From the ZM Podcast Network.
This is Fleshwood and Haley's Big Pod.
Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse.
The biggest brands of the lowest prices.
ZM's Fleshworn and Haley.
Hello, good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch Fawn and Haley.
Haley joining us from the ZM Broadcasting Tower in Melbourne, Central.
Yep.
Right up top of that tower.
Right from Chinatown.
Are you staying in Chinatown?
I'm saying in the Hald.
Heart of Chinatown, yeah.
I'm literally...
Lovely.
Oh, it's so good.
Went out for a delicious
succulent Chinese meal.
Yeah, in Melbourne last week.
No, no, no, no, no.
I was working.
I had a...
I've got half a succulent Chinese meal
in my fridge and I just got a coffee out before
and I was like, I'm going to have that,
I reckon about 8 a.m.
For breakfast.
I don't know if I could go coffee straight into Sweden, South pork.
Yeah.
I'd follow up.
I'd need sort of a buffer.
Yeah.
You reckon?
You reckon this is going to be good on sort of day seven of barley
Belly?
Yeah, I mean, we've got to lose.
I don't know if I'd be going to Chinatown with Barley Belly, to be honest.
Coffee in a Chalban.
Yeah.
I'd fight fire with fire and send the, you know, the food bacteria in to get rid of the
barley belly bacteria.
You wrote a real, yeah, right, could fight each other.
Why not?
Why not?
Chance to win this morning.
$10 suburb, $1,000 street, thanks to one roof, we'll play just after 7 o'clock.
Coming up the top six, phone?
Yeah, the top six questions I've got for AI Jesus.
There's a boom and AI
Boom and like religious apps
Religious AI
And this one's a pay per use
Okay
It wouldn't be like religions to be
Trying to make money or something was it?
I thought religious people use Jesus every day
Yeah but now you can talk to computer Jesus
I guess and he actually answers back
So I'll have the top six questions
I've got for AI Jesus
Next on the show though
With everything that's happening in the Middle East
And fuel prices
Crazy
An airline
in Europe has done something.
And this better not catch on here.
The Flet's one in Haley, big pod.
A budget airline, which I believe is, it's a Spanish budget airline.
Voleteer.
They can do a budget one.
Voleteer?
Voleteer.
V-O-L-T-E-A.
I don't know if that's.
You just say with an accent and...
It sounds like volatile.
What is my plane name?
translate into her in English?
Is Voloteer a real airline?
Is one of the frequently asked questions?
Have you ever looked at booking flights
you've been going on holiday and you're like,
what airline is that?
And then you Google it and you're like, oh.
Nah, man, because mine mostly is just Air New Zealand.
Oh.
Yeah.
Well, it doesn't have a direct translation from Spanish.
It's a created name derived from the Spanish verb,
revoluteer, to fly around flutter or hover.
Oh, okay.
That's great.
It's quite clever.
So it's just like fly.
Flutter airlines.
If you've been having an airline, calling it fly would be sort of makes sense, doesn't it?
Well, so many airlines have fly in them, don't they?
Yeah.
Fly.
Give me five examples.
He can't.
He just says these things.
The media, guys.
I'm exposing them.
I would say more airlines have the word air in them than fly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
None have crash.
And that's a bold move.
Not a single one's but crash.
So you don't even know that.
but I think it's safe to say.
Fly, fly,
uh, fly big in India.
I've never heard any of these.
Fly, fly 91.
Fly 91.
Fly 91.
That's our radio station.
Is it?
Fly 91.
Fly my sky.
Fly my sky.
See, there's a few airlines.
None I've heard of.
Right.
Pegasus fly, fly my sky.
Oh, that's a defined.
You could just say anything.
Yeah.
Fly there, fly back.
Fly, fly fly, fly home.
Fly home.
Okay, well, anyway, my point is that this,
budget Spanish airline,
is now asking passengers, even those passengers that have already paid for flights months ago,
to pay a little bit more because the fuel's real expensive.
Oh. Excuse you, that's not my problem.
So they say that they will deny boarding to anyone that doesn't pay an extra seven euros to fly
because jet fuel's gone up so much.
Can you do that retrospectively?
Like, surely there's some kind of consumer thing here where I've paid for a product?
That's the price of the game?
Do you ever read the terms and, you know, the carriage,
what do they call them the carriage?
Terms and Conditions?
I think the C stands for conditions, not carriages.
No, there's like a name for like, there's like a name for like airline.
Yeah, it's like the, you just agree to it when you buy the ticket.
There's probably something in there that they can add on.
If we crash, we're entitled to whatever's in your handbag if you die.
Yeah, and your organs.
People are raising the point that, you know,
You didn't exactly refund passengers when fuel got cheaper.
Sorry, that's silly.
Why would they do that?
That's what I mean.
It's like, isn't that part of business is that you weather out the highs and lows?
Well, exactly, yeah.
Shut up, Greenie.
I don't even know if that was the left one.
I don't even feel if that was that left.
I don't even feel a bit more right, if anything.
So if you get to the gate and you don't pay your, what is it, seven euro, you're not on the plane?
Yeah, well, that's what they're saying.
And then some consumers are saying, well, is this, like, illegal?
because, you know, under French law, a fuel surcharge is not a tax.
It's part of the ticket price.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
So they're, I don't know.
But, yeah, they're obviously...
Is it being investigated or they're just going to try it?
So how much is that extra?
Seven pounds.
Euro.
Yeah, because they're in the EU, there's all these rights and, you know, consumer laws.
So it's about 14 New Zealand dollars currently?
So you're talking an airport beer?
Yeah.
Oh, see, I'd rather spend my money on an airport beer to make my flight a more enjoyable experience.
Yeah.
What about?
What about airport beer?
Maybe they've got some sort of combo go and get some hot chippies as well.
Airport muffins.
They're 14, about 14 bucks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You get a nice sort of souvenir or something like that, a small key one to take away.
Well, I'm just saying it's started.
It's started.
So it better not happen here.
You don't even think about it to all of our airline-owning listeners.
Yeah, all of the board of Air New Zealand who regularly turn in to listen to the show.
To USA Good Morning.
don't you dare.
The Fletch morning, Haley, big pod.
Well, I mean, I've lived close to this mall a couple of times.
I know Fletch, you've lived within Kui.
This sort of been your closest mall for a few years.
Glenfield Mall on the North Shore of Auckland is for sale.
It's quite iconic Glenfield Mall.
It is.
I was reading the history of it.
It was Auckland's first, or the North Shores, maybe, fully enclosed mall.
Oh, how to run.
Yeah, she had a roof.
Fancy.
It's so weird.
It's so weird that you hear a maulers for sale.
Yeah.
You know, like, it's just not one of those things you...
That comes up.
Yeah, you just think they're always owned.
So it used to be owned by Westfield, and Westfield sold it out of the Westfield group.
Oh, why does they...
It is independent, eh?
Yes.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, yeah.
It's not a Westy.
It says that Ross and Dallas Pendergrass have put it up for sale.
Oh, yeah.
And so I had to look...
Classic Ross.
Ross.
Classic Ross.
They're on the, a lot of their stories are on the NBR.
Oh, are they like, oh, yeah, okay, rich lists.
Oh, okay, pot.
Yeah, yeah.
Imagine owning a mall.
Yeah, be weird.
Do you think you get a special park?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right next to the parents with babies.
I reckon they're disabled.
Yeah, yeah.
And then owners.
And then owners, yeah.
And then owners.
And if someone's in your car, there's a button and it just disappears, ejects the car.
Yeah.
It sends it off to space.
Yeah.
Because when I was a student, I lived on the North Shore of Auckland,
and Glenfield was the local mall.
Yeah, because back...
Back in the day...
Used to go as $8.
Yeah, back in the day, that was where students lived
and I lived because it was so cheap.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
This was the, where I, they used to do $2 big max on Tuesday.
Oh.
So I'd take 10 bucks in and get five Big Macs.
That was lunch.
Oh.
And the place where I first attempted, the first of three attempts and three successes,
what I called the full pounder.
It's where you buy four quarter pounders
and you squeeze it as to one burger and eat them such.
Oh.
It was a big unit in the student days.
He was a unit.
You knew how to make the most of it?
Because they would have been on special too.
Yeah.
I can remember taking my Nokia 3310 in
because the screen wasn't working.
Oh, yeah, yeah, okay.
Well, now, how much...
Yeah, I was going to say, is there an indication on price?
How much does a moral cost?
It's inquiries.
It's inquiries.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, but what do you mean inquire?
Do we come in?
at 100 grand and go from there
and start banding it about?
They're saying it's the first
sort of mall for sale since the Manaco
Super Centre sold, which I didn't know
the Monaco Super Centre in sold.
Right. Do you know how much that sold for?
$161 million.
Yes, $161 million.
That's the largest retail transaction
in over a decade. I'm just having a look.
It's got a Hollywood bakery.
So when we're putting in our offer, we need to consider that.
Sausage rolls.
First time I ever saw Dye Henry do stand-up
comedy was at that bar up the top of
Glenfield Mall. I was like, odd gig. Well, technically it was at the mall,
but it was the bar, what was that bar up the top
of Glenfield Mall in the 2000s? That's seen some things.
Dude, that bar was, yeah.
Okay, well, if you've got a spare, I'm guessing what,
$150 to $200 million. I don't know.
It's a quiet market. Hey, it's a quiet market.
If we were to buy this mall, Fletch for and Haley's Glenfield Mall,
what we just all of a sudden found some money.
Yeah, I don't know.
We talked about winning lotto.
We talk about how set would be winning lotto
if we won at 20 million or whatever.
Yeah.
We'll get the mall.
It wouldn't even buy a bloody mall.
But what shop would you insure was in there?
You'd insist on it.
Oh, like that was my term of the purchase.
You're like, yes, I'll go in as a co-owner,
but it has to have a...
Yes, and I get everything free in there.
Any time I go in.
Probably just a safe market.
That's a really good question.
I love to need big games, but RIP.
Yeah, RIP.
RIP to the E.B.
I've been passed an EB games at a mall the other day
and it was just bought it up.
The new market.
Yeah, the new market one.
They haven't filled that, eh?
Yeah.
It's weird walking past that.
Because normally malls put up a thing
and they put up a sign on it.
Yeah, like it's to hide the shame of an empty store.
I might get a Pop Mart.
You know, the Lubbos or whatever the...
Yeah.
Plastic shit's been sold.
Get the kids in.
Oh, God, I know.
I'd insist that there was a Chinese mass
such place that was so hard that you cried when you got it, but you're too polite to say
a little bit lighter place.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, magic fingers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was it Mavericks?
I just had a message.
Was it Mavericks bar up the top?
Yeah, that's ringing a bell.
It had a Texan sort of a Western...
Yeah, that's ringing a bell.
Cowboy theme, didn't it?
Goodness me.
Bloody Mavericks.
All right, well, we better do some bloody fundraiser.
Well, there, if you've got some money, buy them all.
The Z&M Podcast Network.
Now, we think the Gen Zs are doing so much right.
Pulling back, caring where it matters, just quiet quitting, prioritising their house.
I'm not on board with the headphones on a cord.
What is going on there, right?
We worked so hard to get rid of that.
We were so hard for wireless Bluetooth, you know.
You're so ungrateful.
We did that.
We got rid of that cord.
There was nothing like snagging that thing and having those things rip out of your earholes to really ruin a day.
And go,
I'm going,
but our Gen Z is,
sometimes,
and we love them,
they're a little bit lost,
you know?
