The ZM Podcast Network.
The Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod.
Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with MyMackers Rewards.
Good morning, welcome to the show.
Help me, I'm on Struggle Street.
Somebody was up late last night with producer Jared at the concert, weren't they?
Is producer Jared there?
You think I sound bad? Listen to this dude.
Good morning.
Oh, wow.
That's good.
God, you've gone a couple of octaves deeper, haven't you?
It really has.
Yeah, I'm feeling pretty masked today.
Wow.
You're vibrating.
Little fella.
Yeah, so last night, Pumper Roach, The Used, reliving your 2000s.
Teenage years.
Teenage years.
Did you cut your life into pieces? Or did you have another resort?
You know we did.
Yeah.
It didn't look, I saw a couple of videos you sent to the group chat.
It didn't look that full.
It got fuller as Papa Roach time came closer.
Yeah, there was definitely.
Tell me there weren't any for the used.
I know, there were definitely people arriving for Papa Roach.
Right.
Whereas I was there for the used and I may or may not have stayed for Papa Roach. Right. Whereas I was there for the used
and I may or may not have stayed for Papa Roach.
Do we not remember?
No, I remember, but me and JP got separated,
as you often do in a moshy crowd.
Did you not hold your hand up?
I don't know if you've seen me.
I'm not that tall.
He's a small guy.
He's a little helium balloon on a string. I was looking for blue hair in a crowd and when I couldn't know if you've seen me. I'm not that tall. Helium balloon on a string.
I was looking for blue hair in a crowd
and when I couldn't find it, I thought
this is my exit.
Oh, really?
I went home.
That's why I sound a little bit better
than old
vibratey bass man. What time did you get home?
What time was Papa Roach?
I got home just after 10. Oh, okay. Respectable. And then what time did you get home? What time was Papa Roach? I got home just after 10.
Oh, okay. Respectable.
And then what time did you get home, Jared?
I got home around 11.30
and then with some
nonnies as well. Yeah, but nonnies.
Thanks to the show sponsor there.
I'll tell you what. Eat dinner
before you drink.
It's a lesson I really learnt last night.
How many times
do you need to learn
that lesson?
Probably a dozen more.
Okay, right.
A few more years of it.
Big day today,
Wednesday,
the first episode
of Sex.Life
is out with yourself
and our friend of the show,
sexologist,
Morgan Penn.
I know.
It came out,
I think it was released
at three o'clock this morning.
You had a little half listen.
I've got a little half listen.
You were listening on the way in, weren't you?
Yep, I've got nine and a half minutes left.
What have you?
Because I'm listening at 1.2 speed.
Oh, okay.
This is my preferred podcast speed.
Right, okay.
It's stressful.
I've been in Vaughan's car when he listens to a podcast like that.
It's stressful.
Have you listened to us though?
Because we already talk really fast.
And so if you speed it up, we just sound a bit...
And if you listen to us, we sound like...
It's herning.
It's herning.
But yes, the podcast is out today.
Very exciting.
Go and listen to it after you finish listening to us today.
Morgan joins us in studio this morning to talk about the first episode and what you can expect.
A chance for you to win Lizzo tickets as well around quarter past seven this morning.
You've just got to guess the song that you're playing on the flute, the Lizzo song.
To win a double pass to see her in July at Spark Arena in Auckland.
The top six is coming up soon.
Yep.
Chris Hipkins is off to the UK.
Oh, that's right. I chose the easy
option. Chris Hipkins
is off to the UK for the King's
Coronation. I've got the gifts he can take with
because it's customary to take a gift.
Yeah, you gotta. I mean, to a
coronation because it's been
76?
Yeah.
70 what years now since the last
coronation? No, 71, 72 years since the last coronation.
It was the Queenie.
So we're at a step with what exactly is expected of us at a coronation.
I mean, Katy Perry.
I wouldn't expect a coronation.
Rachel and Katy Perry.
What is it?
American Idol judges that were free that weekend?
Next on the show, it's been released science has found the worst e-cigarette flavour.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Well, I said scientists and researchers have found the worst e-cigarette flavour.
Yeah.
You would argue they're all the worst.
Even, because Aaron has a little toot on the vape. That's right, he does.
Yeah.
Because he's an ex-smoker.
He just has nicotine flavour.
Like, no flavour.
Really?
It's just nicotine.
But even that's got a sweet...
I still think it smells like candy floss.
It's sweet.
Right.
Because it seems like
it's the Wild West out there with vapes, right?
There are like a thousand shops around.
Yeah.
Our producer, Jared Jared loves a grape.
This is really going to kick you while you're down.
Hungover producer Jared. Yeah.
What flavour is yours?
I generally go with a grape ice.
A grape ice.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
You get a wharf of it.
You get a wharf of the grape and you're like
far out. It's like Hubba Bubba grape.
Right.
Well, researchers in Pittsburgh at a university have found that mint,
mint-flavoured vapes are the worst for you,
saying it's more toxic to your lungs than any other e-cigarette flavours.
Is it because it's, I don't know, mint really gets in you, doesn't it?
Apparently, the findings showed a greater number of microparticles in menthol
compared to menthol-free vape juice.
You know I love me a minty ciggy.
It's a mouthwash and it's a grand one.
What more could you ask for?
I mean, they're all bad, aren't they?
You never see a study.
There's like a study every week about vaping and it's never good.
We talked about some of the outrageous flavours you can find.
Is there a butter chicken?
If there's anything.
If there's anything.
Butter chicken vape.
I don't, no, I don't think they do savouries.
Flavour.
Of course they do.
Yeah, there was like onion and stuff.
An onion vape?
Butter.
Oh, no, there's butter juice.
Far out.
I'm too hungover to read about butter juice.
Could add a bit of garlic. That's your Mama Fiorelli's. Oh, yeah, there's butter juice. Far out. I'm too hungover to read about butter juice. Could add a bit of garlic.
That's your Mama Fiorelli.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mama Fiorelli's vape juice.
There's butter vape juice.
There is roast chicken vape juice.
There's garlic.
Bacon.
Yeah.
But black pepper.
Like, I've never smoked.
I've never vaped.
But these people
walk past you in the street
and it's definitely better
than getting a whiff
of somebody's...
Ciggies.
Ciggies.
Oh, it's weird now,
smelling ciggies.
You're like,
I know.
Someone's on the analogs.
You can smell them
a mile away.
It is weird.
It is, eh?
You're like,
have you not heard?
It's terrible for you.
Yeah.
There's Worcestershire sauce
flavoured vape.
Oh my God, yuck.
No, no, no.
Get a grab.
Does it have any other flavours on this list
that I'm medically bad?
Excuse me, I'm bored.
Very, very bored.
Were you at the concert last night as well?
No, no, no.
Are we boring you?
It only mentions the mint flavour,
just saying it's the worst of all.
It doesn't say like,
there's not like a top ten of, you know,
there's no,
what's your one? Grape.
Grape ice.
None of that on the list. Is there wine?
Wine flavoured?
Like a Pinot Noir.
They're different, surely. Well, either way,
all bad for you. Yeah, but
is it the better of the evils? This is the
thing with the studies, right?
It's like vaping
hasn't been around long enough
to do long-term studies on it.
So we don't know.
And now it's like
with cigarettes,
we're like, oh my God,
remember when we used to think
it was good for you?
Remember when doctors
used to prescribe them?
Yeah, way back.
Joe Hamill cigarettes.
Yeah, remember the 50s?
God, that was fun, eh?
Oh, what a great time
to be alive.
Take me back.
What a great time
to be a woman.
Same in radio.
They used to tell you
that it was good for your voice, eh?
Get on the ciggies.
In the late 40s or 50s.
Good for your voice
until you have to get
your voice box removed.
Because of the cancers.
And then you're
talking down your throat
and the nodules.
Yeah, your radio career
is over.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
You're down.
Play ZM's
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

The Osprey song The Osprey song Un, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis. The offspring song.
Un, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis.
So are we talking about like type of chocolate?
White chocolate, dairy milk chocolate or dark chocolate?
Got you, got you, got you.
Not your berry biscuit.
Okay.
No, turn his mic off.
I'm just saying white chocolate should be recognised as chocolate.
Vaughn, sometimes I think you and I should just start our own show.
The white chocolate's not chocolate show.
The classy, cool show with Vaughn and Hayley.
Not these trash opinions.
People that like white chocolate.
Yeah.
Oh, well.
Dairy Milk smashes everything.
71% of people
Respondee said dairy milk
Wow
I'd go dark
I went dark as well
Yeah
Okay
I went dark
Well we are different aren't we
Because I can't stop myself
On dairy milk
But could you eat a whole
But dark I can be like
Yeah
Like could you just eat
A whole block of dairy milk
By itself
Not without
Shitting yourself
No but it's gotta have
Something in it
Like it's gotta be
Berry biscuit Or it's gotta be like Same in it Like it's got to be berry biscuit
Or it's got to be like
Same
Dairy milk for me
Whereas I could eat a whole
You sound like a little bitch
I could eat a whole block of white by myself
Could you?
That's way crazier
White is so sweet
It's insane
It's so sweet
It's like wine milk
You're so sweet
Thank you
You are a sweetie
I am a sweetie
You are a sweetie I'm telling a sweetie. You are a sweetie.
I'm telling you now.
I'm such a sweetie.
Oh, no.
Yeah, dairy milk, I agree.
It's got to have some kind of nut or biscuit or lolly in it.
Whereas dark chocolate, I'm just like.
Yeah, I'm not talking about 90%.
Cacao.
Cacao.
Cacao.
I'm talking about your 70%.
Yeah.
Yum. Well, how did the nation vote? So dark milk came in second. Cow. Ga-ga-ga-gao. I'm talking about your 70%. Yeah. Mwah.
Yum.
Well, how did the nation vote? So dark milk came in second.
Dairy milk, 71%.
Dark milk, 18%.
White.
Chocolates, 11%.
So not that far behind.
I'm just in a minority again.
Must be hard, isn't it, being a white man?
