The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Thanks to McCafe. Great things are brewing, one cup at a time. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. It's two minutes past six. Hayley broadcasting from an Airbnb at an undisclosed location near the great New Zealand baking...

Fiasco. Fiasco. The baking fiasco. I sure am Tell you what We could live anywhere in the world Some people don't even know That I'm not in the studio

I know fools We have a dream don't we Of moving down to the Beautiful Otago region Oh That would be Central Otago That would be great

We could do the ski reports In the morning Oh my god yeah On the radio That'd be lovely. That'd be so much fun. Well, I figured we'd still just be doing this show, but from there. No, I imagine we'd just be doing a local show.

Doing the local show. Yeah, doing the local show. We could fit in with the locals. I just thought we'd do this show from down there. Say the road's closed because there's a bunch of sheep holding up traffic, that kind of stuff. Right. Are they out or are they being shifted? They're out, actually. They've got out. They've got or are they being shifted? They're out. They're out.

They've got out. They've got out. Gav, your sheep are on the road, mate. That sort of thing. Yeah. Speaking directly to the sheep owner. Great stuff. Top Six is coming up on the show,

and the government have launched an energy-saving campaign. Yeah. They've given us some tips to save the power, and it's an election year, so the opposition have told them it's a nanny state. You know, you can expect all of these sorts of stories this year in an election year. One side of the thing says one thing, and one side of the other strongly disagree for no real purpose because they probably would have said the same thing if they were in power.

It's that sort of tit-for-tat nonsense that it makes everybody sick of the election year before it even starts. It's good fun. But I've got the top six ways, top six other ways to save power other than the government-recommended ways to save power. Right. It's coming up in the top six. Next on the show. There are some restaurants that are utterly taking the mick,

taking the mickey. The cost of living keeps on rising, and they are just, it's ridiculous. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. The cost of living keeps on rising and they are just, it's ridiculous. Your Sydney correspondent. I've got some food news from Sydney. Oh, yeah? Yeah, sick as. So there is a bar in Sydney.

It's called Buddy's Bar. Never been, never heard of it. Yeah. But from the look of it, it looks quite swanky, quite Sydney. You know, quite nice. They're not letting Vaughan in in his white shoes, are they? No, they're absolutely not. You need your town shoes

on, Vaughan. Oh, no, but I forgot. Your town slip-ons. I forgot my Royals. Your town Royals slip-ons. You've got to get Dad's old retired business shoes. Okay, I'll do it. Can I just say I've started following a cobbler on Instagram. A cobbler? You've got a cobbler?

I've got a cobbler, but this guy's like an old school cobbler. Oh, yeah. He resold a few shoes and he even did a pair of Louis Vuittons. Oh, wow. No, Christian Louboutins. Okay.

Is that what they're called? Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton and Christian Laboutin Louis Vuitton the red guy red bottom what a hell of a job he does a good job

hypnotic watching if anybody needs their town souls I'm linking you constantly to beautiful Christian content you are constantly sending me Christian content let me see if I can find my dude here you have not linked me. Well, you find that and I'll tell you the story. You carry on. This bar, Buddy's Bar in Sydney

has come under fire because they have a new menu item. It's $8 and it is two slices of white bread with the crust cut off, margarine and hundreds and thousands. Otherwise known as fairy bread.

$8? $8. Wow. Now, they have added, and I want to try this. Yeah. So it's, you know, your butter and your hundreds and thousands. Yeah. They've added Pop Rocks.

You know, the stuff is like. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. But still, people are like, this is bloody robbery. $8. This is $8. Especially because it'll be like, this is bloody robbery. $8. You know, this is $8. Especially because that'll be like $1 loaf bread.

Yeah. Oh, if you're lucky. If you're lucky. So everyone was like, oh, that's taking the piss. But then a lot of other people were like, I tried it, and I've got to say, with a cocktail, she's delicious. With a cocktail. I guess it's going to soak up a bit of alcohol, too.

Oh, wait, so this isn't just for kids that are there, you know, you get a fluffy on the menu. This is adults, adults, fairy bread for adults. Like a fun, nostalgic sort of snacky wacky. Anyway, so this has got people talking. I want to try it. And you know what? I would 100% spend $8 on this.

It's just the kind of person I am. But there is another cafe in Sydney called Little Jack Horner. I believe he sat in a corner, but don't quote me. They have got a lot of backlash online because they've been charging $11.50 for a

side of avocado. What? You wouldn't even get a whole avocado for that, would you? Half an avocado for $11.50. And it's a side. They don't do anything with it. Like it's just sliced. It's not smashed.

It's just sliced. It's on the side. Also, the rest of their menu is insane. They've got $12.60 for a side of bacon. No. Let's talk about what is a side of bacon. Well, you're not getting a whole packet, are you? Two to three rashes.

They've got a... Also, can I say, this weekend, if you're going to do bacon and eggs, when you're picking your bacon, be picky. Some of them you can see. If the streaky bacon looks wet... Yeah, but sometimes it's too expensive to go for the bouche stuff.

No, but see, you're paying in the non-bouche stuff, you're paying for liquid because it's 500 grams and so much of it is liquid. If you get something that looks a bit drier, trust me, in a pan, it's going to crisp up nicely or you can cook it however you want it. It moistens up. If it's vacuum packed in there and it looks a little bit drier,

it's a little bit more expensive. Keep in mind you're paying a lot on weight and a lot of that weight is water. I like the bougie stuff, you know, that comes in like two small packs and a big pack and it's thinner. You know that really thin bacon you can find?

No, no, no. I'm all about those thick bacon cuts. No, I'm not a huge fan of bacon and I don't want people to come at me for it. They've also got a side of halloumi for $12.60, a side of baked beans for $7.30, and extra mushrooms for $14.70. Everybody wants to move to Australia for the better life, but this brunch menu sounds expensive. Very expensive. I've got a photo from them though and the brunch, like,

it does look yum. When they say a side of mushrooms though, they basically mean two portobellos cut in half. No. For like $15. Taking the piss. That's wild, man. Taking the mack. That's out of control. I'll still have fairy bread though. Yeah, same. I'd buy that. You guys should do a fairy bread

cocktail. Add that to your list. Add that to the list. Great idea. And I was thinking, same. I'd buy that. You guys should do a fairy bread cocktail. Add that to your list. Add that to the list. Great idea. And I was thinking, actually, I got to thinking, because I'm a bit of an ideas guy. Yeah. After you've done your series of signature cocktails that are favorites, you move on to biscuits.

Oh, my God. Or a Belgian biscuit. Imagine a Belgian biscuit cocktail. Like it would be gingery. Yeah. Oh, my God. What about a digestive? Imagine a Belgian biscuit. Imagine a Belgian biscuit cocktail. Like it would be gingery. Yeah. And you could do the rim. Like oats and grains in your cocktail. Maybe you sit this one out, Grandma.

You can move on to the bourgeois biscuits. My wife could have like a fluffy bit on the top. Oh, yeah. Good ideas from you. A biscuit on the side. He really wants to be invited to these cocktail nights, No, no, no. I absolutely have got no interest in going.

He really wants an invite, doesn't he? I don't like sweet cocktails, but as I said, I'm an ideas guy, and I can't turn this thing off. Next on the show, we'll go to you, Vaughn, in the waterblasting department. I would absolutely love to talk waterblasting with you guys next. And these bloody idiots, these young idiots, these TikTok fools, and waterblasting, not taking what could be potentially dangerous seriously at all.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Any excuse to Google waterblasters on work time, get myself all racked up. Oh, God, Vaughn, put it away. This is my, I'm not mucking around, I've got a 3200 PSI. That's a strong one. Yeah, it's a Honda-powered Karcher is what I've got in the waterblasting department.

It's a Karcher waterblaster with a Honda engine on it. The reliability of Honda. We've got a Karcher waterblaster. She's bloody top-notch waterblasters. I do love watching the waterblaster videos when people do their driveways. But people are using waterblasters and they're hurting themselves. Well, the potential to hurt themselves. videos when people do their driveways. But people are using water blasters and

they're hurting themselves. Well, the potential to hurt themselves. TikTok, people on TikTok are using car cleaning bays. You know where you pull in and you put your $2 in and you rush around as quick as you can to soak it all up because you're like, I'm not paying any more than $2 for the full soap.

And then you're just short, so then you put in another $2 and then you soap it up and then you've got to put the brush back and then go and press the button and turn it to high jets and away you go. Yeah. Scrub, scrub, scrub, and it's just a race against time. People are using those bays and especially the high-pressure hot water to clean their shoes.

Now, their shoes are on their feet while they're doing it. Oh, no, don't do that. Now, these are quite high-press while they're doing it. Oh, no, don't do that. Now, these are quite high pressure and sometimes hot water. Yeah. Not always, but sometimes hot water in these water blasters. So there's the potential there for danger. Now, what I'm worried about is someone's going to go home and mum and dad aren't home.

They're going to go and get the Karcher out, the Grunty Honda-powered Karcher. Yeah. Give that a pull start and blow their sneakers straight in half and take half of their feet with them at the same time. Like cut their shoe off their foot. I remember as a kid, because over winter, when the milking wasn't happening,

Dad would every year do a big shed clean. And one aspect of it was going through and water blasting with the concrete and the pipes and everything for any built-up stuff on it. And once when I was a kid, I ran it across the tip of my boot and it literally like carved out a gum boot. Yeah, they're so powerful. They're so dangerous.

