The ZM Podcast Network. The Flesh, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Good morning, welcome to the show. Flesh, Fawn and Hayley, and take that, Russia. Yeah. Don't taunt Russia like that. Well, they crashed their spacecraft into the moon earlier this week,

and now India have landed on it, like you should do. Whose responsibility is it when you crash into the moon? Like to clean it up? Well, now we're sending construction workers up there to bloody fill the potholes? Yeah, unsure. Or we just leave it broken. We just leave it broken. God. The council will

fill it in soon. Within 24 hours. They'll do it quicker if someone draws a dick around it. It's a way to get action. That's a fact. Taylor Swift tickets again today. Another double pass.

We've still got those, do we? Yeah, so this is week two of four weeks. So, yeah, Friday will be halfway through. Speaking of, did you see my Swifty progress on the talk? I did, yes. I'm doing quite well. You're coming along. Yeah, did you see my Swifty progress on the talk? I did, yes. I'm doing quite well. You're coming along. Yeah, thank you.

Really coming along. There's someone, I was filming seven days last night and someone was like, are you actually gonna get into Swifty? I was like,

look, I'm literally trying. I'm really like. Yeah, you're working hard. Working hard, listening to it, but she's good. The top six is coming up. Yeah,

this Friday, a company... Hold on. I'm still not... Are you opening a press release? Hold on, babe. Hold on a bit. It was EcoStore. Yeah, EcoStore.

They're launching No Laundry Day, encouraging Kiwis to wash less than half to save the planet. It's confusing to me that a company that sells products for you to do the laundry is saying that doing the laundry is bad for the, what's this called? Country. A planet. You got there in the end.

I shouldn't say country one syllable at a time. I'll tell you that. And stumble on it. And then say it five times in a row like I just did. I think the idea is don't just put a silly small wash on. You should be thinking about. Just be like... Save up your loads.

Yeah, exactly. What? Save up your loads. For what? Fridays. Rainy day. For the sunny days or the...

Sunny days you want to get outside. Sunny days you can't and you shouldn't be doing your loads outside. Well, not in winter, no. So that's... This is a terrible

start to the show. You know what? I think we restart the entire thing. Go back to the news. No, we're not. we restart the entire thing. Go back to the news. No, we're not. We're not restarting. What's the top six?

I want to hear about how India's on the moon. India's on the moon. That's all you need to know this morning. India's on the moon. The top six is the top six reasons I rule at laundry. Because I am. I think I've inherited my mother's finesse. Oh, okay.

For finding your way around the Gentle Annie. I don't have a Gentle Annie. My mum still has a Gentle Annie. You're looking at me confused. You're not familiar with the Gentle Annie? Well, the Gentle Annie is a walking track in the South Wairarapa. That's the only Gentle Annie, and famously not that gentle. Every time I climb the Gentle Annie, I'm always like,

God, I'm a bloody liar. It's not gentle. It's been misnamed. Not gentle. Not gentle. The Gentle Annie, the genitals, the Gentle Annie. God, fuck. All right, restart. I think been misnamed. Not gentle. Not gentle. The gentle Annie. The genitals. The gentle Annie.

God. All right, restart. I think you need to have a coffee. No, I've had one. I'm going to go home. The top six is coming up. Well, dear, leave it to us, Horne. Next on the show, one and three. One and four.

Don't leave it to you. You get out of here, too. Let's just leave this to Olivia Rodrigues. Let's go home. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. A big study about our cooking habits has revealed that a quarter of people

are afraid of their own kitchen. Is this a one in three? Yes, this is one in three, a.k.a. a quarter. A quarter. 25%, which is one in three. One in four people are too afraid and intimidated to use their own kitchen to cook food.

And it's because they're just like, I don't know how it all works. What's confusing for them? The cooking, the recipes. Which pan do I use? How do I use it? Which one do I roast in? A pan or a roasting dish?

That's not the title, is it? It is. Too easy just to get what Uber Eats or takeaways. Too easy just to not cook. Yeah, right. 60% of people were like the thing, the most intimidated about cooking is their favourite international foods. Because you're going like, I could make a

bloody salad and a roast chicken, but if I wanted to make a bit of agadashi tofu, one of my favourite international dishes, I'm like, where do you even begin? Where are the ingredients? No, it's just tofu, my love.

But is it the marinade on the tofu? Agadashi tofu is like a lightly deep fried tofu square. Okay, it's pork. It could be pork by the sounds of it. No, no, it's just tofu and then you put a broth around it. Right.

But you're right because you don't want to attempt your favourite dishes because you won't make them the same. No. I'm not going to make a delicious chicken pad thai. Why not? So pad thai is on there as the dishes that people are most afraid of cooking. When I say people, I probably mean like white people. I'm not afraid to cook it.

I just know that I can get it cheaper. And more delicious. It's like when you make your own pizzas at home. They come out to like $42 a pizza. I know. So most people fear making pasta from scratch. Vaughan? Yeah.

That's Vaughan? No, mine's just cooking pasta full stop. You're intimidated by cooking pasta? Yeah, I can never get it right. Al dente, it's not your forte. No. Gosh. Yeah.

Because they bite when it's firm. As soon as it hits the water, you can bite it. It's firm. It goes in as real firm. You've been on crunch, yeah. Yeah. Beef Wellington is the next one. Then sushi.

I've tried to make sushi. My sushi was too loose. It's a bit loose, isn't it? It was a loose sushi. Sade bought a sushi gun. She's been making some tight sushi. What do you mean? A sushi gun? Makes a log. You pack everything you want in it. And then you wrap the

seaweed around one part of it. And then you start pumping the gun and it like drags the seaweed around it. She got tight. She's okay, right. That's embarrassing, man. My sushi's all loose. You got floppy sushi.

You need to get one of these guns. I got raggedy sushi. Yeah, I do. Because I bought the bamboo mat. She's got two kids. Shada's got two. We've got two kids. They wouldn't accept loose sushi.

Yeah, right. They just wanted a tight sushi. High standards. Enchiladas. The next one. That's easy. Dude, they are so easy and yum. Yeah. It's just a wrap

And sloppy meat Wrap it up Slop more slop More cheese Put in the oven Yum And the other one's pad thai We're just intimidated

People are like I can't cook from scratch That's why people love a little Yeah We love a little Stir fry packet goo Stir fry packet goo You can't lose

Because if you break it down, you're like, oh, I'm going to get ginger and lemongrass and all these other ingredients. I'll just get a little pre-made. I thought people being locked up at home during the pandemic would have made people, I don't know, just sort of forced them into the kitchen. Yeah, I know.

Made them unafraid. Yeah, but people are going, cooking recipes from scratch is too hard. I'm just going to get it from the Thai place down the road. Yeah, yeah. It's cheaper. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, a channel in the UK, E4, is about to launch a raunchy,

they always have the good ones. Got good trash, eh? E4. This is by the producers of Married at First Sight, Australia. Yeah. And this dating show, British dating show, is called Love Triangle. Okay, I'm hooked. So you're hooked already.

Yeah. So from what I understand, six single people will choose a love match out of two guys. Now, these two guys, one of them will embody their steamy desires. Embody their what? Steamy. Steamy. I was like science, technology, engineering. Like stem cell research.

Or stem learning. So, for example, it would be like just based on looks, like that guy is hot. Yes, okay. But the second match will match more of their deeper fulfilling romantic needs. This is fantastic. Like he loves animals

and he can chop wood and he looks after his mother. He does charity and all that kind of stuff. And one's just a himbo. Yeah, basically. So maybe not as attractive, do you think, based on this? Yeah. Or still will be attractive?

Well, on these shows, they tend to all be attractive, even the ugly ones. Ugly attractive. He's still attractive. Yeah. So then she will then have to make a decision, which one. You get emotional. So will she? You're already getting emotional.

You and I tear up at these reality shows. Oh, he gets so invested, doesn't he? He sure does. So then she will be asked to choose one of these men. So it's kind of... So she will lock in, say for example she locks in Steamy Desires guy and she's like,

I don't need the Fulfilling My Needs guy. I need a Mr. Right now, not a Mr. Right. The Fulfilling My my needs guy comes back As a surprise and forms a love triangle Oh my god So that's the set up is choosing one Yes

So then she's already said this is my preferred guy But the other guy then comes back Forms a triangle and for the Wait a minute a triangle means he would have to also be sleeping with the dude No not normally So who's on the bottom And for the rest of the show... Wait, but a triangle means he would have to also be sleeping with the dude. No, not normally. So who's on the bottom? Maybe if it was a bisexual triangle.

It's just a... What do you call this? The roof of a house. What is a triangle without a bottom? But a love triangle's always inferred just three people, right? It doesn't mean they're all sleeping together. You're not threesome. It's just like one person's at the peak. No, I always thought it was person A likes person B,

person B likes person C, person C likes person A. So everybody likes somebody else but not the one that likes them. Nah, it's like you've got two on the go. Dumb. No, that's not a triangle. It's a greater than sign. After all the episodes, she will then have to choose again which one. So will she go back

on her original choice? So apparently they don't see either of them before they make their choice. Wait, they don't see them? A group of singles choose a partner sight unseen based on

one of the things that is more important to them. Do you want a little hottie? I've got eight abs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got a 12 pack. I've got a 12 pack. Far out. I don't think a lot.

Cody, 12%. Cody. Yeah, 12%. That one. Yeah. And you're like, man, if you've got 12 got 12%, we only need six each and we're ripped. Well, that's a bit of you, though. This TV show, this is absolutely up your alley.

I'm going to eat this up. And you'd imagine this will come here, right? You can watch. It's American, eh? British. Even better. Thank you. Because you prefer your British dating shows.