Another white minority.
Wow, man.
Tell us your story.
You should start a podcast.
Ardendeach says dark because the other's aren't as yum.
That's basically, they're simple there.
Simple.
Okay.
Simple reasoning.
I bet that 14% for white, it was 14% at the time, is all Fletch.
That basic bitch.
Rude.
That's what Mark says.
Very rude.
On the point, Mark.
On point.
You know, caramilk and those kind of golds are under white chocolate.
Yes, well, that's what Mel said.
You're missing caramilk.
But caramilk is a white chocolate.
It's a caramelised white chocolate.
Yeah.
Danielle, creamy milk.
Creamy milk?
Creamy milk.
Just dairy milk.
Dairy milk.
Creamy dairy milk.
Miraka
What was it?
Kirimi
Miraka
Was the creamy milk
Creamy milk
Yeah oh that's right
So that's why Whittaker's called dairy milk
Yeah
Right
Gotcha
So that's a brand thing
But it's another vote for dairy milk
White is not chocolate
It's cocoa butter and condensed milk
Milk chocolate is too sweet for me now
And dark chocolate I pretend is healthy
At least by rattling off some health benefits while I drink
red wine for most of the same benefits.
Antioxidants. Melissa, there.
Probably not so keen on tomatoes.
The absolute home of antioxidants,
but gets it through her red wine and her
dark chocolate. As long as you're getting it.
Josh says, I know Fletcher's probably being
roasted right now for choosing white chocolate.
Thank you, Josh. But I've got to back him up on this one.
So sweet, so delicious.
Yeah, thank you.
So sweet.
Josh, listen to my new podcast,
11% Minority.
11% white.
It's called Minority Man.
I won't release it today
on the day of your new podcast,
Sex.Life,
but stay tuned.
Thank you.
Stay tuned.
Thank you.
Yeah, that's all.
That's all for Still a Little Pile.
That's the feedback.
That's the hot feedback on chocolate.
I lose again for me.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Now, you know I love me a dating term when they like to sum up a bit of...
Oh, you do.
You know.
Yeah.
Sum something up with a nice, concise little term.
Term, yeah.
Well, the new one is proximity crush.
Okay, is that when someone's on like Tinder or Grindr and they're like two metres away?
Yeah, basically.
And you're just like, what?
That'll do.
Oh, that'll do.
That'll do when you're out and you're like,
oh, it'd be nice to have a little fun tonight.
Yeah, that'll do.
You're here and you're talking to me.
So that's basically it.
They're going like, do you really
fancy someone or is it
just a proximity crush? As in like
is it convenient? Are they just
here? Are they available?
Do you work with this person?
Are they like literally living just up
the road? Totally. Right.
Are they the anchor of your
breakfast show and
I don't know, you chat to them every morning
and it feels like there's a real connection.
There's not though, is there?
Wow.
I don't know.
What?
Hang on.
She was opening right up.
She was opening right up.
Wow.
So you just shut it down.
I mean, there's lots of reasons that it's not going to work.
You just shut it down.
Tell me these reasons.
Because for me, I'm like, we get on well.
We're both tens.
We hang out well.
You've got an Audi.
I've got an Audi.
I could drive you around.
You could drive me around because, you know, I've only got a bicycle.
Yeah.
I think that's where it ends.
And for you, you're like, you don't like to put in too much effort into people or anything, really.
And I'm here five days a week.
That would be a great example of a proximity crush.
Yeah.
If it was, in fact, a crush.
So this can be done anywhere in the workplace
or even at the gym.
A lot of the time, it's like when we're at the gym,
especially Meera, I'm in the small area of the gym.
Yep.
You've got what you've got to look at.
You know, you can't be thinking about other people.
You've got what you've got to look at. Yeah., you can't be thinking about other people. You've got what you've got to look at.
Now at our gym, there's quite a lot to look at.
Tell you what, there was an absolute...
No, I won't.
I won't objectify that woman.
She had a rig.
I'll tell you what.
Well done for identifying that what you were about to say
was problematic.
And then I said it.
And then heading it off,
but then saying what you were going to say.
They're being pissed anyway.
Yeah. I simply
will not mention this woman's body,
but I'll tell you, the rig
on this thing. Oh my God, that's quite
outrageous for Vaughn to say. Yeah, it is actually.
When I say it. You can say that.
I haven't been to the gym since COVID.
Oh, you're just giving yourself a little
buffer. I mowed the lawns yesterday and I
was buggered.
Really?
Even today, like physically, I feel absolutely exhausted.
No, it's too soon.
You've got to relax.
Otherwise, you'd be like Fletch who's just got the long cough.
Well, I don't have it anymore.
No, but how long did that take?
I reckon probably a whole year of not being able to properly breathe.
Yeah.
All up.
Yeah, because you didn't know you had it.
No, not the second time.
And he was, you know.
But the second time was only like six weeks,
five weeks, six weeks.
Jesus.
Whereas the one before that was like nine months.
I ate a bag of chips after dinner last night.
Now, that's a problem if you're not doing the exercise.
Yeah.
It is, yeah.
How good's a bag of chips, though?
Spicy Doritos.
Oh, no.
I want them to bring Cool Ranch back.
They've got Cool Ranch in America.
They've never had that as an American flavor.
No, but they did have it in New Zealand for like a limited time.
Did they?
In the blue bags.
In the blue bags.
The Red or Blue Bag Competition.
Yep, it was blue.
Yeah, that was yum.
And they were so yum, but why don't they have them now?
Not spicy enough, though.
These are spicy.
I think they're called Spicy Nachos Doritos.
Free plug.
Oh, the Thai Chili's the best Doritos flavour.
Yeah, Thai chilli rules. Nah, what about
like a double, do they still do a double
salsa? They used to do a double
salsa.
I think Doritos are trash cornchops.
Oh, do Doritos rule?
No, I'm not a big cornchops girl
in general, but if I do, I get the red
bag. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you doing
with it though?
Are you dipping it in a salsa or using it as nachos?
Yeah, yeah, nachos.
I don't use Doritos for nachos.
The party pack.
You've got to get the family size pack.
You've got to get the big one, the round corn chips for nachos.
The round one, yeah, that's right.
Oh, yeah, those ones, yeah, yeah.
And if you're getting like a salsa and you've got guac and stuff, no, no, no, no.
But if you're just going to gorge a pack of chips, like raw dog.
No, I'd go crinkle potato.
Yeah, you're right.
Doritos is a gorge, raw dog chip.
Gorge, raw dog gorge.
You're not a dipper.
Not if you've got Doritos.
Not a guac.
Doritos don't need to be dipped.
Unless they're the plain ones.
Oh, yeah, don't buy the plain ones.
And then those need to be dipped.
Yeah.
Don't buy plain ones.
How do we get from proximity crushes to Doritos? But if we're talking about just straight up gorging a bag of chips.
Snack a Changi.
Snack a Changi salt and vinegar.
Snack a Changi all the time.
Or the sour cream.
No, that's so good.
I'll just say Bravo Lee Hart.
Yeah, great chips.
How did he land on his feet again?
How did he pull that off?
How's he doing this?
How did Lee Hart, he's rolling down a hill and all of a sudden he's running.
Yeah.
He's lost and he's rolling, rolling, and he's back on his feet.
Did sausages for a bit?
Yeah.
Sausages.
I tell you what, those chips though, he's nailed those chips.
He's nailed those chips.
They're great chips.
Number one.
Number one chip.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Second only to the Grainwave.
Should we do Friday rankings?
Shut your mouth.
No, because Grainwave's just changed. It's off. Now it's got Sun only to the Grainwave. Should we do Friday rankings Chips? Shut your mouth. No because Grainwave's
changed. That's off. Now it's got
Sun something on the front. Terrible. They changed the
recipe. Friday rankings, final rankings
Chip? Surely. I think so.
I mean I'll talk about Chips any day.
No we did because I'm a
sour cream and Chips. Okay. Join
me for my new podcast Chip Off The Old Block.
You can't. Every week you dive into
a bag of Chips. Hayley's got a podcast

but never really got around to talking about.
Stunning for the rugged Kiwi farmer man.
Yeah.
To hear two farm boys opening up like that.
Chip off the old block.
I don't know.
People will hate the fact that there's a rustly bag of chips
constantly.
Constantly with your mouth full.
And the podcast is only 15 minutes long.
Tops, because that's how long it would take me and my dad to own a bag of chips
King Charles you will be our

Yeah.
That was the Queen's
official Coronation meal.

Isn't it a quiche or something?
A quiche.

Dude, you boring, you boring, boring man.
He could have had anything.
Roast leg of lamb.
King swan.

The King's quiche.
What's going to be in the quiche?
Peas and ham.
Square bits of carrot.
Yes.
And cubed ham.
100%.

Oh, yeah, okay, right.
The grey was the groom's mate.
The grey was nice.
Oh, the groom's mate.
Are you still?
Are you going to go blue then?
Good question if I can fit that.
I think so because it had a bit of room.
It had a bit of, oh, no, it didn't.
It was a perfectly fitted.
It was a perfectly fitted model dimension.
Oh, yeah, now you've had COVID.
Have you modeled dimensions?
I've got the COVID five.

a knife from King of Knives.
Oh yeah. Great shop.
Great shop. Don't they have them in a
Westfields over there though?
Do they? Don't think so.
Oh, okay.
Number five on the list of the top six gifts to the king.
A king of cards voucher.
So you can go and buy a board game or, I don't know,
maybe he's into Warhammer.
Probably, not with those sausage fingers.
Oh, my God, he'd struggle to keep them because of his huge fingers.
Any board game, he wouldn't even be able to pick up a Monopoly piece
with those fat fingers.
I'm not playing Monopoly, but I wanted to be the little
Scottish Terrier. I'm just going to
Google again King Charles fingers because it's
so funny. Oh no.
Oh my god.
They're waterlogged. Yeah, they are.
They are waterlogged.
Maybe he's been overdoing the creatine.
