Starting point is 00:02:35 A lot of them, I looked up A lot of them coming from the IT section Oh, okay Of our health department Well, that's not good Because we might have a breach Well, you'll remember that the Waikato DHB
Starting point is 00:02:47 was hacked. And they were ransomed, weren't they? Yeah, they were ransomed. God, I can't have that information out. The very gatekeepers. The things I talk to my doctor about. I know. The things you've gone to A&E for. Oh my gosh. The list is extensive. Always use a safety string. Oh, always use a safety string.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Stuff gets stuck, is all we'll say. You've just got to be sensible. I've got the top six things that the hackers will get from the public health system. Yeah, now that they're getting rid of all these IT people. Exactly. The gatekeepers will be gone. And the hackers will be hacking. All right, top six.
Starting point is 00:03:20 So next on the show. A Netflix star has landed herself in a lot of trouble, and I think she thought she could get away with it. Because she's hot. Because she's hot. This has got hot person privilege all over it. Yeah, hot privilege written all over it. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley, the show. Thanks to McCaffey. Ron? Great things are brewing. What? Sounded like you said Fletch, Ron, and Hayley.

Starting point is 00:04:08 You're a Hermione cat. I'm not Ron. I'm Harry. I've got glasses. You're a lovable mess. Yeah. Okay. I'm Ron.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Okay. You're Hagrid. One of the finest characters. That's a big insult. He's an absolute legend. R.I.P. R.I.P. Robbie Coltrane.
Starting point is 00:04:22 R.I.P. He's a great actor. Yeah. Well, not anymore.I.P. R.I.P. Robbie Coltrane. R.I.P. He's a great actor. Yeah, well, not anymore. No. Sorry, that's such a terrible thing to say. Now, Olga Bidnaska. That's a Polish name. Bidnaska.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Okay, she's also a Harry Potter character. Yeah, it sounds like it, eh? She was part of the cast of Too Hot to Handle. That's a Netflix dating show in which, and I watched the first season that I tapped out. Was she in the first season? No. It's a show where they go to an island
Starting point is 00:04:51 under the pretense that it's like a hot person on an island dating show. Yep. And then they are informed that there is a pool of money that the winners, that the people that last to the end will win, but they lose money every time they do a sexual act. So a certain amount of money for kissing, a certain amount
Starting point is 00:05:09 more for foreplay, and a certain amount more for the whole shebang. How much is foreplay? It was like 10 grand or something. My foreplay's been valued at 10 grand. Congrats. Yeah. Wow. The actual lovemaking, what's that worth?
Starting point is 00:05:25 Well that was more like 20 grand or something I could never charge that much Right Shannon you've seen All of the seasons Of course I have I love them
Starting point is 00:05:33 How much is lovemaking? So kissing is 6 grand Lovemaking is 20 And then fondling is around the 10 Yeah that's right Fondling Fondling is more than that But how much of this happens
Starting point is 00:05:45 when the contestants know that they're filmed from all angles at 24-7. And they're going to lose the money. Yeah, but also after season one, people realise the people who break the rules get more screen time, therefore become bigger influencers. So the most famous people out of every
Starting point is 00:06:02 season break the most rules, like Olga. Yeah. Right. So, yeah. But they also set up the whole thing to be like the hottest people, the steamiest games. Like they get them all randy and then they're like, okay, bye, don't touch each other or you'll lose money. And then they wake up in the morning and they're like, the pool has been reduced by $50,000. It was like, who did it?
Starting point is 00:06:24 What did you do? Anyway, it's fantastic. Now, Olga was in this, was on this show. She is incredibly beautiful. And just for reference, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:06:32 I'll just aim it at Vaughan. I'll just show Vaughan. Oh yeah, wow, okay. Just a very beautiful Polish woman. I mean, they're not putting
Starting point is 00:06:38 mangas on this TV show, are they? No, no, no, no, because otherwise it's too easy. I don't want to touch you.
Starting point is 00:06:42 I don't want to lose any money. She was arrested in October after flying to Thailand under the pretense. She sort of was, I don't know. She's kind of told a story that she was told to go to Thailand, buy some fake designer goods and bring them back. She was going to get paid 18,000 pounds, 35-ish thousand dollars to do this. And she went there to Thailand and when she came back through
Starting point is 00:07:10 Manchester airport she was pulled over and she had two suitcases and she was asked did you pack your own bags and everything? She said yes of course I did. Yeah. At which point they went to search the bags and she didn't know the code and she had to admit that she had been handed the bags at the airport and she didn't know what was in them. And they said well that's very suspicious and she was like okay I might. And she had to admit that she'd been handed the bag to the airport and she didn't know what was in them.
Starting point is 00:07:26 And they said, well, that's very suspicious. And she was like, okay, I might be in a bit of trouble here. On the way back from Thailand. Yeah, at Manchester Airport. Okay, some giant red flags here, Olga. So obviously they cut into the bags. Now, you think that, you know, she's agreed to take designer goods. We're thinking there's some Gucky handbags,
Starting point is 00:07:41 some Dolce and Robanas. Louis Vuitton. Yeah, Louis Vuittons. No, there is 40 kgs of marijuana. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, 40 kgs of marijuana to the street value of $338,000 New Zealand dollars. We're going to be crying our hands.
Starting point is 00:08:04 And she's saying I had... I'm confused. She's taking... Weed's the weirdest one to take internationally because surely Britain can grow weed. Yeah, and like, why would you risk... If you're going to run drugs, why not take an expensive drug?
Starting point is 00:08:18 I mean, I'm not encouraging... You can... I know what you mean. But you know what I mean? If I'm going to risk it, I want to make the most bang for my buck. Weed's one of the cheapest drugs. One briefcase of heroin is surely worth a giant bag of weed.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Yeah. Well, it was 40 kgs of cannabis in vacuum sealed packages, concealed by clothes inside the suitcase. And she swears she has no idea about this. She then was asked, like, who paid for her flights and everything? And she was like like it was my friend this person called Tex they wanted her to bring back designer
Starting point is 00:08:50 clothing and watches and that's what I thought was in the suitcase. Oh hon. I know so then this is something that like a 60 year old or 70 year old you know does. I know. You know you read these stories all the time there was that Australian woman who recently did this she was like 60 or 70. From South America? Yeah, and she went to
Starting point is 00:09:08 South America thinking she was, oh, it was so sad. And that's so sad. There was a customs one where they target older women travelling by themselves because they're the ones that people trick into taking drugs internationally. Yeah. So she was originally given 20 months prison. Yeah. And suspended for two years in order to complete 15 days of rehab. But then the judge,
Starting point is 00:09:31 basically, the reason it's back in the news now because this was in October, is that the judge has gone, I'm not going to send you to prison because you're going to be released from custody. You're hot and I need to keep an eye on you so you're going to be living in my house. Your prison will be in my house. Are you telling me that a hot person's got
Starting point is 00:09:48 away with something else? A hot white person. So he said he's looked her up and everything and said over the last few years you've found yourself in extreme financial difficulties living far beyond your means and this is the influencer thing. She's come off this Netflix series thinking
Starting point is 00:10:03 I've got to keep up with this influencer life, but wasn't making influencer money. And so kind of took this terrible job as a way to get some money. And he was like, I think you've just made a huge mistake here. Because she lost. She dumb, right?
Starting point is 00:10:19 And you're acting under the direction of other people and you've got a great rack. I think is what the judge said. Okay, right. She hasn't posted on Instagram for 38 weeks. Now, I'm on her Instagram for investigation purposes. Of course. She's probably been in Remandvorn without any...
Starting point is 00:10:33 Well, that's what I was wondering. When was the... October. So that would be about right, yeah. October is when she was caught. October is when she was caught at the border. She last posted on March 1st, and she looks to be in a tropical locale.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And that looks like Bali to me. Yeah, that's got a big... I don't know why. I thought that looked like Bali over Thailand. I'm not sure why. Yeah. Okay. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Look, if somebody offers you to bring a suitcase, don't. Well, and if they do... Didn't it look like one of those tricolor plastic wovens? I think they were inside the suitcase, yeah. Yeah, those great bags. Didn't it look like one of those tricolour plastic wovens? I think they were inside the suitcase, yeah. Yeah, those great bags. But if you do accept taking a bag that you don't know the contents of
Starting point is 00:11:13 to import into a country, make sure you're hot. I think that's the moral of the story. Again, hot people get away with everything. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Okay, Wicked. It's actually unbelievable I still haven't seen this, even though Wicked is by far is so
Starting point is 00:11:30 far from being my favourite musical. But I'm a musical theatre lover. I did a little bit of Wicked research yesterday. Did you? In my own time. That I would like to bring to the show now. Please do. What did you... Second highest earning musical of all time. Yep. Yep, it's so popular. Can't tell you what the number one is.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I assume it's Phantom. Or Les Mis. Ah, and that, you know, have you heard this holding space? Holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity? Yeah. Have you heard this? Yeah. Do you know the origins of this meme?
