The ZM Podcast Network. The Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Good morning, welcome to the show, Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Good morning. I was just looking at our show, all of our information here, our sheets, thinking how cold it is outside. Very cold.

You know, the middle of winter, and then I saw, you know, we're giving you the chance to go on the draw to get somewhere amazing thanks to American Airlines. Here are our three boarding passes today. How does this sound? Rio de Janeiro. Brazil. Barcelona. Oh, I love Barcelona. Barcelona. In Spain.

And Sao Paulo. And Brazil. I've been to all I mean, wow. Barcelona is one of my favourite places. You're going to need some Portuguese or some Spanish in the yard. You will. You will.

Oh, my God. Great places. Well, this morning, between eight and nine, listen out for the activator. If you get through, if you're the first one through, you are in Friday's draw,

and whatever name your boarding pass is on, you're off there with a friend. All expenses paid trip for two. Would be nice. The temperature's a bit weird. Last night I woke up very hot because I was too hot. Air makes the fire too hot at night, so I get too hot. Then I woke up absolutely dripping in sweat. You know when you wake up and you're like, have I wet the bed?

Yeah. 31 degrees in Barcelona. Barcelona. Barcelona. Barcelona. Barcelona. 31. That's nice.

That's hot. Currently Rio, 24 degrees. High of 26. Okay. Yeah, that's nice. That's nice. Well, between 8 and 9 this morning, your chance to get in the draw, all thanks to American Airlines. Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo.

Sao Paulo. Now, this weekend, it's going to be 36 degrees in Mallorca, or Majorca, as I think it's pronounced. So just spare a thought for the contestants of Love Island. I was like, why are we... Oh, Love Island, of course. They're very hot. Are they looking hot on the show?

They are. They're shiny. Yeah. And they're unbearably hot. Are they looking hot on the show? They are. They're shiny. Yeah. And they're unbearably hot. And they keep going to the shady areas. Do you think with climate change and global warming, they're going to have to end up doing Love Island like in... Wellington.

I was meaning like in England. Oh, yeah. Just do it, buddy. Because it's so hot in Spain. Yeah. You got the wildfires in Greece at the moment. Yeah, it's horrendous. We did it, though.

Chaos. Coming up on the show, the top six. Yes. Barbie has had many careers, but with a career comes a student loan. I have the top six student loans that Barbie would have accrued over her many, many careers. Barbie's breaking some records soon.

We'll go through some of these in the New Zealand box office over the weekend. It's all anybody's talking about. Including us. Barbenheimer. Including us. Yeah.

Sure. Next on the show, though, we've got some fashion news. Do you want to head to the fashion desk? Yes. Because I'm here, and as you know, fashion is my passion.

Did you get another... Oh, no, that was yesterday. You got another delivery. Did you get some fashion I know that was yesterday. You got another delivery. Did you get some fashion yesterday? No, yesterday was her hair. Oh, yeah. Yesterday I got the hair, but yesterday I also got my Karen Walker tuxedo jacket for the Pie Awards arrived. Right.

You're wearing a Karen Walker tuxedo jacket to the Pie Awards. Yeah, well, it's black tie. I'm not putting on a gown. Why do you guys get to wear pants that you can unbutton at the Pie Awards And I've got to wear a dress I was so excited No it's black tie Well I wear the black tie but of course you don't want to

You don't want to be stuffed into some suit pants When there's pies to be eaten Well this fashion news may please you guys You love a hat We're talking a bit about the movies That are absolutely taking the world by storm You love a hat. We're talking a bit about the movies that are absolutely taking the world by storm. Barbenheimer at the moment. Yeah, it's pop culture's bloody tentpole at the moment, isn't it?

Yeah. What else have we got to talk about? We haven't had a moment like this in cinema for a while, and we won't again for a while. There's just these two epic films. Well, even, some people are including

Mission Impossible, Mission Barbenheimer. Yeah, agree, agree. Mission Barbenheimer. Mission Barbenheimer. Stretching it out. I saw one guy went to all three

over the weekend. Barbenheimer Impossible. Yeah. Yeah. Jeepers, that's hard. That's five, because I know lots of people doing the five hour,

which is Barbie followed by Oppenheimer. Mission Impossible is close to three hours. Yeah. But it's a great movie. You're not going to get standing rings. Yeah. No, you're not. You'd have to stand up and just pace up the aisles.

Yeah. I would, because I'd pee on the hour. I was going to say, that's the amount of time I go to the toilet, I run there and back. I might be there and back before a minute's over, though. Well, thanks to Oppenheimer, which I still haven't seen yet. Still haven't seen her.

Yeah. Absolute peak in sales for the classic fashion fave, the fedora. Not to be confused with, you know, a nice wide brim hat. I know you like, Vaughn. I love a wide brim hat. I'm not a fedora guy. I tried. It was not for me. Bruno Mars was a fedora guy. He sure

was, man. We all were. Bruno Mars was a lot of things for the average person. Killian Murphy's to blame. Because he's in Peaky Blinders, so everyone's like I'm going to wear a cheese cutter. Those hats. Because I want to look like the Peaky Blinders. And then it's too late once you've got it

and you realise you look like a twat. And then he's doing the same with the fedora. You're going to buy the fedora thinking, I think I could pull that off and it's going to be too late once it arrives. You can't. I remember when fedoras were in fashion when I was a little bit emo and I got a pink pins, like a black with pink pinstripe fedora from the Camden Markets in

London and I thought I looked so cool He didn't though Such an Amy Winehouse Anyone that's been to the Camden Markets got a bit swept up in the moment Yeah we went a bit crazy I found myself in a drumming circle at one point In the fedora?

In the fedora of course I brought it and put it straight on the noggin. So, yeah, because he wears a bit of a fedora in the Oppenheimer film because it was the time. The hat of the time, yeah. The hat of the time. Already a peak, 21% peak in fedoras. Oh, no. Indiana Jones also, I've just Googled fedora hat

and the first one is Indiana Jones. I would not say this is more of a white brim. Like an Australian kind of outback hat. The fedora has more of a short back. It's not equi. Just, you know, it's not the same length the whole way around. It's a bit shorter at the back. It used to be a real

red flag for a douche bag. You know? He's rocking a fedora you've been unleashed. Can I say it? It still should be say It still should be It still should be No But where The movie is

Influencing the fashion Of the time Well maybe Just step in If a friend says I'm about to buy a fedora So technically Indiana Jones

Is a fedora It's a brown fedora Style hat It came to be known As the Indiana Jones hat But it's a bit bigger Than a I would have thought

It's bigger than a fedora, yeah. Slightly, slightly, maybe. Maybe the fact that it's brown felt. Yeah, okay. Makes it look more like, you know, your wide brim hat versus... Well, two very handsome men there. Yeah. Indiana Jones and Kelly and Murphy.

And set around the same time. Oppenheimer and Indiana Jones, you know, the universe that set it in is around World War II. That's the key. Just leave it back in the... The 1940s. Just leave's the key. Just leave it back in the 1940s. Just leave it for the films. Yeah, leave it back in the 40s and 50s, please. Yeah, right. Silly Little Pole is next on the show.

The question, if you won Lotto, would you stay working? Yeah, a guy won Lotto a lot of money recently overseas and he just was like, you know, I'm going to go to work the next day. No, I'll be on a plane out of here. Trev from Countdown promised John Campbell he would when he won $26 million and he didn't.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly dad, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. If you won Lotto, would you still work as today's silly little pole? Some man overseas won. Let's see how long this lasts, Waldo. 22 million New Zealand dollars. What country was he in? In the UK. It would only take that one person at work that you don't like

or the boss or something happens like, oh, you have to work late or something. You're like, you know what? I don't need to. I don't need to put up with this. Anything they do, eh? Yeah. Hayley, are you able to just stay behind for five minutes?

You know what? I'm out. Yeah, I don't need this job. How hard would it be to manage people who did not need to be there? Yeah. Most management is just knowing the fact that this person has little other options. Yes. But trying to manage someone who's like, well, I don't care.

Yeah, it would be very hard. Oh, what a nightmare. I know. I would, because me and Aaron talk about this all the time, because that's basically our plan. Your retirement. We're going to win a lot of us. Winning lotto, yeah.

And he would never, like he'd do project, you know, like, charity and building stuff, but, like, he'd never work for anyone again. Whereas I would. I'd just go crazy. I'd have to do something. I'd have to do something. Yeah, I'd be so bored. Because, yeah, I'd be the same.

Yeah. And I, like, am lucky that I like my job. I like entertaining people. So I'd still do that. I'd still make shots. I just do stuff like buy a digger and reroute a river. And then end up in the environment court charged with rerouting a river. Put it all back.

Didn't some guy get done for rerouting a river on his farm? Yeah. But you don't let them see. You do the river down the back of the farm. Born satellites. They see everything. There was a slip that caused that. As long as Google Maps

isn't taking its photo the day I'm out there with the digger, taking a big chunk out of the side of a riverbank. You never know when they're arriving.

