Thanks, Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Thanks, Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Two minutes past six. Good morning. Good morning. Hello, good morning. Somebody's weekend's catching up with them, isn't it?

I just, I was all right. I had a really good sleep. I had a lovely night. And I just woke up this morning, I was like, I'm in bad mood. I'm in a bad mood. It's okay, it's gone now. It was just, I'm in bad mood. I'm in bad mood. It's okay, it's gone now. It was just like a wave. Oh, like a wave of bad mood? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's back. I'm back to my usual

cheery self. Cheery, happy, happy self. The top six on the way. Sex robots. Oh, yeah. They are a thing, and an unniable aspect of our future that we must address.

But I think some people prefer to call them companion robots. I think they need a bit more like blush in the cheek. Do you know what I mean? Their face is

disconcerting. Like it's like that sort of. Yeah. I don't know. They're not quite there with the face. Okay.

They're not there with the face. That's my big back. Haley Sproul. I just think they're not there with the face. Everything else she's on board with, just not there with the face. Not there with big sprout. I just think they're not there with the face. Everything else she's on board with, just not there with the face.

Not there with the face. And a few more sort of like wrinkles and pores and rosacea. Well, reading a bit more about these robots, I've got the top six things I'd do with a companion robot that's not having sex with it. Okay. Probably that would be so bored hanging out with Vaughn. I know, that's already

very much so. Hello Vaughn, what shall we do today? Don't say anything next because you'll probably spoil one of the six things that I've worked tirelessly on. Well, it's coming up in the top six. Next on the show. What is the most confiscated item at the airports? Yeah, the thing that people leave in their suitcase.

You know when they're like, do you have any electronic batteries in your suitcase? You're like, no, no, no, no, just again. This surprised me because I think that these are a relatively new thing. I'll tell you what it is next. Play ZM's Flashborn and Hayley. Here are some things that were confiscated from planes in the airport security last year. From people's bags.

From people's check-in bags. A chemical oxygen escape device. A laser cut. Wait, a what? A chemical oxygen. Which can be used to provide oxygen in emergency situations. What? No idea.

In planes, the oxygen that you get when you pull the mask down is a chemical reaction that gives you oxygen. Right. Not a big oxygen tank. And is that because it would explode in your suitcase? Okay, right. A laser-cut fiberglass knuckle duster, a one-meter sword made from bone,

a paintball gun. That rules. I'd like to see a photo of the one-meter sword made of bone. Yeah, me too. And a pack of novelty ice cubes shaped like bullets. Right. Okay. Not great things.

Okay, so when we check our bag in domestically, they're scanning all of them. Yeah. Right, for batteries mostly. Batteries mostly. So one of the things that's been one of the most confiscated items as of last year, battery-powered hair straighteners. Oh, no.

Which are like, they're more and more popular. I think like GHD, like they can get expensive ones but you can also get real cheap ones. I'm sure Kmart has one that's like 30 bucks. Of course they do. But of course it makes sense. If that got knocked and had the battery inside of it

and then it got all hot and then it would mount all your things and catch on fire. And then the plane crashes and it's your fault because you left your hair straightener in. Because you've got frizzy hair and you wanted it to be smooth. You wouldn't think about that because when you're checking in you either get the screen or the person at the check-in's like, do you have any battery packs? And you're like, no.

Or you have it in your carry-on. Yeah. But you wouldn't think about your hair straightener. When are they scanning them? Wait, so you'd be allowed a hair straightener if you carried it on? Yeah, like a battery pack. And it had the battery removed, right? scanning them. Wait, so you'd be allowed a hair straightener if you carried it on? Yeah, like a battery pack. And it had the battery removed, right? Well, the battery in it. The battery has to be with you in the cabin. Yeah.

Yes. Because then if it catches fire, they can put it out. Whereas if it catches fire in the cargo hold, you're rolling the dice and you get to the ground in time. And it's a pressure thing as well, right? Yeah. The battery thing, I never understand the battery thing though, because I travelled, you know my my um guitar yeah because i'm a rock and roller and i'm pretty yeah you're rock and roll the guitar that has batteries in it like it can plug in but it also has batteries yeah but

are they lithium i don't know what is it no how would i know it's got to be because the thing is lithium d cell batteries in it c cells a double a, double A's. Double A's. Okay, they're fine. That's right. They can go in there. It's the rechargeable live-in batteries in like phones and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The lithium ion, right? The double A's had to be in the keytar,

and I took them all out and had them loose in a little sack in the check-in, in my carry-on, sorry. And they were like, no, they can't be loose. They're going to be in the package or in the device. And they confiscated like 30 batteries. I had one of those big like logs of batteries. It is weird you just have like 30 loose batteries. Yeah, they'll be like, what are you trying to do?

But I was like, I'm doing a show. I need to have like backup batteries. Yeah. So they said it had to be in the device. Oh yeah. And then you could check it in. No. No. Had to carry it on still. Okay, so even those batteries. No batteries. That's weird. But you know your personal massages?

Yeah. I don't own a personal massage. I've got a massage gun. Yeah, me too. But it's not masquerading as something else. But they charge the chargeable. Oh, mine is. Oh, is it? Mine is. Yeah, I take a thrashing.

He likes it really strong. I like it real rough. But those go it up. I'll put those in my check-in. Yeah. And they have rechargeable batteries in them. Yeah. Are you not allowed to? Are they supposed to be in your carry-on?

I don't think so. I don't know. Because I would have thought that's a lithium battery. Yeah, I would have thought that would have been a carry-on situation. But then I've been with you in the security line when you've been pulled up for having one of your massages in your bag. But in my carry-on.

But that was okay. And they were like, that's fine. They were very good about it. But sometimes it's in the check-in. Man, you'd be absolutely gutted if you had an expensive hair straightener and you didn't even think about that. Not as gutted as you'd be

if you were going on holiday and you got there and your personal massager had been confiscated and you were like, I'm here for three weeks. I would like to see the pile of... What am I supposed to do? Oh, yeah. The pile of confiscated...

Because do you think that like some people, if you had a GHD hair straightener, how much would those be, the rechargeable or the cordless? So the cordless one is $525. You'd be, can you go back to the airport and say, hey, look, it was in my suitcase. You've confiscated it. Can I get it?

So when I was on the Seven Days Tour and Di Henwood got there and his suitcase had a tag on it saying that something had been removed and it was his Apple AirPods and it was in his thing. And then so he got in touch with them and was like, okay, sorry about that.

How do I get them back? They're like, no, they get destroyed. What? Yeah. They just don't want to deal with all the people like him. They're such a waste. They're in a white case. Which ones are yours?

Yes, they're going to stick around them. No, they just absolutely bin them. Oh, no, that's wasteful. I mean, if they were AirPods, though. You'd take them home, right? You'd take them home. You'd take them home. Oh, yeah.

No, because then they've still got the tracky thing you'd be able to see. Yeah, I'd peel that off. I'd peel it off. I don't think it's a sticker, mate. I would take them home. No, because then they've still got the tracky thing you'd be able to see. Yeah, I'd peel that off. I'd peel it off. I don't think it's a sticker, mate. I don't think it's a sticker. Peel off sticker. It's inside.

Run it over a really strong magnet, give it the old reset. Yeah, a hard reset. Put all of your batteries in your carry-on. In your carry-on. Otherwise, you're not seeing those ever again. Yeah. Play ZM's, Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. I mentioned,

what did I mention last week? I come up with a little motivational mantra. Or was it on the podcast? I can't remember. We talk a lot. We talk a lot.

So much so. At the end of the day when Aaron, I go home and he says, what did you talk about today? I couldn't tell you, bro. Why don't you go on the iHeartRadio app,

my bro? We'll likely talk about 5 different things this hour We do this for 3 hours There's 15 different things We do that 5 times a week And then while the songs are playing We also talk So then that's personal stuff

75 different things a week Add in 7 more podcasts Yeah With a different topic on each We're talking 82 different things a week And then just add an aging memory. Yeah. And a genuine friendship. Yeah.

We'll talk about a whole lot more. I'd round it up to 90 odd things a week. And I just struggle to listen in general. That's wild, right? So I can't remember when I talked about it, but I know I did talk about my little self-motivational encouragement to do pull-ups at the gym. I say, go Spider-Man, and then I jump up and grab the bars.

That's right. And then pretend like pretty much like Spider-Man could do this. I do remember talking about this last week, and we said like what do you do to like motivate yourself? Yeah, because a few people were messaging it. Yeah, hype yourself up. How do you hype yourself? Well, yesterday when I was at the gym

and I was walking towards the place where I do the pull-ups, a guy like nodded his head at me and nod nodded my head and he looked like he wanted to talk so I flipped it because I wear overhead headphones to the gym. So sweaty. So sweaty. I always thought it was gross but so much better. No. No, you lent them to me once when I forgot my headphones to the gym

and it's wet in the air. It's a moist experience. Yeah, it's a moist experience. In the winter you've really got to put them in the hot water cupboard to get them to have a good time. ear. It's a waste. It's a waste. It's a moist experience. Yeah, it's a moist experience. In the winter, you've really got to put them in the hot water cupboard to get them to have a good... Okay, that's not good. To dry out.

Just wear in-ears like everybody else. No, I'm not wearing in-ears. They fall out of my ears, and I don't like them. You've got them in the ear holes. I don't like something rammed in the ear hole. I'm not a huge fan. You need a bigger...

They've all got different sizes you can put on. Don't try to convince me this is a good idea. Okay, okay. I'm an over-ears guy. Okay. So I push back the over-ears and he said to me, go get him Spider-Man. Oh, yeah.

He was listening. Made my day. Oh, no, I would have been embarrassed. Made my day. Oh, that's so lovely. I was like, I will. And then I did. What did you say to yourself?

Spider-Man. Go Spider-Man. Every time. Before you jump for the bars. Spider-Man. Go Spider-Man. Every time. Before you jump for the bars. Spider-Man. That's so weird. It's really sweet. I like it.

