The ZM Podcast Network. The Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning, welcome to the show. Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley, it's two minutes past six. Hello. We're slightly gassed this morning.

Yeah. They do this thing where they test, I think they test the generator and it's a diesel generator and the fumes go on the air con and then the fumes come in. That's where you want your exhaust pipe, right next to your intake. And into our studio. Yeah.

Yeah. So, and just everyone's a listener. We just slip into a little sleepy dream. A little sleepy dream. A little sleepy dream in that system. There's something about this weather change. Like, we've entered autumn, and it's made, I'm having a seasonal response to it. Oh, are you a bit grumpy?

I was grumpy yesterday. Okay. Half woke up expecting to be menstruating, but no. Not yet? Not yet. I think it's the weather. It's the change. I feel tired.

Oh, I was shirty yesterday. They wore it. Did Aaron wear It's the change. I feel tired. Oh, I was shirty yesterday. He wore it. Did Aaron wear it, did he? Did he? Yeah. The ones we love the most tend to wear it. He's like, you alright? I said, no, I seem to have slipped into a dark hole. I said, I think I might be tired.

And then he'd say, I wouldn't mind slipping into a dark hole myself. Did he try it on? He couldn't get close enough. Oh, no. I wasn't even a bar of anything. The top six is coming up. Yeah, a male humanoid robot was unveiled yesterday, and the first thing it did was put its hand on the females next to its butt. They have programmed it well.

Of course it did. It's a male robot. I've got the top six things it did next. Coming up at 8.05 on time, I just had to check the jackpot, $34,000. Yesterday, we had a 4.98. That just goes to show that we ain't lowering our standards. We want a 5.00. 5.98, that is 0.2 away.

That hurts. Yeah. I'd rather be 7.6 than a 4.98. Close. Well, $34,000 your chance to play this morning at 8 o'clock. Next on the show, though, let's laugh at some super rich people. Yeah, that'd be nice. Play.

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Well, global warming, we're seeing the effects of it Right here in our own country All the time Although touch wood We haven't had a big Anything big for a while have we? It's been a year since the floods

King tides at the moment Oh right okay I've been driving home and it's real real high And I always think wow it's a king tide. And then in the UK, they had that thing where the tide's so big, it chucks waves down a dirty old river. And people, did you see this? Oh, no.

And they surf on it. It's like an endless wave. Right. It's like a tidal wave and it just keeps going. So that's all you need is a storm and then king tides. It's not good times. Terrible. Terrible combo.

To the US we go in Massachusetts. Massachusetts? Massachusetts. Massachusetts. You sort of say Massachusetts, don't you? Massachusetts. Yeah. So just north of Boston, there's a place called Salisbury.

It's right on the coast. I'll show you a photo of these homes on the coast. Oh, yeah. Bye. Like beautiful, like those would be multi-million dollar homes. You wouldn't buy it now though, would you? No, definitely not now. Because I think one person in that photo had a tennis court,

but now that's just the beach. And so literally the front door and the verandas are right at the top of the beach. And so these are the after photos that I'm talking about now. But a few weeks ago, they had just finished a $600,000 US sand dune project. They dumped a whole bunch of sand in front of their houses. Trying to build more beach. Yeah. But that won't work. It took 72 hours, two storms, and it's worse now.

The sand dune, it's gone. It's all gone. The thing with sand, it's quite light, isn't it? It's made up of lots of little pieces. Yeah, you just wash it away. And so if it didn't suck it out to sea, I'm imagining it pushed the sand even further in. Yeah.

Kind of creating the... It's all out to sea by the looks of it. What a mess. There are some places though, even in New Zealand you see them, right on the beach cusp. Yeah, and you're like, I would never buy a place like that. Yeah, but only a few years ago, you'd only dream of owning a place like that. I know, and now you're like, no.

Like, can they get insurance? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Ha, ha, ha, rich people. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Shame. Unless it's your place And then it's okay

Nah They should have done those Retaining walls Yeah I don't know Those seem to last A little bit longer Yeah I don't know

But then they look ugly Don't they Big rocks and blocks Stop your house Slipping into the sea I mean you've got Two choices there Yeah

But then it's like Building a real rad sand castle If you only put the Retaining wall in front Of your place The water eventually Is going to go around it and destroy your sandcastle. Oh, dear.

What a pain in the butt. Ha ha, ha ha. Yeah, this is quite funny that they spend all that money. So much money. It's gone in like three days. Like over a million dollars. Yeah. Imagine just sitting in your nice lounge watching it wash away.

Like, okay. Bye. Bye. I guess we should move inland then. Yeah, I guess we'll go into the mountains. Next on the show. I've got some destination dupes. Because a lot of the most, like,

well-loved travel destinations are too overpopulated and too expensive. Yeah, too overpriced. So I've got some dupes instead. Wait, so like Kmart travel destinations? Basically the Kmarts of the world. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Travel is so expensive

at the moment. Yeah. You know, and like the world's back open, but if only to those that can afford to do it and like when I we had a trip booked for 2020 and it was like your classics. Barcelona. Oh, yeah. Venice.

Yeah. The Cinque Terre. I was taking Aaron to places I've been. And now, apparently, not only can I not afford to go there, but it's like super overrun. Yeah. So, apparently, for 2024, according to XPDR, one of the biggest travel trends is destination dupes.

So if you're looking for this vibe, why not try this place? It's cheaper. For example, London, very expensive, not only to get to, but to stay in, Liverpool. Now, have you ever been to Liverpool? We've been to Liverpool. I was pleasantly surprised. Is it cool?

It was. It had a real, I mean, this is going back some, but it had a really cool feel to it. Good buzz. That would have been 11 or 12 years ago, wouldn't it? I hate to break it to you, 14. Jesus Christ. Just grapple with that for a second. Where is the time going? Yeah, I don't know.

It was really cool. It kind of had a big makeover, right? Yeah, it had. It was rad because people were like, oh, it's rough. Scousers and what have. Yes, yes. It was a cool city. Is that where the Gentleman's set?

The Netflix? That's Liverpool, eh? Yeah. No, the Scousers are in it, but on Liverpool. Do you know, actually, this show's fantastic, by the way. You've got to watch The Gentleman.

It's like a long-form Guy Ritchie movie, and I love my Guy Ritchie movies. Me too. And that guy, that main guy. God damn, that's one handsome dude. He could be in the next James Bond. The guy from White Lotus. Theo James.

Were you about to say Theo? Theo James, I was going to say. It's Theo James. Theo, yeah, because he's British, isn't it? Yeah. But so Theo James, very handsome. Could be the next James Bond. There's Liverpudlians in it.

But you know, their house, they live on that. Yeah, I love that people from Liverpool are Liverpudlians in it. But, you know, their house, they live on that. I love that people from Liverpool are Liverpudlians. Yeah. That's a great name. That's Badminton House where Badminton was invented. Really? The estate that he lives on that he inherits. Yeah.

Oh, there you go. Getting big Saltburn vibes from that place. Well, it is. It's the same vibe. It's the same old massive estate. Well, there you go. Where you inherit it, you get a title with it. Liverpool.

It's the place to go. I don't know if there's as much. I did like it, but get a title with it. Liverpool. It's the place to go. I don't know if there's as much. I did like it, but there's not as much to do as London. There's no Broadway and stuff. This is a dupe. You're going for a more budget-friendly option. I love when you Google Liverpool, it doesn't take you to the city. The first stop is the football club.

Yeah, of course. It's like what it's most known for. Santorini. Okay. Now, that's one of the most popular Greek islands. But it would be a better option than, say, Mykonos or your popular? Yes. I would have thought that would have been.

The dupe for Santorini. Oh, sorry. Okay. Which is a very popular one. Maybe not as Mykonos. It's Paros. Okay. Which we talked about not so long ago.

Why were we talking about Paros? I think because people were like, hey, you should go here. It's really cute, really great, got a good vibe. Okay. St. Martin. Absolutely beautiful. Paros. I think because people were like, hey, you should go here. It's really cute, really great, got a good vibe. Okay. St. Martin. Absolutely beautiful. Paro sa.

St. Martin, which is in the Caribbean. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the one with the airport that everyone stands on the beach and the planes like literally land on top of you. Yeah, like brush past your hair. They're saying the dupe for that is Kura Kao, Kura Sao. Yeah. The blue liquor. I wasacao yeah maybe the blue liquor I was going to say

the blue liquor for blue Hawaiians that place looks incredible is that liquor named after how blue the ocean is there it's spout exactly

the same with the little zhut on the sea it's really close to Venezuela right yes yeah there's heaps more so basically

like look for a place that you want to go someone said they were looking to go to Bruges and ended up in Ghent. G-H-E-N-T. Never been there.

Palawan in the Philippines is a great dupe for the Maldives. Yeah, I've heard that the Philippines has amazing beaches and same with like Sri Lankan beaches as well. Sri Lankan beaches look incredible and you just like don't immediately think of it yeah

you know I guess when my wife leaves me and my children don't want to talk to me anymore I might just

Sri Lanka I think so and they'll be like what's the story behind that weird old leathery white guy yeah

he loves Sri Lankans he just likes the food the beaches the women you know what I mean it's a one stop shop and there's some cute islands Yeah. He loves Sri Lankans. He just loves them. The food, the beaches. The women. You know what I mean? It's a one-stop shop. And there's some cute islands.

