Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Thank you Bryn, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Two minutes past six.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Not good. Not good news. What? P. Diddy. Oh yeah, I thought you were talking about the weather. I was like, well What? P. Diddy. Oh, yeah. I thought you were talking about the weather. I was like, well, of course P. Diddy. The P stood for piece of shit the entire time.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Piece of shit Diddy. Good Lord. It turns out it did. And Puff, when it was Puff, stands for pathetic Diddy. Pathetic Diddy. Pathetic behaviour. Cold start around the country this morning. Currently minus one in Christchurch. Nippy.
Starting point is 00:00:47 And Rotorua. Napier, three degrees at the moment. Now this time tomorrow we'll be starting the show in Napier at the Hawke's Bay Airport where we have been invited to the naming ceremony for the new fire truck. I've only brought a short cropped leather jacket.
Starting point is 00:01:05 I went for fashion over function. Okay, but you haven't got a puffer, any thermals? Oh God, no. Okay. No, we've got chicken only. My puffer's ginormous. That sounded awful. What an awful sentence to say. She's got a huge puffer. You know, old Sprout. All the boys are
Starting point is 00:01:22 saying it. I'm really looking forward to Napier. Yeah, same. Top six on the way. Yeah, the National Partey, our current government, along with its coalition buddies, I'm not sure how, but want to make it illegal to wear gang patches in your own house. There's stages, right? Like if you're caught wearing gang patches.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Yeah. Eventually leading to the fact where it will be illegal to wear a gang patch in your own house. Which? You're sort of allowed to do anything in your own house. Feels like an overstep. I'm not for any illegal activity going on in one's house. Sounds like you're pro-gangs.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I'm not pro-gangs. Sounds like you're pushing pee. I'm not pro-gangs, but what's next? Marrying your dog? Oh, God. Jesus. Remember? Yeah. Remember what it was like when the boot was on the other foot? Where do we draw the line? Where do you stop? Well, I've got the top six other
Starting point is 00:02:13 things that should be illegal to wear in your own house. It's coming up in the top six next, though. 60% of Fitspo videos I follow a lot of Fitspo. And, you know, inspiration from fitness influencers. Turns out that there's a problem with some of this information. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:02:33 Information online? Yeah. There's a problem with it? I don't know. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Flinders University. Is that Melbourne? Well, Flinders Street Station.
Starting point is 00:02:44 They've got Flinders Street and there's Flinders. Lots of Flinders. Yeah, lots of Flinders University Is that Melbourne? Flinders Street Station They've got Flinders Street Lots of Flinders Yeah lots of Flinders in Melbourne I'm going to assume That it is from The university in Melbourne Assume away Isn't that Melbourne University?
Starting point is 00:02:54 The best part of Melbourne is Batman Batman Road Is it Batman Road or Batman Ave? Is it Batman Ave in Melbourne? Oh my god It's in Adelaide What? Flinders
Starting point is 00:03:03 Yeah Flinders University That's embarrassing Who's the Flinders That Flinders University How embarrassing for us That's embarrassing Who's the Flinders That had so much to do With the southern parts of Australia Who is Mr and Mrs Flinders Who are the Flinders Well why don't you look at
Starting point is 00:03:13 Who the Flinders are Vaughan Yeah I think it's going to help us With your story Who are the Flinders Of South Australian Flinders This study out of the university Of Flinders
Starting point is 00:03:24 Which is in Adelaide As as I said, Hayley. Looked at. Okay. Well, why didn't you come in after I've done the thing? It just sort of feels like you could have let him finish. It really feels like you could have let me finish. We could have a backup. For Christ's sake, go on then.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Spit it out. Spit it out. You were on the same page as me. 100%. I was like, quickly over you. I thought you were assuming I wasn't quick enough to get this done. And look at me. I'm here with some information.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yeah, I know. But just sit on it for a bit. Listen. Maybe take it in. I will. I'll take some more in. I'll get some more information. We're off to a rocky start.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Oh, really rocky. I'll tell you what. There's a real vibe in this studio. There's a real tension. Is it sexual tension? No. Far from it. Far from it.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Far from it. Well, this university study out of the University of Flinders in Adelaide looked at fitness influencers on TikTok. I follow so many. They sampled 200 different influencers and videos. They found that most of the videos posted, 60% of them were found to present incorrect or harmful information. Yeah, it's just bullshit.
Starting point is 00:04:32 It's just straight up. Because what are they... But they're hot, so... It's people who got hot and then think that they can tell you how to get hot, not taking into account any other science or body or your individual chemistry, nothing. I'm assuming it's not just them showing you how to do a squat, right?
Starting point is 00:04:50 Correctly. It's them saying, have this super juice or something. Yeah, eat this, drink this, and this will happen. Yeah. You ain't no expert. Now see, there was a little lull there. That would have been the perfect time. Perfect time for Vaughan to come in with,
Starting point is 00:05:03 oh my God. That's great. I feel like there'san to come in with, oh my god. And be like, well, that's great information. I feel like there's got to be more to this. More information. That's it. 60% of it fits both of bullshit. It contains misinformation. Yeah. Varying levels of bullshit. And because a lot of them are unqualified. Yeah, they're not trained.
Starting point is 00:05:18 People that have trained as either nutritionists or in the, you know, fitness world. Is it hard to be a personal trainer and keep up that endless enthusiasm? I'd say that would be the hardest part of the job. It'd be the hardest bit. Yeah. And then like that and also like sneaking chocolates and stuff at the
Starting point is 00:05:34 supermarket so no one sees you. Yeah. And then you make people so hot and then they stop coming. And you're like, oh. No, you've got to maintain it. Trust me, I got hot once. And then I was like, achieved. You're still hot. You're still hot. Thank you. Quick from you. Quick, tick, little flick. No, I'm not to maintain it. Trust me, I got hot once. And then I was like, achieved. You're still hot.
Starting point is 00:05:45 You're still hot. Thank you. Quick from you. Quick, tick, little flick. No, I'm not. No, it doesn't even bother me. What did you want me to do? You need to back me up with you're still hot.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Who was saying that to? Hayley. But compared to when? It's too late. No, no, like, I got really hot a couple of years ago. And then I thought I'd achieved it. Okay, well, four years ago. Let's push it pre-pandemic, shall we?
Starting point is 00:06:10 2019. And then I thought I'd achieved it. Turns out you've got to maintain it. To be honest, it was your personality all along. It was what? Shining through. I don't know, it felt like that was the right thing to say, but it wasn't, was it?
Starting point is 00:06:25 It wasn't. Okay, who were the... Did you find out who the Flinders are? Real good information specifically on Matthew Flinders. Okay, who's Matt? Captain Matthew Flinders. Oh, right. He was a British navigator and cartographer.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Cartographer who led the first... I think you're pronouncing coloniser wrong. I think you've just pronounced... No, he wasn't interested in colonising as much as he was cartographising. Right. He just liked making maps. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:50 And he made the first inshore circumnavigation of mainland Australia when it was called New Holland. He was also credited as the first person to say Australia's a better name, although the name Australia belonged to Antarctica at the time. That's right. Yeah, it did, yeah. And he said that Van Duyman's Land,
Starting point is 00:07:05 which is now Tasmania, he said that that should just have the same name because technically it's a state of this country. Okay. So he's a maps guy. And that's why everything's called Flinders. That's why you'll find lots of stuff named after Flinders
Starting point is 00:07:17 is because he mapped a whole lot of areas in Australia. Thank you for popping in at the end with that little bit of information. It was a nice little tie-off. Yeah, nice tie-off there. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah, perfect. Died at the end with that little bit of information. It was a nice little tie off. Yeah, nice tie off there. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah, perfect.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Died at the age 40. What? Have you been dead by our age? I better find out how he died. Don't say our age and include all of us in that. He was dead by my age and Fletcher's age. Excuse me, I'm 34. You've got six years to go.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Thank you. And you have nothing named after you. Nothing. You don't have Flinders Street You don't have Hayley Sproul Street Station named after you That's actually bullshit Surely there's so many new suburbs popping up everywhere New driveways and lanes
Starting point is 00:07:54 Sproul Crescent No we talked about this He died at the age 40 18, 14 of kidney disease And he was back home in London Kidney disease So his house is now the site of the BT Tower 14 of kidney disease. And he was back home in London. Kidney disease? Yeah, it's now, so his house is now the site of the BT
Starting point is 00:08:07 Tower, which is a British landmark. Wow. Okay. Interesting. Interesting. Okay, great. He died at home. We will now find the Vodafone shop. Yeah. We will now find one of the latest McDonald's restaurants.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Yeah, love it. So good. Play ZM's Fletch, Bourne and Hayley. I am still tired. Well, you did go to a concert. Takes a couple of days, yeah. How much sleep did you get last night to make up for your two, how hour and a half sleep the night before? Seven and a half hours.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Seven and a half. Okay, so that's on average. You're not still asleep yet. I am still asleep yet. So I need a little coffee. And before working here, and you said it, I would become a coffee drinker. I wouldn't call myself a coffee drinker.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I have like two a week or something like that. And then espresso and martinis, but you're not counting those? They're not picked because the vodka cancels them out. Right. Scientifically, what the vodka does is it attacks the caffeine from the side. I don't know if that's a thing and it meets somewhere in the middle is the perfect drink of course drink responsibly
Starting point is 00:09:08 oh my god to those that celebrate and drink coffee responsibly too indeed that's a drug when you oh okay calm down Mormon oh sure you have your cup of coffee and we'll just hit the pee pipe and it's the same thing
Starting point is 00:09:21 it's comparable wow we're both getting a little kick Mormon God sees them the same. Oh, God. Crystal meth or beans. But people like, people, coffee drunkers are so passionate about their coffee. Oh, absolutely. I tried once, like, you know, to be all, you know, some people are like, don't do caffeine.
Starting point is 00:09:37 It's like, you've been green tea. I will do coffee. Did you go green tea? You did green tea for a while. A little bit, yeah. Oh, you're a miserable brat. I still drink coffee. I still drink green tea? You did green tea for a while. A little bit, yeah. Oh, you're a miserable brat. I still drink green tea, but no. I just can't live without coffee.