And it's way more fun. You do it on a wide spread. Yeah. And of course the power lessens because it's covering more area, but it was always fun to flick it to the nozzle that was just like one intense high beam. Yes. And write your name in something. The first fence I ever owned, Aaron was like,

go give it a water blast. And I was like, absolutely. And I just like carved lines into it. And I was like, I think I'm doing it wrong. Because it's too close. Yeah. Oh, you're too close. Yeah.

And you water blast, you tear paint off with a water blaster. Yeah, right. Or if you water blast a deck, I've got a special deck attachment. Always. Wow. What a flex. I don't want to deck, I've got a special deck attachment. Boys, what a flex. I don't want to flex on everybody, but I've got a special deck attachment, and it spins. Now, if you do it with a straight wand, you can take the surface off the wood, and it leaves it sort of like fluffy and tough.

We've all been to someone's house or gone past someone's house, and you can just see it's like a snail's been across their path or deck. Yeah, that guy. They haven's been across their path or deck. Yep, yep, yep. That guy. They haven't done it well. That thing. Right, but so don't use it on your feet because people are actually causing nerve damage. Well, it can. It can literally cut you. It can like put so much pressure on nerves, it can give you

nerve damage. It'll cut your shoe in half if you use a powerful enough one. Also, just put your shoes in the... Dishwasher. No, not the dishwasher. The... Washing machine. Washing machine. That's what I do. Do you have to pack something in, just put your shoes in the... Dishwasher. No, not the dishwasher. The washing machine. That's what I do. Do you have to pack something in them before you put them in the washing machine?

I just chuck them on for a 30-minute cycle. If you want to put up with the sound, you don't have to. Sometimes I put a towel in to soften the doof-doof. I told you I washed a couple of my caps in the dishwasher, right? Did you? I still run online.

Yeah. Because you put them in the washing machine and they get tumbled and smashed and they lose all their integrity. So I got a bowl and I put it in the hat and I put the hat in the dishwasher on the top rack. Yeah. Actually did a bloody good job. Did it?

You know those cages? Those hat cages that you put in the wash? Yes. Oh, okay. You put the hat in there and it holds it in shape, eh? And you wash it and then you also dry it in that so it dries in shape. Did you put the dishwashing and then you also dry it in that so it dries in shape. Did you put the dishwashing tablet in? Yeah. To clean it.

That's like caustic soda, though. Yeah, but it rinses it off at the end. Okay. If I'm eating food off it, I reckon it's going to be okay on my head, personally. That's my take on it. Fair call. And who knows? Maybe down the road we're going to learn it wasn't good for us to be eating off those plates at all, but at least they were plain.

True. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Well, there's an experiment that's about to take place in France, in Toulisse. Is it? Now, they need 20 people to stay in bed for two months straight. I'll do it. I'll do it.

I'll do it. I can't find any. You could not do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. I can't find any. You could not do it. I could not do this and you could not. You think you want to, but you absolutely could not. This is from me who I'm like, I'm going to have a big sleep in on Saturday and then Saturday rolls around and seven o'clock's here

and I'm like, let's go. Let's go. What are we doing today? What are we doing today? We're going to some markets. We're going to some markets. We're going to get a breakfast. I'm the same as you, Hallie.

I feel like Vaughn, you'd be great at this. Oh, it depends. What have I got? You've got a PlayStation. Yeah, okay. You'd be able to bring your PlayStation. Okay. And a couple of hands.

Well, they're good because I need them to play the PlayStation, if you know what I'm saying. Well, 12 people are about to embark on the world's longest sleepover. Would you need pencils? So this is the whole reason for this experiment is it's all to do with space because, you know, they're going to need people in space for a long time

traveling to places like Mars and Jupiter and sure. Uranus. And so the group will be confined to beds designed to mimic the rigors of space for 60 days straight. So there'll be, because because you know, when there's no gravity and you're just sitting in bed, you lose muscle.

Of course. Atrophy. That's exactly, atrophy. So they want to, so they're going to have three groups in the study and part of this research. One of the groups will act as a controller and they'll just be in bed the whole time.

So you'll just be in bed for six months straight. Six months? I thought you said two months. Sorry, two months. Jesus. 60 days. 60 days. The other group will have a little exercise bike

outfitted onto the space bed. So they get to like... Pedal. Pedal. But sitting down. Sitting down, yeah. Or does the bike lower from the ceiling and you're on your back and so you're upside down?

I don't know how that. But a third group will cycle while inside a centrifuge machine, which is like, yeah. Is that like to mimic space, weightlessness? Maybe it'll give you. Yeah. Yeah, this is interesting. How are they going to mimic space and weightlessness?

So the spinning will ideally act as a counterbalance to the loss of gravity in space that's being mimicked by the bed. Right. And so they're just going to look at how, but yeah, that would be boring, eh? Two months of that. Yeah, you'd start to go a little stir crazy, I think. It doesn't say how much they're getting to volunteer

or to be part of the study. How much would you do it for? It'd have to be a lot of money, eh? Thousands. Yeah, a lot of money. A lot of money. Because 60 days is a long time. Because they'll want some fit specimens, I reckon.

And you've got to ask someone who's fit to completely go to pack over two months. Do you have to be an athlete to go to space? No, but you have to be very fit. Well, we're all good then. We're prime specimens. We'll make the cut. Well, we're all good then. We're prime specimens. We'll make the cut. Yeah, totally, yeah. Huh.

Yeah, I'd get really bored. And then, yeah, you're like, what happens to your body afterwards? Like these are the trials. Like I was reading about a guy who set the world record for longest time awake without falling asleep. And it was something like 12 days or something you'd be going insane yeah and so it was like a trial to see what would happen but then afterwards you spend your whole life dealing with that because he had lots of issues like had insomnia

for the rest of his life oh yeah it was like that um hunger experiment they did in america towards the end of world war ii Destroyed them. Absolutely ruined them. They all had eating disorders for the rest of their lives and like they were wild. So like if you were in bed for that time and you lose all your muscle and you get little bed sores and you're like oh. You lose the gains brah.

Lose the gains. I can't be losing my gains. No. No no no. You've worked so hard for that dumper. Especially with this no gym routine of yours. I've been working hard at this new routine of mine of no gym, no diet. Okay? And I'm not going to lose these gains. No.

Well, if you've got a spare two months, knock yourself out. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. The University of Otago has been doing some research and they're comparing it to research done in the 90s, the early 2000s, and they've just done some more, looking at the habits of teenagers, kids still in high school, and how they are spending their spare time socialising,

looking particularly at how they are interacting with naughty things like alcohol, drugs, cars and early sexual activities. I love these studies where they go back, like they've got data from like the 90s or the 80s or they started doing this in the 60s or something. It's so fascinating. Yeah. I know. So basically it's almost a complete reversal from 20 years ago. Wow.

So when we were like all... Teenagers. Yeah. The 90s and early 2000s were a wild time. And it's those very people that raised those teenagers in the 90s and 2000s that are now all saying that society's gone to hell in a handbasket. It's like maybe you want to check back when your kids are up to shenanigans,

but there just wasn't social media to catch them at every turn. I know. I mean, because we're all like there's ram raids and stuff, and it's like, yeah, that's a problem. But, man, the stuff we used to get up to. And then even when I would talk to my mum about what she would do as a teenager, she used to have like one of her closest friends' parents lived out of town. So they got her a small flat in Dargaville.

And so during lunchtime, and they used to like skip class and go to this flat and like smoke cigarettes and drink. And then the nuns would be there like knocking on the door like, Patsy Sproul, get on the door like patsy sprout and patsy robinson get out of here and i was like i didn't do that the nuns the nuns oh my god i'd be so scared if a nun was knocking on my door yelling at me unless it was whoopi goldberg from sister act two because i feel like or sister act one because i feel like she would come in smoke a cigarette tell us what we're doing was wrong,

we'd all sing a song and then, you know, life would be better. Yeah. So researchers are saying 20 years ago, young people would go out, hang out on the streets, go to the park, smoke, drink, drive around in cars, you know, often with alcohol involved. Now, with this research, today's teens are more often socialising online and when they do meet face-to-face, it's in each other's homes with parents present. So there's less unsupervised time for these teenagers.

Lame. We used to just wait till Amy Soss's parents fell asleep, you know, and then get up to all sorts of ruckus. Teen drinking rates have been falling since the 2000s at a rapid rate. That's good, though. Oh, totally. I'm not saying it's bad. Teen drinking rates have been falling since the 2000s at a rapid rate. That's good, though. Oh, totally.

I'm not saying it's bad. No, no, no. Teen drinking is very bad. But also the same thing with other risky behaviours, like substance abuse, smoking, and teen sex. Right. That's also good as a man who will in a few years have teenagers. So basically they interviewed a whole bunch of students recently between the ages of 14 to 17 at a co-ed school

and they compared their responses with a study that was conducted in 1991 and 2001 and they said the difference was striking, that when they did the original study, more than half of the students between 14 and 17 were regularly drinking and going to parties by year 10, which is age 14, 15, and by year 12, which is like 16, 17, all of them had had at least some experience drinking with peers. 100% of them.

Wow. Now this year, one of the year 10 students, age 14, 15, said that they drunk alcohol socially on a regular occasion. Only one? One. Wow. And then even in years 11, 12, getting older, three-quarters did not drink

or would say that they would only on rare occasions have a drink and usually with family. Wow. It's just incredible. Do you think it's because socialising in the 90s and 2000s, you had to go out to socialise? And then it was just a done thing. But now, of course, you had to go out to socialise. And then it was just a done thing.

