The ZM Podcast Network.
The Fleachfawn and Hayley Big Pod.
Great things are brewing at McCafe.
The perfect start to every day.
Good morning, welcome to the show.
Fleachfawn and Hayley, three minutes past six.
Happy Friday.
Oh, it is Friday, ain't it?
Hayley, joining us from the Wellington studio this morning.
Yes.
Your comedy show last night, your second show.
How did that go?
Yes, it was good.
Guess who was in the audience?
Brad or Brad?
Bad news, Brad.
Bad news, Brad.
Now, did he go red?
Did he look like it was a lot?
I only caught him about halfway through and I saw him.
He was about halfway back.
He doesn't need to hear you're smart.
Yeah, it was a lot. He was about halfway back. He doesn't need to hear you're smart.
He's a lovely man.
Someone texted my friend actually who's coming tomorrow night
and she sent me a screenshot
and it said, guys, whoever's going to see Hayley
this week, oh my god, you're in for a treat.
Seriously, go again. Enjoy your weekend.
Anyway, and then she texts back saying
she is filthy. Get ready for pubes,
orgasms, something else I can't say on air
Erotica
Porn
Because I'm a little worried
Because I'm going on Saturday night
We're going with a group of friends
And big hearted James is bringing his mum
I know
And she is wholesome
Is she conservative?
I would say wholesome
Wholesome, not conservative
Hayley, why did you let this happen?
You should have said leave mum at home.
He just said to me, hey, can I get an extra ticket for my mum?
And I just said yes.
And now you're just going to have to sit there.
Oh, she is.
I don't think I'd take Christine.
No.
No.
And it's not for Bev either.
Is it not?
No.
My mother-in-law would love it, I think.
Yes, probably.
She's filthy.
She's sex positive.
Okay.
Oh, God. It's going to be very awkward.
It is, yeah. I'm going to sit
next to James and his mum just to
side look at her face. No, don't.
Fletch distance yourself.
The top six is on the way.
A business is currently dealing with the
clean up of 2,000 tyres that
were dumped on their front porch.
Why does someone just dump and get away
with dumping 2,000 tyres? There may have been
an update since I read the story last night about who
it was and why they did it. I will endeavour to find out
but I've got the top six uses for 2,000
tyres. Because I feel like Kiwis are pretty good
at reusing tyres. We love reusing
tyres. Some classic ways there.
Next though, I want to talk about
an iPhone glitch with the new update
which some users are reporting is a little buggy.
Oh, no.
And is causing a trip down memory lane.
Oh, God, no.
Let's just say that.
Yeah, it's not good.
Well, that isn't so good.
Maybe just hold off updating.
Okay.
Well, my phone's not charging at nights anymore, so good.
Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
There is a new update
for Apple iPhone users.
This is 17.5.
I updated it
last night. Oh yeah?
And then I read this article.
Apparently some people
have pointed this out on Reddit.
Somebody had posted that they found four photos after their update from 2010
that reappeared as latest iPhone camera roll pics.
No.
No thank you.
Someone else chiming in, same here.
And yet people have kind of reported that photos from the past that were deleted have reappeared in their camera rolls.
That's weird.
And they reckon it could be down to a whole bunch of stuff like some photo library corruption or an indexing bug, whatever indexing is, or a syncing issue with iPhoto and you'll find, I don't know, but like people are finding photos
and some have even posted on Reddit
that some of these photos were not safe for work photos.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
Did you see photos from 2010?
I was single.
I was single and I was.
And you had an iPhone.
I had an iPhone and I was looking for love.
And sometimes I looked for it by sending a picky or two
to a gentleman or two, and I don't want to see them again.
They're deleted.
Well, I mean, it sounds like it's not the vast amount of people.
It's really random and a small, tiny amount of people
this is happening to.
But they're so weird.
So they were deleted.
And okay, so where did they go when they were deleted?
Onto a...
But back in 2010, no one was on the cloud.
Everybody got, their phone got filled up
and they had to update it with their computer,
take all the photos off.
Well, yeah, because in Apple, it says here,
in Apple's Photos app, deleted photos and videos,
and I'm guessing it's the same as your phone,
once they're deleted,
they're in your deleted items for 30
days, and then apparently they're
deleted permanently from all
devices. But it's not, obviously.
Yeah, but unless they were somehow
somewhere on someone's, I don't know,
yeah, weird. I just saw that
mine hasn't done it automatically, so
I shall not be
updating. Updating just yet.
Yeah.
Oh, God, that's, what a strange thing.
2010.
No, I was just thinking not much.
It was.
Well, no, I'm not saying that.
So these reports, no, it's not just 2010.
It's any time.
This person had photos reappear from 2010,
but other people had photos that were deleted in 2021 reappear.
So it's at any stage.
So it's not just 2010.
Because why are you deleting photos?
I've never really taken photos of my bits and pieces.
So this isn't one of those.
Nah.
Why would you?
None of those are going to pop up.
Most of the things that might be deleted would be like multiple copies of the same photo.
I love when you hear stories though of people
that don't realise that the, you know,
it all syncs.
If it's on your phone, then it's all of a sudden
it's on the family iPad.
Or on the family iPhoto
and then, you know, they get caught out. It's quite funny.
Fletch, have you ever taken a photo of
your bat?
Never, never.
Never?
Wow.
Yeah.
How interesting.
Of course, Hayley.
Yeah.
Look, you've got to have a look. You've got to know what it looks like.
No, Vaughn has once and he posted it to a story accidentally.
On Snapchat, yeah, that was accidentally.
Only mere seconds.
Mere seconds.
Mere seconds.
Mere seconds.
But see, you deleted that and then maybe it'll come back now.
No, it was just Snapchat.
It was never on your camera roll.
Okay, well, just bear that in mind if you're updating.
I'm sure Apple are all over this and we'll be updating that update.
Yeah.
So just a word of caution there.
Next on the show.
We need to talk about the one, the only, the late, the great Avril Lavigne.
Now, she's not dead.
I was going to say, she's not dead.
But I've heard she often arrives late.
She is squashing some conspiracy theories about her.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
There has been a conspiracy theory that apparently in the early 2000s,
Ms. Avril Lavigne complicated Sk8er Boi.
Yes.
Apparently in the early 2000s, Avril Lavigne died.
And there is a woman called Melissa Vandella who has been posing as her this whole time.
This is wild.
This whole thing is wild.
Like, people need to get a grip.
I know.
Oh my God, what a jam.
Banger.
Absolute banger.
What was her big ballad when she's belting?
Complicated.
No.
Songs.
Avril.
Complicated, Girl skater boy.
No.
There's your big fire.
Move on.
What the hell?
I'm with you.
Nobody's home.
I'm with you.
Nobody's home.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
So, anyway.
That's a niche riff.
That's a niche Levine.
That wasn't a big song.
That was an album song.
Yeah, that's niche Levine.
Yeah, it's niche Levine.
Well, no, break away is what I'm thinking. That's Kelly Clarkson. That's Kelly Clarkine. Yeah, it's Niche Levine. Well, no, Breakaway is what I'm thinking.
That's Kelly Clarkson.
That's Kelly Clarkson.
Oh, my God.
Did you just confuse Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne?
No, I'm just on Avril Lavigne's songs, and she's got a song called Breakaway.
Oh, no, she does.
Oh, did she do that?
That's even Niche Levine.
Please don't reference Niche Levine on here.
I'm sorry.
Sorry to Avril and sorry to Niche.
It's not even in her top
10 Levine songs
breakaway. The one where she's all like
I've got it. She's sad.
If you want to hear it. Yeah, okay.
It's real Nisha Levine
though. This is a cover
of Kelly Clarkson's breakaway.
I shan't have it.
Did she do a song with
No, she covered Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway.
Oh, my God.
Hayley.
But if we're going to have Breakaway, we're going to have Kelly Clarkson.
Nobody's home.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
That's where she lies, broken inside.
Right.
With no place to go.
No place to go.
To dry her eyes, broken inside.
Wow, deep.
Anyway, so Avril is not dead
and she has gone on the
Call Her Daddy podcast
to come out once
and for all and say she finds it very funny
and she is aware that there are
worse things people could say about you than
you're dead and have been replaced by an actor.
But it is not true.
She is fine. Now remember
she got very sick. She got Lyme. Lyme disease. She's fine. Now, remember, she got very sick.
She got... Lyme.
Lyme disease.
Lyme disease.
She got tics.
Yeah, tics.
Tics.
And it really stuffed her up for years.
But she didn't die.
Did she put marrying Chad Kroger down to tics?
Yeah, it made her brain crazy.
Yeah.
And she found Chad Kroger from Nickelback hot.
Oh, my God.
They were together a long time.
Because everyone was very beautiful.
She was with Wibbles for a while there.
Derek Wibley from Sum 41.
They were like punk pops under five foot five couple.
Doesn't she talk, she talks about all of this on the podcast, eh?
Yeah.
Didn't she say something like, I've been cheated on by a bunch of times?
But doesn't say who.
Yeah.
Despite having all of these famous...
High profile exes.
Yeah, totally.
I'm just looking up Chad and Avril.
His soul patch is just really divine.
I've just gone to the Call Her Daddy Instagram page.
This is the most listened to podcast in the world for women.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, it's a massive podcast.
Haven't you listened to it?
I'm not a woman.
I'm not allowed, I don't think.
Avril doesn't look like she's aged.
No, she doesn't.
No, she's had a lot of work done.
Oh, has she?
For sure.
I'm terrible at recognising when people have work done.
It's got to be real bad for me to be like,
I've had work done.
Yeah, yeah.
Otherwise, you're like,
this is looking great for their age.
Avril will be turning 40 in September, everybody.
What?
This September, Avril will be 40 years old.
Yeah, because that album was 2002.
Two?
Yeah.
Let go of that album, massive.
Same.
Well, she is...
Are you sure you were 12 or you're not in your 20s?
I was a multiple of 12.
I was 21, yeah.
Yeah.
Wow, that's insane.
Anyway, she's alive, guys.
She's alive and well, and this Melissa person does not exist.
Avril exists.
Because she hasn't really talked about it too much before, eh?
It's been one of those ignore it and it goes away situations
that never actually went away.
She actually lives quite a quiet life, to be fair.
