The ZM Podcast Network. The Fleshporn and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleshporn and Hayley Vorn away again today, but back tomorrow. Apparently.

If we can get home. There's got some wild weather hitting the country today. Do we? Yep. Some thunderstorms, some wind. Well, that's no good. I'm just looking up our Paralympians on Paralympics.org. We have, is it 45?

25. 25 athletes and 45 staff. 41 staff. Were you just listening to Bryn? He just said the numbers. I heard 40-ish. Show the man some respect. Because at 5.55, so about seven minutes ago,

the opening ceremonies kicked off. I want to watch that. I want to watch the highlights. Good stuff. Good luck to all about Paralympics. Paralympics? Paralympians. Paralympics.

Paralympics. It's a new name I've given them. Coming up on the show, the top six is an increasing trend overseas. I don't know if, I haven't seen it happen here, but a lot of overseas, some bars and restaurants are introducing like age restrictions. Yeah, so it's not the legal age, like 18 or 21. They want to be like, this is a classy joint, 25. Yeah, or like 30.

Yeah. It's like, okay. Yeah. Wow. I've got the top six other places that need an age limit. Now, this could be controversial. Well, come at me. It's okay.

Come at me. If you want to cancel anyone, it's Hayley. Yeah, I'm ready for it today. Silly little poll in just a couple of minutes as well. Do you call your pet your baby? No. This is a big no from me. I love him

but I'll never be like my child This is my child My little boy I'm a cat parent I mean judgment free We're not judging anyone I'm surprised by the results

We'll get into those in just a couple of minutes There was a woman who was taken on ACC for a good reason, I'd say. Oh, absolutely. She did it alone, and she has won. Lovely Susan Peake. She's a 71-year-old retired social worker from New Zealand,

and she had a routine hip joint replacement. Right. So not a full hip. This is kind of a thing you have to do when you get older, right? You just got to do it. Sometimes I think that. When I went for a bushwalk on the weekend, my knees hurt. I was like, I'm just getting some new ones soon.

I'm 34, but maybe not soon. But, you know, if you're a gym goer, people are like, oh, you don't want to be doing squats. Your knees, they'll pay the price. You're like, well, let's get some new ones. Let's get some new ones. New knees. And also in the future, when we get to like replacement age, that's going to be all better. We're probably just going to have a machine that just like zaps us and we'll get a new knee.

We'll like swallow a pill and it'll be like. The knee pill. The knee pill. The knee pill. And it constructs a knee inside of you. And then if you want a new hip, you just take a hip pill. Hip pill. The knee pill. The knee pill. And it constructs a knee inside of you. And then if you want a new hip, you just take a hip pill. Hip pill.

Yeah, a centrum hip pill. Yeah. Pacemaker, pacemaker pill. Yeah. It's going to be pill form. Yeah. Anyway, so in 2015, she had a hip joint replacement.

Afterwards, she had some complications, and she felt really sure that one of her legs was longer than the other. She was like, that was not a problem before. Yeah. So she really sure that one of her legs was longer than the other. She was like, that was not a problem before. Yeah. So she went back to all of her specialists

who were like, look, it takes a while for the things to like settle down, you know, maybe it's going to be okay and she was like,

no, it's really terrible and she measured that her leg had a discrepancy of about two centimetres. I'm just doing the little thing

with my fingers now. That is a lot. I now. Even a tiny difference. That is a lot. I know, even a tiny difference. If you think about your hips, like even a tiny difference, you're all off now, your spine's going off like this.

Like that's like putting a, like imagine you have a jandal, but you take out the strap bit and put that on the bottom of your shoe. Yeah. That's like that. That's like that. Like a jandal wouldn't even be two centimetres.

Yeah. A jandal might be like a centimetre. And a jandal wouldn't even be two centimetres. Yeah. A jandal might be like a centimetre. And you know, if you've ever had back pain, I know you have, and I've had like a little thing, they'll lie you on the table and they'll always check your leg length. They'll always be like, okay, we just want to see if your hips are out of line because if they are, it just starts from the feet and it just goes all the way up and starts everything up. So she was having some like issues with this.

What if they put the other one back in further or something? How do you get one leg longer than the other all of a sudden? I don't know. So she went to them and they said it was going to be alright and then it wasn't. And then they said basically like, well if

we're going to fix it, it's going to be a full hip joint replacement again to do it. So she went to ACC for it and was like, this is an accident. This has happened to me. And they originally declined it and said, no, this is a normal discrepancy,

which they measured between seven to 10 millimeters. So like just under a centimeter. That's still a lot though. It actually is. So they said it is an apparent difference rather than a true difference, which is not enough to, you know. Oh, that sounds like they're trying to get out of it.

Oh, we are. Yeah, we're picking at things here. So she took them basically to court and fought it and she has won. Oh, that's fantastic. Yeah, I know. So she's won now. But like this happened years ago.

Oh, I know. So this has been years and years and years. What did she have to get like a special shoe with an extra centimetre or two? Yeah. So that's the thing that she was advised like maybe just get a shoe insert. And it's like, but I shouldn't have to. I had to tip my legs with the same length. And you've got to buy all new shoes.

Oh my God. Like all your shoes changed. Yeah. Or like get these like inserts. Or go to a cobbler. You've got a good cobbler. I've got a bloody good cobbler. I've got a great cobbler. You've got a good cobbler. I've got a bloody good cobbler. I've got a great cobbler.

I've got a great cobbler. But then what do you go to your cobbler and you just put two centimetres on all my left shoes? No, you just have to put an insert into it, like in the actual thing, like a sole thing. I mean, how annoying. Yeah. So now I'm not sure.

She said, so the thing that everyone loves is that she represented, she represented herself in this whole case. This is a movie. This is a movie. I know. This should be made into one of those,

you know those Sunday night movies on TV One that the boomers love? You can write this. You can write this. I'm not writing it. So, so she went up

against seven surgeons and a board of like expertise and expertise, experts and against a judge. And then the judge was like, yeah, her evidence supports the claim that it's like she suffered from this. And so she's won. So now I'm not sure she's hoping that with the ACC thing, she's not going to get another surgery. She's just going to get the inserts and the special shoes and stuff funded.

I'd just get a whole... But then it's painful. You can't walk. No. Oh, horrible. I know. Well, good on her. She's won. And someone make a movie out of that because that is brilliant. It's brilliant, actually. It's a small person winning, taking on the system. We love that. The little guy. The underdog. Yeah, the little guy winning.

It's a great story. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. 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. I know little poll. Silly little poll. I know. I just saw the results. I know. Silly little poll today. Do you call your pet your child?

50-50 split. On the line. 50-50 split. We never get a 50-50. We never get 50. It's always 49-51. Yeah, it's very rare. Okay. I don't.50. We never get 50. It's always 49-51. Yeah, it's very rare. Okay.

I don't. Okay. You know, neither. Although sometimes I say as a joke, I'm a cat dad. Well, I never say I'm a cat mom. How embarrassing. How embarrassing. How embarrassing for you.

I don't know. Just as a joke. Like, but I don't call my cat my baby. Or your son. Yeah, like that's weird. It as a joke. Like, but I don't call my cat my baby. Like, I don't think. Or your son. Yeah, like, that's weird. It's a cat. It's just a cat.

I think there was an article I read about people. It was, I can't even remember the gist of the article, but it was about people saying, like, we love pets so much, we should be able to call ourselves parents. And I, I'm not a parent but I imagine being a parent you'd be like, shut up. But then, you know, when your pet

passes away, it is like losing a family member. And some people do get quite ruined by it and need a bit of time of work. Oh my god, 100%. I don't even want to think about it. I'm not saying that we don't love our pets extremely. I love Raleigh more than I could ever love a child,

knowing that I'm not going to have a child. But I know that if I had a child, you'd probably love it more. Okay, well, here's the results. 50-50 split. Noobs says, and we've got an included photo of the cat. Okay. Oh, my gosh. My sweet, gorgeous, perfect angel Loki that I lovingly

birthed, bracket, adopted and nurtured into the perfect princess she is today. Now, we've got a cute black cat. Oh, okay. That's a cute cat. That's a cute cat. But is that cat her boy? She thinks so. Okay. Angela says, yes,

but kind of jokingly because we have two actual children okay so we joke he's the eldest child or our first born but then also joke that he's the third

and forgotten child he's a cat and a bloody awesome cat but still just a cat yeah okay yeah Jacqueline says

yes I do and then when my kids ask who the favourite is I say it's Indy the puppy brilliant Sam says grow up yeah okay And then when my kids ask who the favorite is, I say it's Indy the puppy. Brilliant. Sam says, grow up. Yeah. I was really surprised by the numbers.