You know when you have a leak in the bathroom
and it hits some of the cheap joinery and swells the MDF?
The MDF swell.
He's got MDF swell.
Number four on the list, the top six gifts of the king.
An Adventure Kings four-wheel drive voucher
so you can get a rooftop tent.
Oh, yeah, nice.
Get up there, him and Camilla can go rooftop tenting.
One of those shelters that people put on.
Felden shelters.
My God, I see so many of those.
How many times do people use them?
Like, surely...
The drag?
Yes.
If you're just driving around on it, put it on if you're going on an adventure.
I would love a rooftop tent.
I think it would be super fun to just be like,
should we just go and sleep at the beach for a while?
Same, but if you use it once or twice a year,
don't leave it on your four-wheel drive and drive around town every day.
It'd whistle, eh?
It'd whistle, it'd drag, it'd flap.
It probably just wouldn't be great for the tent.
Well, yeah, and it'd cost so much in fuel.
So much drag.
So much drag, my dudes.
So much drag.
Number three on the list of the top six gifts for the king,
a storage king voucher.
Because he's got all the stuff and he needs to store it somewhere
when he's got castles
he's already richer
than the queen
I read this week
is he
yeah
imagine all the rooms
in the castles
yeah
clutter
you know
something cool
about going to
a storage unit
I love going to
a storage unit
when you
swipe your little
thing and the gate
goes
yeah
sometimes I just
sit in mine.
Yeah, well, you're paying for it.
With all my cool stuff.
Why not?
Yeah.
Number two on the list of the top six gifts of the king,
a voucher for Culture Kings.
Okay.
What's he going to wear for Culture Kings?
A huge.
Dr. Dre t-shirt.
Yeah, a huge old Michael Jordan slam dunking t-shirt.
Yes.
Or a retro Chicago Bulls flat peak hat.
Yes.
And number one on the list of the top six gifts to the king,
a voucher for King's Plant Barn.
Everything you need.
Everything you need.
Yep.
He'd love that.
Pop in, get himself a...
What would he have?
Monstera.
A big Monstera energy.
And he's got the runes to really let it sprawl.
No, he'd get a piece of Lily.
Easy.
Easy.
Yeah.
Can't kill him. Filters the air. to really let it sprawl. No, he'd get a piece of Lily. Easy. Easy. Yeah. Can't kill him.
Filters the air.
That is today's top six.
Pym Eyes
is the name of a website
that is being called
the most disturbing AI website
on the internet.
Pym Eyes.
Pym Eyes.
P-I-M?
Eyes. E-Y-E-S. Okay. Drink internet. Pim Eyes. Pim Eyes. P-I-M? Eyes.
E-Y-E-S.
Okay.
Drink too many Pimses.
You have a few too many delicious Pimses.
Oh, how's a Pim's with like a Granny Smith apple in it?
Oh, a Granny Smith apple?
Yeah, like some oranges.
Oranges, yes.
Strawberries.
No, Granny Smith apple, trust me.
Some people go too heavy on the cucumber while making a Pim's.
Oh, I love cucumber in a drink.
It's refreshing. I like to put a bit of a hot sauce
in my Pimms. Okay. Anyway,
enough about Pimms. It's nothing to do
with Pimms' website. PimEyes is
a website and you
upload a photo of yourself
and it uses that picture to
collect and find all
of the photos of you that
are supposedly on the internet.
So if it was to work correctly, you would upload it and it would show you all the photos,
like drunken nights out, photos that people have tagged you in,
photos that people have posted that you might not be tagged
and you didn't even know was on the internet, anything.
Wow.
And then it shows you how you could get rid of them.
But you've got to look at them first.
That's quite scary.
Is it like a Google reverse image search
where it just finds people that look like you though?
Yeah.
Although AI is a lot smarter.
It is smarter,
but a lot of people are saying like,
it's kind of good at finding doppelgangers.
You know, there's that,
what's that?
Shutterstock.
Yeah.
Photo of a woman breathing in the wind.
Yeah.
And that looks like me.
They'd find that.
You're not going to try it?
I don't want to see this.
No, I don't want to.
Yeah, because what's out there?
Even to remember.
But then can it stop other people uploading photos of you?
No, no, you can't stop that.
You can just find them.
So I suppose you could do it all the time.
But a lot of people that have tried it already say
it's better at finding your doppelgangers
than it is tracking down every picture of you on the internet.
The first two pictures were of the person that was looking
and then the remaining six were images.
Eight images.
I reckon there's hundreds of me on the internet.
But I am incredibly famous.
You're incredibly famous, yeah.
But yeah, they said a lot of them were just people
with similar facial features.
Right. But see, I don't know if them were just people with similar facial features. Right.
But see, I don't know if I want to see people that look like me either.
That's just weird.
Yeah, because like Vaughn, you get it all the time, right?
People send a picture of a white man with a bald head and a beard.
Yeah.
And they're like, it's Vaughn.
Oh, what are you up to, Vaughn?
It's nothing like you other than the beard.
It's very baldest to do that.
It's really bald.
Beardest and baldest.
Yeah.
Well, it's hairest to do that. It's really bald. Baddest and baldest. Yeah. Well, it's hairest to do it.
So, I mean, if you want to search
yourself, pimeyes.com
P-I
P-I-M-E-Y-E-S
dot com
Yeah. It's like a reverse image
search, basically. I mean,
I haven't, I don't want to, I don't
want it. I don't. I could upload a photo of me, but again it's like, you know. I mean I haven't, I don't want to, I don't want it. I don't
I could upload a photo of me but again
it's like, you know, how many
Women's Day interviews have I done? One day
we're going to look back and think, why did we let AI
exist? Why did we
let this happen? Why did we let it know so much about us?
It's not going to be good. This isn't going to be good.
This seems like we're training it again.
Hey, here's a photo of me. Here's
everybody that looks like me. That's me, that's me, that's me, that's me.
Thank you.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm doing it.
Hang on.
It's like I'm uploading a photo.
It's telling me you can add more photos so it's got better reference.
Yeah.
But I'm just uploading me.
Well, that's like the AI voice.
The more of your voice sample you upload, the better it is.
The better it can be.
The better it gets at mimicking you as well.
Server is overloaded.
It's because we're talking about it.
That's the power of radio right there.
We've gone and broke the internet again.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Producer Carwin, one of her favourite things to watch on TikTok,
prison influencers, ex-cons.
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
People that are often women actually, but that's probably just my four-year page, that have been. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. People that are often women, actually.
Okay.
That's probably just my four-year page.
That have been in prison, now aren't.
They've never done anything major, major.
No murderers.
No.
Right.
But, yeah, they've left prison and now they're on TikTok to be like,
oh, this is what it was like.
This is how we did our makeup.
Oh, yeah, I've seen that.
How do they do their makeup?
They use all sorts of things, eh?
Like mud.
No, what do they melt down for eyeliner?
Crayons.
Yeah, M&M's.
M&M's.
Yeah, yeah, they'll get, like, blue M&M's and melt them.
Are you kidding me?
And then use it as, like, eyeshadow and stuff.
Yeah.
What?
Well, why do you need makeup in prison?
Just to feel and look good.
Oh, okay. Yeah, man. Oh, my God, my mustache. Are you allowed raz makeup in prison? Just to feel and look good. Oh, okay.
Yeah, man.
Oh, my God, my mustache.
Are you allowed razors in prison?
Probably not.
My mustache would, like, start curling, I reckon.
I think you are allowed to shave in prison, right?
I feel like you might be allowed to, like, have 30 minutes with a razor in the shower type situation.
Right.
And then they take it back off you.
Right.
God, imagine you'd be so hairy coming out of prison.
The latest prison influencers aren't the ex-cons.
No.
They are the current cons.
In prison, and particularly in the UK, they call them HMP Butlins,
meaning His Majesty's Prisons Butlins, which is like a resort,
like a leisure resort, you know, like a fun thing.
Right.
And they show inmates, like one of them is like this inmate
showing all of his phones he's got
and how much he charges
for people to use them. For an iPhone in prison
it's like 5,000
pounds.
Yeah.
And then he's got this tiny guy.
It's not going to get found by the guards.
So then they've got these tiny, tiny, tiny
little phones that you could put anywhere to hide.
Smuggle over.
So you could smuggle a phone.
How do you get a phone that tiny?
Are they special?
I don't know.
Specially made phones?
Yeah, I don't know.
So you could text and stuff.
But the smartphones, obviously they can use social media.
So they'd have like SIM cards in them.
So they're uploading these TikToks from prison.
Where do you charge it?
Like, how do you charge it?
Is there a PowerPoint
in prison?
Well, yeah,
you're allowed to power.
They have radios and stuff.
Yeah, because you're allowed to,
some of them have TVs and radios,
so there'd be PowerPoints.
Yeah.
But like,
look how wide my phone is.
Yeah, no,
but they've got a mix.
I know,
but how do they get the iPhones in?
Guards.
Guys,
you need to watch
Mirror of Kingstown.
Oh, guards.
Guards.
Guards.
And once you've done it once,
once you've got a guard to do something for a gang once,
you've got them on the hook.
Yeah.
You sound on that.
Yeah, Mare of Kingstown's great, isn't it?
So they've also got videos of them like partying hard,
like going off.
Well, they've got their shirts off.
They're listening to music.
They're just like having a party. That's why they say it's like a bloody resort in here.
They're just like having a party. That's why they say it's like a bloody resort in here. They've got
like, they're drunk.
It's so wild that they can't just
watch these TikToks and then go
and find their phones. They also, they
always have, at these
parties, they're always cooking
and I've either got
marijuana or spice.
I forgot what spice was, but it's like a synthetic
marijuana. Right.
And isn't that the one that makes you bloody lulabby?
Spice is the drug in the Star Wars universe.
Is it?
But they're drugs in Star Wars.
From Lofol, from Tatooine?
Those, they get little pigeons with backpacks
to fly into the prisons.
Hang on, who's doing drugs in the Star Wars universe?