And then I'm going to mine the river or the old riverbed for gold. Oh yeah, okay. And not find any and burn through my millions but that's my choice

and I'll do what I want. If you ask Lotto would you still work? 20% of people said yes, I'd keep my same job. Was it that White Adapa remember that group of people they worked together

and they won like 20 something mil and they were like, we're all going back to work. You're not thinking about the family from Hawke's Bay that won 36. They won one of the big ones. I can't remember. They were good people because they gave a huge chunk of it to like the rescue helicopter and stuff. Oh, that's nice. That is good.

And then they kept doing, like, the bakery or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was one of my favourite lotto wins. There was a Bake Off contestant once who had won lotto since he was on Bake Off. So after Bake Off, he won lotto? Yeah. He, like, messaged me and I was like,

how are you, mate? He was like, good man. Rich, rich. $14 million. Send me pictures of your feet. And you're like, how are you, mate? He was like, good man. Rich, $14 million. Send me pictures of your feet. And you're like, yes, daddy. Yes, Annie. Would you work or volunteer part-time?

That was another option we gave you, and that was the most popular one, 59%. Yeah. And if you wanted to, would you still work? No way, 21%. I'd volunteer with all those old biddies at the airport to point out to the tourists where the bus is to the city. Yeah, but then you've got to get all the way out to the airport. Oh, my God, and airport parking? Even when you win a lotto every day?

No, thanks. This guy out. Okay, now, I'm not madness. Still not splurging. Still won't buy the boots, and he's won $30 million. Buy the boots. I've forgotten about the boots. I'm not buying the boots.

I'm not buying the boots. Die with it in the bank. And then who wins? The bank. And isn't the bank winning enough? Yeah. If I won enough, said Kushla, I would start my own aged care home, so I'd probably end up working more than before.

You would start your own aged care home? Well, she's reinvesting, right? Because those things make bank. They do, yeah. It's just sitting them up. They're so expensive because you can't keep old people in fridge boxes anymore. PC madness. Fruits.

Snowflakes. Snowflakes. Rebecca said, I get too bored. Yeah. I like helping all people. All the people. Same. That's me to my core, really.

Charitable. You're laughing. Giving. I'm not laughing at all. You are very generous and giving. Brittany said, I would keep my same job but work less hours. So you see, what if that doesn't work for your employer? Yeah.

Pay them out. Well, you don't have to. Buying the company? I'm not buying the company. I currently work in childcare and I would be out of here so fast, never to be seen in one again. Yeah. Kids suck.

Carl said, call me Trevor, but I'll be out of here and blow all my money then come back to the supermarket. That's what Trevor did, didn't he? I don't think he blew it all, did he? But he certainly. I think he lost a fair chunk. Didn't he take a wife? Didn't he take a wife who then took it for half what he's worth?

You can afford a very expensive lawyer for a prenup. Prenup. Prenup that. Holla we want prenup. Holla is in the infamous words of Kanye West. Indeed. Prenup it. Holla we want prenup. Prenup. Prenup that. Holla, we want prenup. Holla is in the infamous words of Kanye West. Indeed. Prenup it. Holla, we want prenup.

Okay, yeah, he had a marriage breakup in 2019. Is there a Wikipedia? No, there's a lot of them. I'm going to Trevor. I am to Kofota. Okay. And 2016. Here's the other thing.

If you win Lotto, like 20, 30 million, you don't tell any, you don't go public. You are just a, you are just a nobody from wherever you lived at one. And you get a nice car, but not a car that's like silly. Don't go public. Then everybody wants a bit, you're in the news for doing this. Yeah. Everyone wants a slice. Yeah.

Trevor hit life speed bumps after his eye-watering $27 million 10 years ago. He had to go into hiding after intense media interest. His newly-won riches went enough to protect him from heartache to calm. He fell in love and divorced his post-win love, Shari, all within a space of three years. His mother, Shirley, told the Herald on Sunday there were no prenuptial agreements. There are no children to

Trevor, thankfully. But I knew the marriage wouldn't last. I tell both my children who they marry is their choice and I'll back them all the way and that's what you have to do as a parent, unfortunately. So I don't know how much money Trevor's got left. He probably bought like race cars and all sorts of things. Good on him. Good on him. He lived.

Yeah. Kat said I'm working full-time and doing my bachelor's degree full-time. Some more free time would be great. Would you give up if you're halfway through

studying? 100%. Because you don't need to work. You've got $30 million. But what if you've got a passion for the thing that you're studying? You know?

Passion's not going to pay the bills. God, I sound like my dad. Gemma said, no way, I've got a world to see. Yeah. Lexi, I'd keep the job, but I wouldn't try as hard. See?

Can you imagine what it would be like employing someone who did not need the job, didn't want the job, just treated it like a casual hobby, something to get them out of bed in the morning. Did you get that email sent off, Vaughn? Ah. I just started watching a video. Vaughn, do you want to read this ad here for some high-paying client? Not really.

You would actually be impossible to work with if you won Lotto. I'm bad enough as it is. You're bad enough. Exactly. I'm bad enough as it is. You're bad enough. Exactly. I'm bad enough as it is. And Logan said, I would hand in my notice right away and be vague as heck to the boss, those that know I'm rich now. Yeah.

Yeah. 624, next on the show, the men are stepping up. We're washing ourselves and other things. You are going to be so proud of us next. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. Well, gentlemen, pat on the back for all of us. Apparently, we're personal hygiening.

Congratulations. We're personal hygiening. Men. You haven't been this whole time? Not, apparently not. Yucky. We're getting better. In the last, we're getting better, but in the last year, global sales of male grooming

products has gone up from 80 billion in 2022 to, it's expected, the projections are showing 115 billion. Right. In the next few years. Is it the intense sun that's making us all dehydrated and wrinkly? They're saying it's more seeing people like Harry Styles. Right. And Timothy.

We've got some groomfluences. Shalama Lee. Shalalala. Yes, groomfluences. Yeah, groomfluencers. Because men are taking more pride in themselves. And they also, in the Asian market, are saying you're K-pop. You're K-pop bands.

Seeing seven to nine, because it's always seven to nine. It's the fat Freddy's drop of K-pop up there. They never have a small K-pop. No. Always have the best skin care. You've got to have a whole lot of K-pop up there. They never have a small K-pop. No. Always have the best skincare. You've got to have a whole lot of K-pops up there. And they've got this velvety, velvety, smooth porcelain skin. And apparently China's increasing middle class are getting into their skincare as well.

Oh, wow. So they're spending more money. Hopefully this also doesn't mean China's middle class because you remember when everybody was like, what do you mean there's still people poaching rhino horns? And then their research was it was all going to China and the middle class was getting money but still believing in like wild, old school,

traditional medicines which were horn based. A lot of horn based medicines. Right. For the horn. Yeah. For the penis. Yeah. The powdered horn was great for the penis.

Glasskin, they call it in South Korea. Glasskin. And your skin just looks like. Like shiny. Like shiny, flat. Do the stats say what guys are buying? Is it moisturizer or is it just beard oils? It's kind of a bit of everything.

Right. Scents, apparently we're scenting ourselves again, not since the days of Hugo Boss. Yeah. And Jax and Juke. CK1's a classic fragrance. Aaron wears CK1. Still smells CK1 out and about and you'll be like,

oh yeah, that still smells good. Every now and then you put on a CK1, I about, and you'll be like, oh, yeah, that still smells good. Every now and then you put on a CK1. I'm like, jeepers, you've been wearing that since I met you. Forever. It's become his scent. It's a classic. But you were apparently, I can't escape at the moment, I'm getting ads for silicon body brushes.

Silicon body brushes? What are they? Like a back-scratching brush or something? So there's a back-scratching brush. The first one I saw was a beard one. When you wash your beard, you run it through and it takes out all the excess like skin that would later become beard trough. Right.

And then once I clicked on that, I think it was like hidden with this full silicon package. So there's like a back scratcher slash washer. Okay. There's like a glove for your hands. I don't know if that's going to be good on your skin, a silicon glove. Well, I would have thought it would have pulled the hair. Yeah, that's so good. A real hair puller.

A little tuggy. But do you remember those scruff combs? My dad still uses one. They were a round thing that you put in the palm of your hand. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the handle went through one of your fingers and you'd hold it tight and it was round and it had heaps and heaps of like spikes

and you'd like do your hair. Yeah. It looks a little bit like that. We called them scruffers. They were black. Yeah, they came black, red, blue. My dad's always had black ones. Yeah, and dad's loved them

because you could get so much more hair done at once. Yeah, you could. Even for my father who didn't have hair on top, he'd do it around the sides. Get so much more hair done at once. It could be the return of those too. Keep it up. Keep it up.

