The ZM Podcast Network. The Flesh, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Thanks to McCafe. Great things are brewing, one cup at a time. Good morning, welcome to the show, Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. It's two minutes past six. Hayley, joining us from her home studio. Yes, yep, home studio set up.

You never know. How was day one of the New Zealand Cakes from a Box show? Good, good, good. You've nearly got it. The Great Kiwi New Zealand Baking Off. Yeah, that's, you're so close. The Great Kiwi Trip to the Bakery show. That'd be a great show.

Oh, yeah, actually. Today could be a day for a mince and cheese pie, I reckon. Right. Are you allowed to tell us what went on yesterday, on the first day? Well, I can't tell you what they made, but I can tell you it was delicious. And I brought home four samples for Aaron, and I did a mini bake-off for him. What did he think? Well, he's just grateful.

He's just grateful to be in my company, one. Yeah, great to have you home. To start. And two, loved them all. I brought him the bottom two and the top two, and he was like, yum to all of them. He couldn't pack. He's going to be loving the next three weeks then.

He'll be fattening them up. Yeah, his pants won't love it, but boy will he. Coming up on the show, the top six. Yeah, Chippy, you might be familiar with. What was that? Is your laptop muted, Carl Fletcher? Hayley hasn't muted her laptop. Yes, I have.

I don't know what that was. It was the phone. It was her phone. His phone. It's not my phone. No, my phone's on silent. I'm hearing. Did you hear that? I just want to confirm I'm not going crazy. I think. It's not my phone. No, my phone's got... My phone's on silent. Now I'm hearing... Did you hear that?

I just want to confirm I'm not going crazy. I think it was Hayley yawning. Really? Yeah. What was it, Cowan? I was Siri on Fletcher's phone. Would you please tell your personal assistant now is not the time.

Now I've forgotten what I was talking about. She keeps turning on. You're always turning her on. Chippy. Stop touching her. Chippy, our Prime Minister, has said, guys, I might pop over to India. Might pop over to India.

Oh, lovely. Oh, beautiful place. Talk some free trade. Yeah. Now, apparently, the world's most populous country. It's overtaken China. He's that. And India.

Yeah. So I've got the top six things Chippy will have to pack if he's off to India. Because, you know, I don't know. Well, I can't speak if he's been there before. He might be the expert on India, but if he hasn't, I've got the top six things he simply must pack from another pasty white guy that's never been to India.

Silly little poll is coming up. Do you use dating apps while you're on work time? Yeah, I mean, I do all sorts on work time. I imagine if you were on the dating apps, you'd give them a look. If you were single and on the apps,

would you give them a look during work hours? Hell yeah! Of course you would, right? Well, how does the nation vote? We'll go through our silly little poll soon on the show,

but next... Ooh, we've got robo-vac news. Ooh! A big play has finally stepped into the automated robot vacuum cleaner market. Ooh. A big play has finally stepped into the automated robot vacuum cleaner market. Play.

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Big day for Dyson yesterday. Ooh, what have they done now? Big day for Dyson. Some announcements were made. Well, they, what did they only just announce that? How long's that new thing that we took? The hair straightener.

The hair straightener with. Not long. It hasn't been out long. Oh, no, it hasn't, aye. Busy in the lab? They're busy in theener. The hair straightener with. Not long. Hasn't been out long. Oh, no, it hasn't, eh? Busy in the lab. They're busy in the lab. Busy in the lab. I'm very excited.

I've just been reading. I mean, there's one thing I specifically want to talk about re the Dyson release, but they've also just said that they're releasing a wet head vacuum called the submarine. A what? A wet head vacuum. I know.

Who knows what that means? What? Okay. A wet head. Oh, it's like wet head vacuum. I know. Who knows what that means? What? Okay. Wet head. A wet head. Oh, it's like a mop vacuum. Oh, right. And it goes.

How do you do that on your carpets? You don't mop your carpets. Oh, yeah. No, you wouldn't. Just like a standard mop. I'd say you'd keep it away from the carpets. Right. That's the worst thing about when you're mopping is say there's like a little chili flake on

the floor of the kitchen or whatever. As there often is. Or a herb, a bit of flaky. Mopera. It doesn't go on the mop, though, does it? Mopera. Like, you've kind of got to mop and then do another wipe or vacuum. How good is the little corner pile of stuff when you're mopping and you're just like,

I'm just going to push everything into that corner, and then when the floor dries, I'll come back with the vacuum and hit that spot. I'll just poke it under the dishwasher or the fridge. Oh, yeah, leave it there for life. So this is like a vacuum that will vacuum. That's a good idea. So there's this, okay, I found an article specifically about this submarine. Non-spawn, by the way, Dyson.

Non-spawn. Non-spawn. I love how we're talking about this like it's the latest iPhone release or the latest Samsung. Yeah, we're older now. Yeah, man. We're getting hot on Vax. The latest home appliances.

It's supposed to deliver just the right amount of water to remove spills and stains as well as small, dry debris like food crumbs. It does so through eight water jets that release 18 mils of water every minute to a motor-driven microfiber roller. Ooh, okay. Why are you turning me on while I'm at work for once?

I know. I am also beginning to get aroused. See, I've only got how much floor do I need mopping? Like my tiny kitchen and my tiny bathroom? Yeah. The 300 mil water tank is apparently good for up to 110 square metres of flooring. A plate extracts the contaminated water from the wet roller, so then it pushes against the roller

and the dirty stuff runs across the top of that and dumps it into a separate, larger 360ml waste tank so no dirt or debris is transferred back onto your floor. An acoustic dust sensing feature includes an LCD screen showing the size and number of particles being sucked up. Wow.

I'd love to know what it would say about your chilli flake. It would be like one chilli flake. Yes. In the tank. Five grains of sand. It would even tell you. I hope she's got a voice. I just sucked up the chilli flake.

800,000 golden retriever hairs. Oh. And measures microscopic particles with a piezo sensor so the vacuum can automatically increase suction from the 125,000 RPM motor when needed. That sounds sexy. Are we allowed to do this horny content on national radio? Especially when people are driving along and listening to this.

Oh, I know. Pull over if we've got you all roused. If they've got you horny, prepare for this. Okay. That was the foreplay. Yep. Here's a bit more foreplay. And I just want to say, Vaughan, thank you for spending so much time on it.

You're welcome. If something's worth doing, it's worth doing right. And now I feel ready to hear what's next. No, well, I'm going to tease you by not giving you the full article. I got the big stick coming. Oh, well, actually, that kind of was the big stick, I guess. That's a terrible analogy. It's a wet vac and they're on a stick.

Yeah. They also released a new type of air purifier. Now, I would have left the word formaldehyde out of the title. Oh, yeah, right, and it sucks out all the bad air. It's a big and quiet version of their already existing air purifier. And it can deliver purified air over 10 metres, which is a new record for them. air and... It's a big and quiet version of their already existing air purifier. And it can deliver purified air over 10 metres, which is a new record for them.

And operates at 56 decibels, which is incredibly quiet. Yeah, right. And can purify more air than ever before, but it's called the Dyson Purifier Big and Quiet formaldehyde. Yeah, that's bad, isn't it?

Formaldehyde is a bad, bad rate. So the big news though... Hey, wait, don't rush me to the main. Why does he always do this? He's gone straight in. He is. Just wants to shove it straight in. We've already talked enough.

We're working through. We've done enough. We're working through. Okay, here you go. Here's the pleasure center. Hang on, now I'm ready. Now I'm ready. The Dyson 360 VizNav is Dyson's foray into the robot vacuum cleaner.

Now, you've got a robot vacuum cleaner. It's pretty good. It's not good. It's good. It'll pick a lot of stuff up. But every now and then, if there's some big stuff, you get out the old vac. You don't vacuum up a poo, but no. Nothing you vacuum up a poo.

No, but don't. Because you're a dog owner. Remember those people that had their robot vac and it roboed over a dog poo and then spread it around the whole house? Yeah, they were people that left their dogs inside when they went out, though, and that's a fool's errand. How much is a robot vacuum cleaner? Like, they range from like $300 to like $1,000, right?

All we got was like $600. Right. It was the one that maps our house for the Chinese government, but... Yeah, I mean, was only 600, you know And you can clip on a little mop attachment to it So it does the vac And then you like go again with the mop on it And it drags around this thing

And kind of does a half-ass job of mopping But better than nothing You know they're going to choose one house For a nuclear missile to lock onto You don't want it to be your house There would have been enough kill range if they hit me I'm too rural They'd want a real central Oh right, like a central city apartment Yeah, yeah, yeah lock on to. You don't want it to be your house. There wouldn't be enough kill range if they hit me. I'm too rural.

They'd want a real central. Oh, right. Like a central city apartment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you, for example. Okay, well, I'll get a non-Chinese one. Now, I'm on the Dyson Australia New Zealand Instagram page. I've got to say, I've given them a follow.

I've got to say, it's very purple. Yeah, it's classic Dyson. It's not sexy. It's not sexy. A lot of the robot vacuum cleaners are like black and sleek and they look nice. Because quite often you have to tuck them away in a corner of the house or under a table. Yeah, you hide your secret shame.

It hides under the cabinet in the bathroom. So you've got to make sure all the doors are open for it when it wants to do its clean. And it trundles out of the bathroom. Like it trundles out of your room like someone that you sleep with that you regret and you get up early and then your flatmates hear someone walking and they're like, everybody's here. And then it comes trundling down the hallway sort of thing. Yeah, right. Squeak, squeak, squeak.