Yeah.
You don't hear of her a lot.
It's all out the latest episode.
Call her daddy.
Call her daddy, yeah, Avril Lavigne.
Next on the show, a woman has worn it online
after she just kind of let something slip.
Literally.
A nip?
Was it a nip?
No.
Oh.
That's my favourite kind of slip.
Play it.
ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley.
Hey, guys, sorry to interrupt,
but Avril actually wrote Breakaway and gave it to Kelly.
Get out. You won't let this go, eh?way and gave it to Kelly. Get out!
You won't let this go, eh? You won't let this go.
Get out, really! Just saying, she wrote it.
She's actually written a few songs for other artists.
Are you wanting an apology?
Are you wanting an apology?
I'm just saying.
Yeah, but that wasn't the ballad you were thinking about, was it?
No, I'm With You is the one I was
thinking of. Yes.
We've actually been down a little bit of an Avril Lavigne rabbit hole
during that song.
Oh, come on.
We wanted you Avril Lavigne for our Friday flashback.
No, I've already got something sorted.
Oh, well, maybe Avril next week if we're still on this buzz.
I told you he would never Avril Lavigne.
No, I'm a huge Sk8er Boi fan.
I believe it was probably the pop song of the year when it came out
and that sang something because it was a great year for pop.
Yes.
But no, I've done it before and, you know, I've got some guests.
I done it.
Now, a woman has gone viral and I feel that Mumsnet brings us always a lot of these kind of contents.
Because she posted and outraged people because she said that she,
in hotel swimming pools, pees in the pool.
And then she's like, surely everyone does this, right?
And then everyone's like, wait, what?
No, you get out and you use the toilet like everybody else.
That's yuck.
But do you know what?
I've got a pool. Do you know what the headline,
the sub-headline under this Daily Mail story says?
What?
Outraged parent calls woman an absolute minger
for urinating in pool.
An absolute minger.
Yes, minger behaviour.
As the pool boy for my pool,
you've got to put in a bit of acid.
Right.
You've got to put in acid to balance the pH
because it naturally starts going towards the alkaline level of things, which will hurt the eyes
as much as the acidic.
Right.
And I said, oh, so man, the big pools, I said to the guy who was telling me this, I said,
big pools must use a lot of acid.
And he's like, no, because kids piss in pools so regularly and it is on the acidic side
of things that it balances it out.
Well, that's another another another stat in the story
says that the average
swimming pool
contains 75 litres of urine.
Oh, yuck.
Don't.
I want to have a swim today.
And as someone that swam,
I just swam in a public pool
yesterday.
You swam in that pool?
There's wee-wees in that pool.
Oh, yeah, I know.
But there's chlorine
and it's treated
and it's filtered.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
So, you know, that's, yeah.
But she absolutely
is wearing it because she, I mean,
I guess she just was kind of like, everyone does this, right?
Like, I do this, it's fine.
No, Queen, no.
And has worn it.
Oh, yuck.
I mean, I've definitely peed in pools before,
but it's not a regular occurrence.
Yeah, did you get told ever at school if you were in?
Yeah, that there was dye that would be released?
And everybody believed that, eh?
Yeah, oh, God, yeah, I was mortified of the dye.
Oh, yuck, that's so grim.
Do you remember the first time as a kid
after you'd been talked about the dye
when a little bit came out,
and you were like, I'm in so much trouble with dye,
and then you look down, there's no dye,
and you're like, it was a lie.
Yeah, and then you just release your full water
into the pool.
Just waste it hard, y'all.
Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey.
Play ZM.
Blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
This is the top six.
Right.
An Auckland business owner is going to have to pay more than $6,000
to get rid of over 1,800 illegally dumped tyres outside his store.
What the heck?
How do you?
That's truckloads.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So this is in Onehunga,
and Farman, the owner of a tyre shop,
who does own a tyre shop,
was home, went home, 10 o'clock at night.
The neighbour across the road is like,
man, Faram's getting a big delivery of tyres.
Yeah.
Couple of truckloads of tyres get dropped off.
Secondhand, shitty, old.
What the hell?
I reckon rival tyre outlet.
That takes these tyres off, doesn't know what to do with them.
It's like, let's go dump it on his doorstep.
This is absolutely wild.
So at 11pm, the same people who had scoped out the store and was like, let's go dump it on his doorstep. This is absolutely wild.
So at 11pm, the same people who had scoped out the store and dumped the initial returned four more trucks.
What?
And dumped 1,874 tyres blocking two doors of his business.
Jeepers.
Yeah.
They obviously knew where the CCTV cameras were
because their number plates never showed up on them.
But that doesn't mean you're not going to be seen
driving through intersections.
Like, that wouldn't be a hard to get some...
Because it's an industrial area.
You could probably get somebody else's footage.
I watch a lot of police procedurals.
You do?
There'll be cameras.
Can I show you the...
I mean, Hayley, I could put this in the group chat,
but that's...
Whoa!
1,874 tyres is a lot.
You know tyre stores are always giant. They've got big roller doors
because they've got to hoist the cars up.
Takes up the whole thing. That is like covering
the roller doors. That is insane.
That's audacious. It's an audacious crime.
That's audacious. Audacious. Audacious.
Auckland Council told them they could not help because the tyres were
on private property. Meanwhile, the police said
they needed to talk to the council. This sounds like
a roundabout to me. You know what?
They're on council property
when you roll them onto the road.
Make a stack of them
right in the middle of...
Or they hung a mall.
Or take them to Auckland Domain.
Just leave them there.
Ah, they were on private property.
When he called the council back,
they said you need to fill out
the police report
and the police were like,
no, we need to talk to the council.
Oh my God.
So now I've got to get rid of them.
One tyre cost $3.50 plus GST to remove. Meaning the whole operation would cost them $6, my God. So now I've got to get rid of them. One tyre costs $3.50 plus GST to remove,
meaning the whole operation would cost them $6,559.
I say we all chip in.
Here are the top six uses for Nyon 2000 tyres.
Great.
Six.
2,000 ways to start a bloody good bonfire.
Okay, no, Vaughan.
Better diesel.
No.
Match on a tyre.
Those. What's that called? I've got some rubbish I could chuck on there. Get, no, Vaughn. Better diesel. No. Match on a tyre. Those
kind of got some rubbish I could chuck on there.
Yeah, get it on, girl.
Those, when you see like a scrapyard
or a tyre place go up, they go for days.
I don't want to... And also bad
for the environment. Terrible for the environment.
I don't want to name names, but my
stepfather-in-law loves a tyre fire.
Does he? Why does he do that?
Just to get it going. Just to get it going.
Tyre fire.
Just to get it going.
Ah, there's farmers listening to the late year.
Don't get a steel-mounted radial,
because then afterwards you're left with the wire of it.
Right.
You want an old school, weak-walled, cheap-shoe tyre.
I don't do those anymore.
Oh, the good old days.
I harp.
I harp for them.
Number five on the list of the top six uses for 2,000 tyres
are bed bases for bachelors.
Now, this was Shannon's suggestion at the social media desk,
which really makes me worry about her single days.
You did not go to someone's house and they had tires for a bed base.
I reckon I've seen worse, eh?
But definitely a pallet bed, a tire bed.
Tire bed bouncy.
They would smell, right?
Like, tires stink.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they would always do the stadium seating in the lounge, you know,
with the couches, and they'd use tires to rock up the back couch.
Wow.
Good times.
Happy to be not in that world anymore.
What's the suspension like on a tire bed?
Once you've worn out that outside thread, you need a wheel alignment,
you know what I mean?
You're getting a little bald
on the outside,
so you're going to need
some new tyres.
If you had a tyre
with the pallets on top,
that would be better
because at least it would
be a bit more even.
No, it'd be so messy.
No, it'd be terrible.
Not if you get seasick.
Yeah, a bit of a
homemade waterbed situation.
You'd have to take sea legs
every time you went to the beach.
Great for the core though when you're up on top of them.
Yes.
Engage core.
Hold.
Roll.
Go with the motion of the ocean.
This is coming from a man that's used a Swiss ball once in the Thrones of Passion.
I have.
That's why he's got a great core.
Great core strength.
That's why I've got a bad lower back, actually.
Ask too much.
Number four on the list of the top six uses for 2,000 tires.
Tire swings for kids all over the country.
Do they still do those?
Or are they dangerous?
Now, again, you want the old ones without the steel belted
because you'd cut them open and pull them apart like that.
Oh, right.
Except for the fat kids that get stuck.
Oh.
Oh.
Yeah, and you'd always get the black tire marks on your clothes.
Yes, you would.
I'm stoked about that.
Number three on the list of the top six uses for our 2,000 tyres,
homemade harrows.
I've done this.
What is a harrow?
A harrow you tow behind like a quad bike or a tractor or something,
and all the animal poos in the paddock gets rolled over
and smooshed into the ground.
It self-fertilises.
So you get like, I've got nine, so I've got three and then two
and then one
in a triangle shape, bolted together,
and you tie it behind your motorbike
and it murlies up all the poo
that's been left behind by creatures
and kind of self-fertilises.
Oh, gosh.
It's one for the lifestyle farmers.
You should just come out drinking with us sometime.
Nah.
It sounds boring.
Yeah.
Number two on the list of the top six uses for 2,000 tyres,
potato planters. I'm always the list of the top six users for 2,000 tires, potato planters.
I'm always getting one of those five
minute bloody things on
Facebook. Oh God, they're terrible.
They're terrible. I want a load of junk.
Most of that crap suffers. And then you've
just got 10 tires in your backyard.
This does work. You put your potatoes in and then
you put one tire in some dirt and then when they
grow, you put another tire on top and you put dirt
in that and you grow it and grow it and then when you finish
you just take the tyres off
and all the potatoes are there.
Am I ruining your list
because some people use them
as a retaining wall?
I'm not.
That's not on my list
but they do.
Yeah, they do.
And kind of stack them back.
Yeah.
That could work.
Stack them back.
I reckon you almost need
to put concrete in them though
as you're doing that.
Yeah.
Because you always see
those tyre retaining walls
all the piss.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And number one on the list of the top successes for 2,000 tyres,
we learnt it's how they did it earlier in the week
when they invented Doc Martens.
