Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards.
Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley.
Happy Wednesday.
And happy World Menopause Day.
Is it?
It is today.
What a surprise that is.
Good morning to our menopausal listeners.
Yep.
Who are up, restless.
Good morning to our hairy menopausal listeners who are up, restless. Good morning to our perimenopausal listeners who are on the outskirts of menopause town,
just trying to find the quickest, most direct route to the centre of town for a pick-up
and then get out as quick as they can.
Good morning to our listeners that have just been through it.
My mother breezed through it.
Very lucky lady.
Nothing.
No symptoms.
The only symptom being that she stopped bloody menstruating and that was it.
Lucky lady. Lucky lady. Nothing. No symptoms. The only symptom being that she stopped bloody menstruating and that was it. Lucky lady.
Lucky lady.
So anyway.
Happy World Menopause Day.
We've been told that in solidarity
with our menopausal listeners
the producers are going to crank the heat every now
and then and then pull it right back down.
Okay, right.
And Fletch is in, you know, that sort of
shitty up and down mood most of the time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Who knows what you'll get?
Maybe we'll kill each other.
Who knows?
Coming up on the show.
I'll tell you what, your father's going to wear it.
Silly little poll on the way.
How does your partner affect your diet?
Not at all.
Yes, they absolutely affect it.
Or they affect it in a good way.
In a good way.
Like maybe they are like, no, we're eating well.
This is me yesterday.
I had so much to do.
And then Aaron's like, or we could have a gin sour.
I believe you said that at 11am.
11am.
Yeah.
How long did you make it before?
What time?
2.30.
2.30 I had my first
martini. Okay, wow.
I only had two drinks yesterday.
Applause. Thank you.
You had a lot of work to do though, didn't you?
I did. For the live show.
Which is tomorrow.
There's been a study done about
how your partner affects your diet. We'll get into that soon
with silly little poll, but next on the show
Look, I love a list of baby names but there's been a list released of how your partner affects your diet. We'll get into that soon with silly little poll, but next on the show.
Look, I love a list of baby names,
but there's been a list released of the craziest baby names from Australia this year.
Like four real names.
I'll give you a tease.
Janeslian.
Australia.
That's got a $5 prescription fee on it again now.
Yeah, back around.

There was a Reddit post from Australia that was sharing some,
I guess someone who worked in the name registry or whatever,
was sharing some of the wildest names they've had come through this year.
That have been accepted. They have been accepted.
They have been accepted.
Okay.

Genaslian's probably my favourite of the list.
That's a hell of a name. And you're right, it does sound like a prescription medication. Yeah. Oh my God, I've run Arlen. Janaslian's probably my favourite of the list. That's a hell of a name.

What I love about this is they're so close to real names.
Yeah, like spelling mistake level.
Even when you see them, they just look funny.
Trevin, Winsley, Caishton, McKenzie.
And then everyone on this Reddit thread is just coming on and being like,
what about this?
What about this?
These names.
You just need to think about it.
These kids are going to spend a lifetime
spelling their names to people.
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
I know. Trash.
I'll say it.
Trash.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and
Hayley. There's a story
shared online that
caught my attention. There's
a woman and she, like many, many people,
lives paycheck to paycheck, not a lot of money to spare around,
works a minimum wage job, very rarely eats out or treats herself.
But she and a work colleague were like, you know what?
It's been a hard month.
Let's head out for dinner and have a nice dinner.
And they were like, hell yes, I can make a little room in the budget for this.
Now, Lara, who was the woman here,
she took her friend,
they went out and they had this really nice meal
in which they had appetizers, mains, drinks and desserts.
So already I'm going,
even if you're going to a cheap restaurant,
that's racking up.
And they get to the time to pay
and the other woman,
her colleague,
and she keeps reminding us
that she calls her a colleague,
not a friend.
It's like,
oh my God,
I'm so sorry.
I forgot my wallet.
This is so awkward.
And Lara's like,
it's okay.
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.
I'll cover you.
You just pay me back.
Just like that time
I was getting sushi
and my colleague,
Hayley,
offered to pay for my sushi.
That's right, because he forgot his wallet.
Right.
She offered to pay at that time.
Under the proviso that I would be reimbursed at a later date.
At a later date.
In which he reimbursed me by buying my sushi.
Another day.
I consider it a fair reimbursement,
even though he eats
way more sushi than I do and I always get
like four pieces and he gets
like ten. He loads up the tray.
The tray's like bursting. Are you saying...
No, I'm over it. It's gone. I'm released.
I'm just saying like, yeah, quote unquote
I was reimbursed. I'm just saying you have
used my shower a few times. Yeah.
And that's a lot of hot water heating
shampoo, soap.
Okay.
And so I think we're even.
Okay.
I think we're even.
Literally eats like
10 pieces of sushi.
Do you know what I mean?
Like we're going for a snack.
Yeah.
He eats like a small
Japanese family's worth
of sushi.
Oh yeah, definitely.
I eat a platter.
I eat a catering platter.
He literally has
a catering platter.
Won't touch a biscuit,
God forbid.
God forbid.
Treats coming to the studio.
No.
Absolutely not.
Oh, no, thank you.
And then we'll eat, you know, a 20kg bag of rice wrapped in seaweed.
Because biscuits are an evil carbohydrate.
Exactly.
They're naughty.
But rice, white rice.
Oh, dipped in soy.
Yeah.
La, la, la, la, la.
It's fine.
Never mind.
Anyway, we're even.
Yep.
Thank you. Quite unquiet. Now, so she forgot her wallet and Lara's like, Anyway, we're even. Yep. Thank you.
Now, so she forgot her wallet
and Lara's like, okay, I'll pay for her.
And the woman was like, I promise I'll reimburse you
for all this
money. Three weeks later, right?
Lara is
hounding this woman.
Her colleague calls her a
stalker who was pissing her off
by constantly demanding to be paid back
So like we drop into the text
She's got screenshots
We drop in later
Being like hey loved Monday
Just a reminder
Hit me back here's my bank account
Sends a few of those
Being like hey nudge nudge
Can you here's my bank account
Then we drop into the text
Hey hey can you real quick just pay me back for dinner
the other week?
The other week, right?
Weeks have passed.
You should have paid by now.
You should have paid by now.
The respondent says, hey, girl, sure thing.
I get paid next week.
I'll be sure to hit you up then.
Then Lara's like, hey, I'm not trying to be rude, but you've been saying that for over
three weeks now.
Just keep getting pushed back and back.
Yeah. And then the other girl goes, I know. I'm sorry. Shit be rude, but you've been saying that for over three weeks now. Just keep getting pushed back and back. Yeah.
And then the other girl goes,
I know, I'm sorry.
Shit's been really crazy
and I have other shit that takes priority
that I need to focus my money on.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Lara's like,
You pay for dinner immediately.
And Lara has emphasised here,
she is not a woman of means to just be shouting money.
She needs this money.
She said, okay,
but you know I struggle to get by
and like not for anything,
but you're posting about going out for dinner again tonight
while I'm struggling.
Okay, no, no, no, no, no.
Then the colleague texts back saying,
all right, and question mark,
are you just going to stalk my socials every day
calling out shit that I'm doing?
Oh no, this isn't, this makes me so uncomfortable.
I know, it's so like, I'll never do this.
And then the colleague says, I thought better of you, TBH.
And then said, see, this is the shit that I've got to deal with.
Wow.
Then Lara's like, I'm literally asking you to please pay me back.
It's frustrating that you keep posting about going out for activities or food or anything else.
But whenever I bring up the fact that you owe me money,
then all of a sudden the weight of the world is coming down on you and you brush me off.
Please pay me back. And then the colleague
just says, I already told you I will. This shit's
pissing me off. I'm done talking to you.
Please tell me she's
got her money.
This is a workplace thing. I think we're going to need to get
management involved.
But it's a thing that happened outside of
work. Yeah, but it's going to affect
the workplace severely.
You've got to pay people back straight away.
On the night, you've got your phone with you.
Just make the transfer then and there.
You're going to pay.
Don't go out for dinner with people.
Yeah, the thing is, if you forgot your wallet,
you can transfer money, right?
Yeah, straight away on your phone.
Whereas if you say, oh my God, my card declined.
I don't have the money.
Can you wait?
That's a different story.
But I mean, they're obviously friendly enough. To go to dinner. oh my god my card declined I don't have the money can you wait? That's a different story.
But I mean they're obviously
friendly enough
to go to dinner.
I know they're just work colleagues
but they're going to dinner together.
Just the two of them.
Yeah.
No I know the sort of relationship
this was.
This was a real
I reckon even before
they went out for dinner
they were really trying
to be nice to each other
but didn't like each other.
That sort of false
Oh my god girl
yes let's like go out.
Yeah girl.
Oh my god.
Guys don't do this. Guys don't do this.
Guys don't do this.
Well, do you know on the thread that this is on,
there's like a mixed response.
People are being like,
oh my God, this woman,
how are we?
This is horrendous.
And other people being like,
well, don't need money.
You can't afford to lose.
That's not the contrary.
No, no.
Do you know there's not an update
on whether or not she got her money?
I don't know.
Oh my God.
I don't know. I hope my God. I don't know.
I hope so.
Just pay her back.
Just pay her back.
See, this is the kind of shit that I've got to deal with.
I'm done talking to you.
Play it.
CDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Silly little boy.
Silly little boy.
It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little boy.
Silly little boy. Silly silly little pole, silly little pole.
Today's silly little pole is about your partner's effect on your diet.
