Good morning. Welcome to the show, Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Happy Monday. Happy Monday. It's Monday. It's the 25th of November. We're a month. We're a month away from Christmas. Crazy, eh? I got asked what I was doing at New Year's Eve on the weekend.

Do you know what I said? What? Hopefully nothing. You know what I'd love to do again? Come to my house. No thanks. You know what I'd love to do again? Be in bed by nine o'clock.

Didn't you have a big New Year's last night? do again? Be in bed by nine o'clock. Didn't you have a big New Year's last night? I was in bed by nine o'clock. While everybody else was still partying at your house. I was in moderation. And so I went to bed at nine o'clock and it ruled. And then I was up the next morning, 7.30, bright as a daisy. Cleaning. Yeah, cleaning up the mess that everybody else made.

That was like a rockin' New Year's. We've got a party boy on our hands here. We really do. We've got a big party boy. Watch out. Yep. Top six on the way. You noticed this on an Air New Zealand flight recently, Hayley.

Yes, when I was privy to the lounge. Right. And I saw a jar of cookies. Yep. That to me looked directly like Anzac cookies. Anzac biscuits. Anzac biscuits. Sorry, yeah, they're not cookies.

Anzac biscuits, but they've renamed them chewy oaty biscuits. Yeah, and these are the ones they hand out on the flights. No, no, no. They're in the lounge in the jar. Right, okay. And in Auckland, they're yummy and soft and chewy. And in Wellington's airport lounge, they're okay. But by the time they get to Christchurch, hard.

Dry. I don't know what it is about the change in longitude. Yeah. Latitude. What are the tudes? Some of the tudes. But a lot of people online have been like, why are you calling it such a silly name?

It had a name. Anzac Biscuits. You're not allowed to. You're not allowed to use the word Anzac. Says who? As a commercial... I know it's a word every year that, you know, there's so much emotion tied to it. It's a hell of a thing. Of course. Many, many, many, many, many Australians and New Zealanders have sort of died under the name. So it is a sort of a sacred name. Yes. But I thought we all agreed that the biscuits was...

But bickies were Anzac bickies. Because they were the biscuits invented for the Anzacs. Yeah. Anyway, I've got the top six other names that are better than, what did you say they were called? Chewy Oat Biscuits. Chewy Oaty Biscuits. Terrible.

Terrible name. Terrible. Come to the Vaughan Smith home of marketing. Yeah. We will get you a new name for that biscuit. Top six coming up soon. Next on the show, what are men spending more money on? Their wives or their mistresses?

Vaughan? Vaughan? I don't have a mistress. Oh, okay. Are we allowed them now? You'd say that. Are we allowed them now? Play ZM's Flashborn and Hayley.

It is that time of the year where collectively as a planet, we refuse even in death to forgive Alan Rickman for buying a necklace for his mistress and breaking Emma Thompson's heart. He literally sacrificed himself for Harry in Harry Potter and we still can't get over the fact that he just bought that. He bought her a Joni Mitchell CD and she thought it was

a necklace. The necklace was for the mistress and she got a CD. Yeah. And what did she say? You've made a fool out of

not only me but everything I do or something. Anyway. Heartbreaking scene. Love Actually. It's Love Actually season. It's Love Actually season.

I think I'm going to hard launch the day I put my Christmas tree up. Okay. Yeah. Which will be very soon. Hopefully next week. You're going to watch Love Actually season. It's Love Actually season. I think I'm going to hard launch the day I put my Christmas tree up. Okay, yeah. Which will be very soon. Hopefully next week. You're going to watch Love Actually that day?

Yeah. I'm hard launching Christmas with Love Actually in the tree. The reason I'm talking about that scene is because he spent big money on the mistress, little money on the wife, and that's kind of the idea, right? Like you have this image, and it's always in movies, of them buying diamond rings and diamond bracelets for their mistresses men I'm talking about

and the wife getting you know what's the male equivalent of a mistress? Like if a wife has a a mastress a mattress a king size a mistress and a king mattress but there's no T it's just mastress A king size mattress.

A mistress and a king mattress. But there's no T, it's just masteress. Masteress. A masteress. So I would be a mistress and you two would be masteresses. Yes. Yeah. Okay, that's perfect.

Oh, no, it's so much better. No, nothing's better than masteress. We'd usually say paramour. Paramour, like the band. Like the band. Paramour. Paramour. Like the band. Like the band. Paramour. Paramour. Well, there was a- If it's a male lover in a relationship.

The University of Colorado, or is it Colorado? I think it's Colorado. Colorado. Yeah. They did three studies looking into this about perception of how much money people are spending on gifts for extramarital affairs. Wait, how did they find people that were having affairs that would admit to this and partake in it?

I've seen the same thing. I know. So they did it in three parts. One was an imaginative scenario where they got participants to imagine purchasing gifts for a marriage, like a husband or wife, and an extramarital thing. And then the second one was based on historical experiences. And the third one was based on opinion,

like what they thought, what they thought, how they thought people would spend their money. So it was three sort of angles at it. And it all came down to the same thing, which is that people do spend more money on their actual partners, their actual husbands and wives,

than they would on their mistresses or their masteresses. Or their paramours. Or their paramours. I'm going with mistress. Yeah. And I guess the sort of analysis of it was like, because they're maintaining the front, right, of the happy relationship, the happy marriage,

which kind of goes against a lot of what you'd see in movies, like Alan Rickman buying the diamond necklace for the mistress and the Joni Mitchell CD for his wife. So they're spending more on their husbands and wives than they would on their mistress or mistress. Okay, well, there's no need to worry then, is there? There's no need to worry. No, I worry.

Because you're getting a better gift. If I at Christmas get a diamond necklace from Aaron, I can only assume he's having an affair. Yeah, but at least she's only getting... Because it's very out of character for him to buy such an extravagant gift. But then at least you know that the mistress is only getting something like a Whitcalls voucher.

Why aren't Jared working here to message Aaron to remind him of your anniversary birthday or Christmas? I'd assume that Aaron's just going to forget any sort of special occasion ever exists. Remember when I got a dozen roses on Valentine's Day this year and I was shooketh to my core until I realised that Jared was behind it all?

Oh my god, yeah, Jared's gone. So just... See you later, gifts. I can't imagine Aaron having a mistress, having the... He wouldn't have a mistress or a mistress. No. It's just me. It mistress. No. It's just me. It's just you. It's just me.

But either of you two want to take over Jared's role of reminding him of things that I desire and want. No, I'm looking forward to seeing if he remembers this coming year. Yeah, yeah, me too, actually. Sometimes you send him a message on Messenger and then a week later you look and he still hasn't seen it.

Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. Two big movies out at the moment, Wicked and Gladiator 2. I haven't seen Wicked yet. I want to see Gladiator 2 so bad. In fact, I need to watch Gladiator 1. It's not like... I have heard you don't worry,

watch Gladiator before going and seeing Gladiator 2. Oh, really? Like just leave it in the distant memory? Yeah. Because it doesn't like run on from... Yeah, it does. It does. It does, but not like...

Not immediately. Immediately. But it's good, but it's Yeah, it does. It does. It does, but not like... Not immediately. Immediately. But it's good, but it's not as good as... I think Gladiator was like a phenomenal movie. Did they do that thing before the movie starts, like previously on Gladiator? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

Ching, clang, clang, ching, clang, clang, clang. Thumbs down. Stab. Well, in America, you know, they go crazy and they go all out with their movie merch. Do you remember those, was it June? Do you say June or Dune? June.

The popcorn buckets. Yeah. I've been saying Dune. Dune. Dune, right. That's nice. Well, do you remember they had the, yeah, the popcorn buckets and they looked like a kind of a puckered butthole?

Anus. Anus, yeah. And they go all out. By the way, if your anus does look like that, please see a doctor. If it looks like a dune bucket. If it looks like the Sarlacc from Star Wars, you've got to go and see a doctor. Every time there's a big movie, the movie merch is almost, I mean, it works because people go to the movies. How good was the Barbie merch last year?

Yeah. And the same thing is happening with the Wicked merch. That's because the entire movie was based off merch. That's why the Barbie merch is there. It was merch before it was a movie. Yeah, it was. For about 70 years. Wicked cups are going nuts on resale websites like eBay.

So the ones that you get at the premieres? Yes. Well, no, no, that you just buy. You can just buy them at the candy bar. Just like the cups. Oh, God, you just give them at the candy bar bar. Just like, you know, the cups. Oh God. Like you just give them the candy bar. Yeah.

And people are reselling them. Yep. Popcorn buckets. The high end stuff is going for about 200 US dollars. This is giving big get a grip energy. You know, like I get, you know, cause remember we, you know, they made the Barbie dolls

and they printed the wrong website on the back. Yep. www.wicked.com, which took you to an adult website. I get buying those because you're like, oh, this is, you know, an interesting thing. It's a collector's item. But buying the bloody Sprite cup. Well, producer Carwen and Shannon, you both went to the New Zealand premiere.

Have you been twice to the movie now? Yeah. Yeah. Did anybody sing either time? No. I heard they're going to say movie now? Yeah. Yeah. Did anybody sing either time? No. I heard they're going to say from now, they're going to put a date down.

