Gosh, I hope Bryn's had a good weekend. Same, I hope it more than anything. Yeah, deserves it. Did you have a good weekend?

I did have a good weekend. You had a good weekend, a boys weekend. Did you have a good weekend? Yeah, I had a good weekend. You had a good weekend? You woke a boys weekend. Did you have a good weekend? Yeah, I had a good weekend. You had a good weekend? You woke up at 4.30 on Sunday morning. That's not fair. 4 o'clock on Sunday morning, that's disgusting behaviour.

Yeah, look, it's just my body clock, isn't it? You poor bugger. Yeah. Your body clock's all out. I made the most of the day, though. You want to try slamming a bag of those teagull chicken things before bed? That'll help you sleep through the night. Oh, wow.

That was our boys weekend food of choice. When the pandemic was on, those things were like hard to find and there was like only one tiny shelf where they'd sit. And now the supermarket freezers are 50% tegel takeouts. They rule.

I've never tried it. Oh my God, it's so good. Oh, it wouldn't be good for you if you're on your keto bars because it's got the crumbed outside. We went out for dinner. Well, I'm going to talk about this later, but we went out for dinner and, man, it was a struggle. Just the meat, please.

Just give up. Just the meat, please, and some beans. Yeah. Give up and have fun with the rest of us. Well, yesterday I spent the whole day. Yeah. I'm having fun. I'm having fun.

You turn your nose up at treats all the time. Yesterday I spent my day trying to organise all my vacuum-packed clothing. Oh, my God, I love vacuum-packing. One third of my clothes fit. This is the only reason I'm doing it is because it's just cheaper. Yeah, cheaper than buying new clothes. Cheaper than buying a new wardrobe. Got an expensive wardrobe?

Yep. Well, I'll be eating my birthday cake on Friday. Wink, wink. You'll be lucky. You've been a naughty boy. You've had your mother and I put your presents away. What? They've been too naughty.

How dare you? I get to meet your parents on Friday. On Saturday? Yeah. Good fun. I hope they like me. I really want to impress them. Has Bev got the winter roses? Because Bev's got such a good rose garden. I've heard. It hope they like me. I really want to impress them. Has Bev got the winter roses?

Because Bev's got such a good rose garden. I've heard. It just goes year round. But she's probably given them. Yeah, she must have some winter roses out. I'll talk to her. I'll talk to her. I'd love to pop around and see that.

She'll show you around the garden. She'll show you around the garden. Lovely roses. Lovely roses. You've never seen so many roses. Coming up on the show, the top six. Yes. Apparently, when cyclists put on helmets, motorists don't see them as humans anymore.

This is wild. This is insane. Yeah, this is insane behavior. A study out of Australia. Whereas if they see someone without a helmet, they're like, oh, that's a human. I better be careful. Isn't that nuts?

Not, oh, there's a human, but they're wearing a little bit of polystyrene and some plastic. I can drive like an asshole around them. As someone that dabbles in cycling, much like you dabble with things. Yeah. And I dabble with witchcraft.

You dabble in witchcraft. You also dabble in the witchcraft. Yeah, which leads me to dabbling in those other things. Yeah, it's quite scary to know that. Yeah, it's insane behaviour is what it is. It's insane behaviour. I bought a bike a few years ago and I came off it and people just like drive by.

Yeah. I've just fallen off my bike on the road. Was this in Auckland or Wellington? Auckland. Yeah. They love just being like, oh no. Well, Wellington, they'll shuffle whole streets around for you. Yeah. Right. Yeah, because you fell off your scooter once and people just drove around. One person beeped at me and was like, get out of the way.

I was like, I'm on the ground, my dudes. But yeah, the top six ways to make cyclists more human coming up. Next on the show with everybody seemingly taking off to Europe for the cold New Zealand winter months, a flight attendant who flies a lot has come up with the three rudest things that passengers do. Pinch them on the bum. That is one of them. Touching. Touching. Oh my

gosh. Can you believe it? We'll go through the list next. Don't touch. As well, a flight attendant has come up Or I guess this must be on TikTok Has said Look these are the things

That annoy me when I'm flying Oh yeah These are the three things People should stop doing Is this Wait Oh my brother-in-law Was saying on his flight

Because he works On either side of the Tasman He said he Sees a lot of rude behaviour On planes But on the flight Over to New Zealand On Friday People As soon as the food trolley Came out he said he sees a lot of rude behaviour on planes, but on the flight over to New Zealand on Friday,

people, as soon as the food trolley came out, he said he was like eight aisles back. They started clicking and being like, man, man. What? Man, man. Not like, excuse me, sir or man. It was man, M-A-N, man, man. But what were they wanting?

They wanted their food. Oh, my God. You wait, you wait. I know, but they didn't want it. Oh, my God. Man. I'm hungry. Man know, but they didn't want to. Oh, my God. Man. I'm hungry. Man.

And then they said, oh, we'll get to you. And he's like, throw us a Coke. Man, throw us a Coke. They're like, no, this is a food trolley. Where's the drinks? Are you drunk? And was like clicking the whole time. And he was just like, oh, my God.

Was he coming from the Goldie? Because that's something I'd expect on the Goldie. That feels Goldie. On the Goldie route, you know? Touching the flight attendant is number one on the list. She says so many people touch a flight, they get prodded, they get poked, pinched. Pinched?

Tapped? Oh my God, don't tap me. What's worst out of all of those? A poke, a prod, a pinch or a tap? A pinch. A pinch is worse. Excuse me. Like, oh, excuse me.

If you need to get past and they don't know you're there, excuse me. But if you were like, boop, I'm behind you. Pinch on the back of your arm. What did you pinch me for? That's getting a bit of fat, eh?

Yeah. Like, don't pinch me. Excuse me. That's disgusting. There is no need to shout or act entitled. This is the other, number two on the list.

People that act entitled, like you say, like the oi. Man. Chuck me a Coke, man. Like you're here to serve me. Yeah, yeah. Jeez Louise. Next on the list, using the call button is the most annoying thing. Yeah.

But then why put it in? Why put it in? Yeah, like exactly, right? Like just don't put it in. You gave me too much fizzy for the amount of spirits you've given me, so I'm going to need another spirits. Yeah. You know when they get

the little spirits and then you get a whole can of coke or something and you're like, well more spirit please. Give me two bottles of spirits. I'm not just going to drink this coke on my own. Man, man, man. I've never travelled where they used to give you the little bottle. No, never.

To the best of my memory. I've never. It's always been glug, glug, glug, glug, glug. Oh, my God. No, it's the bed. Like they pour you a shot and then give you a can. Yeah, yeah, not give you a Coke and a little bottle. But there are some you're like, is it?

Yeah. Last time I went to Edinburgh, I definitely had it. What airline did you fly? I cannot remember. And they've got the little ones and they just give them to you. Because it seems wasteful to have like lots of miniature bottles of liquor. Yeah, totally. It's very wasteful, but it's a lot of fun.

They'll give you like three or something and you've got to make friends with them. Yeah, and you imagine you're a giant with a little tiny bottle. Yeah, ah! Here I go again! Giant on a rampage! But yeah, she's saying that using the call button, it could be anything from needing another Coke for your burbs

or a medical emergency. Or that thing, you know, at the start of a... If you're having a medical emergency, her advice is shut up. Deal with it yourself. Well, it should be used for something like a medical emergency, not, hello, I just need another water. I need more bourbon for my Coke. I need more burbs.

Yeah, exactly. So there you go. The three most annoying things that flight attendants hate. Don't pinch, poke, prod and click. Yeah. My friend just became a flight attendant and I was like, why?

It feels like hard. Yeah. You know, and I'm all about that easy life. What would you even compare it to on the ground? You're almost a nurse. Cafe worker.

No, it's worse than a cafe worker. It is worse. Because you can't hide out there. Well, you can kind of hide out there but they'll come and. It is worse. Because you can't hide out the, well, you can kind of hide out the back, but they'll come and find you. Yeah. And you can only serve so many people at a time in a cafe. On an airline, hundreds of people confined to a seat.

It's like, granted, being a nurse, there's more medical stuff to learn, but it's on par with being a nurse. Like, you are at the beck and call. Yeah. And if something goes wrong, you kind of run away from this customer or kick them out. They're in the sky.

Yeah, and you might have to clean up some shit. You might have to clean up some shit. Very much like a nurse. So am I the baby. Some wheeze on the floor. That toilet floor is always pretty damp by the end of the... Yeah.

Absolutely saturated. End of the long haul. Who's having sex in there? 13 past 6 13 past 6 Next on the show The most popular Podcast genre It will not surprise you

But I will tell you What it is Is this what I smash? Yes Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn

And Hayley Oh these podcasts They are popular Aren't they? People are listening To these podcasts Yeah I've got a couple Well

Podcasts most popular. This is definitely you. Most popular genre, true crime. Yeah. Yeah. That was the first ever podcast I got into. The serial podcast. The serial was a true crime podcast.

True crime. I just went on my podcasts. Yeah. Every single one is true crime other than one, Science Versus, which is, you know. Right. And of course, the Fletch, Fawn and Hayley podcast. I don't follow that. I'm here every day.

Why would I want to listen to that? I literally lived it. I don't listen to that at all. I don't listen to sex.life and I don't listen to FBS. Because you were there for the recording. I was there. It doesn't support the show. What am I going to learn? What don't listen to sex.life and I don't listen to FBS. Because you were there for the recording. I was there. It doesn't support the show. What am I going to learn?

