now, what about the fact that just naturally men have a faster metabolism,
so you'll burn more calories in a year?
All right.
All right, tits.
No, I'm just saying.
All right, we'll have your excuses.
I'm just saying I'm a bit disadvantaged here.
No, but you can still move.
It's about moving.
It's not about.
I did move yesterday, closed my rings,
but they're a lot lower than yours because for me to burn what you're burning.
I think I just run faster.
Yeah, but my body is consciously trying to store fat
so I can bear you a child.
Me specifically?
Yeah.
You never know.
We've got to keep the human race going.
It might come down to you and me, Vaughn.
We've got to do it.
Okay.
Well, I'll hold off on the vasectomy then.
We could all be in a bunker.
The three of us could be in a bunker
when the world goes to nuclear war
and we leave the bunker
and we're the only people left on the planet.
It's you, too, and me.
It's too much.
It's too much.
It's too much to repopulate.
I feel slightly hard done by here.
I just let...
I think we would be better to just let humans...
I think we would just be better to let humanity die.
And it would just die with us. Yeah, yeah, fair call. You think about everything we've got. Okay, that's an insult to just let humans. I think it would just be better to let humanity die. And it would just die with us.
Yeah, fair call.
You think about everything.
Okay, that's an insult to you, really.
What Vaughn's saying.
Yeah.
I think we should work on percentages
because it's the percentage of what you set.
So yesterday, Fletch, for example,
you beat all your goals 118%.
I landed 100 to the dime.
I didn't take my watch off until I hit the mark.
Right.
And then Vaughn,
you were 158%.
So it's whatever goal
you were sitting.
Yeah, but he sets his bar low.
No, no, he has his higher than...
I'll set my bar high.
Oh, no, yours is higher.
Well, you know what?
All of this could be in vain.
Exactly.
Because thanks to...
We're wasting our time.
Yeah, thanks to science.
We could just go home,
sit on the couch, take a pill,
and it would have the exact same effect as exercise.
That is what is in the works.
Scientists say they are one step closer to developing a fat-melting pill
that could mimic the effects of exercise.
No, no, no, no, no.
This isn't one of those terrible ones where you poop yourself or you...
Zinni-cowl or whatever.
Yeah, you do a fart and your undies are full of like that slimy liquid.
None of that. So what it does is it
specifically looks at
mesenchymal
stem cells, which morph
into fat storing machines.
That's the thing that it's targeting
because exercise is usually the thing that flips
the switch on that. But this pill would be
able to do that. What about, that pill
wouldn't be able to like tone your muscles,
right?
Like you wouldn't.
Nah, brah,
you still have to lift.
You still have to lift, brah.
Yeah.
Brah, you're going to have
to lift a little bit.
But in terms of the fat melting.
This is the shred.
And it makes the dirty bulk
more of just a bulk.
So you could be,
actually you could be
dirty bulking 24-7
with burgers and chips
and still shredding.
And still shredding.
I like this idea.
It's not that far away.
I mean, it's saying like, obviously, get up and go.
And also exercise gives you so much more.
Like for me, it's more the mental.
It's the same.
It's more how I feel.
Yeah, exactly.
The energetic.
And you're not going to get that feeling with a pill.
No.
You're still going to feel lethargic and a bit like meh.
It's strictly the physical fat melting component of exercise.
That's why a lot of us
do the exercise.
I know.
When we say we're doing it
for our mental health.
Our mental health is when
we caught ourselves naked
in a mirror looking
side on.
Oh damn, is that me?
That was really bad
for my mental health.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, we're on a journey
but I might beat you guys
in our journey to health.
Okay, well let's another day, but I might beat you guys in our journey to health. Okay, well, let's...
With this pill.
Another day, another day to close the rings.
I don't know if this is fascinating or a bit ooh.
Okay.
You've got, what colour eyes do you have?
Brown.
Look at me, though.
I think you're more in the hazel party with me and Vaughn.
We're three hazel babies.
Vaughn's definitely the most hazel.
There's something that makes mine at some stages look green.
Same.
It's when my eyes are red.
When you're bloodshot eyes.
Yeah.
I was just thinking mine was more of an environmental factor,
like a certain type of light or something.
No, mine's if my eyes are red like I've been crying or I'm tired.
You look green. Which is daily. Right. So basically mine's if my eyes are red like I've been crying or I'm tired. You look green.
Which is daily.
Right.
So basically I've got green eyes.
They look more green.
Well, apparently they've worked out,
and by they I mean the scientists,
have worked out that every blue-eyed person
is a descendant of the same person.
Oh, that's not good.
Right.
So that's fine. what do you mean?
There would have only been a certain amount of people
Way back when
Yeah, well there's Adam and Eve
Like how far back are we going?
