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 barista-made iced coffees available now at your local McCafe. Is it available as well? Available, available. That will be me soon after we start our celebrations for the end of the week.

You know what, we're having a little brekkie cocktail. I'm disappointed in you both. Why? We're having a little bricky cocktail. I'm disappointed in you both. Why? We're on a journey to health. Yeah, and part of that journey. We're going out for lunch. You better not eat too much at breakfast and not be there for lunch. We're going to have a little bit.

No, we're having a light lunch so that we can be well behaved at lunch. Right, like a light lining. Yes, like a light lining. Okay. Exactly. Lining with carbs and cocktails. Well, I think we do need to clear out because you haven't pooped since we were in Christchurch

and I had a significant amount of that. I've just had allegations levelled at me in the group chat about stinking out the toilet, but I did wheeze. Who did that? I don't know, but I did wheeze when you were scurrying out like a guilty little rat. No, I didn And then the stench

hit me and it was something. I mean, I don't want to gross everybody out, but my swift ablutions were earlier this morning. Right. That was a wheeze and that wasn't me. And then I walk out and Vaughan thinks it's me. It's not me. There was someone, you know, if you're the guilty party in the bathroom, you obviously wait till

everybody leaves. You just have to stay. So you can leave without anyone seeing who your face is. There was someone really taking their time in the disabled toilets. The giveaway is how many times they're yanking on the toilet paper. Yes, there was a lot of yanking on the toilet paper. Two flushes. Two flushes, three yanks. Yeah, but many, many hand towels.

I thought I used a lot of hand towels. Oh, really? This person was like. Wow, someone was cleaning out a bit of spillage by the sounds of things. Yeah, they might have overflowed it. I don't know, but yeah, okay. Well, I'll believe you. So, apology accepted.

Speaking of apologies, yesterday on the show, accusations were cast in my direction that it was my milk bottle here at work that I used to fill up my windscreen wiper squirters that wet the bag of yours in the back of the car. A friend of the show and also cohabitator of this building, Todd. Yeah, he messaged a photo, didn't he? He did. Of the bottle in question in the car park, still in the car park. Not in the boot. So that makes me think that you poured it out over our bags in the boot of the car and then put the bottle back down by the...

No, that can't be right. It's the only explanation. It's the only explanation. No, that can't be right. It wasn't raining in Auckland or Christchurch. How are the bags wet? How did the bags get wet, hey? That's crazy.

Nothing was leaking from inside, and I sniffed it. It was just water. Yeah, I sniffed Fletch's bag. Someone else with a bag might have had a water bottle in their bag, and you know the pressure changes and it pops open. Well, if you were on a flight from Auckland to Christchurch and you had a wet bag as well, thanks very much. Yeah, thank you for the water.

Thanks. Play ZM's Fletch, Fawn, and Hayley. Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Hey, everyone. Well, it's out, the Megan and Harry documentary. I didn't watch it.

So it's out in two parts. Episodes one to three now and then four to 6 on the 15th of December. I watched the trailer yesterday. Right. Scandal. Is it alright to say I don't care? I think it's absolutely fine to say that. Is it okay to say I don't care?

Yeah, it's absolutely fine. Yeah. I don't care that I'm here for the drama. No, it's not even my sort of drama. Like, it's just, it just, every time I hear somebody whinge about Megha Markle, it just, every time I hear somebody whinge about Meghan Markle, it just feels like

they're just not saying the problem that I've got with her is she's brown. Oh, yeah. That's all it sounds like to me. In the trailer. It's like, go on, say it, say it. You know in that movie

A Few Good Men, where Tom Cruise is baiting Jack Nicholson's character? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he's like, you want the truth? He's like, I want to demand the truth. You don't deserve the truth. You can't handle the truth. That's it. Yeah, that, yeah. And then he's like, you want the truth? He's like, I want to demand the truth. You don't deserve the truth.

You can't handle the truth. That's it. Yeah, that's what you want to bait these people into just saying, God, there's no place for a brown person in the royal family. And you're like, oh. I know. In the trailer, there's definitely hints of that. Yeah.

And it's wild. That's all it feels like every time you hear someone bad-mouthing her. Yeah. And it's wild. That's all it feels like every time you hear someone bad mouthing her. Right. Well you watch it and then just tell me the highlights because I don't want to watch it. Yeah neither I don't care enough either. I just want the highlights. But I also it scratches an itch for me. It's like why I watch

the Kardashians. I don't care but I can't look away. I can't I can't watch that. Alright, coming up on the show, the top six. Apparently there's a new, I don't know if it's in New Zealand or America, a Mountain Dew flavour that we don't need.

Wild stuff from Mountain Dew who have released a Christmas cake. Well, it's a fruit cake, but a Christmas cake, I guess because it's come out this time of year. A Christmas cake flavoured drink called Fruit Quake. It upsets me. Deeply. It's wild. I guess, because it's come out at this time of year. A Christmas cake flavoured drink called Fruitquake. That upsets me. Deeply.

It's wild. I'm here for it. It's like Mountain Dew are doing vape juices now. Oh, God. Yes. Anything you can possibly imagine. So we've got the top six other flavours that would be good. Mountain Dews.

All right, that's coming up. And with one good Kiwi, at 6.30, we're going to give you the chance to win some cash and donate to a good cause. I'll give you all the details soon. Next on the show, though, there is a rave absolutely blowing up in Australia at the moment. And I tell you what, I would go. If it came to New Zealand, I would go. Is it a observable?

It's because somebody wants to tell me. That's your clue. I am not one for raves. I don't think I've been to a

rave since I was like 18. They weren't big in my 20s years. Yeah. You'd go clubbing. Yeah. You'd go clubbing.

Yeah. But you wouldn't hit the raves. But apparently, who said this? Instagram. Instagram have released their trends for next year. What they predict is going to be hashtag trending. And they think raves are making a big comeback. Raves.

Oh, too many people. Too many people. So it's basically just lots of people Going to a place And just absolutely Getting down to some Electronic music Yeah Maybe if they started

At five and were done by eight No it's too No what And at like 80 decibels tops Yeah Yeah and like And limited to five

Of your closest Yeah yeah yeah And just like Keep the tone of the music Sort of more jazzy Yes Are we talking about Going to a jazz club? Are we going to a jazz club?

Are we going to a jazz club? Are we going for a late afternoon jazz club? Are we going to have two drinks and then go home? Yeah, I think we are. Oh, my God. Well, I've got to drive. I can't have any more. Oh, absolutely.

Absolutely. I've only paid for parking for an hour, so we'll keep it quick. But, you know, also we'll be hungry, so maybe I'll bring some cheese. Oh, lovely. Or should we just go to a restaurant? Okay, let's go out for dinner. We'll just go out for dinner. We'll just go out for dinner.

Where there's jazz music. Yeah, a jazz night. Jazz music. Well, raves are back, and in Australia at the moment, there is one rave touring that is absolutely, it looks incredible. I'm going to say it. It is a Shrek-themed rave. What? You have to dress up? A Shrek-themed rave. What?

You have to dress up? A Shrek-themed rave. So there's videos. It's called Shrek Rave AU. Yeah. On their Instagram. And everyone's dressed up. So someone's dressed up as the Big Bad Wolf,

but in the grandma outfit. There's Little Red Riding Hood. There's, Who's the gingerbread man? Not the gumdrop button. Not the goody gumdrop. He's so, oh, that's one of my favourite characters.

There's obviously a lot of Shreks. There's a lot of glow sticks. I'm going to say it looks cool. One moment. Just play it out. Just play it out. Just play it out. So many people have been sharing videos. Like, it is pumping.

There are screens with, like, a dancing Shrek. There are women in, like, green lingerie with Shrek masks on. Being all sexy Shreks. So is this, like, an official... I think it's called Shreksy. It's very Shreksy. Very, very Shreksy. Is it, like, an official Shreks? So is this like an official... I think it's called Shreksy. It's very Shreksy. Very, very Shreksy. Is it like an official Shrek thing? Like it's licensed?

I don't know. I can't see DreamWorks getting on board today. Yeah, it feels a little too sexy. Right. But it is, yeah, it's called Shrek Rave AU and it's touring around everywhere. So it's about $50 to go depending on your location. It could be a little cheaper than that.

You have to be in costume. And everyone has just gone hard. And there's sing-alongs. Like they play all the music but like dance versions of this and I'm a believer. At the end of the night do they play Rufus Wainwright's Hallelujah?

Oh my God, maybe. Just to get everybody out, you know. Everyone's like, Time for you all to go home. Guys, I would go, maybe. Just to get everybody out, you know. Everyone's like, oh. Time for you all to go home. Guys, I would go. If this came to New Zealand, I would absolutely go. And I think it would be a blast.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, a celebrity dentist has answered the question. I didn't even know people were asking this, but should you brush your teeth as soon as you wake up in the morning or after you've had breakfast? Is this a dentist who specializes in work on celebrities or them themselves are of such a high profile? They're the celebrity. Well, I think both. They've become a celebrity because they are a celebrity dentist.

