Starting point is 00:00:35 this morning in an interview, and he was supposed to be on this trip. And then he said in the last moment, he was like, guys, this is a bit janky, to be honest. Didn't they use like a scaffolding pole as one of the bits on the... And they had stuff from like a camping shop. He was just like, no, no, no, no, this looks
Starting point is 00:00:52 a bit budget. Yeah. But one of Pakistan's richest men were like, I'm taking my son. I'm in. I'm in. And my son's coming with me.

Coming up on the show, the top six. It's been very cold in Australia, not just here in New Zealand, but Australia. Some really unusually cold temperatures, like Sydney.

Starting point is 00:01:57 Oh right okay. We never heard of her again. You know Melbourne gets cold but Sydney you never hear of Sydney getting like six degrees and like freezing cold.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Yeah like proper cold. Yeah global, you never hear of Sydney getting like six degrees and like freezing cold. Yeah, like proper cold. Yeah, you go overwhelming. I love the top six signs that Australia's cold. Also coming up on the show today, more HelloFresh to give away. Behind you, Hayley, our great wall of HelloFresh boxes.

Yesterday, we gave away like 700 bucks worth. Yeah, it was a lot. Of HelloFresh. It was really a lot. Be listening after eight this morning for The Activator. Next on the show.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Bronte, one of my favourite maths contestants of the year. She's been sharing a little money-making tip. Good Lord. Something we can all do. Something we can all do. Times are tough. Yep, all you need is a camera and a body. Play. ZM's Flet need is a camera and a body. Play.
Starting point is 00:03:07 ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. You might want to get that maths bell ready, Vaughan. I'm actually in charge of the bell today. Well, maths. He's too slow, Vaughan. You didn't teach him well. We don't need to do it every time. We don't need maths.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Anyway, I watched maths this year and I thought it was a bloody scorcher season. Right. Bronte was one of my favourite characters. Now, for those like me, because Vaughn's obviously seen it, that haven't seen it, what... Bronte was partnered up with the show villain. Right. Harrison.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Now, Harrison was the meddler. Harrison kept getting into everyone's relationships. Shannon's not. And we know that Harrison's a... You know, and Bronte was hard done by. Was he getting into everyone's relationships. Shannon's not and we know that Harrison you know and Bronte was hard done by. Was he kissing other people? No, no, no. He was just like shit stirring basically. Like getting in there and kind of saying
Starting point is 00:03:53 what about this? What about this? And then causing all sorts of explosions. And yeah, she had a horrendous time and they were saying that he was like manipulating her the whole time and doodly- doodly-doo. And now she's come out and admitted, well, kind of, she's making these like funny little TikToks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:19 One of them sort of subtly admitting that she just went on maths to get an OnlyFans. You know, to like promote, get a bigger following on OnlyFans, get people invested in her as a person and then subscribe. A lot of these reality show contestants come off these shows and start on OnlyFans and make bank. So Bronte. Everybody's watched them on the show and they're like, I wouldn't mind seeing them naked. She just revealed that she made $100,000 in three days. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Now, as she, as her only fans, is it everything? Because, you know, some people, like, they're just like, they don't do... Bikini shots and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't subscribe.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Remember back in the day, the only way you could see, like, reality show contestants was to wait for Big Brother Uncut when they got in the shower? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big Brother Uncut was the best Big Brother. Oh, my God. I forgot about that. What's in the contract?
Starting point is 00:05:10 Which, by the way, for that, don't you think, looking back at Big Brother and Cut, when they were like, when you were watching them shower, that was wild for the time, right? Yeah. Like, that was on free-to-air TV. Yeah. Even though it was on late. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:23 That was wild. Where they opened champagne bottles and kept the wire thing, and they'd put their doodles in it, and they'd run around, and they caught a greyhound racing. Australians, eh? I know. That was wild. So her OnlyFans account is currently $25.99 a month.
Starting point is 00:05:40 So with OnlyFans, I thought you paid, like, an OnlyFans subscription, but you pay an individual. Yes. Right. And obviously OnlyFans are getting a cut, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. OnlyFans take a cut. Yeah, what?
Starting point is 00:05:55 It's a cut of OnlyFans. So if you wanted to follow like three people and they were all $20 a month, it would be $60 a month. But then some people charge like $5 a month. Shame. But she's obviously like... But if you're a reality show... It's tiered though, isn't it? Like a Patreon. Patreon's OnlyFans for nerds, but you
Starting point is 00:06:13 get different things for different amounts of money. It's tiered. So she keeps posting this video of her falling on the couch in her little booty shorts, just being like a funny... She's a funny girl. I like her a lot. Apparently OnlyFans takes 20% of the user's transactions. It's like an agent.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Yeah, it's like an agent. So it's actually like a pimp, really. It is a daddy, pimp daddy. It's a pimp daddy. So she keeps posting photos like of her like doing little funny things on TikTok, but then like linking to the OnlyFans. Did it for the plot and here we are. Red hot chilli, eyes, OnlyFans. Did it for the plot and here we are. Red Hot Chili.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Eyes. OnlyFans. $100,000 in three days. Dude, I want it. You'd do that, right? Who wouldn't? I want OnlyFans. The only reason I'm not doing it is, you know, because I'm such a mega superstar and it'd be weird.
Starting point is 00:06:58 You'd make more money. You'd make more money. I don't know if TVNZ would like you on the Great Kiwi Bake Off. Yeah, exactly. While your baps are out of the on the Great Kiwi Bake Off. Yeah, exactly. While your baps are out of the oven. Great Kiwi Kid Off. Family friendly show. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:10 $900 million is what the company OnlyFans made in 2021. Out of 20%? Yeah. What? $900 million in 2021. And you think how much bigger it is now and how many more people have heard of it now than in 2021. Especially when there's so much free stuff online. That's nuts,
Starting point is 00:07:28 right? Could we do it? How would I do it? Just feet or something? Just go on where they don't see your face and do weird stuff. Schmaley growl. I'll call that. Remember my friend that that guy paid him to blow up a balloon? That's right. And he just got off watching him blow up a balloon? I want to do the one
Starting point is 00:07:43 where I send him my shower water. Also, smelly growl sounds too much like smelly growl. Smelly growler on the OnlyFans. Smelly growler. You're not. Okay, I'll work on the name. I'm going to work on the pseudonym. Play.
Starting point is 00:07:57 ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. So some research has been done and it's looked into online gaming. They looked at player versus player fights. They looked at 80,000 fights online between players. And it turns out that females, if you're gaming and you're a female, it is better that you conceal your gender. All right. Why?
Starting point is 00:08:21 Because men playing against females, even if they're men that are using female avatars or have a female username, men will play harder against females. Don't want to get beaten by a girl. You don't want to get, I don't know if it's sexist or they don't want to be beaten by a girl, but they looked at, they studied thousands of games
Starting point is 00:08:41 and this was true. They go harder on the girls. Isn't that insane? So even because in games like Fortnite, which I'm imagining is one of the ones that they kind of studied
