Starting point is 00:00:40 Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Thank you, Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Thank you, Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Somebody's got a new drink bottle. Yes. Oh, isn't it nice? I have been living a life of poverty.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Right, with a plastic. Supping from a 1.5 litre plastic bottle. Because I left my big Kadrona Hydro Flask thing at, I don't know, somewhere. Some hotel. And then they claimed that it wasn't there. I was like, someone's sipping around there. Okay, nobody was. If I was cleaning a room.
Starting point is 00:01:16 They thieved me. I'd just chuck it in the bin and then be like, I didn't see it. Yeah. Like, it's not worth anyone's time or effort, Hayley. I wouldn't put a hydro flask in the bin straight away. I'd put it in the hotel lost and found for a couple of weeks. Would you? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Starting point is 00:01:30 I emailed a number of hotels. Anyway. Okay. Kadrona, the lovely Kadrona people. Have sent you a replacement. Have sent you a replacement. With a note saying, do not lose this one. Speaking of hotels, next on the show,
Starting point is 00:01:41 there's some hotels have brought in a little fee that they're charging people. Yeah, and I think this is... That I'd like to talk about. Yeah. Also, the top six on the way. Yeah, I read it last night. Top six ways to play safe with your food this summer.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Well, yeah, because they've warned us ahead of summer because, you know, some people, I don't know, they put the chicken on the chopping block and then... Yeah, and some people just drink too much and then blame the food they ate. It annoys me so much when someone is like, oh, man, I think I ate something bad. It's like, in between the 15 wines or was it prior?
Starting point is 00:02:12 Oh, my God, I know. No, no, no, no, it wasn't that. I just feel terrible. I've got awful guts. Yeah. Something's happening. Got a headache, feel a little bit... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Food safety has reminded us of some ways to stay safe this summer, but you've got your own, Vaughan. I've got some basics because I think we need to get back to basics. Because literally on this list was washing your hands. Are we still doing that? I thought there was a COVID thing.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Oh, no, people are still doing it. I stopped months ago. Yeah, I stopped after COVID. Did you? You guys should start again. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Hotel chain in America is going viral because it's brought in a $50 fee for dirty towels.
Starting point is 00:02:52 What kind of dirty towels? They are claiming that it's makeup. Didn't you get a written warning from a hotel in Melbourne? No, I didn't. Towels. No, I didn't get towels. I didn't get towels. No, either of you got too many towels.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I thought at the end of the stay they were like, you can just keep calling every hour, more towels, more towels. I don't know about you, but I will use a new towel every time I have a shower at a hotel. No! I'm not hanging it on the hook. I don't care. If I'm by myself on a work trip, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:03:18 But if it's like family or a couple, you've got to be a bit careful with your towels. Yeah. So they are claiming that it's makeup. Oh, 100%. Women have no respect for a communal towel. What are we supposed to do? This is what I always ask, though.
Starting point is 00:03:31 What are we supposed to do? Take your own flannel. I always bring my own flannel, but if I forget. Because I've noticed sometimes if you stand up, I think it's more motels do it. They always have a, this is the makeup towel. It says makeup embroidered on it and it's brown. It's brown or black.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Yeah, they have a big sign because it obviously costs them a bit of money, whereas some of the bigger hotels don't seem to care, but some have a makeup towel. I definitely have been guilty of returning to a hotel room, perhaps after a night in moderation. And you just want to like smear your makeup off and that's all you've got. Or sometimes when Hayley stays in my spare room, there's makeup on the pillows.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Is this what you have to deal with? Do you remember when I got a spray tan and I had to let the spray tan dry so I got a spray tan and I turned up to Fletcher's and he made me
Starting point is 00:04:14 put down a towel so I could lay on the bed and let it dry. Fair enough. I've got quality linens. But I needed to sleep so I had to sleep like with the fan on
Starting point is 00:04:23 as to not transfer said tan to the bed. Not onto my nice Sheridans. They are nice Sheridans. I've had situations where I I had to sleep with the fan on as to not transfer said tan to the beach. Not onto my nice Sheridans. I've had situations where I'll be drying myself with a towel at home and I'll turn around and I'll be like, oh no, I've had a dirty bottom. You've smeared. I didn't wash my bottom correctly.
Starting point is 00:04:35 You've had a smear. I've had a smear or a bit of poo. Which is fine if it's a hotel towel. You just chuck it on the floor. No, no, but it's not. It's Sharnay's makeup. Oh, right. But I'm like, I've smeared poo on the towel.
Starting point is 00:04:46 But it's makeup. And I'm like, what a grubby. And then I'm like, oh, I am so yuck. I give myself the ick. What colour is your poo? It's not like a light tan. It just looks like a light smearing. And Sade's got sort of darker skin.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Yeah, right. She has darker makeup. If it was my foundation, you'd be like, what a milky poop. Yeah. I've had quite a milky poop there. I need some more green. Like a mousse. Mousse colour. Yeah, quite mousse. So it's not. I've had it with lipstick as well. I'm like, I'm milky poop. I've had quite a milky poop there. I need some more green. Like a mousse. Mousse colour.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I've had it with lipstick as well. I'm like, I'm bleeding from the anus. But it's not, it's like a little bit of lipstick or whatever. So it's not, this hotel also says it's not just that. It's that people, and I've actually done this, have cleaned their shoes. Oh yeah, dude, I've cleaned my shoes with a flannel. Especially coming back to New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:05:24 like you're not allowed dirty boots. And so I have actually in a hotel, like, hosed down my boots and cleaned them. I feel like you should use the tea towel for that. But that's only if you've got a kitchenette. Yeah, I'm just like, eh. You just put that one in the middle and then make a ball of laundry. A ball of laundry and leave it. We need to agree as a sort of a hotel conglomerate.
Starting point is 00:05:45 We need to host the thing where we sell to them some slightly more absorbent bath mats. Oh my God, I know. So those things get wet like that and dry like this. They just don't. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:06:01 You've been warned. This is like a thing that's starting. Also, aren't we gathering these things that's why they're white because everyone's like it's so impractical that they're white it's not
Starting point is 00:06:10 they bleach them to smithereens and that's one of the big thing about the environment factor of it right it's how much bleach they're using
Starting point is 00:06:17 yeah the water and the bleach the water and the bleach but then you're sharing that towel with like a thousand other strangers they actually floss their own anus with that and then you're flossing your anus. Bleach the shit out of it. They actually flossed their own anus with that
Starting point is 00:06:26 and then you're flossing your anus with it a week later. Bleach the hell out of it. Bleach me to smithereens. I might want to take my own towels on holiday now. Oh yeah, I feel a bit yuck.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Because I'll get it. The face, what if my face is touching the towel where a gooch has touched the towel? I mean that's hot. That's hot. And I'm down for
Starting point is 00:06:41 most action I've had in months. When you dry your gooch and then you put the towel back on the towel rack in a home situation and then you're washing your face and you... I often think that and be like,
Starting point is 00:06:51 oh, that's right. I had a little bit of a gooch wipe yesterday. The top six is next. Top six ways to stay food safe this summer. Olivia Rodrigo, ZM. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six. Top six ways to say food safe this summer.
Starting point is 00:07:14 You know. This summer. This summer. This is from New Zealand Food Safety. Their real list is hand washing. Just like a rinse under with water. Basically, their article is the first class of home economics at school. Intermediate home economics too, not college.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Yeah. Non-high school home economics. Intermediate entry level home economics. Things like refrigerating meats. Yeah. And then like where you prepare your meat and then not preparing other vegetables where you've prepared raw meat.
Starting point is 00:07:45 You know, the basic stuff. There's so much contradictory stuff, though. I remember reading an article recently about chopping chicken on a wooden chopping board is more preferable than on a plastic one. Yeah. Because you're cutting in the microplastics when you're chopping through the plastic.
Starting point is 00:07:58 And the wood's got a natural, most antibacterial properties. Right. Because I never chop chicken on the wood. I've got a little plastic chicken board. Oh, wow. That's why you've got a critic hard amount of microplastics in your brain. And I think it's fine.
Starting point is 00:08:15 You think it's fine? It's fine. Top six. Top six ways to stay food safe this summer. I'm breaking it down. It's basic. Number six on the list. Don't eat it if the dog's licked it.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Could you give it a wash and then a re-barbecue? I have shared one or two things with Raleigh. Such as? Like if he's licked something from my bowl. I'll continue to eat from the bowl. Oh, Bailey. I know. He's a naughty boy.
