Shut it down, changed your password. I don't think you should buy a name bang on flybys. We had two distinct flybys.

We merged our flybys. Oh my God, that's true love. Yeah, so I think if she shut hers down, does that mean I still have access? I don't know. I'm going to go to forgot passwords.

cleared you out. She's off to Mexico. It's your flybys points. Bloody hell. Next on the show a woman left her job in the UK and she wasn't happy. Oh no that's terrible. And she took her workplace to the employment court. Oh gosh. I'll tell you why she wasn't happy

on her last day next. Play. ZM. Fletchvorn and Hayley. Well a woman in the UK called I'll tell you why she wasn't happy on her last day next. Well, a woman in the UK called Karen has lost a workplace employment claim. She alleged over 40 complaints, one of which was the fact that she wasn't given a leaving card on her last day at work. Oh, that's unacceptable. One of those giant, obnoxious cards, which by the way have turned mostly into

online cards, which seem... Yeah, but it's lacking a bit of soul. Yeah, I don't like when they do that. Yeah. What's it called? I know we did. We've done a couple as of late.

Kudos boards. Yeah, kudos boards. It's not even cards. It's a kudos board. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To me, that's like, don't even bother.

Boy, yeah, I'll definitely print that out and keep it. Look at it when I'm 60. Yeah. Well, even a giant. Like, just don't bother. I don't want a giant card. Hey, no, let it be known. When I leave, I want a giant card. But, let it be known. When I leave, I want a giant card.

But I want it comically large. I want everything giant. I want it to have to shuffle through the door. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want it that big. Yeah, that's cool. And people need a ladder to ride up the top of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Exactly. What's it made of? It'd have to be made of core flute or something to hold itself structurally. Core flute will do. That's the stuff they make real estate signs out of, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would stand out.

But it'd have to be paper lined so you can get a nice grip on it with the pen. You can. You can do that. I want good chunky messages, not best wishes or best of luck

or sayonara. Yeah. I want really heartfelt stuff. She lost all of her claims against this company. She sounds like an absolute, like from this article, like a bit of a nutter. Yeah, a bit of a nightmare.

It turns out though that they had bought her a card but only three people had signed it. So they decided that it was actually more embarrassing to give her a card with three people and their good wishes in it than they just were like, well, let's just hide it because that's worse

than no card. How big's the company? It's a large insurance company, by the sounds of things. Yeah, so only three would really stick out. Also, I think there was a lot of working from home. This is like kind of going back like a year or two. And so not everybody was there to sign the card. It was where the kudos board comes in.

Yeah, but nobody wants a kudos board, an online thing. Just do a whip around and get me a little gift. You know what I mean? Yeah. Just some flowers or a cake. A voucher. Yeah, something nice.

A little massage voucher. There was also a ruling, I don't know if we spoke about this, an unrelated case. Earlier this year, an employment judge ruled that sending an employee an unwanted birthday card could amount to unwanted conduct and harassment. Oh, for God's sake.

Like, happy birthday. Okay, that's harassment. I actually feel threatened by this gift that you provided me. That's embarrassing. I don't know. Sometimes the times we live in are somewhat embarrassing. I don't know. It's embarrassing. Sometimes the times we live in are somewhat embarrassing.

Yeah. I was going to say, we need the return of the threat of Nazis to keep people, you know, more focused on the real problem. No, I probably don't want that. Then I was going to say, there kind of are Nazis. Yeah, have you been watching the news lately? Yeah, yeah, yeah, there are Nazis. Eerily similar. Yeah.

I don't think we've learnt a lot from history, have we? It doesn't feel like it. Looking at America and Europe at the moment? No. No. Yeah. I don't think we've learnt a lot from history, have we? It doesn't feel like it. Looking at America and Europe at the moment? No. No. No. ZM's Fletch,

Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. It's Taylor Tuesday. Lola, good morning. Good morning. Oh, hi Lola. You are in the draw to see her live

on the Errors Tour. Thank you so much. Oh my goodness gracious. You all right? Yeah. You're up very early. Yeah, I know. Oh, my God.

Well, you did it. You did the hard bit. Did you manage to see Taylor in Australia? No. But you tried? Yeah, I did. I love it. Trying to keep it together. I love it.

Trying to keep it together. I love it. This is great, Lola. Well done. You are in the draw. Flying United Airlines of the UN nonstop from Auckland and Christchurch to the USA, exploring more than 200 destinations across the Americas. It's your last day today. More Taylor songs are coming up. Flash, Fawn 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. Today's silly little pole. Have you ever walked out of a, walked out mid-film while at the cinema? You know, I've never done this because I've paid so much money to be there, I've never left. But you've never been in a bad movie? Nah, I'm so through it.

I think I might have done it once because, you know, we get a lot of tickets to see movies. Yeah. Right. And you don't choose. Yeah. Yeah. I walked out of the female Ghostbusters.

Call me an anti-feminist. It was so bad. Okay. And I'm a huge Kristen Wiig fanfeminist. It was so bad. Okay. And I'm a huge Kristen Wiig fan. Even though you'd paid. Yeah. Okay. Wow.

See, I wouldn't go to a movie. I wouldn't pay to go to a movie unless I was like fairly sure I was going to enjoy it. Well, I liked Ghostbusters and I like women and I like Kristen Wiig and all the ingredients. I would have sat through it. Yeah, curdled. Right. But a lot of people are walking out of Joker 2 because they don't know it's a musical.

And they really like the first one and this one's quite different. Yeah, God, it doesn't sound good, does it? No, it doesn't really. I think it was on track to lose the studio like $150 million or something. Do you know they were saying as well that when you watch the interviews

with Joaquin and Lady Gaga, that they have an energy that they know it's bad. I haven't seen any interviews, which to me is a bad sign for a movie if the people who made it aren't even doing press. They're doing lots, but they're just sort of like... Are they? Yeah. I haven't seen any press. Why do people think musical movies are a good idea?

Is it musical? Yeah. Like a musical is and they break into song Yeah Like What? I mean I haven't seen it Like Hairspray and Grease

Yeah What was that you were saying Joker? Well I think Oh no Yeah No No no no no No no no

Especially because the first one was so good The first one was so good The kind of movie that you just you'd want to see the second The performance was amazing 70% of people have not Walked out of movies 30% have That's a lot that have

You know what else I've never done? I've never fallen asleep in the movies Even on the recliner bed Never Because a lot of people are like, oh my god I fell asleep I was like, how do you fall asleep? You paid so much to be there. Yeah. My eyes are held open with money. Coins.

Coins in the eyes like I'm about to, you know, go on the river to the underworld. Adam says La La Land, one of the worst films ever. I don't disagree. Yeah, it wasn't great. It was a shit film. I didn't bother. But I didn't see it in the movies. Because that was a musical too, right? Yeah. Yeah. One of the worst films ever. I don't disagree. Yeah, it wasn't great. It was a shit film. I didn't bother. But I didn't see the movies. Because it was a musical too, right? Yeah. Yeah. One of the worst films

ever. It did help that we had a monthly pass at the time, so it didn't cost... Oh, right. So how good were those? I don't think they do them anymore. Cinemas would do monthly passes and you could go like a lot of times a month to the movies. So yeah, if you walked out, you're like, well, we'll just go and see another one. Yeah. Cloverfield.

I was on a first date and the movie made me feel so sick with the way they filmed it even having to leave that was filmed I loved it it was great

but it was when they're running and the camera's like that that was a hard watch Abby found it a hard watch they could have used some stabilisation there

some gyro cameras it was like a found footage thing yeah like a Blair Witch situation. Oh my god, best film. I haven't walked out, but I'm guilty of waking up during the closing credits, says Brandon. Whoopsie whoopsie.

Mentally walked out. Yeah, I would like, on the odd occasion, I'll drag my wife to see a superhero movie and she's like, alright, let's go. I'm like, there's post-credit scenes. She's like, how long is this going to take? You do have to stay we've been there yeah yeah

Tony said the Blair Witch Project I was hung over in the camera move and gave me motion sickness plus the movie was scaring the shit out of me

yeah that was the same that was the same vibe on the motion sickness on the big screen yeah snakes on the mother effing plane yeah that's a bad movie

still gives me the shits thinking about it says Jennifer but I'm not sure if she means the shits as in like I'm angry I movie. Still gives me the shits thinking about it, says Jennifer. But I'm not sure if she means the shits as in, like, I'm angry, I paid to see it, or the shits as in, the snakes were scary. Maybe both, yeah. What is it called when you're scared of snakes? Uh, snake-phobia. Snake-phobia.

You idiot. You don't even need to know. Why are you googling? We just told you, snake-ophobia. It's not. Oh, my God. And so the fear of spiders isn't spiderphobia? Well, yes, I won't disagree on that. Of course it's spiderphobia.

You're so dumb. You're dumb. The fear of snakes is ophidiophobia. Oh, my God. Now he's making up words to try and sound smart. And the fear of spiders is just doobity-doobity-doobity-phobia. Might be. Wow.

God, we've got a dumb friend down your hands here. It's good though because it kind of balances out the show because you don't want a super highly intellectual show in the morning.

Yeah, no. Otherwise it would be too much. Yeah, yeah. I like to keep it a little bit lowbrow so everybody's got something on the show.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Farts and stuff. Yeah. It's and stuff. Yeah. It's good stuff. Your mama jokes. Bourne has been trying to bring back your mama jokes. No, she has.