Starting point is 00:09:50 It's so good. It's a pleasure. It's one of life's pleasures. Yeah. Pick your battles as well. Yeah. When people quit coffee. I mean, depending on the reason they're doing it.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Anyway, there was a survey in America. Well, that was unprofessional, wasn't it? What should I have done? This is a learning moment. Wait until like more or I had said something and turn your mic off and cough off the mic. That's perfect. Nailed it. That's really good.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Did I? God, I'm just getting better and better and better. This is one of the privileges of working with Fletch and Vaughan is I just learn every day. You're learning radio so good. I'm learning radio. I'm done the radio for nearly three years and I feel every day I've done it better and better and better. And the listeners, they've seen it. They've seen my
Starting point is 00:10:29 growth. Anyway, sorry. I'm just working that. Again, that is a really good technique. Can you not slurp on the microphone? See, this is where I learn. It's a brat energy in the studio this morning
Starting point is 00:10:45 You guys paid money for good or like broadcasting school and radio school, you didn't need to You just needed to work with a couple of pros Speaking of which, yesterday was close to where I went to tertiary education Oh really? And I said to my girls I went to university just down the road from here, to which my wife scoffed and said
Starting point is 00:11:01 it's not really university. She turned to them and was like not really university. I'm like, well it's not crowd work anniversary. She turned to them and was like, not really an anniversary. I'm like, well, it's not crowd work. You don't have to burn me in front of the two-person audience. Am I right? Woo! Let's lose it with a dum-dum. And we drove and they're like, tell us when we're there.
Starting point is 00:11:12 And I'm like, we're there. And they're like, Dad, this is a factory. And I said, yes, it certainly feels like it. Yeah, it was a radio school, university in an industrial area. Cold, sounds cold. Anyway, back to coffee, please. Survey in America, looking at coffee drinking habits,
Starting point is 00:11:29 over half of Americans claim a good cup of coffee can be so powerful it turns a bad day into a good day. Yeah, good stuff. When you have a real good cup of joe. 31% said their entire day will be ruined if it's not right, if it's not hot enough,
Starting point is 00:11:44 if it doesn't have the right taste, or even if it doesn't look right. Yeah. You know, when you get a coffee in the LA, it's a bit sloppy on the top. Yeah. Especially in America. God, that is some god awful coffee. When you go, when you leave New Zealand, you miss the coffee.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Straightforward, simple, and frills free. That's sort of the general vibe for coffee, which is interesting coming from America where they have like pumpkin spice lattes with a double shot caramel oat. But it's either that or black filter. Like they don't tend to dilly dally too much in the middle. It's either like,
Starting point is 00:12:17 well, you know, when I go to America, I miss my mochaccino. Yeah. It's some ridiculous over the top thing with cream and a donut in the top. Here's the one stat from this little coffee study in America that I found to be rather delightful. One in five say that a fresh cup of coffee is better than making love.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Interesting. Now, if you were to give up one thing in your life, you could never have fun adult times or never have a cup of coffee, where are we heading? We're getting rid of coffee aren't we? I guess so. 100% I'm not one in five. But obviously some people would rather give up fun times. You let it play with yourself? No.
Starting point is 00:12:56 In this theoretical you're completely giving up self pleasure. Oh god. Well they said making love. Yeah. So you've found a loophole there Make love to yourself So you can do that and then It's still a bit sad, I think you'd still get rid of a cup of coffee wouldn't you
Starting point is 00:13:13 Don't know Probably not Don't know Probably not Who's enforcing these rules I always think this is where we do theoretical Is it someone knocking on the door Excuse me, are you making love because cut it out i'm gonna revoke your coffee privileges zm's fletchborn and hayley blah blah blah blah blah blah this is the top six
Starting point is 00:13:38 yeah kia ora kia ora and welcome to the top six today dealing with this. And you might need, I read an explainer. Okay. On the Brexit down, kind of an explainer like your five situation. This is a gang patch ban. Yeah, okay. The gang legislation amendment bill, which is expected to pass its third reading this week, would mean a ban on gang insignia in public places
Starting point is 00:14:02 and give police greater powers to stop gang members congregating and a last minute change to the legislation if you'll excuse me for a moment that was really unprofessional you could learn
Starting point is 00:14:12 from that that's a teaching moment Hayley do not do that because I've actually got a bit of a problem you got one going on there that was good
Starting point is 00:14:19 no because it was just silence she turned it off I said excuse me I had manners see now you're doing a flex that was almost straight on mine see you didn't even notice I did it there She turned it off. I said, excuse me, I had manners. Now you're doing a flip. That was almost straight on mine.
Starting point is 00:14:28 See, you didn't even notice I did it there. I turned my mic off. Okay. Oh, we heard that. You can't even tell. A last minute change to the legislation. Everybody's got this at the moment, by the way. Have you noticed everybody's got this?
Starting point is 00:14:43 I think it's just because it's cold at night and then you wake up in the morning a bit like, oh, a little bit of a chill. Yeah, and pollen. A lot of snotty... A lot of hay fever people. A lot of snotty colds and flus going around. Last minute change to this legislation
Starting point is 00:14:54 extends the gang patch ban for those who have been prosecuted for breaching it three times. Oh, okay. Meaning they'll also be banned from wearing the patch at home and it gives police increased search powers so they can go into gang members' homes
Starting point is 00:15:07 to enforce the fact that they aren't allowed to wear their patch in their home if they have suspicion that they believe they have a gang insignia at home. I guess the question is what... Now, and I don't want to sound pro-gangs and pro-patches, but what's the problem with them wearing it at home? I guess I don't really understand. If you're in your own home, you're not like advertising
Starting point is 00:15:29 to anyone. Yeah, I'm not 100% sure. Yeah, it's weird, isn't it? Because I wear mine at home and no one knows. This is my chance to say that I am in the mongrel mall. Yeah, and it's just,
Starting point is 00:15:41 it's a little side thing that I keep to myself just when I'm off here, not part of my radio personality. But your leather jacket today doesn't have any insignia on it. Yeah, but it's a little side thing that I keep to myself just when I'm off here, not part of my radio personality. But your leather jacket today doesn't have any insignia on it. Yeah, but it's got domes. Okay, right. So you can click it on.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Yeah, and you just click it on the bat. That's nice. But I only do it at home. Yeah, right. Well, don't get caught in public three times or you won't be able to wear it at home. Or have flags or anything with the insignia at home. And I guess people are worried this is a slippery slope.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Like, you know, it starts with gang patches and then all of a sudden it's your toys, Hayley. Yeah. When, you know, the religious right get into power. Oh, gosh. They'll be banning those in your home. Are they coming from a side drawer? Yeah. In case it's your...
Starting point is 00:16:17 What? Fiddling. Get out! They'll be able to break in and send the police out. Who's it hurting? Hey! God. It's hurting God.
Starting point is 00:16:25 God. Oh, I'm so sorry. Those parts are only for recreating babies. Okay. All right. Well, I think why stop at gang patches, personally? Okay. I've got the top six other things that should be illegal to wear in your own house.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Number six. Swastikas? Absolutely. Kind of on board with swastikas being bad full stop. Actually, yeah, I reckon. Yeah. Not the bodice one. Not the... The reversey. Yeah. Kind of on board with swastikas being bad full stop. Actually, yeah, I reckon. Yeah. Not the bodice one, not the... The reversey.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Yeah. The reversey, but I just think if we're doing gang patches, we'd probably do swastikas too. There. Number five on the list, I'd say as bad as swastikas, three-quarters pants. Capris. Yeah, well, capris, loose or tight.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Loose or tight. If it finishes halfway down your shin. But wearing in public's okay, just not your house. No, no, no, it's not in public either. Oh, not in public either, okay. Oh, full ban, full ban. Three strikes for the capris. For the capris, sure.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Three strikes for the three quarters. Yeah, okay. Number four on the list of the top six other things I think should be illegal to wear in your own house, toweling bucket hats. I thought they were back, though. Oh, I really like a toweling bucket hat. This comes from the,
Starting point is 00:17:27 can I speak on behalf of the big headed community? Oh, they are a snug fit. They're a snug fit. And even if you do, on the very rare occasion, find one that fits, it's ridiculous. It's got a big head.
Starting point is 00:17:37 It's like converses on a size 12. Clown shoes. And on our head, it looks like a clown hat. I've got size 12 converses there. You look like a clown. You do. I've got size 12 convessors there. You look like a clown. I've literally
Starting point is 00:17:46 worn a toweling hat like a yarmulke before. It sits on the back part of my head and it's got like the yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:54 It's like a summer yarmulke. A summer car. A summer car. Number three on the list of the top six other things that should
Starting point is 00:18:00 be illegal to wear in your own house. A t-shirt that says the man arrow up, the legend, arrow down. This is pretty illegal. Or FBI, female body inspector. Yes, please hold me back.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Number two on the list of the top six other things that should be illegal to wear in your own house. Anything that costs more than $200. I'm a firm, strong believer in clothing should never cost more than $200. But you can wear your expensive clothes out of the house. Anything that costs more than $200. I'm a firm, strong believer in clothing should never cost more than $200. But you can wear your expensive clothes out of the house. No. No more clothes over $200. You think $200 is the line?
Starting point is 00:18:32 What about your jeans? You're talking about my $40 jeans that I got from the Levi Outlet store. Boom. Your wife's clothes will have to go. Oh, boo-hoo. What a shame. She's not going to be able to buy any more because they're going have to go. All of them. Oh, boo-hoo. Oh, no, what a shame. And then she'll need more. No, she's not going to be able to buy any more
Starting point is 00:18:46 because they're going to be illegal. Right. Okay. And number one on the list of the top six other things that should be illegal to wear in your own house, those undies. You know the pair I'm talking about. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Oh, my God. Everybody's got a pair. Just hanging in there. Oh, they're my favourite, though, and they're almost burnt straight through. Men get a lot of shit about having their knickers in a bad state. I will say, because
Starting point is 00:19:09 I know she's asleep, she's not listening. If you were to compare all of our knickers, my knickers are in far better shape than Charlotte's. Oh yeah, some of mine are embarrassing. Like, if you had a medical incident and the ambulance had to come to your house and you were in the woods on these. Please no, don't look. You'd just say, leave me to bleed out. I don't want you seeing these. No, man, Like if you had a medical incident and the ambulance had to come to your house and you were in the middle of your knees.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Please no, don't look. You'd just say, leave me to bleed out. I don't want you seeing these. No, man, we just need to cut them off. No. No, just leave me. Take me straight to the coroner. Chuck me in the hole.
