The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with MyMackers Rewards. Play ZM's Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Two minutes past six. Hello, good morning. Hello, no.

You're coming through Zoom. Oh, okay. Well, I don You're coming through Zoom. Oh, okay. Well, I don't know what I'm doing. Someone put me in front of a desk and I don't know what's happening. Help, help. Technical difficulties, we'll get those sorted out. Yes. You need to turn your speakers off.

You know, remember when we talk to people and they're in their car and they've got their car radio on and we get that slight delayed feedback? No, I've got my speakers off. The speakers are off. Yeah, I don't know. God only knows then. Well, look, this is... We're in the Lord's hands now.

Amen. Take the wheel, Jesus. On the show today, our $25,000 cash catch-up returns at 8 o'clock. Gave away a lot of cash yesterday and we're going to keep going until we give away this $25,000.

It's super easy. Make sure you're listening at 8 to play and then again at midday and 4. Also, thanks to Flight Centre a chance to win today another Captain's Pack. Gave away $1,000 of Flight Centre gift cards yesterday. And the day before. And the day before.

So different amounts each day. So we'll do that around 8.30 this morning. The top six on the way. Yeah, I don't know if you've seen this footage, but an orangutan absolutely yeeted a possum out of its enclosure at an Australian zoo. Picked it up and was just like, hoof. And it's like a superhero throw. It looks animated.

This possum's just like, wee! Like one of those American football players that just hits the ball. Quarterback sit straight to the running back. Touchdown, baby. Like it went over the zoo wall, didn't it? Or did it just go into another enclosure? Well, they haven't found the possum, but they said it's unlikely it could have survived. But then I heard somebody else saying possums are very resilient when it comes to falls.

Because if they fall out of a tree, you know, they've got to be able to grab. So wild. And they have survived. Wild video. But I've got the top six people that will have seen that and will be hiring orangutans for evictions. They don't mess around.

No. They'd rip your arms off too. Send in the orangutans. Next on the show, we're going to start the show with a big debate that's happening online. Yeah. I've got some very firm opinions on this as well.

How do you store your big block of cheese? I mean, you've just probably dropped 15 bucks on a block of cheese. Yeah. You need to store it so that you get the most out of that cheese. Well, a mama has come in with quite a controversial opinion. Just kick things off and we'll get into that next. Well, a woman from Arizona has sparked a debate fierce debate over how to store your big block

of cheese In a plastic container Wait you've got a container? That's a hot play actually You can get like Sistema containers or little like Tupperware Yeah because otherwise they go crusty on the edges And you can pop it in there and keep it sealed

But it's a special cheese container. No, just like whatever systema the thing fits in. No, not a big. You wouldn't put it in a big systema with lots of space, would you? No, no, no. You go and you buy a specific. You take your block of cheese when you're at the supermarket and you go into that kitchenware aisle and you try to find the best fit.

No, I just thumb it into whatever. Sometimes I'll even cut it up into different wedges. But do you take it out of the bag when you put it into this container? Yeah, because the bag does nothing. Oh. It doesn't keep it soft.

So this lady said she always removes her cheese from the wrapper and then puts it in a big Ziploc bag. Oh yeah, that makes sense. That's a good idea. But then people are like, why are you taking off the wrapper? Why don't you just put the wrapper in the Ziploc? That's what we do. Now there's this big argument of how you do it.

Why do you need to double bag it? I double bag mine because then you don't want it going off. The less air in, the better. No, it's a steamer all the way. This was it. We've got a cheese steamer. This, when I was a kid, we had a Tupperware thing. Yeah. A Tupperware container for cheese.

Right. And it was like the beetroot dipper. We're all familiar with the Tupperware beetroot dipper. Yeah, those are pretty magic. You put the can of beetroot and all the stuff in the thing, and then when you want it, it's like a reverse coffee plunger. You pull it up out of the liquid, and you can get your beetroot, and then you push it back down into the liquid.

I don't think we've ever seen one of those. It's genius. Yeah, those are pretty amazing. I just found what we had, the Tupperware cheese holder. Right. Oh, that's pretty fancy, isn't it? So it was, you'd lay it down, and you'd put the cheese on it, and it had a slidey drawer in it, and you'd slide it out, and you could slice the end of your cheese off, and then you'd slide it back in you'd put the cheese on it and it had a slidey drawer in it and you'd slide it out

and you could slice the end of your cheese off and then you'd slide it back in and put the lid back on. Right, right. And it kept it in there. I mean, it's basically the same as what you'd just be popping in any old plastic container. Right. We Ziploc it now.

We put it in its bag in the Ziploc. Sometimes I just let it go hard. Do you, if it goes hard, do you use it like grate it and still use it? Yeah, you've got to grate it. Okay. You can't have it as a slice anymore, but you can grate it. Yeah. And if there's mould, do you cut it off and keep using it

or do you throw the whole block out? My cheese doesn't go mouldy. You're not having it in there long enough to go mouldy. I'm not having it in there long enough. Cheese doesn't last long in these Sproul courtesy households. Yeah, you just cut that bit off too. Please don't waste that much cheese. It's a great waste for a cost of living crisis.

I mean, ideally it'd be great just to buy the grated cheese every time in the bag, but that's too expensive. And they put some coating on it. Corn flour-y stuff on the outside so it doesn't stick together. My kids will eat those plastic individually wrapped cheese slices and then just leave the plastic around the house. It drives me

crazy. I said to Indy, open your mouth, and she opened her mouth and I shoved the plastic wrapping into her mouth. Oh, wow. Okay. How did that go down? It didn't go down well with anybody. My wife included. Are you trying to choke her? I said, no, I'm trying to teach her a lesson. So the next

time they left it out, I put it in their ears. Oh, yeah, nice. Put it in their bed, you know, like Godfather. Yes, they wake up with a horse head and some cheese wrappers. Yeah, that's what I do when Aaron leaves like a toilet roll out. What, just put it in his side of the bed? Yeah, I just make him more aware of it by putting it somewhere inconvenient to him. It's really passive-aggressive though, isn't it?

Yeah, and I imagine if I could just talk about it and be like, that annoys me, but instead I won't ruin his day with it. I bet you've tried that though. Oh, maybe like 10 years ago. 11 past 6. Next on the show. Oh, next on the show.

Oh my god. Are we flirting? What's happening? Stop it. The majority of adults think that this thing doesn't matter anymore. And I promise you it does. Oh, it does. It does.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I know that you guys love your language. You love your grammar, don't you? Are you saying I do? Yes. Yeah. I've done grammar right. You done it good.

You done NCAA? Yeah. Or did you done school cert? Oi. Yeah, oi. I did. Okay, you done it. Yeah.

Wow. I've been doing it. Yeah, you've done real good. Thanks. You done good. I seen better results. Yeah. Well, seen this. There've seen better results. Yeah. Well, I've seen this.

There is a quarter of Gen Z, only less than a quarter of Gen Z, use periods, commas, and quotation marks in their casual communications. Like we're talking on your TikTok, your Instagrams, your social medias. They're just like not. They are just not. I heard someone bitching that someone had used a full stop and they found it very passive aggressive. Are you kidding me?

Yeah, I was like, oh, yeah, hey, thanks for that. Full stop. And they were like, oh, wow. I was like, no, that's just what you do. Remember when we lost our absolute rag when, have you been paying attention, social media, new social media person who was doing a great job with the reach and the content, but they did no capitals. No, zero capitals for names.

And Vaughn and I formally complained and went, I don't want to be represented by this. They cancelled the show. And then they cancelled the show. Sometimes you just keep your mouth shut, you know. Do you think that's why they cancelled? We made a stand. They cancelled the show because the older people on the panel were worried about capitalisation. Don't call me the older people on the panel.

I was consistently in the mids. Yeah. Thank you. 22% of people claim that it just simply takes too long and that as long as the meaning is conveyed, the technical accuracy of the writing just doesn't matter at all. They don't give a toss. Yeah.

Half of Gen Z and millennials bother to differentiate between there, there, there. Oh, that is one of my pet hates is when you get it wrong, there, there, there. Yeah. But as you get older,

your, your, your, your. Your, your, your. Or her, her, and her. People just aren't doing it. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Oh, yeah, hair, hair and hair. Three wildly different ones, though, the hair, hair and hair. Hair on your head, hearing things or over here.

Three very different hairs. There, there and there. And hair, the rabbit. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I know what you mean. And when you karate chop someone, you say, a little harder, the there, there, and there.

But the hair, hair, and hair, wildly different things. Basically, the study found the majority of young adults just don't even think it matters anymore. They're like, what does it matter? If you can understand what I'm saying, what does it matter? And I can't answer the question why it matters. But it does. It just does. It just does.

It just does. To the producers, when we're messaging you and we're using full stops, are you finding that passive aggressive? Is that what's happening? Yeah, if you put a full stop, I think that you're mad at me. Oh, my God. Yeah. I just went to a private school.

