Driving to work with the sun up Yeah We should do it more often It's nice at the summer year It's starting to peak over the horizon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Busy though, so good morning to everyone who's on the roads this morning.

Coming up, the top six lookalike competitions everywhere. Everywhere. There was the Paul Meskell one, and I loved watching the, oh my God, what's his name from the beer? Timothy. Oh, yeah,hee Chalamet. Did they do a Jeremy Allen White one?

Jeremy Allen White. And they all turned up with their white t-shirts and their blue aprons from the beer. With curly hair. Timothee Chalamet actually went to his one, didn't he? He did. Glenn Powell did too. Yeah. That's the, I think that's the aim of the lookalike competition, right?

Well, I look at the top six celebrity lookalike competitions we don't need. Okay. We don't need them. Right. We don't need them. We don't need them. There lookalike competitions we don't need. Okay, we don't need them. Right. We don't need them. There's a few that we don't need. Fair enough. Some celebs we don't need more than one of.

We barely need one of. Correct. Play ZM's Flashborn and Hayley. A great piece of journalism, an opinion piece, if you will, out of the UK, has actually sort of highlighted something I've noticed for a while. Because being a millennial, when I was growing up, everyone was really, there was definitely fashion trends, but everyone was really categorised into these different looks.

There were the goths, the preps, the sporty ones, it was like everyone kind of had this bold look. And people have been noticing that Gen Zs are kind of not this bold look. And people have been noticing that Gen Z's are kind of not really doing that. They're not really expressing themselves as boldly as say previous generations when you had Black Punks and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, why do you

think that is? Well they were saying almost dressing in this uniform and they're calling it the return of the jeans and the nice top. Fantastic. Jeans and a nice top. It's a winning combo. I've said this all my life.

I know, jeans and a nice top. They're calling that almost in itself almost an anti-rebellion. You know what I mean? They're going like, we don't even need to subscribe to these sort of genres of fashion. We can just wear plain tops and baggy jeans, and that's it. That's all we're going to do.

And for example, someone snapped a little pic, and they put it online, of a group of Gen Zs out on the town, all wearing sort of minor variations of the exact same blue, low-rise, slightly baggy jeans, and a nice fitted black top. sort of minor variations of the exact same blue, low rise, slightly baggy jeans and a nice fitted black top. Yeah. Jeans and a nice top. Wow, there's like, what, 15 of them and they all look the same?

Is that acid? No, that's not acid wash jeans. No, like a stone wash. Stone wash, that's the one I'm after. Like a stone wash. The light blue, yeah. Yeah, yeah, acid wash was like a light tie dye. Yeah, it was, wasn't it? Whereas, you know, back in, like, I just went through so many very identifiable.

Sorry, guys. Did you get bored already? No, I was just dealing with an issue. What's that been? Somebody messaged in saying they can't find a station on iHeartRadio. And because I'm KPI driven, I'm going to send them the link to the live stream. Oh, you're a good man. Actually, bring that KPI bell, please. Oh, so you're opening up the live stream. Oh, you're a good man. Actually, bring that KPI bell, please. Okay, you're opening

up the live stream. Good. There you go. That's good. Good to know you're on business. Copy link. But do you notice this as well? Like, I feel like it was, there was fashion sort of groups were more, like subcultures were more defined a while ago. Yeah, definitely.

Now everybody's just in a white fox. My children, it's all just like a white fox hoodie or a leisure club hoodie and every single person's wearing them. They were saying like the jeans, the white Adidas Sambas or some version of Vajar or whatever shoe. Like that's all very similar.

But it's easy, isn't it? I know. It's easy. So one Gen Z has sort of chimed in on it saying like my mum and dad were these big personalities, big party goers, very unconventional. So they would sort of really express themselves through fashion. Nothing I could wear would shock them. So almost I'm shocking them by not conforming to this

and just wearing jeans and a nice top. Okay. And they're like, you know, people say it's a bit tragic, the jeans and nice top trend on TikTok. I was like, this has been a trend for a long time, honey, but welcome. Yeah. Why shouldn't it be a uniform for me and my friends? It's easy and comfy.

None of us look tragic. Whereas we look back and go, oh, my God, I went through this phase. It was tragic when I was wearing. So many photos you look back and you're like, that was pretty tragic. I reckon one of my most tragic moves, granted I was like 15, was wearing double fishnets. So I'd wear a tight fishnet. Yeah.

That'd be red, tight red fishnet. Yeah. And then a wider fishnet that say would be black. Yeah. And I would layer them on top of each other. Oh, okay. With some sort of lace tutu. Did you think you were in Paramore or something?

Yeah. And some sort of oversized blazer absolutely covered in badges and patches. Did your, you know when you buy like a turkey roll at Christmas and it comes in that red mesh. Yes. Kind of that situation. Almost. I would have slipped those up the calves. Yeah.

Whereas Gen Z's going like, I don't want to look back and be tragic. Yeah. Plain top jeans, you can't go wrong. Can't go wrong. Play ZM's slash Vaughn and Hayley. Guys, I just have a quick update on the person that messaged in saying they couldn't find. Oh, yes. So I'm worried about if this could be an issue.

You're really, really concerned. Oh, I'm hugely concerned. This is for those listening on iHeartRadio. They said, is there something wrong with iHeartRadio? I can't find your station. I sent them a link. They said it's all just American stations. And they said, I deleted the app, re-downloaded it.

Now it's working. Okay, interesting. Sometimes you can turn it on and off at the wall. Yeah, that's the app equivalent of an on and off, right? Pretty much, yeah. Yeah. Okay, pretty well. That's fantastic. Great to have you listening this morning on the iHeartRadio app. And if you do miss the show live, download the

podcast as well. That's right. Look at those KPIs. And actually, if you're in the car this morning listening and thinking, I'm just having such a good time laughing out louder with Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley, well, turn us on the iHeartRadio app and take us with you where you go. Okay. Great KPIs. Really great. Actually, it's almost the KPIs done for the day.

Pretty much. Yeah. Front loaded the show with KPIs. Now, can we, I want to share a love story. So, so moving and beautiful, but I do want to distance myself from the people and the crimes they committed okay I just want to preface that

two things can be true it's a lovely love story but they're horrible people they didn't let things like prison walls, barriers restrictions get in the way of love, these people. When you say restrictions, you mean a lifetime in prison?

I do. Do we know their crimes? Yeah, we do. Do we want to talk about their crimes? Oh, okay. Well, Daisy. Daisy Link is currently serving a long sentence. Daisy Link.

Daisy Link is her name. Effectively, her name is Daisy Chain. Daisy Chain. We'll call her Daisy Chain actually. In a West Miami correctional centre. Okay. She's been there since 2022 and was convicted of second degree

murder. So she's got a little order though I reckon. Okay. Okay. What does that mean? She didn't hold the knife but she was there? It's the equivalent of manslaughter. You didn't plan to kill somebody but you ended up killing somebody. Whereas murder is like premeditated, right? Okay. Well, despite the fact that she's been in prison for over two years,

prison guards were baffled when she realised that she was pregnant. Goodness. Now, how did that happen? Naughty prison guards. You hear of this happening? You do hear of this happening. That was everyone's first thought, right? However, not the case. Because the father of this

child is another inmate held at the same correctional facility, however, in the men's section. I was going to say, do they have mixed prisons? They don't mingle. They don't mingle, but they're in the same building divided by internal walls. Right. So it's like men's

and women's clothing within one store. It's like men's and women's clothing within one store. It's on a different floor a lot of the time in farmers. Yeah. That's right. You've got to cotton on one side's men,

one side's women. Do you know the men's wear is always either on the top floors or the basement. You've always got to go through. The women's always get the best levels. Because we're the priority and we're the money spenders.

Yeah, the women are the money spenders. Yeah. Right, but we get more toilets. You get priority and we're the money spenders. Well, you're the woman and the money spenders. Yeah. Right, but we get more toilets. You get more toilets. Okay, so that's just a thing in life we have to deal with, men. Man, I'm so sorry.

Our toilets take up less space. So that's why we get more toilets. And we get, we can have urinals. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But still,

but do you feel aggrieved? I mean, I know you don't do a lot of shopping, Vaughan, but do you feel aggrieved when you have to go like five floors up? Like, say you're overseas in Australia? I mean, I know you don't do a lot of shopping Vaughan but do you feel aggrieved when you have to go like five floors up like say you're overseas in Australia?

No, because I do more weeing than I do shopping. I'm not talking about toilets. No, I'm saying I balance it out by having, you know, my choice of places to urinate.

I actually watched a YouTube vlog of one of my favourite YouTubers yesterday was her birth vlog and she tore her perineum giving birth to a child but I really feel for you

in your basement level men's clothing. Yeah. It's on par for the things that we suffer as genders. Maybe in a department store we could be on the ground floor for once. Yeah, well, okay. Well, there's an idea. Anyway, why is she pregnant? Why is Daisy Chain pregnant?

So in this facility, there is another fella, right? In the men's section, his name is Juan Depez. He is being held in the correctional centre also on murder charges. Oh, so they're great people. So they've got common interests. Well, no, I can see what's happening here. What? They've taken so many lives that they want to repopulate the earth.

It only seems right to balance things out. They've taken one each. They're still at a net loss, though, aren't they? They are at the moment, but give them a chance. Still at a net loss though, aren't they? They are at the moment, but give them a chance. Still at a net loss, yes. So they struck up a connection when they realised that through air conditioning vents in their cells that just by chance connect from his cell to hers,

they could hear each other chatting and whatnot. So they started a conversation. They're like, we've been in isolation for so long. We're moiterers. You know, we're bored in here. So they would spend hours and hours talking. Now, despite the fact that they have never met in person, how did she get pregnant?