There's some cute animals. Yeah. Because it's been isolated for so long. Yeah, cute. Okay, I'll just run a little quick list. Okay. Taipei instead of Seoul. Okay.

Perth instead of Sydney. That's hard. I've never been to Perth. It's beautiful. And you can go see the quokkas on Rottenness Island. Why not? Pattaya instead of, I'm saying that like it's a Maori word, Pattaya. Pattaya instead of Bangkok.

Palermo instead of Lisbon. Quebec City instead of Geneva. And Memphis instead of Nashville. There's a whole bunch. So if you're like looking at, you've always had a dream of going somewhere like Venice, look up like Venice dupe and it'll probably give you a cute little Italian island. The Venice in Las Vegas.

Oh no, that's not the same. No, it's good going there because then you can go to New York, New York. You can kind of go around the world. France, Paris. Without actually leaving. You've got everything there. Las Vegas.

There's literally a dupe city for like every city in the world. Play ZM's Fletchville and Haley from the Panoramic ZM Think Tank. This is the Top 6. Still going. Hold on. Sound like a didgeridoo. Is that appropriate?

Top six things, top six today, is dealing with the fact that this male humanoid robot was unveiled, and it immediately, well, like, its first action was to literally put its hand on the butt of the female reporter next to her. Classic male robot thing to do. It's great. Saudi robotics company QSS named the male robot Mohammed

and he was debuted at the Deep Fest and he's bilingual. He's a male humanoid robot. What can he speak? English and Arabic. Yes. And then immediately

I thought that three hooked up with other guy robots and girl robots. Yeah, so did I. I was like, that's really advanced for the Middle East. Not publicly.

No. Keep that one quiet. So yeah, they turned him on and he immediately was like, that's really advanced for the Middle East. Not publicly. No. Kept that one quiet. So yeah, they turned him on and he immediately was like, grab the butt of the woman next door. So I've got the top six things the first male humanoid robot did for the rest of his day. Okay. Number six on the list, said he'd be home at about seven from the pub.

Stumbled in at one. Stumbled in at one. Stumbled in at one. Stumbled in at one. Without his car as well. No idea. So we'll deal with that tomorrow. A shoe missing. And was going like, shh. But he was just shushing himself.

Because he was unaware that he was making all the noise. Number five on the list of the top six things the first male humanoid did next. Said he'd take care of dinner, but then only cook the meat part of dinner. Did that just trigger you? Yeah.

And then said everyone like, I did dinner. Yeah. Did you? I'll take care of dinner. I brought you the meat and I took it in and I plated it

and I did all the salads and the sides and I set the table and I'll do the dishes. I did dinner. You didn't though. You did, Jay. You did it. Especially with did dinner. You didn't though, did you? You didn't.

Especially with a steak. You cooked it for what? Six minutes! Oh, a bit too long. Number four on the list of the top six things the first male humanoid robot did next for the rest of his day.

Wolf whistled at a passing female journalist. Just couldn't help himself. Yeah, couldn't help it. Just happened. Did he call her toots? Probably. In both Arabic and English.

Oh, well. We know he's bisexual. Number three on the list of the top six things the first male humanoid robot did for the rest of his day. Did a workout, but then after the workout didn't stretch at all. And then later on in the day complained about how sore and stiff he was. Yeah, I've really got to prioritize stretching. I don't ever do it. I've been saying that for the entirety of my life. I was going to say, I've been saying that for at least two decades. Yeah. I've really got to prioritise stretching. I don't even do it. I've been saying that for the entirety of my life.

I was going to say, I've been saying that for at least two decades. Yeah. I've really got to stretch more. Number two on the list of the top six things the first male humanoid robot did for the rest of his day. Sitting near the nap, went to the bedroom, pulled the curtains and opened it up in an incognito mode. Oh, naughty. He's a male. Wow.

He's a bloody red-blooded male. He's close too. And number one in the list of the top six things the first male humanoid robot did for the rest of his day. Told his partner there wasn't any money for that thing she wanted to do and then bought himself a new power tool that cost about 600 bucks. But it's going to serve the house, isn't it?

It is. It's not a personal purchase. It's for the betterment of the property. Unlike that jacket you'll wear twice. Hey. Stop mentioning this jacket. That upsized drop saw, it's going to get used so much. So much.

About as much as a jacket? Probably. Yeah. Probably. Probably. That's today's Top 6. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Probably. Yeah. Probably. Probably. That's today's Top 6. A woman was witnessed in a Woolies in Australia going into the supermarket, shuffling her way towards the berries aisle.

Berries? Berries. Berries. Opening up a punnet of blueberries. Yeah. Opening them up, picking up each individual blueberry, squeezing them. Oh, no. Some to the point of bursting, popping them back,

closing the tray, putting them down, grabbing another tray and leaving. And this was all witnessed by another woman who then got in a car and was like, who? What? She was selecting individual blueberries. When she selected her train, had she opened that one as well? No. What? She got a

freshie. Oh, so she was just testing. Oh no, sorry. She did to another two punnets. So three punnets before grabbing a fourth and walking away. Oh no. Surely of those three punnets before grabbing a fourth and walking away. Oh, no. Surely of those three punnets,

you would make up one punnet of the best blueberries. Nah, she was just picking them up. Squeeze. When I buy, like, blueberries or raspberries, only when they're on special, because otherwise they're, like, a million dollars. Yeah. You hold them up and you look for, like... Juice and mould.

Juice and mould. Like, raspberries, juice? No, raspberries, mould. Blueberries, wrinkles.berries mould Blueberries wrinkles Yes Blueberries wrinkles Or whiteness Both of them juice Yeah

And boysenberries And you just like You don't open the lid You never open the lid No It's not an avocado You can't squeeze it The only thing

I would say the only things In the fruit and vegetable aisle That you're allowed to finger Avocados Well You can flick the bean off People say that you're allowed to finger. Avocados. You can flick the bean off. People say that you're meant to push the top. The top little nub. No, you don't push it in, you roll it back because then you can

look in and if it's green, that's the colour. No, but then you roll it off and if it's too hard, you pop it back in. No, I flick that thing right off and then I'll look at it and be like, nope, and pop it down. I'm the primary flicker. You're like grenading.

You're deepening the grenade. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then putting it back in amongst the grenades. I don't even know what else you're allowed to finger in the fruit and vegetable aisle. Oh, no, stone fruits. Light, yeah, but stone fruits, light squeeze. Nectarines, light nectarines, peaches. Peaches, yeah.

Because you want to know if a peach has got a bit of give. You don't want a hard, hard peach. Yeah. Apples, you've got to check they're not flowery. And you can always tell. I don't squeeze apples. I can tell an apple visually. Visually.

I mean, that's also the brand of apple you're buying. Yeah, but a gala can be deceptive. It looks good. Yes, that's flowery. You don't buy a gala. That's why you don't buy a gala. Yeah, but sometimes they're the only ones. No, it's at the bottom of the list.

No, you buy a rose. Rose. At the top of the list. No, you buy a rose. Rose, top of the list. The sweet tangy ones. Yeah, the sweet tangy ones. Very, really pinch. That's what I've got. Sweet tango. Yeah, beautiful.

That's a good one. That's going to be crunchy regardless. It's a good one. You've picked an ugly one, though. Granny Smith. No, look. It's beautiful. You look at the rear end.

What? It's an apple. You've forgotten about the back. It's beautiful. You've done the front of the hair, but you've left the back. I'm not worth it. You're such a fruit snob. Yeah.

You are such a fruit snob. I'm actually allowing, I'm giving apples a lot of leeway this season. Why? Well, because they got wiped out, didn't they? Yeah. Yeah, we've got to forgive. We've got to forgive and forget. We're not living in a, we're not living in a, we're not living in bloody 2016 where you

could be fussy about your apples. You've got to take what you can get in this crazy world. Well, the debate online is some people are like, most people are saying like, oh, that's gross. And thank God we wash them when we get home. Do we? Do we? Or we eat them in the car.

Well, individual blueberries. After hearing this, I'm definitely washing my blueberries now. Oh, my yuck. Same. ZM's Fletchletchborn and Hayley. Fletchborn and Hayley, silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole,

silly little pole. Ideally, how long do you like the movies to be? That is to say, Silly Little Pong? Under two. We had three options. One to two, two to three, or three plus. Three plus received zero percent. Zero percent.

Wow, that's incredible. I feel like there's been a real increase in movies over three. Like two of the Oscars, I don't know. Killers? Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer were both three hours and like a few minutes. Then you think of your avatars, they're always plus three. All your Lord of the Rings, they've always been plus three. Yeah. Yeah, Scorsese loves a plus three.

But like I reckon the ideal sweet spot is like an hour and a half, an hour 45. Yeah. Two hours. You don't want to feel ripped off. When it's over too quick, you're like, Billy was in there. Yeah. Hour 40. Two and a quarter hours for The Holdovers, which was also nominated.

Hour 57 for American Fiction. Have you seen The Holdovers? No. It's really good Is it? Yeah Paul Giamatti's awesome Oh yeah I love him Yeah

He's great Zone of Interest I've never heard of that That was nominated That was One Hour 46 Now we're talking Now we're talking What was Barbie?

Barbie was over two hours eh? Barbie was One Hour 54 Poor Things Two Hours 21 That's long I didn't think that movie Had two hours 21. That's long. I didn't think that movie had two hours 21 in it. I don't mind a long movie if it's at the movies.

