Hey, the morning listener, let's get ready for a rubber show. I was driving home yesterday about 3.45-ish in the PM, heading out west.

Yeah. And the traffic was already chocker, and I reckon it's people who are leaving work early and adding the Friday. Oh, and just going and making it a mega. You know what I mean? And making it a mega, mega long. Good on you, mate.

Yeah, good start. Must be nice. We're here. We didn't do that. No, this is all pre-recorded. Don't say that. Don't say that, Vaughan. We're live.

It's all pre-recorded. A lot of shows do record breaks, don't they? Well, not us. No, we're always live. No, we wouldn't prove it. I'll prove that we're live. How can we prove that we're live? Oh, I don't they? Not us. No, we're always live. No, we wouldn't prove it. I'll prove that we're live. How can we prove that we're live? Oh, I don't know.

How do we prove we're live? We can't. Why don't you do it and say that because you can pre-record that. Say the time. I'll say the time. August is here because it's Teachers Only Day.

My daughter August is here. She's like, tell them the time because then they'll know it's live. Great. No, but you can pre-record the time. Not to this sort of precise. But you can drag it. 603 now.

Bang on. Yes, you were right. Look, I saw that. That's internet clock. Not to this sort of precise. But you can drag it. 603 now. Bang on. Yes, you were right. Look, I saw that. That's internet clock. That's internet clock. Yeah, boom. It's dictated by the moon or something like that. Yeah, a pre-recorded show couldn't do that.

No, they couldn't. Also, a pre-recorded show wouldn't leave in all this waffle. No, it wouldn't. We'd cut this. We'd cut this. Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. On the way, the top six. Vaughan, Christmas, Eminent.

Two months today. Is it? Oh, my God. My interest rates have gone back to floating. I need to just pop onto my app and lock in a new fixed rate.

You can sort out your life admin later. Oh, God. Christmas, two months away. Christmas movies is the topic today. Well, so there's a new Netflix movie where Lacey Chabert, who you might know from the early seasons of Family Guy, being the voice of Meg before Mila Kunis took over. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, that's right. That was brutal. Did she think that didn't have legs? No, she wanted out. Oh, did she? Because it was a bit raunchy. Yeah, she literally thought it was BS. She was like, this sucks.

Yeah, I want out. Now look at it. It's still going. Yeah. Party of Five. Mean sucks. Yeah, I went out. Now I'm looking at it. It's still going. Yeah. Party of five. Mean girls. Other stuff. Yep.

She is going to be in a Christmas movie this year where she falls in love with a ripped snowman. Yeah. A jacked snowman. I watched the trailer yesterday. As did Carwin, and we've both collectively decided we're definitely watching this. They're going to watch it. Wait, wait. Okay, this is hot, is it? A ripped snowman? Yeah, definitely watching it wait it's okay this is hot

is it so yeah rip snowman yeah yeah like it's like she's walking around i think it's like new york at winter it looks like right and sees a bunch of snow people okay because you can't say snowman one of which is distinctly a man and he's jacked he's got abs and stuff yeah just alive does he have i noticed that you said snow people. I actually don't see snow. You don't see gender? I don't see colour. Gender or snow. Snow, ice, I don't care.

I wouldn't even say ice. I wouldn't even say that. Because I don't see states of water. Okay. Well, the top six in here. The top six is dealing with... As long as we worship the same God me we're all the same in here the top six as long as we you know worship the same God

let's keep this movie so long it sounds like a lot of waffle it sounds like the most insane chat GPT idea for a Christmas movie

right woman falls in love with muscular snowman yes so I'm going to consult our good friend friend of the show chat GPT

to come up with the weirdest ideas for a Christmas movie possible. Flawless. Flawless top six on the way. I love this. Silly little poll results in just a couple of minutes.

Bare feet in stores when you go inside. Is that okay in summer? I voted controversially. I mean, I've done it. I've gone to the supermarket in bare feet. Yeah, me too. All the time. Yeah.

It's like a Kiwi thing too. Oh, the dairy in bare feet when you're at the beach. 100. Every time. I think the results. Takeaways, fish All the time. Yeah. It's like a Kiwi thing to me. Oh, the dairy and beer feed when you're at the beach. 100. Every time. I think the results. Takeaways, fish and chip shops. Yeah. Surf shops.

Yeah. The results might surprise you. Yeah. Next on the show, though, we're going to do some Tim Tam trigonometry. Trigonometry? Well, I just wanted a maths word that started with T, you see. Yeah, it's not trigonometry. No, I know it's definitely not.

ZM. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. We're talking about two people here with suffering mortgages. Suffering mortgages. I just opened up mine to see when mine is up. Crip wing. Fletch is like, come on, we're talking about chocolate biscuits. Have you got your story about chocolate biscuits?

Yeah, we're talking about the important... And I'm like, I couldn't give a goddamn about chocolate biscuits. I'm drowning here. We are talking about the important... And I'm like, I couldn't give a goddamn about chocolate biscuits. I'm drowning here. We are talking about the important issues. I just refixed part of my mortgage online like that. Now, I thought I was going to be in for a little bit less per fortnight. Yeah. But two years ago when I locked it in,

pretty much exactly the same as what I've just locked it in now, even though there's been some drops. Well, that's okay. It's better than nothing. Are you doing it online? Don't you get a better experience in person? Make them a nice little slab of chocolate brownie or something and get a bottle of wine

and be like, what can you do for me, mate? A little bit of that. Yeah, come on, mate. What can you do for me? It's a bank. We like to take our guy out to lunch. I had a guy who wasn't getting me any better. Right, chocolate biscuits

because Fletch is telling us that our depressing financial situation is not making everybody listening happy. I didn't say that on air, but my look said that, but I didn't say that on air. Australians are- It's depressing him more than anything. He's like, I don't want to hear it. It's your problem.

Australians are up in arms as Tim Tams. It's Tim Tam. What? No, it's not. It is. Tim Tam. What? No, it's not. It is Tim Tam. There's multiple biscuits in the packet. There's multiple sheeps in the field. Tim Tam.

Yeah, and I say sheeps. They came out years ago and clarified that the plural of Tim Tam is Tim Tam. I won't believe a woman. I need a man to tell me something. There are two women in the studio now. You brought your daughter in August. Oh, she can do no wrong. What is the plural of Tim Tam?

The plural of Tim Tam, singular, not plural, never. It can stop at one. It's Tim Tam. Multiple Tim Tams. I mean, the packet says Tim Tam on it. Yeah. Now, Australians... Tim Tam is a plural noun.

Thank you. There have been a couple of stories in the Australian... Would you like some Tim Tam is how you... No, it's... Yes! I won't say that. If you're going to offer them more than one biscuit, you in the Australian. Would you like some Tim Tam is how you, like. No, it's. Yes. I won't say that. If you're going to offer them more than one biscuit, you don't say, would you like some Tim Tams?

Believe women. Okay. Hashtag believe women. Now, this has changed my vote. I'm voting for Marla Harris. I'm glad that was a change for you. There have been a couple of news stories in Australia in the last month about the price of Tim Tams in Australia.

And I've just looked at how Tim Tam prices. In Australia, they've been getting to $6. Well, they've been saying half price, $3. And Australians are like, I've never paid $6 for a Tim Tam, so how can half of six be three? Because it's a half price special. Six bucks? I just literally looked, Woolworths.com.au

It's Woolworth. It's actually Woolweath. It's actually more than one Woolworth. It's Woolweath. Yeah. I just went on woolweath.com.au Six buck a row. There's actually no S

in the Maori or Australian language. Our Tim Tams are on the Woolworth website. Sorry, $5.49. So they're not on special because you can't get them on special. So what's the current Australian exchange rate? And then how many would we have to send to Australia before we start turning a profit? But there was also a story in Australia like three or four weeks ago, retailers in the UK

had Tim Tam on special for cheaper than what you could buy them in Australia on special. Yeah. And people were just like... They are an Australian biscuit. Yeah, they're like an Australian... I mean, we love them here, but they're the Australian biscuit. Bicky of choice. Yeah. And you don't mess with the

Tim Tam. It is pretty much like us and like lamb. Yeah. I saw something they were selling whole New Zealand lamb in Costco in the States. You could buy them for like a spit. And I was just like, where's

ours? How good would that be? Chucking a lamb on the spit this weekend. When my parents who spent half their year in Italy, darling. Yes, darling. Chasing summer, darling. They always order a leg of lamb for Matariki because they throw a little party and they get it super cheap over there, but it comes

from New Zealand and it just arrives frozen. I think they get it from like Costco or like eBay or something like that. Yeah, but like some of the wines if you're in America, you see New Zealand wines that over here would be like $26 a bottle. And there, they're like budget, like almost budget price wine. And you're just like, what?

Is it because they can flood the markets? I think so, yeah. Now, I'm not a big Tim Tam eater. I don't... Oh, I like the white ones. I'd never say no to a Tim Tam if it popped up. I don't think, I literally think I've never bought a packet of Tim Tam. Zuh. No. Tim Tam, zuh. Tim Tam is a to a Tim Tam if it popped up. I literally think I've never bought a packet of Tim Tam. Zuh.

No. Tim Tam Zuh. Tim Tam is the plural of Tim Tam. What is the plural of chit chat? The budget Tim Tam. Chit chats. Chit chats. Chit chats.

Not chit shoot? No, not chit chot. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little po. Silly little po. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Today's silly little pole.

Barefoot in the supermarché. Oh, no, no, not necessarily the supermarché. Just in stores. It comes out pretty dirty after the supermarket. Yeah, it's so dirty. And they clean those floors pretty often. Yeah, there's nothing you can do about it. There's all the wheels and stuff going up and down. All just insane amounts of foot traffic.