You have been. She's been encouraging me. I don't like them. Your mum's been encouraging me. My kids say them to each other. And I'm like, you've got the same mother. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

And she's right here making you a lovely meal. Yeah. Stop apologising. Yeah. Putting this roof over your head. Susie just says... What's Susie got to say? It's been redacted.

I won't say which cinema. She took not even the movie. The cinema complex I went to was terrible. I forgot how bad old school seats when they put out the ad for the please keep your feet off our quality seats. I laughed super loud. Honestly, I'd rather wait and watch it in the comfort of my own home. Although I will say a lot of cinemas now have upped their game.

And then they took COVID time, eh, where no one was allowed to go in there to juge up their seats. Yeah. Yeah. Give me a bit more of a recline, though. Just give me room. I want a big fatty seat, like a big, nice, spacious seat. Well, a lot of them are now. Yeah, yeah, I love it.

Beth said kill Bill. She left in the first few minutes at Brokeman and I thought I can't sit through three hours of this. No, that was in the opening scene of Kill Bill. She gets killed.

Oh no, that's the top of Kill Bill Volume 2. Yeah. Great movie. Oh my God, I love those movies. Maybe she's got swordophobia. Maybe she does. Swordophobia.

Yeah. From swords. Oh my God, the phobia of swords. Oh my God, Boo. No, no, I don't think Swordophobia. Yeah. From swords. Oh, my God. The phobia of swords. Oh, my God. Boo. No, no, I don't think that's quite right. God, this dumb, dumb, dumb guy.

Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Okay, I'm learning this is season two. I didn't see season one of the restaurant that makes mistakes. You guys hear about this TV show? I've heard about it, yeah. It's a New Zealand show. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't see season one of the restaurant that makes mistakes. You guys hear about this TV show? I've heard about it, yeah. It's a New Zealand show.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a local New Zealand show. It is filmed in Ben Bailey's restaurant. I knew it was too. I said to shut up. I was like, that's Ben Bailey's restaurant. She's like, no, it's not.

She was wrong. She was so wrong. Shockingly, she's dumber than you are. So wrong. And Ben Bailey's on it, so that was my clue that it was his restaurant. Yeah. What a champion.

The clues were there. What a great guy. We've met him a few times. He's a hell of a fella. And so the show is staffed. It's not like a full-time restaurant. Last night, their friends and family went next. I think every time it's like invited guests. It hasn't yet been open to the public.

It may yet be, as we are one episode into the second season of it. But it's staffed by people with early onset dementia and Alzheimer's and someone's on there with Parkinson's. It was one of those ones where you're just like, Jesus. It's full on.

It's, yeah. It's full noise. That would be confronting for a lot of people too, wouldn't it? I think my mum used to work with someone that was on there. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, because in the minute the word Morrinsville's on a TV show, everyone's like, hey! Oh, everyone's tuning in.

Who's that guy? Who's there? Susan's on TV. Susan! But yeah, it was one of those ones where I was watching and I was like, far out, like. But like, okay, so I'm not trying to be funny, but do they like forget the orders?

Yeah, everything. But it's also, it, but do they forget the orders? Yeah. But it's a really good insight into the different types. I thought dementia was dementia. There's like multiple types of it. Like one woman knows her problem is connecting words to pictures and being

able to say it. Like she was going through and what's that? And she was looking at a picture of a kangaroo and she's like, I know what that is. That is a... And thought about it by age and then eventually she said, kangaroo, kangaroo. She's like, it was there the whole time. Yeah, right. It was there the whole time.

Wait, so they're serving kangaroo? No, no, no, no. This was just when you were meeting the people that were on there. They weren't serving kangaroo. I've been in kangaroo. It's quite yum. It's very lean. Yeah, lean and gamey. It's like a kangaroo. Where was I? I've eaten kangaroo. It's quite yum. Yeah. It's very lean. Yeah, lean and gamey. It's like a big rabbit. Where was I?

I was flying back from somewhere. I guess it was Dunedin. And there were some Americans on the flight. And then I heard them say something like, God, I'm bloody starving. You probably, oh, no, they weren't. That's an Australian accent. Like, oh, God, I'm so hungry. We'll probably only be able to get a kangaroo or something.

I was like, oh no, you're in the wrong country. You don't even know where you are. Like, they were talking about they landed in New Zealand and now they're going to have some kangaroo. Anyway, sidebar. Sidebar, yeah. Fools. But it was just really, it was an eye-opening show.

I love shows like this where I don't know a lot about a thing. Did you cry? Nah. No, no, I didn't. But lot about a thing. Did you cry? Nah. No, no, I didn't. But it was like when I was older, I think I probably could in a future episode. Yeah, right. I think I definitely could. But it's like, I think it's important to watch shows like this.

Like old folks home for four-year-olds. Oh, my. Now, that was tears every time. But there was the other show that was, I think it's finished now, but the four young fellows with different disabilities all moved into the same house on like

oh yeah yeah yeah and it's just so fascinating it's like you know you get to watch from a position of privilege where you're not personally affected by that

but it's important to know that people are well my dad's got early onset Alzheimer's yeah I was one room I don't want to like bring it up

because it's you know your thing but yeah well it's six feet now but I was wondering, I don't want to like bring it up because it's, you know, your thing, but. Yeah, well, it's six feet now. But I was like, you should watch it for, I don't know. I don't know that I could.

I know it'd be a hard watch for you because you are personally affected by it. Yeah, yeah. I don't know that I could. With your dad, but it's, it's also like, it was good to be like, it doesn't mean, it's not a death sentence. No, God, no.

It's not, it's not like life's, oh, you've been given this, you're done. I think that's the thing as well as like what I've been learning in therapy, what I've been learning, is they're still there. Like that's the thing. Like things change. Like language goes or like memory goes and stuff, but they don't. Like they're still in there.

They're still there for a very, very, very long time. Yeah. Yeah. It was a very interesting watch. What's it on? TVNZ? TVNZ. very interesting watch. What's it on? TVNZ 2. One. What's it called?

The restaurant that makes mistakes. What a great one. So we can't go to this restaurant. I think the filming's done. And they're only

working there for Look at me just trying to get an opportunity to get on TV again. Play ZM's flesh one in Hayley. Do you reckon X-Files will be a good watch again? Yeah.

I never watched it. Yeah. Do you reckon it's ready? Like it's ready? We're ready to go back? I've been thinking about it. How many episodes? I've also... I don't know how many episodes of X-Files.

It's crazy watching TV shows like that we watched ages ago get a resurgence. Like Prison Break is in the top 10 on Netflix at the moment. Yeah, and so is Lost. And you're like, what are you doing? Yeah, and I kind of

want to tell people, hey, Lost, don't bother with the last season. Hey. No, because it needed some form of an ending. Yeah, at least it was

some form. I think the first season of Lost was brilliant. And the first season of Prison Break. It was 2004. It was a fantastic year for form. I think the first season of Lost was brilliant. And like the first season of Prison Break. It was 2004. It was a fantastic year for television. I started watching Prison Break recently because I realised it was quite hot.

Quite sexy. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, he's quite hot. But then the first season was perfect. And then it gets ridiculous. Oh, does it? How many episodes of X-Files do you think there were?

It would be one of those ones where it's like five and you think that there was five seasons. Like Mr Bean. Yeah. One season or something. 218. Bean. Yeah. One season or something. 218. Oh, shit. Oh, my God. Okay.

It's at 8.6 out of 10 on IMDb. Yeah. And over 11 seasons. So it was one of those shows where they were rocking like 20 episodes most seasons. Yeah, man. Gillian Anderson. 74% and 8.6 on IMDb, 74% on Rotten Tomato for the entire thing.

Yeah. That's a big re-waste. That's a big bite, 74% on Rotten Tomato for the entire thing. That's a big, that's a big bite though. Yeah, that's big. I like that though. Well, I'm not here to talk about old TV shows, but now I'm excited and I wish we could keep talking about this. But it is Halean news because apparently we, as a human race, are mere weeks away Oh, of alien life being published by not one, nay two different areas of research. So there's American researchers

through a foundation called Something Listening or something like that. Okay. Breakthrough Listen. And they're the people that analyse signals that we get from space. Oh, yeah. Try to work out what they are.

Is this just space noise? Is this a satellite from this thing? Or is it aliens? And then there is a professor. His name is Simon Holland. He's an academic. So, you know, we're not going to question that. No.

He has worked directly alongside NASA and the BBC. He likes to publish his findings. He's the one who's going, okay, we are weeks away from proof. Really? That these signals are extraterrestrial. They're going to come out and they're like, we've heard a garbled transmission. It was like, aliens.

No, that does sound like aliens that does sound like aliens that sounds like aliens it'll just be something like and it'll make one noise yeah aliens it's aliens well apparently you know how there's always been races

in space research like a race to the moon or a race to this, a race to Mars, America is racing with China, who themselves have been analysing this data and are like, we, you're months away, we are weeks away from analysing this to the point of being able to prove

it really felt like you were doing the accent there. It really, yeah, yeah, yeah. We, when you went we, and I was like, she's going to do a Chinese accent. It's a bold move. It's? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wee, when you went wee. And I was like, she's going to do a Chinese accent. That's a bold move. 6.47 on a Tuesday. That's a bold move.

You think I'm just rocking out a Chinese accent? And then you did it and then it felt like you were slipping back into it. Yeah, it did. It really did. Wow.

