From the ZM Podcast Network. This is Fletchwin and Haley's Big Pod. Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse. The biggest brands are the lowest prices. Good morning, Fleech Fawn and Haley. Happy Wednesday. Feels like after yesterday we had like so many celebs on the show. I know.

Now it's just Fletchforn and Haley. Zero celebs on the show today. But Dealer Reveal returns with Brin the banker at 8 o'clock. So cash up for grabs. I love playing this game. It's so much fun. I loved making Steve Fonels. Toussaint from a House of the Dragon

player yesterday. That was fun. Fun, yes. Okay, so 8 o'clock? Went to the HBO Max launched last night. Party boy. Played the game.

How old do you reckon that guy is with so many people? Oh, I was showing everyone. I can't believe he's 61. That's insane. Yeah. That was the general consensus when I said to people

how old you think that guy is. Unreal. Unreal. Well, yeah, if you want to win some cash, make sure you're listening at 8 o'clock for the Activator. The top six, is coming up, the FIFA World Cup is on.

And it's taking up 7% of internet traffic. Global internet traffic. That's huge, that's massive. Wait, no, yesterday... When we drew with Iran, was that good? Because they meant to beat us. People were celebrating. Yeah.

Because any time we don't lose, it football's pretty good. Right. I found this, the FIFA YouTube channel has two-minute recaps of every game. And all it shows is the good goals. and great shots and stuff. So that's great because it's 90 minutes. I know. It's a bit long, isn't it?

And nothing happens. You decide. Yeah. I think I'm on game of two halves next week where I've got to pretend like I know about sports. So those would be perfect for me. Wait, they invited you back?

Two more. Wow. Okay. Sporty gal. She's a sporty gal. She's a sporty gal. I'm not just a small leggings and a basketball jump at a day.

I'm just a sports is life. Well, the top six dealing with the fact that FIFA World Cup is 7% of internet traffic soon. Yep. Yep. But next, on the show, I dare say a historic crime?

Yeah, nine years after this crime that we only talked about the other day wondering if it had been solved and it hadn't been. It's almost like us talk about it, solved it. We brought it back into the site. We put it out there. We did.

We manifested it. We did. We manifested. An old internet famous crime has been solved. Play that ends. Flesh Vaughan and Haley. The most charring part about this article that we're about to read is this part.

This happened on May 5th, 2017, comma, nine years ago. Close, next comma. 2017 was nine years ago? That can't be right. Yeah. That's ridiculous. It's insane.

Like, do you know, it's like, soon will be like, oh, remember COVID was like 10 years ago? I don't want, I don't want to. Because it's already six. Six years ago. That's insane. I know.

I remember when 9-11 was five years ago. All right, Grandad. I remember when the plane crashed into the South Tower. we couldn't believe what we were seeing. That's straight up going to be my own when I'm an old man. I woke up and I heard the radio say that the Twentowns. Anyway, May 5th, 2017, a man jogging along a road in Putney, South West London, shoved a 33-year-old woman,

and she ended up getting by a bus. Yeah. And no one is the Putney pusher. Yeah. Nine years ago. And we talked about this only a few weeks ago because it was, the nine-year anniversary of this incident. In 2018, detective said, we have exhausted all of our lines of inquiry.

This week, they arrested somebody. A millionaire. A multi-millionaire banking executive and former army captain has been arrested for pushing the woman into the path of the bus. Finally. Yeah. Because there was pretty good, Kampen. camera footage. It wasn't like super HD

or 4K. Yeah. Nah, but there was. There was footage. But if you'd not, like if that was you, I would have been like, oh, that's my mate. Vojewishing the woman. Same. Like, oh, that's my friend, Haley shoving someone in front of a bus. You'd recognize them. Yeah, you'd be like, you silly tart. Why'd you

go ahead do that? Well, I'll have to say something now. Police interviewed 50 men and arrested three different people during the investigation, but no charges were ever laid. Did they, was he one of the people they talked to? It doesn't say whether or not But they say it was new information had led to the rest of a 44-year-old man.

So at the time, he would have been 35 when he shoved the 33-year-old woman and she went into the way. Because there was no rhyme or reason as to why he pushed her. He went out of his way to push her. It wasn't like she was running or he was running into her.

Yeah, it was a, the video's a weird one to watch. It was like an incredibly, like a horribly intrusive thought. So what's going to happen to him now? Yeah, yeah. What was he? being charged with? They said he was being charged with grievous bodily harm? Yeah, okay. And then that was the charge. She didn't die.

She didn't die. Attempted Grievous bodily harm. So apparently 15 minutes after it happened, he ran back across the bridge and she tried to confront him and he was like, and ignored her, like, brush her off. Which I didn't know until today. I didn't know that. I didn't know that either. Yeah. You would confront them. And there would have been

phones back, like good phone cameras. Yeah, yeah. Why didn't she get a camera out? It was in a couple of years ago. No, it's nine years ago, Haley. So is this ongoing? Like they're going to do a whole thing now? Well, you're just arrested. Well, yeah, yeah, he's been arrested.

This is fresh hot news. This is great. This needs to be a Netflix show. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, maybe just a move. It wouldn't be a whole series. We need to know why the Putney pusher pushed. Yeah.

Why? Yeah. Putney pusher pushed a person and pickled its peppers in front of a pus. Because you'd think of it was someone that she'd had previous grievances that she would have been able to identify him. But this was a complete. That's why the internet has been thrilled with this for the last nine years.

And finally there's some resolution. I love this. It was, because we did talk about this a few weeks ago, I did get a couple of links from listeners with this story. Who had heard us talking about it and also invested in the fact that someone's So there you go, we've got an answer.

Tanty. Do you reckon he just had a tante? Yeah, a multi-millionaire banker. Well, at least he'll be able to pay for the lawyers, I guess. You know what I mean? Yeah. He'll be like, oh, yeah. It was a bit of fun, a thrill. Yeah, that's the thing when you've got so much money.

Like, how do you get a thrill in life, you know? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. That's what I mean. Like money doesn't give you your thrill, so you're sort of like, maybe I'll take someone's life. Maybe. Kind of like a squid game kind of like betting on.

Yeah, and just see what happens. Yeah. I reckon there's people with heaps of money that haven't felt the need. No, absolutely. Yeah. I reckon just playing with yourself in the kitchen and tick that box. what I think too. Have a fiddle in the kitchen.

Kitchen's a wild place for a way. Yeah, but do it. Do you know what I mean? For the thrill. For the thrill. It's a weird, like, because there's no curtains. No one's got curtains in their kitchen.

Surfaces everywhere. It's sort of like the middle of the house. Yeah. It's probably, well, you two are not invited to my house after my kitchen renovation. It's probably tough. Well, we will be invited, thank very much,

and we will fiddle with ourselves in your kitchen. The Z&M Podcast Network. The Little Pole today is how often do you clean up your camera roll? You're tidying up that bad boy or are you just letting it... Let it accumulate. Oh no, I hate it. I hate it. Just too many photos, it's too much. How do I find out how many photos?

I love... I love... Mine is... What did you say, 50,000 photos? 82,000 photos, 11,000 videos. How do you see that? Are you on your... I'm just on my laptop.

I haven't synced to the old laptop for a while. Yeah. And I haven't opened up that photo for it to drag it all off the place. Well, it's all cost you storage, doesn't it? And some people prefer to dump the photos on a hard drive as a backup. But then the cloud's the ultimate backup, isn't it? Yeah. Unless you get locked out of the cloud.

Unless you get locked out of the cloud. Get back in the cloud. Well, the options were cleaning it up very regularly, like a weekly basis. Every few weeks, every few months, or hardly ever. 70% of people said hardly ever. Yeah. 17 said every few months. Eight said every few weeks.

And 5% said regularly, like on a weekly basis. Oh, wow. Because you just take so many photos of crap. Like, I don't know. Oh my God, it's the pets. And so I hate having a camera roll that's got like, I don't know, you take a photo of a sign because you need the info. I don't need that in five years.

I don't even delete it. Yeah, I do. I just sit there and just go through their phone being like delete. Yeah. Like just if you're waiting, you're on a plane or something. That app, hey, and you do it every day? Yes. And you go through the photos that you've taken on that day in history

and you delete the ones you don't want, and then after a year, supposedly you've got rid of them. And sometimes there's a group photo and you've got like 10 of the same photo. Yeah, just leave them all there. Just delete nine of them and keep one. Yeah, yeah.

Or keep all 10, you know. Alicia said, I only have a clean-up when Apple tells me I'm nearly out of phone storage. Oh, yeah. Get in the cloud, babes. Work stuff gets deleted every week. All the other picks are well overdue a clean-up, says Kylie. So she goes through the, she deletes all the work-related.

screen caps and stuff, I guess, like we were. Like yesterday I needed a QR code and so I just went into my album and searched QR code. I have got so many QR codes. Oh yeah. Yeah, the search features good. Yeah. It's pretty good identifying things too, eh? A 2021 study showed that

an average person takes about 900 photos a year. While most of the unwanted images are left in storage could accumulate all of this carbon, all these emissions. I just searched QR code to try to find, and I found

the cutest photo of us ever. I don't think I've seen this one. When was that taken? Especially Martinez, it was last year's radio awards where we were like treading and hot. Oh, God, dear. Yeah. Oh, look, we look so handsome. Handsome. I'm hearting that. That's going to my

favourites photo. That's going on the faves. Laura said my favourite plane activity is going through my photos and deleting the ones I don't want anymore. It's a good way to pass the time on the phone. Living some memes. Kelsey said, day with the SwipeWipe app that I think Shannon

or Carwin recommended a few years ago. That's the one we were saying that you can go through. Swipe wipe. What's the call Swipe wipe? Here's another way of looking at it. If you've got all these wasteful photos, you're ruining the planet. 100 photos and a couple of videos equate to the CO2 production of a 17 kilometre drive-by car. Oh, wow. That's all right. 17, it's not that bad.

Do you know, I was looking up QR codes. Here's a New Zealand Travel Pass and there's my positive COVID test. Because it's quite fun. Because there's a QR code on it. On the test.

Yeah, okay. I have a toddler who knows how to take pictures when my phone's unlocked. If I didn't delete them, I'd have no storage left, said Nikita. Yeah, and that's the other thing. Yeah, you pay for more storage. Your phone runs out. From Nikita to Tanita

who says, I just pay Google to store more and more. Yeah. More and more. Tamsden said, I got photos on my phone from 10 years ago. dot dot dot yeah me too

that's the good stuff Megan said great hack Everyday search that day's date and your camera roll it will bring up every photo taken on that date do a big colour of all those

I stuck to this for six months last year I cleaned out 4,000 pictures then gave up this swipe wipe Yeah You're taking a lot

She's doing manual swipe Wipe Wap Manual swipe wipe Um Sean says only when the phone storage is at it's maximum It's warning me That will stop

It will cease to function Yeah If I don't clean it up So silly little poll, we ask how often you clean up the camera, or 70% of you? Hardly ever. The flesh morning, Haley, big pod. Fast food restaurant has done something that I'm surprised places haven't done sooner. What have they done?