Celebrity dentist. Like TikTok. So they're a celebrity squared dentist. Yes. Whoa. So you guys will weekdays. Weekdays brush my teeth. And then come to work. And then eat my teeth. And then come to work?

And then eat at work. And then eat at work, same. But weekends, if I eat breakfast, I will. Because I don't often eat breakfast on the weekends. Right. You know, can't be arsed. But I would eat brekkie first, especially if I wasn't leaving the house. Yeah, same.

And then brush your teeth after. If you're lucky. Because I don't want my breakfast to taste like minty freshness. Yeah, no, yeah. Yeah. The drinks afterwards, when you brush your teeth, they taste not as bad as when you're a kid. Now, is that because our tongues are

old, leathery old tongues now? Yeah. You know when you're a kid, you'd brush your teeth and then for about three hours you couldn't drink orange juice? Yeah, orange juice was the worst. You've got an especially leathery tongue in your old age. Well, no, this dentist is saying you should do it first thing when you get up in the morning. You want to get rid of the bacteria that was growing on your mouth overnight,

which is a nice thought. And if you do need to brush your teeth after breakfast or your morning coffee, it's best to wait 30 minutes. And that way you won't scratch your teeth, which can erode your enamel. Which I'm guessing because there's food on them? There's food, yeah. So you're doing a double brush. But then it also says don't brush too much.

Yeah, I know. Or too hard. Who's rocking a hard toothbrush? Who's rocking a hard toothbrush? I know. I'm soft. No, no, no. I'm soft. know, people that brush multiple. Who's rocking a hard toothbrush? Who's rocking a hard toothbrush? I know. I'm soft. No, no, no. I'm soft.

I'm soft. Super soft if I can. Yeah. Baby milk teeth soft. Hard. Hard. I just rub my finger softly against it like that. Yeah.

And you're still going strong? Your temporary cap? Correct. It's still going 12, 13 years later? Yeah, I think so. This guy. Here's a long tease. Just after 7.30, I've got a bit of a tooth update myself. That is quite a

long tease. Well, stick around. I don't know if anybody is. Well, stick around. Long tease. Just after 7.30, I've got a bit of a tooth conundrum. Yeah, alright. Next on the show, the top six. Yeah, the top six Mountain Dew flavours. Mountain Dew have said, hey, you guys have been asking for it or not asking for it.

You definitely are one of the two. Christmas cake flavoured Mountain Dew. Fruit Quake. No. Nobody needs that. No, they don't. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. From the bustling ZM think tank.

This is the top six. Hello there. Mountain Dew's fruit quake flavour is Mountain Dew flavoured like a fruitcake. What's Mountain Dew flavour? Lemon. Ish. Yeah. What does it taste like? I don't know.

Like... Neon lemon. Like, yeah. A lemony lime? Yeah. What does it taste like? I don't know. Neon lemon. Yeah. A lemony lime? That feels more sweet. Citrus flavoured. Citrus. It's a bold and distinctly refreshing citrus flavoured carbonated soft drink.

With its caffeinated formula, Mountain Dew provides an energised lift that exhilarates and quenches with one-of-a-kind taste. It is unique. It's unique. Citrus flavoured and caffeinated. So Fruit Quake is, for a Christmas release, it's exactly what it sounds like. It's a Christmas cake.

Here's a review. Is it getting released here? No word. Hopefully not. Okay. Here's a review. My honest review of the Mountain Dew Fruitcake flavor. I've never made a greater mistake in my life.

I don't know what I was thinking. Who in their right mind would even combine Mountain Dew with the flavor of fruitcake? But most of all, I'm disappointed in myself. Somebody else says, I must have it. I must have it. I regret having it. I regret having it. I regret having it. I don't know how you put it into a drink.

What is it? Nutmeg, cinnamon, dried fruit. Yeah, orange peel. Orange peel. Zesty. It'd be quite odd, wouldn't it? Yeah. In the official photo, it's also got some cherries in there and some pecans.

Pecans, what a great nut-flavoured fizzy drink. Pecan's a great addition to a fruitcake, though, if you're making a Christmas fruitcake. Which you shouldn't be. What a pecan. You know where I stand

on fruitcake. On Christmas biscuits. Get in the bin. Get in the bin. Get rid of them. I love them. I love them. So, today's top six

is the top six Mountain Dew flavours you didn't know you wanted. Number six on the list, butter. Who doesn't want to be six Mountain Dew flavours you didn't know you wanted. Number six on the list, butter. Who doesn't want to be drinking Mountain Dew to the delicious taste of butter? Oh my God. And it leaves the oily coating around your mouth.

I've got a pot like Dennis and I, I'm thinking some Mama Fiorelli's garlic bread with lots of that buttery. It's so buttery. I might even add some more butter. You're going to get uninvited. Do these people mean anything to you? You're about to be uninvited from any future potlucks

if you turn up with that trash. That's not my main problem. I make my pav every Christmas potluck. Oh, that's good. I make my famous pav. Okay. You buy your famous pav. I make it.

I make it. You buy it. What are you decorating it with? Yeah, but I make it because I put cream on it. Yes, okay. And berries. Berries and cream. Ber berries. Berries and cream. Berries.

Berries and what else? What else goes on top of the pav? Kiwi? I just put, like, take some, I don't know, some blueberries or some raspberries. Well, expensive, though. And sprinkle them on. Well, yeah. Boring.

A bougie dab. Chocolate. Chocolate. Flakes. I might put a flake on there. Yeah, crumble a flake on there. Crumble a flake on there. Yeah.

You simply must. The last time I got a flake to take along, I ate the flake. So it was just berries. You should, you've got to put a little bit of mint on and some pomegranate. Because that looks like holly. I didn't go to a private school. Oh no, pomegranate, yes. Pomegranate is for rich people.

No, just tiny little, the mini little mint leaves. Just scatter it ever so much. Because otherwise it's all just very one tone. You simply must. Okay, so mulch at a time. Okay. So berries, green sprinkles,

crunched up flake. No, no, no. So by adding colour you can't just sort of find a green thing and put it on. Green sprinkles. No, not green sprinkles.

Keep it classy. What about those mint leaf lollies? People just pick them off and toss them. But if you had two mint leaves and a Jaffa, it would look like a holly. But then a Jaffa's got no place on a Pav.

But then neither does a mint leaf. It's purely decorative. I'm going to make you guys a real classy private school Pav. Oh, that'd be nice. Number five on the list of the top six Mountain Dew flavours you didn't know you wanted. Mints. Just mints. Just mints in a pan.

Mints. M-I-C-E. M-I-N-C you wanted. Mints. Just mints. Just mints in a pan. Mints. M-I-C-E. M-I-N-C-E. Not mice. M-I-N-C-E. Number four on the list of the top six Mountain Dew flavors you didn't know you wanted. Petrol. Might as well.

Yeah. Yum. How good is petrol? Yeah. Indie, my daughter, asks me if you're supposed to like the smell. God, wait till she wraps her nose around a vivid. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Well, she said before she likes walking out to the plane because she gets the smell that better. Same. She's huffing is what she's doing. She's secondhand huffing. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six mountain juice flavours you didn't know you wanted, bacon.

of the top six Mountain Dew flavours you didn't know you wanted Cigarettes It's the end of the year It's the end of the year isn't it A bit of durry juice

Play ZM It's the final rankings Well, we do this every Friday. Today, it's Christmas movies. There's so many Christmas movies I haven't seen.

I haven't seen a lot of the classics. No. Like what? Like what are the classics? Is it Christmas on 34th? Oh, you mean like old school? Old, old movies. That people say are like the best Christmas movies. 15 days away.

Jeez Louise. Like, how many paydays till Christmas? How many shopping days till Christmas? One payday till Christmas. One payday till Christmas. Aw. Yeesh. Aw, suck.

So like what, this weekend and next weekend are the last weekends for shopping? If you're working all through the week? I think so. Yeah, but don't. Like, just do an online voucher and email it to them. It's truly the best and no one's going to be disappointed, I promise you. Yeah. I've looked up the best Christmas movies of all time from Esquire. They've gone a bit rogue. The 71 best Christmas movies of all time from Esquire.

They've gone a bit rogue. The 71 best Christmas movies of all time. There's not that many. Not that many good ones. Why 71? I don't know. I'll stop all the debate. Elf. Elf's great. Hands down. Elf is great. Great movie. Modern. It's not in my top three though. Oh really?

Nah, no way. What's your top three? I would go, I'm gonna have to do one for my emo goth friends out there, Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton. Yeah, very good movie. I haven't seen that for years. It's so good. The music's amazing. I thought you were going to say the Paramore Christmas special.