Oh no, that was not my intention. Yeah. Do you want me to? Mm-hmm. Mm. I'm scared. I'm allowed. Well.

You've heard it off ear. It's fantastic. Undeniable. This've heard it off ear. It's fantastic. Undeniably. It's weeks away. Interesting. We are weeks away. Mark my words. You can come back to me in weeks.

And you know what? In weeks, so weeks I would say it has to be three. Okay. Because if it's four weeks, that's month. Okay. It's just another segment of Haley and News

with no actual proof. There's proof, man. There is. Signals and all sorts happening. We are weeks away from proof of alien life. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah.

This is the Top Six. Guys, I've got a Vicks stick. Yeah, dude, I'm so jealous. I don't even have a block nose, but I love a half on a Vicks stick. And I got some Vicks Vapor Rub and I was getting Aaron to rub it into my chest. Did you rub it on your feet? No. It rules.

When you get a cold, put it on your feet before you go to bed. Okay. I don't know why. Your sheets are going to be a mess. Yeah, I've got fresh sheets on the bed. I did a Monday fresh sheet. Weird. Weird day for fresh sheets.

We brought the new bed in. Oh, you're right. You know, we brought our bed back in. So then I had to put fresh sheets. Anyway. Oh day for fresh sheets. We brought the new bed in. Oh, yeah, right. You know, we brought our bed back in so then I had to put fresh sheets. Oh, you're lovely. If you're wondering why I've got a tampon up my nose, I don't. It's a big stick. Today on the Top 6, we're talking about

the cosmetic procedure of having freckles tattooed on your face. Yeah, rise in this. The rise in it, yeah. But the photos I've seen, it looks obvious that they've been tattooed on. Yeah. Very much so. They're not, yeah. Fre the photos I've seen, it looks obvious that they've been tattooed on. Yeah. Very much so. They're not, yeah. Freckles are cute though, eh?

Thanks. God, yeah. Freckles are so cute. Though, yeah. Back in the 90s, it was like you didn't want freckles. I didn't have freckles and my best friend had freckles. She wanted my face and now I want hers. You want her freckles.

Yeah. When you're a kid, why do your freckles and my best friend had freckles. She wanted my face and now I want hers. You want her freckles. Yeah. When you're a kid, why do your freckles look more prominent? Why does that happen? And then when you grow up, they fade a bit. Yeah. It's a bit sad. Probably because you get weathered and tired of it. The wrinkles take over. The dullness of life. And the skin all sags down.

Life's not as much. And then you wake up every morning with a sore back. Life sucks your freckles away. Yeah, and then you realise you're over halfway. I'm not halfway. Are you where you thought you'd be? Yeah. Maybe not. I'm further than I thought I'd ever be.

Well, I'm not using you as an example. I'm just sitting here, young with a Vic stick. What more could I want in life? I do not know. Hanging out with my two mates. Yeah. That's good. Giving away Taylor Swift trips.

Good fun. This is the life. Just had a nut bar. I own a tattoo parl mates. Yeah. That's good. Giving away Taylor Swift trips. Good fun. This is the life. Just had a nut bar. I own a tattoo parlor. Okay. And it is a tattoo parlor. Okay. Yeah.

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. I could actually go a breakfast sushi. Yeah. That's just the thought that popped into my mind. We quite often do a post-show breakfast sushi. We do. Yeah.

And people always see us walking past with sushi trays at like 9am. And they arrive to work. What the hell are you doing? You're like, we've been here for hours. Anyway, there was a video that was very interesting. It was a content creator was asking women the first thing that they notice about men when they first meet them or lock eyes with them.

Is this like romantically? Romantically, if they were like, what am I having a look at here? What were the first things you noticed about Vaughn and I when you met us? Like, was it our good looks? Well, you were both in grey track pants. You gotcha.

So, you know. Okay. It was hard to notice anything else. Yeah, right. Up here, up here. Yeah, I know. And you were like, oh my God. And I said, up here, up here.

Yeah, my eyes are up here, my eyes are up here. And I was like, well, something else isn't. Okay. Anyway, so yeah, you asked. That's what I noticed first. Yeah, okay. No, I literally couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell you.

Okay. I was actually looking at a photo yesterday. I was trying to find a photo of something of me, baby Hayley and baby Vaughan doing our first photo shoot together for Have You Been Paying Attention? I was like, we just didn't know each other. No. And God, we were younger and slimmer.

Me more than you. You're alright. You've kept it steady. Anyway, I'm digressing. I'd step to the sidebar without permission. Anyway, in this video the one thing that they all kind of agreed on everyone had their different points that they looked at, irons and this and that and fashion and da da da, was smell.

Really? The smell of a man. Like whether they smell good and if they smelt good, was smell. Really? The smell of a man. Like whether they smell good. And if they smelled good, they were like instantly intrigued. Mine with Aaron, I will literally never forget the moment. I was at drama school and we had this thing called Koiwi where the whole school gets together Mondays and Fridays. Yeah. Now some people like to call it school assembly.

Yeah. We rejected that as a concept. But I was sitting there on a Friday morning and Aaron walked in and he had to duck through the doorway. And I was like, mine. Like at the moment I saw that he was so tall he had to duck through the doorway. I was like, that's...

You were like, I want a tall man. That's a piece of me. So it wasn't his smell or what he was wearing. It wasn't his smell, it was his height. His height, wow. His height was the thing Okay That I noticed first And I thought we could get some calls and messages in

On the first thing that you noticed about your partner Oh, okay, this will be cute It could be cute, but also it could be something terrible It could be bad, yeah Yeah, maybe it was like they had a big boogie hanging out there Or I noticed that they were terribly dressed Yeah, yeah, yeah And you might have made them over.

Yeah, you can go in your head like, I'll fix that. But otherwise, hot. I love a Renault. You know me, I love a Renault. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get it down to bare bones. Yeah, I love to shake up an old villa. Yeah. But the first thing, regardless of gender or whatever, the first thing you noticed about your partner, what was it that made you go? Vaughan?

When you saw Sade at the Outback, what was it? Free export? Giveaways. She was an export gold girl. Vaughn's like, okay, there's a free export. I don't know. The face? Very nice face. Very nice face. Very nice face.

Very nice face. Probably her ethnic ambiguity. Yeah. What's that? What are we doing? Challenge Accept it What have we got here?

This is a no fun zone now. No, I said great things are brewing on the go and you laughed all over me. I do apologise. I just read a very funny text message. I think you need to apologise to McDonald's. I apologise to the show sponsor, McCafe, for laughing all over them. We are talking about the first thing that you noticed about your partner.

Yeah, there was a video online and they were asking women what they first noticed about men when they first ever see them and smell was a big thing. Someone actually messaged in flesh, flesh,

flesh. That really got, you're going to make Hayley cough. Don't I can't, I'm on the brink. Long time podcast listener, first time texter. Is that a bell?

I've used it every now and then as well when I stay at Fletcher's. Yeah, it's good. So we want to know what you first noticed about your partner. Jessica, what is the first thing you noticed? So it was a, maybe just for your Tinder hookup, but when he turned up, he took his coat off,

put it on the coat rack and his shoes on the shoe rack. Oh, okay. You had a gentleman on your hands. So you were like, I've got a gentleman on my hands. Wait, hang on. What do you mean he put his shoes on the shoe rack? Did he come to your house? He took his shoes. Yeah, no, he came on my hands. Wait, hang on. What do you mean he put his shoes on the shoe rack? Did he come to your house? Yeah, he came to my house,

like took his shoes off and put them on the rack. Wait, this is the first time you've met him or you met, you went out and when you got back to your house, he did that? No, he just turned up at my house. Jessica, Jessica, that's dangerous. Dad mode activated. Jessica. We can't have strange men coming to our house for fornication. Jessica! Jessica, that's dangerous! Dad mode activated. Jessica!

We can't have strange men coming to our house for fornication. You must meet in a public place. Yeah. Even if it's just a pub. Oh, Jessica. Was it good, though? No, look, we're now married and have a son. Like, it went well.

Yeah, it went well. Yeah, but I couldn't. He's not just showing up willy-nilly to girls' houses one day. I don't know. I don't know if I could just put my shoes on the shoe rack. I'd probably leave them beside the shoe rack because the shoe rack's for your shoe. For the house. I'd leave them outside the door. I'd leave them to the side of the door.

Or next to the shoe rack. Someone else just texted, Jessica! Jessica! Jessica! Jessica! Jessica! Oh, dare I say it's not the first time? Jessica!

Jessica! Love that, love that. Thank God she's all shacked up now. Was he, after he put his shoes in the rack, did he put his shoe in your rack, you know what I mean? Jessica! Jessica! Jessica!

Jessica! Did he though? Was it good? Because that's what he came over for. He said he was real. She's still with him. I mean, the answer to your question was... But what if it was a useless shag?

But I mean, looking down the line, she's like, at least he puts his shoes away. He frankly puts his shoes away. The only reason he's taking off his shoes is so he can slip off his pants. Jessica! Hayley! Hayley!

Hayley! Jessica! Jessica, thank you. So the message is in. The first thing you noticed about your partner? His height. I met him when looking for flatmates. I asked him to get in the shower because I thought he might be too tall

to comfortably enjoy the shower. Oh, my God. Jessica! Jessica! Jessica! Jessica! Jessica! I thought my partner had a pretty cute speech impediment, lisp.