Starting point is 00:08:51 because it's so popular. You can have a female, you can appear female as a male. So if you're a male, if you choose a female avatar or username, you are probably
Starting point is 00:09:02 less advantaged because so many men in the game will go after you harder. Right. I would like to know what a female username is. I don't know. Mrs. Mrs. Flowers. Mrs. Surfer Babe. Yeah. Mrs. Cutie Pie. Mrs. Menstruation. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Mrs. Boobs. Mrs. Menstruation Monster. Mrs. Wearing a Bra. Mrs. Boobies. Yeah. Mrs. Ovaries. bra. Miss boobies. Yeah. Miss ovaries. That's interesting. Do you find if you're playing against... I'm just stoked
Starting point is 00:09:31 to beat anybody. I'm just stoked to be there. Just happy to be a witness at all. You know what? It's not a gender thing for me. It's an age thing for me. I was going to say when a 12 year old beats you at Fortnite. Yeah. The thing is you also can't hear. Well, in Fortnite you can't hear the voice of someone.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Yeah, right. Who beat you? I'm going to kick your ass. Yeah, yeah. But then every now and then if you do like three of you and you accidentally go into the four player and you get teamed up with some random kid and they're like.
Starting point is 00:10:01 You're just like, oh my God, shut up. Shush. Can you shoot your own team? Yeah, you can't shoot your own team for an advisor. Producer Jared, you game a lot as well. Do you find this? Do you? I know your mic's not on, hon.
Starting point is 00:10:13 There you are, hon. Yeah, I mean, like, not really. For me, it's more, I'd rather lose to someone my age than someone much younger than me. Yeah, it's an age thing. Yeah, because this study doesn't say anything about age, just gender. I wouldn't have thought that gender had a huge part in the gaming world because it's not like it's a physical sport, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:38 Yeah, I'm pretty progressive when it comes to gender anyway. It's a societal construct. I don't see gender. You just see the avatar. Yeah. I'm just, again, I'm just stoked to be there. Yeah. I'm just pleased to be allowed some time on the PlayStation.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Play ZM's Fletch Vorn and Hayley. Yesterday, just quickly a reminder, the last episode of the first season of Sex, Not Life came out. You can binge the whole thing now. Yeah. And last episode was a Q&A, which kind of answered everything about the wild first season. And the behind the scenes, everyone was like,
Starting point is 00:11:13 oh my God, tell us what happens next. Tell us that. So we just answered all that. Yeah. Well, you can download that wherever you podcast. iHeartRadio. You can text podcast to 9696. We'll find you back a link as well.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Good fun. Speaking of sex, speaking of sex life, do you know apparently we're having less sex than we did last year? Already. Less. They haven't asked me. Have they asked you? They didn't ask me. Did they ask you? Yeah. I may have been generous.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I may have been having a suck at that moment. Yeah, right. Because I just asked if we could have sex And I was told no Yeah right I'm not I haven't had any this year though So when you were asked you were like No none
Starting point is 00:11:52 Yeah none None apparently Well you never get any Well you might have skewed the research here I think you might have We're having less sex than last year significantly Mental health specialists believe it is because Of the world
Starting point is 00:12:03 We're stressed Well it's a depressing place at the moment isn world. We're stressed. Well, it's a depressing place at the moment, isn't it? We're stressed and depressed, yeah. Cauliflower's $8. Dude. Dude. I had cauliflower last night. It must be nice. Whole head of it. Must be nice, yeah. Pretty good, man. $8 for a cauliflower.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Didn't have much else. I got a half a cauliflower for $3.49, so jokes on them. I should have bought two of them, but they're not a half. No. What about frozen cauliflower rice? How much is a bag of that? Like two bucks for the cheap stuff?
Starting point is 00:12:30 Yeah, but it's so wet. Yeah, but what are you using it for? It's a bit harder. You're actually dead right. It could have been used. We could have made it. But then it was good. Then you go into the supermarket and come out with the one thing
Starting point is 00:12:41 you went in for. It never happens. I'd be like, oh, man, I need a box of that LaCroix stuff, which is just like bubbly water with a drop of lime flavouring in it. We'll get a SodaStream. We'll get a dollar. I've got a SodaStream. We'll use that.
Starting point is 00:12:52 But someone put the SodaStream bottles through the dishwasher. You don't do that. Who do you think? And it was too hot and it misshaped the bottles and they won't click into the SodaStream machine anymore. You can buy a kit, replace them. God, your wife doesn't know how to use the dishwasher. She's apparently not at all. She's thick, man.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I'm going to tell you, it is lucky that that woman is beautiful. She's got one thing going for her. She doesn't rinse. She doesn't pre-rinse. She's also in a shit with me because she's not invited to dinner tonight. Oh, is she? Yeah, Aaron was a bit like, am I coming? I was like, no. Maybe they can have dinner. No, yeah, you two. We're having dinner with Ursula tonight because our TV show got cancelled.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Hers didn't. Her career's going from strength to strength. And I remember last time we went out for dinner, me and you paid for her dinner. I feel if you're selling out a 20,000 seat arena on the regular with your stand-up comedy, maybe you can shout the Sprout and Smith at dinner. Yeah. I'm not even bringing my wallet. I'm making her drop me off home too.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Good Lord. Anyway, apparently one reason why we in the southern hemisphere might not be having as much love making is because summertime is where people are the hottest under the collar. Summer was extremely wet and apparently the only thing. That's what you need. It was. You don't want to be dry.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Because it was a bad summer, so that meant we didn't make as much love? Oh, yeah, maybe. Yeah. Maybe. So sun promotes, well, we didn't get a lot of sunshine. Sun promotes extra release of serotonin and dopamine, the feel-good hormones. The vitamin Ds. That make you feel good and happy
Starting point is 00:14:20 and blood flow and energised. Right. Plus the excess vitamin D, which is known to improve mood and sexual satisfaction. Right. Plus the excess vitamin D, which is known to improve mood and sexual satisfaction. It all pumps it up. So vitamin D leads to more vitamin D. It's a vicious cycle. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Vitamin D. Do we need to start doing what the, all the, what are those? Scandinavian countries and get like some UV light. What are they? Not UV, fake lights. Yeah, they do. Yeah, they have light mirrors, fake
Starting point is 00:14:48 windows and you sit in front of this thing that's a fake window. So you don't get depressed. Yeah, it pumps you full of UVs and such. Does that horn them up or nah? I don't think the point of them is to get some horny Danes. They're like, hey, what are we doing tonight? Right, it's just an interesting, you know, we're always
Starting point is 00:15:04 like, oh, which country's got the biggest wang? Which has got the biggest boobies? Those are two things we've had in the last two weeks. Horniest country, please. Okay. You go, go. I'll go, go. What country?
Starting point is 00:15:18 What country? Oh, I've got a top five. How do you measure horny? I've got a top ten. I've got a top ten. Ask men. The website, ask men. Okay. Let's see if this coincides with the Jurek survey.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Oh, okay. Oh, it's one of those websites that slides. And so every time there's... It's like they're getting another click. Oh, hang on. I can click on one. I can click on one. The horniest country, Greece.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Is that on your list as well? So this is my list. This was 2010. This is very out of date. Brazil is number two on the list of the horniest countries. Number three, Russia. I want to be in a boat. Three, four, China.