Because they haven't CRC'd its wheel. Right. So triggering. So this one, they're saying it has 360 degree vision, which supposedly allows the robot to have a panoramic view of the home and accurately interprets its surroundings. A simultaneous localisation and mapping, what they're calling the SLAM system. We're back being erotic, by the way. This just sounds like the British government now have pictures of me nude in my house.

Yeah. So, I mean, it's either the Chinese government mapping your house or it's the British government mapping your genitals. Wow. You're naked and it does like three loops of you just to get a real clean scan. Yeah. It's got six-fold bump and suction. It's gone up to 110,000 RPM.

What's the price? Because Dyson's never cheap. Triple action, up to 110,000 RPM. What's the price? Because Dyson's never cheap. Triple action, brush bar, all the goods. Launch price, two and a half thousand Australian dollars. They haven't announced what it will be in New Zealand yet, but for the Australian one, that's one of them. That is stupid. Just get a maid. Like, for that amount of money.

Like, you could pay a cleaning, yeah, just one hour of cleaning. Yeah, you could pay a cleaning. Yeah, what's a, like, just one hour of cleaning. Yeah, but like you just said about the, getting your naked scans of your body. I've been naked in front of the help before and they're all like, let's just move, put it away. No, they're not. They're all like, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.

Yeah. Oh, my God. I'm like, get them up and at least the robot did both at the same time. Or you could just buy a $300 one and then if that, like, shits itself in six months, buy another one. Well, our one's lasted for years. Yeah, right.

Our one's been really good. I've been really impressed with it. Oh. And it's fun. $2,500. Ridiculous. And you can buy it on like AliExpress and stuff. You can buy like stickers for them to make them look like different things.

Oh, my God. Or like R2-D2 or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's pretty cute. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. If you've been following my home renovation,

which by the way, is just going flawlessly. I just want to update the nation. It's just going so well. Yeah, yeah. Really good, isn't it? Just reliable people. Just no one letting me down. Everyone being so reliable. I'm loving it. What you can just

pick up. A slight subtle? Sluttle tone? A subtle. Wow. Wow. I'm not mad. A subtle tone of sarcasm. Oh my gosh. A subtle tone

of sarcasm and just a hint of a mental breakdown, just a hint of a mental breakdown. Just a hint of bleeding money. Just a hint of a financial meltdown. Just a hint of a problem. Anyway, the fun part of the reno for me is choosing all the colours. And you know me, like our last house.

Bright. We had a little unit and it was bright orange in the lounge. We had peach hallway, bright green spare room, nipple pink bedroom as we like to call it. I love colour and it makes me so happy. And now with our new house, we're doing the same, as you know. Green, yeah, a lot of green and blue. A lot of greens and blues. We've got plums, we've got rusts.

We're loving it. I'm a millennial and there is a new trend called millennial grey and it's to do with houses and the fact that lots of millennials just have a grey house with a grey carpet and grey furniture. This is me.

This is me. This is you. I feel very targeted here. Yeah. The white walls thing is very popular now. Just white on white on white on white on white. But they're saying millennial grade. They think it's as a result that we've all been traumatized by our parents in the 80s and 90s. Brown.

Who loved a brown. Loved a brown. They loved like a deep red And browns and beiges Which are all the colours that are kind of coming back All the mustards and Yeah for sure You know the felt and Green kitchens

But like how do you describe that green That formica green Yes yeah Like a dull green Like a green Like a pukey green. Well, now they've given it a name because all the millennial influences, you'll see in their background, grey on grey on grey.

And they've given it the name millennial grey. Your last house was a lot of greys. Yeah, when we were painting the walls. Yeah, Sade was like, I want to do grey. And I at the time was like, ugh. But then when it was done walls, yeah, Sade was like, I want to do grey, and I at the time was like, ugh. But then when it was done, it looked nice,

and everyone was like, I like the grey. It's a bit warmer than white. This is the thing. It's like, it is so, like, it's not offensive at all.

It's very neutral. You can kind of put anything on it, and that's the thing, is we're trying to be less bold as millennials because we know that, so we look back at our 90s and 80s architecture and we're like, how embarrassing.

It doesn't age as much either, does it? Well, I mean, it was just... Yeah. Well, the grey and whites and blacks, it's... We'll see. We'll see. They probably thought in the 80s that brown wasn't going to age either.

I know. What people must think of my rainbow house. I mean, it's just going to be a lot of fun. It's your house. You do what you want. Exactly. And when we sold our last house, that was all orange and nipply, we said to the real estate agent, like, oh,

do we need to put a big coat of white around it? And he was like, no, no, no. Give it a point of difference. And definitely when they took those big real estate photos, was like looks pretty cool but it's not for everyone i think the people moved in straight away and got a spray gun and painted it white and gray white white and gray Silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole.

Silly little pole today, do you? Dear listener, use dating apps in work hours. If you don't have any need to use dating apps, like if you're not using them, then this one wasn't for you. Don't answer this question. Skip. We can't please everyone.

Forgo it. Don't just put no because you don't because you don't use dating apps full stop. Tinder released some research and said that while millennials would, I guess, shamefully swipe and use dating apps under the desk, Gen Z are just like, I don't care.

I'll swipe. I'll be on the dating app at work during work hours, probably while they work from home. Yeah, work from home. Go, Gen Z, go. Yeah, they don't care. On a job that's not real. They definitely found that, yeah, the 18 to 25-year-olds, yeah,

don't care and just use them at work. They're a lot more open than millennials. Pops, mute your computer. God, you're having a shocker with the tech today. God, I was like, what is happening? You just want to add

a tourism ad for who? No, it's an ad on this bloody website I'm on for this news story. What a busy one. 70% of people, no way they don't use them. This isn't a trap.

We're not going to trap you. That's a lie. This isn't like when someone calls you and asks about what illegal drugs you've taken. That's a trap. This isn't a trap. We're not going to trap you. That's a lie. This isn't like when someone calls you and asks about what illegal drugs you've taken. That's a trap. This isn't a trap. We're not trying to trap you and sell you out to your employer. 30% of people said yes, they do use the app while at work.

Dan says, at least I try to pretend I'm classy. And that's obviously maybe a no. A no, yeah. A no is classy. Depends if you've got an open plan office. Because if you've got a little office or a cub no, yeah. A no is classic. Depends if you've got an open plan office, because if you've got a little office or a cubicle, you can do what you want in there. Or at a kindy, for example.

I work with kids in a preschool room. Sometimes the app keeps me feeling grounded and that I don't belong in an asylum. Oh, my God. What are you doing, miss? I'm trying to find the future, Mr. Roar, right now. Go and eat some Play-Doh, you little shit. Not anymore, says Caitlin.

But back in the day when I was on the apps, I sure did do it at work. It was great entertainment for my married work friends. That's right. Please think of your married work friends. Yes, we love going on the apps. We love having a look. Yeah. And, you know, maybe if you're considering, you know, ending your relationship,

it's sometimes a good awakening that you've actually got it better than you could ever have imagined. Yeah. And you see what's out there. Yeah. Brittany says, not often and only because all my co-workers

have partners and love a good swipe. Yeah. Yeah, so think of your married co-workers. Because work isn't their home and you want to widen the search area for some good talent. So check, you know, you should be checking the work.

Oh, yeah. Probably more during lunch than actual working hours, though. Yeah. If I was on the dating apps, I'd set mine so wide. I can travel. I've got a car.

Yeah, right. You'd be getting into those Hamilton honeys. Oh, the Hamilton honeys. Yeah. I'd even do the Hawke's Bay honeys. Okay, that's all right. That's a long way for a honey.

Yeah, but it depends on the honey. How sweet's the honey? What about a Taranaki tanga? Would you get that? Oh, yeah, I'll go Taranaki tanga. Yeah, but it depends on the honey. How sweet's the honey? What about a Taranaki Tanga? Would you get it? Or a Yogo Taranaki Tanga? Yeah. Or a Wellington Wiggler? Oh, yes.

Can't think of one for some day. I don't know if you can set it that way. What about a Dineen and Daddy? Oh, yeah. Yes. Yeah. Grinder pops off during lunchtime, says Brett. Oh, does it?

Well, you know, horny lunchtime gays. Oh, does it? Well, you know, horny lunchtime gays. Oh, the gays love a bit of a horny lunchtime. That's how they keep it so tight. They skip their lunchtime and they get in a little extra cardio. Well, you can do it at sushi. You can be at the sushi shop. Oh, no, they can't eat it within 10 minutes. You can't be having sushi.

Your mouth's going to taste like soy sauce and ginger. That's not bad. You can't have a sushi. Your mouth's going to taste like soy sauce and ginger. That's not bad. You can't have a pre-sushi. You can't have, this is regardless of your sexual orientation, you can't have a gob full of sushi before lovemaking. Yeah, right. Okay. Fair call.

Yeah, fair call. Brush your teeth at least. And plus, you don't want to hook up with someone with a fish allergy and you've got a bit of salmon in it. And that's valuable time wasted if you've got a bit of salmon in. And that's valuable time wasted if you've got an hour for lunch and St. Pierre's is popping off because it's, I don't know, bloody tuna sushi. No one's going to forget.