Keep it up. Keep it up. Keep it up. Keep it up. Keep it up. Keep it trim and prim. Keep on grooming. Fresh and moist.

Got to moisturise. Now, in 2019, through a series of events that you would call highly unlikely, a chain of highly unlikely events, a baby humpback whale ended up dead in the Amazon's mangroves. Crazy. Now for some reason that story popped up again. Maybe it's just like doing the right. It looks unbelievable.

I saw it and I was like, that's photoshopped. I remember at the time, after reading the story, I remember at the time everyone's like, it's fake, it's fake, it's fake. And then some whale experts or whaley brainy guys, all girls Everyone's like, it's fake, it's fake, it's fake. And then some whale experts or... Whale experts.

Whaley brainy guys or girls. Oh, heck. Oh, wow. Did you just hear that? Accidental sexism? Yeah. That's ingrained in us. I almost don't hear it anymore.

It's so regular. I'm trying to be a better person. You know? Yeah. And when I do hear it, I'll correct myself. Yeah. So some men, bra Brainy brainy men With big brains

I mean look at the movies At the moment Oppenheimer is about A man with brains Barbie is about What A babe with boobs Yes

Nah it's not It's truly a very Feminist piece of film Far more to it Well so they Established that Rough weather The humpback whale

Losing its mum Which is real sad Because it was just A young one. Getting lost. Bad weather. King tide. Somehow this whale did end up in the mangroves.

Do you know how far it got inland? It was not. It wasn't like right up there. Right. Up a mountain. It wasn't like up the Andes. Yeah, it wasn't at the very birthplace of the Amazon. Right, okay.

But it was in there, and we talked about this for a bit, and then... This was a story that Shannon put forward for today's show. Yes. And you were like, no, this is old. This is old. And I was like, that's not even real. Yeah. But it was.

And I was like, you do you, chick, women praising women, but no one was listening, and so... And then I think it was... I think, I think she said I should have known because it was in the mangroves. And then there was confusion. And then Shannon, who apparently did a school speech on mangroves. Yeah. Learned that mangroves aren't just a New Zealand thing. Yeah, I thought they were native.

No. No, but they are native. No? They are native. To us? To everywhere. A swampy mangrove that you just thought that was just in New Zealand. I'm not going to lie. I thought it was just Auckland and then I moved. Auckland? Well, I'm from Auckland.

I'm not doing well here, I know. Are you thinking of Mangere maybe? No, no, no. Named after the Mangere wolves. After the Mangere wolves. When I was, no. Named after the mangrove wolves. After the mangrove hovers. When I was in year two, we had to do a walk. There was a reserve by my school and we got to see them.

And I was like, this is the coolest thing ever. Little fishies, get a lick. Mangroves rule. They're awesome. A hell of an ecology, ecological system. Yeah, and I just thought it was so special. And I don't know, I guess I just thought we were special. So then in year three, I did my speech on mangroves, but clearly not very well researched,

because I've now spent 20 years thinking that they were native to Auckland or New Zealand. We did a little longboat tour through the mangroves in Bali. Oh, no, you're in Bali, Shannon. They're in Bali. They're everywhere. This is really blowing my mind. So is it not special for us?

No. We have one mangrove species in New Zealand, They're in Bali. They're everywhere. This is really blowing my mind. So is it not special for us? No. We have one mangrove species in New Zealand. Manawa is what it's known as. But no, mangroves are all around the world. When you go overseas and you're like, I remember the first time I went overseas, I was like, oh, my God, they've got a Westfields too. What? Yeah, it blows your mind.

And then you see all these brands and you're like, I thought that was just us. I thought Milo was just New Zealand. No. Is it not? Are you telling me Milo is everywhere? Milo is everywhere. But it's like Kiwi Kids. It's a thing.

Yeah, Weebex. And in Australia it's Weebex Kids. Aussie Kids. It's unbelievable. What about when we learned that the breeze wasn't just Harbour City, you're a friend of mine. Oh, my God, yeah. Or Urban City, you're a friend of mine.

Or Garden City, you're a friend of mine. Oh my God, yeah, they really, really have shit jingled. Or urban city you're a friend of mine or garden city you're a friend of mine. That's cheeky. Yeah, very cheeky. I literally thought that was Wellington specific my whole life. Yeah, I think it started there. How dare you, the breeze?

They very quickly just dropped their pants for anybody. I know everyone got a city. Yeah. You didn't even have to try. Pants were down on the breeze. Come hither.

Be my friend. In Wellington, we were like, what about us? Yeah, yeah, exactly. You were the originals. We were Harbour City. Mangroves, much like the breeze. Everywhere. Everywhere.

Absolutely. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. From the self-driving ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there. Barbie has had so many careers that she has a Wikipedia page about her careers, and they have to be sorted by category. The categories are arts and media, business, education, medicine, military, political, public service, science and engineering, sports and athletics, transportation, and other roles.

Other. Other roles include beekeeper, candy striper, cat burglar, construction worker, cowgirl, dolphin trainer. Oh, that's problematic. Has she not seen the cove? Jillaroo. A jillaroo? A jillaroo is a young man. A jackaroo in the female equivalent is a jilaroo

working on a sheep or cattle station in Australia. Is there a firefighter, Barbie? She'd melt. She wouldn't melt because that hair's not real. She wouldn't be able to get close to the fire. She wouldn't be able to get too close, would she? No. No, she's been bloody everything.

Well, with all these careers, come hefty student loans. Here come student loans. Look at the top six student loans Barbie would have for some of her jobs in the US. Yep. Number six on the list. Barbie, optometrist Barbie, would be leaving with a $200,000 US student loan on average. Is that a real, that's a real figure? Yeah, I've Googled these careers in the average student loan that the people leave with.

$500,000? America is so screwed. Yeah. Just to go, is it one? Is it two? I mean, it's more than that. One or two.

Go back to one. One or two. Is it two? Which one's clearer? So she first became an optometrist in 2015 and then again in 2017.

Has she even made a dent in that student loan? Probably not. No, not in that time. It just sits there. Number five on the list, the top six student loans Barbie would have for her jobs in the US. Barbie, of course, has been a vet many times. Yeah. And the average vet in the US leaves with $185,000 of US dollars.

Wait, it's cheaper to do a vet than it is to optometrist. Yeah. Crazy. Number four on the list, if Bobbie was going to be a teacher, as she has been many times, many different sorts of teachers under education, she's been an art teacher, a ballet teacher,

a cooking teacher, an English language teacher, a music teacher, just your classic elementary school teacher. She was an art teacher until she got struck off. Yeah, that's right. Always the art teachers. Always the art teachers. Or the PE teachers.

Got to go. Science teacher, sign language teacher, Spanish language teacher, student teacher. That was in 1965, so obviously she was a woman. She shouldn't have been in charge of a classroom. And a yoga teacher in 2012. But if she was going to be just a standard old teacher, I do apologize, teachers. All right.

Barbie would have another $60,000 to add to her student loan. US student loan. Number three on the list of the top six student loans Barbie would have for her jobs in the US. Barbie was a pastry chef. Okay. Amongst many of her jobs in the culinary sector. But if you're a high-end pastry chef, you can expect an

$85,000 US student loan. What? $85,000 because this school that I looked up, this pastry chef school, it's not like a full-blown tertiary education, so you had to take a mix of private loans and government loans.

Oh my God. And the private loans sometimes are up to 15%. That's insane, right? Wild. Number two on the list of the top and government loans. Oh, my God. And the private loans sometimes are up to 15%. That's insane, right? Wild. Number two on the list of the top six student loans Barbie could have for her jobs in the US, dental Barbie, if she wanted to be a dentist,

would be living with a $300,000 student loan. That is the average student loan. Because in the US, it takes a long time to study it. You've got to borrow the money. And the course is so intense that it often doesn't leave time for any work outside of the course. Yeah.

Who's doing it? You've just got to borrow all the money. Jeepers. Yeah, that's wild. And number one on the list of the top six student loans Barbie would have for her jobs in the US if she was the commercial pilot, as she has been. Yeah.

$300,000 US. Nah. Sorry. That's a lot to become a pilot in New Zealand because you've got to get your hours up and pay for your fuel, don't you? Yeah. But that's so much money. Can you put diesel on it? It's the cheaper one. I don't think you can, Vaughn.

I think it's aviation fuel. It's special. That sounds expensive. That's it. That sounds expensive. That's the day sub six. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. Christopher Nolan, director of Oppenheimer. Who's known as a real movie geek. Massive.

And he makes big cinematic experiences. Great movies. That's what he's known for. And they are saying that Oppenheimer is one of the, could be one of the most influential and important and, you know, incredible films of the century. Yeah, but Barbie. But also Barbie.

But also like most people are going to Barbie first. Yeah. He was doing, he's doing lots of interviews at the moment for the film. And he was asked, you know, what are his favourite movies? Like, what films does he love? And you'd go, you'd think it would be your bloody, you know. Citizen Kane.

