The ZM Podcast Network. The Flesh, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Good morning, welcome to the show. Flesh, Fawn and Hayley, it's Friday. Do you know, I woke up this morning. Well, I didn't wake up. I woke up in a dream and it was 9.01am.

And Aaron was like, did you go to work? And I was like, no. I have those dreams. Yeah, and there was like nothing absurd about it. I was just like, man, I had such a good sleep. I just did not wake up. Right. So technically you've already done today.

You can just go home. I've done a whole day already. You've done a whole day already. Day B. Yeah, this is day B. Friday B. More Taylor Swift tickets today. You're going to be listening for that Taylor song at 8 o'clock.

Then the song at midday and 4 to win the double pass to see Taylor Swift. The top six on the way. Yeah, sure is. Have you not? Nope. Working on it. Working on it. Work in progress.

Nothing's really jumping out at me. Nothing's sticking. Nothing's sticking. I want it to be easy. We want a fun Friday one. Yeah. Okay. What about top six things you're looking for when you come over to rummage through my renovation

skip? Oh, he's not doing that, is he? Is this stuff in the skip? No. Okay, I'll help you put it in the skip. No, it's going on Tuesday. Tuesday, the skip's arriving because our guy's away. Oh, the skip's not even here. Okay, I'm going to come and hook a pile. Right. Because we're almost done. A lot of good stuff goes in the

skip. Yeah. I only see skips around the city. I'm just like, oh, that'd be cool to rummage through that. It's quite fun. You can really build a lot out of what we've got. We've got bloody windows and wood and floorboards. To the windows. And to the walls.

Till the sweat drips down my lower back. The silly little pole on the way as well. Is it okay ever to wear white at a wedding? Can't say I've done it myself. No, well, it's a ballsy move if you do. It is ballsy. It also depends on the style of the dress. But I feel like I've been reading so many articles recently

about women being like... It's okay. Look at this bee at my wedding in a white dress. Next on the show, though. Well, merchries and retrograde. What? Retrograde. Merchry?

Merchries and retrogrades. It's Friday. People always say, oh, God, no, don't worry about me. Mercury's in retrograde. I'm just having a bad day. Yeah, I know, but I had to apologise yesterday for being snappy. Oh, so this is why. And I think I've figured out why.

It's because Mercury is in retrograde. Okay. Can you tell me when we talk about this next what that even means? Probably not. Probably not. Does anybody know? I'll look it up. Okay, you look it up.

Because that's an official astronomy term. Yes. That astrologists use. But people attach their moods to it. But it does something in particular to women. Yeah. Well, 40% of people are using astrology for something pretty major. I'd like to just recommend a local business I've recently employed.

Vaughan's Mr. Minute. Vaughan's just taken a watch link out for me, and it's just a wonderful fit, sir. I think you would love working at a tinkery place like that. I would love to. You know, he's my favourite dude on the repair shop, the guy that does like the clock fixes and like the minute mechanical. Oh, no, you couldn't do that.

No, no, no, I don't have the eyesight for it. Nor the like, I was going to say your thumbs. I've got a pretty steady hand. You're quite chunky fingers for minute pieces. Do they get any complaints about my chunky thumbs? Oh, God, no. Maybe, though. Your little lady fingers.

Yeah, see, I'd be great getting in for a tinker. Fine work, you would be getting, you could get right in there. You'd be a good tinker, terrible lesbian. Great. Now, have you figured out

what Mercury in retrograde means and what it does? I know, I was actually doing my other job on this company's time. I was doing my Vaughan Smith watch repair business. Well, you figured that out. What actually happens when Mercury is in retrograde?

Because everybody loves to say it, but do they know what it means? Well, retrograde's like moving backwards, right? Retrograde means to basically like retreat. I'm sure Mercury doesn't go backwards. But yesterday I was a snip, snap, snappity-doo, right? And then at one point I heard it and I had to do a little apology to Aaron. I'm sorry. I'm feeling sharp.

I said, perhaps, you know, my cycle's on its way. And he was like, okay, I understand. But now I realise now it's not. It's mercury. Right, it's in retrograde. Yeah, and I don't know if this has any impact on this survey result that found that 40% of Gen Zs believe that astrology can help them make better financial decisions.

Are you kidding me? But I hope Mercury doesn't impact that, because it's already silly enough as it is. What's the stars going to tell you about your bank account? Do they mean that they will read a horoscope and then from that decide if they're going to make a purchase? Make like big financial decisions. Is this something Shannon would do?

I feel like it is. It does have, yeah, big Shannon energy. Shannon, do you use astrology to... Make any decisions whatsoever? Yeah, probably. Yeah, I knew it. I think it's because I feel like I feel like a Gemini. So.

Okay, you what? Like, I feel like I am a Gemini. But you're not a Gemini. No, she is. If someone told you you were a Virgo and you read Virgo. Nah, I feel like I feel like a Gemini. So then I subscribe to the idea of astrology more. If I was told I was a Virgo, I wouldn't believe in astrology.

Where's the paper? Oh, it's just been delivered. It's just been delivered. I'll read two completely anonymous star signs, and then one of them is Gemini, and she has to say which one it is. Oh, yeah, I like this. Do you know what I hate? Just as a side note, people that are like, oh, Scorpio,

we're snapping. You're just a bitch. It's nothing to do with what time of the year. You're quite a nasty person. By the way, that is such a cancer thing to say. Oh my God, it's full cancer energy. Oh my God, it is. So apparently Gen Z is obsessed with astrology for a number of reasons. One,

it's personalised. It's not. It's not. It's vague. It's genuinely not. 58% of Gen Z's think that they are personalised. It's really not, guys. No. They say it's comforting. The aim is it's generic

in general so that you attach to it, right? Like broad sweeping statements. Right, Vaughan, give us two. One being Gemini and one being not. And one being Gemini. Things go differently depending on who you spend the hours with. Sometimes you forget you have a choice, but it's one of the most important choices you make.

You are the casting director of your life. Does that feel like your star sign? I want to hear the other ones before. You'll return to an old scene with a fresh perspective and see the opportunity you missed earlier. Also, you don't need anything extra here. You can use what's there and shape it into something new. Nah.

First one, hard. I'm a casting director. Nope. No. The gentleman was the second one. One hundred. Yeah. So you are actually...

Do me, do me, do me, do me. You feel like a Capricorn. No, I hate Capricorns You are Why do you hate Capricorns? I don't know What is your star sign again? I'm Libra You're Libra

So I'll read Libra And I'll read another one And you tell me which one Remember when things went off plan But you still But you still That's alright That's okay

You're a tinkerer. They've made a spelling mistake. Remember when things went off plan, but you still something unexpectedly wonderful out of the day? That's what it says. Oh, yeah, they've really made a mistake there, haven't they? Remember when things went off plan? These hippies.

But you still made something unexpectedly wonderful out of the deal? Well, this will happen again. So try not to control the action too tightly. You can trust life to delight you. That's one. Libra's quite controlling. So that's what my vibe. Stick with your own purposes and projects today and you'll attract money.

People want to take a chance on you because of what you're doing seems like a lucrative opportunity. Number two. Yeah, that was the Libra. I'm a money attractor. I think that was just the coolest sounding star sign. You're a money spender.

I was just hoping number two was that. I was hoping I'm going to walk around today attracting money. Situations will bring out heightened emotions and relationships have an intensity level that could get uncomfortable. For these reasons, you'll need to make a conscious effort towards moderation. Fletcher, by the way, I'm doing two and you've got to pick which one is cancer. Moderation's in one of them. You have to make a conscious effort towards moderation.

You got cheese balls? You got a bag of cheese balls at home? He's going out tonight. Or it is brave to speak your mind, but that doesn't automatically make it your best option. Jeez, I mean, both of these are absolutely riding home to Fletch. Sometimes being vocal is not the kindest or most effective choice.

Think about the role of diplomacy and your overall strategy. Oh. I mean, both of those could have worked for me. Do you know what I mean? When you don't put the title on it. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Which one was the cancer one?

The second one. The one that was actually you to a T. Think about the role of diplomacy in your overall situation. Oh, my God, this is great. I believe in astrology now, guys. Yeah, same. And now I'm going to let it dictate all of my financial decisions. Mercury in retrograde is when a planet appears to be moving away from us

and it kind of can look like it's changing direction, but it's not. It's just right the way it's orbiting around us. But yeah, or you could just be a bitch. Yeah. I think you're probably just a bitch. Try to sleep more and drink more water and get some exercise. And quit being a bitch. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little poe. Silly little poe. It is so silly, silly, silly that I'm silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Today's silly little pole isn't ever a right to wear white to a wedding. This is obviously not your own wedding. This is when you're attending a wedding. Tradition

says that only the bride should be wearing white. Yeah. It's sort of like a distraction, isn't it? That's the main thing, is all eyes on the bride. Not the groom, if there's a groom. When I got married,

coming up 13 years ago, it was big purple. Purple was a big colour at the time. Yes. Oh, a lot of purple in that crowd. Oh, so much purple at weddings. Why is there always purple at weddings? Purple.

Like, we just don't rock a purple in day-to-day life. It used to be, you know, the only people that ever wore purple, I'm going back hundreds of years, was royalty because it was such an expensive dye. It was very hard to dye things and very expensive to dye things purple. Yeah, but now it's just synonymous with Cadbury and Tacky. Yeah. Cadbury and Pagani.

Yeah. And was Pumpkin Patch purple? No. No. Isn't it? No. They were orange, weren't they? Yeah, maybe they were orange because the pumpkins are orange.

At least it's a crown pumpkin. They're a green. Yes. Don't come in here with your crown pumpkins. Bring me a butternut squash, though. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll eat it every day, all day. We should rate pumpkins one day.

Yeah, dude. I'm so good for Friday rankings. Pumpkins. Yeah. Pumpkins. Is it okay to wear white to a wedding? 10% of people said, why not? Sure.

