Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Fawn and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe, Simply Good Coffee.
Try their delicious and refreshing iced coffee now at Macca's. Now I will say tomorrow we will
be doing the show from the Garden City from Christchurch. Half of the show will be done in a
tent. So will the podcast be a little bit late tomorrow with the uploading? Somewhat, somewhat.
Somewhat a little bit late, but it will be done.
So please, please just bear that in mind tomorrow.
Should we say soz about it?
Soz about it.
Soz about it in advance.
Thoughts and prayers while you're away.
Thoughts and prayers, yeah.
Fantastic.
But yes, it'll be half a show from the studio and half a show from a tent.
Yeah.
So will they get the tent stuff?
They'll get the tent stuff?
We'll give them the tent stuff.
So giving away a tent and a big holiday.
That's a thing we're doing.
Yeah, it's a thing we're doing, which you may not have heard in the podcast
because we cut those things out, don't we?
Yeah, we do.
A lot of the time, yeah.
Now, we're going away.
You've been furiously finishing painting.
I'm tired.
During your home renovations.
So our kitchen's coming in tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
This is the one with the big wine bottle holder.
The big wine rack.
Yes.
And they were like, can we come and start on Thursday?
And we're like, oof, we're going to be cutting it fine because we're in Christchurch and I'm not there to help.
So yesterday, man, we were hooning, turning our white undercoated walls into a green haven.
And we did quite well.
A graven.
A graven.
Now, how would you describe this green?
We call it like a velvety green.
It's like a mossy velvet.
Yeah.
It's very rich.
It's a rich, dark, foresty green.
I liked it, though.
Yeah, I liked it.
Yeah, it's crazy, but it's hard to paint with colour.
I get why everyone paints their house white.
It's very hard.
Why is it different with colour?
Because you can just see everything so much more.
Oh, right.
It all kind of comes up.
You need lots of coats.
Yeah.
So we did a coat last night and then we're like, we'll let that dry and we'll pop to the pub.
Yeah.
Have a break.
As you do.
As you do.
Then we came back from the pub and it had been the recommended time, but I was touching the walls and they still felt a bit tacky.
Not the colour being like garish, but like a bit sticky to the touch so right so we were like oh
god we're not going to get it done in time and I'm off to Christchurch and do do do do scoot boot
and baby and then um I made a wild suggestion and we did it which was let's go to bed now
and then we'll set an alarm for 2am and we'll get up then and do it before I go to work.
You were painting your house at 2 a.m.?
Yeah, the alarm went off and I was like, all right.
And then what, you just painted until you came to work?
Yeah, painted until 4 a.m., then I got in the shower and left and here I am.
Why couldn't you have just let Aaron, your fiance, paint the last coat today?
He could just be a bit rough.
Okay, I see why you woke up at 2am now. No, he's
good. It's just better with two, you know. It's just better with two. Yeah, of course.
And so I wanted to feel like I was there and helping because it's a big space and it has
to get done today and I can't go back home. So it was 2am. We had those like floodlight
things that you plug in. I love those. We're holding them and he'd be doing a bit and I can't go back home. So it was 2 a.m. We had those like floodlight things that you plug in.
I love those.
We're holding them and he'd be doing a bit
and I'd be like shining it on that
because obviously it's pitch black
and we don't have lights in our house.
Right.
Because we're renovating.
Exciting.
So we did some torches at 2 a.m.
Seemed a bit mad, but it was sort of quite fun.
I put on some gentle music.
Oh, what music?
At 2 a.m.
I put on a soft rock playlist.
Oh, yeah. I'm talking your eagles. Genesis? Bit of Genesis. I put on a soft rock playlist. I'm talking
your eagles. Genesis?
I started with REM.
Losing My Religion.
Nice. It was good fun.
The thing is, you've got to do what you've got to do,
you know, at a 2am paint job was
what I had to do this morning.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Play ZM's
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Thank you, Sam.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Two minutes past six.
I've got a booking at Blue Canoe in Queenstown on the 1st of January.
So I'm going to need to get there.
You're going to need those flights, are you?
I'm going to need those flights to just go ahead.
Like, not the news
we needed. Not now.
Not now. Not now.
So a bad batch of fuel
imported into the country. Yeah.
And normally, we'd have the
Marsden Point Refinery to fix
any dodgy fuel. But we don't have
that to refine any dodgy fuel.
No. So, what do we
tip it out to sea, do we?
Yeah, feed it to the fishes.
Mix it into the ocean and then import some more.
Give it a Viking funeral.
Put it on a big boat and start shooting arrows at it.
Fun.
Fun.
Isn't that why they have those big tanks at the airport?
Like, to have reserves?
Do I have to think of everything?
Do you know how much we go through?
Loads.
We go through so much.
You're looking at the fine wine delivery pamphlet there?
This just fell out of the...
I was picking up the paper to read the...
Oh, it just fell out, did it?
The front page.
The front page of the fuel crisis
and out fell the fine wine delivery Christmas deals.
Any Prosecco in there? There is, but it's not our Prosecco.
There's a page of Prosecco.
There's a page of Prosecco, yeah.
I'm pretty picky when it comes to
my Prosecco. Ah, yeah.
Well, let me
find the Prosecco.
I'll read it in my private
time. We've already been through the Prosecco.
Prosecco has parked itself at the front. Yeah, it's under sparkling. It's where it's at. I'll read it in my private time. We've already been through the Prosecco. Prosecco has parked itself at the front.
Yeah.
It's under sparkling.
It's where it's at.
Under sparkling deals.
I know, but presumptuous to park itself at the front.
I mean, maybe because it's the festive season, so you pop a bottle of bubbles, don't you?
Sure.
All right, well, coming up.
I'm year round, I'll be honest with you.
Coming up on the show, the top six.
You're going to deal with the dodgy fuel that's been imported.
The top six signs the fuel was dodgy all along. Okay. It's coming up in the top six, you're going to deal with the dodgy fuel that's been imported. The top six signs the fuel was dodgy
all along.
Okay,
it's coming up
in the top six.
Yep.
Play ZM's
Fletchford and Hayley.
Well,
here we were a few weeks ago.
I was whinging about my pillow.
I felt like it was doing me
a disservice.
Yeah,
why?
Excuse me.
It just came up
out of nowhere.
COVID?
No,
I inhaled the wrong way.
Okay,
all right.
Very salivary mouth.
Also paint fumes.
Yeah.
A lot of painting.
A lot of painting.
A lot of painting.
And they refuse to open the window at their house when they paint.
I'm surprised you're not green.
Well, my fingernails are.
I'm just picking them.
Well, you probably slept well, but it was because of paint fumes.
But we got sent pillows.
Yeah, we're pillow influencers now.
We're about to influence you. We're influencers now. We're about to influence you.
We're pillow influencers.
We're about to influence your pillowing.
Pinfluencers.
Do you know, we've done this before, though.
This isn't our first rodeo.
For the sleeping influencer.
For the sleeping influencer.
No, no.
Because how many people messaged me when we talked about body pillows?
Oh, body pillows.
I thought you were going to say our foray into the sealy posturpedics.
Willie's that too.
Yeah, we're sleep influencers. Do you think we do get asked
to do stuff for sleep?
Oh no, because we took it upon ourselves with the body
pillow. Who last night I koala'd
all night and my back feels great this morning.
I had a friend around in my
house recently and they spotted the body pillow
on my bed, which wasn't made. And they were like
what is this? And they
were like
teasing me. And I was like, no is this? And they were like teasing me.
And I was like, no, no, you've got no idea.
You have one night with this body pillow.
You won't sleep without it.
I just can't with the aesthetic.
I can't with the aesthetic.
I know, when you make the bed, you have to put it in the wardrobe.
It's so embarrassing.
No, you put it as the bottom pillow,
and then you put the two pillows that you sleep on on top of it,
and then you put the dress pillows on top,
and it just looks like a whole pillow bag.
No, it's too high. It's a pillow bag.
It's absurd. It's a pillow bag.
It's great. Do they sleep with the pillow, body pillows?
No, no, they don't. Oh, they haven't yet.
I feel like no one
else can use your body pillow.
That's yours. You can lend it out for a one night.
Maybe you could. No way.
With a new pillow case. You literally wrap
your thighs around it. Yeah, and then you watch your friend sleep with your body pillow. Wait, that With a new pillowcase. You literally wrap your thighs around it.
Yeah, and then you watch your friend sleep with your body pillow.
Wait, that's a thing.
Is it?
I think it is a thing in some circles.
Yeah, some people are into it.
Well, the sleep influencing continues.
Well, by Natalie messaged saying,
I heard you talking about pillows.
Would you like a pillow?
Because we're talking about travel pillows.
Yes.
That's right, because I said I want one that you can roll up
and you can with these,
you can roll them up,
put them in a bag.
It comes with its own little case.
And go on holiday with them.
Yeah.
