The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Fawn and Hayley Big Pod. Thanks to McCafe. Great things are brewing, one cup at a time. Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Joe Biden going for another round. Do you know who's going up against him?

Afro-man. Afro-man. Because I go high. Not on my bingo card. Because I go high. Has he announced as well? He's announced he's officially running for president 2024. Also on the news, you would have heard Sam say police swarming the Auckland suburb of Sandringham. Yeah.

With canine units. Yikes. May have been why producer Jared was stopped by police this morning. Yeah. Just leaving my house. Big old flashlight in the face, and then a German shepherd comes running up. Oh, God, they're terrifying.

Was it your purple hair? Was he like, I've lost my sheep? Do you know how bad my sheep are? I cannot find my sheep. I'm just a humble German shepherd. No, he asked where I lived, what I was up to. Was he hitting on you? He was a very attractive cop.

Oh, my God. Tell me more, tell me more. Well, he's got a dog too, so that's cute. Tight shirt. Yeah. His arms, yeah, his arms are fantastic. Was he wearing the police polo with the arms bulging? Because you remember the cop you saw with the bulging arms?

Oh, my God, like seven foot tall. It was a very snug bulletproof vest. Yeah, they're snug. Oh, that's so hot. And he did that thing where he put his thumbs up. Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, they're snugg. Oh, that's so hot. And he did that thing where he put his thumbs up. Oh, I love it. Oh my gosh.

And the vest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need a minute. It was cool. It was pretty cool. And so why did they question you and then let you go? What did you say?

I was like, oh yeah, I just live in this house here that I just came out of. And he said, oh yeah, cool. I did see that. Nah, you're all good, mate. We're just looking for someone. But anyone could have said that.

Yeah. I could stand outside anyone's house and say that's my house. Yeah, and when you break into a house you've got to break back out, you know. So and you would have, did you have a backpack? I had my backpack. Full of goods. Sporting bright purple

hair. Yeah. I quickly let the dog have a bite of you just for the hair alone. Have a little nibble. See if he tastes like candy. Coming up on the show, silly little poll, how do you like your eggs? Are we a scrambled nation? Are we a poached nation?

Because I saw the results of this and I've, well, I've changed. I've crossed. Have you? A few years ago I made a change for the better. For many, many reasons and I'm happy to divulge. It's coming up soon. Also on the way are the top six. Yeah, it's become easier to become an Australian citizen.

Yeah. As a New Zealander moving across there. You've got to live there for a few years, like four years, and then you can become a citizen. You can vote. Yeah. Get the penny. Yeah. Eggs penny and the penny. And the penny fit. Yeah. Get the penny. Yeah.

Eggs penny and the penny. And the penny fit. But. The eggs penny. But. It's not that easy. The top six things you're no longer allowed from New Zealand if you do. Oh, you've got to force it.

Yeah. You've got to forsake it. You can't have dual. Exactly. You've got to pick a side. I reckon you've got to pick a side. So I've got the top six things you have to give up to become an Australian citizen. Next on the show, the average amount of money that people are wasting every year on food.

Yeah, this is truly going to blow your mind, and I am such a culprit. It goes limp. I know. And then it all goes like liquidy. Yeah. Gelatinous. In the veggie drawer. Oh, feral.

I'm Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. The show thanks to McCaffey. Great throwing things of brewing one cup at a time. You've changed my lines. Oh, that's new. That's not what I normally say, is it? It threw me, didn't it? Yeah.

Great things of brewing one cup at a time. Thanks, McCaff new. That's not what I normally say, is it? It threw me, didn't it? Yeah. Great things are brewing one cup at a time. Thanks, McCafe. Great things. And there's like three different new ones. Drive through and start your day with McCafe. Great things are brewing. Fantastic. Okay, great things are brewing. Great things are brewing.

It's a little challenge for you. Yeah, that's a bit of a tongue twister, isn't it? Now, some stats have come out. The average amount of groceries that we're wasting or the amount on groceries. I get told off about this all the time from Aaron because I love doing a big shop. I get inspired. Over the long weekend, I cooked so much. And then I always love a big little top up of the groceries.

Apart from that time we were drinking and we ordered a lot of pizzas. We ordered so many pizzas. And it got stuck in the rain. Yeah, we were in the rain. With all the pizzas. So I didn't cook on that night. No. But all the other nights I've cooked.

No, that's also not Trogot Burgers. Okay. So mostly you cooked. But do you know what I did the other day is I did a classic garbage soup. Yeah. Because I roasted a chook, chucked the carcass in a pot, and then is I did a classic garbage soup. Yeah. Because I roasted a chook, chucked the carcass in a pot, and then just chucked a bit of garbage in it.

And then it was delicious. And now I've got days and days worth of garbage. Of soup. To eat. And I felt health. That's not going to do that thing where you put it in the fridge and then you eat it for a couple of days and then you leave a bit in the bottom and then it separates. It's already separated.

Good. So that's actually what this study found as well on average. People put leftovers into their fridges three times a week and about 30% of them never eaten again. My mum was talking about this to me yesterday while we zoomed while I was cutting

pumpkin. She said you're doing a bit of meal prep and I said just a little bit. I made some egg things for Ricky. And she was like, do you follow Millie Millie... Bobby Brown. No, Millie... Alda Holmes. Alda Holmes. And I said, no. Yes, I do follow her. And mum says,

gosh, she meal preps, doesn't she? Oh, does she? And she does like a week at a time. Yuck! And mum was like... Oh, no, it gets a bit mad near the end day. Like day three max, and then I'm out. Because they was like. Oh, no, it gets a bit mad near the end, eh? Like day three max and then I'm out. Because they were like, come day three or day four. I'm like, I don't want to eat that again. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can freeze stuff. Hey, it's repetitive. It's the same. You've got to have a bit of variety. Variety's the spice of life. Yeah. Well, a study of 2,000 adults found on average, those that do the grocery shopping for their household,

$248 a week on weekly groceries, one in 10 saying they spend upwards of $500. And then with all of that combined, $63 of weekly groceries, $3,000 all up a year is wasted. Oh, wow. So that's, you know, your soggy, your limp celery, broccoli, it all just turns to like a black mush. Your like wet bag of spinach.

Yeah. It gets that seepage. Yeah. You put your hand in there, you're like, maybe there's a couple of crisp leaves somewhere in here, but you know, you just get a finger full of bloody moist muck. Yeah. It's hard.

Because then, you know, like you sort of plan it out for a bit and you've got all the right groceries. Because I hate going to the supermarket too many times a week. Yeah. I like having it there and getting excited. Well, you've got everything there to cook a meal and then your friends are like, do you want to go out tonight? And you're like, yes.

And then you're like, oh, and then that food goes off. And you're like, well, I guess that's wasted now. What was I supposed to do? Yeah. Garbage soup, guys. Garbage soup. Roasted chuck. Chickens.

We feed it to the chickens. Not meat, obviously. Yeah. Oh, my God. Chickens Garbage soup, guys. Garbage soup. Roasted chicken. Chickens. We feed it to the chickens. Not meat, obviously. Yeah. Oh, my God. And a worm bin. Oh, you get a worm bin. Yeah. Well, a lot of councils are doing the compost bins.

Yeah, yeah. They are. Which is good. But you probably just chuck your plastics in there anyway because you just think they all end up in the same place. They do. It's a big conspiracy. It's a huge conspiracy.

It's a huge. I saw that thing on, what was it? Was it Fair Go? They did that thing on the council recycle bins. That's public bins. Yeah, waste of time. Yeah, but if you compost your own compost, you know where it's going.

Don't put plastic in there. No. No, it's all in the same place. No, no, it's in your backyard. Yeah, it's all in the same place. No, no, you've totally misunderstood this. And Vaughan just pours petrol on it and just sets it on fire in his backyard.

I don't do that. Next on the show. The truth's coming out about everyone. Next on the show, I've got an STI update. No personal one. Oh, I was going to say. But maybe you want to touch on it. Results are in. They're next.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. STI News. Oh, different STI. Kia ora, I'm Hayley. This is an STI update. If people want to know, I'm good. You're good. You're good.

Yep. It's been a while, but she's good. She's good. She's good to go. As far as I know. Yep. You're good. Yep. It's been a while, but she's good. She's good. She's good to go. As far as I know. Yep. You know? Do you know once when I was getting your classic pap smear,

she said, shall I do an STI check while I'm down here? And I said, no need. I've been with my partner for a long time. She said, I have heard that so many times. And the amount of times.

Oh, yes. That's so sad. I was back with a little clap clap, and it's like, how did that happen? Reveals a little cheater. Wow. And so were you like, okay, do it.

Swab away, swab away. While you're down there, you might as well. Yeah. Well, apparently there's a rising number of STIs in seniors. Oh, okay. Yeah. Now this is across Canada, but there's like raucous news out of Canada. We've talked to people that work in rest homes.

