The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Thanks to McCafe. Great things are brewing, one cup at a time. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hayley's back. Yes. And Vaughan's away.

Yeah. We're dropping like flies. So Vaughan, as you know, we spoke about this yesterday on the show, getting off the bus at the wedding, he slipped on the stairs and he jammed his jaw. And he messaged yesterday saying the dentist said it was like he'd been uppercut, punched. Yeah. And so he had some fractures. Yeah.

So apparently the pain, the meds wore off this morning. So he's had no sleep. I don't know. Was he not on the Panadols? Does he not have any trammies in the bathroom cupboard? He needs to get into your little kit. You've got it all. Well, you've got to be prepared.

I know. You know, I've got lots of Panadols. Well, I've got lots of things if he gets a sore gut. Yep. That's where I was yesterday. I think it'll take more than Panadols by the sound of it. Good Lord. This will teach him for neglecting his oral hygiene.

He tricked this. His hand has been forced. Yeah, it has. And it's about time because we have tried. We go to the dentist all the time, don't we? I literally feel like we're always there. Yeah. We just love the sand cleaning hygienist.

I love it. It's good stuff. Very cold this morning. I walked out of the house in shorts and Birkenstocks and was like, I've made a silly, silly mistake.

Yeah, I've got, I've put on a long sleeve top. There's snow coming down south. Currently three degrees in Queensland, Dunedin six, Christchurch is six, Wellington nine,

and Auckland 13. The highest temperature at the moment, Kaitai, on just a balmy 15. Oh, must be nice. Cut it out. Must be nice.

But you definitely turned in the temperatures today. Did you have hail in town last night? Apparently, yeah. And lightning struck the Sky Tower. Oh, yeah. The lightning was huge. Oh, yes. They said the hail was the size of M&Ms.

I saw it on JJ Feeney's Instagram. That's where I get my news source. Direct from the source. Right, that's fantastic. And then she put a great photo of it being struck. Might I send you there? Did she take it or she reposted? Well, what she'd done is she was videoing the Sky Tower

and then she took a still from the video. She's always the scandal queenie. No scandal, just news. JJ Feeney, news queenie. News queenie. So that's the scandal queenie. No scandal, just news. JJ Feeney news queenie. News queenie. So that's where I got that. Well, with Born Away Today, the top six on the way, Air New Zealand

have announced that the Sky Nest is what they're calling the little bunk beds that you can sleep in in economy. These are going to be on the big flights like to New York and Chicago where they're like 16 to 18 hours. Yeah, but with the announcement of it, they've also announced how much it costs. $400 to $500.

Yeah. And you get three to four hours or four hours sleep. Yeah. Would you pay that? I'd just get a sleeping pill. I would just punch myself in the face, have a whiskey and punch myself. It would slip my jaw and then go to sleep. And go to sleep.

Well, I'm going to do the top six other things you could spend that $500 on once you got to New York. Also, a big announcement this morning at 8 o'clock. Make sure you join us at 8 after the news. Next on the show. There is some new research about there's a sexual double standard happening. Goodness. And this is going the opposite way you think it would. Play.

ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. You know me, I've always got my finger on the pulse. That's my first time hearing that song. I love it. I mean,

have you listened to his album? I love it. It's a great song. What a great song. Yeah, it's a great song. Oh, wow, there's something in this pop music.

There certainly is. Anyway. You need to stop listening to your old 70s rock. Yeah, yeah, my's something in this pop music. There certainly is. Anyway. You need to stop listening to your old 70s rock. Yeah, yeah, my dad rock. Yeah. Well, congratulations to Harry. I know he's a big fan of the podcast. Yeah.

Now, this is some new research that actually surprised me because I feel like maybe I'm, because I haven't been dating for so long. Yeah. But like 12 years ago, I found, I thought it was that men looked at women who were more promiscuous and maybe had more sexual partners through a negative lens, more so than women would look at men that way.

I would have thought that too. Yeah, well, this new research is saying it's different. It's almost a reverse double standard. Right, okay. A double standard being one rule for one and another rule for another. But apparently, according to this research, women judge promiscuous men more harshly than men judge promiscuous women.

So, like, we would have a harsher sort of point of view on the way as women. Why'd you point at me? Don't point at me. Of men like you who are single. She pointed at me. What's your number? Well, let's just say our numbers.

Let's just say our numbers. It's early. No, we're not going to say our numbers. Three, two, one. Three. Let's just say both of us start with a three. And like you can fill in how many numbers come after that three three we're in the three yeah a lot of long-term relationships yeah yeah but i this really surprised me this is huge research

they went into whole like ways that like women look at men and men look at women also women judging quite harshly men watching pornography and i saw this because I follow, I'm on the group Girls After Dark. What's it called? Girls After Dark. And a lot of women go on there being like, oh my god, I caught my partner watching adult material. And that's as bad as cheating for them, isn't it? Yeah. And they're like, oh my god, I feel so betrayed. I was like, oh, it doesn't bother me. As you shut your laptop. Yeah, exactly. You know, don't throw stones in glass houses. FEMA producers, do you think that's true, those findings?

Do you judge promiscuous men? I feel like when I was single, I probably did a bit. And I think maybe it's overcorrection in my brain of being like, well, they're going to judge. It's the reverse double standard. That's the thing. I definitely did. And I remember, I don't think I would now that I'm a real adult,

but I think when I was younger, I definitely would ask men their body count, which looking back at it is really cringey. Did they say three? No, they were threes. I would assume they were honest, but they would give some high numbers. Like at university, some of the boys were in the triple digits.

No, but they used to be around me as well. They would be like, I'm going to sleep with hundreds of chicks. No, they weren't. Yeah, and I said goodbye. Bye. I know. It's hard because, like, they're showing off,

but it's a turn off for you, so they're losing. So the guys shouldn't turn, they shouldn't lie. They should just be honest. Yeah, but I think also I shouldn't have asked. Like, I feel like if you're an adult, it shouldn't really matter. Were you ever asked your number? Yeah, yeah, and it would be a discussion. In the threes.

Yeah, in the threes. Why does it matter? It's in the threes. Jared, are you in the threes as well? No, I'm substantially higher. Oh, wow! Jared! Leo!

Leo! Don't call him a plaything. This is the double standard. Yeah, it is a double standard. It's a double standard. No, I'm not judging harshly. You're promiscuity. Former, former promiscuity. Former, yes. Former promiscuity. Because he's's a double standard. No, I'm not judging harshly your promiscuity. Former, former promiscuity.

Former, yes. Former promiscuity. Because he's got a mini now. We're all in relationships. Yeah. No one can speak on behalf of, what about Margaret? Yeah, Margaret. Margaret doesn't exist, I keep telling you.

Well, until you give us your number, I'm sorry, the people can't trust you as a voice for the single people. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I'm sorry, the people can't trust you as a voice for the single people. Doja Cat just tweeted 19 hours ago, Planet Her and Hot Pink, the two albums that have been popping off, were cash grabs and y'all fell for it. Now I can go disappear somewhere and touch grass with my loved ones on an island while you all weep for mediocre pop. So she's basically saying

Excuse me Basically saying I read the recipe for pop music I made it I became successful You've paid me so much money Goodbye She'll come crawling back

They always do Do you know how 100% Expensive islands are Yeah Do you think Paul McCartney Still wants to be performing music You've got to keep going

You've got to keep going You've got to keep up with the lifestyle She'll be back She fooled you though Mediocre pop. Did she not hear Harry Styles' song? Yes. Even I like that.

