The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Thank you, Brayden. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Two minutes past six.

G'day, gorgeous. Sup, beautiful. Yeah, g'day, babe. G'day, gorgeous. G'day gorgeous Sup beautiful Yeah G'day babe G'day gorgeous G'day gorgeous I kinda liked it It had the right tone to it

Didn't it Have you got to that age Where you're starting to call people gorgeous G'day sweet heart Champ mate Yeah Oh 100% But I haven't smoked enough durries

To drop it down to that G'day gorgeous G'day gorgeous That slightly predatory Rasp in the voice I don't know I liked it G'day beautiful How are you beautiful Now the voice. I don't know, I liked it. G'day, beautiful. How are you, beautiful?

Now, the top six coming up. You'd like that. What a news. You'd like that if the top six was coming up. Weight off your shoulders. It is. Put your feet up. The news on the Commonwealth Games.

Well, Melbourne was supposed to host them, right? And then they were like, we don't want to. We're poor. Help us. We're poor. So Glasgow were like, aye don't want to. We're poor. Help us. We're poor. So Glasgow were like, aye, we'll do it.

And so, great, great, great Scottish accent. Aye, we'll do it. Aye, we'll do it. So. And Melbourne had to pay loads of money, right? They had to pay them like a default fee, effectively. It's so weird that they couldn't afford to do it, but then they had to pay a bunch of money

not to do it. Yeah. Feels like wasteful spending. Already like held games in Melbourne. They could have just used all the old venues. Not that long ago, right?

No, it wasn't that long ago. Weird. And so they're going to Glasgow but Glasgow are like we're cutting it back. We're having a trimming it.

Sort of a a light Commonwealth Games. But then people are like are we ever going Sort of a light Commonwealth Games. But then people are like, are we ever going to get a full Commonwealth Games again? Because it's going to be appealing to cities that they get to host a Commonwealth Games without having to pay for hockey stadiums and stuff

because that's one of the sports that's not going to be at the Commonwealth Games. But they're getting rid of all the sports that all the Commonwealth countries love, like rugby, cricket, hockey. It's so weird. Get rid of weird stuff. India's going to be out of the Commonwealth.

Really? There's no cricket? Hockey and cricket? India will be like, sweet, we're not coming. Yeah, yeah. Those are our two faves. It's not even worth the flight.

What do you guys don't want us to win any sweet medals? India, goddammit. We gave the world delicious takeaways of naan bread. That's right, your favourite bread. Suck it.

Yeah. You'd take a naan over a bloody slice, wouldn't you? I'm like, why don't we just rejouge the Commonwealth Games from the ground up? Okay. And I've got the only six sports that should be the entire Commonwealth Games. Okay. Oh, right, just the entire games. I have...

Six sports only. I have curate, curate, curate them. Curate it. Yep, that one. A list of six sports that encompass every part of athleticism. It's coming up in the top six. Also, don't forget at eight this morning, your

chance to get in the draw to get to New York to the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball. An amazing lineup. Five days in New York. What a city. Do we get to go? No. No. You don't, York. Oh, what a city. Do we get to go? No. No.

You don't, Hayley. I've never been. Next on the show, though, a harrowing warning from social media about some certain items available for purchase on Shein. Play ZM's Flashborn and Hayley. Now, you know Shein, it's usually where you buy some lovely cheap clothes made by a small child. I've never purchased anything off Sheehan. Timu and AliExpress, yes.

Yes. I've never purchased clothes for myself. Sheehan was definitely started exclusively as clothing, like really cheaply made clothing, often ripping off designers and whatnot. And haven't there been like legal, there's been the legal issue, right? Because a lot of artists are like, hey, I actually created that.

You can't just like mass reproduce it. And then they started doing like beauty things. And now they're a little bit, they've got a little bit AliExpress on it and you can buy like weird things for the home and da, da, da the home on Shein. Now, people are flocking, flooding

social media, warning against buying a particular type of thing on Shein. Adult fun toys. Some people have ended up in hospital from using these Shein cheaply made

fun toys Ma'am I've got a question Yes my darling The Shein fun toys would they just be like straight from the factory that other fun toys would be coming from? That was what I was going to say Most fun toys are made in

China or factories of the ilk Well the issue, there's a number of issues with them. Some people have ended up in hospital from getting electric shocks from these toys. Okay. Are people not into that? No.

Not unless that's what you were. Just for the record, for your own records, ladies and gentlemen. I don't mind a little electric shock. Really? Right, but down there? Yeah, everywhere. Okay, right anywhere. Right in the... Well, you know,

I bought off AliExpress the jumper cables that connect to your car battery on one end and nipple clamps on the other. Yeah, the nipples may be a shock. Yeah, they're quite long too

because you'd be like, your nipples are long. Making love with it. No, the cables. I would think of... I would call your nipples long. No, no, my nipples are... No, not long.

The cables are long so I can run them from the garage to the house. Well, you've got nipples are, no. Not long, the cables are long. So I can run them from the garage to the house. Well, you've got to be able to get them from the car to the couch. Yeah, exactly. When you're not doing it on the couch. I've got children. Well, I just assumed you were using this when they weren't home. How harrowing for your child to walk in

and dad's got a cable running from the front door to his nipples. You know, our house, we've got that window above our bedroom, so in my mind they went up, out the window, through the garage door to the garage. Just for those listening, this is not something you do. Not yet. Don't speak on his behalf. Now that you've put the idea in my head though, Fletch,

you filthy beggar. What? You did. You said, get some nipple clamps, I collect them from your car battery. I said nothing of the sort. Rewind the tape! Replay.

Now, do you know what one of the issues is? And people have filmed themselves doing this, is when it comes to, especially if you have a vagina, a virgin, the material it's made out of is very important. Silicon, right? We always go silicone. Safe. Easy to wash.

Easy to wash. Easy to wash. Hygienic. Good for muffins. Great for the muffs in the muffin. You know, you must have a silicon muffin tray. Yeah. Ice everything. So here's the thing.

Why are they good for muffins? Because they don't melt. So people have been doing the flame test and getting their Shein Adult Fun toys and lighting them. Now, if this is silicon, it should not melt. No. So you could do that to Wait, flame will melt silicon but like ambient heat won't

melt silicon. No, this is dripping like plastic. But I reckon the muffin tray would too if you held it over fire. No, this is like straight up. I've got one I don't like, I'm willing to test it. Okay, right. Have you got it now? No, not yet. I don't think we'll return to this tomorrow. You don't think. I'm willing to test it. Okay, right. Have you got it now? No, not yet. I don't think we'll return to this tomorrow.

You don't think we're going to return to this? No. I mean, yeah. I mean, your sex toy shouldn't be flammable, should it? Your adult fun toy. No, but they are like melting. People are getting shocks. People are saying these things are radioactive.

One of them said that they're... How are they radioactive? That it was heating up and not in a fun way. Oh, okay. Right. Yeah. Like, these things are... They're cheap. They're nasty. Too cheaply made. I think you need to invest highly. I mean, you get what you pay for. Exactly. But at the same

time, there's a bargain to be found. Yeah. You know what I mean. I'd say the... Were you gonna ask me how much I've paid for one before? I know. I didn't ask you. Oh, sorry. I thought. I'd say the were you going to ask me how much I've paid for one before? I know I didn't ask that. Oh sorry I thought you were going to

say how much. It always blew my mind how cheap the Satisfyer Pro 2 was. Yeah that's cheap. Do you know the most expensive one

is like 380 bucks. That you've purchased? Uh huh. What are you eating a music bar for? Because now I'm

trying to distract myself thinking about my $380 fun toy. $380? Crazy eh? Is it, is it,

because what was the Satisfied Pro Tour? $70? Yeah. Is it that much better? Is it five times better? It's just different. Right.

It's just different. We're going too deep into this, by the way. I'm trying to get bang for buck, you know? Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, last night, somebody in Auckland won $30.2 million in Powerball.

Yeah, they did. And Hayley and I, Vaughn, before you got to work today, I said, who won Lotto? And Hayley's like, it's been won in Auckland. I know. Carwen and Dylan told me when I came in. And I was like, oh, my god. And then we were like was it bought on the app? Because you went app based, Flesh?

I went app based. I went ticket. Nice. Oh this week I went ticket. Well where did you get your ticket? The Albany Central Super 8. Why? Vaughan. Don't do this to us Vaughan. You did not get your ticket in Albany. Vaughan, I feel dizzy.

