The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Thank you Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show.

Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Two minutes past six. Kia ora, kia ora, kia ora. Joining us in studio soon, fellow radio brethren, Matt Haith from across the hallway. He a brethren, is he? Is he? Well, child bless. I always said

radio brethren. Oh, radio, of the radio brethren. Right. I don't think he doesn't have exclusive brethren energy. No, no, he doesn't. He's written a book. Oh my God, do you know what I saw yesterday? A brethren. No, a real life Gloria Vale, like with, um, he doesn't. He's written a book. Oh, my God. Do you know what I saw yesterday? A breather in. No. A Gloria Vale. A real-life Gloria Vale.

Like, with... The blue dress. He was, like, a grown man. No, in the blue uniform, wearing a pink school bag, just walking around Auckland City, just, like, in awe. Like a little lamb. By a big city. And I was like, oh, it's a real-life Gloria Vale.

Hello? Are you all right? Yeah. Like, on a big adventure in the big smoke. Oh, wow. Fish out of water. Yeah. I'd take him into the Cassie and give him a cocktail and rock his world. You know what I mean?

I saw him taking a photo of the Sky Tower, and I was like, oh, bless. I really love the Sky Tower. The Sin Tower, as he'd call it. Full of sin, top to bottom. Oh, my God. It's a sin beacon to him. Do you think he was up on business? I don't know.

Was that quite a big business, Sammy? Yeah, I don't know. But, um... Yeah. Not streetwise. It stopped also, Gloria Vale stopped being sort of like a funny. Yeah, it has, yeah.

Much more serious now, as cults tend to do. Yeah. Yeah, they go past the chuckles pretty quick. Well, anyway, Matt Heath, not in a cult, not in Gloria Vale, but has a book. He's from the South Island, though. Has a book out today.

Yeah, he does. What are you fiddling with your microphone for? You're really avoiding it. So loose. Listen up. Okay, we'll fix it when we're off air. Just hold it for now. This feels like a Bree issue. Oh, she's wobbled it. It feels like Brie's really loosened this up. We need to...

Help me, boys. You're my only hope. Tighten that up. Star Wars reference. Thank you. Sorry, it came out. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You want to hang around in here?

Don't encourage him. A new hunt. Some of the first. Don't encourage him. Those are the good ones. Anyway, we're going to chat about Matt Heath's new book. Yes. A Guide to a Life Less Punished.

How to Live a Life Less Punishing. Yes. I read the... I've known Matt for a while. I expected it to be... I'll be honest with you, lowbrow humor. And I read the intro in the first chapter. I was like, this is intense.

Like, he is... I've always known he's a clever man. But this is really smart stuff. Yeah. About the brain and happiness and all sorts of shenanigans. Well, we'll chat to him about that soon. We've got the top six as well. Yeah.

They have announced the new name for the TV3 6 p.m. news in conjunction with stuff. Right. It's called Three News. Oh. Right. We've gone back. Which is what it was called before it was called New Shub. Oh. Right. We've gone back. Which is what it was called before it was called

New Shub. Yeah, it was. I never knew why it was called New Shub. I know. Better than Old Shub. Also, never install a new Shub.

No. Shubs are a thing of the past. Yeah, Shubs don't exist anymore. No. So, I've got the top six more creative names they could have gone with

for this new 6pm bulletin on three in conjunction with stuff. Sooner the top six. But next I want to talk to you about a new sort of romantic trend, shall I call it. Okay. It's called navel gazing. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. So it's called your umbilicus.

That's your belly button. That's its official name because that's where the umbilical cord came out. Oh, I didn't know that. Your umbilicus. That's a good name for it. Yeah. Should we call it the umbilical port?

Ooh, yeah. Makes it a bit like a USB port. Yeah. Yeah. Well, everyone sort of thinks that once, that they're sort of a bit useless now because they've done their time, they served you very well in womb.

Connection to your mama. And then you cut it off and off it wrinkles and then 90% of us get an innie and 10% get an outie. Yeah, I had an outie for a while. Did you? Yeah. You got it removed? Yeah.

Well, no, I had a hernia operation and they just went, pop, pop, popped it back in. Wow? Yeah. You got it removed? Yeah. Well, no, I had a hernia operation and they just went, popped it back in. Wow. Yeah. It was a real cute little button. Yeah, they are cute. I've got a friend with an Audi and I think it's almost cuter.

I have a very deep belly button. Ooh. Yeah, I know. Even when I have less fat, it's always steep no matter what. Right. I always thought until I had children and saw the whole operation that they somehow pushed it back in and attached it back in there. Nah. But it doesn't.

It just shrinks back in. Nah, it just sort of falls off and forms a little withered stump. Right. Well, apparently, so navel gazing is this very like, very old medical procedure, not procedure, protocol, I guess,

of checking the goodness of your health through looking at your belly button and what it can tell you and the shape it has and da-da-da-da-da.

But I don't, I don't even do that. I don't think I've looked at my, I don't know, it's just there. No, I clean mine sometimes. Like I get a little, I know,

and it makes me feel sick I hate being touched on the back Same I hate it so much When we were talking about navel gazing I brought out, it's sort of a thing for Aaron, he shoves his nose in mine No offence, but they smell

right, because no one really cleans them They're not bad. They've got to be one of the dirtiest parts of the body. Every now and then you give it a good scrub, but it makes me feel sick. Like I soap and lather, but I never put my finger in and go bleep, bleep, bleep. Yeah, I do a little bit, but because I've got a DP.

But Aaron and I have this thing where we'll find bits of us that perfectly fit. Like mine is my chin in his eye socket. And I'll rest the chin in there, and it just sort of like clicks into place. But why? There is another one where I'll pop my entire boob on his eye socket. Now, he quite likes that one.

And it really, it's like slime. This is, okay. It's like slime? Well, you know how like it's a malleable thing, and it kind of fills His eye socket And then his is his nose In my belly button

And I Is this the end of his nose Yeah In the belly button In the Wow In the Okay

In the hole This is weird Jigsaw puzzle Yeah it is weird aye But it's quite nice to find The I'll tell you The chin in the eye socket

Feels really good Does it Yeah What so he'll just rest his No I'll rest my chin In his eye socket feels really good. Does it? Yeah. So he'll just rest his... No, I'll rest my chin in his eye socket. He's in a bed. I don't want that. That would be coarse.

No, my chin and my boob in his eye socket. And just gentle. Gentle? A chin in the eye socket could really do something to my eye. No, no, it's like resting, and you find that his socket and my chin are almost a puzzle piece, and his nose and my navel or my umbilicus.

So what can you tell by looking? General health. And apparently it changes. Like shape or look? Like colour, swelling, skin texture. It's still like a little sign of health. I thought they were done. They can grow

veins. You can see blood through them sometimes. Pressure. It's time to go to the doctor if you've got blood in the belly button. Yeah, sometimes they balloon. They can dilate in size. Become more visible. I know. Dirt, debris, dead skins, never good.

You've got to get rid of that. You've got to keep it clean. It's like anything. We were talking about the tongue last week being the window to the house. Oh, yeah. I follow a woman who rates celebrities' tongues. She's been doing the Kardashians recently

and she has said that who's there? Kourtney Kardashian has the worst tongue. And slightly less than her is Kylie Jenner. She gets photos of them being like the best tongue.

I think it was Kim. Kendall's probably got the better tongue. You wish. I think Kendall's probably the leader of the Kardashian tongue rankings. You spend a lot of time thinking about her tongue, don't you? Silly little. I want to pull the record no more than the average man. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley's silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole.

Silly little pole. Silly little pole today. Do you go to the airport to see your friends off when they're going on their OE? Or are you normal? So I messaged Big Hearted James yesterday. This is what gave me the idea for this. And you know, Big Hearted James.

Big Hearted. Huge heart. He's got lots of friends. And our friend Toddy's leaving. And I messaged him the other day, yesterday, saying, hey, can you do dinner on this night? Because we've got a friend in town. He's like, oh, what time? Because I am going to the airport

to see Toddy off. Yeah. And I'm like, okay. Yeah. I have definitely seen a few people off, but not all the time. You do that at the party.

Yeah. But that's the thing, we had a party and we're having another party. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like next weekend after. Multiple parties and then you say your goodbyes at some point there

and then that's it. I would have thought the family would have been at the airport. But, you know, big heart of James, he's, you know, big heart. He's part of everyone's family. He's part of everybody's family. Yeah. And so this is what led to the question today for Silly Little Pole. Because I'm just like, I'll see you later in two years or whatever.

Yeah. At the party. But, like, have fun on your OE. I don't need to be at the airport. Airport parking's expensive. Oh, exorbitant. You've got to pay for the fuel to get out there. Yeah, okay.

You know, that's on them. I mean, what if Vaughan, what if Sade took the kids and left Vaughn, and Vaughn said, I'm sorry, I'm just trying to paint a scenario in which you're popping off on an OE, but you don't have a whole family. I'm going on the OE. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Sade's taking the kids, and Vaughn is like, I'm off. I'm finally going to do it.