Yeah. I thought they'd be like, I don't know, 10% of weird cat people. Yeah, like my baby, my boy. Cooper says, I used to and then I had a child and now that just feels weird. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Susie says, I don't, but she's just a baby. She's a little baby.

Alex says, no, but our dog is a princess. We're mad. Pet owners are mad. Alicia says, my bed is the 50% who said yes, don't have kids yet. Yeah. Yeah. Alicia sounds like she's been through birth.

Dana says, sorry, I vomited a bit. Dana says, yes, and my partner and I call each other mummy and daddy. That's a bit weird. Oh, it's cute. That's cute. That's cute. Georgia says,

my daughter calls our dog her brother or brudda in toddler form. Oh, that's real cute. That's cute. Georgia says, my daughter calls our dog her brother or brother in toddler form. Oh, that's real cute. That's cute. Really cute. Well, there's 50% of us that are mad and 50% of us that aren't. Now, there's a new phone, the Google Pixel 9 smartphone. Let me look at it. Google.

Do you remember when Windows used to Windows still make phones? Windows? I know, Windows. No. But no, Google Pixel 9 smartphone came out and there's a feature that people are talking about. That's so expensive! Oh my god! How much is an iPhone? $2,000? Well, like anywhere from, well it

depends what kind you're getting. Like the top of the range ones could be like $2,500. So the extra, oh yeah, well these are basically the same price. I swear if you were going up against Apple, you'd try to make your phone cheaper. The Google Pixel 9 Pro Extra Large is two and a half thousand dollars. Yeah, so this is the phone that they're talking about. So it uses AI because it uses Android.

It runs Android, but this phone uses AI and it's got a feature called Admi. So if you're taking group photos, you would leave space for yourself. So say it's a group and there's no one else around and you don't want to do that auto timer thing because you might not all be in the photo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You leave space for yourself.

You take the photo and then somebody else comes out from the group and then takes your photo and it puts you in the photo. Oh, my God. It's insane. And there's an example of it here. Yeah. This journalist looking at that photo. It's pretty good.

It's pretty good. It's pretty, pretty good. You would never know that she's been added into that photo. It feels kind of complicated. I kind of get this, though. Like, having been on holiday with other people before and with people that don't take good photos. Oh my God, I know.

Aaron doesn't, my parents don't. So I've no nice photos of me. I take great photos. You take a brilliant photo. I take great photos. Yeah. Shoot on the thirds. Yeah.

People, there are some people, a lot, almost everyone in my life that doesn't know how to take a good photo. I know. And then you're like, great. So I've got, you've got nice photos that I took of you and I've got no nice ones. Yeah.

So this would work if you were like, I'll frame up the photo. Yes. And I'll make it look good. Yes. And I'll leave the space where I should go and then I'll put myself in. Yeah, that's pretty good.

Perfect. It's only a matter of time until Apple was like, okay, we'll do it. So Apple have a, they're announcing their new phones and all their new stuff on the 10th of September. What are we up to? 16? 16. And apparently that's got a lot of AI in it. And like, you know, Sam's like

everybody is going to be using AI. This is just going to be like a taster of what's to come. Of what's possible. And what we're going to have on our phones in the future. It'd be nice to get some nice photos of me. Every now and then I'm like I should put something up on Instagram that's not work and you're like, there's not a single nice photo.

Yeah, but are you starting to maybe wonder that it's you, not the photo taker? No, no, no, I know I've got a dog face for photos. Extremely attractive in real life. Like, beguiling. Like, people can't even look me in the eye. It must be incredibly difficult to work with.

It's really hard. Every day is a struggle. Yeah, but the moment a camera goes off. My mum and I talked about this a lot overseas because mum and I are the same. Like my mum's really beautiful and the moment we have a photo we both are like whereas my dad, who isn't an attractive guy, but in photos he just

beams like radiant. Craig is a good looking man. I know but he's got this authentic smile and a tan. Some people are better in real life than photos. It's just a thing. And you can't explain it, can you? No, you can't.

I see a photo of me, I'm like, either calm down or like, what a doofus. So embarrassing. Play ZM's Fletch Vordernaley. Play ZM. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Hi, so there are lots of places overseas that are calling to have age restrictions that are, well they can choose them basically rather than just the legal age. So this is like American bars and restaurants

are saying, like, no 20-year-olds, no 21-year-olds, we want 25, 30 only. We're sick of you. It sounds like they can't understand the Gen Z lingo. They can't. Or they want to escape it. They're like, we don't want your riz. Get out of here.

We're just trying to have a nice martini and go home early. They want to just have a drink and say things that won't get them cancelled. Exactly. They want to speak freely in their own places. So this is what they're calling for at the moment. So I have the top six places that I think should have some age restrictions in New Zealand. Now, you're not going to be ageist, are you?

No, not at all. Number six on the list, EB Games, restricted to under 30s. Over 30, grow up. Now, producer Jared. Grow up. You know why? It's because she doesn't want Aaron playing any more games. I think if you're under 30, it's fine.

You can waste your life away sitting on your ass playing games. This is unbelievable. Over 30s, you can just grow up. They've got the best socks. Go to Helen Stein's. This is unbelievable. You could just grow up. They've got the best socks. They've got... Go to Helen Stein's. Helen Stein's restricted... No restriction.

Oh, next you're going to say Helen Stein's is only for over 31s. No, no. No Helen Stein's restrictions, but I will say number five on the list. Glasses, under 45. I'm calling it under 45 glasses, okay? Wow, okay.

The girls are nodding. Yeah, I'm 26 and I don't even go there anymore. I'm 34. I went in the other day because I buy my sunglasses sometimes from there because I

don't always want to rock my Karen's because I'll break them. So I buy cheap sunglasses and stuff but I went in and I was like oh no I

can't anymore. I'm out. The midriff, the low rise, it's not for me. Under 45. Yeah all the bits are out and I don't

want to see it. All the bits are out. Okay, right. Glasses, under 45. Okay. Number four on the list of the top six places that I think need some age restrictions. McDonald's Playground, R18, too many kids.

I want to have a little play in there. Yeah, you have always wanted to go on the ballpark. Yeah, and I'm like barrelling down that slide and I'll kick a kid and then we're like, oh, get out of the playground, you're too old. I'm like, well, it wouldn't be an issue. They're the ones that need to get out of it. Make way for me, please. I want to go on the ball pit.

I want to go down the slide. I want to climb up the tower. I want to yell out, look at me, look at me. I'm going down the slide. Mum, mum, mum. Ma'am. R18, McDonald's playground. Number three on the list of top six places for age restrictions in New Zealand international flights. I'm going to say R28.

Okay, R28. Okay. One, kids don't remember travelling. Get them gone. Babies, they're not going to remember anything. 28, though. Yeah, I know, but I also don't want, like, young, fresh-faced, like, hopeful people off on their OE to start their exciting lives.

Do you know what I mean? Don't rub that in my face. I want just washed up, dried out, burnt out adults who are just like, I just need two weeks in Europe to recover. Okay. R28 in New Zealand international flights. Okay. Number two on the list of top six places that I think need age restrictions, self-service checkout, supermarket, under 45s only.

Over, it just baffles them. Wow. They can't handle it. That's a low cutoff. Yeah, you next year, out. That's a low cutoff. You can't use it. Wow.

You can't use it. You might get away with it for a bit, but we will be IDing. Especially if you're asking for help. Excuse me. Oh, it's not working. I didn't have a go, but I had a strong suggestion for the lady the other day, because I always buy grapes, and the grape

bags have barcodes on them. And you put them on the scales, and they scan the barcode, but the barcode isn't loaded. The barcode's not loaded. And then you've got to get the lady, and then she looks at the thing. It's not my fault. It's not my fault. It's not my fault. And I said to her, I said, you should load that in. She's not my fault. Are you watching this? Under 45s. And I said to her, I said, you should load that in.

She's like, uh, uh. She gave me an uh. I was like, do I have to run the supermarket and everything around here? Load the barcode in. Load the barcode into the system. Are you hearing this? Or cover it up.

It's not my fault. That's not my fault. Case in point. Here we go. Okay, and number one on the list of top six places that I think need age restrictions, Ryman Homes. Now, hear me out. Currently, you can only get into a Ryman if you're 70 or older.

Oh, okay. Now, that's BS. You want to go now? I want to play housey on a Friday. I want to have the little bar cart come around and get my complimentary salve. Cheap drinks. Cheap drinks. Cheap drinks.