If it was like everybody with blue eyes is related
And the person lived a hundred years ago
I'd have questions
That person's lived with a lot of people
But I'm just
10,000 years ago 10,000 years ago.
10,000 years ago is when they said.
Really?
Okay.
The genetic mutation that is blue eyes,
which plagues 8% to 10% of the population.
Plagues.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, poor you.
You've got blue eyes. Oh, my God.
Poor you with your shocking, beautiful blue eyes.
Blue eyes.
People get away with murder.
Literal murder.
Literal murder. They say it started from a singular human
who lived between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago.
They had the mutation.
But if you're with your partner right now
and they've got blue eyes and you've got blue eyes,
you're a little bit related.
Yeah, but it's way back.
If you're with your partner right now
and your family's from Ireland
and their family's from Ireland,
I've got bad news as well.
You're definitely sleeping with someone
that's related to you, but still related. family's from Ireland, I've got bad news as well. You're definitely sleeping with someone that's related to you
distantly, but still related.
That's basically it, is that you share the common
mutation that
makes your eyes blue.
When you're a baby, they don't change.
Because yeah, babies are all
born with a bluish eye and they change.
Yeah, so next time you, you blue-eyed
person are looking into the blue eyes of your lover. It's the green eyes for me, it's the green eyes. Change. Yeah, so next time you, you blue-eyed person,
are looking into the blue eyes of your lover.
It's green eyes for me.
It's the green eyes.
Really?
Really like, well, they're rarer than blue eyes,
like a proper green eye.
Yeah, sparkly green.
2% of the population.
Guys, what about my nice brown eyes?
Yeah.
Common is already muck, mate. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Fletchvorn and Hayley's Top Picks.
Our Top Picks, thanks to Neon,
also giving you the chance to win $100,000 for Secret Sound.
We're going to give you three of our favourite shows
that are on Neon,
but we also give you a chance as well each week to
win. Carly, good morning.
Hi. What is your
top recommendation on Neon?
Like Handmaid's Tale
all day. It's so
good. Have you watched the new season?
Have you watched it last
night?
Ah!
Oh my god. My neck started slow, shush, shush. Shush, shush, shush. Oh, my God.
Okay, all right.
My head started slow, but it is taking off.
Okay, all right.
Slow burn, slow burn.
Good, good, good.
Well, hey, we've got for you a three-month Neon subscription, so you can add that to
your subscription, and a $250 Prezi card.
Awesome.
All right, well done.
Thank you.
Thanks, Carly.
Hayley, you've got a pick on Neon.
I've got the pick.
I know this might have been an obvious choice
because I know we're all fans,
so I took it for the team.
But I love this show, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Oh, it's brilliant.
It's one of the classics.
It went for so many seasons
and then it had a massive break
and then it came back
and it's at 11 seasons.
He's confirmed another season.
Another one, the 12th, yeah.
Original release was October 15th, 2000.
And then, yeah, there's another season.
So it's literally been going for 22 years.
But there's a massive break.
Larry David, just a legend.
Obviously wrote Seinfeld,
and that was also one of the biggest shows of all time,
undeniably.
His humour, it's so painful.
It's so human.
It's almost like, it reminds me of Ricky Gervais' David Brent.
And actually I was listening to Ricky Gervais
on Smart List the other day,
and he says, Larry David, huge comedy inspo.
So funny, and absurd, and funny, and ridiculous, and cringey.
Always has amazing celeb cameos as well.
Huge cameos.
So good.
Okay, so Coober Enthusiasm on neon.
I'm going to go Gangs of London.
If you haven't seen it,
if you haven't seen it because season two
is being made
and is about to
be on Neon
it's hard for me
to get invested
in a one seasoner
because then I get so hooked
and I'm like
I need another one now
it's really good
I know you loved it
as well
loved it
main guy
was in Peaky Blinders
his name
Joe Cole
was in his name
yeah
you'll recognise
quite a few of the actors
in it
it's very good
It's very well done
Oh yeah
It's all over the place
My one is
One you might not
Have heard of
It is
An American comedy
Starring Vanessa Bayer
Who was on
Saturday Night Live
For many years
She played
Amazing characters
On that
I love that for you
And it's a story
It's kind of based
On her childhood
As a young teenager,
she got diagnosed with leukemia and she had
childhood leukemia. And it's based
on her experience with that
and how all she could really do was watch TV.
So the character that she plays on this
watches nothing but Shopping Network
and dreams of becoming
a host on the Shopping Channel. Right.
And uses
her cancer to advance her career
in this really, like, awkward, brilliantly done manner.
Wow.
Yeah, it's got Molly Shannon in it as well.
It's got one season so far, eight episodes a year.
I really enjoyed it.
It was very, very funny.