Oh, yeah. Here in New Zealand in the past on the show, and they say it's out of control what they get up to. Yeah, it's sex city. They're just sleeping around everywhere, everyone. Randy. Why wouldn't you? Also, if you're that old and you're in a home,

a bit of chlamydia is not going to hurt. Or might burn a bit when you're gay. I mean, you've lasted to, what, 80 or 90? Yeah. Just get it. You'll be fine. Doesn't even matter. So apparently they're going to be starting like a new

sort of education for old people to go like, this is how you, do you remember how to use condoms? Because I guess for a lot of them, maybe they're newly widowed or they're newly single, like their husband or their wife's died and they haven't

had a new partner in, I don't know, 60, 70 years. Or they can't remember who they slept with. Or who they're in a relationship with. Or who they've promised themselves to. I'll have a bit of that. Oh, you dirty old bastard. In just Canada

alone, the STI rates in seniors over 65 have risen by 267% for chlamydia, 340% for syphilis and 388% for gonorrhea. Which, by the way, scientists have just discovered,

well, kind of clarified that you can get gonorrhea from kissing. And now medical experts are trying to change the, I don't know, way that they sort of. Which one's gonorrhea? Wait, so now I've got to put the dental dam over the face. Yeah, you've got to get the cling wrap out over the whole face.

Okay, right. Which one's gonorrhea? I don't know. The one that's really hard to spell, like diarrhea. Yeah, yeah. It's G-O-N-O-R-R-H-O-E-A? Oh, I don't know. Let's give it a Google.

It's easy to catch and easy to treat. So wait, it must be in your mouth. Gonorrhea. Because can't you get chlamydia of the mouth? You can get them in the mouth, yeah. You get thrush in the mouth. Yeah, oh no, I'm thinking of thrush. Good Lord.

Bacterial infection. It's bacterial. It's a diplodocus. Diplodocus bacteria. So it is a dinosaur. Diplodocus. Can a bit of Listerine get rid of that? Yeah.

Gargle a bit of Listerine? So they're saying that because it can be transmitted via oral sex. Oh, yep. Okay. That you can get in your mouth. You can get it from kissing. If you got it in your mouth from some genies, and then the genies are in your mouth,

and then the mouth goes on another mouth, your mouth now has gone awry. And if you're pregnant and you get it, you can give it to the baby on the way out. Oh, God. Why don't we just, why doesn't everyone just get it? And we can all just have it.

No, no, no. What are you talking about? No, no, no, no. Yeah, just like the COVID approach. We're like, ah, let's just let it spread. Burning sensation while peeing, a white, yellow or green discharge from the peeing pool or

swollen testicles. Goodness. This is the male specific ones. Well, I think people put a lot of effort into educating young people around STIs but now it's the elderly that are getting the, probably the singing group that come around

they're like, Garneria Garneria Can you imagine going into a rest home as an educational singing group? Oh I know. To educate. You're gonna get some yellow, white or green discharge Garneria Garneria

Garneria Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey Galleria. Galleria. Galleria. Silly little pole today. How do you like your eggs? Oh, I had eggs every day for the four-day weekend. You had them every day? Every day. Scrambled eggs on toast. I convert it from poach to scramble.

Because for me, poach is like, if you get it wrong, it sucks. Yeah, yeah. Runny whites, ugh, overcooked yolks, disgusting. And it's separate, so you just eat the white and the thing. Now I'm scramble, full scramble. And you also

get more. You get more eggs. It feels like you're getting more eggs. Yeah, it does. It definitely is. They're putting way more than two eggs on your big scramble. You reckon they're. It feels like you're getting more eggs. Yeah, it does. It feels like you're getting more eggs. They're putting way more than two eggs on your big scramble. You reckon they're putting three eggs in a scramble? At least. I reckon they're mixing it down with three. The price of eggs,

they're mixing it down with more stuff. Nah. Yeah, but that stuff is cool things like cream. Cream, yeah. Yeah, butter. Yum. Well, how do you like your eggs? Last place on 12% fried.

Yeah, I rock fried eggs. I grew up on fried eggs. Those were the only eggs. I do it lazy. Yeah. What are those, Eric? A few like Asian dishes where you put a fried egg on top and that's just the absolute icing on the cake. Or a ramen. We had fried eggs last night. Drop a fried egg on top

of a ramen. Or soft boiled. Soft boiled. Do we put boiled as an option? No, boiled egg on top of a ramen. Or soft-boiled. Soft-boiled. Did we put boiled as an option? No, boiled wasn't an option. Yum. Shame on us. Shame. Second most popular on 35%, scrambled.

53% poached. Still rocking it. You've got to trust your poacher. Is it because people think poached is healthier? No, it's just I feel like it's just cafe culture. It also totally is. If you've seen my scrambled eggs, they're 80% cheese. Yeah, I put a lot of cheese. A lot of butter in the pan to start.

Then you just mix up all the eggs. Then you put that in. When it starts to turn, you dump so much grated cheese in there that you're about to cause a dairy shortage. And then it all settles up all gooey and stuff. And every time I do it for my mum, she's like, how do you do it? I said, mum, the secret is so much cheese that you would say, Vaughn, that's too much cheese.

Well, no, boomers love to water down their eggs with milk. Yeah, we grew up on a milky egg. Yeah, and it doesn't work. A milky scramble. Is it Gordon Ramsay's eggs or Jamie Oliver's that is like all the cream? Creme fraiche. That's Gordon Ramsay. That's Gordon Ramsay.

And those are amazing eggs. But you've got to have all the cream. Creme fraiche that's Gordon Ramsay. That's Gordon Ramsay. And those are amazing eggs but you gotta have all the ingredients. Don't try to shortcut it. It's gotta be that creme fraiche. Am I saying that correctly? Yeah but I never have

creme fraiche. No. No one ever has creme fraiche. But you can use cream right? No. Oh okay. No.

No. Not if you want them like Ramsay does. Okay. I've done it once. And it's heaven. Custody. It was really good. God I want eggs and I just ate eggs. So po I've done it once. And it's heaven. Custody. It was really good.

God, I want eggs and I just ate eggs. So poached is the winner there. Here's some feedback. Benjamin says scrambled, the only way to make

delicious scrambled tofu. Oh, he's walked. Oh no. Vaughan's walked off because he said tofu. We did not ask! We did not ask how people wanted their tofu!

No, he's... After over 20 years of broadcasting, Vaughn has finally quit. You dumb idiot! You dumb fool! Next, toad back. Toad doesn't mix with eggs. You've said that word too many times. No, it's not.

It's egg-free. So you scramble tofu and then you pretend. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You want to slam your microphone down and stomp around? I'm doing it. Stomp around for a bit. Stomp around for a bit, stupid. Sweaty, no.

His name was Ben. Tofu was not X. You dumb idiot. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. We don't want to hear from Darwin. I'm from the tofu committee. You know what? I will slap you.

It's laps. I miss Anna. How does that? That's what I'llaps. I miss Anna. How does that... That's what I'll say. I miss Anna. Anna wouldn't have any of this tofu. Anna wouldn't have a tofu scramble. She wouldn't have done that.

Let's ring her and see what she's doing. Australia can't be going that well. Let's get her back. I've got a vegetarian girlfriend, and tofu scramble sucks. Yeah, tofu scramble sucks. It's trash. It's because you don't get the softness. It's like fundamentally a different texture

Turn your mic off No it's not Shedlake Pyjamas, you want to get on this tofu debate? I just love a fried egg I don't know what else to say Doesn't know how to cook Michelle says Why is it so hard to choose?

I chose poached but the feral inside me Loves a fried egg. Yes. Gareth says, select poached, but it really depends on my mood on the day. Scrambled for quick and easy, fried for the bacon, buddy, and poached for when I'm feeling fans and I've got time. To be fair, I eat eggs in every iteration. Yeah.

Oh, Georgia said, found a new Gordon Ramsay-style scrambled egg and I've never looked back. Oh, she's obviously the cream fresh one. Cream fresh. She knows. She knows about the fresh. Scrambled for brekkie every work day because I'm so speedy and the total tyrant will eat it, but the poachies is a weekend treat.

I don't know if I could do eggs every day. I had eggs this morning and it's full on. I did like egg, baked egg cups. But it's a good protein start, isn't it? Yeah, it really is. Oh, okay. Truly is, bra isn't it? It fills you up. Yeah, it really is. Oh, okay. Truly is, brah. Protein start fills you up. Oh, God, are you going to do some burpees next?

Yes, I am. Shut up. You and Benjamin the Tofu Scramble can get in the bin. Oh. Brugere replies. Brugere. Brugere. How would you say it? Is it posh Bridget?

Posh Bridget. B-R-I-E-G-E. Bridget. Bridget. Bridge. Oh, no, because it says underneath. Bridget. Bridget.

Bridget. Okay. Bonjour. Creme, without a doubt. So you've gone for a chocolate egg. Cream egg. Come for a cream egg've gone for a chocolate egg. Creamy egg. Come for a creamy egg. Fair call.

We didn't put that as an option, and again, shame on us. Still better than scrambled tofu. Carlo says, I closed my eyes and voted, so I'm not sure which one I picked. I just love eggs. Oh, yeah, good. This is by no way brought to you by the Egg Council. Big egg, no.

They've got bigger fish to fry, bigger eggs to fry. Yeah. They've got a horrendous shortage of eggs on their problem and a huge price spike. If they wanted to send us some eggs, though, we wouldn't say no. Anna says scrambled equals kids, fried equals uni, poached equals civilised age. Oh, okay. I don't have time to get out of water, a small water bath. Also a pain to make poached eggs.