Community. They have dance classes. We're doing bingo. 70. I'll say well let's lower that to 30. But imagine all the loss you're going to have to deal with. Constantly your friends will be dying. I know but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Do you know what I mean? That's going to cause a thicker

skin. You're going to be a harder person and you get a free wine on a Friday with Howsy. That is today's top six. Well, there is a competition underway to name the Hawke's Bay Airport fire truck. Why are fire trucks at airports so much cooler than normal fire trucks? I don't know. Whenever you're at an airport, you're like, that is such a cool fire truck. I know.

And I don't normally find fire trucks cool. Oh, okay. I mean, I don't know. They're just fire trucks. I think they're awesome. I've never been on one, and that's a crime. Is it a lifelong dream? That's a bucket list.

What do you want to touch you, the... Me not? I was like meeting the lights and sirens. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to push the sirens. I'll push the buttons, but I want someone to show me how. Okay. Keep talking about this. Okay.

Well, anyway, so they asked for names for the fire truck. No doubt somebody said fire McTruckie, fire face or whatever is the normal way it goes. But they have shortlisted it to five options that you can vote on. Okay. I need to look at the truck as we're doing it. God, they are cool. They are sexy. It's a sexy fire truck, isn't it?

Yeah. Why can't they have those in the city? I'm just saying, make them nice like that. It's cool. It's like we're living in the future or something. Here are the top five in no particular order. Okay. FRED, which stands for Fire, rescue, emergency, deployment.

That's clever though. Yeah, it's clever. But you don't immediately think of it. You're just like Fred. Okay, number two. And this is my favourite. And I think we should all vote for this. Judy Drench.

Like Judy Drench. That is perfection. It's brilliant, isn't it? Isn't it brilliant? That is. But they should be calling it Dame Judy Drench. Dame Judy Drench. Because she is a dame.

Dame Judy Drench is so funny. Also, one of my favourites, Spraying Mantis. Okay, I like that a lot. No, I like Dame Judy Drench more. TYY, Water in Abundance. And Toa Ahi, Fire Warrior. Okay. It depends on if you want a name that has meaning or something that makes you giggle.

Yeah. Because Toa Ahi, Fire Warrior is fun, but honestly, Spraying Mantis and Dame Judy Drench are so funny. So funny. Well, you can vote. I believe, I don't know where you vote. Maybe the Napier Airport. Google. Oh don't know where you vote. Maybe the Napier?

The Napier Airport website? Google. Oh, no, here you go. I'm going to go on now vote. Hawke's Bay-airport.co.nz. You can go on there, and then there's a section on there saying, name our new fire truck. Good.

Okay. And I think everybody listening needs to vote for Judy Drench. Cast your vote. Are we going Judy Drench? Is it winning? Does it tell you who's winning? Vote. No, it doesn't tell.

Hang on, use cookies. Yeah, use the cookies. I like a bit of... Okay, here we go. Wait. Here are the stats. Okay. In last place currently with 4.2% of votes, Te Wai Wai. Okay.

Just above that, Ahi Toa at 12.11. We don't want a serious name, apparently. People don't want a serious name. Yeah. In third place currently with a score of 20.26, Spraying Mantis.

I thought it would have been at least second. In second place, it's Dame Judy Drench. Are you telling me Fred? With a whopping 42% of votes. It's Fred. No, that's rigged. It's rigged.

Who is, who's, that's ridiculous. Hang on, do we go return to poll? Can I keep voting? It's got to be Judy Drench. Hang on, return to poll. 349, return to poll. Judy Drench. I would encourage.

350, you can vote endlessly you can vote endlessly oh no now the Russian bots are going to because you know the bird of the year is starting next week

we've just finished the 6 o'clock hour I think it went quite well 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock hour they're going to be shit because we're going to be sitting here distracted

we're just going to go vote vote vote return to poll Judy Drench vote one vote per person is fair I don't want to be accused of rigging it. Well, I've been sick so far.

You can keep talking if you want. This is me for the day. I would encourage our listeners to vote for Judy Drench. We're getting behind here at ZM. As the new fire truck. Yeah, we, you know, normally we're quite apolitical, apart from Vaughan, who's a mouthpiece for the left. Very loud.

But usually we stay out of things like this. We stay out of things. We don't want to, you know, sway the public. Bird of the year even. We kind of keep to ourselves. Even though you were all for the seagull last year. It was embarrassing. I was the kid at OO.

It was embarrassing. Hawksbay-airport.co.nz. Go on and vote. Let's get Judy Drench winning the name for the fire truck, the brand new fire truck. I've just done my 10th vote. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, Oasis.

Huge news, eh? They've said that they are reuniting. This is a band that, when did they start? Like early, mid-90s? Very early 90s, I reckon. Liam, Noel Gallagher had a falling out, said they could never work with each other.

Constant fighting. Yeah. And like big, they were boozers. Yeah. No one ever thought they'd get back together. Two of the grumpiest men in music. They obviously didn't think it was going to happen,

but then everybody knows like the money runs out. Oh yeah. You know, the money runs out. It dries up, doesn't it? It dries up. And here we are, Oasis have announced that they will be performing live in concert again. Together.

And it's got a lot of people upset because like original fans who would be what, Gen Xers? Yeah. And older millennials are like, hang on Gen Zers who have just jumped on the Wonderwall bandwagon. I don't believe in anybody.

Like leave the tickets for us. Yeah. And they're like, you can't go to a concert for one song. I have seen all over my socials, like, people, like you say, like, the true fans from the 90s, setting alarms, panicking, like, doing videos of them, like, how are they going to get these tickets? And you're so right.

Like, because this is a concert. Like, I grew up in the 90s, but I was a little bit too young to be an Oasis fan. I was more like your Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys era. Yeah, yeah. But I would like, if they came to New Zealand, I would want to go. Yeah, it would be. To hear Wonderwall. To Wonderwall.

What, no other song? Well, it's like when we went to Matchbox 20, who have many bangers, but Goo Goo Dolls were there. And if it was just Goo Goo Dolls, we're all there for Iris. Yeah. You know what I mean? So many people would be. Yeah.

But yeah, so there's this funny online kind of argument and debate about, you know, banning Gen Zers. Because the Gen Xers or the older millennials want the tickets because they're the actual fans. Yeah. And then, do you know what I hate the most about? If you go to a band that you absolutely love or an artist that you love, but then people are there for one song, they're the ones that talk for the other 15 songs. And you're like something from the B-side, like sad song.

They're like, this is my favourite, shut up. Yeah, and they're just like... Oh, yeah. And you're just like... Yeah. I mean, that happens. So this is what I wanted to ask this morning. Have you been to a concert for just one song?

Oh, 100%. Like, people will go to Oasis for this song, Wonderwall. Yeah. And that's it. They don't know any others. Yeah. There'll be so many. Because, like, there are lots of bands that have just one amazing song that goes crazy.

Well, Shannon, you were saying last night Tones and I played in Auckland, which is odd because she just opened for Pink, right? Yeah. Was that the start of this year? Yeah. I don't know what time is anymore. She must have got a lot of love because she came back last night. She came back, but I feel like she's one of those artists that people go to these concerts

and they know Dance Monkey and that's it. Yeah. Going through my Instagram stories this morning, I will say the only song I saw my friends post about was Dance Monkey and that's it. Yeah. Going through my Instagram stories this morning, I will say the only song I saw my friends post about was Dance Monkey. Yeah. And you had a friend that only knew one song, was just going with a group of friends?

Yeah, 100%. Yeah. That's an expensive outing these days because concerts aren't cheap. I know, especially if you booze up. Yeah, and just going for one song. Yeah. So that is a question we want to ask this morning.

0800 DARS at M. Give us a call. You can text through 9696. Have you been to a concert for only one song? Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM's. We want to know this morning and right now 0800 DARS at M. You can text through

9696. Have you gone to a concert only knowing one song? Yeah. Or just for that one song that you love? Because Oasis fans are freaking out. The band's reuniting, which was like never on the cards. No. Famously feuding brothers.

Yeah. And they are brothers, aren't they? Yeah, they are, yeah. And for some reason I was like, maybe they're not. No, they are. Like Jack White and Meg White. And everyone was like, are they brothers or are't they? The Gullich brothers. Yeah, they are, yeah. And for some reason I was like, maybe they're not. No, they are. Like Jack White and Meg White and everyone was like, are they brothers or are they married? Weird.

Anyway, and true Oasis fans are worried they're not going to get their hands on tickets because everyone's going just to hear Wonderwall. Somebody tweeted, what are you saying now that it's not Twitter? I don't know. Somebody X'd? I say tweeted. Somebody tweeted, imagine waiting 15 years for Oasis to reform only to lose out to tickets to a 21-year-old who just wants to hear Wonderwall.

