Starting point is 00:00:00 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, Grabber Rich, Smooth, Barista Made Coffee. Post-show, Hayley's just popped off to the great New Zealand baking show. Yeah, baking, cookie cutter, scones and slices. Wraps up filming on Sunday. She's promised to bring us in treats from Sunday's wrap
Starting point is 00:00:26 so hopefully that's a cake day. Or a biscuit day at least. It's gotta be right. It's gotta be right. Final's gotta be cake day. Yeah, because I'm craving lately, I don't know why, I've been craving a cinnamon scroll. A really well made, well iced cinnamon scroll.
Starting point is 00:00:42 Okay. Like a glaze option? Yeah, it's got a glaze or an icing either way. Yeah, a glaze is good. Why not both? A glazing and a good dollop of icing. Would they be hard to make?
Starting point is 00:00:55 Maybe I could try to make some this weekend. Dude, cinnamon scrolls. My nanny used to nail a cinnamon scroll. She used to make them pinwheels, like a bit smaller. But you can make them bigger. You just roll it and then you cut it and stack them in the dish and then... You could totally do it.
Starting point is 00:01:10 I believe in you. Okay. Totally believe in you. And it is our post-show now. I now have four positive COVID cases in the household. We have a full Smith infestation, ladies and gentlemen. Which is... The whole clan.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Yeah, the kids have... The girls have tested positive this morning which is kind of good because then it's not going to drag on it's 10 days it's crazy that it's
Starting point is 00:01:32 10 days since I got home pretty much and Indy's just tested positive like we've been testing them night and day because they went
Starting point is 00:01:39 back to school yesterday ha ha ha great because that's what the government guideline says and then this morning Indy's dark line
Starting point is 00:01:46 was so quick. So dark. Yeah. She's riddled. And then August has got a faint line. So yeah, we're,
Starting point is 00:01:53 I mean, look at this. This is literally how, I'll show you how dark it came up immediately. Oh yeah. I had a real dark line too, which made me feel like
Starting point is 00:02:00 I was more diseased because everyone else when they were putting their tests online were like really light and red. And I was like thick, like a vivid had drawn it. And I was like I was more diseased because everyone else when they were putting their tests online were like really light and red. And I was like thick, like a vivid had drawn it. And I was like, oh my God, I'm riddled.
Starting point is 00:02:11 I had nothing. And then 12 hours later, I had a thick line, like August. I've held August up there barely, but a faint line. This is enough of a faint line. Chris Hipkins put up his faint line. He's like, this is enough for me to obviously isolate. Yeah. Good times. Oh, well oh well yes here we go
Starting point is 00:02:28 fun fun thank you lee good morning welcome to the show fleets vaughn and hayley it's two minutes past six morning coming from home hayley and Vaughan, again this morning. Yep. Yep. This is my house. This is mine. This is my exposed beam.
Starting point is 00:02:52 It's a good exposed beam. Well, it's not meant to be exposed. It's just, it's a laminated beam, and it's got to have a council inspection before it can be closed in, you see. So it's not like you're beautiful exposed beam. I think they just come and give it a tap, and they're like, oh, yeah, that'll hold. Right, but why haven't they been yet?
Starting point is 00:03:09 Because that's been like that. Oh, no, no, no. We put it up, but it still had a moisture reading, so you have to leave it exposed for a little bit for the moisture to leak out. Also, your house is riddled with COVID. I don't think the council wants to be going in and tapping on wood in there. No, no, no.dled with COVID. I don't think the council wants to be going in and tapping on wood
Starting point is 00:03:26 in there. No, no, no. They'll stay right away from their tapping at the moment. Alright, coming up on the show this morning, more free fuel for grabs at 8 o'clock with our retro petrol time machine. And joining us on the show today is Jeff Goldblum,
Starting point is 00:03:42 the one and only. And now, is he coming into studio? Oh, no, no, no, he's not. He's coming to my house because he actually works for the council. He's going to tap the beam. He's going to tap the beam, that's good. Tap the beam and then hang around for an interview. I feel like that's a gag.
Starting point is 00:03:55 If he was in New Zealand, he'd be down to do. Absolutely. It's very eccentric. Very much tapping a beam. Jurassic World Dominion is out today in cinemas. June 9th. Today is the day. You can get your tickets now.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Book your seats. Jeff Goldblum on the show with us this morning after 8 o'clock. Yep. The top six is coming up. Well, the South Island of New Zealand has been named the top place in the world for Americans to travel, which is great news for our tourism industry. They've been absolutely gagging for people to get back. So when people can come back,
Starting point is 00:04:29 apparently Americans are going to be flooding in. I've got the top six things we cannot tell Americans about. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Trend alert? Have we got some sort of sting? Trend alert. Trend alert. Well, we can get of sting? Trend alert? Trend alert?
Starting point is 00:04:45 Well, we can get one made. We've got to put in a request, though. I'm often dropping the trends, making people aware of what's trending. Okay, well, what would you like me to put in the form? Some kind of siren? Yeah, yeah. Woo, woo, woo, woo.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Trend alert. Okay, and it says trend alert. Would you like the trend alert to be like a computer voice? Yeah, yeah, make it really formal. I want trend alert to be Nicki Minaj. And then it goes trend alert, sound the alarm. Because nothing's trendier than an old Nicki Minaj song. Yeah, I was going to say, gosh, that's quite a trendy reference.
Starting point is 00:05:19 It's timeless. Timeless. Nicki Minaj. Timeless. When I think of timeless beauty, you know, I think of Cleopatra. I think of Nicki Minaj. Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe, yeah. And Nicki Minaj.
Starting point is 00:05:34 When you think about what we'll be listening to in 50, 60, 70 years, it's going to be Nicki Minaj. Oh, it's 100% going to be Starships. I'm going to have that at my funeral when I'm 80. Anyway, trend alert, trend alert. I'm calling attention to a new trend that's happening on TikTok and Instagram. It's called gym lips. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:57 G-Y-M-L-I-P-S, in case you're confused what gym lips are. And apparently it's a makeup look for the game. Now, typically, and this is out, I know this is probably outrageous, this is not very trendy for the woman who often drops the trend alerts. But I rock a beer face to the gym. I see girls at the gym all the time in makeup
Starting point is 00:06:18 and I'm just like, not a lot, but just enough that you can tell they're wearing it and you're just like, no. This is very unpopular, but I don't know why, but I go to the gym to exercise. And I know it's just sort of a stupid thing, I guess, that I do. It's just I'm there to exercise and, you know, for my health. But I've never slept on a face specifically for the gym.
Starting point is 00:06:37 But maybe I will try these gym lips. Well, I actually wear a prosthetic makeup to make myself less attractive at the gym because I am there to work out. Get the eyes off you. Not to be absolutely, you know, lapped up. You're sick of being pestered, aren't you? So you're making yourself look unattractive.
Starting point is 00:06:51 It's endless pestering. Yeah. People always stopping you on the cross trainer mid-sweat. Just to ask you if you've, am I dead? Because I'm seeing an angel or something. Have you ever been hurt when you fall from heaven? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have I died and gone to heaven? Please, Crystal, just let me get on with my cardio. I don't an angel or something. Have you ever heard any four from heaven? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have I died and gone to heaven?
Starting point is 00:07:05 Please, Crystal, just let me get on with my cardio. I don't need to be interrupted. Please, I just want 20 minutes. Well, gym lips, it's part of the clean girl aesthetic. Okay. As opposed to, I guess, heroin chic, the dirty girl look. It's a two-minute makeup look. You get a lip pencil, the same exact colour as your lips,
Starting point is 00:07:25 and you overdraw your lips. Think Kylie Jenner, you know, subtle overdrawing of the lip. And then you chuck on a lip balm and voila, gym lips. Well, I use lip balm all the time, even when I'm at the gym. So have I got gym lips? No, no, no. You're missing the overdrawing your lip oh to make it look like you've got naturally sort of got fillers wait so you get fillers is this a british trend is this a
Starting point is 00:07:51 british trend alert it's got 200 000 um likes on oh really the social meds gym lips when you over line your lips isn't it obvious though? Because like. Yes, Vaughn. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. It's not obvious if you. Yeah. It's not obvious if you were just taking a photo maybe and you're going like, hmm, gym notes. But the moment you see like, you just,
Starting point is 00:08:17 mine's hard because it gets sort of caught up in the hairs on the upper lip, the pencil. So I've got to go more under. Right. Yeah, it's very obvious when someone overdraws their lips. Yeah, because I remember when those Kylie Jenner lip kits were coming out and people were like, oh, the secret is you just keep drawing your lips
Starting point is 00:08:32 and some people's lips went like almost to their nose. Yeah. You look like a damn fool. Yeah, I know. But if you're doing it for the social maid, give gym lips a go. Well, thank you for that trend alert. What a trend alert. Wow, amazing, amazing. Alright Well, thank you for that trend alert. Hayley, what a trend alert. Wow, amazing, amazing.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Alright, next time you drop a trend alert, we'll have an intro. Shortages. There's a shortage of everything. Our dog's preferred dog food wasn't available at the supermarket. Well, I just screamed at somebody. I just yelled at them. I thought, you stack the shelves, this is your fault. Prepare to wear it. You are, of course. Did you take down a whole shelf? Yeah, I tipped a whole lot down. I just yelled at them. I thought, you stack the shelves. This is your fault. Prepare to wear it.