There's a drug trade.
It's just a universe, isn't it?
There's going to be bad substances.
There's going to be contraband.
Oh, my gosh.
I never knew there were drugs in Star Wars.
Yeah.
Yeah, spice.
Goodness me.
Well, spice is a synthetic.
It's what Uncle Tim was fighting against in the Book of Boba Fett.
Right.
Spice traders.
Well, anyway, they're having an absolute blast in prison.
Thank you both for engaging with me on a Star Wars chat there.
Did we do well?
Did we do real good?
Has Mandalorian finished yet?
Last episode this Wednesday.
Oh, okay.
Well, I can start watching.
Yay!
Welcome to Wednesday.
Yes!
A bit sad because it's the last episode.
Okay, well, I can start watching because I was waiting until they...
I want to binge it.
I want to binge it.
Yeah.
Anyway, if you want a little resort, a little time off,
a little holiday, a little break from civilization.
Chakabra.
Do a pity.
Do a pity.
No, don't do a crime, guys.
Don't do crime.
Buy a tiny cell phone.
You're going to have so much more fun not in prison.
Yeah, get yourself some TikTok fame.
Yeah, get yourself some TikTok fame another way.
Yeah.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan Ailey. Play ZM. fame. Yeah, get yourself some TikTok fame another way.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM. The return of
I Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name. It's been a while.
It's been a hot minute. How are you feeling
post-COVID?
Brain-wise. More in touch with
my psychic energy than ever.
Good! Alright, well that's coming up.
What's the moon doing at the moment?
It's a little toenail first thing in the morning.
It is too.
It's a little slither, isn't it?
A little slithery, a little slithery toenail.
First thing in the morning when I'm driving to work.
Yeah, it's my number two favourite moon.
Yes.
Slither toenail.
Full moon.
Full moon.
Full moon.
Slithery toenail.
Slithery toenail.
Yeah, the moon's shit when it's just half.
Yeah.
Boo.
Or just shy of full.
Yes. You're like, is that a full moon? And then you squint and you're like, no. Oblong. Yeah. Boo. Or just shy of full. Yes.
You're like, is that a full moon?
And then you squint and you're like, no.
Oblong.
Yeah.
Chunk out the side.
Only call me when it's a slither or a full.
Now, they often say you can't put a price on love.
Do they?
Do they?
Well, to say it's priceless or God knows how much this is costing me.
Ew.
You can't put a price on love, but you can.
People have worked out actually how much it costs to be on a quest for love.
Now, we've talked a bit about, you know, how people are like doing daytime dates,
like not going for a fancy dinner and drinks because drinks and restaurants are expensive.
Because it's so expensive, yeah. And you have to date a few people. It adds up. daytime dates, like not going for a fancy dinner and drinks because drinks and restaurants are expensive.
Yeah, and you have to date
a few people. It adds up. You have to kiss a few
frogs, don't you? Yeah, you do.
But now like
a coffee and a walk is kind of
the vibe, right? Cost of living.
It's getting high.
Research has kind of added
up what people do spend on going
on dates. Very draining.
I'm so glad I'm out of that.
And they've worked out it's just over $3,000 New Zealand dollars.
What?
Yeah, a year.
Trying to find love.
That's so much money.
So they say people go on an average of 15 dates before finding someone
that they'll actually hop into a relationship with.
So if you think 15, what is that?
A couple of hundred?
A date?
You're not going to spend that much on a date.
Not me, I'm the woman.
The man pays.
I'm a feminist unless the man's paying for dinner.
Yeah.
Then I'm like, help.
Help me.
I'm not allowed in the workforce.
So they say when it comes to an individual date,
most men and women spend around $120.
But men tend to spend ever so slightly more than that.
Yeah, so that's still around.
But it's also things like grooming and travel,
like Ubers and stuff.
Yeah.
Because, yeah, if you think like going on a date, $120,
then you chuck $50 worth of Ubers in there.
You get it, yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
And I live far away.
So a lot of people, 13% of people admitted to spending more than $200 on a first date.
It's not hard.
That's so much money, though.
It's not hard these days, though. Oh, it'd add up. It's not hard. That's so much money though. It's not hard these days though.
Oh, it'd add up.
Yeah.
Pud.
A revert.
Always run for pud.
There's always room for pud.
Yeah, a couple of cocktails is $40.
That's 80 bucks if you each have two.
That's why you've got to do these free dates first
and then if they're worth it,
then you go out for a dinner.
37% of men
spend money on a haircut before a date.
41%
of women buy either new
clothes or accessories before
going on a date. So yeah, it adds up, doesn't it?
Not me.
I've given up.
Well, you've settled. I'll just put on.
You don't need to.
Curry-stained slacks. Yeah.
We somehow still managed to spend a lot of money. If you're going out for curry, you might settled. I'll just put on. You don't need to. But you've got, yeah, you've got a lot done. Curry-stained slacks. Yeah. We somehow still managed to spend a lot of money.
If you're going out for curry,
you might as well wear your curry-stained slacks.
You've got to wear your curry slacks.
I'm not going to get curry on uncurried slacks.
Yes.
Clay.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Me, I hate, I hate pests.
I hate rats.
I hate possums.
Oh, you rats.
Yeah. I hate, someone gave me a good possum tip from a trap. I hate rats. I hate possums. Oh, you rats. Yeah.
I hate...
Someone gave me a good possum tip from a trap.
Oh, yeah.
I was listening the other day when I said I just put some feijoas in the possum trap.
Did that work?
Did that work?
I haven't caught anything yet.
Right.
But I also don't have signs of possums, so maybe they're just not visiting our house.
Right.
But someone said...
What's a sign of a possum?
Poos.
Poos or like fruit eaten.
Right.
But like the skin left, but the inside of it all left out.
Empty box of favourites under a tree.
Yeah, they love a tinder to write.
Huge fans.
They love a boost as well.
They'll eat a boost before anything.
Oh, yeah.
The tip was you get an apple.
Yeah.
And you roll it round in cinnamon.
But in the cinnamon, you put a few drops of eucalyptus oil.
Oh, do they love that?
Well, that's their Australian favourite.
Right.
Eucalyptus trees.
They share them with koalas.
Yeah.
And so they'll come in for the smell and then boom.
Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom, ba-da-bang.
Wow.
Okay.
Rats, always on the hunt for rats.
My macadamia nut trees are full of rats
Oh really?
Dude, you should see like
They take the husk off a macadamia nut
Put a hole in the shell
And then just eat the nut through the hole
And then they just drop them out the tree
And there's hundreds all over the ground
Need a good way of getting rid of them
A lot of pests
A North Canterbury school, Rothenham school
Have had to cancel One of their categories of their upcoming fundraiser
where they eliminate pests.
How do they do that?
Rural schools do this as fundraisers.
So you pay to enter your team.
And then over the course of a weekend,
you generally start on like a Friday night and final counts
on Sunday afternoon.
Is this like the rabbit shoots
they do in central Otago?
In central Otago,
you kill as many pests
as you can.
And then you bring them
and dump them on the ground
and they count them.
Yep,
you line them up.
So,
possums,
rats,
rabbits.
Yep.
And this year,
a new category was
for the under 14s,
the junior division, feral cat.
No, no, no.
If you could shoot feral cats.
If you heard our lovely newsreader Sam say at 7 o'clock
that this has now been cancelled after the outcry.
The SPCA was not happy yesterday.
Only the junior feral cat part.
What, so the adults can shoot?
Adult feral cats are still on the menu.
No.
Rescue them.
No, no, no.
Feral cats are the worst.
No, they're so sweet.
No, they're not.
No, they just haven't been loved right.
No, feral cats are a problem.
Feral cats are insane.
They're worse than possums.
Where are these feral cats?
Everywhere.
I'll home them.
Like in the bush.
I saw one up Mount Taranaki once at a hut.
How do you know it's feral?
Because they'll get rid of them.
They've just released the kokako back in.
Yeah, no, they're trying to get our native bird populations back up.
It's feral because it's halfway up the mountain, Hayley.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Got to get rid of them.
And, you know, there are a lot of kiwi in the national park as well.
And they'll eat them.
They'll eat them.
They'll eat them more than a possum.
A possum will eat an egg and, you know, destroy the trees and stuff that are the habitats, the homes and they eat them. And they'll eat them. They'll eat them. They'll eat them more than a possum. A possum will eat an egg
and destroy the trees and stuff
that are the habitats,
the homes and the food
of these birds.
But a feral cat
will literally take the bird.
You know I love cats.
Like I rescued my cat.
From a breeder.
From a breeder.
And paid a lot of money.
An evil, evil breeder
who was holding a cactus.
Yeah, and so I paid
to have it released.
You paid the hostage fee.
Yeah, no one loves purebred cats as much as I do. Yeah, and so I paid to have it released. You paid the hostage fee. Yeah, no one loves purebred cats as much as I do.
Yeah, right.
Because I did rescue my cat from a plastic bag.
And he would have been a feral stray.
He would have been a stray.
And now look how much he enriches my life.
And he managed to undo the knot on the plastic bag.
He would have been a feral stray.
But so why was it the outrage because they were cats?
Well, there was a...
Because of the adult one...
That was less of the outrage.
It was more that in that kind of area,
the SPCA had recently had a cat taken into a vet
that had been shot with an air rifle.
And they're like, oh, okay, that's not good.
If you're out and you're an adult and you're an experienced hunter,
you might be able to identify a feral cat. But if you're younger, then you're probably just going to be like, that's not good. If you're out and you're an adult and you're an experienced hunter, you might be able to identify a feral cat,
but if you're younger, then you're probably just going to be like,
that's five points.
Lazy me would have just stayed around the neighbourhood
and collected some easy pickings.
Yeah, yeah.
Boos, boos, boos, boos, boos.
Shake.
Yeah, no, don't do that.
That's terrible.
So that's obviously what the concern was, the identification issue.
This is all to raise money for a school.
It's a weird fundraiser.
Like we sold chocolates.
But it's great.