Yeah. It's all there. So we asked if you go barefoot in stores. Yep. I'm just waiting on the results. I don't think they've been sent through. Have they been sent through?

Have I missed them? Oh, Carwin. Shannon's still got... Carwin is doing like eight people's jobs today. Yeah, we'll forgive her. Shannon's got the vid. And then when you look at Instagram on your computer and you click on it, it won't let you vote on the thing. So that's fine.

Let me pull it up on my phone. This is okay. I'll rock a barefoot. I'll put my own personal spit on this. Thank you for some padding there, Hayley. I'll rock a barefoot. Aaron is exclusively barefoot in the summer. Well, 83% of people aren't Aaron because they said no.

Going barefoot in a sports store is no. I honestly thought this would have been more it's a New Zealand sort of yeah more for the barefoot right 17% of people said

yes barefoot in stores did a celebrity do this what happened to this country of ours did a celebrity do this is this why we're talking about this

I feel like somebody went barefoot oh and the dude Jacob Elorde yes in Australia yeah Elorde Australians and Ki In Australia. Yeah.

Elorde. Elorde. Australians and Kiwis are bad at this. Australians, not as much because of how hot it gets. And the ground gets very, very hot. And the beach gets very, very hot. True that. And it gets very, very hot.

And there's snakes. Yeah. And there's snakes in the spot. When he did it, though, Americans were like, ooh, what is this behaviour? And Kiwi and Australians were like ooh what is this behaviour and Kiwi and Australians were like pretty normal so I remember going into a supermarket overseas

that was on you know by the beach and I went in bare feet and the looks I got were like disgusting Hawaii

and what's that main part of Hawaii Waikiki yep we needed something so I was like I'll get it and I ran to the shop

and I just went barefoot and I walked in and they were just like literally across the road from the beach you do look homeless though it's the beard it's the beard it's the beard and the dirt and the in the bottle you've got the paper bag and it was a cigarette to go get another bottle for the paper bag there was a cigarette in your beard yeah yeah it wasn't my cigarette you were rummaging in the bin outside looking for more cigarettes you know stay on a budget when you're on holiday.

Yeah. Angela said, I 100% cannot get on board with this. I just think it looks so bogan, dero, nasty, grubby as hell, not at all safe. Dero. Dero, I love that word. Dero. No, says Joe, but my husband is from the heart. So he does.

Hayley, you're also from the heart. I am from the heart. Fancy heart, but heart all the same. In Eastbourne, you never wore shoes because you sort of beached to the village, to the bush. To the house also from the heart. I am from the heart. Fancy heart, but heart all the same. In Eastbourne, you never wore shoes because you sort of beached to the village, to the bush. To the house. To the house. The bush and bare feet's a world.

I can't imagine Patsy would let you just walk in on the carpet after you've been in your bare feet. Surely she'd make you... No, we'll be all right. We were probably renovating, so it was probably a mess anyway. I'm embarrassed to go with him when he does, said Jo. Janelle, get over yourselves, you shoe elites. Good to see a bit of down-home humble there.

Tanya says, not in stores, but other places I'm fine. My husband's always barefoot in summer. It's terrible. Got told off at the mall once because he forgot to put his shoes on when we left the house. Who told him off at the mall? The mall? They've got a...

They've got a dress code. They've got a shoe place. They've got a lot of escalators, and people bare feet and escalators don't work, but then also jandals and escalators aren't best friends. Oh, my God, no. Renee said, what is it to other people if I go barefoot?

My problem if I get hurt, et cetera? They've got to learn to live a little. Yeah, that's true. That's true. True dat. I'll hit that with a true dat. True dat. True dat.

True dat. True dat. Do we need the true dat bell? No, I think the bell's got enough purpose, isn't it? It's getting confusing. I was going to order a horn, wasn't I? What was that for? A wooga horn and a ooga horn.

Oh, yeah. Can't remember. I don't know. If it's near the beach. This feels like a next year problem. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, it does. Yeah.

I'll deal with it after Christmas. 100%. If it's near the beach, said Michelle. Otherwise, at least jandals. It's like the togs, to togs togs undies ad. If no beach is in sight you probably need to wear footwear.

Yeah. No one should have to witness another person with their dogs out says Mira. I did and I'm still traumatised. She's not into feet pics. Gross feet.

Yeah. Is there any better feeling than the cold supermarket floor near the fridges and something. Oh yeah. That's good stuff, says Rhys. It's like the liquor chiller.

Oh, yeah. At the liquor store. Do you mind if I hang out in here for a little bit? Really take your time choosing a box. Oh, yeah. In moderation. You already know, just one can. I just go in for one can. That's a little bomb. Well, somebody travelling in Istanbul

Oh, one of my favourite places I've ever been Turkey Turkey In Turkey We're saying Turkey, right? Turkey But some people don't know that it's gone to Turkey It's from Turkey

No, it's Turkey They changed it T-U-R-K-I-Y-E Are they still gobble, gobble, gobble, gobbling up dry land? They absolutely are, Vaughan. They are. They are. Still wild that you paint the entire country as having dry lamb.

Yeah. Just saying. I thought, remember recently, I thought I had a moist Turkish lamb experience. And then the Lebanese were like, I think you'll find that it was us. It was Lebanon. And I was like, Lebanon, welcome. Well, somebody at Istanbul airport jumped on Uber to get a ride to their home or their hotel

and they posted the screenshot on X and it is asking, Uber is asking before the ride for a tip for a faster pickup. Well, I haven't decided how well you've done. It said a driver may be more likely to accept this ride if you add a tip. Oh, get out. The driver receives 100% of the tip.

If you add a tip now, you can't change it later. No, because then they're going to pick me up and drive like a madman. Yeah. And then I'm going to be like, I don't want a tip here. And be like, hey, this lamb. And I'll be like, oh my, dusty.

It's taking it back to like taxis who could refuse you. Yeah. Back in the day. And that's like illegal in New like taxis who could refuse you. Yeah. Back in the day. And that's like illegal in New Zealand. You can't refuse somebody a ride. So now there are going to be, if this becomes a thing, because I haven't seen it in New Zealand. No.

But if this becomes a thing, drivers are only going to pick up those that tip. So people that can't afford to tip. No. Are going to be left like waiting. You're already charging me. I'll tip you if you do something really great or if we have a good yarn or

if you're really helpful or if you don't put the bloody aircon on 27 when I've specified cool no conversation. Wow. I never specify any of those. Do you remember the Uber that we took

from Wellington Airport into town? I'll never forget it. I've never been so close to... You were in the front seat? Straight vomiting. From heat alone. Oh my god. It was... No, it wasn't summer but it did not need to be... It was like 30 and then we're in

our private group chat being like, holy hell. But we're too nice to be like, oh, can you just turn that down? Yeah, so we're like, Vaughan, you do it, you do it, you do it, you do it, you do it, you do it. Hey, mate, are we not that delicate? I can feel you going like, come on,

just be cool about it. It was so hot. It was way too hot. It's way too hot. No wonder the Lamb's dry I was very dry By the end of that trip I don't even know If he was Turkish

Everything dry I don't even know If the dry was Turkish I don't think he was Turkish But if there was lamb in there It would be dried out Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah This is the Top 6. Christmas is two months away. Yeah, 25th of October today. It's imminent. Lacey Chabert's

new Netflix holiday movie called Hot Frosty. A hunky snowman comes to life as a human hunky man. Not made of snow anymore. And it's a love story. Now that's trash.

I'll say that's trash. You know what? You say that, but Hayley wants to watch it. I'll watch it. I love trash. Mind-numbing trash every now and then soothes the soul. I'm just Googling how old Lacey Chabert and I are the same age. Oh, really?

Keeping it tight. Both of you. Huh? August is in the studio this morning. That's Gretchen of Mingles. Yeah, it is. Gretchen Wieners. How do you know that?

How do you know a 10-year-old know a Mingles? Can you please watch what she's viewing online? It's an adult's movie, Bourne. No, it's like a teen's movie. Oh, my Lord. Stop trying to make Fetch work, Gretchen. An adult's movie born. No, it's like a teen's movie. Oh my lord. Stop trying to make Fatch work, Gretchen. So she falls in love with a snowman.

Now this is ridiculous. This has got ChatGPT written all over it. I've said to ChatBT, ChatBT, GPT, guys. Can you please? I'm up to six premises slash basic storylines of weird cheesy Netflix style Christmas movies starring 90s teen heartthrobs.

Love this. Perfect. Here we go. Number six on the list, sledding into love. When competitive ice sculptor, played by Jonathan Taylor Thomas, is forced to team up with a quirky local who believes in Christmas magic,

they discover a hidden sledding course that grants wishes. As they carve out their dreams, they end up carving out a love story amidst hilarious snowball fights and holiday mishaps. Love that. Fantastic. Fantastic, right? Sledding into love. Beautiful.

Perfection. No notes. Number five on the list of the top six Christmas movies starring 90s teen heartthrobs. Christmas in Time. A high-powered executive played by Rachel Leigh Cook. Remember her? She's all that? No.

You recognise her? Oh, would I? Hang on. She might have done some more stuff recently, but nothing like. She was in the 90s. You recognise her, but also just you won't. Yeah. Gets magically transported to her small hometown

during a Christmas from her past. She must team up with her teenage crush, now a local handyman, to save the town's holiday festival from being cancelled all while rekindling their lost romance. You can actually see that movie being made. 100% perfect. Christmas in time.

Love it. No notes. Number four on the list of the top six cheesy Christmas movie premises made by ChatGPT starring a 90s heartthrob. Reindeer Games. A jaded former teen heartthrob, now Christmas tree farmer, played by Devin Sawyer. Oh, I was so happy Devin Sawyer made the list.

