The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletchvaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning, welcome to the show Fletchvaughan and Hayley. Another year I've missed out on nominations for the New Zealand Music Awards. I know, it's, I'm, you're being ripped off, I know. I try so hard with my singing.

Radio boy, I love your song. I'm just a radio boy Yeah It's more country than that Because I've gone down the country road Sliding up the road Going on the microphone Radio Boy

Thank you So you remember the words It's a great song It's on my gym playlist Like four times So that it keeps looping back But yet Ross Boss Still won't play it on ZM

It's sad We should We should's sad. We should put it in. You know? Dasha Ljubljana. Now we've got to find time to actually make that song. I'm just a radio boy.

I was born in Taranaki. I'm a radio boy. If anybody can do it, it's you. I like that. The'm a radio boy. See, if anybody can do it, it's you. I like that. I like your radio boy. Yep. The top six coming up. Eden Park have a fragrance.

I know. Good marketing gimmick from them. Yeah. So it's the scent of radio. Scent of radio boy. I've got radio. I've got radio boy in my head. It's the scent of Eden Park as a cologne.

Yeah. Or cologne, as some people say. So I've got the top six things that they're actually sort of as comprised of. The scents of Eden Park. Yeah, like the notes. The notes of Eden Park. What are the notes? What are the front notes?

What are the back notes? What are the mid notes? Okay, it's coming up in the top six. Set a little poll soon as well. Polls have shown out of America that a lot of workers prefer a workplace that is pet friendly. And some workers even go getting to the point where they will quit a job

if they can't have their dog or their I'm guessing it's only dogs. No one's bringing their cat to work. Oh my god. If I had a cat that was happy to leave the house, imagine how fun if Raleigh was just in here. Yeah, but some people will quit their jobs if their workplace is not dog friendly.

So we asked today with Scylla Little Pole, do you like when animals are at work? Surely this is 100% yes. Oh my God. For big cute dogs. I literally ask for kittens and puppies every day. All the time. And yet, they're not here. The results are coming up in just a couple of minutes.

We're still in a little poll. Next on the show, though, a dentist has gone viral. For the three times you shouldn't brush your teeth. Shouldn't. Vonna, wait, we didn't mention this in the intro. I was so gutted about my New Zealand Music Award nomination snub. Vaughan is away today but back tomorrow. He's doing some school holiday.

I want to say he's doing some influencer. He's actually influencing. Influencers in the wild. He's influencing in the wild. Yeah, he is. Stay tuned for that content. Yes. I suppose.

But yeah, he's back tomorrow. Now, a dentist Out of the UK Has gone viral on TikTok Millions of views on this TikTok With the three times You shouldn't brush your teeth And I saw this

And I was like Oh okay here we go And I was like Okay that's actually Interesting Because Yeah can you Even think about

I Is it Like there's always a debate Whether you brush Before you eat brekkie or after you eat brekkie. So that is one of them. The most controversial one from this dentist is right after vomiting. Oh, oh my God. It's the first thing you want to do. It's the first thing you'd want to do, right?

Because you've got that awful mouth. It's because of the extremely acidic stomach acids. Yeah. And your mouth is already in an acidic state. And then if you're brushing, and the same goes for the other two, which is after breakfast and after sweets, lollies. Lollies. Chocolate.

Lollies give me that furry feel. So your mouth is in an acidic state. So when you're brushing it, you're basically wearing away the enamel. Makes sense. Can you rinse or you just water? Water rinse after a spooky. Yeah, or could you mouthwash? I don't know. I honestly don't spew. I could spew once

every three or four years. Yeah, I'm not a big spewer. Producer Jared. Hello. What does your mini do? Is she studying something? Yeah yeah she's training or studying to be an oral health therapist but currently works

as a dental assistant yes right and what would she has she told you this yeah so like after dinner when I'm getting into my lollies

yeah that's pudding eh pudding lollies pudding lollies yum best lollies yeah it's good stuff as it gets to like

ten to nine quarter to 9, quarter to 9, she kind of like looks at me like, you better stop munching on those because you're going to brush your teeth soon. Oh. And that's bad, the bad timing. Like she calls it an acid attack. So all the sugary and good stuff on your lollies. That should be the name of our band actually, Jared.

Acid attack. Acid attack. Yeah. Yeah, there's an acid stuff on your lollies. That should be the name of our band, actually, Jared. Acid attack. Acid attack. Yeah. Yeah, there's an acid attack on your teeth, and then so picture it kind of semi-dissolves the enamel on your teeth, and then you're scrubbing it away. We don't want that. So what are you best to just eat the lollies

and just go to bed with a khaki mouth? I think maybe like you need like an hour. I mean, you shouldn't be eating lollies right before you go to bed. You're not going to sleep. Oh, shut up, Dad. Yeah. Dad, yeah. These are pud lollies. I mean, you shouldn't be eating lollies right before you go to bed. You're not going to sleep. Oh, shut up, Dad. Yeah. Dad, yeah. These are pud lollies.

Maybe have the pudding lollies right after dinner, early. And then let it sit for a bit. You've got a few hours. Yeah. But no brushing teeth right after breakfast. Should you brush before then? As soon as you wake up. That's something I haven't got a firm answer for yet.

Because I love my breakfast bowl, but I don't know if I should have my bowl. He's talking about his bricky red bowl. Yeah. Bricky bowl. See, that should definitely be after your toothbrush. Yeah, but then it tastes weird. Yeah, it tastes minty.

You've got a minty red bowl. Either sacrifice my teeth or sacrifice the flavour. I've decided to sacrifice the flavour. Yeah. I wonder if wine works in this way. You know, like, especially wine is quite acidic. Yeah. Shit.

It would be good to know. No, sometimes I'll, like, have wine and brush my teeth and then my teeth hurt. And if I throw up, yeah, I feel the pain. Okay. What? God, that took a jump. I was talking, like, having a glass of wine. You're like, yeah, when I drink wine to. What? God, that took a jump. I was talking like having a glass of wine.

You're like, yeah, when I drink wine to the point of vomiting. No, you mean that. Sorry, there was a full stop. There was a full stop. If I have wine, full stop. Or when I throw up. Yeah, right, right. Because I'm a tummy girl.

Yes, you are a tummy girl. So that's on the reg. Yeah. And yeah, it hurts. And so I've learnt to not. But also, I'm not supposed to use toothpaste. My dentist have told me no. Okay.

Why? Oh, I feel like I've opened a can of worms. It's a whole thing. Yeah, nah, but if you've got certain things wrong with you, you shouldn't use toothpaste. You can use, like... Certain things wrong with you. Now, Shannon has some health issues.

Yeah, if you have ulcers in your mouth, you're not supposed to use toothpaste. Oh, yeah, you do get those, yeah. So it was just never brush your teeth? Is that the message we're giving to our listeners? You never brush your teeth. Be a man to be. Dentists have advised never, ever brush your teeth.

I think just have a gap. From after you eat. From doing anything, yeah. Or brush before breakfast. Today's Silly Little Poll, it's about pets at work. I know. Do you like when animals come into your workplace? Now, right when I started with you guys, we had Vaughan's parents goldies.

They had some golden retrievers. Little puppies come in. So cute. And it was literally so joyful and a happy time. But they did shit and piss everywhere. Yeah, they did. Yes, they did. It was somewhat of a nightmare.