Turns out he doesn't. Actually doesn't. So I must have had too many wines, but it got me good. Yeah. Oh, that's so sweet. Maybe he just slurred a word. Just a sweet little lisp. You know, sometimes when you've got a bit of chewing gum or a lolly.

Yeah, get a bit of that. Or maybe he went straight to the date from a dentist appointment. Yeah, had a bit of a numb face. Nah, for me. You, Jessica. I'm just saying everybody's Jessica now. Jessica. His constant resting bitch face.

The man always looks so grumpy and it intrigued me. I said, why is that man so upset all the time? Needless to say, that's how I started a conversation. Are you always grumpy? To which he replied, no, that's just my face. Now we're five years later and he still has that bitchy face. Is that Mike texting in? I was going to say that too. Is that Mike texting in? I was going to say that too.

Is that Mike texting in about Matt? Yeah, because he has a bitchy. But then I have a bitchy, grumpy face. I love it, you do. Matt's face is great because I'll sit beside Matt and people leave us alone because we're a couple of grumpy looking buggers. Exquisite. Yeah.

Resting bitch face. Except when his eyebrows go up. There's nothing resting about that bitch face. Oh, he was the best. Resting bitch face Except when his eyebrows go up There's nothing resting about that bitch face I first met my husband on Bumble And what instantly attracted to me Was a photo of him laughing his hardest That's nice We like that For my partner was the way he smiled with his eyes

He'd mastered it perfectly Go smile with your eyes And not your mouth I'm going to hide my mouth Oh my god Put your mouth. Okay, I'm going to hide my mouth. Oh, my God, Ron. Put your mouth away. No, you look terrible.

Okay, go sleep. That look's going to get you locked up. I don't know how you do it. What do you do? There's a thing to do. You go your eyebrows up and then you smile. Yeah, you raise your eyebrows, smile, and then drop the smile. That's your model face. That's horrible.

Jessica. Jessica. Jessica. Their pale white skin, it was giving Edward from Twilight. First thing I noticed about my husband was his eyes, a light blue centre framed by dark blue on the outer. Very piercing. Stunning. I have blue eyes also, and our kids have the same beautiful eyes.

Goodness me. Jessica. Jessica. Jessica. His eyes are like space. Put them on the shoe rack. Stop looking Goodness me. Jessica. Jessica. Take your shoes off and put them on the shoe rack. Stop looking at me. I met a girl in high school the first time I saw her. She was in her emo era. I'm talking

black hair, black makeup, monster hoodie. Monster hoodie is a monster energy drink. Emos weren't even monster energy drinkers, were they? Unsure. Monster energy and crooked teeth before she got braces. The part I noticed first, and I mean this in the nicest possible way, was her well done eyeliner. Oh wow. The part I noticed first, and I mean this in the nicest possible way, was her well-done eyeliner.

Oh, wow. Wow, okay. A lot of people texting her, and got to be dat, dat dumper. The dumper and about 10 peaches. Someone said, first thing I noticed, met at a club, and it was the booty. The booty, yeah. Which led me to send a message saying, dat ass. Must have worked 10 years.

Booty, booty, booty, booty, rockin' everywhere. Been together 10 years. Married five this year. Now I get to call her my wife. My wife. Her name, it's the same as an iconic German sports car. Volkswagen's a weird name. Hello, Volkswagen.

This is my girlfriend, Volkswagen. My husband's ankle jewellery. And then in brackets, this is what I laughed at at the start. He's now my husband. What first attracted to me was his ankle bracelet. His home detention bracelet. Or had he been to Bali and he had a nice little one of those little jingly bell anklets. It's definitely implied that he was a bad boy.

His teeth, amazingly straight and white. And how well dressed he was. Shirt, nice iron slacks. Considered we met from a Tinder date at McCafe. Our show sponsor, Jessica. Jessica. KPI. KPI.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. You start the day with us in the mornings. Yeah. And then what happens is Georgia comes in. Yeah. Right? And she's on for a bit. Yeah.

And then it's Bree and Clint. That's how the radio works. Yeah. That's how the radio works. Well, Bree's with us in studio now in the breakfast hour. It's obscure. It's weird. Yeah, it feels really strange. Like an alternate universe or something. Thanks for coming in early.

Thanks for having me. What are you doing? Kick around to the afternoons? Yeah, I live here actually. Oh, do you? I sleep under Ross Boss's desk. Oh, wow. It's a hot place. They save a lot on transport costs.

It really does. Brie, Thomasale, you've written a book, which not everyone gets to say. Does that still feel weird? I'm just as shocked as everyone, including you guys. Like I'm just, I had no idea that this would ever be something in my story, in my future. Well, I understand why you think that

because I've thought about it before. I once was sort of talked to, like, would you write a book? And I was like, I don't really have anything to say. I don't really have many life experiences. I don't think that is right. Never genuinely raised in privilege and continue in that way. Yeah, yeah. You could write about that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'd be relatable to a few people. And then so when you look at young, beautiful women such as ourselves, you might think maybe have they had enough life experience to write a memoir of sorts? And then, holy moly, you sure as hell have. Like, unbelievable.

I had no idea that your book was going to be, you know, filled with so much excitement and drama and angst. It's got it all in there. I just, I said, because the publisher chased me for a while and they were like

hey, we think you've got a story to tell and I was like, just to let you know I've never managed to read a book before. Not for everyone, I know that it's Fletch. No, listening to a book is reading a book. It's not reading. Colouring in a book is also reading a book. Yeah, that's right. I have to agree.

I have to agree. So maybe I've read a couple. But I just thought, if I'm going to do this, I need to do it properly and go as deep as possible and go all in. Because you're a funny girl, right? And then people go, okay, is she just going to write the surface level funny book and make us laugh and some giggles? And that's definitely not what this book is.

And now I'm terrified at the thought of everyone reading my dirty laundry. And there's a lot of laundry in there. Yeah. It's everything. Hampers full. It's hampers full of stuff. Like what kind of stuff?

Well, the one thing that I've seen, you know, online, because it's out today, and managed to read myself, is the harrowing thing that happened to you as a child. Yeah, when I was nine years old, me, my mum and my nan were held up in a home invasion where two men stormed into my nan's house and held us all at knife point. And I truly, truly believed I was going to die in that moment. And we could have, all of us could have died in that moment. And there was a certain point where my mum and I were looking at each other over the

table and this one guy threatened to kidnap me and take me with them. And I saw in that moment that my mum would give up her life for me and I think it's quite a good insight as to why my mum and I are so close, you know, and had to be in the book. Is it easier to write that than it is to say it? No. Right. No, I can't even read the chapter because it just takes me back to that moment.

I just had no idea. I've just known you for all these years. I mean, I guess it's not like, hi, nice to meet you. I was... I was like, nice to meet you. But it's just, I guess it's that thing of, like many comedians, the outward bubbly persona, the chatty gal, we're entertaining people,

and then underneath there's just been this thing that I imagine didn't just impact that day, it's impacted your entire life. Absolutely. I feel like it changed my whole life from that day. And anxiety and PTSD and all that fun stuff that comes with it. So fun, yeah. Yeah, I love it. It has affected me from that day throughout my whole life,

which I talk about, obviously, in the book. I'm so shocked at that. What an awful thing. Did they catch the people? Yeah, they did because they were dumb criminals who went home after ransacking my nan's house. It's nothing like the comfort of home after a... Yeah, put your feet up and the comfort's in familiarity.

You want to sit on the couch and, you know, and the police were there waiting for them. So, far out. It was quite crazy. One question we do have about the book is, it's called Unapologetically Me. Yes. And you've crossed out the un in unapologetically.

Yeah. And you've re-put in un. You're the first person, you're the first ones to ask me, what does it mean? What does that means. What does it mean? I think it, to me, it means for many parts and for many years of my life, I'd apologise for who

I was and hide parts of my sexuality and secrets and all that kind of junk. Because you know our show is the chosen radio station for lesbians. Yeah. Of course you are. Of course you are.

But every morning we greet our lesbian listeners almost specifically. Do you actually? We greet everyone but specifically our lesbian listeners. And good morning to them this morning in your BT50s. Yeah, good morning to the community. It's good to have you guys with us. Always. And yes, I've gone back and forth throughout my life being like, I'm going to be myself and live authentically as me.

No, sorry, no, it's a bit much. And they'll be like, actually, sorry, I'm sorry, this is how I am. So it's gone back and forth, hence the title of the book. Right, so it's a time that I've both been unapologetic, apologetic and I'm back to currently being unapologetic. Love that. I get it, I get it now. It might go back.

The second book might be apologetically me. Sorry, again. Again, another cross. Up, up back. The second book might be apologetically me. Sorry. Again, another cross. Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, the whole thing. I also love, so your beautiful partner, Sophia. Yes. She is in the book quite a lot. Has she read it and does she enjoy that or does she struggle with it or is she shy?

You know, like how does she feel about being such a large part of it? Yeah, she hates this kind of stuff. Yeah, right. Yeah, she really isn't a fan and I feel like she lets me write about her or puts up with me in certain aspects because she loves me, hopefully. Well, and the book sales as well. Yeah, we've actually got her on the phone to let you know that she doesn't. Okay. And back to being apologetic.