No, not the Paramore Christmas special. I would go there. And then I'm tossing up, number one for me is Home Alone. Oh, not the Paramore Christmas special. I would go there and then I'm tossing up, number one for me is Home Alone. I'm going to package them together. But number two, I'm tossing up between and I know this is trash

and as I'm saying it out loud You're going to say Love Actually, aren't you? Yeah. It's just I love Hugh Grant. Hugh Grant's one of my favourite actors of all time, and it's one of his best roles. You know he's in the new Dungeons & Dragons movie. Yeah, so a little bit of the shine's come off for me.

Yeah. Right. But I also, tossing up between that and The Holiday, which I also really love. Is that the Vince Vaughn? No, it's Jude Law, Jack Black, Kate Winslet, and Cameron Diaz. Wow, your trash is really showing this morning. Yeah, my trash is showing.

I can feel it. I'd go Alf, Home Alone and then Eh. Really? What about any diehards? Bruce has still Christmas, the Jim Carrey one. Well, the Die Hard technically isn't a Christmas movie. Excuse me, Bruce Willis needs it this year. Oh my God, he does.

Okay, Die Hard at three. Yeah. Vaughn. Well, I love Die Hard and it this year. Oh, my God, he does. Okay, Bruce. Okay, Die Hard at three. Yeah. Vaughn. Well, I love Die Hard, and it is a Christmas movie, but it's not Christmas enough to make my Christmas list. I'd say Grinch that Stole Christmas. Yeah. The Jim Carrey one.

Yeah. That's a good character. It's deep. It took him eight hours a day of makeup, eight hours of shooting day. Wow. Crazy. Home Alone.

Yeah. And Bad Santa would be my number one. Oh, Bad Santa. I forgot about Bad Santa. Bad Santa rules. Bad Santa rules, actually. The best pieces of ass. Yeah, he does.

No one plays them better. There's heaps of modern classics as well. Is there a new Bad Santa-ish movie starring... David Harbour from Stranger Things? Is that Violent Night? Yes. Apparently getting really good reviews as well. Getting really good reviews, but it's in cinemas,

but it's not getting a New Zealand cinema release for Christmas. That is a surprising role for him, career-wise. He is on top at the moment, and now he's doing this sort of strange horror Christmas. Yeah, super violent, violent night. Why would they not release that here in time for Christmas? God, they all wonder why people pirate movies, eh? Yeah.

Because you don't want a Christmas movie and July movie, people. An elite team of mercenaries break into a family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everybody hostage inside. However, they aren't prepared for a surprise combatant. Santa Claus is on the grounds, and he's about to show why Nick is no saint. Oh, I love it. How good. I would go watch that. I'd go watch that.

How good. There was Fat Man as well. That was Mel Gibson playing Santa. Right. And he's had a surprising number of movies since his cancellation. He really has. He's wild, eh? Do you have Passion of the Christ?

Yes. I never saw it. It looked long and scary. I saw it when I was 13 or 14 years old, and I cried and people were vomiting in the cinema. And then I went, because I went to a religious high school, and I went up to the chaplain afterwards and I said, oh, I watched Fashion of the Christ.

Yeah. And he said, what did you think? I said, I thought it was horrible. And he said, yeah, that's what Jesus did for you. That's my whole memory of that film is him saying like, yeah, well, that's because of you that it happened. And I was like, oh, okay.

I'm sure that'll make everybody down at Reading Cinemas feel better about cleaning out people's vomit. It was Reading Cinemas too. So do we have a consensus? Home Alone has got to be. Home Alone's up there. Yeah. But Bad Santa we were all very excited about.

Yeah. I mean, I just think they're all good. I'm going to watch exclusively Christmas films from now on. From here till the 25th. Yeah. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day the National Poultry Producers Association.

Oh, he's taking it. Big egg. He's on big egg money. I'm on big egg. He's reading out all their propaganda. Yeah. Big egg. Hey, when are we going to get some eggs from your lot? Yeah.

I've only got three chickens left, so they're producing enough eggs for my family exclusively. Yeah, because you used to bring in eggs all the time. Yeah, when we had eight chickens and they were all laying. We had more eggs than we knew what to do with. Yeah, we're going to get some more in the new year, I think, some more chickens. But there's a real pecking order problem with the chickens. You add new chickens to the existing flock, the old girls will peck on them. Really?

Yeah, you know when a hot new girl starts at work and the old girls feel threatened and start knuckling down and it becomes a real female. I felt that at the start of this year. Yes, female on female. Oh, my God, I tell you what. The abuse you put up with, you had your car towed, you were throwing things at you.

Absolutely, and I was like, I get it, but please. And I said to Tony Street, I said, you've just got to allow her in the building. What she doesn't understand is I'm the hottest person at Les Mills Christchurch. And she needs to realise that. Chip tooth or not chip tooth. Chip tooth or not.

You are Christchurch's Les Mills number one attraction. Yeah, you're a Les Mills 10 in Christchurch. I am a Christchurch Les Mills 10. Yeah. And that feels good. Feels great. Well, this is about, this thing of the day is not about that. It's about what country eats the most eggs per capita?

Your guess is. Is it an Asian country? Really? Oh, really? It is not, man. I was going to say Japan. Japan is second. Well, when I said it's an Asian country, you should have said it's very close or you're warm.

But I was right on the money. No, Japan's second. They're not first. The number one eating egg country. Not an Asian country. Is it a South American country? No, but Colombia is third. Oh, see, we're hot on the money here. What would Colombia do with so many eggs?

They do love an egg on top of things like they do in Japan. They would explain it. Yeah, Japan loves an omelette. Well, obviously because this is a fact of the day. Oh, my God. What about those things on top of sushis? It's not us.

It's an egg. That thing. That's why they'll use so many eggs. In Japan. That thing. Is it nigiri? Nigiri? No.

What do they call it? A nigiri spagliato. The one with that big fat egg log on top of a sushi. Oh, yeah. But you could get three of those out of one egg. An egg log. And they do a good egg log. They do a good egg log.

No, it's not Japan. Colombia's third. Yes. You said Mexico. Yes. Yeah. What? Mexico are averaging 409 eggs per person per year.

That's more than a negative. But when you think about Mexican food. Go on. What? I think of salsa. Where are the eggs? But that's Americanized Mexican food that we eat, isn't it? Yes.

Rancho. Oh, my God. I love rancho. Like chili Hot Yeah Eggs So no Apparently

It is because In Mexico Breakfast is a sacred Non-skip meal But because so many people Were working from home They had time On their hands

If you're rushing to work You don't have time for eggs For me Eggs is a weekend treat Oh weekend treat for me too Yeah Weekend treat eggs I dabble in eggs during a weekend treat. Oh, weekend treat for me too. Yeah, weekend treat, eggs. I dabble in eggs during the week.

You do? You cook an egg at work? Yeah. Everyone's talking about it. Are they? Listen, that's how you become the hottest person at Christchurch, Les Mills. Oh, just straight protein in the morning. Yeah, protein.

So they put it down to the fact that more people from Mexico were home to enjoy a cooked breakfast because they were working from home and the increased price of meat in Mexico meant people were looking for protein alternatives. Oh, so this is just this year? Yeah, well, they've always been right up there. Who did they beat? Who was normally number one? Japan and Colombia.

Oh, because of the egg log. Because of the egg log. Because of the egg log. And the omelettes and stuff. So in 2017, they were averaging 380 eggs per person. It's now up to 409. So it's got up about 30 eggs. 30 eggs per person per year.

Tamago. Tamago. Is that what it's called? Is that how you'd say that? Yeah, tamago. Tamago. Japanese tamago egg. Yum.

What do they do? They scramble it and then they? No, you know when you watch Japanese eggs being made and they get those square pans and they put it in and then that one dries and then they put more egg in and then they roll it? And it's fine, isn't it? And then you slice it.

Like a slow omelette. A slow scramble. How good is Japanese eggs with soy sauce in the eggs and then some Kewpie mayo on top and maybe a little bit of... Kewpie mayo's doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Japanese sauce on it. It's so far away. Do we rank?

Because we love a brunch. Yeah, we do. We're not in this article, though. What are the other countries? It's got the top three. Right, okay. Japan and Colombia. Right.

Yeah, but like Mexico is miles ahead So 409 eggs per person as I said And Japan just behind them, 337 It's an egg a day Over an egg a day It's over an egg a day Over an egg a day Over an egg a day

So today's fact of the day is The country, usually we do quite well in a per capita Yeah we do But we've not made the top three Because the country that eats the most eggs per capita In the world, Mexico. Fact of the day! Day, day, day,

day! Yeah! Yeah! Oh my god, I am just looking at how they did this study that I'm going to share with you. It is about the most annoying sounds in the world. Now, this is mainly done in places where apartment living is really popular. Okay.