I love Maps Australia over any of the maps. A masked American can get in the trash. MAPS America can get in the trash. MAPS New Zealand can get in the trash. Australia's where it's at. But the British ones. Yeah. So good. So they're just grafting, you know.

They're just grafting the whole time. I love it. Well, keep an eye out for it. Play it. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Just to follow up, mention the new dating show Love Triangle. It is new to Britain, but it's an Australian creation. So that's why they said it was from the creators of Married at First Sight Australia.

That's right. So you can watch season one of the Australian version on TVNZ+. We've had word. I am literally leaving work now to go and watch it. Okay. Bye-bye. Boo. Oh, who got a message?

Hayley Sproul. It's from my mum. What does it say? She's in Wimbledon. Well, that's not in Italy. Even I know that Wimbledon isn't in Britain. It's Wimbledon. Wimbledon.

I don't know how to say it. You'll just never know it. Know where it is. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six. EcoStore, the leading environmental and sustainability brand, is urging the nation to embrace conscious choices in their daily laundry routines by introducing

No Laundry Day this Friday, August the 25th. Every day, the nation's laundry habits consume significant resources. It's estimated we use an astonishing 39 billion litres of water annually for laundry, the equivalent of running a shower for 5,319 years. Oh, my God. That's a lot, isn't it?

When you say it like that. Yeah, that's how you go to bank, you're washing up. That's where you've got to do what I do, which is not have a laundry. Go to the laundromat. And then, like, once a week, you go to the laundromat and do the whole basket. Yeah.

It's really satisfying. Big tumblers. Yeah, I love their big laundromat and do the whole basket. Yeah. It's good. It's really satisfying. Big tumblers. Yeah. I love their big dryers. Yeah, smells good in there. Yeah. It's soothing. How many people are in New Zealand now?

Five million? I was about to say five billion. God. Is it we're billions? I mean, I get why they're, it's a good point they make. Yeah. Because how many times have you just chucked on like a small load because you're like, Oh, just one. Or when you're like, it's a small load because you're like, oh, just one.

Or when you're like, it's like a Friday and you're like, I'm going out tonight. I really want to wear that top and these undies. I'll just chuck them in. Two items. Sometimes. Depends. I've got certain pairs of undies that are like no other.

Okay. I was just trying to do the maths of trying to work that out, you know, because that sounds like a shocking thing about running a shower for 5,319 years, but that's one shower, and I was wondering what the equivalent would be of five million people showering a year twice a day. Dividing it. Every day. You're girl-mathing.

You're girl-mathing the planet. No, I just wanted to, like, take a little bit of the hyperbole out of it. Yes. I'm very cynical about these sorts of things. You're very cynical, aren't you? I mean, EcoStore is, they've got products and stuff you can run on a grey tank, which is what we're supposed to run on a septic system. I do understand.

I use their body wash, their coconut. You've used my shower. That's the body wash. And the shampoo. You bought the bottle and then you just filled it up with palm olive. Yeah, I don't remember them doing an orange soap. No, I use their... Really vibrant orange.

I get the big refills. I love their soap. I use their dish soap because I've got eczema hands. We use their dish soap and their kitchen spray. I'm not shitting on the brand. Also, Mr. Planet Worried About the Water, you literally drilled into the earth and you're stealing the water from underneath

us and using it non-stop. Also, I was going to say, I've got a bit of rubbish. Can I come over and burn it? Absolutely. Burnitin is it. My burnitin is your burnitin. Thank you, sir. It's like polystyrene and insulation and all that. It's alright, eh? Yeah, it's fine. I am edging away

from burning polystyrene. I've got a bit of asbestos. That won't burn. Famously, that's what it was best for. That won't burn. But I'm just like, why is a company that sells laundry products telling us that laundry products are bad and not to do it? Because they're about the planet, aren't they? I don't know.

I'm just confused. But it got me thinking about how I will not be told what to do by a company. And I'll be doing laundry this Friday. And there's not six reasons. I'm great at doing the laundry. I think I've inherited the gene from my mother. Oh, yeah. Who thrives. She loves a good launder. Yeah. I think I've inherited the gene from my mother. Oh, yeah. Who thrives.

She loves a good launder. Yeah. And I talked before about the Gentle Annie, the best-selling Fisher & Piper washing machine of all time. Top loader. Yeah. Now I've got a front loader at the moment because it had to go under the bench

because that was the aesthetic of the laundry. But front loaders have come a long way. They have. Front loaders have come a long way. So I've got the top six reasons I'm great at doing the washing. Number six, I separate the colours and the materials. Just because...

So you're doing more loads. So you're doing more loads. Oh, wow. He hates the environment. More loads, but smaller loads. But he's using that water that he's plundering

from the earth and not paying for. Yeah, exactly. The smallest load you can do is a 30 minute. Yeah, but the washing machine we've got, they don't fill up all the time.

Are you sure? Yeah, they've got those sensors in them and they'll put as much water in them as you need. That's what he's telling himself. He's telling himself. That's what I tell myself. This is what we call greenwashing. That's what I tell myself.

But you know, socks and undies, in you go. Dark t-shirts, one load. Light t-shirts, another. Oh no, you're being stupid. Denims, towels, maybe. Denims all by themselves. Hoodies all by themselves. Trust me, it leads You're being stupid. Denim's stupid. Towels, maybe. Denim's all by themselves. Hoodies, all by themselves. Trust me, it leads to a better result.

Oh, no. It's all the same, mate. Number five on the list of the top six reasons I'm great at doing washing. I turn all the socks the right way in before washing them. That's a step, man. That's a step. As I'm putting the socks in, I put them all in the right way because the dirt and stuff that gets on a sock is on the outside of the sock.

Now, if you don't turn it in the right way, you're going to eventually flick it in the right way and there's going to be dust, hay, all stuff. That's me, man, all the time. We've got a very dusty house at the moment. Wash our socks, turn them in the other way and it's still dusty. There it is. You've got to turn them in the right way and give them a shake

before you put them in. That's another handy tip. Number four on the list of the top six reasons I'm great at doing washing. I do not overload the machine. Do not shove it all in the machine. As long as you can close the door, what does it matter? The water needs room to move. Yeah, but the clothes get all wet and then go down.

Slushy. It's fine, yeah. It's like spinach. It wilts. Yeah. Slush. Let It's fine, yeah. It's like spinach. It wilts. Yeah. It's slush. Let it slush. Number three on the list of the top six reasons

I'm great at doing the washing. I do not put anything in the dryer that cannot handle the dryer. Oh my God. Oh yeah, dryers are fabric suicide.

Can you tell Aaron this? He keeps chucking all my, all I say, I'll put something in the wash and be like, in the basket, be like, do not wash this. Do not do it.

And he'll be like, cotton. That can go in. Cotton shrinks. Not cotton. Yeah, no. Not cotton, baby. Nothing goes in the dryer unless it's made to handle the dryer. Especially not silk, Aaron. Oh, Aaron! No. He didn't. He didn't.

Just leave it to you. It was in there for me To take to the dry cleaner Oh yeah He's like I know I'll give this a hot wash And a dry It'll be dry

Before she gets on And it's gonna be Child sized Number two on the list Of the top six reasons I'm great at doing the washing I select The washing function

I just don't accept The default Cotton settings Oh I will scroll The dial around To whatever I'm washing. Okay. Oh, yeah.

It does make a difference. Quick 30 no matter what. Quick 30 no matter what. Yeah, quick 30. Quick 30. That's all you need. I might do an hour if there's, you know, some heavy soilage. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

If I'm crap myself. An hour for default. No. Heavy soilage is heavy soilage. Not all of us are plundering the earth for free water, Vaughn. Yeah, exactly. Some of us pay for our water. Pay for it.

It's worth it. And number one on the list of the top six reasons I'm great at doing the washing. I take the clothes horse inside and outside as conditions change. Just like your mum used to run to the washing line to get something in because the clouds were coming in. Kids, get in! There's rain coming! We used to get a call from the cow shed and mum would be like, I can see rain that washing through out that line!

We'd scream down and get it off. Inside, outside. Ooh, ah, ooh, ah. That is today's top secret. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. Jennifer Aniston is so beautiful. Jennifer Aniston, cosmetic surgery?

I wonder, you know, because the moment anyone is that beautiful at the age of 54. I was just Googling her age. Yeah, she's 54. Everyone's like, what? She had a nose job. We remember this. Okay.

She's had Botox and fillers. I thought she had an... Okay. Well, that... Yeah. Yeah. She has. She had a nose job years and years and years ago.

Early Friends days, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they sort of made fun of her as part of her character's storyline. Yeah. She's definitely had a little bit, but not a lot. She's not like stapling the bloody, you know, edge of her face up. Well, not yet. Not yet.

For 54, everyone, she looks so good. She's got a great physique. She's just a beautiful woman. I really, I like her a lot. And she was doing an interview with the Wall Street Journal, asking lots of questions. And one of them was like, how do you stay looking so good? And her whole thing was like

basically I just give anything a go once. And she's also, I've heard her talk before about that she's incredibly fit like she eats really well. She eats well but she said she doesn't do fad diets. She just like eats well but also allows herself to like have days off and whatnot. Very similar to yourself actually.

You know a little blowout on the weekend and then keeps it during theik, during the week. Do you think Jennifer Anderson loves the cheese balls? Oh, she turns out. Yeah, yeah. Okay, good. And the Mama Fiorelli. And a Prosecco or two. And a Prosecco or two and then some luggies on the way home. She's a good woman. She is.