You did not get your ticket in Albany. Yeah, I did. I always go through there. That's the back way from my place to... It is very close to where I live, to be fair. And I have bought definitely a lot of tickets in Albany. Do you know what's going to really annoy me? What?

Coatesville's just down the road. Coatesville. Oh, and it could be someone that's really rural. Very wealthy. Like the Crisco Christmas mansions down there. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm sure it's got another name now,

the Zuru Mansion or whatever. But Coatesville's full of very well-to-do people. And that's where they'll get their lottery ticket from. Oh, you reckon that some, okay. But it's also not too far from Parimarima Prison. Right. So there might be a hard-working prison guard. Oh, yeah.

A prisoner got loose. I'm yeah. A prisoner got loose. I'm like, a prisoner got loose? Even better story. And their first point of call was buying a lotto ticket. Prisoner got loose, went to the local super rep, bought a lotto ticket and was like, no, I'll return myself back in. Yeah. And now they've got $30.2 million.

And we know rich people don't go to jail, so now they're going to get out. But there was a moment where Hayley and I were like, well, we've got to check the app. But it's too early. It didn't start till six. But then you always look it up to say, where was it sold if it was on the app?

I really thought it was us. What are the other, did someone win like First Division and stuff? So the person that won the 30 million also won the First Division, 200,000. Oh, but 200,000 tells me First Division was then split five ways. Four other lotto players. $200,000. Oh, but $200,000 tells me First Division was then split five ways. Four other lotto players won $200,000.

Well, I've got the story right here. Those winning tickets, Whangarei, Auckland, Christchurch and Canterbury, my lotto ticket players. Oh, they're online? You could have won $200,000. You might have won $200,000, Hayley, but again, that's not enough to leave us, is it,

and move overseas. It's not enough to leave you. It's also not enough. Now, I need to be clear here that we always have a little deal when Lotto gets big that we're going to help each other out. But with $200,000. What are we getting? What am I getting?

That is a drop in the ocean for me. Breakfast. Breakfast. I'll shout you a bleep coffee, a McCafe coffee. Wow. Thank you. Honestly, I, yeah. I mean, congratulations. Oh my

God, I know, yeah. Wouldn't that just absolutely change your life? Nah. Nah, I'd be the same person. I'd be the same person. Yeah, of course you would. You wouldn't even know. I'd like to think I'd stay the same. We would never see you again, Horton. You certainly would not. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

There is a relationship and sex expert, Tracy Cox. Great name. For a sex expert? It meant to be, wasn't it? Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Some of the stars aligned on that one. Korea.

She was doing a lot of work with Timothy Vagina. Yeah. And they were kind of covering both, weren't they? Yeah, they were. Do you reckon anyone's got their last name? You have a little luck. In the newspaper this morning. There's a league player called Harry Potter.

Yes, there is. I was like, wait, there's a league player called Harry Potter. I was like, no one is going to take you seriously. You've got to go by Haz, right? Yeah, Haz. You'd be like, everyone just call me Haz Potter. Or Potts. Or Haz Potts.

English Potts. And he's English Potter as well. And you know, if he's playing League, he's what? But is Harry Potter that old that his parents... Harry Potter came out in 1997,

the first Harry Potter book. So his parents named him Harry because... Like surely. His last name's Potter. Maybe it was a family name and they were like, well, I don't think

these books are going to take off. Yeah, they had a feeling that the author was a TERF and they were like, no, they don't think these books are going to take off. Yeah, they had a feeling that the author was a TERF and they were like, no, they won't go far. It won't happen. Well, Tracy Cox, the sex expert, has shared some of the main motivations that she's encountered. Vagina is

a real surname. Oh my god. In Russia I know three people whose surname is vagina. And the word does stand for vagina, but they put an accent on the last A so it doesn't sound like a vagina. An accent? Vagina. Vagina. And the word does stand for vagina, but they put an accent on the last A, so it doesn't sound like a vagina. An accent. Vagina. Vagina.

Oh, great. What a great last name. It's not Scandinavian. God, I'd love to marry into that family just to be Hayley Jane Vagina. 96. 96. Would you hyphenate Sproul Vagina or Vagina Sproul?

Hayley Jane Vagina Sproul. Hayley Jane vagina Sproul. It's got a great ring to it. It's got a great ring to it. I'm destined for stardom if I've got a name like Hayley Jane vagina Sproul. It's really great. Those movie roles will start coming in. Vagina Sproul sounds like something you need to go to the doctor for. Yeah. Oh, my God.

I've got a terrible vagina Sproul at the moment. Yeah, yeah. You know, it's hot again, so I'm starting to get my vagina Sproul. Stop it. Don't turn my name into a disease. Anyway. The most families, the decade where it was most popular in the US for the family name vagina was 1920s.

In 1880, there was one vagina family living in Colorado, and that is 100% of all the recorded vaginas in the United States. So you're telling me that people didn't want this name and it's died out and be replaced with another vagina. Okay, so in 1880, it was just in Colorado. Then in 1920, we've got sightings of vagina in New Mexico, California. Have you just joined us?

Okay, if you've just joined us, it is a last name. In New York. Yeah, not if there's just sightings of vagina. It's a last name. Okay. Okay, back you've just joined us, it is a last name. In New York. Yeah, not if there's just sightings in general in vagina. It's a last name. Okay. Okay, back to me. Back to Miss Cox, the sex expert. Has shared the six reasons why women in particular cheat.

Okay. Or commit infidelity. Like, cheating's 50-50, right? But men, it's always like, oh, men are the cheaters. I don't know if it's 50-50. Maybe. Probably. Oh, shall I Google?

You Google that. You're Googling vagina. I know. Well, I stopped now. Infidelity. 50-50 split between the two conventional genders. Who cheats more? Who cheats more?

20% of men and 13% of women reported they've had sex with someone other than their partner whilst in a relationship. 20%? That seems to be 20% of men have done it and 13% of women reported they've had sex with someone other than their partner whilst in a relationship. That seems to be 20% of men have done it and 13% of women have done it. Oh, yeah. So still women a little bit less. Yeah. We're learning to be the players. Okay, here are the six reasons she's given.

We know gender equality and all. Yeah, exactly. We're feminists on this show. Yeah. 100%. There shouldn't be a pay gap and an affair gap. Exactly. Women, get out there and cheat. That's the message of

the show today. You get out there. You deserve an affair. Okay, feeling neglected emotionally. I mean, that's sort of an obvious one. You're lacking what you need from your partner and so you go out and search for something. That's a common reason. Getting back at your partner is the next one she shared. So basically you're going, you cheated, I cheat.

Right. Which I feel like is not great behaviour. I feel like it's going to fix absolutely nothing. I don't think it's going to make things harmonious in the relationship. Yeah, I don't think it's going to actually fix the problem here. But when they feel wronged, they want to be wrong. The key there is just to cheat with someone way hotter than the other person cheated on. Oh, yeah.

So if your partner cheated on you with an eight, you've got to find a nine. Yeah, at least. And they'll find a 10 and then you've got to find an 11. And then it keeps going. There's only a few of those in the world. Reclaiming power is an interesting one. A power imbalance in a relationship.

So they're doing really well. Excuse me. Maybe earning a lot of money. Things are going their way. Maybe not so much your way. So you're being like, well, here's something I earning a lot of money, things are going their way, maybe not so much your way, so you're being like, well, here's something I can do to make me more powerful. Oh, my God.

Yeah, it feels toxic. Now, I'm not a therapist, and I'm happy to run this past my therapist today. Okay. On my dime. Okay, yeah. To see if this is toxic or not. But it doesn't feel like a great way of getting power.

Charge it back. Yeah, charge it back. You keep a receipt. For a way of getting power. Charge her back. You keep her a seat. For a portion of my session. What does she do? Charge by the 15th minute or hour? Hour. The company will pay for the whole hour. I've got authority to sign off on that.

I don't know if you do. Seeking sexual satisfaction. I mean that's an obvious one. These are the reasons women cheat women in particular yeah okay not the top six

that's a thing that's a vorn thing that's coming up soon that's a vorn thing yeah that's a vorn thing but just six reasons the most common reasons why Miss Cox

the sex expert has said that women cheat just not being sexually satisfied you know that's just womanhood isn't it stress relief is the next one

no comment no comment stress what would it? Stress relief is the next one. No comment. No comment. What would you know? Stress release is the next one. These are the last two that I found quite funny. Stress relief. We're just a bit stressed. We're a bit stressed out.