From now, you're allowed to sing along. No. No, they're doing special sing-alongs. Yeah. I think in December, they're releasing

like a sing-along version so that you can go and know that you're going to have... Oh, with the karaoke on. Yeah. Yeah, I saw someone had taken, I think in America,

someone had taken a photo of a sign saying, please don't sing along. We're here to hear them, not you. No, we had well-behaved influencers around us. Everyone was lip syncing. And is there merch in New Zealand? Is it as good a quality as America?

So it's just released now. One of my friends, she went to an early screening where she couldn't get merch. So yesterday she went back to the mall to buy merch, not to see the movie again because she'd seen it twice. Right. And they won't sell you the popcorn bucket empty. So she had to buy a full popcorn bucket with the merch and everything.

And then did she just tip it in the bin? No, she ate it. Oh, okay. We're not silly. I'm not mad about buying popcorn. Oh, it's the best. You can get it on Uber Eats now. I've done it once. Movie popcorn. You can get movie popcorn on Uber Eats. Yeah, and mad about buying popcorn. Oh, it's the best. You can get it on Uber Eats now. I've done it once.

Movie popcorn. You can get movie popcorn on Uber Eats. Yeah, and a Trap Top. Oh. What? It's expensive, but it does look sweet. Well, the cinemas are like, well, I guess if we can't beat him, we'll just join him. Just join him, totally.

At home on the couch. Yeah, it's good stuff. Right. But the movie match is not as good as the American stuff. It's all right. It's cute. It's fine. But America goes next level. Yeah, they do. You've got Glinda's wand on stuff cute, it's fine, but like America goes next level, you know?

Like you've got Glinda's wand on stuff and it's just so much cuter. Yeah, the wand's going like crazy amounts on eBay. I can't wait to see both films actually. I just sort of want to watch it. Oh, it's Moana 2 for me. Oh, that's what I'm looking forward to the most. God, there's just so much good stuff

to watch. Top 6 is next. Top 6 are the names for the Anzac Bisc much good stuff to watch. Top six is next. Top six other names for the Anzac biscuit. Because apparently you're not allowed to use that name. Not if you're a commercial. Well, basically

in New Zealand it's called the Chewy Odie biscuit. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six.

Hello there. I've got the Top Six better names for the Anzac biscuit than chewy oaty biscuit. Because... The cotty loungers. Yeah, this was what an expose stuff did this. Yes. Somebody noticed this in the airport lounge. Yeah.

Yeah. And I noticed it the other day and I saw the jar and was like, how bizarre. So it's a biscuit with strict rules. Yeah. The Anzac biscuit. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, for good reason. It's all about the name and the honour that it holds, but I know they're not for everybody, but

when you get a good one. Yeah, World War I wasn't it? Yeah. Where it was a biscuit in the trenches. Yeah, it would last. It was easy. Yeah, you could send it and it would last. Send it as in like post it, not send it as in like you're in the trenches and you're like, let's send it, boys, up over the sides, which you had to do, which is horrible to think about. Actually, wars would be better if instead of bullets and bombs,

we threw chewy-oaty bickies. Bickies, yeah. You know? Wrapped up biscuits, though, because they'd get on the, you know, Flanders Field all through them. Oh, yeah. And I don't want to eat dirt. Yeah.

Well, I've got the top six better names for the biscuit than the chewy oaty biscuit. Number six on the list, the Bledisloe biscuit. Oh, yeah. Okay. This is the Bledisloe cup. Oh, yeah. That's good. The Bledisloe biscuit.

Now, who was Bledisloe? I don't know. Problematic? It sounds like he might have just come here with a boat and taken a bit of land. It's got big coloniser energy. It's huge. If you look into anything deep enough, though, you'll find there's a problem. You'll find a coloniser.

Including Vaughan's family. Oh, hell, you don't even need to look that hard. Hey, I've got a bit of both. I've got a bit of both from both sides. You've got the coloniser and the coloniser. Don't you? Yeah. Don't you?

yeah they are and number one on the list of the top six better names for the Anzac biscuit than the Churri Oaty Biscuit what about that needs more golden syrup biscuit

yeah because the golden syrup is the sweetness yeah and when they're not like bendy and chewy and like soft

to me someone's not putting enough golden syrup. Yeah, yeah. So a little bit more golden syrup. So sweet. So sweet. Well, the wall's on.

We don't have enough golden syrup, do we? It's rations. It's rations. That is today's Top 6. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Caught up with a good friend of mine at the weekend, Mark, who I haven't seen for a while,

but when we get together, we like to eat. Nice. I with a good friend of mine at the weekend, Mark, who I haven't seen for a while, but when we get together, we like to eat. Nice. I love a good eating friend. An eating friend, yeah. We both grew up rural New Zealand. I thought you were going to say we both grew up hungry. We were constantly hungry.

We were boys with hollow legs. You know, growing up on the home kill. Anyway, so when we get together, we like to eat. Now, our daughters were playing and we said, we'll go get dinner. And what do you guys want? And they said pizza. So, you know, and you know, Hayley, out of my way, Kim, you 12,000 pizza outlets. Oh, yeah.

I don't believe that's an exaggeration. There's every second store. Yeah. It's pizza. We said, what? Choose your pizza you could anything from supermarket frozen

to wood fired yeah exactly and everything in between the whole spectrum of pizza okay so they said pizza hut which is an unusual

choice for them okay because they're usually dominoes girls okay but anyway they're spreading it around yeah yeah

they're trying these things you know extending their culinary palate yeah wow brave really brave from one how the hell do they make pizza that cheap But anyway, they're spreading it around. Yeah, yeah, they're trying these things, you know, extending their culinary palette. Yeah, wow, brave, really brave. From one, how the hell do they make pizza that cheap, to another, how the hell do they make pizza that cheap? Yeah.

So we went down to the local pizza hut, and as we were walking in, we walked in and we were talking about something else, and as we walked in, we both looked at the big poster on the door for the limousine. What's that? So I've seen the door for the limousine. What's that? So I've seen the ad for it all the time, and it's a long pizza. Oh, yeah. And you can choose three flavours, and it's this big, long box.

I see it. And at the end, there's two sides. Right. How big is this again? A metre. I thought the box would be at least a metre. At least a metre. Okay.

It's a big box. It's garish. When you carry it out, you're almost like, people look at you and you're like, wow. Oh my God, Vaughan. Feed the team. Yeah, feed the team. The team is not two people. So when we, and we just looked at each other and we knew without saying we were going to have to, we were going to sit down and we were going to do this.

But I assumed the girls would be helping us. But then Mark's like, can we get a cheese pizza, Hawaiian pizza, a limousine? And these are the three flavors we want. So the cheese and the Hawaiian, that's for the girls. And then he gets to the end and he's like, and two packs of those wings, those boxes of wings. He's an angry boy. So then we go home and he's like, girls, pizza. And then they take it and they're in the tree house. So they go up and eat in there. And we sit outside and he's like girls pizza and then they take it and they're on the tree house so they go up

and eat in there and we sit outside and we lay out this thing and we're like the meal for the team the meal for the team and we're like here we go

and he's like I'm going to start with a couple of wings why would you do that I was like I'm getting straight into the pizza so then I

started eating the pizza and then he started on the wings and then I went for a couple of wings good not bad not bad wings back to the pizza and it was getting like I'd say we were went for a couple of wings. Good, not bad. Not bad wings. Back to the pizza

and it was getting like, I'd say we were three quarters of the way through it and he's like, I was like, we're not going to leave this much though, are we? Three quarters of the way through? And we ate the whole thing. And wings. Oh my god! Fournette's like more than a metre and a half of pizza. It was silly. It was a ridiculous amount of

doughy carbs. It's so much. Just looking at it. But I also hadn't had lunch. Right. How many? Look at me trying to justify my gluttony. Like I'm going to be you know, my day comes, I'm at the pearly gates and what's the guy that meets you at the heavens? I'm not going to heaven. But anyway, they meet you

at the gates and they're like, okay, we'll go through the sins. Gluttony's first up. And Mr. Smith, this is a long list. Yeah. And I'm like, ooh, sorry. He's like, you did eat a meat along pizza with your friend. It's gotta be more than a meter. But it was for the team. It was for the team. We're a team.

Why? Is it the equivalent of what? Three pizzas. Right. So you had a pizza and a half. Oh, okay. Oh, that's not, when you put it like that. I can definitely eat a pizza and a half. Yeah. How good is it when you accidentally eat a whole pizza? When you're like, we'll save it, because cold pizza the next day rules for like lunch.

I don't think that that's that bad. But then you eat a whole one and you're like, oh no, what am I doing? No, I can do it easily. Because you're a thin crust, eh? Yeah, I'm thin and crispy. You're both thin and crispy. Yeah.

Oh, really? I'm here for the toppings. I'm not here for the bread. I love a bit of doughy. Yeah, nah. I love a bit of doughy underneath. Nah. Oh, I'm proud'm here for the toppings. I'm not here for the bread. I love a bit of doughy. Yeah, nah. I love a bit of doughy underneath. Nah.

You get your pizza. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hope it goes straight to the right areas. You know what I mean? Me too.