Cut out your sole and re-sole your shoes with them.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, that'd be good.
Bouncy again.
Good bounce.
Yeah, good bit of squish.
I don't know if that's going to help that poor guy
that's got 2,000 tyres.
Nah, he's blocking his front door.
18,000 shoes.
That is today's top six.
Vaughan.
Vaughan.
I can hear that from bloody Wellington.
I meant to do it earlier,
and then we're playing a little in-studio basketball,
and I was absolutely sinking threes.
Vaughan Curry, they were calling me.
I don't know if they were. Vaughan Curry, $ they were calling me. I don't know if they were.
Vaughan Curry, $17
with an arm. I don't know if they were.
Get it hot.
Is your snores empty? Why are you
still not better? You've been sick for like
six weeks. It's not six weeks,
it's two weeks.
It tastes like dirt and I don't want to take that
and no, I'm not.
I'm definitely getting towards the end of it now,
but I'm still not 100%.
Good.
Have you got, I think you've got a bad immune system.
Oh, there's no doubt about it.
I'm telling you, it's his gut health.
Doesn't take his gut health seriously.
Get some kombucha.
It needs some booch, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, Hinge, the dating app.
It is, I always get them confused.
Bumble's the one where the girls message
first, right? Although they're changing that
so that you can make it so that you don't have to.
Oh, okay.
Well, Hinge is
implementing a new rule
which I think is really good.
And it could kind of put
an end to ghosting, I reckon.
Oh, we'll see.
I won't die on that, but it could.
Now, if you have more than eight unreplied messages
in your inbox on Hinge,
they won't let you add any more matches or any more likes.
You've got to respond
or delete or
move on. Because apparently people
just have inboxes full of
a hundred messages.
So delete them, read
them or reply no thanks.
Do you reply no thank you? Thank you for your
inquiry. I don't know. Is it like a job interview?
Thanks but no thanks.
Thanks but no thanks. You haven't passed our minga filter. Nory. I don't know. Is it like a job interview? Yeah, yeah. Thanks but no thanks. Thanks but no thanks.
You haven't passed our minga filter.
No, but people just don't reply.
And that's the problem with the apps is even people will match and then not message.
Yeah.
Which is weird.
So they're saying they've got a good match rate, but then all these singles have these
inboxes full of unanswered messages.
Right.
So now you've got eight and then you're done and you've got to either check them, begin
the conversation.
And they're hoping that it'll like force people to actually take it outside of the app and go on a date.
You know, not just sort of gather these messages and use it like a game.
Because like you see people get a match and they're like, hey, I've got a match.
And then they don't go through with anything else.
Yeah, so many people are just kind of hanging out on those apps, eh?
They're not really doing anything.
Lurking.
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh.
What did you do?
Yeah, you're there.
I put my elbow on the button.
And turned it off.
That's right.
I'm in a studio on my own
and I didn't go to the school of radio,
so I just have to leave.
That's right, I started this by blowing my nose,
so I think, you know.
Yeah, we're all learning.
Two rookies is what I'm working with here.
We're learning.
We're learning how to do, how to done radio.
And it's going well.
Listen to this though.
Preposterous.
Preposterous.
Oh, you didn't pump your peas.
She did pump her peas a little bit.
A little bit.
Preposterous.
That is a preposterous.
It's preposterous.
It's preposterous.
What a preposterous possum. I'm the best at the peas. Is it preposterous. It's preposterous. What a preposterous possum.
I'm the best at the peas. Is it preposterous?
Are you the best at the peas? I'm the best at the peas.
What a preposterous possum. What about
Peter picked a preposterous pickle?
Peter picked a
preposterous pickle.
A preposterous pickle.
I love a soft look.
I got a very
active tongue and a soft look.
Oh. That did something to me and I feel confused.
I'm in Wellingtonian and yesterday I came out of the theatre and I was sitting, I was
sat at the bar, I was sat at bar.
Something else happened in the bar and that's going to be in the podcast, by the way. I know, juicy. was sat at the bar. I was sat at bar. Something else happened in the bar,
and that's going to be in the podcast, by the way.
I know, juicy.
Oh, yeah, juicy podcast.
Real juice.
Anyway, I was sitting at the bar,
and my friend who was meeting me for a drink,
who works at the venue, was taking his sweet time.
And he turned up, and he said,
there's two people stuck in the lift.
I was like, what?
So this is where you're doing your comedy show?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's up a floor.
Yeah.
And, yeah, two people got stuck in the lift.
And they were in there for about 30 minutes or 35 minutes.
Oh, no.
Before Schindler arrived.
Yeah.
Oscar.
He does all the lifts, doesn't he?
Schindler's lift. Yeah. Because they had to call Schindler's arrived. Yeah. Oscar. He does all the lifts, doesn't he? Schindler's lifts.
Yeah.
Because they had to call Schindler's lifts.
Yeah.
And the guys that got stuck in the lifts,
who I ended up hanging out with for a bit,
they were like,
I cannot believe that that lift company is called Schindler's lifts.
I was like, yeah, it's so wild.
Yeah, because it's a lift.
Yeah, it's either them or they're Otis.
That's a lift company.
Yes, Otis.
They do Otis.
Yeah, Otis do lifts
and there's a bunch of them.
I believe that,
and this might be
conspiratorial,
that the same person
in New Zealand
that's contracted
to service Otis lifts
also service Schindler's Lifts.
Just one thing.
What do you reckon?
I thought it was
different companies.
Do you know a lot about Lyft companies?
I've been stuck in a Lyft.
Have you?
And I had to call a number and I went through to Australia.
Oh, okay.
This was in Hamilton and they had a local contracted person on call in Hamilton.
Oh, right.
And I thought, surely there's not more than one of these jokers.
Yeah.
And I said, do you fix all the Lyfts or just this?
Because I believe I was in a notice. Right. And he said, do them all the lifts or just this because I believe I was in a notice.
Right.
And he said,
do them all, mate.
Do them all.
Yeah, but he didn't really want to talk to us
because he was angry at us
because we were playing
silly buggers in the lift.
Oh, yeah.
Were you jumping up and down?
I hate when people
jump up and down on the lift.
No, we were pulling
the door open.
Oh, my God.
So we could see
what it looked like
between the floors.
It does look pretty cool.
It's quite thick. It's a bit thicker than you'd think.
It's really a bit
thicker than you'd think.
So these people were in the lift for half an
hour. Yeah, so my friend who
works as the venue tech there, he
was talking to them through the doors
and the first thing the guy
said was, man, I really need to go to the
toilet. And then my friend was like,
you might have to pee into your clothes,
and then the dude said, that's not what I meant.
He needed to poop.
Oh, no!
Yeah.
Anyway, so they ended up getting out of the lift,
and I talked to them because I was hanging around,
and they had to wait because they had convinced their friends
to go to a comedy show.
And they were seeing Wilson Dixon, who we've talked to.
Yeah.
And the two guys that got stuck in the lift
are huge Wilson Dixon fans.
And their four friends that made it into the show
aren't really.
Oh.
They were like, come on, come see some comedy.
Oh, I'm in the mood.
Oh, it's this American country singer.
Oh, that doesn't sound like me.
And then these two were absolutely beside themselves.
And then I was talking to the guy.
He said, I've waited five years to see Wilson Dixon.
And I was like, oh, and they got stuck in a lift.
And so they missed his whole show because they were stuck in a lift.
Missed the whole show, yeah.
Oh, no.
Wow.
So the audience came out and they had a good time.
Are they going to get to see him tonight or tomorrow?
Yep, they're going tonight.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
But taking the stairs this time.
Taking the stairs.
Well, I said to him, I said,
it's a bit embarrassing you got stuck in a lift
getting from the ground floor to the first floor.
Okay, a bit of sass from you, but not wrong.
But it was sass from me, but they were up for a bit of bants.
And he had his sore head of bung knee, that's why.ass from you, but not wrong. But it was sass from me, but they were up for a bit of bants. And he had a bung knee, that's why.
Oh, okay, right.
So is this where your comedy shows that as well?
Because I'll be taking the stairs tomorrow night.
Yes.
Okay, good.
There's only one stair.
I reckon I could have pried the doors.
Did they try prying the doors open?
They did try to pry the doors,
and they were in between in the concrete shaft.
No, and that's final destination stuff.
You don't, you don't, and then.
You probably get them out, but we've all seen Final Destination.
Yeah, so you've got to wait for the, I guess the fire service or a tech to come
and get it to the ground floor.
Well, we all started sharing stories about getting stuck in lifts
and like the things you miss.
Because I've talked about this on here before,
about getting stuck on New Year's Eve with 10 people in a lift.
And that's why, because all these people crammed into the lift
before we could say, and it started dragging down.
And I saw the whole concrete shaft.
Horrible thing to see.
And I love a shaft, but I didn't like that one.
Not a concrete one.
So we want to take some calls this morning on this,
because it is like, I don't know,
can anyone beat half an hour stuck in a lift?
Yeah, surely.
And what did you miss when you were stuck in a lift?
Or did something horrible happen in there?
Because when I got stuck in the lift, the eight other people that were in there with me and my friend were wasted.
It was crazy. Yuck. Rowdy, ruddy-faced,
wasted, middle-aged people.
And I was just like,
this is hell.
And how long did it take you to get out?
We were in there for almost an hour.
It was honestly one of the most horrendous things.
Okay, let's take your calls.
Give us a call now
if you've been stuck in a lift
and for how long.
And maybe was there a point
where you needed to go to the toilet and you
couldn't or you had to just go?
Like, what do you do?
You're stuck in the lift. Horror
stories. 0800 dials at
Amazon number. You can text through 9696.
When were you stuck in a lift?
We want to know when you were stuck in a lift.
Maybe you missed something.
Maybe you had a horrendous time in there.
I saw someone messaging six hours.
Six hours.
Six hours.
That is horrendous.
On like a hot, if it's summer and it's hot?
Yeah, they said that they stank. They were stuck in there with a group of boys and afterwards it stank.
Six hours, someone's peeing in there.
Ah, Danielle, your friend was stuck
in a lift? Yes.
It wasn't me, it was my friend.
Okay, how long for?
It was only about, like, just over an hour
but it was at lunchtime. She was going
to the gym, so she was going to use the bathroom there.
