The ZM Podcast Network. The Flesh, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Happy Wednesday. Happy opening show day. Thank you. Excited. Your show's opening at the Comedy Fest today.

In Wellington. I believe there are four tickets available for tonight. What theatre are you? Te Awaha. It's Whiti Rea's theatre on Dixon Street. Oh, okay. Beautiful. New.

You know, they built a brand new building. Right, okay. Stunning. And they're letting you in it. I know. Brand new. I know. Oh, it's been around for a couple of years.

Right, okay. Yeah. Right. I know. I get to tread the boards tonight. Looking forward to it. I know. Brand new. I know. Oh, it's been around for a couple of years. Right, okay. Yeah. Right. I know, I get to tread the boards tonight. Looking forward to it. Coming up, the Tom Six, we spoke about this yesterday, the news broke. The block. It's done. Yeah, so they had just about finished a shell of the

apartments or the townhouses that they would have been working on. Renovating. Renovating the insides. Or doing up, I guess, yeah. So on the properties that they bought, property that they bought in 2022, March 2022. Hold on to it for a couple of years, get around the bright line. Is that the vibe? I was just thinking March 2022 wasn't a great time to buy a house. No, it was an expensive time to buy a house.

Having bought one December 2021. Was it 21? Yeah. So they, it's an expensive time to buy a house. Having bought one December 2021. Was it 21? Yeah. So they, it's been canned. It's been canned. Yeah, the block, the new season of the block will not happen and I'm guessing what they'll just Surprise to no one, to be honest. Yeah, they'll just what? Have the apartments finished and then sell them or sell them as is? Yeah. I think they're selling them

as is. Right. At this stage of completion. What, just jib on the walls? Yeah. I guess you can put your own touch on the townhouse that looks exactly like every other townhouse that's popped up around Auckland in the last five years. Paint it blue instead. Yeah, well, no, it probably won't be allowed because of body corp rules. But I've got the top six

things you can do at home to cure the blues of missing the block. Yeah, because a lot of people love it, don't they? Well, yeah, it scratches the itch of a bit of DIY. Especially when you don't have to actually do the DIY or pay for the DIY, but you get to watch someone DIY. Which, as you can attest to, is hell on earth.

It's not entertaining. It's not entertainment at all. It's fun to watch other people cry about the expense. It is. And fight. And the budget's blown out. Not so much fun when you're living it yourself. So the top six things you can do to scratch that itch coming up.

Next, though. I want to share something for the introverts amongst us. Now, I can't relate to that at all. Yeah. But if you don't love to chit-chat all the time, I've got great news for you. There is a woman, she's in Helsinki. Oh, yeah.

She lives in Helsinki. And her name is Katie Hakomere, which I imagine is said Katie, but it's written K-A-T-I-H-A-K-O-M-E-R-I, which makes me want to say Kati Hakomere. Oh, yeah. I was like, is this a New Zealand name? It's not. Finnish. M-E-R-I, which makes me want to say kati hakomere. Oh, yeah. But a Maori vibe. I was like, is this a New Zealand name? It's not.

Finnish. Finnish. Besides the point, she's a hairdresser and calls herself an introvert, and she says she's maybe in her 50s looking at it. Okay. I'll make that judgement. I'm comfortable to do so because she's not listening. Okay.

She has been in the hairdressing biz for a long time. And as an introvert, she's like, I always take my cue off of my client as to how much chat they want. Right? Because, you know, sometimes you go to a hairdresser, not my personal experience because I make mine a real social event, but you go to a hairdresser and there's just that sort of mundane chat. What do you do for a living?

How's this? And you chat the whole time. And it's a bit of a socially exhausting occasion for some people. And she says she's always been good at looking at whether they want to play on their phone or read a magazine or avoiding eye contact or giving short answers. Yeah. And she said she finds so many people don't want to talk during a hair appointment, but some people she says she can feel obliged.

Yep. So she has introduced a system for a silent booking online. So when you go to book with her online, you can check, like you do with Uber now, you can click no conversation or silent booking, and she's like, it takes away the awkwardness or that kind of obligation to make a shit small chat. And they can just sit there and she's like, hi, welcome, here's a cup of tea.

And then they just have a silent little, and you can just sit and unwind. Oh yeah, that's good, that's good. I know, because I get my hair done. I go to my friend's house and we chat, we drink wine, and it's like a whole social thing. But that's different. That's my friend, I go to my friend's house and we chat, we drink wine, and it's like a whole social thing. But that's different. That's my friend.

I want to catch up with her. But some appointments you do just want to like sit in silence. I've never selected no chat in an Uber. Neither, because I feel like a dick. But they've got it there to sort of take away the feeling like a dick. But I feel most Uber drivers, again, like they read the situation. Like if you're just like, you're on your phone,

they're pretty good at it. You do get some old mates, eh? Old white mates. White old mates. Thank you. It's the white old mates. They're obviously bored as hell. Chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat.

I think they've joined Uber to talk with people. Yeah, and that's what I reckon too. You know? The wife doesn't give them the time of day, so they need to find someone to talk to. Where are we off to? My least favourite, I always lie when they say,

what do you do for a living? Because the moment you say something like, I'm an actor or I'm a comedian or I'm a radio. Oh, oh, what station? Oh no, I don't know that. And then they humble you so quickly being like, I don't know who the hell you are. And you're like, it's fine, I don't care, I don't care.

What do you say, just, I'm an accountant? Yeah, I'll being like, I don't know who the hell you are. And you're like, it's fine. I don't care. I don't care. What do you say? Just, I'm an accountant. Yeah, I'll just say I work in like wardrobe or I'm a hairdresser or I'm whatever. I'll just, yeah. I work in HR. I'll just say anything that kind of ends the conversation. Insulting to those that are listening that work in HR.

Yeah, I think your career is so boring that I use it to shut down a conversation. 12 past six. Next. The fashion's 12 past six. Next. The fashion's back from 2003. Yeah. Everything is back from 2003. So what's another TV show added to the pile?

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. So I can't believe you said that you didn't ever watch any of this show. No, I never. I don't think I. I might have seen the odd clips. ever watch any of this show. No, I never. I don't think I... Nah, I saw clips. I saw the odd clip maybe. Yeah, right. So this, I can't believe that this went for as long as it went for.

Debuted in 2003, ended in 2007. It is, of course, The Simple Life with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. One of, like, if you listen to Paris Hilton talk about Simple Life now, it's actually really fascinating because it was kind of ahead of its time of these follow celebrities in real life shows. The premise was that Paris and Nicole, uber rich scene girls, go into small town America and like stay with these families and work on farms

and do normal things like catch the bus and they just are basically like and it was just this wild show. And they would like intentionally cause a ruckus basically and just be like nightmares. They played up to their rich girl naivety and to the amusement

of us watching but also to the bemusement of the local hicks. Yes, exactly. And then like you talk to them now, they're like, totally, we're just playing it. We were just playing it all up. And also she, wasn't it during lockdown or recently she said, I just put the voice on? Oh yeah, that was when she did that big documentary. Yeah, that's right. She came out at the start of that documentary and was like,

oh, are you guys ready? Okay, yes, wait, hang on, I'll go back. Hi. And everyone's like, what? And then the producer's just like, what did we just witness? She's like, oh, this voice is just, it's just a character I play. She's like, I'm very smart. I've made millions out of playing this dumb blonde.

Anyway, so the other day, Paris Hilton posted in a joint post, Paris and Nicole posted new era same besties coming soon to Peacock, which is like a trash kind of. Peacock's NBC streaming service. Yeah. Oh, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What am I thinking?

I'm not Bravo. What's the other trash one? TLC. Yeah, TLC. That's what I was thinking of, which I think was the original thing. And so basically you can hear in the thing they're like singing, which was like what they used to do all the time there, this like really bad song.

And fans are like, oh, my God. So it's 17 years since it ended and it's not... 17. It hasn't been said, it hasn't like come out to say it's the simple life with Nicole and Paris. Yeah.

But they're doing something together and it's a reality show. I just want to take a moment for us to appreciate the 2006 I think 2006

From your debut studio album 2006. Yeah, I think the single came out in 2005. Right, well I think this is an underrated song. I think it's an underrated song. It was a great pop song. I think it's an underrated song. It was a great pop song. I think it was originally written for...

Britney? Yeah, I think it was. Something like that, yeah. I was looking for walk-on music to my show, right? Something to enter the stage to. Yeah. And I don't know how it stumbled across a playlist I found. It was Paris Hilton covering Rod Stewart,

Do You Think I'm Sexy? Oh, wow. Was that on her album too? It's so bad. Yeah. She's like, Do you think I'm sexy? You want my body?

Anyway, people are like fizzing. Like everyone on Instagram and Twitter's just like, Even though the stars like... This song made it to number 12? No, number one in Scotland, Slovakia, Hungary. It was actually, like, top 10. 12 in New Zealand.