Your Schindler's List. Your One Flew Over the Cuckoos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, your Godfathers. The ones that are always in the top 100 movies of all time. Yeah, exactly. Gone with the Wind. Yeah, Gone with the Wind.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Well, one of his favourite films of all times is Talladega Nights. Now, if you haven't seen Talladega Nights... Shake and bake, baby. Yeah. Shake and bake. What a great movie.

It's John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell. Not stepbrothers. They play NASCAR drivers, right? Yeah. Yeah. And he plays a character called Ricky Barbie. Ricky Barbie. Farrell. Not Stepbrothers. They play NASCAR drivers, right? Yeah. And it's just he plays a character called Ricky Bobby. Ricky Bobby. And he's dumb as shit.

Where they're talking about their favourite Jesus and how they picture Jesus. Sweet baby Jesus. And they're praying that he's great. And he's like, I imagine him. Sweet little baby Jesus. Little newborn. Sweet newborn baby Jesus. That's a great movie. It is so funny.

But it is like It's trash You know it's just Really fun trash Like it's a funny movie But cinematically It's not like A Christopher Nolan movie

Like it's not shot on IMAX No it's just a funny Comedy film Yeah Don't get me wrong We're all fans of it But he just said like He's like

It is so funny It's one of my top movies that I'll always go back to. One like that was Step Brothers, which is John C. Reilly. Every time I see Step Brothers, I watch Step Brothers. At the end when he's singing. At the Catalina Wine Mixer. At the Catalina Wine Mixer. Anyway, I want to know if you have a film that is one of your faves,

but you know it's trash. You know, like... Like it's never going to win the Oscar. It didn't win the Oscar. Yeah. It's never winning anything. What about if over time it's become slightly problematic? Even better.

Because... What movie would that be? Ace Venture Repair Detective. Oh, yeah. Loved it. I don't even get the jokes. We went. I always remember we got dropped off at the movies.

Me and my brother and my sister with enough money to buy tickets and one popcorn to share, no drinks, take a bottle of water if you're that thirsty. Oh, my God. And Christine ran a tight ship. She ran a tight ship. But we wanted to go see something else. Yeah. But my sister was like, no, I want to go and see the movie about the pets.

So we went and saw Ace Venture and Pet Detective. Okay, it's not about the pets. Which, like, at the time, I don't even get half the jokes. But on a rewatch, so, and now, obviously, it's not 1993 anymore. So it's very problematic. There's some problems in there. Yeah. Maybe you're a big shocknado person, you know,

and you are prepared to tell people why it's a good film. Yeah. I don't know what mine would be like. For me, whenever I – I've got a busy brain, and so whenever I watch a film, I often don't want to watch something really intense like Inception. I want to watch something with Paul Rudd or something with Hugh Grant, and I'm happy. Yeah, gotcha.

You know? And then people, like, I've got filmy friends who are like, Hayley, have some respect. Have some respect. Watch a film, you know, of cinematic value. It's like, yeah, a lot of people will go back to, like, a Bridget Jones or a Notting Hill or a, you know. Get that out of your mouth.

Bridget Jones' diaryary is not trash. It is trash. It is one of the best films of all time. It's a comfort movie though, isn't it? Yeah. What about somebody messaged in all the dance movies of the early 2000s? Step up. Step up.

Step up to the streets. Yes. Bring it on. Bring it on. Bring it on to. What are all those ones Channing Tatum did? Magic Mike? Yeah, too. What are all those ones Channing Tatum did? Magic Mike? Yeah, those.

Like, you've got to, maybe you're a Robin Williams, like, blubber fan. Flubber. Flubber. Not blubber. Okay, there was a string of Eddie Murphy movies that were, like, terrible. Nutty Professor. Nutty Professor. Nutty Professor.

Okay, what about White Chicks? White Chicks. These are the films I want to hear. Even maybe too far down there. These are the films. Okay, we want White Chicks? White Chicks. These are the films I want to hear. Even maybe too far down there. These are the films. Okay, we want to take your calls. 0800 DALES at M. Give us a call.

9696 to text us. What is your favourite movie that you just know is trash? But you just love it anyway. We're not going to rip you apart. We're going to praise it up. And hey, maybe we're compiling a list of movies that we can watch. We can release them. We can release the list.

Give us a call. The trash movies that you love that aren't winning awards. 876. Zoolander is not trash. I changed the game. It's a cinematic marvel. I want to know the straight up trash films that you love. Christopher Nolan said he loves Talladega Nights.

So do I. Nobody's mentioned Austin Powers. Dude, I was going to say Austin Powers number two, best, best ever. I watched it again recently and I laughed. Some of these movies I'm like, ouch, they're not trash. They're great movies. They're great movies.

Austin Powers is so funny. Him doing a 20-point turn. When he gets stuck. Me and my dad used to just flip and just laugh and laugh and rewind it. We watched the start of it with the girls because I'd forgotten how inappropriate it was. And when he wheezes at the start, when he first gets defrosted and the wheeze just keeps going, they were just like, this is genius. You think it's over and it just keeps going.

It's just little small skits and skits. It is. So funny. So we want to know from you those movies that you love that are trash and, you know, they're not winning any awards. Margot, good morning. What's the movie? Hi, good morning, guys.

Just want to say a long time listener for some time. Oh, yeah. Well, you know what that means. You know what that means. Woo! Welcome to the show. welcome to the show. Welcome to the show. Thank you, thank you.

What's the movie? It's a bit embarrassing, but it's Team America, that puppet movie. America! Don't say the rest. That's the reason I can't say Matt Damon's name anymore. I know! Do you know, like, when we interviewed him, interviewed him a few months ago for that Nike movie, I was trying so hard not to be like, Matt Damon.

Please welcome to the show, Matt Damon. It was so, like, Matt Damon at that stage, he'd won an Oscar right for Good Will Hunting. Yeah, he was like Hollywood darling. He was very well established, but then his career was just derailed. Yeah. Absolutely derailed by the sex scene between the puppets. It was so funny.

Yeah. Which was taken out. I had a, I don't know, have you seen the unedited version of that scene? I think so. I got a Thailand bootleg, and that scene's far longer. Yeah, I think those are different. Margot, thank you so much for joining the show for the first time. Sian, what is the movie that most people would say is trash,

but you just love? Well, I'm not cool with a classic, but it is Mrs. Doubtfire. Oh, that's a classic. That's not trash. That's an absolute classic. Actually, we watched it the week, and I'll tell you something about Mrs. Doubtfire next. Oh.

We watched Mrs. Doubtfire, which, by the way, is 30 years old. What something about Mrs Doubtfire next. Oh. We watched Mrs Doubtfire which by the way is 30 years old. What? That movie came out in 1993. No, I'm 33. That's not right. It's a 30 year old movie.

But you just, how many times do you reckon you've seen it, Sian? So since I was, I'm not going to say seven years old, probably over a hundred times.

It's like when he's feeling sad, I will put that on and it will last me every time. Were you really sad when Robin Williams passed away? Oh, my gosh, I was, yes. He was only 72 yesterday. What? It was Robin Williams' 72nd birthday. Sian, thank you.

Ata, what C-movie that is trash but you just love? I don't want to call it trash. Everyone else can call it trash, but it's definitely Napoleon Dynamite. Dude. Napoleon Dynamite. It was a classic because it was an independent film that cost, and I've said, next to nothing to make.

Yeah. And it made, like, John Hedda, like, an overnight superstar. Yeah. And it was one of those. It's so weird. Such a weird movie that everybody just gravitated to at the time. I wouldn't have said trash, though, because it did change the game. It showed people you could make movies for.

I know what you mean, though. Like, it's not, it's stupid. And nothing happens. Yeah. It wasn't really a good storyline But like You'd watch Every single scene Yeah Everyone learned the dance Some say love

With his like Butterfly hands I know that song I know that song I had to do it At school one year Love it Arthur thank you

Some messages in Dumb and Dumber Is one of the greats Somebody said Pitch Perfect Is such trash But I've watched it So many times

Yeah Pitch Perfect sucks They keep making them, don't they? Yeah. More Team America. Joe Dirt. Joe Dirt. Any David Spade vehicle is okay.

Who's that other guy? Rob Schneider. Rob Schneider. Rob Schneider. You can do it. Juice Bigelow, male gigolo. Dude, that movie ruled when he's upside down on that thing

and he pulls the tank off and it smashes and goes everywhere that's good gear the fish tank oh my god it's so stupid it's trash

lots of people saying Night at the Roxbury it was a Will Ferrell movie in the late 90s it had Jennifer Coolidge and Molly Shannon in it as well it was a Saturday Night Live

sketch that got turned into a movie that basically Wayne's World was the same thing yeah right I haven't seen it either and Molly Shannon in it as well. It was a Saturday Night Live sketch that got turned into a movie. Oh, okay. Basically, Wayne's World was the same thing. Yeah, right. Yeah, I haven't seen it either. But I know people rave about it. It's kind of a bit of a Jennifer Coolidge classic.