Me too. To the dumper. Back to the dumper. Get in the dumper. Play ZM's Flashborn and Hayley. Fleshborn 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. Silly little pole. Are you going to your local Santa parade? Question.

No. Answers are either love it or not for me. So a yay or a nay. I haven't been for years until we went last year and had a great time. But I don't know that I'll go again. A lot of kids at Santa Parades. I'll just say that. Quite a lot of children.

Well, we're recording our Christmas podcast special the same day as my local Santa Parade. Oh, there you go. So that's going to go down well when I finally tell my family. Go to your local Santa Parade. Love it. 30%? Not for me.

70%. Yeah. Of people not feeling the Christmas spirit. Not into it., love it. 30%? Not for me. 70% of people not feeling the Christmas spirit. Not into it. Not into it. Well, if you don't have kids, there's really no point. Yeah. Although some do go. The bigger ones, like the Auckland one, is pretty insane.

Yeah, totally. Like a lot of characters and stuff. Yeah. Matilda said, Dink Life gets me out of this. Now, that's a double income, no kids. That means they don't have to go to the Santa Parade. You need to head out to the wider regions. It gets a lot boozier.

The regional Santa Parades. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Arana says, People? No. No, thank you. Nope. We've got a lot of Vaughans listening, eh?

I know. A lot of Vaughans. Yeah. You just don't know because they never, like, turn up to any of our events we host. Yeah. They literally, yeah. They never speak to you. Voluntarily bear around children, said Amy.

Are you insane? Yeah. And you can't, they can't throw lollies like they used to. No, it's changed. No, yeah. Too many eyeballs hit. The hard fruit jube. Tessa said,

the local one rules all the feels. I enjoy the one in town about as much as Fletch does. So she's like, the big one's not for her, the little one's she's on board with.

I like them because they're a bit crap. You know, some local mechanics has got their van out and put some reindeer antlers on it. One of my favourite ones

is the home kill guy that does it and the cumu one every year. And sometimes he hangs up a fake deer. Yeah. Amazing. That's funny. That's so good. I only love the idea of going now since having a baby, said Ashley.

So she's re-invigorated Christmas by giving birth. The joy. The joy of Christmas. Just like Mary did when she invented Christmas. Oh, I'm sure she loved giving birth. The joy. Just like Mary did when she invented Christmas. Oh, I'm sure she loved giving birth. She was the original my child is so advanced. Oh, I know. Didn't even need a

father. He's actually the son of God. Yeah, we all think that of our own children, don't we? We do. Ashley said, would be better if kids weren't there. Jeepers. Children might be the common issue here. You need an option for parents being dragged along because their kids are in it.

Oh, so they, and she said you have to go because their kids are on the float. And then you've got to like, not be on your phone and look up and wave at them. Yeah, if you miss them. Otherwise they'll cry

and make a scene on the float. And have some big child, you know, trauma going on in their life. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll be in therapy at the age of 35 being like, I was waving at my dad and he didn't see me. I was one of the wise men and he wasn't even watching.

Yeah, he was flirting with the neighbour. I saw him. John says, kids and happy families, I'd rather shit in my hands and clap. Hashtag I am the Grinch. Oh, my God. Wow. Kids and happy families.

Geez, not even I would say that. No, no. Mum organised and ran the Wellington one, said Charlie. Loved working on the parade. So many happy faces. So sad when they stopped a Wellington Christmas parade. Bring it back. Dude, they stopped it.

Where would it have gone? Lambton. You're going to want to hone all the way to Lambton. Surely they've still got a Christmas parade. We've got streets of Lambton. I reckon they'd have the Porirua Christmas parade. Right. Or is it something

the government cut again? David Seymour. David Seymour. We can only blame David, I think. Yeah. David bloody Seymour. Hey, David.

Bloody Seymour's cut that, is he? Yeah. I would, but they cancelled it. Used to go and they'd hand out bags of carrots

and pukkoi, says Dale. Oh, because they have lots of carrots. Yeah, they're a carrot place. Is that what pookie's known for? Onions. Carrots. Bacon. Teenage pregnancies. And what

used to be the home of the V8 supercars. Which coincided with a lot of teenage pregnancies. You eat carrots, you've got a nice healthy body. That carrot hand's hurting through your body. You can see in the dark. And we all know you best made love in the dark. Yeah.

No one knows. That's today's silly little pun. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. I hate sore losers. I really hate sore losers. I don't know what it is. It just always gives me such an ick vibe, like, oh, God.

And Hayley Bieber is very upset for her husband, Justin Bieber, because Billboard, who do all the sort of music rankings and... Yeah, the charts. The charts and whatnot, they have released... Well, they're slowly releasing the list of the greatest pop stars of the 21st century. And at the moment, they are... That's the one that we're in, eh?

That's the one we're in. Yeah, and at the moment, they're up to... Third. They've announced three. They've still got two to announce, which one has got to be Taylor Swift. Well, here's your ten, right? In tenth, Adele, agree. Yep.

Ninth, Ariana Grande, agree. Like, huge influence. Eighth, Justin Bieber, to which. Like, huge influence. Eighth, Justin Bieber. To which Hailey Bieber said in an interview, Billboard is an effing joke as per usual. What did she want him to be? What, one or two or something? He hasn't done anything for a while.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Listen to the rest of the list and be like, okay. Now, number seven's Kanye West. Yeah. I mean, early, I know. Also not a pop star. Early Kanye, yeah, that's true. But produced pop music and early Kanye

was incredible. I mean, he's absolutely gone off the rail and intolerable. Sixth, Britney Spears, who started her reign in the 20th century, but in the 21st century, she's doing great. Right?

Totally agree. Fifth, Lady Gaga. Totally agree. Okay. Fourth, Drake. Again, maybe not a pop star, but big influence. Yep. Totally agree.

Third, Rihanna. Totally agree. Now, the top two are yet to come out. They're sort of drip feeding it. It's obviously number one. Taylor Swift is number one, right? There's no doubt. Who's number two?

Who's number two? Who's number two? Who's number two? Lincoln Park. No. Shit, you're right there. Yeah, you're completely spot on. Hoobastan. Hoobastan.

You're right, Lionel Richie. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's number two? Who could it be? Pop stars, 21st century. Beyonce. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's Taylor and Beyonce. Wait, did you think of that? Beyonce might be one. Wait, did you think of that or did someone text it? No, no, I thought of it.

Yeah. I was literally about to Google. It was good for me. Of course it's Beyonce. I was about to Google highest selling artists of the 2000s, but then I was like, it's Beyonce. It's Beyonce. Because you'd say she does a bit of R&B, but it's kind of pop.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, definitely pop. And Liz Dionysius, yeah, she's number two. Taylor Swift's number one. If you think about the 21st century music, you're like Beyonce and Taylor Swift. That makes sense. But yeah, Hailey Bieber was so upset. Carlin has raised a good point.

Where does Ed Sheeran fit on the list? Is he a pop star? 100% he's a pop star. But British. 24. He was 24th. He was 24th. 24th on the list.

Oh! But also this. I'm sure while he's in his mansion, he'll be crying into his pool that he said was a pond to get around local council rules. Yeah, my man. Yeah. But also, is he big in the US as much as he is elsewhere around the world? Maybe not.

Maybe not as big in the US. 24th. That feels low for someone who had one of the biggest selling tours. I mean, Harry Styles will be on there, right, at some point? No. Like, way down. Because Billboard usually goes to 100, so they'd do 100, wouldn't they? But you're so right.

Beyonce and Taylor Swift could be number one. Anyway, I just thought it was so funny that Hailey Bieber was so upset. My husband. You're like, not really. Eighth is really high. Yeah. So, shut up. Suck it?

Are we saying suck it? Is it suck it? I'm going to give Hayley Bieber a suck it. I think you're saying, hey, suck it. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Shannon, presenteth your hack. Where was your last hack?

It wasn't bad. Well, my last one that you were here for was the pads on the feet which was my highest rated score. While you were away I did one to help you decorate baubles and you cut a balloon and make your baubles for use. We didn't give that a high

rating at all. That was low. I don't think you got it, you know. Yeah, I liked it. No, we got it. We got it. It was just... It just wasn't great. And it was a whole lot of bloons, and I was just like, yeah, it didn't work.

Well, Shannon has been trying to pitch us a hack for months now. And if she gets five stars for her hack, she gets her own jingle. Thus making this an official segment. Which it kind of almost is anyway. No! No.

Not until she gets a five star. Right, okay. Okay, today could be the day. Right. I do have high hopes for today. Okay. I'm combining my highest rated hack, which involved a sanitary product,

and Fletcher's love of mints. The boy loves mints. He loves mints. Who doesn't love mints? Mints is very versatile. So versatile. Yeah, man, I love mints. Actually, I'm going to have mince for dinner tonight. Thank you. And in what form? Nachos. You should have nachos. Yeah, I might do

nachos. Mince on toast. Yeah, mince on toast. All good mince options. I could do a spag bol. Yeah, yum. I could do a chili con carne. You could do a Filipino meatloaf. Which I still haven't tried, but I simply must wonder. Yeah. Would you like some help still haven't tried, but I simply must wonder. Would you like some help cooking your mints tonight?

