The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hayley joining us from the Pullian Grand Memorial Studio in Wellington this morning. And I've just been having a quiet moment just thinking about them, just in the studio. We've got a notification over Hayley's face there on Zoom.

Oh, do we? Oh, you don't need to see my face. It's trying to record your face. It's actually, I'm just... You happy with that? I don't know if this is inappropriate. Oh, I didn't consent. I don't know if this is inappropriate,

but the view that Vaughn and I are getting is very breast heavy. I know. Do you know what? I didn't put on a bra this morning. That's why. You're getting a strong undertick. It's the low camera.

There they are. Let me sit up for the boys. Let me sit up for the boys. A couple of big nungas coated in a Metallica t-shirt. That's a hell of a start to a Thursday. God, I feel right at home in New Plymouth. Yeah, I'm heading home to the Waikato this weekend, and that's just really getting me revved up.

Oh, I just wanted to give you a treat. Look, there we go. Look, I just woke up, and I couldn't find a bra, so I just didn't put one on. So that's for you. That's fine. Now, last night, the opening of your comedy show in Wellington, how did it go?

Oh, my God. I had so much fun, honestly. It was really great. I loved it. I've got a bit of a raspy voice, though. I didn't warm up properly. Oh, right. Okay, well, yeah. I didn't do my warm-ups, darling. I didn't do my warm-ups, darling. You've got a bit of a raspy voice though. I didn't warm up properly. Oh, right. Okay, well, yeah.

I didn't do my warm-ups. A few more shows to go, so watch that voice. Yeah, I will. I'll do some proper warm-ups today. Lemon and honey? I'm actually having, oh my God, guys. Schaefer's New World in Wellington.

Are they the ones with the playlist? With the iconic playlist? Yeah, iconic playlist. Oh, my God. They have, like, upped their game. I went in yesterday by batteries, and I was like, oh, my God, what is this heavenly land? And so now I've got some green juice. Right.

I was going to ask what the batteries are for, but you're all USB now with your toys, aren't you? Yeah, no, no, no, no. That's for the keytar. That's for the keytar. Oh, my God, how embarrassing. How many batteries does the keytar take? Six AA's. Oh, only double. That's for the keytar. That's for the keytar. Oh my God, how embarrassing. How many batteries does the keytar take? Six AA's.

Oh, only double. That's amazing. AA's, I was considering it might have been a D cell or a C cell situation. I thought so too. No, it's just the AA's. All right, well, you got your juices. You're ready to go. I've got my juices.

I've got some fruit, just, you know, in memory of Fletch. And I bought my own apple so I can cut my own single slice today. Okay, fantastic. The top six on the way. The budget is coming out soon. Yesterday, yeah. I think the end of the month. Next week. Is it the end of next week? No. Week after. Anyway, the budget comes out.

This is where it sets out what the country's money is going to be spent on. The Prime Minister has warned us this is a no bells and whistles budget. No bells or whistles. So if you like bells and or whistles, this is... I like them both at the same time.

Yeah. It's not going to be the budget for you. 30th of May is when this is announced. 30th of May. So I think yesterday's announcement was like a don't expect, like managing our expectations. They've been doing that. They've had a few of those announcements. It's like mum and dad telling you it's going to be a light Christmas.

They're giving you a warning all through November. I'm hoping for a big budget announcement on single dad cat owners. You know, just a little allowance for jelly meat every week. Yeah, that'd be good. I can't see it happening. No, neither. Because that sounds like a bell or a whistle. That sounds like bells and whistles to me.

It sounds like one or t'other. Yeah. There won't be any bells and whistles. So the top six. The top six things that won't have bells or whistles. In the budget. In the budget. Next on the show.

If you have a baby on the way and you have been gifted the lofty task of naming it, I may have a tool for you. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Okay, quickly, don't think about it too much. Fletch, you've just had a baby. What are you naming it? Three, two, one, go. Girl or boy?

Boy. God, don't think about it. Terry. Terry. Great name. Yeah, great name. Strong name. Thank you. Strong name. Carwen's screwing up her face. about it. Terry. Terry. Great name. Yeah, great name. Strong name. Thank you.

Strong name. Oh, Carwen's screwing up her face. I mean, Terry. Tezza. We call him Tezza. Little Tezza. His friends will call him Tezza. Little Tezza.

Little Tezza. Tezza Fletcher. Yeah, that doesn't work, does it? Okay, Vaughan, don't think about it too much. You've just given birth to a baby girl. Go. What's its name? French Polynesia.

What? French Polynesia. What? French Polynesia. French, first name, Polynesia, middle name. French Polynesia Smith. She can go by Franny, Polly. Franny. Franny. It's a terrible name. It's not as good as Terry. No, Terry and Franny. I don't know

if they'll be mates. Anyway, I've never had to name a child, and thank God. I don't think that's how people name them, by the way. I don't think people are just like, the baby's come in, you've got to name it, go. Jeremiah was a bullfrog. You've got to put a lot of thought into these things. Yes. Well, you've named human beings before.

How long did it take you to think of the names? A long time. And then you've got to wait till you see this baby. Oh, yeah, because it's got a face that doesn't say. Yeah. I think Florence was on the cards for Indy. Yeah. And the minute I saw her, I was like, nah, that's an Indy.

She's not a Flo. Nah, she's not a Flo. She's not a Flo. Well, if you need to name a baby or a human or even probably a dog, you could use this new app, which is called. Terry's also a great name for a dog. Terry's a better name for a baby or a human or even probably a dog, you could use this new app which is called, it's just called. Terry's also a great name for a dog.

Terry's a better name for a dog than a human. And a cat. Terry, a cat called Terry would be hilarious. Your cat should be called Terry because he Terry's up

everything in your bloody house. Yeah, he does. The destroyer. So if you need to name something, this is for humans but maybe you need to name something else. You can use an app

that's called Baby Name. It's just literally called Baby Name. And they're calling it the Tinder of baby name apps. Because you, so say, Fletch, we had a wild night. Yeah. And we got carried away and I've come back to your house. And for some reason, we've had sex and I'm pregnant now. Okay, right.

You know, we'll have to explain it to the listeners, but it's fine. We're having a baby. Okay, yeah. So we, we'll have to explain it to the listeners, but it's fine. We're having a baby. Okay, yeah. So we need to name this child. So you and I would download this app, Baby Name. Yeah. And you would put in some information about the baby. So you could put in its gender, which is a societal construct, but whatever.

You can put in its gender. You can put in your surname or the surname you plan on giving it and then it starts to bring up names you just swipe like yes or no i like like you swipe on tinder like you swipe on tinder and then if you and i who are expecting this child you know we're so nervous and like what are we going to do how we're going to raise it but whatever it's happening yeah you and i if we were to swipe yes on the same name, it would be a match. And then you would find out, you know,

what names you and your partner like. So it just chucks up a whole bunch of suggestions, basically. And so it links you and your partner on the app so that all the names you both like, you're kind of left with. Yeah, so all the names that pop up that you're not into, like Terry, for example. Terry is a great name.

I would swipe right. I don't know. I don't know how to use Tinder. Right? You'd swipe left if you don't like it, right if you like it. So I'd swipe left at Terry, or say I swipe right at Terry, and I was like, oh, I love the sound of Terry Fletcher, and you swipe right, it would say, boing,

it's a match between you and the child's father. And then you and I would know, oh my God, Terry's like, you know. The perfect name. Terry works. The perfect name, Terry works. Terry is a great name. Terry for our accidental baby after just, honestly, a wild

night. Yeah, yeah. It's quite good because, you know, like... Hayley did ask if she could leave the baby in the car park while she's out on the town, but you're not allowed

to do that. Oh, I'll like crank a window. What's it going to do to the baby? If it's in the underground car park at the casino, you don't want too much of those carbon monoxide fumes.

No, no, no, no, no. Just a little bit. Oh, my God, we joke, but people do this. Oh, I know, it's bloody bleak, I know. Yeah. They don't deserve to have Terry's. We've decided not to go through with it, haven't we? Well, you thought that, but I secretly didn't go ahead with the procedure.

