The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletchbourne and Hayley Big Pod. Enjoy a refreshing McCafe iced coffee available only from Macca's. Great things are brewing. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletchbourne and Hayley. I don't want to alarm anyone, but there's something been pumped from our air conditioning. What the hell? The last time this happened, well it's happened twice.

The studio caught on fire in Tauranga. That was one time. It smelt like this, but also the other time was when they were testing the generator and the wind blew into the air con. Because the generators don't get started too often, so when they do,

they're a smoky old diesel and it just pumps it straight into the AC unit. Oh, God, yeah, we might have to evacuate. We may have to evacuate the studio. That's intense. Oh, my gosh. What it smells like We may have to evacuate the studio. That's intense. What it smells like is we used to have this little train set.

When I was a child, we had a train set. And you used to put sewing machine oil in it and it would puff smoke. And that's what it smells like. Except that was fun and this is not. Do you know what we should do? We should put the phone lines live and we'll go outside and we'll call the station. And then we'll just do the show like that. You wouldn't even see the audio quality. we'll just do the show like that. Oh, I don't know.

You won't even see the audio quality. We'll just have to leave the music playing. Are people here for the music? That's real bad. That's real bad. We may have to evacuate the studio. This month. Yes, goodness me.

Goodness me. It's five point, yeah. Is Tony Street abandoning her post? I will not leave till she has. I will not abandon my post before I see. We will be the last to leave the ship. I am Captain Smith of the Titanic. I will not leave until the woman and children are on boats. We may be back soon.

I will play this cello. We may not. Until we go down. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, apparently the generator that was being tested right by the air con unit, which is great building design. It's very hot in here.

It's very hot in here, Carwood. Help us. We've been outside enjoying delicious, fresh Central. I mean, if the air outside in Central Auckland is fresh and delicious, that tells you exactly the state of the current air in the studio. Yes. Well, it's fuming, isn't it? It's still a little bit Fumi, but ooh.

I have very, very happy birthday to Brooke. And we all hope she has a fantastic day. Has someone messaged in? Someone just texted me. Oh, shut up. Okay, that's lovely. Happy birthday, Brooke. Happy birthday, Brooke.

Many happy returns and many more. Many, many more. Are you all right? Are you rubbing your eyes a little bit high on the fumes? No, I just rubbed something into my eyeball, but I'm back and I'm ready and it's very hot in the studio. Sid, was the Black Eyed Peas an emergency song? Oh, it must be. We've been out of the studio.

Yeah, it might be an emergency song. Running around outside like silly children at Christmas time. I hope it was my hums. Which song did we play? I hope it wasn't. I hope it was my hums. Let's get it started, the original. We better not have played that.

Like nobody's back. Yeah, right. Next on the show, there are some official stats out about how many vegans and vegetarians, et cetera, are in New Zealand. Yeah. What's the et cetera? Pescatarians?

Vegans, pescatarians, vegematarians. Meat eaters. Right. Drunkatarians only eat meat when they're half cut. Yeah, well, they could be a dying breed. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, oh, she's on the phone. Our resident vegetarian.

She's dealing with the plastic fumes. Yeah. But, Karwin, at Christmas time, is everyone a bit like, Yeah, definitely. And they give you some veggie patties, you know, at Christmastime, is everyone a little bit like, Yeah, definitely. And they give you some veggie patties, you know, fresh from the freezer? I try to be as minimal effort as possible. You know what I mean? Like, I bring my own stuff or I offer solutions.

There's actually a very good vegetarian roast on the market. What a wonderful microphone in that, producers. Both picked up that piston of the door shutting. I really tried to talk over it. Yeah, you did. You did great. I'm sorry to have in that, producers. Both picked up that piston of the door shutting. I really tried to talk over it. Yeah, you did. You did great. I'm sorry to have drawn attention to it. I just was really surprised at how.

So you bring your own stuff to not be a pain in the butt. Yeah, there are some good vegetarian, vegan options, though. But it is a hassle. Yeah. Pastels. Pastel sausages. Yeah, because at the Christmas party on the weekend, we had some veggie patties.

Yeah, they were good. These stats surprise me. So this is Health New Zealand. On the weekend, we had some veggie patties. Yeah. Dry. These stats surprise me. So this is Health New Zealand. Yeah, Health New Zealand have worked out basically like who's eating meat and who's vegetarian and vegan in New Zealand. How did they do that? They asked everyone. Everyone?

Well, I wasn't asked. Was it a census? Because we did have a census this year. I don't remember ticking sausages on that. Yeah. Well, apparently. You can't remember every sausage you've ticked. Apparently. It's a census this year. I don't remember ticking sausages on that. Yeah. Well, apparently You can't remember every sausage you've ticked. Apparently

there are very Swiss, Jamaican, all sorts. There are very few true vegetarians left in New Zealand. Because now people are doing a bit of pescatarian like I eat fish because it's more of a sustainable practice

than farming. Is it though? That's what we like to tell ourselves. 93% of New Zealanders are eating red meat still. 2.89%, so just under 3%. Just to round that up for our simpler listeners. Do not eat red meat, but do eat seafood and chicken. See, I'm more of a seafood and chicken.

1.4% of pescatarians, no red meat or poultry, do eat fish. Yeah. 2.04% are true vegetarians, no meat or seafood. Two. Does that surprise you, Karwin? That it's that, that's low. Listen to that. 0.74% are true vegans know meat or animal products.

Yeah, it is a little surprising, although it is very expensive to be vegan. So I can see why there are more vegetarians than vegan. You still feel good about yourself, but you can have cheese. Because vegetables are so expensive. Yeah. And like dairy-free anything, which is what you need if you're vegan. Your alternatives.

Expensive. Yeah. If it makes you feel any better about eating dairy products, I've milked many cows in my time, and the sweet relief in their eyes when their packed, tight milk udder gets milked. Yes. When you put those cups on and they're like,

you ask a mother who's breastfeeding, that sweet release of a fully packed breast. So they're apparently... They love it. Yeah. Apparently the definitions in this survey compared to the last time they did it, where about 10% of Kiwis said that they were vegetarian. Yeah.

They've changed the definition to be like strict vegetarian. Like no sneaky burgers. Yeah. So a lot of people were like, I'm vegetarian, but I had a couple of saucies on Christmas Day. Oh, I'll have a bacon. If there's bacon around, I might have a little munch on that or eat a bit of fish or have a bit of nuggy. I just can't believe that.

There's like just no one. Yeah, it's low. I mean, it's delicious. Yeah, yum. Bacon's so yum. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Oh, dear. So apparently there's a huge rise in the use of nudifying apps. Nudifying.

You can upload a photo of someone and nudify them, and then AI kind of shows you them naked. Back in my day day you had to find a body, a naked body facing the same way as somebody's photo was facing and then you had to use that magnet lasso tool to Or you had to

draw the penis in Microsoft Paint. It was very hard, all the boobies. And it was never really like, you know, photo quality. There was always a bit of weird texturing between. So I was like, interesting. I'd love to see what this looks like. Maybe I'll upload a photo of myself and get them to nudify it.

Because obviously they can't actually see your bits and pieces. Well, they don't know your areoles, do they? They don't know the size of your discs. But AI guesses. But they guess. And I was like, I wonder if they'll give you a fantastic set of boobs or like. Oh, yeah. Not as good as your own boobs.

Yeah. But then, so some of these, well, a lot of them, to get a notified thing, you've got to pay. Some apps are charging $10 a month. And the amount of people that are using these apps is what is mind-blowing. Like 24 million people in September alone. I'm big ones part of. Have visited undressing websites. That's the population of Australia, is it not, my friends?

So apparently a lot of them are advertising. Yeah, it is. It's the population of Australia, 25 million. Yeah. Oh my God. So that is like every single person in Australia. Going to this is. It's the population of Australia, 25 million. Yeah. Oh my God. So that is like every single person in Australia going to this website. And uploading photos. And I'm

assuming it's mostly women. Like almost majority. Yeah. We don't want to see your bloody balls. What if we were um... What if you went and uploaded a photo of yourself hoping, in the hopes that it might do you a service. You don't want AI to then uploaded a photo of yourself in the hopes that it might do you a service?