Starting point is 00:11:57 So there was an interviewer who said to Cynthia Invero, are you aware of the fact that people are holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity, which is the big song? And the best part is no one knows, no one knew what it meant. The woman that said it didn't know what it meant. The actresses certainly didn't know what it meant,
Starting point is 00:12:18 but they know that it must mean something very special. So everyone's like, oh. And then Ariana Grande reaches across and holds Cynthia's finger like this. The whole thing is so deep. Oh my God, I wasn't aware that that was happening. Oh my God. And then the woman's like, what have I done?
Starting point is 00:12:34 So she tries to backpedal and she's like, well, I've seen it a couple of times. I do work in queer media. The whole thing is just like, what's just happened? Because that's what I've seen people talking about holding space for like, I'm really holding space for my mum's cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Or people calling into work to being like, I'm so sorry I can't come in today. I'm currently holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity. Sorry, Ross Boss. I won't be in on Friday. Nobody knows what it means, but it sounds so intense. No one knows, but I'm holding space for the lyrics. Anyway, so this huge movie, I haven't seen it yet. I'm holding space for the lyrics. Anyway, so, I mean, this huge movie, I haven't seen it yet.
Starting point is 00:13:06 I'm holding space for other things in my life. Yeah. And I shall see it very soon. I'm excited. But there was this huge rumour that started that Ariana Grande
Starting point is 00:13:16 got paid 15 million US dollars for her role as Glinda and Cynthia Invera, Erivo, and Cynthia Invera, Erivo, sorry, Invera, Erivo, got paid $1 million for her role as Elphaba. And they're very much equal roles. But Ariana Grande, she's a superstar. No offence to Cynthia.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I hadn't heard of her until this role. But she is massive. I mean, she's been in heaps of movies, but she's been massive in musical theatre. But that's just what happens. The big Hollywood stars are the ones that get people to the movie. Totally. So everyone was like this is unbelievable. Doesn't help that
Starting point is 00:13:52 Cynthia is black and queer and everyone was going like this is what it is and getting hot on that thing. Anyway, in a very rare statement, Universal came out. They would never usually do this but they were like don't say we're racist or we're queerphobic.
Starting point is 00:14:07 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They made a statement saying like, this is internet fodder. They were paid, both actresses, both lead actresses were paid exactly the same amount for their roles.
Starting point is 00:14:17 They won't say how much and it's kind of none of our business, I guess. Yeah. They won't say how much, but they were like, to the dollar, were paid exactly the same.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Wow, okay. So they just came in, they were like, shut it, shut we're paid exactly the same. Wow, okay. So they just came and they were like, shut it. Shut it down. Almost like they saw this coming. Almost like they went, this is 100% what people are going to talk about. Play. ZM. Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Jobs. You've got to have them to pay the bills. That's right. Unfortunately, Health New Zealand are losing some
Starting point is 00:14:53 IT staff. A large number of IT staff, somebody posted on Reddit that an email went out this morning to a large number of IT staff at Health New Zealand telling them their position could be significantly affected by the reorganisation disestablishment and combination of roles. So there's going to be
Starting point is 00:15:09 a cut to the people who look after our... Did they say 1,500? Was that the number? 1,500 total jobs to go and it's estimated that somewhere in the 500 to 600s is going to be IT. Well that's not good for our bookings and our information. No. It's a good for our bookings and our information.
Starting point is 00:15:25 No. It's a bit worrying, isn't it? Not great. No. And I think just something happened in the last five years that showed how crucial our health system is. And I can't put my finger on it. Anyway, I'm sure that'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever happen again. So that's fine.
Starting point is 00:15:44 But that's bad. I don't like that particularly. I never really thought about that significant side of the health system until there was the breach of the Waikato DHB recently, and they had records. What happened at the end of that? Because it was ransomed, right? What is this, a movie?
Starting point is 00:16:05 Did we pay them? I don't know. Did we pay? That's what I meant. Did we pay them? Surely. We don't negotiate with terrorists. No.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Yeah, we should have just sent them an elite strike force. Who are they? Well, we can't tell you because they're an elite secret strike force. But let's just say one might be Fletch. I knew it. I knew he didn't have all this time on his hands for nothing. I've got night vision goggles. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:29 When he's like, I'm busy this afternoon, he's on a quick trip to Papua New Guinea to rescue some hostages. I'm doing that stuff all the time. Oh, my God. I just had no idea. What an incredible man. Well, the top six things hackers will get from the public health system with IT are losing so many employees.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Number six on the list, how big your wang is. I didn't know that they kept a record of that on your health. Surely they don't measure it. Because when I log into my health record to see what my latest... Well, you've got to add it. Oh, do you know, today's my sixth month so I can get another COVID vaccine. Are we still doing that? Are we still doing that?
Starting point is 00:17:01 100%, I'm getting all of them. Okay. I can do that today. I'm a week away, a week or two away. Will you go to Greens? Will I go to Greens? Our local pharmacy. No, I go to Ellen's. Ellen's, sorry. Yes, Ellen's. Yes, that's what I was thinking about. Of course.
Starting point is 00:17:14 That lovely lady. Number five on the... Are you going to get it then? Going to get your jab? Yeah, I will. Today. Yeah, I'll go today. Have a sore arm for a day. You do have that secret mission to the Solomon Islands, though. Yeah, but you know what? I'm tough.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I get to do both. He is tough. I'll hold my gun in my backpack and my night vision goggles. This is a whole new side of you. You'd be the pussiest SAS. You'd get the jab and then you'd be like, I actually can't. I can't lift my arm. It actually hurts a little bit more than I thought it would.
Starting point is 00:17:41 No, but I get it in my left one. Yeah, but that's the one that holds the front of the gun. Your gun's going to be droopy. I'll be fine. You'll have a droopy gun. I'll go to throw one of my flash grenades and I'll be like, oh! It'll be too close. You'll be like, ah! And then boom. And you'll come to work tomorrow with sore eyes. Half a face. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Number five on the list of the top six things hackers will get from the public health system, with so many IT professionals losing their jobs, if you've got any weird moles. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. I've had a mole map. Yeah? Did they put W on any for weird?
Starting point is 00:18:14 Nah. No weird ones. Right. No weird moles. Couple of warts, though, as you know. Still in doubt with those. Interesting. You've got the kit and everything. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top No. Interesting. You've got the kit and everything. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six things the hackers will get from the public health system. What you've got one bigger of than the other.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I'm talking boobs, balls, legs. Feet. Yeah. Legs. When you've got one that's... Because they're allowed to be a little bit different. Kidneys. But you don't want a huge discrepancy. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Because then they'll know. Imagine having an ordinary sized hand in a child's hand. I'd hold hands so it was cute. I'd be like, this is cute. My little hand feels really taken care of. No, but it'd be annoying every time you go to buy things like gloves. You'd have to buy two sets and then throw out the other. I know, it's like people with significantly different-sized feet.
Starting point is 00:19:02 You'd be like, what a pain. Yeah. You need to find your perfect other. And do swipsies. Sw be like, what a pain. Yeah. You need to find your perfect other. And do swipsies. Swipsies, swipsies. Number three on the list of the top six things hackers will get from the public health system when IT people in the public health system
Starting point is 00:19:15 lose their jobs. How far up your tummy your pubes stop. Do they make a note of that? Or if they even stop. They do make a note of that. Do they? Yeah, yeah. When you get pap smears,
Starting point is 00:19:24 they'll be like cervix, cervical health, tick, good. You know, da-da-da, STD check, tick, pubes. To the belt line. Yeah, lower navel. Snail trail to the belly. Yeah, yeah. Okay, great. Just a brief description.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Do you consider the snail trail part of the pube family? Yes. No, I separate it into stomach and pubis. You think body hair and pubic hair too? Because I consider the armpits pubic hair because you get them at puberty. No, the armpit hair's not pubes. It's not pubes. I think the armpit hair should be its own thing.
Starting point is 00:19:55 It's earned the right to be a pube. No. It's not pube-like. No, the girls agree. No, yeah, that's wrong. Armpit hair is pubia. No, it's not. It's pubia.