I reckon it tickled him. And I reckon he probably uses it now himself. He might. You know? There's no reason why a grown man can't compare himself to Spider-Man when needing to reach that next level. After he Go Spider-Manned you, did you feel... I felt double Spiderman'd.

Strong, yeah. I felt super strong. Empowered. Yeah. I needed a bit of ghost Spiderman yesterday. I did the lamest workout. I mean, I was distracted, but I can't get into that.

We talked about, it was about this time last week about Hayley saw a hot guy at the gym. It wasn't, no, you misconstrued the purpose of my conversation i saw a very strong person at the gym right okay and i was inspired by him physically all right okay and was he videoing himself and you so you knew he did this sort of thing on social media and you were like i

must find him i must find him i must see his body i must no i must see his physical transformation how he achieves the physique maybe Maybe he's got some training tips. He needs to get some tips. Well, anyway, I was there at the gym yesterday. I'm giving him the old. Hayley was right next to him and it was quite funny to watch. Yeah. I think you were quite distracted.

Yeah. What were you doing when you needed a bit of Ghost Spider-Man? Because maybe you need your own. I was tired yesterday and I was just doing some upper body, but I was, I just, yeah. Even watching this physical Adonis, this god of sorts, it didn't give even me the energy to have a better workout.

I had a lame workout. It's weird. You've never gone back to the women's gym, have you? I have not returned. I have not and shall not return. Play. ZM. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

It may seem like we're being dramatic about this, but the three of us went out for a little food before an interview we had yesterday. I took my own because somebody messaged me saying, you're quiet on the texture of the cutlery. I said, I carried my own plate and spoon from here because I'm a cheap ass. And I took my own porridge and banana from here. And bowl. I'm a cheap ass. And I took my own porridge and banana from here.

So I didn't get to experience the cutlery. Yeah. Vaughan quite often joins us at another cafe having a coffee with a bowl of oats. We're doing full like $30 brunch and he's there with his oats and his nana. Good for you. And good for you. But it was, it was just so weird. And we were like, okay, this is bleh.

It was skinny and texture. And it just made us both go, yuck. Yeah, we put up a story on Instagram asking you what textures give you the yuck or you just can't stand, make you go, bleh. Brooke, what is the texture? Hi, welcome to the conversation. Welcome. What is the texture that you just hate?

I can't touch paper. That's a problem. Any paper? touch paper. That's a problem. Any paper? Any paper. Literally, I'm just thinking about it. My skin is crawling, my hairs are crawling, and I sometimes will start gagging depending on what type of paper. Wow.

You must love the transition to the digital world. Yep. How do you go about avoiding paper? Toilet paper? You don't even start the toilet paper issues. No, what do you go about avoiding paper? Toilet paper? You don't even start the toilet paper issues. No, what do you do? What do you do for toilet paper? She's got a bidet.

I just don't think about it. You don't wipe. You don't wipe. Just walking around all day with a real itchy dry wipe. Minimal wipe. Minimal wipe. So you just don't think about it. You just get in there, you have a wipe,

and you put it in the toilet. You never read a magazine, a book or a newspaper? I have, but it really just depends. Like 99% of the time, like if I even see someone, someone just handed me a straw right now, a paper one, and I'm gagging on just looking at that. Wow, Brooke!

How long has this been a thing for you? It wasn't until I can remember and it's torture because at Christmas time I have to wrap everyone's presents so it takes a long time. And opening presents, people like to put paper in boxes to annoy me more. Oh, my God. You'd order stuff online and they'd pack it with newsprint around the side. Have you ever thought?

And I literally have to get people to clean up that stuff after me. Even yesterday, we got a new microwave, and I had to wait for the wife to come home to unbox and rip the box apart because I can't do cardboard either. Wait, have you ever thought about getting and I'm not suggesting you do this, but have you ever considered getting like some exposure therapy or

looking into it? Yeah, I have actually. I asked the doctor and he thought I was crazy and I was like, no, I don't need that type of help. And then he handed you his referral letter and you were like, no, I don't need that type of help. And then he handed you his referral letter and you were like, eugh. Yeah, pretty much.

Take this to reception. Don't commit me on paper. Email it. Here's a prescription. Eugh. On it. Wow, wow. Wow, that's really intense, Brooke.

Yeah, thank you for sharing, Brooke. Some messages. Good luck out there in a paper world. Good luck. Yeah, good luck. And the installation of your bidet. Exactly. Thank you, guys.

No worries. Some messages in. Pumice. I can still feel and picture my nana scrubbing my feet with it in the bath as a kid. Nanas loved pumice. Nanas loved pumice. I love pumice. It's weird seeing a floating rock.

I don't like it. I'm a big fan. Nah. It's my first favourite rock, I think. And then the ones that are hollow that you hide your keys in. Oh, fake rock. It's not a rock. Pumice rock.

It's not a rock. It's got a note on it. Cooked peas is another texture. And we asked on Instagram too. Shannon said oysters. Chloe said matte plates. The sound of cutlery on them is yucky if they don't have a glaze, if it's a matte plate.

Is that what the glaze is? It causes a plate to go eh? Yeah. If it's matte. Yeah. I feel like the glaze, I've got quite cheap Yeah. If it's matte? Yeah. Oh. I feel like the glaze, I've got quite cheap plates.

Not chipped, but cheap. And I feel- I don't have chipped or cheap plates anymore. I know. I know. I'm so proud of you. Surely by now you've got a chipped plate. Surely by now,

no chips. Okay, wow. No chips, got a good quality plate. Proud of you. Heavy and too big for the dishwasher and boy am I constantly hearing about that. Hearing about that. But my,

the glaze, I reckon because we use the dishwasher like about that. But my, the glaze, I reckon, because we use the dishwasher like every single day, I think the glaze is coming off. It's getting a bit squeaky. And I don't know what to do about it. I hate that too. You got to change plates. Yeah, new plates.

See, mushrooms and those coarse abrasive rough packaging of lotions. I'm not sure I know what they mean. Say that again. The coarse slash abrasive slash rough packaging of lotions I don't know I can't even picture what that is A lotion packaging What's a lotion packaging?

I'm really sorry Coarse abrasive lotion packaging Okay weird Frankie says crunchy bread Crunchy bread Crunch toast Does she mean toast? Yeah I think she means toast.

Or like when you have a sourdough or something. And it's really hard. And it's really crusty. Pull on it. Tracy said polystyrene. Yeah, yeah. Can't stand touching it. Yeah.

Or listening to other people touch it. Imagine rubbing it down some glass though. Glue. Like when kids used to peel glue off their hands once it had dried. Liv said that makes me feel sick I'm standing on a wooden decking in my bare feet I can't handle the

I can't handle the wood they had a splinter from a yeah oh yeah that's somebody who's not caring for their decking yeah that is

give that thing a clean give it a new stain don't deck shame them moisturise that deck don't prioritise their deck maintenance Arnie said cornflower what did he say

that's a she. Oh God, that's worse. Yeah, that's got worse. That's regressed. A-A-R-I-N-I. Oh, okay. Chocolate mousse. I hate that shit in my mouth.

No. Imagine a life without chocolate mousse. A big mousse show. Acrylic wool. So is that like fake wool? I used to have a visceral reaction to it when I worked in retail. Tralee said jelly makes

me feel sick. I love jelly. Stilo. The added benefit is it gets me out of doing the dishes because I can't touch the Goldilocks or the spongy wound up steel wire. I can see why. It's yuck. And it actually has those tiny little fibres in it too and sometimes they get into your hands and you're like. Yeah, it is yuck. I can see why. It's yuck. And it actually has those tiny little fibres in it too

and sometimes they get into your hands and you're like... Yeah, those steelos do. Yeah, the steelos do and they kind of break away. You can feel that stuff that's coating them as well. Yes, yes. Is that a soapy sort of situation? Is it because metal shouldn't be curly? Metal shouldn't be curly.

I'm a big believer in metal being straight. Me too. No, you're no curly metal. I'm not curly metal. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. From the notes app

on Vaughan's phone, this is the top six. Hello there. Real Robotics, a US company, has revealed the next step in intimacy companionship. Through robots.

Aria. No, this is one of those... What was that movie where they... Lars and the Real Girl? Yeah. Or her. It was her. No, because her was only like an Alexa.

Lars and the Real Girl was just a doll. That was Ryan Gosling. This is like both of those movies combined. Yeah, people were all falling in love with them. But there just a doll. That was Ryan Gosling. This is like both of those movies combined. Yeah, people were falling in love with them. But there's a robot. Yeah. And also chuck in seminal classic Robin Williams film also starring Sam Neill, Bicentennial Man.

Bicentennial Man. Heart-breaking film. The future is here. But they reckon that in rest homes, not these kind of robots, not intimacy robots, but there will be robots that, like, care for you. Oh, and there's even the fake dogs and cats

already available in rest homes. Oh, my God. And it's real sad because it's people with, you know. If you've got family in a rest home, go and bloody see them. Or get them a robot. I'll be there the whole time. I'd get them a robot.

Just get them a robot. I mean, if it makes them happy. Aria is a life-size companionship robot for sale for $175,000 US. Oh, my God. She greeted visitors to the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas, circling her plinth, uttering AI-generated bon mots, slightly out of sync with her paternally plump lips. Yuck. I'm sorry. If youally plump lips. Oh, yuck.

I'm sorry. If you have that much money. I'll say the words once. It's a sex robot. Yeah. Today's top six. I know. If you've got that much money, like, go seek some.

Yeah. Anyway, there's websites. You could literally pay a real human. Yeah, you literally could. I mean, they don't love you. A very high end. You could pay. Yeah.

Anyway. No, they don't love you. Yeah, you're paying them. could pay, yeah, anyway. No, they don't love you. Yeah, you're paying them. They get mouthy after some time. Yeah, yeah, I know. Ari's not going to do that to me. She might. She gets more intelligent.