It's great because it's getting rid of pests.
It's getting rid of pests.
Pests that we should never have introduced
to this delicate ecosystem.
How many of those chocolates did you just eat and buy?
You know, that was such an awesome sized chocolate bar
that kept the fundraisers.
The fundraiser chocolate bar.
Your mum wouldn't let us sell those
because she couldn't have the temptation in the house.
Oh, really?
So everything else you went around, you had like a sample.
And you'd be like, this is what we're selling.
You order it and then there'll be a day where I'll come and drop it off.
But the chocolates, you just got sent home in the box of them.
Yeah, yeah, with a handle.
Yeah.
And it was in there.
It was in your house.
That was a no-no.
We see so many of them.
You could have caramel or just plain.
But yeah, we used to sell plastics.
Plastics?
Plastics. What do you mean? In the 90s. We, we used to sell plastics. Plastics? Plastics.
What do you mean?
In the 90s.
We used to funders of plastics.
Plates, like picnic cutlery.
Just junk.
Cups.
Just junk.
Stuff that you would definitely be like, oh, no, no.
Not now.
I don't want that.
Stuff that was very cheap.
Not in 2023.
And marked up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
So we want to know this morning, you can call us, oh, $800,
and text9696.
What was your school's fundraiser?
Mate, the more unusual, the better.
Yeah, because I guess the rural schools do this kind of more unusual stuff, don't they?
Animal murder.
Animal murder, yes.
Funny rabbits.
Coyote.
No.
That's a bit problematic.
But they're so boingy and cute. They are boingy.'re so boingy and cute
They are boingy
They are boingy
and cute
but they're a big pest
I know but their
little soft ears
You wouldn't say
that if you lived
in rural art
Mean Uncle Fitch
and you're gonna
shoot me
They don't look
like that cute one
That's like a
magician's rabbit
That's what they look like
That's a manky rabbit
Little Peter Rabbit
of the mother.
They're cute.
So 0800-DARLS-IT-M 9696 to text.
What was your school's unusual fundraiser?
How did you make money for the school?
Oh, look, there's a rabbit and a cat.
What, you're going to murder these beautiful creatures?
Well, you see how that cat's in a pounce position?
It's getting ready to pounce on a kiwi.
Kiwis are ugly. I'm going a kiwi. Kiwis are ugly.
Kiwis are ugly.
Kiwis are ugly.
Wow.
That's our national bird.
Put that on a T-shirt.
Quote me.
I'm just asking someone where they got the turtles from.
Are you buying a turtle?
What?
No, no, no.
Is this a school fundraiser?
This is a school fundraiser.
Oh, my God.
Turtles. No, no, no. Is this a school fundraiser? This is a school fundraiser. Oh, my God. So the North Canterbury feral cat under 14 division has been cancelled.
If you're listening for your sports cancellations this morning,
the under 14 feral cat hunt is off.
Afternoon Touch has been cancelled.
The fields are a bit wet.
Yeah, the fields are a bit wet.
I tell you what, the feral pusses are going to be safe this weekend too
because they're not going to be hunted by the under 14s.
But this was a school fundraiser,
and we want to know how wild or outrageous
or weird your school fundraiser's got.
Yep.
And the reason I ask about turtle racing is,
where they got the turtles from,
they said they had a turtle race night.
Were they in, maybe they went to school in Fiji?
Because they always do turtle, those are crabs.
Crab races.
Permit crabs.
That's right.
And they paint little numbers on them and such.
Tom, what was your school fundraiser?
Morning, guys.
How are you?
Good.
Really hungover.
Well, this will be the story for you then.
No, when I was in high school, we were fundraising for an overseas history trip.
So we went to a few different countries, Turkey and actually in places like that.
Oh, that's nice.
It was nice.
But our fundraiser was selling wine,
which was quite unusual
because obviously most of the people
who were going on the trip
were well under the age of drinking.
Now, Tom, this sounds like a private school,
overseas trips to Europe and wine.
No.
No?
High-performing state school, but not private.
High-performing state school.
They love high-performing state schools.
They love, they love.
Like a grammar.
Put those on a pedestal.
Something, something grammar.
Oh, yeah, you're going to zone.
It's a something, yeah.
Is it a something, something grammar?
No.
Hayley will know.
It's Wellington College down in Wellington,
just near the Mount Bixby.
Oh, that's straight trash.
I thought it's a high-performing. No thought it's a high-performing...
Are you straight up trash?
No, it is a high-performing public school.
Right.
But is it a bit like public?
It's, yeah, it's got big private energy.
It boosts the property prices of the villas around it.
Good lord.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
One of those.
One of your Epsom girls sort of switches.
How much wine did you have to sell as miners?
Well, we got about $4.50 a bottle from the vineyard
sold us the wine at a cheaper rate.
And we got about $4.50 a bottle.
And I think I ended up raising about $3,500.
Whoa!
Was mum and dad bloody hooning the...
No, to be fair, they only bought a couple of cases.
But no, I was just, I was just walking around the neighbourhood
and knocking on doors.
That is wildly illegal.
What year was this?
This seems wildly illegal.
It's got to be 90s.
No, it was when I was like 17,
so it would have been 2006, 2007.
What?
Loose times.
Oh, Tom.
Although, wasn't there,
you know when online ordering and delivery started happening,
it took a while for even alcohol companies to check ID?
Oh, my God.
In COVID times when you're ordering booze online,
it was like, are you 18?
You're like, yep.
They're like, okay.
What do you want?
Here's some alcohol.
We'll bring it to your door.
Tom, thank you for your calls.
Let's go to Sam.
Sam, what was the school fundraiser?
So we had a fundraiser where it was basically like a boozy night out for the mum.
And the dad dressed up in lingerie that was then auctioned off.
Like you bought the lingerie off the dad.
Wait, you bought dad dirty knickers.
So dad would get up there in lingerie and someone would buy it,
but they'd get the knickers once dad had taken them off.
Yeah.
How long ago was this?
20...
Okay, that makes sense.
20...
We're in the 90s?
2006, maybe?
Was this a high-performing
state school or a private?
It was a state school.
I can give you that.
It doesn't sound that high performing, to be honest.
It sounds problematic.
So they had their junk in the Sundays.
This is definitely a college.
Something, something college.
Cambridge High.
Cambridge High!
Those horse dads.
Horse dad's a kinky. You can see right through Yeah, the horse dads. Bloody horse dad, all right.
Kinky.
You can see right through his knickers.
He's a horse dad, all right.
Back in there, and about the same time,
I feel like just a little bit before this,
a principal got...
Okay, yeah, that's lovely.
Yeah, we'll just stop that story.
Cambridge led the charge in NCEA credits
for picking up rubbish at lunchtime.
That's right, they did too.
As well as a late 90s huge marijuana scandal.
Thank you, Sam.
Calibre School.
A couple of messages to finish up your high school fundraisers.
Calibre School.
We all know someone from Cambridge.
Our fundraising was a casino night.
Ooh.
And it's what we found out later, illegal gambling.
At primary school, we'd tip a whole lot of rubber ducks off a bridge in Tikawiti and race them down the river.
We'd sell tickets for the duck.
Remember rubber ducks?
Yeah.
But back in the 90s, you didn't pick them up.
You're like, I'll let them.
No, they just float.
No, I'll let them wash up and see.
End up floating out to China.
Better fun.
It's China's problem.
Now, we've had a few text messages about slave auctions.
Oh, yes.
Now, I remember in the 90s, these were the big things.
The separate formers would get up, dress up, do a little song and dance,
and then at the end of it, you'd auction them off,
and then they would be your slayers.
This happened at New Plymouth Boys High, and because I was so hot,
I went for quite a lot of money.
Did you?
Because the hot seven-form girls always went for quite a bit of cash.
We didn't have six or seven-form girls, so it was just six or seven-form boys.
Just the lads, eh?
You did quite a bit, did you?
Quite a bit, yeah.
What did you have to do?
Well, in like late 90s currency, it was a lot.
Oh, a lot.
A lot.
Adjusted for inflation.
Yeah.
And that's why if you go to New Plymouth...
You're still New Plymouth Boys High top earner.
And that's why if you go to New Plymouth Boys High,
I bought pretty much a whole bench.
What?
Well done.
An outside bench.
Like what on the park bench?
An outside bench.
An outside bench.
Dedicated to dad ass
Dad
Sit your ass
On the bench
That dad ass
Of Carl Fletcher
Something like that
Sure
Morgan Pairton
Oh I've got a better one
Okay
Once to fundraise
For a school trip
We went to this
Giant warehouse
Not the warehouse
Art warehouse
With thousands
Of magazines Adult magazines We were all given A sharpie pen We had to find Not the warehouse, our warehouse. We have thousands of magazines, adult magazines.
We were all given a Sharpie pen.
We had to find an advertiser in the magazine and cross out their phone number
because apparently they hadn't paid their bill.
Oh, right.
And so the school earned money and then they'd send out the magazine.
Talking about admin.
Yeah, crossing out the phone number because the person hadn't paid the bill.
And so they didn't want them to get free advertising,
but the magazine obviously needed to go out.
But they said they were adult magazines.
Some free boobies on the way.
Why not?
Now we have been teasing a soft launch,
a semi-launch of a new podcast, Sex.Life,
with me and our friend and sexologist
Morgan Penn. And today, it's the hard launch! We are hard launching and she's in studio
with us, Morena Morgan.
A te marie.
Oh my God, today's the day. We have been so excited for this.
I know. We're vulnerable. We're out there. We're exposed. Our bits are in the world.
Literally everything is out there today.
So Sex or Life, I've been teasing it as a podcast that follows your journey to an underground sex school in rural New Zealand.
Because of, you know, it's about 8 o'clock at the moment,
we don't have, we can't say too much.
We'll go into too much detail.
But what else would you say about this podcast i would say that i'm a little bit scared of this uh rural sex school coming for me today now it's
out in the world yeah she's lawyering up uh because i have divulged a lot about what happened
at this place and i went to this sex school to uh develop my sexual repertoire personally
and to help my clients, you know.