If it's mid-paragraph, it's cool. If it's the end of the message, oh, calm it down, guys. Just tell me the message. A full stop. Yes, but it's fine in the middle of a paragraph because then you're doing sentences. But at the end, just do a little emoji or an exclamation point. This is crazy.

The exclamation mark is less aggressive than a full stop. Yeah, it's fun. You could do like The exclamation mark is less aggressive than a full stop. Yeah, it's fun. You could do like five exclamation marks and that's still not as aggressive as a full stop. As one full stop. Absolutely. Or just write the word slay at the end of it. I just don't end most of my sentences with ha, ha, ha, ha.

Even though I'm not laughing. I'm not laughing. Or the laughing to hide your crying emoji. Hey, I slept through my alarm. I'm just running five minutes late, slay. Yeah. Or the laughing so hard you're crying emoji. So if I said to you guys, like, hey, I slept through my alarm, I'm just running five minutes late, it's like... Yeah. Yeah. I'm confused.

It just, like, spices it up. I'm looking through our group chat, and I will say that we don't full stop often. Like, we will use capitals and the correct spelling of things and commas and question marks, exclamation marks, but we don't full stop often. For me, it's only an angry full stop if it's like a three-word reply.

If it's like, hey, what are you up to? Full stop. I'm like, oh, man, I'm in trouble. But what if I was like... Oh, Hayley, can we do this? And you're like, that's fine. Full stop. Full stop.

Or where are you? It's like, where am I supposed to be? No, you put a question mark at the end of that. Because it's a question. Yeah, see, that's right. But if someone said, where are you? Full stop. I'm in trouble. Oh, no, that's right. But if someone said, where are you, full stop, I'm in trouble. Oh, no, that's just incorrectly punctuated.

I'm going to start using some full stops just to really mess it up. If you press double space bar, does it still automatically pop you in a full stop? Yep. Yeah. Good. I just need to find full stops. Yeah, finding the full stops certainly hits harder than just fine. Silly little poll is next on the show.

Today we're asking the question, do you get your plates ready for the people to collect or do you just leave them like in front of you? There's a bit of etiquette here. 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 It is so silly, silly, silly That silly little pole Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole Today's Silly Little Pole asks you How do you leave your plates at a restaurant? Your two options

In front of each person as we ate them With your fork And your knife in the fork. That's how I always leave it for you. Do you? No. And then I put the knife, balance them between the two prongs of the fork. Don't interlock them.

Interlock. No, that's yuck. That's basic. Why is that basic? How do you guys do it? Beside each other? Yeah, beside each other. It's more classy.

On the plate or beside the plate? On the plate. On the plate. Next to each other. On the beside each other. That's more classy. On the plate or beside the plate? On the plate. On the plate. Next to each other. On the plate. Do you beside the plate? No, definitely on the plate. That's a sign that I'm done.

Yeah. Okay. Or do you stack? Yeah, stack them. Don't do this. At the end of a table, stack them all up. Like, here, we're ready. Come and get this giant pile of yuck dishes.

Now, did you work in a, have you ever worked in a restaurant, Hayley? I've worked in a cafe. And what was your preference as someone who collected plates? Leave it, I've got my own methodology. Yeah, because I was gonna... And I remember I used to stack, I don't know, I just eat fast and then I'd just start stacking stuff. And my mum always told me it was

bad, like, don't do that. Whereas I think, people just think it's helpful, right? Yeah. Shannon, you also worked in a Whereas I think people just think it's helpful, right? Yeah. Shannon, you also worked in a restaurant. Yes. You had a lot of the dirty old men tuck money in your little pouch. You know it. What did you prefer? If they stacked it

well, lovely. But if they stacked it bad and there's forks and it's all wobbly, stay in your lane. Yeah, like who's stacking plates but leaving their cutlery in it? Or putting a plate on a mound of like broccoli or something. But if it's like, because I worked in an Italian restaurant, there was like garlic bread bowls and stuff like that.

You know, like those were great together. Buongiorno, by the way. And buongiorno to our Italian listeners. And it's a mia maria. It is a mia maria. I'm going to win. Stack it nicely, thank you. Stack it badly. please don't.

So when you say nicely, all plates with no food and all the cutlery on the top. Yeah, and some of the dish boys would get annoyed if you stacked it and there was too much food because then they had to clean the bottom heaps. Oh, right, okay. So like, only if it was clean kind of vibe. God, imagine having to clean both sides of a plate.

Oh my God, it's hell on earth. Imagine. Hey, dish boys work hard. Yeah. Dish boys work hard. Did they not have one of those big

industrial dishwashers? Yeah, but you have to wash it before you go in the sterilizer. Oh yeah. Yeah. Okay, so they would hand wash

and then sterilize. So that's just a sterilizer? Yeah, and then you always burn your hands getting your clothes out. So that thing doesn't play the role of a dishwasher.

No. It's primarily the... No, there's no cleaning product in it. I thought it was a dishwasher. It's just extremely hot water and steam. It smells wild. There might be a bit of product in it, but yeah, it's not like a, you don't put like a Tide Pod in it.

Oh, no, you don't put Tide Pods in your dishwasher. They'll feel close. Okay, so what does the nation say? 59% said in front of each person as you ate them. Okay. 41% said stacked up. So the majority, not that much of a majority, but a majority saying leave it in front of you.

That way you can also tell who hasn't eaten all their food so they're not getting put. And you can steal some of their food. Yeah, maybe. Tasty, tasty. Jamie says, used to be a waitress and it's easier to collect plates if they're left individually and not stacked.

Totally. You've got your own way. We're getting across the board here, Jamie. Sam says, ex-hospo. Yes, I hate myself for being that person, but individual, not stacked. Yeah, right. Could you do that thing

where you take lots of dinner plates to the table, Hayley, and you put one on your forearm? Yeah, I'm good at that. Oh, my God. You do two in the plate, like, in the hand like this. Yeah. Like you're holding discs, and you've got one on the forearm, and then you can stack them on each little bit.

Wild. That's wild. It's hot, eh? It's quite hot. Yeah, it is quite hot. I never got any cash tucked into my pouch, though, like Shannon. You give me different vibes. What's the vibe? Shannon very much gives it a pouch tuck vibe.

She would have been open to a pouch tuck. When were you? What's my vibe? You were a bit of a bitch as a teenager. What's my effing vibe? You were an emo bitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nobody's tucking money into a pouch of an emo bitch.

Yeah, I was an emo bitch. Yeah, you're right. Kathy says, often stacked, particularly if there isn't much room left on the table, I don't want to feel crowded. So she's popping it down the end.

It's always got to be in front of someone. If everybody passes their plates down to the end. And then you're the stack person. Have you ever been at a breakfast buffet, like a hotel does a breakfast buffet or whatever, and then you're done with this plate

because you haven't eaten everything and then you just put it on the table next to you and go and get a new plate. Yeah. All the time.

That's real naughty, eh? Where else are you going to put it? Yeah. The tidier we leave it, Hannah says, the tidier we leave it, I like to believe

makes a difference and makes it easier to clean up and we get the table refilled. It doesn't, Hannah. But she's stacking them on the end. You're making it a very heavy load.

Everyone in hospo hates that. If you're not stacking them up for the waitstaff, you're a douche, says Rhiannon. Rhiannon, we're hearing from waitstaff they don't want it stacked. Yeah. So you and your efforts to not be a douche. As being a douche. You're being a douche. You've really got to take a good hard look at yourself, Rhiannon. Yeah, Rhiannon.

Yeah. You're named after a Fleetwood Mac song. No doubt in my mind at all. It's time to take a look at yourself. Oh my God, I hate it when they're spread out. I'm a waitress and it's a pain in the ass. Make my life easier and stack them up. Now we're getting mixed messages.

Oh, wait, what? Wait, what? This is Evie. Pick a team. I think there needs to be a Hospitality New Zealand survey. Some sort of hard and fast rule. And then we just stick to whatever the results are from that. Because here's David, as someone who's worked in hospital,

it would be so hard when they stack them all up. Because usually the cutlery is on one plate and it'll slide off the plates or it won't sit even. I'd rather make a couple of trips and do it my way. Yeah, okay. Olivia, etiquette teacher says it's rude to stack at the table. There you go, so she's done an etiquette course. Yeah, I was told it was rude.

Weird, eh? It does put a bit of urgency. It's like, we are done. Like, it is a bit rude. Yeah, yeah. Because I'm not an a-hole. I've never worked in a restaurant. But also stuff that, if you can make life a little bit easier, then I will.

Michaela's claiming again that the stack makes it easier. But Michaela, you've never worked in a restaurant. Michaela, it's not making it easier. Oh, no, Michaela. All your life you've been making it harder. You've been trying to make something easier, but in turn making it harder. Like when a kid wants to help you bake.