Yeah.
They get a little bit confused.
We just use Shannon as an sort of overall example.
You know,
she's so intelligent in some ways,
and then just a lost little lamb in others.
And as Shannon,
I'm saying,
with love.
Yeah, you know,
sometimes it's crazy to me
that I could, like,
rattle on about,
like,
the, you know,
Russian revolution,
but I had to look up
how to boil
an egg.
Yeah, yeah.
And here the problem lay.
Girls missing there.
Yeah, the problem layeth right here.
The cooking thing, you're being left behind,
which is surprising, I would have thought that,
I don't know with the invention of the internet,
there's sort of no excuse not to know how to cook anymore.
Yeah, but their parents didn't want them hurting themselves in the kitchen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they didn't smack them.
They didn't smack them.
So it's just a mess.
It's just a mess.
And you're all locked up for most of your developing years.
Why can't?
and Zee is cook. Well, I cooked as
a kid. Like, I can make
edible food. Wait, do you got worse
since you were a kid? Yeah, yeah, I've definitely got
him worse. I think I just learned how to make
one of each thing. And then
I've never strayed out. So, like, I've
told you guys and we'll talk about it another
time, but I've learned corn fritters for
the first time. And I've just, like,
I never thought of, like, oh, I could
try, learn something new.
Yeah. It's just like, frozen corn and
flower. And water. Well, you're also, like, there's
there's so much trial and error with
cooking big things. It's expensive as...
Yeah, that's the other thing.
Like, I know I could just get $5 of mints and I'm fed.
And you know how to cook it and you're done, yeah.
Whereas corn fritters, man, I just wasted like 10 bucks.
And were they crap, were they bad?
Yeah.
Oh, well, you know, I tell you, just a little shout at to my mom,
Patsy cooks a bloody good corn frisher.
Crispy, crunch, flavorful.
So you wouldn't be the only one in an exploration phase
because this is something that Gen Z are doing.
They're branching out.
They are.
One in three Gen Z's admit that they lack basic
cooking knowledge.
One in four say they don't even really know
what a dish should taste like.
They make it, they're like, I think that's bolliganase.
Their go-to-mills are air-friar nuggets,
which isn't cooking.
That's boring and waiting.
It's cold to hot.
By definition of cooking.
I'm sorry, she's got me here.
She's got you.
So you've got me on that.
And a ham and cheese toasty, which I'm not mad about.
I'm not mad about, but it's not really cooking.
I don't know how to do flavors.
That's my other big thing.
I've discovered, this is something new.
God, if I think there were, like, packets of flavors.
Well, this is what I've discovered.
Magi packets.
I can just buy a packet of Mexican seasoning.
I just put that on everything now.
Every vegetable, everything I cook, I'm just like, well, there's lots of flavor in that,
and I know it's yum.
So now, there you go.
So you buy nacho seasoning and just put it on some veggies.
Everything, yeah.
My corn fritters were, like, Mexican.
Oh, I'm not mad about that.
But here's the thing, though, so as part of this biggest study,
at how Gen Z are cooking.
Sorry, 22 out of 31 essential nutrients are missing from most Gen Z diets
because they don't know how to cook with anything but air-friing nuggets and ham and cheese
toasties.
And I'm sorry, but it's severely lacking in nutrients.
So what they're doing?
It's the return of scurvy.
Scurvy's back, baby.
We're getting Ricketts and scurvy are back, baby.
No, what they're doing, bless their curious little brains, is they're turning to TikTok,
to learn how to cook, and not just from like chefs, but from grand fluid.
like little grandmas.
Oh, that's pretty cute.
So there's one woman, she's 78 years old.
She's called Nonnafina.
She's got like half a million followers
and she cooks with her granddaughter.
So she's teaching her granddaughter
how to cook on TikTok.
I'm assuming the daughter's doing all the filming
and the smartphone and the editing.
I don't think non is on the bloody.
Editing out,
non is racism.
Yeah. So it's, so they're saying
that it's not that they're lazy
and don't want to learn how to cook.
They just have a lack of opportunity.
Food tech.
They weren't taught that at school,
whereas we were.
Yeah, food's too expensive
for trial and error
so they'd rather do something easy
that they know taste good.
Yeah, right.
Influences, they're getting their little nannas
and nonas and everything
on TikTok and Instagram
and they're learning to cook from them.
There you go, buy a Mexican sashet,
branch out of some flavors.
Get some vegetables.
Get on TikTok.
We just chark a veggie in there, guys.
The Zatamp Podcast Network.
Play Zer.
It ends. Fletch Fawn and Haley.
From the Fletchforn and Haley group chat, this is the top six.
Well, Jesus has joined the chat, and by chat, I mean, the conversation you're having with your choice of AI to take care of a redundant task that you don't really want to do, but you kind of have to do, but you can just palm it off.
Yeah, there's a rise in faith-based AI apps that charge you by talking to Jesus, a Buddha.
Oh, wait, you can talk to me.
You can talk to Buddha.
You can talk to Buddha.
I didn't know you could talk to Buddha.
So one of the AI chatbox
are chosen offers a package deal at $4999
US dollars for 45 minutes a month.
I know.
Like this is your thing.
Once again.
Once again.
Once again, once again, they're not saying that it's Jesus.
They're just saying it's all.
Once again, just taking money from people
based on what they believe.
Like, it's so stupid.
Just pray.
If praying your thing, just do that.
don't pay to do it.
Another chapbot offering $1.99 a minute, just like me,
where you can talk to AI Jesus.
Oh, Beouda.
Behuda. You'd do a quick prayer, wouldn't you?
You'd write it all down first.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'd want to go into that prepared.
I'd have a timer.
I'd have a time up.
It's like when you book a spell.
It's like when you book a spell with the doctor, you know, take your shopping list in.
You know Dr. Shawnee's told you they don't like that.
They don't like that.
No.
I've books for one thing, but while I'm here.
Yeah.
Yeah, so.
Yep.
Give me nine prescriptions.
Yeah, and those cheap panadoles
Paracetamol.
We need a box of Dr. Panadoles.
Yeah, Dr. Panadoles.
Off-brand parasitamoles.
500 milligram parasitamols.
Yeah.
Top up the soaps while you're there.
Yeah, might as well.
Yeah.
Might as well.
Well, I got the top six questions I have for AI Jesus
is my top six today.
Brother.
Brother.
Number six, Jesus, I'm going to need you to share
that water to wine recipe.
Yeah, that is certainly making.
things cheaper, wouldn't it?
It would be, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
I meant it'd be pretty bad at first.
One cup water.
Yeah, one cup water and then grapes
and then fermentation.
I'd be like, oh.
Yeah, come on.
I thought you just did it immediately.
Number five on the list of the top six questions I'd have for AI, Jesus.
Why are you so white, given you were born in the Middle East
2,000 years ago?
Yeah, I reckon they'd have hot brown skin, to be honest.
I reckon it would have been...
Yeah, it'd be hot brown, eh?
Rather than being maybe a bit skinny for me, because you know,
like a man of meat, I think just would have a bit of meat.
Yeah.
would have been a bit of me.
But they didn't have the ultra-processed food.
Then Haley, they weren't that big.
I like my men to have had a few burgers, for sure.
Yeah, no.
Jesus is ripped.
When he used to be up on the cross when I used to go to Catholic Church.
Yep.
He was ripped, man.
Was your...
He'd leave, like sort of bony thighs.
Yeah, was he hot brown skin, light eyes or...
White marble, hard to tell, race, but the face was definitely letting white features.
Okay.
Parking on the fourth.
Number four on the list of the top six questions I have for AI.
Jesus, have you heard of Birkenstocks?
Because you're going to love them.
I know, if he'd got in early on Birkenstocks.
He was a Roman sandals.
Yeah.
It's very straight.
Way less strappy sandal guy.
Yeah, yeah.
Way less buckles.
Way less buckles.
Number three on the list of the top six questions I'd have for AI Jesus.
What washing liquid do you use to get your toga white?
So white.
I reckon it's just bleat.
And a bucket of bleach.
Yeah.
Really?
He uses a sard stick.
No.
He's a sard stick guy.
He's a bleat.
I love a sard stick.
We're a sad show.
Yeah.
But you think he was just going for a sort of a...
I think he goes bleach.
Chlorine-based bleach.
Genola.
Wow.
Skids.
Yeah.
He'd have skids.
He didn't have undies back then.
He was one of the people.
He didn't have bones.
You'd shit yourself if you were up on a cross and everyone was looking at you.
You'd have some skids.
Yeah, you'd definitely have some skids.
Number two on the list of the top six questions I have for AI Jesus.
Easter or Christmas?
Oh yeah.
What's your favourite holiday?
I mean, one, probably the one where he didn't die, I reckon.
No, because he got three days off.
No one was like, oh, Jesus, constantly.
You know, the minute he heals the blind and the limp and whatever.
If you die in a stat holiday, do you get a day in lieu?
Yeah, and time and a half.
That's where he took three days.
He was milking the stat days.
Yeah, because Good Friday was a public holiday.
Technically, Easter Sunday is not a public holiday because it's always on a Sunday.
Okay.
I would have taken off till Tuesday if I were him.
Just saying.
But I'm lazy.
Yeah, you are.
And number one on the list of the top six questions I have for AIGs.
Terminal childhood illnesses, please discuss.
It's a tough one.
Tough one.
Famine.
Your thoughts.
Yeah.
What was the sort of brainstorming around that?
Hmm.
Yeah.
What are we doing there?
Well, for $1.99 a minute.
I can ask these questions.
You can ask these questions.

Are you able to pull over, Shantel, just so we can get an exact number or a corner?
Just so we can check.
Just one moment.
Just going around a rubbish track, hold the line.
Yeah, you want to go around.
I'm going around.
Yes, you want to go around.
Yeah.
I tried to go through one once.
Didn't even well, did it?
Didn't even well, did it?
Didn't even well, yeah.
That was in a past life, was it?
Yeah, and then, yeah.
Okay.
Okay, what do you see around you just as you park up?
My house.
Oh, okay, well, let's not give out your address.
Are you on the way home?
Have you just been for a drop off?
What took you out of the home so early this morning?
Jim this morning.
Oh, good on you.
Thank you.
I can't get it out there.
It's hard when it's...
No friend Mike owns a gym in the area.
Maybe we can hook you out with free membership.
Just give away.
You know not the free membership.
It's half far away, mate.
Yeah.
Sorry, Mike, suck it.
What, suck it.
We're not giving away a free membership to the gym that wants to people pay for.
Okay, well, we'll have another.
Well, next time we talk to someone from Havelock North, we'll hop them up with nice.
Okay.
Now, Shantel, give us a number on that street, not yours though, but just.
Whereabouts you?
are.
31.
Okay, what color is the roof?
We're just going to get this up on street view.
What color is the roof?
It's an iron roof.
Okay.
Long run, long run, corrugated?
What do we?
Corrugated.
Corrugated, nice.
Like a standard, a standard corrugated.
What are you seeing there, Vaughn?
Yeah, I was saying standard corrugated.
Okay, how many windows are on the left side of the front door of, of, oh, wait.
Am I looking at 31?
One.
One windows.
One windows?
One windows.
Is it one windows?
Is she there?
She's in...
It's massive.
She's in the suburb?
It is.
It is one big massive windows.
She's in the suburb!
That's fantastic news.
You've won $10.
Guantelle for Vourn's $10 suburb, but
right now we're going to open up the envelope for $1,000 street.
