Good morning, welcome to the show, Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.
So this whole submarine thing, right?
This is crazy.
It's so good.
Have you seen like photos of inside?
Absolutely not.
No way.
It's such a hard one.
Not getting in there. No way. And then this whole
Logitech $30 controller?
Yeah, no, that's also a no. It's controlled by
a Logitech $30 controller.
Yeah. There was a guy, I was reading
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
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. And one of the billionaires
that's on it who's missing's son was at a
Blink-182 concert when everyone was looking for his dad.
Yeah, yeah. The whole
thing. What, you're going to miss out on Blink 182 then?
I mean, you may never see them again.
Exactly. Are you going to Blink 182?
It's in the calendar.
They've got like 18
hours. Left.
Yeah, right. I mean, it's
yeah. If they do find them and open up,
there's going to be like poos and everything all through.
There's going to be so much poos in there.
There's going to be so much poos in there.
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.
Like it's been New Zealand cold in Australia.
Yeah.
Six degrees in Sydney, unheard of. I mean, obviously they've got a ski field. They've Zealand cold and Australia. Yeah. Six degrees in Sydney
unheard of.
I mean obviously
they've got a ski field
they've got Threadbow
where we lost
your Apple Care
representative that time.
That's right.
Sandy.
Sandy perished
at Threadbow.
She perished
at Perisher actually.
Perisher was it?
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.
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.
We had 50, started with 50 boxes.
Three are gone, so that's 47.
Is it?
Is it 41? 47 left. 41 plus three is 50. 48, 49, 50 that's forty-seven. Is it forty-one? Forty-seven left.
Forty-one plus three is fifty?
Yeah, forty-seven left.
You went to a private school.
You should be really good at maths.
Fifty minus three, so you carry the four.
After eight this morning, listen out for the
activator. You too can pick a
box from our HelloFresh great
wall of boxes and win. Yesterday, we gave
away like 700 bucks worth. Yeah, it was a lot. Of HelloFresh. It was really a lot win. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
$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,
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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...
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
About that.
So it does get like quite cold in Melbourne.
But never like that bad in Sydney.
No, Sydney's beachy.
So this is the lowest June temperature since 1986 for Canberra.
Sydney's CBD minimum temperature yesterday was 5.2 degrees Celsius.
Coldest June morning since 2010.
It has been
the lowest temperatures ever
felt and Sydney was
minus 1.4 and Canberra minus 10.
Minus 1 in Sydney?
Yeah. That's insane.
That's batty. Newcastle
was 4.3
and a whole lot of
record low temperatures. Wow.
For the year, for the last couple of years.
Everybody wants to move there, don't they?
Yeah.
Also, what global warming?
It's freezing.
Riddle me that.
Absolutely freezing.
Top six signs it's cold in Australia.
Things you'll see.
Number six on the list, jandals and socks.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, teaming those two.
You've got to stay in your jandals.
What do they call them?
Thongs.
Thongs, yeah.
You've got to really work that big toe, though. Yeah. With a sock. Well, that's Teaming those two. You've got to stay in your jandals. What do they call them? Thongs. Thongs, yeah. You've got to really work that big toe, though.
Yeah.
With a sock.
Well, that's why the Birks.
You go to the Birkin socks.
Oh, you'll never look back.
Socks and socks.
Socks and socks.
Yeah.
Number five on the list of the top six signs it's cold in Australia, koalas are wearing ponchos.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Oh, my God, that looks so cute.
They would look cute in ponchos.
Or a little koala in like a Kathmandu puffer.
Yes.
Yeah, puffer vest. Yeah. Because they want the freedom of their arms. Oh, you're true. Or a koala in like a Kathmandu puffer. Yes. Yeah, puffer vest.
Yeah.
Because they want the freedom of their arms.
Oh, you're true.
Or a koala in a beanie.
They'd look pretty good.
He'd put his ears in there.