Starting point is 00:09:06 You are, of course. Did you take down a whole shelf? Yeah, I tipped a whole lot down. I was like, it's got to be back here somewhere, you bastards. And I was just like losing my mind. Obviously, for those that don't pick up on subtle sarcasm. Which is a shocking number of listeners, isn't it? It is.
Starting point is 00:09:24 You, of course, did not abuse the poor supermarket staff and a lot of retail staff are going through hell at the moment because, yeah, things... Oh, no, no, no, I did. I definitely did. Oh, you did? Oh, you did. Okay, good. Don't excuse my behaviour, please. I look back now, retrospectively, I see it was absolutely the incorrect way to behave,
Starting point is 00:09:41 but I did do it. No, I didn't. I just said, oh, you don't have any blah, blah and dog food. No one gets a freebie around here, by the way. The dog food's not getting a free mention. They've never sent us free dog food. They're not getting a freebie. And they said, oh, no, it's a supply issue.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I said, oh, that's all right. And they said, my dog usually eats that too, but it quite enjoys this one. And they were dead right. I tell you what, Lulu lapped it up. She's a fussy old thing. Well, Lulu's nearly dead. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:06 So I think it probably doesn't know what it's eating. She's pretty fine. She's going to start eating her own paws off. But I remember reading that at the end of last year. Like a lot of the pet food manufacturers were like, oh, there are going to be shortages. So I got a couple of big bags. Oh, did you?
Starting point is 00:10:22 I started stocking up and hoarding. You panic purchased. I panic purchased. bags. Oh, did you? I started stocking up and hoarding. You panic purchased. I panic purchased. Yeah. Yeah, good stuff. I just cook up Rolly a beautiful eye fillet every day, and he's all right with it. He's a young nice.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Shouldn't you give a cat uncooked meat? You're cooking the fillet. No, no, I keep it pretty medium rare. More towards rare. Right, okay. Yeah, okay. Well, in Australia, there's a shortage. It's lettuce.
Starting point is 00:10:48 It's not a COVID thing as much as it was a weather thing, so a global warming thing. So if it's not the pandemic that's going to get us, it's global warming, guys. Don't forget about that. So it's the extreme rain, which is in the last 12, because I don't know if you've seen, Australia has had so many floods.
Starting point is 00:11:05 So much rain. New South Wales so many floods. So much. New South Wales had more floods. They had more rain in like three weeks than they usually get in the entire year. It's just insane. So Queensland and New South Wales, their farming areas were massively affected, meaning that lettuce couldn't. Got a bit waterlogged. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Lettuce needs hot, dry conditions. You know, it needs water, but it doesn't need three foot of water, which it's under it. So they've decided. Are you eating a lozenge? No, no. I just got COVID. Just got a sticky mouth.
Starting point is 00:11:39 And then I thought, I'm about to talk about fast food, so the saliva glands have really kicked in. I was really, kind of, you could hear it. Yeah. Fast food outlets that use lettuce on their burgers are using a temporary blend of lettuce and cabbage. Cabbage? Oh, cabbage is not like for like. But would you have to steam a cabbage?
Starting point is 00:12:01 Like if you had shredded cabbage where you would have shredded lettuce, it would have to be steamed. No one's stealing a cabbage to put on their burger. That's so gross. It's too hard. It's not like lettuce. Yuck. It's very fibrous. Yeah. It's coleslaw. You're effectively
Starting point is 00:12:18 getting the main ingredient of coleslaw. Yeah. But it's not covered in mayo though, is it? It's the only time cabbage is good. Well, that's what they're saying. They're saying there might be a slight rejig of burger ingredients. In this case, I'm imagining it would be an absolute slathering of Japanese mayo because you scoff at cabbage until you remember how good cabbage is
Starting point is 00:12:38 absolutely covered in Japanese mayo. Delicious. I saw there was a nutritionist who was like, screw lettuce anyway. It's got no nutritional value. It's just water and crunch. And then her alternative suggestion was like buying those frozen pellets of wilted spinach.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I was like, imagine going to get like a Filet-O-Fish with lettuce and they've put a big frozen cube of wilted spinach in there instead. It's a no. It's a no from me. For the fibre. For the fibre instead. It's a no. It's a no from me. For the fibre. For the fibre intake. It's a no from me.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Hard no from me. Australia is also just saying they've released a list of vegetables that will be in shortage due to this. So you've got lesbian cucumbers, kale, fresh herbs. Oh, sorry. Bournemouth? Yeah. Lebanese.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Beg your pardon? No, these are lesbian cucumbers. Excuse me, Hayley, not in Pride Month, are not? There's a lesbian cucumber. I beg your pardon? They're being recognised for the allies that they are. Zucchini, beans, tomatoes, capsicum, berries. Oh, berries.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Broccoli and spinach. Berries? Berries? What else? So, yeah, there's... Oh, and the ones People aren't sad There's a sporadic Shortage in
Starting point is 00:13:47 Kale, silverbeet And bok choy Which Yeah Yeah That's trash It's green trash It's trashy green trash
Starting point is 00:13:56 So Those problems Not in New Zealand Because we haven't Had the floods And the rain But Maybe anything
Starting point is 00:14:03 If we import them But lettuce is Exp expensive at the moment anyway because it's gone back to all the indoor hydroponic stuff. Right. This is more your cabbage time of the year. It's the time for the brassicas to shine, guys. It's the time of winter. It's time for the brassicas to be like, hey, remember us.
Starting point is 00:14:17 So your cat's missing out on food and so are the Aussies. Gosh. Aussie, eh? They're either on fire or underwater. But everybody's still moving there. Tough place. Well, everyone's excited. They're talking, aren't they? Love Island's back.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Now... Streaming in New Zealand on Neon, I believe. Yes. In the interest of offering opinions from all sides of the spectrum, I am not excited about Love Island. I also, I gave that a lot of energy to intro it. I'm also not excited about Love Island.
Starting point is 00:14:53 You gave it big energy. I don't think it needs, it doesn't need us, though. It always does well without us. I've never been a Love Islander, and it seems to be doing quite well for itself. I'd like to congratulate it. Yes, congratulations. Fletch, excited?
Starting point is 00:15:04 Love Island? Sure. Well, for the Fletch excited. Love it. Sure. Well, for the other side of the spectrum, producer Jared, last night, you watched your first episode. Oh, yeah. It was a good one. Really good one.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Everybody that I know that does watch it, they know that they're in for the long haul because there are a lot of episodes. Yeah. So you know what you're biting off here. Yeah. So, like, normally when the midi watches these kind of shows,
Starting point is 00:15:26 I'll not be interested, but then, like, I'll see it in the corner of my eye and slowly get dragged into it. Yeah. But this year, I was like, bugger it, let's just go all in. Because of the hot people?
Starting point is 00:15:35 Yeah, and just the drama. Just the drama. That's my least favorite part, that scripted drama. I hate it. Any show like that where you can tell there's a producer behind the scenes being like, get in there and tell
Starting point is 00:15:50 them that one of them did a poop. I don't know. This is why I wouldn't be the producer of a reality show. You would be a terrible producer of a reality show. I hate that scripting. Wasn't your wife into the first few seasons? Like everybody was? Yes. I think it was the first few seasons? Like everybody was? Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I think it was the first or the second she got pretty deep into. But the, was, because what's this, the fourth? Of the British one? I think. Jesus. Okay, she hasn't watched that many. She might have watched two seasons. She hasn't been into it for a few though. Yeah, I feel like it lost a few people. But what was the first
Starting point is 00:16:21 episode like? Really, really enjoyable. There's, like, for the first two episodes there Really, really enjoyable. For the first two episodes, there's some stuff I don't quite enjoy. I feel a bit cringe watching it, like all the matching stuff. But they did something a little bit different this year, and I'm all for it. What did they do?
Starting point is 00:16:37 Can you tell us, or is it a spoiler? I guess I could tell you. Instead of getting all the girls to pick which dude they liked, they paired them up due to public voting. Oh, so the public chose rather than them. And there were some unhappy ladies. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Wait. Why were they unhappy? Did they not have the hottest boy or something? Yeah, isn't he hot on Love Island? Yeah, I thought everybody had a banging rig. Yeah, they've all got banging rigs, but, you know, one rig might not be one person's cup of tea, whereas another rig might be. And one dude rocked up wearing Crocs, so...
Starting point is 00:17:15 I really feel like everyone on Love Island is drinking from the same cup of tea. Yeah, like, everybody's hot. Because I read... I read, like, there were 100,000 applicants online. They only chose three because it already shoulder-tapped, like everybody's hot. Because I read like there were 100,000 applicants online. They only chose three because they'd already shoulder tapped like all the hot influencers or they'd already kind of picked everybody from Instagram.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I read something about, do they have their, is there a deaf contestant? Yep. I can't remember her name, but she was born deaf and now has an implant. Yeah, right. Cochlear. That's amazing. See, I'd like to, I'm emotional and now has an implant. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. Cochlear. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:46 That's amazing. See, I'd like to... I'm emotional about the cochlear implant. You are, yeah, I can tell. See, I'd like to hear more about the cochlear implant, but I'm guessing they're not going to do a full episode on how that works on Love Island, are they? No, I think they tease it in the first episode
Starting point is 00:18:00 to get you hooked, and then we find out how it works later. Well, they shouldn't tease her. It's not her fault. I don't think that's a great thing to do. No, no, no, I think it's sort of, you know, to sort of get their attention.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Yeah. Ah, gotcha. Not taunting her. Right. I wouldn't have thought that would have been a good look for Love Island. Okay, so you're hooked now though?