Starting point is 00:19:38 That is today's top six. There is a flight attendant who has shared a little travel hack. And this I think I wanted to share today because we're travelling. Okay. And we will be staying in a hotel room. Wait, it's not that when you put one shoe in the safe. Because remember that was a hack. That was a hack so that you don't forget what's in the safe. Like if you're travelling internationally, you've got your passport in there, maybe your wallet.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Yeah, but you've also got more than one pair of shoes, hopefully. Yeah. So you just leave that shoe. Now you don't have your passport, wallet, keys and a shoe. And both shoes, yeah. That's a useless hack. Here's a good one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:16 So this is from a flight attendant who spends a lot of time travelling and staying in different hotels. Okay. And you know when you stay in a hotel, it can get a little confusing. Well, especially like big hotels. Okay. And you know when you stay in a hotel, it can get a little confusing. Well, especially like big hotels. Yeah. Remember when we stayed in that hotel in like Las Vegas and you had to walk like a kilometre down the hallway just to get to your room?
Starting point is 00:20:33 Oh yeah, saying there were central elevators. Yeah. And you're in different wings and you don't know where you are sometimes. I always take a photo as well of the, because sometimes, you know, the room key comes in a little paper pocket that has the room number on it, but the key itself doesn't. Take a photo. And so, and sometimes, you know, the room key comes in a little paper pocket that has the room number
Starting point is 00:20:45 on it, but the key itself doesn't. Take a photo. And so, and then sometimes you'll be like, well, that's a good hack as well.
Starting point is 00:20:51 I always take a photo of the room thing. So I'm going to be like, oh yeah, that's right. It was da da da da da. Yeah. But I did this the other day
Starting point is 00:20:56 because I stayed on a Monday night at QT in Auckland. Yeah. And whenever you leave the room, you're always like, where's the elevator? There's just that moment
Starting point is 00:21:07 where all hotels start to feel a little bit the same and then you don't know where the elevator is. So this air, I was about to call her a hostess. An air hostess. No, an air,
Starting point is 00:21:18 a flight attendant. Is it an air chick? Yeah. Flight Sheila? Yeah, this lovely flight Sheila. Her hack is when you take off your shoes, the shoes you're going to wear the next day, you take them off and you point them in the direction of the lift
Starting point is 00:21:34 so that you know, so that you can go, all right, it's to the left, and you don't spend that time going off to the right, getting to the end of a dead-end hallway and being like, oh, it's not that way. This wasn't it. I've got to turn around and go. Also, I guess good in an evacuation.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Yeah, I suppose so. They're set out, ready to go. They're there and you put them on and you follow them. Yeah, exactly. But then I would forget and then put them on and be like, oh, which way were my shoes facing?
Starting point is 00:21:58 Yeah, same, same, same. I'd pick them up, put them on and be like, well, now they're on my feet. Still don't know where to go. It's not a bad hack. Not a bad hack. Because the hotel we're staying in today is quite... It's quite big.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Quite big. Well, you can put your shoes, although you've put something in your shoes, haven't you? Yeah. You've packed. I've packed light. You've packed light. So you've used all the room in your suitcase and you've used the inside.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Someone thinks rattling around, getting knocked. Getting in your shoe. Getting knocked on. Getting knocked on and stuff. Like a shaver. Yeah, I bought a shaver. I'm going to do a full body shave. Head to toe shave. When we get to Napier today, I just thought I just need some grooming. Yep. So I bought my
Starting point is 00:22:38 electric razor and I thought I don't want that to be turned on. Well, so if you are working for Air New Zealand today and you do hear a hum coming out of Hayley's suitcase, it's a shaver. Shaver, because I'm just going to neck down, we're getting rid of it.
Starting point is 00:22:48 And you're taking your electric toothbrush. Electric toothbrush and electric shaver. Your spot neck massager. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My head massager for hair growth.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Okay, great, yeah. Yeah, just those five things. ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Fletchbourne 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 today is do you think you're losing your hearing?
Starting point is 00:23:25 This comes off the back of a study that half or nearly half of Americans think they're losing their hearing. Yeah, that's what they fear. I guess loud music in cars, concerts, headphone usage all the time. Yeah, because growing up, you never had in-ears. They were never like shoved right in. You always had those little foam, little delightful little thin foam tinny things. Which that left a bit of a gap for noise to escape, right? Gap for noise to escape and no bass.
Starting point is 00:23:51 It's the pressure. Yeah. Both my mum and my brother, who was an audio engineer, and he's been in metal bands and headphones have tinnitus. Yeah, right. Which is the constant ringing that'll never go away. Horrible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Drive you crazy. Well, 58% of people who responded to ours think they are losing their hearing. Jeez. 42% said no, and the other didn't hear, so they couldn't answer. Nah, just jokes. It was written down.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Amanda. It would be pretty rude if we did an audio question. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Answer this question. And we said it like Amanda said too many concerts Yeah That's what her problem is
Starting point is 00:24:34 Ruben said yes Because you guys Won't quit yapping Oh it's our fault Ruben I'm sorry Ruben It would be a bit weird Ruben In our defence
Starting point is 00:24:43 If we sat here in silence And we didn't yet Yeah For three hours We just It'd be a bit weird Ruben In our defence If we sat here in silence And we didn't yet Yeah For three hours We just That'd be weird And then you just See the time quietly
Starting point is 00:24:49 I wonder how long It would take the company To cotton onto that though What put out like A two hour podcast Of nothing Just silence They just hear us
Starting point is 00:24:55 In the background Yeah Beth said I'm a teacher The constant loudness Of a classroom With many children Is definitely impacting
Starting point is 00:25:04 My hearing Oh wow That loud Especially like Classrooms The old hard Lino floored Beth said, I'm a teacher. The constant loudness of a classroom with many children is definitely impacting my hearing. Oh, wow. They're loud, especially like classrooms, the old hard, lino-floored, hard-walled classrooms. And you can't smack them or kick them anymore to shut them up. No. It's tough. It's tough stuff. It's really tough.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Kim said, either I'm losing my hearing or people suck at talking at a decent volume. So people are talking to her and she's like, a bigger part? So many times I'm just like, ha like, I beg your pardon? So many times and it's like, haha, yeah. Yeah. Same. I disagree.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Yeah. And they're like a noisy environment. And they just quickly change the topic. I don't know what you're saying. I don't know who you are. Rebecca said,
Starting point is 00:25:36 no, the air's good, it's the sight that's not so good. Oh, right, okay. To the best of us. Yeah. In fact, the best of us in this room.
Starting point is 00:25:43 The best guy. The best guy. Blind as a bat, old smithy. I'm so anxious about losing my hair in that I got $200 custom earplugs, says Henry, just for the RPM classes at Les Mills because they can be so loud. Oh, yeah, they can be. Some people use the earplugs. Yeah, they provide them.
Starting point is 00:26:02 They provide them. The little foamies. The little foamies. Just like a lot of people wear those to concerts too. What RPM is that spin? Yeah, like it's a type of cycle class.
Starting point is 00:26:11 And they crank the music as like a club. Yeah, I don't do those. Those are loud. Briar said no, but recently. K-pop, yeah. No, but I read.
Starting point is 00:26:19 What do you get on your penny farthing then and just go for a ride outside? I do. Listen to the birds. Yeah. RPF is what my class is called, riding penny farthing then and just go for a ride outside. I do. Listen to the birds. Yeah. RPF is what my class is called, riding penny farthings. And it's fun.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Briar said, no, but I recently found out that not everyone has ringing in their ears the whole time. Oh, that's terrible. Yeah, that's not good. Sorry to hear that, Briar.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Kate says, I'm a farmer. It's part of the job. Yeah. And then does a tractor. We should always wear air protection on a tractor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Any sort of. No, but every time Vaughan swallows a choose in the microphone, I wish I had. Yeah. Please be professional. We've talked a bit about our professional mic technique. Totally. Misophonia rage.
Starting point is 00:26:56 That's from Chelsea. Oh, for God's sake. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I am... This is... For a start, it blew my mind. It was 2017. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:10 That this disappeared. Because that feels like it might have been 2019 just. It was the year I moved to Auckland. 2017 was the year that the pirate ship disappeared from Rambo's end. We went. We went on the last day that it was there, the last day that it was functional. We did one of the last rides.
Starting point is 00:27:28 You didn't like it, did it? You got a bit queasy. Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of spinning or swinging. The swinging's better. It's just I can't do the spinning. That new Rambo's End ride where it goes up and over a hump and back and all the while spinning. Yeah, it's like when we did the claw at
Starting point is 00:27:45 Dreamworld and we were going to do it for as long as we wanted. It's the spinning. And where to stop because Vaughn's like, I've got to get off. He felt sad. Please drop a little of your laugh. Help me. Yeah, the spinning, the round and round, it's no good. Yeah, I don't do well on motion sickness
Starting point is 00:28:01 things. That was the end of the iconic pirate ship at Rainbow's End 2017. Done. The end. Well, we said goodbye. Ahoy me hearties. As a new and improved Rainbow's End pirate ship is set to return in 2025. There's an article on it on the Herald if you want to go and read about it.
Starting point is 00:28:22 And it also has the computer generated image of what it's going to look like. I thought they did they get rid of it because it was old and it was old and the parts apparently it was sort of sucked
Starting point is 00:28:31 but it was just a big swing. It's just a big swing. Just a big swing. Yeah. You'd think if they were going to get another ride you'd get something else. Let's go crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:38 But they got the space and stuff and it's just kind of like it's a bit of a classic because like little kids can go on it. Yeah. True.