Starting point is 00:20:04 No. But the snail trail is... Do you think the snail trail's pubes? It's in the vicinity because you would maintain at the same time. And where do you stop? But it's a different sort of hair. The snail trails are softer hair than the pube. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Yeah. Actually, if we're going on softness, the armpit hair is a lot softer than the pube. Yeah. Yeah, because it's not a pube. Because it's not a pube. It's just body hair. The armpit hair.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Do you think it's more like a long eyebrow? It's more similar to's not a pube It's just body hair Their armpit hairs It's like more like It's more similar To a leg hair Okay Just the body hair then Yeah It's just a more dense And long leg hair
Starting point is 00:20:31 I always just consider The pube hair Because it came At the same time As the pubes I can't believe You've been living your life Thinking armpit hair
Starting point is 00:20:36 Is a pubes And then body hair Comes later in the game That's quite disgusting That's quite weird I don't have pubes In my armpits dude I'm going to be embarrassed
Starting point is 00:20:44 About you guys You guys are so shy No I don't think The snail trails pubes either You don't have pubes in my armpits, dude. You guys are so shy. I don't think the snail trails pubes either. You don't because it's softer. But for me it's slightly different because it all is more connecting. Yeah, it's like a pointy up. Pointing, sort of gathering, tapering to a button. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Mine's a bit more subtle. It's there, but it's subtle. Yeah. It'd be weird if there was nothing. Oh, no, no, no. There's plenty. I've got plenty to show for. Number two on the list of the top six things hackers... You've got all that lasered. Yeah, I know.

Starting point is 00:22:01 Yeah, I did. I got told off for a lie. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six things hackers will get from the public health system are with IT professionals
Starting point is 00:22:09 losing their jobs in our public health system. If your dad is really your dad. Ooh. Do you think the doctor knows that even if you don't? Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Blood types and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I do know. And the fact that some people look nothing like their dads. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:25 There's no doubt with you. We all here look like our fathers. Yes, 100%. Yeah. But you don't actually look anything like your mum, Fletch. And I'm just saying. Prove it. Prove it.
Starting point is 00:22:36 She's your mum. Prove she's your mum. That is today's Top 6. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. So, yeah, last week we talked about, or was it earlier this week? I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Time's a construct. It's all merging into one. Time is a societal construct. Previously on FVHZM, one, we were laughing out louder, and two, we were talking about Billboard's greatest pop stars of the 21st century. They made a very comprehensive list from 100,
Starting point is 00:23:05 no, from 20 down to one. And we talked about this because Hayley Bieber was very upset that Justin Bieber got number eight on this like amazing list of people, considering he's been quite quiet for a few years. So shut up. Rihanna was third, which we were like, we agree. And then the last, when we talked about this, the top two hadn't been announced. And so we were like, we agree. And then the last, when we talked about this,
Starting point is 00:23:26 the top two hadn't been announced. And so we were like, who is it? We were like, Taylor Swift is number one. And then we were like, duh, Beyonce is number two. Yeah. It's finally come out. I don't remember being sold on the fact that Beyonce was going to be two. I definitely was, but I think.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Now he's all like. I don't, I can't remember. I was the one, remember, I was the one that said Beyonce. Yeah. Because you were all like, who could be? I was like, I can't remember. I was the one that said Beyonce. You were all like, I was like, Beyonce? It's Beyonce as number one. I guess it was just with the huge couple of years that Taylor Swift has had.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Yes, but you've got to think about from the year 2000 to now. And Beyonce was Destiny's Child. Yeah. For the early, what? When did they break up? 90s? Oh, no, they started in the 90s.
Starting point is 00:24:08 They ended like early 2000s. Early 2000s. And then her solo career just was huge through the 2010s. So they don't just look at things like record sales, but that's very much part of it, record sales. Her game-changing, some of her game changing albums like in 2013. The surprise release. Remember we were all just
Starting point is 00:24:30 at home and it just goes boop new album. And we were like what? Her doing those visual albums that were crazy. She's a business woman. She's done a million things. And so yes Taylor is probably the hottest pop star in the world right now.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Yeah. But Beyonce also did a massive world tour. Taylor Swift just was like, I'm just going to do a bigger one, sorry. I definitely like her
Starting point is 00:24:51 earlier stuff more than. So do I. I mean, the country single was good. That was different. But otherwise, I feel like the last like 10 years,
Starting point is 00:24:59 it's just been like, meh. Yeah, you're not a huge. I'm not though. It's been a bit more like artsy. Yes. It has been super like, meh. Yeah, you're not a huge. I'm not, though. It's been a bit more, like, artsy. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:06 It has been super pop mainstream. Banger-y. Yeah. Like, Crazy in Love, Halo, Naughty Girl. That was my, like, oh, my God, I love it. And this, obviously, single ladies. She was doing a Taylor Swift and doing these massive sold-out tours. Like, didn't she come here and do, like, four shows?
Starting point is 00:25:24 Yeah. I mean, she just did another world tour top of this year, end of last year. Remember with her daughter? Yeah. But it was all very, it was about like voguing and like the culture and all that kind of stuff. She didn't really sing that much on the tour.
Starting point is 00:25:37 That was my thing. She did a lot of dancing, a lot of holding the mic to the crowd. My only criticism. That's lazy. I'd do that on those high notes as well. I can see ya. Halo. Yeah. Anyway, so she's number one.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Taylor's number two. Rihanna number three. And Justin Bieber's number eight. Boo hoo. And yeah, sadly actually, Vaughn, Lincoln Park did not make. Yeah, no Lincoln Park there for you. I know that you're really upset by that.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Unbelievable. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly Little Poe. Silly Little Poe. Silly Little Poe. Silly Little Poe. Silly Little Poe today singing along during a movie at the cinemas. Now, this is off the back of Wicked. Because most musical movies that come out, if they're not based on Broadway, you don't know the songs until they're sort of on digital streaming and stuff. Did you know any of the songs in Moana 2?
Starting point is 00:26:44 Nope. Because the BBC asked Dwayne The Rock Johnson at the preview of Moana 2 what he thought of singing at the cinemas. And he's like, all for it. I know, but that's more of a child's film. This is like, if you're into Wicked, you're into Wicked. And there's this one very famous note,
Starting point is 00:27:04 which is like, and everyone's like waiting for it. And then all like bellowing it at the same time. You're like, no, but we want to, the Cynthia's voice is the one that has to do that. Yeah, I think you've got to wait until these special Wicked sing-along screenings. Sing-along specials. A lot of them are doing those.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Back in the day, we went to a Moana sing-along, but no one was singing along. Oh, shame. It was just Moana back in the cinemas and no one was singing along. Kiwis are too reserved for that. Yeah, we're too self-aware. Yeah. So I actually know someone that went to Wicked on the weekend,
Starting point is 00:27:32 and I was talking to her before she went, and I said, do you think you'll sing along? Because she's a massive Wicked fan. Yeah. And she's like, I'm kind of hoping so. And afterwards she said, it certainly wasn't singing along mood. Yeah. It was shush and enjoy it. Yeah, shush and. Yeah. It was shush and enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Yeah, shush and enjoy. I'm a shush and enjoy place. There'll be ones where you can go back and sing along. Sing along during a movie at the cinemas. 86% of people said no, please be quiet. It's still a lot more than I thought would say yes. Yeah. 14% said yes, sing along at the movies.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Eesh. 14% said yes Sing along at the movies Ish Unless it's a sing along showing Please lip sync with the rest of us muggles Says Lottie Just lip sync along We're all impressed you know all the lyrics Well done you Oh you went to Broadway So did we all
Starting point is 00:28:23 I said no Said Melissa but in an ideal world, it would be yes. But it is no. Yeah. Marama says, do it at home, please. Even if you're a mean singer, I want to listen to the actor who has been selected from thousands of people to be the person to sing it on film. Yes, exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Gabby said, I sing along quietly. I don't even know I'm doing it most of the time. I've got no filter when it comes to singing. Yeah, right. Quietly or lip-syncing? That's fine with me. Lip-sync it. I'm absolutely the sort of person that will sing at a musical. Mamma Mia, Grease, Dirty Dancing and now Wicked.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Now Jess said that and if I could just get you to pump the brakes, Jess. Mamma Mia, Grease and Dirty Dancing, I can understand old movies. So if they're in the cinemas, it's like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. If you go and see that on the thing. We're seeing in the time warp. And you throw things. There's a whole lot of lore around Rocky Horror that if you're going to go see it in the cinema, you've got to do it.
Starting point is 00:29:20 And I agree with those other ones, but Wicked still too new. Yeah. Still too new. I didn't pay to hear karaoke, said Sophie. No one pays to do it. And I agree with those other ones, but Wicked's still too new. Yeah. Still too new. I didn't pay to hear karaoke, said Sophie. No one pays to hear karaoke. No. No, you pay to do it.
Starting point is 00:29:31 You pay to, you're there, right? Yeah. God, I love karaoke. It's been too long. The only people that love karaoke are the people singing. Me.