I'm going to do my big OE. At 42, that's not going to be lame at all. On his own as well. Hey, guys in the hostel, what are you up to? Let's get crunk. Guys, I just can't help but notice you're still partying and it's 10 o'clock at night. I hate to be that guy, but I'd love it if you kept it down.

Can we turn down the music? The hostel common area, you know, can you wipe your pans after you're done? I don't want to be the anchor on fun here, but God, we've got a real mess on our hands. Yeah. Can we not be leaving used condoms in the communal bathroom bin? Please. The smell.

Please, gentlemen. So do you go to the airport to see your friends off on their OE? 32% of people said yes. Good friends. 68% almost nice. Nice. Said no. Erin, I'm not paying almost nice. No. Aaron,

I'm not paying for parking for that. Aaron, have you met the coach? Wait, is Aaron my soul mate? Aaron, we have your new best friend. Brianna says, maybe in my early 20s, but not in my late 20s. I've got shit to do. There's only so many hours in the day. Yeah. Fair call. Tess, for close friends,

definitely yes. I had a few of my friends come when I was leaving, and it meant so much to have them there because I didn't know when I would see them again. Yeah, right. On FaceTime and... FaceTime. Literally, when you go through airport security. I'll be messaging you in the terminal.

Yeah. It's not like it used to be. I remember my uncle went on his OE when we were kids. And like, his parents just didn't talk to him for months. They'd be like, he's over there somewhere. Or you wouldn't even get emails, would you? No, he'd send like a postcard

if he did something on a weekend somewhere. And they'd be like, oh, he's still alive. God, you could be dead in a ditch in Columbia for months before they'd notice. Oh, God, yeah. No one was going to Columbia on the OE. Nobody was going to Columbia in the 80s or the 90s. No they'd noticed. Oh, God, yeah. No one was going to Columbia, were they? No, nobody was going to Columbia in the 80s or the 90s, no.

Annalise said, no, but if they asked for a ride, I'd drop them off and wave goodbye from the drop-off zone. Yeah, rides, I'll do rides. Nice little wave

saying bye. It's a very emotional area, too, that last, like, only passengers beyond this point. Yeah, it is. People get really emotional. And I'm just like, get out of the...

You guys are really creating a... Just move to the side so we can get through, please. Yeah, that'd be great. Enough of these emotions. Ruben said, no way, they'll be back. Yeah. That's the idea, one day. Too emotional, says Linda.

Couldn't handle it. Oh, wow. Okay, so not for the fact that airport parking and it's a hassle for time, but more the fact that it's emotional. It's too much. Okay. Danielle, airports are for family goodbyes. Friend goodbyes are rowdy piss-ups before they go.

Yes. And Jackie, I can't wait for Fletch's take on this. That is literally the reason we're doing this poll, Jackie. Literally the reason. Ridiculous. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. I

always get obsessed with the latest like Instagram or TikTok cat or dog like Belarus, the cat that was cross-eyed, the main goon that was like real big cross-eyes. My latest one is a dog from Italy. No, I think we'll give latest one is a dog from Italy.

No, I think we'll give the bad dog, internet dog news first. Oh, you want to do bad news? Good news or bad news? Maybe bad because then you can come in and cheer us up. I am a bearer of great news and a bringer of light and love and positivity. I'm a bearer of bad news. Okay, well you start. Kobosu, the Sheba Inu dog that bought us the Doge meme

as well as Dogecoin. D to the 18. The dog that's actually on Dogecoin. Yeah. The dog that's in the meme. The original Doge meme. I've heard those Shiba Inus. Shiba Inus.

Shiba Inus. Is that how you say it? Shiba Inus. I saw one at the weekend actually. I heard that they're really hard to have as dogs, as pets. Why? Because they're just full noise. Oh, really?

Like always need to run and be doing something in the area. Are they like a shepherding dog? They've got the shepherding dog vibe. Yeah, right. It's like all these people getting blue healers because they're bluey. And then the blue healers are just like, why am I living in a small townhouse? I guess I best destroy it.

Yeah. This isn't my natural environment. I'm a sheepdog. Let me just destroy this house of yours. So it's a hunting dog from Japan. Right, yeah. Those are the ones you're going to... It looks like a dingo.

That picture. It looked like it needed to die five years ago, I'll say it. Oh. He looks ragged. Oh. Outside the window, birds were singing on a beautiful morning. She gently passed away into a long sleep. The longest.

Dead. There's no longer sleep. There is no longer sleep. That we know of. Okay. Well, now that we're suitably sad. Yeah. Build us up. All right. Build us Well, now that we're suitably sad. Yeah. Build us up.

All right, build us up, Buttercup. Are you ready? Yes. There is a dog that has become a viral sensation. I am now obsessed with this dog. And its name is Aaron. Which just makes it so much better. This dog is a husky.

It is my honour and privilege and pleasure to welcome to the studio Matthew John Brian Quadruple Heath. Welcome.

Thank you so much for having me. An absolute pleasure. Now, I'm an avid reader. I love to read and Fletch is a bit of a dum-dum, so I hope you've done an audio book. I read the audio book. It's not reading, is it? No.

No, it's not. But you've written a book. Yeah, I've written a book. A Life Less Punishing. I have written a book. Took me about two years. But I've written one, yeah. I've heard it's quite hard to write a book.

It takes up a lot of your time, especially, you know, as a breakfast radio host where you really want to just go to sleep. Who's doing your radio show right now while this is playing? I guess Wells. You just crossed the hallway. Yeah, I just crossed the hallway to do my own promotion. Ditched him. Ditched him. Fair enough.

That's fair enough. I'd like to see that guy try, you know. On his own. Skating on his good looks and his... He's been riding me for years, that guy. Yeah. Lucky you. Sounds about right for years, that guy. Yeah. Lucky you. Sounds about right.

I'm sorry. That slipped out. Now, A Lifeless Punishing, 13 ways to love the life you've got. It's got to have that extra title on it. I love that. The extra title bit, which I was like, I don't want the extra title. And the publisher said you've got to have the extra little bit at the end. Oh, why?

It hooks people in. Because it's got to tell you what it's about. To give it more of a self-help feel. Yeah, I guess so. I guess that's why, yeah. Right. But I mean, when was the last book that was non-fiction, didn't have a name and then a long one afterwards?

A sub-name. Yeah, for sure. Ah! So what is A Life Less Punishing, 13 Ways to Love the Life You've Got by Matt Heath about? Well, it's... What's behind it? Well, it's about, you know, say in our lives we can, you know,

we can be having, we can make our lives way more punishing than they need to be. And if you're in the good times, like I found myself, things were reasonably good in my life, but I still wasn't enjoying it. So I thought, well, that's pretty annoying, that's stupid, because things are probably about to go horrible, you know. And so I thought, you know, I might just do a bit of research into that. So I started like reading a bunch of philosophy and science

around why different emotions and how to deal with different emotions. And then I started putting it in my Herald columns. And then the Herald said, do you want to be the happiness editor? It was just a made up thing. Happiness editor. Yeah, so I was the happiness editor for the Herald, which just really meant writing a second article a week for the Herald. And then a publisher came up to me and said,

Ellen Unwin said, would you like to write a book in this space? And I went, yeah, I'll write a book in this space because I've been sort of doing the research for it already. And I'd already made myself feel better. I was just going to say, do you feel like through doing the research you're genuinely living a happier life? Yeah, well, the books. Or experiencing the happiness of the life that you have? Yeah, I think I am. Well, it's just little things like I used to think if you got angry, you just stayed angry until you weren't angry anymore.

You just burn it out, you'd just burn it and then eventually it would subside and then you'd be feeling humiliated and you'd go through that and then you'd be stressed. Wait, wait, wait, how do you stop being angry? This is shocking. Well, oddly in all the research, it came

down to exactly the same thing as ancient philosophers had said, neuroscientists have said, and what your mum said to you when you were a kid. Which I remember when I was a kid, I used to be an angry little boy, and my mum would always grab my hands and she'd look me in the eye and she'd go, breathe, okay? Okay, Matthew, take a few breaths and count to ten. And one.

Okay. Love you. Run off. Aww. Love you. Run off. Aww. Good mum. That's what mum would do but she was just doing it because that's what mums do

but actually all that is doing is taking time for you. The reptilian, the ancient part of your brain, the amygdala and stuff which is firing up and making you angry and you're firing off

like a territorial primitive beast and your prefrontal cortex, the newer part, your brain's shut down. And that's the part of the brain that simulates and makes good decisions. I didn't realise you were so smart, Matt. And then so when that, so that breath just brings the prefrontal cortex back on

and then you make good decisions. I've been to breathing therapy. Have you? Yeah, twice. And I never knew really the power behind breathing and how much it impacts your well-being. Yeah, it's huge. With this stuff, you're holding a grudge, Vaughn. That's what keeps me alive.

He thrives on it. Thrive on a grudge. Are your grudges full of anger or are they fueled by annoyance? A bit of everything. A bit of everything, yeah. It's like a coleslaw. Yeah. You know, it's all shredded up and mixed in there with a nice dressing.

Buddy, are you serving your revenge cold? That's not really – I've never acted. You just – I just hold them. You just hold them, right. You'll keep – that's the sort of attitude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll keep.