But when I see little puppies walking through, I'm very happy about it, for sure. Well, a study out of America has shown that one in ten have taken the step of leaving their jobs in pursuit of a better life for them and their furry doggo. Yeah. And also other people looking at jobs where there's better benefits for animals, for having the animals maybe at work. Yeah, right.

It's not like huge numbers, but people take it into account. Yeah, it's becoming a priority because I guess leaving your dog at home is hard. Well, some people do doggy daycare and that ends up costing a fortune. Oh my God, it's becoming a priority because I guess leaving your dog at home is hard. Well, some people do doggy daycare and that ends up costing a fortune. Oh my God, it's so expensive. It's so expensive.

Like, people don't think about, you can't just leave your dog at home. No, they're not a cat. That's why you get a cat. That's why you get a cat. That's why you get a cat. Yep.

Okay, we said, do you like when animals come into work? 77% of people said yes. We're loving it. Yep. 23% said no. Here's some feedback.

I love it, asteriskisk when it's a cute one. I don't like those little yappy, bloody chihuahuas. Or, you know, when someone brings in a pet because they're so elderly and decrepit that, like, they can't be left alone and they're like... And they can't breathe anymore. You're like, just... I think that one needs to take a little trip to the vet. Okay, some feedback. Hannah says, I work in childcare

and animals usually mean more work for me and stress that I don't want nor need. Yeah, especially if you've got like 50 kids running around. No, you don't want pets in there as well. Don't they say that in show business? Never work with kids and animals? Yep. Michael says, we need something interesting in our office.

No personalities to be found. All right. I was about to read out Michael's surname. Wow. When I said his name before I read the message. Absolutely. Shots fired from Michael. I know.

Sam says, no, and I'm a vet nurse. Well, then you wouldn't have a job, Sam. You'd get enough cute doggos. Helena says, I'm still trying to get my colleague to bring in her adorable Dushond again. We need an emotional support dog. A little saucy dog. A little saucy dog.

They're so silly with their stupid legs. I had a friend with some growing up, and they're a bit yappy, though. They are yappy. A bit yappy. Like if they shushed a bit more, they'd be quite perfect. Lippy.

They're very lippy. Very. Alex says, Only monsters wouldn quite perfect as a pet. They're very lippy. Very. Alex says, only monsters wouldn't like when a pet came into work. Well, sometimes they poop everywhere. The cute ones, yeah. Or they stink. Yeah, or they're not cute. Steph says, yes, I am begging my colleagues to bring their dogs

and I'm working on them being okay for me to bring my chickens in. Okay, you can't bring chickens to work. Not on the same day as the dogs, of course. No. We need a ZM Leonberger. Just putting that out there. Could be the station. We could steal David's. Yeah. We could steal David Seymour's. Yeah. I reckon

that Leonberger's like, help. Yeah. Take me. Bark twice if you're in distress. Okay. Got ya. I twice if you're in distress. Okay. Oh, oh. Got you. I've got a lovely inner city apartment you can live in. Yep. Lauren says, this actually happened.

The dogs barked and would run around under the desk and left a deposit of fleas as a leaving present. Oh, no. Oh, no. Okay. Well-behaved pets only. Rebecca says, depends on the animal. Cat.

No in capitals exclamation mark well you can't bring cats to work well I don't want to bring Rebecca to work dog only if it's not a slobbery or licky one bird no

I'm with you on that no birds no birds no birds in your house even now she's given a fourth option snake yes only if I get to hold it

is that an American listener? I don't know. Yeah, gross. Lisa said we have dogs come in for the oldies and it's a bit cute. Oh yeah, that's cute. Oh yeah, I love that. The way some who never get visitors, if you have an old person in a home, visit them please.

Otherwise they'll take you out of the well. And there's money to be had. The way that some who never get visitors light up because this wee dog is so excited to see them. It's a bit awesome. Grumpy Lisa. Oh, it's Grumpy Lisa. It's Grumpy Lisa.

Of course it is. She works in aged care. Grumpy Lisa's day off, so I'm off up Mount Grey for a hike with my dog. Have an awesome day, beautiful friends. Well, Lisa, thank you. Lovely to hear from you whether you're grumpy or not. Yeah. That's today's Slea Little Pole.

Play ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Okay, this is quite interesting. I originally thought it was the other way around to what it actually is. Right. There is a woman who has with her partner, who is a man, a legally binding contract

that they have set up. It's actually quite easy to do it, right? Set up a legally binding contract. You just write it up and you both sign it. I think a lawyer has to be involved. Yeah, they've got a lawyer involved. Oh, okay. You made it just sound like you just get on the laptop and you're like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

That sounds about right. No, no, no, no, no. So they've got a lawyer involved. And the contract states that they are only, they're in a long-term relationship, only able to separate during the month of May. After the month of May, when it ticks over to June 1st, they are committed right through till April 30th.

Okay. Why? Because she was like, when you're in a long-term relationship, a lot of your life is kind of dependent on each other, and things like insurances or leases or mortgages or whatever, if you were to break up, all that stuff becomes a bit of a conundrum. Yes. Me and Vaughn talk about this all the time.

You're balls deep in admin. It's hard. It's too hard to break up with someone. Yeah. So they have dedicated the month of May to be their decision-making month, whether or not they want to commit to another year together. Like a long-term lease on their relationship. Yeah, because on June 1st, they sign the lease on their place that they live in,

that they rent. And they're like, by doing that, we sign a one-year lease. Yeah. And if we decide to break up in the month of May, then we don't sign that lease. And that's much easier. And then we can sort our insurances and our contents insurance and all this kind of stuff. Yeah.

I kind of like, yeah, it's just not how life works, though, is it? She said the reason why it works is she said, so for like 11 months, she's American, of course, for 11 months of the year, you're really like secure. That he's not just going to like up and leave you. I was like, oh God. That doesn't sound good. That's some red flags in terms of how you are made to feel secure in a relationship. But

that's it. And they've signed it. And there's clauses. She's like, if you want to do this, you've got to put a clause in if someone does like some mistreatment cheats on you. Yeah. Null and void. But then who's paying the rest of the rent

for the four or five months? Yeah I don't know I mean there's some flaws to the system Yeah yeah. But who has the time to like go to a lawyer? Actually imagine being the lawyer and then this couple coming up to you and be like, we want to create this document and you being like, oh man,

I went to university for six years. To do this. Yeah, to just like work on this. Maybe you should communicate better. But yeah, that's it. They can only break up. Do you know how long they've been together? No, she just says long-term relationship.

I mean, you know, we all know that people that say I'm in a long-term relationship and it's been like two and a half years. It's not long-term. Or they've been together for nine months. You're like, this is my partner. Is it? I think it's your boyfriend, Han.

Don't think that's your partner. I think that might be your boyf. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Well, with Vaughan away, it's fallen upon me again to do the top six.

And today we are addressing the new Eau de Parfum from Eden Park. I think there's two. One's called Number One. Yeah. And the other's called The Garden of Eden. It's two fragrances that have been curated to bring about the essence, I guess, of Eden Park. Yeah, right.

They've described it as a harmonious blend that encapsulates the lush greenery and vibrant atmosphere of our hallowed turf. Anyway, so I've actually got an exclusive whiff of this. Oh, okay. Wow. Yeah. And I've broken down the fragrance into the sort of top six notes.