We're having Terry, are we? We're having Terry. Okay, fantastic. Terry, you heard it here first, Terry. What, November? November 2024. Terry. Okay, great. Fantastic. Terry, you heard it here first. Terry, what? November. November 2024. It is November, yeah. That's when Terry's getting here. And I'm really hoping that Fletcher's

quite a hands-on father. Great, I'm excited. I've seen him hold a baby twice. Yeah, I try not to. It's not fun. They move and they smell. They do move. Yeah, they do move. 13 past 6. Next, producer Jared had a bit of a rude shock

in the frozen goods section of his freezer yesterday. Oh my lord. Sort of a precautionary One more time. One more time. Sort of a precautionary tale to be told now.

A tale of treading lightly in your freezer sort of a precautionary tale to be told now here at the show. A tale of treading lightly in your freezer because all is not as it seems. Producer Jared. Good morning. Good morning. Yesterday I had a hankering

for some chicky strips. Oh, beautiful. He's a little fella and he loves his chicken tenders. How are you doing your strips? In the air fryer. Oh, okay. The air fryer pressure is surrounding.

Like, I've always just been like, we don't really need an air fryer. No. You don't, Vaughan. Sade's mum's got one, and so we're hearing every day about how great they are. And of course, you guys have been witness to me saying something to Sade over and over

and over and over and over again. It gets ignored. Her mother says it once, even with half a breath whispered. And Sade's like, oh, we simply must. Yeah. Because of her mother's

recommendation. It feels like Aaron's on the line. Is this a woman thing on a whole? With women who get along with their mother? Yeah, if you suggest it,

it's a hard no. It's a terrible idea. The moment our mother's like, well, what about this? We'll be like, oh, my God, fantastic, Mum. Yes, you're right. I simply must. But, Vaughan, you don't need an air fryer because you're a real cook. You know how to cook properly.

Whoa. But also you have... Jared. It's a great point. But when you have a family, surely it would be so easy. What? Like fries and stuff would be so easy. Apparently you can do everything.

Apparently the other day we were told of a whole lot of eggs just being cracked into the dish and some things had hazardly thrown in and then a frittata came out. A frittata? A zero effort frittata. Oh my god a frittata. I've got you guys now. I've always wanted

one but I've got no space and I know I'd use it three times. It's not sexy enough to live on the bench. It's not a Kenwood mixer. It's not a Kenwood mixer. It's not a KitchenAid mixer. No, it's not a KitchenAid mixer. Actually, which is sexier?

They do do a sexy one. I think they do a sexy one now, yeah. No, KitchenAid is sexier. Kenwood do a pretty sexy... Yeah, right though. No, they're bulkier. They're bulkier. Trust me, I've worked on a baking show.

KitchenAid have made... have won Miss Mixer for the last like seven, eight years. They've won... I know, and I vote for them. Miss Mixer. Yeah. Little Miss Mixer.

Little Miss Mixer. I stopped watching it. It felt predatory. Yeah, Mixer Universe. It's not for you. It felt outdated, you know, Little Miss Mixer. Yeah, I know. When I was a young fella.

Boy, I love Little Miss Mixer. Oh my God, I know. Yeah, that was a different time though. So he's got his air fryer out and he thinks he's about to tuck into some delicious, and I'm guessing if they've been in the air fryer, crunchy crisp chicken tenders. Yeah, dog.

So the beauty thing with an air fryer is you don't have to preheat it. That's my argument for an air fryer. You slam it in, you raw dog. Yeah. Yeah. So I poured in my packet of chicky strips and set it up. 15 minutes. Yep, 15 minutes, 185 degrees.

Beautiful. Beautiful. I pulled out the chicky strips 15 minutes later. Yeah. Delicious looking. Crunchy. Golden. Were you dipping a sauce?

Did he have a sauce? I had a big ramekin of barbecue sauce. Yeah, okay. Oh, lovely. Barbecue. Classic. Yeah. Grabbed first chicky strip.

Mm-hmm. Dunk. Perfect glaze. Yeah. To the mouth. Gorgeous. Lovely. Take a bite. Oh, what could go wrong? grabbed first chicky strip mm-hmm dunk perfect glaze yeah Oh, what could go wrong? It's it's vegan. Oh no Plenty stuff Accidentally by they seen now so I bought delicious teagle takeout chicken strips. Oh yeah, I must have finished them

the MIDI of delicious teagull takeout chicken strips. Oh, yeah. I must have finished them. The middy of pescatarian took her fake chicken strips and put them in my real chicken strip box. That bitch. Oh, leave that woman. Leave her. What's the thought process? She's nice and hot, but it's not worth it. That sounds like an unforgivable mistake.

Her ones don't come in a nice package. No, they do, which is why I was like, it didn't even cross my mind to be like, hmm, are these real chicken? Am I a real chicken box? Yeah, of course not. Why would you think that? Do they not look like your usual ones though?

It's been a minute since I've had chicky strips. If they're the only ones in the box. Yeah, like why question it? Yeah. Why? I know. Yeah. So yeah, I guess chicky strip PSA, keep an eye out.

Because like vegan beef and stuff, they're doing quite well, right, on the mince and whatnot, which is good for you, Fletch. They're not doing good on the mince. They're not doing good on mince. I think that vegan chicken is better than vegan mince. Oh, no, vegan chicken's so bad. It's so stringy. No, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong.

It's string. You're eating the chip chip. Why have they got yarn in there? Why is there yarn in the chicken? You're leaving, you're wrong, you're wrong. It's string. You're eating the chip chip. Why has it got yarn in there? Why is there yarn in the chicken? You're leaving the string in. You meant to take the string off the packaging. Oh, you're not supposed to eat the string? Nah, that's...

I don't know, but it's hard to tell where the string ends and where the chicken starts. It's hard. Oh, gosh. Well, just be careful out there. Oh, my gosh. Poor Jared's had a mouthful of bloody paper mache or whatever's in that, and he's not happy. So what did you do poor Jared's had a mouthful of bloody paper mache or whatever's in that.

So what did you do, Jared? Did you bin him? Yeah, well, I ate most of them because I was quite hungry and then I just toddled off down to the local supermarket and grabbed some real chicky strips. I had chicky strip round two. Oh, you did round two? What are we having with the chicky

strips? What are you serving with? It must be some vegetables, some leafy. What are we having with the chicky strips? What are you serving with? It must be some vegetables, some leafy greens? Nah, Doc. Straight chicky strips. Oh, okay. This is an afternoon tea. I'm not hitting all the major food groups.

That was afternoon. This wasn't dinner? Nah. Wait, so for afternoon tea, you're having vegan chicky strips and then real chicky strips. Yeah, and I'll tell you what. Real chicky strips put you to sleep. Oh, really?

Hell of a nap afterwards. Good stuff. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Silly little poe Silly little poe It is so silly, silly, silly That the silly little poe

Silly little poe Silly little poe Silly, silly, silly, that silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. What do you listen to whilst reading? I'm nothing. I can't have the TV on. Even music, it's a bit distracting.

No. Because even reading, I get sidetracked and I start thinking about things and then I'm a few pages. Yes, and you've got to go reread the page. Yeah, always. Yeah. I hate that when you get like three pages ahead and you're like, hang on, I haven't ingested any of this. Yeah, back, back, back.

Back we go. Same with like audio books. I'm like, okay, I've definitely missed the last like 10 minutes. Not reading, hon. Not reading, it's not. No, that is reading. No, it's not even in part of the same conversation.

You listen to a smart podcast. That is reading. Unless you're reading along with it like you used to when you were a kid. Oh, you know it's time to turn the page when you hear this sound. Yeah. Well, 87% of people have spoken with silence. Silence is the overwhelming thing people listen to while reading.

9% of people said music. 3% of people are mad. TV and movies going in the background. What? No. I like TV and movies in the background for like almost nearly anything. Like if I'm working or writing,

I need some background noise. But reading, I cannot be distracted. Even tight, like when we do prep in the afternoons for the show and I'm like online, even music then, I'm like, nah. It's got to be. Oh, do you?

Oh, no, I don't mind that. I get too sidetracked. It's very easy to get distracted. Yeah. That's what I always look to. It's encapsulating stuff. Maybe you guys have ADHD. I've just diagnosed you.

Oh, no. Yeah. I have the ability to do that. 1% of people said other. I hope we hear from them in the comments. Michaela says, silence, little brain, do be a dum-dum. Little brain, do be a dum-dum. Little brain, do be a dum-dum.

