More chances to win cash this week on ZM. 8 o'clock. Activator. Call through. We'll give you $100. Heads or tails. Take it if you want. Double your money.

Yeah. Or take it. Just do whatever you want. It's actually your world. There's no rules. I reckon we keep going until we get to at least A few thousand, four hundred. Three, six thousand.

Then, you know, six thousand becomes twelve. Yeah. Let's just keep going. Well, your chance to play at eight o'clock. Vaughn, you've got the top six for us? Yeah, apparently, I myself at the weekend, I served some... You got served.

I'll see you in court. Oh, Jesus. I got served in an ad. It was an account dealing with a lovely off-the-grid Irish sort of getaway. And I thought, wouldn't that be nice? Wouldn't it? Wouldn't it be nice to pack up sticks and move to County Cork in Ireland, I think it was? Well, that's just a pipe dream for me, but not for Mark Zuckerberg.

I don't know if he got served an ad on Meta, which would be wildly ironic, and decided to buy an Irish castle. But he has. He's got a little bit more cash than you, I think. Just a smidge. Yeah, he does. Just a smidge more cash. I've got the top six things Zook can do in his Irish castle.

Were you about to say, Fletch, that. that owning a castle would be a pain because of all the dusting and the size and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Because it feels like it would be awesome until like, yeah, a month and you're like, this place is filthy.

Can everyone just pick up their shit? I have an apartment and I'm always dusting. Yeah. Imagine if you had like 18 rooms. Yes. I mean, he'd obviously pay people, but... Yeah, I don't think he's down with the dice and with the head off, you know,

suck him up the skirting boards or anything like that. Going around the... Yeah, I don't think he's doing that. Little tight corners and the suits of armour and such. No. Get to that in the top six soon. But next on the show...

A study has revealed something that women want more of from men in the bedroom. Okay. And I think this could be a little PSA. From women to men. Do you hear us? The Fletch morning, Haley,

Big Pod. Here's something, Pohom, for him. We're going to need you to speak up a little bit in the bedroom. Now, you know, Love Honey, they do... Um,

bee stuff. Honey. No. Love honey. Lipum. Six, um, surveys. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah.

And they've got websites and they sell all sorts of fun things. They did a survey on noise in the bedroom. And I don't mean sort of... But a brown noise. Gosh, I've been off the brown noise for a while. And then last night, I put it back on. Welcome back to my life. I wouldn't know what to do without me brown noise.

I just, I have the hum of the city. That's my brown noise. Yeah, well, that where the... It's too quiet out in the sort of semi-country. Anyway, so Love Honey did a survey looking into noise in the bedroom. Now, 94% of women believe... 94%? I'd say vast majority.

Believe they are louder than their male partners in the bedroom. And the vast majority of men agree. This has been a long thing. Now, they had a great name for... Well, I believe it's a scientific or the medical name. Copulatory vocalisations. Yeah. Copilatory vocalisations.

Noise in the bedroom. Men, they're not doing it, apparently. Anyone care, with two men present? Two, comment? Oh, well, kind of all you were just like, mm, eh. Oh, no, yeah. So, if female, that wouldn't be sexy men. What are sexy men noises?

Oh, my God. Just little movers. I'm asking. Yeah. But also not making them, hear, or making them releasing them, whatever noise. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, natural. Natural noises.

But don't, no, muffle them. So women say it's the sexiest thing ever, an instant turn on. Reasons that men gave for staying quiet. Okay. They've learned silence from adult films. But the women are performing as well. Hey. No one.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a little over the top. No one does that. But I've learned that that's like, that's the woman's role as to make the noise, and he's like, whirr-r-r-r-ram. Some of them say they feel silly. Oh, okay.

It makes them feel silly making noise. Others say they're concentrating too hard. Well, we've got a job to, don't we? You've got to concentrate. Got to keep all your ducks in a row. Yeah, they've got too many things. I remember reading about this and there's a bit. Yeah, there's a bit.

You don't want that noise. Go, oh, oh, what's next? When you're busy. Oh, I bloody forgot the, I forgot to do the twirley thing. Yeah, sometimes they are concentrating too much on things like stamina and pace. Common as simple, eh? This is so sweet. We're not great multitaskers.

It's like CPA. You're staying alive for the BGs. Huh? Huh. Stay alive. You don't want that to be your noise that you make in the bedroom. Just anything. But this is the thing.

It's like, this is heterosexual, obviously. But like, the men are going, we feel silly. where we've learnt that this is wrong and women are saying, please make more noise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that's a clear. Saying stuff,

sometimes you say things in the hate of the moment and afterwards you're a little embarrassed you said it. Oh my God. Oh my God. Hey, like sometimes you'll say something and you'll be like, and then like a post-quential clarity,

you'll be like, oh, I hope they don't remember I said that. It's okay. They said that. And then they do it, of course, they will, but who's going to bring it up? So there was a therapist. And then you have to sit down afterwards

and you're just like, I just got to address the things I said. I said some stuff. I don't think that of you. That was bananas. Yeah. That was wine. I've never called anyone there in my life.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. It's just like, then I know, you know, I see you, choke me. And you did,

and you did, and then I realized it didn't like that. So there was a sex therapist. And it was Tiff Hudson. I read about it. Tiff Hudson, she's a sex therapist.

She said, Moning gives partners clear judgment-free feedback. That's the best thing, right? More of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. We need that, too.

Because when women do it, men are like, how yeah, I'm nailing this. Women were like, yeah, come on let me know. It's actually a good point, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, it's just feedback in the moment. Let them know what you like. Her advice for quiet a partner.

Here we go. Start small. Let out a breath. Oh, yeah, okay. You're going to do it. No, not test my breath, breath. Okay, man, that's closer. Let it come naturally. Peer sounds with simple verbal clues.

Cues, like right there. or more of them. Add a girl. And then... And then... Good on you, mate. You're not on the farm, vol. If embarrassment is your thing,

we feel a bit silly, she says, practice solo. So when you're doing your at-home sessions, on your own. Well, embarrassment is some people's thing, isn't it? Yes, well, exactly. Shame it. Tell me how small it is.

I love it. Kick me. The ZDM Podcast Network Lauren and Jake We're getting married, right? Oh, congrats Lauren and Jake. Love is alive. And they were like, guys, you know how usually it's like up to you, see you at the ceremony?

And if it's later in the day, maybe the guests have a drink if there's a drink spot by the, yeah, by the bus stop. It is important not to have too many. Oh, we'll pop a bottle while we're putting on our dresses and makeup and stuff. Just because last the night before, we had a big one before. Well, you wouldn't have been able to have a big night the night before because Jake and Lauren, they had a five-kilometer morning fun run for all their guests. Oh, Haley didn't go.

peak, you know, roasting, and it's been really nice. I saw a video yesterday and I saw a video yesterday, no witness of the comments, like, here we go. Here we go.

And there was like one and I was like, oh, I really was a bad guy. I'm the bad guy. With my daughter recently, she's like, you know, when you see a video and you're like, oh, the comments are going to be so mean

and you go in and they're not that are real nice and you're like, maybe I'm the problem. I'm a prick. Or they deleted all of them. Yeah, they hid them. It's giving big delete. The internet would hate this.

White people have seriously gone too far with this one. It's so white. They're wide, they're white. Yeah, that's very white. They're Canadian white. You know, that's... Brown people just go for a run

because they know that's what it takes to keep hot and brown. Oh, God. I affirm it. Oh my God. You're telling me I can go for a run on my wedding day? Oh my God. You just do that much son.

God is what are getting out there. We've got lots of friends who are runners. Yeah. Like, if our friends did this, get a grip. If this is not my wedding, I'm not getting married. The people in the comments

are the worst. Are they worse in the bright and groom? They're worse in the bright and groom. They're enabling this behaviour. If this is in my tab. This is not the kind of love I want. Ugh. On my wedding day, too,

we're getting... We're getting... On my wedding day. I was like, well, wow, where did this come from? We're getting McDonald's McMuffins. You know what I mean? We're having a hair of the dog, Shandy.

And we're sitting down. We listen to music. We're popping bottles. We're getting ready. I'm not going for a run. And also, Also, when I run the off chance, I get so hot afterwards, and then I'll have a shower and then I'll be hot again.

Yeah, the hot stays, eh? Yeah, you'll be hot and puffy. Oh my God, if I ever become a bride, I need to just sit still. I can't be moving fluids around. I'm getting too hot. Play Z-Ns, Flet's, Fawn and Haley. There are some cute little community. Like a library?

Because we've got one of these, I've got one of these over the road from my apartment. It's like a little library community box. It's got a flap. Yeah. So the rain doesn't get in and you can go and get a book, leave a book. You see them all the time. Well, popping up all over America, and I've just looked at the map, these are, like, hugely popular.

There's even some in Sydney and Melbourne looking at the map. Freeblockbuster.org, you know, like Blockbuster? Yeah, the movie, the DVD, VHS. These are little VHS and DVD libraries that are all. all over America and over the world there's on an Ireland, like the map, some in Mexico. Yeah. All over.