Because, you know,
you go stay in an Airbnb
or a hotel or whatever
and they're not as good,
the pillows.
Yeah, I know.
They don't want to spend money
on pillows
because people just steal them.
Yeah, well, that's true.
I've stolen a pillow
from a hotel once.
Just once. Did you exchange
another pillow? That's manky.
Nah. I was like, no one ever
seen anything.
Was it a good pillow? Yeah, it was a good pillow.
This was years ago
before I had a moral
compass and I was a bit poor.
Yeah.
So, by Natalie sent it.
We said, is this this Natalie Were you guys nervous
Because remember I got mine
Maybe like
A good week and a half
Before you guys
Yeah
And you thought you'd been left out
But that was because
By Natalie sent me
A whole box
The whole family got a box
A whole family
And you should have seen these two
These two in studio
Livid for the fact
That my entire family
Was getting a new pillow
I was grateful for the one
Yeah
Yeah four is cool Four was pretty Four was pretty cool But anyway I've given it a couple of nights getting a new pillow I was grateful for the one yeah um yeah four
four was cool
four was pretty
pretty cool
but anyway I've given it
a couple of nights
and I can say
you're pretty amazing
I got a free pillow
but I haven't been paid
to say actually
you know it is a pretty good pillow
yeah I've been telling people
memory foam for years
it's where it's at
I've had him
stop acting like
you're the only person
with a memory foam pillow
I've had a memory foam pillow
for as long as I can remember.
He thinks he was before me, but he was after.
He's like a foam inner.
He used to be a foam inner for years.
A foam inner.
I've been a foam inner for years as well.
Like a small mall mini mattress.
Yeah.
From the warehouse.
A foam.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Well, not really. I've had a memory foam pillow for a long time. But before that, when I was a kid, I had a foam, oh, oh, right. Yeah. Well, not really. I've had
a memory foam pillow for a long time, but before that, when I was
a kid, I had a foam pillow. Oh, yeah.
Because absurdly, I sleep
with two pillows. I've got
one memory foam and
one feather. So that's why I buy
Natalie's, why lovely Natalie sent us
a memory foam with a feather
topper. Yeah. Yeah, it's next level.
It's pretty good. Best of both worlds.
Thank you.
But yeah.
Just wow.
But who is Natalie?
We don't know.
We don't know.
And we never will.
We assume she broke into NASA.
With a USB stick.
And stole their pillow technology.
Stole the memory foam pillow technology.
But thank you, Natalie.
Well, from pillows to open relationships.
Next on the show.
Oh, I reckon I could have had a bit more work on that.
Oh, yeah, it was a really sloppy segue.
Speaking of jumping into bed.
Yes, that was good.
That's good.
That's good for me.
That is good for you.
December.
The student has become the teacher.
Wow, that was really good.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
People have been asking about...
What?
Someone's computer just started charging.
I just heard the Apple charging noise.
Boing.
Pring.
Pring.
A study's been done into open relationships.
No.
It's a no from me.
Well, your one's enough.
Too much bullshit.
What?
I'm a...
Well, Jason Momoa is coming back to the country.
He is, and I've been given permission.
So that would be an open as opposed to a cheat.
People may think you're joking,
but you have specifically asked for permission
from your long-time partner,
and he said yes.
He said yes. Does he actually think it's going to happen? Not even in a sort. Fiance, yeah. And he said yes. He said yes.
Does he actually think it's going to happen?
And not even in a sort of jokey way, I said,
Aaron, if Jason Momoa were to come to New Zealand
and he wanted to have sex with me,
not, you know, I'm not thrusting myself upon this man,
but if he saw me and was like, let's go,
I said, may I engage in a sexual act with him?
Yeah.
And Aaron thought about it for a second
and he said, yes, you may.
So that's clear as day.
That's open.
And I guess I am feeding the rumours
because if you remember...
You've talked about this.
Yeah.
Not too long ago, a couple of months ago,
my friend and comedian Pax Asadi said,
can I ask you a question?
I've heard a rumor about you.
And the rumor was that Aaron and I are in an open relationship.
Which is not the case.
Which is not the case.
Well, people were asked, couples were asked, and only heterosexual couples.
Because if you know any gay couples, you know that 95% of them are open.
Yeah, it's a different conversation.
Or one of them doesn't know.
That's not open.
Is it not? Oh, okay Or one of them doesn't know. That's not open. Is it not?
Oh, okay.
Well, one third of men, so you're saying they did ask the gay couples,
but one of them was in real hurry and needed to scurry away.
Yes.
Also, I can't believe the men did not answer this in front of their female partners.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, definitely not.
One third of men were open.
I've got another theory about men in this, but you say the stats first.
Well, one third of men were open to the idea of having more than one partner
or a wife and extra fun on the side.
Right.
Whereas only 11% of women were keen.
See, I think men think they are.
I think men think they are.
But if their wife was like, okay, then I've found this guy and he's hot.
This is him.
Guys would immediately be like.
They want it for themselves, but not for their partner to also have that.
I think a lot of people that think they are, aren't.
They just want to know that they can still touch a new body, you know.
Yeah.
Have a fiddle with some new territory.
Absolutely. But, you know, they're not a fiddle with some new territory. Absolutely.
But, you know, they're not so keen
that somebody else is going to colonise their home.
Right, yeah, okay.
I think that's the case with a lot of people.
If push came to shove,
they wouldn't be as keen as they think they are.
I have a couple of friends in open relationships
and their main thing is they lay rules.
Yeah, ground rules.
There's some real ground rules
and there's some, like, communication is key.
Because some people are like, you can do it, but I don't want to know about it.
And other people are like, you can do it, but you have to tell me.
And, like, not here, not when we're in the same city as one of my friends.
Yeah.
It's only when, you know, we're apart.
But I just, it seems so complicated.
Yeah. You definitely can't it seems so complicated. Yeah.
You definitely can't be
a jealous person.
No.
No,
you'd have to be so secure
within your relationship
to be able to let that happen
and then come back
and be like,
I'm unaffected.
Yeah.
Plus,
I haven't finished Pornhub yet.
God,
that thing just keeps getting
more and more.
It's so hard to keep up
with the amount of content.
Oh my God, I know.
I'm always like, today I'm going to clock it.
Yeah, and you think you have, and then you're like,
arranged by recent uploads, you're like,
I can't even find where I was up to.
Yeah, where was I up to?
I've even done the weird stuff.
I'm so far off getting to the weird stuff.
Play.

Years ago, if you were doing a promo with McDonald's,
such as we do now where they sponsor the show with McCafe,
barista-made coffee on the go.
Well, no, that's not what we say.
We say simply good coffee.
Try their delicious and refreshing iced coffee now at Macca's.
Because now it's summer.
You were never to say Macca's, were you?
No, but then do you know what made it Macca's Australia?
Because they could not.
I think in Australia They tried so hard
To get people to stop calling it Maccas
And call it McDonald's
And in the end they just gave up
And they went with it
Maccas rules
Maccas is like
It's like it's your pal
I either say McDonald's or Maccas
It feels like you're saying
Hello Mr and Mrs McDonald
Whereas Maccas is like

That was actually my nickname in high school.
Milky Bar McDip.
Milky Bar McDip.
Very white penis.
And continues to be.
They saw it once after swimming and they said,
he's got a Milky Bar McDick.
But you guys know how you're giving me shit
about my feet being white. Well, at least they see
some sun, you know. This is how you know
the show sponsor isn't making us say all
this. Milky Bar McDick.
That idea's for free.
The non-nots.
The one that got our interest,
that piqued our interest,
chocolate soft serve. Because of courseed our interest. Chocolate soft serve.
Because, of course, now at the moment, soft serve, vanilla, the end.
White.
Soft serve, the end.
So the chocolate one in the little noddles cone.
They've done this before, though, right?
I feel like this has been a thing before.
I think so.
Yeah, it seems familiar.
Yeah, and there's a new McFlurry as well, the Caramel Hokey Pokey.
Which was Hayley's name and I was going...
Caramel Pokey Pokey.
Some of it's right.
Some of it's right.
Do Fletch next.
Do Fletch.
No, let's just leave it here.
Yum chocolate soft serve, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there's options.
There's options in the summer.
Oh, my God.
Play ZX Fletch for the daily.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Ah.
Ah. Before I tell you what today's fact of the day is, you're not allowed to laugh at what it's called
because it's somebody's surname
and it'll be incidentally racist when you find out where they're from.
Thank you for that warning.
Thank you for protecting us.
Today's fact of the day is about the Arso defence.
Well done.
Well done to you both, broadcasting professionals.
Because it is named from Japanese commercial airline pilot
Captain Kouhi Aso.
My name!
No, you failed.
Well, I hope you're both happy with yourself.
She made me because it was...
I made the laugh not go out and then she made it pop out.
The Aso defence.
Why are you...
It's because...