Well, Juan started... Oh, God, I don't know if I want to know this bit. I want to say, essentially, he started hiffing his sperm through the vents. So they're separated by a wall that has a vent in it. Yeah, multiple walls. They say it's like an L-shaped vent like this and it drops from-

You're never going to be able to get that semen around the corner. They did. So he would start to deposit his semen into a little bit of plastic every day about five times a day. for him for a month straight roll it up like a cigarette in this little bit of plastic and then attach it to a line that they had eventually worked out like they'd connected bits like a string connected this plastic

filled with sperm through the string and um got its way into her cell, right? And then... It got away into her cell. What you can get in prison, and now I wouldn't need this heading on four years straight, but you can get yeast infection medication, which comes with an applicator. Right.

It's almost like an old school tampon applicator. So she's taken out the yeast infection medication, filled it with his fresh sperm and inseminated herself. To success. And she's never met this guy. To what ends? Does she get moved to a different correctional facility because she's pregnant?

Love. To bring a child through love into the world. Isn't this like people would, all the guards and everything and all the doctors were like, we don't believe this. We think it's got to be a guard or something like this.

This is almost impossible. Producer Shannon, when you're telling me you watched, there's a documentary, is it about this prison or some other mixed gender prison? There's a few of them. It's called Jailbirds on Netflix

and it is so interesting. And yeah, they talk through the toilets and basically they do this thing called fishing where they kind of set up a line with two pens and some string. And they can connect their two rooms. They can send drugs. They can send notes. They can send sperm.

And yeah, they go through how they do this and if they get in an argument, they flush and that stops the conversation. So if he pisses you off, you can flush and then that's done. I've got to watch this. Yeah, but they have this incredible... They have to pump out all the water from the toilet. So now the prisons have had to limit flushes per hour

and it's become this huge drama. But yeah, most of these American co-ed prisons are all like six-storied. So yeah, all the men and women can talk across the different floors. Isn't that crazy? So do you know what? She's given birth now are like six storied. So yeah, all the men and women can talk across the different floors. Isn't that crazy? So do you know what? She's given birth now and the baby lives with his mum and they have moved them,

like they've separated them further apart in the building. So now they've lost touch. I mean, it's actually sad, isn't it? And they each get to individually have visiting rights with the child that they made to replace the lives that they took Again, I will say they're still at a net one They are still at a negative Minus one loss

It's just one of the most wild stories I have read in a long time Crazy Play ZM Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley I don't know what White Vaughan Christmas music Christmas You tell me when I can go I don't know what. White Vaughan Christmas music.

You tell me when I can go. I don't know what the Smiths did wrong. We used to get invited to all sorts of places around Christmas to come and get a Santa photo. Smith and Coe's, Snow Planet. They always used to do... Your kids grow up. Santa's grottos. And we'd go along and we'd get a photo with Santa.

And we just don't get them anymore. Do you reckon my kids have got a bit ugly? They're in that ugly age. I mean, you've got very beautiful kids, but they're between the age of sort of like fun and cute. That weird sort of like 8 to 11 age where you're like, what is that? Well, I'm going to go home and I'm going to dance mom

and I'm going to put makeup on their faces. Yeah you should give them a spray tan and bleach their hair. Yeah I reckon that's going to be the key and start body shaming them.

Yeah get it in early. That's the only way to do it. We are 27 days away from Christmas. Are we? And we have not been invited for a photo with Santa. No.

Unbelievable. So whatever. But in Christchurch Valentine's the 170-year-old. I love Valentine's. I had to check that because it's in this article that it's 170 years old.

Actually, I think they might have some men's on the ground floor. I think you might be right, actually. They do, yeah, because last time I was there, men's were on the ground floor. I didn't have to go up eight floors. They know what meninism is.

you would have put the woman's department at the back of the store so the woman had to walk through all the other stuff. You know these women, they can't say no to shopping. Oh my god, we're like, vampires. Spending, spending, spending. We love it. So there is people are taking issue, umbrage

if you will, with the fact that it costs $25 for a Santa photo. That doesn't sound like the end of the world. They always have a good Santa. I don't think that's too bad. Great Santa, good grotto. Yeah. However, the photo is apparently being taken on a telephone.

Now, when I say telephone, you're imagining... I'm imagining an iPhone 16. When I say telephone, I imagined a wall-mounted rotary dial. Oh, yeah. Comical.

The big spiral cord. A 1960s, 1970s telephone. With a big flash. It goes... It's on a Google Pixel phone. Yeah. Which I know someone who just got one

and he's always been like, look at the photo that it took. And it does take amazing photos. Oh, okay. So this is the latest 64 megapixels. Now, if you're a Sony sober shot kid like me,

you'll remember the 3.2. Oh, 3.2? 3.2 megapixels. So 60 megapixels. So 60 megapixel. 64 megapixels. People are complaining, some people have complained, that the photos aren't good? Or is it the fact that they're...

It's both, right? It's the fact that you're paying $25 and you get in there and then someone's just like click on a phone. Yes. You want to see a DSLR. DSLR? Am I saying that right? Yeah.

So I've just Googled how many pixels... Digital single reflective lens. Yeah, does a DSLR camera typically have? To give an approximate number, most professional DSLR cameras and mirrorless cameras have a resolution between 24 and 36 megapixels. However, some professionals use medium format digital cameras ranging from 50 to 36 megapixels. However, some professionals use medium format digital cameras ranging from 50 to 100 megapixels.

Right. I don't need to see myself in that many megapixels, I'll be honest. But I have a nice camera. Yeah, but that's the thing. Have you still got it? I do, but I don't need it because my iPhone is incredible. And already in your pocket, right? And the portraits that you take on, I don't know about the

Google Pixel phone, but the portraits on an iPhone, the latest iPhone, are insane. Really good, eh? I remember the first time I saw that portrait sitting on a phone. It's incredible. It blew my mind and it's only got better and better. It's a bit like imagining the news coming to film some breaking news and it's a guy with

a tiny GoPro. You know, it doesn't command that kind of... But it's just, I know, it doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel right. Because you're like, well, I could take that picture. Yeah. It'd be like if you had your wedding day and you spent all this money

and they turned up with an iPhone, you'd be like, no, no, no, no, because I could do those photos. But you can't. It's all about how you shoot it. And they're great cameras now. They are filming movies on iPhones now. I know. I you can't. It's all about how you shoot it. And they're great cameras now. They are filming movies on iPhones now. I know.

I still don't think it's a replacement for like photographer's cameras where that's like beautiful and you can change the depth and all this kind of stuff. So this thing is a trained photographer and a new studio-grade lighting kit. Right. So every moment will be captured beautifully. But people on Facebook have had some complaints. She said...

Not happy. No. Sean, they said it was discoloured and the angles were all zoomed in. Oh, okay. Compared to last year, it's not good. Our printed photo is really orange. See, this is a printing issue. They said when they printed out the physical photo,

our printed photo was really orange. It made us all look like redheads. Oh, okay. That might be a printing issue. Yeah. Rather than the photo itself. I only ever get the digital. When we used to get the...

Yeah. Santa print it for the fridge? Nah, I don't think so. They were taking it seriously, so they said, we'll sort this out. Yeah, right. I think it might be a camera...

It might be a printing issue. Yeah, right. Rather than the camera. Rather than the camera itself. Okay. I'm just trying to look at the last photo I got was crap. I may be like 20 in at the last photo I got was crap. I may be like 20 in this photo.

Chris Parker's the Santa. And it's terrible, terrible resolution. And I would have paid money for that. Yeah, but that was in 1989 when you were 20. No. Well, you were born in 1969. This was 2009. When you were 20.

When I was 19. 40. 2008. I can't 19. 40. 2008. I can't do the maths. How old are you now? Mid-50s. Don't do this to me on a day like this. So, the lovely listener,

they have put together the best, the top 100 best books of 2024. Love these lists. Weird that the listener is a reader. Yeah, they should be listening. They should be read too. Is this like the Whitcalls top 100? No, the Whitcalls top 100 is always based on sales.

Right, okay. Is it? Yes. What about Ruth's picks? No, Joan's picks. Joan's picks. Ruth. Joan's picks. Joan, Joan's picks. Joan's picks. Ruth. Joan's picks.

Joan, that's an opinion-based pick based on culture and zeitgeist and vibe, I'll say. Joan's doing a vibe check and she's recommending her books. Wickles Top 100 is based on the bestsellers, which is why the Bible's always in there. Oh, and the Edmonds. I'm just looking now. Edmonds is always in there, the Bible. And then there's like fourth wing, a bit of smart. Thorns and roses, that's a bit of smart in it.

That's smart. Seven sisters. Yep. Yeah, it's all smart, isn't it? Yeah, because it's based. Apart from Edmonds, it's number four on the top 100. There's smart in there. A quarter thorns and roses.

Crack an egg into the bowl and whip until light and fluffy. Whip me until I'm light and fluffy. Anyway, so the listeners' ones are based on literature merit. Right. I'm talking, we've got a list of 100 well-written, well-regarded books of great merit. Finest titles. The 100 finest titles of the year, they say, chosen by their book

editors. Okay. Now on this list that they're categorised, there's fiction books like All Fours by Miranda July, who I love. The Alternatives by Caroline Hughes. Big Time by Jordan Prosser. Like there's that

whole section of fine, fine literature. Then we move... I haven't heard a book that I've... So far I haven't heard of a book that I've heard of. Probably because it's fine, fine literature. Yeah, yeah. I'm not really a fine, fine literature guy. Well, what's your problem with all this? Then there's Crime and Thrillers. Yep. Like 17 years

later by J.P. Pomare. I'm giving that a Maori spin but I'm not sure that it's from New Zealand. Yeah, I was going to say it's nice that the Maori authors made it. Who knows? History. Then we're getting into the non-fictions. Then we've got biographies, life stories. No celebrities

on here. It's, you know, about World War and all that kind of stuff. And I'm just scrolling and there is not a single bit of smart on this list. Not a single bit of smart. Are you sure? Because you did read out that title all fours. Yeah, not. That is not a smart book.

That's not smart. That's not. That is Miranda July's book. Well, you know that the list is very posh. It's for posh people. It is posh. Posh woman likes smart. It's posh.