Starting point is 00:29:39 The only people. Yeah, show ponies like you. Me. Me. Listen to how goodies like you. Me, me, me. Listen to how good I am. Kat says, any trace of other humans in the theatre, be it a chip packet, a whisper, a sing-along or some loud chewing, sends me into an irreversible fit of rage and ruins the film experience.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Yeah, I hate a Lolly Russell. I know, but sometimes you're down to the last couple of Maltesers and you really need to get in there. Brianna says, sat next to a girl at Wicked last night with no cinema etiquette. She talked through the whole thing and played on her phone. We all go in, we silently watch, we leave. End of experience. Yeah, the torch.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Just leave. If you need to be on your phone, just don't be there. It's hardly cheap to go to the movies these days. Yeah. Unless you're sneakily looking up the person that you just saw in the background that you definitely know from somewhere, you've got to open up the IMDB app and find who it was. No, you can do that later.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Everyone who voted no is a lame-o, says Kels. Okay. Kels, you might be, you're in the minority. That's a little poll. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. I, yesterday, I've mentioned this before, I've been investigating some knee pain.
Starting point is 00:30:53 And I went back to the specialist yesterday and he was like, look, we've exhausted this sort of path. That's not what's causing the problem. And he said he was enjoying it. That's, I like, that's cool. Rather than just being like, oh, look, I don't know. We've, I like, that's cool. Rather than just being like, ah, look, I don't know, we've tried everything. This doctor's like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:08 He said to me, he was like, I'm a little bit like this. And he said, I'm really kind of enjoying this. I love a challenge. I'm going to scratch my bloody head over this. Oh, that's good that he's going to, like, hopefully get to the bottom of it. Yeah, I love that. I love that.
Starting point is 00:31:17 We're on the journey together. You just get a weird, like, shooting knee pain all the time. 24-7. Yeah, right. Every minute of the day, it's going. And it's been there for three years and I've never been able to get to the bottom of it. So it's not
Starting point is 00:31:28 this... I put forward amputation. Yeah, I was for that. Do you know when it's really bad, when I feel dramatic, I was like just cut it off! Just cut it off! Imagine how cool it would be at a pirate party if you've got like a pig leg. Having a bionic leg would be pretty mean. Yeah. I'd prefer to keep my own leg, but... Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:31:44 There's more advancements than a pig leg, by the way. No, there wouldn't. No. I thought you were just saying just for the pirate party, she'd pop on a wooden leg. No, she would have it for the pirate party, but you'd keep it other times. No, no, I'd do pig leg for a party.
Starting point is 00:31:59 No, it'd be a nice rimu. I'd go one of those amazing... Varnished. There was a model who lost her leg to toxic shock syndrome and she had like a brass coloured one. She's using budget Tammys. Yeah, but probably budget Tammys. And she had a brass one.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Budget Tammys. Yeah. Never budget. Never go budget. If there's something I'm spending money on, it's high quality Tammys. Anyway, we digress as we do. So anyway, I went back to him yesterday and he was like,
Starting point is 00:32:26 I've been scratching my head, but I think it could be this. And he's looked back, I had an MRI on my spine, and he looked back and he saw, he chucked a few words around, and he was like, by the way, this is not dramatic. And I'm making it quite dramatic. He was like, this is very in keeping with a healthy spine of a woman your age, by which he means extremely young
Starting point is 00:32:42 and only in the first quarter of your life. Late 20s. Late 20s, at the most. At the most. He said, I see one of your lower discs is bulging slightly. He's got a bulging disc. He's got a bulging disc. And then he looked through another bit and he was like, that's a little bit of... And I was like, what's that? And he was like, well, look, it's
Starting point is 00:32:57 arthritis. But he's like, but it's normal. It's the kind of arthritis. He's like, I've got it, she's got it. Everyone gets this. Because it's not arthritis. You always assume, or people assume it's for like old people. But it's not. Or like that it's associated with deep pain. I don't have any pain in my back. I've got pain in my knee.
Starting point is 00:33:12 But this could be a combination of things that are pushing and causing this knee pain. And so that bulging disc on your spine. Pushing against a nerve. Oh, and that could be causing the pain. Could be. Now that's the path of investigation to go down for the next however long. But, you know, no matter when a doctor says to you, by the way, this isn't serious, it's very in keeping.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Like, this is a very normal thing that happens. I was like, arthritis, a bulging disc. I've got a bad back. I've got a bad back. I'm 35. That's it. I'm old. I felt so old suddenly.
Starting point is 00:33:40 And he could see it in my eye being like, no, no, no, no, no. This is not a big deal. Spiraling. She's spiraling. She's spiraling. I'm old. I'm old, I've got to write a will. What shall I leave my children I haven't had? I want to know what made you feel old this week because I've been doing a bit of heavy lifting at home
Starting point is 00:33:57 and you do, you just feel it in the knees. You feel it in the back a little bit. You just start to feel things. Or maybe it was just a look in the mirror. Maybe it was, I don't know, something that made you feel old. You didn't get a reference. I've got two things.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Okay, and this is good because this is going to make you feel better, Hayley. Because we all go through this. Regardless if you're in your teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, and above, you always just are panicking about turning old. Jennifer Coolidge was 38 when she played Stifler's mum. You're older than that. I'm 42.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Yeah. Soon to be 43. She was 38 when she played Stifler's mum. And in the original American Pie, which came out 25 years ago, we were all like, she's old. She's hot, but she's old. And she's not. She was only 38 and that's young.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Yeah. That's young these days. Yeah. And the other thing was that kid, Sophia Grace, that went on Alan and sung Nicki Minaj. The British chick. The British girl. Super bass.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That little one that's like, hey, come on. What was her little sidekick's name? Did we talk to her? I feel like way back in the day we interviewed her. Yeah. And she's just had, or having her second baby. What?
Starting point is 00:35:03 I know, sir. She is mother times two. So she would have been, like, because we would have, that would have been nine years ago, ten years ago. Ten years ago. So she, yeah, she would have been ten. Super bass, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Ten years ago. I know, wow. Hello, Ellen, how are you? She was that little mouthy kid and now she's about to have her second. She used to sing super bass. It just makes you feel old. Yeah, maybe it's
Starting point is 00:35:27 something like that. You saw something in the news and you're like, what? I see this a lot on Instagram, women being like, I'm the age of the golden
Starting point is 00:35:32 girls. You know, like Betty White and stuff when they did that old show. And everyone was like, oh, they were elderly in that.
Starting point is 00:35:38 They were early 50s. Oh, wow. Yeah, Bea Arthur was like the oldest one and she was older than the woman that was playing
Starting point is 00:35:44 the oldest one. Yeah. Wild. I know. Okay, well, let's make Hayley feel better. Yeah. Yeah, Bea Arthur was like the oldest one and she was older than the woman that was playing the oldest one. Yeah. Wild. I know. Okay, well, let's make Hayley feel better. Yes. Because of her bad back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Yeah. What made you feel old recently? 0800 DALZITM is the number. Give us a text. 9696. It's almost to the day 25 years since Toy Story 2 came out. No, it's not. That was 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:36:04 What made you feel old recently? Some great messages coming in. My brother-in-law just texted me. He's a teacher, high school teacher. Year nine student just told him that he was born in the olden days. Remember when you used to say that to your parents? Back in the olden days. And when my brother-in-law Matthew was like, no, he wasn't,
Starting point is 00:36:20 the student scientifically calculated to be like technically yes you were have you seen that video where they talk to like NFL draft picks like the most athletic people on the world they do NBA draft picks and they're like okay so what would it take for someone to be considered old what year would they have to have been born and they're just all of them
Starting point is 00:36:40 like 2000 yeah anything before 2000 anything that starts in 19 and I'm just like. Anything that starts in 19. And I'm just like, wild. Anything that starts in 19. Come here, you young whippersnapper. Did your brother-in-law instantly fail that kid? Yeah, he's been kicked out of the school, I believe. Yeah, he's been removed.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Good. Maddie joins us. Maddie, what made you feel old this week? The TikTok comments saying that people don't know that Harry Styles was in One Direction. Oh, yeah, because they would just think of him with a solo career. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's where he started as a young man.
Starting point is 00:37:11 He's not even that old. Wait, how old is he now? How old is Harry? Like 31 or 30. Maddie, do you know that Justin Timberlake was part of a boy band? I did know that. Okay, good. I was just checking because I was going back a generation for boy bands.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Yeah, just making sure. Making sure. Yeah, just making sure. That would be slightly hypocritical. Maddie, thank you. Emma, what made you feel old this week? I bent down to pat my cat and scared her off with the crunching sound of my knees. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:37:43 The cat's like, what was that? It's just creaking. Primal wiring thinks it's a rattlesnake or something. Yeah. Yeah, I'm only 36. And that is extremely young. Oh my god. 36 is the new 26, okay?
