The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Enjoy a refreshing McCafe iced coffee available only from Macca's. Great things are brewing. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Happy Friday. Happy Friday. Happy Friday.

Yeah, I didn't even realise it was Friday until last night. I stayed up quite late last night and then I was like, the bins. It's bin day. Yeah, it's bin day. I got up and I was like, the bins. It's bin day. Oh, it's bin day. I got up and I was like, is it bin day? It's bin day, babe. Yeah, I had to drag mine. Every day's a bin day for me.

Wow, apartment living. Wow, must be nice. Must be nice. You're going to have to buck up your ideas when it comes to recycling, too. Why? Champ? Why? You're not heard.

What's happening? Well, they're getting more stringent. Are they? They're getting to get more full on. New recycling program. It doesn't apply to me because I put everything in the bin. Because it all ends up in the same place. Okay.

I notice because sometimes we slip rubbish into our neighbour's recycling. Yeah. Because you know how. You put recycling into your neighbour's recycling. Yeah. Yeah. Because ours often overflow us. Yep.

And I judge. I'll open it up and be like, soft plastics. Oh my God. Sake number seven. And I judge. I'll open it up and be like, soft plastics, for God's sake, number seven. And when they put things in a plastic bag,

you don't do that. I know. But then they're saying only plastics four and two and five and six. It's always been just one and two. I don't know

what a plastics four is. You look at the number, you lazy. It all goes to the same place, Hayley. Carwin, how hot is it in here? It was 22. It's going to 20.

It couldn't go faster. I'll tell you that. It couldn't go faster than that. Are you a bit hot this morning? I am hot. Heating up. I'm also wearing undies that are two sizes too small. You actually moved on to the temperature of the room

before I got the chance to kind of like subtly throw in, picked up a lot of rubbish at the beach yesterday. I just wanted to revisit the rubbish chat. Oh, we've moved on. We've moved on about the heat of the room, Hon. But I missed the chance to be sort of like an understated hero. We've moved on. No, we've moved on. Have we moved on? Yeah, it's about the heat of the room now. Next time we're going to talk about rubbish, can I

talk about it then? Well, you can make a mental note. We're done. A lot of rubbish. Thank you, Gerard. Thank you for doing charity and just crowbarring into the show, though. There it is. That's what I was after. Get that reputation up. I also found, rubbish aside, found the coolest stone.

You find a real cool stone, you're like, you're coming home with me. What are you, like, six? Yeah. Sometimes. It was flat and round. Maybe a bit too, like, fat for skimming. I don't want to body shame the stone. Yeah.

That spent probably hundreds of thousands of years being shaped to that dimension. But just a beautiful stone. And I was like, yeah, you're coming home with me. And what are you going to do with it? Start a little collection in your bathroom or something. A little rock garden. That's cool.

I reckon you'll look at that all at once. And the once being the first time you picked it up. A little zen rock garden. Oh, you could rake some sand. Coming up on the show, the top six. A pub in the UK. Yeah. What did it change its name to?

The Gym. The Gym. See you later. I'm just off to the gym. You're in the pub. That's clever. You're getting in your New Year's resolutions. You're fulfilling them.

Yeah. Go to the gym at least five times a week. And I'm pretty sure when you pay with EFTPOS or credit card, it says the gym. Yeah, which my gym comes up as in my banking. Exactly. Which has famously only ever been the foray of strip clubs. Yes. Yeah, right.

Yeah. You pay for it and it's like, so-and-so's car parts limited. Yes. And then your wife's like, you bought like one $8 car part and then a $15 car part. Yeah. All at two in the morning. I'm not sure what's going on here. Two $10 car parts. Yeah a $15 car part all at two in the morning. I'm not sure what's going on here.

Two $10 car parks. Also, I don't know. It's been a long time since I've been to the strip because I'm imagining drinks don't cost $8 there. Yeah, totally. And how long do we

own a boat? Because that says motorboat and that was $20. Yeah. Surprise, I'm building you a boat. Now you've got to build a boat. Now you've got to get

a motorboat, a motorised boat. Well, this is giving you an idea for the top six. Yeah, I've got to get a motorised boat. Well, this is giving you... It makes this specific sound. This is giving you an idea for the top six. Yeah, I've got the top six other names that would work for a pub. Okay. Next on the show... I want to discuss something that apparently men are better at than women.

And I disagree. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Disagree This is actually quite an incredible little study I have before my eyeballos Right now Well you were just poo-pooing it just moments ago It sounded like you were poo-pooing it I was doing a big poo-poo to that

But now I'm on board So this is a study that looked at wayfinding Like basically like how We navigate Ourselves in relation to the world. And I was like, oh, yeah. Basically the hook is men are better at directions than women, right? I don't know if I am. Like having traveled just recently for four weeks,

sometimes I'll just set off in a direction and I'm like, maybe it's a bit of white man arrogance. I'm like, it's this way. And then Google Maps is like, it's 180, it's 180 degrees behind you. What hemisphere were you in? You were in the northern. Northern, yeah.

Oh, that's why. You navigate by the sun. Yeah, because the water was going, the clunk hole the other way. That's what put you off. Yeah, yeah. So this study, right, I was like, okay, they're going to look at the difference between how men and women, you know, read a map or something. No, they looked at 21 different species, including humans. So we're just part of the study.

Lizards, lizards, lizards. Cuttlefish, rusty crayfish, dying poison frog, brilliant-thighed poison frog. Am I a brilliant-thighed woman? Imagine if you had brilliant thighs before your... Do I have brilliant thighs? I've barely seen thighs like them. Oh, thank you.

Honestly. So brilliant. Actually, just to pause for a second, I did post a picture of your legs on my Instagram yesterday, and the feedback is phenomenal. Good feedback. Bit of burly in the ocean. Absolutely.

He got a lot of positive feedback, but I just have one from a woman called Katie saying even for lady legs, they look kind of weird, not going to lie. Let's see Katie's legs. Okay, let me have a little look. What kind of pigs is Katie rocking around on? Private legs.

Yeah, because she's scared. She's insecure about her legs. Private legs. They looked at deer mouse, California mouse, mole rats, rats, and humans. Okay. Chimpanzees, monkeys, and how we all navigate based on sex or gender. Yep. And they previously believed that they thought men were better than women

at navigating because of evolution. They were like it's an – Like hunter-gatherers. Yeah, hunter-gatherer. The woman stayed put. I can't. I can't go anywhere. I've got to breastfeed the child.

And then they thought that that's just one of those things, like fight-or-flight mode, that's just been passed on. But then they were like that's not true. It's cultural. It's a totally – it's a gender role thing. It's because men are in charge of navigating that they're just better at it. It's cultural. It's a totally, it's a gender role thing. It's because men are in charge of navigating that they're just better at it. Yeah, totally.

It's got nothing to do with something that we have carried on through evolution. Right. I can go somewhere once, I'll be able to find my way back there every time. Yeah, you're very good. You're definitely very good. And he finds little shortcuts as well.

I've said it before, whenever I get to somewhere, I always want to know which way north is. Why? Yeah, I'm kind of like, which way is north? Same. I can said it before, whenever I get to somewhere, I always want to know which way north is. Why? Which way is north? Same. I can feel north in my soul. It's strange. I can always find it. Point to north right now. That's the sky.

That's the moon. Everyone knows that north is up. She's got you. She's got you there. That's south. Nobody eats soggy wheat bricks. But I'm, I feel like I've got good navigation skills, but once in a blue moon, I'll literally be like you, Fletch, just driving in the wrong direction. I had a girlfriend once, and I had to try to explain to her

that left wasn't always west. Oh, yeah. Because just looking at a, how you look at a compass, you know, north is straight up, like you said, and south's down and east is right and west is left. I'd be like, oh, from here it's west. And she's like, left. I was like, did that one not last?

This is the same one that had no concept of what a wheelbarrow was. I was like, you've seen them. They've got one wheel at the front and you pick up the handles at the back and you carry things around. She's like, this is a foreign concept to me oh my god did she grow up

in the city I don't know I didn't hang around I mean I grew up in the city she was okay it's okay then it's okay then

she'll be doing well it doesn't matter how good she done at school I turned I seen how she did and she did done not good

yeah she done not good I was I was turning a blind eye to all the wheelbarrow stuff well you seen how she did and she did okay. Done not good. Yeah. She done not good. I was turning a blind eye to all the Will Burrow stuff. Well, you seen how hot she was. Yeah. You know. Up close. Right.

And personal. Myriad of sins can be forgiven by a beautiful face. Yeah. I mean, she was so dumb. She was a nine pushing a 10 and she was with a Hamilton four. Oh. You know, that's. Oh, you're a Hamilton.

I won't have it. I was a Hamilton four. Okay. God, that'd a Hamilton. I won't have it, I was a Hamilton 4. Okay. God, that'll make you like an Auckland 2. Oh, barely registering

on the Richter scale. Jesus. Not even a murmur. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Well, the iconic

is a website that a lot of us have used. Oh yeah. I got some, you may remember we girl-matched some boots last year. The saga of these damn boots. Oh my yeah. I got some, you may remember, we girl-matched some boots last year.

The saga of these damn boots. Oh, my God. I had to send them back. That's a story in itself. It sucks that it took so much work to get you to buy those boots. And then you buy them and then they never showed up. And then it got pinged at customs for like $1 over. I know.