And shrug. 90% said, no way. Do you think those 10% of people said, why not? Sure. And shrug. 90% said, no way. Do you think those 10% were just like being silly? Don't get invited to weddings? Yeah, not anymore. Courtney says, it's one day, just wear a different colour. It's really not that hard. No.

It's really not that hard. It's not. Imagine the looks you'd get from everybody as well. Not just the bride. Especially if it's quite a formal dress you've got on. Yeah. And then it's white. Yeah, like a gown. It could be a bridal gown.

Yeah. That is the one fashion rule of attending a wedding, says Rachel. What about at a gay wedding when both the guys are in suits, like black suits or grey suits? Could a woman wear a white gown? Yeah. Would that be allowed? Or could a guy? I've been to two gay weddings this year.

Did you wear white to either of them? You were at both of them. No. You were at both of them. Well, like, obviously, did I have a white shirt? Oh, yeah, you're allowed to wear a white shirt, though. Yeah, you're allowed to wear a white shirt, but not. But nobody was wearing.

I can't remember. I'm sure there would have been. But I guess it wouldn't matter, right? Wahine in white. Yeah been Wahine and a white It wouldn't matter right Wahine and white Yeah Wahine and white Is dancing with me The chicken dance Well if it's a wedding

You've got to do the chicken dance At some stage Renee says Oof When your sister-in-law Wears a white dress To your small wedding And then claims it's not white

Because it has some flowers on it Oh sorry I didn't realise That the flowers cancelled out The very clearlylaw wears a white dress to your small wedding and then claims it's not white because it has some flowers on it. Oh, sorry, I didn't realise that the flowers cancelled out the very clearly essence of a white dress. Yeah, that's... Just don't do it. We're a bit troubled. There's some trauma there. Josh says, no, it's somebody's special day

and if there's even a small chance it would upset them, don't do it and there's lots of other colours. Last time I checked, there are lots of other colours. That's so true, yeah. He's not wrong at all. Have you been to a resine lately? Oh, God, endless. Good Lord.

So many colours. Katie says, someone wore a white dress to my wedding. Worst thing was, she was late, so I was waiting for them to get into the ceremony before I walked in, and she walked in, and everyone thought she was the bride and stole my glory. Holy. What a bitch. That hurts. That hurts. That hurts.

Disown them, Katie. Courtney says, what a shame if you wore a wedding to my dress and I was to accidentally spill red wine on you. Oh my God. Yeah, also, like I tend to get, I'll say it, sloppy at weddings. Especially when there's a bar tab. Just at weddings? I hold off

for weddings the rest of the time she's very much in control but I slop I wore a white shirt out the other weekend I went home

with like two espresso martinis down the front I don't wear white my wedding suit is the same fabric as the Auckland transport bus seats

it's very hard to say I'm very busy. And you can rub some chuddy into your T-shirt. You'll never notice. Yeah, dude. Chuddy me up. Also, just a great fashion statement.

Yeah. Just for you. Really attention grabbing. Chuddy me up. I think people would wear T-shirts with the bus fabric print on them. I think it would be quite a statement. Oh, my God, yeah. If they screen printed it on. Yes.

That would be a hot statement piece. I'm not familiar with, we should get the, we should, if you are a listener and you take public transport, we should try to get the different patterns

of the different cities around New Zealand because I'm sure they wouldn't be different. I love that idea. They're quite different. Yeah. They're quite different.

Like the trains are different. We could release a range. And some of the buses here have the ferns, have a fern pattern. Yes, the green. Yes. That's a bit of me. They'd all make great t-shirts.

We're painting this. You can't take our idea. No, it's our idea. I bet you someone's done it already. Bus, seat, t-shirts. New Zealand. New Zealand. It has been done. Who's done it? Let's see.

Ireland. Lad Bible when your shirt matches the seat on a bus. That may have been purely coincidental. We're going to do the New Zealand ones. I think we've got to do the New Zealand ones. Oh, that's a cool idea. A sports team. Yeah.

A Dublin sports team played their special, like, uniform. You know how they'll do, like, the Warriors do, like, the retro week or whatever. They did a bus seat week. And they made the uniform the same as the city buses. Yeah, let's do that. I like that idea. That's great. We just had a brainstorm live on air there. I like that. That's fantastic.

I've seen a little bit of a glimpse of what happens behind the scenes. Yeah, just a peek behind the curtain. I've seen how the sausage is made. Oh, there's sawdust in it. They still want the sausage. That's a sign of a good sausage. If you've seen how the sausage is made and you still want it. They still want the sausage. That's a sign of a good sausage. If you've seen how the sausage is made and you still want the sausage, then yeah, good stuff.

That's a good sausage. What do you mean Paula Bennett's already done it? Producer Jared, what do you mean Paula Bennett? I was Googling and there's a Reddit post of the awkward moment. I think that's accidental. That's good gear. That's good gear. That's old school, Paula. That's pre-surgery, Paula. That's Paula school Paula as well. That's pre-surgery Paula.

That's Paula in a panini. She is having a panini now. Right, but she hasn't done the T-shirt. No, no, no. She just had a ghastly vest. Oh, that looked like a bus seat. Okay, yeah. Fantastic.

That fuel crisis averted there. Paula did not come for our idea. That's a great idea. That's a great idea. Next on the show, scientists have invented something that could finally solve all of our problems. Oh, thank God. Well, one minor problem when we go to the toilet. Right, so it's not climate change.

That's not fixed. No. Cancer's still around. All right. Inequality. Yeah. Oh, look, okay. Not all of our problems.

We're still launching wars all the time? Okay, not all of our problems. Plastic in the oceans? Asterix. Asterix. Play it. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, researchers have developed a toilet.

Well, something like a coating that they can apply to a toilet that will make them forever skid-free. Skid-free? Skid-free? Skid-free. Slip on down and not leave a trace. So Chinese researchers... Man, my three cheese lasagna. I'll see you in the morning.

Do you want to maybe get in touch with the lab and say, I've got something. I'll test this for you. So Chinese researchers have developed a non-stick toilet bowl surface that they say will make brushes obsolete. Wow. That's good news. Because the brushes are so mank, man.

How's your, because we talked a few, maybe a month ago, about toilet brushes being mank. My grab one, my grab one toilet brush. And I told you about the silicon. Yeah, so I got one. So it's like, it's a bit like plasticky. Oh, it's cheap as. Yeah, your I got one. So it's a bit like plasticky. It's cheap as. Yeah, your handle came.

So I checked mine when I got home. Our handle's a one-piece handle. You've got a one-piece handle? Yeah, one-piece handle. I went to clip my handle. So yeah, it's a bit. But you can hide it behind the toilet so you don't see it. But I tell you what, the silicon toilet brushes, they're amazing.

He's on board. You're on board. I'm on board. He's on board. Wow. Because you know when you use a brush and you do the toilet. And then you've got to tap it. You've got to flick and then you flush and flick.

Yeah, and then there's always a little bit of like dots of poops on the brush. Yeah, dots of potty poops. Nothing, do you find this nothing sticks to the brush? Yeah. It's incredible. I was telling you. And I think because the nubs of silicone are so much shorter. Yeah.

There's not a lot of room for it to get lost in the brush. And then it just comes off. I need one that's aesthetically pleasing. I know. Okay, so the bad news is there is not a single... They're a little bit ugly. There's not a single silicone brush that is aesthetically pleasing. Aesthetically.

Aesthetically pleasing. There you go. Aesthetically pleasing. There isn't a single one that's been made. Because you know the toilet brush I was looking at, close to, what, over $200? It was in a brass holder. That's insane.

That's insane for a toilet brush. Yeah, but it's brass, and our house is all brass finishings. So I want that one. But now I'm sort of... You just go for a cheapie. Should I get some paint? Oh, my God, paint this silicon gold. Yeah, that's not going to look good., paint the silicon gold. Yeah,

that's not going to look good. That's not a vibe. Yeah, no, just get one of these and hide it behind the toilet. Yeah. Or hide it behind something because I tell you what,

they're pretty amazing. We don't have it behind the toilet. To the side? It's boof to the wall. Oh, that's nice. Thank you.

Can you hide it behind something like a wicker basket? Maybe a toilet brush? Rimless? Where does the water come in from? Man, where does it come in from? So it's rimless and it's buffed against the wall.

That's good stuff because those are your two cleaning problems of a toilet. You've got to get behind it because the dust builds up and then the rim, you've got to get up under it. You just need the silicon brush or this new Chinese science. I want the Chinese slip coat. No, stick. That would be amazing. Do you know who, bloody, sticks?

Women. God, sometimes you go into the work bathrooms and you're like, open a cubicle. Oh, fuck. I'm going to get in the next one. Do you mean stinks? I thought you said sticks. Sticks.

No, woman, whenever there's a phantom poo, it's always in the woman's. Sticky poops. Oh, really? And they don't clean up afterwards. Oh, no, no, no. Women are absolutely... We need the silicon lungs when they get in there.

Is it that people don't want to touch the yucky brushes? No, I just think that they're just... Feral. Someone else's... You have feral women. Everywhere. Clean your poops Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley Play ZM

From the bustling ZM think tank This is the Top 6 Yeah, g'day there Tonight, round 26 The Warriors' last home game of what has been a hell of a season for the Warriors Up the Waz Up the Waz It's way Up the Waz What are they called, Vodafone now? The Warriors' last home game of what has been a hell of a season for the Warriors. Up the Waz. Up the Waz.

But away we go tonight against the St. George Illawarra Dragons. And you might be watching and you might be thinking, what can I yell? I've got to get involved. I just can't keep screaming up the whars. Even though there is absolutely no limit to the amount of time you can scream up the whars during the Warriors game tonight, there are six other things to yell. Number six on the list.

DWZ better do one of those diving for the corner fly tries that he does every game. I bloody love those. What does that mean? Wow. DWZ's out there on the wing, and he does this thing where he runs for a corner, and he dives. Yeah. And he just goes, whoop, and and touches the ball and then rolls out.