Little brains recognize that little brains are dum-dum there. That's a big step for little dum-dum, right? Yeah, good stuff. We've seen it. Hallie says, whatever new book I'm reading, I'll see if anyone has made a playlist inspired by the book and I listen to it while reading. Oh.

Interesting. It's like you've got a movie soundtrack. Great idea. Like, if you were reading like a Bridgerton style book, you'd have little sort of, you know, strings. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Yeah. Ding, ding, ding, little harpsichords.

A little of the time. Oh my gosh. Yeah. That's amazing. That's great thinking. That's really smart. Uh, Nicole, hubby watches his car shit so I guess that counts as TV

but it's blissfully boring so I can focus on my book. It's also kind of like a brown noise like a If he's just watching people driving cars they might be talking about

The car crash is a great but like that don't happen that much. Michaela said white noise baby. That's what I wonder if it blocks out everything. That's actually quite

like a clever way of being able to concentrate on the Okay. But I've conditioned myself I'd probably fall asleep. Yeah. No that's brown noise.

White noise is like I still reckon I'm not off. It's quite harsh isn't it? It's very harsh. Heather says lo-fi all the way. What does that mean? Raw dog.

Raw dog. Silence, I reckon. Silence. Yeah, she likes silence. Is this even an option? It has to be silent or someone's got rocks in their head. Yeah. Michaela's reading between the lines there.

Reading. Get it, guys? Anyway, Sam says I have a lot of fantasy novels, so I'll often find soundtracks of something whimsical on TV Interesting Like if I'm reading a fantasy novel And they're just like hanging out It's fairy garden music

Or like a hobbit hole atmospheric music Oh, okay, that's kind of cool That kind of adds to it, yeah I like that a lot Yeah, you would Trish, while I'm reading I listen to my boyfriend's yapping As soon as I open a book, he starts yapping at me.

Love him, but he won't stop yapping. Aw, he just wants to talk. Hey, as I thought, what playlist would I put on for my horny books? More like bam, bam, bam. It would again depend the setting. It'd be true. Am I in the forest or am I in a mafia? And I feel like there'd be so many. Am I in the forest or am I in a mafia? And I feel like

there'd be so many playlists for that already online. Okay, lo-fi that we mentioned before. Follow up. Lo-fi is lo-fi hip hop radio

beats to relax or study to and it's specific music written for people to chill out and listen to. Okay. Oh my God,

it's a whole genre. Yeah. Lo-fi girl has 14.2 million subscribers on YouTube. I do have a little something here. I'm in the mic, guys. This is live. This is live.

This is happening live on YouTube. Someone's making this music. I like that. See, that would be good to read, too. Oh, I don't have that plugged in. Oh, so was that Hayley? That was me. That's Hayley Jane.

Hayley Jane. Well, pass it over to Vaughn was me. That's Hayley Jane. Hayley Jane. Well, pass it over to Vaughn Allen. I was raw-dogging it into the mic. Oh, you were just raw-dogging it. This is the dreariest music I've ever heard in my life. No, it makes me want to jump off a bridge. Fletch is telling me to turn it up. No, the idea is it's supposed to be low background music.

He's like, crank it up and drop the bass. We need to drop some bass. Can we get some lyrical here? We up and drop the bass. Crank it. We need to drop some bass. Can we get some lyrical here? We need to drop in the beat. Oh, God. That is so nothing. I liked your one better.

This one's too slow. This is just what she's doing right now. And so you... No, I don't like that. I don't like that. Where are we? Okay. Well, look, hey, read to whatever you want, right?

Oh, Lo-Fi Girl's got other... Oh, Lo-Fi Girl's a whole thing, guys. I'm just having a look. Erotic books. Synthwave radio, peaceful piano radio, music to study to. It's all go at Lo-Fi Girl on YouTube. Get yourself some background music. She's done it all.

You can pick for whatever occasion you need. Although, as our poll's showing, what, 86, 87% don't, just nothing when they read. Guys, I found a playlist. Roll it up. It's called Central Tantra Beats. Oh, okay. Now, I wonder if this is for your sexy books.

Okay. Oh, it's a bit boring. Does that make you want to get down and dirty? Too slow to hump, too. Kind of a bit like the IRD hold music. Yeah. I think it's more of a bump and grind than a hump, my love. I didn't know the IRD was trying to horn us up.

Yeah, I know how to do that. But maybe they'll encourage you that because you're going to be on hold for so long, you might as well bust one out. You might as well. At least one. Yeah, imagine being... You've got time. At the point of climax and they're like,

hello, how can we help you You'd be like Wait a minute Never GST Now you wait for me Well it was basically A week ago wasn't it That we were actually

All in the studio I'm in In the Wellington studio And we were doing the show and we had the bloody Piers Morgan interview on in the background. That's right. With Martha,

the real life Martha from Baby Reindeer. whose name is Fiona Harvey. Now, that interview was such a dish. Like it was, oh my God, it was so cringey

and awkward and revealing and now like everyone's like, what does it mean? What does it mean? So six days ago that video came out, 11 million views. I would have thought more. Yeah. Although I'm assuming a lot of it would have been cut down a million times into snippets

on TikTok and Instagram. People just didn't that as much. Yeah, true dat, homie. True dat, homie. Do you know what, homie? Actually, homie, true dat. True dat. Tupac out.

True dat. Now, do you know one of the main things we said after, because we were watching it, right, and we were just like, oh, my God, this is so juicy. We were like, how much did she get paid? Because you think about those Oprah interviews or those big reveals or those, you know,

like huge interview gets. You hear a price and you'd be like, oh, they paid a million dollars. You're like, oh my God, of course they did. Well,

apparently, she was offered 250 pounds. So that's like $500. That's not a lot. That's not a lot. That's not enough. So this is, Piers Morgan.

Which makes it even more exploitive than it kind of already has been branded a very unethical interview. Homie, that's right, homie. Tupac out. Tupac out, homie. You're so right. You're spot on, my dog. But so the interesting thing about this, right, and you know this if you work in the entertainment industry, you don't do anything until you've got a contract.

Holla that. Holla that. Holla that. Homie, she ain't got no contract. Holla, we want prenups. So she just agreed to do it for 250 pounds. Yeah. So it was like she said she was offered 250 pounds

by Piers Morgan's, you know, team. Yeah. But it sounds like they never really agreed to that. Oh, my God. So she's jumped on and given it all away, basically, and now is like, well, it's done so well, you know, so many people are watching this, I want a million dollars. But that's not how it works, my love.

My homie, that's not how it works. You're not getting residuals. This isn't Sandra Bullock's deal with gravity. Piers Morgan has made her a cup of tea and now he's stuck with her. Yeah. Yes. And you know what?

Couldn't have been to a nicer guy. He reached out an olive branch and she is now, she said she'll settle for a seven figure offer. But I was like, but they won't pay it. You've already done it. He wouldn't have even made that back from how much money do you

get for 11 million views on YouTube? Well, they, in this article I'm reading, they said about if you convert to New Zealand dollars about 500,000. So like coin. Just coin, yeah. about $500,000. So like, coin. Just coin, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But for, so like, she's not going to get this money. But I was like, you've already done the interview. They actually don't need to pay you anything. They've got what they want from you. Yeah. $250 it is. And have you seen that she's come out being like, I felt exploited and it didn't go the way that I wanted

and, you know, she's been reading all the reviews online of it. Who would have guessed the woman who stalked somebody would have wanted to make more out of something? Yeah, I know. Not me. I know. Not Tupac. No, not me, homie.

Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Well, I've just looked up the origins of the expression, the phrase, no bells or whistles. Yeah.

Oh, interesting. It's about trains. You'd say the train, they bells or whistles. Yep. Oh, interesting. It's about trains. They would say the trains have got all the bells and whistles because bells and whistles were like things steam locomotives had. So if a train didn't have all the bells and whistles...

It was done on the cheap. It was a cheaper train. It wasn't a cheap train. They were cutting costs where they could. No bells and whistles. It's not expensive to put a bell or a whistle on a train, surely? No. How much is a bell or a whistle? Maybe like a nice brass.