And they're just little community DVD VHS libraries that people go on. I can't play it. I don't have a DVD player. Oh, my PlayStation. You got a slot? You don't have to get a PlayStation with the slot anymore. You can get the digital ones.

Yeah. I wouldn't have any idea. I don't, I did like tell my parents why we need to get rid of their boxes of DVD. VHSs and CDs. I was like, Dad, you don't, you can't play this. It's all there.

Oh, I don't want to get rid of that. That CD's great. I was like, it's there. It's on the phone. It's there on the phone. You've got it now. It's all in there. Anyone you can ever want

or like, we buy records and stuff. You're like, that's a fun process. We've got a record player. But DVD, I wouldn't have any idea how to play it. That's the thing. So many people have been, have DVD or VHS collections just in their garage. Yes. Remember people built shelves in their lounge?

Yes. Yeah. People built, like, when they're renovated. Wall units. Wall units built into the wall. Around the TV. What's in the wall units now? For all these box sets that you would never watch again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so funny. Maybe it's like a nostalgia thing. Or like there are collectors. Yeah, and I mean, you could easily buy a cheap DVD player. Yeah, totally. And yeah, it's just... When you get all the menu items.

Especially now that, like, you know, subscriptions are so expensive. People are ditching the subscriptions. Uh-huh. And going and sourcing. free or next to free DVDs. Yeah. I mean, I kind of get it. I mean, my boyfriend has a massive crate of DVDs.

Is it being stored in my garage? Because he doesn't even have space? Yeah. Why? Get rid of them. I know. He was like jazzing over all the extra menu items and stuff. Oh.

But all of it's all on YouTube. Exactly. It's the same YouTube and it's there. I think it's a nostalgia thing. Bouncing around. Yeah, the DVD, but it's all. Boing, Boing,

Boing. So, some of these, so much effort into those little menus and stuff on DVDs. Oh,

yeah. Some of these free blockbuster libraries use, because you know in America they have those newspaper

stands. Yeah, and you put in your quarter and you grab it and use that. Some of those have just been spray painted

and turned into these. Oh, yeah. That's really cool. I mean, it's kind of cute. If people are using it, then how,

yeah, all the power to them. I don't know how they get away with using the blockbuster because somebody owns the blockbuster like trademark

because they purchased it. Is it blue and yellow? Like they've done it proper. Yeah, it looks like How many do we have left to New Zealand? Video stores. I know there's one in Moronsville. I can speak to United Video in Moronsville.

New Zealand's last Blockbuster video store was located in Dargaville and closed at the end of January 2020. Blockbuster was never one of, never massive in New Zealand. It was United Video and Civic Video. Video Easy. Video easy.

Those are the big ones. Yeah. There's RO still. REO video. which is like Artie. Artie. I got a nice little art house film from Arro.

Right. There's a Devonport Film Club. There's a few around. There's United Videos. But yeah, it's sort of... Is it like kitsch, like a novelty? You know what I mean?

I think it is, yeah. I don't own a single DVD. They're all gone. Nah, same way. The only one I do own is what we do in the shadows because, remember, but I was in that movie,

the Jermaine Clement Tiger White TV. They edited you out. And they edited me out. But I think they said at the time a bit much, she was a bit much. Yeah, like, you're an extra babe. I'm still adding lines. Stop and stop eyeballing the camera.

Yeah. Even though it was Docco style and we would have got away with it, it was a bit much. But I was in the deleted scenes on the DVD. Oh, right. Are they on YouTube? They're on YouTube.

Magafas. Magafas. You can't call. Can't call the things. Maga-Fus. I just saw MAGA and I was like, Ugh, make it bear a great again. He's a 19-year-old Sydney creator.

His name's Anthony, and he charges just 20 bucks. 20 Australian dollars, right? That is enough to cover coffee and food. You give him 20 bucks. This is for the ladies. And what he'll do is he'll message your boyfriend online and see if he'll bite on a discreet same-sex hooker.

Wow. I mean, this has been a famous service. This has been around a long time where girls will do this and slide into a boyfriend's DMs. Yeah, to see if he'll cheat, right? But this is to see if your boyfriend gay. So if you were

like, I suspect that not only as my boyfriend may be, I's a wondering, but eyes may be wondering to the opposite gender. So what he does, this was like a free TikTok tip video that he made. He's a creator. On closeted partner red flags. That that went viral. Go on. What are they?

Crop tops. He said, I'll find that information, but I'm on this now. He said he's done 12 tests so far, or 20 bucks, right? So that's 240 buck, man. He needs to charge more. How long does this... How long does this take? Well...

It's time consuming. Not long. It's a DM. Yeah, true. Hey. How are you going? Is this guy good looking? Because that would help.

He is good looking. He is good looking. Yeah. I was going to say, because it wouldn't work if you're a minger. So, no. No, no, no. You've got to be, if you are curious to try men for the first time, you've got to try a cutie first.

So, um... Is that the rule? You've got to start with a cute. Otherwise, it would just really throw you. Right, you're saying if you start with a minger, you're not going to be like men, but you've just kind of like gone for a bad one. Yeah, yeah, it's like trying, I don't know, Thai food for the first time and going to the worst Thai restaurant in town.

Okay. You're going to try the sate at the best. I don't think I've ever had a bad pant tie. Shit actually. Because it's boring. This is a good point, isn't it? No one's hit me with a bad sartist. No, exactly.

You know what I mean? So it was a thing. He was flooded with requests people being like, I'm so suspicious of my boy. boyfriend. He's done 12 tests. $240 his mate. Do you think this is because of heated rivalry? Like girlfriends watching it with their boyfriends and the boyfriends are really into it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Should we watch another one? Yeah, yeah.

Oh, rewind then, I missed that bit. Yeah, she's like, oh, maybe we should go to bed, we've got two Ets left. He's like, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, keep watching. You go to bed, I'm just going to... Stamber, I want it, get you to-morrow. I'm just going to get these, um, the, the closeted red flag. Yeah, I'd love to know. Red flags to look out for.

I'd love to know if I'm ticking any of these. Uh, standby. I reckon you'll tick a few. Okay. So, of the 12 that he's done, 240 just for IOD purposes, four have responded positively. Yeah. What?

Four boyfriends turned out either gay, gay curious or willing to meet up. Wait, I'm sorry, turned out gay. Yeah, the rest said that they were straight or didn't respond at all, just like, oh, no thanks, dude. Yeah, right. And he then, for the $20 fee he receives, forwards the screenshots to the girlfriends without commentary. It's just like, here you go.

Take the, take the, thanks for the coffee. Processes as you would. Yeah. Okay, here you go. He said the biggest red flag is over the top aggressive homophobia. Yeah. Oh no.

But you know, anti, anti, anti, because they're just fighting, fighting what's inside. But then some little cutie comes along and pops the core. I mean, you see this all the time in American politics with all these outspoken homophobic figures. Conservatives and religious people. Yeah. And then they're busted on Grindrinder,

hooking up with dudes. Totally, yeah. You're just like, well, of course. Yeah. He said projected homophobia, the loudest ones. Because if you're not gay, you know what I mean?

You just like, I don't care if you are. I'm not. Whereas if you're coming out and being like, this is the problem. I'm the straightest you've ever seen. You're so gay. So he said he's not scaling up on this. He was like, you know, I'm not actually going to go

to the step where I meet them because that's putting him in danger. Unless they're really hot. Unless they're hot in your life, absolutely. Have a lot. He has received a bit of harassment for. And then send those screenshots to the girlfriend that's paid you 20 bucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great, I can see why you're with them.

Yeah. Right. Three gay, the closeted red flags, extreme aggressive homophobia, phone secrecy and sudden shifts in privacy. So those last two would be. That's just anybody. That's just anybody. Yeah, yeah. I can't believe he's found that.

But, I mean, I guess they were concerned about it. Or they thought that that might be the case. Yeah, or you've seen a little history. You know, a little video history. I mean, we've all had a curious look around. But then that might make your relationship even hotter. Joe! If a seemingly straight man said to me, I'm having these feelings, I'll be like,

marry me. Jeez, throwing that around a few times this morning. Don't just look. Just get involved. I thought love was dead. It was dead six months ago, and now you want to hook up with a dude that wants to hook up with dudes. And marry him. On anyone.

We're just having five. 226. Get out there and live. Little Poe is so silly, silly, silly that is silly. Silly little pole, do you think you're a great cook? So Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, emphasis on the Peltz, because he's still fighting with his family. Brooklyn Beckham, like, shares cooking videos all the time.

Because you know David Beckham's a good cook. I'm going to make some steaks. I didn't know David Beckham was a good cook. He's a really good cook. He's got this, like, whole kitchen thing. Do you watch the doco? And he's got this outhouse with, like, a full kitchen. Yeah.