Yeah, it is, and I'm not great at it. You've really got to watch them like a whore. Yeah, you keep poking them. But don't pop the yolk. Be very careful with the yolk. All right. Eggs, eggs, eggs. That's today's Silly Little Pops.

Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. This is the 24th year that Reader's Digest have put together this list, this survey, if you will, of New Zealand's most trusted brands. I thought this was an old school Reader's Digest thing from when people actually bought Reader's Digest. Do you not buy it? No. I don't get any.

Oh, wow. I mean, I will give Reader's Digest something. They were the first of the magazines to be like, we don't actually need to be that big. Nah. I mean, I will give readers something. They were the first of the magazines to be like, we don't actually need to be that big. Yes. We can be an A5 size.

Beautiful size. Always in a waiting room. Always. The reader's digest. See how big the newspaper used to be. Huge.

Wild, eh? Oh my God. Impossible to handle. Like, without the aid of a desk. A1. Yeah. Yeah.

Massive. Massive pieces of newsprint. A1. Yeah. Yeah. Ridiculous. And newsprint's got no buddy strength to it. It folds so easier. A light breeze would turn your paper inside out. Terrible. Terrible. So they survey, sorry, about 2,000 New Zealanders of all mixed

demographics, asking them to rate the levels of trust in well-known brands. They released a list of 20. I'm going to plough through the first ones. Okay. 20, Huntley & Palmer's, Weber, Yates, Sleepyhead, Dilmar, Fisher & Paykel, Panadol, Arnott's, Anker, Dettol. That's 11 to 20.

We ain't over with they.

Let them come out when they're ready. Don't rush. Like cheese. Good things take time. I reckon it was like a sort of Brokeback Mountain situation where they had the wives, where they would come together to make cheese. And love.

And then make love. Yeah. Again, this is not our place to out them. And love. And then make love. Yeah. Again, this is not our place to out them. No, it's not. They were totally. I know they were, but let them. They were totally doing it. Let them tell us when they're ready.

They've done a bit of downsizing. They have. That's all right. And I think the chalk bar inside the chalk bar has definitely got smaller. Oh, 100%. It's smaller. And where'd the coconut go? Because when I was a kid, you couldn't even get it in my mouth.

And now I can get it all the way in. That's because you've got a bigger mouth. And you've practiced. Are you sure? But I trust. I like them, but I don't trust them. Yeah, same. I don't trust them.

I like them. They're a big company. You wouldn't put them on number seven of New Zealand's most trusted brands? Not me. I don't know. Number six, Toyota. Oh, yeah. Great car.

Yeah. You'll look ridiculous. People are there to see me. They'll accept it. Has Minor 10 got neck fans? Yeah, they got neck fans. It's ridiculous. I've never seen them. Yeah, they're cool.

Anyway, but I went in there to buy a neck fan. They didn't have neck fans in Stop and now Chosen Minor 10, but what they did have was microwave egg poachers. Oh, yeah. You know, those little thingies. And you know that I try to poach eggs at work by putting them in a cup and microwaving them. Not anymore.

is our number one spot, Whittaker's. Yes. Oh, okay. We trust them. They've released a couple of dungas. And that damaged the trust for me. But Hazella.

I was going to say Hazella was crap. It had no texture. Are you kidding me? Hazella is amazing. It needed some kind of... But they've got a flavour for everyone, right? At least ten flavours for everyone. Something for everyone. Even the trash people like you, your jelly tips and your bloody hundreds and thousands. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow. Yuck. I'm just saying something for everyone. Or a Nick calling me trash or a Nick fan. It's not trash. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. From the self-driving ZM think tank,

as perks. I call them human perks. Human perks. Rights. Decided by the United Nations, the Human Perks Commission. Yeah. So you've got to live there four years?

Yeah. Something like that. And then it's just way easier now. Because before that, you couldn't even get like, you couldn't even get like, if you were hard, like maybe you lost your job, you couldn't get a benefit. Yeah. My brother's been there for like 13 years and he's not a citizen.

Yeah, you get like nothing basically. He'll be able to now. He won't. He's Kiwi hard. He doesn't want to. Yeah, but does he want to retire there? Nah. No, no, no, he'll come home.

He'll come home, right? Well, it's been 13 years. I'm just saying, I don't think he's coming home. He was just going to have a look. You and I have very different opinions than our brothers living in Australia. I want him back. You don't want yours to come back? Mine should stay there. Yeah.

You want yours to come back? Yes should stay there. Yeah. You want yours to come back? Yes. Ah, but it's going to be easier. But I'm like, hey, if you're turning your back on this cute little acapulco in the Southern Pacific, here's the top six things you'll have to give up if you want to be an Australian.

Number six, Whittaker's. Yeah. You have to eat that yucky Australian chocolate. Well, we just mentioned the most trusted brand yeah exactly you can't have it yeah you can't have any of ours

and we won't bring blocks over when we come visit no we won't no no number five on the list the top six the things you'll have to

give up if you want to be an Aussie you can't support the Black Ferns anymore yeah good they're the jewel in our rugby crown at the moment

but it's so cool to support the Black Ferns I know it's so cool to support the Blacks. I know, it's so cool to support the Blacks. Yeah, well, you've got to support the other team. The Aussie Dingos. The Aussie Dingadoos. The Dingadoos, the Aussie Dingadoos. Yeah.

Good luck supporting the Dingadoos. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six things you'll have to give up if you want to be an Aussie. That honey you're eating. It better not be manuka honey. Oh, no. What's the honey like in Australia?

Pooh is terrible. It's just, it's literally bee poohs. Yeah. It's eucalyptus. Oh, yuck. It'll be a tangy. Minty tangy, yeah.

It clears your airways. Yeah. But that's not what you want from your honey. No. You want to soothe a manuka, soothe an antibacterial property

of the manuka. Well, you can't have that. Well, you can't have that. No, you can't have that anymore. Number three on the list of the top six things you like to give up if you want to be an Aussie. What's that wine you're drinking? It better not be Sauvignon Blanc. Oh, my God. I spent some time in the Sav region.

Oh, you did? Yeah. Marlborough. Do you know what they call it when they're getting ready to process all the Sav grapes? The Sav silly, silly salve salve. The salvalanche. Oh my God, I love that. Because there's a salvalanche of...

I love salve. Good. Of grapes. Love a salve. Good stuff. Number two on the list of the top six things you'll have to give up if you want to be an Aussie. You'll no longer have access to all of our best in the world per capita records. Yeah, no.

We nailed it. We got it because we're a small little scrappy little fighter. Olympics, the Commonwealth Games, always a head per cap. More per cap. Best marching team in the world. That's us. And number one on the list of the top six things you'll have to give up if you want to be an Aussie, because I've been hearing from them lately.

Yeah. They want them Fijos. Well, you're not allowed to Fijos. Oh, no. You're not allowed to Fijos. Get lost. Get lost. Scram, get out of here.

I don't know why they can't grow Fijos. Surely their climate, there're not allowed to fee-joers. Oh, no. You're not allowed to fee-joers. Get lost. Get lost. Scram, get out of here. I don't know why they can't grow fee-joers. Surely their climate, there's parts of Australia with a climate order. But I tell you what, no fee-joers for you. No. No fee-joers for you. That's today's sub-6. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Now, Uber's under fire again for an alleged happenings. People are saying that they're charging users more if they have a low phone battery. There's been a small investigation into this. Okay. Small. Done in Belgium. And they have said that they have, like lots of people have had like two identical requests

to go from one place to another, same place to the same place, yet Uber charged 6% more for the journey that was made on a smartphone with only 12% battery remaining. And then the battery that had more was charged less. Is that because you're panicking? You're like, okay, well, my phone's about to die. I've just got to take this over.

So you think it's a desperation thing, whereas I thought it might be admin related because if your battery dies halfway through the ride home and then. Now they can still finish the ride. Yeah, I know that you fall down a hole and disappear and then you're a missing person. And then it's on them. I dropped them off, but last seen. Your phone was last detected in that Uber. And your phone's also not going so you can't tip.

Yeah, you can't tip. You can't immediately rate so you probably won't do it in the end. Yeah, because in 2016, so this has been a little rumour for a while now, there was a head

of economic research at Uber said that the company did find that people with lower battery levels were more willing to pay for surge pricing but they deny

that the company has any ability to see your phone's battery. But everyone's like, there's heaps of people on TikTok being like, look, this is true. This is happening. Right. How would they be able to see your battery? Who can see your battery?

Well, when you sign up to the app, you give it all kinds of permissions, right? So it can see contacts or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But battery? I've never seen that. Yeah. Unless it falls under a wider umbrella of something.

Well, nobody goes through the T's and C's, do they? Utilities. I mean, maybe app developers would know if you can see that. I'm not too sure. But I've been literally... People are sceptic. I remember opening my phone. I don't know what my battery level was at.

We were going somewhere and I was like, oh my God, the Uber's like 30 something dollars and normally it's like 18. And then my friend, the Uber's like 30 something dollars and normally it's like 18. And then my friend opens up Uber, we're literally standing right next to each other and his one was like 22 or something. We're like, oh, well you just order it

and we'll split it. What's your battery at the moment on your phone? Should we put this to the test? Well, everybody's battery should be full. It was 93, we're all full. It's overnight.