Anyway, she was saying with the beauty staff, like she'll try anything. She gets weekly peptide injections. What's weekly peptide injections. What's peptide? Peptides, I've got it in one of my skin care, like serums. Peptide injections.

Peptide meaning? Because I don't inject it, I just lather it on, which arguably people say like it doesn't penetrate the skin. It is a short chain of amino acids linked by chemical bonds called peptide bonds. A longer chain of linked amino acids or more is called a

polypeptide. Oh, now I understand. Yeah, of course you do. Now it sounds like that. That proteins are manufactured inside cells and made from one or more peptides. So it's like you're popping it in. It sounds like the elasticity stuff that you start to lose and right. That's what we want to keep. Rejuvenate. And you're saying it doesn't

penetrate the skin so she's getting it injected and it'll flow around and fall in where it needs to. Get right in there. Okay. But then she said that her aestheticist, aesthetician, aesthetician, beauty therapist,

the person who looks after her looking good, suggested she gets a salmon sperm facial. Salmon sperm. Can you go salmon sperm facial NZ? Now, it's not Aniston approved Because she was like I tried it once And like

Didn't immediately You know it didn't change my life So I was like I'm not going to smear salmon sperm on my face If it's not going to be this Groundbreaking incredible thing But apparently Salmon sperm is not really

A completely uncommon ingredient in skincare. What? And it's huge in Korean skincare. Yeah, I was going to say, I've read an article saying it's going to be the next big K beauty craze, and the K stands for Korean. Yeah. Wow. Korean skincare is huge.

They always have great skin too. Glass skin. Great skin. Yep. Just like not a blemish, not a wrinkle. But how do you know if that's in your, is it on the ingredients list? It's got lots of names. Yeah, I was going to say like that wouldn't be the name they call it on the ingredients list.

It's not far. I was reading it before. It was like salmon seed or something like that. Extract, salmon extract. Yeah, salmon willy extract and whatnot. But yeah, apparently it's, you know. They're injecting it. They're injecting it.

They're not just rubbing it on. They're injecting it. I don't have sperm in my face. I'm watching a TikTok. There's hundreds of holes in her face. Oh, no. Are you sure? I mean, what, just, I don't know, exercise and drink lots of water?

DNA harvested from salmon sperm. It's not just like, it's just, I don't know, exercise and drink lots of water? DNA harvested from salmon sperm. It's not just like, it's just getting straight on there. Yeah, I think just some lot. Well, she, Jennifer Anderson said once that was it, enough. No, she was just like, yeah, whatever. Like, I've tried everything, even something this crazy, but she just like eats well, drinks water, goes to sleep. This woman's face looks like a pincushion.

Like, it's serious. It's not just a cream to try out. It's injections. No, thanks. It's a hard no. It's serious. It's not just a cream to try out. It's injections. It's a hard no. Silly, silly, silly dad. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Hello. Is it okay to start eating food in the supermarket?

I got a woman sparked online controversy by enjoying snacks as she shopped. So we asked, is it okay to start eating food in the supermarket? Yes, I'm going to pay anyway. Or no way, just wait, hon. My mum used to do it when she was eating food in the supermarket? Yes, I'm going to pay anyway. Or, no way, just wait, hon. My mum used to do it when she was shopping with us. Really? Open up the biscuits and be like, shut up, eat that. Give you a little something to do.

Yeah. But that was before the self-checkouts. Yeah, which, like you say, you need the weight of the item. Otherwise, you have to get the supervisor to come over and it's like... And you can't do it with a pick and mix because that's stealing. Yeah, that's stealing. Yeah. I want a lolly.

I mean, it's bad to shop on an empty stomach, they say. You buy more. Yeah, you shouldn't be going hungry. Maybe grab a bag of that coleslaw that's always right by the door and give that a shake up and eat that on the way around. No. 16% of people said, yes, I'm going to pay anyway. Only 16%.

84% said, no way, just wait home. I would have thought it would have been. Also, I feel like you would get judgment walking around the supermarket eating something. Like, I've seen people do it and I'm like, ugh. What if you crack open a bottle of wine? Why not? You know, I'm going to pay for it. I just feel like a little drop of a fickle mistress.

That would be like against the licensing deal they have. They wouldn't like that, no. Ashley's feedback says that 14% are parents of toddlers who feed them so they can shop. Free fruit only lasts so long. Yeah. The free fruit in the supermarket. Also, I feel like people went a little bit off the free fruit

over the COVID part. Well, they put the manky fruit in there as well. And everyone's running there doing their little fingers around trying to find the best apple, etc. Did Deli still give out a little sheet of luncheon to the kids? I used to love that. Nah. Remember, you'd be there and they'd be like, you want a sheet of luncheon, you better use place.

It's a bit frowned upon now to give them highly processed, wildly salted meat products. So yummy, though. It's been years. Helen says, it depends if you're in the supermarket with a toddler post-daycare. We're just trying to survive out there. I don't expect Fletch or Hayley to understand this situation. I famously, yeah.

You famously hate children, don't I? I hate children, yeah, you do. Absolutely against anyone and everyone having them, apparently. Connor says, it isn't yours to eat until you've paid for it. Oh, okay, yeah. Fair call. What if the intention's

there though, Connor? Well, what if your card declines? Oh! Ew! And you're putting through a bunch of empty packets and you're like,

oh, I need to ring my dad. I voted no, says Sally, but it's definitely a kiwi rite of passage as a kid to eat some luncheon from the deli

while mum shops to keep you quiet. They were good, eh? Yeah, but are you taking the slice of luncheon out of mum's deli bag or are you getting handed a free... Handed a free. Also, I would have had that thing finished by the breads. Yeah.

That thing wouldn't have even got... Oh, that's maximum, three bites on a slice of luncheon. Only if I have cash in my wallet to cover it, says Patrick. Otherwise, I'll hold off in case my card declines for whatever reason. He's a good boy. Yeah, he's a good boy. What a good boy.

He's a good boy. Amy said, I have type 1 diabetes and have had hypos in the supermarket. Oh, yeah, you've got to grab something. And so I have opened jelly beans and then paid for them later. Oh, yeah. Hypo and hyper are opposites, aren't they?

Yes. The hypo, you need a real fast... Yeah, low blood sugar. A hit of sugar. Yeah. And that's when someone says they were hypoactive, unless they were very lethargic and unenergetic, they weren't.

They were hyperactive. Hyperactive. Yes. They're not going hypo. They're going hyper. It was bigger than 90s, eh? Don't have a hypo. Yeah, you don't hypo over there.

Kate says, kids eating Cheerios are okay. They even ask you if you want the bag open or closed now when they give you a bag of Cheerios. Wait, cooked? What? Cheerios are pre-cooked. Yeah, they're pre-cooked. You can eat them cold. You can go raw.

No, you've got to cook them so they're boiled and split. No, that's a San Valois. Yeah, same vibe. It's the same thing. Same vibe, just size. Yeah, right. But your size. Yeah, you can totally do it.

But no tucking into a bag of Chippies or Bickies. That's a weird line to draw. Also, you've got to think your hands are touching the trolleys, everything around the supermarket. It's manky in there. Yeah, it is. Especially the kids. They're touching everything.

Touching the lot. Hamish says, Sometimes I'll go into the supermarket, grab a drink, go back through the checkout and pay for it, and then go back in and do my shop so I can have a drink while I'm shopping. Honest.

Another honest boy. But that's going to be harder to explain when you're drinking and you chuck it in the bin and don't pay for it on the second round than it would be to just drink on the way around and scan the drink at the end, right? That's weird. Maybe that's just... I don't know, Hamish. Maybe look into doing that a different

bit of a way. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. 65% of people have said make yourself at home and then regret it. Oh, yeah. Because people then made themselves at home. Don't say it.

I say it all the time. I do too. You're a very hospitable, welcoming person. Yeah, I always say like on Fridays and sometimes, you know, the end of a long, hard day on the building site, we'll say to the builders, do you want a beer or something? They'll be like, oh, I'm just going to finish up this. And I'll be like, make yourself at home.

Like fridges, go just help yourself to the fridge. You don't say that to tradies. I'll take a huge dump. Yeah, one of them took my roast chicken. Whole thing. Yeah, yeah. For a snack on the drive home. You did say make yourself at home.

Make yourself right at home. You never said make yourself at home. I do. Yeah, I'm always, it's a nice thing. I'm the same. I have friends around. If they're staying, make yourself at home. Make yourself right at home. You never said make yourself at home. I do. Yeah, I'm always... I do. It's a nice thing. I'm the same. I've made friends around.

If they're staying, make yourself at home. And I don't say it passive aggressively either. Oh, well, make yourself at home. Yeah. Because that's another way of saying it. Yeah, you're very much like me as well, Fletch. You say make yourself at home. Well, you come around all the time.

I'm like, make yourself at home. Yeah, yeah, because often the first thing I need is a shower. Oh, my. I can't wait till you get your own shower. I know. It's going to be wild, eh, when she's on a regular showering schedule again. Yeah. She's been using so much of my body wash.

Yeah, I know. But I do make myself at home. He doesn't even leave a towel out for me now. I know where they are. You know where the towels are. Get my own towel. Make yourself at home. Make yourself at home. Make yourself at home.

And I rummage through his drawers. Unbelievable. Because sometimes I'm there and I won't have what I need. In your drawers, you've got face wash in the shower. Help myself to that. Make myself right at home. You buy shampoo and conditioner for your long-haired guests. I like half a bottle of conditioner.

Because you know when you want to get real glossy? Yeah. So half of that. That's nearly empty too, by the way. And then afterwards I'll dry myself off and sometimes I'll even chuck the towel or, you know, like whatever in the washing machine, kick that off, make myself right at home. And then you've got to draw like a vanity.

