Good morning, welcome to the show Fleshporn and Hayley.
It's two minutes past six.
Hello.
Hello.
Good morning.
Look, I'm happy to be here, but also one more week, guys.
You know, and then we...
And then holidays, yeah.
And also, like, it's not like we haven't
spent enough time with each other over the weekend, is it?
It's weird being here. We just didn't
take a break away from one another. No, I know it is.
That's always a weird one. In fact, we spent
more time together
this weekend. We did. What a fabulous
weekend. Oh my God, so much fun.
I'm reeling still. In New Plymouth.
We'll talk about this during the show.
Quite eventful.
I will just say I don't think we would have had as much fun if we were in'll talk about this during the show. Yeah, but quite eventful. I don't think, and I will just say,
I don't think we would have had as much fun
if we were in Morrinsville for the weekend all together.
As we all boarded the plane yesterday leaving New Plymouth,
we all said, hey, great hometown.
Great home, yeah, you do.
And then I did think about how we'd all do this.
I mean, Wellington would be fun.
That sort of speaks for itself.
More of an expensive experience.
Yeah.
Morrinsville?
What are we doing?
Well, the fun is where you make it, you know?
Fun is what you do with your heart and your friends.
Fun is where the friends are.
Exactly.
What a good saying.
Home is where the heart is.
Fun is where the friends are.
That works, doesn't it? That's so true.
That does.
On the way, the top six.
Christopher Luxon has loved the Crusaders since he was a little boy.
Because he filmed a video.
I love this.
This is so funny.
I would like to know.
He filmed a video saying, I've loved the Crusaders since I was a boy.
Now, the Crusaders didn't exist until he was about 26.
But I gave him a bit of that.
I was like, he just means Canterbury rugby.
You know?
But it was a misstep in an election year, so everybody had a pile on.
I love that.
But I also want to know, is he from Christchurch?
Why did he pick the Crusaders?
No, he doesn't have big Christchurch energy.
Where do you think he's from?
Auckland?
I always assumed Auckland. I did too. He's got real Christchurch energy. No, he doesn't have big Christchurch energy. Where do you think he's from? Auckland. I always assumed Auckland.
I did too.
He's got real kings or grammar energy.
But then every city's got that.
Christchurch.
He is from Christchurch.
Okay, I take it back.
I take it back.
Born in Christchurch.
Lived there until he was seven.
Then his family moved to Howick, Auckland.
Oh, I gotcha.
That's why.
Okay.
That's why you're saying you're from Rangiora.
No, I'm not. Yeah, exactly. I don't say. That's why. Okay. That's why I caught that. That's why you're saying you're from Rangiora. No, I'm not.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't know why you're distancing yourself from that beautiful Canterbury town.
Because I don't remember living there.
I grew up in Wellington.
He said he loved the Crusaders since he was a little boy.
Yeah.
So the top six other things that Christopher Luxon has loved since he was a little boy.
Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. that Christopher Luxon has loved since he was a little boy.
Well, a 60-year-old living in Essex.
Lindy is her name.
Oh, Lindy.
I love her name, Lindy.
I love the name Lindy.
Lindy.
Her Saab estate, that's a car, it's a Saab.
A Saab? You don't really see Saabs around much, do you?
Not so much
Her Saab, now they live on a farm
So this reminds me Vaughan of when you had your old Honda
And you'd transport hay bales in it
And it was a right mess
Oh the Saab estate's a station wagon
That's what you want
You can chuck a hay bale or two in the boot of that thing
So she has been crowned the winner of UK's filthiest car.
And like,
I mean,
look at it.
Okay,
what do we got back there?
What do we got back there?
Chippies.
Juice bottle.
Is that a bottle of Fanta?
It is a bottle of Fanta.
A bottle of Fanta.
That looks like a CD.
I thought that Fanta
was a different colour
to our Fanta, right?
Yeah.
What are the straps?
I think because they
banned some food colourings.
Oh, yeah.
You know the hundreds and thousands sprinkles?
Not as bright.
They're dull.
Yours is more tropical looking and ours is orange.
Orange.
Ours is, yeah.
There's brooms, broom handles.
Good.
You need a broom.
About 50 sets of strokes.
You need a handle for the broom.
I think a keyboard.
Lots of clothes.
Lots of hay.
Big water bottle.
Really long screwdrivers.
Good to get down into the bits.
Yeah, and the front seat, the passenger well,
that's an Amazon box that's unopened.
Empty cartons, food wrappers.
Mask.
That's a show sponsor McDonald's cup by the looks of it.
Yeah.
I mean, gross.
So how
do you win this competition?
You enter it
yourself. You submit yourself.
You do, yeah. So apparently
I don't know if this is a thing in
New Zealand, but in the UK,
a messy interior, if your car's super
messy like yours, Hayley,
it can be classified as dangerous
driving and you can get a fine.
Well, yeah, if you've got stuff rolling around,
it could get under your foot, couldn't it?
If that Fanta bottle you were just pointing out before,
if that rolled behind the brake,
you wouldn't be able to press the brake.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to clean mine today.
I know I've been saying that since I gave the Audi back,
but I am going to do it today.
It's got a piano in the back now.
How long is that going to stay there?
I guess until someone breaks it and steals it. No, just today. It's got a piano in the back now. How long is that going to stay there? I guess until someone breaks it and steals it.
No, just today.
It's today.
Today it has to happen.
Right, okay.
There's definitely some mould in there and I can't find the source.
And do you remember like how many months ago that I put a little bit of chocolate in the middle
and it melted through the cup holder?
Yeah.
I mean, that's got to be six months.
But where did the chocolate go?
It's re-solidified, covering the bottom of the cup holder.
I thought you said it melted through the cup holder.
No, no, no.
Right.
I just leave it through the bottom.
I'm looking for the ants now.
Yeah, but they're not coming.
They're not coming.
They're just leaving it.
Even the ants are too scared.
Yeah.
The ants don't go in there.
It sounds like you need to introduce an ant colony to your car.
Oh, yeah, that could do it. That's a really good call. And then when that's done, introduce an ant colony to your car. Oh, yeah, that could do it.
It's a really good call.
And then when that's done, introduce an ant eater.
Yeah.
They'll clean it up.
And then what gets the ant rid of the ant eater?
Probably a lion.
A lion.
A lion.
Okay, a lion.
Okay.
And then how do you get rid of the lion?
A poacher.
An 1800s poacher.
Okay.
More than a few lions.
A South African gay man.
No, no, no. I don't support long as good as me. Bang. More than a few, Lord. A South African gay mum nurse. No, no, no.
I don't have a
poacher as good as me.
Bang.
This is a process, man.
That sounds like
the way to go then.
I sort of thought
I'd take it to a groomer's.
He'll want to take
the whole lion,
so he'll gut the lion there.
Then you're going to
have a hyena problem.
Oh, yeah.
And the hawks.
Hawks will come in too.
The vultures.
The buzzards.
And then they'll poop
everywhere and then I've got a new problem.
And then to get rid of the hyenas,
you've got to get another lion.
It sounds like you should just
burn this car to the ground,
to be honest.
I've tried.
I've tried.
Next on the show.
Tip.
Tip.
Please.
Please.
Next on the show,
wouldn't you like to know?
Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Well, apparently Australians, and you can imagine it's the same over here
because we're just a slightly better but slightly smaller version.
Almost half of Australians have an easy-to-guess password
resulting in more than nearly $200 million
being lost to online scams and hackers so far this year
I got a new one
just because they can get into their accounts
yes
I got a new one, you know a new text one
oh who are they
pretending to be?
the parcel is waiting for delivery
because there was someone last week saying there was an
in New Zealand one as well pretending that you
you've got to check this link.
Yeah, I mean, there's got to be some people.
Yeah, well, I've been replying to them because they're just like 021 numbers.
Yeah.
I can't say what I said.
You did say some swear words, didn't you?
Yeah, like I said the worst swear words.
How is it that they're all texting from like 021, 027 numbers?
Yeah, I know.
But they can't do anything about it.
I know.
I just ring them.
I just like push ring and let it ring,
but no one ever answers.
They're like burner phones, I imagine.
Yeah, right.
Anyway, so yeah, $200 million basically lost.
75% of Australians reuse their passwords.
For the same.
I used to be really bad at that.
Like you'd have the same one or two passwords
to every single site that you sign up for.
Yeah, that's me.
But you'll never guess mine.
Like, mine's a good password, but I use it for everything.
No, but that's bad,
because then if your password gets, like, data-legged...
But I always put, like, a slight difference on them.
Like an exclamation mark.
Exclamation mark.
Or another zero, you know?
Yeah, you're right.
Okay.
Yeah, 73% of Australians
never change their banking passwords.
Which I think is a way,
if you don't change your banking password,
can't they be like,
well, tell me if your money gets stolen.
Yeah.
No, but then they should,
there should be an obligation for them to remind you.
My bank's never reminded me.
No, mine, when you log on every so often,
it's like you haven't changed your password in like X amount of time.
25 years.
I logged on to my bank yesterday
to see what damage I'd done over the weekend.
Can I say?
Do you know what I say?
The cocktail's added up.
Oh, my God.
I went last at the restaurant.
We went last.
Who?
We had a freaking boss.
Do you know he didn't pay for some fries? restaurant. We went last. Who the hell did you have a freaking box of?
You didn't pay for some fries.
I even picked up two or
three of the things we got for the table because I was like,
it's just going to fall on the last person.
It was us on Saturday night when we went
out to the pub after my show. We all went out
and then everyone was going up and paying and then
it was like just me and Fletch left and
there was still like hundreds left.
I was like, somebody did
not pay for their fries.