Yeah, it was top 10 in most places around the world. Do you remember the video? She's, like, rolling on an island in the sand. Yeah. Oh my God. And also her lockdown cooking show was very funny. She's very funny. She is so self-aware.

She's actually very funny. Yeah, she is. She's incredibly smart and she has just made the most of how the world painted her. It's genius. Yeah. Well, some more Paris to look forward to. Next on the show, and she has just made the most of how the world painted her. It's genius. Yeah. Well, some more Paris to look forward to.

Next on the show, how many passport photos were rejected by the Department of Internal Affairs? I'm keeping mine for 30 years. You're not allowed to keep that hot photo. It's stunning. If you got it right first time, very rare. I'll give you the numbers next. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley.

$155,000. Yes, please. Thank you. Not dollars. Not dollars. 010542. Not dollars. That's how many passport photos were rejected in the year 2023.

Now, this is a story because at the moment, if you need a passport, be prepared unless you fork out. Be prepared. He doesn't know the Lion King, this guy, but. It's good. No, I've watched it. Well, you made me watch it. It's a Scar song.

Yeah, it's. I made you watch it. Not for me. That's a great film. That's okay. There is a huge wait for passports at the moment. Ten weeks for a standard adult passport. And photo rejections contribute to those processing delays.

Are people just taking a selfie and putting it online with their application? Well, you can. You just have to work within the parameters that they set. Did we do it in an app last time? What did we do? We did something in an app. That's not right. I don't know what you're talking about.

Were we applying for something or the other? I remember there was an app and you had to get your face exactly right and hold it in the circle. No, that wasn't passports. What was that for? We did it here at work in front of a white wall. Oh, yeah. Oh, in the chat.

Was it real me? It might have been. It was a facial recognition of real me. But that's where it's going to be headed, right? Everything goes through there. 31% of total applications didn't meet their photo requirements. Yeah, right. 31%.

So if you times 155 by 30, that's how you work it out, eh? Oh, no, by three. So that means 465,000 New Zealanders applied for passports last year. That's a lot. That's one in 10. F off. I won't. Have you done bad math?

No, I've done great math. Oh. Phenomenal math. I thought you might have done bad math. So there's all kinds of things. Like you can't have like thick framed glasses. Your expression has to be neutral. You've got to take off hats, hoods, headbands and head coverings.

Yes. No filters. Oh my God. How many people do you reckon have been turned down? Just put on a little cheeky smoothie filter. Yes. A little blur. Or they've like got rid of a pimple.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so no filters. You've got to take the photo in colour, not black and white. Yes. A little blur. Or they've like got rid of a pimple. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so no filters. You've got to take the photo in colour, not black and white. Yes. Because then they put the coloured one here. I'm just looking at mine because it's so stunning. But they put a coloured one above it on the paper and then the black and white are on the bottom.

Such a stunning photo. Do you know what I mean? How long do you have that left? That was in 2019 I took that. So I've got a good five years on it. But I had, that was my thin face. And I had, before my hair fell out. And I did, I've got a little smile.

A slight smile. Like, if you look, that's a slight smile, isn't it? It is, yeah. It's a bit of a smirk. A bit of a smirk. I mean, stunning. You know what I mean? It's got big fake passport in a movie vibe.

Yeah, because who would have one that beautiful? That nice. Yeah. That great. Yeah, I know. So. Do you think, you know, because you're saying no Photoshop, do you think if I took that, right,

and got someone, a really good Photoshop person, to like add a couple more wrinkles, because 2029, what year is it? In five years, I'll be nearly 40. Yeah. Sorry, what's... I think I said something, but it doesn't make sense to me. In five years, I'll be nearly 40, so I'll look a bit older.

Yeah. Maybe I could get them to add a few wrinkles. Or just use the age filter. I don't want to be that old. I don't want to go from gorgeous to like... You have said for your 40th you'll be going for the all-inclusive Turkish trip. Mummy makeover, yeah.

The mummy makeover in Turkey. Sons having the kids. People have said that's what happens when they go on these makeover holidays. They come back and the facial recognition at airports doesn't recognise them. Absolutely wouldn't. Because you're all bruised and broken and puffed up. Yeah.

Oh gosh. You'd be passed if you went to one of those actual photo passport places and they did you dirty and gave you a photo. Yeah, they dogged it. But don't they say when you do it, like, it's not refundable? Yeah, maybe. Because they upload it in the moment and I think, because I've had it before where they've gone,

oh, it hasn't worked or it hasn't met the right things, you know. So I've got to go again. So maybe they've got something that they use to check it. Well, bear that in mind if you're applying for a passport because, yeah, it's a huge weight at the moment. Standard passport, $206. But if you get it urgent, $412. Whoa.

So, yeah, if you need a new passport, you've got to give it some lead time. If you're doing that classic go away in, excuse me, if you're going away June, July, you know, escaping winter, check your passport's valid now because, yeah. You've got to have a year on it, right? That's what they say. It depends on the country. It could be three months, six months.

It's so ridiculous. You need six months left on it to go to America, but then what's the point of an expiry date? Yeah. If it expires six months Left on it To go to America But then What's the point Of an expiry date If it expires Six months before that Alright grandpa I'm thinking

Why don't you write An irate letter I will I'm going to protest Are you going to protest I finally found I finally found Something I'm passionate about

You're great. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Hello. The Block NZ cancelled.

How many seasons did the Block NZ had? Six or seven? I thought my guess was going to be six. I think this was season seven that's been cancelled. It just got bleak. In a housing crisis. And we were like, why is it not working? The winners had made a $5,000 profit. And then one year, like, the people who won made a good amount of money.

We could get some apartments in there. We can fit 30 on there, not three. Oh, that hurts. And it was a central location, probably the best location. The one in Kingsland where they did up the old firehouse or the old

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Top 6. There is a Sheila, her name is Sonia Barlow. She lives in London and she was working for Demand, I believe, in the corporate landscape. She was working for Demand. Yeah. And she said as someone who suffers from some mental health and ADHD and chronic migraines and a few things, she said often she felt a bit overwhelmed and would have these sort of lulls in her mood.

And that she always felt. Me too, babes. Yes. She always felt in the corporate landscape as it stood that she was unable to take those days off of work. So she had to turn up, right? Yeah. that she was unable to take those days off of work. So she had to turn up, right? And then she would go to work on these days and get nothing done and kind of wish that she had just bloody stayed at home

in the first place. But there was no real leave because at that time she didn't have sick leave that would cover that, right? Or annual leave. So give or take a few years of this, she was like totally I've totally run down. She ended up leaving and starting her own

company where she wanted to implement something to combat this in this busy life. So she introduced a policy called unhappiness leave, which is if you wake up and you're like,

I just cannot. So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. You can't take the, it's 10 days a year that you could just be like, not today, Sater. Not today.

That's just like we'd say take a mental health day, right? Yes, and so like, because maybe the policies are different over there, but I go like, we've got 10 days sick leave and some of those I would happily allocate to being like, I'm mentally not up to it today. I took one a couple

of weeks ago. I was like, can't do it today. And you're like fine, that's a sick day. And then you've got your annual leave, which is different. Anyway, so she's not the first because she was researching around like how this looks. So you get sick leave and you get annual leave, which is different. Anyway, so she's not the first because she was researching around how this looks. So you get sick leave and you get annual leave and you get this unhappiness leave. And apparently there's this

huge chain supermarket in China that has this. And it's literally called unhappiness leave. Ten days a year. You don't need a doctor's note. That's like I guess what kind of differentiates it from sick leave. You don't have to go get anything.

Supermarket in China, you think that you're going to just be like turn up for work regardless. Yeah. Get it done. Otherwise your social score will go down.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, this would also be great just for making long weekends out of 10 weekends of the year. I know.

Oh my God, I'm so unhappy. It's Monday. I'm really unhappy today. Yeah, or it's, I'm really unhappy it's Friday. So the really unhappy today. Yeah, or I'm really unhappy it's Friday. In the background, festive music.

Yeah, it has booked a long weekend to Australia six weeks ago. So the head of this Chinese supermarket chain, which is called Pangdong Lai, Yu is her name. Great pronunciation. Thank you. She says, I want every staff member to have freedom.

Everyone has times where they're just not happy. So if you're not happy, don't come to work. That simple. she says I want every staff member to have freedom every time everyone has times where they're just not happy so if you're not happy don't come to work that simple and they say it really works for them

want our employees to be healthy and relaxed happy on top of things you know well then you go turn the car back around

if you're on your way to work take an unhappiness day unhappiness day well no it's a policy it has to be a policy. Oh, okay, yeah, right, okay. But you could say you got into a crash. But if you've still got some family members left,

you could just take a bereavement leave day. Oh, yeah, I asked what's the... Eligible employees can take paid bereavement leave if someone close to them dies. Immediate family three days, full paid leave. Or one full day's paid leave if you've lost someone close to you who is outside of your immediate family.