But when it's like, you know, you're thinking like, can I have a three-hour movie in me before bed? Yeah. You know, like I'm pushing bedtime here. Can I do a three-hour movie? You're like, I'm pushing bedtime here. Can I do a three-hour movie? You're like, eh. I believe Zone of Interest is the, like, Holocaust-y film. Didn't it win Best International Film? Oh, right. Okay.

Well, nominated for that. But, yeah, Flowers of the Killer Moon rocking in at three hours 26. Yeah, see, that's so long. Too long. That's long, my dude. I mean, I've not seen it, but I'll happily watch it and give you some edit points. So, Little Pole, one to two hours was the winner. 78% of people won between one and two hours.

22% between two and three. Three plus, zero percent. We're a TikTok generation, you know? Yeah. Our very short attention spans. The old school movie makers, they want that three hours to tell a story and show their craft. Make a TV show, my dude. Make a limited miniseries.

So I can watch them in sort of preordained one hour chunks. Yeah. True dat. Connor says, if it's a comedy, one to two hours. When it's a masterpiece like Oppenheimer, it needs to be two to three hours. Or I will allow just over three. My tip is to tap out once the bomb successfully explodes. You don't need the rest.

But then you miss all the... It was like Sound of Music. We stopped watching before the Nazis came as children. It's a beautiful musical before that. Yeah. And then the Nazis come. Nazis will ruin anything. Stupid Nazis.

I'll say it. I'm not afraid to go on record and say I'm anti the Nazis. I'll say it. I'm not afraid to go on record and say I'm anti the Nazis. Yeah, right. Do you know what? I like to stay away from the political spotlight. I'm going to join you there. You're going to join there? I handle Sproul and I'm anti-Nazi.

No good. Good, good. Please do not take an stance. No, quiet on the Nazi front. Move on. Obviously anti. Quiet on the Nazi front. Beth says,

I prefer them to be in a miniseries format. I will watch four hours of a miniseries, no issue. But I only really watch movies when flying, otherwise too much of a time commitment. Very contradictory. Isn't that weird? Like, yeah,

we will literally spend hours watching TV. Multiple series. Yeah. The binge watch. Yeah. But you can tap out at every market but a movie you've kind of got to watch it all at once. And the sort of

ebbs and flows of television are different to a movie. Yeah. And a movie if you pause it halfway through you don't get the recap if you come back to it a week later. No you've got to kind of like rewind a bit. They need a, they need, they've got skip intro. Yeah. On most streaming services they don't. Just skip recap.

Yeah. Some do. just skip recap. Yeah. Some do. Some do. I've not noticed. Disney's got a skip recap. Because I hate the, sometimes the recaps of TV shows give away what's going to happen. Because they'll recap something that happened like seven episodes ago. And you're like, oh, that character.

And then all of a sudden they appear and you're like, of course they did. And then they die before the end of the episode. Yeah. Aaron says anything past two and I'll definitely need a little nap. Ryan said, make it worthwhile if it's long but give me an intermission if I'm going to the cinema. Yeah.

Just watched a short film on Netflix. 18 hours. Absolutely perfect. I'm like a 90 to 140 minute person, says Brianne. 140 minutes is for a good movie that's usually part of the series. 90 is for romance or comedy. Yeah. Paul often, over two hour, often equates the writing and editing that could have been tighter.

Oh, wow. Sometimes. I'm often thinking you need to get on with this. He's got some notes there for the director and writers. For Martin Scorsese. Ten hours broken into one hour episodes is ideal. Movies are too short after having an amazing series. Yeah,

that's so true. Yeah, but you don't get to watch it in the cinema. You know? Like, you don't get the big sort of red carpet thing with TV. Yeah, that's true. Sometimes the chairs aren't as good as just lying on the ground with a pillow. I chose three hours. Holly must have been the one person that voted for three hours plus,

but because it was under 1%, it registered as zero. Wow, okay. I chose three hours, but mainly with Lord of the Rings in mind. The better, the longer. Otherwise, it's going to be 90 minutes. Yeah. So that's a silly little poll. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley.

Sabrina Carpenter, Feather on ZM. Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. It's eight little part. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Sabrina Carpenter, Feather on ZM. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. It's eight past seven. Made a red carpet debut with Barry Keegan, didn't she? Don't worry, guys. Just bring a bit of pop culture to the show. Are they together? Yeah.

I didn't know they were together. Yeah. At Girls, Sabrina Carpenter and Salt Burn star Barry Keegan. Kogan. Kogan. Spotted together. Whatever. It's Phil Keegan, isn't it? And I Keegan. Kogan. Kogan. Spotted together. Whatever. It's Phil Keegan, isn't it?

And I think it's Kogan as well. Yeah, because it's Irish. Spotted together and they made their red carpet debut. Oh, that's really cute. Don't worry about the 42-year-old guy bringing the hot pop culture. She was Taylor Swift's opener, eh? Oh, wow. She's really.

Yeah. Finger on the pulse. Finger on the pulse here. It is all go for her. It is all. She is peaked. She's right. Yeah. Finger on the pulse. Finger on the pulse here. It is all go for her. She is peaked. She's made a designate breakfast. Now, experts are issuing a warning for Stanley Cup owners. Now, I was going to say this includes you, Vaughn, but you've got a dupe.

And it's your kid's hand-me-down dupe. Covered in cat stickers. Yeah. And, man, you have been peeing ferociously. Dude, I've been really hooning the water. I reckon I've been drinking three litres of water a day. I was just waiting at the kitchen for Vaughan to fill that thing up so I could fill my coffee cup.

You're taking all the water. It drained the water filter. Yeah, I know it did. And it holds so much in like a reservoir. And then it has to refill the reservoir. Yeah, I know it did. And it holds so much in like a reservoir. And then it has to refill the reservoir. It depleted the reservoir. My bottle's empty. Am I waiting for the reservoir to fill?

Your bottle's ugly as. What's the story here? Well, this is just like a pump bottle, basically. But it's a renewable, you know, made out of sea plastics. Because I've lost my Frank Green. You throw it again. I don't know. I slipped it. It slipped out of my hand.

Did you break my car radio? Did you have a rage toss? It's not why it's dented. It slipped from my hand ferociously and violently. Anyway, they've issued a warning to Stanley Cup users to not leave their Stanley Cups in their car visible

because there's been a huge increase in people breaking into cars to steal Stanley Cups. That just feels like too much effort. It's marketing itself now. The Cup's so popular, people are breaking and entering to get there. I'm looking at prices anywhere between $80 and $100. Yeah. Some of the-

I saw a limited edition one on Facebook Marketplace for 280. What was nice about it? It was a collab with a business. Oh, right. That I won't mention is it's in direct competition to our show sponsor, McCafe. Oh, okay. Make McCafe your first stop. Great things are brewing.

Don't read the- I do, that's my job. He also did a very good job. He did a great job. With a didn't do a very good job. Oh, he did. Great day's start with a great coffee. Drive through at the cafe. They probably put it in your Stanley flask if you ask them. I don't know if they did pretty.

Ask them. You might need to buy like eight coffees to fill up. Yeah, I know. That's what. Those things are gigantic. It feels like a leader. But you think people would break into cars for things, for things worth less than 98 or $80. 100%.

I mean, I've only had my car broken into once, I think. And when I say broken into, the doors didn't lock. So I'm like, fair game. It was my 92 Mitsubishi Mirage. And they broke it and they took my radio. You know, like we had one of those pull out pioneer radios Did you not explain to the whole radio?

The whole thing and it had my Black Eyed Peas Elefunk CD What an album! How are you supposed to find the love? Don't fuck with my heart That was an Elefunk Or was that the don't get

Let's get it started Let's get it started But I had the album so it was you know I was bobbing my head like epilepsy To quote them Did you say hey mama Hey mama hey When I opened the door I literally said

No no no no don't fuck with my heart Did you not take off your face? Do people still take off their faceplates? No, I didn't take off my faceplate. People do that. I know. It's like how ugly. I used to take off my faceplate when I had a car.

Of course, you'd be mad not to because it's a turd. Because they couldn't steal the whole head unit. And then there was a little red light. So it made people not break in. But I've only ever had my car when I had a car. That was in the 1990-200 prelude. Yeah, it was a prelude. I think it was a 94. I think it was a 94.

I think it was a 94. It was a 94. But the tail end of that is not only did they steal my radio and my Alephunk Black Eyed Peas CD, but they stole a set of fresh undies from a glove box. That was the... Shut up. Just shut up.

Shut up. I know. Shut up. Just shut up. Shut up. No way. Where is the love? Am I right?

Where is the love? In your undies That's why they stole them What a haul So they open up The glove box And they're like Undies

They were fresh Like a fresh Just in case set Yuck No gross What kind were they Were they a nice pair Granny pennies

Even back then Head to toe Even back then Do you reckon they stole it Probably back then I would have had Slightly nicer What year was this?

Because I was just assuming it was 2003 when the black guy plays Alephunks. Yeah. No, 2008. Okay. You were still listening to the Alephunk album in 2008. And I still do today. It's a great album. Other than Let's Get It Started. Yeah, absolutely.

Anyway, I think we should take some calls of the wildest and weirdest thing that's been stolen from your car. Like, I often see people leave like a dollar or two dollar coin in the drinks holder. Oh my God, Aaron says this to me all the time. Because I've got my little corn holder. I've got a corn holder. It's corn hole. Corn CDs.