Oh, a nice one. A nice polished brass bell on the back of the caboose. Well, yesterday the Prime Minister said there will be no bells or whistles in this year's budget, which is on the 30th of May. Yeah. I'm such a party pooper. I know. Hey, this is a

non- It's a bipartisan presentation Hayley. Neither left nor right. Party pooper. That sounded like a very left thing to say. I'll balance it out. It's about bloody time. Yeah, yeah. What about us landlords?

Okay. Did you see that video during the rounds last weekend of that delivery van that was literally cut in half by a train? Oh, I've seen some videos on that. Was anyone in it? Yeah, a dude was in it. He was the guy that drove it on the tracks. But the front half kind of like spun around and skidded off.

Which is great news for the Warriors because whenever they blow their whistle, they're always out to get us.

Yeah. Speaking of which, Sunday, up the wars. Five losses on the trot. Simply can't handle six in a row. I'm off the bandwagon. Please beat Penrith and Brisbane. Number one on the list of the top six things that won't have bells or whistles in this year's budget. Cute European cows.

You know where the cow bells are on the net? No bells for them. No, they move to New Zealand, they have to give in their bells. They'll then be melted down. Yep. And used for metal reserves. Yeah, for other things. But no bells or whistles in this year's budget.

That's today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Don't you find it embarrassing when you go on someone's Wikipedia page and it's got their photo and it's like Malik in 2015. That's like nine years ago, my dude. Yeah, maybe he doesn't have anyone updating his Wikipedia page. Oh. Have you guys got, have guys got one? Nah.

Oh my god, how embarrassing. Why is it embarrassing? It doesn't... Oh, wow. I didn't realise I was on air with a couple of absolute nobodies. I'm not looking up your Wikipedia page. I'm absolutely happy about that. What does Hayley's Wikipedia say?

It doesn't even have a photo on it. It doesn't have a photo. That's embarrassing. We might edit that. I might have to chuck one up. Wait, you didn't start your Wikipedia page, did you? Looks like it. Looks like it.

I didn't start it. Oh my God, it's been edited. So it's, my friend did it one night when we were out drinking. And he started it and he put in all this stuff from like high school about the Shakespeare stuff. And he did it as a joke. And then people have updated it since then. Right. You know, all the things that I've done, all the great, amazing things I've done.

But they've left this Shakespeare thing on. It's the top of my biography that I went to this like high school Shakespeare thing. Anyway, I'm talking about this because I went on Zayn Malik's, because that's who I want to talk about, his Wikipedia. Yeah. And it's got a picture from 2015. Yeah. Someone needs to update that. Shall I do it?

Shall I take it upon myself? Sure. Okay. Well, he was talking on a podcast. He was revealing all. One of the weird things he said was that he's never truly been in love. And I was like, weren't you with Gigi Hadid for like eight years and you had a kid?

Yeah, like. You'd be a bit, even though they're not together. It feels like, I'm just giggling. Are you choking? I'm a little emotional about One Direction. When they broke up,

it had worn hard. I haven't seen him that sad. How are you with, Really? That feels like a bitter thing that he said just to hurt her. It does, yeah. Oh, because they've had a bitter thing that he said just to hurt her. It does, yeah. Oh, because they've had a sour breakup, right?

It's been sour. It was not good. It's been sour. I saw a lot of headlines from this interview. Was it just an hour of him just telling all? Little bit. A little bit. And so one of the interesting things,

so yeah, he said he's never really been in love. He never really knew himself because he was young when he was on X Factor with Harry Styles, I believe is his name. And then just kind of got thrust into the spotlight. Yeah, grew up in front of the world, really. Yeah, yeah. And so apparently his parents, I was looking up because I was like, what kind of delicious mix of brown is he? And I think he's Irish Pakistani, which is chef's kiss.

Yeah. Pakistan Irish. Pakistan Irish, I believe it's called. Yeah, Pakistan Irish. And yeah, he was saying like, because he was so young

and then his parents were like, you've got to grow up quickly. And so he got into a relationship and like moved in with someone immediately and then met Gigi and then like had a baby. And then he was like, no, but I've never really been in love. Right.

And didn't he say they all resent each other? All the One Direction boys? Yeah. Well, apparently, I mean, God, you would resent Harry Styles, aka like the hottest, you know, biggest star. And the talented one. But then Zayn was the first to leave One Direction, correct me if I'm wrong.

That's what Harry said, wasn't it? Yeah. What do you call One Direction. Correct me if I'm wrong. That's what I heard. You were there. What do you call One Directioners? What's their name? The fans? One Directioners. D is. One D is. One D.

One D is. Directionators. Double Ds. What were they called? Producers? Directioners. Yeah, Directioners. Oh, that sucks.

That's lame. Yeah, they should have worked on that. You suck. Excuse me. I caught that. Oh, that sucks. That's lame. Yeah, they should have worked on that. You suck. You suck. Excuse me, I caught that. I caught that. You suck. How about you suck? I hope he felt it.

Oh, my God. It's like arguing with Directioners back in the day. Did they play three Run Direction songs in a row? I'm sorry, we can't do that. You suck. You suck. Yeah, you do suck. Why wouldn't you do that?

I was not in charge of the music and I still don't remain. Please don't take me back to the traumatic time in my life where I was constantly dealing with phone calls from One Directioners. Yeah. Everybody that was working on radio at the time has got memories. Yeah. All right. Well, another thing that Zayn Malik said is he's been banned from Tinder

at least a couple of times. And everyone was like, what are you doing on Tinder, man? He was like, looking for a girlfriend, what do you think? And then he'd have pictures of Zayn Malik, because I'm Zayn Malik and then everyone was like, why are you putting up pictures of Zayn Malik, you poser? And so what, people would report him because they think that

someone was just catfishing them. Yeah, and he was like, no. Even if it was a, like, what do they call it, a verified profile? Like you scan your face or take a photo of your no. But wouldn't, even if you, even if it was like, what do they call it? A verified profile. Like you scan your face or take a photo of your face. But desperate. People just didn't believe it. Sounds like Hayley setting up her own Wikipedia page.

No, but it's to like stop people catfishing. Because then if you don't match your photos, it doesn't give you the blue tick. Right. So, but even though he would have. Why isn't he on that Raya one? Yeah, because what's the celebrity dating thing? The one that Carwin tried to get on but won't get accepted.

You suck. Can we say that Carwin sucks? She didn't get accepted because she sucks? What happened there? So Bryn is on it. Bryn Rudd the newsreader is on Raya the celebrity dating app.

I don't know if he's actually currently on it, but he has. Oh my God, we must talk to him about this. Oh,

we must simply sit down and scan through celebrities. Oh my God, yes, because I was like,

shall I sign up so we can see who's on there? But let's just get Bryn. But so you need lots of referrals. So he referred me,

but to actually get accepted, you need like, I need all of you guys, I need like a bunch of other people to actually refer me. Right. Well, because we're more famous than you, Hon.

Should we go on? I don't know if you heard, Carwen. Hayley's got her own Wikipedia page. They do. They ask for your Instagram handle. Hang on. Just looking up Carwen on Wikipedia. Oh, page not found.

If I give them my Instagram handle, they'll see my pesky wife and family. Yeah. Oh, that's not sexy. They'll see your verified tics. Yeah. I don't have a verified tic. wife and family. Yeah. Oh, that's not sexy. They'll see your verified tics. Yeah. I don't have a verified tic. Also, don't... Oh, sweetie.

Oh, Jesus. I don't either. Someone please give me a blue tic and a Wikipedia page and a stack. Also, don't tend to have that really expensive one

that's like $2,000 a month or something. Yeah, something like that. For this very reason. I'm going to get Raya. I'm going off. We need an interview, but can you ask Bryn if he's allowed to talk about it? You're not. Because I feel like talking about it

is bad. What do you mean you're not? They kick you off if you talk about it, if you post about it. Girlies only ever do, because you can't screenshot on the app. And if you try to screenshot it, it alerts the app and they block you. Oh my god. Well, can you talk to Bryn? If he's not on it, maybe he'll dish the beans.

Dish the beans? Spill the tea. Dish the beans? Dish the beans? There's no beans. Why are we getting dished up beans? Is it hard times, is it? Maybe he'll dish up some delicious beans.

Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, Hayley said before she loves a gel. I love a gel. What a beautiful consistency. What, like a... Anything. Saw muscle gel? Yeah, saw muscle gel.