So we go and cheat. We're juggling careers, motherhood, work, other responsibilities, as well as probably, you know, helping raise the person that we're in a house with. Oh, you've got the hiccups, darling. Oh, darling. Oh, baby. Have a drink of water, darling. Upside down. Water upside down. And the last one, and this is the one that made me laugh the most, we're bored.

Boredom. We're just bored with life. We're bored with everything and everyone and maybe we're bored with our partner and so we're just like, God, how can I spice things up in my own brain? We're just bored. So there you go. Those are the reasons why

your woman is probably cheating on you right now. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. I actually think this could be Hayley Sproul's Scandal Cow. Wow. Okay.

Your entertainment segment. Slip that up there. Now, maybe not a scandal, but a bit of goss is that Britney Spears is actively working on your music.

Britney damn Spears. Don't cringe. That was an involuntary reaction. Your jaw went like that. I actually listened to a little bit of Britney this morning. That was an involuntary reaction. You were jawing like that. I actually listened to a little bit of Britney this morning. I was listening. Classic or?

Classic. Oh, baby, baby. Oh, I didn't know. I was listening to it and I love it. I've got her on a number of playlists. The hits. Yeah. Crazy.

Hit me, baby, one more time. Oops, I did it again. Like, she's an icon. Her music is amazing. And then she's gone through a terrible time. We all know this. Yeah.

Then she wrote a book which I read. She's not well, is she? Well, you know, this week she married herself. I'll say it again. Look, she's not well, is she? It's a Shortland Street storyline.

Yeah, it really is. It was. To get some kind of loophole in some student loan. No, it was Nicole playing our good Street storyline. Yeah, it really is. It was. To get some kind of loophole in some student loan. No, it was Nicole. About a good friend, Sally. Yeah. And the scriptwriters, I don't know, must have been angry at her.

So they made her marry herself. Yeah. But she was showing that she's the most important person to herself and she had to learn to love herself before she could love anyone else again. What a lovely message. The message was there, but it's still a little kooky, isn't it? It is, yeah. Well, Britney, she was standing in her usual

big ghastly looking house with a white sort of gown on and a white veil over her head and she's like, I married myself. Anyway, rumours are that she is working on new music and insider claims.

Now, when I read that sentence, I'm taking this with a grain of salt. But I always get excited because you know she did Hold Me Closer with Elton John and that ruled. I loved that. I thought it was a cool collab. She wasn't on it enough though. She wasn't on it enough and her voice was heavily affected. And then, and I want to play it, let's remember about a year ago, I got super excited because she was dropping a song with Will.i.am

and then this dropped, which, you know, felt... That's not it. What is it? No, where's the... Oh, it's playing a different song. I'm playing, play this one. Nan's it's playing a different song. How do I... I'm playing... Play this one. Nan's just...

Nan's just... Going to sell for streaming service. How do I... Have you just used this for the first... Press the HDMI button, Nan. It might say TV AV. Press that. Hang on.

Press that once. No, but look. Oh, here it is. How are you messing this up? I've messed it up so badly. Now, remember, they dropped this song. Okay, they dropped this. Is this for everyone I am?

Yeah. Listen, it's so bad. Now, there's a reason that we here at ZM didn't play this. Because it's so bad. Yeah. They released It's so bad. Is this the first time

they've worked together? I just googled it. I thought they had a song back in the day. They did. But this was one that she did 2023.

And I was like it's so bad. Yeah okay. Who's she working with? Well, apparently, according to sources, she has been working on music that is going to be included in a soundtrack of her upcoming biopic

that people are working on at the moment. She's going to re-record some of her old tracks to fit the film's vibe and then re-work, do new music for the film as well. She's going to re-record some of her old tracks to fit the film's vibe and then rework, do new music for the film as well. Who's playing Britney? I don't know. This is,

I don't know this information. Oh, sorry. I just am reading about the music. But she's on board with it. She's on board with it because she wrote the book The Woman and Me

and then people are like, we have to make that into a biopic. Into a movie. And she was like, okay, that's fine. Universal's working on it. Apparently, oh, the director.

I hope they're not spending too much money on it. John M. Chu, who directed Crazy Rich Asians. Oh, yeah, okay. Has been working on it. Officially, that's a word from Universal as well. Right. So she's been putting herself into it. The options, the rumours were Sydney Sweeney plays Britney Spears.

Yeah, I can see that. Millie Bobby Brown. No. Oh see that. Millie Bobby Brown. No. Oh, no. Millie Bobby Brown has proposed to play her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears. Jamie Lynn. See, my problem is, and Sandra Bullock, her mum,

my problem is we've already blown the budget. We're never making the money back. This has got to be made as cheap as possible. You can't afford A-listers. People will watch this. They're not going to go and see this trash. 100% they will. They'll blow all the money on

Sandra Bullock if she's the mum. She's not cheap. Sandy would play a great mum. She'd be great. Alec Baldwin is the dad. Lily Puppey Brown and Sidney Sweeney ain't coming cheap these days. Alec Baldwin playing the villain because the dad's the villain in Britney's story. Yeah. Anyway, look,

people have been screaming for her to make new music. People will watch this movie. 100%. Yeah. Look, my generation, we're obsessed with Britney. She's a queen. She's a princess. She can do no wrong.

She can marry herself and she can release a song as trash as this and we'll still support her. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there, Glasgow. The heroes of Scotland have put their hand up and said, all right, Melbourne, we'll take your, not sloppy seconds, but half-organised shit games that you backed out of way too close.

Have you guys been to Glasgow? Yes. So cool. It is cool. Rad city. Rad city. Yeah. Yes.

Very cool. Glasgow is very cool people. Yes. That was the first place cool. Rad city. Rad city. Yeah. Yes. Very cool. Glaswegians, very cool people. Yes. That was the first place I, when we arrived there the first night at the pub, we went to Haggis, Neeps and Tatey's was on the menu and it was one of the nicest meals of the I don't like Haggis. I love it. I've really tried.

I love it. It's a no from me. Yeah. I just went to McDonald's for a quarter pounder that night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I was trying the local Scottish cuisine. Yeah, well, it is Mac. Mac, isn't it?

It's Mac, yeah. I love having nonnies around the world, to be fair, though. I know. It's like all the nonnies. Nonnies in a different place. One of the best cheeseburgers I ever had was in Rome. I get it. Go have a pizza, go have a pasta.

No. Have a little nonnies. Yeah. I've been to the Coliseum. I want a post-Coliseum nonnies. Or haggis, because you're in the country and try the local cuisine. Yeah, absolutely. I have a haggis and then I'll have a six-pack of chicken nuggets.

See what their cheeseburger's like. I have some haggis with some sweet and sour sauce. Badminton, table tennis, squash, hockey, rugby, netball. No, is netball still in? Netball's still in. Okay. Netball's still in. The. Netball's still in. The coach was on the news last night.

I was like, I wouldn't mess with her. I'd leave it in. Yeah. The hockey guy was like, this is very disappointing. But the cricket's gone. Cricket's gone. Cricket's gone. Squash is gone.

Rugby's gone. They're getting rid of all of these games. Badminton, wrestling, table tennis, diving's gone. What? Beach goddamn volleyball's gone. We love the diving. We love the diving. We love the diving. And we love the beach volleyball.

Mountain biking. Squash. Rhythmic gymnastics. What? Shooting. Is there going to be anything left? They've literally said emissions will be a huge blow to India's medal credentials at the Glaze Go. Because we were saying before that you're taking all of India's best sports out.

But they're also the sports that people love to watch. And I say, again, we return to the beach volleyball and the diving, and also the rhythmic gymnastics. And Commonwealth countries love rugby and cricket and hockey. It's ridiculous. These are the ones that will remain. Athletics and para-athletics, swimming and para-swimming, artistic gymnastics, so rhythm out the door, artistic in,

track cycling, para-cy cycling, both on the track. Netball, weightlifting, and para power lifting. That's hard to say. Well, obviously there's going to be a para of everything you're saying, right? No, because there's no para boxing. Judo, bowls, and para bowls. So bowls is in and rugby's out. Are you kidding me?

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Vaughan just popped out just to have some time on his own. So what are you doing? I went wheeze. I was busting for a wheeze. You went wheeze halfway through a short song.

