The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning, welcome to the show. Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. And I didn't see a single pink sun. I didn't either.

I didn't even see any aurora at all. Fawn, are you? I did. Sort of did. Because I saw people start posting about it. Yeah. And I went outside and I was like, I can't see anything. I think I want to see something. So. And I went outside and I was like, I can't see anything.

I think I want to see something. So my brain's like, oh, was that something? But then I was like, I can't see anything. And then people were like, oh, no, you take a photo on long exposure. So I put my phone up and took a photo and the flash went off, even though you can never get an iPhone's flash to go off when you want it to. So I had to turn that off. And then the three second exposure was pink. Yeah to. So I had to turn that off. And then the three-second exposure was pink. Yeah.

Now, I couldn't see that pink. I liked to imagine I could, but yeah, I couldn't. And then the photo showed it pink, and I was like, oh, okay, that's what it looks like. I think a lot of people who are sharing the photos, it's like the camera did a lot of the heavy lifting. Yeah. You know, because you've seen the northern lights, eh? Yeah, but the same thing. Like, you could see some of them with your naked eye,

but when you long exposure, it absolutely pops. Yeah. So it's kind of... So you can't really... It's kind of cheating. Yeah, I know. Yeah. But then you could see some of them with your naked eye.

But you're so glad I spent millions of dollars going up the fun top of Norway when I could have just gone to... Got to take a photo. The further south you went the better it got. Yeah. I've got a mate

that lives in Wanaka. Mike. And I was like, Mike, send us some photos. Give it to me. And he's like, eh.

I was like, you're in the best spot for everything. And he's like, oh, we walked up Mount Iron. Yeah.

And he's like, we looked at it. It was pretty good, but I didn't take any photos. I was like, you son of a bitch. Stop living in the moment, Mike. I need to sing it. Living in the moment.

I love that. Stop living in the moment, Mike. Yeah. Well, we're going to talk to a man at about 7.30 today called Ian Griffins. I used to follow him on Twitter years ago, but then I've shut down my Twitter account. And I've just worked out he's on Instagram too. Now, this is a man who knows an aurora. He knows an aurora. He knows an aurora.

He's got so many. He's a photographer. He works at Dunedin's Museum. Yep. He's an astronomer. He's an expert on the Hubble telescope. This guy's the guy to talk to. We're going to talk to him later on today.

How lucky are we? Apparently, this could be around for like another week, right? Yeah. And the sun's exploding or something and that's why this is happening. That's good. We'll get the official word from Ian, but I don't want anyone to panic and think the sun's exploding or something and that's why this is happening. We'll get the official word from Ian but I don't want anyone to panic and think

the sun's exploded. Is he going to tell us if it's going to be a good lucky week for us in life and love? No, that's astrology. I think he would turn his nose up at that. Damn. He would say poo-poo to that. Yeah. If you want a little taste of Ian's work, Portobello Pictures is

his Instagram account. I'm just going to show my two great pictures. Show my two co-workers here his latest batch of Aurora. Are we not friends today? Are we friends and co-workers or just co-workers? Wow, those are incredible photos. Amazing.

I feel like I haven't been able to get away from you guys. Also, it's just going to be good to hear him explain what the hell this all is and how it happens and stuff. He's got no idea. Yeah, neither. Something about the sun or something. Some flares? I don't know. Oh, I just thought it was God. Silly little poll coming up. Is God letting us know that he's okay with the

gays now? God is flying his rainbow flag. Yeah, the pretty colours. Silly little poll coming up soon. Do you still have a satellite dish on you at roof? Because, you you know everyone's still got one But no one has Sky anymore I actually raised this with the group because I sort of need to approach it with the neighbour

You've got a satellite dish issue Yeah a dish issue A dish-oo I've got a satellite dish-oo Next, Sered On our $5 note, you're familiar with him? The New Zealander that conquered Everest? Yes.

Knocked the bastard off. Proud of him. A Hollywood, not quite legendary status yet, but a very fine actor has been cast to play Sered. Let's pull the Sopatas on a Kiwis can next. Tom Hiddleston. Loki from the MCU He was the night manager

Which by the way They're doing a season 2 of that Yeah which is set heaps of years later That was a great series That kind of era of wine actor All confused Your Chris's and your Tom's I got him

I just needed a picture Of my head Of Tom Well he dated Taylor Swift For a while didn't he Yeah We had 12 songs That all sounded the same

For like two months Remember they It was quite sickening Wasn't it I'd say that's hooking up Remember they went to the beach And they Didn't he wear a t-shirt

Or something Did he wear a t-shirt At the beach No was it like A Taylor Swift t-shirt Or something Yeah Is that what I'm saying Yeah Yeah We're so up with the play Of the fun dating Did he wear a T-shirt at the beach? No, was it like a Taylor Swift T-shirt or something? Yeah. Is that what I'm saying?

Yeah. We're so up with the play of the fun data. Well, no, it was just years ago. It was just years ago. It was ages and ages ago. It was so long ago. Well, he's going to play Sir Edmund Hillary. Yeah, it said, I love TS.

Oh, that's cute. Yeah, lots of PDAs. Time saver traffic. Early for the love bond. He just loved time saver traffic. Yeah. I love time saver traffic. That's what it was.

Exactly what he loves. It's always on. So this is going to be a biopic of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, the Nepalese mountaineer who went up Everest. And climbed it a lot of times, didn't he? It wasn't just with Sir Red. Oh, yeah. Once he found the way up, it was like easy.

But Tom's going to be Sir Ed. So it's not a movie about Sir Ed at all. He's just kind of there for bits of it? Well, obviously he's going to be one of the main players in the movie because I'm imagining there'll be a part where there's just the two of them straddling the world's tallest peak. And Sir Ed was tall. Tom's tall.

Tom's 187. How high was... That's my height. That's 6'2". Sir Ed was tall. Tom's tall. Tom's 187. How high was... That's my height. That's 6'2". Sir Ed was 6'5"? He was a big unit. He was... Oh, my God.

He was nearly two metres. Yeah. One metre 98. Because I remember seeing him at the airport, like, when he was older. Yeah. Just before he died. And, yeah, he was a giant man. He was a big dude.

Even though he did that, you know, old man shrinking thing. You know, old men... Old people shrink. Yeah. Yeah. Your nose and your ears you know, old man shrinking thing. You know, old men shrink. Bones sort of condense. Your nose and your ears keep going, but everything else does. Punching and shrinking. 88 he lived to. Got alarm bells for this because I'm yet to hear an American or British actor

do a good convincing New Zealand accent. Yeah. They'll go to Australia. Well, that's Doreen Vinnie Hopkins in The World's Fastest Indian. to Australia. in the world's fastest Indian. It's so bad. It's so bad. But you also know they're putting on the accent.

Oh, you're right. I can't watch any actor trying to put on a Kiwi accent. What's the one, the lake, top of the lake. Top of the lake. Who,

what's her name? Thingy Moss. Scientologist. Yes. Elizabeth. Bad. Terrible I stopped watching

I was like I can't do this Because of the accent Yeah You better to just do Australian And say Because it's easier Yeah And then say

I lived in Australia But is that the problem Yeah Do you know what I mean Is that where they go wrong They kind of go for the easier Also he doesn't look anything like Sir Edmund They're both kind of like skinny featured and...

No, he was a... Sir Ed had a big frame. Yeah, I know. Whereas Tom Hiddleston's quite slim, isn't he? Slight, slighter fellow. Yeah. I don't know. So, Willem Dafoe's going to be in it as well.

Oh, he's great, isn't he? Great in it. As the Green Goblin from Spider-Man. I'm not quite sure what the tie-in there is with the Sered story. Is he like a lands on top of the mountain? Yeah, he just lands on his Green Goblin board. Is he like another climber trying to get to the top? Colonel John Hunt, which was the English expedition leader.

Right. Because it was an English expedition, right, that Sered was on. So, yeah. Okay. That's what an English expedition, right, that Sir Ed was on. So, yeah. Okay. That's what the story's going to be. They still haven't cast Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Oh, yeah. So if you are, I'd imagine have to be a smaller fellow of Nepalese descent. Yeah.

I don't know any famous Nepalese actors. I can't name them on the top of my head. Aaron would be a good Sir Ed yeah like big features he's six foot six Nova we'd all watch it

and his beard shave we'd all watch it and think he was Greg Grover from Rover Nova yeah Nova Rover whatever

yeah true what's Grover you know what's Greg Grover doing climbing a mountain well he's powered by he's powered by Nova Nova energy

yeah the undeniable driving force behind the man that conquered Everest You know, what's Greg Grover doing climbing a mountain? Well, he's powered by Nova. Nova Energy. Yeah. The undeniable driving force behind the man that conquered Everest. Could be a little collaboration between... Could be. The Sir Edmund Hillary Foundation and Nova Energy. Silly little polo sticks. You've got an issue with the neighbours. I've got a dishu.

Yes, a satellite dishu. A dishu. Lucky you don't live in Mongadishu. You'd have a satellite dishew in Mongadishu. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Silly little poe Silly little poe It is so silly, silly, silly That the silly little poe Silly little poe Silly little poe Silly Little Pole, do you still have a satellite dish up? Hayley Sproul.