Oh. To me. One day. One day doesn't seem enough if you've got to organise some grandparent stuff. Is that not enough? It's an auntie or an uncle one day, isn't it? Yeah. It's an auntie or an uncle.

But also three days isn't enough for a mum or a dad. What if Fletch dies? What, you come into work the next day? Yeah, someone's got to do the show. He would be our one day. Is he our one day? Because you're not immediate family. One day.

How insulting. I know, that's insulting. You're a one day. Yeah, you're going to at least need four or five days to mourn me. I'll be mourning. Oh. Yeah. I'll be going through his apartment.

I'm like, take, take. What are you going to do? Just take stuff. I've got a will. The bow sound system. Oh, we'll just tear that straight out the wall. I'll see you there. Rip it.

Rip it. I'll rewire it. Play ZM's. Oh, we'll just tear that straight out the wall. Rip it, rip it. I'll rewire it. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Wives and girlfriends across the internet are all nodding in unison in recognition for the little things they do for their husbands or partners that the partner doesn't realise. Now, what sparked this is a woman called Nikki who shared a delightful story on TikTok.

I buy these for my husband. He drinks a tea every day, at least once, sometimes two. There's 216 in this pack. We were at the grocery store yesterday. He normally doesn't come with me. I said, oh, we need to get more tea. And he said, yeah, get one of these. The last one I bought was like five years ago.

They last forever. No, darling. No, darling. No, they last a month or two and she's buying them every time. And topping up his little tea bag holder. And he just apparently thought that tea bags never run out. There's somehow 216 tea bags. He has two a day,

has somehow lasted five years. No, she's refilling that for you. So everyone was like sharing these. So 216 bags, they've done the math, 216 bags, despite the fact he drinks at least one or two a day, has somehow managed to last 1,825 days. Very sweet.

Now, everyone jumped on board and was like, oh my god, this happens all the time. But it's not always wives and girlfriends doing it for the No. Surely it's the other way around as well. Well, this is what I wanted to talk about and get some calls in for because I'm sure there's lots and the people

have been jumping on and being like, oh my god, someone was talking about about living this magic basket life where a husband came and said, these towels are so amazing, you barely have to wash them and they never get stinky. And the wife's just like, dude, I wash them every second day

and then I dry them and hang them back where you've left them. That's what's occurring here, not a magic washing basket. Oh my god, I love that. Yeah. It would be like if your partner always filled the car up with fuel. Like you'd be like, oh this car just goes so far on its own.

Yeah. Barely, hardly touch this thing. Yeah. For sure. I mean I'm trying to think of the things for Aaron that I don't know. This is a problem for me because I always make such a grandiose statement every time I do anything. Yeah. Look at what I've done for you.

I've filled the tea bags up again. I did that. Letting you know that you were low and I know you love your tea and I'd hate for that to happen. Yeah. Okay, well, let's take some stories. Maybe you find yourself in this situation. 0800 dials at M is our number.

Call now. You can text through 9696. What is the thing that you secretly do for your partner that perhaps they're completely unaware of? Oblivious to. And they think it's just magic. A very cute story of a woman whose husband thought that the tea bags just last forever.

He bought a box five years ago and it's lasted all this time. And she's secretly just been buying them, topping them up, and not saying anything about them. Yep. So we want to know the little secret things that you do for your partner that perhaps they're unaware of. Tanya, your partner does this for you? He does. He does.

Morning, guys. So nice to talk to you guys. Love to talk to you guys. Oh so nice to talk to you guys lovely guys lovely thank you um what does he do for you he fills up my window washer foot in my car and i just thought i just thought it just lasted and i we were talking about it one time and i was like oh my i just we've had the car for a year now and i was just like i just lasted. And we were talking about it one time, and I was like, oh, we've had the car for a year now, and I was just like, I just never have to fill it up. I was like, it's just awesome. Do you squirt willy-nilly, Tanya? I do.

I like to have clean windscreen to see, you know, visibility and all that. I willy-nilly all the time if there's a tiny thing, but mine, I have to top it up like two, three weeks. The chimney's out. I gave Hayley a ride to work today. She's still got her licence. She just needed a ride to work. She's no anonymous broadcaster.

And mine was out, but it was raining and I was really pleased, but we were having a chat and I didn't want to say, I'm so stoked it's raining because my windscreen squirter is out. So did he reveal to you, no, my love, I've been doing it? He just said to me, he goes, he goes, I filled that up for you,

and apparently he checks my oil and water as well. He's a king. He's a good man, Tanya. Does he put bug off in when he puts the squirty, when he tops up the squirty? Does he put a bit of bug off in? He's got some special window stuff. He's very particular.

Yeah. Oh, my God. It'll be bug off, won't it? It'll be something like that. You know what, Tanya? That's hot, eh? That's what you, that's hot that he does that for you.

That's why I'm going to, that's why I'm marrying him this year. Oh, yes. Get a ring on him and don't let him go. Good stuff. Tanya, thanks for your call. Some messages in.

My boyfriend commented that, commented, commented? He commented. He flew through the atmosphere and he was real fast and he lit up the night sky oh my god my boyfriend

and then a whole bunch of scientists chased it because they wanted the meteor that landed on earth and that was my boyfriend my boyfriend commented that our new carpet never gets dirty

oh I'm like babe I vacuum it multiple times a week when you're at work oh and he's like gotcha

it's amazing that this carpet doesn't seem to stick like the old carpet stick to things. It's always clean. Like how? My dad was bragging to his mates that the gas bottle at the batch just never ran out. Lasted for months and months

and months and they've been having hot showers. It does the hot water. It does the cooking. It does everything. It's never run out. We're like, no dad. We've organised it so that when it gets low it automatically alerts the people and they come and change them. Oh, they do because a lot of the gas people, they just rock up, change it, F off. Yeah.

Oh, Dad. Oh, Dad. My boyfriend had no idea that salt and pepper ran out as quickly as it did. It's not bottomless. He's like, I've never bought it. And I was like, yeah, I know, I do. And I fill it up. When I do. And I fill it up. When I buy it, I fill it up.

Also probably have ones that you can't see, like not see through. Yeah. You know what I mean? So it's probably just like, God, it just goes on forever. Yeah. After five years with my husband, I've only just discovered he washes my car once a fortnight. Oh. I thought it was magically clean all the time.

How do you not see your husband washing the car, Eva? I don't know. Maybe she has a sleep in. Yeah, right. When she's having the nap, he's out there doing it. These new Mazdas, they have some kind of coat on them, and it's like dust just falls off. Will not stick.

Will not stick. Those are some quality. It's like every second Sunday, the Mazda goes like a dog and just shakes all the dirt off. Wild. Zoe messaged in saying that she throws away her husband's dirty undies. No, sorry, holy undies. Oh, yeah.

Doing the Lord's work. My mum does that for my dad. She'll go and just buy him. He's got a specific type of jocks that he's used to, and she'll just chuck them out. And I don't think he knows that they're being replenished. He just thinks that these are just a quality jock. These are lasting 10 years, these knickers.

Now, I want to know from Tegan, who messaged, I gua sha my boyfriend's face at bedtime, lol. Now, is she doing that for him? I don't know if we can talk about gua sharring on your boyfriend's face at bloody 20 minutes past seven on a Wednesday. No, gua sha is the hard face massage that girls use. You can't do that on your boyfriend without him knowing. The question is secretly doing.

Is he asleep? And you're like, God, I keep these jowls up. I don't want a jowly husband. I don't want a jowly husband. I'll get those, pick them up. I don't want a British bulldog of a partner over here. Slobbering and such. My boyfriend just threw out our mayonnaise

because, God, that thing's been in the fridge for years. No, you idiot. I get a new jar weekly, Tim. Tim! Tim! This is a mayonnaise house. It's a new jar, Tim. Also, check the expiration date, right?

Come on, Tim. We're in a cost of living crisis, Tim. He just sees this jammer in the same place in the fridge and is like, just one day was just like, yuck, that thing's been there for years. Come on.

Does he not notice when it goes down and then all of a sudden it's up? He must not be into mayonnaise. If you stick to the same brand, it probably all just looks the same to him. Yeah. Not all mayonnaise is the same. Yeah, that's a mayonnaiseist.

Mayonnaiseist? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not a mayonnaiseist. He's a mayonnaiseist. I'm not a mayonnaiseist. Yeah, that's a mayonnaiseist. Mayonnaiseist? Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not a mayonnaiseist. He's a mayonnaiseist. I'm not a mayonnaiseist. Yeah, no, you're not. For me, I can tell the difference. No, no, we see mayonnaise for what it is.

I mean, there is a best mayonnaise. There's a best foods. There's best foods mayonnaise. But then there's Kewpie, and that's different. And that's fine. It's from a different place. I'm not going to ask where it's from. And I can tell the difference.