You don't want AI to then have a photo of you, do you? Maybe. I don't think people are thinking that far ahead. Yeah. Wow. But it depends. If there's a photo of me and I upload it and they give me a fantastic little... I'm not mad if it's circulating.

You're not mad. Yeah, I'll be like oh no Probably upload it to Instagram and be like Guys oh my god Can't believe this I've had a leak Tag at Jason Momoa I mean it's terrible It's like

Is it a leak when you leak it yourself? It feels like guerrilla marketing It is more guerrilla marketing It's so weird. Where's the line, eh, of like... Because consent's the big issue, right? Is going, you can upload a photo of Vaughan and we could nudify it and then we could leak it

and it is technically a nude photo of Vaughan even though it's not as willy. But this is the world... What am I doing? I'm not out there. I'm not using it as bait. I'm not fishing with it. Right, but what if it's a good willy? Is that what you're saying? Because I doing for you? I'm not out there. I'm not using it as bait. I'm not fishing with it. Right, but what if it's a good willy?

Is that what you're saying? Because I've landed a marlin. That's what I'm saying. I'll be happy for people to be like, is that what he looks like nude? And I can be like, oh, shucks, no. Like a Ryan Phillippe situation. Or a Colin Farrell in your life.

If your actual nerds leaked, I'd be mortified if my actual nerds leaked. But if AI did me a service, I'd be like, you know, crack up. But this is what we're going to have to live with in the next few years. All the deep fake stuff. It's only going to get worse. You'll be able to deep nerd fake anybody.

And you'll be able to do it in video, so you could make pornography, basically, with anyone's face and be like, this is Sproul and sprawling flesh at it on the couch. Okay, so I'm on one called soulgen.net and you upload a photo of, say, Hayley

or any of us and then you say give her purple hair and it'll make your hair purple and it's like, take her top off. And it'll take her top off. And it's like, give her bigger boobs. You can like instruct it. So you could totally manufacture your own mood. You could curate a body, couldn't you? Yeah, go bigger.

I'm conflicted. I'm torn. I'm torn. Morally, it's abhorrent. Yeah, morally, yeah. Personally, I'm a little bit like. A little torn. I don't know.

Miserably? Yeah. It's very sad. But I've been so tired recently that you only get a few pages and I can go back and read the same page again and again. Anyway, we were talking about reading this morning and producer Jared got excited to tell us about tandem reading. Yeah, pretty cool.

How does it work? So the one I'm about to do is two specific books. The Empire of Storm and Tower of Dawn by Sarah J Maas. Okay. Quick premise. What world are we in? What are we following? Obviously, it's a fantasy thing.

She's an assassin. Okay, Fletch, Ford and Hayley, play the next song. We'll just go next song. No, I'm with you. I'll stick with you. So it's an eight-book series, and this is specifically the fifth and sixth books. Now, instead of reading the fifth book and then the sixth book,

which is the norm, this one, you read the first five chapters of book six, and then you read the first five chapters of book five. Spoiler alerts! Nah, because it's different characters, man.

So she's written them to be read like this, or someone's just like, hey, I've just worked out you can read them like this? Someone's worked out you can because it overlaps and timelines and all that kind of stuff. It's kind of like if you're watching Star Wars Clone Wars, you don't have to watch it in order. Right.

A bit like watching a Quentin Tarantino movie. It's all over the place. All over the place. Yeah. Where are we? Who are we? Whose story is this? Who's driving it?

Someone's called this tandem reading. Tandem reading. Where you kind of like bounce between books. Yeah, do chapter to chapter. I get lost. I get lost. Yeah, I get lost. How am I dog-earing the pages?

How am I going to know which book to pick up? It's funny because the girls on TikTok hold up the two books and there are just post-its. I know. The TikTok girlies posted everything, eh? Yeah. Oh, this is to like symbolise which chapter to swap between. Oh, my God. What about the planet?

Yeah. What about the planet? So you're going to do this? I'm going to do this with Harry McCleary because I reckon I could jump from Scarface Claw. But what about Tom and Tam? To finding out what's happening to Snitza Von Crumb with the very low tone. Yeah. But what if you get to the dairy?

Too soon. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. He gets to the dairy. No, no, no, no, no. He's from the dairy. Nobody goes to the dairy. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Are you sure? Here in the query of Donaldson's dairy. From Donaldson's dairy. Nobody goes back to Donaldson's dairy. Eventually, because of Scarface Claw, the toughest Tom in town. But he picks up a whole lot of adventures on the way.

And that's just one book. There was a bully at primary school who called me Scarface Claw the toughest time in town because I've got a scar on my face. I'll tell you what reflecting on that, that's a cool nickname. That is a real cool nickname. The toughest time in town. The time I cried and my brother punched him in the face. Where's that bully now? Your brother's got a real thing for

whacking faces doesn't he? Whacked yours, gave you the scar and then whacked the kid who pointed out the fact punched him in the face. Where's that bully now? Your brother's got a real thing for whacking faces, doesn't he? Whacked yours, gave you the scar, and then whacked the kid who pointed out the fact and whacked your face. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little pole. Silly little pole.

It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole Silly little pole, silly little pole Silly little pole Is couscous the worst carbohydrate? Your options were yes or no. This started yesterday because I said I prefer a couscous stuffing and a chicken.

Look, and I agree. When it comes to stuffing, if you're getting a store-bought handbag chicken, Look, and I agree. When it comes to stuffing, if you get in the store and order a handbag chicken, I'm going couscous. There is not a single American from the southern states that would go for

a couscous stuffing. And you know that to be true. You know that to be true. I think, was this inspired, Producer Jared? You had, I saw on the group chat,

you had couscous for dinner. I did. I had a little bit of couscous. You had the couscous? Where did you have it? Was it adjacent to? It was underneath a roast vegetable salad. Delicious.

Oh, yum. Was it good? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Where's your protein there, big dog? Oh, there was chicken. I had some chicken there. Okay.

Was it gravy? No, there was a lot of feta. Yeah, feta. Okay. It sounds like you were running a dry couscous to me. You don't want a dry couscous. Sometimes you want a bit of... A bit of olive oil and lemon and stuff.

Yeah, yeah. You've got to have some liquid. You've got to get it wet. You've got to get it up. I'm quite sensitive to whether something's dry. Yeah. There's a sensitive way that sounds like fluffy dry couscous. 40% of people said yes.

What? It is the worst carbohydrate. What about lentils? There's so many. Lentils don't even count. Lentils aren't even a thing. What do you mean? Lent It is the worst carbohydrate. What about lentils? There's so many. Lentils don't even count. Lentils aren't even a thing. What do you mean?

Lentils aren't a carbohydrate. They're a bean. They're a legume. Yeah. Yeah. They're not a sweet, delicious carbohydrate. Okay. 60% said no way.

That's pretty good. Yeah. I'm pretty stoked with 40% of people being on board. Wow. Sam says, it's just silly. I don't know why, but it really annoys me. It's like it's trying to be everything to everyone and it ends up being nothing. Irrational hatred of couscous.

Are you rice? Are you rice? Do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's what you want to be, right? You want to be rice. What about Israeli couscous? Is it better than rice? I'm not getting involved.

I just mean the bigger pearls. Is it bigger? Yeah. Oh, okay. Nah, I prefer the smaller involved. I just mean the bigger pearls. No, is it bigger? Yeah. Oh, okay. Nah, I prefer the smaller ones. Anything, coos, coos. Jessie has made what I can only say is the most foolish statement I've ever heard. She said white bread is the worst carbohydrate.

