The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletchfawn and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletchfawn and Hayley. We'll keep you updated throughout the morning with this wild weather. Sweeping across the country. Yeah.

Did you say sweeping? Sweeping. Sweeping. Sweeping. Sweeping across the country. Sweeping. It's as wet as a jag up there. Because you've got a flight this morning. Sweeping. Sweeping. Sweeping across the country. Sweeping across the country. It's wet as a jag out there. Because you've got a flight this morning.

I do. And I... Leave him. Yeah, because a lot of flights were cancelled yesterday. And you've got a fight this morning. A fight. I go to Joseph Parker. That's coming up at 8 o'clock.

It's a surprise, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, I don't want those. Flights and fights. We organise this for you. We know how much you want to get punched in the face by Joseph Parker. I don't want the head trauma. You'll be right. Put your fists up.

Okay. Put up your jukes. Guys, speaking of head trauma, I've got one of those pimples that has a whole world of its own under the skin. You can't. That one on the surface, that'll burst today. Holy moly. That's like half your face.

I got one on my lip yesterday. Ow. The lip joins the face. Yeah. I like to call that the lip face line. Lip cleavage. In my lip cleavage. Within the lip cleavage. And I was like, oh, and I squeezed it.

Shit, it hurt. It made my eyes water. Those are the hurdiest pimples. Yeah, lip ones. Lip and nose. I hate when you get one of those ones that you've got, you can feel it's like half, it feels like a quarter of your face and nothing comes out.

And you can't do anything about it. Because what's actually under there? I imagine just heaps of white lava. Nah, there's no white lava. It's like, I don't know. Oh, it's something. Have you thought about just maybe just getting rid of your head? Well, I was thinking of getting rid of the bottom half.

Just what, cut it off? That's my money maker there. Imagine this. That's what it'd be like without it. Yeah, no mouth. Hayley,

what do you think on this sound chat? Yeah, that's what it'd be like. Raw sound from my throat. And people would be like,

why does Hayley sound like that? She'd be like, oh, she just can't have her face up because she had a pimple.

Yeah, you've got to get rid of her. Oh, your contract's still going. We can't have her face up because she had a pimple. Yeah. You've got to get rid of her. Her contract's still going. We can't. Hayley's version. Anyway.

Coming up on the show, I've got some movie news. There's a couple of movies that are being made. One is a reboot and one is based on a board game. I'm excited about both of these. One, oh my god, I'm terrified. One is iconic. Have you seen that? This movie that remains unnamed that we've

said is scary and iconic? Yeah, of course I have. Oh, you just don't do horrors. I don't do horrors, but this movie was inescapable. It was a cultural phenomenon. It was the first example of amazing internet marketing. Yes, it was. We gathered around a computer.

We watched the trailer online. Is it real? Is it real? The top six is coming up. Shortland Street under the microscope. You know, TVNZ's cutting budgets. Yeah. And we've lost some, I would say, crucial current affairs and news shows.

Love me some Sunday. Love me some Fair Go. Good that they've kept your baking show, though, and cut all the news. Yeah. Well me some Sunday, love me some Fair Go. Good that they've kept your baking show though and cut all the news. Yeah. Well, yeah, have they? Let's see. Let's see.

Let's see, but Shortland Street, legendary 32-year-old New Zealand soap opera, Shortland Street is under the microscope for is it performing for the amount of money it costs.

Wild day. Show horror, the top six reasons you simply cannot cancel the street. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

This, do you ever see someone so beautiful and wonder what's it like? I see one right now. Oh, that's good.

I see two right now. I see five right now. Good from you. Oh no, Colin's not here but I do see myself in the reflection. Yeah. Give myself that one. Senna's out.

It's left over. Honestly, a team of tens. We are 60 out of 60. Well, I sometimes I look at, I'll see a person and be like, that person is so beautiful. I wonder what it's like to exist like that. Not to neg myself, but like people that you're just like far out you just know

because you meet them sometimes and then they're hot and you're like wow they're hot and then they start like you start interacting with them and you're like

that's the only thing that's the only thing and then they've never been told no I love meeting hot people that have never been told no because they're so beautiful yeah they ask

to do something or ask something and you're like nah and they're like what? yeah what? like I ask you to do something or ask something and you're like, nah. And they're like, what? Yeah. What?

Like, I ask and guys do. Sorry, are you not seeing my face right now? I'm absolutely seeing it, but I'm married and there's absolutely nothing for me here. So, ta-ta. You know they go through life and it's easy. Totally. Like, people stop at crossings for them. They hold open doors. I know.

They don't have to wait in lines for the bar. I know. The world is made for them. So, it's a long know. They don't have to wait in lines for the bar. I know. The world is made for them. So it's a long recognised human bias right? That attractive is good. Attractive is good. That's what that guy said on that Mitre 10 ad. Equals good. Yeah. Attractive is

good. So there's like excuse me, a whole lot of psychological research around how people see physically attractive people, they're perceived more favourable, more trustworthy, all of this, right? And this makes its way into the courtroom where favourability can have huge impact on people's lives,

whether or not you believe a lawyer can put someone in jail or not. And this research has found that if you have a lawyer that is considered physically attractive, you're more likely to be successful in your case. Whether it's getting off something or suing someone. If there's a jury, they'll charm the jury and the jury's like, if I'm nice to this person

I'm like, yeah. Hasn't that also been found for defendants as well that are attractive? Oh really? Like mingers get harder sentences than, I mean obviously if you're murdering someone you're going to prison but you know it has been shown that the more attractive you are the

more lenient judges are. Totally. So if you were like wanting to sue someone and you needed to get a lawyer you gotta get a hot one. Get a hot lawyer. When I get a divorce, when I eventually get married, when will that be?

Let's say next year, 25, let's say in 2030 when we're getting a divorce, I'll get a real hot lawyer and then I'll shag him. Shag the lawyer. Yeah. Okay. I've got to say, It's a thing for me Some big shot

Big shot lawyer In a nice office You know one of those Leather topped Tables Wooden tables You don't want a leather topped table If you're gonna be having sex

With your clients Ruin the leather You'll stain the leather What's coming out? I'm not staining no leather It wouldn't take much to stain leather We love everybody like, oh we took them for all he's worth Sproul, pop the champagne

Champagne's going to stain the leather too It'll get in Marble top Marble top Trying to think of lawyers I know I don't think any of them are your type Sproul, we got him, we took him for everything I left the boy with nothing.

Speaking of nothing, take your clothes off, see? See? I'd be like, ooh. Yes, please. Discount, though. Because lawyers are expensive. Don't know if that's how it works. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little po. Silly little po. It is so silly, silly, silly. Silly little pole, are you eating less takeaways than a year ago? Cause you live in cry. To be honest, sometimes it's cheaper to get takeaways for the family than it is to feed them a healthy meal.

You go to the supermarket and you're like, I was trying to do a good thing here. Yeah. I know like whenever you try to make like pizzas or something,

you just buy them and it's way cheaper. I know. I was in a bit of a grump yesterday. Oh, hi. I was just a bit tired and the kids came home.

They had a school like thing so they didn't get home till like late and they walked in, wet shoes up the hallway. Immediately I was like a bit tired and the kids came home they had a school like thing so they didn't get home till like late and they walked in wet shoes up the hallway immediately I was like shoes off

and then they emptied their lunchbox and they like oh I didn't finish these grapes and they just chucked them in the bin no

dude I was just like you kids have no concept of how much food costs so then they got a kitchen lecture on how much food costs at the moment yeah

and how like those grapes will easily last till tomorrow. Hell yeah. Leave them in the lunchbox, put the lunchbox in the fridge. And if we chuck away food scraps, we don't put them in the bin, we give them to the pigs. So we can eat the pigs later when they're bacon. We're not going to eat them later. Don't eat those pigs.

The idea one day would be to live somewhere where you would feed the pigs the scraps. So you could eat the pigs one day. How good is bacon? Bacon rules. All parts of the pig. Your pigs are I've patted them and I couldn't eat them.

No I couldn't eat them they're gorgeous. I also think they're a little bit too old they'd be a little bit chewy. They're not in this like a cavern. Yeah you're right

when the push came to shove I'd eat them. Also when World War 3 happens you're going to eat those pigs. You're going to eat them. I probably go through my rations quite quick. Yeah you will.

Or your kids will be chucking half of them in the bin. Oh, my God, I'd hit the roof. Could you imagine the lecture? Kids, we're in the middle of World War III, and you're throwing out delicious pig brain? What is wrong with you? Eat up your pig brain.

Yuck. Eat up that. Your mother cooked that over a fire for eight hours. She's a... So they got that. And then they And then I explained to them How much like

The grocery bill was Now compared to like Even last year And then the year before And I was like Everything cost so much And then I think They felt so bad

Good And then you Did you give them dust for dinner And make them eat it Nah And then they went and had a shower And left water all over the floor And like soaked two towels

And didn't pick their towels up Well water bill's going up 25% In the paper today. Tell them that. I pluck my water straight from the Mother Earth. The tears of Mother Earth. Wow, so you're stealing a natural resource from Hayley's people. Yeah, you're probably living on my land, mate.

Whoa. You're from up north. You just can't extend wherever you like. Hayley's water goes underground right to your house. Yeah. Runs right from Kaipara all the way through. All the way down. It's a rich vein of aqua.

On your street. The aqua! Wow. You need to write this wrong. Give me your land. We'll call it even. I'll give you the land. Also the mortgage.

Oh. No. No deal? No deal. No deal for the criminal mortgage. Oh. No. No deal? No deal. No deal for the criminal mortgage? God damn it. So, Little Paul, are you eating less takeaways than a year ago? That's what we're here to discuss.

69% said yes, they are eating less takeaways than this time of year. That's surprising. And 31% said no, not eating any less than last year. Absolutely, said Emma. Got carried away trying all the new takeaways when we moved to Perth two years ago. And now we barely eat them.