Starting point is 00:08:39 He licks his own anus. Same. I had no idea you were so flexible. Yeah, thank you. Such a flexible girl. Is that why you're doing Les Mills Pilates? I'm doing the Pilates. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I've just started, done two classes. I see people sharing ice creams with dogs. I know. So you're gross. I know. I know lots of people do it, but it's so icky. Top six ways to save food, save for the summer. Number five on the list.
Starting point is 00:09:04 I feel like I need to remind you guys. Chew it. Chew it. Bloody chew it before you swallow it. Because you'll choke on it. You don't want to be giving someone the Heimlich at dinner. Although you do look like a hero. Heimlich.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Heimlich. Heimlich was a bad guy. Yeah. Heimlich. What was that? Heimlich saves lives. Heimlich. Is that the quote?
Starting point is 00:09:22 Don't mention the war. Heimlich saves lives. Heimlich. Number four on the list of the top six ways to stay food safe this summer. Is it grey? Then don't eat it. Oh, yeah, when the meat's cooked itself. But anything.
Starting point is 00:09:35 What is grey that's edible? Mushrooms. Mushrooms. But the good part of mushrooms is white. And brown gills. What is grey? That's what I was like last night when I read this. I was like grey because I was thinking of the meat situation.
Starting point is 00:09:48 If it's grey, stay away. If it's grey. Eels. There's some delicious. I love that. 29 delicious grey foods. Grey foods. Oysters.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Oh, yeah. I always say oysters are grey. The shell's grey, but you don't eat the shell. Yeah, but the middle bit's like silver, which is grey. No, it's silver. Kippers, lots of fish, mackerel. Oh, yeah, maybe some fish. Okay, yeah, so grey.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Sesame seeds are technically grey. You're going to have to walk back that if it's grey, stay away. Sunflower seeds. No, I'm not walking back. Grey. No, brown or black. Number three on the list of the top six ways to save food, save for summer. Are those ants or poppy seeds?
Starting point is 00:10:21 If they're ants, blow them off. If they're poppy seeds, also blow them off because they get caught in your teeth and no one's going to tell you because it's funny. Nobody will tell you. No one's happy with a poppy seeds? If they're ants, blow them off. If they're poppy seeds, also blow them off because they get caught in your teeth and no one's going to tell you because it's funny. Nobody will tell you. No one's happy with a poppy seed, eh? No, it's a crunch. They're like nature's version of those silver balls our mum used to decorate cakes with in the 90s. Remember those?
Starting point is 00:10:38 The worst. They were like babies and you'd be like bang and it would hit your teeth and you'd be like mum! Number two on the list of the top six ways to stay food You'd see these. Yeah. You'd be like, bang, and it would hit your tooth, and you'd be like, mom, ow. Number two on the list of the top six ways to stay food safe this summer. I know they look like lollies, but don't eat the pink lollies in the urinal.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Those are not lollies. But they're literally called cakes. Yeah, urinal cakes. Yeah. Why are we calling them cakes? Some girls wouldn't even know those. We don't pee on cakes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I do because I know the smell. And you've used the men's toilets. Multiple times. Yeah. Fair, fair call. I've seen the lines. Yeah. She's actually reigning champion of the Huapai Tav. Piss it down the urinal to the thing.
Starting point is 00:11:17 I don't know how she did it. It was an angle thing. Angles. She put one leg up on the silver wall and one leg on the grey. The way you're going to tilt the hip. And then just. Again, it's that Les Mills Pilates. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:26 It's doing me wonders. My body defies gravity. And number one on the list of the top six ways to stay food safe this summer. If it's on the ground, don't fight a feral cat or a dog for it. You might win, but you'll probably lose an eye for half a pie. Just let them have it. Don't fight an animal for food. It's just not worth it.
Starting point is 00:11:44 That's today's top six. Stay safe this summer. Play. ZM. Fletchvorn and Hayley. Sir Elton Makara Tehuia John. I don't think so. I don't know if that's his full name.
Starting point is 00:11:57 I don't think so. Are you sure? Sir Elton Michael Peter George John. That's probably more accurate. Has revealed. Because, you know, he's lost his sight for a while he's not like, well I guess there's no chance
Starting point is 00:12:09 he's coming back here to finish the concert city keeps rained out no he's done that was God's way of saying no more homosexuals on Sunday I went to a new church, he anti-gayed that one, did you? yeah I went to a new church and they told me thatayed that one. Did you? Yeah, I went to a new church.
Starting point is 00:12:25 And they told me that God will do these sorts of things to stop the gays. Rain out the Elton John. Rain out the Elton John or give him COVID. Because he definitely had COVID that first time, mate. We were at that show and he just left halfway through. Then we tried to go to the second one. Rained out. That was rained out.
Starting point is 00:12:40 And now he's never coming back. No. That was his final farewell. Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road tour. He's done. But he's been doing a bit of publicity because he's been writing music for other projects and stuff. He's just not performing anymore.
Starting point is 00:12:51 He's a big Chapel Roan fan too. He is. He loves her. Did you see him in the green room with Joni Mitchell, Elton John and Chapel Roan? Imagine just being her being like, these are legends. Well, he has revealed what he wants in his gravestone.
Starting point is 00:13:04 He did an interview with People magazine and he revealed all he wants. He said the only thing he wants to say, five words, he was a great dad. That's nice. Not what I expected. Of all the things he's achieved in his life, he was a drug addict.
Starting point is 00:13:18 He was a gay man. He was a great pianist. He was a great dad. That's all he wants. And I was like, I haven't really thought much about, because I'm going to get buried. I'm not going to get burnt. I'm up to the mirage. Are you? Yeah. Okay. I just want to be scattered. I don't want a hoo-ha.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I don't want a big hoo-ha. I just found out recently my mum doesn't want to have a funeral at all. Yeah, I would not want one. Who cares? I think it's going that way, right? Yeah. In a few generations. I wouldn't be mad if someone's like,
Starting point is 00:13:49 I didn't want a funeral or the family was like, it's not happening. I'd be like, fine, that's great. My pop didn't have one because of COVID and I think he would have loved the fact that that happened.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Do you know what I love is when people like, I mean, it's obviously sad. They know that the end is near. Like maybe they're terminal or they know they've only got a few months. They have a living funeral. I know, I love that. Say it to my face. They know that the end is near. Like maybe they're terminal or they know they've only got a few months. They have a living funeral. I know.
Starting point is 00:14:07 I love that. Say it to my face. I love that. And then it's more of a party and people get together and, you know. Yeah. It's obviously sad. If you think I'm great, let me hear it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Tell me. Tell me these great things. You know me. Let me hear it. I would want to have something silly. We were talking before about Spike Milligan, the author. Yeah. His tombstone says, I told you I was sick, which is so funny.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I would love to have like a gag on mine or like all the secrets I said I'd take to my grave. I didn't. Hee hee. I want to, first out, I don't want to be buried. So don't. But can you imagine like me being buried in the middle of a graveyard surrounded by people? Oh, yuck.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Actually, that's your worst nightmare. There's people everywhere. We could just take you to the middle of some kind of forest. You do it. Shall I grave me? Yeah, shall I grave you? I'm all for one of those funerals. Viking, and there's also, is it in the Himalayas
Starting point is 00:15:01 that they just put you on a thing and the eagles pick you? Oh, no, that's miserable. In parts of India, no, that's the deal because I remember them reading about, because the cow is sacred as well, but they give the cow something and it's toxic to the eagles and the eagle population. They eat the liver, but that's where it holds the thing
Starting point is 00:15:20 and it kills the eagles. And so now they put the bodies on top of the building to be picked apart by eagles and there's not enough eagles so this smells. I don't want that. Grim. Didn't you want to have a recipe on your... My nana yeah we wanted to put a recipe
Starting point is 00:15:33 her pikelet recipe which was probably the Edmonds. What she was most famous for. Would it be the Edmonds pikelets? She predates Edmonds. Wow. She got it from her mother. Right. But it's just the Edmonds recipe though right her mother. Right. And her mother from her mother. But it's just the Edmunds recipe though, right? And that was why their family name was Pikelet.
Starting point is 00:15:49 There's someone who's gone around. It's a bit far to go though when you're in the kitchen, isn't it though? And you're just like, what stage am I up to next? Yeah, true. But I imagine you would take a photo, take it home and be like, hey, we should try that recipe we got off the grave. I never thought about that. Yeah, photos.