Get out of here. Well, it is one of New Zealand and Australia's leading online fashion retailers. A lot of people use it. They're based in Sydney, the iconic. They have confirmed a data breach that they say was not the result of hackers accessing its systems,

but the work of a third party using a technique known as credential stuffing. So you may need to... I prefer a bread. Better not be a couscous. I don't want a as credential stuffing. So you may need to... I prefer a bread. Better not be a couscous. I don't want a couscous stuffing. You know me. I saw couscous over the summer break and I thought of you.

Bourne would not like this. No. So what is credential stuffing? So it's when basically you use the same email and password for multiple sites. So when your email address is found in a data breach and the password, they try it on other sites. And so then they use saved credit card passwords to tick stuff up. Because some people have had some charges on their credit cards.

So the iconic is saying change your password. It's time for me. I've had variations on a theme for many, many, many years. I'm a huge fan. So everything, because I have my iPhone and a Mac, so I save all of my passwords in Apple, and I make them really hard. And those really suggested ones, it's like...

I know, but the one time you're on some other device or something, you're like... No, but you can just copy it from your passwords on your iPhone. Right. It's super easy. It sometimes can be a little frustrating. Like if you're somewhere, if you're not on one of your devices and you want to log in.

Yeah, what if you're in a hotel room and it's like you've got to log into your Netflix and you're like, oh God, okay, capital X. Well, no, so now you can use a QR code. Yeah, yeah, that's so much better that they've got that. So much better. I never log on to my Netflix, Anna. I do. Well, no, so now you can use a QR code. Yeah, yeah, that's so much better that they've got that. So much better. I never log on to my Netflix, Anna. I do.

A hotel or an Airbnb. I don't either. I know I'd forget to log out. Nah, I do, but I've always logged out. But so I know in Google Chrome you can save all your passwords and it's very similar to Apple if that they, because they sweep all the data of like breaches and they will tell you if your password and email

has been in a data breach. Yeah, I've had that. I'm like, 33 passwords. Yeah. And you're like, oh, really? So you need to go to, it's a punishing maybe two hours of your life one day. I know, you've got to change all your things,

You've got to go to the website. Relog in. I think, actually, this is a good timely reminder. It's better to do that than have, like some people, someone said she lost $1,300 Australian dollars. Oh, I don't have that to spare. After some charges.

Yeah. Someone else said $521 was ticked up. Jesus. No, no, no, no, no. So yeah, that's why you don't have the same password to everything. What if I put a capital P in front of password 123? Oh no, I just sent my password on air. Oh my God.

I reckon there's a way you could figure out my email. That's the thing. It's pretty straightforward. It's not hard. Like we've all been in a data breach. So like your basic email and password will be there somewhere online. 100%.

Totally. Or also remember the original two-factor authentication? What was your mother's maiden name? Real hard questions. Real hard questions. Real hard to name. We broke into all of our friends' emails in like the early days of email because we knew all the answers. It wasn't illegal then to do that, eh?

I don't think so. No, no, no. Back in the old days. No, it wasn't. Do your kids, just a side thought, I've got a bit of a sporadic brain today. Do your kids refer to your youth as the olden days? They asked Sade if there were cars when she was a kid. Oh, my.

Once. That would be good. What did August say? The other day I was explaining something. She's like, what's that? And I was like, it's wild that you don't know what that is. Did Sade say, I was a girl racer with the Mitsubishi? Yeah, Sade was born in 1985.

And I drive a 1967 Land Rover. So, like, they're not smart. No, they're not. God, they're beautiful, though. And thank God. Thank God. They'll get a headline for that. They're all done good.

Yeah. Well said. Well seen. Well seen. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six.

The Molster's Arms in Swansea in Wales has changed their signage to say the gym. And then there's some photos around to kind of give it the exterior that might be a gym, but it's not. It's the same old Molster's Arms. Like a stretching chart. Yeah.

Yeah, good. So now they can go in and it'll pop up on their EFTPOS receipts. The gym. I love that. Is this just for the protein shakes that they grab? Yeah, I know. God, expensive protein powder. I don't know if it's going to last.

It might just be a January New Year's resolution thing. Yeah, a little bit of promotion. Good from them. Stuff. It's apparently the vodka brand that they stock was behind the idea and paid for all the signage and they're getting their money's worth

out of it well we're talking about it on the other side of the world talking about it oh we are we're falling right into it I'll say it don't say the vodka brand

that'll teach them that's why I didn't but also I don't I've never seen the vodka brand and I don't think it's available here oh okay so I might just create

a thirst for something you're unable to quench. Yeah. Like how I'd love to try Four Walls Whiskey. Four Walls Whiskey is the guys from Always Sunny in Philadelphia launched a whiskey. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah. Oh, yum.

Yeah. And Rob McLean, Eaglin, Howarton and Charlie Day. And I really want to try it, but you can't get it in New Zealand. You should have asked me. I was just in America. Oh, yeah, you son of a gun. Don't blame me. But then it's quite, I don't think it's like a huge.

Is it like the Ryan Reynolds one? That became quite popular, though. Aviation gin. And then he sold that for like a bajillion dollars. That was good gin. I thought he just started it and then it got sold. No, like five years ago. But he stayed on as like the spokesperson.

Yeah, I think he's got his like a little 5% or something left. Just a little 5% of a billion dollar business. Oh, just a bit of coin, bit of play money. Should I have five for sweat? I wouldn't buy a football club. a billion dollar business Just a bit of coin, bit of play money I'm going to buy a football club A billion dollar business I wouldn't buy a football club Neither would I You'd buy a volleyball team

Yeah, because he loves the sport I reckon I might sponsor that 16 year old Who's taking the darts world by storm Oh my god, I know And he looks 40 He looks like a big lad. And you're like, what? And he's 16.

You seen him when he was 13? He looked 40 then, too. The dude was born to play darts. It's because he's been hanging out in darts halls with bloody boomers for his whole life. The dude's secondhand smoked a thousand packets of cigarettes by the age of 16. What a lad, eh? What an absolute lad. But the gym is the name of the pub.

And I've got the top six other names of the pub that would work also. Number six on the list, a pub called See My Nana. Oh, you're beautiful. Oh, yeah. I'm going to See My Nana. Yeah, yeah. But then when your wife or girlfriend sees that on the bank. See My Nana, See My Nana, See My Nana.

I'd just have the retirement home name it on the thing. Sunset. So you could say, bought her a G&T and a... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah. Did some drinking just before Christmas at a retirement village. I know, and I still want to go with you there.

All we need to do is know someone that either works there. Yeah. That's what I'm telling Sharts. It's time to brush off the CV. Yeah, babe. Get a job at the retirement village. That would be perfect. Yeah.

Oh, yes. Going to church. Because, you know, just giving a little bit of money to Jesus. Say your prayers. They used to pass around the basket when I went to church growing up. I'm imagining now they just pass around a pay wave. Yeah, that'd be good. Yeah, they probably do.

Yeah, just boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Oh, yeah, because you could get those phone apps, eh? Those, like, phone attachment things. Pass it around, boop, and then it's like, would you like to add tip? Because you used to be able to get out of those charity people by saying, oh, I don't have any cash, and now they're like, oh, I've got to work out the pay wave. I got the heartstrings pulled, and I was like, walk past, walk out the pay wave. I got the heartstrings pulled and I was like,

And number one on the list of the top six other names of the pub that would work as well, the orphanage. Oh, yeah. Just pop down and spend some time at the orphanage. Got quite a few The Orphanage. Oh, yeah, okay. Just pop down and spend some time at The Orphanage.

Got quite a few rounds of $15 children. Why do you keep spending $15? Just, you know, help them. Buying them things. Books.

You're buying them books. Socks. Yeah, right, okay. Books, socks, scarves. Some cheap shoes. Yeah. That's today's top six. I'm sure with the Cosi Livi cry

happening at the moment something like OnlyFans has sort of crossed a few of our minds I'm speaking on behalf of myself here yep yep

I'll give it a go yep what did Aaron say to me we were talking about because we've had a big year of spending last year renovating the house yeah what did he call it he's so innocent he was like he called it like What did Aaron say to me? We were talking about, because we've had a big year of spending last year renovating the house.

What did he call it? He's so innocent. He was like, he called it like only friends or like all the friends or something. He was like, you could get a profile on all the friends. I was like, all the friends? Only friends? I was like, only fans? He was like, is that the thing?

I was like, yes. That sounds like he was pretending Like pretending not to know. This bastard does have a degree in acting, doesn't he? Like he does have a degree in acting. I think he's an actor. I think he's got the wool over your eyes here. God, he got me there. Because I was like, what a sweet, innocent boy.

And then I said, oh, we can't do that because I'm a professional in the public eye. And he said, why don't you just do feet stuff? Well, that doesn't stop... Yeah, they're not face stuff. So in 2023, Cardi B and Tyga, respectively, monthly earnings from

OnlyFans, $9.43 million and $7.69. That'll solve a lot of problems. Yeah. That'll really knock back a few issues. Well, I mean, I all respect people on OnlyFans. Yeah.

Absolutely. It's your body. You choose what you choose to share. It kind of seems, because what does Cardi B put on OnlyFans? Because you think someone with that profile, it would leak. Like, if you were paying for it, you might like screen it. I don't think she's got her bits out. I just looked and it's like, oh, I put up this like big behind the scenes when I did a music video.

Oh. I was paying for that. Well, I want to see bits and bobs. You want paying for that. I want to see bits and bobs. You want to see everything. I want to at least see some nipples. At the very least. At the bare minimum. If I'm paying, I'm getting nipples.