Yeah. Yeah, my dude. This is why people are arguing because they're the fans and they're going to miss out on tickets to people that only know one song. Yeah. Some messages in.

Went to Soundgarden only for Black Hole Sun. Oh, that's a great song. Black Hole Sun. They didn't even play it. I hate when bands do that. I've done this before. I know this is a little off-brand, but when I went to ACDC years ago,

they played their new album. And what? No hits. And when you're a band like that, you just kind of need to be just playing Thunderstruck. You've got to sprinkle in. Like, you've got to, like, you understand that it must be hell on earth be just playing Thunderstruck. You've got to sprinkle in, like you've got to, like you understand that it must be hell

on earth to tour. Oh, totally. And they want to play some new stuff. Yeah, we don't want to hear it. Sure, but we want to hear your hits. Yeah, yeah, more hits. We want to hear the good stuff. Two songs off the new album. Yep. Someone said they went to the Village People at Christchurch Town Hall for Just Hear YMCA

obviously. They had one more song that was really popular. Did they? They said it was epic. I mean, that would just be a party. Now, this is one of the most controversial texts we've actually received. Okay.

I was a plus one with my friend to Taylor Swift, I Only Knew Love Story. What? Now, I'm sorry to say that we've got a lot of Taylor Swift I only knew Love Story. What? Now I'm sorry to say that we've got a lot of Taylor Swift listeners. How do you only know one song? Like her songs are everywhere. I know.

You cannot escape them. But being up for the last one being like oh yeah I'll come along to like the most coveted concert in the world. Someone suggested they just make the whole Oasis concert seated only and Gen X will get all the tickets. Like young ones want to stand. Someone went to Leonard Cohen only for Hallelujah.

Yeah. Beautiful rendition. Then my young daughter got sick and had to leave before he even sung it. Teddy Swims. I only heard Lose Control a few months before I got my ticket. It was so worth it. Someone said I hadn't even heard of Harry Styles until my girlfriend dragged me along.

Good thing I knew Watermelon Sugar though. How do you, but again, like, how do you escape all the Harry Styles songs? I don't know. When U2 came, we went to watch Jay-Z only and left after his set. Did Jay-Z open for U2? I remember when he opened for them and all, I was like, what? Like, you couldn't get

any kind of Venn crossover there. No, usually you have a similar vibe. If it's a rock concert, it's a rock band. Oh, why not? Ricky Martin for that song from Shrek. Which Ricky Martin songs on Shrek? Shrek. I'm Googling.

Live in La Vida Loca. Is that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like Shrek 3 or Shrek 2 or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is. Okay. Hang on. For that song from Shrek yeah it's in like Shrek 3 or Shrek 2 or something yeah yeah yeah it is okay hang on for that song from Shrek

that's so funny um I'm in between Millennial and Gen Z and I went to the Chicks last year and only knew their older songs

uh went with my boyfriend to the Dudes and only knew Bliss I go to gigs for one song all the time but it's often how

I discover other songs from that artist and then I go and then I leave and I go on to love them. I don't know who that artist is. Michael McCarkey? No. Oh yeah, I do.

I went to Goo Goo Dolls last year to only see Iris live in Christchurch. That was a great concert. Someone said, yeah, I'm going to Benson Boone. And I only know one song, but lucky you guys have started playing his second song so I'll know that too. Well, you guys have started playing his second song, so I'll know that too.

Well, there you go. You'll know two songs. Oh, and another person messaged last year that they went to Goo Goo Dolls last year only to see Iris. I mean, it was great. It was great. So there you go. And we're all guilty of it. We love jumping on a bandwagon.

Your chance to win next. Oh, my God. Someone just messaged me. In 2020, I went to Queen and I knew... Oh, no, no, no. They knew every song. They're just a big fan. Well, that's...

No, we're not taking messages on when you know every song. Listen up, 756. We said, when did you go to a concert when you knew one song? Tell them off. Open your tarting ears. Tell them off. Okay? Rocks in your head.

Open your tarting ears. Rocks in your head. Play. ZM's Flet. Rocks in your head. Tartingers. Rocks in your head. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Noah Khan, stick season on ZM. Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. It's Noah Khan. What did I say? I'm confused.

I'm thinking about... You said it's Noah Khan on ZM. It's Noah Khan. IM. It's Noah Khan. I've got a couple of things going on in my head right now. It's 7.31 is what you meant to say. Oh, my God.

It's Noah Khan. It's Noah Khan o'clock. I'm editing. Things are going on. He's doing lots of things. I'm multitasking. Don't show them how the sausage is made, but I tell you what, when we're here.

You don't want to see how my sausage is made because it might not be 100%. It might not be 100% mints. It might be a little bit of sawdust in there. It might be a little bit of cardboard. It might be some cardboard, some paper pulp. We don't want to know.

We just want to know that it's delicious. It's a lot of quality cheese as well. We just want you to eat the delicious show and not ask how we make it. Now, you know, like aesthetics. We talked, was it yesterday or the day before

about the travel trays aesthetic, you know, people going through the security. And they take a picture and it's their nice like shoes and their nice leather wallet or handbag. And it's like, let's calm down. I think we're back on the aesthetic buzz. Because remember, and this is going to make me sound so old. Remember, I'm just struggling to keep up, Fletch.

Remember when it was all about what was the shit posting and all the people just dumping their crap photos, unedited, blurry photos. That's gone, hasn't it? Now we're back to full aesthetic and I've gone like, oh, I've just slumped into being a piece of crap. We're not doing that now. We're going back to being aesthetically pleasing.

You've got to go back to being aesthetically pleasing. So the new trend is fridgescaping. Oh, no thanks. And I have seen so much of this and as a woman who is completely unable to keep a tidy fridge.

Like, my fridge is disgusting. I've got too many bottles of sauces. I've got too many hoisons. And they've got like dribbly bits by the caps. Dribbly bits.

And then they stick to the bottom. And then I know not to move that one. So, what people want this aesthetic fridge, is it like what,

you take a photo of it? I cannot tell you how. Or for when people come over. My dude. They theme them. Here's a Halloween one. They've put cobwebs and spiders into it. And lights.

There are people that put small bouquets of flowers at the back. So when you open it, I mean, they've all got double doors. Now I don't have the space for a double door and neither do you. Vaughn's got a double door. Oh, he would. He would have a double door. Pig in his butler's pantry. I've just got a small. I've got a slim. I've just got a small, simple. A modest. I've got a small

modest one. Yeah. Yeah. So you open them and like everything is just like some people are doing it by colour. Some people are doing it in like themes. Some people are doing like all of this like they'll get their milk and they'll take it out of the plastic container and they'll pour it into an aesthetic jug.

Oh no, okay. And then there's a little pot with a couple of little flowers in it. And are they like buying bougie products as well? Like your sparkling waters or your different... This chick's got a bloody framed picture. She's got picture frames in there and flower vases and stuff. Do people have too much time?

Yeah, look, Fridgescaping, look, they buy their milk. Look, there's lamps. They've got fairy lights in here. That's ridiculous. Look, and they get out all their stuff and they pour it into aesthetically pleasing things. Although maybe it would kind of, you know, because how many times do you just open the fridge

hoping something's appeared in there? At least like now you can be like, Oh my God, I've got a nice fridge. I was so hungry yesterday and I opened it up and I was like, there's only some raw chicken, some vegetables and 20,000 sauces. Closed the fridge. Went back to do what I was doing. Went back and I was like, I'm hungry. I wonder if there's a snack in the fridge. Who put a snack in the fridge, Sprout?

In the last 20 minutes. Yeah, I'm the one who does all the food in our household. If there's food in there, you know about it. I do that all the time. I mean, this is next level. I totally, I mean, look at my house. Like I have an aesthetically pleasing home. It's all about the aesthetics.

Yeah. But some areas, my bathroom drawer, no. It is a dump site. Oh yeah, that's a dump site. Rummage, rummage. Yours isn't too bad. You keep it pretty clean. Oh, you might've last seen it in a clean state. Oh yeah, that's a dump site. Rummage, rummage. Yours isn't too bad. You keep it pretty clean. Oh, you might have last seen it in a clean state. Oh yeah. It's

getting messy again. When I go in to borrow a little bit of sorbolene and some deodorant when I stay the night. Always like, he keeps it nice. But my bathroom drawer is a dump site and my fridge will always be a dump site. Yeah. Those are the places people don't see. No, exactly. And your junk drawer. Yeah. I'm not aesthetically pleasing any of that crap.