Your, I guess your weight, right?
Let's not use the D word.
Lifestyle tricep.
Lifestyle factors. Lifestyle crisis.
Lifestyle factors.
Lifestyle and food crisis.
Do you know, I just honestly,
obviously I don't want to break up with Aaron.
I love my life, I love him.
But if I was to go through a breakup,
man, I'd shred.
I'd be so shredded.
I guess I'm just going through a breakup at the moment.
It's so funny when people break up and they lose all that weight
and you're just like, oh yeah.
They just get hot.
I would say all of my friends
who have gone through breakups
just went like,
shoo, shoo, shoo, poof.
And you're like,
oh my God,
this whole time.
Yeah, but they're like miserable.
Oh yeah,
desperately depressed.
Desperately depressed.
All they want is a biscuit.
All they want is a cuddle.
All they want is a biscuit. So we is a cuddle All they want is a cuddle and a biscuit
So we asked you for today's silly little poll
How does your partner affect your diet?
Positively, negatively or not at all?
Now before you give the results
I will give you the results from the study
From the University of Connecticut
Which basically says that
Romantic partners
Do not affect your weight loss.
Bullshit.
I'm calling it.
No way.
So they said they can't find any social influence at all between couples
when it came to factors like self-control or grit,
both of which link to better weight loss and weight maintenance.
No, it's just that you need someone to blame
and not the person that you blame for everything.
No way.
Mine is, Aaron, this is always Aaron.
I'm like, all right, I've got vegetables
in the veggie drawer.
I've got chicken in the fridge
ready to go.
And then I'll be like,
right,
I'm going to make dinner.
He'll be like,
do you feel like cooking?
Yes, Aaron.
I do.
I've got all the ingredients,
Aaron.
I'm just going to have a look
what's up there at B-Spot.
I'll just have a look
at what food truck's
at B-Spot.
And you're like,
well,
now I want a burger.
No,
you've got to say no.
No,
I don't.
I'm weak. I'm mentally weak. So, then you've got to say no. No, I don't. I'm weak.
I'm mentally weak.
So the study also said that on an individual level,
positive behavioral changes are quite possible with the right intervention.
So in other words, while you might not be able to count on your partner's tendency to change yours,
everyone is capable of breaking bad habits on their own.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
So you've got to say no, I don't want to go to the food truck.
But tacos.
A taco.
How does your partner
affect your diet?
This is the feedback.
53% of people.
So a majority said negatively.
Yeah.
20% said positively
and 27% said not at all.
So the positively
would be the people
that like their partner
is like, get up,
we'll go to the gym.
Yeah, I've been that
to us before. People don't like, that can be a bit too much. Do you know, I like leading it people that like, their partner's like, get up, we'll go to the gym. Yeah, I've been that to us before.
People don't like,
that can be a bit too much.
Do you know,
I like leading it and being like,
right, babe,
we're getting on track.
We're going to do this.
We're going to do this.
Aaron's always happy to come with.
If Aaron does it,
I'm like,
I'm sorry,
did you,
you think I'm fat?
If Aaron says like,
right, babe,
let's get back on track.
Let's go to the gym.
Let's pull back.
I'll be like,
okay,
why don't you just call me
an absolute whale?
Wow. We're never having sex again. Wow. Don's go to the gym. Let's pull back. I'll be like, okay, why don't you just call me an absolute whale? Wow.
We're never having sex again. Wow.
Don't even look at me. Look away.
Wow, I'm sorry. Call the bloody
ambulance to wheel
me out of the house.
Get them to get a bloody crane. Call Project
Jonah. Oh yeah, let's remove the front door.
Get me out of this house. You can walk up
behind him and grab love handles
on each side. Yeah.
And be like, hee hee hee, handles on each side. Yeah. And be like,
hee hee hee
and jiggle them
but if he's like,
hey,
I thought we were going
to the gym today.
Beg your pardon?
Excuse me?
What did you just say?
Excuse me?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah,
we'll take all my clothes
to the seamstress,
I guess,
get them taken out.
It's moo moos for me.
Yeah, wow.
Some feedback on it.
Helen says,
I was skinny
when we first met
And now I'm fat
Because of his
Skinny slash fat ass
Right
That's the thing
If you're with a partner
With a wildly
Unbalanced
Compared to you
Metabolism
Yeah
That can be frustrating
Also he could be a feeder though
Hot
If that's what he's into
And that's what you're into
Being fed
Yeah
Carl says
Too much of her pud pud
Has made me tubby.
Pud pud.
You've got to tell her to stop making those delicious pud puds.
Oh, but pud pud.
Ellie says, we may or may not be equally as bad influence on each other.
Like last week, we ate four blocks of chocolate.
Yeah.
Some chocolate's good for you though.
She would have opened it Had a row
And then said
Take this away from me
Yeah
Which is classic
Get this away from me
And then
Five minutes later be like
Oh you
You hear the fridge open
You're like
Oh can you grab me a slap
Can you grab me a
Are you getting out of the row
I have another row
Should have just left it on the couch
Never a piece eh
Or you get up
I get up
And I'll wrap up a bag of chips
and I'll go to put them away and it'll be like, uh-uh.
That's all the next you see.
Like, where are you taking those?
I'd love to blame someone, says Rebecca, but it's all me.
We both have our bad diet habits, but I can't blame him for all of them.
That seems to be the common theme.
Yeah, totally. Everybody being like, yeah, they're bad, but I can't blame him for all of them. And that seems to be the common theme. Yeah, totally.
Everybody being like, yeah, they're bad, but I mean, come on.
It's also just nice to go home and eat a nice meal with your partner
and sit down and have a cuddle.
I'm not a goose in a foie gras factory.
I know what's going into my mouth.
My mouth isn't being held open and chocolate being pumped into it.
I'm not a goose in a foie gras.
Stop! My mouth is being Hiled open And chocolate being Pumped into it Well I've got bad news Climate change is coming
For your alcohol
Oh sorry
I was like
God is it
Is it coming
It's here
Now Vaughan, particularly
bad news for you because you're a huge
whiskey drinker. You love your whiskey.
Whiskey
is going to become extortionate
in pricing.
I don't like hearing that.
I was going to say you already like a nice whiskey
but you aren't opposed to a bloody
Jameson's or a Teacher's or a bloody
whatever. Which are very nice
whiskeys. What are you talking about? And when you go through
I just mean, it's not your bloody Lafolles.
Oh, it's not like, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but you can't be buying
that when you go through it as fast as he does.
No, exactly. So, beer brewers
That's a treat. So across the board when it comes
to booze, beer brewers fear
grain shortages and rising temps
will make hops more bitter.
So beer, they reckon, will become blander and more bitter.
Bland and bitter.
God, no one tell Wellington.
They'll be beside themselves.
It's half of their identity.
A study of Bordeaux suggests that climate change
could actually improve French wine.
So that's some good news there.
Is that Prosecco?
Is that our Prosecco?
Yeah.
No, that's Italian.
Same area. Same Italian. Same area.
Same Europe.
Same Europe.
Spirits are likely to get more expensive.
No, thank you.
Obviously, like we said with whiskey,
grain shortages and also water scarcity.
I'm all right, thank you.
But thank you for offering.
And yeah, do you reckon wines could get sweeter
while others will become poisoned
with the ashtray flavour
of wildfire smoke taint?
What a sentence.
Poisoned with the ashtray.
Is that wildfire and taint?
Because I won't drink something that tastes like taint.
I don't want a taint flavoured wine.
It's wildfire taint.
What does the arsehole of a wildfire taste like?
Very dusty.
Very burnt.
Like your burnt toast.
Wow. You can scrape that off though.
This is devastating.
What are we going to drink?
What's good? What's
staying? I was just going to say pals
but again that's your spirits
and that's going to be affected.
Sugary drinks again.
That already tastes a bit like taint. But that's, again, that's your spirits. And that's going to be affected. Sugary drinks? In the long run.
That already tastes a bit like taint.
Yeah.
Pals.
Sweet taint. Fizzle taint.
Is that the new beige one?
Taint.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Vodka, yuzu and taint.
I did wonder what the new beige.
It'll have to be like, you know how it's like Hawke's Bay oranges? Yes, yes, yes, yes. It'll have to be like, you know how it's like Hawke's Bay oranges.
Yes, yes, yes.
It'll have to be like New Plymouth taint.
New Plymouth?
Wow.
Oizo soybeans and New Plymouth taint.
Yes, soybeans and New Plymouth taint.
That's a hell of a, I mean, they, you know,
I think when you're the leader of the RTD game,
you've got to take some risks.
Yeah, exactly.
And this, I would say, their new flavour is a big risk.
Because you know you'll never be better than a Smirnoff Double Black.
Ice cold.
Ice cold, baby.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
From the self-driving ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Well, my mum is taking her mum to Thames.
I believe it's pronounced Thames.
Yeah, it is.
Thames.
Yeah.
Thames.
Thames.
Thames.
Thames.
Very posh today.
And she said,
I will probably be in the car at some stage during your show.
So should we listen to it or not?
Ouch.
What are you doing? I was like, Jesus, I don't even know what's
happening pretty much before it happens,
so I can't tell you, but
maybe not. I don't know. Whatever you want.
So I thought today's top six
could be the top six things Marlene would like to hear
us talk about. Okay. My nan,
if she was to listen to the show. Jerry.
My papa, he's passed away now, but
every time I go and see him,
he's like,
now, when's that station you work for
going to start playing music I like?
Aww.
Which is a classic.
Classic.
