The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Hello, good morning, welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley still down in Vaughan today. Yeah. He's on an island with the Department of Conservation

with some cute wildlife. Oh, cute wildlife. Show us a picture of a kakapo. Oh my God. Beautiful. So gorgeous. I don't think I a kakapo. Oh, my God. Beautiful. So gorgeous. I don't think I've ever seen one, because where would I? You've got some white powder on your cheek.

It's that side. What kind of white powder? It's so funny. I take this supplement called Ovacetol, which is, like, good for PCOS, but it comes in this white, really finely chopped powder form. And sometimes it sprinkles on the desk, and sometimes it gets around, and it does look suspicious.

And then you, so you wiped it, right, okay. Is it gone? Yeah, it's gone. Yeah. I promise it is a natural supplement for PCOS. We're going to give you the chance before seven on the show this morning to go on the draw to see Sabrina Carpenter live in LA.

That call is happening tomorrow night. Tomorrow. If you get on the list, you've got to answer with please, please, please. So listen up for the activator or the mother trucker in the song. The top six is on the way. Yes, scientists are coming up with some kind of DNA testing and some DNA manipulation that could extend the life of your dog. Or your cat or just dogs?

Just dogs for now. Oh. I know. So I've got the top six things to do with your dog if they lived as long as you did. Next on the show, though. I don't want to start the show off mucky, but this is really gross. But you're going to start the show off mucky. Something really disturbing happened on a flight that to start the show off mucky. Something really disturbing

happened on a flight that caused a man to be kicked off. It's mucky. Let's make this quick, shall we? Full of regret, but we said we'd talk about it and here we are. Eugenio Onesto Hernandez Gane. Now he had flown to Miami

To get some plugs Now I thought this was probably turkey Hair plugs Right, okay He's a bald man He decided no more And so he went through Quite an intense surgery

Where they take hair From the back of your head Where it's still growing And they pull it out And they plug it around your head No, no, no, no. Follicle by follicle. No, just stay bald.

I know. Embrace the bald. Anyway, to each their own. You want it here. Well, sometimes I wonder how like people do that. Do they just come to work on Monday and they've got hair and like no one talks about it? No, because it looks really bad for a long time and then the hair falls out and then it grows. Right. So you go through a really

mucky process. So almost you want to go away somewhere for a couple of months and just take some leave. And then come back with hair. Well this guy did not wait long enough. He had the surgery, then he got on a flight back to Las Vegas where he lives. And trouble started on the plane

when flight attendants noticed that his head was leaking and that he had, I'm really struggling, he had a bloody bandage that was seeping. Why didn't he wait a couple of days before flying home?

They have like an aftercare facility for these things where nurses like come and change the pads and stuff. Anyway, so it was bloody and so the flight attendants went up to him and were like, dude, can you go and sort this out?

You're leaking. You're leaking. Your head's leaking. You need to go and change the bandages before we take off for this flight. We can't be having this. And he was like, well, I don't have any spare bandages. And they're like, well, we're going to have to ask you to remove yourself from the plane.

We can't have it. Because you're leaking all over the seat. You're literally seeping. And it's like a lot. Can you imagine being in the seat behind him? Ugh. Huh! Anyway, so then they started, so him and his partner,

they started resisting the, what is it? Flight crew member instructions. You've got, and as we know on the briefing, you must follow crew member instructions. All crew member instructions. And they said, look, we're going to have to say, we're going to say to you, if you don't go in your free will, you're going to get arrested because we really want you off this plane.

Your head is seeping and leaking everywhere, my dude. Now, when I was reading this article, I didn't realise there were headshots because they got arrested. And his headshot is a bloody leaking head with like a half a wound pad hanging off the back and I just really can't look at it anymore. But yeah, they got arrested because he just resisted and he said to them like, if I'm not getting

on this flight home, no one's going. And so all the people on the plane had to get off the plane, police got on, arrested him, they resisted, both of them caused a farce, they got arrested. And then before they took him to the jail, they took him to a medical centre.

To get new bandages. New bandages and get it all sorted out. I saw a video the other day, someone was complaining, a lady was doing her nails. She'd put her tray table down and she was like painting her nails. Yeah, and it was like a gel kit, which stinks. Like it would be so chemically. The whole plane would smell like a profession ale.

People do the wildest things on planes. Like just calm down. Like just watch Netflix. It's not your house. We're here for a short amount of time. You put on a movie and just calm down. Yeah. Disgusting. With the thing that you collect. Did you have you use the thing that I gave you? I didn't use it. To hold the iPhone? So Fletch gave me a...

It's from Teemu. It's $2. Teemu. Yeah, quality. Yes. Quality goods. And you clip it onto the tray table and you can put your phone in it and watch things. Oh my God, it's amazing.

No, I just watched what was provided for me. Oh, right. On the back of your... Yeah. Yeah, right. Okay. No, I didn't watch anything with my phone. You know what?

It's a great present. You'll thank me for that. Yeah. It's awesome. I mean, it'll thank me for that. Yeah. It's awesome. I mean, it did cost me $2.50, so if you're not going to use it... I tried to return it to you and you said, no, just keep it.

Don't be like, oh, yeah, I'd love that, and then don't use it. I don't know where it is now. Oh, okay, right. And it will probably never be found again. It's been thrown out, has it? No, it hasn't been thrown out. Sounds like it.

Straight into landfill. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. It's finally been out, has it? No, it hasn't been thrown out. Sounds like it. Straight into landfill. It's finally been revealed what Mr Beast was up to in New Zealand. Yeah, because everyone saw him around. He was eating in the Auckland Viaduct. They saw him in a Hamilton supermarket. Which initially I thought was just like

no, that's not right. Like, why would he be in a Hamilton supermarket? Yeah. And then they were like, oh, he was looking at his chocolate. His Mr Beast chocolate. Which is so shit. It's not right. Like, why would he be in a Hamilton supermarket? Yeah. And then they were like, oh, he was looking at his chocolate, his Mr Beast chocolate. Which is so shit. It's bad chocolate. It's so crap. It's bad chocolate.

We got sent some and we tried it. It's like... It's like Australian chocolate. It's like Australian chocolate. It feels like the equivalent of like Easter chocolate. When you're like, it's not much thought's been put into it. Like cheap Easter egg chocolate. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, don't come to New Zealand unless it's Wh much thought has been put into it. Like cheap Easter egg chocolate. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, don't come to New Zealand unless it's Whittaker's. Don't bother. How much do you think he paid Gordon Ramsay to say that the chocolate was good?

Yeah. It's crap. Anyway, Mr. Beast, he was here in New Zealand and everyone went crazy because he's like the biggest YouTuber ever

and he makes incredible videos that are worth like millions of dollars and he spends millions of dollars on them and gives away millions of dollars and they were like, oh my God, Mr the beast is here.

It's exciting. And now it's been revealed because the video is up. However, interestingly enough, he doesn't really mention New Zealand in it. No, he's just says he's going caving. He's going caving. So he was in Waitomo. Yeah.

The beautiful glowworms cave in Mangapu in the cave system there. Yep. And I believe he went down there, five of his crew. Yeah, so they abseiled down and then stayed in the cave for like a week. A week. Ugh. Yeah.

Like earthquakes. Yeah. We did this on a school camp. We went to Waitomo. Yeah. Do you know? I've never. We caved and we went in like, and I was quite fat.

It was hard to squeeze through some of the gaps. Chunky boy. You were a chunky boy. Chunky boy. And I hated it. I was like, let's get out of here. No, I don't want to do that. Too claustrophobic.

I don't want to do that. Anyway, so they did that. They went down and they had a guide with them. And at the end of the video, this happened. Joel, as a show of gratitude, we got you $50,000 New Zealand dollars. So it's 10 grand for every human you didn't let die. Oh, gosh. Thanks so much.

Oh, gosh. Thanks so much. So they gave their guide. That's pretty cool. 50K. Essentially a tip, right? That's a tip. It is just a tip.

It's a tip. Yeah. For not killing them. For looking after them for the week. But then that was sort of it. That's sort a tip. It's a tip. Yeah. For not killing them. For looking after them for the week. But then that was sort of it. That's sort of it. Maybe he made more videos and they're going to come out. Yeah.

But you would have thought that at the start of the videos, you'd be like, I'm in New Zealand. Yeah. People love New Zealand. I mean, they said the name of the cave. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally. But I guess, yeah.

But you wouldn't know. No. People around the world aren't going to be like, oh. Also, do you think that guy was like, when he had like brought out an envelope of cash, he's like, oh my God, finally, this is it. 500,000. He's going to change my life.

You know, half a million, a million dollars to people all the time. And then he's like, 50K. 50,000. Yeah, that'll really, that'll be helpful. I mean, it'll be great. I know, not to be ungrateful. Yeah. Anyway, we're talking about Mr. Beast

because I watch his videos every now and then. I'm on a little bit of a YouTube pause at the moment. Why? Are you having a cleanse? Yeah, I just, it's not stimulating me enough. Right. Yeah. But I watch Mr. Beast.