Yeah. And they think they're helping, but they're not. They're just in the way. Yeah. And they can't hold a beater up properly, and they pull the beater out, it sprays everywhere. Sometimes it's best not to help. It's a bit of life advice.

Now, did you, because I've been on the road for a few weeks, did Auckland have a little bit of flooding again or some heavy rain the other day? Oh, yeah, they had some, not yesterday, the day before. Oh, my God. Monday. Yeah, there was a bit of a... We're having a bit of flooding, aren't we, as a country?

Yeah. I mean, I'm in beautiful Napier. They had it bad. They got the brunt of it. They really did. What was that cyclone called? Gabriel. Yeah.

Yeah, what a batch. Gabriel's a bitch. So flooding's bad, right? Flooding's always bad. You don't want things to flood through your streets, but that's exactly what has happened to a small Portuguese town called Sao Lourenco de Bearo. Brilliant Portuguese.

Thank you. That was flawless. Thank you. Portuguese. Their streets were absolutely flooded But it wasn't rain water Or you know tank water Or storm water Or river water

Or swimming pool water Not swimming pool water Not tap water Not sparkling water Reservoir water Not H2Go Not pump Nothing like that Was it vitamin water? Not H2Go, not pump, nothing like that.

Vitamin water. Not was it lightly sparkling H2Go? It wasn't Antipodes lightly sparkling. It wasn't an overflowing soda stream. It wasn't a soda stream water. It was red wine. And it was 2.2

million litres of red wine after there was a distillery. One of the tanks, oh no, two of the tanks, sorry, gave way and burst open and red wine literally flooded the streets of this village. Like, if you look at it, it looks just like the weather that we've been having over this winter. And that would be worse because at least when flood water resides in some parts, it just needs to dry out and stuff is fine. I mean, obviously, not your property,

like if it gets into your house and stuff. But if it flows through your backyard, a river of red wine is going to stain everything. And stink. And stink, yeah. And utterly stink. Yeah, so it was enough red wine to fill an Olympic swimming pool.

I just literally Googled how many litres in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Two and a half million. Yeah, so it was 2.2. So it was just under. And the photos are like, it's a river running through these people's houses. Yeah, so there were houses that lived near the distillery that had their basements, like, to the neck, filled with red wine.

Would you get a container, a couple of containers? Yes, look, it's getting a bit manky. I don't know if I'd get it off the street. But if it flooded my house, I would bottle a couple of... Run a sieve through it, right? Yeah. Or maybe you could boil it and make more wine. I'm just looking at the video.

It looks chunky, but maybe that's just the stuff that's collected along the way, you know? Yeah, right. The stones and stuff. Yeah. You wouldn't go there. Stink. Well, the winery, La Vida, has apologized. And it's saying, look, we'll try to sort this so it never happens again.

Yeah. But essentially they just said two massive tanks, just give way. And then to get all the stain out of everybody's carpet, they're going to smash two big tanks of white wine. I don't know if that's a thing. Don't do that. Soda water and white wine. And then some soda water as well.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. They'll sort it out. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, yeah. Yeah. They'll sort it out. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six.

Hello. Yesterday at a Perth Zoo, an orangutan was playing with a possum. Now, apparently it was playing with the possum on the ground in its enclosure. Yeah. Chucking it about, playing a bit rough. And then the possum scarpered up the orangutan's tower, to which the orangutan's like, I can do that too. Climbs up after it, pokes it with a stick,

then grabs it and yeets it. Yeets it. Now, I know Australians, the possum is protected. Here, absolute feral, aggressive pest. Yeah, that must be gone. That must be gone. We must end the reign of the poss. Yeah, they nibble up our native forest.

Yeah, they make such nice clothes as well. Oh, and nipple warmers, socks. You know, nipple warmers, slippers, scarves, hats, you name it. Very warm fur. But in Australia, they're a native species. They're a marsupial. They've kind of evolved to not be able to destroy forests as much. Yeah.

But here, they're a pain. But this orangutan had enough, and it yeeted it. And they're saying they haven't found the possum, but it's likely it didn't survive the fall. Fall? Throw. So after seeing this, the impressive strength of an orangutan. Well, those things rip your arms off.

They actually do have the power to rip your arms straight out of the sockets. And once they're not in the socket anymore, it's just being held there by skin and tendons, and they'll be able to tear those apart as well. Great. So I've got the top six people hiring orangutans for evictions. Okay. Number six on the list, landlords.

Don't fall too far behind on your rent. If there's a knock at the door and you pull the curtain and there's an orangutan at the ranch, don't open the door. Don't open the door. Because he'll just evict you right then and there, grab you and fling you onto the road. Okay.

Number five on the list of the top six people hiring orangutans for evictions, shop owners who get ram raided. The orangutan lives in the shop overnight. And if you ramrate and then run in, the orangutan throw you straight back out and then throw your car at you as well. I reckon if you're ramrating, though,

you should get permission for the orangutan to just rip your arms out. Seems fair. Well, you can't drive a car. Well, you can drive a car with that arms, but not very easily. Not great. Then you have to get a special vehicle.

Yeah, but that's on you for ram raiding. And then you wouldn't want to ram raid that. Yeah. Yep. Number four on the list of the top six people hiring orangutans for evictions. I mean, after we saw him throw that possum, I think the Department of Conservation could do with a few orangutans. We should, as a what, let them loose in our national parks.

Yeah. That'd be quite good, actually. I like that idea. If you go walking in the national parks, you have to take some anti-orangutan spray. So you don't want to get yeeted. Like bear spray? Yeah.

Number three on the list of the top six people hiring orangutans for eviction, supermarkets to stop shoplifters. Oh, yeah. It's not like you are on closed circuit cameras. It's like an orangutan is randomly patrolling the store getting ready to throw your ass out. Let us follow you around if you look a bit dodgy.

Yeah. And if they find you with a hot chook up your skirt, you're getting yeeted into that. You're getting yeeted across the trolley. You can't take a hot chook up the skirt. I've seen it. I've seen it happen. A bachelor's handbag.

They're piping hot bags. A bachelor's handbag up there by the original bachelor's handbag. That bachelor's handbag must have been out for 10 hours because you can't put something that hot next to your... Too hot. Your gentle bits. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six people

hiring orangutans for evictions, abortion clinics for the protesters. Oh, yeah, good. They'd be pretty good, eh? Yeah. Get rid of them. See these people protesting and then yeet them and then Yeah. Get rid of them. So there's people protesting,

and then yeet them, and then yeet their sign after them. And number one on the list of the top six people hiring orangutans for evictions are Uber drivers when passengers are being troublesome. He's just up front. He's got long arms,

so he just reaches back, opens the door, grabs you, flings. Well, at least that's going to save the question when an Uber pulls up and someone has to sit in the front and nobody wants to. Because he ran turns already up there. Oh, yeah. Man, Kay. Yeah, at least that's going to save the question when an Uber pulls up and someone has to sit in the front and nobody wants to. Because your antenna's already up there.

Yeah, because you can't. It's there. He will throw you out of that Uber if you misbehave. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. There is an American footballer who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles or something like that.

His name is Jason Kels. Okay. I think. Yeah. Doesn't matter. He was in one team in the Super Bowl and his brother was in the other team. Oh, my God. Family scandal.

Everyone was just obsessed with who their mum was backing. Right. Yeah, right. Right. Yeah, right, right. Well, he is a married man, and he is the subject of an upcoming documentary. And they talked to the wife, and then, you know, how did you meet? Those kind of stories.

And they admitted that they met on Tinder, which, you know, lots of couples these days would be able to claim. Yeah. They went on a date to a bar. Not quite a date, but, like, he was there with some friends and she was with other people and they kind of met up.

And they were talking at the bar and about 40 minutes in, he falls asleep. So he's at the bar just... And then he falls asleep. Tired, not passed out, drunk. I mean, he'd had drinks, but he wasn't blacked out. I think he just sort of nodded away. When you're tired and you just have a couple of drinks,

and then that's just enough to just set you off to nutties. And if it's warm. And you're at a party and you're like, and your eyes are like flittering backwards. Well, he fell asleep. See, it wasn't a great first impression, but he rung her and was like, can we do that again? And then they went on a date.

But they're married now, so it worked out. Mar first impression, but he rung her and was like, can we do that again? And they went on a date. They're married now. So it worked out. Married now, it was fine. But straight up. I mean, I'd forgive a national sports person on a good wage. Yeah, he earns a bit. If they fell asleep and they were like, do you want to do it again? I'd be like, yeah, I'll give you another shot.

Would you forgive a non-national sports person on not a good wage? No, I'd be horrifically offended. Yeah, I'd be like another shot. Would you forgive a non-national sports person on not a good wage? No, I'd be offended. I'd be horrifically offended. Yeah, I'd be like, what's wrong with you? You know, is there something going on? Yeah, but obviously he has long days training, probably been up early. Couple of brewskis. Yeah.