I paid for a table fries and
a table chicken only
because I pretty much ate a whole basket of myself
because it was so yum.
He gets hungry, doesn't he?
He gets nibbly and then he fills up and he's like, I'm not going to have room for my mains
and then guess what? Always room for
the mains. He does it.
But yeah, I saw the lip when she was like,
I'll just print off the receipt and you tell me what you want.
And I was like, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
Oh God, you never go last.
Never go last at a BWO or a restaurant.
Yeah, we really did.
We stuffed up there.
We did.
Anyway, Captain Generous over here.
But yeah, check your passwords.
Oh, that's what I was going to say.
I logged onto my bank yesterday and for the first time,
I was like, I better make sure because we're going away that this credit card covers insurance.
Because you know credit cards if you pay it.
And it was like, yeah, yeah, it was all good.
And I was like, you'll be impressed.
I even printed off my policy number and everything.
Oh, my God.
He's so organized.
And I saved it as a PDF and put it in my flagged folder.
Yeah.
Have you told your bank you're going overseas?
And then I, for the first time ever, told them I was going overseas.
Because I never tell my bank I'm going overseas.
And last time they were like, no cards for you.
Yeah, they cut your cards off.
Because they're trying to help you.
They think that some overseas company is ripping you off.
I should have been like that.
I should have.
That's what I should have said.
Yes, someone isn't Disneyland spending hundreds of my dollars.
I might say this.
Help me, help me.
The top six is next on the show.
Yeah, the top six things Christopher Luxon has loved
since he was a little boy.
Like the Crusaders,
which didn't actually become a thing until he was 26.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
From the panoramic ZM think tank,
this is the top six.
Oh, we are all so tired.
Look, we are going to give you everything we've got this week,
which is not a lot.
Two big nights in a row in New Plymouth.
My goodness.
Sorry, I was just trying to find the actual video
that would have added a certain genie-sacquot
to the top six that I have.
Christopher Larson telling us he's loved the Canterbury Crusaders
since he was a little boy.
He's been taken down.
I found a different one and he was saying
it's the only time you'll be seeing him support a team in red.
Ha ha!
Go the Mighty Crusaders.
That's what he said, but not that quote,
so it may have been taken down.
Right, so this is a video over the weekend
where he said he's loved the Crusaders
ever since he was a boy.
Yeah, a little boy.
Now,
NPC Rugby started in 1996?
Question mark?
No, NPC Rugby's been around for eight years.
No, no, no.
Super Rugby.
Super Rugby.
But before that,
of course,
NPC,
it's been called
a whole lot of other things.
So, but he was 26
when the Crusaders formed.
Correct.
Okay.
Yeah, so.
Is that a boy?
It's definitely not a little boy.
No.
Would have had a career by then. But anyway, people have It's definitely not a little boy. No.
Would have had a career by then.
But anyway, people have been dining out on this.
Absolutely.
There have been some great tweets.
It's pretty funny.
Pretty means Canterbury rugby, but at the same time, it's an election year,
and anything you slightly missay is a pile on.
It's perfect.
Oh, and if you're getting sick of it already, there's months more of this to go.
When is the election?
October.
Yeah. Let's just write off June. So July, is the election? October. Yeah.
Let's just write off June.
So July, August, September, October.
It'll be mid to late October.
So another four months of everything anybody says.
And you can like say,
oh, bloody leave Luxie alone.
But then if next time
you're piling on anybody else,
any other politician,
then really you've just
got to let it happen, right?
Yeah.
You've got to let pylons happen if you enjoy a pylon.
Let pylons be pylons.
Let pylons be pylons.
Yeah.
Not P-Y-L-O-N-S.
No, leave them alone.
Leave them alone.
Don't climb them.
Little Eiffel Towers.
The top six things Christopher Luxon has loved since he was a little boy
is today's top six.
Number six on the list, iPhones.
Remember little Luxie

Taking photos, sending
emails.
Number five on the list of the top six
things Christopher Lucson has loved since he was a little
boy. Facebook.
Oh my god.
He's actually a little bit naughty. He had it
before he should have because I think you've got to be 13 to have Facebook.
Yeah.
But he loved Facebook.
Yeah, messaging people.
Messaging friends.
Tagging people in posts.
Yeah.
Putting up photos.
Sharing memes.
Oh my God.
He loved it.
He loved it.
Since he was five.
Yeah, he loved the Helen Clark meme.
Since he was a wee boy.
He loved the Jenny Shipley meme.
Huge fan of the ship.
Number four on the list of the top six things
Christopher Luxon's loved since he was a little boy,
lime scooters.
Oh, I do.
Little Christopher loved getting on a lime scooter.
He'd do a jump and make a little ramp out of some plywood.
Yeah.
Do a jump.
And then take a video of it on his iPhone
and put it on his Facebook.
Yeah, he loved it.
Number three on the list of the top six things
Christopher Luxon loved since he was a little boy.
GPS navigation.
He was always tapping into satellites, wasn't he, as a child
and using that to navigate around cities and unfamiliar territories.
Loved Google Maps.
Loved Google Maps.
Ever since he was a boy.
Oh my God, we beat Google Maps yesterday.
We were dropping our friend Morgan off at the ferry
and it said 31 minutes.
We're like, no.
And we did it in 29.
Wow.
I love that.
Good for you.
I love when all of a sudden Google Maps is like, oh, no, no, no.
I didn't mean 31.
I meant 29.
Oh, it just adjusts.
Yeah, it just adjusts.
I'm just saying.
I think you might be speeding.
Yeah, I was just saying.
Yeah.
Probably your fault, actually.
If you get a ticket, don't blame me.
Number two on the list of the top six things Christopher likes and has loved since he was a little boy.
Kindles.
Yes, I love to sit down with one of his books, one of his Harry Potter books. Of course, that
was another book that came out in his early, early
childhood. I think that was
his first book. Yeah, it was.
He loved that book in 1997 on his
Kindle, of course. Yeah. And number
one on the list of the top six things Christopher
Lucks and his love since he was a little boy, courtesy of our friend
Matt. Teslas.
Yeah.
It's good. But
that's none of your business.
The fact that he has loved Teslas,
him and his wife, of course he met his wife when he was
a little boy as well. Yep. Loves his wife
been with her since. Business. Yeah.
And they both love Teslas, but
that's none of your business. Absolutely
none of your business. Since they were kids. Since they were little wee babies.
Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey.
Play ZM.
Oh, dude, I'm dealing with Wi-Fi here at work.
So my computer, for some reason, my laptop stopped connecting to the Wi-Fi.
So I was like, ah, bugger it.
I'll just hotspot off my phone.
I've got plenty of gigabytes. I blurt through the Wi-Fi. So I was like, ah, bugger it. I'll just hotspot off my phone. I've got plenty of gigabytes.
I blew it through the gigabytes.
And then at the weekend, I pretty much said to everybody
when we were in New Plymouth, I said,
unless I'm at the hotel or with Sade, I'm uncontactable.
On data, you're going to have to call me.
That is so frustrating.
Which was, you know what it was, though?
A little liberating.
We went for a walk, and I actually just enjoyed the walk
through the picturesque Bookie Quarter Park. Which I actually just enjoyed the walk through the picturesque
Boogie Quarter Park.
Yeah, we went to the zoo,
we went to the zoo, didn't we?
You got to push the button?
I got to push the fountain button.
Vaughn made the fountain come on.
Yeah.
I know.
That was really good.
I've got you.
You don't need to worry about it.
No, I can still do it.
I'm just shutting down that thing
that I was trying to log on.
Okay.
Do you think that's an M?
That's a little N.
No, that's an M.
That's a bugger, man.
Okay, look, we'll get Vaud onto the Wi-Fi soon.
Well, this song you hear in the background.
Synonymous with Titanic.
Yeah.
The James Cameron film.
By the way, he's been commenting on the submersible.
He has.
Because he's a little bit of an expert in the matter.
He is.
He's been the deepest of any human, right?
He went down in the Mariana Trench.
And when he came out, 9-11 had happened.
What?
Have you seen this?
What?
So he went under in the little submarine, right?
He went under into the thing.
He had sandwiches.
I always remember he took sandwiches.
He went down in the wreckage,
came back up, 9-11
had happened. Wait, and you were talking about
Titanic. Yeah. He's been deeper since.
Oh, right. He's been down
the Mariana Trench.
Oh, really? So he was down there and he came up
and they're like... He came out of the boat and was like,
man, that was awesome. He was like, so the biggest
terror attack in history has occurred.
And he was like, what?
And just got told.
Anyway, side note.
He's been on the news.
Why is he wearing a Fox motocross jersey?
I think he does.
Does James Cameron?
I think he's got some jumps on his farm in White Adapa. Does he do motocross?
I don't know.
All is forgiven if he does motocross,
but otherwise I don't think he should be wearing a motocross jersey.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Big Fox energy for a man in his 60s.
Yeah.
I can't imagine my mum rocking a Fox.
No.
I didn't think
anybody wore Fox anymore.
Fox, I thought
that was a 1990s,
like, no fair.
Maybe it's come back.
Yeah, maybe.
Who am I to judge?
The guy's worth
millions of dollars.
Shut up, Bourne,
and tell us about this story.
You'd think he'd be
like a rod and gun sweater,
though, wouldn't you?
Absolutely.
Big rod and gun energy.
Big rod and gun energy,
that guy.
Big rod and gun.
Very smart.
Yeah. You know? Always and gun. Very smart. Yeah.
You know?
Always looking smart.
Smart casual.
This song has had over 500,000 streams
since it was declared that the sub,
the Ocean Gate Titan...
Was missing.
Is gone.
Wow.
Yeah.
So because...
Oh, wow. Because people like Titanic and they're like, oh my God, I love that song.