Starting point is 00:37:59 We agree, Emma? I agree. Yeah, go, go, go. It's more creaky than 26. What do you take for creaky joints? It's creaky 26. Which has got so many vitamins on his bench and I'm imagining he's got a vitamin for creaky joints. Have you got a joint supplement? Yeah, take a joint supplement. What's a joint supplement? Glucosamine. Yeah, something like that.
Starting point is 00:38:16 I lubricate everything with coffee. That's about the size of it. You know, that's probably not helping your hormones. It's probably dehydrating you. Thanks Emma. Thanks, Emma. Some messages in. My daughter was doing my face paint and she asked me if I wanted my receding hairline painted in.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Oh. How dare you. I had to stop myself from calling her a little bitch. Yeah. Did you grant? I hope she was grounded for like a month. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Grey hair.
Starting point is 00:38:39 I found grey hair at 33 gave me a hot flush of fear. Well, see, that's something you guys have to look forward to in the next few years. I haven't had one yet. That'll be a big day. I might take that day off. A student asked me how old I am, and I said, none of your business, because I'm a mature, respectful teacher.
Starting point is 00:38:55 They went on to guess that I was, one said 35, one said 38, and one said just before 40, I'm 25. Oh! I know, but they think you're an adult. You know, they think that you're the senior authority there. I just got back as a parent volunteer, three days at school camp with a bunch of 10-year-olds. Getting called sir makes me feel old like nothing else has.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Sigma Riz, Ohio. Yes, Sigma Riz. I think she's. Yeah, your dad's got the Sigma Riz. I didn't love being called ma'am or like when people would say, ask the lady when I worked in retail when I was like 19.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Ask the lady. I was like, excuse me? I'm a girl? Someone said, what made me feel old this week? My son turned 35. Yeah, that must blow your mind. What the actual hell? Louise messaged in,
Starting point is 00:39:43 I used to run 70 to 100 kilometers a week yeah um now i have a bulging disc too and i can run five kilometers once a week and i get off the bus like a creaking galleon i love that description a big wooden pirate ship yeah and you know oh yes yes louise you might have a bulging disc and creak like a galleon, but you've certainly not lost any of your poetic. Yeah. You might actually be coming into your poetic era. Yeah. That's lovely.
Starting point is 00:40:10 I went to bed early, no wine, had an amazing eight and a half hour sleep, woke up exhausted, just turned 30. I'm a youth health nurse. A teen was talking about an all black spring box game. And I said, I was lucky enough to watch one in person. He asked if I was at one of the apartheid riots. I'm 28. Oh.
Starting point is 00:40:31 No, I wasn't there. No, I wasn't even alive. I felt old when telling one of the young girls at work that I was excited to go see the Venga Boys, and she asked me, what's a Venga Boy? Oh. The Venga Bus is coming. Yeah, the Venga Bus is coming.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Get on board. Everybody's jumping. I said, where does it take us? New York to San Francisco. Yeah, the finger bus is coming. Get on board. Everybody's jumping. I was like, where does it take us? New York to San Francisco. Okay. A never-ending disco. I don't know. I'm too young to know what everybody's talking about.
Starting point is 00:40:52 The traffic lights are bumping and everybody's jumping. So if you come to party, come on and move your body. For God's sake. Somebody said the fact that it's 45 years since Mount Erebus and I can remember that. Bryn just said it on the news. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was what they said hearing that this morning.
Starting point is 00:41:04 45 years and I can remember it happening. I was like, that on the news. Yeah, yeah. That was what they said, hearing that this morning, 45 years, and I can remember it happening. I was like, that simply can't be right. Crazy. Someone called me a fire, and I'm 36, gave me a heart attack. You know, like fire, like the Maori term of like a leader. You're like, oh, my God, how dare you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:19 I don't know what I'm doing. I'm a child. The little baby that played Good Luck Charlie on Disney Channel is now 15 years old and that just doesn't add up at all. Oh my God, I went out to da clubs.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Oh no, dad will make you feel old. Yeah, don't do that. Going to da clubs makes you feel real old. Walking down, whenever we were in Wellington, we walked down Courtney Place
Starting point is 00:41:41 and you're like, oh God, go home, all of you, grow up. You're like, this was you not so long ago, babe. Play ZM, all of you, grow up. You're like, this was you not so long ago, babe.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Now listen to this storyline for a Christmas film called Christmas in the Spotlight and see if it sounds familiar. Okay. Christmas in the Spotlight follows the love story
Starting point is 00:42:00 of a mega pop star and a football player, both trying to navigate their feelings for each other amidst intense scrutinisation. Yeah, it's ringing very close to Taylor Swift. It's Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. And so apparently this movie, which is a Lifetime movie,
Starting point is 00:42:19 which is like, it's your American kind of daytime cheesy films that just look dreadful. Low budget. Low budget. You never know any of the actors in these films. You won't know a single person like Jessica Lord or Laith Welsh-Schlager who play, I'll say it, Taylor and Travis.
Starting point is 00:42:37 They don't go by those names, obviously. I really hope that Taylor Swift does an interview and says that they've sat down to watch this and then give their review of it because that would make my day. So there was a journalist who watched this and they made 62 unfiltered thoughts I had while watching it. The first one being that this is an hour and a half I spent watching this and I'll never get back. And it basically, apparently one of the worst parts of this film is that they use lines from Taylor Swift songs as dialogue. Like they're chucking in like references to her music as dialogue. I guess, I mean, what are the copyright laws around this? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:20 I hate it. Are you kidding me? Carwin just messaged me. It's got a 7.1 out of 10 on IMDb. What? No, because it's all you crazy Swifties. You're five star bombing it. You'll just slap it up.
Starting point is 00:43:34 You're review bombing it. You're review bombing it up. No, because it's... You're anti-bombing. You're anti-review bombing. Yeah. No, because I feel like a lot of us Swifties will be like, this is a bit cringe.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Yeah. But maybe it's good cringe. Like, who doesn't love a good cringe? We've already made plans to watch it together. Yeah, I mean, it'll be such a fun day. If you had some drinks on board, maybe. But so that starts off with this pop star singing. She's got blonde hair with waves in it.
Starting point is 00:43:59 With singing a Taylor-inspired, like, Taylor-styled song, which is apparently so bad. Right. She, yeah, writes all these jokes about being single and like all of her songs are about being single and like looking for love. It is just absolutely terrible. The movie, Travis has the number 13 jumper on.
Starting point is 00:44:22 He looks nothing like Travis, but he's sort of like D grade. Right. Shall we say? Are we going to have the chance to see this in New Zealand? Well, I was trying to look as to where we can find it. I mean, you could probably download it from somewhere. I mean, I'm not going to watch that, but... Why are you asking?
Starting point is 00:44:38 Because it really feels like... Well, I said I'm not watching that Snowman movie. Somebody messaged in saying it's so bad they couldn't even finish it. Wait, this or the Snowman one? The Snowman one. Yeah, yeah, I said I'm not watching that snowman movie. Somebody messaged in saying it's so bad they couldn't even finish it. Wait, this or the snowman one? The snowman one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the snowman that, by the way, if you haven't seen, it comes alive and is like a hot guy with abs.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Is a hot guy with abs. Yeah. And the lead person is the actress that played Gretchen Wiener on Mean Girls. Yeah. I've heard that it's actually quite delightful. Somebody's just messaged in, have you seen the trailer for the Robbie Williams biopic where he's a monkey?
Starting point is 00:45:08 I saw... No. Have you not seen the poster? And he's a monkey man. And I'm like, why is he a monkey man? I'm a huge Robbie Williams fan. Is he a monkey man for the whole documentary? Better Man, one of his songs.

See Robbie Williams as a CGI monkey in first trailer for Biopic. What? He's a monkey? Oh my God, he's a monkey. For the whole movie? I don't know. Oh no, that's also a movie I won't be watching.
Starting point is 00:45:34 The pop singer's portrayed by a CGI monkey follows Williams as he goes from a fractious childhood to boy band success and then solo superstardom. As a monkeyom as a monkey as a monkey along the way the film reportedly doesn't flinch
Starting point is 00:45:48 from depicting his animal side including drug problems and repellent star behaviour sounds like whoever made that was on drugs yes put down the pipe

We've done it before and we've also been horrifically way off course. Way off. Ashley joins us. Good morning, Ashley.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Good morning. Okay. How are you this morning, Ashley? I'm getting a real administration tone from that voice. Are you? Interesting. That's not a question, though. That's not a question.
Starting point is 00:46:52 How are you, Ashley? How's the week been? This isn't a question either. I'm good, thank you. It's been busy. Busy. Busy because admin. Busy this time of year.
