The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe, try their refreshing McCafe iced coffee. It's available now at Macca's. It's something we didn't have time for today on the show. I can't believe we didn't prioritise this. We talked about so much bullshit.

I know, we should have talked about it on the hour, every hour. Yeah, I think so. For an update. This morning on my way to work, on the scooter, as I scooted past St. Pierre's Sushi, which has one of those bento, you know, it's like a two-in-one. It's got the sushi, but it's also got the place where you get the bento bowls. More of a Don Beret situation. Like a Don Beret. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I love. More of a Don Beret situation Like a Don Beret

Yeah yeah yeah Which I love I love a Don Beret Same I glanced in And just out of the corner of my eye In this closed store I saw a pigeon

Now A pigeon Trapped How the fuck It's trapped in the store Did a pigeon Hide somewhere So that the

I assume French Japanese staff Of St. Pierre's Sushi Didn't Yeah Wouldn't see a pigeon. I don't know. Usually they're scattering around and they're pecking about. You can't miss them. I mean, this St. Pierre's will need, in my opinion, a top-to-bottom clue.

Well, yeah. It's going to be shatting everywhere. It is going to be shatting. Do they sleep, though, pigeons? No, they don't. Everything sleeps. No. They just stay awake until they explode.

That's why they're always so skittery. Well, it was just kind of like plodding around on the floor. Looking for sushi, but there's nothing. Well, I think it was maybe looking for an exit. Yeah. What's in a St. Pierre's sushi after dark? They put everything away, don't they? The empty things.

Yeah, display cases. The fridgy things. And they just have fridges at the back with food but there's nothing in there for the picture yeah this is why i couldn't be trusted to like open up or close a retail outlet when you worked in retail did you have to open or close horrible like that would be my worst nightmare i'd leave a sign out closing closing was always nerve-wracking for sure because you'd be like, I've set the alarm, eh? I've locked the door, eh? The roller door's down, eh?

Go back to it, give it a tick-tick, give it a pull-pull, give it a beep-beep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But still, if you're at home or you're in bed, you're like, did I set the alarm? Also, that is way too much responsibility to put on people that you're not paying much. Oh, I know.

I was 18 years old as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's about locking up thousands of dollars worth of stuff. That's right, right? So if something goes wrong, possibly even into the tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff to go walkies. Yeah. And they're putting that on an 18-year-old being paid minimum wage. Oh, yeah, it was minimum wage at the time.

Yeah. To take care of all that. And this is how pigeons end up in sushi shops. Pigeons locked in there. Some poor minimum wage. I wouldn't check for pigeons. I'd be out the door. It's like when I leave here,

I don't care. I pack my stuff and I'm gone. Yeah, but there's somebody here. Yeah, true. To take care of it after you leave. You're not locking up NZ me. No. This is eternally open.

Okay, if you had to lock up, where would you go out? That door. Roller door. That door. That door, because it locks behind you. It locks behind you, yeah. That's a fair call.

But again, it's a lot of pressure, isn't it? Imagine if we came in here in the morning and we noticed that a pigeon's been in here the whole night. Oh, God. It stinks. Baby pigeons. They've got bugs on them.

They're rats of the sky. Flying rats. I saw a pigeon. I was sitting in a pub the other day and I was out on the balcony and it kind of looks over onto the rats of the sky Flying rats Filthy things I saw a pigeon I was sitting in a pub the other day And I was out on the balcony And it kind of looks over onto like the roof of the place below And then one of those big ass seagulls Mollyhawks Seagulls

Mollyhawks They're mollyhawks They look like a seagull but like on steroids Yeah but not quite an albatross Yeah it's a mollyhawk Yeah roided seagulls Yeah In the air

Went oof with a pigeon Caught it, pulled it down to the roof next to us, and the pigeon like sat there stunned. It just had its head down like this and proceeded to bite its neck. What? Sexually? No, no, no, no. Like to like kill it. Predatorily.

And then it left it. And was it dead? Dead as. I've seen. It was what? We were just like, oh! Trying to have a cheap salve. I'm trying to enjoy

my salve, Molly Horne! I paid 26 bucks for this bottle at a bar. I think it's a bird-eat-bird world out there. I've seen a duck pecking at a seagull carcass on a road. I've seen a pigeon pecking at a duck on the road. I mean, I see a lot of pigeons in the city.

Just yesterday I saw some devouring a leftover KFC quarter pack. I was going to say, if there was a chicken katsu cutlet left behind in St. Pierre's sushi. They'd eat it 100%. They would. But then they don't have the ability to recognise that prior to its cooked form. Someone might present to you one day a casserole.

You'd eat it and say, delicious. And they'd say, really? Because it was your mum. And then you wouldn't know. Because you never saw your mum as a casserole. And you'd feel bad because you said it was yum. And you just ate your mum. Thanks, Rachel.

Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. It's two minutes past six. Happy International Women's Day. Thank you. Not to you. Sorry, everyone. That was just for me in the room.

Well, you can't have women without men. Well, Anna's in the room, but she's not on a mic, so you don't exist to the listener. But I see you. I've always seen you in all of your beauty and grace and smarts and strength.

Thank you. Right. See, now I've forgotten how to say strength. Strength. International Women's Day. Oh, sorry. I'll let you speak.

No, no, please. Steamroll over my... No, no. It's about equality. You interrupt her as much as you interrupt anybody. Guys, that's true. Yeah, I don't want

any special treatment today. Yeah. Or you won't be getting it. Do you remember that International Women's Day they gave the men the day off? That was good. That was a great time. That was good stuff.

And it's Winston. That was good stuff. I was in full support of that. And I'm surprised it's not happening again. What a way to celebrate women. Make them do all the work. Were you hiking around Abel Tasman? Yeah, I was.

Beautiful down there. Yeah, beautiful. Beautiful spot. Oh, I would have loved to have seen it. Too bad. Get back to work. Coming up on the show, the top sex returns. Don't tell me.

Don't tell me. You were literally present. Ticky-tocky. You were present in the room. I said don't tell me. Don't tell me. You were literally present. Ticky-tocky. You were present in the room. I said don't tell me. It was taking too long. It was around the tip of my tongue. Russia, TikTok said,

no TikTok for you, Russia. And Russia presumably was like, oh man. How I do my little dogs. What I do now. For time other than invade. So I've got the top six things rushes missed on TikTok

in the last 24 hours. So much can happen on the top. You know, what do they say? A day on the top could be a lifetime. So much and yet just nothing at all. Absolutely zero.

Yeah. I've got to get onto the top. You don't. I feel like I should. I've got to get onto the top. You don't. I feel like I should. I wouldn't. I'm a lot younger than you. And yet, still too old for TikTok. Still too old.

Yeah. Bugger. Missed it. So that's coming up. Back to you, Fletch. Next on the show, we're going to talk Batman. You've seen this new Batman movie. It rules. I've heard it's coming up. Back to you, Fletch. Next on the show, we're going to talk Batman. You've seen this new Batman movie. It rules.

I've heard it's very long. I didn't feel long. Well, no, somebody complained to you that it was too long. I don't know why they were complaining. It was Carwen. Yeah. She said we didn't warn her that it was so long. She's yappy, isn't she?

What did she want? Do you know what I mean? Don't let her be yappy today, please. Always going on and on. God, let's just shush, shush, shush, Carwen. I don't find her to be yappy at all. Carwen, shush, shush, shush. It is 2 hours 56. That's too long

for a movie. No, under 3 hours is absolutely acceptable. Yeah, but it's pushing 3 hours. It's a blockbuster. It's a superhero blockbuster film. It's the first one of Robert Pattinson's outing as Batman. Tell me it's too well. Well, at a screening of the new Batman movie,

there's been an interruption in the cinema, in the theatre. We want to talk about this next. Well, the new Batman movie is out. It is called The Batman. The Batman.

Robert Pattinson. Yep, he's The Batman. Robert Pattinson. Yep, he's The Batman. Spoiler alert. You'll probably work that out though. Because no one else can, but we've worked it out. No one would have imagined. I mean, he's worked in some bat-related material before in a vampire film.

But no one would have sort of picked him as the next Batman. He wasn't the obvious choice. And Jared, controversially, has just said he's his new favourite Batman. He does a great Batman. It's a different Batman. Christian Bale was a great Batman. It's his masked voice like, hey, I'm Batman. He just takes a totally different approach. Because he's British, isn't he?

Hey, I'm Batman. You put that young boy down now. Before I come over there and sort you out. You'll regret it. Because I'm Batman batman no he's got like a there was an interview with him and he said it's hard not to do the christian bale because it became so iconic but i think he does a pretty good batman voice what's his back can you just give me give me his batman voice it's like it's it's like a little bit gruff, but it's like,

I'm vengeance. Oh, right. It's got to be Bruce Wayne. People will be like, oh, you sound like Bruce Wayne. He's got to have some voice changing. Put it on a bit. Yeah, you've got to be it.

Well, a screening over the weekend, and in America, is it the biggest post-pandemic movie release? It's pretty bloody good. It smashed it. Oh, is it? Because Spider-Man was massive. Well, it made $120 million

over the opening weekend. Wow, that's a lot of money. Did that beat Spider-Man? One of the screenings has gone viral on Twitter because actual bats came into the movie. There were movie bats in the movie theatre

during Batman. Was this like a promotional thing? Like a stunt? A promo stunt? Like in Schitt's Creek at Moira's movie release where they release the crows. And it becomes a PR nightmare. But no, there's video of bats flying around the cinema before the movie's starting.

And people are like, get rid of those. Oh, not cool anymore. They're kind, you know. Sorry for bats. Bloody Wuhan's really... We never had that confirmed that bat was bats, by the way. I thought that was a ferret and a duck. Don't feel sorry for bats.

Bats, one bird of the year. They're doing well for themselves. We saw the tiny bats, didn't we? We saw the tiny bats. When we were in the Whanganui National Park. I'll never get over that. Canoeing. I'll never get over that.

Well, yeah, it's not a bird, is it? It's not a bird. It's not a bird. It's a bat. But there was complaints from the producers both that I think

this phenomenal Batman movie, which, by the way, features probably my favourite Batmobile. Oh, okay, yeah. And then you said to me before the Batmobile's not real.

Oh, they're not real. They are real. they have to make them You're just thinking of the one at Movie World It just looks like They don't have rockets in them They don't have rockets, but they still have to make them I'm saying purely on looks You can't go to a car yard

And be like, did the 2022 Batmobile Did the 2022 Batmobile Yes we do, but we've had to remove the rockets I think there was an RX-7 called the Batmobile at one stage. But, Carwen, you said for a three-hour-long movie, you're disappointed this didn't pass the Bechdel test? Bechdel? Bechdel?