You'll keep. You'll turn into a tumor, won't you? And then if something bad happens to them, I'll be like, that might have been me manifesting. I love this because I know that you write your columns and you're such a funny guy. I love that you've written such a, I mean, reading about it, it's a funny, it's got a funny angle on it.

You're not suddenly dropping into this deep, serious guru. But I love that you have done this. There's some humiliating stories. Each chapter starts with a humiliating story from my life. Fantastic. We love that. Deep dive into the sort of philosophy, history, and neuroscience around the subject.

And then hopefully a story about me behaving slightly better on an occasion sometime in the future. But you know what? The best thing that's happened about this book and being an author is a radio host. I've realised as an author you don't care if people haven't read your book or you're not if they go to the interview you know as an interviewer you go in and and someone turns up and you can't believe that they're coming in and you haven't read their book yeah and you feel a little bit of panic i've realized from this perspective that we never have to worry about

it again oh really because we haven't read your book yeah exactly you know i read the forward and the first one was like this is, whoa, that's just full noise. Yeah. Where's the cricket dick jokes? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got to be in here somewhere. There's a few dick jokes. Okay, good, good, good.

But, you know, and that's really good for me now. So now I know that authors don't care if you've read their book or not because, I mean, Chris Parker came in to our show and I asked him three questions from the first page of his book and Chris Parker was like, you've only read one page, Matt. He's calling you out. Yeah, he's calling me out. Go to page 260

and ask a question from that next time. Amazing. I'll go deep. Go deep for the last part and be like, and I found it really interesting how you summed it up there on the last page.

Yeah. You did a lot all together. Well, it's out today. Yeah. Life Less Punishing. Subtitle, 13 Ways to Love the Life You've Got by author Matt John Braham McNashby-Heath. That's it. Braham McNashby. Braham John Braham McNashby-Heath.

That's it. Braham McNashby. Braham. Braham McNashby-Heath. Yeah. Thank you. Good luck. I hope a million successes with the book.

And thank you for having me, and congratulations for your guys' continuing success. Thank you. And let's all take a deep breath together. I'm so happy. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah This is the Top 6

Hello Well it's been a whole thing News Hub Was shut down What was the cost of Producing news Time warnery Owners of three shut down due to, I don't know, what was the cost of producing news? Expensive. No advertising. Warner, Time Warner-y,

owners of three were like, ah, you guys don't really need it. And everyone was like, oh no, we did all along. So that was announced. It was getting shut down. Then staff were like, hey, we'll help.

We'll chuck it all together. Are they just going to make this in the back of their building? I hope so. In the boardroom? There might be something quite charming about a real student TV field. Yes. Because student TV doesn't exist anymore, eh?

Because everyone's bloody got their own YouTube channel. No, why would you? Yeah. TikTok. Yeah. Yeah, they do. Yeah. Do it that way.

Don't need to do the big old student TV productions. R.I.P. So, Samantha Hayes stays on. Michael Roberts leaves, people are coming and going. Of course, it needs a new name. Yeah.

Yesterday they said the name is three news. The keeping, I will say, I would have thought it would have been a great time to get rid of that logo.

The three logo needs, it looks like, Oh yeah, it's yuck isn't it? Oh yeah. Looks like a kid made it. Remember the old one with the big bubbly dots? The big three with the circle.

The green one, the red one, and the blue circle. Love that logo. How of a logo. Great logo. Yeah, this plus sign, equal sign thing is not my vibe. But you were not impressed by this new name. You wanted something a bit jazzier. It needed to be jazzier.

It's got to have a slightly more casual feel to it, doesn't it? Okay. Number four on the list of the top six slightly more creative names for the new 3 News bulletin, the Samantha Hayes News Hour. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. I love Sam Hayes.

It was called Holmes after Paul Holmes. Yeah. Hayes. And then ever since... Hayes. Call it the Hayes. The Hayes. The Hayes. With a Z. The Hayes Paul Holmes. Yeah. And then ever since. Call it the Haze. Da Haze. Da Haze.

The Haze. On Juice. Higher. On Juice TV. Speaking of making it in the bloody back room. God bless. Low budge. Number three on the list of the top six slightly more creative names

for the news bulletin, stuffed with news. Stuffed. Like it's packed. Stuffed brimmed. Yes. Brimmed with news. Stuffed with news. And the ad for the news can be news being stuffed into, like,

I don't know, the back of a turkey or a chook. Yeah, an air hole. Things that you stuff. A pillow. A bean bag. News into your air hole. Yes. Stuffed.

Stuff it in. You're right. Yeah, I'm absolutely stuffed. Number two on the list of the top six slightly more creative names for the new 6 o'clock bulletin, I'll say was probably my weakest. Okay. And then someone messaged a great one in to the text machine. Okay.

So I've switched it out. Oh, wait. This is a user-submitted number two. Okay. They said, please tell me one of them is going to be stuff it in, stuff, and bulletin, stuff it in. Stuff it in. Stuff it in.

Stuff it in on three. Stuff it in. Stuff it in on three. What was the one that you had? Bulletin. What was it? Stuff it in. Stuff that happened. Stuff It In? Stuff It In on three. What was the one that you had? What was it? Stuff It In. Stuff That Happened.

Stuff That Happened. Not as good. Not as good as Stuff It In. No, Stuff It In's good. Stuff It In. And number one on the list of the top six slightly more creative names for three new shows, Three Stuff, because it sounds like free stuff. So everyone will just tune in because everyone loves free stuff.

Yeah, I like free stuff. Yeah, I love free stuff. And so you tune in for the free stuff, but they got you. It's three stuff. They could maybe do a small giveaway at the end of each news bulletin. They would actually get people watching the news, some competitions in the news. You know what I mean.

We're just going to leave Syria now and give you the chance to win some steak knives. Yeah. If you're the first to win some steak knives. Yeah. If you're the first caller through on 0800 News News. We cut through the fuss here at Freestuff. And you can cut through some steak with this brand new set of knives. All you've got to do is tell us how many bombs were dropped on Syria today. And if you've been watching the show, we'll of course know the answer to that. You can take a live caller.

Yep. Hello, freestuff. Hi, hi. Hi. Hi, this is Joan from Palmerston North. Joan, thank you for saying what city you're in. That always helps. Yeah.

How many bombs have dropped on Syria? Today, I think within the last, did you say 72? 72 is correct. Stigma is coming your way. Oh, how fantastic. Oh, not the bombs, but the knives. Yes, the knives for you. The bombs, terrible. I think we can all agree. Oh, how fantastic. Oh, not the bombs, but the knives.

Yes, the knives for you. The bombs, terrible. I think we can all agree. Terrible, terrible. It's strange to celebrate. Sports is up next. Free stuff. Free stuff. Yeah, I mean, look, the way it's going with advertising, maybe.

Maybe that will end up happening. I think it's a bloody great idea. Journalistic integrity. Free stuff. That's the next episode. Northwest, who is the oldest child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. And I'll say she gives big nightmare energy. She speaks to, I don't watch the show, but I've seen clips, she

speaks to her mother atrociously. That kid needs a clip around the ears. She does need a clip around the ears. What does she say to her? She's rude. She mocks her. Super rude to her. If you pulled this shit on bed, bed would have slapped it off your face. Oh yeah, she would have got the glad wrap roll out and given you

a bloody hiding. She is a little mini Kanye West. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Yeah, right. Big time. Well, she took part in a concert of the Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl, like Lion King music live.

Yeah. With all sorts of celebrities. Jennifer Hudson was singing. Lots of original cast members were there. So it wasn't the Lion King stage show? No, it wasn't the musical. It was just the Lion King, the music live. Right.

It was at the Hollywood Bowl, right? Yeah. Yeah, I've got a clip here of her singing. Now, I will say before, as someone with a daughter that's about to turn 10 who would love to get on stage and sing. Email.

Who's that from? Because I didn't get one, so that's a personalised one. That's from NZME Postmaster. I've received an email from yuljanuary at gmail.com Apparently they've blocked that under the stamp spam policy. It's good that they let you know that. I'll go back to the thing.

So as someone with a 10-year-old, I'd say don't be mean. No, we're not being mean. Before I even hear it. No, not being mean. It's just play the clip. Okay. Okay. Here it comes.

Okay. Yeah, she's fine. The funny thing about it... It is a very professional production, though. It's not like school production, unless you went to Kristen, that private school on the North Shore that drops a quarter of a million on their musicals. And North West just wore shorts and a hoodie.

And when you watch the performance, she's giving, I want to say if your maximum energy output is 100, she's giving 22. Right. She's giving it 22%. She's giving it 22%. Right. And everyone was just like, nepotism! Yeah.

Because, I mean, Jennifer Hudson, one of the greatest singers in the world, you know, like they've really got some voices on this stage. Everyone was like, you know, there's lots of kids that are really good at singing. There's literally a school just down the road in Hollywood for children who only care about performing. Yeah. And North West got the role and everyone was like, that's nepotism at play.