Uh-oh. Top six things I do with companion robot that's not companionship. Wank, wank, nudge, nudge. Number six on the list. Make it watch me play Fortnite with the boys on a Friday night and tell me I'm doing a really good job. Wow, Vaughn.

You are so good at this. Not nag you at all. Should just sit there. I'm buying $175,000. I'm not opting for the nagging add-on. Hey, Siri, turn off nag mode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Number five on the list of the top six things I'd do with a companion robot

that's not companionship. Wait, wait. Nudge, nudge. Tell a really boring story about something that happened at high school for the fifth time and have them act like it's the first time they've heard it. Oh, God. Because when I was on the dragon boating team, she's like, yeah, God, you really peaked in high school. Wow. Tell me. I didn't peak

in high school. No. That's why I'm telling the story. I'm yet to peak. It's mostly lies. Yeah. You hang in there. Yeah, thank you. I know I can feel it. That peak's on its way. Thank you. Yeah.

Any day now. Number four on the list of the top six things I'd do with a companion ship robot that's not companionship, if you know what I mean. Take it for a drive without it gasping and screaming

and slamming imaginary brakes and holding things in my hand. God, there's a car! This just sounds like a bit of therapy, actually. That'd be nice, actually. To be honest. It's good.

It just talks calmly and it doesn't, actually. That'd be nice, actually. To be honest. And it just talks calmly and it doesn't do that. Yeah, none of that. Absolutely none of that. The minute it did, I'd take it back and it'd be like, I paid a fortune for this.

Yeah. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six things I'd do with a companionship robot that's not wink, wink, nudge, nudge companionship. Show it how to stack

a dishwasher correctly and have it agree with me that that's a fantastic technique. I felt that one was coming. Yeah. wink, wink, nudge, nudge companionship. Show it how to stack a dishwasher correctly and have it agree with me that that's a fantastic technique. I felt that one was coming. Yeah. You're right, actually. Pots should be washed by hands and sharp knives

can probably be washed by hand as well. Maybe if someone didn't purchase these giant plates that don't fit in the dishwasher. Well, no, the giant plates fit perfectly in the dishwasher. It's just a matter of putting the glasses

in the right place on the next one. Right, right. He's figured it all out. He's figured it out. And everything comes out clean, but it's weird because you're not rinsing it before you put it in anyway. The robot wouldn't argue with me. Number two on the list of the top six things I'd do with a companionship

robot that's not wink, wink, nudge, nudge, naked companionship. Sleep beside it without it snoring and then in the morning compliment on its quiet breathing. Brilliant. I'd imagine that's when you charge it overnight. Imagine if you forgot to plug in your robot. Oh, you wake up in the morning,

you're like, good morning. And it's like, nothing. Or it's on 9%. You've got to put it into a power saving, battery saving mode. Minimum conversation, yeah. And number one on the list of the top six things I'd do with a companionship robot

that's not, you know, companionship. I'd not clean its hair out of the shower plug because it doesn't shower. It's stacked neatly in the dishwasher when it needs to be cleaned. Oh, you'd give it a shower. You'd give it a little rinse. I would give it a shower. I'd put it in the dishwasher because I've done the dishwasher, stacked the dishwasher so well there's heaps of room for the companionship robot. I'd give it a wet wipe.

Yeah, wet wipe. With an anti-back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anti-back. Anti-back, wet wipe. Yeah, yeah. 100%. Yeah, fair call. But again, no hair in the shower that you've got to clean out even though you're a bald man and there's absolutely no way you contributed to any of that hairball that's blocking the shower's free flow of water down to the septic tank. But anyway, whatever.

That's today's stuff. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. This is huge news for a Māori-owned Kiwi company, Awa, who do the period undies, they have sold to a ginormous American company called Somedays. Now, Somedays went viral. They're all about sustainable period products as well. They went viral because they started that trend

where men put on the period pain simulators. Remember, have you seen these online? Yes, I do remember those. Remember the shock things? You're like, This is as scientifically close to a period pain that they can get. And they're the ones that started that kind of whole trend and made that go viral.

Now, we don't have a number, but it's a big company. And Awa has sold to them, basically, to continue. They'll still continue, but be owned by a very, very big company. What's the company called? Some Days.

Some Days. Some Days, yeah. Okay, our story. Yep, okay. Yeah. This company. What are you doing? I'm trying to find out how much their work, what would I.

Company worth? Worth. Because we talked to, I mean, this was a couple of years back, right? Michelle Wilson, who was one of the founders of Awa. Yes. About their whole... I remember that. ...copupper of the business.

And they're still going to be involved, I think, the two... It's the dream, right? Selling the company but staying on as like consultant or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they pay you a wage to work at the company that you started and they just paid you for the whole company? Yeah. They're staying on as minority shareholders.

it, happy to report 18% going strong. Good stuff. Which is good. Hell yeah. When you take out of the fact, you know, if people did set them in 18%, yeah, it's good. If I was somewhat more of a statistician, I could tell you how much. Yeah, but you're not. 18% of the room. Is it statistician?

Statistician. Yeah, it's a statistician. Yeah, it's a statistician. I thought it was a statistician. No, they're the people that come around and wire up your house for new power. Oh, right. They come in the van. God, I've got that wrong, haven't I? Yeah.

Rest on your laurels for the rest of the year. Nothing else to do. Cruisy Susie. Shai said, going strong. Mind where to eat more pasta and to compliment people more

instead of just thinking, wow, that was a nice smile or your dress is cute. I've actually decided to vocalise it. So, yes. Hayley does this a lot. I do it all the time.

Yeah. And some people don't know what to... I wanted to tell you to compliment. Did you see the other day when we were having a coffee after the show, did you see the arms on the woman outside? Yeah. Oh, my God, I did. I was going to be like, hey, because I can't.

No. It's creepy. I'm like, hey, I just got to say those arms are really something rocking. I was going to say, Hayley, compliment that woman on the arms. And it would have creepy when I'm like, hey, I just got to say those arms are really something rocking. I was going to say, Hayley, compliment that woman for her arms. And it would have been great if Hayley had said, hey, my male colleague here thinks you've got amazing... Hey, my friend, this guy here.

Hey, Vaughn, look over here. Yeah, him. He reckons you've got jacked arms and he wanted me to say nice arms. But some people, when you just give them a compliment about their dress or their look, they just don't know what to do.

They're like, excuse me? They get a fright, but it makes their day. It does make their day. It does make their day. What was the other one? Eat more pasta. Eat more pasta. Great resolution. Cheesy pasta though,

like cheesy pasta. If pasta ain't cheesy, I ain't eating it. Yeah, that should have rhymed. I know, if pasta ain't cheesy, Hayley no be pleasing.

Yeah, there we go, there we go. Is that our first calendar quote for the year? Actually, yeah, that's for the 2026 calendar. If the pasta ain't cheesy, Hayley Noby pleasy. Great English. Strong start.

Vicky said, complete failure. My resolution was to go out more since coming out last year. Nice. I signed up for two mix and mingle nights but chickened out both times. Oh, yeah. She needs a... Do you need a pillar of the lesbian community to wingman you?

Are you going to go to some gay and lesbian events? I'll go to some gay and lesbian events. Is it a wingman? It's a wingman. Yeah. Wait, you're offering to go out. You don't like going out. Oh, no.

But if it's for the gay community. But if there's lesbians there. Oh, right. Okay, so you'll go out if there are lesbians. Vicky and Vaughn, that's the double V. And surprisingly enough, that's also the name of the festival we're going to. Double V. Pleasy me. Put that at the bottom of the cheesy.

No. I decided I would swear less. What a silly, delusional bitch, said Emma. Emma. What's your language? I never set resolutions, but this year decided to go for a 2025 bingo card and got really enthused about that.

It's nearly February and I still haven't made it, so maybe we'll try again in 2026. Okay. Is that like a things that will happen this year to me? Maybe. And then you kind of can make them happen if they're positive. Rebecca said, mine was go to bed earlier. Well, last night I was up till 2.30am doing a puzzle.

I don't even like puzzles. Why did I do that to myself? Once you start, you just kind of get hooked. Yeah. You've got to prioritize sleep. A jet ski messaged in. Yeah. That's their username.

Jet ski. No profile picture and just jet ski. No name. Okay. Last year I ran every day and got on a streak and just kept going. This year I've decided longer, harder runs but allowing rest days too. Going great. Yeah, great. Good on, harder runs, but allowing rest days too. Going great. Yeah, great.

Good on you, Jet Ski. Really good Jet Ski. Primarily you only see them in the water or on a trailer. Yeah, you do. The ones out there running. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Very sad. Of course, Liam Payne died last year.

In very sad circumstances. And the One Direction community were shooketh. Apparently there are rumours that for the Brit Awards that are coming up that the remaining members, oh that was a terrible way of describing One Direction, the remaining four, the remaining four

those who have survived may be reuniting for a special tribute to Liam Payne for the Brit Awards. So he passed away in October. God, that's gone so fast. In an awful accident.

So the Brits are the 2nd of March, I believe. Okay. And there's just lots of chat around because obviously they'll do some kind of tribute. What are you playing us? Do you reckon they'll play this? Yeah, probably. Probably.

There's, yeah, there's a lot of chat about the fact that the tribute might be a performance from before. Story of his life. Or just like a medley. Yeah, probably. And there'll be a video montage.

Like an ABBA medley. And everybody will be crying. No, Grease medley. Grease medley. The Grease Megamix. It'll be like, yeah. It'll be like, this feels inappropriate for a Liam Payne tribute. There will be a dry eye in the house.

No, there won't be. I mean. Who's saying, where are these rumours coming from? Well, because. The rumour mill. I think it's just from the mill. Not the rumour mill. And you can tell the rumour mill, it's the thing beside the river and it's got a spinny wheel on it.

