The ZM Podcast Network. The Fleshborn and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning, happy Friday. Welcome to the show, Fleshborn and Hayley. Mmm, we made it to Friday. Hayley's taking a long weekend and rubbing it in our face.

I am taking a long weekend, which means my week next week's going to be lovely and short. What have you got, Some kind of marching reunion? For my team, my marching team that has like a 50 plus year history is having a reunion. And it's all centered around like the dinner and then this like performance thing. And a lot of women getting into rooms. Reminiscent.

Okay. Yeah. What about multiple rooms? Is there different rooms for different discussions? I think so. It's conference-esque. If you want to discuss hand timing. Yeah.

Please meet in C4. But only hand timing from the, I don't know, the 80s to the 90s. Oh, yeah. It's a very great decade for hand timing and marching. Different in the 80s and 90s marching. I started in the early 2000s, so there could be some competition. That'll be your conference room. Yeah, that'll be me.

The early 2000s girls hop in here. So, yeah, I'm off. That starts from today through to Monday. Watch out, Wellington. Watch out, Wellington. Watch out, Wellington. Oh, yeah, I get to go to Wellington. That's nice.

I love Wellington. Right. Do we know what's on the top six? Nah, not yet. Okay. Not yet. Watch out, Wellington. Oh, yeah, I get to go to Wellington. That's nice. I love Wellington. Right. Do we know what's on the top six? Nah, not yet. Okay. Not yet. Working away at that, Vaughan Smith. Should we do a vibe show?

Just vibe it. I reckon scratch the plan and just vibe the whole thing. Well, Vaughan is our vibe hire. I am a vibe hire. He's a vibe hire. And we kind of have regretted that. Yeah. You know?

They brought me in to sort of tie it up. Everybody regrets the vibe hire. You know, people are like, we need to just slightly change the vibe at the office so they'll do a vibe hire, and then you'll be like, this is why we don't do vibe hires. He's a nightmare. Yeah.

Turns out they're useless. Yeah, really. Fun at parties, but useless. Yeah. I don't even go to those. Terrible vibe hire. Now, the Olympics underway, a lot of sports have already started

like a lot of their kind of rounds. Yes. Like the rugby, our rugby sevens team's doing really well. Yeah. Playing again this morning as well. Our flag buries have been announced. Yes, there's diving, all kinds of stuff that's underway. Yeah.

But the official opening ceremony is tomorrow morning New Zealand time. Five-ish. We did lose to Canada, by the way. It's because they spied on us. I know. That hurts. Now, we're going to catch up with James McConey, who is at the Olympics

after 8 o'clock this morning to get the... On the ground. The feel on the ground in Paris. Our man at the Olympics. Our personal correspondent. Also joining us after seven, Bad News Brad Olsen, economist. Oh my God. Show economist.

Sports. Guests on guests on guests. Economy. What's the other thing? Comedy. We'll expect that throughout the show. First one on Hayley, laugh out louder. Laugh out louder.

So we'll chat to Brad about just, I don't know, how things are going. Maybe we'll get some good news. Do you know someone teased? After all these years. Well, I don't know if it was Brad going. Maybe we'll get some good news. Do you know someone teased? After all these years. Well, I don't know if it was Brad or if it was just producer Carwin being hopeful that there may be some good news from Bad News Brad. Goodness me.

And when we say good, obviously not like actually good. Yeah. But better maybe? I might let Brad push the button on my internet banking to refix my mortgage. Oh. I've got to do that. I've got to do that today.

Oh, okay. Shit. Well, maybe he'll give you some good news about that or some bad news. Well, I've got to do that. I've got to do that today. Oh, okay. Shit. Well, maybe he'll give you some good news about that or some bad news. Well, I don't think it's up to him. That's like the number one.

The button will be clicked today. That's the number one question we get when Brad Olsen comes in, Economist. What should I do with my mortgage? Yeah. So we'll answer that

for you after seven. The cylinder pole is on the way. How often do you clean your dryer? You know the lint thing? Every single time. An insurer yesterday was like,

guys, after every time. Yeah. And people are like, what? My washing machine tells me. My dryer tells me. Yeah, my dryer does too. Clean the filter? It's like, clean it.

It doesn't need to. Me, every single time. Same. I like it too. Like scraping it off that tray. What's the number one cause of house fires, isn't it? That and petrol, I think. Petrol?

Yeah. I would have thought that and cooking while drunk. That too, probably. Never drink and fry. Petrol in the house? I can see how that could catch fire. That's coming up, settle a little poll. But next, I believe you've got this story, Vaughn, there is a rooster.

On the looster. What? rooster. On the looster. A rooster on the looster. Was that the comedy you were talking about during the show? Yeah. Economics. Sports. Comedy. There's a rooster on the looster. There we go. Someone has a rooster.

It's an urban rooster. An urban rooster. Roosters suck when you live rurally. Imagine how awful it would be urbanly. Urbanly? Urbanly. Urbanly. That's a word now.

When you're kind of like Keith. Fletchvorn and Hayley, the show thanks to McCafe. Make McCafe your first song. I got the top six. Great Things are Brewing. Please don't interrupt my sponsor mention. Great Things are Brewing, mate. You need to tie it up. Yeah, I like the top six. Great things are brewing. Please don't interrupt my sponsor mention. Great things are brewing, mate. You need to tie it off.

Yeah, I like the top six because I don't know what I was going to do. What are you going to do? Well, we've just heard that the skateboarders had to skateboard some of the way to their Olympic fixture. Yep. And then we all started saying words that sounded like they were skateboarding terms. So the top six made up skateboarding terms. Is that because Hayley said she did a flapjack? Yeah.

Sure. And retaliated to you saying that you did an ollie, which I would love to see. And then you claimed to do what? How many degrees did you claim? I've done a 480. I've done a 480. I didn't believe you'd be flat on your ass.

I didn't get all the way to do it. Well, then you didn't do a 480. A 360 would be a 540 would be your next logical. Yeah, I nearly way to do a 360. Well, then you didn't do a 480. A 540 would be your next logical. I nearly got to a double 360. No, you were miles off.

Which is a 720. You only just got one pass. I know, I know. You only just got just past one full rotation from a 360 to a 480. That's why it was embarrassing.

You landed sideways. I'd imagine you cacked it. Yeah, I know. Oh, gosh. I was in pain. You need to work on your grinds, bruh. Do you know what I mean? Work on the grinds it. Yeah, I know. Oh, gosh. I was in pain. You need to work on your grinds, bruh. Do you know what I mean?

Work on the grinds. Real life. That's the key to a good Tony Hawk skateboarder combo. That's right. Got to put your grinds in between. I'm good at the grinder. Between your nails. Actually, second to none.

360. Jesus. You want to calm that down, pal? Well, let's get on to some, from talk about Grindr to talk about Urban Cox. Of course, I refer to Lecoq. Which you'll find on Grindr. Lecoq's four teeth. Yeah, Lecoq's is French for rooster.

Now, somebody has a rooster in an urban environment. Birkenhead. We've both lived at different stages. Don't shame me. You guys do not give up Birkenhead. I live in Birk different stages. Don't shame me. You guys do not give off Birkenhead. I live in Birkdale. Okay, that's not Crete. I lived on Lauderdale Road.

But you used to tell people you lived in Birkenhead. Birkenhead, darling. In Birkenhead, darling. Just juge up your summer. It's way closer to Glenfield than it was where I was. But there's a rooster. And, of course, people think, oh, roosters, that'll be kooky and cute. They cock-a-doodle-doo when the sun comes up.

They cock-a-doodle-doo whenever they want. They cock-a-doodle-doo in the middle of the night if they're alerted or awoken. They're the protector of the hen house. The hens. What do you call it, a flock of chickens? That doesn't feel right. A gaggle of chickens? Collective.

A murder of chickens No that's a murder of crows Are you even allowed chickens in your backyard There are some rules The brood is the most common form A brood of chickens is also called a flock A clutch or a peep A peep of chickens

A peep of chicks would be pretty cute So there are rules about urban chickens Do your new neighbours keep their chickens No they sold them That would be pretty cute. I got a little paper chicks. So there are rules about urban chickens. Do your new neighbours keep their chickens? No, they sold them. They sold them. But just the other day we heard a rooster going off in the afternoon and I was like, what's that now? Because we've never heard it before.

Yeah, sounds like you might need to get a slug gun and assassinate them. Sounds like I'm going to turn the oven on 180. Do you know what I mean? Good for a curry. I wouldn't roast a rooster. A rooster? I think it's more of a curried situation, especially if it's established. Why are people keeping them?

They're no good. They don't lay eggs. They're useless. They're useless. What do they protect? If you're running a full situation, if we had a bigger plot of land, we would probably have one. But remember when one just roguely turned up?

And I was like, we're not going to like that. And Sade's like, oh, he might protect the girls. And then that morning. Not your daughters. No, no, no, the chucks. I was like, that rooster ain't going to do shit. To the girls, yeah.

Help rooster. And this rooster walks in. Boy, I say boy. You'll leave these here ladies alone. You'll leave these far home girls alone. You hear me, boy? And that morning, at like 2.30, alone. You leave these farm girls alone. You hear me, boy? And that morning

at like 2.30, it was like and Sade rolled over and was like, get rid of it. It's gotta get rid of it. We've gotta get rid of it. But that's the problem. People don't want them. So they just dump them in places and that's how they do. But not in the city.