Now, good for her. If she wants to perform and be a little Simba, why not? But we thought we could get some calls and messages in on when nepotism worked in your favour. Maybe you have... Maybe mum and dad pulled some strings. But do you know what? People like us that aren't nepotism babies

If you were you'd be like yeah sweet I know It comes from a place of Jealousy of how much harder it is To not do one If your parents were entrepreneurs and multi billionaires And they had to start a business You'd be like sweet

I think there's a lot of criticism for nepotism Especially in Hollywood and you're like what and also looking I mean I know that they get it if the person's good

like if there's a nepo baby actor or something and they're good and they're a good actor I'm like oh who cares if they've got a foot in the door

and they you know cut the line a bit but do you think in New Zealand like people would even admit to being a neo baby? No.

Because you say let's take some calls, but I don't know if people are going to be like. You're saying it's an impossible thing. I mean, it almost could be because I don't think in New Zealand people are going to be like, yeah, my mom or dad, like, I got a head start. Like, I don't care. But are we also taking, like, people calling in and saying, yes, I've've seen a nepo, like I'm in a workplace. I lost out to a nepo baby. Yeah, because someone has said, what is a nepo baby, please? Okay, so nepotism.

The practice among those with power or influence favoring relatives, friends, or associates. So basically like if your parents worked in an industry and then you kind of got a leg up into that industry and then became successful or not, you're a Nepo baby. Yeah. Because nepotism is that your parents kind of

favoring you in the family. It's my, like, I think BuzzFeed, or there's heaps of, like, lists online of Hollywood Nepo babies. And there are so many, like, you don't even realize how many Nepo babies there are in Hollywood. It's crazy.

Because they might have a different, they've's crazy. Because they might have a different, they've changed their name, they might have a different last name. Yeah. So many. To be a more famous parent. So it's basically like, it's all about who you know, really, isn't it?

I wonder if you can Google New Zealand Nepo babies. Do we have many? I don't, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. So, well, this is what we want to know. Have you been helped out? Yes, or maybe you know of someone. Did nepotism work for you?

It's too small a country. I know. I don't want to say the name. I thought of a couple and then I thought of that. And it just does sound like you're bitter. Yeah. And like jealous. But maybe at work you missed out to a promotion because, I don't know,

someone's dad or someone's mum put their son or their daughter in the position. That's nepotism. Or like when Vaughn's mum picked him for the rep hockey team. That is nepotism. That was the opposite. My mum became coach after I made the team. The timeline's confusing.

She said, I'll do it because my son's there. I'm going to be there anyway. He was always on the starting 11. Nepotism. That's nepotism. I did get to play whatever position I wanted. We're actually amongst Nepo. We're actually, yeah. We are in the company of Nepo. Yeah.

You're a private school brat, so I'm pretty much the only one that's made it on my own. Yeah. Who started from the bottom and now he's here. Even your parents didn't want you to succeed. You were like the anti-Nepo baby. They nicked you your whole life. On the opposite. Okay, 0800 DALESATEM is our number.

Give us a call. 0800 DALESATEM. When did nepotism work in your favour? God, I'm looking at all the Nepo babies in Hollywood. There's so many. Like the Beckhams, the Kardashian-Jenners, Robert Downey Jr. is a Nepo baby. Kate Moss' daughter is a...

His dad was a producer, eh? Yeah. Robert Downey Jr.'s dad wasn't an actor. Jason Bateman a Nepo baby too? He's a Nepo baby. No, no, no. Jason Bateman's sister is an actress, Justine Bateman, but he wasn't a Nepo baby. His parents didn't work in the industry.

Liv Tyler, Nepo. Yeah, because her dad was the guy from Aerosmith. Francis Bean, Cobain. But she's like... Nepo baby. His parents didn't work in the industry. Liv Tyler, Nepo. Yeah, because her dad was the guy from Aerosmith. Francis Bean, Cobain. But she's like... Nepo. Nepo. Paris Hilton, can I get a Nepo? Gwyneth Paltrow, Nepo baby.

Jason Bateman is a Nepo baby. Somebody messaged in that they're a real estate agent. And apparently the real estate industry is rife with this because, you know, when someone retires, they can sell their list. Oh. Or they've got their client base. Yeah, yeah, yeah, their client list.

So it's somebody, you know, and they ring them, and, hey, you bought this place, you love buying a new place, you want to buy another place. And you've kind of already got the in. And apparently there's quite a few examples around New Zealand of real estate agents just passing their list on to their kids, not selling it to them, just giving them basically a massive foot in the door.

Sometimes you'll see real estate agents, it'll be mum and their daughter or their dad and their son, and you're just like, why would you want to work with your parents all day? I know. Hey, can I get a Miley Cyrus? Nepo. Yeah.

Got her the foot in the door for the Nickelodeon. But isn't she so talented that you can't forgive her? I know. This is what I mean when it's like you'd be annoyed if there was a Nepo baby and they were so bad but they got so many boosts. But Miley Cyrus is arguably so much better than her dad at music. Well, people are admitting that they are Nepo babies. Rebecca, good morning.

Thank you for being brave and joining us this morning to admit that you are a Nepo baby. Welcome, Nepo. Oh, good. It's a family joke at this point. So what's the industry? So my uncle is one of the inventors of the 3D printer. What?

This sounds like a lie someone puts on Tinder. It's actually true, though. So he invented the, okay, wow. The 3D printer you know today was invented by my uncle and a collaborator called The RepRack. Okay. Wow.

And so I grew up around Rep. Okay. Wow. Wow. And so I grew up around this. Okay. So now I work for a charity with him and my cousin teaching people how to use 3D printers and the only reason I got in the door to this job and know how to use 3D printers

is because of him. Yeah, wow. Your uncle invented it. But then also, you can be forgiven because it's charity, you know, and it's a family thing. My cousin is worse because she's got to go to Egypt, Bhutan, and Bali for free because of this. Oh, wow.

That's big. She's about 5,000 years too late to Egypt. They could have used a 3D printer on that pyramid. It was a nightmare to put together. You would used a 3D printer on that pyramid. God, it took so long if it was a nightmare to put together. You would need a lot of ink cartridges for that.

Yeah, you would. You'd need a few. Resin cartridges. I don't know what you use. Imagine if they weren't plastic. All those pyramids and the sphinxes and stuff, they would have lasted, though,

if we made them out of plastic and not stupid bloody sand and bricks. Oh, they would have melted. They would have melted. Very soft. You're right, actually. She knows.

Yeah, Rebecca, is your uncle really rich? No. Oh. Did he not, like, copyright it or patent it or whatever? No, so we're, as a family, all of this is about open source, so about creating a 3D printer that anybody could make if they had access to a 3D printer. Oh, that's cool. So you're a good person.

You're a good person. It's nice to talk to a good person every now and then. It is. Yeah. Rather than the three of us just chatting.

You can use 3D printers for so many life-saving things. We're going to be able to print new body parts and stuff. Yeah, I know. It's so cool when I think about it.

And like little wheelchairs for your disabled cats. Yeah, yeah, that's good stuff. Oh, you know, imagine that. Imagine Major Murray Foggyton. Can we get the CAD file? No, they do. Can you send us the CAD file for the cat wheelchair, Rebecca? They do.

They've got those ones. They wear them like a little thing. Yeah, they say you've got a CAD file for it. Yes, please. Well, if anybody listening needs a cat wheelchair, Rebecca can sort us out with a CAD file, whatever that is. Is that a 3D drawing, is it?

Yeah. Okay. They can always come along to the Fab Lab in Masterton and learn themselves. In Masterton? Jeez, we've talked to you about 3D printers for long enough. You've got to get out there and print those cat wheelchairs. We'll let you go.

I'll go off. Yay, thank you. Thanks, Rebecca. Ta-ta. Thank you for sharing. Ta-ta. As far as Nepo babies go, she was very delightful.

She was great. Some other messages in. I got offered a job in the Navy once. I was completely hopeless in the physical test. The psychological test, I absolutely floundered. The interview was very harsh

and I felt sad at the end of it. Why are they yelling at me? It was a whole weekend of this horrible test and then I got offered the job and I was like, how the hell did I get offered the job? Somebody said it is literally because your dad was

a respected naval officer. That was the only reason you got offered the job. So I turned it down. Yeah, that's probably good for your dad's legacy. Apparently pilots. Really? Big nepos in the pilot industry. Jeez Louise. I worked as

a labourer with the boss's son. We started working for the company at the same time. The boss bought his son a brand new work ute because he was saying I was putting too many Ks on my personal car, Dad. And Dad was paying for gas and he brand new work ute because he was saying, I'm putting too many Ks on my personal car, Dad. And Dad was paying for gas and he got the new ute. I asked for a petrol allowance as I was driving over an hour to work each day

and got declined. Oh. Oh. Hmm. Not a nepo, baby. I lost that on a marketing job to a girl whose dad was, I'm not going to say, but quite high up and he knew the CEO of the company I had applied at.

Shouldn't even apply or get an interview. She just straight up got the job. Oh, my God. Oh, God. Property developer. I went to get my restricted driver's license. I failed to give way, which is an instant fail. But then the tester guy said, your dad's not Bruce, is it?

And it was. That's my dad. And he said, oh, yeah, and he passed me anyway. Now, that's the sort of New Zealand Nepo baby story I like. I know, that's dangerous. She's not a good driver. Your dad's a good bugger. My mum was a school principal.