You've got a corn hole game in the back side of your car. You've got a corn holder in the front. But my coin holder is exposed because I've got my charger in the cigarette thing. Right. And he's always like, don't leave your coins laying around. People would literally smash a window to steal like five bucks of coins. 100% they

would. Let's take some calls. 0800 DALZITAN. We'd love to hear from you this morning. You can text through 9696. What's the wild thing that was stolen from your car? Play ZM's Fletch Vodanale. Play ZM. What was stolen from your car that sort of made no sense?

Because apparently there was a rise in cars being broken into to steal Stanley Cups that are in the cup holders. But they're like $80, $90 so it kind of does make sense. Yeah, I get it. But you wouldn't think of someone stealing a drink bottle out of your car. Yeah, when you think it's just a drink bottle. That's what makes it seem insane.

But we're getting some messages in of the random and wild things that have been stolen from your car. I love how often people are texting in, but their phone is auto-correcting car to cat. Because they say, my cat got broken into and they stole my cat charger for my phone. Don't break into a cat. Especially don't steal the charger.

Ella, what was stolen? Oh, hello. I'm a long-time listener, first-time caller. Yay! Good to be here. Good to be here. Welcome, Ella. Welcome.

Ella, Ella, Ella. Great to have you on the show, finally. I honestly can't believe it's taken us this long to get her on. We've been trying, haven't we? Coming up with topics every day to talk about, thinking, I wonder if Ella will call today. Yeah, we have. And now she's here.

And she's done it. So this was your partner's, something of your partner's that was stolen? Yes. So his car was parked up the drive and there was a fence next to it, so quite hard to get into. And his car was parked up the drive and there was a fence next to it, so quite hard to get into. And his car got broken into and he was obviously very worried in the morning.

The only thing that was stolen, though, was his school jacket. And he's a teacher, so it wasn't like it was a cool leasers jacket or anything like that. It was just a school, high school teacher jacket. Okay. The only problem was that his school keys were in the jacket, so all of the school had to be replaced. Oh, my God. Nice.

Yeah, because it would be pretty obvious what the keys were for because it would have the crest of the school on the jacket, wouldn't it? And there'd be so many keys for a school. So many. Oh, yeah. How much? Was that an insurance thing or did they have to pay?

Did they have to pay? It was quite pricey. I think the school paid for it, but at the time he was going for a full-time job. He was going for a permanent job. He was in part-time. Oh, no. Did he get it?

He's still there to this day. Oh, God. It's not his fault, is it? I mean, I guess he's kind of paying off the keys. You know, bosses are always like, remember that time we replaced all the keys? Yeah, hang on. We won't get your pay rise.

Yeah. We would have loved to, but, you know, the keys. Exactly. Ella, thank you. Evie, your car was broken into? Yeah. They actually broke in to steal the car altogether, but when they caught the guy, like five days later,

he had my ox cord in his pocket still. Never got the car back, but... Wait, so you got an... Those cords, though, they're always handy. Yeah. He caught stealing another car, and he had my ox cord in his pocket. Must have been one of those

posh ox cords, you know? Was it a nice, like a braided ox cord? Yeah, or gold-plated ends. Ohh ox cords, you know. Was it a nice, like a braided ox cord? Yeah, or gold-plated ends. Oh, yeah, for sound quality. A puddley. A puddley. A puddley. Was that a brand?

I think it was. A $9 one from the warehouse. Oh! Okay. Well, good ox cord. Great ad for the warehouse. Thank you, Jay. What was stolen from your car

that was a little unusual? My juggling gear. So your balls, your knives, the club. Can I just stop and say how brave it was for you to call up and admit to the nation that you juggle? You're in safe hands. Shannon's boyfriend is a magician, so don't worry.

He's a magician and juggler. Aaron's a trained clown. Aaron went to clown school in France, so don't worry. But can Aaron juggle knives like Jay can? No, he can't, but he does great character work. And Margaret, Fletcher's Margaret, mime. She is a mime. That's why we never hear of her.

No, we never hear from her because she acts like she's stuck in a box the whole time. I need to talk about juggling knives, Jay. How do you start juggling knives? Do you start with balls? Yeah, you start with balls and you just work your way out. What's the coolest thing you've ever juggled? Basketballs. Oh, yeah, because they'd hit each other on the way up.

Yeah. What about chainsaws? Oh, no. Axes? No, just knives. Okay. What about, like, work-life, social-life balance? That's what I juggle.

That's probably the hardest thing I've had to juggle. That's a very hard thing to juggle. So when they took you... Every day. Every day. They took your juggling gear, did you recover it? No. I don't know.

There must be some black market for juggling gear. I'm not sure. What was it? The pins. What was your juggling gear? I'm not sure. What was it? The pins. What was your juggling gear? Balls, pins, a selection of things, a bag full of knickknacks? Yeah, it was probably about maybe $2,000. Oh, mate.

I just think because when I had my bag in the backseat of swimming gear stolen, they just see a bag and take it and run. Yeah. And then they get home and they're like, oh, goddammit, it's juggling gear. Oh, it's a speedo. It's a speedo and some goggles. Jay, thank you. Some messages in.

I had my Darude CD stolen and a pair of gumboots. Losing the CD hurt more than the gumboots. Yeah, of course. Gumboots are replaceable. No more sandstorm for you. Yeah, they broke into Steeler Radar. It was a hidden radar, but it had dots on the windscreen, and they must have known where I indicated.

But they also stole a box of tampons from the glove box while they were there. Well, maybe that's why they broke in, because they were menstruating. They were absolutely in a rage, in a menstrual rage. And then they saw the tampons and they thought, oh, thank God. That's when you've done all of your car break-ins. When I break it, it's so out of character. Someone said a box of manky golf balls that are bought second

hand from the driving range. I don't know if they thought they were going to be better golf balls or not. What use is that? Had my car stolen and they stole all of the wrapped Christmas presents that were in the boot. Jokes on them they were children's presents. It's not a joke on them is it? It's a joke on the children

that missed out on the presents. Yeah. I had a gag gift from my best friend stolen from the car. I had a gag and I was like, well, you know.

You want that back. It was a vodka bottle full of water. It was an inside joke but it made for an interesting police report. I probably wouldn't even put that on the police report.

No, I wouldn't put that on the report. Unless I said it was an actual bottle of vodka. Yeah, you would claim it. Yeah. The seatbelt's out of my Toyota Sinus. What?

They used it to steal slash tow a flash car further up the street. So they stole the seatbelts because they lacked the tow rope. Oh, right. Yeah. That's weird, eh? Because there feels like too many layers. You're not prepared enough to have brought a rope. Bizarre.

My Demio got stolen. They did some crimes in it. Classic. Did some crimes in it. Then got burnt out, but they took my monogrammed leopard print keep cup and my Sweet Valley High board game from the boot that I just purchased.

Oh, no. Sweet Valley High. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Okay, I have a, I've got two graphs in front of me because I thought maybe. I think it's pronounced giraffes. Oh, giraffes.

Giraffes. Giraffes. Giraffes. I beg your pardon. Giraffes are the African animal long neck. No, it's a giraffe of water. Oh. Yeah.

It's a giraffe. Those things at the zoo are called giraffes. Giraffes. Yeah. And the thing you've got is a giraffe of water. Oh. Yeah. It's a carafe. Those things at the zoo are called carafes. Carafes. Yeah. And the thing you've got is a garafe. A garafe. Of lines and stuff. Right.

Because my original carafe, oh, now I've got it. Garafe. Carafe. Giraffe. My original giraffe, thank you, was between the years of 1950. Actually, I've just had word that a giraffe is when there's sort of like a bit of wind getting in. Oh, like under the door.

The thing you've got is a giraffe. That's a giraffe. I've got a giraffe stopper. You've got a giraffe stopper. What you've got in front of you, the lines mathematically, that's called a giraffe. Well, it's a giraffe. A giraffe. I thought it was a giraffe. Tall animal at the zoo. Giraffe.

Water. Water. By the zoo. Carrass. Water. Water. By the bed. Giraffe. Okay, so what have I got? The giraffe. A giraffe. I have in front of me a couple of giraffes.

Okay. I'm not sure now. I've got a couple of giraffes in front of me, one of which starts from 1950 to the year 2020, one of which starts in 1995. So I think slightly more relevant, I'll go the 1995. No, not in 50. Okay, you want to go to the 1950s.

Truly a wonderful, the golden age of drafts. Okay. Yeah. So basically it was a study done that surveyed couples who had met in the 1950s all the way through to the 2020s. Okay. How they met. Ooh.

Giving them, and then it traced sort of the trends right based on how many people said they met here here here the trends over the last 70 years dance halls so um post-world war two dance halls so the the options were through family college so university, neighbours, live in close proximity, work, through friends, grade school, so primary and I guess high school in there, bar or social event, and then added in later only as an option from 1980, online. Okay. From 1980?

Imagine meeting online in the 1980s. Well, no. Most apps were in the 1980s. Well no, most apps were like 2010s. 2010s, yeah. But there is, so on the 1980s so the red line that I'm showing the boys now is online

which obviously from the year 1980 to 2010 it just goes in an almost vertical line up. Straight up. As the most popular. Whereas Through Friends grew from the 1950s right up to about like almost 40% of people meeting. And then this is through friends and then plummeting in 2020. So before dating apps, it was majority through friends. Yeah.