Starting point is 00:16:00 I was just running. I've got two eggs in a bowl and now I'm going back to the cemetery. Yeah. Or you could pull up in a camper van and use the little kitchen in the camper van to make some pie crusts inside the grave Someone's gone around the Rocky Mountains of Tennessee
Starting point is 00:16:14 and gone to all these, you know, people that love grave sites, graveyards and stuff Like tourism Graveyard tourism It's a bit morbid and found some funny headstones. Yeah. For example, here lies the body of Jonathan Blake
Starting point is 00:16:30 stepped on the gas instead of the brake. That's great. I love it. It's great. Here, oh, where's the banana one? Here lies the body of our Anna done to death by a banana. It wasn't the fruit that laid her low, but the skin of the thing that made her go. You're like, what? Did she die? Did she choke on a banana. It wasn't the fruit that laid her low, but the skin of the thing that made her go,
Starting point is 00:16:46 you're like, what? Did she die? Did she choke on a banana skin? We don't know. Gone away, owe too much, couldn't pay. Wow. I definitely want to gag. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Yeah, you can see heaps online. Someone just wrote like, ha, ha, ha on theirs and like nothing else. You're just sort of like, what is that? It's intriguing. But yeah. What about I'm buried here with two million in cash? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I dare you to come and find it. And it's got a claymore on it. Oh, like a landmine. Yeah, like an explosive. And then they pull the lid off and the claymore's tied to the bottom and they pull it and then they're looking at it and it goes boom. It's a bit grim, Vaughan. And then the grave next to it was like, told you.

Starting point is 00:21:46 You Need To Calm Down's not on there. But for me, Shake It Off, because that's the good bloody party anthem. Anyway, yeah, which they like the gentle.
Starting point is 00:21:55 What was the one with the music video where she went feral? Half of them. Blank Space. Blank Space. Where she's dancing aggressively. Yeah, that was on the list.

That's Travis Kelsey's favourite song as well. Oh, there you go. You share something in common with him.
Starting point is 00:22:13 We're very similar men. So similar, it's actually hard to tell you apart. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Today's Silly Little Pole. When you go to a dinner party, should you bring drinks? I read an article in the Huffington Post about the etiquette around bringing drinks to parties, whether or not it's rude if you bring wine and your host doesn't open it,
Starting point is 00:22:52 or if you turn up without drinks and you're expecting them to bring drinks but they've also had dinner. But sometimes in New Zealand they say, don't bring anything. No, no, we've got heaps here. You still take drinks. At least they say, don't bring anything. A, I'm bringing something, and B, I'm bringing drinks. I went They say don't bring anything. A, I'm bringing something. And B, I'm bringing drinks.
Starting point is 00:23:08 I went to a dinner party last night. I brought one whole cocktail. A Monday dinner party? Yeah, and I've got another one tonight. Oh, holy shit. I have other friends outside of you two. Tis the season. Tis the season. I've never heard of these friends.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Yeah. Well, they're my neighbours yesterday. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was really fun. But I brought stuff for Ugo Spritz's, like I brought Prosecco and soda water and Alderflower, but then the host
Starting point is 00:23:30 who cooked all the dinner and everything had already set up all these drinks. He was like, no, no, no, no, no. But you bring them. You bring it just in case. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's what we asked. We asked, do you, when you go to a dinner party, do you bring drinks? And the people have spoken 95% saying yes.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Interesting. Yeah. 5% saying no. They may be our non-drinking listeners. Yeah, that's true. And then, were you taking a bottle of Fanta? Yeah. You always bring your own Fanta.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Yeah. Yeah. You can't be relying on them for drinks. When you're just a cider drinker, you have to provide your own drink, said Sam. That's like a vegetarian showing up to a barbecue and expecting the host to be catering for you. Yeah. That's good that he knows. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Imagine only drinking cider. Yum. Gets a bit sweet at the end of the night. But after a while, you can only have one or two. Yeah. Michelle said, because then I'll know I'll drink something I enjoy and not have to drink Chardonnay oh yeah
Starting point is 00:24:27 that's the thing, you take your own, you know you're going to like what you're drinking it's also just a money thing, if they're cooking for you imagine if they're also providing drinks Chloe said in New Zealand, yeah you take your own not Swarbrick Jones haven't heard from her for a while
Starting point is 00:24:43 it's been a while she's been busy in It's been a while She's been busy Yeah In New Zealand yeah In other countries no Oh really Ah
Starting point is 00:24:51 What so In other countries If you're hosting the dinner It's drinks as well You wouldn't turn up To an Australian dinner Without drinks No
Starting point is 00:24:58 Surely Cause that's the Yeah like the What was it That guide for like New citizens Had the All about bringing a plate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Oh, yeah, always put a plate. Because that's like, and bring food on the plate, not just on a plate. If you're doing dinner, you bring pudge. Yeah. Jamie says, people that don't are tight as F. Even if you're not drinking, you take a bottle for the host as a thank you for having me. Yes. A nice little $17.
Starting point is 00:25:24 That's down to $14 and has a gold sticker on it. He's got to have a gold sticker. He's got to have some gold stickers. Yes. A nice little $17 that's down to $14 and has a gold sticker on it. He's got to have a gold sticker. Gotta have some gold stickers. Petra said, if I'm not bringing a plate, then yes, I'm taking drinks. Again, again, leave it behind when you don't take your
Starting point is 00:25:39 half-finished bottle home. Unless it's spirits. Spirits spirits taken home, but otherwise, leave your bottle of wine there. Amy said, my parents taught me to never arrive empty-handed.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Yeah. Which is good parenting. Felicity said, I don't drink wine, only basic girly cocktails, so I'll sort myself out. Thank you very much. She's bringing Cosmo ingredients.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Yeah. I wouldn't want to mess with the food pairing. I wouldn't want to mess with the food pairing. I wouldn't want to mess. That's someone who's not bringing a drink. Yeah, so they're going, they're making fish. I'm not rocking up with a bottle of rouge. They can do the food pairing.
Starting point is 00:26:13 You can have the rouge before or then again after. Yeah. Yeah. But again, at least bring something. That matches the food pairing. Yeah. Yeah, totally. And then what are you going to ask the host?
Starting point is 00:26:22 Like, what are you making us? Yeah, yeah. Do you want to come over for dinner? What are you cooking? Yeah. I don't mean it like that. I just want to bring something that suits. Zoe said, I don't like to drink alcohol,
Starting point is 00:26:32 and often that's all that's available, all water, and you start to feel left out, so I bring a little fizzy. Yeah, kombucha of sorts. Or maybe she brings a Fanta. Yeah, I think she's bringing a Fanta. I love that you yucked kombucha and you went, but Fanta's more appropriate for a dinner party. Well, no, I would go.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Kombucha's good for your gut health, Vaughn. I would go for an LMP because you put it in a champagne float and it looks like you're enjoying festivities. That's nice. And that's one for our pregnant but not yet told anybody listeners as well. Yes. LMP in a champagne float, everyone thinks you're having a little champers. Because let's face it, the minute you say, no, thank you, I'm not drinking,
Starting point is 00:27:04 everyone's going to say, you're pregnant. Pregnant. Yeah. Especially if it's six months after a wedding. Oh yeah, God yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:10 I know they should know by then. At six months, you're probably telling people. Three months after a wedding. No, I mean they're trying six months after they got married. Oh,
Starting point is 00:27:20 after their own wedding. Yes. Gotcha, gotcha. Because they waited for marriage to consummate. Yeah, that's what you do. Why would they be pregnant before they got married? That doesn't make any sense. Gotcha, gotcha. Because they waited for marriage to consummate. Yeah. Of course.
Starting point is 00:27:25 That's what you do. Why would they be pregnant before they got married? That doesn't make any sense. No, you wouldn't do that. How would that have even worked? Because they definitely haven't had sex yet. That's not how that works. No.
Starting point is 00:27:33 That's that I still have a little pie. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Mason Disick is Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's son. The first one. I think he was the first child of the brood. And he's 15 now. 15 years old.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Wow. That doesn't make you feel old. Is that the one she pulled out of herself? Remember there's that famous episode where she's giving birth and she just reaches down and goes, who's her own baby? Wow, amazing. Maybe that was the second actually because if you do that the first time, I reckon you're a psychopath. I reckon they're laughing baby out. Wow, amazing. Maybe that was the second, actually, because if you do that the first time, I reckon you're a psychopath
Starting point is 00:28:07 and I reckon they're locking you out. Having never given birth in your life, you're just like, I reckon I could just crank this. Well, he's 15 years old as of yesterday and for his birthday, his daddy bought him... Daddy?