It would be hard to find a rooster unless it was next door in a city because the sound would like echo off buildings and stuff. And it might be a wandering rooster. It might be like in a park or something. Yeah. So it's become quite a thing in the area.

There's posters. People have been putting up posters. Yeah. Saying who's got the rooster? Get rid of the rooster. I like the poster that like kill the rooster. Some others are like save the rooster. I like the one that looks like it's been drawn by a kid and it's like is this your rooster and it's like this real kind of kid drawing of a rooster.

It looks like. Draw my kid using his non-dominant hand. It's very funny. Bart Simpson rooster. Yes. Bart Simpson haircut. Somebody said look on this rooster as a blessing. You'd be more upset if you never woke up. What a dumb thing to say. Do you know what I mean?

What a stupid thing to say. That's a vegan. A vegan's rid of that. That's a vegan. Spiritual vegan. Spiritual vegan. But fresh, spiritual. Vegan energy.

Used to work corporate. Yeah, yeah, had a full breakdown. Had a full breakdown. Went vegan. Went overseas, came back had a full breakdown. Had a full breakdown. Went vegan. Went overseas, came back with a lot of harem pants. Used to work for the meat board.

Yes. Used to work for the chicken. And then one day saw it, looked a pig in the eyes. Used to work for Tegel's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In fact,

was behind the very successful launch of Tegel Takeout. Yum. I swear I haven't tried it. Oh! I know. 45 minutes, you've got an air fryer.

I know. In fact, that's what I'm having for dinner tonight. Okay. I love it. It's delicious. I'm eating it all the time. So, yeah, the hunt for the rooster's on. While poultry, particularly roosters, could cause a nuisance, said Auckland Council.

Keeping poultry was covered by the Animal Management Bylaw, under which it was illegal to own a rooster in an urban area without prior consent or permission. Oh, okay, so this has to go. So chickens, yes, rooster no. I know a good road you could drive up. Why are you pointing at me?

They're not in my road. And just chuck it out the window, and then it'll find other chickens. Chuck it out the window. Hurl it out the window. Drop it off. other chickens. Chuck it out the window. Hurl it out the window. Drop it off. Drop it off. Vaughan will take it.

Text 9696 for the address. We'll give it out. Any roadside rubbish you need, Dom. Oh, my God, yeah. Vaughan's road's great for that. Inorganics. Rural litterers. The worst type of people.

Absolutely. Yeah, I know. Have you ever been in a car with like a bag full of takeaway leftovers and just been like, wow, I simply can't have this in the vehicle? No. Imagine, eh? You do it at the servo when you fill up. Yeah, you ram it in that tiny bin.

You ram it in that little hole. No, you scroll it up into a ball and you put it under the seat and you leave it there for another day. And you forget about it. Yeah, that's how you get maggots. To one day you're like, I think I left some nuggies in here. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley

Silly little pole Silly little pole It is so silly, silly, silly That the silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Todayilly Little Pole Silly Little Pole

Today's Silly Little Pole. You'd like that, wouldn't you? You wish. You'd like me to read. You wish. Oh, will you? Demand, demand, demand. I'm sorry, white man.

But this white man. All right, coloniser Will now do silly little poll On his own terms When drying your clothes How often do you clean out the lint tray? Every wash Every load

Every few loads It's done, right? Shut your face I would even I do lint sometimes If I'd do a lids sometimes. If I've got sheets on, you know, that take a while, and you know how sheets get ball up? They ball themselves up.

Take them out and give them some movement. Sometimes I'll do a little halfway empty. You should just dry them on the line. Why does everything... I don't have a washing line. Weird, it's a fine day. I don't have a washing line. Weird, it's a fine day.

I don't have a washing line. Well, you could buy one or some clothes horses. We've got clothes horse. We've got our clothes horse. Oh, you need a couple for sheets. No, no. Yeah. I'm mid-renovation, guys.

We're not finished. Still. Where's the... Is the washing line on the list? Yeah, but it's got to go... But they look ugly. It's got to get attached to the new side of the house. I'm not putting one of those horrendous things that he's got.

Oh, yeah, Vaughan's got one from like the 40s or something. The roundy, you cannot beat them. I know they're better when it comes to drying clothes. There is. Yeah.

But it's not like that's the function of a washing line. The function of a washing line is to look aesthetically pleasing in line with the house. Oh, absolutely not. I know.

The bigger the better. Oh no, I know. But that Sade did poo-poo, I wanted to get, and now like, we've got this, like, little covered area. And it's always where we set the clothes horses because it catches a bit of sun. And I was like, what we should get is one of those big retractable clotheslines. We could run. God, you should have seen her face.

It was like I suggested we put swastikas on the house. What, like, inside? No, on the deck outside. Oh, right. Okay, yeah. Ugly. It would be hidden. You wouldn't even see it unless it was out.

Yeah. And then we would just... It would take our dryer usage down. Well, this news story came out yesterday. An insurer, FMG, is reminding people to clean their lint filter and their dryers between each load. Yes, sir. Every single time.

Because it's causing dryers to ignite. And you get these warnings all the time from the fire service. It's one of the biggest causes of house fires. Yeah, it's so bad. And a lot of the time, if they were able to figure it out, you wouldn't be able to claim insurance in your burnt down house. And now you're living in... Yeah.

You're living on a... So what you're telling me is get into the ashes of your burnt down house and just take the lint tray. Take out the lint tray. Just make sure there's nothing in it. Just shut the whole thing away. Yep. When drying clothes, how often do you Clean it, that lint filter. Take out the lint tray. Just make sure there's nothing in it. Just shut the whole thing away. Yep. When drying clothes, how often do you do it?

48% every load. That's not enough. That's not enough. 33% every few loads. 19% hardly ever. That thing's going to catch on fire. Do you know in America, I think they have different dryers, and they have like a lint tube, like an extractor tube.

Right. Like we do for our bathrooms, a ventilation sort of situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've sort of followed this guy, and he goes to these houses, and people are like, oh, my dryer's not working properly. And he's like, when did you last clean that ventilation tube? And they're like, didn't even know I had one. And he's got this tool that goes in there.

I've seen that. And he sucks it all out. Yes. And it's insane that their houses haven't burnt down. Yeah. Insane. Oh, God. That makes me so nervous.

What about those people that go out and leave their dryer on? Never. I would never do that. I've got a brand new dryer. Do you do that? I would never. Why don't you trust the dryer? I just don't know.

I don't trust the dryer. There's something about not having an eye on it. You don't just walk away from your oven, even though it's literally never burst into flames on its own. Sometimes. Your eye wins. Why are you leaving your oven on when you leave the house? I'm out. I Oh, I'm out.

I mean, I'm outside. I'm like doing something. Oh, yeah. The oven doesn't need supervision. No, in my brain it does. Yeah, in my brain it does. Michaela said, every goddamn load.

What, do you people want to start a house fire? Yeah, exactly. She's angry. Think of our poor firemen and firewomen that have to go around and put out these fires. Exactly. My question, says Megan, Think of our poor firemen and firewomen that have to go around and put out these fires. My question, says Megan, is what do people do with the lint? Now, I've been thinking about this because in my laundry,

I've got an aesthetic jar of washing powder, but we don't use washing powder. Ours is preloaded with liquid. This whole house is just wildly impregnable. I know. 400%. It's nearly unlivable. Now, I was like, why don't we get a closed-in jar that we collect the lint, almost a compost bin of sorts, that you empty out. Because I've got to put it all in my hand and walk it to the kitchen. You've got a fireplace, right?

I just walk it to the... You make fire starters out of them. Twisted fire starters? Yeah. Yeah, twisted. Do I twist them? You twist the lint, and it's a twisted fire starter. You can add just like a little bit of wax

and make like your own fire starters. You've got a fire. Why do you think it combusts so beautifully in the dryer when it's left in there? Where am I getting this wax from? A candle? Yeah, you can just smash up a tea light candle. Or just use newspaper and lint.

Yeah. Or a fire starter that you buy from the supermarket. Lint will go oof. I don't feel like it's good to be burning lint. Why not? It's just cotton and such. I suppose so. Okay, I'll do that. I'll collect it.

Well, Megan can send you hers too because she apparently doesn't know. Ruben says, what do you mean? There's a lint tray? Question mark. And then moments later, another message. Found it. Far out, Ruben. Ruben, I'd love to know how full that was.

It'd be bloody chocker. It'd be packed in there. Because my dryer will stop if it senses too much lint. Same. We've got very smart dryers. Very smart. Yeah. More intelligent than Vaughn's.

Yeah. He's got done. No, mine's quite intelligent. It connects to the internet. No, your one's dumb. It connects to the internet. Yeah, but it's dumb. And it dings me.

Mine internet's a ding to me. I think you and I have the same dryer. Oh, mine is an internet. No, I've got the newer one. And ding me? Sorry. I, your one's dumb. It connects to the internet. Yeah, but it's dumb. And it dings me. Mine internet's a ding to me. I think you and I have the same dryer. Oh, mine is an internet. No, I've got the newer one. And ding me? Sorry. I've got the newer one. Oh.