What am I going to learn? I just listen to it and I fast forward through it. That counts as a listener. I'm jacking some stats. I think so. Through our podcast. Yeah. Like if we just go all of us start making one syllable noises. That's what it sounds like to listen to our podcast.

15 seconds on the trot. It's quite entertaining. It does sound very interesting. True crime. We love it. Yeah. There has been a lot of, well, there's been some, I guess, people that have come out against the amount of true crime.

Glorifying. Yeah, it's glorifying crime. It's all about the way you do it. Like, I've stopped with the kind of glorifying true crime, which is like, yeah. Is it my favorite murder? And they're quite like, hee hee ha ha about murders. And somebody listened and they're like, oh, that was my mum that you were talking about there. And the fact that you just took it so casually, like, I lost a mother.

Yeah. We lost us. People lost a sister and a it so casually, like, I lost a mother. Yeah. We lost a, people lost a sister and a daughter. Like, there are victims in all of these podcasts. Yeah. The last ones I've listened to are either by, like, The Australian or The Guardian, and they're more, like, investigative. Yeah. You know, like, what's happened.

I listened to a horrendous one from Nine News about a woman and her kids being murdered. But it was all about, like, how to avoid that happening again. Now I'm listening to one that is not so murdery. It's called Scamander, and it's about a woman who said she had cancer and fundraised all this money from the church. People do this all the time. And she didn't have cancer.

No siree. But the level to which she took it was insane. The picture she painted. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, that's a goodie. Because I like the crime podcast where it's either unsolved or it's happening in the world at the moment.

In the moment. And then, like, people are just getting charged. I prefer my murders solved. You like them solved? Yeah, they call me old-fashioned. I like my murders solved. You like them solved? Yeah, they call me old-fashioned. I like my murders solved. Not just open to podcast investigators. When I told, I think we talked about podcasts not so long ago,

and then one of our listeners recommended one called Root of Evil, which was about the Black Dahlia murders. The what? The Black Dahlia murder. I don't know those murders. Oh, it's a girl was murdered and she was cut in half. Jesus, okay. Wait.

Was it a magician? No, it wasn't a magician. But it was unsolved. But they think they know who did it. Well, it was a magician. And the podcast is hosted by the grandchildren, the great-grandchildren of that suspect. Oh, okay.

So this happened in 1947. Yeah. They, like, drained her blood. Oh, yeah. They this happened in 1947. Yeah. They like drained her blood. Oh, yeah. They were like a joke. I don't know. What? I was running for that.

But then they have the suspect that was, like, died. Yeah. And then these people were the podcast presenters, two of them, girls, are the great grandchild. Wow. Of this family. And it talks about their family history more than the murders. God, you love it. Just eat it up.

Lap it up. Does it make going to bed at night or having a dark house... It makes going for a walk scary. When I go for a walk and maybe the sun's gone down, it makes you walk a little bit faster, though, good for cardio. Yeah, you burn a lot more. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This burned a lot more. Play ZM's Fletchford and Haley. Blah, blah, blah.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. A study has been done. Good morning. A study has been done into cyclists and why people don't like them and apparently consider them, and aspects of the cyclists that make people consider them less human. Isn't that?

So you can have, in this study, you can have a helmet, you could have a high-vis jacket on, like a yellow or orange vest or a jacket. They're the same photos, but yeah, there's one's holding, one's got a helmet on and one doesn't. Which one's less human? And they click on the helmet. Which one's less human, high-vis versus not high-vis? They click high-vis.

Why is that? Whenever I see anyone on a bike without a helmet, I think, you damn fool. Yeah, you bloody idiot. Yeah. You're going to come off that thing. You're going to be in a world of trouble. So this study, did they give an option of that's still a human? No, it was like which is more or less human.

Right. So anytime there was cycling safety gear, they is more or less human. Right. So anytime there was cycling safety gear, they were selected as less human. Also, female bike riders reported receiving less abuse. One saying that's why she always has her ponytail showing out the back of her helmet. Because otherwise, if someone thought she said, if people think I'm a male,

I may be treated as poorly as some of my male friends who have had things thrown at them. Oh, wow. I'm going to get a ponytail and glue it to my cycle helmet. I will donate my ponytail to you. Thank you. Thank you. Actually, I've got some old extensions.

He could just go to Look Sharp and pick up a flag. No, because they'll know that's fake. No, I've got some quality hair extensions. Now my hair's a different colour. You can use that. So you can pop that on the back of the helmet. Yeah. But yeah, so that made them...

It's good that they're nicer to women. Be nicer to them. How bizarre. People hate cyclists, don't they? Someone pulled the fingers at me yesterday when I was driving. I wasn't even in the fast lane. I was in the middle lane. Of course.

Now, when he went around me, he pulled the fingers at me. Because you drive so slow. And I was like, huh? So I waved. And banged him more. And he pulled the fingers again. I was like, imagine if I was having a bad day. And I was like, well, that's having a bad day and I was like, well, that's that.

I've got to kill this guy. And then I like pulled up alongside him and threw like a crowbar at his car. Like imagine doing that to a cyclist. A cyclist has had a terrible day

going through God knows what and you're like, baby, get off the road you asshole. And then he just pulls up alongside, rips out his pump and just starts beating

the shit out of your car. People never think about what everybody else is going through. It's the human condition. I'm going to pull the fingers at this guy. Well, now that guy's

got an axe. Also, they've got as much right to be on the road. It hells is. God, it racks them up when you wave back, though. I do it too.

If anyone pulls the fingers, I'm always like, thank you. Bye. I know. It gets them so wound up. Racks them. And then he screamed

past just to take the next off ramp and get stuck in a line of traffic yeah like what are you rushing for the next set of lights okay dickhead

but anyway cyclists get a lot worse and they don't have a car you know if you bang into them that's it well apparently the problem being

that we don't see them as humans when they're on their bikes so I've got the top 6 ways to make cyclists more human number 6 on the list big googly eyes

on the back of their helmet. Because you know how there's like owls or certain birds that look like, or animals that look like they've got eyes in the back of their head. Everyone's like, well, yeah, those are eyes, so that's more human. So big eyes on the back of the helmet. Okay, good idea. That could work. That could work.

Eyelashes and everything. Yeah, the whole shebang. Like how cars had eyelashes. Yes. Some eyebrows. Maybe just a whole face back there. Oh my god, you should get car eyelashes for the chimney. It's a

very masculine. It's a very masculine, compact, fun, four-wheel drive. It's not. Number five on the list of the top six ways to make cyclists more human. From behind, you can't see their arms. So they should get those fake arms on their backs.

You know the ones that you slam in the boot to make it look like you've kidnapped somebody? Oh, yeah, funny. Yeah, good idea. There are fake arms on the back. So you can see their arms. Very human to have arms, isn't it? Just under the seat, you could attach them under the seat. Yeah.

And they could wobble and wave. Or come out the back of your hivers, like have holes. Yeah, so it looks like you're cycling with no hands. You could have them tied to holding their hands behind their back. Very human to have holes. Yeah, so it looks like you're cycling with no hands. You could have them tied to holding their hands behind their back. Very human to have arms. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six ways to make cyclists seem more human. Nothing is more human than screaming,

so maybe every cyclist should have a loudspeaker that screams when cars go past. Yes. Like they're getting a fright. Yeah. And so the car's like, that is a human, not a cycling robot or whatever people assume them to be. Number three on the list

of the top six ways to make cyclists appear more human, strap a baby to their back. Very human to have a baby on your back. Yeah. And then people might be like, oh, there's a baby and then you can have a little side

that says baby on board. I always see like some parents cycling with their babies and those bikes that have the seats. The seats on the bar? Yeah.

Those are terrifying. I'm just like, if you crash into anything, your baby hits that baby. The whole time when you'd be like, are you there?

Are you still there? Are you talking about the toey? The toey. The toey. Those are terrifying as well for a baby. Around the park,

fine, but not on a road. Busy ride. Freaks me out. Not because I think, you know, it's just other drivers that don't see. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six ways to make cyclists seem more human.

Every cyclist should have a dog running beside them. People love dogs. Oh, they do. People love dogs. People don't want to hit dogs either. No, they won't want to hit dogs. No. Don't want to hit dogs.

And number one on the list of the top six ways to make cyclists seem more human. A new bike that you ride backwards so the cars coming from behind you can see your face. See your cycling. I sort of get all like, back. Or just ride on the wrong side of the road. Yeah, that'll scare them. Come towards them. That'll put the shit on them.

Because when you're running, when you go for a run in rural, you always run towards the cars. So they can see you and you can see them, right? Yeah. You should check them on their tires. Get them on their tires. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vordernaley. Play ZM.

We went out for brunch after the show. I just wanted to stand up. I muted my microphone to stand up and change the angle. If I hadn't, it would have sounded like this. But it sounded like this. Because I muted it to stand up and change the angle if i hadn't it would have sounded like this but it sounded like this because i muted it to stand up there was a momentary pause in the program professional as a broadcasting professional casting profession i wanted to stand up because this is a story that needs to be delivered standing up for brunch and we went um we it was a work brunch so everybody on the show went and we met some people that we worked with who one of which is

leaving their job and that was kind of like the purpose of the brunch. And they were paying. They were paying, so you go, how'd I out? You know that, and you look at the menu and you're like, I wouldn't normally get that, but I'm not paying. I had four sides. Hot chocolates and all sorts of business. So a few people at the table ordered the French toast.

