The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Enjoy a refreshing McCafe iced coffee available only from Macca's. Great things are brewing. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. It's two minutes past six. God, I'm a mess this morning. You're putting your makeup on.

Yeah, I just thought, do you know what? Upon reflection of last year, I made such little effort. And I love to put on a show for my boys. So I decided this year I'm sort of going to, oh, far out. I nearly just swore first thing. My powder's gone everywhere. Sorry, I'll just scoop it up off the table. You have an absolute mirror of a day.

I am having a mirror already. Can only get better. We're off to the gym after this. Don't have any shoes, so. I think she's trying to get out of our gym class. I'm not. I'm motivation. I completely forgot to grab my gym bag today. That's a sign I should go have a nap.

Oh, same. So I guess we're going. I just walked right past her. She's going to the gym at a different time of the day yesterday. That's a weird. I saw that on my wrist. You see different people. I saw that on my wrist. I went different people. I saw that on my wrist. I was like, oh.

Yeah, in the afternoon, that's not usually my gym time. I'm proud of you for going home and then going back out to the gym. That's unlikely for me. I am very unlikely to leave again once I get home. Well, very soon, actually, we're going to talk about a form of exercise I did yesterday. I went for a walk, but it was a bit of a

cluster, to be honest. We've got a bit of an exercise hour because the top six is coming up and apparently Netflix has a new workout section. Oh, do they? Yeah. Or like Apple Fitness or something

where you have your videos of your yoga and your workouts. Yeah, remember during lockdown when TVNZ did it with like Les Mills and you'd go home and you'd put on your track pants and you'd sit on the couch and eat chocolate in the morning and watch it, I'd be like, they're not doing those squats, right?

Yeah. Fat lads. Yeah. That's a terrible technique. She's hot, wonder if she'd be able to burn to a bit of mouth to lockdown hands. Oh, my God. Silly little poll as well on the way.

Who takes longer in the shower, you or your partner? Yeah. There was a bit of controversy yesterday when, was it Watercare in Auckland? It was the day before. They put up a thing saying, hey ladies and then kind of targeted women as having really hot, quite long showers.

Yeah, but we've got a myriad of things to achieve in there. No, the problem was more that it was labelling all women as water wasters and power wasters. Yeah, because I was saying the majority of your power bill, if it's not on gas. God forbid someone should have

a bit of a bloody laugh. You can't say anything these days. Peace he got me. Didn't they come out yesterday and say, just lighten up? No, no, they didn't. Watercare extended an olive branch and said, we misspoke. After Auckland City Councillor and friend of the show,

Richard Hills, jumped down their throat. Oh, okay. Yeah, good. He jumped down their throat. Yeah, right. Even though, you know, it stacks up in my house, there's three women and they all take long showers. All I'm saying.

All you're saying. That's all I'm saying. You've done your own research. But I'm also not using Watercare's water. Okay, you're using. I pluck it straight from Mother Earth herself. Yeah, right. So you're taking all of our resource.

So you're pillaging from Mother Earth. Yes. Great. All right. We'll deal with this soon. On behalf of a woman everywhere. Our poll results...

So I'm an ally. ...soon in Silly Little Poll. Next on the show... Shannon, our beloved Shannon, has come up with a way to prevent her car being stolen. Play.

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. We've got a big announcement coming up after the news at 8 o'clock, being stolen. We've got a big announcement coming up after the news at 8 o'clock so make sure you're listening. It's not one of those announcements where we're like we've got a big announcement and then it's like

oh you can um we've got um We've got a 5% off coupon. Do you have a 5% off coupon? Do you actually? Do you want a 5% off coupon? Well hang on, get in line. What's a 5% off? What do you want it for you want a 5% off coupon? Well, hang on. Get in line.

What's it for? What do you want it for? What are we discounting? What do you want it for? Like Chemist Warehouse or something like that. Oh, yeah. Do you know what I mean? I want a 5% off at the 20% off store because now I'm 25% off.

That's a quarter. By default. That's a quarter percent off store. See, I know that because of my NCA, I done good. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Unlike the other kids that done bad recently. A lot of people done bad.

They done bad. Real done bad this year, done bad. They done real bad. Done real bad. Okay, so producer Shannon has stumbled across some research about cars and cars getting stolen. And Shannon, this aligns with your own vehicle. Yeah, I'm very happy with these statistics.

Yeah, this is good. Carwin, who's away today, she's had her car stolen. It was used in a ram raid like two years ago. Embarrassing doing a ram raid in an aqua. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, but they use those because they're slim. They can fit through the doors. They can fit through the doors, that's why.

The Swifties and that kind of stuff. And you've had a lot of friends with cars stolen. Yeah, I used to live in a Vondalay like these guys. Beautiful. Yeah, and we had three cars stolen in the year I lived there. That feels on brand. All my flatmates. Given my experience of my neighbours where I lived.

One of my flatmates, the car was stolen by a bunch of 13-year-olds and the other one, they stole the car, drove it around the block, realised the brakes didn't work and then just parked it stole the battery and left oh wow well you gotta get something out of it for your hard work exactly but no my car has never been stolen and it's a little v-dub golf so it's perfect for a ram raid as well no because even kids look at that and they're like that's gonna cost a fortune to get repaired i feel like you're trying to sell us yeah well no so I've never had it stolen. Then I stumbled across on TikTok

the statistics. Sorry, your research is from TikTok? Yeah, of course it is. Let's give her a break. Your car is 80% more likely to not be stolen if you have bumper stickers and then every bumper sticker you have adds an extra 3%.

I'm rocking about 15 bumper stickers. She's safe. Oh, wow. Okay. I'm invincible. Do you have a ZM bumper sticker? We did those a little bit, didn't we? I've got ZM.

I've got iHeartRadio. Oh, she's a company girl. I've got, like, when I lived in Dunedin, I had a Dunedin one. I've just kind of collected them over the years. Okay, wait, do you have opposition radio station stickers? Of course not. I didn't work at the opposition. I imagine she's walking around with bloody The Sound. She loves a classic rock.

Only ones I've worked at and stuff like that. What else do you have? Like any funny ones? I had bumper stickers on my first vehicle. That was a 1992 Mitsubishi Mirage. Also would be good for a ram rate very slim line

to your yeah okay yeah and I had do you remember the gothy brands Misery yes

and what was the other one Alyssa and I had they did bumper stickers like the tattoos like traditional tattoo style and I had a few of those are they still around

I was very well in town I have an adventure to go Karangahake karangahake. Karangahake or karangahape? Hape. You're thinking of karangahake as the gorge. There's a gorge and a street. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Hape is Auckland Street where Alyssa was. Both get a little bit sloppy during a flood. Oh, God, they get sloppy. A couple of sloppy hakes and hapes. It's a hape and a hake. Yeah, I had bumper stickers. And that car never got stolen.

The radio got stolen, but it didn't lock. Yeah, right. So when I woke up and saw it was stolen, I was like stickers and that car never got stolen. The radio got stolen, but it didn't lock. Yeah, right. So when I woke up and saw it was stolen, I was like, good for you. Obviously, the reason why is if you steal a red whatever car and it doesn't have a bumper sticker on it, it just blends into all the red other cars. But if you've got bumper stickers, it sticks out. It's individual.

But if you're stealing it, you're peeling the stickers off, aren't you? Oh, no, these are baked on. Yeah, you cannot peel them. Oh, yeah, yeah, they've had a long bake, a slow cook. There's a few you can't tell what they are. Even with Dissolve It? Yeah, no, these are baked on. Yeah, you can't peel them. Oh, yeah, yeah, they've had a long bake, a slow cook. There's a few you can't tell what they are. Even with Dissolve It? Yeah, no, they're stuck. Wow.

Which is definitely not good for resale. You're not on your knees on the street, like, using Dissolve It, scratching off a bumper sticker for half an hour. You don't know what I do on the street. Speaking of Kuranga, half an hour. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We're all doing, we're all kickstarting the year with a bit of a return to the JTH. The journey to health. The jime.

The journey to hotness. The journey to... And yesterday, one of my things is I'm walking every day. I've got to walk, right? Yeah. Because if I can't get to the gym, I've got to at least go for a walk. And yesterday I had a nail appointment after. We had a big meeting yesterday.

Big, serious meeting. Oh, good things are coming for Fletch, Fallen Haley this year. Let me tell you that from that meeting. And I went out to Browns Bay. I've never spent a lot of time in Browns Bay in Auckland. North Shore. This is on the North Shore. Beach. Okay, there's a beach. Yep, for those that don't know. Yeah, and I went out there becauses Bay. I've never spent a lot of time in Browns Bay in Auckland. North Shore. This is on the North Shore. Beach.

Okay, there's a beach. Beachy. Yep, for those that don't know. Yeah, and I went out there because it's the new- Sort of a mini- Is that mini-Joburg? Yeah, that's what some would say. Yeah, producer Jared's nodding.

Is that Browns Bay is where it starts. Is that right? It kind of spreads across. Spreads. The South African spreads across from Browns Bay out. And I went there and I got my nails done, just went for a simple black. Yeah, nice. You went all the way

there. Well, it's not actually that far from my house, because it's an Albania, you know what I mean? It's like, you could take the back roads and it's kind of fun. And she's moved and I like her, so I went with her. Anyway, so I went out to the end and I said, I said, are we close to the beach? She was like, yeah, it's literally just across the road. And I was like, oh. It's lovely, it's quite lovely. Yeah, and I said, I've never discovered the beach? She was like, yeah, it's literally just across the road.

And I was like, oh. It's lovely. It's quite lovely. And I said, I've never discovered this. And I was like, I need to go for a walk today. I'll do it while I'm here and have a lovely vista for my walk. But I was wearing what I was wearing at work. And, you know, it was my Doc Martin sandals. It wasn't that great.