That's an old rumour mill. There's no, you know, a source close to a friend that's close to a guy that walked past someone once who heard someone chatting about it. But I think that they know that with the Brit Awards coming,

it's the first one since... Did they win heaps of Brit Awards? Yeah, back in the day. Yeah, okay. Yeah, for sure. And individually. Right. I mean, Harry would have dominated,

but individually they've won some. So this is the first kind of big, like, Brit music thing. So there's got to be something. There's going to be something. And I think everyone's just going, this would be the most appropriate thing, is if they reunited and did the Grease mega medley. But then do you think they'd be too sad to do that?

It'd be awful. It'd be horrible. It's not like a... It'd be horrendous. Reminds me of the time that, this is a little bit of a throwback, but when Celine Dion's husband died and then she had to sing all by myself. And you're like, that sucks. Yeah.

She sang all by myself? Yeah. She did a little cover that sucks. Yeah. She sang all by myself? Yeah. She did a little cover of her. God. I know. Miserable. Awful.

I was just trying to think of an upbeat Celine Dion song but I don't know if she really has. All coming back, all coming back. Yeah, she's more into the ballads.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah, but you know, why would you do an upbeat cover on the back of something? because it's a bit miserable.

Imagine these guys coming out and doing some big pop. What was their big? What's their big? That's what makes you beautiful. Yeah, that wouldn't be the right tone. Well, I guess we'll find out in March when the Brit Awards are happening. I have a question. I mean, this is just a little, can I make a sidebar, but it's adjacent too.

With the awards ceremonies, with the LA Fires, is there any kind of delay with the... It never got down into Hollywood, eh, the LA Fires? No, so I don't think so. A lot of them did lose homes. I think they'll have some tributes as well. But yeah, maybe, yeah. I think there'll be lots of in the speeches. Maybe fundraisers and that kind of thing. Yeah, fundraisers. Yeah, yeah. Give a little.

Pledge me's. People still doing that. Anyway, March 2nd is the Brit Awards, so yeah yeah I guess watch the space to see if One Direction reunite play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley

we're world crossing out of the producers booth for a check in with producer Shannon who doesn't have a hack doesn't have a hack no hacks

no hack today no hacks but was telling us about her dinner last night which was also her dinner the night before and the night before and the night before and and the night before,

and then where am I stopping? Has it been a full week or eight? Yeah, I've done a week, but then I've also had it like maybe three or four times a week over summer. Oh, I can't. But I'm on a streak now. I have to have a bit of variation. Variety is the spice of life.

Yeah. I'll change the spices at least or the something, you know. I've been doing barbecues every day, but they're different. Yeah. So what is the food that you're having every night? Well, I'm having the same meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But for dinner, I'm having one chicken breast stuffed with some stuff. Sorry.

What are you putting in the chicken breast? Stuffed with some stuff. Some pesto, some salami, and a little bit of cheese. Yum. Yum. And that's it. Exactly, every day. That's it.

And then you air fryer that. 20 minutes in the air fryer. Jesus. Delish. What, are you like a leather handbag, dear? Yeah, you're good. You can just chew chewing gum if you want. You're powderizing it.

No, it's perfect. Really? That's a long time in an air fryer. No, it's fine. I suppose if you're cutting out the middle and putting moisture in. Lidding it down the middle, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I have. Which sounds delicious. Yeah.

Thank you. But every night? Yes. You're not getting sick of that same meal? No, it's yum. Yeah, but. It is nice to get to a place where. Are there vegetables? This is a good question. Pesto. Pesto's got basil in it. Pesto's predominantly a leaf and some oil.

No, it's cheese. And some nuts. This is the key. I have the same meal every day. I wake up before work, have eggs, then I have yogurt at work, have a big chicken salad for lunch. Okay, so this is great. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you're getting a little tiny bit of plant and salad at lunchtime. And then just one piece of meat for dinner. Yeah. Okay. And then back up for eggs the next morning. This is great. And you could just eat this on repeat every night. You've got no issue with this.

My plan is to get to a month. Because every time I go to the supermarket, I need more chicken, more yogurt, more eggs. It's so easy. I don't know why I find this so hard. Because we eat, I think all three of us mostly, I vary sometimes, but eat the same breakfast every single day. Oh, yeah. It's easy, I know. I don't think breakfast counts.

But dinner, I'm like, that's going to be different. It's weird how breakfast doesn't count. Yeah, I know. It'd be weird if you're like, I've had the same dinner for all of my working life. I think that would be my dad. Always cornflakes. Oh, yeah, same.

But imagine putting it on dinner and being like, I have the same dinner every night. You'd be like, what? That's weird. Shannon does. I think because I don't have a freezer, that's also a reason. Not having an ability to freeze meat or anything. Yeah, so you've got to really think about it.

So I just have one chicken breast, and that lasts two days in the fridge, so it's just buy a chicken, eat a chicken. Someone said they did this, and then there was a couple of other things, and then they got diagnosed with autism. Yes. No, this is a convenience. I know what's happening and I'm, you know, I know how many calories is in it.

I can just know my day is correct. I know I'm getting, because I eat 150 grams of protein a day. I know I can hit that with this meal. Okay. You're getting jacked over there. I mean, look at me. You get jacked 150 grams of protein. This is a show.

We're all getting jacked. Okay, I think we need to ask this question now. 0800 DARS at M9696. Do you eat the same thing

over and over and over again? Because remember Victoria Beckham does this. She's eaten the same thing for like 20 years. It's like fish and vegetables. I don't think

we count breakfast. Someone send a recipe, please. There's no recipe, bruh. You just heard the recipe. You get a breast, you cut it open, you put salami, cheese and pesto in it,

you shut it, you put it in the air fryer for 20 minutes. That is a recipe. That's Shannon's recipe. If we're going to put it online, we're going to put some really long-winded story before it. My mother was growing up in the south of Italy. Or some story about chickens or the origins of pesto. Yes, yes, yes.

It made me scroll down nine pages. At the top, there's a jump to recipe button, but it's real small and you miss it because you start scrolling looking for the recipe. Well, we want to take your calls. 0800-DARLES-AT-M-9696. You eat the same thing over and over. Gym bras do this.

So I think we'll take lunches. That's the worst thing about meal prep, prepping for the week and you're going to have the same thing every night. Same thing over and over. Gym bras do this. So I think it will take lunches. Oh, that's the worst thing about meal prep. Prepping for the week and you're going to have the same thing every night. I know the calories and stuff, but Christ, we've got to live. I know, we've got to live. Lunch and dinner. Yeah, lunch and dinner.

I don't think we count breakfast because people do the same breakfast over and over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0800 DARS at M. Give us a call now. Text through 9696. Do you just eat the same meal over and over and over? Bonus points if it's really simple like Shannon's. Bonus points if it's been going for longer than a year. Also, bonus points if it's just the same takeaway

every night as well. Yum. Yum. Yum. And they know you. It's easy. Oh, yeah, they know you. You don't even have to order.

Hello, Hayley. Oh, my God, that top text, Vaughn. We want to know, because Shannon has been eating a chicken breast, cut open, I'll say flayed, with pesto, salami and cheese for about two weeks and she has no sign of stopping. No, this is dinner now, going forward. This is what Shannon eats, full stop. The exact same thing, every night.

And do you know what? Two weeks is nothing. Yeah. It's nothing. No, compared to this. Someone messaged in, every night. And do you know what? Two weeks is nothing. Yeah. It's nothing. No. Compared to this, someone messaged in, my mother owns a fish and chip shop

and there is a man. Oh, have we got them? We're trying. Oh, we're going to try them. Okay, I'll shut up. I'll shut my mouth. I'll shut my mouth. Oh, here they are.

Mario. Good morning. How you going? Good, mate. Good. Good. So my mother's got a fish and chip shop

in Moronsville, so Thornton town. Oh, Kelda. I did not expect, Mario, I did not expect a man with such an exotic and exciting son of a name as Mario to have the home base of Morrinsville, to be honest. Yeah, well, that's the way it goes. You and me, mate. It's a pretty diverse place, Morrinsville, you know that. It is.

It's very white. United Nations there. Yeah, very're a pretty diverse place, Lawrence. Well, you know that. It is. It's very white. It's one of the United Nations there. Yeah, very much so. So anyway, there's one guy, Mum always tells the story, and I always said she must be exaggerating it. And she said it's like she shows you, like she can show you the evidence of it. He comes in every night for five nights a week.

I don't know what he does on the weekends, but five days during the week he has two sausages and whatever the wedges are worth, a serving of wedges, and he has it five nights a week and I said, and mum's had the burger bar for about 25 years or something now.

And for 10 years he's had it, had the exact same thing for 10 years. Saucy and wedges. So in those sausages would be deep fried, right? Deep fried sausages, deep fried. There's not a lot of grilling going on it's just everything's deep fried how's the cholesterol of this man well you'd have to think well he's still he's still coming in so i guess i guess he's okay what age fella are we talking um he's well i think he's retired now so he's been coming in for a while, but he's retired.

And I said to Mum, the day he doesn't come in, maybe you've got him. What? She needs to check on him. Oh, my God, that's incredible. Mario. Every day. Every day, wedges and two sausages. Yeah, and it's never changed. Like, Mum's even joked with him, oh, would you like, we've got a special on tonight.

No. And he doesn't say much. No. And he buys the same thing and it carries on. Do you reckon he takes it home and then adds that to vegetables? Well, that's what

I've always said to mum. I said, you'd want to hope he goes home and puts some peas on the side or something. If you class tomato sauce as vegetables,

then maybe he does. Yeah, maybe. I just did a little bit of math there. If it's 10 years, five times a week, that's 2,600-ish serves of double sausages and wedges.

Yeah, there you go. That is insane. So he's eaten 5,200 sausages. Is that math right? 5,200 sausages in 10 years. Mario, thank you. Thomas, you've had the same meal straight for how many years? Three years now, actually.