Not me. Can't do sweet, that sweetest stuff for breakfast. It'll ruin my day. There's nothing else. If I have French toast or like super insane pancakes for breakfast, my days are right off. Their insulin levels spike. It feels like a good idea.

She has a crash. Yeah, she crashes later in the day. She's a mess. Somehow the CineScrolls don't do that to me when we go out as a trio. The perfect amount of butter. Yeah. So the French toast arrived and this old woman. Almost immediately as well.

As soon as the plate goes. Oh, good sound effects. Really good. On the table, this woman, we have no idea who she is. She's sitting at the table right next to us. She's coming for a takeaway coffee. But she's up high. Yeah, so she's peering down over the table.

I hope you're off to the gym after that. Because she said it like with a smile on her face. Oh, how indulgent. You just... Also, it's Friday. A, it's Friday. B, you don't know what someone's going through. Yeah.

C, you don't know someone's history with eating disorders. Do you think it was because this French toast was so posh and bougie? It had a scoop of ice cream on it. It had a scoop of ice cream on it. I think that's what really got her going. Yeah. It was so interesting. And nobody knew what to say when she said it.

No one replied, did they? Well, one of our party was like, no, but these guys are going. Yeah. Someone else bit their tongue. And then when she left was like, I just only bit my tongue because you guys were here. What a strange. Don't do that. Don't do that.

Yeah. I mean, I don't think she was meaning it. No, she definitely... It was no ill... But then that's the thing. It's not like... It doesn't matter what your intent is. There's just some things you don't say to you.

Especially, like, one of the people that had it was, like, a young female who then was like... Picked away at half of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Vaughan finished it. Yeah, because she looked like one of those, like, rich kind of Remu-era Ponsonby housewives. She did, yeah.

That's gone through her whole life eating, you know, like nothing for breakfast. Well, no, I had three almonds. Yeah, and then like a peanut for lunch. And then tannis. And then tannis. And then maybe a protein shake for dinner. And then I'll burn it off with a walk around the room.

But then I will drink three bottles of wine a night. The alcohol is not real calories. And then hoon a bag of chicken nugs late at night. Yes. One of those sorts. Also, I had a big brekkie and an iced coffee, and then I didn't go to the gym. We went shopping with the girlies.

And then I didn't go to the gym at all. When we were walking back after you left, Fletch, we got to the intersection, they're like, we're just going to go down here. I was like, no, we don't need to go shopping. Do we need to go shopping? We're having a little look. Yeah.

The girlies bought, Shannon and Carween bought things and I didn't. Right, and you didn't go to the gym. And I didn't go to the gym. Interesting, we were meant to meet at the gym later that day. Yeah, no, but then I had to drop off my car. Yeah, right. And then the hotel was open. What about this week? Are we back into the gym this that day. Yeah, no, but then I had to drop off my car. Yeah, right. And then the hotel was open.

What about this week? Are we back into the gym this week? I am, but you go so late and I live so far away. I just want to go straight off to work. Already the excuses are starting. I'm going. I'm just easing back in softly. Right, okay.

ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. You think Billie Eilish is happier than ever? Do you know who's even happier? Craig David Oh, Greg, yeah I need a Craig David song now. I need a Craig David song. Which one?

What's my favourite? I don't know. Probably just... Seven Days? Seven Days. Yeah. Oh, he's got lots of songs. I know. Fill Me, I reckon, Search by Craig David. Seven Days? Seven Days, yeah. Oh, he's got lots of songs. I know, Fill Me In.

Got something to say. Hey, yeah. Hey, yeah. This is about. Got something to say. Hey. Hey. This is about him making love to someone's daughter. Why, Big Ben? Hey. Yeah, he's singing it to the parents. The parents are saying, like, why are you creeping around, man?

So he's filling them in on what's been happening. Yeah, he's the voice of the parents. And then Craig David's the one. Oh, okay. With the daughter in the spa pool. Yeah, okay. With the daughter and the spa pool. Yeah, right. Oh, there's a spa pool. Not in a spa pool.

She said, hey. Not in a spa pool. Come on, ride around. Yeah, he did it in a spa pool. You've got to respect the pH balance. You've got to respect the filtration system of the hair. He's not respecting these parents, their daughter, or the spa pool. Or the pH balance.

Anyway, Craig David, he has been on Louis Theroux's new podcast. Theroux. It's Theroux. No, it's Theroux. It's Louis Theroux. Louis Theroux. It's like literally Louis Theroux. It's like Justin Theroux.

He says Louis Theroux. No, he doesn't. Maybe I've gone, maybe I'm a bit drunk. No, it's Louis Theroux. Yeah, it's Louis Theroux. Like literally Louis Theroux. I don't know. Can you find any kind of documentary

where it's like, hello, I'm Louis Theroux. Louis Theroux. It is Theroux. I beg your pardon. Theroux. Theroux. I got drunk. I got drunk. You just said it is Theroux. No, it's Theroux. Thank you. Oh no, it's Theroux. If you look at it phonetically on the thingy,

I know it. I'm a huge Louis Theroux fan. It's Theroux. It's Louis Theroux. He's like the British David Farrier. I know exactly who he is. I'm a massive fan. It's Theroux. I love it when he does the Whisperer Baptist Church.

Oh, yeah, that's great. Louis Theroux and the Whisperer Baptist Church. Well, anyway, Craig David. Anyway, Craig David's on this podcast, and then we're talking for some reason about relationships and stuff. Craig David's, notorious player. Almost as much of a player as Usher.

And he revealed that he's been celibate. Is that how you say it? Celibate? Yeah. I don't know anything about it. You might say celibate. Celibate. I'd probably say celibate.

You say words, right? Louis Theroux. Laugh, right? For over a year. He said that he's trying to correct his ways. His ways? He said that he's usually like into short-term flings. Right, okay.

Little fling-de-ling-dees. For all his fornicating. Yeah. Yeah, right. Set the sins. Yeah. Yeah, and he just went on a total dating detox, hasn't had sex a time for a year,

and he's feeling really grey. He's like, man, this is healing my issues. Okay. Yeah, no sexies. Is he engaging in self-punishment? Oh, yeah, yeah. He's not Josh Hartnett. God, I saw that that film, 40 Days and 49

That needs to be addressed, I think. If you're listening and that was you, do it today. That needs to be addressed. That's what he say on the podcast. That's your home play. That's your home play. That's your home play. Even if you don't, just be like, come on. Because once you're into it, you're like, yeah.

God, I've missed you. Someone else said, I haven't drunk alcohol for three years. Now, that's not what we see. Wrong dry spell. Wrong dry spell, but good for you. Wrong dry spell. Now, Marie says years and still going. I thought you were saying no names. Marie's a very common name. Oh, yeah. spell. Now, Marie says years and still going. I thought you were saying no names.

Marie's a very common name. Oh, yeah, who's Marie? Yeah. Years and still going. I feel like that's alcohol again. Yeah, yeah. Currently seven and a half years, no regrets. Now, are we thinking that people thought alcohol otherwise?

I think so. It might seal shut. Seven days, someone said wink wink. Six months, I crocheted a whole blanket in that time. Two years and we're happily married. Some people, it's just not a thing. It's just they're happy not to. Some people are not sexual beings.

Yeah, some people aren't as, you know, they're not as, nah. Everybody that I know, I'll tell you this. Everybody that I know has said that, they're divorced now. It's been like a year, but we're like, we're happily married. You're not, I don't think. We don't know. Someone's going through some stuff. Someone's going through some stuff.

Everybody that I know that has said that, it's been like a year but we just haven't found time. I've now either separated, divorced or in the process. Or somebody's sleeping with their personal trainer. Yeah, they're getting it elsewhere. There is a girly on TikTok. Her name is Macy Myers. A hundred. Yeah, they're getting it elsewhere. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. There is a girlie on TikTok.

Her name is Macy Myers. Great name. Great name. Straight out the box. It's alliteration, isn't it? Alliteration. That's a beautiful name. That's a celebrity name.

Yeah. She shares how she has upped her life by pretending like her life is a TV show. She said that she got the idea when all of her friends were leaving and getting jobs and like going off and having babies and she was like, oh my god, it feels like a season finale of a show.

Yeah. And it feels like everyone's leaving and I don't know where I'm going. And then someone said to her, no, no, no, it's just that the characters and the plots are changing now. You're in a new season. And she was like, whoa! Oh my god, seasons! So now she lives her life by the season. She's currently

in season five, which started in May 2023. Oh my gosh, she's having a psychotic breakdown. No. She feels, she says she knows, she gets a feeling when the season is due to end. In order to sort of script the new season, she gets a Pinterest board of how her main character, herself, is going to dress, the kind of

things she wants to achieve, holidays she wants to go on, like a new fashion sense, a new goal in life, and then she lives the season. Because sometimes shows do that mid-season cliffhanger, you know where they might take like a little five-week break? Summer break. The summer break in America? Yeah. So they have the mini cliffhanger.

Does she do those? That's generally in the final few seasons, though, where they need a bit more time to pad out the end. Get it done. You don't want to be reaching your final season. Well, it's like Shortland Street at the moment. They're going all crazy and it's like not even Christmas. It's like calm down.

What are you going to do at Christmas? What are you going to do at Christmas? Exactly. She even says that even when something bad happens, it helps her to go instead of sulking and being sad about it, she just reminds herself like this is great for the plot, great for the viewers. Like this is a great twist.

It can't all be positive and sunshine. This is the mindset. It's a mindset. If you're down to blow in life or you get a bad day. It's just a plot twist. It's a plot twist. I mean, I kind of get that. I sort of get it too.