But now, of course, you can socialise sitting at home. Yeah. Meaning game or... That's the vibe is that they're spending more time online. So they're not together. You'll be like, as a teenager, you're probably not going to sit there chatting online with a glass of wine in your hand. You know, that's later in life. I mean, we all did that in lockdown and that didn't turn out too well, did it? No, we all got a bit pudgy-woodgy.

I had a great time. I mean, all health officials are saying, like, this is fantastic news. Like, teen drinking is terrible. Do you think it's because when we were teenagers, don't drink. Why? I said so, that's why. And that's such a weird reasoning. Whereas now, there is

all this scientific reasoning as to why not to. Yeah, they're just a different generation. Yeah. It's great. It's great. I kind of admire. Well, the good is getting good and the bad is getting badder.

Yeah, badder. Badder. Batterist. Well, maybe they need to bring back purple goannas. That'll get them out. Yeah, pulse. You need a pulse. Do a big delicious. No, no, no. You can't go from get them out. Yeah, pulse. You need a pulse. Do a big delicious...

No, no, no. You can't go from nothing to pulse. You can't go from nothing to pulse. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six. There is a...

You've been listening to sex.life, haven't you? You two are giblets. Find Money in Weird Places campaign. It's a partnership between Energy Efficiency, which is a government agency for clarity, Conservation Authority's EECA Warmer Kiwi Homes Programme and Consumer NZ. With support from the Electricity Authority.

Those are people who know power. And this winter we're meant to get some strain on the grid. Yep. And it's just going to be a strain to pay the power bill. Yeah. Surely not with Nova Energy. With Greg Grover from Nova. Surely Greg Grover will do something about this from Nova.

Alright, he must. I'll make sure it happens. He simply must. I'll see it done. Here are the tips. Checking you're on the best power plan for you and your whanau. Absolutely. How do you check that?

Well, you don't need to. You just sign up with Nova. Oh, my God. I know. They're paying the household bills, but good Lord. Guys, please, please, please. We need this ad campaign. What, do you get it?

You're saying if more people sign up because of the ad campaign, they'll be like, it, please. We need this ad campaign. What, do you get a... Oh, yeah, you're saying if more people sign up because of the ad campaign, they'll be like, it's working, we'll keep them on. Yeah, they need the rollover money. I can see you're doing a bit of a pedal there. It wouldn't be rollover money. It'd be a fresh contract because it's a new ad. Oh, yeah.

A rollover would be if they just keep using the same ads. Yeah, right. Reduce fee. She wants that fresh new shoot days. She loves it. Checking around the best power plant. There's aing around the best power plant There's a website for this Okay There's a website for this

Switching off appliances At the wall When you're not using them Oh whatever mum Mum's been doing it for years Not doing that mum No one knows how to save More money than mum

I think mum turns off her TV at the wall Does she still turn The wifi off at night I don't know If she does anymore Okay I think that was

A router problem Because it was But I don't know Yeah You'd wake up I think that was a router problem because it was, but I don't know. Yeah, you'd wake up, there'd be no Wi-Fi. You're like, why? Setting your heat pump to a maximum of 21 degrees. It does not need to be warmer than 21 degrees in your house. Here's a fact for you. Oh, here we go. Running a heat pump at 26 degrees will use 50% more power than at 21.

Oh, wow. So don't just crank it up. Don't just be like, oh, I'm cold. Crank it to 26. Just put it on 21. It's not going to get to 21 any quicker. Can I go full 26 and then when it's real hot, turn it to 21? It's a waste of time and a waste of power.

Can you go 26, turn it on for an hour, but then turn it off and just live on the residual heat? That's a dumb idea. Okay, 21. Yeah. That's a dumb idea. Okay, 21. Yeah. That's a silly idea. So 21. Changing your washing machine settings

to cold. You get a bit of wash. I always do a cold, yeah. I'm a cold washer. You get a bit of wash. Gotta respect your fabric. The cold water powder and tablets and liquids

don't work well in hot. Let me tell you that. Okay. They're designed to work in cold. I listen to a podcast about laundry detergent. And now you are an expert. I'm somewhat of an expert.

And shortening showers to five minutes. Or just shower at the gym. Hot. Hot play. Hot play. And then your gym membership goes up and you're like, oh, that's unfair. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm getting nothing more for this. Also, when you change light bulbs, go for one of those light bulbs that costs a little bit more, that lasts way longer, that uses less power, and just do them light bulb by light bulb. The LED, yeah. I mean, everybody should be on the LEDs or whatever they are now. They last a lot longer. So anyway, there's the government's sort of like tips. And of course, the opposition's like, don't you tell me what to do.

And it's like, well, we're not telling you what to do. We just say if you want to save some money, this is some tips on how to do it. Not everybody might know. So I've got the top six ways to save even more money this winter. With the miserable dad of winter, Vaughan Smith. Number six, just don't get out of bed. Oh, delightful. Just stay in bed.

You're warm in bed. Pull the curtains when. Just stay in bed. You're warm in bed. Pull the curtains when it's sunny, though. Let the sun in. I know. You've got to... Yes. Because you need some fresh air circulating in the room. Yeah.

Back under the doona. Can we be in bed with the electric blanket on? No! Oh, you're... I know, he's real mean now. Boil the jug, make a cup of coffee, and then use the rest of the jug to fill up your hot water bottle, and then you get back into bed.

Oh, yes. Have a hot tea. Number five on the list of the top six ways to save money this winter. You know what costs a lot of money? Pets. Do you know what's literally walking around bits of meat that you could eat? Also pets. Eat your pets.

No. Eat your pets. Also, have you seen Hayley's Rolly? There's not much to eat. I know, he's a small... He was the runt. There. Eat your pets. Also, have you seen Hayley's Rolly? There's not much to eat. No, he's a small. He was the runt. There's a meal there. There's a soup.

There's a soup. There's a soup. You know, a broth. You can make a Rolly broth. No. Carrots, some onions. I'm going to make a Ralph casserole. Welcome to them.

Number four on the list of the top six ways to save money this winter. I'm going to make a Ralph casserole. Welcome to them. Number four on the list of the top six ways to save money this winter. Just don't pay your bills. That doesn't work, Vaughn. Oh, no, that's bad advice. That'll get your power cut off. Yeah. Yeah, but you're in bed eating your pet broth, so you don't know.

We just do what my apartment neighbours did last winter. They just run an electric cord out to the hallway and use the communal power to pay for the heating. Overnight, eh? They were doing that when the hallway pedestrian shit was low. So when I get up at four, I just turn it off. It's like, check you buggers. Unbelievable. That might have been someone's life support you were switching off.

You don't know that it was running into a heater. I didn't see any coroners come. There was the Hearst house. There was some tape. Crime scene. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six ways to save money this winter.

Throw your wallet away. Without it, you can't spend money. Yeah, I can do it, but I can pay for things on my phone and my watch. Yeah, same. Damn it. Okay, throw them away as well. Throw away everything in any way

you've ever been able to pay money. Number two on the list of the top six ways to save money this winter, just do intermittent fasting, which is basically just starving yourself for the majority of the day. I like food too much. Yeah. Intermittent fasting. But then I get so hungry I'll still eat like a $40 meal afterwards.

Right, but it's only one $40 meal. Not two. Yeah, three. He's got you there. And number one on the list of the top six ways to save money this winter, send your children

to their grandparents. Yeah, goodbye. Use their power. They're very expensive. Children are very expensive. Send them to the grandparents. The grandparents are like, hooray, hooray,

the children are here. The children are here. And you're just like, absolutely rolling in it. Don't have them in the first place and then you're even more rolling in it.

But if you've already got them. That's a bit rolling in it. But if you've already got them... That's a bit of me. Yeah, if you've already got them, you can't eat them. No. Yeah, but that's on you. You made that decision. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely. That is today's top secret. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Well, a new study has found that

nearly half of British people, when they go on holiday, take tea bags with them. Isn't that the most British thing you've ever heard? Can they go on holiday, take tea bags with them. Isn't that the most British thing you've ever heard? Can't go without me cup of tea. Tea drinkers are cooked. I'll say it. Tea drinkers are weird.

Coffee drinkers aren't going to take an instant sachet with them, are they? Not when they can get a delicious cup of barista-made coffee on the go. Most places in the world. Thank you. Yeah, great things are brewing one cup at a time. Seamless. Seamless mention of cup at a time. Seamless. Seamless. Seamless mention of the show's sponsor.

Seamless client integration detected. I'm getting better at radio. You're getting real good. You're getting good, kiddo. So if that wasn't British, this is definitely British. 36% of Brits, when they go on holiday, take their slippers with them. Oh, my God. Slippers and a cuppa?

Slippers and a cuppa. Where are they going on holiday take their slippers with them. Oh, my God. Slippers and a cuppa? Slippers and a cuppa. Where are they going on holiday? So I said maybe coffee drinkers don't do this, but 35% of Brits take coffee. So it's nearly half take tea bags and 35 take coffee. They're brand of instant. Yeah. I suppose if you've got your brand, you've got your brand.

Okay, a quarter of Brits, and this is me, regularly take their own pillow. I can't believe you do this. It's such a waste of space. So it's not space. Where are we going though? Because if we're going in the car, I can definitely fit the body pillow in.

The body pillow? No, I don't take the body pillow. Yeah, man, if you're going, yeah, yeah, if it's in the car, I take the body pillow. If we're driving to work, we're going, I don't take the body pillow. That's like a fifth member of your family. They're long.