I would, Shannon. Don't you hate when you're cooking mints and all that orange goo comes out and there's oil and it's messing with all... No, that's the tasty, that's what mints is. That's fat. That's the fat, that's the good stuff, that's the yummy. Do you remember growing up with your mum always getting rid of the fat? Yeah, the watery bit.

The watery bit away. You're talking about that part. Yeah, that's the part I'm talking about. The water's different. You're buying poor quality mints. Oh, of course I am. Someone's juicing it up. I'm 25.

Supermarket's juicing it up with water to weigh it down, give it more weight. I never get this with my home kill mints. You've got to get premium mints. Okay, well this is for us 25-year-olds who buy cheap mints. Cheap mints, yeah. So when all that water comes out, ah, it's the worst.

It's messing with the seasoning. It gets all gooey. It's messing with the seasoning. No, no, no. What are you doing putting the seasoning in that soon? If the water's still coming out, you're not adding the seasoning yet. You're not ready, but that's okay.

You're not ready for the seasoning. Okay, well. That also happens with chicken, by the way. Yeah. Some of the chicken is a bit watery, eh? Leaky chicken. Yeah. Chicken mints.

No, like chicken breast or whatever. You know how some chicken you get in a tray, that never leaks. Some chicken you get in a sack, that's full of liquid. A sack of chicken. You know those bags, and you cut open the bag. I love that. You mean

like a hot rotisserie chicken? No, no, I'm talking about like the organic chicken, and you get it in that bag, that green bag, and you slip it in. Sometimes I slip it, I slop in the whole bag and all that chicken liquid

comes out and goes white. It's good to get the chicken in the dark. Yuck. Yuck. Well, yuck indeed. Yes. So how is your hack

helping us with this meat liquid? Man, if your hack's a spoon, I'm going to hit the roof. Boom, chuck a tamp hit the roof. Boom. Chuck a tampon in it. Soaks up all the water, none of the chicken or the mints, because that's not going to work. Chuck a tampon in it. Chuck a tampon in it.

I'm not even chucking a tampon into my body these days. They're so toxic. No. I'm not shoving that into a frying pan. No, but you're not eating the tampon. No, but you are by proxy because it's rubbing around in your food. It's rubbing against all your mints,

so to speak. So your idea is that the tampon, as opposed to, shall I say, something nearby like a paper towel. No, but that wouldn't hold it. You know how like a paper towel, you need like seven of them. She's got a point there. It would go, the paper towels go soggy if you were dabbing it in.

Disintegrate. Then you're eating your paper towel. You never eat a tampon. Put that on a calendar. What is the average temperature of a vagina? 37. About 37, right? It's like when you take your own temperature.

Yeah. Right. I can't believe Shannon knew that and yet has these useless hacks. Well, she'll know because this girl knows her internal temperatures. Yeah, right. From all of her ailments. She knows where she's supposed to be sitting everywhere. Okay.

The tampon is designed for a 37 degree environment, shall we say. Now you're dropping it in something close to boiling. I don't believe something designed for 37 is going to be the same in a situation near 100. But it's water. It's unknowns. If the water was ice or steam, sure. If we've sublimated, it's not working. What?

Sublimation, when you turn something from ice to steam. There's just no way that I am chucking a tampon into a frying pan. It's just not happening. It's going to kill my nachos. Yeah, it's going to kill the enjoyment of the nachos. And then I'm going to eat the nachos and think, a tampon's been in these nachos. A tampon's just cotton.

You were fine with a shitty paper towel. They've got the coating on them that keeps them together, and that's toxic. Fine, get an organic one. I don't want my mints getting toxic shock. If it's not good enough for my vaginal canal, it's not good enough for my nachos. Yeah, and what if, like, many have,

you forget you've got it in there? Oh, I know. Well, you've got eight hours. What? You get toxic shock after eight hours. So you've got eight hours to eat your mints before the tampon gives you TCs. I believe that.

This is a zero for me. This is one of your most gross hacks. I believe that. This is a zero for me. This is one of your most gross hacks. It's grim. It's a zero. I'm going to give it a one because, I mean, you know, at least it's outside the box thinking. I'm going to send messages in. Okay.

Statements I never thought I'd hear on the radio this morning. Quote, you'd never eat a tampon. You wouldn't. Someone said I love it. Shannon is a fricking genius. Thank you. Finally someone gets it. Let said I love it. Shannon is a fricking genius. Thank you. Let's check that number though. Finally someone gets it.

Let's check that number. Oh, it's Shannon's number. I can't text and talk. I don't multitask. It's pre-sent. She pre-typed it. She pre-typed it. She was just halfway through talking.

She went, send. Ready to go. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. I was away this weekend. Okay. I was away this weekend and sat in a couple of hotels. Away with the bloody fairies? You're not wrong, Vaughan Smith.

You were on the Seven Days Tour. Yep, two more dates to go. I didn't mean to call them fairies. When I said away with the fairies, I wasn't calling anyone. Jeremy Corbett is so upset with you. So I've been away with the boys and Juzzy and we've been on the road. We did Palmy and New Plymouth. God, I love New

Plymouth, man. Yeah. Your mountain looked like shit, by the way. Oh, it's always hiding. Yeah. It's always hiding. A little flirt, eh? I know. I could see the tip and the tip looked good. That's the thing. You can often see the tip. Yeah. But the actual base of it was all covered.

But God, you get a day where it's all clear in the mountain. It's beautiful. Yes. Now... Yeah, so is Wellington on a good day. Yeah. How often does it happen though? But when it does, boy oh boy.

But when it does... Exactly, when it does. You can't beat it. It's worth the wait. Yeah. Anyway, I was... I woke up in a hotel room to get into the van to drive from New Plymouth to Parmy.

And as I was getting from my bed to the shower, the air con had been on all night. And it was really cold in the room. And something happens to my body when it's cold. It just gets tight. It just gets tight. It gets real tight. Stoked on it? Like, good, you're looking.

Yeah, tight. Looking good. Is that what happens when your body gets cold? So my boobies, they always look better. It's to protect your organs, right? Because they're cold, so there's contraction. Yeah. I don't know,

it's almost like a free breastplate. Okay, if you're taking a photo. Oh, absolutely. For men, I guess if you were taking a photo of the downstairs and it's icy cold in that room, no good. That's bad. Yeah, right. But a body shot.

A body shot. You want to be cold. You want to be cold. Okay. Everything's tight. Interesting. So I walked past this mirror and I was nude. Yeah.

And I was going to the shower and I thought, tight. So all I did, all I did, innocently, was snap a quick pic. Okay? Of your naked body? Yeah, just. Who for? Just. For her was snap a quick pic. Okay? Of your naked body? Yeah, just. Who for? Just. For who records?

For my records. Okay. For who records? For the books. Are you doing like a before and after or something? I don't know. Maybe. I just was tight.

And I just was celebrating the tightness. Okay. Quick snap. Nothing of it. Right. Shower. Did you send it to Aaron? No.

Okay. But maybe I will. Yeah. Because it was tight. Nope. Okay. But maybe I will. Because it was twice. So, quick snap, go about my day, get the shower, drive to Palmy, perform that night, great, go to bed that night, yesterday jumped on a plane,

little plane, real little plane. And I'm at the back, I'm sat next to our sound engineer, John, and full plane. Yep. And I'm at the back. I'm sat next to our sound engineer, John, and full plane. And I was listening to my playlist on Spotify or iHeartRadio. Can't remember which one. And I was listening and then I- I'm keeping a KPI tally.

Okay, good. Because she went into the negatives because she said Spotify first, but then the KPIs and the mentioning of iHeartRadio, so she's back at even. It's a neutralised KPI tally. Okay, good, yeah. Because she went into the negatives because she said Spotify first, but then the KPIs and the mentioning of iHeartRadio, so she's back at even. Neutralised it. It's a neutralised KPI. You can listen to the radio show live on iHeartRadio. Yeah, you can.

On the air. But I was in the air. Yeah. You know? Anyway, so I don't know how this happened, but I went to open up my phone to change the song on my playlist. Yeah. And the photo was just there.

It was like, it was the last thing that had been opened. Right. And there she was. So when you scrolled up, like when you flicked up to get to the apps. To get to the apps, it was on photos. And on the photo, it was the tight nude photo. And I just, oh, no. I just had that moment where I just quickly, you know,

your hand almost goes, and just kind of threw it up. Yeah. And I caught it down like this. The photo's still on. Now, John next to me, I can only believe he's seen it. He's definitely. This was on a flight from Palmerston North to Auckland So a tiny place, and you're right next to

It's a two seat, we're two abreast And I go like this So I go, oh my gosh Made a big fuss Fumbled away He's got sunglasses, headphones on I've got sunglasses, headphones on. Yeah. I dare not look.

So I look out the window like this, which at that point I notice two other gentlemen behind me. And I was like, far out. Did they see through the crack the twine nude? I always look through the crack

if I see someone's on their phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've actually talked about it before, the stuff that we've seen on other people's phones. Oh my God, I love it. Your eye's just drawn to it. Even if you're just like, oh, they're on this app

or oh, they're playing that game or oh, they're sending an email. Oh, she's naked in that photo. So I sort of did like a casual sort of turnaround with my sunglasses on and there was one gentleman who caught my eye and I just quickly turned back. So I can only assume at least he's seen it.