Starting point is 00:28:44 And it's not as daunting looking as the free fall. But it's not about little kids it's about cool roller like, it's a bit of a classic because like little kids can go on it. Yeah, true. And it's not as daunting looking as the free fall. But it's not about little kids, it's about cool roller coasters. It's about cool roller coasters for adults. You couldn't build a cool roller coaster
Starting point is 00:28:52 on that size. Yeah, true. That little plot that I've got it. I assume it's going back in the same swath. Look, if you want to run a theme park,
Starting point is 00:28:57 do Roller Coaster Tycoon or what's that game called? Oh yeah. Yeah, Roller Coaster Tycoon. Yeah. There was a Sims version of the park. What was that called? Everybody knows the best thing about rollercoaster.
Starting point is 00:29:10 I loved Sims. Yeah, was there a rollercoaster in Sims? Not in the one I played. Okay. The best part about Rollercoaster Tycoon was building a rollercoaster that ended straight into a wall. Yeah, I love that. Sort of a death coaster.
Starting point is 00:29:23 A little dark, Vaughn. A little dark. A little bit dark. Oh, man. That was sort of why I played those games. Yeah, I love that. Sort of a death coaster. A little dark Vaughan. A little dark. A little bit dark. Oh man. That was sort of why I played those games. Smash. So when are they 2025? Sometime in 2025. Yeah, being made now apparently. Okay. German based.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Right. German based manufacturer assembling new parts. And then I'm guessing they sail it over. The whole boat. I can't see why not. Sorry, Dad. What time are you picking up the kids from school? They sail the boat over.
Starting point is 00:29:54 You laugh. I do laugh. Hayley liked that joke. With all the framing inside. Yeah, right. Because what happened to the old pirate ship? Somebody bought it, right? I don't know what happened.
Starting point is 00:30:05 I think it got sold as the ship. Did it? Okay. Is it at a theme park, at another theme park? No, no, because it couldn't be used. It was just literally to sit somewhere purely as decoration. I think it had done its dash. Okay, well, 2025, a new pirate ship.
Starting point is 00:30:21 I was just trying to find a photo of me in the 90s on it, but I can't find it. And actually, it's radio, and that would be irrelevant to the listener. Yeah. So that's something I could probably do in my own personal time and send to you in our group chat. Sure, that'd be great.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Rambo, so here's an article from the time, after 34 years of thrilling, Aucklanders will be, but not for sale. Oh, right. They must have just dismantled it and scrapped metal. Maybe it wasn't that sturdy anymore, and it was a bit of a hazard, so they went, okay, we'll get rid of that. 34 years for a ride's a long time, eh?
Starting point is 00:30:50 It's a long time. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's not that long. Actually, that's quite young. 34 years is quite a young time. Oh, right. You're saying because you're 34, I'm about to be 35,
Starting point is 00:31:01 you are the same age now as the pirate ship was when it was decommissioned. She's getting a bit rusty. I was like, I need to the pirate ship was when it was decommissioned. She's getting a bit rusty. Parts are getting hard to find. Some of the seats are falling off. No, yeah, but still in general it's the same ride that it's been the whole time.
Starting point is 00:31:17 You'd say it's stopped delighting the crowds? No, it's become more delightful. It's become a bit mundane and a bit boring. It's a fun, spicy ride. People either find it boring or it makes them sick. No, I don't think any of that's true. I think that it's almost you're seeing it with fresh eyes and it's true beauty at that point.
Starting point is 00:31:38 It's a great age. It's not for sale. It's not good for much apart from scrap. Not good for much apart from scrap. Not good for much apart from scrap. Welcome to 34. No, nearly 35. Nearly 35. 35 next month.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Yeah. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Well, you know, yesterday I was very tired and sometimes you just want to digest a bit of crap. Watched a couple of movies with the bestie, dropped her off. Oh, what movies? We watched, we wanted Easy Peasy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:11 So we watched This Is 40, which is like one of the best. Paul Rudd. Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann. Yeah. Everyone, the cast is incredible. And then we watched Booksmart because Jess hadn't seen it. Okay. Which is so good.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Joe Apatow. Joe Apatow. Isn't his daughter in Booksmart? Yep. Yes. You had a bit. Joe Apatow is in his daughter in Booksmart? Yep. Yes. You had a bit of an Apatow. No, no, no, no. That's not his daughter. No, not one of the main characters
Starting point is 00:32:32 but I thought she was just in it. Is she? I don't know. Anyway, we watched both of those. Anyway, so then I made a frittata yesterday. Oh yeah. I am going somewhere
Starting point is 00:32:40 with the story buzz. I made a frittata and what surprises me about frittatas is how long they take to cook. Because it's just egg, isn't it? It's just egg. You're like, eggs cook fast, but not in the oven.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Anyway, so I was like, I need to watch a bit of crap, and I'm feeling tired. And then I remembered someone saying to me, you've got to watch The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Was that someone Shannon? It wasn't producer Shannon, but I know that Shannon has watched it. Yes. You're finished? I've watched one episode. Yeah, so I'm up to date. Okay, give me
Starting point is 00:33:10 the synopsis of, what's it called? The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. So basically, during COVID there was these popular TikTokers and they were called Mom Talk. Mom Talk. And they were super popular for being these Mormon wives. And then there was a big scandal Popular as well because the TikTok stuff they did was like dancing and booty shaking.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Yeah. But they're Mormon wives. They're Mormon wives, my friend. And then there was a big scandal because one of them got arrested. And then she came out. She's like, we're all swingers. Yeah. They're all shagging each other.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Okay. Yeah. So now then the group kind of disowned her being like, we're not swingers. So this documentary is following their friendship, trying to repair, talking about their culture. But it's so interesting. They're like, we don't drink coffee because it goes against our religion,
Starting point is 00:33:53 but we'll do ketamine and do Botox. They did a bit of ketamine and Botox. Yeah. Therapeutic, therapeutic. Explain to me the Mormon loophole of ketamine. They did it for therapy, but then also when they get Botox, they use laughing gas and they're like, it's fine because it's medical.
Starting point is 00:34:09 They use laughing gas for Botox. It's quite tough enough. I was watching that last night and I was like, what do you mean? It doesn't hurt that much. No. But they're all sitting there getting high. I've heard. You've heard.
Starting point is 00:34:19 I've heard. Have you? You may or may not have noticed about me, I'm not for organised religion. What? I'm not for organised religion. What? I'm not for organised religion, just to repeat that again. But I think if you're going to make a commitment to say, I am of organised religion, you can't be loopholing the whole time. The whole thing, like I've watched one episode and I was like, jeepers.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Like if you're going to, I'm a Mormon and I don't drink coffee, then you don't do Botox. I know, shut up. Yeah, and quite a few of them don't drink coffee then you don't do Botox I know shut up yeah and quite a few of them will drink but then some won't and there's kind of
Starting point is 00:34:50 they get mad at each other some are like I'm more Mormon than you but like I'm more Mormon but it's a great watch it's trashy as anything it's not actually good
Starting point is 00:34:58 it was very digestible and I think it's got that added thing of like a peep behind a sort of secret society you know as opposed to just another rich family. Is one of them really Ben Affleck's cousin? Yes. Jennifer Anifleck.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Jen Affleck. Jennifer Anifleck. And she's in a bad way. Like her husband is insane. Like when you think of controlling Mormon husbands. Do they have multiple wives? No, so they don't do polygamy. They just soft swing.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Soft swing. They're just a bit of kissing. Soft swing. Just a? No, so they don't do polygamy. They just soft swing. Soft swing? They're just a bit of kissing? Soft swing? Yeah. Just a bit of kissing and stuff? It's not all the way. It's just soft swinging. Just a little bit.
Starting point is 00:35:31 What, just like for the cameras? Standing upright. But the cameras aren't there? No, like it was private. Yeah. Anyway, it's crazy. So you're hooked already in one episode. One episode I was like,
Starting point is 00:35:42 I'm going to watch this because there's not, I've skipped out of Love Island for a bit. I don't watch the Below the Sea. I don't watch Love is Blind is not for me and I was like I am missing Trash
Starting point is 00:35:55 and so this has fulfilled my Trash hole. We want to talk about When insurance said no Oh god It's always terrifying I've never had insurance say no You know when And then when you ring
Starting point is 00:36:18 To do an insurance claim They're like Or get a new policy They always say Have you Or anyone that will be Benefiting from this policy been declined an insurance claim or insurance
Starting point is 00:36:29 within the last five years or something? Because they want to know if you've been trying it on. Yeah. So, yeah, okay. And then if you say no and then they find out it's yes, they can just be like, you're out. You're out. No, I've never been turned down.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Insurance hurts to pay for every month, or I pay mine annually for some things, hurts every time until you make a claim on things. And you're like, thank God I had that. And when you ring them to make your claim, and they try to talk you out of making a claim because it's going to cost you a no-claim bonus, I'm like, but this is the reason I have insurance.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Oh, my God. Who said that to me the other day? I was like, oh, I need to get this thing done. Oh, it was Aaron. And he was like, you know, what about the no claims bonus or the premiums or something? I was like, what's it for otherwise? What's it for? Are we just going to sit on this spotless policy?
Starting point is 00:37:14 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to save myself $40 a year, but it's going to cost me thousands of this. Having to pay for this thing and not claim my insurance. There to be used. I love using insurance. So the reason being. Responsibly and honestly. Yes. That's what it's there for. It sounded like I was being, I love using insurance. Responsibly and honestly. That's what it's there for.
Starting point is 00:37:27 I was taking the piss. I'm not. Just to clarify. Just to clarify. I've got you. Insurance council. I got her. She was flagrant in her use of insurance. A 22 year old had a car.
Starting point is 00:37:43 An Audi TT. Oh nice. Ooh, nice. Must be nice. You're 22. 22 on an Audi. Must be nice. I had a Mitsubishi Mirage. I thought you were going to say you had an Audi for three weeks.
Starting point is 00:37:55 I did, three months. Yeah. Yeah, but it wasn't mine, was it? Someone asked me about the Audi, are they? Someone asked me too. Do you still have the Audi? Audi thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:03 I was like, oh, no, they parted ways and they never looked back. Yeah. Yeah, they took it away from me and they're like, thank God. Well, you kept dripping things all over. I know. Damaging to the brand. Yeah. It was.