Hi, ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Tomorrow, the ANZ donation station is happening. We've got a whole day of entertainment lined up and it's your chance to help us raise money. ANZ has been a partner of the Cancer Society for 34 years. You can text the word support to 206 right now to make an instant $3 donation. And Bree and Clint are in studio with us now.

Hi, guys. Hi, guys. Hi. Bree, I'm sitting in your chair. Does it feel odd? It does feel a little bit odd. I feel like I'm- Fight.

Fight her. Yeah. Fight her for the chair. Well, you're in my chair. I'd love to see that. What? Oh, my God. I mean, we start the day at technically-

He's there first, and you're in the guest chair. I'm in the guest chair. What are you, L.A.B. or something? WWE Radio Smackdown Hey, before we talk about Because we never get to hang out in the studio together Before we talk about why you guys are here And what we're talking about

Plants pants Oh my god, great trousers on these guys Great trousers We look scruffy, Fletch He's wearing a great slack We commented on his slack Like a semi-formal slack I'm not a semi- We commented on his slack. Like a semi-formal slack. I've got a semi-formal slack.

And you're wearing a semi-formal slack. We're both wearing pleated suit pants. I know. The best dressed afternoon show on New Zealand radio. Sloppy. Breakfast sloppy. Yeah, we roll out a beer and just put on whatever is lying around. No, I want to say, Brie, because we share a little port here.

When I plug in my headphones in the morning after you, holy crap, your ears, you've got it right up. I'm on, I'm sort of three quarters. I'm so glad you brought this up. Oh my God, if I put mine to your level. This is so interesting. We talk about this on our show all the time, how you guys blow our eardrums apart.

Yours is way too loud for us. This is very. Do you think someone's twiddling with the knobs? No, this is how the sausage is made. We've got different settings on the desk. Yeah, we do. Fletcher's settings are way louder. Ours are quieter, so we turn our knobs up.

Because when they set it up and I wanted to turn songs loud so we could dance and sing to them, it wasn't loud enough. So I said, make it louder. Is that what it is? Okay, okay. So that makes sense. I was like, holy moly, Brie. She's got problems.

She's blowing her ears off. But this all makes sense. Anyway, this is how the sausage is made. We digress. You guys are here to talk to us about the fact that if we as a station, as a company, raise $100,000 for the ANZ Daffodil Day, you guys have promised to leak your cheeky pics. Yes, we have.

And we're not lying. On Monday, Brie and I took part in a nude photo shoot together. I don't want to talk about it. Together. I thought maybe Brie would go in and then I would go in, but no, it made more sense to do it together. No, I just threw caution to the wind and threw my bra to the wind and had the ta-tas out.

And did you guys get a good gaze at each other? Because, you know, that click kept looking over. I was like, my eyes are up here. I couldn't look to say like I'm not looking. Anytime I reference my chest area Fletch goes, he like can't stand it. And Fletch and Vaughn

have worked together for 20 years and have never seen each other's junk. That's wild. That is insane. Insanity. It brings you closer together. I don't know. I've kissed Clint on the lips and neither of you too. Neither of you and Vaughn. That's inappropriate. I will say this and I said this to Brie on the day of the photo together. I don't know. I've kissed Clint on the lips and neither have you two. Neither have you and Vaughn. That's inappropriate. I will say this, and I said this to Bree on the day of the photo shoot.

I said, I mean this in the most professional way possible. This actually happened. You have got a great set of tits. Oh, wow. Okay. My choosies are one of my best assets. Do you know what? It's a beautiful compliment.

It really is. If you'd like to help us get closer to this total, you can make an instant $3 donation. Text the word support to 206 right now. These pictures are not coming out if we don't raise $100,000, by the way. They will be set fire to and never seen by anybody. How do you set fire to a cloud? Well, we'll burn the hard drive or something like that.

We'll burn it to the ground. Would you guys like a little teaser? I would love one. We can show you guys the pictures now and? I would love one. We can show you guys the pictures now and get a live reaction. They've just come through. Yeah, they may never see the light of day, so we want your guys' reaction.

Hayley can't look. What? No, I can look. Those are some strategically placed daffodils. Wow. I had to have quite a few daffodils. We're not talking about an A cup here. Can you confirm that they are revealing pictures? They are very revealing pictures.

So these will be posted on our Instagram tomorrow if we reach the $100,000 target for the Cancer Society. Really? Side by side? You are very close. We were touching each other, yeah. Not in that way. Not in that way.

Really? Okay, these are saucy perks. Fletch, can I get a review? You know, great. Yeah, great. Yeah, great. Is that how it is? How uncomfortable is Fletch? Is that how it is?

This is how I get. I don't deal with compliments. I don't know how to compliment people. Just good one. I'll take it. A great from Fletch is a fantastic. I will confirm. Thank you.

Great rec on Bree. Thank you, Hannah. I will confirm. Rocking a hot bod clump. Thank you very much. Yeah, it's a hot bod. It's a hot bod. Yeah, it's good stuff.

Well, we go to the same gym, don't we? We used to until the cost of living crisis struck. Oh, no. You've gone to a povo gym. I'm now at a povo gym, yeah. You and Bourne. It's embarrassing. Well, hey Bourne, it's embarrassing. Well, hey, look, it's all happening tomorrow with ANZ Donation Station.

That text again to make an instant $3 donation. Text the word SUPPORT to 06 and good luck. Thank you, guys. Choozie's out for charity. That's what I say. Choozie's out for cancer. That's what I've always said. Play ZM's Fletch, Bour's what I say. Chosie's out for cancer, that's what I've always said.

So I got my first, you know how New World's doing the deal with the stickers and they're doing KitchenAid containers and they're glass and they've got rubber silicon thingies on them. You're hooked. I'm so hooked. You're hooked. I got one and it's so nice and I've got a booklet half on the go but I'm going to keep going until I get another large container then I'm going

to go back and I'm going to get the pump to pump the air out of it. And then I think maybe I'll go for one more and then she's good. Yeah. I mean, or you could just go to, I don't know, Briscoe's and buy a set of glass containers. Why would I? Well, these are basically free.

However, you need to shop at New World to get them. Not Spawn, by the way. Not Spawn, yeah. New World's my local supermarket. And I was annoyed because, you know, these things, like, they run out. And I've done quite a big shop. I've got enough food. There's meat in the freezer.

There's veggies. There's everything. So I had no need to go to the supermarket. And I was trying to, and I remember I came up with the idea that maybe I'd buy a dozen wines. Shannon has the stickers, and she said she'll sell them to you. Yeah, but what's your current price? $30 for $11. You see, that's BS.

Well, I dropped it to $20 and then off air this morning you said $30. So I was like, is the price still $30? Okay, so it's gone up. Yeah. I mean, it's a deal. I don't want to have to resort to this. I've come up with another plan. Dude, Shannon had to evacuate her building because of the fire alarm. The only thing she worried about were the stickers. Well, because I don't have insurance

and the only expensive stuff I own is works, like my laptop, my phone. So I was like, what do I care about? Yeah, but contents insurance. You don't have insurance, and the only expensive stuff I own is works, like my laptop, my phone. So I was like, what do I care about? Yeah, but contents insurance gives you cover if you accidentally burn the place down. No, and when my boyfriend and I were standing outside the apartment, I said, we've never actually talked about this. Do you have insurance? And he's like, nah.

Oh, my God. No, but if you, like, break something or rip something or lose something but I don't have anything expensive my neck no it doesn't matter but it's expensive you would have to pay

for the apartment to get fixed if it's your fault your renter's insurance man you need renter's insurance that's not my fault though no no if it's your fault

oh well I just want to start a fire oh sure oh that's not how it works we don't all oh my god you don't set out on your day being like oh I hope I don't start any fires today to be fair Oh, that's not how it works. Oh, my God. You don't sit out on your day being like,

I hope I don't start any fires today. To be fair, your boyfriend is a magician. He'll just make the insurance company disappear. No, he's doing like that, creating little sparks. And so he's got gunpowder, no doubt. He's a magician. Don't even get me started on that. Okay, that's so stressful to me.

I have all the insurance. Okay, that's so stressful to me. I have all the insurance. Yeah. Okay, so here's my new plan. I went around the house being like, we must be short on stuff. Because you know how you do your food shop, and then every now and then you've got to drop in an olive oil. You've got to drop in a block of butter.

Oh, I had to drop in the other day the dishwasher tabs. Okay, so here's my list. I went around the house. Was I specifically searching for things that were running low? Yes. Because I was like, I could get ahead of things. But wait, are you saying that you're just going to tick this up? Like, is this going on the credit card?