It's kind of, yeah. But, I mean, you wouldn't want to spend too much time on this because you've still got to live life, right? Yeah, no, no, no. It doesn't put me in life. No, she is living life. She's just, it's just more. The way she deals with things not going to plan.

Yeah, okay. She's like, it's a plot twist. And to go like, you know, I want to like up my game. I want to dress different. I want to have different goals or different dreams. And she'll put little like holiday aspirations or I don't know, all sorts of things.

Fun experiences she wants to do in that season. She's the star, but she's also the producer, the showrunner, the writer. She should be on strike. The creator. She should be on strike at the moment. She should be on strike. She is.

She's just in bed. She's just in bed for the writers' strike. Season five's a dud. Solidarity. She's like, whenever she goes out now, she basically embodies this Carrie Bradshaw energy, like she's playing a part of a lead character of a show like Sex and the City. She walks down the street,

she's looking fly, she's put like thought into her outfits. I love that. She says now every time I leave the house, I'll get compliments from strangers without fail. The fake confidence that I've developed for this character has turned into real confidence. I love it. Wow. What would your TV show be?

It'd be boring as shit, I tell you what. Celebrity Rehab. For which? Truly. Celebrity Rehab. Next on the show, you were, I mean, talking about compliments, leaving the house and getting compliments. I know.

This was you on Friday. Well, in my season two. This is a new one. I'm in season compliments Leaving the house and getting compliments This was you on Friday Well in my season 2 I'm in season 2 at the moment I'm in my cute Carrie Bradshaw outfit today I'm in like season 33 Well in season 33 I exude confidence

I had a lovely weekend And while I was waiting for it to kick off, where did I go? Oh, yeah, I dropped off my car. Oh, RIP. She's poor now. She's driving a Mazda. She's back in the Mazda.

I'm back in the Mazda. And it's in such a state. And I didn't get around to cleaning it this weekend, so it just stinks. Was it hard to walk out of the Audi office? Yeah. Kind of like they'd broken up with you? Yeah, it felt like a breakup for sure.

Like, hey, it's been awesome and it's time to part ways. Did they say see you later, loser, when you left? Yeah. Smell you later. Well, especially because Aaron was coming to meet me because we had a little staycation, more on that later, tune in, so I didn't have a car, so then I just had to walk with all my bags down the road

and it was pissing with rain and I only had a leather jacket. So yeah. Wow, what a fall from grace. Real fall from grace. Also, I'd returned it empty like an a-hole. And I was like, oh, I'm so sorry. The fuel light just came on. They're like, no, it's fine.

But it wasn't fine. You derp bag. I know. It's like when you borrow your parents'. But it wasn't fine. You derp. I know. Because they gave you the full tan. It's like when you borrow your parents' car and you return that parents' car nearly empty. These aren't your parents. I know. I feel terrible.

This is renowned international car brand. I'll day. I'll day. I returned it empty. I feel terrible. I feel terrible. Do you? Anyway, I was walking in the rain, singing a sad song to myself.

Yeah. And Aaron was running a little bit late because he had a few things to organise to meet me. And I was like, well, I'll wait for you to check in, you know, so we can check in together. And I was like, well, how are we going to kill some time? And I was like, well, obviously I'll go have a little drinky poo. After lunch, by the way.

This is at least 12 o'clock. So I went to my favourite Japanese place and I thought I'll get some sake. Oh, okay. Because I love a bit of sake. I don't think I've ever had sake. Seriously. Is it like vodka?

Is it like vodka? Oh, I have it at least once a week. Oh, okay. It's like a soft spirit. Right. Yeah. Like a soju. Yeah, kind of.

Okay. I've had that. Oh, it's so yummy. Okay. So I went to my favourite place and I went in there and I was like, may I have, do you know the sake I like? And this is the worst thing about it is they've got this huge menu of sake, but the one that I like that has an English name and it's called Demon Juice.

And so every time I go, I have to ask for like, can I have a warm Demon Juice, please? And they're always like, yeah, okay. Anyway, and then as I was ordering, this older woman who just does the like, kind of potted around doing the, what is it called? She's the maitre d', I guess. Yeah, yeah.

She was like, are you 18? And I was like, yes, I'm actually 33. And she was like, literally aghast. Literally her jaw hit the floor. Wow. And she said to me, absolutely no way. And I said, yeah, I'm 33. She said, prove it.

And I got out my ID and I showed her my ID and she was like, I just don't believe it. She said, your skin is incredible. Wow. And I was like. That would have made your day. She was hitting on you. No, she wasn't. She was a lovely Japanese grandmother. She was hitting on you. No, she wasn't. She was a lovely Japanese grandmother.

She was hitting on you. She wasn't hitting on me. Why wouldn't she be hitting on you? Take the compliment. That she was hitting on you. That this Japanese grandmother... She would buy yourself... She was elderly.

...a midday drinking in a bar. At a Japanese restaurant. Yeah, 18-year-olds don't do that. 17-year-olds don't do that. Yeah, I was a grown-ass woman. I would like to take myself out for a drink when I want. Yeah. No, she wasn't hitting on me. She was just overwhelmed at the beauty of my skin.

I didn't think sake was keto. Yeah, it is. It's made of rice. It's dry. No, it's not. The rice is out of it. It's not like bits of rice. Rice has been very adjacent to it. It's rice adjacent. Don't worry, I checked.

Sake's delish. Anyway's rice adjacent. Don't worry, I checked. I checked. Sake's delish. Anyway, it really made my day. On Friday, you were talking heavily about cosmetic procedures. Yeah, I know, I know. I've got the number of two Botox people. And I'm just waiting to die. I don't know, I just want a little bit.

In the middle there. And then you're going to go back to this place for a warm demon juice Yeah And the elderly Japanese lady is going to say What have you done to yourself? What have you done? What have you done to your face? What do you mean? It's beautiful

Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley Play ZM Fletchford and Hayley Hayley. Play ZM. Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Silly little Paul. Silly little Paul. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little Paul. Silly little Paul. Silly little Paul. Silly little Paul.

Silly little Paul. Paul. Hey. Silly little Paul. Silly little Paul. If you're 18 plus Do you get annoyed if you get ID'd This is after old Porcelain skin over there

Especially in the winter Because my skin goes White as snow Don't expect to get ID'd in New Plymouth this weekend Why wouldn't they They let anyone have a little drink of poo. Oh, ID her. She's got all her teeth.

They must be baby teeth. Vaughn! They must be baby teeth. Vaughn, you are going to... And where are her kids? She's got to be under 18. She's got her teeth and she doesn't have kids

hanging off her tits. She's got to be... And they're up. Can you believe this? They're up. Vaughn, you will get... Now, you've got to realise you're coming to New Plymouth this weekend. We're all going for Hayley this? Yeah, they're up. They're up. Man, it speaks so poorly. You know, I've got family there. It's because my family, my mum's family left Taranaki. They were down there in South Taranaki and they moved to the Waikato. So there's this big, who's a better...

Rivalry. Yeah, there's a big rivalry. Quite similar sorts. God, I need to check the weather because if it's raining, there's not a lot to do. Oh, we better not be inclement. Inclement? Inclement. Inclement.

Inclement. Well, on the night ofment. Inclement. Inclement. Well, on the night of my show, we're going to the show. That's what we're doing. But during the day. Yeah, we've got a few showers Friday, Saturday. Maybe we're going to take a list of suggestions. We might need to go to Bola Rama. Yes!

I don't know Bola. Do they have a claw machine? Yes, of course they've got a claw machine. Guys, don't worry. Aaron's coming. Aaron will be so into this. Do they have four-player Mario? I don't know.

Will they link up the racing cars? Oh, maybe. Can the girls and the gays split off? And then the fellas can go to Bola-rama. That sounds great. I think some of the gays will want to go to Bola-rama. Did I just stereotype? Don't you dare say we can put the gutter bars out.

That's so bad. I feel like James will need those. I know, but that's not going to do with James' sexuality. That's just James isn't a bowling guy. It's his very limp wrists, okay? They've got strong wrists. You can't go and tar an entire sexuality. Either way, getting ID'd or not,

just make sure you've got your ID on you this weekend. I'm going to bring it. I am going to bring it. If you're over 18, do you get annoyed if you get ID'd? Yes or no? 23% of people said yes, but 77% of people said no. And why would you? It's a compliment.

Yeah, love it. John says, sometimes I don't need to ask, though. Like, you know, like sometimes it's a new person on the chat. Did you just refer to me when you said sometimes they don't need to ask? You are ushering towards them. I know they say if you're under 25, don't be offended, but come on. I will be offended. Do you look 17?

This is what I say. I may not look 33. Yeah. But I definitely don't look 17. You're not 17. Like, come on. Our family has a competition for the oldest to get ID'd, and my sister is currently 140 years old, and she gets ID'd.

Do you remember when my dad got ID'd at Pack and Save in his late 60s? Yeah, I'd be with my dad when he was getting ID'd. What are you doing? Burst into tears of laughter. Literally has burst capillaries. They just kind of ask. Yeah, and then they're like, oh, God, I didn't mean to ask. But then you can't say, I didn't mean to ask.

Obviously, look at you. That's insulting. Yeah. But they do, when you get that little look, hey, when they, like, boop, a bottle of wine, and then you see them just, like, glance up and be like, we're good. And that's insulting. Yeah, that's insulting.