So they did it in Germany, Korea, China, Canada. And what they did is they had a whole bunch of test subjects and surrounded them by a number of noises and tested what it did to their heart rate, what it was doing in their brain. They went all science on it. And the things that they tested were thudding noises coming from above,

people dropping things on the ground, music pumping through walls. Yeah. Oh my God. They did a whole bunch of noises that you would usually hear from your neighbours. Yeah. Oh my God. They just, they did a whole bunch of noises that you would usually hear from your neighbours. Right.

So muffled conversation. We used to have this. I used to live above a man with a very bassy tone. What do you mean? Like you'd hear him talking?

Yeah, so this was when I lived in Wellington in a very cold, damp, separated villa. They were downstairs and we were upstairs. And his family obviously lived overseas because

in the middle of the night he'd be on the phone going like and I would hear it coming through the floor. Oh, that sucks. It drove me crazy. And this is what the study found. They called it impact noise

from noisy neighbours is the most annoying sound in the world above anything else. When it lasts for over a certain amount of time. Especially when you're trying to get to sleep. Yeah. We also lived

under people once. Oh, so that's the step-step-step-step. That's just that constant thumping. You know I've dealt with music through the walls or even music from the neighbour's houses next door. Noisy neighbours. That's the thing. And then they can literally cause heart disease

because of the stress and the... Yeah, associated. The increase in your cardiovascular heart rate, basically, because you are so annoyed by the sound. That would be right because you can put up with... Well, I can put up with, like, the city noise of cars and the hum. Yeah, it's kind of grey noise. Kind of grey noise.

But, yeah, when you hear, like, loud people next door or thumping, you're just like... I don't want to pause to call you. Is it hypocrite? Is that the word that I want? That's what you want. Yeah, but you have certainly been there causing loud music. Me?

While you were singing along too. I'm sorry, Mr. Brightside. Anyway, so I mean, I think I agree with this. I've dealt with noisy neighbours before. I am a noisy neighbour currently because we're renovating, so it's constantly hammering and drills and saws and all sorts. Loud cars. Cars.

Or the lawnmower. The neighbours that want a lawnmower at 7am. I don't mind a lawnmower. But not at 7am. Isn't 9am the rule? But I'd rather that than them have a messy berm. I don't want to see that. I don't want to see that. Oh yeah.

I don't want to see that. But yeah, yeah, like noisy cars. I've had that, like doof doof cars. Anyway, I agree with this

but I'm sure lots of people find other sounds more annoying. So I want to say what is your most annoying sound? You want to open up the phone lines this morning? I want to open up the phones

and hear what is the most annoying sound according to you. Okay. What else? What other ones are there? Yappy dogs. Oh, crying babies on the flight yesterday. Oh, my God.

You are so embarrassing, Fletch. Yesterday on the plane, I was sitting next to Fletch on the plane on the way home from Christchurch, and literally a baby would make a single noise, and he would turn around and shush it. Yeah, nice. It's shocking. And it doesn't work. Why don't they get it?

Because they're babies. Because they can't comprehend what you're doing. Right. But it is. I thought that would be enough for the parents to, I don't know, put it in the locker overhead or something. Oh, my God. He's like audibly shushing a baby.

I was mortified. It is one of my triggering noises. I cannot deal. Like noise, that was going over my noise cancelling headphones, that baby. Yeah, it was. Is it too much to ask a family to drive from Christchurch to Auckland? No, you know what? Probably not.

Probably not with that baby. Well, maybe you've got a very unique sound that absolutely drives you crazy. There's that phobia, you know, or like the... Nails down a chalkboard? No, hearing people eating. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's horrible.

Yeah. Oh, my God. I'll leave a room. I hate it. All right. Well, we want to take a pause. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM.

We're talking about the most annoying noises. Neighbours noising has been voted. The worst. It's been science. Yeah, it's been science-ly tested. Proven that the sound of noisy neighbours is more annoying than any other noise nuisance. Yeah. It's once it gets to you, it doesn't stop.

It just makes it worse. It's also just like, this is where I live. Yeah. You can't escape. I think that's why it annoys you more is because it's supposed to be your tranquil. Your safe space and someone's ruining it for you. So what is the most annoying noise to you? Are we just racking people up on a Friday?

I think we are. Get them going. I think we are. Well, they certainly were racked up when I said that you should put a baby in an overhead locker like I meant it. It would be a nice option if they did fall asleep to have a cot up there for them, though. Well, they have bassinets sometimes.

Yeah, bassinets at the front. Not enough bassinets. Only on the long haul flights, though. On the long hauls. Yeah. On the longies. All right, let's take some calls. Ruben, the most annoying noise to you, what is it?

Morning, team. Morning. I would have to say people talking during movies. The little hubbub. Oh, I can't stand it. So you guys have heard of the five love languages, you know, touch, all that kind of stuff. So for my dad and for myself, one of the love languages that is unspoken would be movies. And when people just walk into the kitchen, they're back here, you know, back into the movies, and, you know, or they're talking, or they're like, oh, what just happened?

You know, it's like, oh, my gosh, just watch the movie and you'll find out, you know? Yeah, right, yeah. Although, if I'm ever at the movies with Vaughn, it's like, where do I know that person from? Is that the person from Sneaky IMDB? Yeah, that was the brightest write-down. Or just people that chat and they're not

into the movie. It's like, everyone else is paid to be there. You should. Oh, well, even just like sitting at home and watching a movie with friends and stuff. I've got friends that I know are good at watching movies and will sit down and enjoy it and then comment when it's appropriate.

But when you're midway through an intense scene and then someone's just like, oh, I don't understand what happened. Can you just explain that to me? I haven't done what's just happened yet. We're going to watch the whole thing. We've raked him up. We've really raked you up, Reuben.

Thanks for your call. Jamie, the most annoying sound to you, what is it? Morning, guys. Morning. Mine, so I'm an ECE teacher, and I didn't realise I hated this sound until I became a teacher, but it's plastic chairs being pushed on lino. Oh.

Scared. Scared. And that would be just in the classroom all the time, right? Oh, constantly, because I look after two-year-olds, so obviously, like, lifting the chair is a bit hard for them, so their first thing is just to push it, and it's just the worst noise. Scared!

Oh, God. Scared! Yeah, okay. So, I mean, you can't leave that job, can you, over that noise? No, no. We just teach them to pick them up, but, you know, as soon as you hear that noise, it's just turn around and you just stare at the child, like pick that chair up now.

Love it, Jamie. Thanks, you call Simon. The most annoying sound to you on earth. What is it? Good morning. Hey, I've got two dogs and love them to bits. But when they're cleaning themselves, it drives me insane when they're licking.

Just the licking sound? I know they have to do it. It's just the sound of them opening their mouths and licking constantly. They can do it outside. They can do it outside. In fact, I think you'll find dogs can do most things outside, and that is where they should stay.

We don't have dogs, so I wouldn't put them outside overnight. Yeah. They're a kind man. Their wolf ancestors are looking down at your dog staying inside overnight and like, disgusting. What have we become? Simon, thank you for your call.

Are some messages in? Someone said when people click their joints, that really gets me going. Oh, I hate it too. That's a horrible noise. I hate it. People can do it on, like, command, right? They can just do it. No.

No. No. That's yuck. That was a poppy poppy. Somebody else said that pouring water into a glass from a bottle or a jug, I don't know why, but that glug, glug, glug noise really gets me going. I love that noise. That's a great noise.

What about when someone's doing that, you know when someone's really hooning some water and you hear like... It's like watching a kid drink. Yeah. And then they go... Hard swallowing. Somebody said...

Oh, yeah, okay. My grandma eats so loudly and slowly when she's eating a cracker, she sounds like a gravel crusher. It drives me up the wall. Just get that cracker eaten, grandma. They don't have enough saliva, old people,

to do a cracker fast. You've got to go slowly. A few other people saying their dog's licking their penises while they're asleep. Now, that is the dog licking their own penis. Yeah, yeah. Not the person who's trying to sleep

because that would be annoying, wouldn't it, if you were trying to nod off? Sometimes I'll hear my cat licking their own penis. Yeah, yeah. Not the person who's trying to sleep because that would be annoying, wouldn't it, if you were trying to nod off? Yeah. Sometimes I'll hear my cat licking. Aaron! Get out of my face! I'm cooking up at force. Cut it out.

People slurping coffee or sucking air through their front teeth. Oh my God. I used to do that and then someone called me out and I've stopped because when I had retainers when I was doing Invisalign, you used to always suck the saliva out of them. You go and then once I stopped, I just couldn't stop doing that. Yeah.

Whistling really gets into my brain. I hate it. I love it when people whistle. It makes me happy. Yeah, but stop being happier around everyone else. Stop smearing your happiness in my face. Stop rubbing it in my face. Yeah.

My triggering noise would be Fletch shushing my crying baby. Oh. Oh. You've upset Mama Bear. You've upset Mama Bear. I'm just saying it would just be a lot easier to take the car. On air apology, please. On air apology.