And the most loved. Yeah. So I always, when I went away in January for three weeks, I took my... Oh, okay. Well, it must be nice. Wow. Where'd you go?

Wow, I've been out of here for three weeks. I took my memory foam pillow, and I got one of those compact sack things that you'd have camping. And it goes tiny, but it's just heavy. Yeah, exactly. So if you've got the luggage weight, chuck it in. I'd rather go for shopping.

It was amazing. No, it was perfect. It was the best thing. But yeah, 35% of people, sorry, 25% of Brits regularly take their own pillow. One in 10 take their favourite coffee or tea cup. Cup? Yes! They take a mug. It could get broken! I know! Your favourite cup

must stay at home! Maybe you put a you wrap your pillow around it. They're very serious about tea. I know! And especially Britain being the home of the budget airlines. Like if you're going to Spain or whatever on a holiday, you're taking a Ryanair or an EasyJet, right?

Zero luggage. Of course. Like, you get zero luggage. Yeah. So imagine how much they're paying in extra weight just to take these, like, home niceties. To have a cup of tea. Yeah.

And that's what I wanted to ask this morning. Is there anybody listening that when they go on holiday, has to take something? Something. Like, do you have to take your own pillow? When I travel overseas, this is weird, I guess, but I always have to take my passport. Like, I won't travel overseas without it.

Call me a freak, say what you will. I know, I know. I don't want to leave the house without it. Okay, let me rephrase that. What interesting item or home... How would you... I've got one. Last year I broke a tradition.

I always travel with my wife, and then last year I didn't. And boy, I tell you what, that didn't go down well. I won't be doing it again. So you always take your wife when you travel. I tend to take my wife travelling, yes. Right. Well, I sleep with a teddy bear, and I have since I was three years old. Yeah, which is weird.

And shout out to Kweli. He's asleep in the next room. Do you take Kweli when you go, like, if you were going away for, like, two weeks overseas? Yeah. Would you? No, I used to. But now that he's so old, he's too precious. And I feel like I'd feel too distraught if my baggage got lost or something.

Yeah. But wouldn't you be worried you'd leave Kw leave Kweli in like a Gold Coast hotel room? Exactly. I did once when I was a kid and they found it and they sent him back home and I was beside myself and so we don't do it anymore. But I don't really take anything unusual. The only thing I

always make sure I pack is a multi-plug so that you can always plug it into your one adapter but have like multiple things. Yes, that is a great travel hack. Yeah, it is. One travel adapter with a multi-box. Well, we want to know this morning, 0800DARLSATM,

you can text as well, 9696. What are you always, what's the one thing you have to take on holiday with you? Yeah. That thing that maybe a lot of people just leave at home, but you're like, well, it just makes my holiday so much better. I can't survive without my favourite chair, my lazy boy, and I ship it around the country.

Every time you go away. Well, nearly half of British people, when they go on holiday, take their tea bags. 35% take their coffee and slippers. Some people take their tea cups. Yeah. Their favourite tea cups. Yeah, one in ten will take their favourite coffee mug. Some people take their tea cups. Yeah. Their favourite tea cups. Yeah, one in ten will take their favourite coffee mug or their tea cup.

And even people pack their own pillows and slippers. Yes. I'm a big fan of taking the pillow on holiday. Just because how many times do you have a bad sleep because it's too small or too big? Or you'd have to do two pillows on top of each other and that's too big. Yeah. I remember when I went to Edinburgh in 2013, I was there for close to two months and I took

I think like ten bottles of moisturiser because I had really bad eczema at the time and there was like one moisturiser that was like sorting it. So I had like a suitcase full of moisturiser. How much of that did you go through? All of it. Like most of it.

I was very dry 10 years ago. She's a dry girl. Kelly, what do you take away on holiday when you go away? Always my pillow and my blender. Your blender? What, for smoothies? Yeah. Got to have your smoothies for the nutrition.

Is it like easy to pack away? Is it like a small, one of the small Nutribullets or something? Internationally, Nutribullet. Nationally, Vitamix. Oh my God, you pack your Vitamix? It's like a big blender. Yeah, we can just put it in the car or something. So when you're on holiday and you've got to gather all these things to make a smoothie.

Yeah, you've got to take your powders with you. You're on holiday, for God's sake. Live, live. You're allowed an Eggs Benny on holiday. Have an Eggs Benny instead. Listen, you know, you've got to fuel yourself. You've got to fuel the gains. Do that thing I do every day when you're on holiday

and there's a breakfast buffet. You're like, tomorrow I'm not just going to eat eggs and bacon. And then the next day you're like, I don't know what I am. I'm actually in the mood for eggs and bacon. But do you compact your pillow when you take that away as well? Yep. Yes, that's good. That's good, isn't it?

You put that in the lay down part. The lay down part with all the, you know, that you zip in so it's flat. Oh, right. Okay. I feel like you're a nightmare to travel with. I'm the best. I'm going to say it. What smoothies and a great pillow.

That sounds like the absolute dream, Kelly. Thank you. Toby, what do you take away on holiday? Well, it's not me, but my mother-in-law constantly is taking Balcania bold tea bags with her everywhere she goes. Right. To the extent of her friend's house. Loves a Bal tea.

Well, everywhere she goes, she's just got a tea bag. Oh, Bal Kenya Bold. I've never seen that one before. That's not Christine's tea of choice. No, it's nice and strong. Yeah. She's always got a snap lock baggie with her, even when it's hot weather. She could be in the Gold Coast, for strong. Yeah. She's always got a snap-lock baggie with her, even when it's hot weather.

She could be in the Gold Coast, for example. Yeah. Just say, God, it's hot. I'm dying for a cuppa. And then she'll have the cuppa, and then she'll complain about how she's having a hot flush and how hot she is. Yeah.

It's a cup of tea. Because it's a tea. Yes. She needs to go to an iced tea. A lot of old birds. My mum will have a coffee before bed and then get up two hours later and be like, well, I can't bloody sleep. Exactly. I had a coffee mum. That's how they were. A lot of old birds. My mum will have a coffee before bed and then get up two hours later and be like, well, I can't bloody sleep.

You just had a coffee, mum. That's how they were. She moans all night. Every morning she moans about how she hasn't had any sleep all night. They love moaning out. They love a moan.

Love a moan. Toby, thank you for your call. Lisa, what do you always take away on holiday? Yeah, I'm also one of the Brits that take tea bags. But it has to be,. So it has to be a certain kind.

And just recently I was in Monte Carlo and I met my sister who's Scottish and she had brought Tetley tea bags over to Monte Carlo with her and then I was able to benefit for the leftovers that she didn't use and I brought them back to New Zealand.

Are you allowed to bring them back to New Zealand? Like, you just have to declare them? Well, they were wrapped in, like, cling film, and they actually, like, did look a bit soft, but they genuinely were tea bags. So I just try and get them in as much as I can. You just sneak them in. Do they not have tea in Monte Carlo?

Well, they do, but it's the Tetley tea that I really like from Britain. Right. Tetley. Yeah. Okay, Tetley tea. There we go. Yeah, right.

Okay. Can you get them in New Zealand? Well, yes, you can, but being Scottish, I like a bargain. It's easier to just kind of get them sent from friends rather than buy them in Canada. I was going to say, economically, it doesn't make much sense to fly all the way to Monte Carlo to bring back six. It feels like there might be a better budget

budget conscious way to get it done. Yeah, Lisa, thanks for your call. Mitchell, what do you take away with you when you go on holiday? I take a fan, a big fan, every time I go away nationally. Like one of those standing fans that you put in the corner of the room. I'm not sure if it's the air or if it's the noise,

but I have to take it away. And to the detriment, last week, I'm in Christchurch, but the last time we went down to Queensland, I took the kids' bags out to fit the fan in. They're kids. They don't need me. They don't need things, do they? Wow. So have you gone on an international holiday with the fan? If I'm booking an international trip or if I go internationally,

I'll email the hotel first to check they've got a fan before I book. Amazing. If you're there for a couple of weeks, you might be able to get a cheap fan at a nearby store. Yeah, like at a Kmart or something. Yeah, just leave it there to finish things. I did go on a golf trip with the lads and I actually didn't take the fan,

but I downloaded a fan app so I could literally hear it all night long. So then that tells me it might just be the sound. Yeah, you need a white noise machine. I had a few jars that night so it could have been anything. Yeah.

In a lot of countries you could probably pay some money to just walk into your room and blow on you, you know, for the... In fact, yeah. That would be nice, actually. You probably could.

You can answer different things. Yeah, I think you are. Mitchell, thank you. Some messages in, so many. My sister takes her 30-year-old teddy on every holiday she goes on. Kweli's 30. I wonder if they're friends in the toy world. No, that's like saying you're from New Zealand, you must know Steve.

Just because they're both toys in their 30s, it doesn't mean they know each other. But we should actually try to set them up. Yeah, we should. Should we try to set them up? Yeah, totally. Yeah, that'd be good, I think. Just because, you know, they're both probably. You don't want to be on a first date and your eye falls out.

No, he's sturdier than that. Yeah. Okay. Don't bad mouth him, he can hear you He's a little bit like, his stuffing's gone down She's like, are you okay? You look sick You look absolutely gaunt Somebody said, oh my god

What? I pack my PlayStation 5 on every holiday No That is grounds for divorce You can't go to another country or go on holiday and spend all day on PlayStation. Get out and...

The weather's not good, though. Someone's doing a rainy day. Someone's doing a rainy day. When my sister travels domestically, she always takes her air fryer. Oh, my God. I mean, it's a convenient little oven for cooking in a... No, oh my God, are you serious?