It's not horny enough. It's not horny enough. It's not your horny books. I think what it's lacking is an amount of sex. But I watch his videos every now and then, especially like the massive scale ones. Yeah. I'm just like in awe of how they put it together. They're incredible.

The girlies were just telling us that Mr. Beast is a little bit, what, cusp cancelled? He's on the cusp. Yeah. Why? Two big scandals at the moment. So his contracts have come out from his employees and it's pretty brutal.

It's like, hey, if you want to film at a Target and the employees say no, you go to their manager, try exploit them as much as you can, ask if they're kids like me. I can come get a photo with them. Like, do whatever it takes. No is not an acceptable answer. Okay. We're seeing how the sausage is being made.

Yeah, I know. People want to eat the sausage. Yeah, people want to eat the sausage sausage they don't want to see the factory they don't want to know talking about his editors it's real brutal about like you are not creative you are not allowed to work on multiple projects at a time

like it's just and then also he filmed this big youtubers video he got a bunch of influencers all the influencers come out with their contracts and have proved it's been rigged. I don't know. Part of me is like, yeah, if you work for him,

maybe it's not the greatest thing. But he also builds homes for people in Africa and puts water pumps around the world and helps a lot of people. How many water pumps have you installed in Africa? I'm working on it. I'm working on my first pump currently. Currently zero.

I know what you mean, though, because you're like, it's not great stuff. This behind, like, you know, like with James Corden and Alan DeGeneres, and you see all the kind of how they treat their staff is not great. Yeah. But at the same time, he gives away millions of dollars to needy people.

But the chocolate is shit. Am I cancelled? Your cancelled. But the chocolate is shit. Play Z cancelled? But the chocolate is shit. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six.

Now, Vaughan is away with the kakapo down south. So we are tasked today, yesterday and tomorrow with the Top Six. And I saw an article about a company called Wolfgenics. Okay. Like Wolfgenics. Yeah. Not wolf. It's a company that is basically, you know how like we're looking into DNA testing in

order to prevent illnesses within humans. So you're going like if you could test earlier. Yes. Things that you may be pre, what's the word? Disposed to. Disposed to. Is that the right word? You've got a predisposition to this, that, and the other thing.

And if we know these things about ourselves, we can prevent them early and therefore live longer. Yes. So Wolfgenics is employing these techniques, but focusing on dogs. Okay. Because the average dog's lifespan is 10 to 14 years across all breeds at 10 to 13 years,

which they say brutally short considering it's your best mate. Yeah, because cats would be longer, right? Yeah, cats are generally, oh, I've had two 16, 17-year-old cats. And larger breeds even less, and then breeds that we've overbred even less. Your pugs, your Frenchies, all that kind of stuff. Anyway, so it's sad, so they wanted to do this and they've been doing all this testing on like, basically how we've been doing

it on humans, and they've been testing on mice. Yeah. And the way that they've done this, they're like testing for things and then saving them basically, and increasing the lifespan of a mouse by 14%. And they're like, man, if we could keep going, we could have dogs living longer and longer and longer and longer.

So I've come up with the top six things that you could do with your dog if they lived as long as you. Number six, go to the salon and get your roots done when the greys start to show through. You know, because they get a bit old. They would get grey too. Yeah, they get grey fur. Does your cat, oh, our cats are grey.

Yeah, my cat literally is half grey. Yeah, but Rolly's starting to get a few more kind of wiry white ones. Oh. That come out. Do you just pluck those? No, I don't pluck them. I don't pluck my cat. Because they'll grow back.

No. Number five on the list... Do you think people do dye their dogs? Yeah. Like when they get grey? No, people dye their dogs like pink and stuff. Oh, yeah. Okay.

Number five on the list of the top six things that you could do with your dog if they lived as long as you could. You could have a nice 50th anniversary golden party. You know, they have the 50th anniversary. You're Dan and Gran. They cut a little cake. You could get a gold collar. You could have a little like dog roll chub.

Oh, yeah. And people do speeches and stuff. Yes. At the local pub. It'll be so nice. Number four on the list of top six things you can do with your dog if they lived as long as humans. You

could both go to the osteo and get a bit of an adjustment on the back. Yeah. Because you know your back gets bad. You could be walking your dog on the beach and they could have one of those free tents, like free spinal checks. Oh yeah. Careful with your dog. They might have a fall. If they live as long, they could have one of those free tents, like free spinal checks. Oh, yeah. Careful with your dog. They might have a fall. If they live as long, they might have a fall.

Number two? Three. Number three on the list of the top I was like, oh God, I don't have six, but I do. Number three on the list of the top six things that you can do with your dog if they live as long as humans, you can go get Botox together. Because they're frown lines. lines are going to get bad.

You've got to start early. It's preventative. Yeah. In fact, if you've got a dog now, I'd go and get some tox. In preparation for the fact that they might end up living longer. Yeah. And of course, but then what if your dog, like you, you decide, oh, I don't want to do that. Yeah, they'll come back round to it. You reckon they'll change their mind?

They'll come back round to it as the frown lines come back. They'll be like, oh, I think I do want to do that? Yeah, they'll come back round to it. You reckon they'll change their mind? They'll come back round to it as the frown lines come back. They'll be like, oh, I think I do want to do that. Number two on the list of the top six things you can do

with your dog if they live as long as you do, you should sign them up for KiwiSaver. Oh, yeah. Because if they're going to live to 65,

how are they going to get by? I've got to imagine if dogs did live that long, there'd be all these like... Elderly dogs? Yeah.

Cute. Little old dogs. Commodions. They'd have these like... Elderly dogs? Yeah. Cute. Little old dogs. The rest of the time they'd have these like skeletal dogs walking around. Or barking at the young dogs. Like, get out of my lawn. And number one on the list of the top six things you could do with your dog

if they lived as long as you did, you could install a handrail on the tree where they piss. You know what I mean? Because you don't want them to like crook up a leg. And then fall over. And have a fall. Or not be able to get the leg back down because of the arthritis.

Exactly. So you want to have one paw on a handrail, the other leg up to the side. Yeah. So they can have a nice safe wee. That is today's top six. Play. ZM's Fletch Vodanale.

Play. ZM. Cucumbers.ughan and Hayley Play ZM Cucumbers Can't find them Can't buy them And if you can find them You're going to pay for it Are they out of season at the moment?

I don't know Do you know I went shopping the other day I mentioned that I was looking for some capsicums And they were expensive And now in some supermarkets They've got the out of season sign

Basically saying This is why this costs so much've got the out of season sign basically saying this is why this costs so much because it's out of season, it's been imported. So don't yell at the staff. You don't yell at me that this is a $12 capsicum. It's out of season. Who is paying $12 for a capsicum? I nearly did. I get those king

sweeties, those long capsicums in the back. Oh yeah, those are nice. But you didn't look at the price. No, because I always grab them. That's how they get you. I went in and I was like, oh, they two, the long capsicums in the back. Oh yeah, those are nice. Love them. But you didn't look at the price. No, because I always grab them. That's how they get you. I went in and I was like, oh, they got the King Sweeties grabbed. And then I was like, I'll go back and I'll get a regular capsicum to put in my pizzas and stuff. Because I don't really care.

Yeah. And then I looked at the capsicums and I was like, hang on a second. Look back at the King Sweeties. I think it was like 13, yeah, $12.99. For like two little, oh, that's ridiculous. Yeah, $12.99. For like two little... Oh, that's ridiculous. Yeah, it would have lasted like two meals. Anyway, so cucumbers are having shortages around the world

for a number of reasons, but one of the main ones that they think is this like cucumber viral cucumber salad in which you get a mandolin and you thinly slice it. So funny watching a girl do it on TikTok and she's like, slice the hand. Oh, yeah, okay. You've got to use the guard.

Anyway, so you like thinly slice this cucumber salad and everyone's like obsessed with it. And now people are buying them so much. So what makes it that they're really thin slices? I don't know. I haven't made it, but I believe the girl is. Have you gotten into the cucumber salad? Of course I have.

I do everything I say on TikTok. You do. So what is it? So you slice the mandolin, the cucumber. Yeah. Or if you're like poor, you just use a grater or a knife. Oh, yeah, yeah. The grater with the slice.

But then it's not as thin. Yeah, but you know. You can get a mandolin from Kmart. True, true, true. But yeah, I paid $7 for a cucumber. I can't afford a mandolin at the moment. Yeah, true. It's a cucumber or the mandolin.

So this guy, Logan, he basically releases new cucumber recipes. I'm only getting the musical instrument when I search mandolin. Oh, also a great instrument, but very difficult to play. Greater. Now, Logan, he's the guy who makes a lot of Korean food, eh? Yeah, so he basically releases new recipes most days, and it's how to eat an entire cucumber. So the most popular one is kind of an Asian cucumber salad.