Guys.
And then they listen.
No, it's because people are making jokes.
Yeah, no, and it is because people are attaching it to TikToks.
Yeah.
Which adds to its streams.
I was like, I did, I had a big fat lie down last night and just went on Instagram for hours.
Yeah.
So much like comedy content about people dying.
Oh yeah, the humour is dark.
And I know that everyone's like,
yeah, 70,000 people died here
and 100 people died here
and now we're saying about five people.
But it's a very interesting story, isn't it?
It's a very interesting way to die.
It just seems so far removed
from what the average person will ever experience.
You can't even comprehend.
Exactly.
All the videos showing what an implosion and that kind of pressure looks like.
Yeah.
And then you would die in milliseconds.
Wouldn't even know.
I know.
So that's why I guess it's so far removed from anybody's everyday experience that it seems like making jokes is fine.
Yeah.
Also, that story about the US military
have like this incredible technology.
They heard the implosion like days ago,
days before it was officially announced.
But it's mystery oceans.
Yeah, but...
Sorry.
Sorry.
When that key change happens... Who is Celine?
Are my nipples stiff?
They are.
Oh, they are.
I can feel it.
That's a real nipple stiff.
It is, it is.
It's a real nipple stiff part of the song.
No, but why didn't they tell anyone?
We're all like, oh...
Because they didn't know.
In the ocean, it's constantly like...
Everyone's like, what was that?
no one knows. I'd say whales from a hundred
years ago. Whales, because remember we did that
fact of the day about the world's biggest mystery
the ocean's biggest mystery sounds
and it could be like icebergs cracking
or like volcanic eruptions
under the water. Mermaids.
Could be mermaids. Could be mermaids.
Could be the kraken
wanting sweet revenge on us for killing his children,
which are just the giant squids, but small in comparison to him.
Well, there's another play.
There's another play to the Titanic theme song.
I also just think that's a reminder that that is a real belter of a song.
Oh, belter.
I've never seen Titanic.
I have absolutely no interest in it.
But that song is undeniably a belter.
You've got the only person in the world that hasn't seen Titanic.
No, we've got this weird group because I meet people and they're like,
hey, I haven't seen Titanic either.
And we give each other a secret little dojo respects dojo.
Yeah.
And then we move on with our lives.
Right.
I've loved balls since I was a young girl.
I loved going to the balls.
I didn't do as many balls as bloody Chanelette pyjamas. Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. I've loved balls since I was a young girl. I loved going to the balls.
I went to, I didn't do as many balls as bloody chandelier pyjamas.
Who this morning told us?
Nine balls.
Nine school balls?
Yeah, I've been to nine.
I was lucky enough at university we got to do a few,
but through high school I just went to all the ones around me.
One, two, three, four, five.
I think I went to like five maybe.
Right. Three of my own, because we had, two, three, four, five. I think I went to like five maybe. Right.
Three of my own
because we had fifth form,
sixth form, seventh form.
And then I went to some
fun school ones,
boyfriends ones.
Oh, right.
Oh, okay.
You've got a boyfriend.
You've got a boyfriend.
So Auckland Grammar,
not happy.
Some students have gone
to the media
because they are not allowing single tickets to be purchased.
You have to buy double.
This was in the news a few months ago as well.
Some other schools had this rule.
It was a few months ago was
you had to take a partner. You couldn't take a friend.
Or you can't just go
by yourself.
So Auckland Grammar's doing this now.
$305
covers the entry for you and your
partner, so you buy the tickets
and it's a double and they were like, well what if you don't want to take
someone then? They say you have to
Is it under the sea? What's the theme?
No, it's James Bond, 007
It was ours, of course it was
Oh is it? No, I was like
I'm sorry, I just wore it
It was so quiet
It was so quiet
I didn't even hear it So was so quiet I didn't even hear it It was so quiet I didn't even hear it
I didn't even hear it
So what did you have James Bond
It was the most eye rolling
I think we had an under the sea
Golden
Golden 007
Golden
Right
Yeah
Sort of avoiding
Avoiding
Yeah
What cinema
What company owns that
What's
James Bond
MGM
MGM So you were avoiding The legal James Bond. MGM.
MGM.
So you're avoiding the legal arm of the MGM by calling it something like 00 Gold.
Well, I had left high school in 2007, so that was why, 007.
Right.
Oh, gotcha.
So the Auckland Grammar Headmaster, Tim O'Connor, said the Prefix Ball, as they call it, is a highlight of the year and led by our Form 7 students.
7th Form. Yes. It's a formal event with partners. I thought they were going with Year 13 of the year and led by our Form 7 students. 7th Form, yes.
It's a formal event with partners.
I thought they were going with Year 13 now.
What is this?
They're going back to 7th Form.
Yeah, we did a mix, mixed bag.
It's a formal event with partners, not a dance,
and is optional to attend.
So basically, if you don't like it, don't come.
Don't go, right.
And then, so some of the guys, they also have the rule
that you have to go with a girl unless you identify as gay.
And they were like, so this is a whole new debate.
How are we doing this?
And what if you're bi?
Could you bring both?
Yeah.
Or could you bring two?
Polly.
Sure.
It's blurry.
It's blurry lines.
So you have to go with a girl.
You cannot go with a guy unless you are gay.
I mean, it's, you know, it's nice that they let their gay students bring me.
You also just can't go with a chum. Yeah, I know. Now, it's, you know, it's nice that they let the gay students bring me, but, um,
you also just can't go with a chum.
Yeah,
I know.
Now that's the thing is like,
I would like to bring my chum.
I went with my chum.
I think it's,
it's healthier to go with a chum rather than force it to take someone that you don't want to.
Because now you're going to just have somebody at the ball that has less connection to the person going.
I know.
And if you're a, if you're a young man and you don't have any close female friends,
then you're just there with some, like, dud chick that you're like,
well, I had to bring a girl.
Yeah, yeah.
Or you need to come out, which is a whole process,
especially as a teenager, and you're not even gay,
but you're just doing this so you can bring your chum to the ball.
Yeah.
You know, it's a lot.
And then a lot of people are saying, look, asking out a girl
is a really daunting situation, especially if you
don't even really want to hang out with
them. So a lot of them
are boycotting it and saying, we're not doing it.
We're not going. Oh, wow. Have your own ball.
Which arguably, I imagine, would be the more fun
ball. Yeah.
Anyway, have fun out there.
There's a milky situation. A brewing, like a cup of tea, which milk has no place in.
Okay.
Ah, that's just my own personal opinion.
God, I had a lovely Lady Grey last night.
It was so good.
A Lady Grey?
Lady Grey.
What's a Lady Grey?
Slightly spicier than an Earl Grey.
It's beautiful.
Like a chai or something.
No, I mean, it's got a little bit more going
on. Right. Yeah. Right, a bit more
leaf to it. Well, maybe he's making a cup of tea.
In the producer's booth,
a milky situation as a brewing.
Producer Jared, bring us
up to play. Good morning. Good morning.
Good morning. So, obviously
we have bottles of milk at work.
Yes. A lot, too. When they get dropped
off by the dude, there's a lot.
There's a lot of people working the building
and they distribute it to all the floors and all the fridges.
So we'd all agree that everyone theoretically in the building
has a daily allotment of milk.
Yes.
I don't use mine.
Yeah, I haven't used mine for three years.
I use a lot because you know I have a milky oats.
You have way too much milk in your oats.
He is using the whole show's quota of milk.
It's free milk.
Who cares?
I'm not paying for it.
And I have two coffees.
Your cereal is too wet.
Heavy on the milk.
So I'm using milk at work.
And my inheritance thanks you, sir.
Yes.
Because your parents are producing milk for the country.
Yeah, my question is,
would it be okay if I were to, like,
invest in one of these little coffee cup cups?
That's a little Frank Greenie.
A little Frank Greenie.
Oh, yeah, sort of a thermal cup.
Okay, yeah.
And then just fill it up when I leave work
to use for my protein at the gym.
It's an interesting one
because I feel the same
with the toilet paper. I don't take enough poops
here so every now and then can I take a roll?
No but you don't want the rolls.
Yeah you don't want the rolls.
It's the same sort of conundrum you know.
It's all eco-friendly here and it's definitely one ply
tree. Yeah.
So I thought I'd front foot this
and address you guys
the question first.
It's a good question and thank you for bringing it to us before
acting.
I mean
I think if you're going to steal milk from work
though, you don't tell people about it.
It's not stealing, it's exercising
my daily allowance. It's using it.
But it's the conundrum of going to a
restaurant or going to the Kuru Lounge
for Air New Zealand.
You're not allowed to take food out of it.
You can't stock up with the fruit and the bickies and whatnot
and leave with it.
You're not supposed to.
You're not supposed to, no.
Because you've got to have it at the place.
Well, it'd be like going to a buffet and you didn't eat much.
Should you take some home because you didn't eat as much as other people?
And all you could eat and you only had two plates.
If you compare my average plate size
versus Vaughn's average plate size.
And you're both paying the same.
I definitely deserve a backpack full of food.
I should take a backpack.
And also grab a bit more for me too.
I'll be hungry again soon.
I get hungry on the way home.
I'm pro Jared taking the milk.
It's not a lot. I couldn't care less milk It's not a lot I couldn't care less
It's not my milk
It'd be less than
a coffee cup of milk
Yeah
I just don't want you
to be fired
for stealing milk
I would fill it up
well before you left
because if that's a thermal cup
it will keep the temperature
Yeah true
And then be like
I intended to drink it
but then what do you want me to do
tip it down the sink
what an awful waste
It's such a waste
Yeah
There you go.
And then if they are like, you're using too much milk, you can be like, have you seen
how much milk Fletch puts in his eyes?
