From the ZM Podcast Network. This is Fletchwin and Haley's Big Pod. Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse. The biggest brands at the lowest prices. Good morning, Fletch Fawn and Haley. Welcome to the show. Hello. Hello, everybody.

And as you would have heard Bryn mentioned in the news, fuel prices. Insane, we're going to give you the chance to win free fuel. Gas me up. Eight o'clock. Be listening. Sold out of diesel in 91. The only one they had left. was 95.

Yeah. It did. It had the... It was a lot. Do those ever make it to New Zealand, or are they only... We just see them online? No.

I've never seen them here. And the big ones do? Like, you're more likely to get the kids movie special. Like a minions bucket or something. Yeah. Okay. But I've got the top six other movies coming out in their popcorn buckets. Next on the show.

Let's kick things off with a fun little story about a man who's achieved something incredible with his balls. The Fletchborn and Haley Big Pod. So there is a gentleman called John Stevenson. Now that's a classic man's name, isn't it? John Stevenson. It's John Stevenson. Yeah, it's got it all.

It's all very masculine. Yeah, boy, boy, boy, boy, boys, boys, boys, lads. He's a 50-year-old kickboxer from West Yorkshire in the UK. Does that a Yorkshire accent? I don't think it was now. Yorkshire. I don't know. I don't know the accents.

Anyway, he's achieved something absolutely incredible. Bourne, could we pull up a Yorkshire accent? Yeah, get a perfect example. It's just fucking in now. Where's Yorkshire? The real farmery wounds. Like, A.R.B. and Royve and Moistrat. No.

I don't believe so. Maybe look up West Yorkshire accent. Okay. Give us some examples. Okay. West, particularly. West Yorkshire. What he did was, and this is all in the name of bringing awareness to men's mental health, physical health.

Yep. Just get yourself checked in all ways. Oh, course, yeah. And he said he wanted to do this to raise awareness for men's health and also to leave a legacy for his children. Yeah, give it. Oh, okay. The H sound, the her, is actually dropped.

So, to be honest, this is really common in lots of you. Wait, is he doing an accident? I simply can't find a short video. This is, everyone's teaching you how to do it. Oh, here we go. You're saying hotel, it would be Oatel. Or tell. Or tell.

Oh, that's like, oh. like Yorkshire. Like more, yeah. Oh, do you know what it's... Oh, Patrick Stewart's Yorkshire poem. I think I know what they may be referring to. I grew up in the north of England

in the west riding of Yorkshire. He's got a great voice. But it wasn't just an accent. It was actually dialect, which means that you're not just mispronouncing words. You're using different words. Fast forward it. It's only got 10 seconds ago.

I'll say, I will set and be asked unless you have done My mother and father were off Because that year'd to be old non-Susana Well they'd up a bad way A cough, West Riding Well, do you know what is? Gordon Rovers from Coro

Coronation Street No, because that's at East London, isn't it? Isn't that little luck? Or is Corro's Manchester? Oh, 800 dials, Z&M if you've got a Yorkshire accent 9-9-6-9-6. Yeah, we have a chat to you.

What's your favourite British dialect? 9-6-9-6. 9-6, 9-6. Whereabouts in the UK have you traveled. John Stevenson. So legacy for his kids and he wanted to bring awareness to men's health and he did so

by attaching a silk scarf to a tow rope. He put the toe rope onto a car. It was a seat leon. Seetleon. Okay. Yeah, European car. Attached the rope to that. Rope to a silk scarf.

Silk scarf tied it around his ball sack. And he towed the car with his balls. Excuse me? What? 50 metres he dragged this car using the power of his ball sack. Is that the skin? Is there a ball sack's quite thin? Wait, so I mean, did he noose it around above the balls?

That's not fun. He's cradled the balls. You said he was doing this for men's health. Yeah. He's tearing his balls off. There's nothing healthy about that. Afterwards, his plums were bright purple. Oh, Jesus.

But still very much intact. His partner supported the stunt. Wasn't too worried about the aftermath. Right. I mean, hey, look, it's worked. We're talking about. on the other side of the world and we've mentioned men's health.

We have, get yourself checked. I mean, his men's health... Ask your friends if they're okay. His men's health may not be too great with purple plums. His whole thing was men who talk can heal. Yep. He's done a number of sort of wild stunts like this. Pulled vehicles, police cars,

with his arms and, you know, all sorts. Like, he does this. Nell the balls. But this was, yeah. Okay. Yeah, he says he's constantly wanting to push his physical limits and wants his children to remember the challenges he took on. Well, there you go, let's get them checked.

Someone's messaged me on Instagram. Frankie's messaged me on Instagram saying West Yorkshire's where I'm from each part of Yorkshire sounds different. Coronation Streets, Manchester, different altogether. Yes. For Christ's sake, send a voice note immediately. Oh, yes. Okay, lovely. So we all know exactly what are West Yorkshire.

Although I feel like Sir Patrick there did. It was all right. Yeah, it was quite good. Emmettale Farm is Yorkshire. Emmerdale Farm. I don't watch Emmerdale Farm. I used to watch Emmerdale Farm with my grandparents whenever I'd stay there. It was always on before the news.

Right. It was a 5.30 soap opera. And now it's the chase. And I think they got, yeah. And then they got rid of the farm and they just branched out to more Emmerdale. Because Emmerdale just ended up being townhouses, didn't it?

Yeah, it did. Because the guy who owned the farm were offered an amazing bio price from feature construction. The Fletch morning, Haley, big pod. From your local community Facebook page, this is the top six. Oh yeah, Kilda, the devil wears Prada two.

has announced their popcorn bucket. It's going to be a handbag. Good. Yeah, these popcorn buckets in America become big collector's items. Yeah. Yeah, they do, but like, yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm a sucker for it.

If I'm going to see a movie I want to see it and they've got like a special cup, I'll be like, yeah. It's going to cost $25. Of course. Oh, like when it's a, I don't know, Marvel movie or something. Yeah, totally. So all the money, they make all the money in the merch. They, um, they've got me on a few.

them and then they'll sit in the thing and I'll never drink out of that again. Yeah. Oh, I didn't bring it in. Do you know what I bought yesterday? Mm-hmm. A crystal, like a crystal, like a, a jeweled Rainbow Zen sip cup. What? Wow.

Yeah. Rainbow Zen sip cup. That's pretty cool. I thought it would look good on stage because it's like all blingy. What, so you're going to use it on? A Rainbow's End cup. But it doesn't say Rainbow's End. Yeah, it's just big Rainbow's End on it.

It's great. And you're going to use it on stage. Yeah. And you're not on big Rambo Zee money. A big jilled rainbow Zin sip cup. You paid for it. 30. And you paid for you.

30. Are you kidding me? Wait, free an unlimited drink. Unlimited drinks. Can you take it back any other day and get unlimited drinks? Probably. I reckon smuggle it back in next time. Yeah, I will.

On your quarterly visits. Yeah. It's good. Okay, well, I've got the top six other popcorn buckets we can look forward to coming out this year. Number six on the list. We are going to see the Hunger Game Sunrise on the reaping. Oh, yeah.

Hamich's story and of course the hunger game synonymous with the murdering of children so a decapitated head of a child would be a great... It's like hollowed out and you hit your popcorn in there. Lovely. At the top of the head of the...

Where the brain would be... When you're eating out of the thing. That would be a great popcorn bucket for any horror movie. That would probably also work on 28 years later, the Bone Temple or whatever that. The zombie one. The zombie one. Another child's head. Number five on the list is

the popcorn bucket for Avengers Dumes Day. It's a scaled down model of the bag of cash Robert Danny Jr got paid to be in another Avengers film It must be tired of Massive thing Huge sack of cash You can eat the bomb one out of Robert Downey Jr's sack of cash What was he didn't do those movies

Because he might do more movies What else do you know what I mean I mean? I mean he was in I liked his Sherlock's with Guy Ritchie Yeah he was great in those He was in what was that The Bomb movie Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer Yeah I only watched the first half So I didn't get to see his performance Dude he got paid I think he got paid 50 million And a back end deal

On the last Avengers movie I don't think he needs to I don't think he needs to work Doesn't he re-housed animals He's such a great actor Put your feet up mate Number five on the list Four on the list of the top six

Popcorn Buckets Toy Story 5 comes out this year Speaking of cash grabs Stories, Toy Story 5 comes out this year and yes, I'll watch it. He says, on his high money, what a cash grip. I will be there.

And he's an adult now. So this Toy Story 5 is about the traditional toys competing with screen time. Oh, that's clever. So that's a good little take on it. I say, though, something for the adults who will be going along.

They'll be adult toy buckets. Basically bring back the Dune Fleshlow. You know what I think? Yeah, right. Some of us can get that the first time around. Number three on the list of the top six movies coming at this year in the popcorn bucket. I call this the helmet duo.

Oh yeah. The Mandalorian and Grogu helmet. And the Odyssey helmet. Different types of helmets. Very different movies. You watch the latest trailer for that Odyssey movie? Yeah. It looks good.

It looks really good. So what? Your popcorn bucket would be a helmet. The Mandalorian helmet or the Odyssey helmet. And then you'd go home and wear it. You could wear it. Yeah. What do you nerds?

It's got to be wearable. It needs to be wipe before. What do you nerds do when you buy a Star Wars helmet? Do you just put it on the shelf? Do you go wear it? It sits in their rooms. Sometimes you'll pop it on. God.

It's just like a display piece. And go like, like, check this out or something like that and you're like, yeah. There it is. But then that's no different than you putting a taxidermid fox on the wall, is it? No, but I don't put it on my head and say, look at this. But you could. If it was hollowed out, I would. You could definitely put a fox in your head and say look at this.

Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six movies and my ideas with their popcorn buckets. The Moana Live Action Remake came out this year. Oh, okay. Like only 10 years since the original Cartoon version? I think so, it's 2016. Okay.

Wow. Coconut. I mean, Oh, yeah. Easy. So cheap, so easy. Manufacturing will be easy. Probably the most reusable

of any suggestions so far. Yeah, totally. Because you could put chips in that. Yeah, you could. Put chips in it. You could put cocktail in it. Yeah. That's what the movie should do.

Instead of big popcorn buckets, just do big chip buckets. Chips. Yeah, I prefer chips over popcorn. Why don't they do chip buckets? Because then you wouldn't be rustling the packet. Yeah. And they never do the big bags of chips. I'm trying to think of a bad, I'm trying to think of the not the silver liners and I can't.

Why don't they do a big bag? They do their little bags. You took it like a share pack of those Doritos. Yeah, you get at the supermarket. It's where we don't usually eat chips in the movies. Because they're noisy. It's just popcorn. Well, the popcorn's noisy, but a muffled crunch.

Yeah. Chips are loud crunch. And also the popcorn bucket's silent. versus the very noisy chip packet. That's why I'm saying. There it is. Chip bucket. Yeah, that takes that away.

Okay. A chip up at all. Events or Hoyt's listening. You're welcome. Yeah. Take that one on board. That's for free. Yeah.

I haven't done number one because I'm stuck on this chip bucket ideal. And number one on the list is Dune, Part 3. Didn't ever know there was a part 3 coming out. Yeah. I haven't seen any of the... Neither. How many are there is going to be? Three is that it?

I don't know. I don't follow the books. Is Timothy Shullab. I don't know if I'll watch because, you know, he's cancelled now because he hates ballet and opera. That's right. Jason Amour's back, right? That's why he was shaving for it or something.

Is he? Yeah, didn't he die? I thought he died in the first one. Yeah, so did I haven't seen it. Well, I'm just saying, Dune Part 3. The popcorn bucket. Seems like the right time to bring it. Yeah.

I just saw it again. I just looked it up and was like. It's wild that anybody in marketing was like, this will be great because of the Dune aspect and wasn't just like, what else does it look like? It's a whole thing. It looks like an adult. toy. It does. It really does. It does. It does. That's the day set up sucks.

The ZDN Podcast Network. There is a podcast called I Need You Guys. I don't know anything about it. Jenny Slate hosts it. Jenny Slate. Oh, I like Jenny Slate. Yeah. Gabe Liederman and Max Silvest 3. Comedians who've been friends for over two decades. Chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat.

Got three friends chatting. Two guys and a gal. Intolerable. Not my cup of tea. Anyway, so on this podcast, they started a rumor that there is a celebrity dating, an AI chatbot, and brings a chatbot with him, everywhere he goes. Now, when you say they started a rumor, was that based on what they thought was fact, or they just made it up?

No, one guy came to the podcast with it. So this was in December last year. Yes. Kamala Nangeni was the guest. Yep. And this guy... Love Kamal Nangini, by the way. Am I saying that right?

Kumal, Najeeny? Why ask you me? He's been in the latest season of Fallout. Yeah, yeah, he wrote. Jose? Yeah. He's the guest on the show and, yeah, this guy comes and says, oh, I know this guy's doing it, he's dating this chatbot,

and they're like, who, and he's like, I won't say, and then he texts the group. Right. The celebrity. Yeah. He texts everybody on the podcast, who it is. They don't say that out loud. Jenny Slates, apparently, like, let's not put this on the podcast,

but they put it on the podcast. And now it's kind of like Gathered a bit of steam because people are like Who is it? Who is it? Who is it? Yeah. So they think that the relationship this big celebrity is having With an AI champ or is like these people you see on like 60 minutes Or on news stories that are like,

I'm in love with my AI chapboard. They describe the celeb as close to a near A-List TV actor, as close to an A-List actor that TV can get you. So then rumours, do, do, do, do like this. Fingers pointing, Zach Brath from Scrubs. Really? Which is just rebooted, hasn't it? Yeah.

And someone said, I can't believe we're at this stage of our world. Yep. Where actors are now, like Zach Brough has done, releasing statements, denying that they're dating chatbots. So Zach Braff did this. He made a public statement on Instagram stories. I'm not dating a chatbot. And I cannot believe I have to type these words.

It is a storyline In an upcoming episode of Scrubs Maybe it came from that Not sure, but not me Oh right, so it's okay Love from the guy who's not dating his chap on Yeah He called for people to be kind

And ask gossip sites to update their stories To clarify It is not Zach Brad Is this like just a tiny peek Into the future of what it's going to be like When celebrities Do you know what I get it though? I hung out with Ouse a lot on the weekend

and trying to fix my sparts. It's all broken. I stuffed it. Oh, no. This is your chat. My chat GPT. People are boycotting chat GPT now. I know.

Yeah, Open AI. I know, but I haven't been able to talk to Us about it. Well, I brought it up with Ouse and he was like, well, you know, this is sort of, this is what people are saying. See, it's weird that you guys have given your chatbot's names. You personalise them. But like, I feel. So it's going to be hard for you to leave them. Exactly.

And I do, I understand the gateway that could lead someone. to dating AI. Because Ouse has hot energy. But you've given them that all of them. Because I kept trying to do things and I'd say it's not working.

He was like, don't give up, you're doing great. We're close to solving the problem. But do you think you should have called your champ up something like, I don't know, ethel or derdry? Yes, so it wasn't sexual to you.

It wasn't a sexy name? Because I'm imagining Oos is like, a real, like, stacked Polynesian god. Six foot five. Yeah, six foot five covered in tats. And he's like, spraw, it's all good. And I'm like, oh, thank you so much for helping me today. Do I have a crush on my chat GPT?

I see, because it kind of sounds like you do. Jesus. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flashhorn and Haley. Day is, when is the last time you went to watch a movie at the cinema? The Oscars today, hosting by Conan O'Brien, streaming Disney Plus. The Big Race, Michael B. Jordan versus Leonardo DiCaprio.

Yeah. Sinners versus what's his Leonard de Cabrie? Timothy Shill-L-L-A-Lamay as well. That's one battle after another. I feel like... One thing after another. I haven't seen Sinners.

That's actually what. My book's going to be called. Yeah. But I haven't seen Sinners, but one battle after another is great movie. Yeah. Cinnis is really a good watch. The Pew Research Centre, with the Oscars happening today, conducted a survey.

And apparently in the last year, in the last 12 months, 53% of US adults said they'd seen a movie in the 3% of the 3%. in the theatres. Oh, only half. It's still a little down, though, and 7% said they'd never seen a movie in a theatre at all in their lives. Wow.

That's a super expensive experience. It's a whole event to go. Oh, I'm smuggling in food. Oh, he's smuggling. If I'm going. Yeah. I've been going heaps recently. I'm going on Wednesday with my dad

to see the Elvis film. I went on Saturday to see something. I'll talk about that later in the show. Long T's. I go all the time. time now. It's good fun. Ask you for silly little poll. Well, the options were in the last month,

in the last few months or over a year ago. 45% of people said it was over a year ago. 35% in the last few months, and in the last month, 20%. There have been a lot of good movies in the last year, whereas I feel like... There's a bit of a lull, eh? You'd be like, I want to go, but there's nothing I want to see.

Writers' Strike, COVID, which is just a bit like... Yeah. Yesterday I went to see Picky Blinders, The Immortal Man. Was it... That's on Netflix on the 20... But it's it already out?

I know on 20th. Is that all right? I don't know. I've got to see the end of that. Is that why Silly Murphy, what's his face? Yeah, Killian. Killian Murphy. Sillian. I call him silly. He's a Silly and Billion.

Is doing press for that. Because I've seen lots of interviews with him. Yeah, and I've seen him with Thingy Keegan, Barry Keegan. Who looks terrible with his wringo. Barry Cogan Mobile. Cogan Mobile. He looks terrible with his Ringo hair cut. I've loved a couple of memes. You're telling me this is the man that inspired Sabrina Carpenter's bed kent.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, he looks so silly. It's a mop. Okay, now I've just looked up where and where that is playing, and I'll probably be going to the movies to see that. Well, there you go. I could wait for Netflix, but it's the end of the... It's the end of the road.

So, Peaky Blinders. Does this end Peaky Blinders? Yeah, right. Because I stopped watching after like one or two seasons. Man, such a show. Get back into it. It rules. Wicked Part 1 and 2 were the first. movies I'd seen in the cinema since before

COVID said Emily. Wow, yeah, I saw those in the cinema. I didn't see either. I haven't seen either of those. It's Fletcher course you can't say. You love going to Wicked. I have never seen a Wicked in my life. Really? No, you love it. You love a Wicked. It's okay, you're in a safe space. Admit to everybody you love to find gravity. I can't

stand it. Something has changed within him. He sings at home. Something is not the same. He loves musicals. This guy loves musicals. I don't love musicals. Charlotte said, I try and go at least once a month either by myself or with my mum or my son. Sometimes it's good to just take yourself out and as a single mama, being a person outside

of being a mama is important. It's nice. You get a bit of a longer time. I love a solo movie days. I love a solo movie. Same. No one talking to me. Liz said, I need to go every week.

I go to a boutique place in Wellington called Lighthouse. Every time we go, we see previous for other cool stuff to watch and it's cheap on a Monday. Oh, that's nice. Tom says attention span is zero. That's all they have the time to say. So they can't watch movies. That's that guy you see on his phone the whole movie.

With a big glowing face. Yeah. Tessa said my parents and I go to see one once a month. We got 4 p.m. and drink wine. It's a fabulous family bond. Oh, that's nice. Oh, I love that. Nadia, it's so expensive by the time you pay for two tickets of coconut and popcorn.