White bread is delicious. Like a cheap loaf of white bread. Toasties. Oh, okay, yeah. Yeah,asted sandwiches Tomato sandwich In summer Sausage

A sausage Only goes in a nice Floppable white bread Chip sandwich Yeah dude White bread rules We can all agree It's not

Fairy bread It's not Yes Fairy bread What you put in that on a whole grain Get out of town Get out of town Get out of here

Get out of here Jessie Free to go and listen to another radio show Expelled Get out of town. Get out of here. Get out of here. Jessie. Free to go and listen to another radio show. Expelled. No, Jessie, please stay. Just giving away our listeners willy-nilly. You can't do that. Bam.

No, don't go. Tegan, my four-year-old is obsessed with couscous and bloody loves it. We eat it at least once a week. She's like, ma'am, come have some couscous. I'd eat it twice a year. Yeah. I was on team couscous, but least once a week. She's like, ma'am, come out and keep it. I'd eat it twice a year. Yeah. I was on team couscous, but only twice a year. I don't even know when I last had couscous.

Jess said couscous with a little bit of oil to keep it unclumped. See, this is the thing. It clumps. It does clump. Oil and lemon. If rice clumps, it's sticky rice and it rules. Yeah. Keep it unclumped and then some chicken stock sprinkled in it

with some Moroccan lamb on top. Oh, manana. Yes. She's doing something there. Good stuff. She's got to work so hard to keep it unclumped and then tasty. Chicken stock. KT says, yes, but we nicknamed our twins couscous

because they were born and still use it now. They're five months old. Cute nickname. So I guess I shouldn't hate couscous as a carbohydrate given that my children are called couscous. Cous and cous. Cous and cous get here now. What a sloppy excuse for a carb when it's properly flavoured though.

Yes! KT. Yes! Even when flavoured it's not even as good as an unflavoured spot. No. Israeli couscous is the only one worth your time. Get those little other dusty crumbs away from me. Bigger pearls. Bigger pearls.

Beth says, gluten-free couscous. Okay, even I'm off. Beth. Never say that sentence again. Beth expelled. Beth expelled. Feel free to go listen to another. You can't just go and expel all of our listeners.

I'm just telling you. You won't get the job. I've expelled Beth listeners. I'm just telling everyone about our listeners. I've expelled Beth. Feel free to leave. I've expelled Jessie. Who's next? I feel like a timeout would be better. They can come back after they've learned.

Yes. Joel says, no, it's the food's so nice they named it twice. If people say it's not good, it's only because they don't... Not expelled. Joel, you're out. You're out. And I liked you. I've talked to you't... Not spelled. Joel, you're out. You're out. And I liked you. I've talked to you before.

I liked you, but you're out. Our numbers are dropping fast. Liv says, Coos coos over buckwheat any day. Liv, buckwheat was never in the running. Buckwheat is not welcome here. We're talking about delicious carbohydrates. So we said,

what is worse? Yeah. I'll quickly run through this because I see you tapping your watch over there. Lana says, buckwheat. Wouldn't have even counted it.

Noodles, says Pippa. What's the point? Excuse me. I'm not a huge noodle fan, but noodles outrank couscous every time. Pantai. That's noodles.

Pantai. Rice noodles. Eater's coming for my yummy yams. She said, yams are worse than couscous. Roasted yams. Yams, slap. Yeah. yams are worse than couscous. Roasted yams. Yams, slap. Yeah.

Yams are the best. Oh, my God. Imagine some roasted lambs on some couscous. Imagine lamb on yam. I eat a yammy lammy. Ham, lamb, and yam. Morgan said lentils. Wasn't even considering the Morgan.

Claudia said gnocchi is pretty doughy and gross. Shut up. It's pasta made of potatoes. No, I hate gnocchi. I'm with her. That's yuck. My father will be very upset to hear that. Gnocchi is pretty doughy and gross. Shut up. It's pasta made of potatoes. I hate gnocchi. I'm with her. That's yuck. My father will be very upset to hear that. Gnocchi's his favourite. He always orders it. Is it because it's covered in sauce?

It's got to be. It's potato pasta. It's his two favourite things. He's a carb boy. Sophia says yams. They're grosser. Why are people coming for my yams? Palenta. I would not have even considered palenta in the running for a carbohydrate. You know, sometimes you get polenta chip. Shut up.

Yeah. Don't. Expelled. I know. No, you can't expel me. I work here. You're expelled and you can take Stacey. Oh, no.

Stacey said polenta's worth. I'm with Stacey. You can take Jessie with you. Wholemeal pasta. Still better than couscous. But yuck. I'm not eating yuck wholemeal pasta. All right, everybody.

If anybody's left listening. Well, it's a stressful time to be working in retail because it's Christmas. Everybody is stressed. Yeah. And we want to know now, this morning, we want to open up the phone lines. How do you relieve stress when you're feeling stressed?

Okay. Not a healthy crutch. What? Oh, wow. Pot kettle black. Oh, no, I know it, though. Don't get me wrong, girl. Hayley, you should go for a walk and eat a banana.

So we want to know this morning If you work in retail If you've ever had a moment Where you just lost it at a customer Well I wonder if It could go beyond retail if I may Because you've got to think hospo as well This time of year

You've got your Christmas parties Your functions Everyone's getting on the turps Anything Obnoxious people Anything where you deal with customers Has there been a moment Where you've flipped out and just lost it on the turps. Noxious people. Anything where you deal with customers. Has there been a moment where you've flipped out and just lost it?

Because I just read this article this morning about a guy working in an airport, and I believe in Cyprus. Right. And a family checked in with their kid, and they checked in a little bit late. You know, we're so, so rushing. Kids, kids, we've got kids. It's no excuse. You know the baggage drop off is 30 minutes before the flight. Also, no one told you you had those kids. There's options.

Anyway, and so they turn up and then when they get their bag off the other end, this person had written all over the baby's bag. The check-in guy. The check-in guy had written C-word. Yeah.

I just find that word very funny. And vivid. This is in vivid. C-word, stop checking in late. Oh, my Lord. The baggage in question was the back of the kid, a seven-month-old son. Yeah, but he won't be able to read.

Kind of technically telling a story. And the parents may have had, like, dark luggage, so you he won't be able to read kind of technically telling you. And the parents may have had like dark luggage so you wouldn't have been able to see in the vivid. You know what I mean? Like the kids probably had a pink Dora suitcase so it would have come up perfectly. No it's just blue. Yeah he's definitely written C followed by a

vowel and two more consonants and then stop checking in late. So he's just flipped and the whole thing, the employer, you know, they were like, oh look, we're sorry, it's just a really stressful time of the year. And I can imagine that. And stop checking in late. But there's always the people of like

gift wrapping and then they take the price off and do this and gift wrap that and do that for free and could you wrap this while you're at it and stuff. But I don't think I ever lost it at a customer. I just didn't care enough. Did you ever lose it when you worked at the servo?

That would have been your only customer facing job you've ever had. Because I've never really... I've no. What you're discovering here is we're all really well rounded. No, if I worked in a retail I'd give it a week and I'd flip out at someone. Because people are just the worst.

Sometimes I just see other customers misbehaving and I almost want to chuck them out of the store that I've got absolutely no connection to. People are the worst. Especially this time of year. I understand everybody's stressed but no need to take it out on anybody else. Well, we want to open up the phone lines. 0800 DALS at M. Give us a call now.

Text through 9696. Have you flipped out at a customer during a moment of weakness? How bad was it? No judgment from us. Yeah, not at all. It's the time of year, man. Everyone's stressed. Everyone's out and about, either socialising or shopping or whatnot.

And people are losing control of customers, basically. They're flipping out. The guy in an airline wrote the C-bomb on someone's suitcase. We want to know if you've flipped out at a customer when you've lost it, lost your kill. Yeah, Cameron, you had lost it with a customer. Yes, so good morning, guys. How are we all today?

Yeah, not too bad. Actually really good. Vaughan's been firing X-shooters at us, like Nerf guns. Grow up, am I right? Yeah, I've told him off a few times, Cameron.