It's how you're saying it.
It's how you're saying it.
You're making it naughty.
You sound like the baby from Meet the Fockers.
Asshole.
The arso effect.
Thank you.
Arso.
You were saying arso.
Arso.
Real kongy words.
He's a Japanese pilot in 1968.
He was landing at San Francisco International.
San Francisco.
Holy moly.
I don't know.
He was landing a plane
at San Francisco
International Airport
as they began their descent
and came down
through the mountains.
They had a thick layer of fog.
Oh, yeah.
Famous fog in San Fran.
Yeah.
A lot of fog.
68.
He came down
and he's like,
whoops, we're a bit short
and he had to land in the water.
Now he landed in shallow water.
No passenger even got wet.
The plane, while it needed about $4 million worth of repairs,
was back in the air 12 months later.
They said as far as a water landing could go,
you could not ask for a final water landing.
Oh, okay.
He stopped short two and a half miles of the runway.
That's a big error, boy.
Yeah, big error.
You shouldn't be allowed to fly after that.
And he said, this was his defense.
Somebody said, what went wrong?
Was it due to poor visibility?
Was it the weather?
Was it unfamiliarity of the landing gear?
Was it anything?
And he said, no, as you Americans would say,
I absolutely effed it up.
Wow, he just went.
So the Arso defense, the Arso defense, He said, no, as you Americans would say, I absolutely effed it up. Wow, he just went.
So the arsehole defense is immediately admitting you're at fault and not blaming anything else.
Oh, okay.
And apparently it's the most.
No excuses.
Apparently it's the most respected defense in business.
If you come out and people forgive it so quickly,
if you're really earnest about it, okay, this is my fault.
I did wrong.
This is why I did wrong.
Let's move on.
Because I blame everything on you or Hayley.
Yes.
Don't I?
You do.
Like when Hayley left the mics on the other day
during the ad break,
that was Hayley's fault.
I didn't leave the mics on.
See that big desk in front of you?
You left the mics.
She bumped it on.
Yeah, so technically we're both to blame there.
Both to blame.
But I could have said,
I F that up.
Yes.
And that would have been...
Enough.
Yeah, that would have been the...
For me personally,
I like to blame someone else.
Yeah, same.
Yeah, so you're not as respected
in the business circles.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
It is the best way to do it though,
own it.
Yeah, and people said like,
the best part about it
is how quickly everybody moves on
because there's no blame game.
And the blame game can derail everything
and take ages to resolve itself.
Whereas if you knew you were wrong,
people will just respect you
and will be like, yeah, I absolutely effed that up.
Sorry about that.
Like when a celebrity, you know,
dances around the fact when they've done something.
Yes.
And they make excuses and you're just like,
just own it.
You're effed up. Their apology is like, I'm sorry
I offended you.
But. There's no but in an apology.
A good apology shouldn't
contain a but. Yeah. Unless
it's like, I'm sorry for smacking your butt.
And then there's a different type of but. There's two buts.
There's two T's but.
So today's fact of the day.
Wait, but did this guy fly again?
Yeah.
So they demoted him to co-pilot.
Oh, no.
And he worked really hard for like three more years
and became a full-blown like captain again.
Captain pilot.
And he didn't have another mistake.
Okay.
Yeah, and all his time flying.
And it was his first mistake flying.
And they said, as far as I said before,
as far as a water landing, absolutely perfect. We all have bad days. We all have bad days. And it was his first mistake flying. And they said, as far as, as I said before, as far as a water landing, absolutely perfect.
We all have bad days.
We all have bad days.
We're human.
Yeah.
That's, you could tag that on the end of your thing, right?
Yeah.
Like, my bad.
That was fully on me.
We all have bad days.
Yeah.
Done.
So today's fact of the day is there is a term called the Arso Defence.
And it's named after a pilot that crashed a plane,
and when they asked him what went wrong, he said, me.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
From the panoramic ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Hi there.
As previously mentioned on the show, we've got some dodgy fuel.
That could mean some flight postponements.
Could be like, well, there's enough seats on the next flight to Christchurch, for example,
and we could just merge a couple of flights.
Have you flown lately?
No, I haven't.
You're about to fly today.
There's not even a spare seat on a plane.
No, I know.
It's nuts.
Also, by the way, am I sitting next to any of you guys on our flight this morning?
To where?
Yeah.
We can't give away the location of our flight. flight this morning. To where? To... Yes.
We can't give away the location of our
backpack tent tomorrow. I wouldn't dare.
But I hope we bump into Dan Carter.
We are flying to
Chemist Warehouse.
We're going to have a tent inside of Chemist Warehouse.
No, we're not. I'm just going with all these packed flights.
You always have to sit next to a stranger and I need...
I want to sleep.
Right.
So dodgy fuel means what?
Rationing.
Yeah.
Yeah, we've got to wait for some more.
I don't know if we send this back to where we go if we've got receipts,
and we send it back saying, hey, this isn't any good.
This isn't any bloody good. So by the time they get some more in, it'll be what?
Christmas.
Well, they say, yeah, to the 20th of December.
But I've got the top six signs we should have known that the fuel was dodgy all along.
Okay.
Had some signs, did you?
Yeah, had some big signs.
Here's the top six of them.
Number six on the list
are the signs that the fuel
was dodgy all along
every time you tried to see
what it was looking at on its phone
and it angled the screen away.
Dodgy.
Yeah, dodge.
And it never told you
its password to unlock the phone.
Dodgy.
Dodgy.
Dodgy.
Dodgy.
Do you reckon it's one of those people
that has one of those screen privacy?
Oh, yes.
Oh, my God.
You just can't see it unless you're looking directly at it.
Directly, yeah.
People that have those screen protectors on, they're dodgy, right?
They're hiding something.
Yeah.
It's dodgy.
Dodgy.
Number five on the list of the top six signs the fuel was dodgy all along.
The fuel was wearing its sunglasses inside a lot.
Dodgy.
Dodgy.
Yeah, that's a sign.
We should have known.
We should have known.
Number four on the top six signs the fuel was dodgy all along.
The fuel was getting cash out every time it did a grocery shop
to squirrel away for purposes unknown.
That's a runaway fund there.
Yeah.
Drug fund.
Shoe box in the ceiling.
Dodgy.
Dodge.
Dodgy.
Number three on the list of the signs the fuel was dodgy all along. Dodgy. Number three on the list besides the fuelers
dodgy all along.
The fueler would never
turn on fine friends
so you could never
really know where it was going
when it just had to
really quickly pop out.
That's what I,
my friend James
has turned his fine friends off.
I didn't have mine on
until you guys made me.
Well, I,
you know,
I'm tracking you now.
I didn't make you.
I don't even,
I haven't been on fine friends for ages. Well, I know we've all known this because he's always like, I'm tracking you now. I didn't make you. I haven't been on Find Friends for
ages. Well, I know where Vaughn is because he's
always like, I'm just leaving the house.
I'm like, Vaughn, you're still at the house.
Yeah, I'm like, oh no, that's GPS.
Vaughn's like, I'm just on the motorway. I'm like,
Vaughn, you're literally at your house. I can see you're at your house.
What do I search? What's it called now?
It's called Find My. Oh, that's right.
It's not a separate app anymore, right? It's just called
Find. So the only people I can see,
it's you select who can see you.
You add your friends.
This is on the iPhone.
The only people that can see me
is my mum and my dad.
Okay.
And me.
Yeah, it's good.
Yeah.
I'll be turning mine off before holidays.
I don't need you guys seeing where I am on holidays.
Oh, really?
I think you should keep it on
considering where you're going.
Yeah, we need to keep it on.
Vehicle, vehicle.
Okay, vehicle.
He's back at the Cheesecake Factory, isn't he? He's enjoying that. You've been to the Cheesecake Factory a lot. Yeah, we need to keep an eye on you. Oh, he's back at the Cheesecake Factory, is he?
He's enjoying that.
You've been to the Cheesecake Factory a lot?
Yeah.
Oh, and I think
I left my phone there.
Says the guy that's
gone there for three
meals in a day.
Hayley Sproul wants
to follow your location.
I just realised he's
following mine,
I'm not following his.
That doesn't seem fair.
No, that isn't fair.
Yep.
Okay, done.
Number two on the
list of the top six
signs of fuel was dodgy all along.
The autofill on the computer for logging onto Facebook brings up some weird usernames you've never heard of.
Oh, dodgy.
Yes, what's that email?
Dodgy.
Exactly.
Dodgy, dodgy.
And number one on the list of the top six signs of fuel was dodgy all along.
Its Tinder profile had no photos.
Oh, yeah, dodgy.
That means it's got a girlfriend, eh?
Or a boyfriend already, yeah.
Oh, totally, totally.
A hundred percent.
Totally dodgy.
That's what I saw.
So the NHS, the National Health Service.
Which is our, what do we call ours?