He's passed away now,
but I think he'd love Doja Cat.
Yeah.
Ted would love the cabernets.
He would have been like,
I like that one, that's catchy.
Alright, the top six things Marlene would like to hear us talk about.
Number six, some in-depth coverage of the Warriors offseason.
And is 2024 really going to be our year?
Well, it wasn't this year, was it?
It was close.
Well, man, it felt like our year, though.
But it wasn't our year.
It wasn't our year.
But she loves the Warriors.
Yeah, she does.
Number five on the list of the top six things my nan would like to hear us talk about on the radio.
Some restaurants that don't want to put coriander, spice, rocket, bloody lettuce, pepper and shiitake mushrooms on everything.
Although she'd call them shit take mushrooms.
She will say it as she sees it.
Yeah.
And that says shit take.
Rocket lettuce.
Very nutty in there.
It is.
It's stringy.
Where's your iceberg?
Rocket's my number one.
Rocket's my number one.
Have we final ranked lettuces?
I don't know.
I think maybe we should.
See you on Friday.
I like chargrilled romaine.
Yeah, chargrilled romaine's beautiful.
Yeah.
But rocket number one for a salad.
I'd just rather have fries, to be honest.
Oh, yeah, if we're going spinach or fries.
Who's picking spinach over fries?
Will we be outlawing spinach?
Should we do leafy greens?
Baby spinach.
Leafy greens.
Let's rank leafy greens on Friday for final rankings.
Oh, mescaline or whatever it's called can get out.
Oh, no, mescaline.
Is that the one that's nutty and yuck?
No, no, no, that's rocket.
Okay, yeah.
Sometimes rocket in because it's in mescaline like a mix.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll talk more about this one.
Friday before a long weekend, I'm not talking about leafy greens.
Pencil in for some other time.
No, we're talking about leafy greens.
We're not wasting.
Leafy greens for a start on a Friday.
That's not a day for leafy greens.
We only rank on Fridays.
I'll see you there.
We'll see you there.
Prepare yourself.
Number four on the list of the top six things Marlene,
my nan, would like to hear us talk about on her trip to Thames today on the radio.
Why baristas won't give her a flat white the same temperature
as the sun? I want
it extra hot. Extra hot.
They love a hot coffee, don't they?
The hottest coffee. You know why?
I've kind of got this figured
out. If it's too cold, my mum
will drink it too quick and she's paid money for it
so she wants it to last.
Honestly, that's the reason my mum likes
coffee the hottest. Hot as the sun itself mum likes coffee. It'll burn the coffee, though.
Hot as the sun itself.
Number three on the list of the top six things my nan would like to hear us talk about on the radio.
Some bloody opinions that aren't afraid of offending woke lefties.
Yeah, that's right.
Afraid of offending the woke lefties.
Oh, yeah.
Number two on the list of the top six things
my nan would like to probably hear us talk about on the radio today.
Ram raids and why those bloody kids aren't either at home getting a hiding from mum and dad or on jail forever.
Maximum security.
Are we still ram raiding?
I don't know.
Me so.
I mean, I personally, you say we.
I was never ram raiding.
Yeah, I haven't for ages.
And number one on the list of the top six things
my nan would probably like to hear about on the radio
on her drive to her appointment today.
What horse races are happening today and tomorrow
and where they're happening and what horses are playing,
what for a win or a place,
and I'd also like some Quinella and some trifecta.
Yeah, for me, yeah, yeah.
We're not talking about that on the radio.
That's never going to work.
A radio station with horse races.
We could do a horse segment.
Which track are we at today?
Where are we?
Soft Scratchings the lot.
The old people would love it.
Everybody else would be like, meh.
That is today's top six.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Apparently.
Now, because I always feel like we equate eating dinner early
with either people with really young kids
or old people.
Oh, they love a five.
They love a 5 p.m.
I eat dinner at like 4 o'clock.
Yes, but you get up at 4 o'clock in the morning.
Your whole day is shuffled forward.
I mean, you have lunch at like 10.30 sometimes.
I'm having dinner at like 4, 4.30, 5.
Sometimes 10 a.m. he's having a catering platter of sushi, isn't he?
Yes, he is.
All to himself.
They say, oh, is this for a staff meeting?
Yeah.
When he gets his sushi and he's like, no, this is one man's sushi.
They're like, oh, is that for the whole NZ me?
All the radio stations and the Herald and everything else?
I'm like, no, no, that's just me.
How one man spends $1,000 a day on sushi, I'll never understand.
Yeah.
It's $1,000 a day.
I don't think so.
Well, apparently eating early is on the rise with Gen Zers, millennials.
We're loving it.
We're coming on board with the 5 p.m. dinner reservation.
So a lot of, this is from America,
but a lot of restaurants are claiming that their reservations for 5, 5.30
have been like huge.
And the reservations for your 8 p.m.s. Have been like huge and the reservations
for your 8pm's
even in New York,
city that never sleeps,
are on the decline.
Really?
Yeah, so people are just
loving it,
going to dinner early.
America lives a late life.
Like,
their prime time TV hours
aren't till 9.
8, 9, yeah.
And their talk shows
and stuff.
All their talk shows
come on at like 11,
11.30 at night.
Yeah.
Just wild. I've never watched night. Yeah. Just wild.
I've never watched them.
Yeah, I know.
Even when I worked like afternoons, I'd still be in bed by like 11.
Yeah.
10.30, 11.
Yeah, yeah.
So the reason they think this has happened is due to the new kind of hybrid work set up.
Working from home, working from the office.
Right.
More flexible to like,
because if you're working in town,
5pm, finish, get home,
shower, change, get ready.
Oh, you wouldn't just stay in town
and go straight out.
Well, I mean, sometimes.
I don't know.
I'm just hypothesising here.
And then by the time you get out,
you're like, well, if I finish work at 5,
7's probably a good time to meet for din. Yep. Whereas they're going, people can knock off early,
leave the house a lot earlier than before because they're already home when they finish their work
day, head out for a five. So you just go straight out the door, get ready and go. Plus when you're
all cooped up in your house all day, the thing, you know, it's nice that you're immediately like,
oh, I want to leave. I've got to get out of here. Let's go have early dinner. That's why I can't
understand that people want to work from home.
I mean, I guess the commute, if you had a big, massive commute for two hours a day.
I feel triggered by the idea of working at home.
Yeah.
Oh, it was awful.
I hated it.
But then, I mean, you get invited to dinner sometime, and they're like, it'll be 7.38.
You're like, I'm not coming.
Normal people.
Normal friends, eh?
They're like, we've booked for 8.
And I'm like, booked the Uber home?
For eight?
Are you kidding me?
If I'm having an eight o'clock dinner, I've got to have a 5pm schnayak.
Which turns into quite a big...
Oh, then there's going to be a cheese board.
Yeah.
If it's going to be an eight.
Yeah, and I'll get my fill as well at five.
And then eat barely nothing at eight.
That's good.
That saves money when you go out.
I love it.
I just bloody love it.
And then you're done and then you're like, shoot,
well, I guess I'll brush my teeth and go to bed.
Or get home and have a tub of ice cream.
Yeah.
That too.
That too.
Nice, beautiful segue.
Oh, my God.
Did you see I literally spiked the ball?
No, you did too much.
No, you didn't.
You didn't spike the ball.
You hit it in the net.
No, you let the ball.
You hit it in the net.
He let the ball drop.
No, the ball didn't drop.
You just, no, you spiked it straight in the the net and hit the net and then fell on the ground.
Not even Hayley hasn't even been doing this long.
But watch this.
Less spike.
Less spike.
I will give the same amount of spike.
Less spike.
Hayley, let's show Vaughn how it's done.
No, no, no.
I will give you the...
You have dinner at 5 o'clock.
And then I'll give you the better spike.
Okay.
You have dinner at 5 o'clock.
It's amazing.
You're done.
And then maybe even get home and have a tub of ice cream. Oh my God, speaking of ice cream. No, you've over spiked it. You've just at five o'clock. It's amazing. You're done. And then maybe even get home and have a tub of ice cream.
Oh, my God.
Speaking of ice cream.
You've just shed all over me there.
The best way you could be like, then get home.
And I don't know, you might be peckish.
What could they possibly better eat?
Oh, that's so lead a horse to water.
Jesus.
That's me.
It goes up now.
Now you're setting it.
No, it's not.
Please don't speak over a woman again either.
Thank you.
I don't know who you identify as such. I do apologise. Thank you. That was very rude. I didn't know you identified as such.
I do apologise.
Thank you.
On behalf of us two, thank you.
Let's do this again.
Clean.
Okay.
Just stay out of it, Vaughan.
I'll stay out of it.
Okay.
So you have dinner at five o'clock
and then you're basically done with the day.
Maybe get home, have an entire tub of ice cream.
Funny, Fletch.
Next, I want to talk about ice cream
because Tip Top's made a wild move
that's going to upset all the listeners.
It was too much.
It was too much.
Stay tuned next for shocking ice cream news.
See, that was really good, Vaughan.
Why didn't you do that?
This will rock your world.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, I mean, screw Halloween.
I'm ready for Christmas.
I'm so ready for Christmas.
Talking with my whānau about Christmas plans, what we're doing.
Already thinking about gifts, a.k.a. I'm not doing it this year.
Well, it's getting to that point of the year where it's X amount of paydays.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, true.
Like, think about that.