Now, if you're on the street, you win the $1,000.
We've been close.
Yesterday we were far away, weren't we?
Oh, miles away. She was never going to win it.
She almost owed us $1,000.
She was so far away.
Just again, Chantel, what street are you on?
Robinson Creeds.
Born on the New Zealand Post boundaries,
how many streets do you think are in the suburb?
Heaps.
Heaps, like, what, 100?
Heaps.
Well, it's predominantly a suburban suburb with some industry.
Schools.
But, yeah, there's some schools, and there's a high school and a primary school,
but there's lots of weaving.
Okay.
Quite a big suburb.
Quite a big suburb.
Well, I don't rate your chance.
It's all, Chantel?
No, me neither.
Okay.
Dare I say if you've been at the gym, I'm just looking at the map.
And you're on Robinson.
Today's 1,000 of a street.
No, it's not a street.
It's a, what is it?
It's a crescent.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Sealed surface.
Shantel, we can't call this.
Call the Shantel.
$10 suburb, $1,000 sealed surface?
Is that what you've been?
It does take into account.
Or would you like us to run through every possibility, Chantel?
Vorn's $10 suburb, $1,000 street,
present, present, Lai, Key, Lane,
yes, Glove.
We've got to have grove.
Heights, today, the $1,000 sealed surface
was York Ave.
Oh, no.
I'm just like, you probably went along York Ave at some stage this morning.
So close.
Yeah.
Did you go on?
talk ab this morning?
No, I actually go the other way because I go to a gym out of the suburb.
What?
Mike's.
Well, Mike's in Havelock more.
Mike's Jim and Havelock.
You go to Mike's Jim.
We can hook out with a free membership.
If anybody is in listening in Havelock, I want a free membership.
No, we can't.
No, we can't.
He's running a business warn.
Yeah, I'm giving him promotion.
This is how it works, baby.
It's a trade freebie.
He's getting free advertising.
We're running a business here too.
The ZNN Podcast Network.
Could you see your faded sign?
the side of the road that says
15 miles to a share
Shannon's hack baby
Yeah time for it
We've really got to get into the producers
You're really got to get in there and get that
And I sort of didn't sing because there's like a demi-second delay
Yeah
Well I'm getting in that booth
Producer Shannon joins us for a Shannon's hack
Yes
And what does your hack today? What does it involve?
Well I was tossing up between two
I had a rice hack but after my
You know trail run with cooking
I decided to go different route
So today...
Trail run.
We should have just let her.
We should have just left it.
You're going to leave it.
Well, trail runs where you go for a run in like...
Dangerous, man. Uneven surfaces.
Yeah, like roots and stuff are sticking out and mud.
Sometimes...
That's kind of like how my cooking is.
Just accept the things. We can't change.
I've got a cleaning hack today.
Okay.
Now, this one's been going on...
Been going viral online at the moment.
So I bring it today to the FM...
So it's not original. This is plagiarized.
No, but I've tried it.
Normally I don't try my hacks first.
This is it just spray and wipe?
No, no, no, no.
Okay.
So, you know when you get home?
I'm trying, hold on pause for just a moment.
Actually, fine white really works.
I'm trialing a new fragrance, spray and wipe.
Oh.
Are you brand loyal?
Because I don't do any of the sprays.
I don't care about the brand.
Actually, you know what?
I don't think it is even spray and wipe.
It's just become so.
What flavor?
Because I like the green apple.
I love, like, a lime, green apple.
That smells like clean.
This one's more of a laundry scent.
And I tell you what, it's really throwing the sense in that.
A laundry scent.
It smells.
I love a fresh cotton scent.
Yeah, I love that.
It smells like a yelang yelang.
Well, what is the brand in the flavour?
Man, I can't remember.
It's very, very florally.
Who are you?
Sometimes if I'm low on perfume, I will use the spray and wipe apple as, because it's such a lovely fresh scent.
Oh, it's so fresh.
After the gym, I'll get myself a couple of spray and wipes in the sweatier bits.
Yeah, yeah.
Apple and baking soda really keeps the odour in day.
Yeah, it does.
Yeah.
What is your hack then?
So you know when you get home from work and you're getting undressed from the day and you go to put your dirty washing in the washing basket?
Or if you're me, I don't own one of those.
It's just straightening the machine.
We just go in.
So my hack for you today is just before you are de-clothed for the day.
I just want you to put your foot in your sink and just get a little bit of...
Hand-fire.
Too high.
Stop.
Grow up, get flexible.
So put your foot in the sink and just put a little bit of water on you.
your toe. Just a little,
just to dampen your toe in your sock.
And then I want you to just give a quick
hoon around your house on the skirting boards.
Stupid.
No, with your foot.
Oh, okay.
You just drag your foot along the skirting boards.
This would then make your sock dirty.
Yes, but it's dirty already.
Let's go for a watch.
I don't hate it as much as I should.
If you're not flexible,
you could always just get a bit of water on your hand
and dampen your foot that way.
But I like the theatrics of the foot in the sink.
bending over and cleaning the skirting boards and the baseball is horrible work.
It's the worst job.
But the problem is it's got to be a fluffy sock because otherwise the toes round and the square skirting board.
It's got to be a thick socks so you can push it in.
Yeah, you can push it in.
Kind of like those like winter bed socks that they make for you.
Yeah, but I don't want to wear those to work your very sweaty foot.
I'm prone to a little athlete's foot as you know.
We know.
Has that all we've been sorted on?
Yeah, it has thanks on.
The lamassel sorted that right out.
Thanks to our show sponsor, Chemis Warehouse.
Yeah.
Great to get a little lamsill on the toes.
My concern is, it's not bad.
That's what I was going to say.
I don't know if you've got a splintered skirting board.
What's wrong with your house?
You've got budget skirting boards.
I love in Meth Manor and I don't even have splinters in my skirting boards.
The wooden meth manner can't splinter.
It's too wet.
It's fluffed up.
It's damp and you're just adding to the front of my putting your wet, dirty sock on it.
Does everyone's not have mushrooms going through them?
No.
No.
No, no.
I don't hate this hack.
I don't hate it.
I don't hate it.
But also like, okay, now imagine, I'm going to sort of show you,
you got your sock out, and you're doing it like this.
Yeah.
Yeah, you kind of got a...
No, you've got to get a sweep on, you lose.
Yeah, you know, it's so hard to get a sweep on,
you're hopping around.
It'd be a real ick to come home and see your partner doing this
because it doesn't look too vulnerable.
Just putting a sock on your mop.
Yeah.
Or your broom.
You know, that's a good point.
I just like the whimsy of putting your foot in a sink.
and then just swush.
How low are the sinks in Meth Manor?
I'd struggle with my foot up.
I can get my foot pretty high.
Up into a sink.
Yeah, I could see.
I could get it up into my sink,
but I wouldn't like it.
See, born.
I'd go to the shower.
Shower.
Tada.
Wow.
Yeah, why not just run the shower
and dab in the shower?
That's a great way there.
No, because then your whole body is getting wet.
Have a him.
Have a him.
You're going to ASC.
You're going to fall over backwards.
Crack your head on the other side of Meth Man.
Have a hem.
I think this is at least a thing.
3.5. It's not as bad
as when she first told us to put our foot in a
base. I think it's a 3.2
for me? You go 3.2? Yeah. So then you go
4 and then it's 3.5 total.
No, he's not going 5. No, he's not going 4. It doesn't deserve 4.
I'd go a 3, actually, so
I didn't sit going that way.
I think we give it a 3.2. And that's generous.
Because there was some plagiarism.
And she didn't even come up with that.
Can I just really quickly tell you,
my rice one then just to see the same
real quick, real quick.
Instead of cleaning it in a sieve,
you know how the rice falls all through the sieve,
get your cocktail shaker,
shake it and then it strains out that way.
Oh, I hate that.
I'm going to have a stanchy,
bloody martini.
Yeah, by the way, I think washing rice,
because I'm not never been a huge rice cooker,
washing rice, scam.
Yeah, I don't wash mine and it's always fine.
Well, wait until you try my hack and put it in a cocktail shaker.
No, I simply won't.
And how much rice do you cook?
There's not going to be much rice.
once you've got the water in there to wash off the starch.
Yeah, no, that's ridiculous.
Well, washing rice.
We'll stick with the sock then.
Similar little pole, washing rice, scam or not scam.
And I thought of another silly little pole before, but now I can't remember it.
This is an obvious.
I thought of a silly little pole is loved dead, yes or no, get the vibe of the nation.
We could do that later in the week.
Yesterday, man, we were flip-flopper.
Okay, I've just asked, we've got an AI overview.
Watching rice is not a scam.
It is a scam.
It is a scam.
It's a scam.
Its necessity depends heavily on the type of rice
and the dish that you're preparing.
Can we hear 9-6-96 from our Asian listeners?
Because I hate that three white people are debating
whether a washing rice is a scam.
Whoa, whoa. Whoa.
Are you woing that I call you white people?
No, but what about our Latino listeners?
Rice are very important part of the carbohydrate diet.
Also, you had no problem as a white woman discussing Narn breads.
No, you were like...
Actually, you're quite right there.
You said no one knows Narn better than me.
Narn one out there.
I said no one makes a Narn like Haley Sprout.
Narned she said.
Narned she said.
Narned.
Yeah.
Okay.
You're right there.
I think because she, I think, I think, no, I go three because then she chucked in a shit rice hack.
Oh, so you've knocked her back through.
I've knocked her right back down to two point eight.
That's crazy, man.
Okay, we'll go for a three.
We'll go for a three there.
Let me find it.
There we go.
The outro, go the outro, go the outro.
Yeah, there we go.
Here we go.
If you see a fatted son.
at the side of the road
that says three stars max
for shares, baby.
The ZM Podcast Network
Play ZM's Flesh forne and Haley.
We want to know right now
what you've got a nickname for
for just doing something once.
You did it once.
You did it once.
It's the worst day when it sticks like that.
You're like, oh, let it go.
And it's all in how you react.
Because if you laugh it off,
you're less likely to get the nickname.
Yeah.
Well, the reason we ask is because it's coming up
10 years since the Putney Pusher incident in London.
Do you guys remember this?
I do.
I do.
The producing earlys didn't.
So maybe it's worth a recap that a man who has never been found.
To this day, never been caught.
It's going for a run.
There's CCTV footage of this guy.
Yeah, the bus is catch it because this guy is running
and just pass some random woman that he doesn't know
shoves her into the path of an oncoming bus.
Yeah.
So wild.
And luckily she's not killed.
I think she gets hit but then kind of shunted back onto the footpath.
I think thankfully the bus reacts really quickly, swerves around.
But it was this massive news story.
It was on all like British news out there's trying to find this guy who, you know,
maybe unbeknownst to him because he had headphones on,
this woman ended up in the path of a vehicle.
And the CCTV from the bus is the still images that they caught of the guy.
Like he's moving.
So they're blurry.
And it's, you know, 10 year ago camera quality,
bus camera quality,
you'd still have, like,
if that was you, Vaughn,
I'd be like, that's my mate, Vaughn.
That's Vaughn, yeah.
That's Vaughn, yeah.
And his running shorts and his posture and his face.
If Vaughn was the Putney Pusher,
and you saw the footage and you knew it was Vaughn,
you'd dobb him in?
I mean, I think enough people would, yeah.
Well, maybe not because no one.
I'd be like, no one.
In front of a bus, that's not cool.
Oh, my God, I didn't mean to him.