Okay. Fragrant notes from the Eden Park fragrance. Okay. Okay. Number six, and it sits at the back, this one. It's really at the back of it, at the back of the nose. It's the Barrett Brothers Balls, all sort of mixed in together. Oh, number six, and it sits at the back, this one. It's really at the back of it, at the back of the nose. It's the Barrett Brothers Balls, all sort of mixed in together. Oh, right.

It's very much like a CK1. There's a bit of Bow, there's a bit of Geordie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's really, it's almost on the tongue. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Okay, yeah. You can almost taste it.

Yeah. That's really swirling around in there. Quite a strong note, that one at the back. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six fragrant notes from the Eden Park fragrance. Less of a note, more of a sort of visual texture. It's a little bit of glitter left over. Okay.

From Pink's shoe. Oh, wow. Okay. Really, she wore it. But you can really. It's a bit of grit to it. Yep, okay. And when you actually spray it on, you get a bit of that glitter from Pink.

Right, just like a little dot or so. A little fragrance. A shimmer. It's also a body shimmer. And that's from pink in all of her glittery shoes she had. Number four on the list of the top six notes from the Eden Park fragrance

it's toxic masculinity. That's right in the middle. This is why it's so expensive. It's $170 a bottle. That was right in the middle. And that was gathered, this is why it's so expensive, it's $170 a bottle. Yeah. That was gathered in 1994, which is the last time the All Blacks lost at Eden Park. Wow. So they had that in a vault.

Yep. And they've got that out and they've put that Toxic Masculinity into it and it sits around the middle. Yeah, right. It's really good. But that's right from 1994. Yeah. What's Adam smelling for number three on the list of the top six notes from the Eden Park fragrance? I think that's Helen Clark's disdain

for the concerts they go there and the noise pollution that they cause. Because she lives nearby. Yeah, she does. And in the past, she has been a vocal opponent. Yes. We did speak to her on the show

a couple of weeks ago. I know, she's an angel. And we do love Aunty Helen. But I can smell her disdain. I think she might have had the odd person urinating in her letterbox. Yeah, I think so as well. Because, you know, people that live nearby Eden Park, that happens. People urinate on your gate.

Why, yeah, you walk past and you've got a wee. Now, number two, again adding to the price of this, because this is a very rare ingredient. Number two on the list of the top six notes from the Eden Park fragrance. I think it's Sir Graham Henry's Smile, and it only happened once. That's why it's very rare. Yeah. Very, very rare.

I can smell it. It's joy, and it's not something we usually associate with Sir Graham. But that's what I'm getting at the top there. Hey, see, I related someone with a bitchy resting face. I feel like he's got it. That is one of the most bitchiest resting faces we have ever seen. Yeah. And number one

on the list of the top six notes from the Eden Park fragrance. This is really what makes it so expensive. Yep. The most expensive ingredient in this fragrance. It's a little bit

of the $24 beer that you have to buy there. It's just a dash. Just a drop. But it's enough to really bring up that price. But boy oh boy, it's really making the blend round out. That's probably why the perfume itself is $170. Yeah. Wow, it smells great. Like balls and grass and beer. It's today's top six. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Listen, I am guilty of this.

I am very guilty of like going out to dinner, even if it's a date or with friends or whatever, you go out and you bring out your phone from my handbag, like I'll actively take it from the handbag and I'll place it on the table. Yeah. Right? We do this.

We notice. Shut up. Your phone's out. I do this. All the time. And. Your phone's out. I do this. All the time. And you're like, not even necessarily on it. Yeah. But, you know, it buzzes and you have a little quick look down.

You'll be like, oh, yeah. Just constantly available on your phone. There is a restaurant in Verona in Italy. It's called El Condominio Ristorante Italiano. Oh, good Italian from you. Buongiorno. Si, papi. No, that's Spanish.

That's Spanish. And they were like, we're sick of it. They tried to create this classy, lovely, moody restaurant. And the owner, Angelo Lella. Si, papa. That's Italian for you, Stacey. Si, si. Si, papaipapa.

Yep. The owner, Angelo, he's like, I got so sick of it. So he put together a little scheme. And now, so you get there and you say your booking and you were given the option to hand over your phone and it gets locked in these little drawers and you get given a key. And then you go to your table

and then you show the waiter your key, meaning we don't have our phones on us, you get a free bottle of Italian wine. Okay, that's a pretty good deal. 100% I'd be doing this. You can do this with your friends. You're there with your friends anyway. You're literally with them. Yeah, you're having a good time. And how long are you at a restaurant for?

Like 90 minutes tops, you know, to eat and drink and have a nice time? Now, what about smart watches? you at a restaurant for? Like 90 minutes tops, you know, to eat and drink and have a nice time. Now, what about smart watches? Because I can easily have my phone away, but then just get the little message notifications. I know.

You can read them. You don't need your phone. They actually haven't mentioned that, but I'm sure, oh yeah, I know. Maybe your phone, maybe it's locked in.

Maybe it's like the boxes block out the 5G and so your watch doesn't work. Unless you have a SIM card watch. Or maybe you hand over your watch as well, if that's the case. But you get a full bottle of red wine. He said for the time that you're there, you should be enjoying this beautiful Italian wine.

I always love the story. And I don't know if it's like urban legend or it just feels like too good to be a true story, but apparently it is. It was a restaurant that had old security footage. I remember the story from like the mid 2010s. Yeah. And they had old security footage,

like tapes or like a big old hard drive. And they compared the footage of people ordering food and eating compared to now. And, you know, now their food comes. Everyone takes a photo. Yeah. You know? Everyone's on their phones. And people stay at tables longer, but they're actually not talking to each other or eating food

faster. I know. Me and Morgan, our friend, sexologist Morgan Penn, we went out for lunch the other day and I, there was like a table of sort of like younger people next to us and the meals came out. I'm going to say it. They looked like crap.

They weren't even like Instagram meals. They were just like a couple of sloppy tacos, you know, so to speak. And the first thing all the young people did around the table was take a photo of it. I was like, I thought we only took photos of meals that are like, holy moly. That looks incredible.

Because you'll take a photo of a nice meal. If it's incredible or if it's something that I want to make someone jealous. You did this the other day. You were eating something I really love and you took a photo. You're like, I'm eating this. Yeah, I was eating one of our favorite dishes. And, you know, you just have to. Yeah, you have to.

I have to because I have to rub it in your face. Yeah, that you're eating it and I'm not. But, yeah, I mean, you're on your phone, you're checking your phone constantly. You, me and Vaughn do it sometimes. We'll go out to break it. I mean, to be fair, we've literally been talking to each other for three hours non-stop all morning.

Sometimes we just need just a moment on our phones. We'll literally declare, be like, should we have a little bit of phone time? All right, here we go. Just looking down. Don't talk to me. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Guys, I just got reminded that on this day in 2015 that my phone was broken,

so message me on Facebook. Do you remember doing that? Hey, guys, can't get on my phone, so if you need to get a hold of me, message me here. God, some of my Facebook memories come up. I'm like, I need to delete Facebook. Yeah. Like, this can't be on the internet.

Never problematic, but just like loser. Just like, why were you posting that? No one cares like loser. Just like, why were you posting that? No one cares, loser. Now, there is a teenager and she said, I'm a teenager and I cry over how much I hate my granny name. Okay. And she says she, I don't know where she's from, but she says she's Asian of some kind.