Wow. Okay. What are we doing? So for breakfast, yeah, I just do standard, like, scrambled eggs and that. Yum. For lunch, I have spaghetti bolognese. Oh, okay. Every day.

Every day. Wait, do you bulk make a spag bol at the start of the week, or what's your process there? So I cook up in bulk and make like four days' worth of food. Okay. And the noodles on day four, is the spaghetti a bit congealed? Yeah, congealed and a bit, ugh. Oh, it's still fine, you know.

Okay. So spag bol bowls for lunch. We haven't even hit dinner yet. What are you having for dinner? Dinner's just, it's like chicken, rice and vegetables. Are you a Jimbra, Thomas? Are you a Jimbra? Yeah, trying to bulk up over here.

Oh, you're nice. Okay. Do you know what? Get bored. Like, at the end of the day, you're like, I don't feel like

chicken and rice and vegetables. I just love food too much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like the variety. Wait,

do you do a Taco Tuesday, Thomas? Yeah. Thomas. We've been doing nachos as a group. I mean, I could,

but it requires a bit more thinking, you know? Do you know what? That's a really common thread of people who message in. It's just easy.

Somebody else said, been eating the same thing for years. Wet bricks for breakfast, two tins of tuna and apple and a banana during the day, and a 400-gram chicken breast for dinner with some bagged coleslaw. It's just so much easier, life, that is, when you're not spending half your time after work thinking of and then cooking elaborate dinners. Please tell me they're putting something with that coleslaw. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like lots of mayo or something. What about on the weekends? Do you blow out on the weekends a bit? No, not really. I'm a shift worker, so the weekends is just a normal day for me. Right. Is there cheese on the spag bol?

Sometimes. Parmesan. Yeah, maybe. Not a lot, though. He's not dousing it in cheese. Okay. Parmesan. Thomas, I mean, I admire your commitment and good luck on the bulk, but it's Tuesday.

Try Taco Tuesday next Tuesday. I know we're springing this on you today, but maybe next Tuesday, Thomas, you could do Taco Tuesday and report back on Wednesday. It's a possibility. He doesn't want to. He's been nice. He's resistant. He might have said, yeah, maybe, and no follow through at all.

Wow. Okay, well, you're setting your ways, Thomas. I admire it. Answer messages in. We will not be hearing from Thomas next Wednesday. I know, I really thought we'd hear from Thomas. For the past three years, I've made the same chickpea salad for lunches every day of the week. I got to last week and all of a sudden I was like, man, I'm sick of this.

That must be a day. Yeah. You're just like, like oh I hate this now chickpeas very good for you my mum's messaged me on whatsapp mum's love of whatsapp what did the fish and chips man

do during covid Jesus get Mario back on the blower message Mario we need to find out Mario back on the blower it's a good question maybe his own sausages

he would have been yeah maybe just got a big pack of hellers home wedges and some McCain's wedges and was like this is what I have, maybe he just got a big pack of Heller's. Home wedges. McCain's wedges. And he put a massive pot of oil on the stove and never turned it off. Yeah. He just kept it going for those months.

I ate lamb chops, spinach and potato for dinner every night for a year when I was at university. That's actually quite good for a uni meal. You know what that slaps of? What? Someone got home-killed lamb chops. They came from a farm and they moved to the city and mum's worried so they packed them up a home. Because who can afford lamb chops?

Mario rejoins the show. Mario. Sorry to keep you, Mario. Sorry to pester you again, but what did the man do during COVID? Well, mum shut down during COVID, as everyone had to. So I'm not a, yeah.

So I don't know what he would have done. But when Mum saw him again, Mum said, how did you get on? And he was just like, well, I stocked up at the supermarket on sausages. Yes, we did. He DIYs. Maria, I feel like we've taken so much of your time.

We at very least need to give your mum's burger bar in Morrinsville a shout out. Which one is it? JJ's. Oh, it's JJ's Burger Bar! It's fine. It's in Morrinsville. It's a Morrinsville a shout out. Which one is it? JJ's. Oh, it's JJ's burger bar. It's fine. It's in Morrinsville. It's a Morrinsville institution.

We should put this two sausages and a scoop of wedges on the menu there at JJ's. Name it after. Do we know this guy's name? Like his first name? Oh, let's not. Yeah, I can't think of it off the top of my head. But mum, yeah. Mum would be sweet.

Yes, mum knows his name. They've never really had much of a conversation. He just comes in and orders it. That's the best part. Imagine he's going to come in one day and then she's put a new thing up and it's a combo and it's called the Muzzle Special. Yeah, the trip special. Yeah. Thanks.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Great trend I'm loving on TikTok at the moment which is

drop a pin until you find XYZ drop a pin until you find a person drop a pin until you find what was the one you said, Vaughan, rubbish. I saw one in New Zealand.

It was a, I think she was American and she was playing with New Zealand. And what you do is you go on Google Maps and you either drop a pin or you get the little guy to go to Street View and you shovel it over the country and you drop a pin until you find something.

And her one was, drop a pin drop a pin until you find something. And her one was drop a pin in New Zealand until you find something ugly. And she was going, and then dropped it, zoomed in, it was like beautiful vista, and then dropped it, mountain ranges,

and then dropped it, beaches. She was like, oh my God, this place. This is great for our tourism. Great for us. Great marketing.

And then I watched it. I know it was really great marketing And then I watched another video Of a Kiwi chick who was like There's like so many ugly places in New Zealand Then dropped it and was like No beautiful Beautiful

She was like oh my god Was like trying to drop it So I'm going to try I'm going to say I'm going to try to drop a pin Until I find something ugly in New Zealand It's a very beautiful country See you know.

No, I'm not even looking. Oh, you're not. Okay, so I was going to say, because if you're looking, that's cheating. And I won't. You tell me to stop. I'm over the islands. Because you'll just drop it on Morrinsville. Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me, sir. Excuse you. Sir. We just heard from another. I've just been. Get Mario back on the phone for an apology. I thought you were going to jump on my side here. And if you drop the pin on Mario's...

I showed you what JJ's Burger Bar looks like from the outside. It's exactly what I imagined. It's absolutely exquisitely perfect. It's always looked like that. I personally believe it should be listed as a historical building and never change. Okay, look, I'm going up and down the islands. You tell me when to stop and we'll see if we can find something ugly. Stop.

Okay, dropped a pin. Where did it drop? Oh, we're in Wellington on the waterfront on a good day. Oh, that's beautiful. That's beautiful. Of course Google Maps got that on a good day. I love that. Google Maps knew that I was playing this game.

Okay, here we go again, right? I'm going to find an ugly one. Very visual, this game. I know, I know. I'm just going to... And stop. Okay. Oh.

Oh, my guy got drunk and he went nowhere. Okay, here he is. It's got to be where a street is if you're dragging the guy onto Google Maps. Where is Koputarua? No idea. I've got no idea. Yeah, I landed on an ugly street. Oh, no.

Show me. Look at it. Well, what town is it in? It's a train track. It's actually kind of beautiful. That's kind of cool. It looks like a Wes Anderson movie. How ugly? It's a train track. It's actually kind of beautiful. That's kind of cool. It looks like a Wes Anderson movie.

It does. It's like train tracks in the front. It's kind of train tracks, train track, double rack train tracks. I don't want a plane fence and then a little shed. I don't want to offend the people of Koputarwa, but one, I don't even know where you are, and two, it's an ugly, rusty train track. It does look like a Wes Anderson shot, that one. I love this game.

I'll try one more. I'm going to go. This is a really fun game. If you are on employee time, if you're on employer time. Oh, you don't do this on private time. No, no, no. Get paid to do this.

Well, after you've taken your poo, which you take at work because then you've been paid to poo and that's a life hack. Okay. Come back and play this game where you flick a mouse around on Google Street and you try to find Ugly New Zealand

because even that, you thought that was ugly. I thought that was cool. And the good thing is management see where you're trying to find ugly New Zealand because even that, you thought that was ugly. I thought that was cool. And the good thing is management see where you're like using your time on your computer. It's just Google Maps.

That's part of your job. Yeah, look at my finger like my mouse, like I'm busy, I'm busy. To know where your clients are, yeah, in a frantic hand movement they're like, wow, that mouse really

covered some kilometres today. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Oh, I'm down in the South Island. Oh, you're not going to, you're not going to find anything ugly there. It's ugly as. Where is this? Oh no, that is. Dunedin anything ugly there. It's ugly as. Where is this?

Oh, no, that is. Dunedin Otago. I'm in Ruskin Terrace. Yeah, but look at that. We've got unweeded hack on the corner here. That's toxic. Nice try, buddy. There's some kind of auto electricians over here.

That looks awful. This fence is made of three different wood panes. But I feel if you took a couple of steps in a different way, you might get like a cool view of a historic building. Of course. I'm in Dunedin. There's a lovely park over the road. Well, there's a lovely park.

Anyway, it is a fun game to play. Really fun game. Drop a pin until you find and then just decide what you want to find. Yeah. Have you ever seen the people that will be randomly sent a Google Street View and then they spend a few minutes working out exactly where the world is and it's just insane

how good they are at it. They don't know even what country. They just know a lot about things. They'll be like, okay, so it's got snowfall, so it must be within this level and this level. I'm looking at this road and I can tell you that road marking is American. So now we're only in America.

And now I'm looking at a street sign. I can tell you that color of that is this state. And they do some minor Googling. And then they'll be like, okay, I can see a restaurant here and it looks like it's called this. But then just Google the restaurant name. That sometimes they can do it. But people send them things without the restaurant name. It might just be the corner of the restaurant or something.

So it's like a test. They try to like use. They're detectives, yeah. Wow. Google Street Detect name. It might just be the corner of the restaurant or something. So it's like a test. They try to like use. They're detectives, yeah. Wow. Google Street Detectives. So cool. See, that would be a fun hobby. I will say.