Seven form ball was on my 18th birthday. I turned up a little bit litty, as you do when you turn 18, but all the teachers turned a blind eye because my mum's a principal. Oh, my God, you're a bit schloppy. Yeah, she's a bit schloppy on her birthday. Yeah, I love these stories. That's good stuff. So good.

It's nice to be self-aware. Somebody said, I did get an interview for an unpaid internship because of my dad, but then everything that happened afterwards was the hard work that I put in. And I can't really say an unpaid internship was like a great head start

for an EPO baby. Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah, but if you're unpaid but you've still got a Mercedes in the car park. Oh, delightful. A Mercedes.

Yes. I've got nothing from my dad owning a finance company other than a job and a free phone and my phone bill paid for for ages. We didn't get on the life insurance and the insurance until like a year ago.

Yeah, all the insurances. Right. I did get a trip to Fiji. I'm a nipper, baby. I interviewed at a law firm and I walked out of the interview when the father-son partnership told me they were worried that I would have a sense of entitlement because my parents helped me through uni.

And they just said it straight face, not at all. Yeah. Getting the irony of the entire situation. I was like, I don't know. Read the room. Producer Shannon wants to pitch to us a party hack.

Now, I believe this is if you were throwing a good old-fashioned house party. Yeah, a little soiree. A soiree. Yeah. Because I'm actually thinking of having a small soiree on Friday, so perhaps I could employ this technique. Perfect. I've got you covered.

Okay. Isn't there nothing more frustrating than saying, come at seven, we're ready, and no one's there and it's like eight o'clock. Frustrating, right? Who does? I'm always a little bit late, but not an hour. 20 minutes? Yeah.

So like, you know, nothing more frustrating. You've got all the, you know, you've got the cocktail sausages warm. Yeah. And no one's there. The Cheerios are warm. Whatios are warm a kid's birthday party no it's a soiree okay listen so you're frustrated of people showing up late to your party here's a hack okay create some little vip wristbands okay here we are stay with me okay and for the first 10 minutes of that opening window so say if you said come at 7, until 7.10,

anyone who arrives gets a wristband. Okay. Then you set up a VIP area of your house. Okay. And those people can go there. Now you've created a sense of FOMO for everyone who showed up late. It's exclusive. Right.

So now everyone, you're training them like little dogs, I guess. I think you've invited Too many people Yeah see I was like If I've got a group of say Seven people coming over To my Plenty

120 square metre house It's going to be quite obvious And three of them Arrive within the window And the other four don't And then so You've split the party in half. Three are in the VIP section, which your house is what?

The back lounge? Yeah. And then the other ones have to sit in the front. In the front lounge. Yeah, but next time all seven will show up on time. I'm playing the long game here. I would say we're bad next time. Who's coming back to this crazy house party?

Yeah. I'm late and I've been segregated in a room all by myself. But you get warm cocktail sausages. Totally. I mean, I'm also incredibly privileged to have two sort of living spaces, but in most houses you'd have a lounge. So then are we segregating to the bedrooms?

Yeah, I reckon a bedroom or maybe a laundry. We think about your place, Fletch, which is very open plan. Yeah, yeah. So if you wanted VIP, we're going in the spare room. Oh, I don't want people in the spare room.

We could get a velvet rope. That could be good. Oh, my God. Just curtain off the table area. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they get, like, extra cocktail sausages. I'm really fixated on those. Oh, now I'm really...

Shannon, this is a dumb idea. This is a dumb party hat. I don't think... I would say this feels like It's for American Richies Who have a big Two story Yeah Mansion

And a house party Of at least 50 people Wouldn't you be better To say first If you're here by 7 Or here by 8 You get a cocktail

A special cocktail A cocktail sausage No An actual cocktail Oh And then everyone else just gets cheap sad. The cocktail sausages will be hitting the table at 7. If you guys wanted to risk turning up late and missing out on delicious,

turned inside out because they were boiled a bit too quick, cocktail sausages are on you. Exploded apart sausages. I mean, I think you have clocked it because the video I saw was a rich American with a two-story house. Yes. There was about 30 people. You're 100%.

I think in New Zealand and smaller houses it needs to be less segregation and more, you won't get the good snacks. Yeah, do you know I went down a bit of a rabbit hole there when you first mentioned the wristbands and I found these websites. You can get all

the wristbands you get anywhere you go and get a wristband. Those classic neon lime ones so you just need to know what color this event's gonna have and have in your glove box those big water slides do you guys remember those you could get one of each color and then as you arrive have a look and be like right guys it's green and then just reach into your briefcase because you've got a briefcase of wristbands yeah i think this is why quite a few concerts have started making their own like custom ones

when I was at the MCG for Taylor they had specifically made ones that looked like friendship bracelets that you couldn't copy but you could go on a water slide I don't think they've upped the scale entry at the Kellensville show I don't know if buying 50 wristbands

at $28 New Zealand, how many free hydro slides is that going to get me? Dude, if you take your kids to a hydro slide place and you just got them all free hydro slides. Cut them in half as well. You could go half in the diameter. Boom, two bracelets.

No, that's just too skinny. Oh, my God, that's too skinny. They'll be on to you. They're not idiots, Shannon. They know the thickness of their wristbands. First, my hack is not good. Now my wristband's too skinny. They'll be on to you. They're not idiots, Shannon. They know the thickness of their wristbands. First my hack is not good, now my wristband's too skinny. You could twist it, I suppose. You could say, oh, it got all twisted.

Yeah. See, you're back on score. I mean, she's a hustler. She's trying to save a buck here by cutting her wristbands in half. Next on the show, Vaughan Sirens of the World. Correct. Could be the hottest new game in radio. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Are we doing water ambulances? The Venetian water police. That would just be an ambulance. Why don't you just say Venice ambulance?

You just say Venice ambulance. Fantastic. Thank you, Connie. Honestly? I don't know about this segment. Do you think? Oh, no. Are you liking the segment?

I'm passionate. Okay. I feel like it needs a prize next time. Yeah, well, maybe. We've got to motivate people. What can we send Connie? A couple apples? Don't look at my stuff.

You're looking over at my stuff. We're just looking at what we can send of your stuff. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. I have never been a bride. It's awkward. I've never been a bride. But you've been engaged for how long?

Five years. Five years? Yeah. No? Longer? Six years? No, five? You keep inviting us to this wedding that's never happening. This mythical wedding. Yeah No? Longer? Six years? No, five years? You keep inviting us to this wedding that's never happening

This mythical wedding 30 Oh, I got married I got engaged a couple of days before my 30th birthday so yeah, it'll be coming up five years

Okay Because I'm 35 this year But I have been to many, many weddings before and I am always known for not RSVPing on time Really? Yeah before and I am always known for not RSVPing on time. Really?

Yeah, and I always get a little nudge nudge. Is it because when you get a wedding RSVP, it's always for like a year or something away and you're just like, oh yeah, okay,

I'll just leave that in my inbox or I'll deal with that later and you forget. But they need the numbers. Maybe. I was always very casual in my wedding RSVP approach until I had one. Yeah.

And then you're like, are they coming or not? I've sent them. They've got them. Are they coming or not? Right. Yeah, I get a little nudge. Because it's a wedding. It's not a house party.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Well, there is a bride that has caused a bit of a debate online and it also made it to the Drew Barrymore show. So that's when you know it's really. Wow, that's when you know it's real. That's really landed. It's really 24's Alan DeGeneres. Did she sit really close to her?

Is Drew Barrymore the one that sits really close? Yeah, she gets right up in their face. No, she wasn't. The bride wasn't on the show, but she just talked about it. Oh, right, okay. So it was because she decided not to do the, like, if you don't RSVP, I'll be like, hey, Fletch, personal message, are you coming?

I just need your RSVP. If you miss the deadline, please RSVP by this time here. She just sent back a message the day after, and it's a little note that says, Miss RSVP, we're sorry you can't make it to our wedding. Our RSVP deadline has passed and you unfortunately did not respond. We would have loved to have

had you attend, but final numbers have now been turned in and your presence will be missed. Bride and groom. Wow, passing. It's just like she didn't do any like, hey. Are you coming? Hey, you haven't RSVP'd. Oh yeah, I can't Are you coming? Hey, you haven't RSVP'd. Oh, yeah, I can't make it.

Or hey, you haven't RSVP'd. Oh, yeah, sorry, I'll do it now. Just I gave you the deadline. You missed the deadline. The deadline has passed. And now you just all are receiving this. And apparently like a lot of the guests were like, oh, shit, sorry. And then she's like, well, my numbers are locked off.

Was that also because they had too many people and they're quite thankful now that it's low numbers? No. No, she was just like, no. Like, during the time that you send out the invites and then the RSVP day, you're doing a lot of planning in that time, budget-wise. Was there a reminder email to the people that had an RSVP?

No. This was it. Okay, ruthless. Yeah. So she said, like, if you didn't RSVP, there's no plate for you. There's no seat for you. There is no need for you here. There will be no wedding favour.

I have not factored you into my day no longer. I've heard of people that never RSVP but turned up to the wedding. Yeah. Oh, no. Because they're just terrible at life, Edmund. I went to a wedding like that and they were like, huh? They were like, oh, my God, I assumed you weren't coming. No, I'm here.