Starting point is 00:28:18 Daddy bought him a mini G-Wagon. Mercedes G-Wagon. Wait, what's a mini G-Wagon? Just a smaller. It's like... A two-door. Oh, it's a two-door one. Not a four-door one. Mercedes G-Wagon. Wait, what's a mini? Just a G-Wagon? Just a smaller. It's like a- A two-door. Oh, it's a two-door one. Yeah, like-
Starting point is 00:28:28 Not a four-door one. Yeah, they look cooler. Man, that's a rule with any four-wheel drivers. They look cooler in two-door than they do in four-wheel. I always see, like, there are a few of those Mercedes G-Wagons around Auckland, and you're always like, wow, okay, those are nice. Yeah, I'm always like, who's driving them? They are so expensive.
Starting point is 00:28:42 So- They are so- Aren't they like 250? Yeah. We knew a guy once. He was like working in film and he turned up to our house and he pulled in and we asked. We're like, can we just ask you how much that cost? He was like, yeah, it was 250,000.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Jesus Christ. That is insane. So even the two door one, that's going to be like 200, right? Oh, at least. At least. How much does a Mercedes G-Wagon cost? I'm just on Trade Me. There's one here.
Starting point is 00:29:09 It's a 2022, so not brand new. It's only done at 8,000 k's. $260,000. There's a 2023 one for $284,000. There's a 2024 one for $329,000. Yeah, the brand new one here, $343,000. So there's a 15-year-old learning to drive in a $300,000... I mean, they're so rich, it makes sense.
Starting point is 00:29:29 It's a drop in the ocean. But my dad bought me... Are they safe there? Do they have a five-star safety? I would imagine that. Well, they're Mercedes. I would imagine so. Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Is it ANCAP safety room? He doesn't even know how to drive. Anyway, my first car was a 1992 Mitsubishi Mirage. It was like rusted through. It was sort of grey black. It had a stealable radio that got stolen twice. It was so crap. It sounds nicer than your current car. It was. Actually, I
Starting point is 00:29:54 wish I had never got a new car. Wish I was still driving that. No, I sold it to a friend and the door was so rusted they had to get a replacement door, but it was a different colour. You know, they'd always see it around. It was awesome. And it was so fun learning to drive in that. And also,
Starting point is 00:30:08 I think I've mentioned this before, this is the grossest thing. This is the worst thing, but the passenger window didn't go down and I was a smoker. So I used to just have, no,
Starting point is 00:30:16 the driver's window. That's gross. Anyway, yuck. You're so yuck. What was your first car born? A 19, well,
Starting point is 00:30:22 it was mum's car. Hand me down. No, it was still mum's car. So it wasn't actually yours. But it became like the kid's car. But mum was like, that's my car. Was it the Starlet? Yeah, it was a 1986 Toyota Starlet.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I still had it when I started working with Fletch. Wow. It was rad. It had four doors. Most Starlets were two doors. It was a four-door Toyota Starlet. Pretty posh. I thought this guy was pretty posh.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Yeah, he's a pretty posh guy. Mine was a $500 Honda Accord. Yeah. Hell yeah, my dude. And it just went and went and went. Yeah. It was so good. Shannon's still in her first car. She just messaged. What's yours? I believe it's a Volkswagen. Yeah, a Volkswagen Golf.
Starting point is 00:31:00 I thought it was a car one that dated rich Europeans. No, no, no. She's got the leaf because she's a vegetarian. I don't have a leaf. No, what is it? Aqua. Aqua, sorry, aqua. Because I like water.
Starting point is 00:31:10 It's the same thing, Carwin. It's exactly the same thing. It's not. You took umbrage at the leaf. Water goes on plants and plants grow into her food. Into her food. That's all she can eat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:18 I mean, I wouldn't say I've got a rich European car. The engine light's been on for, I think we're up to a year and a half now. Yeah. Which goes to show, I think the engine light's been on for I think we're up to a year and a half now. Which goes to show I think the engine light's a conspiracy. Well, I think so, because my car flooded and it turned on after that. Someone just texted saying,
Starting point is 00:31:33 my 13 year old doesn't believe that her first car is going to be a shitter. She has options. I would be seen dead in a car like that. Everybody thinks that until it's time where you get a little bit of freedom and the option is either the hand-me-down or what can be afforded. Yeah, which
Starting point is 00:31:50 is some old, rusty $500 car. I want to get my kids a 90s Volvo because those things are safe. And that's the main thing I'd be concerned about. No offence to your girls, but I think they lack the arm muscles without power steering. I believe 90s Volvos
Starting point is 00:32:06 may have advanced to power steering. I don't know about that. This is what we wanted to know now. This is what I'm talking about. This big, dirty Volvo wagon. That thing.
Starting point is 00:32:16 It looks like a hoose. Oh, how embarrassing. Okay, this is what we want to know. And that bloody McCartan around the bodies of their bloody boyfriends if they get one.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Hey! They won't be doing that in the car with their boyfriends if you buy them a car that big, let me tell you. Okay. Small car never held me back. Okay, this is what we want to know this morning.
Starting point is 00:32:33 0800 DALS at M, you can text 09696. What was your first car? And we don't just want to hear from the $500 shitbox cars like we all had. Oh, yeah. I also want to know is there somebody listening that's had a brand new car from my man daddy? Yes maybe.
Starting point is 00:32:50 We're not here to judge you. Then later on when daddy went to prison for embezzlement they took away my car. And I had to get a stupid Nissan. So was it
Starting point is 00:32:58 what was your first car? Was it an absolute ship box or was it like something really flashy and expensive? Some good cars coming through. Like a G-Wagon for $300,000
Starting point is 00:33:07 maybe you were just straight into the Range Rovers and that's where you live imagine L-Plates on a G-Wagon yeah I've seen it I've seen L-Plates
Starting point is 00:33:14 on a G-Wagon that's insane okay 0800 Dials at M 9696 good or bad what was your first car got to a second
Starting point is 00:33:21 has bought his 15 year old son for his birthday a G-Wagon mini G- for his birthday a G-Wagon. Mini G-Wagon, but a G-Wagon all the same. One of the most expensive cars you can get your hands on. We want to know what was your first car. Was it an absolute shite box?
Starting point is 00:33:35 Jessica, good morning. Good morning, how are you? Really good. What was your first car? A white Honda Prelude with the flip-up lights that we put lashes on. Oh, yes, with the lashes. Lashes. That was just, you know what my mum said about that, cars with flip-up lights, that's just
Starting point is 00:33:51 another thing that can go wrong. Yeah, another thing that can break. They were so cool. They were. They were, yeah. How much did you pay for it, or did your parents pay for it? Oh, Dad brought it. I have no idea. Probably like 500 bucks. And how long did your parents pay for it? Oh, Dad brought it. I have no idea. Probably like 500 bucks. And how long did you have it for?
Starting point is 00:34:08 Six years. Wow. And you never lost the lashes going 100Ks? No, they fell off all the time, so I just had to keep buying new ones. Lashes. I love that. Just lashes on the side of the motorway? Wait, can you buy them at like Repco or Super Cheap? I can't even remember where we got them from.
Starting point is 00:34:24 I wouldn't have a bloody clue. Rich guy. I'd go to the $2 shop. Eyelashes, Mighty Apes, got them. Timu's got them. Dick Smith's got them. Get them on trade. Get them now for my car.
Starting point is 00:34:34 They'll be perfect. Yeah, you can still get them on. Love that. Thank you, Jessica. Can you get some? Yeah, I can get some. We had them on the S-Cargo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:42 On our Nissan S-Cargo. The company car. I saw one of those in New Plymouth at the weekend. I still love them so much. Yeah, they look like snails. Do you think that'll make my car cooler? Because you know I don't like my car. Yeah, I think it will.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Get some lashes? I think people, it'll turn heads. It'll look really weird. What about some Tongan flags? Yes. Those two, yeah. I know, it's just wild. And some reindeer antlers.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Yeah, yeah, great. We'll really throw a mixed bag of car decorations out there. So many amazing text messages coming in. My father lived out his bogan dreams on me and my first car was a 1998 Ford Falcon XT V6 Ute. A Ute? Okay. Got it for 4K. It was a complete rust box.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Lived out of town and I was a girl on part-time wages so paying for fuel wasn't great in a, I will reiterate, V6 Ute. Yeah, that's not sensible. But it was pretty cool and you'd be driving it and guys would just look at you like, hot. Yeah. The other side of it is often these cheap cars like mine just ran and ran and ran and ran. It was like nothing. I put
Starting point is 00:35:35 seven bucks in it. Seven bucks, seven bucks. So I messaged Red Suzuki Alto. I was so embarrassed by it. But at the end I appreciated how good it was on the field. Got all the way from Dunedin to Christchurch on 40 bucks. Also get into any park. Yeah. Like that was what it was about.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Would have crumbled like a can in an accident. So I'm glad you weren't in one. Do you remember doing that though? That was me. I was like, I checked my bank account balance before I left the house. I'd be like, $4. You'd be like, sweet. And you'd go to the petrol station and be like, psst.