I've got the newer one. Oh, that's a good thing to say. Wow. Just like I've got the newer TV. My old dryer. All your stuff's old. No, I've got fresh stuff. You've got fresh stuff.

I've got fresh stuff. And practically a house you can't be lived in. Fresh. Fresh looking though. Unlivable. Remember my old dryer? They misspelt, please clean the... It said, please clean this, but clean was spelt C-L-A-E-N.

And it was like a Fisher and Paykel. So like millions of them have been made with a spelling mistake on them. Please clean your filter. Does mine have a spelling mistake? You should check. Okay, I will. I'll check it. I use my stainless rota clothesline.

And here we go. We've got a real woman on our hands. Zara, I use my stainless rota clothesline. God, they dry a clothing. I bet it's got the crank on the side

to get it up high too. Catch that wind. In Southland, even in the winter, people will use their dryer 24-7 to grow up. Yeah. I hate dryers.

I like this woman. I don't have a dryer. I don't have a line. Carl messages in. Wait, does my dryer have a lint tray? Oh, for God's sake, yes. Come on, people. Yeah, dude.

Sophie, every time, otherwise it doubles the time of the next lot of clothes because the machine's got too much lint on board. Yeah, it doesn't. You've got to run efficiency. Yeah, right. I use my local laundromat, so the owner cleans them out daily.

I hope. If I had a dryer at home, I'd check it before each year. I just don't want no fires. I do sort of miss the laundromat. I love the laundromat dryers. They're so big. They just get it done so quick.

You know, Sade's mum bought one back from the States, and it's a laundromat dryer. Really? And it runs on an LPG. The heat, it gets heat from an LPG bottle. You've got to plug it into a gas so it doesn't use heaps of power because the power is virtually powering a fan and spinning the machine, and the heat comes from LPG.

And it's exactly like a laundromat dryer. Yeah, nice. And it does sheets like that. Yeah, good stuff. But it is huge. Yeah. But she's running that accommodation, eh? She's got the yurt that everybody has sex in.

The Airbnb. No, they don't have the yurt anymore. Oh, don't they? Frida's in Raglan if you'd like to go for a weekend at my... Oh, that's gorgeous. It's all Frida's. Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo.

Yeah, that's right. It's very cool. It's a very cool spot. Our dryer does it already. Oh, my gosh. What do you mean? It self... Robbie said it self-cleans

and then it puts the lint somewhere else where it does the danger and then every now and then you've just got to take out this big thing of lint. Oh, mine's like a slip-in tray. Yeah. People saying hardly ever are real thrill-seekers, aren't they? Says Todd.

They really are. Ah, Todd. They are. That's still a little poll. 6.27 next on the show there is a How long did we just talk for?

I don't know. It felt like a long time. It felt like a long time. I mean I had fun from top to tail but if there's gonna be a post show note from management

it's gonna be that this went long. Well sure I'll keep the next break short and concise. I had heaps of fun and we're about to go into my favourite song. When has this ever stopped you? And we're about to go into my favourite song.

When has this ever stopped you? We have also... I just want everyone to know... That was a 10-minute break, guys. I just want everyone to know I'm having fun. Okay. As long as you're having fun. I'm the only one to remember there's no rules.

Laugh out loud at least one day. I'd like to think we've stopped someone burning their house down. Yeah, actually. You are welcome. If all it took to save some lives was 10 minutes of babbling shit, I'll wear it for the consultant. We'll take it. We'll take it.

Heroes. Next on the show, there's a new dating show, and I cannot wait to wrap my eyeballs around this one. Play. Did you do a little fart? 31 notes. No farts here. Something moved on the table. Oh, squeakies.

Dating Naked. This is because the UK's do reality TV so well. But this was actually put on in the US, they had three series but it got cancelled and then a German version came about and they've given it a bit of a revamp. But they were all pixelated though, eh? They were pixelated, so then the UK was like

your general sort of Olympics watchers. Now, if I may, Vaughan, can I bring in the skating anthem? Yep. Great. Perfect. No notes. Picture perfect. I was expecting Skater Boy by Avril.

Please don't be surprised when you're playing Heaven's in Half-Life. At least in Heaven I can skate. No, by OPM. OPM. I knew it was a can't do jack. But at least in Heaven I can skate. Without the man up on my back. Okay.

Great. What did OPM stand for? Oh, people. Mary. I have no idea. Originally called Stash. Open people's minds. Oh, really?

That's what it stands for. One hit wonders. And what a hit it was. And what a hit it was. So, it's also the Olympics, which is a competition. So, today's top six are the top six made up skateboarding terms that Fletch and Hayley are going to come up with on the spot at the Olympics. Number six. What a lazy prick.

Of made up skateboarding terms You can totally use During the skateboarding in the Olympics. Hayley. Check out that guy. He hit a slazzle. Slazzle. Slazzle. A slazzle is where there's...

There's, like, not as much of an incline to get a thing, so you kind of go, huh, with your body. You slazzle it, and it gives you momentum on the way back. Okay. Kind of like a... that would be a pump. Almost a thrust. Almost a pump. Yeah.

But the slazzle has more. I don't like it as much as kickity-do-da at two points. Yes! I'm winning. Number four on the list of the top six made-up skateboarding terms you can use at the Olympics. Number four, fletch. Oh, is he a one-hit wonder just like OPM with his kibbley doodle? A ski whip.

A ski whip. A ski whip. A ski whip. What's a ski whip look like? Well, you tell me. A ski whip is where you're just skateboarding along out of nowhere, no elevation, no nothing. You do it like a cartwheel, no hands.

Ski-whoop. Ski-whoop. I like it. I like ski-whoop as well. It's good. It's good, eh? Four points. Yes!

You are leading seven to two. Number three on the list of the top six skateboarding teams made up by Fletch and Hayley on the spot is, number three is Hayley. You're telling me my boy from Canada just hit the Jackie Down from Chunky Town? Jackie Down from Chunky Town! What does it look like? I do not believe my eyes.

He has just hit a massive Jackie Down from Chunky Town. The Jackie Down from Chunky Town is second to none. Of course it is. What does it look like? It's when you almost put your whole body at the front of the board

during a drop down. Yeah, like you're hanging 10. Like you're hanging 10, but it's chunky. And you Jackie Down, and then what you hit at the end, the chunkier the better. And so when you hit a chunky move at the end, oh my God, he jackied down to chunky time. I really like the name.

The descriptions failed a little bit. I really like the name. That's a four. It would have been higher. It's a four. Yeah. It would have been higher. I'll take it.

Number, this is your last chance to get points on the board, Fletch. Top six made-up skateboarding terms you can use during the Olympics. Fletch. A doo-doo whip. Actually, Jared, can we check that the doo-doo whip isn't already a skateboarding move, please? What? That can't be it.

It feels like it might be. How does the doo-doo whip work? Doo-doo whip. What does it look like? You're telling me that my description is shit. That's it. Doo-doo whip work? Doo-doo whip. What does it look like? You're telling me that my description's a shit. That's a doo-doo whip. He just puts effort and energy behind it. Pending investigation, also waiting on description.

It's a doo-doo whip. You're going along. Yeah. Doo-doo whip. Okay, so you skid out. You skid out. Yeah, you skid right around. You skid right around.

Sounds like a tic-tac. No, it's a doo-doo whip. You know you need a tic-tac when you're on a skateboard. I don't like them as much. Experts will know the difference between a tic-tac and a doo-doo whip. Is a doo-doo whip a skateboarding term you haven't found in anything? Ice skating, no, it's not, no. It's an ice skating term.

They wouldn't have a doo-doo whip in ice skating. A weak finish from you. Oh, two points. Come on. Two points. Hayley, you need to get three to draw, four to win. Number one on the list of the top six made-up skateboarding

terms you can use during the Olympics. My God, the champion's done it again. Finishing off his routine with the Mary Pappins. Mary Pappins? I love it. Describe it. Mary Pappins. Okay, you've drawn on Mary Pappins' Mary Pappins? Yeah, I love it. Describe it. Mary Pappins. Okay, you've drawn on Mary Pappins' name alone.

The description must carry. Mary Pappins is when your drop in is so sick that somehow it's almost as if you are flying. It's almost as if you are not dropping in. You are floating down. Yeah, are you holding an umbrella or just making it look like you're miming an umbrella? To make it the Mary Pappins rather than a slow drop, you do have to have your arms above your head.

Yeah, like you're holding an umbrella. Like you're holding an umbrella. And you'll be like, oh, my God. Do not adjust your televisions. You are seeing what we are seeing here at the Olympic Games. He just dropped a sick Mary Pappins. It's a four. Congratulations, Hay just dropped a sick Mary Pappins. It's a four.

Congratulations, Hayley Stroud. One point in it. One point in it. But that's how the Olympics works. Gold medal. Gold medal. Thank you. What an honour.

That's it. I stopped six. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Get a burn. It's beautiful. Oh, my God. I was like, what's it up to? Boom. Beautiful things. Guys, you've got to get a burn. Get a perm. It's beautiful. Oh, my God. I was like, what's it up to?