What's that? So it's like a little way of rating movies in terms of, like, female representation. Okay. So the movie needs to have two women, two named women, so not just, like... Extras. Yeah. In a coffee shop. Okay. So the movie needs to have two women, two named women, so not just like... Extras. Yeah.

In a coffee shop. Yeah. And they need to talk to each other or other people about something other than like a man and like in a romantic sort of... Okay, yeah, I've heard about this. Well, what are they going to talk about? Yeah, exactly.

It's quite hard to talk. You know what I mean? Like what? Literally everybody in the movie, regardless of gender, was talking about this. Well, what are they going to talk about? Yeah, exactly. It's quite hard to pass. You know what I mean? Like, what? Literally everybody in the movie, regardless of gender, was talking about this mysterious vigilante at night. Or the Riddler. I know.

Everybody. Maybe they need a female villain. So did it pass? No. You've seen the movie. It didn't pass. Oh, right. It didn't pass.

But surely people that are making movies know about this because this has been around for a few years, right? Yeah. So you'd just put it in just to please everybody, wouldn't you? You'd think so. No, a lot of, unfortunately, a lot of superhero movies

don't ever pass this. Yeah. Wonder Woman. Did Wonder Woman? I assume so, yeah. God, you'd think so. I'm just having a look. But then again,

she is in love the whole time. Is she not? Black Widow? Yeah, but have you seen Chris Pine? The guy's a goddamn McDonald's. He is. I'd be, if Chris Pine was in front of me,

I'd do nothing but talk about Chris Pine. Regardless of his drink driving conviction. He did get done drink driving in the South Island. While filming Z for Zachary. There's a website, thebechteltest.com. Bechteltest.com. Do they have a ranking of like what movie? Well, it just gives you a list

and you get a green tick or a red cross. Interesting one. Fast and Furious 9's in there. And did that pass? It passed. Yeah, because they were talking about two boys. They were talking about cars. Not boys.

Not men. Okay, right. What do you reckon Michelle Rodriguez? And she says, this car's got it, girl. Yeah, this tick. And that's all it took. Vroom, vroom, fast car. Yeah.

And off they go, tickety-boo, on the list. There needs to be a ranking, though. Now that I know that there's... I need to know what movie has the most minutes of a female talking to another female, both named characters, about something that's not a man. Minutes-wise.

Ghostbusters. Hang on. The 2016 Ghostbusters. Yeah, they were talking about ghosts. The 25 best movies that passed the Bechdel test with flying, bend it like Beckham. Oh, wow. All they do is talk about bloody football.

They do spend a bit of time talking about David Beckham. No. Yes, they do. Yeah, but not in like a hot, It's not the whole movie. Hot and horny way. Yeah, yeah. And they're talking about his football skills,

not his handsome date ability. Frozen. Oh, yeah, yeah. And they're talking about his football skills, not his. Yeah, but there's undertones there, isn't there? Handsome datability. Frozen. Oh, yeah, Frozen. There's lots of chat there. Kill Bill. Hidden Figures. Bridesmaids. Hidden Figures.

Hunger Games. Great movie. Ghostbusters, the female version. Look, I don't hate to say it on International Women's Day. But? But it was a terrible film. I really apologise but as a woman

I can't stand by that piece of work. Okay well you wrap that one up because I don't feel happy commenting on that on International Women's Day any day really.

No, stand by it. I haven't seen the movie but I like the cast. I thought the cast was phenomenal. I don't know where it went wrong. I'd have to watch it to review it for myself. Next on the show. Oh, the exorcist passed the Bechdel test.

Oh, that's great. Thank God, because all she talks about is Satan and Beelzebub. Gender check on Satan? Widely regarded as male. He, him, I think. Is it he, him? Is it a he, him? Satan.

Or are they? I don't know. God is a woman. Ariana Grande sung that song and if God's a woman there's no reason Satan couldn't be one.

And Alanis Morissette was God in that movie. Guys, Texas Chainsaw Massacre also passes this test. Because they talk two women talk about chainsaws. Yeah, they do.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Half of British people Say they're using Less physical cash Post pandemic Well not post pandemic Because it's not over yet Is it

But compared to What they were Preemptive Pre-pandemic I love when people say You know this post COVID I'm like We're not post COVID

Like literally We have the highest Cases at the moment Ever Baby baby We're one variant Away from all being dead Baby baby Um Mmm No one variant away from all being dead. Baby, baby.

No one stayed at home and it made the... No one stayed at home and wore masks properly and it caused another variant, one that is immune. Let's try to be positive. Yeah, let's be honest.

Well, not COVID positive. Let's try to stay COVID negative. Ah, but people are using less coins and notes. Because it's yucky dirty. Pretty much. A lot of places in New Zealand don't accept cash anymore. I saw a middle-aged man intimidating a teenage girl about her not wanting to take cash, even though that was the store's policy and she had zero choice in it.

You've got to. It's legal tender. Yeah, a lot of supermarkets have gone to like the self-serve or just cashless and giving you maybe one check out that's cash. Yeah. Oh, this wasn't this was just a shop and it said

no cash. Oh, wow. And she's like, I don't even know where to put it. They still take check? Nah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of places, a lot of supermarkets have phased those out. My supermarket had a sign up. What? Known cheques.

What would you do if you cheque booked? I think it's 2022. You get a credit card. I think we were both joking. I think cheques on a whole have been phased out completely, haven't they? No, I don't think you can do them anymore. Kiwi Bank was just like, we might opt out. And all the other banks were like, somebody had to go first.

We'll follow suit. This study, what comes from the UK, New Zealanders as a whole already use like so much FPOS and PayWave. Well, we were the testing ground. Yeah. We were, yeah. New Zealand was the FPOS testing ground.

Do you remember when you used to go to Australia and then you'd have FPOS and they would just be like, what are you talking about? And you just be like, what are you doing? And you'd be like, oh, how do I pay? And then their 50 cent coins weigh like half a kg.

Huge things. Your pockets are like tearing. They haven't updated those either, are they? They're still monstrous. These are like Olympic medals. Like we downgraded our size, didn't we,

of the 50s? Yeah. But I think it's such a problem in New Zealand, the Reserve Bank are trying to come up with strategies to keep more cash in the system. I reckon burn it.

Why do we want cash in the system? Wouldn't that take care of inflation? Because they're worried that like... When it gets back to the bank, the bank's like, we're going to burn some. And then they get rid of it. I think they're worried if something happens, like a disaster or something, and there's no internet,

and they tell us we'll need cash and there won't be any. Ah, ticks. I've got some cash in my hands. This was hard to come by, wasn't it? We've got the COVID kitty. Whoever gets COVID first gets the kitty. Currently sitting at, what is it, $25? Yeah.

$30. No, because I think Georgia got in too. Didn't Georgia? Well, she hasn't put in her $5. Oh, sorry. There's $30 and $0.10. Okay, so Georgia can't have put in. Oh, some hero overpaid.

Anna overpaid by 10 cents. But it is, I mean, we've got nice money. We've got pretty money. It'll be a shame to see it go. Yeah, I think we've always, it's been redesigned, isn't it? And updated. We've got a good looking. We've got good coins.

In 2019, there were 2.6 billion ATM cash withdrawals in Britain. Yeah. Wow. In 2020, there were 1.6. So that went down a billion. Wow. In one year. A billion's a lot.

And then it fell another 100 million in 2021 to 1.5 billion. So they said like, they've never seen. Yeah, right. That's the indicator of people withdrawing cash. But then a lot of people would be using like Apple Pay, SmartPay on your phone. There's just new ways to pay. And how do you do your accounts? That's hard.

It's hard to track cash spending. That's why people like cash, though, eh? Yeah, under the table work and stuff. They talk about, you know, getting rid of cash or whatever. Some old blotter on ZB's like, you can't get rid of cash, it's a human right. And you're like, you pay people in cash. Yeah, get the IRD in to check on Leighton Smith, please. He's like, you can't get rid of cash. It's a human right. And you're like, you pay people in cash. Yes, you do.

Yeah, get the IRD in to check on Leighton Smith, please. He's a huge fan of cash. Next on the show, the top six. Yeah, the top six things Russia's missed on TikTok in the last 24 hours. Because they've banned it. But yeah, no more. Ha! From the self-driving ZM think tank, This is the Top 6 Hi

Yeah It's everything The sound Everything's like Visuals It's very aggressive Isn't it? And everything's

Ten seconds long. How long is everything? You sound like 80 complaining about the loud neighbours. But people whinge about Twitter, but Twitter's written. You can read two words and be like, not for me, next. No, Twitter's pretty bad. Why don't you start a gentle talk? Yeah, gentle talk.

You can start an account and it's just like, when people are scolding like that, and you're just like, hey there. But then there's ASMR on TikTok. Maybe this is just because I know it's very clever, the algorithm. This is what my children watch. Yeah.

God, what's that going to mean kids are going to be like when they grow up? Pinging. Like things are going to be really loud. Absolutely, without pingers. Pinging without pingers. Back in my day, you had to take drugs to hit those sorts of things. You did. Now you just keep scrolling, scrolling, you had to take drugs to hit those sorts of things. You did.

Now you just keep scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Now it's bloody inbred into them. So I've got the top six things Russia's missed on TikTok in the last 24 hours. Okay. Because she's a whole ecosystem

on there of content. Number six on the list. Boy, oh boy. Those Russians have missed some lip syncs. People put a little song on or maybe a movie quote and then they practice the lip syncing to it.

Yeah. Oh, boy, oh, boy. I think they call it a duet. No, duets where you do side by side. I don't know. Original sound. I don't care. Number five on the list of the top six things

Russians missed on TikTok in the last 24 hours. Who's your celebrity twin filter? It's someone that looks nothing like you. So I didn't realise that none of those filters are real. So you choose. So you upload a photo of a celebrity and then you do that filter. No, that's the one that scans down, right?

It pretends it's scanning your face and then... Yeah, yeah. But the celeb that gets revealed, you pick it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one you do. But the other one that scans down, right? It pretends it's scanning your face and then... Yeah, yeah. But the celeb that gets revealed, you pick it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one you do. But the other one that's just like... and shows half a face is just completely random. Yeah.

I watched one where it was a Pakeha woman and it was like... and then her face was Barack Obama and she was like, eh? What? I probably wouldn't have uploaded that one. Number four on the list of the top six things rushers missed on TikTok in the last 24 hours.