So I was like, oh, have a look what I've got in the car. And I had my gym shoes in the car, so I slipped those on. But I didn't have any gym gear. And I went in my boot where there are a couple of bags, because I've cleaned my car, as you know. It doesn't sound like it. No, no, no. There's just a couple of bags that need to go to the cellies

that will stay there for 12 months. Well, you've got to age them, don't you? Yeah, you've got to get them nice and crisp. Do you think a Salvation Army smells the way it smells because people drop it off immediately? No, fresh from the washing machine? Get a grip? Absolutely not.

Are you going to thumb it into one of those recycle bins? I can't find them because that's my preference because I hate going in. I've got them everywhere. There's a couple down there. I know where there's some. And there's some in the New World car park. See ya. Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, there you go. Because I prefer that than them being like,

what if you can't? I'm like, I've got what you'll take. You go through it and chuck out the rest of it. Yeah. So I went through there and I found some old gym shorts and a little top and I was like, that'll do.

Wait, you were going to throw these clothes away but now you're wearing them. Yeah, because they don't fit. These are like tiny little like three years ago

Sproul gym clothes and so I was like, you know what? I was going to put them on and I got changed in the car. Yeah. I pulled up on the street and I got changed, whipped my top off, three cars went by, you know, congratulate I was going to put them on. And I got changed in the car. I pulled up on the street and I got changed,

whipped my top off. Three cars went by. You know, congratulate. There you go. That was for free. And I shoved these clothes on. And I tell you what, they were so small. They were like the tiniest little things.

The top was like riding up on my boobs because these are new. Not new. They're not implants, but I grew them new. And that was like riding up. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Yeah. The key was eating.

Does that work for the... Nah, I've tried. No. I've just got titties as well. Your other sex organs, it doesn't work. It doesn't work. It doesn't flow through. No.

Right, okay. Just a question. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're right to ask. Yeah, I put these little shorts on. They were a size small. And that's not what's happening anymore. And I was like,

I just have to get this walk done. And it's a beautiful sunny day, that beach looks gorgeous, so I shoved them on and started walking caught my reflection in the mirror, I absolutely looked like, you know when you bake a sausage? Did you prick it or did it pop? I needed to give myself a prick because I popped, do you know what I mean?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I was like spewing forth from all angles, the top, the boobs, the everything. And I was like, who cares? And it's school holidays and the beach and there was like sort of adjacent park was like laden with children. And I sort of was like head high,

be an example for these young women, Hayley. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That you know your body doesn't have to be perfect. You deserve a hot girl walk anyway. So this little sausage was like tottling down Browns Bay Beach. It's the summer of the sausage. It's the summer of the sausage. It's the summer of the sausage.

I have some funny tan lines as well because of all the sort of fat bits spewing out of these tiny little shorts. And then I walked for nine minutes and then I found a small Japanese restaurant I parked up for 45 minutes.

Had some sake and some sashimi and then walked back to the car. Yeah, okay. So you got sidetracked by a restaurant. I was like, I am hungry, actually. So in my sausage casing. You've been on such a big walk. I think you've got the walk and the restaurant time around the back backwards.

Yeah, so not really. I parked, I sausage cased myself. I sausage myself for nine minutes, got to the sashimi restaurant. I was like, I've always wanted to try this place. I've heard of it. Went in there for 45 minutes and I was like, well, I'm not not going to have aimi restaurant. I was like, I've always wanted to try this place. I've heard of it. Went in there for 45 minutes and I was like, well, I'm not not going to have a sake.

So I had a sake and some sashimi and then I hot girl sausage walked myself back to my car. Fitness. Hashtag fitspo. I dig it. Hashtag everybody is a beach body.

20 past six, next on the show, the top six. Yeah. Netflix has got a little Exercise section Speaking of which I could do a little sausage Workout

You could do it at the Japanese restaurant On your phone Netflix or Netflix See what you did there? What? Have a new section where... I was with you and then that last bit really threw me. Nah, don't do that.

I'm going to turn your mic off if you do that. It's disgusting. That's ASMR, isn't it? No, that's... I've got a workout section now on Netflix. So like live little classes and stuff? Yeah, live little bits and pieces. That's not a bad idea.

Some yoga. I mean, if you're watching, you're already there. It might be like, oh, I'll watch. And that would be super cheap for them to make too. Yeah, totally it would. 100%. Film a yoga workout. Yeah.

Or like YouTubers that already make all that fitness content. Sure, you could pay them a small fee and then put it on there. Do you know what I workout. Yeah. Or, you know, the YouTubers that already make all that fitness content, sure, you could pay them a small fee and then put it on there. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. They make more money from Netflix than YouTube. So it would be like your yoga videos and your little in-house cardio. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Classes, I guess.

Have you ever used Apple Fitness? Have you ever had that free when you've got an iPhone? Yeah, I did it once. No. That's lame. And it's just like videos of core workouts.'ve got an iPhone? Yeah, I did it once. No. That's lame. And it's just like videos of like core workouts. Oh, is it? Yeah.

I wonder what it was. I got the Les Mills. I paid for the Les Mills at home thing, I think for maybe a year or so. And then they did it for TVNZ. They uploaded some of their classes during COVID to keep you moving. Yeah. Les Mills does it on Air New Zealand flights, the international ones,

to stop your deep vein thrombosis. You can't be doing that. It's not a joke. You know I've had that. I know you have had that and I'm not joking about your thrombosis.

But they do that on Air New Zealand long haul flights. That's that instrument, I know that. You slide it out. Yeah, thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis.

But they've got little things, little exercises you can do. Just for you moving your legs. Moving your legs. You couldn't run a full bloody grunt, grit or pump, could you, down the aisle? Doing a little head grit class. On NZ1 to LA.

No. I've got the top six Netflix-themed workouts. Okay. Number six on the list, the Wednesday Addams Dance class. Of course, she did the famous dance. Oh, yeah, of course. People just love doing a bit of dance for cardio, don't they? Because they're having fun. It's fun and it's good for the famous dance. Oh, yeah, of course. And people just love doing a bit of dance for cardio, don't they? Because they're having fun.

It's fun and it's good for the mental health. It's fun. I'm remembering a little routine and then later I can do a TikTok with my cubs. Number five on the list of the top six Netflix workouts, the Stranger Things sprint classes. Those kids are always running from somebody. Oh, yeah. Demogorgon.

Oh, yeah, on their little bikes. Yeah, well, you could do the bike class as well. Yeah. Yeah, running, sprinting, just basically moving at a rapid pace away from a hellspawn. Hard to do a sprint class or a cycle class on a BMX. Only one gear. Only one gear.

You really got to work it up those hills. You wouldn't be able to turn down the resistance and pretend you were going hard. No, that's for sure. You would be running up that hill. Yeah. Oh, there she is. That was quite good, eh?

That was quite good, eh? That was quite good, eh? Yeah. Do you think I should do that with my next comedy show? Do a joke and then be like, that was quite good, eh? What did you think? Engage the audience straight away, immediate feedback. Yeah, out of 10. Number four on the list of the top six Netflix workouts,

the Squid Game Everything. Everything I was watching, that was quite... Yeah, and they made the reality show. Have you watched that yet? no super good here's a weird thing before Christmas

we were at my parents for a couple of nights before Christmas and my sister's kids were with her her ex and so my sister was there and my kids were like

oh we've always wanted to watch this I wasn't in the room and they turned on the real Squid Games Squid Game the Challenge and my mum and my sister freaked out

that my kids were about to watch this. Oh. They freaked out. And then August was like, okay, fine, we'll watch some more Stranger Things and flick that on. And my mum freaked out.

Yeah. What are you letting your children watch these awful shows for? They must be getting nightmares. A bit like when she didn't let you listen to Marilyn Manson. Yeah. Well, she wouldn't let you go to the big day out

when he was there, would she? No. Oh, my God. Singing the Devil's Song. Oh, yeah. Well, we all know he had a couple of ribs removed. He did. I saw that my God. Singing the devil's song. Oh yeah. Well, we all know he had a couple of ribs removed. He did.

I saw that meme too. How good. He could be better at yoga. Our generation's finest accomplishment was spreading the rumour through every teenage person without the internet

that Marilyn Manson had two ribs removed for one specific purpose. Yeah. We didn't have the internet when we told everybody that. No, I remember thinking that and I was a fan of hers for years.

Yeah. And you thought it was legit, eh? Yeah, not anymore though. I just want that heard on record. You're not a years. Yeah. And you thought it was legit, eh? Yeah, not anymore though. I just want that heard on record. You're not a fan of his anymore. I just want that on record. Or you don't believe the rib story anymore.

Nah. Number three on the list of the top six Netflix workouts, the Queer Eye Pelvic Thrusts. Oh, yeah, beautiful. I don't want to dwell on that one for too long. I don't know if you can say that.

Yeah, I didn't think I could so I don't want to dwell on it for too long. We're moving along. Number two on the list of the top six Netflix workouts, the Bridgerton whatever they did for cardio back in the day.

Did it horse riding? Oh, it would have been horse riding. Oh, it was a bit of lingus as well. Moving on. Moving on. Thank you, pardon. I've never watched that. Haven't you? There is one scene in particular. But I was watching it, so I've got the most popular Netflix

English TV shows. Yeah. Because Squid Game and Money Heist, they're like really right up there, but they're foreign language. Yeah. Yeah, there's also like a lot of Indian TV that is always the top of the chart. So Wednesday's the most watched show ever. Yeah.