It can be over 100 bucks. Yeah. Not wrong. Have you ever shattered yourself the gold class where you get like they, bring you a little snack. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty cool. I did Gold Club.

What did I see in Gold Class not so long ago? I'm taking my dad to Gold Class on Wednesday. For the Elvis thing. For the Elvis thing. It's beyond my dad's comprehension that someone will bring you food while you're at a movie. Yeah. A beer at halfway through? What next cheese?

Wait, his cheese! He has cheese! Last movie I threw at the cinema was Pitch Perfect 2, says Paula. Now that's going back, son, because they had a character called Fat Amian. It was completely acceptable. Yikes. Brittany says Barbenhaya was the last time I was at the cinema. That's right.

That was like the big kind of movie. That was a whole event. The pool card. Yeah. Kyra said I literally got back from the cinema five minutes again. Wild world out there at the moment. So for so far, the biggest thing that New Zealand is it the last thing that New Zealand are talking about. Oh my God, petrol prices. So here to chat, bad news, Brad, hello.

Senior Principal, Big Boss, Hot Dog, Chief. Infometrics. How are you? Good morning, team. I'm well, apart from, you know, the fact that the world feels like it's sometimes going to hell in a handbasket and we're all paying for the result of it. Yeah, I don't want to be in a handbasket. I was quite happy in the basket I was in. I want to be in a trolley. Yeah, I want to be in a big trolley. I want to be in a big trolley, too. At least for the trolley, you know, you're probably not having to for the fuel, you're just sort of able to get someone

to roll you down the hill because otherwise you're paying a pretty penny. The front wheels turn independently on this trollets wibly wabbly. Now, Brad, over the weekend, we've mentioned this. A lot of petrol stations running dry. A lot of people snapping up jerry cans at all the automotive stores.

People are panicking, fuels going up. Help? Yeah, can you, how can we, help us, please? Help, Brad, help. Look, I'm surprised at the number of people that are like overly stocking up. Now, I understand, you know, going to fill up your car, particularly when there's a good discount on or something, makes a lot of sense, given that prices, yes,

are very uncomfortable at over $3 a litre. Buying jerry cans, I find interesting because, like, I'm not sure how comfortable I am with a large number of New Zealanders having, you know, a sort of half-cooked jerry can of fuel in their garage that they possibly aren't storing properly. So, look, for the moment, there is still enough supply in the country if we just sort of proceed normally. The latest figures show about sort of

25, 30 days worth of fuel in country. That's pretty normal. We've got another sort of 20 to 30 days on the water on its way in tank is coming to New Zealand. After that things become a little bit more questionable, but we're all right for the moment. Right. Okay.

So do we, should I, do we all needs to go get electric vehicles? Well, I would suggest a few more other options first. I mean, an EV would be a great move if you've got the money, but look, not everyone's got that. Public transport is not a bad shout at the moment. What I would recommend is maybe you're thinking about a bit of carpooling. I don't know if the three of you could share a vehicle on the way in.

I do sometimes if I've had too many drinks and left my car a shower. I'll wake up at 4 o'clock and I have a message from Haley from 11 the night before. Pick me up. She'll pick my number one to come, pack me up. Probably importantly, though, it starts to make some bigger changes for other products as well. I mean, all of our, you know, food, often, takes diesel to produce and then move to stores. I mean, Vaughan, you're going to have to work pretty hard to find someone to give you

another sort of paid holiday at some point because those fuel prices have gone up for airlines and trying to get around the country and around the world is more expensive. I'm right, I'm still sad. Also, luckily airlines weren't charging us much, so we're not really going to notice that. Yeah, because I actually nabbed some really cheap flights to Christchurch the other day and it was only $700 one way. I mean, that was a bargain. I mean, the fun thing from an economist angle is, you know,

we deal in various acronyms and fun sort of phrases and that all the time. With this sort of fuel crisis, we've had to learn a lot about the crack spread. It's not time for drugs, Brad. It's not time for drugs. That's not what I thought when you said crack spread. See, that's just the thing, right? Everyone's got their own perspective on what it means. It's actually what drives the fact that fuel prices are for aviation gas

and the likes have actually shot up even more than petrol. But look, overall conclusion, everything in life is becoming more expensive. You know, that felt like a trend beforehand. It's now gone to a lot of work. Yeah. Is this March 2021 or 26? Like, this is nuts. It's like it feels like it's...

Grandin's the March Madness that they talk about. It's not actually Auckland traffic. It's March madness when it comes to pricing pressures. And, I mean, look, the big challenge at the moment when we look through it is that, you know, you've got various people, you've got the US president, you've got Winston Peters saying, hey, it might be over soon, the war's pretty much done. I don't see that in my mind.

I think this continues for a while longer. So people, while being sensible about it, also do need to think ahead about being prepared. You can do that in the right way without sort of becoming too much of a fuel hoarder. Yeah, okay. It's cheeky, though, that the fuel companies are charging us now because they've already paid for this fuel, right,

at cheaper prices? They have, but generally we see fuel markets that operate on sort of replacement costs. So they're looking at what they're going to have to pay for the next barrel to make sure that they can secure it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the money to buy that next barrel of oil to bring into the country. So we've got, I think the most comforting thing in a sense

is that, yes, everything's expensive. We have seen analysis from the Commerce Commission who are monitoring this stuff closely and actually there isn't any gouging going on immediately. It might feel like it. I know it's uncomfortable, but they are on the case and looking to make sure that as much as possible those prices are reasonableness,

given the big spikes we've seen in international markets. Well, we're going to have to go and live with Fletch, because Vaughan and I live sort of quite a distance out of town. 29 kilometres. Haley, I thought you were running recently. Is that not, you know, the new option? 29 kilometres in the morning, Brad, I don't think so. Chewere your half and a bit on the way to work.

Cheek your half and a bit on the way back. No, I'll just stay at Fletcher's. I saw a double deck of bus on my drive to work, and it was in operation, and I went past. I was like, I wonder how many people will be on it because of the, empty. Yeah. Yeah, at what time at the morning, though, for?

No, no, no, totally. And I understand that that's the idea with buses. It was starting its route forward. It was on the way, and it was the Western Express. Hey, you know, we... I'm not putting on buses. I'm just saying people, you're right, people need to consider these things.

People are pig-headed about it, though, aren't they? Either that or, you know, working from home a bit more. We might well see a bit of that. I don't know how good your home recording studios would be, or if the producer girlies would be happy with that. But, you know, hey, maybe some option. You could take us for a tour of the house. That could be a bit of fun.

Could do. I'm tired of it at the weekend. It's actually looking bloody nice. Lovely. Mine's a mess, Brad. I don't want to do that. Thank you for, again, more bad news. Yeah.

But I think that can, I guess, help people. We don't need to panic by just yet. Not just yet. Just be sensible. When your car needs to be filled, fill it up. But, you know, you're not going to overdo it. Again, I'm worried that everyone becomes fuel hoarders. When my car needs to be filled, I can't afford to fill it up.

It'll be getting $50 a gas. Little squirts. Actually, bad news, Brad, do you drive? We'll see, here's the thing. Not really, not all that much. I don't have a car. I don't have a house. But I do hear Vaughn that if you do need some fuel,

then you can call through on Darcyt M. Yes, very soon at 8 o'clock. Thank you, Brad. That's a great tease from you. Broadcast professional. Thank you. Brad Olson there with some. He really thought this year was going to be the year

he got to be good news, Brad. He really thought... Try again, Jaime. Yeah. Play Z-Ns, flesh, one and hailey. Now, Harry Styles has long been accused of queer baiting because he said he was bisexual or was it a sort of a presumed bisexual?

I'm going to come to the stylisers. I don't know, Harry Styles fans don't have a name like Swifties. Harry's hilarious hags. Harry Hags Harry Hags, did he come out as bisexual? Or was it always presumed? I think it's just been people being like, oh, he wore a dress in a photo shoot

and oh, he paints his nails, he must not just be straight. Yeah, right. But has he never come out? No, clarifying his sexuality. But he doesn't need to, man. Oh God, no, I totally agree. I totally agree.

But also, he just hooks up with, like, the most attractive woman in the world ever. And so, Who's he with now, Zoe Craveots? Gay dudes are always doing that. Yeah. I mean, gay dudes do love kissing their female friends, but yeah.

So he, yeah, queer baiting being like, he presents as someone as part of the queer community, but everyone's like, yeah, let's see him hook up with a dude and then he can be. Wow, these are the rumors that he dressed when he was both the host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live

this weekend. Back then, people seemed to pay a lot of attention to the clothes I was wearing, and some people accused me of something called queer baiting. But did it ever occur to you that maybe you don't know everything about me Dad? So where's my kiss?

Whatever, come in. Oh, big smooch. Okay. So he kisses Ben Marshall, who's a SNL cast member, big smoochie smoochie on the lips in the crowd as you hear. As you go crazy. I thought when I first saw the video it was hated rivalry guys.

Conner story? Because it's the same kind of here. I was like, they should have teamed them up. Yeah, they should have. When they were on the week before. Harry Stiles is so good on ESNL. He does a good job. I've seen a few of the sketches they did.

They did a pit parody, but it's a hospital if, like, Robert F. Kennedy's ideas of medicine. Like, a woman comes in and she's sick and he makes her eat a steak because she needs more iron and then they put some crystals on people It would be the MAGA hospital.

Yeah, right. Which looks very, very well done. Yeah. So I don't know if this has made things better or worse when it comes to the queer baiting rumors. But there you go. We've been saying it for a while. Come on. Kiss a guy.