Anyway, I think it's a great platform. Why not? But this OnlyFans model had a bit of an absolutely terrible interaction, right? Yeah. So she said that someone subscribed when when people subscribe to your page if you were the only fans creator you don't see you see the name they choose to display you won't see details so you don't know who's interacting with you don't see their email address or anything that might give away who they are you only see like a fake name if they've chosen

one like that yeah and so when you're engaging with people you're kind of engaging with them knowing that you don't know much about them. It's not about that. You want their money, they want your content. So she said that a male subscriber subscribed to her page and bought all of her content within the first week. So she has little packages and stuff

and the ways you can buy it. She said, which is crazy because she's got a lot of content. So straight out the gate within the first week, this subscriber spends a lot of money. She said every night they were online doing, quote, what we do at night on this platform. Then he got through all of her content, like paid for it,

watched it all. The user approached her and asked for a more personalised experience and she suggested the girlfriend experience, which is a sort of a package that she can deliver. She asks him what they should have for dinner and he says, I don't know, what should we have for dinner? And she's like, I chose last night.

Exactly. I'm sick of tacos. Yeah. Said no one ever. I know. I know. Anyway, so she said the girlfriend experience, and he said, yes, I'll get there. I'll pay up front for three months straight of this girlfriend experience, in which we can message,

and you send me little cute things, and da-da-da-da-da. She said normally no one goes over a month with this. So already she's like, man, this one's really intense. Yeah. So as a result of this, they spend a lot of, quote, intimate time together, speaking every single day. But this is just of, quote, intimate time together. Yeah.

Speaking every single day. But this is just online, right? This isn't in person. Just online. Okay. Just online. But she's giving him the girlfriend experience. Hey, babe, how was your day?

All that kind of stuff. Cute little things. I'm just wearing this little photo. Great for a wallet, she said, but not great when she found out who this user was. This person just disappeared off the face of the earth and was like, how weird? And then she found out from her best friend

it was her best friend's husband. Oh. So her best friend. Obviously knew, right? Knew it was her. Yep. So she said we literally go out on family dates, dinner dates, with all of our families together all the time. In real life.

In real life. He obviously knows it's her because she's her face and whatnot. So it was her best friend's husband had spent all this money. And then the best friend discovered where all the money had gone. He had to fess up. And she went on the app and was like, really? And is that over? Is that over? The marriage is split up. So now this OnlyFans creator who made all app and was like, really? And is that over? Is that over?

The marriage is split up. So now this OnlyFans creator who made all this money is like, so I sort of unknowingly broke up my best friend's marriage. But she didn't know. Everyone's literally jumped on and been like, hon, not on you. You've saved your best friend's marriage. Yeah, not on you. Then it's an interesting debate.

I know we've talked about this before. So people were commenting on this video, right? Being like, no, no, no, it's not you. And you saved for the marriage. And someone commented being like, oh, the fact that he's on OnlyFans, he was already cheating. And I'm like, I don't know. I've got a varying opinion on what constitutes cheating.

We've talked to our friend, sexologist Morgan Penn. About this very thing. About that. It's about communication, right? Well, you're setting the boundaries, isn't it? Yeah, totally. As long as, if I knew say Aaron wanted to get an OnlyFans and subscribe to people, I'd be like,

okay, now I know. Would he be allowed to subscribe to your friends, though? Absolutely not. Can I ask you a question, gentlemen? And I think you are both well-presented gentlemen. You're not slobs. I'm currently wearing bare feet.

Wait, am I wearing bare feet? I'm not. I just don't have shoes on. He slipped on his bare feet. Like the other day the CEO came in, I had to just quickly put my shoes on. My burks. But I would describe both of your fashion sense as casual.

Yeah. Simple. I love casual. And easy. Yeah. You know, like. I love it. We're not doing a lot of fuss or accessories.

Yeah. Well, this may help you bring a little extra something something to your outfit choices. Okay. In the morning. It's a nice and easy rule that's been doing the rounds on TikTok. Okay, an outfit has to be one of these things, and it goes in a circle. If it's not interesting in colour,

it has to be interesting in shape. If it's not interesting in shape, it has to be interesting in texture. And if it's not interesting in texture, it has to be interesting in texture. And if it's not interesting in texture, it has to be interesting in colour. And that's the simple way to do it. So if you're putting together an outfit like I've got on now. Okay. Right, we've got a plain off-black T-shirt, a silky leopard print skirt.

Yeah. It's new. It's interesting in colour, you would say. In colour, you would say, yeah. You would say. But if this was, if this skirt was also black or just plain black, I might want to add maybe a more voluminous shoulder or... I said that because shape was the one that confused me. Yeah, so shape would be like if you've got a big boxy jacket

or like a big shoulder or a big chunky shoe or something like that. I don't think this applies to guys. I think it does. No, it doesn't. So you're wearing, what are they, blue shorts? Blue shorts. Blue shorts, green top. Neither interesting in colour nor shape nor texture.

Yeah. So with your T-shirt, you might want to add a little bit of a weave or a knit. I can see you in a knit. I don't think I do. I don't think I do. I don't think I do. In the middle of this extremely hot summer, we're finishing a heat warning again today. A weave or a knit.

Now, I want to throw to my fellow girlies here, and I include producer Jared in that because he's actually joined a girlies chat. He's watching Love Island, isn't he? Love Island. One of the girls now. Would you abide by this rule? Yeah, definitely.

Yeah, Shannon, because you love to play with colour. Yeah. And volume. We just went through the producer's booth. So I've gone colour, Karwin's gone texture today, and Jared's gone colour. Yeah, Jared's gone colour.

He's wearing a bright orange. Yep. You're a fashionista, babe. He knew. He's a fashionista. Yeah, I just... Okay, that's the rule, is it? That's the rule. If it's not interesting by colour, it's got to be interesting by knew. He's a fashionista. Yeah, I just... Okay, that's the rule, is it? That's the rule.

If it's not interesting by colour, it's got to be interesting by shape. If it's not interesting by shape, it's got to be interesting by texture. If it's not interesting by texture, it's got to be interesting by colour. So if I'm none of those, what am I just...

Boring. Boring. Boring and bland and sort of, you know, wouldn't even pick you out of a crowd. Chuck on a feather boa. I reckon you'd be really good. Yeah, my Harry Styles. Interesting made texture.

Interesting made texture. A pink one too. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little boys. Silly little boys. It is so silly, silly, silly that Silly little boys.

Silly little boys. Silly little boys. Silly little boys. Silly little bull. Silly little bull. Silly little bull. Silly little bull. Just walking through someone on the text machine how to change it from English dubbed on that movie we were just talking about, Society of Snow, to original Espanol with subtitles.

I never watch dubbed. Nah, don't. I remember I watched the first episode of Squid Game unknowingly dubbed, and then I was like, God, this performance sucks. Yeah, don't. I remember I watched the first episode of Squid Game unknowingly dubbed and then I was like, God, this performance sucks. Yeah, you lose a little something.

You can't be on your phone, but you know what? It's a nice experience. Don't be on your phone. Have some respect for the dead.

Yeah. Silly little poll. Would you pose nerd for a charity calendar? Like a lot of, what was that movie? There was a famous one.

Was it based in the UK Was it Calendar Girls Calendar Girls Yeah And it's like a stage show As well sometimes I love that

Yeah That's what they did They were raising money Yeah raising money For one of them Had breast cancer Yeah The uni vets do it

Every year They do a tasteful calendar Don't they Yeah We had a look Yeah Would you pose for it The options

Yes full notity 30 Sorry Maybe partial nudes full calendar, don't they? Yeah, we had a look. Yeah. Would you pose for it? The options, yes, full nudity. 30, sorry, maybe partial nudes or no way. Okay. Now, the biggest response, no way. Really?

57% of people said no way. 35% said maybe partial nudes. 7% full nudity. Now, I clicked full nudity. I'm part of the 7%, I will say. Did you? But it meant partial nudity. So, I clicked full nudity. I'm part of the 7%, I will say. Did you?

But it meant partial nudity. So you misvoted. I just went hot in and then I saw partial. I thought it was going to be naked or no. So you would be like with a strategically placed. Like a hand and another hand, you know. Okay, yeah. I'd do that. I'm hell yeah.

With a nip cover. What month would you be on the calendar? I know it's arrogant, but I'd want to be Christmas. Do you know what I mean? I think I'm worthy of it. It is arrogant. It is so arrogant.

So you'd be like sitting in like some kind of Westfield Santa mall. Bit of tinsel over the edge. Would you rather be Christmas than your birthday month? Yeah. I've always thought it'd just be February

because it's my birthday month. Actually, maybe I'd do October because that's my birthday month and I'd make it a bit got, a bit witchy for Halloween. Oh, yeah, a bit themed. Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. Gothy boobs. They've got bats on them.

Yeah, and spider webs all over the areas you want to cover. We should do one. Should we do one? Nope. Some feedback. Should we do it? Hang on. No, no, no, no.

One, two, three, four, five, six of us. We'll do two months each. That's seven, eight. Georgia, nine. Cam, four, five, six of us. We'll do two months each. Brian Clint. That's seven, eight. Georgia, nine. Cam, ten. Ross Boss, eleven. What's your love? And then a group photo for Christmas.

Yeah, right. All right, I'll organise it. Nope. Jal said not for charity. So she'd do it for fun? Or like for her own personal gain. Okay. Is Sade still going to be making our nude calendar

that we've been sort of working up? Yeah, she was supposed to make that, wasn't she? No, she hasn't. Not for sale, for private use. No, that's a private in-joke calendar, that one. Mickey says, if you can send a nude to somebody for the purpose of Netflix and chillings,

surely you can display it for charity. Yeah, fair call. Yeah, but that's only for one person. Yeah, versus how many people support this charity. It'd be nice to know you single-handedly boosted the charity numbers back up. Yeah. You're like, oh, we've been doing this for a few years. I might jump in. Oh, yeah, we'll give you a month. Would this

also be like the likes of the fireman's calendar? Because that's like partial. That's partial, isn't it? It's not nudity. It's shirtless, which feels different. Yeah. For men, it feels different. Yeah.