No, I don't charge mine at the moment because I don't have a bedroom. When do you charge your phone? Just sort of whenever I can, haphazardly. Oh, I don't like that at the moment because I don't have a bedroom. When do you charge your phone? Just sort of whenever I can, haphazardly. Oh, no, I don't like that. Let's go from work to the Auckland airport. Let's go to the airport. But what's your phone battery on?

Mine's on 55%. Well, see, that's not enough. That's still plenty. Mine's on 93%. No, I'm going to panic you. Okay, my Uber X. We're going to, yeah. Which airport?

Auckland. What do you mean, which airport? Crush Church. No, I'm going to panic you. My Uber X. We're going to Which airport? Auckland. Domestic or international? Crush Church. Domestic or international? Smartass. It doesn't matter. I just put in the airport. No, I just put Raymory Drive. So mine's 54.16. Mine's 48.14. But I pay for that Uber 10% Uber One.

What's that? I got a little subscription. You pay like a small subscription, you get 10% off all your rides and your Uber Eats and stuff. Because I use it so much. Because of your Uber Eats. Mine is $45.81. How is yours $48?

And mine's $54. That's in an Uber X. Yes. My Uber X is $48.14. Tells me at the bottom, public transport's only $2.90. Karwin's done hers. She's 54 and Jared's 53.

How are we winning this out? Well, this is BS. So you're getting charged more. Why am I getting charged more? Is it because I'm cuter? No, it's because you're sloppy. Why am I sloppy? What, because I'm a sloppy cabana?

Oh, yeah. Wait, is my Uber rating? Let's go back to our ratings. Wait, how do you get your ratings? Do you think it's on the ratings? Main page. 4.87. Oh, I page 4.87 oh i'm 4.89 i'm 4.82 because of the chunny the chunny i'm actually better than both of you but i'm well that's why you're paying more they think you're blindly loyal they know i'm a real zoomie i'll cheer around but that was like six dollars more how much was it again

so that's pretty worked out through the algorithm that you don't have a car We've got options Oh my god, do you think? That worked out that you don't have a car Unbelievable Whereas we're just like But it's like, you know, some airline websites Or some websites

If you browse certain things Or, you know, you buy certain things and they can work out that they can charge you more for certain things like airfares and accommodation. Yeah, yeah, totally. Because they just know that you're on a holiday. So, yeah, exactly. That's so crazy.

Well, I don't know. I guess that shows if you were the group of friends, everybody whip out your phone and just go with the cheapest one. No, because then that person... Has to pay. Has to pay. No, because you would split, right? Yeah, then you just split.

Tell me how splitting works. Yeah, because if I say... I accept the ride, but then I can be like, oh, I've accepted it, this is the price, now I'm going to split. Yeah, and then you just... It does it with your friends and they accept in the app. Okay, gotcha. Yeah.

The price is just an estimate too, isn't it? Nah. Nah, once you accept it, it does it with your friends and they accept in the app. Okay, gotcha. Yeah. The price is just an estimate too, isn't it? Nah. I thought it was locked in. Once you accept it, it was a contract sort of vibe. Unless something goes terribly wrong. Well, I guess you guys

just from now on getting the Ubers. I guess, Shani. Yeah, we are on the Ubering. Oh, I also was trying to, I had the company, I don't pay for my own Uber, I always use the company one.

I do all mine on the company. And that's why they keep saying, who's catching these Ubers? Don't they want me to get home safe? Yeah. Play Zed M's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play Zed M's. Gen Zed, hey, you've got a friend in me.

Do you? Every generation's got their bad eggs, and I don't think the bad eggs should represent the whole tray. Okay. Oh, I totally agree. Totally agree. I know some great Gen Zs. I know some great Gen Zs.

I can't think of their names off the top of my head. I know some great boomers. I know some great Gen Xs. I know some phenomenal millennials. Yep. You know, everybody's got their good parts and their bad parts. What generation are 12-year-olds? Alpha.

Those are your kids would be Generation Alphas. I don't olds? Alpha. Those are your kids who would be generation alphas. I think they're generation alpha. More on them after 8 o'clock. Yeah. Tell you what. I had a hat. I had a bloody enough of the gen alphas. Well, this isn't kind of a gen alpha. It just dips its toe into gen

Z as they've entered the workforce. Ah, yes. Good for them. Resume building. Shannon. Shannon's a Gen Zed-er. A Gen Zed-er. It's her agenda. No, Karwin's a Gen Zed-er too. No, she's a Zillennial. Karwin's a Zillennial.

Oh. A Millennial Zillennial. She's a bit older. She's already thinking about chest wrinkles, whereas Shannon let pyjamas. Doesn't have to think about it yet. Not yet thinking about chest wrinkles. Yeah.

Hey, Shannon. Yeah, it's back of mind. Back of mind. Tight and smooth. Me and Karwin, every day. You can't say tight and smooth. You cannot say tight and smooth. I can.

You cannot say tight and smooth about the youngest member of the show. If Vortiga said to Gerard, he's tight and smooth. Her decolletage, not her in general. If I was to say that she was tight and smooth, can you imagine tight and smooth straight up to HR? It's amongst the girls. It's amongst the girls. It's amongst the girls. Oh, so it's gendered now.

I've shared a room with Hayley. Okay? We share things. We have. Once I lent some little undies to her. It was hot. More on that later. She needs some undies.

It was hot. Again. Wow. But it's amongst the gals. It's the gals. Right. It's the gals. Regardless if you're tight and smooth or wrinkled and hairy.

Loose and wrinkled. Resume Builder asked a whole lot of people in managerial positions, different industries, about the different generations and which were the hardest to work with. 49% of people declared Gen Z were the most challenging to work with. 49% of people declared Gen Z were the most challenging to work with. 79% said they were the toughest generation to even have in the workplace. Oh, wow.

Yeah. What, did they say why? Yes. Because they're entitled. What things don't say? So they don't say that. I feel like they wanted to say that. And I also feel like... They don't have the wrinkles, right? Yeah, they don't have the wrinkles and they're like, look at my décolletage. They really wanted to say... You can't say anything around them. You can't. No one's saying that. And I also feel like... They don't have the wrinkles, right? Yeah, they don't have the wrinkles and they're like, look at my décolletage. They really wanted to say you can't say anything around them.

You can't. Yes! All these managers. You can't say bloody anything. You can't tell the young girl she's smooth and bloody... What was it? What did I say? Tight and smooth. Tight and smooth. I can't even bloody call. I can't even tell the insurance. No, you can't, Gary.

Definitely Gary can't. That's why the..., you can't, Gary. Definitely Gary can't. That's why we do have someone who works here called Gary who may have felt particularly targeted by that. Oh, I'm sorry. No, I didn't mean now. Also that Gary can't either. No. So that's never said.

Yes, right. There's never, but you know that's the big problem older generations have with Gen Z. You can't even give them a smack on the arse anymore. Back in my day, you took your smack on the arse. You can't even call them legs anymore. G'day legs.

The silent generation used to love smacking my arse when I was an intern back in the 70s. Back in the early 70s. So they don't say that. But they said apparently one of the biggest things is their lack of technological skills. They know how to do what they do, but they don't know anything else. Not good around an Excel spreadsheet. They're about to TikTok you up.

Yeah, but Excel, no, not so much. And they think because they've spent so much time on computers that they'd be handier, but apparently not so much. Because our resident, Jen Zia, she did struggle with the spreadsheet to start, didn't she? What? Remember, there was some sort of splitting and the formatting issues. You're not good with the formatting of the cells.

No, you know, I know my strengths. Yeah, exactly. Spelling as well. Spelling, we've had a few spelling mistakes. Yeah, we have, yeah. Some of us are not so... But, like, social media's looking good, right? Yeah, looking great. Yeah, we have, yeah. Wow. But like, social media's looking good, right? Yeah, looking great.

Yeah, great. Some spelling. We're working on that. A couple of spelling issues. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. It is time for the impossible phone-in topic. A topic that we think is so impossible, we'll be lucky to get a call.

Yeah. Oh, so lucky, if we do. Now, this is where I admit that I didn't bring up the article. That's all right. I'll stall for some time and tell you about the time I won a year's supply of fuel. How much do you think a year's supply of fuel is? The year was 2003. I won a year's supply of fuel. Did you year was 2003. I want a year's supply of fuel.

Did you? Did you? Yep. Did you abuse it? I said it three times and you guys didn't appreciate it until I said it the fourth time about I want a year's supply of fuel. On what? I think enough time's passed.

I'm not going to say what petrol station did this, but my friend worked at a petrol station and you had to fill out a form every time you spent $20 on fuel. So I just went and hung out with her at work one day and every time people put $20 of fuel in their car but didn't fill out the entry form, I put an entry form. Did you? And then a little while later, yeah, I got a call

and it was like, congratulations, Mr. Smith, you've won a year's supply of fuel. We'll be sending you a card loaded with the credit. $40 a week? Back in the day, 2003? 2003 was the year. Well, $5,000 of fuel all up for the year? Do you reckon that was what it was?