252 million people have watched that for a total of 1.7 billion hours. Wow. Stranger Things 4, Dharma Season 3, Bridgerton is in at four and Bridgerton Season 2 is in at eight. So next time you tell me you're not horny,

I won't believe you. Yeah, 100%. You've watched a lot of horny content and number one on the list of the top six Netflix workouts is The Witcher

and just whatever Henry Cavill's doing. Oh my God. Daddy, daddy, daddy, yes. That's your hip thrust as well. He's out now though. He's done with The Witcher. I whatever Henry Cavill's doing. Oh my God. Daddy, daddy, daddy, yes. That's your hip thrust as well. He's out now though. He's done with The Witcher. I think when he's gay

I was like, that's exciting. Do you know what I mean? Kind of like, a little bit exciting. We need to go back to number three if we're going to

take on that monster and that's today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vordernaley. Play ZM. So I read an article yesterday about Lindsay Lohan Who I want to say she's pulled it back together Good for her And she's a mama now I mean it's kind of out there in the news

But she's got a cameo in The Mean Girls She's got a cameo in The Mean Girls The new remake I guess And it was reported that she made half a million US dollars for her cameo and then they were comparing that to that she made a million dollars to do the first

Mean Girls film in which she's the lead and they were like, so for this little cameo if you break it down, she's had a good payday for this. Anyway, I was watching the trailer for the new Mean Girls and I was like, why are we doing this? Because Mean Girls still holds up. It went Mean Girls 2004 with Rachel McAdams and Lindsay Lohan.

Then that became a Broadway musical? Yes. And then that musical has become the movie. Has become the movie. Wasn't there a TV show in there somewhere? Don't know. I've made that up. I think you've made that up. I might write it.

It's a 2004 film somewhere? Don't know. I've made that up. I think you've made that up. I might write it. It's a 2004 film and it's a 2024 film. Yeah. So there you go. So it was a film, non-musical, then it became a musical. 20 years later. Yeah. Between them. That's crazy. No, that's not possible because I'm 20. So this came out when I was born. Yeah. Almost for Shannon actually. Oh my god! Yeah. So Shannon, you're 24? Yes. Oh my god. Yeah. Yes, I was like five when it came out. Same. So you went yesterday to the cinema, the

Chinima. Yes. When did you first watch Mean Girls? When you were a teenager? Oh, probably like, yeah, intermediate, maybe starting college. Then it was already an old film at that point. It was a classic. It was a classic. And there was a sequel, but the sequel sucked. Was there? That's what I'm talking about.

There was a sequel. And it was about the new ones and it was horrible. Because at the end of the first one, they show the new generation of plastics. And then that's right, that's what I'm thinking about. And it was crap. It was like Grease 2 and everyone was like, what are you doing? It wasn't written by Tina Fey.

And it wasn't written by Tina Fey. So Tina Fey has written the new one and it's the musical. Yes. And it's set in like 2024, 2023. So it's got all these new references. And I watched the trailer and I was like, oh, it's like TikTok and like all that kind of stuff. Because you'd say that the stars are Gen...

Gen Z. Like we, Gen Z stands Renee Rapp. She's our god at the moment. Everyone thinks she's the hottest woman in the world. And she's Regina George. Yes, because she played Regina on Broadway. So it's quite a big deal. Yeah, okay, okay, okay.

They got the real Regina. They plucked her from the theatre. So you went last night. Yes. Was this a New Zealand premiere? Yes, yeah, it was. There was popcorn. Popcorn.

And you, because some people have been going along and then being upset because they're finding out it's a musical version. Yeah, they just think it's the original one. Yeah. No, we had a great audience. It was a packed cinema and everyone was, like, loving it. There was lots of, like, you know when everyone gets

behind the movie and it makes it more fun? Totally. But I like loving it. There was lots of like, you know when everyone gets behind the movie and it makes it more fun. But I absolutely loved it. And I was kind of nervous, like you said about the TikTok thing, because I find it quite cringe. And you know when they put like, when the screen goes into phone mode and there's like half the cinema's black

and then there's like in the middle of the portrait. So there was a bit of that, but it was very enjoyable and I laughed a lot. Like I very much recommend it and I won't give spoilers. You've got to have faith in Tina Fey, right? Oh, she's brilliant. She's a genius. And because it looked cringe to me because I'm an old hag now

apparently just realising that this came out when you were five. Four. But you enjoyed it and you've got to go like Tina Fey's a great writer. Of But you enjoyed it. And you've got to go, like, Tina Fey's a great writer. Of course you enjoyed it. Of course it's funny.

And, like, I won't give any spoilers, of course, but there's lots of great little, like, nods to the first film. Oh, so it's not the same story as the first film? It's the same story, but there's different things happening. Because there's, like, Aaron Samuels, there's Katie, there's Regina George. Okay. Like, they're the same characters.

Yeah. And, like, they say the iconic lines. Like, you still get Glenn Coco and things like that. Do they say that's fetch? Yes. But then there's lots of other little things as well, and there's cute moments where, like, this has never happened before.

I actually once it happened in history, but this is the second time. Like, they do cute things like that, acknowledging it's a remake. Okay. Do you know what? I feel like this is the kind of movie that I'm going to watch when it comes out on TV. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah. I'm not sure I'm going to go to the... Because I still haven't seen Aquaman. I think that's also one for me to watch privately at home. Do you know what I mean? Watch that one privately. Watch that just on my own. Curtains closed. Just door shut.

Aaron's away. That door wedge that's supposed to keep the door open is keeping it closed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little pole.

Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole. Who takes longer in the shower?

We just said before why we're doing this. This is Silly Little Pole. Water care. Said ladies. And immediately everyone was like... That's the noise women make. You'd say in your house it's Sade. I take quite long showers.

I take hotter showers too. Massive long showers. Yeah, because so does Aaron. And Aaron's got more hair than me. Shit, like Sade will get in afterwards and be like... Yeah. And I'll be like, welcome to the pools of hell. It depends because I have multiple different

kinds of showers. A shower to clean the bod and go to bed, or a shower to like remove all traces of hair and anything. What about a shower to sit on the floor and just have a little cry? That's got to be pretty hot. I like to cry just out and about. You know, I just openly cry. I don't save it for the shower.

I save other things for the shower. You like to mask your tears with the water. Yeah. Yeah. So, Little Paul, who takes longer in the shower? Me or my partner? 60% of people said me.

Oh, okay. It's nice that we're self-aware. 40% of people said my partner. I will just say we've got more female skew voting. Yeah, we do. I wasn't going to say it. I wasn't going to say it. I wasn't going to say it.

He said it. Keto replied saying, I need like five minutes. He takes at least 15 and he's not even washing his hair or shaving. He just literally stands there. Yeah, it is nice to stand

in the shower. I don't have long showers. Nah. I'm in and out. Yeah. That's why you're manky and dirty, probably cleaning yourself.

You've got a kind of film on you. Yeah, thick film. I have hair and my partner is bald. You've got a kind of film on you. Yeah, a thick film. I have hair and my partner is bald. Also, I'm a woman so there is all the shaving and shit that my husband

doesn't have to do. Yeah. Does that not make sense? Get it lasered off, hon. Lottie says, it's not just a shower, it's with the music on, make it a concert,

make it a whole thing. Oh, yeah, I love having the music on in the shower. Yeah, it's good, eh? I need a good 10 minutes at least to melt all the skin off my bones before even getting to the cleaning parts, says Tegan. Too hot.

She's running a hot shower. Amanda says, because I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant, I have to amp myself up to attempt to shave my legs, which takes twice as long and is always a half-assed job. So she's taking a longer shower. Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah, you'd have to bend over, wouldn't you? Yeah, and it's hot.

So maybe you'd like a nice cool shower at your 38 weeks. Yeah. And you deserve it. I'm in and out, says Shay. No effing about. He'll stand under the water for what feels like eternity. Especially while I'm waiting for him to get out so we can go out. Oh, he's a faffer.

Oh, I hate that. He's a faffer. Aaron's a bit of a faffer. He's just chilling. Let him be, let him be. Me, says Joel, a male, but I have cold showers. My wife thinks I'm crazy. I'll have long, cold showers.

I go hot to cold. I get colder as I go. Really? Yeah, I go like mild to boiling and then get right back down to cold. Start off and then end cold, especially in this humid weather. Love a little cold last summer. Yeah, in summer. Give yourself a little cool rinse off.

Sarah says, he's a weirdo who never sings, whereas I'll have an entire concert. Yeah, beautiful. Yeah, good. She's concierting in there. Bridget, wash pits, wash bits, shave bits, exfoliate bits, wash face, wash body, rinse, etc. There's heaps to do in the shower hall. Yeah, there is. We used to call it a face fanny feet.

If you need a quick shower, what's important? Face fanny feet. Right. Gotta go out. Quick face fanny feet. If you need a quick shower, what's important? Face fanny feet. Right. Got to go out. Quick face fanny feet. Does the fanny extend back to the bottom? Yeah, yeah. The whole fanny means fanny in the British sense and fanny in the American sense and fanny in the New Zealand sense.

Both. The front and the back fanny. Yeah, both fannies. That's the one. Back fanny. She was out on her fanny. Ah, there you go. Silly little poem.

Silly little poem. Very silly and very little today. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. If you are unaware, Love Island All Stars has begun. Now, I know you two don't love Ireland, but I do. I don't love Love Island. You don't love it? I don't love Ireland.

I didn't love Love Island. I didn't think I wanted to love Love Island until I started love Love Island. You don't love it? I don't love Island. I didn't love Love Island. I didn't think I wanted to love Love Island until I started watching Love Island. You may remember, this may be coming up two years ago, I was like, I'm going to start watching Love Island. And then I watched the wrong season. I wasn't watching the current one. Do you remember that? And everyone was like, oh, my God, isn't it crazy what's happening with Stacey?

And I was like, I don't think she's arrived in the villa yet. And then I was like, I'm getting pretty close to the damn end. But you were addicted to the wrong season. Anyway, I watched the season before and I got addicted to it. So then I watched the next one and then I watched last year's one and now there's an All Stars. And it's people who didn't find love or who found love but then, you know, it didn't work out outside of the villa.