Sorry, sorry sorry sorry I'm so sorry again I'm so sorry again but no she's been incredible and to be honest I don't know if I would have got to the end of this process

without her so I'm very lucky you're so I mean it's so brave to put it all down on paper and you know reveal that side of yourself when you know

we do turn to people like you to enjoy our day you know and be bright and bubbly all the time, even when it's not convenient for you. As someone who also has anxiety, you're like, okay, well, today I'll just turn that down

because my job is to be entertaining. Yeah, and I think it's really beautiful that people can understand that you can be both things and simultaneously, you know, you don't just switch it off. They're working in relationship with each other. So I think it's beautiful. Thank you so much, Hayley. Spoken from someone who truly understands and gets it.

Well, I don't understand what it's like to have a childhood trauma like that. My anxieties came out of nowhere. Out of privilege. I think my soul was like girl you've been having it too easy let's sprinkle a little bit of

mental health in there you need something you need some sort of struggle to build your character I just worry I really worry about all the people

that might pick up this book that you know know certain things about me and then they'll go oh this is dark where's the fart jokes

I mean there are some funny moments in it too my favourite chapter that I just read before was Lesbian-ish. Yeah, Lesbian-ish. Yeah, which is a great way. We're a lesbian gang.

They're probably listening right now because you are. They will be. They always are in the morning. The number one show for lesbians. In the Mazda BT-50s. Yeah. It's out today,

so you can get the book wherever you get books from. Yes. Book places. Fletch doesn't know. He listens to them. Would you do an audio book of it and read it yourself Yes. Book places. Fletch doesn't know. He listens to them. Would you do an audio book of it and read it yourself? Here's a good moment.

I have done it. Yes. So Fletch can enjoy it. I've always wondered how long it takes to record an audio book. And do you have to like just keep, it must be a mission. It nearly killed me. I'm not going to lie. The poor guy that had to sit with me.

So I sat in this tiny room and record. I reckon it took probably 16 hours. Wow. Think about how long Stephen Fry took to record all the Harry Potter books. Oh, my God. You're right. All those made up words. Yeah.

How do you say that? Yeah. That would have been, yeah. So that's out today as well. Oh, my God. That's amazing. So Fletch, good for you. I can read it.

You can listen to it. It's reading. You won't, but. So Fletch, good for you. I can read it. You know, you can listen to it. It's reading. You won't, but that's good. Yeah, it's good. Unapologetically Me by our very own Brie Thomas-Selt. Thank you, Brie, for coming in and very proud of you, mate.

Yes, I'm so excited. Yeah, okay. There's a slight warble there. Congratulations. Good luck. If you win, you're flying United Airlines, you're flying nonstop from Auckland and Christchurch to the USA, exploring more than 200 destinations across the Americas. Keep listening for those Taylor Swift songs today to go in the draw, Taylor Tuesday.

Okay, I just yawned, I'm so sorry. It's because I stretched my arms and then like a cat, I was like, ah. She's in studio, Shannon is here. She's having a go for arms and then like a cat, I was like, ah. She's in studio. Shannon is here. She's having a go for five stars max for Shannon's hacks. Yes. Why did you feel that this hack you needed to be in studio face to face?

I needed to be close to you because I needed you to see the magic I'm about to show you. Oh, okay. We've got a magician's girlfriend here. Here we go. An official wag. Is this? I don't think we call magicians' girlfriends wags. No, I don't think they have wags.

Yeah. That's more like sports people. Yeah. It's a sport. No, I've got a hack and I wanted to show you in person.

So basically, you know when you've got a group and you're trying to take a big group photo, you use the back camera and you use a self-timer. If you've got no one to take a photo because you need the back camera

because it's way better quality. Yeah, it is. But it's hard because you either got three seconds or 10 seconds and it's kind of awkward to go back and run. You know, you've got to like. Well, I've got a hack for you. Just use your watch. Well, she doesn't have an Apple watch.

Yeah, it must be nice. She's got a Fitbit. Hey, don't laugh. Turn your mic off if you're going to laugh at the Fitbit. It counts her steps. It's not a Gorman. It's a Garmin. No, that's a Garmin.

Garmin is a clothing brand. Garmin is what this trash in the studio next to us wears. She's not listening. She's too busy checking her Garmin stats, Georgia. Found a couple of fish there, have you? Yeah, God, have you found some fish, have you? A couple of holes of golf later on. She knows how far she is from the pin.

Are you flying your Cessna to Raglan? Garmin. She won't even look at us. Garmin banter, banter. We love it. No, but the Apple Watch does have the camera function, so you can stand with the group and then press it. And you can even see what it looks like.

Yeah, it gives you three seconds, gives you a preview. Okay, a hack for those who don't have an Apple Watch. Yeah, that's actually a real privileged position. That's a really privileged stance to have an Apple Watch. Well, so I've got a hack. You go into accessibility and make sure you've got voice control on. You can set up a shortcut

and it's voice commanded. So I've set up the shortcut smile and then created a gesture where you tap. So if I pull up my camera with you guys and I say smile. Hang on, I'm not in the shot. I'm not even in the shot. It's taking photos. Boom.

Wow. This is actually a really good hack. I could put my phone anywhere right now, use frontal back camera, and we could have any group and be like, smile, no matter what we're doing. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Yes. But you being the orator, you're going to be like,

smoo, ah, ooh, in each photo. You can pick any word, but smile's a good one, because you know. Fart. Well, I'm not going to do fart, because then I'll look silly. Cheese. Cheese.

Cheese. Can you set Like a time delay From when you say smile Because that was You want to be able to Have enough time to It felt like it had A little bit of a delay

So you went smile And then went cute I picked it So when you create the gesture You tap it manually So you could Like I set it up To be real fast

It's like I could have it Take a photo Every three seconds or so How far away Does it work from I don't know. Should we test it?

Yep. Well, you put it right in the corner and then yell out smile. Okay, ready? Okay, yep. Okay, put it on the chair. Okay, I'm going to get... Go right back there by the door and yell it out because, you know, we could be doing a big group photo.

Yeah, it's going to go back and you've got a portrait there. Go now. Maybe we can fit in. Smile! Didn't work. Didn't work. Didn't work. And that's how far away you'd be. Smile.

No, you're putting it out too close. It's not working. Smile. Oh. She's literally... Oh, now you're right beside her. You're right beside her. Your arm's length away from her.

Your arm's length away from your phone. I knew it would fall over. I knew it would fall over. I knew the hat seemed too good and it was going to be horrendously far. I was about to say far and then, but it still worked. God, it did. If you don't have an Apple Watch and you want to be about a metre away from your phone, I have a hat for you.

So if you don't have Apple Watch and the main reason you don't have Apple Watch is you don't have arms. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then this is one for you. So if you don't have Apple Watch, and the main reason you don't have Apple Watch is you don't have arms. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then this is one for you. Yeah, yeah. But then, to be honest, it has a timer anyway of 10 seconds, so you can just run.

You can get your friends. You can get further away from the camera with your friends and get time to set up. But you don't know when the photo's going to take because the issue is it flashes. Yeah, it flashes. It flashes. No, but if you back camera,

because back camera's better quality. No, the back camera flashes. The flash goes, and it goes, and then it just nodded at me so sadly. I was so confident in the hand. I was with you, Shannon. I was with you, and then Vaughn started picking holes in it, and he's right.

It doesn't work. It went from, I'm going to say a four-star hack to a two. I was about to hit a four. It's gone to it. I was going to give her a four if that had worked. And I was about to start putting the function on my phone and be like, I love this. I will say what I did see is a mum using it with a young child and

she said that was really helpful to get the kids' attention to the phone. Also, what if Hayley set this up and it's on her phone and then someone in the changing rooms at Les Mills is like, you've got a lovely smile. It's like, cha-ching. And then I'm like, oh my god, don't, hey, I hope that doesn't upload to Facebook. And then Siri's like, cha-ching. And then I'm like, oh my god, don't, hey, I hope that doesn't upload to Facebook. And then Siri's

like, uploading to Facebook. And I'm like, oh my god, now there's a picture of my post-gym baps. This has gone down to a one hack for me, actually. A one star. One star. I mean, I'll take the glory of the start of the hack. Yeah, the start was great, Shannon.

How many stars are you giving Shannon? It's two. One and a half. Let's be honest. Yeah. Okay, so we'll round it to two to be generous. Round it to two to be generous because it started with a hiss and a roar. Play Zed Eames, Fleshborn and Hayley.

I am being bullied into going as Chapel Rowan to the Halloween party this weekend. I think from my wardrobe alone, I reckon I could rustle you up something. I just don't want to be in a wig or a ginger wig. Yeah. I don't know. Everyone wants it, though. Yeah, everybody wants it. It will be hot.

You've got a great set of pins on you for a miniskirt. Hairy pins, though. Yeah, but put some fishnets on them. You won't be able to see. I'll give you a pair of marching tights. Oh, no. They're the bronze ones That Sabrina Carpenter wears With fishnets on top

Is there a no photos ban At this Halloween party again this year? Like there was last year For very good reason I don't know I hope so I think that should go without saying Anyway

There was a woman who shared an experience online Where she received a text message from a gentleman that said, hi Kristen. The unknown number. Okay. There's your name. Hi Kristen. My name's Nate. I saw you and I thought you were so beautiful that I had to find

a way to talk to you. And I saw your number on your luggage tag so I decided to text you. I promise it's not as weird as it seems. What number on the luggage? When do the luggage tags have numbers? I saw it at the airport. I've got my number and address and everything on my luggage tag. Yeah, no, sorry.

I was just thinking of those things. They print you out. No, no, no. Your personal bag tag, which I don't have one. Oh, that's yucky. I do. I mean, because my bag's been lost a couple of times, and it comes in handy.