This is going to be an expensive shop. No, I don't have a credit card. I'll pay for it. Right. I'm out of SARD. SARD. Oh, yep, the laundry SARD. Laundry SARD and nappy sand. I'm a SARDer. I use SARD. I use the SARD spray, but I use the nappy sand in the wash. Oh, yep. The laundry sard. Laundry sard. And nappy sand. I'm a sard.

I use sard. I use the sard spray, but I use the nappy sand in the wash. Oh, okay. Now, both of those, they last like a month or so or whatever. Yeah. They're out. They're expensive too. So I'm going to have to get those in the expensive.

A couple of stickers there. Dishwasher tablets, I've only got eight left. Okay. You're going to need some of those. I'm going to have to need some of those. Those are like $40 a bag. Yeah, they're expensive. Are you kidding me? So like $40 a bag. Yeah, they're expensive. Are you kidding me?

So like this is going up. I'm like, boo, $40 a bag. But I'm like, that's two stickers. I've got to change the way I'm thinking. You are talking like an addict. So already there, I've got four stickers here. They have got you. All my spray and wipes, I'd say, gave them the shake, but low.

So I'll probably get five or six of those. Five or six? Well, look, if I'm going to do a shop. Oh, it must be nice. This is the guy who buys in bulk. I'm buying in bulk. It's just I'm buying it five or six of those. Five or six? Well, look, if I'm going to do a shop. Oh, it must be nice. This is the guy who buys in bulk. I'm buying in bulk. It's just I'm buying it from Newell. Right.

I could get some more meat for the freezer. Because you actually don't know when there's going to be an emergency and you're going to need some food and the supermarkets are going to be unavailable. I might stock up the... Have you got emergency candles in case there's a power cut? Well, I can get those from the supermarket, can't I? Batteries. Batteries. Oh, yeah, you't I? Batteries. Batteries!

Oh, yeah, you always need some AAAs. Batteries are expensive! I'm getting excited to spend this boring money so I get the stickers. It's a very twisted way of thinking because I've got to part with the money to get the stickers. Yeah, which you also need for your mortgage

and your renovations. Yeah. I've got to imagine if the mortgage gave you New World stickers. You'd probably buy a New World. Oh my god, if every time you paid the mortgage you got stickers? Or your rent, yeah, you got stickers. Yeah, I'm not getting KitchenAid, I'm getting a

New World. Oh god, that hurts. Play ZM's Fletch for the Daily. Play ZM. This is no good, This is in Austria. Okay, so this is, by the way, this is an ongoing case,

so I have to use the words allegedly. Oh, okay, because you don't want to be sued. To avoid legal action. Yeah, good. Okay. Austrian legal action. So there was a patient

who was part of a forestry accident. This was in January this year. Yeah. A forestry accident. We knew it was far out. They just never sound good, do they? No. I don't have the details of what happened,

but they were required to have emergency surgery and they had quite severe head trauma. Okay. Now, it has been revealed that during this... It's been alleged. Sorry, I don't want you going to prison in Austria. I can't afford it. Although I feel like you going to prison in Austria. I can't afford it. Although I feel like you'd love prison in Austria.

Oh, hello. Some cold cut meats. So it was alleged that during the surgery, the head surgeon, who I shan't even name for legal purposes, allowed his... Allegedly allowed. Okay, this is a minefield.

Allegedly the surgeon allegedly allowed his alleged 13 year old daughter to allegedly drill a hole into this patient's skull. What, like you're just at work with dad and he lets you

use the nail gun? Yeah. So as part of the, was it a lobotomy or something like that? As part of the surgery, a hole needed to be drilled and allegedly that hole was not drilled by this surgeon or either of the other surgeons in the room.

It was done by his teenager. Who's just at work waiting for dad to finish so they can hurry up and go home. Allegedly, Fletch. Allegedly, right. And so after this, by the way, the surgery, because it was only part of it,

he's a neurosurgeon, afterwards the surgery went off without a glitch. But then I think some people from the surgery have come out being like, this is what happened allegedly. This is not good. This is no good. Because I would imagine,

and I've never drilled a hole in I would imagine, and I've never drilled a hole in anyone's brain, but I've drilled a hole into like bits of wood and concrete. But you know, if you went too far, you'd hit the mushy brain bit. You would allegedly hit the brain. I know. So then, so this is like, this was revealed in April. And then in May, the person found out and was like trying to get legal action. Now the lawyers are trying to sue them. All the surgeons that were in the surgery that day have been fired. Suing for damages. Da-da-da-da-da.

Wow. This is crazy. Or because a surgeon let his teenager drill a hole in someone's head. Allegedly. Allegedly. Now I want to know, what is the most, because for me I'm like, this dad is giving his daughter too much. Yeah.

It's too much. I want to know, what is the unhinged thing that your parents let you do? Because when you think about like parenting going back into like the 80s or 90s, it was pretty low say. Who were we talking about? Who's the celebrity or the? I think a TV presenter in the UK. There's a massive uproar because her 15-year-old son went away with his friend. Yeah.

Who I think is either 15 or 16. And they went like. Travelling. Travelling around Europe for like two or three weeks. Yeah. Which I think would be so cool. Oh my God. When I first went to Big Day Out and I was 16 years old, all my friends went on their own.

Yeah. And I had to go up with my mum. And my mum stayed with us in this like hotel and all my friends had to up with my mum. And my mum stayed with us in this hotel. And all my friends had to stay with my mum. Let's be honest, if I was your mum, I wouldn't let you go anywhere. At 16, boy oh boy. Good thing she was there. I was trouble.

I filled the vodka bottle with water. And she didn't even know. Anyway, this is the thing. What is the most unhinged thing that your parents let you do? They just pulled off a handbrake on it and you just went, why they should not have done that. Looking back, you're like, okay, you wouldn't get away with that nowadays. Now someone said, someone just messaged us saying,

look up brain surgery drill bits and you'll see that you can't really screw it up. Okay. I don't want a 13-year-old. What do you mean? You can't screw it up. You could go too far. Or you could just be like. Oh my gosh.

I'm sure there's many ways you could screw up brain surgery. And I'm sorry to our neurosurgeon listeners. Was someone just going to be like, it's not that hard. It's not that hard. I mean, maybe obviously you can just let your 13-year-old daughter just drill a hole in someone's head. Yeah.

I don't know. Anyway, maybe they let your boyfriend live with you really early on. Maybe they let you travel the world. Maybe they let you do something really unhinged. Maybe they let you pack the grenades in the grenade factory just after school. You know, just pop in the pins. Holy guacamoles. We're getting some texts.

Okay, this is great. This is what we want. I think we might need to bring the lawyers down. We want to know what your parents let you do as a kid because a brain surgeon, a neurosurgeon has apparently, and Hayley is fighting with someone on the text machine. They just keep saying, look up how it happens. You can't stuff it up. And then I text back and be like,

are you a brain surgeon? Have they replied? Because apparently there's a special drill. Anyway, the brain surgeon let his teenager drill a hole in someone's head in surgery. Wild. Yeah, so we want to know the most unhinged thing that your parents let you do.

Hope, you were 12. You were 12. Okay, it started when I was 12. Okay, and what did your parents let you do? At 12, my mum, she didn't allow, she insisted that I get my nose pierced.

Oh, wow. Insisted? Okay. I was 16 with mine and that was a fight. But no, yeah, it was a fight on my end. Like, she was like, you're going to get this done. Oh, okay. 13, I got my belly button pierced. Oh, my gosh. Wow.

Okay. And at 15, I got my first tattoo. Oh, do you still like it? It is a tramp stamp. Yeah. It's okay. It's okay. You said everyone's got them.

I mean, and I didn't know that when I was 15, you know? Yeah, yeah. Wow. And do you think you were quite an independent person

at a young age? Maybe. I don't know. I think what it was was I was, I'm very slim built. Right. And my mum.

Sorry. I didn't laugh at that. I didn't laugh at that, Hayley. I didn't laugh. That's all right. We'll talk about that later.

No, we'll talk about that later, Hope. You said you're a slim built and I said same and Fletch laughed. We'll talk about it later. You're a slim built.

Beautiful, voluptuous mother that's quite had the chance to do those sorts of things. So it was like a projection onto you. Being like, she was like, yeah, yeah. Wow, that's gone on.

That's easier than her making you go to some boring sports practice because she wants to be a pro golfer or something. Oh, yeah, exactly. Oh, she's like, get the test. Totally.