Beeson, Boone, beautiful things. Guys, you've got to get a perm. Get a perm. Get a perm. Well, it's all the rage at the moment. So when I grew up in the 90s, perms was a thing for the young girls. And my friend Georgia got a perm,

and I was like, I want a perm. But I wasn't allowed a perm. My mum didn't let me get a perm. I thought my mum was getting perms all through there. It came back. 80s mums got them. 80s, 90s, mum laid off the perms maybe early 2000s. And you look back and you see like TV shows and they're wearing like power suits

and perms. And then definitely that got overridden by the bloody GHD. We want pencil, you know, like pencil straight hair. God, you know I love a curl. I love a curl. I know, because it signifies that perhaps you're a bit ethnic.

Yeah. That's why you like curls. Sade was like, I'm not going to straighten my hair this week. And immediately I was like, ooh, ooh, my wife, ooh. And then I came in, she was straightening her hair, I was so upset. Oh, I've never seen it curly. Well, apparently, perms are back,

but not for the ladies. It's for the guys. The young Gen Z boys are embracing the perm. And if you were- Come on, Doug, get that perm. Get that perm.

We were talking about Benson Boone because he's got the hair that everyone wants. That's the fashion at the moment is this kind of flop top curly hair. I think his is natural. It's gotta be at the moment is this kind of flop top curly hair. I think his is natural.

It's got to be better than the mullet, which is still dominating the school playground. Whenever I pick the kids up, these kids are just breaking past. Sometimes I'll see a mullet on a filthy mullet. I know. Sometimes I do see a mullet, though, and I find it attractive. Like on a man. I know.

I know. I know, Vaughan. But I do. I see it and I think, you know but I do I see it and I think you know I get it it's a dirt bag thing but this

like like lots of athletes are doing it young men and they're not just styling it they're getting the perm

which means permanent like you put it in the little roller things so if you look around and you're seeing all these boys with curly hair

just know they're at the salon getting a perm and curls get the girls and curls get the girls that's what they're saying do you're seeing all these boys with curly hair Just know, they're at the salon getting a brr And curls get the girls And curls get the girls Do you have curly hair? I did have curly hair And did you get the girls? Nah, not me, nah

Nah Nah Okay, so it doesn't Because it's got the face that goes under it Yeah Yeah, minga, it's a minga Do you know what I mean? It's a minga face

Oh, that was so brutal You two are being quite bratty to each other this morning. It's a brat summer. He's promised he's going to make me cry today. I've made it through an hour. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. He's got an intro. Bad news, Brad.

Brad Olsen Thank you so much for coming in and joining us What was happening during that song Was we were discussing Lotto Because it's quite big at the moment isn't it 27 Yep You literally have the app up at the moment

26 Yeah 26 I even jumped off the work wifi Because you're not allowed to go on gambling sites at work, which is good for NZ, mate. It's good, yeah. It's good. So I just jump off to make sure that we've got a ticket

because we've got a deal. Do economists buy lotto tickets? I feel like a lot of them probably don't, except for when it jackpots and it's a must-go. But look, I mean, it's fun to have a dabble every now and then. And a dream. You've got to dream. Exactly.

And everyone's gone through it, right? How much you'd spend, what you'd do with it. We were just saying, I mean, it's fun to have a dabble every now and then. You've got to dream. You've got to dream. Exactly. And everyone's gone through it, right? How much you'd spend, what you'd do with it. We were just saying, I mean, you talked about the fun five. Fun five. You'd keep five mil out straight away. I would, actually. Fun five. What is it, 26?

So now I'm down to 21. One mil for you each. So I'm 19. 19 mil. How would you burn through five mil? See, my idea would be- Brad, it would not take me long, my darling. It would not take me long at all.

See, I reckon if I won it, I'd put 25 mil into term deposits for six months just while I figured out my life. And I'd keep a mil in fun money. Hayley's screwing up her face. All right, let's talk about actual money and not dreams. Well, because truly, like, the first thing I would do is pay off my mortgage

because that thing is not fun to have. It's always the number one question when you come in Brad is people text in and say what should I do about my mortgage? And there's been lots of articles this week on interest rates coming down how long you should fix for whether fixing for longer is better

someone texts in saying they locked in like three years ago at three point something we didn't want to hear from them anymore. Hayley blocked them. We blocked them. We said never listen to our show again. You're not welcome. Whoa, whoa.

Hey, hey, just because people make good financial decisions, I think that those people on the show, they're great. They're great listeners. What do you think? Give us your stance on what's happening with interest rates. Well, it's fascinating, right? Because for the first time in a while, I've been able to say to you that actually interest rates are going down. Yeah.

Now, the Reserve Bank hasn't moved yet, and there's still a big question over when they might do it, and we'll wait for them to figure out their own view, but hey, for the first time, you've actually seen retail rates that are starting to shift lower, and I think, you know, you're talking nearly 50 basis points, so half a percentage point in some areas compared to, say,

the end of last year. So you are now getting a more attractive option. I'm not saying that they're super great. They're not those 2%, 3% rates. But given how much pressure people are under, that's not a bad thing to have them starting to go down. And what we're starting to see is that around about, I think it's about 20% of more recent lending has been for only six-month terms. So people are going, look, if I fix for six months

and interest rates go up, I lose. But no one's really thinking that's going to happen at the moment. So if interest rates stay the same, I don't lose, but I don't win. I'm sort of just fine. But if they do go down, that's when I start to win. So you are seeing a few more people that are starting to fix for that shorter period of time. But there's also, if you look at some of the rates,

the likes of the two-year rate, that's quite an attractive option in some areas because it gives you that certainty of I know exactly how much I've got a budget for. And that expectation of if you take six months or even a year, how much lower might it be in a year's time? It might not be super heaps more than what the two-year rate might already give you. So there's a little bit of slicing and dicing, I think, that people are going through at the moment. I locked in five years at 11.6, and I'm stoked with that. For me, I was like, it's good to know what I'm budgeting. I changed mine to the credit card, so I'm currently making 19.20.

Oh, 29 or something. Yeah, 2019. I got a special. I got a special. So you would be saying go for six months or a year? Well, no, I'd never be offering advice on the radio. That would be a bad thing for my career. But I think we're seeing people at the moment

that are going between that sort of six months and two years sort of piece. Right. My bank, the bins, advertise six months right now because I've got a pick today. I've got a little slice of the mortgage coming up. So I've got a pick today.

How do you do that? Okay, I don't have a house. How do you do that? Do you just call up the man and be like, hey, someone's- You can do it in the app. Oh, you do it in the app? You can do it in the app. Wow, that's real gamified now, isn't it?

I know, it's fun. So advertise- Oh, which one do you want to pick? Six month rate is 7.05. Two years is 6.49. See, 6.49, that's not bad. Also, but see, the other thing is it would be interesting to see if you rang up and said, hey, what's actually the best?

You know, I'm a loyal customer. Because that's what they're doing at the moment, right? Listen, Brad, they've got me by both balls and a handful of pubes as well. I've whiffed and Hayley and I have said, lose the pubes. Lose the pubes. I can't. The BNZ will not release their grasp.

But I've trimmed around the hand. Come on, BNZ will not release their grasp. I've trimmed around the hand. Come on, BNZ, let his pubes go. Just let me have a tidy up, for Christ's sake. But lots of banks are doing, like Westpac will be like, we're going to drop it. And then ASB will be like, well, you can play around a bit. They definitely can. And that's what, I mean, it's interesting as well

because we've been seeing that there have been those figures that have been coming back. And yeah, the other banks are starting to jockey for position. Also because the housing market isn't going great guns at the moment. If I'm a bank, I need to get mortgages in the front door. I'm not getting a lot of those. And so all of a sudden I'm having to be competitive. I'm having to offer some options.

So not only might you be able to get that sort of flex maybe on your interest rate, but depending on who you're with, there's sometimes cashbacks and what have you around the place. So, I mean, look, I don't know how much time you've got today, Vaughan, but it might be worth getting on the old phone, you know, classic sort of Gen X move, get on the phone and talk to a real human being

rather than just on the apps. Yeah, because I deal with a human and it's a lot more, and sometimes he shouts me at lunch. Lovely. Yeah, it's lovely. Must be nice. It's sort of banging you in. Now, what about just general everyday living for people?

Is stuff getting cheaper? Because groceries feel like they're getting a little bit cheaper, right? You guys are so good at this economy thing. You don't need me anymore. We're basically economists. We just have you because you're cute, Brady. Oh, thank you. You are right, though.

I've got my spreadsheet up in front of me, and you are right that the likes of vegetable prices down 20% on last year. 20%? But we were coming off the back of the worst summer. It was so bad last year. But we are also seeing the likes of meat prices down 1.4%, the likes of milk, cheese, eggs down 3%.

Not a lot, but just a little bit. What's interesting, though, is because of how, again, challenging the economy feels, you're starting to see a lot, but just a little bit. What's interesting, though, is because of how, again, challenging the economy feels, you're starting to see a lot more shops that are starting to offer you some deals. So if you look at the likes of furniture, carpets, they're down a couple of percentage points. If you're trying to get some tools,

I know a man who's keen on the tools. Love the tools. A little bit cheaper at the moment as well. That's good. Can I get that in writing? You sign it like a note from a parent, I'll take it home to Sade. Vaughan now has permission to buy it.