I mean, it's all on that code on your tag. It's all on the code, yeah. But, like, if you were at the airport, and because people have, most people are saying this is creepy, right? Yeah, and she's also like, I don't know. This feels like an invasion of my privacy. That's not why my number's there.

Like she was at the airport. Her bag was at the airport. You were at the airport. Yeah. You had enough time, if you had time, to take a photo or remember her number to go and shoot your shot with her in person. Exactly. You should have gone up and said, look, this may be quite forward,

but you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, and I would love to get your number. And then she has the chance to say, sure, here it is. Or no thanks. Or no thanks, I've got a boyfriend or whatever. Whereas out of the blue, it's creepy. It's creepy, right? Yeah, she just feels like it's an invasion of her privacy.

It's made her feel a bit uncomfortable. She's like, it's a bit weirded out. And my address is on there. So now what? If he's looked at my phone number, is he going to look at my... Because he would have just taken a photo of it, right? You'd imagine so, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But then some women are like, well, I'd actually like that. Like, it doesn't bother me. I know. I mean, I'd actually like that. Like, it doesn't bother me. I know. I mean, I would be flattered. Yeah, there's a flattered element to it, right? There is. Well, you'd want to know, like, is he hot? I know.

That's the thing she said. I didn't actually see anyone there. I didn't notice anyone look at me. So I don't even have a chance to be like, are you like a real weirdo? Yeah. Or am I like, hi. Is this the first episode of a Netflix crime special? Yeah. Like, what's going on here? Yeah. Or am I like, hi. Is this the first episode of a Netflix crime special? Yeah. Like,

what's going on here? Exactly. But I mean, I don't know. Conflicting. It's a little bit of invasion of privacy. This is what I would like to know this morning. From our lovely listeners. Okay. How did someone contact you?

Like, because sometimes maybe they saw your number, like in this instance, they saw your number printed somewhere in public. You know, sometimes when you like sign in somewhere, you could check into a hotel

or something. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The hotel staff has your number. But then again, like if you check in or you swipe into a gym or wherever and then someone goes

into the system and messages you and says, you're hot. How's about a date? Like that's. Yeah. I feel like we all know that's bad, right?

I know. Someone has a good point here on the text machine. If it was a dude in a book written for women by a woman, this would be hot. That's a great point. Huh. That's a great point. But this is the whole thing about these romantic books, these little smutty books is that's not, it's not great point. Huh. That's a great point. But this is the whole thing about these romantic-y books,

these little smutty books, is it's not real life. And that's the safety behind the page. Producer Girlies, do we think creepy? Or would you be flattered by a message out of the blue? No, so creepy. Yeah. So creepy. Georgia, with your garment, which you can't hear,

would you be flattered if a guy just messaged you out of the blue? Have I what? Sorry? Would you be flattered if a guy just messaged you out of the blue after he saw your phone number somewhere? Depends if he's hot. Exactly. Engaged girly, but yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. You wouldn't find it creepy at all. He just found your number on your luggage tag at the airport. Well. Is he hot? Okay. Okay. You wouldn't find it creepy at all. He just found your number on your luggage tag at the airport. Is he hot? Okay. Can we stalk his number to see if it goes back to find a Facebook account? Well, back in the day you could.

You could, but you can't anymore. You have to go off a number. The text machine is already popping off. Okay, great. This is what we want to know this morning. 0800 DALS at M. You can text through 9696. I originally was going to say, how did someone find you?

But that feels a bit creepy. How did someone get in contact with you? Far apart. Okay. Here we go. Buckle in. We want to know how somebody found you, got in touch with you, got in contact with you. Because.

Probably in a flirty way. Yeah. Because there is a woman who received a text from a gentleman who saw her phone number on her bag tag at an airport. Yeah. Thought she was beautiful, sent her a message, and she was like, yuck. Did this happen? This wasn't in New Zealand, eh?

Nah. Oh, it was overseas, like America. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. America, America. Man. Just goes to show I've had my baggage tag on for forever. Yeah, but you're a minger.

I haven't got any texts. No, Tech Fancy, now we're offended that this has never happened to us. Be like, do I need to write it bigger across the suitcase? Should I, like, get my number screen printed on my suitcase? Yeah, like the whole leather suitcase. O-2-7. Single.

Da-da-da-da-da. Some of these, someone's trying to send us screenshots. They just said, my screenshots. You can't send screenshots or any multimedia message to our text machine, can you? It's purely text. But just message Vaughan directly, 021. Get your number out. 572644.

No, Vaughan, that's not a real number. Now people are going to text that. Oh, you started this. You're to blame. You did not learn anything. No, you pulled the gun out. I just pulled the trigger. Now we're both getting done for man's worth.

See you in hell. See you in hell. That's like taking the gun producer to court. I'm not part of I just pulled the trigger. Now we're both getting done for manslaughter. See you in hell. That's like taking the gun producer to court. I'm not part of this, by the way. No, you're like America taking the parent of the school shooter to court. Don't text that number. Vaughn's being bloody stupid. No, he's an idiot.

Oh, well. And he'll get another fine from the BSA. It was non-malicious. It was completely random. We're still paying off the last one. It was non-malicious. It was completely random. We're still paying off the last one. It was non-malicious. It was completely random. Somebody said, back in the day of COVID, back in the days of COVID before the QR codes,

when restaurants were open, you had to write down your name and your phone number. Yes. The waiter who served me messaged me after dinner asking to go out on a date. I stupidly said, yes. Turns out he's a complete psycho. And then she's trying to send us this. I need to know what these screenshots say.

Oh, right. Or did it get a bit full on? Yeah. Sounds like it. After it was, hmm. Maybe he got the vaccine because, you know, that made people, what? It was an article in the hearing. Yeah, that made them crazy.

Or autistic. It was either of those. Yeah, it was one of those two, yeah. Or both. Yeah. And 5G receivers. But I remember in the early days of COVID, that was a bit of a thing. And that made me think, well, this isn't a good idea.

Oh, totally. Like leaving your, you know. When you were signing in everywhere. Yeah. You were just leaving your name and phone number. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's not, that's not secure. Especially when you're hot like us.

I mean, you're just opening yourself up. Aren't you? Again, still haven't had a single text from my luggage tag. Deanna, good morning. Good morning. What happened? Did someone track you down? Yeah, so I was a teenager.

I think I must have been 16 or 17. It was one of my first jobs. I worked at like a dry cleaner post office. Let me ask, why is dry cleaning so expensive now? Yeah. Sidebar, sidebar. When I did it, because I'm old now, it wasn't expensive, so I don't have the answers for it.

How does it not get wet? How does it not get wet? I mean, I just don't understand. How does it not get wet? I didn't prepare myself to answer scientific questions. Did you just tip the chemicals down the drain and now you're not allowed to do that anymore? That's why there's been an increase in dry cleaning costs. I don't know. Anyway, Diana,

someone tracked you down. Yeah, so I was 16 or 17 and one of the girls who I worked with was a bit older than me, so I spent in yeah, 16 or 17, and one of the girls who I worked with was a bit older than me, so must have been in her mid-twenties, and her brother, also similar age to her, came in once to the shop and met me. I thought nothing of it,

and then these flowers showed up at my home address, because she had given her brother, gone into the employee records and got my home address to give her brother a teenage girl's home address. Yeah. Oh, no. It was just, and I didn't appreciate it, but I also didn't know how to handle it,

so I just simply ignored that it had happened completely. Yeah. Did he get the message? I never received anything else in my home address. Message received. That's good. Deanna, thank you. So many messages. Where do we even start?

Where do you want to start? I had a client message me from work saying all this weird spiritual BS about how the stars align and it was meant to be. It was so super weird. I left the job and now my new work. I've had to talk to him again, so it's very awkward. Oh, God. I bought some shoes off Trade Me.

They sent a message after I left asking them to go out with me on a date. Not interested. Weird. See, that's so strange. I've had to fire someone for getting a customer's number from the work system and messaging them to try to start a romantic relationship. Yeah, wow. I went to a meditation class and you had to sign in and write your name and number.

When going in, some random guy messaged me after. He got my number off the sign-in sheet. Oh, yeah. I went to a meditation class and you had to sign in and write your name and number. When going in, some random guy messaged me after. He got my number off the sign-in sheet. Oh, yeah, that's creepy. My mate actually met a chick in the club, only knew her first name. Went through hundreds of names on Facebook, found her. They're now married and have two kids. Oh, okay, wow.

Success? But see, that's a little different because they met, right? Yeah. Initially. And then he tracked her down and slid in the DMs. Yeah. I put my name and number in a drawer at an ice cream stand to win free ice creams for a year. Now, what entails free ice creams for a year? Would that be one a day or one a week?

I always think the for a year thing. I once won free petrol for a year. But they just gave me $1,500 credit. That's not going to do anything. Like three months? But that would have been back in the day when petrol was probably half the price it is now. Who'd you win that off? I would have approached them once it was all run out and then been like.

I would have won it off Caltex. Okay. I think I've told this story. The Statue of Limitations passed when my friend Kim worked there and she kept all the receipts that weren't and then I just put my name on them. Anyway. Well, she lives in a different country now. Yeah, good luck.

Good luck tracking her down. Good luck. So I put my name in the drawer for the free ice creams for a year. They say what brand of ice cream? Oh, yeah. Okay, lovely. Lovely ice cream.