So yeah, I think yesterday potentially one if not three gentlemen on a flight from Palmerston North including one man that I know caught an eye of the toy potty. Well at least it was toy.

Do you know what I mean? At least it was toy. Yeah, it was a good pick. It was a good pick. Which you weren't everybody dreams of, right? Mortifying. Maybe just put that in your hidden photos next time. Oh, it got a hard delete. In your hidden album. It was a good pick. Which you weren't everybody dreams of, right? Mortifier. Maybe just put that in your hidden photos next time.

Oh, it got a hard delete. In your hidden album. It got a hard delete. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Twas just reading an article. Were you? Twas, twas. He's well read, Al Vaughan.

I like to read books. Really? What's the last book you read? I don't read books. Yeah, you like to watch Netflix shows. I read books. You listen to books. I listen to books. You don't read books Yeah you like to watch Netflix shows I read books You listen to books You don't read books Nah I don't know what I read really

The internet Yeah bit of the internet Captions I actually read Netflix shows because I always have captions on I hate that So you're well read I am very well read Just recently I re-read

the Lord of the Rings trilogy did you watch that with captions? yeah it's a cinematic masterpiece and you've got white font down the middle for your first language of English well there's a lot of words in there that I've never

come across in the English language. You know, elven. Yeah, elvish. So this 43-year-old is talking about how she still lives at home. She loves it because her parents are her best friends. Now, that's okay to say when you're 19. I was going to say 10.

Or 10. 43, it's verging on like person in the neighbourhood that people are talking about that's a little bit weird. Yeah. But, yeah, she still lives at home. One of the main reasons is how expensive it is to not live at home. But she loves it.

Yeah. I don't have currently, oh, I think I've got, like, one or two friends that live at home, but it's all very temporary. Right, so StatsZ in August of this year said that one in every three people between the age of 18 and 34 still live at home with their parents. How many, sorry? One in three. One in every three people. I get it, man. I mean, because when I moved out of home, I could. My rent was $150 a week and

I had a job. You know what I mean? It was sustainable. It was fine. Food was cheap and I didn't eat very well and I had a crap car and petrol was cheap. But now I totally understand. Would you be, Vaughan, as someone who's girls are growing up faster and faster,

you would happily have them at home until they were in their 40s. Yeah, that's a bit, no. It depends what kind of living at home they're doing. Like, are they relying on you for everything? Like, you're charging them rent, right? You know when you're a kid and you live at home, your mum does your washing and is constantly like,

hey, pick up your towel. And like that, learning to be an adult, learning to be a human. Yeah. Is it just that with an adult size human? Because then that's a bit like, what is it called? Failure to launch.

Arrested development is the term for it, right? You get to a certain part of your life and you don't get any more of an adult. Yeah. So not if it was like that, but totally like if something went wrong, they'd always be welcome back. I'd love to live at home with my parents.

But could you live there with Aaron? That's the other thing, bringing somebody else into that family dynamic. Like you imagine if you have a disagreement with Aaron and you've got two people who will always back you up and he's just a one man army against a stand of Sprouls. And then you've got to go back to having quiet lovemaking. Because you're so loud, aren't you?

Very vocal. I did see on the Riverhead page there was complaints about somebody thought a dog was locked in a shed and the animal control got called, but it was just Hayley's lovemaking. Howling. Howling. Is that seriously on the local page?

No. Jesus, are you serious? How long have we worked together? I'm lying. I'm lying for entertainment. I knew it wasn't Hayley, but I was like, it wouldn't surprise me out where you guys live. Oh, no, no, totally all the time.

Absolutely all the time. It's the Wild West. It's the Wild West. It's the absolute Wild West. I think lots of people do love living at home. I think we should get some calls and messages in from our listeners. If they live at home and love it. Because there would be some great perks.

If you're getting washing and all the dinners. Of course you're going to love it. If you were saving to go overseas or saving for your first home. Yeah, that's what people do it for. Totally. It would be so great. But what about people that aren't saving to go overseas or for their first time? Just love it.

They just love it. Just love it. Their lunch is made and their bed's turned down. And if the parents love it then it's win-win. I reckon if it's a daughter, the dad's like you're welcome here anytime. And if it's a son, the mum's like my little boy is welcome here

anytime. But I reckon when the son's still at home, the dad's like get out of here. And if the daughter's still at home, the mum's a bit like, get out of here. And if the daughter's still at home, the mum's a bit like, when are you going to find someone? Yes, you're spot on. Well, one in three is still living at home up to the age of, what, 34. Yeah, we want to know, do you still

live at home? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We want to know if you're still living at home. Yeah. And if you're absolutely loving it. Because one in three, you were saying?

Yeah, in New Zealand, one in three young people. And in America as well, it's very, very similar. One in three. Jeepers. Aged between 18 and 29 in America or living at home. That's like millions, I reckon. Someone texted, my brother lives at home and he loves it. Mum does everything for him.

All he has to do is mow the lawns, doesn't pay any rent. Dad doesn't mind. They all seem very happy. Does he just have so much money? Or does he waste it all on like... No, that's the thing. You just get used to your surroundings, right? It's like when you get a pay raise, you're like, I'm going to be able to save so much money. And you don't, you just... It's the thing. You just get used to your surroundings, right? It's like when you get

a pay raise, I'm going to be able to save so much money and you don't. It's just gone. Yeah, yeah. It's just blown on and on and on and on.

Holly, good morning. You still live at home with your partner? Good morning. Yeah, we do. We do. But we're in the process of like we sold our house

and then we bought a new one and it's been like a six month process and I have loved it. Wow. Yes, Lee. So do you get... Do your parents love it though? Yeah, I think my dad, low-key,

like he loves living with my dog more than me sometimes because he just doesn't have an inside dog and now that we've got Biggie there, he's just as best with him. Oh, right. Wait, you moved into your parents' house and they're not an inside dog people and your dog was an inside dog?

He has a little spot in like the dining area but then sometimes he's got a little spot that comes to allow. Out, out, out. Every dog's an outside dog if they try hard enough.

Out, out, out. They're not going to let you take that dog when you move out though. Yeah, they'll fall in love with that. That's the worry. But at least they knew

you were only there for six months or for like a little bit of time. Yeah, 100%. And how was it with the partner? Is there ever any tension? It's a worry. But at least they knew you were only there for six months or for like a little bit of time. And how was it with the partner? Is there ever any tension? No, he's good because mum cooks him breakfast. He loves that.

Oh, my God. Fancy that. On the weekends. On the weekends. On the weekends. Oh, that's pretty nice. That's pretty good. I wouldn't be complaining.

Holly, thank you. Anonymous, you're still living at home and loving it. Well, not still. I moved back. Oh, right. Okay. I did leave temporarily. Yeah.

I lived overseas for most of my adult life, and then I came back during COVID. And then people are gross. Why would you want to flat with them? Yeah. You're not wrong. You actually did, right? They are a bit yuck, aren't they? People are yuck. I live in a clean house.

I get my lunch made every day. Stop it. What does your mum make you for lunch? Oh, I have these like pita bread pizzas. Yum, pita bread pizzas. With like beans. Yeah, they're really nice. And do you get your washing done for you as well?

I mean, I would do it, but she's very particular. So she does it. Is dad around? Yeah, yeah. But he's like, we live on a big lifestyle block and we've got similar goats to Vaughan. Oh yeah, great goats. And yeah, we've got loads of animals.

Right, so he's busy doing that. Like, I've got, like, six planters. Like, I grow all our vegetables. Oh, lovely. So how long have you been living back home? For five years. Are you worried that you are putting yourself in a situation where nothing's ever going to be as good and, like, no man's ever going to measure up to your father

which is every father's dream but that you'll never be able to not live at home I do, I mean I've like I've done it, like I've lived with partners and you know like just pubes everywhere

I mean if someone wants to come along but I don't know if any of you are dating in this country, but it is horrendous. Not a lot, apparently. The word on the street is dating's pretty grim in New Zealand, so fair enough. So stay at home. I can see why that movement's starting to take off.

Yeah, yeah. Live on farms and buy ourselves animals and what we could. How old are you? 35. Mean. Keep it going, I reckon. Living the dream, Anonymous. No kids, no husband.

Man, just go with some mum and dad. It sounds like there's some money for some holidays too. Good move. Anonymous, thank you. Some messages in. A lot of people still living at home and loving it. Yeah, somebody said, okay, now this is a bit of a different situation. My mum died

and my dad was living in a big house by himself. So me and my two kids moved in to keep him company and help him out. It's got its ups and its downs, but it's working out for all of us. We have our own space.

I would totally do that. 100%. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Some brutal text messages coming through. Man, it's funny listening to all these losers

justifying being losers. Oh, how? Really? The one I love was I live with my husband's parents and we shoot them in the face. We don't know if you're living at home and loving it.