Starting point is 00:18:14 I'm pretty hooked. There was a intruder last night. Oh. Jared. Intruder on Ep 1. Also last night there was a new episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi
Starting point is 00:18:24 on Disney+. Have you watched that yet? No. Also, last night there was a new episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. Have you watched that yet? No. Jared, I am taking away your Star Wars membership. You're losing your nerd friend, Vaughn, to Love Island. I like this. I'm taking back his membership. He doesn't get to be a nerd anymore.
Starting point is 00:18:37 I'm having a little look at some of the contestants. You know, their little profiles. Of course, they're quite young, aren't they? Don't you have a friend, Va a friend born that lives on a small island and there's someone from that small island on Love Island? The Channel Islands are a group of islands between England and France and Guernsey. My friend Auburn lives on Guernsey
Starting point is 00:18:55 and he said it's a small island and there's some guy on Love Island from Guernsey and everybody's talking about it, about how he's going to bring shame to the island. How many people live on this island? They managed to find one hot person. Well, that one hot person's had to leave the island. So the average, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:14 the average looks of the island have plummeted. Right. I will say Mr. Guernsey, who I'm looking at here, Andrew Lepage, I'd say he's least hottest. Oh, okay. Because the island was so small. Very small. Very small.
Starting point is 00:19:31 The ladies, they all look, you know, about 10 different varieties of the same woman. Oh, good, good. It's got to keep scrolling being like, no, I've seen her. Oh, no, that's not her. That's her point of view. Two point I.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Well Jetstar are about to celebrate their 13th birthday. 13 years. Happy birthday Jetstar. Off to high school. Off to high school. Not talking to mum and dad. They wouldn't understand. Yes, they're slamming the doors, talking back. I can't wait till this happens to Bourne. Did they take over somebody?
Starting point is 00:20:12 No, they didn't take over. They just moved. They just came in. It was like we had like, I think there were like more Qantas flights here. Yeah, Qantas was flying. Maybe Virgin as well. Were they flying a little bit around New Zealand? A little bit.
Starting point is 00:20:25 And then Jetstar came in and then there was a duopoly. And they started with a I think they had like 6,000 seats for like zero dollars. But then they were late by like an hour. And that's how they got that bad reputation. But they're on top of that now.
Starting point is 00:20:41 And the promotion that they are doing for their birthday, if you're born on the 13th of June, which is when Jetstar launched, and I miss out by 10 days, then you will be eligible for a $100 Jetstar voucher.

Starting point is 00:23:24 A, he's dead. No, he couldn't fold in. B, he's tall. Nah, dead. I know, I know he's dead, yeah. And he was tall. A, he's dead. No, he couldn't fall in. B, he's tall. Nah, they wouldn't. Yeah. Well, anyway, if you're June 10, the website to go to to claim your free flight is jetstarbirthday.co.nz.
Starting point is 00:23:35 That's non-spawn as well, non-spawn, but it's a good idea. Good idea from them. If I was them, I'd also work in the, I'd work in the clause that you have to do the Jetstar jump for a promo photo. Maybe they'll ask. But they are having a big sale as well, so there's something in it for everybody.
Starting point is 00:23:50 That's lovely, isn't it? Non-spawn again. Non-spawn. Hashtag non-spawn. Give them a freebie. Non-spawn. No Coral Lounge, though. No pastries.
Starting point is 00:24:00 I mean, you can BYO pastries. It works out cheaper than a lounge pass, doesn't it, really? Yeah, it definitely does. Well, it depends how often you're flying and how many pastries you eat. I wouldn't imagine I'd have to take more than two or three flights to actually make it more expensive. Yeah, well, some people steal bottles of wine, don't they? I've got... That's disgusting behaviour.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Absolutely disgusting. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Hi there. The South Island of New
Starting point is 00:24:36 Zealand has been named as the best place in the world for Americans to visit. I said 2023 before, but this is in 2022. Good, yeah. it's open. We're open. We're open. Come on over.
Starting point is 00:24:48 You need the old snus test to get into New Zealand, but for the guy who tested positive on arrival to New Zealand but negative the day before. Waste of time. Waste of time. Some would say a waste of time. Some would say an absolute waste of time. So, excuse me, that's just still the COVID doing that part.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Disney strain. So there was 1,100 destinations apparently, and New Zealand, South Island came out on top as a sort of a one-stop shop for everything you could need. That's great news. Paris was in second place, Hawaiian Island, Maui in third, French Polynesian Islands of Bora Bora and Tahiti.
Starting point is 00:25:26 London, Rome, Turks and Caicos. Turks and Caicos. Beautiful. That's where the Kardashians always go. Yeah, they love to go there. Tokyo and the Maldives rounded out the top 10. But the South Island of New Zealand, number one. That's so good.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Good work, us. So I've got the top six things we can't tell the Americans about. Okay. Number six on the list is because it's hard enough to get in there already. Onsen hot pools. Oh, you tell me that. Nobody tag anybody
Starting point is 00:25:57 in an onsen. Don't put up any photos. Don't. Like you literally even months out you can't book for your weekend in Queenstown, eh? It's so hard to get in there. Why you gotta book? It's really hard. Monstrously ahead. So with Americans getting up
Starting point is 00:26:13 in the mix. Yeah, book far away. Far in advance. Don't tell the Americans. Don't tell the Americans. Number five on the list of the top six things we can't tell the Americans about. The giant Springfield donut. Oh, yeah. They'll probably start to eat it.
Starting point is 00:26:29 They'll try to eat it. That's the problem. They just can't help themselves. You know what Americans are like with donuts? Yeah. Especially if it's a traveling American police officer. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Get that man a 200-liter drum of coffee. He's got a mission ahead of him. Try to eat it. Number four on the list of the top six things we can't tell the Americans about, Castle Street in Dunedin. That's more of a... A safety thing, really, isn't it? Safety thing.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I was going to say secret shame. Okay. I'll probably double down and say secret shame. Yeah. Can look a little third worldy down on Castle Street, can't it? It's pretty rough. Yeah. Can look a little third worldy, especially if they're coming can't it? It's pretty rough. Yeah. Can look a little third-worldy.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Especially if they're coming in the colder months, there may have been some outdoor fires. Yeah. While we're down there, just over the hill is number three on the top six things we can't tell the Americans about. The Mosgill Hollywood-esque sign. Oh, yeah. A. Well, I was going to say it's embarrassing, but B.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Also, I feel like there could be some Hollywood litigious action taken. Oh yeah, they don't like people ripping off their sign, do they? No. Did Wellington get permission? That's why they made theirs only 80% similar. They made theirs different
Starting point is 00:27:36 because they didn't want... Yeah, because you can't use the same font, right? It can't look the same. And you can't have something wood. Yeah. That was a big one as well. You couldn't do like Wally Wood and make it look like the Hollywood sign. They had a big problem with that.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Even if you were there, if you went to LA and you were filming, say you were filming a TV show, you'd have to get the rights. You'd have to pay to have that in your production. You can't just film it. I mean as a Joe Bloggs you can just for your home photo collection. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:05 You're crazy. But not in Molesgill. Can't use the Molesgill one. Number two on the list of the top six things we can't tell the Americans about, the Canterbury panther. You know that big black cat that roams the Canterbury panther? Where's that been lately? There have been no sightings.
Starting point is 00:28:23 It's been a little quiet, but I feel like they'll hunt it and shoot it and kill it. You know how Americans get with their hunting. Their guns. Yeah, they'll turn it into a hat. Yeah. Let it roam. Let it be feeding on the odd sheep here and there. And number one on the list of the top six things we can't tell the Americans about, the Fairley Pie Shop. Oh yeah, no, don't tell them
Starting point is 00:28:40 about that. It's a national treasure. It's a secret. The pies are so good. It could be enough to kickstart the pie, the meat pie in America. You know how they don't do meat pies? Yeah. They do sweet pies. Lots of sweet pies, but no meat pies. Why? They don't do a meat pie, so let's not.
Starting point is 00:28:56 That's our little secret. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Alright, listen up you green token smokers you grass loving hippy dippy
Starting point is 00:29:12 doodahs I don't know guys. It's not working for me It's not yeah it's not coming naturally to you. Yeah I'm sorry look I'm more of a wine girl what can I say Yeah that's your drug of choice That's my drug of choice is Pinot Noir. But apparently, if you toke it up,
Starting point is 00:29:31 if you pass that... You can just say if you smoke weed. Just say if you smoke marijuana. If you smoke weed on a regular basis, there could be some trouble in your relationship, especially if both of you, oh my God, imagine, are weed smokers, because apparently some new research,
Starting point is 00:29:47 I mean, apparently, we all knew this, new research from Rutgers University found that marijuana users are slower to pick up on potentially problematic dynamics in their relationships, their romantic relationships. Oh, yeah, we've all known a stoner that can't see the writings on the wall, right? And then when they get broken up with
Starting point is 00:30:08 because they've maybe been a bit useless, they're like, what? Yeah, they don't see this coming. I've been absolutely blindsided. Because they've just been in a haze of, yeah, weed the whole time. Apparently the way that cannabis users perceive their approaches
Starting point is 00:30:25 to like fighting, resolving fights, different conflicts, they perceive it as being really effective, where in reality, no, no, no, not going well. It's not. This is a weird study that they did though. They took 145 couples and they put they put them, and in each relationship there was at least one cannabis user. So some of them there were two and one
Starting point is 00:30:50 there was one. And they kind of manufactured arguments. So they interviewed them and got to individually talk about areas that are of common conflict in their relationship, be it like finance or sex or...