It wasn't that. But how did they monitor it? Because if I won a lifetime supply of fuel, I'd be like, guys, do you want fuel? But this wasn't lifetime. This was a year. A year's supply of fuel. How much? It was the equivalent of $48 a week.

It was $2,500. $48 a week? That would have done you back then though, wouldn't it? It wouldn't do me now though. But the thing was, it didn't have to be fuel. You could buy anything on the station. Chukis! Yeah, yeah. So that was the thing. I'd always get a get a, um, an E2.

Do you remember E2? Yeah. The drinks. Oh my god, E2! Get myself an E2 and a brass magazine. You can stop padding now. I've got my article. Give yourself an FHM, get a brass, get whatever the weird little New Zealand version of those magazines were,

and I'd be full up the starlet and I'd be away. Way you go. Well, I really, it's just a simple BuzzFeed article though, but people, 36 people shared what it's like to win a lifetime supply of something. And the general vibe of it all is that it's never a lifetime supply.

Some of the stories. One person won a lifetime supply of M&M's. They sent 52 bags all at once and said, there you go. A life, like one bag a year. One bag a day for a year. That's not a lifetime supply. No.

No. I won a lifetime supply of donuts at a local bakery and it lasted two years until the original owner died and his a-hole son took over the business and reneged the offer. My stepdad won a lifetime supply of WD-40.

Like the water displacement 40. Like CRC. They sent him four cans. ThatC, yeah. They sent him four cans. That's not enough. They sent my dad four cans. My dad died in 2019 and my mum still has two of the cans. I suppose you don't need that much.

They weren't wrong, were they? But that's the thing about WD-40. It can do anything. Do you know you should use it? I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Clean your bathroom glass with it. Really? If you're going to shower with a glass, it takes a little secret. Clean your bathroom glass with it. Really? If you're going to shower with a glass, it takes a little bit of a rubbing,

but the water won't stick to it, so you won't get soap scabbing. Everything just slides straight off. But it'll sting. Water displacement 40. It'll sting like a workshop. I actually quite like the smell. I like the smell. Oh, dear, yeah.

It reminds me of my dead grandfather. Aw. Well, a lot of people were getting lifetime supplies of places that then ran out, like a lifetime gym membership, and then the gym closed down. One free movie rental from Blockbuster every week. Well, you know how that went. Oh, like a lifetime gym membership and then the gym closed down. One free movie rental from Blockbuster every week. Well, you know how that went. Yeah, that didn't go well. So we want to know, as our impossible phoner,

if you were ever the winner of a lifetime supply of something. And we want to know if that panned out into a lifetime supply. Maybe you're still reaping the benefits. Maybe you're still getting a, you know, packet of biscuits a week or something since you were a kid. Paddle pops, they used to always do lifetime supplies.

Are we going to do a year supply? Should we include a year as well? No, because that's very possible. You've already heard a story of someone who won a year supply. No, I want a lifetime. You want a lifetime. So have you ever? Is there anybody listening?

That's all it had to be marketed as. Yeah. That, like, four cans, a lifetime supply and it's four cans. T's and C's, it says it as. Yeah. That, like, four cans, a lifetime supply and it's four cans. Yeah, T's and C's, it says it all. It might only be one block of chocolate a year for the rest of your life. Remember when Charlie Bucket won a lifetime supply of chocolate and he had to run a sort of whole company? Yeah, the chocolate factory.

He had to give up his childhood to become a CEO of a massive chocolate company. Wonga dodged a bullet there because the Oompa Loompas unionised the next year. And boy, did he have some unsafe working conditions. Well, we don't see Wonka chocolate that much anymore, do we? No. Yeah, there's a fence up by the chocolate river now too. Yeah, there is. Oh my God, because that should never have been unfenced.

How do you guess this, man? You ruined that. That should never have been unfenced. It's the impossible phone-in topic. We want to know if you've ever won a lifetime supply of anything. There's a thread online that's popping off. People are sharing their stories. And most of the time, not a lifetime supply. It's not that much, is it, normally?

Usually they just send you a big old crate of something and be like, that'll do. Any more than that, you're being ridiculous. Although, would you want a lifetime supply of food of any kind? You wouldn't, right? If you want a lifetime supply of Whittakers. Eggs. Chicken thighs.

Eggs. Eggs. But chocolate, you wouldn't want that. That's bad news. Dangerous. Dangerous. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a while there where fast food outlets were giving out gold cards to people in the media.

And it just literally meant you could go through and just be like, with a limit of each order had to be like under $80. Now, that's somebody who will remain nameless, that no longer works at radio, put on 28 kilograms. Yeah, that would be to me as well. Because every time they're in the car, they're like, why not? Yeah, it's free. It's free.

Why wouldn't you? Oh, my gosh. Yum. Hey, not against the idea. Show sponsor McDonald's. It is not. It is not impossible. Georgia, good morning.

Good morning. How are you? Good. Now, this is your granddad that won a lifetime supply of something. Yeah. In his early 20s, he was playing a card game. And he won. And he won a Lifetime Flyer rugby ticket to a specific stadium in Cape Town.

And he got two tickets every go. And he had that kind of helped him until he was 91 when he passed away. Wow. Wow. And he won two tickets every go to any game. And so how many games do you reckon he went to all up? A lot. And also the family took turns you reckon he went to all up? Oh, a lot. And we also, the family took turns because he didn't have to be present.

Oh, my God. He just had to bring the tickets. Oh, wow. Oh, my God. That's a good one. That's like, yeah, people do the season passes, but that's lifetime pass. Yeah, see, I'd like a lifetime supply to like an event or something or a place like that. That'd be good.

Yeah. Like imagine getting two tickets to every Spark Arena show, whatever it was. It was amazing. It was honestly amazing and the family are all, except for me,

but all the whole family are rugby nuts so they absolutely love it. So I think they've seen the All Blacks, the Springboks, like anyone play because it's quite a good stadium

in Cape Town. After he passed away, you shouldn't have told them and just like kept using his tickets. Isn't he like 120 now? Yeah, he's doing well. shouldn't have told them and just like keep using his tickets. They'd be like, isn't he like 120 now? Yeah, he's doing well. He's doing well.

He's doing well. He is. He's trying. Georgia, thanks for your call. Rita, what did you want in a lifetime supply? Coffee pods. Of coffee pods?

Oh my God. How many do they give you? So we get 30 a month. Oh, wow. So a coffee a day. Yeah. And this is going to last forever. Apparently.

So I got it when I was working over in the UK. I'm not there anymore, so I get them sent to my auntie, but she gets to choose kind of what flavour she wants or if there's like a new profile, they send that that month. Oh, my God. If it seems that that month. Oh my God. As soon as you're not getting the coffee pods anymore,

you should try McCafe Coffee. Drive through and start your day with McCafe. Great things are brewing. Thank you, Vaughan. Thank you for working in the show sponsor there.

My pleasure. Thank you, Rita. It'd be good though having something that you use every day. Something that you genuinely like. Hell yeah.

I want a cheeseburger every day. Somebody said, I want a lifetime membership to the Arna Airlines lounge privileges. Oh. ANA, yeah. The airline went bankrupt.

Oh. No, they're still going, aren't they? ANA, is it Japan? ANA, Arna? I don't know how to say it. The Japan, the Japanese airline.

Well, they probably told you they went. Yeah, they're like, oh no. Sorry, horn. And you're like, oh, no. Sorry, hon. It's flying now, but I imagine maybe it did go bankrupt and it's got re. Do you think that's the situation? If something changes and there'll be causes.

They'll be causes. They'll be way out of it. Yeah. Bloody slippery little bastards. Yeah. Wow. Hmm? Yeah. I want a bastards. Yeah. Wow. Hmm? Yeah.

I want a lifetime supply of donuts. No good. Yeah, no. But did they say... No good. Did they say like one a day or one a week? What is it? They just say lifetime.

Yeah, maybe they just send you, yeah, a voucher. Or every time you go into the store, you can just have one a day. Yeah, what voucher. Or every time you go into the store, you can just have one a day. Yeah, what does lifetime mean? Because lifetime supply is different to an endless supply. Yeah, true. Yes. Lifetime, they can dictate how many you should have in a lifetime. Yes, that's what they would do.

It could be one a month. I'll have a donut a month. Till the day I die, I'll have a donut a month. Yeah, a month, good. But if you're just like, can't be bothered making my lunch today and the donut shop's on the way to work. I'll have a donut a month. Yeah, a month. Good. But like, if you're just like, can't be bothered making my lunch today and the donut shop's

on the way to work. It's free. I'm going to get a... Oh, I'm just going to get a plain one. Yeah, three days till payday. Donuts for lunch.

Donuts for dinner. Donuts for dinner. Make them work. Make them work. Any other lifetime supplies? Nah, lots of year supplies. Okay. I've been winning year supplies but that's not, lots of year supplies. Okay. No.

I've been winning year supplies, but that's not what the phone-up was about. No. But it's a game. The impossible phone-up has been proven. Very possible. Done it. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.