Starting point is 00:15:58 I mean, they do have a lot of people. A lot of people. Poland is number five on the list of the horndogs. More like Poland. Italy is number seven. All those. I get pretty horny. Brits and Sun.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Everything about Italy. Pizza. Pasta belly. Malaysia is number seven on the list. Spain is number eight. Number nine, Switzerland. Those are the top ten horniest countries. Well, we're not on the list.
Starting point is 00:16:23 We're not on the top ten. We've got the most promiscuous woman, though. Yeah, we do. What? Who said that? Yeah, we've talked about this. Yeah. Kiwi ladies, we're getting it.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Me? You've been sitting with one person for the last 12 years. I'm getting it. Play ZM's Fletch Vornanalee. Play ZM. Now there was a fun social club kind of team building get together for ZDM yesterday Yep
Starting point is 00:16:52 Didn't align with our schedule so the three of us did not partake However I was gutted because was there laser tag? I love laser tag Yeah I love laser tag I like to cover the senses You had mints in the fridge Mints in the fridge I love laser tagging. Yeah, I love laser tagging. I like to cover the senses. Just out of interest. You're busy, Dave, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:17:05 No, I'm very busy. You had mints in the fridge? Mints in the fridge. Busy day. Had the physio, had gym. Okay. Yeah, lots on. Well, you can't be playing laser tagging if you've got physio.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Well, no, not with a physio groin. Well, I've got a dicky groin. Well, that's where it belongs, don't you? It'd look funny if it was on your chest. I've got a dicky groin. Yeah, well, what else did you think was going to be? if it was on your chest. I've got a dicky groin. Yeah, well, what else did you think was going to be?
Starting point is 00:17:26 It's just a groin. I've got a minor groin. It's still dicky. I can't believe that the amount of times they say I have a groin strain, people are like, oh, what have you done?
Starting point is 00:17:37 What have you done? It's like when someone's got a wrist sprain and everyone's like, all right, mate, keep your hands off it. Yeah, that even happens to women.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Yeah. Someone broke their wrist and someone was like, oh, I mate, keep your hands off it. Yeah. Yeah. That even happens to women. Yeah. Who broke their wrist and someone was like, oh, I said it's going to make it. I bet someone makes a joke that you're playing with yourself too much. And they're like, no. It happened within the first day. We're not so wristy anyway. Aren't you? You should try it out.
Starting point is 00:17:59 It's different action. Anyway. Look, just because it's early, stop misbehaving. Yeah. So the girlies went. Anyway. Look, just because it's early, stop misbehaving. Yeah. So the girlies went. Yes. How was it?
Starting point is 00:18:12 It was fun, but I wildly embarrassed myself. So this is right. We've heard you came last in every activity that was on offer yesterday. And when I say last, I mean last. Dead last. So what other activities? Laser tag? And we did go-karting. Two activities I have never done before. Oh, I've done go-k? Laser tag? And we did go-karting. Two activities I have never done before.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Oh, I've done go-karting. You've never done go-karting? I get a bit scared around the corners. And then it's scary. Yeah, it goes real, real slightly. And I can barely drive my car-car. I'm still on my restricted. Your car-car?
Starting point is 00:18:38 Your car-car. My brum-brum car-car. Yeah, yeah, brum-brum. I'm still on my restricted, and it was showing. Yeah. She's a young woman Yeah I should have my Not like 19 or 20 She's 24
Starting point is 00:18:53 She just turned 24 The day before So the times were Petra won our first race, she did 22 second laps Shannon came in hot with 38 second laps. God, you're so far behind her. Give her enough, she'll probably almost catch you. Every single person lapped me multiple times.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And then I kept getting hit. And I didn't know if I should go wide. It's not bumper cars. You're not allowed to do that. No, I know. Every time someone hit me, the whole track had to stop. Who was hitting you? Was it Carwin? No, Carwin was also that. No, I know. Every time someone hit me, the whole track had to stop. Who was hitting you? There was...
Starting point is 00:19:25 Was it Carwin? No. Carwin was also scared. I was also scared. I don't know what my time was. I was second to last. What other activities have you come last in? So then we did a laser tag, and the first game was just two teams,
Starting point is 00:19:38 like one team versus one team. And our team came last, and I got the lowest points in our team. Because of you. Yes, because of you. Well, I didn't know that you couldn't shoot your own team so I was just shooting everyone. Why are you shooting
Starting point is 00:19:48 your own team? Because you didn't try. Surely friendly fire was off. You don't, no you don't. Yeah, but it would deactivate them apparently. Even if you shoot, no, that's, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:19:55 And then you'd get, someone would come around the corner and you'd shoot and then you'd be like, oh, sorry, you're on my team. They're on your team. Yeah. Always get your target
Starting point is 00:20:02 before you take the shot. You've always got to. I would just fire Willy and Nilly. I was just fire Willie and Nellie. I was firing Willie and Nellie. Okay. And what else did you come? Well, we did a second game of laser tag and we had to play in pairs.
Starting point is 00:20:12 And Carmen and I were the least competitive worst, I would say. So we paired up just so we wouldn't annoy another competitive person. No, you shouldn't have. You needed a more powerful being next to you. Yeah. Well, we lost hard. Hard. You should have camped.
Starting point is 00:20:25 You just find a corner and you just, and then back to back, and you just shoot everybody you see. That's what everyone else did, but we just kept shooting each other on accident. Right. Okay, God, this is not good. What else did you lose in?
Starting point is 00:20:37 Well, then we did another game of go-karting. And you lost in that too? Yeah. And what else? Just those four games. Okay. I will say Ross Boss did get a formal warning during go-karts. What did he do?
Starting point is 00:20:48 So that was my highlight. He kept pressing the brake and the accelerator at the same time and the lady yelled at him and hit the sign. When do you ever do that in life? You never do that. One foot controls both of those. Yeah. It was a pretty cool track though.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Like the girl that was watching from that worked there could like control everyone and she'd just like like, turn your speed down if you were bumping into people. Yeah. Oh, standard fare. Every time I went past her, she was being so nice. She goes, keep going, doll.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Oh, you've got a patronising doll. And then at the end, because I got a really big crash at one point, she came over and she's like, are you all right? And I was like, yeah, and she goes, are you really all right? I'll tell you what you didn't lose in though. Your dignity? I think I lost it.
Starting point is 00:21:30 The prayer circle, which I assume happened at this youth group. Because there's no losers in God's eyes. No, there's not. Kumbaya, my Lord. Kumbaya. Oh, cool. Bye. Play.
Starting point is 00:21:46 ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. From the panoramic ZM think tank, this is the top six. Okay, we joked that it's cold in Australia, but yesterday in Canberra, yeah, it was negative seven degrees Celsius. Jesus, really? Yeah. Every day my mum sends a little temperature from Italy. And then I send a temperature from Auckland. Twelve, whatever.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Yeah. And then my brother sent yesterday from Melbourne three. And he was like, it's cold. Melbourne gets cold. Yeah. Because it's on the same longitude as Wellington. Is that right? About that.
Starting point is 00:22:21 About that. So it does get like quite cold in Melbourne. But never like that bad in Sydney. No, Sydney's beachy.