Cool. It's catered. There's no empty seats. There's no food. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Son of a gun. It's also, I mean, depending on whether you do like a buffet or a shared plate or an individual plate, but it must be hard to organise like hosting all these people. Okay.

I would say it's annoying. I've just read a little bit more information on this. She had invited 550 people to this wedding Oh my god She's trying to cut She's trying to cut She's trying to cut

She's And you know Yeah She's realised that's too many people Yeah That's a ridiculous amount of people 550 That is insane

That's a town meeting That's so big Yeah It is a town meeting It's a town meeting It's a town meeting That's a town meeting With an exceptional turnout A great turnout for the town meeting Wow A lot of people came is a town meeting. It's a town meeting. Town meeting with an exceptional turnout.

A great turnout for the town meeting. Wow, a lot of people came to this town meeting. Yeah, there must have been at least 550 people there. You wouldn't even get 550 people to a town meeting. Nobody cares that much about that. We had a town meeting in our local town hall, literally on the corner of our street, and I think four people went. Yeah. You couldn't be bothered

just wandering 100 metres to the... And the points of discussion have been of great importance to me, but I forgot. So now I don't get a say. I didn't RSVP. I don't get a say. I don't get a chair. And now there are no footpaths.

And now they've removed my footpaths in every tree. And they're cutting down all trees. Yeah, and they're bowling my house. And there's no more buses. Yeah, and there's no more buses. Don't get a say. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Now, this is good stuff.

A pilot. this happened in Missouri in the States This is at the weekend, this just happened A single engine Cessna and had the pilot and six people on board Now something went wrong They've yet to establish what went wrong

but the plane began to, as the pilot deducted of the situation crash It was droppinged of the situation, crash. Right. How dare he, man. It was dropping out of the sky. At which point the pilot is like, well, I'll catch you guys later.

And parachutes. Now, these other people on board are skydivers. Right. So why didn't they skydive? It doesn't say. One can only assume they didn't have their packs on. They weren't ready. It was too low altitude. You should have put your pack on this whole time.

There's different sorts of parachutes. He's like out, parachute, land, safe. They're like, no, ours have to do a thingy. We're not high enough. Yeah. To parachute? I don't know. I don't know.

But so he abandons ship. Shouldn't he be the last one to go? The captain goes down with the ship. Yeah. Then. We've all seen Titanic. It doesn't say if another one of the passengers grabbed the steering stick and tried to land it. Did they call it a steering stick?

I believe that's not the term. A steering stick. Yeah. I just want to say I don't think that's it. They grabbed the joystick and try to land the plane but then apparently just before it crashes they so I don't know if they tuck and roll into the field because

it's got a picture of the Cessna it's an absolute wreck but it doesn't say they skydive to safety but they all survive no parachute is mentioned apart from the pilots cowardly active abandoning ship and leaving these people to their own situation but all of them

survive. Then the police arrive because there's a plane crash and these people obviously by the plane crash give their accounts of things. They go over to the hangar and the pilots just sitting there being like to be honest. I didn't think I'd be dealing with a situation like this. I just sort of thought maybe you guys were dying and I'd be able to see you again. You guys would die and then I could kind of tell the story without you guys. I tried.

I did everything I could. My cowardice. Surely, so they didn't parachute out, it doesn't say. It does not mention parachutes at all. Apart from his parachute. They must have. They describe it, the six others on board were all skydivers, but were able to jump clear of the Cessna just before it struck the ground.

Oh, wow. So they literally last minute. Tuck them out. That's terrible. It must have been like coming down. It kind of just being like. Yeah. Must have been coming in and they.

Go. Jump. And so this pilot's like, well, I've just got to save myself. Yeah. I'm never going to see these've just got to save myself. Yeah. I'm never going to see these guys again. Very knee jerk. Yeah. Jeepers.

We want to know when you've been in these situations. Like when you were just like, oh, I'm never going to. When did you abandon your systems? Yeah. When did you think, oh, I'm never going to see them again? And just do something that you wouldn't do if it was someone you knew. You know, like when you pull into traffic and you cut someone off and they're like, meh, and you see their finger and you're like,

I'll pretend not to look. And then at the next lights they pull up right beside you and you're like. Yes, yeah, I've done that so many times. I didn't think they were going to be taking the same off ramp as me. I don't think I'd see them again. I once tooted at someone. I was at these lights in Wellington and and I was heading to marching training, and the lights went green, and the person didn't move,

and I tooted, and I was like, move. And then I got there, and it was another girl on my team. And she was like, why are you tooting at me? I was like, oh, I'm so sorry. That's when you're like, I knew it was you. I knew it was you. I was just being a silly billy. Yeah.

Get off your phone. What about if you did something? Maybe you thought you weren't going to see a lover again And you maybe did something a little Like a one night Ranker than usual Yes When I stand you go to a wedding

You're like hello Or work or you go to pick your kids up from school And it's the teacher And you're dating their brother now And you're like I didn't think I was going to see you again. Well, I did tell a couple of stories in my show, didn't I? Imagine if I had to see

neither of those guys again. Yeah, after you've far told the story on stage. Somebody said, it's called a yoke, not a steering stick. I think you'll find the yoke is the yellow part of the egg,

you dick. What's in your head? You rocks. You dummy. I bet you're a cold kid wearing a singlet That might be a pilot texting in Vaughan I think that's what they call it

We'll tell them to stay in their lane We don't call up them and tell them how to fly a plane Pilots, stick to your ships with the skull and crossbones, mate Yeah, exactly I think I know my steering sticks from my yokes Okay, we want to take your calls 0800 DALS at M now 9696

When did you think you were never going to see them again? Yeah, great. But then you did. And you ran into them. Maybe you were poorly behaved. Yeah, and it was awkward when you saw them again. When did you think you were never going to see them again? A pilot in a Cessna with a bunch of skydivers just abandoned the plane

because he's like, oh, this thing's crashing. You guys are right. You sort yourselves out. And then everybody survived. And he was like, oh, this thing's crashing. You guys are right. You sort yourselves out and then everybody survived and he was like, to be honest. Nice to see you guys made it. Oh, I knew you'd do it.

I knew you'd do it. I knew you'd make it. Fantastic. I wouldn't have jumped if I didn't know that you guys had it and you were all good. I don't know how they made it

without jumping it because that plane is in a million pieces on the ground. I do not know. They're so lucky. I need to know more about this. They jumping. Because that plane is in a million pieces on the ground. I do not know. They're so lucky. They need to know more about this. They would have had GoPros on their helmet.

That's a rule if you're a Skydiver. You've got to have a GoPro on your helmet at all times. Always. Anna, when did you think you were never going to see them again? I was in my early 20s and I had a house party and had some single mums turn up and had good time sleepovers with some of my very young friends. Yeah. And then I started teaching the following year and had them turn up

and they were mums of the kids in my class and had to see them. So it wasn't me, it was them. Wait, so you had some naughty, fun sleepover times? No, she didn't. The mums slept with her friends. Oh. And I was the teacher, yeah. And then you were the. The mum slept with her friends. Oh. And I was the teacher. Yeah.

And then you were the teacher of the mum's kids. Oh my gosh. Did they recognise you? I had to see them every day for a year. It was, yeah, it was fun. Did they recognise you?

They were like, you're the girl that had the house party where we came. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You were naughty. That's intense.

Thank you, Anna. Tracy, this happened to your friend. When did she think that she'd never see them again? Yeah, so in 2009, this is my best friend at uni, we went over to Beachcomber Island for New Year's, as you do. As you do. Yes, and then so she met a guy who was a fighter pilot in a particular area of the world.

And I was like, were you really a fighter pilot? I was going to say, Tracy, can I say, I don't believe that he's a fighter pilot at Beachcomber. Having been to Beachcomber Island, if you're earning fighter pilot money, you're not going to Beachcomber and Fiji. No, no, you're not. Anyway, they hit it off. She loses her V-card to him.

Okay. And then, you know, never to, and doesn't tell him that that's happening. Yeah. And then never sees, thinks she's never going to see him again. Yeah. Six years later, we're at Winterfest in Queenstown. And we're, you know, partying as you do, sitting around the table. And then everyone's kind of talking about what they're doing.

And this one guy says he's a fighter pilot in this particular area of the world. And I'm like, hold on a minute. How many fighter pilots are there from Brisbane, Australia? Then I go, hey, is your sister's name Sachin Shah? And he's like, yes. And I'm like, oh, were you in Beachcomber Island for New Year's in, say, 2009 or 2010? And he's like, yes.

I look at her. She looks at me. I look back at her. We look at him. And he's like, yes, I look at her, she looks at me, I look back at her, we look at him, and he's like, hang on a minute, he pulls up his Facebook and he's looking at his old Facebook albums. There's photos of us in this album. Oh my God! We're all looking at each other like, what is happening? So that's that story.

Wait, was he actually a fighter pilot? He was actually a fighter pilot. He was actually a fighter pilot in Beachcomber Island, telling the truth. Wait, and did he remember her in the end? No, they did not remember each other, which I found hilarious. Oh, my gosh.