Starting point is 00:38:14 In hindsight, it wasn't a great brand alignment, was it? Yeah. For them. Yeah, they were like a bit bogan. German precision versus New Zealand hot mess. Yeah. Yeah. So this 22-year-old in his Audi TT in the middle of the night
Starting point is 00:38:25 gets smashed by a ute. Oh, God. Makes a right mess. That's when he finds out his insurance expired and he didn't renew it. He'd been out of insurance for about a week. So, of course, the insurance are like, why would we pay over that?
Starting point is 00:38:37 Of course, we're not going to do that. That is a nightmare. Insurance says no. Insurance says no. Insurance says no. Insurance says no. So we want to know your stories of when insurance said no and why. Why did they say no?
Starting point is 00:38:49 Oh, no, these stories will be horrible. Oh. Because it's like things like you don't realise when, you know, you get a car and you might do all the right things, you've got insurance, but then you don't realise that just not having a rego up to date or a WAF, it's your insurance. You don't know these things because no one teaches you that at school. I hate to tell Aaron
Starting point is 00:39:09 about what we talked about with the dryer filter. That if our house was to catch on fire because we didn't clean the dryer filter, their insurance might be like, no, I'm not paying for your dumb idiocy. Because you didn't clean the lid. Yeah. Yeah. That would be terrible. You lost your whole house. Let's get the ball rolling with a reply we had.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Oh, no, we asked on Instagram. Okay, okay. Hayley says, not that Hayley, another Hayley. I'm sorry. Is there more than one? Because I thought it was a very unique name. No, it turns out it's not. Common as muck.
Starting point is 00:39:37 My ute got stolen when I was defrosting the windscreen. How do you get it? I turned the ute on, turned on the heat to defrost the one screen. I thought you said put a whole ute in the microwave. I was like, how big is this microwave? This is where we get these microwaves. That was my second dad joke of the day. I liked it a lot. Thank you. I liked it a lot. For God's sake, who's put a ute in the microwave? I bet the middle of the ute was still cold. Yeah, freezing cold. The wheels had mounted then so it froze and solid.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Left it for 30 seconds running, came out and somebody stole it in that time. Oh, and insurance said no because... You left your keys in a running vehicle and left it unattended. No! That's a nightmare. How much does it do? Heaps. Tens of thousands. Tens of thousands.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd just be hoping that they get that back Okay, well we want to take your calls this morning 0800 DARS at M You can text through 9696 When did insurance say no? Everyone's worst nightmare Having insurance saying no
Starting point is 00:40:37 My No, probably not a story, it's not my story to share Good She's learning her boundaries She's learning her boundaries. She's learning her boundaries. It's just like a nightmare when you hear about these things. Oh, my God. It's like big disasters and people don't have insurance and it's, ugh.
Starting point is 00:40:53 I know, like, the messages and calls that are coming through, they're just horrible to hear. Oh, yeah. Because it means that someone's paying for it. My mum's got, in her wedding ring, her engagement ring, it's three black sapphires. One of them popped out and they didn't replace it because she didn't get her claws checked. You've got to get your claws checked.
Starting point is 00:41:11 The claws that hold the, how often do you have to get the claws checked? Every year. What? According to her insurance policy. And they have to have proof. Yeah, yeah. So now I go and get mine checked. This is why you've got to read the policy.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Read the policy. Read the policy. But they're so long. They're so long. They're like 40 pages long. They're so long. They're like 40 pages long. Alana, when did insurance say no? So we
Starting point is 00:41:31 live early and we have so we've got a water pump. What brand? Don't get into this. No, we're not starting. I don't think you need to spend I don't think ground force. It's a great one but you can get some nice
Starting point is 00:41:46 like also European made water pumps that don't cost the same oh here we go Timu Ali Express it's only $10 Ground Force is German I've got a lovely Italian knockoff
Starting point is 00:41:56 that's been doing great actually right you've got a dupe quarter of the price wow I mean normally we're talking about fashion and beauty dupes yeah yeah yeah water pump dupes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Trevoli, I think, is the name of the brand. Okay, Alana, so why did they say no because of the water pump?
Starting point is 00:42:11 So it stopped working and we had some guy come in to check it and some bugs like spiders had fried the circuit board and the insurance said no because apparently it was a pest infestation. Oh, can you use me? board and the insurance said no because apparently it was a pest infestation. And so what if the bug decides it's going to be outside? Why does it allow bugs
Starting point is 00:42:35 inside it? Yeah, but you should have known to put up a spider fence. You actually should have put up a spider fence. Around the water park, you should have known to put up a spider fence. Did you guys just have a small taste of Alana's tone when she would have been on the phone to insurance? I love it. I'm like, we're getting
Starting point is 00:42:52 the soft version here. It's outside! Five grand. Five grand! Nah, mate, I've got a water pump for you. You and Vaughn can yarn away later about water pumps. Steve, when does insurance say no?
Starting point is 00:43:10 Well, similar to the one with Hayley, actually. My wife was cleaning at her work, and she broke the clasp on her engagement ring. Yeah. And, yeah, so we did the right thing, and we went to insurance, and then they came back, and they said, well, yeah, same thing. Oh, there's supposed to be maintenance and ongoing bits and pieces,
Starting point is 00:43:29 which, yeah, of course, none the wiser, but... They never tell you that, do they? They never tell you that. They don't tell you that when you buy the ring and they don't tell you that when you have insurance, that you've got to take it to a jeweller's every year and maintain these things yeah and uh you know the most gutting part is that like the engagement ring had been sold to the wedding ring so the whole lot was um pretty much a loss oh no that's replacing engagement and
Starting point is 00:43:58 wedding band which is the big thing oh god that's do you ever knock off for that as well vaughn you ever get them from timo actually yeah. Teemu rings. Yeah, Teemu rings. Make your finger... Keep your zirconias. Make your finger go green. Yeah, it makes your finger green. Get brass, don't get gold. No one can tell the difference after a little while.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Oh, that's rough, Steve. Thank you. Some more messages in. When did insurance say no? I applied for life insurance. They asked the drugs question, and I was being honest. They said, about 15 years ago, I tried a stimulant tablet that was bought from a dairy
Starting point is 00:44:25 and they declined. What? But it was like completely legal and I bought it from a dairy. It's like declining someone for buying smokes or a pack of chips. That's wild. It was completely legal.
Starting point is 00:44:38 That's wild. They declined my insurance. Do you think there's this like team of people that work in insurance that are like, okay, how are we going to get them? And they're like brainstorming. Yeah, insurance investigators.
Starting point is 00:44:48 I think it would be a fun job. I think it would be too, actually. But I wouldn't want to go after people doing stuff like that. I want to go after people actually defrauding you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably out of thousands. Yeah, the big defrauders. My dad's truck got stolen when he went to use a public toilet
Starting point is 00:45:02 in the Waikato. He left it running. Obviously, the keys were in it, so insurance didn't pay out. The cops found it three weeks later in Timaru, so it caught the ferry. My dad hitchhiked down, picked up the truck and drove it back. Wow. Did he dish out of hiding as well? This is rough.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Went in for a colonoscopy. I had stomach pain. $5,000 for if you know uncovered yeah insurance said no less than 24 hours before the appointment but i'd already started the prep oh which if you know you're evacuating your entire body yeah why did they say no they haven't said had to pay ourselves i mean you've done the prep you're still gonna well you want to know as well if something's wrong down there god yeah It's not something you just put off. Maybe sometimes it's like
Starting point is 00:45:46 if you've got a family history, they can, you know, be like you're predisposed to it. Somebody said the trick to if you haven't been maintaining your ring and you lose the diamond, you actually just lost the whole ring. Yeah, I know,
Starting point is 00:46:00 but our lovely friend Steve was trying to be an honest person and say that a broken head appeared. They said they had a decline. Yeah, not encouraging people to do something fraudulent. Oh, absolutely not. Incredibly stupid of you to say. In moderation.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Yeah. After the Hawke's Bay Cyclone, insurance said no to fixing a flat. So those are shaking his head at me. Sometimes you think he doesn't have a mortgage. I've got a whopping mortgage, but I've also got insurance to cover the mortgage if it all goes tits up. So what I need them to do is fire me, not make me redundant.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Okay, right. Oh, yeah, yeah, great. Somebody said they just found that out. Yeah, that's in a thing, isn't it? Life and mortgage insurance had a redundancy clause. Income protection insurance and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Over the Hawke's Bay Cyclone Insurance said no
Starting point is 00:46:46 to fixing our blown culverts on our farm that blew up, well, because of the vast amount of water that was coming down them. Apparently we needed to individually list each culvert and give it an identification on the policy to have them covered. Those are the things we live and we learn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Our Colin Oscar B friend had been to the doctors four years earlier for a sore tummy. Oh, so they said it was pre-existing. They'll get you on pre-existing. Piss off. That is taking the piss. And some time passes. We're not having a go at insurance companies,
Starting point is 00:47:16 but that's taking the piss. They, I am, it costs a bloody fortune. They will, enough time passes. Say you have an issue and it's got a 10-year pass on it, and after 10 years that issue's not a problem to you anymore. They don't just come to you and say, hey, is that, well, let's do that. You have to go to them and prove to them with a new doctor's thing that there's no issues in that.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Gil. What a nightmare. What a nightmare it is, adulting. Somebody said, if you ever try to claim anything to do with any insurance and there's any asbestos involved, they'll say no. Oh, yeah. Asbestos clause. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Big asbestos clause. Oh, did you read this about the broker stuffing up? No. So my insurance company said no when I was hit by a drunk driver. So you're not in the wrong at all. Turns out our broker hadn't paid the insurance company. But you don't pay the broker.
Starting point is 00:48:10 You pay the insurance company and they pay the broker. Because my mum had all the documents that said we'd paid the insurance company and then they had to pay it out. But the broker had made a bit of a stuff up there. They'll always try it on and say no
Starting point is 00:48:23 and you can always try and push back. Yeah, totally you can. Goodness me. God, I'm just feeling money leaving people's accounts with all these texts. So much money. Anxiety. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. This time tomorrow, broadcasting live
Starting point is 00:48:40 from Napier Airport at Hawke's Bay Airport for the revealing of the new fire truck name, which we hope will be Alpac, the one that we have got behind and really... Campaigned hard for. We swayed. I feel like we swayed the vote towards Dame Judy Drench. That's right.