Well, we got a new roof as part of our reno. Perfect time to remove a satellite dish. Get it gone. Ugly thing and you don't need them anymore. But our house looks, is quite higher than our neighbours who are now renovating. They're new neighbours. Really nice.

But I've just noticed they haven't taken it off. And we look right down on it. And so I was like, at what point do you, you know, pop on over and be like, how good that we're renovating and get rid of these old hucky satellite dishes. If you still use Sky now,

you use the dish or it's all ultra fast broadband? No, no. It's all Wi-Fi. No, some people still need it. Okay, right. Really, you still need it. And, you know, we didn't even have Sky, but there was a Sky dish and they just

made it so you could watch Freeview through that satellite. Ah, okay. Some people might still use it. Yeah. Okay, interesting. Because I just thought we'd all go, it's all in the G. Yeah, because I use Freeview, but I just do it on a smart TV.

Yeah, smart TV. Oh, we can't all live in ultra bloody fast fibre inner city sanctums, can we? Because you see some roofs and they've got like four of them. And you're like, what are you doing there? And those huge UHF aerials still rocking around too. Yes, the big spindles. The thing is, if you got a smart TV and you had the internet that could stream Freeview, you're not going to get up on your roof and take it down for the sake of taking it down.

You're just going to ignore it. You've got to get up on your roof. It's dangerous. Yeah. You have to look at it, but that's your fault. Removing it could leave holes in your roof. You've got to plug them up. Then you're going to have a leaky roof. Well, removing it could leave holes in your roof. You've got to, what, plug them up? Then you're going to have a leaky roof?

Well, we asked the peeps. Okay. Do you still have a satellite dish up? 65% of people said no. They're gone. We'll go rid of them. Do you remember in the absolute heyday of Sky TV? Like, late 90s, early 2000s, when you'd book and you'd be like,

yes, I want Sky, and they'd say, someone can be there in three weeks to put the satellite up. Because that's how crazy busy they were, literally punching holes in roofs all around this beautiful country of ours to get one of those satellite dishes up. Oh, yeah. I remember when we got Sky, I was like, I guess

we're rich now. I guess I am the richest out of all. I guess I'll never leave the couch. I guess with all of these television channels. I guess I am the richest out of all. I guess I'll never leave the couch. Yeah. I guess with all of these television channels at my discretion. Cartoon Network.

65% of people said no. 35% of people said yes. Kate said, it's still up, just haven't been bothered to take it down. It doesn't get used. Yeah, so you just

wouldn't bother, would you? I'm going to get some lichen growth on that though. Yes. Oh, yeah. We've got big lichen growth on ours. Big lichen. Big lichen growth. Do you have to clean the lichen growth on that, though. Oh, yeah. We've got big lichen growth on ours. Big lichen.

Big lichen growth. Do you have to clean the lichen off to get a decent signal? Or is it not lichen dependent? Well, you get rain fade. Do you remember rain fading in a satellite dish? Yes, rain fade. You'd be watching the rugby and all of a sudden a big storm. And you'd be like, atmospheric interference.

Yes, we still have it up there, but only because it came with the house. And until this poll, I'd forgotten all about it. I should probably get it removed. Yeah, we still have it up there, but only because it came with the house. And until this poll, I'd forgotten all about it. I should probably get it removed. Yeah, get it gone. It's the thing, if you don't see it, you're looking out your window and seeing it, they probably don't even know it's there. I know.

Have they had the roof replaced in their renovation yet? No, it's quite a good quality roof. Okay, so there's no need to get up there. I think it's been replaced in the last 10 years. No need to get up there. Well, there is one need. Georgina, we only have the internet. If we want to watch live TV, we watch it on the respective app.

Yeah, so they've got theirs gone. Yeah, so they don't need the satellite dish. How else do you watch Sky? Says DTM. Well, DTM, we've just literally explained it. You didn't know at the time, but yeah, basically online, right? Yeah. There's smart TVs have the apps.

On the webs. Ashley, it came have the apps. On the webs. Ashley, it came with the house. It was damaged in the storm. No free view now. And I don't really get why the dishes are there. I swear I should be able to get free view through them, but shrug. Yeah.

That was what, yeah, ours was for free view, but it was so like skittery. Yeah. It was so, some days it would work fine, some days it wouldn't. No real reason. There hadn't been much. Finally took it off, said Kat, last week, so we can paint the roof. Haven't had any sort of TV hooked up since we moved in almost 10 years ago.

Wow, just look up, you know what I mean? Just living in the present. Living in the present, yeah. I will say, if you get Starlink internet, the old Sky Dish holder, the thing that holds onto the roof with the pipe, it does an okay job holding this. Oh, okay. That's good. Big fan of Elon Musk over here, isn't it? Yeah, wow.

Huge fan. Yeah. He's a great guy. You love everything he does. Every time you log onto the internet under Starlink, you have to go through ElonMusk.com and leave a love. Leave some hearts. Yeah. No, not at home, but yes, it's still on the roof at the Batch.

Oh, lovely. Oh, lovely. Darling, can we stay at your Batch, darling? Still no invite to the Batch. Remember when people would go to their Batch and take their Skybox or something? Yes, so Dad could watch the rugby. Yeah. Yeah.

They had two satellites, but only one box. I don't know. I've never had a can watch the rugby. Yeah. Yeah. They had two satellites but only one box. I don't know. I've never had a batch, don't I? No, neither. My flat has a satellite dish but we've never bothered

to figure out how to make it work. Yeah. Everything we do is streaming online. All those holes in the walls of that big black cord

coming through and you're always like, what do I connect you to? Tom says, can't reach the ugly bastard of a thing to tear it off the roof. Yeah.

Sounds like a challenge to me. I think all we've done with this poll is probably... Bring awareness. Bring problems to people's lives. Yeah. Them going like, oh, yeah, that thing. Maybe if you've broken legs when they fall off their roof. Yeah.

Right here on ZM. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. I sent Shannon did I send it to the whole group Shannon? yeah it was you know I'm part of all these smutty book groups

and someone had gone on a reddit thread for romance books and it was some person who had a name but I can only assume it's Shannon because they were like please please recommendations for hot

magicians and as we know Shannon's boyfriend is a magician I read this to him shouldn't have done it went straight to his head and it was looking the specific recommendation, I can't find the picture I sent,

but it was looking for recommendations of hot magicians, bonus points if they're really good at close-up magic. And I was like, what is this? And then all these people come on the thread and give all these recommendations for hot magicians. Wait, are there that many erotica books

out there about hot magicians? Name anything are there that many erotica books out there about hot magicians? Name anything and there is a smart book about it. Broccoli. There will 100% be a woman goes into the fridge and looks for something and the broccoli's like, hey baby down here. Oh, what's the broccoli doing?

It gets wild. Anyway, I thought no more of this. I thought this will tickle Shannon. Yeah. Now it's haunted my dreams. Okay. I had a dream where I don't know where Aaron was. Doesn't matter in this dream.

And I was on a street. It was like a pop-up before, you know, like, you know, when they're on the street and they sort of gather a crowd. Oh, yeah, like a busker. Yeah, like a busker. Yeah, like a busker. There was a busking magician and I... Oh, hon. Not in my immediate go-to, and I'm not yucking you, young Shannon.

Every now and then say to me, do you need to borrow some money? Do you need to borrow some eroticism? I know. It feels like you're scraping the bottom of the barrel. You know my type. This is not it. Anyway, this magician was there and I pulled up. I think I was with a friend.

It wasn't Shannon. It wasn't Aaron. It was just, I can't even remember who it was. Yeah. And this magician was doing magic on the street. And I was like, this is hot. And he came up to me and did like a bit of a card trick. And the panties hit the floor.

Don't laugh, Shannon. This is your area. It's my life. That's why I'm laughing. He came up to me and did like a bit of a card trick or something and revealed my card. And when it did, it had his phone number on it or something. Smooth.

Oh, I know. Smooth. He had this like curtain area and he was looking for a volunteer and I was like, pick me, I know. Smooth. And then he had this like curtain area and he was looking for a volunteer and I was like, pick me, pick me. And we're behind this curtain area and we got down. On the street? On the street. Well, people are waiting for like the magic trick to be revealed.

Yeah, the trick was we're not coming back. We're busy. In the stream, how many people were gathered around to watch? Oh, like 15. Like you had it kind of a huge crowd. But I have, so I've officially had quite a rambunctious dream about a magician. Welcome to my life.

Yeah. Hot, hot stuff. And was he hot, this magician? No. No. No. Not at all. Just saying I'm disappointed would be an understatement. No. No. Not at all. Just saying I'm disappointed would be an understatement.

I'm disappointed. But it was like... Well, why'd you hook up with him if he wasn't your type? Because he's a magician. Because he trialed me. Right, okay. Because he magicked me. Yeah, good with his hands.

He mentalists you. He could have mentalised me. Well, we know because Shannon sometimes has suspicions whether or not she does love her boyfriend or if he's actually mentalised me. Well, we know because Shannon sometimes has suspicions whether or not she does love her boyfriend or if he's actually mentalised her. Not a genuine suspicion, but a funny one. Anyway, so 15 people watched as I got flirted with by a magician. Okay, and then went behind the curtains.