And you're asleep. And possible ongoing long-term concussions. We don't know. Yeah, we don't know, but we can assume. Yeah. So I wanted to know this morning if you've ever fallen asleep on a date. And I don't mean at the end of coitus. I reckon a lot of people would fall asleep on a movie date.

Oh my God, I find it so hard to stay awake in movies. Yeah, I reckon movies, you'd look over and your date is asleep. Yeah. But at a bar movies, you'd look over and your date is asleep. Yeah. Just head back. But, like, at a bar, like, unless you're that drunk. Yeah, unless you're, like, passing out. Yeah. Or you go back for a Netflix and chill and you only get to the net

and you fall asleep on the couch. Yeah, that's me. I would be terrible for a Netflix and chill. Okay, so 0800DARLS at M. We want to take some calls. We want to see, has this ever happened to you? Maybe you've been on a date with someone and they've fallen asleep. Or you were that person on a date that fell asleep.

0800DARLS.M is our number. You can text through 9696. Did you fall asleep on a date? You silly fool. There is an American footballer, Jason Kels, who has shared that he fell asleep on his first date with his now wife. Just locked out, basically. Had a couple of drinks.

Not enough. And that was it. It was over. So we want to know when you have, or a date you've been on, when you've fallen asleep. Now, Jess, you were on a date and he fell asleep. Yeah. I went to the movies on a date. We kind of went on lots of active

dates at the start, you know, like Snow Planet and things. Oh, nice. Oh, I wouldn't want to go to Snow Planet on a first date because I'm not very good. I'm more of a toboggan guy or a rubbish black sack guy on the snow. Yeah, but I don't have any natural ability on the snowboard

at all, so it wasn't great. It wasn't great, but you did it. You did it anyway. I did it, and then I suggested the movies would be a really great choice. So The Hunger Games was my pick, and, you know, a really high-paced action movie. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, well, that's what I thought,

but halfway through when I looked over, he was fast asleep snoring. He was even snoring. Wow, okay. And did you carry on dates with this guy? I'm now married to him and we have a toddler. Does he fall asleep? Is he asleep on the couch a lot? The minute he lies down, he'll nod off?

He falls asleep within about 15 seconds of his eyelids closing. I hate it. I know. What a fella. Yeah. Oh, my God. I'm glad it worked out for you. Yeah, and to be honest, you knew what you were getting into.

He was a sleeper. He was a sleeper. Yeah. Yeah. Jess, thanks. You called some messages in. I've been on a date that was going really well, got to Netflix, and then woke up on the couch alone.

I was like, oh, that's weird. I've fallen asleep. Where did they go? To home. Wait, whose house was it? It was at his house. Oh, okay. They just, what, let themselves out?

So she gave me a second chance. Yeah, I guess they just let themselves out. She gave me a second chance and things were going as well as the first date, then got to the Netflix part again and woke up on the couch alone again. Oh, my God. Some people, when they lie down, baby, that's them. I know, have a coffee. They blame the red wine. They said, I'm not usually a red wine drinker.

I'm maybe very sleepy. Yeah, right. I went on a date and then... Wait, so there was no third chance that was it? There was no third chance. It sounds like it was two strikes and you're out. To the chill bit. Don't get to the hand stuff.

They said there was no hand stuff. There might have been a bit of hand stuff on the couch. Right. Couch is a place for hand stuff. You mean for the holding hands. Holding hands. Holding hands. Handing in the remote.

Stroking thumbs. Yeah. That kind of stuff. Went on a date. They came back to my place and went to the bathroom for a tidy up. Now. Like a puke trim. Oh, my God. That's where my mind went for a tidy up. Now, like a puke trim. Oh my God.

That's where my mind went for a tidy up. It's too late. You can't do that when you're there at your house. Went to the bathroom for a tidy up,

came back, he was asleep on my couch with a little snoring as well. Oh, and you're all fresh and ready to go. Not a date. I was doing long distance

and I fell asleep during a intimate video call. Oh. That's not. Come on. Thank you for doing that. Wrap it up though. My now husband fell asleep at the movies on our first date after he came to where I lived

which was five hours away. Oh wow. No, I went to where, wait, he came out to where I lived which is five hours a day from my then city I lived in. That's a confusing sentence. I can't work out if she traveled, because she'll be pissed if she traveled.

Yeah. And then he fell asleep. Yeah. But if he traveled and then fell asleep, you might be able to understand he's had a long drive. But then five hours driving, you just wouldn't, you'd want a little nun. You'd want a little nun.

You'd want a little nun. My date fell asleep in a nightclub. I drank his drink and then married the guy that came over to keep me company oh my god ever been ever had too much

to drink in the pub and you're just shutting your eyes in the corner and the guy's like come on mate out your hole out your hole

I'm alright I'm alright I'm in the booth nah it's only five minutes years ago okay I haven't pre-read this one and it's long

we'll see years ago my then boyfriend and his sister and her husband, okay, so boyfriend and the boyfriend's sister and husband, went on a double date to watch with something. With Nail and I at the movies. I don't know what that is. The most boring movie ever made. Okay.

All four of us fell asleep. And then the movie broke down and the lights came on and all four of us stood up and started walking out and everyone was just still sitting, still staring at us. That's a four-way snooze on a date.

I love that. Four-way snooze on the date. Must have been a terrible movie. Terribly boring. Someone said, I just wish I could get a date. This isn't the time for you to wallow in your self pity

We're hearing about People falling asleep Go on Tinder Yeah get on the apps There's something out there For everybody To our Hollywood's Newest couple

Kylie Jenner Timothee Chimley Timothee Chimley You would Timoté Chimelé. You would have seen the video of them at the US Open along with a bunch of celebrities and they had a little PDA. They did? You saw this. The world saw this.

They had a lot of PDA. Well, a journalist asked a body language expert to give her take on their PDA. Right, because it's a very unexpected couple. When you look at her previous dating records, not much of a Timothy Shelemen. No skinny, weedy white guys, eh?

No. Yeah, like usually sort of buff black men to be fair. Yeah, yeah. So it's wild though. Like could you imagine if you and Sade went out for dinner and somebody caught you on camera kissing and then there was a news story about your body language and how they felt the relationship was going?

Right. The Smiths on the brink of divorce. According to a local body expert. Yeah. Body language expert. Isn't it just wild? I don't think you need a body language expert. It's a strange thing. You'll probably have

one of those arguments you have at dinner where you're like shouting under your breath. Well, a body language expert, Judy James, analysed their demeanours and she said that they were far from synchronised and she noticed a divide between them.

She added that Kylie seemed committed while Timothy seemed he just wanted to have fun. Yeah, do you know what? I kind of read that. Is that what you kind of think's going on? As a non-body language expert and just a curious person, I sort of thought the same.

Like, she seems super into him and he's just like, yeah, man, you're a Kardashian, basically. Yeah, she seems super into him, and he's just like, yeah, man, you're a Kardashian, basically. Yeah, I'm having some fun. Yeah. She's basically saying, yeah, I don't think they're in the same place. Right.

Interesting. Yep. I mean, it's not, it's, I just, I'm just fascinated by it. I remember when the rumors came out that they were hanging around. I was like, come on. Yeah, like is this for real? But yeah, I guess it is for now. It's for real for now. I haven't seen this.

What kind of kissing? Let's talk about the kissing too because we haven't seen this video. Nah. It was kind of when because it was like a bunch of celebrities because everybody was at the US Open. Oh God, keep your hands to yourself. Jesus. Have some decorum. So that... A sloppy.

She spoke about that. She said that Kylie's actions seemed very grown up. They're sitting just behind the guy from the back. Cousin. I know. Cousin. Yeah. Yes, cousin.

Cousin. She said that Kylie's actions seemed very grown up and even maternal while... She's a mother of two. Yeah, while the actor gave off a younger and more fun vibe. Well, he's a father of none. With zero responsibilities. I know. Yeah.

Well, I mean, good luck to the happy couple. It's a smooch. That was a weird one. Yeah, it's a bit off. It's a bit strange. Yeah. It's open mouth, but it's not sealed. You know, like a lot of air could escape out the corner of the mouth?

I prefer a tight seal. You like a tight seal for a kiss? I like a tight seal on a kiss. Okay, right. No, you need room to let it breathe. A vacuum seal. No, like two docking space stations. Weird.

And then you can travel between. Yeah. Without the fear of space and the vacuum that is getting sucked into space 7.30 next on the show well next on the show one we need to address

I've been bitten quite severely by something I've just got an itchy tongue and I've been absolutely hacked alive I got bitten on the top of the hand last night by a mosquito this feels like a... I'm going to draw a circle around it. Hang on.