I'll help myself, make myself at home, rummage through there. Have some mouthwash. He's got like toothbrushothbrushes for gifts Mouthwash For guests Yeah mouthwash No lips though

No you've got to hold it Like just Yeah no lips Above your lips No lips And kind of just Hope it pours in Yeah

I've used your Sorbolene Your deodorant What's a sorbolene It's a fatty cream Like a moisturising cream It's like It can be a soap substitute

As well Yeah It's good for like If you've moisturising cream. It can be a soap substitute as well. It's good for if you've got a sense of skin. For a sense of dry skin. Ah, right. I wouldn't know I'm a leathery old tortoise. Yeah, handbag. Nothing penetrates. Nothing agitates your skin.

Nah. I've made myself at your home. Apart from the sun. What about though When you say make yourself at home And then someone ends up staying like More than a night or two Oh yeah

And you're like No no no That's not This is not your home That's a different That's an absolutely different level Of making yourself at home That's outstaying your welcome

Yeah But they said Who makes the worst guests Friends Then siblings Then in-laws So friends are the worst people Who come in

And just bloody make themselves at home You tell your father-in-law To make himself at home In-laws I So friends are the worst people who come in and just bloody make themselves at home. You tell your father-in-law to make himself at home? I would never utter those words to him. To make himself at home? I would never say it. I'd say relax. He's always welcome. Temporarily. And then please go back to your own home. And don't make yourself too comfortable.

Study's been done and it's found that those with Cs, Cs get degrees. Yeah. You know the saying, C students are more likely to succeed than like nerdy A students or, you know, like Bs and. Yeah. Wasn't there something, research about kids that have a higher education and go AAA and work their butts off, they get out into the workforce and they can't get that same kind of reach and satisfaction so they even suck to crumble away.

Jesus. Yeah, because I just searched this up and Quora, you know the website? Great website. Quora. Oh, the one that you ask questions. Quora. Quora. How I was... I thought you meant politician.

They've got a great website, but it's not quite as philosophical. They did this. They said, somebody said, the C grade students that I went to school with are leading happier and more successful lives. How is this possible? I love this. A grade student is like, does not compute., does not compute.

Happiness does not compute. Do you know what it was? It was looking at kids that went to gifted schools, often intend to fail because they can't reach, they can't be achieving goals as often as they did when they were at school.

They literally peaked at high school. So then they start to go like, I don't know what it is anymore. What is it called? Meritocracy. You know at school, you get an A and you're like, darn, tick. And then you get out there and you're like, do I get a pay rise? And they're like, no. And you're like, I don't know what it is anymore. What is it called? Meritocracy. You know at school you get an A and you're like, done, tick.

And then you get out there and you're like, do I get a pay rise? And they're like, no. And you're like, but. Oh, yeah. But that is the equivalent of an A. Yeah, when I got a degree in acting and then they give you the piece of paper, you don't take it to an audition and go, here you go. They're like, no, no, no, just do the thing.

Yeah. And you don't get the job. You're like, but the paper. But I did the thing that you wanted to do. But I have the paper. Yeah. And you don't get the job, you're like, but the paper. But I did the thing that you wanted to do. But I have the paper. Right, because apparently C, in the study, they said C students excel at finding easy solutions to hard tasks.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's genius. People say hire lazy people, they'll just find a way to be more efficient. Which just sums you up, doesn't it really? Yes. And I mean, I can kind of relate to this as well. You're just like, yeah, work smarter, not harder. Yeah.

I don't know where I sit on this. I was a naughty kid, and then I got really into school, and I was like, I think I'm just going to give a go at nailing this. Right. And then because I'm a winner winner chicken dinner, yeah. Oh. Yeah. But then I would have...

It's hitting the A's, Nass. It's hitting the A's. I was just happy to just get enough. Yeah. What about your acting degree, though? Did they give you A, B, or C? Yeah, but on like a few things. Honestly, it was survival of the fittest.

Right. If you made it to the end, you deserve to get a... So, for example, that class or that term where you're rolling on the floor being pancakes, what did you get for that? an A, B or a C? I believe I failed at the pancake. I'm too curvy. No, it was like part of movement for the term. Oh, okay.

And so what did you get for movement? I cannot remember and I really don't care. Right. To be fair. Yeah, because you tried to be a wave too and that didn't work. I tried to be a wave and that didn't work out. I tried to be a pancake, that didn't work out. Tried to be a pancake, that didn't work out. Tried to be a child, I'm not very good at that.

But boy, oh boy, can she tell a joke. Right. Boy, oh boy, can she... I can't even remember what I learned. Her improv skills are off the hook. Boy, oh boy, can she do a very good American Ericsson. On the spot, man. She's a shaker.

This is in America. An absolute nobody. Just a regular civilian was on a flight. I'm not actually sure where they were going. Like interstate. Right, in America somewhere. In America, from state to state. And they spotted a familiar beanie a couple of rows ahead of them.

Little bit of research later and trying to play it cool. It's Billie Eilish sitting window seat economy on a flight. And everyone was like, what? And then Billie Eilish uploaded a photo later confirming, because you see the top of the bed it's got stars on it

and da-da-da-da-da. And she's kind of, she's got like hood up and beanie and whatnot. She's leaning against the window. But they're like, holy moly, POV,

you see Billie Eilish for free on a plane. For free. In economy. In economy. And then she does a photo, like a selfie on the plane in that outfit,

being like, I'm on a plane. I just Googled her net worth, $30 million. But then another website saying $141. Oh, it would be more than $30. Surely, right? Yes. And massive songs. Yeah.

And then the comment section obviously blew up. Everyone being like, look at this. Look at this absolute superstar flying economy like the rest of us. Maybe she couldn't get a seat. Maybe there wasn't, was it a plane without a hire? No, she barely ever does it, private flying or business or anything like that. She's like, why would I?

She's short. She's short. You can bundle up yourself in a bloody giant hoodie and no one knows. But also she's quite an eco-campaigner. Yeah, right. So she's got to walk the walk. You can't be like those people that say they care about the planet

and then fly around in a private jet all year. Right. I think it's pretty cool, you know, seeing a celebrity do a normal thing like that. What would you do if you had the middle seat next to her? I'd say don't worry, I'm not a... Or just in the same row. I'm not a... Bram guy.

Oh, duh. And that was the last day Billie Eilish flew economy. and now she's got a private chair.

That'd be rad. You'd be the reason she finally crumbled and birched. Well, you can see why she does

the beanie and the hoodie pulled up. Yeah, totally. That's like don't talk to me as well. I think she's in the window and then she'd have security

or two people next to her that she'd know, and you'd just go like, here you go, I'm on a flight. Yeah. Where was Phineas? I don't know, probably riding her next big song. Yeah. Because he wasn't travelling with her. No.

Not that I can see in this. He's like, I'm going private. She's like, yeah, I know, but I made a thing about it. Everyone just loves seeing like a mega celebrity. I'm going private. She's like, yeah, I know, but I made a thing about it. Everyone just loves seeing like a mega celebrity, not even a D grader or a C grader, like an A-list celeb doing something that normal people do. I don't know if I've ever seen a celebrity.

I mean, it was always weird when you'd see Elijah Wood like walking down Cuba Street eating like a kebab. Yeah, we were. And was it Nick Frost and Simon Pegg walked past? And Wellington with Benedict Cumberbatch. Hey, we were. And was it Nick Frost and Simon Pegg walked past? And Wellington with Benedict Cumberbatch. Yeah. That was for one of the Hobbit movies. Yeah. We were down there for the Hobbit movie.

Yeah. And they were just walking around. It was just weird. It's just like, okay. We were tickled by it. Yeah. And we saw Hilary Barry at Gilmore's. That's right.

Celebrity doing normal people things. She was shopping. She said she likes going there Because she likes Buying more at once For a better price Yeah she Hilary Barry and I Love a bulk buy

We're She's smart Buy smarter It's like people Pulling up at the lights And then looking across And being like Hello Jason

Amore on your motorcycle How are you And when Where's your helmet Yeah Put a helmet on I know you look good But for God's sake

We've got rules here. But I thought maybe we could take some calls of when you had a celebrity sighting but they were doing something just like a normal person.

Like you saw a celebrity in the supermarket. Yeah, doing grocery. It was like we were so fascinated last week that

Britney Spears went out on her own and just got some fried chicken. She's hungry, man. She's going through a breakup. Everyone was like, why don't you send someone out? She was like, I just fried chicken. She's hungry, man. She's going through a breakup. Everyone was like,

why don't you send someone out? She was like, I just want to go get some chicken, man. I just want chicken. I just need to stretch the legs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want some fresh air. Billie Eilish,

eco-warrior. Billie Tunberg, more like. You say eco-warrior and she's been spotted in economy. She was going to be on that plane anyway. She's worth millions and tens of millions of dollars.

Just go business. Yeah, I know. Even I've flown business class twice. Do all domestic planes within the US have business? Because in New Zealand you wouldn't have any choice. You'd have to. You'd have to go exit row. That's your business. Or row one and two.

My preferred seats. But everyone's going, everyone's going, it's so cool to see a celebrity just do normal things, forgetting that once upon a time they just would have. Like, it's so wild to think of, I mean, they probably didn't, but like Kim Kardashian just popping out for some, you know, paper towels and... Well, everybody needs paper towels.

Marshmallows and apples. But now she wouldn't dare, because she'd get absolutely mobbed by the paparazzi and people. It's so funny when you watch the Kardashian season and Christian is like, oh, when the daughters come through, she's like, oh my God, I'll make you a cup of tea. What do you want? Oh, I'll just have an Earl Grey. Chef!