Number four on the list of the top six signs it's cold in Australia.
The opera house is put on a cardigan.
Oh, my God.
Actually, Producer Jared, you've signed up to the AI thing, eh, with pictures.
Have you signed up?
Can you make it do a koala in a puffer jacket, please?
Puffer vest and a beanie.
A puffer vest.
Yep.
I'll get right onto that.
And a beanie.
Thank you.
I'll get right onto it.
And the Sydney Opera House is wearing a cardigan.
Yes.
So, request us in the Opera.
What colour cardigan?
Because that's four.
They've got four pinks.
I said pink because I was thinking the vest that Hayley's wearing.
I'm wearing a pink vest.
Lovely pink.
It's such a good pink.
Thank you.
We have a bright pink vest. Oh my God, thank you. Is that a hot pink? I call this hot pink before my show vest that Hayley's wearing. Lovely pink. It's such a good pink. Thank you. We have a bright pink vest.
Oh my God, thank you.
Is that a hot pink?
I call this hot pink before my shirt.
Yeah, it's hot pink.
Magenta.
You don't pay per search, right?
You just pay a fee?
I pay a monthly fee.
Okay, well, fine.
We'll all transfer 30 cents.
It sounds like you should be getting your money's worth out of this.
Yeah, I use it a lot.
Also, it sounds like Jared's put out by this.
You don't have to do anything apart from ask it, right?
Yeah, I just put in what I want
and then you spend like an hour
refining it until what you want.
Wow, you've got to change.
Give us the first draft.
Give us the first draft
of a koala wearing a puffer vest.
Puffer vest and a beanie.
Holding onto a tree?
Outside the Sydney Opera House.
Nah, that sounds like extra work
for AOM.
Just whatever the koala's doing,
we're happy.
Just in a tree.
You've got a beast
and a beanie.
I'm excited for this AI art.
Same.
And then the Opera House
in a cardigan.
Yeah.
Number three on the list
of the top six signs
it's cold in Australia,
the Sydney gays
are being forced
to have their coffee hot,
not iced.
Oh no.
You know it's cold
when the homosexuals
drink a hot coffee,
not an iced. Yes. Because they will not be happy. They won't be happy. Homosexuals drink a hot coffee, not an iced.
Yes, because they will not be happy.
Homosexuals love an iced coffee.
Yeah, I know, but their internal temperature runs a bit cold.
So if it gets down to a certain temperature, they've got to have the hot to bring it back up.
Number two on the list of the top six signs it's cold in Australia,
it's easy to spot the crocodiles because they've got chattering teeth.
Big chattering fangs.
And number one
on the list of the top six signs
it's cold in Australia,
the Great Barrier Reef
is experiencing shrinkage.
Oh no.
It's because it's cold?
It's because the water's cold.
It gets bigger when it's warmer.
It'll get bigger when it's warmer.
You'll go inside.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Totally, totally, totally.
I mean, parts of it
are dying off
because of sun bleaching,
but it'll get bigger.
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.
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.
Gymn...
You love gym...
Gymnastics.
I like event sports.
Like when the Olympics are on?
Or say the Super Bowl.
Yeah, like Olympic or the Super Bowl or like a big sporting event.
Yep. But you weren't up last night watching the State of O?
Nah.
That's the State of Origin.
I used to watch the State of Origin.
Oh, nice.
Nah.
I didn't have to get up early.
You might.
I might have.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
What about when you take him to the vet,
what do they put for the last name?
Smith.
Oh, okay.
Richie McCaw Smith.
No, just Richie Smith.
He's been officially adopted.
Richie Smith, wow.
Wow, so you just got rid of McCaw as the last name.
Changed his identity.
Wow.
Yeah. Wow, so you just got rid of McCaw, that's the last name. Changed his identity. Wow. Yeah.
Wow.
Powerful.
Because did this study also say
people would name their pets after?
See,
pets I can understand.