But on that work, eating breakfast, I'm allowed.
We're not a milky crew other than Fletch.
I think you're entitled to take the milk.
And you know what, Jared?
I give you my milk quota.
Oh, thank you.
And I also approve for you to have my milk quota.
The milk should be consumed on the premises.
Girls, are you giving Jared your milk quota?
Absolutely.
Blue though, right?
Dark blue.
Dark blue.
Dark blue.
He does the bulk.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
So you'll just put this in your...
Why don't you use milk in your protein shake?
Who's putting milk in there?
Be bulking, brah.
People who weigh more than me?
Yeah.
True.
Not a conundrum, my face. Today's silly little poll, do you still use Facebook events?
We were talking about this last week because lots of people have got Messenger but not Facebook.
And Facebook, you don't post on people's birthday, on their walls anymore for their birthdays.
And is the Facebook app redundant?
But then we were like, it's still handy
for events. Still handy for events,
yeah. Do you still use Facebook events?
62% of respawn
days said yes.
38% said no.
Huh. So how are they getting invited
to parties? Just messages?
I don't
do it for parties anymore.
Actually, I just got invited to a party on Facebook events,
attending.
Do you guys want to come?
What kind of party is it?
When is it?
Ray O'Leary's leaving.
I saw Ray O'Leary's leaving.
Where's he leaving to?
Melbourne.
He's moving there.
He's moving to Melbourne.
I'm very worried about him.
He doesn't seem capable of looking after himself.
Does he have someone over there?
Is he a very smart man?
Is he moving in with Mal Bracewell?
He's a very smart man.
We can only hope.
But Ray's one of those
incredibly smart people.
Yeah.
But he's just got
this huge blind side
to his life
where he wouldn't know
how to cook.
I want to see
what other events
I've got.
Or make his bed.
I don't know if Ray
makes his bed.
Right.
Incredibly smart.
He's very funny.
That's a win for Melbourne.
Oh, I'm doing an event on Friday.
I'm doing a stand-up gig, and that's got an event.
There's another birthday.
Yeah, I think.
Yeah, I don't know.
A lot of people still using the events.
Yeah.
Well, people replied, it's bloody handy,
and this is from a person who hates using Facebook.
Yeah.
Adele says, easy for kids' parties for family members
so you don't have to repeat the same information a million times.
If they've got a question, you send them the link.
Fair call.
Good.
That's great.
They have an FAQ.
Yeah.
Emily says, stopped years ago, but since having a baby, they're back big time.
That'll be all the babies events and the first birthdays
and the wriggle and rhyme and swimming lessons.
Sounds like a reason to delete Facebook.
Yeah, no thanks.
Emma said, I don't use Facebook at all.
Holier-than-thou attitude to social media. I'd love to not use it, but yeah, they get you, don't they?
Yeah, they get you.
Not quite ready to hit the delete button yet.
Well, we've got a building Facebook page,
and that's good for like what's going on in info and stuff.
In the building, yes.
So if that could be not on Facebook, I think I'd delete Facebook.
Yeah.
There's only a couple of things I'm holding on to.
Right.
Yeah, no, events are still very handy.
Yeah.
And like this one says, Alexandra says,
I only use it very rarely, like when we had a Thanksgiving potluck for 30 people.
Extremely handy to coordinate what people are bringing.
Yeah, right.
And you can do little polls and stuff in them too as well. Yeah, that's true.
Feel for it.
Carol says, oh my lord, is this not a thing
anymore? Am I one of those old people that
still use Facebook? No, Carol,
you keep on keeping on. Because you could
do like a messenger group
but then that gets annoying when there's
too many people on a group. Oh, we experienced
the very active messenger group
at the weekend. Yeah, and that was only,
what, 13 people?
Yeah.
Yeah, Aaron was
quite overwhelmed.
I thought he might have been.
Yeah.
When I added him
to the group,
I was like,
maybe this was a mistake
because he doesn't
really use it.
Yeah.
They fire through.
Travelling and living
in different places,
it's a great way
to see what's happening
locally and check out
new things,
says Danny.
Okay.
Mel, I gave up on Facebook at the end of last year.
Now they either have to let me know personally or if it's on Insta.
I don't think you can do events on Instagram, can you?
Maybe they just like message.
Message them or put them in a story that it's happening and then you can.
They're still friends with all these people.
They'll still let you know something's happening.
Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Unless you're kind of like
not really their friend
and they were just doing it politically.
And now if you're not coming
that's absolutely great
for them too
just to keep numbers down
a little bit.
Oh, see, now I can't delete Facebook.
No, neither.
Make it a little bit more personal.
Make it just a bit more
of a smaller,
more loving group.
722.
Play ZM's Fletch weekend in New Plymouth.
The weekend went for Fletcher's birthday
weekend and the Hayley Sproul comedy
extravaganza. Wow.
Yeah. Apologies to
any venue that had to host 13
to 17 people
at once.
We were a lot. Yeah, but gosh, they loved us.
Oh, yeah, we were buying stuff, weren't we?
God, yeah.
I think I need to whip around the gays
and ask for some sort of reimbursement.
As my wife generally drinks wine when we go out,
but because everybody was drinking cocktails,
she had to keep up with the Joneses,
and it ended up costing me significantly more.
Yeah.
What?
So you're saying
that the rest of the group
should have to pay you
a subsidy,
subsidise my wife's
cocktail problem
because she usually
just drinks wine,
let's say,
$11 a glass.
I was trying to push
the prosies on it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I didn't cocktail
because cocktails
are sugary for me.
Those are Proseccos,
by the way, yeah.
Oh, yes.
Prosies.
Prosies on my wife. She wants one onos, by the way. Oh, yes. Prosey. Prosey's on my wife.
Though, if she wants one, I'm happy to help her.
Yeah.
Happy to help her.
But a fantastic weekend.
Oh, it was so much fun.
Some people, it was their first time to my hometown.
And, you know, I always rave about it.
Vaughan gives it a bit of stick.
And it happens literally every time I go to New Plymouth.
Someone comes up to me and says, we're related.
Remember, it's happened like when we've gone there for like bangers, bingos and quiz nights.
Someone comes up and is like, I'm your second cousin.
And I'm like, oh, yeah.
And then they tell me how they are.
And so I met my second cousin once removed at the weekend.
Yeah, right.
Good morning, Shelly and family.
Shelly.
Shelly.
Yep.
Her great granddad is Uncle Graham.
You'll remember I was talking about Uncle Graham.
He turned 100.
Yeah.
You know what I really love is,
remember you guys gave me a bit of a hard time
because when I split with my doctor
because she was moving to New Plymouth
and I cried and we had a cuddle and stuff
and he said it was too much.
We met the doctor.
She gave me a cuddle.
She was pretty great.
She's great.
They've been in Afghanistan.
They've been in Sudan.
They had so many amazing stories.
Everyone in the group kept coming up to me being like,
I get it, man.
I get it now.
I get the doctor.
We get why you were sad when your doctor moved in.
She was a great doctor.
I totally get it.
She was a great doctor.
Good fun.
I got to push the fountain button at the park.
At Pukekoota Park.
Yep.
I tell you, New Plymouth really won me over at the weekend.
Yeah, we went to the zoo.
That park doesn't nearly get talked about enough.
It's a beautiful park.
It gets talked about a lot.
I would put it...
Very famous.
Maybe not quite on par with the Hamilton Botanical Gardens.
Whoa!
It's pretty good.
Yeah.
There's a fernary.
Well, it doesn't have the Instagram bait.
Nah.
That the Hamilton Gardens has.
Yeah.
Oh, it's got the bridge.
It had that big bridge.
Oh, yeah, like natural Instagram bait.
And it's got the free petting zoo thing up the top.
Yeah.
With capybaras.
No one told me there were capybaras in New Plymouth.
So cute.
That should be one of their top ten draw cards.
It's the words I just wrote in.
My only complaint about New Plymouth was the cafe we went to
that didn't let me have more than two sides.
Yeah.
Now.
It was a confusing situation.
I was a bit tired as well and a little bit hungover.
And I wasn't having a bar of it.
And I apologise for being curt.
But they wouldn't let me have more than two sides.
So then I just made everyone else put a side on what they were ordering.
It was very unusual.
And I played the system.
The young fellow.
Yeah.
He didn't like us.
Who was just doing what he was told, I think.
Yes.
He wasn't there to reinvent the menu.
He said,
there's a maximum
of two sides.
And I said,
literally,
I'll order next
and I'll just get a side.
And he looked at me
and he's like,
that's fine.
And I was like,
I'm just going to give
the side straight to her
and he's like,
that's fine.
Yeah.
And then she'll pay for it
when she goes up.
You weren't allowed
to order three sides.
No, remember,
and I wasn't allowed
to order just eggs. I had to pay for eggs on toast. But you didn't want the order three sides. No, and I wasn't allowed to order just eggs.
I had to pay for eggs on toast.
But you didn't want the toast.
And I said, but hold the toast.
And he was like, I can't.
I was like, well, just dude, eat it or throw it out or do whatever with it.
Yeah.
Right.
I was like, well, if the toast has to come, don't put the eggs on it and I'll eat the toast.
And then I'll give her the mushrooms.
Right.
So it became a lot more Confusing than it needed to be
It does sound like it
It does sound like it
And then the next day
Where did I go for breakfast
I've got to give this
Breakfast sandwich
A shout out
I can't remember
That eggy bacon-y situation
Over the road in the courtyard
No I can't remember
God damn
That was
Yeah okay
Well we're all never
Going to have it so
Okay
Well there was only
One blight There was only one blight.
There was only one blight on the weekend, and I didn't experience this.