Starting point is 00:48:58 As the name for the fire truck. We'll find out tomorrow live on the show. Excited. Group trip down to Napier today. Very excited. Yeah. Well, we might need to look after Dad, though, because he's lost his marbles somewhat.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Vaughn, yesterday, to be fair, I always lose my keys, and losing your keys is a classic thing to lose. Yeah. But, Vaughn, we were about to leave the studio, and you realised you didn't know where your keys were. Yep. I was like, there's my phone, there's my wallet. You got your big backpack.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Yep. Had a look through there. Everything was clear in the studio. The studio was empty. Completely. We were like out the door, tidied up, ready to go. And then what did you do? You employed the use of your tile.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Yeah, I've got it. No, it's an ear tag. Oh, my God. How embarrassing that I called it a tile. I apologise. Can I please issue a sincere apology that I assumed you had a tile? By the way, it's got a low battery now. Didn't before.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Because you keep losing your keys. I've never had to replace the batteries in them. How do you do them? You twist it. And then you just put a new one in. Can we stop on the way to the airport today and get some new batteries? No, we're not stopping. I want eggs.
Starting point is 00:50:06 I don't, I need to get some of these. I've said it every time. That's so much fun. Yeah. Tiles are so great. Like I've got one in my wallet. Yeah. I've got one in my key, my bag, my luggage.
Starting point is 00:50:16 I've got one in the base of the neck of both of my daughters. Yeah, yeah. I've popped one up Fletcher's bum. No, you say that, you say that, but who's that royal who's like 11th in line for the throne who played rugby? Beatrice. Beatrix. Fowl Moina. Beatrix Fowl Moina. You say that, but who's that royal who's like 11th in line for the throne, who played rugby? Beatrice. Beatrix.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Fowl Moina. Beatrix Fowl Moina. No, Mike Tindall. Yeah. Yeah, there was a big news story in the UK. He was seen clipping ear tags to his kids. I saw that. I jumped August off at a birthday party once,
Starting point is 00:50:40 and I took it off the keys and clipped it on her belt. They were at a birthday party at like a movie theatre or whatever. And what's to say she's not going to go out of the movie to go to the toilet halfway through and someone's going to snatch her up? Snatch her up. That's like in that episode of Black Mirror where the mum is... They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats.
Starting point is 00:50:56 They're snatching up my children. You're like that parent on that episode of Black Mirror watching the kid on the iPad all the time. I don't have kids and have no desire to do it, and I'm very happy living a childless life. It's one of the best existences to ever happen to me. But if I had a kid, I feel like it would be my right to know where they are.
Starting point is 00:51:15 And in a day of modern technology, 100%, I'd chip them. When they're teenagers, they get a bit of freedom until they muck it up once, and then they get the chip put in the base of their eye. No, no, no. You need to be chipping the kids to their 18. I don't chip them after 18. I chip those chipping, chipping, chipping dales.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Well, lucky for you, your keys are chipped with the year tag. Because I went into my phone, I was like, find my, and then I went to items and then I was like keys and I pressed like find. But you say I had a senior moment. All three of us were walking around befuddled being like, I can hear it. Where is it?
Starting point is 00:51:50 Yeah, because it kept moving. Where is it? No, but because where it was was the most ludicrous, stupid position. It was in your back ass pocket. They were in my back pocket. But everybody was, nobody found them for ages. It was in your pocket. And because it was like.
Starting point is 00:52:03 And I kept moving and it kept going... We're like, oh my god, it's moving. Bouncing off all the hard surfaces. Wait, are they under there? Of course we're not looking for your back pocket because we assumed you would have checked there already. Real senior moment from you.
Starting point is 00:52:19 They were in the old back pocket. It's like when you're like, god, I've lost my sunglasses and then after five minutes of looking, they're on your head. Worse, you're wearing them. Yeah. Have you ever done that? Oh, 100%. Oh, my God, where are my sunnies?
Starting point is 00:52:31 So have you noticed it's a bit shady in here? Where are my sunglasses? And someone thinks, you did that. On your nose, mate. Yeah, I knew that. I knew that. I knew that. Play ZM's Fletch Vornanale. Play ZM. A couple of days ago, Bedford Police in Ohio, America,
Starting point is 00:52:52 were called by a family who said that their little girl was missing. Eight years old, gone. She was playing. Should have been air tagged. Should have been air tagged. We should have chipped her. We should have bloody chipped her. They said, yep, the parents calling,
Starting point is 00:53:06 destroy, where she was just playing, oh my gosh, she's gone. One thing that may be worth note is that our car's also gone. Oh no. And they're thinking, oh my God, someone's come, they've stolen the car and taken our child.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Imagine the stress. God, you'd be beside yourself. Indeed. Imagine their relief when they found the car at a local Target store. We've got a version of Target. It's not a huge thing for us, but Target's massive. No, we've got Furniture Target.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Is it a different one? Australia's got Target. Australia's got Target. Yeah. They're just big. Walmarty, Kmarty. Yeah, kind of a Kmart warehouse. Yeah, a bit of everything.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Groceries and stuff as well. America laps that stuff up, don't they? They do. They just lap it up. They're like, heaven forbid we have to go to five different stores. Let's put them all in one. All my guns in my soup. Found the car, the missing car, in a Target.
Starting point is 00:53:58 And they went inside the Target where they found this eight-year-old girl and she was shopping. She was having a little peruse around. Absolutely unharmed, having the time of her life. Turns out this eight-year-old girl and she was shopping. She was having a little peruse around. Absolutely unharmed, having the time of her life. Okay. Turns out this eight-year-old stole the car, drove it to Target, which is 10 miles. What's miles? Wow.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Is that 16 k's? Yeah, that's a long way. 16 kilometres. Yeah, a 20 to 25 minute drive. How does an eight-year-old see above the steering wheel or the dashboard? I wouldn't even be angry at this stage. I'm amazed. I'm amazed.
Starting point is 00:54:28 I'm amazed too. I mean, obviously it's an automatic. She's there. She's like putting in the clutch. She's not driving a manual. No. So drove 20 to 25 minutes because she wanted to go to Target to have a little shop, but her parents were like, we're not taking you shopping.
Starting point is 00:54:41 She said, fine, I'll take the bloody car myself. Guys, I mean, you have to... Completely unhurt. You have to say this eight-year-old's quite advanced to be able to drive a car. Then the officers were like, did anything happen? Are you okay? She said, well, I hit a mailbox on the way.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Other than that, I'm fine. But that was it. I hit a mailbox. Oh, my God. So she can't, she's too young to be charged with a criminal offence. Yeah. And they're just grateful no one was injured.
Starting point is 00:55:05 And she's obviously been in a lot of trouble with her parents. Yeah, but the parents can't get in trouble, can they? How? If she nabbed the keys and took off. No, I wouldn't think so. No, it's not neglect to leave your keys around while your kid's playing. No. I guess what, now you've got to lock up your keys.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Oh my God. That's wild. Then you'll need a key to get to your keys? Oh, my God. That's wild. And you don't need a key to get to your keys. Your keys, keys. Anyway, we want to know this morning, what was your youth crime? Now, obviously, you know, let's not dive into real bad stuff. Yeah, yeah. But those little things that you did, like, I remember I did a prank call once with some friends.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Prank call. I was peer pressured into it by Jack Wiley. I'll call him out. Okay. Where were you prank calling? At Jack Wiley's house. We were hanging out there. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Who did you prank call? Another kid from school. Okay. Harmless. And then I think their parents answered and we said like, and just like did something to her. I don't know. What did you?
Starting point is 00:55:59 The characters or something. Oh, okay. I can't even remember. And the parent called all of our parents and was like your daughter's been doing prank calls and stuff so my mom as punishment called the local cop because we lived in a small little town called the local cop and he like pulled us in like we were going to get arrested and i remember all of us being like how often do you think parents say to the local cop hey can you just scare my kids a little bit?
Starting point is 00:56:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%, and they did, and we were like crying and everything. But that was my youth crime. Other than that, no crimes committed. I mean, that wasn't stealing a car, though, was it? No. That is wild. Okay, well, if you want to share this morning,

Do you reckon she had any money though or was she just window shopping? Like she would have got there and been like. Or taken her pocket money. Or maybe she was planning on doing another crime and stealing it. Trying to think when I was eight like
Starting point is 00:57:39 being able to take a car. That's insane. It's wild. On a road. You're probably driving them around paddocks and driving motorbikes and stuff. I was going to say if you were Being able to take a car, that's insane. It's wild. On a road? Yeah. You're probably driving them around paddocks and driving motorbikes and stuff, but not on the road. Well, that's the thing. This is from Ohio, right? Maybe she was on a farm and kind of did know how to drive. How to drive.

Jessica, what was your youth crime? Naughty Jess. I used to steal bits of petty cash from my mum all the time,
Starting point is 00:58:12 just from her wallet. We were in a small country school. I don't even think I spent it on anything, to be honest. But just, you know, little $2 coins here, $1 coins here. Yeah, right. Bit of a klepto. Buy a pie for lunch or something. A juicy.
Starting point is 00:58:27 That quickly stopped when she picked me up for school one day and said we were going to the shopping and then dropped me off at the police station across the road from the supermarket. Good move, Mum. Yes. I love this. And the cop locked me up and she went across the road
Starting point is 00:58:45 and did her shopping for like 15 minutes and then came back and got me. And did you ever? You went in the little remand cell? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God. How old were you, Jess? I think I was about nine or ten,
Starting point is 00:58:59 so I wasn't like that old, but old enough to know. Old enough to know that it was wrong. And how long were you in the cell for? it was about 15 minutes she just went across the road and got a couple of things and you're like I'm here forever
Starting point is 00:59:10 they should have a cell at the police station to drop your kids off when you go to the supermarket you know yes just to teach them and listen get them out of the way
Starting point is 00:59:16 because did that from going on forward from then Jess did you ever do anything law breaking? no no

Put the shits right up, yeah. Jess, thank you. Abigail, what was your youth crime? I was about 10 or 11 years old, and it was actually in England,
Starting point is 00:59:40 and we used to be able to, like, you know, like pick and mix lollies? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Actually, just on that, if I could sidebar, if I could sidebar you, Ryan. Just on pick and mix lollies, I walked down the aisle at the supermarket the other day. The coconut ice, they've made them a lot smaller, the cubes. Have they? Have you ever shown me that you're paying by weight?