They have entered our cars. Okay. It's weird the apps that you find on your car play. I know because I only use like three of them. And pages and pages of apps on your phone. And then you plug your car play in. And some of them are there. That's interesting that you've chosen to have an app.

that works in a car. In a car. I mean, most of them the navigation apps, right? Navigation messages and music. And that's why it surprised me about having chat chippy tea in there. The little logo was on there

is like, what do you do? And yeah, you could have a full conversation with it. Yeah, weird. You'd just be on a two-hour drive and just conversate with your AI buddy. Yeah, yeah. Get a friend. No.

Also the IHart Radio apps in there. Just give a KPO for that. You can listen to our show live and the podcast. Yeah. On to mine anywhere, really, while you're in your car. but a Australian fast food restaurant has kind of Yeah I get not really shocked but just kind of Cause a bit of a stir

Well it gets just people like oh okay So you got us there What are they doing? Because you can now order it's a Mexican restaurant Yeah which one Guzman Oh Guzman Gourmes

And Gomes And you see it everywhere When you go to Australia It's not bad for a salad You're not bad see it everywhere, but they have now... It's not authentic... A casual, a Mexican restaurant.

It's not far from... It's fast food. It's just fast food. It's fast food. They do a good chucky salad. So with their car play app, you can now order in the app and via car play, and then you can, basically, it'll direct you to the nearest restaurant. So if you're driving along and you're hungry... It's wild.

And you're in your car, you just press it and go. And, I mean, why is... Like, I looked up, Maccas aren't doing this. I think Duncan Don't. You should be able to order in the app too so then when you get there she's ready to go and it will know how far away you are. It does.

That's what it does. Oh, you order in the app too. That's wild. That's what I'm saying. He shouldn't be driving and ordering. It does after you order. That's terrible. That's why I'm saying it's not just a MAPS app.

You shouldn't be doing that while you drive it. No. So that's why, I think that's the reason Maccas haven't done it because it's a safety issue. Because you're driving along you're like, I need a cheesy bee. Plow into the back of the truck because you're looking at the cheesy bees. There was, I did.

find Duncan in America because you know Duncan in America they're everywhere the Duncan Donuts a lot of Americans go there for coffee, obviously the donuts as well. They've got a car play app, they've had it since 2021. Pizarre. But that just looks more

like a map kind of a to get to the nearest store. Oh no, you can order as well, Cocoa Milk Latte Mini. Oh, I wouldn't be getting a Cocoa Milk Latte Mini. And that's on Google Play or the App Store. So yeah, they're there are there and they've been in the for a while.

Wild. But insane, right? Like, they're, how is it, how is every fast food place not on car play and on our car screens? I think because you're not supposed to tutu with your screen. But if you're in the light,

I mean, like anything. My Apple CarPlay doesn't work. I was going to say, surely that can make the app not work while you're moving. Yeah, my whole car play, you can't touch it. You've got to use the things. Oh, yeah, the Mazda does have a little knobby-nob,

so that you're not like just tapping on it, basically texting on the thing. Yeah, yeah. But I suppose if you've got it, got into your car and then did it I suppose you just did it on your phone you just do it on your phone yeah yeah

it'll be like are you the passenger and you're like yes on the passenger I'm just on the wrong side and then your car's like well actually there's no one in the passenger seat because I've got the weight thing you'll be like it's in America I know if the belt's done up it's actually my goal is to one day sit in the seat

and it doesn't detect you doesn't detect me okay I've had like when the kids were little sitting in the car it sets it off so you'd have to weigh like 15 kilograms. You're skinny. Your goal weight is 15 kilograms.

My goal weight's skinny. Okay, so you're just going to be a head. We're just going to be carrying around a head. I'm just cremated, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had the opposite the other day. Imagine that. You, you die and we cremate, you pop me on the seat and it's like,

bing bing bong, bing bong. Yeah, and I'm still 20 kg. That'd be right. The other day I was in the back of an Uber, and my ass had spread so much onto the middle. It was ding-donging the middle seat to put on its seat, but there's no one there. That hurts, eh.

Yeah, that's not me. That's me spilling over from the right-handed passenger seat. Oh, no. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. From the Fletchhorn and Haley group chat, this is the top six. The FIFA World Cup final will use 7% of the entire internet traffic. Is it because we stream sports more now?

Yeah. Yep. Yeah, you think about it. If everybody watching it on Terrestrial was also streaming it. Yeah. Whoa. I haven't watched any of it. I don't know why,

because I'm usually such a huge sports fanat. You're such a huge football fan. Well, you've got to find the past, don't you? Do you? Yeah. Does it just come with SkySport? No, it's TVNZ. Oh, that's right.

Correcto, correcto, Mundo. I was watching the highlights I'd said before on the FIFA YouTube channel. Yep. You can just watch two minute highlights of the games. And sometimes it's all goals, and sometimes it's like the shots that miss the close. but it's great.

It's like two minutes. That seems to be the uniform that they're sticking to. It's good. Now I was watching the highlights. FIFA just makes me think of fly and fly away. You know, like fly and fly out. FIFO. But FIFA is, what did you say?

Fly and fly away. It also works. The Dutch uniform. Are they always, because they're orange. They always have the best uniform at the way. Olympics or any World Cup. It was, it's so orange this time. Oh, not a good orange.

E-yoish. It's like orange. Oh. It looks like he needs a pedal pop sign. Oh, really? Yeah. Like he's stopped going. High Viz.

Orange. Orange. So it's going to use 7% of the internet traffic. The final is. And the... I can't remember which American company is in charge of taking the... All the camera feeds from the actual games. The reps are wearing cameras.

That's a cool angle. Yeah, they are. The refs are wearing... And there's like one in the back of the gold. as well. There's some cool camera angles. All of the camera feeds that are going back to the central thing, the telecommunications company that's in charge of that, was it Verizon?

Maybe. AT&T, one of those big American companies, has just like blocked out enough internet to do it like five times over because they just don't want any incidents. Yeah, right. Or any glitches or any like anything other than HD HD. So 7% of their whole internet is going to be used.

28 terabytes of data every single second. Which is large? Which is times. It's more than a USB stick. Way more than a USB stick. Yeah. But that still was only 7% of the internet. So what's the other 93%?

I've done some investigation. Okay. These are the big ones that will be using a lot of the internet at the same time as the FIFA World Cup final. Number six on the list. Couples using AI to settle an argument. Huge, apparently a huge drain on the internet at the moment. We're going to talk about.

this on the show today are couples arguing. Yes. Cool study that works in my favour. But yeah, people using AI in an argument. And the problem is, AI is such like a pandering, like, of course, hon. Everyone's just like... Being told exactly what... I got just so right there actually.

You are so right. He's wrong. And then his is like, you are so right. She's so wrong. She's crazy. And then, you've course, screenshot that, send it off using a ton of internet. I love it when AI's like, I'm sorry you're dealing with this, hon. You know like, yeah. Thank you.

Yes. I really needed to hear that. Thanks, AI. Number five on the list of the top six things using the other 93% of the internet are in the World Cup final. People watching a show, they've already seen nine times and just wanted to watch it again in their comfort watch it. Yeah, that's fair enough.

I can't do that. Oh my God, I'm like that. Friends. I get paralyzed by the idea of something new. So you need a little bit of comfort. Yeah, I think I'll just watch Friends again. Right, a little bit more friends. Number four on the list of the top six things using the other 93% of the internet is.

is kids recording themselves saying 6-7. Still, quite surprisingly. Still, quite surprisingly. Well, the Pope brought it back, didn't they? Yeah. You know something's cool when... The Pope's doing. The old man in charge of an archaic church structure is doing 6-7.

He didn't know what he was doing, though. He was tricked into a 6-7. Yeah, he was. And number three on the list of the top six things using the other 93% of the Internet are in the FIFA World Cup final. AI videos of things that never happened that your mum think did happen.

Like the bunny rabbits on the trampoline. Yeah. Now we all fell for that. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't. I think I might have. I'm not sure. Yeah, you did.

I think so. Just for a bit. I was like, how they all get up? And then thank God they shut down that AI video app because things were getting a bit crazy for a while there and I didn't know what was real. I think when the queen turned into a rocket and went to the moon. Was that fake?

No, that's how she wanted to go. Oh, okay. No, no, no. So I'm saying like examples, people taking that iconic video of the queen who turned into the rocket going to moon. You know, using AI to manipulate that raw footage. Right. Yeah.

Number two on the list of the top six things he's in the other 93% of the internet are in the World Cup final to group chats just just group chats Well we're taking up a fair chunk we're in at least seven Yeah photos being sent

Reels being sent Actually a large part of that group chat Is somebody sending a reel to the group chat That's already been sent to the group chat They just haven't been keeping up Because I don't keep up Yeah It's embarrassing when somebody does that

I do it all the time Because I don't actually check Yeah I don't check what you think is going to be funny It feels good when you haven't been in the group chat and you send a reel to the group chat and you go in and it's straight underneath somebody else who sent that reel to the group chat

you're like, where it's sync? Yeah. No, it makes me feel good. No, I think it's the worst because you're like, dude, I literally just sent this. That made you think of me. I was thinking of you.

Yeah, I suppose, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And number one on the list of the top six uses of 93% in the history in the FIFA World Cup finalists. People are having just another re-listen to that Puerto Rico song. Shakira. No.

The Puerto Rico song. The AI generated port. Oh, I'll get a couple of them. Wilma's in Studea. Have you guys not heard of the Puerto Rico song? I have, but I don't... Oh, give it to me, come on. No, it's bloody stupid.

Get me up to play. So there's this travel blogger, right? And he... Sax boy, Billy, and he travels around. I can't believe I'm explaining something to someone seven years younger than me. No, I know, but I don't like it. It was made by AI. Because he traveled, and apparently he's done multiple ones of these when he gets to a place.

He just types in what he did when he got there, and AI turns it into a song. Oh, gosh. then this is what he did Puerto Rico. I'm honestly in all surprised that this hasn't popped up on our playlist. Like honestly shoot me on the face. This is terrible. This is void of art. That's what I'll say.

It's a void of any creativity or art. It's catchy. And Huey Lewis would sue them. It's given, it's a huge 80s energy, eh? Yeah. Oh, the synth. What's that? The 80s sin.

So when my kids were listening to this, I was like, I thought it was an old song. Yeah. That had found its place on TikTok. I thought it was from the 80s. No, you can hear the AI gleam. Oh, it's hideous. Okay.

I think I'm ready just to unplug the internet. I think I'm ready to like go nonverbal for a month. Unplay. I sing it. Put me in a little. Put me in like a box for a bit. He did ask you put in a box and I was like, this is what the studio is. Like a coffin.

Yeah, right. As long as there's oxygen and I'm sleeping and there's a... Oh, you want oxygen. God he wants it all. I want a catheter. So I don't have to wake up to pee. That'd be really great. That's today's top six. The Flet's morning, Haley, big pod. I'll never forget the moment that I was, I'll say a teenager.