Starting point is 00:25:25 Yes, because they will not be happy. Homosexuals love an iced coffee. Yeah, I know, but their internal temperature runs a bit cold.

Starting point is 00:26:04 It'll get bigger. That is today's sub-sense. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. So this is straight from New Zealand ourselves, basically. This was a study that was conducted on sports enthusiasts. Okay. Would you call yourself a sports enthusiast? I'm enthusiastic about my sport.
Starting point is 00:26:24 I would not call myself a sports enthusiast. I'm enthusiastic about my sport. I would not call myself a sports enthusiast. I'll jump on the bandwagon every now and again. I'm an Olympic watcher. Yep. Yeah. Watch a bit of cricket. Gymnast... I was going to say gymnasians.

Starting point is 00:26:55 Okay. Yeah. But we know that New Zealand is a sports-mad country. Oh, absolutely. So this study asked a lot of sports- Kiwis. A number of questions. 55% of New Zealand sports fans would miss work to watch an important game. Yeah. Pull a sickie.
Starting point is 00:27:12 37% would gladly skip a birthday or other family event to watch their favourite team play. But it's hard. You don't want to miss a good game. Yeah. I love watching a good game. It's like when there's an All Blacks game on when there's a wedding and everyone's like,
Starting point is 00:27:25 we've got to have a TV now, don't we? Oh, no. Oh, my God. And then the MC gets up and he's like, hi, everybody. I'm just going to let you know
Starting point is 00:27:33 we will not have any talk of the rugby because there's quite a few people who are recording it to watch afterwards. Yeah, so if you could just keep the score out of your mouth, that'd be great.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And this is the fact that I want to talk about. 33% of New Zealand sports enthusiasts have named one or more of their children after their favourite sports teams or player. Okay. So I'm going like, what's some example? Richie? Ruby.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Our dog's called Richie. After Richie. His full name is Richie McCaw. Yeah. Seriously? Yeah. He was name is Richie McCaw. Seriously? Yeah. He was named after Richie McCaw by the people that had him before us. But you just call him Richie? We just call him Richie.

Yeah, okay. You might be... Not that it has to be a wacky name or something like that. But maybe we could take some calls and get some messages
Starting point is 00:29:13 of are you named after a famous person? Producer Shannon at the social media desk, Shanley Pajamas, I think we mentioned this. Weren't you named after a rugby player? Yeah, my parents were just watching the rugby and saw a guy named Shannon and they were like, that's good.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Yeah, we'll go with that one. What team was he from? I think he was Irish or something. Oh yeah, that's great. They didn't have an affinity to the player or anything. They just saw his name
Starting point is 00:29:36 on the telly and were like, oh yeah, that could be a good girl's name for a daughter. That's also something to take into consideration is that they may have
Starting point is 00:29:44 been influenced. Yeah, yeah. Not specifically named after that sports player, but influenced by it. Yeah, totally. I definitely think we'd love to take some calls on this this morning. Are we doing just any famous person? I reckon we will.

Starting point is 00:32:56 after Adavinda De Silva. Right. Yes. I remember that name. Mother said no, because she's Kiwi, and she said that's going to be too hard to pronounce, so I got named after Dion Nash instead. So you're Dion of Dion Nash? Yep. Oh my God.

Starting point is 00:34:51 and you yourself do not like feet. This is a problem. I can't stand it. Yeah, see, I don't think you've thought about this, Hayley, when you start your OnlyFans with your feet. People like Christy wouldn't sign up. Christy, I wouldn't make Christy subscribe.

Starting point is 00:35:09 I don't actually know. I've never actually thought about doing it. Yeah, I think so. Christy Brown was an Irish writer and painter who had cerebral palsy and was able to write and type and paint with his toes. Wow. Sorry to say toes around you, Christy.

Starting point is 00:40:59 I'm like, Celebrity Treasure Island. That's all I think. Oh, yes. Right? Because you see someone be like, hey, I just need to take a bit of time out for a couple of months.

You see someone be like, hey, I just need to take a bit of time out for a couple of months and then they announce they're on Celebrity Treasure Island. Oh, you're doing Celebrity Treasure Island. Yeah, I love when the rumours start when that happens. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Yeah, there's another sort of person who will just disappear silently and it's the person that wants everybody to start talking about them and be like, where have they gone?

Starting point is 00:41:42 62% of people have not. Yes. Erin, I take one every year from Christmas to New Year's Day, mainly because I don't want to see people shit about their holidays and gifts, but it's also a good time for a hard social media detox. Yes. Yeah, good call. Good call, that.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Or people having a better Christmas than you, and it feels like a competition sometimes. Sounds like they didn't get Crisco Christmas ham. Yeah.

Yeah, must be nice.
Starting point is 00:42:14 I'm your on mute. Laura says, yes, but probably this is the first time I've ever told anybody about it. So there you go.

Starting point is 00:42:59 Oh. Oh, maybe that's why she hasn't taken a break. I thought it was a huge part of her job to take a break, but maybe it's a huge part of her job to use it so she can't take a break. Oh, right. Because she always has to be on. I thought it was a huge part of her job to take a break, but maybe it's a huge part of her job to use it so she can't take a break. No, I like reading it the other way. Yeah. What job forces you to stay away?
Starting point is 00:43:13 Celebrity Treasure Island. Probably somebody who works on Celebrity Treasure Island. Yeah, all that as well.