Absolutely. Well, you can get here, if we look at the categories, you can get cleaning products, small tools, and if you want, maybe some household appliances. Oh my God, I love this, having just finished a renovation, that all these carpets and tools is coming down. The other two that are interesting is the transport area. It's a little bit easier to go on a hot girl Europe summer at the moment. International airfares down 13%.

Oh, good. But what about if you want to go to Christchurch? Yeah, well, that's why people are leaving the country, right? Secondhand cars also down a couple of percentage points. So a little bit cheaper if you want to get a new, like, you know, battered RAV4. The 1970s Mercedes that I want. Hayley, stop. Yeah.

You've got such a random shopping list. You want to know how I would burn through $5 million for my fun five very, very easily. Your Pinterest board must be just insane. It's very chaotic. This is, I mean, I know that it's like, it's incremental, isn't it? Like, you're never going to see, like, I read an article that was like, interest rates are coming down, this is good news,

but we're not going to just plummet back to 2.6. No, it's... And also, we're in a very privileged and lucky position to still have jobs. A lot of people have, like, there's been companies making massive cuts, the government, people working for the government, massive cuts. Yeah, hospos. Legendary hospos spots shut down because of how tough the times have been. It's like things are coming down, but it's certainly not rosy. Well, no, and that's the trade-off, right? When we had really high levels of economic activity and lots of people had jobs and there was lots of spending,

we equally had that big high inflation. Now that we're getting inflation back under control, that's where you're also starting to see the unemployment rate start to go up in that. So you're right, I mean, it's an awful trade-off. I think as well, if we look to sort of next year, interest rates will have come back a bit. People will be a little bit more secure.

The unemployment rate will have gone up, but you'll also then sort of mid next year, I reckon, start to see a little bit more jobs growth starting to come back through. So I think we're in the thick of it at the moment. The ground's a little bit frozen given it's winter, but come through towards the end of the year, those green shoots, I think,

are starting to pop through a bit more. Capitalism's cooked. I'll say it. I'll say it. I'll say it. Is this semi-good news, Brad, today? I just felt a little bit of positivity there. A tinge of good news, Brad Olsen.

Tinged. You're going to have to redo the entire intro track now. Bad news. Smidge hopeful. Smidge hopeful. Smidge hopeful. A smidge hopeful. Bad news, Brad.

Thank you so much, as always, for informing us. Are you going to give us His official title Can you remember it Principal Economist At Infometrics You nailed it I thought you were going to Call me Good News Brad

For a second But you know That was too far Bad News Brad Big Dog at Infometrics Thank you so much Brad Olsen Thank you

Thank you Brady Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey Play ZM It's Brad Olsen. Thank you. Thank you, Brady. We do this every Friday. We rank things. Today, it's Olympic sports. Because the Olympics officially kick off in Paris tomorrow. Do we have a latest Sevens update?

Our Sevens team are playing South Africa at the moment. The only thing that I heard was that the Sevens team bus driver got lost. And so then it took them a while to get to where

they were going. So that's the last I heard from the Sevens. Even your South African's posh. It sounded like a very posh South

African. That's right. Because when I moved here, I moved here for opportunities and I made the most of it. Yeah. And when I moved here, I moved here for opportunities and I made the most of it.

Yeah. And I started a very successful business. No, I got dragged in. You got dragged in.

Got kicked out. So where are we at? Do you score? We're losing 7-14.

No, we're not losing because we're South Africans. Now we're winning. Oh, you're winning. Who's losing? Where I live or

where I'm from originally? Where you live is losing. The posh South Africans, now we're winning. Oh, you're winning. We're winning. Right, who's losing? Where I live or where I'm from originally? Where you live is losing. The posh South Africans, so good. It's so on point. Can I make you guys a cup of tea? You all right? You all right? Right.

I've got a sparkling water. Anyway, enough of that. Well, do you know what? Top of my mind at the moment is the acrobatics. What is it called? Gymnastics. Because I watched Simone Biles' documentary. It's a two-part thing about how she dropped out of the 2020 Olympics

in Tokyo, made a comeback, and preparing for Paris. What are we ranking this on? Sports. Just amazing. Olympic sports. Just the incredibleness of the sport, I guess. So it's the sport that we would like to watch, not the rest. I think just how much

we like it. I mean, you go diving, right? Because that is gymnastics in the water. Into the water. Wait, can I just... Are we talking how hot they are?

No, no, no. We've done it hot athletes. Stop being a perv. No, that's what I'm... Why is he being a perv? I don't want to be a perv if you guys weren't going to be a perv.

No, it's how much we enjoy the sport. It's here. Let's have some respect. I'll only have some respect for... I'll only perv in a group, you know? Right. 100% I be a perv. No, it's on how much we enjoy the sport. It's here. Have some respect. I'll only have some respect for you. I'll only perv in a group, you know? Right. 100%.

I'm respectful. Just a triathlon or something. A group of people. No, I'm saying a group. Us as a group. Collectively, we could perv. No, we've perved at Olympics. We have ranked sport hotness before.

But this is just for the sports. I'm going to go gymnastics. Amazing. Gymnastics. Basketball going to go gymnastics. Oh God, the basketball's good though. Team USA. You can watch basketball any time. And it's not as good

as the NBA. And they never gel because they're not gel. Nah, they're not gel. They're a team of individuals. Yeah, and they're like enemies. Which is funny. I love athletics.

I love the sprints. I love the sprints and the high jumps. High jump. The shot puts. Because the high jump, you're like, they're going to get, they're going to impale themselves on the pole.

Oh, no, that's pole vault. Oh, that's pole vault. High jump's the one over the bar. That's right. Okay. Oh, my God. I love watching the pole vault. But are we just going to call that athletics?

Yes. Rather than like track. Because 100-meter sprints, you love those. I love those. Yeah, but nobody's. Boing, boing, boing. 100 meters, no one's beaten it by a second anymore. Yeah, true.

The record won't be beaten. So I feel like it's not as exciting as it was when the likes of Usain Bolt were. When there was one clear legend in the field, you're watching... Watching big athletes chuck stuff. What about the discus of shot put? I love the discus.

Javelin's the best in the throwing fields. What about long jump when they jump into that pit and they know? That's insane, eh? That's insane. I'm going to go diving number one. Yeah, we all know why. Go. Athletics.

Well, because it's incredible. God, they are spelt though. Yeah. I've seen bulges in all of these departments so far. Now, we cannot forget. You're describing a bulge heavy Olympics. Artistic swimming Remember we talked about

That's not synchronised anymore I love watching it Nah that's boring That sucks That's boring yeah Cricket I love the equestrian Wait

What list are you looking at I just googled Olympic sports And down here it says cricket Nah that was a That's been at One as like a show I think they had one At London

Did they have that at London Yeah Only previous Olympic appearance was in 1900. Yeah, ages ago. I'm a little bit behind. Yeah. I love the equestrian

because I just love the horses. Did you see that? Is it the British one that got... Why are we whispering? Why are you whispering? Got filmed whipping the horse. Oh. Like beating the shit out of it.

You think that horse is just going to do all that stuff without a whack? I know. We're all like aghast as if everyone else was like, oh God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not all beating the shit out of these giant animals. I love fencing. I love fencing.

I love fencing. Weightlifting. I love watching the huge weightlifting. Yeah. Gymnastics. Number one. For me. Because you just don't see it on TV any other time.

No way. Flick flacks. Flick Flacks. The men on the rings? The strength. Oh, yeah, that's it. It's insane strength. The floor routines, the ball and ribbons. I mean, curling's number one, but that's almost so far ahead.

We can't even include it. You've gone winter Olympics. I Google, I know, put it all in front of me and I'm excited. Archery's fun. Trampoline's pretty fun to watch because they're bowling so high. Yeah, they do. And we've got a trampoliner. Archery's fun. Trampoline's pretty fun to watch because they're bowling so high. We've got a trampoliner. A trampolinist. Dylan.

Dylan Schmidt. Yeah. Who is a very... Schmitty. Schmitty. He's a very excellent trampolinist. But is that gymnastics? Kind of under that umbrella I think. I'm going gymnastics number one. I'll go gymnastics with you number one. Athletics number two. I'm wrapping that all up together as I am the gymnastics.

And number three, I'm going fencing. Just to be different. Something very regal about it. And for me, I've always imagined I'd be quite good at the fencing. If I was ever to play a sport at the Olympics, I'd go. Because you fenced at your private school in Johannesburg. When I grew up in Johannesburg, it was my sport of choice at my school. So I liked to play that.

I played street rugby. Did you? On the street. Right. It was the only place where the bottles weren't broken. Right. So we bit, you know, hard when you hit the ground hard. I know, but this is what I like about us, Vaughan.

You know, we grew up so differently. And yet we're still great friends. United under one flag with too many colours. Well, South Africa have won. Why are you going to drop in here with that kind of

information? All Blacks topped the group though. Oh that's good. Archery. Archery is really rad.

It's mean eh? Now our friend Zane has just messaged saying he does feel attacked as a South African. Oh I'm sorry Zane. Attacked?

He's got two new friends. What's he talking about? Tell him to shut up I'll invite him around. Attacked? He's got two new friends. What's he talking about? Tell him to shut up. I'll invite him around. Attacked? I'll make him a lovely meal. I'll give him a deck.