Oh, yeah, that classic thing. And then you let us know if it gets any bigger. Okay, circle's done. For now, we travel to the UK. And this blows my mind. I've never really understood why companies do this because there's a sort of a company of pubs, very popular, there's heaps of them, about 800 of them around the UK called Stonegate. I don't know it, but Stonegate pubs. And they're

doing price surging and I've never understood price surging. What like Uber when it's really busy. They put their prices up. So when it's busy, they put their prices up. That's, oh, that's cheeky. It's the rule of supply versus demand, isn't it? But sort of an immediacy. Yeah, but then that's, you could stomach that if they had more than two bar staff on.

Yeah, I know. You know when you wait like 40 minutes for a drink? Yeah, I'd be annoyed if that happened. Because Wetherspoons was the opposite. As my recollection stands is that Wetherspoons had the prices of all the bars around them and what they were selling beers for and ciders for. And then undercut them.

And then they'd undercut them. So you could go down there, but it costs this much a pint. We'll do it, you know, 5p cheap. Yeah, right. So they're doing more, 20p more during peak hours peak hours being like the busiest hours right after work lunch times weekends and they said it's to cover things like here we go additional yeah extra cleaning more staff for the bar providing customers with plastic pint glasses. Why has this never happened before?

Why has this never been a problem before? That's just part of it, right? You spread it out over the... It's just money making. I've never understood with Uber, it's like, there's more people wanting Ubers, so we're going to charge you more. I'm like, no, you don't. Like, it just means that all of you are going to get your cars filled up.

Yeah, exactly. Right? It's so cheap. It's amazing that it up. Yeah, exactly. It's so cheap. It's amazing that it's even legal, right? It's actually cheeky. It's very cheeky. It's proper cheeky. It's bloody cheeky.

That's proper cheeky. I just want a pint. I always get the e-scooters, and Beam have started doing this. They're researching. They do, like, they're like, oh, it's really busy. It's an extra 10 cents a minute. And you look around, and there's, like, 10 of them on the street. You're like Oh it's really busy It's an extra 10 cents a minute And you look around And there's like

10 of them on the street You're like What are Like They can't They're just available When they're available Yeah

I know it's wild eh This late stage capitalism I'm thinking it's a I don't think I can say that anymore I was going to say I think it's It's a rip off It's a joke

It needs to Hurry up and get to The latest stage I just think it's proper cheeky. It's proper cheeky. I'm not paying any more for my pint. I'll go to Wetherspoons. Oh, Tuesday night, Corina.

Aye, they're doing a prawn curry. Curry club. I like the curry club. For those that aren't in England, that's like a big chain over there, yeah. Yeah, it is, it is. Some messaging, proper chav-like move in there. Oh, is it?

Yeah, it's a proper chav-like in there. It is. We know now. Oh, you lost it there a bit, eh? No, we know now. No, just stop. We know now. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

True. One thing people always say, oh, that's a bit yuck, is that I chew my fingernails. Oh, my God. I literally just watched an Instagram last night and it was someone saying, why you shouldn't do it? And it did one of those close-ups

of a fingernail with all the dirt and there was little wormies. I've got this far through life. But yesterday I was doing some gardening. I was repotting my herbs. I can see Fletch is very interested in what I was doing in the garden. I was repotting my herbs. I just absolutely Fletch is very interested in what I was doing in the garden. I was repotting my herbs. I just absolutely phased out.

I'm opening my crossword. Yeah. I was repotting my herbs, guys. Always remember to keep mint in its own pot. It will absolutely take over a garden bed if you let it run in the wild. Meaning. I found meaning. M-E-A-N-I-N-G.

What was the clue for meaning? No, I'm just doing a word search. Something of life. Are you doing a word search. Something of life. Oh, you're doing a word search. I like crossword. I like that you said you're doing a crossword. Crossword made it sound more intelligent. You're just doing a dummy's word search.

Like anyone can find a word. You're doing what kids do at Cobb & Co or Lone Star while they're waiting for their meal. I found mellow. They're all M words. That's what makes it harder. Oh, okay. Member.

Oh, my God, I'm on fire. You tell your story, babes. Okay, well, I was out there doing some gardening and anyway, I came back in and there was a lot of dirt and stuff under my nails. Oh, yeah. So I stood at the sink with a sharp knife scraping it all out.

A sharp knife? Oh my God. Ew, use a nail tool, you pig. Nah, sharp knife and then just pop that in the dishwasher for later. Ew, yuck. I'm not eating your house again. I need that and the chip plates.. Get a wash and put them in there. Oh, yuck. I'm not in your house again. I need that and the chip plates.

Oh, my God. I know those chip plates. The nail knives, the toe knife, and the chip plates. I mean, this is just fantastic. If that's another reason for you guys not to come to my house, that'd be great. I'll keep compiling these lists. And then I was like, I might just actually cut my fingernails because I know I'm going to end up

chewing them. Do you not cut them ever? No, I never cut my fingernails. I've got the little clippers. I clip my toenails because I can't get them in my mouth. But if I could get them in my mouth, I'd probably chew on the toenails. I do this thing where I clip my toenails and I'll just sit on the ledge

on the carpet and then I'll vacuum them all up. How do you put them on the carpet? I do it when I'm having a poo and then I just open my legs and I pop just sit on the ledge on the carpet and then I'll vacuum them all up. Okay, I do it. How do you put them on the carpet? I do it when I'm having a poo and then I just open my legs and I pop the nails down the middle. Yeah, I put mine in the toilet. Yuck. That is so yuck. You are so yuck.

That or I chuck them out the window because the toilet's beside a window. Yuck. And I open it up and I chuck it out the window. Yuck. I don't like it. Wait, so you're... No, no, not my fingernails. No, I never. I chew them like it. Wait, so you're... No, no, not my fingernails. No, I never...

I chew them, but when I'm taking a poo, sometimes I'll look down and I'll see my toenails need to be trimmed and so I'll trim them and then I'll just grab them and I'll chuck them in the toilet

and flush them with the poo. Look what you've done. Shannon can't even look at you. That's saving water. That's saving water. That's saving water. No, but you shouldn't spend that much time on the toilet.

You'll give yourself piles. Oh, I love the toilet. Hemorrhoids. No, you get up. You need to walk around. Gotta do something. And so I was like, I'm gonna cut my fingernails. Now I just don't cut my fingernails. You didn't do that on the toilet? No.

I did it on the couch and tried to catch them all. Ew. Pokemon. I trimmed them and now I am filled with regret because I've trimmed them short and whenever I go to grab something, it's sore. Oh, you've gone too short.

I've gone too short. I've gone too short. And now I'm like, even driving to work this morning, I gripped the steering wheel and I was just like, ah. Like it's a really weird, it's an intense pain. It's just an annoying pain. Yeah. And the left hand seems to be worse than the right hand.

It'll go after a day, but you've got to just not go so short next time. I also had a couple of these nails had nails growing up behind the nail. Sort of a split nail situation. Oh, yes, I get that. I want to know what causes that because I'm pretty keen to stop that because that hurts. Yuck. I get that.

I get the double nail. Yeah. And the back nail really hurts. Really hurts. It's like a thin, it's like a half nail. Thin, flaky nail. Are you half talking to us while you're doing your crossword? I just found mentality.

I can tell you were half in the conversation. Great find from you. But yeah, now I'm full of regret. I think I'm just going to go back to chewing my nails. Why don't you go get some acrylics done? That'd be nice. Make them nice and long again. And then you won't be able to chew them.

Yeah. Some French tips. That's what I do have indoor netball this week. They'll make me take them off, won't they? They'll make you take them off. These are full-blown. I've got full-blown netball now. Yeah.

I couldn't scratch anybody with these if I wanted to. Do they scratch a netball? Well, that's why they have to cut their nails in case of an accidental scratch. Right. Accidental. Yeah, you can't come on my court with hoop earrings or long nails. Damn it. I'm out for indoor netball.

I carry clippers. I carry clippers. I carry clippers. Hoop netball earrings. Okay. Your hoop netball earrings? Well, we won't take them out. I've got my Nelly Furtado earrings. I was going to say,

don't be fooled by the rocks that he's got. He's still Fletcher from the block. Anyway, just trip. I love it when you wear your Nelly Furtados, though. You look so cute. Thank you. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Thank you.

Thank you. Thanks, guys. Play Zed-N. Flex for the nightly. Play Zed-N. Now, there was a woman who shared an experience on the uh on the talk of witch ticks and um she did something rather silly so this morning i was on my walk halfway through i decided to take my vitamins so i put my vitamins in took a drink and i was like man those are stuck so i guzzled my my water and went to go get my AirPod

and my pills were in my hand. I swallowed my AirPod. She swallowed her whole AirPod. Who decides to take vitamins halfway through a walk? That's what I couldn't. It's so hard to be doing something that involves, even taking a big guzzle of water when you're doing cardio is hard

because you've got your breathing pattern on, you have to disrupt it to swallow. I think she was just on a mum walk. I don't think it looked that, from the video, it didn't look that strenuous. But what are you like packing a little Centrum multivitamin in your pouch? No, you take them in the morning or the night.