No, that's Britain's, but what is our version of that?
Hospitals.
We just have hospitals.
We just have hospitals.
But don't we call them something?
DHPs
No, because they're district health boards
that look after the hospitables
Who's our version of the NHS?
I don't know if we've got one
We definitely do
Maybe we just call it the public health
Ministry of Health
New Zealand Health System
Ministry of Health
So this is the UK's Ministry System
Health Care
Public. They have
through years and years
of dealing with
patients
come up with a
list of 20 medical conditions
and illnesses or
experiences that
humans can go through that they believe are the worst pain that humans can go through
that they believe are the worst pain that humans can experience in all time.
Oh, wow.
Preface, a preface, they even made a clause to exclude childbirth
and a knock to the testicles.
Oh, yes, testicles.
Because they say the pain is unlike that. You can't compare it to anything. Oh, yes. Testicles. Because they say the pain is unlike that.
You can't compare it to anything.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
So,
that's not in the list.
So, I've got the 20.
They're not in an order.
So, I'm just going to read them
in a random order.
Broken bones.
Never had a broken bone in my life.
I've broken this arm twice. I'm a lefty, and I'm a lefty.
Yeah.
So that was annoying.
Ankle as a child and my wrist as an adult.
Yeah, and it hurts.
Oh, shit, yeah.
Big time.
Pain after surgery, whatever.
Fibromyalgia, which is a condition that causes pain all over the body.
Oh, wow.
That's just like, I'm in pain.
That would be horrible.
Yeah.
I was reading an article about it before, and it was a woman said she just feels like
she's getting 50 electric shocks from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes
to sleep.
Awful.
Stomach ulcer.
I've never had that.
Yeah, that sounds horrible.
Apparently very painful.
Gout is the next on the list.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
I've heard that's bloody horrible.
Yeah. I've never had gout. Arthritis. Yeah, I've heard that's bloody horrible Yeah, I've never had gout Arthritis
I guess as well like
You can't escape it
And there's no cure for it
A migraine, I've had one in my life
And it truly was horrendous
But for my mum's a migraine sufferer
Awful things
Like you know you get a migraine and it makes you spew
Yeah
I think some people just get headaches and say they've got a migraine and it makes you, like, spew. Yeah. I think some people just
get headaches and say they've got a migraine,
but they don't really have a sign. A bad headache
is not a migraine. A migraine's like you can't
see. I did, I'd
play with a girl years ago in Wellington, and she
got visual migraines. So when she got a migraine,
it got so bad she couldn't see anymore.
Oh, wow. And it happened on stage.
And she was like, I can't see. And I was like, oh,
yeah. Anyway, sciatica is the next one.
That's nerve pain, eh, down the side of your body.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you're like pinching something in your back.
It comes from the back often.
Yes.
And then you get sciatica down the side.
It's the sciatic nerve.
Of course on the list is endometriosis.
Yeah.
That's your tissue growing, stuff growing on your womb or your uterus.
On your reproductive.
And your reproductive organs.
Yeah.
And you've got to remove it and it's incredibly painful.
Yeah.
Acute pancreatitis.
Pancreatitis.
Never heard of it.
Trigeminal neuralgia.
Never heard of it.
Sickle cell disease. Never heard of it Sickle cell disease
Never heard of it
Slipped disc
You've had this
Haven't you?
Yeah
You've got slippery discs
Aaron's got two slippery discs
Yeah I've got a slippery disc
It's not slipped too much
But yeah it's horrible
And then the end of the list
Is frozen shoulder
I'm pretty sure
That's what I got
When I went like
Frozen shoulder
Frozen shoulder
The muscles
It holds the joint tight, right, so to move
your arm is painful. And it's just like that.
A cluster headache.
Oh, that sounds like more than one.
Yeah, kidney stones. I've heard that
so painful. JP's had that.
You had kidney stones, eh?
Was that painful, Jared? Oh, yeah.
That's definitely one of the worst pains I've had.
Did you wear yours out?
Yeah, it took about a week.
Jesus.
How big are they?
They're like little hokey pokey nuggets, aren't they?
Yeah, mine were like three or four millimetres, I think.
Oh, that's a big nugget.
But they can be quite bigger.
Yeah.
Can you get them out without having to come through the ureth?
I believe they can use a machine that like sonic blasts them
to turn them into like gravel.
Oh, like a laser. Yeah to turn them into like gravel. Like a laser.
Yeah, or like a sound laser.
Oh my God.
We're living in the future, right?
That's insane.
Shoot a laser into your willy.
And then, oh my gosh.
So kidney stones, appendicitis, that's horrible.
And the last two are heart attack.
Yeah.
Bloody painful.
On the list of the most painful things.
I've always wondered if the heart attack hurt
or if it just like took your breath away sort of.
I think they can hurt.
Yeah.
I've seen that ad.
It doesn't look like it hurts.
You know that ad?
It's like someone in this ad is having a heart attack
and I picked the wrong person.
And he's pushing his shoulder.
Yeah.
I know, but sometimes they are like clutching the chest.
The last one, I've had this.
Shingles. I've had that.
No, not yet. You haven't had it? No.
That's horrible.
It hurts.
I had it like 20, no, 10 years
ago and it still hurts. Which is weird
because it's a thing that normally you get
after you're 50. It's more
of an older person's.
Or if you get run down or stressed out.
Yeah, it's horrible because it hurts the whole time.
It's like a burning patch of your skin.
And then if you get it, it'll just shoot.
Your nerve will be like.
Yeah.
You're walking along, you're like.
It just feels like someone's like jabbed you in the ribs.
Right.
They added a bonus one that didn't quite make the 20,
which is just tooth pain which I totally agree
yeah when you've got an aching tooth that's bad anyway isn't the human body incredible that we
can just like go through this pain and then be like I'm gonna stick around though not all the time
not all the time play it's flesh for the nail a Ashburton primary school called Borough Primary.
It's the oldest school in Ashburton.
It is saying like, oh, look at us.
Over the history of the All Blacks, in our school history,
we've had seven All Blacks.
But did they, this is a primary school.
Yeah.
Because I kind of get it when high schools do this
because they would have like actually taught them some rugby skills there.
Oh, no, hey, you've got to learn in an early age. The real skills are learned very early.
You reckon? Remember that time I scored a try on the sideline at primary school?
Yeah. Did you? So embarrassing. When he knew it wasn't for him.
But it was playing quarter field, so the sideline was the try line for full
field. I can see the confusion. I don't know any of these lines. I was real confused.
What did I play at primary? I played hockey, actually, at primary school.
Yeah, I moved on to hockey at intermediate when everyone got big
and I did not like to be touched.
Yes.
So seven All Blacks.
Yeah.
Would there be a record for any school?
Maybe not.
Your school's like your, I don't know, your big Canterbury.
All the Barrett's would have gone to the same school.
So there's three All Blacks.
That's Francis Douglas in New Plymouth.
Francis Douglas.
Yeah.
But what about their primary school?
Don't know.
They would have all gone to the same primary school. Yeah, they would have.
And then you only needed a few more over the hundred and whatever year history of the All
Blacks and you'd have as many All Blacks.
A few more Barretts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How many Barretts have been All Blacks now?
Three Barretts.
Eight.
Four Barretts.
There's eight Barretts.
There's eight Barretts. There's eight Barretts. In the current lineup. Yeah. Yeah. How many Barretts have been all black? Three Barretts. Eight. Four Barretts. There's eight Barretts. There's eight Barretts.
There's eight Barretts.
In the current line-up.
Yeah.
But your big schools,
like your big rugby schools
in Christchurch and Auckland.
Yeah, no, no, no.
They have heaps.
No, no, no.
It doesn't count
if your school was a rich school
that got an import.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That doesn't count.
I'm talking grassroots,
slutty ruggers, man.
On behalf of everyone
that went to a rich school,
we resent that.
Did you have sport imports
at Queen Margaret's?
You'd import drama.
Yeah,
it was a little bit
more academic.
Drama imports.
Give me strength.
They didn't need to.
I've been offered
a drama scholarship.
Excuse me,
born you on
the Best Cats production.
Do you not?
Oh, that's true.
You don't want
a bloody awful
Mr. Mustaflis,
do you?
Yeah, no.
Do you know who went to that school that does ooh-la-la productions?
Did you get any imports of drama students?
Did you give any scholarships to poor kids just so they could be in Cats?
I don't believe so.
I think we just had a naturally talented crop of very rich young students.
Yeah, right.
What productions would your school do?
We did, I was in Jesus Christ Superstar.
Who did you play in Jesus Christ Superstar?
I was Peter.
Peter the Denier.
Oh, Peter the Denier.
I thought Peter was a good guy.
Who was the cross?
I could do that.
That was a guy by the name of Joel,
who's now in Aussie as quite a,
I want to say well-known theatre.
Wait, Joel played the cross? Oh, no, no, he was
JC. Oh, he was JC.