Shock. So some of these contestants would have been on Love Island, what, when it first came out? There are two, I believe, from season one. Right. Which to me, considering there's been ten seasons, is embarrassing. Yeah, because

I'm not casting judgement, you know, but I'm casting some judgement because, and also let's bring Jared into the chat I'm not casting judgment, you know, but I'm casting some judgment. And also, let's bring Jared into the chat because producer Jared, I didn't realize, this was almost two years ago, I didn't realize that Jared watched Love Island. And do you remember, I sent a link to you, Jared, because I didn't want a spoiler.

And I said, Jared, can you read this for me? And he didn't know why and he read it and he was like thanks for the spoiler and I was like what you're watching Love Island the midi always drags me back into it and you were so gutted with me that I spoiled it for you and now I know you're a Love Island boy he says it's the midi but let me show you the chat

here's the chat this pops up Jared Pickstock messaged you and I know it's just directly to me because it comes up with his full name and not his funny group chat name. Are you watching Love Island, he says. I said, yes. I've only watched one though, like being like, don't you spoil it because there's two eps out. He said, we're watching it one at

the moment. I said, can I say this? I think so. How big are those round titties? Now, I'm not saying that as a perv. There is the woman from season one who is back. Is this the sausage cheekbones? Sausage cheekbones.

Sausage lips. Are you watching this too, Shannon? Of course Shannon's watching it. Of course Anne Carlin is too. Anne Carlin's watching it. Yeah, okay. But she has breast implants that you could never even go, are they real?

They are circular like basketballs, right? Under stretched skin. Well, like actual basketball size. And like too high up for health. Oh, strangling it. She's 33, she's had a kid and she's like, yeah, and they're too high, they're funny. I said, how big are those round titties?

And Jared said, all in caps, that's why I'm messaging you. I said, ha ha, he said, what the hell is going on? And then I said, what about caps, that's why I'm messaging you. I said, ha ha. He said, what the hell is going on? And then I said, what about the sausage cheekbones? There's two sizzlers under there. Because she's got these cheek injections. She's got fillers. Right.

And the cheekbones are insane. I mean, I know we're tearing apart this woman, but it's hilarious. He says, it's insane. I said, she's got to go. And he said, the sheer number. She simply must go. He said, the sheer number of lip flips has turned her mouth inside out.

And I said, yes, they aren't lips anymore. They're actually gums. And then Jared says, Chris is a good lad, though. He is a good lad. He's a good lad. He's a cheeky fella. He was in the Barbie movie. Yeah. He was in the Barbie movie. The chat goes on and he's such an ex-beast. He says, oh, you know, I'm along for the ride.

Once cast for a more in the movie night finish. Everyone who watches Love Island knows what that's all about. Anyway, we talked about it and I was like, I forget that Jared loves Oh my God! You see her? Oh sweet God! Get a profile shot of her as well. A couple of basketballs and a couple

of sizzle sausages. Anyway, and so I was loving this and I was like, great. Jared is my guy. What are those eyelashes made out of? Horse mane or horse tail or something. It's very long. You're mink.

So I said that Jared's in this chat with me and then Shannon said this morning, he'd already jumped into her and Carwin's chat, the producer's chat, to have a very similar conversation. Yeah, the Mean Girls movie ended and I see a message from JP and I was like, yes, I've watched about this. Anyway, I think now because

it's on in the UK and I think we're a day behind it's on TVNZ On Demand if you want to watch it, TVNZ Plus. Jared is in for the long ride with all of us and I'll say, I said it to him, I'll say it to you. Check out Dem Around. 13 past 7 next on the show. We're going to dive back ride with all of us and I'll say, I said it to him, I'll say it to you. Check out Dem around for this.

13 past 7 next on the show. We're going to dive back into the world of love languages. We've put a lot of importance in the past. What is it? Time spent together. There are five. Time spent together, acts of service, hand stuff. I think that's one of the love languages. We're going to talk about the importance of

love languages and whether or not they align with your partner. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. But for now, we dive into the world of love languages, which we've talked about before, to remind you of what they are. Quality time, physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service and gift giving. There are five. Okay.

Gifts. Yep. There's five. I always find the gift one is the weird one do i think i get the idea of giving gifts yes give your giving language i've got a question about these we've talked about these heaps is your inward inbound love language the same as your outbound like if you're a gift i still don't really understand it either but you don't like receiving gifts i think the way that so the guy who came up with them, his name is

Gary Chapman. He wrote the book on this, right? Right. When he describes your love language, he says you have a dominant preference. An example of that is like you enjoy physical touch, but feel especially connected when your partner expresses appreciation. Your love language is words of

affirmation. So I wonder if it's your love language is how you like to receive love. Yes. I believe. Right? But then, yeah, how you like to give it, how you show love, I don't know. Yeah. I'm not a psychologist. Okay, but it's those people that want to receive gifts. Yeah, I know. I get the idea. I like buying gifts for people.

Yeah. And when I give people things, it makes me show them that I love them. But you're being like, my love language is receiving money. Isn't that just being a sugar baby? I like vouchers. My love language is gift cards.

So they did a recent study that looked at whether or not your love languages need to be aligned. Like if you if your love language, like mine, is physical touch and words of affirmation, I don't know which one

I like the most. Which would be my goal. Yeah, you're kind of a bit of both, aren't you? Yeah, I really need both. You could multi-class. Can you be a bi love language? I'm a bi love language.

Yeah, can you be a bi love language? I'm bi when it comes to the languages. Yeah. So I don't know if I need to like be in a relationship with someone that's also physical touch and words of affirmation.

Well, you definitely need to be with someone who's physical touch. Definitely. They need to be touchy-touchy. Well, but you see it sometimes where people are like the other person who doesn't give the physical touch, they need to move a bit. You know, they've got to like do that. Or like with Aaron, I have to beg him for words of affirmation.

You know, I don't beg him for them, but I request them. What is your fiance Aaron's love language? Acts of service. Okay. Yeah.

Like doing things for me. Like building me a home. But does he like you doing things for him? No, his would be quality time. He wants to receive quality time.

All he wants for me is generally to be in his vicinity. Literally, if I did that, he would be a happy man. He likes physical touch. We're very physical and whatnot, but words of affirmation, absolutely not. Like you two, he's just like, cut it. Stop it. Stop it. So they did this study to see

because they've done studies before that look like people with aligned love languages report higher sexual satisfaction and higher relationship satisfaction, right? Because you're going like we're both giving each other the thing that we need because we both need and want the same thing. However, they concluded that aligned love languages has utterly nothing to do with longevity. Okay. So longevity comes not from giving and receiving love languages. It comes from other things like, you know,

digging your heels in and being like, well, we're too financially bound. We're stuck together. That's what gives longevity. Right, okay. So even though you might be like happier or easier to be with that person, it actually probably isn't worth that much concern. They look at people that were the same love language as in both gift givers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or both words of affirmation or... Yeah, so they looked at like, I think it was like a hundred couples, heterosexual I will say. Yeah. That's not a male, I would have chucked a couple of gays in there.

Yeah. They had a hundred heterosexual couples and they all found their love languages and they watched all of them. So it was a mixture of people who were aligned and people who were malaligned. Misaligned?

Misaligned. But if you're both rocking, touching, who's giving the tickles? It's give and receive. Yeah. 10 minutes on,

10 minutes off. Could you imagine the person that goes first always gets more tickles? Yeah. Yeah. Because once they've got them, the second person wraps it up, they're like, it's like the massage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. The second person doing goes first always gets more tickles? Yeah. Because once they've got them, the second person

rips it up. They're like, it's like the massage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. The second person doing the massage is like,

I'm done now. A couple of pokes. A couple of shoulder props. Because they've already had their massage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But could you imagine

two gift givers being together? They'd be in fights about money all the time. Yeah, they would be. It'd be horrible. You'd be fighting, but you're fighting,

but you also want to receive a gift. See, that to me feels like an aligned love language couple that simply wouldn't work. It's difficult out there. I mean, it's hard enough to find a partner, isn't it? Rather than worrying about your love language.

Could I have some words of affirmation while we're on the topic? Your hair looks so gross. I was going to say pink hair looks nice. Well, it can't be the same. I'm going to need a different one from each of you. Who wants to have pink hair looks nice? I said it first. Okay, Fletcher, I'll receive that from you.

Lock that in. Thank you so much. Do you want one in return? No, it's okay. Okay. Well, you did already give me one today about my lovely legs. Oh, my God. I've got to post this picture.

Actually, you don't need to give me one. It's lovely long legs. My mum's worried you're looking too thin. She's about to give my feet off. My mum said yesterday. Did she? She bought some cream buns From Costco

She said take one of these To fetch God damn it Boy's looking thin Where is my cream bun Because you know I'd eat that You absolutely would not

Is it mock cream Because if it's mock cream No no no It's like a drizzle Oh okay I'm going to do a little Gift to our listeners You can head on my social media

And look at these Lovely lady legs Because he was posing This morning with his Little feet out And I was like, how elegant. Like a dancer. She doesn't have to give my feet away

for free on Instagram. Yeah, like a dancer. Maybe put a little icon over them and say if you want, we should start a Patreon. Oh, we should make some money out of this actually. Nah, it's Patreon.

It's classy. Oh, yeah. We're classy. It's classy. 723, big announcement coming up. Man, I totally got out of giving her a compliment just then. Oh, wait.

Yeah, sorry. I was about to punch out. Go. What are you doing that to your eyeball for? She's poking her eyeball. Makeup looks nice. Okay, thank you. She did makeup.

I did makeup for that. It didn't feel like he meant that. I'll receive it. It's good. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Ailey. It's good. Big announcement coming up after the news at 8 o'clock. Okay, so on Monday I shared that over the break, our summer break,

I had, BookTok led me into the world of smut. Reading just the sexiest pornographic erotica and it's becoming like incredibly popular with particularly the women. Like who broke the ice on this?