Starting point is 00:36:01 You wouldn't even get like, I don't even think $4 would get out of the tube now. No, no, no, no, no. Years ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Yeah. Sneeze in your petrol tank. Yeah. There you go. Four bucks. Uh, I learned to drive and then inherited the family's Previa minivan. Oh,
Starting point is 00:36:19 for a first car. Oh my God. You'd be like, Oh my God. So embarrassing. But then when you had your license and you could transport everybody at once. Friends, oh yeah. But then you'd always be the sober driver too.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Yeah, we were. You were highly respected. You were a very respectable member of the community if you had access to a minivan. 1,000 blind spots, column shift, wide as anything. And I reversed it into a tree and stoved in the back at one stage as well. Bought a 2001 Impreza
Starting point is 00:36:45 as my first car. Back window was permanently down because you couldn't get it up. Electrics were screwed. Every time you turned the car off and took the keys out, the hazards just turned themselves on. Good.
Starting point is 00:36:54 So you had to disconnect the whole battery. Love that car dearly. Everybody had a car in the days of a manual wind down window where you'd be in the car and someone would reach for it
Starting point is 00:37:03 and be like, no, no, no, don't wind that down. It won't go back up. It won't go back up. It'll fall. Yeah. Oh yeah, you took be in the car and someone would reach for it and be like, no, no, no, don't wind that down. It won't go back up. It won't go back up. It'll fall. Yeah. Oh yeah,
Starting point is 00:37:08 you took it off the finger and it just went, boom, boom, boom. Fell in the middle of the door. Oh yeah. A 1984 Mazda Cosmo cost 800 bucks. My 15 year olds just told me
Starting point is 00:37:16 they want a Jeep for their first car. I laughed right in their face. A Jeep, as if. Jeep. Yeah. No, you don't want that. Dreaming.
Starting point is 00:37:22 I had a Ford Anglia, which at the time I didn't appreciate it, but looking back on it now, it wasn't the second Harry Potter. Very popular. The muffler was held on with a few loops of number eight wire. Oh, how good. Classic Kiwi fix there.
Starting point is 00:37:36 My first car was a Suzuki Samurai. It's like a Jimny. Yep. My dad won us a major spot prize in the Great Lake Cycle Challenge in the late 90s. I was on my restricted license at the time, and I was saving up for a Honda CRX. Sexy car. Sexy car.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Sexy car. Yeah, sexy car. Sexy car at the time. I happily accepted a brand new free car. Man, that would have been great. Wait, they got it free? Brand new. Yeah, because their dad won it.
Starting point is 00:37:58 I thought it was a hand-me-down win. Listen to this. My friend had it. First car was a Mitsubishi GTO Sport. I don't know what that is, but it sounds fancy. The car was better than any of the teachers at our high school. Listen to this. My friend had a first car. It was a Mitsubishi GTO Sport. I don't know what that is, but it sounds fancy. The car was better than any of the teachers at our high school. I remember those GTO Sports.
Starting point is 00:38:12 So they'd pull in and be like, that's the nicest car in the parking lot. My first car was a 1995 Isuzu Bighorn. Bighorn? Yes, King. Those things were beasts. Absolute behemoth. But my parents knew I'd be safe.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Yeah. And I'd also have great spatial awareness behind the wheel because of how massive it was. It was like learning to drive in a bus. My first car was a 1950s Volkswagen Beetle. My mum decided to put strips of yellow, black duct tape on it because it was yellow and then it looked like a bee. Oh, my God. That's so embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:38:42 As a 16-year-old having to drive that, it was so embarrassing but after a while. That is so embarrassing. Then it would have been cool, right? Did anyone hand paint their car? I had a couple of friends who had like done a house paint job on a car.
Starting point is 00:38:53 It was so dry. Yeah. So dry and flaky. Cranked after a summer in the sun and it would go to a crash. Oh my God, literally someone just text in.
Starting point is 00:39:00 My first car was a 1960 Skoda painted blue with house paint. You had to pump the clutch five times before changing gears. My first car was Postman Pat's blue red wagon. What? It was like a delivery truck. Cool.
Starting point is 00:39:19 My dad saw it and he was like, great first car. It really wasn't. I mean, embarrassing, but so cool. Everybody thought it was the Postman. Oh, God. Oh, so good. So good. Pink Toyota Vitz was my first car.
Starting point is 00:39:34 All of my boyfriend's friends called it the, here comes the vagina. Little pink Vitz. Oh, no. Good stuff. First cars, man. You never forget them. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Oh, no. Good stuff. First cars, man. You never forget them. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Oh, dear. Okay, so a woman went to the club, and as you sometimes do in the clubs, and I haven't done this for years in the clubs, but she hooked up. She hooked up with a handsome gentleman. How dirty was a patch in the club? Yeah, it was so gross.
Starting point is 00:40:03 It was all you wanted, and then when you were getting it, you'd be like, yeah. And then someone would take a grainy photo of you on a Sanyo flip phone and then you'd sit and be like, yuck. Hayley, we're going. We're getting in the taxi. See you later. So this chickie, Phoebe is her name.
Starting point is 00:40:24 She's 18 years old. She was in a Parisian nightclub that gives an air of class. Posh. Yeah, could be posh. When she met a handsome gentleman and they had a little bit of a pash, afterwards she dove straight into a panic because her throat started to feel a little bit like sandpaper, gone very scratchy immediately, That was the first sign.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Then she tried to swallow and it got very hard to swallow. Oh, she's having a reaction to something. As her throat began to close up she runs to the bathroom in the club where she notices she's covered in hives and rashes and she instantly goes, oh my god, I'm heading into anaphylactic shock, which is
Starting point is 00:41:01 when she got her friend to go to her handbag, get her EpiPen and jab her. So she carries an EpiPen, so she knows that this is a possibility. I think it's just if you've got, obviously this is a high-end allergic reaction. She's a classic peanuts. She's a classic peanuts. I've always wondered about this. So if you ate, say you ate, I don't know, seafood or anything with nuts.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Yeah. And then even if you brush your teeth and you went out and kissed someone or hooked up with someone. Are they going to get it? Yeah, are they going to get it? If they had an extreme level, right? Like the kind where you've got to tell your school, like, hey, no one else can have a peanut butter sandwich here.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Yeah. She, so she was like feeling terrible and she was going through all her drinks in the mind that she'd had. She's like, no, there was no like peanuts in that. And then she remembered the boy with the nice smile as she described him. And he had obviously eaten Knowles,
Starting point is 00:41:55 Knowles? They had little bowls of nuts at the bar. He'd eaten some. Never take free nuts at a bar. It's not an RSA. I mean, this is a rugby club. But he put his pussy hands in the bowl and he ate some nuts. And when he kissed her, it transferred.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Because there was peanuts in the mouth. Do you think she would have been like, what's that? Nuts? Yeah, you're just like, that's a little bit of... What if that's ever happened to her? I don't... I'm not allergic to anything to that degree. When you give me my slice of apple in the morning, I go.
Starting point is 00:42:26 You used to be allergic to peanuts. Yes. I had a, certainly not that intense. Right. But we found out when I really wanted chips on a family trip, my dad said, we don't need chips, we want peanuts. And then there was an argument and then he did an 80s parents thing where he shoved the peanuts in my mouth and then chewed them for me.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Like, what's not in my mouth? Brogay. Yeah. Wild parenting times. Yeah. where he shoved the peanuts in my mouth and then chewed them for me, like, oh, it's not in my mouth. Bro gang. Yeah. Wild parenting times. Yeah. And it was like, and it read all around my mouth. But then apparently lots of allergies you can, when you go through puberty and just the changes and stuff,
Starting point is 00:42:58 you can grow out. As long as they're mild, I wouldn't test that in the wild. That's why you love a peanut slab now. Love a peanut slab. Prefer an almond gold. Almond gold.