Also, if we're doing a whole recap of the morning, Cameron, I nearly saw a motorbike get knocked over by a car on the motorway. The car just changed lanes without checking for a motorway.

Always kick, yeah. That was like, it was one of those moments where your gut kind of feels cold and empty because you think you're about to watch somebody die and the motorcyclist wasn't happy about that. I got the car's number plate if the motorcyclist needs it. And then we got to work and then at just about six, the woman almost killed a man on the motorbike. Oh, you, true. It was wild. No, I'm not. Then when we got to work, the diesel generator kicked on,

and its exhaust pipe apparently, even though it's happened twice now, is right next to the air intake for our air conditioning, so we were gassed out of the studio for a while. That was rough. That gave me a headache, but then I played with my friends outside, so that made it all better. I'm pretty sure Cameron's regretting asking now. Yeah, no, no, of course, carry on. I'm absolutely smashing some Christmas mince pies

because I've absolutely given up on this year and any regime that represents or even looks anything like being healthy. I just don't care. It's self-destructive. It's self-destruct December. Yeah, yesterday I almost had a mental breakdown. Oh, we haven't gotten into that yet.

That's an off-air chat. That's off-air chat. That's nothing anybody else needs to concern themselves about. I've got a bra clip that's got four hooks, and usually I'd like a three, and one of them's stabbing me in the back right now. Is it? Constantly.

I'm more than happy to help you in a non-sexual manner. Again, Cameron did not need to know this. Also, one of the females in the office can help Hayley with that, not you. Shannon asked Fletch how he chooses where he goes for his overseas holidays, and he lied because it's definitely like he goes where he thinks hot people are and he hasn't been there. What?

Absolutely, it is. This is absolute defamation. Jared got the coffee order wrong for Fletch, and then Fletch was like, I actually really like this. Yeah, no, it's not bad. Okay, thank you. All right, Cameron,

how did you lose it at a customer? So I worked at a vehicle dispatch office that sent cars to people. And over during lockdown, the first lockdown, we had no cars because it was essential travel only, of course. Right, of course, that's right. And I was the one, I put my hand up for night shift because I knew there was no call. So I could just play games all right. And I was the one, I put my hand up for night shift because I knew there was no call

so I could just play games all night and I had a ball all the time. Love this. Had the drinks in the fridge while I was

in the office. Oh my God. Okay. He's an only boy. So there was this one customer that had nobody like no matter what

and I always got a hold of her and she, I'm bloody turning the hour. But she called basically every day during lockdown during the middle of the night when i couldn't do anything yeah i think she's bored or lonely so after a while i got so sick of her calling her put her on hold um the

longest i had on hold was three and a half hours you You're a prick. You're a prick, Ken. Oh, my God. I love it. I love it. Oh, my God. Nothing drives a woman wild like being on hold for a long time. Cameron, thank you. Very passive-aggressive there.

Oh, my God. Thanks, Cameron. He's playing games and having a drinky-poo. Ben, you, did you lose it at a customer? Good morning, guys. First time call, a long time listener. There we go. We don't need to recap.

No, we don't need to go over all that again. Thank you, Ben. If you caught it earlier on the show, this is also the expel bell now. So we can expel listeners from being allowed to listen to the show. With one hard hit of the bell. But this is also, you're welcomed. I'll mind my language. Anyway, I used to one hard hit of the bell, but this is also, you're welcomed. Oh, mind my language. Okay.

Anyway, I used to work at a supermarket that was seasonal. It was a resort town. It would get very busy for Easter and Christmas and things.

And this lady, we were flat out and she just insisted that she didn't want this Easter egg or big round, you know, chocolate shell egg.

Yeah. I eventually, I snatched it off her and I threw it on the ground and smashed it into a million pieces. So wait, she's in a long, and she's like, I don't want this anymore. But she's just been in the long line and probably had heaps of time

to run it back to her as from, she's like, but I don't want this anymore. So you were just like, give it here. Yeah. Boom. Yeah, yeah, basically. That must have felt so good. And then I begrudgingly turned back to the till and gave her a refund.

And yeah, just thought about my decisions. You had a tantrum, and I loved it. I wish I'd seen it. The worst part about having a tantrum, though, is when you break something and then after you've cooled down, you're like, no, I've got to clean it up. You feel like a dog sniffing its own pee. Ben, thank you. Anna, you lost it at a customer, no, I've got to clean it up. You feel like a dog sniffing its own pee. Ben, thank you. Anna,

you lost it at a customer? Yeah, I did. So I worked at a mainstream retailer at Christmas time. By the way, I'm loving everybody's dodging any big client names here. Yes, I am. Mainstream retailer at Christmas.

If anyone can put clients off from advertising on the show, I'll take care of that. All of our callers are remaining clean. So she asked to look at a vase out of the box. I said, yeah, all good. Now, do you say vase? Do you say vase? I say vase.

Okay. I think I'm bivasual. I will say vase sometimes and vase other times. Okay. Oh, those are beautiful flowers. Put them in a vase. No, I say vase. I say vase. That buy a vaseual. I will say vase sometimes and vase other times. Okay. Oh, those are beautiful flowers. Put them in a vase. No, I say vase. I say vase.

That's a vase. No, you're not wrong. We're just different. We need a great big melting pot. We're learning everybody's got differences and it doesn't mean we have to hate each other. No. I actually quite like you, Anna.

Anyway, carry on, please. Get the vase out of the box. Yeah, anyway, she was like, okay, I want to buy it, but I don't want that one because it's been taken out of the box. You bitch. You bitch.

You want it taken out of the box. Oh, that is so infuriating. And then we had a bit of a, she had a hissy fit, and then I kind of lost it. She said, I don't want a shot. I'm never coming back here. It's bad customer service. And then I turned around and said, well, we don't want you back.

B word. So you can leave. We don't want you back. B word. So you can leave. We don't want you back, bitch. I love that you, on behalf of the giant multinational company, said we don't want you. Bitch. You should have had the expel bell. You're going to be like, expelled?

You're not welcome back here. Feel free to go to another store. I love that. I love that so much. Anna, thank you. But this is, it's been in the box. You know the conditions. This is why I don't like buying something that I haven't looked at.

Because if it's in a box and you can't see it, what if there's a crack in it when you get home or a chip? I bought some new plates and I opened them up and they hadn't been glazed. And I was like, what? Should have looked them in the shop. They hadn't glazed the plates? I know, the plates were glazed, the side plates were glazed, the bowls. Raw.

Raw dog. Raw dog bowls. I know. Anyway, it's a real journey. It's a bowl journey. Yeah, right. Don't stop believing. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Last Christmas, I gave you my Chris. But the very next Chris, you Chris me a Chris. This Chris, to save me from Chris. I Chris you a Chris Chris, Chris, Chris It's a real sing-along. It's a real sing-along. Well, every day this week,

we're on the hunt for famous Chris's. Famous Christians. We've been talking about the time of the season. It's going to be hard by, I feel like Thursday, Friday is going to be quite hard. We've got plenty up our sleeve. Yesterday was Chris Parker. I think I know who you've chosen.

Well, I said a medical professional. And a welcome to Chris Mass and to the show, Chris Warner. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, Doctor. A.K.A. Michael Galvin. No, you can't A.K.A. Chris Mass. This has been an interview with Chris Warner.

With Chris Warner. Not the man that plays Chris Warner. Right. Though I would love to chat to Michael. We certainly must chat to Chris. Thank you so much for doing this for us. And the Shortland Street cliffhanger, we are due, what is it, the 21st of December? Yep, that's right.

Someone's going to die. Someone always dies at Christmas. What? That is not wrong. It's a cursed neighbourhood. It's a cursed... I bet the real estate agents aren't putting that on their listings. Moved to Ferndale.

Guaranteed one death every festive season. Sometimes more than... Yeah, sometimes more than one. So it's going to be an hour special on the 21st of December. Oh. I mean, you've... Chris... Michael.