Can we have an Earl Grey, please? I'm like, oh my God, boil the jug. They can't even boil their own jug. They don't. Justin, when did you see a celebrity doing normal people things? I was working at a ski field in the States, and I sold tickets to Justin Timberlake. Adam Sandler was there, Joey from Friends, John Stamos.

They were all skiing. Wow. So they just come in and buy tickets like normal people. They don't shut down the ski field for them. No, but suddenly Justin Timberlake, one of his friends trying to buy the tickets and their credit card declined and he had to hand his over.

Oh my God, that's so good. I'll do this so we can lay low. This is my biggest celebrity sighting. I was at Jump in like West Auckland and I saw this guy Vaughan with his kids, and he's from Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. It was crazy. Oh, my God.

He's just doing normal people things. Just doing normal people things. No, actually, I've only been to Jump once where a child wasn't hurt by my boisterous bouncing. Yeah, he's a bouncy boy. But there's rules. You don't cut me off. I'm 100 kgs of absolute rocketing bullet.

Justine, thanks for your call. Let's go to Alice. Alice, when did you spot a celebrity doing normal people things? It was back when I was in high school and down in Masterton. Yeah. Shout out to the one and upper. Yeah, great place. Great place.

Say that again with a bit more passion like you actually mean it. It's hard because she's a master. I don't mean it. Don't say it again then. I love your honesty Alice. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And we went into Pagani and we saw Kate Winslet. Oh my god, I remember this.

It was an all-new Kate Winslet went to Pagani. And everyone was like, oh, it's not our best. Kate, what was Kate Winslet buying in Pagani? I can't remember. What is she? Some basics, just some crucials. I can't even remember, but it was, I mean, obviously,

Pagani is not the classiest of all things. Hey, can we just pump the brakes on the Pagani bashing? I happen to think it's a lovely clothes outlet where women... Have most of them shut down now? Yeah, dude. I went into one the other day. Yeah, they have. She bought two dresses, a couple of blazers,

some jewellery and a pair of sunglasses. She's also in Pagani's demo. I got a photo with her in Pagani. Yeah, because she was down there visiting Peter Jackson because he lives in Marsden as well. Oh, right. So maybe Marsden is a great place. I'm just on the Pagani website.

They're still going strong. No, was she in Heavenly Creatures, Kate Winslet? Yes. Yes, she was. That was like one of their first ever projects. Alice, thank you. Let's go to Jane. Jane, when did you see a celebrity doing normal people things?

Hi, I saw a celebrity doing normal people things when we were in London. We were walking from Kensington Palace, just being tourists and my husband said to me, hey, I think that's David Beckham and he's just picked his daughter up from school and so we kind of walked beside him, behind him and then went home and checked out

the tattoos on the back of his neck to make sure that it wasn't. Not creepy at all, man. That wasn't creepy at all. Almost walked home with David Beckham and Harper from school. I know, a little bit creepy. Wow. It wasn't like super creepy.

Yeah, but yes, kind of. But so they were walking, not driving? No, no, they were walking literally down the street beside us. It was just him and Harper. There were no men in black, no guns, nothing like that. It was just the children cruising. I loved it when my dad picked me up from school with no guns. I preferred it.

When he showed up with the guns, I was like, Dad, just play it cool. He would shake the bodyguards. He'd kind of sneak out without them. Yeah, that's right. Just pick you up. They had to protect Craig from Pioneer Finance. Yeah, they did. Thanks for your call, Jane.

Jack, when did you see a celebrity doing normal people things? Lorena, Jane, can you hear me? Yes, we can. Loud and clear. Loud and clear. Brilliant. Oh, brilliant. So I was working in Otago as a Lord of the Rings guide,

and I was just about to go out on my tour, and someone said, Hey, there's a lanky fella in the back looking at your motorbike, and he is interested in buying it. And I said, Oh, look, I don't want to sell it. He goes, Oh, just go and have a yarn with him. So I went in the back, and that was Orlando Bloom. Just buying a secondhand bike.

What's he doing on Lord of the Rings tour? That's a bit... He's going to correct you. This is where Legolas and Aragorn and Gimli ran across the thing, and he'll be like, actually, mate, it was over there. Yeah, I was there. Orlando Bloom! Wait, so did you...

They were filming for The Hobbit this time around and he came over with them. Right. And did you sell him your motorbike? No, we did not because I actually love my motorbike and I could do a dirty plug-in. If you don't even like motorbikes, you like the look of this one, you should look up Motor Nature on

Instagram. God, Irish and his motorbike. So your motorbike has its own Instagram page? It does indeed, and you'll also see the most beautiful dog on there as well. Oh, he's got a dog as well. Motor Nature, is your profile picture snowboarding? Oh, that is a good

looking dog. What is that? A shepherd of some sort. How tall is Jack? How tall are you, Jack? Do you think we should do a new segment where people call up and plug their Instagrams? What's your Instagram? I reckon Jack's a minger, though,

because he's not even on his own Instagram. He's only on there in full snowboarding attire with a motorbike helmet on. Oh, Jack, are you a minger? Nobody knows who it is. Are you a minger, Jack? Are you a minger? Nobody knows who it is. Are you a minger, Jack? Are you a minger? Are you a minger?

I'm absolutely a two-on-can. Can Jack be our caller of the week, please? I think so. He's a minger. Well, it's disappointing, isn't it? Hey, guys, I just approached him on winning something, so thank you. We're going to throw these mingers a bone. You're our caller of the week.

You won a $50 McCaffey voucher. Thanks to our mates at McCaffey. Well done. Wait a minute. I found him. He's not a minger. Wait. We revoked the voucher.

I'm revoking mingers. That's not a minger. You're super hot, Jack. That's a good looking boy. What the hell? That with a motorbike and a dog. Oh, no. Look at Georgia.

Ladies. Georgia, you're engaged. Ladies. Ladies. We've Georgia. Ladies. Georgia, you're engaged. Ladies, ladies, ladies. We've just given Jack... Look, ladies, when you find that Instagram account, you're going to scroll back

to October the 8th, 2022 to finally see that mug. Look at bloody Shannon getting her laptop open. You went all the way back there, like, so quick. You're a prolific

uploader, though. White jacket. More of the face. More of that mug. Everyone's saying drop the link. Drop the link. It's the mug. Everyone's saying drop the link. Drop the link. It's the mug. It's the motorbike. It's the dog and it's the accent.

Good lord. Give out the Instagram again. Motor nature. M-O-T-O-R nature. Like mother nature but motor instead because it's a motorbike. And not a minger. Snowboarder. Moment capturer. Avid nature enthusiast. Nature explorer. Irish. Yeah. Waitboarder. Moment capturer. Avid nature enthusiast.

Nature explorer. Irish. Yeah. Wait, hang on, hang on. Most important question. Is there a... Is there a Mrs. Minger? Or a Mr. Minger?

She's actually quite hot. Oh. Wait a minute. So this is the lady that I'm finding back here. This is Mrs. Jack. Yeah, that's right. Oh, yeah. God's sake. Hang up on him. Rem is Mrs. Jack. Yeah, that's right. Oh, yeah. God's sake.

Well, you could have hanged up on him. Remark the voucher. You should have told her. He led us all up the garden path and gave us all a slither of hope. Please. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, producer Jared has told us that he found out yesterday that kind of right underneath his nose, but unbeknownst to him,

his girlfriend's been Jared-proofing the house. We don't know what this entails. We just have been told. Yeah. So we go now to the producer's booth to find out what exactly is entailed in Jared-proofing the house, as he is not a curious two-year-old. Though he is petite.

Just a bit of a hopeless 29-year-old. A hopeless 29-year-old. So, like, what kind of stuff is the middy doing? So, this all kicked off because we had two bottles of Coke Zero lime flavour in the fridge. One was hers. He's been trying to push this Coke Lime Zero on me. Why?

Lemon at a pinch. No, no, no, it's good. It's good stuff. Raspberry. Lemon tastes like raspberry. Like you'd sprayed your glass with lemon pledge. Vanilla. Yuck.

Yeah. So there were two identical bottles in the fridge. I wanted my one. I didn't want to drink from her one. But you're together. Don't you kiss and stuff? Yeah. Kiss and stuff.

You smooch. Use the first bottle, and then when that's empty, go to the second. Guys, this is a completely different pon as to what's about to happen. Okay, we'll leave that for a runny day. So, I grabbed the first bottle I saw and then began to overthink it. Okay, so this might not be my one. Screw it. I'm going to wait until the midi gets home

and ask her which one is mine. What? Because she put them in the fridge. Like, I've already pre-faced this with saying I'm a hopeless 29-year-old. But you put a little J on it if you want to remember which one's yours do you want to borrow my label maker yeah do you have a cricket um no i've just got a classic i don't want a brother and then the midi explained to me when she got home that she had put my one right at the front and tucked her one behind something else so that uh she hides it i hide food from Erin. And that's just step one in her list of things that she's doing to make me do stuff or to

make life easier for me. What else? Sometimes I'll get home and there's a massive pile of laundry, not in front of the front door, like a meter back. So I have to avoid it when I walk in. No, you don't have to avoid it. No, that's not the in. No you don't have to avoid it. So you see it, so it's impossible for you to deny knowing that the laundry needed to be done or folded.

Yeah but I have a thing where I tunnel vision so if I'm walking to the kitchen I'm looking at the thing I'm going to the kitchen for not the surrounding stuff. If she had time to move that basket all the way there. Just tread lightly, my friend. I would stop talking. You're just taking three steps into a landmine, a field of landmines, and we're telling you to walk back exactly the way you just walked in. Because even on the way out, you can stand on something. Okay, right.