Because there was always those bands. Boots, Fifty Shades. Fifty Shades kind of did, right? Yeah. No, but then haven't like... Mills and Boone. Yeah, but they were always like pretty quiet about it, hush, hush, a little bit embarrassing,

maybe a little bit. And Mills and Boone had romance was the idea of it. And then the language was like, he took her and his member, and that kind of dancing around it. Right. Whereas the books that women are reading now is- I've danced around a couple of members in my time. I bet you.

Four or five. One or two or three or four. Five or six. Anyway, the books that people are reading now is absolute filth. And so many people. And so I shared that I had been reading this book called The Ritual. So many people reached out to you. Yes.

And so I've been wanting for a while to start a ZM book club. And so I've kind of, we had this idea to make it a specific book club and then producer Jared and I threw together a little intro for it. Hayley's Horny Book Club. Welcome to Hayley's Horny Book Club, where I'm going to introduce you to, review, analyse the latest smut that I have my hands on. Now, I am absolutely shooketh to see that the book that you're about to talk about has a Whitcalls Top 100 sticker on it. Don't be.

What else is selling? This is what's happening. You get the Bibles in there still. Bibles in there. You've got your Harry Potters. You've got your Edmonds cookbook. Yeah. And then the rest of the Whitcalls

100 is just smart. I'm going to say at least five of the top 100 Whitcalls is smart. Smart heavy. So, I started this by reading a book called The Ritual in which it was about a kind of an underground

society at a university in which the men are called lords. And as part of becoming a lord, you get to take a chosen and she becomes basically your sex slave for a year. This doesn't feel feminist. Dude. I know.

We live in confusing times. We live in confusing times. Now, this is why I cannot share this book with you because it is so immensely problematic and yet somehow I'm still jumping in the shower all hot and bothered after reading it. And it does not align with my sexual preferences. Anything that I have enjoyed in the past in the bedroom,

anything like that is not. I mean, stop yanking on my hair. It's very thin and fine, but in the book, pull away, sir. It's confusing, I know, Vaughan. And I am not alone in this because I have been welcomed into a Facebook group called The Smut Hood. And if you, like I, am enjoying smut books,

I encourage you. She's a member? Carwin's a member? Book club, Shannon. Yeah, we all jumped in last week. 100%. You had to answer security questions first. Yeah, you did. And it week. 100%. You had to answer security questions first. Yeah, you did. Really?

And it's all like, are you the age of this? Even Whitcalls don't sell you the books if you're underage. Right. So the smarthood, and I'll just give you an example. Do Whitcalls want anything to do with this? Yeah. Well, no, that's books, baby. Whitcalls don't care, right?

Absolutely. These books are making money. You've got your Whitcalls. Who else is selling smarthood? Online, Audible. You can listen to audiobooks. I do a mixture, but I downloaded one. Who reads the audiobooks? Well, it's different voice actors.

I downloaded one, though, and it was apparently a really hot, horny book. But the voice guy's like, I walked into the studio. And I was like, oh, no, mate. The voice killed it. The voice killed it. What voice do you read it in in your head? Like, hi. Like, really? So you read it

in a man's, an interior, internal man's voice. The books I like is this one that I'm going to share with you soon is Double Perspective,

Double POV. Her Perspective, His Perspective, Her Perspective, His Perspective or Her Perspective, His Perspective. It was another book I've read.

Now, the smarthood, women predominantly jump on and they go like, give me a rec for this or like, here's the kink. It's all about the kink that you're looking for. Give me some recommendations. Here's one. Give me a rec and they go like, give me a rec for this. Or like, here's the kink. It's all about the kink that you're looking for.

Right. Give me some recommendations. Here's one. Give me a rec. I was like, I'm not familiar with this terminology. Give me a recommendation. This is what I'm into. Yes.

Here's one. A request. And obviously anonymous. Yeah. Can I just, wait, is this a New Zealand group or a worldwide? Worldwide. Is it appropriate? We do here on the FM frequency have to adhere to a strict broadcasting standards.

I think we're okay. I'm going to dance around you. You can just be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, if it's too much. Okay. Here's a rec that someone on the smart hood group has required. I'm hoping for recs where the heroine, as in the lady, the female character, is poor. Like to the point she can't afford food. What?

Extremely. Someone's kink is not being able to afford the groceries? I'm open to any trope where it's mafia, billionaire, hero, college. I just ask that she ends the book in better circumstances than when the story starts. Right, okay. She wants a redemption tale. Yeah, there you go.

But also, what a great idea if you are a writer. Like someone's just given you an absolute plot. Just get in there and be like, right, I can write that. Anyway, so the book I'm sharing with you is a writer. Like someone's just given you an absolute plot. Just get in there and be like, I can write that. Anyway, so the book I'm sharing with you is a very popular series. This is hot on BookTok, which is why it's in the Whitcalls Top 100. Okay.

It's a series by Anna Huang called The Twisted Series. And I have the fourth book. Someone, when we touched on this briefly, was it yesterday or the day before, someone said this series. That's why I bought it. Oh, you bought it off that recommendation.

100%. Why is this the only book that doesn't look so thoroughly thrashed? It's thumb. And his dog ears? Well, the thing is I want to share a little bit to entice our listeners into reading of this. So I will say it's a slow burn. So I had to like flick through that much to get to a passage I want to read. Okay.

I'm worried now because the national government has said there's going to be an hour of reading in schools every day. I'm going to try to read. It's the hour of reading outside of school. Especially of all the teachers, if this is all they're reading. I'm going to read.

Miss, have you got a good recommendation? Yeah. Wait a minute. An inappropriate. I think when I recommend these books as part of Hayley's Horny Book Club, I'm going to read a soft bit of romance and maybe something hotter, and that

will be what I give you. Here's the soft bit. Wait, are we breaking copyright reading this? Is this allowed? It's promotion, right? I bought it. Oh yeah, okay. You're also promoting the book, you're giving them a little tease. This is told from Stella's perspective, this section. So this is the woman's perspective. Wait, is she the one that's poor

and needs food? Yes, so she, so the premise of the book is she gets into, Sweet Shine interviewed her, da-da-da-da, between her two jobs, she's little time for desire relationship when a threat from her past drives her into the arms and house of the most dangerous man she's ever met. She's tempted to let herself feel something for the first time in a long time. Who's the dangerous man? The mafia? Charming, deadly, and smart enough to hide it,

Christian Harper is a monster dressed in the perfectly tailored suits of a gentleman. Okay. It's a bit of a mafia kink. That's mafia. Right, okay. Okay, so they're talking at this point and she says, I snap my fingers. Okay, I have an idea. Sit on the couch. I'll skip forward. I could

provide foley. My heart hammered. Yeah, my heart hammered against, hard enough against my rib cage, it could bruise it. As I came up behind him and rested my hands on his shoulders, his muscles immediately bunched. What?

He said, his voice low. With so much danger, I tasted it in my throat. What are you doing? Giving you a massage. I'll skip forward. You're giving me a massage? The inflection of his words was impossible to read.

That's what I said. Now relax. I kept my voice as low and soothing as possible as I smoothed my palms over his neck and shoulders. His muscles bunched further, which defeated the entire purpose of the exercise. If you can't relax into a massage, I always get told to relax at the massage.

It took a while for Christian to relax, but he gradually sank into the couch and tipped his head back, eyes closed. The air hummed with awareness

and the mingled sounds of our soft, even breaths. I tried to focus on my movements and not on the powerful, masculine form draped beneath me

like a panther at rest after a long hunt. So that's a little soft little tease for you there. Okay. I'm going to move ahead. Well ahead. Was that the not erotic part? Dude, I can't even read the erotic part.

I'll dance around this bit, which is soft. I just worry that you're not going to be able to dance around it. This is still told from Stella's perspective later on in the book. Christian kissed the way I imagine he beeped, hot and commanding with a whisper of sensuality that softened its ruthless edge. It made every kiss I'd ever had before look like an imitation

because Christian Harper's mouth on mine was nothing short of a revelation. I was tumbling, dizzy with his taste and the way he gripped the back of my neck. Every ragged inhale and side exhale in exchange of parts of me I didn't know I had to give. He moulded me

against him and stripped away my layers one by one until there was only me left. I tangled my hands in his hair right as he hooked his hands beneath my thighs. Can we fast forward to the hump? You know when you're watching the video and you can tell it's going to be good because it's a big hump. Okay, I'm just going to read this last sentence just as far as I can get.

I tangled my hands in his hair right as he hooked his hands beneath my thighs and lifted me without breaking the kiss. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist and shivered when I felt the arousal of him against my stomach. Do you think guys have any idea what their partners are reading? No, no idea at all. They have no idea what happens on the next page, I'll tell you what. That book is so, like, plain looking on the cover. Yeah.

You should see these covers. They're so, like, some of them, you're like, oh yeah, that's porn. These? No idea. Anyway, that is the first episode of Hayley's Horny Book Club, and that is the book Twisted Lies by Anna Ana Huang. I'm into it. I don't know. Somebody said that series is amazing.

I had a legit book hangover from this series. Wow. She read it so hard she had a hangover. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Now, I saw this on TikTok and I was like, oh, I did that. When I was in the 90s, it was, it was, when I was in the 90s, Anastasia, how about now?

Like, she was huge, right, with that song. And she was famous for her glasses. And I really wanted glasses. I'll correct you. I'm out of love. Like she was huge, right? With that song. And she was famous for her glasses. And I really wanted glasses. I'll correct you. I think that was 2000. Was it? No, you, oh. I'm getting that.