Something to do with Encanto. That movie's everywhere, especially on TikTok. I haven't seen it yet. It is a really great movie. I've heard it's great. It is a really great movie. Why are you trying to bring it down then? Just because some of the content

that people are creating around it is so great. What's your beef with Encanto? People can't sing as well as the people who played them on the movie. Leave it to the professionals, you know. Number three on the list of the top six things rushers missed on TikTok in the last 24 hours. Insert annoying TikTok auto voice. This filter shows you what your face would look like

if it was perfect. And then it just puts lines on your face and it never really shows you what your face would look like if it was perfect. Unless then it just puts lines on your face. And it never really shows you what your face would look like if it was perfect. Unless it's trying to tell you your face is perfect. In which case, don't lie to me. I know I'm no Zizhi Hadid. Absolutely not. She's been scientifically...

Perfect face. Asymmetrical. Symmetrical. Asymmetrical means non-symmetrical, doesn't it? Yes. Okay. She's very symmetrical. Yeah, she is. Which is like a weird. She's very symmetrical. Yeah, she is. Which is like a weird maths compliment to your body. Yes, it is, yeah. God damn, boy, you're symmetrical.

You'd be like, thank you. Is that creepy or geometrically complimentary? Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six things rushers missed on TikTok in the last 24 hours, one of the D'Amelios, the dancing sisters. One of the D'Amelios doing a dance to a

Michael Jackson song. Which D'Amelio was that, Karwin? Charlie. Charlie D'Amelio. What Michael Jackson song was it? Probably a banger. I'm eating toast. She was doing it. It's international.

Let Karwin eat toast. She was doing it. It's international. Did a little dance with one of the guys. Let Carwen eat toast. I apologise. She did a little dance with, what is his name? One of the other famous ones. That's a man. Well, a boy, actually. And what song was it?

This is a great description, Carwen. This is TikTok. It happens. It's 10 seconds. It's gone and it was loud and it was all go and then you forget about it you're on to the next one and number one

on the list of the top six things Russia's missed on TikTok over the last 24 hours again you're gonna need that TikTok voice that does the readout

does the talk I don't quite know when yeah this filter shows you what you would look like if you were in a Disney film. And then just like gives you some cartoon eyes.

Big googly eyes. So they haven't missed much. Absolutely zero of consequence. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, there's a mum absolutely raging online. Her son went to a birthday party. Okay.

As young kids are known to do. It was an eight-year-old birthday party. It was his best friend's party, in fact. And the mum said to the other mum, we don't give him sweets. He doesn't. We don't give him sweets and sugar. What kind of mum is this? Yeah.

Anyway, the kid came back and he was like, wow, did you enjoy the party? He's like, yeah, I played games. We did pass a parcel. I ate birthday cake. The mum's like, what? What did you say? He brings up the other mum and has absolutely had a go at her

for allowing her son to eat birthday cake. Is he on a no sugar diet? Well, looking ahead, he doesn't have any allergies. It's not like he's terribly allergic to eggs or nuts or something. Is he just hyperactive on sugar?

Who isn't? All kids are hyperactive on sugar. Maybe he's got those parents that are like super healthy and fits bone. They don't eat sugar or anything. She's really come for the other mum online. She's like, well, you know, I love her. She's my friend. But historically, she's a real yes person.

They always say yes to their son. And there's no consequences. That's not how we raise our son. We have boundaries. You've had a not how we raise our sons. We have boundaries. You've had a lot of kids' birthday parties. Do other parents say no fish or shellfish or peanuts? No. No, just...

I mean, if these parents know of us or have ever listened to the show where I'm constantly banging on about how I don't have time for anybody's dietary requirements, I'm imagining they're just going to let their kids eat what they're going to eat at our house. You know? Yeah. I mean, the vegan kids probably wouldn't come. Yeah. I remember growing up

with a kid that had a nut allergy. Nut allergy? Allergies? I can completely understand. Oh, 100%. I completely understand. But if it's just like my kid does keto. Yeah. What kind of horrible parent are you making a kid do keto?

Unless it's for like a medical reason. Again, that's like an allergen. That's a medical reason, totally. But if it's just because you've got a feeling. Yeah. You've got a feeling it's not good. Is the food you're catering at Indy's party, is that paleo?

Is that going to be plant-based? Plant-based. Well, there'll be... Well, there'll be lots of meat. Lots of dates. There'll be meat. How do you make meat? From an animal.

And what did the animal eat? Grass. Grass. Plants. It's a circle of life, baby. It's plant-based. Yeah. I was allowed to eat anything as a kid.

Me too. We were quite fussy. So anytime we wanted to eat something, my mum was just like, yeah, just eat. We were allowed to eat anything, but we didn't have like the snacks. Oh, no, no, no. I thought you were just talking about parties. Like when we went to parties, anything goes.

No roll-ups? What was the other roll-ups? There was roll-ups and then there was the sheet. The sheet was the roll-up. What's this one? The fruit for yonks. Yes, that was like a tape measure. That was a tape measure and it had a layer of baking paper

between every second roll right out. It was like a metre of sugar. Yeah, basically. We weren't allowed those. But I could see why because those things were quite expensive. Did you ever stay with your grandparents growing up? No, not really.

We didn't live in the same city as them. Because my parents would go on holiday and leave us behind, classic. And I'd go stay at my nana's house and she'd be like, okay, what do you eat? She'd ask me. She wouldn't say to mum and dad,

what does he have for school lunch? So did you lie? Usually I had this little lunch box with a sandwich and a piece of fruit and I don't know. We also didn't get little bags of chips. Raisins sometimes. But we had a big bag of chips and poured don't know. We also didn't get little bags of chips. Raisins sometimes. But we had a big bag of

chips and poured it into little bags. Oh yeah. Because when we moved out that was a more economical way of doing it. Yeah true. But that was even rare. So Nana said what do you have? I was like fruit for yonks, LCMs. LCMs? That was just like a Coco Pops bar. With marshmallows. Yeah she was like oh what else?

Dunkaroos? And she took me to the supermarket and she's like, pick. And I'm like, yeah, Dunkaroos. Tiny titties. And so I ended up taking these huge boxes for lunch. I'm like, you guys are not going to believe what my nana believes. I'm going to eat all this. And everyone's like, whoa. Set up a little shop.

Yeah. Wow. She's like, how do you water your juice? I'm like, two sachets to two litres. And she's like, okay. As opposed to having it watered down one sachet. Yeah, mostly we'll water one sachet to two litres. At my school, we used to take like a packet of Raro

and you just pour it on your hand and lick it all day. Just like pouring it. Or just dip your finger in. Yeah, dip your finger in. Jelly crystals. Yeah, yum. Good stuff. Oh my God, just straight up gelatin and sugar.

Yeah. Well, on the back of the mum not allowing her son to eat birthday cake, we want to ask this morning, was there something you weren't allowed to eat as a kid? Yeah, be it in your sort of daily lunchbox or when you went to a party, you had to sort of avoid the cake. Well, maybe your parents knew that if you had too much sugary stuff, you were just a handful, so they got rid of it.

Yeah, my best friend was a bit like that. Don't give her a Coke. Don't give her a Coca-Cola. And it would be in the movie cinema. My mum would forget and get us both a Coke and Jess would be sitting there like... Free Willy! Jump, you dumb whale!

All right, well, 0800DARLS.NM. Give us a call. You can text as well, 9696. What were you not allowed to eat as a kid our mum has been raging online after her son

was allowed to eat birthday cake at a birthday party and we've been so sad gather round happy birthday to you you're only singing

you're only singing to the cake you're not singing to the kid I hope you have that mouth singing full of cake you're singing

you're singing fast because you want to eat the cake. I know, it's the best part of the party. But yeah, mum obviously runs a no sugar household. She does. So we asked you, what weren't you allowed to eat as a kid? Fruit for yonks. You got me thinking. Do they still sell it?

I think so. I think they do roll ups. Maybe some sort of... Yeah, but there's Fruit Leather now and I think it's the... Fruit Leather is like the actual healthier version of what the roll-ups promised everybody they were in the late 90s. But, you know, you'd be eating those roll-ups

and you'd be snapping your silver fillings out. Oh, yeah, the teeth. It was a teeth tugger. It was a teeth tugger, the old roll-up. Someone messaged in... You find that? No. It says, I found a Facebook page, please bring back Fruit for Yongs.

Oh. And an article, the best 90s lunchbox snacks. Fruit for Yongs. Yeah. Without a doubt. Someone said, I wasn't allowed to eat sugar, but that was because I had undiagnosed ADHD as a child. And everyone just thought I was a little hyper on sugar, but it was all the time. Raw noodles, I got told off. I kept having bleeding mouth.

I'd always, you crush up the pack of the noodles, sprinkle got told off. I kept having bleeding mouth. I'd always, you crush up the pack of the noodles, sprinkle the flavour sachet, shake it around and then just be like, yum. You guys are mad.

And mum would always be like, don't you want to put some water on it? You'd be like, no, it'll ruin it. No. Alicia, what weren't you allowed

to eat as a kid? I wasn't allowed to eat anything with food colouring, any colouring, like cough medicine, anything. I remember this was a thing. For a while, parents got really scared of food colouring.

There was some food colourings. And certain ones. Orange had set me off. Red was real bad. There was a blue that was bad. Yeah, I just couldn't have anything with colour in it. It just made me go hypo. Wow.

Hypo. Hypo means hypo is the opposite of hyper. Ah. So you were hyper. I was going to say, I can't drink Red Cruises because I go crazy. I don't go crazy. Babe, you shouldn't be drinking them anyway. No one should be drinking Red Cruises.

Alicia, no one should be drinking Red Cruises. Do you want Alicia to graduate to red wine and do the same thing? No, because it's not colouring. It's the colour of the grapes, you basic. I'm not a red wine drinker. I'm more of a white. More of a white. Stick to the same.

More of a white. Right, okay. Alicia, thanks for your call. Lots of people's parents were just like, no. Someone said I got a piece of cake slapped out of my hand by my mum at a birthday party once. I got a slice and I snuck away to eat it. That is the saddest thing I've ever heard.

Oh, my God. It's gone full nostalgia in here. Late 80s, early 90s lunchbox snacks. We've found ads online for like the fruit for yonks. Remember raspberry and pineapple bubbly flavoured drinks in the cans? No. But I see those, which we never had. I don't know

we weren't allowed them or maybe they cost too much. And I raise you a pack of jolly drinks. Yeah! Those were a Christmas, absolute Christmas institution at the Smith Holmes Christmas. Casey, what weren't you allowed as a kid? I wasn't allowed Nutella.

No, you're not. Expensive, though? Expensive, but the worst thing was I messed it up for myself. So growing up, my parents never let me have anything. And then, like, you know, in terms of, like, tiny titties and, you know, little snacks and that sort of thing. And then as I got a little bit older, my parents broke up because my dad was a super strict one.

So mum's like, all right, okay, this might make my life a little bit easier if we, you know, get her into Nutella or, you know, something a bit more sugary like the other kids. And then I stuffed it up on the first week. I was getting, I was super hyper, getting it all over the tea towels. Mum was like, nah. It's done. You're super hyper and getting Nutella all over the tea towels.