This country is way too small, says Steph. Too many people I know would see it, and that would be horrifying. Yeah. Bridget said, nudes for a cause. X. So I think that means she's pro-nudes. Pro-nudes for a cause. Yeah.

Kirstie says It's more charity for me to stay covered by the way To be honest To be honest No she said TBH And I said I imagine BTW To be honest

It's more charitable for me to stay covered No Oh Christy I'm sure you're beautiful Hayley Not this Hayley Another Hayley says Life's short why not

Yeah Hell yeah Good stuff So that's 7%. 7% of the adult population of New Zealand is a lot of people. We do genitals as well. Why not? We've been looking forward to this because it's been in the works for a while.

Minecraft, the movie, which is based on a game on the place. It's on everything. On the the place. It's on everything. On the plenty things. It's on everything. But it's a very popular game, Minecraft, and we knew that they were making a movie and it's Jason Momoa-led.

Now, I've been following this, obviously, and when the actor strikes happened and everything got delayed and then he left the country, I was devastated and consoled. You were heartthrob. I was heartthrobbed. And if people,

I mean, I don't know if anybody did, but if people missed the interview where you gushed over him and he gushed over you in an interview. He did no such thing in the interview. There was gushing. There was gushing. There was emotional and physical chemistry.

You can see that on our Instagram or TikTok. Yeah, indeed. Well, Jason is on his Instagram or TikTok. All of our socials. Yeah, indeed. Well, Jason is on his way back. Anytime now, I think they were waiting for the award ceremonies to be over and then they're heading back to start filming Minecraft. But he's not the only one.

But the Oscars haven't... February 8th. Yeah. They're soon. So Jason Momoa is coming back. He loves New Zealand. I believe he has a place here. I don't know.

I'll sniff it out though. You've been doing a lot of pesting, a lot of stalking. So much pesting. I need to calm down. I'm surprised you don't know the actual address. Yeah, I don't, eh? So he's coming back. But also it was rumoured Pedro Pascal was in this film.

That was last year. And Steve Carell. Those were the names that were being chucked around. Not in it. I think Pedro was in it and then he pulled out. I think he's got a film, The Last of Us, which I'd rather he filmed than whatever this movie is. Totally.

So what we know who's on the way soon is Jason. Jack Black, who I love, have always also had a crush on him. Timeless, very funny. But he's spent a lot of time here anyway, hasn't he? Yeah, he has. He was literally here last week.

Why? Caleb Clark. Was he here for a bit of, when he was in Kong? Yeah. That's right. With Peter Jackson, so he was here for a bit of that.

Yeah, for ages. Yeah. And last week, Caleb Clark from the All Blacks, he got a photo with him and was like, yeah, I love this dude and this guy,

we had a fun time. And I think he was here doing stuff in preparation for Minecraft. Then he's gone back. And so Jack, Jason, and Jennifer Coolidge. Oh my God.

This is what I'm excited about. Like, I would love to just see her. I don't even want to talk to her. I just want to see her in real life and just be like, oh my God,

it's Jennifer Coolidge. Do you know what's cool about these three is I feel like, I mean, Jack and Jason, you know, they love New Zealand. They love the low-key vibe. And they're really like approachable dudes. Jennifer, I feel like, will be the same. She doesn't feel like she's so like funny and self-deprecating. I feel like she'd be such a good interaction. Yeah.

Not the super Hollywood, like, don't talk to me, you know, I'm a big celeb thing. I'd hate to be disappointed by that. So all these three celebs are going to be out and about. And more, but those are the three that are, like, announced they're coming, that they're in the movie. And this is being filmed in West Auckland? Not Wellington?

Well, I am... No, it's not Wellington. No, it's definitely Auckland. Yeah. From the friends in the film industry, I think it's being filmed out by our way.

Shannon's friends met her. So... Met Jennifer Coolidge. What was the interaction? She was at the Emmys last week, my friend, and... Wait! How do you have a friend

at the Emmys? Oh, my magician boyfriend and there's a whole... My friend got nominated for an Emmy. Children's Emmy. I love Sam, but children's Emmy. Right.

But yeah, my friend was there and she was wearing this gorgeous, like long tulle dress. Sure. And Jennifer Coolidge came up to her and said, I love your dress. You look so gorgeous. She initiated that?

She initiated it. Oh my God, wow. I'd melt, I'd melt. Yeah, my friend said it was a very short interaction. It was pretty much just that. But, yeah, Jennifer came all over, complimented her, and then my friend was like, I love you, you're so great. And she's like, oh, thanks.

I'm not going to do the impression. She's like, I better get out of here. Yeah. Is it because Jennifer Coolidge has been around for, like, decades? Like, she was she what was the dogs dogs and dogs the best in show

best in show yeah waiting for guffman the mighty wind waiting for all those Christopher Guest films she's not in guffman is she yeah I think she is

yeah right all those Christopher Guest films then she went to Stifler's mom yeah then had a quiet period then had a sort of a renaissance legally blonde

of that legally blonde so she's always kind of been there and I think she knows the value of like Legally Blonde so she's always kind of been there and I think she knows the value of like hard work so I think she's been around

she's nice to people because of it right yeah totally because she didn't yeah she didn't like do well and then just skyrocket and then become an a-hole

she did have a big dip she talks about it and how White Lotus has kind of pulled her out into this new thing where everyone's just like you are actually just everything

yeah you know whereas like the last roles they're like she's a bit of a bimbo or this and she's so pulled her out into this new thing where everyone's just like, you are actually just everything. You know, whereas like the last roles, they're like, she's a bit of a bimbo or this, and she's so self-aware. So great. What, she's going to be floating around New Zealand? I honestly just cannot handle it.

If I, we need to facilitate some kind of. Accidental run-in? Accidental run-in. Well, if they're in West Auckland, I think I'm going to message all the pubs who know me quite well in West Auckland. Yeah. You're a VIP regular. And just say, like, text me when they arrive.

That's not stalkery at all. I'm going to stroll in looking so casually hot and cool. Yeah. Being like... on my motorcycle. Can I borrow your Range Rover? Because that'll get the attention of... It's a Land Rover.

Land Rover. Oh, I'm so... I'm done. I'm done. Damn it. I stuffed so undone. Damn it. I stuffed that, didn't I? Play ZM's

Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. It's the final rankings. We do this on Fridays. We rank something. It could be food. It could be household items. We'll argue and debate to find the best.

Till one reigns supreme. Today, the topic. Candles. Candle scents. This was an idea from producer Shannon. You were gifted a, I believe, gifted a candle. Was this a Christmas present? It was.

I got an ocean candle. So what's the scent? It was like, oh, beech or whatever. But it just smells like salt, really. Because do you remember when Act Party, what's her name? Van Vandermam. Brooke Vandermam. Brooke Vandermam Duncan.

She came on Heavy Beating Paying Attention and she made soap. She's really into soap making. She goes to soap and she said it was ocean smelling. It's a bit broad, isn't it? It smelled like straight up fish. It was awful. No, mine's not fishy. It's just you're salty

but it's really refreshing. It's quite, no, like a citrusy scent. It's not citrus but it feels like when you're Bright, light, salty, airy kind of thing. It's a bit vague to me though.

I'm more of a vanilla. What's the Akoya one look like? Is it vanilla and... Vanilla, baby. Vanilla and vanilla bean? Yeah, vanilla bean. French vanilla. Yeah.

French vanilla. Oh, no, French pear is the Akoya one. French pear is the French one. My favourite Akoya, not with the pump and the brand here, but Sweet Pea and Jasmine. Very feminine. The Christmas Pine. Yeah, see, I've got a Christmas

Pine on the go at the moment, and it's so strong you walk past it, it's not lit, and you're like, that's good stuff. I once received from my best friend a dark chocolate and peppermint candle. And I remember at the time thinking, like, yuck. And then it was exquisite.

Really? It was really good. Because sometimes you get the musky, whiskey kind of. Yeah, I like those ones. Tobacco with a bit of tobacco. Yeah, Sandalwoods. Yeah, Sandalwoods. Havana or that sort of vibe because it's got a bit of cigar, but a Sandalwood, a bit of whiskey.

We've got a tobacco and patchouli in our bathroom. I like that. I like those ones. Yeah, that's pretty posh. I would say my number one is Sweet Pea and Jasmine. I've loved it since I was young. It's just gorgeous, fresh. I don't even know

what sweet pea smells like, but it smells like heaven. Don't even bother with a lavender because that just to me says toilet spray. Yeah. Anything like that. Sorry, nana.

Yeah. Real nana vibes. Yeah, rose is a bit soft, isn't it? Yeah. Then I'd have to go a vanilla-y. Yeah, vanilla's my number one. What about coconut?

Oh yeah, anything vanilla or coconut for me. One and two. Oh really? And then Christmas pine, I'd say. Do you know what? Christmas pine, bloody rules. But how long do I keep it out?

Is it weird that my house smells like Christmas pine? No, it's great. I'm going to go Sweet Pea and Jasmine, number one. I'm going to go number two being a vanilla variation on a theme. Yep. And the third one, I'm going to go with a tobacco-y... Musky. Musky man scent.