Right. And her name is Sharon. S-H-A-R-O-N. Oh, the O-N. The O-N. Yeah, because, I mean, the Y-N's not quite as bad, but it's a little younger. It's younger.

Yeah. Sharon. Sharon. Sharon. Yeah, and she said it's so embarrassing to have this granny name, Sharon. Yeah. And she says she cries. My parents chose an awful name.

She hates introducing herself. She tries nicknames. Shaz? Shaz. No. You know? No. Almost worse.

She said she gets jealous when she hears other people say their name. Imagine. Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Hayley. Oh, jealous. I'm Sharon. I'm Sharon. I'm Sharon. Sharon. Sharon, S-H-A-R-O-N

is 1,312th in popularity in 2024. So it's really slipped. It would be odd to know of a baby being called Sharon in the last few years. It wouldn't happen, right? Yeah, and she said it doesn't align with her Asian culture. She's like, who names an Asian kid Sharon?

She really... She hates her name. She really hates it. And so it got us thinking, do you have a name that you just hate? Because we didn't get to choose them. I mean, you can change them or you can nickname them. Some people do change them. It's only $160 or something.

Yeah, totally. Or you just go buy something else. Yeah, or a lot of people use their middle name as well because they don't like their first name. Producers, do you hate your names or are we happy? I have been called Sharon a few times when people get Shannon wrong and that doesn't sit well. Yeah. The guy

who stood me up on my first ever date called me Sharon and it really, I was like 15 and it hurt. Still haven't gotten over it. Where is he now though? He does ice skating. How embarrassing. And I'm a matching girl.

You know, how embarrassing. He does ice skating. Yeah. Well, like he just goes there in his spare time. Or like he's a pro ice skater. He's not pro. No, he's not pro. This is a hobby hon.

No, he's an ex for a reason. Right. What about Carwin? Carwin, you I don't know any other Carwins. Yeah, and that's why I love it. I do get Carmen quite often. That's fine. Just flip it upside down. Gerard? Gerard!

Do you like your name? Nowadays I do. You're Gerard though. I'm Gerard. When I was a kid I didn't like it I struggled over the rr I used to be like Jared Yeah, is that a South African accent? Yeah, especially with like the rr

Yeah, but nowadays I like it Yeah But you didn't like it as a kid? Nah, and one of the kids who used to bully me at school was a Jared Was he a nice skater? No Imagine What did they used to bully me at school was a jamrod. Was he a nice skater? No. Imagine.

Aerith. But a lot of those would be older names. You wouldn't be naming, you know, like you don't hear of any babies called Angela now. No, you don't. Angela's and Sharon's, kind of really 80 names, aren't they? Especially, even Hayley. Like, that's really late 80s, early 90s. I know a ton of Hayleys within similar age of me.

Now we've had a text from an Alice saying, I like my name, but I don't love the song. Oh yeah, which everybody would remind you. Do you hate your name? Yeah, because there is a girl who feels that Sharon, her name, is neither a representative of Asian culture or her age.

She's a teenager and she hates it. I don't think people realise sometimes how important it is when you name your kid. It is so important. It's so important. So I just Googled like studies about naming your child. Yeah. So I just Googled like studies about naming your child. Yeah. And businessinsider.com has 15 ways your child's name sets them up for success or failure. Right. And one of the first things it mentions is a study from a university, the Marquette University,

which found evidence to suggest that names that were viewed as the least unique were more likable. People with common names were more likely to be hired. So Jameses. Yes. Julies. You know, just your common, everyday, really popular names, more likely to be hired. And those with rare names were least likely to be hired.

So if you give your kid a rare name and you think it's cool, you're actually disadvantaging them. Wow. Disadvantaging them? I used to work with a minstrel. No, you'd like the Joker for the king. Is that what a minstrel is? Yeah.

The performer for the king? The merry minstrels. The merry minstrels. Yeah. Minstrel? Yeah, minstrel. She went by Minty. Minty! I loved Minty. And then when I remember learning her full name I was like wow that's so unique This list also brings

up uncommon names associated with juvenile delinquency There are It's insane Someone texted saying my kids names are old school Hayley What's her name? Old school

We're getting some texts in from some names I don't... What's her name? Your name is old school. Yeah, your name's old school now. We're getting some texts in from some names I don't even know how to say. Okay, let me try. I'm pretty sure it's Shanika. Hi. Hi, Shanika. I like Shanika. I hate it.

Is it having to spell it all the time? No, I say just no one can pronounce it. Like, we're in Ireland and we're playing rugby over there and I just have to say, like, my name's just Sha no one can pronounce it. Like, we're in Ireland, and we're playing rugby over there, and I just had to say, like, my name's just Shaq, that's it. And they're like, oh, okay, cool, we'll do Shorford. And I was like, don't even go there. Short for Shaq. Short for Shaquille O'Neal.

That's what it is. I love that. Thank you, Shaq. Let's go to Rhys. Rhys, good morning. Hey, how are you going? Good. Why do you hate the name Rhys?

What's wrong with Rhys? I thought that was very popular. It's more the way it was spout. So it spout the Welsh way, R-H-Y-S. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And for whatever reason, when I was younger, people just turned into spuds and couldn't pronounce it.

Like, some people, like, tease me saying it's just because they were drunk at the time, but I'm not sure. Have you asked your parents if they were drunk, Deshina? No. We can only assume. I actually really like the name, but it would just be annoying

having to spell it to people, wouldn't it? It feels, Deshene, like there's a lot of letters in there. Like we could trim some letters. Zoe Deshene. Kind of close. Deshene, thank you. Oh my god, okay. A couple more. A couple more. My last name is super long.

R-E-Z-A See a lot of people Texting in saying They don't like them I think embrace them Some of these names are cool Like Deschanel Yeah

Zoe Deschanel Reza Reza Good old Reza Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey Play ZM Now this is an article It's like Reza. Reza. Good old Reza. Now, this is an article that sounded sarcastic, but I genuinely meant it. It did sound sarcastic.

I really struggle with authenticity. We've had some lulls, haven't we? There's been a couple. Since the pandemic. I feel like there's been some lulls. We've got a new Taylor album soon. Yeah, I feel like we're often like cranking the songs when we're in the breaks.

I love it. Now, this is from a website called girlslife.com. Girlslife.com. And it's an article that I wanted to share. It's called How to Live Your Life Like a 2000s Rom-Com Movie. The best. Sounds unrealistically attainable. It's actually very straightforward.

This is how you get it done. First, what are we wearing? We're going back to the 2000s. Now, I hate to promote the idea of low-rise jeans because I'm like, where's all that going to go? You know, I need a high waist. You can thumb it all in. I feel like even the last time low-rise jeans were a thing,

they weren't around for long. No, I know. I think these will move on swiftly. Because the percentage of people that can pull them off is low. But you gotta like, you know when you see girls and you're like, that's the main character. She's the main character today. And they're dressing like the main character. I'm the main character today.

Did you see my cute outfit? It's preppy. Yeah, I've got a cute outfit today. I've even slung a little crew over my shoulder. I'm wearing a pinstripe shirt and some loafers. It's a cool look. I'm a main character. You're supporting. You're supporting.

You're supporting cast. Am I? Well, you know, get inspired. But you know what? Sometimes supporting cast has a better chance of winning the Oscar because your category is full of like, you know, all the big actors. Meryl Streep. Yeah, you're never going to beat Meryl Streep.