ZM, Fletchvorn and Hayley. It's seven minutes away from eight. I just saw, I've got to explain that. I just saw a meme and I had a picture of the Olsen twins and it said the Olsen twins always look like

one of them knows how you die and the other one knows when you die. How are they these days? I don't, skinny. Skinny, drinking far too much coffee

for their size and I'm guessing still smoking analogue cigarettes. They love a durry. They love a durry. Cigarettes. You got it dude. Anyway, I had the weekend I spent some time in the Marlborough region.

Beautiful region that I've not spent enough time in and I simply must get back to those sounds. Looking at your social maids, it just looks stunning. The Marlborough sounds are beautiful. I've been through there on the inter-islander and you're like, wow, wow. But I've never been and stayed.

Loch Mara, we went out to Loch Mara and stayed out there. Beautiful spot. Right. Beautiful spot. Can you drive there and you have to get a water taxi? No, there you can't. It's a water taxi where you can walk in from the Queen Charlotte Track. I'm not walking.

I'm not walking. I'm not walking. Sounds like far. Is it far? It's quite far. Okay, yeah. But it'd be one of those places you'd get to at the end of your long walk and you'd take off your boots and you'd have a hot shower

and you'd just go crazy. Yeah. Remember when we did that going down the Whanganui River? A couple of days in the shower and then you got one and you just go blah, blah, blah. You find all this energy, you think you're tired, then you go crazy. Beautiful spot.

Now, we were on a famil. We got shown the best spots and taken around by Destination Marlborough. Lovely weekend. Beautiful. But I did this thing that my wife finds frustrating. When we're being shown something, I ask heaps of questions. But I think it's nice because it's showing the, and I am genuinely interested in, like we met a winemaker

and I just bombarded him with questions. Question, question, question, question, question, question, question. You're inquisitive. You're an inquisitive young man. I'm an inquisitive little fellow. Little fellow. I like to inquire by drinking the wine. Drinking the wine.

And that for me forms the questions. Well, I'm being sent, after all of my questions, I'm being sent bottles from this year's harvest. Oh, my God. Are you going to share them with your friends? Oh, my God. That is so nice knowing how much we love wine. Because you are pesting this guy with questions.

Oh, my God. Peppering. Not pesting. Why did you say pesting? Peppering. I mean, I do this. And then I walked away and I said, shut up. My question's got us some lovely wine.

But I was, and she's like, you know, people are just like, this is the area and they like that you're interested in it. You haven't discovered a life hack. What do you think this is a life hack? Well, kind of, but she said, you're just showing extreme interest and you're asking questions and you actually listen and then ask them another question. And she's like, the weirdest part about it is that it's you doing it.

And I said, oh, I don't know, I get taken away. And then we went out for breakfast at a. And I said, oh, I don't know. I get taken away. And then we went out for breakfast at a cafe and I said, what is the sauce? Because the savoury mints tasted exactly like what my nana used to make. Yum, savoury mints. Savoury mints. Made from nana's age-old, 100-year-old family recipe.

Savoury mints. Frozen veg? I am just pestering. No, no veg. What? Put your veg in. This is savoury mints. No, savoury mints has to have frozen veg in it. Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta- your veg in. This is savoury mints. No, savoury mints has to have frozen veg in it. Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. Oh, my gosh. You make your own savoury mints. And I start asking 100 questions about the sauce and the recipe,

and I can't have the recipe, but why don't you take home a bottle of our sauce? Oh. Asking these questions. He wouldn't be out of his cafe. Oh, my God, what a pest. He's always just like, questions, questions, questions. Chocolate makers.

Questions, questions, questions, questions, questions, questions. What about that? I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Of course you are. Of course you're trying to learn. Then I walk over here and try this one and this one's different and this one's. And I'm like. Gobble, gobble.

Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble. Asking all these questions. Free chocolate. Yeah. And then we went for breakfast the next day at a place that roasted their own coffee, CPR, in Blenheim. And I was just like, how do you roast that? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Show me the fail.

And they were like, here you go. This is one that's, you know. Oh, my God. They just want to get rid of you. Yeah, I know. They're trying to work. And you're annoying the hell out of them. Yeah.

That's basically what my wife boiled it down to. She's like, there's two things. They're flattered that you're interested, but they also, like, get to a point, you can see where they get to a point where they're like, I've got work to do. Go to. She's like, there's two things. They're flattered that you're interested, but they also like get to a point, you can see where they get to a point where they're like, I've got work to do. Go away. They're like, go away.

Ask me a million more questions. I have so many questions around how Moochie constructs their dresses. So it would just be so, I'm so curious to know. Yeah, like that would be such an interesting thing to know. Is that an onshore thing or do they get it done in a third world country? Because I don't think you do want to ask too many questions if it's a third world country. Yeah, maybe not.

Play ZM's Fletch for the Daily. Play ZM. This weekend on the Monday, because we took Monday off, which was truly a blessing. You mean last weekend? Yeah. Yeah. God, time's gone fast.

It's Wednesday. Last weekend. Well, this was on the Monday. This was two days ago. This has been in the calendar for a while. It was called Surprise Day because me and two of our best friends, Tim and Ty, had planned a surprise for Aaron. Something that he's been asking us to do

and we've always been like, oh, it's a bit full on. Go to Rainbow's End. Wait, so Aaron in the calendar there said surprise day. Okay. No, no, he didn't have, Aaron doesn't have a calendar. He didn't have it in his calendar. No, no, no, no. Oh, okay, that's good.

Because if I saw something as a surprise day, he's always wanted to go. No, I played it so well, Vaughn. that's good. Because if I saw something that surprised her, No, no, no, no, no. She's always wanted to go. No, I played it so well for her. Okay, good. So surprised that was our calendars. It all come out. I had secret calls of my friends to make a plan for how we were going to do it.

They were going to be there. I'll drop a live location. Do, do, do, do. We're going to go. And I said to Aaron, who is so focused on the house at the moment, hard to get him to take a day off. I said to him,

look, instead of we're going to be painting this room, instead of doing that, why don't we spend the morning out and about and we'll go look at the shower glass, which is out south. No, it's not. It's not. Yeah, out south.

And we'll also go to the bathroom place because we need a toilet and a mirror and stuff. He was like, great. And he was like, so where are we going to go? And I was like, oh, don't worry about it. I've got it all covered. I've put together a bit of a itinerary. Well, you're a bit like, I'll drive.

I know. And because we've got the borrowed Audi at the moment, anytime'll drive. Were you a bit like, I'll drive? I know, and because we've got the borrowed Audi at the moment, anytime we drive anywhere, Aaron's always like, can I drive? And I'm always like, nope. So this time I was like, no, no you can't. And he was like, do you want me to put a map on? And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's fine. And I was going like, we've got to go, we've got to go, we've got to be there at 10.

He was like, are we meeting someone there? I was like, no, no, we just want to be there at opening, you know, for the bathrooms, to look at these toilets in case someone gets the toilet we want. Little does he know. Little does he know. Individually made, bespokely, of course. Yeah, they are.

Of course. We need to get the custom toilet. So then I'm driving outside. My heart is racing. I don't know why. It's just like pulling off the surprise and he's always so in control of situations that I was like, this is going to go terribly.

And then I like put on my map just to make sure I really knew where I was going. He's like, do you want me to put the map up on the screen? I was like, no, no, no, no, I've got it. I know where I'm going. I know where I'm going. And then I just kept asking him things to deter him from asking about where we were going first.

I said, if you could have any truck, what would you have? Like, I don't care. Started telling me about bloody Hiluxes and stuff. I was like, okay. Yeah, off you go. He was talking about trucks. And then he was texting his brother who he was meeting that stuff. Oh, right, okay. Yeah. Yeah, off you go. He was talking about trucks and then he was texting his brother who he was meeting that afternoon.

No, he wasn't. I'd already spoken to Rob about what they were going to do this afternoon. And he had his head down as I pulled into the Rainbow Zen car park. So he didn't even know. Then I parked the car. He's like, oh, we're here.

And I was like, yeah, yeah. He was like, where's the bathroom place? I was like, it's just over there. He opened it and he looked outside. He's like, Rainbow Zen. I was like, yeah, I know. It's weird, eh, to share a car park. He was like, oh, how bathroom place? I was like, it's just over there. He opened it up and he looked outside. He's like, well, Rainbow Zen. I was like, yeah, I know. It's weird, eh? They share a car park.

He was like, oh, how bizarre. Still doesn't know. Still doesn't know. How bizarre. No idea whatsoever. And then I said, because he's been wanting to go to Rainbow Zen for so long, I was like, well, you guys will get a photo by the sign. And I was like, go stand by the yellow stripe of the Rainbow Zen sign.

And then I was like, three, two, one. And then our friends came out from behind the sign and they grabbed him. And he was like, what? What's happening? And we surprised him. We went to Rainbow Zen sign. And then I was like, three, two, one. And then our friends came out from behind the sign and they grabbed him and he was like, what? What's happening? And we surprised him. We went to Rainbow Zen for the day

and he had no idea. So stupid. So stupid. It was so much fun. That's cool. So your fiance Aaron has wanted to go to Rainbow Zen. He has not been for like 20 years.