Lovely ice cream. I'm not going to say that. Lovely ice cream. Got a call from a guy that was running the stand to say I hadn't won, but I was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. Oh. No one's ever said that to me.

Promise me a lifetime of ice cream if we went on a date. I've entered free ice cream and left my luggage tag on. No one's ever said that to me either. No one has ever called me the most beautiful woman they've ever seen. It's just insane. Surely to someone I'm the most beautiful. Surely.

Anyway, carry on. Keep looking, babe. Someone out there someone I'm the most beautiful. Surely. Anyway, carry on. Keep looking, babe. Someone out there thinks I'm the most beautiful. Yeah. Yeah. Promise me a lifetime of ice cream

before we went on a date. Went on a date. Yep. Where's my ice cream? He was a douchebag. I don't get any ice cream and I'm pretty sure I didn't win the years

worth of ice cream because he took my name out of the drawer because he wanted to keep my number. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. I had someone pop into my DMs who stalked my work's Facebook page

until he found a post I had liked so he could find my Facebook. He was in his 40s with a kid and I was a 20-year-old hospital worker. Was he married? I don't know if he was married. Just had a kid. Yeah, maybe. I cannot believe the amount of texts we're getting. He saw me in a parking lot.

I drive a Mitsubishi Treadia. Oh, wow. A Treadia? Never heard of it. Never. A new one or an old one? Is it ugly? Is it funny?

Hang on. I need to look it up. It's a real ugly Mitsubishi a real ugly old Mitsubishi. Oh, those are classic. I love the classic. This is what people drove when I was in high school because their mums were like, you can have my old car. And it was a Mitsubishi Tredia.

It was like a pull-down V3000 that the New Zealand traffic police used to drive. I love that. So I don't know, maybe it's a new Tredia. But anyway, I drove a Mitsubishi Tredia. He drove around the neighbourhood until he found the driveway where the white Mitsubishi Tredia parked in it. Came and rang the bloody doorbell. What? That's old school, right? That's got to be back in the day.

Yeah, that's got to be back in the day when a Tredia was a great sensible vehicle. Tredia. I pawned my wedding and engagement ring. I had to provide all my details and I'd get calls and texts from someone that worked at the pool. You know they're on the market.

Yeah, nothing screams single like selling off your engagement ring. Pawning them too. Pawning them too. Oh, this one's a long one and I haven't pre-read it. Just get in raw. When I lived in Melbourne, I was waiting to catch a train home. Some random guy came up to me and said, hey, do you have a phone I can use?

And at first I thought he was going to take the phone and run, but there was plenty of people around, so I gave him my phone, and he said, I just need to call my partner to let her know I'm running late and to meet me at the train station. So he proceeded to dial a number, spoke to someone, then gave the phone back. I jumped on the train, went home. By the time I got home, I'd received a phone call from a number,

so I answered it. Long story short, it ended up being the guy who borrowed my phone and called his own number of mine to get my number. What? When we spoke on the phone, he admitted that he found me very attractive and didn't have the courage to say it at the train station. We went on a date. Okay.

Jessica! Jessica! Jessica! What happened? We need a minima. We don't know. Jessica. We need a follow-up.

How did the date go? Give us some more details. Give us more details. Hey, Spain, give us. Also, why did the guy say the lie about having a partner? Like, why not just say something else? That's so off-putting. Yeah.

How was the date? Any other follow-up questions? Was he hot? He must have been hot. Otherwise she wouldn't have done it. Oh yes, she wouldn't have done it. Oh my god, I called 111 to report an accident that happened on the opposite side of the motorway as we drove past. A few hours later I got a

text message from the 111 operator saying I had a nice voice and sounded confident on the phone and did I want to go on a date? Oh my God. I was in the car with my partner

and we laughed our heads off but later I was like, what the hell? Have you ever had a callback from someone at a call centre? I mean, I know you leave your number on your luggage.

I get lots of compliments about my voice saying I've got a great voice for radio. Yeah, but never had a callback. Never had anyone call me back and saying you sound like the most beautiful woman in the world

God if someone could just say it to her to shut her up God well go on That'd be great Go on I'm not going to lie to your face Your ugly face That ugly bloody minga face of yours

I hired a trailer at a petrol station after I returned it an employee texted me to chat To chat Guy saw me at a petrol station. After I returned it, an employee texted me to chat. To chat? Guy saw me at a funeral. Oh, funeral. Jessica. Jessica.

A guy saw me at a funeral. I spoke to his friend, a mutual friend. He spent three weeks asking his friend to introduce him to me. Then he found someone else at his work that knew me. She put in a good word for him. We're now married and been together 10 years. I did not see it coming. I did not see that one coming.

I didn't see a funeral hookup coming. Did we get more details about the... No, not yet. Did you say gizmo details? I said gizmo details. Oh, how was the date and did it go anywhere? Yeah. Or someone's just messaged in you,

the most beautiful woman in the world, Hayley. It's too late. I'm not even looking at that. Don't look at me right now. Do they have a minger phone number it's gonna be minger um oh one of them's one of them's got an old 021 then six digits they were on a plan back in the nice my mum's got one of those my mum's got one of those um hired a car in scotland car hire guy came out with us for the night oh we've got details on the date The date was fantastic

The date was fantastic He turned up in his leathers on a motorbike. Beautiful. Wait, Hayley's done. Jeez. Beautiful dinner. I thought you were going to say something else there. Unfortunately.

Beautiful dinner. Unfortunately, it went no further because I had to head back to New Zealand for an emergency. No. Screw New Zealand. We'll always be here. Turns out he wasn't straight after all. This is a man. Plot twist.

Why assume female? Wait. The person texting him is a man. Wait. A man with another man. A man smooching another man in Melbourne? Unbelievable. Wait.

Confirmed gender. Wait, so am I allowed to scream that in 2024? Confirmed gender. Confirm your gender. I don't know. Sorry, sorry. I got carried away. They had to come back to New Zealand.

For an emergency. Yeah. Turns out he wasn't straight after all. There was no girlfriend. Laugh face, laugh face. Oh, right. Okay, so he said he was calling his girlfriend. He said, I'm calling my girlfriend, but actually,

and this is a man texting in, I've got to call my girlfriend, but actually, I'm gay. This story has, it's not as exciting now that I know it's gays. I'm going to scream back. Yeah, the gays, you're like, God, you guys will do anything. I'm writing back, capital letters confirm gender. And they obviously sleep with each other, right? After the leathers.

You try not to sleep with them. You try not to sleep with them. Are we all imagining the motorcycle leathers to be slightly different now? Yes. Yes. And I'm imagining he had a Pikachu helmet with the ears. He had a Pikachu helmet? No, I'm imagining like the 80s.

Now his motorbike's changed too. Because I imagine him pulling up on a street cruise and now it's a Kawasaki Ninja. No, I'm imagining, you know those old homoerotic drawings of men in leathers and it's got like a deep plunging V and really tight pants. The muscle guys

with the little cap on. Yeah. The little gay cap on. I love it. The little gay with the little cap on. Yeah. Little cap. The little gay cap on. I love it. Little gay cap? That's what they are. Are you telling me you're looking at those leather caps

and saying that they're not little gay caps? I mean, sure. Sure. Okay, fact of the day is... Tight-fitted leathers, Hayley. Confirmed from the man himself. Yeah, he was very good-looking, tall and dark features. I want one.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day is about how many... It's Mount Everest week. Loving it. It's Mount Everest week. Loving it. Did we all know, because Anthony, regular Fact of the Day contributor,

messaged in saying, are you going to cover the story about the people who climb Mount Everest and their poo? Yeah. Do you remember the reading about that? who climb Mount Everest and their poo? Yeah. Do you remember the reading about that? They had to take all their poo off? Yeah. Oh, yeah, obviously.

You don't want to leave turds up sacred Everest. They were pushing in plastic bags and then just leaving them there. Oh, for God's sake. And they were like, someone else will get those, I assume, at some stage. Well, see, and did you know why? Because I was just like, it's gross and it's plastic, right? It's pollution. Yeah.

And the bags were getting just deteriorated by the conditions that open and then the Poozwood Mountain was getting into drinking water. That was the main reason. Oh. Because it flows down into like villages

drinking water and stuff and they were testing it and it had like really high E. coli levels. If we're pooping in bags, right, on the side of a mountain, are we pooping onto the ground

and then picking it up with a bag like a dog? No, I poop straight into the bag. Straight into the bag. Oh, I don't know. How do you align that? How do you know how big it's going to be? I would No, I'd poop straight into the bag. Straight into the bag. Oh, I don't know. How do you align that? How do you know how big it's going to be? I would hold, no, actually,

I'd hold the bag to my anus like it was a balloon to the mouth. Yeah. Because you could be in, like, gusty conditions. It could be minus 20 or something. So you're saying put the bag inside the pants, never drop the pants. No, no, no, no. no, no, no, no. You've got to poop onto the ground and then you've got to pick it up like a dog.

But if you're pooping onto the ground, you've already got your pants down. You might as well just do it into the bag. It was just easier to free fall. You might have a funny tummy. Okay, here we go. Here we go. I've Googled. Thank you.

This is from the BBC. This isn't the fact, by the way. This isn't the, okay. Most climbers and support staff tend to dig a hole, but the higher you go up the mountain, some locations have less snow. Yeah, of course. So you have to go to the toilet in the open.