Geoguessr. Yeah, Geoguessr. Right. I will say, cost of living very high at the moment, and we all have desires to travel. This is a great budget-friendly hack, actually, as a way to travel. Because now I'm in Papua New Guinea, and I haven't spent a dollar. I'm actually getting paid to be in Papua New Guinea. Right.

And nothing against the beautiful Papua New Guinea. Beautiful looking spot. Yeah. Significantly less dangerous to look at it on Google Street View. Yeah, I feel safe. I feel good. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Right now, we want to know what is the career that you would never date again?

The profession. The profession that you would never date again. Because maybe one person put you off. I reckon a lawyer would be hard to date. Like one of the ones that structures arguments for a job. Oh you bought because they'd just run circles around you. Just run roarrings around you. Yeah. Police investigator.

Like that'd be terrible. So there's a divorce lawyer and she has revealed the top five professions that women should avoid in a husband based on her divorce rates, basically. Right. Like the complaints she gets from wives. I mean, she's running some good stats.

She's got some basic numbers to pull from. Here are the five that she notes to avoid. And I'm, for the first one in particular, I'm not standing by this, fireman. That's hot. What about the fireman, though? The God complex, she says? The God complex she says The God complex?

Yeah in this professional I'm saving lives I'm very important I'm doing this I feel like Kiwis are more down to earth I want to thank you I think it is American

Wild for her to publish this After the LA wildfires When everyone's looking at these people Oh yeah Heroes Well they are aren't they? They save us But also a very stressful job Yeah Also i had i was what podcast was it listening to about

firefighters die so much earlier than everybody else because they're exposed to like yeah the cancer rate for firefighters is through the roof so actually quite a lot of the i'm just reading these very similar this is the same thing she notes. Okay, we've got fireman, police officer, military, surgeon, and pilot. And she describes all of them as being like their positions of respect and rank. Like police officers, this is American, she said, you're walking around with a gun. You know what it is? You've got authority.

They don't have to try hard to get people. People just come to them. Yeah, yeah, totally. Not criminals, they run away from them. Unless you're a criminal. But yeah, surgeons, you're like the top dog of the hospital here.

Like it's rich as well. All of these, some of these would have a bit of money too. Have a bit of money. Military, it's all about rank and respect. She's saying marry

a fragile baiter. Well, you would have accepted that, yeah. Dominant alpha. Basically. Yeah, what do you want to be married to? Yeah, yeah, pilots. They're in control. Like, yeah, yeah. Pilots, they're in control.

Like, I've got the plane, I've got the marriage. I've got the plane. And also all those hot flight attendants overnight in a hotel in Bali. She's literally describing, other than surgeons, because they have to wear silly little scrubs like pyjamas in the workplace, but all of these have hot uniforms. Military police, firemen, and pilot. Are you kidding me? Scrubs? Yeah. When you see

on the show, the doctors wear scrubs. Scrubs are sexy. I think scrubs are sexy. Do you know scrubs can be sexy? Silly paper pyjamas. Okay, right. Yeah, embarrassing paper pyjamas. Interesting. I mean, the shade of green or blue that they are is not doing anybody any favours. No, no, no. If they were a sexy black. Yeah.

Who could hold you back? So, but I mean, you know, I've talked about this DJ who stood me up. I would never date another DJ. You know, one and done. He broke your heart. I reckon if you're over 25

you probably shouldn't. How embarrassing is it if at 35 I start dating a DJ? You know, he's picking me up at 7am. No, bro. How old's he?

Yeah, I don't know. I'm sure, I mean, hopefully. Okay, well, we want to know from you this morning. 0800 DALS at M, text 9696. Is there a profession that you won't date?

Because maybe you were put off in a past relationship or several. You know, I said I was listening to a podcast and they talked about firefighters getting cancer and stuff earlier. Someone said, Vaughan, that was your own podcast. You had those firefighters in and they told you that. Wait, are you serious? Because I wasn't listening to that podcast. I was partaking in that podcast. Wait, you weren't listening to another

podcast. No, I think I also heard it in another podcast. I do remember the firefighters when they were in for the calendar saying that. It's hard to keep up with our podcasts. You know what I mean? They're just all on the go. Vaughan doesn't know if he's in a podcast or he's listening to it. That's the sign of a great podcast. This is currently a radio show but soon it will be a podcast or he's listening to it. Oh, listening to a podcast. That's the sign of a great podcast. This is currently a radio show, but soon it will be a podcast.

It's crazy. 0800-DARLS-IT-M-9696. What is the profession that you will never date again? God, people are absolutely coming for the military, I'll tell you what. In New Zealand. We want to know the profession that you would never date again. A divorce lawyer has her top five. It was police, firemen, military.

Surgeons. Surgeons. And pilots. And pilots. All mostly because of an ego or like a bit of a God complex thing. Right. I know people in the armed forces and they've said the relationships that work are the ones with other people in the armed forces because they are there and they understand.

Yeah. They're both probably real bags. I've worked with the military quite a bit in my years of travelling around the world with tattoos. Yeah. Yeah. North Korea extensively. Extensively the North Korea. Oh, the North Koreans were the worst of the lot.

I'm just saying a lot of naughty behaviour. A lot, predominantly. We asked this on the gram and we got some responses. Physicists. I've dated two physicists. How do you date two physicists? How do you even find a physicist? This is physicist day.

P-H-Y-S-I-C-I-S-T. Physicists. Yeah, you don't think they mean physiotherapists? Not physiotherapists. I mean, physicists exist, but I haven't come across one. Physiist. Yeah, you don't think they mean physiotherapist? Not physiotherapist. I mean, physicists exist, but I haven't come across one. Physiotherapists are a dime a dance, but physicists, hard to find. Dated two, then had to block a third one after two dates. He was way too intense.

Wait, a third physicist? How do you even find three physicists? She dated all of New Zealand's physicists. Maybe she's a physicist herself. And she's in the physicist community. And she's got a physicist fantasy. Oh, yeah, that's her kink. Physicist.

Okay. Kelsey said, anybody involved in any sort of professional sport? Oh, yeah. And then two emojis. One's the tipsy face and one's the upside down smile. Okay, we're definitely going to need to know which all blank you dated. Yeah. Anonymous.

Look, it's an anonymous message. Anonymous, what profession have you been put off dating? I refuse to date a Tyler. Oh, but until you need a Renault and then you'll come crawling back, I bet. Yeah. Oh, hell no. Okay. Why no to Tylers?

My ex was a Tyler for two out of our three years of our relationship and he was just dirty. Disg disgustingly dirty. They are filthy. He had grout in his hair, all sorts of different dust and paste in that. Paste, dust. And their little Tyler truck, that's always covered in some sort of plaster, isn't it? Yeah. And that thing, they used to stir it in the bucket.

They'd ever clean that. Everything's just chucked out. And then when they're done, they just find the part of your property that's kind of no one sees and they pour it all out there. A bit of a dump spot. So Tyler's an absolute no-go. What if someone so hot came up to you

and was like, hey, anonymous, like, you're the love of my life. Would you break your own rule? No. I'd look down at his hands and he'd be covered in paste. I'm good.

What about like another trade, like a painter or a plasterer? I'm currently dating an engineer, and I think that's where I draw the line. Okay, yeah, right. Also, she doesn't want to date a Tyler because they're dirty. She's going to date a plasterer? The dirtiest of all the trades? Yeah, I know.

Well, I think somebody messaged in about a plasterer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the dirty one. Yeah, not the only one. Though someone did just message in anonymous and say, well, my husband's a Tyler. Your guy sounds filthy. Might have just been a dirty boy. Might have been a dirty boy.

Yeah. Kate messaged on Instagram saying, don't date pilots ever, full stop, ever. Yeah, but what about the staff travel? You get cheap flights everywhere. Baker said, Finn, when I dated a baker, I got too fat from all the yummy treats they bought home. Yeah, but that's like a good version of sucking.

You know what I mean? Gemma wants to win on DJs. DJs, dot, dot, dot, just, dot, dot, dot. No. No, hon. Tanifa. Not interested in your fresh mix. Shut up.

Seven o'clock in the morning. Do you know what I mean? Calm down. Calm down, bro. Shush. Why are those giant speakers in our lounge with a permanent deck behind them? That's an ugly aesthetic. Wait for the drop.

Wait for the drop. Yeah. Nah, bro. Oh, you've put a sheet over it to protect it from dust. Yeah. That looks great. No. Cool.

Tani Fah says, police have dated a couple. No, no. Scaffolder, says Kate. Giant red flag if they're a scaffolder. Why? All scaffolders? I don't know. I don't know.

It's pretty cool watching them get all the poles up. Yeah, get all the poles up. It's like a Lego Technic set. Yeah, it is. It's amazing. Just around your house. Yeah. I don't know why, if you could let us know why,

or anybody got any insight on why no to scaffolders. Our chefs. So many people said chefs. We had a lot of messages. Yeah. So many people said chefs. We had a lot of messages. So many people said chefs. I was married to a pilot. Never again. He cheated on me with the cabin crew and once told me that bonding with

the crew was important to build trust in case of an in-flight emergency. Lol. Head in the clouds. I'm not cheating. I'm building trust. I'm building trust. Because building trust because if the plane goes down I need to trust these women

they need to know that I have a penis yeah it's a win what that's a win you know because of the emergency slide

no none of this is making sense what are you doing god there's so many I would never date anybody who's professionally unemployed that's quite an expensive

person to date it is yes any female involved with any aspect of the equestrian anybody who's professionally unemployed, that's quite an expensive person to date. It is, yes. Any female involved with any aspect of the equestrian. Oh, wow. Good on a horsey girl. Someone's come for horse girls. Personal trainers, a lot of people have said personal trainers

because the body's hot. Yeah. But they're dirty dogs. Dirty dogs. Not all of them, not all of them. And then people like Hayley go to the gym and just perv at them all day. Yeah. Yeah. But I, if some,

if, you know, people perv at my boyfriend, I'm always like, hell yeah. Yeah. It's mine, baby. But not everybody's like you. Yeah, true. I would say very few people are. I would say one thing, I'm many things but jealous is not one of them. No. Yeah. Um, IT, anyone in the IT department, from my experience

and I've worked in IT for 16 years, all cheaters. Really? Man, I'm sorry. I just said that out loud. And someone in IT is just like, what? Oh, no. My wife listens to this radio station. Oh, no.