If you don't want to eat out every night, are you chucking some nuggies in with the kids and you do that on the cheap and then you go out and you have yourself a nice meal? You know? Oh my God, they're so big though. They're the worst appliance. They're so huge.

They are biggie. I always take my espresso machine. No one makes better coffee than me. All right. Well, I'd beg to differ. Calm down, George Clooney. Show our sponsor, McCafe, great things are brewing one cup at a time.

And as we've said, they're everywhere. Everywhere, exactly. Seamless client mention detected. I'm going to do that, by the way, every time now. Confirmed. If I travel nationally, I take a pocket knife with me. Oh, you did that, didn't you? I did. I always carried a knife with me Oh You did that didn't you I did

I always carried a knife And then I lost it And it was an anniversary gift From my wife And I'm still Every time I mention a knife I'm in big trouble You are yeah

I'm in big trouble for that I always take my pillow And my special blanket With tassels Thank you for mentioning It had tassels We've painted a picture I simply must Every time I go on holiday,

take a ridiculous volume of socks and undies in case I shit myself for the first time in 15 years and it somehow gets in my socks. I always overpack. Such an overpacker. You just take every under you own every time you go on holiday. Yeah, then you don't have to do washing.

Yeah. Better safe than sorry. You know? From someone who shat themselves. From someone who shat themselves. Every now and then. We're joined in studio by Madeline Sami. Hello. National treasure?

Don't you dare put a question mark on the internet. She's the national treasure of my heart. I'm sad I'm not in studio, Mads. Hi babes. Miss you. Hi babes. I'm just I can't be my heart I'm sad I'm not in the studio, Mads Hi babes, miss you I can't be there because I'm hosting a small baking show you probably wouldn't have heard of Never heard of it

No, sounds good mate, I'm really stoked for you I love baking Try again, just try again That was a little off Sounds great mate, I am stoked for you We've gone downhill in the last couple of seasons, though. Yeah, I would... Yeah, how are those ratings?

No, I'm just kidding. Let's not go there. Let's not go there. Well, she's busy anyway. She doesn't need baking. She's been in Tasmania filming some bloody crime comedy. Excuse me, there's nothing funny about crime. I just like...

You're an electioneer. Everything that Vaughan is saying is ending in a question. Question. Now, Deadlock drops exclusively on Prime Video around the world and then weekly on the 2nd of June. So when's it? 240 countries. Wow.

So a week tomorrow. There's not that many countries. How many lounges are there in that many? I've got to stop you. There's not 240 countries. Wait, 240. Wait, I'm just looking. Territories.

Territories. Sorry, territories. Territories. Territories, sorry. Territories, territories. Countries? Shut up. Which countries have big territories? 240 countries. I don't know geography. This TV show is going to be so influential,

countries are going to split in half. Guys, it's a big universe out there. Yeah. How rude of you to assume there aren't more countries in the universe. Please. So tell us about the show. It filmed in, is that a beautiful part of Australia? Tasmania.

Tasmania. It looks amazing. Yeah, it's kind of like New Zealand. It's kind of like it feels like it sort of grew off the side of New Zealand and then just drifted over a little bit. Right. They have a lot of good cheese. They have a lot of good wine.

Their oysters are divine. They have a wonderful museum. I've heard oysters are divine. They have a wonderful museum. I've heard about this museum. Yeah, it's great. You catch a ferry over, they put a lot of alcohol in you, and then you walk around looking, and they've got a vagina wall. It's good. I remember you were messaging me on the day that you were at this museum.

Absolutely toast. Yeah, that sounds like me. Yeah. It was fun. You know what? Because I can see on the cameras here that you were wearing Zambezi, very fashionable lady, Madeline Sami, but all the promo of your character from Deadlock,

such questionable fashion. There's a lot of fleece. Yeah. A lot of patterns. Yeah. Fleece. Yeah. She doesn't really care about, she doesn't have any sartorial swag.

Let's just say that. I think she comes to Deadlock with one outfit and she boils her undies in the kettle. No. No, she's not local. She's from Darwin. Her name's Eddie Redcliffe. She comes from Darwin. She's like a rough and rugged cop.

Yeah. and she's like a rough and rugged cop who's come. She's had all of her soft edges roughened by life and her job and she wants to come and she wants to sort this murder out. Right. There's a murder. Oh, there's a murder, yeah. It's a crime show. Do you guys read any of the... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I said crime comedy, you'll remember, and I said there's something funny about crime, Madeline Sarmie. Well, you would think there wouldn't be something funny about crime, but you wait till you see

this show, Deadlock, in 240 countries in the universe. Universally broadcast. Universally broadcast. For all to enjoy. So Deadlock is the brainchild of the two Kates,

who are very, very, very funny women. Kate Shepard and Kate Bush. Yes. Joy. So Deadlock is the brainchild of the two Kates. The two Kates. Who are very, very, very funny women. Kate Shepard and Kate Bush. Yes. Kate Bush and Kate Shepard. Yeah, so the whole show is in falsetto. And prose. Yeah, yeah.

But no, very funny women and very funny women in the cast. Yes. Very funny women. Heavy. It's very woman heavy. The Kates wanted to kind of upend the genre a little bit and, you know, really put woman at the centre of a crime sort of story. And so we have this really awesome ensemble cast. And, yeah, the Kates are so funny.

I don't know if you guys are familiar with their stuff, but they made a couple of shows called, you know, Get Crackin' and The Catering Show. And their sense of humour is very in line with Kiwi's sense of humour, actually, I think. Quite dry, quite crass. My character says the C word a lot. Oh, my gosh.

Could potentially be a world record. That will be a problem in some of those 240 countries. Well, you know, they'll just have to get on board. They'll get used to it. You know what I mean? They'll have to get on board. They'll get used to it. You know what I mean? They'll have to get on board like we're on board. Yeah. Yeah.

No, it's a great show. It was a lot of fun to shoot. It's like one of my favourite characters I've ever got to play. Just absolute, absolute nut job of a character and lots of fun. How's your Australian accent? Yeah, like, see you. I was going to say, did you have to put it on or were you a Kiwi who moved to Darwin who went down to? No, I had to put on quite a thick Australian,

a fuck Australian accent. Yeah. Which I have absolutely enjoyed. No, it was, yeah, it was intimidating. I mean, I auditioned for both parts in this. I was actually a writer on the show and then I got asked to audition for it, which I thought was a gag.

I messaged the Cates and I was like, are you guys taking the piss? And they're like, no, we think you can do good acting. And I was like, okay, it, which I thought was a gag. I messaged the Cates and I was like, are you guys taking the piss? And they're like, no, we think you can do good acting. And I was like, okay, well, I'll give it a go. And I'll give it a rad hot. That's what they say in Australia. Yeah, but. I'll give it a rad hot.

Yeah, but. Hey, yeah. And then I really put a lot of effort into Kate Box's character that she eventually got. I put a lot of effort into that. I didn't put any effort into the character that I got. I was reading the lines off of the page in the audition. It was just

after Bake Off, Hayley. I know, I remember. And possibly I was hungover and it was the perfect energy for the character and I nailed it. So there you go. So this is going back a couple of years then? Yes, so we started writing in 2021 but the Cates had been developing it for a lot

longer before that. And then I think I auditioned at the end of 2021 and then we shot beginning of last year for five and a half months in Tassie. Wow. Yeah. Wild. And then in between this somehow, you've also filmed another show, Double Parked, which is a Kiwi show created by none other than Christopher Robert Parker.

Yeah, Christopher. And this was the show that you auditioned to be on, Hayley, where you would have been Madeline's lover. Yeah. I said to the boys I was really practising my strong lesbian energy. It failed. They thought I'd nailed it. Yeah, no, yeah, we shot that a couple of months ago in Auckland

through a one-in-100 100 year flood and a cyclone. It was a very challenging time to be, the whole thing feels like a weird fever dream, like literally driving up to set one day and it's like the whole thing's flooded. It's like, we're going to need to stand down for three hours and wait for the location to subside, yeah, to drain. Which one of the one in 100 year floods was it?

Because there's been three in six months. We got two of them on that shoot. Two of them on one shoot. Yeah, that was fun. I was directing and acting, which is insane, and I probably won't ever do again, but it was a lot of fun. It's a sweet little show.

So you and Tony Pribble plays my character? Yeah, well, she has a name. Yeah, plays my character. Yes. She'll only be referred to as she from here on out. She. Yeah. She plays my character. And she, yes. She'll only be referred to as she from here on out. She. Yeah. She plays my character.

Can you stop hissing? She's asked if you can stop hissing at her at the supermarket. I just thought we would have more respect for each other. And it's weird because it's not even Hayley's supermarket. She travels to hiss. She goes. She travels to hiss. Her supermarket is so far away from me.

You've actually been asked to stop going to that supermarket too. It must be like a week today. Deadlock is out on 254 million planets. Yeah. It's out on 867 billion planets. Wow. It's been translated

into 1650 trillion gazillion languages. I'll still watch it with subtitles on though, I think. Yeah, I like to do that. Yeah, well, I'd like someone to count how many times I say the C word.

I do think it could be a world record. Will it be more than Carlo Barnes' character in The Boys? I don't know. I don't watch that show. Just kidding. Just kidding. It's another great show on Amazon. Exactly, yeah.