Wow. Through friends. And then the next one would be through work from the 1950s, really peaking in the 70s and 80s. Well, that was about that woman's work. Oh, yeah, because if you think about it,

the workforce would have been predominantly male prior. Until then, you just had to hook up with bloody Gary and accounts, didn't you? Yeah. Oh, I don't want to hook up with Gary. No, you wouldn't have been allowed because you're not at work.

Yeah, true. So that is like- That's why we had to do it. I don't want to hook up with Gary. No, you wouldn't have been allowed because you're not at work. Yeah, true. That's why we had to hook up with Gary. Had to do it. In the 50s, it's quite low, but around 15% of people meeting in the workplace. Well, women were too busy having babies. In the 50s, we had to repopulate the earth after a while or two.

Yeah, but even in 2020, that's plummeted right down. Your other options being college, that's kind of laid quite flat the whole time. Neighbours, that's plummeted right down. Your other options being college, that's kind of laid quite flat the whole time. Neighbours, that's gone right down. Through family, plummeting down. That would have been massive back in the day. I'm pretty sure one of my sets of grandparents was a family, like we marry that family.

Which now you can't imagine anything worse, imagine you're like auntie or uncle or your parents saying, we've got a lovely fellow for you to meet. And you've got to meet them because we want to keep this land and the family. So in the 1950s through to the 1970s through family was second only to through friends. Wow. And then it came down

underneath work and bar social occasion. Wow, okay. Now even bar social occasion was quite high in the 1950s, around 15%, but it didn't really peak that much until the 90s, and that's when we were all bloody. Hidden to clubs. Hidden to clubs.

Okay. And it's had a soft taper down in the 2020s because we're still going out and hooking up. That's where you met your wife, into club. That's correct. But the online line, like these lines all follow a similar shape, like a sort of follow a similar shape, like a sort of softer rise and fall, bell curve,

whereas online is like flat, boom. You've done a fantastic job describing that giraffe for the graph. Thank you. The graph. I wanted to know how you were going to do it. I'm very impressed with your ability to describe a graph. Draft, draft, draft. The craft was quite hard.

I can see it, but I wanted the listener to see it visually as well. Basically, if you're not on an app now, you're not meeting people. But we're not even connecting our friends with hookups now. Because I've had this before with single friends who were like, man, I'd love to date someone. And I'd rack my brain like, who could I hook you up with? No one. So what are the top three now then?

As it stands, what are the top three now then? As it stands, what are the top three remaining? They're all low. Yeah. But, so online, number one by a country mile. Yep.

And then just above, like, and then dropping well below 10% is through friends. Just below that is work. Just below that is bar. Works are still above bar. But the types of workplaces are like, no. Yeah. You're not allowed to. Which is work. Just below that is bar. Works are still above bar. But the haps of workplaces are like, no. Yeah.

You're not allowed to. Which is good. Yeah, they really, when we came in and we were like, we want to be a thruffle, we want to be a thruffle, and they were like, no, it's going to complicate the show. It's like, cool, you guys are so square. Yeah. That was because I sent them an email on the way

and I'm like, you've got to nix this. What? I don't want to be part of this. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. We left you on the way and I'm like, you've got to nix this. I don't want to be part of this. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We left you on the tease of someone nearly burnt their house down and he said out of the six of us, guess who? Shannon, isn't it?

Yeah. Anyone was going to burn their house down yesterday. Was this just a ploy to get some hot fireman over? No, it's my parents' house as well. So risky business. Oh, yeah. I just wanted a little snack, so I was going to have some kale chips. I just wanted a little snack.

Oh, slither a little snack. Yeah, I wanted a snack, so I was like, I'll cook up some kale chips. Like I always... No, like I was having like a treat plate, you know, that like mentality of like one healthy thing

and then you can eat everything else you want because you're still having a healthy thing on the plate. Yeah, so there's like M&Ms's and licorice and like sweets. But it's balanced. But balanced kale chips. So I was making kale chips. Do this all the time in the air fryer.

Four minutes. Beautiful. Super quick. Do they come out like super crispy? Crispy. The inventor of the air fryer did not want people air frying kale. I wanted kale chips having nuggies.

Genuinely delicious. Genuinely delicious. Well, kale chips are genuinely delicious. Genuinely delicious. Well, I think you're right, Vaughan, because I started, within a minute I smelt burning and I was like, wow, this air fryer is quick. This is good. And so I just left it and I went to my room and grabbed my bottle. Hang on, hang on, hang on.

So you smelt burning. Yes. And you thought, wow, and then you left it. Yeah, but it wasn't like concerning burning it just smelt like kale real fast concerning burning it sounds like something you'd say to the doctor I have some concerning burning

so I come back and there's a minute to go and I come back in and I see a lot of smoke coming out of the air fryer like not the basket but the top and I was like ooh so I open it and I see you know how the air fryer it like not the basket, but the top. Oh, no. And I was like, ooh. So I open it and I see, you know how the air fryer, it's got a hot element at the top?

Yeah. And it kind of goes. Yeah. It goes, sorry, what? It goes, what? It goes, what? Sounds like she's got like itchy ears. Donald Duck.

The new Disney thing, the air fryer. In that hot element was about two pieces of kale on fire. They were red hot. Do you reckon that the air... It took it up. It took it up. You're telling me kale was red hot? Yes. I didn't know it would do that.

I don't think kale can get red hot. Well, it did. Like lava. Yeah. Like metal gets red hot. I panicked and I know you're going to make fun of me and I'm not lying I grabbed a knife It was the nearest thing near me Because I used a knife to cut the kale

Panicked Wedged the kale off the thing and it flopped Onto the bottom Ash everywhere And smoke everywhere I start panicking. This is not my house. I'm a guest.

Like, what do I do? So then I just hid it all, and I put it in the bin. I messaged you guys being like, uh-oh, I might have started a fire. The air fryer smoked for about 20 minutes after the fact. Did you unplug it at the wall? Well, no. So then I put the kale back in for a second just to finish it off because it was soggy still. What the hell? No, no. So then I put the kale back in for a second just to finish it off because it was soggy still.

What the hell? No, but I was listening. No, I listened. So I stood next to it this time, supervised kale. Okay. And I heard it. So I pulled it out and I said, no, soggy kale for me today. At this point, we're lucky she didn't throw a bloody bottle of water over it to try to cool it down.

I think it's meant for heavier items. Well, but I've made kale chips in there before and there's no rule. Like no one said don't do this and then I did it. I just... Were your parents home? No.

And when they got home, was there a lingering smell of... So much smoke. I nearly set your house on fire. There was ash still on the bench. Like it had kind of spread apart. And I said, listen, I did start a minor smoke, but it's kind of spread apart and I said, listen I did

start a minor smoke but it's sorted, you will smell it also, you probably will hear this on the radio tomorrow don't worry, it was under control once I went back but I did leave it unsupervised I wouldn't have admitted that I wouldn't have admitted that to them

I respect them and I should have You do it once and they'll never let you. It's like when I left my GHD on. And I went to high school and I came back and my mum had confiscated it. I'm going to have my kale revoked from me now. Yeah, you will. No kale. Yeah, it was not good.

So the kale's too light. And when the air starts circulating, you've just got like a leaf. Yeah. You might need a cage or a grill or something. Yeah, yeah. And I mean, upon reflection, shouldn't have tried it a second time. Should have just eaten your M&M's. Eat your M&M's next time.

Just eat M&M's next time. Yeah, okay. Thank you. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I haven't heard the word taxi chits for a while. Fletch just screamed. I said, let's get some taxi chits. So we can get after.

And I was like, what is it, 2006? That's a corporate thing, guys. We've got chips. That's a corporate thing. We've got chips. We're over a candidate. We're talking about going somewhere. Anyway, speaking of going places,

I have a list of five destinations for people who love average temperatures. We're talking, we're not going to, you know, Bangkok, 39 degree humidity, heat, or we're not going to Norway, negative four. Yeah. The people that love, what would you call a mid 21, 22? Like almost like a spring. Or a New Zealand like summer.

I just feel like New Zealand's mid. We are mid. It can be quite humid in places. But there's nothing worse. I think we get blaringly hot in inland places in New Zealand. But there's nothing, like you can go toly hot in inland places in New Zealand. Yeah. But there's nothing like you can go to an amazing place and it's 40 something degrees. You can't stay out

too long. So looking at these average temps that they've given this list of five places to visit, if you like a mid, it's between 16 and 19. Degrees Celsius? Yeah, 18. Oh no. It's gotta be hotter. I want it between 20 and 25. Same. I love it between 20 and 25.

Same. I love 23. Like a Raro. Is that a Raro? Dude. Yeah, that's a Raro, isn't it? Park yourself up with a cocktail. We should get some taxi chits and get them to drive us to Raro. Yeah.

Hells yes. Fishburger at the mooring. Okay, here's the list. Plug me in. And this is somewhere, the first one, I know you love this place, Fletch, Medellin in Colombia. Oh, yeah. What's known as the city of eternal spring.

Average temp, 18 degrees. It is. It's all year round. It's always beautiful. Bustling, vibrant city in Colombia set against a backdrop of jagged peaks. Natural beauty makes the perfect setting for hiking, zip lining, and horseback riding. Is it pretty?