Well, that's Sabrina Carpenter's fault. I think that's your fault. I think we can quite squirrelly pin that on you, Vaughan. I'm back. I'm back, and that's the most important thing. I suggested that we had a small port-a-loo in the studio, and that was poo-pooed. Okay?

I didn't dilly-dally either. And you know I've got strong strain, Fletch. You've heard it. Does he have a strong strain? That's so good. Well done. Thanks. How's Fletch's strain?

It's average. This guy poops real quick, wheeze real slow. I wee real quick, poo real slow. No one wheeze quicker than me. She's super quick for a female. You're going to the bathroom

the same time as me. Hayley, she'll beat you out. Yeah, you're quick. Are you wiping? No, you're not. Anyway, anyway. None of your business. We do agree.

I hate that we know this about each other. I know. We do agree. God, when's Christmas? We need four weeks apart. None of your business. We do agree. I hate that we know this about each other. I know. We do agree. God, when's Christmas? We need four weeks apart. We're close friends. And I think you can really hear that on air. Yeah.

Okay. Student accommodation numbers are already showing that next year it's going to be entirely full and there's going to be a whole lot of first year students without secured halls of residence accommodation. Is this a new thing? No. I remember, because being from Wellington, I remember this was a huge issue in Wellington like a number of years ago.

Yeah. Students could not find accommodation, and so then they were living way out, like Vic Uni students living out in Wainuiomata or like Upper Hutt and stuff or Porirua. Yeah, finding a place to board or something. Yeah, living with families and stuff. Or just randoms, yeah.

Because I never did halls of residence. Neither. I frequented them a bit. Moving between. But I always lived in flats, like houses. Never had a problem finding one. But I think it's really become an issue since I was at university. Not that long ago.

Well, this, again, not like last year. Five years? No, max. Five years ago? Sure. max. Five years ago? Sure. 2011 was five years ago. Well, I said I went to university in quote marks. Sorry, drama school.

In an old dental warehouse. So there wasn't like student accommodation. So I just had to go boarding first year. Who'd you board with? Oh, they hated me by the end of the year. Of course. They hated me so much by the end of the year. I didn't know you then, but I've heard the stories. The wife was tolerant. The husband hated me. Oh, they hated me by the end of the year. Of course. They hated me so much by the end of the year. I didn't know you then, but I've heard the stories.

The wife was tolerant, the husband hated me. Oh, really? Did you just find like a trade me listing for like a family that were like Dude, it was the year 2000, trade me no, it was like a paper in the paper or something. And they were just like a family that had a spirit of it. No, they were a young couple and they got married in

the first April. Wait, a young couple and the wife tolerated you but he didn't? Yeah. I think she had a little bit of a little crush on young Vaughn. Well, no,

she tolerated. He was not. But they just wanted you to pay their mortgage off. Like, you were helping out with the rent. I thought they were renting.

Oh, right. Yeah, it was just how to help with the rent. Why didn't they get an adult? Yeah. He didn't get an actual man. My first time out of home

it was just like, what, were you going to get some guy off a farm that's never lived with other people? Farm boy rat teenager. Yeah. And they had a dog and they'd like let it outside and then inside. And I wasn't used to inside dogs.

And it would run and like jump on my bed with dirty paws. And then I'd be like, what do I do? Do I make a thing out of this? Do I just, yeah. Anyhow, that was not fun looking back. But you know, you survive, makes you stronger. Maybe a better flatmate for the next year when we weren't flatting. But then you were also flatting, was that at university

or that was your first job when you were living in the conservatory? Hi, yeah, I've lived in some places. When he was at drama school, Aaron lived in a sunroom, like a conservatory. And then he moved out of that to live in a tool shed for $50 a week. Dude, when I lived in the conservatory, $30 a week. I'd live in the conservatory now

for $30 a week. Yeah. I think Aaron did a bit of gardening. But that conservatory now would be $2.50 a week. At least. Not including utilities. Yeah. They call it a sunroom. Well, we want to know where you've lived. Tool shed is good. How bad was the accommodation when you were a student

or you first moved out of house? In this article, it says straight out of uni the very determined kids want to do us kids, young adults, I do apologise very specific degrees that are only offered at certain universities

so there might be space for them in Palmerston North but they don't want to go there but then in saying that Palmerston North's got the vet school and so if they want to be a vet very specifically have to go there or you have to go to Canterbury and it's like what are you going to do do I need the added stress of like flatting for the first time

there's so many stories of people living in cupboards under stairs and you could ram a single mattress in there harry potter yeah man like yeah like the league player or harry potter the australian league player that's what you're referring no i was referring to the boy wizard but i will going forth i will always clarify for you i'm talking about the boy wizard because i know that you've found out there's an australian league player called harry potter and he's become your primary harry potter he's now my primary harry. That's so funny. He's now my primary Harry Potter.

But do you remember going like, definitely boys as well would put up with worse than girls. Like when I would hang out with friends that were at uni and I'd go to their flats and there's like no door on the toilet. And there's like,

it's just feral in there. There's no carpet. It's just underlay. Okay, so remembering, we want to know, 0800DARLS.M You can call us, text us 9696. How bad was

the student accommodation? Yeah, how bad did you slum it for those years? Give us a call. As a man whose daughter is about to start high school next year and this is like five years away, it's not as fun as this topic used to be when we talk about it.

We want to know how bad the student accommodation was because a lot of student accommodation for next year are already... Oh, well, thousands. Yeah. Thousand more applications than there are spots for students in first year. Yeah.

At official halls of residence and stuff. So a lot of people are going to be forced into dingy student accommodation. Or living in conservatories. The only thing I'm enjoying of these texts is how much they paid for these terrible places. I know.

Like next to nothing. I know. I thought my rent was cheap when I was at uni. It was 150 a week. You wouldn't find that now. Oh, no way. But some people just like...

Because that was like the 1950s. Some of it's basically a koha. You're like, beautiful, gold coin. I like a gold coin donation. She didn't even hear that. No, no. What?

What did you say? He said you went to uni in the 1950s. And that's why it's so sad. Which is insane because not even my parents would have been old enough to go in the 1950s. So I'm 19? They weren't even born. Yeah, so I feel like you might be 90.

Okay, booking another Botox. Alicia, how bad was the student accommodation? Is that me? Good morning. Good morning, Alicia. Good morning. I was, Alicia. Good morning. I was a Dunedin student. Okay.

And I left my run and finding a flat a bit late, me and my friends. Yeah. And we lived in a hotel for six weeks. How did you afford that? We worked at the hotel,

so there were three of us who stayed in a room together and the deal was that we were on call overnight. I think we paid a hundred bucks for six weeks. Whoa! And an electric walk.

And an electric walk. Dude, a briscoe's walk. Yeah. Mum would cook anything. A risotto. A big risotto. You've got to have an electric wok. But then, how...

We steamed mussels. I steamed mussels! I've been in the hotel room. I get the smell of that hotel room after three girls for six weeks steaming mussels every night. It smelled like a bloody paradise. Wow. And how often did you have to get up in the middle of the night to let someone in that had forgot their key? Hardly ever.

Less than once a week, probably. It was pretty good, to be fair. Yeah, what a sick deal. And then we moved into a real crap flat. Yeah, exactly. Into need. And I would have been like, can we just stay here? I'd live in a hotel room for $100 for six months.

When you were in, even though you were working there, did you get your room serviced? No, no. Okay, so you had to do your own sheets and stuff. No, that might be a bit cheeky. Yeah, that was a bit cheeky. Wait, how often did you get new sheets? Or did you just have the same sheets for six weeks? Oh, no, we could do that ourselves.

We knew where the laundry was. We could go and grab sheets and change our beds. Oh, jealous. Oh, my God, amazing. Did the hotel, because now I'm like, did the hotel have a gym? Did it have a pool? No, no, no. Okay, so it hotel have a gym? Did it have a pool? No, no, no. Okay, so it was quite basic.

No, it didn't. But it did sort of have a waterfall that ran down the lift shaft that wasn't supposed to be there. That's not cute. That doesn't, yeah, that doesn't sound like a water feature. What about a breakfast buffet? Was there a complimentary breakfast buffet? Oh, yeah.

They did have a breakfast buffet, but we were fending for ourselves. Oh, yeah. In the electric walk. We were doing scrambled eggs. Yeah, breakfast muscles, but we were fending for ourselves. Oh, yeah. In the electric walk. We were doing scrambled eggs. Yeah, breakfast muscles. Breakfast steamed muscles. Steamed muscles. In the Briscoe's walk.