Yeah, that's insulting. Paula says, I'm 37. I still get asked for ID. And then they say my age and apologise, to which I say, never apologise. I love it. Alana, I've gotten to an age where I'm annoyed if they don't ask for ID. Yes. When they stop asking, that is a little bit, that's hard to take.

I got ID today at age 33, says Daranee. Never said that name before. Daranee. I got ID today at age 33. I basically threw my idea at her and I said, sure thing, then came home. It was the first thing I told my husband, who was four months younger and never gets asked for ID.

Bowlerama has 4.5 stars and they've got laser tag. I'm not going to Bowlerama. Look at this. Look at that. Look how much fun that looks. Bowlerama. I'm not going to Bowlerama. Literally, your favourite bar is at a Temp and Bowling

Place. Yeah but I don't bowl. Yeah but there'll be a bar there. Will they have $30 bottles of wine?

Probably even cheaper. Alright. I'm hooked back in. I only get a note if I don't have any ID on me says Christy because then

you're like of course I'm old enough but you don't have the IDs. To prove it. And then if you don't have the ID they will not give

it to you. Benny said especially when I'm back in New Zealand, this countdown won't accept Australian driver's licenses. This happened to my brother-in-law when we were in Rotorua. We went to the thing and they wouldn't accept

his Australian driver's license as proof of his age. What are you supposed to do? He looks great for his age and he's a beautiful man. But he's not under 18. He's not under 25. And then they wouldn't let me buy it because they're like,

you can't buy alcohol for a minor. We had a real bloody blow up with them. I need my passport or I just give up. And Kelsey says it's just someone doing their job when they ask for ID. Yeah, well, because the fines for those people in charge are huge. So bad. Massive. And places can lose their licking licence.

I'm 28 now and I get sad that I hardly get ID'd anymore. I've mostly passed the point that I'm clearly over 25, says Alexandra. I'll send you my skincare routine. Sorry for you.

Sorry for your loss, Alexandra. Sorry for you. Sorry for your loss. Sorry for your youthful skin cell loss. Yes. Sorry for your collagen loss.

Yeah. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. If you watched the last season, not the current season, but the last season of the Kardashians, which I did, you will know that Kourtney Kardashian Barker

and Travis Barker have been desperately trying to have a baby. They've got lots of kids between them. How many, Vaughan? Seven. So he's got two of kids between them. How many, Vornie? Seven. So he's got two. No, he's got two, which is listed wrong because I Googled this. He's got two, a 19-year-old and a 17-year-old with his ex-wife,

and she's got three, a 13, a 10, and an 8. So five all up. Five. That's a lot. And then this will be the sixth. This is they're going to need it. I was going to say they'll need a minivan, but the teenagers would have already moved out. No, no. No, no, no. No, you cost a living. And then this will be the sixth. This is, they're going to need it. I was going to say they'll need a minivan,

but the teenagers would have already moved out. No, no. No, no, no. No, you cost a living. Oh, yeah, true. Yeah. Also, they'll just get limos, I guess. Yeah, limos. Well, she announced over the weekend that she is pregnant,

which is so, because they went all through IVF, and I know that was horrible. And then everyone kept on saying, like, are you pregnant? She was like, nope, just fat, because I'm injecting IVF, and I know that was horrible. And then everyone kept on saying, are you pregnant? She was like, nope, just fat, because I'm injecting myself with hormones every day. Leave me alone. Anyway, so she's pregnant, but the way she did it was Travis Barker was doing a Blink-182 concert,

and like a silly fan, she held up a sign that said, Travis, I'm pregnant. Everyone was like, ah! And so some people weren't happy with her. Some people also thought he already knew. I read that online. Knowing their relationship as intimately as I do because being a fan of the show

being a huge fan of the show it does surprise me that he wouldn't know because they literally, if they're not talking they're eating each other. You know what I mean? They're very full on. Really really full on. So I don't know. And was this for the show?

Would this just have been for the show? Yeah, probably. Because she was right there. There was a camera on her, so it was all set up. Yeah, probably. Yeah, let's be honest. I mean, it's great. It's great.

It's very smart. But people were like, they love that she did something fun like this because she's often seen as the more serious Kardashian, not always up for a good time. Yeah. And congratulations to them. She's 44. I know they're listening. She always up for a good time. Yeah. And congratulations to them. She's 44. She's what?

She's 44. Yeah. She is. I knew that. They're all in their 40s now. Other than the Jenners. Khloe is 38. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's the youngest one. Yeah, I know. And he's 47. Talk about radiant natural skin. Oh, absolutely. I'm doing my best here. It's the olive oil. You know the people of the Mediterranean.

It's oil of Olay. Yeah. It's a soap. It's that soap that Cleopatra used. Yeah, anyway. So I deep fry all my food in olive oil, but it's not working. No, yeah. There's a few components you've got wrong there.

Right, okay. I sometimes think this about, like, if I ever was pregnant, well, first I'd be like, no, no, no! Yeah. Because what would we do when we have an April Friday? I don't know, I'd just have to watch, I guess. Yeah. No, but I was always like, I can imagine those things being really fun,

like a fun way to tell your partner or your friends or something, especially if it's something you wanted. They tried so hard for this. Trying forever. To finally get it. It would be fun. So I thought we could take some calls

and hear some lovely stories of the fun way that you announced your pregnancy. How you told your partner. Yeah. So somebody's just messaged in and I've done a quick Google. She was recreating the All the Small Things video where someone in the crowd holds up a sign that says, Travis, I'm pregnant.

I forgot about that video. That's very clever. Yeah, so she was referencing that video. Wait, is she pregnant? Yes. Okay, good. I was like, if she's just doing that, then we'll ruin this whole thing. Oh, that's cute.

That makes it even cuter. So how did you tell your partner that you were pregnant? Yeah. How did you break the news? Was it a cute, something cute? A little surprise? Well, maybe it was a total fail. Have you seen the video of the girl who puts a pregnancy test in a box and he opens it up?

He's like, oh my God, why would you come over here? You've got COVID. He's like, oh my God, you know I'm seeing my mom next week. Why are you here? And she's like, what are you doing? He's like, don't come near me. She's like, oh my God, you know I'm seeing my mom next week. Why are you here? She's like, what are you doing? He's like, don't come near me. She's like, oh my God, I'm pregnant.

He's like, oh, I thought it was a COVID test. All right, give us a call. 0800 dials at him. You can text him as well. 9696. What is the fun way you announced your pregnancy

to your partner? Or your family and friends. Give us a call. We want to know the ways that you told your partner or your friends and family that you were pregnant. Yes.

We're getting some fun messages. Somebody on Instagram replied, because we asked there too. I don't. I announce the baby when it's born. Oh, yeah. How do you hide from your friends for like nine months? Maybe they don't have any friends. Like in real life friends.

Maybe they don't see people too often. Or they just go into a bit of hibernation They're the sort of person that would blow up If you asked them if they were pregnant And they weren't so nobody asks them Even though there's a big bowling ball Yeah and then they're like I thought so but I didn't want to I announced my pregnancy on Bebo

My son is now 15 Wow And my friend announced it on my wall for me Lol Retro Bebo I hope the baby is called Bebo. My son is now 15. Wow. And my friend announced it on my wall for me. Lol. Bebo. Retro. Bebo. I hope the baby is called Bebo.

Email my work colleagues the ultrasound picture with no other explanation. Oh, that's a popular one, isn't it? Just put up the picture on social media. What is this? I look like a demon though in those things. Still haven't. The closest I've known from the constant vomiting, but 36 weeks and I just haven't told anybody else.

Oh. I bought my husband a fancy new gaming keyboard saying player three has entered the game. Oh, that's great. That's nerdy and cute. The real joke is he's never going to get to use that. No, he's been too busy. He daren't use that when the baby's there

because he has got fatherly duties to take care of. I tried the pregnancy test roulette thing on TikTok with my friends. I don't know what this is. What is this? Pregnancy? Does everybody just wee on the pregnancy test? Oh, yes. There's a little bit of a...

Yes. They all do it. Like, everyone just gets together at a big party and they all just pee on a pregnancy test and everyone's like, huh. And then someone's like, oh. Really? Callie, how did you tell friends and family

that you were pregnant? Oh, so my parents were gagging to their grandparents for years. Oh my God, same. And finally, yeah. Finally on Christmas Day, I announced it to them. And I got my dad like, you know the Spot series of books? The dog? Oh, Spot the dog. Yeah. You lift up the

flaps. He's hiding. Yeah. I got him the Spot meets his grandparents and I got my mum this like Pandora charm for her bracelet of like this baby thing and they were both like like didn't want to ask like, are you want to ask, like, are you pregnant?

They were like, is this something? We weren't being clear enough. Yeah, they were like, is there something you wanted to tell us? And I was like, oh, I don't know. And then they were like, um, uh, uh. And I was like, oh, yeah, I'm pregnant. And they were like, oh, my God. Oh, that'd be fun.

Well, I mean, you got them there most of the way, didn't you? Yeah. I know. And now I've got seven weeks left, so we don't find out what we're having. I thought you were going to say, now we've got seven children. And I was going to be like, they've probably had enough now. They're not gagging anymore. No way.

Yeah, yeah. Stop. Now it's becoming too much of a job. Kelly, thanks for your call. Natalie, how did you tell your friends and family that you were pregnant? We just went to their house for dinner. So it was my partner's dad's birthday. Yeah.