Excuse me. I'm yawning. Very bored. How can I make this more fun for you? How can I spice this up? ziplining and horseback riding is it pretty excuse me I'm yawning very bored how can I make this more fun for you how can I spice this up maybe talk about places I've been

or will ever go or could afford to go right now so it needs to be within like driving distance of my home try happy

no can't afford to get there can't afford to stay there once I get there what were you going to say how close is Midellin to the... Equator. Equator.

Because that's the key to a consistent temp, right? Oh, it's the borders of Ecuador. Isn't that on the equator? Ecuador! Named after the equator. The bananas. The banana belt. But it's because it's in the Andes.

It's high elevation. So that's what makes it cooler. Gotcha. Because it's pretty cold. It's a little bit cooler. Yeah. How do I pronounce Truilo? Truilo.

Tru. T-R-U-J-I-L-L-O. I'm not up to that on Duolingo Spanish. I have no idea. T-R-U-J-I-L-L-O. J-I-L-L-O. Truilo. Whereabouts is that?

Peru. Average temp 17 degrees. Oh yeah, see that's nice. You'd be forgiven for thinking you'd travelled back in time with a visit to this colonial era beautiful spot in Peru. If you go in January, beautiful. Trujillo. Trujillo.

Trujillo. No J or L, you confuse me. Okay, George in South Africa. Average temp 18 degrees. George or George? George. It's just called George. One of the oldest towns in South Africa.

That's like having a town called Kevin. Nestled in the Cape Wildflower floral kingdom. So you can have lots of scenic landscapes. They've got a giant strawberry. Repeat. They've got a giant strawberry. What, like a tourist attraction? Yeah, it's a giant peach.

That's kind of our thing as a country. More like the Te Puke one, though, where you can go up into the strawberry. Oh a tourist attraction. Yeah, it's a giant peach. It's kind of our thing as a country. More like the Te Puke one, though, where you can go up into the strawberry. Oh, yeah, okay. It's not gorgeous, actually. This is the part of South Africa. The next one, Serengeti. Okay.

Tanzania. 18 degrees. Beautiful national parks. Go and see the Hanimos. But it doesn't get too hot or too cold. Okay. Exactly. And the final one on this list of the great places to go

if you love an average temperature. Is it Thai happy? It's Mexico. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah. No, but Mexico can get really hot. I thought so. 16 degrees.

On Mexico City or the beaches? Look no further than Mexico City. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, because that's inland. Okay. Beautiful food steeped in history, surrounded by art. It's amazing. Markets, museums, gorgeous. Are the headless bodies still turning up?

Oh, yeah, they'll be the occasional one. They look away in a headless body. In some of the towns with the cartels, yes, born they are. Picking it apart. God, you are. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. It is time for the impossible phone-in topic Were you in an ad as a child?

TV commercials Obviously what we're aiming for And like what did you get paid? Did your parents keep the money? Oh yes I went to school with a girl who was always in lots of ads She had like really big ginger curly hair, gorge. And I'm pretty sure she never got any of it.

Oh, what? Really? The parents just sensed it? So she stood out. Yeah, she stood out. She was a beautiful, unique looking girl. I was too much of a minger to ever get a cast in a TV ad. Also, we lived in New Plymouth and TV ads weren't made there.

No, they certainly weren't. They were big cities. Yeah. So I reckon that's the only reason I wasn't, to be honest. I think so. No, I've seen photos of you as a kid. Cute as a button. Yeah.

Blonde hair, so blonde. I know. We are talking about Mia Gravadio, who was six years old when she became known for the Spanish catchphrase, You could probably do this because you do duolingo. Well, no, because you know I'm not a... I'm starting to feel like this Duolingo is such a waste of time. No, because I'm only 100 and something days into Duolingo. I have actually asked Dr. Shawnee to kick you off the family plan. I said, he is taking the person with the Duolingo.

You are giving it to him for free. No, I'm on the Dr. Shawnee Duolingo plan. Dr. Shawnee is going to remove you. I must remind him actually that somebody renews his Duolingo. You are giving it to him for free. No, I'm on the Dr. Shawnee Duolingo plan. Dr. Shawnee is going to remove you. I must remind him actually that somebody renews his Duolingo. I'm not paying full price because you have to pay for Duolingo. Twice we've asked you for Spanish pronunciation in this show alone, puppy. Yeah, because I haven't done all the words. Puppy, listen, puppy.

Mamacita, I haven't done all the words yet. Puppy, listen to me. You're not improving. Por favor, por favor. He's better than you. Si, si, si. I don't know if he is. God, there's one authentic puppy in this studio.

Yes. Si, puppy. Si, puppy. Porque no los dos means why not have both? Okay. And it's from a 2010 old El Paso commercial where they were arguing over if they were going to have crunchy tacos, a yuck or delicious soft shell tacos, the only way you should ever eat tacos.

The best, yeah. And so this girl in the ad is how old at the time? Six at the time in 2010. So 14 years later, she's 20 and she's back in the spotlight. And shame on Old El Paso for not signing her into a lifetime contract because she's gone and promoted another opposition spice. And this ad was made in Australia, not Mexico. What?

And she is not Mexican. What? What? She's Indonesian and Ecuadorian. Oh, okay. Okay, yeah. So close enough they said in Australia in 2010. Close enough that's in Australia right now.

Yeah. Right, we need a little brown kid. What kind of brown? Dumb question over there. Dumb question. Brown is brown. This is Australia. Hola.

Hola. Dora? Pitterambora. So, yes. She's 20 years old and she's back on the spotlight. She's popped up now advertising some, like, spice packets you can buy at the supermarket. Some other food product, yeah. But is this for the competition?

Jeepers. No loyalty these days. Good on her. Yeah. Man, I would not have thought that ad was that old, though. Because she's that age at primary school. If you're on, my girls go to school with some kids who were recently on TV for catching a marlin.

Oh, yeah? That's all anybody at school talks about. Really? So they're like famous? They were just like the stars of the school. Wow, okay. Or when they caught the marlin, they were on TV. Right, they saw the kids and they caught a marlin.

That's insane. But if you were on an ad that was on lots yeah like you know that little girl there's an ad on at the moment

and that's what made me think of it as the girl you knew Hayley with red hair yes there's that little girl on the ad

at the moment and it's like someone's leaving the door open and someone's eating all the something something and she's like

this someone's no good yeah the most gorgeous child must be a superstar at school yeah yeah okay well this is what we want to ask all 800 dials at and she's like, this someone's no good. The most gorgeous child must be a superstar at school. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, well, this is what we want to ask. 0800-DARLS-IT-IN, the impossible phone-in topic. Were you in an ad as a kid? Not as an adult. Because we don't want your fiancé to call up. Yeah, Aaron, put down the phone. Yeah. We can see Greg Grover from Nova's calling up.

We know. We know. Yeah. As a kid, were you in a TV ad? And I want to know bonus points as well. How much were you paid for this? Did you get the money? Was it put into your account or did your parents spend it?

Yeah. Or just say that it was work experience. Or did you have to spend it on something boring like your school uniform or something? Oh, 800 dials at Emerson number. Oh, yes. Texting me from their parents. Can't afford a school uniform and just trying to make ends meet. You're paying for it.

Text in 9696 0800 DALSITM. Were you in an ad as a kid? The impossible phone-in topic today, were you in a TV ad as a kid? Because the kid that was in the old El Paso ad has gone viral because she's popped up

in Australia and she's now 20 something and everyone's like, wow. Wow. We're all old now. Time doth fly. Where's the kid

that invented the flat bottom taco? He must be like 20 now too. Because I looked him up. I was confused. I thought the girl that we were talking about

who said, why not have both? Yeah. I thought she was the one that invented the flat bottom taco, but that was a little boy. And they just loved launching the small. Yeah.

They just throw them onto the ceiling. As we learned today, not even Mexican children. Went up in the air. Wall's been pulled over our eyes. Yeah. So many messages and calls and it is not the impossible finder.

Catherine, you were in two ads as a kid Hey guys Yes I was Which ads? One was the One was like a cookie bear one Okay

Different times, different times. You're not even allowed to touch people on public transport. Did that make you famous at school, Catherine? Well, what happened was, I don't know, I think it was What Now? Yeah. They used to do it was What Now. Yeah. They used to do like bloopers of ads. Yes.

And the guy, I'm trying to remember his name. I feel like it's Jason someone. Jason Farfoy? Yeah. Yeah, that guy. Or Anthony Samuels. He was me in the blooper. Oh.

I reckon they're only on YouTube somewhere Yeah I'm looking at it Kawana good morning You were on an ad as a kid Yeah good morning guys How are ya Good So what ad were you on

So I was on the old McDonald's Big Mac ad Yeah, good morning guys, how are you? Good. Bloody good, mate. So what ad were you on? So I was on the old McDonald's Big Mac ad that played, I think it was about 15? Okay. Something like that. Yeah, and it was like, it had that jingle, like, they're eating them and Kai Tai and Nelson and the bless. Yes, I remember that. Remember that one?

Yeah. Hell yeah. And so were you eating a Big Mac on the air? Yeah, yeah, so they came to our school and auditioned. I grew up in Raglan, so I went to Raglan area. Yeah. And they came and auditioned us, and myself and my girlfriend at the time, and my friend and his girlfriend all auditioned,

and his girlfriend and I got the job. And they filmed it at the Raglan you know the big water towers you go into Raglan yeah so they filmed it

there on someone's boat I know there was a boat parked up there for sale and we just used that as like a prop and yeah we were dancing around

and singing the song and holding a fake Big Mac in our hands fake not even real gosh Not even real? God.