Never went to a sport in my life. Oh, that's good. Thank God. Yeah, lucky. Thank you, Hope. Greg the chance. Totally. Never went to a sports sport in my life. Oh, God, thank God. Yeah, lucky. Thank you, Hope. Greg, what were you able to do at a young age? Okay, so for context, my dad was one of those old school dads that had their thing that if you're a good person, you know, if you did this particular thing well, you're a good

person. And for him, it was driving because he was a traffic officer at the time. Okay. And I got thrown the keys at age 11 and went on my first drive on the road, driving from Auckland to Kohaka. What? Greg. You drove from Auckland? Oh, my God.

And at what age? 11. 11? My father's words to me were, I said to him, what happens if we get pulled over? And he just looked at me and he said, let me deal with that. And we went on our first drive on the road. Could you even see over the steering wheel?

Well, thankfully I was quite a tall 11-year-old, so I could tell it was maybe 14 or 15. 11? Did he ever let you drive alone before you got your licence? No, well, that was the weird thing was he was a stickler for the rules if we were driving alone. But if he was in the car, it was fair game. Anything could happen well before we had our licences.

That is why. And have you to this day been a good driver? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I've been pulled over once by a police officer in my almost 20-year driving career. Start them early. Wow, that's incredible. Greg, thank you.

Let's go to Saskia. Saskia, what were you able to do at a young age? Good morning, guys. Firstly, long time listener, first time caller. Now, wait, did Vaughan take the bell with him to the island? No. Vaughan is back tomorrow. No, Saskia, it's okay.

Yay! Welcome, welcome. Welcome to the island. No. Vaughan is back tomorrow. No, Saskia, it's okay. Yay. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to the show. Now, was this growing up in South Africa? Yes, it was. It would have been sort of mid-90s. And as your parents do, you used to go for big, long barbecues

or fries back in the day and have lots of drinks. Well, they would, not us. I mean, my brother would have been between sort of 70 and 9 years old. And then they'd have far too much to drink and then be sort of a 30, 40 kilometre drive home. And then they would just sit in the car, we'd sit on their lap, they'd put the autopilot thingy on and we would just drive home.

Oh my God. Wait, so mum or dad would be in the driver's seat, pissed, and you would be on their lap, steering? No way! That is outrageous. So unhinged. There was a couple of close calls where I was like, kind of wake him up and then he slammed on the brakes.

Fuck yeah! These are the kind of things you would never get away with now, and rightly so. Oh my god, absolutely. Oh my god, I can't believe that. That's the craziest shit I've ever heard. I don't know what to do about that.

That is wild. Oh, Saskia, thank you. Thank you for your call. South Africa, different place, different time. It's a totally different land, isn't it? So many wild texts coming through. Honestly, we have so, so many. I'm going to try to get through them because they're amazing.

My dad would let me go deer stalking by myself at 15 with no gun licence. I'd be out all day with a gun. When I was 14, my brother and my brother was 16. My parents went to Rauru for two weeks and just left us alone. I drove my parents' car down to the dairy with my friends on Friday night just because I could. Oh, my God. Riding in the back of the ute under the covers pretty cooked. But, you know, it was a different time. Oh, yeah. We used Riding in the back of the ute under the cover is pretty

cooked, but it was a different time. We used to ride on the back of the ute. Oh my God, there's one I have to read because I don't want to miss it. Oh my God, it was so good. When I was 15, my parents bought me plane tickets to visit my boyfriend for two weeks in the North Island from the South Island. I'd never

flown before and I'd only met my boyfriend once at a camp thing. We're now married. We've been together for 15 years. Wow. Isn't that amazing? That's incredible. My dad let me ride my scooter down Baldwin Street, the steepest street in the world,

on my new scooter without a helmet. Parent of the year. Wild. Yeah, lots of people Whose parents let them Have their lovers sleep over When they were teenagers My parents let me have a baby When I was 14

My father used to let me drive an international T2670 truck With a 40 foot trailer T2 what? T2670 truck With a 40 foot trailer. T2 what? T2 670 truck with a 40 foot trailer with a 40 foot container. Oh that's a big one. 40 foot container on the back.

Take it on the port and under the container lifter while he went to get the paperwork when I was 14. Look at that. When I was 14. 14. That's insane. Oh my god. Get a chest. Oh, my God.

My parents let me get a chest tattoo at age 16. I'm currently having them all removed. Ouch. The pilot who let his kids in the cockpit of an airplane and took hold of the gears. They crashed. Okay. Yeah, I remember that was a great episode of Air Crash Investigation.

Oh, my God. That's terrible. Yeah. We went on a building site, age 13, with my dad on the top floor of a three-story building with no safety gear, no harness, no signs, and the foreman took photos of us that high.

Love the late 90s. So I messaged him saying that they dangled, my dad dangled me over the fence of the zoo so I could pet an alligator. Oh my god, wow. Dad dangled me over the fence of the zoo so I could pet an alligator. Oh, my God. Wow. What is this? My husband just let our four-year-old put petrol in the car.

He ended up spraying all over his face and his mouth and eyes. Had to ring the poison line to make sure that he was going to be okay. Wait, that's a text from this week, not the 90s? Yep. Okay. My dad made me drive him into town for more winesies. I was 12 and we lived 20 minutes out of town. I got married at 16 and you had to get permission from your parents,

but we've been married for 48 years. Oh, that's nice. Different times. Yeah. Oh my God, there's so many. There's so many guys. Oh, my dad would used to let me go off to the dairy to buy him ciggies with a note. That's classic.

And that certainly isn't allowed these days. So that Utrecht person text him being like, remember how the fumes would come into the back and you'd start choking? Different time. Yeah, different times. Different times. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day. On this cat celebrations around the world week. Vaughan is back tomorrow. He kind of stuck us with a bit of a dud one, didn't he? Because there's not a lot of celebrations for cats. There should have just been facts about cats. Yeah.

Cat facts. He really narrowed it down too much. He narrowed it down too much. He's actually stitched us here. In fact, tomorrow when he's back, he's going to struggle to find a cat. Fact about... I actually considered for a moment

running through about 10 cat celebrations so he had nothing to do and we'll just watch him struggle. But now I found an article about Cat World Domination Day, which is the day supposedly that your cat will come out and take over the world basically. Oh, right. Not come out as gay. I think all cats are a little bit gay.

And they're all pans. Do you know what I mean? What makes you think that all cats are a little bit gay. And they're all pans. Do you know what I mean? What makes you think that all cats are a little bit gay? Just the way they walk. Right. The way they clean themselves so elegantly. Right. And the way they cross their paws.

I don't know. Oh, yeah. My cat does that. He crosses his paws. He's a bit gay. And he'll just watch the TV. Yeah. And I'm like, maybe he is a little bit gay.

He's a little bit gay. I think your cat's definitely gay. Mine isn't a flaming homosexual. Do you know, I actually think he might because the kitten down the hallway, my neighbour's kitten, female, he's scared of it and runs away. Could be gay. Could be gay. I think we've got a few gay cats

on our hands here. So Cat World Domination Day is celebrated every June 24th and they say on June 24th, every year, you need to be vigilant. You need to be looking for signs that your cat is plotting an overthrow. This is the day after my birthday. It is too. It's my dad's birthday.

It's June 24th. Sorry, now I know it is. Now you know it is. Now I know it is the day after Fletcher's birthday. Yeah, thank you. Your dad's birthday is the day after mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how you know it. Yeah, right. That's right. Now. So, you've got to be vigilant.

There's actually some signs to look for, some behavioral stuff. When you're walking up the steps, they're sort of coming up towards you, ready to attack. When you laugh, they're staring at you, just waiting for, they're plotting their demise. This is just every day having a cat. Yeah, basically. But on June 24th, here are some tips to help avoid your cat's, I guess, world takeover. Okay. Don't leave the food bowl unfilled. Yep.

Because you know that they go absolutely crazy. And on World Cat Domination Day, this could be the straw that breaks camels back. God, Vaughan is really going to struggle tomorrow. We're scraping the barrel with this one. Excuse me. This is the top of the barrel. This is the froth on top of the bed. Is it?

Okay. Yeah, this is the froth. This is literally right at the top. I didn't even dig that deep. Offer them lots of snacks. You're giving them a gift. Hey, hey, hey. No need to take over the world.

I'm on your side now that you're our leaders. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm with you now. Consensual affection. Okay. Now, you know on World Domination Day, they don't want a bar of you. When the tail starts flapping,

that's when I'm like, stop patting Murray. Because I know he'll just leave. I know, but sometimes I like to grab the tail end and be like, what are you flapping that for? And he's like, rawr! So you want some consensual affection. You need to on June 24th, World Cat Domination Day,

you need to provide adequate entertainment to keep their mind distracted, I guess, from taking over the world. Yep. I don't know what that is for you. For you, it's like putting fishes on the TV. Yeah. Or a toy to play with or something to watch. Yep. And then

no matter what, no matter what your cat says on World Cat Domination Day, just say yes. I want food, yes. I want pets, yes. I want to go outside, yes. I want to sleep on the bed with you, yes. Right. Yes, yes, yes. Otherwise what they eat you, they'll take over the world. They will take over the world. Right, okay.