Now... Stop being surprised at how good music is. Oh, that was decent. I liked that. That's what my mum does. Oh, I liked that one. Oh, I liked that Lizzo one because it sounds a bit disco-y. Now, here's something absolutely amazing from the UK.

A baby, I think we might have spoken about this when it was in the Petri dish phase. Right. The first baby with DNA from three people has been born. So three people were involved in the IVF procedure. So how do they choose which bits? So the reason they're doing it, because I thought they were doing this for like polyamorous relationships

or people in different relationship setups. But it's actually so that they can remove harmful mutations that their parents might carry. So if they've got like a gene for Parkinson's or... Yeah, or Alzheimer's or something, you know, something that you'll go and inherit or they, you know,

I read an article yesterday about a woman, a solo mom, whose three children have just been diagnosed with dementia, like childhood dementia. So they won't get past their teens. And it was because of a random mutation. And you always hear about these like random mutations. They have devastating effects. And you combine them with a father who's also got always hear about these like random mutations. They have devastating effects.

And you combine them with a father who's also got a mutation. It's a disaster. So this, it's called mitochondrial donation treatment. Right. And basically it uses the egg. It still has to have an egg in a sperm. Yeah. But it uses a donor egg as well.

And they replace parts of the egg that would have, what's it called? I just used the word. Mutations, gene mutations in it. And they would replace those with the donor egg's good bits. Right. So then, because usually mutations come to life when you combine them with a sperm and an egg.

So it's a small amount of genetic material from the donor egg, about 37 genes. So the kid is still 99.8% mother and father. Right, because that was going to be my question, is what if you're like, okay, this is the mother and father, we're a great match, looks,

brains, everything. Yes, we've got the package. Yeah, we've got the package. And then you're bringing in a little bit of someone else's egg. everything. Yes, we've got the package. Yeah, we've got the package. And then you're bringing in a little bit of someone else's egg. Yeah. No, 37 genes. I mean, if that's 0.2% of our DNA is what it makes up. But it's enough to help people with mutated genes. This is going to make Ancestry.com pretty interesting, isn't it?

God, I know. This is your mother and this is your mother. I'm 0.2% egg. Yeah. This 0.2%. Oh, my God, I might get a spicy egg. A spicy? God, I'm not. This is your mother and this is your mother. I'm 0.2% egg. Yeah. This 0.2%. Oh, my God, I might get a spicy egg. A spicy, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like I've always wanted to be like Morocco

or like a little Spain or something or a little, I don't know. Because that's the thing, if you did, if you did, no, because it wouldn't, it would be still 99%. Like if it was two, say it was two white people and then you went for like, say, a bit of brown. 0.2% brown. I don't think it would come through in the skin then you went for like, say, a bit of brown. 0.2% brown. I don't think it would come through in the skin tone.

It wouldn't come through, would it? No. No, I don't think you could start like, you know. But surely we're like so close to. Cultural appropriation. Yeah, yeah. But I've got a little bit of black in me. You've got 1% Hawaiian.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And I do, only on Fridays I wear my coconut bra, you know. Yeah, yeah. But I try to just sort of honour my culture. Yeah. So the one in 6,000 babies, which actually feels like quite a lot, are affected by mitochondrial disorders where mutated genes come together

and create like devastating progressive or fatal diseases. But I feel like this is only, now that this has happened, it's only a matter of time before rich people start abusing it. Yeah. That's been around for a while, designer babies. A hundred percent, yeah. I want this gender. I want this look.

I want this to be removed from it. I want that, that, that. My parents just got lumped with whatever came out on the day. Whatever came out. It just happened to be me. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Vaughan away today.

Yes. We've been left again. We have. Yes. And more details coming out about Air New Zealand's Sky Nest. Now, these are the bunk beds that will sit between the premium economy and economy cabins. From the photos, it looks to be six. So three on each side, bunk beds.

Yeah. These will be launching on the ultra-long-haul flights from Auckland to Chicago, Auckland to New York. You'll be able to buy, and they're saying it'll be between $400 to $500, a four-hour spot. Yeah. And after that four hours, they'll wake you up, the lights will come on, and if you sleep through the, I'm assuming the flight attendants poke you.

Yeah, they poke you. Just with a stick and say, wake up. Wake up, Miss Sprout. Your four hours is done. Each pod will have a full-size pillow, sheets and blanket, air plugs, and a separate reading light, a personal USB outlet, ventilation. But why would you go in there and read? I know.

Stay in your chair and read. Stay in your chair and read. Save the money. This is what this is all about. We're finding it hard to justify the cost for a four-hour nap. If it was an eight-hour nap for $400, what a deal. You can get... Or even a six-hour nap.

How much is a prescription these days? Well, that's the thing. That's what I do. I just get sleeping pills. Yeah. I only use them when I travel. I know they're very addictive and not all doctors will just dish them out. But, yeah, I've had, like, I can get a seven, eight-hour sleep in an economy seat,

just knock myself out. The producers think that probably you would pay for one if there was a crying baby next to you. I had a crying baby next to me the other day, didn't I? And my earphones worked perfectly. Okay. Okay. Well, for me, I wouldn't spend this. I've always thought the same about business class.

I'd rather spend the money at the destination. 100%. So I have the top six other things you could spend $500 on in New York instead of having a nap on the way there. Number six, 318.47 slices of $1 New York pizza. Now, with the exchange rate, You've really done the maths here. that's what that would work out to.

Do they still have $1 pizza in these tough times? America's food has gone up the same if not more. I think it'll be a dusting of cheese. Right, okay, dusting. Like a scrape of tomato, a dusting of cheese.

Super slim pepperoni. The slices on like real thin. You can see through it. Like transparent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Number five on the top six other things you could spend $500 on. 1.8 tickets to Hamilton the Musical on Broadway. That's coming to New Zealand.

Yeah. Hamilton's coming here. I just looked up tickets. Some are available. But they're really... You couldn't have two tonight. Can't have two for tonight's performance, but we could have one. So that's actually...

Oh, yeah. Because when I looked at Hamilton tickets, because people were like, you've got to go and I was in America. It was so expensive. Close to 300 bucks. It was like insane. Yeah.

So see it in New Zealand. See it in New Zealand. Number four on the top six other things you could spend $500 on in New York instead of having a nap on the way there. Give a generous tip to the naked cowboy in Times Square. He's working his ass off there. He's always, he's still there.

Yeah, he's really, he's hustling, and I just feel like he needs some money. Or guy with a sign. Guy with a sign. Guy with a sign or meth Elmo. Oh, yeah, meth Elmo. Or meth Cookie Monster. Well, you could divide your $500 up

and give some to the cowboy, some to the meth Elmo, and some to the sign guy, and just be generous with it. Yeah. some to the cowboy, some to the meth almo, some to the sign guy, and just be generous with it. Yeah. Forgo the nap. Number three on the top six other things you could spend $500 on, 2,000 big apples.