Starting point is 00:31:05 Incorrectly loading the dishwasher. Yeah, whatever it was. And then they got them together and they basically like, you know, spoke to bear and got them to fight. And then they sort of looked from that how they were perceiving how the fight went, how they performed in the fight, how resolved it was in the end. And it found that the marijuana users were absolutely delusional, basically, about how
Starting point is 00:31:31 well their relationships were going. Oh, wow. Okay. Wow. I just guess because you're so blimmin' chill all the time that you sort of think that things aren't a big deal when maybe they are. If both in the relationship are smoking weed, are they just like, do they just have no idea how it's going?
Starting point is 00:31:49 I know. Maybe the weed is the glue that holds them together. And then they, you know, once they remove it, they realise that they haven't dealt with anything for many years. But yeah, so maybe if you're a common Maha Joana user, but you've got some conflict in your relationship, maybe just put down the bong,
Starting point is 00:32:12 you know, for the conversation. Or like you, just switch to wine maybe. Yeah, yeah, like, oh, that really helps an argument. No, yeah, yeah, I was going to say that. At least I'm imagining the people who have been smoking weed, it's sort of a chilled okay, yeah, yeah, I was going to say that. At least I'm imagining the people who have been smoking weed,
Starting point is 00:32:27 it's sort of a chilled, okay, okay. That's fine. Just, God damn it, why weren't you showing some passion? Okay, okay. But if it was wine, it's too much passion. Yeah. It's the other end of the scale. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. I would usually say we're joined in studio by, but only Fletch is in studio, so I'll say we're joined in studio by, but only Fletch is in studio. So I'll say we're joined on the show by Guy Williams, who's season three of New Zealand Today starts tonight, 8.30 on TV3. Hello, Guy. Hey, thanks so much for having me, guys. It's lovely to be here.
Starting point is 00:32:58 A pleasure, a pleasure. Guy, I feel nervous every time I see a trailer for your show. I worry for you. I want to hug you. I want to just make sure you're okay. Because, man, you put yourself in some bloody situations, don't you? Yeah, but don't we all? Am I weird?
Starting point is 00:33:16 I kind of seek these situations out, right? I intentionally book interviews with people who I know are going to hate me. And I'm best known for interviewing the mongrel mob, obviously. But yeah, I interview crazy Auckland mayoral candidate Leo Malloy, who wants to fight me. I talk to anti-vaxxers who want to suck the vaccine out of me. The whole situation is just constantly, oh, you're right. There's something not right with me that I put myself in these situations.
Starting point is 00:33:43 But I feel like, Guy, there's a perception that you just like, you're so confident and you're so, you're right. There's something not right with me that I put myself in these situations. But I feel like, Guy, there's a perception that you're so confident and you just go in there and you're with all the confidence in the world. But are you packing yourself before you interview some of these people? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I often feel quite sick about it. And yeah, I don't even know if I am confident.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I just am delusional, I think is the way. If you just block out the thoughts that this could go wrong, I just, yeah. And it always does go wrong, but that's kind of comedy, isn't it? A little bit, maybe. Is it comedy?
Starting point is 00:34:12 I don't know. I'm very insecure. Some of the people you interview, like it going wrong is that they like, it's awkward. But some of them is like it going wrong is like, they could like drop you. Yeah. Like they could absolutely kill you.
Starting point is 00:34:24 No, as I i said this guy this this merrill candidate he literally wants to fight me and he stops the interview at one point he smashes his hand on the table and goes did your daddy ever spank you when you're a child and i'm like what is this and he's like he should have and then he started asking me when i lost my virginity and i was like this is absolutely mad. But I think, do we not? I feel like most people get themselves into these situations, though, in life. You meet crazy people everywhere you go in life.
Starting point is 00:34:52 But most people don't film it and put it on TV. So I'm lucky that this is at least my job. Most other people just have to go talk to a therapist. I get to put it on TV. You seek it out. I actively spend my life avoiding people full stop, but especially people of like, you know, a nature of conflict.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Like if someone slammed their hand down and said, did your daddy spank you? I'd be like, I'm out. I'm moving to the desert. I don't need this. What are some of the highlights for this upcoming season? Well, I interview a man who is accused of being racist towards Indians, right? And you think that seems like a pretty straight and narrow
Starting point is 00:35:28 news story. The twist is that he himself is Indian. And that is just crazy. It's just like so awkward. And I did this thing. I don't know why. And this is probably not okay for me to do, but I did what I called Guy Williams racial sensitivity training.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Yeah, and I'm a white man for Williams racial sensitivity training. Oh, fantastic. Yeah, and I'm a white man for people who can't see me on the radio. From Nelson, famously a very accepting place. Diverse. Diverse town. So that was kind of the joke, right? And what I wanted to do is set up softball situations where this guy could nail it to try and be
Starting point is 00:36:01 less racist, right? So what I did is I hired some actors. I called it my cornucopia of humanity. And it was five people from different ethnic backgrounds, right? Different colours of skin, different countries of origin or places they were born or whatever. And when he lined them up, because he was prejudiced against Indian people,
Starting point is 00:36:21 he literally, because I thought he would kind of refuse to do it or say this is not okay or would cut out early or something like that. He not only embraced it, but when he lined them up based from hardest working to least hardest working, he put the white guy as the hardest working and the darker skinned guy as the least hard working.
Starting point is 00:36:39 I could not believe it. I know I made that situation and created it thinking it was going to go bad and somehow it went even worse and I was worried it was going to go. Where do you find these people, Guy? They're in the news. You guys talk to them on the radio. He was in the news because he refused to hire, didn't he?
Starting point is 00:36:56 Yeah. Was that the news story? Yeah. And I don't really know why that is. Because the irony was is that he claims that Indian people are hardworking. I didn't think that was the racist stereotype of Indian people.
Starting point is 00:37:07 I thought the racist stereotype was that they were too hardworking, if anything. But anyway, he was racist against Indian people for not being hardworking. He himself is Indian.
Starting point is 00:37:16 If he wants to see a hardworking Indian, just look at himself in the mirror. It was just so, oh. And this is New Zealand. This is everywhere you go.
Starting point is 00:37:24 You meet these people who are just human juxtapositions. You know, it's so interesting to me. In those environments, how are you, I mean, because obviously like, yes, you're a journalist in these moments. You're wanting to sort of. Can I just say, I'm not a journalist, just for the record. I'm as much a journalist as you are. Oh, very loosely then.
Starting point is 00:37:41 But this is what I mean. It's like, how do you sort of like bring the comedy when you're interviewing some of these people that you like fundamentally disagree with? Well, I think it's what you guys do on the show as well. I think the easiest comedy almost comes from true stories sometimes and something like that. There's always these wacky stories or these wacky clips you see on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:38:01 It's quite hard to make fun of those, whereas it's a lot easier to get into, like, the actual nitty gritty of just, I think the funniest stuff is just going to a dinner with your mum and dad, you know? If I could just interview my mum and dad once a week and hear their cooked opinions on the vaccines or China, you know? Like, yeah, just awkward. Just come to my family Christmas.
Starting point is 00:38:22 That's the funniest comedy in my mind. Too true. Wow. Well, it's on tonight. New Zealand Today, TV3 at 8.30, and then I'm guessing it'll be on demand as well. And all your stuff on YouTube has massive views. Yeah, I wouldn't recommend on demand.
Starting point is 00:38:35 I don't know if the three on demand website works at all. So please watch it on television. We're not up with the Netflix, you know? There you go. Nice. Guy Williams, thank you so much. I'm going to get fired. Well, there was a lotto draw last night.
Starting point is 00:38:58 There's one on Saturday. Actually, did you hear the news? Was it last week? They want to do three lotto draws a week? Did I make that up? Draining the pool too often. You've made that up. Did I make that up?
Starting point is 00:39:12 I swear I heard that in the news last week. They want to do an extra lotto draw a week. And people are like, no. New Zealand lotto plans a third weekly draw five days ago. They have plans for a third weekly draw. Vaughan, do you want to apologise to Fletch? Yeah, because he did
Starting point is 00:39:27 shut me down quite... He did shut... I did say you'd be later. He did... Yeah. But there was that time you said, I'm going to be
Starting point is 00:39:33 the new voice of Keno and I said, stop making up lies. Or that would there be because Clark Aford, let's not forget, the first man. He was the voice of Keno
Starting point is 00:39:42 for many years. I don't think Keno is even televised anymore. Correct me if I'm wrong. Is Keno still going? Daily Keno? There was nothing more fun as a child sitting in front of the television at 10 to 7, which I believe was when the Daily Keno draw was on, and just
Starting point is 00:39:55 shouting numbers at the television. To see if they'd come up. To see if your numbers would come up in Daily Keno. That would have been a great voicing gig. You go in once, you say a whole lot of numbers, you go home and you just bloody get paid. Yeah. Gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Well, there's a stat out from a study that's found that 83% of people would not tell their own family if they won a lotto jackpot. Wow. 83%. Now, I'm assuming they'd tell their partner, right? But then their extended family, brothers, sisters, mum and dad, they're not telling them.