He was Jesus. Who was Judas?
Because Judas is the big part in that.
That was someone by the name of Matthew.
Oh, no.
No, he was part.
He became an
absolute nobody. But this is a question
we want to ask this morning.
What was the most famous person or the famous people that went to your school?
I've got a couple.
Antonia Preble of Outrageous Fortune.
She was a QMC girl and, get this.
Older than you or younger than you?
Older than me.
Thank you.
Wow.
How much older?
Maybe like eight years or so.
Okay.
Hang on.
No, I'm going to phone and find this out.
Is she my age?
Antonia...
And who...
Did you have anyone else?
Yes, I did.
Nothing against Antonia Preble, but, you know...
Oh, no, she's only five years older than me.
I was only there for five years,
so she would have left and then I would have arrived.
Right.
That's why there was space for me to become the hot young actor
at Queen Margaret College.
Because your school would have a Wikipedia page, wouldn't it?
Oh, 100% it would.
Oh, probably.
It's got a deep history and a lot of money behind it.
What do they call aluminums?
Illuminatis?
Alumni.
Alumni.
I knew it sounded like a recyclable name.
The other alumni is Ms. Hillary Barry.
She does have Queen Margaret college energy.
Whenever we meet up, we always sing the school song
and just revel in being raised in a rich family.
Any sports?
Queen Margaret, we're rich and white.
Queen Margaret, it just feels right.
It just feels right.
It feels so good to be rich.
It feels so good to be white.
We'll be Margaret's.
It's great.
Wow.
Yeah, that's pretty much how the song went.
Yeah, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
Any sporting alumni? Stella Maxwell. Yeah, Victoria's Secret much how the song went. Any sporting alumni?
Stella Maxwell?
Yeah, Victoria's Secret model.
She was in my year.
Oh, wow.
So you're not even the best of your year.
Yeah, she dated Miley Cyrus.
How do you?
I am on the honours board, albeit my name is spelt wrong.
Yeah, but you didn't date Miley Cyrus.
I didn't date.
No, I'm not a Victoria's Secret model.
Yet.
You went to school with a Victoria's Secret model. I know. Every time I. No, I'm not a Victoria's Secret model. Yet. You went to school with a
Victoria's Secret model. I know, every time I see her
I'm like, it's absurd.
It's truly
absurd. I mean, she's very beautiful.

Just meth dealers and the Prime Minister.
But she did a bit of meth dealing back in the day.
No, she did not.

I really don't think you can say that. I don't think you can say that. I really don't think you can say that.
I don't think you can say that.
I think we're in trouble.
Even though you've got a friendship with the Prime Minister,
I don't think you should say that.

Was there anyone before Jacinda?
You've got a long list.
I just Googled your school and alumni.

He was really great.
He was one of those guys who had ambition.
He knew what he wanted to do in life.

Was he in the school production?
Did you think this guy will go far?
No, I don't remember him being in school productions.
No.
Maybe, you know, maybe with a guitar and singing now and again.
Right.
Do you think now if you were to ever walk, you know,
if you're in Australia where he resides and you were to see him,
would you say Russell?
We went to school together.
It's me, Debbie from primary school.

Jesus.
What high school is this?
It's Fielding High School.
But isn't that also weird?
Wasn't there a story during the Rugby World Cup that it had a whole lot of Black Ferns as well?
Yeah, we got quite a few Black Ferns.
Like, zero golf.
Were you into sport yourself, Josh?
Yeah, I was a rugby player, yeah.
Did you get smashed by these guys
and you were like, this sucks?
Nah, I'm a bit too young for them.
Alright, okay. Yeah, if you go'm a bit too young for them. Alright,
okay.
Yeah,
if you go on the Fielding High School
Wikipedia page,
Is it I before E
or EI Fielding?
This is EI,
it's bizarre.
It's bizarre,
isn't it?
You've got a lot
of rugby players.
Yeah,
we do,
yeah,
and some of them
are like,
we've got like
older ones
from like 19,
like the
1940s and all that.
1929,
yeah, 19. Something in the water, something in the water. Something in all that. 1929, yeah.
Wow.
Something in the water.
Something in the water.
It might be something in the water.
Something in the water.
They've had water problems, haven't they?
Yeah, they have.
Adam, George, Luke and Sam Whitelock all went there.
Wow.
Adam, George, Sam, Luke.
There's four Whitelocks.
And Ringo.
Josh, thanks.
You called some messages in.
I assumed on the size of that white lock there was one max.
How was a mother feeding four of them?
Dude, the poor mother.
How did you get them out of herself?
Jesus, if Nazareth, that poor woman. That's a full redo.
She needs a knighthood.
And I know she should be getting a damehood, but she needs a knighthood.
She should.
Nadia Lim.
Somebody said, I went to school with Nadia Lim.
She was in the same class as me.
I try not to think about it as it makes me feel inadequate.
Now, I don't want to hear any of that talk.
Imagine if she burned her quiche at school.
Oh, my God, at school.
What do you say?
Nadia burned her quiche.
Imagine if Nadia burned the quiche.
In Home Economics.
She was skiving off.
She burned her quiche.
Can I tell you about when I nearly gave food poisoning to Miss Punday?
And she was the Home Economics teacher, Indian, and I made her a curry
and it was raw.
Now, did you plop the chicken into the curry
raw thinking that the curry sauce would cook the chicken?
Yeah. Wow, I mean.
Wow, that's not how Chicken Tonight works.
I insulted not only her, but
also her people. Yeah.
But she daren't say anything to
the white rich kids. No.
Well, you made her eat it, didn't you?
Yeah.
Eat it.
I don't want to.
I said eat it.
Eat it.
Some other messages in of famous people that you went to school with.
I went to Ellesmere College with Dan Carter.
Ooh.
Someone said,
Wellington Girls is way better than Queen Margaret's.
Wellington Girls was Public school
Down the road
We used to like hold our nose as we walked past you on the street
We were like, ew
We had Anna Paquin and Jane Campion
Oh wow, that's better acting isn't it
Out of that school, you'd say
Two words, Hilary Barry
Simon Barnett was the dreamboat
Of Ashbourne Oh yeah, well he's not ageing at all Isn't that man Two words, Hilary Barry. Simon Barnett was the dream boat of Ashburton.
Oh, yeah.
Well, he's not ageing at all,
is he?
He looks fantastic.
Isn't that man?
Frozen in time.
Doesn't he look good?
Lots of people
haven't scored Lydia Ko.
Number one in the bloody world
at golf.
You're number one.
Well, she was the other day
when I saw her.
Those rankings change all the time.
What have you done?
But he killed it.
Killed it at the mini putt.
Yeah. Bet she did. Play it. Zilled it at the mini-putt. Yeah.
Bet she did.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
More financial pain on the way.
The reserve bank is rising.
The stock market inflation has pushed the reserve.
Cost of living.
Cost of living crisis.
And the recession is inevitable.
The official Fletch, Vaughbourne and Hayley Ice Cream Index. Well, the Ice Cream Index,
we're searching for the largest,
tallest ice creams in the land.
Bang for buck.
During this time of economic crises,
it's important to get
giant ice creams.
Bang for your buck. You're right, there's nothing more important.
There's nothing more important.
As summer approaches.
Well, today, we
look towards the Hawke's Bay for the ice cream index.
Yes, we do.
And should we start with the most contentious offerings of when we ask for Hawke's Bay recommendations?
Because your rules state it's got to be a scooped ice cream.
Yes.
And you're not accepting gelato, which is, as a gelato lover, is devastating.
But also your big brands like your Ben and Jerry's, your Movenpick.
Yeah.
That's not Kiwi.
I've had correspondence from the people of Hamilton saying Duck Island should 100% be included.
And they said, we can understand Movenpick International Company,
Ben and Jerry's American ice cream brand.
Duck Island, made in New Zealand.
Oh, yeah.
Scooped ice cream.
$15 for a scoop.
I don't think it's that expensive.
I've never been.
It's good ice cream.
I'm making outrageous claims.
Outrageous claims.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it's delicious.
I think you should.
We haven't done the Waikato, so.
Right.
I'm going out to bat, guys. I'm going out to bat, guys.
I'm going out to bat for them.
And the most contentious offerings, the most popular offering from Hawke's Bay is Rush Monroe.
Now, you may have heard that name because Rush Monroe is a little bougie.
It's a little on the bougie side of things.
It's bouge.
However, there's no denying that that is a rolled ice cream.
Yeah.
That is a rolled ice cream.
Yeah, that's delicious.
It's not gelato.
It's a New Zealand company, and it's not.
You can buy it by the scoop.
You can buy it by the scoop.
They've got other dessert offerings,
and we didn't say we won't be accepting other things
that have dessert offerings.
Well, Carween, this is a local for you,
and you absolutely rave about this place,
don't you? I'm going into bat for
Rush Monroe. This receives
so many votes. It's got to be on the list.