Starting point is 00:47:00 End of year wrap up. Yeah. I'm going to go first if I may. Do you work in a female-dominant industry? No. Oh. Straight in. So it's a male-dominated industry.
Starting point is 00:47:12 It's 50-50 or it's a male-dominated industry. Okay. Interesting. Okay. Oh, I don't want to go last. She's not early childhood. You'd say that's a female-dominated industry, wouldn't you? Yep.

That's a female-dominated industry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. Ashley, do you work predominantly behind a computer? No.
Starting point is 00:47:42 Oh. She's a tradie. Yeah, for sure she's working in the trades, eh? Should I ask that and then we'll just guess? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We need to narrow it down more. Let's assume it's in the trades. We need to narrow it down.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Your question needs to narrow down what trade? What kind of trade? Oh, no. Like, do you use a hammer? Most trades would at some stage use a hammer. Don't laugh at me. I say do you use a hammer? Most trades would at some stage use a hammer. Don't laugh at me. I say do you use a hammer? Don't answer that.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Imagine if she said yes. Yeah. We'd know, wouldn't we? Okay. Yeah, definitely. Do you reckon she's like a sparky? What about do you wear high-vis? No, because all tradies wear high-vis.
Starting point is 00:48:21 I'm not sold on the tradies. Maybe like construction? Or like road traffic? Yeah, or trucking. That's a male dominant, isn't it? Oh, yeah, look. What about... We almost need to give ourselves more than three questions.
Starting point is 00:48:36 We're getting worse at this game, Ashley. I think we're onto something here. I think we need to narrow down a trade. Okay. Shut up, Ashley. Shut up. You shut your mouth. Maybe ask if she works
Starting point is 00:48:50 on the road? Nah, because most tradies travel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're all traveling. And on the road wouldn't eliminate any water. It would just muddy the waters.
Starting point is 00:49:01 I reckon ask her if she works in the trades and we'll just take a stab. Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. Do you work in the trades? Wait, just take a stab. Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. Do you work in the trades? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Shut up, Ashley.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Do you work in one of the big three trades? Plumbing, electricity or building? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Do you? Yep, that one.
Starting point is 00:49:14 No. Oh, shit. She doesn't work in one of the big... It's trucking then. She couldn't even be... Yeah, it is trucking. She might not even be
Starting point is 00:49:19 in the trades. She's not in the trades. Yeah, but she could be in one of the little trades. Trucking. Well, you're saying Thailand. Trucking. 100%. Do you work in transport?
Starting point is 00:49:31 No, that's not a shot the heller. We've asked our questions, right? Yeah, now we need to guess our job. Do you work in transportation? I think we'll say trucking. Do you work in trucking? No. Oh, shit. We. Do you work in trucking? No. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:49:46 We got excited. What do you do? What do you do? What's your jobby? I'm a house painter. Oh, my God. So good. See, that was the other trade.
Starting point is 00:49:56 It's one of the trades. It's one of the second tier trades. I wouldn't say painting's one of the big... Oh, you're probably right, actually. Yeah, of course I'm right, because everything needs to be painted. Where do you stop? Gyp-stopping?
Starting point is 00:50:09 Is that one of the big four trades? Plastering? Ashley... Tiling? Is that one of the big six trades? Well, we do... Yeah, Ashley, do you do wallpapering as well? No, I don't do wallpapering.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Yeah, just outside. How much for a cash job to paint a horrible orange 80s brick house? Get your own quote on your own time. I'm going to get a quote while she's here. And of course she would be paying tax for it and you would be too. Yes, of course. Ashley, sorry we couldn't guess your job there.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Unfortunately, going home empty handed today. Well, she's not going empty handed because she's got a lovely trade. She does. She does. Grace, do you insist? We're going to have another shot at this. Come on. Grace, good morning.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Good morning. How are you guys? Really good. Grace, do you wear a uniform? Yes. Great question straight out the gate. I want to ask my question from the first round again. Am I allowed to do that?
Starting point is 00:51:01 Yeah, mate. You can do whatever you want. Do you work in a female-dominated industry? Definitely not. Definitely not. Oh, okay. And in a uniform. So a male-dominated industry uniform.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Oh, wait, are you second-guessing that, Grace? The job in general, I guess, is just would be 50-50 but like my specific like part is very male dominated Yeah right right right
Starting point is 00:51:31 got ya Oh okay Let's just say no it's not like gender dominated Yeah Okay Yeah but she
Starting point is 00:51:37 I say oh my god that's really thrown me Has it okay Because do you think it could be working in medicine She also said the job she also said the trade job.
Starting point is 00:51:45 So she almost said the trade. Shit, we've got another trade. No, not trade. Hey, shut up. Oh, okay. I misheard. Shut up, that's a little bonus clue. That was a freebie.
Starting point is 00:51:53 That's why I was thinking medicine, because, you know, that's not a gender-dominated thing, as you're saying, but maybe one area of it is. Nursing, I'd say, was still female-dominated. Yes, but anaesthetists. What about x-ray urologists? My experience with females. X-rays, more females.
Starting point is 00:52:14 I've had a lot of male specialists. You know, maybe she's a, maybe. Okay, do you work in the medical industry? No. Okay, well, well, God. Now we're taking that. We're taking that. That's what we're staring at now. Where's a uniform? Where well, God. Where's the uniform?
Starting point is 00:52:26 Where's the uniform? Where's the uniform? Okay, hang on. It's not a medicine. That's what we've... Her area of this industry isn't particularly female driven.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Okay, come on. But the industry on a whole is a bit more... So flowers were out. I think, oh, maybe she's a chef. If I can give you guys a hint. No, we're not. I played this game with you guys in one of the first times you did it. Wait, are you a repeat caller? What did we not guess at the first time?
Starting point is 00:52:59 And you did not guess it last time. Oh, shit. I love that you're just. I reckon she's a chef. Or a cook. Uniform? They wear a uniform. Uniform? And is that...
Starting point is 00:53:09 And hospitality isn't... Yeah, but then what is her speciality that she says isn't... The kitchen. The kitchen. Oh God. Oh God. Well, Hayley, you've got... Okay, Grace.
Starting point is 00:53:22 One guess. Oh. Are you... Oh. Are you... Oh. Are you a butcher? No. I just went left. I went rogue.
Starting point is 00:53:33 What are you? What's your job be? I'm a sales rep, and I work in, like, agriculture. Oh, God. Oh, okay. You know what? I'm going to tell you, we would have never got that, Grace. We'd, yeah. We're sort of better when you're in touch.
Starting point is 00:53:47 I wouldn't even bother calling again for a third time. We're not going to guess that a third time, Grace. If you rang next week and said, it's Grace again, we'd all be like, oh, no, we forgot. Shit, what was it? Is she a butcher? I just opened the text machine because some people listening have got far better memories.
Starting point is 00:54:03 And then they'll be like, it's me, it's the agricultural salesperson. Well, unfortunately, Grace going home empty-handed and nobody winning this week's What's Your Jobby? So we'll come back for a crack, I'm sure, before Christmas. But Grace, if you've got any freebies rocking around in fertiliser for a guy with a big paddock? I work in fertiliser and I've called before and you always ask for freebies. I know. What a day. He's such a scab.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Do you know how expensive it is? He wants people to do tax-free cash painting jobbies. And free fertilizer. Free fertilizer samples. He's an absolute scab. God, just pay for it yourself, you scab. Yeah, but the problem is everyone else that buys fertilizer are running, like, a productive farm where they've got costs and they've got profits. I'm just a straight hole in the ground when it comes to costs.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Oh, shut up. Ornamental cattle. We're making no money off them. When you've got an Instagram property. That's right. Grace, are you feeling pity for Vaughan and his lifestyle block? No, I'm not. Yep.
Starting point is 00:55:00 I'm paying city rates. I'm paying city rates without city services. And I'm living about it. Play'm paying city rates without city services. And I'm living about it. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Here are some of the contenders for word of the year for dictionary.com. Now, Oxford, Collins. Oh, they'll all start trickling out.

Starting point is 00:56:09 Saying of the year. That's right, actually. We'll send them a strongly worded email. One word, ex-with. Ex-with. And then that's like a new one word that means extreme weather. We're expecting ex-with. Now, their word of the year
Starting point is 00:56:25 was, went huge maybe a few months ago after a video from an influencer went very viral. It went very viral, very mindful,
Starting point is 00:56:37 very demure. Oh, very mindful. Demure. Yeah. Yeah. That was TikTok of Jules Lebrun.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Remember she said that? Look how I do my makeup for work. Very mindful, very demure. And everyone was like, oh my God, demure is such a great way of describing being like modest and shy. Yeah. And then she didn't copyright anything and everyone kind of made money off of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Real stupid because very mindful, very demure was everywhere for like two weeks. Yeah. Everyone was saying, oh my gosh. Missed the boat. I love that drink bottle. Very mindful, very demure. But people are so quick on that. People see a video and they're like, oh, I might copyright a trademark.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Yeah, hoak tua, like all that. That just goes so quick. Pookie. Pookie, that's the guy who shows off his wife's outfits. Looking good, Pookie. And now that's like a huge word that everyone's using. Anyway, demure, that's their word of the year. I never really got into it.