Very few people bring their excrement back in biodegradable bags when climbing Everest, which can take weeks. There's pictures and stuff of just all these plastic bags up there. You can't dig a hole into this. There's a few here where this is, we must leave our poo. Also, the mountain,

God, the sidebars we are taking here, but the mountain is so busy. You see it now, there's queues. So you're just seeing people taking a dump on the side. Oh, I can't. It's very glamorous for me. I'd clog myself up with those, you know when you go to Bali,

you have those anti-diarrhea pills? Yeah, but then you're carrying that all up the mountain. No, oh, yeah, inside of me. And your guts. Yeah. Imagine trying to get it all out of your mountain. Momodium. No. Oh, yeah, inside of me. And your guts. Yeah. Cramming. Yeah.

Imagine trying to get it all out of your arms. Get that train of when you haven't passed. No. And then, yeah, you just get down to the base camp and just a solid dog roll. Born Alan Smith. It would be. A big luncheon chub.

Yeah, it would be. Plastic wrapped as well. And you'd just be screaming. Oh, you would be. Yeah. You'd have to surgically remove it. Anyway. And you'd have to give it you would be. Yeah. You'd have to surgically remove it. Anyway. And you'd have to give it a name.

You would. You'd have to birth it and name it. Get a birth certificate and everything. Gosh. Get a little christening gown. Yeah. Find a godparent. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Guys, you know, you guys have been my dear friends for years and I have an important question to ask you. Will you be the godparents to my Everest walk? You've got to find a good school to get it enrolled to. You're going to have to move to get into a better zone. You've got to do it basically from birth. You've got to get into a better zone. Oh, well, I want to be double zoned.

You're my beautiful little Everest baby, you know. I'll name it George after George Everest himself who gave his name famously to the mountain even though we've been saying that wrong the whole time. It's not Everest. It's Everest. Everest. Did you know that?

Everest. That's another fact. That's not even today's fact of the day. Right. What is today's fact? Today's fact of the day is how many people by last count have summited Everest. Okay.

Weirdly, we haven't had numbers from the last two seasons. Okay. There have been 11,346 summits of Everest by 6,000 different people. Now, you're doing the maths on that. Wow. A couple of Sherpas doing some doubles there. Well, one Sherpa, Nepalese Sherpa,

who currently holds the record for the most times Everest has been climbed, belongs to Kamirita Sherpapa who has climbed Everest 30 times. Wow. 30? 30 times. They must have a Guinness record or something. Yes, and also I believe holds the record for the fastest ascension of Everest.

They, him, him, she, they. He must have a set of bloody calf muscles on him. Yeah, pins. Good quads too, I reckon. Good quads, him, she, they. He must have a set of bloody calf muscles on him. Yeah, pins. Good quads too, I reckon. Good quads, yeah. Powerful quads. Not a lot. Sinewy. Nothing extra on the bod. Yeah, right. Getting up that mountain that quick. But all of the,

Kenton Coole is the only non-Nepalese person in the top 10 summits of Everest is a British climber and has climbed it 18 times. Good stuff. Yeah.

Do you know how many New Zealanders have climbed it? That'd be a good fact for another day. Mike Roberts and Dean Staples have both done it. Mike Roberts. Oh my God. He is incredible.

Yeah, he's in great shape. He's in great shape. Of course he's climbed Everest We've got quite a few New Zealanders on this list Of people that have climbed it More than once So this whole list Is anyone that's done it

More than once Oh yeah Well our guy did it first I mean that's That's our best climb Marty Schmidt's done it twice Good old Martz Gary Ball

He passed away on the mountain Didn't he Because that was what The TV movie was about. Yeah. That's an intense watch. Gary, he did it twice. I'm just going to scoot right up to the top here to our New Zealanders up the top. Yeah, Dean and Mike did it nine times each.

Look at me talking like they're my best mates. Dean and Mike. Jamie McGinnis has done it six times. Oh, Jamie or Jimmy Boy. So, yeah, really, most people are double dipping on the Everest. So that's why there's the queues at the top because Everest is going back. I've done the Mount four times. I've actually done the Mount only once in my life.

Really? It was tough yakka, man. It's a great summit up there. So today's fact of the day is as of 2022, 11,000 summits of Everest have been accomplished by 6,000 different people. And one dog roll. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Someone did say we forgot to throw a gender reveal party for our Everest dog ride.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Yesterday I was leaving work at a reasonable hour. Most reasonable. Now when we departed, Fletch, you went your way. Yeah. Hayley and I, we caught the lift down I think we said something very silly

when we got to the base and I couldn't remember but I walked to the car laughing I remember that much and then because it's just fun all the time around here

it's not just for on air no no god no it continues off air it's a genuine friendship it's a genuine friendship genuine and it permeates into the radio waves

even when you keep saying it though people don't believe it we're actually going to go out we've decided we're going to go out. We've decided that we're going to go out for breakfast. I want our next lot of billboards to say, Felicia, Ron and Hayley, genuine friendship.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that people think it's not. Because exactly, why do you have to keep stating if it is? Genuinely friends. And then it's us. We've got our arms around each other like that, like big smiles. Hayley came to my house yesterday. Yeah.

How about that? Yeah, genuine friendship. I borrowed the bissel. Yeah. She's bisseling some bits. What did you soil? I got some eggs. We pulled By the way, Shanae does this all the time I sell those eggs at the end of the driveway and people come around and Shanae's like, you want a dozen

eggs? I'm like, hey, here's my pocket money. I'm going to have them for dinner tonight. Yeah, good. No, I haven't soiled anything. We pulled our bed base out of storage. Right. And you know it's been in the garage. So you're going to give it a bissel.

Give it a bissel. Get some dust. Get some dust. So yesterday, leaving work, driving, da-da-da-da-da, and I see a car ahead of me, and I'm like, that looks like Hayley's car. Check the number plate. I'm like, that is Hayley's car.

Flash. Flash car. Flash, man. Holy. Run down Mazda. 2013 Mazda. How did she get ahead of me was the first thing I thought. Lane change.

So I pull up alongside to be like, how did you get ahead of me? I pull up alongside. Her window's up. Yep. And all I hear through it is like. That's not it. That is not it. That's Mufford.

And I'm like, I look at her like, and I wind the window down and she looks across and she winds it down. And I've got it on video. You can hear it for yourself. It's not crude. This is what Instagram has deemed filthy and has taken it down. Now, I did caption it. I did caption it.

Ever pull up alongside your co-worker leaving work and they're listening to porn? Dirty bitch. Well, I was in audio erotic. It was an audio erotica Audio erotic Audio And I was just catching up on a new drop

And this particular Straight in This particular Quinn creator It's not too bad Yeah it's not bad The particular Quinn creator has a very low voice Right And so it was kind of basic

I was rumbling dude Yeah it was rumbling I was like Is this the video you took? Yeah Okay There's nothing inappropriate eh? You're likeumbling. I was like. Is this a video you took? Yeah. Okay. There was something inappropriate. You're like, bye.

And I'm like, dirty bitch. As you leave away. That's all. I think I did an appropriate action with my mouth. Yeah, right. You won't be able to hear that. Okay. Okay, Timmy.

Maybe turn it off. Dude. What the hell? You're like a car away. That's in the next lane. That's the next lane. You can hear that. Okay, Timmy, maybe turn it off. What the hell? You're like a car away. That's in the next lane. That's the next lane. You can hear that. That's over the sound of engines.

That's over the sound of the hustle and bustle of the city. Yeah, well, I was just touching base with the latest quindrop. Don't be touching base while you're driving. I wasn't touching base. I was just having a listen. Yeah. And I didn't think that it was permeating through the walls of the Mazda. Oh, it was really coming through.

Yeah. Because I heard it when I first pulled up. And then I sat on that for a while and I was like, and then I watched it again at night and I showed Sade and she said, that's funny. I said, I'm going to put it on Instagram. So I put it up and I said, if you pull up alongside your co-worker leaving work and they listen to audio

porn, porn, co-worker and friend. I changed the O in porn to an asterisk because it did say to me, there's some words in here that we've had complaints about before. Then I noticed how dirty your car was so I wrote also, dirty bitch and dirty

car. Now I changed the I in bitch to a exclamation point. Yep. And the C got a little thingy on the bottom. Right. Great. So I thought he skirted the rules. Well, he did.

Okay. Anyway, I got a notification this morning that it has been removed because it breaches the guidelines of bullying and stuff. I've been bullied. I've actually been the target of bullying. Why have you? The first time in my life. So did you complain about the post? No and stuff. I've been bullied. I've actually been the target of bullying. Why have you? The first time in my life. So did you complain about the post?

No. No, I only didn't. I didn't see it until you mentioned this this morning. Yeah. And then it was almost too late. Yeah. But it's nice that people are coming to my defence. Well, I don't think...

And saying this feels like bullying. It doesn't say... I think it's... No one's complained because I couldn't see the part where it says someone complained. It just said, we've...

It's like AI has kind of flagged it. We've looked through this and seen these words and probably the accompanying sounds. So they're offended at what you've said about me, not the highly sort of erotic sexualized sounds permeating from my car that I guess now I know everyone hears. Yeah. Yeah, maybe turn the volume down. Yeah.

What's all these bassy boys, you know? Maybe they need to pitch up their voices a bit more. Yeah, they sound a bit more like you two. That'd be erotic to listen to. Yeah, I know. Oh, ah, ah, ah. Oh, I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast, I'll tell you. What?