I know. But I could beat, you know, Emma Stone. Oh, no, she's main character now. Yeah, she's main character now. Who's the, I could beat Rebel Wilson. You know? She's supporting. She's supporting. But you gotta dress as if you're the main character. Lots of accessory. You gotta have fun with

your outfit every day. This is if you wanna live your life like a 2000s rom-com. Yeah. Then you've got to do an attitude check. And if you think about the main characters of a rom-com, it's like strong, unapologetic attitude.

We're thinking, what's her face? Clueless. Cher. Yep. From Clueless. Unapologetic. We love it. Then you've got to get a playlist going.

Okay. And they've suggested some playlists for you to listen to while you're walking down the street to make you feel. Here's a few of them. Kiss Me, Sixpence None the Richer. That's in there. Terrible. Terrible song.

So kiss me. Do you ever find yourself listening to music and you're walking down the street and you're just kind of strutting because you're in time to the music? Yeah. And then you think, do I look ridiculous? Yeah, yeah.

It always makes me think that. You can tell by the way I use my walk. That's what I think I'm listening to. Just a Girl by No Doubt. Dancing Queen by ABBA. Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield. That's having a bit of a resurgence. You're So Vain, Carly Simon.

These are the songs. Main character. Then, of course, in a rom-com, you're going to need resurgence. You're so vain, Carly Simon. These are the songs, main character. Then, of course, in a rom-com, you're going to need a lover. You're going to need a love interest. Yep. And you've got to look for that dreamy guy, and you've got to do whatever it takes, whether that be break into a wild dance in the middle of the dance floor,

a la 13 going on 30. And they say, don't be afraid to take risks, as we've seen in every rom-com. Tell that special someone how much they mean to you before it's too late. Yeah, I feel like you're just leading people. This thing, this trend, it's leading people down a track. Life's not a rom-com movie.

You're not going to end up... So kiss me. And some hot boy's going to come in and be like, I love you. It's just not how life works. I'll be like, Hayley, you're already engaged to a man in the real world. No, I'm not. I love you.

But you do feel an affair brewing. That's the plot of my rom-com. Is that a rom-com plot, though? It's not very rom-com. Yeah, it's not very rom-com. No. Deceit. Anyway, live your life like you're the main character of a rom-com.

We've got an excited boy on our hands here with producer Jarrett. He's joined a new Facebook group and we are yet to know what it is. What have you joined? I've joined the Dull Men's Club. The Dull Men's Club! I've seen this pop up on my Facebook page. Yes! It is so good. It's good humour.

The Dull Men's Club. Hang on, I'm looking it up. You're not allowed to look at it. No, actually. You're not a man. As an exciting woman. The Dull Men's Club is very inclusive. Is it?

Yep. I've got a couple posts picked out. One from Janine. Who's a man? No, a female. But identifies as a man. No, stay-at-home mother with a A what?

A ladies bit. A woofoo? A woofoo. She's got a woofoo waypoint. Stay-at-home mom with a So Janine, as an example, she just organised her pantry into those clear containers so all her grains and stuff are all laid out nicely. All the same containers?

Her shoe size is an eight. What is this? That's the funny thing about it is that you have to end your dull men's post with your age and shoe size. And there has to be a banana for scale somewhere. What is this? I've been noticing these posts pop up in the last few months and sometimes I'll be like, what is this?

And then other times I'm like, that quite tickles me. Old mate Daniel just changed the font in his email provider from Calibri to Aptos. And I'll tell you what, Aptos, it's a good looking font. Yeah, it's a good font. I'm just having a little look through this. This is wild. Old mate Matt just refurbed his car headlights

so they're all shiny again. Is it a New Zealand page? Nah, global. Because I've seen a few New Zealanders post in there, so maybe I'm kind of getting the ones from New Zealand. The tailor-made. Yeah, that's what maybe made me think it was New Zealand. A poster, Luke, said,

this is a graph of my barbecue temperature. Good stuff. And the internal temperature of the beef feather blade. And I do remember seeing that one. There's quite a few drops in temp, which you're kind of like, hmm. But they do go right back up. He's having a peek. He's having a look in the barbecue. Yeah, there is a couple of people are really

loving it. Dawn on her walk to work saw a burst fire hydrant. There was a big jet of water coming out. Pretty cool. Pretty cool, Dawn. Bill bought a pack of Adidas socks. Only got lefts. Oh, now I'm on board because you know we love our dams

here at Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Yes. Yes, we do. Rich posted saying some light work reading and it's an old 70s second edition of geotechnical engineering of dams. Oh, that's damn good stuff. That's some damn good stuff actually. It's a dull men's club on Facebook. It's a great page. Yeah, I've found my people.

Maybe I'll join as well because I've just been kind of passively seeing it pop up. Would you call yourself dull men? I think other people would call me a dull man. There are some dull elements to both of you. You know who will love this? And he's not dull, but Vaughan would love this page because he's, you know, he goes home. He's very dull at home. Yeah.

Perfect. This is a perfect page for Vaughan. Yep. Perfect page. Wow, people just sharing how they drink a can of soda. It's good stuff. And then ending with their shoe size. This is so wild.

Yeah, yeah, male 42, size 10. This is so wild compared to like, you guys are part of the dull men's club. Oh, yeah, tell us about Girls After Dark. Oh my goodness. Girls After Dark and the smut hood. Yeah. compared to like you guys are part of the dull men's club and we're part of like girls after dark and the smut hood I've had to you know mute it at work because people can see

our screens in the office and I'll just scroll and there'll be like Shrek doing some stuff and I'll just go to the toilet and I'm like everyone can see that here's the post and obviously I'm not breaking the sisterhood here the top post on Girls After Dark. Let's hear it.

Who's hooked up with an NRL player? Holy moly. Yes, let's read that one. There are 80 comments. Sometimes I want to join Girls After Dark just to hide and look. They won't accept you. I know, because I'm a man. Yeah, I know.

But yet the Dell Men's Club will accept women. Well, I hear your 80 comments. I rebuttal with 222 comments of men sending selfies of them listening to music with the big headphones on. Oh my gosh. I'll take that. That is, yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. There is a new show on Netflix.

It's called Unlocked, a jail experiment. Now, it's currently number four in the Netflix top 10 TV shows. By the way, Baby Reindeer is number one, and everyone is saying how amazing that is. Everyone's talking about it. Everyone's saying you should watch it. Yeah. It's based on a true story.

Yeah. Yeah. So using interviews and unprecedented access, Netflix Unlocked, a jail experiment, chronicles what happens when detainees can come and go from their cells and decide how their unit should operate. Over six weeks and eight episodes,

46 inmates are documented with unprecedented authority in the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. So is it real? This is the thing that people are asking. Is it real? Are these real inmates? And are they just literally allowed to just roam the prison?

Because it's kind of like how prison is in parts of Europe, like Scandinavia, right? Just live a life. Kind of like a uni hall, but you can't leave. It's fun. Let's get drunk and have sex in your single bed. Let me just get rid of that memory. So you've watched a little bit of this, Shannon.