I apologise for saying to put your baby in the overhead locker. Obviously, there's no room up there because Vaughan's massive bags up there. No, that's not what the problem is with it. No, I arrived to the plane late, so there's no room for my bag either. Yeah. But if your baby's up there, I'm going to take your baby down and be like, whose is this? And then your bag will go in there. Because you're not in my row.

Yeah, right. That's where my bag goes. That's my row. That's my row's bags. Don't feel someone's taking too big a bag and make that their problem. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole.

Are you the favorite? You're doing a silly little voice for silly little pole. Silly little pole. Are you the favorite child? 54% of people believe they are. I love that the other half know that they're not. 46% said nah. I'm not the favourite child.

I genuinely don't think my parents have favourites. But I hang out with and see my parents more because I live in... That I reckon makes you their favourite. Well, I talk to my parents most days. Yeah. If not every day. Because my brother's a busy boy in Melbourne. How often does he talk to my parents most days. Yeah. If not every day. Because my brother's a busy boy in Melbourne. How often does he talk to your parents?

Oh, fortnightly maybe? Oh, you're the favourite then. Oh, but we message. You're the favourite. We message. Right, but you'd be the favourite. Yeah. I think they like me more, but they love him more.

Oh, wow. Oh, yeah, that's a good way of putting it. You know what I mean? Yeah, because you're always there, so you probably piss them off more than he pisses them off, but they also get more enjoyment out of you because you're there more often. And also, he grew up like a sweet, sensitive soul,

and I grew up a nightmare. Yeah, you'd be more annoying than your brother. Yeah, I think I ruined their life for longer. Sort of a tarnished reputation with your folks. It's hard to love me after being such a brat for so long. Yeah, right. Well, Josh says, the favourite child will be whoever gives my mother a grandchild first

and as a gay it won't be me. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. There's options nowadays, isn't there? But have you heard them cry? Brooke says, I'm the only child and I'm not even the favourite child. Who is?

You're the favourite, but you're also the worst. Unless they've told you that, you know, there's a sort of a foster child situation. Yeah, right. I used to be the favourite child, said Ella. Then my sister had a kid, so now I'm not. Yeah. I'm the only girl and the youngest, so of course I'm the favourite, said Ella then my sister had a kid so now I'm not yeah I'm the only girl and the youngest

so of course I'm the favourite says Jessie Joanna Dad I know I am because Dad took me overseas as an adult twice

and we flew business class both times he's only taken my brother once as an adult and they flew economy okay yeah definitely wow the favourite there

because you've got a favourite eh Thorn. Nah. Well, it changes day to day. Oh, right. Depending on who's... The mood. Yeah, we're all favourite.

Okay. Yeah. But he has to say that. He has to say that. He does. I'm my own favourite. In his heart. Yeah.

Us dads have got to stick together. It's me. I'm my favourite. That's fair enough. Natalie said yes or no. Yes to my dad, no to my mum. I'm happy with that. So Natalie's dad's favourite, but not mum's favourite.

Okay. So that's all right. That's maybe a good thing if you can agree to have one each. If you've got two kids to have one each. But what if you get the dud kid? Yeah, or what if you're the kid and you get the dud adult? Yeah. Sophie says my little brother has a PhD.

So he's the golden child. Hard to beat Summer says My daughter, the grandchild Is my mother's favourite child That's her favourite grandchild Yeah well you can't compete with your own children For the affection of your parents It was like yesterday my mum was like

I said the girls didn't go to school I said yeah they reckon they've got a sore throat But they don't, they've had COVID tests They're negative Mum said oh don't. They've had COVID tests. They're negative. Mum said, oh, don't say that. You sound so hard. I'm like, this is the same woman that if you vomited in the morning and there was a 20-minute period where you didn't vomit,

you were going to school. I know. Why did they change and become soft? Why have they changed? They've got soft. We need that firm hand more now than ever. I know. I would never have just been allowed to stay home from school

because my throat was a little tickly. Oh, you could hear it. Her voice, she didn't sound well. I'm like, I beg one's pardon. She's an actor. She's a little actress. My mum made me go to school when I had, like, strep throat once. Yeah.

Yeah. I was like, I can't breathe. Mum's like, well, you better get breathing and get down that driveway because the school bus is 10 minutes away. Remember all the kids who would come to school with chicken pox? Yeah. You'll be right. I've got stuff to do today.

I can't bloody have you kids hanging around home. Adam says, my dad's password for everything is my youngest brother's name. There's eight of us. And when I asked why he got password rights, dad said, because he's my favourite, did you guys not know? Oh, I mean, it's good to be honest. Why would the youngest be the,

wouldn't the youngest more likely be a mistake? No, the youngest always gets like babied and Yeah. Like it's the last one. Yeah. You know, you've learnt

all the things to avoid doing when you ruin the first six. Yes. Yeah, right. In this case with, you know, Catholic fact that he said that it was eight. Yeah. So there you go. Apparently, if you know, you know, you know.

And if you don't. Yeah, you know, you know, you know. You know. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, I've done it again and I've done this before. I am, I don't know if you can tell, but I'm highly strung. I don't know if you know this of me, but I'm quite tightly wound. You?

Highly strung? That's like me being sarcastic. Not going to happen. Anyway, yesterday I woke up in the Christchurch hotel room To get ready to go to our tent That was fun I enjoyed it I just got asked in the office if we were actually in a tent Because of our new broadcast square

There's photographic proof People think we're lying It was genuinely fun Ask Liv and Rhys who found us We were in a tent Anyway so I woke up yesterday morning and I had like a bit of grit in my mouth. And I did your classic,

you know, spat out whatever it was. Could it have been leftover nut from our dinner? Could have been leftover nut from the din, some sort of seed. Okay. Anything really. I didn't think much of it. You do love your nuts and seeds.

High in fats and I love them. Loves the nuts and seeds. I love a nut and I love a seed. And I thought nothing of it. And then yesterday I saw myself in the mirror and I have absolutely figured out what it was. What was in my mouth yesterday morning

was a small shard of my tooth. Because I've done this before. I wear a retainer at night because I grind my teeth and when I packed for Christchurch I'd had a couple of Raffino Proseccos Our go to It's an unpaid endorsement there

Unpaid and I forgot to pack my retainer so every now and then I'll do a night without the retainer in, and usually it's fine. But this has happened before one night when I forgot to wear my retainer. I ground my tooth down so badly that I got like a huge bit missing on the bottom. And I can't be bothered getting that one fixed.

And I've done it before where I've chipped the very tooth that I've chipped again. When I say chippedipped I mean ground off. It's noticeable. Yeah. It is. It's a jagged little tooth now. You're so anxious or wound up in your sleep. I'm so anxious. I'm literally anxious in my sleep. Yeah, it's quite bad, isn't it?

And you may remember last time I did this I got a nail file and I... Oh God, no don't do that. Flattened it off. Take off the sharp edge. Flattened it off because it was annoying. No, I got a nail file and I... Oh God, no, don't do that. Flattened it off. Take off the sharp edge. Flattened it off because it was annoying. No, I'm a huge fan of a bit of home dentistry. DIY dentistry. Massive fan. Do not do that.

Oh no, I just remembered that my dentist, Lumino, Mount Eden, they listen. Good morning. Oh no, but I have, I've ground down a good chunk of the tooth next to my right big tooth. I can't remember the name of that one. I think you'll find teeth very resilient. Yeah, you'll be fine.

No, my teeth, I've got thin little teeth. You'll have to get a cap. What do they cap it? You have to get a little cap. Oh, no. I saw a slow-mo thing of a tooth this week. My algorithm served me up a slow-mo of a tooth, and it was like, oh, this is what you want to look at for in your teeth. You don't

want this. And it was like brown stuff in the gaps in the middle. That's where you go to the... And I was like, oh, they're just going to polish it. And then they ground it all out and I was like, oh no. And then I looked in the mirror and quite a few of my big teeth were those. Well, it's because you haven't been to the dentist.

You go to the hygienist. And they get right in there, don't they, with the hygienist? Well, no, I'm not talking the gaps in the teeth. I'm talking the dents in the top of the teeth, the chew pads. Oh, yeah, okay. That's what they call that. It's an official dental term there. Chew pads.

Yeah, they do. Yeah, they call them the chew pads. They clean out the chew pads. Somebody said you should get Botox in your jaw. You won't grind your teeth anymore. Well, this is what I thought is because, you know, I've been dabbling with the idea of just a kiss of Botox between the brows. And I thought I could go to a place

and get Botox in the jaw for the grinding and then go like, whoops, and just get to slip some in the brow. Where do they put it? In the jaw? I don't know, because I've got... Like under by your cheeks? Yeah, I reckon it would be up here under the ears.