Chris. You have been through many of these cliffhangers. That's right. on the 21st of December. Oh. Chris, Michael, Chris, you have been through many of these cliffhangers. That's right. I've survived all of them. I know. I just, I'm not, I, do you know what? And I don't want to curse you because maybe you've got a mortgage the size of ours,

but I don't. Yeah, I have. Oh my God. I heard the tone and I feel that. Like the day is going to come that you may have your own cliffhanger, right? There may come a time where Dr. Chris Warner, the beloved doctor. I've had a few.

Yes, he's been involved in some classics. No, I mean where Dr. Chris Warner is going to die. How would you like to go? How would I like to go? Oh, well, okay, my answer to this question is that, because I get this question, and this is my answer. I would like to be in the middle of a scene

and then suddenly go, hang on, there's no fourth wall. And then I look up and I say, what? There's no roof. And then I go outside and say, this isn't a real hospital. And say, these aren't real doctors.

And so my point is that if I'm going to die, I want to take the whole thing down. Oh, yeah. Go, go, go, go. And so my point is that if I'm going to die, I want to take the whole thing down. Oh, yeah. Go, go, go, go. You're going to go straight down the barrel. I thought... Absolutely, down the barrel, down the barrel. Yeah.

Who are you? What are you looking at? Oh, my God, no, that's freaking me out. I like it so much. Or it turns into some kind of Truman Show. Yeah, that's it. You realise you're just part of this thing. Yeah, I like that.

And so it can no longer survive without me. That's my main thing. Yeah. I like that. And so it can no longer survive without me. That's my main thing. Yeah. I actually had no medical knowledge at all. No wonder they all kept dying on their operating chair. They really do. That is actually genius. If the time comes, and I hope it doesn't in the near future,

that the show, you know, wraps up. That is fantastic. That Dr. Chris Warner is in surgery, the patient dies, and then he just looks at the camera and is like, it's not even a real person. And then the actor who's dead just wakes up and is like, yeah, I'm all right. And then, oh, my God, that's amazing.

I love that. Now, do you know, I have to say, I've met Michael a couple of times and lots of my friends have been on Shortland Street. One thing I love is that you've been there for so long. You are the king of Shortland Street. But the common view of you is that you're one of the nicest people to work with. No, that's lovely. Oh, thank you.

Thank you. I mean, it's just, do you, is it for you, is it still exciting every day? I mean, I know that it is, right? You're just, you're living the dream. It's a good place. That's right. That's right. I did dream.

I did dream of having a job as an actor and making a living as an actor. And sure, I guess we do that. And so, yeah, I'm very grateful for that. And I do enjoy it. Yeah, I do. I'm very happy out there. You know, if you're happy in your job, it makes it easier to get along

with people. Yeah, that's right. Because Fletcher's been doing this for a while and he's a prick. I'm so proud. He's obviously not having a better job. Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah.

It's working for him. You also are a playwright. You've written many works. Have you got anything new that you're dreaming up script-wise? Yeah, thanks for asking. Yeah, thanks for asking. There's a gender point theatre in Palmerston North, which is a wonderful theatre.

One of the best. There's a comedy that I wrote called Man Band, and it's just got a few more days to go. It finishes on Saturday night, actually. I'm going to go down and see The Last Knight, and I'm going to take my daughter down. Oh, nice. So hopefully it'll be a good night.

I'm sure we'll be there. It's a great cast, and yeah, it's going really well. So that's on tour. Oh, yeah, there is until the 16th of December. That's correct. So if you're in Palmy, go to Centrepoint, or Worth Drive if you're in Wellington or the nearby regions because I've seen some of your shows before

and there's nothing that Dr. Warner can't do. Apart from actual surgery, as established. As established, yes. As established. The one-hour cliffhanger, you can catch it on the 21st of December. Michael Galvin. Pretty good Chris. Chris Warner. Pretty good, Chris. Chris Warner.

Pretty good, Chris. Thank you for joining us for Christmas. Thank you. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Play ZM's Fletch for the nightly.

So you're making gravy for... Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'll also... Let people know you're moving to the second tier gravy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're down gravy. We're moving to the sachets. But what if you make the nice gravy with all the fat and then add a sachet to make a big amount bulked out? That's acceptable. Is that acceptable?

Yeah, don't overdo it. Don't overdo it. I was hungover on Christmas Day. Yeah, don't overdo it. Don't overdo it. It was the night before Christmas. I was hungover one Christmas, and that was the Christmas my nan, Marlene, who's still alive and with us, and I'll be having Christmas with her this Christmas, said to me, hey, we've all been there, and told me the story about the first Christmas she spent with my granddad's parents. And she said she had to pull over and have a spew in the ditch on the way.

Jeepers, gran. She's like, we got ripped the night before. I was like, now we're talking. It's weird to think your grandparents were just loose as back in the day. I've never seen my grandparents drunk. Oh no, they didn't drink.

She enjoys a drink. My pop loved the rams but that's basically water. At my brother's wedding she had a couple of champagnes and she said to me, do you know they say a good champagne is as good as an organism. Oh, an organism.

She meant orgasms. Please, sir. An organism. Okay, your top four, talking politics at the Christmas dinner table. That will be steered so far away from this Christmas at my place. This Christmas, no.

But how do you get through? That's all subjective. I'm going to sit there conversing. Yeah, that's a subjective situation. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Every year the royal family releases their photo for their Christmas card.

Oh, yeah. This year it's kind of harrowing. It's in black and white. Have you seen it? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. What did I say? Somebody said Charlotte, the daughter,

looks like she's about to tell you about the best deal on timeshare. Yeah, right. She's got a real sales pitch energy. Right. Yeah, it's an interesting photo, and people are noticing a couple of odd things with it. Like one of them is Prince William's other leg. You can't really see it.

And then here's, now this is Louis, right? That's the young one. Is that Louis? Yeah. He's missing a finger. He's a cheeky boy. Straight up missing a finger. What?

Why is that? Is it tucked in? It's behind the chair. Yeah, but he's gone like that. His middle finger is like tucked like that. And it looks like it's been amputated. And everyone was like. Well, where's his finger gone?

He has a cheeky little shit. He has a little shit. He's always at the royal events absolutely mucking in. The oldest one looks like a smug little son of a gun. Yeah, goody two shoes. The young one looks like the fire starter. Every time you Google, he's five years old and he's just, he didn't ask to be in the

royal family. Not the royal family. They shouldn't be going to a family you know in the 90s you got your family portrait taken in front of a mottled grey like yeah that's what it looks like. Yeah it's not a great photo but the for me the point of conversation was the fact that Prince Louis

missing a finger and everyone was like how did he lose his finger and then there's always these funny articles about how this cheeky little royal lost his finger. Yeah. So I wanted to know... Hey! What? So he's got four fingers showing. One is a stump.

You can't see the thumb. What? You can see four distinct fingers, none of which are the thumb. Has it been photoshopped badly? No, but the middle is the stump. You know like the Kardashians are always terribly photoshopping things? You zoom in on that. You can see the little finger, the ring finger.

Then if the middle finger is the stump, there's two distinct fingers to the side of that and the thumb wouldn't be. So he's got no thumb, four fingers and a middle stump. Yeah. How interesting. How interesting. So my question that I want to spark,

yeah, God, he's got no thumb, doesn't he? My, what the stump? How does nobody notice this when they're Photoshopping things? I don't know. Like you're about to release this, the entire world is going to be looking at this photo. Don't you get someone to run over it or don't you zoom in to check your edits?

You do. This is the royal family. This is the future king of the world. Anyway, how'd to check your edits? You do. This is the royal family. This is the future king of the world. Anyway, how'd you lose your finger? How'd you actually lose your finger? Is this an impossible finding topic? No, because I know at least two people who have lost fingers. Oh, I know these people that have lost digits.

I don't know anyone that's lost a finger. Do I? I've got a friend who works in cabinet making. He's lost a couple of fingers. Not like half fingers. Straight through. In machines. Now he teaches Aaron about the safety of using machines.