In the big apple? Yeah, in the big apple. You can go there and go straight to the supermarket, 2,000 big apples. Have you ever gone into the supermarket in America for apples? They have weird apples. Weird fruit. Weird fruit. Weird fruit. Weird apples.

Yeah, weird apples. No, I don't trust it. I only go to America to eat chips. Yes. Number two on the top six other things you could spend $500 on in New York and instead of ending up on the way there, $500 worth of rat food for all the rats. Again, just be giving and generous.

I think every time I've been to New York, I've seen rats. And they just scurry across the footpath like outside during the day. And you're just like. I don't know. Or you're waiting for the train in the subway and you just see them in the tracks. You're just like. Oh, yeah. And number one on the top six other things you could spend $500 on in New York instead of having a nap on the way there.

Don't go to New York. And spend that money supporting your local tourism in the most beautiful country in the world Aotearoa oh beautiful a lot to see a lot to do beautiful that is today's top six where's the lady

that went to Bali shut up well a supermarket has come under fire Pack and Save Poteroa they ran a Facebook competition for Mother's Day. Now, if I said to you, Mother's Day pamper pack, what would you imagine? I imagine.

Good stuff from a supermarket. Oh, I'd get a face mask from the beauty aisle. Maybe an eye mask. They do candles. Candles. Yep. Maybe some nice soaps. Yep.

I don't know, some treats. Chocolates. Wine, chocolates. Oh, wine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A magazine. Yes. That's sort of where I'm at.

That would be a great comment to win Pamper Pack, wouldn't it? Yeah. So what's in there? Two bottles of Purcell laundry liquid soap. Four bottles of laundry scent booster. Four bottles because you're doing a lot of loads. You've got to get that scent booster in there. Two Glade air fresheners

and a box of roses chocolates. And everyone was commenting saying, guys it's a little bit sexist. It's a little antiquated there. It's a little less pamper. It's more do the house chores, mum. Oh, my God.

I almost feel like sending my mum this package because my mum lives quite close to Porirua, really. I could get her a little pamper package. Pack and save pamper. So they initially defended the giveaway, but later they apologised, saying that the post didn't reflect its views and it's been changed.

Of course. It was a good intention. These things happen, you know. I don't know. Do you think a man put that together? I think a man might have gone, what is my wife what is she into while I'm here

working at Pack and Save? Yeah. I mean, look, I love laundry stuff. It's expensive stuff. I wouldn't say no to this hamper. No, that's the thing. Yeah, I mean, it would all be... But just framing it as a thank you, Mum.

Yeah. Thank you, Mum. Thank you for, I guess, doing the laundry and making it smell like roses. Although Mums do the laundry so good. Dude, still, like, I'm 33, and if I get a stain on something, I'm like, what's this? You've got to get that out.

Yeah. Man. Man. My mum's always like you've got to use a little bit of hydrogen peroxide and I'm like that seems insane.

I'll bleach it but she's got a method that doesn't bleach it gets it out. Gets it out. See? They know. She knows.

But she'd still rather probably have a candle a bottle of wine Nah. A face mask. No. I'm going to get her the Purcell. I'm getting the Purcell.

Okay. Good luck with that. Silly Little Pole, Silly Little Pole, Silly Little Pole, Silly Little Pole, Silly Little Pole. Today's Silly Little Pole, a big question to ask. Very big question. Is sex with your current partner the best you have ever had? Not to say that that has to be to have a successful relationship. No. It works if you work it. I mean, it certainly helps, doesn't it?

It certainly helps. I don't know if I'm surprised by these results or not. 72% of people said yes. Okay. The best they've ever had. 28% said no. Some feedback. Okay, anonymous. Yeah, no names.

No names. Anyone in trouble. Oh, I won't make up silly names either. Anonymous says yes, no names. No names. We don't want to get anyone in trouble. Yeah. Oh, I won't make up silly names either. Anonymous says, yes, one and only, 15 years. Oh, okay. You're one and only? As in, like, that's the only person you've slept with?

Like, do you know when, like, childhood sweethearts, like, and they haven't been with anyone else, you're just like, you don't know what is good, right? You don't know. Or do they? It's good to them, so that's good. Yeah, you don't know what's over the other side if you need to go over. Yeah. There's so much on the other side.

Especially if you've all just sort of grown up together working it out. There's so much, yeah. There's so much. Another anonymous message. 100% yes, there's something to be said about an older woman panting face. Wow. Okay. Go you, anonymous.

This person says, oh, no. My current partner is too vanilla and not keen to try new things, which is a shame as I've stumbled across some things I want to explore more. We need to take this to Morgan.. We need to take this to Morgan. We do need to take this to Morgan. Sexologist Morgan. What would she say? She'd say, have a discussion.

It's about communication. It's about communication. It is. You have to say, hey, this is really important to me. This is something I want to try. Are you up for it? And ease into it, I think. God, I'm becoming her.

Are you up? It's rubbing off on you. We're spending too much time together. Yeah. Another message. It is not the best, but it's the most loved and most connected

I've ever had. That makes it so much better. Been with my boy seven years and I'm 51. Was married 20 years before this relationship. So, yeah, it's not all about that,

is it? No. You're feeling loved and respected and connected. Okay. Here's a message. The best sex I ever had was on a hostel balcony in Krakow.

Oh, yeah, in Poland. I've been to Krakow. Krakow. The next day, one of the others staying in the hostel said to me, Hey, did you hear that happening on the balcony last night? Not their words, mine. Yeah. I was like, no, I didn't.

Ha ha. Then another person says, I thought that was you. No getting away with it. My current partner is good, but not senseless on the balcony good. Wow. Okay. Wow, okay. See, maybe you could have an anniversary trip to Poland. Yeah, go to Krakow and head to that balcony. Good luck with that.

Good luck. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, Dwayne The Rock Johnson swears by a cheat day. He's famous for his cheat days. His cheat days are wild. He gets those like full sushi platters and chicken and ice cream. He goes ham. I mean, he could afford

to lose a bit of fat. He, I mean, he's insane. His gym routine. He's a monster. He's absolutely built. But a new study, this has been done by the University of New South Wales, research into molecular nutrition and food research. They have shown in their new study that bad food curbs memory

and cheat days can badly affect your memory. Really? And that they can undo really good work on diets. They changed the gut microbe. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Microbiome-y. Is that what you could- Yeah, microbiome.

Microbiome. And that affects your brain. But then, like, what are you meant to do? Just gym and eat salads and you've got to have a blowout every now and again. It's like affecting your memory or your mental well-being. But the mental well-being on a diet, you've got to have something to look forward to. But then the mental well-being when you're not working out and eating well is bad as well. So you can't win.

You can't win. You can't win. Yeah, I've done the zero approach. It's been a month since I've been to the gym. Just because of busyness and whatnot. Is that working? No. No.

Are you seeing results? Can you not see the results? I'm seeing such results. I'm seeing fatigue and I'm seeing craziness. No, but I feel like there's studies like this all the time that are like, it's important to do this or like this is the way or have a day off or cycle like this or do this. And it's like, oh.