I don't want to. 67 days away think about that I don't want to
67 days away from Christmas
67 days away from Christmas
Now I mentioned yesterday
I've never had a Christmas tree
We've been doing our home and our extension
And I was like, this is the house that I get
My first ever Christmas tree, that's mine
Not just my parents
And I sort of mentioned that Aaron was sort of
Not really commenting on that anymore,
which is his way of sort of slowly removing himself from the yes party into a no party.
Yeah.
Well, a couple of things we need to address.
Yeah.
One, I said yesterday I'm not sure whether to get a fake tree or a real tree.
Vaughan promised me that the place that he gets his trees from have really fluffy, bushy
trees. Because when I think of a real
tree, you know, I think of those
ones you used to get in the 90s and they were skinny
and limp and they'd flop over and then you'd
put a bauble on and it goes...
We had one one year and Dad just bent the top over
because it was too tall. Too tall, yeah.
It didn't lop. It didn't lop and carve.
And then Fletch was like,
well, you know, if you've got a fake one,
you know, they fluff a bit more if I'm going for that fluffy look.
And then you sent me a link to a really fluffy fake tree.
Well, because Instagram heard us talking.
And then started advertising.
And because I sent it to you, now all I'm getting is Christmas ads.
Yeah, I know.
They hear whatever we're saying.
Oh, my God.
I'd hate it if they started advertising Jason Momoa nudes.
Jason shirtless. Jason Momoa.
Like you need that advertised to you.
Click on your explore page.
Yeah, there he is, he's nude.
Anyway, so now I don't know whether to go fake or real
because I'm worried, Vaughn,
what if yours are lank?
What if they're lank?
I don't want lank.
Ma'am, I'm insulted you would say so.
Do you have evidence of the fluffiness of these trees? I love the smell of the real trees.
Same, same, same.
Yeah.
Same.
And I'm also an eco-warrior, as you know.
Yeah, but you can't get them too early.
Because then they start to go back.
Last weekend of November, 1st of December,
1st weekend of December, and really you've got to water them,
check the water daily.
All sorts of fun.
Yeah, I know.
Whereas like the fake one, it's just perfect
and you put it in the garage and it's come out every year.
They're a real ball egg to set up and take down though.
Do you know what though?
If I get a fake one, Vaughan, it means I can have one every year.
Whereas like I don't want to have to have the conversation every year
with Aaron like time to get a tree.
He'll be like, not this year.
You make a tradition.
I've already got it.
Yeah, new traditions, new traditions.
Of going and picking the tree.
And you walk around the place I go and you have a long bamboo stick with a flag on the end.
And when you've found your one, you put it up and you wave it.
Do you?
Son!
And then they come over to you on the motorbike with their electric chainsaw and they cut it down and they put it on the trailer.
And they say, meet you back at headquarters.
And then you walk back all excited about your Christmas tree.
And you get there and you can get that wrap thing around it that makes it like all hold together if you want.
What does a Christmas tree cost?
They're not cheap.
No, okay.
Are they not?
But what does a fake one cost?
Well, if you want a really nice one,
they're a few hundred, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
How tall are you looking?
Not, well, I've got three metres stud.
Pause for applause.
Must be nice.
Oh, she's got a high ceiling.
Must be nice.
Must be nice.
Must be cold. Must be drafty in the winter a high ceiling Must be nice Must be nice Must be cold
Must be drafty in the winter
Must have been costly to build
Yeah well I don't know
Well here's the problem right
We could go like
I haven't told Aaron this
And God forbid he's listening
Builders
Builders
Tyler's
If you are listening to ZM right now Turn the radio off Three Two I haven't told Aaron this and God forbid he's listening. Builders, Builders, Tylers,
if you are listening to ZM right now,
turn the radio off.
Three,
two,
as of about 30 minutes ago,
I just bought all my decorations for the Christmas tree
because we were talking about it.
We were talking about the trees.
You forced his hand now.
And then I got interested in it
and then I went on Pinterest
and I saw a kind of style
that I liked
and I was like,
I wonder if I can find that in New Zealand.
I went on the farmer's website and I've bought, I'm going flor it and then I went on Pinterest and I saw a kind of style that I liked and I was like, I wonder if I can find that in New Zealand. I went on the farmer's website
and I've bought,
I'm going florals and birds.
Which is very us, right?
And very 12 Days of Christmas.
Yeah, oh yeah,
partridge in a pear tree.
I've got multiple partridges
in my pear tree.
And then will you mix in some baubles
so it still looks Christmassy?
Yeah, yeah.
So I've got some antique-y soldiers
because of the marching thing.
I've got a spiked kind of like,
what Madonna style thingy
and then birds and flowers and I just need a coupleiked kind of like, what Madonna style thingy?
And then birds and flowers.
And I just need a couple of like base scattery baubles and lights.
And she's set.
So if Aaron rules out a tree, you're just going to have a box of decorations.
It's ready to pick up.
Put it outside.
You've got trees outside.
Put it in the orange tree.
I just bought like fabric flowers and feathered birds.
Well, that was your silly fault for rushing into this.
No, I'm not rushing.
It was very much my aesthetic.
But now I'm like,
are the feathers and the flowers going to look better
on a fake tree or a real tree?
This is my dilemma.
Well, Christmas is happening for you.
It's definitely happening.
When are you telling Aaron that you've purchased this?
I won't.
Just wait until he's away.
His brother just texts me FFS.
I think he might notice.
Matthew, keep your mouth shut.
If you know what's good for you, Matthew, keep your mouth shut.
Don't you talk to your brother today.
Now, look, we've already talked about this, I think, last week,
that majority of marriages these days, I think 51%, 52% end in divorce.
Right?
Yeah. I've already been to
one, two,
only two weddings of friends that are now
divorced. But I'm in my early 30s.
I think I've been running at about a 50-50.
You were a 50-50 there for a while, yeah.
Yeah, really? Yeah. Of all the
weddings I've attended. That's what I mean.
Because you're slightly older than me. I
feel like that's going to happen. Yeah. It does. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes it's what I mean. Because you're slightly older than me. I feel like that's
going to happen.
Yeah.
It does.
Do you know what I mean?
And sometimes it's shocking.
You never see it coming.
Yeah.
What?
Yeah.
That's just life.
Well, there was a woman
who is quite mad
because she went to
three bachelorette parties
for her friend.
Three.
People are so extra.
Yeah.
Like, calm down.
People are so extra. Three bachel calm down. People are so extra.
Three bachelorette parties,
numerous other events,
probably an engagement party in there.
Probably, you know, dinner,
the rehearsal dinner the night before,
accommodation, da-da-da-da.
She reckons she shelled out thousands
to be at her friend's wedding.
Yeah.
To be in her friend's bridal party.
You're paying for dresses, whatnot.
Mm-hmm.
The marriage ended in just two weeks.
Two weeks. I'm sorry.
Wow, I wonder if it was the fact that that woman
had three bachelorette parties that was the clue
that she was going to be a nightmare.
Yeah.
So two weeks after the wedding, she was just like,
ugh, oh my God.
And the friend is like, well, this is really frustrating to me.
And the bride is really blasé.
She's like, actually, you know what?
Like, it just was a mistake and turned out to be a bit of a nightmare.
And so now she wants a refund because the woman shouldn't have gone through with the wedding in the first place.
Yeah, she said basically the guests funded a day for her to feel like a princess.
And it was never really about getting married.
She wanted the day to be like, oh, and then was like,
probably not this guy actually.
Two weeks.
Two weeks?
Yeah, and she's been with her friends laughing,
being like, classic me to get divorced within two weeks of getting married.
And everyone's like, I've paid thousands to be part of this wedding
and she wants her bloody money back.
At least do the right thing and wait two miserable years.
Yeah.
And then do it.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah, yeah.
And also the friend is saying, like, I kind of thought as well that he wasn't the right fit.
But who am I to stop you?
Like, if you're like the one who's going, I want to get married.
Two weeks.
If you're breaking up two weeks after a wedding, you know on the wedding day.
Oh, 100%.
It's not for you.
You shouldn't be doing it.
Yeah.
Trips to the UK for bottomless brunches,
dress try-ons, lunches, hotel for the wedding was $900
for a room to stay over
plus every other expense, wedding outfit, shoes,
bags. She's like, I want at least some of this back.
You had no intention of this wedding lasting. I'd cut the
friendship. Yeah. I'd dump the friendship.
Yeah, I don't want to be friends with this loose
nut. Yeah. Anyway, because I have a Yeah, I don't want to be friends with this loose nut. Yeah.
Anyway, because I have a friend many years ago who got married,
and I think they split within four weeks of getting married.
That's still very close.
Oh, yeah.
Because that's a whirlwind after your wedding.
Totally.
Because there's been so much planning up to, and then you do it,
and then it's just like this whirlwind
of the next few weeks.
Yeah.
And you might have
a honeymoon as well.
Yeah, well this was
one of those weddings
where it was the hope
was the wedding
would kind of
hold on to,
you know?
But, okay,
they should have
tried a couple of kids.
Does that save marriages,
does it?
Oh, famously.
If you're getting sick
of each other,
just bring in new people
to it by making them.
Bring in more children.
More stress.
Yeah. Oh, the stress will bring you together. It'll blow you to pieces. Famously If you're getting sick of each other Just bring in new people to it Bring in more children By making them More stress Yeah
The stress will bring you together
It'll blow you to pieces
If Aaron and I ever hit a bump in the road
I'll be sure to get knocked up
Yeah why not
Anyway
I mean
It happens
I want to know
Maybe we get some calls
And some messages in
How quickly was it over
After the wedding
Can you beat two weeks
Can you beat four weeks
Some people on the day Yeah Oh yeah Just go through with it And after the wedding? Can you beat two weeks? Can you beat four weeks? Some people on the day.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Just go through with it.