You know, everything. He loves meats and just cooking little things. Anyway, so Brooklyn shares his recipes all the time And he always gets roasted by chefs being like I'm going to make this meal I'm going to follow his instructions to make this meal And it's like that is nothing That's not authentic, it's awful

And he made this cloud pizza Like a protein pizza with like fluffed egg wine You know everyone was like yuck Bro I want muscles but not enough to make pizza that bad Like look at the base on this thing Look how bad that looks It's just yuck it looks like a meat daddy

What's that on top? Basil Tomato Pull back on the basil. It's a basil pizza. It's a terrible pizza. You don't have that much basil. Turn it to pesto and get a drizzle on.

It's very hard. Very hard to make a pizza look unappetitizing. But he's done it. He's done it. Everyone's like, why are you sharing this? It looks terrible. It looks like something like a kid would make and be like, ma'am, ma'am, look.

We're making pizzas. Well done, little Tracy. Yeah, sure, I'll put it in the oven. Yeah. I made at the weekend a granted at home version of the short rib they make on the beer. You know the beer? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I made the at-home version

because I didn't have veal bones to blanche to make my own veal bone broth. So, you know, I had to make do with some beef stock. This guy over here in a constant living crisis. Yeah, we're all getting bloody reduced to clear meat at the supermarket. I made oxo-cues. It was free home-kill short rib that I was like, what am I going to do with this? Nice. And they have it just a little bit because it's fine dining restaurant. I see why, Christ, it was so rich. I woke over the middle of the night.

I was like, I'm going to be sick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I love cooking. I spend way too much time every weekend in the kitchen cooking and then wonder why I don't get my other jobs done. I love it. I love it. I love the act of it, cooking with someone, feeding people.

It's therapeutic, isn't it? It is. This is today's question for silly little poll. How good are you at cooking? Are you terrible, average or great? Those are the three options. 6% of people said terrible. That's good.

33% of people said great. 61% said average. Okay. Did you answer? Did you answer? I put good. I put good. Yeah, I put good.

Yeah, I put good. No good, says Brighton. Bloody lucky I have my wife. I can smoke meat, but that's it. Smoke meat. That's fine, though, if you can do that. You do that. You do that.

I can follow a recipe and can remember some and do them from memory, but when it comes to vibes-based cooking, those people who just taste and know what's missing, not a chance. I end up with some ghastly concoction. Hannah said, I'm more of a baker than a cook.

Cooking is easy than baking. a science. You've got to be so precise. We're going to talk soon about baking. I've got a pitch to make after a knee-jerk a purchase yesterday. More on that later. Stay tuned. Don't leave. I'm a two-minute noodles Michelin-star chef, says Carl.

Gemma, forced to watch my mum when I was 12 and write notes. Absolutely hated it, but now I'm thankful because I can cook. Yeah, that's good. Pepper and salt are overpowering spices for my palate, says Lucy. I don't really like lots of foods, so never learn how to cook for anyone but myself. Wow. Nightmare. Salt and pepper are too much.

Okay, we've got a chicken nuggy girl on our hands. That's all right. You do your boo. Samantha, because I love mixing flavors and experimenting, I'm very happy in the kitchen. I love making people happy and to be real. Love the praise I get when I make a good meal. Yeah, same. It's good praise. And if I work on something as well and really make it for you and take time and you don't immediately give me great praise and keep it coming. It'll never happen again. It's great.

Why do I bother? Logan says I cook well enough to keep myself alive. It's always a treat when I make something really tasty. And I'm like, well done me. I cook to survive, says Kara. If I win Lotto, I'll be hiring a full-time chef. Oh, I didn't even think about that. Because then you could be like, listen up, chef.

I need to get shreds. Yes, yeah, yeah. Make it delish. Make it delish and shred. Well, Wednesday, if you do win Lotto, you'll have 20 million to spend on a personal chef. We're back. I won't have 20 million because I'll be giving some of it to my dear friends, Fletch and Vaugh. Yeah, we're back.

The syndicate's back. Are we back? Is the syndicate back? Sondicate's own. Getting the syndicate back? I put, I'm a great chef, but the reason I'm great is because no one is in their house cooks. So there's nothing else to compare it to. Yeah, great.

Well, for Sillet-l poll, we asked how good are you at cooking and 61% of you said average. The ZDM Podcast Network. ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. This is some fashion news. We need to stop this in its tracks. Chanel. Chanel, one of the most respected fashion houses of all time. released in their 2027 resort collection,

the barefoot sandal, and it was immediately worn on the red carpet by the wonderful Margaret Qualey, who I love. Oh yeah. She's in some movie with Jacob Allardy at the moment called The Dog Stars or something. Yeah, post-apocalyptic stuff. And he can fly a plane.

Oh, yeah. And they go looking for something. Helpful. That you can fly a plane in the apocalypse as long as you've got gas. Well, the three of us would be screwed. Fletch, I'd be putting that on you, Mr. Plain enthusiast.

No, I don't know how to fly a plane. You've been figuring out if you're really enthusiastic about them. I'm so full of white male arrogance, so I'll give it a go. Well, I did that show, Dan Bauman's show, where I had to do a flight simulator land a plane. How'd you go? I landed it in the Wellington airport as in the wheels touched down. And as I turned around to celebrate that I had done this, the plane burst into flames. I'm sorry.

You don't want that. It was a rough going. So don't look at me when the apocalypse comes. He's on food and bunker. I'm on laughs and vibes. And obviously, probably procreation. and I'm sorry, but if we're, you know, if it's up to us three, you're both going to have to do it.

So they're not all siblings. I'm going to crash the plane before she makes us. Open the shoot, kick around. And that's how humanity ended. Because no one wanted to shag Haley. We refused. So anyway, so Margaret Qualey, amazing actress, she did the red carpet for this movie.

That's why we're talking about this. And she was seen in this beautiful Chanel dress and on her feet, everyone was like, duh, is that? Oh, it was ghastly. So imagine a barefoot, which I just would have preferred. Everyone would be like, how behemian. Well, it's a resort collection.

You're at the resort. You're at the rich Shepoole. Yes. With Magandah, couldn't find them in my barefoot. It's called the Naked Shoe. So it's a barefoot, toes, ball, arch, all completely bare. And then imagine the back of a sandal, like just a leather cap on the sandal with a small bit. That's all it is tied to the foot.

like the just Fletch just to remind you because they're just going to be sick You know that's disgusting It just makes no sense It's like a pirate's eye patch But just for your heel Okay someone said

Okay here's some reviews online Fugly and Impractical Yeah Um O O that's a great little Too much This is stupid as hell

If it's half a shoe It should cost half as much Now Georgia just walked in She loves a half shoe She loves a half shoe Actually, Georgia. Georgia wears a whole shoe, but it just doesn't. She's wearing her Adidas, some bars today.

No, but sometimes she wears like a boot that should be a boot, but it's a half shoe. But the boot doesn't have a back, it's a backless boot. It's called a mule. It's not a mule. Now, have you seen this called Mule? Hi, Georgia. Because you look like an ass. Well done on the Alex Warren interview.

Hey, thank you. I have a little review to give you. You weren't even there. No, but I didn't need to be to see something abominable. Anyway. Oh, I know it was. Let's just say some respect. What do you think of these Chanel

Cat heel? The fact that she's immediately got Ming feet now like as she's walking, like she's already got dirty feet. Do you know what they mean? So I nip into the supermarket in summer and you go in barefoot and you come out and you're like, ugh.

Yeah, all sorts of, wrappers stuck to the bottom of your feet, you know? Yeah. Now here's the punch line. How much are they worth in New Zealand dollars? Well, they're Chanel, right? What are they made of? Leather.

Leather cap. the little, so it's a leather cap on the heel with two bits of leather string. I'm going to say something stupid like $1,200. $8.95. 4 grand. No, they're not. Don't swear we're on the radio.

4 grand off. But you look ridiculous. Literally no one's buying those. Fugly and impractical is my favorite review of their shoes. For 4 grand. That's insane. You're not even getting... Just go to like the Salvation Army, if you're into this.

Buy, get a pair of summer sandals. Cut. of it off except for the hill. Tie that on with a shoelace. That's, what is that, like $10? Not for me? No. Not for me.

No, we'll pass on that one. I haven't seen, pass on that. I haven't seen anyone online. Like them. Say yes, please. No, I can't imagine. Immediately. Here's a little bit like rage bait.

You know how Balenciaga does rage bait when they're like, here's a trash bag? Guys, you know who's going to be going for them? The ones that are grounding. Yes, yes. The ground is, we'll go for them. Yeah, that's what I thought. Your whimsical.

Yeah. Well, you're most filthy hippies. have four grand. I'm not. I'd be amazed. The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Flesh, Foran and Haley. So this is a stat that

blew my mind. Nearly four in ten Kiwi new car buyers never test drive their car. So you mean new car as in the cars are brand new? The cars are brand new.