I've been attacked. Not me, no. On the main streets of Chauffeur. I'd a bodyguard who would make sure that's never happened to me. I just wanted to get ahead of something because Vaughn did me a favour yesterday. What did I do? You, well, I'm doing a new gym program. Yeah.

And it was day one yesterday. Yeah. Right? And I was like, I'm going to go. Opened up my headphones to listen to something and found out that they weren't in there. So I just had an empty case. Where were the pods? They'd fallen out of my ears in bed.

Oh, right. And the case was next to it. So in the morning in the dark, I'd grab the case thinking, there they are. But no, they were rattling around in the sheets. Right. Anyway, so Vaughan Ellen Smith, who was such a lovely friend, said, hey, I'm not going to the gym. I'm a lazy POS. Yeah.

And you can borrow my headphones. And at first I thought, yuck, shove those in my ears. But you go over here. I go over. I used to go in ears, but then they broke, and I was like, I've just got these old over ears. Oh, yes. And they're fantastic.

They get a bit sweaty, but I hold water cupboard them, and I change like, I've just got these old over ears. Oh yes, and they're fantastic. They get a bit sweaty but I hold water cupboard them and I change the fingers and bleh. That's what I don't get is people do over ears at the gym and you're sweating in them. I definitely dribbled some sweat into your ear holes. That's right. Yeah. Okay. That's not the apology though because, do you know what, I did do you a favour

though because I sometimes at the gym I'll listen to filth and I thought, I'm not going to do that I'm not going to take your headphones Yeah they are Christian I knew I could feel the Catholicism as I put them on my head I would be riddled with Catholic guilt

Yeah I know so I just listen to music Fantastic. So I did that for you Devil music though It was Satan's own music for sure. I'm grunted at the gym. Anyway, so then I took them off and gave them a little wipe down because they were a little bit sweaty.

And then I didn't think anything of it and I had them in my car to bring back to you today. And when I got in the car this morning, it was flashing at me. And I left them on all night long. And they were flashing like about to die, about to die, about to die. So I've put them back in the case and I slipped them on your desk this morning to be like, I just won't mention it. But then I was like, he's going to go to the gym, right?

Get ahead of his weekend. And then he's going to get to the gym and put his headphones on and they'll be dead. And that's because of me. I've decided I'll start again next week. Oh, the gym? Yeah. But you bailed on it yesterday. Yeah, because of stupid staff meeting.

I'm telling you, this hobby is really getting in the way of my health. Your work. You mean your work? I've told you I'm addressing it as a hobby from here on out. It'll tell me how... Can we hear that? Okay. It's going to tell me how... Can we hear that? Okay. It's going to tell me how much.

Bluetooth connected. Bluetooth. Oh, God. Battery level medium. That's right. Oh, medium. Why is it flashing at me? These headphones are really good.

Oh, thank God. I actually felt... That's how you turn them off. Yeah, I didn't turn them off. I felt wrecked with guilt. No, no, no. Because if they're not connected to anything for a while, they turn themselves off.

Can I tell you the panic that I just felt when you hit Bluetooth connected, knowing that my phone was the last phone that they were connected to? And I might have said it enough. Get them away from the microphone, Maud! And then I was just going to autoplay and start playing the last thing you'll listen to. Get them away! Gotcha. Next on the show, it was just going to autoplay and start playing the last thing you want to see.

Get out of the way! Gotcha. Next on the show, it was a week ago that this big IT meltdown happened across the world. In fact, some airlines, like Delta Airlines, still struggling with the backlog of cancelled flights out of America. But there has been a little sorry from the company to some clients. Yes, there has been. It sorry from the company to some clients. Yes, there has been. It's a real tiny sorry. A tiny sorry.

I've got some numbers that'll make your eyes water at how much this outage cost. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. So major, I don't really understand how this happens, but a major IT outage, one of the biggest in history. Yeah, a week ago, it was Friday night a week ago, wasn't it? Yeah. Caused airlines to be affected. Had tons of companies. None of the supermarket machines worked. Like, you had to get cash out, and even then the machines were down.

It did what we thought Y2K was going to do. Yeah, basically, that the whole, like, world's computer system came crashing down. And it was all because of an update. Yeah. It cost Fortune 500 companies around $5.4 billion. That outage. I wondered what it was going to be. All up.

$5.4 billion. Yeah. So the company responsible for this IT outage have tried to make things right. You know, went like, this was major. We understand this. Yeah. Crowd Strike is their right. You know, went like, this was major, we understand this. Yeah, CrowdStrike is their name, an Austin, Texas company. That's right, yeah. So how they did it was, it was a flawed software update,

it caused all this chaos. So CrowdStrike came out and what they offered to those affected by this $5.4 billion. Yeah, their customers, who were affected by the $5.4 billion. Their customers. Yeah, their customers who were affected by the $5.4 billion costing outage. Can I guess? Yep. A discount on their ongoing. Oh my God.

That's the worst day when it's like a discount on something you still have to pay money for. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it was a $10 Uber Eats gift card. Per company. No, I think probably like a few, you know, to each company for their employees, maybe a $10 Uber Eats gift card.

You can't even buy a bottle of Coke with delivery. That five, that cost to the Fortune 500 companies doesn't even include like the New Zealand companies, the Australian, the companies all over the world. Like this would be billions and billions of dollars. Billions and billions of dollars. And they want to give a $10 Uber Eats voucher to say sorry? Yeah.

On Friday, the 19th of July, the stock price for CrowdStrike Holdings was $313 a share. It is now $255. Big drop. Yeah, because they're going to have to pay out a lot of money. More than a $10 Uber Eats voucher. At the end of the thing, we recognise all the additional work that that July 19 incident caused and all the chaos at the end of the email to express our gratitude.

Your next cup of coffee, your late night snack is on us. That's how they did it. And then they didn't even say that it was $10. You had to click on a QR code that would then take you to your voucher and that's when people were like, it's $10. As they say

themselves, literally enough for one cup of coffee. Yeah, and after you ground the entire planet to its knees. Amazing. So I thought perhaps we could get some calls and messages in around this. Like when you were so poorly compensated for something. Because, you know, those little tokenist things, it's almost worse than just saying we apologize.

This is what happened. It's like you said before, you have a bad experience with a company and they're like, well, here's $50 off when you spend money with us next time. We will take 10% off your next monthly bill. Yeah, it's like, no, no, no, no. You'll do what now?

I'm not paying again. Yeah, what you don't realise is I'm out as a customer. I'm done with you. Okay, 15% off your next order and free shipping. Sorry? Sorry, what?

Absolutely not. But maybe this has happened as well, like with a boss or something, and something happened and they went, you know. Oh, yeah, you said the boss says, you know, you'll be compensated, do all this over time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll be compensated fairly. And then it's like, we got you a one adult admission to Rambo's End. You're like, so what, I'm going to go on my own?

That's like when someone's been working for a company for years and years and then you see them leaving. Embarrassingly long service and they have a ceremony and they give them something. And a Costco sponge cake. And you're like, seriously? I know that guy! Are they good?

They are good sponge cakes. They are good sponge cakes. They're dense sponge cakes. I know, but as far as, I've been working for this company for 30 years, I want a gateau. You want a gateau. You want a dense, rich cake. You want a Bluebells Bakery.

I want a Bluebells Custom Bakery with my face on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not a Costco sponge. Let me pick the flavour too. Yeah, okay. I want to know how poorly you were compensated for some wrongdoing, maybe at a workplace or by a service, because that massive company that caused the huge IT outage

offered people who affected $10 Uber Eats voucher. Yeah. Even though it cost billions of dollars of damage. Yeah. All right, give us a call. 0800 DALES at M is the number 9696. Ruby, what were you compensated for? Okay, so I'll set the scene.

It was a couple of years ago. We were in an IHOP in New York, and a baby started choking on the pancakes. So it wasn't making any noise. It turned blue, jumped up, and I gave it the baby highway. Wait, you gave it the baby? But this wasn't your baby. This was a random New York baby.

Random New York baby. I don't know why I was getting fed pancakes at, like, four months old. Because it to me. But this wasn't your baby. This was a random New York baby. Random New York baby. I don't know why I was getting fed pancakes at like four months old. Because it's American. Because it's American. Because it's American. You've got to start them young, I think. You've got to raise them right. Now, Ruby, can I ask at this stage,

do you have any kind of background in first aid or? I've done a first aid course, so that is about it. Oh, wow. So you just went superhero mode. I'm going to save this baby's life. Yeah. Anyway, so I sent this baby. The parents reached out, the staff run over to me,

and they say, oh, my gosh, thank you so much. That would have been a lawsuit. For your good deed, we'll give you the Hero of the Day Award. And I was like, oh, well, it's going to be good. They turn around and say, 10% off your meal. But don't forget, you have to tip. Thank you. I was going to say that doesn't even cover the tip.

Doesn't even cover the tip. Oh, my God. And you just saved them a lawsuit of probably millions of dollars. Ruby, you saved a baby's life. Can we compensate? Let's compensate, Ruby. Can we make more of the week? You're about to see some real compensation, Ruby.