Tonight during the Warriors game. Well, Tohu Harris is going to absolutely make some meters to celebrate his 100th game for the Warriors. I'll just scream his name, to be honest. Yeah. I'm glad you've just found him online. Kayleigh's just seen him. I just said, I think I've got someone that might be up your alley.

She said, he is my alley. He is my alley. He's been married, though, isn't he? He's been married for a while. He's been married with kids, yeah. He's been married with kids. Get your hands off. Never stopped me before.

No, it hasn't. Oh, my God. I don't know why I said that. Sorry, I'm out of control. Yeah, married with kids. Get your hands off. Never stopped me before. No, it hasn't. Oh, my God. I don't know why I said that. Sorry, I'm out of control. I'm out of control. I'm out of control. You are out of control. Number two on the list of the top six things apart from up the waz,

Jeepers. Oh, yeah, I can you heard me say DWZ before. Yep. That's Dylan Watini Zalesniak. Jeepers. Oh, yeah. I can see why they say DWZ.

Chance, who's out the back, who's also tickled the fancy of some people in studio. Chance Nickel Klopstad. You've got to get a... Klopstad. Klokstad. Klokstad. Klokstad. Klokstad.

Klokstad. Okay. Get that around the end. Sounds like a town you go on a train through Austria in. It does have a real... We're going through clock start. It does have a real Germanic feeling to it. And Adam Fanua Blake.

You want to get your... Adam Fanua Blake. You want to get the tongue around that one. And number one on the list of the top six things apart from... Ahab! Who's the worst? You can say you're into the Warriors game tonight. Sean Johnson's 250th game in the NRL and he's still got a face that fresh.

What's his secret? Yeah, I know. That is a gorgeous face. That's a gorge face. Gorge man. Yep. That is a good man. Top six.

Remember, up the wars. We're joined in studio by the legend himself, Di Henwood. Good morning. Oh, pleasure to be here. What's up, man? Great to have you here. It's good, you know. I'm actually in a really good spot at the moment. Just last week I finished my 20th round of chemo.

I'm on a break now pretty much for the rest of the year from treatment. So it's happy days. I can just get out and enjoy things now. When you do, because you've done 20 rounds, when you're on, when you're in the round, it's pretty crap, eh? You're feeling awful? Yeah, the week of the round is very awful. It's like having the worst hangover of your life for five days so you just feel like...

Sure, it's a little bit worse. I reckon. I've had some gnarly hangovers die. But you get that, but without the good times that brought the hangover on. So you have that, then you just feel like smashing some burgers and some fries and that. Then you sort of come out of the

fog. Then you have a good week of, and I sort of choose to, when I get out and start doing comedy, start herning around, that makes me feel better. So then I have a good week then back into it. And I think I knock things back quite a bit. We sort of do a scan in a few weeks

and then and then just have some time off and it's been awesome being involved with the Cancer Society and that because it's actually

it's like I'm sort of people have contacted me saying it's awesome you've been public because it feels like it's helping me and then

it's selfish like you know sometimes doing things for other people make you feel good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is going to be a real buzz. Dude, totally.

I listened to a podcast about how there's no such thing as a selfless act. And he talked to all these people that believed they were doing selfless acts. But it boils down to the fact that it makes you feel good to make other people feel good. So I had this the other night, right? I went, I did a full deep clean of the kitchen. We're talking deep clean. Yeah, that's nice. And then I went to myself, actually, all good deeds should go unmentioned.

I'm not going to say anything. No, no, no, no, no, no. You're supposed to tell your wife what you've just been doing for over and over and over and over for months. My wife hadn't even shut the front door and I was your bed, she'd be catching that. And then she goes into a cupboard and you're like,

how was that? How was that? I jiffed the bloody grouting, babe. You're like, oh. How does she dig it? Because my wife gets horny. Oh, right.

I do it unasked. Even if I then parade around a bit of a cock of the block, sort of walk around, she's still horny. It's pretty good stuff. I bet you just wish

that you could do it without showing off about it, eh? Nope. And then I'm giving her a full walk around of how I folded the sheets and then how on TikTok I worked out this thing with a toaster where I could change the dial on it. What do you want? Are you wanting a little in return or you just wanted to say,

well done, darling? I don't really know what I want because, I mean, I wasn't ready for anything. I was so proud of my cleaning that I'd already self-sourced. Good Lord, this looks good. The smell of jiff will get you going. Hey, so you're ANZ's ambassador for Daffodil Day. Yes.

Which is so exciting. So it's awesome, because they brought on... So I never knew really what Daffodil Day was about. This is what I was going to say. We know it, right? We always know it every year. We're like, oh, if I have a yellow flower. You go, yes, great cause.

Yeah, cancer, of course. So the good thing is that the ANZ get behind the Cancer Society. So they do sort of all the admin of getting things on. We did an amazing comedy show last night that they put on. We raised money that way. So it means all the money goes to the Cancer Society and to the actual tangible things they do. So if people are coming in from outside of Auckland for treatment,

the Cancer Society put up the patient and their whānau. Oh, that's cool. So in Auckland, close to the hospital. So that's a lot of cash. They do massage therapy. They do lifts to and from treatment. They do, for me, which both myself and my wife have used, is counselling and therapy.

Yeah. Because, like, you've got, everyone does therapy these days, but most therapists don't deal with cancer, right? They're more like, oh, so you have a bit of anxiety around going to parties, do you? Yes, yeah. Oh, my God,? They're more like, oh, so you have a bit of anxiety around going to parties, do you? Yes, yeah. Oh, my God. Vaughan's like, yes.

But, you know, there's also, there are, they're heavy issues, but they're like, they do a lot more personal therapy. Of course. And then you go, hey, so I've got this really heavy cancer diagnosis. Oh, yeah. Hey, you should give my mate a ring. Right, right, right. Whereas these therapists at the Cancer Society,

that's all they, they deal with cancer, how to talk to families, how to talk to kids about it, how to deal with it. So it's not just your illness, is it? No. When you're a dad and a husband. I reckon cancer's a diagnosis for two because your partner goes through the exact mental trauma

and the exact anxiety that you go through. I just have the physical side of it. So they need a lot of help as well. And everyone knows therapy costs money. Accommodation in inner city Auckland costs a fortune. So it's like the good thing about the cancer side is when you're donating you know there's real tangible

costs. So that's what you're covering when you donate. I love that because I know when you were first diagnosed you kept it to yourself for a while and friends and family and I remember chatting to you and you saying you were going to wait to kick it in the dick and then come out and do something really meaningful with

this burden that you've been given and it's amazing now. I mean, you are kicking its ass. Yeah, the weird thing was it was last August was when the oncologist, I'd just finished filming a Have You Been Paying Attention and I was sitting in the car park at Sky City talking to my oncologist and that was when he'd gone from, said we had an intent to cure it, which was what I'd had for three years, then he went hey, where it's popped up and that, it's incurable now. And that was like a huge shift. Yeah. Because then it was like wow

now my analogy I suppose is I'm like a huge shift. Yeah. Because then it was like, wow, now my analogy, I suppose, is I'm like a classic car that I've got to keep on the road and do a bit of spot welding here with chemo. You know, I've got to keep warring a fitness going for the next year, that sort of thing. And then I was like, OK, now I want to try and figure out how I can go public with it. Yeah. I got through a few months of the sort of just crying and woe is me and what's going on and then I was like right I'm in a good way. I want to actually get out there and the

messages I get every day from people have just blown me away from people who are going through cancer I can share some tips or just go back and forth with them and sort of DMs. I'm sliding into people's DMs. A little different.

Again. In a legitimate way. In a legitimate way. Well, as you say, it affects so many New Zealanders. If you can help out today at Stafford All Day, buy at Aftonville. Yeah. Donate some money.

As you say, it's all... Big or small, right? Every little bit counts. Yeah, that's the thing, because you know where it's going. It's going to a good place. And the sad thing is so many people you know, if you look through family and friends, you don't have to look far until you find someone

who's dealing with it or going through it. Yeah, you're just doing it now, and probably ours will come or to someone we love soon. So chuck your coffee money at Daffodil Day. Love it. Beautiful. Dye Hemwood, a pleasure. Wait a minute.

Score prediction for the Warriors tonight. Oh, of course. Of course, up the Waz. Are you up the Waz? Up the Waz. What is it? I just wanted to talk to you about leg. Up the Waz.

This has gone from like people just 20 bourbon and coke steaks screaming, Up the Waz. To now people walk past me in the street and they're just, Up the Waz. Yeah. Up the Waz. It's quite sophisticated now, isn't it? Are you commentating ACC tonight?

I'm on the ACC tonight and I want this to be a statement. We haven't made a statement of Mount Smart going into the finals. I think my feeling is it's going to be 30 points to two. Holy! Because I don't care about the tries. All I care about is the defence in this one. We're just going to keep the dragons out of the castle, man.

We're going to just... If you have not listened to Dwight Henwood commentate Rugby League, you've not watched Rugby League. The way you've changed the game and I love it. The passion. It's so good to listen to. If you want some just horrendously biased commentary

with a few very borderline lines that maybe shouldn't be on broadcast television. It's the best. We love the ACC best. SkySport 9. Yes. We're on 9 tonight, and the kickoff's 8pm. This is the best thing about these bloody pirates,

so they come on about two seconds before the game starts. SkySport's got this hour-long lead and then these guys are like, all right, kick off some 10 seconds, let's go. It's so good. Thanks for coming in, bro. Anyway, up the campsite. Up the campsite. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Yesterday, we had a good workout didn't we We had a bloody good workout We had a little joint workout Oh boy tell us about it I know everybody listening can't wait Can't wait Really exercising at the moment Wow

Anyway I had eaten and I was so hungry Afterwards So when I just popped somewhere quick and I was like, I'll just get a little salad or something. Can I just pause proceedings here? Yeah, go ahead. We've had the workout and now we're about to talk about a salad. I would just like to remind you both that it's Friday.