We've now entered the season where it's too warm
Starting point is 00:43:14 to keep peanut slabs in your glove box. Oh, 100%. You don't want to be doing that. That just becomes a sack of chocolate. You should get a mini fridge in the back of your chimney. Dude, that's a great idea. For your almond gold. I'd love one of those armrest Fridges. Yes. For the arm And gold. Yeah, great idea. And your ice
Starting point is 00:43:30 Coffee. And my ice coffee When I drive. That's for an arm and gold Yeah, because they won't be big. You have a row of arm and gold Hello How often are we? Hello, hello Is anybody listening? Hello, someone invent an Armrest. No, but could you Arm and gold. Could you create like 3D print?
Starting point is 00:43:48 Of course you can 3D print anything. Some kind of tub that fits in and then you've got to wire it, I guess, with cooling bars. Or you just have ice at the bottom of it. Yeah, but that way, and then you've just got a big wet. Yeah, then it's wet. Middle bit. I want a refrigerator so that like a cord
Starting point is 00:44:05 that you could drill a hole, a cord that ran into the cigarette lighter. Let's just get, let's get it wired straight into the car. Why are we mucking around with a plug-in cigarette lighter?
Starting point is 00:44:13 There's never going to be any time it's going to need to not have an arm and gold on it. It's never going to be empty. It's never going to be empty. As soon as it's empty, I'm popping into Mitre 10
Starting point is 00:44:22 and I'm getting a three-pack arm and gold. And then we also put in one of those Wi-Fi buttons, we push it, and it just automatically knows to order more almond gold. Oh, my God. Yeah, the Siri adds it to your shopping list.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Yeah. The groceries being like, why does it say almond gold? I must be low on the car. This woman who nearly died has inspired one of the greatest inventions of our generation. Someone messaged in saying that some cars have fridges. They do. Yes, but we don't own those posh cars.
Starting point is 00:44:44 I splashed out on a Suzuki Jimny. We're not the sort of people who are buying cars with fridges in the console. Yes, but we don't own those posh cars. I splashed out on a Suzuki Jimny. We're not the sort of people who are buying cars with fridges in the console. I'm trying to keep my car but have the Armengold refrigerator in the middle. And maybe make it universal so that if you upgrade your car, you can also take the fridge with you. I'd also put my jubes in there too. Get your jubes out. My jubes?
Starting point is 00:45:02 Get your jubes out. And my little dinosaur lollies. And then they'll be just cool enough. Okay, Timu, car mini fridge. Okay,
Starting point is 00:45:09 great. Where does it fit? Car mini fridge, security verification. I'd give up my glove box. Also sounds like it would burn your car down too. Nah,
Starting point is 00:45:16 this looks like, it keeps asking me to, you know, spin the winning wheel. Spot the owl or something. Go away. Okay. Play ZM's
Starting point is 00:45:24 Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. I just punched myself in the face with the microphone trying to do a great accent of Love Island because there is a new All Stars that has been announced. Fletch. Oh, I'm so excited. Calm down because I know this is your show,
Starting point is 00:45:46 your number one show. Yeah, I know you're excited. Well, I love Love Island, Calm down, because I know this is your show, your number one show. I know you're excited. Well, I love Love Island, but I actually haven't watched that many seasons. You're more maths. You're team maths. Where's the maths bell? I'm just dinging the bell, Vaughn, because we just mentioned maths. Ah, cool. Man, I'm so sorry to have been late back to this break.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Well, Love Island... Discussing my favourite TV shows. Love Island. Mavs and Love Island. Shut up. Love Island All Stars 2025 returns. And it's basically like if you've been on the island before, you come back.
Starting point is 00:46:15 And it's favourites. Yeah. Now, I know that producers Shannon and Carwin love Love Island. And you've watched every season? Most of them. I haven't watched for a couple of seasons. I dip in and I go hard. What was the one where you were watching the whole entire wrong season?
Starting point is 00:46:29 Yeah, that was a couple of years ago. And then everyone started talking about these people and I was like, they must be intruders. And then I realised I was watching last year's season. Okay? Yeah. Yeah. That was so funny when you realised.
Starting point is 00:46:43 I mean, for me. It was funny for us. Yeah, you were like dodging spoilers for the wrong season. Yeah, That was so funny when you realised. I mean, for me, it was funny for us. Yeah, you were like dodging spoilers for the wrong season. Yeah, I was like not going on specific websites so that they didn't get spoilers for something that was filmed in like 2017 or something. Okay, predictions for All Stars 2025. Who would you want to see?
Starting point is 00:46:59 Well, my big thing is season five of Love Island was the peak. We had Tommy, we had Molly Mae, we had Curtis and Amy. It was the best. And honestly, if I could cast this, I'd bring everyone back. Molly Mae is recently divorced. That's true. She'd be the most famous Love Islander, eh?
Starting point is 00:47:16 I would say so. She's the most successful. And Tommy, of course, literally has a Netflix show and is a huge boxer. Big controversy. He wouldn't be going back on. But it would bring me such joy if he did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:27 I watched the, what was the last Love Island season? And it had Jake and Liberty. Liberty. Liberty and Jake were back on the same series, but they didn't have a romantic connection this time. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, last Love Island All Stars was a little bit disappointing. There was a few exes, but they really played it safe.
Starting point is 00:47:44 I'm hoping this year they really just throw all the old couples in together again. I'm actually surprised, Vaughan, that you're not more into Love Island given the bikini-clad women with kisses of just ethnicities from around the world. Nah. It's the moment they open their mouth, they love, innit? No, it's just, I just hate it.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Yeah, this Heidi. I just's just, I just hate it. Yeah, there's Heidi. I just don't like any show like that. I get, I can break it down as a logic woman as to why it's pure trash. And yet, all I have to do is watch, I reckon, like, seven eps and I'm in. I think as well it acts as free relationship therapy because the girls will do something and I'll be like,
Starting point is 00:48:24 I shouldn't do that. That's, like, it makes me reflect as a partner. Wow, it acts as free relationship therapy because the girls will do something and I'll be like, I shouldn't do that. That's like, it makes me reflect as a partner. Wow, it's a learning. It's a learning watching experience for you. Yeah, it's basically therapy. Also very cheap compared to therapy. Yes, yes, yes. So what are the lessons you're taking away from Love Island?
Starting point is 00:48:38 Oh, okay. Like don't cheat. Yeah. Don't cheat. It's not something I do. Shouldn't that just be wired in anyway? Oh man, I was thinking of cheating, but I've just seen the repercussions of it.
Starting point is 00:48:48 I'm going out tonight for a big fat cheat. I'm going to sit down for a quick little episode of Love Island. No, just seeing how toxic they can be and being like, oh, I shouldn't speak to men like that, maybe. Maybe. Karwin, do you? Maybe. Maybe they deserved it.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Karwin, do you have any, like, hopefuls? See, I love Moira, and now she was Moira. I know Moira is such an off name for someone on Love Island. She was just. It was her and Barry. Yeah, Moira. Let's get her and Barry back. She was just on.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Who's covering Shortland Street's reception if Moira's on Bloody Love Island? Oh, no. Yeah, she was just on I'm a Celebrity, and she was so fun on that. Just bring her back. Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, it's coming out next year, top of next year. And then as I believe, as with all seasons of Love Island,
Starting point is 00:49:31 there will be 9,000 episodes. I want to balance this with some award-winning television. Yeah, go on. The trailer, the full trailer is out for White Lotus season three today. And my God. I will say, having watched that trailer with you this morning, there is a body bag in the trailer.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Oh yeah, everybody. As you hope. Someone has to die at the end of every first episode. It's set in Thailand this year. Starts off with a big sawadika. And a great cast by the looks of it as well. I know, including some Kiwis, so that's very exciting. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Open up your little countdown app for Christmas. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I thought you said that that song was called Marshmallows. No. That you thought the lyrics were, put some marshmallows. And I was like, you're wrong. Don't do it, no. Anyway, sorry.