It was when Casper came to life. An awakening of sorts. An awakening. An awakening of sorts. Jadotine Heartthrob, a now Christmas tree farmer played by Devon Sawyer, is cursed to wear a reindeer costume

every holiday season. When a spunky city girl comes to town to document quirky traditions, she stumbles upon his secret and helps him break the curse. Romance blossoms under the twinkling lights of the festival. He's in a reindeer costume. It's so embarrassing.

It's so embarrassing. How embarrassing but cute. Number three on the list of the top six cheesy Christmas movies featuring 90s heartthrobs made up by ChatGPD. Snowed In With My Ex. That's perfect. I'm watching already. Two high school sweethearts.

One played by Danielle Fisher who is Topanga on Boy Meets World. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah. Are these just all of your 90s crushes? Kind of. A forced to share a cabin during a snowstorm after their paths unexpectedly cross

at a holiday retreat. As they confront unresolved feelings in a series of comical challenges, they rediscover their love amidst the holiday spirit. Oh my god. It's wild, eh? Yeah. I mean, it's not as good as falling in love with a ripped snowman.

Yeah, it's not quite. Number two, the Christmas surprise. Written by Chach EPT. This premise does not yet exist. A cynical journalist, played by Julia White, a.k.a. Steve Urkel, is sent to cover a Christmas charity event when he mistakenly ends up with a magical ornament

that grants holiday wishes. He inadvertently transforms the event into a festival spectacular, rekindling the romance with his high school sweetheart, now a spirited organiser. Oh, wow. How good. And number one on the list of the top six holiday-style movies

made up by Chachi Petty starring a 90s heartthrob, Holly Jolly Werewolf. Holly Jolly Werewolf. Uh-huh. Flawless. A lovable werewolf portrayed by that guy that went out with the oldest daughter on Full House, who was also the voice of Aladdin. Yeah.

Yeah. Great. Tries to win back his high school crush during the holidays while managing his furry transformations. With the help of his quirky friends, he navigates holiday chaos and learns the true meaning of love, all while dodging a local monster hunting group. Oh, my God. Okay. And Netflix is sorted for the next however many Christmases with those ideas.

Someone's just sitting there with a pen and paper being like, this is great. It's happening. This is fantastic. Can you copy and paste me that? What if I got an executive producer's? Whatever, there's a bit of money in it for you. Yeah, sure. Get it done, get it done.

That's today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Now retailers have had enough and I am guilty of indulging and watching these videos because TikTokers do these huge hauls. August, I don't know if you've seen these.

She's seen them. We have a young person in studio today. It's good to reference things. We've got Gen Zs. We've got Gen Alpha. We've got Millennials. We've got Xennials. Wow. Boomers.

Boomers. Boomer? Yeah. A boomer? So they go on TikTok and they do these huge try-on hauls of clothing. And they'll go and they'll buy like everything, like 20 dresses and they'll try them they'll buy like everything like 20 dresses and they'll try them all on and then

why are you laughing at me August? Because you're the old person. No I'm not. I'm cool and young and I watch these too thank you because I'm also a Gen Z. And they try them all on and they show they make these videos but retailers are sick of it because then they just return all the stuff.

They'll keep like one thing maybe, but they just return it all. And it's billions of dollars worth of return. Wait, so when you say they're not trying it on in store. No, they're trying them at home. So they'll probably make big online orders mostly. Yeah, right. And they'll go and they'll be like, here's my order. And there's like huge, huge bags of stuff.

And they try them all on. They're like, this is cute. This is cute. Called hashtag keep or return. Do they return them and they try them all on they're like this is cute this is cute called hashtag keep or return do they return them and they just go in the bin though oh

probably some retailers probably some retailers because also I'm imagining if they're cheap they're getting shipped internationally from China

or Bangladesh or something so then you've got to think about the carbon dioxide offset but as well it's bad for the environment.

I don't think they're thinking of that, though. Online returns are forecast to... It's their bloody world, mate. It is. Online returns are forecast to exceed $58 billion this year alone. So that's the amount of money that you are, like, giving to a company and then asking for it back,

basically. And they're called serial returners. Carwen, are you a serial returner? No, I am the opposite. And maybe this makes me not Gen Z, but I just like, I hate returning stuff. Like if I order something online, it doesn't fit or I don't like it, I'll just like chuck it on Facebook Marketplace.

Oh, yuck, that's way worse. I can't be bothered. I just put it in the clothing bin. The charity bin. My bad. Yeah, or donate it, honestly. How long's the sleeve in centimetres from the shoulder to the end of the sleeve?

On the outside, but then what is it from the armpit to the underside? And then you answer like their 10 questions and then they don't even buy it. I can tell you how long my middle finger is. I'm holding it up right now. I know, I can't be bothered with that stuff either. I don't usually return things.

I don't buy a lot online. Yeah, Hayley prefers to go into a retailer, try it on and buy it online so she knows it fits. Shut up. That's what he said before. I shop in store because you know I like a face-to-face experience. Yeah, you do. Any opportunity to talk to people, I'll go for it.

You literally said, I go in store, try it on, and then I'll go and buy it online to see if I can get it cheaper. Don't say that. I didn't say that. You just tried to pin it on me. I wasn't going to bring it up that you had said it, but then you pinned it on her, and that was a bit mean. Yeah.

Thank you for that. That was really nasty. She's the most traditional shopper the show's got. Not me. You are traditional. I go trad. Yeah. I go trad. Yeah. I go trad, man.

I like to park my car. I like to pay for my parking. I like to get out, handbag over my shoulder. I like to wander around. I like to go into a store. Hi, dear. Hi, how are you? Anything I can help you with?

I'm just going to have a little look, thanks. Or let me know if you need anything. Yeah. Any other sizes? Yeah, I might go. Can you grab me the medium in this? Medium? Shut up.

Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. I don't know why this has been marked a comeback because to me the jacket potato never left. But how often would you make a jacket potato? Not very often. I don't think I've had one for like years. I don't even know if I've ever

really had one. Baked potatoes stuffed with sour cream and cheese and bacon and yum. There's gotta be cheese in it. There's gotta be cheese. I've talked fondly about this in days gone by and I'd like to revisit now the Hamilton Garden Place baked potato

stand. Is it still there? There's always money in the potato stand. There's always money. So I don't know if it was still there. There's always money in the potato stand. There's always money. Yep. So, I don't know if it was still there. It was this real cutesy looking Scandi Swiss themed Oh, okay. Little caravan

and I'm imagining they just must have baked the potatoes and kept them warm and then you would order what kind of potato you wanted. What is the origin of the baked potato? The UK? Or Europe? I would have said the UK, but this definitely potato you wanted. What is the origin of the baked potato? The UK or Europe? The UK, but this definitely wasn't UK. This is a news story out of the UK. The jacket potato, the baked potato,

is returning to people's lunch boxes. Overtaking sushi and other store-bought favourites. Sushi's gone to lunch. Yeah. Sushi is a go-to, isn't it? It's so easy. Cheap, easy. But, Sade, my wife-to. It's so easy. Cheap, easy. But shut up.

My wife's been watching these guys on Instagram or TikTok. Yeah. And it's these guys and he wears a camera on his head as he works in the baked potato place and makes the baked potatoes. And they go hard. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And at the end of the day, they give it to them for free.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got to get rid of the potatoes. Yeah, it's a lot of effort for your lunch though. Like how long does it take to bake and then you've got to get all the fillings. They take ages. I suppose if you just like did like five potatoes, wrapped them up in tin foil. Like on a Sunday.

On a Sunday and then you had them ready to go. Do you know I was just saying, so when I go to Melbourne to do Have You Been Paying Attention Australia, because New Zealand 1's cancelled. What? It's the only. Is it? I was on that.

Why are they going to tell me? This is the only TV show you're still allowed on. And it's not even in this country. Yeah. Where I stay, just opposite, is a place called Spud Bar in Melbourne. This is their menu. Spud Bar?

Spud Bar. And it's exclusively baked potatoes. And you go in, there's the burger, which has a burger, burger beef, tasty cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, tomato, red onion. Inside, so it's stuffed inside. There's a meat lovers, baked potato baked with beef bolognese, bacon, shredded cabbage,

mushrooms, tasty cheese, light sour cream, and spring onions. There's the chicken parma. There's a butter chicken baked potato. So that's what I'm looking at here. The UK's top 10 jacket potato fillings. Yeah. Bolognese, chicken curry.

Yeah, the guy who does it does a curry one. It's chicken curry. So you could just be putting your leftovers inside the baked potato. Totally. It's a vessel. Getting a bit more out of it. Yeah, it's basically like taking an edible container to work in tin foil. Guys, can I?

Chili corn corn. I know that because you love to socialise, Paul. And Fletch, you'll be dragged out. We should do a night where we have... Jacket potatoes. Jacket potatoes. We bake the potatoes. They arrive.

They're just plain. And we all bring the thing that goes in them. The United Nations of jacket potatoes. So you might bring a butter chicken. You could get a takeaway. You could call it a po-luck dinner. A po-luck. A po-luck.

A potato-luck dinner. I'd be more keen to A po-luck. A potato-luck dinner. I'd be more keen to do kumara. I like a sweet potato. Sure, you could do that. Yeah. They're just a bit knobbly and long. Very hard to stuff it. Knobbly.

You've got to get a nice long fatty. You've got to get a fatty. Yeah. So people are taking these to work, and it is like raising a few eyebrows because it's like- Weird lunch. It's weird, right? Yeah.

Sandwich is normal. It's not a sandwich. It's not a salad. It's not a sushi. It's not a sandwich or a salad. It's not leftovers in a container. It's just lunch. It's weird, right? Yeah. Sandwich is normal. It's not a sandwich. It's not a salad. It's not a sushi. It's not a sandwich or a salad. It's not leftovers in a container. It's just a little odd. Yeah, it is.