Can I just please? No good story starts with salad. Let you know that I ate the salad and I went home and took Aaron a salad and then we had a bottle of wine and then we went to the pub for dinner. There we go. Now I want to hear about that. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. But you started so good. Roaring start to the day.

And I went in there and there were three employees and no customers. Yeah. And I was like, can I get this please? And they were like, yep. And then I went off to the side waiting for it and I was on my phone for a bit and then I looked over and I was still chatting and I was like, can I get this, please? And they were like, yep. And then I went off to the side waiting for it, and I was on my phone for a bit. And then I looked over, and I was still chatting,

and I was like, okay, they haven't started my salad. Yeah. Chatting about the salad, but God, we have not started it, have we? And then I was on my phone for a little bit more, and then they were sort of messing around with the salad. And then I just said, and I didn't want this to come across

as passive aggressively, did my order come through? It's my order. I mean, they literally took it. Yeah, it's my order. Did you get my,

you've got my order, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. And then I see on, there's two women and then one younger woman. Yeah. So three women in total.

Yeah. That's a private school education right there in play. Good maths. And the young one had woman. Yeah. So three women in total. Yeah. That's a private school education right there in play. Good maths. And the young one had trainee. Oh, okay. I was like, I see what's happening. They're teaching her how to make this for me.

Yep. I was like, that's fine. She can take a little bit longer. Took six. Yeah, because when you see someone has a trainee badge, you're like, well, you know, that's. How else are you going to learn? You've got to learn on the job.

I get it. It's like seeing someone with a learner's plate on their car. You get right up their ass, you flash your lights, you put the pressure on because you have to learn under pressure. Pressure creates diamonds. Exactly. I do do that as well. You need to know when I'm this close to you, you've got to pull over, bud. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? I'm helping you here. Remember when you were learning to drive? I was instantly good at it. Anyway.

I had my mother doing that to me in the car. Oh, did you? Yeah. Screaming, grabbing things. What are you going to do? Hand on the handbrake. That's a crazy way to teach your son to drive. And just giving a little jolt every now and then.

Yep. It's been out of control. Anyway, trainee. And I was like, I understand why this is taking so long. And then she gave it to me. And it was all sort of like spilling out, and it didn't close, and the fork, and then she was like, sorry. And I was like, oh, God, sorry for what? Then I never wait.

I got in my car, and I was like, I'm going to hoon a couple of bites before I start driving. Okay, one, where's the chicken? Okay. I think I got two cubes. I think Aaron got one. Two, where'd the dressing think Aaron got one. Two, where'd a dressing? That thing dry.

Oh yeah. That thing was dry. That cheap lettuce alternative. What is it called? Mescaline. Oh yeah, I hate that. It tastes nutty, doesn't it? It's got a nutty taste. It's so dry. It's yuck. So dry. Three, where'd a salt and pepper at? It was

the worst salad I've ever had. So you had a box of mescaline. I had a box of dry mescaline and two cubes of chicken. Well, that's the trainee's fault. Well, she did apologise, to be fair. And then I got home and I gave Aaron his and I was like, by the way, it sucks. And he went in and he was like, where's the chicken? Yeah, you should have stopped him.

And then you get a bachelor's handbag. So then you can, you know, add your own chop. But I've already paid for two salads. Yeah, no, I don't pay for salads. Anyway. That's my rule. I don't pay for salads. Nah, fair enough.

If you go out for lunch and someone's like, yeah, I'm going to get this salad, I'm like, we are out. You can make that at home and a better one and probably cheaper. Anyway, look, it is what it is, but training, you know, I've had my run-ins with trainees before. You never want to see it is what it is, but training, you know, I've had my run-ins with trainees before.

You never want to see it in a beauty salon, I'll give you that. I will tell you that. Gosh, you've made these brows a bit thin, haven't you? But the people have got to start somewhere. I know. We've all been trainees at one stage. We've all been trainees. At one stage.

Yeah, I'm still really a radio trainee every now and then. I say the F word And I learn that That's not allowed Yeah and other words And I've said a few Other words We're working I uh

When I gave blood once I think we talked about this Yes I had the trainee The trainee Phlebotomist Phlebotomist Like missed the vein

And tried twice And then had to get The supervisor Train on your own arm Trainee And these are These are good arms You can see the veins from their horn.

Fantastic heroin addict if it ever, you know, came up. It's an extreme to hit the blues like that. Yeah, look, they're all there. And she couldn't even get it in twice. Well, perhaps we could take some calls and get some messages in of when you messed up as a trainee. How bad was it? Okay. Maybe you were a trainee waxologist.

Forklift driver. And you dropped everything. Dropped everything. Well, no, the forklift, people have to lift the bladders and they just slightly misdo the height and put the fork right through the bladder. That's just good stuff. Wine everywhere.

It's a huge floor suck. Yeah, but then you have to get a license before you even get on one of those, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, look, we've all been there. Hey, hey, yep. Wink, wink, Yeah. Well, look, we've all been there. It's in my wallet somewhere.

We've all been there. When did you mess up as a trainee? If people don't want to admit their mistakes as a trainee, will we take calls from people that have had a trainee? Yeah, done dirty by a trainee. Have you been done dirty by a trainee? I'll accept. 0800 DALZM is our number.

Give us a call now. You can text through 9696. When did you mess up as a trainee or when did a trainee mess you up? Play ZM's

Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. I had a terrible salad made for me yesterday by a trainee and look, it's not their fault. They've got to learn.

But I suffered. You said there was two cubes of chicken? Two cubes of chicken. First of all, gross, that chicken even comes in a cube. Well, I don't mean cubes. I mean chunks. Chunks of chicken. Yeah.

But that would be what they were told to put in there. I feel a bit sorry for them. But will they get fired if they just go ham? Yeah. I don't want ham. I don't want ham. I just meant hard-out chicken. I love it at the Dombery Bowl

when you get the person that works there versus the person that runs the franchise or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they're always stingy with the condiments and the chicken and stuff. I used to always do that at Pitter Pit, be like, more, more, more, more, more onion, more mushroom. Or just like bully them.

More, more, more. Cheese? More of that, more of that. You say when. More, more, more. They can't shut the, more of that. You say when. More, more, more. They can't shut the Peter. They can't fold it at the end. You're like, oh, well.

More, more, more. Look, I want to know when you as a trainee stuffed up, because, you know, it happens, or when you were dealt with by a trainee. Zoe, were you the trainee or on the receiving end? I was on the receiving end. And what was the service they were providing you? Ear piercing?

Nope. No. Don't trainee. They need to pierce their own ears. How does a trainee learn, though, without pork? Yeah. Or like tattooing. Yeah, don't they train on pork skin because it's similar to humans?

You could pierce a pig's ear. Well, they trained on Zoe instead. How badly did it go? It was a gun. I got my second low piercing done and they put the dots on. I checked and they were all good. And then she did it

and she missed the dots on one of my ears. How bad is it? How close is it to the first hole? It's further away. Oh, it's too far. Oh, no. No, every time you look at it, you just feel like, did you get it redone?

I haven't. I've let it heal. So you've just got janky ear holes. Nah, you can't be having that. It'll scab over. No, but then she can't get one slightly lower because it's going to be one big hole. Oh, it'll open up.

Unless you make giant earrings to cover the scar. Thanks, you call. Anonymous, do you got a trainee? I did indeed. Okay, and what was this for? A bikini line wax. No. I'm in the balloon.

Were you a hairy Mary down there? Because you'd think they'd give the trainees a slightly less hairy person to work their way up to deforestation. I'd been going to somebody else for a little while, but I was helping out my friends because it was their clinic. Right. They had someone new who'd done their training but wasn't new on the job. So I just gave it a go and almost cried through the appointment.

Wax the right temperature? Where did they really go wrong? Yeah, kind of in the senses part, right down kind of, you know, under your legs. But it was the pulling. It wasn't held tight. So as they rip. You've got to pull it taut. You've got to pull it taut.

You've got to hold it tight. Because if you rip like that, the skin comes up. Yeah, no. Okay, yeah, no. I was bruised for a week. Thank God it was just a bikini wax and not the full brazzy. Yeah. That was what I thought the whole way through it.

Was this free? Were you paying because it was your friend's place? It was a small discount, but, yeah, I was paying. Yeah, it wasn't really the discount, was it? No. Anonymous, thank you. Ellie, you were a student nurse, I was paying. Yeah, it wasn't really the discount, was it? No. Anonymous, thank you. Ellie, you were a student nurse. I was.

So you were the trainee. I was the trainee, yes. And we had a death on the ward, an elderly lady who died. So the nurse sent me in to put the false teeth in. Because if you don't get them in in the first 20 minutes, there's no chance you're going to get the teeth in Oh because rigor mortis. Yeah yeah they just stiffen up and you can't get them back in so I struggled and struggled and I got them in and I put a pillow under her chin to hold her mouth shut and I came back out of the room to find her daughter coming back in to look

for her false teeth that she'd left on the table because she had a mouth ulcer and she'd taken her teeth out and the mum had no teeth. Deb, please. Oh, no. Wait, could you get them out? I surprised these teeth out of this woman's mouth and she was a mess.

She was a mess. She was a mess! Oh my god. Oh my god, that is the funniest thing ever. Oh my god. Did you give them a rinse? I gave them a rinse and gave them back. I never told her what had happened. Imagine if she hadn't come back in time though

and the rigor mortis had set in and they were stuck in there. They were stuck in there. And they were stuck in there. You pushed the false teeth in on top of teeth. No, no. The lady had no teeth. She never had any teeth

for years apparently but we just assumed false teeth on the side must belong to her in the gulf. Oh my God. Oh my God. Okay, so that makes

it a little bit easier. But then false teeth are like, I didn't know this until recently, really specifically made to fit. Yes, every rivet of the roof of your mouth is unique. Yeah.