So it's, you know, your rice wine vinegar, soy sauce. Fish sauce, sugar, green onion, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, and, if you've got it, MSG. Yeah, that's a big important thing. But he's also, like, got real creative. So there's a salmon bagel one. So he does cream cheese, salmon, chives, shake that all up. And then yesterday I saw one, which I do want to try,

and it's like a New York deli sub. So it's, like, salami and, like, pickles and, like, everything you'd have in a sub. And so you get all the ingredients, you put it in like a deli tub, shake it up for like five minutes and it's the most delicious snack. But it is so expensive. Yeah, but this is the thing is like so many people are following this guy making these cucumber salads that like you can't find cucumbers anywhere.

Like anywhere in the world because it's... It's that popular. That's insane. Yeah. Supermarkets in the US have started selling pre-mandalind cucumber in the containers. That's smart. And it's like $14, but people are buying it to save cutting their fingers off. Sometimes it's tempting, though.

You know when you go to the supermarket and you want some pumpkin, and then you see the pumpkin that's pre-chopped up, and you're like, that would really be a helpful start. Yeah, because chopping a pumpkin. Because, man, I hate cutting a pumpkin. Yeah, it's hard. It helpful start. Yeah. Because man, I hate cutting a pumpkin. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard.

It's dangerous. But they just, they know they charge you up the wazoo. It's like buying pre-riced cauliflower or like pre-spiralized zucchinis, pre-sliced cucumbers, pre-sliced mushrooms. They know that we lazy and they want to make money. So anyway, if you're a cucumber fan, which I think in general, we did a vibe check. Well, we've got a Lebanese here at Lebanese Cucumber at Newwood for $1.99.

Can you mandolin that? Or is it telegraph? Oh, they're small. It's got to be telegraph. Telegraph, yeah. A pack and save, $4.99 I'm getting here on online shopping. That's pretty good. Yeah, I paid $7 last week. $5 for a cucumber is not good. That's a $2 vegetable. That's pretty good. Yeah, I paid seven last week. Five bucks for a cucumber is not good.

That's a two dollar vegetable. It's basically water. It's not the 1990s, mum. It's basically water, dad. Yeah, it's my worst vegetable. They make me burp. I don't know why. Every time I eat cucumbers, I burp. I used to find them really strong.

Like way too strong. If you had a sandwich and there had been a cucumber around it, I'd be like, no, I can't eat that sandwich. Also weird, like this Hack and Save's photo of their cucumber. Like wouldn't you have chosen a more attractive cucumber? Really a tapered tip. It's got a tapered tip.

Also, I would have taken it out of the plastic. No. Why are we plastic sealing these cucumbers? Because you don't want other people touching your cucumbers. Why not? Wash your cucumber when you get home. Do you wash it if it's in the plastic. No. Why are we plastic sealing these cucumbers? Because you don't want other people touching your cucumbers. Why not? Wash your cucumber when you get home.

Do you wash it if it's in the plastic? I don't wash any of my vegetables regardless of how they are. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley

Silly little po Silly little po It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little poll, silly little poll, silly little poll, silly little poll, silly little poll. Today's silly little poll is a huge debate. You can only pick one. Colby, Edam, tasty or mild.

Now these are your classic cheese blocks. Colby, Edam, Tasty or Mild. Now, these are your classic cheese blocks. I always get Edam. Do you know what? I'm a Tasty girl. I grew up in Edam family. Is it because it's like 33% less fat? Yeah, I grew up in Edam family because I grew up in the 90s where we were fat phobic.

And then I moved to Tasty because it's better on pizzas and that kind of stuff. Oh, yum. Now I'm back to Edam because I'm on this meal program, and that's what the nutritionist said. Yeah, right. You know, add a little bit of cheese, it's going to be Edam. Okay, the results are in, and it's pretty close.

Down the bottom, 4% mild. Oh, yeah. That's not even a cheese. Nah. It's just not worth it. What is it? Why bother? 21% we've got Col cheese. Nah. It's just not worth it. What is it? Why bother? 21% we've got Colby.

Okay. Sitting at 37% is our humble Edam. Okay. I like it smooth. Are you telling me Tasty has won? 100%. 39% Tasty. Because of the pizzas.

Yeah, because it's just got a bit more to it. But I like the texture of Edam. It's smooth. Yeah, same. It's a smooth cheese. It's a smooth cheese. It's a nice cheese. Tasty's a bit more crumbly.

Okay, well, let's get some feedback from the people. Charlotte says, Tasty is only good for scones. Old people like Edam. Nobody really likes mild. Normal people choose Colby. I don't think I've ever bought a block of Colby I wouldn't even know what it is Wow Okay

Okay Emma says I like to pretend I'm a little sophisticated But we all know Colby is just a different name for Edam Also they're both quite mild are they? Okay Lucy says I get less squirty farts when I have mild cheese Lucy you've shared too much there You have there We don't need to know less squirty farts when I have mild cheese Lucy

you've shared too much there you have there we don't need to know about your squirty farts but then some people are lactose intolerant aren't they do you know that lacto

the lactose what's that lacto cheese that they do and it's like a little bit it's got less lactose in it that's pretty good

I have a friend that'll get the lactese what are the pills if they're gonna have cheese or lactose yeah just cause they's pretty good. I have a friend that'll get the lactese, what are the pills, if they're going to have cheese or lactose. Yeah, they take a pill. Just because they're like, I just want to eat cheese,

I want pizza. They'll take a pill first. And then they'll just take a pill. Yeah. Alexandra says, Colby, because it's melty and smooth. Is it?

Okay. Kirstie says, ooh, I can't believe so many people like Edam. I tried because I bloody love cheese, but I heard it was lower in fat and it sucks.

Cheese needs fat to be delicious goodness. Yeah. So she's gone tasty. Anna says who's paying for tasty? Edam is yum and cheap. It's significantly cheaper. Is it cheaper than tasty? Oh, by like a lot. Is it because tasty takes longer to make? Yeah, I guess

so. Okay. I don't know. Do I look like a cheesemaker to you? You're asking me questions about the in-depth protocols of making cheese. I thought you were a cheesemaker. Well, you've got that part about me wrong. Kelsey says, God, for a second I thought this was a list of home and away characters. Colby, Tasty and Lyle. Good from you.

Good from you. Really good, Kelsey. Samantha says, I love a mild cheese. As a former non-cheese eater, the others are just far too strong. What do you mean a non-cheese eater? Oh my god. Cheese is the foundation of life. Cheese is life. Cheese is life. You need

oxygen, water, shelter, love and cheese. And cheese. Yep. Chanel says tasty tastes like cheese. All the others taste like salty milk. Wow, okay. That's so good.

I didn't know I was so plain with my EDAM. Yeah, Elise said I grew up with EDAM. No other cheese is made quite the same way. Do you know what? My next block of cheese is going to be tasty and I'll just try it. It's full on. Okay.

When you go, I know this is someone who is a bisexual cheeser. Yep. Who loves eating and went tasty. It's fluid, isn't it?

I'm fluid. It's fluid on the, I'm a pan when it comes to cheese. Do you know what I mean? Because I love, I don't buy the grated cheese in a bag, but I imagine tasty wouldn't be a good snack cheese. Oh, I mean, Carwen literally just threw her hands up in the sky

and said it is the best. Tasty is the best cheese. To snack on, though. It's full noise. To snack on. Yes. Like if you were to just cut a slice or out of the bag. It's crumbly. That's what I'm doing every single day at the moment. Make a sandwich and then a little slice snack on. Yes. Like if you were to just cut a slice out of the bag. That's what I'm doing every single day at the moment.

Make a sandwich and then a little slice of cheese. Yeah, yum. Because I've got EDAM back in my life, I'm like EDAM rolls. But I was tasty. As I say, I'm a pansexual when it comes to cheese. I mean, they're both basically the winners, aren't they? Yeah, by a small 2% margin, Tasty takes it out. There is a Californian startup that in just a couple of years Yeah, by a small 2% margin, Tasty takes it out. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

There is a Californian startup that in just a couple of years says it will be able to deliver you sunlight after dark using mirrors from space. It just seems batty to me. Like how you're going to put, so there's going to be mirrors in space that are bouncing the sun's rays. Yes. And then you'll be able to order some sun. So the main reason for this is a lot of places on Earth

have these giant solar fields. Yes. With just panels and panels of solar panels. And of course it gets to nighttime and they're not able to be generating electricity or being used. So the idea of this startup is that the mirrors will reflect onto these solar farms

for a portion of time at night to charge the panels. Are the panels not getting charged enough during the day? I thought that's how it works. Like glow-in-the-dark stickers on your roof as a kid. They get enough sunlight during the day, so that at night they glow. And then by the morning they've gone out. But so also you'll be able to go onto this website,

or maybe by the time they've sorted this out, use an app where you can buy sunlight for, like, I don't know, you're having a party. Your barbecue. Your barbecue, and it's dark too early, so you buy some sunlight for an hour. This feels like a rich person thing. It really does. Do you know what I mean?

Like, rich and famous will be doing it. Reflect Orbitals says that you'll be able to book a spot of light. You can fill out a form, which is due by October 23, 2024. So you've got a couple of months. And the sunlight after dark will be delivered starting in Q4 2025. So in the last quarter of 2025. It will only be available for four minutes and cover a diameter of five kilometres. 5K?