And we thought we'd talk this morning about the odd things that you see your co-workers eating for lunch or that you take. Yeah. Because Georgia Burt will always bring a hard boiled egg. Straight up boiled eggs. She'll just bring a couple of them. That's all she has in a container. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Last week I had two because I always eat something on-boiled egg. Straight up boiled eggs. She'll just bring a couple of them. That's all she has in a container. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Last week I had two, because I always eat something on the way to work. Usually it's an apple, but there was no apples. And I noticed this the night before. I was like, I'm going to boil two hard-boiled eggs. And I ate cold hard-boiled eggs on the way to work. Yeah. Disgusting.

Good pro. It's so young. No, like at least deviled or something. I think you've got to devil them. But anyway. Who's got the time? Okay, well, this is what we want to ask this morning. 0800 DALS at MSC phone number.

Give us a call. You can text in 9696. The weird things in your lunchbox. Or that your co... Yeah, dob people in. Dob your co-workers in. Like, what do they eat for lunch? Maybe it's just like a pack of lollies or something.

Karen's just messaged in saying, Vaughan, I used to get a baked potato from that trolley every Friday night when I worked at Glassons and seen it place. Oh. Beautiful.

But apparently no longer there. Late night at Glassons? Yep. Hang up all the three quarter pants. Your capris. Make sure the capris are all in size order and then go

and get a potato. Somebody said, my netball high school coach used to own that potato stand. At the end of season netball parties at her house, it was make your own potatoes. The girls would have had energy because of the carbohydrates and the humble spice.

We just need to make sure that not all the messages are potato based. We're open to all sorts of weird things. I happily talk about potatoes for the rest of the show. Weird things that you've seen in lunchboxes. Give us a call. What's in your lunchbox? Or your co-worker's lunchbox? And you're like, oh, it's either of them.

The weird things in your lunchbox. We don't want to know that you've got a muesli bar for them. Somebody messaged in a very good question. These potatoes that people are taking to work, are they taking them hot, wrapped in tinfoil, or do you think they're warming them up when they get there? They're warming them up. I think they've been baked, for sure, right?

Yeah, and then it's a microwave. And then you take it out of the tinfoil. Yes. Put it in the microwave and then you'd have a separate container with your fillings. Yeah. Okay. Do you reckon? Or do you reckon they're just trying to microwave? You'd have to fork it before you microwaved it. Yeah. Or it explodes. Yeah.

That's just a little potato tip from me. Thank you for that potato tip. Thank you, Potato Man. So the weird things are either in your co-workers or your lunchbox. A guy at my work brings cans of baked beans and toast every day. Yum. Every day. That's good. That's okay.

So he'll toast the toast in the work toaster. Yeah. And then just microwave the beans. I'm assuming he's warming up the beans. Somebody else works with someone who doesn't warm up the beans. They just eat the... Oh, no, spaghetti. Sorry, they eat the cold spaghetti straight out the tin.

My bestie, her whole entire life has ate baked beans out of the tin. See, you can do cold baked beans, but not cold spaghetti. Why is it different, hey? But it is. It is. Ew. I don't know. Skitty? No. Baked beans? Cold? Fine. I mean, I just start a fire at work and put the tin

in the embers to warm it up, you know what I mean? We could light a small fire in the corner put the tin in the embers to warm it up you know what I mean we could light a small fire in the corner of the studio and like my co-worker brings her chopped carrots and salads in old Jimbo's

pet food containers I know but they're a good container they're a great container for screws and nails for screws and nails and odds and ends I mean it is just

buttons etc it is just you've washed it and you've washed it they are great containers it does seem a waste to not use them again yeah maybe take the sticker off I mean it is just meat It is just meat You've washed it And you've washed it And you've washed it Great containers It does seem a waste To not use them again Yeah

Maybe take the sticker off But then if you've ever Bought Jimbo's You know what Jimbo's looks like You'll definitely know It's a Jimbo's But that's not enough salad That's not enough salad

It's okay It might be a compacted salad You'd really have to Jam your salad in To get it going My workmates Have bread rolls and a whole banana inside. What? Oh, like hollow the bread roll and just grab a banana in.

Oh, it's kind of like a hot dog. You're going to need some honey. Like a hot dog. You're going to need some honey and some cinnamon and some butter in that bad boy. Teresa, this is your husband's co-worker. Yeah, he's Tongan, so that probably makes the story make a little bit more sense. Okay. Malo, exactly.

Malo. But it was a bit of a shared lunch, and he stopped in at the shops in Odaho and bought a whole lot of stuff, including a little bit of horse. Shared it at the shared lunch, and everyone's coming in, so they'll be like, oh, this is so good. What is it? Is it beef? Is it lamb?

Yeah, amazing. And he was like, oh no, it's horse and everyone just stopped. But you know, you can't be disrespectful so everyone's like, oh, oh,

okay, thanks. Do you know, Teresa, when I went to drama school there was another student a couple of years below me and he used to cook his horse fillets on the sandwich press in the common room. And people would come in and be like, what are you cooking, bro?

And he would be like, that's some horse. And, yeah. What does it taste like? I've tasted it before, but I was really little, yeah. Yeah, I've not tasted it, so. Yeah. And to be honest, it's a lot of meat to go to waste. Yeah, I know.

You're just like, the horse died. We're going to eat it up. Yeah. Oh, I don't know if I'd wait for it to die. I don't know about cooking it on the sandwich press at work. It'd be a great theme for Melbourne Cup week. Oh, wouldn't it? You imagine a nice big rump steak.

I love that they brought it to a shared lunch though, Taylor. I think that's bold. I'm going to find this. If you wouldn't mind your husband asking his co-worker what shop he got it at. I wouldn't mind a trip down to it. Yeah.

Teresa, thank you. Some more messages in. The unusual things that your co-workers or you have in your lunchbox. Worked with an old fella on site that would have boiled pork sandwiches every day.

Boiled pork? Boiled pork. I don't know when you said boiled pork. I got a shiver down my spine. I felt so unwell. Boiled pork between two slices of buttered white bread. Do you know what I mean?

Once my workmate sat down and ate a whole rotisserie chicken in the break room. I could do that. I've seen you do it. What do you mean you could do it? Not a whole one at once, but I could give a good. I've seen you tear apart a half chook with your hands, for sure. Yeah.

One of my co-workers brought in just a Red Bull for lunch. It's weird that a date... It's not that unusual to me. I've seen people survive on ciggies and energy drinks. It's not... It doesn't... I'd be hungry. Definitely a text from a white person.

Not weird. I'm just jealous. A Chinese guy at work has dumplings every single day. I did. I mean, you would just never think as a white person, I'm going to bring some dumplings. Every single day. That's a genius lunch.

Yeah. I always took a mini chakluri board for my lunch. Got some looks, but I'd sit down and I'd put it all out. Cheese, crackers, deli meat, sliced fruits, dips, relishes, pickles, and a couple of chokies. Yum. Oh, that is, I would love that. Yeah.

Pregnant co-worker would eat crackers and Go-Gurt at her desk. What's Go-Gurt? Go-Gurt's like baby in the sachets and you suck it out. But they called it that and made it. You too can have it as an adult, but apparently squirting it on the crackers. Ew. Yeah.

My co-worker used to bring Weet-Bix with different toppings for lunch. Butter and Marmite, peanut butter, ham and cheese. It was like a Weet-Bix sandwich. This is cool I take nachos for lunch Most days in different containers Chips Mints

Sour cream cheese And then construct it at work What but every day Yeah but you'd just cook a big fat mince Wouldn't you Yeah You'd cook a big mince Well you'd cook one of Vaughan's mince logs

Yeah You'd get a 2kg mince log Yeah Get it done I used to have a mate that bought in tins of Waddy's mac and cheese and he'd just pop the lid

and just eat it cold. Ew. Stodgy. Re-hate it. Guy at my office will straight up just munch on radishes and spring onions

as a treat. Oh. Spring onions. Yeah. Broccoli and marmite sandwiches. Broccoli and marmite sandwiches.

Is the broccoli raw? It has to be. And you'd thinly slice it? Like discs? And lay it out? Might be nice. Floury discs? No, no.

Yeah, but I sort of get it because I like raw broccoli with a bit of salt. Okay. Umami salt. Our principal had air sandwiches every single day. Just two pieces of bread, no butter, no nothing. He'd call them air sandwiches. Yuck. Peanut butter and chicken sandwich.

Now, I like a satay chicken. Yeah, it is almost satay chicken. It's a satay chicken sandwich. Yeah, but it's missing a bit of sort of soy and ginger, isn't it? Just peanut butter and chicken is missing. It's missing. It's dry. It feels very dry.

Yeah. It'd need to be the thigh. Yeah. The breast. Can you imagine how, and then the peanut butter stuck to be the thigh. Yeah. The breast. Can you imagine how, and then the peanut butter stuck to the top of your mouth, the breast of the chicken

stuck to the tongue and you're like. Maybe that's why it's a perfect lunch because it takes like half an hour to eat one sandwich. Yeah. Yeah, then you're like,

I'm out, I'm done. Eat it slow. Oh, there's some, they're good ideas for people for their lunches to think outside of the old sandwich sushi box. Yeah.

Sandwich sushi salad. Goodness me. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. It's the final rankings. We do this every Friday, final rankings. We sure do, sir. Every Friday you'll find us here on Fletchbourne and Hayley Live.

As the sun reflects off the windows across the building over the road and catches my face, makes me look like a 10. Those hazels be popping. Yeah, the hazel be hazeling. Today, we're talking about times of the day. Because yesterday, it was such a beautiful afternoon in Auckland.