I'm getting bardo poison. I'm getting 19, it was. Early, early 2000s. Because I was a kid when I did this. Early 2000s. No, it was 90s. Yellow sunglasses. It was 1999.

It was released Feb 29, 2000. Yeah was 1999. It was released February 29, 2000. Yeah. Oh, it was released February 2000. Okay, so it would have been the year, or maybe then earlier, and maybe it wasn't because of Anastasia, but there was a girl who said that, do you remember being a kid

and you'd do stuff for attention? And she shared that she'd gone to the optometrist and lied because she wanted glasses. I did the exact same thing because I wanted, like your frames Vaughn, like black square frame glasses but I wanted the yellow lenses. Remember those? The coolest thing.

And then Anastasia, the purple lenses. I was like, this is awesome. And I went and they were like, okay Hayley, first line like the big letter. I was like, um J and it's like an A um four I can't see that line. And I just did this such bullshit thing. But you could see every letter.

I was so scared to lie to like a medical professional. And they totally know. I mean, I'm 34 years old now and I don't need glasses. So my eyes back then were even better. And I totally lied. But then they do, you know, they look into your eyeball and they do the thing one or two and that kind of stuff. And you can easily tell that I had no need for glasses.

And the optometrist straight up said to my mum, oh, she's lying. She just wants glasses. And I remember getting in the car and my mum saying to me, you absolutely wasted our time and money there, Hayley. And I was like, oh. Wait, you didn't get a hiding or anything? No. No, I didn't get a hiding. Any kind of, I didn't get a hiding. Any kind of...

I didn't get a hiding. You weren't bashed? So bizarre. Were you not physically absolutely dominated for wasting your parents' time? You would have got a hiding for that, right? Absolutely. Yeah, same.

I also remember my best friend had asthma, which was terrifying. She'd had these asthma attacks and they had to go, you know, get rushed to the ventilators and stuff. And I remember being like quite jealous of the attention she got. And so I remember going home and being like,

Dad, Dad! And him coming in and me being like. Oh my God! Well, I have been desperate for attention since I was a kid. And they got those cool inhalers. And they got the cool things. I always wanted an inhaler.

The inhaler were the vapes of the 1990s. Yes, they were cool, man. And my dad being like. They were medical vapes. And they go. Yes. Breathe out. I remember my dad being like,

I think you were right. Yeah. I think you were right. I was like. Again, no hiding? No hiding. Wow. You want attention, I'll give you attention

would have been what I would have been doing. Yeah. This is why I've grown up the way that I am. Anyway, this kind of behaviour makes me laugh. I want to know what you did to get attention as a kid. Like faking your injury. I also faked an injury and I got crutches because I didn't want to play netball.

So I limped a bit and then I had to go and then I got a full x-ray and everything. This explains so much about you. Oh my God, I'm really sorry to my parents. It's really lucky that you crafted this into a... Performative. Otherwise you'd be a con woman. I would be a criminal.

She would absolutely be a criminal. But it was for attention, so I want to know... You'd be running Ponzi schemes and stuff. Yeah. You'd be in jail. Yeah, I would. So did you do this as a kid? Is there something you faked or you acted up on to get attention?

Yeah. Was it to get glasses? Did you fake breaking an arm because you wanted a cast? Yeah. Because they looked cool. Or maybe you ran away. I did that as well. Oh, no.

You sound like an absolute handful. Oh, well, you talk to me like that, maybe I'll get abducted. 0800 dials at M. Give us a call now. You can text her as well. 9696. What did you do as a kid to get attention? We want to know what you did for attention as a kid

because people are sharing it online. And I also did this, like faking needing glasses and faking having asthma and faking a whole lot of stuff. Yeah. Megan, good morning. What did you do to get attention? Oh, yeah. My mum was a nurse and one day she brought home one of those casts from a training day or something. Oh, yeah. And so I took it to school the next day, completely convinced everyone that I'd go for my arm. Wait, did you put it on your own arm?

I put it on my own arm. Oh, those things are manky. I mean, it was only worn for a day or something like that from training. It wasn't like you. Yeah, I told the teacher and got all the sympathy. But the guilt got me because I had to sit out of class and got to go on the computers. That was back when there was only like two computers in a classroom. Yes.

Yeah, the guilt got me and I had to confess. And yeah. Did you cry when you confessed? You know when you're a kid and you're like, the guilt gets in your life? I'm going to tell you something. I don't think I cried but I probably got

a bit of a telling off. Well, you got the attention as well though. That's the important bit. Yeah, it's getting the attention. That's what it's all about. And you got the cool cast thing. Yeah, they're cool.

I've never had one of those. I have that. Also, if your mum did that on a training day and the cast just slipped off, that's a bad cast. The cast must have snuck. It's got to be cut off with one of those vibrating swords.

Some messages in. I can't talk to you guys on the phone, but I will tell you at the time, I pretended to fall down the stairs, but my parents were just at the bottom and just sat there watching me go, oh, help, I'm falling, and slowly rolled down the stairs, and they didn't even get up. Oh, wow. They didn't even get up. Oh, wow. They didn't even get up. I was jealous of girls that wore braces.

And I don't know if you remember the thin metal bracelets we used to wear as kids, but I used to break them in half and wear them in my mouth over my teeth so it looked like I had braces. I think anyone that's had braces would just be like, why are you doing that? They're awful. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God, this is terrible.

We used to worry our mother sick by floating in the ocean unresponsive. You know, we used to do that in the pool and be like, look, look, I'm dead. Just for attention. In the ocean. Oh no. Don't do that. We're asking you what you did to get attention as a kid. Like, what did you fake?

What did you lie about? Everyone's sharing them on TikTok. I've done a lot of these. Yeah, well, you, the one that's gone viral, the girl pretending to have bad eyesight, you did that exact same thing.

Yeah. I'd look at Fletch, Fawn and Hayley and I'd be like, it's R, there's a five and a flower. You don't need glasses.

Rosie, what did you do as a kid? Well, I actually also did the glasses thing but we had family visiting over from England and my cousin was there and he always used to get all the attention and I got extremely jealous. So I went to bed one

night and I just sat there and let myself wet the bed. You just consciously peed in it. Wait, did he get all the attention because he was a bedwetter? Oh, he was a little A-hole to be honest So no, you just wanted to get the attention

Yeah, I wanted some of it on me But that's embarrassing I was a bedwetter until I was like Nine years old, I hated it Yeah, I know That's how badly I wanted the attention Could you have found like a One woman production in something? That's how badly I wanted the attention. Could you never have done, like, a one-woman production in the lounge that you made everybody sit through for ages?

They had a powerful message. I mean, yeah, I could have, but I obviously didn't think it through, and I remember regretting it instantly. Yeah, so wait, you pee yourself, and then you go knock on your parents' door? No, I think I just sat there and waited for Mum to come in and, like, you know, kiss me before she went to bed. And I was like, mum, I woke up and I went to bed. You've been in there for two minutes?

Because you know when you're a kid, like, time passes differently. You go in there, you're like, right, it's been an hour. Yeah. How old were you? How old were you? I think I was probably about 10. Yeah, it's getting late. It's getting late for a bed where...

Yeah, that's too late. I've never done it before, so, yeah, I'm sure my mum secretly knew. Yeah, it's getting late. It's getting late for a bed wet. Yeah, that's too late. I've never done it before, so yeah, I'm sure my mum secretly knew. Yeah, oh my God, that's amazing. Again, though, it worked. You got the attention. We're ending up with Sharon. Rosie, thank you. A couple of messages.

Faked having a sore arm so I could get the cool physio tape on my arm. Oh, yeah. I had the cool physio tape. That is so cool. It is cool. Turns out I'm highly allergic to physio tape. Oh, that backfired. It blew up in their face, but they would have got attention

when they had hives. I pretended to crash my bike when I was seven. I laid the bike down. I laid under the bike. And then I let out a huge scream. Help! I've crashed my bike! My dad and the builder just walked past

and the builder said to dad, I saw them do that. They just lied under the bike. And dad was like, typical. So there you go. to dad, I saw them do that. They're just lying on the bike. And dad was like, typical. So there you go. Your parents know if you're like that. Yeah. I used to scream in the middle of the night pretending I'd had a nightmare just so my parents would come into the room to see what was happening.

I faked needed tuition because all my friends were getting after school tuition. So I was like, I want to do that as well. Oh my God. So you cost your parents money. So I went to tuition and then one day forgot I was faking it and filled out the worksheet really quick and the teacher was like, what are you doing here? Yeah, you're incredibly bright.

You could be outside right now if you wanted to. Oh my God, someone just texted and I wanted to get off school and read that you could fake appendicitis by grabbing your sight. I had to have surgery and two weeks off school. Oh, because they didn't have appendicitis. Well, you'd go in and look, wouldn't you? Yeah. Nowadays, they pop in and have a little bit of a look.

Imagine being like, oh, and they're like right into surgery. You're like, oh, it's not that bad. It's not that bad. Play ZM's Fletch for the nightly. Play ZM. I bet you thought it was over, right? Oh, my God. Guess what?

Exciting. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Now, I don't want to be a woman that tears down other women. But Kylie Jenner is a B. And did you see her at the Golden Globes? Have a little. No.

I love you. I love you, Timothee Chalamet. Because that's the wildest coupling. Oh, they love a PDA, don't they? They love a PDA. I would have never seen it coming because usually she's gone for like the rappers. Basketballers. Basketballers, like a bad boy kind of a vibe.

Not bloody Willy Wonka and her and Timothee shallalama bing bong together do you have a sweet tooth I do

I do so yeah they were like doing little sweet nothings and everything and we were all watching them and I was like

she's looking good I like her man she's a billionaire good for her she's a fun gal she's stolen my look now I have debuted in 2023 in my pink hair yeah always wanted to have pink hair I like her, man. She's a billionaire. Good for her. She's a fun gal. She's stolen my look. Now, I have debuted in 2023 in my pink hair.