I'm sorry that you're in trouble. Talk about egos. Don't date chefs. It's an ego thing. A lot of people, when they say the Korean, then they say ego. Right. The Air Force. Why are their egos so big when you can barely see them in their camouflage uniforms?

And they all sneak up on you at home. Where did you come from? Yeah. There's a plane in the backyard. Builders and the military. Wow. That's a big spectrum there. Yeah, yeah.

That's a big spectrum there. My wife is a firefighter and a police officer. I trust her 100%, but definitely has a mental slash, not physicists. Yeah. Physiological effect. She sees a lot of things most people don't. They don't and they do.

They see the worst of the worst. Yeah. I own a scaffolding company and the story is with 96% of our staff over the 10 years years we've owned it very dirty boys who knew scaffolders were that naughty scaffolders somebody's messaged in on behalf of truckies

saying fantastic not to hear us mentioned we are wonderful partners well the best thing about you are such wonderful partners a lot of you have two families yeah yeah yeah and producer Shannon said pleased to hear magicians are on the list. Well, the best thing we've asked, who would you not date again? Most people have magicians on the list.

Who would you not date? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day You know, it's goat week here at Fact of the Day We're learning a lot about goats You asked me yesterday about the fainting goats And I said I would try to find out the evolutionary purpose about the fainting goats. And I said I would try to find out the

evolutionary purpose of the fainting goat. No evolutionary purpose. Just silly. Genetic anomaly. And we get it too. So humans, the same thing that makes them lock up and fall over, humans get it too. There's these two... Caught anxiety disorder. No, it doesn't

manifest in us as the locking of the joints and the falling over, but there's two symptoms. It can give you a more muscular appearance, but it does mean after exercise you get stiff and your muscles take more to get moving in the first place. Oh, wow. Yeah, but no evolutionary purpose.

Just so silly. Tennessee Fainting Goats showed up in the 1800s, kind of were around for a while. Everyone on the purpose. Just so silly. Tennessee fainting goats showed up in the 1800s. Kind of were around for a while. Everyone on the internet found them so funny. Now there's a Tennessee fainting goat protection where they believe it is important, even though it is a genetic mutation, that they keep the breed alive so that they can continue to do it.

Oh, so it's not all goats? No, no, no, no, no, no, not at all. No, it's a genetic. It's a recessive genetic. Man, I've been screaming at your goats all the time. Every time I run into your house, I'm like, ah! And they don't like, no, it's a genetic. It's a recessive genetic. Man, I've been screaming at your goats all the time. Every time I run to your house, I'm like, and they don't lock. They just run away.

No, it's a recessive gene. So if you mix breed that goat with another goat, it also is very unlikely that it will have the locking knee and the faintingness. Well, thank you for that. Is that today's fact or that was a bonus? No, that's a bonus. And I will be offering bonus facts if anybody has any general goat questions

before I get into it. I don't know if we've got a long list of these. What you've learned about the eyes. I mean, it's Tuesday and I almost, it's sort of feeling we're at the end of it. We did, we did the eyes thing was amazing. They can see 330 degrees. It's only the line of their spine they can't see when they're standing there because of their rectangular pupils. I love looking down a spine.

You're looking down a spine? Yeah, I would just say I love Great view down the spine Of the Of the goat Of the goat Yeah Right The goat

They can't And it's the view The only view they can't see And they can't see They can't see the beautiful spine Wish I could see it Today's fact of the day Is about the scapegoat

Oh yeah Great You familiar with the scapegoat Yeah If you make someone a scapegoat You load them Maybe they've already left work You know

Maybe they've already left So if any problems happen You can load it onto them Well the origins of a scapegoat, you load them. Maybe they've already left work. Maybe they've already left. So if any problems happen, you can load it onto them. Well, the origins of the scapegoat, an actual goat. It was a symbolic burdening with the sins of the people onto a goat. You would come out and you would either, in this situation, whisper your sins to the goat. Hey, goat. Hey, goat. Hey, goat.

Go. I see that guy over there. I sleep with him. I sleep with him. And of course, we're not married. We're living in biblical times. A man should not be sleeping

with another man. Oh, okay. So you would offer it your sins or I stole. Yeah. Kind of like Catholic confession. Stole some bread. It was a Jewish tradition.

They would laden the goat with all of their sins and then set the goat out. Get out of here Catholic confession. Stole some bread. It was a Jewish tradition. They would laden the goat with all of their sins and then set the goat out. Get out of here, goat. And they'd set the goat free so the goat would take their sins and disappear into the wilderness. Right.

Not tell the goat. What is happening to the goat? Kind of like a goat fessional. Yeah, it is a goat fessional. A goat confessional. You would fesh up all your sins to the goat and then set the goat out and it would be the scapegoat.

It would carry away the bird as a sin so you could live without them. Where did this start? It's in ancient biblical times. It's referenced in the What Are You Laughing At? No, just in the background. I am listening and engaged, but I am watching Fading Goats. They're very funny. This one's got big balls in it.

Yeah, okay. You've been sidetracked. they're very funny this one's got big balls in it imagine if the fainting goat was also the scapegoat and you walked up to her and you're like I sleep with a man and I am a man and it falls over you're so shocked at your sins you shocked the scapegoat so much you locked its knees and it fell over it wasn't sacrificed it was just literally set free.

Burdened with the sins of the village. Run with these sins. And then yeah get out of here and that's probably what led to our other fact about how

there's those Judas goats where they are set free and it flushes out the other goats and then the other person And now you just wait until someone leaves the workplace

and then they're the scapegoat. They're the scapegoat. Oh my God. Who did that? Oh my God. They obviously didn't do the work before they left. What went so wrong?

They've been stealing reams of A4 paper for their own home personal printer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And parking, obnoxiously, where they shouldn't be parking. Yeah, it was car work. Or it's just worn all along. It was me all along.

And I'm not going to stop. We're going to find a new scapegoat. So today's fact of the day is the term scapegoat, where you load somebody up with blame. It was once upon a time an actual goat. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. When did we get our body pillows?

I feel like it's ages ago. Well over a year ago. When we were talking about it was the night we went to the Wiggles. Because remember we went to that Chinese restaurant? Before the Wiggles, right? The Wiggles and R18 concert was years ago. Yeah, and that was the night I ordered it because it was at dinner that I went on the Briscoe's website and ordered the body pillow.

I love my body pillow. Predominantly the business of a pregnant woman, but also the business of a man over 40 with a sore back. They're just nice. I mean, anytime I don't have a body pillow, but every now and then I'll get another pillow and I put it between my boobs

and legs, you know, like that, and you're like, oh, it's so nice. I know. It's so good. Even if someone else is in the bed, like, it's not just a single person thing. No, it's a barrier. It can be a barrier to me. Oh, God, no. What am I going to hug the person in my bed? And they move around. They're all bony and stuff. Especially in summer. This isn't a bony issue.

Especially in summer, you're not getting the heat from a body pillow. No, no. You're lucky if I, like, shake your hand goodnight. So it's been years and yesterday whilst making the bed was the first time I've noticed

it's got a zip on the outside and I was like, oh my God, I can take the cover off and wash it. I just assumed it was getting to the point

where it was going to get manky enough that I was like, I need a new body pillow. This is disgusting. You are supposed to replace your pillows every now and then.

Yeah, yeah. So according to sleep experts, you should replace your pillows every one to two years. Now, but what about body pillows? They lose their shape and support, impacting your sleep, and also it's the amount of grossness that they take in. Mine's time. I've been

waking up with a crook neck, and I thought my pillows were alright, but I reckon they're maybe like three years old. Have you been getting the targeted advertising for the pillow that's like all the different things? You can sleep with your arms under it. How ugly does that look on your bed? It's an ugly, ugly pillow. But I do want to try one of them pillow case for that. No, that's going in the wardrobe, eh?

And then you pull it out at night. Yep. Like I'm not putting that on my bed. Yeah, it's a hidden shame. Yeah, that is a hidden shame. Not after all the money you've spent on renovating and duvets. Yeah, this is a magazine house and that does not belong in there. It doesn't belong in that sort of magazine.

No. So I found the zip on it and I was like, if I unzip this, is it just going to be memory foam in it? I unzipped it, it's a whole pillow in there.

Yeah, I know. This is the outside. It's a protective cover. Most pillows come with a protective cover. It's a protective cover that you can also wash and that you should.

I washed mine the other day. It's fine. But a sard? Dude, man, I'm loving my Sard. How good is Sard, eh? I love Sard. Everyone's like,

Nibby's here, Nibby's here. Sard. What? Because it's the cheapest, right? Oh, no, I've got no idea. I don't know. I just had some Sard, used the Sard,

became immediately loyal to the death. Okay. I would march. I would march into an armed conflict for Sard. Would you? Brothers of Sard. If Sad were like okay guys, we're going to go join Ukraine

to fight Russia. We need some help. Saad army. You would enlist because you love Saad that much. I love Saad. Do you use, okay because we've got the spray. I mean imagine how clean the uniform is. I don't have the spray, I've got the powder. Dude, you've got to get the stick. I've had the stick. Now the stick's rubbish.

The spot stick. If you spill a little something, rub the sard stick on there. I've had the sard stick. We used to use them for marching uniforms. Rub it on there. Just delicious. Disappears. I need to get another sard stick. Okay.

So I've got the sard powder. I'm going to chop up today. Do you want me to grab you one? Yes, please. Okay. Do you want one, Fletch? No, I don't rate the stick. That sounds like Russia talking.