And at the end, they're like, oh, my God, this is a terrible mistake.
We're not signing this.
Oh, my God.
Imagine doing that thing and being like, I love you so much.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
I do.
I do.
In the eyes of the Lord, I now pronounce you.
Now, we're going to just go sign the papers.
Don't sign it.
What?
Do not sign it.
We need to talk. Move your hand. Move your hand. They're watching. Don't. Don't sign it. Don't sign it. What? Don't sign this. Do not sign it. Because I love the part where they're not.
Move your hand.
Move your hand.
They're watching.
Don't sign it.
We need to talk.
Oh my God, imagine.
Unclog the page
and pretend you're signing it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Witnesses, F off.
Get out.
Go.
Let's take your calls.
0800 DARS at Emma's number.
Call us now.
You can text through 9696.
Just how quickly
was it over after the wedding?
This is,
people are wild.
People are bloody wild out there. Some wild stories coming in. How quickly it was over after the wedding? This is, people are wild. People are bloody wild out there.
Wild stories coming in.
How quickly it was over after the wedding.
Yeah.
A lot of cheating.
God, I feel like all we've heard about is cheating recently.
My cousin was, this text message is in,
my cousin was with her fiance for nine years before they got married.
They were divorced within five months.
It was one of those classic this, this, and this will change once we're married,
but none of it did because it was established
behaviours. Marriage is just a piece
of paper and a lot of debt, isn't it?
I just heard myself, yeah I can see
why Aaron's not like running.
You need one of those clickers
if you want to change behaviour.
You speak to them with a firm voice
and when they do it they're told you give a click
and a treat and then eventually you
stop giving the treat and you just do the clicks.
No, don't do that to your partner.
And then they respond to the clicks.
You're somewhat manipulative.
I'm pretty sure it works on dogs and partners.
What about the shock collar?
Does that work on them as well?
It really does.
Some people frown upon it.
I'm like, hey, babe, I'm just going out for a couple of drinks again.
The fence line.
What the hell?
I'm just going for a look of drinks again. Psst. The fence line. What the hell? I'm just going for a look at the shops.
Psst.
Grrr.
Yeah.
Okay.
And that works both ways.
I'm just off to play golf.
You're not going to see me for, I don't know, the weekend.
And when I come back, I'm going to be a hungover piece of shit.
Get inside.
You are not going to golf again.
Some other ones.
My maid of honour decided to wait till just after the wedding
to tell me she was having an affair with my new husband.
Cut both of them off immediately.
So from wedding to time of complete cut off under two months.
How could you stand at someone's wedding when you're the maid of honour
and you're sleeping with the groom?
Fell in love with my husband's best friend a while before our wedding
but suppressed the feelings he was best man at the wedding.
On the night of the wedding, I couldn't take my eyes or hands off him.
Oh.
Four weeks later, we hooked up and have been together since,
just going on 20 years.
Look, you'd say there's an overlap.
But there's a big, thick overlap there.
Big one. Could you start a big, thick overlap there. Big one.
Could you start a relationship with an overlap?
Someone when they were already with someone else?
Because then would you always be thinking, they can do this to me?
Yeah, you're starting in a place of like, you are capable of this.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
We've been through this.
I'm not of the mindset that once a cheater, always a cheater.
I don't really believe that.
My cousin got married the night of the wedding.
They had a pretty big fight, and it was pretty much over from there.
A guy I was groomsman for.
Fighting on your wedding day?
Yeah.
Oh.
Sad.
It's supposed to be lovely.
God, what happens when you don't have enough catering at a wedding?
Hungry, hangry.
People get hungry. Hangry, hangry. People get hungry.
Hangry, I'm in a tight dress.
Don't look at me with those little fat eyes.
Feed people up.
Guy I was groomsman for, so the next day they started off on their honeymoon.
Day three after they were married, while they were away on the honeymoon, it all fell to bits.
On the honeymoon, you're in a nice place.
You're in Fiji, darling.
Darling, relax.
My cousin's marriage lasted six weeks
because it turned out
the bride had got
the hots for the person
that taught them
their wedding dance.
Oh my gosh.
Or like a hot
Latino dance instructor.
I'm going to teach you
how to do your wedding dance.
May I put my hand
on the small of your back?
Let's see.
And now I pull you right in.
And we do the tango.
Or some of these are long,
so you kind of like how trashy is it going to get halfway through.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've also heard stories like this where people are going to think
marriage is going to solve all their issues
and they're having major problems
and then they add on top of their already existing major problems
organising a very hard-to-organise event
and a very, very expensive event,
so you're just chucking more piles of water on a fire.
And when it does come to a head,
it often happens straight afterwards when it clucks over.
Did you read this one?
Day after the wedding.
At the barbecue the next day.
Always a barbecue.
I never go to the barbecue.
I don't go to the barbecue.
I don't want to go to the barbecue. Not unless there's beautiful to the barbecue. I don't go to the barbecue. I don't want to go to the barbecue.
Not unless there's beautiful,
beautiful food. I don't want to lose kids there. I'm more than likely going to be hungover. Enjoy your barbecue.
It's out of the way. Yeah, I'm going to be just
pottering around whatever town I'm in. Yeah, exactly.
The day after the wedding, at the
barbecue, everyone had a few drinks
so the bridal party
was staying the night
with the groom, the groomsman.
The groom found the bride snuggled up with his best man.
They used to be together years earlier, had broken up, but were still friends and a new couple.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
And the spark was there the next day.
And it was a very big expensive wedding.
Next day, you're literally at your own barbecue.
How many drinks do you have to have to be like, this is all right?
Guys.
Snuggled up.
People are there.
Wild.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Tomorrow, the Fletchvorn and Hayley live show at Sky City Theatre.
Hayley's version.
There'll be a live performance of a new song to Doja Cat's
Paint the Town Red.
That's right.
I'm not going to tell you
what it's about
because you're going to leave
some things to tease
and if it goes down well
on Thursday,
perhaps,
perhaps,
if it goes down well,
I will treat
the rest of our listeners
to it on Friday.
Yeah.
Only if they demand it though.
I'll just sit here and wait.
Oh my God. So this whole live show thing, though. I'll just sit here and wait. Oh, my God.
So this whole live show thing is tomorrow,
and I'm just like, I don't know, I've just kind of,
I know it's happening, but it's tomorrow,
and there's going to be so many people.
Like, when we do the radio show, it's just us in the room,
and we can see the producers, and that's it.
Yeah.
But there's going to be, like, a massive crowd of people.
Yeah.
And you are just laughing it up.
I am fizzing about it.
And I'm just like.
No, it's so much fun.
The energy you get from a crowd, it's going to be amazing.
We're just going to have a blast.
Right.
Well, there is some horrific sexism that we need to discuss.
This is ridiculous.
No, I nearly, I just nearly swore.
I nearly said F you, sir.
I nearly said F you.
I just got asked.
I asked you. I offered. I didn said F you, sir. I nearly said F you. I just got asked. I asked you.
I offered.
I didn't fit anything from Moochie.
I know.
I didn't say from Moochie.
It's a Moochie.
I'm not wearing Moochie.
So you have sourced for the girls.
What are you guys wearing was what we were asked about it.
I don't know.
Jeans and a nice t-shirt.
No, I suggested a shirt.
I suggested a shirt. Well, I don't do shirts. But you're at the Teatra, darling. Jeans and a nice t-shirt. No, I suggested a shirt. I suggested a shirt.
Well, I don't do shirts.
But you're at the Te Atra, darling.
I never wear a shirt.
You're on a big, beautiful stage.
But the times you do wear a shirt, you look lovely, both of you.
When have you seen me wear a shirt?
You haven't.
We went to the Pi Awards and you wore a tuxedo.
Yeah, but I'm not wearing a suit.
I've drawn a line in a suit.
We're sitting down a lot on a couch.
I'm not wearing a suit
you wear shirts
without suits
Vaughn
yeah you wear
a linen shirt
when do I wear
a linen shirt
I've seen you
in a linen shirt
on your island
on television
that doesn't count
that wasn't my choice
they were like
and that's why
that show got cancelled
because I looked
so uncomfortable
the entire time
it did
I did that
and a terrible host
because I got drunk and I told them.
You got drunk with the commissioner at TVNZ.
And I gave him a piece of my mind.
Anyway.
And then just coincidentally the show didn't get renewed.
Maybe that's a coincidence.
This is an off-air chat that has somehow made it on-air.
Look, the thing is, I've got a relationship with Moochie.
I'm a Moochie girl.
I love them. I with Moochie. I'm a Moochie girl. I love them.
I love Moochie.
And they've been dressing me for a few on-air things
and television jobs recently.
And when they saw the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley live show,
they messaged me and said,
we would love to dress you for the show.
Why has no one messaged Vaughan and I?
This is sexism.
I've just been sent some new 65-year anniversary red band gumboots.
And I'm wearing them.
You can't.
They are crisp.
They are fresh.
They've got no mucky poo on them.
It doesn't matter how fresh they are.
They are.
And I said to Sade, she's like, Sade said, what's in the box?
And I said, it's Gwyneth Paltrow's head.
Weird movie reference.
I said.
It's great.
What's in the box?
What's in the box?
What's in the box?
And I said, the shoes that I'm wearing to the live show.
And I flipped them open and they're red bands.