And I had a boyfriend and it was the peak of summer. and boy boy did I come home with one hell of a scarf on. And you can't bullshit a bullshit, and the moment I walked in, my mum just looked at me and goes, take your scarf off. I said, no, I'm feeling unwell. I'm feeling unwell. Yeah, because some dudes just been, it was like,

you're chewing at your neck. I'm feeling unwell. And she said, take your bloody scarf off. And I took it off. And I had numerous hickeys from my boyfriend at the time, who they knew and liked. Yeah. And the next time Ben came over to my house, my mum said,

you cut it out. She told him off. So I don't want to see any more of that shit. Did he have any... Is that the one of the Deputy Mayor of Wellington? No, different Ben. Different Ben. I would never drag him through the mud like that.

A man working in politics. No, different Ben. I reckon shit gets kanky and the beehive. No, probably. They're bored. Well, photos have gone viral of Deerleaper and Callum Turner. On their honeymoon in Italy, and they are having just, they're...

That's a hot couple. Oh, man, and they're just like, you know, post-wedding blasts all over each other. But there was a great image of them. They're on like a little boat. They've got these little sort of deck chairs and dinghies and stuff. And Callum Turner leans forward. And he absolutely has the remains of last night's finger marks down his back. Wait, are we sure it's not...

You know, sometimes if you're in a hammock or one of those, like, recliner outdoor... Oh, I can leave a lounges. you can get lines on your back? Well, I mean, it's a... It's got fingers and his sharp nails. Only if your jet has fingers like that. It looks pretty distinct. Okay, right.

I'll say it. It looks pretty distinct. Because of the five in a row or four in a row. Oh, so there's one, two, three, four, five on that one. And then there's like a four there and maybe the, yeah. Right. Okay. That's...

Yeah. Okay. That is what we think it is. Yep. This is why I wanted to ask, like, what was your embarrassing... Should we say love Mark? Because it's not always a hicky. Bites.

Bites. Somebody did message in. I like being bit. Sue me. Yeah, wow. 609 likes being bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, maybe you're at the beach and you forget that you got a little peach bite.

That's the thing. If you're going to work or whatever, I could be covered in bites. Yeah. You've got molars. But when you're at the beach and it's dogs and a bit more skin exposed. Well, you get home in front of your partner, you take off your shirt and you forgot that you've got a bite on your back from someone else. Yeah. Oh, God.

I remember a friend of mine. How do I say this? Got a really bad carpet burn up her spine. Because you don't notice it happening at the time. No. Carpet burn. It's all good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then the next day you're like, man, that stinks. Have a shower and the hot water hits it. God, yeah. Definitely the knees and the elbows get a little bit of a friction on. But this is what I mean. I want to know, like, what was your embarrassing love, Mark? And, like, did you have to go out in life afterwards? You didn't notice?

We had it all the time. I think I've mentioned this before. in marching when we're two overseas with the tattoos, all the soldiers would come into our little dressing room because we had a makeup artist in our team and they'd be like, shit, you've got to cover my hicky.

Oh really? Because she was a makeup artist, she knew how to do it, so it actually looked good. Amazing. Okay, well, I'll wait to him to drawles at him. We'd love you to call us this morning right now. You can text into the studio, 9-6-96. When did you have an embarrassing love mark? Boy, have we been told. Oh, goodness, my love. How did you get an embarrassing

love mark. Now I've looked again at the photos. There is, there is, I can see the side of the argument that Callum Turner was sitting on a deck chair that might have led to some of the marks on his back. Sure. There's definitely some, some vertical duel heap of nail marks down the back. It's giving big five each side. It's giving nail marks to be honest. I'm just like, yes, my man. I mean, also in all the other photos, she's literally on top of him, right around him, like their kiss. I mean, they just got married. Yeah. This is like the calm before the storm. Hot couple. Hot couple. Hot couple.

So we asked when you've had... Hot people get hot people out. embarrassing love. Not always. As they should. And I love to see a minga with a hot person. You see it every day? Because I'm like, does the hot person have...

He missed it. Say it again. I love to see a minga with a hot person. You see it every day. It's rude to me. Your girlfriend's hot. Yeah. Well, I was just about to say whether...

Yeah. Because then is the hot person insecure or does the minga have a hidden talent? It's the game. It's giving epic. wing or it's giving, yeah, she doesn't realize what she's got. Yeah. It's not giving them. She looked into the soul of the person and when I really love what's inside of you

and I see a deeper connection. No way. No way. No one's buying nice chocolate in a yuck box. You know, it's marketing, baby. It's all marketing, baby. So we asked if you've had an embarrassing love mark. Surprisingly, not a lot of people wanted to go on air

and in their own voice tell us the stories. Stories like this. The bloodshot eye I got from semen was pretty hard to explain. Boy, and you don't need to say that last bit. You can just say you got your eye looked quite pink. Yes. Get some eyedrops. They'll work, apparently.

I was trying to say weird. I was going to say weird. I was going to say weird that looks like your phone number, Fletch, but then you did it yourself. It's not my phone number. He did it himself. Clear eyes? Does that do the trick? Show sponsor, clearise. I don't know if they want that in the...

Go to keep us warehouse. Go in Winky and they'll be able to sort you out. Tell them we seen you. I don't attach us to it. My boyfriend gave me a hicky on my chin. Get it on the neck. On the chin. Maybe you've got a real pointy chin, I.

Do you reckon as bald guys, someone could give us a hickey on our head? Oh, take your head off. On the crown of your head. Take your hat off. I'm not. I'm just going to sit here and watch you suck Fletcher's head. Come on. Close, but that's a line.

Come on, then get their eyedrops ready. I don't know why. I don't know why I said it. Somebody said when I was 18, I remember wearing a Charlotte Hornets jacket pulled right up around the neck. The hickie, a size of a dinner plate. I'm 46 now and I still get embarrassed thinking about it.

Yes. Oh, they're so embarrassing. I got carpet burn on the tops of my feet. Oh, yeah. Super random, but they hurt like a bird. Yeah. You're tucked under. Yeah, yeah.

Your feet are tucked up under. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But extra boost. Okay, you don't need to do the movement, Haley. We get it. I see how it happened. I had a bite mark on the back of my shoulder, wore a singlet, dad saw it and commented.

No, getting out of that one, you could literally see the teeth. That is a molar if ever I saw one. You can see the teeth. Like, we can identify this by dental records. Yeah, I walked into a mouth. And then the mouth attached. I was single in having an affair with a married man. Spent the night in a hotel and got a 50 cent-sized

Pasch rash on my chin. Very hard to explain. I think I told people it was exsma from memory. A patch rash? Pasch rash. Do you know what? Pash rash is worse than a hacky. Yeah, when it's all around the mouth too, so you know it's been real easy. Yeah, but like this person said, it's a more believable thing to say it's a reaction to something. Yeah.

A hickie is a hickie. A pash rash can be written off to other. stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I was 15 and came home with a ton of hickies on my neck and I made a response to my mum say my best friend pinched me.

We're talking like a dozen hickies. Mom did not buy it. No. Did not. Believe me. Whatsoever. My friend had a random short patch of hair on the back of her head. I'm like, oh my God, what happened? She said, he grabbed it and pulled it too hard. We all get a handful.

Especially when you got keratin bond extensions And you didn't make that clear from the get-go And they pull out a chung And they're like What's this? Yeah My boyfriend at the time thought it would be funny To pin me down and give me a massive hiki on my chin

Chin. Another chin hickie. Stop sucking each other's chins. I worked on a makeup counter And believe me when I tell you, No concealer was covering that baby I got pulled into the office And given a formal warn it

For a chin hickey For a chin hickie. For a chin chinky. I kind of want to see a chin hickie. So do I. Can you go go go on up? I was at work one day feeling... Hickey on chin.

I was at work one day feeling pretty cute in my outfit. Okay, if you Google chin Hickey. This chick's got one on the complete underneath. Like, where your Adam's apple would be on a guy. You've got to get a handful of hair and get the hair back that far. Yeah, that's got a real tilt on it. Yeah. I was at work one day feeling pretty cute in my outfit and my hair in a messy butt

until someone asked me if it was a hickie on the back of my neck. Turns out when I asked him, he said he'd marked me to. let me others know I was taken. Red flag, red flag. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. What on the back of the neck?

Like a barco. Yeah, wait. Here's a TikTok that says unique chin challenge. How to create a chin hicky. Load it up. It's gone. My boyfriend a few years ago

left a little mark on my neck and I actually didn't know. It was there until I went into a store and had to have a look at a washing machine. And the assistant who was helping me ask if I've been playing with a vacuum cleaner. Oh, this TikTok,

she just squeezes. her chin with her her hand. Remember people putting vacuum cleaners on their necks to get a fake hay. I know it was like perfectly round. And then you know they put their dittle in it just for a little bit. Haley. Wouldn't you?

No. I will say the spinning head on the Dyson stick. It's hard to get past. Yeah. It hurts. Thank God you don't have a forkskin. Let's just say that. I used to.

I could have nib that. That's how we got rid of it. Circumcision by Dyson. Oh, yikes. I had to scrub property of James. And then it's thudding around and I'm... Yeah, yeah. What is that?

That's my four. And you've got to change it from hardwood setting to carpet setting so it doesn't rip all your pubes out. Oh, yikes. I described property of James in permanent marker off my butt cheeks before heading to the Hamna Hot Pools. Imagine being at the Hamna Hot Pools and it says Property of James. Yeah, wow. That's hilarious. My partner gave me a fat hickie on the forehead.

Forehead. Chipped my front tooth that went into my lip. Avent had having a lump on my lip for months that I had to get surgically removed. And on the ACC form, I said damage. Damage is sexual damage. Sexual damage. I was in high school. Can I just buy me a bit of time?

This is a long one. It starts with when I was in high school. So, you know, these things need a pre-reve. Yeah, they do. My husband gave me a hickie on my eye. Look like I had a black eye for a way. What on the eyelid? Don't suck on the eye socket?

No, that's dangerous. Surely that's covered in sex ed at school If not it should be in the curriculum I don't know if it is in the curriculum I suck on the eye sucker At a drunken dress-up party Did you read that? No, at a drunken dress-up party

Full of teachers A guy was dressed up as Dracula Thought it'd be fun to give everyone hickies Not a good look for a group of teachers Lots of scarves that In warm weather Okay so when I was in high school I used to stay at my dad's house

I'd sneak boys in because I was in downstairs Note to self Never own a two-story house which was removed from the main house one night snuck a boy in and the next morning to my horror I discovered a giant hickey on the side of my neck I didn't know what to do

and so I tied my long hair around like it was a tie and I told my dad this is just what everybody's doing now and he said you look like an idiot but he never discovered a headache Oh that's good that's good How are you guys getting away with this

I think you'd be arrested if you were doing this in England that's an one of our English listeners What on the radio is a topic? Oh yeah okay They were abolishing the BSA we're going to get away so much more of it.