Now to try to prevent Aaron losing a finger. Oh my God. At school, one of my good mates, his dad lost a finger with a really sharp knife. I think it was more like a blade, like an industrial one. And then he was showing someone how he did it and he cut off the same finger on the other side.

He lost two fingers. No, he wasn't. It was wild. It was wild. And then you'd be telling people the story. I've got a mate. And they'd be like, wait up. That happened to my uncle.

It's not like an urban legend. No, because these are like direct connections to people. I knew a guy who cut off a toe with a spade. Yeah. Digging in bare feet as a kid. He was recreating it years later

and it kind of went like this and he took another toe off. For God's sake. Well, there you go. I mean, this is just ridiculous. I mean, it says a lot about the person, doesn't it? It does.

A lot. Well, a girl on my marching team has got a missing finger. How'd she lose her finger? I can't remember the story behind it. It just escapes me at the moment

but you know, you do all these hand movements and you're like, Natalie, put your hand, oh yeah, sorry.

She was working at the airport and a plane took it off. So, no, no, Guys, I'm looking at Louis

and other photos. He seems to have standard hands. All the fingers. Standard hands. Producer Jared, your granddad lost a finger?

Yeah, my grandpa lost the ring finger on his left hand, unjamming a stone from the lawnmower, and it flicked it off, and he went to go pick up the finger, but then

he lives on a farm, and one of the geese ate it before he could get to it. I tell you what, that is a certified silly goose. That's a silly goose. Silly goose of the week story, that is. Your grandad, is he still with us? No, tragically, he passed away earlier this year. Oh, Vorn.

Oh, Vorn. Rest. That's inappropriate. He would have a certified Silly Goose. Wow. The Silly Goose Award. You can't give someone a Silly Goose Award at 50. Posthumously, you can.

Posthumously. Please don't hold back. If I die, please give me all the Silly Geese Awards. They will be giving you a eulogy and be like, if he was anything, he was a silly goose. Yes. Yes, please. Okay, well, let's take some calls.

On the headstone. The silliest goose. Here lies a silly goose. 0800DARLS.M. Give us a call. You can text through 9696. Simple question. How'd you lose your finger?

Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. You know what we've got on our our hands a bunch of silly gooses. Man, the stories, we're going to gaggle of silly geese. We do. There are some insane stories coming through. We want to know this morning how you lost your finger. Yeah, Prince Louis looks like he's missing a digit in the royal family photo for Christmas. Let's start.

Coburn, good morning. Good morning, guys. Who lost a finger? It's your birthday, it's a rad name. photo for Christmas. Let's start. Coburn, good morning. Good morning, guys. It's a rad name. Thanks, Steve. It's a weird name. I love it. It's cool. What a cool first name. Oh, my friend Natalie messaged it was a lawnmower.

Oh, was it? That's how she lost it. What about you, Coburn? How did you lose yours? Not me, my mum. Oh, okay. How? Yeah. So when she was younger, she worked at a chicken poultry farm.

Right. Okay. Did a chicken pluck it off? No, she was in the boning room and she actually lost it on a bandsaw cutting the chicken. Oh, my God. Yuck. Okay. Did she get it back?

Did she get it back or did it just end up in a pack of, like, you know, 10 drumsticks or something? Oh, I don't know. Someone got a nub. Oh, someone's chewing a nub. What if they battered the nub? We wouldn't know. It's gone.

It's gone. Man, this is a dud. Chicken tender, it'd look like a tender. You know when you buy nibbles, like chicken nibbles? We don't know what they are. All part of the chicken is a nibble. Usually the tenders don't have a bone in them, but this one's chewy.

Coburn, thank you. Steph, this is your friend's mum lost a finger. She did. We were really young and we were all over at their place and we were playing tug-of-war. And she wrapped the rope around her hand. She was the first in line on the opposite side and we pulled before they were ready

and we ripped all of her fingers off by herself. Okay, this is horrible. All of them. All of them. All of them. All of them. So she's just got one hand with no fingers. Yeah. Then it's skinned them.

Ah, Bourne, I don't think we need to go. Let's not go into the horrific details of that. Because I've heard that before. But you know when you go on the back of a boat, like getting tugged or something. Yeah. Never wrap your thing around it. Oh, no.

Because if a boat goes like that, it'll just come off. No, boats are for drinking cocktails on, not for wakeboarding and... Boats are for getting to Waiheke, and that's it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Or between islands. Yes. Natalie, good morning.

Morena. Your dad lost a finger. He did. So he lost his index finger in a motorbike accident. Is that the pointy big one on the left? It's the pointy one. And one of the witnesses found the finger for him, so they reattached it.

Oh, that's nice. Does it work? Does it work? Well, the story's not finished because a couple years later, he was mixing concrete in a concrete mixer and took the same finger off again. It just never wanted to be there.

How did he lose it in a concrete mixer and the belt? I don't know because I just get told stories. I don't actually know the details but that's the story he tells us. So what's the deal you can't reattach the same finger twice? That's the old saying. But especially not when it's been in concrete.

Oh, got in the concrete. I feel really fascinated how it got in the concrete, because I would have thought it was the belt that drives it. It must have been ripped off in the mixer. In the turner. Oh my god, Natalie, thank you for sharing.

Brooke, your partner lost a finger. Yeah, she did. So five months ago, we were ice skating, and she got knocked over, and someone's ice skate chopped off her finger. Oh, my God. Someone died recently, didn't they? Somebody got their throat slit.

And a British ice hockey player. Oh, yeah, the blades have to be sharp, because that's how they cut through the ice. Oh, no, thank you. Oh, my God. Goodness me. No. Oh, my God the blades have to be sharp because that's how they cut through the ice. Oh, no, thank you. Shoot, Brock. Goodness me. No. Oh, my God.

And so did they reattach it? Yeah, they did. So they stitched it back on, but the bone never reattached. So it's actually... A floppy finger. When she takes her hand, it's all... Yeah, it's floppy. That's a floppy finger.

The bone's completely separate. Wait, so... And there's no nail even. No nail. No nail. She's got a little penis on her hand. She's got a little skinny willy. She's got a little penis on her hand. She's got a little floppy doodle. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, I'm sorry. We shouldn't be laughing. That's horrible. So it still took to the body except the bone. Yeah, so the skin attached and I think all the nerves are there. But, yeah, the bone is just floppy inside her finger. Oh, my God, that's fascinating isn't it? Yeah.

And so you don't go ice skating anymore? Well, no. I might go back. I might take the kids but I don't think she will. Nah, yeah. And what about the person that ran over her finger? It wasn't you, was it? I think it might have been my son but we're not 100% sure.

Oh, okay. Let's not, yeah, let's just like, no one needs're not 100% sure. Could have been a stranger. Oh, okay. Let's not, yeah, let's just like, no one needs to be blamed for that. You know, it happened. Far out. Wow, Brooke, thank you so much for sharing. Okay, one more story on the phone. I'm feeling dizzy. How did you lose a finger?

I was at school in year nine and decided to switch from French class to woodwork. And on my second class, managed to get it stuck in the electric sander. Oui, oui. You should have bonjour'd. You should have said bonjouring. You should have done more bonjour-ing. So what did your teacher do in that moment? Well, I actually had a student teacher at the time.

So I have no idea if he continued to become a teacher. That load of good he was. I think if you lose a kid's finger in your first week on placement, I think you're probably doomed, eh? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, it was definitely an experience. And so it's gone forever, or they reattached it?

No, well, because it sort of got ground up, I guess. Why'd you say ground up? Why'd you say ground up? It sounded off, sounded off, didn't it? Thank you, Charlie, for sharing. Oh, my God, the stories are insane. There's so many insane stories. So many.

I've got a mate who lost his ring finger during a car chase shootout. He was in the flying squad in Durban, South Africa. He was shot by fleeing suspects and the bullet went right through his finger and just shot off his ring finger. Yeah, they were like, bang, bang, bang. And I just went, boom, and just took off his finger. I saw that today when you shot me with the toy dart.