You've got to have like cheat days. Life's a living oh. You've got to have, like, cheat days. Life's a living. I mean, you don't need to go crazy on your cheat days. No, you don't need to eat, like, four sushi platters and, you know. I'm not eating sushi on a cheat day. That's not a cheat food. Also, sushi is not a cheat food. That's not a cheat food.

Cheat food is deep fried. It's booze. Deep fried. It's fun times with your friends. Pizzas, cheese balls, cheese boards. Yes. More pizzas. The next day, good stuff.

But yeah, it could be bad for you. But then, I mean, everything's bad for you, isn't it? Oh, waking up is bad for you. You could eat salads every day and not have a cheat day and then get hit by a bus. There you go. There's the truth. Life is too short to be on a diet every single day. It's about damn time I got my ass back to work, isn't it?

I had two days off. I took Tuesday off because I was opening my Comedy Fest show and just needed to get my head around that. And then Tuesday afternoon the rain started. Yeah. This is in Auckland, but I know it was all over the North Island in particular. And I woke up with these general nerves. It was good to have a sleep in and not come into work, you know.

Yeah. So do it more often, I thought. It's like, this is glorious. Yeah, right. It's good morning. It's rocking whatever time you want. Yeah, and I had kind of an upset stomach and I thought I was like,

it's just nerves and like anxiety about the show. And I was working on the show and sort of packing things up. And then the weather was really packing in. And I was like, oh, God, I hope people still come. And then sort of my stomach, I couldn't eat anything. And again, I was like, oh, it's nerves, you know. And then I started getting these like cramps in my stomach and I was like oh hello and so I was like oh my lord something's happening there and so I just like

went into the lounge where we're sleeping at the moment and I was like I'm just gonna lie down for like 30 minutes and I said a 30 minute and I didn't sleep and it was getting worse and worse and worse and then Aaron had been out doing something. He came back and I was like, I think we're at bucket stage. And he was like, what do you mean? I was like, I need you to get me. Oh, no, I asked for the salad bowl. I didn't even think of a bucket. We've got wooden salad bowls.

And that's all I could think of is the only bowl in the house. Right. For those that don't know, you're renovating. You don't have a bathroom. No, we don't have a bathroom. Yeah. So I was like, we need the bucket or we need a bowl. And he got the bucket.

And then I was like, what about if something else happens the other end? Yeah. No bathroom. And we've got the pee bucket. And he was like, just do what you've got to do. This is grim. It was so confronting. Anyway, he went out to get me some, is it Eno?

Eno? You know, the fizzy stuff that tastes like baking soda and lemon stuff you put in a drink. Isn't that for indigestion? Anti-nausea. Well, he was just getting whatever he could. Anti-nausea. I had anti-cr getting whatever he could. Anti-nausea. I had anti-cramp stuff and I was like shoving all these pills in me.

And then thankfully he had to go to the chemist so I was able to sort of waddle down the driveway to the portal and deal with that end of things. Yeah, great, great. But then, yeah, I just had this like churning pain in my stomach. It was so bizarre. So like food poisoning? Like food poisoning.

But I couldn't put it to anything I'd eaten. Like the night before, I'd made myself like a vegetable pizza. Oh, yeah. That's not going to make you sick, is it? No. No. Chicken? Any chicken?

No chicken. But I knew it was something to do with food because you know when people start mentioning food? Yeah. And you're like, stop. Like Aaron was like, you're going to have to eat because you've got a show so shall I go get you some bread

and I was like no no and he's like what about a cup of tea I was like no I didn't want anything and then the storms

got so bad that my show got cancelled anyway so I was actually fortunate because you might have shat yourself I think I manifested this that I didn't shit myself

on stage or have a bucket by the piano on stage. Because then Comedy Fest rung me. They were like how are you? And I was like, yeah good. And they were like, oh we're pulling tonight's shows because of the state of emergency. And I was like oh how disappointing.

Literally like got off the phone and then like climbed into bed for at least 12 hours. So you must have just been a 24 hour tummy bug. Yeah because when I woke up the next morning yesterday, it was still, like, terrible. Right. Just feeling awful.

So that's why you didn't come into work. That's why I wasn't here. Yeah, right. And I do apologise. But good Lord, you wouldn't have wanted it. No, definitely not. A bucket. And then last night's show was opening night, technically.

Yeah. And did it all go well? It did go well. Great. I had had, in the space of 48 hours, one banana, two slices of toast and two almonds. And it's not a lot of food for me. I'm a big eater. Yeah. And so I sort of went out like, I don't know if I've got any energy. And then I kind of came out and then it went well. And thank you because lots of ZM listeners there last night.

Oh, fantastic. I want to share a story about a particular ZM listener, but I'll tell that later in the show because she has a connection to someone very important to her. Oh, okay. All right, well, we've also got a big announcement. Long tease. Yeah, long tease.

We've also got a big announcement as well after that at 10 past eight, so make sure you're listening. Got a hot eight o'clock, I tell you what. It's a hot eight. Not that we're giving up on seven yet. No, we're not giving up now.

No, no, no, no, no. God. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. How do you sleep? I start on the side. I'm on the side. Yeah.

And Magimari Fluffington will sleep curled up on my arm. Yeah, that's cute. And it's real cute. And then I'll get sick of that because he can't solve the circulation to my arm. Yeah, that's cute. And it's real cute and then I'll get sick of that because he cuts off the circulation to my arm because it's very heavy. Yeah, they're awful. And then when I'm ready to go to sleep, when I just feel myself falling asleep, I turn over and I'm face down. No. Is that...

That's bad. There's a... Why is that bad? There's a guy who is a sleep expert. Sorry, I was just finding out what his bloody credentials are here. Any letters after the name? He's an expert in sleeping posture. Claims that there is actually only,

that's the worst sleep position. They call it the car crash. Why? Because your head's like snapped around and your arms are sprawled out. Yeah, but I've got my pillow. Look, even now your shoulders are high and your neck is turned. I just it's not good, is it?

And your neck is turned. But I just love it. You just sink in and you're just like, oh, it's so nice. He said there is only one time you should ever, ever sleep on your front like that. Yeah. And it's if you have a respiratory issue like COVID and you beef up the pillows underneath and it kind of would maybe open up your airways a little bit more.

Other than that, everyone was like, but it's so comfy. Because I remember when I had to hurt my arm and it was so sore and I couldn't sleep on my stomach. And I had to sleep on my back and I hated it. I just couldn't do it. I can't sleep on my back. I'm

a side sleeper. If I'm having a really restless night, I'll go on my tum. Hands under the pillow like that. But he said, yeah, medical professionals will say during the COVID-19 pandemic they'd put patients on their front with two pillows strategically positioned beneath them, a practice

called proning, which is, yeah, to help with your airwaves. He says that is the only reason you should ever line your stomach. Other than that, you are literally contorting your whole body because often when you're on your stomach like this, someone puts a leg up as well. So your legs out to the side, hips are out of line, spine's out of line.