Yes, caller of the week. Let's call her of the week here. Caller of the week, Ruby, for saving a baby's life with the baby hind leg. The New York baby who wanted pancakes. Yeah. I'm crawling here. We've got a $50 McCafe voucher for you. Thanks to our friends at McCafe.

Well done. So much better than I have. Yeah, hell yeah. Get some pancakes. Oh, my God. Saved a baby's lifeer for you. Thanks to our friends at McCafe. Well done. So much better than I have. Yeah, hell yeah. Get some pancakes. Oh my God, saved a baby's life 10% off. That's ridiculous.

That's crazy. All right, keep your calls coming in 0800-DONALD-ZM-9696. How poorly were you compensated? We want to know how poorly

you were compensated because some of the customers from the CrowdStrike IT thing last Friday, this week, were sent a $10 Uber Eats voucher. Just for all the billions of dollars that we cost the world. Yeah.

You know, soz about it. Soz about it. After they lost that much money, probably it's all they could afford. Amber, good morning. How much were you poorly compensated? Well, I got offered a $50 voucher back to the restaurant where we got married. Oh, 50? After they almost killed my Nana-in-law.

Oh, my God. Now, let's not name this restaurant. No, I won't. It closed down after the earthquake, so it's not too bad. Oh, it's closed down. Oh, right, it's closed. How did Nan almost die? Did they leave a bone in a chicken bit or something? No, so she has a deathly allergy to mushrooms,

and we obviously told them that alongside a bunch of other allergies. Yeah. And they served up the potato dish with mushrooms in it, and thankfully my auntie had just taken a bite and managed to whack it out of her hand right before she was about to put it in her mouth. Oh, wow. But you got a $15 voucher.

Yep. Just as good as a man. There was a whole bunch of other issues. They added like another grand onto our bar tab without telling us. It didn't serve our cake. Well, technically it's now $950 they've added to your bar tab without telling you.

Oh, that's rough. Amber, thank you. Lexi, what was your compensation? Hi, so this was a few years ago now. Me and my brother and my mother were flying up north to see family. Yeah. And we were delayed by six hours. So we've been waiting in the airport and they decided,

oh, we'll compensate you all by giving you a voucher, a $10 voucher to the cast that was there. But they could only give the vouchers out to adults. So me and my brother were considered minors at the time. What? So we got a $10 voucher between three of us. Oh, that's rough. You could get a cookie.

And airport food is horrendous. Oh, yeah. That's why it's so good in Europe. They've got rules. If your flight's delayed by X amount of hours, they actually have to compensate you and refund your flight. Oh, wow, really? Depending on the level of how much it's been.

Because you'll lose a day somewhere. Lexi, thank you. Brad, what were you compensated? G'day, team. Hey, I worked for a company up in Auckland for 13 years and did a lot of work, A lot of overtime. Very loyal. Leading up to Christmas quite often. Every year we'd work

28 days straight doing 100 hours a week and it's just, you know. When I finally handed him my notice, I'd had enough and decided to move out into the country further away. For my loyalty and hard work, they gave me a fishing rod. Hey, give a man a fish.

Yeah. Feed him for a day. Teach him. Teach him. Feed him for a lifetime. Now, was it a nice fishing rod or was it like one of the budget ones? Oh, it was one of the budget ones. Oh, even worse.

A warehouse special, I'm sure. Oh, babe. All that hard work. Do you use it? Did you use the rod? No, I sold it for 50 bucks, so I could use the 50 bucks instead. Now, there's a businessman.

That's a businessman. There you go, 50 bucks. Brad, thank you. A couple of quick text messages. Someone's got the completely wrong end of the stick. We're talking about poor compensation. They said, we were delayed in Dubai for a day. We got put up in a hotel and then enough points to get a free return ticket from New Zealand to Europe.

Oh, no. That's exemplary. That's great. Of course, another week when we do, how were you? Over-compensated. Over-compensated. I nursed my mother through her cancer recovery, cleaned her house, visited daily, taking care of my primary-aged siblings. Yep.

At this stage, I'm thinking... Top of the well. What is this person expecting from their mother? They're just doing their daughterly duties. My mother compensated me by sleeping with my husband. Oh my God! What? More details needed.

Oh my God. More details needed. Wild, huh? Wild. So many people leaving workplaces after many years. Yeah. Worked for a company for 19 years. When I left, I got a voucher, which I worked out to be worth $6.84 a year of service.

My dad worked for New Zealand Rail for 60 years. Oh, wow. He's getting a train, right? He's getting a train. He's getting a whole train. He's getting free rides for life. Forever. He got a bouquet of flowers and a card.

Not even a morning tea. Not even a morning tea. Not even a morning tea. That's rough. Yeah. Somebody said, I got put in a leadership position in charge of a department that had famously always cost this big company lots of money. It was never making any money. Over the course of eight years, I completely turned it around, made it a very profitable

part of the business. Good. And then when I left, nothing. There was nothing. Wow. There was nothing. But there was a work event that night that I wasn't invited to because technically I didn't work there anymore.

So I went. You went? I went. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I drank as much as I could. Yep. I don't even vape, but I vaped all through the CEO's speech. And then my titty fell out on the dance floor.

Yeah, that's good stuff. I've got a hot date today. Yeah, good for you, man. Got a day date. We haven't been on a date for a while. That may have been brought up once or twice lately. Where are the kids? We're in a cost of living crisis. Kids are at school.

It's a day date. That early? It's a day date. It's an 11.45am movie. Oh. Deadpool and Wolverine. That doesn't sound like that shadow

thing at all. She's a, who doesn't love Brian Reynolds and Hugh Jackman? Is she getting a lunch out of this? Ah, it depends.

Is she getting a rosé? At the movies? Yeah. God no, that's top tier rosé. She can smuggle in a little, her own bottle. She can smuggle in a little out of this? It depends. Is she getting a rosé? At the movies? Yeah. God, no, that's top tier rosé. She can smuggle in a little, her own bottle. She can smuggle in a little bottle of rosé

if she's that keen. All right. Put it in like a sippy cup or something. God, the romance is alive and alive. I said to her, I was just like, do you want to come to this movie on Friday? And she was like, yeah, sounds great.

And so I was like, cool. And I got two tickets and then I said to Jared, do you want to come to this movie on Friday? Hang on. And he's like, oh, who are you going with? I was like, oh, Sade. And he's like, oh, no, no, it sounds like a date. I was like cool and I got two tickets and then I said to Jared do you want to come to this movie on Friday? Hang on. And he's like oh who are you going with? I was like oh Sade and he's like oh no

it sounds like a date. I was like we always go to these sorts of movies together. You can come on it. The MCU that's where the boys go. Right.

So you invited I think you've I think you've slapped the term date on this. Jared's not he said he's not coming on the date because he doesn't want

to sit next to us smirching. I was like there'll be no smirching. I'm not paying he said he's not coming on the date because he doesn't want to sit next to us smirching. I was like, there'll be no smirching. I'm not paying 30 something dollars. What? How much are movies now? Yeah, a lot. Wait, did you go on some kind of bougie? No, we're going on that, well, you've got to sit

on a big screen in a reclining chair. Oh yeah, the big screens are more expensive, aren't they? Yeah, they're more expensive. I really feel like you, Sade has asked to go on a date. And I know Sade well enough to know the kind of date that she's thinking of. She wants something that she needs to get dressed up for.

A winery. A winery, darling. A little date with Dwight Hicken Island, darling. But you, I think you've gone, I want to see this movie. I want to see this movie and you've slapped the date sticker on it. Yeah. You've got to do something before or after,

like a nice lunch. And some kisses and smooches and tell her she's beautiful. Well, afterwards, we'll probably just have to go get the kids from school because it'll be school pick-up time. And before, I don't know how long we're going to have to muck around here for doing work.

Yeah, quite a while. No, you think you might. No, yeah, we've got stuff to do. She said, oh, I'll just go early and do some shopping. I was like, no. That sounds expensive. No, just meet me there for the date.

Have lunch before you get there. Oh, my God. Cost effective. Have a cost effective lunch before our date. I have my lunch. Yep. And then last night. So no food, no wine, no smooches.

She said, what time's the movie? And I said, 11.45. And the girls were like, are you guys going to have a movie tomorrow? And we're like, yeah. And what movie are you going to go see? I said, Deadpool and Wolverine. And they both looked at Shardé

and were like, are you going to go and watch that? Yeah, this loser's taking it. And she's like, yeah, I think I've seen the first one. To which I'm immediately like, what? Have you not seen the second one? And she's like,

I don't even know if I've seen the first one. She's going to be asking you questions the whole time. I said, this date is now a silent date. There will be no questions during the movie. Wow. There will be no questions. I'll tell you if something cool is happening, because that's what I do at the movies.

So you just told your wife to ask permission to speak? Correct. Wow. It gets hotter and hotter, doesn't it? It's so hot. This date sounds so hot. Correct. It's going to be a great day.

Are you going to sort of like pick up the kids and then set them up for their afternoon and then carry on with the romance in the afternoon? Park up with a drinky poo somewhere together and talk about the world? Andy's got Friday night netball, so we'll go out there and get cold. What about later though?