And we gave them like an envelope and he opened it thinking it was like a voucher or something. And when he opened it, the ultrasound was in it. But he thought it was a picture of the moon through a telescope. I do love the moon. He was like, oh, cool. Like, is that from that super moon the other night? And we were like, what? And his mum, like, leaned over and saw what it was.

And she was like, oh, my God. And she just lost the plot and started crying. Nothing done on the spot. And he was like, what's wrong with you? Yeah, yeah, calm down. Yeah. And then she looked at me. She's like, how far along are you? And then he was like, what's wrong with you? Yeah, yeah, calm down. Yeah. And then she looked at me and she's like, how far along are you? And then

he was like, oh, oh, oh. Oh my God, he finally got it. Oh my God, bless. Amazing. Natalie, thank you. A couple of messages to finish. I swear, out for dinner at a restaurant and I secretly ordered a mocktail, but I said, can you please get one

that looks the most like an ordinary cocktail? Okay. It came out looking like a kid's drink. Like pink. And everyone said, but you always drink margaritas. And then the penny dropped. You can make a fake margarita. She said to them, can you please make me something

that looks the least like a kid's drink? And I imagine they bought it. Like a soda or something. Pink flamingo-y thing with cream and ice cream in it. Candy floss. Yeah, on the top. And everyone's like, where's the margarita?

She accidentally told them. And then, yeah, they worked it all out and the penny dropped. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Had a boys weekend at the weekend. Don't have these too often. You've had a lot of big weekends lately.

No, it's too much. I told you. Didn't I tell you weeks ago? I was like, my weekends are done now till we go on holidays. Yeah, unlike you and then we've got a lot of big weekends lately. No, it's too much. I told you. Didn't I tell you weeks ago, I was like, my weekends are done now until we go on holidays. Yeah, unlike you and them, we've got a big weekend this weekend. I know, I've got a headache from all of my socialising. My social juices have been depleted.

I genuinely think there will come an opportunity on this weekend for you and Aaron to take a quiet room and just sit. Yes. Not engage. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. I look forward to sitting and not engaging. You had a boys weekend.

Fun. We had some fun. We had some good chats. Okay. And I think it's just a timely reminder to check in with the lads if you are a lad. We talked last week that men aren't saying I love you to their mates. Yeah. We all said that, I think, at the end when we were leaving.

We had eggs. We had eggs the next morning. Yeah. Lovely all said that, I think, at the end when we were leaving. We had eggs. We had eggs the next morning. Yeah. Lovely. Hey, here's how to do some eggs. How?

Got a hot tip? Yeah. Get a baking dish. Yeah. Not like a massive baking dish. Yeah. Like something

you might make a quiche in. Oh, yeah. Like a quiche size. Yeah. Crack a whole lot of eggs in it. Then get marinated feta and put that

on the eggs. Some salt, some pepper, some chili flakes. Bake it in the oven. That's how I do eggs, but I scramble them. Yeah, it's good stuff. Do you bake your scrambled eggs in the oven? No. I said I do that, but I scramble them in a pan.

No, you've not done that then. Well, that's close enough. No, you put eggs in a pan and scramble them, and you think that's the same as baked eggs with marinated butter. It's the same thing. It's the same thing. It's completely different. It's close enough.

I do the exact same thing as well, except I boil mine and put little soldiers on the side. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's pretty much the same thing. It's exactly the same thing. So you're saying all egg-based dishes are the same thing. This weekend doesn't sound too wild. I mean, you baked some eggs with the lads. Did you do some drinky poos?

Oh, we drank some, but not like heaps. And we just talked and almost had a little mini book club at one stage as well. I've got a new book. What are you reading? I'm reading, you know that guy that died last week, Cormac McCarthy? No idea. He wrote No Country for Old Men and The Road. Yeah, he specializes in miserable stuff.

So I'm reading another one of his miserable books. Wow, okay. Imagine having no one in someone that specializes in miserable. Oh, dude, he specializes in misery. Like all of his books, misery. So I had a play on Tinder too. Oh, it's so much fun playing on Tinder. I saw someone I knew.

I saw someone I knew. I'm flicking through Tinder. It's so funny. I'm like, that's funny. By the way, the racism on Tinder has got saw someone I knew. I saw someone I knew. I'm flicking through Tinder. It's so funny. By the way, the racism on Tinder has got to stop. Is it racist? There's a lot of racism on Tinder. And people would be like, oh, I'm not racist.

But you're saying stuff that is. Yeah. Definitely can be true to that. Women are being racist. Yes. Because was he looking at women? He was only looking at women, not men. Right.

But yeah, there was a bit of racism there. But what were they, I mean, they were saying no and insert race after that. Like no. And I was like, that's, just checking, that's racist, right?

Everyone's like, yeah, yeah. And then we did some Googling on that and did a whole little mini investigation. We should have been recording it. What a great podcast. An investigation into racism on online dating.

Yeah. Then, oh wait, what was it And then I saw someone I knew Okay I saw someone I knew And I was like I'm going to message you Going oh my god I just saw you on Tinder

You can't do that You can't do that That's your privacy You can't do that No no no Because you're not in the world of Tinder No and I'm not in the world of Tinder People that have been like

In a relationship for ages Love playing on single people's Tinder right Yeah You love it I keep doing the wrong I love it I keep doing the wrong swipe ways Same Same. I keep doing the wrong swipe ways. Same.

Same because I don't have it in my muscle memory swiping. So I'd be like, nah. Oh, sorry. It's a match. Oh, sorry. And I couldn't get to the next. So in my mind, they had photos and across the top, it showed that the photos were to the left.

So I'd swipe to go to the next photo and it would just be like, no. I'd be like, wait, what? I'd be gone. Because you tap for the next photo and it would just be like, no. I'd be like, wait, what? I'd be gone. Because you tap for the next photo. I know. And you swipe for the accept or deny. I have a friend, Shari, who tells me that I lost her husband. We were looking at a guy once and it was like, he was gorgeous.

He loves the sea, loves adventure, loves this. And she was like, I love the sea. I love adventure. I love this. Well, it just loves the sea. Yeah. Like the beach. Loves the sea. Loves this. And she was like, I love the sea. I love adventure. I love this. What, just loves the sea? Yeah. Like the beach? Loves the sea.

Loves ocean mammals? Freshwater or primarily salty? We didn't get to it because I swiped the wrong way. It's gone forever. Once they're gone, you can't find them. Oh, my God. So if there's a man out there that loves the sea. Yeah.

She's still single, by the way. Showering. Beautiful. Well, because you lost. It might have been me that she swiped away for oil of the sea. Tis me mistress mistress That could be him I love her warm embrace But he wouldn't have seen her

No because I swiped the wrong way So he may have This is so confusing I'm so confused So you just had eggs Read some books Talked about books Took a book home to read

Went on your friend's Tinder and that was your lads weekend. You need to come and party with us at the weekend more. It was a great lads weekend. We were going to have a spa but the thermostat was broken and it wouldn't get hot enough. What is with these thermostats breaking? Everybody's spa is on the fritz.

Must be nice. You said you had some deep chats and whatnot. Yeah, we did. We had some really good chats. Just some really open, honest chats about, you know, mortality and such. Oh, wow. But just checked in to make sure everything was all right. Oh, I love that. Yeah, it was good.

It's beautiful. And getting a sleepover. Having a sleepover. You've got to have a sleepover because you feel like naughty kids when you go to bed and you're still talking. And things open up. The later the night goes. Yeah, when you're lying down. And it gets darker. The later the night goes, things open up more.

And then it gets darker in your life. I do have something to tell you. But I will say, men over 40, more and more every year, another person becomes a snorer. Every year, there's a bit more, I've got to remember air plugs for the next sleepover.

You should have like a group sleeping uniform with a tennis ball on the back. God, it's like staying in a dock hut. Yeah. Or you always need earplugs. Yeah. Harmonising snores. But if there was no Germans getting up at 3 o'clock in the morning

and decided to pack for the airport. If there was, you'd be like, how did this German get here? I'm sorry, has anyone seen my charger? We did drink too much because somehow the Tinder German's here. And it's a dude? We had a date night. You had a boys' night. Yeah.

You had a quiet night. Yeah. And then I had a date night. Oh, man. Cool, you should bring some more stories to the radio. What did you do on your quiet night? I mean, this won't take long. I feel like we can fit both Fletch's quiet night and your day night.

I just had a quiet night. I went to the gym, came home, had a shower. Mints in the fridge. Watched some kind of crime show. Played with the cat, went to bed, played with myself. Good night. Well, I went on a date night. We had a little staycation.

That's nice. When you're living in a renovation. Yeah, no shower. We were just gagging for a shower. Was that the highlight of the staycation, just having a running shower? Yeah, totally. It was. So after being told my skin was gorgeous, I checked into this amazing place.

And it was so nice. They had like a little champagne on arrival. I was like, romance. Hello. Romance is a foot. Yeah. I ended up drinking a little bit too much, so romance wasn't a foot.

Oh, no. Spins were a foot? No, no, it wasn't spins. I was just tired. Ever try to get the romance going, you start getting the spins and you have to call it off? You're like hanging on to them. Like, whoa!

Hang on. You might be on top or whatever, and I won't go into too much detail. Clinging onto their shoulders. Maybe you lean forward a bit too much, a bit too much blood rushes to the head, and then you get the spurs, and you're like, I'm just going to rain check.

Put a lie down. Just a bit of a lie down. I just need to go. No, look, it wasn't that bad. It was just that we had our showers, because that was the main thing. Yeah. And then we haven't had a TV

for ages. We watched TV for a bit. And then this place we stayed had an open bar. God, you're like the armour shift going on holiday. Oh, I know. I tried to make it seem like a more interesting weekend than Fletch, but no. But anyway, they had an open bar at this place that you could go to from 4 to 10 and you could just help yourself.