I don't know. Jared, I hate to tell you, we're all doing this to all of our husbands and partners. There's a couple more things. Yeah. I don't know. Jared, I hate to tell you, we're all doing this to all of our husbands and partners. There's a couple more things. Yeah. No doubt Fletch will have a good, honest take on this. I do the dishes. So part of my process is gathering the dishes,

putting them next to the sink, and then washing them. If they're not next to the sink, I don't think about them. So Emma has started grabbing any dishes that I've missed and bringing it to me and forcefully putting it in the sink in front of me so I can't think about them. So Emma has started grabbing any dishes that I've missed and bringing it to me and forcefully putting it in the sink in front of me so I can't miss it. Right, so you won't do a full collection. Yeah.

I just say, any other dishes around? I always say that when I'm doing the washing. Anybody got anything else? Yeah. Any mugs outside? No, no, we're good. Bit of a last call. And then I wash them and then neck with it.

Boom. Yeah, closing time. And the final thing, which has been around for a while. By the way, so far you are just sounding useless, by the way. You didn't know which bottle of Coke was yours. You'll step over a basket of laundry and you will not do the dishes if they're not there, even though you're doing the dishes. I've been awake from like 4 a.m.

I get home after a stressful day. I just, I'm a zombie. That excuse just doesn't rinse after a while, does it? Oh, no. As the years go on. I've found as the years go on, it's more of a reliable excuse. Yeah, right. We've got a meal planner on the fridge.

That's not to plan our meals, I found out last night. It's so that I don't message Emma every three hours being like, hey, what was for dinner tonight? Oh, yeah, great. Or that you don't eat some of the key ingredients. Yeah, and that. We got good. Oh, that's me.

I'll get all the ingredients for a particular meal and I'll come home like, where's the ham? I'll eat it for a snack. Yeah, or just like tinned tomatoes. I'm like, who's eating tinned tomatoes? It's for dinner. Yeah. Wait a minute.

Who ate the tinned tomatoes? That's the most insane. Ham, a very accessible, easy snack. Tin tomatoes? Your magician boyfriend opens a tin of tomatoes as a snack. I'm not implicating him. I'm just saying others. Get your hands off my tomatoes.

Do you flat with an Italian? I love it in tomatoes. Who ate the tin tomatoes? I've got no idea what you're talking about. I bet I can guess your mum's name. Vaughan will ask Emma five questions about her mum and then have 15 seconds to attempt to find Emma's mum's name. Hi, Emma. Hi. Hi, Emma. Hi.

Hello, Emma. Oh, he's straight into it. Emma. This is just Vaughan. This is how Vaughan gets into the psychic tower. So ground. He's grounding him. He's docking.

He's docking. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. And a 56 KBS. He's docking. He's docking. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. 56 KBS. Emma, I've got five questions in which, and then 15 seconds to guess your mum's name. Yeah. Okay.

Question one. Emma's like, yeah, bro. Does your mum like Taylor Swift? Probably not. No. Okay. That's fine. What does she, does she have a favourite band?

No, this is a... U2. Oh, you got a bonus there. U2 mum. Janice. All right, Michelle. She's a Janice. I mean, we've got to start with the...

She's a Jan. Mums love U2. Not my mum, but yeah. Michelle. You've got to chuck Michelle in there. Michelle my mum, but yeah. Michelle. You've got to chuck Michelle in there. Michelle loves you too. Some Irish names. Cathy.

Yeah. Cathy. Is your mum born Sarah Sheff? My mum's not a you too lady, no. Okay. No, no. Your mum? No.

Oh, we made a bold statement that mums love you too and then could not back it up. No. Georgia, does your mum like you? Nope. Nope. Does anybody out there, does anybody your mum like you? Nope. Nope. Does anybody out there, does anybody's mum like you?

Shannon's got it. Shannon's kind of does. Okay. Yeah. She dabbles in Bono. Your mum like you too, Jared? No. No.

All right. You really screwed your face up there. We'll put Shannon's mum's name down. Hot Legs Houlihan. Hot Legs. Hot Legs Houlihan. What's your mum's name, Shannon? Bev. Same as you, Fletch.

That's right. When you pointed at Fletch, I thought, I was like, your mum's not Carl. How bizarre. Carla. Alright. Who do you think mum's voting for this year in the general election? I hate to get political at this stage, but, you know, I am.

I don't know anyone but Labour. Okay. So she's not voting Greens. She falls on that side of it. Okay. Nat. Put Nat. You reckon Natalie? Yeah. If your name is Nat, you've got to vote for the National Party. That makes sense. Yeah. What about putting some National Party MPs down?

Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. It could be Jerry, but like the female Jerry. Paula. Not the... Judith. Yep.

Did I have a Judith? Your crush at Collins. Yeah. Do you think Judith would love a U2 as well? She'd love a U2. Judith. Judith Collins would absolutely pound... They've got a Nicola too.

Put that down. She'd pound bourbon to U2. I would absolutely pound. They've got a Nicola too. Put that down. She'd pound bourbon to you too. I think we've exhausted all the women in the National Party. Not a lot of them. Excuse me. There's many more somewhere down there purely for numbers. Backbenchers. Oh, yeah.

Okay. What about classics? Ruth. Oh, yeah. Ruth. Ruth Richardson. Jenny. I thought you meant Betty Ginsberg.

Ship. The ship. Yep. I'll put a Jenny. I'll put, Ruth. Ruth Richardson. Jenny. I thought you meant Betty Ginsberg, but... Ship. The ship. Yep. I'll put a Jenny, I'll put a Jenny. Okay. Next question. What are mum's siblings' names? William and Janet.

William and Janet. William and Janet. Okay, traditional. That's a classic. Traditional. Take your Jan off, because did you have a... I did, I had Jan second. Yeah, okay, take that off the list. I want to do Jan? I did. I had Jan second. Yeah, okay.

Take that off the list. I want to do Janice and Janet. No. Oh, that would be silly. I might go Adonna though. That feels like a family that could home Adonna. You can leave Wilhelmina off as well, I reckon. I'm sure that's a bit far-fetched.

I might go Amanda. Did you have a Tracy? Did we have a Tracy? No, we'll go Tracy. That's kind of that same kind of vibe, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. And Tracy loves you too. Tiffany?

Alinda? Alinda, yes. Liz, do you have Elizabeth and Liz? I don't, but I'll put it there. Yeah, put a Liz down. I'll put Elizabeth in that kind of cover. You got a Christine just to be safe? Yeah, I've always got to go Christine.

Someone's texting Claire and that feels right, actually. That does feel right, actually. Thank you to our clairvoyant listener. Next question. Next question. Next question is, what are mum's top dinner recipes? I say this because last week I made my mum's chicken pineapple rice risotto, and it was a big hit. It was a big hit with the kids.

So what would you ask mum to make if you were popping around and she said, what do you want for dinner? She would make chicken vegetable soup. Oh, yum. That's like Aaron's mum. That's an entree. That's not a meal. Put a chinette.

That's not a main meal. My mum would never serve Zubas a meal. We're a solids family. Yes. My mum's a big meatloaf. You can tell by the size of us, we're a solids family. What are some of her solid dishes though, Emma?

Oh, God. She's not really a cook. Oh, okay. There's a really a cook. Oh, okay. Shut across the bow, Emma. Any meatloaf? Does she do a meatloaf, a good nachos, or a good anything? No, basically salad, potatoes. Fish?

Does she do a schnitzel? No. No, she's very bold. Yeah, schnitty sounds quite bold for Emma's mum. Pam's not laying a finger on the kitchen. Yeah, Pam's. Yeah, Snitty sounds quite bold for Emma's mum. Pam's not laying a finger on the kitchen. Yeah, Pam's. Yeah, Alison? No, because you were saying Alison Holst.

Yeah. No, because she said she's no Alison Holst. Well, put it down. It's from the era, though. No, it's wrong. You reckon it's wrong? It's definitely wrong, but I'll put it down. Who was the woman that did food in a minute?

That was Alison Goffton. Okay, so two Alisons there in the cooking department. Okay. And finally, you should never ask, but how old is mum? What was her year of birth? I don't know, but she's retired. Wait a minute, you don't know how old your mum is? No, 60-something.

Maybe like 67 or 68. 67, 68 and doesn't know how to cook a snitchy. Hey, look, she's gone by. I'm sure she can boil some beans and cook an egg, you know? Yeah, yeah, she can cook an egg, yep. Okay, so she can cook an egg. What? This is throwing you, isn't it?

It's throwing me because the connection between daughter and mother doesn't feel too strong. She said that she's not much of a cook. Yeah. She said anybody but labor, but it was not specific. Well, Emma's just stating the facts. But then she's like, mom can't cook and I don't know how old she is. And does she exist? Of course she exists.

Is she? I always. No, you've run out of questions. I just want to make sure she's talked to her about her in the present tense. She's still with us. Yeah, okay. Okay, yeah, I got my list. You're ready to go.

You're not going to add any more from that last question. No, I lost connection. Emma, Emma. I told you, I lost connection. If it's not on this list, it never happens. He's unplugged. Emma, Vaughn now has 15 seconds to try and guess your mum's name. If you hear mum's name, yell out,

Stop! That's my mum's name. Vaughn, your time starts now. Karen, Michelle, Kathy, Hot Legs, Houlihan, Bev, Helen. Stop, stop, you said it. Hot Legs, Houlihan. Hot Legs, Houlihan. Which one? The very first one, Karen.