I'm all starfish. Yeah. But then also if I'm on my side and I've got the body, we've got the body pillows. Vaughn and I are big ambassadors for the body pillows. Yeah. Then sometimes I'll wake up with a sore back because I'm all twisted. Whereas if I'm on my stomach,

I'm never sore. No, you're still twisted. Yeah, but look, I mean, I don't think you can win. It'd probably be on your side, right? Yeah, but then you get boob crease. Well, women do. You know I've been thinking a lot about my boob crease. I know, but what about your pillow, your boob pillow?

I thought you had a special boob pillow. No, I shove my teddy bear in between and sort of widen them. Does the teddy bear have any... He has no say over it. He has no say on that matter. Best position, sleeping. Let's not just Google that. Side sleeping helps prevent the airways from collapsing

and can reduce snoring. Oh, yeah. Okay, so if you've got a snorer on your hands, probably the side is the best way. I always put them on his side. Also good for pregnancies. Sleeping on the side or the back is considered more beneficial. Sleeping on the stomach, no good.

Lots of websites saying it. Where do you guys sleep in the producer's booth? Yeah, I'm the same. Like, leg up, basically, on my stomach. You know what I mean? Because it's more comfy, right? Yeah. Where do the boobs go?

I just kind of squish them out. Because I'm quite flat. I'm quite flat. You are. You've got itty bitty titties yeah they're there they're there they're just sort of squishing happening yeah yeah shannon i'm one of the most high maintenance sleepers you'll ever meet so i sleep with four pillows so one on each side and i sleep on my side with the body pillow like in front is that to keep

your boyfriend away where's the magician well he's never there. But when he's there, we sleep with a pillow between us because I've got arthritis in my back so I need a little bit extra support. Yeah. But yeah, I sleep with four pillows every single night. If he's not there,

sometimes five. I'll put two behind my back. What? Yeah. And then I have a teddy bear too. Too many pillows. Too many pillows. JP, you share a bed?

Yep, I do. I used to be, and I really miss it, I used to be a sleeper like Mr. Fletcher. You miss the single days, do you? No, no, it's nothing to do with that. Just before you dig yourself a hole. Yeah, quite easy to go back. From the age of 24, I can't sleep on my side or on my tummy anymore.

I have to sleep flat on my back. Oh, no. When you see people sleeping like that, you're like, are you dead? Are you dead? No, yeah. The mini thinks it's so weird. But you're so open because your ears are open. Your eyes are open to the space.

Yeah. I don't want to be surprise tickled. That's why I like to sleep on my stomach. Usually I've got my hands laced behind my head like this. Yeah, I have my hands above my head when I sleep on my back. Or like interlaced on my chest. Like a vampire. But I just can't. I have to sleep straight my head when I sleep on my back. Or like interlaced on my chest. Like a vampire. I have to sleep straight.

That's weird. Otherwise, my back is so sore. Oh, wow. I'm old, guys. I mean, it's to their own, but I think you've got

to stop on the tummy. Yeah. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Do you know who's excited about this announcement? Manny McClain. He's listening.

And he is excited for the announcement. He messaged because we put it on Instagram and he said just tell me. We're like, we don't do that. Just because you're filling in for Clint this week, don't think you get all the inside knowledge. No way. You can wait like the rest of them. Yeah, after 8 o'clock. Now I stumbled across this on the interweb last night

and I thought, oh my gosh. There's being money wise gosh, there's being money wise and then there's being absurd. And this is where I would draw the line. Yeah. But then in saying that, the cost of living at the moment is insane. Totally. So I can kind of see where this guy's coming from. I know. But it is, it's, I wouldn't do it. It's insane.

Yeah. It's a bit too much. So this is, he lives in Batemans Bay in New South Wales, Australia. He's been struggling with money. You know, work's been hard. Money's been hard. Cost of living is so high. Electricity bill was high.

And he was like, well, here's where I can save some money with the power bill. So in a bid to cut down the usage, he decided to just have one light bulb that he will travel around the house, depending on what room they're in. He just moves it from one room to the next. These can't be the old school light bulbs, eh? Because do LED ones get hot? Hot!

Like the old, you know, the screw in. LEDs don't. The LEDs don't. But if you had the classic old light bulb, those, you'd need a tea towel. Yeah. And then also you a tea towel. Yeah. And then also you could break it. Yeah. I know the moment you pinch it, now you've got to spend money not just to use it, but to have it.

So he's a single dad as well, so there's kids living in his house. Wouldn't it be better to get some like the solar torches, solar lamps? Yeah. And charge them during the day? Yeah, but he's charging. Oh, solar. Yeah, you're charging the sun. He's not the only thing he's done to save money.

He's no longer eating foods that need cooking. So just pre-prepared processed foods. Doesn't take hot showers. Let's his kid take a hot shower, but he won't take a hot shower. And he won't turn on the lamp or whatever thing is using the light bulb until it's completely dark. Oh, wow. You know that like five o'clock dimness. That's also so sad as well.

Oh, I know. You know, that it's getting to this kind of level of... Oh, I know. I mean, people have to come up with these kind of measures. Yeah. I think this is a good opportunity and the way we could share some measures that people are taking. Maybe the extreme measures

that you're using to cut costs. Things, you know, we hear a lot of the like, oh, you've got to save this percentage of your salary and, you know, go on these places for cheap groceries.

But maybe you've got some more kind of out of the box ways that you're saving money like this guy carrying his light bulb around the house. Or maybe you had a tight ass dad like this. Yeah.

Because mom and dad always used to yell at you when you left the lights on. Yeah, who's paying the power bill all the time. Or like leaving a door open. We are born in a tent. Yeah. I don't know. You tell me. You get burst to me.

I wasn't there. I wasn't mentally there, was I? I don't know. How drafty was Wellington Women's Hospital? I don't know. Were you born in Wellington Women's Hospital? Yeah. I'm sorry. I thought you were from New Plymouth. I don't know. Were you born in Wellington Women's Hospital? Yeah. I'm sorry.

I thought you were from New Plymouth. I think that's what it was called. No, I moved there when I was two. Oh, my God, you're like me. I was born in Christchurch, but I moved to Wellington when I was two. You don't like to admit that you're from Rangiora, do you? You don't like to admit that.

She's from Wellington. I was born in Hart Hospital, and I lived in the Hutt my whole life. That's the thing, if we're all looking for little money saving tips. Give us your hot tips. What is your hot tip for saving money? Do you live with someone that's, and you know,

we're going to get to this now that it's getting colder. There's snow falling down south. Flights have turned back because there was some snow at Queensland Airport. This was last night. We're going to get that whole argument with the flatmates about heating. Oh, my God. This happens every winter.

Heaters in the bedrooms? Secret heaters. Secret heaters are so naughty. Oh, my God. They're driving nuts. Then you've got the, a lot of people do the free hour of power and just turn everything on, like the oven. Charge it all up.

All the heaters charge. Yeah, cook, heat. The dryer, cook, yeah. But what extremes are you going to save money? Do you have a little tip? We want to share these. Text in 9696. Give us a call. 0800-DARLS-AT-M. Whether it's your flatmates,

you, or maybe you had dad that had a lightbulb, just one lightbulb for the whole house. I don't mean to laugh, but it's, oh, it's sad. Give us a call. But right now, talking about an Australian dad who is taking money saving to the extreme. I mean, this is how bad the cost of living is.