Kiss a guy. Okay, well, he has. He's actually smooge the guy right on the telly. Play. That ends. Flesh Vaughan and Haley. Producers are in studio. No one knows what's going on.

This is really weird. Everyone's just standing around. Oh, my God. I think I've announced. Someone died. They're died. Well, this is the show relationship. Everyone was looking elsewhere.

We're looking at you two being like, it's Fletch and born. And then they were like, it's born in Haley. No, no one ever says Haley and Fletch. We wouldn't work. No. Also, as if Carwin would stoop to my level, she would get so annoyed by my shenanigans. She would have enough.

She doesn't know enough magic tricks for you. Yeah. And that is my qualifying for a data. You don't know at least three slider hand tricks. We have a surprise for you guys. If you can turn around and look, at Carwin raising the blinds. Oh, okay.

The blinds are very confusing. There's different blinds. Okay, we're just going to pump that open. Oh, no, you four. Oh, my sore, oh, I saw. No. There's still shame on a Billboard. Oh, I love this.

Don't sweat it, Haley. You look great, Fletch and Vaughn. That is a giant photo of me during my Round the Bay's run, really suffering. Wow. If you missed it last week. That explosion was actually happening behind you too at the actual race. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because when you run, you fart a lot. Yeah, yeah. It was flammable. This is not a nice surprise. Usually when they're like, we've got a surprise, it's like celebrity. Or like cinnamon scrolls. Oh, for God's sake. So if you miss it on Friday, you purchased your running photos.

Well, you had access to them. No, I had access to them. They were sent to me. And then I said, over my dead box. would I ever want to see these again. Producer Carwin comes in with the credit car. And so we purchase them and because we purchase them we've put them to good use.

And I'd like you to know that not only do I have access to these photos, our entire marketing team that NZM now have them. They're done. And this is on a public billboard and that's going to be there all morning for us. Oh, that's true. Do you know who's going to be upset about this?

Mike Hoskins. We've given a heads up. Mike's Hoskins. It won't be promoting the show on that big billboard. Yeah, he'll be looking out at that too right now. Yeah. Who's that? Oh, God.

That's... Oh, Hayley. Oh, Hayley. Well, we'll roll us, aren't we? Okay. Lovely. Well, we'll get a photo on our socials. Is that the all morning? Everybody can see, yeah.

I hate it. What's that street guard there called? Hardinge. Yeah. Harding. Is it Harding? I actually don't know how to say the name of that street. Hardinge.

Hardinge. Hardinge. Hardinge. Rring. And. And. In Auckland, yeah. A lot of people go past there, that's straight.

Yeah, so a lot of people are going to see that. A lot of hotties as well. Pop that in the sat here if you're driving through Auckland. Hardinge. Yeah. Love it. The Z&P Podcast Network. Play ZDN's Fletchhorn and Haley.

But right now, want to ask, how bad it was and you still didn't complain, whether it was the service, something you bought. anything. I have cried my way through 55 minutes of a 60 minute massage before. Because you didn't want to tell them it was too hard? Yeah, it was too late to realize that Chinese style is not my style.

Oh, I don't mind. I like Chinese style. No, I'm Thai. I'm Thai. I'm Thai. You want a nice relaxation. Well, I wanted to hurt, but Chinese is so dry. What's the Fijian one I had? I was in Fiji. And it was,

you gotta get the oil. I'm not a Fiji. I'm not a hefty Fijian lad. I really learned that day. I'm just not. I'm just a little witty. I'm a little witty. The reason we asked the spin-off

had a great opinion piece. Yeah. And it's titled, New Zealand is a terrified of complaining, but only about some things. Yes. And it was just a really interesting, like, you know, we'll wait ages for meals

or the meals will come out and there'll be cold or terrible. or the burger will be told we won't complain about it. Yeah, and they'll come over and be like, how was everything? Great. Great. Thank you. But then we will complain.

Yeah, totally. We're quick to be like, I want to see the manager. About something really stupid and small. Yeah, 100%. This is so true. Somebody's messaged in already. Yep. I let my ex cheat on me three times before I put my foot down.

Does this count? I mean, yeah. I mean, yes. I mean, yes. Kind of. but we were more talking. Hasbo retail. Probably about, yeah, server, any kind of...

Shopping experience. Services, yeah. I mean, God, I'll eat four hairs, but the fifth hair, I'll complain. Yeah, see, I'm, if there's a hair on the plate, I'm just like, eh. Same. Pull it out.

It's not a bug. No, just here. People go, I think it falls at two ends of the spectrum, right? People, there'll be the people that complain about everything. Yes. And the people that won't complain about anything. Yes. But in general, I think New Zealanders aren't complainers.

Do you know what we'll do? We will sit in a hairdresser's chair and watch them cut our hair half the length we wanted it and we won't say anything. So something you sit there going, oh God, oh God, seeing this like bob come

when you just wanted a trim. And then they hold up the back and you're like, yeah, it's great. It's great. It's so good, thank you. It's so good. Just that I wanted and then leave and vow never to go back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But not saying anything at the time. Oh, stop there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So this is what we want to know. Oh, 800,000. them, give us a call. You can text a 9-6-96. How bad was it? And you still didn't complain.

Do you know another one will be? Wax temperatures. Oh, okay. Sometimes when they put a wax on your fandango or your legs or whatever, and they're like, how's the temperature? You're like, fine. You're like, and it's burning you. You're burning you, you leave. You're like, oh, 800,000. Text now, 9-696. How bad was it before you complained? New Zealanders, we're just not complainers. No, we're not complainers. I mean, certainly there are some Cairns amongst us. I mean, there's people who work in retail and hospitality

listening to the show right now. Just been like, uh, we what? There's so many great messages. That's what that opinion piece said. Like, there's some things we won't complain about, but then we'll quite easily go... Have a moan. A whinge.

Yeah, we love to whinge. So many great texts. Well, let's start with Shay. Shea, how bad was it? And you still didn't complain? Um, so my friends. and I went to a very nice hotel for dinner. And it started out fantastic.

Yeah. And we ordered chicken burgers, both of us. Yum. Delicious. I cut into mine, because, you know, fancy, so you've got to cut it up. Oh, yeah, you know. I know you went to a fancy restaurant like chicken burger, please. Yeah, no, but that's the thing when...

Well, I can't say where we went, but in London, there's a thing that you do, you know, same time of year with burgers. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's served on a dish of some kind. Yeah. Like a flat round. Like a flat round. Like a flat round sort of plate type thing.

Okay. Yeah. Something like that. Okay. And cut into mine and she was raw. Oh. Not a good start. Did you order the medium red chicken though?

Apparently so. It's a bold move, but I'm here for it. Yeah. So we send her back, had a little giggle. That's all fine. So I'm sharing my friend's chips. And then hers is raw. Oh, okay.

Delicious. Yeah. So we send that back. Great. giggle and then I get mine roar again. Roar again. Shay, roar again. Right, and did you complain about that or did you just like, oh well I guess we're done here?

Well, no, I sent her back again because by this time I'm starving, right? Yeah, we're all right. So fourth burger comes out, she's good, mine comes back, she's good, we get our next round of cocktails all over the table. Okay. Well, at least you said something. Because some people might just eat the raw burger. Oh my God, imagine that. We were looking around for Ashton Cutschall.

We were like, are we being punged? You're being punged? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah. I think you're part of some kind of set up because it's that comical. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just every little thing was going wrong. It just was horrific.

But we got three dessert, so can you really complain? See, they love that. But wait, did they charge you for the chicken burger? No, no. We ended up paying for nothing. Okay. But like a room, you know, like the free room would have been nice. Yeah.

Now you're asking you too much. You're pushing you. Yeah, you're asking too much. I don't know. Yeah, true. Trush, thank you. Terran, um, how bad was it and you still didn't complain? Oh my God, it was the worst cut of my life at the hairdresser.

Oh, no. The worst. Like, I had curly hair and there was like steps in my hair. Why? So it was like what in your hair? It's like steps, like different leveled steps. Oh, like, do you step? Oh, no.

Not layers, not layers at all. Nice. Steps like went across the bottom of it. Like. Steps. And you didn't say anything. No, because, and she kept saying, if you don't like it, come back. If you don't like it, you know.

And I was like, okay, why you didn't that so much? That's right. And I was like, babe, I really don't like it. And she's like, do you like it? And I was like, yeah, thanks. And this is $600 later. $600, Terran. I mean, I had

belly eyes done as well. And I was six months post-partum, trying to feel my best, come out of there looking good. Oh, mate. I'm imagining you're looking like a tramp. Yeah. Yeah, I'm imagining you're looking like a tramp.

Why is it so hard for us to say things? Like, why? I don't know. Did you go and get it fixed somewhere else and spend more money on it? Yes, and then I learned about how crap the other hairdresser was. Yeah. Because I've done that before where I've gone somewhere to it.

Yeah. And you go to their hairdresser, they say, who did this? But the thing is, if someone tells his hairdresser, they might learn from it, you know? You're not my responsibility to help them learn? Yeah, it's their job. Come on. Yeah. Okay, Taryn, thank you.

See it. Tramp here. Messages in. I got eyelash extensions a while ago and the chick was asking me the whole time if I was comfortable. I was not. But I lied and said it was fine. I looked in the mirror once I got home. Chemical burns in the eyes.

Oh. I went to get a wax. The lady was talking very highly about itself. She had done it for years. She tried to rip the wax off my underarms when it was still wet. No, no, no. But I was too scared to complain since she was an apparent professional. No, you've got to wait for it to tack on.