Yeah. So I'm halfway through episode two. So I'm 24 hours into the experiment. It is insane. So basically this prison is maximum security. Most of them are up for capital murder, which means they're waiting to know if they get the death penalty or not. Oh my Lord. So this is some serious criminals and the current situation is 23 hours of

lockdown a day, one hour of recreational time. And the sheriff who runs this, he basically said, you know, these people have 23 hours to stew on all their emotions and then one hour a day it kicks off. Of course it does. And as soon as one fight or argument happens, everyone gets locked back down. So sometimes it's only 10 minutes out and then everyone's back. He looked across Europe and there, what was the word again, Fletch? Recidivist? Recidivist, right? Europe is in the 20s, whereas in America it's in the 50s.

So basically half the people who leave jail are back in within three years. So he's kind of like, let's just shake things up. Gets Netflix involved. It's super high production. There's so many cameras. It's real. And basically how they do it is three days before it, they do a big shakedown, get rid of all the shanks, all the drugs, everything.

Because otherwise it will become a bloodbath. All right. Cough. Have you got a phone up there? Yeah, literally. They do a big sweep and then tell the prisoners, hey, we're going to do this. What do you think?

And so, yeah, I'm 24 hours in and it is insane what happened. Oh, my God, I can't wait to watch this. People have been asking if it's legit or not. And I found a news story. And this has only kind of happened in the last, because it must have only just appeared on Netflix last couple of weeks. Yeah, literally.

A lot of the people in the county, Pulaski County, didn't know that the jail and the sheriff were doing this. Yeah, I think they kept it quite down low. But they don't come and go from the prison. No. No, no, they're still behind the walls of the prison. The fact that you can open up a county prison to a Netflix show.

People are like, hang on a second. Yeah. Like, what are you doing here? Is there an idea that you're making stars out of criminals as well? And that's kind of what happens. Each person kind of shares why they're in there and what happened and what charges they've got. So apparently the Netflix no locks, no offices isn't entirely true

because the guy states that an officer was stationed approximately six to eight feet from two secured doors yes so they're right out there and they're always watching and they make that very clear to the prisoners there's no guards inside but we are watching constantly if it kicks off the whole six weeks experiment is off this is your it's kind of like kids it's like you ruin the fun it's's over. I'll take the fun away. I mean, I get the idea that people would be like, well, you're glamorising criminals.

But I watch those in-jail documentaries all the time. Yeah, same thing. It's kind of the same, but it's just you're watching them do this experiment. Oh, my God, I literally. Do we have to do the final hour or should we just watch this? I'm excited! We want to ask now, this morning, if you've

ever ran up a big bill. Like maybe you didn't know what you were buying or maybe you were ordering drinks or food and you didn't realise how expensive it was. It can happen overseas, eh? Yes, like those restaurants that are like in the tourist areas. I remember going to Hard Rock Cafe in Oslo in Norway and just being like, and this was like a number of years ago

and the dollar was not good to the kroner. It was so bad. Oh, it's an expensive country. So expensive. And afterwards, I think we all went to go look at it and my coach was like, what is that? And her steak was $200. What?

I know. She was like, oh, my God. Imagine, just her steak was $200. You can imagine the bill. Oh, wow. Like 20 girls. Well, this is what I want to ask, because an American tourist and his wife spent three weeks

touring the Swiss Alps in September last year. Lovely part of the world. Lovely. Now, they were, as many other holidays in the past, assuming that their mobile plan covered their roaming, their data roaming. They used 9.4 gigs of data in Europe, which for like three weeks, for a couple of,

they look like, oh yeah, that's a photo of him. I didn't know if it was a stock image of a man in front of a mountain, but it's actually him. I would say, you know, just yeah, that's a photo of him. I didn't know if it was a stock image of a man in front of a mountain, but it's actually him. I would say, you know, just your typical parents' age, maybe boomers. Yeah, 60s? Nine and a half gigs for a couple of boomers isn't too bad, is it? Not bad at all.

Not bad at all. But that bill ended up being, in New Zealand dollars, $240,000. What? I don't know. So they had to get, it's literally got to the point now where it's only just been resolved because lawyers were involved and then it went to the media and then the company wiped What do you mean, quarter of a million dollars? I don't know.

Bizarre. Like, I remember once being roaming overseas. When I first went to Europe, I was like 21. Yeah. And you send the odd text. Yeah. And, you know, whatever. And then you would like $300. Yeah, you'd get the bill at the end was like 21. Yeah. And you send the odd text. Yeah. And, you know, whatever. And then you would like $300.

Yeah, you'd get the bill at the end of the day. Yeah, I know. But now, nowadays, like you would get a SIM at the airport when you land. Or, and this is absolutely non-spawn, there are a couple of apps. Aerolo is my favourite one. So it's an eSIM, right? So your phone has to be eSIM compatible, but most new phones since the last like four or five years are.

Yeah. So you check that it's compatible. And then as soon as you land, you're on the data. You just go on the app, yeah. And it's a little, maybe a little more expensive than some countries if you find a SIM. Oh yeah, I think it comes just under quarter of a million dollars though. Like, yeah, exactly.

I think Australia, it's probably better to get a SIM or an eSIM when you get over there at the airport. Like the eSIM apps. But like Europe and America, it's like easier and cheaper. It's so good. Oh my God. Imagine coming home to that bill.

I just roaming, I just turn my phone off as soon as I get on the plane and going away. Oh, you have to. Like don't even risk that. Yeah. Otherwise, the network you're on, it's like whatever, they text you like, hi, welcome to and you're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Turn off, turn off, turn off. But it doesn't need to be a phone bill. Like, I mean, water bills, power bills and flats. I remember our first summer with a big flat of six people. Oh, yeah. Like, it was like $700. $700 a year, we had one of those. And everyone was just like, I don't have that money. But they were like, but we do like to be really cold

in this hot, humid summer. Yeah. God, it's hot. Okay, maybe turn the air con off when you're at work. Yeah. Yeah. So 0800-DARLS. If you want to take your calls now, you can text through 9696. When did you rack up a huge bill? What, do you want to just show your coat?

Your influencer code? Oh my God. No, because some people were asking the app that I was saying is really good for eSIMs all over the world when you're travelling.

Nonspon. Air Alo. Like air that you breathe. AIR, ALO. Yeah. And then I was like, and then someone, Carl was saying,

I'll message him back and tell them. And I was like, well, give them my code because then I get a referral a couple of dollars. US. Oh my God US from the next decent. Is it Fletch 20 or something?

No, it's a special code. God, how embarrassing for you. We want to know when you racked up a big bill because there was a guy that went overseas, went roaming, and it was quarter of a million dollars. Yeah. I don't think we're going to quite get a bill that big. No. But some people have got some

shocking bills. Danny, what was the bill that got racked up? Parking tickets. Oh, Danny, did you live in ignorant bliss and think they'd just go away? Yeah. Yeah. You sort of think, like, who's going to come chasing this, right? It's 20 bucks or it's 40 bucks.

100%, but no, they get you. So how many tickets did you get? What did it start out as and what did it get to? It started as like just your standard $40 ticket. I think the most expensive one I had was $200. Oh. It was no REG and no WAF as well. Yeah, I've done that.

I was going to say loading zone. I had no REG, no WAF and a parking ticket and it was $440. It was $200, no REG, $200. Needless to say, zone. I had no ridge, no wharf, and a parking ticket, and it was $440. It was $200, no ridge, $200. Needless to say, I've definitely learnt my lesson. So how high did it get? I think at the end of it, it was like $1,780. Oh, my God. What, because you'd left it months and months and months?