And then how does that stop you grinding? Because the muscles are relaxed. I'm like this all the time. This is so sore all the time, just under my ears and then why how does that stop you grinding because you the muscles are relaxed because I'm like this all the time this is so sore all the time just under my ears oh because you're always grinding

because I'm always tight oh wow well you should do that then yeah and then that will be the excuse you need yeah and be like oh my god there's a little bit

left in the needle yeah and while you're there move a little bit left a little bit in and doot doot doot play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM.

More financial pain on the way. The reserve bank has risen. The strong-pitting inflation has pushed the reserve. Cost of living. Cost of living crisis. And a recession is inevitable. The official Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Ice Cream Index. Well, in these tough times, we want the biggest ice cream for our buck.

Yep. And the ice cream index by summer, we will have, by Christmas holidays, we will have a map of New Zealand with the biggest and best ice cream stops in the country. This we promise you. Now, today, and we're each day focusing on a different region because some people are worried we've missed their region. But we're making our way slowly but surely across the country. Today, Taranaki.

Yeah, and Iona Dairy is absolutely screaming in, you know, the suggestions for this one. Yeah, I knew that would happen when we started this search. What's so good about it? Just massive ice cream. Really? It's just your standard. It looks like a typical Kiwi dairy on the side of the search. What's so good about it? Just massive ice cream. Really? It's just your standard. It looks like a typical Kiwi dairy. Yep.

On the side of the road. Wow. In town, it's great. Have you heard of the Midhurst dairy? I have, yep. They do a good one. They do a good one. Where's Midhurst?

Oh, that's around the other side. That is just out of Stratford, isn't it? Yeah, by Stratty. Right. We say Stratty. What about your carponga? Your alphams? That's where my mum's family's from.

Your Opunaki. Opunaki, yeah. Oh, by the beach there, there must be someone that does a decent size ice cream. If not, absolutely begging to... Yeah. Be fit.

Well, Iona's on the map, isn't it? Yeah. Without a doubt. Absolutely. She's your classic ice cream rolls. Are the Northern Dairy in Stratford. This is at 91 Broadway in Stratford. Okay, that's on the list.

Yeah, and they might still be looking for people to work there too because the last post on their Facebook page was November 19. They're looking for a kitchen cook. No experience needed. I feel like every shop you walk into now is like, we've got jobs. We've got jobs. This is our one.

Situation's vacant. Do you want a job? No, I just wanted an ice cream. Okay, well if you want a job, you let us know because we've got jobs. I just want a double scoop. You want two jobs? Two jobs? You want to double scoop the job? Tub. So Northern Dairy Stratford, Midhurst Dairy

in Midhurst, just out of Stratford. I own a dairy. Now, I'm surprised this is the first we've heard of it, but somebody said, what about berry farms that do, like, the berry ice creams? We're not doing those. No, sorry. That's not a scoop. They're pumped.

Those things are always. They're so yum. So busy in the summer. I know, but they're so yum. They're so yum. They're so good. But they're not included. We're not taking away anything from them. No, we're not taking away anything, but they're not in the summer. I know, but they're so yum. They're so yum. They're so good. But they're not included. We're not taking away anything from them.

No, we're not taking away anything, but they're not on the list. We're just doing the rolled ice cream. Yeah, sorry. Okura Four Square? Okura, yeah. Okura, sorry. Yeah. Whereabouts is Okura?

Just like 10 minutes out of New Plymouth. Oh, okay. Yeah, beautiful spot. Is that where we stopped there once? Yeah, we've been there. We've been there. We went to a restaurant there. Yeah, we did. Yes, we did. Yes, we've been there. We've been there. We went to a restaurant there. Yeah, we did.

Yes, we did. That looks like a classic Foursquare. Yeah, that's a beautiful Foursquare. Sometimes, you know, sometimes I see Foursquares now and I'm like, hey, you're forgetting your spot. You're supposed to be small, supposed to be absolutely packed to the rafters.

Oh yeah, because I see a big Foursquare and I'm like, stop trying to be a supermarket. Yeah. Calm down. Don't try to be a New World. There's already a New World. You're a Fosker. Yeah.

You're the little fella with the apron on. Yeah, but apparently they do a good ice cream as well if you're out in that neck of the woods. Fantastic. Well, lots to add to the list here for our ice cream. Partier Dairy. Okay. The Dairy and Partier.

Apparently we'll do a good roll of rolled ice cream. That, of course, will need further investigation. That's just, I only had one recommendation, so we can't trust it. I don't think it's quite going to go on the map. We'll need to verify. Maybe we'll do a quick Google search. Partier Dairy and Food. I'm looking now.

I mean, it's got the look of the sort of place that wouldn't know how much ice cream it's dishing out. Like, you know, they get a bit carried away. Generously good. That's what you want. Generous to a fault. That's what you want. No ice cream it's dishing out. Like, you know, they get a bit carried away. Generous, you're good. That's what you want. Generous to a fault. That's what you want. No ice cream photos, though.

On the list. On the list. And we'll continue our search next week for the ice cream index. The Friday flashback is next on the show. Yeah. Vaughan? Yep. Do we know what we're doing?

Nope. It's a surprise to all of us. It's going to be a Christmas song Yep And it's going to be older than 10 years old That's all I've got Well it's that time of the year Where a lot of workplaces are Getting the Christmas bonus or a present

Yes Christmas bonus Like that ever happens Yeah Although I did know someone once That worked in finance And they got like... A massive one.

A massive one. Well... What was the cost? Their soul. Oh yeah, they paid with their soul. Well, there's a massive company. I didn't know this. Citadel?

Citadel? Citadel. It's an American multinational hedge fund and financial services company. Okay. Kenneth C. Griffin is the CEO of Citadel and they have a $50 billion portfolio. He's a big one.

That's a lot of money in hedges. Massive billionaire. I guess everyone's got one. Well, it's because it's full of hogs. Yeah. So he said he's worth himself about $31.7 billion and it makes him the 40th richest person in the world. Oh, wow. Okay.

That's pretty far down the list. Yeah. Shame. Anyway, so they had a stellar year despite a lot of companies not having stellar years. And so he wanted to share the earnings with his employees, of which there are around 10,000.

So in order to thank them, he sent all 10,000 staff and their whole immediate families to Walt Disney World for three days in Florida. That's cool. What? Isn't that amazing?

Everyone's like, best boss ever. 10,000, so that, I mean, you just have to stagger it, I guess. But he basically booked out Disneyland for three days and sent all of his employees there and their families. Happiest place on earth. Yeah. I mean, he is rich. Like, that wouldn't even be a dent. No, it wouldn't be, no.

To this person. But it is, like, he doesn't do this every year. He's not known for these extravagant things. They get little pay rises and stuff like that. But he said, because it was such an incredible year, why should he be the one to just reap the rewards? So he made this gesture. And people are saying, like, that's absolutely incredible.

He's a bloody hero. They had a 17.8% increase. Yeah, right. Which is when you're dealing in the billions. A lot. Yeah. This would be like Ross Boss putting us all at the Bella Vista

over the road from Rainbow's End. Oh, I love a Bella Vista. It would be fantastic. Well, they have a little jug. You get a little jug. Yeah. And a little coffee sachet. You don't need that much water. No, you don a Bella Vista. It would be fantastic. Well, they have a little jug. You get a little jug. Yeah. And a little coffee sachet. You don't need that much water.

No, you don't. The little jug holds just enough. It's plenty. I always clean my undies in that little jug. I know. Yeah, because you can basically steam them. It's a great spot to steam your knickers. At the Bella Vista Rainbow's End.

Yes. Fantastic spot. Anyway. And then we can go across the Valentines. There's still a Valentines. There's still a Valentines. I'm good. And Valentines is great.

Yes. There you go. Anyway, I mean, I know we probably, do we have any billionaires, Kiwis? Yes. Graham Hart's a billionaire, right? Awesome. So I know we probably can't beat this in terms of a gesture from the boss, but we want to know, like, what's your biggest work perk? What's the coolest thing you've got from work?

It doesn't have to be, what, like a bonus or an interview trip. It could be, like, just something you get free. Yeah, what's the perk of working for your work? Maybe you get a sick candy bar. Imagine being like the people that have to go to all the supermarkets with all the Whittakers. You'd get free chocolate, eh? It'd be unlimited, eh? Absolutely.

Oh no, this one fell on the ground. Yeah. I have to eat it. It's broken now. Quality control. But it's like when I recently visited with Plowman's. Oh yeah, like when I recently visited with Ploughmans. Oh, she's on the bridge. She's on the bridge.

I visited the tip-top factory in Christchurch where Ploughmans is made with the freshest local ingredients. I'll tell you what. Anyway, when you leave the area where the workers take off their safety gear and go home for the day, there's just racks and racks of fresh bread, pikelets, crumpets, buns, anything. You can just take it. Oh, great work perk. You just take it.