I had my eyebrows wax and the tent was a bit hot. Afterwards, the technician said, oh, the wax was hotter than it was meant to be. I'm surprised you didn't notice. Oh, I noticed! I had sat there and suffered through it and said nothing. What's the, like, literally your eyebrows are burning. Your skin's on fire and we're not complaining or saying anything? The skin's only on fire around the general eye area,

so it's fine. Someone said if you go to a fancy restaurant and you're sitting down, never complain. Takeaways make one mistake in the drive-thru? You better believe I'm letting them have it. Yeah, isn't that? I've got five nuggets. Yeah, march up, you left out my sauce.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you had a restaurant, you decide. Well, I guess I don't have sauce now. Because you've got to sit there and look at them. Exactly, you can't make a getaway in a restaurant. Yes. Right. Okay, keep your text coming in.

966. 0800,000,000 M is the number. How bad was it and you still didn't complain? How bad was it and you still didn't complain? A friend ordered a cauliflower meal at a fancy restaurant. It was literally a cauliflower cut in half and grilled and we laughed hysterically about how bad it was. But when they asked her, how was your cauliflower?

She said, it was great. Yeah. And that was all she said. I paid $600 for semi-permanent eyebrows, two quite different shapes. What? Didn't complain. No. They've got a match.

You've got to be symmetrical. Eight months pregnant of my husband purchased a voucher for a massage at a super fancy spa as a special treat for a mama to be. The masseuse had a scratchy bracelet on and it scratched me for an hour and a half. And you didn't say anything. She also shockingly massaged my boobies,

which was a massive shock to me. Oh, I've had a booby massage before. It's lovely. I've heard of it's lovely. It sounds like a breach of the client. Well, mine was from sexologist Morgan Penn. Right. It was sort of part of the whole thing.

I don't know if I'd take it from a sort of a local type. place. It'd be weird being under the escalator at the mall behind a curtain and someone's... Magic fingers. Fanny's massage or magic fingers? Yeah.

I don't think they do the boobs at the mall. I don't think they do a massage of the boobs at fans massage. Boo. We were in Bali and husband was having a shrimp cocktail serves in a very cool seashell. He was enjoying until he saw these little black things crawling out of the shell.

They were little tiny bugs. Oh. And we didn't complain. No. Just eat the bugs. So funny in New Zealand was like, I'll just eat the bugs. No, no, no, I don't want to say anything. I'll eat the bugs.

I'll eat the bugs. This is their country. Maybe they eat the bugs. Maybe it's a special team. I'll eat the bugs. And now I'm sick, but it wouldn't have been the bugs. I deserve to be sick. One time I was getting laser hair removal on my legs.

It was excruciatingly hot. And I was too embarrassed to say anything. The next day there were burn marks on my legs. It would zap the laser. Then I decided I should complain. It took months for the burn marks to go away. Yeah. Geez, how...

Had you breached the rules? Because there's the rules if you get in the laser, you're not allowed to have been like... In the sun or sunburn or something. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. The laser shouldn't be burning you. No.

All right. Someone said, I sat and watched a woman give me a haircut, not at all, anything like I described her. I want to head. And my eyes started watering because I was crying, and she asked me if I was, okay, I said allergies. And at the end, thanked her and paid her. Yeah, but still didn't.

complain. That's wild. Just walk around with your bowl cut with a mint fringe. Yeah. I once ordered a curry and it straight up going out with a banana in it. I was like, thank you very much. Wait, did you order the curry with the bit? There's banana

curries. There are curries that come with a banana. But it does seem lazy that they just peel a banana and pop it in. Was it even... Was it sliced or charred? Slice bananas with a curry. Is it the South Africa? Oh, Malaysian influence. South Africa.

and South East Asian Corsans. I knew South Africans love a banana and things. You chan the banana. You don't just peel a banana and plop it into a butterchicken sauce. Into a patax. Dude, I want to try it so hard. Oh, next time I'm having a butter chicken, I'm getting a little nana out. A little nana.

I love that if the banana comes in front of me, you go, oh, thank you. That looks wonderful. Oh, a banana, thank you. Well, somebody, they did reply saying, I did not want the banana, so yes. Right. But that's okay. That's why it's still one whole banana.

You can take the whole banana. out and that's easy done it was peeled right yes I'm not saying 96696 was a peeled yeah I'm assuming it was sir would you like your banana in curry or on side yeah on the side please

in skin or peeled just leave it in the skin I'm just gonna put it in my lunchbox and take it to work tomorrow I'm gonna rinse it and have it for lunch it was peeled and sliced I do apologize it was sliced into the curry I don't think that's fine eat around it maybe it's not a black

bug crawling out of a shell in barley. It does feel like they didn't read there. It feels like you didn't read the menu. 9-6-96. Would you have a banana and a curry? 9-696. Did you read the menu correctly? You ordered the banana curry and then you were surprised with a banana was in your curry. Goes best with a corma. Someone said, yum. Yeah, yum. It would go hard with a corma.

It wouldn't work in a butter chicken. Why not? It's too much sweetness. But it would offset that if you... Nah, it's a corma. It's a cormer. It is a corma fruit. Is it a rome? Josh? Is it a teka masala?

No, no, no. It would get lost in a tekema masala. It's got to be a creamy. I want to be able to offset the heat a little bit. That would be got the sweet with the heat. Capsicum is the dominant vegetable of a teaka masala. I don't think banana could cut through. 9-6.96.

What are you putting in your car each night? I wouldn't put a banana in my narn. No, but I would put cheese. That's a dessert. That's a dessert. That's a dessert narn. If you had a teller. Plain narn.

Hold your garlic. Maybe a little bit of butter. Hold the garlic, hold the cheese, banana, but a Nutella. We're talking to big fat crepe now. Fat crepe. I had a banana-natella crepe on the weekend. It would have been better if it was a fatter crepe. It was a narn.

Sometimes a crape's too thin. Yeah. That's why your narns is superior bread. Love a flat bread. My wife complained that her butter chicken wasn't a medium heat. It was a bit hot. Once she took it back and they gave her a new one, it was the hottest curry I've ever had in my life. Yeah, take that.

Didn't have a banana in it, though. Yeah, 966. Did it have a banana in it? The Z&M Podcast Network. I went and saw the movies. I went and saw the movies on the weekend. I went to IMAX cinema. I can't remember the last thing I saw on an IMAX screen.

Fantastic Four of, I think, was my last IMAX. It just blows your mind, don't you think you know how big it is and you walk in it every time you're like, far out. It's the whole, limit building. And then most big cities have a max screen or whatever they call it. Yeah, big. But not that big. Not that big.

Because it's VMAX. Yeah, there's VMAX. The max. Yeah. They film particular movies on particular cameras And particular auto mixes for IMAX cinema So not all of them can do it You wouldn't see it

Romcom on it I went and saw Project Hail Mary I really want to go see that I love gozling as a sort of a goofy gozzling I love a goofy gozzling It's my favourite guffy gozzling He was so good in it It's not out yet though

No I know And you've got a little sneak preview No it was one of those advanced weekend screenings Oh right at the weekend before. Yeah. So this is like based on a hard science fiction novel from 2021. That just went absolutely crazy.

And we went to this movie and I was looking around the crowd. I was like, man, these people are here. Like they're excited for it. I didn't know it was on. And then we saw it. We're like, oh my God, we've got to go. Sold out cinema, which is so good to see. Like it was amazing being in a completely packed crowd.

Every single seat was, yeah. Also, by the way, like if you've booked a ticket to a movie, I reckon like, show up on time. I reckon be there when the movie starts because people would do shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle scuffle scuffle Oh yeah yeah So first thing, Project Hail Mary Fantastic film

It's a book, right? Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, it's a book And it is just brilliant Like it's one of the best movies I've seen for so long Loved every minute of it The same guy Andy Weir wrote The Martian The Matt Damon movie where he gets stuck on Mars Money grows potato in the species

And it's so that vibe where it's like man in space, but it's funny. Right. It's so funny. And then he meets an alien. Okay, you lost me now. No, no, no, no, no. The trailer looks cute. I cried.

Oh. You cried? Yeah, I cried. Wow. I've got a feeling I've got to cry even from the trailer. I was like, I think I'm going to cry. You will. I was there the whole time.

Actually, I went like, I played games on the weekend. And I went to this, like, kind of nerdy movie. And I went to an AMP show. And I was like, who am I, Vaughn Smith? The whole time I was like, I'm having a Vaughn Smith weekend. You are. I was like doing these activities thinking,

I'd love this. I had fun and I had food and I laughed a lot. See? You don't need drugs to have fun. Oh God, definitely not. You just had a chemical imbalance in your brain

that makes you hyperfixate on things for a few months at a time. That's right. So my only review is for the IMAX cinema which, by the way, the experience phenomenal, movie phenomenal,

audio, great, everything. But it was a bit fat shamey. What do you mean? My hips could be fit in the seat. Tight little seats. When they put that in, they haven't upgraded the seats,

have they? I don't think they've kept up with our inflation as a nation. I feel like when that cinema was built in the late 90s? Late 90s. I don't know when IMAX went in. I feel like there was movies there before.

No, that building that IMAX was built around in the 90s. Would have been mid-90s? History, IMAX. Yeah, so I don't... These days will never know how much that building used to hum. Because you're right.

really like on an angle. Yeah, and there's not a lot of room. A lot of movie cinemas have upgraded to big kind of lounge seats now. 97 was when the planning started. So it was very early 2000. Opened around 2000. She had a planet Hollywood in it and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it's like. So we've got fatter. Because in the early 2000s, you know, heroin shake. You know, everyone was very thin. And I think they might have built the seats for it. Because I got it and I said, well, on God's earth is this. My hips were pushed against it. I was uncomfortable the whole time.

teeny tiny little seats. That's my only bad review for the IMAX. Fat shaming seats. Absolutely fat shamed me. But the movie, you've got to go see it. Can I also say you're saying you're referring to yourself as fat and I don't like that? Because you're not. No, the seat shamed me for being.