Much prefer a meal kit. Tastes nicer and honestly quicker than waiting for Uber Eats to arrive. You do have to try out your locals when you move somewhere. You do have to try them all do you know we went to go there's a place I'm not going to say what they are because they're a fantastic business local business and everything but it's like a once every few months

treat out our ways oh yes yes yes so good so delicious but so expensive really expensive and we went to go to it last night and I said to Shota I was, that's just not in the budget this week. Yeah. Like, that's not.

Well, especially when your kids are wasting grapes. Just throwing grapes out, left, right, bloody centre. Willie and Willie. Willie and Nilly. Yeah. That's what I might start calling them when they've been wasted. Willie and Nilly. I might start calling them Willie and Nilly.

August is Willie, eh? Nah, she'll be Nilly, because she's second, you know, chronologically. Yeah, but attitude-wise, she's Willie. Yeah. She's Nilly. Nilly. Nilly Willie. Yeah, August is Willie. Yeah. Indy be Nilly because she's second chronologically. Yeah, but attitude-wise, she's Willie. Indies. She's Nilly. Nilly Willie. Yeah, August is Willie. Yeah.

Good on you. Good on you. Caitlin says, I have a boyfriend now who pays for my takeaways, devil face. That's nice. That's good. We all want a boyfriend. You've got to get yourself one of those. I'll have one.

A feeder. That's what you need. I would be in so much trouble If I had a feeder Because I would just be the eater Oh same Yeah I would straight up be on 600 pound sisters

I love me my sodies, Pop. Bring Pop another sodie, Willie and Nilly. Willie and Nilly, you know you don't chuck your food in the bin, you put it in Papa's mouth. Emma says, empty their lunchboxes straight into Papa's mouth. To be honest,

most of the time if they leave their lunchboxes on the bench and I open it up and there's like half eaten stuff, it is just the um, um, um. 100% still love a good takeaway, but they're just not as cheap as they used to be. Hard to justify $30 for one meal these days. Yeah. I know. That's crazy. I know.

We got two Chinese takeaways last night for $28. I was like, that's pretty good. Yum. Yeah. I know. It's crazy. I know. We got two Chinese takeaways last night for $28. I was like, that's pretty good. Yum. Two. Yeah. Did you go sweet and sour pork? Yeah. Fried rice.

Fried rice. No, they didn't have lemon chicken out. And they're out of black bean beef. Oh, was it a smorgie board? Yeah. Oh, a smorgie board. Did you really ram it in there? Smorgie board.

Did you get the lid on? No, because they ram it in for you. And they're not scared Did you really ram it in there? Smorgie board. Did you get the lid on? No, because they ram it in for you. And they're not scared. They will ram it in. Yeah, but do they put in too many carbs? Carbohydrates? Fillers. No.

I said not too much rice. Go heavy on the sweet and sour pork and the mixed veggie and chicken. Okay. And they ram it in. I only went with the mixed veggie and chicken because there was nothing green in there otherwise. It was all like meat and sauce and rice. Yum. We there otherwise. It was all meat and sauce and rice. Yum. Are we the two-year-old and a new baby on the way?

Our takeaway date night's once a week or a lifesaver, says Kat. Yeah, good. Rose, no, because last year I was just porky and this year I'm poor and porky. That's all, folks. I hated that. Yeah, me too. That's all, folks. I hated that. Yeah, me too. That's all, folks.

Some movie news next. A movie based on a board game is coming, thanks to Margot Robbie, and a classic is being rebooted. Terrifying. Details next. ZM. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. A couple of movies in the works. Some announcements yesterday.

TMZ reporting that Margot Robbie, who people may not know actually produced, was one of the producers of the Barbie movie. Her production company made it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she got a lot of money, not just for being in it, but, you know, because it was one of the biggest movies of last year.

And then she announced something about Sims. We talked about that, right? A Sims project of some sort. A Sims movie. And yesterday announcing that there will be a Monopoly movie. Wow. With Margot Robbie involved, whether she's producing it or not. Real life? Live action?

Yeah. I want to be in it. Because then you're just in too many movies about games and stuff. And like typecast and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, boo her. She made $50 million at least of

Barbie. She's a writer. For an Australian as well, you're like, far out. That's money. We know someone that knows her, has known her for years,

like semi-childhood friends of her. And wouldn't that be weird if all of a sudden your childhood friend was like the biggest name in the world and insanely rich.

You'd be like, I mean, it's not overnight success. Margot Robbie's worked at it. Yeah. Oh, from neighbours. Oh, home and away? Was she home and away or neighbours? Neighbours. Neighbours. You'd certainly hope she was bringing some premium snacks to your next drinks. If we're going out to dinner. I know. Oh God, Sarah's in such a rush.

Or at the end of dinner, she's like, how are we splitting this? We're splitting it one way, your way. I'd be like, Margot, please. Are you serious? Are you really serious? Are you serious? Oh no.

Oh no. Oh no. Because she's got a group of friends she's had since she was kids. They always go to the red carpets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're just like, hi. And they call her maggot. They scream maggot at her. Maggot, maggot. Because they're just this and they call her maggot they scream maggot at her maggot maggot

because they're just this Aussie normal people that's exciting news because I love Monopoly I'd say it's my favourite board game of all time

I've got three editions do you? I've collected Monopolies for a while I've got my Pop's old original like British one gorgeous

we had one of those growing up I've got the New Zealand one why? well one of the little figur. Yeah, I've got the New Zealand one. Why? Well, one of the little figurines was a slave, wasn't it? I didn't have a slave. Not on our one. We didn't have a slave.

I'm only kidding, I'm only kidding. But I'm sure it's actually... I was like, I think so. Wheelbarrow. It's a slave ship. You know, the ship in it, that's actually a slave ship. Oh, is it? I thought it was like the Titanic.

Yeah, and the dog sniffs out slaves. Yeah, right. There's a whole lot of problems there. And the iron was a slave's iron to do the ironing with. No, if you're any game old enough, I'm sure you'd find something problematic in it. Oh, definitely. So that's one bit of exciting movie news.

Second one, reboot. I don't know if it's a remake or a sequel or just following within the world, Blair Witch Project. Now, I watched this on my 13th birthday with my bestie. And we were, like like in tears terrified. That last shot. Oh, and the knees in the corner. In the corner.

The worst. Simply the worst. It's me to the start. I'm 34 years old. This is 21 years on. And I still think about that, the camera going. So I remember at the time there was this big hype about it. And it was complete marketing.

It was the end of 99. It was 99. I remember it so clearly because we were like doing up this van for our summer of freedom. We were finishing high school and we were in Callum's parents' shed, taking the rust out of this van, getting it all ready for our adventures we were going to have. The virgins tour of New Zealand.

Yeah, dude. Big virgin energy. And that was actually what powered the van. Virgins. It didn't run. We converted it so it ran on virginity. Virginity. God, that thing never ran out of gas.

It just powered through. You guys still virgins? Does masturbation count? No. No. Cool man jumping the van. And Callum's uncle came out and was like, have you heard about this thing?

There's a witch that's got some people. Yeah. And we were like, what? And it was on the internet. And we gathered around the computer and he showed us. And we were like, what? And it was on the internet and we gathered around the computer and he showed us and we were like, that's a movie trailer. He's like, no, it's a documentary. Yeah. So it was marketed.

And it was so well made. All the marketing campaign listed all the actors as missing or deceased. Yeah. Do you know it was made for between $35,000 and $60,000? Yeah. And it was one of the biggest movies of the year, right? Immediately made like 250 mils. Some insane

bidding war over it at Sundance. It went to Sundance or one of the film festivals and afterwards every movie company was like, this is the new way to make movies. But because the internet wasn't as prevalent as it is now, it was very hard to get online.

People believed this hype, so people would tell their friends. Have you been on the internet lately? People still believe bullshit on the internet with very little proof. Yeah, that's true. So Blum, is it Blumhouse? Blumhouse. Blumhouse. That's the production house that's remaking it.

They made Megan, you know, the robot. Yeah. And they've done a few other ones, eh? The Purge. The Purge, yeah. The Paranormal Activity. Five Nights at Freddy's. I remember Paranormal Activity, that was after Blair Witch.

It was after. But that was kind of inspired. That was made for nothing as well. That was inspired by Blair Witch, I think. That same, like, hand cam vibe. So it's been announced that they're doing a, they're calling it a reboot. Like of the franchise?

They're going to make more? Yeah. No, they'd already had sequels and stuff. I don't know if we need it because we all know it's not. The magic of the first time round was that no one was quite sure

what the story was. Yeah, and that's why it worked is you believe these people were actually dead or missing. Oh my God, yeah, it was so real.

Because they marketed it as the footage was found, right? Yeah. Found footage, yeah. Found footage, yeah. Found footage.

And it's all on handy cams. There's no, except for in Blair Witch Project 2, it switched to film. Yeah. Remember at one point there, your film switched to a more cinematic world as opposed to the handy cam. Yeah. But that first one,

I'm looking at the images of the first one in this article and I'm like, literally. You're taken back. Oh, it's awful. It's coming back. Just along that paranormal activity costs $15,000 to make. of the first one in this article and I'm like literally you're taken back oh it's awful it's coming back just along that paranormal activity

cost $15,000 to make and made like millions millions and millions and millions and millions I'm going to watch it this weekend Blair Witch

nah I'm feeling brave do not I do not need to but if I saw a pile of sticks after that movie for like years I was like

absolutely not oh yeah same absolutely not she's here get that pile of sticks after that movie for like years. I was like, absolutely not. Oh yeah, same. Absolutely not. She's here. Get that pile of sticks out of here. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Today, Auckland Airport warning that today will be the busiest

because it's the, I believe Vaughan, the start of the school holidays. You have two school children. Sorry. She's allergic to children. Even the mention of the school holidays, you have two school children. Oh, sorry. She's allergic to children. Even the mention of them will set off her Pelovian response. That came right from the womb and right out. My womb was like, don't use me.