Wow. How much do you change after six years? I suppose if it was just a one-night stand, though. Well, see, you're on Beachcomber, it's New Year's, you're not going to remember a lot, are you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my gosh. That's amazing.

And she was like, I'm never going to see this. Yeah, whatever. A mysterious six years later. And a completely different climate. She sees him again. I love that. Tracy, thank you. Petra, when did you think you'd never see them again?

So one of my best friends was moving to Brisbane. Yeah. And I didn't think I'd see him for a very long time anyway. And basically I cornered him in his kitchen on the night before he left. Yeah. And told him that I was in love with him. Because one of our friends also really liked him for years. So I was like, I can never go there.

But then I was feeling bold, obviously, on this night. Yeah. And caution to the wind. You're not going to see him again for a while. Exactly. And I, like, was literally waiting until the last moment as my Uber had arrived so I could run away as soon as I told him. Yeah.

I did. And then, anyway, he moved back from Brisbane a couple of years later and we've been together for four years. So it was... Oh! Is that a fighter pilot, is he? He's not a fighter pilot. No, I was like,

he's not top of the fighter pilot story. Oh, that's a happy ending if you never thought you were going to see them again. That's a happy ending. No, it was really... It worked out, yeah. I'm so happy about that. That's a nice ending. It worked out. I'm so happy about that. That's a nice story. Thank you,

Petra. Some more messages in. When did you think you were never going to see them again? I had a random three-way encounter with a woman and her partner. Okay. For younger listeners, that's where you run into them in the supermarket. Yeah, and there's two of them and one of you.

And then you stand in a triangle. Triangles have three sides. Yeah. I, and there's two of them and one of you. Yeah, you say, oh my God, oh my God, hi. You're like, oh, hi. And then you stand in a triangle. Yes. Triangles have three sides. Yeah. I had a random triangle encounter with a girl and her partner. A couple of weeks later, that woman turned up to enroll to her childhood, my early childhood education. No. Never spoke about it.

No, thank you. Never spoke about it. Never spoke about it. No. Yeah. I was driving with my husband and I saw a very slow Tesla driving in front of us So we passed and I said stupid Teslas And we tooted and I ripped the fingers

Why are you saying Tesla? Tesla You're hitting the S too hard You're giving it two S's like it's Tessa A Tesla Nikolai Tesla No it's Tesla Almost like with a Z

Stop saying Tesla Were you know, but you say lots of S's. Were you hearing that as well? Yeah. I always say Tesla. You were saying Tesla. I say lots of S's like Z's. Tesla. Tesla.

Tesla. Okay, well, there was this Tesla. Thank you. And it was slow, so we broke the fingers as we went past, and we were like stupid Teslas who would buy one of those. You've learned that wrong. And we got home, and as we pulled into our driveway, and we got out of the car, my in-laws pulled in

in their new Tesla. Tesla, thank you. They said, did you know it was us? We said, yes. We were just having a silly time. I made a TikTok about my ex right after we broke up and he had blocked me so I didn't think he'd see it.

Safe to say he saw it and when I slept with him again he brought it up and it was embarrassing. Why is he bringing it up? Why was he bringing it up? Yeah. Why was he bringing it up? Um, what is it? Oh, we're missing the first part of this. Have you read this one? Hang on. Turned up for

the first day of my first child's school. Yeah. Had slept, I had slept with the new entrance teacher. Told my mate who told the school. Okay. That had slept with the new entrance teacher. Told my mate who told the school. Okay. That was great. Yeah, fine.

He was hot though. Yeah, okay. Bonus. That's pretty good. Did we read this potential incestuous one? No, we tend not to. Okay. I haven't read it.

It's not too bad. I haven't read it. It's not too bad. It's not too bad. I had a one night stand and thought it would never cross paths again. Little did I know I would see him again a few weeks later at a family reunion. No! I was like, what? Are we related?

Turns out his mum and dad were distant cousins. His mum and my dad are distant cousins but it's totally fine as my dad is adopted so not related. Right. Okay. My friend and I were in South Africa. We met a random French guy from France.

They tend to be from there, don't they? They do, yeah. They tend to be there. And we wanted to French kiss him very badly. So we both did a triangle. At the same time. Oh, yep. Okay.

Her and I went traveling to the UK. The very first bar we walked into, guess who was sitting right there? The French guy. The French guy we thought we'd never see again. I had a big night out when I was fresh 18. Vomited in a taxi. Had to be dumped on my parents' doorstep by the taxi driver for my dad to pay the cleaning fee.

Turns out the taxi driver was an undertaker who moonlights as a taxi driver and I had to see him again two weeks later at my nana's funeral. You're like, sorry I vomited in your taxi. He's like, sorry about your nana. funeral. You're like, sorry I've armed in your taxi. He's like, sorry about your nana. Yeah, guess we're even.

Oh no, what are we doing here? Hang on, yeah, we've got Fact of the Day next.

It was a great out though. It was good. It was a great out. You said something funny and then I was

just like, he's punching out. I liked it. Wonderful end. Tight. Now we're going to do

Fact of the Day. Yeah, it's beer week. It is beer week. I'm loving beer week. Beer with me. Oh're going to do fact of the day. Yeah, it's beer week. It is beer week. I'm loving beer week. Beer with me. Oh, don't do that. Day two.

Yeah. Day two, we've already got the beer puns. And the Tesla stuff that we have to deal with. Play ZM's Fletch for the daily. Play ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, I do apologise. I do apologise. What? Why do you apologise? They said this is a great bare fact that they had learnt in biology.

It's okay, bubs. It's okay, bubs. I made a mistake, nanny. It's okay, bubs. And I've got to say sorry. It's okay. Somebody sent me this fact. I'd like to say their name that they've sent me this fact, but I've misplaced their name. Please say their name. Gerald it. Gerald it. Gerald it. Almost Geraldine. almost jerry a little bit gerald

for a gerald from uh the witcher gerald gerald uh black bears have the ability to pause their pregnancy okay like a netflix show yeah they can mate, a bear can mate, and when the fertilization happens, you know, the cells start dividing, reproducing, getting out there. And by the fifth or sixth day, the fertilized egg is known as a blastocyst. Blastocyst? Yeah. Sounds a little bit like a Pokemon, but it's a blastocyst.

And then rather than take- Not a narcissist? Not a narcissist, a blastocyst. And then they'll pause it. It stops at that point. It doesn't implant itself. Oh, so it's like almost in the Petri dish, and then we've got to get it into the oven.

Yeah, but you don't put it in the oven. You leave it in the petri dish, you don't do the baking. It's actually a good way of looking at it. You've got all the cake all mixed up and ready to go, the batter's ready to go, but then you don't put it in the oven. What if they give a baby,

a pre-implanted baby as a batter? Cake mix. Which is quite dangerous, because if you left any cookie dough or cake mix, I'd just be constantly having a little bit of it. And then the cake's very small. You're going to downsize your cake tin. You've got half a beer cake.

And a much smaller cake tin. So it's called embryonic diapause. Okay. And it stops, yeah, it starts and then effectively they will just put it, and I believe I read the uterine lining. And it won't get to where it needs to be, and they'll just pause. So does it always pause? Does it always pause? Not.

Or they can choose, and they have to choose to pause it? It's weird that their body just knows whether or not it needs to happen. Multiple factors, like if they're like, it's unseasonably warm, something's a bit weird, or I haven't eaten enough lately. Is there going to be a shortage of food? And if I get pregnant, it's going to be, you know, not good. Because, like, human bodies do that. If you get too skinny or too stressed or something,

it won't let you menstruate because it's like, if you have a baby right now, that's a really bad idea. Yeah, but they do it at the next stage. But they get the cells producing and then they just put a pause on it. It'd be so good to be like, okay, I've done that. Yeah, it's too hot right now. But I just want to go, I've got a holiday. Yeah.

I've got a holiday, I don't want to feel crook. It's Christmas, you know. I was about to ask if they're allowed to have a glass of wine. No beers, I don't know. It doesn't really make, it doesn't really. Yeah. My first thought. Yeah.

Oh, I wonder if you're still allowed to have a little drinky poo before that really gets into the thing. I don't know, make hibernation easier. Have a couple of drinks before. Oh, I wonder if you're still allowed to have a little drinky poo before that really gets into the thing. I don't know, make hibernation easier. Have a couple of drinks before. Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely. So it gets into that and then, yeah, it implants in the uterine wall and then they can just pause it for months and then when it gets to a more suitable time,

it starts developing again. They'll shift it along and it'll go into the spot it needs to to begin developing into a baby bear. How fascinating. Oh no, I'm not going to ask you because that may be a fact for another day. I'm fascinated by the difference between black bears and grizzly bears.

I'm just looking at them. Yeah, yeah, the black bears are much smaller. Yes. Somebody actually sent in the well-known bear. I tell you what, I've had some great feedback so far on Bear Week. Okay. Oh, I'm loving it.

If it's black, fight back. If it's brown'm loving it. If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lie down. If it's white, good night. A polar bear. Yeah, polar bear, there's nothing, it's just, you're done. You're done for, you're toast.

Not if you tickle it. Your turkey's gone. Come here. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't do that. He's a beautiful white fur. Don't do that. Brown, you play dead.