Yeah, over 60 votes. It's got to be
on the list. Yeah, I think it's got to be on the list.
And big scoops. Yeah, and it's historic.
Everyone grew up going there. It's New Zealand's
oldest ice cream company.
I feel it would be
unpatriotic of us to tell Rush of the Monroe clan that they couldn't partake.
Do they do gelato as well?
I'm not sure.
They might do.
It doesn't look like it.
They're like a one-stop set of ice cream.
They do a sundae.
I think as long as we don't take into account the sundaes or the milkshakes, we want the scoops.
Yum. Look at that effort. Yeah, it's delicious. There's a single scoop there. There's a kid my God, yum. We want the scoops. Yum.
Look at that effort.
Yeah, it's delicious.
There's a single scoop there.
There's a kiddie cone
but they've like piled it high.
Okay, well that's going on the list.
Rush Monroe's on the list.
On a menu
when it puts like V
next to like vegetarian or vegan
but we put a B
for bougie.
Yes.
Oh yeah, we could do.
So price point
because that's one thing
I don't know about Rush Monroe's
like our price point here.
I reckon you're looking 15, 16 upwards of $25.
That's not how much ice creams cost.
You're like the politician before the election where they ask them
what the price of something is and they've got no idea.
No scooped ice cream is $15.
Oh, apart from that one in Auckland.
And I think it's too bougie for the list.
Plus it's gelato.
Yeah, that's gelato.
Mian.
What?
Mian?
No, the old one
that was always,
it used to be on Queen Street
and now it's down the bottom.
The bougie ice creams,
it was always like
trying to get in.
Giapo!
Oh, get out.
Too bougie.
Those are so expensive.
It was like when we went
there with the kids
and I was like,
you kids want an ice cream
and I didn't see the price
and then it was $36 for two ice creams.
Wow.
Okay, Jesus.
We did get the nice ones.
Yum, though, yum.
It's just like...
All right, Rushman Rose can go on
but it has to have a clause.
A B for bougie.
Okay, B for bougie.
What else from the Hawke's Bay?
From Hawke's Bay, I tell you,
they've got some nice ice cream parlours.
It's hot down...
It's hot. It's hot. Yeah've got some nice ice cream parlours. It's hot down, it's hot.
It's hot.
Yeah, but hit me with
your dairy choices.
Oh.
Who's rocking a good
dairy ice cream?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
What?
What?
What?
Okay, lick this
is in Hawke's Bay.
It's in Napier.
Okay, it does ice cream
and gelato and sorbet and ice blocks. It can get in the trash. It's not. No,ke's Bay. It's in Napier. Okay, it does ice cream and gelato and sorbet and ice blocks.
It can get in the trash.
It's not.
No, it's not.
We're only doing the ice cream.
We'll do the ice creams.
It looks pretty good.
It looks pretty good.
We've got a few votes for that.
They make their own ice cream.
Look at this.
It's too big.
There's gelato.
There's gelato.
Gelato always looks bougie because it's in the tub
and it's all shaped and stuff.
It's got to go on the list.
Okay, just for the ice creams alone.
Just for the ice creams alone.
Now, there is a place called the Hot Chick Cool Cat.
Hot Chick Cool Cat in Ahuriri in Napier.
It is going on the list because it describes itself as a laid-back,
waterfront joint dispensing barbecue chicken, pineapple fritters, and ice creams.
Yes. Oh, my God, that sounds like myensing barbecue chicken, pineapple fritters and ice creams. Yes!
That sounds like my heaven. That's the only food groups I eat.
That's all you need for a healthy food pyramid.
You're on the list, hot chick, cool cat.
Hawke's Bay in general, pretty boo.
Also the West Shore Dairy.
Received votes as well, so they're on the list.
They're on the list. They do a roll of ice cream.
They do a wordle time, baby.
Look, here's their offer in wordle.
Australian ice cream. They do a wordle time, baby. Look, here's their offering. That's a... Australian ice cream.

How to play Wordle. How to screenshot on Windows.
How to tie a tie, which is on the list
every single year.
I know. I don't know what I'm going to do because
we've got a wedding on the 31st of
December and you're not going to be there to tie my tie.
I'll tie it on the bus on the way there. Thank you.
Thank you. Oh my gosh.
In fact, you give me your tie now and I'll
take it home in a free tie for Windsor.
Great idea.
We didn't go to a private school, Hayley.
I tie every morning.
I have to Google it every day.
How to screenshot on a Mac, how to solve a Rubik's Cube, how to be single.
Oh.
How to make self-raising flour.
Remember when there was no self-raising flour and you had to make self-raising flour?
That's right.
Yeah.
So there's a whole lot of things that have popped out and said this is what you all were Googling.
What about the people?
You know, famous New Zealanders.
Famous New Zealanders.
Clark Gayford.
Probably when all the rumours
were going around about
what Clark was up to.
We didn't feed those rumours at all.
Are you kidding me?
That is the most Googled New Zealander.
Yeah.
Number one.
Yeah.
Oh, that is so sad.
Ryan Fox, the golfer.
Zoe Sadowski, Senate, the snowboarder. Lydia Ko, gol one. Yeah. Oh, that is so sad. Ryan Fox, the golfer. Zoe Sadowski-Sinnett, the snowboarder.
Lydia Ko, golfer.
Israel Adesanya.
Oh, he was at the gym the other day.
MMA photo.
And everyone was just like, all the guys were like pretending not to take photos of him.
The guys.
Yeah.
The guys and the girls.
Something for everybody there.
I mean, he's delicious.
Jaden Meyer, Wayne Brown, new mayor.
Sam Orfindale, remember that?
He beat the shit out of the kid with a bedpost in high school.
Yeah, that's right.
Joseph Parker and Ruby Toohey.
I've done a bit of Ruby Toohey Googling.
Calm down.
Sorry, that noise came out involuntarily.
I'm 33 now, and admittedly, my face is changing.
And now I get up at 4 o'clock in the morning,
so that's kind of accelerated.
Oh, that'll change the old face.
The change a bit.
Bags under the eyes.
Yeah, and like...
Heavy eyes.
Real heavy eyes, and just...
I look weary.
A little bit weary.
And then I, when I smile, have a couple of dimples.
One's right in the scar on my cheek that I've got.
Oh, yeah.
That was from an early golfing accident.
Early golfing accident.
Lydia Coe smashed her in the face.
Yeah.
And then I got this little one on the side of my cheek.
Smile.
Only on one side, though.
That dimple's not on the other.
Oh, a little bit.
A little bit on the side. Not as
much. But dimples are cute. Yeah, dimples
are cute. Dimples are cute as hell. And then
I was like, I've been looking at
my chin recently and was like,
it's different. It's always
been like when I smile it's had a couple of lumps
and bumps.
And then Aaron yesterday was like,
that's new. And like
poked me in the chin. And I was like, it's new. And like poked me in the chin.
And I was like, it's confirmed it.
I'm developing a bum chin.
I'm developing.
Show me the bum.
You can't develop a bum chin.
I thought you had a bum chin.
It's like a dimple.
There, that one.
It's like a dimple.
Yeah, I can see it.
I don't think that's anything to worry about. I think it's a dimple. But it's not like a Ben Affleck. It's like a dimple. Yeah, I can see it. I don't think that's anything to worry about.
I think it's a dimple.
But it's not like a Ben Affleck.
It looks like a bum chin.
It's not like a bum chin that people grow a goatee over to hide.
I can't have lasered my goatee off.
So if it develops into a full bum chin, it's just bum chin.
I think that's getting quite bummy.
I was like, what do we do about this?
I thought a cleft chin was,
oh, cleft chin is the official name, by the way,
not bum chin.
I think bum chin is the scientific name.
I think bum chin is what we've always called it.
Yeah.
Are you born with them?
Is it?
Ancestry.com's got a section on bum chins.
Oh.
So you can see where you got your bum chin from.
The shape of your chin is determined before you're born.
When a fetus develops, its jawbone starts growing on both sides of the head and meets in the middle of the chin.
People who have a chin cleft, two sides of the lower jaw that don't completely fuse together,
have a little space or a cleft, and that's where you have a little bum chin.
I knew your face grows down.
Grows down.
Yeah.
And joins.
And joins.
And that's why, like, if you've got a bum chin, you join right.
You can feel that everybody should be able to feel like there's a little dent in there,
but the size of the dent.
That's what I mean, though.
My dent is getting dentier.
It's getting dentier.
I didn't realize this was a thing that was going to happen.
I've sort of been going, oh, yeah, that's new.
And, yeah, that line's getting more and more permanent.
Yeah.
And then suddenly...
Could you Botox it out? I don't know if you could
Botox a bum chin. You can get fillers.
Can you get fillers? You can get fillers to fill out the bum chin.