Wait, so your neighbours are going to get it? You could literally light up a whole tiny town or a whole neighbourhood. Wait, are we having a hooey about this before I say, hey guys, look, I'm on, I'm in number 27 and I'm having a beautiful barbecue. Yeah. I'm having my 30th.

I'm having my 30th. Yeah. Definitely not my 40th, my 30th. Do you like how I said 30th? Thank you so much. I am closer to 30 than I am to 40. Yeah. And I would just like for the night to go on

and for it to be a night to remember. So if you don't mind, within a 5K radius, I'm going to order some sunlight. Although they're saying four minutes. Is four minutes enough for a solar farm to generate a lot of, or is this just for private citizens? You just get four minutes. Why would you just want four minutes of?

The time is wrong and the amount of space. It needs to be a smaller, like, just a house lot of light. Yeah, I think my property's like 900 square metres. Can I order 900 square metres of light? I mean, that may be how it... In the shape of a rectangle. In the future, that's like

what could happen. You could. You could say, hey, this is my property. It's X amount by Y amount. Yeah. Wide and long. But then space is, it's this is my property. It's X amount by Y amount, wide and long. But then space is this wild west at the moment, right? Like there's already concern about space junk and too many satellites and willy-nilly. I know. Now we're sticking beautiful Venetian mirrors up there.

Do we have any rules about like... Who can put things up there? Projecting light onto people's neighbourhoods? Doesn't feel good. At night time? Is this a joke? Is it? No, people's neighbourhoods. Doesn't feel good. At night time. Is this a joke? Is it? No, it's not.

How bizarre. It's not. It's not April Fool's. Like, if this was a story on April Fool's, it'd be like, it's actually, it was actually done by the Russians in, I believe, the 90s. Right, they had a go.

They had a go. And then they've also used hot air balloons and mirrors to, like, test this. I want to see what it looks like. I want to see how it's, you know what I mean? They had a go and then they've also used hot air balloons and mirrors to like test this. I want to see what it looks like. I want to see how it's, you know what I mean? I want to see like the line between dark and light when it hits the earth. What, like you want to see a light coming? Like where it beams down, like say it was a spotlight.

Because it says they'll use low orbit satellites, but is that, how high is low orbit? Is that enough to see the sun when you're in darkness? Like when New Zealand's in darkness. I don't know. Is that high enough to get? I'm sure it is. I don't know. I don't know how space works.

Producer Jared had a good suggestion, which is if you've got an enemy, order some light and just like wait them up in the middle of the night. I think that's genius. Especially if they've got those like slack curtains because they never cover the light. Yeah, well, you've got those blackout curtains,

but I don't believe Hayley does. No. Q4 2025. Yeah. You're going to get me. Get it back at your enemies. Oh, my God. I mean, it would be a great,

I don't know how much it costs to get four minutes of light over five square kilometres. You can imagine it would be a lot. Well, like, we get 12 hours of light for free every day, so surely it wouldn't be too much, right? Yeah. Also, like, land of the long white cloud, like, it's not going to get through.

Yeah, no, God, no. Like, when is it ever totally clear? Hardly ever. Like once in a blue moon. Wellington on a good day. Yeah. Next on the show, you may remember we talked about this new Aussie law,

the right to disconnect on the weekends from your workplace. Or when you finish at five, you don't have to answer. I have some clarity around whether or not New Zealand also can do this. We talked maybe a month or so ago about the right to disconnect law that was being

implemented in Australia. And it kicked in a week ago? Yeah, which meant that employees could not, employers could not punish workers who did not pick up their phones outside normal working hours or answer emails or whatever. So say if you're a 9-5, a Monday to Friday, that's your weekends.

Or after hours or whatever. So good, so good. Yeah, and it's basically encouraging, like we live in a world of burnout and it's encouraging people to go like, here's what you're getting paid for, here's your hours, outside of that. Now this isn't something we have a problem with. We just leave. I even think sometimes our social group chats a bit much.

I've brought that up with a group, but yet it continues to ping during the day. But that's fine. In general, we don't really get hounded much during the day. No, no. But a lot of people do, I know. And so then people in New Zealand were like, well, do we have this? Because it's also in France, Ireland, Canada, very similar laws. Now Australia.

So an employment law expert has said that, no, it's not actually, it's not its own thing like Australia has now put in place, but we do have protection for workers. So they've said, in order for such availability requirements to be lawful and enforceable, so in order for your employer to be able to contact you, it must be recorded in writing in your employment agreement. So it must say in your contract.

Right, that after hours, you must be contactable. Yeah, exactly. So if it doesn't say that, then you can just literally ignore emails and phone calls. Yeah. So what you're getting paid for is in the contract. And so if you are not being paid for after hours work, which should be stated, then you should either be given some compensation

for increasing your availability outside of those work hours. And then you've got your minimum guaranteed work hours, so say it's 40 hours or whatever hours, however many a week. And then outside of that, it would need to be additional. So no, it's not its own like thing, but if you were someone who was having a problem with this, and like your boss was like, yo, yo, where are those files? It's Saturday and you into club. And then on Monday, yo, yo, where are those files? It's Saturday and you're in the club.

And then on Monday they're like, where were you? I needed those files. Were you in the club? You'd be like, yeah, I was in the club, but actually it's none of your business. Because I'm allowed to be in the club. I'm allowed to be in the club because it was my Saturday night and it's outside of my work hours.

And also there needs to be genuine reasons for the inclusion of such arrangements. So if they try to like thumb it in to be like, well, I just want you to be available at all times in case they need you. Yeah, right. That's not a genuine reason. It would have to be like if an emergency

or if we're dealing with international people and we're in different time zones, da-da-da-da-da. So if it was a problem, you actually have, even though it's not its own right to disconnect law that Australia's put in place. But then it's okay. It's one thing to say have, even though it's not its own right to disconnect law that Australia's put in place. But then it's okay. It's one thing to say that, but then it's another thing like if your boss isn't happy

and then you feel pressure and then you want to keep your job, it's like, it kind of gets awkward, doesn't it? Yeah, totally. I mean, I guess that's maybe where you get an HR person and be like, how do I approach this? I don't know. I don't really have a real job. We don't really have a real job. We don't really have a job.

This is malarkey. This is just talking. We just talk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're just talking. We're just wearing T-shirts and a cap. You know what I mean? We're just hanging out, just talking.

Play ZM's Fletch Von Anele. Play ZM. Now, I've mentioned a couple of times. I don't want to harp on about it, but I am on a journey. To health? To health and also hotness. The hottest version of myself I've ever been. You've been sleeping. Tell people how much you've been sleeping. Eight hours a night. It's the foundation. Which when you get up at four is really hard to do. It means you've got to go to bed real early.

And it's really fun. And then I've just been falling asleep. Eye mask, earplugs in, listening to a book or a podcast or whatever. Sleep I go. Amazing. So I'm feeling incredible but I've also been on this meal plan working with a trainer, trying to get my muscles all pumped, I want to be jacked I want to be like that can't go through a doorway

you've got to go sideways through doors, that's how jacked you want to be really got to work the lats anyway, as part of this, I'm on this meal plan and it's like, I've done these before where it's all about your protein. You've got to weigh out your proteins and whatnot. Oh, okay. I know, it's a bit full on, but I'm like, I'm following it for now.

You need to be told. I need to be told what to do. You need to be told what to do. Yeah. I just need to be told what to do. Tell me what to do. Anyway, so my trainer has this kind of flexible meal plan where like you can like make it into anything. When I hear flexible, I'm like at a chocolate bar.

No, not that flexible. Okay. Not that flexible. But you can choose your protein and then you can choose your carb. And then there's a way, if you put them all together, that you could do a little wrap pizza. Oh, yeah. So I did this yesterday. And Aaron was out.

And I got four wraps. Yeah. I was going to make him two wrapped pizzas and me two wrapped pizzas. One I'd eat for dinner and one I would have for lunch today because I've got a really busy day and I don't have time to be going home and making a portioned out weighed out conscious meal

right? So I was like I'll just have this. So I make these pizzas and I give him on his I just chuck the shit on. I'm just like boom you have some meat and some vegetables and I'll put heaps of cheese on. He's a big man. He's a big boy. He deserves a big meal. And if mine, I've portioned it, I've weighed the chicken.

I've portioned it out. I've weighed this, I've weighed the cheese. When you're weighing a tiny, tiny slither of chicken, are you just like, this is my life now? No, it's plenty of chicken. The chicken's abundant. The cheese is not. Oh, that sucks. So I'm like, I've weighed my cheese, I've grated the cheese, I've put it on. The chicken's abundant. Right. The cheese is not. Oh, that sucks. So I'm like, I've weighed my cheese.

I've grated the cheese. I've put it off. Eat them? Eat them. Eat them. We're eating them. Yeah. Anyway, so I have a perfectly

macronutrient balanced pizza. Yeah. And I've cooked them and I've eaten my pizza for dinner and there's my pizza and there's Aaron's two pizzas. He gets home. He's like, oh my God, you've made dinner.