I didn't experience it.
Did you see the pictures of it?
No, I didn't want to.
I accidentally opened it.
Someone did a big fat shit against the wind wand.
Now, as a recent Len Lye convert, my friend Alice and I,
while you uncultured swines were doing whatever on Saturday morning,
I think my wife slept for six hours
Alice and I
went to the
Len Lye Museum
and saw the kinetic sculptures
amazing
it was famous
yeah
and the building's
that wavy mirror
and you'd take a
amazing
so I'm you know
after all the
the ragging
yeah
that I've chucked
Len Lye's way before
because I had an
ex-girlfriend
who was related to him
so of course
there was a little bit
of ill feeling there
Lendraly there Lendrali
A Lendrali, yes
She was always shaking sticks
and bits of metal and I was like
give up, okay it's a family thing but he nailed it
and so I, the one
with the little motors and they go
I'm not doing a great job explaining it but the whole thing
beautiful and I came out and I said fantastic, I'm cultured
and then the next day, our friend Morgan comes back
from a walk along the beach side and she's like,
there's been a horrendous act against the wind wand,
the huge wind wand.
This is a famous sculpture.
Someone's taken a massive poo against it.
And it's not a dog.
It's not a dog poo.
No, that was human.
Yeah.
It was a Tabetian mastiff if it was a dog.
Only one dog capable of it.
Who is going to do
a human poo against a...
It's so public.
Someone who had not
been having enough fibre.
Yeah, right.
Was it sclipsy-sclipsy?
I didn't look.
No, no, no.
It was...
Oh, no.
It was a log.
It was a log.
There's plenty of fibre
if it's log-like.
No, no, no,
because it wasn't like...
It looked like it really hurt.
Oh, yeah, dehydrated.
Dehydrated, compacted, like four meals pushed into one.
Literally a public toilet, like 50 metres away from it.
Well, you've got to go.
And then we were all, someone's got to clean that up.
Yeah.
Disappointing.
Yeah.
A disappointing end to it otherwise.
Claire Seagull eats it. Top Trip Advisor. Claire Se Disappointing. Yeah. A disappointing end to it otherwise.
Top Trip Advisor.
Claire Seagull eats it.
It's the best outcome for everyone.
All I'm saying is if you're taking your dog for a walk along the waterway in New Plymouth this morning, especially
if it's a golden retriever, for God's sake,
keep it on its leash. Yeah. Because that might
still be there. The only
blight on an otherwise
perfect weekend.
It was perfect.
Play.
ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Now,
this is from Australia.
People have voted
for the sexiest professions
for men and women.
They have been named.
Okay,
our radio announcer's on there
because, you know,
hon, hon.
Well,
close.
But they've all got faces for radio.
She's got a real face for radio.
Now, okay, I'll give you the least sexiest, shall I?
Okay, yeah.
For both genders.
Designer, five.
Four, marketing execs.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
This is the least sexy.
Designer.
Yeah, I know.
Like a graphic designer or a clothing designer.
Just designer.
Bit of a smack in the face for a designer
who tries to make things look as attractive as possible,
apart from themselves, apparently.
Because they're making up for their own absolute mutated face.
Number three, politician.
Oh, yeah.
Especially in Australia.
Good Lord, some of them.
I know.
Really?
What's happened there?
Yeah.
Number two, web developer.
And number one, judge.
Those are the least sexy.
Judge developer.
Hardly fair to include spiders.
Throw something at him.
All I have is this very heavy metal drink bottle,
and it feels too dramatic to throw this.
Anyway, we'll move to the sexiest.
I'll go men first.
Okay.
Number five, mechanics.
Dirty hands, you know.
Shirt off under the car.
Yes, the girls are nodding.
We like a little mechanic.
You need a new carburetor.
What about the calendars?
I thought that would have been a big no-no.
That's fine.
They're getting hot and heavy at the workplace all day.
Ready to come home and absolutely let you have it.
Change your oil.
Yeah, change your oil.
Okay.
All my mechanics
who have ever worked on my car
have been like old mates.
Yeah.
Real old mates.
Number four,
yes, builders.
Hot!
Anyone in the trades.
Unless they let you down.
It's really unsexy
to be let down, guys.
I don't want to get into it.
It's really unsexy
to be let down by the trades.
Unless they let you down.
Yeah, yeah.
Or the sexiness disappears.
Number three, oh, far out, yes, police.
Police.
Cops.
Cops arms.
In New Zealand, we make our police T-shirts so tight in the arms.
I remember you were in that cafe and you saw that cop.
Oh, my God, that guy.
Yeah.
What was he?
Tight cop arms makes me hot.
Number two, doctors.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
We've got a doctor friend, don't we?
Yeah.
My friend, we had an accident.
This is years ago.
And we were in the A&E and she was lying on the table
and then the hot doctor walked in and she needed to pee
and she had to pee into a towel.
And he got the towel, you know.
What?
Why did she have to pee into a towel?
Because she'd hurt her spine.
Oh, so she couldn't move.
So she couldn't move.
She had to pee into a towel.
What about this?
I'm sure there's buckets.
No, but it was like now, now, now.
Like I've got to go now.
I've got to go now.
And so this hot doctor came in and she was like, no, not him, not him.
And then he had to put a towel in.
He held the towel and she weaned into a towel.
Yeah, it was such a bad night.
A&E doctors.
It's fine.
She's married with kids now.
Right.
Not to him, though.
I can't really hear the story of this night.
Me and we went in Wellington.
Through this park, there's a double flying fox.
Yeah.
In Brooklyn.
And we both went on it and we held hands, but I'm heavier than her.
So you pulled her down.
So I pulled.
I went further.
And then as I hit the end, she hadn't quite finished and we fell off and I pulled her down. So I pulled, I went further, and then as I hit the boof end,
she hadn't quite finished, and we fell off,
and I pulled her down to the ground.
She got winded and hurt her neck and spine.
Jeez.
And had to pee into a towel.
And had to pee into a towel.
In front of the hot doctor.
Is it fair to say, this may be generalising,
A&E doctors and nurses are a little bit hotter than the ones just at your GP?
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Because they're always in a hurry.
We have a friend who's a GP.
Yeah, I know.
You're already in his bad books.
Because this weekend I said only a GP.
A holistic doctor.
And I called him just a GP.
Yeah.
And he did tell me that water has memory.
He did not.
He did.
He said to me, I could prescribe you antibiotics, but what about an oil?
Yeah.
And I said, I don't know.
Rosemary will fix that.
Again, that's not true.
That's not true.
Yeah, okay.
Number one of the men's sexist professions.
And then he told me COVID was made up, but he did not.
No, he didn't.
Just every time he said COVID, he did quotes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He didn't.
Oh, my God.
You're in so much trouble.
Do you know how much those last comments, I heard about those.
I know.
He's upset.
Number one, firefighter.
That's hard.
It's a calendar thing.
And it's the, like, risk.
Their job is nothing but risk.
Yeah.
I mean, it's hanging out and playing PlayStation at the,
a lot of hanging out and playing PlayStation.
No, they save lives.
Do they have a PlayStation?
Some have PlayStations.
They must do, yeah.
If you're spending that much time,
you might as well have PlayStation.
Yeah. But must do, yeah. I've just been in that much time. You might as well have a PlayStation. Yeah.
But they literally, their job is just putting themselves at risk the whole time.
That's sexy.
That's selflessness.
And they're, you know, muscly because they have to hold their giant homes, don't they?
You've got to think, all these people use their hands.
Build a mechanic, police officer, you know, like risky doctor, risky firefighter.
If you had to pick one off the list, which one is your favourite?
Cops.
Yeah, because of the arms. They're traumatised in the soul because they've seen too much firefighter, risky. If you had to pick one off the list, which one is your favourite? Cops. Yeah, because of the arms.
They're traumatised in the soul because they've seen too much.
Yeah, yeah.
But is that both genders as well?
No.
No, women.
Here's women.
Number five, I've got a degree in this, actors.
Yeah, but the good ones are good looking.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why I haven't been hired for a bit.
Number four, teachers.
I'm not going to.
Teachers.
Yeah, but that's that weird, there's something there.
If you say librarians next, we're definitely going to be in the kink territory.
Well, I'm nearly there.
Secretary.
Number three, you know.
That's a problem.
I was going to say, all of these these professions you can easily get stuck somewhere.
That's problematic
in the power dynamic
of finding a secretary
sex is well
that whole mental thing
of they have to
do what you want.
Reflecting
so number two
for men as doctors
number two for women
as nurses
Right.
Again I think
you're sort of thinking
of an outfit
that doesn't actually exist.
Come on guys
we're better than this.
And Lesbians
you've probably voted on these hot women as well, lesbians.
No, I reckon they'd go with the mechanics, the builders, but female.
Female versions of them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How hot is a female mechanic?
Far out.
Number one.
Do you need a moment?
No, I've just followed this.
Anyway, number one.
Let's just say I follow a woman, she's just shaved her head,
and now I'm following her much harder.
Number one, flight attendants.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
They always look nice.
They've always got their hair done and stuff,
but they always just look like, shut up.
They always look like this.
Which I think could be hot.
Hello, sir.
How can I help?
No, sir, I think you've had enough.
Shut up.
Yeah.
Anyway, there's this list from Australia, right?
Yeah.
We want to hear your list.
Like, what for you is the sexiest career?
And when you see someone with this, you're like,
that's going to be hard to say no.
Because they have names for, like, badge bunnies.
Badge bunnies.
Is that what they call it?
So you're like, I go for copsies for the... I go for cops.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How many cops?
I've had five cops, you know.
I've had no cops, by the way.
No, no, no.
When did you squeeze these in?
Just before I met Aaron.