Yeah, and I just kept accumulating more tickets stupidly. So what was it? Was it the threat of court, or what was it that got you? That was actually a threat of a bailiff. Yeah, it's terrifying when the letters start to have a red header on them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Men with baseball bats are going to come around to your house and just take stuff. Take TV. Yeah. So, no, I'm crystal clear now. That's good. Good for you.

You've really turned around. Good on, Dani. Round of applause for turning your life. You've really turned around. Good on, Dani. Round of applause for turning your life around from a life of crime. Yeah, that was. It's criminal activity, actually. It's criminal activity there. Yeah. To being, you know, a Laura buying citizen.

We appreciate it. Marie, when did you run up a big bill? Hi. We moved into a new house in summer. And then as it got colder in winter, we thought, oh, we'll turn on the underfloor heating. It was really exciting. Oh, yeah, warm toes. Toasty toes, right?

And then the sour bowl was an extra $400 that month. Oh, $400. Just for like warm, just wear socks, you know, wear slippers. No, I know, but why? No, we ended up going out and buying new slippers and, yeah, much cheaper. And so now you just don't even use the underfloor heating? We were there 20 years, we never turned it back on.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Not even on a really cold day, but let's treat ourselves. Oh, new Ugg boots were way cheaper. Oh, my God. That just sums up New Zealand houses, eh? Like, no. Yeah.

Too expensive, let's just be no. Yeah. Too expensive. Let's just be cold. Let's just freeze. Let's just buy new slippers. Yeah, exactly. Marie, thank you. Some messages in. A lot of people with the data, racking up the data, loved our daughter's $1,600 Spark bill on her three weeks on her three week year 12 classics

trip. Believe me, it was not contacting us. She's ringing the boyfriend Believe me, it was not contacting us. She's ringing the boyfriend. Yeah, or Snapchatting. Yeah. My dad had $6,000 in unpaid traffic fines and had to go to court for it. He got 200 hours community service. No. Oh, no, don't do that.

That's a lot of weekends. Yeah. My first power bill in Dunedin, cold, was eight times higher than usual for me. Turns out the first bill was an estimate based on our neighbour's usage. Right. I hate, because I've got one of those smart meters now. Yeah. So it's every time it's perfect.

Yeah. Not me, but when I lived in Canada, we came home from a night out at a mate's place around 1am. Fun night. Yeah. One of the girls hopped in the shower drunk and the rest of us crashed and fell asleep on the couch. This is a small studio, keep in mind. Come 7 to 8am, the whole studio is filled with steam.

She'd been showering for six hours. Was it gas? Was it gas? Probably racked up hundreds of dollars in hot water and shower. Oh my God, because it would have been gas, continuous heating. Six hours in the shower. Don't do that. You'd be all wrinkly.

You'd get up and be like, blah. Four of us went out for sushi in Melbourne. The menu had no prices on it. What? That's when you know. No, if a menu has no prices. We thought it was weird, but we carried on. At the end of the night, the bill was $750.

No. Just about ran out back and started cleaning the dishes. I got a speeding ticket in a rental car in Australia. Saw it go off, didn't think much of it. I wasn't even going that fast, only a few kilometres over. $515. Whoa!

Because if you get a ticket with a rental car, they add a fee, right? Because all their admin, you know, their $100 of slaving away paying that fine for hours and hours. Someone else has been in Oslo, Norway. I got a haircut and a beard trim. What's that?

I'm going to say beard trim. I'm guessing a man. What would you normally do for a haircut and a beard trim? 80 bucks? Yeah. 60 bucks or something? They talked me into buying a beard shampoo and conditioner. $1,600 New Zealand

dollars total. Oh! Mind you, I looked good. Yeah, it is a seriously expensive place. I was there maybe, what, four or five years ago. I just got a pizza and I think a Coke and it was like $50. I think it's the most expensive place I've ever been to.

Yeah, it's more expensive than Switzerland. I wouldn't recommend it based on that. My friend's children wrapped up $1,800 worth of their credit card for Google Play Store to buy games. $1,800. See, you would have got a hiding for that in the 90s. You would have been smacked. Play.

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Vaughn Alan Smith is away. So we have been handed down the fact via the art of email. It says, hello, Fletch and Hayley. No hello for the producers. Unbelievable. I wouldn't do that.

Apologies, I can't be there today, but the show must go on. Facts must be factored. It's 50th anniversary week and yesterday we celebrated Bailey's turning 50. Yes. I didn't even get a, I didn't have a Bailey's last night. A celebratory Bailey's.

I had to get a bottle. Today we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of modern liposuction. Oh. Yuck. 50 years. This is basically what?

Where they suck the fat out of you. Yeah, and they go, I've seen it on TV. They go with that skinny rod. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's really aggressive. I actually don't know anyone who, well, maybe I do. Well, that's the thing.

I feel like, yeah. A lot of people might not say. Might not say. Like, even now, people really don't, they're not forthcoming about their, like, if they get a band or, like, OZM pick overseas. People are like, I'm not telling anyone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, the practice of sucking fat out of all the wrong places was invented by the French

in the 1920s, or not getting it then. It was far from perfect. It led to more than a few patients bleeding out. Skinny corpses though, says Vaughan. In the 1970s, Italian-American father-son cosmetic surgeons Arpad and Giorgio Fischer invented a blunt hollow surgical instrument called a cannula or cannula, cannula, that allowed them to vacuum out deposits of fat

from between the blood vessels without puncturing them. They also popularised the criss-cross suction pattern that others hadn't done before and apparently reduced the bruising. Their instrument and their technique remains in the practice today, although subsequent cosmetic surgeons added a saline solution being

pumped into the incision to loosen fat and also reduce bleeding and later a local anaesthetic called lidocaine in the 90s. And in the 90s, ultrasound to liquefy fat made it easy to remove. One of the inventors is even on Instagram, says Vaughn. Is he?

At liposuction underscore georgiofissia. I'm going to see what he looks like. Georgiofissia. Liposuction. Now, Vaughan does say at the end, thank you. And we thank him for the fact. And he says, no one on this show needs liposuction. You're all beautiful and I love you.

And the reason that I'm away is that I'm actually getting liposuction. Oh, my God, here he is. The guy that... Oh, God, he's an old mate. I suppose he would be, wouldn't he? Of course he is. He was invented 50 years ago. Imagine going in for some lipo

and that old codger's there with his blood rot. I don't know if he... Oh, no, he still does it. Oh, no. Giorgio. He's doing a face... He's doing a face... You can get it in your face?

Oh, no. Okay. Can you get it from some areas and move it to other areas? What, like you can do your dumper? Take it from your tum and put it in your bum. I don't know. Or take it from your tum and put it in your bum. I don't know. Or take it from your tum and put it up top, you know?

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Well, today's fact of the day is that the modern liposuction was created by a guy who's still on Instagram. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM Okay So last night I got home quite late Because it's seven days I filmed seven days last night It's on tonight

Yeah TV3 At what time? 7.30 7.30 Yeah Did you say funny things? I did I was just saying a swear word

Did they beep that? I said a swear word so bad That it won't even be on the show So don't even worry Yeah yeah yeah I was talking about Leon Burgers and then Swearword came out and it was just for the room.

Yeah. No, it was such a fun episode, but you get home quite late, had a little glass of wine afterwards, got home late, maybe on 9.30-ish because my motorway closes at 10 at the moment. Right.