Starting point is 00:50:15 That's a cute idea though, put some marshmallows on the fire. Stay tuned for Hayley's version. It won't be that on Friday. Are you going to do one? Are you going to do like a rap of the year? Yeah, I'm going to do, I'll do something. Okay. Over to you, Vaughan. Are you going to do one? Are you going to do like a wrapped of the year? Yeah, I'm going to do I'll do something. Okay. Over to you Vaughan. Thank you. At the weather desk I can tell you the weather forecast for
Starting point is 00:50:29 Christmas in New Zealand is uncertain. Oh! That'd be right. Long range predictions indicating unsettled and cooler weather for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Now apparently the reason they're struggling is that there's conflicting weather models.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Early forecasts show cloudy, showery conditions for northern and central regions, including Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, with cooler temperatures expected. However, experts caution that the situation could change as Christmas approaches. Well, we're still a while away. Yeah, and it always changes. I mean, yesterday, to be, for example, in Auckland, the day before was a hot, sunny, on-the-deck, enjoying the sun, put some sunblock on day.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Get sunburned day. Yesterday, 30 millimetres of rain. And, like, boom, thunder. Oh, the thunder. It was amazing, eh? Oh, my God. The house rattler. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Real house rattler. Yeah. So the lead-up to Christmas is suggesting possible showers. Boxing day, drier conditions are expected for the country. So it's kind of this messy, uncertain, and in the next couple of days, they'll be able to tell the direction of this weather pattern better. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:37 And do they know about New Year's yet? No. Okay. Okay. Come on, Fletch. Where are you going to be on Christmas Day? What's your weather going to be? I'm not here, so I don't... No, but that's where she wants to know where you're going to be. Oh, come on, Fletch. Where are you going to be on Christmas Day? What's your weather going to be? Why not here?
Starting point is 00:51:46 No, but that's where she wants to know where you're going to be. Oh, is it too far out? I'm going to be hiking. Yeah. Yeah, it's too far out to know. Could be anything. Could be anything, but yeah. Fingers crossed it'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:51:58 It's actually never good on Christmas Day. Do you know what I mean? It's never really. I remember as a kid, some sweltering Christmas. I feel the same. It used to always feel like it was great weather. But then I think that's maybe because you're a kid and it was like the magic of it. And you remember when you got out and played with your toys.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Santa doesn't even visit me anymore. Because you're very naughty. I am naughty. He still visits me. He won't even go within a kilometre of Fletcher's house. Well, that's because I don't have a chimney. I'm in an apartment. You're too naughty. You're too naughty.

Starting point is 01:04:46 Oh, that's nice. That sounds all right. I love reading. I love chocolate. Yeah. I'm going to read this Christmas. Oh, yeah? Well, just when you were talking about this,
Starting point is 01:04:53 I was like, yeah, I've got to pick my books. I've got so many ready to go. Yeah. Or you could just scroll on Instagram reels. Can I? And burn through the same amount of time. Learn nothing. Become dumber and go.
Starting point is 01:05:07 But surely that'll run out, right? And I'll have to find a book. Has it run out for you yet? You'll never find the bottom of it. No. Oh my God. That's so much easier. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:05:16 I'll do that then. God, thank God. It's just terrible for your brain too, which is great. So today's Spectre of the Day, if you're after a new Icelandic Christmas tradition, your love book of Lord is where on Christmas Eve you exchange books and then spend the rest of the night reading those
Starting point is 01:05:32 books and eating delicious chocolate. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. I didn't think this was that bad. Okay, well, I... This is very rude from you. I know.
Starting point is 01:06:03 I've been sleeping terribly recently, and this morning I woke up, like, well ahead of my alarms. Yeah. You know, and then it's just sort of like, meh. Just get up. Whatever. Yeah, so I got up, got my stuff together, and I was like, I'll put my smoothie together.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Then I'll brush my teeth and da-da-da-da-da. So I went into the kitchen and I do my thing. And I tighten the Nutribullet and I put it on the thing. And then I get it off. And sometimes it's like sometimes What was brrp brrp brrp? That's the sound of the blender That is wild that you blend Wait so It goes brrp brrp brrp
Starting point is 01:06:36 Yeah okay Because you can't pre-make them a head Nah because they separate I can't do it at them a head. Nah, because they separate and go, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't do it at work. I'm not bringing my Nutribullet in. How far away is... Isn't there a Nutribullet here? You could just bring in the thing and...
Starting point is 01:06:52 Is there? Yeah. I think there's a base here. Are all the bases universal? No, there's one in the kitchen. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. All right, well, this is good. No, they didn't supply it.
Starting point is 01:07:01 We don't accept supplies. It's from the Ku Klux Klan. No, we don't, we don't. By our own. Well, no, because I'm at one end of the house and't accept appliances from the Ku Klux Klan. No, we don't. By our own. Well, no, because I'm at one end of the house and the bedroom's at the other with the door closed. Okay, so that's not true. But there is no door to the kitchen.
Starting point is 01:07:12 So it is kitchen straight into a hallway and then his door. I was going to say, you don't live in the Zuru mansion. You are describing a standard sort of three bedroom cottage. It's not a big house. Oh, whatever. This is the guy who just also keeps me awake A lot of the times Couldn't agree more
Starting point is 01:07:28 Do you know I've stopped doing the polite you're snoring Where I just roll And kick a leg back now Oh yeah my politeness left years ago And they're like why are you waking me up Because I am not asleep and that's your fault And if they've snored all night The goodbye kiss in the morning is more of a casual headbutt.
Starting point is 01:07:45 I think you need a sleep divorce. Wake up. People are loving the sleep divorce. I have been vouching for this but he hates it. Yeah. He's like no I can't sleep when you're not there. Stop loving me so hard. What are you obsessed with me? Anyway, so I do my smoothie and
Starting point is 01:08:01 I cannot get it undone. Sometimes I have it too weak and it spills everywhere. Yeah. And I had it tight and it's almost like the shaking of the thing just tightened it beyond. I was doing everything. I'm not weak. I could, ugh, I was really trying.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Do you drink it on the way to work? Yeah, oh, I drink it when I get here. Today I drank it on the way. We've got two strong boys here. Yeah. I mean, I arrive after you. There might be some separation of smoothie by the time I get here, but Fletch would be ready to go. No, but I wanted to
Starting point is 01:08:27 have it in my little takeaway cup with the straw. Oh, you want to drink it? So I was like, that's perfect. I saw it. I pulled it out of the dishwasher and was like, this is great. I was ready to go. So it's 4.30 in the morning. Yeah. And the lid is stuck on the Nutribullet. Yeah. So I just toot-a-doodle-doo down the hole with my Nutribullet
Starting point is 01:08:43 and I open up the door and then I go, and I shake him and he's like, what? And I said, can you open my Nutribullet? Oh my God. That's monstrous. That is monstrous behaviour. I was like, I can't get the lid off my Nutribullet. Did you try banging it on something?
Starting point is 01:08:58 My benchtop's a wreck. No, not on your benchtop. There is not a bangable surface in my house, as you know. No, I couldn't. Is there anything bangable in your house? There's literally not a single bangable thing. Would you have gone out onto the concrete? Give it a bang bang.
Starting point is 01:09:13 What concrete? No. The gravel driveway? No. I just gave him a shove. Startled him. Yeah. And then got him to undo it.
Starting point is 01:09:22 And then in his half sleep, he's sort of like, what? Like, can you undo my neutral bullet? Why? It's stuck. It's too tight. I can't get her off. He's like, oh, I'll pass it here. Just goes.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Oh. And then what? Straight back to sleep? Yeah. Or you'd woken him up now. Thank you. Sorry about that. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:38 I just closed the door. It went about my morning and left. Hopefully he imagined that he thought that was a dream. Yeah. And then you won't be in trouble today. Maybe I should go home. Maybe I should go home. This is gaslighting. Maybe I should go home and be like, man, I had such a good toast for breakfast this morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Start the gaslighting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Start the gaslighting. You had a smoothie. No, no. I haven't had a smoothie this week. I'm off smoothies. Because we're out of smoothie ingredients. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you literally got me to open the Nutribullet this morning. And the Nutribullet lid won't tighten so it leaks a bit. Yeah. I was going to say ingredients. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you literally got me to open the Nutribullet this morning. And the Nutribullet lid won't tighten, so it leaks a bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:07 Yeah. I was going to say that. Yeah, yeah. No, but the Nutribullet blade's sitting in the sink. No, you're crazy. Oh. It was right there. What are you even pointing at?
Starting point is 01:10:16 You're crazy. What are you even pointing at, bro? You need a piece of toast. Play ZM's Flesh, Fun, and Hayley. Was it on the podcast on air that I said my brother wanted to get my parents
Starting point is 01:10:27 a dash cam for Christmas? Oh yes, I remember. I think it was a podcast and it might have been a podcast only. Okay. A little bit of pod.