Starting point is 00:40:28 83%. It all depends on how much you win, isn't it? Because that kind of dictates how much you'll be able to split and share with people. Like if it's a low jackpot, they can't expect any of it because that's the kind of jackpot you'd pay off a mortgage with. You're going to use it all. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:43 If you won like a little measly two million. Oh, I was thinking more like a measly six figure. Oh, yeah. You know when you have to split First Division and Powerball with like 10 other people and you think you finally won, but then you only get like 100,000? Oh, God, I know. And it just clears some of your debt.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Whereas if you won the Mega Powerball, say you win an 18 million and you're the only winner, that's when you definitely do not tell people because that's when people think, well, you've got so much, I can have some. Yeah, we do. Right? Oh, my gosh. Are we on air?
Starting point is 00:41:18 We are. You've let the cat out of the bag. No, but we talk about this all the time. You know, when you just have those little lazy days when you dream about winning Lotto and what you'd first buy and then how you'd split the money and what you'd do. And Aaron's always adamant we wouldn't tell anyone. And I say, oh, we'll have to tell a couple of people.
Starting point is 00:41:36 And then the list gets bigger and bigger and bigger. I think we would work it out, working with you every day. No, I would keep it quite humble, though. I don't know if you could. I don't know if you could. I don't know if you could. I would keep it humble. I would keep it humble. Just my renovations would get a little bit.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Oh, would you quit? That's how we'd know Vaughn would, if I won the big lotto. I just wouldn't work anymore. No, I'd keep working as a ruse. People would probably, I think I'd drop too many clothes. They'd be like,
Starting point is 00:41:58 oh, Vaughn seemed to be enjoying that new Lamborghini he's driving around. Yeah. For someone without a job. And I'd be like, hey guys, I just said, he's driving around. Yeah. For someone without a job. And I'd be like, hey, guys, I just said NFTs paid off. I said I had a big stock market win and I sold a couple of big NFTs. I'd do the same. Some kind of like, oh, inheritance thing.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Yeah. I'd keep it humble. I wouldn't be having a Lamborghini. But then telling the friends and family, would you tell the family? Would you tell mum and dad? You would? Yes, I would. Would you tell your brothers and sisters?
Starting point is 00:42:28 I've only got one brother, so I'm all right. Yeah, I would. Don't know. No, I don't think so. I don't think you wouldn't. Maybe not. Because then what's up? They'd be like, gizmo.
Starting point is 00:42:39 I think they'd work it out. They'd work it out. Yeah, right. So you're going to let them, they're going to struggle and squalor. No, my family's such proud people that refuse. My brother would never ask me for money. If I was, who's that rich, bald guy?
Starting point is 00:42:55 Jeff Bezos. If I was Jeff Bezos, my brother still wouldn't ask for money. Really? I would. I'd be like, please, Jeff. No, we're a proud people. We refuse to ask for help. If we're offered help, we'll be like, maybe,
Starting point is 00:43:09 but we don't ask for help. Wow. It's called being stubborn. It's Irish stubbornness, and we're through and through. This, oh, my God. I thought this story was like, oh, yeah, this, and then I'm reading the whole thing, and I'm like, oh, my God, I thought this story was like, oh yeah, this. And then I'm reading the whole thing and I'm like, oh my God. Drama.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Please, drama, the drama of this. So there was a woman who, as is her will, was on Tinder, met up with someone on Tinder. They chatted for ages. He invited her around for a fun date. And, oh, sorry, my video's playing. Fun date. She went round, they chatted, had a lovely time, ate dinner,
Starting point is 00:43:50 had a glass of wine, things heated up, some kissing on the couch, they moved things to the bedroom, where they went all the way to the eighth base. How many bases are there? Well, I think it's a baseball analogy, so traditionally... Four? No, four think it's a baseball analogy. Five? Traditionally
Starting point is 00:44:05 four? Four. Three. Three and then the home run. Isn't there a base in the middle? That's the pitching mound. That's the pitching mound. If you're going out to the pitching mound, you're playing in the... Right. I played the one at primary school that had the you put the tennis ball on the top of
Starting point is 00:44:21 the rubber thing, the tee ball. That was fun. Tee ball. Yeah, because you couldn't miss the ball. How many bases did that have? Can't remember. Can't remember. I think it was still a traditional three base. Right. Home run. Okay. Well, they went on to all the bases. They went all the way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:38 And then afterwards, post-coital, they were chatting and she said, do you mind if I use your bathroom? And he apparently hesitated and was like, um... And she was like, that's weird. Where's your bathroom? I need to wee. You always gotta wee. Always important to do a post-wee.
Starting point is 00:44:54 PSA. Anyway, so she went to the bathroom and was like, why was he being weird? And then noticed a towel over like a caddy, like a little sort of storage caddy, pulled it off, et voila, women's products. And he had said he lived alone.
Starting point is 00:45:11 So she went, this isn't good. Looked over to the right, cup holder with two toothbrushes, one pink. Now I'm not saying men can't have a pink toothbrush. Suspicious though. And then she was started and and she's filming this, and she's going, she puts it on TikTok, because that's what you do.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Of course she does. Christ, can't somebody just have a personal bloody problem and not be filming it for TikTok? It's content-worn. It always just makes me think it's set up. Yeah, I always think that, too. I always just think, oh, this person's so desperate to get all the TikTok insights,
Starting point is 00:45:47 the analytics of TikTok and go viral on TikTok that it's all set up. But this one's gone quite fast. So she's in the bathroom being like, oh my God, guys, I'm on a Tinder date
Starting point is 00:45:55 and I've just found all this stuff and da-da-da-da-da. And anyway, so she comes out, so she finds hair products, the guy's bald and she's like,
Starting point is 00:46:02 ding, ding, ding, you're not using this. This sexy bald guy is doing all right for himself, isn't he? He's doing bloody all right for himself. Bald guys. Very sexy, aren't they? Very, very sexy. Very sexy.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Very sexy. Yeah. Carry on. I'm thinking of ditching Aaron or shaving his hair. His long, curly ringlets off. Yeah. Yeah, shave it all off. In his sleep.
Starting point is 00:46:21 Anyway, so she goes out and she says to him like, hey dude, are you in a relationship? And he goes, yeah, I'm married. Sorry, I should have told you. And she was like, this is not me. I don't want to be that. I'm out of here.
Starting point is 00:46:33 So she left. And of course, because Vaughn, she uploaded it to TikTok. Of course she did. It went viral. It went very viral. And people were saying to her.
Starting point is 00:46:43 find out? Do we know? Oh, she did. Okay. Oh, she did a follow-up video. Because I'd recognise my bathroom on a TikTok, would you? In the video, she's like, oh, my God, oh, my God. And she's like, if this is your bathroom, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:46:54 I didn't know. And then she uploads it to TikTok, and obviously all the women are like, you have to tell the wife. You've got to find the wife. So she films another video of her going back to the house, knocking on the door and the wife is there and she's like hi, I'm... Oh no, this is set up. It's got to be set up. She said, I'm
Starting point is 00:47:12 Hayley. I'm so sorry but I've slept with your husband. And the wife's like, oh my god, oh my god, I need a glass of water. She's like beside herself. Anyway, they've kind of connected and I think they're friends now. But, horrendous story. Set up or not.
Starting point is 00:47:27 I mean, otherwise it's a good movie. Good short film. Yeah, true, true. Good series. But this guy, I wanted to, you know, throw it out there because this is an absolute horror story and I haven't dated for a while and I want to hear some more of them of when you hooked up with someone that you shouldn't have,
Starting point is 00:47:45 be it consciously or subconsciously. Right. Okay. Some juicy stories. 0800-DARLS-IT-M is the number 9696. So accidentally hooking up with people. Yeah. Oh, man, maybe intentionally.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Maybe you did it, but you sort of went afterwards like, oh. Oh, you didn't know that, yeah, that maybe they were your friend's brother. Maybe you didn't know they you sort of went afterwards like, oh. Oh, you didn't know that, yeah, that maybe they were your friend's brother. Maybe you didn't know they were your cousin. We don't know. We don't know the kind of stories we're in for.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Sure. All right. 0800-DARLS-AT-EMERSON number 9696 to text in. When did you hook up with someone that you shouldn't have?