Thank you, Alicia. Some messages in. How bad was the student accommodation? Speaking of water running down the elevator shaft, someone said, a friend lived in an old elevator shaft in an old industrial building in Wellington. Very oldie, very artsy. Oh, cool. How big is an elevator shaft, though?

We've seen inside the elevator shafts at work. Couldn't put it. It's like two and a half metres by two and a half metres. You would just live under where the lift stopped. No, thanks. No, no, because there was no lift in it, by the sounds of it. Yeah, but that's still gross to me. When we talk about having a high-stud ceiling.

Five-storey high-stud ceiling. Concrete bunker on Dundas Street in Dunedin. to man's when we talk about having a high stud ceiling five story high stud ceiling concrete bunker on Dundas Street in Dunedin the water would run down the walls on the inside in 1986

it cost me $15 a week that's nice $15 $15 in the 80s $15 and then after the share market crash in 87

all the investment bankers moved in with them yeah that is a really niche historical New Zealand financial reference. And for the three people that got it, I'm here all day. For everyone else, Google it. We just want to know where you lived.

How bad was it? Somebody said, I lived in a flat. When I moved in, it had a new plaster seal on the wall because someone had punched a hole in the wall before they moved out. Oh, yeah. Never dried the entire time I lived there. Oh, the plastic. It couldn't dry.

The plastic never dried every now and then I'd touch it and it would still just be soft to the touch. In an effort to reduce his rent and make some extra cash, a flatmate once moved out of his room into a makeshift room, in quotations, that he built in the crawl space above his old room. He'd hang his head down out of the ceiling and say,

G'day, good morning. Awesome for money saving. Ridiculously hot in summer. You're sleeping in the roof. Oh, yeah, you're sleeping in the ceiling space. Oh, my God. That would be suffocating in summer. I dated a guy where one of the rooms in his flat

was condemned due to black mould. So rather than deal with it, the landlord just put a padlock on the door, said no one's allowed to live in that room. Good old Castle Street. That flat of boys now are all surgeons. Oh, God. Wow.

That's the thing that freaks me out about Dunedin. It's one of our most prestigious universities. Yeah. Like, med, law, dentistry, all of these things, and people are just living in squalor. Yeah. Dampness is a common theme, eh? People saying, well, get into bed and the sheets would be damp.

That was my first one at uni. Oh, yeah, I've had that at flats, yeah. And you'd lie your head against the wall. You'd be like, what's that? You'd touch the wall and they were running. You'd be like, ugh. Late 80s, early 90s, we had one person living in a wardrobe because it was the size of a wardrobe,

and we had another person living in a pantry because it was a walk-in pantry. But then they wanted some privacy, so they nailed the pantry door shut and made themselves a new door in the wall that led to outside. Oh, man. You're not getting your bond back for making a new door. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I slept on a couch for a year, no rent, just utilities. Man, I bet they loved having you around. That person always on the couch. You can't go to sleep until everyone's gone to bed? Yeah. I just want to... Can I step up to the sidebar? Absolutely.

We've had a number of texts asking Vaughn not to call us pookies again. People are feeling uncomfortable. It was 20 minutes ago, pookie. Yeah, but pookie... I haven't said it again since. We've had a number of texts saying, Vaughn, bloody hell, please don't use pookies. Good morning, pookies.

I was talking to you and the listeners. They're saying absolutely not. You're all my pookies. I don't need to hear that on, bloody hell, please don't use Pookies. Good morning, Pookies. I was talking to you and the listeners. They're saying, absolutely not. You're all my Pookies. I don't need to hear that on my favourite station, please. Don't call us Pookies. I'm sorry, Pookie. No! Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, Vaughn, it's time to play

Sirens of the World. Ooh! That's not a siren. Do you have your siren at the ready? Now, Vaughn, it's time to play Sirens of the World. The segment that somehow exists. Do you have your siren at the ready? Do you want the truth or do you want me to pad for timing while I find one? I think I have requested something really spicy. Okay. Okay.

Vaughn Sirens of the World. That voice always makes me laugh. Now, this, I don't know how this segment keeps going, but it is somehow. Because you know what? In the world of 2024, sometimes the news is pretty bleak and we just want to have a giggle about some sirens in some foreign countries.

Now, Vaughn will play a siren. You've got to identify two things. The country where the siren is from and the emergency service. And if you can do that, you win. That's all it's going to take. Last time,

I'm not actually very good at this game. I always feel like I've absolutely nailed it. And all the European ones are always, you know, cute. Yeah, they are cute. And all just sound the same. Ours are so lame. This is the Mongolian one. Yeah.

You know you can't play that. Did you play that? Yeah, that was on there. Because that went, for some reason, the video I had. Yeah, I'm not going to be able to do that one now. Do I win? Was that spicy enough? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're on the right level of spice. Was that the level of spice? Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. Okay. You're on the right level of spice. Was that the level of spice? Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Yep. Okay. Oh. Oh, spicy. Oh. Different, eh? I'm going to say police. And fire?

Go again, because there was a... I love that. Listen to this bit here. Oh, yeah, like it's got different... It sounded like... It was like... It's kind of like those It sounded like Don't you think that moment sounds like a toy gun with like a little sound in it?

A chamomile? A chamomile before bed. What happened to the bell tea circular tea bags? You can still get them in bulk, I think. I was going to say, we've get a box of the square ones. Why did you go bell? Why didn't you go like... Because it's only ever used

when mum and dad come and they have a cup of tea. They're the only people that have a cup. Sade has like green tea and her dad, if he's over here, he's got like green tea. Wait, so you decided to have a tea instead of like a drink?

Yeah. There's caffeine in it. That's right. Okay. Just before bed? Not much. Yeah. It's wimps caffeine. Tea is

wimps caffeine. Yeah, it is. Yeah. A quad shot long black. Now that's man's caffeine. That's a beautiful pre-bed. That's coursing through my veins. Okay, so you had a cup of tea. I had a cup of tea. Black. I'm not putting milk in it. Okay. I'm not a baby.

Yeah. I'm not a baby sucking on milk. So I have a black baby. Yeah. I'm not a baby. Straight from the tea. Sucking on milk. So I have a black tea. Yeah. Man, I was full. Why did it make me so full? Painfully full after I drank this cup of tea. I was like, whew.

Just the mug of water. A big mug of water, hot, with a bag of whatever's in it. What is in it? Tea leaf tips. Yeah. PG tips. Dried tea. Oh Tea leaf tips. Yeah. PG tips. Dried tea. Oh, what should have been PG tips? Remember when they used to have monkeys in their ants?

Yeah, before it was frowned upon. Yeah, yeah. The monkeys were moving a piano. So why are we so full? I don't know. I'm not used to it. I don't know. It was weird. Do you not drink water before bed? Yeah. Yeah. It's no different.

I know. It's just stained water. I know it's stained water. That's why bed? Yeah. Yeah. It's no different. I know. It's just stained water. I know it's stained water. That's why I don't like tea. It's stained water. It's simply all it is. It's literally just some stained water. My mother-in-law has tea.

This is how she has the tea. The tea bag goes in and she goes, one, two, three, four, five, and takes it out and shakes it. Oh, no. I'm like, this is a weird way of having a nip of milk. That's all you're having. Yeah.

The tea's hardly had time to steep. Because you know I met the Dilmar tea guy once. You did, yeah. And he gave me a... Did he say when he handed you a tea? Do try it. No, he told me the secrets of steeping a good tea. Right.

Three minutes. Three minutes. Three minutes. At least three minutes. But maybe... So what, you're just going to go back to drinking now? In moderation, of course. I mean, it is in moderation, of course. Just a shot just going to go back to drinking now? In moderation, of course.

It is in moderation, of course. Why do you make me feel so full? Stupid tea? Sometimes I get really full from water and I'm so full, I'm like, how are you like this useless at life? My body's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

What are you what are you cramming in here play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley there are some there are only four pay by the hour parking spots

that have popped up in Christchurch opposite Little High Eatery now that's where we went when we tried to save money by not going to the expensive place and we ended up

spending just as much money yeah because there's too much there's too many options and I want that that that that and then we get a couple of beers and now, you know, we've spent the same amount. Now this is on St. Asaph. Asaph?