I don't know what. Don't eat tuna sushi on a before a hookup. That's not my favourite day. No, yeah. Don't eat that before a hookup. But yeah, brush your teeth at least. Then you're wasting a lot of time on your lunch break. Ella says, only in breaks or when I'm in the bathroom.

Somehow she's justifying to herself that she's taking way longer in the bathroom and it's okay that time. Okay, so which, if you had to hook up with someone on your lunch hour and you just had St. Pierre's sushi of the day, would it be Monday, teriyaki chicken? Yeah. Tuesday, salmon supreme? No. Wednesday, tastyaki chicken? Yeah. Tuesday, salmon supreme? No.

Wednesday, tasty tuna mayo? No. Thursday, California roll? What's in a California roll? Is it crab sticks? No. Cucumber? No.

Smoked salmon avo on a Friday? No. It's Monday. It's Monday, teriyaki chicken. We're having chicken sex. Teriyaki chicken sex. Okay, well, there you go. Monday, the. It's Monday. We're having chicken sex. Cereality chicken sex. Okay, well, there you go. Monday, the best day to have a lunchtime rendezvous.

We did ask if people went on dates during work hours. Yes, we had a supplementary question. Kylie says, yep, on Friday, first coffee date. It was awesome. Everyone in the office was so excited when I left and demanded the information when I got back. Oh, wow. Steph said I went on my second Bumble date with a guy in work hours.

That was five years ago, and we're married now. Oh, cute. Josh,, I went on my second Bumble date with a guy on work hours. That was five years ago and we're married now. Oh, cute. Josh, I'm not that picky. Either during work or book it in for 3 a.m. and I'll be there. There's a man willing to travel.

He'd probably do a Wednesday tasty tuna mayo hookup. Yeah, he would. He's not fussed. Yeah, he's not holding back. I proposed to my wife during work time, says Rodney.

Does that count? Weird, though. You're a company clock. Yeah, you are. Does having sex during work hours count? From Amber. Amber. Amber.

And Matt says, actually, had to go home for a quickie with a friends with benefit once. During work hours. What was that for? You're looking at your watch and Gifor-ing. Well, somebody, somebody has said that they matched with a colleague on their 15-minute break, met up in the Pack and Save sickbay,

and then back to checkouts 35 minutes later. I don't know who that's from. So they're both working at Pack and Save. That doesn't come in via the text machine. Yeah, I know. I thought we were dropping subtle hints. You don't need to point at them. Well, which one of...

Who out of our team worked at Pack and Save? I didn't. Could be anybody, couldn't it? Oh, I didn't. Yeah, no, I never did a supermarket. I certainly didn't. I never did a supermarket. Well, the mystery continues.

Oh! Mind you, I see here it was a half an hour lunch break and back on checkouts 35 minutes later. Oh, that's bad. That's overstaying in the staff room for your lunch break. Did they have why there was a massive line at Pack and Save? It's because they were a checkout operated down. Do they do complimentary mouthwash at the Pack and Save lunch room?

The break room? Add it to your tab. I don't believe so. You don't know? Because are you, did you? I'd go and knock one off the shelf and say damaged product. That's a credit.

Have a. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletchford and Haley. Play ZM. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello. They are now the world's largest potential trading partner, India, I speak of,

with a population of 1.4 billion people. The world's biggest country. When did they just nudge ahead of China? This year. Okay. What was the baby? Isn't it strange that there would be one particular baby that came out

and changed that? Yeah. Or two dead people. Oh yeah, they were dropping off in China. It might have been dropping off.

But yeah, you were that one baby. Circled life. Yeah. Circled life. Circled life. Yeah. That's a lot of people,

isn't it? Yeah. Luckily, the world's got a lot of resources to feed everybody. That's why I love when people announce they're having a baby. I'm like, this is great. The world needs more people.

More people. Yeah, it's what we don't have enough of. More polluters. Yeah. More people to manufacture for. Yeah. Yeah, more power required. Yeah, no, that's...

Harder, you know, strain on water and all these other resources. Well, you say more power needed. The Trans Power just came out yesterday saying that they might have to ration power in New Zealand. Nah, more power, thank you. It's been a long time since a rolling brownout. Was it 20 years ago, 2003? No, it was last year.

The last year there were issues with the grid. What? You've got a short memory, Smithy. Yeah, there was. Were there rolling brownouts last year? No, there got a short memory, Smithy. Yeah, there was. Yeah, last year they... Were there rolling brownouts last year? No, there weren't brownouts

but there were like, they had to ration power and tell people to calm down with their heaters. Yeah, but I'm talking about, oh, it's all these bloody electric cars. Oh, yeah,

we should go back to diesel. All these bloody electric cars. Mm. Get back to coal-powered cars. Yeah. If you ask me. Oh, well, Chippy's off to India, potentially.

I've got the top six things he's going to need to take to India. This is the Prime Minister. This is the Prime Minister. I don't know if this nickname is sticking. Yeah. He's not a builder. Yeah. It's a nickname for a builder or a plumber.

Yeah, Chippy. Not a Prime Minister. They are a Chippy. He is Chippy. Yeah. Number six on the list, sausage rolls. This guy takes sausage rolls everywhere. He took them to the king for crying

out loud. And he had another couple with the British Prime Minister for crying out loud. Well, would you be mad if he turned up and had a sausage roll? It's just a bit embarrassing. It's very flaky for a meeting. It goes all over your suit. And you've got a different sauce and then you've got a potential sauce stain on your lap.

And you're talking to the Prime Minister of India or whoever and you've got a big fl stain on your lap. And you're talking to the Prime Minister of India or whoever and you've got a big flake on your tooth. Also embarrassing that the Prime Minister of India would be like, here's some delicious, you know, multi-layered food and we're like, here's a sauce and a trowel. Here's a sauce and a trowel for you, good sir. Number five on the list of the top six things Chippy's going to take to India. Sunscreen.

Let's face it. He's pale. The dude is going to need sunscreen. Will be. Let's face it. He's pale. The dude is going to need sunscreen. Will be summer, won't it? Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six things

Chippy's going to need to take to India. Imodium. That'll lock you right up when you get the shits. Oh yeah, that sounds great. He doesn't strike me as somebody

with a wide-ranging food palette or an extremely strong constitution. No, it sounds to me like he's nuggies and sausage rolls. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's nuggies and sausage rolls. He, yeah, yeah. He's nuggies and sausage rolls. He doesn't strike me as a... If it can't be dipped, he won't eat it. Yeah. He's like a fussy kid. If the sausage roll's

got too much peppercorn in it, he's like, whoo, whoo, whoo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my gosh. And he's a big mac and cheese guy. Oh, yeah.

He's got big mac and cheese energy. So when he hits the rich foods of India with mixing in a little food poisoning, he's going to need that Imodium to block him right up. Yeah. Number three on the list

of the top six things Chippy's going to take to India. A big can of Black Flag for night time. Bomb the room out before he goes to sleep. And some AeroGuard bug spray with high DEET. You need the big, the tropical strength DEET. Tropical strength DEET you want. 40% DEET.

It's the active ingredient in bug repellent. If you're going to the tropical islands or South America, that's what you need. Or the west coast of the South Island. Those sandflies down there are the size of bats. Yeah, they are. Number two on the list of the top six things Chippy's going to have to take to India. Big hat. Big wide-brimmed hat.

He's going to need a big hat to get the sun off his face. He likes hats. He rocks a straw hat quite well, though. He rocked that hat when they approached him in the street, and he's wearing a Speed Dealers and a hoodie and the baseball cap, too. He's not afraid of a hat. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six things Chibi's going to need to take to India,

a black cap shirt. Oh, yeah. My mate who cycled through Asia, when he got to India and Pakistan, he said he got his New Zealand flag out because everyone treated him like royalty because they just wanted to talk about cricket non-stop. What's that cricketer, Christian Cullen? Yep. Is he it?

Yeah, yeah, that's a famous all-black. Yeah, the camo kid. No, not Christian Cullen. Who's the famous cricketer, New Zealand cricketer? There's lots of them. Chris Cairns. There's lots of them. No, the Carmo kid. No, not Christian Cullen. Who's the famous cricketer, New Zealand cricketer? There's lots of them. Chris Cairns. There's lots of them. No, there's lots of them.

That's the one name I probably wouldn't rock straight in with. They'd go, you're Stephen Flemings, they'd go, you're Daniel Vittori. You're Brendan McCullum.

When I went to India with Chris Parker, comedian Chris Parker, everyone kept yelling that cricketer's name at him because he was white and blonde and from New Zealand. Chris Cairns isn't blonde?

Who was it? It was, anyway. Chris Pringle? I mean, there's a retro Kiwi cricket reference. I can't remember. But anyway, crickets, you're in. Yeah, it is.

With the good people of India, that is today's top six. Well, the new TV show is out tonight, 7.30 on 3, and he's in to talk about it, Paddy Gower. Good morning. Good morning. Paddy Gower has issues.

I've got lots of issues. So you did some really, really good specials. I'm not just saying that because you're here. Everybody raved about them and then followed them up with Paddy Gower on meth, Paddy Gower on alcohol. What else did you do? Paddy Gower on meth, Paddy Gower on alcohol. What else did you do? Paddy Gower on weed. That's right.