I've, like, well, go and tell them that.
Yeah.
And that's the thing, like, no one has come forward.
It's coming up 10 years, and that's why it's back in the news, the police are like,
oh, come on.
Like, does anyone know anything now?
Putney pusher, past by the Putney pusher.
The Putney pusher was probably thought he got away with it.
And then this pops up again.
He's like, brr.
And that's the right.
We were talking about the Putney Pursher, the story.
And producer, Shannon said, I don't think you can get a nickname after doing one thing.
Yeah.
I was like, yes, you can.
She said he needed to be a serial pusher.
He needed to push multiple people in multiple directions before you can get a nickname.
I said, no, all the best nicknames come from when you do something once.
And it sticks.
And that is the question we want to know this morning.
Oh, 800 dials at M. 9-696.
Already some great messages coming in.
Should we start with the Instagram?
Yeah, we asked on Instagram.
Nicole said, I wore large vintage sunglasses of the big day out and got sunburned.
Panda.
That's it.
Forever.
Oh, because you would have taken the sunglasses off and had big white rings.
They take years to fade out as well, don't they?
Yeah.
Yeah.
My name's cat.
I was only fat once, and I got called Kit Kat Chunky.

Tell us your nickname and the reason why you got this nickname after doing something just once.
I can smell Vaughn's banana from Melbourne, bro.
Disgusting.
In fact, that's Vaughan's nickname.
Banana.
Stinky banana.
and if I think it's his penis and we'll be like, yeah, you know what?
Sure.
So what nickname did you get for doing something just once?
Some of these messages are so good.
So good.
Let's start with Chelsea.
Chelsea, good morning.
What did you do once and get a nickname for?
I was in charge of doing her best director at work.
And I actually was a difficult to get in there.
My boss went up and thickens the whole kitchen was excited with troubles.
Sorry.
I was like, what do you?
Sorry, you just cut out at the start.
It was really hard to understand.
She was in charge of doing the dishes.
In charge of the dishes.
And instead of putting in powder, she put in dishwashing liquid.
That's what I picked up from.
And it was like filled with bubbles in the staff room.
And like all my colleagues, all the customers, now call me bubbles.
And this happened like five years ago.
Bubbles.
Bubbles is a cute nickname, no.
It's a cute nickname.
Yeah.
Better than stinky banana.
Yeah, yeah.
Bubbles.
Thank you, Bubbles.
Thank you, Chelsea.
Thank you, some more messages, Stinky Banana?
Yes, I will.
I'm made of my dad's as called Tree
because he played a tree in the primary school play.
They are in their late 70s
and he still gets called Tree.
Oh my God, that's amazing.
That's so good.
Nikki, what's the nickname that you got for doing something once?
It's my brother.
Okay.
So he got the name Chip Boy.
Shit boy.
And he's still, Nick, has still called that now by his friends.
And because I'm a sister, I'm known as a girl.
Shit girl.
Oh, no.
You didn't do anything.
You didn't do anything.
You didn't stand in the poo.
Oh, so good, Nikki.
Thank you.
Messages in.
I got snaggle tooth.
For once, I broke my tooth.
My friend got lunch because I told her she wasn't a snack.
She was a whole ass meal, so.
Her nickname's lunch.
Lunch.
She names lunch.
We've got a mate called.
squack because after a big knot on the
beers he was on the top bunk of the batch we're staying at
and decided to
play with himself
and he squawked
and then made on the lower bunk

just a minute you're going to
that door.
In kindergarten, I was acting the role of a cracker during a dental hygiene
skit that we were doing.
Cracker has been my...
I'm sorry, let's go back to this play about dental hygiene.
They're doing a dental hygiene skit.
Okay, little Timmy, you're going to be the dental floss.
Yeah.
And you're the cracker.
I hope they're wide.
Is the cracker in a villain or sort of an innocent...
Yeah.
It could be fun.
It just wedges itself in your teeth.
doesn't it?
Chocolate's probably going to be the villain
of the dental hygiene snack.
I would have thought a fruit burst or a minty
would have been the perfect villain for a pan to mine.
Lollies would be.
Because crackers are...
Crackers aren't out here near the head or they're on a tooth,
they've got big seeds.
Dental listeners, 9696,
crackers, where would they stand in the dental hygiene
skit? Would they be
good guys or bad guys?
Thank you.
Somewhat in between.
My nickname is 89.
I was setting out structural steel
and I was out by 89 millimeters.
which I guess is like a significant amount in the scale.
There's, yeah, that's a lot of millimeters.
Yeah, so builder's set is not too bad
is that's pretty much what a 90 by 45
would push in there and fill the gap.
Right, yeah.
Structural steel situation.
I dress up as Ron Weasley for a work event once.
Now no one calls me anything but Ron.
Oh.
My boyfriend boiled broccoli to the point of it becoming a mush.
His name?
Mush.
That's just how parents cooked in the 80s.
and 90s.
Boil it till it's brown.
You're going to get the green out.
Get all that yucky green out.
And the nutrients.
Yeah, and then make sure you tip that green water down the sink.
Oh, get it gone.
Yuck, yuck.
Why would we eat green?
I cried once when my family was in L.A.
I've been called Hollywood ever since.
I was nine.
That's so good.
That's so good.
Yeah.
I bought glasses.
I thought they looked good on me and I suited them.
And my manager the minute I walked in said, here he is Jeffrey Dahmer.
And now everyone's.
just calls me Jeffrey Dahmer or JT.
Wow.
A great nickname.
No.
Okay, my nickname is semi.
This is why I said,
I just had to read it.
Not because I've done anything,
but I had a male dancer for my hen's night
and he had a semi, you know,
professional.
So I got called semi.
Okay.
I got called Boots,
the monkey from Dora of the Explorer
because I was wearing big camping boots.
They mad lad sounds when I walked around
and happened once.
Yeah.
But boots are,
stuck. That's also a cute nickname. Yeah, go for that. I got a whole puke.
Because after we finished a 5K run wearing masks,
first time I did it, I stopped, I ran behind and spewed.
Into the mask? No, I forgot the mask. Right. But you did it once, and that's your
nickname. Puky.
Hmm. I'm Indian and my friends always ask if I could make a traditional Indian
here. Where's this going? I've pre-read. I've pre-read.
And they asked me to make a traditional Indian curry. I said, sure, and I made a but a chicken,
They all laughed a lot, and now I get called BC, 20 years.
But you can't go wrong with the butter chicken.
This is why I water it every time.
They want an authentic.
It is authentic.
It's not delicious and orange.
It's British, yeah.
It's authentic and orange.
Dentist here.
Dentist here.
Yeah, okay, here we go.
The crackers would have been a villain in the dental stint.
But not as much of a villain.
Just little bits, though. They all jam in.
Someone said, I ripped my gum on a cracker last week.
I considered them a villain.
A villain.
A little.
A little.
Milk or water would be the perfect hero in the superhero skit.
Okay.
Yeah.
So that's good.
We've just had a couple of people weighing on that.
That's good.
Fletch, did you have any sort of one-off nicknames?
Were you ruthlessly bullied at school?
No.
I don't have, no, not that I can remember.
And nothing rhymes with my name, unlike Haley Smalley.
Galey smells.
Gayly smells.
It was right there all long, wasn't us?
It was, yeah.
Play.
Flays, that ends
Fletchhorn and Haley
Fleth Fleth Fawn and Haley
Silly little pole
Silly little pole
It is so silly, silly, silly
That's silly
Silly little pole today
Is what app do you like to have your group chats on
All of the above?
Yeah, you just have the, I just have them on all of them
Well, Instagram chats are primarily for sending reels
Which if you're under 25
Those are TikToks that I stand the test of time
Curated.
Yeah, it's a curated.
You probably have to go through a lot of junk.
We're just sitting gold, gold, gold, gold, gold.
Sipped out the trash.
So that's for memes on Instagram.
WhatsApp for...
Private chats.
Private chats and Facebook for bigger groups, maybe.
Yeah, totally.
But what app do you like your group chats on?
Other was 5%.
How interesting.
Oh, what's other?
Like, I guess...
Snapchat?
Or you could do text groups or other messages.
Or other messages.
messaging apps, telegram.
Email chains.
Send this to 10 of your closest friends
or a young teenage ghost
will haunt you.
Yes.
Instagram was just above other at 6%.
Yeah.
27% for WhatsApp
and 62% of people
are having their group chats on Facebook.
Yeah.
Still doing it, eh? Still dominant.
Facebook Messenger.
I would love to just get rid of Facebook.
You can get rid of Facebook, but keep messenger, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, let's delve in to see what the people are saying.
Matt says telegram is the only thing.
not owned by meta.
That's the thing because Facebook and WhatsApp
is. Yeah. So you're just
given their money, right? And Instagram.
Yeah. Michael said, Instagram, so
the whole group knows how funny slash
cancelable you are with the reels you share.
Yeah, but that's not chat. That's
real sharing. That's got its own special place.
Yeah. That's sometimes someone
hits a good streak. You open the chat. You're like
58? This is a lot to catch up on.
Bernice said, I
really just love good old text.
They wish we were all back to that. For no reason,
at all.
I wonder if we will because a lot of people are going to dumb phones and getting rid of smartphones.
Then you get some people that are on iPhones, some people that are Samsung and it's blue and it's green.
Somebody's on Opo.
Yep.
Who's on Opo?
Oppo.
But yeah, you can, but traditional text, you couldn't do group messages.
No.
No.
Or could you.
Yeah, no.
I messaged you could.
Yeah.
Zoe said, I use Discord because I love using custom emojis.
Okay.
Ash said Messenger, Insta and Snapchat
with all the same three people,
but they're vastly different conversations.
Isn't that funny how that works?
Yeah.
The three of us are on all of them
with different conversations
in different places.
Johnny says somewhere redactable.
Yes.
It's got to be redactable.
We use Snapchat.
We bitch about work majority at the time
and after it, there's no evidence of it
because the snaps disappear, says Eiddle.
Courtney, I've learned since living in London,
Facebook Messenger is only popular in New Zealand
and Australia.
everyone in Europe is using WhatsApp.
Yeah.
Oh.
And Caitlin said, WhatsApp for work, Facebook for Play.
There's a special moment where a work friend becomes someone you could chat to on Facebook.
Oh, okay.
Well, for still a little poll today, we asked where you're having your group chats, what app.
And 62% of you, the majority of you are having them on Facebook Messenger.
The ZN Podcast Network.
This is a show real.
Play ZN's FlashForn and Haley.
I'd just like to formally announce to everyone listening that I have stopped pooping myself.
Barley belly is over.
It's over.
For now.
For now.
Now I'm at that stage where I just won't poop for a couple of days
as it all sort of solidifies back in me and then I can do a real one.
But I want to ask our listeners, when did you get sick at the worst time?
Because I would argue landing and having like honestly explosive barley belly
on the day that you've then got to open a show and perform in front of a crowd
has not been great timing for me
and I've had to perform with so much
extra energy due to the clinch
that I've been doing so that I don't
liquid squit myself on stage in front of people
because it's a comedy show but I want them to laugh at the jokes
and not that.
Yeah, not you soiling yourself on stage.
That's pretty funny, I'd laugh if I'm watching somebody
maybe if the jokes aren't hidden right
maybe if one of those nights where the crowd's not into it
you could just shoot yourself.
Yeah, if I die, yeah, one of my jokes falls flat
I'll just push a little harder and be like,
oh no way, I share myself.