So I couldn't hold it and just went.
Oh, my God.
What do you mean in her pants?
Oh, no.
Yeah, so she just weeded herself in the lift.
And so where was the lift?
Was she like ding-donging or calling someone on the emergency button?
Yeah, so it's at the Les Mills, which has like multiple floors in Wellington, and it has
like a building lift as well. Yes, I knew it was going to be that one.
Oh, okay, but she couldn't have taken
the stairs. She was just like, I'll take the
lift because it'll be quicker?
Yeah, because we go in on
level four to go down to the ground
floors for the gym. Oh, right.
Okay, right, right, right. Oh my god.
You'd hope, because I'm imagining
she's wearing some sort of gym short
or gym legging that wouldn't really hold a lot, so there's still,
you know, because you'd hope that you'd pee yourself enough
that your clothes would absorb it and there wouldn't be a pool on the floor.
Yeah, no.
I think she had a, I'm pretty sure she was in, like, leggings and a hoodie,
so I guess she just sort of absorbed.
Quick show of hands, if you were in a lift and you were going to wee,
I'd, like, drop, trowel and wee in the corner.
I wouldn't wee in my pants.
I'd wee in my pants.
And I don't know what that is.
That was here when I got here.
That's what I'd say when they rescued me.
Yeah, I'd be like, someone's pissed in here.
I'd be like, was it you?
They'd be like, was it you who was stuck in here for an hour?
You're the only person in this lift, sir.
I've been stuck in here with that person.
That's disgusting.
And then you look up and there's a camera.
Yeah.
That's a good point from producer Carl Ween there.
You, easy for you.
We have to squat.
What about, could you use the gym?
I'd use the gym towel.
Put the gym towel down.
Yeah, pee into the gym towel.
I don't always bring a towel.
I'm a pig.
Or a drink bottle.
You guys can all eat.
Or a drink bottle.
Yeah.
But what if you're busting for a wee, but your drink bottle. You guys can all eat. Or a drink bottle. Yeah. But what if you're busting
for a wee, but your drink bottle's full of water?
Do you think you'd be able to
drink half the water
and then pee into it? No, because you'll need to pee again.
You'll need to pee again.
You're better pouring the water on yourself
and peeing into the bottle. I'm just peeing in the corner of the lift. I'm not feeling bad about peeing
in the corner of the lift either, because I'm stuck in this lift.
Yeah, if you get stuck, yeah. This is the lift's fault. I'm peeing on it.
Danielle, thank you for sharing your friend's horrible story. You'd pee in the lift either because I'm stuck in this lift. This is the lift's fault. I'm paying on it. Danielle, thank you for sharing your friend's
horrible story. You'd pay in the lift if you were
in there for like six minutes. Oh, dude, absolutely.
If I was in there for an hour,
I'd probably try to squeeze out a poo.
Just as an act
of vengeance.
Some more messages in. Well, there's certainly
no shortage of people who have been stuck in lifts.
I got stuck in a lift for about
45 minutes as I hopped in. The person
leaving said, good luck.
And then the door shut. It went bang
and the door jumped off its runner. The door
would only open by about five centimetres. It wouldn't
budge. Oh, that person
should have said, don't get in here.
Yeah, don't get in this thing.
I'm claustrophobic and I was stuck on a lift for
45 minutes. Luckily, only three of us were in it.
So we all sat in the corners pretending it was
a much bigger space
even though it's 45 minutes
you're eyeing up
who you're going to eat
first day
absolutely
I also think
it's 45 minutes
but you don't know
it's going to be 45 minutes
it could be five
it could be hours
it could be days
it could be forever
you could be like
the Argentinian rugby team
that crashed the plane
in the Andes
oh yeah
you think someone's
going to come for you
but they don't.
They're just giving up
on you.
Thanks for this wonderful
Friday morning anxiety attack.
Lift to my biggest fear.
Oh.
Since becoming a mum
I used to be really
afraid of them.
I have to use a lift
because of the pram
but I hate it
the minute the door's shut.
I just start panicking
and get all tense
until they open again.
Yeah, they're awful.
I got stuck in the lift
at the Flying Nun office
on Queen Street, Auckland.
Flying Nun, the famous New Zealand recording label.
Yes, okay.
It was one of those ones with windows in the doors.
I could see people on the other side waiting,
but no one looked at me.
Oh.
And I was stuck in there.
We have, because I live in a really old building,
like 1920s, the goods elevator is one of those
old school ones with like a grate that you have to go across.
Oh, it's so cool.
Yeah.
Oh, no, that's awful.
And you just go between the floors and you see everything.
It's like.
Oh, no, I don't like that at all.
They used to be janky A-lifts.
Yeah.
About 15 years ago at Green Lane Hospital.
Green Lane Hospital.
Does Green Lane have a hospital?
Yes, just a gigantic hospital. It's ginormous. It's like ginormous for them Does Green Lane have a hospital? Yes, Vaughan. Just a gigantic
hospital. It's ginormous. It's like
ginormous for them. Is it a private hospital?
No, it's a public.
Green Lane and Auckland. No, there's Middlemore
and there's Auckland Central. And there's Green Lane
and Auckland Central. But that's private. No, it's
not. You were thinking of the one, look,
I'll show you pictures. It's a giant
No, it's over the road from the
conference place.
The conference thingy.
What conference thingy?
It's a gigantic hospital.
That's National Women's Hospital.
That's not Green Lane Hospital.
That's Wintry Hill.
No, that's.
That's National Women's.
No, it's.
Vaughan, please.
I'm familiar with the building now.
You're embarrassing yourself.
It backs onto Wintry Hill.
Yes.
The Green Lane Clinical Centre.
It's not the Women's Hospital. I thought it was National Women's. It may have been back in. Yes. The Green Lane Clinical Centre. It's not a women's hospital.
I thought it was National Women's.
It may have been back in the day.
Yeah, it's by pharaohs.
Okay.
That's how rich people navigate Auckland.
Where's the class of sparrows, darling?
It's by pharaohs, darling.
You know the pharaohs in the corner, darling.
Yes, I know the pharaohs, darling.
Yeah, Hayley will tell you anything's a Glengarry or a Faroes.
Oh, darling.
There is a Glengarry, I think, just down the road.
There's a Glengarry, darling.
Yeah, it's close to the Faroes,
but don't bother.
Faroes has beautiful wine selection.
Oh, darling.
Right here.
So 15 years ago at Green Lane Hospital,
National Women's,
and the old building they'd moved out of,
we were clearing old furniture.
Oh, no.
I'm not going into an old hospital and getting stuck in the lift.
The lift got stuck and people on the other end of the speaker said,
sorry, we don't service that building anymore.
Can't remember what happened,
but I think we were stuck for about three hours.
Three?
Wow.
In an old abandoned hospital.
Yeah.
And the lift where they're like, we don't service that.
Brother, ugh.
Brother, ugh. Brother. Brother.
Brother.
But a good thing is once they got out, darling, they could just pop down for Faraz.
Well, I was there.
I need to replenish.
I'm so hungry, darling.
Darling, I'm going to need some hard cheddar and some sun-dried martos immediately.
And an Oaty cracker.
Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. sun-dried maltose immediately. And an Oaty Cracker. That's how we say hello
in Hayley's Horny Book Club.
Instead of hello,
it's hello.
Now this is the biggest thing
in, well I guess books
and audio at the moment is adult erotica.
Romance erotica.
Adult romance erotica, yeah.
Yeah.
So, and we've talked about the Quinn app.
We actually talked to the creator a few months ago of the app.
It's less of reading the books and more like these little plays, these little interactive plays.
And I talked earlier in the week about the fact that they make these original series
and they're kind of like storytelling with a sexy twist.
And they get celebrities to do it.
And they were teasing all week.
There's a new one.
And everyone was like, it's the hot priest.
And it is.
Jesus.
They say it like that?
They did.
Really the most un-erotic sound.
For a book place that's supposed to explore erotic sounds,
that was really.
You can see why I haven't actually been asked to do any voicing
for the Quinn app.
Yeah.
So Andrew Scott, you'll know him As the hot priest from Fleabag
Also All of Us Strangers
And by the way
Ripley apparently is amazing
Right
Everyone is telling me it's amazing
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
He plays the talented Mr Ripley, right?
The remake
It's a TV series remake of the movie
And he also has an Irish accent
Which is universally acknowledged
As one of the hottest accents in the world.
Do you know he's 47?
What?
He's 47.
Hot.
That is a hot age.
That's hot.
I didn't know that.
That is, that's just made him so much hotter.
Right, okay.
Anyway, so he was doing an original series.
He's been, you know, teasing and they announced it was him.
It's called The Queen's Guard.
And it was, ep one dropped yesterday, right?
So after my show, I was like, I've got a hotel room.
I'll go home and I will listen to this Queen original
and I'll see how it makes me feel.
Obviously for the show, like research.
That's right, because my show is about erotica.
You take your job so seriously that you're researching every moment you can.
And that's why my Quinn is a business expense tax.
I could write it off as tax.
Okay.
Now, do you want to hear a little bit?
And don't worry, it's not bad.
It's not bad.
I won't play a spicy bit.
Okay, okay.
We just want to hear.
I'm just going to play it into the mic.
Okay.
Big sound, big sounds.
It's got a whole orchestra.
It's too much.
I'm too...
This is supposed to make people horny.
No, I'm worried about an attack.
Right.
It does sound like...
Hang on, so this is the intro.
Here's voice.
Notes from Rob the Protector on the day of our star ride, my 19th year of Her Majesty's reign. He's got a great voice, doesn't he? Great voice. Notes from Rob the Protector on the day of Ostara,
the 19th year of Her Majesty's reign.
He's got a great voice, doesn't he?
Great voice.
Today marks the spring equinox,
which has always been a joyous holiday in the kingdom.
Anyway, so it goes on, right?
So he's the Queen's guy.
He's the guard to the Queen, apparently.
Right.
Now, the point of these apps, it is an erotica.
It's supposed to make you feel sensual
and perhaps to give yourself a lovely bit of self-love.
My review is I fell asleep like four minutes in according to my phone and woke up and no flutters.
Right, so you kind of need to go back and start again.
Well, I don't know.
I don't think it's as hot as it was teased as being.