That's so nice. Thank you. Chatting to me. How was your day? Did you talk about anything fun on radio? Always ask me this. I'm always like, I don't know. Why don't you listen? That's like saying that like a kid, like, or mom and dad asking like, what did you learn today? Yeah. I don't know. I've forgotten it. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. And so I, so he, he's like eating his pizza and stuff. And then I turn around

and his second pizza's there. And I was like, right, there's your second pizza. I'm going to clean up. You go and do whatever. And then I was doing my like meal prep for today and I went to go put my pizza away and it's gone. And I was like, what? And his big, meaty, cheesy pizza is left then.

And Aaron has grabbed the wrong second pizza and has eaten my portioned out 150 grams of chicken, 40 grams of cheese. Balanced macronutrients. Balanced macronutrients. Consciously weighed out, seared in its own pan so I know exactly the weight of everything. He's just scoffed it. And I went into the lounge and I was like, did you get my pizza?

Because your pizza had beef on it and mine had chicken. And he was like, oh no, did I eat your pizza? He was like, well on it and mine had chicken. And he was like, oh no, did I eat your pizza? He was like, well, just have mine. And I said, no. And I went off at him about eating my perfectly macronutrient balanced pizza.

Because his was a sloppy, put everything on it. Sloppy. But wait, now did you get his for lunch then? No, because it's not macronutrient balanced. Oh my God, it's pretty much the same. It's not the same. I hooned cheese on his.

I put leftover taco mints on his. It was, no, it wasn't it. So then he was like, oh, I'm so sorry, as he slowly went into the kitchen and ate the third one. So I made four pizzas yesterday. He was the winner last night. He was 100% the winner. He ate three of the four pizzas I made.

Next on the show, the anti-bucket list. Yeah, we've all got a bucket list of things we want to do before we die. What are the things we'll never do again? Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Do you have a bucket list of things that you want to do before you die? Maybe just like places I want to go. Yeah.

I'd love to go to Antarctica. You're a big traveller. But I hate cruises and I don't know how I'd like being on a boat. You've want to go. Yeah. Like I want to, I'd love to go to Antarctica. You're a big traveler. But I hate cruises and I don't know how I'd like being on a boat. You gotta cruise down there. For 10 days. Can you fly directly there from South America? I think you can,

but it's really expensive. Yeah. You can fly into some parts of it and then yeah. I don't have one written down. It's probably something that would be like quite a fun thing to do over summer. Like sit down and write out the things you want to do. But there are definitely things I haven't done. I haven't jumped out of a plane. I want probably something that would be like quite a fun thing to do over summer, like sit down and write out the things you want to do.

But there are definitely things I haven't done. I haven't jumped out of a plane. I want to do that. Most people's bucket list would just be the things that they've saved from like TikTok and Instagram like cool travel places. I want to swim in this place. I want to fly to this place. Go to this place. Well, like we've all got something we want to do before we die

at least. But what's gone viral is people are making anti-bucket lists and it's the things they've done in life that they will never do again before they die no way yeah and some of it is like that adventurous stuff like i jumped out of a plane and i hated it hated every second of it i never want to do it again have you is that actually true or is that an example no i've never jumped out of a plane. You've never? I know. See, I've done bungee jumping, didn't like it. I love that.

Because it's that you're standing there and your body's like, and then I did it and then there was some jarring and I was like, I didn't like that. I didn't like that. But whereas like jumping out of a plane, that was incredible. I've done that like three times and loved it. Yeah. No, I'd love to bungee.

I'll bungee jump again. If someone said to me today, do you want to go for a bungee jump? I'd be like, hell yeah. I love it. Oh my God, I love it. And I'd be like, I've done it. It's in my anti-bucket list. Yeah, right.

I don't need to do that again. Yeah. Well, this is what I want to get some calls and messages in from our listeners, is what's on your anti-bucket list. The things that you've done in life that you're like, no, maybe you always wanted to do it. It was on your bucket list.

Yeah. Or it could, it could be a place that you said you wanted to go. You're like, I've always dreamed of going to the, you know, up the Eiffel tower. And you got there and you were like,

yuck, this place smells like urine and there's lines everywhere and it's hot and it's horrible. Maybe it was something like, I don't know, you trained to do a marathon. Maybe it was something like, I don't know, you trained to do a marathon and then it was just the most horrible, you know, hours of your life.

I mean, a couple of examples along a similar theme have just been texted in. But we haven't even told people to text in yet. Oh, I did. I just said I want to get some calls and messages from your anti-bucket list things. Because I thought people were jumping the gun there. Yeah, yeah, calm down.

Don't predict what we're going to do. I'm going to switch it now. I'm going to flip it. We're flipping it on its head. No. Vaughanward. Getting married. Oh, okay.

Done it once. Don't want to do it again. Wow. And someone else said fall in love never again. Now, you've got to open your heart. Look. Look, being in love,

it's hard work, but it's the greatest thing in the world. It's the greatest thing in the world. Oh, my God. They are pouring in already, guys. Okay, great. Well, it's hard work, but it's the greatest thing in the world. It's the greatest thing in the world. Oh, my God. They are pouring in already, guys. Okay, great. Well, this is what we want from you this morning. Oh, my God.

Shia. I would never get my eyeballs cleaned in Vietnam again. Okay, I'm sorry, but you don't go to Vietnam to get your eyeballs cleaned. Is that a... We need some elaboration on that. Was that like a... Were you getting laser? Is that a... We need some elaboration on that. Was that like a... Were you getting laser? I was like,

was that a naughty thing or was that like a crazy, like, we'll clean your eyeballs out because that's terrible. No. Okay, we'll need some more elaboration on that. Keep your texts coming in.

9696. Give us a call. 0800-DARLS-IT-IN. What is on your anti-bucket list? Anti-bucket lists are trending because people are

revealing the things that they maybe always wanted to do. They did them and they're like, never again. Yeah. Never again. So we want to know what's on your anti-bucket list and we have had so many messages in and I believe on the phone

we have our eyeball cleaner from in Vietnam. Nicole, what the hell? Yeah, I, thinking back now, it probably wasn't the smartest idea, but it's one of those things that you do when you're in your 20s travelling. So, you're in Vietnam, and what

makes you get your eyeballs cleaned? So, we were at one of the wee beer halls, a Canadian couple, and they were telling us that they went and found this guy and they got their eyeballs cleaned and were like, oh, that sounds like a really good idea. So the next day we took our motorbikes out there and it was just like this roadside barber

type stool. And this guy had like an old miner's light, didn't speak a word of English, had like an old beer can, like with old water and all these random tools in them. And then, yeah yeah he like kicks you back in this old dentist chair and then yeah gets to work and he's using these things scraping your eyeball but you don't need your eyeballs

clean Nicole they're self cleaning I'm surprised we actually didn't catch any eye disease or do any permanent damage to our eyes yeah man you're so lucky my husband went first and I saw him do it and then I still or do any permanent damage to our eyes. Yeah, man, you're so lucky. Ooh. The funny thing is, my husband went first,

and I saw him do it, and then I still went and got it done second after him. Oh, no, no, no, Nicole. I just can't. Oh! Yeah, I've got photos if you want to see. No, I actually don't. I actually don't.

This sounds like the start of a horror movie, and then you go missing. Yeah. Nicole, this is what it sounds like. They find you, but you've got no eyeballs. Okay, so that's on your anti-bucket list. I don't think that was ever on anyone's bucket list but... Not doing that again.

Thank you. Bev, what is on your anti-bucket list? The thing you'll never do again. White water raft down the Zambezi River. Oh no, thanks. There'll be things in that river. There's crocodiles in that river. But it wasn't, that

wasn't the reason. The week before we went, there was a girl who fell out of the raft and got shut down a hole. And it took five days for her body to pop up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This is the week before you went.

What's the cancellation policy on this Whitewater raft day? Yeah, there's no cancellation policy once you've paid your money you're in. Yeah, just take the money. Okay, so you're like, well I guess we have to do this and you obviously made it. Yeah, yeah, I have. I survived it but I

the whole time I kept saying to the guide before we even got in because you have to watch this video, and they tell you all the dangers and they do whatever, and you're like, oh, my God. You know, I was like, okay. So I just kept saying, you're not allowed to let me drown. I am not drowning on this trip. I will haunt you for the rest of your life if you let me drown.

Yeah, I mean, that's the intention of the guide is not to let anyone drown. It doesn't sound like a great. Yeah, he sat me in the boat right beside him. So I didn't fall out, thank you God, I did not fall out. But when we got to the end of it all, I was like, kiss the ground happy, and I'm like, that's it for me, I can tick that off my bucket list, I'm never doing that again. And then, you know, we have visitors or something

and they come to New Zealand and they're like, oh, we'd like to go whitewater after. And I'm like, well, yeah, I'm not going. Oh, no, we're fine here. We're going to have an eel brush past your ankle. You'll be all right. Yeah, I would never go down a river in Africa. No, no, no.

That's on the anti-bucket list. Beverly, thank you. It's the messages in. Really happy to have you with us, Beverly. Someone says, Paris, I'll never go again. It's gross. It's yuck.