How did you get Nutella on the tea towels? It's a pretty good effort. Thank you. Yeah, wow. Yeah, and that just does look like poos, doesn't it? Yeah. Casey, thanks for your call. Alana, what weren't you allowed to eat as a kid?

Raro. Nah. Yeah. That's bad news, isn't it? I loved it. Is it because you were dipping your finger in? That's exactly what it was. Yeah.

And you'd always get caught because you'd have an orange finger. Yeah. And your mum would be like, isn't there a sachet of Raro? Like you'd voted in a third world country's election. Yeah, yeah. When they dye your finger. You can't beat a bit of sweet navel Raro. No.

My flavour of choice was always raspberry, so my finger was always red. I love the raspberry Raro. Cheap as 15 grams of sugar per serving of Raro, per glass. Mum needs a such length as to go down to the dairy down the road and say, don't sell Alana any Raro. But I found a loophole and my friends would buy it. Wow. Amazing.

Because I remember mum switched to that, what's it, quench? Or something? Thrifty? Yeah, thrifty. Yeah. Yeah, and quench did a concentrate as well. Those were your two bigs. And then they did a no colour one.

Yeah. And I think it was like full of artificial sweetness. Yeah, but then you couldn't tell. You couldn't tell in that how strong it was because you could also judge a thrifty by the darkness of the colour. When colour got taken out of it, you'd just jack it up. You'd be trying to drink it and you're like. Alana, thanks for your call.

Some messages in. Biscuits. We weren't allowed to eat bought biscuits. Homemade was the only way. Mum was a home economics teacher. She said, you don't know what's in bought biscuits. But hey, if mum's going to make biscuits. Yeahmade was the only way. Mum was a home economics teacher. She said you don't know what's in bought biscuits. But hey, if mum's going to make biscuits, that's all good.

Shah, what weren't you allowed as a kid? Milo. Robbed. And especially when you try to eat it and then you don't want your mum to come and you hear her coming down the hallway and you're like, oh shit. And it was really sick back then. Yes. I don't want your mum to come, you hear her coming down the hallway, and you're like, oh, shit, and it was really sick back then.

Yes. I go, I don't want to get cold, quickly drink some milk, quickly sneak the water in, try and get it down before mum came back in. That wasn't allowed. We used to pile that on rice bubbles to make Coco Pops. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God, budget Coco Pops. Yeah, but super BoJack Cocoa Pop.

I've got some dating advice. As someone who hasn't been on a date probably ever. I went on one date. I mean, when I mean date, I mean like when you go dating. Yeah. And you like meet up with a stranger that you've maybe had a couple of conversations with and then you get to know each other for a date. I've never done that.

Went on one date with Aaron and I'm still on it. 11 years later. That's cute. He's the love of my life. But according... That had a real... Can you not eat breakfast

while we're on here? No one would have even noticed if you hadn't said anything. Hey, but before, how much was he complaining how hungry he was? I was so hungry. So this will just put an end to that.

I'm a big hungry boy. That had a real, when you sung that song, He's the Love of My Life, had a real Dawson's Creek intro. I don't want to wait. I don't want to wait. I don't want to wait till my life's over. Why am I waiting so long for a wedding? Anyway, if you're dating,

I don't know where that came out of. Yeah, that was quite angry. No, I'm not angry about it. Just hurt. Anyway. It's better to wait till the pandemic's over. Anyone that's had a wedding in the last year and a half, they'll tell you it's been hell. I know. Anyway, if

you're not, this is not a great way for people who are listening going like, give me the dating advice, me rubbing my 11 year relationship in your face because I'm just trying to plan a wedding. But a dating coach has given the three things that you need to be putting in your dating app profile. And this is aimed towards, I'd say Gen Zs, who are famously more authentic than we were online, who are all about

unfiltered photos and being up front. No capital letters. No, I don't know. Off air I was complaining that these millennials on their social media are not using capital letters and I tell you what, it rubs me the wrong way. No, Gen Z's millennials should be using capital letters. No, sorry, I'm a millennial. Gen Z's.

I'm a millennial. Gen Zs. Yeah. I'm a millennial. I respect the capital letter. Oh, yeah, absolutely. At the start of a sentence. Yeah. After a full stop. It's really doing your head in. Sharing a name.

Because you're dealing with people in your life that are not using capital letters, and it's not. Well, they have a purpose. They serve a purpose. Anyway, apparently, and what are they? Carween at the social media desk told me that capital letters are... Chuggy. Chuggy.

The word chuggy is kind of chuggy now. Yeah, I thought chuggy was chuggy now. Wait, is chuggy chuggy? Yeah, chuggy's chuggy. I'm so behind. Yeah. I'm so behind being chuggy that I don't even know chuggy's chuggy. What do they do after a full stop?

You just continue with the no capital letters. No, they don't use a full stop. They don't use a singular full stop. They either use three, 12, or none. Yeah. Or they do like a lot of full stops. Yeah. It's three.

The rule is three. Anyway, moving on. The rule is one or three. One or three. One ends the sentence. Three is like, I'll hang you a little bit longer here. Three things that you should be adding to your profile so that you

are coming across as more authentic. The first thing is a strong opinion. Oh, okay. Stuffing around. When they've given some examples of this, I'll say the opinions aren't that strong, but it's about saying, you're on this dating app

to find the right person. Let's not mess around here. A few examples. I get along best with early birds. I'm talking alarms going off before sunrise. If loving this is wrong, I don't want it to be right. Winter, definitely the best season. This person sounds like a psychopath. We're the same type of weird if you can't stand mayonnaise.

So you're coming out strong with a controversial stance on something. But also like a comical attempt at delivery. Yeah. But I thought when you said strong statement, something like about how you recycle or you care for the environment. Absolutely. If you don't drive an electric vehicle, don't pick it up. Yeah, exactly.

No, no. Winter is the best season. Meat is murder. Yeah. Number two, in your dating profile, your deepest boundaries and beliefs. So you're going to be, it's not trying to scare people off, but you're getting rid of the people that don't matter to you. If Christianity is the most important thing to you,

you probably need to put that in your profile. Right. So you don't have heathens getting in there. Chuck a couple of cross emojis in there. Absolutely. Let's get on the same page about, yeah, the importance of going to church on Sundays. Or if you want to have kids, you've got to put that in your profile.

So you're really being upfront, aren't you? Really being upfront. That's what it's all about, being authentic cutting to the chase maybe because people who are dating they're two years behind at the moment because of the pandemic and the third thing that you should have

on your dating profile is a goofy, embarrassing, unfiltered photo bleh one it could be your last one But what if that one photo is of such contrast To your filtered

Manicured other five photos Yeah I know That's going to be like oh Well I didn't realise all those chins Yeah how did you lose those chins Yeah well that just shows that you're You know like you're not precious. This is the real me.

Right. It's being authentic. So you're like, I'm a Christian loving, I'm a winter loving Christian. You got it. Match, match, match, match, match. They're going to come in hot. Yeah.

The bottom line, they say, your imperfect profile is perfectly you. A bit like how people are now, their Instagrams are messy. And that's kind of all the rage at the moment is having ugly gram. Blurred photos. I'm still giving my photos a little bit of a nip and a tuck.

No capital letters in the captions. How dare you. How dare you? Wow, today's silly little poll. Do you have a budget? This is where you would, I don't know, spreadsheet? Oh, yeah. People that love a budget. A little bit more than just an agreed upon spoken verbal budget.

Yeah. People do love a budget. Well, especially if you're saving for a house or you've got a saving goal to move overseas or something. And just even at the moment with inflation and everything costing so much more, it's kind of good to see where your money's going. Do you have a budget? 52% of people said yes. 48% said no.

I guess I kind of have a loose budget. Like every payday I'll just have money there for my spending and then put the rest away. Whereas you'll just online shop until it's gone. Shop until you drop. No, we're setting up a budget as we speak.

We've been working on it this week because we've always kind of gone without. You're just rocking it yourself. You've got some formatted cells in an Excel spreadsheet. Yeah, I've been making a spreadsheet. Do you know that you can make it auto add up? Oh, I know. I love auto add. That's amazing.

I'm an Excel queen. I absolutely love Excel. So we're doing that. Such a mystery. Because we're renovating this year and you can't renovate without. A budget. A budget. We've seen enough block episodes to know that.

I've seen the block blow the budget and I don't want to go there. They're spending somebody else's money too on that show. Not even their own. So do you have a budget? Kyra messaged saying, yes, I do have a budget, but I have never stuck to it. Yes. But then it's thought that counts.

Yeah. Budgets are like birthday cards. And you're probably spending less than if you didn't have a budget, right? That's a good way to justify it. Sure, sure. Sure you're doing a little bit. It's on the back of your mind. Kim Thatcher,

I can only assume is related to Margaret Thatcher who ran a very tight ship when it came to the budget. Oh, yes, she was a former British Prime Minister known for her austerity

and her iron fist. Iron fist, yeah. She'd slam it down. Love to do a budget. Yeah, right. Says the thatch. But she says, hate to stick to it, lol.

Yeah. So maybe, you know, the apple's fallen a little bit further from the old vatchetry there. Sophie said, because I get paid monthly, I do have a budget that's much harder to manage than fortnightly. Do you remember when we used to get paid monthly? I wouldn't handle it because you'd be like flush for a couple of days. Yeah, you'd live like a king for a few days. You used to live like a king. And then week four, I'd be on.

And then sometimes there'd be five weekends. Yeah. I remember when- With a monthly pay. We got paid monthly. Like the minute I got paid, the bank, I'd be like,

take it, quit, quit, quit. Take your part, take your part or it won't be there. Yes, yeah. Why haven't you taken it yet? It's a weekend, we can't take it. I said take the damn money. It's like being GST registered and it just sits in a separate side account

and sometimes, I don't know, you might just have to transfer a little bit over. Dip the toe into the GST account. Dip a little toe in, I'll top that up the next time. Leave that till the end of the financial year and a wild panic. I'm pretty sure the IRD they understand if you've been to the brewery for the weekend Oh they understand I had to take a couple of hundy off

Giselle says Yes my entire pay is the budget I live on So that sounds like she's not got a budget really She says she is budgeted She can only live on what she has Which I guess is the budget everybody sticks to. Vicky says, I've tried to budget, but then I see new things I don't need, but I want, and I can't say no to myself.

I've worked hard. Soul sister. It's my soul sister. Spending Man Rochelle said, there's an app on your phone called You Need a Budget App. It's great. She said it's the first time I've ever stuck to a budget.