But what if my chin becomes too
prominent? Dermal fillers.
What's that guy? Johnny Bravo.
Yeah, with a big chin. But it's a slippery slope.
You never see anyone that just gets a couple
of fillers and some Botox and then stops
and says, that's enough. That's enough.
That's enough.
Yeah.
It's like working on an old house, you know?
You pull down one wall and you find a bit of rot and then you're in the ceiling space.
Yeah.
Like Simon Cowell at the moment, his latest photos.
Oh, what happened there?
Wow.
What is happening there?
It's too tight.
How to correct a prominent cleft chin.
One, dermal fillers.
Two, fat grafting.
Your own fat can be used as a more permanent...
I've got a couple of spots.
So you take it from there and...
But it may increase the overall chin size.
Oh, I didn't know that I had a mid-chin.
Go full Johnny Bravo.
Three, Botox injections can paralyse the chin muscles
to minimise the appearance of the cleft,
but these effects only last a few months.
And genioplasty, which is chinoplasty, basically.
But you don't want that.
I'm going to have to do some research on that.
It's not prominent enough.
It's not.
No, you don't notice.
I can hardly notice.
If it gets worse, I promise you I'll tell you.
Neither of you look at me in the eye.
You're looking me straight in the bum chin right now.
I'm still trying to see it.
It's not prominent enough.
I actually think bum chins are bloody handsome
too. I want to be handsome.
I want to be hot.
It's time for the impossible phone-in
topic. A topic we think is so impossible
we're not going to get too many calls, if any.
Not many, if any.
Now, I mean, this is, you've got to admit,
is quite an amusing story to start this.
Yeah, the Auckland, University of Auckland
and Victoria University of Wellington
have reported receiving notifications from contract sites
showing that students contracted out doing their assignments.
So they cheated.
They found these websites where, I don't know, you got too much on or you didn't do something.
You can go and be like, I need this assignment done.
Someone cranks it out, sends you it.
Wow.
Now, and you pay them for it.
Now, apparently they said, pay us again or we're going to tell the university that you
cheated. I mean, that serves you right going to tell the university that you cheated.
I mean, that serves you right for cheating in the first place.
Yeah.
Oh, I know, but that's a dangerous loop.
Yeah.
Because if you go, okay, well, fine, here's $200 more.
And then they keep extorting you.
Yeah, they keep blackmailing you.
Oh, my gosh.
And then that could work forever, right?
Because even if you were, well, let's hope there's no doctors doing it, but if you were a professional, like a lawyer or something
that needed the qualification, years down the track,
they exposed that you cheated so your qualification is worth zilch.
Yeah, like you became a big hot shot lawyer in massive cases
and they said, well, actually, I've got.
I wrote your essay on...
Law.
Law. Yeah. All the essay on. Law. Law.
Yeah.
Law on the laws.
Yeah.
And then your stuff, no one's going to hire you because you didn't do it.
Yeah.
So contract cheating, apparently in Australia, 10% of Australian university students who
are using this method to cheat.
Get out.
So is it just they just get too overworked and they're just like, well, I'll just pay.
Yeah.
Well, they've paid thousands of dollars for the course and it's all on the line and then they will do their assignments for like $100.
Yeah.
So they're like, well, I'll just pay the $100.
It was too hard at my drama school.
Like I couldn't get someone to come in and be a pancake on the floor for a day.
Oh, gosh.
Imagine if they'd come in.
They would have been double acting because they would have been acting as Hayley as the pancake.
As the pancake. It's layered. I would have been acting as Hayley, as the pancake. As the pancake.
It's layered.
I would have paid out the bloody wazoo for it.
Yes.
I think I would have got caught.
Definitely.
Whereas at mine, you just made it all up and no one really cares.
No inject.
You made up your entire thesis, didn't you?
Correct, I did.
Take my qualification away.
And he has a go at me for doing course at Polytech.
Oh, don't be embarrassed.
You do a beautiful winged liner.
Yes.
And you do some beautiful highlights.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You did so many skills at course.
But for the impossible phoner, we want to know,
has anybody listening now been blackmailed?
Like maybe you were one of the people that had, you know,
you got an assignment done online and they blackmailed you.
Yes.
I think maybe we'll park the kind of revenge porn side of things,
you know, like there's an old side of blackmailing.
No, no, no.
That's horrible.
We want the funny one where it costs you thousands.
Yeah.
Yeah, when someone's just pulled one over on you.
Or what about, like, family members that blackmail you or friends?
Well, you're talking about emotional blackmail.
Yeah, they know your deep, dark secrets.
Yeah, they do.
They know who you've cheated on.
They do.
And so they blackmail you to get something out of you.
Or maybe a workmate blackmails you because they know that you stole that cask of wine
that was sitting just outside the door there.
I didn't take it.
That no one was using. What are you looking at me. I didn't take it. That no one was using.
What are you looking at me?
I didn't take it.
To be fair, it was just being used as a doorstop.
Exactly.
It's a nice, heavy 3kg doorstop.
It's a beautiful doorstop.
So the impossible phoner today, we want you to call us 0800-DARLS-AT-M.
You can text 9696.
Have you ever been blackmail.
Well, the impossible phone-in topic.
A story that came to us this morning. Yeah, news that
cheating university students are paying
for someone to do their assignments and now having to
pay their blackmail updates.
Because the people who
have contracted them doing their assignments
have said, now you owe us more money or we're going to
out you as a cheat.
And some people didn't pay and they literally did email the universities.
Really?
Which is really weird, right?
Because they're the ones that enabled the cheating,
yet they're coming forward saying, I just wanted to let you know there's cheaters here.
Well, this is why I'm flagging because, you know,
I'm always a little bit sus about things.
What if it's the universities making this all up?
It's a test.
To put people off.
Because where are the actual students saying, yes, I'm the one being blackmailed? Have any students come forward or is it just the universities to put people off this exact thing?
Conspiracy.
I like that.
I like that a lot.
Yeah.
I like that a lot.
They should have done a whip around and got more universities on board though.
Yeah, yeah, power in numbers.
I mean, you shouldn't cheat.
You should do it yourself.
Yeah.
But we want to know.
Or not, if you've got 60 bucks.
Yeah, if you've got a little bit of spare cash, have a sleeper.
If you kind of know the answers, you just can't be bothered putting them tangibly.
As long as you know them.
Yeah, yeah, as long as you promise me you know them.
So we want to know the impossible phone-in topic.
Have you ever been blackmailed?
My children constantly blackmail me for speeding or swearing,
is this text message.
And then after I've bought them an ice cream or whatever they wanted to not tell my wife,
they usually end up telling her anyway.
Yeah, can't be trusted.
Just treacherous little bees.
Do your kids do that to you?
No, not really.
I'm telling mum.
No, they're not old enough yet not really. I'm telling mum. Nah,
they're not old enough yet, maybe. I'm telling mum.
They're not old enough to pull a... I'm telling mum. I'd just really
be like, tell her then.
I dare you. Pull the bluff. I dare you to tell her.
Yeah. See what she says.
Somebody messaged and I told my friend
at an intermediate that our intermediate art teacher
smelt weird and she said, I'm
going to tell on you unless you give me
all your Pokemon cards.
And I was so scared
of getting in trouble,
I ended up giving her
all my Pokemon cards.
It's been 20 years
and I'm still fuming about it.
Who is this friend?
You need to get them back.
So-called friend, yeah.
Yeah, what's the...
So who cares?
The teacher smells weird.
The teacher probably got told
all the time they smell weird.
You know how brutal kids can be.
Yeah, especially if they did smell a bit weird.
But our teachers normally do.
Oh, they do.
It was probably marijuana.
It was definitely a combination of marijuana and no deodorant.
Yeah, and whatever they were using to wax their dreadlocks.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So those things get a little pong pong.
A bit mouldy.
Somebody asked me when I was working at a daycare,
my son was there also, and he broke a window.
And the boss of the daycare said,
if you stay working for us and keep your son here,
we won't make you pay for the window.
If you wanted to leave, how much does a window cost?
I'm imagining if he broke it, it was single guys.
How big?
Yeah.
Is it worth?
And how long do you have to stay?
And were you getting paid to work there?
What, and the kid's 18 and he's still at daycare?
I don't know.
This is madness.
Yeah, lots of people getting that sort of level blackmail.
But no one getting a massive sort of anonymous letter in the mailbox?
I once caught my older brother smoking.
I blackmailed him saying, buy me an Xbox One.
And then he bought an Xbox One. And I thought, oh my gosh, he's bought me an Xbox One. And then he bought an Xbox One
and I thought, oh my gosh,
he's bought me an Xbox One.
And then on the way into the house
with the Xbox One,
he said to mum,
by the way, I smoke now.
And then set up the Xbox One
and played it in front of me.
And never let me hit a turn.
Power play.
Yeah, absolute power play.
Power play.
Absolute power play.
There's no stopping them.