I know. That's a very carby work perk. It's very carby. You're not going to be too perky if you eat through that minute. You're going to be a little work sad. No, but you're on your feet all day, so you're burning it off at a rapid rate. Bread money over here now, isn't she? Local just tastes better. She won't say a bad thing about bread now while she, there's bread money over here now, isn't she? I know there is, you know, to be honest.

Local just tastes better. She won't say a bad thing about bread now while she's on big bread money. No. So we want to know right now, 0800 DARS at M, you can text as well, 9696. What is your best, hottest, greatest work perk? Yeah, maybe it was a big end of year present. Yeah, it could be a one-off or an ongoing perk that you get for the place that you work. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

We are desperate to know your best work perk, be it an ongoing thing or a one-off. The billionaire CEO has shouted his 10,000 employees and their entire families to a trip to Disneyland. Disney World. I mean, we're not going to beat that. That's insane. No, I don't think we will, but some pretty awesome perks coming through.

Yeah. Kieran, what's your awesome work perk? Morning, team. Morning. Morning. Morning. My missus, she used to manage a liquor store and around Christmas time,

the merchants or the rats or whatever would come in and try and vouch to have their products sort of displayed in the shop and then they would ask what sort of things that they would like to either give away or whatever so my missus asked for like these really expensive radio-controlled cars. And they put them up as a display, and they only lasted for about three or four days. And then they decided that because it sort of promoted a child's toy,

that they couldn't be given away or they couldn't be displayed in the liquor store. So who had to have the remote-controlled cars, Kieran? Well, I've still got them. Yeah. How much fun is a remote-controlled car? Yeah, there's probably about $1,500 worth. Oh, Jesus Christ. Yeah, one was a really good car and one was a boat, so pretty cool.

Okay, yeah, wow. All right, Karen, thanks. I'm a remote control boat. Logan, I know you do. Logan, what's your work perk? One second there, mate. Hang on. We'll all wait, Logan.

He's clicking in the seatbelt. There we go. No, no, just chucking the Bluetooth on. Oh, yeah, my car's slow to do that. Clear Bluetooth, too. It's a clear Bluetooth connection. Yeah, good Bluetooth. Beautiful.

Oh, awesome, mate. The old JBL headphones. Oh, yeah. Unpaid endorsement there. Logan, what's the work perk? So my work perk is free washing and drying of clothes, bedding, towels and what have you. Wait, where do you work?

So I work for a dry cleaning company. Oh, my God. That's so nice. Do you, because I've always wondered this, if you could afford it or you work for a dry cleaning company, could you get everything dry cleaned all the time? If I want to, yeah, I could. Your undies.

Everything. I was told it doesn't take the smell out of things. So with, I mean, certain things you just wouldn't dry clean because of, you know, the different materials. Skitties. You're talking about skids, aren't you? I want to get skids out of my knickers. Can you get skitties out of knickers?

Can you get skids out of your neck? Asking for a friend? Well, we can. We don't usually dry clean undies. We would, because we're also a laundry side of things, we would like wash them and stuff. Right, okay. We can use, like, chemicals and that sort of stuff.

Oh, but you'd never iron it. I'm not a very sensitive vagina though. I'm not going to get a pH imbalance and thus thrush or a UTI. Don't do that to us. Don't do it to us. You would never iron a shirt, Logan, ever. No, no, no, I don't have to do that. We've got like a special like mannequin that you chuck the shirts on

and basically it like blows up, blows hot steam into it and then it basically takes all the creases out. A steam. Because I'm familiar with steaming, but I didn't know you had a little mannequin to chuck it on. Logan, do you do all the hotel sheets? Yeah, we do have a few companies where we do sheets. I feel like we need to get Logan back on for a deep dive.

I'm so curious about dry cleaning. Because I've always wondered with the hotel sheets, you must see some stuff there. Oh, let's not get into it. Let's not see it. Let's not get into it here and now. Let's see if I can tell you. Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no. I think we need to do a dry cleaning deep dive. I've got so many questions for Logan. Tell it. What's your dry cleaning place? Where do you work? Oh, oh. No, you don't want to get that.

Should I give that away? He's trying to think he's on the down low, Hayley. I don't think you want to out him. All right. Well, Logan, Logan, thank you very much. Thank you very much for sharing a great work perk. Sarah, what was your work perk? So I used to work for a travel wholesaler

and every year at the Christmas parties they used to give away prizes. And so I was only like 19 at the time. So I won two business class airfares to Los Angeles. What? And two tickets to Disneyland, two tickets to Universal Studios, and two nights in Anaheim and two nights in Santa Monica.

Goodness me. Oh, my God. That is so cool. That was just one price. Wow. Our work's just done this. They've given away trips to Hawaii to give them an idea, and they didn't like my idea. Bubbly tap?

No cats. A lounge with just cats in it. Okay. And you de-stress in the cat lounge. I would have totally gone for that. Thank you. I didn't win though. I'm not going to Hawaii, am I? The maintenance of the cat

lounge could have been problematic. No, no. I would have. No, we take turns. The workers take turns on the litter boxes. I'm mopping out of the cat. And we have little lint rollers so we don't go back to work with cat fur on us. Oh, my God, perfect. But apparently the iHeart Radio Lounge is for client things and not cats.

Right. Now, I've got to say, I'm with the company. Your idea was short-sighted. And allergies. So many cat allergies. You weed out the weaklings. You could have a little antihistamine bowl

at reception. Yeah, we have a bowl of M&M's and antihistamines. Right, some more text messages in. We've got an all-exclusive trip for our family to Mauritius.

The cost was working for a very eccentric German. Yeah, okay. I think I could handle an eccentric German for a free trip to Mauritius Yeah

Depends on the eccentric German To be fair Yeah because they can get a bit I mean you've got Einstein in one hand And you've got Hitler In the other Yeah

That's a great. Great over summer. It's actually a Yui Boom season. Take it to the beach and annoy everybody else with your terrible music choices. Why not? I know Einstein was Austrian, but he lived in Germany at the leave, didn't he?

Yeah, but he was Austrian. He was Austrian. Please apologise to the Austrian listeners. It's important that this person knows they're smarter than you. Okay, you are smarter than me. Don't be facetious.

I'm too cute. You couldn't put me down. You may be fairly not the hottest person at Christchurch, Les Mills, are you? Now, people have asked why you keep saying that, and that's because the other day Hayley went to Les Mills and said she was the hottest person at Les Mills Christchurch. I didn't say that exclusively on my own. We said. We said that. You also agreed. We were the hottest person at Lees Mills Crunchy Dutch. I didn't say that exclusively on my own. We said.

We said that. You also agreed. We were the hottest people. I mean, there were literally four people there. Yeah. But that was only during the day. You guys go to Auckland Lees Mills and you feel like muck puddles, don't you? Absolute 4.2s.

You know, in olden days movies when it starts, you know, and there's a gentle reflection of old time London and then a horse cart drives through the puddle and it splashes. You're that puddle at Les Mills Auckland. Yeah, right. But Les Mills Christchurch? You were a golden nature stream. Hayley said in her words, I was a 10 that day.

I was an absolute 10. I even sent a video, didn't I? Yeah, Hayley just said, I just saw the hottest dumpy in the gym and then sent me a video of her bomb in the mirror. It was popping. That's a 10. They've just got great mirrors there.

Great mirrors. Great dumpers. Monday maestros, we've got to learn something or do something over the weekend. Do you know what you're doing? Running out of patience

Okay, what have we got to do over the weekend? So, you may be familiar with a famous movie that involves something that went, I would say, quite viral when it came out. Gremlins. We've got to keep the mogwai from getting wet or eating after midnight. Wow. No, coming from Pitch Perfect 1. I hate those movies.

It's not like a cup song. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it because I hate Pitch Perfect. I hate it. I hate Pitch Perfect, but I hate the cup song. And we have a special guest judge. Oh, it better not be Weber Wilson. I hate it. I hate Pitch Perfect, but I hate The Cup Song. And we have a special guest judge. Oh, it better not be Weber Wilson. Anna Kendrick.

Oh. Who hates Anna Kendrick? It's you. No, I don't hate Anna Kendrick. Someone hates Anna Kendrick. I don't hate Anna Kendrick. And I was like, I don't know what she's done to be hated. She's always seemed so sweet.

No, I hate Anne Hathaway. Yeah, you're thinking of Anne Hathaway. Who has also done nothing wrong. And you hate her purely for the reason she wants everyone to say her name, Anne Hathaway. Annie Hathaway of Anne Hathaway. Who has also done nothing wrong. And you hate her purely for the reason she wants everyone to say her name, Anne Hathaway. Annie Hathaway. Annie Hathaway. Yeah, don't exist for so long and then change your name.

Can I subcontract this to my children? That's actually a good call. Can I subcontract this to a call centre somewhere? I'm going to do that. How much will that cost me? Five dollars?