A-S-A-P. There's not a city in this country with as many hard to say street names and suburbs as Christchurch. My favourite one on Christchurch is Armageddon Street. Yeah, yeah. Armageddon Street. There's St. Armageddon. Armageddon Street. There's Sinas, there's that whole suburb. Yeah, Sinas First Street in front of a block of townhouses.

The complaint is they're too small to fit anything bigger than a Suzuki Swift. People are trying to get in there and they're like, I can't get it within the lines. So someone measured the first car park. It is 4.6 metres long. They said that is enough space for a Suzuki Swift. Do you know,

have you ever tried to book your car on the Inter-Islander and it's like, how long is your car? And that's the first time it makes you think how long your car is. I've got a hatchback

so maybe longer. Would you know how long your car is? I just googled it. The Suzuki Jimny is 3.9 metres long. So you've only got 6 centimetres. Wait, how long is this?

4.6. No, so I've got 60 centimetres. Oh, 60 centimetres. That's 30 centimetres each side once it's fully in. You're not backing yourself to do that. In a Jimny. You're not backing yourself to do that, Parallel Park. That's a two-door Jim chimney known for its compact size.

Although it's a chimney, you could just drive straight in. Oh, I beg your pardon, sir. We're too long. You could drive it on the side. We're too long. Park it on the side. So our Hyundai Santa Fe

is 4.7 metres long. So you can't fit. 10 centimetres too long. Doesn't fit. And then people, if you've got a ute or like a sedan or a station wagon,

you're screwed. There's a few of these in Auckland. There's a civic, the big underground civic car park right in town. The car parks are so skinny. When they redid it, for years it had scaffolding all through it because they thought it was going to collapse in on itself and that's always reassuring when you're parking down there. But, and why is Auckland's central city dead?

No one knows. Because it's right below that abandoned entertainment centre, just above the Metro. They used to have a whole lot of stuff. It's still one of my favourite bars up there. Let's not forget, very cheap wines. You can drink them on the deck. Isn't it a bowling?

Is the bowling shut down? Yeah, that's where we drink. That's my favourite bar in Auckland. Shut up, it's a best kept secret. I reckon when they redid it and took the scaffolding down, they were also like, let's squeeze in a few more parks. Yeah, totally. And then my favourite is where we go to the gym.

It's a brand new car park, really fancy car park. On the bottom floor, small cars only because they're smaller car parks. Oh, yeah. But my favourite thing is you always get in there. There's some idiot in an SUV that's like rammed itself in and its nose is sticking out and they're like, I'm a small car. And they're climbing out of the boot. They're climbing out of the boot.

Because they put the back seats down. And they're like, no, anything to car. And they're climbing out of the boot. They're climbing out of the boot. Because they put the back seats down. And they're like, no, anything to save me walking down one flight of stairs. The 2024 Ford Ranger is 5.2 metres long. Oh, you're not squeezing in there. So they're a 4.7 car park. So people are up in arms being like, what was the point of these? You can't use them. Yeah, just have one less park.

Where we're Yumcha. Yes. Down on Auckland's waterfront. What is that park called? The Viaduct. When you'd quarter. Oh, yeah. Between the're Yumcha. Yes. Down on Auckland's like waterfront. What is that park called? Fletch? The Viaduct. Yeah. Wyanduct.

Yeah. Between the Viaduct and Wyanduct there's a few apartments and the car parks are one and a half cars big and it drives me insane.

Because there'll be like a Suzuki Swift in the middle of it and you're like if you'd gone right forward you could easily fit another car there. Another Swift or Jimny.

No, full-size car. Oh, Jesus. And sometimes I'll just put our Santa Fe, because I'll drop the family off. I'll say, I'll find a park, because that's the kind of yum-cha hero I am. I'm like, you go get the table. You start ordering.

You start taking that list. And I start. Daddy wants some pork buns. Daddy wants to arrive to some shumai. Some pork shumai. Okay. And I always yell out, pork and prawn dumplings, as I drive away because I'd forgotten to mention that.

Pork and prawn, pork and prawn. Pork and prawn everything. And I'll just bump up and, like, nudge into a tree and park up like that because we can get out of there. I've been in your car when you've done this and been like, this is now a car park. Yeah, it's so frustrating when it's through. So I think what you're saying there is make it fat.

Make it fat. Make it fit. Kids, we must remember every time you're in the car and it makes no difference if you're going near or far. If you're in the front seat or if you're in the back, shove it in the car park. Make it fit. Make it fit. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.

A little bit of passion for music there. That's a KPI. Take it off. Morning for the lesbian listeners. We didn't give them their own personal gradient this morning. Oh, and you just think after Chapel Rowan, we chuck it in there. I just think it's always appropriate.

Yeah, yeah. Totally always appropriate. We want to talk now about when you've been stuck upside down. Far out. Because being stuck is bad, but being stuck upside down is embarrassing. Like if you're climbing over something and you slip, but your pants get caught and you're kind of stuck there upside

down, that's way more embarrassing than if you just fell off or got trapped right way up. I don't know why. Is it because the blood's rushing to your head and you feel, I don't know. An Australian woman was out and about doing a little walk-see in nature. She dropped her phone

and it went down between two boulders. Yep. So then she was like, oh no, I'll try to reach my phone. And she reached down and she lost her grip and she slipped face first, arms down into a boulder crevice where at some stage she could fit no further.

So she got wedged. She got wedged, trapped, upside down between two boulders. That would be terrifying. That is just like the worst nightmare material. And snakes. It's Australia. Oh, yeah.

Crevice. Snakes love crevices. I also just hate being upside down. I hate the feeling of that blood rushing to my head and just being like, when's this going to be over? And you get older and you go. It's just like the pressure on your eyeballs. So what, would her partner take a photo and then pull her out?

No, they tried unsuccessfully to free her hiking companion, Scott. They ran to where they could find cell phone reception and they called emergency services. So she's just stuck there. They weren't like, we'll lube you up and slip you out the way you came. Yeah, that would be my number one thing to do, right? Yeah, but then you're in the middle of nowhere. Where do you get lube from?

No, I'm imagining emergency services right with lube. Oh, yeah. And then chuck her right around her feet and pull it until she goes, poing! What is the emergency services choice of lube? Do they have a big canister? KY. It's official medical grade. They might get non-branded hospital lube. Turex does a

natural one. Yeah, but you're paying for the brand. I go natural. I don't want any additives in there. Add down there. God, no. You're paying for the brand, though. You want to know. You want the, you know, whatever the health service is buying it.

Do you think on the fire truck there's a big thing of lube? Yeah, they've got like a big vat of it. Well, you're not here for firefighters week, fact of the day. On lube day. Thursday was lube day. On the fact. I didn't miss that. Thursday every week is lube day, fact of the day.

And whatever theme it is, we've got to work. No, that's not true. Don't hold me to that. So they got there and they're like, how the hell are we going to get her out? They had to move. They had to get like industrial grade strength separators. Oh.

To like pull it apart. Like jewels of life. On the reverse. Oh, okay. Yeah. And they pushed it apart. They had to move like massive boulders to Oh, okay. Yeah, and they pushed it apart. They had to move like massive boulders to get her out. And did she flop out?

My hope was the minute she came loose enough, she crumpled face down. Yeah, same, same, same. Yeah. I mean, how could it get any worse for her? And then she's like, at least it couldn't get any worse. And then all of a sudden you go, blah. Yeah.

And hit the ground. But she said you're literally lifesavers. I don't think she got her phone back. Oh, really? That's gone. I don't think she got her phone back. Oh, really? That's gone. I don't think she got her phone back because she was stuck upside down. Yeah. So... Ooh.

What? Someone just messaged in that they've tried creme brulee flavoured lube. That's a chat for another time. We're not taking 0800 dollars and then what's your lube flavour? Did you have to crack it with a spoon? When you open the bottle, you've got to open the twist and crack it with a spoon. And blowtorch it on. It's just caramelised sugar, isn't it? But the creme brulee is like a creme pat.

Like a nice creamy bit. But the creme brulee is all about the sugar crust. Without it, it's just like a... We want to know now, when you've been stuck, not just stuck, but stuck upside down. Oh, my God. We had a text and that's actually just really scary. A car crash.

I was stuck upside down at four. Mum fell asleep at the wheel while driving. Crash rolled the car onto its roof. My only memory of the crash is my mum reaching around to undo my setback so I'd stop dangling. Oh, my goodness. Stop dangling.