And it's been his dream. It's been his dream. And you've kept saying no. Well, Kevin's been like, it's just sort of not appropriate for the day. Well, I don't know. It's been his dream It's been his dream And you keep saying no Until this It's just sort of Not appropriate for the day I don't know It's sort of a strange thing to do

Then we went there right And the first thing we did Was like we've got to get in For the big Stratosphere The massive one Yeah Even saying it now

Which one's that one The one that goes so high And goes 360 And it spins you around Yeah yeah yeah And again So Anything that spins It's off the list.

You don't like it. You're going to be sicky. But then we had a... There were wind warnings. It was really windy. And they shut the big five. They shut the roller coaster, all the big ones. And we were like, oh.

But then we were all like, you know what? It doesn't even matter because we're having such a fun day. And we went on the gold rush three times. And we did the log flume twice and we went laser tagging and I got lost, but I came seventh out of 24. Oh, that's not too bad.

Thank you very much. We were just having the best day and he was like so smiley. He's been so stressed about the house. So smiley. He's just like, guys, he just kept saying, guys, this is so great. Was he too big for you? Oh my God, this is so great. Oh my God, Aaron in the bumper boats was so

funny. Because you have the engine between your legs and his knees were up around his ears. But he didn't care. He was having the best day ever. And then we were like, kept going around the big ones and going, oh damn, I'd love to go on the big ones. But hey, we're still having such a fun day. It doesn't even matter. And then I was like, I'm going to

go get us an ice cream. And I was in the line to get an ice cream and then my friend Ty was running like, Hayley! And it was like, the park shuts at four and this is quarter past three. So we'd been there for six hours already. We were like, six hours? You know, the day's wrapping up. And she was like, the boys have

Intel. So then we ran to the Invader one and the boys had seen one of the workers there and said, we're going to open up the big five. And so we got on the line and we went first in the line. We're first for the Invader, first for the roller coaster. We did that twice. Then we went to the

Stratosphere and I did that and halfway through I was like, I've had enough of this. The ice cream was like, hey, remember me? I abandoned the ice cream, but I was upside down looking down being like, mm-mm, this is wrong. Yeah.

But it was so much fun. And on the way home, I said to Aaron, I was like, he was like, oh my God, thank you so much for organising this surprise.

And I said, did you have a nice day? And he said, literally, that's one of the best days of my life. That is so cute. It was the sweetest thing.

He genuinely had such a fun time. And so did I. I bet he was tuckingest thing He genuinely had Such a fun time And so did I I bet he was Tucking out I bet he got And it was windy So we were like

Oh so tired Yeah Falling asleep On the way home Was he nodding Yeah nodding off Tuck it out boy Was it the best day

Of your life It was one of the Best days of my life And it hadn't been For the kids Because So your problem With Rambo's

Being too many kids? Well, we kept trying to time it so it wasn't on a school holiday. And Monday wasn't a school holiday, but the teachers only did it. Heaps of kids. Not so much the kids. Kids were cute. They were having a fun time. They were in their own little part of the park.

The tweens. Oh, yeah. Listen to me. There was this one kid who just sort of was always constantly in the same line. And he was really like peacocking because he was with some other teenage girls. What's with the lashes teenage girls, by the way? Do they need to touch the eyebrows? We've got the falsies.

Massive fake eyelashes. Massive. It's like their eyes are so heavy. They're like strained. They're really struggling. Anyway, this kid was like vaping. He kept swearing and stuff. They're all vaping.

How old was this kid? I reckon like 12. Could be 15. I don't know how old kids look. Yeah. He was like 12 years old, I think. And he was vaping. And he was like blowing the smoke my way.

And I was like, all right, dude. And then he spat. He was like, man, you know you need to give up the vapes when you start spitting as much as i do and the girls were like and i was like oh dude this dude this little dude then they started making there was a kid who was trying to get on the little go-kart and he got he wasn't allowed to go on and then they they were making fun of him because the boy was crying he was crying in the corner no look at that loser wait how old was the kid that was crying? I don't know. Nine. No, like 10 maybe?

Oh. Yeah. What a puss. I know. No! He was upset because his brother got to go on and he didn't get to go on. Oh, that's the fear.

Yeah. His mum had to cuddle him and then the boys were making fun of him. Oh, no, mum. Don't cuddle me at Rainbow's Inn in front of the vaping kid. Oh, no. With the attitude problem

and the girls with the extra long eyelashes. Honestly, each time, every time that boy opened his mouth, my ovaries were like drying up. And then at the end, when the big five opened up, everyone was like running right because we all thought the park was going to close. Shout out to Rainbow's Inn. They stayed open for an extra hour.

This kid came up and he was like, and he just kept swearing like F, F, F. And there's all these kids around and stuff. And I said, dude, what's your language? And he goes, calm down, lady. You got lady. I got lady. I'm 33. You're a lady.

You're a lady. I'm not. No, I'm not. You're a lady. I'm a young woman. Oh my God, I'm not a lady. You're a lady. I told him off a couple of times.

You're a miss. Yeah. I'm not. I'm a miss. Calm down, miss. No, I'm miss. I'm not. I'm a miss. Calm down, miss. No, I'm miss. I am miss. I'm not miz. Yeah, yeah, because miss is like oh, because they all call the teachers miss at school. You're obviously a step

up. You're a lady. Yeah. Anyway, my review for Rainbow's End is it has the potential to give you the best day of your life if it wasn't for the kids. Okay. Maybe they decided to do adults only days. Adults only days. Yeah, great, great fun.

Great, thank you. There is a TikToker. Now, this isn't just some TikToker wasting all of our time with TikToks. Yeah. She, Nikita Dump Truck is her. You said that without a. I her. You said that without a. I know.

You said that like, yeah. I wanted to just say it and flow on to the next part of my sentence, but it didn't happen. Nikita Dump Truck is her handle. Yeah. TikTok username. And same on Instagram. She dishes out financial advice, which you might think,

I don't need that. Yeah. You know, this is a good thing about Bad News Brad. When we have Bad News Brad in, he tries to give it to us in layman's terms so we know what the heck he's talking about. So we all know, yeah. About the economy and such. Well, she takes it to the next level.

And she is a self-confessed professor at Bimbo University where she breaks financial terms down even more. Okay. To really simplify it. Yes. For the less educated. And she does financial stuff. She does like current news.

So like one of her videos, she explains why the French protesting retirement age going up. Although also only to 64. Less, less, less. We're so off. What are we? French protesting retirement age going up. Although also only to 64. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. We're so off. We're so off. What do we do?

What do we 65? We're 65. Well, calm down, France. Yeah. Yeah. We should do 45. How good would that be? Optional 45.

Yeah. And then you can still get the, you know. Half of it. Yeah, get a little bit of pension. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But only half. Yeah. How are we paying for all of this? Because you're halfway to retirement. How are we paying for this? Duh, tax. Printing money. Oh, yeah, okay.

Print more money is one of her episodes. Is it? She talks about why you can't just print more money to get yourself out of problems. What does she say? Well, she basically explains inflation, but in like layman's terms. Yeah, but what if we just keep printing more and more money? I can print you some money on my Canon printer. Oh, do you have a Canon?

Yeah, I've got a Canon. You're all right. A photo printer. It comes out a bit shiny. Well, it's got a strip to it. And there's nothing on the other side of it. Yeah, right. And you've got to cut out your own.

You've got to cut out your own window. Glad wrap hole. Yeah. Oh, bugger. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, okay. We'll give it a go.

And then do a little bit of like an etching on that. But do you want to hear one of the videos i've got where she um explains basically uh explains inflation here right please um that's me and today i'm explaining inflation using shopping and boys inflation is when the money in your wallet loses its purchasing power let's say there's this boy you have a crush on and he listens to a lot of people so what do you do you listen to a lot of Pink Floyd. So what do you do? You listen to a lot of Pink Floyd to win him over. But then all of a sudden he gets really hot and everyone else is crushing on him too

and they're all listening to Pink Floyd. No, your knowledge of Pink Floyd isn't worth as much. That is one reason why inflation happens when demand is more than supply. See? She needs to work on her production values. Don't do that in the wind. So she walks down the street holding her phone at like arm's length.

That would be my only critique. Yeah. But she's doing the character. Right. She's playing the character of the bimbo. So that's like a character? Yeah. So that's like her.

She gets dressed up all in pink. So if I'm hanging out with one of you. She also has subtitles. If you're watching on TikTok, there's subtitles. Yeah, right. If I hang out with you, Vaughn, and you tell me everything about Dungeons & Dragons, and now I know a lot about Dungeons & Dragons, but then everyone else wants to hang out with you and you tell them, and we all know the same amount about Dungeons & Dragons and now I know a lot about Dungeons & Dragons, but then everyone else wants to hang out with you

and you tell them and we all know the same amount about Dungeons & Dragons. My knowledge is not worth as much. Yes, correct. That's basically inflation. Don't tell me about Dungeons & Dragons, by the way. I was just using that as an example. If you do want to talk about it, I've got some time.

Yeah, I've got some time. I've got time to walk through. She's resonating. People are loving her stuff. 12 million likes or something like that. Yes, correct. 500,000 likes on that video. Significantly more watches and comments and stuff.

Now, can we talk about the dump truck? You can't. She's called Nikita Dump Truck, but... She might like dump trucks. You're thinking she's got a good dumper. I thought she had a good dumper, but is she just a truck fanatic? She might be. Big truck fanatic.