Starting point is 00:44:38 Star-studded cast, Samuel L. Jackson, Olivia Colman, Samuel L. Jackson. Who's got an eye patch. Who's got an eye patch. He's got an eye patch. Yes, he does. I started watching it and I was like, oh, God, he looks good. Olivia Colman, Emilia Clarke from Game of Thrones. Now, the idea of the Chauvin, for those that don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Yes, the Skrull are an alien race that can shapeshift. So they are among us. And they are moving around, messing with our politics. And Samuel L. Jackson's character, Nick Fury, is back to try to sort this whole situation out. He'll sort it out. He'll our politics. And Samuel L. Jackson's character, Nick Fury, is back to try to sort this whole situation out. He'll sort it out. He'll sort it out. Samuel L. Jackson.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Exactly. He'll sort stuff out. Joining us to play this morning, Secret Stash, Jen, good morning. Good morning, guys. Good morning. And also, Paige, good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Now, let's start with you, Jen. What would you like the money for today? Because we have $500 that you can either steal or you can split it with Paige. Now, if both of you steal, you go home empty-handed. So there is an incentive there to split. But if one of you steals and the other doesn't, you'll get $500. Which you know feels better than $250. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:45:44 That's all you're saying. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. Jen, why do you need the money? So I have been putting off going to the dentist probably since pre-COVID. Dude, wow. Because it's just like an expense that you just can't, you know, like it just doesn't feel like something you want to spend money on. No, it's such boring money, eh?
Starting point is 00:46:00 Yeah, it doesn't feel like you're getting anything for it. But, I mean, long-term health is probably more important. Jen, I absolutely, totally agree. The cost and the telling off I thought I was going to get from the dentist, like that, but there was none of the telling off. Yeah. And the cost wasn't as bad as I thought. But you were pretty lucky.
Starting point is 00:46:18 But I also punched myself in the face falling off a bus. And got some ACC. And cracked a tooth. Yeah. So thank you to ACC for taking care of that. Yes. But I think you beat Jen because Jen's what, a couple of years? You were 12.
Starting point is 00:46:31 I was nearly 13 years. Okay, so the dentist never cheap, Jen. So that's a good reason to want some money. Paige, why do you want the money? There's probably a lot nicer reason in mind, but I'm actually going on a three-month holiday to Europe with my boyfriend. Oh, must be nice.
Starting point is 00:46:48 I feel bad for having a luxury when someone just wants a simple health care. I know. I know. I actually work in health care, so I'm thinking, oh, crap, that sounds a lot better. No. Everyone needs a holiday. Paige, how long have you been with the boyfriend for? Is this your first big, like, trip overseas?
Starting point is 00:47:03 This is our first big trip. We've been together seven years. A lot of COVID there and your time together. I was going to say because the big holidays are always a test of a relationship, aren't they? But you've been together through COVID. That's probably more of a test than a Europe holiday.
Starting point is 00:47:19 You could always leave him at home like I've done previously on work trips when we've been overseas. That's a test. I think he'd be mad if I went to the Rugby World Cup without him. Okay, she's a Rugby World Cup trip. Yeah, okay, right, okay. Well, I mean, that's not going to be cheap either, is it, Paige?
Starting point is 00:47:37 No, I'm telling you, it's not at all. Right, let's put... Jen into the cone of silence. Paige. Oh my gosh, Jen. Jen cannot hear us. Jen is the one that wanted to, you know, go to the dentist. That's not going to be cheap.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Paige, neither is Europe. What are you leaning towards, splitting or stealing the money? There's part of me that really wants to steal, but I just went to the dentist myself, so I feel like I would split it. She's a total stranger. Her teeth aren't your responsibility. Oh my god, I'm the devil.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I'm the devil on the shoulder. Hayley Jane. Hayley Jane Sproul. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So, Paige, that is your final decision, is it, to split? You know, if I do something good, I'll hopefully get something good back.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Karma, baby. We'll go split. Locking and split. Okay. You're such positivity. We're going to bring her out of the cone of silence. Paige, why don't you tell Jen what you've decided for split or steal? I decided to split.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Yay! Jen, what did you decide? I decided to split too. Yay! Women supporting women. Look at that, uplifting, isn't it? Oh, I love it. I feel great.
Starting point is 00:49:01 That's our first split this week. Fletcher's face is making that weird look again. I just know how expensive the dentist is in Europe. I would have sold them. But then if you'd both stolen, there'd be nothing. But now they both walk away. She's not going to the dentist. Did you say dentist and Europe or dentist in Europe?
Starting point is 00:49:15 Oh, God, now that's expensive. Actually, Paige. Imagine if that's the twist. Jen's like, I'm actually going to Europe to have my dental work done. I wish, I wish. Hey, congratulations, Jen and Paige. You both pick up $250 cash each. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks, Jen. All thanks to Marvel Studios' Secret Invasion, an original series streaming now exclusively on Disney+. Whakaronga mai, guys. I've got a hell of a story for you. This is wild. Sit down, grab a cuppa.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Done. You're not. I'm kneeling on my chair as I can. You do have a cuppa. I've got my wine water. Yeah, and I've got a salinky. I was going to have a broccoseco and I totally forgot. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:05 I'll go broccoseco. That's where to have a broccoseco and I totally forgot. Okay. I'll go broccoseco. That's where you have a brocca with just a hint of champagne. Now, there was a woman who married a man 15 years older than herself when she was 22 years old. So he was 37, right? No, I don't see a big problem with that, to be fair. She's of age. There's a bit of an age gap.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Some problems will arise. Well, something did. Maybe because something didn't arise. He had to stick to cancer. He was diagnosed months after they got married, right?
Starting point is 00:50:32 Right. And so how long have they been married for? Does it say how long? They had been married just for a few months when he got the cancer. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Yeah, when she was young. And she's a life coach, right? So she's like all about life positivity. And she was sharing, you know, looking back. I'm not a huge fan of her at this stage. You don't like positivity. I'll put it on paper. So after three months into the marriage,
Starting point is 00:50:57 she was diagnosed with testicular cancer. And she was like, right, we're going to do this battle. And then the battle got worse and worse and worse. And, you know, like it's a long, horrible journey to watch someone go through cancer. And after five years, she was like, I'm out. So at this stage, he's not cured. He's still got the cancer. Well, she was like, the cancer aside, I rushed into this marriage.
Starting point is 00:51:23 I wasn't really into it. And then he got diagnosed. I felt bad for a while, so I stayed for as long as I could. And then, you know, the critical illness, it was just sort of made it all worse. And so she left. I think before, he was totally in the clear.
Starting point is 00:51:39 He's in the clear now? He's alive. Okay. Don't worry about it. So he hasn't died? No, he hasn't died. So she dumped him while he had cancer? Yeah. Wow. So, and the part about it is, I mean, like, you know, you're all, you've got to seek your own happiness, I understand. But the part about it is because she's a life coach,
Starting point is 00:51:55 she's online being like, yeah, and what? Like, I don't regret it and I'll do it again time and time again. I'm number one. Like, you've got to put yourself forward. Yeah, right. I mean, she did give it a good whack. Like, she was there five years. Her whole thing was like, no one, like, when your partner has cancer,
Starting point is 00:52:11 nothing is about you anymore. Right. And she struggled with it. And was she saying he wasn't positive throughout? Was he? I was like, no, he was positive for cancer. Yeah, the dude's got to stick with cancer. It would be hard to have a bright smile on your face.
Starting point is 00:52:23 I know it would be hard. She just said five years of all the treatments, everything being about him and his cancer, she's like, it just took its toll. And it was the fifth year that she was like, I'm going to leave. God, I couldn't, hey, you just couldn't dump someone. She said someone is basically