Paddy Gower on all the drugs. Yeah. So I think I've run out of booze, I've run out of drugs, I've run out of all these other kind of issues. And so the bosses have sort of said, well, can you start covering some other people's issues, not just your own? So even though it's called Paddy Gower Has Issues, people I think have seen most of my issues anyway,

the televisual ones, the ones that can be televised anyway. Yeah. So this is about all sorts of other issues that we face. And tonight, for instance, we're taking on something really big, which is the way that our kids are taught to read in our schools, which people will see tonight is probably not the best way in the world. And our kids actually are starting to suck at reading and New Zealand is starting to suck at reading. And we're also looking at another really massive issue, which is the sad music that they play in supermarkets.

Because I was like, man, kids reading is not starting with the small issues, but now this is a bit more my pace. Why do they play sad music in supermarkets? Yeah, yeah. So we've got, each week we're going to have two issues because, you know, people like, you know, the amazing stuff that you guys, I listen to ZM and the amazing stuff that you talk about in the mornings that resonates with people.

We're going to basically do a lot of that. We want it to be something that people find interesting and whether kids can read or not is really interesting, but people are going to want to have some fun as well and they're going to see us absolutely use science and a global investigation into the music played in countdown supermarkets in New Zealand. So you've got a whole set.

It's like a US talk show, a live audience. Yep, there's a live audience. There'll be comedians in the studio, Eli Mathewson and Courtney Dawson, who you guys will know, who are super funny. They'll be our news desk, so people will be able to tune in for the news of the week, but see it in a funny way.

They'll have serious issues brought to them by me and some of the News Hub journalists. And then we'll have Karen O'Leary, who people will know from Wellington Paranormal. She is out as our community investigator and she's getting stuck into these things like the music and supermarkets and getting to the bottom of stuff

that Kiwis have a problem with. And they might, you know, she's basically going to be a Karen for all of New Zealand in a good way. So it's a show, look, I look at it sometimes thinking, how the hell are we going to do it, you know, have all the serious stuff and all of the comedy, but it's on tonight, we've got to do it.

We are doing it, it's going to happen. And it's going to be fun for people. I mean, you know, I'm crapping myself, but it's going to be fun for people. Well, they won know, I'm crapping myself, but it's going to be fun for people. Well, they won't see that, but they will see me a little nervous. It's an election year, so it's one of those years where things we didn't even know were an issue, we're told it's an issue by political parties.

So is there filtering through that sort of stuff as well, dealing with those sorts of issues ahead of the election? Yeah, and sometimes, you know, I think I want to get past what politicians are on about. You know, I worked in politics for 10 years. I know all of their tricks and stuff like that. And there's stuff that's important to people and they don't need to be told it by a politician. And whether their kid can read or not is really, really important. And when, you know, when a mum or a dad finds out that their kid can't read or not, you know, that becomes a real central issue for them. And, you know, I see politicians read or not, you know, that becomes a real central issue for them.

And, you know, I see politicians saying, oh, you know, we'll have one hour of teaching reading and we'll have one less student in every class and one more teacher and all that sort of thing. But if you're teaching your kids the wrong stuff, well, it doesn't matter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's kind of where we're getting to tonight, Vaughan,

is, you know, we want to have issues that politicians aren't telling, that are an issue for Kiwis, not an issue for politicians trying to get votes. Yeah. Like supermarket music, because no politician is campaigning on that at this stage. But that might change. Yeah, I'm going to say, you'll do tonight,

and they'll say, oh, people really like that. That might become a mainstay of our party policies going into the election. Could be a game changer. Yeah. Could be a game changer. Well. Could be a game changer. Well, Paddy Gower has issues. It's a new one-hour show.

It starts tonight at 7.30 on 3 and then every week. Yep, every week after that. So people will be able to tune in. And I want them to bring me their issues. You know, we'll investigate. We'll send Karen O'Leary out or I'll go out or someone else from the team will go out. And I think people are going to see it.

Just open up about your issues like I have over the last few years and it's going to be pretty awesome. Maybe Karen could go out and sort out your public toilet issue. Hey, well, what is it? What is it? She can. We're doing all these upgrades to central Auckland, all this transport and everything, but if you need to go for poos,

it's pretty grim. It's horrible. It's like a heroin den. It's horrible. I described it as it had a heroin den vibe. Did you film anything in there? I filmed it. Can we use it? Yeah, I can point you to the exact toilet. There's a lot of hovering over stainless steel,

Paddy. A lot of hovering. That is an issue. It's an issue. It's really strong calves I noticed on Vaughan on the way in Looking forward to the first episode tonight Patti Gower, thank you so much Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Misery

Hit it Misery Great song Great song Great song Real Great song. It's not a bad song. Great song. Real time and a place, isn't it, this song? Real moment in time. They've got some bangers, Paramore.

They've got some bangers. Okay, okay, okay. This isn't Paramore's. You sounded like you were surprised. No. No, I just haven't heard this song. No, no. No, I just haven't heard it for a while.

No. So good. The Hanks Annual Misery Index, or the HARMI, gives us the answers of who is miserable. Where is this from? So it's done by economic data and stuff, isn't it? And inflation. It is the sum of the end of year unemployment multiplied by two.

Yeah. Inflation. Carry the one. Carry the one. Yeah. Bank lending rates by two. Yeah. Inflation. Carry the one. Carry the one. Yeah. Bank lending rates minus the annual percentage change in real GDP per capita. So higher readings on the first three parts of that are bad and make people miserable because there's unemployment, inflation, and bank lending rates.

Right. Now you beware, we've had an inflation. We've had a bit of a boop boop of inflation. But worldwide, inflation's having a bit of a boop boop. Yeah. But it's all Jacinta's fault. Of course. It's TaxCenter.

It's TaxCenter. It's JabsCenter's fault. Yeah. It's JabsCenter, yeah. It's definitely not happening around the world. Oh, definitely not. To everywhere. No, no, no.

Regardless of if their government is right or left wing. Yeah, it's VaxCenter. Yeah. Bank lending rates, inflation and unemployment, those are the bad factors. And then they take away the annual percentage change in the real GDP. So it's actually like a real economics thing.

It's not walking around being like, hey, hey, hey. Hey, how you feeling? How you feeling, mate? You're miserable. You're miserable. You're bloody misery guts. So where did New Zealand come on the misery index?

Well, I will say last year we were 151st out of 156. Oh, well done. One is the worst. One is the worst. Right, okay. So we were very close to not being miserable. God, everyone who's listening who's miserable is like, well, I wasn't asked.

Yeah. Because you're so miserable. Now we're 104th. God, everyone who's listening who's miserable is like, well, I wasn't asked. Because you're so miserable. Now we're 104th. So we've gone quite a few 40-odd places closer to misery. And apparently our bank lending rate was the major contributing factor. Yeah, that's making me a bit miserable. Yeah.

As someone who's recently sat down to do his accounts and seen how much interest he pays. Was that what that mental breakdown was like at the end of last week? That was worrying about having to do my accounts yesterday. I did them. It's an ongoing thing. I think I'm still in shock. The MTV starts tomorrow. And then when they're about to change, get a whole lot worse.

Yeah. You can see why that was a major contributing factor. Who's the most miserable? I've got the top 10 most miserable countries. Is Ukraine in there? Yes. Yeah, I was going to say. I mean, I'd be pretty miserable if bombs were being dropped in my...

That's not even taken into account. No, it's not. But that would affect things like your GDP. Yeah, yeah. Interest rates. Yeah, yeah. Interest rates and stuff. Turkey, number 10.

Or Turkey. Turkey. Turkey. Turkey. Turkey. Number 9, Cuba. Oh, that's sad because Cuba's such a beautiful country. Yeah. Number nine, Cuba. Oh, that's sad because Cuba's such a beautiful country. Yeah.

Number eight, Ukraine. Seven, Yemen. Which sounds like I'm doing a bingo night. Number seven, Yemen. Up the Yemen, number seven. Seven fishing in the Yemen. Yeah. Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Number six, Argentina. Insane inflation in Argentina. What is the current... Dude, I think it was like over 100%. Why is it so bad? And they're so hot too. It's sad. They love meat.

That's a sad thing. They love smoked meat. How can you be sad when you're so beautiful and have all the meat? What did they say our inflation is at the moment? Like 7%? 7%. Okay. In April, 108.8%.

How? I'm feeling it for the Argentinian version of Vaughan that just sat there. The Argentinian version of Vaughan wouldn't be eating some meats. That's for sure. He'd be going without. He'd be having lean cuts. He'd be having lean cuts. And now he's even more miserable.

No, exactly. be having lean cuts. He'd be having lean cuts. And now he's even more miserable. No, exactly. Number five, Sudan. In Africa, they've got a civil war raging there at the moment. Yeah, they do. It's horrible to see every now and then. Just skittered in amongst the other shit news happening around the world on the news. Four, Lebanon. Three, Syria.

Some of them just don't need explanation, do they? Number two, Venezuela. Yeah. That's ongoing. That's been happening for years. That's had inflation and problems for years. Yeah. And number one, Zimbabwe.

Oh. Zimbabwe has suffered endemic inflation since the Mugabe era, including two episodes of hyperinflation, in which inflation exceeded 50% per month for 30 or more days. Last year, annual inflation in Zimbabwe, 243.8%. And lending rates, 131.8%. So if you borrow $100 from the bank, you have to repay that $100 with an additional $131. That's nuts. No.