Oh yeah, it's going to get wild in a few weeks. Oh, goodness. I forgot I had a hickie, went home to get some clothes on my mum's sort of started laughing and said, called in Dad to come and see it and then they were both just sat there pointing and laughing at me. See, I think that's a great way for parents to deal with it rather than like hitting the roof. Come look at your stupid daughter. Huge strong guy in a group of our friends came out of nowhere, lifted me up at the pub,

put me on a table and sucked my neck as hard as he could with an open mouth. Oh, God. I, oh my God, the hickie was so huge in black. hematomid. What does that mean? Like blood came to the surface. Yeah, like a proper like blood bruise. Yikes. Yikes. Um, oh, I got a hickie and I said to my parents it was an allergy to the necklace. They purchased me and they should feel really bad about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's got nickel in it. They did not believe that. Yeah. I can't wear nickel. Oh my God. I'm 41 in Vegas at my friends renewing their vows and I got a hookkey because we got a little bit passionate in Vegas.

God. Um, oh, I was seeing someone who was very much. into being slapped. Oh, okay. Consensually. Yeah, consensually slapped. Kind of hot. Carry on. But yeah, we'd have a red cheek

and would say to people, oh no, I'm into being slapped. Oh, yeah, yeah. We're out and open about it. We're even lying about it. No, it's like a little bit of a slap. I'm going to hook you when I was working at Subway. I put one of the blue plasters over it.

Seamless plan. Oh, I thought you were going to say like a slice of pepperoni. Yeah, perfect. Can't even see it, mate. podcast network. Play Z&S, Fletch, Fawn and Haley. Well, season three of America's sweethearts,

Dallas Cowboys Chairleaders is out on Netflix now. Hi everyone, my name's Faye. I'm 22 and originally from Wellington, New Zealand. But as you can tell, I've lost my accent because I live in Perth, Australia. I would never get anything like this in Australia.

Like, these opportunities don't come. Wow. Obviously, you see it all over social media and who doesn't want to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleys. letter. So it's always like, I would love to do that. So we're reaching past the stars right now, but it's worth a hot shot, isn't it? Now that's our girl, Faith, who I believe we just reposted Shandog, our interview with Faith, who, she said we're allowed to claim her as a Kiwi remember. Yeah, she's got a Kiwi passport. Kiwi Passport, but she has grown up in Australia.

And you were just saying that this new season, everyone loves the show, it's so good, they work their asses off these girls. Yeah, there was a real revolution because the show used to be called DCC making the team. It was a lot more problematic. It was a lot of body shaming. And since it came to Netflix, they've really changed the tone. Had it in that. Oh, what?

Their dancers get paid an actual salary now. It's a livable way. They get paid in salary. Well, yeah. You're sort of going to get fat. We have to body shame them again. Yeah, you get paid a salary, but you have to buy your own peanut butter.

Absolutely. That was a crazy thing. They didn't get paid. Barely. So it was below minimum wage. most of them had about three jobs. Multiple of them were doctors and they were still struggling to pay rent. So now they get paid a livable wage, which is very exciting.

Yeah, we love that. We love when people can live. I like when people can afford to live. Yeah, I think so. And so, Faith, that was Faith in the trailer there. We don't know if she's going to make the team right because every year, even if you've been in the team, you have to re-audition. So yeah, this is for last season.

So we know she makes the team and she is really heavily being featured in the show. but this year, so as of today, she is currently in training camp to see if she'll make the 2026 team. But this show is really going to show her journey from auditioning, her finding out that she can wear a ponytail, the first ever cheerleader.

That was some drama. Why? Why? Because they had the big blowouts. Right, okay. So that was, they all had to do the very North Korea of them to say this is the hairstyle. Yeah, for sure.

And then, like, they did have a few kind of approved hairstyles, right? And then the ponytail was like, no. And they were like, she was like, this is how I dance best. Yeah, and so she, that will all be covered in the show. If you've watched the show as well, the big scandal is Reese Weaver, who was the most featured dancer, has retired. The really sweet Christian girl, she's out. So, but our girl, faith is staying strong.

Good on your faith. Friend of the show. I'd like to keep saying that. Friend of the show. If you missed our interview with her that we did end of last year, you can catch that at FVHZM. Also, Haley, you're interested. with Jason Mamoa. Can we interview

everyone? Also our interview with Steve Toussond. I mean it's all up. From Yeah, House of the Dragon. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. Perfect rainbow outside our studio.

The most perfect rainbow. The most photogenic rainbow over Auckland Central at the moment for the listeners in Auckland. Yeah, I just went out and had a very gay show. Sent out our gayest representative of the show. Yeah. The gayest one on the show.

Yeah. Out of the three. us, boy oh boy, it's definitely fled. And it's definitely born. Oh, slip. I'm sorry. 18 minutes away. I'll just photo that rainbow to my kids.

That's a bloody perfect rainbow. Yeah, it's a good rainbow. Okay. Now, right now, we want to talk about arguments. If you have a legendary argument with your partner that's maybe unsolved or you're disagreeing to disagree. Yeah. No one's been right.

We want to know about it. 966. 0800 dials at M because... A study. There's multiple studies around this, but there's a new one, backing up the classic belief that women are always right. So studies consistently show that women tend to score higher in emotional intelligence, empathy and emotional awareness,

making us better at reading situations and responding more calmly. I mean, I'm not saying I stand by this study. Kind of framing, it means in an argument, we've just sort of, we're better at arguing, which means we're right. We're right. Do you know what I mean? because we've kind of been listening a bit more.

I'm assuming you've argued with women more than I have. What would you say to this? Probably just nothing's the best thing to say. Just keep quiet. See, now he's right there to say nothing. No, but silence doesn't mean that you're right. I've seldom been wrong. So, but anyway, we're talking about arguments because I don't know.

God, you just want to. want to be right. And maybe right now you have an argument that's been ongoing for some time. It could be big, it could be small. And we'll just decide. And then you can just let it be. We'll be like the judge and jury. We will decide who is right in this argument. You need to land on the decision. If it's not going to be the two of you, also regardless of gender, you don't need a woman in your relationship. When we mentioned this at the top of the hour that we were going to solve some arguments, somebody messaged in. So should we get the ball rolling with one here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're currently

arguing that juice boxes aren't good for the children just because they're fruit doesn't mean they're good juices are sometimes drink my partner thinks they're all good and the kids can drink them all the time and buys packets of the juice boxes just to spy me no now I think we know but that's the thing you would assume most people know but most people don't know that a lot of fruit juices just sugar it's bad for you

and also you've taken out the fibre which is really the good thing in fruit even when you juice oranges that's not great for you because it's getting rid of all the good stuff fiber it's getting rid of the fiber you still got some good stuff but you're going to A lot of sugar, aren't you? Totally. I just got a juicer and I won't hear a bad word about it.

It's delicious. But it's a treaty. Yeah, it's a real treaty. So, yes, we can just, well, I mean, that one we don't even have to debate. Well, you've won that argument. You've won that. Yeah, the juice box is a bad. Feel free to, like, play him this on my heart, like back and then be like, there you go.

You've won that argument. You win. Congratulations, you win. So the woman was right there. Do you know just proving science? For the next one? Oh, do you want to get more? Yeah, that's two more.

Yeah, we... We've got all the time in the world. We used to argue about whether the yellow power rate is yellow or green. I had my vengeance when they launched the actual green, but he just says now there's two shades of green power rate. No, no, the green is green green green. The green is green green green but the yellow has a tinge of green. A lime s.

I'll give you a lime s to that. No, but it's more yellow than green. I don't know. It's like when men see red and say it's purple or something, you're like, what is... It's the blue gold dress all over again. Yeah, yeah. No, no, we just... Just a simpler folk.

You are simpler, which means you're often wrong. Is there a yellow power? Oh, you're yellow. Okay. That's yellow. No, that's yellow. Yellow. So she's wrong.

No, she's right because she always said the yellow was the yellow. And he said the yellow was a green. There was like a lime power. Wasn't there a grey? It was like a whitey. The silver one. The all black silver one, yeah. But that was some more silver.

Okay. Okay. I want us to have slash use after pay. He wants us to not have slash not use. after pay. We still have slash use afterpay. Well that, I think, I don't even know if we could touch on financial. I'd say, I'd say, avoid it. I just, I'm so, I just hate ticking things up.

Yeah, yeah, me too. I mean, sometimes you have to, don't you? If they're got to go to the dentist or something, and they do afterpay or payments. Yeah, I use it for big things to make more manageable chunks, knowing that I'll be able to pay them, though. You've got to be careful. Well, because what was that stat we about afterpay and how much in the late fees they're making in New Zealand alone.

It was like insane money. Yeah, oh, it's crazy. Who is right then in the argument? Well, no, she says they're still using after pay. Right, okay. But that's... That sounds like, what, they're less of an argument,

more of his financially responsible and she's a loose goose. Right. So she wins. Okay, well... I'm not clap at it. Well, it's science. 0800 dials at M-9-6-96.

Give us a text. Are you guys arguing about something at the moment? And you can't decide who's... Who's won the argument? Tell us about it and we'll decide. I think we could do a regular segment out of this. Maybe we could call it the argumenters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, or like the settlers.

Oh, no. Yeah, I like it. Coming from a white guy, the settlers really. Yeah, yeah, that's good. Well, we'll settle an argument that you and your partner are having. Maybe it's one of those arguments. You just agree to disagree. You're always arguing about it.

No one's one. No one yet. Let's go to Anna. Anna, what is the argument? So me and my partner always argue that maca is not coffee. It's basically 90% chocolate. No, it's two shots. Every time I've had a mokka, it tastes like chocolate.

It doesn't taste like coffee to me. No, it doesn't. We've got one of these little biarches on our team here in Flau's babies. Excuse me, I love a mokka. It's two shots of coffee and it's chocolate. It's the best of both worlds. It's two shots of coffee, but nine shots of chocolate. It's quite.

It depends where you go. It's chofy. I don't like some place to do like... Cream and sweet. Yeah, it's disgusting. Yeah. I'm going to disagree with you, Anna. I'm going to say it is coffee with chocolate.

Oh, okay, so you're on the wrong side of this history. Yeah, yeah. And, well, according to Haley's study, women are always right. It's hard, though, Anna, because... It's actually women are always right. Yeah, correct, Mundo. It's hard, though, because I'm not going to stand here as a coffee connoisseur. I have an iced oat milk lache.

I mean, that in itself. Yeah. I mean, what is that coffee? Because it's oat milk? No. No, yeah, exactly. And it's just embarrassing. Is it a long blacker?

Thank you. That's one's black name. Either part. I can call it. Short white. Sure white. Okay, so what would you say to Anna? It's tough.

It's got coffee in it. So it's coffee. Oh no. It is coffee, but it's embarrassing. Would you say a tiramisu is coffee? No, I've got it. No, because you can't drink it. You've got it.

You win. It wins. Anna wins. Not a real thing. Women just find a way to make themselves win us. Yeah, it's kind of girl-mathing arguments, isn't it? If this could be over or just whatever. Why isn't it being a heterosexual?

You chose this life. Anonymous joins us. Anonymous. What is the argument you and your partner are currently having? Hello, long-time listener, first-time caller. Welcome. I am currently expecting my first baby. Oh, congrats.

Thank you very much. Me and my partner has been together for seven years, but he hasn't put a ring on it yet, and he wants the baby to have his surname, not mine. Oh, so you're arguing about whether your baby gets your last name or his. Yes. Wow. Or a hyphenated last name?