We want to take your calls now.
0800-DARLES-AT-M-9696 to text in.
Is there a profession that you just find so hot?
Yeah.
And maybe you've got a bit of a...
You've clocked up a few. And maybe it's not on the list. Like, you're find so hot. Yeah. And maybe you've got a bit of a, you've clocked up a few.
And maybe it's not on the list.
Like you're just horticulturalists
really turn you on. Maybe it's
baristas.
Yeah. Just the way they do that
they tap that thing real hard like
boof, boof. Yeah, yeah. And you
tap me. Yeah, yeah.
Froth the milk and oh. Females
are the land for me. Oh yeah. Females are the land for me.
Oh, yeah.
Females are the land.
Women of the soil.
Like farmers or...
Horsey women?
Nope.
Nope.
No, no, no, no, no.
Because the crazy...
I've got a rule about crazy.
All horse girls are crazy.
Is that your rule?
I'll go on record and say it.
Wow.
Okay.
And they look like horses.
Yeah, they do.
They tie their hair too tight.
It's bad for their brain.
I think it's the extremely tight French plaits they're doing like horses. Yeah, they do. They tie their hair too tight. It's bad for their brain.
I think it's the extremely tight French plaits they're doing on themselves.
Give us a call. 0800-DARLS-AT-HEM is the number.
9696.
Text in.
Someone just text in lumberjack.
Yes, yes, yes.
What is the sexiest career?
Well, out of Australia, the sexiest professions have been named.
Men, firefighters, number one.
Women, flight attendants.
So we want to know
if there's a profession that absolutely
does it for you. Pilots.
Remember yesterday?
We were literally on the ramp boarding our flight
yesterday and Hayley's like,
in any hot pot, are they hot?
We did have a large
group of homosexuals with us over the weekend as well.
We were all like looking in the thing on those little planes like,
yeah, left is okay.
Yeah, and I was looking back at the little tractors that they have at New Plymouth
and we were all having sort of an erotic moment.
Something for everybody there on that trip, wasn't it?
It really was.
It was just the perfect weekend.
Some messages in.
Well, there is an Instagram response here from a young Matthew McLean
who says, breakfast radio show host.
So he's his first day back after his long honeymoon in Europe
and already back to flirting with me.
Very, very deeply.
Breakfast with him later this morning.
You will see.
We are.
Black keys with Mac keys.
Danny says, firefighter, police, army and rugby players.
Not army.
I haven't seen too much.
Female.
The ears.
Where are we at with the ears?
Yeah.
If we're talking rugby.
Where are we at with the ears?
Oh, you want a back.
You want a back.
Oh, you'd want a forward, though.
You like the big tall boys.
Yeah, I like a white lock.
She'd be a flanker or a lock.
She'd be a white lock. She'd be a flanker or a lock, yeah.
Sam Whitelock.
Yeah.
Who literally is my boyfriend.
Like, don't you think Aaron and Sam?
He could be a member of the Whitelock family.
There's a theme.
Jack said dental hygienists.
They love to hurt people, and that's kinky.
Shout out to Karen, you hot woman.
Lumino, not Eden.
That's wild.
And policemen, especially here in New Zealand,
can be to the Irish police officers who just look like glazed hams.
We want to talk about the sexiest professions.
There's been some studies in Australia.
Just at the bottom of this, a former escort has revealed
the job's guaranteed to make a man good in bed.
She said academics... That sounds like something we could do. Let's do that tomorrow. Save, save, save, save, save the job's guaranteed to make a man good in bed. She said, academics...
That sounds like something we could do.
Let's do that tomorrow.
Save, save, save, save, save.
Let's save that for tomorrow.
Make lightweight.
Make light work of tomorrow.
All right, we'll tune in tomorrow and I'll tell you who's good in the sack.
Long tease.
It's a long tease.
A lot of messages and a lot of calls as well.
Let's go to Tessa.
Tessa.
By the way, that is my input for the show tomorrow.
No, I just brought it up.
Yeah, but you wanted to do it now and I said let's do it tomorrow. So I feel like I've already is my input for the show tomorrow. No, I just brought it up. Yeah, but you were the one who wanted to do it now,
and I said let's do it tomorrow,
so I feel like I've already done my part for the show tomorrow.
Tessa, will you be listening tomorrow?
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
I will be.
Okay.
Stay tuned, Tessa.
Thanks for tuning in.
Tessa, what is the profession that you just love?
Okay, well, I didn't know just about myself for a couple of years.
Oh, my God. She just cut out. Oh, no. I didn't know just about myself until a couple of years ago. Oh, my God, she just cut out.
Oh, no, I really need...
Is it chorus?
She was going to say radio announcers.
Oh, we just got the bomb.
Can we try and get Tessa back?
Because I really want to know...
Emma, what is the profession that you just love?
Morning, guys.
You guys have talked about it before,
but we used to own a butchery
here in Christchurch, and they were very well known
for the hot butchers. Oh, I do
remember this. This is the cashmere butcher.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember
my butchers. Wow.
I haven't seen them in person, but just the
thought of a man cutting me
a loin.
A man with a flea beret.
A man with an extremely sharp knife.
Yeah,
it gets worn hot
under the collar,
doesn't it?
It does,
it does.
I think it's the banter
and they're a little bit flirty,
you know,
a little bit kinky.
You've got to have
a sense of humour
in that kind of side
if you're cutting up animals,
don't you?
Absolutely,
but then standing there
in front of you,
you know,
playing with meat
and it's like,
far out.
Sharpening a knife's very sexy, too.
Did they use a steel when they sharpened it?
Yeah, yeah, that's it, the way they get, yeah.
Give it a couple of leather rubs.
Yeah, and threading the sausages.
Oh, yeah, the hand work.
Wait, is that a euphemism, or are they actually threading a sausage?
The machine.
Somebody just messaged in.
She might not know it anymore, but I can still say the sexy butchers are there.
Still there.
Still there.
Thank you, Emma.
Tessa, we've got you back.
What is the profession that just gets you going?
It's the arborist for me.
Oh, yeah.
Dude, they've always got like stacked shoulders
and arms from like climbing trees
and axiling and chainsawing and axing
and working there, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't actually know this until
we had a whole team of them here taking
some trees out and I was about
36 weeks pregnant on the
10th.
Yeah, obviously I was about 36 weeks pregnant on the 10th. You were all horned up.
Yeah, obviously I was.
Were you like, do you guys need some Raro?
You just want a little pint of Raro.
Vaughn's my personal arborist.
It's a bit weird.
I don't quite get it.
Yeah, he doesn't do it the same.
I do chaps though.
What I was, Tessa's lost all her mojo there
when she was like, oh yeah.
Oh, Tessa's lost all her mojo there when she was like oh yeah Tessa thanks you call a couple of messages
to finish up
chefs
hands down
somebody said
something about a burly man
delicately playing with a meal
and plating it to perfection
when he looks like
a big lumbersome fellow
yeah
and he's doing like
a little dollop of juice
somebody said
I get a little excited
when I hear
the armed offenders squad
is getting called.
Oh, not the armed defenders.
Not the armed offenders.
Armed offenders.
Because it's a squad
dealing with armed offenders.
God, what if there was
a situation
and there was
an armed defender
holed up in a house
but the house was on fire
and then you've got
cops, armed defenders
and fire and fire.
Oh my God.
And I'm in the house.
And it was a butcher's house and he comes home halfway through.
But there's an arborist on a tree outside.
Yes.
And on that tree that he is trimming,
there is also a beast,
a cattle beast being hung
to be filleted by the butcher.
Yeah.
When we arrived in New Plymouth on Friday,
we, what did we do first?
We had a few, did we chicken?
We went straight to a bar.
We went straight to a bar.
I was trying to go if there was anything else we did before then,
but there wasn't, was there?
No.
Okay, so we got there and we all checked in
and then we went straight to a bar.
And then we were walking down the street past the beautiful Pride Crossing.
Well, actually, no, to be honest, the first thing we did was we went to the Wind Wand.
Pre-poo.
Pre-poo.
If you missed earlier.
Someone did a huge poo against the Wind Wand at the weekend and that was yuck, but this was pre-poo.
Or at least we did not see the poo.
No.
And we went to the Curvy Ladies.
Yeah, we went up.
There's a little seat.
The Coastal Walkway.
Yep, Coastal Walkway.
Did a little loop.
Did a little loop.
Before the bar.
And then we went, there's a Pride crossing there,
and we crossed that,
and then we were crossing across to the rooftop bar,
which in New Plymouth is one storey high.
Well, technically it is on the roof.
It's on the roof.
That building does not go Dear hire
By the way
Friday afternoon
It was 19 degrees
It was like
We were all just like
What is going on
Are we in Fiji
It was so good
And so bad
At the same time
Because that can't be right
Anyways
As we were like
Walking there
There was this crossing
And a small set of lights
And it was like
The light went green
And this woman in the car
Beeped immediately And we were was like the light went green and this woman in the car beeped immediately.
And we were all like...
We had a green cross.
We definitely had a green man to cross.
So we started crossing
and then it started doing that thing
where it was flashing red saying,
soon it's going to be time for you to not cross anymore.
But because there was like 13 of us...
We were a big pack.
A big pack of people.
It took everybody a while to cross the road.
But don't distract. We were taking the time that we were allocated. Yeah. And then a big pack. A big pack of people. It took everybody a while to cross the road. We were taking
the time that we were allocated.
And then a woman got pretty hot on the horn.
I didn't even know where it came
from. I was like, are you serious? We only just
started crossing. So we all
went, you've got to imagine a group of
I'd say 13 extroverts
all going, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what are you doing? Calm down. Her window
was open and I was right next to the car when she beeped. And it was loud. And I just said to her, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing? Calm down. Her window was open, and I was right next to the car when she beeped,
and it was loud.