Yeah. I mean, it's sad, really. Yeah, he's canned the hot showers. He's stopped with the cooking of the meals, but he's also just using one light bulb, which he'll travel around the house. Now, someone did message in working out how much a lightbulb

actually costs to run and blah blah blah. But I think it's more like people are actively trying with what they can. And we've got some amazing messages coming in. So we want to know if you've got any money-saving hacks or if you've had someone that goes to the extremes.

Because I've just found a fact, a stat rather, that 32% of Gen Z and 42% of millennials are turning more to social media like TikTok, Facebook, YouTube for like hacks, money-saving, cost-of-living hacks. Yeah, it's all the time on my reels. It's like, here's how to save money. One of them that I did last week was like garbage

soup. You know when like all this stuff that's going like limp and gross in your thing. Make a soup. Yum. It was real yum. Just had all this like garbage. And you didn't waste food. I didn't waste it. Well, there's like two punnets in the freezer that I don't know if I'll touch, but

someone's advice for saving money, don't drink during the week. How are you going to deal with that? Got to weigh up my options. Move out of Auckland was someone else's advice. Yep, fair call. Someone messaged in saying we received a whole lot of free HelloFresh boxes on our HelloFresh account, so we set up fake emails and purchased Visa Prezi cards so that we could keep getting free HelloFresh boxes on our HelloFresh account. So we set up fake emails and purchased Visa Prezi cards

so that we could keep getting free HelloFresh boxes into our house. Oh, I don't know if we should be encouraging that. If they find out, that's fraudulent, isn't it? That is a bit fraudulent. Someone's messaging, and I used to do this. I'm a cleaner at my dad's office. I was a cleaner at my dad's office as well. And I used to, when I would replace the big rolls.

Okay, these are not money-saving hacks. This is stealing. Yeah, but my dad was paying for it, so I'm borrowing from the family. Okay. Okay, here's a hot tip. Baking once a week instead of buying treats and biscuits for the week. Yeah, because it's a lot cheaper, isn't it? I mean, butter is expensive. But once you've got it... Yeah.

And also, you can do butter-free. And I know your face is already... No, no, no. But oil, you can use oil. You can use like a cheap oil. But it's definitely way more cost effective to do your own baking. You'll get more out of it. Yeah. Someone is saying they actually have started using the like scoopers in things for portion

controls, like laundry powder. Oh, right. Laundry powder and stuff. They free pour. No, they're saying they actually start using them now. Like just one. Oh, instead of using two scoops? Yeah, I always use two scoops or like sometimes I free pour.

Because I do the liquid and I do one cap and then I'm like just a little bit more because a little bit stainy. Yeah, I know, but now that's going to run out faster. Yeah. All right, well, keep your messages coming in. 9696, 0800 dials at M for your calls. Your money saving hacks. We've got lots coming in. An Australian dad has gone to extremes with the cost of living.

He's one light bulb per room. No. No, one light bulb per house. And he'll just screw it in. Jank it in. And then you get some light. And then, I mean, that's how sad things are getting. Yeah, man.

People are doing what they've got to do. We're talking about the extreme lengths or your tips in this cost of living crisis with inflation and food so expensive. Yeah. And we're getting some amazing messages in. Yeah, here's one. Someone said, this is a lame tip, but I think it actually helps.

It's not lame at all. I've recently gone to an insurance broker, something I put off because I never knew what I was actually paying them for. Turns out I've been paying for like five different policies, some overlapping cover. So this mortgage broker, which by the way, brokers are a free service. Yeah, they get paid when you sign up.

When you sign up for something else. So they've consolidated them, saved them so much money. And that's another thing. When you turn like 25, the car insurance doesn't just change. You've got to ring up and say, hey, I'm an adult now. Officially an adult. You just so don't have it anymore ring up and say, hey, I'm an adult now. Oh, yeah. I'm an adult. You just so don't have it anymore. And you're like, what?

And then they're like, oh, it's cheaper. And you're like, oh, you didn't do that automatically? Yeah. Interesting. So that's a really, really smart one. Especially if you've got debt consolidation or insurance and consolidation do that. A lot of people messaging and saying

they use that free power, the free power hour, and so they just charge up, heat up. Do you remember when it was last winter or the winter before when everybody in Dunedin was using the free power hour and they were using it all at the same time and it was like crashing the whole grid? Oh, my God, yes. Because they were like, oh, everyone's a free hour of power. I love this.

Money-saving tip, clean your heat pump filter. That's from Rob at Home Ventilation Services. Oh, he just wants a free plug for his services. Well, he got it. I love this. Money-saving tip, clean your heat pump filter. That's from Rob at Home Ventilation Services. Oh, he just wants a free plug for his services. Well, he got it. There you go. But I guess it does make your heat pump more efficient, doesn't it? Yeah, I'm sure it does. Well, don't give him even more. Steve, what's your, what's the money-saving tip? Morning,

team. Hey, for me, it is, I buy my steak in bulk, so I'll buy half a scotch fillet whole, because it's about $20 a kilo cheaper. What? And then you've got to cut little steaks yourself. Absolutely. I take it home, I cut my steaks myself,

bag them up, put them in the freezer. But you save nearly half the price. Hey, that's pretty good. Yeah. But I'm terrible at cutting meat because I never know, do you cut through or with, you know, or do you just hack at? No, well, that's pretty easy, right?

Like it looks like a big sausage basically and you just cut straight from the top to the bottom. There you go. There you go. You can't go wrong with that. You can't go wrong. Good on you, Steve. Thanks for that tip.

Lauren, what's your money-saving tip? Morning. Morning. Morning. So my tip is actually recycle designer clothes on Facebook. Okay. So what this means is I always look very well dressed and I always look like I've been

brand new clothes. Lauren. I've got a very strict policy that if I buy one I have to sell one and my husband of course doesn't complain because I'm not using any money. I'm just using the money that I have from selling what I had. I used to always say that to my fiancé, though, Lauren. I'd say, oh, can I have this?

And I'll sell something. But you never do. Just in the wardrobe it goes. Yeah, but this is good because famously, women love to wear a dress once and then never again. And then never again. And there's heaps of this designer clothing around, eh, Lauren? I've just, you know, people have worn it a couple of times.

The group that I'm on on Facebook has about probably 50,000 ladies in New Zealand. Lauren, what size are you? What are we doing? Are we doing an exchange? Sounds good. Yeah, okay. I'll get your number. Do some, yeah.

I'll get your number. Thanks, Lauren. Some more messages in. Hi, guys. Since buying my house 11 years ago, yeah. I'll get your number. Thanks, Lauren. Some more messages in. Hi, guys. Since buying my house 11 years ago, I buy a fruit tree every Christmas as the Christmas tree. After Christmas, I plant it. Fruit provides food for the season.