Oh, my God. Who texts and says, my 12-year-old girls absolutely love The Human Centipede? I haven't watched that. I don't need to watch The Human Centipede. I've never seen it, but I know it. That's got to be a joke.

No, they said they're 25 now and they still think it's a great movie. No. Jeepers. I would never ever watch that movie.

It's just wild to me someone who was 12 years old and watched Human Centipede can now possibly be 25. Didn't that come out two years ago? Yeah, I sort of remember that from the recent Zeitgeist.

Clay, Zed Enns, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. It's a weekend. Every now and then we try to watch like a classic movie with the kids. Oh, yeah. So they don't end up just watching bloody TikTok. Those idiots.

I have found myself saying, would you watch, like my parents were always like, get off that or turn off the TV and go outside. But I don't say that. I say, would you watch something with a narrative? Wow. Would you watch something with a narrative? Wow. Would you watch something with a story?

Like, I don't mind if they're watching a TV series because it tells them they've got to follow the story. Yeah. And they're just watching endless YouTube shorts with nothing tying it all together and it's 10 seconds long and very little attention required. I know. Watch something with a story.

This is the guy who spends a little bit of time on TikTok live. I told you, you realised it was a bad habit and I weaned myself off the TikTok live. You're off. There's no TikTok. I don't even go on TikTok. Do you reckon in the future there just won't be any like serial TV shows? Maybe not. It's more than 10 seconds.

Boring, boring, boring. I could definitely feel it happening when I would get on Instagram Reels for a while. And then I'd go to watch something long and be like, I've got to really focus. Yeah. Up at the TV trying to scroll up to the next one. Wasn't it working? So we, Andy was away and we talked about,

because we went to Bubba Gump's in America when we were in America. And I was like, Forrest Gump it rules what a great movie did that come from the movie or was it so I researched it because it okay

this is because we were at Bubba Gump's and I was like what came first so Forrest Gump came out and took off yep

and was just like this movie everybody's just like this is a hell of a movie yeah so then a guy the first thing that happened was there was this prawn company

that wasn't doing very well. They sold prawns that you like take home and put in a stir fry or whatever. Delish. And they weren't doing very well and he got in touch

with the movie company and said, if I cut you guys in, I'm going to buy this. Would it be cool if we rebranded it Bubba Gumps? It just seems like a lost thing that everyone's now

all of a sudden talking about shrimp. Everyone wants shrimp. Never been talking about shrimp. Yeah, yeah. And now I could, and they were like, I guess so. What have we got to lose? Don't like do anything racist or stupid.

Yeah. And he's like, promise. And now it's, so then that started and he's like, wow, that's doing well. And then there was this seafood restaurant, this chain of seafood restaurants that wasn't doing so fantastically, but had this guy saw potential in it. Right. So he's like, the shrimp thing worked well.

Do you want to go in on this restaurant? We'll theme it. We'll sell merch. We'll do everything. It'll be all basically Forrest Gump. There'll be pictures from the movie around. The whole experience will be like a Forrest Gump restaurant. And the movie company were like, yeah, okay, it worked well. And then they were off to the races, mate. Wow. Okay, so it was from the movie.

Yeah, it was from the bank. Wow. It was from the movie, yeah, yeah. And now they're just making oodles of cash off it. Yeah. So I learned that. But then Sade's like, yeah, there's drugs, a little bit of something. Maybe not yet.

Maybe August especially might be a little bit young for Forrest Gump. So we set it on Mrs. Doubtfire. Great. Now imagine going into Mrs. Doubtfire having zero idea of what the movie was about. Because August went in having never heard of Mrs. Doubtfire. Yeah, which I sort of have always known. Even before you went to the movies, you would have seen the trailer for Mrs. Doubtfire. Yeah. Which told the basic story that it was a father who had lost custody of his kids,

who took on the character of Ebenezer David Foyerty. Hey, that's sweet. To be able to be close to his kids. And he became a nanny. And throughout becomes a better man. Yes. You don't know the end of the trailer. That's what happens at the end.

Yeah. But August went on not knowing Anything about Mrs. Doubtfire And so she kept saying Oh where's Mrs. Doubtfire? When's Mrs. Doubtfire showing up? And then you might remember They get like a stuffy social worker

That a lady that was in heaps of 90s movies And kind of like looks down the end of her nose And she's like Daniel blah blah blah blah, blah, we're going to, you know, try to get you visitation rights once a week. And she's like, that's her, that's Mrs. Doubtfire. That's Mrs. Doubtfire.

I was like, that's not Mrs. Doubtfire. And then when- Did you not see Robin Williams changing in- Not yet. Oh, right, okay. No, so there was this moment where, and man, I wish I'd recorded it, when he changes the phone number in the classifieds

so no one can get a hold of his wife, but he rings her and puts on all the different voices. Some of them, I will say, haven't aged well. Yeah, yeah. Robin was good with any and all accents, to be fair. Maybe when he shouldn't have been. But anyway, it was 1993. And then when he rings up and puts on the Mrs. Doubtfire voice,

even then, and she's like, what's your name? He said, Ebenezer Doubtfire. And August was like, what? And then he goes to his- No, Euphanasia. Euphanasia Doubtfire. That's her name. Yeah, that's right.

No, Euphagenia. Euphagenia. Euphanasia is the one where they put you down. Euphagenia. Euphagenia Doubtfire, dear. Euthanasia is the one where they put you down. Euphogenia. Euphogenia Doubtfire, dear. I always thought Scottish, but talks. That's a Scottish accent.

I always thought it was a Scottish accent, but it talks about who's from England. So I don't know if there was confusion in the accent there. Oh, no, it's very Scottish. But then she's like, huh? And then when he goes to the makeup artist, his brother, and says, I need you to make me a woman, and August is just like, this is Doubtfire. And it was just this moment where I was like to make me a woman. And August was just like, this is doubt fire. And it was just this moment where I was like,

oh my god. Now imagine watching Jurassic Park not knowing that it's going to go badly. The movie would be so much better. If you're just like, this guy's growing out of dinosaurs is going to be fantastic. Are you saying that there should not be any movie trailers? I just wish I could

watch a movie with no idea. Of what's going to happen. Of what's, the setting or anything. So every scene is news to me. You didn't go into it thinking Bruce Willis is dead the whole time. Because remember the first time you watched the film and you were like. The Sixth Sense was, I never saw it before I knew the twist.

Oh really? It is nice when you watch a movie that's not like a well-known movie that you don't watch a trailer for, and then you are like nicely, you know, it's a surprise. It's nice. Did we see Taken together, Liam Neeson's Taken? Yeah. And we had no idea, but we just knew Liam Neeson was in it.

Yeah. That was a great movie. And the first John Wick. I don't think I had any idea what John Wick was going to be about, and then it's just from the get-go one of the greatest action movies. Yeah. Whereas I go into movies having already read three reviews and formulated an opinion about it.

Yeah. We ruin it for ourselves, don't we? We do. A little bit. Yeah. We live in the moment. I just wish, yeah, I could erase the memory of the great movies and watch them all over again.

With a fresh mind again. I think you will be able to when you get into your later years. It's called... Alzheimer's. That's the one. Yeah. You just forget. You just forget.

So then you'll be able to watch Mrs. Doubtfire every day. Well, I've got to start adding in my watch list. Oh, yeah, because you'll forget. I'll forget what ones I want to watch again. You need to make a list that is your dementia playlist. Well, I've got to start adding in my watch list. Oh, yeah, because you'll forget. I'll forget what ones I want to watch again. Yeah. A list that is your dementia playlist. Movies I'd like to watch when I can't remember what happens in them. Hey, if you don't laugh, you cry, right?

Play ZM's Fletch for the Daily. Play ZM. A girl called Michaela in the US has had a TikTok blow up. It's had millions of views. She posted this while sitting on a plane and said, since when did airplane etiquette of getting off the plane row by row end? What? What?

So you know the etiquette is? Row one, A through the F. Yeah, and so if you're on row, like, say, for example, you're on row six, you wait for everybody in row one, two, three, four, five to get off, and then you go. Yeah, boy. Unless you've been told there's a connecting flight. Oh, yeah.

Have you ever pretended to be on a connecting flight? No, I haven't. No, neither. Oh, yeah, I'm in such a rush. Oh, my God, quickly, I need to get to Las Vegas. No, but I completely agree. This is such a pet peeve. When people try to push down the aisle,

and they're like, you just wait for the seats in front of you. People push down the aisle. If I'm in six and someone in seven, and I'm getting out and they start walking forward, I will immediately block them. I'll just block them. Just get out there. Because they're trying it on.