So, wait a minute, you're sort of like holding your baby hostage and the only negotiation with this sort of baby terrorism is a ring on your finger. No, I've said that it's too late now. I don't want to look like a shotgun wedding. so anybody will have to come post-baby. Oh my God, I love that. Could you hyphen your names? Your surnames?

I did suggest that he said, where does it end? It ends when you push a human being out of your vagina. This guy's got a big set of swingers on him to be arguing with a pregnant woman. No, yeah, I'm sorry. You are growing a human being inside of you, and then you're the one that's going to push it or have a cut out of you. I'm sorry. No, you get to choose.

The woman wins. Woman wins. I have the better surname. Oh, do you? Oh. Yeah, well, there you go. Go on. Tell him to change his as well.

Women apparently always right in an argument. Well, often right. Often, yeah. It's not, I think if you dive into it, and I will admit this, it's not the word always right. It's just that they tend to argue better because they listen more, they've got a bit more emotional intelligence. I think maybe. They're better at also just like dog boxing you and cold-shouldering you and not talking to you and men just like, give up in the end. Yeah, I'm just like, ah, not worth it.

Yeah. I withhold my words. Well done. I was, um, I was, um, I was, um, made of honour at my sister-in-law's wedding and I was sat at the top table. My husband was sat with our teenage kids and walked past me several times to go to the bar and never asked me once if I wanted to drink.

Oh, no, you're naughty. He said I was, I'm being too dramatic and I said it would have just been nice to ask. Yeah, it would have been nice to ask. You're at their head table. The wine comes to you at the head table. Not always. You've got the wine on the table. Yeah.

You want to drink? I think you could weaponise this, I think, and then never get him anything ever again. And say things like that time you didn't get me a drink at the wedding. That's healthy. That's what therapists would recommend. As someone who's been through a lot of therapy, Virginia would stand by that.

So next time you're cooking dinner, cook it for you and the family and everything, but not him. I'm also too. I'm sorry, did you want one? I didn't know. Yeah. Again, healthy, Haley, healthy. Healthy. Healthy. Dating advice. Wait, who wins that argument? You're saying she does.

Yeah. I think the mince. The segment's called the woman always wins. I think the mince should go beside the chips on nachos. So the chips stay intact. My wife always slops them on top. Wait, that is, okay. Hot tank, because that is the problem when you have nachos. If you don't eat quick enough,

you get sloppy chips. You get a soggy natto chip. Yeah. But then... Typically, they're always served. Mint's over. Because I love when the cheese melts onto the nacho chip. Through the mints. Yeah, and then you've got a caked-on cheese on the chip. And then you put the mints on top of that.

Yeah. You've always got to end nachos with a fork. Oh, yeah. Put it on top. I think you're wrong. I think the mints has to go on top. If that's your preference, I'd just say dish it up yourself. But are you cheasing the chips and cheasing the mints?

Yeah. I'll cheese and everything. Sometimes I'll cheese the plate. You may. Cheese the sour cream, cheese the guat. Cheese my mouth. Cheese the drink. You put yourself under the grill for 10 minutes

just to melt the cheese in your mouth? Yep. Okay, great. Yep. And then I ate the cheese off my hand. And then it was a bit more cheese. Yeah. Someone said lesbian relationships.

We're always arguing. Who's right? God, I mean. Far out. No, I'm not getting in the middle of two lesbans. Actually. Wow. I thought there was a sort of a bucket list.

Actually, it is. I thought there was one on that and then they were. That. Yeah, but then you end up. But they don't have to ask. You end up in the middle of two lesbians and they're like, how do we get around this? Yeah, yeah, you're in the way.

What are you doing here? They want nothing you've got to provide. They want nothing to do with you. I think what you're describing as a bisexual. That's what that's the word I was after. Argument. I say it's scone jam and cream. He says it's scone butter jam cream.

You're not buttering the scone. Oh, sorry, I'm on his side. Are you buttering the scone? I'm buttering the scone. Those things are dry. Who's not buttering the scone? Those things are dry as hell. Yeah.

I would just go more. more jam and cream, I'd go sarns butter, but I'd have to make it up. No, always butter, that's insanity. Yeah. I'm sorry, but you lose that argument. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It turns out the woman is always right. Has she been wrong yet?

No, she's been wrong yet. No, that's, he says sky and butter jam, friend. The woman's wrong, and you'll say the woman's wrong. What's the segment called then? The woman's mostly right. Butches be crazy. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flash Foran and Hake.

We want to know now. What got you suspended from school? Two 13-year-old boys have had a, I'd say, a real slap across the knuckles and referred to youth aid. They started a fire before school at Waitaki Boys High School. We don't do that. The photos are nuts. It started a big fire.

It was a 200-meter row of trees, and they're those old, I don't know what, maybe pine, but maybe not. Those trees that schools always had as border trees. I'd look at them because I'm a bit of, a fire bug, I'd look at them and be like, boy, those things would go up quick. Yeah, dry. These boys obviously underestimated just how quick.

They started, the fire and emergency said they responded to a call just before 9 a.m. last Tuesday. So they went for a little pre-maybe. Maybe they're having a preschool smoke. Yeah, maybe. Flick. Maybe. Woof.

Or maybe they were playing with matches. Which are, I don't care what anybody says, one of the funnest things to play with. No. Right as in matches. I used to love when I was a kid putting a single. match into a whole box of matches. Dude, don't tell kids about that. Shut up.

It's so bad. It's so bad. It's so naughty. It's so dangerous. But you just do it on the concrete. Like I wasn't burning a school down. So much fun. Oh no. So much fun. That's so bad. Do you think it's more boys than girls that love playing with fire? Probably.

Yeah. But it's not more boys than girls getting suspended, right? God, no. No girls get suspended for wild shit. Like, yeah. A girl at my school got suspended. this is going back, some. She jumped on another girl's back and grabbed a handful of her hair

and just hacked out it with scissors. Morinsville. That's Morinsville. Methy Morinsville. It was pretty wild. Gosh. Well, this is exactly what we want to know this morning. 0,800 d'Am.

We'd love to take your calls. Your texts as well, 9-6-9-6. Obviously, we're probably not going to hear from the people that got suspended. No, I think we will. You reckon? Well, if it was you or someone at your school, there's so many messages already.

Why did you get suspended? Are we taking expulsions? or just like it's like the yellow card is suspended the red cards expelled you're out of the school fun and you are we don't want to we don't want to work with you speaking of which yes did you see the guy that got sent off when he scored a goal in the world cup no it's against the rules to take off your shirt and celebration at this year's feet of the club up but how are we going to see the abs and the dude was rocking a hot rig and can they just hook them on and their heads lead them on

no no nipples man everything you hear about FIFA they suck yeah and this guy's And he's like, yeah, and he's like, first, it was his country's first ever goal of the World Cup, I think. Right. And he took his shirt off to celebrate. And the guy, the ref came over, like, high-fived him fist bump. Like, well done, here's your red card. That sucks.

That sucks. Yeah. Anyway, what did you get to kick that out of school for? What did you get suspended for? Why did they get suspended? Because a couple of shipbag kids. Ship bags. 13-year-olds.

So the big fire in a row of trees. It was always bad when it was youth aid, eh? Yeah. Oh, man. Like you're too young to go to court and be charged and go to prison. But it's more than just a bloody school telling off. Oh my God. Okay, some great messages coming in.

Oh my God. Does it count if it was a teacher that got suspended from school? No. Because our aquatic science teacher in high school got caught cooking meth. What? Like real life Walter White? Breaking bad. Aquatic science.

At school. What do you mean? What's aquatic science? Aquatic science is water science. Like what? We just had science. Yeah, we didn't have that. Why is your school getting so specific on science?

Is that like some kind of rich school where you've got to test your parents' pH pool level? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Basically just become their poor boy. Blaine, who got suspended? It was me, actually. Oh, Blaine, what did you do? So we, I used to, when I was at school, we did outdoor pursuits as part of our coursing. And part of that, we did things like mountain craft, white water kayak.

and skydiving. Wait, you did skydiving? Yep, so at 15, we got to be introduced to all these lovely activities and that as part of school. Yeah. But while we were skydiving, I did my dive and that, and while the rest of the team were taking turns, including the teacher 10,000 feet up,

I proceeded to take the school van and joy right around the Taupo Airport. Blaine! Yeah! We're doing Raki's on the grass? Just a few wee ones. Being a grass runway in that back in those days as well, it was an interesting situation.

Blaine! On the tripside, my two-week mid-year holidays became four weeks. Yeah, that's a lot of a bad idea, actually, to misbehave two weeks before or after-school holidays. I just thought that when kids got suspended, they just got to, like, hang out at home. Like, how fun. Yeah.

Yeah, I certainly did hang out at home just for a little bit longer than planned. Are you a shipbag now, Blaine, or you get on the straight and arrow? No, no. He's a good boy. You're a good boy now, yeah, we can hear it there. Thank you, Blaine. Kylie, why did you get suspended? Well, I was suspended because I ended up putting a potato up my principal's cars exhaust.

That was a classic in the 90s, they kicked a potato up there. I didn't know where that was going. You put a potato up your principals. Up your pros. Yeah, well. And what happened did the car just backfire? No, it doesn't start. Oh, no, it blew the engine.

Yeah. Oh, clearly. Yeah, yeah, so I had to go do some work for him for about a month or two, I think. You had to pay off a new engine. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. The thing about the potato up, the exhaust, it was a classic in the 90s. You'd put the potato on and you'd boot it, and they would, like, put it through, like, a potato cutter,

so it would perfectly fill the exhaust and impossible to fish out. Oh, no. I've never. Yeah, I've never. Okay. Are you a shit bag now, Kylie, or are you well-behaved? She sounds like a shit bag. Oh, I'm a bit of a shit bag.

Yeah. I can hear it. I can hear it. Yeah, Kylie, you're a shit bag. We love you. Thank you, Kylie. Some messages in. I went to school with God says it's better for taking a shit on the sundial in the middle of the school.

Hard to tell the time with a big steaming hepatist. Taking a shit. It's so weird that there was such a thing at high scale. People taking shits in weird places. Thank you. at my school. What that happened at my school? What else was like Amber took a shit in the basin in the toilets?

Did she though? Did Amber? Yeah, because Amber came out. It was like, oi, go look. It was like, Amber. Somebody said, you can name and shame her because it's legendary. My friend Sarah Colbrook took an entire cheesecake.

I already love this story. Walked into the sports hall and the ceiling fan was on high speed and she just launched the cheesecake up into the best. Oh, brilliant. Cheesecake sprayed everywhere. Oh my God. The PE teacher just looked on an astonishment and then screamed Sarah F and Colbrook. And then Sarah dropped what remained of the cheesecake and ran out and the teacher chased her.

What, um, how long did she get suspended for a cheesecake in the ceiling fan? I don't know. We must have a follow-up text on that. That would have gone everywhere. I know. It would have been high too. Yeah. That's a big claim.