Karen. Oh my god. Literally. Because you always, that's a rule. You've got to start with the classics, Karen. Always put down Karen. I thought, I love that you didn't call stop till we got to Hot Legs Houlihan, and I was like, we've done it.

We've done it. We thought it was impossible. How did she keep it mum when we said Hot Legs Houlihan and she didn't just burst out, you know? You triggered it. Bonus round. While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name. Now,

it has been done before, Emma. One guess. Multiple times. At one name. No questions. Karen and Bruce. Karen and Bruce. Karen and John. Karen and John's a classic. Mark. Charles.

Nah, Charlie. Oh, they're 67. Charles. Nah, Harry. Late 60s. Nah. Charlie. Oh, they're 67. Nathan. Charles. Nah. Harry. Late 60s. Bruce. Royal family now. Trevor.

Kevin. Andrew. We've said it for sure. It's always one of the Beatles. Yeah, one of the Beatles. John Paul. Oh, yeah, one of the royal family. Or one of the popes.

John Paul George. Philip and Karen. Philip royal family. Or one of the popes. John Paul George. Philip and Karen. Philip? It's very rarely Ringo. It's never Ringo. Who's a Richard? Ringo's a Richard, right? Is he? Yeah, on his birth certificate. Okay, so John Paul George and Richard. Yeah, that's...

One of the funniest buns of all time. John Paul George and Dick. Okay. Would've gone all down well. Vaughn, you must lock in one name. I'm going Philip. You're going Philip. Did we feel good on Philip? I'm not feeling it. Phil and Karen.

Phil and Karen. Karen and Phil. Phil. I liked your Bruce, but it could be a John or a Paul. It's always a battle. Philip. You're going Philip. Yeah.

I got a good feeling on Philip. Emma, what's your dad's name? William. Oh! I said it was a royal. You said it was a royal. I went generation too high. Billy.

Too high. Well, Emma, we didn't guess dad's name, but one guess, Karen, your mum's name, and you've won $100. For God's sake, go and reconnect with your mother. Go and ask your mother how old she is. Go and ask her how old she is. She won't like that.

We'll work it out. Find her passport and have a sneaky party. Emma, thanks for playing. As we have mentioned, Girl Math has Girl Math. Girl Math. Girl Math. As we have mentioned, Girl Math has gone global. And one man called Turner Gentry from Canada, who is a host on Pure Country Morning Show, thinks that it could be sort of translated for another group of people. Good morning, Turner.

Good morning. It's nice to be here, guys. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, I love what you're doing and I just thought I'd ask nicely if I could steal it. Well, who do you want to steal it? This isn't how radio works. You don't ask, you just take.

You just take it. We're all doing the same thing. You're like, what? I haven't heard of that. You've at least got to change the name in about 5% of it. Yeah, that's right. So if we're doing girl math

and that's for the girlies trying to justify purchases, who do you want to justify for? Well, I wanted to do gay math because I don't have any girlies on my show. It's just me in the morning. Okay, you want to do a bit of gay math. Do you think the rules of girl math, which are basically, you know, everything can be justified to the point where it's basically free. Do you think that applies to the gays?

I think so, yeah. I think we, you know, I'm not going to say I'm one of the girlies, but I'm pretty close. I mean, I love that for you. So then how will gay math differ from girl math, do you think? I don't think it'll be very different. It's just me helping the ladies get through their purchases is sort of the vibe I'm going with

I thought you were going to get the gays to ring up with their purchases yeah they're like oh no I don't I don't have enough of those in my town oh I thought you were going to get listeners I was wondering you're in a country station like stereotypically stereotypically of course

I wasn't imagining that was huge gay so you want the girlies to ring up and you'll gay math, girl math. Exactly, yeah. We'll work on it together because it's just me and the boys. Right. I thought we were justifying rush purchases or harnesses or something. Yes, I did. Losers!

I mean, one should never have to justify their harness. No. That's my rule. One should never have to justify. We've got Dimitri on the phone who wants us to justify a ball and gag. Now, the ball and gag. Good Lord. No, I don't think that's kosher for my audience, but what do you think?

And now we're going to play some Willanowson on Country Music Canada. Well, look, I mean, as we say, I mean, Girl Math is global. Everyone's doing it. It's on every bloody podcast and radio station and article. I like this evolution of Girl Math. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Girl Math, gay Girl Math. You know what? I'll take it. If you guys are okay with giving me the thumbs up, I will run with it. I mean, the pleasure of you asking is truly the manners of Canada. Yeah, great manners. As a white male, I'll just say

take this thing that the females of the show invented. By all means. Have at. Oh, absolutely. I've got a purchase if you guys have time to do a little bit of girl math with a gay, hypothetically. Absolutely. Amazing.

So I went to Europe for the very first time with my family this past month. And in the entire month that my parents were there, my mom had one request, and it was go to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. Oh, yeah. So I offered to pay, and it came out to 491 British pounds, which is about 1,050 New Zealand dollars. Wow. Wait, did he? For that kind of money, he better be yelling at you and be there. You know, he, yeah, he was not there, regrettably.

Okay. Can I ask how old your mother is? I just want to work out how long she's got left. She'll be 60 in October. 60, so let's give her 30. Okay. We'll give her 30. We're going to break that cost down by 30

because that's how many years you're going to have to hear about it if you didn't take her. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. To this Gordon Ramsay. So what's that? We'll round it to 1,000. No, no, let's just, how many people were there? There's no point girl-mathing everybody's, right?

We've got to break this down to per person first. Okay, that's fair. It was, there was four of us. So what is that, 275 a person? 275 a person. Now, so if mum was 275 and she's going to live for 30 more years, can you do a bit of division? We'll get the girlies on because this is their moment to shine.

Less than $10 a year. Less than $10 a year. Less than $10 a year. So mum's basically free already. You got to eat. So, you know, like I never regret an expensive meal myself. So we don't even need to justify yours. Who are the other tagalongs? My dad and my little sister.

Oh, well, dad's the same theory applies. So that's $20 we've got it down to. And dad would have had to have heard. If you hadn't taken mum, dad would have heard about it way more than you. He would have divorced her. Yeah. And then they would have, that's an expensive divorce. Blowing all their money and there would have been no inheritance for you

because dad would have gone single and ready to mingle. Already half the inheritance is gone. So that's the same thing. I don't know how much you're in line for, but there's a lot there. Even if it was $100,000 to $500,000 that he was going to inherit, that would have been gone had he not have taken them to Gordon Ramsay. Girlies, any theories from you?

Well, look, did you get an Instagram photo at this? Yeah, that's important. I did, yes. Both of the meal and the family, you know, having a meal together. Yeah, right. Yeah, there's got to be some mass in it there. Priceless.

Priceless. You're saying that's priceless. Yeah. It didn't count unless it's on the in it there. Priceless. Priceless. You're saying that's priceless. Okay. It didn't count unless it's on the gram, you know? So you've validated the experience. And by posting about it twice, that's double the validation. Yeah, that's right. Also, if your other option for a meal that night was slightly sketchy

and you got food poisoning, it would have ruined the rest of the holiday. And so that would have been money lost. Yeah, so you're going, your travel insurance is vast. You've got to go to the hospital and you're not in your hometown. Yeah. That costs money. I mean, we're talking, your travel insurance is biased. You've got to go to the hospital and you're not in your hometown. Yeah. That costs money. I mean, we're talking, you've actually made thousands here, Turner. You've actually made thousands.

Well, we don't know the inheritance, but even without it, you've already saved a few thousand. Yeah, yeah. And with the inheritance, we don't know. Your parents could be millionaires. We've made this man a millionaire. I mean, you're welcome, Turner. Overnight. Brilliant.

Thank you. Yeah, wow. So that dinner was basically free. The dinner was not only free, we've made Turner a millionaire. Yeah, wow. Just like that. Just like that. Well, there you go, Turner.

See how easily it's done? And I believe the Canadian dollar just went up against the Kiwi dollar yesterday. Oh, okay. So, yeah. He's made even more? He's made even more money? Depending on where you are. He's going to be a He's made even more money? Depending on where you are. Yeah. You could be a multi-millionaire. Yeah.

Depending on what country. You move to Thailand, I tell you what, we're looking at billions! Well, best of luck, and I can't wait to hear how your gay math in Canada on a country music station goes for the girlies. Brilliant. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks, guys. Just a quick check. Do you want to check the Luke Combs? Is Luke Combs

like your Rihanna or Lady Gaga? Okay. Well, I was raised on country music, so I do like it. Like, I like my job. But Lady Gaga is my Lady Gaga. I will say Carrie Underwood might be my Katy Perry. Is that okay? Yeah, that makes sense.

Are you playing Luke Combs' Fast Car every 45 minutes on your station too? Every hour and a half, but we throw in a bit of Morgan Wallen too. Oh, we do. That's awesome. We're more pop music. You can have them back any time you want. Turner, thank you so much.

Best of luck with Gay Girl Math. Thank you, guys. I really appreciate your time. Have fun. Nice to chat to you. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah.

International Coastal Cleanup Day. It's coming up soon. That's good. But in 2019, it fell on the year of... By the way, I'm really into the time-lapse videos of people cleaning up waterways with LA. We cleaned up the dirtiest waterway in Bali, and it's just full. Oh, and it's like a dam, and then they, like, catch it all. Yeah, And it's just full. Oh, it's like a dam. And then they like catch it all.

Yeah. And it's just full of plastics. Yeah, right. And they go through and they just bag it all up and burn it. Interesting though, in the time you watch all of those clean up videos, you could actually be cleaning up some of your local neighbourhood. What? Why?