This is the best night of my life.
That's good.
But you can just never time these things.
Like I had a friend who got v-like,
I don't think it was like gastro,
but it was definitely a bit of food poisoning
on her wedding day.
And so the whole day, she got through it
but couldn't eat the food,
had to keep running to the bathroom,
super scared of her white dress the whole time.
It was awful timing.
We don't get to choose these things, do we?
No.
And it could have been a big day?
Maybe a first day of work or something.
Yeah, yeah, maybe you were all teed up for your first kiss
and then you had a big cold.
A big cold.
And you couldn't kiss them anymore.
And a big cold sore.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you finally get to go on holiday and you're sick?
Like, that happens as well.
Yeah.
I mean, like, violently ill and you spend the whole time in bed.
That's terrible.
Yeah, when you're in a foreign country, you could be like doing something cool.
Mm.
Okay.
No.
Okay, well, this is what?
We want to know this morning, 0,800 dials at M is our number.
Call us, text through 9-696.
Don't worry about getting too graphic.
We'll take it all.
When did you get sick at the worst time?
I want to know right now when did you got sick at the worst time.
I've finally, today, I think yesterday was the end of crapping myself.
And that's been like eight days.
Eight days of it.
Skinny, but not fun when I've been performing on stage all week.
Yeah, Barley-Bally got you.
Got you good.
It got me hard.
You got me right in the anus.
What about those people that have a destination wedding in a place like Bali or Thailand?
Oh, yeah.
You get the...
Okay.
I got violently ill with food poisoning in India during my partner's brother's extended wedding on my birthday.
Oh, no.
So you're traveling for a wedding.
It's your birthday and you're violently ill.
Yeah.
Alex, you got sick at the worst time.
When was it?
Yeah, so I was over in Europe with my now wife.
with our first international travel.
Okay.
How did you fight on your first international travel, or was it pretty good?
It was fine.
It was coming home.
So I'd eaten a dodgy pizza bread at lunchtime the night, the day before my flight.
Okay.
Wait, dodgy pizza.
Yeah, I feel like pizza bread's almost undodgible.
Like, how was it dodgy?
Did it have meat on it?
Did it have meat?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was a chicken one.
I ate half of it.
And you know, you know when you know it's wrong.
It's just not good.
Yeah, but you're thumb it in anyway.
Yeah, I was hungry.
Every hour on the hour I was up that night, you know,
singing to the porcelain bowl.
Then we got up around 6 a.m. get to our flight.
I get to the airport and it's no longer coming out the top
and I'm waiting in line trying to check in.
I've got my bags and I'm like, I can't stand here.
I sprint down, find the nearest bathroom and I'm just stuck there.
My wife's moving the bags up the line.
She's messaging me.
she's like, I'm at the front of the queue, and I was like, you're going to have to check me in.
I can't get there.
Managed to clench and waddle my way back and get the check in, and it was just the worst six-hour flight back to Dubai,
where I then had a stopover before I had another, you know, 12-hour flight back to New Zealand.
Jeez.
Just like, I just couldn't do it.
And then being sick on the plane is the worst as well, because that toilet.
There's not enough toilets on.
the plane.
No.
I think I'd plug myself
with a bread roll.
Yeah.
Oh, what's in?
Both.
Both.
And breathe out the nose.
Do you know what?
I'd remember which bread roll
went to which end.
I might label them.
Yeah.
Top and bottom.
Okay.
So I need to go to the bathroom.
I definitely wouldn't want the
bottom bread roll
end up in the top hole, you know.
To be safe, just throw out both bread rolls.
Ayla, when did you get sick at the worst time?
Oh, hey, so when I was pregnant with my first child, I had quite severe morning sickness,
and I went for my routine mole mat.
Yeah.
And as you know, you have to be quite naked for the molemat.
Yes, very naked.
All of a sudden, the familiar feeling of quite tight, quite hot, I'm going to puke, came over me,
and I just decided to puke all over the floor, but naked.
Cool.
Because I thought you were going to say, Ellie, you spute all over yourself.
when they were like doing your, they were checking your front
and you were lying down and you vomited all over yourself.
No, no, I was standing up with my arms out to the side like a star
so they could check.
What did the molemapper say when you just chunded on the floor?
She didn't say much and I was still early days pregnant,
so it wasn't even obvious that I was pregnant.
She just kind of rubbed my back and looked at me straight.
That's nice.
Did she give you a look like, who's cleaning this up?
Yeah.
That's on you.
Kind of you.
Good, because, like, I'm just going to do the moles.
I did offer that she said, oh, we'll just get the cleaner, it's all right.
That claim, she outsourced it.
She speaks on behalf of the cleaner.
Amazing, Ala, thank you.
Some messages in. When did you get sick at the worst time?
My husband's first Christmas with my whole extended family staying in my aunt's house.
We both got bad food, poisoning we spent the whole time noisily and smell-a-l-la-la-e blowing up their toilet.
We're not a great first impression.
I was shopping at PB Tech on Queen Street, Auckland.
Tack, pack.
Be it tack, and he just was overcome
with the violent urge to poo.
I raced out to try to find a toilet
sweating profusely, went into the BK,
toilets were closed.
Well, maybe.
BK is not there anymore, is I know?
But that BK was great for a quick
wheeze.
It was a quick.
Quick wheeze.
Yeah, quick one of a cheeseburger to go
with some mayo on it.
Yeah.
I had to go into the barbecue duck cafe.
Fletch, can you Google and tell me if the barbecue?
You're this is your area.
That's up the ramp.
Absolutely bombed that place.
realize the flush wasn't working and there was
someone waiting for the bathroom behind me. Safe to
say I've never showed my face here again and I would like
to humbly apologize to the barbecue duck
cafe. Have you ever used the toilet and it hasn't
flushed and then you just have to leave?
No, you set the place of blaze.
You evacuate everyone and you set
the place of blaze. Climb out the window.
I would have said to the person waiting
and be like, that's actually not working. I've tried my
best to get a go, but I just don't go in there.
Yeah. This is
an interesting one. Someone said they had the flu
when they went into Labor.
and so like they were just having these massive coughing attacks they felt terrible they were sweaty and everything
and then on top of that they were giving birth oh that's so rough i was in paris for four days i saw the
inside of a hotel for four days i had the three peas going that's pooping puking and period oh
that's not fair the body is just evacuating it's every what's left now you really want to keep a
track of your bread rolls if you go on that you're going
You really...
Oh, I wouldn't in France.
Very hard.
Oh, crusty bread.
Crusty bread.
I'm not grabbing a whole baguette up there.
I was going to ask them if they had a dinner roll.
No, you'd chop up the baguette.
A baguette's perfect because you can chop it into fours and one each home.
I'd cut, I'd probably also cut off the crusty outside.
Yeah.
You'd skin it.
You'd peel it.
You'd peel the baguette.
Block myself up with bread rolls.
Lost 10 KGs in four days.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
I ended up having to go to the hospital in Paris for fluids because I was so dehydrated.
Yeah, I bet.
That's terrible.
About 10 minutes into a car trip with family friends, food poison kicked in,
and I had to ask the stop for a roadside vomit.
20 minutes before we got home, I had to ask for another roadside vomit,
but I was when I was vomiting, I shower back.
Oh, because you're heaving too much.
Yeah.
You're not focusing on the retraction at the other end.
I was not hiding from the car.
They had to ask if I was laughing or crying, and I said both,
and then I had to sit in my shitty pants.
Oh.
You can't get in the car in your shitty pants.
You'd sit naked.
You just take the pants off, right, and chuck them in the bush.
And wrap a jumper around you.
Yeah, well, you're wrapping around yourself, though.
What if it happens again?
I think you're literally in the back seat of their Ford Falcon station wagon.
I'd cut the fabric off of the front seat and I'd fashion some sort of chair diaper.
Yeah, okay, yeah.
Or some bread rolls.
I'm just saying that's very handy.
Very handy.
I'm a wedding photographer and I've had a real crook guts during a wedding before.
Don't shit on the bride
I was
I mean they use a Pokemon reference here
I was squirtle using hydropump in between taking photos
I don't know what that means
but okay
it's a violent
diarrhea
and they're like
hold on just a minute I have to go get another
SD card
off to the toilet
and just get it done as quickly as possible
missing all the good moments as well
you're like why didn't you catch you the first kiss
all the lovely
I had Glangeloaviva two weeks after
getting a new job
I was off for four weeks with glandular fever.
I came back to work for two weeks and then got a kidney infection,
which apparently was related to the glandular fever.
I was off for another three weeks.
You are sick, but it just looks like you're taking the Mac, eh?
When you're off that much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, some of them shit themselves at the gym.
Oh, really?
Yeah, they were trying to do some power lifting meats.
A powerlifting meet, and they all went out for a China.
It was the night before.
Oh, you know, powerlifting.
got the squirts and of course with the lifting
and the pushing. You don't squat on
fresh on the back of a chau-main. I'm sorry.
When I was seven,
mum took me to save mart and the overwhelming
urge to poo came on. The lady in the shop
wouldn't let me use the toilet. Mom thought it was
only we said no
told me to squat beside the car and go on the
car park. I proceeded to lay a huge
shit.
It was huge turd in the save-mart car park.
Do this. You told me, now
whenever I go into an option.
You set scores on the car.
I'm doing it.
Yeah, get it.
Same.
Now whenever I go into an op shop, the smell triggers the urge to poo.
Definitely.
Haven't we talked about this before?
Yes, we had.
Some stores trigger the urge to poo.
And it's scientifically proven.
What is that?
It's relaxing smells, right?
It's like, depending on what you find relaxing.
Yeah, you land your lends.
Like, universally relaxing smells.
Old books do it because you smell it and you're in a quiet place and you're relaxed.
Old books.
Old books.
libraries, yeah, trigger.
You're an R.D.B.'s in Wellington and you see the crap every time.
It's often termed the meringue, what is it?
Maraicot-Oki phenomenon?
It's a common occurrence triggered by relaxation sensory overload or habits,
particularly in large, quiet or scent-rich environments.
That's why you always shit yourself walking into Lush.
Yeah, I do.
Yes, oh my God.
Thankfully, in the battle of the stenches, Lush always just beats me.

Well, it's Stuart Island we're here at Fact of the Day.
You've got to go, didn't you?
I did to go.
I loved your video.
Loved your video.
Oh, thanks.
Is it on your social media?
Yes, it's on me Instagram.
What's your Instagram?
My Instagram's very hard to spell.
I didn't think about it when I set it up.
Made it hard to find.
It's a stupid word.
My agent's constantly like, maybe you should change it.
And I'll be like, you don't tell me what to do.
And they're like, I think I do.
You were showing off you.
I thought you were being funny.
I thought I was being funny and clever.
Vaughan anonymous.
It's worn.
It's my name merged with Anonymous.
Yeah.
So it's my name.
But no one knows.
first name.
And nobody can spell anonymous.
I've always said it's Vaughn Anonymous, but it's not.
It's Vaughnonymous.
Yeah.
Anyway, whatever.
Find it if you can't leave.
But you went to Stuart Island.
Went to Stuart Island.
Did you see some Kiwi?
I did see some...
Yeah.
You'll see them at the end of the video.
I saw some Kiwi.
But then I hear the very next day, I hear Anika Moa,
saw a Kiwi in the daylight it was running around her feet on Allver Island.
That's a must do if you're in the area.
Yeah.
God, I thought you were going to say you saw a moor.
And I was like, that's crazy.