I've been told it's from Japan, but I'm not asking where it's from. I'm not going to speak Japanese to it or anything. No, I'm not going to say arigato when I use it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Konnichiwa, Japanese. Exactly. I wouldn't say that. No, no, but I'm not a mayonnaiseist. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM.

Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole.

Silly little pole is would you rather higher pay or work perks? Now, this is based on a survey that's out of Sydney, Australia, that looked at Gen Zs in the workplace. Those are people born between 97 and 2012. They will be the dominant workforce. Right. By, hmm? Hmm?

Hmm? They will be 27% of the workforce and the dominant labour force by 2031. Gotcha. Oh, yeah. And they are sick of gym memberships as perks. What? Flashy perks. Gym memberships. That workplaces in Australia can offer.

They want money. They want fair compensation because there is a cost of living crisis and they want financial stability. They don't want a fruit basket at lunchtime. They just want more money. Which I guess would be most people, right? But I'm going to spend my money

on my gym membership and my fruit. That's actually quite a good perk, hey? A gym membership. It'd be mean. Is quite a good perk, hey, a gym membership. That'd be mean. Is that for people that work at the gym, though? No, I just imagine it'd be like corporate workers. Imagine if your Les Mills membership was included. That'd be great.

How much is that a month? Like $100? Yeah, it depends. $1,200 a week. $1,200 a month. A year, rather. Jesus, what? Yeah, that's all right, isn't it?

$1,200, not compared to a five grand pay rise,200 a month. A year rather. Jesus. Yeah, that's all right, isn't it? $1,200, not compared to a five grand pay rise. Yeah, true. But it's also not taxed, is it? Tax free. And some people get a car. See, I think if you've got a car,

a car I can see is a bit of a, that's a perk. A perk worth, you know. Car park. And a fuel card. Pure. Yeah,

my dad, because my dad ran a company. Yeah. I used to love the Caltex car. Often it'd be like, yeah, my dad, because my dad ran a company. Yeah. I used to love the Caltex cart. Often it'd be like, Dad, can I have a little bit of a top up on the Caltex cart? Is that why you don't see many Caltexes now? Yeah, yeah, because I ran them dry. Which would you prefer, higher pay or work perks?

87% of people said higher pay. 13% said work perks. Okay. Daryl. G'day, Daryl. Dazza. Dazza. Work perks don't pay the bills and we're in a cosy, livy cry.

Last farm job I had, they bought my dog food for me. Now I have to buy my own dog food, which is just over $120 a month. Jeez.

Feed a dog. I can't possibly think near that. Multiple dogs. I think he's running multiple dogs. Multiple dogs. Multiple dogs. Syndicate. Luke, I get paid. What do you think? he's running multiple dogs. Multiple dogs. Multiple dogs syndicate. Luke, I get paid...

What do you think? It's some sort of dog fighting ring. No, not a fighting, just a working dog. You said dog syndicate. Also, how much does a bag of Tux biscuits cost these days? I know, I know. It keeps them full of life. Fit as a fiddle, sharp as a knife.

Tux keeps them full of life. Fit as a fiddle, sharp as a knife. Keeps him full of life. Mean and lean and overdrive and... Catch here, boy. What a dog. He's the leader of the working mob. From Cape Brianga to the bluff. There's only one thing

that's good enough and it's tux. It keeps him full of life. Oh my god, No, stop. Stop. It has a fiddle sharp as a knife. I hate that you know all the words to that. One of New Zealand's greatest advertising jingles of all time. Of all time.

Oh, so good. Right. The biscuits? Shit house. Are they garbage? Are they garbage? I've never had a dog. Would you have a match on them?

Well, no, they don't. That's so dry. Yeah, okay. That dog wet biscuit. Min a match on them? That's so dry. That dog went minus the milk. Okay, right. My grandad only ever fed his dogs Tux Biscuits. Okay. Poor buggers. And where are they now? Shat bricks. Dead.

Were they grandad or both? Both of them. Yeah, all of the above. And he loved a Tux Biscuit. He loved a Tux Biscuit. Especially in old age. He thought they were ransacked biscuits. Oh, yeah. And he would always eat one for the troops. But like a Toblerone, it would stab the roof of his mouth.

Yes. Oh, God. Went sharp end. No teeth. Tough. Luke, we are doing Silly Little Pops. Are we? Luke said, I get paid what I'm worth, but all the work perks I get make up another 40

to 50k per year, so I have it pretty good. Well, la-dee-da! I know someone that got a company car, and their work did not care whether... They'd just take it away for the weekends. Oh, yeah. Like, free fuel, everything. Like, didn't care.

It could be a personal trip. Most people with company cars wouldn't also have a personal car. No. No, just like, well, who's that? Because there's a difference. I think you just pay a flat fringe benefit tax of a certain amount.

But if you're going to, like, charge the Ks, you've got to keep a logbook. And that's a ball ache. That's a ball ache. Who's keeping a logbook, eh? A ball ache. Free car and fuel for personal use also. Somebody else messaged in, so that's a pretty good perk. That is a good perk.

Our perk at work is free coffee. And do not drink coffee. So that is a terrible work perk. We is free coffee and a do not drink coffee. So that is a terrible work perk. We get free coffee too and I drink it. Yeah. Sometimes when I run out of mine. I mean, you get your value of milk out of this company. Oh my God, I do.

That's a perk. That's a perk. That's a perk. The amount of milk you drink, that is a perk. Laters a week. Shannon says four day work week. Is that a perk? Because it was life changing. That's kind of a work perk and a four day work week. Is that a perk? Because it was life changing.

That's kind of a work perk and a pay rise. Yeah. If you stayed on the same money and dropped one of them, you could have just got a 20% pay rise. Yeah, I bet you're doing all the work though in those four days. You're doing all the work in the other four days but that's fine, right? Yeah. Free dental work is my work perk. Oh,

that's a good work perk. Oh my god, that's amazing. I think this is about laser hair removalists. Oh, they just get in there and get it done. Don't do yourself though. No, but you get your mates to do it in between clients. They do. I talk to them all the time. Yeah, but then you don't want your workmates seeing you. You foo-foo.

They have to charge up the machine and put on the glasses and they go, tack, tack, tack, tack, tack, tack, tack. You'd just get in there, wouldn't you? I get to see free parcels from work. That's pretty sweet. Oh, yeah. Two paid hours a week to work out at a gym. Oh, yeah.

That's a pretty good perk. And someone said, my work perk was the boss's daughter. Sorry? I beg your pardon. I beg your pardon. Wow. Okay.

24 minutes to wait. Next. It's Wednesday the 15th of May, which means my show opens tonight in Wellington. And I'm, whoa, I'll be on the stage. It's been a stressful few days behind the scenes, isn't it? It's been stressful. But you've looked at the guest list for tonight's show.

Who's booked tickets for tonight? It was A-OK and Toy Saw One Name. Well, I've been working on my show and it's finally the opening night tonight at Te Awa in Wellington and I'm excited. Part of the New Zealand Comedy Festival. Yes, which is going at the moment.

Go out and see some shows. There's shows on every single night, big, small, and otherwise. And mine's one of them. And you know what? Good thing I'm charming. These are the words I've been receiving from my mother and Aaron. I wrote the show, and I forgot to learn it. You know?

Okay, right. And then yesterday I sat down and I was like. Well, a stand-up comedian's not making it all up off the cuff. Oh, sorry. Yes, yes, yes. Sorry, sorry. I forgot to learn the bullet points from which I'm just. Because they tell you stories

like it's the first time they've told them. Yeah, I know. Yeah, wow. Liars, are they? Yeah. It's all an act. Wow. But I've been writing my show, and it's always in there,

and I was like, right. Yesterday I just realised, oh, God, I haven't really learnt it. I went through it. I was like, oh, yeah, I can get through this. And then I was like, shit, it's quite long. I'd better time it. Okay. So I took all the segments of the show and I timed them out.

I have an hour on stage. I think about 90 minutes in, I realised I was in trouble. Oh, 90? Well, that's a good problem to have. No, it's not. Why is it not? Because there's a show right after me. So then I was like, right, I've got to get a heck sort of this thing.

No, but that's what I mean, a good problem as in you can just lose. What do you lose, though? You lose a bit. What do you lose? What part? And then you see you lose. Oh, what do you lose? Because if you lose some parts of it, it doesn't make the next flip.

How does it bridge to the part? It was the bridge between the two other parts. I know. Having too much would be a nightmare. And this was my, I know, I'd rather be trying to fill. I've left no room for laughter, by the way, so you better hope it's not funny. There's no time for that shit.