Starting point is 00:52:38 dying next to you. Yeah, you can't dump someone with cancer. You feel like your own well-being is absolutely meaningless now. Oh, I'm sorry, guys. He died. He died. I beg your pardon.
Starting point is 00:52:51 I beg one's pardon, ma'am. Correction to my earlier statement. He died. He died. Okay. But she'd do awesome before he died. Because you don't have to do awesome before it's said to you. Why did she ever want to talk about this?
Starting point is 00:53:06 This seems like one of those things that keeps you up every now and then at night and you're like, oh, my God, I'm a bad person. You don't tell extra people about it. It blows my mind what bad things people do that they're like, oh, no, it's fine. And you know that you might think it is, but the majority of people aren't going to. And then they go online and be like, guys. The whole thing is that she doesn't regret it.
Starting point is 00:53:28 She was like, the reaction from society has been horrific. Well, why remind them? Why remind them that you left your dying husband because his cancer journey took away from your life. Anyway, look, he's dead and she divorced him. I want to know if you were ever ruthlessly dumped. Now,
Starting point is 00:53:51 I'm not saying she's done something wrong here, each to their own, but it's ruthless. It's ruthless. Like, it's a lot. When were you ruthlessly dumped? I'm not, is it a friend or a friend of a friend Who's This is how urban legends start
Starting point is 00:54:08 I know, I know And I've got such loose detail That friend of the friend knows that they did the moon landing in a warehouse Yes, yes That's what I wanted to bring up right now I think a friend of mine got dumped in the morning And that afternoon her mum died And then the boyfriend was like
Starting point is 00:54:24 Lipsy-dipsy Was it on the cards though? That mum was going to pass? dumped in the morning and that afternoon her mum died. And then the boyfriend was like, lipsy lipsy. Was it on the cards though? That mum was going to pass? I don't think so. Or was it an accident? It was an accident. He wasn't to know. It still feels rude. If you flip that around and mum died in the morning and he dumped her in the evening
Starting point is 00:54:40 then that's bad. Like at least wait a week. A week, Fletch. Three. Yeah, but it's like you said to Dizzy Rascal, would you rather be stabbed eight times at once or have them drawn out over the time? You know, individually, some people might like to deal
Starting point is 00:54:54 with all of their grief on one day. He did not take that well. He didn't take it well. All right, I'm glad I wasn't here for that. He has been stabbed eight times or however many times. Yeah, of course. Would you rather you could have it all at once or spread it out? Spread it out.
Starting point is 00:55:09 But it's like people that have accidents and they end up, I don't know, with a broken back or a broken leg and then the girlfriend or boyfriend's like. Yeah, totally. Or they can't chase you out of the house being like, wait, wait. Can they? It's a great time to break up with someone when you just deliver the news and then leave the room. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Well maybe you've got a story like this maybe another way that your breakup was so ruthless. Just at the worst time maybe you'd lost someone or you were going
Starting point is 00:55:34 through something. Maybe they were driving into your house and they ran over your cat and they came in and said hey I ran over your cat and you're like oh my god
Starting point is 00:55:40 and they're like I was coming here to tell you they don't want to be with you anymore. We want to know when you were ruthlessly broken up with. you anymore. We want to know when you were ruthlessly broken up with. I mean, maybe you want to call up and say you did a ruthless breaking up. That's up to you.
Starting point is 00:55:51 We want to share that. Absolutely. But the story is about a woman who entered a marriage she wasn't really sure about and then three months later he got testicular cancer. So she was like, well, no, I can't leave. But then eventually she did. I mean, she did stay for five years. Yeah, she did well. But the cancer battle lasted longer than that.
Starting point is 00:56:08 But dumping someone with cancer, that's ruthless. Ruthless. So we want to know, when you were ruthlessly dumped? A lot of messages in. There are some ruthless messages. My fiancé at that time dumped me the day after Valentine's Day and on Valentine's Day, my gift to him
Starting point is 00:56:24 was, I'm pregnant. Oh. Fiance. So, you know, like Yeah. Ring on the finger sort of like Yikes.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Yeah. Very You got dumped on Christmas Eve didn't you? Christmas Day. Christmas Day. Yeah, Vaughn got dumped on Christmas Day.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Oh, that's right. Hold on. Yeah. I'm okay. It was 20 I think I'm okay now. It'll be 23 years this Christmas. He still doesn't want to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:56:45 There isn't a Christmas that goes by that he doesn't at least think about it. Yeah. Just for a second. Especially when it rains on Christmas because it was raining. Yeah. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 00:56:53 That is sad. Tracy, when were you ruthlessly dumped? Morning, guys. So this was about 15 years ago when I was in the thick of uni. Yeah. And he took me out for dinner knowing that I had two 50% exams the next day and another one the following day,
Starting point is 00:57:14 and he dumped me the night before I was full of all of my exams. Oh, that is so taxing. Yeah, he goes, you've got to wait. I don't understand why people pay for dinner and then dump you. Like, dump them. Oh, no, he didn't pay. I'm pretty sure he didn't pay. I'm pretty sure we still split it.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Those are all the red flags. And the worst thing is, a month later, I still took them back. Oh, Tracey. It didn't work out. How long did it last when you took them back the month later? Oh, let's say a year. Did you pass your exams, more importantly? Oh, let's say a year. Did you pass your exams, more importantly?
Starting point is 00:57:49 I passed my exams, but only just. Okay, well, C's get degrees, baby. It was in between tears. What's he doing now? Do you know what he's doing with himself now, or is he a distant memory and you never see anything? He's a distant memory. He lives in another part of New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:58:06 but I lived in London for about five years, and on my first week there, I heard someone call out my name, and it turned out to be him. No, get out. Don't find him. God damn it. I was like, get out of my life. Get out of my life.
Starting point is 00:58:16 I've moved to London. Get out of my life. Tracy, thank you. Some messages in. Somebody said, I got dumped outside my parents' house on Valentine's Day so he could go back to his ex. Oh.
Starting point is 00:58:26 My wannabe ninja boyfriend at the time dumped me to join the circus. How do you want to be a ninja? Oh, okay. No, there's no place
Starting point is 00:58:34 for ninjas in the circus. The circus is for clowns. It's not nunchucks. You're thinking of the Japanese Royal Guard. Surely, but that samurai and then they become disgraced and they become ninjas.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Is that correct? God, I don't know. I'm not sure of the order of things. Are you sure he didn't run away to join the Japanese Imperial Guard? He may have. Also, does everyone sort of fundamentally want to be a ninja? Yeah, dude. You know, that's not a new idea, bro.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Yeah, like run. There's a fence. You've got to jump and you run up the wall and jump over the fence. Oh, a ninja. Oh, man, I sent Fletch some great parkour yesterday. Well, please don't let me out of future parkour. It was a middle-aged woman's first day at the job and she was really
Starting point is 00:59:08 giving it everything. She lines everything up like she's about to do actual parkour and then she just does these little hips. It's good stuff. Kim messaged us saying she got broken up with on the first day of lockdown. So she couldn't even go
Starting point is 00:59:24 around to explain herself. No. Or were they locked in together? Oh. Yeah, people that did that, you were like. Save it, man. Because at least you can still be having a little. Vanessa said the ex got me and my sister tickets to Taylor Swift in 2018.
Starting point is 00:59:42 But then we broke up and he took the tickets back. Now this, I feel, is going to be followed up with any chance of tickets to Australia? Have you got any tickets? Have you heard from anybody? There's been a few messages already. Got any tickets? Got any tickets?