I mean, his voice is delicious.
He's got a great voice.
Yeah.
We could just go watch Fleabag for that.
Two issues from the producer's booth.
Carwin is not into fantasy, but you're into Andrew Scott.
Yes, I'm the same, Carwin.
It's not my genre.
Yeah, but like he's my genre, youwen. It's not my genre. Yeah, but like, he's my genre, you know?
But he's my genre.
Did you listen, Carwen?
I haven't yet.
I did listen to a few of the clips that they've been posting,
and I'm like, okay, sure, yeah.
Okay, so they've kind of hooked you in,
but you're not into the fantasy world and that kind of...
Nah, like I don't read those books.
Like, I haven't read Akatar.
It's not for me.
But maybe it will be.
And the other issue from the Producers' Booth
is Jared thinks that's not how a Queen's Guard would talk.
So ladies, if you want to, I'm going to warn you,
you could get horny.
Jared, how would a Queen's Guard actually speak?
Okay, oh my God.
Oh, wow.
Is he going to do the, is he going to, okay, wow.
All right, another day in the kingdom.
Looking after McQueen.
Oh, I don't think anyone's going to hump that, Jared.
I'm sorry, Han.
I am sorry.
Intruder.
We're going intruder.
Quarterguard.
You know what, Jared's probably right.
That's probably how they sound.
He's right.
He's right.
I live to serve me queen.
Well, it's out.
Andrew Scott

Got your weekend
Watching sorted
Okay
Dive in
I'm excited for this
This is great
I need something on the plane
To watch
You'll
Today
Yeah so it's About 50-odd minutes each episode,
and there's three episodes.
Oh, that's in Auckland to Wellington.
That's in Auckland to Wellington.
And that one's in Auckland.
That's in Wellington to Auckland.
You could watch one at some stage.
You might find yourself with a little downtime
in a hotel room to watch the middle episode.
It's the Ashley Madison documentary series
that's popped up on Netflix this week.
Sex, Lies, and Scandal. Because they've had a previous one on Ashley Madison documentary series that's popped up on Netflix this week. Sex, Lies and Scandal.
Because they've had a previous one on Ashley Madison before.
So for those that don't know, Ashley Madison has been a website for a long time.
Yep, 2001 it started.
It goes through the history of it in the first episode.
2001 it started.
It didn't really start hitting its stride until about 2007.
Then it went nuts.
And in 2015 they had a data breach.
That's right.
It's a website for organized affairs.
It was you were married, you went on there,
you were looking for someone not to, you know,
have a long-term relationship with, but a fling.
It was to organize flings.
Scratch the edge.
It is a wild documentary because the guy that becomes CEO,
who wasn't the original starter, the original founder,
but he becomes CEO, he just doesn't give a shit, to put it mildly.
He goes on talk shows and argues with women
about how infidelity is great for a marriage.
Yeah.
Because it's great for his business.
Scratch in the itch.
It gets it done.
You can remain in a healthy relationship,
but you get to
test the waters.
You're encouraging people to
destroy families. It's not
destroying families. That's why you use us. We're discreet.
You can have your thing and it doesn't need to destroy a family.
It's
a wild watch and it's basically
about the people that
were exposed in the
data breach. It's all about the data breach. Basically, it's leading exposed in the data breach.
It's all about the data breach, basically.
It's leading up to the data breach.
We just finished the second episode,
and the data breach has happened.
And you can kind of tell that some people are about to be exposed.
Yeah.
Because the data breach...
Oh, sorry.
No, the data breach exposed, like, names and everything.
Yeah, emails.
Identities of people, didn't it?
Everything.
You had to put your credit card details in to sign up
because it cost.
That was what I always wondered about Ashley Madison.
How did they make their money?
So you paid to sign up and with that,
you got a page of 10 people.
Right.
Like of potential people you could message.
Right.
Now, if you wanted to see the next page,
you've got to pay again.
Oh.
So if no one's for you on that first page.
What if everyone's a minger on your first page?
You've got to pay for the second page. Wouldn't you do that? You'd send What if everyone's a minger on your first page? You've got to pay for
the second page.
Wouldn't you do that?
You'd send them the
first page of mingers
and then be like to
get more money.
I reckon you'd put
mostly mingers, a
couple of hotties so
they're like yes, yes.
I've got to get that
next page.
Yeah.
Okay.
So it's wild watching.
I saw people, somebody
I saw on Instagram
said want to start a
fight with your
partner about nothing.
Watch this together.
And so I was like, hmm.
But then Shade and I watched it together
and we were loving it watching it as a couple.
Do you reckon it brought you closer together?
Because you're like, oh, we're perfect.
It felt pretty good.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
But so there's one couple on there
who are like high and mighty, we're perfect Christians.
Little do they know.
Little do they know.
Or little does she know that soon after they were like high school
sweethearts, soon after they got married, this guy.
Wait, so they're filming them for the doco before they know they're
being exposed or after the fact?
So this guy's story was he got married and then immediately was like,
I need more.
I need more.
Like he loved attention.
Right.
And so he went on Ashley Madison and he started having affairs
with these other people.
His wife, no idea.
She's at home looking after the kids.
Yup.
He's doing this.
Then one day, just aching to be famous,
they filmed themselves lip syncing
a song from Frozen
and it goes big
on YouTube
all of a sudden
he's like
now we're a YouTube family
we're vloggers
we're vlogging
every aspect of our life
right
and they
like set up
these pregnancy things
like we're pregnant
and
it all just
reeks of
we want to be famous
more than anything
yeah
so we're just about up to the part
where the Ashley Madison data breach is going to come out.
Because he's well known,
because he's made himself such a look at me,
look at me on YouTube.
Oh, I need to watch this.
This sounds exciting.
It's going to be so full from grace.
But now that in the documentary,
because obviously like,
I'm assuming it all goes terribly.
And they're still after that fame.
But he still wants to be famous.
Of course he does.
So now he's telling everybody about the bad things he's done.
Right.
Because it's out there anyway.
So I might as well try to get a bit more fame off this.
Yeah.
It's a mess.
Oh, okay.
Oh, right.
And it's three X.
And they're not the only.
There's a few couples.
Right.
That are involved in it.
Oh, this is fascinating.
Yeah, one couple that were like all about it,
but didn't want people outside their marriage knowing.
Like they were both on Ashley Madison Sleeping
with other married people.
Oh, like an open situation.
Yeah, but they held like a bit of a reputation
in their neighborhood.
And they didn't want their kids,
because they had kids,
they didn't want their kids to find out either.
But then they're on this documentary
now talking about it.
And now their kids will be like,
hey.
But I'm sure they found that anyway, right?
Yeah, well,
I assume that it's about to go public.
They each didn't know
the other one was on there.
No, no, they both knew
each other weren't on there.
They had a deal.
They had a deal.
But their take on it
is going to be
within the community
we were quite respected people.
Right.
And there's another woman.
Yeah.
And we've only just met her
at the end of the second episode. Okay. But she's married to the local pastor. Oh. And there's another woman. Yeah. And we've only just met her at the end of the second episode.
Okay.
But she's married to the local pastor.
Oh.
And he's not on the documentary.
So me thinks he was on Ashley Madison.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I'm excited.
It's, we didn't, yeah.
I think probably if you're in a relationship that survived a cheating situation.
Don't watch it.
There could be a bit of.
Yeah.
Remind you of anyone, Daryl?
But it's good stuff.
Yeah.
Okay, it's out on Netflix now.
Yeah, Ashley Madison.
What are the cheatings?
All I know,
if you just search Ashley Madison on Netflix.
Lies, sex, and scandals or something like that.
Lies, sex, and scandals, something like that.
Three parts, about 50 odd minutes each.
Sex, lies, and scandal.
I got the order wrong.
Yeah.
Okay, because I'm getting some messages as well.
What's the name of the show
Vaughan's talking about?
Yeah.
Yeah.
On Netflix.
Check it out.
Next on the show
before eight o'clock.
And it's called Ashley Madison
because those were just
the two most popular
girls' names at the time.
Yes.
If you've ever wondered
why it was called Ashley Madison.
It's not named after anybody.
And Ashley Madison still exists.
Shanae and I have signed up.
I'm just trying something new this weekend.
I might jump on and try to match with Sade.
It's called Ashley Madison Sex Lies and Scandal.
Play it.
ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley.
Jesus.
On ZM.
You're going to drop a bomb like that and then go on air.
It's the final rankings.
Now, today's final rankings.
This comes to us because of a new report.
So, a system scanned faces from all over the world.
Yep.
In lots of country,
and then used AI to combine them into that country's face.
Yes, yeah, I've seen these.
Oh, my God.
What would New Zealand's face look like?
Do you know what? We were 24th.
Oh! We were 24th.
Not bad. Not ex-Henning screwing
her face up. Just
below Australia. They were 23rd.
Oh, really? They're hard done by because they've got lots of hot people.
Yeah, they do have lots of hot people. Do you want the top
10 on nationalities? Yeah, go.
10, Denmark.
Come on now. 9!
9, Ukraine.
Yep.
You've been?
I mean, they're going through hell at the moment.
Yeah, absolute hell.
Yeah, they're incredibly attractive.
Eight, Italy.
Yes.
Is this why your parents keep going back?
Until they get older.
Yeah, because it's hot.
Because they've got hot neighbours?
Yeah.
Are your parents swingers?
Italians.
Oh, my God. Are my parents swingers? And they haven got hot neighbours? Yeah. Are your parents swingers? I feel like Italians... Oh my God, are my parents swingers?
And they haven't told you?
Well, they're in the Ashley Madison breach.
Seven, France.
Six, Brazil.
Yes.
Here we go.
Say no more.

Who mingers?
The UK AI face looks like, what's that hot guy from?
That's what the UK, that hot guy that was, I know him, he was in the Samuel L. Jackson
Secret Invasion Marvel series, but he's been in other stuff as well.
Yeah, he's that hot guy.
I mean, there's definitely some hot Brits,
but when I think about England as a place, I'm like, no.
Here's the AI face of UK listeners right now
that may be feeling slightly offended by this.
And us all going, ooh, yuck, Mingus.
But the AI UK face isn't a white, buck-toothed, wingnut-eared ginger.