Okay, yeah. I'm on a tight schedule here. So I started hacking the script apart and then in my head I was like, how do I know if these aren't the parts that are really funny and I'm just leaving the crap? So that could be the case. Anyway, I'm excited to do it in Wellington

because Wellington audiences are really fun and we get a little loose fun time as I'm discovering what the hell I've made. But I always get anxious when there's people I know in the audience. I'm always like, I would rather a million strangers than five people I know and love. Because when we came to one of your shows, you're like, don't sit at the front.

Don't sit at the front. Don't look at me. Sit like middle to the back. Yeah. I don't think she spoke like that or said yous. She did. She did. She says yous guys.

I don't want to see yous guys. I don't want to see yous. Yeah. Well, I know when you're, because you're coming in Wellington with quite a big group, Fletch and Vaughn, you're coming in Auckland

but you've got allocated seating. In Wellington, it's not. Yeah. So I'm reserving. You will see if you come on Friday, Saturday night in Wellington, a big row reserved because these bastards

will sit at the front and it'll throw me. So you're going to put us at the back. Reserved. Anyway, so what I can do on my ticket website, I can check how sales are going, is I can see literally

who's bought them. And you go through and you're like, oh okay, there's all the names of the people that are coming tonight. To the fun, raw, it'll be the naughtiest and probably the best show of the week because it's going to be so wild. And I like to just check that there's no one in there that's going to really throw me.

Why would I do it? Because I won't be able to see them. Why are you looking at the guest list? It's self-regulation. How do you see the guest list? So when people buy tickets, it says who bought the tickets. You can go through and just say, oh, okay, Emily Bathgate's coming. Oh, I don't there. Oh, okay, that's interesting. You can go through and just say, oh, okay, Emily Bathgate's coming. Oh, I don't know. So are you saying that a psychic

who ran the same similar ticket system would have people's names before they turned up at the gig? Depending on the ticket system. So in Auckland, I can't see who's booked. I can't see a name list. But this is iTicket. But they could opt for a service

that would give people access to their names before they turned up at the show, giving them time to do background research. All I'm saying is that's a very interesting proposition. I could obtain a list of every single person that's ever been to my show at any point in life. Yes. Anyway, so I was looking at Wednesday night

and I was like, okay, I don't know this. I don't know this person. Welcome. Can't wait to host you. Can't wait to entertain you. I'm getting down. It's an alphabetical. I'm getting down. This is great. I don't know this person. Welcome. Can't wait to host you. Can't wait to entertain you. I'm getting down. It's an alphabetical. I'm getting down.

This is great. I'm in the Ks. Perfect. L. Who the hell are you? Katerina. See you there. Don't care.

Great. David, I don't know who the hell you are. David's not going to make you nervous. No. Isla's not going to throw me. Abby, bring it on. Okay. Then I see a name.

Uh-oh. Who is it? Why are you uh-oh-ing? I see a name. Uh-oh. Who is it? Why are you uh-oh-ing? I have a hypothesis on who it might be. It's my ex-boyfriend. Oh, no, I thought it might be. Oh, I thought it was going to be a big. I thought Chloe Swarbrick.

Oh, shit. I know you were like, it's Chloe Swarbrick. No, it's not Chloe Swarbrick. Wait, you can. She supports the arts, though. She might have gone under an alias. Or she could be on someone else's ticket, and you'll just see her there, and that'll absolutely...

Well, that's the thing. It'll say a name, and then under it will be, like, four tickets. Yes, yeah. Now, a friend might have booked them. No, it is my ex-boyfriend, and he's booked one ticket. He's trying to win you back after 30 years. Yeah. We broke up when I think I was, like, 18.

My boyfriend Hamish is coming. When's the last time you saw your ex-boyfriend? At a wedding, maybe five or six years ago. Like I'd say would, you know, if we saw each other, we'd hang, you would be like, hi, hi. But like, I haven't seen him in years. I thought you were going to say like a big celebrity was coming. No, oh no, no, no, no, no, no.

But is this enough to throw you though? Well, it was just one person that I was like, man, I haven't seen him in years. We used to date, literally when I was like a teenager. But now I feel like I want, you know, like I've got someone to impress. Right, whereas when it's a stranger, you don't have that. Oh, well, like a bunch of strangers leave, like I've got someone to impress. Right. Whereas when it's a stranger, you don't have that. You're like, oh, well, like a bunch of strangers leave and they're like, that was shit. You're like, oh, I'll never see them again.

It's fine. Yeah. But now this person will be like, I haven't seen you in years. And that was shit. Yeah. And you're rubbish at what you do. Who ended it? Hayley James Brower. Hayley ended it.

Wow. So maybe he's wanting to win you back? I think the writing was on the wall when we were dating during my seventh form ball. And he started talking about getting a suit. And I was like, I'm not taking you. I'm taking my friend. Well, you broke his heart. I took my gay friend.

I know. Wait, you took a gay friend? Yeah, I took my gay friend. Because I just knew we'd have a great time. Was the earring in the left or the right? Yeah. It was in the gay, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, but again, you're still not saying airing in the left or the right? Yeah. It was in the gay, yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah, but again, you're still not saying if it's the left or the right. Like, you never say which one it is. It was his right, my left. Right. Stage right. Stage right. Stage right.

It was stage right. Well, good luck for your comedy show tonight. Thank you. And Hamish, I can't wait to see you in the audience. You know, we're going to have a wild, fun time. Are you going to make a thing about it? My ex is here? No. Well, she's 90 minutes as it is. She can't afford to see you in the audience. You know, we're going to have a wild, fun time. Are you going to make a thing about it? My ex is here. No.

Well, she's 90 minutes as it is. She can't afford to give 15 minutes of improv to her ex thing, man. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, a big study out of the USA has looked at rounding up when you are at the checkout, whether it's a department store, the supermarket. It's a huge thing in America and it's kind of, it's been big in Australia and it's a department store, the supermarket, it's a huge thing in America and it's kind of, it's been big in Australia and it's, I feel like now it's getting bigger and bigger every year here.

Yeah. Like the supermarkets do it now. They never used to. Yeah. I, because it used to be the common ones, which was like cotton on was always one. Yeah. It was always like round up to or add $5 or buy a bag

and that goes to this thing. And you're always like, oh yeah. And then like farmers started doing it. And then yeah, more and more and more companies are like, do you want to round up to this? Air New Zealand does it when you book a flight, right? Oh, that's carbon. Oh, that's carbon emission.

That just makes you feel, yeah, someone buys part of a tree and you feel better about wasting the planet. $1.16. Well, in America in 2022 it was three quarters of a billion dollars was made by rounding up. I'll do it. I do it at

McDonald's. When you do the order on the screen, when you end, round up for the Ronald McDonald House because I've personally seen the amazing things that the Ronald McDonald House does. There's no doubt all of the charities are worthy charities. Wow. But then I wonder because who...

Some of them are big, mysterious international ones, and I'm wondering where the money gets to. But then when you give money to a company, say you're at the supermarket, and you round up and give a donation, are they then getting a tax break? Yes. Or a credit? Yes. Is that a thing? Because you're not claiming it. Yeah they then getting a tax break? Yes. Or a credit? Yes. Is that a thing? Because you're not claiming it.

Yeah, it's not going directly to them. Tax credits for donations. This is from the IRD website. You can claim 33.33 cents for every dollar you donated to approved charities and organisations. You can only claim on donations that added up to the same amount or less than your taxable income during the tax year. But then what about for a company?

Well, yeah, the company can do it. It's exactly what it is. So if you're there adding your little bit to your countdown order. Yes, of which you are doing a charity donation, but nobody's going to be like, I need the receipt to prove I made a charitable donation. And doesn't it have to be over a certain amount though, right? It's in the flux.

Right. Yeah, but if it adds up, it's in the flux. Let's say a three quarters of a billion is what you said, right? Yeah. Three quarters of a billion in the flux. Right. Yeah, but if it adds up, it's in the flux. Let's say a three quarters of a billion is what you said, right? Yeah. Three quarters of a billion in small amounts. No one's worrying about it as an individual. But then the companies that gather that and make the donation get the 33 cents. Are you sure, Vaughan?

Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Why wouldn't it work like that? But it makes sense, right? You're putting money into their coffers. Then they don't take that direct money to the charity. They're just making their own personal donation,

which has been topped up by you. Yeah. And so it looks like they're making a $100,000 donation from their money. And so then they can claim back on all of that. Wild. So if you were to get it, aren't you better to just donate directly to the charity?

Probably, yeah. And then you get a tax credit. But then that's the thing. It's like you don't want to poo-poo it because are you going to do that? Are you going to go on the Cotton On Foundation and give $5 off your credit card? Yeah.