I think posh women love smart. Smart is. It's classy porn. Yeah, right. It's very classy porn. It's classy porn. That's what book readers, they do instead of watching pornography.

They read pornography. Yeah, that's why you have to go on the Wickles Top 100. I'm not saying this is a bad list. I'm not saying this is a bad list. The listeners list is probably some of the best books you'll ever read, right? Yeah. And you really appreciate it for its artistic merit.

Yeah. But you're not jumping into bed with it as you are with the Wickles Top 100. Because that is... Because that Edmunds cookbook, oh, have you tried the pikelets in there? I kill a pikelet. Try your pikelets.

The butter and jam. Yeah, cream and jam. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Well, celebrity lookalike competitions seem to be the flavour of the month, don't they?

And occasionally a celebrity will turn up to their look-alike competition. Yeah, some people are a bit disillusioned, aren't they? Oh, I know. You see some of them, you're like, no, hon. No, like not even close. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What, you've got brown hair and I've got brown hair. Okay.

That's not quite enough for a lookalike competition. No. Do you think you guys look like anyone? Like a famous person? Like if you were to enter a celebrity lookalike, who would it be? Nah. I don't think so. Mel Bracewell.

And as much as I love her. You're both just tall females in comedy with brown hair. Great bodies and. Great bodies and rack hair. What else do you want me to say? Well, he said it, great rack. I said it. She kind of pointed and indicated.

Very funny, white, tall comedians from New Zealand with great bodies and great racks. But now you don't look alike. No, no, no, no. I know. Yeah, no, I don't think I'm... I couldn't enter one. So, yeah, Glenn Powell's the latest celebrity to turn up to his own lookalike competition.

I just, I want to say about Glenn Powell, I've got a feeling his time's limited. Really? I just, he's got, he's gone in as a ghast. He's got army hammer energy. Oh my God. I'm so with you on this. What, you reckon he's going to eat people? No, he's not going to eat people.

He's going to do something like, he's going to not think he's untouchable. It'll be through his own, like, naivety. He's going to do something and everyone's going to be like, ick. And it's going to be done for him. Okay. That's what I feel. Yeah, I kind of understand where you're coming from. Like, are we going to see him in every movie for the next 10 years?

So New Zealand of you just to wait for his tall poppy down for him. I know. We're like, can't wait for her to fail. What you're going to put on him, there's something about his energy that makes me feel like he's here for a good time and not a long time. Okay. I know. I don't know. I'm wishing upon him, but there's something about his energy that makes me feel like he's here for a good time and a long time. Okay.

I liked him in Top Gun. I liked him in the second Top Gun. I liked him in that movie where he played... Hitman. Hitman. He was good in that. I haven't seen him in anything.

No, he's a good actor. Didn't he do a rom-com recently? Yeah. That was a bit rom-commy. Yeah. Well, I got the top six celebrity lookalike competitions we don't need, so if you're planning one, cancel them now.

Number six on the list, Jeffrey Epstein. Don't, we don't need that. We don't need it. There's lots of white dudes with grey hair that look a bit like Jeffrey Epstein. You don't want to admit it. I don't reckon admit it. No. I don't reckon admit it. Number five on the list of the top six celebrity look-alike competitions we don't need.

That's how they stop saying it. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Now, Producer Shannon, yesterday you, I believe, thought it was a great day to squeeze in a workout. Yeah, babe. What were you doing? Were you just at home workout?

Yeah, I do those little homesy, little Pilates kind of, Pilates in quote marks, not like reformer, just like do some crunches to some music. Poor Pilates. Yeah, yeah, poor Pilates. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good stuff. I'm doing a little 75 soft, you know?

Oh, good for you. Thanks, babe. What's a 75 soft? Well, you know 75 hard where it's like you follow these rules, no drinking, no moving from the diet, two forms of exercise a day. One outside, one inside. No alcohol, no this, did a little, no alcohol.

No snacks, no treats, no alcohol. Too hard. Yeah, too hard. So people do 75 soft. We're like, we're going to have a couple of treats. Yeah. Okay, right. I did one workout a day.

Anyway, I was so excited because the JonBenet Ramsey doco came out yesterday. Yeah. And I needed to do my little 75 soft, so there I was doing my crunches to the new True Crime doco. About the murder of a girl. Of a six-year-old. Yeah. Which happened in... 97. Right. This was like

the 90s kind of Madeleine McCann, right? Yeah. One of the biggest It's unsolved to this day. So she was founded in the basement of her family home. After Christmas in 96 and they've never kind of, and she was a beauty pageant

girl, right? And they never figured it out. Everyone was like, it's the brother and it's this and that and that. I've seen it. What was the last? Was there a Netflix doco? Casting Jean Benet. Yeah, a couple of years ago. That was a really good doco. Really good. Where that was kind of like half film, half doco. But this, I was just reading an article about it.

They're saying like new details about the chilling case, you know, come to light in this. And I, yeah, I saw a quote from the director saying this could lead to a conviction. I truly think it could as well. I'm nearly into the third part. And how many ab crunches had you done by the third part? I was sweating.

I was sweating. My boyfriend could hear this, by the way, me just like kind of half grunting and then like an autopsy report of a six-year-old, which is pretty grim. It's really grim. But this doco for the first time has got me thinking the parents are innocent. Because you watch all the other ones and you're like, well, the parents are just covering up for the first time, has got me thinking the parents are innocent. Because you watch all the other ones, and you're like, well, the parents are just covering up for the younger brother.

That's what I always thought. Who accidentally killed his sister or donked his sister. Yeah, with a flashlight. Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, the father is narrating the whole thing. They've actually got him, and the director has come out very boldly saying, the parents are innocent, and I've made this to show why.

And I'm sitting there watching it, and it's quite convincing, I will say. The director believes that the JonBenet Ramsey case can be solved. Who's the director? Berlinger is his last name. Right. Not someone you'd know. No. Okay.

Well, I don't know what else he's done. No. Interesting. Okay. It's I don't know what else he's done. No. Interesting. Okay. It's a very interesting exercise choice. Yeah, this is one of those cases that people just love. Like, you called this your Roman Empire. This is my Roman Empire.

I have watched so much, I've read so much, and I have been pretty staunch on my opinion. Within two hours and a few crunches, my opinion was changing, and it's pretty wild. It is very sad, I will say. Because you were always like the brother, didn't you? Yeah, totally. We all work out to such odd things. Fletch, you would sort of be

upbeat music. Always music. Never podcasts. Mine's either heavy metal or straight up audio, you know, erotica. Vaughn, yours is TV series, but probably not harrowing documentaries. Not JonBenet, nah. Not Jon Mine's TV shows. Vaughan, yours is TV series, but probably not harrowing documentaries. Not JonBenet, nah.

Not JonBenet Ramsey. Yeah. Yellowstone and The Penguin at the moment. Shannon is now watching this harrowing documentary to work out to. Producer Carwen, I put on to the power you get when you listen to some spiciness. Never run faster. Never run faster in her life. I mean, you know, we're all individuals.

Whatever floats your boat. I had to double screen it, though, so on my TV I've got JonBenet and then on a little phone it's some girl being like, harder, faster. Yeah, yeah, like, go, go. Crunch, crunch. Yeah, you'll listen to a different harder, faster. Yeah, exactly.

So this is on Netflix, the doco? 10 out of 10 recommend. It'll change your opinion, I reckon. Okay. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Well, it's coming up to Christmas and today we get another OCR announcement. That's the official cash rate.

Two o'clock this afternoon. Someone's mortgage is on floating and really needs to drop it below four. Now that's dreaming. It could give you a bit of extra money for Christmas. Free up money for Christmas. Did you say below four? You did.

It's 4.75. Why are you setting unrealistic expectations for yourself? Shoot for the stars. Do you have a time machine? Are you going back in time? Oh, my God. If we go back to 2020, was it 2021 or 2022? Set it for five years?

Imagine. I'm hoping today it's going to go below one. Yeah. Yeah. Just we're being whimsical. I'm going to be giving you money back for having a mortgage. Maybe we learn from our mistakes and we don't get greedy next time. No, we never learn from our mistakes.

We always get greedy. Oh, I'm hoping mortgage rates go into the minuses. Yeah, it's happened before. I got greedy. I got greedy. I got greedy as well. I got greedy. We all got a little bit greedy.

Well, I'll just lock this 2% in for six months because I reckon it's going to go lower. I reckon it's going to go lower. I reckon it's going to go lower. So, a silly little poll inspired by our very own Bad News Brad. Yeah. It was not our very own. We own him.

We gave him the news. We gave him the moniker. That's right, actually. Bad News Brad. So we own that. If you're listening, Brady, we own you. He did his own version of this poll. How much do you spend on Christmas presents for different people?

We did three silly little polls. The first one is how much do you spend on your partner? The most popular answer was over $100. 63% will spend over $100 on their partner. I definitely used to be that. Yep. You know, when before I had said mortgage. Yeah.

Well, I would always do, Aaron would be the person I'd spend the most on. Yeah. Now he gets nothing. He gets a kiss and a high five. I bet he's happy with that. Honestly, he is. The next one was $60 to $100 is 24%.

Then $0 to $30 is 7% and $30 to $60 is 6%. So more people are spending below $30 than between $30 and $60. Okay. But the majority are spending over $100. Over $100. Now if we go to close friend, how much

do you spend on a Christmas present for your close friend? The most popular answer. Zero. Zero my boys. Dude, absolutely my zero. That's why I replied to Brad being like, zero. And he said but what about Fletch? I was like, zero. There's no present here. Have you guys in your 20 year long friendship ever

bought each other a Christmas present? Like joke presents for all year. But that weren't work related? No, definitely not. Yeah. No. Because every now and then maybe every couple of years my best friend and I will do a small gift which is quite odd, eh? Sometimes I might just give you something

if I have something. Yeah. Like, I don't know. But you don't wait for Christmas. Yeah. Or wrap it around. Oh that time, remember I got you that bottle of whiskey from Kadrona? Yeah, that was really nice. That was nice of me, wasn't it? That's a really nice gift. Was that for Christmas?