Like a Voltaren gel? Yeah, lovely. Yeah. Oh, great consistency. What about a gel packet if you're doing some exercise and they give you one of those? I don't exercise for them. Okay. Why would I need that? To those? I don't exercise for them. Okay.

Why would I need that? To those that celebrate. To those that celebrate. Those sugary gels. Those ones with electrolytes that get into you. Oh, yep, yep. I've had those before. They're good.

Yeah. Yeah. Hair gel. Hair gel. Hair gel. Yes, hair gel. God, that's a good consistency. That's good stuff.

Well, there's a new gel and you ingest this gel. It coats your stomach, making your stomach unable to absorb alcohol and put booze into your blood system. Okay. Blood system? That didn't feel right. Your bloodstream. Yeah.

Bloodstream. Spill the beans, babe. Spill the beans. Put it into your circulatory system, your blood system. No, doesn't sound right. Bloodstream's the best option there, Vaughan. Well done. Moving forward.

So the alcohol just passes straight through you. It doesn't get absorbed into. And so it means you don't get drunk. But you don't get drunk, so what's the point? What's the point? Just have a soda water. Yeah. It's to relax.

Just have soda water. Take the edge off. It's relaxing and chill out and get your buzz on. Get your buzz on, my homie. Chill out and get your buzz on. It does raise that question, doesn't it? You're just spending a lot of money to poo and wee it out. Yeah.

You know, now some people do enjoy a beverage for the taste. Like, you know, like a wine connoisseur. A wine, like a nice fine wine, but they don't want the buzz. enjoy a beverage for the taste. Like, you know, like a wine connoisseur. A wine, like a nice fine wine, but they don't want the buzz. They want to have the taste. But other than that. Well, people love like, you know, all those fancy beers. Craft beers.

Craft beers. Yeah. Yes. Just on a whole, we're really struggling with words today. I know. It's okay. Everybody has these days. It's okay, guys.

We're just going to go with it, you know. Don't judge it too harshly. It's not like our jobs rely on words coming out of our mouths and some sort of sequence that makes sense and hopefully brings joy to people's mornings. So it's fine. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Fumbling and bumbling our way around this stupid language.

Fumbling and bumbling. There was a review of our show. I tuned into Fleet Four and Hayley. Three people fumbling and bumbling their way through the morning. This show has been, before your time, Hayley, we were reviewed once. The show was reviewed once. Yeah, it was reviewed once. It was bizarre, wasn't it?

They referred to Fletch as the guffawing host. And I've never forgotten. Guffawing. If I had a Wikipedia page, that would be on there. It would say that. Gaforing for those unfamiliar because I'd never heard the word at the stage I did. I love Gafor. Loudly and

heartily. Both men Gafored at the remark is the example used at Dictionary.com. Oh, fantastic. The Gaforing host, Fletcher. This was also a review by someone who's never done a radio show in their life. Yeah. Like, you know. Yeah, I know.

And they listened to one show. Yeah. Those who can't review. Those who can't, comma, review. Those who can't semi-colon. No, not the right answer. I was going to say, colon. There you go, bumbling and fumbling your way through the English language again.

Now we're not only talking about the words, but also the punctuation. There's so much bumbling happening. Fumbling, bumbling. So, anyways, this gel is being invented. It's not available yet. Yeah, it's in the testing stage and stuff. Okay. I just don't see the point.

Have a soda water. Have a Fanta. It's a nanozyme, a marvel of molecular engineering that takes its cues from nature's own design principles. Oh, shut up. Blah, blah, blah. That just sounds like a whole bunch of scientific bumbling and fumbling. And guffawing.

Play ZM's Fletch Von Anele. Play ZM. Oh, my God. Okay. So I think this is Amazon Prime, I believe, has confirmed that there is a series called Elle, which has been in development and is, of course, the prequel to Legally Blonde.

Ma'am, Dad, or Mummy and Daddy. Mama, Mother. Yeah, but some people don't, do they? Some people even call their parents by their first name. So disrespectful. Katie Peary has revealed that her daughter, with Orlando Bloom, who's three, calls her... What's its name?

It's something like Daisy. Sunshine Rainbow. Daisy Dove Rainbow. It's Daisy Dove. Daisy Dove Bloom. Daisy Dove Bloom. Daisy Dove. Or Perry.

Daisy Dove Perry Bloom. Perry Bloom. Bloom. Bloom. Well, Daisy Dove is three and she calls Katy Perry, Katy Perry. I know. First name, last name. Yeah, Katy Perry was like, I'm mum.

I've got no idea. Just that it's Katy Perry. It's parents, because you know how you short Terrence to Terry. Yeah. Oh, my God. Catherine Elizabeth Hudson. Wow. So Catherine Hudson.

Catherine Hudson. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, God. You know, that's not a pop star's name, is it? Yeah. But it got us talking about, like, what people call their parents, just around here. And Shannon, when she talks to her parents, it's first names.

Always has been, yeah. Ever since I was a kid, and I remember my friend's mum telling me off, saying it was disrespectful. Yes. My parents and I, we've always just done it because I kind of viewed them more as friends than parents. Our relationship was very low-key. There was no rules, no strictness.

So they've always just been Bev and Collie to me. Bev and Collie? Yeah. Because I was like, an answer of what we're having for tea. What's for tea tonight? Bit of Bev and Collie. Yes, a mesh Collie. I just, yeah, calling them mum and dad feels weird.

And when I refer to them to other people, they know them as their first name as well. So, yeah, they're just my mates. I call my parents my first name when I'm being silly. Patsy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I'm telling my mum off for saying something that she definitely shouldn't have said 20 years ago,

let alone this year, I'm like, Christine, no, no, no. We don't say that anymore. It's just mum and dad. It was so peculiar. Yeah, it's always mum and dad. I can't ever imagine being like, hey, Craig. Yeah. Or other names.

Like, I've had lots of friends, you know, they've got, like, versions of names. Like, one of my friends is Papa. Like, because he's Maori, and so it's mum and papa. And I was like, oh, that's cute. Or you pick a name. I think we open up the phone lines and take some calls now. I'll 800-DONALDS-IT-M, text through 9696.

What do you call your parents? Aaron calls his parents Ma and Pa. What? I know. That's your mother's name, the Berenstain Bears. Yeah. Oh, no. Isn't it sweet?

Ma and Pa, Berenstain. Ma and Pa. So if it's not mum or dad, what do you call your parents? Yeah, don't text them if it's mum and dad. No. That's boring. No. We want to know, is it first name?

Are there nicknames? Wow. Is it something outrageous? My daughters call me by my first name. I asked one day, and the youngest explained it was because I was and am a hopeless mother, and it's to remind me that I haven't earned the title. Jesus. Hell. Savage. It was because I was and am a hopeless mother and it's to remind me that I haven't earned the title. Jesus! Hell!

Savage. Oh, my God. Wow. I hope you cut off their ciggies. When they say that to you, I hope you stop buying them ciggies. Absolutely ruthless. What a...

Wow. Keep your texts coming in. 9696. Give us a call. 0800-DARLS-IT-M. If it's not mum or dad that you call your parents, what is it? Do you have cute nicknames? Is it first names?

Whatever. Let us know. We have asked the question, what do you call your parents if it's not just plain old mum and dad? Because Katy Perry's daughter, Dove Blossom Plastic Face, she calls her mum Katy Perry, first name, last name. Yeah, and Katie Perry has revealed that she's like, no, I'm mum. Because that's a

stage name. It's not even her real name. Her name's Catherine Hudson, as we learnt. Alicia, what do you call your mum and dad? So my mum's name's Juanita, and I call her Wins, for short. And my dad's name's Tony, and I call him either Nail or Toenail.

Oh, yeah, classic nickname there for the Tonys. Toenail, Tony, Toenail. And Wyn, and Mum's Wyn. And so you've never called them Mum and Dad, like, for a long time? No. Every time I see them, I'm like, hi, Wyn, hi, Nail. Wow. That's pretty cute. That's pretty cute.

That's pretty cute. Give them their own little... Can I just fill up this for a laugh with them? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Alicia, thank you. Message is in. My mum, we called Muppet,

and at some point it got changed to Guppet because she went from mum, Muppet, to grandma. Oh, yeah. Guppet. Okay. I know someone who's always called their mum Krusty. It stuck. She's done it since she was a kid

because she was old and Krusty. I've called my mum Poo since I was a kid because I said once that she was warm and squishy like a poo. Still call her that now and I'm almost 40. I don't squish poo. My biological parents have always been Mum and Brian.