No. Probably not. Probably not. So it's just easier to do it when you shop. Yeah. So another thing that this study looked at is those that actually round up when they are at the checkout and a lot of people would have thought it

would have been moneyed well educated, over 50s you know they've got a lot of money so they would donate and round up but it's actually not it's younger and diverse people are more likely to donate and round up at the checkout. Makes sense. Than older middle class moneyed people

yeah. Like and women and so this is out of America up at the checkout. Makes sense. Than older, middle class, moneyed people. Yeah. And women, and so this is out of America, it was women and black respondents were the top giving demographics. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting. Not older. Not older, moneyed, higher earning, white people. College graduates. Not them. Isn't that wild?

Is it sort of like a not my problem thing? Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Too far removed from the course. Someone that hasn't recently benefited from help. Some charity. Or some charity assistance. So are we rounding up or are we not?

Or are we neutral? We're rounding up. Well, like you say, when it's a human asking you to round up, you don't want to say no. Yes. Can I just take a moment? There's a text message in. Okay. It supports my theory, you don't want to say no. Yes. Can I just take a moment? There's a text message in that supports my theory, so I'd like to hear that.

Okay. Yeah, go, go. Yes, 100%. The corporates get the tax break. I work for a corporate, brackets, gross, and it's even part of our budgeting process every financial year. We're already committed to and make the donation, so always say no.

Always donate directly to the charity because we're getting the tax benefit of your donation. Someone else messaged in about other companies. They already do the donation. They're trying to claw back what they've donated. Right. So if you don't give it, they've already made it. You're not likely to go and donate to them, are you?

So at least they're getting something. No, but they've already done it. You're not likely to go and donate to them, are you? So at least they're getting something. No, but they've already done it. You're not giving the charity. This charity is getting $100,000. Correct. But the people that we've got a problem with, the supermarket duopoly, are also getting a tax break when they won't lower prices.

So it all depends on your take on it. You'll get it going directly to the source. Yeah. But will you do it? Yeah. Yeah. Wow.

We don't just laugh out loud here on Fletch for an hour. Yeah. We tax break harder. We tax out harder. We tax out harder. Play Zed-N's Fletch for an hour.

Play Zed-N. Later today, I'm assuming there will be a video on social media of Vaughan singing along to that song with the lyrics. No, rude, don't. I just said to my daughters last night in the car when that song came on, they were like singing. I said, how do you know the words to this? Because I've heard this song up whatever hundred times now and I still have zero idea of any word Sabrina Carpenter is saying apart from espresso.

I'm a a a a espresso. And I know Nintendo, she says something about Nintendo at one stage. So I looked up the lyrics. Tell you what, she's

really on a different rhythm. Here's a different rhythm. She's hitting different rhythms. Here's a great story. She shared it on TikTok. There's a woman who used the power of, is it Uber Eats or is it DoorDash? I think it might be one of those.

A food delivery service to catch her boyfriend cheating. So she suspected her boyfriend had gone to see a certain person. Yeah. So what she did was order a something. In this case, it was a chocolate bar. Yeah. You know, you can do like groceries. Yeah, the cheapest thing you can get. Okay.

On Uber Eats and then in the notes put leave it at the door and then put brackets. You can throw it away or keep the chocolate for yourself. Can you just check if you see a silver Cadillac car parked outside this house and message me and let me know. It was a king-size Kit Kat. Was she working? She couldn't just drive over and look herself?

I don't know. I don't know. Maybe she was just trying to be inconspicuous. Oh, my God. I just saw deliver by 6.17 a.m. Oh. Has he stayed the night? A chocolate bar at 6.17 a.m.

Has he stayed the night? He must have stayed the night. And that was before he goes to work. And that's the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why she's trying to catch him out. It's like, where's he been all night? Can you see if there's a thing? I'm so sorry to even bring this up because there's no...

No, there's no... Are you telling me there's no conclusion? No. I'm going back on her videos and I'm like, where did you catch him? So she just looks crazy. Did the Uber driver or DoorDash driver play along? Yeah, apparently. They were like...

Oh, sorry, it's playing music now. This is along. Yeah, apparently. They were like, oh, sorry, it's playing music now. This is TikTok. Yeah, apparently. Everyone in the comments is just like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, update. Hey, hey, hey. Was it there? You can't put up a video like that

that goes mega viral. Don't put it up until you've got the resolution. I know. Or at least follow it up with how it all went. You can't leave the world hanging. Because even then you can look crazy. I wasn't doing anything and I was just, you know. Yeah.'t know. Or at least follow it up with how it all went. You can't leave the world hanging. Because even then you can look crazy. I wasn't doing anything and I was just, you know.

Yeah. I know. I imagined the entire thing. You should see the comments. Until you've got your resolution, then post it all and craft the story. Come on, TikToks. Yeah, someone said at 6 a.m., that's a sleepover check. Yeah, it is.

Yeah, I know. Anyway, genius. Yeah. Genius, right? If you sort of knew. Hide an air tag in a shoe, come on. Well, that's problematic. Problematic. Yeah, right? Hide an ear tag in his shoe. Come on. Well, that's problematic.

Problematic. Plus it'll beep and he'll hear it. You've got to hide it somewhere he won't hear it, like the exterior of his car. In the boot. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Anyway, I want to know,

maybe you came up with a clever way of doing it, how you caught out your partner when they were cheating. Because you hear of stories now with Apple Watches or stuff like that or Find Friends. Yeah, totally. I mean, this Uber Eats thing's genius. It makes sense. If you suspect it's someone

and you know where it is. I would, if I was an Uber driver and that happened, I would be like, yes, some excitement. This is my night. I'm here for it. I'm here for this. I mean, you're getting F all commission

on a chocolate bar on a king size Kit Kat. You'd hope for a good tip. You'd hope for a tip. You'd hope for a good tip. You'd hope for a good tip. You're basically becoming a private investigator. Maybe that's what Uber should do next. You know, Uber Eats, Uber Uber Delivery, like packages.

Uber Investigates and you know for $5. Or drive around and do your duty work. Yeah. Snoop on your partner. That's a dream job. I would love this. Yeah, it would be amazing. I'm just trying to Google to see if there was any update on any end of it. But so

far, yeah, at this stage, who knows? Leave it with me. I'll keep trying. We want to take your texts now. 9696 you can call us. 0800 DALES at M. How did you catch out your partner cheating on you?

You clever little detectives. Maybe you had to do some private investigator work. Maybe you had to get some friends stalking them in the car. Oh yeah. Following them with a disguise. Oh yeah. Oh god, we've got some hacking. Okay. ZM's

Fletchvorn and Hayley. Well, a woman used Uber Eats to try to see if her boyfriend's car was parked in another woman's house. She put it in the notes for the delivery guy. We thought this was genius. So we want to know the way that you caught your partner cheating on you. Can we start with the Wi-Fi one? Because that is genius. People are so clever. I have been told that if you know the address of the person they're cheating with

or you have your suspicions, take your cheating partner to their address, which would be terrifying enough as it is, right? Yeah. I love this neighbourhood. Come look at the beautiful houses. Yeah. And pull into the driveway of one. Then check this phone and see if it's hooked up to the Wi-Fi.

That's not a one-off though, eh? That's when you've been. That's a second hook-up. You don't connect to Wi-Fi on a one-night stand. No, no. But if you're staying the night several times, you're connecting to the Wi-Fi. You're on the Wi-Fi. It's a lot of data.

Oh, it's so much data. Someone said, I caught my partner cheating. He had his location on and went out with the boys and then turned his phone off once he got to the place. Oh, but he's already there. Forgetting it would show the last known location. This is our mate's house. It was a girl. Tried to deny it.

I showed him the screenshot. His response was, oh, that's weird. It must be wrong. Yeah, but you were there. It showed you there. Don't explain that. It showed you there. But explain it.

Anonymous, good morning. How did you catch a cheating partner yeah this always happens because we give people we call them anonymous yeah am i uh no anonymous what happened oh i think we've got a bad phone line let's see i'll just put you on hold we'll continue reading some messages that That's all right. I managed to get into his phone after a long time with suspicion. I found a text to his ex with whom he has a child saying,

don't forget to take your pill. Sorry? Sorry what? Either he's years too late. Yeah, or he means like it's happening again. Do you know what I miss? I miss the days when Snapchat used to show your top three friends and it really exposed some cheating.

Do you ever remember that? Because I was only on Snapchat for such a short amount of time in 2013 and I loved it. And all my top friends were marching friends and stuff. But you can't hide it. You can't order them. Because it showed people your top three, right? Yeah, it did.

It was public. Because you showed people your top three, right? Yeah, it did. It showed your, it was public. Because you always wanted to be like, oh my God, yes, I'm your number one or whatever. How often did it refresh? All the time. All right. So it would be like daily or like top three of the day? Yeah. It was just constantly refreshing the top three and it caught out so many people.

Yeah. Because you'd be like, how are you, who is this? Why are you snapping them so much? Let's see, anonymous, how's your phone line now? Hi, sorry, it's good now. Was this you or a friend? I drove my friend.