Not even real. And it was so big, like, the tip of my thumb and the tip of my finger could only just hold it. Oh, my God. What was it made of? They said it made it look smaller on TV, so they had to be bigger and realer. Yeah, right. So, and what, did you get paid for that?

Yeah, so, funny story of that, I got paid, I think it was about $170 a week while the ad was playing. Oh! We're getting a back-end deal, baby! We're getting back, we're getting residuals! This is exactly what these movie actors do for their big movies. I was like Sandra Bullock on Gravity. Took nothing, just got the back-end deal. Yeah.

And so how long did that ad play for? So that's the funny story. Because there was no McDonald's in Raglan, people were ringing up and complaining that they were going to Raglan and there was no McDonald's because they recognised the water tower. Oh, right. So the ad got pulled after about three weeks. Oh, no.

I mean, what does it matter? It's just, yeah. Oh, wow. So you could have, imagine if it matter? It's just, yeah. Oh, wow. So you could have, imagine if it had been over. So you made a few hundred bucks. Because that ad played for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. It was on forever. Oh, my God. Amazing. Hey, thank you so much for sharing. Ava, good morning. You were on an ad

as a kid? Good morning. How are you guys? Really good. Really well, thank you. Good. I'm a first-time caller, long-time listener. No, you say long-time listener first. Why don't we all you. I'm a first-time caller, long-time listener. No, no, no. You say long-time listener first. Why don't we all tell you, you say the long-time listener, first-time caller.

You've got to say that directly. Go. Oh, sorry. Long-time listener, first-time caller. Yay! I would just dang but born as such a stickler. I'm a bit of a stickler. He's a stickler.

Welcome to the show. Oh, that's okay. I know, I know. Now, you were five years old when you were on an ad as a kid. What was it for? So I was the Oh, that's okay. I know, I know. Now, you were five years old when you were on an ad as a kid. What was it for? So I was the little Aunt Betty's girl. So I did the Aunt Betty's puddings, the cream puddings, the milkshakes, all of that. We were five.

And were you famous at school for being on that ad? I was. Almost. And you asked me, are you bringing pudding to school? They don't realise you don't actually get much pudding. Yeah, did they give you

any free puddings? Oh, all the time. I mean, I was constantly eating it, I think. And I mean, when you were filming those kind of ads,

the amount of pudding to go through was kind of ridiculous to get the shot. Yeah, kind of almost would put you off. It was a yogurt ad

and by the end I had a lot of good bacterias in my stomach. Yeah, yeah. Two hours later, all of almost would put you off. I was on a yogurt ad, and by the end, I had a lot of good bacterias in my stomach. Yeah, yeah. Two hours later, all of those good bacterias exited at quite a speed. Exited the stomach. Ava, thank you for calling.

Some messages in, so many. Of where people have been in ads as kids. I was on the police ad. Do you know that one? The one, he ain't heavy. Oh, yes. He's my brother. We got a message in from our friend Karina

who said she sung the Weepix jingle. Kiwi kids. Weepix kids. Amazing. I knew someone that was in the Utter Peanut Butter Nutter ad from Sanitary. Do you know, I looked exactly like one of those kids when I was young and I just used to tell people it was me.

He always says this. Peanut butter nutter butter, peanut butter. From sanitarium, I take the freshest peanuts in the world and pour them in. And we don't pay any tax. Because we're owned by a church. We love Jesus. Peanut butter. I was in a big fresh ad.

We had to pretend there was flying supermarket trolleys. Oh, my gosh. There was some random kid that I had to pretend was my brother and that was the hardest part of the whole thing because I was like, that guy's not my brother.

He doesn't even look anything like me. That guy's not my brother. What else? I am Mexican and I was in an ad in Mexico City for a supermarket,

Commercial Mexicana. Okay. It was a back-to-school supply ad. So everybody got this to get their back-to-school supplies, and I was in it. And then at school, I was very famous for it. You were very famous. And they would have been also perfect for the Old El Paso ad.

Yeah. Perfect. Perfect. Like, actually Mexican. We were at Marineland on a family holiday when I was seven, and I was sitting in the crowd being like, oh, my God, because they had dolphins. Long time ago. A few months later, there my God, because they had dolphins. Long time ago.

A few months later, there was a TV ad from Marineland. Guess who was in it? Never got paid. Never even got asked. Never even got asked. I always wonder

when you go to a, especially an outdoor adventure activity and you see big posters of couples doing zip lines or going out on a boat. Did they ever ask? No.

Like, they left and went back to their country and now they've got a free ad of you. Absolutely. Yeah. At school, I was in ads for KFC, Jenny and Holmes, Telecom, Rabobank,

and Wrigley's Gum. Wow. This must be an extremely good looking child. Yeah. At 18, it afforded me to be able to go travelling for three years. That's nice. See, that mum and dad must have put the money in a good account.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did they pay, though? Did they pay? Like, have they done any ads since? Don't know. No word on it. School was fine, but when I worked in retail later in life, people would always come in and recognise me from the ads I'd been on.

It is weird. Let me let you in on a little secret. When you go out with Hayley and Aaron, Hayley gets really shitty that everybody wants photos with Greg Grover from No Fringe. Oh my God, cheer on me. It is my absolute favourite part about it. Sometimes they'll be like,

do you guys want to go out? Do you and Shadow want to come out and do something? I'm like, nah. And then I'm like, wait a minute. I am in the mood to watch Aaron get fawned over and Hayley sitting there being like, I've done quite a few things too, you know. I'm on the TV doing a baking show.

They always clock us. I'm like, here we go. And do you know what's even better? It's when Maddie McLean's there. Maddie McLean is always number one. The order is Maddie McLean, Greg Grover from Nova. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Hayley.

Hayley. That's the right name. Hayley slash Melanie Bracewell. It rules. It's so good. Shut up. It's the Kiwian, I say. What do you mean, shut up?

It's just keeping you grounded. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day. Well, this week's fact of the day theme is pilots. Okay. Now, I received a message yesterday.

The show was pirates. What did you do on pirate week? Do you want to go straight from pirates to pilots to pirates? Pilots, pirates, and then pikelets. Bingo, bingo, damn. I don't know if you have a week of pikelet facts. I don't know that you would either. I mean, I definitely could.

The quality of the facts towards the end of the week might just be really. My nana made pikelets. I know. I was going to say, one of them could be my mum would make pikelets in our letters of our names. Oh, that's cute. C for Carl. Yep.

Scott. That's harder. Yeah. That's harder. Yeah, it's pretty cute. Would she give your dad a John? Yeah. Wow.

Would she do herself a Bev? Yeah. Because she's got two there that could close up. And then I would say you're getting more because your bees are just closing in and you're getting two picolets. You are such a shit. You are.

You'd be really good at that. Have you seen that German game show where you've got to cut things perfectly in half? Yes. Oh my God. My brother and I could have been the winners of that in the 90s. My brother and I would get a tape measure to cut a chocolate bar in half or a cake.

Did it ever go, you'd cut it in the, like, size-wise, like, centimetres wide, it was the same, My brother and I would get a tape measure to cut a chocolate bar in half or a cake. You'd cut it and the size-wise, like centimetres wide, it was the same, but you'd be like, I believe that's denser. So you'd wave them. And then you'd just keep carving bits off until they weighed the same. Great stuff. It's so bratty.

I know, isn't it wild? If my kids pulled that out, I would hit the roof. I'd slap it out of their hand and tell them I'm kidding. I feel like it's a brother's thing to do. Maybe it's a brother's thing to do. So today's fact of the day comes to us from Anthony Reid, who said, Vaughn, I believe I have found a pilot fact

that will also itch the never-ending itch. Scratch the itch? Well, you itch an itch, and you scratch an itch. But you never itch a scratch, because it's got to be left alone to heal. Yes. Of my World War II. Okay. My love of World War II. Yeah. And itch a scratch because it's got to be left alone to heal. Of my World War II.

Okay. My love of World War II. Yeah. And it's a homegrown story about James Allen Ward, Victoria Cross recipient. Born in Whanganui, he was a teacher when the Second World War began. And he volunteered for the Royal New Zealand Air Force he completed his flight training and off he went

he flew a Vickers Wellington for the flight nerds listening look at these things what's a Vickers Wellington it's a plane remember the Mitsubishi sports pack

famous way to get around a troop of children in the 1990s I'd say it's the 1930s plane version of a Mitsubishi sports pack it's very square very square on the front yes Very square on the front.

Yes. Very square on the front. They didn't do any rounding there for the aerodynamics, did they? I thought they would have been onto it by then. How many seats? Just as many as you can cram in. It was a bomber, so most of the space used was for carrying bombs. He was in the 75th Squadron, and he operated the Vickers Wellington Bombers. He did some bombing missions as a co-pilot.

And then when he was a co-pilot, this was on July 7th, 1941. This is where he earned his Victoria Cross. I just think of Victoria Cross as 20-year-old Tom, Dick or Harry. No, not Willie or Norley. When they're taking off in World War II, did they have to do that whole bing bong? Did they do a quiz before they took off?

Was there an in-flight quiz? There wasn't an in-flight quiz in World War II. Well, how were they passing the time? They were too busy. Well, they were all very busy. They had navigators. You guys got to watch Masters of the Air. Did they download a show before they took off?