I got suspended from school because they turned up drunk and gave the principal a kiss on the cheek when he caught me. to spend it for three days, grounded for six months. Granted for six months. Um, shit bags. Somebody messaged him before. I've got to point.

Rebecca said, we had a police officer based at our school. Now, they call them PC Shore. So it might have been when Rebecca might have got a school in England. But they had a police officer

based at our school. They do this in America too, yeah. We went for a smoke behind a tree and one of the guys saw she was coming and we're like, oh no, we're all going to be in trouble. he's like, don't worry, I got this sorted. Hulls down his pants, tucks his penis and balls between his legs.

Who, who did? One of the guys. One of the guys? One of the guys? He's got to be me, the cop. But the sig on his mouth stepped down and said, look, peace they're sure I've got a vagina. What? A distraction.

To distract, but he had to sickie in his mouth and he got bought them enough time to get away. Hero. That's exposing him out of the police officer. Actually, it's insane. Right. But he got it suspended, okay, as you would. But you can't show a mangina to the police. No, you can't.

I haven't read the end of this one, but we were in so in class, and six police officers came into our class and told us all to put our hands on the table and don't move. What? We're at the line-up in a hallway, then a female officer searched us all for drugs. One of the girls that was, when we were assembling in the hallway,

stuffed a tini in her bra in front of the whole lineup. One girl told on her, she got suspended. For a tini? Yeah. Wow. It's a bit full on for. a tinny. It's not like she had a huge big bag of Marishawana.

Our year 13 prank was industrial strings blue dye in the swimming pool. Funny until kids got pushed in. Oh no. And they came out looking like smirfs. Oh no. And they were blue for so much of the summer. Those guys got suspended and hit with the pool cleaning bill, which was, you know,

legendary in his thousands. Yeah. Yeah. That's so good. A guy at our school got suspended Because at school with a shiver He wrote the word DAC In the back of his head Dack? I haven't heard weed called Dack for years

No, neither Is it still known one? Is that still a no-one? I don't move in Marijuana Circles I don't know if they're decking Someone said We had a burnetton at school I grew up in a country school

We had a burnetton Oh like our fireplace Yeah no no No no it was out in the field And we'd burn our rubbish That's so bad. Plastics and all, baby. Yeah, all the 90s.

Anyway, somebody at our school chucked a whole lot of fireworks into the burner tank. Just sat them in there and then the next kids lit the fire set off all these fireworks. They got suspended. So great. I love these messages. And they barely scratched in the surface.

We had hundreds of responses. The ZDM Podcast Network. What's going on? ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. Do do do do do do do to do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Do do do do. We're talking all this week about large-scale scientific experiments going wrong.

Or just experiments. Yeah, we've talked about a nuclear bomb that was like way bigger than they thought it was going to be because somebody they thought wasn't going to do anything actually did heaps. Did heaps. Lithium. Yeah.

The lithium. Today I want to talk about biosphere two. Okay. Biosphere 2 in 1991. This was the second biosphere. Thus, Biosphere 2. Eight people sealed themselves

inside Biosphere 2, which was a three acre, which is sizable, glass world in the Arizona desert to live for two years on nothing but the ecosystem that they had in there. Right.

It was sealed off. They do these sorts of things is experiments on what life will be like when you go to Mars or the moon. It's giving the start of a sci-fi movie or some horror end of the world movie. Also, wasn't it a poorly sure movie in the 90s?

Maybe. Biodime? I don't know. Biodome. No, my stone, mode, no condensation. So anyway, they were in there and something started going wrong. Over the 16 months, the oxygen slid from a normal 21% down to 14%. Now, that's a very low

oxygen level. And enough to cause some real health problems, they couldn't work out what was going wrong. The oxygen was vanishing, and the carbon dioxide that should have replaced it from breathing wasn't showing up either. So they were like, where's it going? We're breathing out carbon dioxide,

and that's disappearing, and thus the plants can't turn that carbon dioxide back into oxygen for us. And so the plants start dying, and they're like, we're going to have to get out of here because otherwise we're going to go like the plants and die. Turns out no one had taken into account that the concrete that they had in there was absorbing the carbon dioxide. Oh, right, because it's porous. Yeah.

It's sucking it in. And so because it sits and the plants, you know, as they do, as they need it, use it. But the concrete just absorbs it the entire time. So the concrete was unsealed. And so it was absorbing it and locking it in to the concrete. Right. Which I didn't know the concrete did that. I didn't know it did it either.

Carbon dioxide problem. And I know that they say environmentally concrete is not the, greatest building material. Isn't it? Nah. We didn't know that. It's not good. Not that I've built anything out of concrete, but...

Well, you built that, your house is purely concrete. You and Chris Hemsworth... My bunkers concrete. Built Westfield Malls. And my Westfield Mall is concrete. Yeah, you're right there. I have built a bit of concrete. Yeah, so they had to abandon Biosphere too.

But it was, the whole thing was kind of like plagued with... Have they done it again? They did it? Remember they did it more recently, and it was specifically like, this is we've got to replicate in the Mars, situation. That's right. And those people went a little cuckoo. And that's the thing all the time when they lock the

people away and they do go a little bit cuckoo. Yeah. It's not for me. No. Not for... I would. I think I could. Nah. I'd go cuckoo, though. I'm not saying I wouldn't go cuckoo. Just go a little bit more cuckoo. So today's fact of the day is in Biosphere 2, an experiment

where eight people sealed themselves inside a big glass dome to see if they could live without going outside again. The cock. read, it ate all their carbon dioxide and so the plants died and then they didn't have any oxygen. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, yeah.

Do do-da-do-to-to-to-to-to-to-da-to-da-to-do do-do do-do. Remember the phone and topic we did just before and legendary Sarah Colebrook threw a cheesecake into a fan? Yes. Sarah's message done. She's been hearing from a lot of people that she's apparently had a mention this morning for the cheesecake. Hold up. Good morning. Well, we need to know what, how many more than happy to take a follow-up call.

Oh, we should. We'll do that next. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. We've got a special guest on the phone. It's bloody legendary cheesecake tosser herself. Sarah Colbert. Colbrook.

Good morning. Good morning. Now, have you, we were just doing a phone and topic moments ago. Why did you get suspended from Skullbrook? One of your friends messaged in, sir, and you started hearing about this. I've just been called and texts by, I don't know how many people. So, a legend of the town. Explain to us how this transpired, how you ended up launching a cheesecake into the gymnasium ceiling fan.

Well, it was, we had food tech, and I was working with a girl called Ruby, and I was a bit of the class clan, and she was kind of a mastermind behind it all. Right. Oh, Drib, Rubin? There's always what, there's always a genius behind the class clown. And we were actually in the changing rooms, and everyone was getting changed, and I just, there would have been probably 35 of us, and I just thought, Ruby just looks at me and goes wrong. So I just birthed this cheesecake into the fan, and I shit you not,

it went over three body. Like, everyone's uniforms, everyone's, like, full, like, fully, like, their peer uniforms are dirty, and their uniforms that are hanging up are dirty. And then there was just this silence, and then this roar of laughter. And the teacher just knew something was going on. So she comes in. I could see her, so I went around the other way, and everyone's just hysterical.

So I just ran for dear life across the field. I ran. There are effing. All brooks. So I just jumped the fence, and I just kept going. I got stood down for three days. So the cheesecake was, Straight from food tech, you'd made a cheese cake.

I made it. You've made a cheese cake. And you're like, girls, look. And Ruby's like, do it. You're like, I know what you're thinking, Roots. What? This has got to be our caller of the way. You are an animal.

Yeah, caller of the week. We'll hook you up with caller of the week. We've got a Kimmer's Warehouse prize back. Thanks to Kimm's Warehouse Home and the biggest brands at the lowest prices. That was so great, Sarah. So brilliant. Thank you. You're very welcome.

Wait there. We'll sort that out. Play ZM's Flethym's. one in Haley. I was going through old school stuff, you know, old lovely little school books and stuff and I'm going to keep. I've already whittled that down.

God, how much crap do you keep? I've got rid of most of this crap. I know, but what I have is a heart. Yeah, I'm real sentimental for that sort of stuff. I'm very sentimental for it. And I found this, which was my 2004 Year 10 Queen Margaret College School Diary, that I recovered with pictures of,

I'll say it and I'm aware it's problematic Marilyn Manson Ain't nothing but a gotthing stickers Amy Lee from Evan essence It's a lot Is that POD? Is it a POD? You were probably putting your POD sticker On your book and Fletch and I'm made in them

Me when we hung out with POD They were a bloody nice fella Yeah Anyway this was like Should we get Youth of the Nation going in the background Chuck those guys a little bit of Yeah Yeah yeah we are the youth of the nation

This was a great God, there was just some absolute moments. Like here, I've sort of scratched in black scratchy writing some evanescence lyrics. Give us the lyrics. Playgrounds school bell rings again. Rain clouds come to play again. Has no one told you she's not breathing?

Hello? Well, they're coming back to the country soon. You know, I'll be there. Get them to sign your yearbook. So then there's all these messages between, like, friends and stuff. There's also, I mean, I've got to tell you, there's a Jurex truck that says, make sweet love and there's Axel Rose

slinging on top and Jesus Christ is hanging down the bottom on his crucifist. Wait so what is this book? So it's your school diary where you write your homework and what things you've got and everything. Kind of like a diary. Right, but you're supposed to keep it school specific but you've got Jesus underneath a condom truck. Yeah.

That's the day I dissected a sheep heart. That was good in there. But anyway there's some really great moments in here. I got my braces on that day. Got my braces tightened. How obsessing I was with a boy called Pat, because there's Hayley loves Pat

or everywhere. Who is it? I love Pat, Hayley loves Pat. Who is Patrick? O'Sullivan, I think, was his name. Patrick O'Sullivan. There's never been to more Irish need that Patrick will sort. On a different thing.

I mean, this is the most ADHD thing. Oh my God, I love Pat. I love Pat. Man, we're obsessed with Pat. Yet day off, there's a sort of not a swastika, I was going to say. What is it? A pence to a pentagram.

Yeah. But here's the thing. So I saw one that said like after school detention. Yeah, there's after school detention. What did you get that for? I don't know. It was one of many. Polio.

There's me, me marrying Marilyn Manson. I don't think he would have made a good husband. We know for sure he didn't. So then there's teacher comments and signatures and there's some that say like Haley needs to do this, Haley needs to do that. And down the bottom of each week, your parent has to sign it.

Not a single one of these were signed by Patsy. I recognize when I ripped off her signature. That's me doing Patsy signature. But that looks like a parent's signature. Yeah, 100%. I did all of them. Fraud. Do the teacher check that the parents had signed it off?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is how it's... The teachers are seeing this as well. I had a piano exam on that day. I did quite well. Wait, so your teachers would see all of these drawings. And they weren't, they didn't call like... You do a 40s or...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, they booked her in. Isn't this... It's just so... Ten things I love about Amy. Amy from Evannesses? No, a girl. A girl called Amy?

Ten things I love about Amy. I think this is... I think this would be post- bisexual awakening. Ten things I love about Amy. I love the way you... Excuse you? I love the way you comb your hair. Oh, that's nice.