That's how she gets the eggs out, both ends. She sneezes them out and sneezes and bleeds them out. Yeah, I don't menstruate. I sneeze. You sneeze them out. Sneeze out my eggs. So if you see Hayley with a bleeding nose, it's that time of the month.

Give us some space. So Auckland Airport yesterday, I know there were 45 flights cancelled yesterday across the country. So windy. A lot of the smaller regional flights as well because the smaller planes obviously get what? Sorry, behind you, Shannon took off her jacket. Her strap fell down and half her boob bloody popped out

and I caught it. Shannon! Shannon! We are trying to do a radio show here. Please keep your breasts in your dress. Shannon's little face looked at me like, whoo! What are you going to say? Her little breast looked at you? No, no, no. I didn't see the eye. It was a nude bra.

A nude bra. Oh, okay. Sure it was. Maybe a little misleading about how much breasts you've seen. Far out. Anyway. Okay, well if I can get back to my serious. I thought you were like, ah, because Fletch said about the regional planes. No, no, no. Because you're flying regionally. You are on a regional flight.

You're going to Palmy this morning. Those might have been the last breasts you ever see. You might as well drink it in, buddy. Drink it in. Sorry, Shannon. So you're going down somewhere in the Kaimana Wars. Auckland Airport say with both the domestic and international terminals, we'll see the equivalent of the population of Tauranga,

about 160,000 people passing through. What a horrible way to look at it. It's one day. Get there early. Yeah, this is over the first weekend of the school holidays. I'll probably take off now, guys. Yeah. But I'm going regional so I don't have to do

the painful Auckland security, which is... But I am looking... I do love how they don't care if you're going to take a knife on board a small plane. Yeah, you can shank a rural pilot, but we won't have you touching our domestics. No, they have the doors locked.

Yeah. Just looking this morning, a lot of arrivals into Auckland have been already cancelled or delayed. Some of the regional flights. Oh, no. She was a windy Cindy. Check ahead, because, yeah, a lot of wild weather over the country today is causing a lot of delays and disruptions.

We'll update you with the latest with Bryn at seven. The top six is next. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Blah, blah, blah, blah.

TVNZ has confirmed it's looking into the cost-effectiveness, basically, of Shortness Street. It's under review. It's a very expensive production. It's a New Zealand classic, though, right? Yeah, but, I mean, they've already come back. Like, do you remember they got rid of Neighbours and then Amazon It's a very expensive production. It's a New Zealand classic though, right? Yeah. But I mean, they've already cut back. Do you remember they got rid of Neighbours

and then Amazon brought that back? Yeah. And then is Home and Away still going? But Neighbours was massive in the UK. Home and Away's still going. Neighbours was massive in the UK. So I think Amazon looked at that as, yes, Australia and the UK, that would quantify the amount of money spent to bring it back.

But they were only bringing it back in bunches right it wasn't everyday like the old school way of doing soaps such a shame like for the industry because

Shaun Street is has launched so many careers maybe that's going to be one of the numbers so we won't discuss that too much alright well there we go

I shall shut my mouth it costs a lot of money so they're just looking into it and then are people like still watching costs a lot of money. So they're just looking into it. And then are people still watching? A lot of people aren't watching live TV, but I know that they're watching on demand.

Was it one stage TV and set on demand's the largest show? Yeah. Right. I think in general the number of people watching TV is down. But of the people that are watching, I think people are still watching it. People are certainly watching that baking show Hayley does. They love it. It rated really well, didn't it?

They are absorbing the great Kiwi Bake Off. Long may it last. And they are always saying, she's interesting about Jordan. Because they're old people and they don't quite know how to process a young woman who's slim, who makes cakes with tattoos and revealing clothing. Yes. It's a really confusing thing for the old amongst us. And the other judge,

is he a bit... Is he a bit... Is he a gay Maori? Is he? Is he a gay Maori? Is he a gay Maori? They've got a bit of everything. They've got a bit of everything.

And the other host next to Hayley, where's he from? Where's he from? It's not India. It's not India. No, it's not getting India, but it's somewhere nearby. It's one of the stans.

Yeah, one of the... It'll be one of the stans, I feel. It's one of the stans. One of the lowest stans. Very handsome. Oh, he's a handsome boy. Is he? Or is it just the other?

I don't think it's the other one. Is she? Oh, it's a spicy cast, I tell you. Are they all? Yeah. Oh, I think they've all had a little... Dabble there and there and there. Top six reasons you absolutely cannot cancel Shortener Street.

Number six on the list. Chris Warner was approaching bedding his 1,000th nurse. And you know that's a big milestone that we'd love to see him reach. Love to see him reach. Huge day. I imagine the cast would have a cake that day. It'd be an honour to be the 1,000th as well. Yeah.

God. And he'd have a card and he'd open it up. And as he opened it, it'd be one of those cards and a P would go into a V. Or it's a set of legs that open. You open it up. And he can put, no. Number five on the list of the top six reasons you absolutely can't cancel Shortland Street.

It has given us such stars as Carl O'Brien. Yes. Martin Henderson. Yes. Waverly. And the guy that got arrested at West Auckland's Lincoln Road pack and save for stealing a block of cheese. That's right. What's that?

That was the guy that was on Coro, eh? He was on Coro. He was a British guy. And he was like the bad boy. And he got stealing Coro. That's right. Because it's just the closest. I've got good stories.

Okay, well, here, that was off air. Oh, okay. Just for litigious reasons But he went for a lunch break And walked out a pack and save And stole a block of cheese That's right It was pretty wild times He played Kim Crossman's

Boyfriend Naughty bad boy Naughty bad boy lover Yeah Number four on the list Of the top six reasons You can't cancel Shortland Street

Police think Even a motorway patrol Are gone So what are New Zealanders Going to watch online to feel close to home when they're on their OE in the UK? Yeah. Exactly.

Got to hear the accent. Got to hear that beautiful accent. Oh, no, doctor. What have we got here? Oh, looks like cancer, bro. Oh, stink, bro. Better put a plaster on it. Put a plaster.

Got a plaster? Number three on the list of the top six reasons you can't cancel Shortland Street. Who will teach us basic first aid? There has been more than the occasional story of someone that comes across a car accident or someone who's had a heart attack and they do CPR or they know what to do. And people are like, how do you know what to do? Did you do a first aid course?

And people said, no, I said Shortland Street. Sort of shorties. Yeah. That's how I know how to intubate. Shortland Street. What? What do you do?. That's how I know how to intubate. Shortland Street. What? What do you do? Put the tube in there.

Tilt the head back. Please don't. Please don't. If I need that can you just wait till the ambulance gets there? Fine, you can die.

You will die if Fletch doesn't intubate you with a garden hose. I'll wait. I'm good, I'll wait. We'll do it with a garden hose.

Fine. Number two on the list of the top six reasons you simply cannot cancel Shortland Street. Who will we recognise from television when we see them in the wild and yell their television show name at them? Waverley! Hey!

Shortland Street! Lionel! You know how exciting it was as a young man to come to the Big Smoke and see possibly on Queen Street someone who was on Shortland Street and then just gawk at them like this. I know.

Not say anything. Just make a weird noise and gawk at them. Yeah. Oh my God, it's Shanti. Shanti got gawked at so much. Always. Shanti was, everyone loved to gawk. Is that, is that Rangy? The ambulance driver Shanti was, everyone loved her gawk. Is that,

is that Rangy? The ambulance driver. Oh yeah, Rangy's hot. Rangy. Rangy and Donna. Oh yeah. They turned out to be related.

Oh no. Remember? Yeah. That was yucky. Should have cancelled it then, to be honest. And number one of the top six reasons

you can't cancel Shorter Street, if you cancel it now, we'll never know if it's you or if it's me. The great unanswered question. We will literally be lost at sea. And I think a change is not what we need.

We need to stay with Shortland Street. Beautiful. That's a nice top six. It's the season of treats. That's what it feels. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. It's the season of treats. That's what it feels like at the moment. We're transitioning into later, darker nights. Judging by how much weight I've put on over the last six months, I'd say she's been the couple of three seasons of treats.

Dude, I know. Look. What ebbs. But we always say she's at the social media desk, also the treats desk, and she's living up to the name, Shannon. Yeah. You're giving yourself a little treat. Yeah, I started doing it about two weeks ago,

and I didn't even think about it. But basically I bought a pack of lint balls. How young? Please pronounce it correctly. Linda Tit. Linda Tit. Linda Tit. Thank you.

So I started. It's my favourite ball, actually. My favourite block of balls. When it comes to balls, Friday Rankin's balls. Any balls? Linda Tit's Thank you. So I started... It's my favourite ball, actually. My favourite block of balls. When it comes to balls, Friday Rankin's balls. Any balls? Linda Tit's up there. Well, obviously Maltesers, but they're different. Oh, he's got one.

How do you have a Linda Did ball in your bag? That package arrived. It was just addressed to ZM. So we opened it and it was just some music stuff, but it had Linda balls in it and I stole all the Linda balls. You did. And then you put the package on Ross Boss' desk. And I said, there's a package for you.

And he must have the Linda balls. No, I opened it. You ate a Linda tip ball. I put the wrapper in it and then we gave it to Ross. As a little F you. And actually, do you know what? He opened it and he went, someone's already opened this. And I went, oh, that's crazy.

It was us. So you had a little Linda tit ball. Yeah, I bought a pack and then on the way home from the supermarket, I didn't have enough space in all my handbag and stuff. So I left them in the car and I was like, that's a tomorrow Linda tit. And then on my way home from work the next day,

I was like, what a treat. Oh my God, I've got the Linda tits. And because our car park is underground and it's not too warm. So they were like that perfect you know how you want them a little bit a little oozy a little bit but not melted yep and then so i just went this is my new life so for like two-ish weeks every day i get into the car and you have a linda's tit just one you have a linda tit just one to tint and

and i enjoy this beautiful treat and I stop myself because I said I've only done one day's work, so one lindertit. Oh, that's great self-control. I can barely stop at one lindertit. Especially when you're stuck in traffic. You're like, oh, I've got this traffic, I might have a lindertit. I'm going to have nine lindertits. No, but I've been so restrained.