So they just trust this car's going to be for me because it's new and I've had one before. Like as someone that doesn't own a car and I rent a lot of cars or I borrow cars or whatever. Yeah. You're always in different cars and some cars you're like,

oh, I don't like this. I don't like how this is. A feel. You click on the car. And so that just blew my mind. I've never had, I've never bought a new car. Oh, I bought that old Mazda off of packs

and we went for a little drive. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I tested this out. And if you'd done your... Not enough of a drive though. That was a bit of a pickle one. Yeah.

And if you'd had someone look over that car, they would have said there's no spare tire in you. It was a pickle. It literally was a pickle. It literally was a little. one of the most dad cars and in my relationship with Pax has never been the same. But no, and now I'm the Maz Basterder. I just get given cars for a while.

So they researched just over 2,000 Kiwis in this. This is a trade me cars consumer insights report. 38% of new car buyers purchased without testing the vehicle. I guess they're just in the dealership. So yeah, like you say, they trust it. Yeah, yeah, totally. I mean, if it's a trusted brand, you're like, how bad can it be? But so if there's that many people with new cars,

I wonder if it's like this for secondhand. And this is what I want to ask this morning, 0,800 dials at em and text through 9-696. Did you buy a lemon of a car? Because you didn't... Sometimes you just hear of, like, the most screwed up things, because people put a little bit of, like, lip gloss on a car, and then they palm it off, and they like, see you, trade me?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's the thing. If you are going to spend all this money, you've got to get someone to go over it. But then, if you're buying a car that's only worth a few grand, Do you want to pay like $5,600 for someone to be like, No. No.

Nah. No, you're just like, I sort of know what I'm getting. Okay, well, 0,800 at M, 9-6-9-6. Have you bought a lemon of a car? You didn't test drive? Yeah. Or you didn't notice something when you were buying it? I mean, my first car was $500.

So I got what I paid for. Yeah. But it had the shudder of death, which would be you'd be driving along. And if you felt it under your feet go, you had to pull over because it was about to break down. It was about to stop. It was like, that was your warning. It was never gas or oil or anything.

It was just like, it got like a little like post-pee, like... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, quickly get over. And that's the thing. Sometimes if it's just 500 bucks, you're not test driving it. Or it's a friend's car and so you trust them. How many people do you know that bought a car of a friend? Yeah.

And it broke down. And then you're like, this is shit. Oh, you don't buy a car of a friend. No. Never buy a car or a friend. No, don't do that. Okay, 0800,000M, text through 966. Did you have a lemon of a car?

Right now, though, when did you buy a lemon of a car? Because nearly four in ten Kiwis are not test driving. A brand new car. And you can understand it's brand new, so that's fine. I don't know, but if it was a brand new car, meaning it's more expensive, tens of thousands of dollars sometimes. You want to sit in it at least and feel it's right. But so people are doing this as well for second-hand cars.

A lot of you were texting in and calling in with some horror stories. The most New Zealand thing ever to fly. She'll be right at the other end of the country and buy something sight unseen. John, you did this. Yeah, a little bit. Me and my mate did it. Yeah, it was an epic road trip. Okay, so, tell us. What did you buy?

It was a Nissan Safari. So, jacked up on big tires, big lift, big engine, that kind of thing. Yeah, okay. And so you had to fly to Auckland to pick this car up. From where? Yep. I don't know. Something near the beach. No, no, sorry. Where did you fly up from? We're based in Timmeroo.

Oh, brilliant. Wow. So tell us what happened when you got here. So we flew up, we checked out the car, took it for a spin around Auckland. It ran pretty well. You know, a few russ patches had been fixed up, but we thought, oh, yeah, we'll give us a shot.

We were young. So we said yes, and handed over $14,000 and a road trip to home. We made it out of Auckland and the clutch went on us. We lost the safe cylinder. So every time you did it change gears, you're just taking a breath and smashing it. Yeah, pretty much. We did what we could. We saved the clutch fluid that we had for downshifting.

We're just like bang-shifted up through the gears for the six-hour road trip to Wellington. That's a bit of a laugh, really. It's literally just where you just don't clutch it. You just jam the... Do you just ram it in and then the car just has to figure it out? So you get to Wellington... It's fine. Did you get on the ferry or did you have to fix it in Wellington?

No, so we got the news slave to... We got a sweet-talk of garage to do a cash job on the side, literally, right then in front of us. To then meet the one o'clock ferry we'd be able to push back. Are you messaging this guy you bought this lemon off being like, yo? Yeah, but yeah, it goes nobody. He's blocked us already, so. Oh, thank you.

14K! So, okay, we're only at Wellington. We're not even on the ferry yet. What's the second after the trip got? So, classically, if you ever ride the ferry, it gets delayed. So it got delayed. Pushed us into the night by the time he sort of left picked in. And then we started to lose one.

headlight and then the other headlight. Oh no. It's an edro of line. Oh my God, that's brilliant. So, I don't know if you've tried it, but driving on the highway using only a hazards is a bit intimidating. Hazards? Oh, you shouldn't.

John, you shouldn't be doing that. They were young. They were young. They were young. They were young. They were young. We looked back. Wait, so hang on.

And then you get this thing home. I mean, you lived, hello. And then what? Well, then we had booked in for some modifications. We wanted to, you know, new tires, new liver. that sort of thing, take it to the shop. They look over and they're like, sorry, your chassis is full of rust.

The vehicle's a done. It's a dust. It's completely right off. But, I mean, $14,000. But at least you've got a good story, but it's not a $14,000 story, is it? That's a $3,000 story. That's a $3,000.

Great three grand yarn. Yeah, just, I know. Yeah, it would have been far better. Completely non-spon, but non-members of the AA can pay $229 for someone to look over that car before you buy it. Yeah, Jono. When you're buying a Nissan Safari off a West Aucklander who's definitely thrashed up

and down Moodleway and not wash the salt off The AA's never going to give that the tick of approval Even if it's in good nick apart from a couple of things John and the lads just wanted to thrash up You would have saved $13,800 I'm just saying Yeah Ah Johno what a yarn, thank you so much We'll get to more of your calls and texts next

There are some cautionary tales here Yeah We've got a few of them When did you buy a lemon of a car Maybe you didn't test drive, you didn't get it checked. Haley, what happened? Good morning. Good morning.

It was my now husband. We were 18 at the time and we needed a car and he ended up buying this cool as car. It was a Mitsubishi Domante. It was a flat one. It had a spoiler. Okay. We were quite excited about it. Yeah.

And then four months into driving this cool, car. Yeah, cool. The repo company turned up at his work and decided to take it because the previous owners took it, didn't pay. That's right, because what do you do when you buy a car you meant to check? Yeah, it doesn't. You can do it on car jam.

It'll say there's any out. Or lemon check or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If it's owed money or finance. Oh, my God, that's such. Over 20 years have internet on our phone. Oh, right. It was on time.

at all. Wow. Yeah. Okay. What's the other lemon? Oh, the other lemon. Well, this was a couple of years later when I thought that we might have learned our lesson.

He just needed a car, so he purchased one off Trade Me and it was in Hamilton. Yep. Which we probably should have known right then and there. It probably wasn't a good car. Excuse you. Booze. Excuse you. Shots fired.

Where are you calling from? were you living at the time? Oh, no comment. Someone who screwed down. Parmy. Yeah, all right. You watch yourself, Palmerston. And so you caught a bus all the way up to Hamilton.

Got the Sabari Legacy. Close. Of course. And a week later. Of course, Subaru's. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, a week later, the clutch lit out. Is he in charge of buying the cars now?

I bet. Oh, he's done better now after 20 years. I bet he absolutely frashed the living shit out of that Subara on the drive from Hamilton to Parme. He took the desert road. He opened her up on the desert road, I bet. So good. Haley, thank you. Jess, when did you buy a lemon?

What happened? Sorry, was that Jess? Yes, Jess. Go ahead, Jess. Yeah, so it was my first car. It was a Honda stick hatch, and it went alright to begin with, but then the temperature would always crank right up to hot, and so I had to always drive just on full, no matter what the weather,

and so that's off and windows down, and carry like a two-liter milk bottle of water in the car, because at the traffic lights, it was like rush and really, am I going to hit the red? and then often it would so I have to pull over after the lights pop the bonnet top up the water and then carry on on my trip

Oh gosh The only thing cooling it was the air Was the air flowing through the engine when you were going? Yeah, yeah pretty much Beat you bloody loved it downhill, chuck it in a neutral and just coasted Oh look at the temperature's needle going down Yeah

But then to make it worse I was driving along one day and I could hear this tink, tink, tink. And I thought, should I better pull over? What is that? So I pulled over. But when I pulled over, I was kind of half over the driveway. So I reversed.

And I heard this, like, raunching noise. So what was that noise again? I just didn't get there. The noise. What was the noise? Oh, it was like a quack. Like a real, warching noise. Oh, no.

I love when cars make that noise. Yeah, like metal on concrete. And I got out. and it was the exhaust pipe and it'd come off, and I'd reversed over it. Oh, geez. Tink, was it bouncing along the road as you were driving? Yep.