Yeah, you take them when you have breakfast, right? Yeah. Or before you leave with a glass of water. You don't mid-walk take a vitamin. Yeah, real bizarre. I mean, I could definitely swallow an AirPod because when I do go through periods of really caring about my body and how it feels, I'll take lots of vitamins.

Yeah. And I swallow them all at once. And some of them are massive, and I just get it in. I've got a trick. Do you want my trick? What's your trick? A lot of people, when they swallow pills, they put the pills in their mouth,

and then they knock it back, right? And they go like that. That's what I do. That's what I do. Restricting the throat. Oh. Closing it up. Okay.

Open the throat, Paul Fletcher. So you go like this. You take your water. Open the throat. Paul Fletcher. So you go like this. You take your water. Open the throat. Is that where I've been going wrong? You've been going wrong with your vitamins. All these years. Choking on your vitamins.

So when you put the water in your mouth. Yeah. Look down and then swallow because it opens the. Look down. No, that's too. Look down. No, look up. That's right.

Look up. No, it doesn't. No, if you go like this, your whole throat is actually opened. Yeah, trust me. No, it doesn't. No, if you go like this, your whole throat is actually opened. Yeah, trust me. No, you're talking rubbish. No, I'm not talking rubbish. So a doctor told me, and it's how I do my pills all the time. Wait, so you put water in your mouth, and then the pills.

So I go, no, I go the pills, one, and then I go water. Oh, I just dribbled. And then look down. And you look down slightly, so the back of your head raises up and it opens up your throat. No, that to me feels like I'm more... I feel like it's pushing. Yeah, it feels like pushing on the Adam's apple.

Well, just trust me. Just trust me. Next time you're going to take a bunch of pills. Okay. So I think you definitely couldn't swallow a Generation 1 AirPod, but the latest Gen AirPods are quite little. Like the stick on them is next to nothing. Yeah, I don't know what generation she swallowed,

but it's... It's inside of her. It's inside of her now and it will hurt passing through. Because I had a friend that's lost just one AirPod, like on a plane, and they just ordered a new one online. Can you order a single one and pair it? Can't you find them?

No. No. No, they can find the case, but not the actual pod. So you can. I think it's like a hundred bucks for just one and they have to peer it up. They work out what one you had and then they peer it up and send it to you. Well, I want to know

what you accidentally swallowed. I think we should take some calls and get some messages because, you know, I think, I mean, as a kid, man, I would have swallowed, I reckon like 20 bucks worth of coins. Because you're always sucking on coins. Oh right, yuck. Your parents let you do that?

Mankey. Very mankey. But the coins used to be bigger. Yeah, very high. You would have choked on a 30 cent back in the day, they were big. Oh yeah, that was huge. Imagine like she said she had her pills in one hand and her AirPod in the other. So it's just

a complete mix-up. That would be very easy to do. We are taking your calls and your text messages of what you accidentally swallowed, because a woman went to go swallow some of her vitamins and instead just swallowed her AirPod. Now, I don't know that we've got an update on that coming

out. I would just let it go. Like, some people might. Oh, it's true. They've survived washing machines. Was it a year or so ago someone had one inside? They'd done the same thing, swallowed it. And did they have audio from inside? Oh, maybe they could connect to it.

Yeah, maybe you're right. I feel like that was a news story a couple of years ago. But also, they've got a battery in them, right? So if the stomach did get through the outside and expose the battery, that could be very, very dangerous. Yeah. Very dangerous to have a battery in your tum. Someone also said as a speech therapist,

the chin tuck is definitely a strategy for swallowing. Wild. Thank you. So, yeah, this, according to the... No, no, sorry. What? An apology, please. I apologise for not knowing the correct way to swallow.

Vaughan? No, I just want that audio clip. This, okay, so this also happened in 2021. A woman said, I accidentally swallowed my AirPod and recorded a voice note from my stomach. Wow. No, shut up.

She did. She did. She thought she was taking like a couple of panties, a couple of Neurofins or whatever. She swallowed an AirPod. Because you guys are dumb. Yeah, dumb, man. So dumb.

So dumb. So dumb. So what have you accidentally swallowed? Somebody, can I just quickly touch on this technique for swallowing something? You put the pills in the water and then just drink the glass of water like it's a normal glass of water? No, no, no, no, no. No, they taste yuck if they start to dissolve. Yeah, no.

That's a big no. Okay. That's a no. Can we tell that person who texted him to shut up? Yeah, we'll tell them to shut up. James, what did you accidentally swallow? I've got PTSD from this experience,

so I don't know if I should actually be talking about it. Save space. Oh, work through it. Work through it. Save space, yeah. Yeah, it was a sunny

Sunday afternoon and I filled my drink bottle up from the garden hose. Now, that is a mistake I will never make again. Okay. And I'm happily drinking away, get to the bottom of the bottle

and something falls into my mouth. Technically, I didn't actually swallow it,, get to the bottom of the bottle, and something falls into my mouth. Technically, I didn't actually swallow it, but it hit the back of my throat. I spat it out. It was a massive slug. And I just immediately started retching. I was reaching

for anything to wash my mouth out. I was scrubbing. I almost friggin' drank bleach just to feel clean, you know? And so the slug was just like, yeah, here's a nice hose I can live in now. And then you washed it out into your drink bottle. Yeah. Never drink from the garden hose.

No, no, no, you shut up. We're going into summer and one of my favourite things to do is to go outside without a water bottle and then when you're thirsty, go straight up to the hose. I let it run for a bit. You let it run because it I'm not doing it now.

You let it run because it's hot. The hot water. Bingo. In summer, the water, you turn it on, it'll be cold for a snap

and then it'll go hot. You gotta let the hot water run through. James, thanks. You call Elizabeth. Good morning. Kia ora. Kia ora. I was expecting a Liz.

You don't go to Liz. You go full Elizabeth. I can do Liz. Yeah, Liz works. Would you go Betty? Would you go Betty or Beth? Nah, no. No Betty or Beth. No go full Elizabeth. I can do Liz. Yeah, Liz works. No, I just wondered. Would you go Betty or Beth? Nah, no. No Betty or Beth.

No Betty or Beth. I just said it's just you never hear of full Elizabeth. No, I'm happy to have an Elizabeth on the show. Yes. Yeah, okay. What did you accidentally swallow? So it wasn't me, actually. It was my ex, but he swallowed a Canadian toonie,

which is a very large coin. How? If you had to relate it to a coin in New Zealand, what size? At least larger than a $ large coin. How? If you had to relate it to a coin in New Zealand, what size? At least a larger than a $2 coin. How was it in his mouth? Oh, gosh.

So, you know the game Save the Queen? No. Well, you've got to have a coin in your mouth. Yeah. So, you put a coin in someone's drink

because they have to finish the drink to save the queen. Right. But he just swallowed the coin as well. Yeah. So, it's like the queen because she. But he just swallowed the coin as well. Yeah. Oh, so it's like the queen because she's on the coin

is drowning and you've got to drink all the stuff to save her. If someone puts it into your glass while you're not watching you have to drink, yeah. Oh, so it's sneakily done.

So you would call the game now Save the King when we have the king on the coins, right? We're going to have to change that as well along with the king or save the endeavor

or whatever coin you're dropping in there. Yeah. Save the heron. What's on the $2 coin? The heron. You save the heron to change that as well. Save the Endeavor or whatever coin you're dropping in there. Yeah. Save the Heron. What's on the $2 coin? The Heron. You save the Heron. Save the Great Heron.

Elizabeth, thank you. Aisin, good morning. Hi. Is it A... Elsa, sorry. Asia. Yeah. No, wait, what is it?

Asia, like the continent? Asia. I thought it was an L Asia, like the continent. Asia, like the continent. I thought it was an L. I like your name. I like that name very much. Thanks. So what did you accidentally swallow?

I didn't completely swallow it, but I was in Wanaka drinking a can of Sprite and there was a wasp in my drink and I didn't know. And it stung the back of my tongue. Wait, what? It was alive? Yeah, and people had to get like hands down my throat

to pull out the stinger. Oh my God. The stinger was lodged in the tongue? Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God. I don't, okay. Was there swelling of the tongue?

No, luckily. That's very lucky. Did it itch? Because when I've been stung before. It bloody itches. Yeah, it was pretty painful. Oh, that sounds horrible. Asia, thank you. I'm just debating, Vaughn, should we go to Samara? Because

that is... That is... I want to hear it. Is it naughty? Samara, come on here. It's not naughty, but this is like my worst nightmare. What did you accidentally swallow? I accidentally swallowed a needle. Oh!

Was it in a strawberry that somebody had put in a supermarket? That's right. Remember when someone was doing that? Yes. Oh, my God. Cheeky buggers? No, it's not one of those find a tooth in a food thing and eat it. No, I was working in a bridal shop and I was having someone's dress

and I decided to start talking as the needle was in my mouth. Dum-dum. Was it, Samara, was it a needle with one of those like rounded ends on it? Yes, yes. The big one that's a pin is. And that's a pin, isn't it?