Okay, so the last Masters of the Air episode just came out. There's only nine, and now I'm going to start. Nine? No, it doesn't come out here till Friday. Oh, well, whatever, Dave. There's only nine. Yeah, there's only nine. I know.

How disappointing. How disappointing. Round it to, go to eight or ten. Are you sure? Steven Spielberg. I'm 100. Yes. I know. How disappointing. Round it to, go to eight or ten. Are you sure? Steven Spielberg. I'm, yes. He's listening as well. Because that was what blew my mind was when they went through what everybody on a plane,

there was ten men on those bombers that they focus on, the B-17 bombers, and each of them had the navigator on board. The navigator's insane, eh? Because there was no, like, there was no like, there was no GPS. There was no Google Maps, my dudes. This guy had a pen and he was working out how fast they were going with the speed and he'd have to draw a line and he'd be like, yeah, okay, we should be coming up on it. And then they're like, can't see it.

And he's like, uh-oh. We're on a different island. Yeah, we've been going the wrong direction. Anyway, slightly distracted because you know I get very excited. I know. Also, the last episode is tomorrow, part nine. Right. March 15th. I can't believe they're going to is tomorrow, part nine. Right. March 15th.

I can't believe they're going to crank out all they need to do. What are you kicking? What is that noise? Oh, my toe's resting against the grate. I'm going to be able to hear that. It freaked me out. I didn't know what it was. I felt...

Sorry, carry on. Yes, you can hear it very loudly. Oh, you can? I apologise. So, please, let's get back to James Allen Ward, Victoria Cross recipient. Sorry, yes, yes, yes. Because this is how we got his Victoria Cross.

Oh, we're so late. Quick. Holy moly, are we what? This shan't be rushed because this is an amazing story. 7th of July, 1941, he is on a night bombing mission. Yeah. When one of their engines catches on fire. Oh, goodness.

He climbed out, he opened the door. What? He climbed out onto the wing of the Wellington bomber and extinguished an engine fire so that him and the rest of his crew could return and land safely. Mid-flight. Mid-flight. How did he do that? Mid-flight to do the wing walk. He crawled

out holding on. Oh no. With a fire extinguisher or a bucket of water? That's cray cray. I imagine a fire extinguisher. Also, I haven't seen a tap on a plane, apart from in the bathroom. Yeah. No, there wouldn't have been any taps. Okay. If there was no...

Amazing. So that's what he got his VC for, his Victoria Cross. Right. Unfortunately, killed two months later. When he became a pilot, he went from co-pilot to becoming a pilot after that horrendous act of heroism. And unfortunately, was killed two months later while piling at his own bombing mission against Germany. Right.

But that's an amazing story. Today's fact of the day is in World War II, a New Zealand pilot climbed out on the wing of his own plane to put out a fire. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.

So yesterday I was out and about and I took the different route home. Oh, yeah. There's two entrances. Well, there's multiple entrances to my street. But as I was driving along, I was like, huh, when did this happen? And now I can't even remember if they were originally there or they were so faded, but we've got new line markings. Oh, like in the middle centre line.

Yeah, and it's not a very wide street, my street, but they've got new white dashed lines. Yeah. And I was like, oh, but they've got new white dashed lines. Yeah. And I was like, oh, they're all pretty and white and bright. They must have painted them maybe overnight or when I've been at work or something. Yeah. Then I was driving along looking at them.

They are so janky. They are. Like wonky. They're not straight. They're wobbly. They're wavy. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Oh, no.

Because you just said your roads are thin road and cars would have been parked on the side of the road and they literally would have had to have been like, oh, I'm going to have them go a few inches that way and a few inches back. Exactly, because I don't know when it happened because lots of people park on the side of our street. It's always got cars and there was never any, you know,

please don't park on the road or anything. It's 100% what happened. They're going around the car. It's so bad. It's so bad. It's really long. How bad? Like, there's a couple, and then some of them, like,

curve off to the left. Oh, no. And then one's there, and then off to the bit. It's not straight at all. It's so bad. And it's fresh, bright white. I'm going to need to see a photo of this. I'll take a photo today.

Because I was almost like, was this a prank? Because I never saw it happening. Yeah. I never got any notification that there were going to be works on my street. Occasionally. Just down the road in Te Atatu in Auckland recently, somebody spelt bus stop, bus spot. Spotper.

Yeah. The T and the O ran the other way, weren't they? Could be the same people. Maybe. But you do see every now and again someone will take a paintbrush

and find a colour that ish matches road markings and do their own like No parking line. What you want to do is go out there and find a nice yellow one

that you're like chip a big part off, take it to Mitre 10 and say can you colour match this for me? And it needs to be real thick oil-based paint. And then get out there and paint your own yellow lines.

Okay, so they have always been lines there. I was just having a look because I was like, they really stand out to me. You're a Google Maps thing. No, no, I was looking at my own personal photos of being on the street. Lots of photos of the road. Yeah. Do you take a lot of photos on your street? Well, there's a photo because every New Year's we like to spill out onto the street and sing Cool Change

and so there's lots of photos of us on the street. Of course you do. What a cool group. So, no, there have been lines there but, yeah, the fresh ones

are just atrocious. I hate that. I hate when you see like a bus stop and it comes in and it doesn't match. Yeah. Or the lines are overlapping.

Or the manhole cover's back on and they don't realign it with the things. Or, and I love it, growing up, rurally you'd see the mark in the road and you're like, oh, not today, there's a roadkill, and it just runs straight over the possums, and then once that got eaten by a hawk or pulled off the road, there's a gap.

There's always a gap, yeah. Oh, my gosh. I feel like some of them are monsters. It's really bad. And I would say my street's a nice street. I think my street's the nice street in my community. Right. It's the nicest street.

And it's got the wonkiest lines. Yeah, I think if you ask anyone who lives in my area, they'll be like, yeah, that's the nicest street. It's going to be like that for years. I know. It's like bright white. Because when people used to spray paint on the road, toot, just married or whatever.

Yes. And then it's still the years. They probably got divorced and people were still driving past. Oh, isn't that nice?

Me, me, me. Statistically, they would be divorced, you know, by the time the paint ran out. Not going to last forever.

Anyway, Auckland Council, very disappointed. Very disappointed. Hey, we've done the road markings. Yes, we have. Where we did a

good job. The guy said you did a great job, but you just took too long. Yeah, because they go real fast. Good jobs take time.

Have you ever seen any of the TikToks or reels come up of them? It's so beautiful. The ones that are good at it. I watched an airport, them doing the airport markings. Oh, lovely. That's on cement too. Yeah. So much better to ride on than asphalt.

Beautiful stuff. Yeah, Hamilton train station. Put a lane on that cement. Put a lane on the road. Hamilton train station, Put a lane on this amendment. Put a lane on the road. Hamilton train station, those car parks done by us. Wow. They may have been resealed since then. No, they haven't.

No, because you did such a good job because you took your time. Yeah, take your time. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, apparently a psychologist, not apparently, a psychologist has, I don't know why we tend to re-watch the same shows over and over again. We're talking shows like Friends. No, I don't either. I'm going to go under a limb here.

I think it's a real female thing to do. Really? Okay. Well, there's some psychology behind it. Comfort shows. That's the main thing. So shows like Friends, I've watched time and time again. I've watched The Office, The've watched time and time again. I've watched The Office, The American Office,

time and time again. Will you ever just think, I need that one episode? No, no, I'll go full in. No, because I'll go back to Always Sunny in Philadelphia and watch the Dayman episode where Charlie writes the musical. Fighter of the night, man. Champion of the Sun Aaron's a big re-watcher

And Charlie McGenis Oh yeah great I go back and I like Pick certain episodes And I'm like I just need a feel What I felt when I watched that That's a comfort

That's a comfort for you But I'm very often So But now I want to watch that episode Yeah Today is the day So It's very straightforward isn't it

It's like it's comfy It's familiar to us It's not putting us Out, it's familiar to us, it's not putting us out of our comfort zone and often the thing that'll draw us back to watching the same shows over and over again is like stress or like I'm going through a traumatic experience or I'm having a rough time at the moment so we watch these shows. Absolutely

fine to acknowledge that you need a little bit of comfort out of these shows. The danger is that you never break out of that, that you never like so bit of comfort out of these shows. The danger is that you never break out of that, that you never, like, so you never start watching something new and how that can translate into, like, never trying new things or breaking out of old habits in life. That's quite fascinating, isn't it? Yeah.

If you get stuck in your ways, you're like, this is so comfortable, that can translate into your out-of-TV-watching behaviours. So she was like, acknowledge when you are watching a show, like Friends for the 10th time, why you're doing it, why you need it, and then encourage yourself afterwards to like step out and try something new because otherwise you sort of like shrink your risk-taking side of yourself.

Would that be the same with trying new genres or things you might not normally watch? See, I don't. Yeah, I'm like comedy, doco, reality. Then I'm like the rest of it. Or like super high like severance, like kind of art stuff. It's also kind of a comedy.

But yeah, when it's like when Aaron wants to watch an action or something, I'm like, nah. Nah. But there's so many guns, it's real exciting. Yeah, nah. You need some action. I get plenty of action. When Aaron's watching his action.

You take yourself away from a little action. Oh, another one in the bag. It's a Versace bag as well. If you enjoyed that, give us a rating and a review and be sure to tell your mates. You don't sound sincere there, boy. I'm just reading what's written here. ZM's

Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