The inflation rate in Venezuela increased by 436% in April alone. That's something bust there. The maximum level was 34,000. No, that's 344,000. We can power cars from the sun. How are we letting this happen to other countries? That's not so. Well, anyway, that puts it in perspective, doesn't it?

It sounds to me like some countries need liberation. I'm winking. I'm winking. I'm winking. Okay, good luck with that. I'm winking. Good luck with that. If China's listening,

that's how America's got away with it for so many invasions. They get an eviscerator from there. That's the scary thing is the only person that probably could afford to pay all these countries' debts

is the Bank of China. Anyway, we could sit here and politically pull this world apart and probably solve it. But we've got wacky things to talk about. Yeah, wacky, wacky things. We're going to talk about the new spark in your relationship next. Yes, and how I've achieved it. The woes of inflation to the sparks in the bedroom.

Oh! We don't want to know about that, actually. Oh, you don't? Because I've written it down in detail. Well, there's a new episode of your podcast out today. I'm sure we'll hear all about that then. Oh, my God. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey.

Play ZM. Twelve years into my relationship with my fiancé, Aaron, and we found a bit of a spark. Your fiancé's popping up in my mailbox. Yeah, I know. Aaron and we found a bit of a spark. Your fiance's popping up in my mailbox Yeah, I know. On the ad for Greg Grover from Nova.

We all yell Aaron! Whenever the Nova ad comes on in our house Aaron's on TV! That's Hayley's fiance. That's cute. He's got a rush to the TV

just to watch him. Yeah. I stick my head around the corner I'm like, yep, that's him. I felt really bad throwing that flyer in the bin because he's on it. I know and I was like Bye Aaron! Was it three of them? It goes on the fridge. I'm like, yep, that's him. I felt really bad throwing that flyer in the bin because he's on it.

I know. And I was like, was that three of them? No, it goes on the fridge. Was it three Aarons? Yeah, he was on the flyer multiple sides. And I was just like, sorry. And I chucked it in the bin. Oh, that's nice.

You said sorry, though. I think he felt it. You binned him. Sorry. I binned him. I'm sorry. I think he felt it. That's nice.

Well, at the moment, I'm staying at an Airbnb. Like, I want to say 11 minutes away from our house. You're closer to me than you are to him. I know. I know. Well, we can go on a couple of dates if you want. No, thanks. Okay.

Wow, that was too quick. That was too quick. Okay, go again. Go again. We could go on a couple of dates if you want. I'll consider it. Great. That didn't sound genuine.

That didn't sound right either. His voice went too high. Yeah. But it's just so you're closer to the filming of the Great Cookie Kiwi Bake Off. That's right, the Great Cookie Kiwi Bake Off. And also because we live in a construction site, so broadcasting from there was just like going to be hell. So I'm set up in this Airbnb and Aaron's at home

and so we're sort of dating again. Is he not sleeping at the Airbnb? No, because Rolly's at home and we can't leave Rolly in a cold house on his own. Oh my god. It's a cat. He'll be cold. It's a cat. He'll be cold. It's a very cold house

if the fire's not lit and kept stoked all night for Rolly. This is ridiculous. It's a cat. It's a cat. It's a very cold house if the fire's not lit and kept stoked all night for Raleigh. This is ridiculous. It's a cat. Very resilient. No, and he'll also be like, where's my daddy? Where's he gone? This is a cat. I would not.

If you were like, I'm staying in the Airbnb, you need to stay in the construction zone because the cat gets lonely and cold. I'd be like, no. I'd just bring the cat to the Airbnb. Yeah. He needs to stay in the house that has no shower or toilet. Yeah, so the cat doesn't get lonely. Yeah, absolutely. Well, we're sort of dating

again at the moment because we live in separate houses and we haven't lived apart. We've lived together like less than a year after we got together. So it's been over 11 years of living together until now. And now we have to like plan these little dates.

So he'll come over for dinner. Dude, yesterday, right? Only if the cat doesn't get lonely and cold. No, the cat's taken care of. He'll stoke up the fire at home and make sure Rolly's had pets and cuddles. He's leaving a fire unattended in a house made of old, dry wood.

Well, I'll tell you what, at this point in the renovation, I'd actually be quite happy if it burned down. So yes, we are living in unattended fire. Anyway, so like yesterday, for example, I filmed late and then Aaron was like, well, I'll come over for dinner. And I was like, great. And I hadn't even thought about what dinner was. And then Aaron and I pulled up into the driveway of the Airbnb and Aaron was already waiting there for me to open the gate.

And I was like, ooh. And then we greeted each other in the driveway and then I led us into my little house. And Aaron had packed a little chili bin of ingredients and he cooked me dinner in my house. But then he didn't even eat dinner because he'd already had dinner. So he literally just turned up to cook me dinner. Like a private chef.

Like a private chef. Like a private chef. And then like catch up on the couch with a glass of wine. And then he told me to go to bed. But not in a sexy way, like get in the bed. But like go to bed and then he left. And then you go to bed because you've got to wake up early. Yeah, but it's quite thrilling like not living together and you sort of text being like, well, what should we do tonight?

Should we stay at yours or should we stay at mine? Or, you know, what should we do for dinner? And, like, planning little dates. It's a bloody new spark. The true test if it's a new spark is when he was cooking dinner last night, did you criticize him in any way or tell him he was using too many dishes? No, I didn't. Wow, it is dating.

It is dating. It's a honeymoon period. Yeah. Even though, like, what he was making me is probably not something that I would have, you know. There it is. There it is dating. It is dating. It's the honeymoon period. Yeah. Even though like what he was making me is probably not something that I would have, you know. There it is. There it is. I knew it was there. I knew it was just on the surface.

But I didn't say anything, Pauline. You just had to scratch it. I didn't say anything. I just let him do it and it was delicious and yum and I ate it and it was very nice. Right. Something smells like it's burning. Did you say that? I did say those pans are quite difficult to use because he's used to like

non-stick pans but now Airbnb has just stainless steel. Airbnb's never dropped any extra cash on any decent pots or pans and then you spend the last morning when you're about to check out Airbnb scrubbing. Because you don't want the cleaning fee. You don't want to have to pay the extra cleaning fee.

Because their $12 Kmart pan's got a mark on it. Couldn't handle an egg. Well, I have to say, if you were having, not that we were in a lull, but we've been in the thick of it with our Renault, if you need a little pick-me-up, go book an Airbnb for one of you

and have a little date for a week. It's good fun. Who gets to go to the Airbnb? Just that outhouse, whoever gets left behind has got a lot of responsibility. Yeah, because there's kids there. You've got to lunch, dogs, fences. Yeah.

Who gets to stay off the cat stoking the fire so that he's nice and warm? There's always someone that loses here. Yeah. Yeah, there really is. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. It was nice. It was nice last night. It was nice last night. It was nice last night.

New Zealand felt united again, just for a minute. For the first time in a beat. In years. The first time since Taksinda left. Politically, the first time in a long time. We felt united. Left and right. Because we had a common enemy.

This is what we need. This is what we need. We need a common enemy. I don't think we need This is what we need. We need a common enemy. I don't think we need any enemies. That's not working out well for a lot of other countries. Well, I was thinking a common enemy could be like climate change. But the problem is not everybody believes the enemy even exists. Exactly.

It's hard to have a common enemy when people are like, that's your imaginary friend, and other people are like, the house that slipped off the hill says otherwise. But we had a common enemy. Miami Zoo. Because yesterday it came to light.

Can we say how we know about the... Well, it's all over the news. A New Zealand journalist blew this wide open after saying on TikTok that Miami Zoo had a Kiwi for a start. How? Who knew? I thought those were our pandas. after seeing on TikTok that Miami Zoo had a kiwi for a start.

How? Who knew? I thought those were our pandas. Like we had them and you could borrow one maybe, but we want it back and if you wreck it, you don't get your bond back. Yeah, we should at least be charging them out if we are going to. Yeah, no, they very much were, everything I've read is very much it's an ownership situation.

Oh, really? How did they get it? They put it in a suitcase and left. Just took off with it. Paora is the name of the kiwi, named after an environmentalist, I believe, back here in Aotearoa. But it popped up that this kiwi was part of a Miami Zoo animal experience where in a very white room under intensely fluorescent looking lights, this kiwi was brought out and paraded around and people would pat it and such.

Oh, dear. And they would pay to do that. They would pay to do that, yeah. Like if you're ever going to pat an animal at a zoo. Which you could never. Or go for an experience. You could never do that in New Zealand. You can't even see them at the zoo.

At Auckland Zoo, you go into the Kiwi room, it's so dark, you're tripping over kids and you're falling over things and then a tourist comes in and turns on their flashlight on their phone and you're like, hey! Turn it off! And then you've got to just let your eyes adjust for a while and then you peer around hoping to see a little bit of movement and you're like, oh, there's a Kiwi.

Yeah. There's a Kiwi in there. They're so hard to spot in there. But then that's fair enough because they're nocturnal. They're nocturnal. They love the dark, not fluorescent lights. Although you do see the odd one in the wild pop out on Stewart Island in a video.

Stewart Island kiwis are a different breed. They're weird, aren't they? They're just massive. Stewart Island kiwis are huge and they just don't care and they're just like running around like Roadrunner. Wow. Yeah, they're massive and they fight and they fornic't care and they're just like running around like roadrunner. Wow. Yeah, they're massive and they fight and they fornicate in public.