My friend got hit by a stolen vehicle. And he got hit and his car flipped and he was upside down. And he was like, well, this isn't good. And then went to move. But when he picked up his leg, it fell apart in his hand. And his femur. Hayley, don't say that. We don't need to know that! His femur had

snapped in half and so when he went to go move his leg to try to get from being upside down, it just went like and he was like, I think I'll just wait. I don't know. Yeah, I'll just wait. Someone said to look up the Nutty Putty Cave but we covered that in Rumba Fact of the Day about caves. Remember the week, Cave

Week of Fact of the Day and that guy who was caving and went in and he had his arms forward and then he got reached to the point he couldn't get back out. That's right, yeah. They couldn't get him out and he's still there. Yeah. That's not. That's grim.

Absolutely not. We want funny stories of like falling over a gate and getting caught your pants caught on a nail and you're upside down and everything. Oh, hee-haha. Okay, 0800 dials at Emerson number. Call us now. You can text through 9696.

When did you get stuck upside down? Harrowing stories, actually. Call us now. You can text through 9696. When did you get stuck upside down? Harrowing stories, actually. That's so funny. Getting caught upside down, getting stuck upside down is very embarrassing. So much worse than just getting stuck. You're still just like flailing and gravity's working against you. You're not new usual.

All the dynamics change. This is because an Australian woman got wedged between some rocks trying to get her phone and stuck upside down for hours. For hours and hours and hours. Oh, my God. My husband did a bungee jump in Zimbabwe, and the mechanism to wind it back up broke. So he was just hanging upside down over the river for ages,

not knowing what was happening. There's a couple of those, because somebody else said they did the Nevis Canyon bungee, but you get to the bottom, and when you hang upside down, you pull a clip, and it makes it so you sit in like an upright position. But their husband couldn't get it to pull because he couldn't pull hard enough to negate his weight.

And he was just hung there like a fish. It's good stuff. I was stuck upside down in a seesaw once. I was young. My skirt got caught in between those pieces of metal. So I was dangling on the higher half of the seesaw upside down. Then they said, actually, guys, I was lying. It wasn't my skirt.

It was the suction between my calf and the middle seesaw seat. What? When your leg almost gets stuck. So they slid off backwards and their calf got stuck in the middle. Oh, my God. But then they didn't have the strength to pull themselves back up. Now, I like that they were going to blame their skirt. And then they were like, you know what, I'm going to be honest.

Sometimes this happens. Legs and the lack of core strength. Well, their skirt. And then they were like, you know what, I'm going to be honest. Sometimes this happens. Legs and the lack of core strength. Tammy, what happened? When did you get stuck upside down? So it wasn't actually me. It was my middle boy when he was about six or seven maybe. And we were watching the rugby and he put his head in between the seat, you know, the fold-up seat.

You actually had a live rugby game in the stadium? Yeah, in Whanganui. Oh, okay, in Whanganui. And he put his head in between that gap. Yeah. And, of course, it folded up. And then, of course, he couldn't get his head back out because of his ears.

So my husband had to turn him upside down and hold him upside down while I was trying to kind of pin his ears. You could sort of lube up the ears maybe. He kind of gaffed himself in the chair. He just slide himself back out in front of everybody. Oh my God. Tammy, thank you.

Josh, when did you get stuck upside down? Yeah, g'day. I was only a wee tick. I would have been about eight or nine and me and my old man were pig hunting. Yep. So we had all the dogs there. They were out on the find and they started barking up.

Found a pig and we start running to try and find this pig dad in front of me. I'm trying to keep up with them and I catch my foot in a root and managed to fall over like a three metre gorge and I'm just hanging by my foot. Cheapest.

Against the wall of the gorge. Oh my God, with your foot in a tree root. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it fully like twisted around so I couldn't get it out at all. But I kept quiet because I was pretty embarrassed.

So I sat there for about 10 or 15 minutes before Dad started looking for me. Man, hey. I'd be screaming. It's pretty wild as a father, you're out in the bush pig hunting and you're going to give your kid 15 minutes before Dad started looking for me. Man, eh? I'd be screaming. It's pretty wild as a father, you're out in the bush

pick hunting and you're going to give your kid 15 minutes. You know what I mean? It's like, where are you? Yeah. Nice to hear from you, Josh.

May I also just make a side suggestion that you should get into reading audio erotica? Anyway, have a great day. He's got a very nice voice. Can we get a temp check

in the studio, please? You've made Hayley a bit tingly there, Josh. Josh, you've got a great voice. I appreciate that. Thank you. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Josh.

Wait, can we give Josh Coro of the week, please? Just for me. He's done nothing but say a story. He got caught. He survived a harrowing story. Yeah, he's amazing. Right, okay. And he's got an amazing voice.

We're at Thursday and someone's finally had their first Fanny Flutters of the week. I'm sorry it took so long. Yeah, also happy to help you out there. Can we just keep Josh's number on file in case we ever need him to read anything?

Look at Carwin. Look at Carwin. She's busted. So many more stories about Upside Down but nothing compares to Josh Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Fact of the Day. Fact of the Week. It's Fact of the Day, but we do themed weeks.

Yes, there we go. Is that all right? Yeah, that'll do. Cool, cool. So today's Fact of the Day is an easy way to get a luxury car. Audi? That's in a right? Oh, I'd love an Audi.

Remember, Hayley had an Audi. Yeah, I did for three months. Had a lone Audi. That was fun. Porsche? Then they took it away. Want a Porsche? I'd love a Porsche.

I'd love a Lamborghini. No, that was next on my list. Yeah. Or a Bentley? Nah. Too flat. Too flat in the nose. Yeah, yeah.

God, you'll never get into one of those tiny Christchurch car parks. No, exactly. I just want a nice, humble Lamborghini. A nice, humble Lamborghini Aventor? Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Aventador Lamborghini. Now, wait.

Are you going to tell us there's a police auction or something? No. No? Yes or no? Flood damage. We're close. Oh. Insurance write-offs.

No, they're definitely insurance write-offs. Because? They fell off a ship. Wow, they didn't fall off the ship. The ship. Sank. Bingo. Whoa.

In 2022. You are good. You got there in the end. Well done. In 2022. Only took six guesses. The Felicity Ace sunk. The Felicity Ace.

Yep. It was sailing from Germany. What? Sorry. I just said it was a lame boat name yeah what would you call your boat if it was a cargo ship cargo ship

well I was gonna say a car ship yeah it's a car ship like one of the big ones transport go go go what would you call it max

max yeah man I'm calling it max maximum seas yeah maximum seas ocean crusher yeah yeah yeah the Max. Max. Yeah, man, I'm calling it Max. Max. Maximum Seas. Yeah, Maximum Seas. Yeah, Maximum Seas. Ocean Crusher. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Wave Rider. And then it's got like Panama under it because there's only like six places all the ships are registered to. Yeah, you want to go to Panama, right? You want to register to Panama. Tide Tamer Panama. This one actually was.

Tide Tamer. Yeah, that was long. Love it, yeah. Yeah. Tide Tamer of Panama. It was owned and operated by a Japanese cruise ship but it was registered

in Panama yeah what was that movie there's a oh my god it was what was that Dogs of War

Lords of War with Nicolas Cage that was a great they repainted yeah when the thing was coming and they had all the guns oh my god

that's such a good movie you should watch it but there's a reason that ships are only registered to like a few ports around the world. It's taxed. It's taxed. It's totally taxed.

So this was headed from Germany to the United States on board. It had 3,965 cars. Yep. How many? 3,000. 965 cars of the Volkswagen group. I would say 4,000 cars. So that's what the article's headline said.

4,000 luxury cars that are at the bottom of the ocean after the ship sunk. But I'm a bit of a details man. So 36 short and you're like, I can't do it. Bourne wouldn't want to go to his grave knowing that he'd misled the New Zealand public by 36 cars. Well, 36 cars will make or break a man. I mean, 36 Lamborghinis worth quite a lot of money to be fair.