Like tobacco and leather. Yeah, that's good stuff. That would be my number one. A tobacco-y leather. Number two, I will go a French pear. Traditional. You do? Yeah, okay. And something citrusy.

Something with a bit of citrusy cut through. Then you've got a citronella candle on your hands. No, you don't have a citronella because that citronella is its own thing. No. What about a sandalwood? Orange. Oh, yeah. I don't mind sandalwood.

I'd always put sandalwood in with the... Tobacco-y. Tobacco-y, muscary. It's weird, eh? Because if someone walks in the room and they've just had a durry, you're like, yuck. But the moment a candle is like tobacco, it smells like a leaf. Yeah, it's not lit tobacco. It's like you're having a yuck. But the moment a candle is like tobacco, it smells like a leaf. Yeah, it's not lit tobacco. It's like you're having a sniff of a cigar.

Because it could very easily go into a hungover dad category. You know, like a hungover Sunday dad smelling. Yeah, whiskey and durries. Whiskey, durries and bacon. The hungover dad, the hangover dad. You girls have a candle company? Yeah. Do that.

Whiskey, durries and bacon. The hungover dad candles. Yeah, well, there's maple, there's kind of maple and maple kind of smelling candles. I feel maples and your sweet vanillary, your biscuits, your spices, your cookies, that kind of thing.

Your French pear's beautiful. What's your third? So you're going durries and you go, oh, something citrusy. Durries, pud and meat. Something citrusy. Just you go, oh, something citrusy. Durries, pud, and meat. Something citrusy. Yeah. Okay.

Just how he likes his afternoons. Get home, durries, and a bit of pud. That was easy. I think we nailed that. Well, who wins? Who reigns supreme? Because we've all got a different number one. You both had French pear.

Yeah. No, I didn't have French pear. I had sweet pea jasmine. Okay. Vanillary? Vanillary. I had sweet pea jasmine. Okay. Vanillary? Vanillary. I think a vanilla wins. Yeah, go for a vanilla-y pud.

Yeah, pud wins. Yeah. Followed closely by durries. By musky leather whiskey durries. You know what? For a lot of people, a durrie is a pud. That's how they lose their weight. Yeah, I know.

What is the secret to your weight loss? They say ingesting thousands of chemicals through this delicious cigarette. Yeah. Now, when was the last time I was flatting? 2011. I moved down in 2012, the top of 2012 for my uni flat. Yeah. And have never gone

flatting since we still Aaron and I stayed with in a flat with friends for three months you're lucky

that was it yeah I know very lucky well that's young to get out of it yeah well cause I met Aaron when I was 21 and then we moved in together

and here we still are pushing through despite our differences yeah it's so vast sorry that just I don't know where that came from. Opposites attract.

Opposites do attract. So yeah, I haven't flatted for a while, but I remember not loving huge parts of it. It's testing. You've got to find people that, yeah. I'm bringing this up because I saw a TikTok of a girl sharing that she's flatting and she came home to find that her flatmate had put up a beaded curtain from the lounge.

You know, like... Yeah. Wait, into her room from the lounge? No, no, no, just into like the next bit of the house. Were these like big in the 70s? Like the wooden beaded ones? Yeah, and then a hangover into the 80s and then they... Can flies not get through them?

I think that's the idea. Yes, they can. They're like strands of bees. Is it and then they- Can flies not get through them? I think that's the idea. Yes, they can. They're like strands of bees. Is it the big plastic flaps flies can't get through? Yes, they're on the bakery thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The bakery and butchers. Butch the baker.

I had one the other day going into a bakery so much thicker. It must be real old because it was real thick. They've hardened in the sun, eh? It's like just trying to walk through a doormat. And they're so gross. I hate going through those. They're not around too much now. But when you find them, you're just like- in the sun, eh? Yeah, it's like just trying to walk through a doormat. And they're so gross. I hate going through those. Yeah. They're not around too much now,

but when you find them, you're just like, oh, well. There's a food court in Ponsonby, the Ponsonby International Food Court, that has chains. You know, like heavy chains. And you're always like, damn it. But why do they, is it to stop flies?

Yeah, probably. Or birds, maybe. Yeah, for birds. It's to stop the killer bees. Killer, killer bees, y'all. The gang or the actual bees? The gang and the bees. Oh, both, okay. But anyway, this person's just like, ooh. Birds, maybe. Yeah, for birds. Just stop the killer bees. Killer, killer bees, y'all. The gang or the actual bees? The gang and the bees. Oh, both.

Yeah. But anyway, this person's just like, ooh. Yeah. And how do you, like, it's your space as well as mine, but ooh. Well, this is the thing. Especially if you're one of those people that likes, like, matching everything to match. And then you've got a flat. You're going for an aesthetic.

And there's, like, four or five different people. And someone has their couch. Someone might have this bit of furniture. Yeah, or I'll bring the coffee table. the coffee table and I'll bring the couch. But that's flatting, baby! I know, I know. It's meant to be hodgepodge. You're meant to have a drawer full of mismatched knives and forks and no spoons. Some of my friends, I've

got a mixture. I've got some friends that are flatting that have, like, live in a nice flat with a profession and it's all kind of curated. They've kind of made a vibe. Yep. And everything's in the vibe and you're like,'s nice that's harmonious and i've got friends that live in a flat that yeah like i i bring this you bring that and jam it in and it's all very functional and then who cares and who cares how it is but that's the thing why would you talk about your friends that live in a flat with like form and function like someone buys a really nice couch

and they get home and somebody else is on it and their spot that they wanted to lie on it's your couch but you can't say like, can you move? Because this is, I purchased this. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I thought we could take some calls and get some messages in about what your flat mate brought to the flat. You know, like what did they contribute to the flat in terms of the aesthetics of it?

Are we talking weird and wonderful? Yes. I'll take weird and wonderful, man. I'll take weird and wonderful. I feel like you would have odd things. When we were living in that flat, I'd just take stuff home from work. Yeah. They'd be having an office clear out and they'd be like,

who was that guy that signed that poster? Remember that block-mounted poster? Oh, Jesse McCartney. Jesse McCartney. So it was like, who has this Jesse McCartney poster? I was like, I'll take it. And that was on the wall of your flat forever. I think when we moved out, it was still just hanging there.

It was still just there. It might still be there. 21 Truro Road, Sandringham. Do you have a signed Jesse McCartney block-mounted poster on the wall? It's actually very freeing

not having an aesthetic in the house because then you're just like ha ha and put things up. But if you have a friend that puts on a really odd

piece of furniture or something that doesn't match and you've got that aesthetic what do you do if they're a new flatty? You can't be like

ooh it doesn't match. Yeah. Or maybe just something so like off vibe, like a wooden beaded curtain. And they just put it up. All good if it's going into their room. Nah, I don't know if it is. They have a proper door into it.

Yeah, but in front of the door. They're decorative. But you can't just put it in a communal area where people have no choice but to walk through it. Well, that's what we want to know. So a flatmate has caused controversy by putting up a beaded curtain in a flat. You said it.

It's as simple as that. Yeah. I mean, that's not to everybody's taste. Probably a remnant of the 70s or 80s. Yeah, I'd be a little bit upset with a beaded curtain. Every time somebody walks through, it's like... Yeah. That noise.

Especially when you don't want to be touched and it all drapes all over your skin in the middle of summer. So we want to know what a flatmate has added to the flat that maybe didn't go with the aesthetic or to people's taste. Yes. Hannah, what did a flatmate put up? She came home from a trip to her parents one day with a bunch of her framed baby photos of herself

and she just hung them up all around the flat. Of herself? I would have thought parents, your parents hold on to your framed baby photos because you're their baby. They don't get a certain age and they're like, yuck, take these. And you don't have a photo of yourself as a baby.

That's bizarre. That's so weird. You have your babies. You don't have yourself as a baby. Was it a. That's so weird. You have your babies. You don't have yourself as a baby. Was it a joke? I think a little bit, but also it did add a nice little, like,

homey touch to the house. So people were just like, oh, yeah, we'll just leave them up. So it's a joke, but there they are. You know, that's the thing

that I'm always like, I get the joke, but how long are we rolling with it as a gang? I know. I don't know. That is a weird one. Thank you, Hannah.

I'll send messages in. Somebody's messaged in calling out friend of the show James. Gay James. Gay James for the long-term listeners. I'll gay James. I'll gay James. James added his live, love, laugh every day after work to the flat. Does he have live, love, laugh every day?

Of course he does. It's so good. No, he doesn't. He does. He does. And his own good. No, he doesn't. He does, he does. And he's a man of style and taste. I tell you what, the girls did not like it, but they lit it up. I simply must say, a photo of this horrendous shit.

He literally had it in the dining area. Yeah, it was horrendous. And they had a great aesthetic in that flat too. Oh, it was such a lovely flat. And then they had live love laugh. And that was the one thing that ruined it. How big? Because everybody loves James, they couldn't say take the massive.

What colour? White. Was the font, each word was a different font? Yeah, it was horrendous. Yeah. So funny. I'm recounting my love for James. I know.

I love James. He's my beautiful little baby boy, but I'm not. I don't know if he's put them up at his new flat or not. If it is, we're doing a breaking and entering and burning it. Just save him from himself. Keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 dials it in. What did the flatty add to the flat?

I'm telling you, there's some bloody ugly flats out there, aren't there? I love the ugly flat aesthetic. When I think about your legendary flat that we had so many parties at, it was a mishmash of things. Dude, it was just- It was so great. Hey, you get home, you'll be like, I found a chair. Add it in, baby.