Yeah. Always wanted to have pink hair, and I just wanted a little flourish. And it just puts me in a good mood. It's hard to be in a bad mood. It's hard to be grumpy when you've got pink hair. Yeah. If you are grumpy, do you just look in the mirror and you're just like. Yeah. Well, that's silly.

That's not a normal colored hair. Kylie Jenner's gone back to pink hair. Now, I cannot help but feel that she's seen my Instagram and seen how iconic it is. And she's gone, oh, I better do that. She has worn a pink wig before. Does she follow you? Maybe you've come up in her explore page.

I have 41,000 followers. I'm pretty sure she follows me. Well, I mean, is there a way to check? There is. Yeah, I'll go followers, search,

Kylie. Probably at the top. Kylie Allen, Kyle's Collier. There's a few Kylies. It's actually, I've got a bunch of Kylies. Well, it's a very popular name,

isn't it? Very, especially in New Zealand. Or surely amongst, look at all these Kylies that follow me. God, common as muck. No I don't. There's not a Jenna? Well there's so many Kylie's here you wouldn't be able to tell.

It's not even worth my time scrolling. She's in there because clearly she's looked in and she's gone pink hair. The only thing that really irks me she's got more money and she's got more hair than me. You know I'm famously thin I'm thin when it comes to the hair

Don't want to be I'm just going to play devil's avocado for a moment Just play the role Marie Claire 2017 article Is entitled 48 celebrities with pink hair Katy Perry Kim Kardashian, Salma Hayek

Iggy Azalea, Grimes, Nicole Richie, Lily Allen. They didn't have the balls. GCJ. They didn't have the balls to properly do it. Cyndi Lauper. Girls just want to have fun after all. I think what you're seeing here is a completely original idea that I've come up with here because I'm so unique and trendy.

And Kylie Jenner of all people has ripped me off. Do you know what this is like? It's like when you buy a top or whatever you buy, a dress or a jumper or whatever, and you're like, this is great, I love it. And then you go out in public and you see someone and they look better in it because they're hotter. Do you know what's worse?

Yes. Yes. You're like, oh my God, this is my new number one outfit. You see it on someone else, you're like, that is not how I wear it. Worse is when you've got that and then someone borrows your one of it. And then they look better?

They look better in it. Yeah. I've had that before and you're like, well, you can just have it. I can't unsee what I've seen here. Yeah.

I mean, she's got thickness. Anyway, this is, it's upset me greatly actually and I can't wait for her to reveal it to Wig because she doesn't have the balls to commit in the way I've committed. It looks like she's committed, doesn't it?

It does look a little bit like she's committed. I can see the root. It does look real. It does, it's unfortunate. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Yummy, yummy, yummy in my tummy. It's so rich and good. Whittaker's have announced a new chocolate flavour, Yummy Yummy,

a segment of the show where we take a look at new food items and trends. I had a few Whittaker's blocks over the break, over the summer break. Did you do a hazella because that's my fave? No, that's trash. Oh, my God. That's such trash. It's so embarrassing. I do hazelnut, but not hazella.

No, my favourite, I say it's trash, but my favourite is the bloody berries. Oh, yeah, that's good. Forest, berry biscuit and all the black forest one. Yum. Got little lollies in it. I'd love to see them do a top ten of their salads, of the best salads. I'm sure you'd be able to find that information. Do you know what I reckon would be really disappointing?

What? The plainest one would be caramel. It would be, nah. I reckon it would be the caramel rules. It would be, nah, it would be dairy milk. No, it wouldn't. Yeah, dairy milk would be number one. Yeah, it would be because people are so plain.

The plain ones are always number one. Why? Do you think because people use them for other things? Yeah, other things. I would never buy a dairy milk. No, neither. Or whatever they call it. Never.

Milk chocolate. I would never buy their milk chocolate. Unless it's like a whole block of white chocolate, because you know I love the white. Oh my God. And it is chocolate, don't you? Really? Do you find, Vaughan,

because you've been working with Fletch for 20 years, that it's hard to be his friend sometimes? Yeah. With you, Vaughan, I feel a sense of ease. You don't embarrass me often, but this guy. Yeah, his taste is there. Honestly, it's really hard. Okay, I'll try harder.

Why a whole block of white? Anyway, carry on. The new flavour is Whittaker's Choc Cross Bun, limited edition flavour. Oh, yum! Cocoa creamy milk chocolate with naturally mixed spice flavour, raisins and orange oil. Yum.

Okay. So it's like a hot cross bun in chocolate form. All the spices and the flavours. Yeah. Yum. Yeah, that's going to be good. I love hot cross buns. I can't wait for Easter.

They've got around the rind there with orange oil. Yeah, so it'll be like a hint, a hint of orange. I'm glad they've done that. Because the spices could be confused for other things, but a good hot cross bun has that little orange essence, doesn't it? Always has rind. Okay, this is good. Now, we know about this because

of Australia. It's in Australia. In Australia, but apparently not coming to New Zealand until February 5th. So did they get like Aussie out of the way? Because, you know, Aussie's a trash. And they save the rest for us. Well, that's one way to look at it. No, but I think it's more

like they've got a hot new girlfriend and now they're just kind of giving us the scraps. That's what I think as well. Why did they get this? This is obviously a good flavour. It's not a risk. Some of their flavours sometimes have taken a risk and everyone was like, oh, no.

Well, we're both getting it, but why aren't we first? But I feel like they're the younger kid and we're the oldest and they're like, we'll get to you. Come on, your little brother's got to have, because they're the new kid on the block. Yeah. They're in Australia. Right.

New kid on the chocolate block. To say we're hurt. Yeah. I think would be an understatement. This is actually, yeah, this is a direct message. As a middle child, I'm about to have to play up. Oh, I can feel that. I'm about to have to play up.

He's going to start playing up. Because the youngest child just got something before I did and I want it. So you're about to have to deal with a second child situation here. When is Easter this year? End of March. Yeah, it's a March Easter, isn't it? 30th, 31st.

So we've got, we're still going to have, what, like six weeks before Easter of this chocolatey goodness. Damn it, I love Easter so much. More than that. More than that. Because it's the end of Easter. Oh, the end. March 31st. Oh no, so we're going to have like...

A couple of months, really. A couple of months. Yeah, one week into Feb, and then three weeks, and then four more seven-odd weeks. Oh, damn it. Now I just feel like a hot cross bun, because we get hot cross buns in the studio

on the Thursday before Good Friday. It's become a tradition. The tradition says. And the ones we get are so lus, and now I can't get it out of my head. Here's an idea. Delicious hot cross buns, like in the oven, toasted with butter, and then melted chocolate.

I literally got a quiver through my body just then. Like down my spine. Oh. But the chocolate will then taste like the Easter bun, the hot cross bun. Will that be double Easter bun? No, I think you've got a bun as more your savoury and then your chocolate as your put. When we do it, we're going to have to go one after the other. Oh, wait, you're putting the new chocolate on a bun?

Well, this is what I'm just... He was going to melt and drizzle. You need it on a plain, very fresh brioche bun. So we're going to do a double. We're going to do our own. No, you're not a brioche. Yes, I think you have your hot cross bun as to do our own. No, not a brioche. Yes, I think you have your hot cross bun as is. What's a sweeter bread than a brioche?

I think it's a drizzled chocolate over the hot cross bun. No, but then the hot cross bun stands on its own. This is a debate in itself. A plain chocolate over a hot cross bun. No. Yeah, they have to be plain. Like a really nice bougie hot cross bun with a drizzled chocolate over the top. It'll be double spices.

You're double dipping. You're double spicing. It'll be a very hot cross bun With a drizzle of chocolate Over the top It'll be double spices You're double dipping You're double spicing It'll be a very hot cross bun Well either way It's out Feb 5 Feb 5 Feb 5 The day before

Waitangi Day We might have to get Somebody to meal that From Australia My brother's there I'll message him We're on it Is he coming back

Before February No I'll make him post it Oh my god It'll cost like $800 I don't give a crap I'll send it. We're on it. Is he coming back before February? No, I'll make him post it. Oh my god, it'll cost like $800. I don't give a crap. I'll send it to him. I need to try this chocolate. Fact of the day is next. It's our band name week. I'm loving it, by the way. I had one

lined up for today, and then a man called Anthony slipped into my DMs, and he's like, did you know this story? I said, that's better than the one I had, Anthony. I'm not too much of a man to admit it. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day comes to us from Anthony.

He messaged me. He spelt my name wrong. And I was ready to just delete the whole block and delete. And then he said, I hope you dig this fact of the day. It's about how Eiffel 65 got their name. Remember Eiffel 65, the song? Hell yeah. Blue his house with a blue little window and a blue car van

and everything was blue. It's just blue. Blue himself. Blue, blue. So he's blue, blue, bracket, double D, close brackets. I'm blue, double D, double D. Do you remember that? If I was green, I would die.

No. That's what we had at our school. I'm blue, if I was green, I would die. No. That's what we had at our school. I'm blue. If I was green, I would die. What was that in reference to? Well, da-ba-dee-da-ba-die. Just sounds like if I was green, I would die. It wasn't a political statement.

Because you went to a private school and now famously, you know. No, I'm talking about primary school. Not huge fans of the greens. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Right, right, right. So when did the song come out? 1998.

Great year. The artist Eiffel 65 released this. Well, I'm here to tell you how they got their name Eiffel 65. They said... Eiffel Tower. It was 65... In the line to get up. It was 65th in the line for the Eiffel Tower.

For the Eiffel Tower. They were like, what a great band name. Terrible guess. Okay. Eiffel. We had a program on a computer that randomly generated names. Oh, for God's sake. I remember doing that. And that's how Eiffel came out. Ohiffel. We had a program on a computer that randomly generated names. Oh, for God's sake, I remember doing that. And that's how Eiffel came out.