Starting point is 00:59:55 Yeah, I want a big, big cube. He likes the big bits. I want the interior. I want the, yeah. And you want more interior, less surface area. Yeah. Okay. Very cool.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Side note, side note, finish. Sustained. Back to you, yeah. And you want more interior, less surface area. Yeah. Okay. Be cool. Okay, sustained. Side note, sustained. Back to you, Abigail. Back to the prosecution, Abigail. What did you pick and mix? So you could like, you put your own lollies in a bag and then you weighed them and printed a sticker yourself to take them to the checkout.
Starting point is 01:00:19 Yep. And I kind of didn't put the whole bag on the scales. I sort of lifted them up a bit so, you know, it wouldn't cost you anything. Little shit. And I got busted by the security guard. Oh, no! It was like maybe six or seven pence, so like, what, 15 cents?
Starting point is 01:00:37 Hardly anything at all, but I was absolutely... Well, you were buying a bag of lollies, and is that how much you were getting away with? Or you were only paying 15p? No, that's how much she saved. No, that's how much I was saving. Oh, right. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Barely worth it. I was absolutely bricking myself because my dad was a police officer. So I was terrified about it. Completely freaking out. And I was like, I can pay, I can pay. And counting out all these one pence pieces out of my little wallet to pay them back. Did you get in any further trouble?
Starting point is 01:01:10 Did they ban you from the store or anything like that? Or tell your parents? No, he didn't do anything. But my dad didn't actually find out until about 15, 20 years later when we'd moved to New Zealand, and he was also a police officer here, and he was giving me a hassle. I know when you've done anything wrong, I'm trying to pick up this kind of thing, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:01:31 And so I felt like blurting out all of these things that I'd done that he didn't know about. Jesus. He broke you. He broke you. He broke you. With some, yeah, harsh interrogation tactics. I stole 15 cents worth of lolly.
Starting point is 01:01:46 20 years ago. Thanks, Abigail. See, always looking over your shoulder. That's why it pays to be law-abiding. Honest. Honest. Some messages in. Your youth crimes.
Starting point is 01:01:56 I stole a gift card. Oh, but it wasn't activated. From a retailer, but it hadn't been obviously activated. I just stole the card. Put it down my pants. Walking down the street later, I was like, well, what's this I found? A gift card. And we took it into the store and they scanned it.
Starting point is 01:02:13 They were like, there's nothing on it. Someone's just stolen an empty gift card. To which I was like, oh, I can't believe someone would do that. God damn it. God damn it. I just went to scroll down to read along some of these messages. There's so many. There's eight.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Naughty. I wanted a book from the Lucky Book Club. Ashton Scholastic. Oh, we were too poor to get those. Yeah, we were never able to get a book from those two. Mum would be like, circle's the one you want. We'll go and see if the Moronsville Library's got it. I bet Hayley got every book she wanted in Ashton Scholastic Book Club.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Yeah, I did. Filled out the form, got whatever I wanted. Bitch. Bet you got a Where's Wally. Yeah, I got Where's Wally. I got some iSpies. I got some Magic Eyes. Did you get a Babysitter's Club?
Starting point is 01:02:52 I got a Babysitter's Club. I got some Goosebumps. I got some Goosebumps. You got some Goosebumps. You got some R.L. Stine up. I got some R.L. Stine. I got some Paul Jennings. I want, oh, Paul Jennings, great author.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Yeah, sorry guys. I don't want to privilege shame you. I wanted a Lucky Book Club book, but mum wouldn't let me, so I forged one of her checks. I did check fraud at nine years old and got away with it. Check fraud.
Starting point is 01:03:14 Stolen neighbour's gnome and went on a school exchange to France and sent photos the whole year of the gnome travelling around Europe. Oh yeah, that's pretty funny. That's pretty funny. I wouldn't even be. We used to prank call our teacher called Les
Starting point is 01:03:25 and say hello word lesbian. That's just ridiculous. When I was about six years old, I stole a balloon from the local para rubber. When my parents discovered it later that day, they marched me back into the store to return it and made me apologise. They're not alone.
Starting point is 01:03:42 They don't care. They're not taking that back with your goobers on it. Oh, you had a bit goober on that one. I accidentally, accidentally spent $500 on Doctor Who merch from Mighty Ape
Starting point is 01:03:51 on my dad's card when I was nine and it arrived at my door one day and my parents decided not to give it to me until my birthday. Oh, we still got it though. But you still got it.
Starting point is 01:03:59 Still got it. Still got it. They really didn't teach you a lesson there. They just taught you lay-by. Yes, they did. My friend stole his friend's parents. My friend stole his friend's parents' brand-new car, drove onto the school field and crashed it into a tree.
Starting point is 01:04:13 He rode off their brand-new car. He was 15 years old. That's no insurance, eh? Now, I know smack-ins against the law. That's a clip around the ear. I think this is a beating. You get a hiding, eh? You're getting a beating.
Starting point is 01:04:26 When I was 15, my friends found somebody else's F plus card with pay wave and they went on a little shopping spree. No. My friends. Kind of too old to plead ignorance on that. What were you going to say? No, I was just like you know. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. My friends.
Starting point is 01:04:42 My little My little brother and his friend got banned from the local Video Easy once. And they were threatened to call the cops on them because they were caught behind the curtain section. Oh, the curtain? Yeah, caught behind the curtain. What's behind the curtain? Boobies.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Boobies. Boobies be back there. My sister and I used to fight each other, including scratching and biting. My mum took us to the police station once and made the policeman tell us that we were both going to be charged with assault. Oh, my God. And he showed us the cells and he's like,
Starting point is 01:05:12 this is where you're going to end up if you get charged with assault. Pretty, pretty, stopped our fighting pretty effectively. Listen to this bratty behaviour. My sister and I used to, we moved all the plant name cards around the botanical gardens
Starting point is 01:05:22 and the plants called different things. My mum called us and made us apologise to the manager. That's so annoying. Oh, that would be annoying. Yeah, so that's when it was like, that's not a Biconicus phallocotus. That's a da-da-da-da-da-da. Of all the crimes we've heard, I find that the most disgusting.
Starting point is 01:05:39 That's disgusting. Thinkable behaviour. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today and all this week. Firefighter week. It's going well. Firefighter week. It's going well. Fire truck.
Starting point is 01:06:08 I thought it was fire engines and fire trucks. I said it's going well, but that was a lie, actually, because the first one was wrong. It's been a bit all over the show. Tomorrow, this time tomorrow, we will be officially unveiling the name of the new Hawke's Bay Airport fire truck. We've been invited.
Starting point is 01:06:22 We're VIP guests of honour. Yeah, we'll be down, we'll be in Napier and we'll be broadcasting live tomorrow. Very excited. Fun! Very excited. Yeah, well, I feel like this truck might let us down. Why? Because I found what
Starting point is 01:06:37 might be the coolest fire engine in the world. Okay, and this is today's fact of the day. It's in Russia and it's a tank. Fire engine tank? Russia have a firefighting tank. Wait, but that's a tank, not a fire engine. Hold your horses.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Okay. You know where the big cannon goes on top of the tank? Yes. Well, instead of a cannon, it has a jet engine. Okay. And you might be thinking, but Vaughn, that would be fanning the flame. It would be fanning the flame. If something's on fire and you run up to it with,
Starting point is 01:07:09 that's how you get a fire started. That's how a wildfire's been out of control. A wind squeeps them up and blows them through the valley. Do you remember being a kid and learning that blowing on fire makes it stronger? Yeah. What the hell? I've been blowing matches. I've been blowing out candles my whole life.
Starting point is 01:07:22 Yeah. It's your only experience of blowing on flames. Yeah. And that's actually how you get the fire bigger. Well, just in front of the jet engine where air hoons out, it has hoses. Okay. And an onboard water tank.
Starting point is 01:07:37 So when it goes fire and cranks up the jet engine, the water is infused into what it blows and it's effectively blowing like high-pressure water. So the air that comes out of the jet engine is at the back. So would the engine be switched around? Yeah, it's reverse. It sucks air in from the back.
Starting point is 01:07:54 Well, you've got to back up. It shoots towards the front. Well, no, you just put the engine on the other way. Or you're backing up to a fire with your hand behind the passenger seat. Spin all around. Watch out. No, they go forward, and that turret can't spin full 360. Right.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Because the water tanks are kind of quite heavy on the back. Right. And so the weight of the tank and the fact that they can drive against the force means that it can hold it there and then water gets pumped up in front of the jet and it just blows this insanely high pressure water. Water. Like a heavy mist. A very, very heavy mist that fires and can put out fires on the battlefield.
Starting point is 01:08:29 Can we have a look? Just for us? Is there a video? Just for us. I mean, I hate to be pro. Oh my God. Whoa. Yeah, I told you.
Starting point is 01:08:37 I told you. Whoa. I told you. That looks like some kind of James Bond. Yes. Like 80s James Bond villain tank. Dreamed up villain tank. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Oh, that's so cool. All the mods. Oh, that's insane. All the mods. I'd say that for the listener, that's worth Googling. I'll follow. Yeah, I'll agree with that. It's beautiful.
Starting point is 01:09:00 We could put a picture up where you could just Google the Russian tank that fights fire with a jet engine, which also might be one of the cooler headlines. Yeah, 100%. That's ever been associated to fact of the day. I'm still excited to unveil the flash brand new fire truck tomorrow. Oh, it's a cool truck. The airport ones are amazing. Yeah, they probably couldn't be rocking around with it.
Starting point is 01:09:20 No. I think getting to a plane quickly would take a while in that as well. Yeah, that's true. That would move slowly. Unstoppable. Yeah, they roll, don't they? The Czechs also did it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:09:33 The Czech Republic also has firefighting tanks. Oh, okay. It's basic same design. You just see one of those cruising down the street in like Wellington or something. You'd be like, oh my God. The Czech one's yellow and it's got a bit of a water tank. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:09:46 because it doesn't look like a tank as much. It's not a tank with just stuff strapped on. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, amazing.