It was on the side of the road. It's got a leg missing. But we can fix this. Yeah. They're the best flats. This can work. But so there is an argument online because a girl put a beaded curtain up. And the flatmates are like, no way.

Somebody said, side note, we were talking about the chain curtains. Yes. It's to stop pigeons getting in. Yeah. Because Best Ugly Bagel in Newmarket has one, and they said the best part about it is watching people get tangled up in chains. Yes, and be like, ah! And you're like, that's why pigeons can't get through, not even humans can get

through them. Yeah. So the ugly things, or just interesting things that have been added to your flat by flatmate? Yeah, Lucy, what was added to the flat? So he had a wall in our garage that he would use

for axe throwing practice. Wait, practice? How often was he throwing axes? Oh, like, probably daily. Like, we could hear it because it would

make banging sounds. Okay. At least he put something up to throw the axes into. He wasn't just using the wall as it was. In the lounge or something. Yeah. Was he a competitive axe thrower? Yeah, yeah. That was

his hobby that he would go to. He would either do it in our garage or he'd go to a sweet axe throwing in town and throw axes. And then at some point, I know he went to Wisconsin for some international hatchet event or something. Oh, so it's actually a thing. Oh, okay. Wow. And then at some point, I know he went to Wisconsin for like some international hatchet event or something. Oh, so it's actually a thing. Oh, okay, wow. And he was

practicing in the garage. Did you get your bond back on that? Like darts for dudes with massive wangs. Yeah, it is, hey. This is too small for my penis. You could throw that tiny little dart or you could throw an axe. Yeah, hurl an axe. Wow. Okay, and then did he get your bond back?

Did he damage anything? As far as I know, it was all fine. I ended up leaving before he did so he kind of Your problem, not mine. Yeah.

Yeah, wow. Exactly, yeah, yeah. But like every now and again because I don't know if you've like been to the Axe Line places but you see like the boards get chipped away.

Yes, yes. Yes, I have. It's one of the hottest things I've ever seen. He would have to like remove a plank and like put a new one in and like repaint it

so we could like paint it. It's quite hot. It's quite hot. I want to look him up on Facebook now and see if he's like matching up with my

expectations. Alright, wait there Lucy. We'll get his name. We've got the news and an ad break. We'll have a little hot perv. I do feel it's Friday. You guys ready for a little

eight o'clock perv? Do you think we could make that a thing that on Fridays you call up if you've got a perv for us to look at? You just give us the account and then we'll let you go on your way. Or like on air. Everybody gets to have a perv. You call up, you describe the perv to us. Remember that

guy that was at Motorcycles? That dude! I still get notifications of people finding that. They listen to the old podcast where we're like, this guy is hot. And I still, because I commented on it, I still get a notification of people being like, they liked your comment and they've replied.

They're like, I've listened to the podcast and this was worth it. Riding motorbikes around Queenstown. Yeah, I saw some photos. Yeah, some great photos of a summer actually. I think we should do a pervert Friday. And you just ring up. But what if they ring up, then we contact the person and say,

do we have permission to gawk? Perf. Yeah. And if they say no, we say we respect that. We respect that. Liam, sorry, just got sidetracked there by pervert Friday. What was added to your flat? Well, admittedly, it was me that did it,

but I found a life-size Steven Adams cutout in the roof of my mate's work, and so I brought that back to your flat? Well, admittedly, it was me that did it, but I found a life-size Steven Adams cutout in the roof of my mate's work, and so I brought that back to the flat and sort of placed it gently behind one of the doors so people used to come in and just lose their minds at this super tall guy hiding behind a door. I love that. I love that.

I'd place it firmly in my bed. Made it life-size. Piffy paper cuts, if you know what I mean. Why is your leg bleeding? Don't ask. Were the flatmates happy with this or did it end up staying?

No, they weren't. We actually had a party one day and it mysteriously went missing, but I think it might have possibly been a bit of sabotage. Yeah. That's not odd. Yeah. Really killed theage. Yeah. Yeah. That's not odd. Yeah.

Really repealed the fun after that. Yeah. Oh, that sucks. I'm going to see why. Liam, thank you. Some messages to finish. My flatmate had a habit of op shopping and came home with a taxidermied mouse

and she put it on the coffee table right in front of the TV. And I said, oh, the cat's not going to like that. And then when we were on the road of it, she was out and we said, oh, the cat tore it to to like that. And then when we were on the road of it, she was out. And we said, oh, the cat tore it to bits. Yeah, good. That wasn't good. Somebody else said, my flatmate had a clear plastic coffee table with real jelly beans preserved inside it.

But then there was a crack. And so air got in and the jelly beans went all moldy and the mold spread throughout the jelly beans. So we had to throw the whole table away. That is feral. You only want jelly beans. Yeah, same actually. A perfect lolly. Yeah, actually. A perfect lolly.

Yeah, it is the perfect lolly. A bit of resistance. Hard jib. Oh, yes, sir. I beg your pardon. Nah, I'd go jelly bean over a hard jib. Nah, but hard jibs are hard to come by now. Yeah, I know.

That's what makes them extra special. Yeah, I know. Do you know what's also a perfect lolly? While we're here, Skittles. No! What? Can't do a handful. here, Skittles. No. What? You can't do a handful. Yes, you can do a handful.

No, too many different flavours. If you're going to do a handful, it's an M&M's or a Smarties. You're right there. What you did is you came to Lolly University thinking you knew it all out of Lolly High School and you've been further educated. Play ZM's Fletchford & Ailey. you knew it all out of Lolly High School and you've been further educated. We've got a couple of weddings coming up.

A couple of beautiful homosexual weddings. Just don't know why that needed pointing out but I think it's just going to mean that they're more fun. And do you know Vaughan

that you've actually put so much stress on our friends getting married about the food issue? Good. I don't think you realise how much stress you put on people.an, that you've actually put so much stress on our friends getting married about the food issue? Good. I don't think you realise how much stress you put on people. Yeah, they're really stressed.

You know how Sade feels about the chipped plates and we keep bringing it up and it was funny and now it's not funny. I think that you might have done that with the food. They're really nervous. As well they should be. That you're not going to have enough food. I rate a wedding primarily by how well fed I am.

Anyway, I mentioned earlier in the week that we were all kind of shocked to learn that one of the dress codes is cocktail, which feels sort of standard for a summer New Zealand wedding. And it was clarified that the other one is formal. And we were thrown somewhat about that. And so we've all been sort of fishing for outfits to be formal enough. Because I had my Richard Branson linens ready to go. Not enough, not formal enough.

No, that's not formal. So we need to wear two different outfits because they're back-to-back weddings and they're the same social circle. I'm wearing exactly the same. Aaron will be doing the same. Are you just changing the tie? I'm not wearing a tie.

The hat? It's too hot. You've got to change an accessory. It's too hot for me. You can't be at the same weddings wearing the same. Aaron will be wearing one outfit both weekends. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Literally the same group of friends.

I don't care. Changed out by a few people. It absolutely doesn't worry me whatsoever. Aaron will be wearing the same outfit both weekends, for sure. The idea of even suggesting to him to change it, it would blow his mind. It would Eve blow his mind. Yeah. I might be hoping to get a shirt washing and ironing in between but if not

you know we're on a tight turnaround here. One week. It is. Literally four days in between. So we went shopping

yesterday Fletch because you were unsure whether your formal look was still fitting so we ticked that off the list and said

that fits enough it looks good la-di-do but the shoe situation's not great for you at the moment. And then you needed the more cocktail summer look because boy, oh boy, you men are going to be hot. I literally said before we went shopping yesterday,

man, I feel sorry for men. And I said, thank you. Finally. It's about time. It's about damn time. It's about damn time. Because one, I think it's easier for women to jump between cocktail and formal quite easily. A little bit more makeup, different shoe, different jewelry, and we're there.

I can turn a cocktail look into a formal look quick smart. Whereas for you guys. And you can wear like a jandal. You can make a jandal cocktail. But we can wear also next to nothing. A slinky number in a silk and we're going to be nice and cool and still look formal. Whereas you guys, when you get formal,

you've got to be chucking on more layers. Yeah. You're adding something tight around your neck. You're adding a jacket. It's hard. So we went shopping yesterday to look for a few things for Fletch. And my review on shopping with Fletch, I usually hate shopping with men.

Oh. 10 out of 10. Uh-oh. 10 out of 10. He doesn't muck around. I'd be like you. I think I've been shopping with Fletch. I usually hate shopping with men. 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. He doesn't muck around. I'd be like you. I think I've been shopping with Ron very similar. So we walked from his house and he saw two stores and said, let's

go in there. First store found the two things he wanted and he just bought them. He was like, yep, I like this enough. And then I would usually go, okay, I like them. I'll go shop for a couple of hours, come back. Why? Just two hours straight in the toilet. Great pants.

You agreed with me. Who cares if there's more great pants? These are great pants. We're going to have some satisfactory pants. And they look good on me. Fantastic pants. They fit. And I was like, well, that's perfect.

That's it done. I don't need to keep looking. The shopping wasn't finished though because we wanted to go into shoe shopping. The next thing That adds to the 10 out of 10 review He prioritised food Well yeah We did food first

I said oh well there's the shop We want to go into It's around the corner He said no no We've got to get food first We've got to eat We've got to eat And I was like thank you

The amount of times You're shopping with women And they're so focused On the clothes and the shopping That you're like When are we eating? Yeah But do you know what?

I'd already put the pants on, so it didn't matter if I blew out a little bit of the sim there at the next lunch. Yeah, pants pre-lunch. Pants pre-lunch. And then lunch and then shoes post-lunch. Yeah. Because I'm not going to blow out on the ankle.