Went behind the curtains to be a volunteer and we did stuff. Yuck. Yeah, yuck, bro. It's yuck. But I can't stop thinking about it. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. State Senator for Hawaii, Glenn Wakai, a Democrat, says that the shaka embodies all that it eliminates from Hawaii. Love that. Lawmakers last week passed a measure that would recognise Hawaii as the shaka's birthplace, though there are competing theories on the gesture's origins.

Okay. That's Hawaiian. Yeah. That's Hawaiian. Yeah. That's got big. James Mamoa loves a shaka. Got a big shaka. Yeah, he does. So it basically just, hello, goodbye, hang loose, have a good time.

Drive past someone. Yeah. Shaka. Yeah. It's going to be recognized as the state gesture. Well, I thought that sounds like something we could get on board, so I've got the top six hand signals that might become regionally representative. Okay.

Based off the Hawaiian Chaka, number six on the list is the Black Power Clenched Fist. Wow. For Napier Hastings. Okay. Right. Okay. The national greeting. Yeah, the national greeting of the Napier Hastings. Okay. Right, okay. The national greeting.

Yeah, the national greeting of the Napier Hastings. Yeah. Taradar region. Flaxmere. That's your region, Carween. Do you like that? Do you like a bit of that? Huge gang.

Undeniable gang presence in the area. Yeah, it's familiar. Yeah, great. Also, love that you're wearing red today. Whoa. Yeah, represent. Big call. Big call. Big call.

Number five on the list of the top six hand signals that might become regionally representative in New Zealand are the middle finger for Auckland's motorway systems. Yeah, nice. Yeah, good. Just out the window. So nonchalant. Now, I was driving at a reasonable speed the other day.

Oh, slow. Here we go. But I was in the leftest lane possible. Oh, then you're allowed to be there. And the guy got up behind me and he was like doing that thing where he was tailgating.

I was like, well, there's other lanes he should be going around. And then when he went around, he just casually hung the finger out the window. It was such casual. Yeah, you're a terrible driver.

I'm not a terrible driver. He's a terrible driver. I'm just driving slow. He's lapsy doodle. He must be walking. That's my theory. You'd be quicker sometimes to walk home. The chimney does not have the speed.

I'll say it putters. It putters. It putters. It putters. Yeah. It putters along. Our number four on the list of the top six hand signals that could become regionally representative

Number two on the list of the top six hand signals that could become regionally representative in New Zealand. The middle finger is the single finger, but if you remember the two fingers version? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Two fingers for Nelson's age and population because that's still very offensive to the older people.

Yeah. And you've got to... If somebody gave me two fingers, I'd be like, not as offensive as one. Yeah, nah. But you've got to flick it. Yeah. Eh, eh, eh, eh.

Yeah. Imagine an old person doing it. They're really angry. And their fingers are arthritic, so they're kind of... Yeah, a couple of claws. Yeah, more claw-like fingers. And number one on the list of the top six hand signals that might become a regional representative

is thumbs up for Dunedin. Like, are you all right, mate? Yeah. Just giving a little... Thumbs up. Because it's so cold to open the thumb. It's cold to open the thumb, but it's also like a few too many brewskis.

You all right? Yep. I will be. Just a loose, not fully erect thumbs up. Yep. That's today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Cold this weekend.

Yeah. I woke up, it was really cold on Saturday. And I spent most of the day in the garage as well where there's no sunlight and no, it's cold. No heating. Yeah. Had a blanket draped across my legs. Okay. As I played the piano.

Like an old person in a retirement home. Literally like an old person in a retirement home. Literally like an old person in a retirement home. Or like my wife watching The Warriors. Oh. She perched up while it was Mother's Day. She's a small, cold child.

She sat up and really do the blanket. Oh. Are you not letting her turn on the air con? The heating. Well, he's doing his bit. No, well.

For the grid. She didn't have socks on. Oh, your wife's famous for this. Air con doesn't go on. Heating doesn't go on until there's socks on. Oh, God, she's your wife's famous for this. Aircon doesn't go on. Heating doesn't go on until there's socks on. Oh, God, no. Well, I was cold, and all I had was... I love her, but she's a

ridiculous woman. She's a parody of a woman. She's a ridiculous woman sometimes. I was so cold, and all I have was gym leggings. Not enough. I'm wearing some today. Thin. Yeah, those aren't... They're not thermal. They're not warm.

Not warm. And I thought, is today the day? I do it every single year. Okay. Is today the day that I make my annual trip to the warehouse

to buy the two for 30 track pant? And it was the day. And I turned up to the warehouse. I went to Westgate Warehouse. People were there in the droves. That's a hell of a warehouse. Oh, great warehouse. You been to this warehouse, Fletch?

Nah. She's a biggie. The specimens of humanity that you see at this warehouse. Oh, okay. There's everything. Every corner of humanity that you could imagine will walk through those automatic doors past Hollywood Bakery,

which is like in the warehouse. Yeah, it's in the warehouse. And that's where my cobbler is. People get hungry shopping, don't they? Is that your cobbler? That's my cobbler in the back of that warehouse. There's a cobbler in the warehouse.

He's hidden. He's hidden in this secret cobbler. It's like, you know, those speakeasies. Yeah. He's a speakeasy cobbler. I saw it because you come in, Hollywood Bakery's there. You go in and there's the cobbler to the right. And I was like, I was like, what a strange thing is key cutting and

shoe repairs. Inside the warehouse. Way down there. Okay. Interesting. See, for me, a man is either a key cutter or a cobbler. Yeah. I think you've got to pose a cobbler. My cobbler is a little fenty cobbler. All he I think you've got to pose a cobbler. My cobbler is a little authentic cobbler. All he does is cobble.

who's upskilled. No, my cobbler does keys as well. Oh, God. Get yourself a real cobbler. You probably get a deal on the machine when you're a cobbler.

I thought you meant they do the same. They do shoes and keys. Oh, no, no, no. No, guys. Get a real cobbler. My cobbler is a specialist. He's a shoe specialist. He doesn't dabble with keys. He doesn't mess with keys. He doesn't eff with keys. Oh, no, no, no. No, guys, get a real cobbler. My cobbler is a specialist, is a shoe specialist.

He doesn't dabble with keys. He doesn't mess with keys. He doesn't eff with keys. There is rumours that your cobbler has three cobbler elves on each other's shoulders under one sort of trench coat. He does look like Santa, my cobbler.

And that's what you want when it comes to a cobbler. Anyway, I wasn't there for cobbling. I was there to get the two track pants for $30 and I tell you what. Are they always two for $30? I think they used to be, like, maybe a little bit cheaper, but, oh, my God, they're just the best.

I got a pink pair. Wait, how are they the best? Wait, what brand are they? H&H. Hallie Hansen. No, just the warehouse brand. Whatever the warehouse brand is. H&H.

Yeah. Wait, so they're so good, you have to every winter buy them again? Yeah, I was going to say, should I have bought track pants for me when, shout out to Track Pants for me. When COVID broke out, still got them. Okay, well, one, I've sized up. Two, they turn into like painting and garden pants after a while. Right, okay.

You know, they get pilly and that's what's great about them is they're 15 bucks. You don't care. You wear your smet food on them and oh my God, it's so good. In the moment, I got them all toasty. Oh, yeah. Good stuff. And I was there, and it was like,

you know those videos of Black Friday sales, and everyone's like, I need the TV. Get off. We were like that at the track pants. You were like that for track pants? Everyone was getting the track pants. We know. It's like we flock.

It's a migration of sorts. And you just think it got cold enough that it triggered the bird's migration. It was really cold on Saturday. Beautiful weather. Oh, yeah. Like, I just couldn't believe it. Woke up, was like, oh, my God, the sky. But anyway, I got two pairs.

I got pink pair and a dark grey. I went dark grey. I didn't go for hot boy grey. I went dark grey. And I put them on and I haven't removed them. It's track pants season. I was loathed. It's track pants season. Men's are $12.

I'm just having a quick look here. Men's are $12 a pair. Women's are $18. And they do do a $25 pair. Those are cuffed. There's varying. You can get cuffed to make them more fashionable. It's not about fashion.

This is not about fashion. This is about being warm and comfortable. I got Aaron a pair. Tell you what. Long. Oh, you got to be careful. He's got long on the leg. You got to be careful with the track pants.

Oh, I know. Yeah, well, I got sized up. Sized up so he's got a bit more space. Yep. And a bit of wiggle room so that the ankles aren't too short. Yeah, right. You know what I mean? Because he's very limmy.

So he's wearing a, I just got him a black pair. Yep. Nice black pair. Classic. Standard. And I got wearing a, I just got him a black pair. Yep. Nice black pair. And I got me a grey. You're going to like grey. It's too rude. Too rude. It's too rude.

See the wanger. Because you know Aaron, like he'll just chuck on anything and tradies will come over and stuff. So I'm going black for safety. Yeah. For him. Yep. I had to. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Hayley. Hayley's Horny Book Club. So, welcome to Hayley's Horny Book Club. Now, if this is your first time, know my heart and mind. Welcome. It's a bit saucy in here. Do not be afraid. Do not be alarmed.

This is Hayley's Horny Book Club. We talk about the world of erotica. And we actually have a Facebook group if you want to join. It's a very rambunctious little group. You guys have no idea. Oh, you're in it, aren't you? No, I'm not in it. I snoozed it for 30 days.