It's amazing videos. Google YouTube Stuart Island Kiwis in the daytime. It's insane. But this was, I don't know exactly what type of Kiwi this is. So that's the other one. There's lots of different sorts of Kiwi. Maybe a brown one or a spotted one. It's so sad.

In one of the videos, it goes into its little tunnel and then the flaps open, the lid of its home, and then they shut it and it runs in because it's dark and then they open the lid again and it's like, ah! Yeah, it's like when you put your cows in the chili bin because cows, of course, are a nocturnal creature. Yes, they are. You put them in the chili bin and you shut the lid

and that's where they're happy. Yeah. And they're ice and then you open them up and you pluck one out and you just like rip its neck open and you just drink its bodily fluids. Yeah. Yeah, I can't wait to find out

whatever nation they're native to is going to be absolutely hit the roof when that stuff gets on. They are. So they're very, very sorry about it apparently. The Miami Zoo have issued an apology but the best part is they probably were off to bed

when New Zealand really caught wind of this. Yeah. And Twitter is just full of memes and resharing and like tweeting the link to contact the Miami Zoo social pages. This is great. You're right. We have come together. Is Paora On his own?

That's the other thing Yeah it's a solo Kiwi They're not like a I don't think they're A super social bird Like they don't Go in flocks Like ducks

And pigeons And Canadian geese Could be a Gen Z Yeah Because you know They just like their own Their alone time Oh you say he's working from home

Yeah he's working from home So you're saying This Kiwi's a Gen Z. Yeah. He's working from home, but he's doing, he's overseas, but his work's got no idea because he's still like clocking in and doing the hours. Yeah, 100%. I have a buzz. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Well, a man called Arthur Ross is 71 years old, and he at the University of British Columbia this last week gone finally finished his Bachelor of Arts degree after 50. A BA! A BA after 50. His parents would have been so miffed about this.

Just get it finished Arthur, it's a BA. Does it say what it's in? Bachelor of Arts in? It doesn't? Like what a Bachelor of Arts in? It doesn't know. Just a Bachelor of Arts. It'll be something like English. Oh, no.

So 54 years since he first enrolled. And the best news is it's going to take him another 54 years to get a job and pay off what he's doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. He won't pay it off, will he? He's going to die with that debt and pass it off to his children. So he actually, in 2016, he retired from his work,

and he decided, well, it's unfinished. I might as well just plug away and chip away at it. Okay, so a retirement project. Yeah, and he finally finished it. So he wasn't studying the whole time and switching majors. Yeah, right. But he has been called the slowest student in the world. Oh, cute.

But yeah, he's done it. He's got a picture of wearing the silly hat and the gown. Good for him. He did it. Better late than never, as they say. Yeah. Yeah. I've got lots of friends who took ages to finish their degrees.

Not that long. Surprise, surprise. I don't know if I attract those kind of people. Someone in the arts took ages to finish their degrees. Not that long. Surprise, surprise. I don't know if I attract those kind of people. Surprise, surprise. Someone in the arts, someone in the arts of ages to finish their degree. Or they start in the arts and then do another degree and then they're like,

I don't like that degree, I'll go to another. And then they're just a full-time student. What is paleontology? I'll give it a look. I'll give it a go. Yeah, yeah. I'll have a scratch there.

Well, if I'm going to go to France, I better learn, you know, better do a couple of French papers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would be nice. I'm going to go on holiday to Greece so I'll learn some Greek better do a couple of French papers. Yeah, it would be nice. I'm going to go on holiday to Greece, so I'd learn some Greek as well. Yeah, it's just that it's interest-free now, so, you know, it's not real debt until I try to buy a house one day

and then it is very real debt. Well, seeing as it took 54 years to do a Bachelor of Arts, I thought, could we take some calls this morning? What took you forever to finish? Oh, yeah, those things that just drag on. Like, I started writing a film script in 2016. morning what took you forever to finish oh yeah those things are just drag on like i started writing a film script in 2016 now that's not coming to a cinema near you anytime soon how how far through is the script well what i mean how it depends on how many times we started again

do you have the love and passion for it after that long i'd imagine i've never done it but writing of films must be something that when you start you're just full of this passion for it after that long. I'd imagine, I've never done it, but writing of films must be something that when you start, you're just full of this passion for it. It comes in waves. Right. Creative projects come in waves. What about if you use us two

as two new characters? It's sort of more of a female-led film. I don't, there's some small male bit parts. Could be a tangent. Vaughn and I could go camping with our horses in the outback. My Wi-Fi connection out at this Airbnb is just getting terrible.

You know, you're really walking a fine line there, saying it's female-led. Just saying in 2023. Am I? Reverse cancel. Got a bit of a JK Rowling feel to it is all I'm saying. Oh, wow. Okay, I'll be here.

You might have to diversify, I think. See, I'm never going to finish this film script if I'm already getting cancelled over it before it's been finished. But I don't know. Everybody's always got those things that are on the go, right, that are never finished. I still haven't unpacked my bag from the last international holiday I took. You know, the suitcase is there

I'm probably grabbing stuff out of it as I need it and when it's empty I'll put it away but no I think my record was like

three weeks home I still hadn't unpacked my suitcase probably I do it that morning I do it that day that I get back you're a sociopath

so yes well whether it took you 50 years to do a Bachelor of the Arts or forever. Maybe you were renovating your house and it was always just that one bit of jib that hadn't been plastered.

Oh, yeah, if you grew up with a tradie in the family who was renovating their house and they always got home from work doing it and they couldn't be bothered doing it anymore and then the weekends come and they're like, I've just done it five days in a row, 12 hours a day. Why would I want to do it here? Can't blame them. And people with project cars. Oh, yeah. Ah, the worst.

Just tinkering away on those for years. Just waiting on a part. So what took you forever to finish? Or it's still ongoing now. Maybe you've got a project on the go that you just haven't even come close to finishing. We're asking you now, what took forever to finish or is still ongoing? A man has been called the world's oldest student

after finally getting his Bachelor of Arts at age 71. Aww. This text we've got is, you listen to this as a parent caught between, I wish they'd just get

this bloody thing done, and extreme pride. Okay. The first half of the sentence is where you're going to get this bloody thing done. Yeah. My Okay. Okay. The first half of the sentence is where you're going to get this bloody thing done. Yeah. My son is still doing

a degree that he started in 2013. Get the bloody thing done. Admittedly, comma, he did get an Olympic gold medal during this time as well.

Oh. Oh. Well, yeah, you've got to, I'm imagining that's a lot of training for whatever. But I imagine,

you know, the dinner table is wearing the gold medal. I'm imagining if they're siblings, I'd wear my gold medal. Oh, my God, same. To every family event. Every Christmas. You don't have one of these, loser. What have you guys achieved in the sporting?

Nothing. Fascinating. Because I'm a gold medalist. But then Dad would always say, couldn't get that agreed on, though, could you? Because it's important that somebody always brings you back down to earth. It is the Kiwi way. It is, it is. Let's go to Camilla.

Camilla, what's taking forever? So my daughter started diamond painting about three years ago and still hasn't finished it. What's a diamond painting? A diamante or diamond? Diamond. So it's like little tiny beads that you stick down on a piece of paper. Oh, God.

It's like an A4 size piece of paper and it's taken us three years to... My mum would chuck that out. Yeah, same. My mum would chuck her out if something left around half done. And mum would have been like, it must have been the wind. Yeah, I don't know what happened. Yeah, I don't know what happened to that. Maybe we were burglarized.

Yeah, probably. When they stole all those diamonds that you missed to get a piece of paper. People that do like mosaic tile art, that must be so frustrating. Oh, I know. That must take forever. I'd just do half and be like, I'm bored.

I need a green tile. I need a green tile. Just put square tiles on the rest of it. What am I going to have, bluegrass? This is ridiculous. 32 years to knit a jumper. Reads a text message.

Took me three months to hand wash my woolens Would have used a washing machine But of course it doesn't like woolens Woolens were just hanging about That's also cute If the longest thing you've ever taken is washing woolens Somebody said I started building the deck in my house over a year ago

Still haven't finished I'm a builder. And the only reason I'm putting my foot down now to get it finished is because we want to sell the house. And, of course, you can't sell a house with a half-finished deck. Good to know that tradies can't finish your own things either. Yeah, that is comforting, actually. I'm comforted by that. Yeah.

Our friend Michael has three to four project cars on his front lawn that have been there for at least seven years. And whenever you're like, Michael. I bet the neighbors love that. No, no, no, no, no, no, it's a work in progress. Here's hope for you Hayley because if you've just joined the show, Hayley's been working on a screenplay. Is that what I call it or a script? Yes, either or since 2016.

Someone said I've been working on my novel for, I'm on 20 year, the year 20 of working on my novel. what's it about? I don't know I didn't ask them oh I wonder if it's like a true crime

when do you pull the plug who done it? yeah when do you pull the plug on those sorts of things? because you hear about like musicians sitting down and writing a song in like four minutes

and it was a number one hit versus a musician that's been working on their perfect piece that no one's going to want to listen to when they're finished years and years later. Yeah, there's no winning, is there?

If you've written a book and it's taken 20 years, I reckon there'll be some problematic stuff you have to go back and change. Yeah, you have to do some character switches because it was pretty gollywog heavy at the start there. Yes. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. There have been two dates in my calendar for months, right?