Oh, five a rate. Five a rate. Oh, five a rate. But you'll have to get them here. I can't wait. That's more than five. I cannot wait. Alright, well that is

our Monday Maestro's Challenge. On Monday... Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Some foods have left our shelves this year. Oh, no. The spin-off of Compiled. Don't say it.

Don't say it. We're royalists, aren't we? I'm just going to need a moment. Some food has left our shelves, our supermarket shelves, a list compiled by the spinoff. Firstly, tip-top goody-goody gumdrops, two-litre ice cream, and cookies and cream, of course. That's gone because they needed to prioritise the ice cream machines

to make more popular two-litre tubs. Sad. Are you telling me there's something more popular than a two-litre tub of goody-goody gumdrops? Or cookies and cream? Wild, isn't it? Yeah. It's a pandemic.

Le Snacks. Yeah. Yes. 34 years after the absolute dominance of the lunchbox market. And producer Jared, remember, he'd have a list snack every morning with his Red Bull and his bubblegum vape. Yeah, this one hurt. This one really hurt, guys.

Have you found a replacement? No, nothing's come close. Did you get the flowers we sent, though? Yeah, thank you, guys. It's tough for you, mate. You're welcome. Ernest Adams. Oh, my God, yes.

All encompassing. The whole lot gone. The whole lot gone. The raspberry slice was one of them, wasn't it? I'm feeling it this time of year because Ernie, as I like to call him, Ernie, close friends, Ernie did a wicked Christmas mince tart. A wicked. A wickedly talented Christmas mince tart.

A wicked Christmas mince tart. Wicked Christmas mince tart. Along, of course, with the raspberry slice. Yeah, that's beautiful. And all the other Ernest Adams goodies. Airwaves gum, gone. Is it? I haven't had chewing gum for so long. My mum used to eat airwaves gum in the 90s

because she knew we wouldn't steal it because we couldn't hack it. It was too much, wasn't it? It was like a Listerine strip. That's why dads eat Oddfellows. Yes. Because you never touch them. And Snifters.

But then when something is only getting eaten by dads, it's not selling enough units to remain a viable option for these big companies. Starburst lollies. That's right. Yes. Starburst chews. All of them.

Delicious. The two-headed anaconda. Jelly beans. Starburst. Yeah. Gone. But not forgot.-headed anaconda. Jelly beans. Starburst. Yeah. Gone. But not forgot. Not forgot.

Anne Heche as well. I don't think we're going into celebrity dance. I don't know we're doing things you eat. Oh, okay. Not Anne Heche. Not people who had relationships with Ellen DeGeneres. And thought they were an alien. Correct.

And last, but probably the most famously, Coke Zero. That's right. Coke Zero. Coke probably the most famously, Coke Zero. That's right. Coke No Sugar. Coke No Sugar emerged to become Coke Zero Sugar. We're all drinking the Coke No Sugar and we've forgotten about Coke Zero. I haven't forgotten about Coke Zero. Haven't you? I just thought it was the same.

Yeah. It's like slight difference, but you just deal with it, right? Gave me runny poos. Anybody else? Yeah, plenty. During the transition period. During the transition period. During the transition period from Coke Zero

to Coke Zero Sugar. What's the artificial sweetener? There was a runny poos. It was runny poos. Yeah. Okay. Has your body got used to it now? I think it's evolving, yes.

Okay, good. Slowly getting used to it. Here we go. All right, babe. Terrible year. You sure there's some others that have fallen through the gaps? Send in your sadness.

A lot of companies did. They used the, well, gaps. Send in your sadness. Well, a lot of companies did. They used the, well, I mean, obviously the supply issues, but a lot of companies did use this as a way to downsize, especially packets. We've lost a few mils and litres and grams. Oh, we certainly have. What do they call that? The term shrinkflation.

Shrinkflation. Shrinkflation. Yeah. Someone said pods. When did we lose pods? Oh, we did lose pods. Yeah, before. Our pods discontinued.

Yes. The rumors are true. Pods have been discontinued. I'm sorry, that was 2021. Oh. But, you know, time's a construct. Can that person message back

and apologize, please? Someone said, I haven't seen barbecue Doritos. Oh. Barbecue Doritos discontinued. Let me have that to Google. I want Cool Ranch Doritos Back

Good Lord. Worse than a festival toilet, I reckon. They burn them, right? They're single use. They're single use disposables. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Ooh. I've got to share something ooh with you

so you know fairy bread classic a party classic margarine white bread sprinkles yeah but white bread crusts cut off

cut into diamonds so each slice of bread can diamonds yeah do four pieces of fairy bread margarine usually yeah because it's easier to spread butter if you poach

and sprinkles. Sometimes honey can be put under, but that's not the traditional way. Oh, no, that's not traditional. Already sweet enough. Well, there was a kid in Australia who had been in a party and had experienced fairy bread for the first time because their mother is somewhat of a health influencer. Oh, okay.

Oh, God, what a horrible house to grow up in. A sugar-free, fun-free food. I feel like if I was raised in that kind of house, that would just make me turn to lollies when I was a teenager. Totally. It's your version of smoking.

You'd be like, oh my God, I'm going to go out the back of the house and hoon a couple of fizzy Coke bottles. Yum. Anyway, so the kid was like, Mom my God, I'm going to go out the back of the house and hoon a couple of fizzy Coke bottles. Yum. Anyway, so the kid was like, Mom, can you make me some fairy bread? And the mother was like, absolutely not. That is the most unhealthy thing. She said, oh, I can make you some.

And she tried to do a healthy version. There's always these healthy versions of like good sweet foods nowadays. So she said, oh, I can do that. And the way she has done it has caused absolute outrage. So she got some desiccated coconut. Yep. And then she got together some vegetables, which she grated. So say she got carrots, courgettes, and beetroot. Three different colours. You see where I'm going with this?

Yeah, I'm ready, Pink. And then she grated each one individually, wrung it out into a bowl just to have the juice of it, and then tossed the desiccated coconut through that, and then let it air dry

so that the coconut was different colours. Different colours, then let it air dry so that the coconut was... Different colours. Different colours. Then mixed it all together so it didn't blend and then put that on bread with a little bit of butter. Wait, so she still had white bread? Still had white bread, still had a little bit of butter. I thought she would have gone for a multigrain or a sourdough.

Yeah, I know. Is she a health queen? That's my question. And then so instead of having delicious sugar sprinkles, her kid got vegetable-flavored coconut shreds on bread. Yuck. And everyone was like, no. I wonder if the government could go to the courts,

get that kid taken off the parents. I reckon we should just do this. Just so we can give them some fairy bread. Oh, God, she used purple cabbage as well. For God's sake. Just give your kid fairy bread ones. Just sugar, right? Yeah, but are they even sugar?

Are they even that sugary, though? Well, you don't put that much on. No. One slice of... Sprinkles are made from corn syrup, sugar, corn starch, wax, and artificial flavours and colours. But how much made from corn syrup, sugar, corn starch, wax, and artificial flavors and colors. But how much sugar would be in like a sprinkle? Oh my God.

Even just like a teaspoon. Not that much, surely. You can feed your kids some healthy food, but every now and then if they want some fairy bread, there's only one way to do it. Yeah. It's with sprinkles, not vegetable coconut. Do you know hundreds and thousands are only called hundreds and thousands

in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK? What are they called? Non-pariels. But what are they called in? Non-pariels. In the US? Non-pariels. That's what it said.

The rest of the world know them as non-pariels. Hundreds and thousands. Germany was the birthplace of non-pariels. We're getting a free fact of the day here. They were called Lebenssprirle and love pearls. Oh. Invented by Rudolf Hoenkes. Hoenkes had a conversation with his wife proclaiming that he loved her like these pearls,

the nonpareil. Unsure of what to call the treat, he called them love pearls. So one teaspoon of hundreds and thousands has 57 calories. Yeah, but that's like... Sorry, that's a tablespoon. You'd only put like a... I reckon you'd have a tablespoon on the whole... On a whole slice.

Yeah. And that's enough. It's had 4.5 million views, this TikTok, by the way. A lot of people are commenting being like, dude, like it's by the way. A lot of people are commenting being like, dude, like, it's a party food. Yeah. You know, like, obviously don't give it to them every day, but, like, let them have some sprinkles.

Another person said, I'm calling my mum just to tell her that I appreciate her. Yeah. Good old mum, eh? I know. I do apologise. In Australia, they just call them sprinkles. Right. In the US and Canada, those are just called sprinkles. That's what I wondered.

I didn't think the Americans would use a posh word. We call them hundreds and thousands. Americans call them sprinkles. And also jimmies. And the UK calls them jazzies. But sprinkles are different to hundreds and thousands. Sprinkles are a little long. Hundreds and thousands are little dots.

Yeah. Yeah, sprinkles are long, but they don't. They might just say round sprinkles. Now I feel like a hundreds and thousands biscuit. Those biscuits, they're like in my top five. They're like top three for me, yeah. If you liked today's podcast, tell your