No, that was just a gift. Just a friend gift. Yeah, just a friend gift. See, that's almost more exciting. Yeah. And I haven't had anything since. Oh, my God. Because every time I bought you a birthday present,

you'd just leave it at work until someone did a clean out of the studio and it ended up in the bin. What's a gift you've bought Fletch? It's a terrible gift. I have never bought Fletch a gift. One of those granny trolleys. You know, the old people. It was a Louis Vuitton.

A fake, sorry, a real Louis Vuitton granny trolley that they drag down to the supermarket and put their stuff in and then they walk home with it. Yeah.

A broly trolley, whatever those things are. Yeah. Well, that sucks. It's because he was complaining about how he had to carry his groceries. What I did is I listened to a friend, and then I came up with a solution, and that's the best present.

Okay. This sort of feels like a comedy element to that. Where he just bought you a nice whiskey. A nice whiskey. Yeah. The most popular one for close friend is between $30 and $60. Okay. That's the most popular one.

Very few people are spending over $100 on a close friend. And for a family member, again, it's between $30 and $60 that's the most popular. Okay. For sending it in. I think it's weird buying my parents really expensive Christmas gifts considering over the years how much money I probably still owe them. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, just pay them back.

They're just like, well, just give us some money back. All those years that you borrowed money. So certainly a little feedback. This is about buying for your partner. Nikki said, we set a $100 limit on Christmas presents for each other. It's nice to have something to open, but really we don't need anything. So we set the limit to stop it. We've done that before, like a $20,

and you've got to get it from an op shop or something like that. Yeah, yeah, reuse. Ashley said, this year we set a $100 limit. We usually splash out for birthdays and limit Christmas. We don't do presents, said Rochelle, because it's just another expense when we're buying for everybody else as well.

Yep, totally. If he wants something, he can buy it himself, said Hannah. And $0 because his family expect the most expensive gifts. Oh, God. They expect gifts. That's a no.

That's bad, eh? Yeah, that's bad. Partner, sorry, close friend says, no presents for friends, only buy for family that we see on Christmas Day and kids. Yeah. Buy them for some, if it's for a family unit, we buy them something as a family, like a board game.

Oh, that's nice. That's a great idea. Yeah, that's nice. That's a great idea. So they can go to movies together. Yeah, that's cool. Too poor to buy any form of Christmas present. Birthdays are far more important. Killed it. I like my close friends way more than everyone else, so they get the good gifts.

Oh, okay. And family doesn't. Zero dollars for all, says Amy. I just buy myself presents. Oh, it's your money, honey. Yeah. Someone said, I'm shocked at all these results. Aren't we all broke bitches

at present? Yes. Yeah. So, there it is. Still quite a lot of spending planned. Yeah,

a lot of planned spending there. Do we tell people to tie a hole on that and pull it back a little bit or are we encouraging a little bit of spending to keep me kind of moving? I don't know

what's the right answer because you spend too much money they're like, oh, we're going to hike interest rates and then they hike interest rates and I'm like, don't do that again. Even I want a Christmas present.

Yeah, it would be nice to open something on Christmas Day. Not for me, not. You guys have not put me anything. How about you open this fist to that finger? Oh my God, he's put,

listen, he's put up the middle finger. How dare you? That's so rude. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. We've all had that friend that moved overseas for sometimes even

not that long, like a year or so, a couple of years. And they come home and there's just some slight changes and you're like, what's going on there?

What's going on here? I've had friends that have lived in like England and America for a while. Yeah. And they do change. And you would. You would yourself.

My brother's lived in Australia for just over 15 years. And he holds on to his Kiwi accent, like consciously has to do it. Oh, really? Yeah, he hates the Australian accent. And he's like, I don't ever want to lose my Kiwi accent. But surely you must notice some like twangs and some yeah buts. Especially in his fiancés.

She's been there a little bit longer, but she's a Kiwi. Like Maori, Kiwi. Yeah. She's got more of the Aussie twang every now and then. Yeah. And it comes out and I'm like,

there it is. But you do find yourself, even when you go somewhere for a while, just kind of like a week or so, you go to Australia for a week, you do find yourself just like kind of mimicking them just because it's funny. Well, you sleep into the sayings. Yeah, and it's just easier to say six. It's sick, mate.

So, Prince Harry, obviously, when he distanced himself from his royal role and moved to America with Meghan, people have been noticing he's been chucking in more American slang

and some slight American twang coming, a bit of a hint of a California accent. Right. And they were saying it's to fit in and seem like more of a normal person because the royal accent is very round. It's very particular, isn't it? I don't even know what part of England.

It's its own accent. Well, they call it RP. It's royal pronunciation, which is like that kind of, it's more King Charles, has it? It's a round thing. And William definitely has it, but Harry's obviously tried to like

get away from it a bit by taking on this slightly American accent. And of course they're all turning on him now. Do you reckon his kids, because they're growing up in America with an American mum. 100% they don't have American accents. Because John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, American and British,

they talk about it all the time how- He's got a Boston accent too, so. Yeah, they've got American accents, but every now and then they'll say something in like quite a hard, like London sort of style so. Yeah, they've got American accents, but every now and then they'll say something in like quite a hard, like London sort of style accent. Yeah. But I know friends that have had this. Oh, it's when they move for six months

or you see them after six months and they've been in London and they're like, yeah, g'day mate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, hey guys, I've been loving living in LA. And you're like, who's that? What's that? What have you done there?

Well, this is what we wanted to ask this morning. Yeah. We want you to call us, 0800-DARLS-AT-M. You can text through 9696. Did your friend get an accent after moving abroad? Or you. Or maybe you noticed it as well in yourself. Yeah, you can admit to this.

Yeah. Someone messaged in saying people adapt an American accent because it's easier to do life there with one. Because Americans are like, what are you saying? Yeah, it is hard. You end up having to mimic their accent because they do not understand how we speak. You'd be like, what's your name?

They'd be like, Carl. What? Carl. Yeah, I have to say Carl. Yeah, Carl. And you're like, oh, Vaughn. Vaughn. Yeah, I say Vaughn.

Yeah, you would have to be like Vaughn. Yeah, they'd be like, Vaughn. You're like, no. Vaughn. What about Craig's? Craig. I have to say Craig. They always say Craig. Yeah, they're like, my name's Craig. They'll be like, why aren't you like, no. Vaughn. What about Craig's? Craig. I have to say Craig. They always say Craig.

Craig. Yeah, they do. They're like, my name's Craig. They'll be like, why aren't you like, Craig? That's a different name. That's Greg with a C. Yeah, that's ridiculous. Okay, give us a call.

0800-DARLS-AT-M. You can text through 9696. Did you or a friend get an accent after moving overseas? The movie Heretic, which is, we've all seen this movie. We've had a sneak peek of this movie. Yeah. It's so good Would you call it

It's not a horror Like a Psychological thriller A psychological thriller Yes Do you know what Genuinely And I'm not just saying this

Because we got the chance To interview the cast But it is genuinely One of the best films I've seen in a while And like You know when you see something And you're like

I have not seen anything like that And I just really I got to interview the cast and I was beside myself because Hugh Grant's my favourite actor of all time. Yeah, so Hugh Grant on the show after 8 o'clock this morning along with the cast of Heretic. Yes. Right now though.

Speaking of darling. Speaking of accents darling. We want to talk about whether or not you got an accent or a friend got an accent after moving overseas because people are noticing that Prince Harry has some American kind of twang happening, a bit of a California accent.

Hope, you do something that Hayley does when you're overseas and you mimic people's accent. Oh no. It's worse. I actually just pick it up in like a five minute conversation. Oh my god, same. With anyone. I know.

And it's terrible. And I don't mean to do it on purpose. And it comes across like I'm mocking them sometimes. Darling, I feel you in such a big way. I just, I'll just have a five-minute conversation at work with someone. And all of a sudden, it's like, it's almost like a little burp that escapes. Yes. A little burp. Just like one little burp that escapes. Yes. A little burp.

Just like one little burp of a word in their accent. And it's like, oh my gosh. I mean, we're bad. We've interviewed some celebrities and Hayley has started mocking them in front of them. I know. The Devil of Dublin was on the show. I did an Irish accent. I do American accents.

It's not mocking, Hayley. I get it. It's mirroring. I have, yes. I have an English sister-, I get it. It's mirroring. I have, yes, I have an English sister-in-law and I love her to pieces and she'll just be chatting away and then I'll just

start doing that and you're like, oh my God, I'm not mocking you. I'm not and it's just kind of this really, you know, really thick English accent.

I'm like, I'm sorry love. I'm sorry love. I hate it. Oh no. And then it just keeps coming. I want to feel you, Hope. I can't stop.

I know you guys are just doing a dance around the UK with these accents. I love that. If Hope and I had a conversation, we'd just be like ping-ponging and changing regions through England. Yeah, yeah. That's brilliant. Hope, thank you. Let's go to James.

James, you've lived in multiple countries. Yes, I've lived in Japan, England and California And I get the worst of everything I pick up the accents But I don't shift away from the English accent So I retain the English accent But start using random words Right, so you are from England

Yeah, I started in England Then I moved to Japan from 11 until I was like 15. Right. So I picked up an American accent from, oh, my old man. Jeepers. Right. Okay. Wow.

So, and does it come out in like certain moments? Yes. And it's, you put me near someone that was like Japanese, I suddenly bring in the Japanese language, like some of the words with an English twist. And then they're in American. I try using American words with an English accent. It's just a wreck. You're a missed one.

Arigato. I know. Arigato, darling. Konnichiwa. Konnichiwa. Arigato gozaimasu. You do. Arigato gozaimasu.