And I will say, these AI faces look like...
It's really taken into account immigration,
which has done wonderful things for the UK's rankings.
Yeah, but the photos don't look like...
They're not human enough.
They're not human-like.
They're not photo-realistic.
No, no, no.
But the AI just put together the average features and then.
Well, hello there.
Well, anyway, that's got us on the final rankings.
So today, the hottest countries to visit.
What do we think would be the hottest nationalities?
I mean, it's hard because you're going, is it reality?
Like you've been somewhere and you've seen lots of hot people there.
Like Brazil.
Like you've been to Brazil and everyone is hot.
Like am I going Ireland?
Because anytime a guy talks to me in an Irish accent,
I'm like,
I'm lost.
I'm gone.
I'm a goner.
You know,
I'm leaving there and I'm running out the door.
You're a goner.
I'm a goner.
Okay.
Well,
I'm gonna need. Okay, well. As in I'm gonna need
to tap that.
Sorry, I was trying
something. Wow. Much like
coffee
and cocaine, all of the
good stuff for me grows between the belts.
You know, the coffee belt.
Between the tropics of K-0.
It's gotta be from in there.
It's gotta be from in there and basically anything in there.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
I don't know.
I'm just like, oh, Australia.
No, I'm kidding.
Australia.
I definitely get it.
You want, like, for me, like, number one's got to have, like, a kiss of brown.
You know, I'm not going to predominantly white.
You're white. Yeah.
Because your fiancé's part Italian, isn't he?
Yeah, he is. Yeah, the Italians
are hot, but
when they age, boy, they do age poorly.
Do you know what I mean?
But everyone ages poorly, don't they?
Think about an old Italian man.
You think of like a kind of big gut.
Yeah. A bit greasy.
That's what I'm expecting.
One day in our 70s, I just wake up and Sade's caught up.
Yeah.
I'm going to look 70 when I'm 50, and then she's going to look, you know, young, young, young, young, young.
And then I wake up next to Wing.
And that's going to be fine by me.
She paid her dues, and now I, you know, I stick around.
There are a lot of hot, beautiful Indian people
and I've always wanted to have an Indian husband
so that I could have an Indian wedding
and wear all the fun clothes.
Okay, so the Indians are your top three.
I'm not going to do it when I'm marrying Aaron.
I can't wear the full sari and all that.
I'm going to go three
and I'm just going to spread my bets around the globe.
Okay.
Sri Lanka three.
We are running out of time, so let's be very quick here.
Sri Lanka three.
Turkey, albeit dry, dry, dry lamb.
Dry lamb.
And then hot woman.
Hot woman.
Sri Lanka, Turkey, and let's go round the globe for a Central American.
I will, having never been there, confirm my senior puppy, Fletcher. Yep. I'm going to rely on you to pick my Central American. I will, having never been there, confirm my senior papi Fletcher.
Yep.
I'm going to rely on you to pick my Central American country.
I think you'd love all of it.
I'm just going to take that whole bit.
You're going to take all of Central and South America.
I'm going to take the whole bit.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then the top bit of South America.
I'll take all of Central and South America and Italy.
Yeah, I'm going.
I'm sure between us we could divvy it up.
I'm going to go, yeah, we'll divvy it up.
You guys can have it.
Like we're sending people out.
Like we're Spanish conquistadors in the 1400s.
We'll take Central and South and just divvy it up.
Okay.
Play ZM's Fletch for the Daily.
Play ZM. Yesterday, youford and Ailey Play ZM
Yesterday, you may have missed this on the show
We were talking about the coolest thing your sibling's done for you
We had a call from someone who said, and they were anonymous
That their sister had gone around and egged their partner's house
When they found out their partner had been cheating on them
After a little dig
We just scratched the surface, a little dig
Yeah
We found out that person had been cheating on our anonymous caller
for five years. They'd been living a double
life. Full, like, not just cheating,
like a full affair,
second life, second family.
With someone around the corner,
five minutes away.
They didn't know.
They didn't know either. They didn't know.
Nobody knew. And you sort of think
like our first thought was like, how?
How don't you know when it's so close?
But she was like, you know.
And we had so many messages after that, and people were just like, I cannot believe that.
We thought, well, we have to go further into this.
We have so many more questions.
If anybody listening has questions, because I know my wife had a thousand questions.
Yeah, fire them in now, 9696, because Anonymous joins us back on the phone this morning.
Good morning, Anonymous.
Good morning.
Thank you for your time in a second day in a row,
but this is a fascinating story that I'm sure...
Have you ever talked to people about this?
Do they have a hundred questions about it?
Oh, they do.
And they're like, you should have a movie.
This is just nuts.
So let's recap.
So you're in a relationship with this guy for five years.
Yeah.
And then what made you think he was cheating?
Well, I think just for a bit of context,
there was quite a big age difference between us.
There's about 12 years difference.
Was he older or younger?
He was older.
Okay.
I was in my early 20s.
Okay, so he's in his mid-30s, yep.
I think as time went on,
I was like, I want to be involved
in your family. And then I started getting all
these really weird
symptoms that he was cheating.
So I looked on his Facebook,
he was very private, and
looked on his Facebook and
who he claimed was his ex-partner
was liking all his family stuff.
So I thought, this is weird.
This is really weird.
Why is she involved in his family when I haven't been?
So when you say his family, did he have kids?
No.
So, like, his parents, his sisters.
Right.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, right.
And you'd not met them or you'd met them in passing or?
No, I hadn't met them, which, yeah.
Because he wouldn't want them to know about you, would he?
That's a red flag after a little while.
No.
So the other girl was obviously involved in his family life,
whereas I was involved in his, oh, how can I dance around this?
His sex life.
Yeah.
His fun life. You were in his fun life. I was, yeah. I know which one I He's successful. Yeah. His fun life.
You were in his fun life.
I was.
I know which one I want to be part of.
Yeah, yeah.
So we were away one weekend together, and I'd sent, I mean,
I just got to the point where I was like, stuff this.
I've invested all this time.
I'm going to message her.
So I messaged her, and I was like, hi, I'm so-and-so.
I'm seeing so-and-so for five years at this point.
I think it was about four years at that point.
Yeah.
And she ignored it.
And behind the scenes, he'd actually told her that I was this crazy psycho person.
Oh, my God.
He's gaslighting her.
Gaslighting to the red flag list.
Oh my God, okay.
Yeah, he'd made out that I was this psycho, like...
Obsessed with her.
Oh, she loves me, she won't leave me alone.
Oh my God, baby reindeer situation.
Yeah.
Yes.
So she was obviously manipulated as well, so she ignored it.
And it wasn't until one of her friends, like, obviously picked up on the red flag and said, you know, you need to follow this up.
So then she messaged me.
I was like, um, I've been with him for seven years.
Oh, you were number two.
Oh, my God.
I was number two, yeah.
And then so did you meet up with her or just keep talking to her?
Yeah, it was such a shock, obviously,
because you haven't been to like all this time.
Oh, you've been devastated.
Yeah, nearly five years, right?
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
It probably doesn't need to be said out loud,
but early 20s, everybody's prime.
You've wasted your prime on this jerk.
Tell me about it.
So much experience wasted.
Yeah.
You've wasted prime steak on some joke that's given you rissoles.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
So you meet up with his partner.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we met up.
Like I said yesterday, put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Was that awkward?
Was that bizarre?
It was pretty weird.
Yeah.
And then did she kind of realise pretty quickly
you weren't this crazy stalker that he'd painted you as?
Yeah, definitely.
Right.
And he'd portrayed her as this boring ex
that wouldn't get out of his life
and it was hard for his family to leave her behind.
Oh, my God.
This is wild.
I can laugh about it now, but Hell's Teeth,
it was a hard time.
Hell's Teeth.
It's been a while since I've heard of Hell's Teeth.
That is the perfect situation to use Hell's Teeth.
You don't need to tell us where and what town,
but he was literally living with this woman five minutes away.
Christchurch. Christchurch.
Christchurch.
So five minutes away, he was living with her all the time?
No.
So he was kind of like, I mean, he was hot and cold, strange fellow,
but that was just how I think we got so sucked in,
because he made it out like he was really busy all the time,
needed his own space, and all three of us had our own houses.
Right.
All three of us.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, a thruple.
Without knowing you were a thruple.
Oh, my God.
What was the confrontation like when you told him, hey, I know this?
Like, what?
Oh, yeah, well, it all unraveled when we were away one weekend.
We were actually up north for something.
Wait, so when this all happened, you were like,
yeah, I'll go away with you for the weekend?
No, no, no.
It unraveled when we were away together.
Yeah, no, that's what I'm saying.
But you didn't know before you went away?
Oh, no, no, no. So, yeah, no, this's what I'm saying. You didn't know before you went away? Oh, no, no, no.
Yeah, no, this all happened
when we were away. And
being the coward that he was, he just
took off. He left me.
He left me there.
He got the first flight out because he couldn't
obviously handle it and
had to go home and do some damage control.
Oh my god.
Do you know what he's up to now?
Oh yeah, well, it doesn't really stop there.
Oh wait!
We've got an epilogue!
Let's go!
Yeah, I mean, I had to take full ownership of this,
but this is embarrassing,
but I ended up staying with him for like a year after that.
Did you?
A naughty moose! A naughty Did you? A naughty moose.
A naughty moose.
A naughty moose.
Why?
People listening will be like, what is wrong with this girl?
But the heart is a strange thing, isn't it?
Oh, and like, you know, I did a lot of learning and self-reflecting.
And, you know, you get trauma bonded and things like that.
So, oh, it was just crazy.
So did the other woman end it and then you hung in there for a year?
Oh, I think she was sort of like, yeah,
there was a bit of back and forth at the start.
What does this mean?
Does he have an exquisite member or something?
It must be an exquisite penis.
Yeah, it must be.
Not even.
What the? It's be an exquisite penis. Yeah, it must be. Not even. What the?
It's not even a bomb D.
Unbelievable.
We all go crazy for a little bomb D.
But it's not even bomb D.
It's not even bomb D.
It's not even bomb D.
Unbelievable.
So you're hanging in there for a year.
How much longer does she hang in there for?
Nah, not long.
She was, yeah, she moved on pretty quick.
She went out.
She was great, yeah.