That's good stuff. Oh, my God. We love a civic, though? Okay, and if we learn our lesson after this, Gess, do we get our cars checked before we buy one? Do we test drive? I'm getting definitely a test drive. I'm getting better at the checks.

This was the 90s, you know. I was going to say, this had big 90s. I drove around a start for years with a couple of milk bottles with water in and under the front seat. Yeah, yeah. It was just what we did at the time. My Honda prelude, we had to have a, yeah, 4-liter water canister in the boot just in case. Yeah. Just what you did.

It's just what you did. It's just, we'll never know, eh? Never know that we used to have to really work for our cars. Sometimes we leave our headlights on and there wouldn't be a little thing that dinged us to tell us that our headlights. No. I tried being a smoker with windows that didn't go down. That was awful. We used to drive over the centre line.

It wouldn't pull you back in. No. I know. I know. If you fell asleep, it was like, good night. And if you didn't manually turn off your indicator, you were the dickhead driver for ages with your indicator on. Some message is in.

There's so many of them. Someone said, you have freaked me right out. Last week, I flew up to Hamilton and spent $33,000 on a Ford Ranger site unseen. So far, so good, but I'll let you know if it goes bad. I mean, I guess it would be newish if it's that price, right? So you're probably fine. But, God, why don't people get checks? Bought a Ford Focus in 2021 for 20 grand.

$20,000. Four weeks owning it, I needed a new petrol tank. Twelve weeks, I was going back to Ford dealership, and after 12 weeks it needed a whole new transmission. Oh, wow. Lemon. Someone said, don't buy anything from Northland. This is scathed.

I've been scarred before. It's a real regional shots fired here. There has been. Some real, some real regional shots fired. Yeah. Purchased the car from Auckland. I made my judgment entirely. on how trust whether the person looked on their

Facebook profile. Yeah. Got home a couple of weeks later needed to replace the radiator. I still think that was just a coincidence. I still have the car though and is all good. Okay. Okay. Yeah. My parents got me my aunties farm car as my first car. Spent

thousands getting at road driveable. We took the word word that it was all good. Farm car. Yeah. Farm car would have been like a Suzuki or something. Yeah. God. Someone said they bought a a car and it blew up.

Do you want to give us any more information about that? They said, oh, it turned out it was a manufacturing fault. Jeepers. Right. Somebody said I actually avoided this by taking it to the local mechanic and just saying, can you give this a look over? Yeah, and they'll be honest. They plugged in their little diagnostic machine. Yeah.

And it turned out the car yard selling it had just also plugged in a diagnostic machine and been like, clear lights. Wow. Clear lights. You can just clear the dashboard. I've never played with one of those diagnostic machines. I've seen them at the... Wow.

I love this. That someone bought a car off of Facebook marketplace. They got off to the house and they said, oh, do you want to have a look under the hood? And they were like, yeah, yeah, have a look under the hood. Just stood there like that. They're like, I don't know what I'm looking at. So technically did give it a bit of a look over.

And I just acted like, I knew. And we said, yeah, that looks pretty good. It was like, oh, well. Engines there. Yeah, I see an engine and something else. What is this where the 710 goes? Yeah, yeah. Oh, mate, that's oil.

You're just reading the cap upside now. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's, Flesh, Horn, Now, yesterday I tried something for the first time And I Cannot believe I did this So my boyfriend Or which he's a real nerd

You've a hard launch this I've hard launched I have a boyfriend Yeah He's a name Lovers, lovers The name is Mike Love is alive

Love is alive Um She's talked about marriage twice on the show This is gonna really drop on some hints there might It's because um You know Brand Psychic brand came in and said

I'm gonna get engaged So Yeah. I've got to open my mind. It's all in the numbers. Thai whore, everyone. Yeah. Anyway, so my boyfriend is a nerd,

which was unexpected because he's hot. So it's sort of, I didn't really know that that was a thing. Case and point. But case and point. Do you know what I mean? It's going to be hot. Case and point. Yeah.

Case and point. I'm sort of surprised. I mean, it's subjective, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I didn't realize. Beauty is in the eye of the behold of it. Exactly. Yeah.

Mike soft launched his nerd onto me when I was already sort of hooked. and I feel like I got played a bit. You know what I mean? Do you get catfished? Yeah, yeah, I was like, cool guy. And then... It starts creeping in? Little bit.

I think he was pretty up front with it. I think someone's just trying to retain a little bit of like cool. I don't think I realized. It was pretty up front with it. He was. He was literally his nickname was Batman. Because he showed his collection of Batman.

Suits. And that wasn't a red flag. No. Interesting. Anyway, so he's a nerd and he likes to do nerd things. And he had some family up for the the weekend and we were, you know, hanging around. I was like, what do we do on

the weekend? And we went to one of those like thrill places that has escape rooms and sim racing and all this kind of stuff. Christ, who are you? Hangover free. Hang over free. No, we didn't do an escape room. We've done one of those. You've previously done an escape room.

I should have sent you a photo? We were pirates. You think you know someone. You think you know someone, eh? I mean, you did do the TV show. Celebrity escape. This is my first time. No, no, no, we went to a place on the North Shore called Thrill Zone, and we did an Omni VR, which, I've seen a video of this before. You go on like a pad.

Oh, I wanted to try this. It's like a dish like this. And you put on the gayest little shoes. Like, they're the same. They made me want to like, dude, the gays don't want anything to do with these shoes. They made me want to tap dance, the shoes. You put on shoes, like when you're bowling and suddenly your outfit's not working anymore. So you put on these, like,

little shoes and then you're in this disc and they belt you around the waist. Yeah. And you're in this thing where you can like spin 360 like this. You can move and the shoes skid. You like lean forward and you skit and then they lower down who am I. They lower down a VR headset. And you are in this world and you run in this thing with like by leaning forward. What did you do in the world? Do you shoot things? Is it like? Yes. We do. We do. We do. We shoot things? Is it like

Yeah, so we did, you do one, you do three games. One was like a warm-up one to learn how to run. I can't even remember what that was. And then we did zombies. Cool. It was cool, but for some reason I kept, like, the boys had guns and and I kept having a stick with nails on it. So I had to get real close to the zombies.

Oh, you got the dud whip. Yeah, I kept getting the dud weapon. I think they could tell. So we did zombies, and then we did pirates. We had to beat Captain Longbeard or whatever it was, Blackbeard or something like that. So I'm like running on this thing. Zombies and Pirates, by the way, are like two of the

hold-ups for the nerd world. Yeah. You're fully... Here I am. You've gone deep end. Yeah, and you've got microphones and stuff and I kept saying, like I was really into it. I remember when Haley used to come out for cocktail parties.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she's changed. She's changed. I'm running on an Omni pad on the North Shore on a Sunday. Yeah. And then I kept... stuffing it up and the woman who was working there, bless this, Sophia was her name,

had to keep sort of being like, I'm going to get you to, hey, I'm going to get you to not touch that, I'm going to get you to do this. What you're going to do is you're going to stop doing what you're doing? Oh, she was gentle, parenting you. Oh, I'm getting gentle and parented by, I'm guessing someone younger than you. Because I kept looking around, and so I decalibrated where the head was. I was running into walls.

And I kept saying, like, and then I could see the boys running off and I was like, I'm running into, I'm stuck on a wall. They kept stopping the game. At one point I had to swap machines because I screwed it. Like I was quite embarrassingly bad at it. And at the end, they give you a photo. Yeah. That they, oh, I have to find it.

They give you a photo where you are on a tightrope or you're on a, you're like running away from a dinosaur or something. And the only thing you can see is how, like, wet with sweat I got running on this. Running on the Omni what? Omni VR. Omni VR. So you're a mess. Just a quick look, Omni VR were on Shark Tank, were they?

And everyone turned them down. And the little discs, yeah. And then later on, apparently Mark Cuban reached out and gave them some money and that got them started. Yeah, wow. I mean, I highly recommend. Okay, you're a hot mess in the real world and the VR world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Literally, you know how like I'm being called a tornado or like a living, walking nightmare or a bit much?

Yeah. Also in VR. Also in space and on a pirate ship and in a zombie apocalypse. And with dinosaurs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not working. Play Z-D-Ms, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. How does this sound?

Use adult money to accomplish childhood dreams. Yeah. That is the new trend that are, particularly the girlies, but anyone can do this. It's a travel trend. So, you know, like people travel for like a wine mix. This is travelling for the sole purpose of doing something nostalgic. For example, going to Hillary Duff. because she's been touring around.

Apparently the concert looks amazing. We have tickets. We believe. Our friend group is terrible at getting drunk and making tickets. Big group decisions. And then I don't know who's got the tickets. It's not us. If I'm even going.

It's in my calendar. Maybe I'm going to Hilaryana. No, definitely. 9-6-96. If you're a member of the gaggle and you bought the tickets. I know three songs. But I will enjoy the night. I know.

or probably one song from Instagram. She better do all the songs, I know. Yeah, yeah, for sure. She will. She will. She'll have to. So this is what people are doing. They're going like, we're going to travel to see Hillary Duff

or people would be doing this of like no doubt or T-Pain or whatever. Making a whole trip out of it and even theming their outfits and their travel. Recently, I'll produce a Katie. She went to Vegas. Best Street Boys. Backstreet boys. By herself. Yeah.