Oh, my God. That's amazing. And excess is bottled, made into jams, pickles, or given away. Because I feel like we don't plant many trees now, like fruit trees. Like growing up, there was always a fig or a lemon tree. Always. Oranges. Yeah. Oh, my God. I'm there was always a fig or a lemon tree. Always. Oranges. Yeah. Oh my God, I'm going to do that. Have a Christmas tree.

Make sure you change your cover on car insurance. As your car ages, you don't want to over-insure, especially as the depreciation value will be so much lower. I don't know. Oh yeah, you can. You can get home insulation done with... There's, like, lots of people that are eligible to get free home insulation or 80% off.

Oh, wow. 80% subsidised home insulation. So if you just go and Google, like, subsidised home insulation, a lot of places are eligible for it. If it's your first home or if you're a landlord, it's pretty cool. These are some good tips. Next on the show, we've got a big

announcement. You little tease. You've been teasing this, haven't you? I have been. This is big. This is big. And also Vaughn is away today with a sore tooth. It's not about Vaughn. Because people are now worried that he's leaving. Vaughn's going to come in at 8.

He's just going to have a little word with the listeners. And yeah, we'll see you there. Vaughan's going to come in at eight and he's just going to have a little word with the listeners. Seriously? Yeah, we'll see you there. Unfortunately, Vaughan is away home today with a sore tooth. He actually fractured his tooth. Yeah, I feel like we're underplaying it. He's really fractured his teeth. When he fell down the bus, it turns out he didn't dislodge the temporary crown he's had for 13 years.

He actually fractured his teeth. Yeah. So he's in a lot of pain, so he can't be here today. Yes. But that has nothing, because some people are worried, that has nothing to do with the big announcement, which is coming up soon on the show. Yes. That is not the big announcement.

But you finally got to open your comedy show. Yes. After the first night was cancelled due to the state of emergency in Auckland. Last night was sort of, I guess, my official opening night. And if you were listening earlier in the show, you would know that over the last sort of 48 hours, I had sort of a bout of food poisoning or a tummy bug or something. So I opened yesterday's show like getting energy from the earth, basically.

Like God give me strength. And I went out there and had a really, really fun time. Great show. Thank you to everyone who came last night. Was it a sellout? Did it sell out? Yeah, it sold out. It was amazing.

Such a good crowd. There's a small room though, wasn't there? 180? Oh my God, was it? I've had so many people. Yeah, sure. Thank you. I thought it was like 30 people.

I was like, oh, that's nice. You sold it out. No. That's so big. Yeah. Oh, proud of you. Oh my God, this whole time you thought I was doing like a pub gig? I just had 30 tickets.

Wow, okay, now I am impressed. Wait, so when I said to you I'm sold out and you were like, wow, congrats. I was like, that's so cute. 30 people. Oh my god, you're so patronising. Oh my god. No, only because I thought you were in that tiny room. You're saying that 100 and, because maybe I'm thinking of a different room at the queue. I went to a show

and there was only like 40 people there. No. Oh, you're in the big queue. You must have gone to sell it. No, I'm thinking of a different room at the queue. I went to a show and there was only like 40 people there. No. Oh, you're in the big queue. You must have gone to cellar. No, I'm not in big queue. I'm in medium queue. I must have gone to little queue. You went to little queue.

Oh, okay. Well, that's why then. Okay. God, there's cellar and vault that are smaller. There's loft, which I'm in, and then there's a rangatira, which is the big one. Okay then. Right. Thank you.

I am impressed. I am. Color me impressed. I am a well selling comedian. But because I did my show last night on an empty stomach and not feeling 100%, at the end usually I go out and mingle with the crowd but I didn't.

I tried to slip away and I sort of went out the back and I was coming down the stairs and Eli Mathewson's audience was coming in and I was like go, go, go. And then this beautiful woman was sort of like following me down the stairs and Eli Mathewson's audience was coming in and I was like, go, go, go. And then this beautiful woman was sort of like following me down the stairs and I turned and she was like, I'm stalking you. And I was like, oh, okay. She was like, no, I'm sorry.

She said, I'm a really big fan and I love listening to the podcast and da-da-da-da-da. Big fan of ZDM and da-da-da-da-da. Just saw my show and loved it. And you were trying to run away from her. I know. It looked like I was, but I wasn't. I was just sort of leaving.

Before you, like, spewed on somebody with your tummy bug. Or otherwise, yeah. And then, so she was so sweet and just told me how much of a big fan she was. And, I mean, I could talk about it. How long do I want to go into how much she was praising me? Skip over that. Skip over that. I'm a sellout comedian.

Well, and a big crowd, too. And a big crowd. Big crowd. Big crowd. I'm a sellout comedian well and a big crowd and a big crowd big crowd and then she wanted me to sign something and she has a t-shirt and everyone she sees

in the comedy fest she wants them to sign it oh that's nice and the only other person on it so far was Joe Lycett who's a British comedian who I love

and I was like I'm in good company yeah and then God bless her there was no way we're standing in the stairwell and she just sort of

put it on her chest so in a way I did a classic sign the chest. Oh, okay. So now I feel super famous. Yeah. Lovely girl. And then as I went, she said, oh, I just got to tell you something.

And she was like, I'm working on the set of that film that Jason Momoa is in. And I was like. And now you're really interested, eh? So now I'm not leaving. No, you're not leaving. No, I'll show you a wine. What are we not leaving. No, I'll show you a wine. What are we doing? I'll cook you a dinner. I'll cook you a bloody three-course

meal. Because for those that don't know, I've found a clip here. You actually have special permission. Yes, I do. When it comes to Jason Momoa. For those that don't know, you've actually got a passcard. I said to Aaron, in all earnestness, like, if in ever my life,

Jason Momoa wanted to make love to me, I would want to do that. And he said, and I would allow it. Yeah, he's my literal passcard, not my metaphorical, my literal passcard. And so obviously I've been trying to get in touch with the guy, but it's quite hard. Anyway, when she said this, I was like, what? And she was like, yeah, and I keep thinking about you every time I see him and, you know, how much you talk about him on the radio.

And then I was like, oh, my God, maybe she's shown him clips of me on Instagram. And I was like, oh my God, I'm going to die. And then she was like, no. She was like, I keep thinking about him because I keep looking at him thinking like, nah, he doesn't really do it for me. I was like, what? But she hasn't organized a meeting or anything?

No, she said, because she did say, she was like, I was actually thinking about trying to organize something for you, but he's really hard to like get to on set and whatnot. Yeah. Yeah. So that dream's crushed. That dream is crushed.

All right, time for the big announcement. The big announcement. This is what we've been waiting for all morning. Do you know the big announcement, Hayley? I think so. Start. Add to card's back? No, we announced that on Monday or Tuesday.

I thought it was really intense that you were playing a flashback of something I'd said on air when I was just telling a story. And I was like, what is he up to?

We really stitched you up. You had no idea. Okay. I know you've got a story to tell, but we need to talk clothing. Like, we need to talk clothing. Like, we need to talk clothing. I've got a new Zambezi suit, but the mini skirt is too short. I can't sit in it. Okay, well, Karwin, any help there?