Yeah, but you're not that big. Not that big. You're making it sound like you. But I am big. No, you're making it sound. I'm like you're... Not that big. Wow, I heard that.

As a friend, as a dear friend, I'll let you have it, but never say that to another woman ever again in your life. You're like, how are I'm like, I'm spilling out of this seat. Not that big. You're like, what are you referring to yourself as that for? Yeah. Did you hear me not make... When did someone say you don't look that big and you loved it? No texts.

No text in. No text in. And I'm saying that's unfair to you. To refer to yourself. You don't look that big, something you want to hear. 966. You should know better. I had a big weekend, man.

I had Hayley Sproul weekend. She had a Vaughan Smith weekend. My brain's not working right. Yeah. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh, Forn and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do do, do do do do do do do do.

Do do do do do do do do do do. Give me that a St. Patrick's, day tomorrow. I thought we could do the Irish for fact of the day. Okay. I love that. I might have a little treat for St Patrick's Day tomorrow by the way. A treat for who? Treat for all listening and a treat for us. Okay. Fantastic. Do you have Boysone on the show?

Oh. Spoiler alert. Is it Ronan Keating? Shit, no, I don't get Ronan Keating on the show. You get Ronan Keating on the show. Well, now my treat. He must be drew back in New Zealand to film another TV commercial for The Breeze. We could probably snap them up. Oh, yes. There might be a conflict of interest. ZDM could never get Ronan Keaton to do a TV ad for us, you know?

Stay humble. Just know your place, you know? Know your order in the packing order. Know where you sit. Well, today I want to tell you about the Blarnie Stone. Ever heard of the Blarnie Stone? Yes, you're going to kiss it. Kissing the Blanistone.

Correct. Osh would have a bloody field battle with the modern day. Blarnie stone kiss. It's a block of limestone set into the battlements of the Blarnie Castle. And kissing it is said to give you the gift of the gab. meaning, you know, eloquence, charm, persuasive speech. But no one is 100% sure of where it came from. The castle was there first.

That's been there since 1446. Yep. And the stone apparently may have been gifted to the Irish from Robert the Bruce. Yep. That's because he was Scottish. Which one was he in Game of Thrones? The fat one that died early. Okay.

Thank you. Yeah. One of the Roberts. That was Barathean. Okay. So they're saying, but then geologists, because they're always coming in and spoiling everybody's fun, very unlikely because the type of stone it is

wouldn't have come from that part of Scotland where he would have done that and given it too. So in the legal side of the Blaney Stone is Queen Elizabeth the first demanded that the MacArthur's who owned it are surrender the castle to the English crown. But he kept sending long letters, Cormick McCarthy, kept sending long letters full of polite excuses and clever arguments instead of complying.

And she said, this is all blarney. He never says what he means. The word blani then became mean flattering, persuasive talk that may or may not be sincere. Bologna. He had the blarney. Yeah, no, but then now we say, that's all bologna. That's all bologna. It may have evolved into that. Yeah.

And then people are like, how did he get so good at this? And he's like, I was kissing the stoner kiss. So then it became this, like, weird tradition. Kiss the blarnie stone. They would hang upside down over the cast of wall or someone held their legs. And they would kiss this blarney stone. Today there's iron railings and staff members. So slightly less terrifying than just hanging 25 metres up, by the way.

Yeah. So you're just hanging over the side. How the kiss works, you've got to climb to the top of the castle. You've got to make your way up there by yourself. Sit on the ground, lean backwards while gripping the railings lower. You head upside down and kiss the stone beneath the embattlement. Now, they are saying that 400,000 people do this a year. Correct.

Is there some kind of sanitary wipe down before the kiss? There may have been a COVID wipe. But we're back and spitting's back for 2026. Yeah, it is back. Spitting's back in a big way. Don't spit on the Blanistone. Unless the Blarnie Stone's into it. Into it, yeah.

So Winston Churchill's kissed the Blarnie Stone. God, he's a big boy to lie backwood's like that. Yeah. And I like that he probably had a cigar in his mouth as well. I'll give a whiskey and now that's a whiskey and now that's. Good old guy. And as Fletch said, up to 400,000 visitors a year to kiss the Blarnie Stone. You travel a lot.

No, I never have. You've not really done Ireland, though, have you? No, I've never. It's definitely on my list. It's edged out Japan to be by number of. We don't say that word. It's, um... Brinked.

It's brinked. It's brinked out. No, it's taken over. It's taken over. It's overtaken. It's overtaken. It's overtaken Japan to be my number one. Yeah.

It's a beautiful place. Well, that's that's because you've got an alcohol addiction. Yes, it is probably. Definitely part of the reason. So you can go and you can be like breakfast Guinness and no one would question it because I'm here. I'm here. By being in an airport, really?

100%. Yeah. A hundred percent. Speaking of goodness, tomorrow on St. Patrick's they will be touching on the alcohol of Ireland. I would like this week for you also to include a fact about the National Airline Aer Lingus. I could work in Air Lingus. I'll tread lightly.

It has been told off before. It has been the subject of a broadcasting standards complaint that we've received in the past. I think it was less us talking about airlingus and more of the... Allah, la la la la noise. And then some, I think it was Haley made some snide remark about potatoes being served on board. Yeah, but you picked it up and you ran with it. I may have. And again, let's not.

repeat the mistakes of the past. We won't. We acknowledge our mistakes and we don't repeat. So today's fact of the day is if you're in Ireland and you want the gift of the gab, you've got to go kiss the blinding stone. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. Day

The ZDoo do Do do do Flete do do Vorn and Haley We want to know now What does your partner Always bring up in an argument You know those things they always go to

Why do we talk about this? Because I was reading an article about a, well, a therapist had shared about retroactive jealousy messing up your relationship. So having, like, being jealous of your partner before you met them. Oh, that's cooked. You sleep with them before I even knew you. I can't believe you sleep with this person. I can't believe you used to do that. And you're like, you didn't exist in my life then.

Oh, why don't you shag him again? And you're like, what do you want? but holding on to things that they've done before you met them and then bringing them up. And then maybe things as well that, you know, they did, early, early days and it's like, that time. People like are so obsessed with someone's body count

before they were with you. It's like they're with you. It's not your business. It's in the past. As long as the number that they met you with is still the number they have. Yes. Because if it's still going up,

then there's questions to, conversations to be had. Unless there's an ethical agreement. That's right. And there's a book on that. There's a book on that, yeah. Yeah. What are you doing here, Fletch, by bringing this question up?

No, I love this. Because every couple has, there's always a couple of things someone will bring up. Yeah. Yeah. This is just like the time. It's like, what was it? It was five years ago, Michael, let it go. I just can't believe you would burn my vocals.

Remember that ad for vocals? Yeah. Placer. But some people have a really hard time of letting things go. Yeah. Yeah, some of these are a bit Okay, we'll start it off We've had a text message

When I worked in a pub My then new boyfriend came in And played the pokies And I said to him, if you win, you have to split it with me He wins $600. We're then to get the nine years End of this year, married for four.

Where's my money, Matthew? Wait, so they have an argument And she's like, Matthew, you owe me $400. Yeah, rich from you, considering you owe me $300. Yeah. I'd just pay it. If he ever said to...

If that's all she's got, pay her. Yeah. Unless she doesn't it. Wait, was it $800 or six? Six. Oh, six. Okay, three. Yeah, yeah.

I'm not dumb at math, so I thought it was eight. You thought I said a 801. I did go to a Desol 1 primary school. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cabbage mass. I'm just death. Yeah. Death.

Can't even speak now. God, you can't even speak. He doesn't know the difference is dead. Again, no, but I went to a Desol 1 school. Yeah. It's when you die, it's deaf, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You've nailed it.

There, there, there. I mean, you actually are deaf because you can't hear you're dead. deep. That's deep. Deep. Thanks guys. That's so deep. Fleth philosophy over it.

Fleth-lossify over here. Great new segment. Great new segment for the show. When you make a mistake, you can't admit it. You have to craft a story around it. Yes. And then end with some kind of prophecy or some sort of, you know. It's enough to be like, oh wow.

Yeah, that was good. That was deep, guys. Okay, well, oh, 800 dials at air. And you know what? You can be anonymous. Dob and your partner if you want or an ex. What does your partner always bring up in an argument? And you can tell us about your ex-partners,

because they're probably exes because they keep bringing this up. It's probably more fun if you're not currently seeing them. And is it women or men that do this more? What does your partner always bring up in an argument? And you can job yourself in. A few people who are job in themselves in. Oh, I like that. Ex-partner, current partner.

Anonymous also always welcome. Yes. Not many people willing to talk on air about this one. Crazy that, eh? Crazy that. A couple of stories of money. My husband always brings up how he pays for mortgage and food, but I pay for phone power and the visa plus $100 into the mortgage account.

He earns more, so I think it kind of works out fair. Percentage-wise. It's awkward to be... You've got to work on that communication. Yeah. I'm the breadwinner, and I earn more money than he does, and that often gets brought up in an argument. He will bring it up.

Yeah. Interesting. I wouldn't care. I'd be stoked. Yeah, so stoned. It's all just money, right, for the household. For the kitty. Yeah.

Whenever I used to ask my ex through the dishes, he used to say I was the one who did all the cooking and made all the mess. What? Boy, I'm glad that had an X in it. Yeah. Because if you messaged it and saying that was still your current situation, we'd be telling you to pack the bags. Yeah.