And then you'd probably wear a cool Y2K outfit. And they were all dressed up as the backstreet boys. It was fun. Yeah. So fun. And we've talked about this a little bit as a group. We would love to go to the When We Were Young Festival, which is always in America. It's always in Vegas.

In Vegas. Yeah. And it's a like emo, like pop punk. It's like bands like Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy. Aval Out Boy. Avril Levine. Blink 182. All those kind of 2000s bands.

Yeah. So if we were to do this in a disco. nostalgia holiday tree and we would do that but our suitcase would be full of like black t-shirts and like we'd get a little like eyeliner going and some bandanas and stuff I think it's such a nice way of doing like a friend's trip like centering it

around it's usually centered around like an artist that you'd see from your from your childhood Hillary Duff that we do I'm like I hope we've got tickets because I've been reading so many of the reviews online about her concert and apparently is amazing and she takes the piss out of herself of that dance

yeah that she did And she's stacked. Do you? She's ripped. Yeah, she's ripped. She just signed it a couple of years ago. She's like, I'm so tired of trying to be skinny. I want to be strong.

Play Z-D-M. Fletch for him. Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Do do-dood-to-do-to-to-do-to-to-do do-to-do do do do do do. Do do do do do do. Fact of the day is more to you by

St. Piers. In my little chiller bag here, I have homemade ice cream because today's, this week's theme is ice cream. And this is homemade orange chocolate chip icing. Ice cream. My girlfriend, Amy, made this. Is this cream and condensed milk one? Correct. Don't say that. That's a

secret spiral recipe. That's a secret recipe. Oh, I love when people like, oh my good, it's a secret. Literally with ingredients from the supermarket. I'm sorry. Oh, you're family secret. My mum, it was in a a recipe in my brother's kindergarten, like, take home letter. and she's secret sprawl recipe

and every time I said that they're like cream and condensed milk and then the fruit and they're like that's how you do it put it in the kitchen aid and all whipped up the cream and then you fold in some other stuff and then so we got the zest off two oranges because I've got an orange tree my orange tree cranks but

but you're scabby because I don't like zesting my fruit because it's scabbed you've got scabby fruit I've got a nice clean sweet navel I think my orange tree is a sweet navel orange I zested two oranges I think so I absolutely can no no no no have mine please because my tree it's Overloader.

Do you want scabby? I want nice ones. You're not eating the scalp, but. This is why St. Pierre's came to me. Can we have an orange off? Should we, okay, tomorrow. I'm going to run. Orange.

Orange. This is a kind of radio. Blind orange. Blind orange off. Blind orange off. This is the kind of radio people are excited about. A blind orange off. Fletch tastes the orange and also sees the orange.

Should we, I think we should supply it in multi-form. Am I like he should have a wedge like he's just played a game of soccer? Correct. And I think he should have a small shot of juice. Yes. Oh, no, I think he should... Oh, were you saying we juice? Okay. No, I think just a wedge.

Okay, a wedge. A blind lemon off. Interesting. But it has to be, you have to be blind folded because mine is scathe. Then we juice the orange and we reduced that to syrup. Oh, slight. And then mix them in. I didn't grow the chocolate chips. Okay, and this is the theme for factor that I all wake is ice cream.

Okay, well, see, this is what we asked. It's a little bit soft. I did put in a chiller bag, but it's not. He literally doesn't have it in the freezer. Oh, my God. Why are you trying it first? You literally had it last. I didn't. I haven't tasted it. This is the first taste.

Why would you make ice cream last night and not try it? Because I had it frozen. Actually, I'd say the consistency is lovely. Oh my God. Lovely. I've never gone back. We'll get on with the fact of the day, please. You want to try some. Well, I'll try some while you get on with it. Listeners don't care about us eating ice cream. I thought we were shredding. Why'd you bring that and why'd you bring so much? You need a poop. You need a poop, so we've put some dairy in here.

I've done half a poop in seven days. Good Lord, that's amazing. Isn't that great ice cream? Can you pass it back around? I think we'll just do another cycle. I need to use your spoon fletch. Oh. Well, it's ice cream work here at Factor of the day, and I'm just tucking into some homemade obviously.

Watch out tip top. Watch out, here he comes. Watch yourself. What do you think? In New Zealand, New Zealand, this is today's fact. New Zealand needs more ice cream per capita than any other country on the planet. 28 litres per person per year.

What? I'm not eating that much. Who is? My friend Caller meets a lot of ice cream. I reckon him and Johnny would be packing up most of ale. think a tub is how much? Two liters? Two liters. A two-leater tub of ice cream. Yeah, two-liter tub. So how many of those? That's what? 14 of those each. Now my dad who owns a fair bit of ice cream. I reckon you just get through it more than you realize.

Do you reckon it's the oldies as well? Yeah. And if you're buying a tub or two of that a week, yeah. Of course that's, we easily get much. It's actually not that much. We eat more than the US who do 21 litres per person. God, and that's terrible. And Australia do 18. I would have eaten more ice cream. Hatter. Oh, that because of the hotter. Do you know, is it baked into us? Now we've got to have pudding. Put. The key we put, you know, the tub of ice cream.

It's always in the freezer. What do you think is the most well-selling, the highest selling ice cream in New Zealand? Pokey-Pokey. Flavour. Second. Neapolitor. It better not be vanilla.

It'll be chocolate. Ew, we suck. No, it's because the place that do the fresh fruit ice cream, they can only buy vanilla. You think about all the vanilla ice cream that's purchased to be flavoured post-purchase. Yeah, it's got the. It's adaptable.

You can do anything to it. And so Hokey Pokey was actually originated in Dunedin. Oh yeah. In New Zealand. When they originally started making Hoki Poki, the Toffee was in bigger chunks and tip-top switched to small honeycomb balls

around 1980. So actually, can't... Haley. Small honeycomb balls. You've got small honeycomb balls. So... Hokey Pocke is just what New Zealand call them. People around the world don't call it that.

They call it things like honeycomb toffee, cinder toffee or sponge candy. Oh, so we're the only ones that call it hokey pokey. Hokey pokey. And not to be confused with the dance. Yeah. Which is technically called the hokey-cokey-coki. But I grew up calling it the hokey-toki-toki too. Well, the hokey-toky.

In the South Island they just call it the hokey-pokey. You do the hokey-pokey and you turn around. That's different as well. You do the hoopy-pokes me. Which one is it? The dance is the hokey-foot in, you put your own. But in New Zealand, we call it the hokey-toki-toki or the hokey-cokey or the hokey-pokey. Koki and Toki are both too drug-heavy.

Toki is too insinuate it. But in the South Island they're just like be damned with it. It's the one named after the ice cream. Okay. Poki-Kroki. Today's fact of the day in the first four ice cream week and the orange chalkchack homemade ice cream and it has absolutely knocked about the pile. It's going to have very well with everybody,

is that New Zealand eats more ice cream than any other country in the world per capita. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. Do do do do do do to do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Fact of the day brought to you by St. Piers. Plays AZM's, Flesh, Forne and Haley. So when was your proposal? ruined because there is a couple.

This was the dream proposal that she had mentioned it and he'd organised it all at the bloody MET. The MET where the gala is, the MET museum. Yes. On the steps and he's taken her there and they're up at the front of the MET. Down he goes. It's all being filmed.

Beautiful. On a knee. And she does a classic handover mouth. Yep. Burst into tears. He says, will you marry me? And before she can even speak, a security guard starts barking at him

tells him to get up on his feet and tells him proposals are not allowed on the gallery like get it get out where you are get out of here you're not allowed to do that oh no millions of views now yeah abrupt interruption they're just like is it because it stopped would stop traffic and people would like yeah maybe

the flow of people through wouldn't it yeah yeah but it doesn't look in this video that there's many people around them like you just let it go right it's actually fine it's over it's over in a second I know, it literally takes no time, but he like barks. And literally, like, look at her jaw is on the floor. She's like, ah.

Dars. And they said they felt a bit like scrambled and everything and obviously just like kind of, you know, made way. And he does. He like leaps up and they kind of shuffle other way. She was like, no, it didn't ruin the moment. Great story to tell now. And great video too, which has been viewed a lot. Yeah, yeah, millions of times.

But apparently the Met came out and said that the security guy was actually out of order. They were like, no, we don't mind them as long as it doesn't, you know, there's no huge big film crew or anything like that. Yeah. Or like a giant flash mob or anything like that. Yeah. I mean, we just don't think we do those in general. Any more known. Flash mobs.

But anyway, the moment was ruined. She said yes, but they're fine. And they were like, oh, you know, it still kind of happened. I love these stories, though, of when the proposals don't go to plan. Well, we asked us on Instagram and someone messaged in that it was on the beach and someone yelled out, don't do it. Love instead, was it you? And it was me and I had a couple of wines on the viaduct. But a guy yelled out, don't do it as my husband was proposing on the beach.