Yeah, right. You must punch in what you got. My bank's got one of those like meter things. Oh, I don't need that. And you can like look at it and it's like you're spending too much based on how much

you've said you want to spend. Oh, yeah, because my bank had the pie graph and it kind of has a guess at what you're spending all your money on. Oh, dear. Was it a lot of pies?

Oh, it's just food. Yeah. Ours was just like food. I'm like, well, at least the pie graph is representing food. Yeah. I appreciate the poetry in that. Yeah. So, yeah, pretty much down the middle for the old,

do you have a budget or not? Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. A survey has asked people who has the most intense fandom out of musicians. You know, the people that just absolutely go in. Like at the moment, Kanye West's fans absolutely coming for Pete Davidson. He's had to quit social media. Does he have many fans left? Kanye.

He must be a ravenous. Yeah, they're super loyal. What does he call Pete Davidson? Skeet. Yeah. And then like Pete Davidson, Skeet. Gosh, I'm sounding older every day. Why does he call him Skeet?

I don't know. And Pete Davidson posted something very unrelated and then just like grrrr of Kanye West fans being like Skeet. Very mature. And threatening him. So he came off social media. So here's the list of artists with the most intense fans online.

Okay. People who just absolutely go in. At the bottom, number 10, Selena Gomez. Okay. Selena Gomez. Passionate fans. Yeah.

Number nine, Harry Styles. Okay. Are they kind of left over from... He's trying to chill them out a bit though. Yeah. He's just like, this is not one day anymore, any dudes, let's just chill.

Let's just pump the brakes. Let's not abuse woman that I'm bedding. No, exactly. Let's not have a go at people that, you know. Number eight is Drake. Okay. He's got some intense fans online. How have they worked this out just in terms of like...

Like, it's like how the people surveyed perceive their fans. Right. By like the amount of noise that fans make online about this artist. And how hard they'll like back them, support them, attack anyone who does them wrong

or sleeps with them or breaks their heart. Number seven, Olivia Rodrigo. Okay. She's in there with the big dogs. Number six is Adele. Obviously, people came in full support of her in the back of her divorce, and they're like, yes, new album.

Number five is Taylor Swift. Jake Gyllenhaal got it, didn't he? Yeah, I would have thought they would have been number one. Yeah, no, number five. Okay. Number four, and this is, I would have thought this would have been higher up given the year she's had, Britney.

People have absolutely been coming out. You know, they were protesting for her. They absolutely love her. Number three is Ariana Grande, which surprises me. She seems quite chill, quite quiet. Yeah, the fans are obsessive. Yeah. She can't control that.

Number two is Kanye. Okay. His fans are obsessive Yeah She can't control that Number two Is Kanye Okay His fans are Absolutely absurd And number one Is Beyonce Beyonce

I didn't think I thought she's got She's taken such a back seat But they're fanatic Like they just love her Anything she does They're like Our queen

And they're just Absolutely What was the clothing brand She did Ivy Park Right Oh my god It's amazing It's controversial To say her music Anything she does, they're like, our queen. Yeah. What was the clothing brand she did? Ivy Park, right? Oh, my God. It's amazing. Is it controversial to say her music hasn't been that great for a while now?

What? On this day. And my cats look like these number one. Wow. We heard they're the most obsessed fans. Why would you voice that opinion? Why would you say that? My name's Vaughn.

Vaughn at ZM Online. I'm a fan of Fletcher hates Beyonce. Where's BTS on the list? I know, they're not on here, which is absurd. Their fans go into bat for them at any moment. I'm really surprised they're not on the list. Yeah, same. If you look at these,

these are people who have had a little bit of drama. Yeah. Whereas BTS, they stay out of the drama. They're drama free, aren't drama. They're drama free. They're all about the music. But their fans will go and support them. So it's like they've had pregnancies. They've had cheating scandals.

Becky with the good hair, you know. Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal. Britney Spears and her conservatorship. They've all had some drama. And when there's drama these intense fans come out and support their queens and kings. We haven't, yeah, one more hour, mate. We haven't really talked too much about the Kanye West search.

That is just like going crazy. I'm not, I don't like it. What? I don't like it. The Kanye drama. The whole thing about it is that he's pretty much like tormenting his ex-wife and a guy who's done nothing wrong in front of the whole world. It has 100% been very entertaining to start,

and now people are like, this is an example of so many things that are wrong with abusive men. I saw a tweet yesterday that summed it up amazingly. It was like, if one of the world's most powerful and richest woman can't leave her husband without being abused emotionally and mentally, how is anybody going to leave an abusive partner? Yeah. And I was just like, that amazingly sums it up because he is.

He's like, wouldn't he release a video this week and it had some Pete Davidson lookalike being buried alive or something? Yeah, yeah. That's crazy, man. Oh, I know. And he was saying like art is therapy. And you're like, yeah. That's crazy, man. Oh, I know. And he was saying like, art is therapy. And you're like,

yeah, but your platform is planet Earth. Yeah. It's not an Instagram with 100 followers. No, it's not. And it's not like if art is therapy, like get a canvas and the privacy of your own home. Yeah.

Anyway, moving on from that, he dated a model for a while whose name I've already forgotten. Julia Fox. Julia Fox. Julia Fox, thank you. The actress, the one that went I was so and so's muse and he was making nyankajams. Yeah.

That's right. That was my favourite video for about a week. Nyankajams. And then they split up and she sort of admitted that it was all a publicity thing and now instantly he's got a new girlfriend. Her name is Chaney Jones. And he posted a photo of them together. And everyone was like, huh.

She looks exactly like Kim Kardashian. Kim Kardashian. Just a little side by side for the room. Chaney Jones, Kim K. If you're an evil dictator, by side for the room. Chaney Jones. Like. Kim K. If you're an evil dictator, that would be the perfect body double. Honestly.

Absolutely. A great body double. And perhaps when this relationship is over, Kim could reach out and be like, I get a lot of attacks. I'll pay you a lot of money to be my double. If you could just go to some events. Yeah. But yeah, people were, it's like instant.

And it's not just like they've both got long black hair or they both have a tiny waist and a big booty. Like they just look like the exact same person. And you can't help but sort of imagine he's doing it to like get the attention for the fact that he so wants to stay with Kim that he's just got a new Kim. It's quite funny. It makes me laugh.

It's one of the funniest sides of this Kanye debacle. And so we wanted to ask you, did your ex replace you with her? With you. With you. Did your ex get a new you? Yeah, how similar was your ex's new partner to you? Like maybe they were both into the same hobby.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Or they were better at it than you. Imagine if Aaron left me for a marching girl. I mean, you know, something so obscure that you'd be like, that's pointed. Or another TV host. Imagine if Aaron left me for Mel Bracewell. What?

Or Hayley Holt. Yeah. Because there's Hayley and she's on TV. Oh my God, he just wouldn't have to and she's on TV. Oh, my God. He just wouldn't have to adjust his life at all. No, he just wouldn't have to change when people ask him what his partner did. When she left the house, he'd be like, good luck on TV, Hayley. That still works.

That still works. Absolutely. But people do because they have that type, don't they, as well? They have an absolute type. A girl I was seeing stop saying man status saying a guy called Sean. Oh, wow Sean Tell me Sean and Vaughn Tell me she doesn't have

A thing for guys Whose names rhyme with Orn Orn She's like I just have a thing for orns Yeah I hope there's a

Gorn out there For me to take What about What about rugby players Yes Oh I've got a friend Who's absolutely worked A way through the race

Did your partner, did your ex, oh my God, my friend's going to be like, Hayley! Did your ex replace you with almost a very similar version of yourself? Yeah, even looks wise.

So we want to know, when you've been replaced and your ex has got someone exactly the same as you. Like Kanye West has replaced Kim K with an absolute Kim K lookalike. And it's tickling me. It's tickling me. Somebody messaged in, I've dated three Mats.

All Mats have been six foot tall with dark hair. My current partner Matt And I are going on six years I blame parents lack of name variety at that time of the generation Do these mats all look the same? Big boys

Well they're big boys with dark hair Big mats, she loves a big mat My ex dated someone. Get a bit of Big Matt sauce. Yeah, the special. The special sauce. Special sauce from Big Matt. That's what keeps you coming back.

Show sponsor McDonald's also provides you with Big Mac sauce. Yeah. Big Mac for Big Matt. Yeah. Seamless plug there for the sponsor. That's all right. Mark that one down. That's a freebie.

They can hold that one today. That was absolutely seamless. Do my part for the company, you know? Keep that cash flowing in, you know what I'm saying? My ex dated someone that looked a lot like me. She even had the same name as I do. Oh, wow. So they looked like them.

And had the same name. Yeah. I started dating a girl, and she told me her two previous partners had been quite dumb. Okay. And then after we broke up, she's been out with three more guys that are quite well known for being dumb. So does that make me dumb? I'm not trying to think too hard about it. Don't think too hard.

You'll hurt your pretty lid. Yeah. You big old dumb dumb. You just be pretty. You just be gorgeous, babe. Yeah, that's the thing with a dumb but with a pretty. And that's enough sometimes. Yeah.

All right. We'll keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 DARS at M to give us a call. Did your ex replace you with an absolute lookalike? All right, Miley, Midnight Sky and ZM. Talking now, though, about when you've been replaced by a lookalike or someone very similar to yourself. Yeah, your ex moved on and just went, I'll just do that again.

Carbon copy. The same one again. Yeah. So many people on and just went, I'll just do that again. Carbon copy. The same one again. Yeah. So many people are dealing with this in their lives. So many of them. My ex left me

because I started going out with a guy same height, same build, same facial hair, same haircut and even same career path. Wow.

Oh. What did he have then that you didn't? What are you indicating there? He bought them sandwiches? It might have been, yeah, sandwiches. Big sandwich guy. Big sandwiches. Big Subway fan. Long sandwiches. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

Loves the spicy meatballs. So... Sometimes they just give you the five inches because they haven't... The other person gets seven. I often think there should be a thing at Subway where they sit the sandwich, the bread in, and then, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So it's always exactly halfway. Don't I shoot it for me. A bread tin with a slit in it, and then it goes like that. Like a magician's... Because sometimes you get an extra inch, or you lose an inch. I feel like I'm always getting shortchanged at Subway. I'm always getting the five.

Always getting shortchanged. Well, that could have been the issue. I know. That could have been the issue. Shania, were you replaced with a Shania 2.0? So my baby daddy got a new partner a while ago. They're not together anymore. But I went to go pick up my daughter one day from their place.

But she already had like medium-length brown hair like me and tattoos up her arms like me. And yeah, I went to go pick up my daughter from them one day and she was wearing the exact same jeans as me from Glassons. The exact same necklace from Pandora. And the same colour top. Wow. Okay, so he's got a type then.

Oh, yeah. Do you think he popped out down to Glassons and was like, this looks cute, babe. Put this on. This is a nice colour on you. He already knew. Oh, gosh. I hope not.