I can only take my clients as deep as I go.
And I'd heard a few red flags about what was going on
down at the sex school.
And I thought, you know what, I'm just going to go down there.
I'm going to check it out for myself
and find out what was going on.
But you didn't do that as like an investigative journalist. You
went there as a
subject, as a client
I guess of the school, as a participant.
Yeah. You put your own body
on the line. That's right. I mean when I went there I didn't
plan to make a podcast about it and
talk about all the things that I wasn't meant to talk
about. I don't think you planned on doing half of
the stuff you've told me you've done.
Now Fletch, you've known Morgan since you guys were, like,
teenagers, right?
I've heard some stories about what is happening in the podcast
and it's...
You, I would argue, Fletch, probably know more than I do.
Do you know what I mean?
Because, like, Morgan didn't tell me anything about this whole thing
and I find out each episode with fresh ears,
knowing nothing.
And I apologise in advance for people listening to the podcast.
I scream a lot.
Right.
Out of pure shock and elation and just like,
it is so tantalising and just outrageous.
Was there any sort of like NDAs or anything signed to go to this
or did they just...
I didn't sign anything.
Excuse the pun.
I didn't.
Because you don't say the name of the school or even where it is.
No, no, I don't.
The location shocked me.
Yeah, me too.
It's not the kind of place that you're like, that's there?
Yeah.
It's got the biggest underground Tantra community
in New Zealand. In Australasia
actually. Far out.
So each episode of the
podcast, one is out today,
each episode of the podcast follows
a day in your life
at the sex school.
How do we tease
what happens without being able to say it?
One, we will say it's not for children's ears, this podcast,
so it's probably not one that you would listen to in the car with the kids.
At school pick-up, no.
I feel like it's headphones in, enjoy it yourself.
When I told my mum about one particular exercise
that I did there in front of 50 people,
she went bright red, started swallowing very quickly,
and then said, I'm so happy that you felt so comfortable
to share your body like that.
Kez, poor Kez.
Yeah, yeah.
Fletch, you know that story.
Kez is not easily shocked.
No, that's right.
Kez is as, you know.
As open as they come.
She's as open as they come, yeah.
Well, I've already said that perhaps my father doesn't want to listen to this one,
but my mum is allowed.
It is truly, and it's not just smut for the sake of smut.
So we do lots of learning in this.
You set home play exercises, little things for the listener and myself to try each week
based on your learnings from that day at sex school.
And it's really fun.
And also a whole thing that we really stand for as a pair is body positivity or body neutrality
and just celebrating all bodies.
And so it's definitely, it's not just a podcast for women.
It is just, it's a fun, fun ride.
But I think you're also going to learn a lot as well. Yeah, it's like
we're educating you by
osmosis. We're trying to spread
the sex positivity word
and what I love is watching Hayley
on her journey because I am giving
her home play to expand her
pleasure potential and her sexual self.
Get your mirrors ready, ladies.
Look at Vaughn's face.
What is he looking at?
He's gone all quiet, hasn't he?
He's listening.
When we did our softest launch, Zeddy posted about it,
I posted about it personally, Morgan posted about it,
and Sade commented on all three of them being like,
can't wait.
She is looking forward to it.
Well, it's out now.
You can download it right now wherever you podcast.
iHeartRadio, Spotify.
Apple Podcasts, anywhere.
Yeah, new episodes out every Wednesday.
Every hump day.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Morgan Penn, Sexologist, thank you so much for joining us.

Our future callers, if you're a first-time caller, long-time listener,

We love ringing that bell. What about a first-time caller, long-time listener, please let us know. We love ringing that bell.
What about a first-time caller, short-time listener?
That will ring the bell.
Yeah.
I know we've never had one of those.
We've never had one of those.
I just worked out how a radio works.
Yes.
Or maybe they've had enough of the other show.
Maybe.
You know, I'm done with this.
Tune out.
Tony Street's not for everybody.
She's very mean.
Very mean. You've got beef with Tony Street. She's very mean. Very mean.
You've got beef with Tony Street.
She's in Hawaii at the moment.
And I said,
this looks like a fun trip.
And she sent me back a spit emoji,
which I didn't even know existed.
Yeah.
And said,
you couldn't afford it.
Wow.
I know.
She's not wrong.
She's not wrong.
I'm not being wise with my finances.
A series of poor Investment decisions
Yes
Hanover
Now
I've got five questions
About your mum
Christina
Okay
Okay
Question
One
Is mum
A cat lady
Or a dog lady
Definitely a dog lady
She's obsessed
With her dog
Is she
What kind of
What kind of dog does she have?
Bonus question.
Little white dog.
Oh, a little white dog.
A little white.
Like a Bichon Frise.
Which was my nickname in high school, by the way.
What?
But I was six foot and a half at the time.
Right.
I was flat white for all the wrong reasons.
I think you're flat white and my little white
are probably the same reason.
In the same ballpark. This is why you didn't get much at the slave reasons. I think your flat white and my little white are probably the same reason. In the same ballpark.
This is why you didn't get much
at the slave auction.
No.
We're not laughing about slaves.
No.
This is a callback
to earlier in the show
where we talked about
how wild it was in the 90s.
You auctioned children off
to other children
for a fundraiser at school.
If you're just joining the show now,
I really recommend listening from six straight through the night.
Yeah, catch up on the podcast.
Yeah, get up, get out of bed, get out of your lazy bed.
Okay, so this is sparking a few names for you.
Yeah, it is.
Kind of mums with little dogs.
Sarah, Leanne.
Oh, Leanne.
What was that?
Leanne would definitely have a little white dog.
What side of the bed does your mum sleep on?
Like if I was standing at the foot of your mum's bed,
she's asleep, it's dark, so she can't see me,
and I'm very quiet, whisper quiet.
Yeah, a little white.
Yeah.
What side?
At the foot of the bed I'm looking at it,
is she on my left or my right?
You're right. Okay. That On the foot of the bed I'm looking at it, is she on my left or my right? Your right.
Okay.
That's the woman's side.
That's the woman's side.
The dog's on the left.
The dog's on the left.
She really loves this dog.
She does love the dog.
So mum's...
Oh, yeah.
Okay, I guess that...
Well, I don't want to use one of my questions
asking if mum's single.
Well, this would work for me
because I'm a left-side sleeper.
You could hook up with her mum.
I could be on the left side. Would you like
Fletch to be your new daddy?
Don't answer
that. Next question.
You're under no obligation to answer it.
It's simply an idea I'd like to put forward.
Would you like Fletch to be your father?
I don't
think anyone can compete with the dog, to be honest.
What about in your eyes?
What's that?
What do you mean?
In your eyes.
Do you look at the dog as a father figure?
I've accepted that he has replaced me.
She got him when I moved out of home.
The dog's probably ahead of you on the will at this rate, it sounds like.
I honestly would not be surprised.
You get in there and be executor of that will so when she dies
you can change things. That's what I'm going to do.
It's going to be awful when the dog dies.
Philip Pooh.
Nope, never heard of him.
I'll scrub
his existence.
Yep.
Okay, next question.
What are mum's siblings' names?
She's got half siblings.
They're called Jan and Brett.
Jan and Brett.
Jan and Brett.
I didn't know that.
Brett.
Could Jan be the same name, his half sibling?
Could be.
They could have come along after.
Jan, Jan and Brett.
Literally the last name I put down before this question was Jane.
It's not going to be Jane and Jan.
Jane and Jan would be pretty funny.
They came along later.
Yeah, but it's still the same mum or dad.
One of the same ones wouldn't have named.
Just put Jan down just in case.
I don't want to put Jan down.
Okay.
Hayley's right.
Hayley's right.
You're wrong.
That's silly.
I don't know if it's Jan.
Yeah.
I'm going to put Heather down though.
Heather?
Yeah, definitely. I've got know if it's Jan. Yeah. I'm going to put a Heather down, though. A Heather? Yeah, definitely.
I've got a good feeling about a Mary.
I was about to say Maria.
Well, I'll put a Maria down, too, because it would be a shame to go so close, but be so far away.
What about Vicky?
Vicky Casino.
Vicky's already on the list.
Yeah.
Vicky Casino Barcelona.
The fourth name on my list.
Vicky's a small white dog lady.
Vicky loves it. Vicky loves it. God, I wish Vicky's dog fourth name on my list. Vicky's a small white dog lady.
Vicky loves her. Vicky loves her.
God, I wish Vicky's dog had shut up.
Why does that play Vicky's mutt?
What is mum's favourite TV show?
That one with the cowboys.
What's it called?
Yellowstone.
Oh, great taste.
I just love Yellowstone.
Great taste. Which one's her favourite? Yellowstone. Oh, great taste. I just love Yellowstone. Great taste.
Which one's her favourite?
Is it Kevin Costner?
To be honest, I've never been able to get into it,
but she goes on about how sexy one of the guys is.
How sexy one of the guys is.
I wonder if she's a rip.
She might be a rip guy.
She might be a rip girl.
Yeah, that sounds right.
Rip, rip.
She likes him rugged.
She likes him rough and rugged.
He's the bad boy.
Okay.
He's the bad boy with a heart of gold.
She likes a bad boy.
That's got Helen energy. Helen He's the bad boy. Okay. He's the bad boy with a heart of gold. She likes a bad boy. That's got Helen energy.
Helen's love a bad boy.
Right.
With a heart of gold.
And Carol, of course.
Carol can't keep her hands.
Was that a cat or a child?
That's my daughter.
Why is she meowing?
Is your daughter a cat and your father a dog?
We're not here to judge.
And what is mum's... If you were to buy mum a bouquet of flowers,
what flower would you put in it?
What's mum's go-to flower?
Oh, gosh.
Colourful ones?
Roses.
We'll go with roses.
Yeah.
Roses.
She's a classy lady.
Okay.
She's a...
Classy.
All right.
All right.
Yep.
Have you got enough names?
It doesn't seem like enough names.