He snoozed it for 30 days but he wasn't there commenting, being like, ladies, please, at the recommendations they were asking. It is insane.

This is like, would you say it's the biggest book genre of now? Yeah, for sure. It's like a huge movement that women are being open about what they're reading and or listening to. And as part of this, I shared an app, which is different to audiobooks. It's like audio erotica.

It's like mini little plays. And we actually talked to the creator of Quinn, which is the app that I'm a member of. And it was very fascinating. Now, Quinn has three currently original series. So you get like small little ones of content creators, but they have three original series, which is like a whole kind of little plays. Yeah.

And they've been voiced by celebrities. Thomas Doherty did one. He's a Scottish actor. Jesse Williams. That would have been nice. Aye. Thomas Doherty. It were. Yeah, Scottish.

Aye, it were lovely. Anyway, Jesse Williams, who used to be on Bloody Grey's Anatomy, you know, Big Bright Eyes. That's hot, hot, hot, hot. Do you remember he was doing that stage show and the pictures leaked? Because you know how you're not allowed to take photos?

And then everyone was like, holy moly. Well, Quinn was like, well, we'll capitalise on that and get Jesse Williams to voice an original series. I'm thinking of Jesse Metcar from Desperate Housewives. No, no, no, Jesse Williams. Look him up. Crystallised dark skin. I like Sam and I's voice too.

Seems unfair. Dark skin, bright eyes. He's know the guy. He's got a nice voice too. Seems unfair. Dark skin, bright eyes. He's a peaceful parent. I couldn't say Mary Doe. Thank God. Thank God. 2012 to 2020 to Aaron Drake Lee. Right.

Couldn't sit down. Yeah, wow. And Victoria Pedretti, who plays Love in Her, you know, the stalker series. Anyway, they've all done original series. Now, Quinn on their Facebook, which is on their Instagram, which is at TriQuinn,

posted some teasers of a new original series coming in May. And they said, wait, isn't May like a few days? And everyone was like, oh my God, yay, yay, yay, new series. And then they dropped all these little teasers. One's a little leather bow. Oops, must have dropped this.

New post, it's a map, like a medieval map, saying, yes, quite interesting, very interesting indeed. Then another post, their next tease, said the Queen's Guard, royally voiced by Smudged, coming soon. And everyone's like, oh my God, it's going to be a celebrity. We're getting all worked up and horny. We are so worked up and horny. And then just all these little teasers, right?

And then they drop this, which is a photo of a man, legs spread, holding the famous Quinn earphones. Yeah. Headphones. And they're like pink with a little Quinn smile on them saying, the reveal is almost here. Drop your guesses below the comments went crazy

the Queen's Guard a Quinn original premiering May 16th so that's this week everyone went crazy just in time for my nan's 90th birthday there you go

t-shirt the reveal is almost here. Drop your guesses. Then there's another one, the reveal is almost here. Drop your guesses. Back of his head. Jesus, just tell us for crying out loud. They're really, this is tantric. Then here's the one where they give it away, right?

Everyone's guessing and they've pretty much guessed it right. Then there's a video of this actor, back of the head, walking towards a king's throne and it says, dying of anticipation, don't worry, it'll pass. Fleabag reference.

Oh, right, okay. Then it says, like what you see, well, honey, you should see him in a crown. It's bloody, it's Andrew Scott. It's Andrew Scott from Fleabag.

Hot priest from Fleabag. Hot priest from Fleabag. He has done heaps of... He's like one of the biggest stars at the moment. I have a video of him answering some questions if you want to hear what his voice sounds like. Okay. You go on.

Oh, I'm Andrew Scott and this is my BAFTA 60 second challenge. Okay, right. I'm a goner. If you were stranded on a desert island, what film, TV box set or video game would you take with you? Oh, um

I just want to go to sleep till the 6th day Bye Claudius Fleabag made him hot Fleabag made him hot Wasn't he in the Wasn't he in Sherlock? He was a baddie in Sherlock He was Moriarty in Sherlock

And he's got arms He's got arms Yep Does he have arms? He's got two of them What was the movie he was in recently? With um What's his name from Normal People?

Yes. Paul Meskel. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Isn't he part of the whole Poets Society thing? Tortured artists, poets. Two of Us Strangers, that's the film. Yeah, Two of Us Strangers.

Anyway, so he's doing a quintoriginal series called The Queens, whatever. In three or, in New Zealand time, four days. He was, remember that old Matt Damon movie, The Talented Mr. Ripley? Yeah, he's redone it as a TV show and he is Ripley. And apparently that's really good too. Yeah.

That's a scoop for Quinn because he's on the absolute up and up. He'd be the biggest celebrity that's done that. And that's the thing, I think they're so well done, these little Quinn originals, and I'm really looking forward to this one. So you'll need,

what, a day off on Thursday? Yeah, when does my show open? Thursday, Friday, your comedy shows.

My show opens on Wednesday, that goes live on Thursday. Maybe my show on Thursday in Wellington, I'll just play it. It's what the show's about. The people just will all rather hear that. I don't know if. It's what the show's about. The people just want to hear that. I don't know if you're allowed to charge admission

and make money off somebody else's work. Well, give me Andrew's number and I'll send him his card. We're joined on the phone by the current director of the Otago Museum and a very smart man. I've been reading his Wikipedia page. That's where all smart people get their information from, Wikipedia. Insane. Ian Griffin, good morning.

Marina, how are you doing? Very well, thank you very much. Honoured to have you, Ian. Honoured to have the man on. 25 minor planets that you discovered. Why did you give up? Because it says like one here in um july 2001 and then were you just like that's enough for me leave some for the others oh well life moves on

you know once you've discovered a few minor planets you you want to do some different stuff with your life i'd like you same yeah same but now i'm much more interested in the auroras we see now and uh hopefully some of your audience got to see the amazing show on saturday night if my instagram was anything to go by i think everybody was out there taking your photos though a next level you obviously knew it was gonna happen but do you do time-lapse photography to get these pictures that you got well i mean i i've got um i probably shouldn't so my wife got quite a few cameras that I kind of take out to photograph this stuff. But Saturday night, we got wind that this thing was coming.

So I basically went for a two and a half hour drive away from Dunedin because the forecast wasn't great. So I went to a brilliant place called Lake Aviemore, which is up in the Waitaki Valley. And it was completely pitch black. There's a fantastic lake there to reflect the light. And it was just brilliant from sunset all the way through to sunrise. The sky was completely covered with these beaming auroras.

And I've never seen a show like it. It was just brilliant. And the colour, the entire sky went this kind of crimson colour at one point, which was just really eerie, but also very exciting. Because you say that, you know, you haven't seen anything quite like it before. But I was reading that after this week, we're probably unlikely to see something like this again in the near future. Well, this is certainly something,

this is something that, you know, the last time a storm was this good in New Zealand was probably back in 2003. So like once in 20 years. But what's happened, what caused the storm is there's a really big spot on the sun and it's 15 times the diameter of the earth and that spot is firing these

missiles at us which are bits of sun coming towards us and on Saturday night that material all collided with earth's magnetic field and made our atmosphere glow What do you mean? You're saying words Ian What do you mean?

What do you mean? Break're saying words, Ian. What do you mean? What do you mean? Break it down into layman's terms, so that bits of the sun are coming off. Yeah, that's right. The sun basically has a very powerful magnetic field and it gets knotted up. And sometimes the knots kind of get untwisted very quickly. And when that happens, the sun launches this material towards the Earth. And it travels at about 900 kilometres per second, which is really fast. And it takes about three days to cross the distance from the sun to the earth. And then when it gets to the earth, it basically interacts or it collides with our atmosphere and makes it glow. So when you see the aurora glowing in the sky, what you're seeing is bits of the sun making

our atmosphere glow. And that's an amazing thing to see. Oh, my gosh. So why was it pink? Because I've seen the northern lights, and they were green, maybe like tinges of pink. But what made it so pink? Well, one of the reasons it was so pink this time was it was a very, very active storm.

There was a huge amount of energy in the Earth's atmosphere, and that made um particular gases glow this kind of beautiful pink and red color but there were some greens as well i mean earlier in the night and later in the night there was this beautiful arch in the southern sky it was like um a big well it's a big green rainbow shape in the south and that kind of danced around for several hours and then the whole sky went green and then we saw a couple of times when the whole sky literally exploded into these lines crisscrossing the sky and that was just really exciting so certainly something to certainly something to treasure

and um it might happen again um we're heading towards a period when the sun is really active it happens every 11 years right and sometime in the next six months to a year, we might get to that peak. And that means we might see some more storms like this. Right. We can never guarantee it, but it's certainly worth, definitely worth, if you're interested in looking for it again, definitely keep your eye on the sky because you never know what you're going to see.

And it also worked that it was so clear over the whole country, right? I think there was zero cloud cover over something like 80% of the country. So beautiful in Auckland. Which is very rare for the land of the long white cloud. Yeah, that's right. And what was also amazing were there were people, you know, as far north as Auckland and further north of Auckland who actually saw it.

And that is just really rare as well because normally down here in the deep south, down in Otipoti Dunedin, we get to see auroras maybe sort of a couple, three, four times a month if we're lucky. Yeah. But to see an aur maybe sort of a couple, three, four times a month, if we're lucky. But to see an aurora in Auckland is actually pretty rare. You might see maybe one a year, one every couple of years.