And Shania, did you say, so you think you can copy my style? Well, that don't impress a me much. Shania, I'm sorry. Does this happen a lot, Shania? Yep. All the time.

I would constantly be Shania Twain-ing you all the time. Yeah. You'd be like, hey, look, I did this at work today and I'd be like, that don't impress me much. Shania, thank you. Some other messages.

I'm a nurse. My ex replaced me with another nurse. He always said I was on the wrong career, shift work, poor pay, never earned triple figures, et cetera.

Never supported the work nurses do. Joke's on him. So I'm earning good money now and I know she's not. So we're just a person in charge of payroll. Yeah on him. So I'm earning good money now and I know she's not. So we're just a person in charge of payroll.

Yeah. Yeah. Person in charge of payroll now. Other people who have been broken up with and then their partner got with somebody who is pretty much them again. My name is Brooke. I'm super tall, long brown hair and glasses. My ex literally got with another Brooke, super tall, long brown hair with glasses. I felt like I was in the Matrix.

Wow. You're not going to yell out the wrong name, are you? No, you wouldn't. Well, that's the thing about sticking to brooks. Thank God. But it does sound sometimes when you're making love that you're a chicken. Brook! Brook!

Brook! Brook! Brook! Brook! Brook! Brook! Brook! Brook! Brook! Brook! Brook! Brook! Brook! Brook Brooke! Brooke! Brooke! Brooke!

Brooke! Brooke! Brooke! Brooke! Brooke! Brooke! Brooke! Brooke!

Brooke! And then if you've got like, because Brooke is also a unisex name. Yeah, that is. That could be for guys or girls. So you could have like two Brooks. Change your heart rate in life. Oh, sorry. I was going in a different direction.

I was just saying two Brooks. Yeah. Oh, Brooke. Brooke. Brooke. Brooke. Yeah. Oh, brook, brook. Brook, brook. Okay. Brook. You painted the picture. Yeah, it sounds like

the morning lay, you know, at the local hen house. Lots of people. Okay, so this is cheating because of course they look like them because they dated their twin.

How did that go down between the twins? I don't know. I mean, Christmas wouldn't change much. The secret Santa. You could still get them. Yeah. You could totally still get them.

One of my best friends replaced her ex with an exact replica. She broke up with him. She was an absolute goddess. And so then he was just like, well, I've got to get one that looks exactly the same. Yeah. So obviously very much enjoyed the look, had the aesthetic. My partner dated a, my ex-husband dated a spitting, spitting image of me. He even broke into my house to steal my clothes for her to wear and it turns out they fit perfect.

What? That's a wild story. What? How do you know? Did you see her in it? in it and you're like okay is that what i look like because that looks good wow wow good my partner's ex and myself both have short blonde uh are both short blonde girls that work in accounting we also have names that start with sh so we always say the jokes that... Shania. It's actually Shania. Sheree. Sheree.

Chanel. Sharon. Shira. Shelly. Shamara. Shelly is a name on its own. Yeah. So now we say he's got a type.

His type are Sh-countants. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. Hey, you on the phone, I bet I can guess your mum's name. And we're joined this morning by Katie. Good morning, Katie. Hi, how are you? Good.

Welcome to I Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name. Vaughn will now ask you five questions about your mum and then have 15 seconds to try and guess her name. Hi, Katie. Hi. Hello. I'm just getting on your vibe. I'm just doing a vibe check on Katie's vibes. Okay, question one. What is your mother's age? I'm just getting on your vibe. I'm just doing a vibe check. Katie's vibes. Okay.

Question one. What is your mother's age? How old is your dear mother? She turns 65 in like three days. Oh. Going to get that sweet pension. Yeah. She gets her gold card.

Yeah. She'll be getting ferries and buses all over the show. Yeah. To rub it in our faces that she buses all over the show. Oh, yeah. To rub it in our faces that she's not paying. Crazy, crazy. 65. All right.

What petrol station does your mum use? She drives the motorbike, so very sporadically she goes to the petrol station. What? I'm a motorbiker. What?

Holy. That tells me more than the petrol station question. Who was in Sons of... Piggy. Yeah. I'm going to put Piggy. Piggy. Piggy Bundy.

Piggy Bundy who was in Sons of Anarchy. No, Piggy Bundy's real name is Katie Seagal. Yeah, Katie. But she's called Katie. Oh, yeah. So her mum's not going to be called Katie. But what was her name in Sons of Anarchy? I can't remember.

I don't know. I don't Google during the process. Yeah. Fair enough. Wow, biker chick. That's cool, Katie. Yeah. Sharon.

Sharon. Something like a Sharon. What are some classic like Sharons and Tracys? Some petrolhead names. Yeah, Trace. Trace. Callie. No, Callie's not really a 65 year old name

No No is it? Joe Joe Joe's on the bike Heather Yeah Heather's got a bike Heather maybe

Heather on the Harley Trish on the Triumph Yeah Is this how you're working it out? Huh? Is this how you're working it out? Just getting some of the names from this one What are some other brands of motorbikes?

Vespa Vespa's a brands of motorbikes? Vespa. Vespa's a scooter, but yep, Vanessa on the Vespa. Vanessa, that would be a good one. What about your standards, your Christine's? I can't imagine my mother. Karen, I've already got Karen. I can't imagine Christine on them. My mother does not have time for motorbikes.

What about even the farm? But that doesn't speak for everybody. She does the farm. She's on the farm four by four. I'll put Christine. I'm going to put... I always wonder at this point,

you know, if you've already said the name and then Katie's just on the phone answering stupid questions. This has only happened once when I've been playing it.

I was going through the names and I said the name and she was like, yeah, that's it. She was new. She was new to the game. She'd never played. New to listening.

She didn't know. Playing it very cool, Katie. Okay. What was the last thing your mum got mad about? Oh. I wonder if your mum was just like, oh, bloody hell. It can be any level of mad frustration right up to rage. Oh, that's a good question.

I mean, she does get mad a lot, but I can't think of any specifics. Probably something Dad did. She's mad she didn't test positive and my Dad did. Oh, really? Well, she wanted some time off, did she? Yeah.

She wanted to sync up with Dad. Yeah, okay. They're not kissing hard enough. And she's working. Oh, God. Dad says positive for COVID, I don't want to sync up with Dad. Yeah, okay. They're not kissing harder. I hate that fishing and she's working. Oh, God. Yeah. Dad's supposed to forgive us. I don't want to. I don't want to.

I love fishing. Well, let's hope he comes back, eh? Don't laugh at that. I mean, I'm glad you laughed at it because if you hadn't, then it could have been awkward. Could have been. What was Mum's wedding like

very 80s she had the big hair and the big blue fedress and everything yeah very 80s probably sultanas

in the salad too sure that's what they did in the 80s they put sultanas in salads and peas and peas

in a garden salad. And mint. Have you got a Trish in there? Oh, yeah, that's a good one. Trish from the Triumph. Remember Trish from the Triumph? You've got a Stacey. I had a real 80s vibe there.

I'll put Diana. You've got a Marg? I haven't got a Marg. I might put a Marg in there. A Marg down there. A Margaret Marg. Yeah. Marg.

Who was the other? Sarah. Do I have a Sarah? I don't have a Sarah I'll put a Sarah Janine Have you got a Janine No Janine

But I'll happily put it You can chuck a Janine down too Yeah I was going to say Janice But I think Janine's I might chuck a Janice In there too Because you don't want to be that close And not hit the nail on the head

Yeah I might put a Yeah And a I might put a Coll Yeah. Mm-hmm. And a... I might put a Colleen. Oh, okay. Yeah, good, good.

Oh, yeah, Colleen's got the big hair. Huge. I can imagine Colleen with a big perm on the motorcycle. And a fringe. And a wispy fringe. Yeah, yeah. Colleen had one of those at-home curler sets where she put the curler in and then sat over that at-home hairdryer thing that looked like a top half of an egg.

Yeah. And it went... That's of an egg. Absolutely. And it went, whoosh. That's so Colleen. Yep. And while she was doing it, she read the woman's magazines. Yep. Okay.

Okay, I got Colleen there. Last question. What's mum's favourite chocolate bar? Just dark chocolate. Like, really dark chocolate of any kind Garner Really? Yeah Why because that's like the healthy chocolate?

Or is it because she's a smoker And she can't taste anymore You know No I've never been a smoker But I think it's because she pretends that it's healthy Yeah right Less sugar Yeah

She'd be a margarine mum too wouldn't she? Yeah She's off the time You can't hold that against her She's off the time Yeah, right. Less sugar. She'd be a margarine mum too, wouldn't she? Yeah. She's off the time. You can't hold that against her. She's off the time. I might put Elisa on the list. Oh, okay. You're going to Elisa?

It's Elisa. I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't, but sure. Yeah, that feels like a wasted, but that's all right. It's at the end of the list. It's chicken on the end there. Hey, you've got a big list. You're going to have to go quick, Vaughn.

Did I have a Donna? No, I had a Diana. I didn't have a Donna. Oh, you've got a Diana. That's good. You can't to have to go quick, Vaughn. Did I have a Donna? No, I had a Diana. I didn't have a Donna. Oh, you got a Donna. That's good. You can't put a Donna on there. Now, Katie, Vaughn will have 15 seconds to try and guess your mum's name. If you hear your mum's name, yell out, stop. That's my mum's name. Vaughn,

your time starts now. Helen, Peggy, Sharon, Tracy, Jo, Heather, Trish, Vanessa, Marg, Diana, Beverly, Cherie, Karen, Christine, Sarah, Janine, Robin, Jangy, Sharon, Tracy, Joe, Heather, Trish, Vanessa, Marg, Diana, Beverly, Cherie, Karen, Christine, Sarah, Janine, Robin, Janice, Gaye, Colin. Are you kidding me? Is it Janice?

Which one? No, Robin. Robin! Robin on the bike! Robin on the motorbike? Yeah. Robin on the motorbike. Bloody furious.

Dad's various escapades. I'm a racy robin. And when she got married, she had big old hair. Wow. All right, well. Bonus round. While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name. We're locking in that $100 prize.

You've won that, Katie. Yay. Yay. Vaughn has another chance. And today, the bonus round is a little bit different because it is International Women's Day. Yeah, we're not doing dad. We're doing grandma.

Now, which grandma? Would this be? Well, that is the one thing I probably would need to know. Is this mum's mum or dad's mum? Yeah, mum's mum. Mum's mum. Say it with the same line. Okay, say it with the same line. Mum's mum or dad's mum? Yeah, mum's mum. Mum's mum. Say it with the same line. Okay, say it with the same line.