Starting point is 00:48:19 I am worried about it right now. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. Right now, talking about those times when you've hooked up with someone you shouldn't have. Maybe completely by accident. Yes, maybe you didn't realise that you shouldn't have because they were already betrothed to someone else. Maybe you didn't realise. I mean, I'm trying to plant the seed. Maybe you didn't realise they were your cousin,
Starting point is 00:48:43 but we haven't received any messages about that, I don't believe. I don't know if we will. But we are getting messages in, some scandalous stories. I know. So this is on the back of a woman who in America went on a date. Oh, no, in Australia, sorry, went on a date and then found out that he was a married man. And then she told her wife.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Some text messages. My friend hooked up with a Tinder guy who was in a man. And then she told her wife. Some text messages. My friend hooked up with a Tinder guy who was in a relationship. She didn't know this and told the girlfriend when she did find out, but also got pregnant to him. Okay, there's a lot going on there. Oopsie daisy. I slept with my best friend's brother. It was ages ago and only once,
Starting point is 00:49:22 but my best friend still calls me sissy to punish me. Okay. Well, they're still talking at least. Yeah. Yeah. I was, somebody has said,
Starting point is 00:49:33 my BFF just found out she's dating a married, she's been dating a married man for months. He always visited her and when she went to finally visit him and met his parents,
Starting point is 00:49:41 they were really cold with her and then she found out he'd only left his wife a week before she met those parents. Oh. I was like, oh, he's introducing her
Starting point is 00:49:49 to the parents even when he's still in a relationship but he just left. Classic overlap. Classic overlap there. You got yourself a classic overlap.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Yep, they have no single days, do they? No. No single days. None on the calendar. None on the calendar. 0800 DALS at MSN number. You can text as well,
Starting point is 00:50:04 9696. When did you hook up with someone you probably shouldn't have in hindsight? And of course, you had no idea at the time. Yeah, look, I'm withholding some of my own stories for the sake of my professional career on radio. We're talking about the times you've hooked up with someone and in hindsight, you probably shouldn't have. Like maybe you found out they were married or they already had a partner. There's big Jeremy Kyle file vibes to this. Oh, there is.
Starting point is 00:50:30 You know when we used to do the Jeremy Kyle files? It was... It was, yeah. Wild stories. What's happening, Hayley? I'll tell you that much. I just opened up the text machine on my computer and yeah, I'm seeing them.
Starting point is 00:50:42 I'm seeing them coming in. We've got a couple of the texts on the phone, I believe. We've got a couple of anonymous callers. Anonymous, good morning. Good morning, guys. Good morning. Now, who did you hook up with that you shouldn't have in hindsight? My cousin.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Yeah, it wasn't. I know. I know. But did you know they were your cousin? No, I did not know it was my cousin, obviously. That was... Can you pause it? You were going to say you were saying they were my cousin.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Oh, God, no. How do you not know who your cousin is, though? How do you not know who your cousin is, though? Well, we started hanging out with this family all of a sudden, and they just kind of came out of nowhere. We didn't know. But, you know, the parents didn't tell us anything, and it actually came out a few years later that, you know,
Starting point is 00:51:37 because I was with my grandma, and she was like, well, actually, these guys, this is actually my daughter, and I adopted her out. I had her really young, and, you know, this is actually my daughter. And I adopted her out. I had her really young. And, you know, those are her kids. And we were just like, we'd been going on family camping trips. We didn't know we were family camping trips. We just thought we were kind of, you know,
Starting point is 00:51:55 catching up with this family, friends, you know. And then, yeah, she kind of sat us down and was like, these are actually our relatives. And, yeah, first cousins and that's your auntie. And I was like... What did you say to your cousin afterwards? I think we just kind of, like, let it go.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Like, it was that thing that we just never spoke about again. Never talked about it. I love it. Never talked about it. And didn't, like, we... I mean, I haven't seen him for a long time until we were, you know, probably 15 years past before we actually were like, hi. And we saw each other and we just, you know,
Starting point is 00:52:33 now we're all grownups and we've got families and stuff. And we just ignore it. It's just unspoken. Yeah, you weren't to know, were you? That's like actually something out of a soap opera, a storyline. Oh, I mean, if you could take a page from the book of my life, it's quite out there. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Thank you so much for sharing that, because there's no way in hell I would have rung up to tell that story. I texted it in. You guys called me back. How are we? Oops, oops, oops. Hey, thank you so much for sharing Anonymous. Anonymous 2 joins us, another Anonymous caller.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Good morning. Hello. Hello. Now, who did you sleep with that you shouldn't have in hindsight? Well, I've been seeing a guy for six months. Okay. Found out a month ago that I was pregnant and found out yesterday he has a wife.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Yesterday? Oh, it's fresh and you're on the radio this morning. Oh, this is really fresh. Really fresh. Oh, my God. How did you find out? One of my friends saw him in town and we went from there. Oh, babe.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Right. I mean, obviously, if you're going to have a secret family, you've got to have them in different towns or cities, right? Different areas. Different area codes. Yeah, yeah. Yes. As eloquently summed up in what song was that?
Starting point is 00:53:55 I can't remember. Yeah, right. It was like a ludicrous song. Yeah, I think it was. It was ludicrous. Pretty much is. Wow. So, Anonymous, what's the plan?
Starting point is 00:54:04 So, you're hapu, which is very exciting for you. Have you confronted him yet? No. So, we're actually meant to be going for dinner tonight. Might invite his wife. Oh, yes, do it. Okay, and tell me the restaurant afterwards. Yeah, because I'm technically out of isolation.
Starting point is 00:54:24 I can come and watch this too. I will go to this restaurant and book a table in the back corner just to look out of the corner of my eye. I feel like we might need a little bit of an update on this maybe tomorrow if you do go ahead with this confrontation tonight. For sure, yeah. So, okay, wow. And so, yeah, how long has he been with the wife for, do you know?
Starting point is 00:54:45 Um, nine years. Oh! And you don't know that they haven't broken up? No, no, no. So they're definitely still together. They were out on a date last night with their newborn baby. This is wild. This is like the Jeremy Cullen show.
Starting point is 00:55:03 It blows my mind how people have this much spare time in their life for admin. You know, I get bogged down in admin with one family. Two families is too much admin. Two families, yeah. I couldn't keep up. Honestly, I couldn't do it. How, wow. So the last like 24 hours or not even that just been a roller coaster for you?
Starting point is 00:55:22 So much so. Like there's so many different emotions going on. Oh, look, I'm so sorry this is happening to you. What a disaster. To be fair, I'm more angry than sad, so it's fine. Yeah. Well, you're in the anger phase, aren't you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Yeah. Okay, well, look, hey, keep us updated. Let us know how tonight goes, because that sounds like it'll be wild. Yeah, it's going to be great. I can't wait. Jesus. Wait, are you going to get great. I can't wait. Jesus. Are you going to get pudding? Do you reckon you'll get pudding?
Starting point is 00:55:49 Or do you reckon you'll... 100%. I might get the waiters or something to write something in the dessert. Oh my God, bring a cake. Yes, bring a cake from like, you know you can buy the supermarket cakes. Get them to write something like I know about the wife. That's actually genius. Yes, do that. And then have dinner normally
Starting point is 00:56:06 and then they bring it out with candles and then boom. Then I leave and he has to pay the bill anyway. Yes. Wait, so does, just before you go,
Starting point is 00:56:15 does he know that you're pregnant? Yes. How did he take that already having a newborn? He was so happy. Like he cried and cried and I was like, cute. Oh, my God. We are dealing with a professional piece of shit here, eh?
Starting point is 00:56:29 I cannot get my head around this. Okay, can you please let us know tomorrow how this goes, Anonymous? Only if you're feeling up to it. No, 100%. Okay, yeah, nice. All right. Good luck. Godspeed.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Wait there. You can sort that with the producers. Oh, yeah, a couple of people have messaged in, get the wife to bring in the cake. They've received this message from multiple people. The wife might not be as chill with this. Yeah, hang on, because the wife needs to find out first. So Anonymous needs to tell the wife this afternoon,
Starting point is 00:57:00 get her on board, get her angry, and then they need to go to dinner and make this plan. Yeah, but she could ruin the dinner. But then also, like, the wife's got a newborn baby. Can you imagine dealing with even, like, a baby? It's so much. Yeah, it's so sad. I know.
Starting point is 00:57:15 All right, well, good luck with that. What city do you reckon that's in? Hamilton? I mean, it had Hamilton vibes. It had Hamilton energy. I can stand it. I mean, I can ask. What city are you in?
Starting point is 00:57:28 Hamilton. You nailed it. You nailed it. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. Well, the movie is out today across the country, Jurassic World Dominion. People are so excited about this. We love a dinosaur.
Starting point is 00:57:47 We love a dinosaur. Who doesn't love a dinosaur? Yeah. I know. And the thing that's amazing about this one is it's got like the new generation of cast, like Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, but it's also got the OGs.
Starting point is 00:57:59 They're all back. Laura Dern and Sam Neill. And Vaughn and I last week were lucky enough to catch up with Jeff Goldblum. Hi. Which one's Carl? Which one's Vaughn? Me.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Fletch. That's Carl. You can call him Fletch. I'm Vaughn. Yes, I gotcha. Hi, Carl. Hi, Vaughn. We were just reminiscing about seeing the first Jurassic Park as kids.
Starting point is 00:58:19 And then after all these years wondering, has Sam Neill ever invited you here to New Zealand to his winery? I adore Sam Neill ever invited you here to New Zealand to his winery? I adore Sam Neill so much. I've never been to the winery, but he gifted me and my mother-in-law, whom he took quite a shine to as a matter of fact, with a lovely bottle
Starting point is 00:58:38 from his spectacular vineyard. Wow. He grows a grape. Boy, does he know. And I think he stomps those himself so I could taste a little of his feet on the thing that I tasted. Yeah. At least that's how I imagine how his feet taste. And he is a great favorite son and an international treasure, as we know. But I visited him.