Starting point is 01:09:52 I enjoyed that. Good fact. Thanks. Well, this is where I tell you who sent me the fact. Anthony, who is a regular
Starting point is 01:09:57 Fact of the Day contributor. So this is why it's good today because a listener stepped in. A listener stepped in. Anthony always knocks out of the park.
Starting point is 01:10:06 He's like, hey, I'd like to, like I might have all the week's facts sorted. And he's like, hey, I've just found this. And I'm like, every time. And you switch it. Every time he finds a great fact. He'd have a good place as a researcher as a job. He certainly would. Are you saying this company will hire me a researcher?
Starting point is 01:10:22 No, I don't think they will. That's hot on. I just got a message. Oh, it's upstairs. Yep. Hiring a researcher. Wow. I don't think they will. That's hot on. I just got a message. Oh, it's upstairs. Yep, hiring a researcher. Wow. You wish. Get it done, get it done.
Starting point is 01:10:30 So today's fact of the day is Russia has a firefighting tank. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's my birthday, 8th of October It's so far away and you're really going on about it It's my birthday on the 8th of October I'm having a small crisis about it because 35 feels... Because it's not a round number, but it's like a milestone number, isn't it? Your fives, yeah. And then from that second on, from 1am on the 8th of October,
Starting point is 01:11:18 then I'm heading towards 40. Yeah, because I had a five this year. Yes. But I didn't care about it. Yeah, I sort of don't care and then I have moments of caring. So you do care. So I do care. Anyway, my best friend was born the week after me
Starting point is 01:11:32 and we've been besties since we were three. So we spent a lot of birthdays together. And she was up this week staying with me, of course. Has there ever been a birthday where you were having like a tiff? Have you ever had a tiff? We've had one fight in our whole life. And we were young and our parents got on the phone to each other and sorted it out.
Starting point is 01:11:48 That's it. That's good. Yeah. No, we've never had a proper fight but I can't remember how we got into this. Oh, it's because we were enjoying a concert and we started talking about music and we talked about funeral arrangements because
Starting point is 01:12:03 once when we were teenagers we sat out on a deck. It was the night before big day out. And we were listening to music and having a tequila or two. Probably the cheapest stuff you can find. In moderation, obviously. In moderation to those that celebrate. Or a shishito over the course of an evening. That's plenty of moderation.
Starting point is 01:12:19 With waters in between. Thank you, Jose Cuiua Riviera. Yes, it would have been. And we, I remember in the midst of that conversation, the flurry of it all, we told each other our set list that we want to do for funerals. Like, I want this song, this song, this song. It's not morbid
Starting point is 01:12:34 at all. Not morbid at all. And we always talk about that night, but we admitted to each other the other night that we've forgotten all of these things. Well, and it would change as well because if I'd had this conversation, you know, at my 21st, you'd be playing the Venga Boys now.
Starting point is 01:12:47 I don't want the Venga Boys anymore. I'm a huge fan of the Venga Boys this time. Huge fan of steps and the Venga Boys. He's like on our shoulders. Guys, you know,
Starting point is 01:12:58 1999 me might have wanted that. Exactly. So this is the thing, right? We said this and we were chatting about this again and she said, well, I'm going to tell you then we were chatting about this again. And she said,
Starting point is 01:13:05 well, I'm going to tell you now because no one else will know. I want to have, and I said, no, no, no, don't tell me this.
Starting point is 01:13:11 I said, just write it down and put it in a message. And it was like some Lana Del Rey song. And this is my like metal head best friend. I was like, Oh, I would not have put that. So it's good that we know.
Starting point is 01:13:21 And she was like, right, well, it's updated. So I'm going to send you a message of all the things I want done at my funeral. And then you send the same and we'll do it. And I said, well, it's going to keep changing throughout our life. And we said, why don't we do it on our birthdays?
Starting point is 01:13:32 So now every single year on the 8th of October, I'll send her my list of the new funeral arrangements, the music, who I want to be there, who I want to speak, the festivities. And then a week later, she'll send me hers. And we're going to do it every day until the day comes that one of us dies. And then we've got the fresh. That's going to be so sad, the first birthday that you have after one of you dies and you've got to send a message to your friend
Starting point is 01:13:51 about what you want for your funeral having organised theirs. But how good is that as a yearly thing to remember that because it's going to change, you just send it to each other then and you'll be like, I've got the fresh updated list. I kind of like that. And then her mum's going to come in and be like, oh it to each other then. And you'll be like, I've got the fresh updated list. I kind of like that. And then her mum's going to come in and be like, oh, she loved this song. And I'll be like, no, she doesn't.
Starting point is 01:14:11 It's not on the list. I know this. But also morbid for you because you're so afraid of dying. I'm so afraid of dying. Yeah, hopefully I'm organising hers. And I say that with love, but I hope she does before I do. Because Sade always says, oh, this is my funeral song, don't forget.
Starting point is 01:14:26 I'm like, I don't need to remember this. She's like, why not? It's not like you're going to hear it. I'm in charge of the playlist. Oh, I thought you were meaning
Starting point is 01:14:33 it's more like, I eat so much red meat, I'm going before you. Oh, 100% that. 100% you're going before her. 100% that. I think this is going to be,
Starting point is 01:14:42 it will be slightly morbid, but I think it's sort of a fun way to make sure that you're getting what you want. Yeah, it's a cool tradition. Well, so why don't you just make a playlist? Because I don't want to listen to the music. Right. I don't want to listen to it all and the playlist will just sit there.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Because how we take on our music might change again in five days. Yeah, exactly. You might be back to the Venga Boys, actually. We might be back on cassette. You might be back, yeah. Yeah, exactly. I'll make a mixtape. You're going to make a mixtape?
Starting point is 01:15:07 Yeah. Okay. For your, you know, you're going to outlive. Well, I think it's... Fletch's going to outlive us all. Maybe you need to be in charge of mixtapes. Yeah, yeah, Fletch, if you could be in charge of it as well. It's a lot of responsibility.
Starting point is 01:15:18 It is a lot of responsibility, but otherwise someone's going to bury you when you want to be cremated and they're going to play the Venga Boys when you wanted them to play Lana Del Rey and it's not going to be you when you want to be cremated and they're going to play the Vinger Boys when you wanted them to play Lana Del Rey and it's not going to be the funeral you dreamed of. Play ZM's Fletch, Bourne and Hayley. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:15:32 Oh, wow. We've talked throughout the show. It's been a real school day for me, hasn't it? It's been a real learning for you. Some mic technique, coughing off mic. Listen, I've gotten so much better. Really good, really good. I've nailed it.
Starting point is 01:15:47 We're off to Napier to be part of the unveiling of the new fire truck, the airport fire truck, Hawke's Bay Airport. And we got behind the name Judy Drench. Yes. Now we're hoping that we'll be able to make sure that she's referred to by Dame Judy Drench, but casually just Judy Drench. Yes. Now we're hoping that we'll be able to make sure that she's referred to by Dame Judy Drench, but casually just Judy Drench.
Starting point is 01:16:10 Great name for a firetruck. And that's why we said vote for it. We swayed the vote. Yeah. God, if it's something else, we're going all this way for nothing. It'll be like, why did you invite us down? You just rub it in our face that we failed? Now as a show, we got very excited about this.
Starting point is 01:16:23 And we've actually had, I was going to say merch, but you can't buy it. Sorry, listener. It's ours. It's just private merchandise. We've had private merch made. Some T-shirts. I'm just going to grab mine.
Starting point is 01:16:35 Are we wearing these on the plane down or just tomorrow? Just tomorrow. Just tomorrow. These are also being unveiled tomorrow. Okay. Really great Photoshopping work. So we've got the truck. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Well, it's an AS colour tee as well. That's good quality. But it's a nice thin one, which I don't like super, super thick. Oh, but it'll be cold. I like a thick. Their thick t-shirts are great. That's why I've got a thermal layer for tomorrow. I don't have a thermal layer.
Starting point is 01:16:58 Do you know what I'm wearing today underneath my shirt? Long johns. A singlet. Yeah, it's like a cold child. A cold child. Yeah, it's a cold day. Shake your head. Full of rocks. Full of rocks. We it's like a cold child. Yeah, like a cold child. It's a cold day. Shake your head. Full of rocks.
Starting point is 01:17:06 Full of rocks. We've had a polar vortex blast, haven't we? We have. So I packed a singlet. So this is a T-shirt with the firetruck? The firetruck on it. And then the words, we're here with Judy Drench.
Starting point is 01:17:19 And then as a little addition, we've added a sun, almost like the Teletubbies sun that looked down on the Teletubbies. And in the sun, the sun's face is Dame Judy with an eye drench. Yeah. Dench. Dench.
Starting point is 01:17:34 Dame Judy Dench. Looking down proudly at how hard we have campaigned for this. These will be, I'm going to say, they'll become collector merch pretty quickly. Well, you can't get them. Limited edition. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's just us that have it.
Starting point is 01:17:51 Fantastic. So if it becomes a collector's item, that means that one of us has taken it to the Salvation Army afterwards and put it into circulation. Yes. And that's not on. Into a clothing bin. Team's worked very hard.
Starting point is 01:18:01 And then if it's not revealed as the name of the firetruck, we're just going to look even sillier. I'll throw a fit. I'll throw a classic Hayley Sproul in the 90s tantrum. Oh yeah, you're going to get on the ground? Yeah, I'm going to get on the ground. I'm going to put my feet up against the wall and start pounding it. Are you going to say I wish I wasn't
Starting point is 01:18:19 born? I'm going to say I wish you never had me. I'm going to put my hand behind my head like I'm going to thump you. It's going to be a full mental breakdown. Okay, great. But yeah, really looking forward to being in the Hawke's Bay tomorrow. In Hawke's Bay. It's not the Hawke's Bay. Yeah, I think. It's not the Ukraine.
Starting point is 01:18:36 I'm looking forward to being in a Hawke's Bay tomorrow. Which one? We don't know yet. Whose bay is it? You'll be in someone's bay tomorrow. Hopefully Hawke's, but we don't know. See ya, see ya later. Actually, I'm going to have to stop you there. That's copyrighted.
Starting point is 01:18:50 Susie 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.