Mum's mum. Well, see, my mother-in-law, her name's Robin. She was what led me to the word. Same Robin, right. The name Robin. Okay. Is mum's mum still with us, Katie? No.

Oh, RIP. No, it's fine. She's a bit of a bitch. It's fine. She's a bitch. I clue. A clue. Are you going to be welcome back at any family event from here on out? Out for the fact that your dad's...

Everyone knew it. Out for everyone knew it. Wow. I was coming around. Okay. Robin's mum was a bitch. Robin. Why, yeah.

It'll be... Ethel. It'll be an Ethel. Fran. Frida. Francesca. Ph, yeah. It'll be... Ethel. It'll be an Ethel. Fran. Freda. Francesca. Phyllis. I'm just thinking sort of generational.

Oh, yeah. And Elizabeth. Maud. Or you could go your classic, like your Margaret's. Could be a Margaret. You know, your Elizabeth. Yeah, yeah. I was thinking your royal names.

Liz, yeah. Liz is your names that aren't around as much anymore. Then you said, and I thought, Frida. Frida. I don't. I think that's too left field. It's too left field. Oh, Biddy.

Biddy. Oh, yeah. Biddy the Bick. Biddy the Bick. That Biddy is a real head. Okay. It might have been Elizabeth, but she went by Betty the entire time. Are you going to lock that in then? Yep.

You're feeling the Betty? Yeah, yeah, I'm feeling Betty. Okay. I'm feeling Betty. Katie, what was your mum's mum's name? No, it was Velma. Velma! She left next daughter Betty!

Velva and Betty! The Flintstones! Betty Rubble! I would never have guessed Velma. Velma and Betty. The Flintstones. Betty Rubble. I would never have guessed Velma. Velma. Velma. No, she was. Velma.

You're saying Velma, right? Velma, yeah. Not Velma and not Velma in between. Ah. Velma. Yeah. Velma. Like German, German Velma.

German. Was she German? No, just regular Kiwi. Oh, okay. Wow. Was she German? No, just regular Kiwi. Oh, okay. Wow. Was she German? No, she was a bit. That's what she said when she left.

That's what she told everybody when she left Germany at the end of the war. Yeah, suspiciously in 1945. That would make a lot of sense, actually. It is a good Kiwi name. Katie, well done. We didn't manage to guess Grandma's name, but we did get Mum's name. Vaughan, victorious again, $100 is all yours. Well done.

And I don't think we've ever had such a visual of it. I can guess your mum's name. Everyone now is just imagining Robin just absolutely like hooting a dark chocolate energy bar at the petrol station while she's filling up her motorbike. And then she's just like, rum, rum, that bastard's out fishing with COVID nodding. Rum, rum, rum. Down the road, hair just, and the wind. It's good stuff. It's good stuff.

Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. There's been a study in the UK that has shown that we don't know what the lights in our dashboard mean, mostly. Especially young people, they feared even worse. But only one third of people could identify the handbrake light. Only 51%. The handbrake light. I know that one.

It's got an exclamation mark and it's in a triangle normally, eh? Nope. That's got an exclamation mark and it's in a triangle normally, eh? Nope. That's the hazard lights. No, what's the handbrake? There's a P and a circle with two brackets holding the... No, no, no, the handbrake is an exclamation mark. Not in any car I've ever driven. In every car I've ever driven.

If you've got the handbrake on and you're driving, it's like you've got the handbrake on. Well, I've never done that. Your car is telling you in addition to the P that comes up with the circle around it. That's a park. That's park. That's park. Look, park's down there.

P for park, but when you put the handbrake on, it's a P. Put Vaughan in this stat. He doesn't know what that means. You're absolutely wrong on that one. Park brake! No, but your handbrake is the exclamation mark. 100%. When you go downstairs to the chimney, you'll go...

I thought the exclamation mark in a triangle was the hazard lights. 18 to 24-year-olds knew on average just 32% of the symbols. What's happened? You hurt your breast. I had a shooting pain through my left breast. Oh, I don't like hearing that. It seems I took my breath away. No, I think it's like I ate some onions yesterday.

Yeah! Ha! Ha-ha! Look, look, look at what Fletcher's got. It's a peonacircle with the two brackets on the side. Yeah, that thing was a peonacircle. Yeah, but most of them are an exclamation mark. This exclamation mark most likely means you've left the handbrake on.

Stupid toilet head. If it stays on after the handbrake is released, it could mean a fault. Anyway, so I'm going to put you to the test since you're so confident. I'm going to say you failed that one. I won't. Right. How many people did you say don't know? Two thirds of people.

Oh, wow. Okay. Two thirds of people. Wow, that's a lot. On average across. They can guess your easy wow. Okay. Two thirds of people. Wow, that's a lot. On average across. They can guess your easy ones. Okay. All right.

What does this symbol mean? Well, I think for the radio, Hayley, you should... Oh, do a little describe? Like, show us the symbol, but also for people listening, maybe describe it. It's like a little thermometer with a three prong. But also in your description of saying it looks like a thermometer, you've given away what it is. No, it's some squiggly waves on the bottom.

I'm trying to be easy here. It's your water temperature. Yeah, that means your radiated water temperature. Your water temperature. Or you're about to tell us it's the oil temperature. No, it's your engine temperature. Just engine on a whole. Engine on a whole. Which is cooled by the water, so I would take the water as the...

No, I'd say that's wrong. The wiggly water at the bottom. So what does that mean we should do that one? on a hole. Engine on a hole. Which is cooled by the water so I would take the water as the... No, I'd say that's wrong. But the wiggly water at the bottom. So what does that mean we should do that one? It means your engine's coolant system is overheating. Okay, you can get the water. Because modern cars... And the radiator. And that green gunk. By the time this light comes on,

you should pull over as soon as safely possible and stop the engine to let it cool down. It's the engine that's hot. So are we giving Vaughn a point for that one? No, I'm not giving him that one. Oh. Jesus. Okay, we're running an auto-shope over here, are we?

We have a little canister, a little mini canister. Oil pressure. With a droplet. Your oil pressure's up the bung. You need more oil. That means you need oil, that one. Your engine has lost oil pressure. Correctamundo.

And that's due to lack of oil. Yes. Yay. I don't need that. I don't need that. You don't need to say correct and play the correct sound effect. It's a real problem I've got with this. No, I'm going to say correct and I want it followed up.

I don't want the sound effect. Am I being quizzed? You were correct. Next one is the exclamation mark, which he got wrong, so we'll give that. But if you showed me that, I would have said park brake. Moving on to the next one. Here's one that's been on in my car for, I want to say, quite a few months, and it's not even one.

Oh, airbag. No, you've got a Swiss ball on you. Faulty airbag. It's so flat. I'm sorry, you're wrong. Don't, don't, don't, don't. We don't need them. No.

That one's particularly grating. Hayley said I was incorrect, so I have to play that. That's a horrible sound effect. This light here is a person in a seat with a seatbelt on and a big ball on top of them. Your guess was a fault in the airbags.

Didn't need it. I took away my I said correct. I'd rather have your dulcet tones telling me I'm correct than that. This would be Vaughn watching the chase. No, Bradley Walsh would say correct next. Silence. No.

The sound effects make it exciting. Yeah, but the sound effects on the chase are so much better than the budget ones you've got. If you get a good chase sound effect. What, did Vaughn get one wrong? No, here's the next one. Check engine. Lots ones you've got. If you get a good chase sound effect. Did Vaughan get one wrong? No, here's the next one. Check engine. Lots of squiggly lines. Sort of in a similar shape of an engine. It looks like a map. There is a fault in your engine.

Yeah, engine fault. And they don't know that could be anything too. They plug a thing into your car and it'll tell it. So Vaughan, he is correct. If that comes on, it could be a minor issue but it also could be a major one. Pull over. It literally could be anything.

It could be anything. Okay, here's one. You could have a hippopotamus in there. There's a car that's done some burnouts. Traction control. It's got squiggly. Correct. Oh, good from you.

That's traction control. If it's flashing while you're driving, it should be doing that. It's working. But if it stays on, there's a fault in the system. Yeah, the Jiminy loves a bit of that when you go around a corner a little too quick. I've talked to other Jiminy owners about it. It does give you a little bit of a hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't like this one because it's like. Okay, here's your final one. Yeah. Abs. That comes on, you don't have any. It comes on to be like, where those abs at? I thought you said abs by Jan and it's March.

Abs in a circle with another mini circle around it. ABS brakes. You better say ASB Bank. ASB Bank. You can't just say the acronym back to me. What does it mean? The faulting. Anti-lock braking system is having a fault.

Oh, my God. He's correct. He's good. He's good over here. What a car boy, eh? So you slam on your brakes and rather than the wheels just locking, you're being like... A little car boy.

Okay. Well, you got one right off air. Or did you say that on air? That the left, the green ticking light arrow means you're turning left. Or you did turn left and you completely forgot to turn it off and you've got the radio loud so you can't hear it still ticking. If you're in your car right now. Yeah.

If everybody could just check that you don't have your indicators on, that'd be great. Just a little service. I always toot behind them. I'm just like, I just want to get them attention so they can go, what's wrong?

What's happening? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day in Wisconsin, in America, children of any age, people of any age, are allowed to consume alcohol legally in restaurants if they're in the presence of a parent or legal guardian. So you could be at your fifth birthday. Yeah, dad's like, I want a vodka. Yeah, I want a vodka, dad. Really?

That's wild. I maybe missed remembering this or maybe we were just living in a different time, but I had a beer at a restaurant with my granddad when I was underage. How old? Like 16? Oh, okay. Well, that's not. I think so too. And I remember being like, but because you're with your parents, it was okay. I think that was a thing here. I think that was a thing here if you were

dining with parents, but not any age. If you are under 18 years old and with a legal parent or guardian, you can drink alcohol in a supervised area where meals are served, such as a restaurant or a family lounge bar, but only if it is provided to you by the parent or guardian with you. Is that New Zealand? If you're under 18 years old. That's all it says under alcohol laws and penalties on the New Zealand Police website. Surely it's from like 15 up or something.

Like, I mean, you will be frowned upon if you're buying your your primary school aged child a mojito a mojito i know entry level rum i was thinking a shandy why are you giving how good rum how good was a shandy oh my god a kid there's there was there was there was no better introduction to white chocolate you got the sugary sprite hit hit. Yes. But then you also got that just that half beer. A little buzz of a beer. Yeah. Of a half beer. Mmm. A little light,

like a little light beer. There's gotta be a, there's gotta be a cut off. Now, if you're under 18 years old and with a legal period of guardian, you can't enter a restricted area on any licensed premises

or buy alcohol in the supervised area. But if you are, you couldn't go clubbing afterwards. No, no, no, no, you couldn't go clubbing afterwards. No, no, no, no. You couldn't go clubbing. You have to get OTP at Valentine's, I guess. Yeah, right.