And she was like, you absolutely cannot.
And I was like, well, now you've cemented it.
I will be.
I kind of feel like it would suit you to wear a swan dry in your gumboos.
What are you doing?
How hot is this cinema?
What are you doing?
How hot is this movie place?
What is it?
Sky City Theatre.
Sky City Theatre.
It's a beautiful theatre.
It's not little. How does it get hot on the stage? You'll get a little City Theatre. It's a beautiful theatre. It's not little.
How does it get hot on the stage?
You'll get a little bit hot.
There goes a swan drink.
I once was on that stage doing a show and I was so hot and I was sitting at a desk
and I had to get cans of sparkling water and put them between my legs to help me cool down.
I was really hot.
Okay, get some ice packs.
I did.
This was like, it was a Seven Days Live or something,
and I had to jam in these things.
Because we went to Moochie, and Moochie was like,
we'll dress the girls as well,
because the producers are going to be on stage.
So the three of us went, and we got all dressed up.
Now, producer Jared doesn't need to worry about this,
because I've put in a special request that he wear his Minion outfit.
Yeah, but if you guys get hooked up with some clothes,
can I get hooked up with some
minion clothes or something? Well, Jarrod, no, you can't.
Just to paint the picture, the girls are looking hot.
There's no story. Yeah, man, well, just hold on
and log on to NZ Minions. Hey, guys.
And we're really out for
minions. Another minions outfit
for Alfred Schuster. You've already got your dungarees.
You've got the goggles. Yeah.
And you're looking great. Are you wearing the goggles?
Yeah. And the yellow beanie. I can wear the goggles and the yellow beanie. Are you wearing the goggles? And the yellow beanie?
I can wear the goggles and the yellow beanie.
Okay, we're going in costume.
We're going in costume.
We're not going in costume. Should we be minions?
Or you should wear big Gru again.
I'll be a minion if you're Gru.
No.
You guys, I'm wearing like a silk set.
It's like a shirt pant, like an elevated pyjama.
Right.
Right, with a full hair.
We're getting full hair and makeup.
I could wear this green t-shirt,
but it's got a permanent stain.
You've got to mark it on.
It's got a permanent stain.
I said to you that our makeup artist, Shari,
would be able to source you guys
a lovely shirt from Barker's
or some other sponsor.
I don't do shirts.
I don't want a nice shirt.
It'll be too nice.
I said when I got to Mochi,
they said, what do you want to wear?
And they're bringing out these.
And I said, well, I'm going to be sat next to
two absolute casual farmers.
It's cancelled.
The live show's cancelled if we can't come to some sort of agreement.
Guys, I'll pull the plug right now.
I'll pull the plug.
Don't cancel this.
I'm all hyped up for some attention.
Hayley is actually needing the attention.
I'm all geared up.
If I don't get it.
Everybody with tickets will get a full refund.
No, absolutely.
You can wear jeans and a nice T-shirt.
Well, to the people that are able, who got the tickets,
who are excited to see us tomorrow.
Don't expect shirts, is all I'm saying.
One of us on the main couch is going to look really, really nice
and swish and good and put in a lot of effort,
as you would do for the theatre.
And two of us are going to look a little bit cash.
And I'll be wearing whatever EB Games has on their parents' rack.
Oh, Vaughan.
Because I love going there and buying a Pokemon shirt.
I'm calling your wife.
I'm literally calling Sade.
Pokemon shirt, red band gumboots, comfy jeans.
That's me, baby.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
Very confusing moment in the group chat yesterday.
The work group chat where things get organised.
And we just chat all day long.
Yeah. You said that like all day long. Yeah.
You said that like that was a bad thing.
Aaron's always like, don't you guys
spend enough time together? I was like,
the chat pops all day.
Always on. Always on.
Some things work related, some things
humour related, some things, hey look at me, I'm in
my backyard related. I sent that video
of the cat. My neighbour's got a cat.
I sent that. All I saw when you did's got a cat. I sent that in the UK.
All I saw when you did that was your neighbour talking to you and you completely ignoring your neighbour and patting the cat.
No, I was multitasking.
You did a terrible job at it.
I was multitasking.
Terrible job at it.
I was taking a video.
What time did this start?
Sort of in the afternoon, wasn't it?
Around 3.30?
So a couple of days ago, you got an email from someone that works in PR at the National Party.
Oh, and I got a text from someone I used to work with.
Yeah.
Yeah, saying, do you want to interview Christopher Luxton?
Christopher Luxton.
And I politely, because we made the decision for the election.
We're not doing any politics because anytime you have anyone on from any party,
you get 4,000 messages and it's just not fun.
We just want to have a laugh.
It also wasn't everyone's favourite election,
so we were like, let's just be the escape from it all.
Yeah.
And so I was just like, look, soz, but not this time.
We're not talking to anyone.
Probably the reason Labour lost, actually.
It's where our mouthpiece
is for the left.
This is the sort of thing
you get anytime you talk
about anything political.
It's us, we did it.
So I politely declined that.
Well, no, I think
you completely ignored it.
Yeah, that is politely
declined.
That's a polite decline.
Also, they were offering you
a spot, offering you
him to pop in
at a radio station
we worked at
over 10 years ago.
Yeah.
So I politely declined
by ignoring it. So then
Jared and our old producer
Anna, who left coming up two years
ago, got an email offering the same
thing. A chat with
Prime Minister-elect Christopher Larkson.
And that
email came to Jared
and he said, I've just got this email and that was
at about three o'clock yesterday.
Carwin.
It was you.
It was Carwin.
The next message is Carwin going, effort, let's get him on.
Ha, ha, ha.
And Jared said, 8.15 tomorrow morning.
And Carwin says, perf, as in perfect.
We always make a joke about 8.15.
Because when something funny happens in our day, we always go, guys, 8.15. I've got something, as in perfect. We always make a joke about 8.15 because when something funny happens in our day,
we always go, guys, 8.15.
I've got something, 8.15,
which means I've got a hot bit of something.
So when Jared said 8.15, I was like, straight up,
that's the tone of joking.
That's funny.
Yeah.
Let's get Chris on.
Jared says, Primo, I'll flick your email next time.
And then he said, Lux, then locked in, 8.15.
Yeah, and it was so quick. It was like, that's so funny, as Lux then locked in 8.15. Yeah,
and it was so quick
it was like,
that's so funny
as if you locked it
in that quick.
And I said,
wait a minute,
are we effing around
because we just spent
months not talking
about politics?
Yeah.
And Gerard said,
I didn't think so
and Hayley said,
wait,
hang on,
I thought this was a gag.
And Fletch said,
I can't wait to see
Drillum if he actually
believes dinosaurs existed or not. Feeling? The gag part. He's feeding on the gag. and Fletch said I can't wait to see Drillum if he actually believes
dinosaurs existed or not
feeling
the gag vibe
he's feeding on the gag vibe
he's gagging
he's gagging
and then Hayley's like
oh my god
it's raining so heavy
at my house
we can get into that
distraction
then I'm like
look at this photo
I just took of my
isolated shower
from the gym window
that's
everyone I've showed
that photo to
has been impressed by
the isolation of the shower.
See, now I've distracted the group chat and I've hooked
in Vaughn into my distraction.
Let's get back to the business.
And Jared said, wait a minute, was it Bantz?
I didn't read it and Bantz toned up my head
and Hayley said, oh my God, I love this so much.
I think referring to the picture of my reign.
And then she said, wait a minute,
is this happening? And I said, yes, I just took the photo
and she's like, like no the Luxon thing
and then
Jared's like
is everybody across
and then puts in the tild
now the tild
I use with
close friends
and a group chat
Jared's in
it's the sarcasm tild
you put it before a statement
I see I've never heard that
that's heavy sarcasm
and he said
I'm not blaming anyone
but myself
but I just think
the tild makes it easier
and then everyone's like oh my god sorry and Fletch is like wait a minute wait are we joking And he said, I'm not blaming anyone but myself, but I just think the TILD makes it easier.
And then everyone's like, oh, my God, sorry.
And Fletch is like, wait a minute.
Wait, are we joking?
Are you joking or not?
And Hayley said, I'm not sure if we're joking.
I'm out because I'm trimming hedges, baby.
I'm doing some manual labour.
I come in, there's 100 new chats.
There's voice notes and everything.
Jared's like, I misread the situation.
I booked him in. Wait, so you actually booked in the Prime Minister-elect
for now on the radio show today?
Yeah, I booked him in within like three minutes.
It was the fastest I've ever moved in my life.
Like, amazing, to be fair, amazing producing from your side.
I mean, well done.
The speed at which you locked this in.
You're off the clock, baby.
Yeah, I know.
Look, it never stops.
Always working. And so obviously at this moment, You're off the clock, baby. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Look, it never stops. Always working.
And so obviously at this moment,
we're like, absolutely not.
Because Jared sent a little voice memo
being like, hey guys, this is on me.
I totally misread the tone.
I've locked him in.
I'll pop an email just to cancel that.
Now, he's doing a lot of media rounds today
and apparently this was the only window he had for us.
So Jared said, unfortunately, at that time, we're very busy.
With this break, you are hearing right now.
I think Jared threatened us saying,
Luxon's going to be in the building.
If he hears this shit banter in place of an interview with him,
he's going to be deeply offended.
I'm never going to get knighted.
No, you're never going to get a knighthood horn
for services to gaming.
You're never going to get it.
He gets no say in that.
Prime Minister gets no say in who gets those.
Really?
Now, see, during this time...
You're back on for a knighthood.