Yeah,
but humans.
Pets I can understand.
Humans.
I'm sure that growing up,
a friend had a cat called Inga
and it was after Inga the Winger.
Inga the Winger.
Yeah.
I named my cat Shaquille
after Shaquille O'Neal.
There you go. Yeah. Shaq. Yeah, Shaq after Shaquille O'Neal. There you go.
Yeah.
Shaq.
Yeah.
Shaq-a-tack.
Shaqie.
All right.
See, pets I can understand.
Naming pets after sports players.
Yeah.
But your kids?
But your kids.
But then you might be listening now and you might be named after a famous person.
You might be Michael Schumacher.
You might be John because of John Kirwan.
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
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.
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
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
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.
I think to open it up, we'll go famous.
So maybe you were named after a singer.
Maybe you're a Freddie.
There's lots of...
What about Rhiannon's that were named after the Fleetwood Mac song?
Rhiannon. You don't want it named after a song. You want it named after the person. L about Rhiannon's that were named after the Fleetwood Mac song? Rhiannon.
You don't want it named after a song.
You want it named after a person.
Lola, Layla, Rhiannon, get out of here.
You want them named.
Mustang Sally.
Mustang Sally.
I know so many Mustang Sallys.
So you only want to hear from people that are named after a famous person.
Play.
ZDM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play. ZDM. Are you named after a famous person? Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Ailey.
Play ZM.
Are you named after a famous person or did you name your child after a famous person?
Yeah, it turns out a lot of Kiwis have named kids or are named after famous sports people.
Yeah, if you identify as a sports fanatic, 33% of you are naming your kids after inspired
by a sports person.
But any famous person we will take.
Doesn't have to be sports.
We're getting a lot of messages, a lot of calls.
Let's start with Amber.
Amber, are you named after someone famous?
No, we named our son Boston after the Boston Celtics, the NBA team.
Oh, okay.
Can you get her off the phone, please?
Oh, because you're a Miami Heat.
Can you get her off the phone? Oh, Amber, sorry. Hayley's a Miami Heat. She's asking me to hang up on you. Yeah, okay. Can you get her off the phone, please? Well, because you're a Miami Heat. Can you get her off the phone? Oh, Amber,
sorry. Hayley's a Miami Heat. She's asking me
to hang up on you. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, we
beat you in your hometown. Goodbye.
Call us back when you rename your child
Heat or Miami.
Well, what's yours?
Milwaukee Bucks or Bucks.
Oh, Bucks would be a great first name.
Boston's a good
first name. Yeah, I like Boston as a name. Boston's a good first name.
Yeah, I like Boston as a name.
That's a great first name.
Yeah, terrible team, but I forgive you.
I called him Kobe after Kobe Bryant,
but we played beer pong and my husband won.
Oh, my God.
Is that how you decided the name?
Yeah, because I'm a big Lakers fan.
Oh, wow.
And so he won.
And so now your son is Boston, not Kobe.
Yeah.
Oh.
Amazing.
Thank you for sharing.
Katie, you and your siblings, both named after famous people.
Yeah.
So my brother is Keegan after Kevin Keegan, a very famous Liverpool football player.
Okay.
The other option was he was going to be called Michael,
after Michael Schumacher.
Yeah.
Good driver.
And the rest of us are literary names,
so I'm Katie Scarlett, after Katie Scarlett O'Hara.
Yeah.
My sister's Bronte Emily, after Emily Bronte.
Oh, Emily Bronte. Oh, yeah, okay.
Wow.
So they were really inspired by famous people.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I was going to be called Scarlet, just Scarlet O'Hara,
but my dad said it sounded like a prostitute's name.
Do you know what I was going to say?
It's a bit sexy.
It's a very...
It's a bit sexy.
It's a sexy alter ego is what it is.
I know that Katie's not sexy, but, you know, we don't know this.
Yeah, yeah.
Katie, thanks for your call.