It stinks. You're right. Someone said, have a baby. Never doing that again. Someone said, climbing Rangitoto Island. I love Rangitoto.

That's incredible. They sounded very underwhelming. Oh, someone said, I think it was, we are, of course, the chosen station for lesbians Oh yeah

Never date guys again Not going back Not going back And I saw a message In a threesome It was on my bucket list Did it Wasn't for me

Was it okay A lot of navigating A lot of admin It's uneven numbers You need to go four You've got to go four You've got to go two or four Yeah

Or six Or you know Multiples of two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Never your threes, your fives, your sevens. There's always someone left out. Oh, you should try nine. Nine's a disaster.

I think so, I've heard. So we want to know the things that you'll never do again. Maybe the things that were on your bucket list that are now on your anti-bucket list. God, there's some good messages in. I'll never do Bikram yoga again. You know, hot Bikram yoga. Yeah, it's hot and sweaty.

I sweated from places in my body I didn't even know could sweat. I was red in the face for two full days. Amber, what will you never do again? So I had my daughter nine months ago at Taronga Hospital. So it was a planned cesarean, so of course you get an epidural for that one. A few weeks before that, I signed a

form to say that I'd be happy with a trained anaesthetist, which is fine because I've had a trained anaesthetist in the past. Four times, it took this guy to get the needle in my spine. So in and out, in and out.

Oh, darling. Oh, oh. And in the end, after I was crying literal tears, the trained anaesthetist had to come in and put me out of my misery. I've seen those needles, man. They're huge. Absolutely horrific. out of my misery. I've seen those needles, man. They're huge. Absolutely horrific. Oh, my gosh.

Has that put you off having another kid, or next time you just squeeze it out? Yeah, no, that's it. Yeah, well done. Oh, my God. I'd be like, just punch me in the face, I reckon. Absolutely, please. And nine months later, I still actually have back pain.

You can feel it, yeah. That's no good, man. Okay. Thanks for sharing, Amber. We're all kind of wincing. I think you made the country wince there. We all just wriggled on our tailbones. People driving around in their cars, listening, like, just wiggling the back there. Yep. Thank you. Someone messaged in, I'll never go

great white shark cage diving ever again. You know, when they lower the cage. It was one of those situations where the sharks keep getting stuck in the cage. How about now? You've got to make the bars skinnier. It never feels skinny enough. I know. I would never get my butthole bleached again, especially not in South Korea.

Now, I believe we tried to call this woman. Doesn't want to talk on air. She said Korea was too cold and her butt was tingling and overheating after the bleaching and she was all rugged up when all she wanted to do was sit on an ice cream. Why are people doing it? Yeah, I don't think that's a holiday thing, is it? No. Because also, who is, I mean, maybe people were seeing the butt in Korea on holiday,

but no one's going to see it. Just have a holiday. Someone said they'll never smoke synthetic marijuana again. Well, yeah, that's why it's illegal now. Can't believe there was even a thing. Anti-bucket list, bridge jumping in summer. Bingo wings, bruise, easy. How do you get your arms?

I've done a bridge jump before. Maybe because you've got to jump out on a bridge swing. Some people just jump straight down and it's quite jarring at the bottom. Yeah. Never wanted to skydive. Why trick my body into thinking that it's dying? Very excited to win a pub quiz in Noosa. I didn't know what the prize was.

Turns out it was a skydiving voucher. I went through with it to be a good sport. Hated it. Really? Got the shakes afterwards and threw up in the bus on the way back. Never again. I would never bungee jump again. When I was younger, I jumped and my t-shirt came off,

so I was bouncing topless. Yes. I feel like that's a text from a female. You've got to tuck in. I didn't even think about that. Bouncing topless. Because you kind of tuck your... Yeah, I guess you've got your harness and stuff.

No, because you don't wear anything on the... Yeah. Okay, it's just your legs. Never again will I have that one extra drink with the good-looking girl while my girlfriend is at home. Whoops. Jesus, we're getting some confessions here. Yes, I am female, says the bungee jump.

That's so good. That's so good. Oh, never again will I do a half marathon. Brutal. If you see me running now, you better run too. Yeah, people don't realise it's a long, it's 21Ks. Oh, yeah. And if you don't train for it, like don't show up on the day

having run around the block like five times. I can, I can not count the amount of texts we've had saying I'll never marry my ex-husband again. Well, that's the point. That's the reason that you're an ex. Yeah. You never have to do it again. Oh God. I just have an image of a topless woman. For some reason in my head, she's not wearing a bra and it's just all out and it's bouncing. And you know, those, um, souvenir photos at the end where you get like four different photos from all the different angles? You know the guy that's in charge of the photos has printed those off for himself. Oh, my God.

She said I was young with firm boobies. No, bro. I was just out there yesterday trying to live my day. So, look, look. I'm a normal woman. And yesterday after work, I went to the gym. Yeah. And I did a workout and I was really sweaty yesterday.

Really sweaty. And I was wearing these undies that were so uncomfortable. I'm due another undie run. Do you know what I mean? Like it's time to like get rid. And they were really like cutting into my bikini line. Like really cutting in. I was a little bit irritated.

Oh, you need to sort out your undie situation. You can't be going along like that. I know. Anyway, it was leg day as well. So a lot of leg movements. I was like, ugh. So I get downstairs and with the combination of the irritation and the sweat, I was a lot of leg movements. I was like, ugh. So I get downstairs and with the combination of the irritation and the sweat, I was a little bit itchy.

Right. In my... Area. Groin area. Yeah. So as I got changed, I was getting changed. I had to go somewhere. As I got changed...

This is at the gym. At the gym in the changing rooms. Yeah. I pulled down my shorts and I was like, oh, and I had a little scratch. Good Lord. I just had a little scratch in my groin. And do you know what? If I was a man, we wouldn't even blink.

Men scratch their junk all the time. Well, we have something we have to arrange. Yeah, I know. Because, you know, there's a lot going on down there. We just have to put up with it. Look at him. He's got his hand on his junk and he's just moving around, having a scratch. You always see a guy have a little quick little itch.

We try to be discreet about it. Yeah, but when we're doing the Fandango, people are like, oh, my goodness. The Fandango. The Fandango. Anyway, so I was having a little scratch of my side Fandango. Yeah. And I sort of like looked up and as it was like this chick was walking past and we hooked eyes and it was just the worst

timing I'm just trying to So you were having a good rearrange down there Rearrange of the fandango and an itch and a scratch because it was slightly irritated like this hand there and I just went and then as she walked past and looked at me and I was just like

and I just like sort of smiled as she walked past and looked at me and I was just like and I just like sort of smiled at her and then, oh my god. Oh, you made a smile. Oh, I don't know what else to do. Why'd you make a face at her? Now she probably thinks she I don't know. I don't know. She like did an awful quick look away and I was like mortified. So she caught you

having to rearrange of your Fandango. Fandango. Trying to sort it out. Anyway, so I thought that was the most embarrassing thing to happen to me and maybe it was

it's kind of on par later in the day I don't know how my day just turned this way later in the day I was I had a couple

appointments yesterday got my eyebrows done got my fingernails done and I was getting my moustache lasered okay and before you have and so when I get,

I get this whole area done, the whole beard area, chin, just the sides here, because I've got PCOS, and moustache. Yeah, which is, if you ever want to grow a beard, you know you're not going to be able to. I hope you realise. Everyone always says that to me, no? When men get their beards lasered,

like, well, what if you want to grow a beard one day? No one's ever said that to me yet. No. And thank you for giving me the opportunity to grow one. But anyway, so before you laser, if you haven't had laser hair removal before, you've got to shave it. Yes, you do.

Yeah, and I had forgotten, and I often forget. Like in the morning I'll forget, and I'll be like, oh, crap, I've got an appointment, I'm not going home. So I always keep a little razor, like a shaver in my armrest. Yeah. And so I got to. It happens so much that you have a razor in your car in the armrest. Also every now and then you'll see like a rogue one come back.

You'll be like, I just quickly get that. And I got to the mall. It's at a mall. It's in this big mall car park. Yeah. And I got there and I. It's at a mall. It's in this big mall car park. Yeah. And I got there and I was a little bit early and I went out and I had to drop off some dry cleaning and to do a couple of things and I was like, oh God, I haven't shaved

pre-appointment. And I was like, ha, I've got the razor in my car. That's fine. Yeah. I'll go to the car and I'll quickly try to discreetly shave my beard off in the car. So I'm in the car and I was like, there's no mirror other than the rear view mirror or the mirror that's in the sunshade thing.

The rear view's better. Yeah. The mirror that's in the sun flap is rubbish. It's a crap mirror. And also, who's, yeah, anyway, whatever. So I did, I readjusted the rear view mirror and I was like, packed, it was packed, the car park. And I was like looking around and being like,

just give myself a quick shave, give myself a quick beard shave, just make sure no one's watching, it's fine. Okay, yeah. I thought the coast was clear. Yeah. And so I get into that middle console and I pull out my little pink razor.