You're back on.
Sarcasm tilled.
You're back on for a knighthood.
We're being sarcastic.
Now, during this time, right,
I'd sent Perth, jokingly,
and then popped onto a very important Zoom call.
So I wasn't seeing any of these messages.
And then I get a personal message from Jared and I go,
and it says it's a gif.
And I go, that's weird.
And it's a little gif being like, um.
And so then I was like, wait, what?
Because usually if we're going to book something like that
and it's gone to Jared instead of me,
Jared will be like, here's Carwin, she'll sort you out.
So I didn't think he was going to like that.
But he's dealing with the new prime minister in high demand.
He's actioning quickly.
He's going, I can't miss this, can't let the ball slip.
Exactly, and I appreciate that great producing, as we've said.
But read the time, Hon.
Read the time.
Yeah, yeah, Hon.
I put a little squiggly line in front of that. Yeah, let's put some squiggly lines. We're going to use the time, Hon. Read the time. Yeah, yeah, Hon. I put a little squiggly line in front of that.
Yeah, let's put some squiggly lines.
We're going to use the sarcasm tool.
This is where a lot of things are lost in the text-based.
Yeah.
You don't get to hear the tone of the voice.
So sarcasm tool.
This is actually just a great break to tell everybody about the sarcasm tool.
Start of the sentence.
Yeah.
Always the start of the sentence.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
And it's stamp or philatelist week.
Philatelist.
Philatelist.
As a stamp collector, a fan of stamps.
I don't know if Hayley and I have been completely on board with stamp week,
but you've been receiving a lot of correspondence from philatelists.
It's one of those ones where people that are philanges, philatelics,
that are into it are into it.
So I've been getting emails.
I got an email yesterday from Daniel
who works for
Flalelic Distributors
in New Plymouth.
Oh, beautiful.
In New Plymouth.
We love New Plymouth.
We love New Plymouth.
You love New Plymouth.
And he said,
great work on Stamp Week.
Oh, great.
Well, you know what?
I'm happy for things
to not always be for me
or about me
for five minutes of each day.
Now could you explain that to Fletch? Five minutes of each day for five minutes of each day five minutes of each day
five minutes of each day sorry i don't comprehend i'm not non-comprehending yeah sorry see puppy
non-comprehending he said if you're seriously gonna do stamp facts all week i've got a couple
of good ones right here in altero in new zealand the first is i heard you talk about the world's
most expensive stamp well what about new zealand's most expensive stamp. Well, what about
New Zealand's most expensive stamp?
Oh my God,
what about it, Voo?
Because the most expensive
New Zealand stamp,
and then he says in brackets,
without getting technical,
although I wouldn't have
minded if it got technical.
Without getting,
what is,
okay.
It was for the,
it is the 1949 HMS Vanguard
stamp.
It was a stamp
that was made
for a royal tour of New Zealand
that was cancelled at the last minute until it never happened. Because of COVID. Okay. Stamp. It was a stamp that was made for a royal tour of New Zealand that was cancelled at the last minute and the tour never happened.
Because of COVID.
Okay.
Yeah.
King George got sick.
The Queen's father got sick.
Was he the stuttering one?
Yes.
The King's speech.
The King's speech one.
Correct.
Great history.
Good knowledge.
Good knowledge.
Well, I also learned that they had all this stuff,
sort of a government house for this visit that never happened.
Right.
Because, of course, when a royal visit was happening back in the day,
the preparation was, you know, years in the making.
Oh, yeah, you don't use your bloody Kmart cutlery.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Everything was made especially for it.
And there was like these chairs that were a government house
that were made by the mayoresses from around New Zealand.
Your Kmart chip plates would have had to been replaced for the Queen's visit.
Oh, my God, it would be so bad.
I like to keep it real.
Not even good enough for us, let alone the King.
Those also weren't Kmart plates.
Those were Briscoe's plates.
Oh, right.
They had real Kmart energy just because of all the chips.
Yeah.
So I'm almost now, well, we've got the plates.
I'm seeing how long they last.
Yeah, totally.
It's a different game now.
One's got a visible crack through it.
And I'm like, how many more goes through the dishwasher are you going to get?
Your wife has still not invited Hayley and I back for any kind of dinner.
We've literally never been invited back for dinner.
Ever since we mentioned the chip plants.
We were actually cleaning the pool the other day and the girls were helping me.
Yeah.
And they pulled a cork out of the pool and they held it up and they were like,
ha, another sign from the night that Hayley and that came.
And then walked inside, and they were like,
guess what we just found and held up a cork,
and Shardie looked, and she looked confused,
and they were like, we all know where this is from.
Did it have Rufino on it?
Yeah, definitely a Rufino cork.
It was.
Multiple reasons you're not getting invited back.
So the stamp was made for the royal tour that was cancelled at the last minute and it never happened. So then
the post offices like destroyed those stamps. Oh.
Why? Which they were apart from a few that a guy in charge of the destroying
them took them home and popped in his pocket. But why couldn't you just use them?
Because I guess it was just the pomp and ceremony of it all. It was going to be released on the day they arrived
and the vanguard was the ship they were coming on,
and there was another in the set.
There was who became the queen?
Princess Elizabeth at the time, and her sister who was?
Anne.
Mary Kate.
Margaret.
Mary Kate.
Mary Kate and Ashley.
That's it.
That's who were on the steps.
No, she's Margaret, right?
Margaret and Elizabeth.
Yeah, because her oldest daughter's Anne.
Yes.
Yes, right.
Still haven't seen
Those seasons of The Crown
So I'm a little bit behind guys
Right
The best one is
Well it's also just history
It's not just a TV show
It's crazy
Mary-Kate and Elizabeth Olsen
Go to Paris
Yeah it actually happened
Really
Yeah
Have we heard about The Crown
Are they going to have
A ghost of Princess Diana
In the next season
Mary-Kate dies in the tunnel
No
No
Mary-Kate's still alive. It's the one that played
the Scarlet Witch, the third Olsen.
Okay.
Man, I have got to catch up
with the crown. You've got to keep up with these royals.
So the Vanguard,
the HMS Vanguard stamps. Wait, they had Netflix in
1945. Only the rich people.
Yeah, but it was the ones we had to email you, get
a DVD sent to you in the post. Right.
Okay. And then you had to go to the cinema to see it.
Right.
Okay.
So the guy that was in charge of destroying them took them.
Sneaky bugger.
Hence, there's only a few.
If you are ever in charge of destroying something, always keep a copy.
Because of something.
Always keep a few.
Always keep a copy.
The last one sold for $67,850.
Oh, wow.
Sorry, how much?
$67,850 for a New Zealand stamp.
70K?
Yep.
That's ridiculous.
That's a house deposit.
Isn't that good stuff?
That's good stuff.
On a stamp.
Just one stamp.
One stamp.
Yes.
Not even a collection of stamps.
No, the one stamp.
HMS Vanguard.
All the flatatatists are like, who's laughing now?
Yeah.
You laughed at us collecting these stamps.
Who's laughing now?
And Daniel also said,
if you ever do a trading card week,
hit me up.
No, we're all good.
Thank you, Daniel.
Your time's done.
So absolutely full of facts.
So we'd like to thank Daniel
and the rest of the people there
in New Plymouth
at the Philophathic Distributors.
Pythagoras Theorems and whatnot.
Yeah, all of those guys
for that very interesting
locally homegrown fact of the day
that New Zealand's most expensive stamp
was supposed to be destroyed.
It was a stamp of a ship
that the king was supposed to come on
and he never did.
And it last sold for $67,000.
Fact of the day, day, day,y, lives in the Wairarapa, which is about an hour over the Nemataka Hills from Wellington, right?
Yeah.
And yesterday she called me and we were chatting
and I had her on speakerphone because I've got nothing to hide
from these boys in front of me.
I've got nothing to hide.
We love Patsy.
We love Patsy.
And she, you.
Anyway, so I had her on the blower and she was like,
hey, I'm just heading over the hill so I might cut out.
Neck minute, like immediately cut out.
I was like, that's all right.
She goes over the hill, you lose reception.
And then I think, Vaughn, you said,
what's she going over the hill for?
Meaning why is she popping over to Wellington?
Yeah.
What's she going over there for?
I was like, she's getting a haircut.
You're like, why is she going all the way over to Wellington
to get a haircut?
Classic mum move.
Classic mum move. Classic mum move.
To travel to a hair appointment because they've got the hairdresser they like.
Yes.
I was going to say, is it a hairdresser that she's always gone to?
Yeah.
My parents used to live in Wellington City.
Yeah.
And so when they moved over the hill, she kept her appointment with this hairdresser
because she knows how she likes it.
My mum's like, she's got real short kind of rock and roll shaggy hair.
I love it.
Yeah.
And her hairdresser does it well.
But where they live, there are hairdressers.
Yeah, but she's not going to go to Masterton.
She's going to meet them.
I'm sure they've got a just card.
Those are some up and coming spots with some funky hairdressers.
Yeah, no, no, but she's not a Karen.
Do you know what I mean?
She doesn't want to like, my mum doesn't want to look
like an old lady.
Yeah.
She doesn't want
old lady short hair.
She wants funky,
cool lady hair.
Right, so she's kept
her appointments.
What other appointments
has she still got over the hill?
Well, she was having
a little laser.
She gets a laser?
Well, she likes to keep
it nice and tidy.
Good for her.
She is a funky mum.
She is a funky mum.
She's got a hell of a set of legs.
It would be such a shame
to like go all the way up
and have it ruined.