One time when I was eight, my school teacher sat me down and asked me when my dad died. Because she thought that I would have called my dad Dad, but I called my dad Brian. Oh, so he must not be the real dad. She assumed he wasn't my biological father. Yeah, because I thought Brian was the stepdad. No, Brian's Dad Dad.

Brian's Dad Dad, okay. Yes. Both's dad dad. Brian. It's just Brian. Both genetic and raising. Biologically, the whole situation, he's dad, but I always just called him Brian. Interesting that you call your mum mum, but not your dad dad. Yeah.

Mum and Brian. But is there any reason why they're called Brian? No, no major backstory. Just the story about the teacher asking when dad died. How's about the teacher asking for the goss on that, eh? Yeah. Yeah, also just assuming the Dad's dead. How bizarre.

Well, I am a little bit. I am a little bit. I am a little bit. But her brother turned 101 yesterday. Uncle Graham turned 101 yesterday. I love living a healthy life, but I don't want to live to 90 or 100. That's too much. I want to get to 100 for sure. Okay, you're not going to get to 100.

If you're in good nick, but I don't want to be a dribbly. Uncle Graham's pretty sharp. I know, yeah. Uncle Graham's pretty good for 101. But you know, you see some of them, they're dribbly. Uncle Graham's pretty sharp. I know, yeah. Uncle Graham's really good for 101. But, you know, you see some of them, they're dribbly. They don't know where they are. You see them packed in those buses going to the mall. Oh, no.

If you can still go to the mall, you're probably all right. Yeah, but you get to the mall and you don't know where you are. Yeah, when they start taking you out of the two-bedroom retirement unit and start pushing you towards the hospital wing of the retirement village. Oh, no. That's when I'll punch out. When your big trip of the month is to go to Muffin Break in the middle of a mall, I'm all good, you know?

Yeah. I'm all good. Just leave me be. I went on a contiki once. Okay, Grandad, let's get you a bloody panini and back to the retirement village. So she's turning 90 years old. Wow. And I don't know what to get her for her 90th birthday.

Satisfy a pro too. Absolutely. How dare you? Absolutely. How dare you? You're in our studio. Probably some lubricant. There were some shock looks on the producer's faces when you just said that.

This is a 90-year-old Catholic woman. Oh, for God's sake. The woman's entitled to a little bit of pleasure. Oh, don't get me wrong. I just don't want to talk about it. Okay. Because she's even got to the point now where she's started giving stuff back to the people that gave it. What, because she's going to die soon?

That's horrible. They do. They start bloody getting rid of things. Oh, floaty ass. It's just another thing to dust, I think she told me about something. And she was like, oh, I'm just racking my brain to see who gave me and your grandfather this thing for a wedding anniversary some time ago. I'm like, I reckon they're probably dead.

Yeah. I'll have it. She's got this rad whiskey decanter in a train. It's like a train, really well-made train. I really gasped so hard at that that I'm choking. A whiskey decanter in a train and it's got like nice little glasses

down the side of the train. Is it nice? Is it nice? Because it sounds really tacky. I think it's nice because when I was a kid it was one of those things you... It sounds bad.

It sounds tacky. It wouldn't have been cheap. And they've got a really nice like wooden detailed drinks trolley. Okay. Oh, I'll take that. That was nice. Can I put a sticker on that?

No. Because that's the thing. People put stickers on, don't they? That's rude. That's rude. If they dish out the stickers, that's okay. Are we allowed to talk about the stickers? Aren't you stickering at Nan's place?

Carwin? No, no, no. She's doing it. She's doing it. I stickered. It's all right if they're stickering, but you just can't rock it it It's alright if they're stickering but you just can't rock it to their house and they're like, what are you doing? And you've got one of those rolls of stickers

and you're like Carwins, Carwins I'm blue, Sam's red Yeah, yeah, no, every Sultan should be like, I'll make sure that that's yours, and I'm like, grandma What's grandma stickered for you, Carwin? I don't actually know

Is it anything you want? Yeah, but it won't be like the stuff that needs to be stickered. Do you know what I mean? Like I want the nice, yeah. We did sneaky stickering. Yeah, grands love an elephant statue or a dolphin, don't they? They love that kind of stuff. Yeah, a swan, a sort of glass swan.

Never really had the dolphins. Cabinets full of plates and stuff. Nan had that crown this makes it sound like I'm going down this weekend to just pilfer all of her belongings I'm simply not she had that

crown lin crown lin that's what it was the swans the white swan things right we broke the neck off that as a kid why don't you get her another swan

she doesn't want any stuff though what about an experience Vaughn like a hot air ballooning that's why you satisfy a pro is the way to go get out of it hot air ballooning no she's why you satisfy a pro is the way to go. Get out of it. Hot air ballooning.

No, she won't want to do that. Oh, no. Jet boating. No, she won't want to do that. Yeah, what about the shot over jet in Queenstown? That would be a blast. Lovely excitement, but she doesn't want to do that. What about a massage or a spa or something?

She won't want to do that. 90-year-olds don't get rubs. No, no, because everything's just holding it. You'll break the skin. Yeah. You can do your break the skin. Well, look, I don't know. I'm trying here.

I'm trying too. What about just food? Take her out for a morning tea. Yes. No, because it'll spoil the lunch. What about high tea? What about high tea up the Sky Tower? Bring her up to Auckland.

She doesn't want to come up to Auckland. What about a poem? Last time she came up, she had some observations she wanted to share with me that didn't sit well. About the demographics of Auckland Central. Yeah, okay, Nan.

A little bit like that. It's not the 1940s. A little bit like that. She knows your wife's Chinese, hasn't she? A little bit like that. Well, I remember when she braved to ask me.

What is she? How did she word that? No, I think she, that mum must have said. Oh, yeah, okay. Shade is not Maori. She's Chinese. Right. She she... Mum must have said. Oh, yeah. Okay. Shade is not Maori. She's Chinese. Right.

She's half Thai Chinese. Okay. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. No, I shouldn't say that. I've never ever mentioned it. No.

Yeah. Now, so what... What do you... Flowers? Yeah, flowers. They die. The flowers die, though, and that's what... Chocolates?

Yeah, but they love... Chockeys. Some nice chockeys. Yeah, just do flowers and chockeys. Flowers and chockeys. It just doesn't seem good enough for a 90th. That's a hell of an occasion. What about perfume?

We won't use it. We should go out. Jared's just said an uddy. How embarrassing. Jared, you're bloody... You're trying to get into an oodie when you're 90. You'll trip over and break your neck and die. And then Vaughn, you'll never get out of it.

Vaughn's giving her the gift of death. I thought old people were always cold. They are. They are. Slippers. No, slippers. New slippers. What about some nice new slippers?

I feel like that's ticked. That's ticked off. Mum will be getting her slippers. Mum always gets her slippers. Get her one of those cool faux mink wolf blankets from the warehouse. Oh, for God's sake. Sade said a nice shawl to keep her warm. That's just a way of saying, look at you.

What about one of those digital photo frames? You know, like you can email it and it will update the photo so you can send new photos of the girlies to it. I see. Technology's hard, though. She doesn't have to do anything. It just sits there. This is of the girlies to it. I see. Technology's hard, though. You know, they won't... She doesn't have to do anything. It just sits there.

This is my nan's approach to photos. She moved from one house on the farm to the back house when my granddad passed away. And to another house. And I said, oh, I'd love to, like, go through the family photos and you can, like, tell me about your family and, like, show me photos of, like, mum when she was young. She's like, I think I threw them out.

Okay. I was like, those are, like, when she was young. She's like, I think I threw them out. Okay. I was like, those are like, you passed those on to us. That's our connection to our family. She's like, I don't need those. She's like, the boxes were heavy. I love that. Ah, the boxes were heavy. For my pop's 90th, we bought him a brand new Lazy Boy.