Wait, did he have some kind of shaving cream? No, you're all done. Oh my God. I know. You're getting grown. I'm so itchy today. It's so bumpy. Anyway, so I was like,

I'll just go quit thing and I've been keeping up the laser so it's not a lot. Just, you know, you got to trim it down so it doesn't burn and then I was in there shaving like, you know,

like your dad did in the mirror and you used to... Oh, you got to pull. Oh, you've got to pull the skin tight. You've got to pull the skin tight like that. Having a show, doing a beard the size like this. And I just peep my eyes, same thing. There's a guy who's pulled in the car park

right in front of me, this old man. He just eyeballs me directly and is like so confused. He was old enough that he probably wouldn't know like why is this woman why is a woman shaking her face he's like god i can't keep up with today's generation he just stares at me and i just i didn't smile i just was like dropped the razor like looked away

i just sort of um reached down and grabbed my seat recline and been like, and just hid until we left. So yeah, I got caught twice yesterday just trying to live my life. Yeah. Being a normal, relatable woman. And yeah. You got the laser though? Got the laser.

Feeling good. Smooth. Smooth. Yeah, look at that. Until that shaving rash breaks out later in the day. You've got to use a cream. You've got to use a cream. Troy Savan, Rush on ZM.

You sent a picture of you Lying on what looks like A hospital bed You've got a sad look on your face You're shirtless sent a picture of you lying on what looks like a hospital bed. You've got a sad look on your face. You're shirtless and you've got a towel over your shoulder and you're pulling the fingers. This to me immediately

made me say he's been in an accident. And he's in hospital. In my head I've gone he's come flying off a beam scooter. Well by the way they've banned those now. They've cut those in Auckland because beam were adding too many scooters to the streets. Naughty. And not telling the council. And I've got a monthly

pass. Do I get a refund for that? Oh, you better. Oh, surely. I'll send a message. Yeah, do. A disgruntled one. And you sent this as a I panicked. I was like, oh my God, like what's happened? What's happened? What's happened? He's at the physio. I only left it about 30 seconds and I was like haha, did you think I was dying? He's at the physio I only left it about 30 seconds and I

was like haha did you think I was dying he's at the physio I know but it looked like I was in a hospital bed really did yeah it looked like I had an accident I did this yeah I do this either when I get a colonoscopy or I got I've been having MRIs recently to try to sort out my leg and you get a hospital gown and I wasn't taking a photo like, don't even worry about it, guys. I'm just going through some stuff right now. Hospital baiting is, I think, the worst social media post anyone can ever do. Life's tough, guys. I'm just really going through it at the moment. It's always a vague comment or a title on the post.

I guess you never know what's around the corner. Yeah. What is it? And you're like, I've got a mole. I'm getting a mole removed. And you're like, oh, for God the corner. Yeah. What is it? And you're like, I've got a mole. I'm getting a mole removed. And you're like, oh, for God's sake. Yeah. Is it cancerous?

No, no, no. But, you know, like, I didn't like where it was on my face. I literally think it's just people that are stuck in a hospital, bored, and they want the attention. So they want everyone messaging them so that they can then reply. Oh, are you okay? Are you okay? Like, now I can pass my time.

Oh, my God. Now I can pass my time. Let me get into it. Yeah. So you were just set for, you've got a bunged shoulder pass my time. Oh my God, now I can pass my time. Let me get into it. Yeah. So you were just at, you've got a bunged shoulder at the moment. I've got a bunged shoulder, so I'm going to get a, like a,

I had an x-ray, so I'm getting an ultrasound. No, I'm not going to know the sex of the baby. Okay. I don't want to know the gender. You want it to be a surprise on the day. Yeah, I want it to be a surprise. I love that.

Yeah. An ultrasound. Do you know what's funny? As we were talking about ultrasounds, then Shannon was like, God, I hope it's not internal. And every woman in the studio was like,, God, I hope it's not internal. And every woman in the studio was like,

oh God, yeah, they're the worst. I was like, internal? It's the best way to look at your reproductive system is like through an internal rod. And then when they talk to you, they're like lubing up the thing, talking to you, so we're just going to do it. And you're like, oh my God.

Wow. But I don't think they'll put an internal ultrasound up your bum. Not for his shoulder. That's in the wrong location. Unless, that's the long way. That's the long way. I want to take the scenic route to have a little look on the journey.

Yep. Oh God. But yeah, honestly, a PSA really, don't hospital bait. No, this is a PSA. Fletch just wants everyone to know that he's fine, but he's just going through some stuff at the moment. Yeah, don't want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. I'm just, um, I'm really going through it at the moment, guys. But I'm fine.

I'll be okay. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. With Vaughan away, we are in charge of his chosen theme of the week, cat celebrations. Now, he talked about a parade in Stuttgart. In Europe somewhere.

Europe somewhere. And yesterday we talked about the New York Cat Film Festival. Yes. Today I want to talk about the biggest cat convention for cat enthusiasts in the world. Now you've heard of Comic Con. Yeah. Which is all your comic books and your marvels and all that kind of stuff. There is a Cat Con, which is a ginormous event

that happens every year in Pasadena. The people that would go to this thing, like you can just imagine, what, you would go? What? 100% I'd go to this. Is it just like a cat show? It is huge. Okay, so we've just missed it.

It was three weeks ago in Pasadena. Pasadena? Pasadena. Pasadena. See you next year Pasadena. Pasadena. See you next year. Dates and venue to be announced for 2025. But it was absolutely huge. There's meet and greets with celebrity like Instagram cats. Oh, get out. Like your

Yeah So you get your pass, you pay Now one of the parts of CatCon that I really like Is they get some firefighters in Because firefighters save cats from trees And these firefighters are sexy And they get the firefighters in there to talk about Saving cats from trees

And they're the ones who take their shirts off. So I've found why you want to go to CatCon. I want to go to CatCon. Yeah. If you go to catconworldwide.com, there's a list of things you need to bring to CatCon to get the most out of your day. There's games.

One of the games is called the kitten game. Don't look at this kitten. If you look at the kitten, you lose. And the kitten's cute. It's really sweet. There's like things about rescue cats. There's exhibitors showing off cats, merchandise, toys for cats. There's workshops with experts in cat health and culture.

There's nutrition workshops. How much are you paying to go to this cat con? It's about 100 US dollars. What? But there's also tons of surprises. And is it lots of cats? Lots of cats. Okay, good.

But this is the main thing. Oh, there's firefighters are Australian. The heroes of the Australian firefighters calendar. What? And they flew them to a cat con. Yeah. How did that go down? Yeah, and they got us. How did that go down?

Hooligans Now I haven't used that word for a while But this is what I'd call them That's also a sign you're getting old Hooligans Hooligans Some hooligans have made the news because they went out to the fountain

outside the Whanganui District Council and they filled it up with dishwashing liquid and they filmed the whole thing. They filmed the whole thing at the self-serve checkout buying, I think they had like six bottles of sunlight. Like the soapy, suddy stuff. The soapy stuff.

Yeah, man. Also, not only that, the very first like still of the TikTok is the person's, it looks like an ASB card and it's their whole account number.

And the code. It's in full visibility. Yeah, dude. Like, if you're gonna do a crime, like at least hide your bank card. No, if you're gonna do a a crime, like, at least hide your bank card.

No, if you're going to do a crime, that's one thing. If you're going to film it and put it online for thousands to see. Under your username. Under your username, and we can see your whole number and your little security code. It's not a ram raid, but I'm sure it's still annoying for the Whanganui District Council. Oh, I know.

Growing up, like, because New Plymouth, we used to have a fountain in town. Yeah. And Nelson, when I lived in Nelson, there was a fountain when you're just driving behind the Trafalgar Centre, and that always at the weekends got filled with soaps. People used to do, not so much the Bucket Fountain, because as a Wellingtonian, we have respect for that fountain.

Oh, no, I've... People do do it. The last time I was in Wellington, I walked past early in the morning and someone had soaked it. Yeah, but further down on Dixon Street is that little pigeon fountain thing.

People used to fill it up all the time. All the time. It's a classic move. It's a classic prank. It's a classic prank. It's always uni students. Always.

It's always school or uni students. Yeah, and so these guys were filming the whole thing, they edited it together and then they were like, when you, the caption is

when you and the bro have an idea and make the news. Because our very own Herald, the Huanganui part of it, said, bubble trouble,

foamy fiasco is Prankster's target water feature. They went for a double pun headline. Bubble trouble. Oh, that's not a pun, a bubble trouble, but it's a rhyme.

No, yeah, rhyming. And then fiasco. Foamy, we've got alliteration. A foamy fiasco with alliteration there. It's beautiful. Yeah. Really well written.

The creme de la creme of journalists. I love this. Anyway, they love that they made the news and we want to know why did you make the news? Maybe it was doing

something silly like this or naughty. Yep. Or maybe you broke down and your car broke down. Oh my God, I saw someone yesterday.

And they only just made it off the Harbour Bridge. We were going over the Harbour Bridge and he was going so slowly. And I was like, what's happening there? And then on the way down, he kind of picked up speed. I was like, he's coasting and then had his hazards on. And then it was like slowing, slowing, slowing, just got off the bridge and pulled over to the side. Because you get a fine if you run out of... Yeah, because it's like reckless driving if you run out of gas.