Yeah. Because there are so many people still living at home. Stats say that it's one in three. Lot of mums cooking for their kids still. I'm nearly 29, live at home and love it. My mum cooks me breakfast every morning

for my half hour commute on the way to work. Cooks you breakfast? They're having a cooked breakfast every morning? That's mean. That's luxury. My mum's love language is like providing food and like things. I think she'd love it. It's weird because Patsy's never cooked us anything.

Not a damn thing. It's actually crazy, isn't it? Not a goddamn sausage. Not even a meatloaf. Not even a sausage. Patsy's never cooked us anything. Not a damn thing. It's actually crazy, isn't it? Not a goddamn sausage. Not even a meatloaf. Not even a sausage. Patsy's meatloaf is number one. Geordie, good morning. You still live at home?

Yes. Okay, and loving it? Loving it. Okay. I cook every night, and my partner does all the cleaning, and he's probably listening right now as well. Wait, this sounds like you're doing all the work, though. Yeah, so we have a one-and-a-half-year-old

who you can probably hear in the background. We can. And they don't mind the fact that you have a one-and-a-half-year-old at home? No, I think they actually enjoy having her around. Yeah, that's probably, like, a lovely thing for them. I mean, I had friends growing up that lived with their grandparents and it was awesome. Yeah, yeah, I think it's great. I mean, I had friends growing up that lived with their grandparents and it was awesome.

Yeah, yeah, I think it's great. I mean, they love having her around. We can clean and I mean, we kind of get

free childcare in return. And is this a long-term thing, do you think? No, probably not. It was more that we're trying to save and yeah.

Yeah. But houses are expensive. I know, and that's why a lot of people are staying at home and if the parents can put up with you, then it's I know. Aren't they? And that's why a lot of people are staying at home. And if the parents can put up with you, then it's all good, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, my sister's at home as well, so.

Oh, my God. We're all there. Yeah. How old's your sister? I bet your parents are just at this stage, they're almost like, I wish they had bought on capital gains. These kids would be out of their minds. My sister's 30.

Your sister's 30? Wow. So there's you, your partner, a baby, and your sister. So there's four extra people in this house? Yes. Yeah. Can I ask you a question and we can dance around it? But when you want to engage in some intimate times,

how's that, you know, like, is that an odd thing? It's a very quiet thing. Yeah. how's that, you know, like, is that an odd thing? Um, it's a very quiet thing. Yeah. Lots of hushed whispers. Amazing. Good for you, Geordie.

Thank you, Geordie. Some messages in. I do it at 35. It's the best. Mum makes my lunches. Whoop, whoop. I have lived out of home

for about 15 years. I think they prefer me to move out, but I don't see that happening. One day you'll just come home and they'll change the locks on you. Maybe you'll get the message. That'd be good. Yeah. I finished my Masters 10 months ago, moved back in with my parents afterwards. Cheap, free

food, etc. But it started to take a toll on my mental health because they're not really sure how to live with me without parenting me. Fair enough, it's all they know. Leave then. Yeah, leave. They are your parents. You're living with them.

They don't know how to live with me without parenting me. No, but they're your parents. They're your masters. Look at the size of this student load. You're mooching off them. You're living there for free. But they won't stop parenting me. Well, pass off.

Someone, 22, look at home. Also, I need to know what the masters was in. Is it something helpful? Masters. I said a masters helpful Masters I was at a Masters It's a lot Masters in English Boy I can't wait to work 22

See you later. Sounds like heaven, but never leave. Never leave. Someone said my boss's son is 20 and living with his parents at home because he's trying to save to buy a house but says he'll continue living at mum and dad's even after the purchase. So he's buying a little rental property,

putting someone in there, getting cash and living with mum and dad's. I think the parents will be like, no. Or I want a cut. Yeah, get out of it. Yeah. A lot of people living at home and loving it.

Would you, Fletch? No. No. Live with your parents. God, the things. I just, we couldn't even. Poor Bev. The things she'd say.

What about poor me? What about poor me? She'd need more than a brown noise machine. What about me? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Okay, so something else happened on the flight home from Parmy to Auckland yesterday. Not only...

Not only... Thank you. Jesus Christ. You turned that off. You did that. Don't you dare blame me for that. You did that. You're in charge of buttons.

Hayley saw that. I saw you do it. Even if I did turn this off, you're in charge of buttons. That was a test and you failed. So you're just putting him through tests now? He's constantly on tests. He's being tested constantly.

He's the only professional in this room and we all know it. So not only did the man beside you and two men behind you see your hot nude that you took of yourself because you were feeling toit because you woke up in the morning and it was cold and your body was toit and lifted. Yeah. That's one thing that happened on this plane. That's one thing that happened.

The second thing was we landed and went to go pick up our bags and I saw that on that flight was none other than, I mean, a plane full of legends. Let me just say, there's Jeremy Corbett, there's Di Henwood, there's Paul Egger, there's Justin Smith, Ben Hurley, Hayley Sproul. I mean, the luck. Wow. Josh Thompson's there as well. And so this plane of comedians.

And then I notice Christmas legend Frankie Stevens is there. Oh, they defrosted Frankie, have they? He's been defrosted and he was there. And I was like, man, what a legend. I haven't seen Frankie in years. He's a great man. Oh, he's a fantastic guy. Interviewed him over the years.

He's always very lovely, isn't he? I call him Christmas legend because, of course, he always hosted Christmas in the Park. Iconic. And I was like, wow, Frankie's here on the years. He's always very lovely, isn't he? I call him Christmas legend because, of course, he always hosted Christmas in the Park. Iconic. And I was like, wow, Frankie's here on the plane. Man, what a plane. Was he the judge on? Was it X Factor?

Idol. New Zealand Idol. One of them. One of them, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he'd go, oh, yeah. He's so good. I love him. I was like, man, what a legend.

And he was on your plane. On this tiny little plane. Okay. And. I was like, man, what a legend. And he was on your plane. On this tiny little plane. Okay. And then I was like, holy moly. And then I turn around and I say, God, that's a tall bloody glass of water. It's bloody Irene van Dijk. The netball legend. And I was like, what a plane full of people.

Incredible. I mean, the other plebs, can I use that word? Flying from Palmerston North to Auckland just must have been beside themselves oh they must have been then I had a realisation that humbled me immediately

this is your dark thought this is my dark thought that I had if this plane was to go down yeah right this plane full of

New Zealand legends yeah excluding yourself well including me down. Yeah. Right? This plane full of New Zealand legends. Yeah. Excluding yourself. Well, including me, but I would be so far down the list of mentions in the publicity. Do you know what I mean? Wait, Hayley, it's not

publicity when a plane crashes. Publicity? What's it called? I don't know. Reporting. The reporting. Because i've had this conversation with friends when i've flown with them one of my friends sam brooks in particular he's a journalist he's great he's a playwright but he always laughs that when we're on a plane together he always goes mad if this plane goes down it's going to be new zealand comedian hayley sprout and friend perish in yeah flight yeah and i always say haha ha ha, yeah, you know it. And now I was like, oh my god, it would be like plane

carrying Kiwi legends. Dai Henwood. Frankie Stephens. Irene Van Dyke. And Dai Henwood. I reckon they'd lead with Irene Van Dyke because sports. Yeah, they'd lead. Sports mad. Yeah, they'd lead with Irene and then Dai Henwood.

And then surely the Frankie Corbyn port, they're sort of on this level. Then we got, you know, I'm I think I'd die in there. And then surely Frankie Corby and Port, they're sort of on this level. Yeah. Then we got, you know, I think I would be last amongst the record. I'd be the beloved comedian Josh Thompson. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And they're like, also perished. And TV regulars Ben Hurley and Justin Smith.

We're star of the Australian Office. Yes. Yeah. That's Josh. And then it would be like amongst the Australian office. Yes. Yeah. That's John. I mean, that's him. Yeah. And then it would be like, amongst the perished. I reckon if I had another one, there'd be like beloved Northland vet who specialised in Kiwi care,

who had been down in Palmerston North visiting Massey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's in there. And then unknown. Cherished Manawatu teacher. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a teacher. Yeah.

Then there's someone who is a criminal, a well-known gang associate and money launderer. Yes. Head honch of the mongrel mob. Then they go through the bad people that died in the plane crash. And then they found a Samsonite suitcase. Yeah. Good suitcases.

Yeah. Some suitcases were lost. Survived. The wreckage also contained the basket of Air New Zealand lollies. Of which all the orange ones were left behind. The basket itself miraculously unscathed. And then they'd talk about the heroics of the pilot, despite whatever happened to the plane.

Did his best. I'd just be amongst list of deceased. And then at the end, it would just do that thing where it just lists all the names. Lists the deceased. Yeah. And that's spelled your name wrong.

Yeah, H-A-L-E-Y-S-P-R-O-U-L-E. Yeah. I knew, I humbled me immediately. What a dark thought to have. What a stupid thought when you're thinking about dying in a horrible flight, in a horrible plane crash, the only thing I can think of is like,

oh, I'd be so down on the list when they printed it. Only because bloody Irene and Frankie and Di and the likes were on my flight. I know. So I just need to make sure. For the rest of the tour, I've booked separate flights from the rest of the comedians so that if my flight goes down, I'm the most prolific one on board and I get the headline.