Dion, you're named
after a famous sports person.
Yes, so I
am half Sri Lankan, half Kiwi,
and my dad wanted to name me Adavinda
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.
I hope Dion Nash was listening to that.
That would make you feel old, eh?
Hearing someone who is now an adult.
Listen to how deep his dude's voice is.
Yeah, I was named after you.
You can't be.
I'm so young.
Wow.
Oh, Dion, thanks for sharing.
Let's go to John.
John, your nephews are named after famous sports people.
Yeah, good morning.
Good morning.
I've got a nephew.
One of them is called Zinzan after Zinzan.
Oh, wow.
I think Zinzan is such a cool name.
What are the origins?
I always remember growing up just being like,
that is the coolest name ever.
That sounds like he made his name up on the spot.
Surely it's African.
It sounds like he got to make his own name up.
The name comes from a surname, Zinzane,
from a family from London and from Devon in England.
Zinzane Brooke's middle name is Valentine.
His name is Zinzane Valentine Brooke.
Oh, my God.
Great name.
And what about the other nephew?
The other one's called Rory. Rory McElroy. Oh, my God. Great name. Right, and what about the other nephew? The other one's called Rory.
I thought Rory McElroy.
Oh, the golfer.
Oh, the golfer.
Yeah.
He's a good golfer.
Great names.
Great names.
It works.
John, thanks.
Let's go to Christy.
You're named after, no,
is it you that's named after a famous person?
Yes, it's me.
So my parents came across a famous painter
and they really quite liked the name.
Now, the spelling of my name
is quite different to the normal
Christy, but I
was named after a famous painter
who had no
arms but painted with his toes.
Oh, I've never heard of it.
What's the name of the artist?
That's not the funny part is I actually hate feet.
So you're named after someone that used their feet primarily
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. Is this Christy Brown and wouldn't sign up. Yeah, but Christy, I wouldn't make Christy sign up.
Is this Christy Brown, the painter?
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.
Christy, thanks for your call
Some text messages in
Is there any artist that some people thought could be quite dangerous
But it turned out he was just a homeless
He had arms
Classic dad joke
He just didn't use them
Oh mate that guy's a homeless
No
I liked him
Christy Brown had arms guy's armless. No. I liked it.
Chrissy Brown had arms.
No, I didn't say arm.
I wasn't saying arm.
I was saying
some text messages.
I've got two grandsons,
Carter after Dan Carter
and Spencer after
Carlos Spencer.
Oh, wow.
All blacks, man.
My parents named
me, Olivia,
and my brother Keanu
after Olivia Newton-Jones
and Keanu Reeves.
There'd be so many Keanos from like the 90s.
Yeah.
That are now like in their 20s.
One of my daughters is a Keanu.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My name is Kelsey.
I'm named after Kelsey Grammer because mum and dad loved Frasier so much.
Oh my God, at least they didn't call you Frasier.
Or Niles.
Yeah.
No.
My husband's family is Sports Mad.
His nephews are Jordan.
I'm guessing after Michael.
Michael.
Danion.
Danion Loader.
Danion Loader, yeah.
Swimming fans.
Lennox.
Annie.
You've got to be it.
Walking on, walking on broken glass.
And Celtic.
Right.
After the Celtics.
I'm guessing the boss is Celtics. But then, yeah, Celtic is a first name. That's After the Celtics. I'm guessing the boss. Right.
Celtics.
But then, yeah, Celtic is a first name.
That's quite cool, actually.
I like that.
I'm named after Kylie Minogue's character off Neighbours, Charlene.
Charlene!
No, you are not. Oh, my God, iconic.
When pregnant in 2017, my husband suggested the name Carter.
I thought, that sounds okay.
And I only found out later on he meant Dan Carter
and I said no effing way
anyway Carter turns six soon
so happy birthday Carter
oh happy birthday Carter
Dad got his way
Dad got his way
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley
why are you upset with me?
what was it?
we were talking about
fine wine delivery
you were talking about how you'd finally tried your boyfriend's vodka.