God of it, it's kind of funny. It's very funny. Don't do it! Very Kiwi and very funny. Very key way. Okay, well these are the stories we want to hear from you. 0,800,000, and whether it was your engagement or someone you knows. Maybe you ruined it.

Maybe you stumbled into an engagement and went, oh, God, I've ruined it. A lot get ruined by finding the rings. Yeah. Because partners change their habits. and so people get suspicious and they think they're cheating. They happen to my friends at the Taj Mahal because you go through a big security thing with your bags and stuff and she was standing there

and the guy goes in and pulls out this box and was like, what's in here? And he was like, I guess, will you marry me? And the security guy was like, yes. Yeah, the security guy's saying yes, and they live a beautiful gay life. In India, yeah, yeah, lovely.

Beautiful. Okay, 9-6-96 to text us. 0800 at Emerson number. Some messages in. A guy interrupted us when we were proposing to ask for directions in very broken English And the worst part was my partner then completely ignored me, turned to him and gave him a wicked amount of directions Yeah, that's nice of him, that's a good man though Yeah, you're marrying a good man there?

Yeah, you're marrying a kind man. Can't concentrate anything. Can't focus. Stevie said I was in my dressing gown. That felt like it ruined it a little bit. Oh, yeah. Zania said him not doing it yet is really going to really be. ruin it when it does happen.

High winds canceled to planned hot air balloon ride. It was supposed to happen when we're up there. Oh. I mean... Yes, you could just do it on the basket on the ground. Yeah. With just sort of the balloon kind of just to the side. You know, you can't have the high winds. You probably couldn't even have your balloon flopped. No, because you'd

take off. You probably just go home, grab the washing basket and go and stand on the deck into it there. But like, get in the washing basket. I'm too big. Yeah, you are. Me having a panic attack ruined it. Too nervous? Yeah, maybe very nervous, nervous. Okay, keep your text coming in.

9-6-96-0-800-m. How was the proposal ruined? What, I interrupted, maybe ruined the proposal. Yeah. This morning, we're talking about this because somebody tried to propose on the Met Steps and got told not to. They said, you're allowed, but obviously not if it's causing problems in the security guard. It was just like, well, just doing my job.

Give me a break. We were walking our lab puppy and it interrupted a beach proposal. Luckily the guy said they've been talking about getting a lab So they saw it as their sign of good things to come Oh, cute My partner's mother had a falling out with him So to get back at him She showed me the engagement ring

He was going to propose with two days before he proposed Safe to say we don't speak to her anymore I still said yes and we are engaged What some mum's carry on like crazy eh It's so bizarre Insane So bizarre oh my God I would just be like

Do I even want to marry into this family I mean luckily he has the sense to be like Oh no no that's maniacal Yeah. I answered my husband's phone. He was driving. It was the jeweller. Even though a woman answered,

when they knew they were calling a man, they still said, you could just pass on and let him know that his rings ready to pick up. Oh, what are you doing? Surely if you work at a jewelers that sells diamond rings or whatever,

you'd be like, there's a bit of protocol around this. You know? Like code words. It's like when they send you adult fun toys, it's always wrapped up in some sort of distributions, you know? Yeah, yeah, brown.

Keep it private. Yeah, when you're doctor rings or something. You've got a minute for a word. I'm not going to sort of pass on the message that, yep, it is what she thinks it is. My husband was outside on one knee waiting for me to come out. I was taking care of his best mate that had a few too many beers

and was spewing. He was supposed to film the whole thing, but he was blacked out drunk by then apparently he just needed a couple of drinks to cool his nerves. He was nervous. Yeah. The videographer. Dude, you're just standing there with your phone.

It's not that hard. Oh, very funny, eh? I was the problem. planned a romantic weekend away in Sydney. I had an inclination he was going to. I called his bluff saying you won't and he ended up proposing in the hotel room. Whoopsie, my bed. Oh yeah. We can do that. I remember seeing a video. Are you just brushing over that? Yeah, we can do that.

We can do that as women. But you just love us anyway because you need us. There was a proposal I watched and it was a girl that were going up a hill and he kept trying to go down like, you know, on one knee like this and she was in kind of a badman and she turned around and got such a fright, fell into the bush backwards and farted. It's like one of my favorite videos Because she's like Full fart

Yeah A fall, a fart and attitude Yeah My partner drove to a place And said let's go for a walk I said I don't feel great And he kept trying And I wouldn't get out

And we had a big argument And he threw the ring at me 20 years later Still married You hear some of those stories They were it's a hike to somewhere nice Oh God, can't bother I'm hot

Yeah always bitching boating Yeah come on come on Just keep going It's nice up here My partner and I went Ring shopping together After he drunkenly proposed with no ring.

Oh yeah. And so I said, well, we need to sort this out. So we went in a shock one. And then he was about to propose again and his dog dropped its guts. One of those real stinky, dog-dying dog farts.

Yeah. That absolutely ruined the mood. My best friend's boyfriend proposed to her while we were in Fiji as we were drinking champagne and celebrating told her he wasn't going to do it because she was being a bit of a bitch. That ruined the proposal.

Made it very awkward for the rest of the crew. But we just need to shut our mouths as human bands. He planned a snow trip And he was going to propose on the snow trip But then he proceeded to injure himself snowboarding Oh, okay Yeah, so I spend some time in a medical building And he proposed once he got let out of there

But he was limping and stuff and it wasn't sexy Amazing My husband attempted to try and propose Out on the bridge on the way over To the giant sky swing down in Queenstown Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah You could walk out to it Yeah

Want to do it in the middle of the bridge He turned around and looked at me And I yelled, just keep bloody walking, keep walking, not panicking. Yeah, that's a scary walk out to that station. So then instead he had to propose while we were on the swing in the canyon.

Oh, yeah, okay. So they're swinging in the thing, and just like, and then he pulls it out of the pocket, and he was like, I told him to do it on the bridge. You're not supposed to put anything in your pockets when you go on that case it falls out. They're not responsible for that. It's down the bottom of the gully.

They're not going to get that. My husband proposed on the beach and his pants ripped. That's good. He got down. That's good. I heard the rip before I. heard will you marry me wasn't ruined we're still married after 10 years

that's a classic that's a great story yeah good yarn oh my god someone literally said they're the husband that was to propose the soon to be husband was going to propose to the soon to be wife his sister was going to take photos of the whole thing like sneaky take photos of everything we saw her when we were walking

Great news for Joseph. So far, I'm... I'm hooked. He is from a well-respected family. He is attractive. Yep. He has a... Man, if you're going to tell someone they're attractive,

And you're not allowed to sleep with people from work. He's not meeting anyone. No. He said he has struggled his whole life to find people to love. He does think that the work schedule in his height at 5 foot 6 are two things that work against him. Yeah. Or you can do something about one of those things. Yeah, leg extension.

Yeah, let's tell. Leg extensions. Ezer. So Joseph has actually employed a matchmaker, a high... end matchmaker. So he spends 25,000 US dollars for about 42K for a six-month membership

that guarantees him six states. That's insane. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's done this for three different contracts over a period of time, which is to the tune of over 100 grand with a professional matchmaker who's going in to be like, I'm going to find you someone who

doesn't mind that you're short and doesn't mind that you have this crazy schedule and likes these things. I mean, this all ready to send in like the perfect part that you never see them.

He's so busy. And he's cut 40 dates. He said, I've gone on 41st dates with using the slight match. I reckon, after that, you've got to kind of realize maybe you're the problem. Well, yeah, a little bit. He keeps giving you a fright. So, I want to know, though, we stand a short game. I want to know how long did it take you to find the one?

So you've found them. but it's like, man, you had to go through some duds first. It was tough. How bad was it, you know? Because you've got to, man, you've got to mash a few bananas before you get a cheesecake. As the saying goes, yeah. As the old adage goes. You've got to pedal your bike if you want the cheesecake.

That's the old saying. Maybe you've got a story. It took you a while. Maybe you'd given up and then someone just came into your life. That's right. Yeah, you were just going, date, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, you were about to be a lesbian. And then here he was, your night and shining up.

Holly, how long did it take you to find the one? Well, I found the one when I was 30, and I've been dating a lot. I came back from London back in 2016, I think, and then I started this new job, and it was kind of to kind of bond with everyone. I decided to start going on, like, all these dates and telling everyone.

How fun, I. Oh, so you had somebody to talk to people at work about. You'd go on dates and be like, another date for me last time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's cool. Absolutely. And like what we did is we started calling it the Holly Diaries. Great, right, great.

It's giving main character energy. It's giving rom-com, isn't it? And how were these dates with the lovely Kiwi lads? Mostly terrible. Haley has managed to do an entire comedy show touring the country about this. Sprow on the prowl. Weird, hey Holly. Like, what are you even up to and who taught you to exist in this manner?