It'll go back to cherished New Zealand comedian. This is just because we're in New Zealand and people are going to be ready to take you down at the knees for kind of putting yourself out there. It's called tall poppy syndrome. You should look it up. Don't suffer from it. Not a syndrome.

I've got polycystic ovarian syndrome but not not tall poppy you say this ingest do you remember flying back from one of the Lord of the Rings movies and it was like

all the media Paul Holmes legendary the beloved and late Paul Holmes was there John Campbell was there wow

there was a bit of tension between them I think maybe even Jeremy Wells was on that flight there was just tons of media and someone

who shall remain nameless with honest and earnest and said, I hope this plane doesn't go down. I won't even be on the top line. And I was just like, are you kidding me? Your biggest concern about the plane going down is going to be that you're not going to make people's list of people that died on that flight? Are you kidding me? It's such a funny way of thinking. is going to be that you're not going to make people's list of people that died on that flight.

Are you kidding me? It's such a funny way of thinking. The dude was in his late 20s, early 30s at the time and was not concerned about the life he won't get to live. I love it. Or his loved ones missing him. Bloody Paul. Wild. All they're going to talk about is Paul Holmes and John Campbell.

I wouldn't even make it. Clay, ZM, Splitchborn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's Scrabble Week here at Fact of the Day. Excellent. Now, this came because last week the New Zealander

who won the French Scrabble Championship multiple times also won the Spanish one. Amazing. He doesn't speak the language spends a few months

memorising the dictionary basically. He's got the photographic memory. How many points for puppy? I think P's got three. P8. If I was six that's eight points.

If I was him I'd move to casinos, start counting some cards. Yeah. Is it the same transferable skills? Well, this is photographic memory. You only need to do it once. Yeah, you only need to do it once with... On a big hand. On a big hand. But no, isn't counting cards, the way it works is

that you've got to sit through so many of the cards coming out? You couldn't do it on the first one. I don't know. By then you've got them. They'll drag you out of there. Is it Ben Affleck that's also, can he do that? Ben Affleck has been banned from multiple casinos for counting cards. Did you know that?

I didn't know that at all. It's quite a skill. Do you know I just... My sidebar? Please do. Your sidebar. Just listening to a podcast about sports gambling in America.

I don't know. Because it was one of those ones I listened to Revisionist History and because they'll be like, hey, we've got another podcast starting and here's a sampler. And it was a sampler about sports betting and how, you know, it was like illegal in America and everywhere apart from Vegas

to gamble on sports until like 2018. and that's why all of these other ones have come up since a guy cracked the system like absolutely cracked the system and was rolling in the cash and then these new ways of doing it via the apps came out and if you get on too hot a streak they'll just ban your account but it's just up to chance so if you're not on sports betting it's like you're betting on stats yeah it's like stats and teams and he doesn Not on sports betting It's like You're betting on skill Or stats Yeah yeah It's like stats and teams

And he doesn't bet on Like who's going to win He bets on certain things Happening at a certain time That's stupid to say Or you're too good at You're basically You're too good

You're banned Yeah Not like me Who The only time I ever bet on sports Is when I've got a good feeling About the Warriors I never bet on sports

Or you're at the races And you're like That horse has got a pretty name Oh my god My pop used to ring me And be like Pick a name And I'd just be like That's a pretty name And. Or you're at the races and you're like, that horse has got a pretty name. Oh my God, yeah, my pop used to ring me and be like, pick a name. And I'd just be like, that's a pretty name. And never won.

Never look at the stats. That's terrible gambling from pop. No, no, he picked his own, but he always let me pick a horse. Oh, he let you pick a horse. Yeah, no, he actually did stats and would win money. It's nice he was introducing you to gambling at such a young age.

I know. He's a good man. Well, let's scrabble a week if we can get back on track. End of sidebar. If we can get back on track. You took us off. I know I did. He's a good man. Well, it's Scrabble Week. If we can get back on track. End of sidebar. If we can get back on track. You took us off. I know I did. It's a very interesting,

I can't remember what it's called. If you're interested in that podcast, message it and I'll send you what it's called because I can't remember right now. We need to be too realistic and listen to our podcast. Well, I'm just saying

there's so many podcasts out there. I mean, people can't listen to ours on repeat. And they're all on iHeartRadio. KPI. Keeping a tally. So this is Scrabble Week. Yeah.

And I want to tell you about the inventor of Scrabble, Alfred Butts. Sorry. His name's Alfred Butts. Sure. B-U-T-T-S? B-U-T-T-S, yep. Alfred Mosher Butts.

Okay. I don't know if Mosher does add a little something to the name Alfred Butts. Mosher. There's Mosher in the Butts. Yeah. Is it? Give me a little Mosher Butts. Okay. I don't know if Moshe does add a little something to the name Alfred Butts. Moshe. There's Moshe in the Butts. Yeah. Is it? Give me a little Moshe Butts.

So he was an architect, but he had a bit of a love of games. He invented the first word game he invented was called Lexico from the Greek word of lexicon. Right. Meaning like lots of words. But the first one didn't have a board. It just had the cardboard tiles. Oh, yeah. Okay.

Of it. He was like, this could be, we're going to put a board involved and made the 15 by 15 game board that we know and called it crisscross words. Okay. Because they do the words crisscross in a game. They do crisscross. They do. But then later on added the word scores and stuff.

But how did the letters get their points? How is a Z and a Q worth 10? Well, he manually tabulated. Because they're in less words. Exactly. But how did he work out? Okay, so Z and Q, obvious. But what about the next ones down?

The ones with 8 and X? J? Is J worth? J. So how he did this was he collected the Saturday Evening Post, the New York Herald Tribune and the New York Times, as well as random pages of the dictionary. But if he's looking through the dictionary and he landed on D,

he wouldn't count any Ds that page. He'd count all the other letters on that page. He manually counted every letter and every word on the front page of these papers and kept a tally. Wow. For which ones came up the most often. Oh, okay. In use.

Because he felt that there was a lot of Q words, but they didn't come up as often. Yeah. In everyday use of speech. So people would be less familiar with the range of Q words. Plus you have to have a U really. Yeah. You know with other letters you don't have to have. In my research for

Scrabble Week, because I've got my Scrabble facts all sorted from Monday to Friday. Oh my god, put your feet up. I know that's the idea. It's the absolute opposite of how I've lived my entire life. Yeah, yeah, be prepared. I won't procrastinate on this. I actually found in this there's a list of acceptable words with Q

in it. QI. QI is the most played two-letter word in Scrabble tournaments. Yeah. What does that word? Q, it's the alternative spelling to like key. You're familiar with your key, like your body energy from like Chinese martial arts and Chinese philosophy and medicines.

I thought that was chi. No, said chi or ki, spelt three ways, C-H-I-K-I or Q-I, all acceptable spellings. All accepted, but of course Q-I is worth so much more. If you get the Q on a 10, on a triple letter, it's 10, and you get it on a triple, you're already at 30. You've got the I, it's great. You're going up. But here is a picture of his original,

I mean, this is just for in studio, really. That's a picture of his original tabulations. Down the side is every letter in the English alphabet. Very handwritten. And then across, he went for the different publications and how many times it showed up. Amazing. And that's why the letters are like they are.

Yeah. And what year was that? 19, well, this was before he did it. It was 1938 when he came up with the original game Lexico. And it didn't become Scrabble. He didn't really have much luck selling it. He got some other people on board

and it wasn't until just completely by happenstance, in 1952, Jack Strauss, the president of Macy's Department Store, played the game on vacation. A friend bought the game on vacation. He played it and he's like, I love this. I think people would really like this. Put it into Macy's and that's when Scrabble exploded. Wow.

Because of the exposure in a massive department store. Good fun. So today's fact of the day for Scrabble week is the points allocated in the English language to different letters in Scrabble are all due to what letters appeared the most on front page of newspapers. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. We want to talk about the moments Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- with great efforts, so I threw a ginormous tantrum and went to bed with no dinner. And then two days later I got my period and I was like,

ah, I see, I see, I see. So that can often be the cause of it. A woman shared on TikTok, keeping an eye on my boyfriend in Instagram, in Amsterdam, with world cams. And she's on those live live street cameras keeping an eye. And she sees him, finds him, knowing where he is, and is watching being like, who are you with?

She's obviously got like Find My or something. Yeah, that's a lot. So she knows he's in Amsterdam having a boys weekend and she is on their global, anyone can access, street cameras keeping an eye on him. Oh, no, no, no. That's crazy. That's crazy.

You're acting a little bit crazy. Like, just let him go. But sometimes the brain just betrays you and you start acting a little crazy. Now, last week when we talked about grotty partners, we heard messages about how grotty men are. I have a feeling we're going to get a lot of messages from women being like, it's me.