I knew they were down there.
If my name was Vaughn Haast, another extinct New Zealand bird,
I think I might have seen a Kiwi too, but it's not.
It's Smith.
Boo.
Boring.
White bread.
What a white bread name for a white bread fellow.
Well, Fletch wanted to know about Stuart Island's only murder.
So that's today's fact of the day.
It's a small, very tight-knit community, 450 full-time residents.
That's why I answered the question yesterday.
I wonder if there's ever been a murder.
Murder.
One murder.
Because it's so small you would really notice when someone had been murdered, right?
Yes, yeah.
Well, you know, it was pretty, the origins of Stuart Island when grim past of whaling and sealing,
like they literally came down and pretty much made sea lions extinct at one stage through overhunting and fur seals and stuff.
They beat the hell out and then that's how they killed them.
They beat them to death.
Horrible.
So back in that day, I'd imagine there was a few whoopsie-dazy murders that probably got swept under the rug.
But in 1927, Andrew Josie, a fisherman who was in his 80s originally from Indonesia,
who was a well-known local
because he'd been a long-time resident
in Horseshoe Bar and Stuart Island
was beaten to death
by Arthur Valentine
who was actually also the executor
of his will.
Oh, was that motive?
Yeah.
Yeah, because he'd accumulated quite a lot of money.
He lived frugally but it worked hard.
Right.
So he had accumulated a bit of money
and so Valentine apparently beat him to death.
Was that the only murder there's been?
In 1920?
In 1927.
Goodness me.
How did he beat him to death like with his fists?
I don't have weapon
listed
Okay
Or club them like a seal
Well that's what
There's a history in the area
But I don't know
But also if you're the executive
Someone's willing
You want to make their death look somewhat mysterious
I don't think beating them to death
Now I'm not a killer
So don't take advice from me
I've never killed anybody
That's said
That's spoken like a true killer I'll say
Yeah
That's what a killer would say
Guys
Yeah
Yeah
In the only way I'm killing them
I'm killing them with kindness
Yeah
I haven't killed anybody
But I don't just doing
I do a last
Lady poison, to be honest.
I think I do a lady poison.
I do a lady poison.
I do a soft lady poison, I think,
as a soft lady myself.
Would you do a, that made it seem
that you were going to do small doses
of poison over a certain amount of time?
That's exactly what I was planning on doing.
You're going to do one bit.
I was thinking one big poison.
Oh, one big one, okay.
No, it's too obvious.
You've got to do micro, little by little.
Of just leaving 1080 pellets around the lounge.
They can't help themselves.
They can't, no.
They can't out themselves.
They're like possums.
They're drawn to point that you, no one can say no to a 1080.
Yeah.
That's why people who dish out the 1080 you didn't hear from them
because it's like, one for the trap, one for me.
One for the trap, one for me.
No one can say no to a 1080.
The Fleet of One and Haley Show would like to advise you not to eat 1080 palettes.
They are not for human consumption.
Not for human consumption.
So anyway, Valentine died before he even got to trial.
He died in police custody.
Wink, wink, nudge.
Oh, right.
There's a bit of wink, wink, nudge, that he died in police custody
because it was officially reported as a heartful.
Oh, right. You could get away with that in the day. Not now.
Nah, not now. Not with everybody having body cams and...
Yeah.
Cell phones and stuff. But anyway, he died before he got to.
But that is the story of Stuart Island's only murder happened next year.
A hundred years. Since the only murder happened on Stuart Island.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Two lovely gentlemen join us in studio are from Viva La Dirtleague
Alan and Adam.
Good morning.
Thank you very much.
Lovely.
You are lovely.
You are lovely, gentlemen.
That's lovely name.
Lovely gentlemen.
Now, for those that don't know who you are.
Who would that be?
What would you say you're?
Your primary, like when you guys were really making it big,
how would you describe the videos you were making?
You were catering to an audience that in New Zealand,
nerds hadn't really been catered to, right?
New Zealand's specific stuff.
Comedy and gaming and nerds, basically,
the intersection of all of those three things.
Gorgeous, love all this.
That's my intersection.
Yeah.
Are you a self-confessed nerd?
Absolutely.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
Your D&D, you're a D&D.
Love D&D.
Love the death.
Which loves talking about nerd stuff.
Yeah.
Oh,
absolutely.
I just want to say,
just real quick,
Pokemon Week for Fact of the Day,
which is my favourite.
Don't encourage.
Thank you very much.
It was great.
It was perfect.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Did you manage to catch calendar week?
That's a personal thing.
Yeah.
No, that's my second favorite.
Yeah.
We're talking.
Yeah.
Where we're with our calendars?
Well, your latest project
is the Internet's guide to mental health.
Yeah.
What are we got going to?
That doesn't,
is that the usual chuckle fest
No, not really.
No, there are definitely, I feel like we've blended comedy and a serious topic quite well.
But yeah, it came from a place near and dear to our hearts because we've all been on varying journeys.
And whenever we'd go to conventions and that kind of thing, meet fans or talk to people that watch our content.
A lot of the time they would thank us for the mental health content that we'd done,
which was such a small percentage of the content that we've made.
We've done like 1,500 videos now of which, like four or five were mental health.
And they'd say thank you so much for, like, making that stuff.
And it just felt like it was really cool to keep talking about it.
Not trying to, like, solve anything, but just being like normalizing.
It's just opening up the conversation.
And, like, actually talking about mental health with a little bit of comedy in there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kind of helps talk about it.
Yeah, that's the power of comedy, eh?
Absolutely.
If you're laughing, you're nice and open, and it doesn't seem so daunting.
You don't feel so long.
Absolutely, which was a huge part.
I know whenever, when I first started,
when I clicked that something wasn't quite right
and even just seeing somebody talk about it
or there was comfort in that being like,
oh, okay, I'm not alone.
And I think a lot of our audience feel that way.
Because your brain's pretty neat when it tells you you're alone, hey?
Yeah, it's cool.
You're the only one going through this.
Yeah, you're the only one.
You're the broken one.
We found you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, guess what it's 2 a.m.
You're the worst.
You are.
Everyone hates you.
Yeah.
Thanks, Brian.
I didn't know you guys had a direct...
Direct linked it to my brain.
Yeah, no, yeah, the little speaker on the outside that says everything.
Is your audience predominantly men, can I ask?
It is, yeah.
I don't understand why.
That's the thing, right, that men are...
Is it the thing that men are worse at talking about their mental health?
Absolutely.
Oh, 100%.
Yeah, yeah.
So we're about...
It used to be more predominantly male, but now it's about 80% male, our audience.
And yeah, like, I feel like men absolutely...
never talk about mental health, whereas us guys are quite open it with each other.
All the time is one of our most common.
And I think that between us mates is what made us want to start doing mental health
videos.
It's going, well, we talk amongst ourselves so frequently.
It's always such a palpable relief talking about it.
Even just being like, yeah, today sucks.
I mean, we're a rough day today.
And even just that, like, they don't offer any solution or anything.
They're just like they're there to listen.
And it's those conversations between us that kind of inspired the videos that go, oh, oh, are you
having a rough day?
Man, maybe have an apple.
Have an apple, mate.
Ours is a banana.
It's a banana, damn it,
we've been doing it.
Oh, no, we've been to do it.
That's why you're mental health.
I've not getting any better.
I've been on this downhill spiral.
So, what kind of areas of mental health are covered throughout this?
Like, I mean, anxiety is a massive one that's experienced by a lot of people.
I don't know why.
The world's perfect.
Yeah.
I have nothing else.
I haven't noticed anything going on.
Yeah, we've kind of, there's eight episodes,
and all of them have kind of from one of our writers's perspective.
So there is a couple of ones about anxiety, one about depression, one about masking,
which Alan's done, a couple about social media and social media addiction.
Ellie is in one about ADHD, which came out day before yesterday, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah, so kind of a wide gamut, actually.
I love this because, like, I wonder if you guys get the same vibe we get,
which is people look at you, Viva La Dirtleg, and your audience feel like you're their mates.
Yeah.
You know, and we get that two people listening.
It's just like hanging out with your mates.
So it's, when you say you're comfortable talking with your mates about mental health,
I guess that's such a good in for your crowd, right?
Because you are their mates.
You're just having a chat about it.
Yeah, and then it does give the opportunity for people to open up in comments as well.
And a lot of the comments on the mental health videos are people telling their stories
and then more of the fans jumping in saying,
I'm sorry to hear that, like that must be tough and having conversations about it.
That's exactly what we want to do.
Oh, God, conversations are very important.
A Fletch, who was the biggest set of ears last year for Vaughan and I, for sure.
Yeah.
Good on you, man.
He's a great listener.
He's a great listener.
He's a great listener.
He doesn't want to touch you.
He doesn't want to hug you, but he'll listen.
I'll listen.
I'll listen.
Yeah, I will.
Get it on you, mate.
Where can people find it?
Where do we find you if people aren't already familiar with?
Well, yeah, we are on YouTube.
I've heard of it.
You've heard of YouTube.
This thing called YouTube.
Viva Dirt League.
We're on YouTube.
We're on Facebook, we're on TikTok, we're on Instagram,
we're on Discord, we're on Twitch.
We're on Twitch, we're kind of everywhere.
So it's more we should have asked for a list of where you're not.
We're not on Snapchat.
We're not on Snapchat.
We've been having that conversation, but we should try and get on Snapchat.
What's crazy?
You do the funny face filter.
I would do a funny face filter.
You're doing one right now?
I can.
Yeah, yeah.
That's his face.
Don't you think his face looks like he doesn't know how to have sex?
Yeah.
a little bit like that.
Do you think so?
Yeah.
Sorry, we did.
I don't know there it is.
It's the one eye bigger than the other.
And the snaggle too.
Do you do an episode on bullying?
It's season two.
I could write it if you want.
We could just use a clip from the show and that's the episode.
Well, on a serious note, in a world where there are many terrible influences on young men on the internet,
I would like to thank you, gentlemen, for the work you do.
Thank you very much.
social change for young men who, you know, could find terrible idols online.
Oh, yes, can they what?
And hopefully they find good ones like you, and thanks for coming in.
Yeah, I appreciate.
The internet guide to mental health, check it out.
Vival Adir, thanks guys.
Thank you.
The ZM Podcast Network, play ZM's Flash Forne and Haley.
Now, before we get to this concert announcement,
surprise me, we have to wait until 9 o'clock for the embargo to left.
Because last time you surprised me, you took me to Bali.
I'm just saying, oh, hi, hi, bar, has it been said.
into the Philippines.
It's not a holiday,
but it's definitely going to tickle you
and one of your great hobbies.
And I'm also excited about the surprise
because I get to go on it
and Haley's upset because she's in Bali.
No, she's in Melbourne.
This is completely selfless
because I'm in Melbourne,
but I know how much you're going to enjoy it.
Tell us some of the things you love the most.
Um, Chippies.
Um,
I don't know.
We're throwing you into a deep fry.
What are we taking you to a potato chip factory?
Okay, that would actually be quite a cool.
That would be fun.
Class trip.
I was thinking over the week
we should do something called Fletchfront and Haley's class trips
and we just ask factories if we can come for a look.
Because you remember the time to the biscuit factory?
I bloody love that.
Seeing the marshmallow and the mellow,
what are those called the mellow paths?
Because they don't get dipped.
They get coated.
They get coated.
Do you know they get coated with a skirt machine?
They go through a chocolate waterfall like Augustus Sklomp.