Oh, okay. But the 65 issue was a really strange story because no one chose 65. We went to the producer when we got the call and an email saying congratulations. Like basically, you're signed to the label, Eiffel 65, double thumbs up. And they're like, Eiffel 65, double thumbs up. And they're like,

Eiffel 65? So they just wanted it to be Eiffel. Yeah. And they went to the producer and they said, what the hell happened? Why are we Eiffel 65

all of a sudden? He started looking for an answer. Yeah. And what happened was when he had the CD that he'd written Eiffel on, he got a phone call

and he had to write down a phone number. Oh yeah. And he went and he wrote the phone number, the 65, the last two digits of the phone number, he ran out of paper and just like, just read it without looking and wrote 65 on the CD sleeve. That is so

good. Yeah, the last two digits ended up on the label copy of the CD and that's the piece of paper the graphic artist gets to make the sleeve and all the information on the record. Because objectively, Eiffel 65 is a terrible band name. Terrible name? I just assumed it was. But then so is Eiffel. Yeah. Eiffel in itself is just

crap. Euro pop. Semi-unexplainable most of the time. Yeah, right. It's a wild continent for music in Europe. Oh, they did Move Your Body. Come on, everybody. I was like, that is a one-hit wonder, but they had two hits. But they had Move Your Body as well.

Well, that's how they got an Eiffel 65. That's from Anthony. Thanks, Anthony. Jeepers. That's so embarrassing. Just looking at a photo of them, it's got such aqua vibes. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Europop in the 90s was like, are they gay? Aren't they questionable? You don't know. Big hints of vibes. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Europop in the 90s was like...

Are they gay? Aren't they questionable? You don't know. Big hints of gay, eh? Yeah. But they're not. They're just European. What era was their airing in?

The gay... Oh, no, not the gay era. Not the gay era. Oh, I'm sorry. Straight then. That's the final ruling. Do you think younger people at Gen Z listens and are like, what's the gay era?

I still don't know what the gay era is. If I was... It's your right ear. If I'm looking are like, what's the gay ear? I still don't know what the gay ear is. It's your right ear. If I'm looking at you, it was the left. So if your right ear was pierced, that's the gay ear. Okay. Wait, so stage left. So your stage left. Stage left ear was gay.

Right. So your right ear. If I'm putting my hand up to my right ear, that's stage right. Yeah. That's what I mean. Stage right. That's my stage right. Stage right That's what I mean. I'm on the stage, so it's my stage right. Stage right.

How about this theatre kid over here? No, I thought you got it wrong and I was just going to move on without embarrassing you. No, no. Stage left is when you're on the stage, which is your left and right. So it's stage right. It's stage right right was the... Yeah. It's the gay ear.

Okay. Just explaining to everyone. Bonus fact. The gay ear is your right ear. Wink, wink. Nice, nice. So today's fact of the day on Band Name Week is that Eiffel 65 only got the 65

when the record producer was writing down a phone number and the last two numbers, 65 as it turned out, ended up on the CD sleeve. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. We were off air when this happened But January 8th is like global divorce day Which is the highest sort of breakup day. Divorce and relationships or just divorce? No, it's probably day in the year to file for divorce.

So we're talking about paperwork here. Okay. But- So that's kind of post-Christmas. You're like, okay, I'm done with you and I don't want to see your family again either. They're saying a fortnight filled with festive tensions, family arguments and plenty of seasonal stress

can often tether a relationship. So that would apply to marriage or not. And they say it's a huge boom time for divorce lawyers. Now you don't have to be married to use a divorce lawyer because is it still two years and you're legally entitled to half of everything

that you co-own or that you own on your own, to be fair. And now I'm reading this article from NZ Herald, the New Zealand Herald, and because of the Cosi Livi cry, rent is hard and high, mortgages are high,

the market's still a bit low, people can't afford to divorce. So they can't afford to split completely, so a lot of people are breaking up or ending their marriage or their people can't afford to divorce. So they can't afford to split completely. So a lot of people are breaking up or ending their marriage or their long-term relationship and then staying living together, co-owning the house and living there. And just moving into a different room. I get it though.

Like if Aaron and I were to split up today, we couldn't sell the house. It would be shooting your future self in the foot. It's a bad market, you know? So you're like, well, you can't sell the house. You've got to stay in the house. It would be shooting your future self in the foot. It's a bad market, you know, so you're like well, you can't sell the house. You've got to stay in the house. But then that's not healthy, is it, to break up with someone and then you're stuck

living with them. Depends on the kind of breakup it is, I suppose. It depends on the reason for breaking up. I mean, if they've done something terrible and you feel betrayed, oh my God, I can't imagine. Like he cheated on you and then he's in the next room for the foreseeable future. Yeah. Because you can't afford to sell the house.

So they're calling it a mid-vorse, which is like making the emotional decision to split. Yeah. And, you know, perhaps maybe opening, even opening yourself up to meeting new people, but still kind of living a fused life. Oh, I couldn't think of anything worse. Yeah. Well, even if you think of anything worse. Yeah. Well, even if you don't own a house with someone, just even renting by yourself or going out to,

it's like ridiculous. You might be in a good renting situation, so you stay together. I know so many people struggling to find flats because they just like, I can't afford that, but I don't want to live with like 10 other people. So experts are saying like, if this is yours, you've got to maintain open communication,

be polite, but not over familiar. No more snuggles in the bed or on the couch, please. Children first, financial transparency, all these things. Well, that'd be a reason why people stay in the same house, the kids, and then just have different bedrooms. Yeah, totally. So I want to know if you've been in this situation, or maybe you know someone who's been in this situation,

where you split up with your long-term partner or you got a divorce but you continued living together I just want to know what it's like How hard is it? How awkward was it? Were you bringing a laugh or a home? I know especially if you get a new partner or they get a new partner and then like you just be hoo-wooing through the wall

and you're like oh god I don't need to hear that So there's an increase in couples breaking up but still living together because it's cheaper to flat or it's just cheaper. Cheaper to flat, not a good time to sell or whatever. The financials, it's not a good time. So you're

staying together to make life work. Josie, good morning. You've been doing this. Yeah, so not October last year, the year before, I broke up with my first daughter together. We were together for five years, had a lifestyle property together. So I found out that he was doing a dirty on me with someone else.

Oh, no. I'm sorry. You cut out. Were you married or just boyfriend, girlfriend? We weren't married. Okay. But so I broke up with him. We were pretty platonic living together.

We decided to go our separate ways. We weren't, you know, into each other anymore. And then he continued to see this girl after we'd split up. Yikes. We had to live together for 10 months after we'd broken up. Don't tell me she came over to your house. Sorry? Don't tell me she came over to your house.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, the woman that your partner cheated on you with. After five years. After five years and you own a lifestyle property together is now in your home with your ex, who's still there. Was she eating your biscuits?

She better not be eating the biscuits. Oh no, she was sleeping in my bed. Wait, where were you sleeping? In the spare room. Yeah, so I moved out into the spare room. No, you've been wronged. He moved into the spare room. I wasn't, yeah. So I moved out into the spare room. No, you've been wronged. He moved into the spare room. He should have gone into the spare room.

I wasn't at the house at the same time, but I would, he insisted on having his partner over because, you know, we were 50-50. We were just flatmates, according to him. Yeah. So he said, I will have over who I want, when I want. And so

pretty much every weekend I had to leave with or without my daughter. If it was my weekend with her, I would take her with me wherever I was staying. I'd just go out for the weekend and I tried my best to avoid him. Wow. You know, at all costs. Yeah, that's hard, isn't it? So we sold the house. It took 10 months to sell the house.

And the woman who he was with ended up buying it. She bought the house. She bought the house. She bought the house. Oh, my God, this is so... She bought your house. So she ended up living in the house with her kids and my ex. And you're gone.

I hope it had a leaky roof you didn't tell her about. Yeah, I would have taken out a couple of screws here and there and made things a bit loose. Wow, what an interesting story. Yeah, wow, Josie, thank you for sharing. Thank you. We'll get to more of your texts and calls next. 0800DARLSATM9696, did you continue living together after you broke up?

I'm currently living in the situation. Three kids. He's just come back from Spain after 11 months away. We lived like that for a year before he left.

He pays the rent and some of the bills and I pay for food and the bills. And he's currently sleeping on the sofa. Not of the bills and I pay for food and the bills and he's currently sleeping on the sofa not sure how long he'll even be back for. His European life is awkward sometimes but we try to keep it peaceful.

Well, there's three kids involved so that's great. You've got to make it work. You wouldn't want the father of your kids as much as you don't want to be with them anymore just out willy-nilly,

you know? Yeah, gone. We don't know where his pay-out is. He's going willy-nilly with his churros. My girlfriend and I broke up. You know Yeah gone You don't know where Willie has been Payella is Is Going willy nilly With his churros Yeah

My partner and I were together for 12 years. We bought a house in March 2022. We broke up in November 2022. Still live together. I've got a new partner, but don't bring them to the house when she's there. We have shared duties of the fur babies at the house and we still have dinner together.

We're just like friends now. It's just cheaper to share, to be playmates. My friend got cheated on. Then he cheated on her and then they split up but still live together. The girl he cheated on got pregnant and now she's moved in. It's a very awkward living situation.

Oh my God. It's like a Shortland Street drama line or something. Yeah. Someone's just said a good point which is I lived with my ex

for six months after we separated and that was six months too long. It's really hard to grieve a relationship and move on when you're still

in each other's space. But then you might know better sell the house. Totally. If you've got a house together. Yeah. Oh God, someone messaged saying

this happened to a good friend of mine right now. They separated yesterday. Oh God, that's fresh. That's a fresh one. That's literally not even 24 hours old. Well, good luck to you