I was a little crazy. I'm a little crazy. And yeah. Whatever the reason was, we all do it. It's okay. We just have to admit it in ourselves and share it with New Zealand. When you caught yourself acting a little bit loco,

like this woman who was spying on her boyfriend while he's just having a very and I will give him his credit he's just walking down the street with his boys Yeah, it's all in your imagination. On his way to the red light district to do unspeakable things To do things that the good lord himself would turn

a blind eye to because he doesn't want to have to deal with it. Yeah, okay maybe there was a moment where you just caught yourself and you were like okay, this is a little crazy eye into it because he doesn't want to have to deal with it. Yeah. Okay, well, maybe there was a moment where you just caught yourself and you were like, okay, this is a little crazy. You've gone insane. I'm doing something that's a bit crazy. You took something too far or you absolutely lost control of your emotions. We're all guilty of it, but we want to hear about it.

0800 dials an Amazon number. You can text through 9696. When did you catch yourself acting just a little bit crazy? I really wonder if people are going to admit to this kind of stuff. Maybe they won't. You can be anonymous if you want if it was that crazy. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

A woman has caught herself in a moment of crazy. And look, she's admitted that. Yeah, look, her partner may have gone for a weekend in, why can I not say Amsterdam? A weekend in Amsterdam. A weekend in Amsterdam. With the boys. With the boys.

And so she followed him in his location and then used their like traffic cams and street cams to follow him and see him and track his every movement. I mean, it's a little crazy. Anonymous. Anonymous has joined us. Anonymous, when did you find yourself acting a little crazy? The last week, I had been listening to Sabrina Carpenter because my stepdaughter had come

over and she had really become a fan of Sabrina Carpenter. And I was like, oh, it'd be cool to start learning the song so we can sing along and stuff. But I kind of realised that everything that she listens to is because her mum listens to it too. And I was

listening to the lyrics of the song Taste because it came up. Yes, quite full on. And I was like, ooh, that's a lot. I developed a bit of an X for my partner after that, to be honest with you. Wait, you developed an X for your partner because his ex-partner had a playlist? Well, no, because have you heard the lyrics to the...

Yeah, oh, because it's about an ex, right? It's about getting back with someone. Yeah. Oh, wait, so your brain turned against your partner? Yeah, I mean, the lyrics just really put me off. Are we over that now? Or, you know, how long did this drag on for? Yeah, yeah.

Now he went away for a trip and came back, and I really missed it. Oh, it refreshed him. You needed a refresher. You needed to quick restart the relationship. Anonymous, thank you. Rachel, when did you catch yourself being a little crazy? I had just started seeing a guy and I really, really liked him.

And I knew that he was talking to somebody else and he wouldn't. He just kept saying he was at home by himself. So I drove out to his place, which was like 25 k's at a time, to prove that he was actually with this other woman. And was he there? He was with her little red car but jokes on them because he's now my husband and we

had three kids together. Was he with the other girl? Yes, but we weren't exclusive at the time and we hadn't discussed whether or not we were dating so he was kind of seeing other people and I was like no. Rachel's a bit crazy. But I tell you what, you've always got that weapon loaded on your hip

to throw in his face, don't you, if you're losing an argument? All the time. Yep, yep. All the time. I love that you were admitting that too, Rachel. Crazy pays off sometimes. He's like, ah, jeez, the dishes haven't been done. And Rachel's like, well, well, maybe she'd do the dishes

because you liked her so much when we weren't, you know, exclusive. With her stupid red car. With her stupid red car. Yes. Love that, Rachel. Thank you. Awesome messages in. My ex and I broke up because she was moving to London.

I found myself a couple of weeks later making a Hinge account and setting my location to her town to see if she was on dating apps yet. She was not and I had the realisation that this was psych ward behaviour and I needed to calm myself down. Calm down. Oh my god. There's some that I can't even read out because they're like dangerous. My ex-boyfriend broke up with me so I filled his chest freezer with the hose

that was full of meat and water and I just filled it with water from the hose and shut it and it just turned into a giant ice block. Wait, you caught yourself? Okay, yeah. By the way, there's no part of this text that says, I regret it or I realise

how crazy that is now. They just made a statement about them being crazy. No regrets. Took a hose to the chest freezer to freeze all of his meat in an ice block is so funny. How long's it going to take you to chip away just to get some mints out? I know. Chiselling at your mints.

Right at the bottom with a pickaxe. The mints is always at the bottom. Yeah, it's always at the bottom. Literally at the bottom. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. We want to know when you caught yourself being a little bit crazy. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of people acting crazy.

There's a real scale of crazy here. Yeah. And some of the craziest messages coming in, I don't feel are tinged with any regret. No, no, no. And some of the real low-end ones are like, man, I was a different person. I'm full of regret.

Yeah. I moved to Tikawiti for love. Craziest thing I've ever done. What was I thinking? Relationship didn't last. Surprise, surprise. Happily now an ex-Tikawiti resident. Yeah. relationship didn't last surprise surprise happily now an ex-Tikiwiti resident yeah um

there was the girl that my partner left me for another uh woman uh his flatmates

didn't know he hadn't told them yet so I cruised over and they were like oh yeah she's here all the time this is the dude's girlfriend acted all normal

I asked him how they were went into his room smashed all his sports trophies smashed them to pieces and then just walked out nonchalantly. Someone messaged anonymously, please don't call, years ago

when my baby mama and I split her phone was still on my Spark plan and when she went missing with her friends, I would call the phone, then call Spark and ask what cell tower it pinged off saying that we had just lost the phone. then call Spark and ask what cell tower it pinged off saying that we'd just lost the phone. Back together

now and we laugh about how crazy and calculated I was. So good. Ash, good morning. When did you catch yourself being a little crazy? Quite recently unfortunately. Okay. Tell us the story.

So my sister had a guy who cheated on her and i just started dating this really lovely guy um and i was dreaming that he was cheating on me so i was punching them in my sleep what so it was really happening like you were fighting him in your sleep. Yeah, and I just briefly hear him say, it's okay, it's only a dream, calm down, calm down, and that just made me more angry. Because you were half asleep, half awake. And a weird. Pretty much.

How long did this last for, sleep punching your boyfriend? About five minutes. Oh my jeez. Not too long. Not too long for five minutes. Two boxing rounds. Did you have a conversation with him in daylight in the morning?

Yeah, I was like, I don't know if we should be together because he cheated on me. In the light of day, you were still like, you cheated on me. Yeah, that, in the light of day, you're still like, you cheated on me. Yeah, it felt so real and I was sick of it. You can't be dream angry in real life. If you are listening to this being like,

man, I'm sane, I'm sound, but you've ever woken up angry at your partner because of something they did in your dream, then yes, you are crazy. And he even apologised. He even apologised? As he should. As he should.

The bastard, as he should. He did nothing wrong. I know. I know that now. Yeah. Okay, Ash, thank you for sharing. But you do know when you were awake. Yes.

Yeah. God bless that man and good luck to him. Thank you, Ash. Messages in. There's so many. My workmate found out that her partner good luck to him. Thank you, Ash. Messages in. There's so many. My workmate found out that her partner was cheating on her. They'd been together for many years and had a house together, so she put all his clothes and belongings into black rubbish bags for him to collect

and then poured a big thing of glitter into each one and shook it up. Oh, my God. Glitter is the devil's work. He messaged her a couple of days later saying, did you put glitter in all of these bags? And she said, what are you talking about? Leave me alone. Some light gaslighting, it's all right.

What about the going blonde one? Yeah, somebody said, when I kind of first hooked up with this guy, I found his ex-girlfriend on social media and saw that she was a blonde and I thought, he must love blondes. So I went straight to the hairdressers the next day and got my hair all blonde. He still cheated on me with that girl. Oh my God. He went back.

He went back to the- Must have been something other than the blonde then. Must have been. That's good. Imagine if you found that out. Yeah. That your girlfriend- No, no, no.

Someone that you had just started seeing- Yeah. Went blonde because they thought- They found your ex online- Yeah. And tried to replicate themselves as her. Yeah. My mate came out one night,

sanctioned, sanctioned boys night out. Yep. And his missus went onto his online banking account and saw what club he was at and turned up. Oh my God. So they get cash out now for the boys' nights, don't they? Yeah.

Cash out at the supermarket. Someone said, I feel Hayley's pain. I had a breakdown and cried over a roast pork. Yeah, but when it's not, when you've, do you know what it is? It's when you've spent a long time on a meal and it doesn't come out right. I will hit the roof. If you've dried the pork, but it never crackled. Yeah.

That's a double loss. I can see why you're upset. I've put the paper towels on and I've salted the crust. I would also cry. I've dried the pork but it never crackled, that's a double loss. I can see why you're upset. I've put the paper towels on and I've salted the crust. I would also cry. I've scored the crust and it's still just flabby fatty. And then Aaron will be like, I'll still eat it. I'll be like, nah, put it in the bin. It's not even worthy.

Not even worthy of it. Don't even worry about it. It hasn't happened. It hasn't happened. There's no pork. Hayley, look at me. There's no pork. Hayley, look at me. There's no pork. Hayley. I scored it. Hayley, there's no pork. It's a hypothetical situation.

I let it sweat. I got the paper towels. I put it on and I put it in the thing. I'm not eating. Look at me. And Aaron didn't help at all. He's in trouble. I'm leaving him.

There's no pork. There's no pork. There's no relationship. Oh, I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast. I'll tell you. It's no relationship. 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 wheeze.