Because, you know, he has this cherry set there. No, but she'll go back. She won't be able to get back up, down. She won't be able to get it down. No, but it was one specifically. We had it all raised and stuff, you know, he has his cherry sits in. No, but she'll go back, she won't be able to get back up, down. No, but it was one specifically, we had it all raised and stuff, you know. Thousands of dollars. Flowers and chocolate. We all chipped in. That'd need to be a group gift. I think I need to hit the family

chat. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Well, we were talking earlier on the show about the fact that Zayn Malik from One Direction did an interview where he said that he's been kicked off Tinder several times because people think it's not him. They think they're being catfished by someone using Zayn Malik's photos. Because of course you would.

Have you seen the trash on Tinder? And suddenly Zayn Malik's there? You're like, okay. We're reporting him as a catfish and not being real and so he's like, oh I keep getting kicked off Tinder. And that's when we mentioned the app Raya. Do people have this reaction

when they come across you on Tinder, Fletcher? And this simply can't be. Is that radio star Carl Fletcher? Surely not. The guffawing host? The guffawing host. Oh, my God.

Surely he's elbow deep in the poos, you know? Surely. He's drowning in it. Hayley Sproul. Hayley Sproul. Now, you're not here to read the eyes. You can't see our eyes, but they just lit up. You be careful, please.

I apologise for Hayley's comments there. Sorry. Now, Bryn Rydekin, our newsreader, joins us in studio, who famously we've had him before because you dated your clairvoyant. No, he went on. Ah, Jake. Oh, now hang on a sec. I need to get you a microphone, don't I?

That'll help. She's on your line. Can you just move to that one there, Bryn, please? Sorry, Bryn. There we go. Is that going to mess up your cameras? Yes, hello, Bryn. There we go. Thanks that going to mess up your cameras? Yes hello Bryn. That works Bryn. Do you want me to leave that?

Alright we're good. We're feeling good. That camera's on the ceiling. It's at the ceiling. Okay. Now Bryn our newsreader is on or has been on the app Raya for celebrities. How did you get on this? It was just a random

invitation. I signed up, oh, this was a couple years ago. Okay. And just had nothing to do one night and I was like, I'll sign up to Raya. Answered a few questions. Can't remember what they were.

And then I left it. About a year later, I got an email. Checked my spam. I'd been accepted. A year later? Yeah. I know.

And they were like, well, fine. Spam. Yeah. You'd think they'd just be letting heaps of people know. And they were like, well, fine. You'd think they'd just be letting heaps of people on because then they'd make heaps of money. Yeah, because I read

one of the reviews for the app saying there's like no one on it. Well, I was on it very briefly because you had to pay like, I think, $30 a month

or something to be able to. Oh, get a wrap. You could feed a child for that. I know. You could feed a child. You see how to feed a child for that? For a dollar a day. It costs a living. I don't reckon you could could feed a child. You see how to feed a child for that? For a dollar a day.

I don't reckon you could anymore, but that's what it used to be. Yeah. So a dollar a day, who did you come across? Obviously, if it's New Zealand celebrities, you're probably going to be careful with naming them. But internationals have that. Yeah, I didn't really see many New Zealand celebrities, mainly influencer types.

Oh, okay. I used to work with one. That'd be a punish today. Oh, I know. That'd be a punish to date, hey? Oh, I know. That'd be a punish to date, influencers. What, because they'd always be having a ring to hide it. You just have to be the, you're the cameraman. Yeah.

Can you video me doing this? No, do it better. Oh, no, make it look more like, it was like surprising. Yeah. That's some junk. Right. International? Yes, well, that's what I ended up doing.

I was like, there's no one in New Zealand on here. They're all a bit, they're all a bit trashy, let's be honest. Oh, wow. He's swinging for the fences. So I decided to explore. And you can actually search by workplace. So I searched. What do you mean?

Well, you can put in works at Netflix or works at Nickelodeon. Works at NZME. Yeah. Well, I would come up probably for that yeah but I went with the Nickelodeon search yeah

and guess who came up who Miranda Cosgrove oh really yeah she was looking for someone

on there and did you swipe and match with her I swiped I haven't matched yet. But it took them a year to get back to you. But she doesn't know that I work at NZME, so she's not searching where I work.

She needs to broaden her. Miranda Cosgrove. Yeah. Wow. I know, and I was a big fan of iCarly growing up. Okay. Yeah. Right.

I'm still waiting, but I have actually gone to a different app. Okay. What app? You're off, Ray. It's back on the mainstream Tinder now. Well, I don't know how mainstream this one is, but I've decided I want to become a sugar baby. Same, Bryn.

Same. It does have a certain appeal. It does. It does have a certain appeal. Is there an app for sugar babies? Have you heard of seekingarrangement.com? Yes. It does have a certain appeal. It does. It does have a certain appeal. Is there an app for sugar babies? Have you heard of seekingarrangement.com? Yes.

Yes. Have you? Yeah. So you can go there for like out of relationships, right? Sugar daddy, sugar mama, sugar baby. Anything. Or like cheating as well. Like the mistress on the side.

All that good stuff. All of the good stuff. Okay, so walk us through that. How's that going? Well, I've been approved. Oh, yeah. And I've been on there, and I'll be honest, very small market, New Zealand.

Yeah, really? Very small market. So are you just kind of after like a CEO, kind of rich, powerful woman? I'm after a lot of money. Yeah, let's be honest. So you want to be the sugar baby, you want to drive around their flash car. Yeah.

Just be at home when they get home. I've got a few credit cards that need paying off. Right. Yeah, that'd be nice. That'd sort it. If they can sort that out, I'd be happy. But you're saying slim pickings in New Zealand? Yeah.

So again, I've branched out. I've gone to your New Yorks, your Londons. Oh, okay. Dubai. But you travel. You travel for money, don't you? Just where all the rich people are. Yes. You could probably do the news from Dubai. Yeah, I reckon money, don't you? That's where all the rich people are. Yes.

You could probably do the news from Dubai. Yeah, I reckon. From like a rich kind of palace. I don't know, Brennan, in this year of the Lord 2024, I dare not assume, but are we just looking for female CEOs or are we open to male CEOs? Well, maybe I should branch out and look at male CEOs as well. I'm just looking at the list of New Zealand female chief executives.

Small list. Small list. And one of them is Teresa Gatting, and she was in charge of telecom in 2003 through 2007, so it's been a while. Yeah, and we're certainly not saying that she is looking for a sugar baby. At all. But if she is, if she's listening right now,

then I'd come in. Yeah, go on to seekingarrangement.com and find me. Right. Well, they don't need to be... Yeah, okay I can. Yeah, go on to seekingarrangement.com and find me. Right. Well, they don't need to be. Yeah, okay, right. So does anyone? Yeah. Anyone with money.

I might sign up to this. How much money you got? No, no, no. I want to be the baby. Okay. She wants to be the baby, not the chicken mum. You know what? You can have half my debt if you want, Brim,

but that's sort of all I'm really offering. Yeah, no, they don't want that. Yeah, right. Well, keep us updated on that. That's exciting. And thank you for our little look into the world of the Celebrity Dating App as well. Yes. Yeah.

I'm still waiting for Miranda Cosgrove because let's be honest, if she swipes on me and we match, I'd probably quit my job. Well, you'd be a sugar baby, wouldn't you? Yeah. Kind of by default there, I guess. Because how old are you? 27.

She's 31, so technically the age stacks up for sugar baby as well. Yeah, she's an older lady. She'll get all of that. Cradle snatcher. Yes. Oh, my God. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day

This week's Fact of the Day theme is things named after their inventor That took the inventor's name I want to tell you about Earl Silas Tupper today. Tupperware. Tupperware. Yeah. Bingo. I guessed it.

A chingo. Earl Tupper. He was an American businessman and inventor. He invented lots of things. Best known for Tupperware. What else has he invented? I'll tell you about his inventions. And this is the annoying thing about it.

I found some of these inventions, but I couldn't find any more details on them. Obviously, they never took off. And they're lost to the annals of history. Careful. Very careful. He invented a better stocking garter. It was a dagger-shaped cone to be clipped onto one's belt so that the pants wouldn't lose their crease. Got a crease down the side of the pants.

A bit of stocking garter, no word on that. And a fish-powered boat. What? I don't know. Tupper's fish-powered boat, I could find very little on. Would it suck the fish in, muley them up, and use that as energy to propel it forward? No, it was...