Slipknot tickets go on sale. That was in yesterday. Yep. And then the Slipknot concert in October. And look, not a lot of my friends listen to Slipknot anymore. But I was like, you know, they're an iconic band and I'm still a fan. Would you say iconic? It's weird, probably because

they were so outlandish to people that didn't listen to them if they ever saw what they looked like, because it was like seven guys. It was a lot of them. All in masks. All in these insane masks. It was in that real era of shock rock in the 90s and 2000s.

Parents wanted them banned. Parents didn't quite know what the hell was going on with this. Slipknot. They play the devil's music. Yes, they do. Anyway, but they're a big part of my gym playlist. Every now and then I love a dirty listen in the army. They're not a gym playlist.

Yes, they are. Oh, my God. No. If you need a little bit of get Yes, they are. Oh, my God. No. If you need a little bit of get up and go. You need some beats per minute, not some rock bloody. I know. So now I'm measuring at the gym. You're at Deep Heart and Funky.

You're at Deep. You're at Splore. I would love a machine that you just pointed at someone wearing headphones and you could listen to what they're listening to. I just think that would be the most funniest thing, right? Next time we all go to the gym on the same day, we should swap playlists. Like we should share and you could listen to mine

and I'll listen to Vaughn's. I don't have a playlist. I don't listen to music at the gym. Yeah, but the person who gets your playlist has to watch a weird show. Oh, there'll be season two of Sons of Anarchy at the moment. Oh my, he's finally on to Sons of Anarchy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I tell you what, he's a good looking boy, isn't he? Charlie Hunnam. He's a good looking boy. His acting's... But you forgive him because he's a cutie.

Because he's a cutie patootie. He's a cutie pie. Anyway, so yesterday I was like 11am, I'm going to be on set, I set an alarm because that's when they went on sale and then I can't remember how, like I read an article and it was like 11 a.m. I'm going to be on set. I set an alarm because that's when they went on sale.

And then I can't remember how, like I read an article and it was like Slipknot's touring around. And I was like, this is so exciting. And then 11 a.m. I was there and I, I'm sorry to say, because I was going to take producer Jared. I just missed out on tickets because. What do you mean? It's sold out. It's sold out. It's sold out.

Well, when the tickets went on sale for their tour in 2016, yeah, it's sold out. Wait a minute, so Slipknot were never coming? Slipknot were never coming. How did you get fed a news article that Slipknot were touring in 2016? Dude, I don't know. I'm sorry, I don't want to slam the other network but The Rock advertised

to me somewhere that Slipknot was touring and I went on their Facebook page and I was like, yeah, there it is. And then it said, and I went on Ticketmaster.co.nz and it said, tickets go on sale Monday, May 23rd. Now, yesterday was Tuesday, 23rd.

I thought that was a typo. You overlooked it as an error. Yeah, right. Just saw an error. So you had an old post an ad from another radio station promoting a tour from 2016. Things started to click into place for me yesterday when I was trying to get on the right website for the tickets. It was like go to Live Nation.

I ticked and it wasn't there. And then I was like go on the Slipknot website. And they're touring but it didn't say New Zealand. Then I went back on Ticketmaster. Zero events upcoming. But then underneath it says, Auckland tour dates announced. As they prepare to embark on their biggest US tour to date. Slipknot have announced a New Zealand show to kickstart.

All these dates have been in my calendar. But I am seven years too late. How the hell were you seven years out? Producer Jared, I'm so sorry. Producer Jared, did you know that this was seven years ago? No, I had no idea. I didn't do any research. You were excited, but Hayley's going, I'll go with Hayley.

Yeah, I was like, I'm going to headbang. I'm going to make the death metal hand signs. We're like metal buddies. When metal people come to town, we know we can go with Hayley. Yeah, I was like, I'm going to headbang. I'm going to make the death metal hand signs. We're like metal buddies. When metal people come to town, we know we can go with each other now. But you're not pit people, really. You wouldn't be getting in the pit. No, Jared is. That's why I left him at Papa Roach.

I'm not getting in the pit. You two need a better taste. Good news is Slipknot are touring. They are, but they're not coming to New Zealand. They kick it off in June in Austria and then do prominently around Europe. Right. But not New Zealand, unless it was seven years ago. I do not know how this kind of like popped up in my radar,

this New Zealand Slipknot concert, but it is so late. I think the algorithm's off. Yeah. So look, I just missed out on tickets by seven years and one day. Somebody messaged saying, I heard you mention Slipknot yesterday and tickets, and I frantically began searching in a right panic that I, Slipknot's biggest fan, would miss out on their return to New Zealand. I couldn't find anything, and I thought, what the hell's going on here?

Now this all makes perfect sense. But great news is this person went to the 2016 concert. I'm so sorry to get your hopes up. Because you remember yesterday when I said, oh, like, guys, I've got to keep my, you know, my timer on for 11 a.m. for Slipknot tickets. You were like, I don't think we've got a lot of Slipknot listeners. So you stopped down

a major television production The Great Kiwi Sponge and Cookie Program You were like guys pause in recording or carry on the presenter needs to leave it's an emergency and you shut down production From the time I got on set

I went into hair and makeup then we went into the thing and they were about to do the interviews, and I was like, give me five. And I left. And I was like, where the hell is it? Well, it's back in 2016. I love that. I love that.

Well, there's been a study done into how much it costs the average person to attend a wedding in 2023. Okay. What about the cost of the average person to have a wedding? Well, that's, yeah, that's a lot of money. Tell me if you think this is too much. $981. New Zealand? Yeah. That's way too much. Per person? Yep. Okay, double that. But if you think about it, you can easily make that up. Like flights these days are so expensive. Yes, even if you were going, say you were going from, I

don't know, Christchurch to Auckland for a wedding or to Queenstown, a destination wedding, even within New Zealand or in one of the regions, you've got to get flights. Then you've got to get accommodation or an Airbnb. I mean, big love to my friends Laura Daniel and Joseph Moore, but they had a New Year's Eve wedding in Queenstown. She wasn't cheap to get there. No, so yeah, you would have easily, once you'd got a gift, because this is how they break it down.

Oh, no gift. Gift for the couple. No gift. Your presence was a gift enough. My presence was a gift enough. Your presence was present enough. That literally is a saying that writes itself. How did you get it wrong? Your presence is gift enough.

Your presence is present enough. You're an idiot. It's so embarrassing for me. Your gift is present enough. You're an idiot. It's so embarrassing from you. Your gift is presence enough. What, the rolling boulder getters no grass? Your gift is present enough. Your presence. Whatever you bring us for a gift will be enough.

Yeah. Your presence is present enough. So they, in this breakdown, they put the gift at $217. No, no, no, no, no. It's $50 each, right? Oh, no, I go $75. I go $150 per couple. Depends how much you like the people.

No, that's way too much. No. For my experience, is gift enough? My gift is gift enough. A combination they put at $200. Easy. That's too cheap That's only one night

And if you're travelling away You're going for two You're going for two Childcare They put at $200 True Grandparents Grandparents

But if you can't get grandparents If you're not fortunate enough Then that's going to cost you a lot Travel they put at $196 of the breakdown That's driving That's Yeah That's not

That's Not flying And then outfits and accessories 160 so a total of 981 that's low right you i think i think your number would be off then i think it'd be closer to two grand because that's kind of what i spend when i go to a wedding and i don't ever buy new clothes for weddings yeah yeah but you've got to get some you know a fresh tie maybe a fresh shirt yeah you gotta get it you gotta get a fresh tie, maybe a fresh shirt. Yeah, you've got to get a fresh shirt

because last time you spilled some stuff on it you didn't wash because it was kind of stung. You've got to get your shoes to the cobbler, get the heel re-do. Yeah.

You've got to go to the cobbler. Oh, I got out my black suit yesterday and you know how women wear all that make-up? Oh, my God. Not me though. How annoying is it

when you get a shoulder of bloody make-up because you gave someone a hug? Yeah. And then sometimes they'll go on and they'll be like, oh, and then there's a lady that's like, oh, and you're like, oh, I'm getting a weird hug, and she's like, I just don't want to get make-up on your suit.

And you're like, thank you. And then you look down, but she'd all done her, what is this called again? Declatage. Declatage with that smearing of paint, war paint as well. And it's all over you as well. Got a tan rubbing off on you. But yeah, I mean, it adds up, doesn't it?

And that's why a lot of people will say your presence is gift enough. Have you ever been invited to a wedding and said no? I don't. Yeah, I have. Have you? I don't think, oh, destination. Yeah, destination. One destination wedding.

I said no to because it was just like, I know where you've had that there. It's because you don't really want everybody to go. Yeah, but then you can't get angry when you don't turn up. No, no, no. Because your presence is gift enough. Would be gift enough. Yeah. Would be gift enough.

As the saying goes. That's right. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is why plumbers are called plumbers. Plumbers. Plumbers.

So plumbers, you don't always't say the B do you? Plumber No But Plum Hold on Plum You also don't say the B But it is there

If something is plum Yeah Because the word comes from Latin for the word lead Which is plumbum Plumbum Which is what all the pipes used to be made out of. Yes.

And if you worked with lead pipes, if you worked with the pipes, you were called, you dealt with plumbum. Because that's Latin for lead. Which is why lead on a periodic scale is represented with PB. It is. Oh, okay. But I didn't know that. I didn't get a private school education.