Or the local restaurant's family bar. You can drink alcohol in a supervised area where meals are served. Only if it is provided by a parent or guardian that is currently with you. That is from the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act in 2012. There I was thinking Wisconsin was all la-di-da. Yeah, liberally doodly.

There you go. I do remember correctly. Yeah. Crazy. I think maybe when I was like 16 and my parents were already like, well, she's doing it on the weekends. If we go to dinner. We've lost all control.

We've lost all control. She's absolutely spiralling. I'd have a glass of wine with them at dinner. Not at home, but like it was a special occasion out. Not like every night. spiralling. I'd have a glass of wine with him at dinner. Not at home, but like it was a special occasion out. Not like every night. Oh, yeah, crack it open, Craig. What, you go back there, Craig, and you have that pin on her?

Oh, yeah, what year is it? Oh, bloody lovely. You're not allowed any wine until you've finished your homework. You know your mothers. Oh, I'm nearly done. Yeah, well, get done, and then I'll pour you what I would call a very generous pour. Oh, Hayley's late for school, so why don't you just hang over again? Oh, sorry about that.

She's got an absolute rager of a headache. Thanks. Your note from your parents to excuse your lateness is apologies for Hayley's tardiness. Things really kicked off last night. Yeah. She got her homework done and we cracked open a couple of bottles of peanut. So, well, I'm just going to put it as New Zealand then. I'm changing it from Wisconsin.

Because today's fact of the day is if you are under 18 years old and with a legal parent or guardian in New Zealand, you are able to drink alcohol in a supervised area where meals are served. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. A clinical psychologist called Kathy Nickerson. And I really like the sound of her name. G'day, Kathy Nickerson.

She's got more than her fish share of Ks in that name. She does. She does indeed. PhD. She's looked into jealousy and friendships. I think we often talk about jealousy in, like, romantic relationships. You know, your man's talking to another girl and you get all jealous about it. But we talk less so about jealousy in friendships,

which can happen for a variety of reasons. What they think it comes down to a lot of the time is the person that's feeling jealous has some kind of feeling a bit threatened. Maybe they're feeling a bit insecure, a bit unstable in their friendship. Or you might look on Instagram and see like one of your best friends having a right old time with someone new.

Someone else, yeah. And best friend-ish. This was very like, reminds me of high school a bit. You know, where like friend groups would shop and change and you were flavour of the month here. I was lucky I grew up, I met my best friend when I was three. And we're still best friends. And so that's never been any kind of question. That she's my one.

You know when people... That's rare. That's rare. She's my one. You know when people... That's rare. That's rare. Very rare. You've been young and hanging there that long. We both said it. Was there ever a tiff falling out? There was a tiff two weeks.

No. No. Jeez, it was longer. It was like a month. And then because we... Was it over? Was it over? We can't even remember.

This is when we were like 11 years old. And because we were such good friends, our parents got involved. Our mothers got on the phone. They were like, we need to sort Jess and Hayley out. Oh, so they weren't blaming each other? No, no, no, no. They were like, let's sort this out.

No, they just banged our heads together and said, sort it out. You're too good. Sort it out, you two. Yeah. But we always said that when, like at our weddings, you know how they look in the eye of their husband-to-be and they go like, you're my best friend. We don't say that.

We won't say that because they're not my best friend. Aaron is not my best friend. Jess is my best friend. You know what I mean? But Aaron's your best man-man best friend. No don't say that. We won't say that. Because they're not my best friend. Aaron is not my best friend. Jess is my best friend. You know what I mean? But Aaron's your best man, man, best friend. No, he's not. Okay, yeah. He's my boyfriend.

I'm not going to beat around the bush. Okay, so what if... Why don't you marry Jess? Yeah. Well, we said we would if we got to 30 and we weren't married. I got to 30 not married. She got married at 30. She up, she out.

She was like, you're going to hurry up and do this because I don't want to. She was like, come on, Mary Sproul. Yeah, yeah. I got to 30 not married. She got married at 30. She was like, you're going to hurry up and do this because I don't want to. She was like, come on, Mary Sproul. Yeah, yeah. We just missed out. Right.

But what if your best friend got another, like started hanging out with someone and you saw on Instagram they were having a good old time? Yeah, it stings a bit. Yeah. It stings a bit.

And I get jealous, especially if they were really close and they're like, oh, they're doing everything together. And oh, we talk about everything. Because there's Jess that live in Wellington? Yes. Oh my God, so distance.

You can't be there. Yeah, no, but our friendship is so strong. Yeah, no, I know it's strong, but I'm just saying. I've literally got a J tattoo. We got tattoos. We did that. What? With those people.

Where is this tattoo? Sort of like on my hip bone. Right in there, isn't it? You've got a J, just a J. Yeah, and she's got an H. I know. So it's hard for me to relate to this jealousy. At least her hip bone, she can be like

where my hip is. You're like a jip. Jutting out. Jugular. Could we take some calls on those times when there's been friendship jealousy. Yeah. Jugular. Right. Well, could we take some calls on those times when there's been like friendship jealousy? Yeah. And like what was it over?

What caused it? Maybe your best friend got a new best friend or... Yeah, or like... They might not even have been a tier one. Yeah. They could have been a tier two. Well, maybe you were like, maybe it was news to you and you were going to be like in their bridal party

and you're like, well, I'm number one. You know, I'm next to the bride. I'm maid of honour. And then they're like, no, no, babe, you're four down the line. Yeah, we need some strength at the other end of the line. Yeah, it's a height issue. We'll pop you down the end. Talking about friendship jealousy.

Yeah, when you've looked at a friend and got jealous because they've got a new friend and you're feeling like, I'm the friend. You're all insecure about it. Surely I'm ahead of them. Yeah, where am I in the ranking? Do you remember when you were a kid and you used to rank your friends? You'd write down a list?

No. And you'd be like, number one. I don't think it was a thing guys did as much as girls. Girls definitely did. And then when you'd have a fight, you'd be like, you know what, Astrid? Astrid. You're moving down to number seven.

Very MySpace. Who's taking my spot? No, was it Bebo? MySpace're moving down to number seven. Very MySpace. Who's taking my spot? No, was it Bebo? MySpace was your top ten. MySpace was top eight. Yeah, your top eight. Yeah. I left Tom at number one just to solve any arguments.

Tom from MySpace. He was always my number one. Always a safe bet to do that. Yeah. Put celebs in your top. Big dog top friend. Yeah. Kate, when did you have some drama over some best friends?

Kate? Oh, sorry, hello. Hi, Kate. When did you suffer from some friendship jealousy? So I introduced my best friend to my school friends because she didn't go to the same school as us. And they all ended up ditching me at New Year's Eve, not coming to my party and going somewhere else

and not telling me. Oh, my God! Did you call them out? Were you like, excuse me? Yeah, I did. I was messaging them, like, pretty much the whole night, being like, hey, are you guys coming to my house or not? And they just didn't answer.

So I was just like, okay. I see where I stand and I haven't talked to any of them since. Yeah, ditch them. But you lost all of them. Yeah, no, none of them. Does anyone really keep in touch with anyone from school anyway? No, only like one or two.

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Kate, thanks. You called some messages in. That one made me a bit sad. I did. It was sad. It was sad. Girls, I tell you what, girls can be very cruel. Kate's bit sad. I did. It was sad. It was sad.

Girls, I tell you what, girls can be very cruel. Kate's moved on. Yeah, Kate's doing great. My two best friends had babies at the same time. Now they're best friends and they don't have babies.

You don't want to be hanging around with those crying babies. They don't have babies. So I don't have any, I don't have the common bond that they do of being new mothers.

So now they're best friends. Well, that's sad as well, actually, isn't it? This is all going to be a bit sad. Maybe. All right. We'll keep them coming in. We're talking about friendship jealousy. When you look at your friend having another friendship

and it makes you feel all funny inside. Anonymous, you've suffered a bit of friendship jealousy? Yes, I have. Tell us about it. These are all sad stories. These are very sad. Not a great way to sort of wrap up the show. I was super sad about it, but I've kind of got over it now.

So me and my best friend have been friends since like for 10 years, just over 10 years, and her family and I are super, super tight. So it's kind of like a second family almost. I was her maid of honour at her wedding and everything like that. I've been, you know, to her brother's wedding and stuff. And she had a bridesmaid at the wedding who was a very new friend. She'd only known her for about a year. And they ended up having babies eight weeks apart the first time around.

And they started getting super tight. Me and her were still friends. And then they both just found out that they're pregnant again and it's two weeks apart this time. And I very rarely hear from her now. I see her family more than I see her. Oh, mate. Oh, that's another sad story too.

This is growing apart though. This is what happens. Yeah, it does happen, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah. You just kind of have to and they're friends through church and I'm not religious so I'm kind of like I guess she's moving into that

more towards that side of her. Well you can be the sort of bad, bad boyfriend on the side, you know like she can go to church on a Sunday with the babies and then you'll be there in the evening with a bottle of vodka.

I'm going to give her daughter her first bottle of vodka. Yeah, that's who you're going to be. Yes, exactly. Anonymous, thank you for sharing. Some more messages in. My bestie was so jealous of my new gym buddy that she unfriended me when I went to gym buddy's wedding. And has just never spoken to me again.

You're free of a silly friend there. Yeah, that sounds like your bestie was like a lot. Yeah. Like they were holding you emotionally prisoner. Best friends started getting green when our business started doing well. Then really got horrible when we bought our first house. Couldn't handle being made to feel guilty for doing well.

No, you've got to build them up. Yeah, build them up. You've got to build up your buddies. Make achievements like that. Me and my best friend slash girlfriend have been dating for four years. She found a new guy friend and now I feel like the third wheel in my own relationship.

Oh, that's tough. But it's not a sexual thing. No. No. See, that's why your partner should never be your best friend. Right. Because you need to be able to get out of there sometimes. Yeah.

Honestly, Aaron's like number seven or something. Down the list. But it's really important to, like, treat a man, keep him keen, right? Yeah, yeah. Like, he still thinks he could be number one one day, right? He is my number one boyfriend. But if you make him your number one friend, what's he got to work towards? Yeah, yeah. Like, he still thinks he could be number one one day, right? He is my number one boyfriend. But if you make him your number one friend, what's he got to work towards? Yeah, exactly.

You gotta keep them wanting. Yeah. And always knowing he'll never be number one. It's like I introduced Sade to people as my first wife. Yeah, yeah, great. Let her know. Technically, that's exactly correct, but it also just plants a little seed in her mind that if she doesn't play her cards right, there might be a second wife.

Pull the rug out from underneath her. At the same time, at a new time, who knows? You've got to keep these people on their toes. Keep them guessing.