Watch The Boys, guys. Well, he drops the C word a lot, so I think the Amazon audience will be... Watch The Boys and then come over and watch The Girls of Deadlock. Yeah. Madeline and Sammy, thank you so much for joining us. Thanks, guys. Play. ZM's Sammy, thank you so much for joining us. Thanks, guys. There is a dating coach in the UK. His name is Coach Jacob Lucas.

He's got two first names that can't be trusted. Yeah. He shares on TikTok. He's got lots and lots of followers, close to a million. And he shares all sorts of dating tips and love tips and relationship tips. And he has shared the five signs that you are a super attractive person. When I saw this, I thought, we better go through the list. You check off and see if this is us?

Is that what you mean? Yeah, because I've always had a feeling. I've always had a feeling I was super attractive, but it's good to just cross-reference. Wait, he's serious in this is us. Is that what you mean? Yeah, because I've always had a feeling. I've always had a feeling I was super attractive, but it's good to just cross-reference. Wait, he's serious in this. Yep. Okay. Yep.

Maybe you don't know. Maybe you just can't see it. Maybe this is why you're single. You're too hot. Maybe like me, you're like really humble about it. Yeah. You're reminded every now and then. Yeah, okay.

Okay, you see, the first sign is that people get very territorial around their boyfriends or girlfriends when you are there oh okay you know so like if you turn up to a party and you're talking maybe to a guy his girlfriend might come up and like you know just put her arm around him to be like he mine even though you the incredibly attractive person wasn't trying to do anything. We weren't trying to pick him up. It's just that your attractiveness is a threat. You've got passive sexual magnetism.

You weren't even trying to do anything. It's passive, baby. It's just happening. This is why a lot of people won't let their partners talk to you, Hayley. All the time. So maybe he's right. Maybe this is a sign you're incredibly attractive. Stay away from that Hayley chick. She's bad news, but they mean she's really super attractive.

Okay. I've got one then. Compliment. That's one. The second one is that you would rarely get compliments because people just assume that you already know how attractive you are. You know me, I have to fish.

I fish for compliments. This would explain why I don't get any compliments maybe no yeah I think so like not a single one is it people just assume

you've already been told a thousand times yeah exactly yeah that's right I'm the same that's why I constantly ask for them because I'm like

am I attractive like I need you to tell me specifically five things about my face that make it attractive. Yeah. We could pause to do that, but I know we're short on time. Yeah, we've run out of time for that.

We've really got to wrap this up. Could you think of five? Two for two. Two for two. Could you come up with five if you had to? If we had time, hypothetically? How long have we got? Not long.

Do I have, like, a working committee? You've got a couple of days. Yeah, okay. You need a couple of days. A couple of days. Good brows. Yeah. Good brows.

The nose is where it should be. That's undeniable. It's above the mouth, isn't it? It's above the mouth. You've done two. You've done two. Why stop there? Good forehead ratio.

A lot of forehead. No, no, no. Good amount of forehead ratio. It's not too big and it's not too small. Yeah, that's what I mean. No, no, it's perfect The teeth are nice The teeth are white and clean and straight

We've only got one more Lips The lips are there These lines Yeah, what are those lines? Cheek lines Good cheeks Wrinkles

No, no, it's where your cheeks It's where it starts at the side of your nose And it goes down around your mouth It's where Homer Simpson's beard is Cheek gutters. Face gutters. Face gutters, yeah. Nice face gutters.

Done. Good face gutters. Done. Holy moly. Wow. We'll take those to the select committee. Heck, it turns out we did have time to give you five compliments about your face. Who would have thought?

Okay, his third point, where am I? Third point, you very rarely get approached by people, which is because they just think that you're out of their league. You're so hot that people won't even bother trying because they're like, I couldn't get her or him or them. Right. Maybe it is hard for hot people, guys. No.

Carry on. Next. No, I've got a partner, so that doesn't count. Yeah, they just see him and that's why they don't approach you. He's scary. Of course. Yeah, of course. The fourth sign that's why they don't approach you? He's scary. Yeah, of course. The fourth sign that you're a super-duper attractive person

is that you always catch strangers staring at you in public. Now, all the time. Or you might have something on your face. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and feel going, pointing at their teeth like, I think you might have a little... Or you might not be really attractive, but you're trying to work out what's happening. Like sometimes, you know, you look at someone and you're like, you might have a little... Yeah. Or you might not be really attractive, but you're trying to work out what's happening.

Like sometimes, you know, you look at someone and you're like, what's going on there? Yeah. And then they catch you looking and you're like, oop, and you look away real quick. Yeah. Actually, we did this... I won't say that.

We did this recently where we looked at a person and we're like, what's happening there? Are they attractive? And we had to work it out. I like it when you see someone you can't work out if they're attractive or not. Same. Okay, and the fifth sign that you're really super

duper attractive is that people always get very awkward and nervous around you. Now, but I'm also, it's hard though, because I'm super attractive, but I'm also incredibly warm and inviting. Yeah, very inviting. Okay. Hard to be nervous around you. I think that balance out, because people don't

get that nervous around me. So, yeah, do you think that you are a super-duper attractive person then? I think I am in this category. Yeah, okay, wow. And also just based on the face I see every day. Yeah, well, we did just give you five incredible compliments about it. Incredible. My favourite one was definitely that the nose is where it should be.

Thank you. Well, it's exactly where it should be. I can't imagine a better place for the nose. Yeah, a lot of people, it's just a bit to the side, isn't it? To the side. Yeah, well, thank you very much. Yours is perfectly there. Right in the middle.

Right in the middle. It's time for the impossible phone-in topic, a topic we think is impossible. Yes. It's going to be hard to get calls. I want to go super weird on this one here because I want to know about obscure champions, whether or not you are the champion of something so bizarre

that it's hard to bring up in conversation. Well, maybe it's not bizarre to you, but when you bring it up, people are like, what now? There's a competition for that. What now? There's an international marching competition. I was like, cue the marching jokes. Cue the marching jokes.

Not that obscure. National sport. To be fair, until I saw that video of you marching backwards and crossing over that was in the Jason Momoa video, I was like, wow, I didn't know it was like that. Well, I have said quite a lot that it's impressive, but it's going to be in there now. Well, Vaughan and I did want to go, but you uninvited us.

Because you'd be silly about it. Now, the third annual Foulmouth, which is a place in the UK. Foulmouth? Foulmouth. F-A-L mouth. Oh, right. I think you're saying Foulmouth. Foulmouth. Foulmouth. Yeah, Foulmouth. It's the

third annual Worm Charming Championships. So, of course, we know snake charming. Yeah. In a basket. And the snake comes out. That's snake charming.

Very similar, except no snakes, worms. Now, worms apparently come to the surface when they feel vibrations. Yeah, tapping. Tap, tap, tap. Replicating raindrops. I was going to say, because where are the ears on a worm? But it's vibrations. In the kawaka.

In the worm. It's a one-stop shop for the ear, for the worm. Yeah. Yeah. So there were a hundred. They did it in teams, and they used lots of things. They had a mixture of praying to the worm gods. Some people wrote letters, love letters to the worms. Some people played the didgeridoo.

Other people were blowing brass instruments into the holes and trying to get them out. Some people wrote letters, love letters to the worms. Some people played the didgeridoo. Other people were blowing brass instruments into the holes and trying to get them out. Until the winning team charmed 20 worms in half an hour. And they did that by a combination of things, so music and stamping and whatnot. So it was how many worms you could get out. It's how many worms come to the surface of your bit of dirt. Exactly.

And you win the worm charm. Yeah, the dirt's gridded off, and your team is allowed to use any means other than digging or, yeah, basically you can't, like, dig them up. Or saturate it. Or wet. Because if you, like, saturated it. No, that would be cheating.

Yeah, that would be cheating. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that would be cheating. By the way,'m saying. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that would be cheating. By the way, someone has messaged in, and I have confirmed it, the worm does not have a cloaca. It has an anus.

Oh, does it? A worm anus. Does it also have genitals then? The worm has an anus. But where are the ears? Are they in the anus? There is no ears. It has nerves against its skin that sense vibrations.

Right. That's why they can feel the pitter-patter, pitter-patter of rain, but they can't hear you saying, Wormy, hear wormy wormy wormy unless you're streaming it into the earth. But there is a championship for this. So this team will now be the champion worm

charmers of the 2023 foul mouth worm charming championship. Now I know there are lots of weird champions out there and this is what I want to hear is like if you are the champion if you've won something before that people are like I didn't even know there are lots of weird champions out there. And this is what I want to hear is like, if you are the champion, if you've won something before that people are like, I didn't even know there was a competition for that.

Now is your place to get the praise and glory you deserve. Yes, we want to hear if you are an obscure champion this morning. I believe producer Jared is an obscure champion. I believe he is the Upper North Island Checkout Chick of the Year 2014 representing Pack and Save. No, not quite. Not quite. up on North Island checkout chick of the year 2014 representing Pack and Save no not quite not quite

but they do do they do do that we've talked about that they've got a championship for checkouting yeah I did it I didn't win

I wasn't very good at it but I played the game you know suck bro but I am an obscure champion in 2007 my robotics football team won.

What? Your what? Robotics football. What's robotics football? So you have a team of lads. It's usually lads. Are ladies allowed? Yeah, ladies are actively encouraged.