Beautiful set of trunks.
We don't want the legs.
I've always said about your mum,
beautiful legs.
God, I'd be ashamed if I got to the top and there were pubes.
Oh, she's going to hate this.
I just want to say about everybody's mum.
She shouldn't feel special.
But also my mum.
God, your mum doesn't have pubes, does she?
Don't talk about my mum.
That's just outrageous to say out loud i've just never
even thought about it i mean who am i to say yeah i've got her chat open and very soon i'm
gonna see a dot dot dot in there as she starts typing she also um my mom has the same doctor
she had when i grew up which is an eastborn is miles away. It's like over the hill and then around.
So to drive from Wellington to my hometown of Eastbourne is about 40 minutes.
So she's going over the hill and then ducking in through the hut,
driving all around the base to Eastbourne to see her doctor.
But same thing.
She's like, I'm a woman.
I'm an older woman in her 60s now.
I'm not about to change doctors when I've got this doctor that I love and trust.
You might end up having to go to the doctor like every week when you get older.
Oh, it's good to go for a drive.
Oh, my God.
Nice to pop over the hill.
Yeah, you break something and you have to go a couple of times in a week.
That's two trips to Wellington.
A lot of petrol.
A lot of petrol.
A lot of petrol in the bloody Mercedes.
Anyway, pause for applause.
Pause for applause.
Not getting applause from Mercedes. We're not applauding. Pause for applause. We for applause. Not getting applause on Mercedes.
We're not applauding.
Pause for applause.
We're not applauding on Mercedes.
At least they know in the wider app,
but when it turns,
when we start eating the rich,
I mean, where are we starting?
She's got no hair to cut off.
Beautiful legs.
Yeah, beautiful legs.
We'll start with the legs.
Anyway.
No pubes to worry about.
Stop it.
Vaughan, have some respect.
Have some respect.
How would you like it if I started talking about your mother's boobs?
How about?
I don't know her maintenance.
I've never shared that information with her.
We want to know how far you or someone you know,
it's a real mum vibe.
Yeah, it is.
How far do you travel for an appointment?
Because you have your people.
Yeah.
Remember my doctor moved from Auckland to New Plymouth
and I literally was like,
I guess I'll just drive to New Plymouth.
How often do I need to see you?
Four and a bit hours each way.
And you'll perhaps hear whatever,
everything else I can do over the phone.
I thought about it.
Already a message is coming.
And we want to hear,
like if you're the hairdresser that they drive to see.
Yes.
Okay.
Are you that good?
Some wild stories coming through.
We're asking how far you travel for an appointment
because your mum, Hayley, the lovely Patsy.
Yes, she travels over.
She drives over the Rimutaka Hills from the Wairarapa to Wellington
to get a haircut.
And then drives all the way back.
Drives all the way back.
And goes to the doctor in Eastbourne.
Goes to the doctor in Eastbourne in Lower Hutt.
She gets it all done over in Wellington.
She just messaged me saying,
what are you saying?
I'm getting messages.
Well, you should be listening, man.
You should be listening to the show and you would know.
You try to decipher it from the Da Vinci Code of new messages.
Hannah, how far do you travel for an appointment?
So, I'm a bit crazy.
I have to admit, I travel from Hastings
to Christchurch for my tattoos.
See, tattoos I get because
it's an artist thing, right?
And they're so, like, specifically you like
that artist and it's on you for life.
I get that. Why not?
And it's already expensive.
It is, it is. And flying from
Napier to Christchurch is not cheap.
Oh yeah, actually that doesn't make much sense, does it?
Oh, yeah, that's difficult.
You're not the only one that's travelling.
Thanks, you're cool.
Renee, you brought flights for what?
So I brought flights to Auckland to go get my eyebrows tattooed,
and I live in Papamoa.
Jeepers.
Yeah, and then also the eyebrow
tattoo artist lives in Wellington
and she flies to Auckland
just to, like, service the
girls all in Auckland who want her work.
She must be good. The carbon footprint
of your bloody eyebrows. Yeah, but eyebrows
are integral to the face.
Yes, this was a year in the making
appointment. I booked a year in advance.
A year out?
How are the brows now?
Are they looking good?
Girl, I don't have to do a damn thing to them
for the rest of my life.
I just feel like next time I'm washing out a yogurt bottle
for recycling, I'm not going to be able to think
of anything other than your eyebrows, Renee.
No.
Eyebrows are everything.
People say on women, hair is everything,
eyebrows everything.
Good for you.
Well, I won't be scoffed at for burning my rubbish.
Renee, thank you. Sam,
your mum drives everywhere for
appointments?
Yeah, my mum's just like Hayley's mum.
We live in the Wairarapa, and
she drives to Wellington to
care,
dentist,
doctors, every
appointment, but she normally catches
the pensioner bus over.
Oh, it's free.
It's a good bus.
I couldn't ride on a bus
over that hill.
It would make me chunny.
Tight corners.
Very tight corners.
I'm out of that.
But yeah, she just will not shift.
Yeah, she has her way, right?
And I know there are
heaps of great people
in the Wairarapa,
but they've got their people.
We are wanting to know this morning
how far you travel for an appointment.
People aren't even going locally
at all, it appears. So many people.
Just say, yeah, what about that whole support
local campaign that everybody was running after COVID?
Local men in New Zealand. But it's like your
mum says. Someone's been doing your hair for so
long. You trust them. You know
they'll do a good job. And so you
just stay with them. Yeah, why change?
Iona, how far have you gone for an appointment?
I've gone to New York City to get my hair coloured.
What?
Yep, and I've been doing it for over 10 years.
Obviously, due to COVID, I haven't been able to go.
But yes, this one lady, she's absolutely amazing.
And Hayley, as you know,
getting the perfect blonde is kind of hard. It's hard. But this woman's just got the right touch.
And yeah, I do have a friend locally that does upkeep my roots, but this woman just is the next
level perfection. A wizard. Yeah. So even during COVID, when you got your hair blonde, it wasn't up to the New York standard.
No.
No, it wasn't.
And I really, really miss it.
And I'm trying to organize another trip over just to make sure I can get my hair
the way I absolutely love it in this moment.
But do you do a holiday at the same time, though?
Or are you just there and back?
I do.
Yeah, I have family over there
so my mom's also a client of hers
but yeah,
so it's a holiday
plus getting my hair done
but yeah.
The main thing is the hair.
It is indeed.
Wow.
Amazing, amazing.
Yona, thank you.
A few messages about
finding someone
that can do a good blonde.
Yeah, but not me.
Shari.
Shout out to Shari.
My hairdresser nails it.
I'm a blonde specialist in Mount Maunganui
and I have clients that travel every six to eight weeks
from Whangamata, Auckland, Gisborne
and some four to six monthly
from Christchurch to New Zealand and Wellington.
Jesus.
You guys should try hydrogen peroxide.
No.
I think you can say you should try balding.
Also, it would save you so much money. Don't do that. You think you can say, you should try balding. Also, it would save you so much money.
Don't do that.
You think that, but then you're constantly buying shaving blades and shaving cream.
It still doesn't add up to one-fifth of a ticket to New York.
I'm imagining for my entire life worth of buying that.
Nail technicians is another one.
People travel a long way to get their specialist nail technicians.
We moved to Whangarei from Auckland, but we had already enrolled our newborn son months before moving
to swimming lessons in Ellerslie in Auckland.
So when the time comes, we're just going to travel down every week.
Yeah.
For a 30-minute session on Saturdays.
That's a no from me.
I think lots of people up in Whangarei know how to swim.
Yeah.
You'll quickly grow out of wanting to give your weekend up
for dumb kids' endeavours too.
Yeah, I bet.
Like if my kids don't make rep netball teams next year, the dreams are them.
Yeah, cut them loose.
At least you want to play club on a Tuesday night.
Get them into e-gaming or something.
Yeah, dude.
Something rare.
Something sedentary.
And he's been doing horse riding and I laugh every time she comes home from it.
She's got this glimmer in her eye like it might happen.
I'm like, no.
That's a bottomless pit of money.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're not getting a pony home.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know how people frown upon
it when you eat them when they're bloody past it, aren't they?
Like if Indy's like, I don't want to ride the horse anymore,
I'll be like, home kill.
Eat it. Yeah. Alright.
I wouldn't say no.
So many messages in.
Yeah, so many.
Hairdressers, without a doubt, the biggest one.
The biggest one. Hair and brows, I would say.
Yeah, brows is a big one.
Doctors, because when you find your doctors,
you still want to stick to your doctors.
This has actually reminded me I do want to go to New Plymouth
for my next doctor's appointment.
You don't want to go to the doctors. Well, one, I really to New Plymouth for my next doctor's appointment. You don't want to go to the doctors.
Well, one, I really like New Plymouth.
I know.
Two, Thaya's not going to be asking these pesky questions like,
what's it for this weight?
What's it for this extra weight gain you've put on the last two years?
Your doctor's not going to ask you that.
Yeah, I know, but it's significant, isn't it?
I can't be bothered.
I'm off the pill now.
If I get pregnant, it's your fault.
Wait, whose fault?
Mine.
No, not yours.
The system's.
See you, see ya later.
Actually, I'm going to have to stop you there.
That's copyrighted.
Suzy Cato's a very good friend of mine.
She's already sued me twice,
so if you could maybe get her to drop her litigious action,
that would be great.
Tell her I'll review her five stars
if she does the same for this podcast,
and then she tells all her friends.
And if you're listening, maybe give it five stars
as well.