It's not a lot of names, but if I get to the end, I might just freestyle.
Yeah, freestyle.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, right.
All right.
Well, Christina, Vaughn now has 15 seconds to try and guess your mum's name.
If you hear your mum's name, yell out, stop, that's my mum's name.
Vaughn, your time starts now.
Pam, Debbie, Karen, Vicky, Sarah, Leanne, Jenny, Donna, Fiona,
Kim, Jane, Heather, Mary.
Which one?
Kim.
Kim just before Jane.
Yes.
I thought you said you can't have Jane and Jan.
Can't have Jane and Jan.
How did you get to Kim?
Kim, my friend Kim loves her dog a lot, and he's a little white one,
but he's got freckles.
That's why he's called Freckles.
Kim.
What if the dog has freckles? Well, Kim has
freckles. Kim doesn't have freckles. The dog is
called Freckles as it has spots
amongst its white fur that look like freckles.
Dogs can't have freckles. You've never seen them.
With fur, they have to be a
bald dog. They would be a bald dog.
A Chinese Christian.
Bonus round!
While you're on the phone, I'll have a go
at guessing your dad's name.
Now, am I guessing the dad's name or the dog's name?
The dad's name.
Well, the dad is the dog.
Are you guessing the dad's name?
Not the dog's name.
No, it'll be like sugar puff or some shit.
There's a white floofy like candy.
Come here, candy.
What's the dog's name?
Toby.
Okay. Toby. Toby. Toby. My mum's a big basketball fan. Come here, candy. What's the dog's name? Toby. Okay.

No, me and Age like a fine line.
They just get better and better.

It would be weird if you'd come in really hot
being like, your dad's sexy.
But you've said people like,
you've given us all the clues that indicate
he's a sexy Brazilian.
Well, you never would have guessed Claudio, would you?
God, no.

Well done.
It's always worth calling us, isn't it?
Play.
ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Now, a few weeks ago, my wife purchased online,
apparently after a couple of what she calls her wardrobe wines.
This is where our house gets a bit much for her
and she takes a glass of wine and sits in the wardrobe.
Oh, I love that.
It's the quietest part of the house.
And to be honest, our house can get a bit much.
If I'm in one of my moods and the children are in their moods
and we all get a little bit crazy. It's effectively in one of my moods and the children are in their moods and we all get
a little bit crazy.
It's effectively
a panic room, isn't it?
Yeah, it's a panic room.
She just slides the door shut
and that's her safe space.
Shuts the door,
sits behind clothes
which muffle the sound
that do get in there.
Muffle the sound
of her crying.
Well, she might be crying.
We're all being so loud
we can't hear.
She's got a mini bar fridge
in there.
She does.
It's perfect.
It's quite a lovely spot. She's unwell. We're all being so loud we can't hear. She's got a mini bar fridge in there. She does. It's perfect. It's quite a lovely spot.
She's done well.
And she said after a couple of those,
she was influenced by some targeted advertising on Facebook
for this miniature vacuum.
Yeah, I saw this on her social media and I thought,
that looks cute.
I'd love that for my car.
Car-based.
I think it's supposed to be a car-based vacuum.
It's to get in between those little ham folds that are around the gear stick.
Yes.
You know those are really hard to get.
It's like ham folds.
You know when you've got a gear stick, it's like moved with like a little bag around it.
Yeah, it's got a loose.
Yeah, and you can never vacuum.
It's all just a weird material.
Yeah, get a few chips in there.
Yeah.
Yep, yep, yep.
It'll catch all the...
So this must have been cheap.
It looked like AliExpress level,
kind of 10 bucks.
Yeah, I don't know how much she paid for it,
but she said it was cheap.
And was it the lighter?
It charges off the lighter,
but also comes with a...
It actually just has a USB.
Oh, okay.
So you can charge it using like an iPhone
connected to the wall
or just plug it into your USB in the car and it's charged.
That's handy.
And it was handy.
Do you know what else it was handy for?
And before people ask, I don't know where to get it from.
Okay, just talk about vacuums in front of your phone.
Talk about vacuums in front of your phone and your computer for a while
and you'll start getting the targeted advertising.
Google on a – just search on AliExpress mini USB vacuum cleaner.
Yeah, yeah.
Done.
So it's tiny and and I cleaned out.
You know when you've got a dryer and the lint that gets through the lint trap
and gets onto that next bit?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It fit in there, and it just sucked all the lint off the front.
So I was kind of after that, I was in favour of it.
I was like, this is neat.
And then when I was playing with it, when I was doing that.
Number one cause of house fires, Vaughan.
The lint in the dryer.
Dryer fire.
Yes.
Oh, you've got to change it every cycle.
You've got to clean out every cycle and every now and then find that next thing,
the condenser part, and give that a vacuum too because that gets clogged up.
I don't trust the dryer.
I stand in front of mine all while it's on.
You do.
You sit there the whole time.
We don't use one.
It's why your dryer's in the middle of your lounge.
Aesthetically, it's a weird look, but I'm here for you.
You do what you've got to do.
Just next to the TV.
It goes TV, dryer.
Yeah. And the record
player's on top of the dryer so you can't use the record player
for the dryer otherwise the needle won't stay on.
Definitely not. So
I worked out when I was cleaning the dryer
condenser part that quite the
force of air came out the back.
Then when I was putting it back I found this thing that
looked like, you know what the doctors put on the end of the
air thing before they look in your ear hole?
Oh, yeah.
What is that?
Well, it's just a coating, really,
so they can look in your ear and take your temperature.
But it's a coating so they can take it off
and chuck it away between patients.
So wasteful.
This little plastic cone thing.
And I was like, where does this doesn't fit?
And then I worked out it fits on the back.
So now there's a little minutes here blower.
Oh, because the ear.
It sucks.
It's got to come out the back.
Powerful enough to do an airbed?
I think the bulk of...
You'd be there for hours.
No, I think for the bulk of the air,
to do the bulk of the airbed,
you could plug it in and just walk away for a bit.
Right.
Seriously, it's that powerful?
It had a real huff to it.
My friends have got an airbed
that automatically ups and deflates itself.
I slept on it.
It's a goodie.
Those are a goodie.
But so last night I was lighting the barbecue, charcoal
barbecue, and I was like, it's taking
a while. I need this to hurry up. And of course the way you
do it is you get a bit of airflow. And I've used the
hairdryer for it before. You run the
extension cord out and I was like, that feels safe.
That feels really safe.
And Sade's like, what are you
doing? I'm just getting the charcoals going. This guy in his linty dryer and is running an extension cord with a hairdryer.
There is a fire waiting to happen.
I'm a fire guy.
I'm waiting.
I'm ready.
And so I was like, I know what would be perfect for this.
Little vacuum.
Oh, yeah.
I had affectionately named it.
And I said, little vacuum blows out the back.
I knew little vacuum blew out the back.
But this was my way of also seeking permission. Little vacuum blows out the back, doesn't it? And Sade said, little vacuum blows out the back. I knew little vacuum blew out the back. But this was my way of also seeking permission.
Little vacuum blows out the back, doesn't it?
Shardie said, yes it does.
I said, do you think I could use it to light the charcoals?
Get the charcoals going?
She's like, probably, yeah.
So I was like, done.
I'm out.
So I went in and I used that.
And I was standing there.
And it was.
I was getting it going.
And then little vacuum, maybe five minutes into the blowing,
little vacuum went.
Oh. maybe five minutes into the blowing Little Vacuum went Yeah, I don't think Little Vacuum's meant to last any more than a couple of minutes at a time
I touched Little Vacuum hot to the touch
and it wasn't the charcoals that had made him hot
and he died last night in my hands
Little Vacuum, RIP LV
Little Vac
He had a hell of a rap career ahead of him
Any last words?
Did you say, that'll do, pig?
That'll do?
I was like, and I went and I said, I've killed Little Vak.
You should have just put it back.
The smell of Little Vak's plastic made me not want to bring him back inside for a bit.
So he sat outside.
Right.
He hasn't caught fire, but yeah, I killed your little vac.
Did you get in trouble?
One of the main reasons I'm talking about this now
is because Facebook's listening and it will show me your little vac
and then I'll be able to buy a little vac.
Yeah, because I can't find the one she's bought
when I look on the interwebs.
Right.
Well, if I get targeted advertising,
I'll be happy to share with anybody who's after their own little vac.
But I mean, I've just told you how shit it was.
It literally imploded after being on for maybe five minutes straight.
So maybe it wouldn't blow up an air bed.
Yeah.
No, I don't think so.
Because it would have had the resistance of the air trying to get back out of the bed.
Yeah.
Being on for that long.
You know what?
Don't buy cheap crap.
Invest in something that's going to last a little longer.
I love cheap crap, though.
I love it.
I know, but we're filling our landfills with cheap crap.
Yeah, that's what they're there for, dude.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day.
This guy, man, the more I read about this guy,
I'm fascinated by a man called Alan Abel.
Yeah.
Alan Abel. In 1959, founded the organization,
the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals.
Where is this fact going?
So this guy, Alan Abel, was like the original prankster.
Okay.
He tried to write a satirical story about an imaginary organisation
called the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals
for the Saturday Evening Post, but the editors were like,
don't be stupid, Alan.
Right.
You're taking it too far.
People won't get that this is satire.
Yeah, right.
And he was like, do you not think so?
And they're like, it's so well written, we can't print this.
Right.
So he was like, well, I'll do it then.
And distributed a series of press releases.
Now, the idea for the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals was that any animal larger He said it was a sign of society's moral decay
that we were letting animals walk around naked.
Naked.
How would you dress a giraffe?
Well, that was what the zoo,
if the zoo wanted to have these animals,
it was up to them to clothe them.
Yeah.
Wait, could you stop the collar at the bottom of a giraffe's neck?
No, it'd have to be a turtleneck.
You'd have to go right to the top.
You'd have to go right to the chin.
Okay.
You've got some great questions here
about what constitutes clothing on an animal.
Yeah.