And I just said to her, I was like,
whoa, that's really loud.
That's really loud.
And then everyone was sort of like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
And then this woman who looked incredible,
she looked like a character out of Coronation Street.
She had like almost like a purple rinse kind of perm,
set hair thing.
And then she flipped us the bird.
She gave us the most skinny erect bird you've ever seen.
And we just lost it.
We just laughed so hard.
Again, 13 rambunctious extroverts absolutely laughing in your face.
So she flipped another bird.
She just birded us.
It was bold of her
because she was in a car small enough
that 13 people could easily
have picked it off its front wheels.
So she could not have driven anywhere.
We could have picked that car up.
Easy peasy.
Easy peasy.
It was so unexpected.
She looked like she was having a really bad day.
She had a bad day.
She was real grumpy.
She was really grumpy.
She pulled her fingers.
She was in her 70s at least.
And I was like,
oh, it's okay.
And like Wade said, have a nice day. And that always makes people who are having a bad day have a worse day. She was very grumpy. She pulled her fingers. She was in her 70s at least. And I was like, oh, it's okay. And like Wade said, have a nice day.
And that always makes people who are having a bad day have a worse day.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I come across quite disingenuous with any kind words I have to say.
At the best of times, yeah, yeah.
So I think that sounded super sarcastic.
So she just kept ripping the fingers at us and swearing as she drove away.
We were just so shocked.
It was so old school.
Let's just assume she had a really bad day.
Yeah.
Poor thing. Oh, good for her. I mean, assume she had a really bad day. Yeah. Poor thing.
Oh, good for her.
I mean, I hope her day got better.
Me too.
I don't know.
The only, like, negative or bad experience, really, in New Plymouth was the whole week.
It was so lovely.
Yeah.
I know.
What about the waiter?
Then we got to this rooftop bar, and shout out to the waiter who looks like someone from
Van Halen.
He looked like Eddie of Stranger Things.
Yeah.
The hair on the scar.
It's beautiful, pearly hair.
We had some beautiful waitstaff, actually, at the weekend.
All round beautiful people.
I told you, you always poo-poo and you plummet,
but I said we're all beautiful people and it's a beautiful place.
And you had an amazing weekend and there were beautiful people.
Everybody was fawning over that waiter at the other place we went
and I said to him, and everyone was
betting where he was from, Argentina,
Italy, somewhere in the Mediterranean.
I said, excuse me,
we simply must know whereabouts
you're from. And he said, Oakura.
And he said it like that too.
Oakura. I don't know if you can
ask people that.
Did he have an accent?
I thought he did have an accent? I thought he did
have an accent when he was asking what's next.
It sounded sexier.
I wanted I need to know.
Alakura.
Bless the people of New Plymouth, including the woman who flipped a bird.
Even the woman that flipped the bird and tooted and
swore. She didn't spoil our weekend, in fact she made it.
Next on the show,
you've got a new family of chickens.
I've got 10 new chickens, baby.
It all happened real quick.
It was unexpectedly quick how this all went down.
Was this a marketplace or a trade me spur of the moment purchase?
No.
Old school.
I'll tell you how.
Yeah.
And also we need some names.
Yeah.
Now all your last ones were a member of the Kardashians.
Correct.
They were the Kardashian hands.
We've got two left.
Mind you, Kim's not looking too good.
Kim's got a big bald spot.
That developed over the weekend.
No, Kim has to be the last.
No, Rob is going to be the last.
But without Kim, Rob's nothing.
Excuse me.
Without Kim, Rob is nothing.
So we kind of need a suggestion, and there's 10 of them,
which makes it harder.
Yeah.
We've got to have a theme that runs through 10.
All right.
Fletch came up with a good idea.
I'll tell you what it is next.
It's a big brainstorm next.
Play.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley.
So a couple of weekends ago, we were driving to Netball.
Take my daughter to Netball.
And we were going a slightly longer way because Daddy wanted a treat from the bakery.
Daddy deserves a treat from the bakery.
Daddy wanted a delicious treat from the bakery. Daddy just wants a treat from the bakery. Daddy wanted a delicious treat
from the bakery.
Get it, daddy. And we were driving along
and I saw a sign on the side of the road that said pullets
and then a phone number beside it. Now, for those who
don't know, a pullet is what a chicken is between
a chick and a hen.
It's a teenage chicken.
Oh, okay. A pullet. It's just before they start
laying and that's
kind of when you buy them and get them settled in.
Are they moody?
Probably pretty angsty.
Are they pulling my leg with their BS?
Pull it.
They're pulling it.
We got there in the end.
So I rang the number, and I talked to a lady,
and she said, oh, yeah, I think my husband's latest order's all spoken for,
but I'll take down your number, and we'll give you a call if anything pops up.
And I was like, I know chickens are hard to come by
because the eggs and the cost of living and everybody was like,
let's get some chickens.
So everybody's just ramming some chickens in the backyard.
Everybody's just like, ram, ram, ram, ram, ram, ram.
Whether we've got the space or not.
Ramming a chicken in there.
Well, you had chickens growing up.
It's so good for eggs.
So great for eggs.
And great for scraps.
Yeah.
I'm looking forward to chucking them in the veggie garden at the end of winter
because they'll go around and they'll scratch all the surface.
Dead bodies.
They'll eat all the weeds and tanks of wine.
No, those are the pigs.
Oh.
You've got to get pigs for that.
That's what it's the pigs for.
Yeah, right.
That's what we've got the pigs for.
Dude, if you're using chickens, I'd be checking on those bodies.
Bodies.
But mind you, a chicken will eat a dead thing in a paddock.
Will it?
Will they?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a dead possum and the chickens had it.
All the soft bits.
The chickens really liked it.
And then they turned it into eggs.
Now that's a magical transaction.
That's, I don't know if I want those omelettes.
Roadkill to omelettes.
Ta-da, I'm a chicken.
So I got a call yesterday as we were about to get in the shuttle to head to New Plymouth
Airport to come home from our weekend away.
Unknown number.
I thought I'd better take it.
Hello, Vaughan speaking.
And hey, mate, are you still after those chickens?
And I said, oh, yeah.
And he said, all right, I'll see you at about two.
And I was like, oh, I don't know if I'm going to be home at two. He's like,
2.30 later. So I was like, okay.
Let's just try to be home by then.
So, yeah, and then
this guy pulls up and he's like, here's your chickens.
And then I put the chickens in the house and then we've got
chickens. Wow, that was quick.
It all went from no chickens to 10 chickens pretty quick.
That was quick.
Super quick.
But they need names.
They need names.
Now there's 10 of them.
Now your last chickens, you had eight.
Eight chickens.
And you went for all members of the Kardashian's extended family.
Yeah, and it was like a few Jenners.
Yep.
Caitlin Kiley and Kendall were the Jenners,
and the rest were the Kardashians.
Rob and Kim are the last two chickens remaining from that.
But they're not laying.
We've had them for like nearly four years.
Oh, wow.
We've had our chickens for a long time.
And they don't last forever.
This text machine is popping off.
Give me some.
Okay, the Avengers.
Oh!
I feel good like that.
Because when we were at the airport yesterday
and you said, oh, I've got 10 chickens arriving,
we were kind of spitballing some names.
And I suggested, why don't you name them all
after former prime ministers of New Zealand?
Which I really like.
And then you can have the hen hive as the beehive.
And my first suggestion was Jacinda Ardern.
No, your first suggestion was Helen Clark. Oh, Helen Clark. And then Jacinda Ardern No your first suggestion Was Helen Clark
Oh Helen Clark
And then Jacinda Ardern
Everyone laughed
Yeah yeah yeah
And then I said
Henny Shipley
So we got three
And then ran out of

You'd just call it like butter.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day is about orcas, a fascinating creature.
And at the moment they've been in the news because they've been flipping boats.
Yes.
A bit more than normal.
Because no orca has killed, there's been one case of an orca killing a human in the wild.
And it was a surfer who everybody said did look a lot like a seal.
Well, that's the thing, you're in a wetsuit. look a lot like a seal. Well, that's the thing.
You're in a wetsuit.
You look like a delicious seal.
Yeah, skinny.
Seals are chewy, much like a wetsuit, et cetera.
And some seals have like rip curl on them and stuff.
So it's an easy mistake.
I prefer billabong.
Billabong seals.
Billabong seals.
Or a Roxy seal.
You're a Roxy babe.
Yeah, I'm a Roxy babe.
You know me, I'm a hashtag.
Roxy babe.
Underscore. Roxy underscore babe.
Just like your seal ancestors.
So people are saying, people who study orcas,
let's call them orcalologists,
are saying that they believe this isn't like an act of aggression
that they are turning to and will become habit.
They believe this is a viral cultural trend amongst the Orcas.
Oh, my God, like on TikTok.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
How are they seeing?
Hashtag viral.
Hashtag viral.
Like, how are they seeing,
or how is it getting from one side of the world to the other?
Well, they travel as pods.
And this started happening in Europe last September.
Yeah.
And has kind of spread around a little bit since.
Yeah.
But they do believe that orcas do participate,
especially young orcas, just like young humans,
participate in viral trends, viral cultural trends.
Oh, my God.
This is wild.
For studying, a long time for studying orcas
has shown that this is indeed a thing.
In 1987, a female orca was spotted in the Pacific Northwest
with a dead salmon draped over her nose.
So a big salmon killed it and then draped it over her nose.
Yeah.
And then over the next six weeks,
individuals within three pods in the area
were all sporting veils of decaying salmon.