And so I had an OG pack, the red ones, and then I moved to salted caramel. Oh, I've heard they are good. The white ones are the best. Delish. And so now I'm about to finish out that pack. I'm just, this is my life. Yeah.

You've got to get the mix. The mix ones are amazing. Really? If you're ever going through the Doha airport, there's like, you know, all the duty-free shopping. There's a Linda did pick and mix. You're cutting me. Oh, shut it.

And they give you a mug and you just puck your own balls. You are cutting me. Isn't there one in Melbourne as well? Oh, my God. Is there? I'm pretty sure. I've done it before. But it's like any pick and mix.

You remember when there was a pick and mix at the movies and you'd get like heaps of Coke bottles and all the lollies and then it'd be like $1,800. $1,800. Yeah, it's like that. It's expensive. That was 1990s money as well. That would sort me out for a year though.

Yeah, I know. So does this get you through your work day knowing that in a few hours you're going to be able to get into your car and get a lint ball? Because I think about the temperature it's at. Like I just think about that. And yesterday I left my friend Green in the car, so I came back to ice water, because it's still icy, and a Lindt.

And it was so good. Do you know the Lindt actually has a name? It's the Lindt Lindor. Lindor, that's it. Lindor is what they call it. Let me, I'm on the official website. Do you guys want to hear some flavours? Do you know what?

Before you do that, I met the head chocolatier. He came over from Switzerland. When he was walking out to meet you, was he walking on a cane really slowly? Then all of a sudden he did a roly-poly and he stood up and he was like, welcome to my factory. No, but he is in a full white chef's thing with a hat, like one of those white tall hats. With the chef hats with the ruffles in it, the 99 ruffles.

With the ruffles and a limited. It was a rat under the hat. And I met him. He came on Bake Off for our like chocolate special and I was like, I feel starstruck. That's a big get.

Thank you. It was a big get. It was a big get. That's a huge get. And did he give you any free lindended balls? We were, that year,

we were inundated. Is that when you bought some in? Yeah. Did you bring some in? Yeah, I remember that. On the decoration of the set were these huge glass tubes filled with lindertits.

I feel like this is absolutely non-spawn. We're giving them a lot of free points here. When you're good, you're good. When you do a good chocolatey ball, you'll find a friend in... You got a friend in us. Do you know, when I was at uni and I had no money, there was a dairy at the end of my

street and I used to go in and he knew who I was and he knew I had no money and he used to give me a lindertip ball for free. Did he have sample lindertips? He'd just give it to me. He wanted to absolutely, he wanted you to play with his lindertip balls. His lindertip. So here's the flavours. Okay.

Cheesecake. That's a no from me. What? A cheesecake flavoured one? No, that's a no from me. It's a hard yes from Hayley. Blueberries and cream. No.

I've had the strawberries cream. Blood orange. No. What? It's like a cherry chocolate. It might be like a cherry chocolate orange. A Terry's chocolate orange. A Terry's chocolate orange.

Yum. There's a white one. The white one's the best. Yeah, I've had the white one. And there's a coconut. The coconut one's really good. There's a dark assorted bag. Yeah, okay. There's hazelnut. Yeah, that's good really good. There's a dark assorted bag. Yeah, okay.

Are you having your ball? Oh, my God. You didn't even share it. We could have all had a bite of that. Linda's Tit. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Do you know what?

We hit a rich vein of passion there with the Linda's Tit chat. We did. Somebody has messaged in saying that you're saying it wrong. No, we're not. Linda's Tit. Linda's Tit. Linda's Tit is how it's with the Linda's Tit chat. We did. Somebody has messaged in saying that you're saying it wrong. No we're not. Linda's Tit. Linda's Tit is how it's said. There's a D and a T. How else are we saying it? Linda's Tit. Somebody went to the Linda's Tit

chocolate factory in Switzerland in January. Their best flavour was strattatella. Which is cheese. Stretchy. Strattatella. Which is cheese. Stretchy. Stracciatella is a variety of gelato consisting of milk-based gelato and five fine strands of drizzle of chocolate throughout. I just had to Google.

I thought stracciatella, maybe it's something else. I'm salivating hard with all this chat about listeners. It's the final ranking. God, if they don't send us a bloody box after that voice break. I'll contact my friend in Switzerland. Send us to Switzerland. Send us to Switzerland. Although I am still angry at the Swiss.

Pick a side. Do you know what I mean? You like their knives, so. I love their knives. They're Victor Noctua. I love everything about Switzerland, apart from the fact that they won't pick a side. It's time for final rankings.

We do this every Friday. Today, we will be discussing our top three Mr. Men and Little Miss characters. so is it the list is

all inclusive or we get three men, three women? Oh. Far out. I'm actually like looking at them now

I'd forgotten all of the characters. I know. Like, the characters. I know. Like, remember Mr. Nose? Mr. Messy is just like pink squiggles. Yeah. Yeah, but Mr. Messy ruled. Mr. Snow can get in the bin because he was like a full snowman,

and the deal was with the Mr. Mens is they just had to be a simple shape. Yes. Yeah. And Mr. Snow was a full snowman. He helped Santa, I agree. That's a fantastic thing to do at Santa's busiest time of the year, but get in the bin, you're a snowman. I love. That's a fantastic thing to do at Santa's busiest time of the year. But get in the bin. You're a snowman.

I love Mr. Nosey. He's just a green character with a big long nose. I mean, Mr. Happy. He was everywhere. I like Mr. Greedy. Because Greedy kind of looks like Grimace. Why did we get onto this? They just popped up in our brain, didn't they?

Yeah. I'm going to go Mr. Tickle number one because of the arms. Canceled, though. Has he been, though? He is, he's not on there. Have there been allegations? There's allegations. I'm going Little Miss Naughty.

Fairly serious. Fairly serious. Like R. Kelly level allegations. Big R. Kelly energy. Although those were... Yeah, right. I liked Mr. Silly. Yes.

Because you couldn't see his eyes and he was wearing a top hat and he was just silly. I liked him being silly. Wasn't there a chatterbox? Was that Little Miss Chatterbox? I like Little Miss Sunshine. Oh, yeah, Little Miss Sunshine.

Yeah, Little Miss Princess. It's so hard to pick. Who's Mr. Bump with the bandage around his head? Yeah. He's a silly bugger. He's a very silly bugger. I don't know how to choose. Mr. Topsy-Turvy wore his boots on his hands and his hat upside down.

I always quite like that energy. You're an idiot. Mr. Strong was square. Mr. Tall with the really long legs. Long in the legs. Yes, long in the leg, actually. Long in the leg. Maybe I'll go Mr. Tickles.

Yeah. And then I'll go Mr. Rush because I'm always a fast walker and in a rush. Yeah. And then I'll go Mr. Rush because I'm always a fast walker and in a rush and then I'll go I like Mr. Jelly because he's like So you're doing three men? Wow

No women in your top three? Wow No one In 2024 The patriarchy Strong in the Little Miss world Yeah I'm going to go Little Miss Naughty

She had that big the big teeth big smile purple bow in the hair She's like I'm so naughty I feel like youughty. She had the big teeth, big smile, purple bow in the hair. She's like, hee hee, I'm so naughty. I feel like you're a little bit Miss Fabulous too. Thank you so much for calling me fabulous. No worries.

I'm going to go Little Miss Naughty. I'm going to go Little Miss Sunshine. She's so recognisable. She's a classic. And then I'm going to go Mr. Nosy. Or Mr. Tall. She was kind of the leader. Yeah, Mr. Tall.

Mr. Bearded and Mr. Jason Marmar. I thought it might have been on your list. Is he here? I didn't see the list. He's one of the misters. I like Little Miss Chatterbox. Yep. She was good.

Yeah, she's on the phone. I don't want to put her on my list, but shout out to Little Miss Fickle because everyone is like, I'm not Little Miss Fickle. But the ones that said they weren't Miss Fickle, they were absolutely Little Miss Fickle. So fickle. Little Miss Chatterbox. Such a fickleickle, they were absolutely Little Miss Fickle. So fickle.

A Little Miss Chatterbox. Such a fickle thing to say, too. That's actually so fickle. Yeah. It's so fickle. So fickle. Oh, my God, Vaughan, you mentioned that you had a bubble bath.

I remember the products. I had a bubble bath from the Mr. Men world. Yeah, and he stood, and that was Mr. Silly, and he took your hat off. I think that's why Mr. Tickle got cancelled. He ended up naked in a few baths. Oh, God.

Yeah, I know. He did look at me when I was in the bath. He was a bit handsy. Mind you, Mr. Skinny probably would have ended up in a couple of baths too. He would have ended up up a couple of baths already. Adventurous. Adventurous Mr. Skinny. Always give him a bungee cord though so he can get out again.

Important to learn. Okay, we're locking off our top three. I can't remember what I said. Miss Chatterbox. Mr. Silly. We've all gone completely different ones. Yeah, we've all gone wild. So I think we'll just leave it at that for today's final ranking.

Yeah, just a quality. Everyone's the same. Mr. Nosey is packing. Oh, yeah, a gigantic, huge. You know what they say. Nose penis. Big nose. Big boogers. Is that what they say. Nose penis. Big nose. Big boogers.

Is that what they say? Massive boogers. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM's. Go to school. You know, get an education. You know, I love Scrabble. Scrabble's, like, really popular in our family.

My dad and I play it all the time. We do a lazy Scrabble. Scrabble's like really popular in our family. My dad and I play it all the time. We do a lazy Scrabble. What is that? The board's on the table. You've got your little, your rack of letters and stuff. You'll pop in, you'll do a word, but you might be watching a movie. You might go out, come back. My turn, play again.

Oh, yeah. We'll cheat. We'll play over ages. What do you mean? How are you cheating? We've seen their letters. No, no, no. You hide your letters.