All right, bit of blackmailing happening, but nothing on a major scale.
Nothing on a major scale.
Although, here's the thing, though.
If you're going to be blackmailed, it's got to be juicy, right?
So no one's going to call up and say, I was doing this really illegal thing or really immoral thing.
Because you have to admit to that in order to explain.
Because then you have to admit to that as well.
They could have anonymously messaged him.
Yeah, that's true.
But they didn't.
So the Christmas season is approaching
and for some of us that means
sitting around a table with family
and for some that is a sort of a fancier,
a fancier meal.
Yes. You know, at Christmas you might get Nan a fancier, a fancier meal. Yes.
You know, at Christmas, you might get Nan's plates out, for example.
Oh.
We've got Nana's plates and Nana's cutlery.
Oh, yeah, you get the nice plates out.
Oh, what about that?
You've got to polish the silver.
Yeah, you've got to polish the silverware with some of the poisonous,
and then the next day you're eating using them.
I don't know.
What's the maths on that?
Yeah, I don't know.
Well, there is a, I mean, I just cannot let it slip that we're listening to this.
God, I love it.
White Lotus.
I'm thinking of banning this.
You both get so distracted every time this one plays.
The last episode of White Lotus is out on Monday,
and I cannot wait.
I wish I could just sleep till then and not be conscious.
Do you know I googled yesterday online how much a night at this hotel they're shooting this TV show is?
Oh, you told me.
Like $2,500 to $3,000 a night.
Good Lord.
But like, let's go.
Anyway, so there is an etiquette expert in Britain called Lucy Challenger.
And she is the founder and CEO of high-end Mayfair agency Polo & Tweed.
Polo & Tweed.
Yes.
Which sources employees for uber-wealthy people.
Right, like at the White Lotus.
Waitstaff, butlers, all that kind of stuff.
Right.
Like you may find at the White Lotus. You guys didn't tell me there's a chimney in the White Lotus. Waitstaff, butlers, all that kind of stuff. Right. Like you may find at the White Lotus.
You guys didn't tell me there's a chimney in the White Lotus.
Is there?
My friend, Callum just messaged me saying,
I don't want to oversell White Lotus to you,
but it does feature a chimney.
Yes, there was.
There's an old one.
Yeah, an old one.
I saw it and I was like, is it a Suzuki?
Anyway, so she is on TikTok etiquette around food,
like this one, for example.
Now, in formal dining in Britain,
it's unlikely that you'd be served pizza.
But if you were, you would use a knife and fork to eat.
No, no, no, no, no.
She's got that wrong, hasn't she?
Yeah, I got a floppy, floppy pizza last weekend
when we were playing D&D.
And it was like a long, and it was one of those ones,
you had to fold it, but you
had to also fold the tip back into the
main part of the pizza. Like that long and
floppy, fold it in, then fold it up and
no way, knife and fork, what am I?
Prince Charles? How embarrassing.
How embarrassing.
But this is for you,
actually, Vaughn, because I know that you
love the humble
Christmas mince tart. Huge fan.
This is how you eat them.
This is how you eat them.
One bite.
It's got to be a big one.
And then the next time, as you're pushing it towards your mouth, you push in the sides that you bit from.
Pinch.
And it collapses it, and then you can fit all the rest in your mouth.
Two bites tops.
Shall we hear how Lucy describes how to eat it?
To eat the mince pie, one would pick up a mince pie with the thumb and first finger
and lift the mince pie away from the plate.
We're acting out.
The mince pie is crumbly, so make sure anything that falls from the mince pie falls onto your plate.
I now eat the mince pie in delicate bites, around four to six.
Four to six?
No, that goes all in the gob
at once, right? Oh, I thought we were going to get more technique.
She just told us how to pick something up. Oh, she
goes on for a while, but honestly, it's not worth listening to
when she's four to six. And she's talking about one of
the little mini Christmas mince
tarts.
You don't nibble those. It's like sushi.
But does she nibble around or does she just eat
straight across the mince pie in a series
of bites? Just bites.
I'm the same with sushi.
All in the mouth, right?
Yeah, and they just deal with it once it's in there.
Yeah, it all goes to pieces.
Yeah.
She's talking about how to not overindulge this Christmas so the slower you eat as well,
the less likely I'd have more Christmas mince pie.
Shut up.
Sometimes I'm so happy to be trash, eh?
Being trash rules.
No one has any expectations.
She's trash.
We shall now listen to this music for about 20 to 30 seconds.
Drop the beat.
Oh, no, not yet, not yet.
Guys, if you haven't been watching White Learners,
you haven't been watching White Lotus, you haven't been watching life.
Some people don't get White Lotus.
I mean, do they get this jam?
Six, seven, eight.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley
Silly little poe
Silly little poe
It is so silly, silly, silly That the silly little poe Silly Little Pole today.
Do you Google the menu before going to a restaurant?
Well, we've let the cat out of the bag.
We're going to our Mac. We're going to our Mac...
We're going to be in our MacPak tent tomorrow somewhere in the Garden City.
We all know where that is.
I know.
And we're going out for dinner tonight.
And Hayley, straight on, Googling the menu.
I'll Google the menu at a fancy place or like a cheap fast food.
I cannot go and not know it.
Yeah, I love Googling the menu.
But I still get there and then I give the actual menu such a going over once I'm there as well.
Because you might have missed it.
Yeah.
But don't you want to just get there and be excited when you see it?
Nah.
I want to sit down and they're like, ready?
Would you like to start with some drinks?
And I'm like, no, let's start with food.
Yeah.
And I know what I want to get on the table first.
Oh my God, I hate that.
I'm like, you just stay here and give me a little bit of time
because if you take my drinks
and then go away,
I'm still hungry.
Yeah.
Take it all now.
Yeah, like when we go out,
like if we go out for brunch afterwards,
as soon as they come to the table,
we're like, we want this, this, this, and this.
Yeah, and then if we get a cinnamon scroll,
we're always like,
don't save that for pudding.
Just bring it first.
Bring it as it's ready.
Bring it now.
I can see them now
just bring it here
but most people
are googling
91% of people
google the menu
before they go
I think the only time
I google is to know
that I'm going to like
the restaurant
if I don't know it
like I don't want to go
somewhere for dinner
and not like anything
or it not be my
type of place
yeah
Alex says
I google it
so I know what the menu
items are like
and how hungry I want to be.
Very good call.
Oh, yes.
I also look up the Instagram location tag too for photos to see what looks best.
Sometimes their photos on their menu don't, you know,
as in how it's represented.
Same, same, same.
Not for the gram, but I just want to know what's yum and what looks good.
This is what people that run Thai food places get right,
is a photo of the dish.
Yes.
We need to do that in all restaurants.
It's not classy to have a laminated giant menu with photos.
But I get a visual of what I'm going to order.
Well, we're going out tonight,
and you've been all over the Instagram.
We're going to Fifth Street.
I've literally looked at every dish that we're ordering.
Which is every dish.
Which is every dish.
Josh said, Absolutely, I've been terrified of becoming a
difficult customer by food service TikTok.
I have to know what I'm ordering before
I arrive now. I don't want to hold up anybody.
That's good to know though. I bet they appreciate it.
Yeah. Tyler says no way. I like
the spontaneity of just turning
up and deciding what I want when I get there.
Why Google it? The point of going out is to
try different things that you can't cook at home, says Joel.
Just because I can Google it doesn't mean I can cook it at home, Joel.
Presumptuous of you.
I get what he's saying, though.
Calm down, Joel.
Caitlin says, of course I do.
What if I haven't rehearsed asking for what I want and panic order something yucky?
I love she's going a step further.
She's doing some rehearsals.
That's the worst, though, when you panic order. I love she's going a step further. She's doing some rehearsals. That's the worst though.
Can I have,
I might try there.
I'll just,
warm up.
I would like the cob loaf.
I'll get the cold oyster soup.
No.
No.
I've stuffed up there.
I need to decide if I'm actually going
or if I'll be sick
based purely on menu
and pricing
so that's
Courtney's
sick on pricing
and menu
yeah yeah
either or
I don't
but my wife does
all the time
tells me what I would like
and then I usually
order it on my own person
I really am
says Earl
sounds to me
like an extension
of your wife
so there you go
yeah
we're a big bunch
of Googlers you've got to Google there you go. Yeah, we're a big bunch of Googlers.
You've got to Google before you go.
See ya, see ya later.
Actually, I'm going to have to stop you there.
That's copyrighted.
Suzy Keisha's a very good friend of mine.
She's already sued me twice,
so if you could maybe get her to drop her litigious action,
that would be great.
Tell her I'll review her five stars
if she does the same for this podcast.
And then she tells all her friends.
And if you're listening, maybe give it five stars. Yeah. If she does the same for this podcast. Yeah. And then she tells all her friends. And if you're listening,
maybe give it five stars as well.