Oh, my God, Ellie, that is so brilliant. That is absolutely brilliant. Thank you, Matt. You were the trainee? Yes, I was the trainee. Trainee for Flip Driver. Oh, yes. Why don't you put it through? Why don't you put it through?

Why don't you put it through? I just had a massive pallet of chicken and managed to have the sprinkler with it, which then set off the sprinkler, destroyed $7,000 worth of chicken, and caused the whole factory to be evacuated. Whoa, wait, wait. Are the chickens alive? No, no. It was all, like, frozen. Processed. Oh, no.

And why? Because is the sprinkler water not up to standard? Oh, it's disgusting. Like, it's, like, black because it just sits on the pipes forever. Oh, my God. I never thought about how gross sprinkler water would be. Well, it doesn't need to be. It would just sit. Yeah. Oh, just sit. Yeah.

Oh, my God. Did you lose your job, Matt? Best part of it was that my dad was the general manager of the factory. Oh, thank God. And I had to call him and tell him what happened. Oh, no, that's good. That's family. It's good to be a Nepo baby, isn't it?

It works great. Especially in the chicken industry. Matt, thank you. Some messages in. Working at a supermarket, I scanned a few things twice by accident or when I didn't know the product code, I just put it in the bag and they get it for free.

Sorry. That all evens out in the end though. Yeah. That all evens out. If you're scanning things twice and some not at all, I'm sure it'll all even out. Boop. Did that work?

Boop. Boop. I think that's in now. I was a trainee at Mitre 10, and I accidentally gave away a $3,000 clothesline, but because it never got scanned, they couldn't tell what checkout it had gone through. Oh, I love that. And they were like, it's impossible.

No one could have stolen this. It's too big. And I just sat there quietly, knowing I'd obviously buggered up scanning the exact clothesline someone had bought that day. Oh, my God. My friend was training to be a beautician, so I kindly let her wax my chest. I've never bled so much in my life.

I'm still traumatized. Oh, no, no, no, no. I can't watch the scene from 40-Year-Old Virgin. Yeah. I bet. I bet. I had a trainee nurse to do my smear test. Now, nope. You've got to learn. Yeah, you've got to learn. I had a trainee nurse do my smear test now

nope you gotta start somewhere yeah you gotta learn I let her have what I would describe as a pretty hands on look at my cervix for about 15 minutes

before I said okay I think you should perhaps go and get the person who's in charge of your training guys I cannot tell you what it's like

to be prodded in the cervix it's a lot it's like getting kicked in the guts and you're like that feeling where you're like, ugh. That feeling where it just... You're just like, what is that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where am I feeling that pain? Yeah. Yeah. I don't usually feel that. What is that? Yeesh. Oh no.

Oh my God, trainee hairdressers. I'll do you one more. Trainee for a cosmetic tattoo artist. Nope. I got my eyebrows tattooed on and it hurt. Not too bad a shape, but then it all went septic and flaked off.

So thankfully, the tattooed eyebrows are gone now. Oh, thank God they flaked off. So they can't have gone deep enough. No. And they're not super permanent, so thank God. Oh, my God. Wow. Joining us via the magic of telecommunication over the internet is Charlie Puth.

Hello. Hello. Now, let's talk about the new single, Lipstick. The video is out. It's horny. It's horny. It's horny. That's not the music video. I know that because

I'm working on it right now. It's like... What have we got horny over? Yeah, you're getting that on a what is in label terms called the visualizer. Oh, right.

The official audio going along with the imagery. Well, we used to call that a music video back in my day. You know the video part where the music plays and then a video happens? So this is the precursor to the music video. Yeah, it's just a way for me not to

put up a, slap a picture of my face and be like, official audio. It's just something maybe 10% more interesting. Well, I'd give it a bit more than 10%, to be honest. I know. We had to bloody pick our producer Shannon up off the floor when she watched your visual. Oh, hell yeah.

She's a, yeah. She's a big fan. She's even curled her hair, even though she's curled her hair today, knowing we were interviewing you, even though she's not on camera. Would you like, can we just bring her in so you can see her curled hair?

Yeah, come on. Get her to show up her curled hair? Yeah, come on. Get her to show up your curled hair. Oh, Jesus. Don't run too quick, Shannon. You'll hurt yourself. Say hi. You take my headphones

and say hi to Charlie. Do you have any questions? She's a big fan, Charlie. Hi, Charlie. Hello. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. Put your lips to the mic, darling.

It's the closest you're going to get. Hey, Charlie. Oh my God, this is embarrassing. I've embarrassed myself. Okay, I'll hand you back over. That's cute. Thanks, Charlie. Love your work.

She acted about as cool as I did when I met Jason Momoa. Thank you. To be fair, I'd be the same way if I met Jason Momoa. You haven't met Jason Momoa. The dude's huge. He's huge. Actually, spending a lot of time in New Zealand as well. Yeah, are you planning on doing the same, Charlie?

Are you going to come our ways and hang out with us? Well, you're here in November. Are you going to stay longer? Because I remember you've been here before. Yeah, I was there for about five hours before. I didn't have enough time to really take in the air. That's the perfect amount of time to be in New Zealand. We're pretty small. Everybody says you don't need to spend any time to really take in the air. That's the perfect amount of time to be in New Zealand. We're pretty small.

Everybody says you don't need to spend any time really engaging with the beautiful nature. Well, I don't know what, in the UK it's Deliveroo and we have Postmates out here with all these food delivery services. It's sometimes so much easier than to find parking. How much takeaways are we eating? I'm looking at the bot here in this horny not music video, music video. This is a body that has required sculpting.

Please don't tell me this comes naturally without any effort. Oh, don't say that. It's no fun. It's no pizza, no indulgences. It's all fistful of protein and fistful of vegetables. I got sad. I was like, I can't believe it. I'm like, I immediately after

that video, visualizer, not music video, we got you, we got you. After it was done, I immediately ate a cheese steak. You should do, because I've got a diet that I tried earlier this year and you could say it was successful. It's called Not Giving a Shit and

you said fistful. I did fists full of just anything i wanted yeah and then you gain a bunch away and then um you just deal with it later that's i i guess i i'm definitely taking that motto uh for now and just you know maybe i don't need to be so shirtless in the next visualize or not music video well that's the thing you're more prone to being shirtless than probably I am. I get fun things like boobs and bums, but you'd just get a belly and sort of a bit flubbery, I guess. I'll put the white t-shirt on from now on.

Although I am enjoying some healthy papayas right now. Oh, that's a good one. That'll go right through you though. Is that how it works? Yeah. I got lime on here too. I'm sure that citrus won't help me either. You squeeze the lime on the papaya.

Yeah. You squeeze the lime on the papaya and zest up the papaya. Yeah, it's great stuff. Keeps it fresh. Yeah, sounds good. Now we've mentioned your first single, but tell us about the album, which is due soon. Sorry, you're mid-mouthful of papaya. I apologise. Oh my god, it was only $17 US too.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Can you believe that? That wasn't for the radio. That was actually the price of food. Oh, dude, we can believe it. The price of food in New Zealand is horrendous. It's up there.

Wild. But the album, this is, Lipstick is basically setting the musical groundwork of what people can expect the rest of the record to sound like, the album to sound like. Because I will admit it is a little bit of a left turn from the last album. But it's just, if you find this interesting at all, I'm not using any headphones to record any of these songs. It's all making the instrumental, making the beat, and then just turning the... That's how Michael always recorded his music in Westlake.

He made the music really, really low, and it felt like a performance more than just getting every note perfect. I mean, I go flat on a lot of these songs. The vocals aren't perfect, but it's more real. I like that. I like that a lot. Not so heavily manufactured.

True arts. I really respect that. As a true artist myself, I play the piano. That's good. What is your favorite thing to play on the piano? Chopin. Chopin's nocturnes, any of them. Mostly C sharp minor.

A nocturne in C sharp minor? I thought you were going to say some shit like Mary Had a Little Lamb. That's great.es, any of them. Mostly C-sharp minor. Nocturne and C-sharp minor? I thought you were going to say some shit like Mary Had a Little Lamb. That's great. Oh, no, no, no. I'm the real deal, Charlie. Or A Thousand Miles, Vanessa Carlton. Oh, don't you dare insult me like that. What a beautiful song.

The best thing you've ever played on a piano. Yes, I can play it, but I refuse to at parties. Don't even ask me. Everyone's always asking for A Thousand Miles at parties. It's a great song. It's a greatand Miles It's a great song When you come to New Zealand, maybe you could get on the vocals And I could hop on the piano And we'll delight the masses by playing A Thousand Miles

I thought you were going to say Maybe when you make it to New Zealand You can make your way downtown running fast Homebound Well you're here 4th of November. When can we expect the full horny music video and the album? Well, no, he hasn't promised that it's going to be a horny music video.

I was going to ask, is the music video even more horny than the precursor? Oh, right. Does it tone down the horniness? Well, I have such an exciting answer to that. You're just going to have to watch it. No! Shut up. But I actually think

it'd be a bit more tame. But it's a there's more to it than just that. It's really about putting this song out to show that I've not evolved from the last album, but I'm just, I want to be capable of

making different music. My biggest fear is sounding like, oh, Charlie had a hit last year, hits last year. He's just copying what he did last year. I'd rather sound like a different artist every year. Well, I hope it does really well because you're buying $17 papayas. You're cheap. Someone's going to pay for those.

I should always look at the price first. The receipt popped up right before this came on and I gasped. Well, I hope they were worth it, Charlie. So good. Yeah, so good. Awesome. Hey, we'll see you in New Zealand soon. Thanks so much for talking to us this morning.

Thank you for taking the time. I really appreciate it, guys. Appreciate you. See you later, dude. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. It's the final ranking. We do this every Friday. Normally it's kind of food stuff, isn't it?

Normally. I think next week we'll do type of fries, crinkle cuts. I thought we were going to do instant puddings this week. Yeah, we've also got that banked up. But I don't eat instant puddings. I can't play. But you must have used to put it in your mouth. No, my mum would always make us

a nice homemade crumble. It must be nice, darling. With a tin peach or perhaps a rhubarb. Oh, you should make a peach crumble. Today, though, I think this is going to get quite heated. Yep.