They know the etiquette. Don't try it on. I mean, maybe there could be people that don't fly that much that don't know the etiquette. The only time it's okay to go out of order is if someone is just sitting there. You know, some people like to just sit, take their time. And let everybody else get off. Let everyone else get off and they'll get off in their own time. But other than that.

Or if somebody's like messing around trying to get their bag down. And they scoot you and they give you the A-okay to go. And maybe you can quickly tuck around them. Oh, my God. But, oh, my God, I completely agree. People who charge, eh? Yeah. People who charge, I'm going to trip them up.

I'm going to trip them up. And then also when you get off to get your bag, don't faff around. You know, like people faff. They get their little handbag down, they put it on. Yeah, yeah. Then they just take a moment. I'll get my big bag and they're like. We've come all this way.

Come on. While we're here. Some people take the piss with the amount of carry-on they're taking. Oh, my God. Absolutely. They take a separate suitcase on. Yeah. Well, it's because they don't want to pay for a bag.

But people sometimes don't have a backpack. They have a backpack and like a tote and a small. It's taking the piss. It's taking the piss. Yeah, because then they rush on the plane and snatch up all the overhead compartment. That's why you've got to get on. That's why Vaughan likes to board last. He's like, there's no rush.

I'm like, there is. You've got to get the premium overhead space. Yeah, I know. The locker space. But there should be enough for everyone if we all just have one piece and potentially one smaller piece. And maybe a tote. Not Susan, who's got the tote, the handbag,

a neck pillow, and a suitcase that is potentially bigger than a normal carry-on suitcase. I sat next to a very smelly man on the way home. Did he have a neck pillow? I don't know. He didn't.

I've been getting the ads, and I'd love to know if anyone's tried these. They're not the neck pillows, but they're like a neck kind of a brace. You've seen the old one. Did you? They rule. Really? I was hesitant. They roll up to like nothing because they're like memory foam

and then you put them in this little tiny little thing that's probably the size of your two fists. Yeah. And then you take it out and it expands and then it's got these Velcro straps that go around the headrest. Yeah. That holds it there and then you put it around the neck and then you put this little drawstring thing in

and it just keeps you upright. Beautiful. What do you mean it goes around the headrest because then you're going to put a strap across someone's screen. No, no, no. It doesn't go around the whole headrest. You know those little wing things that you can, like, pull out and put your head in?

Right. And so it just goes over that part, and then when you're sleeping, it means your neck doesn't, like, actually work. Oh, dude, it ruled. And you don't go like this. You don't go like that the whole time when you start tipping over. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so you reckon

that's worth it you are such a sucker for the advertising no shard I got them right because she's a sucker for the advertising and I rag on her

and then I have to apologise because she made a great investment well Barbie's released a movie you guys probably haven't heard of it. It's had very little exposure.

Very little. The marketing's been terrible. Yeah. Trusted as crap. Nobody wants to talk about it. It's a terrible line-up. Aesthetically, it looks very unpleasing. They didn't even use that much pink.

Yeah. Not enough pink for my liking. Not enough celebrity cameos. It is actually insane. It's nailed it. How cute celebrity cameos. It is actually insane. It's nailed it. How cute it really is. You've seen it. I have seen it and it's wild.

It's just unreal. You're going tonight. Now, is this a date? Well, what do you mean? It's in the calendar for tonight. So I'm going on the 25th of July. On a date. It's the date.

The date is the 25th of July. We say date. It's the date. It's the date. Wow. We say it's a date. Art date. Don't couple up. I'm not into it. Have a hanky-pank before or after the movie. Because after the movie, one time's a noob.

5.30, two hour movie, 7.30, all of you will be getting tired. You'll be getting tired. So maybe you want to go beforehand. Definitely beforehand. We are not discussing this. Barbie is the biggest opening at the New Zealand box office for the year of 2023 with $3.85 million, including the previews. Now, that is a huge take at the New Zealand box office.

That's a lot for New Zealand, isn't it? Wait, is that New Zealand alone? That's New Zealand alone. That's massive. It is the biggest opening weekend for any Margot Robbie movie, Ryan Gosling movie, Greta Gerwig movie, which doesn't surprise me because she's done most of the indie films. The ones that win awards and stuff,

but maybe don't have the hugest box of success. And the biggest opening weekend for a film directed by a woman. Oh. Yeah, that was the only thing I'd say that would make the film better, as if it was directed by a woman. Oh. Yeah, that was the only thing I'd say that would make the film better as if it was directed by a man. It would be the only thing. I loved it, but it was just...

Also, movie theatres reporting... A man's eye on it. Like, sold-out sessions and being really busy because Oppenheimer as well opened. Yeah. Apparently, there has been overseas some moments. There's a really beautiful moment where like Barbie's kind of like realising that her world is not the real world.

And there's this close up on Margot Robbie. No, it's not. But she is like processing so much. And apparently in so many cinemas overseas, you can hear the nuclear bomb go off. The first explosion of the nuke in Oppenheimer, which apparently is an absolute masterpiece of sound. Yeah.

But it's so loud that it's leaking into the Barbie movie. Thought that was funny. Yeah, there's that. And other news, because we're just can't get enough Barbie news, Margot Robbie apparently is annoyed that she didn't get to make out with Ryan Gosling. That's a spoiler. But Barbies, they don't make out, they mush. The mounds, yeah.

Mush the mounds. Now, have we decided whether you're going to mush? When are you going to mush your mounds? Is it going to be... Vaughn, Alan Smith. Pre-movie mound mush. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. There's a SpongeBob SquarePants musical.

Of course there is. There sure is. It's SpongeBob SquarePants, the Broadway musical. Now, they aren't in a SpongeBob outfit. I'm looking at a picture of Ethan Slater in 2017. This has been going for ages. He's wearing clothes that look like SpongeBob's clothes, but he's not in like a full-blown costume.

Does he have to wear a sponge? No, that's what I'm saying. He's not wearing a sponge. He's a human man. I would be disappointed if I went to the Spongebob musical and Spongebob wasn't a sponge. Yeah, well if you want disappointment, Patrick Starfish isn't a starfish. But man, the dude's got some

calf muscles. Good lord, he's wearing board shorts and a broad web. That's unbelievable. Squidward doesn't even have eight legs. Yes, he does, actually. I stand corrected. Okay. I've just looked closer. He's got four pairs of shoes on.

We've got something right. So the reason we're talking about the SpongeBob musical, apart from the fact that why haven't I been to Broadway to see the SpongeBob musical, is it is rumoured that the lead, who I just mentioned before, who plays SpongeBob, Ethan Slater, is dating Ariana Grande,

who has only just divorced a few weeks, right? Days. Hours. It would be easy to count the amount of times she has breathed since her divorce, and it would be to work out the minutes. Next to no time has passed. Guys, this musical looks so bad. Why are some of them human,

but some of them have like a little bit of a fish gesture? Like Mr. Crab is a man. He's got crab hands. Perfect. But the sponge is in a sponge. The sponge is just a human. As a boy. Well, that sponge is now sponging up against Ariana Grande.

Did you see that? Tom Kenny's wife? Yeah. Tom Kenny, the actual voice of SpongeBob from the cartoons, yeah. Was like, no, no, no, she's not dating him. He's still married to me. And he's like 60-something. He would love it.

But she... There's two SpongeBobs. He is going to be in Wicked with her, which is the story of the witches from The Wizard of Oz. Yeah, backdated. He's going to be in Wicked with her, and I'm calling it. It's a situation ship. It's where you're in a relationship with someone

We've battled the rumours, yeah. Yeah. We're fine now. You did the thing. We did the thing. It didn't work. That's fine. We're all grown-ups here.

We are talking about situationships. Ariana Grande is separated from her husband, and I've just been told apparently they've been separated for a while. We just didn't go public with it. So that marriage lasted two breaths. Yeah. It wasn't that long ago. Definitely under a year. Yeah just didn't go public with it. So that marriage lasted two breaths. Yeah. It wasn't that long ago. Definitely under a year. Yeah.

Wasn't it more like two? I don't know. It doesn't feel like a man. Okay. Wasn't it just yesterday she was dating Pete Davidson? I think so, yeah. Ah, so now she is seeing a guy called Ethan who was Spongebob on Broadway who is going to be in the Wicked musical with her. And I'm calling it it's a showmance. Yeah, for sure. They're spending so much time together,

they're like, I think we love each other. Right. Are you saying that because he's not that hot? What? He's not Hollywood hot. No.

He's Broadway. He's Broadway. He's theatre. Is theatre hot different than Hollywood hot? A thousand percent. Yeah, because no one can, you don't get the close-ups in theatre.

Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah, right. The closest you get is the front row and even then you can't really see too much of their money. It's a bit like how radio is to TV, right? Well, I mean, two of us have been on TV. Oh, okay, yeah.