So 3,965 exactly. Volkswagen group cars, Audis, Porsche, Lamborghinis worth quite a lot of money, to be fair. So 3,965 exactly. Volkswagen group cars, Audis, Porsche, Lamborghinis, and Bentleys were on board this boat. They were heading to Rhode Island in the States when a fire broke out on a ship. Now, the harbormaster told Reuters. It's Reuters, but okay. He told all the Reuters that it was those lithium-ion batteries

in electric cars that had ignited. Really upsetting the Volkswagen group who said actually that's never been proven. It was a fire but the origins of the fire, very hard to prove when it's on the bottom of the ocean. Yeah, I can imagine. Very hard to prove. Water and fire. But he said it looked like it was and they said well until we get

confirmation maybe you don't start spreading those rumours that make people feel unsafe about lithium ion batteries. Bit of a shut your mouth. Yeah, bit of a shut your mouth situation. So on March the 1st, 2022, the fire caused it to capsize and sink. It had 1,117

Porsche on board. Porsche just don't do cheap cars. No, there's not like, you know, like Audi, which is the next one. There's like cheaper. There's A3s and you can get real kitted out ones or there's the like Audi, which is the next one. There's cheaper and there's real nice. You can get real kitted out ones or there's the cheaper version of it. Volkswagen's lost 561. 189

Bentleys went down. They don't do cheap cars either. Bentley's don't do cheap cars. Much like Mazda. There's not a Mazda 3 equivalent of a Bentley. And Lamborghini lost 85 cars. Right.

Wow. A $400 million US insurance claim on Cargo Align. That's insane. Not to mention how much a boat costs, probably billions. How much is a boat? A billion. I don't know, probably a couple of billions. I reckon it'd be getting up there.

Yeah. It'd be getting up there at the billions. If you would like to grab your scuba gear and head out and try to find it. Slightly water damaged. Bit of rust. Yeah. Slight rust. There's some cockles on board.

I reckon by now the barnacles will be starting to settle on the Lambos. Maybe a scallop in the glove box. A family of scallops. I wouldn't be mad, yeah. Taking refuge in your glove box? It's about 320 kilometres off a bunch of islands I've never heard that are to the west.

We say nautical kilometres. You idiot. You dick. Is that about 200 nautical miles? We say nautical kilometres. 320 nautical kilometres are off the Azores. Lovely. So today's fact We say nautical kilometres. Nautical kilometres. 320 nautical kilometres. Bro, bro. Of the Azores.

Okay, lovely. Yeah. So today's fact of the day. As if you were a Lambo, it doesn't need to come off the car lot. It could come off the bottom of the ocean. You've just got to go and get it. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

Now, apparently there is a rise in Australians who often we have similar habits as much as we like to say that we're very different. Sure. Sidebar, even before I even get to this. Sidebar, may I? Yeah, you may. Did you see that the king himself acknowledged that Australia created the pavlova? And people are upset. We've got a real problem on our hands then.

No wonder he's not coming here. He knew he was going to do that. People are very upset. Yeah. Because he was like, this is a great. This is a great place. I do quite a good king. You do not is a great... This is a great place. I do quite a good king. You do not a bad king.

This is a wonderful nation. It is the home of this, that, and the pavalova. And New Zealanders were like... I'll call for his abdication. Abdication? Yeah. Get out of the way. Let William in.

Yeah. He'll know. He'll know. You don't think he'll know. You're not a William fan. Get Harry in there, man. Let's spice it up Let's get crazy

Let's get some drama His inauguration Not inauguration His crowning thing Yeah There'll be a sick party Yeah Dress ups

Anyway So apparently One in four Australians Are ditching friends They're cutting friends down Shrinking their social circle Simply because of the cost of living. It is too expensive to be keeping up with all these friendships.

I'm happy to help. On how to shrink your friendship. Yeah. Group. They're just saying that things like, when you've got a lot of friends that you are maintaining, it means more social outings, more like, hey, we should meet up and have a drink,

we should have dinner, we should go to a movie. I get that. Yeah, I get it. But also, you don't need to should have dinner. We should go to a movie. I get that. Yeah, I get that. But you don't need to go out and spend money to be with your friends. That's right. You can go to the beach. Hang out at each other's house. That's one of my favourite things to do.

Same. Rather than go to a bar. We love going to Vaughan's house. He's got a spa pool. His spa pool's got animals. He's nice and isolated, so it doesn't matter if you make noise too late. No. It just doesn't matter. Do you know what I mean? He doesn't matter if you make noise too late no it just doesn't matter

do you know what I mean he doesn't have neighbours right there we're not getting invited around and this is also one of the tips of cutting down

your friend group don't invite them around yeah so about four and a half million people are apparently whittling down they say

their friendship group being like I actually I'm just gonna pick five of you yeah why would you go out and socialise with, like, acquaintances if it's going to cost you a couple of hundred bucks? Yeah, exactly.

Just that's friend money. They're just saying friends, this is the quote, friends are no longer a luxury that I can afford. That's crazy. In these times where everything's a bit tough. Yeah. Friends are all you need. Right?

Nah. What do you need? For my family, my kids, my family. Get a life. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley, silly little poe, silly little poe. 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 is about airport goodbyes. Do you park and go in or drop them and go wave, babe? Babe. Because Dunedin's made international headlines, isn't it? They have, yep. The three, what is it? Three minute max hug.

Yeah. Move it on. Move it on, get out of here. But then, I don't know, airports are expensive. You're parking them even for just half an hour. Yeah. To go pick someone up or drop someone off and you're paying. $17.

Yeah. Very rarely will I go in to drop someone off. I'll do all my goodbyes on the drive there. Yeah, or before. Yeah, do them before. Yeah. Yeah, have a hug and see you later. Yeah.

Well, 33% of people park and go in. 67% drop them and go, Yeah. I'll drop and go, says Dan, but I made my boyfriend come in for me recently. In my defence, I was going away for a month. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I mean, I think if someone was leaving for a long, long time, or going on an OE and stuff. If it's immediate family and they're going on their OE or moving overseas, you're going in, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's you guys. It's just I wouldn't even stop.

I actually really like that about you. I throw my luggage out the window, and then I just have to tuck and roll. Tuck and roll. See you, mate. Have a good trip. You know those parking wardens at Auckland Airport. I hear you.

They are vicious in Auckland. And that's why the wardens appreciate the drop and roll. The drop and roll. Michelle says, have you seen the new Auckland Airport parking? It's literally a seven to ten minute walk from the car park to watch them stand in line and then to send them off at security and then to walk seven to ten minutes back to your own car to be charged $20. It's a tuck and roll for me.

Tuck and roll. It's the only way. Tuck and roll. Get out of here. Mason said, dropping guy. I expect the same treatment. I hate long goodbyes. It's just a see you soon. If it's a see you soon, even if it's three to five years. And it's normally the person that's going on their OE

that's already had like eight goodbye parties. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, exactly. Like, we don't need to go to the airport as well. We did that last weekend and we had brunch the next day.

We're good, man. Natalie says, it depends on the person. Best friend who lives in London who I see every two years, you better believe I'm going in. Husband going away for a work trip, better be ready to jump

from a moving car. Here we go. We're all talking. Tuck and roll. Tuck and roll. Amy said, lucky if I even stop. Have your shit ready

and make a fast evacuation from the car. Tuck and roll. Yeah, good. Sam, I'd much rather have my memory of the goodbye in a space that is meaning to that person, not some overpriced clinical hellhole with the worst lighting known to man.

Some airports do put a lot of air shots. Shots fired at airport lighting. Or Wellington, we get to see the big bird. Yeah. Or Dumbledore on it. Yeah. Not Dumbledore. Yeah.

No? No, not Dumbledore, Gandalf. Gandalf. What an idiot. Oh my God. What an absolute idiot. I was like, of course his name's Dumbledore. Yeah, that's Gandalf.

Yeah, that's Eagle Potter, isn't it? Yeah. It's James Gandalf name's Dumbledore. Yeah, that's Gandalf. Yeah, that's Eagle Potter, isn't it? Yeah. It's James Gandalfini. Dumbledore. Kylie said, my cousin couldn't believe it when I picked her up from the airport, Auckland airport, told her to text me when she arrived and I'd drive through the pickup bay. She was expecting I'd go in and park my car and meet her at arrival.

That's what you do. Saws, babes, not paying for that. No, you wait. You time the arrival. Yeah. And then you've got to keep looping. If they're delayed, I just loop. Drop them and go, says Michaela.

You've probably already been at my house for four days longer than I would have liked. Get out of here. Wow. Wow, okay. Tuck and roll for Michaela. Someone's had a bad overstay. Yeah. That's a couch surfer, isn't it?

All right, that's a little poll. Is that the podcast done? Because I'm busting for a poos. Busting for a poos? Jesus. Give us a review.