Yep. We're going to do electrical, what do you call them, sockets or plugs? Yeah, international electrical plugs. Can we, out the gate, start by saying the UK has the worst sockets... It sucks.

...in the whole world. Three flat prongs, and it's like the size of your hand. So booty. So booty. So booty. Because, you know, when you go to, like, a Catman do or whatever, and you get your adapter or you get your plugs, you're just like, what?

The UK one is twice the size of anyone else. I like to leave that purchase at the airport so I'm paying an absolute premium. Yeah, beautiful. Forget it. Yeah, yeah. Now, I have a few, what's the European? Two dots.

Two perfect prongs. So that's the C type. If it's circular with two circular prongs. Yes. Because I have a couple of European lights that need a full-time adapter. It's wiggly. It doesn't have enough. It doesn't grab you.

Next time your spark is around, get him to change the hands. He's got enough on his hands. Like rigging my whole house. Good luck with your wiggly burn down. I do. And then you wibble or wobble or you move your bedside table. But it's the same

as the two prong American. What I love about, and I think that the American and used in a lot of Central and South America, the two pins, they're little. And a lot of their cords are little and it's better for space. And they can fold down, eh? Yeah. You can are little, and it's better for space.

And they can fold down, eh? Yeah. You can fold it down and then fold up the pins, but then that doesn't, to me, because they're straight up and down, they're two vertical pins, they can wobble out. Yeah. Yes, they wobble. I love, call me patriotic, I just love owls.

New Zealand owls. New Zealand's super area. Because it goes in and because of its angle, it holds itself in better than the American straight ups. Yeah. But again, our plums can be bold down. They can be big, yeah. Yeah, and I only like the two ones, not the three ones. Yeah, same.

If we don't need the grounding at the bottom there, if I don't need it, I don't want it. How good does it feel? I like a two as well, absolutely fine. If I don't need it, I don't want it. How good does it feel? I like a two as well. Absolutely fine. But when you get a three, it just... Ever had a little tickle when you're trying to get a power point in at night and you put your fingers on the two prongs

until they line them up with a hole in the wall and then you take them out and push them in but you didn't quite get it out enough? No. A little pop. The Japanese ones are silly. Two skinny, like, slots. Almost like the European one, but lines, two lines.

Like the American? Is that the American one? A little bit like the American one. Yeah, a little bit like the American. There's an L-type. But skinnier. I found this website, and you can literally, like, click on different countries, and it tells you what one they use. Well, that's good if you're travelling places.

There's an L-type one, and it's from South America, like Chile, and it's three prongs and a straight line and they go in vertically. Yes. What? See, that's hot. That's hot. I've never seen that one before. That's pretty hot. Where is that?

Chile. We must go. What, just for the electrical sockets? Yeah. We should go for the socket. Is it European that have, like, when you put it in, it kind of goes into the whole thing. So, yeah.

I don't like those. That's one of the types. Yeah. Yeah. That is the F type, I believe. It's circular, and you push it in, and it goes into an actual indentation before the pins can connect.

And sometimes they'll go click, and click and hold itself in. See, it's nice. I like the click and hold itself in. But then on the wall, when there's not a socket in it, it's an eyesore. Whereas New Zealand ones, like, they're I like the click and hold. It's our fun. But then on the wall, when there's not a socket in it, it's an eyesore. Whereas New Zealand ones, like, they're just not much going.

Small. Okay, I'm going to go American, New Zealand, Europe. Someone said, I've just turned in, wanted to talk about a lot of talk about prongs facing different ways and just jamming them in. We're talking about our, we're ranking. Electrical sockets. Electrical sockets around the world.

Georgia, you've just been travelling. Do you have a favourite one? Did you like Europe? Yeah, you were in Europe for the most part. You were just in Europe. You didn't stop going on about being in Europe. What was your favourite there? Yeah, so I just got back from Europe.

Yeah, we know. Well, I went to Bali a year and a half ago, so, you know. What PowerPoints were in the Louis Vuitton store when you dropped an insane amount of money on an official Louis Vuitton wallet? Vaughan. Wow. Did you check the PowerPoints?

Exposed. Vaughan. You weren't even allowed in one store, eh? They told you there was no appointments. They looked at her and they're like, you can't afford what's in here. Excuse me, ma'am. That's my favourite story from your whole trip.

Please leave. Damn it. Okay. Do you like the Euro plug? Do you care about what plugs I like or not now? Yeah. I prefer the European one. To New Zealand.

Oh, no. Wait. New Zealand's number one. New Zealand's number one because you just have one plug that goes in. You don't have to add like multiple different layers. What? What? We're not talking about putting an adapter on it.

We're just talking about using it. Which is aesthetically pleasing. Well, either one. Look, I don't care. She doesn't care. She doesn't care. Turn off your mic. Nobody cares about Friday rankings.

That's why it's fun. We get really angry at each other for not agreeing on a very silly issue. The American plug over the European or the New Zealand? Oh, sweetheart, I haven't been to America. Can I make a vote for the African one? It's upside down. It's got one hole on top, two on the bottom. No, absolutely not.

That's booty, though. That's as booty as the British one. No, the British one's dumb. See, there are so many kinds. I like the little one. I'm What C? See, there are so many kinds. I like the little ones. Okay, I'm going to go American, New Zealand, and European. I'm going to go New Zealand as number one,

followed by Australia as number two because it's the same. Yep. And in last place is the UK. Third, I'm going to go African. You've never had one. I'm going to go first, New Zealand. You've never had an African. Never had an African. It's a big body plus. One, New African. I've never had one. I'm going to go first, New Zealand. You've never had an African? Never had an African.

It's a big body plus. One, New Zealand. I love it. It's simple. It's got the strength to hold it in there. Two, American. The two, because it can fold down and it's very minimalist. Yep.

And then third has got to be Chile's three prongs and a skinny line straight vertically. It is sexy. Yeah, it's a sexy, it'll be a sexy thing to see on the wall. Okay, well there it is. New Zealand wins,

I think. It's your 8 o'clock Taylor song, New Romantics. You need that song, the one at midday and four to win the tickets. You've got to be

the first caller through when that song plays at four o'clock. And if you can't be near your radio, you can stream iHeartRadio, the app, or on your desktop if you're at work. All right. A lot of people sneakily listening. Somebody said to me, and I've finally figured it out. How do I get around the slight iHeartRadio delay? Yeah. Well, you just start calling before the song's even started playing.

Oh, yeah, because the song's like three minutes. Yeah. They're not going to ask you the songs until you get on air. All you've got to do is get through and have an air on the iHeart. So four o'clock, as soon as you hear them talking about it, skip. Well, we've really annoyed the Brian Clint producers, I reckon. Don't care. Yeah, true.

Now, this is a study out of America, and you have to, this is about healthcare, and we have to acknowledge that the healthcare system in America is quite different to ours. It's terrible. And, but we've also talked about going to the doctor in New Zealand is very, very, very expensive. So I guess it kind of relates because 53% of Americans choose to skip going to the doctor because it's just too expensive. Tough times. Well, like everything's going up for everyone.

Yeah. Doctors are the same. Doctor, like medical practices, they've got to pay the power. That's gone up. Yeah. Plasters have gone up. You go to the doctor for your plasters, do you? Those things they put on your tongue have gone up. Do you go to the doctor for your plasters, do you? Bandages and those things

they put on your tongue have gone up. Tongue depressors. God, it must be nice if you've got enough money to go to the doctor when you need a plaster. Those...

And that, like, go around your arm and you're like... Blood pressure. They've gone up. I think they think my arms are skinnier than they are

because they were so too tight. It was too tight. I was like, stop. Yeah, like, that's really full on. I'm quite jacked. You can stop.

But people avoid the doctor for all sorts of reasons. I mean, a lot of people do it. They're embarrassed. If it's something perhaps more intimate. Well, you're putting off the doctor. Is that because of the price? I'm just, I'm playing. I'm playing.

I'm gambling I've been to the doctor once for a penis related issue and I got and I put it off for ages and I finally went and the doctor was like I wouldn't worry about that it'll be gone next day gone I was like if I'd waited one more day I wouldn't have had to show my penis to the doctor

you've only been once for a penis related I suppose yeah because women we're constantly getting a look in there. Yeah. You've got to get your pads. Whereas men, unless something's up, you don't need to. And then prostates, bum, once you start getting that. Yeah.

Are you guys, what's the age for bum checks? I've asked. Every time I go to the doctor, I'm like, you want to have a look? And he keeps saying stop it you've been in once already this week he, she

any of the doctors I try to get a different one every time at the practice just to try to catch one on the back foot and they say yes but they said at my age

if there's no symptoms then no so I don't think we're in the danger zone yet yeah well I'm avoiding going to the doctor because I can't get my pill unless they weigh me

and take my blood pressure I don't want to have that conversation so they don't like I'm avoiding going to the doctor because I can't get my pill unless they weigh me and take my blood pressure. I don't want to have that conversation. They don't like, they're not going to judge you. No, it's their job to. It's their job to judge you. What are they going to say? Can't be bothered.

They're not going to say, but isn't it better to get the... Yeah, it's always a chat. It's always a chat. They can't be bothered, so you know. Right. We'll see. Us Catholics have a few measures to get around having to get more contraceptive pill. My measures. And it works famously. Look at how small Catholic families are.

Yeah, right. Tiny. Well, look. I want to talk about when you didn't go to the doctor for whatever reason, embarrassment. All the costs now because it's so expensive. And it backfired you know like you went for a peenie related

issue and it cleared itself up literally the next day if you hadn't maybe something like that happened and you let it

get too out of hand and then well this is basically the synopsis of that show embarrassing bodies

where someone's like oh this kind of popped up but I didn't deal with it at the time and then it got a bit far and I was like oh I can't and now i just was too embarrassed so why don't i do it on national television yes because you'll pay for it yeah because you'll

pay for it i didn't go to the doctor because i um when i got shingles i thought they were really ugly full-on pimples because they were on my face so i was like squeezing them and squeezing them and i try to pop them and stuff and I was like, what the hell? And then I finally was like, it really hurts. So I went to the doctor. They're like, that's shingles.