We thought it was going to be monkeys or aliens. It's cats. It's cats, okay. So today's fact of the day is that June 24th is officially World Cat Domination Day. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. So experts and teachers are fearing that Gen Z may be losing the ability to touch type. I mean, that's not even thinking about using a pen.

Like, sometimes I write a big, like, list and I'm like, oh, my God, my fingers. Same. I used to write all the time. And now you just, I hardly ever write. Messy and, like, ugly. But, I mean, writing aside, yeah, they're saying that Gen Z are losing the ability to use computer keyboards

because it's all touchscreen now. Like, even iPads, they're saying that Gen Z are losing the ability to use computer keyboards because it's all touchscreen now. Like even iPads, you're just like do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Some of them you can you know, you have a keyboard attachment, but most of it's on the phone now and yeah, they're replacing desktop computers and the ability to type fast. Well, I've always thought

I type pretty fast, but I don't touch type. I didn't learn the proper thing. I just kind of type fast with my own fingers. I kind of end up like one or two finger. Yeah, I got like two or four on the go and then yeah. It's pretty impressive watching

someone absolutely hoon out text. At Dargaville High, as I said, my mum was top of the class in touch typing. They said that, I think that's why she got, she started working in the courtrooms because she wanted to be that person. Stenographer. Stenographer. Yes. But then she

ended up becoming a, whatever the person who says All Rise. What's that person? All Rise. That song. And they can, yeah, member of Blue, the boy band. All Rise. One for the money and the free rise. Two for the lies that you deny. All Rise. No, she didn't become a member of Blue, the boy band. Yeah. All right. One for the money and the free ride. Two for the lies that you denied.

All right. No, she didn't become a member of Blue. So, Anza, you would be a proud millennial. Proud millennial. Smack in the middle. Who says you've got a great typing ability. Yeah. Passed on through your mother, Patsy.

You will now take on Gen Z, Shannon, in a touch typing. Ten years my junior. Yeah, to see if this is actually a thing. How do you rate your keyboard skills? I remember at primary was when they first introduced

like how you're going to use a computer and it was one of those cute Macs that had like a big bubble butt. Oh yeah, I remember they had those on the Shortland Street reception too.

I was like, Shortland Street must be making some money. Yeah, ka-ching. Yeah. This is a public health system. So I remember learning at school and I remember

we had a little program where there was little fishies and every letter you typed you got a fish but I wouldn't say I actively type well. I've got it on my phone but laptop I'm useless. Well I found us a typing test that we can do. It's a 30 second test. Shannon and I are going to go

head to head. We'll go 3, 2, 1, click and then we'll go. I reckon my spelling's where this is going to let me down. So this typing test, it'll flash up a sentence. So it flashes up the sentence. You've got to read it and write it out. Okay, and it's 30 seconds. All right, Shannon, are you ready?

Yeah. Gen Z ready? Yeah. She sounds ready. See, she's already anxious like a Gen Z. I need a day off. No, no, no. Would you like a day off? Yeah, I know. I need a day off. No, no, no. Would you like a day off?

Yeah, please. She's timid and burnt out. I'm anxious. Millennials are anxious. Are you actually here or working from home? I've remoted in. Okay. She's quiet quitting.

I don't have to tell you where I'm remoting in from. This is actually above and beyond the bare minimum that she is actually required to do as her job, and she's gutted she has to do it. All right, okay, both ready? Millennial ready! Your time starts now! Sea glass is a great example of...

Oh, my God, I'm typos. Hayley Sproul typing very fast. Shannon looking nervous. Gen Z is looking nervous, and I can see... Oh, it's hard because the words keep moving. 15 seconds remaining in the typing test. Hayley Sproul at a blistering pace. Gen Z, Shannon looking anxious as she two-finger types.

It's hard to read and then write it. Was that it? That is your time is up. Analyzing results, it says. Shannon, Gen Z, how do you think you went on the touch typing test? I tried spelling zebra like six times. She did. I mean, it's literally there.

You just copied the word. I was trying to use intuition and go faster, but I don't know how to spell. Oh, I got my results. Okay, my results are in. Okay, let's start with Shannon, Gen Z, who apparently has lost the ability to touch type. So the test score is done by typing speed times your accuracy equals your net speed.

Okay. Or, yeah, something like that. Okay. So do you want my net speed? Net speed, but how many typos did you have? Only five, so zebra must have only been a few times. How many typos did you have?

Zero. Oh! Okay. This will cost you time, because you would have had to backspace. Yes, yes, yeah, it did. Oh, and by the way, the average typist, they've given us an average, has a net speed of 36. Okay.

And yours is, Shannon? 29. Hayley, Jen? With zero typos. Okay. My score is very nice. 69. Yay!

Like, double. More than double We did have a bet though off air That if you won you had to buy my New World stickers Remember? For 30 bucks No I thought if you lost Yeah I lost You have to give them to her

No no no no no I don't make bets that I Hang on so I win so I give you money You own me 30 dollars You don't know how That's not how it works Or gambling. Well, we're here with Fashion News

where fashion is my passion. I'm not passionate about this. So many things have been making a comeback that me and Georgia were just laughing and laughing and laughing about this and that

and the other thing. These belts with big silver buckles or the twisty belt. We're laughing at the elastic belts. But now, apparently, thanks to Paris, Milan, you're talking your fashion capitals of the world, the skinny scarf is back. Now, this will trigger a lot of millennials.

Like, even, like, these are all on your sheens and your, like, ASOS hats and ASOS. I think when you see glasses with them, you, like, ASOS hats. Levesa, ASOS. I think when you see glasses with them, you're like, uh-oh. I know. Uh-oh. It's all down. So this is your, like, skinny long scarf that has, Fletcher was like, well, that would barely keep you warm.

It's not about warmth. It's fashion, darling. You would, like, loop around your neck and you'd have it tight and then you'd pull it down. And Bella Hadid has been wearing them. And she loves that, like like 90s, 2000s fashion. But that's what's back now.

Honestly, shouldn't be. Do we not, like when do we pull the plug and be like, alright, let's move on. Or let's go further back to the 1800s and do petticoats and corsets. We're all rocking into work with perky's. I know.

I'm a little periw know. I kind of do. I'm a little periwinkle. I would love it. Like this is so it's bad. It's bad. You can get them on Timu. You can get them at Glassons. You can get them everywhere. It's a skinny scarf. And they're saying it's bad. Emily Ratajkowski's been wearing them. The Olsen twins were

big for wearing this. Yeah and it's all through Legally Blonde and the fact that that had a resurgence recently is probably why people are doing it, right? Oh yeah, she wore those. She had a pink one, a hot pink one with her chin. Glittery. Always glittery. And they always had those little threads of glitter through it. They weren't completely glitter, but they were like these shimmer

threads that went through them and then if you wash them too much, they'd lose their shimmer. And they molt, they do, they leave behind. They do. Or if one fell out, you'd be like,. And they molt. They do. They leave behind. They do. Or if one fell out, you'd be like, mum, got to get a new one. Why? Yeah. And they would woven so loosely and cheaply that if you pulled one thread,

the whole thing would like unravel. It's terrible. And they're back. If it's back in fashion in Paris, it's back in fashion everywhere. I'll see you wearing it on Monday, guys. I dare you. Well, I bet you, I'm going to Aussie next week. I bet you everyone will be wearing it in Aussie and they'll look cool.

Yeah. Because Aussies do. They're hot. They're really hot, aren't they? They're hot. Just medically hot. Just you wait. Oh, God.

Hey, Vaughan's back tomorrow. He's listening to us right now. And yeah, I guess we're looking forward to it. And it's been, yeah, it's been really hard without him. Yep. And we've missed him dearly. And this is sincere.

Nah, joke. See you tomorrow, Vaughan. Hey, remember how you just gave that Uber driver five stars because you wanted five stars back? Yes. Let's do that with this podcast. Oh, yeah. Review it five stars, tell your friends, and we'll do the same for you if you ever need a review for anything.

But where are you giving me my five stars? Well, I don't know. Do you own a restaurant or something? Yes. If you give us five stars on this podcast, tell us where you would like your review, and we'll review. We won't even go.

We'll just review your thing. I don't want people to know where my restaurant is. I'm doing one of those secret restaurants. Oh, I was going to say, because that's exactly the opposite of how restaurants work.