So tell me, after a year, has he got another one on the side? And that's what, finally, you're like, yeah, she moved on pretty quick. She went out. It was great, yeah. So tell me, after a year,
has he got another one on the side?
And that's what finally you're like,
actually, you're very naughty.
Or like...
Or it just got to the point where I was like,
you know, my friends and family were like,
what the hell are you doing?
Yeah, I'd be disappointed in you if you were my friend
and you were getting up with this.
And my sister had egged his house, you know.
Wait, so the sister
egged at the time
of discovery
and then you stayed
with him for another year?
Yeah.
What did your sister say?
Waste of eggs?
Oh,
it was hard.
She absolutely
hated him to bits.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so,
when you said
it was difficult,
it was just because
you stayed for a year,
but were there
any other people involved?
Probably.
Yeah, wow. Okay, it's just people involved? Probably. Yeah, wow.
Okay, he's just that kind of guy.
Yeah, I got to the end where I was like, what am I doing?
And then, yeah, I ended up meeting someone else.
And, yeah, he's amazing.
Do you have an ear tag?
Do you have an ear tag sewed into his shoe, though, just in case?
Yeah, I put it on him.
Yeah.
Oh, he doesn't get away with anything, I tell you that.
Did you and the other woman
become friends at all?
No, we actually haven't
spoken for quite a few years.
But we were really close.
If she hears this, she'll
know the situation though, won't she?
She'll be 100%. I might even reach
out to her. I think you should.
Or just leave it.
I'd just leave it. Imagine if you found out she's back with him.
Oh, my God.
So what's that guy up to now, this guy that was the dirtbag?
Oh, well, I've heard through the trap that he might be up to the same trap.
Oh, God damn it.
It's almost.
Do you know what?
There's a part of me that wants a fletch.
You're going to say yes or not.
But there's a part of me that thinks we should public service it now.
Well, you know what?
If you're in Christchurch and you're with a guy who's not there half the time
and it's not a bomb D, I'd be asking him a question.
It's not an average D.
In fact, if you're with a guy in Christchurch and it's not a bomb D,
Phil, stop.
I'd say, what are you doing?
Do some sniffing.
Do some investigation.
Yeah.
Wow.
What are some, From your experience
Fletch, please, I'm a professional broadcaster
There's no need to finger me like that
Point your finger at me like that
If somebody suspected
They were in a relationship with this guy
What are some
What are some things
To look for, some signs
That kind of tipped you off
Just the lack of regard for anything on social media.
Yeah.
And, like, you couldn't meet his family for five years.
That is a giant.
Or four years, that was a giant red flag.
I know.
I mean, people will be thinking, like, how stupid could you be?
But he was so good at what he did, and there would always be little excuses.
Like, oh, you'll meet my dad tomorrow,
and then something would happen. And lots of excuses.
Yeah, oh, dad's busy.
Yeah.
Always pulling out of things,
regardless of their warning.
And really spontaneous dates.
Yeah.
Like, really last minute, out of town.
Out of town.
Yeah.
Because that was the thing,
when you went out for dates,
you'd go to the other side of town,
you said yesterday. Oh, yeah. It to the other side of town, you said yesterday.
Oh, yeah.
It would be like Akarawa or somewhere.
They don't even speak English there, do they?
No, it's French.
It's a French colony.
It is a French colony.
Message is in.
Yeah.
Do you have any more questions?
Someone said, this came early in our conversation,
they said, I think you're about two minutes into this conversation,
I've heard half a dozen red flags.
Yeah.
Half a dozen red flags.
Well, like you said, it's difficult, isn't it?
Because you're in and you're...
Similar thing happened to me, another text reads,
less time invested, but I was the other woman
and found out he was in a relationship with someone
that he had said was his sister.
Oh.
I feel like I dated the
Hamilton version of this guy. To be
totally honest, I noticed yesterday when I
talked to Sade, my wife, about this
and we're both from Hamilton. We were like, this is very
Hamilton. But Hamilton is Christchurch
of the North. So
that's what I call it. Yeah.
This
stacks up.
My story's worse than this.
He had another family working night shift while I was pregnant.
And the worst thing is she knew about me, but I didn't know about her.
Oh, my God.
She knew.
Oh, my God. Oh, no.
Isn't that breaking the girl code?
It is breaking girl code.
But it's also, it's not the woman's responsibility.
He stole the dirt bag.
Does his name start with K?
No. Okay. Someone just checking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's still the dirtbag. Does his name start with K? No.
There's someone whose name starts with K.
Someone's just checking.
There's someone who's pulling this.
Who's doing these shenanigans in Christchurch whose name starts with K.
This is really good. I'd love
to know what she thinks his motivation
behind all this was.
Narcissist?
When we break it down, this is narcissist, eh?
This is like... When he told me when it all came out,
he said that he didn't want to hurt anybody.
That's just what he kept saying.
I didn't want to hurt anybody.
I was in too deep.
Couldn't get out of it.
Well, you have.
Yeah.
Four years. Does his name start
with S? Someone says, does his name start
with D? No.
Okay. No, not K, not
S, not D.
I think you should tell,
could you tell us what his name does start with?
J. J!
It's a Jared, isn't it?
The J's are always
somebody messaged in literally just before he said it,
said this has got big J name energy.
J name, okay, well, don't tell us, Anonymous.
Someone said this sounds like my ex-husband.
Does his name start with J?
Does this person been married before?
No.
No, okay.
Man, this is a sad indictment that a lot of people are texting
and are in a similar situation or have been.
There's dirtbags, dirtbags everywhere.
Hey, Anonymous, thank you so
much. Yes, thank you. Because I know
that it's obviously like, you know,
like you say, it's embarrassing. It can be
embarrassing. But thank you so much
for sharing that. Yeah. Of course.
Help anybody else, you know.
Yeah, girl. That's the thing.
If you see those red flags, you've got
to say something and do something about it. Let's give you
our Caller of the Week $50 McCafe voucher as well.
Oh, absolutely.
Thanks to our mates at McCafe.
Well done.
Thank you so much for sharing.
This is the best thing about the relationship.

ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Man, there have been
so many messages in.
I know.
From our anonymous
secret double life caller.
Yeah.
Who was cheated on
for four and a bit,
five years with
a man who had
a whole nother girlfriend.
Yep.
I know my husband's
cheating on me,
this text message says.
I know this is active.
Read the tense on this one currently. I know my husband's cheating on me, this text message says. I know this is active. Read the tense on this one currently. It's an ongoing investigation. I know my husband's
cheating on me as I found makeup on his clothes and lying
about being at work, but he wouldn't admit it and then
just gaslit me. So I
can relate to anonymous. It's just hard to leave.
Yeah, I can imagine it is.
Of course it is. Let your bog down
with admin. Lots of people messaging
in, because we know that this guy in Christchurch
starts with J. Yep. Lots of people messaging in because we know that this guy in Christchurch starts with J.
Yeah.
Lots of people just messaging
in their partner's names
in Christchurch
to check if it's that.
All we can say is
it's not a Jack.
Oh yeah, right.
It starts with J
they're from Christchurch
but it's not Jack.
Okay, that's all
we're going to say on the matter.
That's all we know.
And yeah, obviously

Yeah.
If you're with a J
and he's got a Bomb D
then
I just, I think
going into the weekend
One
Put this

We're collating a
Calendar of horses

With inspirational quotes
Oh yeah
What's your quote?
If it's not a Bond D

Yeah beautiful
I love that

June my birthday
That could be your month
If it's not a Bond D
Set him free.
That's beautiful, actually.
Bomb D is in the eye of the beholder.
What about that one?
I nailed it first time around.
You nailed it first time around.
Don't need to keep going.
It's beautiful.
So much feedback.
And yeah, a lot of people in similar situations.
Yeah, we have been in similar situations.
My sister's going through a similar situation.
I've been trying to help her out. He's married
with 10 kids in total.
But he told my sister he's got an ex and only
three kids. He's 10 of them and currently
married.
There's a lot of dirtbags out there. On both
sides of the gender fence.
Alright, it's time for
Fact of the Day
Day, day, day, day, day.
This week's Fact of the Day theme has been
things named after the people that invented them.
Yes.
And we're finishing on Friday with the invention of John Venn.
The Venn diagram. The V Venn. The Venn diagram.
The Venn diagram.
The Venn diagram.
John Venn invented the Venn diagram.
I love a meme Venn diagram.
Me too, we're the same.
There's three.
Yeah.
And we've each got like
something in common with the one next door,
but some of the binds are three.
I love them.
Same.
I love those things.
It's beautiful.
Beautiful stuff.
I love it.
These beautiful things that we've got, you know.
Yeah. Thank you, Benson Bone. Yeah. It's beautiful. Beautiful stuff. I love it. These beautiful things that we've got, you know. Yeah.
Thank you, Benson.
Benson Bone.
Yeah.
Thanks, Benson.
Cheers, Benson.
Benson's proud.
John Venn, born in 1834 in England.
Yep.
Oh, wow.
Died at age.
He must be so old now.
Well, he died 101 years ago, so he'd be 189 years old today.
Well, if he was still with us.
Old boy.
He's a big old boy. Yep9 years old today. Well, if he was still with us. Old boy. He's a big old boy.
Yeah.
Big old boy.
He comes from a long line of church evangelicals.
Oh, Jar Bless.
Very strict upbringing.
Jar Bless.
But he got into mathematics.
Yep, those ones.
That's the one.
That was the evangelicals that do that, Jar Bless.
That's from them.
I think so.
Yeah, with the Bob Marley flags.
Yeah, Jar Bless. Yeah, that's from them. I think so. Yeah, with the Bob Marley flags. Yeah, Jar Bless.
Yeah, that's evangelicals.
He was an English mathematician.
How do you say it?
They do logic.
Logician?
Sounds like a magician.
Magician.
A logician.
Logician.
And a philosopher,
and he invented Venn diagrams.
Okay.
That doesn't say,
how was it an accident?
Was he just squiggling some lines,
and he's like,
I've got a group of thing here and he kind of accidentally went over the...
He was trying to explain how one thing can simultaneously belong to two,
have two properties.
So he has this property and that property.
And then to say like things that are green and things you can eat.
So you can eat a carrot, but it's not green.