Starting point is 01:10:34 If you just can't get enough on the radio, boy we've got a little bit of pod. Oh, we've got extras, don't we? We've got extras. Yeah. Sometimes naughtier.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Just, yeah, a little bit naughtier. Find the podcast iHeartRadio or wherever you podcast. That's right. KPI. It's a KPI. Just getting a couple of KPIs naughtier. Find the podcast, iHeartRadio or wherever you podcast. That's right. KPI. It's a KPI.
Starting point is 01:10:47 Just getting a couple of KPIs for the end of the week. That's good stuff from you. Well, he wanted to get them a dash cam. And I was like, I don't super see the point of a dash cam. Yeah, it's just a nothing gift. Yeah. Like. Like, unless there's a meteor or some.
Starting point is 01:11:00 Yeah, how good's a Russian dash cam? Yeah, or like a truck in front of you swerves off the road and you've got it. You've got the footage. And I drive all that stuff. So, like, someone else will have it's a Russian dash cam. Yeah, or like a truck in front of you swerves off the road and you've got it. You've got the footage. And I drive all that stuff. Yeah, what even's still like, someone else will have it. You'll be good. So, I, actually, advertising works.
Starting point is 01:11:14 Oh, does it? Because I heard about- That's a KPI. Audio advertising works because I heard about this on a podcast on iHeartRadio. It was an ad for a digital photo frame
Starting point is 01:11:27 where there's an app associated and multiple people can have the app and they put photos into the app and it puts them into the frame regardless of where the frame is. Oh, yes, yes, yes. I've heard this advertised. Okay, you would buy your mum and dad a digital photo frame, which they've been around for a while. They have been, yes, but you plug like
Starting point is 01:11:43 USBs into them and such. But you, your sister and your brother would have that app with access to the account and we would upload photos. And via Wi-Fi, they just appear at your parents' house if you got them though. Oh, I don't know if your mum and dad would want that, would they? I'd do silly things. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:12:01 I'd be like, my mum would be like, oh, got to go. You know, Joe and Barry are coming over for dinner. And I'd be like, are they? We'll see about that. And then I'd be putting all my mum would be like, oh, gotta go. You know, Joe and Barry are coming over for dinner. And I'd be like, are they? We'll see about that. And then putting all that big. Your bums. Yeah, diddles and stuff. So here's my problem that I spotted after I thought about it.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Yeah. Is that it would be a competition on who could get the most pictures of their kids in there. Oh, 100%. And it'd be like, oh, my kids did this, that, and the other. Oh, you think that's like, oh, my kids did this, that, and the other. Oh, you think that's great. Well, my kids did this, that, and the other. And I'm at a disadvantage because I've got two and I've got three each. So they're going to have more kids doing more things.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Yeah. Well, you can put pictures of us, Augie, Indy, and then Hayley and Fledge. Add you to my portfolio of children. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look what Hayley did today. To put it in the digital photo frame. It would become competitive. Yeah, it would.. Look what Hayley did today. To put it in the digital photo frame. It would become competitive. Yeah, it would.
Starting point is 01:12:47 It would be ruined. And it would be like, there would be so many, because that's the other thing. Someone's going to go back, I'll get a memory of like a cute old photo of the girls and I'll be like, oh, mum and dad love that photo and I'll put it in there. And then my sister will be like,
Starting point is 01:12:59 oh, we're putting baby photos in, are we? Yeah, yeah. And she's got eight billion professional photos of her kids. Yeah. And I think we've had one family photo shoot the whole time because I'm just like, I don't like them because they're like, smile now and I'm like, it's impossible for you to do that. Impossible. So then she's going to go,
Starting point is 01:13:15 and then my brother's going to be like, what kind of photos are you guys putting in there? And then he's going to be like, anything. What could you set? And then I'm going to start putting in photos of the dogs. You mean so each family has, if you're going to, it's like when MySpace only let you have 30 photos so if you were going to put some new ones on you'd
Starting point is 01:13:32 take some old ones now. You'd get some old ones off. Yeah. You could say like we're doing five a month, we do them on the first. Or, here's what I'm thinking. Okay. We get three of these frames and each family gets their own frame. Yeah. So how much is a frame?
Starting point is 01:13:48 If they're overloading... Nearly $200. Oh, but then if you just go third it's a lot cheaper. I'm just looking at one, I'm looking at a 10 inch digital photo frame and it's $188
Starting point is 01:13:57 which I'm told on this website is a great deal. 10 inches is diagonal, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So that's like that. Well, that's not too bad.
Starting point is 01:14:04 You didn't need to pull out the... Frame. Take measure. Take measure. Everyone knows what 10 inches is. So that's like that. Well that's not too bad. You didn't need to pull out the tape measure. Everyone knows what 10 inches is. No they don't. We know what 10 inches is. I know what 10 centimetres is. Far more of a far more of a metric boy than an imperial. Do you give me a 7 inch? Because I'd have no clue. I've got no reference point.
Starting point is 01:14:20 An inch is 2.2 ish. Is that only centimetres that ruler? Yeah. Tape measure. Is that only centimetres, that ruler? Yeah. That tape measure. So that one's $96. So maybe you could go three of the smaller ones. Yeah, three small.
Starting point is 01:14:31 And you could have the QMU Smiths and da-da-da-da-da. You're gifting this to your parents and they're going to put it in their house. They should choose the photos. No, this is the whole point. No, because they won't. Because what it's beyond them. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Or they because they won't. Because what is beyond them? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:45 Yeah, totally. Or they'll put in a couple. You'll teach them how to do a couple and they'll never change them. The point is that they'll be walking around and go, I didn't see that. Have you seen that picture of August? Oh, look at that. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:54 And you don't tell them and it just updates. And they're like, oh, that one's a nice one. And then mum will be like, wait here, Rhian. It'll be back on soon. And they'll sit there. And then they'll sit there and it'll become their new TV. Well, they're retired. That's how they can pass the day, just waiting to see the. No, we've seen that one. Hold on, there's another one. There's another. That's'll sit there. And then they'll sit there and it'll become their new TV. Will they retire? That's something that can pass the day, just waiting to
Starting point is 01:15:05 see the... No, we've seen that one. Hold on, there's another one. There's another, that's an old one. I've got to go. I've got to go do something. There's someone who'll be like, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. Do you want to see this photo or not? I think this is a great gift for people with grandchildren. Is there a limit though on the app for photos each?
Starting point is 01:15:22 Or would you just have to make that a rule? Like, hey, we'll all put on 10 of our kids or us. A thousand photos. The Frameo frame can reliably store more than a thousand photos. The minute you said a thousand photos? 333. Who's getting the extra one? Do you know what's not done by photos?
Starting point is 01:15:41 It's done by gigabytes. Now, you mentioned that your sister has professional photos. Oh, that big of photos. So she's going to have done by photos. It's done by gigabytes. Now, you mentioned that your sister has professional photos. Oh, they're bigger photos. So she's going to have higher resolution photos. Her photos are going to take up the eight gig quicker than your bloody iPhone snaps. Yeah. Your 100 megabyte iPhone 10s. Yeah, I think you're right.
Starting point is 01:15:55 You've got to get an individual one. I'm going to tell them to get the smaller frames and I'm going to get the bigger one. I go in the middle. I was going to say. And then I'm going to get a little one. I go in the middle and then I'm going to get a little sign made for the middle child. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:09 That's what my frame will say. A lot of people are texting and saying that they love these things. It's a great, it's honestly a great idea. It's great for like grandparents. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:19 My father-in-law has one. Yep. And now that he like is living in our cottage, he takes a lot of photos of the dogs. The dogs are in it more than the grandchildren. And I regularly remind my children, his grandchildren.
Starting point is 01:16:32 In fact, this is a message to all of his grandchildren. Yep. He doesn't like you as much as he likes the dogs. That's the truth. That's God's honest truth. He does not like you as much as he likes the golden retriever and the groodle. He just doesn't. And he never will. And he never will.
Starting point is 01:16:45 And he never will. And that's life. Another podcast in the bag. The plastic bag. Are they back? No, no, still banned. Okay. They never left.
Starting point is 01:16:57 That's where you come in with the line, boy. Boy, man, if you enjoyed that. Okay. Oh, and if you enjoyed it, give us a rating and a review and be sure to tell all of your friends. God, I you enjoyed that. Okay.