Wow. Brothers of Sard! I've used it on like, because sometimes if I cut my head shaving, I'll get a little bit of blood on my pillow. Oh yeah. And I used it on that and it didn't work. And so I just used bleach.

How long did you sleep on the blood stain before you did that? Because I got a big blood stain on my pillow and the powder's Sard. Oh yeah, yeah, right. Scrub it and make a little paste. Rub, rub, rub, rub, rub, rub. Leave it for a soak. By the way, we're not on big Sard. Rub, rub, rub, rub, rub, rub. Leave it for a soak. By the way, we're not on Big Saad.

Dude, I have not seen a dollar from Saad. I pay for my Saad. I pay for my Saad. Full price. Go to Saad Bar. Now, the Saad Bar. It's good for you. You, like, hike and travel and stuff.

Saad Bar. Saad Bar. Put it in a little Ziploc. You travel around with it. Wash your undies in the sink and stuff. You Saad Bar. Oh, yuck. Go to a laundromat.

Oh, my God, you've got to get Saad Bar. The powder, the stick, stuffy Saad bar. Ew, yuck. Go to a laundry mat. You've got to get Saad bar. The powder, the stick, the spray, the spray, the bar. We haven't even got to why you grossed us out.

Should we get Saad tattoos? Yes, we should. No, you were never going to get one, but if we're going to get one, we should get the Saad logo. I walked past a tattoo place over summer and I was like,

why haven't I got one? Just something stupid to kick it off. Something's landed in you. Saad. Saad. There you go. Why have you got a Saad tattoo? And I'll be like, I don't know, I love it. I something stupid to kick it off. Something's landed in you. Sard. Sard. There you go. Why have you got a Sard tattoo?

And I'll be like, I don't know, I love it. I'm loyal to Sard. I love the Sard. You wouldn't be the first person with a brand tattoo. Oh, hell no. Maybe the first person with a Sard. Can you get a Sard tattoo? Can we get a hot check if anyone's got a Sard tattoo?

Normally it's, you know, cool brands like Harley Davidson. Yeah, or Sard. Nope. They thought I meant cards. Oh, no. No, no, no. A deck of cards. No, you idiot., or Sard. No, they thought I meant cards. Oh, no. No, no, no. A deck of cards. No, you idiot.

I mean Sard. So I have been using Sard for like my gym gear. Yeah. Like after a few. They have an antibacterial additive. That's the vibe. The Sard. That's what I think kills the smell.

Sard's so good. So then I put the Sard. The stick's only $6.99. I mean, are you sure, Fletch? Are you sure I can't pick you up? I would like to donate $10 to Sard and then keep the stick. I don't want your stick. No, I'm sorry.

I won't have it. I'm getting you a stick. You need a stick. No, the sticks are rubbish. I've told you. You're a dirty boy. You're a dirty boy. Maybe you need not only a stick, a little tutorial on how to use Sard.

I think we'll do a stick and a curry. Yeah. Okay? And some white t-shirts, a curry and a stick. Okay. We'll show you. Okay. So I put my pillow, my big body pillowcase in the sink.

Yeah. And I put some sardine. Sprinkle the magic powder on top. And then I give it a little massage. Yeah. You gotta work the fabric. How long did you leave it soaking? Few hours.

Okay. And when I came back, I was like, ye gads. Sard, you've done it soaking. Few hours. Okay, this is worse. And when I came back, I was like, ye gads. It's like I would like the listener to imagine the photo, the water. It was like someone urinated into Vaughan's laundry basin. It looked like a weak Milo. It was grim. Oh, man. It looks like a... I don't even know how to describe it.

It's a brown. It's a yellowy brown tinge. It's a yellow tinge. It looks like if you took this, if this was in the toilet after you went wheeze, you'd be like, I'm severely dehydrated or I have massive kidney failure. Yes.

I think that's what it is. That's bad. The colour that came out of it blew my mind, even as a sadficionado and big sad boy. Yeah. Sad until we die. So you wash the pillowcase every week, but the protective cover you've never washed for two years.

No, there's no pillowcase on the body pillow. This is straight vorn. Are you raw-dogging on the pillow? I'm raw-dogging pillow protector. Wait, you don't have a pillowcase. I don't have a pillowcase. Where do you get a pillowcase for a monstrously sized body pillow? They came with a pillowcase.

They sold them. Yeah, they sold them. Oh, I didn't get a pillowcase. Where do you get a pillowcase for a monstrously sized body? They came with a pillowcase. They sold them. Yeah, they sold them. Oh, I didn't get it. Oh my God. So it has been, ooh, you are filthy. So basically that would be like you sleeping on the

same pillowcase for like three years. And never washing it. It had big, it had bought, it had big guy that sleeps on a mattress on the floor. Yeah, dude.

And all you're given when you're cold is a mink blanket. February 2022 was when they revealed the concert. No, that's revealed, but when did they play? It was a tour. It would have been 2022. Late 2022. It was maybe cooler. Yeah.

Unbelievable. But I washed it and then put it outside and it was so windy and sunny, it dried. And last night I put it on and I slept with it again and I was just like, it's a different world. Thanks to Sard. Again, this is unpaid. Someone messaged you that they love Sard so much they named their cat Sard.

Get out, I want to meet little Sard. Can you please send me on Instagram, Vornanonymous, send me a picture of the cat called Saad. Get out! I want to meet little Saad. Little Saad. Can you please send me on Instagram, Vaughan Anonymous, send me a picture of the cat called Saad. Somebody said it'd be, it's very hard

to get the pillowcase back onto the body pillow. I, that's why I didn't put it in the dryer. I hung it outside. That's fine. Yeah, but that

protective cover as well. You know, you can take your pillows to the laundromat and get the actual full pillow cleaned. I think, given you take your pillows to the laundromat and get the actual full pillow cleaned. I think, given you've been

raw dogging on the mattress protector, then the whole pillow needs a big sub. Play ZM's Flesh, Fun and Hayley. The Napier City Council

have called it not funny. Quote, not funny. It has cost rate payers $5,600. Well,

as a rate payer, that isn't funny. It's not funny. But if I got to choose how my rates were spent. Vandalism. It's kind of funny. Vandalism is afoot. Yep.

In Napier at the moment, 30 street signs around the Napier region have been vandalised by, we don't know, we don't know who, to take their names and make them silly. For example... Are they putting stickers? Are they printing? Are they doing a good job? Have you got a photo of it?

Are they doing a good job? Are they using the same font? Yeah. I mean, it's not bad. It's not bad. So here's Cornwall Road, and the C's been replaced with a P. Now, Georgia, it's not funny.

I'm like 12. It's not funny. It's not funny. Here's my thing, right? It's a different blue, but they're using a sticker, aren't they? It's okay. Rather than just like spray paint. So how is it costing so much money to take a sticker off? Unless it's damaging the sign. Unless they've painted. Maybe they've painted over and then

they've done that. So it's vandalism, 30 signs. It costs, on average, a double-sided street name, Blake, costs around $190 plus GST, depending on the size and the street name. The council can claim the GST back, so let's not say Blake plus GST. It's a business expense.

Yeah, I mean, it's confusing for the delivery people. They're like, I'm not going down Pornwall Road. You said 30 street signs, but you've only said Pornwall. So here's the thing. I've been on four news websites. Cornwall to Pornwall is the only example. They're not telling us because they don't want to encourage us. They're not telling us.

They don't want to encourage us to make funny. I know. Because it's not funny, Vaude. If anybody is listening in Napier now and knows of any of these street signs that have been changed or other examples. Well, Producer Carwin, this is your hometown being made a mockery for their silly, slightly dirty street names now. I will say that I have heard that Kent Terrace has been changed. Oh, no. Oh, goodness me.

Yeah. To Dent. To Dent. To Dent. I'm all for like, you know, if it's funny. Tongue in check. But you don't go explicit. Yeah, especially not on Kent Terrace.

I'm all for funny. I'm all for funny. But please. No, but you don't. Kent Terrace. Yeah, okay. I mean, we don't want the kids reading Kent Terrace. I will say I've pulled, I searched Napier street names

and it's brought up the entire PDF of the Napier Gov street names. Well, give us some. Can we workshop some? Is there a COX? Well, they have a Duckworth Crescent. You know that's been changed. Someone texted in that there was a Duff Road. They're going to change to Muff.

Yeah, it's Muff Road. Wow, everybody's laughing. Juvenile. It's not funny, though. It's not funny. No, it's rate, pay and money. It was funny. Until it got crass and expensive.

What else is on there? Machine. Oh, my gosh. Cameron Road had the R removed. Pause there. Do you know how to spell? Yeah. That's good. That's good.

It's not funny. It's not funny. Because it got explicit. It's not funny. It was funny. It's costing people money. Until it got explicit. Not funny. It's costing people money. Until it got explicit. Not funny.

Now, you know we made good friends with the mayor of Napier. Oh, we met the mayor when we were naming the fire truck. When we went to the Hawke's Bay Airport. Now, we don't want her now to see us laughing. They've got a hard-inged road. Okay, they don't even want to do that. Add an M in there, yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Cameron, right? Wait. Georgia doesn't get want to do that. Add an M in there, yeah. Wait, wait, wait.

Cameron, right? Wait. Georgia doesn't get it. Hang on. Where am I adding the M? Inge. Oh, no. Napa's saying Georgia.

Okay, well, just please be on the lookout if you're in Napier or you're visiting Napier. Some of the street signs may have been changed. Yeah. And it's not funny. It's not funny. It's not funny. Okay, if you had to rate, review or marry Fletch, Vaughn or Hayley,

what one would it be? Okay, I would marry Hayley. I would have sex. Wait, which one is it? No, no, no, no. It's only rate, review, marry. Oh, okay. No comment.

If it's sex, it's a podcast. I don't know how that would work. Give us a sexy little review, though.