I always pick rubbish on the side of the road. Okay, okay. I say rubbish on the side of the road. It was just a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, because you're spending all that time watching someone of the road. Okay, okay. I say rubbish on the side of the road. It was just a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, because you're spending all that time watching someone clean. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's getting ready. What's that? My local ones, there's not a lot of rubbish, but there's a lot of, like, weeds and noxious plants. Can I just walk up there chopping them down? I don't know. And, like, poisoning the stump? Probably not.

We're all doing our bit. They're a toxic weed, and they're a waste. Yeah. But anyway, it's a different sort of clean-up. But International Coastal Clean-up Day in 2011 fell on September. No, not in 2011. In 2019 fell on September 21st. Now, a very eager South Korean mayor in the town of Jindo wanted to participate.

Okay. However, upon inspection of his beach, it was clean. Well, he had a clean beach. Oh, well, job done. It's disappointing, though, when you're really geared up to clean. But he was getting people jazzed up about it. So. Oh, please don't tell me he made it.

No, get out. He did not. He imported and dumped on their local beach a ton of garbage. And was like, look at this mess we've got to clean up. And then 600 volunteers went down and they cleaned it all up. And then someone picking up the rubbish was like, this is nuts because I walk down this beach all the time and I pick up any rubbish. And there's very little rubbish on this beach. Even the stuff that washes in from the sea, not a huge amount.

And so they looked into it and found out that he had indeed trucked in and dumped over a ton of rubbish so that he could participate and look like a good guy on International Coastal Cleanup Day. Have a photo opportunity and look good. Yeah. Oh my god. He apologised for the

trouble he caused and the event was meant to raise awareness about the seriousness of coastal waste. Just find another beach. Go to another beach that's got more. He said all the litter had been retrieved and taken care of 100%. He said he could guarantee that none had blown into the ocean. How did he guarantee that?

How did he guarantee nothing blows into the ocean? Or that the tide came in a little bit higher that day and took half of it with it. And he said there had been absolutely no secondary pollution, but Andy learned his lesson. He wouldn't do it again. But did he stay in office, I wonder? I do not know what happened to him.

That's wild. That is so stupid. Yeah. Nuts, right? Just to participate in something and look like a good guy. My bloody beach is far too clean for this event. It's not clean. We want to get people down there.

So today's fact of the day is in 2019 in South Korea, a mayor dumped rubbish on his beach so that people had something to pick up on International Coastal Cleanup Day. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I filmed seven days last night. It's the season finale on tonight on 3, 7.30. Free plug. Free plug there for your show. Great episode.

You can join 3 at 7 because I'm going to be on the project. Are you? You look stoked about it. Oh, Dad wants to go home. You know me. Agree to do something and then think, I could be at home. No, you'll have a blast once you're there. Yeah, no, it's good people, good people.

Well, we'll catch us both. But on the show, on Seven Days, Chris Parker, and I went to drama school with Chris and Leon Bottom, our friend. And he was like, oh, my God, me and Leon went and saw that show by those YouTube guys. And it's the one called Talk to Me, made by... A show or a movie? A movie. A movie, okay.

Did I say show? You said show. She was? A movie. A movie, okay. Did I say show? You said show. She was in theatre mode. Yes, I was. So it's written by... I've heard about this. New Zealand Horror Film, right? It is.

Racka Racka is their YouTube channel. Right. Right. Yeah. Anyway, so online has been blowing up about this because people are like, it is the horror film of the year. It is terrifying.

Proceed with caution. What made you, some huge horror Stephen King level person saw it and said tick. Really? Really. So it's almost like, think Jumanji, right? They find a hand that's just

like a game in a way, and you're supposed to grab the hand. It's bop it. It's bop it. Twist it. Twist it. Pull it.

Grab it. Now you're possessed by the devil. Your score is 666. Yeah. So what I am gathering from just a quick read is that then it possesses you and kind of takes you over, and it looks very terrifying. And is it quite gory, the movie? Very gory, apparently.

And is that what's making people upset? So much so that people are spewing in the audience and they are passing out. Now, this is what Chris Parker told me yesterday. He went with our friend Leon and at some point in the movie, Leon just goes, oh no, and stands up, tries to stumble out of the theatre and faints, hitting his face on a wall. Because of the horror movie.

One should never try to move once they feel the faint coming on. Just sit and go with. Yeah. No, he tried to bail. He tried to get out of there. He just wanted to get out of the cinema because he was like, I just can't take this movie anymore. Yeah. So, I mean, I've can't take this movie anymore. Yeah.

So, I mean, I've watched some terrible stuff. I remember watching Passion of the Christ when I was like 14, 15 years old. That was too much. That was a bit much for me. That was a lot. And I remember feeling really crook. I knew the end.

No, that's not gruesome or anything. But it's the same as horrors. You know it's not true, so it doesn't matter. You know what I mean? Yeah, you're like, okay, there's someone around the corner, but it's the same as horrors. You know it's not true, so it doesn't matter. You know? You know what I mean? Yeah, you're like, okay, there's someone around the corner, but not really. Yeah. It was Saw 3 for me.

It's the only movie I've ever, like, felt physically ill. I remember we were in. Is that the one with the pit of syringes? Correct. Correct. Wasn't that 2 or was that 3? I thought it was 3. I just, yuck.

And then they fall over there. I was thinking of like, mullied up old rotten animals and I was just like, yeah. Saw movies are a step above horrors because they... It's a two. Yeah, Saw II was the pit of strangers.

Right. What happens in Saw III? Those kind of movies are a step above horrors, aren't they? Because they're more of a, I don't know, yeah. Yeah. I guess it is horror,

but it's different than. It's just gore. It's just gore and. Not for me. The scenarios. Well, apparently this movie is really, really, really full on. And that's why Leon fainted. He is not a feinty person either.

So be careful if you go into this movie. Be careful. But I want to know what made you faint. Because fainting is really dramatic. I don't think I've ever fainted. I fainted once. Right. Oh, no, twice when you used to do that stupid game as a kid

and they were like, no, you're killing brain cells. Oh, the breathy, breathy, pushy, pulley thingy. And then you faint and you're like, that was wicked. No, it's not good. Do not do that. Yeah. I fainted. But wasn't it neat when that was the most dangerous thing

parents had to worry about for their teenage children to be doing? Yeah, I know. Back before meth. Yeah. Back before vapes. Put a laughing gas in a balloon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But mine was I had an injury, long story,

and my mum ran me a bath too hot, Voltaren. That's when I figured out I couldn't take it. That combined with the pain. Yeah. Got out of the bath, hit the deck. That was it. You fainted at giving blood. I fainted giving blood, yeah. I don't think I That combined with the pain Yeah Got out of the bath Hit the deck That was it You fainted at giving blood I fainted giving blood

Yeah I don't think I take 500ml Nah but it was I was anemic Which is weird for a man Who eats so much red meat I am red to the core But yeah they were just like

And then they watched it for a bit And yeah They're just like Don't do that for a while Maybe it was something like You watched your partner give birth It's really fun and you got overwhelmed it is an overwhelming situation to be in so if you're a little easy queasy you

can totally go down there was an accident and you saw the bone sticking through and you're out that made me go what made you faint there's a new horror movie that's uh making people a vom and faint yes my friend fainted when he saw it yesterday and it just really surprised me that he had that reaction. What's it called again, this movie? Talk to Me. Talk to Me. It's a hand. We want to know, though, what's made you faint?

Yeah, sometimes it makes sense and sometimes you just hit the deck. Rachel, good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good. What made you faint? Can I start by saying I've never fainted before this happened? Okay.

I was with a friend to watch her partner play rugby and a man in the other team broke his femur. Didn't see it, just heard it. Hang on, how do you break your femur in a rugby game?

I don't know, but that's your thigh bone. My friend broke his because he was in a very bad car crash don't know, but... That's your thigh bone. My friend broke his because he was in a very bad car crash. It's harder than concrete. And that's the thing, you heard it, and the reaction from the people leaping off him was pretty bad. But I didn't know him, you know, feel for him. But next minute, not only did I faint,

but the ground was so soft, I didn't come too straight away. So I wake up on the ground and all these people are looking after me instead of the femur guy. Oh, you bloody, you hijacked that, didn't you? You hijacked his moment. You stole his thunder, yeah.

I made eye contact with him lying horizontal on the ground. Oh my God. Do you know, a girl, we were dissecting cow's hearts in school, and she fainted, and on her way down, she made eye contact with me. It's weird, eh? Your eyes, when you faint, are just like, look at me. People must have thought I was the love of life or something and feeling so much sympathy.

Yeah, gotcha. So needless to say, for the rest of the season, when I attended these games, I was the fainting girl. Yeah. Yeah, gotcha. Yeah, they got you a little chair. They got you a little chair. A little camping chair. A little sort of, you know, a package of electrolytes. Okay, keep your messages coming through. What made you faint is what we are asking you right now.

And some of these, I just tried to bring up the clip from Saw 2 when she's in the needle pit and you guys abandoned me. I watched it in the middle pit and you guys abandoned me. I watched it a bit. In the middle of that. That's enough. This is a movie that's making people quite queasy and faint and spew. Talk to me.

The horror film of the year. My friend saw it yesterday and fainted. Very unlike him. How very dramatic. We did go to drama school. Megan, when did you faint? What made you faint? More than a team.

I was about 12 and I was on holiday at a hoppy beach and it was a really hot day. And I was in this caravan getting a spray-on tattoo, like an airbrush. Yeah, yeah. It was very classy. It was a Batman emblem on the tramp stamp here. What a bad B, bad B. Sorry, it was a what emblem?