Starting point is 00:57:31 I sort of buck trends. I'm sort of alternative like that. Right, you're different. I'm still a goth at heart. I'm different and unique. People say I have a unique voice as well. Right. I don't want a life.

Starting point is 00:57:51 Yeah. I use that word all the time. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Yesterday, I was walking home after work, and I crossed the road to avoid something. What did you avoid? What do I cross the road? Sometimes, yeah, people loosely know whose name I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:58:07 And you just can't be bothered. You're not in the mood for a conversation. You're just like, oh. No, there was the one news. There was a reporter from One News and a cameraman doing those Vox Pops. On the street. On the street asking people questions. And there was no one else coming towards them except me.
Starting point is 00:58:22 I was about to say lazy because it was probably right outside TVNZ, but then I think everybody at TVNZ has got five jobs now. Yeah, they're not lazy. Not lazy, just doing the best they could with the time they had. Whenever they need reaction from the street, they just walk down to Queen Street in Auckland. What's your take on it? What's your take on this? I think that they've gone
Starting point is 00:58:39 on too long. And I've had a bad track record with these things. I've been on the news before. Have you? You remember the sausages? Yeah, Campbell Live was raising some money and I gave a very articulate answer about our support for the Samoan
Starting point is 00:58:56 rugby team who I thought had been unjustly stung with a fine and then Fletch said, I love sausages. I love sausages. Well, I didn't, there was nothing more to add. Hot take. Vaughan had already given a hot take. Gosh. And then I just, said, I like sausages. I like sausages. I love, well, I didn't, there was nothing more to add. Hot take. Vaughan had already given a hot take and then I just,
Starting point is 00:59:08 yeah, I love sausages and that was the bit they used. I mean, sausages rule. The sausages, and I was also asked in Melbourne once, I think I've talked about this,
Starting point is 00:59:16 they were doing a piece about the public transport because they all hate the public transport over there. Yeah, right. But coming from New Zealand, I was like, it's great.
Starting point is 00:59:23 And I was the only person on the news that was like, it's great. And I was the only person on the news that was like, this is great. And they're like, oh, I was that one person. I've never been asked.
Starting point is 00:59:30 I've never been approached. Maybe I'm a minger. They don't want me on the news. I think that's the thing. Like, they definitely always choose attractive people. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:59:37 they choose the hotties. They choose the hotties. That's crazy. David Farrier, when he was a reporter on three news would come quite a bit. he'd come and talk to us about weird youth stuff
Starting point is 00:59:47 yeah because you guys were the reporters on what happened with the youth but there was planking he talked to us about planking
Starting point is 00:59:52 that's right planking and everyone's like why are these kids doing it it must be the drugs and it wasn't it was just like no it's just
Starting point is 00:59:57 trends and the other one was there was this thing doing the rounds that if you listen to a certain sound on headphones, it'll make you trip, like trip out.
Starting point is 01:00:07 Oh, wow. And parents were like, oh my God, the kids are on audio drugs now. And he asked us and we listened to it and we were like, well, it's just the sound, isn't it? Yeah. I think it's just that hyped up thing when something hits the internet and parents panic. Yeah. I don't even know what the reporter was asking people, but I was like, I don't want to be like, because I was like, what if it's a big
Starting point is 01:00:27 question like, you know, the war or Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, a political thing. I was like, I don't want to be like put on the spot. What's your stance on this? On David Seymour's treaty bill? Yeah, but like, I don't know, put him down? Put against it. Yeah. Put him down. Euthanise it? Euthanise it?
Starting point is 01:00:43 Because isn't he for euthanising himself? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and I'd say that. You have a dumb take on a hot political issue. Yeah, and then like, oh, then I'm the news. It's like, no, no, no. So I just cross the road. But this is what I thought we could ask this morning is what did you say on the news?
Starting point is 01:00:57 Were you one of these like, they call them vox pops, don't they? Did you comment, I don't know, give some commentary on something? Yeah, yeah're great. And what was it about? Because I know Shannon, we've spoken about this in the past. You were one of these. Yeah, when I was about seven, we were protesting against orange ruffy trawling.
Starting point is 01:01:15 Who was? My school. Oh, okay. But like us kids were like. It's nice to get behind a chorus. What was the teacher like? Kind of getting some numbers up. Yeah, so then the weird thing was
Starting point is 01:01:25 is once we finished the protest we went back to the classroom and she's like here, enjoy and it was an orange ruffy. We ate one.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Why? I don't get it. It was so bizarre. Also, why would you eat that yuck fish? No, it was yum as. No, orange ruffy's yum as. That's why it's endangered
Starting point is 01:01:38 because it's too delicious for its own good. I have to do the chant on the news. Stop bottom trawling. It's appalling. Had the teacher caught an orange ruffian
Starting point is 01:01:49 on a line? I don't know how they caught it. And was just like, it's okay if we eat them with their line. It's the trawling that's the problem.
Starting point is 01:01:55 I don't know what the word trawling means but it's stuck with me. Right. Even to this day you don't know what bottom trawling is. No.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Is that like a comment? Well trawling is just a ship moves towing a massive net right and just catching everything. Oh. Is that like a comment? Well, trawling is just a ship moves towing a massive net right and just catching everything behind it. Isn't that just fishing? Wait.
Starting point is 01:02:10 No. What's the type of fishing? Maybe this is off air. It's just taking too much. It's really bad for the bottom of the seabed. Oh, it's appalling, yeah. It's appalling.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Yeah, stop bottom trawling. It's appalling. As you were chanting on the news. So, okay, this is what I want to do this morning because we can relive these amazing times when you had your two seconds on the news. So, okay, this is what I want to do this morning because we can relive these amazing times
Starting point is 01:02:26 when you had your two seconds on the news. 0800 dials at MSN number. You can text through 9696. I just remembered there was a hostage situation in Morrinsville when I was an intermediate. This guy walked through the florist and took them home. Was this a guy that was like, I'm not coming out until Holmesy comes here.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Yeah, the equivalent now of saying, I'm not coming out until Holmesy comes here? Yeah. The equivalent now of saying, I'm not leaving this florist until you fly Jeremy Wells and Hilary Barry down. Yeah. Yeah. Dare I say Holmes at seven was slightly harder hitting the seven shot? I won't have that.
Starting point is 01:02:56 I won't have that. Well, they caught it, and then there was like, they were, obviously the local news people got there before, and I always remember there was this old guy, and they were like, what do you think of this situation?
Starting point is 01:03:05 He was just like, shoot the bastard. Oh, my God. Okay, what did you end up saying on the news? 0800-DARLS-AT-M. Call now. Text in 9696. What was your two seconds of fame? Because you avoided it yesterday.
Starting point is 01:03:20 I crossed the road. I've got a bad track record of giving poor commentary on the news. Somebody said, I can beat that, because I didn't even get to say anything on the road. I've got a bad track record of giving poor commentary on the news. Somebody said, I can beat that because I didn't even get to say anything on the news. They were doing a story about construction and used a three-second video of me in their montage. It was me trying to hit a nail with a hammer, which I missed three times. And then on the fourth, bent the nail. It sounds like they need a nail gun. They need a nail gun.
Starting point is 01:03:43 That's so shameful. Charlotte, what did you end up saying on the news? Oh, well, it was actually my husband. And we're going back about 20 years. We used to have a salmon farm down in the high country of Canterbury. How did the fish get up there? Well, we tagged it off the Rakaia River. But anyhow, there was this major bushfire in the high country around Ashburton, Western Area.
Starting point is 01:04:11 And they called in all the help they could get in the region. And so my husband was a volunteer firefighter helping out. And 6 News came and interviewed him. And they asked for, you know, how are you containing this fire? And they edited his answer that she screened on the 6pm news to, we're putting water on it. I mean, not wrong and factually correct. Actually quite accurate.
Starting point is 01:04:39 Actually very accurate. What we've decided to do today is a different approach, and we're going to try putting water on it. We'll just fan it some more. Yeah, brilliant. Charlotte, thank you. Some messages in. There's so many good ones. Somebody messaged in saying they also remember the 1994 morals for hostage
Starting point is 01:04:57 being taken and the guy in the news saying shoot the bastard and then the police did shoot the bastard. That's what they followed up. I didn't remember the end of that. Right. I knew he went but I thought he might have exploded himself. Like all the way? Huh? All the way shooting him or like injured? All the way shooting him.