It was warm. I got home and kicked off the shoes and I sat on the deck for a lot of the afternoon. 21 degrees. Yeah. Queen. Wow, we're two months away from Christmas today. Yeah, and then around about 7pm, because it's staying lighter, the pink sky started settling in.

Dusk, you get that weird kind of, where everything looks really bold and I was like, man, dusk is nice. Have you seen that comet? No. I've seen that comet? No. I've seen it in the news, but I haven't bothered to look. Someone I know who lives not too far from us, Hayley. Yes. You're not included. As a city dweller.

You're trash. You're trash. Well, I've got too much light pollution. Yeah, you've got light pollution. Yeah, you do. Can't see. Apparently, you can see it from all the way. Really?

Yeah, beautifully. Oh, lovely. And then I don't know if tonight's going to be clear enough. Well, go to the Coromandel. If it is, I'll take a picture and let you know. I'll take a picture on my iPhone that can't take a Moriwai. Really? Yeah, beautifully. Oh, lovely. But then I don't know if tonight's going to be clear enough. Well, go to the Coromandel. If it is, I'll take a picture and let you know. I'll take a picture on my iPhone that can't take a picture of comets. If only I had Fletcher's iPhone. Can we swap phones for the weekend?

Can I have your phone? I want to look at the photos. Absolutely not. What? No, you don't want that phone. So we are ranking today. Times of day. Because you proclaim that dusk is your favourite time.

Dusk is my favourite. So about 5pm in winter, about 7pm in summer. I was wondering if we were going to differentiate between seasons because. Yes, I'm happy to say summer dusk. Summer dusk rules. Yep. Winter dusk it's cold. No, that's not. That's not as

nice. What about winter early, early morning? Yes. On a still morning. On a still crisp morning. With a light frost but a beautiful clear blue sky. A heavy dew on the ground. And you can tell it's going to be a nice day because it's cold. But not like uncomfortably cold.

It's going to break into a clear winter's crisp day. That's beautiful. We're talking 4 or 5 a.m. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That winter mid-morning is also gorgeous on a clear day. But then how good is a 2 p.m. summer? No, too hot.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because so much has happened and so much is still to come. That's what I love about 2 p.m. Okay, okay. You look at the, like, what time is it? 2 p.m. Far apart, man. We've been.

We've still got so much life to live. We've been at it. Sunset or sunrise? Sunrise is beautiful. Sunrise is beautiful. Sunrise is beautiful, but it's harder to get to. And we're working during sunrise. Often. So we don't get to see it.

But then in summer, I'm like, well, this is the one time of the year I don't have to get up. So why would you want to see it? Why do I want to see it? I'm going to go sunset, sunrise. Both in summer? Both in summer and then a winter morning. Yeah, like early, early. An early, early winter morning. Frosty. No, but I want some

blue. I want some light. I'm not talking 4am, I'm talking, you know, like 6 or 7am and you're getting some light. Is the sun up? Yeah, the sun. Maybe 7 or 8. So the sun's up, but low. You've got your Huffapuffa on. And it's crisp. Yeah. For me, dus low. You've got your Huffapuffa on. Yeah. And it's crisp. A cup of hot coffee.

Yeah. For me, dusk. I love it when it's dusk and summer and the mountains kind of pop off of the sky. You know, it's all kind of weird and 3D. And you're like, whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love a midnight. You love a midnight.

On a clear night. On a clear night. Okay, summer midnight rules because it's warm. Summer midnight. Yep. And you're like, how did it get so late? Yeah, and there's stars. There's stars.

Okay, I'm going to go summer dusk because that's what I was really. Okay, hang on. Autumn morning. Orange trees. Well, you've got to choose one. Spring mornings, though. Yeah, spring mornings. Spring mornings.

We do love mornings here on this morning breakfast show. Dusk is elite. Summer dusk. I'm going summer dusk. I'm going winter. At the moment, it's spring dusk. Just for your... Yeah, I know, but I know that it's going to get more elite.

Okay. Summer dusk is number one for me. It's very late, though, summer dusk. Number two is summer midnight. Okay. And number three is spring 3 a.m. It's weird though that you're second frame version. Spring 3 a.m. in an Uber.

We're just like, man, this is being a crazy night. You just trashed it up on the third. But you know that summer's coming and so you're starting to socialise a bit more and you're like, how's your busy night? Vaughan, rankings. I'm going to go number three is summer evenings. So you like your

summer dusk because it's late. Yep. Maybe sitting outside after dinner. It's always nice when you're outside after dinner. I think summer dusk wins. Summer dusk definitely wins. And number two would be winter's morning. Winter's morning. Crisp. Three would be summer's morning. I like a summer's morning. Yeah. Winter's morning. Crisp. Three would be

summer's morning. I like a summer's morning. Not too early. Like the sun's up and you can be like, boy, it's going to be hot today. And then that sun hits you and you're like, oh, it's already warm, but it's not unbearably hot. I love that time of the day in summer. You can go and do something, go for a run. That's when you can get up the mount.

Get up the mount before it gets too hot. My God, someone just texted one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. Dusk is the time of day where the light seems drunk on its own beauty. In moderation. In moderation. It's had one. Yeah, it's had one. It's had one and it's not driving.

It hasn't eaten since lunch. Yeah, it's had one and it's had a bit harder. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We're the not too great for the long weekend this weekend. Kind of country-wide as well, which is a shame. I don't think it's hitting the upper north till like Saturday. You might get a Friday, might get a Saturday morning. I've already committed I'm going to go in the ocean.

Okay. Because we go to New Chums every, which is in the Coromandel, every Labor Day. Right. Labor weekend. And we get in the ocean. It's going to be cold. It's going to be cold. It's going to be cold. Well, we thought we'd run through.

The body looks good cold. My body just tightens up. Yeah, everything tightens up. It's like it's fighting for survival. Yeah, it is. Yeah, totally. So we thought we'd run through some of the latest releases on streaming platforms, some of the big shows out at the moment?

So I started watching on Netflix The Woman of the Hour Woman of the Hour, which is a film and it's Anna Kendrick, who I actually really, really enjoy. Thoroughly. I think she's a really enjoyable actress.

Do you? Yeah, I know. You didn't like Pitch Perfect though, wait. Hate it! Hate it. It's good. All of it. So tacky. But it's about, it's based on a true story. It's a crime and it's quite full on.

So it's definitely not for kids probably. But it's about the woman who goes on a dating show and ends up with a serial killer. It's the number one movie on Netflix in New Zealand at the moment. Have you watched Nobody Wants This yet? I have. I chewed it up, ate it up, ingested it, spat it out. It's flawless. You could definitely swallow

that entire thing in a long weekend. Yeah. Easy peasy. I haven't watched it yet, but I have watched the first two seasons of Lincoln Lawyer and I loved it. That has just dropped the third season. That's the number one TV show in New Zealand at the moment. And do you, okay, what was that show? Is it called Alone?

Outlast. Do you remember Outlast? And it's the competition where all those crazy Americans go into these islands and they have to outlast and live on their own and just survive? Yeah. Second season just dropped. Is it?

Yep, just dropped. Remember how insane the first one was? It was insane because I don't really like Survivor or like any of those shows. Or reality TV either. Nah. But for some reason that really got me. I think it was just because everyone on there was insane. Everyone on there was insane. So yeah, that's

a reality TV show. That was good. On Apple TV, Slow Horses has finished up. All six episodes are out now and I'm going to start that today. It's so good. It's so brilliant. So good. Gary Oldman. Gary Oldman. Give him all the awards.

Did he win an award recently? I feel that show won the writing or for something at the Emmys. Do you know if you go on, like often on YouTube and Apple TV, you can get really new releases and you pay like six bucks to rent them for 48 hours. I watched that, God, what was it?

The Colleen Hoover, Blake Lively one, the floral one. Yeah. Which was like flowers and you're like, no, domestic abuse. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But I rented that from Apple TV to watch it. So they've got like good new releases. Right, it ends with us.

Shrinking. Yeah, when is shrinking out? Not yet. December. They rented that from Apple TV to watch it. So they've got like good new releases. It ends with us. Shrinking. Yeah, when is Shrinking out? Not yet. December. What premieres for top chart? That's a great show. Because Bad Monkey is on Apple TV as well.

Vince Vaughn? Vince Vaughn plays, it's just great Vince Vaughn. You know, like Wedding Crashers level, Quick Wit. Yeah. Stripted slash improv, really, really, quick wit. Yeah. Stripted slash improv. Really, really good. I would get a head on shows this weekend that are about to drop. Like Severance just dropped its trailer. I know there's still a long wait, but that's worth a

rewatch. Yeah. Same with Shrinking on Apple TV. Yeah. Or, you know, you could just look up. What did I say? Like get out and go to the beach or something. What came out on Hulu this week, but it's on Disney Plus here. what did I say you know like get out and go to the beach this weekend man what came out on Hulu this week

but it's on Disney Plus here great story Vaughn this is such a cool yarn oh my god I can't wait to watch your hot recommendation yeah yeah yeah

oh god I can't this rolls I can't wait just to like scroll through the internet and hope I find what Vaughn was recommending on Disney Plus it literally has like thousands of things it's on Hulu I know but it's just if Vaughn was recommending. I'm going Disney Plus. It literally has like thousands of things.

I know, but it's just, if you go to Disney, did you? I'm going on Disney now. Cool story, man. I wish my story was better, guys. August, can you sort your father out, please? Because he's really embarrassing himself right now. Yeah.

God, what a loser. I'm on Disney Plus. I mean, what are you? Go to Hulu. Go, got some more. Go to the Hulu tab. Got some more sort of. It was like one that I was like excited about

and kind of snuck up on you. You've got no clue. It's that one I was excited about. That's the clue, Fletch. You're saying it's on Hulu. That's not a clue. Hulu ain't no clue-loo. Why are you guys being so mean to me?