You shot me in the face. Yeah, and I got shot in the hand. I was like, imagine getting shot in the hand. That actually happened to someone. It'd blow your bones apart. Yeah. It'd be such a mess. You were talking about he shot you in the little finger. He shot me in the face. I was like, imagine getting shot in the hand. That actually happened to someone. It'd blow your bones apart. Yeah. It'd be such a mess. He shot you in the little finger.

He shot me in the face. I wasn't going to bring it up. You both had it coming. You had both been bad, bad. Baddy bad bads. Wow. Okay. This will be the final story.

Oh, no. I don't know. I don't know. I'm feeling like literally gross about the rope. This one is funny. Yeah. Because it didn't happen to me. Okay.

Somebody said, my now husband and I were fooling around. Oh, shut up. He stuck his fingers in my mouth. I gagged. It caused me to sneeze and I bit the tips of both of his fingers off. Shit. Oh, fingers off. Shit. Oh, my God. Wait.

I need more. I need follow-up. Do not stick your fingers in anyone's mouth. She bit the tips of his fingers off. Because apparently it's like biting for a carrot. Yeah, yeah. The same force required. And the closer it gets to the tip, the less force is required. But you imagine, and then someone goes, and you're like, oh, I better get them out.

And now on the way out, they go, and sneeze and bite your fingers off. Okay, were they reattached? I need a follow-up. No, the tips would be harder to reattach than the whole finger. Yeah, the whole finger, they can do it. So they use glue or something, medical glue. Yes, stick it down.

They never get feeling back in it and stuff, and once it's up past that joint, it doesn't do anything. Oh, my God. And then everyone's like, where's the tip of your fingers? Oh, well, funny story. Funny story. I shoved my fingers in my wife's mouth. She gagged.

I tried to pull them out. She sneezed and bit my fingers off. Okay, we need a follow-up. Were they reattached or do you have nubs? Wow. Fact of the day is next. Wild stories. That was a lot guys

Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley Play ZM Fact of the day Day day day day Today's fact of the Day is about the origins of the candy cane. Because somebody messaged me and said... It's Christmas week. It is Christmas week at Fact of the Day.

Sorry, I do apologise if you missed yesterday's show. We've got some new listeners, remember, and we're really... They're on the cusp of turning us off. Yeah, yeah. Well, hang in there. This is Fact of the Day, a little segment where I try to tell you something maybe you didn't know. Maybe you already knew it.

Maybe you didn't. Well, somebody messaged me saying, here's a fact for you, Fact of the Day, Christmas week. Well, they don't talk like that. How dare you? I rang them and this is exactly what they sounded like. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah.

I called them. I said, hello. I'm just, here it is. Did you know candy canes look like a J because the J stands for Jesus? And I said, absolutely, that is not true. That's not true. It's a shepherd's crook. Crook.

A hundred percent. It's based on a shepherd's crook. Yeah. So I did some research to give you the origins of the Christmas candy cane. Okay. 1670. Yep. That's 1670. Yep. That's a long time ago.

I barely remember. In Bad Sleham. In Cologne, Germany. Oh, okay. Now, I'm not sure. I've never been to Cologne, Germany. In Cologny. It may be Cologny,

but I also think, was it the place where Cologne was invented? Oh, maybe it was. Hence why it's called cologne. Because Germans famously, if they invent something, they just name it after where it was invented.

Hamburg invented the hamburgers. Cologne. Frankfurt invented the frankfurters. Madrid. Invented the... Madrid's in Spain. Madrid-y daddy-doody. Cologne.

Madrid-y daddy-doody. The fourth largest. Have you been to Cologne? It looks lovely. No, I have not. Was sight. This is another thing you'll enjoy new listeners about Fact of the Day. Often during Fact of the Day, we get a little bit sidetracked.

Yeah, we get sub-facty, don't we? Yeah. Was Cologne invented in Cologne? The answer is Cologne is named after the place where it was invented, the city of Cologne in Germany. There you go. Traditionally, it uses a lot of citrus and natural floral scents. The original cologne from Cologne was designed to smell

like an Italian spring morning of that morning daffodils, mountain daffodils, and orange blossoms after the rain. Lovely. Full noise. We're learning today, aren't we? There's going to be a week next week, next year, for fact of the day, and it's going to be places named after where they were invented. Oh, yeah, great.

I love that. Great, we've got Cologne and champagne. Write that in your calendar because you will forget that. I'll write that down. Carwin! I'll write that down, Carwin. Take a note. Take a note.

You're on your phone. The others are working. Get off your phone. No. Get off your phone. I'm on my phone taking a note. Taganist. Are you doing it on your phone?

She's taking a note. This is how the kids take notes, on their phones. Yeah, good. Wild. Wild. Making a check. Good on you. Thank you doing it on your phone? This is how the kids take notes, on their phones. Yeah, good. Wild. Wild. Making a check. Good on you.

Thank you very much. Next week. Origin Week. Named after where it's from. We're not here next week. Back to the candy cane. Next year. Next year.

I mean next year. I'm not coming in next week. Hey, hey, I'm not coming in next week. It's 1670 in Cologne, Germany, and the choir master at the Cologne Cathedral, which I can only imagine smells lovely. Yeah. at the Cologne Cathedral, which I can only imagine smells lovely, has a problem with the nativity scene, the live in Christ tradition of Christmas Eve. Their little baby Jesus and all the kids like sit around

and there's three wise men and it's a cute little dress up situation. Well, those kids wouldn't shut the hell up. And there was a choir singing and these kids are like, I didn't want to be Jesus. I wanted to be Mary. Shut up. And they're talking and they're chattering. So kids are like, I didn't want to be Jesus. I wanted to be Mary. Shut up. And they're talking and they're chattering.

So he's like, I need something for them to suck on to shush their mouths. So he went to a local candy maker and said, I need a sugar stick to keep the children entertained. So it needs to last. I can't give them a quick hit lolly. I can't give them a fruit burst. A minty won't do. I can't give them a jube. A minty won't do. I can't give them a jube.

A minty, we're heading in the right direction. Your minty's five minutes max. I'm imagining when it was invented, because they've always been like peppermint flavoured, is that that was quite a nice flavour. But nowadays it's not the best. Yeah. Wouldn't be your number one.

So he goes to the local candy maker and he says, I need a sugar stick. I want it to be different. And I want it to have a tie in. So he's like, well, there's shepherds everywhere in the Bible in a very easy shape to make. Or shepherds watch their flock by night. Would be the crook.

Yeah. Of the shepherd's crook. So he did that. And then the kids could hold it by the crook and suck on the end. I wonder if that point if they realised that if you twist it in your mouth, you could make a sharp end. And then stab another kid, yeah. Yeah.

So apparently it just took off. Yeah, you can. They got these kids and they were quiet and the choir sung and everyone was like, great. And he's like, I might start selling these. Not like the church to want to make a bit of money on the side. And he started selling it and it took off. So it spread from Germany to other parts of Europe.

Wow. And that's the origin story of the candy cane. it spread from Germany to other parts of Europe. Wow. And that's the origin story of the candy cane. That's a good fact of the day for me today. It's really good. So today's fact of the day is the candy cane isn't a J for Jesus. It's a shepherd's crook and it was invented in Cologne, Germany. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Was it last week that I brought this up? I noticed that I got out of the shower and I looked down and there was quite long, dark hair sprouting from my right nipple. And I was like, where did you come from, young man?

You gendered the... Feels masculine to me. It's got a masculine energy. Not because it's a hair. It's attitude. The way it just rocked in unannounced and made itself at home. I live here now. I'm not taking my shoes off.

Yeah. Is it possible that it is your fiancé Aaron's hair that's embedded itself into your nipple? No, it feels like it's definitely coming from a... Root. Root. But that's what they do. They root themselves. Oh, my God.