I do. You do. Exactly. You do meet those peopleato gozaimasu. I do, you do. Exactly. You do meet those people, though, like yourself, James, that almost have a shambolic accent because they're kind of like moving around all these different ones, eh? No, it's worse because when, now I'm married,

the missus just refers to me as the mutt. She's like, where's your accent from? And she just looks at everyone, she's like, he's a mutt. He's a mutt. He's a bit of a mongrel. Did you, when you were in Japan,

were you there because you said you got an American accent in Japan? Was it like a military base or an international school? No, I went to an international school.

Yeah. Kids that grew up on international military bases or went to international schools, you're always just like, what is going on with your accent? Where's your accent from?

Yeah. It always depends where the teacher was from. Yeah, it's worse when you leave that and go back home because then everyone's like, what is going on with your accent? Where's your accent from? Yeah, it always depends where the teacher was from. Yeah, it's worse when you leave that and go back home because then everyone's like, what the hell? You left normal and you've come back like this? Yeah. You're mangled.

James, thank you. Colleen, you're Canadian. Yes, I am. And you just moved to New Zealand. I moved here six months ago. Loving it, but I definitely have been teased with some words I say. I'm trying to change. I know no one understood me when I said mirror.

So I have to say mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror cat. But with Canadians, it's the O-U's and the double O's, right?

Like house and boots and... Well, apparently that's what I've been told as well, because I was talking about getting something, taking the rubbish out, and the word out is wrong. I forget how I'm supposed to say it. We say out. Out. Out. Sort of an A-U say it. We say out. Sort of an AUT. Colleen, would you think

that when you go back home to Canada to visit that your Canadian accent will be a bit warped as well? I don't know. I'm actually hoping so because I think the Kiwi accent is very sexy. I'm really hoping to meet a Kiwi.

Wait, really? Well, the ladies have flown around the worldwi accent is very sexy. I'm really hoping to meet a Kiwi. Wait, really? Well, the ladies have flown around the world to get a sexy accent. What's going on? Hello, hello. I thought we were cutesy and dinky. I didn't think we were sexy. I always just think we're cutesy.

Did you guys not hear you've got the number one accent in the entire world? No. Colleen, is that why you moved here? Is that why you moved here? Because of that list? So I've been on a few dates. And, of course, they go, just talk to me.

And I'm like, are you a creep? You creepy guy. Oh, my God. Just talk to me. That would be like Hayley going to Ireland, though. Oh, my God. I'd just be like, hi. I'd just sit in a pub and listen to people talk for a second.

Oh, my God. Colleen, thank you. How friendly is in a pub and listen to people talk. Oh, my God. Colleen, thank you. How friendly is the Canadian accent, though? Colleen, you just talk and I just assume you're friendly. You could be a real biatch, you know, and I wouldn't know. Oh, well, I guess so. You know what? I'm finding out so much stuff.

First of all, I think everyone is just, well, it's a different kind of friendly here. Everyone is kind. But I think we are more, well, we share a lot. Yeah, well, we're the kindest people in the world. That's what they say. Kiwis and Canadians, we're the nicest people. Yeah, that's because we've got assholes next door.

That's why. We totally talk to strangers about anything. Like, you know, at the grocery store, I'm like, hey, what did you think of the game last night? We can just leave you on the phone, Colin. We can just talk to you for the next hour and 15 minutes, and that could be the show. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. But I don't know if I've got the accent,

but definitely all the words that I'm saying, it's teasing back and forth. So it's really quite wonderful. Oh, we love it. Welcome, Colleen. Welcome. Thank you. Some messages in.

My stepbrother has an Irish dad but was born in South Africa then moved here. Oh, what does that sound like? The Irish South African. Park the car. I'd like to park the car to get a Guinness.

I'm going to park the car to get a Guinness. I'm going to park the car. And then have a Guinness. With a bit of Kiwi. With a bit of Kiwi. I'm going to get to park the car and get a Kiwi Guinness. I hope no one has an accent like you just doing then. Yeah, well, that was really bouncing around.

Really did. Somebody else said, my wife is Canadian. When we had a daughter, she wanted to make sure our daughter said mom and not mum. Mum. So I started consciously saying mom, and now it's my default. Mom. Mom. And when you say mom around New Zealanders, they look at you because it's the one word that I'm saying differently. Yeah.

I'm Canadian. We've got lots of Canadians. Are we now, I'm just just gonna dip a toe in this Paul are we far out Canadians and New Zealanders preferred radio station we could be

and Sri Lankans sounds like it and lesbians and lesbians lesbians, Sri Lankans New Zealand and Canadians and firefighters

I believe yeah a lot of firefighters gotta get more Irish callers on anyway just a thought just a fleeting thought I'm Canadian but I lived here for 25 years I had to change the words Get more Irish callers on. Anyway. Just a thought. Just a fleeting thought. I'm Canadian, but I lived here for 25 years.

I had to change the words I used when I moved here, just like we've heard. Otherwise, I just repeated myself, or I literally had to write some words down. We are speaking the same language. We're a bit dumb. Yeah. Oh, my Kiwi sister moved to Aussie now, says pill.

Oh, get out of here. Get out of the Pearl. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. I just told Fletch something about myself and he literally said, this is why I'm not in a relationship. That was his response to me just talking about how I live. Well, some research has come out of Australia

and experts are saying this is a bit of a worrying red flag. Now, it has become normalised that a quarter of Aussies think it's reasonable to expect to have a partner's device code the pin to their phone.

Yeah. One in ten think it's reasonable to expect a partner to have you on Find My or any kind of tracking. Only one in 10? Yeah, I thought that might've been more. I would've thought knowing where your partner is, is like 75% of people.

Especially because it's so practical, right? It's like you might be getting dinner ready, they're on their way home, you see they're in traffic or they're still at the office, you're like, well, I'll just wait. But why don't you just ask? Where are you? What time are you coming home? Because they might be busy.

Yeah, I don't, I'm not on... So this is what I wanted to ask you both. One, does your partner, do you have tracking on? And does your partner know the pin code to your phone? Yes, Aaron knows the pin code to everything. Passwords and pin codes, yeah. Yeah, and knows all my passwords.

Yeah. And but I don't really know his phone or whatever because he changed it a few years ago, you know, for security measures and I just never really care. What am I going to look at? I don't care. I literally don't care. And we're not on Find My

at all. I don't care where he is. Do you know what I mean? This is what I said. This is what she doesn't care. And Fletch is like, that's why I'm not in a relationship. He was like, oh, but it's a practical thing, you know. Maybe you need to know what time you're home or what time we can put dinner on or something.

I was like, I'm putting dinner on when I want to put dinner on. If he's not home, he can heat it up or have it cold. That's when I said that. Home for knees under. What's that? Putting your knees under the table. Yeah, yeah, right. It was here behind for knees under. And my granddad was, well, he didn. Yeah, yeah, right. I was here behind for knees under

and my grandad was, well, he didn't want to, he didn't know how to work the oven so he couldn't reheat something. Yeah, yeah, right. So he just knew he had to be home

when it was knees under. Yeah, great. Okay. I'm very much like, I don't need Aaron to know where I am at all times. Fletch does

and that's for a safety precaution. You know? Where I am at any given moment like this morning. Also, thank you again for sharing your location with me. I got a notification on my phone the other day, Carl Fletcher started sharing location with you. Yeah, do you know, where I am at any given moment. Also, thank you again for sharing your location with me. I got a notification on my phone the other day,

Carfletcher said he's sharing location with you. Yeah, do you know why? It's because I deleted a whole bunch of text messages, and when you delete them. He clears out texts. Yeah, I know. I hate having a busy inbox. No, I just, you just end up with an inbox of notifications.

Like, you know, text codes for website logins and stuff. And so I always just go through and delete. You just don't have to read them. Look. Oh, see, no, that's yuck. That's stressful, dude. Clean up your inbox, please. Dude, I've got messages back to 2020.

No, see, I'm constantly clearing. No, I clear them a little bit. I have a clear inbox as well. I don't like a cluttered inbox. No, same. It says a lot about you, Vaughn. But you and Sade have Find My, right? No.

Oh, okay, you don't. Just turn that off because I'd be like, why are you at the mall? Well, that's fair enough. Why are you spending money we don't have? Because that's not what

it's there for. That's why, oh, what's, and then you'd look up their dress and it's like, oh, I'll get hair done again. Cool. Okay. So that's off now.

Producers. Now, Carmen, you've got a, for those that may be missing, a really rich European boyfriend. We got that way to Bloody Hunting Lodge on the weekend. I mean, we only go there for special occasions. We live five minutes down the road.

It was a special occasion. What was it? Sunday. One month anniversary. One month anniversary. No, it was his birthday. Oh, okay. Well, that's all right.

So how long have you had this boyfriend for? Born in November, like a European prince. Oh, no. As all rich European princes are. November babies. Yeah, a while. How long have you been together with this guy? A while.

A while. Sure, she did a hard launch and she's been hanging on it. Yeah, she is, isn't she? Do you know each other's pin codes and do you have each other on fine friends? Yeah, we know each other's pin codes and I think we both have each other's faces in for Face ID and then... What? What? You've got his face to unlock your phone?

Yeah. Oh my god, no. It's easier. No, no, no, no, no. I didn't even know that was an option. Yeah, it is. You can add a profile. Can you? Yeah, you can. I'm just not great with numbers. I'm not remembering what numbers his pin code is. You always, because you can right click on an app now, an iPhone and you can make, you can. I'm just not great with numbers. I'm not remembering what numbers you always, because you can right click on an app now, an iPhone

and you can make it Face ID. I can't right click on my phone. No, you hold. Long hold. He said right click. He did. He's an old Microsoft boy. I'm an old Microsoft boy, yeah. I'm a Windows 3.1 purist. Windows XP and the latest. Oh, and then I can

require Face ID. Yes. Well, well the latest. Oh, and then I can require face ID. Yes. Yeah. Well, well, well. Even if your partner knew your pin code, if they didn't have this psychotic behaviour where you've got each other's face ID on there. Faces?