Okay. It was me. I was seeing someone for about a year and then my friend matched with him on Tinder. And so she showed me. And I was like, oh, okay. Is he replying to you? And so she showed me the messages.

And I was like, hmm, okay. And we made a plan to go to his house. Yes, you are a nightmare. I love this. We didn't know that I obviously was going. So I drove her over there and they were messaging and he was like, yeah, this house, come in. And so he went up to the front door and knocked, he opened the door and I was like, hi. Oh my God. Oh my God. What happens then? Does he explode?

No, he's speechless pretty much. And I was like, so, yeah, we're done. And then we left. It wasn't a drama. It wasn't anything. I actually found it quite hilarious. Yeah. Oh my God. It's good from you to just not to because I just feel like I wouldn't have the cool

to think of something cool like that. I'd just be like texting like, you bastard, you know? Yeah. You just kind of lose it. Oh, I really wanted to. I really, my friend had to stop me a couple of times just before we got to his house for messaging. I'm sure that, no, no, this will be great. This will be great. Yeah.

Oh, wow. So he'd been seeing you for a year and didn't know that was your friend? No, no. I was just done. Right. And you were officially together, like you'd made it official.

You were. After a year. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Right. And you were officially together, like you'd made it official, you were... After a year? Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Okay. That is amazing. Good for you. Yeah.

I like that. Thank you. I found bobby pins with blonde hair in them on our dresser in our room that were not mine. I was,

I'm brunette and I use a darker coloured pin. Yeah. Okay. Also, our flatmate was a guy so that excuse didn't wash. Bobby pins.

You can't explain those. They're so specific. Men don't go out and buy bobby pins. They're there for a reason. Are bobby pins one of the ones with the little squiggle? Oh, my God. You're not constantly picking them out of your washing machine. Oh, yeah.

No, I don't have any of those. You're not constantly tinging up the tube of the vacuum cleaner. Oh, getting stuck in things. I don't use them. I think in fact, you don't, someone's left them at my house before. Maybe Morgan. Oh, cheater.

Margaret, she left stuff behind before she died. She's long gone. Long gone. And she famously had a shaved head. My fictitious wife. Yeah. I found out my now ex-husband. As much as they come,

the fact that she was with a man was, people were shocked. It was very surprising. She may have been cheating. She always lived there. I always knew she was there when I walk in and all your Doc Martens were lined up at the door. Drop the fake wife thing.

It's been nice not hearing about it for three months. I found out that my now ex-husband, who I was married to for 23 years, was cheating, having an affair with a prostitute. Now, is that an affair or a business transaction? That's a business transaction. That's a business transaction. That's a business transaction. I managed to get into his phone after he changed the password

and had become very secretive. Guys, one of our very own, Shannon, has just commented saying, I actually left bobby pins at a guy's place once because I thought he might have a girlfriend. You were doing her a solid. What? Yeah, I kind of got the vibes when he was being a bit sus. Wait, Shannon's

blonde. Maybe this did work. Maybe this could be connected. Oh, my goodness. Imagine. It was in Christchurch, so text my show and let me know. But, yeah, I just knew I wasn't going to see him again after that day, and I had some bobby pins in my hair, and I used the blonde ones, like the really light ones.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I just left them on the bench, and I was like, well, if she sees them, she'll know. He probably wouldn't look. This is wild. The other side of the story. Yeah, I just did her a solid hopefully. Like a little Hansel and Gretel breadcrumb.

Darling, I just shagged your husband. Some more messages. I said to my partner, I spoke to Sarah, and she told me everything that happened. He shrugged and said, oh, well, now you know. I didn't know, and I hadn't even spoken to Sarah, but he just admitted it. Reverse psychology.

Oh, that's a catch-out. She's a spider, that one. Or what about when you say you've got an STI and you haven't? Yeah, when you go, hey, do you want to explain to me why I've got chlamydia? Yeah. Oh, shit. Oh, I didn't know.

I've been cheating with Sandra the whole time. And then, boom, I don't have it. Who's Sandra? Yeah. And you don't even have ch have it. Who's Sandra? Yeah. And you don't even have chlamydia. It's great. I caught my partner. No, that's always a positive.

You know what? I caught my partner cheating just based on a pure gut feeling. Initially, I went to a few different bars in the city to check if she was there, places I thought she'd be. Spent hours taxiing everywhere until my friend came to help me search for her. Started at 8 p.m. Eventually, it was 4 a.m. We were tired and we'd searched everywhere.

On the way home, we drove past a newly built motel. For some reason, my gut told me to drop by and we did. True enough. I saw her car there and just as we were leaving, they also left and drove off. We chased them. She knew we were following them

and our cars were side by side. When she saw me, she hid by hunching back. Oh, you little shit. Gut feeling. Search for how long? Eight hours. Eight hours. Oh, okay.

That's a bit much, isn't it? It's a lot. I mean, if you know, you know, right? You'd have a feeling, wouldn't you? It's a lot. Newly built motel. At least they went fancy. Yeah, nice.

Yeah. Nice, fresh sheets. No blood on those sheets. Nice. Nice. Nice clean duvets for a change. Yeah. Jesus. Doesn't Nice clean duvets for a change. Yeah. Jesus.

Doesn't have that smoke smell yet. Some of these are real like detective work here. It's good stuff. I'm proud of everyone. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's Fact of the Day.

Today's Fact of the Day. This week here at Fact of the Day, it's inventions named after their inventor week. Okay. Things that you just say by a name and you're like, you don't really think about it. Today, the Jacuzzi. Oh.

Richard Jacuzzi. Nope. No, it'll be like Lorenzo Jacuzzi. I think one of the Jacuzzi brothers was called Lorenzo. Yeah, that's one of the Italian names. Because it was a- Mario? Hold on. Kevin.

Hold on, I've got all the- Kevin Jacuzzi. I had the entire Jacuzzi family name. Giacondo, Frank, Rochelle, Candido, Joseph, Jalindo, and Veliano. Veliano. Veliano Jacuzzi. Are you talking about like a jetted hot tub? Yeah. Not just a hot tub.

What's the difference between a jacuzzi and a spa? Same thing, right? Not much. Yeah. The spa pool is just the non-branded. A jacuzzi was the brand that became synonymous with the thing. Because a hot tub, a spa, and a jacuzzi, all the same. A hot tub existed.

A hot tub technically, from my research, limited be it, a hot tub, a spa and a jacuzzi, all the same. A hot tub existed. A hot tub technically, from my research, limited be it, a hot tub doesn't need jets. A hot tub can just be an outside sort of a bath or a larger hot tub. A tub that's hot. And those have been around ever since we've had fire, right? Yes. It was in 1948 that the Jacuzzi family, with Candido at the charge, invented a...

Isn't that like thrush or something? Yeah, Candida. Yeah. The Candida bacteria. You wouldn't want that in your spa, in your hot tub. It's a fungi, Candida, yeah. Chlorine will take care of that.

Candido. Candido? Candido. His name translates to yeast infection. Summer yeast infection. That's terrible. That is terrible. That is terrible. Embarrassing.

Sorry, carry on. They invented a pump that would pump water around or into a hot tub circulating the water that was to treat a family member's rheumatoid arthritis. Candido had a son. His son's name was Kenneth. And he was born with a very bad... Didn't stick with the cool... Ken Jacuzzi. His name was Ken Jacuzzi. And he was born with a very bad Ken Jacuzzi.

His name was Ken Jacuzzi. Ken Jacuzzi. His name was Ken Jacuzzi. Yeah. He passed away in 2017. He would not have lived a long and, as he described it, semi-normal life had it not been for this invention. As a child, he had severe rheumatoid arthritis and other disabilities.

When he grew up, he became an advocate for the disabled, but he said it wouldn't have happened if my dad and his family hadn't invented the jacuzzi. The spa. Okay. Wow. Yeah. It was in 1948. They were doing hydrotherapy for his

rheumatoid arthritis when Ken was a child. And the family always noted afterwards, he felt better he could move more. We should be able to do this at home. So they invented a hydrotherapy pump called the J300 the Jacuzzi 300. And put a patent on that.

Now people were using it for medical purposes but then someone apparently, you know, a rich old lady probably was just like, I'm just going to have one. I'd love to have some wines and that. Why shouldn't I be allowed to have the thing that disabled children are having? Yeah. And it really took off when it was used as a game show prize.

Oh, okay. In the 1960s. And on Wheel of Fortune? An American game show. Well, it was just kind of across all of the game shows that the studio was making. Right. Yeah. And then it was like kind of across all of the game shows that the studio was making. Right. Yeah. And then it was like, this is actually great for relaxation.

And then people are like, I just like it. Yeah. And now you've got like spa pools with like bajillions jets and lights. All sorts. All kinds. You get 10 people spas. Yeah. But from a guy who knows, every moving part is just another part

that can break and isn't cheap to replace. So keep it simple out there. And you've got almost quite a simple one. Like yours isn't all flashing lights. The jets with the spinny bits, when they break, and they do, because they're in a chlorinated water, you've got to trim.