Look, if you find out, let us know at a later time, Vaughn. Hold on, I've got a humor this month. You sort of... It's not on there. I think the moment's gone. The moment's gone. You think the moment's gone. The moment has gone.

Okay, well... It's that David Tennant show. Still more info. Not worth waiting for. Rivals. It's that David Tennant show. Set against the drama excess and shocking antics of the power grabbing social

elite of 1980s England, Rival delves headfirst into the ruthless world of independent television in 1986. Oh, well you've really hooked me with that description. It's got David Tennant in it. Also, season two, episode one of Shrinking is out now. Is it? Yep.

It started 16th of October. Shrinking, yes. Sorry, you said shrinking before and I thought severance. Oh my god, no. I feel like we came on here to give some recommendations and Vaughan, you've done nothing but confuse everyone. I've kind of rolled everything, haven't I? You've actually just made an absolute mess of this.

Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Quite busy yesterday running around, doing things. We had meetings and then something else and then something else. I went and saw a movie and then I... Oh, yeah, because we've got an interview. I know. Good movie, too.

What did you think of the movie? Loved. It was good, eh? Except no one warned me, and this isn't a spoiler or giveaway. Can we say what the movie is? No, we can't say. Oh, no, we've been sworn to secrecy. But no one warned me

and I really would have appreciated it that in the first like 15 minutes of the film, there is a rather large MOTH. Oh, I did think that when I saw it and I was like, I won't tell Hayley because she won't go. I was in the cinema on my own and I was just like,

oh, anyway. It's okay. Anyway, so I did that and then I had some lunch, and then I went to the gym, and then I had about 35 minutes before my therapy session, which, by the way, I know I've been talking about it a lot. Really enjoying it.

Okay. What are you up to? Five? Five? Have Vaughan and I come up yet? Because I don't think we're the problem. I don't think so. I did it in one.

You clocked therapy. How many are you so. I just did it in one. You clock therapy. How many are you going to do? Yeah, probably ongoing. Oh, yeah. No, that's good. That's good. I reckon I could do it in one too, but I don't need it. Okay, that's not how therapy works, my friends.

Are you sure? It's not something to clock. You just push it down. No, it's not something to clock. No, yeah. I might bring you to my next session, actually. Yeah. Fletch. I get a racing heart and, like, extreme 7 o'clock. No, yeah. I might bring you to my next session, actually. Yeah. Fletch.

I get a racing heart and, like, extreme shoulder, chest pains. So that's anxiety. But I just think I just keep pushing it down. Yeah, yeah. So that's going to cause cancer. Yeah, interesting. Anyway. The doctor says my blood pressure spikes.

He's got no idea why. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I just said, oh, well, another thing we're not worried about. Push it down. Yeah, why are you grinding your teeth down like that? That's what teeth are for. Anyway after between the gym and the therapy session I was

I had like yeah 35 minutes and I was tired. I felt this tiredness overcome me and so I did that thing where I just parked up outside the therapist office which in itself is quite funny and put my seat right back and just was like I'm just going to catch twinning. I'm just going to

close my eyes. I can't do this. Yeah. I can't. I've tried to do that before where you're like well at no point going home because that's half an hour there, half an hour back and I'm worrying 40 minutes. I'll just shut my eyes. The minute I go back I'm like It's kind of nice because the car becomes like a little glass house because

it's a hot day. Yeah and I cranked a window so you know the dog could hot day. Yeah, and I cranked a window so, you know, the dog could breathe. Yeah. And I'd cranked a window and, yeah, just slightly reclined, not lying down, just enough that I didn't need to fall asleep. It just was nice to close my eyes. Okay. And I had, I put some brown noise on.

Man, it was lovely. Okay, now we're talking. Afternoon was heating up. Wait, so your car's just parked on the side of the road. There's brown noise. The windows are down. There's brown noise just like... Like, what are people thinking? Well, I don't really care because more

embarrassingly was I actually did start to nod off. Like, really back into a... Not deep sleep, but I was... My brain was left. It had left the building. Yeah, I love that. That's a good state. You got it all out at therapy, obviously. No, no, no, this is pre-therapy.

Oh, pre, okay, right. Because I wanted to arrive refreshed and ready to work. Yeah, right. You know, that's what therapy is. It's work. It's not something to clock in one go. Right, because I went tired straight from work. Yeah, and then you think you clocked it.

And nailed it in one. Yeah, it's not about nailing it. It's a process. But imagine, I would probably have done it in half an hour if I'd been rested. Yeah. Probably. I might bring this up with my therapist next session and be like, is this possible that he thinks he's clocked it?

I'll use my time to help you out, my friend. Don't do that. Anyway, the more embarrassing thing than the image of me, legs up on the dash, like straddling the wheel. Oh, did you get into the passenger seat? Wait, what? Legs akimbo around the wheel.

What, and the seat's right back? Yeah. Okay, alright. Legs back, just... What, like you're birthing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like a birther. You're up in the stirrups? Yeah. Just like loosely around the wheel, back like this. Brown noise on, sunny day, windows down, sitting outside an

Auckland therapist office. Early when you said the window was cracked so the dog could breathe. No, not that dog. Because I was in my gym clothes still. She weren't breathing until I got home. No, no, no, this dog. Me, the dog. And the only thing is that what woke me from this beautiful afternoon, 20

minute kip, I farted. And it shook me away oh wow hey with my legs akimbo up on the desk so it was one of those weird like open fires yeah and then i was sort of like because i wasn't deep asleep i was sort of just drifting off i was like you woke yourself up i want myself a real old man thing to do wake yourself nodding off when you're outside and waking yourself up with a fart yeah i know but the great thing was that the window was down and um there was a couple going for a little stroll past the thing and i don't know if they heard me or not but they sort of was like what is happening in that car so yeah that's how i woke up yeah but it was good it woke me up sort of as an alarm.

I had five minutes left before me to go in, and I was like, well done, body. Did you hit the snooze button? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

It's not almost written there. I'm in the office by myself. I've cranked that right up. Good choice. Yeah, it's a banger. Someone just found out, looked over and saw that their teenager was rocking out. And they were like, are you an Evanescence fan? Wild.

Yeah, man. Wild. They've just come across Evanescence on their own. Two years ago. Best flashback ever. The postman must have been mauled and then chose this one-star anthem. Pitbull on the loose? Yeah.

Yeah, roaming dog attacks postman. Leaves him only with one star. My angsty teen just sung a wee heart out That makes me so happy That was me in my room with the door closed I'm bonding family You are, you're joining millennials and teenagers It's an intergenerational

Somebody said I can't believe they're opening for Metallica I'll come to the concert with you It's not my man's scene Hayley, I'll come to the concert with you I'm not looking for a date, I've got mates You've got friends. Yeah, I'm good. But thank you.

Say hi if you see me. You're so focused about this concert. I'm so focused. No one will get in the way. I've got like calendar alarms, everything's set so I can get good tickies. Somebody said they were parked at the traffic lights and the truck driver next door opened their window,

leaned down and said, you're having a party in there. Every day, my man. Every day in my 1991 manual hatchback nana car. Oh, kia ora. Now, we want to talk about intimidation, and particularly when it comes to dates, because there is a millionaire X-rated star, film star,

who made her journey from behind the flaps of a VHS store to, be mature, please, Fletch, behind the flaps of a VHS store to what we know as OnlyFans today. Yeah. Very successful on there. Maddie Miller is her name. Self-made millionaire. Created the life of her dreams by the age of 20 years old,

doing X-rated content. Now on OnlyFans makes $70,000 a month. Thriving career. Isn't it insane how much some people are making on Oni fans? Yeah, but just go for it. You never hear about the ones making lots of money like a pyramid scheme. You don't hear about the people who are making

$4 a month. Yeah. Putting it all out there. Literally. But she said, despite the success and the money and all the things it's allowed her to buy, it has absolutely killed her dating life because she wants a romantic relationship. She wants a long-term partner. Because that's work to her, right?

It's work. It's just work. But the moment she comes out and says, hey, by the way, this is my line of work. This is how I make my money. It intimidates them. They can't handle it. They're just like, oh my God, that's so full on.

And then they start Thinking about all the competition They start getting jealous Of the men that are watching And da da da da da And she was like It's just killed it I don't know what to do

I can't lie and hide it I don't want that kind of life When I have to hide my job I'd show you a photo But I'd say Well not for you Not for you You're alright

No you're doing alright But yeah Intimidated People are intimidated This is what we wanted To ask this morning Is in your dating life Have you ever found You're all right. No, you're doing all right. But yeah, intimidated. People are intimidated. This is what we wanted to ask this morning is in your dating life, have you ever found that people have been intimidated by you? Yeah, and what is it?

In some way. Yeah, maybe it's a... You said before like people that earn more money. Yeah. Or the height thing maybe. Yeah. Or the job. Maybe it's the way you talk. Maybe you're just super confident.

You've got a potty mouth or a pirate mouth. There's always got to be something that people just can't handle. Because who's asking for feedback after a date? Why didn't you go through it? Send them a feedback form. I reckon you know. You know? When they ask you to chuck them a Google review,

it really helps them get the word out there. Yeah, do you mind popping on Yelp after this date and just giving me a review? I reckon you know. You'll be able to figure it out why people are intimidated by you. Okay, well, this is what we want to know. Maybe you've got facial tattoos.

Maybe you've got lots of piercings. Okay, 0800DARLSATM. Give us a call now. You can text through 9696. Oh, interesting. I know just some messages coming in already. Okay. We want to know, what is the thing that people are intimidated by from you?