But you're not any more, though. No, I'm still TV hot. No, you kind of don't have any TV jobs now. I mean, he's got you there. He's got me there. Wow, he has got me there. Yeah, I me there. Wow, he has got me there. Yeah, I think you've slipped really into the radio hole there. No, because Baycock's coming.

You know it's been postponed, hasn't it? I am working with a couple of mingers here. A couple of radio mingers. A couple of real mingers. So we want to know when you've been in one of these. These situationships, these showmans. Yeah. Oh, we're hearing from some situations.

I can't believe we didn't even contemplate working on super yachts. Oh, so many Kiwis do go and work on super yachts. They're called boat goggles. Says 156. Oh, like beer goggles. Yeah, boat goggles, working on a yacht, not good. Another one, I was a stewardess on a yacht, 059. This is how, by the way, when I don't have their name,

I'm going to start addressing them by the last three numbers and their phone number. Okay, fantastic. 059. Is that okay with everybody? Yeah, but I don't want the listeners to guess. I'm looking forward to the day we're at the 007. Oh, yeah.

I don't want the listeners to guess the other, like, five digits and stalk them. I mean, if they can, they deserve to be able to stalk them. That's some fantastic maths work. 059. I was a stewardess on the yachts for a season and I had a situation with the chef. Yeah, that's hot.

Hot. When we made it to shore, that relationship dried up. Oh, nice, nice, nice. It's because everybody's in their polos and their little shorty shorts and tanned. And the chef feeds you. Yeah. And you're at sea.

Yeah. That's hot, man. I would have imagined, you know, on the boats, the original boats that left England and such, Europe, and made their way down to the South Pacific, I'd imagine the chef was a very sought-after character. Oh, yeah. Kept them fit.

Yeah, absolutely. Had access to the vitamin C. I was a dance teacher and I had a boyfriend at the time and I fell into a situation with one of my older students. Oh, okay. You had to do that? I mean, that's a little bit hot. It's a little bit hot.

Who's still, the guy who was on The Bachelorette. Art Green. No, no, no, no, The Bachelorette. He was a young guy. What was his name? He did it with his dance partner on, she was the red-headed chick. They're still together. Oh, really? Okay. And he was very,? He did it with his dance partner on. She was the red-headed chick. They're still together.

Okay. And he was very, very tall. Remember? Muscly. Oh, hang on. It's in the chat. Vaz. Shane Cortez has lasted a long while with his dance partner.

Nerida. And she's still got the moves. Mm, yeah. Vaz. What? Vaz. I don't know if you can say that on the radio. Vaz, who was on The Bachelorette.

It's called a vasectomy. He's with Alex Vaz. That don't know if you can say it on the radio. Vaz, who was on The Bachelorette. It's called a vasectomy. He's with Alex Vaz. That's right, yes, yes. He was on it. He's with his partner still. In New Zealand? Yeah. See, I don't think you could do Dancing with the Stars.

You may fall in love with your... Well, that also happened to another one, but he had Big Fish Fry. The what? You have been... That's weird. Name suppression. You have been commissioned to take a lover.

Yeah, I know, but only a famous lover or a female lover. Right. You could do female dance. Yeah. I know, but I want to be buffed around. You could get a strong one. Camp America situation ship here, he wasn't even hot. And then I caught him with another one of the instructors.

Oh. Then amazingly, she left him because she had a crush on me. It's a camp America love triangle. My goodness. That hurts when they're not that hot, but they're still dead on you. I know, and you're like, oh, I must have a real radio face. You must be a real radio minger.

But then it comes back around. Yeah. That the person that they thought was hotter than you, thinks you're hotter than them. Yeah. Is that what makes it a triangle? Yeah, I suppose so. Broadcasting school.

No. Oh, yeah, that's a classic. Oh, yeah, drama school. Drama school is a small class. It's a very intimate class. And I'm always surprised when you meet an intern with a boyfriend or girlfriend that they met at broadcasting school and they last for a little bit longer. That always surprises me.

I was living in rural Japan. Okay. Now, I would have thought rural Japan might have had a few people. Yeah. I was teaching English. I met a Kiwi guy who became a friend with benefits because, and I'll say it, he spoke English. Ended up moving in with him When the lease finished on my place

Lived together for a while And decided to get married Because why not Yeah Now we've been married for 16 years With a kid and a mortgage in Auckland Wait so That's not a situation

That's still a situation That's an ongoing situation Yeah It's unfolding It's unfolding as we go Police college A hotbed of situationships Oh yeah I bet.

Derek, when do they get issued the tight-sleeved polos? They get fitted with them and they pull them in. Do they tape measure around your bicep and then make it just a little bit tighter than it should be? Yeah, they must do. They must do. T-shirts don't fit like that. No, no, no, definitely not meant to.

Every Christmas party, a specific co-worker and I go home together. Barely talk to each other for the rest of the year. It's hot. Wow. It's a Christmas situationship. Okay. Yeah. for the rest of the year. It's hot. It's a Christmas situation-ship. Okay. Yeah. So there we go.

It's happening. It happens. It's out there. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day has a choice for you both. Okay.

Because this morning Stephen messaged me. Now, I've never heard from Stephen before. It said you've got a message request on Facebook from Stephen. Be careful. This is how scams start. I know. Okay. Actually, Stephen messaged me last night request on Facebook from Stephen. Be careful. This is how scams start. I know. Okay. Actually, Stephen messaged me last night at 23 minutes to 12.

Goodness me. You were fast asleep. 11.33 p.m. I've been asleep for hours. On a relatively early night last night, Stephen, whoever this Stephen Joker is, up and at him. He's a primate keeper at Sydney Zoo, according to this. Oh. That sounds like a joke. Sounds like. Oh. That sounds like a joke. Sounds like a scam.

That sounds like a joke. That sounds fun. He said, I mean, listen to the podcast. So here's today's fact of the day choice for you. Okay. Do you want a fact of the day about the killer bees, the bees, not the gang? Yeah.

Or do you want a fact of the day that is a follow-up to the world's tallest man reaching his hand down a dolphin throat? Oh, that one. That one. That one. That one. And then do the killer bees tomorrow. Brilliant. Killer bees, y'all.

Great for me because then I don't have to find a fact of the day tonight. You've just done tonight's work now. I might even go to bed earlier, Stephen. I'll go to bed early. I want to go to the pub and go to the bed early. Let's go to the pub at like five. Let's go to the pub at four. You're having a healthy week, remember?

I didn't drink last night. Healthy week concluded. Stephen says, just heard the podcast about the world's tallest man saving the dolphin for fact of the day. Here's another fact of the day. The same thing happened in the

1970s with an NBA player. Oh! Well, he... 1978. He put his arm down the throat of a dolphin. You bet. 1978. Sacramento Kings assistant coach Clifford Ray gets a call.

Hey, are you still six foot nine? Yes. I think so. Hey, Clifford, it's the local aquarium here. Okay. And he says, hello, local aquarium. Yeah. They say, now, you're a long old arm on you.

Yeah, well, he's six foot eight. Six foot nine. Six foot nine, sorry. Famously, apparently dolphin stomachs don't do well in surgery. Because remember, that's why the Mongolian man had to reach down the... Because they tried to do surgery and everything tightened up. Yes, yeah. And so they couldn't get it out.

And they said, would you mind popping on down and jamming your arm down the throat of a dolphin that swallowed a large screw. It undid a screw in its enclosure. Yeah. Lift it. Lift it, Lucy. Lucy.

Lucy. Lady Lucy. Ruddy, doddy. And it undid a screw and then ate it, swallowed it. Oh. It might have just wanted to play with it. But, you know, you should never put things in your mouth that you're not willing to swallow and that includes screws and well i'm just saying if you're mucking around if you're playing the don't look you don't you

two lose it on me i'm holding the sexy wheelbarrow is once again in control of the show the only person in the studio not having a meltdown i'm just saying if you put i did not until i looked at fletch as i said it and he lost it and I was like, what have I said? And then I realized what I said. This is coming from a father. He always said, don't put things in there because you'll play the fool or you'll take a breath in and you could very well swallow it. So don't put it in your mouth.

It's great advice. Don't put that in your mouth. You could swallow it. So this is what the dolphin did. It swallowed the screw and they couldn't get it out. So they asked him to come down and retrieve the screw from the dolphin's stomach. And so he did. He went down.

Same technique. Now, this happened some 10 years. No, some 20 years. Oh, wow. Before it happened in China. Do you think that's where they got the idea from? Perhaps. Yeah, okay.

Perhaps the word got around aquariums and dolphin keepers and maybe just the wider zoo community now that primate keeper Stephen. They put the dolphin under. They put a towel around the teeth, the drawer. Yeah. And then just go in. They don't even put it like fully under. Oh, right.

Yeah, but they use a towel to hold the drawer open and also guard the serrated teeth. Yeah. And then the arm goes down. Do you know how hard it is? You know when you drop something some day down and all you can get is your fingers to it and you've got to like pinch it? Yes.