But to see one that's visual is really rare. And I'd say people, my own daughter up in Auckland managed to go out and see it, and I had another daughter in Christchurch. So it was a show the whole country could enjoy, and that's the really amazing thing about this particular solar storm. It was really powerful and very visible across the whole country. What are the downsides? Wasn't there some talk that it might affect communications or the power grid? Yeah, that's absolutely right.

And what happens when these solar storms interact with the Earth is they hit out magnetic fields, and when that wobbles, it can disrupt power that wobbles it can disrupt power lines and it can also disrupt satellite communication and i noticed over the weekend that edelmos starlink system was not working at full capacity and trans power took the grid down a little bit to protect it just in case so while these storms can be very beautiful they do actually have an impact potentially on the Earth's environment. And we live now in a world where satellites are important

and power is important. So it's quite important that we understand what these solar storms are. And that's why some researchers at the University of Otago are working with Transpower to try and figure out how we can protect our grid if a really big storm were to happen. Wow, something else to worry about. So fascinating. So fascinating.

Is this like a real, like a career highlight for you? It was certainly, I tell you what, on Saturday night, I must confess to having a beer as the sky was in fire above me. It was just a brilliant, brilliant thing to see. And one of the nice things about it was, you know, a lot of auroras,

you can photograph them with a camera, you can just about see colour, but this one was so stonkingly bright. It was actually casting shadows. At one point, I was looking down at the ground and I saw my shadow. So the sky was so bright. And that, for me, you know, for someone like me, you know,

I love looking at the night sky anyway and we're very lucky in this country to have such a beautiful dark night sky. Outstanding, I know. But to see this light in the sky was just, you know, it wasn't quite a career highlight. It was certainly the best aurora I've seen ever. So it was pretty cool.

Well, your photos are amazing. So if you want to see Ian's photos, go to Portobello Pictures on Instagram because I'm just looking at it now. It makes me want to weep, Ian. So beautiful. Thank you so much for your time this morning. We really appreciate putting it into layman's terms

for three old dummies. No problem. Great speaking to you. Have a great morning. You too, Ian. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. This was all over TikTok this weekend.

Thomas Jefferson University. It was their graduation. Yeah. And the announcer calling the names had a bit of a tough time. Victoria Lee Zubith-Bross.

Jessica Lynn Bower. Alessandra Cole Bishop. Thomas. Thomas. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay, the last one's Thomas, but what are the other names? I don't think those were even words, were they? Go through them. Play it again. Victoria Lee Zubith-Bross. Stop. Victoria Elizabeth Bruce. What?

Victoria Lee Zubith-Bross. Elizabeth Bruce. What? Victoria Lee Zubith-Bross. Elizabeth Bruce. No. Okay, do the next one. Okay. Jessica Lynn Bower. Jessica. I thought it was going to be Jessica.

Jessica. I was like, that could be Jessica. Jessica. Jessica Lynn Bower. Alessuna Cole Bishop. That's Alison Bishop. Alison Nicole Bishop.

Nicole. Tom Mumei. Thomas. Thomas. How is Tom Mumei? I don't. Oh, that's horrible.

I know. So I think what's happened, and sometimes I've had things given to me like this. Someone's tried to be too helpful, and maybe there were names later on in the list that were more complicated than Elizabeth and Jessica. So someone's written it phonetically. So every name on this list that she's reading out has been...

Has a phonetic... Oh, no. Which means you break it down into sounds. Yeah. So that if you were saying a name that perhaps was, you know, didn't come easily to you, it's written phonetically. I feel like you've got to have the name and then in brackets a phonetic option.

Yeah, the option. The option. Always do this. Have you been got to have the name and then in brackets a phonetic option. Yeah, the option. The option. Have you been paying attention all the time? We had one person who would go through and on certain names would put it phonetically for me. And then head writer Brendan Green in the last couple of seasons used to put phonetics for things like Alison as a joke. And I would see it and go like, oh, and it does, it throws you.

Anyway, it's so funny. And everyone just like is hack, like hackling at this. I love it. So good. I want to know, like this, Thuh-ho-mo-sa, how wrong? Okay, no one is messing up the name Thomas. That's the first time I've ever heard the name Thomas being messed up. It just didn't sound any like it.

Well, other than saying, like, Thomas, if English wasn't your first language, maybe. I want to know how wrong people get your name. All right, but we've talked about this. People get your name all wrong all the time. All the time. But the other night when we got an Uber in Wellington that you ordered, I jumped in first, and he said to me,

Oh, Vahange. Vahange. I was like, that's new. Yeah. I was like, yeah, it is. How was your night? A busy night? It was always GE, isn't it?

Yeah, you get Vange. You've had Vaghan. Vaghan. Vahange sounds almost Middle Eastern and maybe the beard and the beanie. Maybe if you were an evil, like, Vauhange. Vauhange. That would be good.

Yeah, like an evil ruler. No, would be good. Like an evil ruler. I think it's just Welsh. Yeah. Crazy Welsh spelling. Well, why ever maybe you've got odd spelling or people just cannot seem to get it right. How wrong do people get your name? We want to know how badly people stuff up your name

because this poor woman was given the phonetic spelling for all the graduates at a university and couldn't figure out a basic name. Victoria Lee Zubith-Brus. Elizabeth Bruce. She did follow up with an explanation. Yes, she did.

And my apologies for the phonetic spelling or pronunciation of the names that was on the cards. I would have been better just reading from the book. My apologies. Oh, darling. She got done dirty

by someone. She did. So we wanted to know like how badly someone stuffed up your name. I get a lot of sprawl, sprawl, sprouts. Yeah, you do.

Yeah. Some messages in. My name is Spiro. Pronounced with a rolling R, like Spiro. Spiro. Now, I don't mind being compared to Spiro the dragon, because it's spout the same as Spiro. But I've been called Sparrow,

which is a cute little nickname. Yeah, that's a cute nickname. And even worse, once I got called Subaru. Because somebody just heard them say my name Spiro, and then thought it was Subaru. So never saw it written down, but called me Subaru. Because somebody just heard them say my name, Spiro, and then thought it was Subaru. So never saw it written down, but called me Subaru. Oh, at the chemist, a script for Timothy Humpies, not Humphreys.

Humpies. So Timothy, Timothy Humphreys was Timothy. Timothy. Oh, please tell me they yelled out the name. I love it. Mr. Humpies. My name is Juan. Silent J sounds like an H.

Juan. Oh, Juan. People always say Juan. Where did they get the Q from? Yeah, the Juan makes a lot more sense than you do. Shannon, people get your name wrong all the time. Yeah, it is. Is it the spelling or do they just call you something completely

different? Spell S-H-A-N-Y-N but it's Shannon. But I get Shan, Shanae, Shane. The worst one's always Sharon for me because it honestly, I'm thinking of like a 50-year-old lady holding a Cody's.

Who did you the dirty of changing the traditional spelling? Oh, it was my mum. Yeah, yeah. It was my dad. She wanted it unique. She wanted a unique Shannon, didn't she? Yeah, she just didn't want it spelled the way my dad wanted it. A little bit of a fight, yeah, yeah.

Great time to argue with your partner when you're naming your children. Renee, your children have tricky names. Oh, they do, yes. But you're to blame for this. You did this. I hope you didn't get a Mother's Day present. So what are your kids' names? Jacoby, Jane and Dejan.

You've got a lot of Js in there. I didn't even know how I would spell any of those. Jar, Kobe. I just call him Kobe. Yeah. What's the second one? Jarne. Jarne.

Or Jarne. Yes, Jarne. We're going to hit the Jar. And what's the last one? Dijon mustard. Dijonais. Dijonese. Dijonese. Holland days.

I'm confused. Is it a sauce? Or a child? Dijon. Dijon. Dijon. Dijon. Okay.

Far out. That's complicated. You know they're going to go by nicknames their whole life. Have they all got X's in their names? What do you mean? Well, how do you spell these things? So the first one is Z-H-A-R-K-O-B-I. Z-H-A-R...

Sounds like an old radio call signal. Yeah, join us. We've got the hottest music on Z-H-A-K-R. Great in Scrabble, though. That'd be a lot of points in Scrabble. Can't use names for pronouns. Z-H-A-R-K-O Spelling people's names

and Scrabble. I don't know Scrabble. I don't know Scrabble. The one rule, Scrabble. I think you've made up that spelling. Oh no, I found a Jacoby. That's probably my son.

Jac. We just get called Jac, right? Yeah, it's his criminal record. Is he... Oh yeah, I think I found he's 23 my son. Jark. We just get called Jark, right? Yeah, it's his criminal record. Is he... Oh, yeah, I think I found him 23 years old. Yeah, that is my son. I found Jarkobi. It's that unique.

It's that unique. He's literally the only Jarkobi I could find. Wow. Renee, thank you. Your name's just Renee. No offence. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. I get called Rini, Rini.

Rini. Really? Rani. I, no, no. I get called Rene, Rene. Rene. Really? Rene. I'm like, what the hell? Rani. It's not even spelt. To be honest, if you met a woman and it was written down and it said Renee, but her kid's name was Jacoby, you wouldn't imagine it would be Renee, would you?