Oh, I know. I don't know how people like live in the society. One of my agency, I came on Tinder flight near like a few years ago and talked to you guys about how I took one to Fiji like on a whim and it turned out like horrendous. You don't take someone you've just met on Tinder to Fiji and get stuck on an island with them. What was the worst do you reckon?

Probably that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've been on a couple of dates and my friend couldn't go to Fiji so he was like, oh, I was at Flight Center. I'll do it. I'll just pay her back. And I was like, okay, no one else could come. And then, honestly, it was just horrendous after horrendous. Like, it was just so much every single time I went on a date.

I decided, like, you know, I figured out what I liked and what I didn't like. Yes. But I wouldn't. Yes. I'm the person I am today. And the person that I found is all the, you know, has ticks all the boxes. Yeah, we love. So what I'm hearing there, Holly, is these terrible.

Marable New Zealand men's systematically lowered your expectations so that someone could swoop in with just the basics. Well done, men. The bare minimum. We'll touch what we can get. Yes. This one's perfect. Oh, yeah.

We love that. So it all worked out well. Holly, that's amazing. Thank you for sharing. Got to suck a few lemons. Yeah. Before you get a cheesecake. Exactly.

Thank you, Holly. Some messages. Somebody said, my dream man six weeks after leaving my husband who was right under my nose the whole time and been my daughter's sports coach for years. Oh, okay. Hello.

That'll get the... Sometimes it'll get the old gossip lips flap. Yeah, yeah. Oh, school mums love a gossip, don't they? No one gossips more than the school mums. Yeah. But I think it just takes new lenses, right? You go there and you're like, hello.

I want that cheesecake. That's the kind of cheesecake. I've been having a sweet sort of caramel and I'm more fruit-based. Yeah. Well, Ben said I had to rubble through some gravel to get my gold. I assume he's forgotten to put cheesecake into that. Had to dig through a bit of rubble to get his gold.

Yeah. Had to rubble through some gravel to find my cheesecake. There you go. I think that's what he meant. Correct saying there. Ten years. I had a daughter at 18 and had been trying to find the right one since. Nearly gave up.

I found my soulmate in an online video game of all places. Together for two years is moving to New Zealand to be together in person forever next year. Now we've just been hit with a when you name You name you know When you know you know When you know you know At 21 I met my soulmate Although we didn't get together until five years later

We were just always the same Kind of weird, spent over a decade together Then took two years apart Huh? Did it did 10 Yeah So 21 met at 21 Five years later got together

Did 10 years together Then took two years off Stayed close And we've just gotten back back together because still we are undoubtedly each other's perfect weirdo. It's an imperfect journey, but when you know you know you're cheesecake. When you know you've got a cheesecake, you get the cheesecake. When you know, you know your cheesecake.

Ten years I've been waiting. I had a daughter, did you read this? Ten years I've been waiting? Yes, yes, yes, yes. I had a daughter, daughter, yeah. I mean, I suppose it's hard, isn't it? Makes it harder. Someone said 64 years and still waiting.

Sorry. Words of encouragement. It's only just begun. I honestly reckon if you've been by yourself for 64 years, having a partner would be awful. Oh God, I couldn't imagine anything worse. My mum's asked, what did this flet want to be with someone? I'm like, no, don't reckon he does.

Oh, my people ask me this all the time. Isn't he lonely? I was like, not ever. No. There was someone in my house yesterday. I was like, we're going home. Yeah, bye. Really. What time are we talking? Like five o'clock.

In the afternoon. I know. Oh my God. Acceptable. Unacceptable. Get out by at least 11. Are you not aware of a sleep bedtime? It's five o'clock on a Sunday afternoon.

For us, feels like 9.30 on Sunday night. Oh, I know. What are they doing hanging on? I know. I must have wanted some more of that cheesecake. Play Z-Ems, Flesh, Foran and Haley. Now, um, I got jealous and I was in farmers yesterday. How every great story starts.

It was something I was trying to be happy. for Vaughan and I think I did a good job of it that's so cool that you got there and then I was in farmers yesterday and I was like okay so long-winded story Fletch you've long had a kitchen aid and we've roasted you a little bit because you don't use it he only ever makes it to use it to make cookies

now cookies don't need Excuse me I've made cakes You can literally have a beta or a Yeah yeah yeah and he's got this thing proudly displayed on his bench like he's bloody Alison Holst. And then every now and then he'll be like, I've got a kitchen aide.

I've got a kitchen aide. I've got a kitchen aid. And it does look great on the bench. It's actually a statement piece. It is a statement piece. It's a decorative dust collector in Fletcher's kitchen. For years you've had this too. You had some attachments for it once upon a time?

You've got attachments for it? You've had it the whole time I've known you. Yeah, I've had it a year. And they are a little bit more expensivey, but God, they're brave. It's not a paid endorsement. No. You're about to hear three adults who paid full price. Literal full price.

So because then last week, Vourney, you, I think, in a bid to, I'll say, impress your girlfriend. Procured your own kitchen aid. She recently learned Fletch had a kitchen aide and she brought it up time and time again. Why does he need a kitchen aid? Well, they've run out of those make biscuits. No, we don't know. She's like, her mom's got a kitchen aide and they're always making like these fancy cakes. and all these things

and something that needs to be stirred for however God knows how long and whipping a cream to a medium peak I didn't know cream could be whipped to a medium peak it can be apparently marangs these sorts of things Fletch makes biscuit Yeah and I know cakes as well thank you

There was mocking Yeah and then It was jealousy It was outright jealousy And his jealousy And then my daughter August found out That you have a kitchen aid And she was just like

What is even Amy's like he only makes biscuits And so those two were upset. Yeah. But Fletcher at a kitchen aide. And then it just went, you know, had the algorithm knows.

Well, I did send Vaughn the occasional video of me making cookies so that he could show. Every two years. So that he could show them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just like rub it in their face. So I got a butter yellow, which was the 2025

color of the year. Yeah, yeah. Because they come in different colors. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And then you got to live to work and you're like, yeah, man, you know. This is great. I've got a video of them unopening it. Yeah, yeah, lovely.

God, we've used. that he's who made ice cream. Yeah. I've made heaps of stuff on it. You've used it more than me in a whole weekend. Yeah, exactly. That was talked about over the weekend. I know.

We're now, I think it was around the fourth thing. We've now used it for a more variety of things. Fletch's cakes and biscuits. I'm just happy to be mocked, just for living life, you know. Just don't worry about it. On the weekend, I popped into farmers as I want to do. And I don't know to find myself in the appliance.

In the appliances. And there's the kitchen aid that's like green with a wooden bowl. Because when I ordered mine, that was the big thing. I said, I would have loved the dark green one with the wooden bowl, but it was a bit more expensive. And then I had what I was willing to spend. It's an elite product of the KitchenAid Lime. And Haley's like, I should get that.

It'd go great with my kitchen. Or my kitchen's got a wood bench top, wooden floors, and the green walls. And I not want to be out done. Got myself a KitchenAid, didn't I? So you literally kept up with the Joneses. I'm literally with the Joneses. The three of us now, three kitchen aids, I reckon, as we do with the Slushie members,

Shane. We could have absolutely just sort of joint custody this thing. They are so heavy. They are heavy. The slashing machine is also psychotically heavy. Who's got that at the moment? You? May, we actually used it on the weekend. It's well loved. Can I just say one thing that I have that Vaughn doesn't have? I've got the meat processor attachment.

I can make patties, I can make onions, I can make sausages. You can get a mincer. You can get a sausage maker. And it pushes the little cone thing you can put sausage skins on. I can make my own sausages. Sorry, does your butter yellow kitchener? It does not have the sausage. Wait, guys, stop this. Where's this going to end, Haley?

Where's this going to end? Because I don't want the pasta machete. I want any pasta. I don't like pasta that much. I've already added it to the cart. Wow. But there were asking us, I could do that one. What if we, again, non-spon, three adults spent full price on this.

What if we got a small stand in studio and together we unite our attachments? I'm not only making sausages every week. You can, you can, I'll let you borrow my meat processor sausage. Well, do you know, what I worked out yesterday, how much is the sausage attached? How much is the mints are attached? I think it was 200 for the full kit that does mints and everything. So chicken mints is $20 a cage. Oh, this was the riveting video that I received yesterday.

I know, I was like, isn't, the group cat's going, ding, ding, ding, ding. This wasn't even girl math. It was nothing exciting. It was like, did you know? Did you know? Chicken mince is $20 a KG. If you get chicken breast, I'm special, it's just over $10 a KG.

You're paying $10 a KG for someone to mince it. Do that 20 times. You've paid off the mincing attachment. The thing is, Vaughn, you don't have a mincer. Thing is, little Vaughn, you don't have a mincer. Don't have a mincer. Mama's got the mincer. I counted 79 all rights today.

Fletcher, but that's a new personal record. Oh, fuck off. How many of those did you count? 79 of those, too. All right. Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us a rate and review. Oh, fuck off. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