Stop! My skin will not be broken in this conversation. Your spa pool is clogged with bed pubes. You've got to trim. Sir, my pubes will not be brought into this conversation. Your spa pool is clogged with bed pubes and... It's not bed pubes. It goes through the filter. It goes through the sand filter. No pubes can make it back through the sand filter. Yours are too thick.

Yours are thicker than sand. It's like the sand which is made to filter is getting hit with a Brillo pad. And then Vaughn always says, oh, it's broken because he doesn't want us coming around. No, exactly that. And it's never broken. There's definitely that. It's not broken at the moment. Ken Jacuzzi would invite us over.

Oh, my God. Ken would be a good mate. Because he looked after his pubes. He looked after his pubes and his mates. And his filter. Gosh. I can't believe you're speaking about the deceased's pubes with such frivolence.

We can only assume they were good. He's Italian. One of them well known for keeping... Well known for their hairiness and therefore them upkeep and their maintenance. Yeah, upkeep and the maintenance of the pubes. I want to stand corrected. Maybe that was the special feature of the J300 pump. Yeah, good tube filtering.

Wasn't affected by pubes. Good pubic maintenance. A pre and a post-pube filter. Yeah. So today's fact of the day is the Jacuzzi, the hot tub with a big pump on it for hydrotherapy, was named after the Jacuzzi family of Italy. Fact of the day, day, day, a photo frame.

Yes. A picture frame, you know, like a blank one. Yeah. And I had a farmer's gift A picture frame You know like a blank one Yeah And I had a farmer's gift card Oh lovely So I was like Oh my god Must be nice

This is good Who got you a farmer's gift card? I don't know Oh my god Maybe mum ages ago I don't know But it's in the It's been in the drawer for ages

And I was like I'd use that on undies I reckon Yeah that's what I buy Well no I've got enough undies At the moment Yeah And then I found this frame online And it was like $56 because it's A2, massive. A2 frame.

An A2 frame. So I was like, oh my God, $6, what a steal. Yeah. So I went in and I found the frame in the store and I went up to the counter and gave it to the lady and she scanned it and she was like, oh, you actually can get one of these free because it's buy one, get one free. And I was like, oh, yeah, but I don't need another one. Right.

But you're entitled to it. Yeah. And then she was like, yeah, but it's free. And just so she was so excited about this extra free frame. I know. I felt bad. You didn't need it. That I don't

need another frame and it's humongous. A2 is like 4 A4s. Yeah. Like it's poster size. A2 is 4 A4s because it's 2 A3s. Yeah. Like it's A4 piece of paper portrait, then next to it's another one

and then underneath. Yeah, it's a full poster. Think about the old school posters you had on your wall. That's the size of it And so she's like Yeah, but it's free And I was like Yeah, but I don't want it I won't use it I only need one

And she's like Yeah, but come on It's free And I was like Okay Is this what's wrong with the world? How much Maybe you'll have

another print in the future Yeah, and I was like You'll see something you like Could you just give me this frame for $27.50? Oh, it doesn't work that way Oh, it doesn't work that way. No, it doesn't work that way. It doesn't work like that.

So she's like, no, but you can have one free. And I was like, okay then. And so I left the store with a giant frame under each arm. So what are you going to do? Where's the spare one? You'll get your poster in the first one. It's at my home just leaning against the wall. Okay, let's brainstorm ideas.

What about all your school certificates from when you were a young boy? No, it's A2. Pop them up in a... No. It's A2, that's far too big for his school certificates. A5 might be stretching it. Yeah.

Holmes car. There weren't many or any certificates. What about... What about a photo of our new marketing? And you can look at Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley

every morning. I'm not one of those people that just puts up photos of myself. Okay. What about just a photo of you and that just puts up photos of myself. Okay. What about just a photo of you and I? The background can change.

They can change the background if it's the background that's not selling it on there. You could do something more in keeping with your apartment. I'll just get another print. That's a hot idea. What about just a photo

of Vaughn and I? Vaughn and I have some nice photos together. You know what? You can get some more done. Knock yourself out if you want to give me an A2. We could do a shoot.

If you want to do an A2 print, I'll put you and Vaughn in the photo. Yeah, okay. I don't know, but now I'm like, yeah. But where's that one going to go? Is that in the bedroom? Because I want prime spot. I don't want to be shoved in the hallway. Yeah, or the new print's going in the bedroom.

The hallway, everybody sees the hallway, though. I wouldn't mind being on the end of the hallway. You know, but there's no natural light in there to really show off the print. Right, okay. I'm just looking through photos of Vaughan and I from back in the day. I don't know if that's... Ursula Carlson's in a lot of them. So do you want a photo of her in there as well?

I don't know. I just don't know. I'd probably go more for art. No offence. What about a picture of my cat? I've got heaps of those. No, I'm okay actually. He's got his own cat.

What kind of art are you in the market for? Because I can draw. Oh yeah, I don't know. Do some doodles for him. Yeah, do that thing in MS Paint where you open it up and you do little squiggly lines

and then you do bucket fills. Let's do that. A huge, and then just do a small one and then just get it blown up to A2. Stop talking. It's his birthday soon.

Oh no, don't even bother. It's his birthday soon. There's one thing I know about people that's buying art that they have no say on. It's always a great present.

Okay, here's some responses to the news that I'm about to give to you. Are you telling me I'm not hip no more? First, you cancel my skinny jeans. And now you're cancelling my, insert what I'm about to announce, what's next, messy buns? If you come for my black leggings, I will fight you to the death and I'll win because I'll be the one in leggings. What's being cancelled?

Ankle socks. Oh, yeah, that's fair enough. We're done. Okay, wait, because I, you know, I'm a big Sockets fan. Yeah. They were independently written off. Yeah, wait, because I, you know, I'm a big Sockets fan. Yeah. Jack, when we spoke to Jack Black. They were independently written off. Yeah.

They're long gone. If you listen to sex.life, you would know that they are the antithesis of a boner. Yeah. So, and then ankle socks. I love them. Seeing a man in an ankle sock is embarrassing. Like, it's embarrassing. Because the ankle sock is half of a full sock, right? A sports sock.

A crew. Yeah. That's a crew that I'm wearing here because I'm hip and trendy. I am wearing them underneath here. Are you wearing a crew? That's a crew. Oh, we've both got crew. What are you rocking? I've got... You're wearing a boot. There better not be an ankle under there. Nah, it's a... Is that a Pokemon sock? It's a Charmander sock. I've got my Charizard t-shirt

on. I just need some Charmeleon underpants. I've got all three stages of evolution. How did you get a hot wife, eh? I'm paying for it. I actually have no idea. I've got my Charizard t-shirt on. I just need some Charmeleon underpants. I've got all three stages of evolution. How did you get a hot wife, eh? I'm paying for it. I actually have no idea. I pay for it in different ways. Okay, right. So, guys, we're safe because we're all rocking a crew of various degrees.

But not when I get home. I'll get out of these crews and I'll put my ankle socks on and my gym shoes. That's embarrassing. Yeah, but this is what I think as well. It's hard. With gym shoes, I'll wear an ankle. I'll wear an ankle, not a skinny little ridge on the end. Yeah, they're too big for the gym.

I'll wear an ankle to the gym. Are we still allowed? Jen say, hi. Grandma speaking. We've got one. We've got one. Nanny here. It's Nanny Millennial.

Hello. Can you see me? Are we allowed to still wear ankle socks to the gym? Oh. Oh. Wow, no. A crew is a better look. And the real cute look at the moment is to pull them up over your leggings.

No, that makes me look like I've got big fat stocky legs. No, no, no. It gives me stocky legs. No, but that's the style. It's like the Princess Diana kind of. I was going to say 80s leg warmers, you're going to love my mum's generation. Me and Princess Diana do not have the same thighs.

I need a little bit of ankle so that it gives a bit of room. I mean, I'm being a hypocrite. I'm wearing ankle socks right now. Also, Gen Z won't see you at the gym because they're doing that thing where they, what do they call that thing when they stay in bed all day? Cozy. Duvet rotting. Duvet rotting. Duvet rotting.

Duvet rotting for the entire week in their bed. Yeah, they're not going to the gym. Yeah, they either go to the gym hard or they say like, I'm not going to the gym. That brings too much stress to my day. Yeah. Well, apparently they're just gone, man.

Right, so big socks. Big socks are in. We've got to get the crews. Your quarter crew, your full crew. No more ankle. And certainly, sir, not a sockette. It's embarrassing. They slip down like a little.

Yeah. No, mine don't slip. My ankle socks aren't good ankle socks. Those embarrassing little rubber bits on them. Yeah, they do. They're rubber bits. It's so cringe. If you liked today's podcast, tell your friends you could send them the link.