Or am I? Oh, my God. Get some cankles from a little noodle. Yeah. And the third one would just be the speed at which we're walking. We went to like six different stores within the space of an hour

and we were done and at that time we ate a meal and then found the shoes pretty quick too found the shoes one thing we didn't find was a hat

like a kind of a dressy but ankle boot colour black black with a brown sole so you could go both multi

yeah multi colour sole leather laces laces a thin leather lace classy I'm going to change them Black with a brown sole so you could go both. Multi, yeah, multicoloured sole. Yeah, leather. Laces. Laces. A thin leather lace. Classy. I'm going to change them, though, to those curly pink ones so you don't have to do them tying up.

Yeah, so you can just slide your foot in. Slip in, slip off. Yeah, those ones. I will say, and the great thing is, he saw the shoes and tried them on, decided he liked them. I looked at them. They were a fifth of the price of the other ones we looked at. And that was just by chance.

Cheap, cheap. Cheap but not nasty. Tick, tick, tick. It was just a wonderful experience. Yeah, this is great. I actually learned a lot. The only thing we didn't know was that we were thinking about a hat

because it's going to be really hot. And as a bald fella, you've got to really protect the head. You've got to protect the head. But we didn't know that. No. So that's TBC. But don't expect me

to reciprocate this and go shopping with you because I'll just get bored. I didn't get to stop in a single store. I'll just get bored. But it was actually quite good. I mean, you just classically

summed up your entire life. As long as it's for me and I get to make all the shots, then I'm happy to be here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but as a woman who enjoys shopping for men, like I enjoy shopping for Aaron,

it was a pleasure to be the girlfriend. Do you know what I mean? It was a pleasure to be the one. Yeah. Come on. Come on. Come out and show me. No, it looks good.

Come here. None of that. Perfection. 10 out of 10. I give it 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10, sir. That's great. Yeah.

Another handy tip is when you walk into a store and someone's like, hey, how can I help you? And you just tell them what you want. Dude, we did this the first store we went to. He heard me saying to Fletch a few things about what he needs to look, the colours that work with him, the fabrics he needs to be looking for. And the guy said, oh, sounds like you've pretty much got it underway.

And then he just chucked in a couple of easy, light suggestions that really, it just, 10 out of 10. Yeah. 10 out of 10, sir. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. I am going to preface this by saying I don't follow the star signs.

Though I am the kind of person that reads Libra, you know, if a star sign comes across my desk. Are you? And I go, oh my god, that's so spot on. Are you the kind of person that if you were single again, and say you were on a dating app, would you only look for

different kind of star signs? Like guys that had different kinds of star signs? No, I couldn't give a single again and say you were on a dating app, would you only look for different kind of star signs? Like guys that had different kinds of star signs? No, I couldn't give a shite. Some people are. Aaron's birthday is two days before me. We're both Libras and Libra and Libra famously do go quite well together. Okay. We're the balancing act. Yeah. Do you know what I mean?

But I did read an article this morning that I thought was worth sharing because it's a good laugh. And a lot of the time we just passed, we're 10 days after sort of world divorce day, a lot of splits over summer after stressful Christmases and whatnot and a tough year. People are out there looking to find a new mate.

And we don't have a species sort of mating call. It's hard. It's different. You know, there's none of like the birds or like the dance things. It's all different. So perhaps star signs can help you. And an astrologist has given you how to charm each star sign. It's specific.

So shall I go to you? You're next, Vaughn. What are you? You're a G Vaughn. What are you? You're a Pisces. Why don't you just run through the list real quick? No, because it's quite involved, each of them. Oh, is it? Oh, yeah.

There's a full thing. Well, you're going to have to tell people where to get this because people will be very upset if you don't read out there. Pedestrian.tv is where it's on. Okay. What are you? A Pisces. No one's a Pisces.

I thought that was a fake one. No, Vaughn's a fish. Okay. How to charm a Pisces. They have a deep need to feel needed. Yes, indeed, because you like being of use. Yeah, your attention's sick. So allow them to look after you.

Be completely open and honest with them. Tell them every drama you're not going on, from a tiff you've got going on, from a tiff with your boss to a difficult level on your video game that you can't unlock. You love a drama. This is literally tailored for this.

You love the guys. Other people's dramas. This person's involved in the drama. I want to watch drama. I don't want to have to partake. They will make it their mission to help you solve these problems and they will enjoy doing it. My problem solving is not great.

It's mostly telling people that your files will be left. Deeply romantic. Yeah. Deeply romantic. So partake in PDAs. Talk about what you want in a relationship. Take them on dates that'll leave them breathless. But just remain humble and as sweet as possible around them.

Jesus. Egotistical, that's what that is. Okay, so we're basically going to charm you. I'm going to be like, help. Help me. I'm just a little old lady. And I can't do nothing for myself. Okay, you're a Cancer.

Let's see if this works. How to charm a Cancer. Being one of the most sensitive signs of a Zodiac. Cancers only date people who are capable of handling their fragile heart with kid gloves. If you're afraid of deep and meaningfuls, then you've come to the wrong place. But if you are emotionally mature enough for this mission, then show your sensitive side from the very beginning. Are you sure of your birth date?

I am like, what do you call them? A cusp. I'm like a Gemini cancer cusp. They need to see that you're comfortable expressing and processing emotions, but you can't fake it. These intuitive creatures are almost psychic when it comes to being able to tell if someone is full of shit. Liars, fakes and hypocrites need not apply.

Yeah. Some of that. I'm intuitive. I'm very intuitive. But the super sensitive, deep and meaningful emotionally expressive side of it, I room for improvement. Okay, I'll do mine. Just as a little sort of cross-section. What's yours? I'm a Libra.

Okay. Hopeless romantics who love the dating game, so be ready to play. They absolutely froth the idea of casual dating. I know, and I stuffed it up. By getting hooked too early. And sometimes I'll start seeing someone with absolutely no intention of ever letting it get serious.

To keep them interested, you'll need to be able to match their flirty banter. You'll also need to be easy on the eyes. So try wearing aesthetically pleasing fits. You've got to be hot to date me. Yeah, that's fair. Send them sweet texts to let them know you're always thinking of them. Words of affirmation, that's spot on.

Invite them out for dates to give them an opportunity to dress cute because they love to dress up. That's you, isn't it? Lean into their materialism by giving them little gifts to make them feel like a rom-com protagonist. Now, that is spot on for me. Yeah. The gift giving I don't really care about,

but make me feel like a rom-com protagonist, absolutely. So if you're out there looking for a mate, a date, a lover, a husband, a wife, a friend. That's obviously spot on. It's spot on fit for you. So spot on. Maybe look up their horoscope and how best to charm them. Because it's

might help you. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day, you've got a choice. Would you like to hear about the band name origins of Fall Out Boy. Florence and the Machine or Linkin Park? Oh.

Florence, I'm a no. Why? Because Florence is already... Her name. Her name is Florence. But where did she get the machine from? Is that just her band? No, quickly, she's the tour with a girl called Izzy

and it was Izzy Machine and Florence Robot. It was Florence Robot and Izzy Machine and then when the band joined, they just became Florence and the Machine. Great, we don't need that one then. We don't need that one. Because I'm leaning towards Lincoln Park. I'm pushing you towards Fall Out Boy.

Okay. Fall Out Boy. Lead the way, sir. Can you give us a quick Lincoln Park then? Quick Lincoln Park. They had the name Platinum Lotus Foundation but it had been used by somebody else. That's terrible.

And then they had Lincoln Park as a play on Santa Monica's public park, Lincoln Park, named after Abraham Lincoln. They went to buy the domain name but couldn't afford it because there was too many letters, so they shortened it to Lincoln, which is barely shorter, and bought LincolnPark.com and then that was the way it was spelled. Spelled different too.

Okay, wow. Right. Well, Fall Out Boy. Today's fact of the day. Which I have never really questioned Why Fallout Boy Were called Fallout Boy I was just like Yeah that's Fallout Boy

The band Unnamed from Chicago Was playing a local concert And they got into the habit At the end of the gig Of asking the audience For suggestions for names Oh that's cool

It was on the second night Of a three Night gig That someone screamed Fallout Boy A reference To the Simpsons episode where Milhouse is cast as radioactive man sidekick Fallout Boy.

Oh, my God. I have no memory of that at all. The band chose the name and stuck with it. And they said, yeah, it was somebody yelled it out, said Fallout Boy, and then they later on found out that that was the Simpsons reference from the person that screamed it out. And that was how they got their name, and they've just used it ever since. And Fall Out Boy, Full Circle,

have eventually appeared on The Simpsons. I was going to say, haven't they been on? And they played a Fall Out Boy version of The Simpsons theme song at the end of the episode, Lisa the Drama Queen. Aw. I feel like if a band I was watching said, give a band name, I couldn't come up with anything.

Cool. Yeah. I would only, like, only, the easiest names are, like, death metal bands because they're always, like, the Traveller's Disciples or something. Yeah, yeah. But coming up with something kind of quirky and cute for a sort of a poppy punk band, I'd be like, lol dolls.

Lol dolls. Yeah, it'd be hard. It's hard enough naming a kid. Well, we've just scored a three for one there that you gave us Linkin Park, Florence the Machine, and Fallout Boy. So today's fact of the day is Fallout Boy, the band, is named after Fallout Boy,

the character from the Simpsons episode where Milhouse is cast as Fallout Boy in the Radioactive Man movie. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. This is a story all about how two neighbours became best friends.