Oh, you hide your letters. Oh, you hide your letters. No, you move your rack around with you. Yeah, but when someone's, like, he could be in the toilet and you could just find another vowel. Yeah, you flip, you do a few, she's done it, a few tile flips and find an A and an E. I would never do that to my father. I like to beat him fair and square. You just have to look at him in your face like you would totally have done that.

I have never cheated at a game of Scrabble. What is the highest scoring word in Scrabble? Like quiz or something on a triple word score. It'd be longer than quiz. It'd have a... Quisticles. Quisticles, yeah. Oh, my God.

And then you have that argument. Oxifenbutazone is an anti-inflammatory drug and a recognised word in the Scrabble dictionary. It is theorised to be the highest scoring legal word that could actually fit on the Scrabble board and you could hit triple A's. But does it have seven letters? None of it matters anymore.

None of it matters anymore. None of it matters anymore. So the internet is ablaze with rage. They're calling it woke Scrabble because there's a new version of Scrabble that's coming out. It's a flippable board. One side is your normal regular Scrabble

where there's points on the board Scrabble, where there's points on the board, triple words, and there's points on the letters, and all that kind of stuff. Flip her over, and you can play Scrabble together. Because apparently, Gen Z is a little bit intimidated by Scrabble. And points in winning and

losing. Points in winning and losing. I have played Scrabble more times without keeping score than I ever have keeping score. What's the point? Just making fun words. No, you've got to win. And we had the upwards. This is you.

Do you ever play upwards? This is you. Upwards ruled. It was like Scrabble but you could stack the letters on top of each other. They're saying it's a game for people that just want

to enjoy words, language and playing together. It's more family friendly. It's for losers. It's for losers. It's for losers. It's for losers. It's for losers.

It's for losers. It's for losers. It's for losers. It's for losers. It's for losers. It's for losers. It's for losers. It's for losers.

It's for losers. It's for losers. It's for losers. So there's like cards and stuff. So you'd pick up a card and it's got a challenge. It'll be like, make a three letter word and you just put it down. Like cat. Well done.

And then if you can't do it, that's when you're like, no, darn it. Your turn now. That's not what life's like. So there'll be no point using the word jam. Yeah, like all the time I'm trying to spell the hardest word I possibly can for points in life. What are you talking about? All the time. Never trying to spell the hardest word I possibly can for points in life. What are you talking about? All the time. Never.

You quizzical. Never. Who cares if people are having fun with it? Well, we can't play a game now without someone being the winner. I think that's the thing. Oh, God, now what? There's no money in Monopoly. We're not playing that.

Yeah, what are you just going to look at the houses? I'm just here. I'm just perusing. Yeah. Do you want to buy it? I don't have the money. You don't need money. Have it. I don? I'm just here. I'm just perusing. Yeah. Do you want to buy it? I don't have the money. You don't need money. Have it.

I don't have to pay rent. I'm on a road trip. I'm living in my car. Oh, my gosh. Vaughn's just living in the van icon of Monopoly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And everybody else is keeping all their tokens away from me because I'm the creepy man living in a van.

Put me in jail. Sounds great. Three square meals. Bloody workout with the lads. Yeah, I van. Put me in jail. Sounds great. Three square meals. Bloody workout with the lads. Yeah, I'd like a year in jail. Workout with the lads. I get so strong a lot. But it's time watching the tally.

A few cuddles. Get myself a girlfriend. Yeah, absolutely. Cuddles if you want. Strong girlfriend. What would your prison girlfriend be like? Butch! Like I'm talking

almost a man. Okay. As close to a man as I could find him there. Right. Butch, big, burly woman. But if it had to be one of the Monopoly tokens. The dog.

Then you could play with the dog. Nah, you don't want a yappy girlfriend. I'll just have the hat. Then I'd be warm. No, the boot. Big pair of lesbian Doc Martens the comedy fest

is coming up which means Hayley is gigging a lot I'm doing lots of gigs in the evenings is it like kind of where you test jokes and stuff

hey hey hey I'll say 50% of what I test I did did 20 minutes, 15 minutes last night. Yeah. I'd say 50% of it was good. 50% of it was a bit lost on my crowd. Really? Small crowd.

It was an intimate crowd, we'll call it. This would put me off. I'd be like, I'm not doing comedy tests anymore. Yeah, and then I'd be like. No, you have to die. I'd go out and I'd be like, hey, I'd say one joke. If no one laughed, I'd be like, you know what? I'm going home.

I don't need this bullshit. Screw home. I don't need this bullshit. Screw you. I don't need it all. Cancel my comedy set. Was it Larry David where he would walk out and if he didn't vibe the crowd, he'd just walk off? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Walk out, vibe check. I'd love to do that.

Nah, this isn't my crowd. Walk off. Yeah. Vibe check. Quick vibe check. Quick vibe check. Nah, not worth it. Yeah.

It was all right. It was a pro night, so there was five people on, I think, the lineup. Okay. Including the wonderful, he hath returned home, Steve Wrigley, who will hate that I'm telling this story. How did Stephen Wrigley show his face in this country after what he did? What did he do? He left.

He left, didn't he? He knows what he did. He moved to America. He knows why he had to leave. He left us here. He left us. He knows what he did. Only nice things to say about you two, I'll tell you what.

Anyway. That's what he did. He said nice things and we said it's time to leave. And you said get out of here. Get the hell out of this country. He had a moment that I always think about. I don't emcee a lot. Like, emcee is like, runs the night, right?

They come out, they do a little bit of their own comedy, and then they say, all right, are you ready? Okay, first act, here he comes. Welcome to the stage, Ben Hurley. Right right ben comes out and welcome to the stage welcome to the stage haley sproul over stage and i'm always like i've done it a couple of times and in my head the whole time i'm doing my little bit at the top i'm being like carl fletcher carl fletcher carl fletcher don't forget don't forget carl fletcher carl fletcher carl fletcher all right you guys ready for some comedy welcome to the stage carlletcher. And I had that moment where you think,

don't forget their name. Steve got up on stage to start the second half. Nailed the first half. He starts having a bit too much fun. He was like, oh, I'm not going to do much. I won't do much

and then I'll bring on the next act. The whole time he was saying to this comedian who he didn't know, remind me your name again. Remind me the name. Da da da da da. Oh my God.

Tell me he wrote it on his hand or something. Nope. So he's down there. He starts having fun name again. Remind me the name. Da-da-da-da-da. Oh my God. Tell me he wrote it on his hand or something. Nope. So he's down there. He starts having fun. Crowd's vibing. He's like, I'm going to keep going.

So he's getting into his own set. The moment it comes to introduce the next comedian, we hear the silence drop and we're in the green room, me and Ben Hurley going like, oh no. He's forgotten the name.

Oh, he's forgotten the name. And then you hear, everybody, make some noise, put your hands together for your next act. And you hear Steve busting offstage, up the stairs, in the green room, pick up the note that has everyone's comedian, all the names, run back down, and then he says the name of the guy.

And then he comes up into the green room when this comedian takes to the stage and dies. He's just like, well, it's so rude. He's just like, I feel so rude that I forgot. Was the comedian okay with it? He didn't care. He didn't care. He didn't care.

What was the comedian's name? I can't remember. I've never worked with him before. Yeah, I know. We didn't really chat I'm because I'm not saying like and the next comedian is going to be

as much a surprise to you as it is to me please welcome them well do you know who I think I just rude and I forgot people's single names

all the time yeah but he had made an effort to try and remember this guy's name yeah yeah yeah and his name wasn't like John Smith like it was

you know an unfamiliar name to him. But, you know, there's some comedians that have a habit of doing this. They're like, I can't ever remember your name. So they just hype it out. So they'll be like, okay, right, that was great. Please write this name. Make some noise.

Blah, blah, blah. Ah. And they just come out. And the audience just goes crazy. That's a good cover. But you can't do that if you're at a party or something and someone comes up and you're like, good to see you again. Hey!

Oh, you can try.. Hey! You can try. You can try. I even get out of the habit of saying, nice to meet you because it only happened once. Someone's like, oh, we've met before. And I was just like,

well, shoot me in the face. You've got to say, good to see you. You've got to say, good to see you. Yeah. Lovely to see you. We simply must take some calls on this

because even now I feel embarrassed. I feel like I've done this so many times. Yeah. When did you forget someone's name and you should have remembered? Yeah. Maybe it was, maybe you've met like a thousand times before. Oh, I know. It's so awkward.

For some reason the name has just gone. Because I'm terrible with names. Faces. If I see a face, I'm like, I know that face from somewhere. I know them. You tell me your name and it doesn't even enter. Because you're the main character in your life, right? As long as they know my name, we're

good. What about when you meet someone and they say your name back to you like 12 times in the first minute of talking to them? Yeah, nice to meet you, Vaughn. And you can tell they're doing that thing without saying your name so they don't forget it. You can imagine once Oprah on some show was like, this is how you remember someone's name. You say it out loud 12 times.

I try to make a little rhyme, but then I forget the rhyme. Vaughn, Vaughn. Vaughn, Vaughn, where is he born? Vaughn, Vaughn. Born again. Christian. Christian. Chris. That's the mum's name. Christine. Saw. Sawn.

Sawn. Sawn off. Vaughn off. Vaughn mum's name. Yeah. Christine Saw. Sawn. Sawn. Sawn off. Vaughn off. Vaughn. His name. And then you see this guy again and you're like, I don't know what the rhyme was. Okay, let's take some calls. Have you done this?

0800 dials at him is our number. Call now and you can text 9696. When did you forget someone's name when you should have remembered it? Right. Now, though, talking about when you've forgotten somebody's name at an awkward, embarrassing moment, you should have known their name. Yeah, I did a gig last night. The emcee went to introduce the next comedian, couldn't remember the name.

Now, I realise I'm getting second-hand embarrassment. Why are we doing this? I just want a hole to open up and just eat me. I hate this. Cameron, this happened to you. You were emceeing a wedding. Yes, good morning, fellow humans. How are you?