We just didn't have any. Do you ladies want to hang out with us? We're building a robot. Do you guys like soccer and robotics? We're about to combine the two. So, yeah, we built a robot which would verse another robot in football. And then ours just absolutely cleaned up. Oh, like robot fights, except they're not destroying each other

because I'm imagining how expensive to build. They play football. And you did this at school? Yep, I was the architect architect so I designed the actual robot whereas some of the other guys did the techie coding and stuff. How did your robot, it didn't have legs, was it just on wheels with a

holder for the ball at the front? Yeah, we had like bulldozer tracks for the wheels and then I made this little funnel thing so the ball would always hit the kicker, bang on and we had the most powerful strike of the tournament. And now you work in radio. Yeah, dog. Translatable skills.

Wow. So there you go. There's an example. That's an obscure champion. A robot. That's cool. Football. Robot soccer champ.

Soccer award there. Great. Well, if you've got something stranger or weirder or on par with worm charming or robot soccer, we want to hear if you've got something stranger or weirder or on par with Worm Charming or Robot Soccer, we want to hear if you're an obscure champion. Maybe it's an industry awards or competition that only your industry does that people don't know about. It's the impossible phone and topic. Are you an obscure champion of something? Maybe it's an industry award

Maybe it is the Worm Charming Championships Yes, which happen in England You seem to laugh every time I mention them But they've been taken very seriously Hundreds of participants It sounds like one of the games you'd play at a resort in Fiji, like crab racing.

Yeah. I also just want to reiterate that their number one motto is charm don't harm. So no worms are harmed. They get put back into the earth. Worms are very, very important. They are, yeah. Don't you have a worm farm?

I do have a worm farm. You could do this at home. You could play this game at home. I could. It's cheating, though, because they're already in the farm. Oh, yeah, true. I could. It's cheating, though, because they're already in the farm. Oh, yeah, true. I've already caught them.

Yeah, but aren't they already in the arena? Wouldn't they put the worms under the earth and then make you charm them? No, no, no. They just take you to a random field. Oh, no, but what if there are no worms where you are? That's what I'm saying. It's like fishing. You can't catch something that's not there.

Okay. Well, we want to know from you if you're an obscure champion. Let's go to Susie. Susie, this is your sister that is an obscure champion. What did she win? She won a golden snail for her snail race at school, at primary school. Right.

She won a golden snail? Yeah, it was like clay and they spray painted it gold. This is not even real gold. I thought they gold painted an actual snail. I thought they dipped a snail in gold paint. I'll pour salt on one and watch it foam to death, but I don't think dipping in hot gold is fair. No!

Dipping in hot gold is fair. Wait, so this was at primary school, so she's still dining out on the fact that she won the golden snail race. Yeah, we were all very jealous, yeah. Yeah, I bet, yeah. I bet she's one of those people that puts it on their CV even though they're in their 30s now. You're like LinkedIn.

Golden snail winner. I'd hire someone if they put that sort of stuff on their CV. Susie, thanks for your call. Stacey, you're an obscure champion in something? Yes. Making a long sandwich. Oh, okay.

Oh, at a place that does long sandwiches. Yes. I wouldn't know about that because the show sponsored a short round sandwiches called burgers. Yes, yes they do. Yeah, I wouldn't know what you're talking about there.

I'm not up to date with long sandwiches and they also do coffees at McCafe. Great things they're doing one cup at a time. They do. Thank you, Vaughan. Seamless client mention detected. How far did you go in the competition, Stacey?

I went all the way over to Australia and became number six in Australasia. Oh, wow. Wow. Not first, though, is it? It's not first. You know what? Not really.

I bet she's packing it right to the end. She's not giving one person five inches and the other. No, she can pop one right in half. Or just overfilling it and slamming it shut and just wrapping it and just being like, well, that's your problem now. Yeah. What was a person in Australia that won like? Were you just like sensing the competition there?

There was like 0.23 of a second between first and second. Like it was really close between the top 15. No, no, no, no, no. Take your time. Take your time. Make it a good sandwich. I don't need it in a hurry. I just want it done well.

Amazing. Stacey, thank you. Obscure champion. Obscure champion. In long sandwiches at some unknown place. Vaughan, some messages in. I was the marble champion at school. I won the most marbles in the whole school.

Wow, that's cool. To this day, best achievement of my life. My granddad had a Guinness World Record for growing the tallest Brussels sprout plant. How tall do they grow? I don't know. And I don't know if his record still stands. I know they grow like a store.

Right. Grow up. See, I always imagined as a kid Brussels sprouts grew as a bunch. Yeah. But then they grow off the fence. That would make you an idiot, Vaughn. I'm a damn fool. I helped, well, did all the work for my kids to win guinea pig dress-up competitions multiple times.

I didn't question what my life would become when I'd find myself making guinea pig dress-up competitions multiple times. I didn't question what my life would become when I'd find myself making guinea pig dress-up costumes late on a Friday night. They're a delicacy in Peru, aren't they? When people are like, Hayley, have kids, it's such a pleasure. No, that is not my life. That is not my future.

Making guinea pig dress-ups. That is not where I am. I was on holiday in the Chatham Islands And my cousin Ended an obstacle course Thinking it was A normal obstacle course But she had to carry

A dead pig around The obstacle course And hang it up By some ropes And then she went I only went And bloody won the thing What's going on

Is that Top Town Chatham Islands Is that what they do In the Chatham Islands For fun The weekends See who's going Pig hunting this weekend

It's the one that's best at it I got the second highest score On the Lilo and Stitch game on the Disney Channel website as a kid. Second highest. Obscure champion. That's obscure reserve champion there. Me and a couple of my mates, all girls, were 10 years old.

We won the National Robotics Dance Competition. So rather than making robots play football, they danced. And we danced with them. Cool. Add some AI in there and watch out world. Yeah, I'm the 1998 margarine carving champion. That's good, though. You don't want to waste butter.

You don't want to waste butter on the carving. Yeah. Let's finish up with Olivia. Olivia, what were you an obscure champion in? I was the Auckland Girl Guides speech competition winner in about the year 2000. Oh, wow. And what was your speech on? Well, I adapted my year seven school speech

on how drugs are really uncool and adapted it so that I talked about how cool being a Girl Guide was. So your speech for the girl, I mean, you played right into their hands, really, didn't you? Yeah. Telling them how cool Girl Guides was and how bad drugs were. Do you remember any of the speech? Well, I remember the opening. Lay it on us.

Let's see how good it was. Go on. It was like, hey, you, got your Girl Guide uniform on? Yes. Or you, have you been to the Girl Guide shop lately? Yep. Maybe you think Girl Guide is uncool, but I think Guide's is the best. Whoa.

They lapped it up. I tell you what You've won me over I was going to do drugs This weekend Same But now I'm going to Dress up like a girl guide

And go out in public And try to sell some biscuits Yep Olivia thanks you Cool Play ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley Fact of the day

Day Day Day Day Yeah Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about Sesame Street and the lie we have been sold. Don't say a bad word. What are you going to destroy our childhoods?

Well, David Bornyak's book, Sesame Street Unpaved, which when you think about it, it's quite a clever book for a behind the scenes of Sesame Street. Sesame Street Unpaved wrote a bit of an expose about, well, just about how Sesame Street works behind the scenes. And today's fact of the day is that all of those big, delicious, crumbly looking chocolate chip cookies that the cookie monster was eating were not cookies at all. What? You bust.

They were. What were they? Painted rice cakes. Gaines Bradley, you know, he's watching his bit bra. Yeah. Painted rice cakes. For the main reason that in the early days they tried it with cookies. Yeah.

They couldn't get the awesome crumble. Because when the cookie monster is just ham on those cookies. Yeah. Yum, yum, yum, yum. And it's, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. And it's just blowing to bits. You're like, yes! I get so excited every time I see him eat a cookie.

Because it blows to bits. Is the inside of the rice cake white? Or different than the... Or did they stain the rice cakes? It's painted through. Yeah, I guess it may be painted in the making. Because they're not just going to the supermarket and getting those big rice cakes.

They are making specific rice cakes. Because in the early days, they used actual cookies, and the oil in the cookies ruined the outfit. The outfit. Fur. What did you just say? His fur. His fur.

Sorry, his real fur. It stained. He's naked. He's a monster. Well, he doesn't need clothes because God What? His fur. His fur. Sorry, his real fur. It's stained. He's naked. He's a monster. Well, he doesn't need clothes because God gave him. God. Blue fur. Our Lord and Saviour gave him blue fur.

Yes. In all seriousness, what are they? Muppets. Yeah. They're monster puppets. That's what Muppet stands for. But one of them is like a bird. Yeah, he's a big bird.

Yeah. Have you got any other questions or are we just going to ask dumb ones? And a frog. Yeah. And a pig. Yeah. And then some are non- Snuffleupagus.

Snuffleupagus was a woolly mammoth. Yeah. A young one and his tusks hadn't fully come out. What's Oscar the Grouch? He's a grouch. Yeah. No, but that's the thing. It's like there's no consistency.

They're either all birds or animals or they're all monsters. What a Bert and Ernie. Why are you Bert and Ernie are Muppets? Now, they're together, though, eh? On the down low. On the down low. On the down low. Okay.

A quiet gay couple just trying to live their life. Yeah, they're not like, it's not the main aspect of their personality. You know, their personality is that, well, Ernie's kind and caring. It's like me and you. You're Bert and I'm Ernie. I'm a caring, loud man who embraces chaos and loves song and baths. Yep. And you're a pigeon loving grump with a monobrow.

Fantastic. Did you mention that? Did you bring that up? Wow. What a way to find out I've got a monobrow. Wait, Bert's got a monobrow. One of them's got a monobrow. Bert's got the monobrow. No, Ernie've got a monobrow. Wait, Bert's got a monobrow. One of them's got a monobrow. Bert's got the monobrow.