That's not wilded. You can put certain apps under require face ID to open. Yes, yeah. Certain apps. Shannon, do you have your magician boyfriend's pin code? He has everything of mine, but I don't have anything of his. Okay, that's a red flag.

Can you hear that flapping sound? It's almost like I can hear the colour. I can hear the colour of the flag flapping in there. Is it pink or dark pink? Or maroon? If I asked, I'm sure, but I just don't need it. What? Do I need to see him floating in the ocean? It's fine. He's a magician on cruise ships, by the way.

He's not dead floating. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Heretic. Yeah, we went and saw this movie a little while ago. Really good. So good. Sort of like religious thriller. Yeah, like a psychological thriller.

Yeah, a bit of a psychological thriller. And Hugh Grant is a baddie. It's good to see him as a baddie. It's good to see him as a baddie. It's good to see him as a baddie. Creepy baddie. So good. So creepy. And Hayley had the chance to catch up with the stars of the movie Heretics, Sophie Thatcher, Chloe East, and her favourite

Hugh Grant. Hi guys. Hi. Hi Sophie. Hi Chloe. Hi Hugh. Hello. I'm so excited to be chatting to you guys and I feel like you may hate this but I'm going to lay it on thick a little bit because I absolutely adored this film. Sophie and Chloe, your chemistry together is absolutely amazing.

Have you guys worked together before? No. No, we hadn't. But yeah, we had the chemistry read. I feel like we bonded over it because we were the only ones that grew up Mormon. So there was that immediate, like, oh, you get it. Yeah, yeah, immediate bond.

So we had that. And then it wasn't even like we had hung out before, but it was just kind of like a lot of hanging out in between. A lot of, yeah. And she has amazing taste. She's done amazing things. I think she's so talented. But it's also just like a movie lover, knows everything about movies. She's done amazing things. I think she's so talented. But is also just a movie lover.

Knows everything about movies. She knows everything about music. I feel like I kind of demand that you guys keep working together. Maybe exclusively for the rest of your careers. Because honestly, the chemistry is amazing. I love that. Thank you. Hugh, you're going to hate this, but you are my favorite actor of all time.

And I am genuinely um beside myself that i get to meet you through this tiny little screen um you have played some of my favorite characters and i particularly love it when you play an asshole you do it so well it's worrying but that's very nice of you thank you and i And I'm not hating it. I'm loving it. Yeah, well, this is the thing because I feel like usually when you play a bit of a, I don't know, a bad person or an asshole,

there's always a redeemable quality to the characters that you bring and we can learn to love you. However, Mr. Reed is disgusting, really. And what I loved watching was how much you were enjoying playing this twisted, sadistic man.

Is that accurate? Did you enjoy playing this lunatic? I think I did. I think I did. When I read the script the first time, I thought, oh, there might be a way in here where he thinks this is all fun. It's a fun game. Maybe he's a bit lonely and he does this with women who come to his house

and makes it all jolly and cracks jokes while he's actually being really, as you say, repulsive. He's kind of awful, but there is a sad bit of us that kind of feels sorry for him or um i don't know still loves him but maybe that's the hugh grant in him do you think well i think it's pushing it with mr reed to say that we might feel sorry for him but i you know do think it's important when you play these baddies that you are aware of why they ended up that way what something hurt them some they're protecting something or compensating for something and so I did work quite hard on that yes do you think though Hugh after

this you may give us something a little more jolly you know after this you've sort of betrayed us as Hugh Grant lovers could we have something sort of charming after this, please? Will you get a bit of Daniel Cleaver again in February with Bridget Four? Yeah, I know, Hugh, that's in my calendar and I will be waiting every single day. I just want to ask you, Chloe and Sophie

in particular, there's so much tension. I had to watch this in a movie cinema on my own with a security guard who was unsure of what was happening there was so much tension there was that alive on set as well were you terrified while recording it yeah i mean i think there was an immersive factor to just like shooting in order shooting with only you know two other actors being stuck in this room for weeks and weeks shooting these long scenes added to the exhaustion also Chung and Chung just like did these insane shots that were very long

you kind of never knew when the cameras where the camera was going to go so there was the anxiety of I don't know where it is um yeah but I felt like mean, the set design was brilliant. It kind of immediately brought you into this specific headspace. Do you think after filming this that you will ever look at pie the same again? I love pie. Blueberry pie was never my favorite. Yeah, who likes blueberry pie? Come on.

Like, it's not one of the best pies at all. Like, there's apple pie. No, well, no, in New Zealand, we don't do sweet pies. We do savory pies. So our pie would, like, that candle, the candle that Hugh, you light, would be a mince and cheese flavored candle, which would really change things. Yeah, let's ruin blueberry pie. That's actually fine.

It's fine. Yeah. Absolute pleasure to meet you all. And, yeah, thank you so much for this great film. And good luck trying to explain this to your Mormon families. I hope they see it. No problem. Next on the show,

I want to tell you about a very questionable Movember effort that I saw yesterday. I'm trying. I'm trying. You're doing better than this guy. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. 27th of November. Correct.

A few days away from the end of Movember. Yes. Raising money. Great cause. Great cause. Men's health. Great cause. There are some shocking mustaches out there.

There are some sluts. Shocking mows. Oh, I love a big slug. I love seeing a slug. Some people wish for a slug. And they think in the month they're going to get a slugs. Shock and mows. Oh, I love a big slug. I love seeing a slug. Some people wish for a slug, and they think in a month they're going to get a slug. Yeah. Halfway through November, there's these unicorn men,

these rare, almost mythical beasts, and you're like, how long have you been growing that massage? And it's two weeks. Yeah. You wonder if they cheated. Got a good start. Yeah, but they didn't. Some men are just beasts.

Yeah. I reckon Aaron can grow a mow in a Got a good start. Yeah, but they didn't. Some men are just beasts. Yeah. I reckon Aaron can grow a mo in a good couple of weeks. Yeah. He very rarely goes down to the skin with his facial hair. Or maybe like twice in the 14 years we've been together. Why would you? Don't do it. It's great beard.

What's he hiding? Has he got a bum chin or something? Has he got a bum chin? Soft chin. Like not the strongest jawline. The beard really works it. Maybe I can leave him my jaw and my donor will. Hey.

Oh, actually, I've got dibs on that because I also rock a soft jawline. I wish I could grow a full beard. I'm bold that you and Aaron think you're at Living Fletch. Oh, yeah, actually. I'll leave you on the remains of my liver and the one kidney I have. The man yesterday was saying he didn't eat something

because of the highly processed things. And I was just like, what? Yeah. Eat it. Just eat it. Just eat it. It'll preserve you as well. I saw a moustache yesterday in the wild at a distance.

Now, this man, I don't want to give too much information about. But this man was in an industry where I was like, because I do this, if I don't want to give too much information about but this man was in an industry where I was like, because I do this if I'm outside in the garden I'll like rub my face between my eyes and then I go inside and look in the mirror and it looks like I've got a monobrow because I've rubbed dirt between my two eyebrows and from a distance

it must look like a monobrow without being able to see the definitive of it. So this guy from a distance I was like he's rubbed something on his face because that's another area of your face you might itch

under there. I was like, funny, he's rubbed something on his face and he looks like he's got a Hitler moustache. Was that his effort?

Was that his actual November effort? So then as I got closer, I realised that was the only part of the moustache this guy could grow was the Hitler moustache.

Oh, because was he young and he hasn't grown the bit? Wasn't that young? Oh. I think you just don't. Because some guys can't connect the moustache to the beard. That's a different situation, though. That little bit beside the mouth where it doesn't join.

You're talking about the side of the mouth. I'm talking, if you put your fingers either side of your nose and run them straight down, that's how wide his moustache was. Where the cleft is. So he couldn't grow any hair right beside. He had a full Hitler. And I was like Has he Don't bother

Don't bother Been dared to shave Into a Hitler Or Charlie Chaplin Yeah And I looked closer And no stubble Just the finest

Line of fluff From the edge of the Hitler To the corner of the mouth Oh no I was like I wouldn't do Movember You just tap out I mean you could could just donate money.

Just donate some money. Just donate some money and just shave, man. Yeah. Yeah. Because pre-Hitler, this was actually a popular massage. A very popular massage. Very of the fashion. Yeah.

There was like British leaders and stuff that had it. Yeah, for sure. And now, you don't even dare. You don't do it. You just know you don't. He ruined a few good things. The name Adolf. Which you can't hear.

Rudolph's next door to Adolf. And we all remember Rudolph fondly because of the red-nosed reindeer. Now, if there hadn't been Adolf Hitler, I think the name Adolf probably would have been about in the zeitgeist. Yeah, I agree. Maybe not as common as your Johns and your Peters. No. I mean, for German men, it definitely would have been.

He ruined that. He ruined moustaches. And I'll say he ruined that, like, neat, tight comb-over. Not a comb-over to cover a bald spot, just that tight little part. And he ruined amphetamines. Someone's grown. He did. He ruined a lot of things.

A list of things, really. Someone messaged in, they've got an anti-Hitler, which is, they said, I can't grow a full in, they've got an anti-Hitler, which is, they said I can't grow a full one, I've got an anti-Hitler, I can only grow the outer, but not the middle. That has a name too. Was it the Confucius?

Was it the Confucius moustache that only grew on the outside of the... But none in the middle towards underneath the nose. But again, I think if you know that you can't do the full moustache or you're growing a Hitler, just don't do Movember. We're all good with that. No one's going to be like, just donate some money.

Donate the money. Fu Manchu. Right. Fu Manchu is the name of the moustache that doesn't grow under the nose, just the sides. People want to know why Hitler as a name has been ruined, but not Joseph Stalin. Because Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat,

such a happy musical. Joseph, the man that stepped up to Stepfather Jesus, I think the name had done a fair bit of heavy lifting. Yeah. Whereas prior to Adolf Hitler, I don't know if there'd been any like pillars of the Adolf community. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

But Stalin's the, that's what everybody. Someone suggested that the anti-Hitler could kiss the Hitler like a puzzle. A perfect puzzle. Or get their DNA and mix it together and make a baby and see if that can grow a moustache. A full moustache. Yeah. Mix it up.