Oh my God, how did it go down? So it was probably like, I don't know, four or five centimetres long. And I swallowed it and went, oh my God, oh my God. How did it go down? So it was probably like, I don't know, four or five centimeters long. And I swallowed it and went, oh, my God, oh, my God. Went to the A&E and they sent me straight to hospital in an ambulance. I wasn't allowed to eat for 36 hours. They tried to find it and they couldn't. And I had about four or five x-rays, which I still have,

of the needle just kind of making its way down my day. Ah, making my way downtown. And then it just kind of went out on its own. What? No, you did that? Did it come out needle end first or bulb end first? I don't know. It would have been wrapped in poop.

Wait, did you have to, Samara, did you have to sieve your poo? I did not, no. They just did an x-ray and it just wasn't there anymore. She chatted out. You should have got one of those magic wand things that security has when they're looking for metal at the airport. I would have been for sure.

So what was the main concern when you were in hospital that it was going to face the wrong way and tear something on the way through? Yeah, that it was going to lodge itself somewhere in my digestive tract. So the worst part of that whole experience, I wasn't allowed to eat anything because they thought I might have to operate. For like, what, 36 hours?

With my mouth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for 36 hours. My parents came to visit me and they had a full dinner and I was sitting there eating it. And I was like, this is really good. Bastards, that's not on. That's not on. Rough. Amazing, Samara. Thank you for

sharing. Let's go to some text messages. Somebody else said, I accidentally swallowed the coin in my wine glass at a BYO. Now, do you think they were playing the Save the Coin game as well? Is it a bit of a BYO classic? It is, yeah. My dog's medication were on one side of my cup of tea and my tablets were on the other side of the cup of tea and I did

not take my tablets that day. What was the dog medication? You wouldn't have worms or fleas though, would you? No, probably not. Sorted. I left my tooth in a little cup beside my bed for the tooth fairy. And my brother was like,

wouldn't it be funny if somebody drank it? Wouldn't it be funny if somebody drank it? And then he tipped the cup and the tooth went in his mouth and he panicked and swallowed it. Dumb. Yeah. Some other people were at a BYU playing the coin game.

Yeah, it's very popular. I've never heard of it. It is. It's manky though. It's manky. It comes off in your drink. Really manky. Would you like to play it next time we go to Yum Cha or something?

Yes, please. I don't know. No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want to upset the people at Yum Cha. This is one of my favourite places to go. I don't need to upset them with this. We can do it on our... Scallywags. Yeah. I don't want to upset the people at Yumcha. This is one of my favourite places to go. I don't need to upset them with this sort of... We can do it on our... Scallywags.

Yeah. I need a scallywag. My friend's grandfather ate his very expensive herring egg. He thought it was a peanut. You know how the little ones are a little tiny and they go in the air? Yeah, he ate it. He ate it. That's an expensive peanut.

Yeah. Gosh. Someone said it might be coincidental, but as that guy was telling that story about the slug being in the back of his mouth, I did watch a car pull over and have a chunny on the side of the road in traffic. It was us. They're listening.

It may have been coincidental, though. It may have been us. Or they could just be hung over. On a Wednesday. They shouldn't be driving. They shouldn't be driving at the point of a chunny. Definitely not.

The next day. Absolutely not. Fact of the Day is next. This week at Fact of the Day. It's Ocean Week. It's Ocean Week. Specialising in the vastness of the ocean.

Mmm. Mmm. Play ZS Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZS. Oh! Fact of the Day. Day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day, we continue on our vast ocean themed fact of the day.

It's making me feel very uneasy. Yeah, it's huge. Sometimes you look into space and feel insignificant. Well, you don't even need to look that far. You can look right here on Earth at the vastness of the ocean to feel insignificant. Today's fact of the day is the world's largest waterfall is underwater in the ocean. That's technically not a waterfall, though.

Yeah, how's it falling? It's just constantly moving and falling and rising and all sorts. It's a waterfall by definition. And then Denmark Strait, in a gap between Denmark and Iceland, there is a, or one of Denmark's islands, Greenland and Iceland, is a Denmark state. That's why it's called the Denmark Strait. There is a waterfall called the Denmark Strait Cataract.

Light in the eyes. Yeah. Cataract. Now, due to where these waters meet and the difference in temperature, when these waters collide, the colder one falls. The warmer one doesn't. Now, it also happens to be over what would be, if it was above ground, a waterfall-like feature, a huge drop.

Yeah. So this waterfall is the largest on earth because the water, when it goes from the surface and it's cold and it drops down, straight drop, three and a half kilometres. Yeah, but that's not a waterfall, is it? It is. It's just the ocean. It's the water falling over a cliff.

It's just the ocean. It is. It's falling over. It's not a waterfall over a cliff. It's just the ocean. It is. It's falling over. It's not splashing on rocks and sort of. Well, it is. When it hits the bottom, it's like, there's video footage of it. And when it hits the bottom, it does act like a waterfall because of the temperature difference in the water. Yeah, right.

It is three times the height of the Angel Falls in Venezuela. That's the highest above. That's the highest above one. That's the beautiful falls that by the time it gets to the bottom, it's like a rain because the water's falling so far in Venezuela. And the amount of water going over the edge is 3.2 million cubic metres per second, which is more water than exits out of the Amazon

into the Atlantic Ocean and any other waterfalls on Earth. There's more water going over the edge and falling. It's a straight three and a half kilometres straight down in the form of a waterfall. That's too big. And not technically a waterfall. Definitely a waterfall.

You can argue with me, that's fine. But the messenger for geologists who have confirmed it is a... I'll say it. Geologists are wrong. Geologists are wrong. If you were under there and you were to stand under the waterfall, are you getting wetter than you already are?

Yeah, she's got you there. No, you can feel downward pressure. She's got you there. But when you're standing under a waterfall, there's going to be a point where you have a waterfall above land where you've reached maximum saturation. At that point, does that waterfall cease to become a waterfall? No, I think you keep getting wetter and wetter.

No, you don't because you'd reach a point where you are as maximally saturated as you possibly could be. It depends if you put more coins into the fountain. Yeah, it does. Water fountain. The water fountain that keeps squirting. Does this fountain, does this waterfall grant wishes? I don't know if any waterfall grants wishes. You're thinking of a fountain.

You're thinking of a wishing well. I'm thinking of Trevi Fountain, yeah. You're thinking of a fountain. Very, very different. So the water is 200 metres wide and 200 metres thick. So just this square column of water careens over this edge and just straight down for three and a half kilometres, making it the world's largest waterfall.

I feel like he's too much. It's a lot. There's a lot happening down there. So today's fact of the day is the world's largest waterfall, both in volume and height dropped, is underwater. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. That'll be the 13th day of September. Yes. And last month there was a thing up at the gym saying Fletchvorn and Hayley That'll be the 13th day of September Yes

And last month There was a thing up at the gym Saying steps challenge next month Steps challenge next month And I'm always just I just walk straight past them Because I don't You step straight past them don't you?

I'm a honey badger at the gym I'm a solo creature And I don't give a damn I'm just out there doing my thing Yeah Trying not to You know Trying to keep a little bit of fitness I'm a solo creature and I don't give a damn. I'm just out there doing my thing. Yeah. Trying not to, you know, trying to keep a little bit of fitness. Should stretch more.

Oh, you're same. Should stretch more. You're same. Can't be bothered. Once I'm done, I'm done. Yeah, it's hard to convince yourself to hang around for another 15 minutes. Oh, no. But the next day you'll feel it and you'll always say, I should stretch more and then you don't and then your back's sore

and then that's just getting old. But the ladies at the gym said to me, you should do this gym challenge because all you do, your cardio, you do your running and you do the steps machine. Because you just go to the gym and watch TV shows. You're looking good though, it's working for you. Yeah, it is. I'm a cardio. You're a hot piece of ass. And you're getting through those TV shows. You're looking good though. It's working for you. Yeah, it is. I'm a cardio.

You're a hot piece of ass. Thanks. And you're getting through those TV seasons. Man, am I cranking through some TV. Chowing, yeah. I've watched four and a half seasons of a TV show called The League that I've always been told I'd really enjoy and I do really enjoy it and man, I'm humming through it. And you have only watched that at the gym.

Yep. That's wild. Yeah, I don't really watch too much TV at home. No. You're a father and a farmer. Mostly at the gym. Father, farmer. So there's always something to do.

And so they said, do the steps challenge. And I was reluctant, but I was talked into it. And then, oh God, he's been going on about it. And he took it so seriously. This is why I said to them, I don't do challenges. And this is a reason I stopped playing sport. I'm too, it gets in my head and I get really angry if someone's better than me. Like I am.