You imagine she's going to have a slightly different take on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Renee, thank you. Keep your texts coming in 9696. I wonder how mum feels about all these tattoos Jacoby has. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. Well, we did a whole show from Wellington on Friday,

and we shared some of the antics of our Wellington trip, and then we made our way back to Auckland and thought the antics were over. And we did joke about the fact that heading down there I hadn't checked in and so I had to pass off my bag to Vaughan to put through security

while I ran and checked in. And I made it back in time to check through my own bag and no problems. Yeah, but Vaughan, you were very worried because Hayley had said... I travel with a friend. Despite going away for just one night. You said, why not go manual?

We're only away for one night. And she said, I'm a woman who lives in the future. I am the will I am of self-pleasure. Yes, I am. So you packed an adult fun toy. Because I was in a hotel room. It's rude not to. Okay. It's rude not to. Okay.

It's rude not to. Anyway, so Friday we leave radio. We hop in an Uber. We get to the airport and we go through Wellington Airport Security. And I love the domestic security there because it's got those fancy trays in the screening. And the big trays. Like Christchurch has. Big trays.

Auckland's got small trays. Yeah, tiny trays. Tiny trays. A4 piece of big trays. Like Christchurch has. Big trays. Auckland's got small trays. Yeah, tiny trays. Tiny trays. A4 piece of paper trays. Yes, and they're like, put your giant bag in this. It's not, it's A3 at least. No, it's A4.

No, it's not A3. That's it. Book me the cheapest domestic flight and I need two pieces of paper. Get in your car and get to the airport now. They're tiny trays. Tiny trays. Stupidly tiny trays.

Wellington's got international size trays. And you know, seven lanes but they're only open two. Exactly. So I get in there, I put my jacket, my handbag, my laptop in one and I have to put my big... All in one tray. Yeah. Wow.

Big trays. Because it's got big trays. Big trays. In Auckland that'd be three trays. And the new scanning equipment. The new scanning equipment. Yeah. Are we saying Wellington's better than Auckland? I think we might be saying that. Because it's got big trays. Big trays. In Auckland, that'd be three trays. And the new scanning equipment. The new scanning equipment. Yeah. Are we saying Wellington's better than Auckland? I think we might be saying that. Auckland International's got that. Yeah, they do.

It's good stuff. You don't even need to get your laptop out anymore. You just chuck it in. I know, that's nice. And it scans through. Anyway, and I put my wheelie overhead suitcase in another tray. And in it goes. And I'm going through first. I'm ahead of everyone. Shoes are off. I'm in my goes and I'm going through first. I'm ahead of everyone. Shoes are off.

I'm in my socks. I'm vulnerable. You always feel vulnerable in your socks, don't you? We talk about our vulnerability of standing there. You've taken off your jacket. You're standing there in your socks. Your belts. Your belts on the tray so your pants can fall down at any minute. It's weird because you're in a public space but you're

in your socks. Yeah, what am I doing here in public with strangers in my socks? And not my home. And my bag goes through the little flaps, out it comes, and then it stops at that moment where it's either going to go forward or be to the side.

Shunted to the side down the must-be-checked aisle. Yeah. All the bags stop there, and it's always nerve-wracking. You're like, God, am I going to, it's just going to waste. it's always nerve wracking. You're like, God, am I going to, it's just going to waste.

And it kind of carries on. You're like, oh, phew, phew. Now, ahead of your bag, a gentleman had some scissors that were seven centimetres long.

Now that, saw that. Oh, naughty. We're talking full size scissors, not for your nails. Quite literally won't fly. Yeah.

So the man confiscates the scissors and says, next time you need a little pair of luggage scissors, get yourself some that are six centimetres long. Now, on your way

good sir. They weren't mum's good sewing scissors were they? No, no, no. They were like they look nice. Nice scissors. They look great.

I'd be disappointed to see them go. Okay. Then next up was the brown bag of filth. So I was like it's happening. Yeah.

It's the adult fun toy. I began discreetly filming because I don't believe you were allowed to film in that area. No, neither. And because I was like, it's happening. It's the adult fun toy. I began discreetly filming because I don't believe you're allowed to film in that area. No, neither. And because I was. On the opposite side. Yeah, I was ready to zoom in on the x-ray screen. Yeah. So it goes, it gets shunted.

Yeah. And on my side of the security is two men running the checks. And I thought, oh, we're going to need to get a woman. Also, if he's going to look through there, I was like, I've just raw dogged everything in. So there's undies from the day before. I was like, we don't need any of that. And there is my friend, my little friend.

Your adult fun toy. Anyway, so he's going in there and I can see the filming's happening. You guys are there. There's laughing. There's laughing. And I have a look across my face of like well

open her up you know sexual terrorism is the look that's yes the emotion that's plastered across her face anyway so this fella

he grabs my suitcase and he does that thing and he's got his own screen bringing up the screen and he just looks like this and he goes no no you're good to go and I was like

and I was disappointed because I was filming because I was filming and I was expecting to see quite a long, large standout. She's a petite girl and she's travelling. I'm petite. She's petite. Was this a satisfying... I'm picking my travellers.

Was this a satisfying... Of sorts, yeah. Because I could see like a little bulb-y kind of... I could see on the X-ray, but it was very hard to see. I could see kind of a bulb thing, and he was kind of zooming in on it and zoomed out and pressed another. I'll show you a photo of what it is. A couple of buttons.

And then there was like a, oh, no, you're right, like a, his eyes were like, oh, I've seen something, but I'm going to play it cool. You don't need to embarrass anybody. I am a professional. He's dealt with this before. I've been blocked to show you. Multiple times before. We can't search on the work computer.

It's like the SP2, but it's got a little top. Right. Because that's what I could see, like a little, oh, yeah, right. Oh, okay. On and in. Yeah, okay, right. Anyway, so we're leaving and we're laughing, right? And we're like, ha, ha, ha.

She got away with it. I was like, he definitely saw it. I was like, I saw it in his eyes. He saw it. And you were like, I don't know if he saw it. And it's in there with everything else. And we're walking. And then I hear, excuse me, sir.

Excuse me. And I like turn around. I'm like, yes. And he's like, I just wanted to let you know. Oh, I saw it all right. He had probably run about 30 metres to catch up with us. He'd left his post. We were on our way for eggs.

And I immediately burst out laughing. He's like, but we've got a thing. We don't make a big deal out of it. We don't want to embarrass anyone. Oh yeah, they dealt with it well. And they don't want to touch it either. And he's like, but yeah, I saw it. I saw it. Like that. And then retreated to his post and it just

absolutely made my day oh it absolutely tickled us we were howling up the lift yeah it did it made me laugh yeah

so the things they must see I know when your bag goes through when you have one of these in there and your bag goes through and you think

oh my god got away with it they saw it they saw it 100% they saw it and no shame, you know. But you've got to take them, carry on,

because they've got lithium batteries in them, don't they? Yeah. The rechargeable sorts of batteries. They would see them. Don't put them in your suitcase. They would TSA open your suitcase and dispose of it. Why does it show up? Because it's like, you can have a battery pack in your suitcase and it's fine. It never shows up. I don't know.

It might not have ever been that that triggered the sideways taking it off the main carousel. The undies had such a pungent they thought you were smuggling animals. You got some dried fruit in here. The beagle wasn't even at work yet. It called him and it was like,

something's amiss there, my dude. Get that off the main carousel. 25 State. Next on the show, there was last week in San Francisco a tech conference. Sounds riveting. The future of, well, not really, but the future of dating was discussed. Oh. And there was one thing that stood out that we have to talk about next because.

The future is here. The future is now. It's not good. Last week in San Francisco, there was a tech conference. It was the Bloomberg Tech Summit. Doesn't sound exciting. No. There was one moment, though, that has gone...

Do you know what I only just learnt not so long ago? What's that? Silicon Valley is just out of San Francisco. Yeah. Where did you think it was? I assumed somewhere in the desert. What? Like an evil lair or something where they all come up with something. You know how Las Vegas just

kind of popped up out of the desert? I thought Silicon Valley was in a desert. I don't know why. Yeah, it's in California. Out of the desert. Oh, right. I thought Silicon Valley was in a desert. I don't know why. Yeah, it's in California. It's California. Out of San Fran. Yeah. Well, I mean, that would have been why this tech conference

was in San Francisco. Yeah. So one thing that Bumble founder Whitney Wolf heard said. Now, she is still on the board of Bumble because she sold it, right? Yeah, she did sell it. And made heaps of money. Why wouldn't you? She is still on the board of Bumble because she sold it right and made heaps of money but she's still on the board and she was talking about what Bumble wants to do

in the future and what they're working on and this clip came out on Friday New Zealand time I think it last view had 10 million views on X which went viral over the weekend because people are like this is an episode of Black Mirror so in the future,

we will have a dating concierge, like a dating, an AI version of ourselves that will go and go on AI dates with other people's AI concierges to narrow down some people for

you to pick from. So wait, this AI version is dating on your behalf, sifting through the shite. Another AI version. Yes. Sifting through. So we wouldn't be eligible to date until my AI had dated your AI

and it was like, that went okay. Decent enough. The AI would have to, at some stage, kind of suck everything it knows about. Hang on. On what date are we doing that? Okay, it would withdraw all of your data or you know, it'd have to learn about you, right?