Oh, wait, it's a poem. Okay, okay. Oh, this is ten things I have about you. Ten things I love about Amy. I love the way you comb your hair, the way your socks look skucks. Oh my God. I love the way you... You take a shit in the way you wear your chucks.

I love the way you... Were you watching this Amy's shit? I don't know. Excuse you. I love the way you call me Peaclear. The way you smack my ass. I love the way... I can't say that, during English class.

Oh, good Lord. Big Eil pardon. Did your mum ever read this? I love the way you cheat on me with all the pimps and hoes. I love the way you shave your... and the way you blow your nose. How old were you? 14.

Is that when your parents sent you to therapy? Yes. I mean, you can see why I would be. This was the first year that I got sent to therapy. God, it's just fun. This is why you hold on to this stuff. But no, it's changed now. I got an email yesterday that my daughter's attendance rate has dropped below 90%.

And they've got like, this is when, this is what, this is the percentage of the class. It's crazy. at least there's no palms about bloody ten things she loves by me or that you know of yeah play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley

Well I've been told I was just about to take a mouthful of soft porridge Which could have been swallowed in an instant No You said don't Honestly I'm dealing with the worst eaters here Haley's It's not possible to eat toast

And be on air It's not possible I just had a mouthful see and no one knew I'm having toast and everyone knows. I'm going to, at some stage in this voice break, sneak another mouth of a porridge, you the listener identify when it happens.

No, but you'll do this. You'll just tap out of a break sometimes and not talk sometimes anyway. Yeah. Yeah. It's called being mentally unwell. The impressive thing would be if you talked a lot.

Yeah, go, what do you think of it? It would be. I'm contributing significantly to this break. I heard the clink of the bowl. Yeah, but I'd already done it. That's what the list of missed. I have already taken two more boxes. Right.

So keep talking. I'll keep talking. We want to talk now about Internet Movie Database, which it's on my front page of my apps. I love it. It's one of my most used apps on my phone. He's just paused eating. This is the thing. It was supposed to impress. See, now I'm talking.

No, you stopped mid-sentence. That's unnatural. You can hear the porridge. You can hear the porridge. You didn't hear it. And my God, when you swallow porridge without any ounce of a chew, you really feel every grain of vote. Internet movie database, I mostly use the app. Every now and then I'll go on the actual website.

For those that don't know, it reviews all the movies and TV shows. It rules. It rules. When you're like, I'm what's that going from? It's so good. Yeah. It's owned by Amazon? Because when you're watching Amazon video, if you pause, you can bring up the...

I think, you know, they have the best features while you're watching a show. You can instantly see the music and all the actors. You get a bio about them. You're like, I love this song. Pause it, and it pops up what song it is. It's amazing. Great. That is a great feature.

So, into the movie database, apparently now, if you go, IMD, also I just want to preface this by saying I don't know if this is legal it gives big un-elegal it's not un-legal well I mean just because unlegal yeah but just because you can do it online doesn't mean it's legal you know what I mean no I know I'm definitely saying this is illegal okay so you go on IMDB pick any movie pick a movie Titanic Forest Gump Titanic was what I was going to pick okay so you are in sync we our menstrual cycles have sync so you go to

IMDB.com slash title slash and then there's a code there for Titanic. You go to the page of the movie. The website. Where do I put play? So after your HTTP colon slash slash

www. Yep. Play. No gaps. IMDB.com. Playimdb.com. Yeah. So and then leave all the other information.

And it takes you to stream IMDB. You Russians. and like listen I've never watched Titanic so I assume this is the start of it It just starts streaming a high definition version of Titanic Go do another one do another one

Um Pulp Fiction I don't think it works for like new releases No they need to be But like this is obviously illegal We're not encouraging this But it's new to do this No not at all how is it happening But this is the thing

The whole internet is catching on to this And it's going viral Everyone's like how is this allowed? Yeah how is it not more Pulp Fiction, 1994. Here it is, it started. It's not the sort of movie you can just jump to some part of it either because it's very sweary. Can do a slightly newer one? Well, I tried Toy Story 5 and that wasn't there.

No, because that's not even out yet. Yeah. What's a movie that came out? Go Parasite. No, that's been out for years, Haley. No, I know, but like I'm going like more modern. You guys watch Sinners yet with Michael B. Jordan? No.

It's got a mess. He's got great arms, isn't he? Great looking, dude. Haley stomp It's the subtle eating for me Couldn't even hear it Either Sinous works too

Yeah Isn't it insane I don't know how this is loud Oh okay I will say Not great quality And it's got Asian subtitles Okay see But who is doing this

Where are they? How is this allowed How's a website allowing this? Is it someone hijacking their website? Security risks involved Third party domain The trick The trick being this hack

redirects traffic to an unrelated, unauthorised grey market streaming website registered by anonymous entities. Wait, see, you can have a website and someone else can hijack it just by adding a word in the middle? It's data theft. These sites frequently attempt fishing scams

to steal personal data. Oh, oh! Out! Wait, I don't know if we did an IT course on this. Browser cookies or login credentials. Did we do one of those painful videos with actors that can't get hired by movie companies? And they do that.

And they act out an office scene? Anybody else sitting through those painful? Shoot me in the head. Guys, I just stopped doing them. I made up two years ago. Yeah, I haven't had one for ages. Actually, I've been paying Shannon $20 to watch them for me and answer. Yeah, it should be like that.

B, it's B. It's answers B. I'm like, thank God. What a wild thing that's occurred. The Zemean. Cast Network. When did you have a rushed wedding? Like, why did you have a rushed wedding is the question I want to know?

Because, and this is a good story. This is a happy story. Okay. There was a couple that got married in a hospital corridor minutes before a high-risk brain surgery. So a couple deeply in love engaged. Turns out he had, I don't know if it was a tumour, but like a growth and in a really difficult spot. And then they knew that the risk of the surgery was like one little slip. Yeah.

And you've gone, boy. One, like, thought about getting away quickly for the batch and fongomintar in the. the doctor's like, shit. Well, I guess we can go now. Yeah, we'll go early. Beat the traffic. Someone else has to deal with this. So, yeah, it was really intense this surgery.

And so there was this risk that he was going to die. And they were just like, oh my God. Like, I just don't want to, I don't want you to die without having been my husband. But why isn't that worse if you then die and she's like a widow? And now she's got paperwork as well? No, I guess it's just so before he dies that he gets to experience that declaration. of love and whatnot. Guys, he survived.

Do you think even in these modern times we would have people rushing weddings because they're pregnant? For sure. Yeah. People still have conservative families. Yeah. Yeah, true, but like it's 2026. Yeah. I know. Well, this is what I want to know. Why did

you have a rushed wedding? Or maybe you know of someone. Visas? Yeah, visas. Visas will be one. Oh, I have some... Visa's about to go. Some people whose parents were unwell. I was going to say, I knew this was years ago her dad wasn't going to have basically had terminal cancer. Yeah, yeah.

So she was like, let's just do it. And he got to go to their wedding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's pretty beautiful. Maybe it's a sweet story. Maybe it's a funny story. Maybe it's an illegal story. Okay, 0800 dials on Amazon number 9-696 to text through to the studio.

Why was the wedding rushed? Chris has called up. Chris, why was the wedding rushed? Good morning, guys. It's Chris from Sydney. I spoke to yesterday. Hey, we're supposed to Chris off air yesterday. Chris was very complimentary and lovely.

We won't stand for any of that today. Yeah? Well, okay, mine's not as dramatic as that, but, but what happened was we were supposed to get married in 2020 with my husband, which we're now married seven years. And as we said, yes, they're gay dead, because we're 40 now. You heard he's gay in there 40, so gay dead. Gay dead. Gay dead, very gay dead. And so basically we were supposed to get married in 2020,

but we had to rush it to 2018 because, unfortunately, my husband's mum got diagnosed out of the blue with stage four cancer. Oh, that's awful. No. I know. I know it sounds depressing. But whatever they were giving her, she was on the dance floor at our wedding in 2018.

And then she passed away two weeks later. So whatever they had. Wow. That's so amazing. I know it sounds sad, but it was a very good celebration because she was there dressed to the nines, had a great time. Hell yeah. She got to see it. And was there anything that you, you know, like, was there any regrets that you'd rushed it or anything like that, you know?

No, because COVID happened. No, because COVID happened, right? So in Sydney, it was, you know, under the very strict guidelines of the government, we had to lock everything down. So we probably wouldn't have been able to do the wedding anyway. So it would work down. A weird blessing. Weird blessing in disguise. But, you know, the venue was so good because we basically had to say,

what have you got? And because it was already 2018 at the time. Oh, God, don't tell me you did one of those Tuesday punishers. No, God, no, no, no. He's gay, not an idiot. Like a gay is going to accept, like, oh, sorry, we can't make it as a Tuesday. And gay's like, oh, it's on me. It's got to be a weekend.

Sorry, I'm not a couple of hours. Yeah. And we had sure going, we had all the good music, so much so that the wedding next door, actually their dance floor joined our dance floor because they said we're so bored next door. Oh, my high praise. The gay's no party playlist. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We do.

Thank you so much, Chris. In Queensland, is there any snow? Just last night. Just last night. It's just started. More snow. Vaughn wants to go snowboarding in a couple of weeks. Yeah, me too.

Yeah. Well, good luck. Thanks, Chris. Let's go to Jasmine. Jasmine. Why was the wedding rush? So, for religious reasons, my husband and I had to be married. Was that just confronting having a gay on just now?

No. No, no, no. Sorry. Just checking. Who's religion? It feels like it's not yours. No, it's my husband's family's religion. Okay.

Which one of they? One of the, more strict ones. I won't name them. No, no, go, go, go. You don't have to say we've got. I like those ones. Yeah, that's my favourites.

So why did you have to get married so that you could... The ones with the horse and carts. He wanted to... Not quite. He wanted to go to his sister's wedding. So we had to be married. Interesting. So that he could be a member of this church again. Right.

But he was marrying a heathen. I know, right? Crazy. Oh, my God. Did you start to, I mean, I'm beginning to think religion's got plot holes. It really does. Did you find it weird just kind of rushing into it? Well, we had only been together eight months.

Whoa. Yeah, so we rushed our wedding. We had a courthouse wedding with just my parents there. Yeah. Were they just like, what the f? Were they stocked? They were happy. They loved him.

Yeah, okay. Okay, well, that's good. win your name, you may. And then we had to apply, or he had to apply to, like, become a member of the church again. And they got denied. Was there a payment fee? It was a retirement fee. There would be a little admin fee.

Yeah. No, no admin fee or anything. But, yeah, his application was denied. Okay. So he couldn't go to a sister's wedding anyway. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So it was all the waste of time. That's crazy.

And so, Jesman, how long ago was this and are you still married? We are still married. We've just celebrated eight years. Okay, well, go, thank God. As his sister still married? Exactly. Yes. Yes, she is.

Does she want to be, though? For religious reasons or for love reasons? Thankfully, her and her husband are the sweetest couple. They've got two kids. Oh, wow. Nice. All of them, God bothers? Vaughn, you can't say that.