Starting point is 01:05:13 All the way. All the way. I love this one. When I lived in London I was in a clothing store that Princess Catherine had worn a dress from. They asked me if I would buy and wear the dress she wore and my extremely Kiwi accent. I said, yeah, definitely. She's so stylish.
Starting point is 01:05:29 I was on the 5 p.m. news with the posh reporter and then I sounded like an unclassy Kiwi. Oh, no. My parents live on a farm and in 2010, there was a news article on a petrol station nearby that it had accidentally not increased its fuel prices. And I was studying and watching TV and my mum came on and she said that,
Starting point is 01:05:46 she later told me she'd been absolutely blindsided because she'd worked out that the fuel was cheaper. So they were down there filling up every container they had. So my mum was on the news looking like a real scab because she was like filling up milk bottles and everything.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bloody hell, I just want to get on them. Somebody said, a lot of teachers messaging in that they were out doing strikes and the news would cover the teacher strike and they'd come and talk to them, obviously, after an eloquent answer as to why they were striking, but they got stage fright and couldn't mutter much more. Does this give me more money?
Starting point is 01:06:17 Yeah. Money? I was asked to give my halftime thoughts at the football. Then they told me they couldn't possibly use the footage. Because you just gave a useless answer. I didn't have a useless answer. I had a few too many. One time the local newspaper stopped me and asked me what my favourite movie was.
Starting point is 01:06:36 I panicked and said Gangs of New York. It's a great movie. Long though. Long. They took a photo of me to publish next to my wonderful answer. I was a security guard at the Reserve Bank in Wellington during when they had their data hack. So they recorded footage of the front of the Reserve Bank
Starting point is 01:06:57 with me letting someone in and checking their ID. But now they use that footage every time the Reserve Bank has mentioned it. In the news. Last night I was on the news again because of rates cuts. Amazing. Yeah. I was 20 working at a cafe on Albert Street in the city. It was

It's just down the road from them. That's why. Yeah. Once a small fire was put out someone asked me a few questions and I came off sounding like a hero, like I was cool, calm and collected.
Starting point is 01:07:28 When in reality, once the fire started, I went to panic mode. I immediately grabbed my bag, abandoned the building, ran out thinking only of myself. But I was on the news sounding like some sort of hero. Amazing. That's so good.
Starting point is 01:07:40 Yeah. There's so many good ones. Back in 2010, I was being interviewed as part of a Korean dance group for my school at the International Dance Festival in Christchurch.

Starting point is 01:13:31 Yeah. God, you've got to get one of these calendars. For charity. For charity. Why else would you be buying it? It's exclusively for charity. I also follow the Aussie firefighters who do the Aussie firefighters calendar on Instagram. We've got some hotties in there as well.
Starting point is 01:13:44 Okay. They do with their photos, they do this thing where they stand and I don't know, it must be some kind of igniting thing and they stand there with their shirts off and they stomp on this thing and it goes whoosh and they get like engulfed in flames and then they're like, they show
Starting point is 01:13:58 the behind the scenes videos. Really? Nice. I buy those calendars for those women that are raising money for mechanics. If bornettes not. No, those are just nudies. Those are just like playboy calendars. The women that can't afford bikini tops.
Starting point is 01:14:15 They can only afford tops or bottoms. They're not raising money. And they raise money for mechanics. No, I don't think. No, it's a charity for mechanics. No, no, the firefighter ones are actually for charity. Yeah, so are mechanics. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:26 Whatever you all need to tell yourself. I hope the mechanics are doing okay. Well, they don't have nipples, you see, the mechanics. Right, okay, yeah. So they get to see the nipples and then they get to save their own nipples. Sure, okay. And then buy their own nipples. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Well, the American Fire Rescue Dogs Society, they do a calendar where they get some of the fittest firefighters from across America and they take off their shirts and raise money with these calendars. The only twist is they're holding puppets. Yeah, so it's like the next level of the calendars. Ladies that support mechanics have got puppies too. Vole puppies.
Starting point is 01:15:02 Puppy A, puppy B. So these guys, they're hot, like for sure. Do you know, I'd A, puppy B. So these guys are, they're hot like for sure. Do you know, I'd rate our Kiwi men over these guys. What about that one?
Starting point is 01:15:12 I mean that puppy, that's real, the one on the left the puppy's real cute. Can you adopt the puppies too? Is that the idea you adopt these puppies or these shelter dogs?
Starting point is 01:15:18 Well I think these puppies are training to be fire rescue puppies. You know they go into the training courses. Are they like border collies or something? Well they're all different. Those are border collies. Oh, they're so
Starting point is 01:15:28 cute. I don't know, whatever they are. What are those? Mutts, I'd say. Mutts, yeah. Do you know what they need? I feel like next year the Kiwi firefighter calendar should get kittens or puppies. Kittens. Like, you would just, you'd up
Starting point is 01:15:43 the roof, you'd go through the roof in sales because not only you've got a market of people that want hot fireman calendars, then you've got people that want, because how many mums have cat calendars? Heaps. Heaps. And cats.
Starting point is 01:15:57 I love cats. Golden retriever calendars. Yes. Mums and nans love a cat calendar. Also, they, you know know, if you were wearing, they've got their firefighter trousers on, and where you would maybe see usually a jockey or a Calvin Klein popping up the top,
Starting point is 01:16:12 they're wearing custom undies that say hashtag help puppies because they know where the eyes are going. We're studying the biceps, and then we're shooting down to see if there's any kind of shadowing. And they've written their message of hashtag help puppies. Right. So you can buy this calendar, but I recommend getting the Kiwi Firefighters calendar. Yeah. Because one... Well, you were saying the guys
Starting point is 01:16:30 are hotter. I think just for me, the guys are hotter in the Kiwi calendar. But then there are cute puppies in that one. I know. Well, now that we're friends, because you do know that the Kiwi Firefighters calendar, Instagram, they follow me on Instagram. Maybe. I don't think those are those specific firefighters
Starting point is 01:16:45 that were in here. I think that's the organiser. Yeah, they came in and they were like, hot damn, you think we're hot? Did you see that one in there? Yeah. Could you see that chick? I don't know if they were saying that.
Starting point is 01:16:54 Hot damn, they said, hot damn, I gotta see more. This is the female equivalent of when you're a male and you think the waitress is flirting with you, but she's just doing her job. They're just being nice. They clearly were. But maybe I could reach out to my new personal friends. God, if they calm down enough for me to get a word in
Starting point is 01:17:11 and suggest to them puppies and kittens. Add some puppies and kittens. See, you do it as some sort of charity thing.

So this is a Netflix thing called A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter, and it looks like a very jolly, fun, great... I wonder how horny it's going to be, because if you've listened to that album... I know. And the singles themselves. And when she performs, there's one moment in a song
Starting point is 01:18:05 where each time she walks to the front of the stage and the moment the song happens and she gets on she does a very sexually explicit pose
Starting point is 01:18:11 I might not watch this because you know I'm waiting until marriage yeah I know that's why he's still a virgin that might get me as we established a couple of weeks ago
Starting point is 01:18:20 45 years in shocking news Fletch is still a virgin and he's waiting for the one so I might skip this because you know yeah I'm like a PG of weeks ago. 45. And shocking news, Fletch is still a virgin and he's waiting for the one. So I might skip this because, you know, yeah, I'm like a PG, kind of G-rated

Starting point is 01:18:49 Because how tall is Sabrina Carpenter? Five foot. Oh, wow. Okay. At a stretch. Shania Twain. Oh. Is going to be on.
Starting point is 01:18:58 Do you remember when she commented on our TikTok this year? Oh, my God. I know. Like, was that just the biggest? When you committed one of the greatest hate crimes of all time and talked over Let's Go Girls. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:19:17 like a sore thumb. Sean Astin. Samwise Gamgee from the Lord of the Rings movies. What's he doing there? Is she a Lord of the Rings fan? I don't know. Is he playing?
Starting point is 01:19:26 He might have reached the age where he can play Santa. Oh, shut up. Perhaps. No. Oh my God, you're right. I just saw a photo of her sitting on Santa's lap and it's him. Is it him? Yeah.

You've got to wonder. And you're still wearing your chapel run t-shirt a six-pack of abs. Wow. Who's making the programming decisions at Netflix, eh? Honestly. You've got to wonder.
Starting point is 01:20:06 And you're still wearing your Chapel Rowan T-shirt and getting a lot of compliments around the place. Yeah, people love the T-shirt. Yeah, they do. People do love the T-shirt. Sorry, I've tuned down. I'm actually just adding Hot Frosty to my list. Your watch list?