They're working on the Western, so got home at 9.30, 10-ish. Brushed my teeth, makeup off, you know, got my stuff ready for the morning. Aaron was lying on his Shakti as he, you know. He's got a Shakti mat. Dude, it's his favourite thing

in the world. He's been on it for like five or six years. He loves it. Like, there is not a day that goes by that that man's not on Shakti. Right. I know, he loves Shakti. Big Shakti. Like, there is not a day that goes by that Batman's not on Shakti. Right. I know, he loves Shakti. Big Shakti. Well, he's got a bad back and Shakti gives him some relief. Does it actually do anything though? Yeah, for sure. Does it? Oh wow.

It doesn't fix it. You can't, you know, sort of fix a spine with it, but it helps with pain. Yeah, right. Anyway, so he's on Shakti and Tell him I got one, but I didn't like it because it hurt too much Well that's the point but he's a big tough man And you're a little bee

I am a little bitch So I got in and I was like I'll chuck on a t-shirt And I always like to wear like a big Comfy pair of undies to bed Like granny knickers So I went in and I got a pink pair And look they were in a bit of a state, but I was like,

you know, they're clean. Do you pull them right up so they're right under your boots? Yeah, they're high. They're high. High waisted. Yeah, anyway. Nana knickers. I sort of came in and he wanted me to rub some anti-flam on his back because it's a

bit twisted at the moment. Oh, but that'll get on the sharkty mat. I know, but imagine because you're perforating the skin with the sharkty and then you're rubbing flam in. It's beautiful. And I sort of went, yeah, yeah. And I sort of like jumped onto the bed to mount the man to rub

on his back. And he sort of caught me. He was like, what the hell are they? And I was like, what? And he was like, look down. And I looked down and the fabric at the crotch had come apart from the elastic at the crotch had come apart from the elastic at the leg and so my

mound, my mons pubis Thank you for that visual image. Was peeping out of the undies and I just looked down and was like, ha ha no big deal, we've been together for 13 years. It's like, Hayley those undies are disgusting.

Wow. I was like, don't be ridiculous. I said, oh, they're fine. There was holes everywhere. And I was like, you know, turn over so I can rub you back. He said, no, you've got to go. I was like, what are you doing? He's like, get out of the bed.

I was like, are you kidding me? He said, take them off, not in a hot way. Get those off and put them straight in the bin. I was like, no, I can wear them to sleep tonight. I'll just put them, I'll put them in the bin tomorrow.

I wasn't, I washed them. They're very comfy. More breathability now. you didn't throw them out. Yeah, I had to get off the bed. I was made to.

Yeah. Take off my undies, tottle through the kitchen now, bum out. Yeah. They're straight in the bin and I had to go find a fresh pair of undies without holes in them. Without holes. Yeah. And I was sort of like

oh yeah. And then I went back in the room, gave him a back rub, went to sleep. I woke up this morning and what did I put in the bin? It was like a vitamin packet or something. I opened it up and I was like hehehe. That's manky. You know it's bad when a man, especially Aaron,

who wouldn't really care about fashion or what you're wearing. Couldn't give a toss. You know it's bad when he's calling you out for holy undies. And this man has a wide array of undies. Some I swear to God he had when we first started dating 30 years ago. I swear to God. There's one pair that I'm like, used to be red and now it's a sort of stained pink. Whitey pink. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Whitey pink. But yeah, I was. Apparently my undies were so offensive, they went straight into the bin. So what are you out to buy some more? No, I've got some more. I think it could be time for an overhaul. Need to get rid of some. I really wear my way through a pair of undies, you know.

She lives hard. She lives fast. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. It came up again yesterday because our silly little poll was, what do you drink out of at home? And a lot of people, it is still their drink bottle. Drink bottle. Yeah.

And then people were texting in being like, well, it used to be a drink bottle until Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley scaremongered me because we talked about the fact that straws, traditional straws are causing lip wrinkles like durry smokers. Yeah, so it's not... Because you're going pursing. It's not the constant, yeah, ciggies. It's the constant

just drinking what you would think would be a healthy activity. Your Stanley cups and whatnot. Your vessels with straws. Then these keep popping up and we've got to talk about the anti-wrinkle straws. I've seen them online so much and they look so ridiculous. So silly, you'd look like such an idiot. But they're shaped like a seven.

So like straw goes up, it sweeps around, then sweeps across. And so the top of the straw is flat, horizontal. To your mouth. Yeah. And then at the top is an opening. I would say that's like a two, not a seven. Flat, horizontal. To your mouth. Yeah, and then at the top is an opening. I would say that's like a two, not a seven.

Does it go straight down like a seven? A seven has a straight end. No, a seven has an angle down. A two has flat and horizontal at the bottom, you idiot. Oh, yeah, that's right. What, that's going to go in the glass? I thought it went like that. What's in your head, rocks? It's like a novelty straw.

You know the ones that go whee, whee, whee. I love those. But the flat's top, that's the important bit. And it has sort of a wider opening. And I would say like a flute, like a flautist. Oh yeah, okay. You know how they kind of, at the top, a wider opening. It's like that.

And so you would just place your lip on it. Like if this is my finger, that's the top. Like that. And so would it be like an inch long, the gap? Nah. Where the water comes out or it's a lot smaller? It's smaller than that, but you still have to suck, but your lips aren't as O-shaped.

Yeah, but you're still sucking, so the lips are still, see like look at your lips, they're still pursing. Are they? Or are they just constantly pursed? Like do a straw. Look, I used to smoke the durries. Like do a straw

and then do a, yeah, see, I'd say your lips are still pursing. Well, it's definitely flawed, but I feel like

we were, Karwin's keen on getting some. Do you reckon we should get some for the studio? Shannon, you want to keep your lips lovely and plump? Yeah, I reckon let's go girls.

Let's get this. Why don't you just get a drink bottle with a hole at the top of it like everyone else? Why don't you just let us have some fun? Yeah.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Why don't you just shut up? Well, I'm, today I'm drinking out of an open protein shaker. Yeah.

Tell you what, it still tastes like pineapple. It's disgusting. But are they pursing? No. No, I'm going, big wide mouth. Like opening the gullet. Do you think I could use it for my McCafe coffee? Oh, good from you.

Good from you. Good. Seamless mention of the show sponsor there. But takeaway coffee cups, they do have those little holes. Yeah. So you've got to. holes. You've really got to purse. No, but you're pouring it in. You don't have to suck. Do you suck it out?

Yeah. No, you pour it. Oh, my God, wait. Wait, it just pours out, doesn't it? No, she's sucking on the hole. I'm still kind of going, you know, like the mouth is still going in. It's a mild suck. You need some vacuum. It's like low setting suction

for a coffee cup. I know that setting. It's been drinking a coffee. Guys, everyone be really careful, okay? Do you, with the little hole in a takeaway coffee cup, you just open your gullet?

No, you don't. You wrap your little lips. Look, you're pursing. Yeah, but it's less suction than a straw. Light purse. It's a light purse. It's a purse light. It's a purse light.

I mean, you can order these straws, but A, you're going to look ridiculous, and B, I don't think they're going to do anything. And C, I don't care what you think, boy. Oh, I just realised I did the whole show with my headphones on backwards, so. Well, that means the show's backwards then, isn't it? We're going to have to play this in reverse.

Well, should we speak in reverse and hopefully they'll work out the other way. Give us a review. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