No, Ernie's got the monobrow. No, it's Bert. Bert's got the monobrow. Is it you or me? Ernie has no eyebrows. Right. Okay. Bert and Ernie.

And one's got horizontal stripes and one's got vertical stripes. I mean, if we're anyone from the Muppets where those two old guys are up the top of the theater. Walter and Statoff sit down there and... Bet you weren't about everybody. Yeah, absolutely. Can I also just say, go and watch the old Muppet shows on... Problematic? Dude.

They warn you, though, at the start of the episode. Oh, do they? And it says something like, rather than removing scenes that we have since learned, you know, exclude people and make people feel uncomfortable and leave them in

to show how far we've come. But there's confederate flags in one of those. Oh, I see, right,

okay. There's quite a lot happening in those old bars, but brilliant. Yeah. Brilliant. Oh,

so you're on board with the confederate flags. Huge fan. I bought one. I didn't, I didn't. I didn't. But, yeah. What was I talking about? The fact of the day today.

Today's fact of the day is Cookie Monster isn't smashing full-blown chocolate chip cookies when he eats cookies. He's actually eating painted rice cakes made to look like chocolate chip cookies. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Yeah. ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Fletchborn and Hayley. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly. That silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole.

Today's silly little pole comes off the back of a story where a woman has gone online and has said, Look, am I a bad person? My husband ditched me for a free upgrade in business class. Am I the bad person for being a little upset at this? And most people are like, nah, we'd do the same. Yeah, hon. I think if I had a partner and they were like, I've got an upgrade, I'd be like, go you.

It's amazing. Oh, I'd give them a bit of they were like, I've got to upgrade, I'd be like, go you. It's amazing. Oh, I'd give them a bit of ribbon. Oh, yeah. But I wouldn't actually be angry about it. Definitely not. Would you ditch your partner in economy for a free upgrade? 73% of people said yes. See, puppy.

The others that voted no, I think they've got partners that would be a real problem to deal with. They would do the sort of thing of like using some air points or something to upgrade, but not tell them they've done it. And then on the day, act like it was a surprise. Oh, yeah, that would actually be quite funny. 27% of people said no way. Some feedback. Josh said, don't have a partner, but I can't imagine loving anyone enough to be uncomfortable for however many hours.

Now, I know we mentioned this earlier, but you've done this to your wife because we were lucky enough. We did a whole week of shows in Dubai and Emirates, the national carrier, upgraded us. And that was insane. And she said, ask them if I can have an upgrade too.

I said, I'm not putting my upgrade in jeopardy. What if they're like, no, you've been greedy now. No upgrades. No soup. I mean, she was still on the fly. No soup come back in a year. She was still going, right? She was still going.

How very lucky she was. Yeah, she was very lucky to even just go, you know? Yes. Like, I didn't even think you were allowed to. You weren't allowed to go down even, were you? No, I messaged her on the interstate communications thing. Yeah. So how is it down there in economy?

I said to the hostess, excuse me, how do I contact poverty? Is there some poverty downstairs? They're on the second floor. How do I talk to them? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Benny says, if I ditch, how am I going to keep up my sleeping awkwardly photo collection? That's, I said, Benny on every flight is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know what you're laughing at. We'll discuss that next. Next on the show, we'll discuss that. Because we have received a very funny text in to the studio. And a few people have already said they're dealing with this. Okay. This thing online. Yeah.

If I ditch. So, obviously, Benny, when his partner falls asleep, takes photos of them sleeping ugly on a plane. See, everyone sleeps a little ugly on the plane. Yeah,

they do. Shah says, absolutely not, mainly because I have the fear of flying and I'd rather squeeze the life out of his hand and economy than cry alone in first class.

So what if they come along and they say to Shah, hey, would you like an upgrade? And she's like, no, thank you. I want to stay here.

And then they say to the partner, would you like an upgrade? He's like, yeah, I would, I'd love it. Squeeze the armrest, Shah. hey, would you like an upgrade? And she's like, no, thank you. I want to stay here. And then they say to the partner, would you like an upgrade? He's like, yeah, I would. I'd love it. Squeeze the arm rest, Shah. Yeah, squeeze the stranger, Shah. Dan said, it's a life goal for me, so I'll take a couple of days in the dog box to get that upgrade. Absolutely. It's pretty insane.

I will never pay for it. I will never pay for it. Yeah, it's insane. They have actual cutlery, don't they? Plates and stuff. Yeah, you can stab someone up there and sometimes you need to use a plastic yeah

and it's so hard to stab somebody you stab them in business and they say thank you sir Alexandros is yes

but I would be so salty if he did it to me yeah exactly good for the gander I did it when our baby was five months the cabin crew

offered a seat in business class and I jumped right over my hubby and kids to get that seat. But did you take the baby? Surely, imagine you pay for business class and someone, they give an upgrade to someone with a baby. You'd be like, what? I wouldn't, but I just asked my partner if he'd leave me

and he said he would. Well, Kat, that's life. Because you wouldn't doesn't mean he doesn't have to. Bianca, yes, I would, but I would go back and visit with the beverage. No, you won't. You're not allowed to. No taking the business class.

Beverage is out of business class. You're not allowed to. None at all. And Rachel said, I can't sleep on planes. I suffer restless leg syndrome and I totally ditched to get my feet up. But then we'd probably obviously switch with him halfway. Well, you can't do that.

Here's the other news, Rachel. You can't do him halfway. You can't do that either. You can't do that either. Because I think you asked if you could, right? I said if she wants to sleep, because it's a long flight, I said, can I go down and she comes up and they were like, no, sir. And I said, ah, well, I tried. I tried, yeah. I tried. Well, there you go.

I think it's an overwhelming majority of people would absolutely ditch their partner for that free upgrade. A couple of messages in because the news broke this morning that singer Tina Turner passed away overnight. Yeah, 83 years old, the amazing voice. And you can guarantee tomorrow's Friday flashback is going to be paying tribute to that beautiful woman from the Thunderdome, Tina Turner. I don't know what's love got to do with it or simply the best.

Have we done simply the best? Because I think we've done Proud Mary. We've got to do simply the best. So it's probably going to be simply the best. Simply the best, Jimmy Barnes, NRL grand final version. Yes, that was an NRL classic, Greg. An absolute classic song. Yeah, but there has been some confusion

and a lot of parents having to explain to kids this morning. I've seen this on Twitter. People are dealing with it. So this is more than it's just happened more than once. And we've had some messages in as well. Yeah, that their kids were very upset because they thought Tina from Turner's was dead. My kids just heard on the radio Tina Turner died and they were so shocked thought Tina from Turner's was dead. My kids just heard on the radio Tina Turner died

and they were so shocked that Tina from Turner's had died as she was so young. I think if Turner's have got their social media people on ball today, they'll get something online. I don't know if they'd risk it. Surely the backlash would outweigh the benefit. Or just Tina saying, guys, it's not me. It had never crossed my mind that Tina from Turner's is like Tina Turner. Yeah.

It had never crossed my mind. But that's obviously why, right? I don't know. I would like to know from the marketing or advertising people that came up with the Tina from Turner's, which I personally think is genius advertising. Yeah, but she doesn't work for Turner's. It rubs people up the wrong way, but everybody talks about it. Yeah, they do.

I would like to know if that was an intentional marketing ploy, Tina Turner, Tina from Turner's. Well, Tina Turner, the singer, unfortunately, R.I.P. R.I.P. Tina from Turner's. Alive and well. Alive and well, exactly. Next on the show, we talked about this a week or so ago.

There was a world record attempt that had to do with Kyles. The name Kyle. People Kyle. And a place called Kyle too. Well, an update on that next. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, we talked about this a week or two ago. A world record attempt by the city of Kyle to break the world record for the same,

the biggest gathering of people with the same name. The current record, Ivan's, the most Ivan's, this was broken in Bosnia or set in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where 2,325 people named Ivan gathered in July of 2017. And since then, nobody's been able to do it. The city of Kyle said, let's give this a try. Now, people, this is a city in Texas, central Texas. People came from like all over the world.

And all over America. Really? I would imagine the regions, Kyle's would have come forth, but not all of them. Now, this- Who's traveling internationally? They've fallen short though. So the world record, 2,325. They managed a total of 1,490, Kyle's.

Wow. That's a lot more. So, what, 800 short? Still a record to be proud of. Yeah, 835 short. We failed, Kyle's, but it is still a record to be proud of. If you thought of a name in New Zealand, could we get 2,300 of the same name? Hayley's, I reckon, would be.

Hayley's, John's. Yeah, John. Just all those plain names. Not Tim. Tim's a common name, but I don't think there's enough Tims. Well, it would be easy. You'd go to the census information, wouldn't you? Yeah, just go to the census and find the most common name.

Find the most common name in New Zealand. And then you'd have to find the most common in an area. Like, you'd want to do it. You'd go Auckland or Christchurch. It might also be a record that's never broken because there's so many more names now. Yeah. There's a diversification of names.

You know, people take pride in thinking of a name that's different to other names. Sometimes it's a mash of two names, a brand new name. Well, the Kyles weren't able to do it, so, yeah, the record still stands. Oh, I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast, I'll tell you. It's a podcast. You are allowed to listen to it while you're wheezing. There's no rules on when and where you're allowed to listen to a podcast. You are allowed to listen to it while you're wee.

There's no rules on when and where you're allowed to listen to a podcast. It just says here I'm busting for a wheeze. I read it, okay? I read it. Give us a review.