Later and kids are in bed. Warriors are on at eight. Have to watch the Waz. I'm trying, Chateau. Listen, I in bed. Warriors are on a date. Have to watch the wars. I'm trying, Shadow. After that, I'll just be put. Listen, I'm trying. I've had a massive week. You've been really trying, haven't you?

I don't know, yeah. I love this poor woman. I'm just going to love it. No, she's going to find herself with a bottle of rosé in her wardrobe just going, how did I get here? In the wardrobe again. Wardrobe, why? While her husband plays pirates with his mates.

Yeah, but what? Can't we play pirates later on? Now we're talking. Watches the Warriors.. Wardrobe one. While her husband plays pirates with his mates. Yeah, but what go? We play pirates later on. Now we're talking. Watches the Warriors. Now we're talking. The Olympics officially kicking off tomorrow morning. We're going to cross to Paris next. Indeed. The 2024 Quatre Nils Ancient Greek Sporting and Athletics

Competition That's right It's happening It's happening Duly tomorrow morning Opening ceremony He officially kicks off Before it's even started

We're out of the sevens Yeah how does that work? It's We've got a man on the ground though Let's go to him now James McConey Good evening in France. Good morning in New Zealand.

Good morning. Good evening. Yes, I'm your man on the ground or Bonjour. Oh, bonjour. Bonjour. Beautiful French, James McConey. So what's happened this morning? We're already out

of the rugby. Yes, we are out of the men's sevens. They went down to South Africa. Apparently the all-black sevens had all the possession. They were banging on the door. But, you know, in the end, they should have used the doorbell

just like white stripes, you know? Just like the white stripes. You've got to ring the doorbell. You've got to. Oh, that's a white stripes, you know? Shots like the white stripes. You've got to ring the doorbell. You've got to. Oh, that's a disappointing start, isn't it? Oh, well. What's it like in Paris, though? What's the vibe like just walking around the streets?

Can we get a vibe check, please? Yeah, vibe check is I'm actually in Montpellier, which is in the south of France, the deep south, because I've been embedded with the New Zealand athletics team. I just hosted a quiz night for them. Oh. Some of the jokes, I don't know, Hayley, you'd probably say could do better.

It's all right. I'll get some feedback and I'll, yeah. Yeah, in the end, the Nick Willis joke about his search history did actually go down quite well. I'm glad you got to the point where you were just swinging for the fences. I like that a lot. Love that.

So, because I've been following lots of the athletes on the social meds and they look like they're just having a fun, chill, happy, relaxing time and you're hosting bloody quizzes and when are we going to get to the serious stuff? I know, it's quite tricky

isn't it because it's the calm before the storm. I was actually in Nice yesterday watching the Ollie Whites. Awkward name for a team but we'll go with it. Oh no, my mum and dad are there at the moment. You should have said hello. I should have pointed you out to them. Oh really? Is there a sprout on the

Ollie Whites? No, no, they live nearby. We don't need to get into this, darling. They have an apartment in Italy, darling. You must visit sometime. Oh, how lovely. That's beautiful living there. That's a beautiful, lovely old rose.

That's so lovely. But were there lots of Kiwis in the crowd? There were a few. There was those Kiwis that you sort of spot and you go, do I need to talk to this Kiwi type Kiwi? But then in the end, you talk to them and you go, actually, what was I even worried about? I love you, Kiwis.

Come on now, bring it in, bring it in. Lots of parents of players. Most of the Kiwis are on this one, or actually most of the crowd are on this one tram we're on, packed in like sardines we were, 30 degree heat. That was where my sweat levels went to all-time high. I'm looking at you for sponsorship, Rexona, who you got, Links Africa, I'll take it. Oh, you can't be over there representing New Zealand and Links Africa.

Come on now. They could do a special, like, flavour. Yeah. You could bless the rain in my legs, Africa, because there was so much. I was honestly Niagara Falls. Oh, darling. What are you, is there a sport,

because we actually earlier in the show, we ranked our favourite Olympic sports, and we were very excited about athletics. Gymnastics. Gymnastics, and for me personally, the fencing. Do you have a favourite sport that you're looking forward to watching the most? I actually like the athletics too.

I think that's the biggest deal. That's where it all started. Fully new, I might add, back then in the ancient Greeks. As it should be, James. As it should be, I think. It's one of the reasons I like the athletics the most because, God, you see a lot, don't you?

Oh, you do see a lot in the HD, the full 4K slow-mo. When they're sprinting. When they're sprinting. When they're sprinting, it's all going on. I reckon one event

they should have in Paris though, which is the main sport in Paris, is dodging dog poo because it's everywhere. And you've got to have your wits about you. I tell you what, you check one text or just see who's slitting your DMs

and for me that's a lot. I imagine. Yeah. And you're in a dog poo. Do they not pick it up like they do here Paris is filthy is it

yeah Paris smells like urine 24-7 well see I don't mind the urine I'm a bit of a bear girls when it comes to urine give me urine any day of the week

it's the dog shit that gets it it's the dog shit that I can't handle okay so James just before we go the opening ceremony tomorrow New Zealand time.

Do you know what we can expect? From then I hear it's Lady Gaga doing a duet with Celine Dion. Oh, really? Yeah. They're doing most of it on the river and I'm just thinking, sky rugged and flayed. It's a sniper's delight.

It is a big sniper's delight there. Oh, sniper's delight there, but I think I've already won. A sniper's delight. Gotcha. Gotcha. Okay, well, James McConey, thank you so much. A man on the ground there at the Paris Olympics. We'll revisit you in some time.

And you said something about fact of the day. I said, tomorrow's the one day that I don't know. I think I'm out.

So today's fact of the day is heaps of celebrities have changed their names. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I just think a little behind the scenes. A little behind the scenes. Earlier in the week, we talked about, what was it last week?

No, it was earlier in the week. I'm all confused. What day is it? Who am I? It's Friday. Where are you? You're all right, babe. It the week. I'm all confused. What day is it? Who am I? It's Friday. Where are you? You're all right, babe. It's Friday.

You're all right. You're all right? I said I got a new high-vis hoodie from the warehouse, and the warehouse heard that, and they were like, oh, thanks for the mention, and they sent two more. Now, when they arrived, Fletcher's like, where's mine? I wanted something. Now, I said to him, you don't want this.

You won't wear it. I just want it because you got something. And so I said, fine, put this on. You know those hunting sort of fleecy, high-vis ones. The orange so you don't get shot. I've got the orange one. So you're not going to shoot me thinking I'm a deer.

And then he puts it on. Piece of shit. Looks great in it. He looks great in it. He looks great in it. And do you know what? Georgia Burt, who's from rural Canterbury, is horny for it.

She's walking around. She just went to the bathroom. I know she's not going for a ways. I put it on Instagram. Shut up. I thought you were going to say she just went to the bathroom so she's unavailable for comment

and you just flat out insinuated she was off to deal with the photo she just saw. I put it on Instagram if you want to see him in this. I can't help. I mean,

I will say regardless of your gender and your current sexual preference. Current, it can always change. It can always change. It will bring lesbians back. It will push men over. You reckon me and Fleece will bring lesbians back?

Oh, will it? What? I'm going away with one of my friends who's exclusively women. I'm going to show her this. This is conversion therapy. And I'm personally against conversion therapy. Okay, right. Except in this form.

You know me, I usually like big, slightly chunky, hairy men. Not anymore. Not at this. A little waifu twink in studio. Maybe this is me now. I wear high-vis in the urban city. High-vis does. There's this woman who every time Sade puts up a video or a photo of me in high-vis,

the woman's like, I'll have him. Yeah. And Sade's like, look at this hungry, thirsty girl. And I'm like, yeah, it's the high-vis. It's fluoro. The only thing that'll stop you from being attracted to men in the trades is to actually renovate. Do you know what I mean?

Because the whole look of them, the look of them is definitely a tick, tick, tick. Then you deal with them and very quickly come out of that. Maybe I need to, yeah, go to hunting and fishing and get a fishing rod or something. What? No, that killed it. That killed it for me.

I had an erection. Get a little fishing rod. And now it's gone. It's gone. I literally saw that thing go. I might have to go to hunting and fishing and get a fishing rod.

No, it's gone. Now I'm confused. I've seen something so masculine. So masculine. You just femmed it up in me. I already femmed it. I'm so confused.

Maybe I'll get a knife with one of those handles with all the survival stuff inside it. A pocket knife? No, a survival knife. Like a buoy knife. Yeah. Oh, gosh. This is exciting.

Oh, now I'm back. I'm confused again. Wow. We're talking about knives and such. Do we still have time to do what we were going to do? I don't think we do. Probably not. I think we flag it.

We'll come up with something next. We're so close to going home. I am very close. So close. Very close. It's actually for me a privilege to have our audience here, and I respect every minute that I have their ears on us. I forget that they're even here.

Well, we're just hanging out now. You wanted to talk about a date that some woman went on. Shall we? Okay, yeah, go. Now? Yeah. You got me all flustered, though. just hanging out now. You wanted to talk about a date that some woman went on. Shall we? Okay, yeah, go. Now? Yeah. You got me all flustered, though. My heart's racing.

Came in here and said good girl. Even just saying that I did a little bomb in my mouth. Great show today, guys. Good girls. I'll be chemically castrated by my own sort of like endorphins and repulsion to that if that ever happens.