Great, thank you. Barely functioning. I can agree, it's Friday. Whose wedding was this, Cameron? It was my brother's wedding and I was in charge of making some doof-doof sounds with my tunes. That's essentially what we do. In conjunction with that, I

had to MC. And I'm not an MC, but I'm a social butterfly to anyone, but I can't MC to save myself. So I got a list and I wrote down all the names and the order that they were supposed to come out and I was supposed to introduce them all to their songs and

yeah, shit hit the fan and I didn't go to plan and I named the wrong people. They didn't come out at all. There was a whole bunch of awkward silence because the music stopped and then... Oh no! I would just hide. I just want to hide.

I'd want the earth to open up and swallow me. Yeah, I know. To be honest though, it's got you out of emceeing any future events, so kind of a positive there. Should we get Cameron? No, he was literally terrible. Cameron, thank you so much. Fiona,

when did you forget somebody's name? It wasn't me, it was my sister. She was in Bunnings with her partner and bumped into our cousin who she hadn't seen for a long time. She actually remembered the cousin's name though but when she went to introduce her partner

she forgot his name. The old brain fart. The old complicit. An impressive brain fart wanted to be swallowed up in the ground. How long had they been going out for? A few years. A few years and A few years!

And you forget your partner's name. That's amazing. I'd get locked into, I reckon. Good luck getting out of that hurricane, Fiona. Yeah, go on. You're about to be blown away. Where are you? I'm driving to work.

Oh, okay. Oh, okay. So we are. Crazy. Yeah, yeah. Fiona, thank you. Some messages in. Somebody said,

I'm terrible at this. Never remember anybody's name. Give them a nickname the first time you meet them. Oh, right. And then you never have, and it's way easier to remember nicknames than it is actual names

because you base it on something about like the way they look. Yeah, the bearded dragon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, man. Oh, bearded dragon. Oh, bearded dragon. Yeah.

I mean, it's got to be a nice nickname. Flumberjack himself. Yeah. Yeah, oh, that bloody old Minga, bearded dragon. Yeah. I mean, it's got to be a nice nickname. Flumberjack himself. Yeah. Yeah, oh, I've got bloody old Minga. Minga the zinger. Excuse me? Excuse me? Well, I just can't remember names.

That's how I'm remembering you. Oh, yeah, that's how I remember it. Minga zinger. I look at something of you and I'm like, oh, yeah, she's a Minga zinger. Keep your texts, your calls coming in. We'll get to more of those next. This is so cringy. When did you forget someone's name?

Someone just admitted he, you forgot my name. Yeah, I was telling a story. It was at the start of this week when I was really tired. We were all like zapped from the live shows. And I was telling a story and then someone asked a question and the answer was Hayley. But I was like, um... I said, when I get a name, you're going to think I'm like real dumb for forgetting it. And I was like,

Hayley. It's Fletch Vaughan and... But I wouldn't have... My brain was not even thinking in the way of just thinking through. I just couldn't do it. Somebody messaged in, and this is a great point, and I do this. You never call anybody by their name. Chief, boss, buddy, champ. Always.

But it's so obvious. When someone calls me... G'day, captain. Mate. You're like, oh, you don't know my name. You don't know my name. Anything. You just let the boss... I might give someone an admiral this weekend'day, Captain. Mate. You're like, oh, you don't know my name. You don't know my name. Anything. You just let the Admiral.

I might give someone an Admiral this weekend. Oh, okay. Kill the Admiral. Yeah. Well, if Vaughn does that to you, he doesn't know who the hell you are. Absolutely no idea. Kayleigh, when did you forget somebody's name? So, I was on a third date with a guy.

We'd hung out like three times and we'd obviously done the date or whatever. And then we went back from the date and we got home, we did what we needed to do and then afterwards he was like, oh, Kayleigh, I've had such a good time. And I was like, me too, Chris. Oh, that's not even close.

Where did Chris come from? Why didn't you do it? Me too, chief. You know what we should do a phone around one day. How did you have to work out the name of the person you just slept with? Oh, my God. Yes. Oh, my God.

Fantastic. I've got one that's the best. I've got one. I've got one. It's not my proudest one. Oh, my God. Let's do that next week. I love that idea.

That's so good. How did you work out the name of the person you just slept with? Kayleigh, did you see him again? No. So I left like maybe 10 minutes afterwards and then he blocked me. He blocked you? Yeah, he blocked me. Ouch.

And I was like, it was just such a simple mistake. Do you know, dare I say it, Kayleigh, maybe your performance just wasn't that good because guys wouldn't block you for just forgetting their name. That's not... No, he must have been really hurt. I don't care. I got what I wanted.

High five, Chief. Love that, Kayleigh. Great work, boss. Yeah, thank you, Kayleigh. Some more Texan. First time my now husband met my parents, we were having dinner and he called me by the wrong name. He's not forgotten about it since.

No. I also can't hold names. I know names that I can't recall them. My kids are 19, 17, 14 and I still call them the wrong name every time. Oh yeah, that's... I think that's just a mum thing. My mum rattles through dad's name, my brother's name, my brother's name, the cat's name,

and then... Who are you? You, you, you, you. You go do this. Hunter's messaged in. He's 10. Just had my 10th birthday a couple of weeks ago. I had a party and the person who looked after me for five years came. Not only did I forget the name, but I didn't know who she was.

I was looking at her. I was like, who the hell are you? You're 10, dude. Your memory starts being sharp as a tack. Yeah. I knew that a very famous Hollywood director was in town. I knew that he was about to walk into my workplace. And do you think I could remember his name when he was standing right in front of me?

Who was it? James Cameron. Oh, James Cameron. I was going to say James Cameron. Hey. How many people yell out Titanic to James Cameron? Or Avatar? Not as many as yell it out to the people who starred in the movies, I reckon.

Yeah, probably. Or the boat. I reckon he's been yelling at a boat. Hey! Hey! Titanic! Hey! I don't know about that.

Disney Princess is like, no, hon. I've got a story ready to go. No, Han. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. I've got a story ready to go. You'd say I'm the saviour of the day. You are. Fletch forgot to do a scissor announcement before the song. Another mistake. I'm just trying to keep this show going.

I'm just trying to keep us going. You two are a couple of ships at sea. I'm a tugboat. I'm out there. We're about to crash into a bridge. Dude, I'm chucking a tugboat. I'm out there. We're about to crash into a bridge. Dude, I'm chucking a rope around. I'm tugging you back. What?

I want to say that soon, we're launching the Scissor Ticket Blitz. Now, we're giving you the chance today on ZM every single hour to win a double pass to see Scissor. The first three Scissor shows happening, the first is tomorrow, and then Monday and Tuesday at Auckland Spark Arena. double pass to see Scissor. The first, there's three Scissor shows happening. The first is tomorrow and then Monday and Tuesday at Auckland Spark Arena.

So a double pass up for grabs. The first chance is coming up before nine. So in the next 45 minutes, listen out for that activated, be the first caller through on 0800DARLS.M when you hear it. When I saw the Uber ad and I heard it say Michelle Williams,

I'm like, that's not Heath Ledger's ex. Somebody's just ex-ex-ex. Good from them. I mean, they're Williams. I'm like, that's not Heath Ledger's ex. Somebody just said that. Good from them. I mean, they're right. That's exactly the same name. Really good. Same name. So that Uber One ad, an ad I've been seeing a bit lately.

He says, getting the show back on track. Stunning, actually. Good segue. It felt forced. It felt forced. If you guys watch The Chase, we've established The Chase is probably New Zealand's most watched show. Well, the last five minutes of it anyway. Well, no.

No, you need to invest for The Final Chase. At least the last half hour. You don't need to. At least the last half hour. When I used to watch terrestrial free-to-air television, I would watch the news. I'd tune in at 5.00 too. Watch The Last Chase.

It's the best bit. No, you need to be invested in the final chase to really have a stake in the game by the way the tone of that terrestrial television when I used to watch it are you going to

next time you see someone on telly are you going to tell them you don't have a television yeah give me a break hey thanks for the thing we said the HYBPA

got cancelled because I got drunk and told the commissioner what I really thought about it all it's you it's because you stopped watching it

you were the one we needed one more watcher. It was me. And it was you. You can get stuffed. So, when I watch the chase, there's always the same ad on all the time. There has been that ceramic outdoor heater thing that says

it runs for like 25 cents for an hour and will heat your family. That's been, that seems to have been rested. They brought back the Kentucky fishing thing. The thing that you use a remote control to take it away. That's been, that seems to have been rested. They bought back the Kentucky fishing thing. The thing that you use a remote control to take it away. Oh my God, yeah.

The fish harvester or whatever. I don't even fish, but I want to use a torpedo and it takes you. Do you know how much they cost? Thousands and thousands of dollars. I know, but you get thousands of dollars of fish.

And free stuff and another one and a spare remote and some hooks. Buy one, get 20 free. You're like, how much are these worth? They just need you to buy one. Yeah. We just need you to buy one, get 20 free. You're like, how much are these worth? They just need you to buy one.

We just need you to buy one. That is on. By the way, that's very outdated because they're like, are you still paying supermarket prices for fish? And then it says snapper, $12.99 a kilogram. Oh, that'd be nice. No way in hell snappers cost $12.99 in any supermarket for the last 10 years.

That needs a big update. Yeah. Now the ad is, and I've seen it for the last few days, the Ninja Creamy. The Ninja Creamy? You can make your own ice cream. What's a Ninja?

Ninja as in like the Ninja Bullet. I think it's the same people that make the Ninja. They do an air fryer too. They do apparently do a really good air fryer.

The Ninja air fryer. I think they do a lot. Okay. And they, Ninja appliances. When they weren't a disgraced samurai They would defend the king's honour by attacking

Right Hostile people in the kingdom of Japan Did they do a pressure cooker? Did they do a pressure cooker too? Yep And a food sealer? We had an ice cream maker But it was this

Like one of those I got one of those Those are nice Do you? Yeah I got one But the problem is the minute there's liquid in that bag It sucks the liquid into the seal And then it won't burn it shut.