What? What? It's dangerous. So we drank the little Prosecco they left us. Then the Prosecco that we brought

and then we were like, well, we need some more. So we crossed the hallway into this, they call it the library. Yeah. And we went in there but we timed it wrong.

We got in and there were these two people already in there and I'd say the room is small, like the size of like a bathroom. Okay. You know, it like a bathroom. Okay. You know, it's quite small. Yeah.

It's got two big armchairs, all these books, the bar, and then these two little poofs, you know, sort of like seedy things. And so we went in and we kind of had that moment that we were like, open the door and they saw us and we couldn't just like go in and be like, we don't want to come if you're in there. So we went in. So when you open the door on a sauna or something, you go like,

and then, yeah. These people. God damn it, I'm just sitting here now. It looks like I purposely turned away because I found you so repugnant.

Yeah, you're repugnant. I don't want to sweat near you. So you go in for five arbitrary minutes and then you leave. I think that's what we did. We went in, we're like,

we'll just have a glass then and we'll go to our dinner reservation and open up their little wine fridge and got a salve and poured a salve and then, hi, hey, how are you? Hi, hi. And they were American and I was like, oh, okay.

Well, always a good story starter. What are you doing here and blah, blah, blah. Yeah. And the moment this older fella started speaking, there were two things I knew. Yeah. One, he is rich. Like I could tell from looking at the guy, he did some work done and he had nice clothes

on. Oh yeah. And he just was really rich looking. Yeah. And two, he was gay. Like super. You just knew. I just knew.

I could just tell from his voice. Yeah. Rich and gay. Yeah. And then we were chatting to him a bit about, you know, what he'd done in America and, you know, what he does and where he was from and he was, like, travelling the world and he's like, oh, yeah, I sold up.

And we're like, what do you mean he sold up? And he was like, do you remember the, what was it, global financial crisis in doodoo-doo-doo? 2008? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember it well. We were like, yeah. He said, well, I did pretty well out of it.

It was weird. Some people did. Well, the world burned. Some people did very well. I did well out of people's misery. Yeah. Me and Aaron were like, far out. All right.

And he said, so yeah, I basically sold up. And then Aaron goes, Aaron, who's like, we're a little sloshy. He was like, are you rich? And the guy was like, yeah. Yeah. And then he was saying like, so all I do is travel around now. I just travel and, you know, check out the world and whatnot. guy was like, yeah. Yeah. And then he was saying like, so all I do is travel around now. I just travel and,

you know, check out the world and whatnot. We were like, amazing. And they were like, now this guy next to you is either your son. And they were like, what about you?

And then he started talking and there were two things I knew straight away. Yeah. One, he wasn't rich. Two, he was gay. Yeah. And then we were like, so this guy,

I think he was 65 years old. Yeah. So we were chatting to him and then Aaron was just like, how old are you? And he was like, I'm 21. We were like,

oh, the pieces were coming together. So not son? Not son. Not son. Not son. So to put that in age gap comparison, if that was me, my gay lover's not even born yet.

No, you're going to have to wait for your gay lover. Three more years until my gay lover even enters the world. Yeah, right. And then I make my millions off the global financial and then I find my lover. Of this global financial crisis. I don't know if you'll last another 20. No.

Yeah. The way your back's going. You should be touching guys. You should be touching go. But it was so funny, like Aaron is so, it was just so curious about this whole set up. So he was like, right. And then the moment that Aaron asked this

young dude, like, what do you do? I was like, no, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, he's doing it. He's doing it. He's doing it right now. But they'd been like Travelling the world together For like two years Oh wow I know

And this guy's obviously Like paying for Hell yeah Oh yeah Living the life I just loved it I was like This is fantastic

We ended up talking to them For an hour and a half We missed our dinner reservation We The four of us Polished off like Two bottles of wine Right

I think it's complimentary Like come in for a glass. Yeah, yeah. Do you have like a millionaire friend now? Well, we were kind of, we were saying like, oh, go do this, go do that and blah, blah, blah. And then we were like, oh, we're heading out. Aaron said we're heading out for dinner.

And part of me was like, shush. Like, I just want to go out for dinner on our own now. But they had plans. They were off to, God, I can't even remember where. Oh, you couldn't afford to eat where they were eating. No, no, no, they'd be paying, or he'd be paying. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think he only pays if...

Yeah, I know, and Aaron was not it for him. Right. No, not his target. Yeah. Demo. Anyway, I was like, what a wonderful set up. Good for you. Good for you being rich and travelling the world

and not doing anything. And he was like, oh, yeah, because, you know, my kids are like in their 30s. And I was like, oh, okay, interesting. He's had a wild time. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. What a wild story.

It's a wild story. I guess a man who later in life realised he was a homosexual, took him a young lover and then travels the world with all of the money he made in the global financial crisis of 2008. Fact of the day, this blew my mind. We hear a lot about Dubai's Burj Khalifa, don't we? It's tall. Tallest building in the world. We've been up it, haven't we?

Been up it. Very scary. They project people on the side. It's all this, that, and the other. Well, remember Jacinda Ardern on the side of it. After the Christchurch attacks, yep. So it's a hell of a building to behold. You have to step quite far back to get it all in a picture.

It all happens around there. But it is not connected to the city's sewer system. What? Where does the poop go? The boujee califa. The boujee califa. The boujee califa isn't that boujee because it's not connected to the city's sewer system. It has a big septic tank that literally trucks have to pump out every day.

What? That is wild. Insane, hey? What's the reason for that? They just didn't ensure there was enough space for the system to join up. Surely you could just connect the tanks to the system. No, because they built everything. So now that the structure's built and complete

and you can't put a hole in the world's tallest building's foundations to work the pipes in. Of course you can't. That was just never planned. So what happens to it? It goes into a massive tank at the bottom of the building because that's the thing. It's not just a site, says,

has the capacity to have 35,000 residents. Do people live there? People live in the Burj Khalifa. Yeah. Do they? Yeah, there's apartments and everything on some of the lower levels. And some of the higher levels.

God, you'd be above the clouds so much. Yeah. Yuck, I don't want it. I know. Some of the higher levels are like very, very expensive penthouses. Yeah. Like full floors and for the super rich. So it can have up to 35,000 people in it, but it doesn't have its own.

It's connected to the sewage system is it like when you go out and stay at someone's house and they've got septic tanks and they're like don't flush anything like you know down the toilet yeah just wheeze and ones and twos and that's it and paper yeah people and paper the three p's of what should i mean that should be your rule regardless of what sort of septic system you're hooked up to be a town septic or a septic tank so they said they have looked into it. It's going to be very, very expensive, and it won't be able to be connected until at least 2025.

Wow. You can buy a one-bedroom place at the Burj Khalifa right now for about $1,500,000 New Zealand. $1.5 million for a one-bedroom unit in the Burj Khalifa? Yeah. How high up? Has it got a microwave? I don't even know if it's got a microwave.

Does it come finished? It's very plain. It's got a kitchen. Oh, that's very plain. It's big. Like, that's quite roomy. It's a big one-bedroom. Oh, so it's got a little viewing deck as well?

Yeah. Oh, okay. Viewing deck. Oh, for my sake. Yeah, no. You go, I might just go outside and have my coffee. I'm like, yeah. My knees are over-vertigated. Your knees are a buckle. Oh, my face. Yeah, no. You go, I might just go outside and have my coffee. I'm like, oh, my knees.

Oh, my vertical. Your knees are a buckle. I should have come and checked before I brought it off the plans. It is. Like, we stood on the viewing deck, and it's like, I'm not, I'm good with heights, but that was like, it was still hard. Nah, I don't like it. And then right at the top, it just seems surreal.

It's scarier kind of been halfway than it is all the way at the top because up the top just seems fake. When you're looking down at skyscrapers, that's what's mind-blowing because you're so high above skyscrapers that they look tiny. Absolutely weak in the knees. Today's fact of the day is Dubai's Burj Khalifa isn't hooked up to Dubai's sewage system. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Well, a girl called Emily in America has shared quite a creepy few text messages she received.

She was heading back from the gym. She got home and got a text. And she doesn't share like the previous, you know, like the hello, blah, blah, blah. She shares this. So how did you even know who I was to this mystery texter? Oh. I figured it out after I got on

shift. She says how, L-M-A-O. Laugh my anosso. He said plate number. So turns out this guy is a policeman, had seen her at the gym, Oh no!

saw her car, ran her plate when he got to work, and texted her because he thought she was hot. He's a cop and he's got access to her. Yeah. Because her number's on her. And so he's had to resign because she complained, and this went viral.

Yeah, man. That is so... I would rather someone come up to me if I was leaving the gym and be like, hey, I think you're really cute. Can I take you on a date? Yeah. Than hunt me down by looking at me as I was leaving the gym and be like, hey, I think you're really cute. Can I take you on a date? Yeah. Then hunt me down by looking at me as I get in my car,

finding my number plate. Yeah. What about if they added you on like Instagram or Facebook? Yeah, that's a bit more normal. Well, yeah. How would they know your name? Yeah, how would they know your name?

You've got to find out their name. The only way you can find out someone's name immediately is to ask them. Yeah. Or access police data records. Yeah. Yeah. I remember once when I, because my dad owned a finance company.