I don't think it would be as beautiful as you think. It's quite coarse and up close. I've touched one. There's that taxi dermied polar bear in the store in Queenstown. It's called Flora and Fauna in Queenstown. How'd they get it there? It was like awful, like an awful story,

and they rescued it from a museum because it wasn't in good nick. And they're like, oh, yeah, we'll just have it here and you can touch it. And I'll be like, you might as well just touch a polar bear if you want to it's really full-sized is it in a roaring position no it's just like on all fours ah that's missed opportunity yeah but it's huge what for tickles i just think if you're gonna get a polar bear oh before you said it yeah you'd rather want it being like, ah, or cuddly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, he's just cute. He's sweet. He's just all four. Wow.

Next time you're in Queenstown. I'd like him on his back, so if I was watching TV, I could drag him into the room. Oh my God, you could let your spoon yourself with that. I'd put memory foam inside him and then I'd lie on him. I was going to say, is it unperfect to say you would like a Polar Bear beanbag? Oh, yeah. Who made those beanbags we've got with the memory foam?

Millow. Millow. I'm going to reach out to them. I don't know if they'll do a polar bear one. If I can get my hands on the corpse. Would you turn it into a beanbag? So today's fact of the day is black bears can pause their pregnancies. Aren't they amazing?

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. What's your jobby? What's your jobby? What's your jobby? What's your jobby? What's your jobby? What's your jobby? Welcome to What's Your Jobby? Our new favourite pastime. I love this game.

Good morning Penny. Hi. Now we're going to ask you three questions about your job. So don't tell us what it is yet. And then we're going to try and figure out what your job is, if we can do that, $100 cash. I'm going to start. Did you have to study for a while?

Like, did you go to uni for your job? No. Okay. Okay. Penny's giving me management. Oh, yeah, you give me management. I'm just hearing a touch of authority in your voice, Penny. I'm just trying to formulate my question around maybe she's...

Prison guard. Oh. This is a problem when you say something. Now you can't get out of the head. Okay. Penny, are you in charge of a large number of people as part of your job? No. Okay. Penny of your job? No. Okay.

Penny is a farmer. No. Oh. Oh, no. One of my questions is allowed to be a guess. Yeah. It's like guess who. You can go straight away and be like, Michael.

You've shortchanged us. Now we've lost, haven't we? No, we haven't. Yeah, because your question is, are you a farmer? Oh, wait. So we could come together and make one last guess. We can have a collective guess. It's not a farmer. Okay.

It's like a game of guess who, right? You can guess the individual. Yeah, okay. So it's not a farmer. Penny, do you work? Wait, we've used our three questions. No, this is why I think the job is. Oh, okay.

Okay. Do you print photos at Warehouse Stationery? Yes, but that's not the job that I gave. I have two jobs. What? What? That's not the job that I gave. When they asked what my job was,

you got that job. One of your jobs is printing photos at Warehouse Stationery. Yes, but that's not the answer. Wait a minute. No, no, no. It's not allowed. Yes, but that's not the answer. Wait a minute. No, no, no. It's not allowed. That's not allowed to be the job. I just took a strip in the dark.

So specifically silly. Wait, what is your job? I'm a freezing worker. I'm a butcher. Oh. A butcher. We never would have guessed that. Wait, but sometimes you print pictures for warehouse stationery.

I have a secondary job. That's my second job. My main job is on the... Come on. Wait, that's insane. I hate that in my spirit. I see that's the job that you do and put as your job. I'm a butcher 40 hours a week and 25 hours a week I work at the warehouse.

So my main job is a butcher. You work at the warehouse printing photos at warehouse stationery or you just work at the warehouse? I work at the warehouse in the stationery section. Oh! You did it! I said she works for warehouse

stationery in the photo printing bit. Well, that's what she does. She works for that warehouse in the stationery department. Because the warehouse stationery is in the warehouse now. What? Oh my God. Since when? A lot of them

have sucked them into the inner sanctum of the warehouse. Guys, I believe our studio may be on a spiritual cross point. Yes, I know.

Some weird... Should we get calls if people want to talk to loved ones? Yeah. Nana. We're transcending. Penny,

that was the most freakish thing. I just heard something in her voice and it gave me... Photo printing energy. Yes! Butcher photo printing energy. Oh, we've got to give her the hundred bucks. Ask the people when

they said to me, what's my job? What did I answer? I answered, I'm a butcher at the freezing work. Yeah, they did. Down south too by the roll on that R. Yeah, I know, but now we know that she's got a secondary job and that one came to me. Yeah, I think we've got to do it. Yeah, go on.

We've got to do it. That was so weird. That was wild. That was absolutely, that was so weird. I just had that feeling from Penny. You know what happened this morning? What happened? I'm sorry, overnight.

So overnight I actually got a message from my work at Stationery Warehouse that an elderly lady came in last week and on Friday and she wanted some photos restored and they were missing the photo. So I've been thinking about that all like the last I found out last night and that's all I can

think about is this lady who's lost her old photo. She's really thinking about her job at Warehouse Stationery. It came down the line. Yeah, it came down the line. Guys, I feel electric right now. What do you do with this energy after

mum's name? I don't know. Very confused. $100, Penny, for what's your job? You've won today. Oh, my God. What's your secondary jobby?

Someone messaged in. It was pretty great how Penny tried to talk us out of giving her a hundy because she said, no, I did say butcher. Even though you've guessed the job I do for 25 hours a week. Someone says do it again so we know it's on a fluke. Use the spiritual energy. But we don't have any more money. Yeah, we're out of money now.

We've allocated our money today, haven't we? Penny, I'm so glad you won that. What's your favourite bit of meat to cut off when you're butchering? What do you like? It would have to be probably, well, I butcher the inside of the sheep before it actually gets chopped up, so I take out the guts, the lungs, the heart. Hot stuff. This is hot stuff, Penny.

Penny, do people try to print their nudes out? I don't think so because we don't look at the photos. We just print them out, make sure the name's on the back and shove it in. We're not really allowed to look at them because it's people's personal life. Oh, God, I would look at every single one of them. Print two copies of that one, two copies of that one. She guts a sheep and she will not look. That's the sort of woman we're dealing with here, a good Southland woman.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. So apparently this is a massive thing in Japan at the moment called friendship marriages. And it's all about like engaging in a marriage of sorts, doesn't have to be legal, with a friend. But you're not involved romantically or sexually. Is that because in Japan at the moment they've got real problems with their ageing population dying and young people not getting married and having kids? Young people aren't getting married.

They've got a real problem with their Asian population. Well, Japan's the wrong place. Ageing. Primarily an Asian population. Ageing. I've come to Japan and there's Asians everywhere. Everywhere. Yeah.

I said aging. Aging. Yeah. So it is, young people are doing this. Okay. Modern day marriage seeking platonic union without love or sex. You can move in together. You can share bills.

You can cook meals together. you spend your time together. So just flatting with your best friends. Well, kind of, basically, but also building a life. When you go, like, we could buy a house together, we could go on holidays together, we could, you know, do all those things. Having a best friend. But then what happens when your best friend meets someone and then they want to sell their half of the house?

I know, I know. And then you're just like, this isn't going to last. Well, I think a lot of them are saying that they have no desire to meet people. Right. So they're going, we just want to have these nice lives with a companion. Have some security. I always said to my best friend, you know, the classic thing, that we'd get married if we didn't meet anyone. Yeah.

We would have never had. We're still waiting for your marriage, aren't you? Yeah, I know. Still waiting. Yeah. What about you guys? Do you think that you could coexist, like live together? Probably.

Yeah, probably. In a flat? Yeah, probably. When I say flat, it'll be a nice house. Get you a nice house. He'd want a bloody farm somewhere. No, no, but you wouldn't have to do any of the work. Oh, yeah, I'm not doing any lawns or...

You just get to, like, wait about in the pool. You do the inside stuff. I just sit in the spa pool. You do the inside stuff. It's not working, mate. The heat of things gone again. Oh, my... Stop lying to us.

Try as I might. No, it is. It's a problem. You lie to Hayley and I so we don't come to your house. It's cold. I'll send you... It's wild. I'll put the thermometer in it today and I'll send you a photo.

We are such good company. It's cold. It's actually wild. What can we come over on Friday and jump in? I mean, this is the first opera. I cannot keep up with the leaves falling off my trees into my pool. The last time you pulled up and used his pool, you urinated on his hedge. And it lived till bloody 2.30 in the morning.

And I drug all the Chardonnay. Yeah, this is why you're not invited back. I'm not invited. And it's cold. I have not been invited back. And this is why he's not friendship marrying you either. Yeah, I know. No, yeah, you wouldn't want to friendship marry me.

No, no, no, I don't believe so. I'm full on. I don't believe. Be like, touch my feet. Tell me something nice about myself. Do this. Cook me this. Pools too cold.

It'd be like this three hours a day, 24 hours a day. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Okay, a bit much. A bit much. A bit much. Oh, another one in the bag.

It's a Versace bag as well. If you enjoyed that, give us a rating and a review and be sure to tell your mates. You don't sound sincere there, boy. I'm just reading what's written here. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