I'm not sure how genetics works. It's such a long experiment, though. But it's a very good experiment. Fletcher's just spending hours in his garage mixing sperm together and like, when will the baby come? Yeah. It doesn't work like that, but it's a good experiment. Fletch is just spending hours in his garage mixing sperm together and like, when will the baby come? Yeah, yeah. It doesn't work like that, huh? And then drops it on a chicken egg.

He's like, I heard it was an egg. I'm not good at science, guys. He's not good. Play ZM's Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's Scrabble Week here at Fact of the Day. Yeah. And I thought we might touch on one of the lesser known rules of Scrabble today.

Great. On Scrabble Week. You're not allowed to do TAB or KFC. You're not allowed to do acronyms or abbreviations. Or names. Yeah, that's what I was just about to call them, acronyms. No names. What is it one where it's like your personal noun, not a pronoun, like a name name.

What are you talking about? Like you couldn't do Carl, for example. It's called a name. But I mean, you could do table, and that's a name name What are you talking about? Like you couldn't do Carl For example Right Like a name Just name But I mean you could do table And that's a name For a table

Oh yeah yeah yeah But that's a thing isn't it? Not your personal Personal noun Yeah right Personalised noun Anyway whatever the name is Not pronoun

You're allowed to do Are you allowed to do pronouns? Yeah She She Yeah it's an easy one It is that You can totally make up a word in Scrabble

And play it It's up to your opponent To is that you can totally make up a word in Scrabble and play it. It's up to your opponent to know that that's not a word. Oh, yeah, like if you're playing against dumb people. Yeah, you can just put down a letter and then they'll be like, what does that word mean? And if you're quick enough and can make it believable, they're like, okay. A zebra quiff.

You're just like. A zebra quiff? What did you just say? Yeah, a zebra quiff. No, a zebra quiff. I was going to say, because there's no way you could have Q, U, and then two E's and an F.

Q, U, there's a couple of Fs. It's a popular word I like to use. A zebra quiff is when you, at pace, go across a zebra crossing. A zebra quiff. Okay. I don't believe it. Domo.

Well, let's check the dictionary. My family rules are, if you have to check the dictionary, you can't play rules are if you have to check the dictionary, you can't play it. If you have to check the dictionary to say, is that a word? Yeah. You're too dumb, you can't play it.

Okay, but if I'm like, that's not a word and you say, yes, it's a word, then we have to prove it. And that's why there is additions for the Scrapbook dictionary. Oh, damn, we're at the batch

and there's no Wi-Fi. There's no Wi-Fi. Oh. No, that's why we kept this handy. No, yeah, but they haven't updated since Ze that's why we kept this handy. No, yeah, but they haven't updated since ZebraQuiff the new word.

Oh, what year did ZebraQuiff get added? 2022. 2022. 2022. But it's technically in the new Oxford dictionary. They add words every year.

And this dictionary is from the 80s. I will take a photo of the Scrabble board on my phone and we will pause the game until we get into reception where I will Google Zebra.

But when we're going home and then the holiday's over and we haven't finished our game. You're kind of ruining this nice weekend away. I'm just trying to have fun and I'm about to zebra quiff out of here, okay? Okay, well, I think you're lying and nothing destroys a good family weekend away like lies.

Wow, accusing me of lying. Wow. Attacking my integrity as a human being. Unbelievable. I don't even want to play and I'll throw the board and then we'll just forget about it. I've already got a photo of it. This is typical

zebra quiff behaviour. This is what's going to happen. Then we go home and everybody thinks we forgot about it. Six months later we go back to the bat. You go for a walk. You come back. The board is set up exactly as it was. This is the sort of shit I pull. The board's set up exactly the same and I say, and I have zebra quiff, Google no results. And I'll be like, it's not even a word.

Never has been. So you were the first person. And then I'll be the thing that'll be like, oh my God, what a loser. Get a hobby. Let it go. And I'll be like, we'll say scrabble. Sit down. Let's finish this thing.

Let's play Monopoly instead. And I've also put heaps of hundies in my pocket already. True. We preloaded the hundies. We preloaded the hundies. Well, I hope we're ready to ruin every family passion. Get ready to mortgage your properties. This is why board games are banned in my house.

Yeah. Because of your psycho behaviour. It's banned. Yeah. I'm a psycho and Sade's terrible at them. Yeah. Okay. And she doesn't like losing and I'm a fantastic winner.

I tell everybody. She's terrible at what? What's that game that we play? Cranium. Yeah. Oh, my God. The worst. Oh, God.

Really? The worst. I love Cranium. Yeah, oh my God. The worst. Oh God, really? The worst. I love Cranium. Hum. And so Mary had a little lamb as your hum challenge. She goes, no, I don't know how to do that. No, she just says, she'll go, no, I don't know how to do that one. I'll be like, yes, keep going.

No, I don't want to. Now everyone's looking and I'm embarrassed. I'm like, this is your thing. And she won't play Scrabble with him because he won't accept Zebra Quiff. Which she knows. We know that's a word. We know they inflict you Zebra Quiff on a daily. Because you are quick to walk across a zebra crossing.

Is that what Zebra Quiff is? You're a dawdler across a zebra crossing and we Zebra Quiff it. Right. What is the word for someone who crosses a zebra crossing slowly? If there's Zebra Quiff, of course. There's plenty of words for that. A delordiquiff. A delord for that. A delordiquiff. A delordiquiff.

A delordiquiff. It's weird that you kept quiff, but you dropped zebra. I'm beginning to think zebra quiff at the start was a made-up word. Scrabble over. You're just attacking me. I'm an honest woman, and I won't stand for this. I think it's better if we don't invite him to weekends. Yeah, actually, you're not invited to New Year's.

If you guys just admit you're not good at the game. No, you're not coming to my bench. That doesn't exist. admit you're not good at the game. No, you're not coming to my bench. That doesn't exist. Admit you made it up and I'll let you keep it in the game. This is the level

it'll get to. If you admit that it's made up, you can totally have the points. you're being such a, we're just trying to have fun as a family.

Fine, I'll just play Va. I'll just play Va. Okay. Take zebra quiff off. Now you've got too many letters so you're going to need to put some

back on the thing. No, shut up. Don't put back the hard ones. No, you've taken all the good letters. You've just left vowels. I'll come round and pick the ones. No, I'm not playing. This is stupid. I'm going to go outside. I'm going to pick the ones I've got to put back on the board up. Don't put back the hard ones. No, you've taken all the good letters. You've just left vowels. I'll come round and pick the ones.

I'm going to kick a ball around. Yeah, well that was the whole idea. Go outside and enjoy this beautiful weather we're having. Shut up. It's just a peek into my marriage. Was it therapeutic in some way? It was a little bit good. You should role play Sade more.

Because I feel like I was the monster, but I wasn't the biggest one. Yeah. It's like Godzilla versus King Kong. We're destroying a city, but who's really to blame? Who's the worst one? I mean, the city's to blame. And it will be leveled henceforth. What was today's fact of the day?

Today's fact of the day was. You can make up words like zebra quiff. You can make up words. So you admit it! You admit it! Oh, my God. Just let admit it. You admit it. Oh, my God. Just let it go. You're taking it too seriously.

That's my victory parade around the lounge. Today's fact of the day is you can make up a word in Scrabble and play it. It is up to your opponent to challenge the legitimacy of that word. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Proper noun. Proper noun, that's right. Sorry. Which is what zebra quiff is.

Well, you can't play it. You've buggered yourself twice! You made it up and you made it a proper noun! Lose it! Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I show speed. Yeah, you sounded, that sounded cool.

Now there's a young man in the country that goes by the name, I show speed. I saw videos of this man in the country that goes by the name I Show Speed. I saw videos of this guy in the city and just getting absolutely mobbed by like boys. 13 to 18 year old boys. I've never seen him before in my life. I've seen the odd video of his pop up. He's like, does a lot of like live stuff, eh? Live streaming.

Dramatic and energetic behavior is what he's known for. And so he's doing a whole bunch of stuff over New Zealand, which is great for us. 33.5 million subscribers on YouTube. He has a huge following. So this is so good for like us and New Zealand tourism. Yeah. He went to Rotorua and did a whole bunch of tourist stuff.

I've just actually heard from someone say that we were in Rotorua at the luge and my husband said to a young person, who's that? I say that probably my age, if not a little bit younger this couple. at the luge and my husband said to a young person, who's that? I said they're probably my age if not a little bit younger this couple so I was like, who's that? It's one of those moments where you're really like huh, I remember this with my parents when they'd be like, who's that?

And you'd say it like, duh mum duh. It's happening. Yeah. It's Fred Durst in Limp Bizkit mum. Yeah. She'd be like, I don't know. He's doing it all for the nookie. Yeah. Mama. Mom.

Mama. But now it's YouTubers. Yeah. So this guy's in, then he was mobbed outside. Joel, who works here. Yeah. He was mobbed outside Sky City. I said to Joel, what's the story? He explained to me.

Primarily 13 to 18 year old, like young dudes. Yeah. He went to a warrior's training. Yeah. He was in Auckland. I think he was getting chased, like young dudes. Yeah. He went to a Warriors training. Yeah. He was in Auckland. I think he was getting chased around Takapuna. Yeah. Now I got last night

before the Moana 2 premiere, we were sitting having some dinner and I started asking Indy about it because she's my teen correspondent. Of course. She'll be 13 now to our teen correspondent. And she's, you know what's really good about it?

She's not like we were with Fred Durst. Being like, duh, mum. She's like, oh, he's da-da-da. And she's, you know what's really good about it? She's not like we were with Fred Durst. Being like, duh, mum. She's like, oh, he's da-da-da. And she explains it. It's really nice. Translates to us. Yeah, well, she knows that you have to pay for dinner if she's mean to you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not going to pay for anything. She's certainly not getting the loaded fries. Oh, yeah. She's getting plain fries. She's getting plain fries. Take that for laughing at dad. Uh-huh, plain fries.