Like a vacuum. Where large fish were attached to the boat in sort of a horse and carriage type situation. Oh, right. Okay. I thought you did a lot of fish. Yeah. And also, how would they swim all in the same...

in the direction you wanted them to go in? Yeah, they'd be panicking. They'd be all over the place. Yeah. They also customised cigarettes, things like sporty cigarettes and smart cigarettes. A better way to take out a burst appendix.

Who knew? And heaps of other things, but he's obviously most well known for Tupperware. He, in the Great Depression, lost his farm that he had inherited in his nursery business so he went to work for the

dupont chemical company and he noticed there was large black inflexible pieces of polythene slag which was a waste product of the oil refining process so they were making plastics at the time yeah he worked out how to purify the slag and and moulded it into creating lightweight, non-breakable containers, cups, bowls, plates, and they were used in World War II. Oh, yeah. And then looking at how a paint can lid sealed, he's like, I could do that with plastic, and it would be slightly more flexible,

and thus was born Tupperware. So was he working for the company then, or he'd gone out on his own? No, well, he was working for DuPont when he did it but later designed the airtight lids. In 1938,

Tupperware Plastics Company launched. I mean, DuPont could have totally said that was a myth on our time, on our dime. Yeah.

We own the IP. Maybe it wasn't in the contracts like it is now. Maybe it wasn't. Maybe this was the reason it is in contracts now. Maybe. So he had Tupperware and it was going pretty well.

He was selling it in department stores and such. And then he was approached by Brownie Wise. She called the office and made a big pitch to him that she believed it was the perfect product for her new sales technique, which was selling via home parties. Oh, yeah, right. And thus was born the Tupperware party.

Wow. And the Tupperware was the first product to be sold at parties. Yeah, right. And often now other things sold at house parties kind of pay homage to the Tupperware party. Like if you were to sell sex toys, it's sometimes called an F word, a party. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You've heard the term. Yes, I have, yes.

You've heard the term. Tupperware. Yes, sure, that. Right. And so, yeah, that was, it went on. His marriage fell to bits a little bit later in his life. Okay. He sold the Tupperware company and moved to Costa Rica. Oh, yeah.

New Zealand. Oh, nice. He gave up his US citizenship and to avoid taxes on the massive amount that he just made off selling his company, he bought an island and moved to the coast, just off the coast of Costa Rica. Amazing. And lived there until he died at the ripe old age of 76 years old. Huh.

Guys, I found a picture of this fish boat. Now, it requires the fish being the size of the boat. And it's sort of strapped on its back. So like whales. It's like strapping a boat to a whale. Three clamps to harness the fish to the boat. Right. How do you steer? I guess, yeah, with a rudder like was imagining it. Three clamps to harness the fish to the boat. Right. How do you steer?

I guess, yeah, with a rudder like you normally would. With a rudder, yeah. Coming to the group chat. Much like a donkey with the carrot on the stick. Yeah. Over the front of them with another smaller fish. Yeah, a bit of burley. Bit of burley.

A little bit burley. A little bit burley. Okay. And getting it going. So today's fact of the day is Tupperware is named after its inventor, Earl Tupper. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. King Charles III has awarded a twin whose name is Georgia. Yep.

A medal for gallantry and a tradition in which the monarchises civilians for acts of exemplary bravery. Wow, like saving a child from a burning building. Yes, that sort of thing. Yeah. Well, Georgia saved her twin sister from a crocodile attack. Melissa's floating face down in Mexico in the water. Right. She was told it was safe to go in there.

Wait, were they British on holiday there? Oh, okay. British tourists in Mexico. Okay. And face down in the water, she was told it would be safe. There was that bioluminescent stuff that lights up the water. Oh, yeah. If you've never seen it, you simply must.

It's amazing. It's beautiful. Beautiful, gorgeous. Gorgeous and beautiful. Very trippy. It's the aurora of the sea. Oh, beautiful. Yeah. So there they were, and they were floating face down. It's the aurora of the sea Oh beautiful So there they were

And they were floating face down And all of a sudden Rabunfa Rabunfa Which I believe is the official biologist term For the noise that a crocodile makes When it attacks Rabunfa

You imagine just being face down Oh this is quite pleasant Rabunfa and it attacks. Ra-boom-fa. Ra-boom-fa. You imagine just being face down and being like, oh, this is quite pleasant. Ra-boom-fa. Yeah. You're in the, one of the strongest jaws in the world, the strong jaws of a crocodile

that begins its death roll and shake. Yeah. Oh my God. Melissa's in the crocodile's mouth. George sees this happening, flies out, punch, punch, punch, punches the crocodile in the

So she's my older sister. A quick back story. When I was young, I had cancer and so I had health complications like majority of my life. Yep. Sorry to hear it.

Anyway, so then when I was 14, they sort of said, right, because of all this treatment you've had and stuff, it's like you won't be able Yep. Sorry to hear it. What? Oh! Anyway, my older sister was like, and the odds were really sucky anyway. And so my older sister's like, look, I'll do it for you. Then you've got, you've still got bio kids that are still at least, you know, somewhat yours. And she was only 16. So she was going to put her body on the line for me. And I ended up doing it myself unsuccessfully. But regardless, like she doesn't do well with like needles and yucky anyway.

So the fact she was going to do that for me was incredible. I'll never forget it. That's so nice. That's amazing. Yeah. Both sisters doing something with eggs. Common theme here. A common theme of eggs.

That's amazing. I've never even thought about that, going through cancer in your early teens. And they're like, well, if you want to do it, you have to do it now. And then there's a 14-year-old having to do that. And you're like, what? Oh, God. That's horrendous. Holly, thank you.

We've got so many messages and texts. We'll get to more of those next. Yeah, there's people that aren't particularly close with their siblings, Fletch and I struggling with this at the time. Cyril. We're talking about the coolest thing your siblings have ever done for you.

I mean, it's no crocodile. Okay. And I'm more into now an anonymous story. I want to know how that ended. Same, same.

Yeah, right? I want to know how for five years you can live around the corner around the corner from someone and never be

slightly suspicious of that sort of carry-on that would lead to a man having that much time on his hands. Also, why haven't they moved in after five years? You know, like,

what are you? Maybe should we impossible phone to this tomorrow? Were they living a double life? Oh, I love that. We're just planning. How do friends of friends not know about it? I don't know.

I know. Small town. Even in big cities like Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, you can't get away with that stuff. I've got so many more questions. Let's get her back on the show tomorrow. We'll get her back tomorrow. Yeah, love that idea.

Now, Harriet, how did your sister save your life? So we were having a summer holiday in England. We'd gone to Devon, which is on, like, the south coast. Yeah. And me and one of my friends were really into surfing. I mean, we still are, but we decided to go out surfing. And you know when it's, like, the last few days of your summer holiday and you don't want to waste it?

So you're like, no, I'm just going to go out and do it anyway. Like the sea wasn't the best conditions, but we were like, no, no, we're going to make the most of it last few days. So off we went and the sea was just like waves were pummeling in one after the other, like real frothy and brown. Like it wasn't a great day for it, but we were like, no, no, let's just go out and do a few. So I went out and I was on this wave and I managed to like nosedive.

So that's when the front of your board goes under the water and your back comes up. And I went under and it came up and I think it was the fin hit me in the head. I don't really remember much after that until my sister had grabbed me by like the neck of my wetsuit and was pulling me up from the water and dragging me out. You would have drowned. Well, I was under. I don't, yeah, I don't really remember the being under part of it. But yeah, it had hit me on the back of the head and I'd gone under.

Wow, she saved your life. Yeah, she just dragged me out. My sister would only go in like in a calm sea like in Spain. Wow. All she saw was her sister in the bloody washing machine that was the Devon coastline and she was in there to save you. That's good stuff. It was pretty rough that day.

It's amazing. It's amazing, Harriet. That's good stuff. Beautiful. Did she say I told you so? I think you have to in the summer, right? Yeah, no, she does as well.

She gives me lots of that. She's a doctor now so she gives me plenty of I told you so's and intelligent remarks back at me. Yeah, nice. Harriet, thank you for sharing.

Nice to get that. I'm absolutely terrified of bees. I was being chased by a bee. I think you were probably just running in the bee's predetermined path, but that's an argument for another time. I was being chased by a bee, and my sister put her arm out and got stung, so I wouldn't get stung by the bee.