Starting point is 00:59:53 Michelle said, in a game of truth or dare with my whole year group, he broke up with me. Now, I don't know if that was a truth or a dare. It would be truth. Truth is I don't want to be with you. Or dare I dare you to break up with her. And he's like, yep, done.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Because he pre-organised it. Has anybody messaged through breaking up over an illness or an accident? Gigi got dumped during a David Attenborough documentary. That's got to be hard to swallow because penguins mate for life. Yeah. Hold on, let me go through. Someone said my mum was diagnosed with leukaemia 2019. Sorry to hear that.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Six months into the journey, her partner of seven years said Someone said my mum was diagnosed with leukaemia 2019. Sorry to hear that. Six months into the journey, her partner of seven years said he had put his life on hold for too long and they broke up. Ruthless. That's ruthless. I got my wisdom teeth out via surgery. My boyfriend dumped me that night via text. That would be hard to do.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Hard to comprehend because you're like, me, me, me, me. And you'd wake up in the morning just thinking it was an anesthetic hallucination. He'd turn up at his door like, hey, baby. I'm feeling so much better. Yeah. Do you remember?
Starting point is 01:00:50 He's like, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. My ex took me away for a holiday. We drove for four hours. Did the dirty. Did the dirty. Okay. Did the dirty. I haven't heard it called that.
Starting point is 01:01:01 So funny. Did the dirty. And then right after doing the dirty, he broke up with me. No, I think you say when you do the dirty when it's not with someone else and not you. No, no, no. You did the deed. You did the dirty. I think doing the dirty is sleeping with someone you shouldn't be sleeping with.
Starting point is 01:01:15 Yeah, it is. Doing the deed is doing each other. No, they're doing the dirty. No, they're not. They're doing the dirty. They're having roomty-pumpties. They're doing the dirty dance. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:22 I had to tell the owners of the Airbnb a family member had died, and we had to drive home together knowing he'd broken up with me. Oh. That sucks. What? What? Don't break up with someone on a destination trip. Oh, my God. Did you see this?
Starting point is 01:01:36 I just had surgery for endo. Very painful. Woke up to his mum visiting me in hospital telling me he wasn't coming in because he was cheating on me and didn't want to be with me anymore. Now, did the mum come in as like, I like you and I respect you and I found this out and I need to tell you or he was like, mummy, I need you to
Starting point is 01:01:54 do me something. I don't know. More info, please. 521. Yeah, probably. It sounds like one of those guys that gets mum to call in sick for work too. Like, do you remember when Hayley got Aaron to call in sick? Yeah. That was really nice though. I couldn't speak. I was exhausted. She was exhausted
Starting point is 01:02:07 from the vomiting and the diarrhea. And then it bumped into me and I might have died. I was unwell. My ex left me on the side of the road on the way to my dad's funeral.
Starting point is 01:02:18 What? No, not then. Leave them on the side of the road, take them to the church. Not then. Rachel, when were you ruthlessly dumped?
Starting point is 01:02:28 Long story short, I shattered all the bones and broke my feet. How? I know you said long story short, but I feel like this is crucial information. Crucial. Oh, it's such a dumb story. I don't know. Hey, Doi, you were drunk. We getcial. Oh, it's such a dumb story. I don't know. You were drunk. We get it.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Yes, yes. And yeah, so I broke all the bones in both of my feet within like in hospital for a long time. And yeah, he just, I think he just got over the fact that I couldn't do anything for myself and needed help. And yeah, he just ended it. You're too lazy for him. Oh my God, how did you do everything for yourself then when he left?
Starting point is 01:03:08 I had to get some help in. You probably didn't need help wiping your bum if you've broken your feet. I'd just go straight to the shower. Yes, I would just stand there for myself. It was just getting to and from places that was the big thing, yeah. And how long have you been together? We were together for four years.
Starting point is 01:03:31 That's two years each foot. Per foot. That's two. That's not good. What if we work it out per toe? That makes it a little easier. What's your per foot relationship?
Starting point is 01:03:46 At the moment, well, 19 years. So you've got nine and a half years per foot. Nine and a half per foot. Nine and a half. I'm six years per foot at the moment. Right. So what's the level of breakup? Well, I think break both feet and both hands,
Starting point is 01:04:08 and I would accept Aaron leaving me. Both feet. I've got six years per foot. You can't do it. You can't do it. You can't go. No, definitely. That's the rules.
Starting point is 01:04:15 That's not how it works. It's six years per foot, bro. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I'm going to need my aux cord up for today's Fact of the Day. DJ Vornox. I would like to, thank you, I would like to also thank Lily for today's Fact of the Day. DJ Vornox. I would like to, thank you,
Starting point is 01:04:45 I would like to also thank Lily for submitting this Fact of the Day. Lily from Big Save? Not Lily from Big Save. Lily from The Bachelor. Lily from The Family King. Okay. She suggested this and she said, I don't know if you've done this as Fact of the Day.
Starting point is 01:04:59 What about my fact? I sent a good Fact of the Day to the group chat last night. It was shit. What was it? That guy that parked the car at last night. It was shit. What was it? That guy that parked the car at the airport. It was very funny. That sounds like more of one of your 650 breaks,
Starting point is 01:05:11 to be honest. Now, this is a prime time break. 650, man. You've just been demoted to 620 AM. Wow. That is a 620 AM show break. Tomorrow at 620. The 650 was the top six. So you technically got 6.50 today.
Starting point is 01:05:28 Tomorrow on the show at 6.20, I've got a story about how a guy got back at his ex-girlfriend. Actually, you know what? It's a primal topic. We could have, how did you, because today we talked about the ruthless thumping. Tomorrow on the show we're going to talk about how did you get back at an ex. What about a 7.07?
Starting point is 01:05:43 What about a 7.07? We could do a 7.07. Okay, well, stay tuned tomorrow, talk about how did you get back at an ex. What about a 707? What about a 707? We could do a 707. Okay. Stay tuned tomorrow, listeners, for a floating break that completely depends on what content
Starting point is 01:05:51 we can scrape from the bottom of the barrel for the rest of the show as to where that break about revenge on an ex will sit. Fantastic.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Lily sent me this in and I love it when I get a fact of the day submission that we haven't had before. Okay. And actually tied in because she said, have you heard of Listermania?
Starting point is 01:06:10 To which I was like, yes. The Phoenix song. It's one of my favourite songs, and we played it. It was at my wedding, and it was in my wedding video. So this song. It's a great song. I love this band. One of my favourite bands.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Puppy Little Number. And I said, yeah, I thought immediately I've heard of the song. But do you know what Listermania is? No. It is the first documented extreme fan frenzy. I thought it was when you, you know, when you swallow Listerine by mistake and you're like, and then you're a little bit, whoa. And you're like, am I going to die now?
Starting point is 01:06:42 Or just have a really good night. Yeah. So Listermania was intense fan frenzy directed at Hungarian composer Franz Linz during his performances. You're telling me a conductor has groupies? I love Liszt. Yeah, I've never heard anything he's done. Do you know anything? Has he ever been using a bank ad? That's where I know most of my classical music from.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Franz Liszt, Hungarian Rhapsody? Well, my classical music from. Hungarian Rhapsody? Well, is that like Bohemian Rhapsody? I liked my Rhapsody's Bohemian. Hang on. I don't know if I can play it. You'll know it. I'm plugged in. I could play it. But I'm...
Starting point is 01:07:20 Was that you playing it? Or just somebody playing it? No, it's a piano playing it. She doesn't have a piano in front of her. No, I thought she moved her fingers. I was like, do you have an app that's a piano? I thought you were just pressing the keys. No, I just keep a piano stored under me at all times. You know some of Lest.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Lestomania was characterized by the hysterical reaction of his concerts. His playing was reported to raise the mood of the audience to all at the time what was considered mystical ecstasy. Oh, wow. Doesn't that sound nice? So this is how you describe
Starting point is 01:07:51 any fans at any concert. So the reason Lily sent me in is the Swifties situation, like when it just popped off and everyone was just like scrambling to book tickets and losing their mind and everyone goes to the concert
Starting point is 01:08:01 and even people that can't go to the concert stand outside the concert and listen from the car park and they're crying and they've got outfits and everyone goes crazy frenzies. That's Listermania. Bieber fever was another one. Beatlemania?