And then it spread further down the Pacific Northwest coast,
where other orcas were spotted with salmon strapped over their heads.
Were they just like, hey, guys, look, I've got a hat on.
Guys, check me out, check me out, check me out.
I've got a salmon hat.
Got a fish hat on.
What do you guys think?
Oh, my God, that fish hat looks so good.
And then they all started wearing dead fish hats.
Oh, my God, that's wild.
And it spread down the coast of Canada
and down into like the Pacific Northwest of America.
So this isn't the only time things like this have,
they said that they had never in a specific pod
seen an act that they later called kelping,
which was a mother orca goes off hunting
and the calves lie upside down in kelp.
Right.
Now, they believed it was done because it felt good,
but in all the time studying young calves left by themselves
while their mothers hunted, they'd never seen it.
And then they started seeing it more and more in the surrounding pods.
So when they see each other in pods, they communicate somehow this trend.
Yes, they do.
Wow.
They're very smart creatures and they do, they...
Well, this is bad news for sea kayakers, isn't it?
Well, the thing is they get sick of it.
They do these things.
It's like any trend.
They do it for a while and then they get sick of it.
We did planking a lot, didn't we?
God, we were planking.
Remember when we were all the time planking?
I did five ice bucket challenges.
Yeah.
I keep getting sick.
Yeah, now we don't do the ice bucket.
Now we just got over it.
Yeah.
For it.
So they said another one that they noticed
after studying orchestras for a very long time
was two particular pods,
whenever they came together after a long absence,
did an elaborate greeting ceremony.
Oh, yeah.
Like a handshake with your pals.
Yeah.
And it's your group handshake.
So they'd do it,
and then they noticed that more and more pods
were doing long, elaborate greetings. And they'd do it and then they noticed that more and more pods were doing long,
elaborate greetings
and then they said
it just started to fade out
and no one was doing,
none of the orcas
were doing it anymore.
It's so fascinating.
Yeah.
And they said
probably the most worrying one
was when they'd surround a dolphin
and play with it to death.
Yeah.
Oh, no,
that's not a nice one.
Just kind of like
effectively bullying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like when you film your fights down at the bus station
on the way home from school.
They just play with this dolphin until the dolphin died.
So today's fact of the day is young orcas partake in cultural trends.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. It's actually been crowned the world's ugliest dog of 2023. Does it have fur?
Nope.
Yeah, I think I know.
Chinese crest.
Chinese crest, yeah.
The dog or the type of dog that wins this all the time.
Every year.
Tongue hangs out to the side.
He's got sort of like wispy old man hair and hairy ears.
Yuck.
I want to say looks unlovable.
But someone loves him.
It's like those cats with no hair.
I'm just like, no.
Yeah, I don't like them.
I think they're quite intelligent cats, though.
Yeah, they're bouge, but they're not nice. They look like a scrotum, though, don't they?
I mean, you've got to trade off intelligence for beauty, then.
I love giving Murray a big pat, like a big.
Yeah.
And he's just like, pet me.
Because he's dumb.
So this dog's had a bit.
Scooter was born with his hind legs that face backwards.
Sorry.
He was born with his legs on backwards.
But his both of his hind legs face the wrong way.
Like when you take.
He can't walk.
When you take legs and arms off a doll and then put them on the other launches.
Yes, yes.
The wrong way around.
And then turn their head around.
Yeah.
And be like, ha, ha, ha. And they've got a bum on the wrong way around. And then turn their head around. Yeah. And be like, ha-ha.
And they've got a bum on the front.
Yeah.
And tits on their back.
Yeah.
Well, he was so ugly that the breeder of this dog took him to get euthanized.
Aw.
But was rescued and adopted and now walks with the aid of a snaggledized cart.
Oh, he's going to drag his back legs around.
I must admit, I quite like seeing the dogs that struggle to walk,
the videos of the dogs that struggle to walk to get a little cart.
Of course.
And they're making a run again, and they just look real happy.
Yeah, very resilient pup, they say.
No one's rushing out to get one of these dogs.
So his other competitors that he beat, Wild Thing,
a seven-year-old Pekingese with no teeth,
and Rascal Deux, a hairless mutant with different coloured eyes and a loose tongue.
Is he like the hairless mutant?
Do they do like a global casting call for this ugliest dog?
Like, do you submit a photo?
How does this work?
I think this is part of a competition done in California.
Oh, right.
So I'm sure there's ugly dog competitions all around.
What was that dog that I was petting lots at that bar?
That was a St. Bernard.
It was a small St. Bernard.
Because I thought it was in Newfoundland.
It's so cute.
I want a dog like that.
It was pretty cute.
Lots of hair though, long.
Oh, did they have lots of hair?
So cute.
Well, you saw it.
It had a lot of hair.
You know, it kept petting it did have lots of hair. So cute. Well, you saw it. It had a lot of hair. You know, it kept padding up. A lot of long hair. I don't know that we
do, they call that
the California competition, they call that the
world's ugliest. Right.
So I don't think that
New Zealand has a specific
one.
Well, there's a gap in the market.
We should do it. Do you think?
New Zealand's ugliest dog.
ZM's ugliest dog.
Yeah.
Right.
But what's the prize?
Do we have a prize?
We'll get a sponsor.
We take it off your hands.
We take it to a farm.
Free euthanisation.
Yeah, free youth.
That's the prize.
And a trophy.
Yeah, of course.
And a photo with Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
No one's going to enter.
That's not a prize. It's a punishment. Yeah. For having an ugly dog. No, we course. And a photo with Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. No one's going to enter. That's not a prize.
It's a punishment.
Yeah.
If I have an ugly dog.
No, we'll reward you for loving it regardless.
Yeah, totally.
Dogs are so lovable.
They all deserve a life.
Even this ugly thing.
Play.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
When did I last?
Was I here when I had vertigo?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've known you to have vertigo.
Yeah. She's got vertigo. I've got vertigo. Everybody. She's got vertigo. I I had vertigo? Yeah. I'm telling you to have vertigo. Yeah.
She's got vertigo.
I've got vertigo.
She's got vertigo.
I've got vertigo, vertigo on the floor.
And I'm spinning and dizzy like never before.
And I'm clinging to the desk.
Okay, so vertigo is a symptom rather than a condition of itself.
It's a sensation that you or the environment around you is moving
or spinning. Yes.
I get this when I lean my head
too far back. Do you?
Yeah, if I'm like lying flat,
yeah, if I lie on the couch and then I go like
wah and be dramatic and put my head off and it goes
too far back, I get it. Or even if I sat
here and I lean too far back, I can feel it coming on
as I stand. Right, yeah. So how's it caused?
Well, the last time I had it, it was an ear thing.
There's something, the crystals in your ears get out of whack,
and then so your balance is all off.
We have to recharge your crystals in the moon.
And I missed the full moon.
Sorry, I'm stuck.
I'm stuck for weeks.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
No, your ear, you've got these little ear crystals or something like that,
and then the way I got rid of it last time was this, like, technique.
Everyone will know what I'm talking about if you've had it before. And you move way I got rid of it last time was this like technique.
Everyone will know what I'm talking about if you've had it before.
And you move your head, then your shoulders, then your head.
And there's like a system and it puts it all back.
It was the weirdest, most like, kind of felt a bit hocus pocus.
Right.
But it worked.
Really? I literally walked down there and was like, oh, thank God.
And last time it started when I got into my car.
And you know when you get to reverse and you like that, and you flick your head behind you?
Yes.
And then my eyes go guh, guh, guh, guh,
and the whole world goes jing, jing, jing, jing, jing.
So you can't take anything to fix it?
No, I don't think so.
You've got to get so sore at your crystals, babe.
It's a nerve.
Okay, right.
Is it a pusher?
Because sometimes for me,
it feels like a lint on a nerve.
Yeah, I don't know.
Oh, that's so weird.
I know.
I don't know why it's come back. I do flips in the
pool. Yeah, yeah.
If I do like a flip in the pool.
We need you doing flips in the pool.
I haven't really been doing a lot of flips in the pool.
Not into the pool, I'm already in the pool.
Oh, you're doing underwater flips.
Yeah, I haven't been in the pool.
I'm the household champ for how many flips can you do underwater
in the pool. Me too. Four.
And I get to hold the side of the pool and I'm like, let me do that again.
I'm better at the back ones.
I'm better at back flips in the pool.
Okay.
But I haven't been doing them.
But yeah, this whole time, if I look at you like I'm losing the plot, it's because you're
dancing in front of me.
I'm going sideways.
You're like jolting away.
So that's another little fun thing.
Fun thing to sort out.
I mean, after seeing your show at the weekend,
Ailments, your comedy show, which was very fantastic.
To which two doctors attended.
Two doctors were there.
Yeah, yeah.
They can back up your list of ailments.
Yeah, I know.
And Dr. Shawnee, who recently I went to with a couple of rashes
and what I suspected was MS.
Yeah.
When I told him I had vertigo
he's sick of hearing it
really
he's just like
what now
sure you do
but then when you said
crystals
his ears picked up again
because he's holistic
he's a homo
he's homeopathic
yeah
you were in so much
trouble for calling him
he was so upset
about you
calling him a
let me guess
the cure for this vertigo
is amethyst
some rose quartz well if you enjoyed that give us a rating He was so upset about you calling him that. Let me guess, the cure for this vertigo is amethyst.
Some roast quarts.
Well, if you enjoyed that, give us a rating and review and be sure to tell your mates.
You know what?
I reckon your script reading is getting better.
I think it is too.
I give it five stars.
Thank you.
Just like I'd give this podcast.
I'm telling my friends about your script reading too.
Thank you.
Much like I'm going to do about this podcast.
Thank you, Vaughan and Hayley
for that.
Good boy.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