And there's a leaf, but it's not an edible leaf.
Right.
And then in the middle, broccoli.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Things that are green, things you can eat.
Great example.
It was used in logic, set theory, probability, statistics.
Okay.
And he said that's basically how that works.
But his family didn't particularly love how into the maths he was
because the more into the maths he got, the less into the
God he got. Oh, okay. Yeah, right.
But he is commemorated with a
stained glass window
that is a Venn diagram.
What? I mean, he invented
the Venn diagram. At least give him a statue.
The stained glass window is a Venn diagram
though. Yeah, oh, okay.
At Grenville and Caius College in
Cambridge and there's a little, um, you know, England has all those plaques. So much stuff's happened there. It's so old. Yeah, oh, okay. At Grenville and Caius College in Cambridge and there's a little, um,
you know, England has all those plaques.
So much stuff's happened there. It's so old. Yeah.
You just be walking along a street in England and it's like, Jack the Ripper
murdered someone here. And you're like, grim.
But great, there's a little plaque for it. Yeah.
He's got a little plaque in Hull.
Yeah. And it's a Venn diagram.
A window. Yeah.
And one side says, really strong
beard game. And the other circle says's nice. And one side says really strong beard game,
and the other circle says mathematician philosopher,
and in the middle, John Venn, because he was both of those things.
Oh, yeah.
So today's fact of the day is the man that invented the Venn diagram's name was John Venn.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Day Day to say something that would absolutely have ended my career and you switched me on to the broadcast.
Well, you're broadcasting from Wellington.
Your comedy show has started.
Yeah, it has.
Bad news.
Brad was in the audience last night, which was a lot of fun.
Now, did he give you a good review?
Because I would have thought your show would have been,
because it's all about the world of erotica.
I thought that might have been a bit spicy for him.
I think he blushed.
You call him butter chicken Brad?
He's not butter chicken Brad. He's not butter chicken Brad.
He's a bad boy Brad.
He's bad boy Brad.
Yeah, I am.
I'm in Wellington.
And yesterday, you know, because I'm doing radio from here,
I was so tired and I knew that I needed to have a little sleep-de-doo.
Okay.
To recharge.
I've been napping
lately,
every day,
since I got sick.
I've been napping.
Are you valuing it?
Loving it.
Yeah.
Loving it.
My only thing is
when I wake up from the nap,
because I did like
a two and a half hour.
That's a long one.
I really needed to replenish.
Yeah, I felt like rubbish
and then I had to sort of
go to the theatre
and be like,
oof, I slapped myself.
I did that thing,
you know when you wipe yourself out by smacking yourself on the back.
I always neg myself out of bed.
Yeah, okay.
Get out of bed, you fat piece of sh...
Right.
Yeah.
Right, right, right.
Well, I, so I, yesterday after radio, I went for a little bit of a walk around Wellington,
humming and harring about where to get breakfast.
And then I just decided not to.
And then...
Made it sound like an exercise walk, eh?
But just trying to find a cafe.
No, no, no.
It wasn't an exercise walk.
Let me be clear.
I was trying to find food.
And then I sort of just was close to the hotel.
And I was like, I'll just give up.
And I'll just come and lie on the bed.
And then I went for a sleep for a bit.
And it was luxurious.
And I was like, I think I'm going to have a full rot day. Because I was like, I was like I think I'm gonna have a full rot day
because I was like I'll get up and I'll go get some nice um um dumplings from chow okay I'll
go to chow and get some dumplings for lunch yeah and then my alarm went off to get up for lunch and
I was like absolutely not turned it off yeah and went back to sleep for ages and then when I woke
up it was an absurd time to go for lunch it It was like 2.30 so it was like okay
I'll just give up on that.
So I didn't leave the hotel room at all.
I just stayed. I was watching TV and
you know hanging out.
Just hanging out.
And at one point I was like
I think I could doze back off and have another
little sleepy catch up. I'm having a full hotel
rot here. Yeah this is a rot day. I'm having a full hotel rot here.
Yeah, this is a rot day.
I had a rot day.
In a hotel bed.
In a hotel bed.
It was luxurious.
Then as my eyes were sort of like closing and I was like, oh, take me slumber, take me.
I heard the fire alarm go off and I decided to ignore it.
Okay. Okay.
Yeah.
I took the risk because I was like,
well, if I don't get the sleep,
I feel like I could die, you know?
Right, but you could die
and then not be here for your comedy show or life.
The slumber was taking me,
and I'm a poor sleeper.
When the slumber taketh me,
I shall follow.
And so it was like, whoop, whoop.
But it was cut short.
Designed to be impossible to sleep through, by the way.
Yeah.
I know, but it stopped.
Oh, so it was a drill.
Like, it didn't just keep going.
Yep.
And I was like, I could hear all these doors opening.
Yeah.
Because it was like the middle of the afternoon.
I could hear these doors opening and people probably evacuating.
And I was like, doesn't feel afternoon. I could hear these doors opening and people probably evacuating.
And I was like,
it doesn't feel like there's a fire in here.
The hotel room is perfectly designed for a day of rot.
But when you're in a hotel,
you're generally in another city where you're trying to take in as much as you can
if you're on holiday or away for the weekend.
So you don't often just rot in a hotel.
No, exactly.
And I felt guilty at first.
I was like, it's my favourite city in the world.
Like, go out and explore.
I tell you what, I'm looking out the side.
No offence.
You need a favourite,
you'd be a favourite city in the world.
Shut up, Hamilton.
It's dribbly.
It's a dribbly city full of politicians.
No, I am looking out.
Oh, I'm not going to Lambton Quay.
That's dribbly and full of politicians.
But I'm looking out the window.
It's one of those days.
It's one of those days in Wellington.
Oh, gorgeous.
It's a good, beautiful, clear blue sky of those days in Wellington. Oh, gorgeous.
It was a good, beautiful, clear blue sky day.
And I ignored it yesterday.
Right, you could have died.
Well, I didn't though.
I'm here.
Am I not here?
You make a great point.
And I got to sleep.
She was halfway through one of those hangouts she had yesterday afternoon when the alarm went off and she's like, no, no.
It would have been a disaster to go downstairs.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley, silly little poe,
silly little poe.
It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little poe,
silly little poe, silly little poe,
silly little poe, silly little pole. Silly little pole.
Silly little pole.
All right, we're making a big purchase online.
Which device do you use as today's silly little pole?
Because some studies have shown that younger people will make big purchases,
like maybe airfares or... I was going to say airfares, never on a phone.
No, you can sit down and do that on a laptop.
No, they'll do never on a phone. No, you've got to sit down and do that on a laptop. No, do that on their phone.
And whereas older, like millennials and older,
will always want a desktop computer or a laptop.
Yeah.
If you're buying a fridge, I'll buy a top on my phone
or some, you know, small things like a makeup,
but never a fridge or a flight.
I've never done online shopping on my phone.
Oh.
Yes, you have.
I've seen you buy stuff on your phone.
What on my phone? Little knickknacks. You get all those Instagram ads. Yes, you have. I've seen you buy stuff on your phone. What on my phone?
Little knickknacks.
Little knickknacks, yeah.
Yeah, all your knickknacks.
Yeah, you get the Instagram ads.
I like the, what is it, Shop Pay that just links to, it's so good.
Yeah, yeah, I love it.
I love that.
Apple Pay for things on your phone, online shopping's pretty handy.
Yeah.
Although dangerous.
When making a big purchase online, what device do you use?
41% of people said phone, 59%
said laptop or computer.
I, airfares, I would do, like,
regional airfares I've done on my phone, but I would
never do overseas on
a phone. Correct.
I want to see all the details. I want to,
I don't know, it's better. Isabel said, I feel it's more
risky with a phone due to things being on mobile browser
mode rather than desktop mode, and a
laptop screen is bigger, which allows me to check all the deets properly.
Yeah.
Hot play, is he?
Matty says, I feel like I'm more in control when I use my laptop.
Which is fair enough.
Yes, yeah.
Okay.
In control.
Generally, bigger orders require more typing of information.
I find it easier to navigate big purchases using a touchpad and a keyboard.
From Kaylee.
Noobs says, big purchases using a touchpad and a keyboard. From Kaylee. Noobs says,
big purchases require big internet.
Yeah.
Little purchases like clothes require little internet.
Little internet.
Little internet and big internet.
I like that.
Words to live by, Noobs.
CN says,
you missed the option of either.
What's ever closer to me is usually the answer.
Lisa of the grumpy variety.
Too lazy to get up to get the laptop,
so usually I do my shopping online when I go to bed.
We've got a lazy Lisa.
We've got a lazy Lisa.
A lazy, okay.
She's grumpy.
Yeah.
She's lazy, and I watch Salt of the Earth
because she works at aged care.
She's allowed to be lazy after those long days.
After those long days doing the Lord's work.
Mason says,
our phone has got all my deets loaded,
ready to go, and saved.
My last big purchase on
Black Friday was a new 8K television
straight from the phone.
Oh no, I'd want to look
at big pictures on a big screen for
that. I know, see, that would be
I mean, I bought my oven
online
on my phone.
Oh, that's risky.
But I wouldn't buy a TV without seeing it.
I would want to see how thick it was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or thin.
Maybe he'd seen it in store.
Because you love those TVs with the big backs on them.
I love it coming out like four foot.
Last week when we were at your house,
you said,
I want every viewing experience here to be like
you're in a tavern in the 1990s.
Yes.
Watching a Sky Sport rugby game.
Yeah, the bigger and blurrier, the better is what he said.
That's what I said.
Sophie said phone, but only if I can use their dedicated app.
So for flights, it's in a specific app.
Yep.
Otherwise, it'll be laptop for me.
Yeah, good call.
Okay.
Settle a little palm.
We'll catch you back tomorrow with our bottomless brunch.
Have a great weekend.
If you missed any of the show this week, catch up on the podcast.
Okay, if you had to rate, review or marry
Fletch, Vaughn or Hayley,
what one would it be?
Okay, I would marry Hayley.
I would have sex.
Wait, which one is it?
No, no, no, no.
It's only rate, review, marry.
Oh, okay.
No comment.
If I have sex with the podcast, I don't know how that would work.
Give us a sexy little review, though.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