Starting point is 00:58:59 He gave me a nice tour around the Sydney Opera House. Oh, wow. He had a special inn, too. Oh, yeah. We've hung around. I've done some very special things with the great, great Sam Neill. So it was 1993, the last time that you, Sam Neill, and Laura Dern were on a Jurassic Park.
Starting point is 00:59:16 You, of course, came back for Jurassic Park 2, and then Laura and Sam for 3, and then there's been this massive hiatus. What did it feel like to reunite with the crew? Spectacular. Just absolutely great. I mean the two of them honestly are two of our greatest actors in the whole world and two of the greatest people my heart and life have been changed from having ever known them and worked with them. And then to work closely with them on this that I felt
Starting point is 00:59:43 we all felt was worthy and we hoped that the audience who might have liked these characters originally will like what we do here. It was just great. And Colin Trevorrow was our director who along with Emily Carmichael wrote this script and he led us, I think
Starting point is 00:59:59 up the hill in an unforgettable charge. What is it about dinosaurs that like, because I remember I was a kid when the first one came out, we were saying it's like the first movie we think we saw in the cinemas. The first one that we can remember,
Starting point is 01:00:15 like the massive blockbuster. And here we are nearly 30 years later and dinosaurs still draw a crowd. Isn't that something? Well, dinosaurs, I think, are, you know, mysteriously, but for some reason, people have tried to explain it, interesting to us Homo sapiens. I mean, they were here, and we're just a fleeting
Starting point is 01:00:37 and little and humble part of the Earth's inhabitants and this amazing universe. But Steven Spielberg started this cinematic interpretation of Michael Crichton's invention. And he started off something that really rang the bell, I think. He knows how to make a spectacular movie. He's a genius. And how about that? There have been wonderful actors along the way.
Starting point is 01:00:59 And Colin Trevorrow had a big idea about how to bring us all together and make something that might be satisfying, and it's pretty entertaining stuff. But animal shows, animal acts have always been big. I used to see on Ed Sullivan, you know, they used to come out and bring some kind of animal out, and everybody likes animal acts. Have you a favorite dinosaur? Has it changed since the original?
Starting point is 01:01:27 Yes. I used to like the Triceratops because as a kid I read a book about it. That magnificent T-Rex is fearsome but magnificent. Blue, of course, those velociraptors, clever girls, but full of family feeling, as we know now. I like them all. My kids, I showed the first one and the second one to my kids who are now almost seven and five.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Two little boys on TV. I think they like that one that spits at you. They got a kick out of that that and they were scared of it. But we're going to take them to see this next movie in the theater. It's the first movie they will have seen
Starting point is 01:02:10 in a real movie theater. Yep, and I'm going to go with them. Stand in the back of the theater. I think it's going to be sweet. Everyone liked the spitty one in the first guy. He looked like a bad guy, but he stopped the main villain
Starting point is 01:02:21 of the movie. So that's why he was sort of a hero of sorts. Yes, he is. That's right. That's right. I like that spitter. And I get kind of viscous, especially at mealtime. I have plenty
Starting point is 01:02:34 of juice around that area. Well, we really look forward to seeing Jurassic World Dominion. The Electric, Jeff Goldblum, thank you so much for your time today. You are so sweet you guys I hope to see you soon Okay, so we did talk earlier
Starting point is 01:02:55 about the fact that Love Island is back where they sort of it's partner swapping isn't it they sort of jump around a bit Sure, yeah Have a hoon on that one and then have a hoon over here Sure It's partner swapping, isn't it? They sort of jump around a bit. Sure, yeah. Have a hoon on that one and then have a hoon over here. Sure. But the reason this article has come up is because one of the contestants, Tasha,
Starting point is 01:03:12 I have not watched this. I have no judgment on Tasha as of yet. But she said her dating life is a shambles, saying she's only going on six to ten dates a month, which is an average of about two a week. Jesus. That's a lot though, eh? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:30 So much effort to go out. So much effort. So much effort. So six to ten dates every single month, averaging around a couple a week. And then people chiming in being like, I haven't been on a date since year nine. Like, is that a shambles?
Starting point is 01:03:46 So the love and relationship expert from eHarmony has chimed in on what they think is the right amount of number that you should be going on. She suggests that because some people were saying, I go on a date every day. Like people are desperately looking for love at the moment. That's an expense. I mean, unless they're paying for everything. Yeah. That's an expensive way to do life, right? Like, it's hard enough to even just afford, you know,
Starting point is 01:04:12 the cost of living at the moment, let alone factoring in drinks and meals every day. Drinks and activities and stuff. But I know, I guess everyone's sort of hoping that the next one is the one. But she said one to two a week is about right in terms of like statistically finding someone to stay with. One to two people a week.
Starting point is 01:04:33 And if you don't feel like you got enough from it to make a decision to give them a second date. So she's like four dates a week. No way. That's way too many. Too many. There's too many people. There's too many names. There's too many people, there's too many names, there's too many faces.
Starting point is 01:04:47 There's too many conversations. Yeah. It's too many breads, because I'll always get a bread for a starter, cobbloaf, or you can't get past the cobbloaf. Automatically I'm increasing, exponentially increasing my bread intake. I know.
Starting point is 01:05:00 So two people a week, four dates a week is the golden number. But of course, you know, like if it's less than that, that's fine. And it's about quality, not quantity. Because if you're going for just like numbers, raking up the numbers, you're probably not really getting to know any of them. Also, some people, if they're really hot, use this as a way to get free meals. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:22 But yes, that is something that people have been talking about. Yeah. The cost of living is so high so they're just going on dates and being like, shall we split it or are you going to cover this and we can just get a delicious steak?
Starting point is 01:05:33 But then jokes on them because over time, how would it work? Unless every guy paid, it would work out. But if people were going halfsies, you'd just be eating out all the time. I know.
Starting point is 01:05:43 And it would actually cost you money. You truly would. And you can't have them over your house for like a first date or something. No, you can't do like lasagna at your house. Could you do a walk at the botanicals? The gardens? Yes, though. Hamilton Gardens.
Starting point is 01:06:01 Oh, beautiful place. Beautiful place, yeah. How dreary. I mean, I love Hamilton Gardens, don't get me wrong, but for a Beautiful place, yeah. How dreary. I mean, I love Hamilton Gardens, don't get me wrong, but for a first date, it's not sexy, is it? Yeah. Have you seen the giant door? It's pretty cool.
Starting point is 01:06:13 Oh, yeah, that's hot. Yeah. Great Instagram. That's sexy. Oh, you're right. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about water.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Okay. Water. I'm a big fan. This is about the... We all need it. I've a big fan. This is about the... We all need it. I've got some right. Should we all have a drink just to remember
Starting point is 01:06:49 what big fans of water we are? Oh, what are you dry, Fletch? Here we are. Yeah, good water. Good water. You're not going to have water? Have you had enough water today, Fletch? I'm worried about your hydration.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Well, I've had water has been in my two cups of coffee. So I've had plenty. I've had two cups of coffee. So I've had plenty. I've had two cups of water. No, you're running dehydrated. You're running under. Well, this is about a breakdown of where water is found on earth. This should have come as no surprise.
Starting point is 01:07:18 97.2% of water is in the oceans. Shocking. Absolutely shocking. Full of microplastics. And that's today's fact of the day. There's water in the oceans. Shocking. Absolutely shocking. Full of microplastics. And that's today's fact of the day. There's water in the ocean. There's water in the ocean. 2% of the Earth's water is found in
Starting point is 01:07:35 ice caps, so the poles. I would have thought it would have been more, to be honest. They're very big when you look at a map. All the time getting smaller. And glaciers, so in the form of ice on the planet. Yeah. 0.6% is in groundwater, so that's underneath. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:52 Underneath. Freshwater lakes, 0.009%. What? So you think of how massive some freshwater lakes are. Like the Great Lakes in America, those huge lakes, Alverio, Ngawakatipu, Rotorua Lakes, Taupo, all of the
Starting point is 01:08:12 world's lakes add up to less than 0.009%. Salt lakes are just less on 0.008%. This is the one that blew my mind. Is this the fact of the day? Today's fact of the day is there is 10 times as much water in the atmosphere, like clouds, rain clouds,
Starting point is 01:08:36 general humidity, as there is in rivers around the world. Huh. I mean, you're speaking to a pack of Aucklanders here. We knew that. That last summer was very damp. Teza mughe. It's the humidity that'll get you. The heat's bad, but it's the humidity that'll get you.
Starting point is 01:08:53 So yeah, at any given time, there's ten times as much water in the atmosphere as there is in all of the rivers all over Earth. That's wild to think about. That is wild. You shouldn't see big raging rivers. But at any stage, there's always going to
Starting point is 01:09:09 be rain clouds somewhere in the world, right? Always. I think they're all in Auckland today looking out the window. I can see the majority of them. God, what a wild fact of the day. I love this. I think Vaughan's frozen. Vaughan's frozen. I'm back. You're back. I'm back. I'll summarise. The fact of the day. I love this. I think Vaughan's frozen. Vaughan's frozen.