He's from Hollywood. I'm thinking a light tan just to get me back to my summer tan. But you don't want to look orange. And I don't want to make it feel like I'm pressing a light tan just to get me back to my summer tan. But you don't want to look orange. And I don't want to make it feel like I'm pressing my Hawaiian side. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not all about the looks, though, you know.

I've got a great personality. But that's not going to come out. That's not going to come out. Not in five minutes. How long does Hayley have with him? Five minutes. Five minutes. Wow.

Oh, no. I'm going to be like a child. Okay. Well, I'm going to put my best foot forward. I can't believe this. I've got great boobs at the moment. That's all I'll say. That's all I'll say.

That's all I'll say. Well, Monday I'll say. That's all I'll say. Well, Monday, it's going to happen sometime over the weekend. We can't say where or when, but Monday, the interview with Jason Momoa. I'm so excited just to witness this happening. Derek, can you give me a hug? I don't think they touch the interviewers. I'm going to bring my COVID vaccines in. I just got my other one.

Okay, right. Well, you mentioned that you're going to come to the gym now for the first time in a month. I haven't been for a month. We're going to go today. I haven't been for a month. And now you put an interview in. Well, we've been trying all this time.

It's finally happened. Is this why you've been going, come with me? Come to the spin class. The offer is there. So yesterday at the spin class, there was a guy next to me. He was like a hard-out cyclist. He was doing a cycle class, but he had Lycra on. You know, like they wear on the road.

Like on the road. And he had the clippity-cloppity shoes. You've got clippity-cloppity shoes. You've got clippity cloppity shoes. I've got clippity cloppity shoes. Throwing stones. But I don't do any of the other hardcore stuff. No, the padded. And I could see it because I always do my watch.

I always start the cycle class. I have my Apple watch and I started and I could see him look at my watch a couple of times. I was like, oh, he likes that I've got an Apple watch. Because I just want to close the rings. That's all I care about. I'm like, have my daily goal, cycle classes, heaps of that. You're good at closing the rings. I'm good at closing the rings.

And then at the end of the class, he says to me, what did you get up to? Heart rate. And I was like, I don't know. So I looked at my watch. It's like 134 or something. He's like, oh. He heart rate shamed me.

You were heart rate shamed. I was heart rate shamed. He was like, oh. But I've got a really low heart rate. Remember? Yeah, I was going to say, because when I'd done the exact same class that you were doing, mine goes to like 183. Yeah.

And that's too high. I think the other day. Because I'm unfit. The other day when I was doing burpees, I got up to like 170 or 168. And I was like, whoa, am I about to die? Yeah. And that's too high. I think the other day, the other day when I was doing burpees, I got up to like 170 or 168 and I was like, whoa, am I about to die? Yeah. Cause I wake up every morning and my watch is like,

are you, did you die last night? Like, like my heart rate goes to like 38 or 36. You're very fit and you've got, and you've got a low heart rate as is. The heart rate shamed you. The heart rate shamed me and gave me a,

ugh. And then I was like, cause the musical was still going and we were all, everyone was calling down and I was like, I've actually got a really low heart rate shamed you. He heart rate shamed me and gave me a, ugh. And then I was like, the musical was still going and everyone was calling down and I was like, I've actually got a really low heart rate. Oh, babe, you tried to justify it. I tried to justify my heart rate. I was going fast.

I was sweating. Like I was dripping sweat. He thought you were one of those people, and I say this being one of those people, that when they say, crank it up, one more. Oh, you pretend. Oh, you crank it down. That's what I do when I'm going up the hills.

Yeah, yeah. Looks like I'm fiddling with the knob. But you can always tell those people in a cycle class because their legs are going way faster than everyone else's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're not pushing harder. They're not pushing, no. They've got less resistance.

But it was heart rate change. I'm so sorry. What's your heart rate at now? I don't know. How do you find out? I think there's a thing that says heart rate. Heart rate. But I've just got a really low one, so I don't know.

Okay, what are you at? I feel like mine's up. After the Jason Momoa news, what is it? But what's your resting heart rate in general? Currently, it's, see, I got to 39 during the night. It's got an exclamation mark there. 39 to 42. So currently I'm at 69.

Nice. Nice. Mine's 73 for resting. What were you 10 minutes ago? In the last 10 minutes, how old are you? 89. Because you're meeting. I will definitely wear my heart rate monitor when I meet Jason.

Your Apple Watch, yeah, do it. I'm shaking. I am listening to your story. Has the hairdresser gone back to you? Sorry. Yes, she has. What do you need? The whole thing. The whole thing.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Well, today's fact of the day. With Vaughan away with the toothache. Yes, I looked up facts about Jason Momoa. And I'll say he's a pretty normal guy. Do you have any interesting facts? Otherwise, I've got one. Well, you do your one. And then I'll give he's a pretty normal guy. Do you have any interesting facts? Otherwise, I've got one.

Well, you do your one. Yeah. And then I'll give you some of mine. Like bonus. Are you just, have you already started your interview research? Yeah. So, Jason, I hear that you still fix your ex-wife's car for her. Oh, you've got a problem with the ex already?

And then I could, then I could go in and be like, well, you could come check out my car. It's an Audi. And he'd be like, that's pretty Hollywood, baby. It's pretty impressive. I'd be like, get in. Feel her speed. Yeah. Speaking of speed, let's talk about the movie.

I'd be more impressed if you had a motorcycle. How long does it take to get a motorcycle license? I'm very confident on the foot. Loophole, go to Rarotonga today, do the test, get the little license, come back and use it here. Is that allowed? Okay, flights to Rarotonga. I'm just thinking out loud for you.

So this is the fact I've got for today's fact of the day, and it's pretty short and sweet, and it's something I didn't know, and I feel like you will need to Google this or YouTube this once I tell you. Crocodiles can gallop like a horse. Now, which one's the gallop? Is that 2-2-2-2? I'm showing you the video now of this crocodile.

It is 2-2-2-2. Because I thought they'd, like, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy. I know that they can shimmy fast. Yeah, so they do shimmy slow. But that is galloping after a man in a feeding enclosure. And that is fast. Like, did you know they could do that?

So they gallop. So if you don't know what a gallop is, it's when you put two feet forward and then the hind feet forward. Two forward, two forward, two forward. Kind of looks like a cat galloping, right? Gadoof, gadoof, gadoof. But really long and with lots of teeth. Or alligators.

This is crocodiles. And that is today's fact of the day, that crocodiles can gallop like horses. Another reason not to go to Australia. What? They reach such high speeds. Have you got a speed? Crocodile speed.

How fast can a crocodile run? 20 miles an hour. A saltwater croc can do 24 to 29 k's. When you're running as a human, how fast are you running? Like if you were sprinting away from a crocodile. How fast does the average human run? Because that's quite fast. 35Ks.

I mean, you could run 35Ks if your life depended on it. 13K is the average human speed. So you ain't running away from this crocodile. Seriously? You're getting eaten. Yeah, okay. That's not good, is it? Oh, dear.

Jason Momoa was raised in Iowa by his single mother. Right, okay, yeah, you've got a lot of research to do. Yeah, I've got a lot to do there. Yeah, well, today's fact of the day is that crocodiles can gallop. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah.