Because you can't get your thumb. A screw would be tiny. At least the plastic in the other dolphin would have been a bit easier to get. Handfuls. Yeah. Handfuls of plastic. Gosh.

But anyway, he did it. So today's fact of the day is whilst you might have thought it was impressive that the world's tallest man reached down the gullet of a dolphin in 2006 in 1978 Sacramento Kings assistant coach and

a player of 10 years for the Golden State Warriors. Yep. Clifford Ray reached down a dolphin's throat and pulled out a screw. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, Chanelette sits in the same place every day.

Yeah. At the social media desk. She is on the far side. And all the girlies, Annie, I think even Jared, they leave things the social media desk. She is on the far side and all the girlies, Annie, I think even Jared, they leave things behind on the desk, don't you? You've got your favourite pen. Just a few little knick-knacks, like a pen, yeah.

A few things, but not much. It's not like a normal desk. You're kind of hot desk. Yes. Yeah, like office is a hot desk. You can't call her a hot desk. She's more than just a desk. You can't say you office is a hot desk. You can't call her a hot desk. She's more than just a desk. You can't say you've got a hot desk. You can't call women desks anymore. It's different.

No, it's a term. It's an open office term. You can't do it. Now, we kick off the day. It's the same with us. We share the studio. We kick off the day. And then later in the afternoon with Bree and Clint,

they come in here and they use the same studio. Other people use it at times. You leave a respectful place, don't you? You hate mess. You get quite angry when there's mess. I noticed Kim Crossman was on yesterday. And there's a Caramello bar and an Asahi beer. Left behind.

She's not following the kaupapa of the studio and it seems that the same has been happening out on the desk. Shannon, tell us the story. So I have a limited edition Powerpuff Girls lip gloss. Now, it's important to note, limited edition. How is that limited edition? Well, because the Powerpuffs are quite special. So it was a little collab between Colourpop and the Powerpuff Girls.

Right, okay, right. Get on board, Fletch. I'm so sorry, I didn't know. It's a Girls. Right, okay. Get on board, Fletch. I'm so sorry. It's a collab. Okay, yeah, it's a collab. So it's a very sweet smelling and it's a roller lip gloss. So the girlies will know there's a metal ball in the middle. It's not like a chapstick. It's got a roller ball and you

roll it on your lips. And liquid comes out from within onto the lips. Like a deodorant ball. Like a ball. Yeah, very. So I have it on my desk just for having during the show. And I get a message from producer Ella from our wonderful drive show. She said, hi. So before you hear this from someone else,

I have to admit I used your lip gloss today. It was like a subconscious thing, and I didn't even click what the heck I was doing before someone called me out saying, Ella, is that yours? She said she was super sorry, and then she said that Clint was going to talk about it on their show. So she wanted to come to me before it went to public radio. She's been lipping on your lips.

My goodness me. That is so yuck. That is, why do you, I wouldn't, that's on you though for leaving it in a public space. Oh, whoa, we don't victim blame here. Yeah. We don't victim blame here. We. We don't victim blame here. We used to call her a desk.

Yeah, that hot desk she was asking for. You never share a lip gloss. A lip balm or a lip gloss, you don't share that. What about the ones that come out of the tube you could squeeze it onto their finger? Yes. At a stretch. At a stretch.

At a stretch, because it's still got to pass over the hole that you've been putting in your mouth. Yes. On your mouth. So I went back, listen, I'm a bit of a gross girl myself. It didn't bother that you've been putting in your mouth. Yes. On your mouth. So I went back. Listen, I'm a bit of a gross girl myself. It didn't bother me. I was like, ha-ha, that's so funny.

Like, if you want to kiss me, just ask. What the hell? That's all the women want to say. Marched upstairs to the HR department. You're going to lose your hot chest. You and Fletch might as well go at the same time. But no, so I basically just said, that's funny. No worries.

Then I was like, I'm going to listen to what they talked about on radio. So I went back in the archives because I've got the little doodacks, you know. And I listened and it was a lot more than she admitted to on the message. She said that she's been using it for weeks. Oh, yeah. I'm so blue. And she used her finger for sanitary reasons. So she'd been rubbing her finger on the metal ball.

Good dirty finger. That's worse, I reckon. That's worse. And then she graduated to just straight ball to lip. So she's finger to ball and then finger to lip. It's worse because your fingers are opening door handles, toilets. Picking your nose. Picking your nose.

Eating Vegemite. Yeah. So she has apologised, but I just thought we should bring this back to breakfast radio now. Your finger is used for eating Vegemite? If we could just touch on that. I always finger a tub of Vegemite. You get a finger straight in the Vegemite? Absolutely.

I love a bit of veggie. Really? Use a spoon if you love it that much. Yeah. Well, it's my Vegemite. I'm not sharing it with, you know, Ella. What about your fiancé? Ella would be the sort of person that takes too much

butter from the butter thing and then butters her toast and then it's got crummy butter and she wipes it back on the edge. Yeah. Mankey. Mankey. What, are you going to buy a new one and put this in the bins? I can't. It's limited edition. Sorry, of course. Get Fletch.

You were not listening to the hot desk. They only made one of these? Yeah, it was so limited they made one. Please stop calling her a hot desk. You started. When I think of going on a date, if I was ever go dating again, I'm thinking I'm getting dressed up. Yeah. I'm thinking I'm getting dressed up. Yeah.

I'm thinking I'm having a good long shower. Yep. Before. Yeah. I'm thinking maybe I'm going to have a little glass of wine or a cocktail. We're going to have some dinner. We're going to chat. We're going to talk.

I'm going to see where the night goes. That's what it was for me. Yep. When I dipped a toe in the dating world before I locked on to a man. Now, Gen Z keeps coming up with all these dating trends, I dipped a toe in the dating world before I locked on to a man. Now, Gen Z keeps coming up with all these dating trends, booze-less dating, which I think is great. Going to yoga.

Going to the gym together, going to yoga together, playing, you know, checkers or something. And they won't even call it Chinese checkers anymore. And they won't even call it snake. They won't ever get cancer. So he is one of the worst ones, I think. But is this Gen Z to blame, or are you just saying that? Well, it's a feeling. They've got a track record.

And I'm not here to slam Gen Z, because I think you dudes are bussing no cat. Oh. I'm upset. I'm upset, Dad. Don't be upset. Have your kids asked you to start dropping them around the corner yet? No, no, no.

It's happening. I can't wait. If you keep telling them to have a bus and day no cap. Bus and day no cap. I can't wait for them to disown you. So this trend is. Fact. Is that fact?

Is it? Yeah, okay, yeah, cool. Okay. So this trend is like, say, Vaughn, I asked you out on a date. No thanks. Wow, too quick. Is it because she's a radio man? It's because I've got a radio face.

Yeah, I mean, got any TV projects coming up? I'm not doing a radio thing. Okay, Fletletch let's say I asked you out on a date Okay And my proposal is That we meet up Around nine

Or ten o'clock In the morning Okay That's AM Yeah And we've got normal jobs Not radio jobs Say office jobs

Yeah And we meet up at a Cafe And we might say hello And get some Brekkie and a coffee, but then we work our individual jobs side by side. Work from home at the cafe together.

Work from home at the cafe together. Wait, people are doing this? When are we macking in the bathroom, you know? Yeah. How does that happen when I'm in between emails and you're in between spreadsheets? Nah, you're entering your career era. Yeah, right.

Errors and such. You're going to be doing your job. You've got no time to be talking to this person. But it's like, well, that's just like another thing you could do as an idea for a date day. It's like we're just there with our laptops going. Hi. It's weird.

Yeah, and also like you might be getting calls from work. I know, and then you've got to talk about like business stuff in front of them. Yeah. Is it that people are so busy they don't have time to date? I don't really feel like people are that busy at the moment. I see a lot of people faffing

about, you know? Yeah, right. Yeah, I don't know. They say that it can be a really motivating thing, so you get a lot of work done because you're like, you know, you're not. Yeah, I don't know. They say that it can be a really motivating thing so you get a lot of work done because you're like, you know, you're not going to sit there and do what I do. It was Toshua on my phone and, you know, a couple of emails and call it a big day. Oh, such a big day.

Have I had a big day? Such a big day. They're saying because you're motivated by the buzz of a crush, you sort of get a lot done. That's a no from me. That's a no from me. That's a no from me. That's a hard no. Hard no.

Hard no. No cap. That ain't bussing. That ain't bussing. Don't you start. Dude, I'm asleep on that. Low key. No, stop.

Shut up. We have no choice. I'm going to stop. No, man, it hits different. I'm going to stop. I'm going to stop this right now. They ought to clap back. I'm going to stop. No, man, it hits different. I'm going to stop. I'm going to stop this right now. They ought to clap back. I counted 79 all rights today.