Because you know that you don't have gas. Exactly, yeah. Especially on the Harbour Bridge. They ticket you all the time for that. Because the congestion it causes. And this was like lunchtime. Maybe you broke down somewhere and then you're the reason like 5 o'clock traffic was backed up for three hours. Totally.

Or maybe it was like this crazy event that you got caught up in. I want to know, how did you end up making the news? 0800 dial ZM is the number. You can text in 9696. We won't judge you either. No, absolutely not. Even if it's super embarrassing. Yeah.

You can keep it anonymous. Yeah, man poops his pants on bus. If that's you, you can call up. Yeah, we won't laugh at that at all. 0800 dial ZM. We want to know why you made the news. Yeah. Some kids $100,000. We want to know why you made the news. Yeah. Some kids in Whanganui.

I never know whether to say Whanganui or Whanganui. It's like the local district. Well, there's the H now. I know, but then the locals pronounce it Whanganui. I don't know. That's why I always say. I'll just let you do it, and then if anyone's cancelled, it's you. Whanganui District Council fountain got filled up with bubbles,

and the people that did it went on the news. Some crazy stories. Someone messaged in, my partner was lost in the snow for over 24 hours. And lived. Well, I assume so. Well, because if you were lost in the snow for over... Oh, no, yeah, you would have found...

Oh, I don't know. I assume so. Well, Emily, why did you make the news? So it wasn't me. It was actually my best friend. Oh, yeah? And he was on Police 10-7. Okay.

Hey! Yeah. Wow. Okay. Bye, Mum. And this is his favourite thing to show people. And the video's actually, like, all those TikTok and that, like, from YouTube. Yeah.

So what happened was he was with his friends and they were driving around and quite frankly, it was not the best car. It wasn't a good car. He's driving around and then he gets pulled over by his police. And he was like, what the heck? Anyway, the cops come out and they go, so we heard that you guys have been scoping out people's houses. And they were like, we're looking for our friend's phone in the gutter. And they were like,

oh, you said apparently, oh, we better get out of here. And he was like, no. What? No, we didn't. Anyway, next minute, the cop goes, what's that in the boot?

I can hear something. They open the boot. His cousin's in there. Oh, no. It was a full tray of eggs. We're still not sure why the eggs were in there. It was a full tray of eggs. We're still not sure why the eggs were in there. There was a whole tray of eggs. They were egging people, weren't they?

No, they weren't. That's the thing. They were literally looking for their friend's phone. Going home for an omelette. Were their omelettes planned or no? No. He doesn't know how the eggs got in there. Anyway, when he tells us about this at work the next day,

he was like, oh, you know, this happened. Anyway, so a few weeks later, he's on Police 107. He goes, I am absolutely fuming. And we're like, why? And he's like, they blurred my face and changed my name to Patrick. I wanted my face out. He wanted the Police 107 fame. He said it there.

Oh, my God. He's got, like, a huge beard, so we knew it was him. Like, we knew him. We knew it was him. He's got a massive blonde beard. Wow. There was no hiding. Too big.

No hiding. Emily. Oh, my God. Emily, what a yarn. Thank you. Hazel, it wasn't Police 10-7, but you did make the news. Yes. Thank you. Hazel, it wasn't Police 10-7, but you did make the news. Yes, when I was about nine, my mum took me to the first screening

of the very first Harry Potter movie in New Zealand at the IMAX. Oh, wow. Yeah. Did you stay awake for it all? Yes, I was very excited. Okay. And they obviously had film crews there.

And were you specifically on the news? Yes, so they were just asking like certain people as they came out, like, oh, what do you think of the movie and what was your favourite part? And what did you say?

I think I panicked and I was just like, oh, when Hagrid gave Dudley a tail even though it wasn't true. I don't know why I laughed. Oh my God. You know,

I was a little nervous and just lie for no reason. Yeah, yes. And then mum, you know, as soon as it came on she was like, right, we've got to record it. So she got out

like a VCR and taped it. And then she would show it to everyone in the family. Yep, pull the tabs so you can't tape over it anymore. Oh, that's so cute. She was so proud. I don't know what happened to it though. If it was TV instead, it'll be in the archives somewhere forever. It will be.

It'll be Wellington in the archives. Thanks for your call, Hazel. Some messages in. When did you make the news? I closed State Highway 1 for several hours when I lost consciousness and crashed my car. I had to be helicoptered out. That made the newspaper. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. That's so full on. I made the news when Christchurch Airport had a bomb threat and everyone had to get evacuated. Oh, it was your bag. No, it wasn't their bag. They just were interviewing people, asking what had happened. My brother-in-law had his car catch on fire on the Southern Motorway in Auckland on Easter weekend

a few years ago. That motorway. Could you imagine the filthy looks you'd be getting from everyone? Southern Motorway, Auckland, Easter weekend. Disaster. In the early 2000s, I was at a Melbourne cup and I made it on the news in New Zealand for drunk people at the cup.

My mum saw me. Oh no. Not me, but my family. As my grandfather was Murdered in 1980 And then his trial was covered by the The newspaper Goodness Oh my god

Juicy This is a real Array of stories here So many stories We'll get to more of those next Why did you make the news? Okay, we want to know why you made the news And we've got so many messages in

Where to even start? We made Police 10-7 as well a couple of years ago when in Dunedin we were firing fireworks down the street towards police. I wasn't the culprit but we got some screen time.

I got on the news because my next door neighbour burnt his house down in 1996. He was a police officer and made up some elaborate story ended up being a massive inquiry and he was convicted. All because he wanted to get out of his marriage. His wife told the news

that she hoped he got syphilis and died. I'm just reading these raw by the way. Wow, wow, wow. A truck flipped on its side into my lane right in front of me at 100 kilometres an hour and I ended up hitting the roof of the truck. I was taken to hospital in an ambulance. All my friends found out by seeing my very distinctive car on the news.

Motorway was closed for three hours. Oh, wow. I lost 60 kgs and then had a meet and greet with Lionel Richie. And a woman's magazine made it out like I'd lost the weight to marry him. I love this. I can't read that but that is interesting and I'll share it with the group I was on the news because our school building collapsed, oh my god

but when me and my dad did an interview on the news his long lost son who he thought was dead saw he was still alive and we all got reconnected. What the hell is that text?

So the dad's long lost son believed the dad was dead. Who told the long lost son that? The mum. The mum I guess. She's like you don't want to be associated with him. He's dead.

Then he sees him pop up on the news with another kid and then they all reconnected. You've saved a lot of Father's Day gifts here though, haven't you, for a while? And now all of a sudden, now you're going to have to buy Father's Day gifts. Yeah. Okay. A lot of people commenting on the H in Whanganui.

Like white. It's there but you don't say it. My brother made the news due to a trapeze accident many years ago when he flew off and landed in the audience and a pram with the suitcase that had jumbo the elephant. What is happening? What is happening? My brother made the news due to a trapeze accident many years

when he flew off and landed in the audience and a pram with the suitcase that had a jumbo elephant in it. What the hell? Bizarre. We also have a cousin who made the news when her little girl, same text, when her little girl at the time presented Prince William with things about marriage.

Okay. Right. Oh, no. There's so many because a lot of people on Police 107 doing naughty things. I was in the newspaper about 25 years ago because we had a huge house party in Albany, Auckland and trashed the house.

Hashtag so proud. Someone was on Campbell Live several times regarding fighting the EQC and insurance about the Christchurch earthquakes. Oh, yeah. And there is a bit of an expert. Yeah, right. My friends and I made the Christchurch earthquakes. Oh, yeah. And there is a bit of an expert. Yeah, right. My friends and I made the national Vietnamese news last year.

Does that count? We rented motorbikes and rode along a car or truck only highway, but we didn't realise until our Airbnb host messaged us saying he recognised us in the news. People had filmed us and the news claimed police had spoken to us, which was actually wild. They hadn't. Oh my God. Imagine you just going about your holiday and

you're on the news and you don't know it. Oh my God. I was kidnapped at knife point. Armed offenders came. It was in the Herald and on the news on the TV. Police dogs got them good. Holy. Oh my God. A picture of me. How? We need more information 292. A picture of me was on the news on the TV. Police dogs got him good. Holy! Oh my god. A picture of me How? We need more information

292. A picture of me was on the front page of the national newspaper in Costa Rica in 1993. No other information. What? Just like walking down the street with like a stock image or something. Yeah. I don't know. We're going to need a follow up to that one. Was it an accident

with my mum when I was 13 and ended up in the Waikato River in their car? Was on the news that night being carried by a police officer to the ambulance. Brackets embarrassing. And then on the cover of the Waikato Times the next day. Oh, you would have got a couple of copies, eh? The photographer specifically asked us to look off sadly

into the distance. Oh, my God, there's so many. Hey, you're looking a bit happy after that rescue. Could you just look a bit sad? Oh my God, I was on the news in Australia as I was a hostage in an armed hostage situation at a casino. Very traumatic, but I was still like,