Meili vodka.
Yeah.
I got some Meili vodka.
This is Jason Momoa's delicious vodka.
And you put up those stories on your Instagram,
full knowing that he would see them because he's been watching the stories.
I know how to bait.
She's a baiter.
I was wearing such cute outfit that day.
Someone said she's a master at the craft.
Yes.
I am a master of baiter. I was wearing such cute outfit that day. Someone said she's a master at the craft. Yes. I am a master of baiting.
Now, when we were telling this story, I said, fine wine delivery.
No, I believe we all said.
We all sung the jingle.
Fine wine delivery.
Duck, go down and say.
Advertiser on the show.
I've purchased from fine wine delivery.
We all have. They were great during lockdown. Yeah. I've purchased from Fine Wine Delivery. We all have.
They were great during lockdown.
Yeah.
To get you your boozy booze.
Dude, they were the quickest, right?
They were so quick.
Yeah, yeah, they were really quick.
Non-spawn, by the way, non-spawn.
Non-spawn.
Just landed it quick.
Yeah.
Anyway, so Fine Wine Delivery sent me a message.
They followed the whole memoir saga, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, the nation was following, weren't they, though?
I am the nation's princess.
They love me. They want this for me more than I want it for myself. Anyway, Fine nation was following, weren't they? I am the nation's princess. They love me.
They want this for me more than I want it for myself.
Anyway, Fine Wine Delivery, beautiful people.
They reached out to me and we're going to do a little collab
and they're going to send me some more vodka.
And I told you boys this.
And we were just like, well, we sung the jingle too.
We sang the jingle too.
Did they not hear us sing the jingle?
It's not just about the jingle, guys.
It's about the whole attitude.
It's the whole arc.
Are we not vodka influencers?
No, you're not vodka influencers. Do we not give
a certain aura of vodka influencers?
It's Hayley with a bowl of mele.
That's just the most perfect.
It does rhyme.
God, I'm trying so hard to get them
to send me some mele. I just keep getting sent porn.
Oh, I know.
Porn for Vaughn.
What about some corn? What about some seed for the lawn? You could be Vaughn. And I'm like, what about some corn?
Yeah.
What about some seed
for the lawn?
You could be a lawn,
Vaughn's lawn ambassador.
Yeah.
But you keep getting
grey mile track pants.
Putting grey ones
in grey mile.
I'm wearing them now.
And you're wearing them now
and it's a beautiful
collaboration.
You didn't get given
that boat that time,
but was that a sloop
or a ketch?
I think it was a ketch.
I couldn't work it out.
Yeah,
fletch with a ketch.
Fletch with a ketch.
Fletch is ketch. Well, Hay with a catch. Fletch's catch.
Hayley's getting some more mealy and I know that
you boys are upset that they didn't send you
some vodka. Especially because we sung the jingle.
Yeah, well, okay, you can come to my house.
The thing is, you can come to my house and drink this
vodka, but I invite you guys to my house all the time. You don't come.
It's hardly what I'd call a house at the moment.
There isn't.
You can come and sit
in my lounge bedroom bathroom.
Also, you know me, when I drink, I need a wee every, like, 45 minutes.
There's a perfectly clean port-a-loo.
Just a small walk down to the back of the driveway.
Again, it's not sounding appealing, is it?
Well, you guys start singing more jingles.
Saint Pierre.
And you can get your free sushi.

Today's sillyilly Little Pole
is have you ever taken a social media hiatus?
This is a break.
Hiatus.
Where you're like, I'm out.
See you guys in a month.
No.
I've got definitely follow friends
that just disappear for a while.
They're the best ones that disappear.
Don't announce you're about to disappear.
Just disappear.
Yeah, some of them announce it
and you're like, just calm down.
Please go ahead.