I did not know that.
I was not on that trip.
Okay, it's not chippies or biscuits.
Something that you think about a lot,
something that really like, you're interested in.
Brazilian women.
Artemis 3.
Ethnically ambiguous woman.
Yeah, what about?
It's not that.
We're taking you to the Brown Woman factory.
Otherwise known as Brazil.
Otherwise known as Brazil.
No, it's not that.
It's not to do with Star Wars.
It's not to do with Langeovers.
It's not Nandovers.
Is it fight a World War II?
No.
Is it true?
We've taken you on a World War II planes.
Oh, pause, pausing?
Is it what?
Is it trains?
Yes.
Oh God, I love trains.
I know you love trains.
Wait, is it not because...
Oh, stop it.
I know they're running their tests.
Can I just go to produce a car one now?
So, Born.
Yeah.
You're wearing a long-sleeve shirt today?
Yeah, I just pull up the sleeves
because I've got hot forearms.
Wait, I'm not wearing a long sleep shirt,
but I've got a sweats shirt.
Yeah, that'll be got.
Okay.
You're wearing long pants?
Yep.
You've got covered shoes?
I got my, I'm back in my work boot season.
Do you have it to have your high viz with you?
I've always got high viz in the car.
In case I have to pull over and put something off the road.
Well, today is your lucky day.
You are going on the city rail link.
On the loop, we're going on the loop.
One of the first shut on the tunnels.
We're going to go in the tunnels.
We're going to go in the tunnels.
I think you're going to be one of the first 100 people to do this.
Oh, stop it.
You're out of applause
Really?
So we're going to take some cameras
Yeah
We're going to show the listeners
Do you want to know one of the best cameras
We've got for you Vaughn?
Yeah
We've got a GoPro on a head mount
Oh my God
Like the train guy
Yeah
With the 360
The fish eye
Yeah that's nice
You're going to wear that on your helmet
Oh because we've got to wear helmets
That's a terrible angle
But yeah
We're wearing helmets
Also have you found a head
About Vaughn's big head
I've got a huge head
Oh you know what I haven't
I normally do.
I've seen some of the big lads working on it
and there's some monster heads on that crew.
Otherwise maybe you just have to wear two or something.
Two helmets, that's not how it works.
Yeah, one on either side.
Not on top.
Like a rounder.
Like a double scoop, ice cream.
One like home, two.
One for the back tail.
Maybe three, two on the side and one on the top.
So where do we get on?
So I believe you are finding yourselves in Henderson.
We're having such a runner.
Yeah.
Well, you've got to get the speed to go through the tunnel.
Really?
Is that really how it works?
No.
And then arriving at the Waitamata Station.
Yeah, so we're going to turn off at the Mount, the Mount Eden one, and then you go through the tunnel.
I know.
Oh, my gosh.
That's the exciting bit.
Yeah.
So you go under there and there's the Karanga, Hapi.
Yep.
Stop.
And then the mid-town.
All those stations are so nice.
The Civic Station?
Yeah, I forget the official name.
Do we get to stop at the stations?
I don't know.
Do I get to drive the train?
Well, because they've closed it down for three days
because they're running full tests over the whole new work.
So we get to be part of the test.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So this can all go horribly wrong.
I hope so.
It's fun.
We're going on a lad's trip.
It's you, me and the boys and Shannon.
The boys and Shannon.
Ladd's trip.
When I found out I was going, all I could say is Lad's trip,
and I think the boys don't love it as much as I love it.
But that's a show.
Yeah, we're going on a Lads trip.
Oh, this is exciting.
Wow.
Well, there we go.
it's happening we're going to go after the show
Let's do the call
What? What do you say for your
Surprise? Thank you
Thank you very much I'll do the class speech at the end
Okay on behalf of room three
I just want to say thank you very much
For taking your time out of your day to show us how the train works
Yes
The ZM Podcast Network
Play ZM's Flashhorn and Haley
Well this is embarrassing for me
I want to ask the dear
There's a thing called a measuring tape
That you sort of learn
Yeah
To use early on in a renovation
I should have told you that
I know I know
Well I want to ask the dear listener
When you've purchased something
And got it home
And it didn't fit
This is what
Because I just saw it written down
What didn't fit
And I and then Fleets is like
Well this is embarrassing
I was like
Go on
Go on
So yesterday
This has never happened to me before
This is never
It's never been like too small
and now, look, I don't know.
I thought I had a big door to my apartment.
I don't say standard door.
Turns out I've got a standard tiny door.
I, you know how excited I've been to get my Samsung
fridge freezer with an ice maker?
Because I've never had an ice maker.
Yeah, I've got an ice maker and you guys are late.
Every time I come out of it.
You push the button.
Everybody does.
And I must admit, before I had a fridge with,
where you pushed it in and the water and the ice came out,
every time I saw it, I'd be like, better get a glass of water.
Yeah, because it's exciting, right?
And that's why, when I, with the renovation,
is happening. I was like, I've got to get
one of these ice makers. So, it's got a lovely
Samsung, it's a good colour, it's got the ice maker
in the water and everything.
And they give me a T-Sys. My tip would be
make the filter easily accessible.
Oh, like, when the water goes through it, don't put a pack of
peas there. No, no, no, the filter's behind it.
Yeah, but make it accessible because some people
don't, and then you've got to change your filter
and it becomes a little bit of the night. Oh, you mean the, okay,
right, okay. You can tell me about that later.
I've just told you
everything you need to know now.
It didn't really seem conduive to the story.
One of the surprises, you have to work in me for 22 years.
I'm going to come in halfway through a story
with something that's not conducive to the flow of the story.
Yeah, again, not surprised.
Not surprised.
Okay, so these lovely people from Samsung turn up with the delivery truck
and they get, you know, half the stuff in there
because I've got the dishwasher on the oven and stuff there.
And that fits in the door perfectly.
They get the box, they go back down for the fridge,
get it up in the elevator, bring it around the corridor,
and get it, and it's just on an angle,
to get through the door and it just goes, don't.
And I was like, oh, I wonder if we can squeeze that in.
I reckon there's, and because it's in the box, it's a bit wide.
I was going to say, surely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Would be unsheathing our fridge.
So I'm just like, I'll just leave it in the corridor.
I'll deal with it tomorrow.
I must admit, your apartment's pretty hard to get into anyway.
No one's stealing a giant fridge.
No one's stealing a giant box.
Too, man, lift.
So anyway, so I'm like, oh my God, how big is this fridge?
So I go on the website and I get the dimensions of the fridge I've bought.
And I'm like, okay, I measure the door.
I measure the door.
I've got to take the door off and I've only got four millimeters to play with.
Oh my God.
I love a tight fit though when you're getting something.
Good to take the door off.
Four millimeters.
Because what's the alternative?
You've got to bust down that whole wall where the door is and then rebuild it.
You know the bits of wood that come out to stop the door going,
too far?
Yeah.
I could take one of those off the side.
Door jam?
Door jam.
Yeah.
I think they're door jams.
Yeah.
Or the frame?
The door frame.
I just called it the wood.
It's called a jam.
Yeah.
With the door handle.
It's got a silent B.
Yeah.
One of those.
So anyway, so I've got to take,
when I say I've got to take the door,
the builder's got to take the door off and maybe a bit of the door,
shave a bit of that off and then put it back on.
But then like, what do I do with this fridge if I ever move?
The fridge just stays.
It just stays now, eh?
Just take it apart.
No, I reckon the better option is just get a screwdriver on this brand new fridge,
take it all apart and rebuild it inside the apartment.
Well, Matt, our friend Matt's just messaged.
Why don't you thumb the box in, hon?
Now, this is Matt.
I don't think that was supposed to be read out on ear, my love.
Matt.
I did try to thumb the box in, and it's too wide.
The box is too wide.
It's lubricated the door.
No, it's got polystyrene on the side.
Did you spit on the door?
I didn't.
But anyway, so today when I get home for work,
I've got to take it out of the box
and then get the builder to take the door off, the hinges,
and then we've got to get it in with like four millimeters to spare.
Do you have protruding hinges?
Oh, I didn't think about that,
because that'd be more than full mills.
No, but where are your hinges set?
I didn't measure to that.
No, the hinge goes out.
No, we're fine.
We're going to be good.
But we can always take the bit off the side.
The door jam?
Yeah.
How hard is that?
Oh, I feel like that's stuck on with, like, framing nails and all sorts of stuff.
It's going to be a bit of a mess to clean up.
Okay, well, if we're going to learn a lesson here, dear listener, it's check your measurements.
And if one side of the fridge is going to be touching, it's the back side,
because you don't want to scratch on the front side of the fridge.
Yes, that's what I'm thinking.
I'm going to put, like, some cardboard on the front.
I put a sheet.
A sheet, no, sheet's not going to protect against the door.
A sheet's going to do absolutely nothing.
A sheet.
A sheet is going to stop it.
Famously.
You've been playing with four mill.
You think you've got room for it.
for cardboard, buddy?
Yeah, I'll thumb the cardboard and the side to stop the scratches.
Well, anyway, this is...
You spit on the cardboard before you put the cardboard off.
This is what I want to know, because I know some friends that bought a brand new car
and drove at home, and it didn't fit down their driveway.
Like, into the garage.
They could get it down, but they didn't think about, like, opening the doors.
So that to...
One of them would always have to get out at the start of the driveway and the have to park.
Can I just say a couple of messages have come in that you'd be easy to take the
fridge, the doors off the fridge and that would be take the door jam off.
And Todd said, God's sake, don't touch that door jam.
You'll be looking at a new door.
Really?
Why does Todd come in here with negativity?
Nah, Todd.
I don't know, but I trust them.
Negative Todd.
I trust this Todd.
Don't take the door apart.
Take the doors off the fridge.
Shut up, Todd.
Hey, he's trying to help.
Someone else did the fridge doors come off.
I'm not getting another fridge.
I'm not getting another fridge.
I'm set on this fridge.
It's got a sexy color too.
We'll take the doors off and then put them back on.
Okay, well, maybe that's an option.
What color is the fridge?
it's like a gunmetal gray
Yeah
It's real sexy
Not a bit lighter than mine
Mine's sexier than yours
Yeah
Wow
Because that's when I went there
Are you saying he's got a ming a fridge
No it's a great fridge
Does my fridge look like
Knows how to have sex
Or is it just my face
It doesn't
It doesn't as a virgin bro
That's so embarrassing
It's like dogs
They kind of quite often
Fridges look like their owners
Oh
Oh
Oh 800 dogs at them
966
When did you buy something
Get it home and it just didn't fit.
We want to know now when it didn't fit, you bought something,
you got it home and you're like, it doesn't fit.
Because that's what happened to me yesterday
when my Samsung fridge was delivered.
It's going to fit in the kitchen.
It just doesn't fit in the front door yet.
Do you hear from anyone that got their wedding dress home
and it just didn't fit?
They have constant fit.
You pick your wedding dress right, you get fit for it
and then you go back a few weeks and get the final fit thing
and then you've just got to be on your best behavior.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
No blowouts.
No blowouts, please and thank you.
So this has, this is making me feel better because this has happened to a lot of people.
Lauren, what happened?
A deal of a deal on one of those box frame, box spring bed frames.
Okay.
And paid the extra for the delivery drivers to bring it over, bring it in,
because I knew it would be a tight fit, but it should fit fine.
They get to my house.
It does not fit up the stairs.
So they leave it in my garage.
I call my dad.