Starting point is 01:09:25 I'm back. You're back. I'll summarise. The fact of the day is there's water in the ocean and heaps of it in the air. Ten times as much in the air as in the rivers. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. day Well, today's silly little poll.
Starting point is 01:10:20 When going out to eat, do you A, always order the same thing, or B, are you more likely to try something new each time? Wow. I love trying a little bit of everything. It's why I'm so stoked to see Tapas back in Fash. Oh, yeah. When you go to a place and you sit down and they're like, now, is this your first time at the restaurant?
Starting point is 01:10:43 And you're like, it is. And they're like, we do things a little bit differently here. It's like, sweetheart, I hate to break it to you, but you do it the same as every other restaurant. The idea is the food's for sharing. Yeah, we get it. Okay. So we'll get you some.
Starting point is 01:10:58 How many have we got on the table? A few larger ones, a couple of small ones. I think we've got enough on the table. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Try to source while you peruse the menu, but these are the ones I'd recommend. I do love that when you get a couple of small ones. I think we've got enough on the table here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do. First of all, you perused the menu, but these are the ones I'd recommend. Yeah. I do love that when you get a bit of everything,
Starting point is 01:11:09 but then I'm also that person, and you know this one, if I go to Thai, I love a pad thai. If I'm getting an Indian, I love my butter chicken. I mean, you've got to have it on the table, at least. The butter chicken and the pad thai is always going to be on the table, but you've got to try.
Starting point is 01:11:22 The only thing, this for me is restaurant dependent. Like my local pub, I get the same thing every single time. Three days a week, I get the same thing. What do you get three days a week? At the local pub in Haletau, I always get the beef koftas and it's like a green goddess cos lettuce and we get a chicken to start and Aaron will get a pizza and I get the
Starting point is 01:11:48 Kumu River Estate Pinot Gris and he'll get a sour beer. Every time. Same thing. You can be like locals. You walk in. That's my dream is to walk into a place and they're like hey! I love that. They're always like hey guys.
Starting point is 01:12:03 I get that. They're like quarter pounder I'm like yes You know You've got big quarter pounder vibes I do I do have Big quarter pounder energy Absolutely
Starting point is 01:12:13 BQPE And sometimes I say A side of a cheeseburger Thanks Always a side of a cheeseburger Always Also you've got BNA You've got big nuggy energy as well
Starting point is 01:12:23 So Yeah But do you always Order the same thing 64% of people said yes Always, yeah. Also, you've got BN, you've got big nuggy energy as well. Yeah. But do you always order the same thing? 64% of people said yes. Wow. 36% opted to try something new each time. Brittany, who's got vegan in her Instagram handle. I can just skip that one.
Starting point is 01:12:38 She's restricted. I always plan to order something new, but then I panic and order the same thing because I don't want to regret my decision and pay money for something I don't enjoy. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, right. But I feel like vegans don't have a lot of options
Starting point is 01:12:50 at a lot of places. Yeah, it's like one or two things. Yeah. Yeah, so it's either one or the other. Rebecca said, same thing from takeaway places, new things from restaurants. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Okay, yep. Love that. Wei Shi tackles it. Tarangi says, I make my husband order something new so I can try it. And if I like it, I'll take his and he can have mine. And if I don't, I can have the thing I know I'll like. Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:11 I am surprised you're still married because that is an absolute deal breaker for me. I will get rid of you. Sophie says, I always order something that I couldn't cook easily at home. Yes. That's the thing about going out for a steak. And I've discussed this with the lads group. Sometimes you go out for a steak, it's not as good as a steak you could cook at home. Yes, yes, yes, yes. That's the thing about going out for a steak, and I've discussed this with the lads group. Sometimes you go out for a steak, it's not as good as a steak you could cook at home.
Starting point is 01:13:29 Yeah. Yeah, okay. So I love going out for a steak, and I'll do a T-bone if they've got a T-bone on the menu, but a lot of the times if it's just a little eye filler, it's not as good as a steak you could cook at home. But if you see a lamb shank in a restaurant menu, I always get that because you're like,
Starting point is 01:13:43 I don't often cook like a really slow lamb shank. How good's a shank? God, I love a shank in a restaurant menu. I always get that because you're like, I don't often cook like a really slow lamb shank. How good's a shank? God, I love a shank. I might actually chuck some shanks on today. It's big shank weather across the country. Big shank weather.
Starting point is 01:13:55 Must be nice for some. I'll just go back to my mints. I've got mints in the fridge. You've got mints in the fridge? You've got mints in the fridge? You've always got the mints in the fridge. Except never for tacos
Starting point is 01:14:04 because you're too good for mince tacos. I am too good for mince tacos. That's a fact. Brad messaged in saying you're very really let down
Starting point is 01:14:12 by a burger option. It's old reliable. Yeah, that's good call. Although sometimes if it's a chicken burger the patties can be like deep fried
Starting point is 01:14:19 and a bit dry. Yeah, a bit dry. Carlos messaged in. This is just the Spanish version of our Carl. Carl Peter Fletcher. Yes. Carlos messaged in. This is just the Spanish version of our Carl. Carl Peter Fletcher. Carlos Peterino Fletcherino.
Starting point is 01:14:30 He says, always try something new, except if it's an Indian restaurant, because then it's always butter chicken. Yeah, go. Butter chicken and naan. You cannot lose. Carlos and Carlos's, they get it. They get it. Mel says, depends on how I'm feeling. I love a good solid favourite, but sometimes I'm feeling wild and free and different.
Starting point is 01:14:46 And so I've got to, you know, find a menu item that reflects my current mood. Matt says, eggs, Benny, every time. Oh, yeah. You can't go wrong. Oh, yeah. Smashed ammo for me. Yeah, no, actually you can go wrong.
Starting point is 01:14:59 Some places, yeah, but mostly. Balls up the hollandaise. They could over crisp the bacon. The muffins dry. Yeah, the muffin couldllandaise. They could over-crisp the bacon. The muffin's dry. Yeah, the muffin could be dry. The egg could be overcooked. And Evie says, sometimes I just can't be F-trying you things when I know what I like from there and I don't want to waste food.
Starting point is 01:15:15 So, you know, stick to the favourites. Fair call. Well, to finalise the poll, we stick to what we know. Two-thirds stick to what we know. The other third are just wild and free. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Well, the top five holiday destinations or destinations around the world have been released. And this is based on TikTok popularity, but also included with that, also based on Expedia reviews.
Starting point is 01:15:45 So they've used a whole lot of different kind of markers to work out the top five in the world popularity-wide. Are we on there at all? We are not. Which is at the same time as the South Island has just been named as the place for
Starting point is 01:16:02 people to visit. But I also feel like we have been closed for business for a while. Yeah, that's true. So maybe not, you know. Well, yeah, especially when, you know, people aren't visiting for two years, they can't tag in locations. And this is what a lot of this is based on.
Starting point is 01:16:18 That's what I was wondering. You'd have to have a place with a massive, like, domestic population. Well, the Grand Canyon in arizona is number five on the list of the most popular locations in the world again big domestic it's um yeah i've been and you kind of look at it and you're like you don't really get the scale of it but then if you do a helicopter or or you fly over it you get the actual your privilege is showing your privilege is showing yeah it's um
Starting point is 01:16:47 yeah that's definitely the tip there Taj Mahal you've been oh I've been I totally agree one of the most incredible things
Starting point is 01:16:53 I've ever seen yeah that's number four on the list helicopter as well though I tell you what I'd be that would be good number three on the list
Starting point is 01:17:00 the Eiffel Tower oh yeah classic that's um a little cliche if I'm gonna be honest I think it's a little don't propose there don't propose there it's been well yeah when I was Three on the list, the Eiffel Tower. Oh, yeah, classic. A little cliche, if I'm going to be honest. I think it's a little don't propose there. No, beautiful. Don't propose there.
Starting point is 01:17:08 It's been, well, yeah, when I was up there, I saw somebody being proposed to. Yeah. It's very cliche. So it's number three on the most popular locations in the world list. Number two, the Burj Khalifa in the UAE in Dubai, the tallest building in the world. It's a no thanks from me.
Starting point is 01:17:23 I've got a phobia of lifts. I'd just be on the ground floor being like, I bet you it's great up there. Well, Vaughn and I stood on the observation tower. It is nuts. You're looking down at skyscrapers and they look like a little model city and you're in a building.
Starting point is 01:17:38 It's bizarre. It is bizarre. Yeah, that's the second most are tagged. In fact, it's very even hard when you're in Dubai to get a photo of the whole building. You have to be far away to fit it into a shot. Yeah. And the most popular location
Starting point is 01:17:53 tagged in TikToks and online Walt Disney World in Florida. So not Disneyland, but the Florida one. Yeah. Wow. Which is that exactly the same as the Disneyland one? What's different about it? It's bigger, right?
Starting point is 01:18:09 You just cut out. It was built on a swamp. It was bigger. So I think they were allowed to just... I don't know that that's a hot selling point that you've just pushed there. But this one, it's very similar to LA, but it's built on a swamp. I think that's the deal with all of Florida, right? Orlando and everything.
Starting point is 01:18:25 It's all very swampy down there. Very moist. Very moist. Oh, it's the humidity.