She might, but yeah, if you need inflation in anything, it's fine. I just think she's so clever. It's just politics and a bit of everything. It is, it's cool.

I'm following. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Yeah. Day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about anti-climb paint. Ever heard of anti-climb paint? No. Is it so people can't climb buildings? Yep. Oh, my God. I was just scrolling on the reels before and someone was climbing a skyscraper building, you know,

for some parkour content. Oh, no. How in the place to put anti-climbing paint? Oh, my God. You're halfway at the Burj Khalifa and you're like... They only put it on the top half. Yeah. Well, so technically anti-climbing paint is also known as

non-drying paint, anti-intruder paint, and anti-vandal grease. Oh, okay. So you paint this on. Yeah. With a stiff brush. Okay. And then it looks like a smooth, glossy paint.

And the very, very surface layer dries. However, the paint itself takes a minimum of three years to dry. Huh? So something looks painted. A fence that people would never otherwise touch looks painted until someone tries to climb it and they grab it and they can't get a grip because it's slippery and then their hands are covered in the paint

from underneath their thin skin. Right. And then your paint job's all ruined. Well, your paint job's ruined, but it stopped somebody climbing in somewhere. Yeah, right. And it's easy to find out who they are because now it's all over their hands

and it's apparently very hard to wash off. It stains the hand. Because there's so much tagging around in the city at the moment. This would be great to get some of this happening. I wonder if there's some anti-tagging paint. Well, you'd put this where they'd climb to tag. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Anti-vandalism paint is another type of paint.

I think you can get paints that, yeah, it's a lot easier to clean it off. Yeah. Or like a coating. Yeah. Yeah, so you could just scrub it. I've heard of that. Yeah. Yeah, but this one never dries, so it's more for climbing, fences, walls, etc.

But then you're going to have marks. Are you going to have marks or does it re-dry? No, you probably have to re-paint. Yeah. re-dry. No, you probably have to re-paint. But the idea is you put it 2.4 metres above the ground, which apparently, due to some studies, is higher than where most people would touch. Right.

So if someone could lean against the fence, standard black paint. No problem. But then if they were to turn around and take a couple of climb, climb, climb, no problem. Next one is where they start getting into trouble. And it's the top part of the thing that's climbed. Oh, dear.

That they've painted to stop people climbing it. I haven't really had a problem with people trying to climb my house or my fence. Probably not. But it's more for like cities or places that put up big fences to keep people out. Oh, well, here's about, because I just Googled anti-climb paint New Zealand, and the first thing that came up is a Resene case study. Oh, it says no longer available. Evidence in the Oamaru toilets.

The Eden Street toilets in Oamaru have turned the tables on late night intruders. Oh. Thanks to a liberal lashing of the paint. And so it's like a lanolin. So it's like grease. Why were they climbing into the Eden Street toilet at night time? I don't know, Vaughan.

I don't know. To use the toilet? I'm unsure. But yeah, it doesn't say that. There's another one, invisible paint to halt climbers in Hamilton, an anti-climb paint. Yeah. That's an invisible paint.

Yeah, that's a story from 2012, actually. What are they getting them to stop climbing? Because maybe they need to whack some of this on the bucket fountain, although there's a lot of water splashes. The sculpture in Garden Place? Oh, yeah. They didn't want people climbing up that, so that's painted. The anti-climb paint.

Anti-climb paint's on that. Gotcha, gotcha. So if you're drunk and trying to climb that. You're in big trouble. Yeah, wow. You're not going to be able to do it. Okay. So there you go.

If you've got problems with somebody climbing in somewhere regularly. Oh, yeah, but then your cats could come in. Oh, my God. Imagine the cat trying to get up the fence. But then it comes into your bed and tries to wake you up. It's covered in grease. Oh, no. Rolly.

What have you done? So today's fact of the day is in the 1960s, anti-climb paint was developed. Fact of the day, the sanctity of it, here's an amazing story. You might have heard this a couple of years ago. There was a guy on TikTok who was like I just like having adventures in my life I want to marry a stranger who wants to marry me

and yeah handsome guy and he's like had a few followers and stuff and he was like I'm not really being serious I just want to like make a bit of content and have a fun time but legally get married to this person then his name's Gunner I love that like that's his first name Gunner. I love that. Gunner. Like that's his first name.

Yeah, Gunner. Gunner Michaels. That's so American isn't it? Gunner. My mum calls me Gunner Sprout because I'm always gunna do it. Gunna do something. Anyway, so Danielle came across this video. This was in 2021. And she was like, you know what? I'm ready for an adventure as well. I don't take things too seriously.

Yeah, I'll do it. So then he flew to her, proposed to her. They got together and planned the wedding together. Had a wedding that Valentine's Day. Wait, this is all just for like TikTok or social media? They were just like, we're just like fun. They went to Vegas. They got married legally. Two years has passed

and Danielle and Gunnar are still going strong. Stronger than they say than any other connection they have made on dating apps. Wow. They said they weren't seriously looking for a life partner, and I think the carefree, fun attitude of it all attracted another carefree, fun person.

And their original plan, which they had already marked out, once they made the videos and got the likes, they were going to get divorced after a week. But then at the wedding, they were just having the best time talking, became friends, became attracted to each other. It grew. Lovers. Lovers. Lovers. Consumation.

And then it opened their eyes to the fact that they were like, well hang on, why get divorced if this is so much fun? And they were saying like... And two years later it's still working. Two years later their families are both happy for them. They go on all sorts of adventures. What a great way to start your life together. Yeah.

Just on a bit of an adventure. So I wanted to take some calls, perhaps, of whether or not you've been in kind of some sort of wild set up or like a wild kind of whirlwind relationship. Like those people that meet someone when they're travelling and then they're like, look, I'll just move back. Yes. And then, like, they move back a month later

and then they're still together now to this day just move back. Yes. And then, like, they move back a month later and then they're still together now to this day. Yeah, I know. Because they just knew. You're on your OE and you're in Mykonos and you meet a beautiful Greek man who takes you on a boat and takes you away, if you know what I mean. And then you're like, what? Pops olives in your mouth.

Yeah, yeah. Cucumbers. And you're like, why are you making a Greek salad in my mouth? And he puts in a bit of tomato and some olive oil and some balsamic vinegar and then he shuts your mouth and he shakes your head. Cr my mouth? And he puts in a bit of tomato and some olive oil and some balsamic vinegar. And then he shuts your mouth and he shakes your head. Crumbles feta. Thumbing in a bit of feta.

Yes. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. And then afterwards, you don't want to get him muddled with the flavours before. No, you have to. Yeah, that's why we nearly lost Hayley to Mykonos. Yeah, I know. But Carlos did come home for a bit, didn't he? Yeah.

Now that one didn't work out, but perhaps you have been. Yeah. In a whirlwind romance. Well, you just met someone on a dating app. Maybe they're in a different city or the same city and you just moved in

after a week. Met someone online, went overseas and just went, stuff it. I'm going, I'm following love. I think we might get

some good stories here. Okay, well, 0800 DARS at Amazon. Give us a call. You can text as well, 9696. Did you have a whirlwind romance? We are hearing from you about your whirlwind romances.

There was a couple that got married just for like a TikTok gag. And then two years later, they're still together. They decided not to go through with this sort of planned divorce. But people do this all the time. You meet someone on holiday or someone's in New Zealand and then they move back. Or move in after a week. Leave your whole family behind. See you later, kids.

Mum is in love with Carlos and Mykonos. Now some, I'm like, that's cute, but some I'm like, red flag? Maybe we just want to slow down a little bit. Met my boyfriend three months ago. We're about to start building a house together. No, no. Because what that will do is implode a marriage that has been very happy

up until the point that the house starts being built. You know they say you should holiday with someone before you get married? You've got to go through, what is it? A death, an overseas trip, and a financial commitment to get it before you get married. You'd know, house renovation is very testing. We are 12 years together next week and we're lucky to make it. Because building a house is so stressful.

while he was on an eight-hour layover. So this guy's on a eight. This is red flag. He's on an eight-hour layover, and he's straight to the clubs. Hell yeah. I like that. He's making the most of Amsterdam. Hell yeah.

Kim, what was your whirlwind romance? I met my partner in Dunedin. It meant to be a one-night stand. Okay. Oh, nice.

And that never happened. Oh, Kim, no. It was never meant to be one of those. And then we bought a house after five months. He lived in Tumaru. And I moved my whole life. We're now married. I'm a kid, one step son.

It all worked out. Wow. So you weren't like... It was very judgy. When you got out, yeah, because some people would be. It's all going to go in the trash. Yeah, were there any red flags at all in those five months before you bought a house? Or were you just like, this just feels right?

Lesbians move fast. Lesbians just. What did lesbians bring to a second date? All of their stuff. Because they're moving in. I was moving to Canada at the end of July. Came down south Otago to visit my dad and say goodbye to him. Went to the pub with my brother.

I just got a little shiver up my spine because love is real. I love that. Yeah. My friends hated me for it, though. They thought I was ruining my life and throwing away opportunities. Yeah, I know. As a friend, you've got to speak up. You've got to also be happy when it does work out.