Now, they started off as absolute nightmare neighbours, neighbours from hell level stuff. So a woman moved in and they were in like an apartment, like townhouse kind of set up. The woman moved in, she's got loud, rambunctious kids. She moves in. At 11 p.m., she puts the washing load on. Oh, no.

So you're hearing the washing machine when it's spinning, like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Absolutely. And she was like, I was just trying to get ahead for the day. This is told from her perspective, the washing machine person. They shared a wall. They shared a roof ceiling. Oh, okay. So I guess it would be more apartment than townhouse.

Yeah. Apartments. And she put on, this is, she lived above and she put on the washing machine. Not only did she put on the washing machine at 11 o'clock very loud,

it broke and dripped through the floor onto her thingy, right? Yeah. So then this neighbour sends her husband upstairs to be like, what the hell's going on?

It's raining in our house. Yeah. He's like, okay, I'll help you fix it, handyman. Sounds like the beginning of a pornography, but it's not, I promise you. He, to help... You have been reading far too many horny novels. I'm on at any given

moment. Yeah, I know. He ends up coming back down to his wife after fixing this with no shirt on. And the wife's like, excuse me? You're wet, you've got no shirt on, I don't like this, you've been some stranger's thing. The next day, the woman who put the washing machine on bumps into the woman and the woman's, and she's like, excuse me, you're wet, you've got no shirt on, I don't like this, you've been some stranger's thing. The next day, the woman who put the washing machine on bumps into the woman and she's like, oh, hi, I just moved in.

She's like, yes, I know. And that just sets them off for years of not being good neighbours. They're fighting, arguing, complaining all this time. Until one day, the neighbour who lived in the downstairs, whose husband came home shirtless got into trouble at work and couldn't pick up her kids and the woman

who lived upstairs ended up helping her with her kids because they went to the same school and was like I'll pick up the kids I'll do this and then she was like oh thank you feeling a bit sheepish for having been mean to her cut to 14 years they ended up living above and below each other. And they are the bestest of friends. Like they have just become absolute friends, all bound by their children.

So it was that moment of, one moment of kindness? One moment of kindness that reversed, I think you've slept with my husband. The woman upstairs never seemed the bad guy here. Well, she did put on a washing load at 11 o'clock. Yeah, you're going to put on your washing load. You're going to put on your washing load. She didn't mean for it to leak. No, I know, but there is a thing in women where once we decide we don't like someone,

it's kind of hard. It's hard to switch it. If you ever reach the honoured ranks of being my enemy or arch nemesis, you'll never, ever, ever be anything else. Really? Because you're too stubborn. You bet. Once you decide something, that's it. I'm locked in. Once I decide on a quick

judgement call on someone, I'm locked in on that for life. Yes, I've noticed. Anyway, they might then share their story online basically going like sometimes your best friend could be sitting right in front of you in the shape of your enemy. I wondered if this has ever happened to you. I thought as soon as I saw this story

this would be a great phone-in topic No you didn't, I saw this story and I said this is a great phone-in topic and I said I saw it and I knew this was going to be a great phoner and then you're just sweeping in here and you're coming

very close to becoming my enemy going the other way from friends to enemies It is fascinating though. Like what is that thing that turned it around? Maybe it's like a later stage in life. Like maybe you grew up hating someone or the school bully or something like that. And then you meet later in life and you're like, man, we're different people.

We're kicking, hitting it off. Yeah. And now we're besties. Okay. Let's take some calls. 0800 dials at M is the number. Call now. You can we're besties. Okay, let's take some calls. 0800 DALES.M is the number. Call now. You can text through 9696.

Did you become besties with your former enemy? Because it happens the other way around a lot. Like besties become enemies. Yeah, fall out. But when did your enemy become your bestie? This is good. This is good from me. Give us a call.

We want to know when you've gone from enemies to besties. Yes. Because it happens the other way around so much, but when did you forgive someone or move past something? I know. Bury the hatchet. Or just discover a new side of them that you can't deny. Well, Louise, this has happened to you.

Yeah, yeah. My intermediate bully, she was about to cry all the time. Aw. She was bullying me about, but it was horrible. Intermediate was pretty horrible, all the time. I don't know what she was bullying me about, but it was horrible. Intermediate was pretty horrible though. Yeah, wasn't she? Yeah, and then she was my bridesmaid in 2015.

Oh my god, wow. Goodness me. How did that turn around? Like, I think over time we just kind of became better friends. Like, we just kind of became better friends We kind of had the same friends And then, yeah, I don't know

We just kind of started being nice to each other Why was she bullying you? Was she jealous of something you had or insecurities? We had a lot of chats about that I think because she had probably been bullied by other girls I don't know if you remember Marlon's Intermediate Board But it was like, especially for girls, pretty toxic. Do you know this?

I did not know this about. I did not know this about. What year did you go to Moronsville Intermediate? Probably 2002. Oh, yeah, me too. Oh, that's when I was at Intermediate. It was a lot. She's my age, not your age.

Were you bullied at Moronsningsville Vaughan? You were called a wrangler and a little bit of a wrangler, weren't you? I wasn't a wrangler. No, he was a bit like... I was a bit stout. I was a bit chubby.

He was a bit like doop-de-doop, you know. Yeah. Yeah, I was a bit of a fish out of water then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I'd gone to a country school and then you go to the...

But look at you now, you've had an absolute glow-up. Pardon me? You've had an absolute glow-up. Yeah. Louise, thank you so much for sharing. I'm sorry you were bullied. Yeah.

Nicole, when did you go from enemies to besties? Well, we were working together. I won't name the company. And I was sitting on the desk working in the office, and he was out on the run, and he says to me, oh, why don't you give me a call one day? And I'm like, okay, this is really weird because I don't like him. And we ended up talking.

He rang me and we were talking ever since, you know, for ages. And then we fell in love and got engaged. Wait, so the previous to this, he was bullying you at work? He was real smart and arrogant towards me and he thought he was funny. Oh, yeah. He just didn't know how to flirt. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. It was flirting all along, right, but he was really bad at it. Wow. So you're a five-year-old, and you're pulling the hair of the girl that you think is cute. Yeah. It turned out. Yeah, we did. It turned out that everyone had told him bad things about me, and he wanted to find out

for himself, so he did. Oh, God, how bizarre. Wow. So we're from, like, workplace, like workplace douche or nemesis to like engaged. Amazing. What did you say? You said something. Didn't we have a prime minister once that did that?

Oh, yoink, yoink. The ponytails. A little doink, doink. Talking about when your enemies became your friends. Yeah. When, you know, there might have been turbulence, but something brought you together. Yeah.

The beef has been seared. My bestie and I hated each other all through high school. A mutual friend turned us against each other. One day we were forced to talk to each other because no one else had arrived at a party yet. Nearly 20 years later, we were each other's bridesmaids and we are current ride or dies. I love that. That is nice.

Don't believe what people say sometimes. There's been a common theme of this, like people believing stories about people. Isn't it toxic, eh? Mind your own business. My friend hated this guy at work for two years. They were enemies for sure. So the chiefs of staff sat them down and told them they need to

get on. We all went to their wedding last weekend. Oh, that's nice. The chief of staff sat them down and told them they need to get on. We all went to their wedding last weekend. Oh, that's nice. The chief of staff. They took that literally, didn't they? Bang your heads together. I will tie you together. Handcuff you together. Sounds like one of Hayley's novels. Can we wrap this up?

I want to go home and read a book. Aaron's been away for a couple of days. Need to get a couple of chapters in before he comes home. A couple of days. Need to get a couple of chapters in before he comes home. A couple of chapters. I was very new to a job that was high stress and one of the chicks was the ultimate B. Always so mean to me to the point where I quit. The boss called us in together.

I told her how I felt. Found out she was shit stirring. Sorry, the boss was shit stirring. What? Pooh. Again, shit stirring. Now she's one of my besties. Was a bridesmaid at my wedding. Auntie to my kids. sorry the boss was shit stirring right oh poo again shit stirring now she's one of my besties

was a bridesmaid at my wedding auntie to my kids oh um someone said that's funny you said about

teasing someone because they were a wrangler at Morrinsville Intermediate they said I got bullied for being a wrangler at Morrinsville so thanks for that flip

you've opened up an old wound there for somebody listening to the show we didn't open just a chat room just for Morrinsville no I was referring

to a historical we need to open the Morrinsville wrangler line. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The historical references. And see, it was a thing. Yeah. I knew it was.

Yeah. It's horrible. I disliked a girl that my bestie hated. I personally had nothing against her, but my bestie hated her. And you know, you've got to stick with your girl. You never met her. Ended up working together years later. She's one of the nicest people I know.

There you go. Very good friend. Hey, before we wrap up the show, I just want to send some love down to Christchurch for our marching community. Beautiful Jade Kenny, who I marched with in Lough Ealing Storm. She marched for the Pioneers of Canterbury, everyone at Clips.

44 years old, she died last week. Awful. And yeah, that's your age, my friend. Her funeral today, I know a lot of sad marching girls out there, so salute. And yeah. Get yourself checked. Friday Jam for...

Friday Jams. Friday Jams? Friday Jams. No, you used to get yourself checked for, like, what are you... Bowels. Oh, right, okay. Oh, yeah, tangle with the bowels. Skin, bowels, everything.

Just get it all checked. Oh, I just realised I did the whole show with my headphones on backwards. Well, that means the show's backwards then, isn't it? We're going to have to play this in reverse. Well, should we speak in reverse and hopefully they'll work out the other way? Serendipity. Give us a review.