Could it be?
Four inches.
Like a mouse.
A mouse.
Yeah.
Oh, four inches is all six inches long.
So a mouse might get away with it, but a rat wouldn't if you're including tail.
Yeah.
So he distributed these press releases and started getting contact from like media organizations
being like, we'd love to hear more.
Obviously they saw an easy gap to fill in their papers
or their news programmes or whatever.
And he's like, well, I'm going to have to get an actor.
So he talked to this friend of his called Buck Henry who said,
would you be able to play G. Griffith Prout Jr.,
the son of the founder of the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals?
So this guy was like, this sounds like fun.
No money in it for either of these guys.
And what year was this?
1959.
And this guy, Alan Abel, is still alive.
He's 98 years old.
Oh, wow.
And apparently still loves pranks.
So this went for years.
And they got on news outlets.
They got on the Today Show.
They got printed in magazines.
They had songs written about them because, like,
super conservative people got on board.
They were like, society is in moral decay.
And if I agree with the fact that, you know,
all of these things about animals.
Cows should be dressed.
Maybe animals should be on board as well and be getting dressed as well.
So there were songs written, chants and anthems.
It got to Walter Cronkite, who was the name
in news on CBS, the biggest figurehead of news.
Sort of like our John Campbell or Jack Tame sort.
You go to them for the very serious news. They're not to be left around. This guy covered the Vietnam War
better than anybody. He was interviewed by Walter Cronkite, this Buck
Henry, pretending to be this G. Clifford Prout.
It got done.
One of the editors that was editing the interview on film
said, I know that guy.
He's an actor.
And one of the editors was like, what?
And he's like, yeah, his name's not G. Clifford Prout.
That's Buck Henry.
And this editor's like, oh my God,
too close to the news time
had to be broadcast.
Oh my God,
we don't have anything else.
We don't have anything else.
Let's just broadcast
and hope no one notices.
It got exposed.
It got out.
Walter Cronkite
called Buck Henry
and said,
I have never seen him
that angry.
He was angry on TV
and when I talked to him,
he was furious.
He talked about Hitler,
Saddam Hussein,
Fidel Castro, was never as angry with them as he was. He's a on TV and when I talked to him, he was furious. He talked about Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, was
never as angry with them as he was.
He's a silly person.
When it was me and my silly little prank.
This guy's got heaps of other pranks. If you want to look him up,
his name's Alan Abel. He's still alive, 98 years old.
No, he died. What?
2018. Someone
update his goddamn Wikipedia page!
I'm so sorry. It says that he's alive!
Alan Irwin Abel.
Unless it's a prank.
Oh, could be his ultimate prank.
Could be his ultimate prank.
Yeah.
So today's fact of the day.
For a short time, in 1959 to 1963,
there was a society formed that believed any animal
longer than six inches or taller than four
should be clothed at all times.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
I'm a happy girl.
I've just had my way.
I've just had my way.
I suggested we go out for a break after the show and he was like, no, I'm being healthy. And then I had my way. I've just had my way. I suggested we go out for a break after the show. Anyone see me?
And then I had my way.
I caved.
I caved.
Yeah, I did my cute little puppy eyes.
Please, boys.
Now, another story from the AI department.
Another scary story.
But this one's a little close to home.
Yesterday, Chanelette Pajamas shared in the group chat
that shared, initiated a conversation with an AI bot.
Off you go, Shanalette.
Tell us how that went.
Yeah, so I saw on TikTok,
people were asking to meet up with the AI
and it was working.
And I was like, let me try this.
Maybe it doesn't work in New Zealand or I don't know.
She puts herself on the line for us, doesn't she?
Yeah, I know.
So I went on to Snapchat.
My little AI person is a pink bitmoji.
And I started off soft. I kind of said, hey, and they were like, how are you? I was like, good, how are you little AI person is a pink bitmoji. And I started off soft.
I kind of said, hey.
And they were like, how are you?
I was like, good.
How are you?
Yeah, just a little bit.
I said, do you want to meet up?
And they said, sure, I'd love to.
Where and when do you want to meet?
And I said, of course, what's the best place for a first date?
So I said McDonald's.
And I gave a location.
Because the show sponsor.
Yeah, that's beautiful.
Brilliant, yes. And I gave a location, the name of sponsor. Yeah, that's beautiful. Brilliant, yes.
And I gave a location,
the name of the store closest to my house.
Yeah.
And they replied, sounds good.
I checked in.
The McDonald's in that place is 1.5 miles away from you.
Ooh, ooh.
And they told me exactly where it is and gave the address
and then gave a hyperlinked map point.
Oh my God.
And I said, shall we meet tomorrow 10 a.m.?
And they said, sure.
I'm free tomorrow 10 a.m.
See you there.
I said, what do you look like so I can find you?
Oh, this is good.
This is good questioning for me.
And they said, I have brown hair.
I'll be wearing a green jacket.
I'm 5'7", and I'll be wearing a blue backpack.
We love a short king.
Ooh, 5'7".
What?
Sorry, Jared. Sorry, Jared. Joking, Jared. We stan a short cane. Ooh, 5'7". What? Sorry, Jared.
Sorry, Jared. Joking, Jared.
We stan a short cane. Yeah. I then
screenshot this, send this to you guys.
You guys immediately panic and say, don't do
that. So then I went back to my AI
and I said, kidding. And they said, you got
me there. You're such a joker. Wait, so this
AI was like, knowing it's
not real, is like, I will
meet you at McDonald's tomorrow.
Yeah.
So I have a date at 10 a.m.
Oh, see, we've got to stop this.
Every time we're talking about AI, it's not making me feel good.
Are you going to go to the non-olds at 10 and look for a green-jacketed brown-haired boy?
I'm kind of tempted.
Yeah.
Like, to give that many details?
Because who turns up?
Oh, my God.
Unless somebody else's AI is
sending you up.
This is the start of a horror movie, by the way.
I did see someone on TikTok.
They asked the AI to transfer their money
on like PayPal or Venmo,
I think, and the AI sent money.
But like, I don't know how legit that is.
Wow! No, no.
Hey Siri, can I have a million dollars?
But no, I definitely have a million dollars? But no,
I definitely have a date
at 10 at McDonald's.
Well,
some other guy
who's been talking to AI.
Yeah.
And AI's just like,
just out of interest,
what are you wearing tomorrow?
And he's like,
oh, green t-shirt.
How tall are you?
Oh, okay, cool.
You should go down to McDonald's.
This is how they,
this is,
yeah,
this is a very,
start of a very scary movie.
Yeah,
I don't think go there.
I don't know. But I am a bit hungry.. Yeah, I don't think go there. I don't know.
But I am a bit hungry.
Same.
Could be nice.
Absolutely go there.
Maybe I'll go because then they don't know.
But they will know that we work together.
They know everything.
Because it's AI.
And I'm incredibly famous.
And because you uploaded your photos before,
so AI now knows what you look like.
Oh, no.
Good luck with life going forward.
Thank you.
Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
Sure is, so I better be quick.
Now, this is a new fitness term.
It was coined by a couple of TikTokers, health TikTokers, fitness TikTokers.
Yeah.
It's called soft hiking.
Soft hiking.
Now, you like a bit of a hike.
Are these health TikTokers?
Are these ones sometimes
when I jump into bed at 9.30
and I'll just flick on
a bit of TikTok live
and they're having a massive feed?
Are they?
No.
You've got to fuel the bot.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're like three-year-old kids
are still awake and it's 9.30
and they're screaming
and they're eating this massive feed
and you're just kind of like...
Bit of mukbang, yeah. I'm so glad they've decided to go on TikTok live. Yeah. kids are still awake and it's 9.30 and they're screaming and they're eating this massive feed and you're just kind of like,
I'm so glad they've decided to go on TikTok Live.
You and TikTok Live.
As the world crumbles around them.
Yeah.
They've decided it is tantamount that they immediately share this with three people.
Of course.
So soft hiking is exactly what you think it is.
Instead of like, because you hike a bit,
you like going on bush walks and whatnot during the summer.
Instead of like powering up a hill
and being all about the sweat
and like the cardio,
vascular fitness,
a soft hike is more of a meandering.
Oh no, I couldn't do that.
A soft, a slow meander through nature.
No.
Rather than a vigorous walk.
So you can enjoy a view.
You're talking about a car park loop walk.
You could sit down on a bench.
A five minute viewing platform walk.
Yeah.
This is nothing.
No, so they just say it's accessible for all fitness levels,
you know, unlike bloody ceremony or something at Les Mills.
And it's similar to the hot girl walk.
It's just like prioritising mental health as well
as physical health. Taking in
the scenery. Have a soft hike.
Okay. I think that is all I would
be able to achieve today is a soft hike.
In your vulnerable state.
Yeah. This morning when
this morning
I was
putting my gym bag
in the back of my seat.
And I was like, as if.
Like, why am I even carrying it?
That's a backseat decoration.
Why am I carrying it out of the house?
Yeah.
So I'm going to do a soft hike.
Well, just getting into any kind of nature is good for you, isn't it?
Even if it's a five minute, ten minute.
Go for a walk and eat a banana.
A soft hike.
Yeah.
Go for a soft hike next to a body of water and eat a banana.
Yeah.
Climb a tree.
Climb a tree.
As adults, I don't think we climb trees enough.
It's dangerous.
Climbing trees is dangerous.
Yeah, that's because we fell out of.
That's because we climb high.
That's because we stop practicing.
You could climb a shrub.
I love climbing trees.
A shrub, yeah.
I'm a huge fan of getting up a tree.
How do you get down?
Look at me.
You probably don't see a tree climber, but I love a big tree climb.
I love working out what branch I need to climb onto next.
And as he falls out of the tree,
I think all the branches...
It's the last we saw of Vaughan.
Of course, way down.
Oh, another one in the bag.
It's a Versace bag as well.
If you enjoyed that, give us a rating and a review
and be sure to tell your mates.
You don't sound sincere there, boy.
I'm just reading what's written here.