What about you intimidates dates when you're out there looking for a lover? Because there is an OnlyFans content creator, very successful, makes a lot of money, but it has killed her dating life because men are just intimidated by it. Anonymous, what intimidates

dates about you? Oh, hello. Good morning. Good morning. Oh, good morning. Are you flirting with us? No, not at all. Okay.

So I am a six-foot blonde woman and I drive trucks. Oh, okay. So far I'm not intimidated. I'm intrigued. I grew up in the country, so I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty. Yeah. Is your preference men?

Straight men? Okay. Okay, and they just find this too much. Yes, I live in a big city now, and I'm from the country, and these city boys are just a different breed, and I just think that they, yeah, I'm not sure. Yeah, I know what you mean, because I'm from the Naki. I know what you mean.

Go on. Shut up. You're a city trash. They wouldn't even know to put up a bloody fence, would they? How do you put up a fence? I'm a man, not none of these city folks. Yeah, you do. So what happens when you've been on dates with these city boys?

They just don't know what to say or do. The conversation is just not flowing how it should be. They're just so interested in themselves and the computers and this and that. And I'm just out there doing things. Bloody computers. Yeah. Yeah. I take it up a bit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right. I mean, that makes sense.

Can I ask as a 6, because I'm 5'11-ish, almost. She rounds up to 6. No, I round down to 5'10 to make myself more approachable. Do you wear high heels? No, no, I don't. But that's because you can't drive a truck in bloody high heels. That's ridiculous.

It's already hard enough to find somebody at my height. Do you hate it as a fellow tall girl anonymous when you see these tiny, tiny women with these ginormous men and you're like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, leave them to us, please. What are you doing? What are you doing? Those are ours.

Anonymous, thank you for sharing some messages in. I'm six foot three. I'm not skinny as I've got a Czech background. Okay. I didn't know that Czech people were built. You never see skinny Czech people. Okay. I earn good money, more than the average, independent, capable, confident woman. And apart from finding a man taller in the first place that doesn't like going on a date with a child,

they find my overall package intimidating. Oh, yes. You've got a baby as well. You've got a kid as well. Yeah. Yeah, I can imagine. Isn't that going on... No, no, they're saying, isn't it like going on a date with a child?

Oh. So she doesn't want to go on a date with someone who's like a child. Oh, like a boy man. Or a mature man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, at least you know she's not going to steal from you.

Yeah. Yeah, that's true. She's got a checked background. She's had a police... She's been police checked Republic. She's been police check republiced. It was really good. It would have been better if you'd been like, why?

I liked it so much. No, I knew what you were saying. I was just like, get him going, get him going. Is it too late to get into Comedy Fest next year? No, I will pull some strings, my friend, and I will get you your first hour. Somebody just messaged him we should have introduced our six-foot-tall, blonde, truck-driving female who can't find a good lad in the city to Josh from yesterday.

Oh, with the deep voice. Yeah, that's right. Far out. I don't think we've had that many texts in a matter of a minute. That rocked me to my core. People are intimidated by me because of my hazel eyes, perfect jawline, buzz cut, and muscular frame, so much so that no woman ever talks to me to my core. Yeah. People are intimidated by me because of my hazel eyes, perfect jawline, buzz cut, and muscular frame.

So much so that no woman ever talks to me for any reason. Shut up. Jason, Mamaw, get on set. You know, you're late for set.

Don't be texting into our show. You've got stuff to do. I mean, I also, as a hazel eyed, perfect woman myself, I understand. You get it. You get it.

I get it. My bitchy resting face. My daughter and granddaughter have the same cold stare, and men are just like, they find us very cold and intimidating, but that's just our face. We've had a few people text them about their bitchy resting face. It makes them very intimidating and unapproachable. I'm a softie, but I have a very hard-looking exterior,

so people think I'm intimidating. And then they find out I was on a reality TV show. It's all downhill from there. And then they tag their own Instagram. No, I'm not reading that out. Because you've already been on a reality TV show for that purpose. Which one? I don't know.

I want to know. Oh, I know a reality TV show. They're not doing a free plug here. No free plugs from this guy. You've got to pay. My inability to play dumb and challenge them When they say ridiculously stupid things So they're saying that they'll go out on a date with a guy

And he'll say something dumb and they'll be like, well actually And men don't like that Giggle and go along I think many of the girls I asked out were intimidated By my height Because I was shorter than them Different type of intimidation I'm now happily married to a woman that looked beyond my height.

Oh, that's nice. That's nice. Well, how short are we talking? I don't know. In my mind, very short, but that was just because I kind of live in extremes. Yeah. Yes. My whole personality seems to intimidate men.

I've always been told I'm too much. Oh, no. Too happy, too loud, too strong, too confident. Gosh. Are you texting in? Yeah, sorry. I got bored of being on this side of it, so I just started texting in as well.

Yeah, so you're just texting in as well. I'm a career woman, found it hard when I was on the dating scene. I found a good one in the end though. I'm funny and smart and men don't like that. Okay. here we go here's one I'm a smart

and dark romance reader men think that I just want them to reenact when I'm reading now Leo it's not that's not what we want no

it's fantasy land you're alright yeah that's an escape for you isn't it yeah yeah yeah fortnightly missionary's fine fact of the day fortnightly

is next too much too much calm down play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley is fine. Fact of the Day is next. Too much. Calm down. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the Day Day Day

Day Day Vaughan, why are you going so low like that? I don't know. It's confusing. Don't. Well, today's fact of the day. It's about automatic versus manual.

And here in Altura, New Zealand. You mean driving versus not driving? I hate driving manual. I know. Yeah, our friend James has a manual. And if you ever borrow the car, I mean, grateful to borrow the Yeah, our friend James has a manual. And if you ever borrow the car, I mean, grateful to borrow the car, James,

if you're listening. That was quirky. That was a little save there. But like when you get, like when you're in traffic crawling, it's like painful. It's hard on the foot. And you always forget when you get up to a giveaway and then all of a sudden the car's like,

you're just like, oh, that's right. Put it in gear. Yeah. Change down. Well, what do you think the ratio in New Zealand is? What percentage of cars are automatic? Now, nowadays. It'll be dropping and dropping.

Surely it'll be like 80 or 90%. Yeah. Or 95. I suppose there's a big quite, we're right, eh? Yeah. Yeah. It's not shocking. I know you're going to be like, 60, 40?

No. 60, 40? Yeah. Grow up. I've never owned a manual car. I mean, Aaron's owned predominantly manuals. I've only bought one. You would just struggle to even learn to drive in a manual these days.

Nah. It's just you don't know how to. You've got to learn to drive in a manual. I don't think you do these days. You've got to learn to drive. I think it's't think you do these days You've got to learn to drive I think it's an important skill to have No I went auto Then manual

My pop taught me But I've never bought one Why? I'd be interested to know Under 30s How many could actually drive In a manual Well that could be

Silly little poll Yeah but then what if Someone over 30 Or we could say If you're under 30 We could go If you're over 30 Can you drive a manual Yeah Next say, if you're under 30, we could go, if you're over 30, can you drive a manual? Next one is, if you're under 30, can you drive a manual?

Double silly little poll. Yeah. We'll have that on Tuesday. Love that. I think it's important to learn to drive a manual. 90% of vehicles sold in New Zealand are automatic. It's actually not that important. You just don't need it.

You don't need it anymore, Vaughan, because there are no manuals. What if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere? And the only way out is to drive it in first. It screams. Get going. You've got exactly the right amount of gas to get where you're going. Yeah. But you have to drive it in fifth gear once you've got started.

Otherwise, it doesn't matter anymore. And you're being chased. Okay, you're being chased. You've only got a manual for an escape and the T-Rex is chasing you. You can chase you up to third gear speed. Then you're gonna die. And so you should. Yeah.

You know, whatever. Only the strong will survive. Only the strong manuals will survive. Yeah, I was kind of blown away by 90%. I thought it would be more like 80%. That's not mind-blowing at all, Vaughn. This kind of sucks, by the way. This is a sucks fact. A real sucks fact.

That's a sucks fact. It's a sucks fact. Okay, when do you think... That is such a sucks fact. When do you think cup holders were added to cars? Who cares? Well, this is my backup. This is my backup.

When drive-thrus became a thing. Yeah, the 1950s, 1960s. 1983 was the release of the first car. That's a way better fact. Yeah. Chrysler made it happen and then everyone was like, damn, full-time cup holders. And I bet that it wasn't added for soft drinks either.

In the 80s. Brewskis, you reckon? Yeah, because you know Americans and... Having their brewskis. But then if you'd said the 50s, I would have thought that, but no, maybe not the 80s. Yeah. Right. Do you know the only reason I would have thought that, but no, maybe not the 80s. Yeah. Right.

Do you know the only reason I would buy a manual car is if it was like a vintage car. If I could ever, ever lived my dream of having like a Mustang or something. Yeah.

Well, no, you could get automatic, but if you really wanted it and the only option was a manual. You'd just be like, okay. Yeah. And then learn to drive in a precious vintage car that you'd like.

Smash it with something and bunny hop down the road and blow the clutch out and have to buy an expensive part. So today's fact of the day, 90% of the cars. Today's fact of the day. I thought it was interesting. Which was sucks.

90% of cars sold in New Zealand are automatics. Sucks. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Play Zed M's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play Zed M's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. All right. What do I need to cover when I talk to a primary school class next week about radio? I'm taking notes. You guys do notes. I talk to a primary school class next week about radio. I'm taking notes.

You guys do notes? I'll make a PowerPoint. Well, I mean, you've been doing this job long enough that we shouldn't have to help you with something that seems like your problem. I've been here for just under three years and it's embarrassing you're asking me. All I'm hearing is excuses, my dudes. And I need solutions. So you want to be better than a journalist

that spoke to a class. Who else has been in? A photographer. A photographer. That's cool, man. That's just point and click. Oh, is that all? Oh my god.