You don't get any of my loaded fries. Uh-huh, no bacon for you. And no food. And I'm going to have a drink of your drink. Sometimes loadedhuh, plain fries. You don't get any of my loaded fries. Uh-huh, no bacon for you. And no food, and I'm going to have a drink of your drink. Sometimes loaded fries, the cheese really sticks them all together. It's very hard to just get a single chip. You've got to go hot because if you let them cool as well, it sort of congeals the cheese.

Can I sidebar? Please do. Sidebar on loaded fries. Last time I had Philly cheesesteak loaded fries. Yum. Thinly sliced steak. Mushrooms. No, see that's... Steak feels dry.

No, it wasn't. You sure? It was all saucy. I don't mind a pulled pork, but pulled pork kind of is a bit. Congeal-y. No, but it comes apart a bit better than, say, a steak. No, but it was like thin slices of steak. So you get a chip and you'd like dangle the steak over the chip

and then eat the chip with the mushroom and the sauce. I think it's too much. I always go plain fry. Okay. Yeah. Back to the original bar. But we're different, aren't we? But somehow still genuine friends. So, and I think it's too much. I always go plain fry. Okay. Yeah. Back to the original bar. But we're different, aren't we? But somehow still genuine friends.

So, and I think it shows. I think it shows. I think it comes through. I think it comes through. I think it comes through on here. I think you can hear it. So, over these loaded fries, she's explaining this. And then she's like, oh yeah, some guys took some time off school to like try to find them.

I suppose it's their version of big celebrities. Yeah. I would never have been allowed. Granted, no celebrities came within a hundred mile radius of Morrinsville. Justin Bieber wasn't performing at the local new world. At the local shops. Didn't do that. Outside the dairy.

But over the years of working in radio, there's always been moments where it's Justin Bieber, One Direction back in the dairy. But like over the years of working in radio, there's always been like moments where like, it's Justin Bieber, One Direction back in the day. We had the Royals visit not so long ago. And you'd always see like, and kids would be lining outside the studios, outside their hotels, like during school hours, like trying to track them down.

Yeah. Well, I mean, I definitely skipped school to go to the Lord of the Rings premiere on Courtney Place. Was that when Orlando Bloom wore the Huffer t-shirt? I can't remember. I was really young. I think it was, yeah. But I, yeah, I remember it was outside the embassy, you know, it was leading there.

And we all skipped school to go to that. Yeah, because there were a lot of French celebrities there. Yeah, it was awesome. And it was like a big moment. And I think we skipped school, but our parents knew, like we didn't do it naughty, naughty. We sort of said to our parents like kind of sanctioned? sanctioned naughtiness sanctioned naughtiness we want to know off the back of this

I show speed oh my god Vaughan where do I put the emphasis? on the I or the speed? I show speed we want to know who you skipped school to see yeah whether it was like a boy band would we even take like lining up I show speed. I show speed. I show speed. We want to know who you skipped school to see. Yeah. Whether it was, I don't know, like a boy band.

Would we even take like lining up to get tickets for something? You know what I mean? Yeah. Like people lining up for Taylor Swift and all that stuff. Yeah. There was a lot of that. Oh, yeah, but they don't line up for tickets anymore. Where was it?

There was news articles maybe like last year. And they had like, they were disguising themselves because they were skipping school and stuff to line up to buy tickets for something. Oh, the best is when someone skips school to like meet a celebrity and the news are like, we better get some coverage of this. Merch lines for Harry Styles.

That's what it was. And everyone was like, I've got to get in and get the merch. The merch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And skipping school at the same time. Yeah, skipping school. Okay, 0800DARLS. And we want you to give us a call now.

You can text through 9696. Who did you skip school to see? Katie, you travelled all the way from Hamilton to Auckland. Yeah, we did. Who were you trying to see and meet? Well, when we were 13, Justin Bieber was just like

the bee's mane. Of course. We ran away and hopped on a bus to Auckland. Ran away! Did you even tell your parents you were going to Auckland? Was this sanctioned, Dawniness? I was grounded for about a month afterwards. You little shit. They're pretty bold changing cities.

I got to sing and was like 50 metres away through a glass window. Worth it though, eh babe? Worth it? Yeah, it was worth it. And only a glass window. Worth it though, eh, babe? Worth it? Yeah, it was worth it. It was worth it? Okay, big. And only a week grounded. No, a month. Oh, a month. Okay, that's fair.

Yeah. Katie, thank you. Alex, who did you skip school to see? So, my mum was a part of the catering crew. She was managing them For when the last time I was being filmed in New Plymouth With Tom Cruise

Oh my god Many many years ago obviously So I got a sanctioned day off And I got to go with my mum to meet Tom Cruise Oh see that's pretty cool man That's cool, did you get a photo? I think my mum did I'm not sure if I did.

I was quite young. I can't remember. Yeah. The only thing I do remember is he was so short. I was going to say he's really short. He's a short king. He's a little fella. Do you know when he stars opposite people like Nicole Kidman,

who stands on a box? He stands on a little apple box. It says 1 metre 7. No. 1 metre 70. 1 metre 70. 1 metre 7 is like this 1 metre 70. 1 metre 70, Hon, 1 metre 7 is like this tall.

Yeah, yeah. Well, as far as my mum told me, they had milk cartons. Yeah, like milk crates. Really? Yeah, yeah. Interesting. Oh my God.

Worth it though? Yeah, totally. 5 foot 5 though. 1.7 is 5 foot 5. That's short. Is it? Yeah, I'm 5'11". I would tower over him.

Hamish, who did you skip school to try to get a view of? So my mum skipped school, but that's only because she was the black chef of the family and she didn't want to see the Queen when she was in New Zealand back in the

late 70s. She was doing one of her Commonwealth jubilee tours around all of the sovereign states and Mum just had absolutely no interest so she hid under the house. Wait, so she skips school to not see the Queen? Why was she scared of seeing the Queen? I don't think she was scared. I just think that

for whatever reason she just had absolutely no interest in seeing an old lady doing... Huge fan of becoming a Republican. She's a Republican.

I was like, is your mum Maori or something? Was she like, ah, coloniser? Taking a stand. No, just... No, and she's just

taking a stand. She's just like, well, I mean, I don't know what the big... My entire school's going to be like standing alongside the road so that she can see an old lady waving at me. Also, when you're a kid, not much scarier places than under the house. That's where all the spiders and rats are, you know.

So I can see she really faced her fear that day to avoid the Queen. Hamish, thank you. So many texts and calls. We'll get to more of those next. So many. So many great messages coming in. I know. I wagged school to see Princess Diana and Prince Charles

open Bay Court in Tauranga. But I was in the paper as part of the crowd and I got one week's detention at school. Oh, naughty. Yeah, but then you got to see Princess Diana. Now no one can. Why? I'm sorry.

That was a poor joke. No, it's too soon. It's always too soon. It's always too soon with Princess Diana, Joe. Respect. Back in 2001 or 2002, we got out of school to see Bill Clinton doing a speech outside the Antarctic Centre.

Bill Clinton! Wow. I mean, at the time, it was like a US president. Would it have been 2000? Because when did George Bush get elected? 2000. Yeah, maybe just before then. Because it would have been about the

relationship developing right between the US and New Zealand for the Antarctic travel. I don't know. Okay, here's a hypothetical. If Donald Trump, as president, comes to New Zealand and did something, would you go just to get like eyes on him? No. I think I would

just to see it in the flesh. I would love to see how orange he is in real life. That's what I mean by the face. Yeah, I'd love to just be like... I don't like being in an area with lots of people and I certainly don't like being in an area with lots of people where it's a volatile crowd. Yeah, true dat, true dat. So I don't like being in a drunk crowd

because it just feels volatile. It feels like a keg of dynamite the entire time. Alicia, who did you skip school to see? So this is dating back a little bit to the 90s. Okay, so the local radio station announced one morning that

Pete Andre was going to be at... What city were you in? What town were you in? I was in Hayley's favourite city of Palmerston North. Oh yeah, that's my number one, you know me. 2XX, was that the local radio station? What's that You know me. XXX? Was that the local radio station? What's that? Sorry?

XXX? Was that the local radio station? Yeah, 2XS it was. 2XS! 2XS! Good morning! Good morning! Good morning, Palmerston North!

And across the beautiful Barlowood, too. Right. Yeah. And so me and my best friend were super excited because he was our favourite at the time. Thanks, my mum, to let us have that. She actually wrote a note for both of us. Wow, that's nice. So we both went still and made our way into the city.

And then when we got there, we were kind of like, this seems a bit too good to be true. Like, you know, seriously, Peter Andre in Palmerston North. Yeah. We get to the mall and there's a whole bunch of other like-minded teen girls there, right? Ready to see the abs and everything. Yeah. Well, Peter Andre's abs.

I can see where this is going to. Ab implants, weren't they? That was the rumour. Ab implants. So then the radio announcers jump out and they're like, April Fool's. Oh, for God's sake. You know what? We would never do that to you.

I'm so sorry that radio did that to you. And even these years later that you have the courage to call a radio station after what this medium did to you. I applaud you, Alicia. I actually hope that, Alicia, for you, this is a healing experience to talk to us. Yeah, well, it's actually the first time

I've spoken of it out loud. Oh, wow. Okay, wow. That's amazing. We're unearthing some trauma. It's a breakthrough. It is a breakthrough. It is a breakthrough.

It's a huge moment. Do you know what? I want to do... I heard you are going to heal you. I want to do Caller of the Week. Let's fully heal her. Let's heal her.

We are undoing the hurt caused by 1990s local radio here, people. Oh, I just realised I did the whole show with my headphones on backwards. Well, that means the show's backwards then, isn't it? We're going to have to play this in reverse. Well, should we speak in reverse and hopefully

they'll work out the other way. Give us a review. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