Oh. It's a flawed system there. Yeah, because you want a bit of juice in there when you freeze it so when you defrost it, it doesn't dry out. No, add the juice later. Add the juice later. We had an ice cream maker years ago, but the idea was you had to freeze the bananas

and then put the bananas and stuff through frozen. But this one, you freeze, you cut up the bananas and you freeze it in a container and then 24 hours later, you jam the container in the machine and it whirs it. Much easier to clean. And it makes ice cream. And I just constantly get this ad. So you want to buy one of these?

You're not going to use it, my dude. I know. I know that that's a problem. And it's bulky, I bet. Everything that's been advertised to me in the chase, I'm not going to use. I'm never going to use the fish harvester. I'm going to use it once. Yeah.

And it's going to be hard work. Yeah. And it's going to be hard work. Yeah. And it's probably going to get like. It's also embarrassing. It's a little bit embarrassing. It's embarrassing. Like be a man, get a rod. I can't throw a rod that far.

It doesn't matter. I was once at a wharf tossing, like surf casting off the wharf. Yeah. Even though I'm not in the surf, casting off the wharf. Yeah. And a kid said to me, oh no, you want to go a bit further out. And I looked at this kid and I said I would love to go further out son

but I can't I can't mow good at surf casting I was never taught you're embarrassing I'd never use the fish harvester I'd use it once and I'd be like

either that didn't work or what am I going to do with all these fish imagine if I came back and every hook had a fish on it I'd be like I've done a terrible thing

I've taken too many what am I going to do with all that I don't like filleting fish. I like it in the fresh hole and then cooking the whole fish and then picking. Yeah. I can't freeze these things. Put some Thai flavour on it.

Yeah. Yeah, stuff it full of sage. I mean, you could drop us off two fish max, but I'm not. I'm not filleting it though. You're not filleting it? And then I'm dropping on an unfilleted fish. That's rude. I know, it's so rude.

You're just dropping off a whole fish? Ah, no. So I'm never going to use that. And I'm not going to use this ice cream thing either. But I want to try it. You do want to try it. Yeah. Guys, they do grills, mini ovens.

They really do the lot. Or just buy a tub of ice cream like everybody else. That's the cheaper option, right? Yeah. Way cheaper. Yeah. And nicer. Way less space.

And you know it's going to be nicer. It's going to be way nicer than your crap frozen banana. Yeah, it's like freezer banana and some berries and then just... It's like ice. It'll be icy. That's not what I want. I want a sweet treat. Yeah, it won't be creamy.

If we come over to your house and you serve us icy bananas... It won't be creamy. Because I'll make it too early and then I'm going to have to put it back in the freezer. Yeah. Oh, that's not going to work, is it? Yeah. But at least I've got unfilleted fish for us to all eat. Oh, great.

And we'll be warm outside sitting under that ceramic heater. Everyone who comes to Vaughan's for dinner goes home with a full unfilleted fish. Ariana Grande. Got a good last week. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, Day, Day, Day. Today's Fact of the Day has been TV week here at Fact of the Day.

My man. The TV. Also a hell of a week for people in TV in New Zealand. Yeah. Really. Rough aim. Feeling it for some top-notch folks who've been given the sharp end of the pointy stick. Is that what you say? Pointy end of a stick.

They've been shafted. Shafted. By the pointy end of the stick. Oh, no. You don't want to be shafted by the pointy end of a stick. If you're going to get shafted, though, you want it to be pointy, not blunt. Shanked, I think you're talking about.

Oh, I'm confusing shafted with shanked. You do two horrible things that I don't want anybody to happen. Yeah, but a lot of good, like, we're going to miss this good news and current affairs. This is how we find things out. We'll have to do it. We have to step into the void. Yep, no more laughing out louder.

News out newer. That's the news saying. News out newer. Fletch, Gordon, Hayley, news out newer. That's the news saying. News out newer. Fletch, Gordon, Hayley, news out newer. Okay. Just news. That's interesting. Well, the fact today for TV Week is that 2019 was the year that

people spent more time watching their phones than they did watching their televisions. Wow. For the first time ever? For the first time ever, 2019 was the year. In 2014, I think this is out of the US, the average person spent four hours 20 a day watching television and two and a half hours on their phone.

In 2019, it went three hours 43 on your phone, three hours 35 on the television. So it's dropped. Television's dropped away. Phones come right up. And now there'd be a lot of people that don't even have a TV.

Yeah. It's just all on their laptops or iPads or phones. They can watch whatever they want whenever they want it.

So yeah, 2019 was that magical year where televisions fell to cell phones as the majority shareholder in our eyeballs. Or our eyeball-us. What year do you reckon it will be when they're like,

this is the first year that more people are watching stuff in their brains? Yeah, in their sunglasses. Or in their eyes, just because we've got a screen. A chip. Or like a contact lens TV screen. I honestly feel like it's not that far. Yeah. You'd have a headache. You'd have a headache.

You would have a headache. I'm not going to get on board with it. I'm not going to go chip to the brain because I just think I get a headache. You get very headachy,

don't you? No, I don't get a headache. I'm very un-headachy. Yeah, me too. When I get a headache, I'm just like, this is terrible. And then you hear

about migraines and they sound the worst. My mum gets them. Takes those big fatty time are horrible. My mum gets them. Takes those big fatty pills and stuff. They're awful. My mum gets them too. Do you think it's the margarine?

Could be the margarine. Years of... And the hormones in the chickens. Yeah. Years of artificial sweeteners. Oh yeah, they loved a bloody... Oh yeah, they love an artificial sweetener. Gotta keep it trim.

Couple of sack tabs. Even though that brand hasn't existed for decades, they still call them that. Pop them in the tea. Maybe there's something there. Hey, guys, just got a text in from Aaron. You guys are really funny today. Is that your fiancé?

Yeah, how bizarre that he's listening. What's he doing listening? I have no idea. This is a safe space for me. When did he start listening? This is a safe space for me, Aaron. You can't listen. Sometimes they talk about you.

Did he hear the lint ball stuff in Seven? I think that was probably some of the highlights of the show for me. Well, if he's just joined now, he needs to go back. You have to listen to the podcast, iHeartRadio. Smooth. And also, here we are on Fact of the Day. I will take this time to remind you, as I was asked to do earlier in the week, that

Fact of the Day, at the end of every week, there's a Fact of the Day podcast. Now, when they told me this in the office earlier this week, I went, of course. First time I'd heard about it. This is your segment. Of course. Brilliant, I said. Of course there is.

Brilliant work from you. For the future of the company. That's great. Gorgeous use of content. What a way to get all the facts in a condensed manner. Yeah. And it must be quite a trip if you are listening to the Fact of the Day podcast and hearing us reference the Fact of the Day podcast.

Yes, meta. This is meta, man. This is multi-layered meta. It's gorgeous stuff uh thank you very much for joining us for fact of the day tv week um and today's final fact is that 2019 was the year where our phones had more of our eyeball time than our televisions fact of the day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. How could this happen? In Australia, in Perth, there was a bus, as there are buses,

and at the end of the ride, you know, the driver will go up and down the bus, make sure there's nothing left on there for them to turn around and continue on their route. See how many people have smeared stuff on the seats. Shat themselves. That would be great. Smears are a horrible word.

You would see some stuff, I reckon. When you say smear and, like, public transport, I'm not imagining. It's great. Like, I take the bus a'm not imagining it's... It's not a mustard smear. You know when we go for breakfast sometimes I've got a mustard smear around the plate. That's a lovely smear. I love a smear.

The only thing is though, if you were to gather up the smear and put it into a thing, it's not enough mustard. It's not enough stuff. You and chefs do that like smart thing. But I don't go to, the kind of places I go to when I see a smear on the plate, I'm like just stop trying to be posh. Yeah, yeah.

Calm down. Calm down a little bit. How do they smear it on the plate? Back of the spoon smear. Get that, you go on the back of the spoon and you go Not a finger? Nah, back of the spoon. That's how it gets that round edge because it follows the roundness of the spoon. I thought the chef licked his finger

and went... That's what I thought he did back in the good old days. Oh yeah, when you could. Before all this before everybody went woke about other people's saliva you used to be able to... Before the woke brigade came in and said, oh chef stop sucking your fingers and smearing the plates.

Yeah, and I said go woke, go broke. I was wrong. Everybody all of a sudden adhering to food safety standards and hygiene. Sucking your fingers and smearing the plates. Yeah, and I said, go woke, go broke. I was wrong. You were right. And you were like... Everybody all of a sudden adhering to food safety standards and hygiene. Give me a break. So this is a mystery that police are working on, what the driver found on the back of a bus.

It is a small package. I'd call it like an eco-friendly takeaway container. It looks like a pad thai or someone's got a butter chicken in there or something. Yeah, but in one of those papery, biodegradable things. It's not pad thai in there, my love. It's bloody ashes. It is the ashes of someone. Like ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Like ashes to ashes.

Would you say it's up to the brim? Is it a brim full of ashes? It is a brim full of ashes. And what bus number was it on? Was it on bus number 45? I don't know how many people are getting this joke to be honest. Well, DJ! They'll get it now! Hit it! If you don't know this song,

you have not lived. Tell you what, everybody needs a bosom for a pillow. Everybody needs a bosom. Great song. Was it singing and dancing? Oh, this should have been Friday Flashback. It has been before in a pop. You bet.

Now I just want to listen to the song. Oh my gosh, get to the song already. Long intro. It's still coming. There's dancing. Yeah, there's dancing. Behind the movie scenes. Behind the movie scenes. Shall I fast forward to the... Ashurban Singh. No, no, they're dancing. Behind the movie scenes. Behind the movie scenes.