Oh, no, no, sir, please.
Sir, please, ma'am, ma'am, please.
Please don't silence woman.
Well, as the woman, I will speak.
Okay, please do.
Because you've allowed me this platform.
I was just going to say, whenever any of my friends that are maybe a bit well-known do a hiatus,
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. And then they announce they're on Celebrity Treasure Island. Oh, you're doing Celebrity Treasure Island. That's all I think. 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.
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? Where have they gone? They love the thought that somebody's
that they're so mysterious.
Hey guys, please respect
my privacy at this time.
I just need to take a moment.
Dot, dot, dot.
I mean, on a serious note though,
we know that less social media use
is linked to better mental health.
Absolutely.
It's toxic sometimes.
Yeah.
Well, 38% of people have taken a social media hiatus.
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.
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.
I feel also this is the time of the year that you should take a hiatus for a month with everybody being in Europe.
But as someone who's about to go on holiday, maybe just wait.
Oh, must be nice.
Yeah, must be nice.
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.
Laura took a break, but she managed to do it without telling anybody about it. So there you go. Laura took a break but she managed to do it without telling anybody about it.
Emma,
just to be more present
with my family
and actually talk to my friends
was so nice reading more
and giving movies
full attention.
I will do it again.
Movie,
I'm so bad, eh,
for the movie
with phone in hand.
Yeah.
What were we watching?
And I said to Sade,
oh,
and I turned around
and she was on her phone
and she quickly put it down.
And she was like, oh, yeah.
I was like, what just happened?
And she couldn't tell me.
I love that.
Yeah, she was absolutely busted.
Ali says, it's a huge part of my job.
Ha, ha, ha.
Doesn't say what her job is.
How very mysterious.
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?
Celebrity Treasure Island.
Probably somebody who works on Celebrity Treasure Island.
Yeah, all that as well.
Melissa said,
that's for people who want attention as they announce it.
It's a no-bid for me.
Bugger off quietly, please.
Yeah, if you're going to go, you've got to do it quietly.
Just have a break. Sneak away. French exit, Irish exit, whatever
culture-based exit
you like. Or sometimes we call it a Fletch exit.
He just leaves the party
and doesn't tell anyone. I love a Fletch exit.
Those people tend to announce it on their socials and
it's the cringiest thing because they're gone for like two
days, says Nicole. I'm back
and I'm a new brand ambassador.
Yeah, I left, but then I had this
amazing opportunity to present itself.
Would love to, said Amy,
but so many messages
and school stuff comes through social media now.
As a teacher working
for the school, your teachers
on Facebook, you'd be like, what's up?
Well, we couldn't take our hiatus because
we all use Messenger,
like group chat.
Yeah.
I wouldn't call that social media though.
That's more communication.
You could use that as a messaging service
and get rid of the other apps though,
for sure.
Yeah.
For sure.
Well, there's today's silly little part.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
was, I'm pregnant.
Oh.
Fiance.
So, you know, like
Yeah.
Ring on the finger
sort of like
Yikes.
Yeah.
Very
You got dumped on Christmas Eve
didn't you?
Christmas Day.
Christmas Day.
Yeah, Vaughn got dumped
on Christmas Day.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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?
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,
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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...
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
Remember these?
No, I've got no idea.
They're either in a blue
or peach background.
Right.
Yeah.
Okay.
They were cute.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks.
And if you'd like to be
in to win tickets, flights,
accommodation that we've
managed to secure,
you can text Taylor to 9696
and we'll send you a link
to go in the draw
to see Taylor Swift live in Melbourne.

As tall as he is wide.
As a chud.
A poor little born.
It's just like sits on top of his head.

That is amazing though.

Yeah. Yeah, it about the area. Yeah.

he was like, please don't.
Don't make me go through this again.
I once went zip lining in Mexico
and you had to stop yourself with a gardening glove
and a pool noodle.
I don't like that.