Starting point is 01:08:11 Beatlemania was another one. So they would do things like swarm over him. At the end of his concerts, he used to throw his handkerchiefs in his gloves and there were fistfights over it. Good list. Snotty hankies. Yeah. I guess he patted his brow during his ferocious piano playing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:27 They would wear his portrait on brooches and cameos. Oh, yeah. It was like cameo creams. No, cameos. I remember my granddad used to buy my nan cameos. My nan had cameos. It was like a peach background with a white sort of side profile on the face. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:08:42 They were like a badge. Oh, okay. But they weren't a brooch. Brooch? Brooch. They weren't a talking about? They were like a badge. Oh, okay. But they weren't a brooch. Brooch? Brooch. They weren't a brooch. They were like a portrait of somebody.
Starting point is 01:08:50 Remember these? No, I've got no idea. They're either in a blue or peach background. Right. Yeah. Okay. They were cute.
Starting point is 01:08:56 It was like a carving or something. Right. I mean, you could whip that up on a 3D printer like that nowadays. But back in the day it was quite full on.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Now you'd buy a $60 t-shirt. Yeah. Yeah, you don't need a brooch. A woman would storm the stage to try to get locks of his hair. Whenever he broke a piano string, the person would come in and replace it and he'd throw it into the crowd and they'd make bracelets out of them. Oh my God, like how drummers break drumsticks.
Starting point is 01:09:17 Okay, I'm going to need to see a photo. How hot was this guy? He's not hot at all. They used to sell his coffee dregs. Right. Yeah, he once threw an old cigar, I mean, littering, but he threw it onto the street, and this lady ran out, picked it out of the gutter, put it in a locket,
Starting point is 01:09:33 and it surrounded it with a monogram that said FL for his name, for its list. Dude, I take it back. He's hot. She got that around there in diamonds. France is hot, baby. You've got to remember what people looked like back in the day. Yeah. Look at that.
Starting point is 01:09:50 I mean, he didn't have a goiter. He didn't have a huge goiter in his neck, which immediately makes him a 7 out of 10. He does look like David Guetta. He looks like David Guetta. Well, he was the 1800s David Guetta. Franz is hot. Franz is hot, man.
Starting point is 01:10:02 Yeah. All right. So he was a hot boy, and everyone went crazy over him, and it was the first documented evidence of people just losing their minds at musical performance and absolutely fangirling over somebody. So today's fact of the day is this was also at my wedding. I just pushed it on the wedding playlist. Aw, cute.
Starting point is 01:10:19 You still got a wedding playlist. It's happiness. Hey, Hayley, do you remember the song at the concert? No, I was too drunk. I was not conscious at this point. So today's fact of the day is Listermania
Starting point is 01:10:37 is the first ever intense fan frenzy documented at Hungarian composer and apparently a hell of a piano player, Franz Lintz. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Well, yesterday, the big news, Taylor Swift playing in Feb next year Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Well, yesterday, the big news, Taylor Swift playing in Feb next year in Melbourne and in Sydney. The giant stadium, the giant stadium's there.
Starting point is 01:11:15 It is going to be insane. Tickets go on sale a week tomorrow. The general tickets, there will be a pre-sale next week. All those details are at ZM Online Plus. We've got a chance, as we've said, for you to win flights, tickets and a comm in Melbourne. You can text Taylor to 9696 for those details. But we asked on Instagram last night, has anybody, even before tickets have gone on sale,
Starting point is 01:11:35 booked flights, booked accommodation, have got the day off work? All the friends are in. Yeah. The plan is made. And the only bit missing is the tickets. Pages and pages and pages of responses. I know. Like people have already booked flights. I know.
Starting point is 01:11:49 And accommodation without tickets. I know. And Laura, we managed to track down Laura. Laura, you are one of these people that responded. When did you book flights in a comm? Hey, so yes, we saw the announcement when our alarms went off. Our group chat was set up by 6.20pm.
Starting point is 01:12:06 And we had flights and accommodations booked by 8am yesterday morning. Jesus! Were the flights cheap? Because did you go Sydney or Melbourne? We went to Melbourne. We're going to Melbourne. The flights were still on sale within New Zealand at the time. But we've actually since checked and the sale's finished now.
Starting point is 01:12:22 So we got in a good time. I think it finished yesterday at midnight. Yeah, I was looking at them and I was like, oh, sale's finished now. So we got in a good time. I think it finished yesterday at midnight. Yeah, I was looking at them and I was like, oh, that's not bad. Yeah. I mean, if there'd known about this, I probably would have. No, they wouldn't be there. They wouldn't be on sale. And you got hotels as well?
Starting point is 01:12:38 Yes, we did. So we booked four nights booked in Melbourne over the long weekend and it allows us to be able to get to hopefully get tickets on the Friday night or the Saturday night. So we're pretty flexible. So you just open? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, okay.
Starting point is 01:12:51 And now what happens, Laura, if you can't secure a ticket? I mean, we've got positive vibes, so we're not thinking like that at the moment. However, it will just be a girls' trip otherwise. So there's four of us girls. We decided, hey, look, there is a chance. You may not get tickets, but positive vibes.
Starting point is 01:13:10 Yeah, positive vibes only. Yeah. Oh, man. But see, now I'm stressed for you because you don't have the tickets. I'm stressed too. We don't have enough to give to you right now. Will the girlies, like, go and sit in the car park and listen, like people have been doing?
Starting point is 01:13:24 Yeah. Oh, definitely. We'll be outside the stadium, go and sit in the car park and listen like people have been doing? Yeah, oh, definitely. We'll be outside the stadium just listening and partying anyway. Oh, yeah. It'll still be such a great weekend, as you say. Yeah, it'll be a great vibe.
Starting point is 01:13:32 Yeah. I love the positivity. The Tay-Tays are positive. Well, Laura, not only you, Alex, good morning. You also did this yesterday, booked everything. Morning.
Starting point is 01:13:41 Yes, we did. We got the email. It came through at about 4.30am. So by 5am you know, well aware of what was going on. So how did you what was your sniff? What was your, or do you just wake up at 4.30 every morning and check your emails?
Starting point is 01:13:55 I wake up at 5 and check my emails. So there was a little bit of a lag time there. It could have been earlier. Right. Wait, you check your emails every day or you check them waiting for a Taylor Swift announcement? I check them every day so I know that there was going to be the Taylor announcement. Okay, and then so it's what, 5 o'clock yesterday morning, you were just panicking? I'm more excited than panicking.
Starting point is 01:14:17 I've got the chat going. We now have the War Room, Taylor's version for the girls' chat. Oh my God, I love this. So good. For all of the plans to keep it all in one place. And, yeah, we booked our accommodation for both Sydney and Melbourne just in case. Oh, that's good because you can book for free. You can cancel for free most of the time.
Starting point is 01:14:35 Yeah, absolutely. No prepayment. Book, like, free cancellation. We've got it covered. Okay. We've got a plan for the flights. But what did you, did you book, did you fly into Melbourne and out of Sydney? No, so we'll do two separate trips.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Oh, wow. So you've booked the flights for those as well? There's a plan for the flights. So on Saturday, we're going to book the flights with that, like hold the flights for $10 feature on Air New Zealand. Oh, that's smart. Because does that give you a week? Well, we've got Amex cards. So there's an Amex pre-sale on Monday.
Starting point is 01:15:09 Yes, there is. That's right, baby. That's right. Right. Get all the bases covered, yeah. Jeez, you've planned. You've really thought this out, hey? I don't think I've thought into anything.
Starting point is 01:15:19 Yeah, and then if you lose the flights, you just lose the hold money. Yeah, exactly. That's genius. Oh, my God lose the hold money. Yeah, exactly. That's genius. Oh, my God, genius. Genius. That's a sitter. Don't tell many people that.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Too late, too late. It's out now. Alex, well, hey, good luck. I'm still nervous for everybody here who's booked flights in common and doesn't have tickets yet. Me too, but I'm hopeful, and I think that's the positive. It's a forward-thinking, positive attitude. I like it.
Starting point is 01:15:42 So many shows and so many seats. Like, you've got to get in, surely. Yeah, but so many Swifties and one entire continent wanting them. Yeah, okay, you're joked. Yeah. Hey, good luck, Alex.