Because don't hairdressers have this problem? Yes. I've heard from hairdressers that they can, yeah, if they cut a hair and it hits and just the conditions are just right. Really? It's just to them. Moist growing conditions that just kind of, yeah. God.

Next time you shave your beard, feel free to sprinkle it on my head. I've tried. You know I've got a head I don't think it works that way Falling out Right I actually Over summer I'm planning to again

You know when I'm out of the public eye For a while over a summer break Yeah A zen pic I will Yes That That one

Yeah But also I was going to again Glue a whole lot of my pubes to my head Yeah For them to take root. I just feel like every time he does it, like, you can just tell. Yeah. It's not subtle.

I keep it short. I keep it short. It's hard to tell when they're short, but if I let it grow out a little bit. Yeah. Tight curl. Right. Yeah, tight curl. So why have you still got this hair days later?

Why haven't you yanked it out? Well, I had two sets of tweezers in my life, both of which have succumbed to the, um, no, I've tried pinching it with my fingernails. Human tweezers, fingers, yank it out. Yeah, I know, but then I do that and it curls it like a ribbon. You know when you're doing

a ribbon and you drag the scissors along it? I love doing that. That's what happens to it. So now it's got a curl to it, but it's still there and I can't get rid of it. And then yesterday I saw it again in the shower and I was like, maybe I think I'm going to do like a summer challenge. I'm going to try to measure it. I'm going to get a tape measure on this. This will be the worst thing I've ever asked Aaron to do in his life,

but we'll just do it. I'll get him to measure it and I'm going to see how long the young thing can grow over the course of our off-air break. Right. Which is four weeks. What are we running at at the moment? Like a centimetre? Two. Two, I reckon. Sorry?

No, I mean... That's great. That's so good for you. I just wonder if... With any other hair that grows on my body, like armpit hair or whatever, like you get rid of it before it gets to a – Yeah. You never let it get to its full –

I've always wondered how your eyebrows know to stop. Yeah, will it stop? That's my question. But other ones don't. Your eyebrows are there from day one, and maybe when you get older, they start getting a little twisted and they keep growing. But like a hair that appears – A hair on your head grows, your beard

hair, your beard will just grow longer and longer. The armpits, I don't know, they must stop. They must get there certainly. Well you wouldn't weave them down. I mean Aaron doesn't remove his armpit hair and it's just there. It just stays the same. Yeah. So I'm going to see if mine reaches a limit. Okay. How far can it go?

Maybe we'll take some bets. Okay, right. And then what? Pluck it out and sell it for charity. I'm going to pluck it out. I'm going to mount it on a beautiful card, you know, like a nice quality card. Oh, yeah. Sell it for charity. I think we'll frame it and we'll raise some money. Set it in resin.

Yeah. Set it in resin. I could get one of those balls, those resin, you know, balls and have it floating in the middle. Yeah. I don't know. There's a lot of projects we could do with this nipple here, and have it floating in the middle. Yeah. I don't know. There's a lot of projects we could do with this nipple here. I need to name it as well. Yeah, I don't know.

Name suggestions welcome, 9696. I don't know. Well, I just wish it luck. Harry McClary. I'm not calling it McClary. If anybody has Hayley for Secret Santa, I'm just saying some tweezers would be a great gift. How dare you?

Well, you don't have any. Wouldn't it be a perfect gift? Someone said, who says romance is dead? Ode to be Aaron. Babe, can you come in here? Don't pull it out. I need you to put the tape measure hard up against the areola, and I need you to measure the length of that.

If that ain't romance, I don't know what is. Play. Zedins, Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. We head to producer Shannon at the social media desk and she's been on the socials TikTok I believe Yeah, doom scrolling

and you stumbled across this sort of relationship hypothetical Very toxic, which is also what I specialise in Is this your algorithm? Just anything toxic? Oh yeah, this is on the same par as would you love me if I was a worm? That kind of error.

There's no right answer really, is there? I saw a worm the other day on the lawn, on my parents' lawn, and it was just wiggling around. I was like, you silly worm. You need to go under the grass. But if it was Margaret, you'd love that. My fictitious wife or girlfriend. No, they got married

I wasn't even invited oh no it was in they eloped oh okay yeah they got married in a zorb oh my god I know they love adventure

we love the water adventure of course yeah cause no one's dry zorbing I know don't dry zorb can you imagine

the static charge on Margaret's chiffon wedding dress oh my god she had to be wet oh she got it from Marley Express

please don't talk about my Margaret like that. Oh my god, they're so cute. No aesthetic charge builds up when she's wet. Oh, they are just so sweet. They are adorable. Yuck. Could you imagine it? Okay. I hope Aaron and I turn out like that.

That's what everybody should aim for. So Shannon, what was this relationship hypothetical? So, I want you to imagine your partner disappears today. Just full ghost. Where'd she go? You got any money? Are we talking like Avengers? You know in the Avengers and Thanos was like,

and everybody disappeared for five years. Yeah, sure. But yeah, they're gone. The blip. No phone, no notes, no anything. All their stuff's gone from the house. They just disappear from your life. Oh my God no note, no anything. All their stuff's gone from the house. They just disappear from your life.

Oh, my God. Some years pass. Yeah. We're five years down the track now. You've remarried. It took a bit, but you've remarried. Right, and moved on. Moved on. We've all moved on.

Okay. Who am I remarrying? Hot? Jason Mamal. Am I upgrading? Well, far out. I'll say for the hypothetical, on par. This person is as good

as your current partner that was good so five years has passed, you've remarried your original partner shows back up, would you leave your new husband away? this is cast away

they kiss in the rain and like TV shows, this has been a theme what was that show where those people on a plane? Lost. No, not Lost, that other one. The 100? Yeah, is that it? Yeah, and they were somehow in somewhere for five years and they come back and people have moved on and done that.

But for them it felt like no time at all. Is that the one? Yeah, that's the one. Manifest. That's what it is. This is also like the exact between the last two Avengers films. Like this is the snap, half of the population disappears. Stop trying to make this into an Avengers moment. Five years later, Tony Stark says,

I am Iron Man and clicks, giving us probably the greatest cinematic moment of maybe ever. And then people come back and then you've got to deal with it because five years, some people had moved on. Yeah. Greatest cinematic moment, but it didn't win an Oscar. interesting crazy all at one was the hearts and all at one of the hearts and minds of people all around the world and it's still one of the highest grossing films of all time i think point taken i think that the big question is why did they leave like if they

ghosted no that's they had no they've got to have no choice in the matter yeah okay it's got to have been taken out of their hands. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And so would you now leave your current partner for your OG partner? It just depends. Yeah. A lot depends. Like what are we working with?

What? Who's the new person? What you should reply is, of course, I would leave anyone for you. Oh, so if you, if Aaron asked me this question, oh no, he wouldn't. If I asked Aaron this question, oh no, he wouldn't. If I asked Aaron this question, his answer should be I would leave them in a heartbeat. You're my soulmate. You're my number

one. Of course. For any guys or any people listening, that is the correct answer. But there is a little bit of like a double-edged sword with answering like that though, because then I would be like, are you not a loyal guy? Yeah, yeah, because you've made a commitment to a new person. Oh yeah, oh my god, you can't win. It's a hypothetical woman question.

There is no winning. You just pick which one you want to have the fight about. Which one's better in bed? What if you love this person so much and then they disappear and then you get with someone who's like not as fun, but good lord. You know, in the boudoir, we are

hot rocking. You're electric. We're electric. Hot stuff. I'm sure if you answered like that, you're starting a big fight. If you said, are they better in bed than you? Okay. I don't think she'd be happy with that answer. I think the best thing is not to answer these at all, any of these hypotheticals.

Because you're not winning. Oh, but it is fun to pick a fight like that, isn't it? It is. It's fun to just sort of scratch the surface. Again, toxic. She just admitted it. Guys, but it is fun to pick a fight like that, isn't it? It is. It's fun to just sort of scratch the surface. Again, toxic. She just admitted it. Guys, one just admitted it. One just admitted it.