I'm allowed to say that. Oh, because you're a Catholic. Because I did all the Catholic stuff. I'm a lot of God bothers. Jasmine, thank you so. Yeah, thank you so much. Ask some messages in. Why did you rush your wedding?

I've lived here, got married, and put his application in the church, and they're like, nah. And he's like, oh, God damn it. Oh, there's some sweet messages are. Okay, go right. The venue we wanted was going to close down for two years for renovations, but we really wanted the venue. So we rushed in before it got closed. Rainbow's End? Was it when they did the Longflume?

Longflume. The great longflume, Reno. Guys, Rory's message down this. Rory's is cracker. I was going to finish on Rory's. Yeah, you end with it. Yeah, you end with it. If you've not been listening lately,

Rory just bombards us if one-liners on pretty much every topic we do. And some of them hit. And this one's a hit. Okay. There's some sad ones. We got married a few days after finding out that my husband's cancer was terminal so that he was as well as he could be for a best day of our lives and so glad that we were able to do it.

This is a bit sad, but a friend living in America who immigrated to New Zealand as a child from Iran has been living and working in America for the last 15 years. Her visa was under scrutiny or decision delayed this year and her lawyer recommended she married her partner of 10 years. Right. So she can get a marriage visa

as he had another Iranian passport holders and his clients were, this is a lot. They got married and her work visa ended up being denied after it was granted for the last 15 years. But she's Iranian so now apparently that's an issue. It takes 18 months for marriage visa to go through so now she has to leave the country

to come back to New Zealand until that comes through. She can move back to be with her husband. wild. So again, it's pretty much like the church thing. She got married and then I still just like, and they're like, nah, you've got to go. Yeah, nah.

My partner was terminally ill. He was in the garden and found a vintage ring when planting an orange tree. Came inside with the ring, covered in dirt and proposed. We got married two weeks later in the garden. He passed away six weeks later. Has my biggest supporter and I love him missing demons. These are like plots of sad movies. I know they are.

He found the ring when planting an orange tree. Oh my God. Right. I mean, I know that's grief, but right, the script. script. You make a lot of pachangos. Yeah. And in the end, he was just worms dressed up. Like the end of Haley's movie.

Like Haley's movie. Every movie I write ends with the protagonist just being three worms and a human suit. She's got the check from Lord of the Rings sign up with this movie and it ends in... She lives underground. She lives underground and the twist of the end

the end of the movie is and I'm sorry to ruin it for everybody who wanted to go see it in the movies. You were spoiling it for me. I don't know this was the ending. She was a worm all along. That's why she lived on the ground. Amelia Clark came to New Zealand to play a worm. Crazy things have happened. Oh yeah, somebody said, I come from a religious family. The amount of people that get married and then have premature babies blows your mind.

Wank, wink, nudge, nudge. Someone finds out that pregnant, gets married immediately. So many pregnancy weddings. Yeah. Someone said, got married within a couple of months of finding out I was pregnant out of respect for our families. We've been married 19 years and have six kids. But yeah, classic one of those got married. So much white bread, isn't it?

Oh, someone got married because they had a job. You can't afford, you can't afford Vogue. No, you've always just got to buy loaves of white bread. You've got to buy one dollar loaves. Yeah. One, like, two loaves a day. You imagine how many Vogels are 10-inch boys in each group? You couldn't have Vogels. It takes too long to toast.

Even if you bought the very thin Vogels. No, and that's the worst, too. We had a rush. But I like how they're not lying to you on the pack of Vogels. They'll literally say very thin. This is incredibly thin. This is a cracker fin! We had a Rush Registry wedding after my husband secured a job in the UAE.

And because we were moving to Dubai and we had to be married to live together at the time. I know people that, that's the same thing. They were just together and they just had to get married. You can't live with someone unless you married. Yeah, they just did it. Went out for lunch after. Rory messaged in. Ready?

Yeah. I've never been married, but I've had a few near misses. Misses? Near misses. Yeah, I know. Nearly misses. and their misses. That's great, Rory.

Your joke was great. The big explanation afterwards, I think, killed it. Rory. The ZDM Podcast Network. I went to the HBO Max launch party last night. I'd like you to go to an industry event. It's because my friend Bex was organizing it

and she gilded him into it. Oh, right. I did wonder if it was that or free food. Free food? Free food? Dude, they were pouring champagne like, no. I think everybody's got to get an HBO match

subscription just to pay back that champagne bill. Really? So the food was going around and it was themed food. Oh, like there was a Kamapre that had a quail egg but it was supposed to be like a dragon egg and then there was like this thing you picked up the phone and then these people dressed as nurses

from the pit rushed out and gave you a jelly shot. Oh, fine. And it was like Harry Potter puddings and they were like mushrooms. It was amazing. The event was very beautifully done. These massive wraparound digital screens. It was all very impressive.

One of the things, one of the food items was the last of us. mushroom skewer. Oh, okay. Which is wild given that the mushrooms do literally turn everybody to zombies in that game slash TV show. It's all fake and that'll never happen in real life.

There's just no way that, you know, mushrooms or spores will take over the world. One day. Give them enough time they're already doing it. And so the skewer came out and I ate the mushroom off the skeweres. Delicious. Yeah. And oyster mushroom with this lovely

sort of like sauce, chunky dressing on top. I wish I went now. So I ate it and then I looked to the skewer, I was like, that is the perfect size skewer for just making a small, because I've got big skewers at home, I don't have small skewers. I've got some small skewers. I know where

this is going. So are they metal? Yeah, a metal skewer in the pocket it goes. For one? Then I have another one and I'm like... We're associated with HBO. We can't... And the second one, in the pocket it goes.

How many did you take? So I'm like, well, you've got to, the rule is you've got to have six. Yes, you've got to have six of everything. You've got to have six of everything, right? Four that you'll use always and an extra couple of two. Two that rattle around, that you're using a pinch, but you've got to have six. Wine glasses is six, knives and fork, six.

You've got to have six. You've got to have six of these skewers. Someone I've got to have six of these skewers. And then someone at the table we're standing at, finish a skewer and put it down the table, I've got my third skewer. Now, this is where Carmen and Shannon tell me off. They're like, you can't steal this stuff. And I said, here's that. you for being the adults in the room

producer girlies. Honestly, I was called his manager last night and I just think I was managing that behaviour. I got on board pretty quick though. Like I immediately was like, let's do this. So I go on a hunt. Yeah, I also probably can't comment because once

Warren and I at the New Zealand Music Awards stole entire sets of cutlery in someone's handbag. Well, that was the irony is Bex, who's running the event, was actually the same Bex's handbag were used to smuggled that cuckery out of the New Zealand Music Awards. Someone's a full circle.

She can't be angry. She was involved in these shenanigans last time. Wait, did you get a set of six? So on the way out, I said to the girls, I said, if I don't get my full set of six, I'm going to put the, I'm just going to leave the, I'm not taking three. What am I. Which is big bitch behaviour, I'll just say. Yeah, it is.

Just take three, man. Commit. So on the way out, I was looking, I was looking, I was scouring, I was scouring, I didn't find any more so I stayed true to my word. I took the three skewers out and put them on the table for collection. Well, what a waste of time now, I'm disappointed. Yeah, there was a guy walking around with his container and we kept being like, what is that, what's in there? It was the skewers.

So I think he was like looking at you. He was counting him too. He's like, I'm three down. Yeah, either that or he came in the back door dress as a waiter just to steal skewers. That dude is skewers. It's like Ocean's 11. Yeah. But he's not there for money or anything like that.

There was literally hundreds of other things that he could have stolen that would have been better than the skiers. Play ZM's flesh for him and Hayley. Jobs that have the highest and lowest rates of. divorce. And I will say workers of any industry that have odd hours, right up there. I know. Harder for couples to connect daily. Your schedules are out of sync. At the end of the day, maybe if you're a shift worker, you start early. By the time they're ready to hang out and have fun, you're exhausted. Yeah, and you're all you need to sleep. Yeah, your ships in the night, day night. I mean, you can imagine. So do you want the lowest divorce rate career or highest first?

Well, let's go lowest first. So these are the most successful marriages. Yeah, the least likely. To end in divorce. So these are right up their lowest divorce rate, actuaries. Is that a legal thing, an account or an accounting thing? They don't calculate risk and financial risk and rewards. So they worked it out.

They won't get married if the risk is too high. Yeah. They literally work with statistics, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are the risks here? Statistically, we're not going to last, so just let's not. Yeah, 74% she'll cheat on me with someone hotter. No, I won't marry this one.

And after the age of 40, that risk increases significantly. So that's the lowest, followed by physical scientists, like, you know. Physical scientists? Physics or physical? It said physical scientists. Sure, I would have thought that would have been like your physiotherapists in your year. Yeah, okay. And your doctors, maybe.

Chiroprackers and stuff. IT, software developers and physical therapists. Okay. All STEM, science, technology, eating and milk. Milk. Science technology, eggs and milk. All the good things in life.

So health science roles. You're good to go. Okay. Here's the highest one. The highest... Well, that's health science. Healthcare practitioners are your highest. So your doctors, your nurses and things like that.

Naudy. Yeah. They've got... They're the occupations with the most likely to divorce. divorce rate, 48.3% compared to the actuaries having 14.2. Like, that's huge difference. The health care, so doctors, nurses,

dentists, everything like that. Again, odd hours. Odd hours. And also, like, financial stress as well. Financial strain. Like, those kind of workers have their own businesses. Yeah, because up there as well was telemarketers, bus drivers, and press machine operators.

There's got nothing to do with the industry. It's that they're getting paid coin. And so they're stressed. It's like a low-paying job. And also probably our physically demanding, so you're tired. Yeah, you're tired. You're getting enough money to see it. So, do you know that this is out of the States, by the way,

but the US divorce rate sits at 14.4 divorces per 100 marriages. Whereas ours is higher than that. Yeah, what's ours? Can you Google that? The New Zealand divorce rate. And their divorce rates declining. Is it per hundred people? Thousand.

Oh, per thousand. But their divorce rates declining because the marriage rate is also declining, right? Yeah. So there's less people to get divorced. Yeah, true, true, true. But you would think that maybe their divorce rate was slow in the nows because they love Jesus more than we do as a country. Yeah, well, we're an atheist nation.

We are, yeah. So New Zealand's divorce rate is 7.6 divorces per 1,000 existing marriages. Oh, so ours is real low. Love is alive. Love is alive. Cowan, love is alive. About 5% of marriages end within the first five years and 15 within the first 10. Just over a third end within 25.

Love is alive. Hey, remember how you just gave that Uber driver five stars because you wanted five stars back? Yes. Let's do that with this podcast. Oh yeah. Review it five stars. Tell your friends and we'll do the same for you

if you ever need a review for anything. But where are you giving me my five stars? Well, I don't know. Do you own a restaurant or something? Yes. If you give us five stars on this podcast, tell us where you would like your review and we'll review. We'll just review your thing.

I don't want people to know. where my restaurant is. I'm doing one of those secret restaurants. Oh, I was going to say that's exactly the opposite of how all restaurants work. Play Z-Im's Fletchhorn and Haley.