And my dad and I decide, yeah, decided it can fit over the balcony.
So one of us had you stand on the ground with it hoisted, you know, above our head.
Oh, yeah.
Ran so quickly to the balcony to drag it over.
Wow.
Yeah, but you got it in.
It didn't work?
We did get it in.
Wow.
Getting it out was the same.
Yeah, okay, yeah.
That's, okay.
I mean, you probably could have taken it apart, could you?
No.
No, it was a box spring once.
It was like, you can't take it apart.
Right. Okay. Oh, wow.
Okay, well, see, this is making me...
At least you've got it in, though.
I'm yet to get mine in, Lauren.
Yeah, determination.
That's the ease.
I don't know.
We did hear back from, what is it,
old negative Nelly Todd.
Yeah, Todd, which said,
four male meters is clean.
Don't touch the door jammy.
May as well get a new door at that point.
It's not getting expensive.
And you guys both poo-poop-to-tod.
And he said, look, I'm just the builder.
What would I know?
He's...
Trady, Tamp.
We've all doubt
when tradies have a chucked a little tandy
Because what they've suggested in the years of expertise
Isn't what you're after aesthetically
Yes
And they're like, I know but this is the practical one
And you're like, look, I'm paying you should just do it
Okay, Todd, thank you for your advice, so listen
When Jonathan, in another builder said the door's likely to have
plumbing and some wiring around it so don't take them
Oh no, that's the door of the fridge
Oh you don't take that off, yeah, no
I won't do that.
So we're at odds and ends now between the trades.
What if you just store it, keep it in the hallway.
And just when you need to go and get something,
you have to pop out and get your steak from the hallway.
Yeah, but I don't want people going into my fridge, taking my...
Get a Yale digital lock on it.
And you thumbprint it and it goes, and it opens.
And then when you shut it, it automatically locks.
That'd be great.
Amy, what did you buy and get home and it didn't fit?
We got a couch and the place that we moved into,
the lounge was really weird.
set up. So we got like one of the big
L-shaped couches. Love those.
I love those. I love the corner
putting my feet out. Yeah, me too. I love a
chaise. Yeah, except when we got it
in it didn't fit properly
so now we have two half
couches.
So it's like a modular couch and you've
just put whatever two bits fit.
Yeah, yeah. So one's like
on one part of the
walls and then the other
there's like a gap and then there's another part of the wall
because if we put the proper owl it would
be in the middle of it.
Aesthetically, I don't love that.
I don't love it either, aesthetically.
What can you do, though, though?
You've paid all this money for this couch.
Yeah, well, luckily, I mean, we got it sick in hand,
but each side of the couch, you know,
there's only one, like, armrest.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the other ends just open.
Oh, God.
Oh, that's so good.
I always be falling off or go to land away.
Amy, thank you.
Tanya, what did you buy, get home,
it didn't fit?
Ours was a washing machine.
Oh, okay.
So, yep, we got it, took it home,
unboxed it in the kitchen,
got Vivid Marker,
wrote in huge letters
across the back,
the date that we bought it,
you know, for,
what do you call it?
Warranty.
Tarni, why does I just keep the email
in a folder called warranties?
Oh, yeah, no, that's too clever for us.
So what you've done is you've made it
unreturnable is what you're saying?
Well, for most people,
but it didn't fit through our door
and my husband was going to take the door jam off
and I was like, I know.
Because does he know Todd?
Todd has she?
Not Todd and not too.
Tanya and Todd.
She's married to him.
He just wanted a big flash washing machine.
Okay.
Yeah, so no, it was a quick trip to might attend
to get some methylated spirits
to get the vivid off the back
and we returned to the washing machine.
Do you think that set it on fire
when the next person turned it on, Tanya?
Messing washing machine.
Yeah, they finally run a hot wash.
Wow, Tonya, that's brilliant.
Okay, thank you.
That's good to know as well.
So message is in when you got it home and it didn't fit.
We got some monkey bars for the backyard,
but they didn't fit through any of our doors
so we had to put them on the front deck.
They didn't fit through the front doors by literally one centimeter.
They're now way out of place,
but our daughter uses them so much.
They're totally worth it.
Could you not go around the house?
Yeah.
Maybe they had skinny, because, you know,
my house has skinny access.
Maybe they couldn't, so it was frontal back.
It has to be skinny access.
Yes, I know some people that got a sparmple, they got it craned over.
Yeah, I've seen that.
Yeah, that's how people do it.
That sparple better want to stay there.
Yeah.
Do you know my piano teacher when I was growing up had her grand piano craned into her house
because she lived in the bush, flew a piano in?
Wait, they flew it in on a helicopter.
Flew it on a helicopter.
A grand piano?
A grand piano.
What a flexe to the neighbors.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not my business.
I guess I'm moving my piano in.
Oh, with a piano mover?
I guess you could call it that.
Yeah.
It'd be cooler if she was hanging from the helicopter.
Playing a thousand miles.
Vanessa Carlton.
Well, I was thinking something more like Beethoven.
You win a thousand miles.
Sort of Mozart or something.
That one.
Play Z-M's Fleshhorn and Haley.
We heard a very funny story.
We heard a very funny story and we thought this is a funny story.
with our listeners.
We're joined in studio by Sophie,
who are you on an internship?
Yes, I am.
Okay, good luck.
That's terrible.
No, it was a genuine good luck.
Did it not come across?
No, it's okay.
Sorry, Vaughn doesn't.
No, it's okay.
I don't do it.
Good luck.
Vaughn can't do it in sincerity.
Yeah, well, I've always pitched
for the intern hunger games.
I just think, you know, one survives.
You've seen the trailer today.
It's a sweet gig.
Oh, yes, new trailer for the.
Sunrise on the reaping.
Oh my God, it looks intense.
Ah, but anyway, they keep saying no.
You can't do that with interns.
Can't make the interns fight to the death.
I told you.
Any more.
The 90s on the 2000s.
Oh my God, so many dead interns.
Yeah.
So many dead interns.
Did you guys do an internship, Radio Boys?
I worked for free for ages.
Yeah, that was what I did too.
Radio stations.
Yeah.
No, but not officially intern.
You know, Georgia Burt was interning when we first started here at ZM.
and I remember you had to clean out that Mr. Whippy van or some, like,
didn't you have to clean some, like, fridge with black mould in it or something?
Didn't I have, yes, because you two made me clean it out.
You literally shared office and said, oh, the interim will do it.
And I was like, I remember being at a party with family and they're like,
so what a Fletch and Vaughn like?
I was like, honestly, they're running so.
They're not as nice as I thought.
They're running so sort of hunger games with the interns.
I'm so thankful I didn't have to do that.
Yeah, well, yet.
time now. Yeah. They cry when they have to clean the Mr. Whippy truck.
Yeah. So anyway, you tell us the story, Sophie. What happened? You got an email.
This is great. Okay, so I got an email along with everyone else at NZMe from the CEO.
Yeah. And he sends out the, I think it's like weekly. I'm not sure, but it's like an update me kind of thing.
And you actually press on it and it takes you to like, you know, the company update me about the week.
He updates you on the company financials and their appointments.
I read them all the time.
I love them.
Hands up if you read them every week.
I are not every week, but I do read them regularly.
Yeah, yeah.
So I reckon they monitor who clicks them.
Do you really?
They're open them.
Right.
So they do.
Clarke in their head.
They do.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, hold on.
Wow, it's first day.
On all of our emails, if you send to over a certain amount of people,
you can see who has opened an email or not.
he can absolutely say who has, and he can see that.
I've been in a big flat delete all.
It's called Update Me because the company we work for is NZMe.
And all their things have me on the end.
Very clever.
Very uniform.
Our toilets have the H-R woman, you know, and it's complained to me.
Yeah, complain me.
Contact me.
Everything's got a me on it.
So Update Me is the company-wide update from the CEO.
Yeah, and so I didn't realize that you could actually
press it and get an update from
what was happening in the company, I thought we had to
update him about how we were doing.
Now, famously, CEOs of
quite large companies, you know,
over a thousand employees, love
hearing from individual employees.
I'm really... Management system
be damned, so.
Yeah. So did you
actually send an email? You were
replying back in updating him personally on what you'd
been doing? No, thankfully, I
ever sent the email, but I have got a draft
and it is like, hey, hey, it's Sophie, I'm the intern
at ZDM.
It's like, just
how you can imagine, just embarrassing.
Yeah, cool.
Did you tell him what you've done for the week?
Oh, absolutely, I did.
Yeah.
Did you use chat GPT to help fluff it out of it?
Oh, I said make it sound more professional.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what, he's so nice, he probably would have just emailed you back
and said, oh, that's so good, keep it up or something like that, yeah.
Well, maybe I could email him and actually update him and say,
maybe I can learn about CEO ways for the day.
Can I come in and sit on you meetings?
Careful.
Oh, sorry.
We also don't do that anymore.
Sorry, sorry.
We, that's just completely derailed my brain.
Just do a little soft reboot here.
So what made you not send it?
Well, I checked.
I was like, hey, team, do we, you know, is that what we meant to do?
Because I had like a whole idea.
I was like, I'm going to wait, not update him straight away.
Keep him worried.
So that my updates at the top of his inbox.
Tell you what I'm going to make her the 15th Victor of the annual Hunger Games.
Yeah, so it's good thinking.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Okay, yeah, it's good that you asked.
Yeah.
It's good that you asked.
Maybe we should all start updating him, though.
Maybe he'll be interested.
Well, he updates us.
It's only fair that updates flow both ways.
I think so.
Especially he'll be really interested in what an intern's doing, I'd say.
I reckon.
ZM's Flesh forne and Haley.
There is a song in the UK singles chart that has pegged at number two.
I think it's currently sitting at number three.
I think this is a singles chart for, I don't know, just like all the singles?
All the new singles?
All the single singles?
All the single singles.
Now this is a song marketed as a black American blues maestro.
It's pictured on an album cover with a man singing.
He's got a weathered face.
Listen that voice.
Yeah.
Blues?
Sounds like one of Georgia's country artists.
Yeah.
It's nice.
It's not, it's nice.
It's not similar to, like, Marvin Gay or Otis Reading.
Yeah.
It's got Otis Redding.
Well, this is AI.
Oh, no.
Oh, I hate that.
I hate that.
I know.
This has happened a couple of times now, right?
Like, there have been whole albums in the charts and...
But there's, like, there's always moments I reckon I can tell,
and there's, like, a little glitch in the...
the voice or there's something too but this is so smooth.
I was like trying to listen for a moment.
Zero zero one one one one zero one.
Okay I've just pulled up their YouTube video.
These are some of the comments.
This is the best singer I've heard in 65 years.
And someone said, you totally know this is AI and that person said I don't care where he's from.
That's good stuff.
That's good stuff.
Okay, if you, yeah.
I doubt I'm too old to cry, but every now and then old memories along with you.
the sad song bring tears to my eyes.
Wow, okay.
I love that he's described as like black American.
Is he black?
Or is he a computer?
He's a computer.
Do computers have race?
Are they black American computers?
Are they Chinese computers?
I'd say so, yes.
Are they parking computers?
Yeah.
Well, it's AI.
So watch what you listen for.
Oh, I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast, I'll tell you.
What?
It's a podcast.
You are allowed to listen to a while you're weeks.
There's no rules on when and where you're allowed to listen to a podcast.
It just says here, I'm busting for a wheeze.
I read it, okay?
I read it.
Give us a review.
Play Z-M's Fletchhorn and Haley.