Yeah. And they have access to vehicle information because they have to for security reasons. Yeah. And I remember someone sideswiped my car and didn't leave a note. But the guy at the cafe where my car was parked was like, I saw the number plate. It was a green truck and this was the number plate.

And I took it to my dad. I was like, dad, can you run the plates? He was like, this is not a service. This is not what we do. I was like, but you could so easily figure out who it is. But you can just go to the post shop or do it online and pay, right? But you know, but you don't figure out their information. Car Jam, you can pay to get more,

but then I think it notifies them that somebody searched for it specifically. Oh, okay. I think that was what it was last time. Because it used to be at the post office, you could just take it. I was in the post office once paying a bill. You had to go to the post office to pay the bills. Back in the day. Back in the day.

And this lady walked in and she's like, this car just like threw something out the window at my kids on the bike and it hit them. And this is the number plate. Did they deserve it? And I want their details. I don't know if this kid biking along, minding their own business,

deserved to be hit with a cup of soft drink. I'm not sure. But then the lady was like, oh, what are you going to do? And she said, well, I'm just going to contact them and tell them that they've upset my child. Yeah, give them a piece of my mind. Or not. And then she got the information and walked away,

and she was like, yeah, we're going to tell Dad, and he's going to go run another one. Wow, okay. Messed them up. But this is what I wanted to ask. Have you been on the receiving end of somebody stalking you with a database? Or have you used, because a lot of workplaces have databases.

Or like, you know, access to things like license plates. Yeah. Have you used up the work database to search someone? Oh, it must happen at gyms all the time. Oh yeah, hotties walking in. Hotties walking in and they're like, boop, they can see it. Yeah, and they're just like. They can see who it is or whatever. okay, my name is Hayley Sproul.

Yeah. Follow on Instagram, DM. Track her down. God, that has not happened to me. It's so crazy. Maybe it's an impossible phone-in topic, but I don't know. I just thought like now because with privacy issues and I feel like maybe it was probably a lot more.

Because you remember those news stories back in the day when people worked at IRD would get busted for looking up how much all the all blacks earned? And celebrity television presenters and stuff? Yes. And it would be all leaked through the media and doing the rounds on social. Holmesy. That was a famous one, eh?

Somebody released how much Paul Holmes had earned. You never know. It's just like, whoa! Yeah, good for him. I remember the staff got told off or warnings or fired or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, what have you looked up on the work database? You can be anonymous. I mean, maybe we won't get any calls because things are pretty strict these days.

Text though, 9696. Yeah, text through 9696. Maybe you've been on the receiving end of it. That's who we're more likely to hear from, I think, when someone looked you up in a database. Yeah, did somebody use a database to work computers to look you up? So a cop in America has had to resign because he looked up the plate of a hot girl at the gym.

Sent her just a text message out of the blue. Because you got an exit to the phone number, this. It's pretty dodgy. It's pretty bad. So we want to know this morning, have you used the work database to do something like this, to look someone up? Or have you been on the receiving end of something like this? And surprise, surprise.

Some of these are a little full on. Some of these are a little full on. Some of these are a little full on. I can't believe the amount of people that are messaging and owning up to doing it. I thought we would just be hearing from people who are on the receiving end. Anonymous, you used a database to look somebody up? Oh. Hello. You just got a text.

Are you a clown in a clown car at the moment? Off to a party, are we? It was another phone. Is that your text alert every time you get a text? From the work zone, yes. Oh, okay. That's a bit much. Oh, I would hate to have two phones.

I know. Double phoning. So what have you used the database for? So there's a database where you can, when you work in an industry, where you can see where people live if they own homes. Yes. And my husband was driving and an older gentleman pulled out and reversed into him.

And he gave him his name and his licence. And we put it through insurance. And the insurance came back and said, I know he's denying it. Said it never happened. He's not responsible. And so I looked him up in our system to see where he lived. And my husband went and paid him a visit. Oh, amazing.

And when he paid him a visit, he was talking to him over the fence. And he got all aggravated. And then his wife came out. And the wife was like, but you told me that you just hit a fence or whatever. She knew nothing about it. He'd lied completely. And then after the confrontation, the next Monday, we got a call from the insurance company saying it's all been accepted.

Oh. The wife put him right. Okay, that worked. See, that's using it for good, right? That's not creepy. Yeah. Well, it's a good bit. I shouldn't love it.

Also, having seen Friends access that database, it's a good database because then you can see how much people's houses are worth. Oh, I love doing that. I love doing that. I mean, you can kind of do that anyway. It's public information, right? It is. A lot of the sale information. It's not the names. Yeah, exactly. Linking it all together.

Anonymous, thank you. Some messages in. I signed up for Greenpeace and the girl I signed up through took my number off the form and rang me at 1am that same morning. Was she drunk? Nice to meet you. She's like, I've got to give this guy a call. We've got to talk about Wales, man. I've got a real vibe of you for Wales.

Get to more of your texts and calls next. Pink ZM. A cop in the US has had to resign because he ran the plate of a hot chuck and then text her and she posted it all online saying, this is not appropriate. Yeah. And we want to know when you've used the work database or been on the receiving end of somebody snooping at your details.

I know. Some of these messages are really funny and some of them you're like, good Lord. And then, yeah, I know. Some of these messages are really funny, and some of them you're like, good Lord. And then, yeah, I know. Some are, like, really creepy. Really creepy. Jess, what happened? So I work for a ride-share company in Australia, and I was able to look up people's ride history

because often we'd have to, like, answer questions about where they'd been or whatnot. And I had suspected a partner was cheating. And so I was like, I'm going to see where they've gone. So you could see the maps in their rides? Yeah, in their location, like when they said they'd been somewhere else. Oh, that's juicy, that's juicy.

That's juicy. And had they been cheating? Yeah, they were. Oh, that's juicy. That's juicy. That's juicy. And had they been chatting? Yeah, they were. Oh. Sorry. Were they like going to the mistress's house or something?

Yeah, I think so. It was just like, I didn't know exactly where they were going, but it wasn't where they said they had been going. Oh. That's.

Mother out. I love that. Oh my God, that's so good. Wow. Imagine if you could log in to see where your friends had been and stuff. Yeah, you'd be like, you were lying to me. I thought, yes. Yeah, my God, that's so good. Wow. Imagine if you could log in to see where your friends had been and stuff.

Yeah, you'd be like, you were lying to me. Yeah, you're there with a lot of power. Yeah. I think it's good to have at least, because I think you're the only one who's got me on Find My Friends. It's good for someone to know where I am. You know? Just in case.

It's good for someone to know. Jess, thank you for your call. Steph, now you were on the receiving end of somebody looking into the database. No, well, back in the day there was a smoothie shop that you could log in and check your email and things like

that and I logged in, checked my email, logged back out but it must have had my email address left there. Oh yeah, if they went to click and like write another one and the drop down might have previously yeah yeah so off i went and then i checked my emails like a couple of days later and i had this email from this dude who was like hey i saw you at the smoothie shop um i thought you were real pretty. Blah, blah, blah. And I was like, oh, okay, cool, thanks.

I've got a boyfriend. No thank you. And he was like, oh, maybe this might change your mind. And he sent me an inappropriate post. And it changes our minds.

I know, exactly, right? And then I was like, oh, gross, don't send me that. And then he sent me another one going, are you sure? Like, oh, God, it was horrendous. Did he change the angle for the second one? Yes, yes. It was a different room and a different style. And I was like, man, it's not how you're standing.

It wasn't the wallpaper, my dude. Wow. Steph, thanks for your call. Some messages in. I used the work database to get a customer's number and now we're happily married. Oh, okay. Okay.

So it's not creepy when it's happily married and 12 years down the track kind of thing. It's not creepy when they're also hot. My mum went through the files at her work about my now stepdad who was a customer and they'd been married for 30 years. Oh, there you go. Maybe this is a secret to love. No.

Being a creepy little detective. Are you going to go through our text machine because we get the numbers coming up and if someone sends a sexy text, we'll be like, ooh. No, the best way I was if somebody sent an inappropriate text, you used to be able to copy the number and search it on Facebook and then you could see them on Facebook, but that doesn't happen anymore. No.

Oh, yeah, I took my number off Facebook. No, you just can't search by phone number on Facebook. But you used to, remember? Yeah. Yeah. God, don't do that. That was fun. I work in retail.

If a famous person or an influencer buys online using their postal address, they always lock up their house and how much they bought it for. Oh, my God. Amazing. That's cute, but they definitely pay too much. Oh, yeah. I was seeing a police officer and he looked me up on the police database to make sure I'd never been in any major trouble.

Okay. I mean, I guess. Because you hear about that when dads are in the force, right? And their daughter starts, their kids start seeing someone and they'll do a little checky-checky to see if their name's in the system. I'd wait until one of the new recruits went to the toilet and left their computer logged in and do it under their log in. Yeah, that's a good point.

Somebody else said we got all of our performance reviews were on this drive. They weren't locked or private. You could literally open any ones you saw, but the document kept tabs of whoever had opened it. Oh, no. So there was a few people who went through and literally opened and read everybody's, and those people had to apologise to every employee

individually for breaching their privacy. Although some should have also fallen on the workplace for leaving that in a note. You know, it's like leaving it on the printer and then being angry if people read it. Oh, I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast, I'll tell you. It's a podcast. You are allowed to listen to it while you wheeze.

There's no rules on when and where you're allowed to listen to a podcast. It just says here I'm busting for a wheeze. I read it, okay? I read it. Give us a review. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