I'll just open the text machine. I'll just keep that open for the apologies. We've got to sell radio and podcasting. So I'm covering both. Oh yeah, okay. I can't speak to TV. Everything I've ever been on has been cancelled fairly abruptly. Radio you talk and podcast you talk but we can swear.

That's the difference. Do you think you need to talk about audience? You've got to know who you're talking to, right? You can run through a few of the swear words you can say on podcast only. Okay. They like that, eh? The can run through a few of the swear words you can say on podcasts only. Okay. In front of the kids. They like that, eh? The kids have a list of swear words.

No, she's saying no. What if you bring the list of things you can't say on radio because every year we get sent a list of the words that are big no-no's. You could just run through that with the kids.

Yeah. Okay. I can't say all of these words. All of those. Yeah. All of those. Yeah, they're the worst ones. That head's getting shook, guys. I can't do those. They're the worst ones.

That head's getting shook, guys. I can't do that. Here's the first one. If you've worn kindly from New Zealand photographers. Carry on. Oh, really? Yep. I've got to do an apology soon, don't I?

Yeah, you do. Because I've annoyed somebody as well. Not me. Not all people please a sprout. No apology needed over here. No apologies from you today. So you're trying to sell Augie's class on the fact that this is a real job. This is a real job.

A legitimate thing. But it's not really, is it? Because we just play songs and talk. Oh, okay. It's more than the class. It's the whole year five, six. Pressure's on. Okay.

How many students is that? Hundreds? So we have like 28 students. And then I reckon about 80 students. Okay, so over 100. No, no, no, just 80. 80, just 80. Okay, 80 students.

Not that big. Okay. Okay, you could say things. We get sent lots of free stuff. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. And sometimes in the mornings, nuggies turn up.

Yeah, unexpectedly. Yeah. I'd be like, like now. You could say all the perks. And then McDonald's would bring in some nuggets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can sell that off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could be like, like now. You could say all the perks. And then McDonald's would bring in some nuggets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can sell that off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then I can write, I'm at McDonald's on the board and underline it, but put ad beside it. Yeah, hashtag ad. That's like real niche sort of advertising situation. You can tell me that years five and six wouldn't be happy of a huge delivery of chicken nuggets turned up while you're trying to say, this is part of being on radio, baby. Some of them are vegetarian.

Okay. Or we could get some lettuce. Are you telling me these kids are vegetarian? Yeah, five and six, ten and eleven. That's a vegetarian. Grow up. Grow up and eat a steak. Two people in the class are vegetarian.

Two people. That's all right. They can be excused. Okay, well, they can be excused. No no-yes for them. I'll get them a McDonald's salad. We'll talk about the free stuff. Yeah. You can talk about the songs, how it works're there. I'll get them a McDonald's salad. Okay, we'll talk about the free stuff. Yeah.

You can talk about the songs. You can talk about the songs, how it works. Yep. I don't know. Can you get... I don't know how it works. I reckon you might have to bring sweet Tim. You just press play on the computer.

Do you want to come and talk to the kids? You love kids. You're great with kids. What are you doing Tuesday? This is your problem. I've got them busy. We've got a gym class. He is not great with kids.

I know. I don't like them. He doesn't know how to talk to them. He always says that, but he is a pretty good... He's very good with children. Yeah, because I was going to get Your daughter August A fluffy this morning

From the cafe Yeah and I said She's not a baby She's 10 and she's like She loves a fluffy They love fluffies She used to love a fluffy Three year olds love fluffies

It's been so long We haven't been telling her What a fluffy was I have a fluffy Especially when it's got Hundreds of thousands I just want the sprinkles on top Yeah yeah yeah

Oh someone texted in Can you teach them How to back announce A Taylor Swift song? Yeah, you could do that. We could do that. We could get them up. And I could do that in my PowerPoint.

I could have the last five seconds of a song audio. And now you have to say the time, the show, what the song was, and your name. That's a good idea. That's a good idea. You make it interactive. Get some volunteers. So that's Taylor Swift. That's Taylor Swift on Jackson FM.

Yes. It's 8.45. Boom. That's good. Yeah, make it interactive. You could do a phone-in topic with the kids. Yeah. Like, when did you last poop your pants?

Yeah. Because kids always shit their pants. They're not pooping their pants. No, they are. They always poop their pants. They're not shitting themselves and having fluffies. They do. They're not pooping their pants anymore.

And then they can call in the phone line in the hall or the classroom. I pooped my pants this morning. Yeah. Maybe I need to tell them about KPIs too. I don't know what KPIs are. Yeah, you've got to meet the budgets and you've got to get the listeners. Okay, that's what it is. Key performance indicators, but what does that mean? That's just jargon.

August, do you know what KPIs are, Augie? No, neither do I, but we're ticking them. We're ticking them, constantly ticking them. Constantly ticking them. Right, well, thanks for the help. I think there's some good points there. Yeah, it's good. It's going to be as embarrassing as that time you spoke to that South Auckland Constantly ticking them. Constantly ticking them. Right, well, thanks for the help. I think there's some good points there. Yeah. It's good.

It's going to be as embarrassing as that time you spoke to that South Auckland student group. Oh my God, careers day. Yeah, careers day. Why were just Koreans invited? That doesn't feel fair. That's racially profiled. It was a unification day. Was it South or North?

Or just everyone? All the Koreans. North and South Koreans. No, this was so funny. I wish I'd been there to see the look on Vaughan's face. Why? What happened? I don't know.

I didn't want to talk about it. No, tell Hayley. Do you know the story, August? No. It was, oh my God. Somebody, a sales rep said, because there'd been ads sold for this careers day. You know, you're over and out there.

You're not sure what to do. You leave school, come along to this careers day. And so they'd ship loads of kids there. We didn't have that at my school because they were just like, obviously doctors and lawyers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Time to.

the worst moment of my life you ate crap that's so embarrassing it was just the worst moment of my life. You ate crap. That's so embarrassing, dude. It was terrible. Yeah. Well, let's see if that happens again on Tuesday. Yeah, good luck.

We need to talk about the fact that we've been called out from the gymnastics community about some hate that apparently we have given. You've been called out on socials, Fletch. Oh, really? I've run my mouth, haven't I? Yeah, you have run your mouth about gymnastics. He's upset a lot of people. Do you know what I think this was when we were talking about the top six?

Yeah. And we mentioned that the Commonwealth Games are going to be slimmed down. Yeah. And that a lot of sports, even the big ones, the big Commonwealth sports like rugby, cricket, hockey, are gone. Yeah. And I don't remember exactly what I said, but I think we were talking about the sports that were still remaining.

Yes. And one of them was gymnastics. Yes. And I said, That's him running his mouth. And I said something like, oh, get rid of that. Yeah. Well, a gymnast has tagged not only FVHC, he's dragged us

into this, but you personally on your Instagram. I've been tagged in. Do you know what? I wasn't going to say anything, but somebody else has got a problem with this too. Really? I'll add them to the list next. Well, what's their problem? You. Oh, what have I done? He's dragging us down. Yeah. Ridiculous. Well, let's end the

week on a high note. So, okay, this video that we've been tagged in yeah what an incredible i take it all back i take it all back because in my mind wait i don't want to dig a bigger hole but i thought in my mind when i said get rid of that i thought it was just you know when they the ribbon the ribbon they go around with the ribbon which in itself is a sport so shut up because now you're gonna offend a whole group of other people i don't want to yeah but what i don't know the difference. So we have a Kiwi gymnast.

Can I say names? I'll say names. Yeah. Courtney McGregor. Yeah. Phenomenal performance. I know, because look at that video. It's incredible.

This is on the vault. Yeah. Run, run, run, run, run. Vault. Flip, flip, flip, flip. Land. Stick. Hands up.

I needed that really low at intermediate school, the vault. Yeah, you did. Because you'd go from the mini trampoline onto the vault. Yeah. And sometimes it was a bit high for me. Yeah. That was a fat kid. Does she do beam?

She'd do it all. Does Courtney do beam? Yeah, and she flips. She said, what's with the artistic gymnastics hate at FVHZM, that's us, and Fletch NZ? Do you even know what it is? I don't. No, I'll be honest. I just googled Courtney.

She's 25 and she's already retired. Yeah. Well, that body's stuffed at that point. The knees are aching. You reckon it shouldn't be in the com games? Let me take you to the gym for a lesson. Oh, my God, I'll die. I'll break my neck, Courtney.

I'll break my neck. I take it all back. I apologise. On-air apology? On-air apology, yeah, I apologise. I'll take it all back. That's incredible. I apologise to Danny as well because he messaged me saying,

I've noticed badminton has been wearing it on the show lately, particularly Fletch. I know, but you just hit it so hard and it just doesn't go anywhere. So if the show needs a lesson on what the fastest racket sport in the world looks like, the rackets might be going fast. But let's face it, the shuttlecock's really slowing you guys down. It just doesn't go. For if it hitting the shuttlecock, it doesn't go fast enough.

It just doesn't, eh? It just doesn't. But again, I'm not going to, I'll apologise to the badmintoners as well. Again, all of that, every time I run, it's not like I'm representing New Zealand in anything. No, you're not. Let's take this all with a grain of salt, please. Nothing.

A pinch of salt. Yeah, we're really, really sorry. No, you're not going to be able to have any salt in your diet if you're going to be getting up on that gymnastics beam, mate. It's a very regimented nutrition guide. Oh, I just realised I did the whole show with my headphones on backwards. Well, that means

the show's backwards then, isn't it? We're going to have to play this in reverse. Well, should we speak in reverse and hopefully they'll work out the other way? Give us a review. and hopefully they'll work out the other way. Yeah. Give us a review.