You shouldn't be around people. And I was like, oh, I'll take the week off of uni. And he was like, oh no, you've passed the point. So you were infecting people the whole time.

I was rolling around with my open shingles because I was popping them with my classmates. No, you can only give, you can't give other people shingles. You can only give people chicken pox. Chicken pox, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right, okay. We want to take some calls. 0800 dials at Emma's number. You can text through 9696. When did you avoid going to the doctor for whatever reason, but it backfired and you realised, oh, I should have just gone? I should have gone. 53% of Americans are avoiding going to the doctor because it costs too much.

I'm sure a lot of Kiwi are doing the same. Because it's very, very expensive. Yeah. It's like 80 bucks. Some of them are, yeah. Yeah, I've got a pimple on my butt. Yes. Can you lance me, please? Just not speaking from experience.

That was very specific. Not speaking from experience. That was a very specific example. Not speaking from experience. But we want to know when you avoided going to the doctor and it backfired, when you went like, oh, should have just gone. Should have just gone.

Yeah, it might not even be the price. It's just you were, maybe you were embarrassed or you were just like. It'll sort itself out. Yeah. It'll come right. Got to chop it off. So many calls and texts.

Joe, when did you avoid going to the doctor? So this is actually my fiancee, not me. Okay. She is terrible at going to the doctor. She had like an ear infection and been complaining about a sore ear for, I'd say, about a week. Yeah. And she just put it off. And so we're actually musicians. So we had a gig out in the middle of the country for someone's 21st,

and we're wearing in-ear monitors so that we can hear ourselves on stage. By the end of the gig, she took the in-ear monitors out, and it started, like, oozing out her ears. Ooh! She took the in-ear monitors out, and it started, like, oozing out her ears. Oh, yeah. For the whole gig, she was, like, complaining about ear pain, and then it was just chronically, like, hurting, and she was getting a bit of, like, a headache with it, and the glands around the ears were kind of, like, swelling up.

Oh, God. Oh, no. I would have been at the doctor's like a week before. Straight away. Like, I would have been a sign of anything. A week ago, I told her, go see the doctor. They'll give you some eardrops. And she's like, no, no, it'll be all right.

Wait, so even after the gooey expulsion on stage and the screaming headache, she was still like, I'll be okay? Yeah, she was like, oh, I think I'll just go home and rest. And I said, nah, you're going to the ER. So I had to pack up all the music here. Like we're doing subs, PAs, like mixes and everything. So one of the other bandmates drove her to the hospital, to the ER. And they're like, yep, you got an infection.

Here's some antibiotics and some eardrops. And then she'll clear it up. Cleared up in three days. And the price that she paid was straight after a gig. She, at 1 o'clock in the morning, goes to the hospital and didn't get home till like 6 a.m. 6 a.m.? Yeah.

Whereas if you had just gone to the doctors. I haven't had a really good sleep. I sleep like a log. You're loving rubbing this in. I think Joe dropped a bit of an I told you so. Heavy I told you so. Heavy. Leo, this was your partner, kept putting off the doctor?

He sure did. So he had a piece of metal in his arm, and it got a bit red and infected. Hang on, how did he get it? Did he know that he had the metal in his arm and it got a bit red and infected. Hang on. How did he get it? Did he know that he had the metal in his arm? No. No.

He worked in construction. He just returned from NAM. He's a typical bloke. Yeah. Okay. So he's like, it'll be sweet. It's all good.

Anyway, he started getting like quite ill. This is a number of years ago. Yeah. He ends up in hospital with blood poisoning. Oh. Like colon septicemia. Oh no a number of years ago. Yeah. He ends up in hospital with blood poisoning.

Like, full-on septicemia. Oh, no. Everything. Oh, dude. He could lose his arm. Yeah, yeah. So he ended up, like, losing feeling to the arm and damaging the nerves, needing, like, acupuncture. And, like, full-on needling. He's, like, got a massive scar there now.

Because they can't be told. They can't be told. Body's wild, though. Iling. He's like got a massive scar there now. Because they can't be told. They can't be told. They can't be told. The body's wild though. I know. The body's wild. It's like that's not meant to be here. Attack it with everything we've got.

But sir. Yeah, pretty much. We'll lose the arm. Attack it. So how big was this piece of metal? They obviously got it out. Tiny. Tiny.

Tiny piece of metal. But the body doesn't like it. It doesn't want it. Like maybe the size of your fingernail. That's a big ass piece of metal. But the body doesn't like it. It doesn't want it. Like, maybe the size of your fingernail? Oh! Okay, that's a big-ass piece of metal. That's a big-ass piece of metal. I was expecting a tiny splinter.

Leah, thanks for your call. Some messages. I fell asleep, bought a hot water bottle and burnt my leg. The burn was bad, but it started to look all right, and I was like, oh, that must be healing now. Ended up going to the doctor. Turned out the skin was necrotic and dying. I've had three months of hospital visits to try to resolve the fact.

Yeah, don't put it off. Get in there. Oh, my gosh. He's cooked your leg. Oh, no. My husband had a sinus thing going on, ignored it, started getting really sick, finally went to the doctor.

It had developed into pneumonia. Oh, okay. Mile of the story is listen to your wife. Yes. You don't want pneumonia. Pneumonia. You've't want pneumonia. Penumnia. You've got penumnia. Stomach pain.

Now, this is probably the one we've had the most. Stomach pain, but I was like, oh, it's just something weird, indigestion. Need to poop. Something I don't like. Need to poop. Have a quickies. Ignore it. Ignore it.

Burst appendix. Oh, yes. They can kill you. They can kill you. Yeah. Because it poisons you, eh? Yeah. Oh.

I had a growth on my titty. Their word, not mine. I had a growth on my titty. Left it for years thinking I just had a third nipple. Eventually went in and had it cut off. Turned out it was some form of elephant man disease. What? Elephantitis.

Yeah. And then I refused to go to the doctor because I had bad heartburn. Because heartburn's embarrassing. It just meant I ate too fast. Finally went days later because it turned into not being able to breathe properly and I had clots in my lungs. Is this the same person? That's the same person.

Goodness. Oh, my gosh. Didn't go to the doctor for an itchy mole. Oh, no, no, no. Do not tango with an itchy mole. Lumps, moles. It was so itchy, got the constant itch. The doctor Googled it.

Then looked at it and was like, what you might have is melanoma skin cancer. It was stage three melanoma. Damn close to losing my life. That is not to be taken lightly. We'll never skip a doctor. Now, don't ignore a mole. Does your doctor have, can you see their computer screen?

Yes. Because if I was a doctor, it would be more like sit across from the desk. Sit across from the desk. So that they couldn't see me Googling. What's wrong with them? The doctor's office where the desk is in the corner and you sit at one end of the desk and you can see straight

into the screen. Yeah. Turn around. You can't Google with your patient there. I'm just checking things on my phone. I'm okay to be over here. Lump on titty. Itchy. Itchy. Itchy.

Titty. Gross mole. I had an ingrown toenail. It was becoming problematic. Didn't want to go to the doctor, so I asked my dad what I should do. He's a surgeon. He said I could wait and see if it grows out or he can sort it. So two Panadol and a light soak later, I was biting a towel and he cut vertically down

my toe with some nails. It was so painful. Why would you read that out? Why would you read that? It's Friday. I'm just a towel and he cut vertically down my toe with some nails as his soles were so painful. Why would you read that out? Why would you read that? It's Friday. I'm just trying to have a nice day. Why would you read that out? Where is his dad a surgeon? 1800 Civil War battlefield? So I put my teeth around a leather belt.

And he told me to bite down and I passed out from the pain and when I woke up I was in a canvas tent. I feel dizzy. Oh my god, I feel dizzy. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day. Now this is fascinating to me. Well, we'll be the judge of this.

Please be the judge of that. Today's fact of the day is about England's sinking churches. Oh, no. Really old. Oh, no. We know Venice is sinking. That's sinking because they decided to build a floating city on a bog land. Yes.

They didn't really think too much about this. This is really old English churches, which there are many of. Some of the first buildings in England were churches, smaller churches out for villages etc and they've been around for so long that if you see photos of them the ground around the church is higher than the lowest stone of the church. Oh dear. Now for a long time people thought they're heavy, they're made of stone, they've been around for a long

time and just it will be the subsiding of the ground underneath as they sink in. They didn't know a lot about foundations when they were laying them. Yeah, did they not do nice deep concrete piles? Foundation, they did. Because the churches aren't sinking. The ground around the church is building. It's rising, it's coming up. Because, this, okay, side

fact. You're really into this. Cremation only became legal in England in 1902. Are ya? You couldn't cremate before that. You had to be buried. You legally had to be buried. And you had to be buried in consecrated ground.

And the only place that was, was church. Right. Around churches and villages. Oh, the bodies, the bodies, the bodies are making the ground rise. So keep in mind, there might be churches that have been around for a thousand years.

Yeah. And in that parish, say the average population is 600 people. And so around about every century, 2,000 adults will die, not taking into the fact child mortality, which was high back in the day. And so they would dig a hole and bury them.

Not always in coffins, but sometimes. And coffins only recently have become a bit more durable. Before that, there wasn't the resource to waste on a hard mahogany coffin that would... Silk lined. Yeah, that would last longer. By the way, I'm having Bluetooth speakers in mine. Have I told you about that?

Oh, are you going to talk to us? Or you want to listen to the music? Just for music. Are you going to have some neon lights underneath? Yes. So when we're lowering you in, you look like a... You look like a Mitsubishi GSR. Yes.