But then I've practiced and they're just naturally better. Yeah. But so when I'm just competing against myself, it's fine. Yeah. Because I can only get angry at myself and that motivates me to keep going. Yeah. So anyway, I hit the ground running with the steps challenge. Day one, disaster.

I'm like 10,000 steps in and then Sade calls me and our dog Lulu is having this like seizure. My first thought was, well, this is going to interrupt my steps.

See, and that's what's wrong with me. I should be like, our beloved family pet of 17 years is unwell. I can't believe that dog is still alive after these seizures.

How is she? So like, back to what she was before the seizure. The dog won't die. She's immortal. The dog will not die. It's a zombie. I believe she is already dead.

She's the undead. She's patient zero in the zombie virus. Yeah. Without the aggression. Just the licks and a bit blind and deaf. But anyway, that was my first indicator that the competitiveness was coming back. Yeah. And I've been to the gym every day this September.

Yeah. Like even weekends. Even September 11th. September 11th, I ran. I ran for the... Ran for the troops. Ran for the... Whoever.

I was running. Yeah. I ran and I've been running and I've been running and I keep... I'm not in the group chat. There's a group chat. I don't want anybody to know that. But I just send my results directly to a person at the gym and I give them how many I've done

that day and my running total. There's a real trip system. There's a screen cap. You have to send a screen cap of my steps, which is from my watch logged into my phone. I've got your receipts because we all follow each other on our Apple Watches and you're doing 20,000 steps a

day minimum. Yeah, you're doing 20,000 steps a day minimum. Yeah, my average is 22,000 steps a day. So I'll do like up to 15 or so Ks at the gym, and then I go home and I just get outside and I do dumb things like I've got to ride on lawnmower, but I'll mow the lawns with a manual lawnmower with a catcher on it, mostly because it's wet, but also because it increases my steps. This is a problem problem I become obsessed with things

and up till yesterday you were messaging like guys I'm winning guys I'm winning I'm winning guys and I'm like where are we at

because I'm not in the group chat I say to my gym contact where are we at I'm winning yesterday she messages me and says

I've got some unfortunate news oh no oh no you are 9000 steps behind Callum She messages me and says, I've got some unfortunate news. Oh, no. Oh, no. You are 9,000 steps behind Callum. Oh, my goodness. This doesn't include yesterday's steps.

Callum was on 245,000. This is the race to 300,000, by the way. Oh, my God. You don't have long to go. I'm on 236. Now, yesterday I did 25,000 steps. So I'm, you know. That's a lot. I'm pumped.

I'm up. Now, I have got 38,223 steps to go as of first thing this morning until I've hit 300,000. You're going to have to do a marathon. You're just going to have to do a. That's exactly what it requires today. Because you have to be first. I have to be first. I have to win.

Now, Callum is apparently also on holiday. So he's doing those holiday steps. You know when you're on holiday and at the end of the day you're like, my feet are sore. And you look and you're like, 35,000 steps. You're like, I didn't stop all day. Yeah, because you walked around Disneyland or something. This makes perfect sense.

Okay. Now, did you notice in the group chat, Hayley, yesterday, Vaughn, because you've done some stalking of your new nemesis. I believe there was a few. So what I did is I went to our gym's Instagram page and I searched people who follow that page called Callum. There were three possibilities. I narrowed it down to the dude with the ripped bod

because that's the only person that could beat me. Yeah. And do you see the photo of him? Yeah. Are you team see the photo of him? Yeah. Yeah. Are you team Callum now as well? No, I'm just, I'm team Vaughn. Guys, you're supposed to be in it for the people who don't look like that.

This guy is getting everything he wants. With a body like that, he just does whatever. I mean, he doesn't do whatever. He obviously diets and eats right and exercises and has a bit of a plan. But he's just not some tubby 41-year-old. We hate him. Who has to wear plasters over his nipples because he has sensitive nipples. Very sensitive.

And the sweat in the shirt and the rubbing hurts. I'm doing this for the everyday man. Yeah. I'm doing this for the everyday man and woman, child. Okay. That never had prolific natural athletic prowess. You see, now Ryan, Maddie's husband, is messaging, he wants a photo of Callum.

He wants to see Callum. God damn it! I'm going to lose the gays! All the gays in the group chat were very quickly abandoning you yesterday when they saw this hot Callum. It was a test also to see what meant more to the gays in the group chat.

Abs or friendship. And I tell you what, they chose abs every time. It's unlike gays to be superficial. It was unbelievable. He's the perfect bod, eh? Like the perfect kind of muscly. Thank you. Oh, him.

Yeah. Right. I was going to say mine. It looks like low maintenance. It looks like I'm not going to become obsessed with it. We're going to be able to eat. We're going to have treats. Slightly larger in the nips.

Yeah. Thank you. No nip shame. No, no. It's not nip shame. It's not nip shame. It's purely an observation of the nip. Just an observation.

But in this guy, yeah. Well, keep us updated. I hope he had a blowout on holiday and he's behind a day. Yeah. And then all it's going to take for me today is I've got chafing between the arse, you wouldn't believe. I had to bepant for myself last night like I was a baby with nappy rash. Get up the vas horn. Today I'm going to absolutely, there will be zero friction in my run today because I'm going to be so heavily vacillated in the crotch area.

Why are you sitting and talking now? Shannon has an idea for you. I'm not, I'm standing. I'm standing and I'm going back. Shannon has an idea for you. I'm not, I'm standing. I'm standing and I'm going back. Shannon has an idea for you to increase your steps. What is the idea? So if you change your height in the Apple settings, it'll double your steps

because it'll think the strides are double steps. No, it'll just change your distance, not your step. It measures the step by impact, but this many impact on your stride would mean it would be more distance, less step. He's clearly thought of this already, Shannon. He's clearly thought of this already. I get my short friend to wear my Fitbit sometimes to up my steps.

Your friend? Yeah, because they've got a smaller gate. They've got a smaller gate. Yeah, they've got a smaller gate. So they've got to keep up with you. But your gate won't change. Okay, well, maybe we'll wear your Apple Watch then. We can take turns.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He's not cheating. No one's moving as much as he is. I'm winning the right way. Well, stay tuned, listeners, because we've only got a day or two to find out who wins this challenge. And as we've heard, Vaughn's chafing.

My vote's on Vaughn. I'm chafing, but I'm unstoppable. And this is why I don't do things. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. More than a dozen people have been killed Unstoppable. And this is why I don't do things. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. More than a dozen people have been killed by singing this song. This is from the Philippines. Oh, my God.

It's raining men. Because then the Philippines government's like, no, it is not. Bang, bang, bang. Oh, okay. This is actually a much darker story. Bang, bang, bang. Oh, okay. This is actually a much darker story. Okay, this is what I thought it was. That the song was so hard that they went, ha, and then they died. No, a group of people were singing this particular song,

which is now called the deadliest karaoke song in history, and they were slain. They were murdered. Yes, yeah. While they were singing Frank Sinatra's My Way. I did it my way. So it causes fights when people attempt this with karaoke. Why? This is what people have worked out.

I don't know. So people just hate it. And there's like a series of different murders. Not all these people. Like some people were singing it in And there's like a series of different murders. Not all these people. Like some people were singing it in pairs. Some people were singles. And through the years, men have been shot to death at a karaoke bar

for singing My Way. Someone was killed by his neighbour while he was singing My Way at his birthday bash. People are just... I've got it here in the background, Fletch. Oh, wait, wait, what about... Oh, Hayley's on. Oh, have you got an ad?

Hayley, I'm shutting down Zoom. No, Hayley's on Zoom. There you go. Shut the fuck up. I can hear you. I can hear me. I'm leaving that meeting. Bye.

Also, I am really angry I've had to use Zoom every day this week. Well, because I can't just talk to a voice. I need to see your gorgeous face. No, they're giving you lockdown. Give me flashback. Lockdown. Lockdown.

Flashback. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Satellite Radio. You all give it up for the boom boom. Slow. Calm.

Lovely voice. But it's been attributed to so many murders. That is what gives it the title the deadliest karaoke song. Yeah, 12 murders so far in the Philippines alone. This is terrible. And that's not counting all the time. So maybe if you're out this weekend. This song has been murdered by people as well.

Yeah, yeah. It has been. A lot of murder in general around this song. Seth MacFarlane sung this as a rat in the movie Sing. Seth MacFarlane, Family Guy creator and main voice. Yeah, he's got a great voice. Phenomenal singing voice.

Yeah, but he's a pain in the butt. Why did he do this and you had it lined up next at karaoke? My way. See ya, see ya later. Actually, I'm going to

have to stop you there. That's copyrighted. Suzy Cato's a very good friend of mine. She's already sued me twice, so if you could maybe get her to drop her litigious action, that would be great. Tell her I'll review her five stars if she does the same for this podcast. And then she tells all her friends.

And if you're listening, maybe give it five stars as well. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