It was plumbum. Oh, I'm sorry. I spent an ungodly amount of time last night trying to work out if the B in plumbum was pronounced or silent as it is in plumbers. What would it be if it was silent? Plumbum. Plumbum, which sounds more like a scientific term. Yeah.

But plumbum doesn't sound particularly... It sounds like you've got a nice, like nice big, round, juicy plumbum. You've got a jumper on you. You've been working on your plumbum. If you're plumb, you're flat. You're in line. Ah, so you're saying not big, juicy like a plumb, but flat. Like you've got no ass.

So that also, that term of something that was plumb is also related to plumbum. Because they used to put a bit of lead at the end of a bit of string and it would hold it straight down and that was how you worked out if something was level because it would pull it down, you know, in the best way possible. Right. So it would be straight down from where it was.

So something was plumb. Hmm. Hmm. So they would call you, if you worked with plumbum, they would call you plumbers. And that's why plumbers are called plumbers because of the lead pipes that were originally used. From now on, I'm going to call plumbers plumbums.

Plumbums. How's the plumbum were originally used. Now on, I'm going to call plumbers plumbums. Plumbums. How's the plumbum industry? Yes. You could say. Yes. And they've got little plumbums, don't they? Because when they're under your sink and their pants go down and their shirt rides up, you see the top of their little plumbum. Your little plumbum.

They're hairy. More of a peach. Okay. More of a hairy little peach. A fuzzy. Yeah, quite fuzzy. Fuzzy bum. Well, it depends if they've had laser.

They should get laser. It's simple. You never have to shave that plum. I mean, I am. Fuzzy bum. Well, it depends if they've had laser. They should get laser. It's simple. You never have to shave that plum. I mean, I am, in my mind, I wasn't imagining too many plumbers have laser and how out of date of me. Yeah, no, exactly. Plumbers can get their bums lasered.

Absolutely, they can. Although, I tell you what, that'll make your shorty shorts slip down. It will get less grip, less hair to grip onto. But, you know, if the lady who you're fixing the plumbing for sees a nicely lizard,

she might be like, there's a man who takes serum stuff. Or man, plumbers can be gay it turns out. Amazing. They can laser their

ass and they can be homosexuals. What next? They can also be women. Heaven for that. Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's slow right down on that. But you've got a great point. Yes. They can also be women. plumbers worked with lead pipes. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Harry has been forced to address a rumor that he has a secret hotel room,

which is near his home in California, where he can just pop away for just some alone time. Just him. Alone time. Just him. But a PS5. Do you reckon he's got a PS5? He's got a PS5, or maybe he just wants to lie on the bed,

watch some telly. You can't do that when you've got two young kids, though, because that's unfair that somebody else would be his wife in this case. He'd be picking up a lot of slack on that. You can't just abandon your family. But, you know, maybe if you don't have kids and you just need some sneaky alone time, absolutely. But also being sneaky about alone time

also makes it look a whole lot worse than it possibly is. Yeah, whereas he's just literally going to a hotel just to be alone. A lot of people would go to a hotel to rendezvous with someone else. Rendezvous, yes. And then you've got a whole lot of explanation, whereas if you're honest about having some time, not apart, but alone, then, you know, you're being honest about it. Yes, and that is the question we wanted to ask this morning is,

do you ever have sneaky alone time? Because it's sneaky, yes, but it's just you. You're not cheating. No. You're just maybe in this case getting a hotel room just so you can have a nice sleep alone. Talking about tagging half an hour onto like a supermarket shop. Yep.

You go before because if you go afterwards, the milk's going to get warm in the car. So you go before the supermarket shop. Do whatever alone time thing you want to do and then do the supermarket shop. And it could just be sitting under a tree. Couldn't it be enjoying the quiet? Do you know a lot of people will do the sneaky takeaways on the way home?

Oh, yeah. Because they don't want to do the diet that is... But then you've got to go somewhere for the alone time. Do you know, speaking slightly off topic, but it made me think about it there with the sneaking, I have got these air tags. Yeah. And I took Sade's car yesterday and she had my car

and one of my things on my car is the air tag. She got a notification in the afternoon saying, you may be being tracked. Yeah, I know. And it'll be beeping while she's driving along. She said she never heard the beeping. Because I said, was it beeping? And she's like, I didn't hear any beeping.

Oh, wow. Okay, yeah. And I was like, oh, my God. Because if I borrow my friend's car, he's got an ear tag in his in case someone steals it. Yeah. And, yeah, I'll just hear a bit of bit of every now and again. And then, yeah, I'll get the same. It'll be like, you've been followed and it'll show you on the map.

Yeah, where you were. And you're just like, ooh. Where it started tracking you you've been followed, and it'll show you on the map. Yeah, where you were, or where it started tracking you, and where you started moving and stuff. Which is great. But then imagine, like, or even having tracked your partner on the phone. And you open it up, they said, oh, I'm going to the supermarket, and you open it up, and they're just at a park. Just having some alone time.

You're like, hmm, what's going on here? Well, do you ever do this? Do you ever have sneaky alone time from your partner? Maybe it's half an hour, or it's a little white lie works running a bit later, but it's just you at a park or parked up eating some fast food because you want to treat yourself or having a sleep in a hotel. Yeah, say I'm going to the gym and it just happens to be above a fast food restaurant and you just have some quiet

time in the booth, you know. 0800 dial ZM, we want you to give us a call. You can text as well, 9696. What's your sneaky alone time? How are you doing it? And what are you doing? Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM.

Well, Prince Harry rumoured to have a secret hotel where he just has some alone time. Just away from paparazzi, the family. And we want to know this morning if you have any secret alone time. And wow, it might not even be much alone time, but it's just what people need. So many people.

And just the tiniest amounts of alone time can completely change their weeks. Dita, what's your secret alone time? Hi, yeah. So me and my husband have triplets. Sorry to hear. So we both really need alone time. But I don't think my husband takes any because every time I ask him to get something from the supermarket, he comes back really quickly. So every time now we

need something, I always say, hey, I'll go get it. And I feel really bad, but I always go and stop and have an ice cream at McDonald's and sit in my car for like 20 minutes. Show sponsor, fantastic. Do you want a bit more time up your sleeve? I'll help you out because we've had so many text messages of people who do this. They do all the groceries online, click and collect, so they know exactly the time they can go and collect them.

Then they say they're going to go do the groceries and they say they're doing it the old-fashioned way, which of course takes a lot more time. Pick up's 11, leave the house at 10, have a whole sweet hour to themselves before they have to be there at 11 to pick up the groceries. Wow, that's amazing.

Dare I say it, that's enough time for two ice creams from McDonald's. Yeah, and so many people have messaged that in. So many people. And they said it's absolutely required. It's just a little alone time. Yeah, Sarah, you take a sneaky annual leave day. Yeah, I do.

So I've been doing that since the kids were quite young. My daughter's 13 now. I just pretend that it was the same sort of day. I drop them off at school, tell them to have a great day, pretend I was going to work. But I'll take myself to the movies. I'll go and treat myself to lunch, and then I'll pick them up as if nothing's happened, and they'll ask me how my day was,

and I'll say, it was great. Work was really busy today. I love that, and it's just what you need to recharge. And it's not much. Correct. Yeah, and I do it probably four times a year, sort of I try and do once a quarter. That's so good. That's good for you.

Just enough to stop a mentee bee as well. Yeah. Just at that right time. Let's get the mentee bee a day. Sarah, thanks. So many messages coming in. So many. You're alone time. How do you get it?

How do you squeeze it in? Is it sneaky or is it honest? The sneaky ones are the better stories, though. Yeah. My alone time is going for a run in the bush over summer But really I'd run as quick as I can And sit under a fern by the river and watch a Netflix series for about an hour And then when it had finished I'd run back as quick as I could

So I was sweaty and puffed by the time I got there Someone said, just sometimes just saying I need to go to the toilet And taking a very long fake poo is my alone time. Why can't people just say to their partner, hey, I just need an hour without you? Yeah, or the kids. I need you to look after the kids. You'd be like, okay, sure, just go take an hour or two. And then in turn they get an hour or some other time.

Yeah. We've got two young kids and I'd sometimes go and do the supermarket shopping. And I'd often just buy myself a couple of chicken tenders and sit in the car once I'd finished and save the moment of eating them in peace without someone being like, what's that? Can I have a bite? Can I have a bite? Can I have a bite? Oh, kids are horrible, aren't they? It's just my life every day, by the way, everybody. Yeah, I know. Everything everybody's describing is what Fletch does.

Every day. Yeah, and it's bliss. It's bliss. When our children were young, I thought, huh, if I found God, I would have Sunday mornings out of the house every Sunday. No questions asked. So I found God for a little while. And my partner and family thought I was going to church, but I wasn't. I was just going having brunch at the garden centre.

Oh, so thank God. So she found thank God. Yeah, she found God Benedict. And that is a beautiful take on your traditional eggs Benedict. Yes. Someone said

our alone time is without the kids. My husband and I always say we're going to do something together we'll palm the kids off to the grandparents and then just end up

sitting at opposite ends of our house doing nothing for the weekend but at the end of it we're always like what a wonderful weekend. Yeah again that's what

it's like when you don't have kids. Yeah you can go to any end of the house. I like what a wonderful weekend yeah again that's what it's like when you don't have kids yeah you can go to any end of the house I like this bit all the time it's great yeah but the groceries

Well, should we speak in reverse and hopefully they'll work out