Yes. And then go on dates with other people's AI which have also learnt about them. But how much of their, how are they going to get my quirky sense of humour? Well, it would learn your quirky sense of humour. What about my whimsical, my sort of, It would learn your whimsical,

My little gestures and whatnot. My moves that I pull. Don't do that again. I just got a face. Don't do the face again. AI will be like, remember the face? She did that twice in five seconds. It must be her favourite face.

And then your AI date's always going to be like this. What about my whimsical ways? Am I charming you with my whimsical ways? This sounds horrible. Yeah. And that's what we're doing. Mind you, dating sounds horrible to me. Yeah.

And that's what a lot of people have been like, this is like an episode of Black Mirror. It sounds horrible. But then some people are like, you know what? I'm lonely. I'm isolated. Like, if it helps and I can get a date out of it, then... Yeah, and I suppose if you're someone who is, like,

really on the lookout for someone and you go on, like, 20 dates a week and they're all crap, you would want a robot to sift through the rubbish. She said there is a world where your dating concierge, the AI version of yourself, could go and date other people, 600 people, and you wouldn't have to talk to 600 people. Do they have to look like us? I don't know.

Can we make them slimmer? Can we do a bit of a... You know when you're like... Can we make them hotter? Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you make a sim, you're like, oh my God, they're just like me, and you're like... But that's just AI catfishing, isn't it?

Yeah, it is. Or maybe it won't let you. Maybe it like does a scan. You know those like body scan things you gotta hold on. I'm not getting on those things. You gotta hold your phone out and it scans you. Maybe it like does a scan, you know, those like body scan things you've got to hold on. I'm not getting on those. You've got to hold your phone out and it scans you. Like show us. Show us what you really look like.

I sort of get the idea of it. But it's just an algorithm of sorts, isn't it? Yeah. It's the next level algorithm. I mean, I guess if you tell. If TikTok can tell me what I'm going to like to watch the next video of. Exactly. It's just like that, but for dating.

Well, they're working on it, so... Well, good luck. The future is near. The future is near. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Firstly, I'd like to apologise for my very erect nipples. They are. They're looking right at me.

I walked out of the studio, the bathroom, and the foyer of the building, freezing cold. Really? It's very cold out there, Vaughn. It's very cold out there. Goodness. And I immediately responded to the cold with the erection of the nipple. I didn't know.

He won't stop playing with them. I hadn't noticed, and now I can't stop looking. Jesus. Well, don't keep rubbing them. No, I'm going to push them down with one finger. No, that's only,

they'll only respond. No, I'm not moving it around. I'm not doing anything other than warming them. It keeps your T-shirt a bit looser. Yeah, hunch your shoulders. Now I can't see your lips. My hunched shoulders and my slightly compressed throat

hide my nipples. Is this how you like me, Fitz? Yes, it is. Hunched over, no nipples. Oh, stop it. It's awful. This week's Back to the Day theme is things named after the people that invented them.

Today we're stopping by Doc Martens. Oh. Mr. Dr. Martin. Are they named? Was he even a doctor? He was a doctor What a foot doctor Or a GP Klaus Martens Field doctor in the German army

Are you telling me they're German? Oh no Do I have to stop wearing all my dog marches And your Hugo Boss And my Hugo Boss Let's say the Adidas The Dazzler brothers Rudolph Dazzler and Adidasler

They made boots for the Nazis That's Adidas and Puma Puma was Rudolph Dazzler What cars are we getting rid of All of them BMWs? BMW, that's the one I think. Was that the one that they tested on the roads of the Volkswagen?

The Volkswagen family back. Say what you will, lovely uniform, you know? Snappy. Fashion alone, it's a lovely uniform. I don't want to wear one. Also, it's not spelt how he spelt Martins. Doc Martins, M-A-R how he spelt Martins. Okay. Not Martins. M-A-R-T-E-N-S.

He was Klaus Martins, so it was M-A-E-R-T-E-N-S. Oh, right. Oh. It was during World War II that Klaus discovered that he injured his ankle and found that the standard issue army boots were too uncomfortable on his injured foot. Right. So he made the world's most uncomfortable shoe

that takes six months to break in. Yeah, I was going to say, he made the world's hardest to break in boots made of stiff, stiff leather. He designed improvements. He used a softer leather. God, must be original leather. God.

Yeah. My first pair of Doc Martens, I cried in pack and save. I have canvas Doc Martens and they're the best. I've got the softer leather now on a couple of mine. I don't have any Doc Martens. Don't you? I had some. They're your brown ones.

What? You had brown ones. I did have brown Doc Martens. Yes, we did. I had the black slide-on ones. No, you had the brown Doc Marten boots. I know this because I have the same. I had the Turbulent boots. No, you had the brown Doc Martens. Tell him he had the brown slide on once. No, you had the Brown Dog Martin boots. I know this because I have the same. I had the Turbulent boots.

No, you had the Brown Dog Martin. Tell him he had the Brown Dog Martin. I don't remember having the Brown Dog Martin. You did. He did. You had the Brown Dog Martin. I didn't. No, I didn't.

Because I wore them one day. I've never had the Brown Dog Martin and I will never be talking to ladies. Sorry, sir. Backtalk. So he used a soft leather and an air padded sole made of old tyres. Huh. Cut out truck tyres. Okay.

Into the shape of the sole and sewed them on so that they were air cushioned. Now, when that war ended and apparently there was a lot of looting going on, he got himself some leather. He says he got it the legit way, but there's thoughts that he might have stolen his first leather to get this started. Okay. You've got to make the most out of a bad situation, you know?

He caught up with an old university friend, Howard Funk in Munich. Munich? Is that why I don't know his name? Munich. I was so worried about saying, I was so worried about saying F-U-N-C-K, Fonk wrong. Oh, yeah.

That I took the Ong through to Monik. Monik. Monik. They went into business and just bought a whole lot of disregarded rubber from old tires and stuff, shaped them into molds and cut them out and put them on the bottom. Massive hit with housewives. Oh yeah. And 80%

of the sales in the first decade of Doc Martens were to women over 40. Huh. And then of course they've just been around. They entered the British punk market when they were sold to a British manufacturer and a British boot company. So a lot of people do believe

they are a British boot, but they're not. Yeah, because I always thought they were British. Nope. Yes, same. Oh, wow. Okay. And they really have their moments, don't they?

Like I feel like back in, there's been a resurgence of late. Yeah, and they were like super gothy. That's how I got into them and then became way more mainstream. What was the 10 high? Yeah, the 10 ups. The 10 ups. 10 ups is what they were called. Yeah, 8 ups is your kind of standard. But 10 was for. And was the 10 high? Yeah, the 10 ups. The 10 ups. 10 ups is what they were called. Yeah, 8 ups is your kind of standard.

But 10 was for... And I had 10 ups because I was punky. You had to tell everybody that you had 10 ups. The normies wear the 8 ups. So today's fact of the day, and the first of the things named after their inventor week, is that Doc Martin boots, albeit now, an absolute boot

choice of lesbians and a well-known brand that's in the middle of Camden Town in London, full-blind, like we love everybody. It's got the rainbow flag and it's got the triangle bit in the corner. Everybody's welcome here at Doc Martin. Actually had its origins

in Nazi Germany. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley keeping it wacky this Monday morning. Now, here is a study about how long people ignore the engine check light. Now, Shannon, you had your engine light on for quite some time and then you got a fix and then it's back. I got a, please turn it off, then you've got to fix and then it's back. I've got to

please turn it off. I don't want to fix it. And then it came back the next morning. Because you can just turn the light off. Yeah. Without fixing the engine. And that made me feel good for a day. You have to get an auto electrician in there to cut the wire to the light. I don't know if that's a thing. I don't think you'll find many

qualified auto electricians that would be happy to do that. I'll do it for a box of beers. But no, I would say I left mine on. That light was about three weeks, but I had my airbag one on for about a year and a half. Yes, I had my airbag one on my last car. And it did turn out it was a light problem, not actually an airbag problem.

The airbags were fine. Mine came on over the weekend. Your engine light. It's not the engine light, but it's flashing, and it's a bolt spanner. Right. So you've got a spanner somewhere. So there's a spanner in my car.

I've got to find it and get it out. That's what I've got to get done. Okay. Anyway. Oh, screen's behind me going crazy. The Mazda just, I thought they kept going. The Mazda just came on. I know.

I know. And I literally just got it fixed. But I got in the car this morning and it's off again. So I think it's just having a little bit of a period. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Anyway. So according to this study, this is in America, but like the majority of respondees to this

study leave it for 18 months, a year and a half that your engine may need checking. What? No, that's not good. It's on for a reason. Also, you're going to need a warrant of fitness at some stage. Does that, do you not get one if the engine lights on? No, I just thought while it's in there. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but you don't.

Like, you don't, unless there's a major problem that you need to get your WAF done. I mean, who can afford, no one can afford this. That's the thing. Engine light means money, honey. It means a lot of money. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not an oil change.

No. Do you know what I mean? We're talking money. Anyway, so people are just basically ignoring it. And I want to know, it doesn't have to be car related. You will fail. If the engine management line is on, this is in New Zealand.