Shall I fast forward to the... Asher Bonds. No, no, you can't. She's the one that keeps the dream alive. From the morning past the evening to the end of the line. Friend full of Asher on the 45. Well, it's a friend full of Asher on the 45. Okay, so there's Asher's on the bus.

There's Asher's on the 45. Yeah. Now, it says on the container, bus. There's ashes on the 45. Yeah. Now, it says on the container, 24th of the 4th, 77. So that's the year this person was born. 29th of the 4th, 2024, the year he died. No, no, 23, sorry. Ranga is the name on it. Ranga with a R.

It's a dog. It's an orange dog. It's not a person. Oh, wait, what years did you say they were born? No, 77 to 23. Yeah. Okay, so that's a human. That's not that old, though.

It's only older than me. That could be their nickname, though, Ranga. 46 years old when they died. Last year. Was found on the bus this week. Ranga, written in pink marker. It could be Ranga, you know? We don't know. Yeah, they might have stopped.

Yeah. So the police were sharing it and saying to people like hey, this container of ashes was left on the bus on this date the 24th. If you're missing your Ranga, come and pick him up. The 24th of February 2024. Even to now, no one has

been able to piece it together. This is a human being's ashes in a takeaway pad thai container left on a bus. Horrendous. I want to know. Could be a parrot.

I'm looking up animals that live to their 40s. No, Vaughan, this is... It's big. It's a lot of ashes. No, I've picked up a cremated bird before. My marching coach's bird.

What kind of bird did your marching coach have? Oh, Jake. Oh, Jake. Was he a cockatoo? Yeah. She had two. But there wouldn't be that much left. It was like that.

It was like that. It was like a ring box, like a proposal ring box. Yeah, because bird bones are hollow. That's how they can fly. Yeah. You get rid of the feathers. We picked him up in a moment of sadness. She was like, I can't do box. Yeah, because bird bones are hollow. That's how they can fly. You get rid of the feathers. We picked him up in a moment of sadness. She was like, I can't deal, her husband had passed.

And she was like, I can't deal with that. Did she mix the ashes together? The bird and the husband? No. No, no, husband bearing. Did you make it so it's a two for one? If your husband dies and your birds die, can you just hide the bird and the husband's suit? Yeah, you can't. Get them in and be like, ha, gotcha,

and then just pull a bit off. Anyway, it was a very sad moment, but when we picked up the ashes, she was like, I just can't, you need to go pick up. Jake, we picked them up. We burst out laughing, because I was sitting in the car, and my friend came back and was like, look at this.

And it was, it was like a tiny little pillbox. We were like, oh my God. Hello, bones, the beak would be the majority of that pillbox. That is 100% a human. So we want to ask this morning what you have left behind. What important thing you left behind as well. Because people always, there's always this list from like airports and like the London Tube do it every now and again.

Like here are the crates. And Uber do it all the time. Every year they do their what people have left behind. And there's always the most bizarre things like prosthetic legs. Yes, yeah. Who gets off a train? Or like giant instruments, like a cellist. And they just leave their whole cello somewhere and you're like,

how did you not see that? Yeah. And they're immediately like, what am I missing? Yeah. In the concert, like just stringing air, like something's missing there. The low notes aren't ringing through this quartet. What's happening? So 0800 dial ZM.

We want to take your calls now. You can text through 9696. What is the most important thing that you've left behind? Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. Right now, though, we're talking about the important things that you've left behind, whether it's at home or on public transport, because the Perth police are on the hunt for whoever left behind someone's ashes.

Priya, what did you leave behind? I left behind my $5,000 wedding ring, and we were on our way to the airport to catch a flight back to New Zealand. Oh, no. Oh, you dum-dum. Did you go back? Yeah. Luckily, I'm one of these overly organised and prepared people, so we were leaving like five hours early.

Good, that's why. That's why, yeah. And was it where you left it? So we caught two trains and were going to catch the third one on our way to the airport when I realised I actually didn't have it. So my husband then left me at the train station, went back to catch the two trains and I made the phone calls to the hotel.

I want to say it, Priya, you should have actually had to have gone back. Yeah. Was it in the safe? Did you put it in like this? Did you put it in the safe or something? In the hotel? No, just the bathroom sink and the bathroom.

Oh my god, I feel sick. You were lucky the cleaner didn't come in hot on your tail of leaving. Yeah, because if I was cleaning a hotel room, I would take everything and be like, I didn't see it. Neither. Yeah, I was pretty worried, so. Yeah. Amazing. Priya, thank you for

sharing some messages in of those expensive things you've left behind. Or important things. My wife left our daughter behind. Lots of people being left behind. Yeah, right. People themselves. Yeah, babies.

So probably when you have like eight kids, it'd be very easy to leave one behind. Okay, but what about three kids? Back at primary school, I left the school multiple times, even though my brother and sister got picked up. But as soon as they were in the car, my parents drove off. You are not the favourite. You're a forgetful child.

Yeah, you are. Forgettable child. Forgettable, yeah. You've got to be more like Vaughn if you're a middle child. Just attention seeing. Vaughn's a ruckus. Make a scene. It's Joe in the beginning.

Love that song. I've been thrashing that song. God, we just thrashed around a bit having a big dance like we're at the bloody concert. It's Steve from Stranger Things. Yeah. What? I do not know that.

It's Joe Carey from Stranger Things. The guy that works in the ice cream shop. Yeah. Well, that song's been on heavy rotate at our house from the day it came out because all of us are such a massive Stranger Things fan. I love this. Great stuff.

Now, we're talking about the important things you left behind because there were some ashes left on a bus in Perth. God, you were dancing, weren't you? I'm so unfit at the moment. There were some ashes left on a bus in Perth and the police cannot find who left them behind.

Poor Ranga. That's the name on the pad tie box. On the pad tie box. All Ranga's in. I also love there's lots of, as many stories as there are coming in of things you're going to find, people speculating as to what Ranga was. Horse seems to be very popular. But a horse would have a lot of ashes. It wouldn't fit in a tie takeaway box.

But then also in Perth. Yeah. You know, like that's. Horse people. Are there many horse people on farms around? You'd have to get the right out of it. If they weren't on a train, they'd come in in a huge Toyota Land Cruiser.

Yeah, it was in a bus. We've got to keep updated with this story. Jared just Googled how much horses ashes. A 1,200 pound horse would result in 1,200 cubic inches of ashes. That's more than a pad thai. I love pad thai that big. Unless it was a miniature pony. What's rang a miniature horse?

It could be a miniature pony. Or a donkey. Do you think they've done forensics on it? A dog? Could it be a big dog? They wouldn't have lived that long. Dogs don't live 46 years old. A tortoise?

Have the police gone through like the, it's got the date of death on there. Have they gone through like the birth, deaths and marriages? Something tells me that ring is not on the birth certificate. Yeah. Okay. We'll keep you updated with this story.

Mypetsashley.co.uk slash advice slash what size urn is the urn calculator that Jared used to deduct that a horse would enter 1,200 cubic inch. Go elephant. Carl was lugging it through the studio walls. You would have to be thumbing an elephant into the crematorium box. You wouldn't get it in. You'd have to put it in half at a time.

Who's cutting the elephant in half? I think we're just digging a hole. You'd have to chainsaw him. You'd have to chainsaw. No one wants to have to do that. When Cash and the elephant died at Auckland Zoo, they dug a massive hole and just dragged it and plopped it in. Did they?

Yep. So I think you're being a little silly about cremating an elephant. Wow. Actually, you're taking this very silly. Wow, okay. As someone who's had some pet losses lately, I'm actually insulted. Yeah. You should have given me a trigger warning that you were about to make fun of death.

Of pet cremation. Of pet cremation. Okay. I apologise. You've got every dog you could imagine. What's a shaperky? A shaperky? A shaperky is what you get from the kebab shop.

You have a little shaperky on there. You get meat. Yeah. You get chicken, get your lamb. I think that's a shish kebab. Bit of spaterky. Bit of spaturky. Bit of spaturky. Do you know the other day

I saw the truck pulling up to the kebab shop with those rolls they put on the rotating things? Oh, the raw dog thing. What? Jesus Christ. Those things are bloody

like logs, meat logs. Yeah, dude. Meat logs. And they were wrapped in like a like a a cling film.

Yeah, glad wrap. I was just like, oh, I wish I hadn a cling film. Yeah, glad wrap. I was just like, oh, I wish I hadn't seen that. Yeah, I don't want to see the process. When you're drunk and you just eat them, it's yum. Oh, and I just love it all the time. A little bit dry. If you get in the lamp, you've got to go chicken because the lamp, I tell you what, is dust. The lamp goes dry.

Okay, well, we've run out of time. Have we? I don't want to hear any more. Give us a couple. Left my engagement ring and wedding ring in a hotel in America, $10,000 worth. Left my phone at the Calvin Harris concert. Left my handbag in a taxi and my passport at the post office. Big night for you there.

I mean, the fact that you went in a taxi from the Calvin Harris concert and somehow ended up at the post office tells me that you had a bit of a blowout at that one. Were there other post shops open after a concert? Yeah, the good ones. Okay. The good ones. It's when you need to pop some things in the post. Send your trade me parcels.

I left my husband and brand new daughter's new passports. The daughter wasn't brand new. The passport for the daughter was brand new. And my laptop bag. What was that tip the flight attendant has? If you use the hotel safe, you put one of your shoes, the shoes you're going to wear the next day, like for your flight.

Great idea. You leave one of those shoes in the hotel safe or wherever you have your passports and stuff. Or you put it in the shoe and then when you put your foot in, you're like, what's that? Oh, my God. It's my passport. Which I've just ruined and now they won't accept it

and I won't get into the country. I broke the plastic thing on the chip. My big hooves, absolutely torn apart. My call I won't get into the country. I broke the plastic thing on the chip. My big hooves absolutely tore apart. My calloused hooves have shredded the passport. I counted 79 all rights today. Fletcher, but that's a new personal record. Oh, f*** off. How many of those did you count?

79 of those too. All right. Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us a rate and review. Oh, f*** off. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