Me and Warner, like like dancing with the ropes. I love this. Lights underneath. It's really fun. Some spinning hubs. Yeah. Also me assuming that you're going to die

so early that me and Vaughn are still physically capable to lower it down and have a little party He'll be lowering us in if we face facts. We'll be lowering you in and then you'll be

lowering me in. Fletch is probably class. And then Fletch will be all by himself That's the way I want to go I want to go first So I don't have to miss anybody Yeah same I want to die before everyone What is that Winnie the Pooh thing? Where I live to be a hundred

I hope you live to be a hundred and one days So I don't have to spend a day without you Is that the Winnie the Pooh thing? My heart It's Winnie and Oh my heart Oh my heart. My heart. It's Winnie and... Oh, my heart. Oh, my heart.

Oh, my heart. Oh, piccolette. So, back to my stats. So, you're basically burying 2,000 adults every century. Yeah. And the century there's been 10 of them. So, there's 20,000 bodies in this area. So, effectively, you're just making a bigger compost heap.

Yeah, and it's growing. Yeah, right. And it breaks down into. Yeah, and it's growing. Yeah, right. And it breaks down into the earth, but it's not spreading out. It pushes up because it's the path of least resistance.

Yes, of course. So old English churches, if you ever see one, and it appears that it's sinking, it's not sinking. The ground around the church is rising.

Because of all the, yeah. Because of all the bodies and they just keep putting them in there. That was a grim fact of the day. Really grim. When I was a kid, of the day. It was really grim. When I was a kid, I didn't like cemeteries and death and stuff,

but now that I'm older, cemeteries fascinate me. Oh, you know what? Okay, I've got a question to ask. Yes. Okay. Have you seen the TikToks and the channels that go around

and clean old graves and tell you the story of the person? Tell the story of who it was. Would it be weird if I started doing that? Yes. No. I think so. I'm absolutely seeing this

fitting into your aesthetic. Especially when your own driveway needs a water blast. What? Whoa-wee. I'm just saying, get your own stones in order before you go

water blasting some dead granny from 1840. Yeah. It has been noted. It's been noted. It's been noted. It has been noted. It's been noted there's a bit of moss and mildew. That's what I'm saying. It has been noted. It's been noted. It's been noted. It has been noted.

There's a bit of moss and mildew. That's awesome. It has been noted. So today's fact of the day is English churches are not sinking. The ground around them is rising. Fact of the day, day, day, day, Fletch has really encouraged me back to my journey of health. That made it sound like you were like, hey. Like I was like, whoa, boom, boom, walking through the room.

No, he doesn't do that. But we used to do gym classes together and I got unfit, man. I just took a break off of fitness. When you've been very sidetracked with your renovations. Totally, no, no regrets. It's been fun, but I've wanted to feel fit again. And those classes are amazing. So I was like, coming back to these classes, having a great time.

The best part about it is when you come out of these classes and you talk about them. It's so good. Everybody who wasn't at the class is like, wow, tell me more. What's it called? Wow, what happens? We started with sled pushes and then we went and then we did no, the good thing was that yesterday's workout

was a partner's workout. So you pair up and you kind of like switch and you're with each other the whole time. But Fletch was running late because he had to pop home. And then this sort of person was next to me. And then they didn't move when Fletch arrived. So we were like, oh, we're not partners anymore. The besties got separated. Well, the teacher said you're talking too much in class.

I did say to Hayley, save me a place. I tried. I tried. I tried. I panicked. I'm too nice. I was like, yeah, you can go there. Anyway, so we got separated to the other side of the room.

And then the person I was with was really nice as well. But it meant that I was sort of like surrounded by strangers and my suffering. Because Fletch is much fitter than I. And sometimes that motivates me. And sometimes it annoys me. And sometimes it's great for me because I get more of a rest. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

When he's with me, because I'm slower. Anyway, I ended up being near this woman who was there with her friend or trainer, I think. And they were really having a great time. They were having a lot of fun and I was really picking up on their energy. And at one point she was doing an exercise and she had just paused and was like looking into the depths of hell. And I was on the floor and I had paused looking down into my own depths of hell

and we just caught eyes. She just turns to me and was like I want an effing wine. And I was like, hello soul sister. Yeah. Hey soul sister, ain't you Mr. Mr. on the radio.

The way you move is I didn't really know the chorus of that. That is the chorus. And you clearly didn't. All I know is Hey Soul Sister. Well, that's what I thought when I saw this woman. It was so great. And then I was like, come on.

And so she started moving. And then when she started moving, I started moving again. And then for the rest of the class, we kind of kept catching eyes and laughing about how much we just wanted to leave. She was like, maybe I'll just leave. I was like, maybe I'll just come with you. Should we go get a wine now? Yeah. And it was so nice. At the end of the class, she came up and introduced leave. She was like, maybe I'll just leave. I was like, maybe I'll just come with you. Should we go get a wine now? Yeah. And it was so nice. At the end of the class, she came up

and introduced herself. She was like, I'm JJ. Not a scandal queenie, by the way. You'd know that, though, because she would be wearing her crown. Yeah, she wasn't wearing a crown. Okay, so you knew. There's a scandal on the front. Yeah. And then it was just a beautiful friendship and a beautiful moment. And I really, really enjoyed meeting her. And she was like,

thank you so much for the encouragement. It really helped me get through. And I was was like thank you so much for the encouragement, really helped me get through and I was like thank you so much for the encouragement I was really suffering there and then I said to her as we were leaving she yelled at me like you gonna get a wine? It was 11am in the morning and I was like it's actually a little bit late for me to be getting a wine so I said

next time we'll go get a wine after this class I said I'll see you in the next one. You've made a friend. I've made a friend. Now you know me, I make friends anywhere and everywhere I go. Aw class. I said, I'll see you in the next one. You've made a friend. I've made a friend. You've made a friend. Now, you know me. I make friends anywhere and everywhere I go. Awful. I collect them. Yeah. And it was really nice.

The power. All these wines though, they're really having, you know, like they're only going to make it harder. Sorry? What? What? I think doing a really intense class followed by a glass of wine. It's a painkiller.

It is a painkiller. It eases recovery. You don't know what you're talking about. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Science has worked out that what you see in the mirror

is not what other people see. Two reasons. Pardon me? Oh yeah, it's mirrored. Yeah, it's mirrored. It reversed and you do look different reversed. Like sometimes if you put your, is it a setting? Oh, yeah, it's mirrored. Yeah, it's mirrored. It reversed. And you do look different reversed. Like sometimes if you put your, is it a setting? Oh, it's a setting on Zoom. Yeah.

When you're looking at Zoom and it's mirrored, you can go un-mirror. So it just shows you. And you're like, what happened? I know. But you change it and you look like a different person. There's, I think if you do a selfie in Instagram. Yes. It mirrors that.

But if you just do it on your phone, it flips it. It flips it, yeah. It flips it on the phone. And when it flips it on the phone, I'm like, ooh, what a dog. Don't be so hard on yourself. Instagram. Cute. On the phone, dog. Wait, so you like

the flipped one better? No, the flipped one's worse. Dog. Ready. Dog. Ready? Dog. Cutie. Do you think Instagram's got a bit of a built-in smoother?

Sorry? No, I'm not saying. My eyes are so bad I can't see from here. I am known for my smooth skin. Yeah, I can't see from here. This is interesting. I'm just wondering what else. So the majority of people think they look different than they do.

Yes. And here's the kicker. Yeah. Is that Professor Epley, who did this research, also co-authored a study in how people see themselves and found that people recognize their own faces as being more physically attractive than they actually are. Oh, no.

So if you think we're way uglier than we think we are. Yeah, you're ugly. You're not as hot as you think you are. Yeah. It's depressing, isn't it? It's so depressing. Unless you're one of those people that says it as a compliment, Fish, because you know you're attractive.

Ugly people don't tend to air the issue. Oh, God, I'm so ugly. Oh, my God, I know. You are. Oh, I was fishing. No, but he's talking about when attractive people say it. Oh, yeah. That was a good bit.

Not when mingers profess their mingerness. Yeah. We're like the man speaking the truth. Yeah. You know what? It's nice that you know. Yeah, it's good because it would be so awkward to have to tell them.

You guys keep me grounded and that's what I love about you guys. It's important to keep grounded. Okay. Absolute pack of names. So why do they say this? Is it because we,

the mirror itself or we just don't see ourselves enough? Well, when we see ourself, it's a reflection. It's not what they see. Right? It's a mirror. But it's not even that. It's a bias to It's not what they see, right? It's a mirror.

But it's not even that. It's a bias to one's own face. A bias to your own face? A primal part of the brain to be like, you have to. I mean, it kind of is by definition. They don't use the word arrogance on this, but it is said there is an enhancement bias for one's face. Right.

And a friend's face, but not a stranger's face. Right, so we'd look objectively at a stranger. Because I guess you can associate with your friend, you're like, that is also a person I like. Yeah. So I'll give them a couple of extra points for that minging billboard they got on the front of their head there. Yeah.

That five head. Because I like them. I'll give them the front of their head there. Yeah. That five head. Because I like them. I'll give them a couple of points extra. Oh, the five head. Because I like them. But yeah, you don't give a stranger. So that's why when you don't know someone, you might not be into them,

but then when you get to know them, you find them more attractive as well. You get more attracted to them. Okay. Because you've given yourself the chance to get to know them, you like other things about them, and it adds a couple of bonus points. So be realistic.

Take a couple of points off this weekend. Yeah, yeah. Take yourself down from a 10 to an 8. Yeah. From an 8 to a 6, a 6 to a 4, 4 to a 2. I mean, you know what you are. You know what you're working with already. Just make a slight deflation of it.

I know there's a lot of talk about inflation lately, but we need to deflate those numbers. Oh, I just realised I did the whole show with my headphones on backwards. Well, that means the show's backwards then, isn't it? We're going to have to play this in reverse. Well, should we speak in reverse and hopefully they'll work out the other way? Give us a review.