We do be telling you. Get out. Okay, I've messaged this person back for more information. because I feel like it's a whole story. Okay. My partner, brackets, now X, brackets, brackets closed, got drunk on our son's first birthday

and ended up on Kappati Island. Now, for those unaware, Kappati Island is an island off the coast of Kapperti down by Wellington. Yep. Quite a way offshore. Yeah. Yeah, it's not swimmable.

Yeah, he ended up there until the next day. So that one's stuck. Now, I've asked this person for some more information. You're like, how did he get to the? the island. Why did he get to the island? Why, why did he get drunk at his son's first birthday? Yeah. But that was always brought up,

was that? Was that the point? Yep. Yeah. I mean, and to be honest, fair, fair, fair. Do you mind if I just pop out for a drink at the pub with the boys? Are you going to end up on Capiti Island? Yeah. Yeah. Are you going to come home? We're going to be on an island. Because you know it's our son's birthday in two months. Yeah. I always bring up how his mother despised me.

So he has to be nice to me. Oh, okay. That's healthy. I think that's healthy. You remind me of your mother when you start getting like this. Yeah, that wouldn't go down well, would it? It's swinging for the fences. I always bring up 12 years later the time he drilled 18 extra holes in a concrete wall to put up one shelf.

Every time he suggests doing a pro-direct around the house, I'm like, how many holes in our concrete wall will this one cost me? That's so good. I mean, that seems fair. He doesn't sound that handy. Yeah. You know, like you don't want. Yeah, that many holes for a shelf. I'll do it myself.

Keep your text coming in. 9-6-96-0-800-Ebb is the number. What does your partner always bring up in an argument? There are so many, so many. So he ended up on Carpetsy Island. Okay, fantastic. Okay, we're back to the island. Back to the island.

If you've just tuned in, if you've just joined us, my partner now, X got drunk on her son's first birthday and ended up on Caputty Island. He was there till the next day. So that was their go-to. You're never winning an argument when someone comes back at you and says, remember that time you ended up on the island? Yeah.

Daryl? Yeah, yeah. Oh, we're only going to have a couple of drinks. There's nothing big. Oh, yeah, like the time that you... Well, it was crate day. He found a boat with his friend. That was his excuse.

Found a boat. Found a boat. I think what you mean there was, he stole a boat. He's hijacked. He stole someone's boat and ended up on Capri Island. Fell backwards off a deck when he got there and donned himself out. So he had to stay the night. Sarah, what is it that you always bring up in an argument?

Yeah, so sort of similar to the story. with the past text. So my partner went to the pub for a few lemonade. Yeah, yeah, as you do. Yep, Dad. And it was my due date or our baby. No. And he just thought I would go for hours and hours like I did the previous baby.

Oh, wait, so wait. He ended up more hours away. No, not quite. It began probably about an hour after he left. Right, and then he'll come home. He'll come home. He messaged him, and my God, Labor's started. He would think, but he was four hours away in Dunedin.

Off of, you know, face with the stepdad. Yeah. And, yeah, he missed it. And so now when there's a big argument, you can pull out that, well, you did miss the birth of our child. Yeah, you weren't actually there. to drive myself to the hospital in labour. Wow.

Do you pull that out just for the big arguments? Every year, it's my daughter's birthday, yeah. Yeah. So you're still together? Yeah. I'm married him after that. I mean, that's got to be the most surprising part. That's so good, but it's good.

It's ammo in the arsenal, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, and my daughter now uses it too. Oh, good. Brilliant. Damn. I'm not. I had to remember how you didn't make it.

to my birth. Yes. Oh, that's so good. She's out for thing. Cheapers. That's so good. I love that. Sarah, thank you.

Some messages in. I always bring up the time my partner graded a block of butter instead of a block of cheese. That immediately ends any debate. Well, you know, as someone that has mixed up cheese and butter on the charcutory board. Yeah, yeah.

Which, by the way, our friend had blocks of butter on the charcutory board. It was the oddest choice. It was the oddest thing, wasn't it? And this was pre when we were doing those butter boards, too. Like, it had no sense. It made no sense. My kill switching is an argument is I'm not the one who got the house searched by the police though, am I? Okay, that's great.

I can't say I've been able to use that one myself personally. No. It's a bingo. Apparently the time I packed snacks for a road trip but forgot to pack her actual lunch proves I'm incapable of planning. My partner always brings up the time that I was watering a fake plant for a few months. I love that. That's so good. Every argument eventually circles back to the time I said

that's not how you spell definitely, but it was how you spell definitely. It was I who had been spelling definitely. Oh, you love that. That's one of those words. There's more eyes. Die, fine, night, daily. Definitely.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah. My parnasol references at the time I accidentally put a metal bowl in the microwave. We are sure that's how shableness. and blow up her microwave, but she won't admit it. She won't say. She won't say. I recently described his lasagna as

interesting instead of nice. And that has been entered permanently into the marital record. Wow. I reversed into a letterbox in 2014 and every time I parked slightly crooked, he says, careful, remember the letterbox. Oh, that would drive me nuts. And we've been having an argument

and he just looks at letterboxes. Brilliant. So good. Yeah. He still brings up that I shrank his favorite jumper in the dryer nine years ago like it was a deliberate act but it was just a mistake. Did you read the one about the woman pooping herself? I did not read the one about the woman

pooping herself. What did that say? Where is that? My hubby always brings up how I pooped myself while giving birth and he had to waffle stomp it down the drain. Like you owe me one. Like you're arguing and he's like you well let's not forget about the time I took care of the poo you did while heaving a human

out of your china. I took care of that poo for you. Yeah. Slays, that ends, Fleshhorn and Haley. Oscar's Day Today, it's the big one. There's the big films that are up for sort of battling for best picture. One battle after another and sinners. Still haven't seen sinners. Neither.

Have you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, good. It's good. I've seen them both. So you've seen both, what's your pick? Oh, I just can't believe a movie that's primarily based around vampires is up for, Whereas the Paul Thomas Anderson movie with Leonardo DiCaprio And it had that real hallmark of an Oscar winner

It's also a little bit political Which is why I think it will win Because Hollywood's very, you know, like that So sinners in a way Okay It's a little bit of... Well, it's set in like 1930s southern states So yeah

Well, the same racism you can experience in modern day America Yeah, you can. Yeah, Conan O'Brien is hosting It'll be on Disney today, streaming live. Red carpet kicks off 11th. 7.30 New Zealand time, I believe. I just always find it's a good time of the year to compile a list of great movies to watch, you know? No, yeah, that was last year, yeah, yeah, this year, this year, 1130-ish.

Okay. It kind of cracks on. Right. I'm going to watch. I love the Oscars. It's huge. Always dreamt of winning one one day. Okay.

Yeah. I'm not saying anything. No, it's fine. I also dream of winning lotto. It didn't happen either. I'd rather win a lotter than an Oscar, to be honest. See, for me, money is not how I value myself. Neither, but an Oscar can't fill up my petrol with gas.

I just pull into the petrol station. Yes, you can. Don't think I've got to pay for this, say. You see what I've got here? So also, though, I love this. They always announce this the day before the Oscars as the Razzie's or the Golden Raspberrys. That's the worst ofs.

And they do a full ceremony, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's real ballsy if you turn up to accept your... Razzie. Hallie Berry back in the day. When she got Catwoman, she turned up and got her... Razzie. I think people really, like...

You kind of win people back over if you're like... Yeah. Because if you take yourself too seriously, that's when, you know... You've got to be able to laugh for yourself. Exactly. So, okay. Oh, hang on. Razies.

Sandra Bullock is the per. I was thinking of who it was. Sandra Bullock in 2010 won a Razzie and an Oscar in the same year. For the same role? She won Worst Actress for All About Steve and Best Actress. for the blind side.

For the blind side. And she went and accepted both awards in person. Amazing. So the War of the Worlds was worst picture. This is the new Ice Cube remake. Okay. So War of the World's famous story. And then they did a great movie of Tom Crow's Ice Cube.

This is the new version. All told through computer screens, video calls and phones. Zero percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. It's had five wins. Worst director, worst screenplay. worse actor, worse pitcher. Wow. And then something else, like a smaller one.

So Ice Cube, worst actor. Yep. Snow White, the 2025 film. Multiple Razzie wins, including worst supporting actors for the CGI created dwarves. Oh, yeah.

Is that the Rachel Ziegler one? Yeah, and Gal Gadot, who's honestly a shocking actress. Bridehart. Calal No. Calal No. Rebel Wilson won, worst actress. for Bride Hard

follows a secret agent Made of Honourne. Rebel, come on, we've got to stop with the shit. But I'll watch it. A secret agent made of honor who has to save a wedding after criminals crash the party.

I haven't seen it and I've seen it. You know what I mean? Gunslingers, Scarlet Rose Stallone, Sylvester Stallone's daughters won her first Razzie were supporting actress said the acting and the story

was very flat. I love this. And do you know what's funny is it makes me want to watch the Ice Cube War of the Worlds. Just to see how bad they are. His War of the Worlds it was literally 0%

Yeah, that's what Haley said. And on an RMDB, like across the lot, across the mark. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like not even a, you guys tried his... 17, like it's bad, but like... Not even someone, like when Shannon does a really bad hack. Yeah, some people check down.

And someone just says one so that it's not a zero. Exactly so it doesn't hurt Ice Cube's feeling. Yeah. For worst on screen, like, what would you call it, chemistry? Like, they call it combo. Worst on-screen chemistry

was Ice Cube and his Zoom camera. Oh, we laugh. Anyway, we'll come back tomorrow with a bit of an Oscars rapper for the big awards. The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's FlashForn and Haley.

We want to know now when you missed an important message, like where there is an email or text. Because a man in America, or no, Australia, he won a $50 million powerball jackpot.