If the engine, can you pass a warrant of fitness with the engine light on? The engine must be safe to be operated. Therefore, if the engine management light is on or the vehicle is not fit for purpose, then it will fail its warrant of fitness. Aye, aye, aye. Whoa. Okay, put a bit of black, a black sticker over it. But then somebody on Reddit says it's not a fail because I've been getting,

mine's been on for the last five years. But you could just do what I did because I used to get mine done and I would take it even if I went to a new mechanic and I'd say, oh the airbag light's on but it's a light problem, not a thing. Right. As if like I've already had this looked at and they're like, oh okay sweet. Yeah. Anyway, I want to know, let's just be

out in the open here, what are you ignoring in life at the moment? You're just ignoring it, you're just turning a blind eye to that. Maybe you've got a pile. Like a pile of rubbish. Maybe there's a pile in the room. Maybe you've got a wardrobe chair and it's become a mountain and you're just like, not today.

And you just look away from it. Like maybe it's an engine light or maybe it's something else. Maybe it's a mole. You're just ignoring it. Don't ignore a mole. Never ignore a mole. Especially if it's itchy or it's changing shape. Maybe it burns when you pee and you just ignoring it. Don't ignore a mole. Never ignore a mole. Never ignore a mole. Especially if it's itchy or it's changing shape or size.

Maybe it burns when you pee and you're like, can't deal with that at the moment. That needs to be dealt with also. Be it big or small, I think we should just get it off our chest. What are we ignoring

in life at the moment? For me, it's everything that isn't my show that opens on Wednesday. Yeah, because you're trying to get that ready.

Hey, are we able to? Nope. When can we do that? After my show. I'm ignoring everything. Maybe you got something in the mail like a fine or maybe you got, you know when you get an

envelope in the mail and it's got a window and you shove it to the side and you see a red square and you're like, oh, I won't open that one. And just ignore that for a little bit longer. I see a big red square. Red square's not a good square. That's a bad square. Okay, 0800DARLSATM. We want to take your calls now.

Text through 9696. Judgment free as always. What are you ignoring in life at the moment? What are you ignoring in life at the moment? That's what we want to know. Turns out a recent study, people are ignoring the engine light for way longer than I would have thought.

18 months is the average in America. Now, Rebecca, is your engine light on, darling? Yeah, it's been on for about seven years. Whoa! Rebecca! Okay, so it's a scam, right? Not that bad. It's a scam from big automotive, right?

Or big mechanics to get you in. Well, does your car feel like it runs well? Yeah, it runs fine. And I've had it checked, and it's just an emissions pipe. Just an emissions pipe. What's that? The exhaust bit that comes out the back. I don't know.

But I've been told about $350 to get a new pipe. So what's the point if the car still runs fine? Because eventually it will explode. Yeah, wow. If she's seven years down the track, that's, yeah, it hasn't exploded yet. Cars explode at that age without the engine light on. Yeah.

Rebecca, thank you. Megan, what have you been ignoring in life? My fine from being pulled over. No, no, it's just going to get bigger. It's just going to get bigger. Yeah, you can't ignore this because it only gets bigger. I know. It's just gonna get bigger It's just gonna get bigger Yeah you can't ignore this Because it only gets bigger I know

It's not too overdue It was due on the 6th of May So I mean We're only the 13th today Oh yeah But if you don't They're gonna add more Megan They're gonna add more

I can get us Some financial strength here Megan Fletch will take care Of that ticket for you Oh thank you Why would I take care Of that ticket You seem a little

Too comfortable You're not having Mental breakdowns Have you got a pen and paper Because I've got his Amex Saved on my phone still From a purchase I'll take care of that ticket. You seem a little too comfortable. Have you got a pen and paper? Because I've got his Amex saved on my phone still from a purchase. You better not have my Amex saved on your phone. No, I deleted it. Right, okay. I deleted it, Megan. Megan, you know, get that paid because they can double them.

Is there some sort of payoff system for fines? Yeah, you can. Honestly, if it's a financial strain, you can, like, get in touch with them. Just ignore it. Just ignore it. If it's on the fridge, it doesn't make sense. Cameron, what are you ignoring

in life at the moment? Well, at the moment, trying not to hit a house with a digger, but... Oh, don't do that. Oh, my God. Are you talking on the phone and driving a digger?

Yeah, of course. What kind of digger? Do you have a horn? Um... Uh... Diggers never have, like, real masculine horns. No, they don't. You've just got to fit the little electric ones in the digger somewhere.

Yeah. What kind of digger are you driving? It's a Yanmar 5.5. Yanmar. What's a 5.5? This is not the chat, guys. Like a 5.5, 2.5 tonne. This is not the chat.

This is not the chat. Yes, Cameron does sound hot. It's beside the point. The big picture is what I'm ignoring is telling my mother that we're buying a house. Oh, and that what, you'd have to move out? Yes. But won't she be happy about this, Cameron? No, she's a bit too much.

Oh, she'll be really gutted you're moving out. Don't want her baby. Don't want her baby to leave. You've got past Mother's Day. I reckon give it till the end of the week and then that's enough of a buffer to tell her. Well, the missus ain't home, so I'm waiting for her to get home, so we're both in the shit. So you live with your partner at your mum's?

Yes. Well, that's why he's moving out now. He's been saving. Yeah, yeah, I get that, but I just thought the mum would have been like. Is it free rent? $300 a fortnight each, so not bad. Oh, that's not bad at all. Those are old school rents.

Don't you wash your jocks? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, this sounds like a good deal. Why are you moving out? You can't put a price on mum doing your laundry, man. It's time for Cameron to become a man, okay? He is a man. He's driving a bloody five and a half ton Yanmar.

A Yanmar. Whip it off like a band-aid. Yeah. Cameron, thank you. Keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 DALS at M. Yeah. Cameron, thank you. Keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 DALS at M. What big life problems are you just putting off? Or small things?

Just ignoring. Like the engine light being on and just ignoring it. Yep. Someone just messaged in. No wonder he's still living with his mum. He's only driving a five and a half ton. What a baby. Oh!

Big dig of me. Big dig of me. How are you? What are you ignoring in life at the moment? One person says, rates, two tickets for driving in the bus lane, cutting my lawn, emptying the dishwasher, and doing my taxes. Oh, you've got to pay your rates, one person. That's a lot, man. Taxes.

Yeah, get them done. Somebody else said, I'm ignoring my husband. He is the C word. And then we've heard from somebody else saying, currently ignoring the missus, who is a complete bitch at the weekend. I'm wondering if that's the same couple. It could be. That's right.

I'm 44 and I have a baby tooth that needs pulling out. I reckon if you've got a 44 and it's a baby tooth, that's fine. You could do it. That's not a baby tooth. That's a tooth that's stepped up. But again, that's going to the dentist, right? That's expensive. That said, I was for milk, That's a tooth that stepped up. But again, that's going to the dentist, right? That's expensive. I was for milk, but I am willing

to step up. Yeah. The implant's $7,000. So they're putting it off because of the huge... Could you get that done in Bali for cheaper? Oh, def. Yeah. Now, someone said ignoring two $150 fines they got for driving up a bus lane en route

to Fletchford and Hayley Live. The show cost me a solid $400. Well, that's not our fault you chose to driving up a bus lane en route to Fletchford and Hayley Live. The show cost me a solid $400. Well, that's not our fault you chose to drive in a bus lane. I think Fletch is MX. I've got the MX. I'll just post the MX too. Wait, were they from outside of Auckland? Because people don't know that the bus lanes,

every bus lane has a camera on it. That's not even an exaggeration. Every bus lane in Auckland is camera'd up the wazoo and I think Queen Street is just a bus lane yeah pretty much the whole thing is just a bus lane

my headlight's been out for a month still waiting for the night I pass a cop and get a ticket maybe when I was a kid you always saw a bung eyed car when you're driving at night

every car had one light at but a motorcycle oh no car it's a car not as much these days yeah it's less less often Every car had one like that. But a motorcycle. Oh, no. Car. It's a car. Not as much these days. Yeah. It's less often.

Now, someone has said that they got a reminder, cervical smear reminder. No, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, don't ignore that. Don't slip on that one. Don't ignore that. I'm ignoring my ever-climbing road user charges. I'm currently $3,000 just to bring it back up to where I should be.

Oh, it's hard. Yeah. You get behind. I've got a cracked molar. It hurts so good, but also to where I should be. Oh, it's hard. Yeah. You get behind. I've got a cracked molar. It hurts so good, but also have no intention of getting it fixed. That's expensive. Now, someone says they're avoiding childhood trauma. I reckon face it.

I reckon get in the room and face that. Wait till it becomes a real problem. Somebody ignoring a pregnancy test, too. Yeah, don't ignore that. Ignoring doing the pregnancy test. Ignoring doing it, yeah. Ignoring breaking up with my boyfriend. We both know it's over.

It's just convenient living together. Life's too short. Rent's half price, isn't it? We can still live together. But you can take a laugher. I'm a teacher ignoring report writing. Well, Miss Porter, all you've got to do is go into AI. I have done some great things lately with AI.

You don't need to do it. The days of writing and having to think, long gone. Hey, a little bit of advice for our bus laner. I drove in a bus lane in Auckland, just emailed them, told them I'm from a small country town and they wrote it off. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know my lefties from my rats. What is a bus?

Great work, guys. 10 out of 10 if I say so myself. I do a 9.6. Is that enough for you to review this podcast with a high rating and then tell all your friends? You sound very insincere. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