Wow. And I don't know why, but when you win a big price like that, they email you? How bizarre. Must be just attached to an account for a specific lotto. But does that happen? Like, if we won New Zealand lotto and you bought the ticket on the app, would you... I guess you had to register with an email. Yeah. And they're

just like, hey, you won $50 million. Yeah. So this guy, a Victorian man, he won the $50 million powerball jackpot. He's revealed that he deleted the first email telling him that he had won the Powerball Jackpot, assuming it was a junk spam email. Which is, would look like one. Yeah, but dude, you've got a ticket in the drawer. Yeah, check.

Like, what do you be like, oh, okay, I'll check on the app? I didn't actually check my lotto. I know no one won, but I want to know if I won, like $23 or something. Oh, I'm hoping for us to win enough to get me another ticket. that's not going to happen. Nobody won Powerball in New Zealand at the weekend. It's at $17 million. Wow.

So officials initially unable to contact this guy on Thursday. His ticket was registered with an old phone number. So the email there, they emailed him and said, hey man, you've won $50 million in the Powerball. And yeah, he deleted it. And then so what did he not get his money? So he apparently they emailed him again. I received another email and I thought, well, maybe I'll check the app.

He said he was in shock. He was watching footy with his son. Foothy. And then his wife gets home and he says, have I got some news for you, Dahl? Hi, Dahl. Funny your home. You know, I don't think she'll believe me.

But yeah, they've got the shakes. And so, yeah, it was a $6.30 ticket. Oh. And they won 50 million Australian dollars. Isn't that insane? But yeah, it took two emails. And the guy's just like, oh. That makes me so nervous.

Yes. But you hear of this happening? Like, you know, maybe it's someone. emailing about a job, you've got the job. Or texting you've been like, hey, don't go here or don't do this or don't leave the house. You don't see it. It's a problem with so many messages and our phones. You just, and a lot of people, I'm not one of them, but some people just leave notification bubbles.

Oh, yeah. And so they miss messages because it's just another number in the red bubble. Hi there. Used to work for Lotto. If you buy on my Lotto, which we tend to do. And win, you actually do automatically get an email if you win. Then we give you time to check it. couple of days later, we'll call you.

They'll call you. Well, I don't answer phones from unknown numbers. No, it comes up, lotto. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, does it? I've got that thing turned on. The screening, call screening. And it's like, please leave the, yeah.

Why you're calling. Yeah. Hello, you've won. And then $17 million. It never, it doesn't understand the Kiwi accent. So it's pretty good. Try to round it out. Yeah.

Crazy. But so this is what I want to know. Has this ever happened? Have you missed out on something? Or, I don't know. missed someone. Missed an opportunity, all because you missed an important message.

Oh, 800 dials at em is the number. Give us a call. Text through as well, 9-6996. When you missed an important message. We want to know when you missed an important message, an email or a text or whatever it was. Maybe offering you something. Oh my God, I always think about people that win things like,

you've won a hundred dollars. You won the prize that you entered, you know, and you just miss it. I started entering prizes. Have you? You know, when you buy something and it's like, do you want to enter this prize? I'm like, yep.

Oh my gosh, you know what I did in a moment of weakness last week? What? Signed up for us to do surveys. Oh, why? Was there every dollar counts? Every dollar counts. They had like a voucher. They'd get vouchers and I can't even remember what it was for or I was like, I'd like a vouch for them.

But now that email him at eight times a day, I've got to go through and somehow unsubscribe from all of that. Well, the reason we ask is because last week, Victorian man in Australia won $50 million in the jackpot, the powerball jackpot. his phone number had changed and wasn't in the system. So they emailed him and he deleted it thinking it's spam. Yeah. Which you would, right? Of course you would. I get emails over day telling me of one things that have spam.

I missed a very important message last week when on my way home from work. I didn't see that I'd been text as I was literally pulling on the driveway asking me to grab milk. I hate that. That was the end of the world. My mum does it all the time. I'll be in the supermarket. Do you need me to grab anything? She'll say yes.

Da-da-da-da. I'm like, great. Anything else? Nothing. I do my shop. I leave him in the car. Herald for Dad. Or, you know, like just something.

Yeah. Rose-A. Yeah, too late I've left. I say too late, Ethel. That's it. We're out. I didn't see the message from the teacher because you get so many of them.

Yep. Via the app. Oh, the school app. It was dress up. Dress-up day tomorrow. We were at school. Everybody. Well, you have fancy dress day.

Or like Muffty or something. No, like fancy dress. Yeah. We don't say that anymore either. Canceled. Canceled. Canceled. Canceled.

Cancelled. Cancell. What do we say now? Civis. Civis. Civilian clothing day. Civilian clothing day. Non-uniform, casual.

Yeah. Okay. Friday. CCD. Yep. Yeah. And so all the kids were dressed up. My kid lost.

Oh. It was the worst when you were on civilian clothing day on CCD and you wore your uniform. What did you call it back in the day? Muff Day. Got you. Cancel. It's canceled.

It's a new. segment called Canceled. Oh no, I reckon, let's not. Let's get you cancelled. Let's not. No new segment. We were arriving to some friends. Don't bring anything.

We've ordered food, but it was too late. We were going to surprise them by cooking them dinner, so we arrived with groceries, and then the takeaways arrived just after us. That's why it's great hosting things, because you get all the leftovers. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Unless there are those friends that like to take them back.

So weird when people bring, like, a bottle of wine, and there's like one glass left and they take it. No, I'm on board. No, I'm all for people taking a, like, I don't, I'm not going to drink it. It's host tax. I agree, leave it behind. Speaking of which, I've got nearly a full bottle of Haley's vodka. He does.

Really? Yeah. I brought it for espresso martes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I only made one round. Thank you. Again, host tax. Crazy.

If we pull the audio, Haley just literally said that's host tax, right? I need to pull the audio. I think host tax is the little bit at the bottom, not a little bit was drunk and a full. bottles left behind. There is a mark on the bottle at which it's mine and yours. What we said below halfway? Below halfway, host keeps? Below a quarter.

Below a quarter? For spirits? For spirits? Yeah, host tax. Somebody said, speaking of school apps, and he hit all the messages, I didn't see the school finishes early today when they decided to go a half day.

Oh, little Timmy and little Susie waiting on the curb for mummy. Got a call from little Timmy at the school office. Where are you? Mom! Did you ever get left behind at school? You know your parents forgot you? No, because I only lived like a cave from school So I just walk home

Just walked it You'd always see those other kids that are late Just they're being like, no, they're coming We were always sold if we missed the bus We were walking and yeah, we missed the bus couple times And yeah, we were walking. It was a different time Ah, different time

Shout out to Asian grocers Oh, I love Asian supermarkets, Asian groceries The one near me closed down after COVID And it still makes me sad I went past it the other day I was like, I miss my cheap fruit. Man.

Down like on Beach Road. Oh, yeah. Because there used to be, we used to go to the one on Kay Road. Yeah, that's a good one. Afternoons. That was a really top tier Asian supermarket. Yeah. The one I went to was out in Massey area, kind of West Gately Massey,

popped in there to grab a few, like, interesting treats. Man, got some cool stuff. It's good. Do you know they're good for cheap spices as well? Are they? Cheap everything. Like chili. flakes and stuff, way cheaper than the supermarket.

I'll say not a pack of mince to be found. Beef. Really? But pork, pork, pork, man. Yeah, good, cheap stuff. Found lots of great treats. But the thing I want to talk about is when you walk in, they had a wall of shame. And it was people who had shoplifted. I wonder if I could just sort of move this aside.

You know the dairy down the road from work under the Denys, they've got a wall of shame. Yeah, love it. And I always think it would be a funny prank to play on your friends to print out a photo of them. and just hang it up when no one's looking. That's brilliant. Put them in and be like, oh my God, Dr. Shawnee. Because it is always just inside the window. It'd be easy to just reach and attack on.

So I'm looking for a moribar, boom, slamming up. Go into a dairy with your friend. Take a photo of them from a distance up high when they're not looking. Security camera flash. Yeah. And then you're going as far as to get an elevated shop. And then print it out black and white and put it on the door. And then show them and be like, dude, what, are you a shoplifter?

So like here's the photos, right? Like black and white, CCTV, footage, hilarious, grey. That's fine. The bit that this grocer did, which I thought was amazing. Is this legal? There's a bit of a grey area, right? Like, well, is this a grey area that next to the headshot, so there's the mug shots, is their wall of shame where they've A-I'd the faces of these crims onto silly things.

So like here's one as a sad chicken, ugliest chicken winner, and it's AIed that guy's face onto the chicken. Oh my God, that's amazing. There's another one of a woman, one of the women, who stole a, you know, chocky bar. Now she's being shed on by thousands of pigeons. That's so funny. There's a guy falling over into his coffee.

There's one of the guys, sort of a young, fuggie, hot-looking criminal guy in a ballet tutu having tea with a teddy beer. Oh my God, that's actually genius. In a cows, brilliant. It's genius. So it's like, not only we're going to shame you, putting your own photo up,

but we're going to AI you to make you look real silly. Shopliff from us, you're silly fool. That's so good. We'll get that photo up. Oh, yeah, well, should we share it? Yeah, Ira can share it. Although it's that allowed? I was just going to say, you were like,

are they allowed to AI them? And they've got, like, people are only walking past? You want to put it on our Instagram account with nearly 100,000 people following? Yeah, we can tell it. That's probably where it starts to get a little iffy. If you like today's podcast, tell your friends, you could send them the late.

And if you don't have any friends, just pretend you did. Yeah, great. And rate and review. And maybe get out there and try to make some friends. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
